from competent evidence to have been introduced after, or not very long before, the time of Gregory the Great. It began at first with a collect, and lessons from Scripture, amongst which a psalm was read or sung, until early in the fifth century an anthem or psalm was appointed to precede them". Then followed the sermon, the dismissal of catechumens, and silent prayers made by the priest and people"; after which, the oblations of the people, consisting chiefly of bread and wine, were received while the offertory was sung. The elements being selected from these, and placed on the altar, the priest read the collect called "secreta," or "super oblata"," and then began the preface or thanksgiving, with the form "Sursum corda," &c.; at the close of which the people chanted the hymn "Tersanctus'." The canon now commenced with commending the people's gifts and offerings to the acceptance of God, and prayers for the king and the bishop, with a commemoration of the living, and especially of those who had offered liberally". This was succeeded by a prayer, that the oblation of bread and wine might "be made to us the body and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord God." The commemoration of our Saviour's deeds and words in celebrating the eucharist followed". After which came an oblation of the sacraments, as a sacrifice of bread and wine, and a petition that they might be presented by the angels on the altar in heaven. Then followed a commemoration of the departed faithful, and prayer for communion with them". The canon being now completed, the bread was broken, and divided into portions for distribution, and then the Lord's Prayer was recited". After which, the clergy and people interchanged a kiss of peace, and all communicated, and the priest concluded the office with a short prayer. This we may certainly affirm to have been the order and substance of the Roman liturgy in the fifth century, and it will be difficult to adduce any reason for thinking, that the same had not prevailed for a very great length of time before.
" The preparations, Psalm Judica, Confiteor, &c. preceding the anthem called Introitus in the Roman liturgy of modern times, are little older than the eleventh century. The Introit was appointed by Coelestine, bishop of Rome, A.D. 423.− " Hic constituit ut Psalmi David 150 ante sacrificium psallerentur antiphonatim ex omnibus, quod antea non fiebat, sed tantum Epistolae beati Pauli recitabantur, et sanctum Evangelium." Wita Coelestini e libro Pontificali. Labbe, Concilia, tom. ii. p. 1610. Compare Missale Romanum, ordo Missae, p. 187, 188. The Kyrie eleēson had been introduced from the East into the Roman church before the year 529, when it is mentioned by Concil. ii. Vasens. canon 3. Gregory the Great, Ep. ad Jo. Syracus. Ep. xii. lib. ix. edit. Benedict., says that they repeated it at Rome differently from the Greeks, namely, by saying Christe eleēson as often
as they said Kyrie eleēson.
y The oblation intervening in the modern Roman missal, beginning "Suscipe," &c. and the "Lavabo," &c. are much more recent than the time of Gregory. See Miss. Rom. 190, 191. * See Menard, Sacr. Gregor. p. 1. * Ibid. p. 2.
* Ibid. p. 2.
• Ibid. p. 3.
* This ancient order of the Roman liturgy is still visible in the liturgy of Milan. Since the time of Gregory the Great, the Lord's Prayer has been joined immediately to the Roman canon, and the bread is broken afterwards.
I am not aware that any one has yet attempted to give a correct edition of Gergory's sacramentary, on the principle of comparing manuscripts of various countries. It seems to me that such a course would afford the best prospect of attaining a correct text. Much, at all events, might thus be fixed, though a portion would still remain uncertain. English manuscripts particularly should be collated with Italian, because Gregory's sacramentary was sooner used in England than in any other country beyond the Roman patriarchate. German manuscripts should come next, and the Gallican sacramentaries, used before the Roman rite was introduced, would furnish some illustrations. With regard to the ancient Roman liturgy, or the order of prayers and canon, there is neither doubt nor difficulty, as I have already shewn.
The Roman liturgy was illustrated with much learning by John Bona, presbyter cardinal of the Roman church"; and the works of Menard', Gavanti", Martene", and Le Brun', may be consulted by those who wish to acquire further information on the subject.

THE liturgy of the church of Milan bearing the venerable name of Ambrose, archbishop of Milan, and primate or exarch of the Italic diocese in the fourth century, has long been celebrated. Several attempts have been made at different times to introduce the Roman liturgy in its place, but the attachment of the clergy and people of Milan to their ancient rites has prevailed against the zeal of rash and prejudiced innovators. The Ambrosian liturgy certainly differs in several respects from that of Rome; but it will be seen, in the sequel, that this difference was originally less than might at first sight appear. The earliest ecclesiastical writer who has been cited as speaking of the Ambrosian rite is Walafridus Strabo, who died A. D. 849, and who wrote thus: "Ambrose, bishop of Milan, appointed for his "own church, and for the rest of Liguria, the ar"rangements of the liturgy and other offices, which "are preserved even to this day in the church of "Milan"." An anonymous Irish writer, of about the year 700, speaks of Ambrose as the author of some offices", in which he may perhaps allude to the liturgy. The Ambrosian liturgy, that is, the order of variable prayers, and the text of the canon, can be ascertained by means of ancient MSS., of which two, still extant at Milan, are as old as the ninth or tenth century". The testimony of Walafridus, and the tradition of the church of Milan, at a distance of four hundred years after the death of Ambrose, are not sufficient proofs that he composed missae for the use of his church; but it is by no means improbable that he may have done so; and this would partly account for the sacramentary, or collection of missae used at Milan being called by his name; although the substance of the canon and the order of the variable prayers are probably much more ancient than his time. The first thing to be remarked of this liturgy is, that it has been different from the Roman ever since the time of Gregory the Great, A.D. 594. This patriarch probably first placed the Lord's Prayer immediately after the Roman canon", or before the breaking of bread. The Milan liturgy, which agrees in almost every other respect with the ancient Roman, differs from it in placing the breaking of bread between the canon and the Lord's Prayer", as was the case at Rome until the time of

Glassware is one of the most delicate items you can take to a self-storage facility. Treat your glassware like other items, and you are likely to find them damaged during retrieval. Your glassware doesn't have to suffer such a fate if you take the following measures:
Use the Correct Packaging
You need to use the correct packaging both in terms of type, size, and quantity. For example, each glass item needs to be packaged separately so that they don't crack by banging against each other. You also need to use a generous amount of bubble wrap or adequately thick packaging material to keep the items safe.
Use a Sturdy Box
Once you have wrapped up each glass item, you can then store them in sturdy boxes. Use a box that won't deform when it is being moved or when it is placed in the same place for a long time. The sturdiness also provides extra protection; you don't have to worry about your glassware shattering when they knock against each other or other items. Suitable box materials include wood, metal, or plastic.
Label Your Storage Boxes Properly
It is always a good idea to label storage boxes irrespective of what you are storing; it makes retrieval easy. For glass items, however, an extra motivation for labeling is to ensure that everybody handling the boxes understands that they are handling fragile items.
Don't Stack the Boxes Too High
There are two main reasons stacking boxes containing glass items is dangerous. First, you can't be sure how much weight the lower boxes can handle; you can easily crack the glass if you exceed the weight. Secondly, the upper boxes can easily lose their balance and fall, especially during retrieval. Stacking two or three boxes may not be a bad idea, depending on the type, size, and weight of glassware you are dealing with; anything higher than that isn't advisable.
Stuff Empty Spaces
Lastly, it's advisable not to leave any empty spaces between individual glasses within each box. The empty spaces will encourage the glass items to knock against each other — that isn't a good idea even if they are individually wrapped. Therefore, fill up the spaces using suitable shock absorbers, such as bubble wrap.
Hopefully, the tips above will help you to store your glass items without worrying about them breaking. If you're looking for a suitable storage location, contact companies like Cardinal Self Storage to learn about what types of units are available.Share

For those who've gotta catch 'em all, we have good news: the newest games in the ongoing Pokemon franchise, titled Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, now have an official release date. The reveal comes straight from Nintendo and Game Freak, who have confirmed that both games (available exclusively on Nintendo Switch) will hit shelves on November 15, 2019. Get those (Poke)balls ready and maybe brush up on some oldies while you're at it (namely Gold, Silver, Crystal, anything second generation). Both games are available for preorder on Amazon.
The games introduce a slew of new Pokemon to battle and capture, but the most interesting new feature is the introduction of the Dynamax power-up. Exclusive to the never-before-seen Galar region, this phenomenon allows trainers to increase the strength of their Pokemon in a three-turn, once-per-battle attack by using a Dynamax Band.
In addition to the Dynamax phenomenon, the games toss players into a region which benefits from the inclusion of Pokemon in the workforce (think Detective Pikachu). Other new features include Max Raids (four-trainer encounters with wild, Dynamaxed Pokemon), the Wild Area (basically a revamped Safari Zone, but you don't have to pay an outrageous fee to "maybe" catch a rare Pokemon), and the Legendary Pokemon Zacian and Zamazenta.
These games promise shitloads of new upgrades and changes to the Pokemon formula, but hopefully they keep the verve and spirit of the originals.
Information will continue to trickle in so stay tuned for updates!

To: firstname.lastname@example.com
From: V. Rajpurhit
Subject: Japa on Enemy
"Tava path dhare, tava na'm kare, toma'r pa'nei cale thaki…" (P.S. 2180)
Baba, by Your grace I am treading on Your path by singing Your name and moving towards You. You are my Goal.
O' my Dearmost, I am moving closer and closer towards You – to reach You. Baba, except You, in this universe who else is mine – no one. Because of this I am always calling You, seeking Your shelter.
O' Lord, O' Baba, in this decorated universe of Yours, You have provided me a special place according to Your liking. You have bestowed everything; and, You do not desire anything from anyone. Just You go on pouring Your divine grace eternally.
The demerits such as lethargy only come from my side. Plus all kinds of lame excuses I give in self-justification. Hence all the lacuna belong to me; whereas, You Yourself are ever-gracious.
Baba, You have situated my mind in the corner of Your vast cosmic mind. And from that corner it receives Your divine vibration. With the attraction and resonance of Your divine vibration, the lotus of the love, which has blossomed in my heart, is looking towards You with deep yearning.
Baba, singing Your Name, I am moving on Your path. For me, Your grace is everything…
Baba says, "If anyone's name is to be chanted in japa, it is the name of Parama Purus'a. What is japa? A word has a particular meaning; repeating the word inwardly again and again, after having understood its meaning, is what is termed japa. As a result of the prolonged repetition of a word, whose inner meaning is clearly understood, its ideation becomes permanently imprinted in one's mind, and consequently there occurs a radical change in one's mental arena. The extroversial tendencies of the mind gradually become introverted. This is the benefit of japa. And if anyone's name is to be repeated, it is the name of the Lord."
"Usually worldly people constantly repeat– do the japa of– their earthly joys and comforts, or do japa on the names of their enemies. But that is all useless. Only the name of Parama Purus'a should be repeated in the form of japa, for ultimately one will have to reach Him, to merge in Him. Ultimately one will have to reach Him. There is no other way. Hence wise persons take only the name of– do the japa of– the One and Supreme Lord, and never the name of any other entity." (12 November 1978 DMC, Kolkata)
Usually people do not realise that they are doing japa of something which is meaningless, silly, or sometimes even harmful. But it happens because the general tendency of the mind is to degenerate towards crude thoughts. For example, if someone is plunged in worldly problems or court case or enemy, then in that case they are unknowingly doing japa of that problem or enemy etc.
Another feature of the mind is that when the mind is empty then the mind often starts thinking of something which is meaningless, stupid, or harmful etc. Or it will think of something that will bring degeneration. Hence, without even their own awareness, countless people are getting adversely affected and getting poisoned by doing the japa of crude things. In His above teaching Baba says that, at any cost, this should be avoided – averted. Repeated thinking or japa should only be done on the name of the Lord. That will bring ultimate salvation and bliss.

"He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me." (2 Sam 22:18)
It is a youthful mistake to believe you are the best or the strongest. Make no mistake – there are people and forces in life that are stronger than you. A diagnosis with cancer can humble the proudest man and make him realize he is weaker than he thought. We are constantly surrounded by things that could annihilate us. The list of things that you could be afraid of is so long that diagnosing and treating 'phobias' is a full-time job for many clinical psychologists.
David penned this after God had saved him from all his enemies. David was smaller than Goliath and less powerful than Saul… and that was exactly the point. We don't have to be strong, we just need to be near Him who is.
"Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation." (Ps 68:5)

Mydd.com had this story about union activism in facebook including the successful use of facebook tools to reinstate a banned labor activist (he'd been banned.)
A few weeks ago I took a look at examples of unions using Facebook, partially inspired by Change to Win's Smack the CEO Facebook application. Over the last few days, a mini-revolt of sorts has rolled through the Facebook labor activist community, and I've got good news: our side won!
This seems relevant for the article about Organizing in the Network Society. Usual questions: does the technology or the stance of the hosting company make it easier to organize?Is this a "new" kind of organizing orthe smae kind but with new technology? who is calling the shots (who has power) in heavily privatized communication media like Facebook?
I need Brian to look at this and see what he thinks. I need to finish post also! D-oh!

There are numerous of used car dealer accounts around that identify the salesmen as pushy, handling, and cash-getting yet still wonderful and warm. This is a fragile combination of characteristics that allows them to encourage men and women to purchase cars from that exact salesman. That blend of characteristics also permits the average used car dealer a very bad reputation. Although some may possibly debate that it isn't deserved, the fact is that there are a number of used auto loads that willingly carry out some in question points to assist in improving their probabilities at receiving a selling. The pushy salesman together with the TV-produced look is usually just the suggestion of your iceberg.
The most employed and most famous training is known as "clocking," the transforming back again of the odometer. The odometer, for individuals who aren't knowledgeable about car terminology, actions the distance that the car continues to be motivated. By "clocking" an odometer, one decreases the miles that demonstrates about the odometer, giving the impression the automobile just has been somewhat used. While not an indication of an auto's total issue, the distance on the odometer typically could be used as a reflection of methods considerably longer the machine's everyday life is. The overall assumption is the longer a car has been in a person's thing; the more mls will appear around the odometer. By altering the number the odometer mirrors, the used car dealer is supplying the illusion how the car is relatively new and has not been used extensively nevertheless.
Also, a purchaser has to take into consideration the pointless prolonged service programs that salesmen force on customers. A exercise how the regular used car dealerships near me has acquired from merchants, the prolonged warranties are worded in a way that the agreements appear helpful to the individual but, in the lawful information, really disavow the Dealership associated with a commitments besides in particular scenarios. It goes without the need of proclaiming that the aforementioned scenarios do not take place very often. Whether or not the insurance coverage is pretty reasonable, the extended warranties often come with a whole lot small print from the commitment a Dealership can certainly fight their way out of the things may or may not end up being the dealer's accountability. Your choice frequently is dependent on who one requests; the Dealership or even the customer.
Perhaps, one of the most nefarious practices that a used car dealer can participate in will be the masking from the vehicle's restoration information. Each and every year, cars, which may need some level of restoration, get marketed. The equipment then end up in used auto organizations, whereby they are usually restored only enough to ensure the autos can be driven for quite a while. This means that the misconception that Dealership repair the vehicles only enough so that they fall apart, once the warrantee has expired, has a level of informative schedule. Repairs are conducted, but typically, the Dealership is unwilling to pay for whole maintenance and rather, select devices mended to retain adequate features to persuade a prospective buyer. A salesman neglecting to mention that this auto has gone through substantial repair due to crash harm is not really totally unknown and, in reality, is a kind of anecdote of used car customers.

Regular price $1,199.00
Note: This metal detector will be posted with a signature delivery sticker. A signature is required at delivery, and proof of identification would be requested before delivery of goods.
The GOLD MONSTER 1000 features fully automatic operation and comes with a choice of coils, battery options and shaft configurations. If you're looking for super sensitive gold performance at a great price, then this is the detector you've been waiting for!
- Fully automatic operation
- Extra sensitive 45 kHz VLF performance
- Highly adaptable
- 2 search coils included
- Easy quick start
Easy-to-Use Controls:
1. Gold Chance Indicator - High Gold Chance/Low Gold Chance.
2.Detect Modes - Gold (Iron Reject) Deep All-Metal.
3.Sensitivity Options - Manual sensitivity, and two auto options; Auto, and Auto+.
4.Adjustable Volume - Adjust to suit your hearing, with 6 volume levels.
"I found my first nugget within an hour; funnily enough it was in a detector scrape from previous excursions. All up I found many pieces of gold, the deepest being 3 inches in variable hot ground." Jonathan Porter - Professional Gold Prospector, Australia
"I was able to find nine small nuggets (flakes) so easily that it was a bit surprising! Total weight of all nine is 7.8 grains. None were deep, maybe 3–4 cm at most. Just enough however to be just out of reach of the SDC and too small for the GPZ." Field Tester, NV, USA
Up until now, there has always been a compromise between frequency and sensitivity when optimising detector performance, because lower frequencies are more sensitive to larger gold nuggets and higher frequencies are more sensitive to smaller gold nuggets.
When comparing detectors, the three curves in the diagram represent each detector's ability to find small gold nuggets of a certain size, at a maximum possible depth. Most detectors will find a very large nugget just beneath the surface, however a detector's sensitivity to gold determines how many smaller nuggets will ultimately be recovered in difficult (noisy) ground at greater depths.
An 18 kHz detector will normally have a depth advantage on nuggets ≥ 1.0g over a basic mid-frequency detector, and a 71 kHz detector will have a depth advantage on nuggets ≤ 0.1g. The advanced GOLD MONSTER 1000 uses an intermediate 45 kHz frequency AND a high speed 24-bit signal processor. This primary combination greatly boosts sensitivity to gold beyond that of other single frequency VLF detectors over a wide range of nugget sizes, without introducing excess noise and false signals.
The GOLD MONSTER 1000 also has improved ferrous/non-ferrous discrimination and copes better with conductive (salty) soils than higher frequency detectors, making it the perfect choice to maximise your gold recovery!
Automatic noise cancel • Digital electronics • Auto ground balance • Faster processor • Automatic sensitivity

There are tons of ideas out there to start your own business. You may have to work at getting the word out about your product or service, but at least you don't have to explain to people why they need your solution. Starting a small tailoring service is a good idea for a housewife. Some people come up with good business ideas with nary an inspiration.
Apart from this please understand that it takes time and money to establish a business. This dismal rate is mostly due to external factors like when the economy suffered recession which costs a lot of employees their jobs and lot of small businesses faced closure.
Believe it or not, there are definite advantages for retirees that want to start a home based business. We came up with ideas where our service could be used. Exhibition stalls, which all sell the same clothes, handbags and accessories are mushrooming at a high rate and a walk around the city reveals that there are exhibition stalls on every street both downtown and in the central business district (CBD).
Potential employer home based Internet affiliate business companies include, marketing, sales and advertising companies and also consumer goods manufacturing companies. This is one of the good home based business ideas. You can plan to start your own company which will do ghost-writing for businesses, posting on blogs, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts & Facebook pages.
There are so many business ideas out there, you just have to pick out the right one for you. Attending trade events and exhibits can be very good for a person who is looking for business ideas. So people have started using the services of such light installation businesses.

I watched with growing frustration during the Obama administration as environmentalists used sage grouse as a tool to shut down livestock grazing, energy development and other multiple uses of our federal lands.
But I have some good news from the Trump administration, which is using its administrative authority to help Idaho by restoring common-sense management to protect the bird, the landscape and support local economies.
Last week, I participated in a House Natural Resources Committee hearing exploring how western states are better suited to lead the way on sage grouse recovery. Among those testifying was Idaho House Speaker Scott Bedke, who explained the devastating effects of overreaching federal management.
It's important to remember that environmental extremists have seen sage grouse as a means to achieve their goal of ending 150 years of grazing and energy development on public lands. They've been trying to get sage grouse listed as an endangered species for 20 years.
In 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said there was no scientific evidence that the bird was endangered. That decision was grounded on effective state-based management plans, which Interior Secretary Ken Salazar asked states to develop in 2011. In Idaho, a broad base of stakeholders wrote a scientifically sound plan fitting the facts on the ground. Other states did the same.
Unfortunately, Salazar's successor, Sally Jewell, changed the rules at the end of the game. Though an endangered species listing was unwarranted, the government issued 98 amendments in 2015 undermining the states' plans.
New restrictions included 5-mile buffer zones around every breeding site that required ranchers to let grass grow high enough to hide sage grouse from crows and ravens. Never mind that the government hasn't bothered to manage and remove those predators for decades. I've supported legislation to fight this land grab, including H.R. 527, the Greater Sage Grouse Protection and Recovery Act this Congress.
Thankfully, the American people chose Donald Trump as President, and his Department of Interior ordered a review of the amendments. A public hearing process is underway, and I hope the result will be restoring the state-based plans.
At last week's hearing, Speaker Bedke joined witnesses from other western states to discuss their balanced recovery plans reflecting local conditions. Bedke cited an example from his own experience that was of particular interest to the committee.
Last year, a 500-acre fire on Bedke's ranch near the Idaho-Nevada border had been contained. But the next day, it flared up again. Firefighters arrived with heavy equipment, including a Caterpillar tractor. But because there was no "Cat-tender" on hand – a person trained to walk in front of the tractor to spot possible archeological artifacts – the equipment was idled. The result? The fire grew to 20,000 acres.
The terrible irony of all this is that wildfire is the No. 1 threat to sage grouse. This appalling absence of common sense is emblematic of a pattern of failed federal land management that has left our forests to burn, unnecessarily hampered agriculture and stifled economic innovation.
I'm optimistic state authority will be restored as another step to reduce needless red tape. I will continue to work with President Trump to champion the principle that the best decisions are made by those closest to the ground. The result will be a healthier landscape, stronger communities and a growing economy.

Oh boy do I have a lot to talk about, but I'm going to try and keep my week of experiences brief, which means I'll only be talking about it for a couple of weeks*, and for this article in particular I'll be painting in broad strokes.
Getting to Indianapolis was a saga in its own right, a screw up with booking the flight cost me a grand more than it should have done, I missed out on a couple of the opportunities I'd have liked, and learned a few other lessons about how Gencon works differently to other conventions, but I'll save a lot of that for another article.

Hi Robert,
I don't know anything about Avco units. I would measure the battery boxes and get the biggest capacity batteries that would fit. How many batteries does it use? some have a separate battery bank for the house and a single starting battery. Make a note of the terminal positions. IH engines usually start very easily if they are in tune so don't really need a huge battery.
Sincerely, Kirk Hoffman
Personally, I would never put disc brakes on anything. In these days of high gas prices you just add more rolling resistance. I have never seen a disc brake system where the wheels will rotate freely when you raise them off the ground. To prove my point jack up the front end of a drum brake vehicle and give it a spin. See how long it spins, not try that on a disc brake front end! That being said, I don't know of any conversions and doubt there are any. International stopped building this series chassis in 1975, and never offered disc brakes on them as far as I know. You might find a front axle off something newer in a junk yard, but it would involve a bunch of searching for the right spring spacing and steering set up. Simple physics show that a drum brake system gives you a lot more brake area than discs, and on a RV they would be the most sensible way to go. But if you simply must have disc brakes, go for it and let me know how that workd out.
I have a 1970 international chassis 1510 was wondering if any one knows if you can put a disc brake conversion on it??
Looking for any information on a North American All Seasons RV built in Sioux City, Iowa, on a 1970 International frame. Thanks for your help.
sorry I put 1410 should be 1310 mikeh
hey kirk; my motorhome saya it a 1410 mhc on the tag and it got 5 lug buds on it , and the 16in wheels I put on are ford and dodge 1t tubeless. yes ihc motorhomes were built at the then discontinued metro plant in Chicago. also you may have solved a long standing problem about some of couch wiring and converter. thanks you've helped a bunch. mikeh
Hi Mike, Did IHC actually build the bodies for their RV's? Were they based on the IH Metro vans? I'd like to know more about them.
I don't know about your system, but both of mine have converters to change 120 to 12V power. All my interior lighting is 12V. The outlets and AC are wired for 120V. I too replaced my old gad refrigerator with a Walmart version. I had to install a new outlet for it in the enclosure. I just connected it to an existing outlet and ran it into the compartment. I believe any available converter would work for you. Just replace the old one and you should be good to go. Kirk
hi all; ive been on here since oct. of last year. working on a 74 I h c , and yes I H C built motorhomes for 1 year. ive been through brakes ,wheel bearings ,replaced wheels to tubeless, repaired and replaced dash wiring and gauges, replaced fuse panel. put in new circuit breaker box because fridge was bad (replaced with Wal-Mart 120v unit and microwave). but now my question to anyone who knows or understands part of the coach wiring is 120v and part is 12v. this unit has a phillips converter pt# pc301-m-2, 30 amp ,which is no longer available. it was struck by lightning, as was my house last year. can someone explain wiring and converters to me? I understand most of it but would like to talk to some body who knows much more than me. buy for now bless you all and be safe; mi

More than four out of five financial advisors are using social media for businesses purposes and close to 100% are using social networks for business or personal purposes, according to Putnam's sixth social media survey.
The survey of 1,021 advisors across the U.S. in late 2018 found that advisors are using social media to acquire new clients (92% of those who use social media for business said social media helped them do this, up from 49% in 2013), initiate contact with referrals from existing clients (57%), connect with clients' heirs and adult children (47%) and increase their assets under management. The average new AUM gained from social media initiatives is $4.9 million.
Nearly nine in 10 advisors say social media plays a key role in marketing efforts, up from 23% in 2014.
"The use of social media for business purposes by financial advisors has matured during the six years we have conducted this study, evolving from the periphery of the advisor experience into a critical tool for business development and client services," said Mark McKenna, head of global marketing for Putnam, in a statement.
LinkedIn remains the most popular network for advisors, followed by Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, but fewer advisors cite Facebook as their primary network following years of study growth (30%, down from 36%). More advisors are using Twitter to promote themselves as thought leaders.
The average advisor using social media is almost 44 years old, working in the business for 11 years and male (two-thirds of advisor users). Over 60% of advisors surveyed report that social media increases their efficiency "a great deal." More specifically advisors said that social media makes it easier for them to share information with clients and communicate with clients more frequently and make decisions.
Over 60% of advisors surveyed consider themselves an expert in using social media, but Putnam believes only a quarter of those self-described experts actually meet that definition in practice, based on its own internal benchmark.
Advisors who want to check where their use of social networks ranks among their peers can take a short quiz at Putnam's advisorsaresocial.com website under the "Your Practice" tab and receive some pointers on how to increase and manage their social presence.
As for future use of social media, the survey found that among current advisor users, over 50% expect to integrate social media into their marketing automation systems (53%), while 47% expect to add staff dedicated to social media responsibilities. Sixty percent expect to dig deeper into their existing social network presence.

- 6 cups sliced, peeled apples
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place apples in 8×8 baking pan. Mix remaining ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over apples.
Melt 1/3 cup butter and drizzle on apple mixture. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. This recipe comes from the St. Paul Lutheran Cookbook, Otis, IN through Bonnie Martin's Aunt, Lois Burge.
Radke Orchard traditions – I've seen my mother-in-law, Gladys Radke, sprinkle a little vanilla and/or cinnamon over the apples before she adds the crust mixture. She adds the cinnamon before the crust because the cinnamon on top makes the crust a darker brown. She adds the vanilla because her mother-in-law, Jessie Radke, always added vanilla to enhance the apple flavor. When doubling this recipe, sometimes more crust mixture is necessary. We prefer Ida Red apples, although Golden Delicious work well also. Mutzu makes a crisper crisp, as those apples remain crisp when baked. A soft apple, such as McIntosh, makes a softer crisp. We use enough apples to generously fill the baking dish.

The iconic aesthetic of punk fashion is shirts, jeans, and other apparel items that are ripped on purpose, and held together by safety pins. The Sex Pistols were trendsetters for punk fashion. According to fashion historian Bonnie English "the Sex Pistols helped to put punk rock into the popular media with their loud anti-music and their obscene behavior".[1] The record Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols had flamboyant cover art that displayed a portrait of the queen with a lip piercing fashioned out of a safety pin. The safety pin lip piercing ultimately symbolized the corrupted hypocrisies of the British government and economy. As, historian David Simonelli says, "The safety pins…represented the damage that a culturally barren professional society had foisted upon their bodies and their lives. By adopting such language, punks could launch their own attacks on middle-class culture"[2] While punk fashion created a sense of homogeneity within the punk scene, the fashion served as a mark of identity, and signified a political statment.

In today's digital environment, marketers' window of opportunity for customer engagement is getting ever smaller. There are many different digital channels for your business to reach your audience, but changing browsing behaviours and social media trends have limited the time you get to grab the attention of your prospects and customers, amidst your growing competition.
Visual impact in social media is now key for engagement – the popularity of Instagram is testament to that – which is why there are so many tools and techniques for enhancing the visual impact of your marketing content. Enchant presents 5 ways to use visual impact for social media marketing success:
Use quick and easy creative tools
There is an array of tools for creating visually appealing and attention-grabbing images, charts, infographics and covers for blog posts and guides. Piktochart, Canva and Gliffy are just a few good tools to mention, whilst there are various sites, such as Unsplash and Shutterstock, which offer a library of royalty-free images to incorporate into your creative.
These tools save busy marketers time and allow them to create engaging visuals to accompany marketing content without having to be design specialists. Read more about time-saving tools for social media, with our handy blog: Time-Saving Tips and Tools for Optimising Social Media Posts.
Utilise GIFs to boost your message
GIFs are on trend and they are great for visual impact. The moving images and looping nature of GIFs can help to enhance a statement or a part of your message. Its repetitive format has the ability to drum your content's message into users' memories, helping to drive it home and maximise its impact. Use sites like Giphy, which have thousands of GIFs for different topics, to select a suitable GIF for your content.
GIFs are often used for humorous purposes or to back up copy within your marketing posts, but they also have mesmeric visual impact which boosts the virality and potential reach of your content.
Starting rolling out a live video plan
Many marketing thought leaders will tell you that if you are not using live video in your marketing strategy, then you are already being left behind. Brands want to be seen to be in touch with popular trends and online behaviours and although live video is in its infancy, it is worth strongly considering adding it to your marketing mix.
Whether it is Periscope users live streaming on Twitter or brands utilising Facebook Live, much of the live video content marketing being posted is fairly rough and ready. We've seen some big-name businesses having teething problems with live video, but this is understandable and people relate to the instant and agile nature of the medium.
In these early days, it is best to not worry too much about a shaky phone camera hand or sketchy audio, it is best to dip your toes into the water and try it out. The real-time feedback you will get from users will let you know your issues, which you can iron out for your future attempts.

Emojis can add humour and visual emotion
The use of emojis has quickly risen from being a fun addition to messages and content, to a crucial engagement tool for digital marketers. Brands are using emojis to enhance their social media content, soften the tone of their marketing and evoke reactions from their audience.
A great example of clever marketers using emojis effectively was during the build-up to the release of the Marvel film Deadpool. It is fair to say the film did not take itself too seriously, and neither did its marketers. Here are a few snippets from their promotional activity, which utilised the impact of emojis:
Here is a picture of a billboard poster for the film, which use some cheeky emojis. The image was shared heavily on social media and the emojis in the poster were used on Twitter in some of their marketing posts. Even the film's lead actor, Ryan Reynolds, got in on the act by using the emojis in his tweets.
This was not the only example of emoji use in Deadpool's social media marketing – just look at all the branded emojis below. What a smart way of boosting the film's social media presence and shareability.
Creating branded emojis is only going to become more popular as a trend. Look at Facebook's celebration of Star Trek's 50th anniversary with customised Facebook Reactions:
Take advantage of visual enhancement features
Visual enhancement is becoming a common technique for increasing both engagement and reach. There are plenty of free tools for adding filters to images to make them more visually appealing and engaging, but social media channels themselves are encouraging users to add features and tags to their social post images.
Snapchat and Twitter, for example, have a range of "stickers" (similar to emojis), which can be added to pictures to give them a twist, enhance them, drive home a message, or to add searchability. Twitter Stickers are clickable and essentially represent visual hashtags. Follow the new trend and be prepared for a future rush of branded stickers.

The great culinary genius Julia Child was once quoted saying, "A party without cake is just a meeting." I would like to add a riff on this quotation by stating the following: "A dinner table that's not dressed in linens and napkins is but a mere piece of furniture."
This is why each season we like to share with you beautiful new tabletop pieces to help you create chic settings. This isn't to say that all your tables should be of the grand variety. Or that you should cast away what you have previously bought to make room for new ones.
Just as you would decorate your home with pieces collected over time, we want you to dress your tables with elements from various seasons. As in previous collections, there is also a wanderlust thread to spring 2019 with Spain and Italy providing starting points for designs. The Seville collection of placemats, runner and coasters borrows its colors from Spanish dance costumes and the Amalfi blends the coastline's blue waters and red corals into a degrade placemat.
So, I encourage you to have fun with your tables. To run away with a theme or to mix and match. Let's party!

The Making Of Spring 2019 Collection
The great culinary genius Julia Child was once quoted saying, "A party without cake is just a meeting." I would like to add a riff on this quotation by stating the following: "A dinner table that's not dressed in linens and napkins is but a mere piece of furniture."
The Spanish city of Seville with its Moorish influences and rich history of flamenco dancing is the inspiration for this mini collection. Multi-color hand-dyed glass beads, a layering of sequins, and cording techniques on tile-like shapes make for vibrant colorful pieces. With its interconnected quatrefoil, the placemat is a true standout

The design of the Konark Placemat harkens back to the stain glass windows of a Gothic cathedral or the setting of a medieval jewel. Ivory and beige resin is hand-poured on a placemat base then overlaid with a sheet of laser cut metal boasting geometric shapes. The brass toned metal gives the resin a tile effect, while hand poured resin cabochons adorn the border, making this placemat jewelry for the table.

Just as the name suggests, this collection borrows its shape from flowers. However, instead of colorful petals, we made it in monochromatic silver for a dazzling effect. Glass bugle beads are arranged in staggered effect to form a multi-petal flower placemat and runner. To compliment these pieces is the Bloom Napkin Ring, which looks like an arctic flower with its quartz points, and the glamorous dragonfly-inspired Nymph Napkin Ring.

Shadow Hills RV Resort still has vacancy for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
Shadow Hills RV Resort, which normally sells out months in advance for both the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals, is sold out once again for Stagecoach.
But for some reason, attendees for this year's Coachella festival have yet to fill up the park, according to Paula Turner, who co-owns Shadow Hills RV Resort with her husband, David.
"It's very fortunate that there is still availability for that last-minute festival goer," Turner said.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is scheduled for two consecutive weekends, April 12-14 and April 19-20, while Stagecoach Country Musical Festival takes place April 26-28.
Shadow Hills RV Resort provides its guests with a variety of amenities not typically found in RV resorts, including luxurious country club-style restrooms that are fully stocked with shaver kits as well as oral hygiene and skin care products.
"In every part of the resort, we try to provide very good customer service," Turner said. "But it takes a lot of staffing to do that. We could not provide good customer service without an exceptional team."
The Turners have invested in many improvements during the past decade, which include paving and reconfiguring their RV sites to accommodate today's largest rigs with slideouts. They have also installed a solar-heated, salt water swimming pool, a covered area by the swimming pool for outdoor massages and more lighting by the park's ponds and fire pit to accommodate outdoor activities.
The resort's newest additions are vintage RV trailer rentals, including a 1948 Curtis Wright, a 1948 Westwood and a 1954 Boles Aero, which are now available for rent. The resort is also partnering with a local RV rental firm to provide additional RV rentals for Coachella festival attendees. Additional rental units include furnished tipis and a park model RV.
Shadow Hills is typically booked with snowbirds through March. After that, the resort fills up with teenagers, 20-somethings and young-at-heart travelers from around the world who come to the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio to attend the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach, one of the nation's largest country music festivals. Both events take place in April.
For more information on Shadow Hills RV Resort, please visit its website at www.shadowhillsrvresort.com. Shadow Hills RV Resort is affiliated with the California Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds and is featured on Camp-California.com, the association's travel planning website in addition to being listed in its free printed camping guide, Camp-California! The Campers Guide to California, which can be ordered through Camp-California.com. A digital version of the guide is also available on the website.

By Alex Crits-Christoph
By the week before the Phage Olympics, most of us had streaked our plaques, obtained our high titer lysates, isolated the phage DNA, and seen our phages using electron microscopy. However, there was a final, big step we all had to go through: gel electrophoresis.
DNA electrophoresis is a process used to separate and create a dyed visualization of DNA fragments. It can be used to gain a general picture of what the isolated phage DNA looks like, and how high quality the DNA prep is.
The first gel I did was a quality control (QC) gel. This test assesses the quality of your DNA sample. In preparation for this gel, first the DNA was rapidly heated, then cooled on ice. Then, 1 𝛍L of the DNA was first placed in a microcentrifuge tube, and 4 more 𝛍L of dye were added to the sample. This sample was then run on a gel for around 40 minutes. Here was an example of a QC gel (my sample is labeled ACC):
Higher quality samples should appear as a single band with little to no smearing. Because none of our samples that I know of exhibited a large amount of streaking, we all had pretty high quality DNA!
The second DNA electrophoresis I did was the restriction digest. This gel involved cutting up the DNA fragments into separate pieces using restriction enzymes. In preparation for this gel, I first incubated my DNA, then cooled it on ice, and then set up 6 different samples, each with 0.5 𝛍L DNA solution and a specific restriction enzyme in solution. These samples were quickly spun, and then incubated. They were then laid out in gel wells, and the gel was run for 30-45 minutes.
How did it turn out? Pictured below is my gel electrophoresis:
Now, the restriction digest is used to compare the genetic content of an unknown — in this case, my phage — to several knowns in order to find a match or similar phage. Based on what I already knew (my phage was probably in cluster C), I took a look at some virtual images of digests from the phage database. I found some which were close, pictured below:
However, the restriction digest certainly doesn't tell you everything there is to know: it just a part of the larger phage picture!

Periodontal Disease by Jean-Jacques Edderai D.D.S.
Periodontal disease are the terms used for infections that affect the supporting and surrounding structures of the teeth. The initial stage, gingivitis, affects the gums (or gingival) which is the soft outer surrounding structure of the teeth. The more advanced stage, periodontitis, usually following from gingivitis, advances to the hard tissues such as bone, and

What intrigues you about the Spirit World?
I'd have to say that I like alternate explanations for things and the paranormal and the cryptid world has always interested me. I guess I like a world where more things are possible!
Are there any similarities between you and your characters?
I'd like to think they have my eyes ... :)
Seriously, the sense of humour is probably the greatest contribution from me to them. Other than that, we share a few experiences, but nothing major. I am not, for example, 6'7" or a stunningly beautiful 22 year old woman. Nor am I a soulless black pit-eyed monster who steals the bodies of the less fortunate ...
Who is your favorite author and what about their work draws you in?
That's a tough one. As a kid I loved John Wyndham and JRR Tolkein because they created magical worlds with fantastic possibilities. Later it was George MacDonald Fraser for his ability to spin a believable and entertaining tale that sounded like it might just have happened. Stephen King's capacity to keep me enthralled with his horrific sense of things also kept me entertained. I also enjoy biographies, but usually only of musicians. J.K. Rowling impresses the hell out of me with what she has accomplished and she writes a compelling story with characters who I now feel I know.
Who was the hardest character for you to write about?
The hardest character was probably Glencoe. I was never sure I really liked her :) Fastman was also a bit of a pill, but the story needed them both.
Tell us something fun about you?
I draw cartoons. It has become a bit of a trademark in my other life work and has landed me in trouble more than once!
Was it difficult determining how to bring the characters to the page?
This will make me sound certifiable, but not at all - they seem to just show up for me and then it's almost as if we hang out together and I wait to see what they'll do! I have frequently had my carefully planned plot lines get all twisted and knotted together because of the clever things they stumble on to. I seriously feel like I'm just along for the ride sometimes. Yes, officer, I'll come quietly ...
What is your favorite Quote?
One I made up. There may be no "I" in team, but there's no "U" either ...
Choose only one. If you could choose between invisibility or the ability to fly, which would you choose?
Flying, hands (or wings) down. I have had the flying dream, dammit and I would love that skill!
Are there any new projects in the works?
Ohhhh yes. I have two books of a trilogy finished (about 1200 pages so far) about a set of homicide detectives who find themselves sucked into a set of serial killings that turn into so much more ...
Then there's the Toby Thompson and Alexandra Lawson stories about two teens who find an ancient map that turns out to have peculiar powers of translocation - that one is going to spawn a whole pile of books (but only 8 chapters of the first so far), so I am always working on something.
What is the question that you wish interviewers would ask, and the answer to that question?
Q. Rob, I have a friend who wants to buy a copy of your book for every child in mainland China and the Indian sub continent, where can she get WiSpY?
A. Why on Amazon, of course - just follow the link! Amazon
That was what we call a cheap plug :)
Thank you so much for stopping by and chatting with me!
Thanks for having me on the blog. I seriously hope people enjoy WiSpY. Dam Good Books showed some faith in the story and I hope that people have as much fun dancing with my characters and their story as I did creating that dance in the first place.

ATex LoRa temperature sensors: two French industrial companies combine their know-how
CA PYROCONTROLE and MIOS, two French industrial companies, have pooled their skills to bring connected objects as close as possible to a complex process on the pilot site of one the major French players in refining by integrating LoRa® temperature sensors on the flare stacks. A trial run which has proved conclusive!
- For effective preventive maintenance
- How Pyrocontrole developed a LoRa ATex sensor
- 150 billion connected objects by 2025
- LoRa ATex sensors, to give you a competitive advantage
For early detection of events on the flare stacks
Although the use of connected objects has become widespread in our day-to-day lives, they are much rarer in the world of advanced industry, where wire connections are still widely used. This means the introduction of connected objects is shaking up industrial processes. Because of the rapid evolution of the Internet and the development of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) platforms, it is crucial to make the right technological choices for effective predictive maintenance.
Thanks to each company's complete mastery of their expertise, it took CA PYROCONTROLE, a subsidiary of the Chauvin Arnoux Group, and MIOS, a subsidiary of the SNEF Group, less than six months to meet the highly specific requirement of the French refinery seeking to implement a
solution forearly detection of events on all the flare stacks on the refinery site. The goal was to detect any gas leaks released into the atmosphere when burning off natural gas resulting from oil refining via flare stacks. Indeed, this practice has a significant environmental impact due to the emission of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, as well as wasting a potential resource. To recycle this gas instead of burning it, MIOS has installed CA PYROCONTROLE, sensors for explosive atmospheres downstream of each valve to measure the external temperature. By comparing it with the temperature normally accepted in the flare stacks, these sensors detect any anomalies liable to lead to a gas leak. So measuring is important, but transmitting the measurement data from the CA PYROCONTROLE Atex temperature sensors to a single server is even more crucial to help you react quickly. Making sensors communicate while cutting system operating costs to a minimum has given rise to a totally innovative solution in industrial conditions. By integrating the LoRa® communication technology, MIOS has responded in full to the dual problem faced by the refiner.
LoRa® is gradually gaining a foothold in the world of cutting-edge industry
LoRa®is a telecommunication protocol for low-bandwidth radio communication by objects with low electricity consumption. LoRa® can be used to connect sensors or objects requiring a long battery life (several years) in a compact format (size of a matchbox or cigarette packet) at reduced cost. MIOS, specialized in the Internet of Things, therefore rose to the challenge of developing ATex temperature sensors using a reliable, long-term technology which is cheap to implement. MIOS developed an electronic circuit board incorporated in each CA PYROCONTROLE ATex temperature sensor and rolled out the entire LoRa® radio communication infrastructure on the refinery site.. A sensor which has no contact with the process means less pipework, leading to considerable economic savings.
This technology, used until now in the tertiary sector, also offers a large number of advantages which can easily be transposed, whatever the industrial field involved.
Laying cables on an industrial site is extremely costly. The routing, infrastructures, operating licences and systems implemented all add to the bill. The LoRa® systems developed are lightweight, because they are wireless, and economical because they require little investment for installation or operation. Thanks to their range of several kilometres, the number of antennae is limited and each antenna is capable of managing up to 1,000 measuring devices. They require little maintenance and their batteries have a life span of around ten years. That means significant savings in terms of time and money to minimize the costs.
The IoT, a strategic target for French industrial companies
The Internet of Things or IoT refers to the growing number of objects connected to internet, thus allowing communication between our physical possessions and their digital representatives. Considered to be the third internet revolution, described as Web 4.0, it will see more than one hundred and fifty billion objects connected together by 2025.
The IoT is included in the digital roadmap which the CHAUVIN ARNOUX Group and the SNEF Group , have been following for a few years now..
Through its subsidiary MIOS, the SNEF Group is a recognized player in the connected world and proposes innovative data transmission and industrial IT solutions. As an expert in temperature measurement in severe environments, CA PYROCONTROLE is exploring the possibilities offered by the IoT to develop unprecedented services based around data analysis for its customers. In any case, these industrial companies were not mistaken and have understood the potential of the IoT for them. They are now determined to take advantage of their know-how.
New development prospects in the IoT
According to the study : "IoT: the reality for the industrial sector in France?" (PAC, avril 2017, in French), 72% of European industrial companies expect to step up their investment in the Internet of Things (IoT) in the next 3 years. This also means new prospects for the development of innovative products and services for French companies seeking to contribute to the transformation of industrial processes (production, quality control, etc.).
Preventive maintenance is naturally the top priority of industrial managers, who see IoT solutions as a fundamental pillar of their future growth and the cost reductions linked to them.
This growing maturity regarding the Internet of Things places temperature sensors at the centre of infinite possibilities and makes the associated LoRa® communication technology,a genuine source of value creation and competitive advantage. By highlighting the case of the refinery, MIOS and CA PYROCONTROLE are opening up the possibility of rolling out similar solutions for industrial companies currently engaged in an identical approach to cut operating costs.
A solution with multiple advantages
- Time saved through lightweight implementation; minimization of installation costs
- Technology with low electricity consumption
- Long battery life in a compact format
- Economical wireless solution; little investment for operation
- Effective predictive maintenance; reliable, long-term communication which is cheap to set up
- Easy to transpose to all industrial sectors

Sorting fact from fiction in the case of Margot Robbie
She is Hollywood's star of the moment and you only have to look at the magazine stands in your local supermarket to see "our" Margot Robbie's ascent to the top of the showbiz tree is complete.
Of course it's not all glamour shoots for Robbie, who complained to US Vogue she hated being described as a "bombshell", while a 2016 feature in Vanity Fair caused an national outcry here when her homeland was described as a nation of "throwbacks".
Now the team behind US fact checking website Gossip Cop have gotten onto the Robbie case, and their advice to you dear reader is simple: don't believe everything you read about Australia's shiniest star.
In an attempt to sort the fact from the fiction, Gossip Cop released an audit of Robbie's appearances in a variety of magazines around the world.
If you believed all that was written about her, one would imagine former Neighbours star Robbie had morphed into a celebrity-eating diva and was constantly feuding with other stars.
In April, Gossip Cop busted the US version of OK! for "falsely claiming" Gwyneth Paltrow was furious with Robbie, because the upcoming Hulu series "Dollface," which Robbie is producing, supposedly pokes fun at Paltrow's lifestyle brand Goop.
On the show, the main character works at a company called Woom, but according to Gossip Cop "there's nothing to suggest the name is a reference to Goop, and it's unclear if the company is even a lifestyle brand".
Still, an anonymous insider told OK! that Paltrow was fuming, while Robbie found the whole situation "funny."
Gossip Cop went to a Paltrow spokesperson who described the article as "nonsense".
In February, Gossip Cop called out Life & Style for wrongly reporting that Robbie got into a heated fight with Lady Gaga at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. According to the magazine, the two stars had never liked each other and had a history of competing for roles and snubbing each other on red carpets.
But Gaga's spokesperson told Gossip Cop there wasn't any bad blood between the two.
A little closer to home, in March 2018 Gossip Cop debunked a "bogus New Idea "story about Robbie feuding with Jennifer Lawrence, who reportedly was jealous of the fellow actress "stealing her spotlight."
Perhaps New Idea had been paying too much attention to a red carpet interview at Elle's Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration in 2017, when Lawrence joked, "Margot Robbie is so pretty that I think I should just go home!"
New Idea was also behind reports of a supposed feud between Robbie and Nicole Kidman. The magazine maintained the two Australian actresses avoided each other at last year's Gotham Independent Film Awards because of an unknown "beef" between them.
But New Idea didn't mention the actresses posing together on the cover of W magazine the same month of the alleged snubbing, or that shortly later Robbie and Kidman sat together at a New York Fashion Week show.
Robbie must be used to it by now, given that America's In Touch reported Angelina Jolie snubbed Robbie at the Hollywood Film Awards, claiming Robbie had attempted to introduce herself to Jolie, who supposedly responded, "I know who you are" and then "turned her back."
However organisers of the awards show, some of them on the red carpet when the incident allegedly took place, had no recollection of the supposed incident, and Gossip Cop noted that "not a single other media outlet witnessed the alleged conflict either. That's because it never happened."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –
After topping off the 2010 season with one best national finishes in the history of the program, Florida State's Maria Salinas (Peru) and Macarena Silva (Chile) will represent Florida State and their countries in the 2010 Women's World Amateur Team Championship. The Argentine Golf Association will host the biannual competition that is set to take place at the Olivos Buenos Aires Golf Clubs in Argentina October 20-23, 2010.
Silva, Florida State's leading golfer of the 2009-2010 season, represented Chile in the 2008 championship. The trio helped Chile to a 34th place finish with Silva finishing as the teams top ranked golfer. Florida State's most experienced player averaged 76.75 strokes in the four rounds of play. After making her mark internationally, the All-ACC honoree pushed the Seminoles to a 10th place finish in the 2010 NCAA Championship – the highest finish in Florida State's history – and curtailed the year with a career-low 74.00 stroke average.
After partnering alongside Silva in last year's success, Salinas won a ticket of her own to Argentina, solidifying Peru's first appearance in the global tournament since 2004. During the 2010 NCAA Championship, Silva finished 20th, marking Florida State's second best individual finish in the NCAA Championship. Former four-time All-American Catherine Westrup is the only player ranked above Salinas and finished tied for 11th in 2007. Westrup won the individual world championship as a representative of Sweden in 2006 and also took home the sixth lowest score in the tournament's history (72-73-66-69).
"It's an honor to be given the opportunity to represent my home country in the World Championship," said Salinas. "I am excited to play with my teammates, for the flag and people of my country and in a great, great event. It is going to be a very exciting time for me and Maca, and I am looking forward to the competition."
Following Westrup's 2006 performance, Sweden took custody of the Espirito Santo Trophy in the 2008 Championship after finishing second to South Africa in the previous biennium. Anna Nordqvist and Caroline Hedwall led the Swedes to 19-under-par 561 finish, three strokes off the lowest score in championship history set by the United States in 1998 (558).
Silva and Salinas will kick off the first round of the 2010 Women's World Amateur Team Championship on Wednesday, October 20th at the Olivos and the Buenos Aires Golf Clubs. The 2012 championship will be played in Antalya, Turkey.

Minimum Wage
Thursday April 14, 2016 at the City Council of Oakland, POOR Magazine and I attended a protest that was for the minimum wage to be raised to $15.00. There was a lot of people who came out to support this important event. This was people in community that got together. It didn't matter what color you were or what you consider yourself. Because they all had a similar problems. That is, minimum wage is too low to live out of. We also had the chance to interview minimum wage workers. In response we received really strong answers about why they felt minimum wage should be raised to be $15 and what hurts them by the current minimum wage.
"Is it possible to survive with the minimum wage?" I asked one of the workers from the SEIU union at the fight for $15 rally. He said, "No it is not enough because the minimum wage is too low." The minimum wage statewide is $10.00.
"Have you had more than one job because you didn't have enough for your economic needs?" They said yes, they have"had to work 2 or even 3 jobs" because hedidn't have enough for food or rent.
"Have you ever experienced wage theft? If so.. can you explain how was your experience?" They answered yes, they have experienced wage theft. They worked for a company on a holiday and they would clock in the time they would start and the time they would end.But for some reason either the clock or the manager would do something that would show that he didn't do the hours and they never gave him his paycheck when he worked for the holiday..
"Do you think minimum wage should be raised to $15 in 2022 or should it be raised immediately?" He said, "The minimum wage shouldn't be raised immediately even though it may be good." The reason why they said no is because they feel like if we raised it immediately it would affect us economically by rent going even higher than what it is now and also Food, Clothes, Gas. Etc... "Because every year we have raised the minimum wage our sources we need to survive have also increased in price".
In conclusion minimum wage workers had an important event. People got together because of a similar problem that the current minimum wage is not enough for them. They feel like the minimum wage should go up to $15 because it will help small companies and will create more jobs but the minimum wage should not be rushed, it should go up slowly so we would not suffer by other economic cost like rent, bills, clothes, food ect.

By choosing these fillings, you can smile, talk, laugh, and eat in complete confidence knowing that your teeth look perfectly natural.
Besides the aesthetics they offer a lot more advantages to you.
Conservation of tooth structure
The older type of fillings did not bond directly to the tooth structure.
So in order to retain them into the tooth there was a need to make undercuts hence removing healthy tooth structure as well.
This bonding can protect and increase the overall strength of the tooth being restored,
More tooth like properties
The newer tooth coloured fillings become a part of your tooth.
These materials have physical properties which are similar to the teeth. They are less stiff, more flexible.
So when you chew food, forces are transferred to the underlying tooth in a more physiological way ie. less deteriorating to the tooth structure hence making them stronger
