It is rumored that Samsung has expanded this system still further with the Galaxy S9 series in mind, with new functionality included. Furthermore, the unveiling of the Galaxy X may also be held in January during the CES show to be held in Las Vegas. The model numbers associated with the devices are SM-G960 and SM-G965.
However, the country is home to several tech giants such as Samsung and LG, and South Korea will reportedly look into whether foreign firms are damaging the domestic smartphone market. The Galaxy S9 is expected to arrive with a 5.8-inch super AMOLED display while the S9+ will feature a much larger 6.2-inch curved-edge display.
The "Infinity Display" introduced on the current-gen Galaxy phones, which extends the display across the entire front, will remain. It also appears to be the first handset that fixes the awkward fingerprint scanner placement that has been criticized on the Galaxy S8 and Note 8.
Another notable improvement in the Galaxy S9 that is likely is the inclusion of a dual-camera for the first time. It's very possible that this might not even be the final design of the phone.
He said: 'As the head of the business, I can say our current goal is next year.
The Dutch Site Let's Go Capital depicts that there is an elbow like hinge in the middle of the device, which makes you go back to the same feel of that of the flip phones.
'When we can overcome some problems for sure, we will launch the product'.
Moving on, the company will also bring the fingerprint sensor on the bottom, which would be a welcome move as the placement was heavily criticized in all the 2017 flagship smartphones from Samsung.
At $929, the Note 8 is now the most expensive phone you can find on the Microsoft Store, and unlike the Galaxy S8 it's not now on sale ahead of Black Friday.
As it stands, the Galaxy Note8 is the company's most expensive smartphone available right now.

The subtitle is what I wrote in my layout notebook between the entry for April 24 and the next entry on - drum roll - September 16. On that day I managed to get the remaining cork roadbed sanded and ready to be painted prior to tracklaying, and did the initial cutting and fitting of half of the 3/16" cork sheet for the west (left) side of the yard.
Last weekend I managed to put in a fair bit of time in the trainroom, in between rounds of laundry, birthday parties, and painting swords that Fiona and Bryan picked up at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Laundry and painting are also basement activities, so I didn't have too far to travel. The cork for the west end of the yard is glued down, although I will probably trim it back a bit from the mainline, and most of the track for the long interchange/staging section is down as well. The two turnouts forming the lefthand side of the lower industrial area are in place although not yet wired or attached to their ground throws, and part of the rural industrial track is a soldered and wired sub-assembly awaiting installation.
In the second picture you can see the arrangement for the "remote" mechanism for one of the industrial section turnouts, with the wire throw rod running in a plastic tube under the tracks to the layout edge. Because of space considerations there will be a fair amount of this kind of engineering required for the yard, so this is serving as a good practice run for the larger task ahead.
Overall there is not a huge amount of visible progress, although I did get the interchange/staging track secured last night. However, the weekend was more important for getting me back in the practice of construction, and in figuring out how to divide larger tasks into sub-tasks that can be fit into the "here and there" moments into which the bulk of my spare time is divided.
I did achieve a sentimental milestone a couple of hours ago, when I attached a terminal strip I had used on my previous layout to the underside of the benchwork to hold one end of the bus wire for the interchange/staging track power. This is the first official incorporation of a first layout element into the new project.
Here's the updated Track Progress Diagram:
Until next time!

Nigel Farage has been criticised by the widower of murdered MP Jo Cox after he claimed the tragedy in Berlin - and events of a similar nature - will be the "legacy" of Angela Merkel.
The comments came after a migrant was detained over the Berlin incident in which at least 12 people died and 48 were injured when a lorry ploughed into a Christmas market.
Police believe the man, allegedly from Pakistan and named as "Naved B", arrived in Germany around one year ago, according to local media reports.
But Mr Farage, the former leader of Ukip, was accused of political point scoring after he posted on his Twitter account the day after the attack: "Terrible news in Berlin but no surprise. Events like these will be the Merkel legacy."
His comments provoked a backlash on social media with Brendan Cox replying: "Blaming politicians for the actions of extremists? That's a slippery slope Nigel."
Earlier, in response to the attack, Mr Cox had said "we must pull together to drive out hate in all forms". He continued: "Far right and extremists share same hate driven psychology, intolerance towards difference and tendency to violence. We must defeat both".
But in an extraordinary step the former Ukip leader then attacked Mr Cox for his comments. On LBC radio, Mr Farage said: "He would know more about extremists than me, Mr Cox – he backs organisations like Hope Not Hate, who masquerade as being lovely and peaceful but actually pursue violent and very undemocratic means."
"I'm sorry Mr Cox but it is about time people started to take responsibility for what has happened. Mrs Merkel has directly caused a whole number of social and terror problems in Germany. It's time we confronted that truth."
Last month the terrorist Thomas Mair, who repeatedly shot and stabbed Ms Cox during the attack before the EU referendum in June, was sentenced to prison for life. The court had heard how Mair shouted "This is for Britain" and "Britain First" during the attack.
Kenneth Roth, director of Human Rights Watch, said it was "important to remember" the attack was the "work of a criminal, not an ethnicity or religion."

Priceless Friendship
Friends come into your life,
always for a reason,
that may not be apparent,
like the change of seasons,
All you need to do,
is keep your eyes open,
and your heart all willing,
to soak in the emotion!
This poem is in honour of a dear friend who has always wanted a poem dedicated to him, so here goes…hope reading this lights up your face as much as your words light up mine!
The first time I saw you,
you were introducing yourself,
Daily Prompt: A Friend in Need
Finish this sentence: "My closest friend is…"
Photographers, artists, poets: show us FRIENDSHIP.
My closest friend is….
My guardian angel,
a ray of hope,
in the sea of danger,
A shoulder to cry on,
when overwhelmed,
a mentor, a guide,
at dead ends,
Her winsome smile,
lights up my face,
cheers me up,
in the gloomiest of days,
Her reassuring nod,
says 'I understand',
she doesn't need words
to say she cares.
She allows me
to be
who I am,
& yet makes me feel
like the perfect friend,
She has stood like a rock
in my most trying times,
protecting me,
like you would a child,
Her melodious voice
is like a balm to the soul,
it fills my heart,
makes it whole,
I don't know what
I would've done without her,
this poem's for you,
hope you like it
my dear!

Advocacy groups and attorneys had hoped a federal judge would block Gov. Rick Scott from interfering in the recount process in the pivotal U.S. Senate race, but that didn't happen, at least for now.
U.S. District Court Mark Walker decided not to take action in a misuse-of-power lawsuit, saying in an order that Scott "has not crossed the line" in words and actions that would require a formal recusal.
(The governor has already said he will not sit on the the Elections Canvassing Commission that certifies officials returns from the general election.)
"He has not suspended any election official. He has not interfered with the recount so far. He has even recused himself from the Elections Canvassing Commission," Walker said. "All plaintiffs have are statements of a candidate exceedingly close to a United States Senate seat. Imprudent they may be—unconstitutional they are not."
With Scott and Democrat U.S. Senator Bill Nelson in a tight race, the League of Women Voters of Florida and Common Cause Florida filed a federal lawsuit earlier this week, alleging that Scott's actions as a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat, had "evinced a misuse of his official power to advance his candidacy."
The lawsuit states that Scott continued to "use his authority as governor to seek to influence the outcome of the election in his favor, including…threatening and intimidating election workers by making unfounded allegations of fraud against election officials and political opponents and credibly threatening to deploy state law enforcement agents to investigate them."
But Judge Walker said:
"This Court recognizes the demarcation between typical campaign-trail puffery and the words and actions of a public official acting in an official capacity. While campaign-trail rhetoric is increasingly bombastic, imprudent, and not necessarily rooted in objective facts, there is a critical line between campaign rhetoric and that rhetoric transforming into state action that requires judicially imposed recusal.
When a public official acting in his official capacity crosses that line, he ventures into a thicket of actual or potential bias. Then, constitutional alarm bells ring. Here, Scott has toed the line between imprudent campaign-trail rhetoric and problematic state action. But he has not crossed the line."
Walker added: "The Constitution requires recusal from public officials when there is a serious, objective risk of bias. The candidate's statements offered here, though haphazard and reckless, do not rise to that level. "
At the same time, the judge said, "Scott should be on notice. Florida is entering its first-ever manual recount in which Scott is an interested party with ample power to meddle in the process. Scott's past statements occurred primarily when he wore his candidate hat." And Scott is required "to remain impartial in his gubernatorial capacity."
Walker added that the case is not closed "and future actions could demand further consideration."

Flinderspeld was a deep gnome who was forced into slavery by the drow.[1]
Flinderspeld hailed from Blingdenstone. He eventually came into the possession of Q'arlynd Melarn, who further controlled the gnome with a slave ring. While able to control Flinderspeld's mind and body, Q'arlynd was actually a fairly lenient master who never abused his slave to any serious degree. Eventually, Q'arlynd freed Flinderspeld and the gnome became a gem merchant relocating in Silverymoon.[1]

Each year we try to showcase something to get you in the holiday mood. This year we've got something special - Christmas Adventure - a festive map by DoubleUpGaming. It's the full package - it's got a resource pack, special mechanics, and even voice acting! Let's take a look…
Christmas Adventure starts off wonderfully - after you press the button to start in the lobby you're teleported to a cozy cottage in what I assume is Santa's village. Immediately you come into contact with the voice acting aspect of things as Saint Nicholas himself start talking to you and gives you, the lowly elf, a mission to save Christmas.
You start off and explore the village, which is strangely obsessed with melons. Exploring is rewarded with candy, the currency in this particular map, and the goal in this introductory first chapter is to fix a broken train by finding power sources. I won't go on, since the story is a big part of the experience, and you should experience it yourself. It is also accompanied by some pretty cool effects, so you have that to look forward to as well.
The map also includes a shop system that you access by stepping on one of the portals throughout the world. There you can purchase items to help you on your quest using candy. This encourages exploration and provides a nice progression system to the mod.
The resource pack included with the map fits it wonderfully - providing the world with an up-res to 64x and a nice fitting festive feel. It also allowed the authors to get a bit more creative with props, adding to the experience.

Only one thing is certain in the threat landscape: the uncertainty around the attacks, the techniques, the tactics, and the vectors. Exploit kits dominated the landscape a few years ago, but has become quiet. Ransomware tops the list of today, but what's in the store for the future? The trouble is, we don't know for sure. The threats that we're seeing today are almost certainly not the threats that we'll likely see tomorrow. So what do we do in order to protect ourselves from the unknown? We need to take a holistic approach that allows us to protect against anything that may come our way.
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection leverages 7 unique layers of detection techniques in what we call Multi-Vector Protection – a multi-vector approach protects against today and tomorrow's threats. The layers fall into two categories: rules-based and behavior-based. The rules-based layers leverage human-intelligence: the curated work of our talented threat researchers. Contrary to popular belief – signature approaches are not bad. Effectively implemented, they offer fast, accurate, and highly efficient protection against known threats with little risk to false-positives. The behavior-based technologies are signature-less techniques that address unknown malware. Altogether, these 7 layers address the attack chain – both pre and post-execution for both known and unknown threats.
It's critical to note that our remediation capabilities are included as part of Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection because we know we can't be 100% effective 100% of the time. So when something does get through, as soon as we know about it, we'll be able to find and thoroughly remove the infection.
What makes our approach work so well? It's driven by the best threat intelligence in the industry. Over the years, Malwarebytes has been established as the gold-standard in remediation. More than 500,000 downloads occur daily from both consumers and enterprises when their existing solutions fail and more than 3 million remediation events are processed daily. Malwarebytes has the only threat intelligence in the industry with the ability to "see" the latest successful threats. This provides us the insight to understand the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by the attackers, allowing us to a) validate our ability to detect the threats and b) stay ahead of the threats by understanding the trends before anyone else.
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection is the second solution to be offered on our new single, unified endpoint agent and delivered via our cloud-based management platform. This new platform eases deployment of Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection (as well as Malwarebytes Incident Response). Additionally, larger organizations benefit from effortless, unlimited scalability and quick time-to-value.
In addition to managing the deployment, the cloud management console also centrally manages security policy and threat visibility across all endpoints in your organization. The cloud platform also enables endpoint Asset Management by delivering dozens of endpoint system details such as network interfaces, storage devices, memory objects, installed software, software updates, startup programs, and more.
I encourage you all to learn more about this new solution and more importantly, give it a try!

The two top policy-makers in Canada's mortgage market don't seem to be on the same page—at least not with what they're feeding the public about the mortgage "stress test."
Observe these two statements about why the stress test—which is part of banking regulator OSFI's contentious "Guideline B-20″—was implemented:
Bill Morneau, Minister of Finance: "…We wanted to make sure that [home] prices were not escalating in some markets at a pace that was unsustainable." (Source)
Carolyn Rogers, Assistant Superintendent, OSFI: "B-20 was [not] designed to target escalating home prices." (Source)
Who do you believe?
"OSFI, the Department of Finance, the Bank of Canada, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, meet at least quarterly" to talk about policy, says OSFI. So you'd think the two departments would get their stories straight.
Why does this matter?
It seems that:
A) The government is confused about why it clamped down so aggressively on mortgages,
B) One of the two policy-makers hasn't told us the full truth.
Either way, it's reason for concern. What is potentially the most impactful mortgage regulation of all time—one with broad economic and social implications—should have a defined purpose that addresses a defined problem.
Otherwise, it comes across as politically driven seat-of-the-pants rule-making.
Because of B-20, market froth has dissipated in our largest cities (a good thing). But the jury is out because B-20 has also prevented borrowers—who would have previously qualified in 2017—from benefiting from home ownership, driven up rents, pushed people to non-prime lenders with higher mortgage rates, kept people from consolidating debt and lowering their interest rates, and hampered competition for renewers, among other things.
The apparent contradiction between Morneau and Rogers implies that B-20 may not have been sufficiently thought out. That doesn't exactly engender confidence in mortgage policy-making.

It doesn't surprise me at all. The Liberals have many self-inflicted issues they are juggling and with each passing day it just seems to get worse! The budget comes in March and I guess we'll just have to see what happens.
The Libs are one lie after another. Remember when they were going to balance the federal budget ? LoL. That was a good one.
The lack of fully thinking this through is on full display now. If the policy-makers can't cohesively explain their reasons for introducing sweeping and wide-reaching regulatory rules, then we rightfully should be questioning these changes. OSFI and the Department of Finance are now receiving loads of recommendations from key industry players on how to fix this flawed policy. Perhaps some small tweaks will be enough to make it work. The question is will they bother listening to anyone?
It's mind boggling to me that such drastic rules can be adopted with almost no debate in parliament. Who is holding these regulators accountable?

The South Belfast Ulster Unionist MLA Michael McGimpsey has welcomed today's confirmation by the Sports Minister that funding is now in place for the re-development of Windsor Park , that work is due to commence within a matter of months and that the completion date in September of next year.
Mr McGimpsey said;
"At Question Time today, in response to a question from my party colleague Tom Elliott, as to whether the funding is now in place to allow the redevelopment of Windsor Park to begin immediately, the Sports Minister stated that work is due to begin on the re-development of Windsor Park in a matter months and that barring any further legal challenges, it is due to be completed by September 2015.
"This is most welcome news indeed and will finally bring to an end what has been a very long-running saga and the cause of no little frustration.
"Northern Ireland needs a modern stadium which complies fully with FIFA and UEFA regulations and which will house Northern Ireland fans in the comfort which they deserve.
"Rugby has already redeveloped three sides of Ravenhill and the GAA are progressing with very ambitious plans for Casement Park. Football is the one major sport which we play internationally as Northern Ireland and we simply must not allow it to be left behind.
"I look forward to seeing work commence on the famous south Belfast venue and to seeing a new South Stand, new Railway stand and the refurbishment of the North and Kop stands to give Northern Ireland and the Green & White army a stadium that is fit for purpose."

Dog Anxiety In Older Dogs
Older dogs can develop anxiety due to a number of reasons. As they get older, they may find it harder to adapt to daily life. The main cause for anxiety is suffering and pain caused by joint problems like arthritis, or neurological diseases, which affect the nervous system.
Mobility problems might make your older dog cautious of being handled. Things like sight and hearing loss can be very distressing, causing dogs to rely on their owners. They begin losing their independence, so being away from their owners often causes separation anxiety in older dogs.
Changes in environment
This can also a cause anxiety in older dogs, who have gotten used to the same daily routine. Being taken out of one environment and put into a new one will make them feel very unsafe and insecure.
Dementia can be another reason for older dogs to become anxious. It's found in dogs as well as humans. If your dog develops dementia they will become very confused, daily routines will seem hard for them they will not have any sense of time. This often ruins their sleep pattern and toilet training. Consequently. They become very frustrated and restless.
A lack of exercise can cause your dog a lot of anxiety. Being closed and trapped indoors all day is not ideal for any dog. Senior dogs still need their exercise to maintain a healthy and balanced life.
As our dogs get older it is very important to provide them with the right food and enough exercise. Keeping your older dog socialised is very important too, so that they can keep their brain stimulated and enjoy being around other dogs.
Owners find it hard to cope
Owners can find it very stressful when their beloved elderly dog becomes anxious. They may find themselves limited doing normal things and scared to make changes (e.g. holidays, new pets and children may add stress to your older dog).
From experience we tend to become more sensitive ourselves as our dogs become old and ill we dread thinking about life without them , seeing them stressed and anxious can be heart breaking. All we can do is make our lovely old pals are as comfortable as possible, and support them in their old age.
What to do if your older dog develops anxiety.
If your dog is getting older and is showing signs of anxiety, it is advised to take a trip to the vet and examine your dog to eliminate any health conditions. If your dog is suffering from a medical condition, they may need treatment to make them feel more comfortable and relieve their symptoms.
Once you have ruled out any medical issues, you might want to look at the behavioural side of things. Getting a dog behaviourist to come and make an assessment on your dog's anxiety may help, they should be able to give you some advice and training tips.
There are many natural remedies and treatments available for dogs with anxiety. They range from natural oils, thunder jackets helping your dog feel secure again, to providing them with a calming peaceful place to relax. Put your dog in a quiet low lit room, use a blanket and wrap your dog up, this will work a similar way to the thunder jacket. Also using calming music to relax your dog until they fall asleep will also help.
A new stress reliever for your dog is a massage, there are several canine massage therapists throughout the country. Acupuncture has also been shown to help dogs suffering with anxiety. Acupuncture involves insertion of needles into body tissue where the nerves bundle and blood vessels come together. This promotes the body to heal itself and relieves any aches or pains your dog may be suffering from.
Another good therapy for dogs with anxiety is swimming or hydrotherapy. When dogs exercise, they release and flush toxins out of their body. Exercise helps distract the brain and keep the body busy reducing stress.

You're the forensic analyst on duty once the disk arrives. The post-mortem report did not come from the due procedure. Our research implies that the public lacks trust in the law enforcement force and doesn't think that formal institutions will address their grievances. The focus ought to be on the personality of the person. After you have described the role of writing such a letter, explain to him the specific context of the issue. Behind the questionnaire is a great intention. An effective incident response program should also incorporate cybersecurity insurance.
Effective leaders can manage both the day-to-day problems that press in on them and the larger picture. Your team is scrambling to react to the attack. On the opposite end, a security team could be entirely powerless in their vendor practice. You need to set realistic targets and work tirelessly alongside employees and managers to reduce the frequency and seriousness of injuries.
From time to time, you may be the sole vendor that exists to fix a customer issue. Sometimes your clients encounter a problem that's completely unprecedented. By default, the majority of the available services are disabled, but you can allow them by uncommenting the right line. Frequently, it's a person who's been with a company for over three decades. Some construction businesses have opted to create their SMS computer software application. Observing the norms and policies of an organization is extremely crucial for every single employee who works there.
The exported data are now imported into a graphing tool named ProcDOT. Query packs make it simple to categorize your queries and also permit you to keep a short and tidy config. After the query has recorded all the original USB devices from the very first time the query executes, it is only going to log devices that were added or taken out of the table since the previous execution. Samples will probably make some network communication. It's reasonable to anticipate a sales process is not going to finish every security questionnaire which arrives through manually.
Changes are essential to the configuration of INetSim to allow all the services needed for analysis. An unplanned change may be an emergency change or a significant shift. You wish to be sure they have a while to ask questions themselves about the corporation. As a consequence, response times increase.
You can refer to more examples of similar letters over the net and prepare that is best for your requirements. Respond and enable the customer to know the situation is being handled. Put, the individual you least suspect is generally the person who commits the crime.
There is a broad array of thought about how an interview ought to be performed. Technical skills may often be learned, many times at work. The details in the report imply that the OPCW at least seems to get done a critical job. Construction is among the most dangerous industry sectors. It's not possible to say when you need to start containment as every attack differs.
Failure to alert the head of the department may lead to termination from the job. Some problems are somewhat more complicated than others. The problem with the hotlines is they obfuscate information. Then there are the kinds of questions. Indeed, it's a systemic question and all engineers ought to be able to create a sense of experiments and their outcomes. Don't jump to high effort containment until you're feeling confident you have answers to the majority of the above mentioned.

Wisdom Teeth Removal in Enid OK
When Should I have my wisdom teeth removed?
By the age of 18, the average adult has 32 teeth; 16 teeth on the top and 16 teeth on the bottom. Each tooth in the mouth has a specific name and function. The teeth in the front of the mouth (incisors, canine, and bicuspid teeth) are ideal for grasping and biting food into smaller pieces. The back teeth (molar teeth) are used to grind food up into a consistency suitable for swallowing.
The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a mouth that holds only 28 teeth. These four other teeth are your third molars, also known as "wisdom teeth."
Why Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth, and positioned furthest to the back of the mouth. Because of their position, even erupted wisdom teeth are difficult to clean. Wisdom teeth collect large amounts of bacteria which then enters the bloodstream through the gums and travels throughout the body. This bacteria has been linked to heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure as well as other serious health problems. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary, whether they are erupted into the mouth or not, to help prevent this accumulation of harmful bacteria. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to successfully erupt.
These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many other problems. When they are partially erupted, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection. The result: swelling, stiffness, pain, and illness. The pressure from the erupting wisdom teeth may move other teeth and disrupt the orthodontic or natural alignment of teeth. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the impacted wisdom teeth, resulting in the destruction of the jawbone and healthy teeth. Removal of the offending impacted teeth usually resolves these problems. Early removal is recommended to avoid such future problems and to decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure.
The Wisdom Tooth Removal Oral Examination
With an oral examination and x-rays of the mouth, Dr. Bowman can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and predict if there are present or may be future problems. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment result in a superior outcome for the patient. Patients are generally first evaluated in the mid-teenage years by their dentist, orthodontist or by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
All outpatient surgery is performed under appropriate anesthesia to maximize patient comfort. Dr. Bowman has the training, license and experience to provide various types of anesthesia for patients to select the best alternative.
Need your wisdom teeth removed?
Contact our office today to schedule a Consultation!
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
In most cases, the removal of wisdom teeth is performed under local anesthesia, laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) or general anesthesia. These options, as well as the surgical risks (i.e., sensory nerve damage, sinus complications), will be discussed with you before the procedure is performed. Once the teeth are removed, the gum is sometimes sutured. To help control bleeding, bite down on the gauze placed in your mouth. You will rest under our supervision in the office until you are ready to be taken home. Upon discharge, your postoperative kit will include postoperative instructions, a prescription for pain medication, antibiotics, and a follow-up appointment in one week for suture removal. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at Facial Surgery Center Phone Number 580-242-2800.
Our services are provided in an environment of optimum safety that utilizes modern monitoring equipment and staff who are experienced in anesthesia techniques.

***UPDATE: The 40-year-old driver has died***
MONROE, MI – A serious injury traffic crash occurred on Tuesday October 16th, 2018, at approximately 10:18 AM, on northbound US-23, north of the 1 mile marker in Whiteford Township.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a 40 year old Dundee man was driving a black in color 2011 Dodge Ram pick-up northbound on US-23 in the left travel lane. A 2014 Volvo Semi tractor/ trailer, operated by a 32 year old South Sioux City, Nebraska man, was disabled along the left shoulder of northbound US-23.
The Dodge Ram pick-up struck the right rear corner of the semi trailer, causing significant damage to both vehicles and severely injuring the driver of the pick-up.
The driver of the semi tractor/ trailer received minor injuries during the crash.
The driver of the Dodge Ram pick-up was transported by air ambulance to St. Vincent's Hospital in Toledo, Ohio, where he was listed in critical condition. The driver of the semi tractor/ trailer was transported by Monroe Community Ambulance to Flower Hospital in Sylvania, Ohio for treatment.
It is unknown at this time if alcohol, excessive speed or telephone use is a factor in the crash. The driver of the Dodge Ram pick-up was wearing a safety belt at the time of the crash. The driver of the semi tractor/ trailer was not wearing a belt due to being stopped.
Assisting at the scene were Whiteford Township Fire Department, Summerfield Township Fire Department, LaSalle Township Fire Department, Monroe Community Ambulance and the St. Vincent's Hospital Air Ambulance.
The crash remains under investigation by Deputy Brian Francisco, Deputy Brian Quinn and Deputy Jon Cregar of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Traffic Services Division and Deputy William Broman of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Uniformed Services Division. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call 734-240-7715.

Aston Martin to build fresh Vantage after Sorensen crash
Aston Martin is working to build a new Vantage GTE for the Le Mans 24 Hours after Marco Sorensen's monster shunt during Sunday's official test day for the event.
The Aston Martin Racing team is aiming to have a brand new car ready for its scrutineering slot next Monday after the #95 second-generation GTE Pro class Vantage was heavily damaged in the accident.
AMR managing director John Gaw told Motorsport.com: "We have the test car we could use or we can build up a new one around a spare chassis, and that's what we've decided to do.
"It's preferable to have a fresh car for the race and we also want to keep the test car as a test car."
Gaw explained that it wouldn't be able to ascertain if the crashed chassis was a write-off until it arrives back in the UK.
All four corners were removed in the crash, which happened at the first of the flat-out kinks between the Mulsanne and Indianapolis corners towards the end of the morning session of the test day.
Sorensen, who shares the car with Nicki Thiim and Darren Turner, was able to exit the car unaided before being given a clean bill of health at the circuit medical centre.
The shunt was triggered when the Aston Martin came together with the SMP Racing Dallara-Gibson P217 driven by Harrison Newey, son of Formula 1 design legend Adrian.
It is understood that there was no footage of the incident, which happened when they were overtaking a GTE Am class Porsche, on the circuit's security cameras.
Race officials have penalised the two drivers for an "unsafe manoeuvre during overtaking" under the FIA International Sporting Code.
Both have been given suspended one-minute stop-go penalties for the race, which will not be applied unless there is a repeat infringement.
The second AMR GTE Pro entry continued running for the rest of the day and ended up more than five seconds off the pace.

Earlier this month, British New Wave trailblazer Elvis Costello gave an unforgettable Austin City Limits performance at the Moody Theater. With a career spanning the last few decades, Costello is an influential musical force and an idol to many in the industry. Though it was purely an acoustic set—much different from the "Pump It Up" performer's typical electric energy— it was outstanding nonetheless. Spanning over a dozen full length albums, Costello's vast discography never fails to impress.
The British rocker played a mix of fan favorites like "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes" and "Everyday I Write The Book", and we were thankfully there to witness it all. The highlight of the night, however, was when he performed "Alison" without a microphone—followed by a standing ovation from everyone in the crowd. Check out our photos from Elvis Costello's performance and make sure you're tracking him on Bandsintown so you don't miss his tour this fall!

REFURBISHED American Eagle AE-G22N 1.5HP #22 Commercial Stainless Steel Meat Grinder
American Eagle Food Machinery
Pro Restaurant Equipment Review
American Eagle meat grinders are some of the best quality meat grinders we have seen, especially for the price. We like them... a lot! Like it's smaller sibling, the AE-G12N, the #22 has the same stainless steel construction so you get all of the benefits, but it packs even more power and can handle even more meat! The #22 is a taller and heavier machine and the grinder head is a #22 size, we recommend the machine over the #12 if you are using the vegetable processor accessory (AE-VS12NH) The machine is definitely geared more towards the food service industry in terms of its design. Everything is made of stainless steel so it's very shiny and attractive. It also means that it's easy to clean. When you pick up the grinder head, you can tell how hefty it is. It's even heavier than the #12 which is already very durable. A standard forward reverse switch is a nice touch, but in our testing, the meat grinder whipped through a ton of meat without any hesitation, so we doubt you will really ever need to use the reverse mode. We ground about 10 lbs of meat in less than a minute, so it's about twice as fast as the #12. This machine is very fast and it can easily handle even more than what American Eagle specifies! It's an excellent upgrade if you need the additional processing capability and speed. We did not have any turkey or chicken with bone to test with, but the owner's manual states that the machine should be able to handle small bones. So even though it's a commercial restaurant grinder, all of you pet owners out there that make pet food or hunters will easily appreciate the power in this grinder! The grinder motor itself is very quiet. When we were using it, the motor made a low purring noise, even while we were feeding the meat through. It didn't appear to struggle at all. Lastly, although the manufacturer suggests exercising caution when putting the grinder head parts in the dishwasher, we decided to test the feeder pan, auger, grinder plates, knife, and grinder head in a dishwasher, and everything came out wonderfully, just like it did for the #12. We did not notice any rust spots forming or anything, but we did follow their suggestion to apply food grade silicone to the parts after washing. Is this worth the upgrade over the #12? It's about a 300 dollar difference on our website, but we highly suggest the upgrade if you are planning on processing more than just meat and are going to use the vegetable shredder accessory. The additional power and the extra inches in height allow for more clearance below the output chute of any accessory you plan to use without needing to place the motor on a stand or something else to raise the height. The AE-G22N is well worth the upgrade, but if you are on a budget, the AE-G12N can certainly serve your needs too. What's really great about this #22 grinder is that it's still designed with a #12 hub, so you can use the same accessories and attachments from both American Eagle and other manufacturers who make standard #12 hub accessories. It's not as common to see a #22 meat grinder that still has a standard #12 hub.
From the Manufacturer
American Eagle commercial meat grinders feature patented design, all-inclusive accessories and competitive pricing, making them the best value for food service professionals, hunters, butchers or home enthusiasts alike. Their exceptional reliability and attractive, compact designs make them ideal for open commercial kitchens, front-end meat operations, or a home counter top. All grinder head components (feed chamber, auger, grinder plates, knife), feeder pan, and motor housing are 100% stainless steel construction, making everything super easy to clean. A specially designed grinder head with rifled chamber walls and quick pass auger reduces food waste. The 22 grinder head combined with a 100% metal gear driven transmission and 1.5HP motor means this machine grinds even the toughest meat with ease! A permanently lubricated, sealed transmission with air cooled motor ensures food safety and years of trouble free service.

Bought meat grinder, and vegetable attachment about 2 months ago. All working good. may buy tenderizer next. Machine is very heavy.
This machine works well, however, it is horrible to clean. I've owned other grinders that with just very hot water, the pieces came right clean. Not so with this unit. The main unit wipes right off, but the attachments are another story. The inside of the grinding attachment and the tenderizer are rough cast and not even close to smooth. Food sticks like glue and it's difficult to get to it to scrub it off. I had to buy brushes to reach between blades of the tenderizer and to reach inside the grinder. I did find a liberal spray with cooking spray prior to use does help, though. The feed opening in the grinding attachment is very small in comparison to my other grinder. The tenderizer works great, if it just wasn't so hard to clean.
PRO RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT RESPONSE: Hello Tammy, thank you for your review. Some of our other customers have asked us for some cleaning tips and maybe this might help you too: The grinder head is made of stainless steel. Have you tried to put it in a dishwasher? As long as after washing you remove and dry immediately, this should work a bit better than just trying to rinse by hand. From what we have been told by American Eagle, the feed chute is specifically sized to prevent hands from entering since their meat grinder is meant to be used in a commercial food service operation and the safety standards are very high. A lot of other grinders have larger chutes and a plastic safety guard on the tray, but those tend to get lost often or not used in a restaurant setting which risks a safety incident. In our own testing, the chute size should not pose an issue as long as you cut your meat into strips that are small enough to fit into the chute. The machine is pretty fast and should handle grinding as fast as you can feed the meat if you first cut it down to size. Regarding the tenderizer, the manufacturer does recommend the cleaning method of using wire brushes to get in between the blades and hand washing. This was also confirmed in our own testing. We haven't found a meat tenderizer yet that doesn't require this type of cleaning method, maybe one of these days a manufacturer can come up with something better, but it might be a challenge simply because of the way a motorized meat tenderizer has to work. In the meantime, our only recommendation is to simply try to do all of your processing in large batches, this way you can at least clean the tenderizer only once instead of multiple times throughout the day. We hope this information is helpful. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any additional feedback or questions!

Text Fwd: KCTU invites government to the negotiation table
*Image source/ description *
Same as the article below
'Lim Seong-kyu, the chairman of Korea Confederation of Trade Union, briefs their suggestion to negotiation with government at the press conference in its headquarter, Yeongdeungpo district, Seoul on May 19.'
KCTU invites government to the negotiation table: While the Labor Ministry decides their course of action, Daejeon Police apply for arrest warrants for union officials in relation to the May 16 rally
Posted on : May.20,2009 10:57 KST
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU, Minju Nochong) has proposed talks with the government to discuss policies to overcome the economic crisis and pending labor issues, including the rights of specially-employed laborers and the firing of Korea Express drivers.
At a press conference held at a meeting room at its headquarters in Seoul's Yeongdeungpo district on Tuesday, the KCTU said it had sent a written request for talks to President Lee Myung-bak and was awaiting a concrete response. They said they are demanding that the government form a negotiating team of ministers from responsible ministries to participate in talks.
The request included demands for the introduction of a national safety net for the unemployed, the regularization and guarantee of rights of irregular workers, job protections and the guarantee of a minimum wage. In relation to recent labor issues, the KCTU also demanded the return to work of fired Korea Express drivers, the withdrawal of layoffs from Ssangyong Motors, and recognition of unions of specially-employed workers.
The KCTU said the government's measures to overcome the economic crisis have all been for the rich, and since the union has proposed concrete policy tasks, it calls on the government to come to talks. The KCTU added that It plans to put together a negotiating team composed of its chairman, executive officers and delegates from affiliated industrial unions and regional headquarters, and demands that a first round of talks take place on May 26. The KCTU said if the government refuses the offer, it will continue to struggle with the government and launch a general strike on June 10. Labor Ministry spokesman Lee Jae-heung said the government would respond after considering whether the KCTU's offer was genuine or simply offered in order to provide justification for a strike.
Meanwhile, Daejeon Daedeok Police Station said Tuesday it had applied for arrest warrants for seven KCTU officials, including Korean Transport Workers' Union (KCWTU) Chairman Kim Jong-in and KCTWU Headquarters Chief Kim Dal-sik. Police explained that they applied for the arrest warrants for the seven officials who had led the memorial rallies for late KCTWU Gwangju Chapter Chief Park Jong-tae in Daejeon on May 6, 9 and 16 because they had been asked several times to appear for questioning about the May 16 rally, but have failed to respond.

The climate chamber is divided into three parts:
A. a fixed part in which "outdoor conditions" can be simulated:
-20 until +65°C with adjustable relative humidity above 10°C;
B. a mobile part in which "indoor conditions" can be simulated:
+10 until +40°C and 20 to 90% relative humidity;
C. a movable intermediate part in which the test panel of ca. 1m70 by 1m70 can be built up.
The fixed and mobile part are independently air-conditioned. The movable intermediate part holds the building component under investigation, or is left open to generate a larger test room.
When a test panel is placed, the heat transport through the building component (e.g. window assembly) may then be measured, as well as the temperature gradient, local humidity level and air tightness.
A wide range of sensors (air and surface temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, heat flux and air pressure difference) is available for monitoring during test phase.
The test conditions in the climate chamber can be controlled via dynamic profiles in dedicated lab software, for example using weather data from the Belgian climate as input. An example of such input and the achieved conditions, is given in the graphic.
The walk-in climate chamber allows companies to optimize the design of their products (installations and/or components) during the development phase under a wide range of environmental conditions. These products can consist of building components (such as heat losses through multi-layered wall components) or installation components (such as heat pump efficiency tests).
Product design as well as performance assessment aiming at improving your product's technical performance (e.g. airtightness of window to wall connection) can be performed. The climate chamber also allows to verify measurement protocols (e.g. building infrared thermography) under extreme climatic conditions.
The research group Energy and Materials in Infrastructure and Buildings (EMIB) focuses on research in the field of infrastructure, buildings and heat applications wherein quality, durability and energy are integrated aspects. EMIB is a complementary team of researchers within the field of applied sciences: built environment and electro-mechanics. Within EMIB, the research domain Buildings and Installations: Retrofit and Design (BiRD) is the main user of the walk-in environmental chamber. BiRD focuses on the (re-)design and performance assessments to obtain a sustainable built environment, by applying an integral approach in both design and retrofitting of buildings and design and control of comfort systems and installations.

The nation laments being defeated by their enemies. They ask the LORD for victory over their enemies, like they experienced in the days of old.
For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm.
VERSE 1. We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
VERSE 2. You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
drove out the nations with your hand. It was through Joshua son of Nun that the LORD led the nation into the Promised Land and drove out the inhabitants.
VERSE 3. For they didn't get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
right hand. The Bible often mentions "the right hand" of God. That is a position of power and honor. We believe it refers to Jesus Christ. More verses about the right hand.
because you were favorable to them. Our victories are not from ourselves. Rather, they are from the LORD.
VERSE 4. You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!
You are my King. In those early days, the nation was still trusting the LORD as their king.
VERSE 5. Through you, will we push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread them under who rise up against us.
Through you. That is, with God's help. By his power.
will we push down our adversaries. That is, we will wipe out our enemies. We will overcome our haters. We will drive them back.
we will tread them under. That is, we will stomp them to dust. We will crush them under our feet. The Hebrew word is "buwc." It means to tread down, reject, trample down, desecrate, kick out.
who rise up against us. That is, our enemies. Those who hate us. Our adversaries. Our foes.
VERSE 6. For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
VERSE 7. But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
VERSE 8. In God we have made our boast all day long, we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
our boast all day long. A child of God might seem to be drunk on God. That's what people nicknamed the Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza: "The God-intoxicated man!" Oh that we Christians would live our lives in such a way as to merit being called drunk on God!
VERSE 9. But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don't go out with our armies.
VERSE 10. You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
make us turn back. For some people, their whole life has been a story of retreating from their enemies. But God can turn that around for them. This can be a time for victory!
VERSE 11. You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
VERSE 12. You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
VERSE 13. You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
You make us a reproach. Their defeat was humiliating.
VERSE 14. You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
VERSE 15. All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
VERSE 16. At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
VERSE 17. All this has come on us, yet we haven't forgotten you. We haven't been false to your covenant.
We haven't been false to your covenant. The nation had not strayed into idolatry.
VERSE 18. Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
VERSE 19. Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
VERSE 20. If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god;
VERSE 21. won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
VERSE 22. Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
VERSE 23. Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don't reject us forever.
Wake up! This reminds us of the Lord Jesus falling asleep in the boat:
Luke 8:23-24. But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water. 24 They came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying!" He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.
VERSE 24. Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
VERSE 25. For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.
VERSE 26. Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness' sake.

2D games are often overlooked in today's 3D rich world. Many forget that not all games looked and controlled like they do today. Dust: An Elysian Tail proves that this art-form has not died. It is alive and well and just as capable of providing entertaining gameplay and a heartfelt story as much as any big budget 3D game. What's amazing is that Dust was designed and programmed entirely by one man, Dean Dodrill; who also happens to be self-taught. While the game has its flaws, as all games do, you quickly forget them in favor of the fun elements of being in the world of Falana and guiding Dust on his quest of self-discovery.
The story of Dust is a beautiful heart-warming tale about a warrior who goes on a journey to discover his past and regain his memory. He is joined by Fidget, a flying squirrel-like creature who provides the game's comic relief and charm. Upon waking to discover he has no memory of himself, he also meets the sentient sword Ahrah. Ahrah is a talking sword that Dust uses for combat and listens to for advice on his warrior skills and regaining his lost past. Fidget also happens to be Ahrah's guardian who agrees to journey with Dust. The story is set in an immaculately hand-drawn world that offers some real "wow" moments as you progress into new vivid and colorful environments. The story of Dust is funny, endearing, light-hearted, silly, serious, dark, engaging, and most of all extremely fun.
I am a self-admitted fan of hack-n-slash games, as well as action RPGs, and platformers. Dust manages to combine some of the best elements of all of these games into one cohesive whole that never dwells on one element for too long. Dust mixes up its various elements at a good pace. While you will spend the majority of your time fighting, the combo-based system of swordplay is very engaging and fun to watch. Dust is at his best when you're surrounded by a horde of enemies and have to decide which attacks you want to use to clear them out. A personal favorite is using Fidget's projectiles in conjunction with Dust's spinning sword attack followed by launching enemies into the air and spinning through everything mid-air, cutting them down into the loot that falls back to the ground. Seriously, that never got old. The platforming is simple as well and reminds you that you need to think vertically, as well as horizontally.
None of the various elements of the game are very deep at their core. This may be off-putting to some fans who want a deep RPG system, but for what they are, they work extremely well. We have to remember; one man programmed and designed this game, not a team. That being the case, I'm surprised at just how deep Dodrill did make everything and how well it all works. Though the combo-based combat system isn't as deep as other hack-n-slash games, the various hits you make do add up on a counter making you feel like a very powerful warrior. Every fight and every conversation earns you xp which can then be spent leveling up basic abilities like health, defense, attack or Fidget. Again, it's not a deep RPG system, but it works.
The game does encourage exploration, but it also requires back-tracking. For some, this isn't a problem. However, I am not the biggest fan of having to do that on a regular basis, and with Dust you will eventually learn new abilities or receive items that are needed to gain access to previous areas you had to pass up due to your previous lack of those abilities. The rewards are just okay too. But for those who can't resist the call for more items to craft or sell, or more gold, you will want to retread old ground.
Each new area you progress to offers new enemies types and the game does a great job at mixing things up. You definitely don't want to shy away from new enemies types because with them also comes new xp gains which you will need in order to level up for later sections. The boss battles were a bit of a let-down and I was hoping each new one would offer more challenge. However, they were fairly easy to get past without much strategy.
Sound and Graphics:
The world of Dust is literally hand-painted by a single artist telling his vision and story with vivid colors and varied locales. Each environment is beautiful to behold. None of it feels like 2D maps glued together, but rather feels connected into a whole that represents a very alive world. The sound design is well done too and the voice-acting is great for its style.
The overall art style is obviously animated and yes, the characters are all furries. I was a little put off at first by the cute little anthropomorphic characters, however as I began to focus on the game itself and became involved in Dust's story, I quickly forgot about the speaking animals. As someone who is not at all a furry fandom fan, I can say that Dust leans more towards this as an art-style for its story and seems to have little if anything to do with the furry subculture, besides its aesthetic.
If you love beautiful hand-painted worlds, RPG elements, and combo based hack-n-slash swordplay, you will most certainly love Dust: An Elysian Tail. Though the flaws are there and at times somewhat apparent, the overall package is solid and will provide a great escape into a mysterious world. The story of Dust is often mistaken as a simple one. However, look deeper and you'll quickly find that it turns into a tale of life, death, genocide, and redemption. For an Xbox Live Arcade title that is also a one man programmed 2D game, it's an amazing achievement and often reminded me of why I enjoy playing games in the first place.
