N.C. Shrine Bowler Reggie Wilkins, of Boiling Springs Crest High, first committed to North Carolina, then recently switched to N.C. State. Now he may be up in the air again.
Wilkins, who quarterbacked Crest but will be a wide receiver in college and in the Shrine game, said during a water break during Tuesday's morning practice that he will take three more official visits after all. He's going to Louisville Jan. 8, to North Carolina on Jan.15 and to N.C. State on Jan. 22.
"Right now I'm committed to N.C. State," Wilkins said. But when asked if the visits meant he was still open to being recruited by other schools, he hedged his bets behind a big grin.
"I don't think I want to answer that one," he said. "Signing day is Feb. 3, so we'll find out then."
Then he darted back onto the practice field.

A beautiful structure
After having a hectic day while walking with heavy luggage, I finally reached the beautiful structure called Dharamshala cricket stadium. It is situated in the lap of hills. A domestic cricket was going on there which gives the feeling of cricket stadium other than just a tourist place. Remember if you are on your foot, you have to walk a lot to reach there. Better carry a water bottle and just camera. Avoid carrying your luggage or bag along with you. To experience the silence of the hills just sit and watch the architecture of the stadium. No RO water available just a tank of water. So better carry your own water bottle as you again have to walk a lot to reach nearby bus stop.

One of the most scenic stadium
The stadium is one of the most scenic one in the country and by virtue of being located in the cradle of the Dhauladhars part of the Himalayan range provides the stadium a breathtaking view. The pitch also responds better to the faster bowlers. The amenities provided to the players and the spectators are world class.

Spring is for flowers and sunshine and rainstorms and….taxes! There are two kinds of taxpayers: the Eager To Get This Over With taxpayer and the Filing My Taxes at Midnight on Tax Day taxpayer.
No matter which category you fall into, Painesville Credit Union has a few tried-and-true tips to get you through the tax filing stress.
1. Double check your Social Security Number.
"If your handwriting is unclear and an 8 looks like a 0 or a 4 looks like a 9, or if you superimpose two of the numbers, you might stumble into some trouble with your return," said Painesville Credit Union CEO Lori Guzzi. "Just go ahead and double check those numbers. It's worth the extra two seconds to make sure they're right."
2. Don't forget to list your charitable deductions. "Any donation you make under $500 is a normal deduction, but anything donated over the value of $500 requires an additional form," Guzzi said.
3. Double check your math. Even the smallest addition or subtraction error can derail your return. "Do the math three times," Guzzi said. "Just to make sure you're getting consistent answers."
4. Don't forget to report any freelance or side work on your return.
5. Direct deposit can expedite your return, but only if you give the government the correct account number. "Double check, double check, double check those account numbers!" Guzzi said.
6. Choose your filing status carefully. "File under that status that best suits your situation," Guzzi said. "You can file as single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, or widow or widower with a dependent."
7. And last but not least: Don't forget to sign your return. "The IRS considers your return incomplete without your signature," Guzzi said. "And unfortunately, people do forget to sign the bottom of the form, which can cause a delay in their return."

Inmarsat Provides Pacific Northwest, Bering Sea Coverage for DunlapMobile satellite communications company Inmarsat said it has partnered with satellite communications provider Network Innovations and maritime transportation provider Dunlap Towing to install Fleet One across its fleet of 12 vessels.
For Dunlap, the Dutch Harbor and Pacific Coast routes in Alaskan waters have traditionally been challenging and its existing service did not offer the reliability required to transmit important operating and safety reports, communicate back to shore or make critical inter-fleet voice calls, according to Inmarsat. Dunlap needed a service that could accommodate its coastal requirements and support its longer open water routes providing a reliable, guaranteed connection.
Luxembourg adopts space resources lawThe government of Luxembourg has passed a bill giving companies the rights to space resources they extract from asteroids or other celestial bodies.
The parliament of Luxembourg, a unicameral body known as the Chamber of Deputies, voted 55 to 2 in favor of the space resources law July 13. Passage of the bill means the act will become law on Aug. 1.
"Luxembourg is the first adopter in Europe of a legal and regulatory framework recognizing that space resources are capable of being owned by private companies," Étienne Schneider, deputy prime minister and minister of the economy, said in a statement. "The Grand Duchy thus reinforces its position as a European hub for the exploration and use of space resources."
Iridium Poised to Make Global Maritime Distress and Safety System History
Iridium® GMDSS is a key element of the Company's Iridium Certus(SM) multi-service strategyMCLEAN, Va., July 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:IRDM) announced today that two key milestones along the path to becoming the second recognized provider of Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) services have been reached. During its 98th session this past June, the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) adopted new performance standards for GMDSS equipment and approved amendments to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Treaty, which pave the way for Iridium to become a recognized GMDSS service provider. The key remaining step in the approval process is an IMO resolution recognizing Iridium as a certified GMDSS mobile satellite service provider. Iridium expects this will be completed during calendar year 2018, with Iridium GMDSS service to begin in 2020.
Soyuz launches 73 satellitesA Soyuz rocket successfully launched 73 satellites, including spacecraft for four companies' cubesat constellations, July 14.
The Soyuz-2.1a lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 2:36 a.m. Eastern. The rocket deployed the primary payload, the Kanopus-V-IK remote sensing satellite, about an hour after launch, followed by 72 smallsat secondary payloads over the next seven hours.
"We had a great launch and all the satellites separated as planned," Vsevolod Kryukovskiy, launch program director at Glavkosmos, said in an interview after the launch. "Everything is good."
Aerojet Rocketdyne Completes Hot-Fire Tests of Electric Propulsion SystemAerojet Rocketdyne successfully conducted a series of hot-fire tests on a Power Processing Unit (PPU) for an Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) designed to further the United States' commercial space capabilities as well as support NASA's plans for deep space exploration. The tests were conducted at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
"The PPU successfully demonstrated stable operation of the propulsion system and responded appropriately to all of our planned contingency scenarios," said Julie Van Kleeck, vice president of advanced space and launch programs and strategy at Aerojet Rocketdyne. "This is a critical step in providing advanced Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP), which is necessary for affordable cargo and logistics transportation in support of human missions to Mars."
On-orbit operations the next frontier for space, experts sayOperating while in orbit is the next big challenge for the space sector, be it manufacturing, assembly, satellite servicing, or debris removal, experts said Thursday. Speaking at a technology summit hosted by Defense One, Bhavya Lal, with the Institute for Defense Analysis at the Science and Technology Policy Institute, said focusing on the problems of the future will help the U.S. maintain its technological lead in space.
"One of the things we need to worry about is what are going to be the emerging technologies a decade from now so we can stay ahead of the Russia's and China's?" she said. "One potential technology that both the government and the private sector are starting to look at is on-orbit manufacturing, assembly, and servicing. I think it's an area we need to think about more, we need to bring the private sector in more, the government needs to think differently about how you construct and use an on-orbit platform in the case of war."
Satellite industry generated more than $260 billion in revenues in 2016, according to new reportThe Satellite Industry Association (SIA) released its annual report on the "State of the Satellite Industry" today with data on how the industry fared in 2016 compared with prior years. SIA President Tom Stroup said 2016 "was once again a positive year," though results for the four industry market segments varied widely. Global satellite manufacturing revenue dropped 13 percent, for example, while satellite ground equipment revenue grew 7 percent.
SIA released the 2017 report, the 20th in the series, at a press conference this morning in Washington, D.C. The report was prepared for SIA by Bryce Space and Technology. Overall, worldwide satellite industry revenue grew by two percent in 2016 to a new high of $261 billion, up from $255 billion in 2015.
Moon Express releases details of its lunar lander missionsMoon Express, a company developing commercial lunar landers, said July 12 its first mission is still on schedule to launch by the end of this year in a bid to win the Google Lunar X Prize.
The Florida-based company used an event on Capitol Hill to unveil the design of that lander, known as MX-1E, as well as plans for future missions that include larger landers and sample return spacecraft.
That spacecraft, capable of placing up to 30 kilograms of payload onto the lunar surface, is the building block of a "flexible, scalable and innovative exploration architecture that can help us open the moon as a frontier for humanity," said Moon Express Chief Executive Bob Richards.
NASA planning August release of Mars robotic exploration architectureWith time running out to start work on a 2022 Mars orbiter, a NASA official said July 10 the agency plans to have a "coherent Mars architecture" for future robotic Mars missions ready for presentation an at August committee meeting.
Michael Meyer, lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters, said that architecture is on track to be presented at a meeting in late August of a National Academies committee reviewing progress NASA has made implementing the planetary science decadal survey published in 2011.

So the Democrats recently proposed a good infrastructure bill. Here are some of the highlights (boldface mine):
On Tuesday, Democrats led by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) unveiled a proposal to spend $1 trillion over the next 10 years to repair old bridges and roads, expand bus and rail systems, modernize ports, highways, airports, schools, grids, and much, much more. Unlike Trump's plan, this would be accomplished through direct federal spending. The exact funding mechanisms are still unspecified, though in recent years, Democrats have rallied around corporate tax reform to pay for infrastructure…
The proposal — backed by Democratic Sens. Schumer, Tom Carper, Sherrod Brown, Bernie Sanders, Bill Nelson, Maria Cantwell, and Ron Wyden — steers away from new road construction and focuses more on repairing existing roads. It also has billions for transit, ports, the electric grid, and other projects. Here's a more precise breakdown:
•$210 billion to "repair crumbling roads and bridges." This would include an expansion of the Obama administration's TIGER grants, which offered money to cities trying to solve key environmental issues via transportation.
•$110 billion to upgrade local water and sewer systems by providing local communities and taxpayers with federal grants, rather than loans.
•$180 billion to replace and expand existing rail and bus systems.
•$75 billion to rebuild schools (these projects are typically financed through local property taxes).
•$70 billion to "modernize America's Ports, Airports, & Waterways."
•$20 billion to expand high-speed broadband in unserved and underserved areas.
•$100 billion in new funding for energy infrastructure and grid modernization. This would also include reforming tax incentives for renewable energy. Also: "A permanent incentive would be given for electricity generation, transportation fuels, and energy efficiency improvements."
•$200 billion for "a new Vital Infrastructure Projects program that will direct major federal investments to the most critical national projects."
•$20 billion in funding to "address critical infrastructure backlogs on Public Lands and in Indian country."
•$10 billion to "construct new Veterans Administration Hospitals & Extended Care Facilities for our nation's heroes, and upgrade Army National Guard Readiness Centers."
•$10 billion to "support the creation of New Innovative Financing tools aimed at unlocking private pools of capital and increasing infrastructure investment."
It proposes the creation of a new infrastructure finance entity ("I-Bank") that would unlock private pools of capital to provide low-cost loans or loan guarantees for infrastructure projects across a broad range of sectors, including transportation, energy, affordable housing, and water infrastructure.
…Schumer also said that Democrats "will not support tax credits for developers." In other words, they're happy to work with Trump — but on their terms, not his.
Clear and a lot more concise than what Clinton proposed. Importantly, it's a lot larger as well. So this is good, but Democrats should point out every chance they get that Trump's plan–which revolves around "$137 billion in tax breaks to private investors who want to finance toll roads, toll bridges, or other projects that generate their own revenue streams"–is nothing more than a "Toll Road Construction Act." Why? People hate toll roads–even more than they do gasoline taxes. The other thing is to not worry about deficits: $100 billion per year isn't a big deal compared to the gains we would get. Let Republicans worry about balancing budgets for a change (not that deficits per se should ever be a concern).
The Democratic plan is very good, now put some sizzle on that steak.

How do you create a truly modern maintenance program? Although many manufacturers are still using manual processes both on the plant floor and in asset maintenance, many more are beginning to adopt automation. With customers that are demanding higher quality at shorter delivery times, this automation has greatly increased productivity – in fact, a recent study by the Brookings Institute shows that manufacturing is now 47 percent more productive than 20 years ago. This is great news for the industry, but it also means that machines are more complicated to maintain than ever – meaning that your maintenance routine could use an update. The Changing Plant Floor Today's plant floors are increasingly high-tech. Single task machines are being phased out, and manual processes are now being replaced with automation programs, which offer many benefits for manufacturers. More technology and advanced machinery on the floor offers less part inaccuracies, less labor hours and higher part quality thanks to their efficiency and automation. Manufacturers today have more flexibility and cost-savings. In addition, the way that we approach maintenance is changing, too. Gone are the days of manually checking each asset and its parts my hand. Instead, automated sensors perform condition monitoring even when no workers are present. With many new machines that have Internet of Things (IoT) compatibility, we have new, high-tech approaches in our maintenance routines to ensure machine uptime – but it's all for nothing without a solid, well-organized team to support it all. Maintenance for the Modern Manufacturer Advanced machines come at a high cost, and even with IoT to support condition monitoring, a maintenance team that has the right approach to their work is the most powerful tool you have. It's not enough to simply upgrade machines if you don't have the maintenance plans and reliable building maintenance software to support them. In order to fully protect the investment of your machines, a plan for continuous improvement needs to be made that benefits both your assets and the people who maintain them. Having a plan for preventive maintenance (PM) is still a central part of asset management, but it's just the first step toward a truly modern manufacturing plan. At Dude Solutions, we've adopted a five-step process for making sure that your organization is working at peak efficiency – or, as we like to call it, the APPEM framework: Assess everything you currently have, from machines to software plus all the people and processes that connect them Prioritize based on your organization's key objectives Create a plan for success that supports your priorities Execute your plans Maintain with continuous improvement To read the full steps and develop your own plan for success, check out our guide: 5 Steps to Protect the Investment in Your Machines. download case study

The Porterhouse is quickly becoming my favourite pub in Dublin. Much to the bemusement of my friend I had somehow classed this place as just another Dublin pub (not that there's anything wrong with that, of course). Having been introduced to their beer menu, however, I am now singing a different tune.
Last night's pick was Rochford 8, a Trappist beer from Belgium. It was expensive, strong (9.2% – the 8 refers to an older measurement system) and described as possessing a very strong flavour. Already a fan of another Trappist brew, Chimay, I didn't have to be asked twice.
I really don't know what ingredients the monks use, nor are my tastebuds senstive enough to guess. Whatever's in there, this beer ends up like a soup. A very pleasant soup, at that. If I had to pick a word, I'd say it was fruity. But, like I say, I can't really tell.
I think mainstream beers have ruined my ability to distinguish one from another – and then when something like this comes along I'm just so delighted to have any taste at all that I'm not fussy!
However, my ignorance notwithstanding it's genuinely hard to imagine a better beer…except perhaps Rochford 10.
Or maybe just anything else from the Porterhouse menu.

Thompson Wheels for Planters Testimonials
See what Exapta customers have to say about Thompson Wheels for Planters.
"I especially noticed a difference on our non-irrigated ground that was hard and dry. The T-wheels were able to close the furrow, and the Keetons + Mojos helped get the seed into what little moisture was there."
"I love those Thompson wheels and wedges—they're wonderful. I have some clay soils along the river, and I've tried a bunch of different types of closing wheels, and nothing else comes close to closing the furrow. Fabulous."
"I planted double-crop corn into wheat stubble in extreme wet conditions using Thompson wheels—I shouldn't have been in the field, but the corn made an excellent stand! I planted in no-till and tilled ground, and had superb results in both. When I planted soybeans, I used OEM wheels and T-wheels—the stand was scarce where the OEM wheels were, but I had a better stand and higher emergence where the T-wheels had been."
"[A respected friend] convinced me to put T-wheels on our planter, and that paid off big time: WAAAAAY better stand on our corn on corn."
"I put on one row of the Thompson wheels a few years ago, beside the other rows with [competitor] closing wheels. I'm putting Thompson wheels on the rest of the rows now [2009]—I don't need a drag chain as they do a better job of consistently covering the seed."
"On my planter, I run two Thompson spoked closing wheels [per row] and get along great. Make sure you use Keeton seed firmers. I use the firmers with a Mojo Wire to stiffen them even more and really push the seed into the soil. After that, I like the fluffy crumbly dirt on top."
"Your Thompson wheels closed the seed trench very well. I have no complaints with them whatsoever."
"Your products help me make money. I did a trial with different spoked closing wheels and yours were by far the best wheels I've seen. I have Thompsons on my 16-row JD planter and am converting my 750 drill to them. They really make a difference in covering the seed and emergence. They break up the sidewall compaction and do a great job closing the seed trench. I appreciate you guys [Exapta]."
"Get rid of your cast wheels. We have had good luck with the Thompson wheels. We have them on both our 1890 and our 1770 and won't use anything else."
"We planted hundreds of acres of corn into killed CRP sod in the spring of 2010. The Thompson wheels and toe-out wedges did an excellent job of getting the furrow closed in those really tough conditions."
"I tried 2 rows of Thompson wheels and wedges, and the rest of the planter was [competitor] spike closing wheels. When I did stand counts, the two rows with Thompson wheels had 1,000 – 2,000 higher final populations than the other rows. It was easy to see which rows had the Thompson wheels." [Four years later, Thompsons & Mojos on all rows] "I think I have the best stands around of corn-on-corn in no-till."
"The Thompson wheels really worked well — just like you said. With the complete rebuild of the planter… including Keetons and Mojo Wires, all the plants came up at the same time….With the Thompson wheels, and everything you said, it's made a world of difference in how the planter performed—even the previous owner was really impressed with what I'd done with it. I'd think anyone using this setup would be overwhelmingly satisfied."
"The Thompson wheels were wonderful—Neatest seedbed I've ever accomplished…I attribute some of [my perfect stands] to the Thompson wheels. I have nothing but praise for them."
"The Thompson wheels are everything you said they were. Much better closing than the cast [OEM] closing wheels"
"The bearings in the Thompson wheels are superb. I never have to worry about them seizing up and having to replace them in the middle of planting, like I used to with OEM bearings."
"We are in the South and plant mostly cotton. I tried several [competitor] closing wheels on our planter this last summer [2018]. We had Thompson wheels on our planter and went back to those, as in our conditions we felt like they did the best job." [They have ran T-whls on their planter for many years, but were checking out some newer options.]
"I purchased Thompson Wheels off you last year and they have worked great."
"I've tried rubber closing wheels, cast closing wheels, and several other brands of spoked wheels on planters, and without a doubt, the Thompson wheels are the best for all of my conditions."
2010 comment: "We are sold on Thompson wheels. We've used them for 4 years on over 7,000 acres, no breakdowns. Planting beans in Missouri-River-bottom gumbo, we could never get much over 15 bu/a, no-till or full-till. However, when we installed the Thompson wheels, we have raised 40-bu beans every year with no-till. Wet or dry, they do a good job of covering the seed." [Feb 2014 update:] "The bearings last forever; we've never had one fail. Last spring was very wet. While full-till folks had to wait several days for the ground to dry, we went to the field and planted, all no-till. The Thompson wheels worked, and never balled up in wet soil conditions."
"I traded for a Kinze a couple of years ago; ran one rubber closing wheel and one [competitor spoked wheel] per row for a year and a half—about the only time I closed a slot was when it rained after I planted. I put Thompsons on this spring [2010] and had no problems closing."
"The Thompson wheels do just what you say. They close the furrow even though it's too wet to be out there. Our stands are excellent. I'm glad I tried them."
"I had 4 different brands of closing wheels for several years before going to the Exapta Thompson wheels. I like yours because of the thin blade—it goes into the soil easier for good crumbling of the sidewall. There's seldom any corn stalks getting stuck in them. It's a good closing unit. No maintenance needed in 9 years."
"I first tried Thompson wheels after running [competitor 'spikes'] several years. The Thompson wheels pull the soil in very nice and closed the trench. I have the toe-out wedges set at 3 degrees and had some mud adhesion, but didn't hurt the closing job at all. I've really liked them! I also took off the wavy coulters like Exapta recommends and added Thompsons to the entire planter. This season I had the most uniform emergence ever."
"I'm happy with the Thompson closing wheels and toe-out wedges—the best results I have seen versus other brands. I like the short teeth and the adjustable spring tension because with some of the soil I don't even need any pressure, just the weight of the wheels."
"The Thompson wheels have been one of the best additions to our planter as they do a great job closing the seed slot in both extremely dry and extremely wet conditions. Having them on is often the difference in whether I can plant or not when the weather turns wet. Previously, the inability to fully close the seed slot with the stock JD rubber closing often left me setting at the edge of the field waiting for things to dry out. The T-wheels enable me to keep planting in these same conditions. Thompson wheels dig in and give us excellent seed slot closure in both wet and dry conditions, regardless of the volume of crop residue on the surface. And when conditions are wet at planting time, sidewall compaction is largely eliminated when using the Thompson wheels as compared to the JD rubber closing wheels."
"A couple of years ago, my brother and myself both bought new planters. He put the [competitor cage-type] closing wheels on his, and I put the Thompson wheels on mine. Last year, they took the [competitor's] off and replaced them with Thompsons because they couldn't get them [competitor's] to close the furrow even with quite a lot of pressure. We are no-till and ours soils are king of tough."
"I like the size of the bearings and the self-cleaning action. They're very trouble-free."
"I really like the Thompson wheels—they didn't leave a rut and closed really well. They were very consistent in closing the furrow, and a big improvement over the cast closers…I'm very happy with them."
"The Thompson wheels worked exactly like you said they would. Nearly perfect closing in cotton and corn. We've had good service out of them. They're very trouble-free and well-made. They're the closest we've come to being able to plant in all conditions."
"I ran competitor's wheels and really liked how it almost tilled the soil and closed the trench so well, but I wanted to try the Thompson wheels on my planter beside them to see which ones performed better. At first, I was disappointed as they looked like they did a poor job of closing the furrow, but we later experienced a heavy rain and noticed the rows with the competitor wheels crusted the soil. Meanwhile the Thompson wheel rows emerged with no problem and had a much more consistent stand."

London's Most Expensive Buildings
by Fitzroy of London
London has some of the most real estate in the world, with average property prices up to twice as much as those in the rest of the country.
Here are some of the most expensive properties in London which we have found:
Buckingham Palace
Estimated Value - £1 Billion
Despite competition from some of the mansions built from more recently acquired wealth, the official London home of the Queen is still the world's most expensive residence, valued at a staggering £1 billion.
Built back in 1703 as a London a London townhouse for newly anointed Duke of Buckingham, the first royal to take up residence was Queen Victoria, who moved in around 1837. Since then, the palace has provided accommodation and principal workplace for whichever monarch has sat the throne.
With approximately 775 rooms to keep clean (including 1,514 doors and 760 windows) over 800 permanent members of staff are employed to tend to its upkeep, and it's no surprise that the grounds are home to the largest private garden in the city. The sprawling 40 acre site contains a helipad, lake, tennis court and over 350 types of wildflower.
18 Carlton Terrace House
Estimated Value - £250 Million
While not in the same league as the 10 figure properties that are among the world's most highly valued, 18 Carlton Terrace House on the outskirts of Trafalgar Square could well become the most expensive ever sold in the capital.
This six storey, 50,000 sq ft mansion was placed on the market as just over £250 million, and is said to be on sale on the mysterious 'grey market' – a secretive brochure is reportedly doing the rounds among the world's most wealthy, showing pictures of inside the Grade I listed regency mansion that aren't available to the general public. The secrecy is thought to be due to the security fears of the current owner.
30 St. Mary's Axe (The Gherkin)
Estimated Value - £630 million
The first non-residential property on the list is one of the most iconic on London's contemporary skyline. Built over a three year period between 2001 and 2004, the Gherkin is 251,000 sq ft of commercial office space situated right in the middle of the financial district.
One Hyde Park
Estimated Value - £1.15 Billion
The estimated value of this prestigious London address might be slightly misleading. One Hyde Park is actually a sprawling, luxurious residential complex in the heart of Knightsbridge that contains 86 separate apartments. The £1.15 billion figure is actually the cost to build the development, but with prices per apartment starting at around £20 million, the entire property is probably worth so much more than that now.

I heat embossed the trinket with silver embossing powder onto navy blue card stock and used my spellbinders to cut it out. I then added some more layers behind it using my new spellbinders that I picked up at Winners for $9.99! Sweet deal, so I got two. :)
I finished it by adding some sparkly ribbon and some gem flourishes which made me think of the snow being whipped around on a blustery day.
