Glad to know you are reading this right now. I am sure you really want to know types of nouns with examples. We cannot talk about types of nouns if we do not first talk about the concept of a noun itself. I have put together a post on what a noun is. It would be great if you can look up the post. But here, we discuss the different types of nouns that we have in the English language.
Now let us examine each of these types closely…
Proper Nouns
These can be found personal names, with or without a title such as President Buhari, George, Mr. Bala, Pastor Alfred, Dr. Sally, etc.
They also include globally recognised holidays, festivals, calendar items like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Argungu Festival, Osun Osogbo Festival, Good Friday, Christmas, Easter, etc. Days of the week, months of the year are all proper nouns.
Geographical names like continents (Africa, North America), countries (Nigeria, Ghana, Chad), states (Lagos, Kebbi, Ekiti, Ogun), lakes (Lake Victoria, Lake Chad), rivers (River Nile, River Benue, River Limpopo, seas (Red Sea, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Mediterranean Sea), oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian), Hills (Idanre Hills), Mountains (Everest, Kilimanjaro)
Educational institutions (University of Lagos, Federal Polytechnic, Ado, University of Ibadan), government agencies and institutions (Nigerian Railway Corporation, African Union, Nigerian Ports Authority, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission),
Newspaper outfits (Punch Newspapers, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Economist), banks and financial institutions (Guaranty Trust Bank, FirstBank, Access Bank, First Mortgage Bank),
Television outfits/stations (British Broadcasting Corporation-BBC, Cable Network News-CNN, Fox News, Al-Jazeera, Channels Television, etc.
Proper nouns can also be pre-modified such as:
'The Daily Sun',
The Suez Canal, etc.
They could also be post-modified e. g.
House of Lords
The House of Representatives
House of Assembly
House of Commons
Alexander the Great
Paul the Apostle
Jesus the Christ etc.
Proper nouns can be combined sometimes with common nouns, and when this happens the resulting expression is taken as a proper noun.
Examples: Trafalgar Square, Eagle Square, Stanford Bridge, Trans Amusement Park, etc.
Characteristics of Proper Nouns
- Their initial letters are usually capitalised.
- Though with exceptions, proper nouns usually do not admit articles.
- The usually do not admit the plural form except when used in a special sense, e. g. the Adebumitis will visit today.
Common Nouns
Common nouns are general nouns. In other words, they are common as the name goes. They are not names like proper nouns but they can be a label. For instance, 'boy' is a common noun which denotes a label used for a young male. Proper nouns, when they do not refer to a specific entity, can also be changed into common nouns.
Examples include: girl, baby, house, road, paper, sea, river, ocean, city, town, state, villa, pavilion, roof, street, close, quarters, etc. Common nouns are not usually capitalised like proper nouns except they begin a sentence. Common nouns further subdivide into Count (Countable) Nouns and Non-Count (Uncountable) Nouns.
Count (Countable) Nouns
These are nouns that we can count easily and have the countability nature. We can pluralise them and they can accommodate articles 'a' or 'an' before them. When you think of anything that you can count, it is most likely a count noun. Examples include: boy, child, girl, pen, pencil, book, television, car, bicycle, phones, cups, lorry, tanker, chair, table, baby, woman, man, father, mother, sister, mouse, animal, bird, insect, dog, etc.
Non-Count (Uncountable) Nouns
These are nouns that we cannot count or we usually do not count. Examples of these nouns are salt, water, sand, oil, cement, powder, etc. They cannot be pluralised either can they accommodate the articles 'a' or 'an' before them. However, we can count or pluralise them ONLY when we put them in measurable forms or when we consider them from the perspective of their containers. For example, we cannot count bread but when put in loaves, it becomes easier to count. So we can have five loaves of bread, seven tubers of yam, three gallons of oil, four sachets/bottles of water, three cups of garri, six bags of cement, one load of sand, four items of information, seven yards of cloth, etc.
Concrete/Material Nouns
These are nouns that are palpable; we can see, feel, taste and touch them. They are mostly objects. Examples include: stone, wood, bread, laptop, chalk, book, table, chair, block, car, house, pole, rug, engine, tyre, broom, apple, fruits, guava, oranges, rice, bread, yam, etc.
Abstract Nouns
From the name, these nouns express abstract concepts, feelings, ideas, emotions, feelings. In other words, they are concepts that we cannot see, touch, handle or taste. Examples include: courage, bravery, importance, wisdom, beauty, honesty, integrity, success, failure, etc. However, in some cases, we can feel some abstract nouns like: hunger, anger, pain, relief, joy, sorrow, sadness, happiness, gladness, fear, etc.
Collective Nouns
We use a collective noun to describe a group of people or things collectively as a whole or one entity. We can also use a collective noun as either a singular or a plural depending on the choice we make. Take for instance:
- The team plays regularly we see (the 'team' as an entity and it takes a singular verb 'plays')
- The team have departed the tournament (we see the 'team' as individual members and it takes a plural verb 'have').
More examples on the collective noun include: colony, crew, litter, drove, anthology, herd, flock, pride, orchestra, pack, troop, swarm, audience, cast, tribe, shoal, convocation, congregation, army, bench, troupe, host, company, etc. I came across an anonymous and interesting description of collective nouns found in the Journal of the American Medical Association; here it is: "Nouns of multitude (e.g., a pair of shoes, a gaggle of geese, a pride of lions)…: a rash of dermatologists, a hive of allergists, a scrub of interns, a chest of phthisiologists; or, a giggle of nurses, a flood of urologists, a pile of proctologists, an eyeful of ophthalmologists; or, a whiff of anesthesiologists, a staff of bacteriologists, a cast of orthopedic rheumatologists, a gargle of laryngologists." Read more on Collective Nouns from the posts below:
- List of Collective Nouns for Birds
- Collective Nouns for Fish, Reptiles and Amphibians
- Collective Nouns for Invertebrates (Insects and Molluscs)
- List of Collective Nouns for Animals
Verbal Nouns
We also refer to these types of nouns 'gerund'. Gerunds are verbs that end in the '-ing' suffix; that is, they are verbs in the progressive or continuous forms. Structurally, verbal nouns look like verbs, but they are actually nouns because their functions are similar to those of nouns. Examples include:
- Teaching is a noble profession
- Swimming is an all-embracing exercise
- Dancing is a relaxing entertainment
- Reading is good for the brain
- Writing can fetch you good money.
The verbal nouns in the examples above all serve as the subjects of the sentences. However, they can perform all the functions of a noun: as an object (I love teaching), as a complement of the subject (A good sport is swimming), as a complement of the preposition (I voted in favour of reading), etc.
Possessive Nouns
These types of nouns show possession. They indicate that a noun possesses something. Depending on the usage, they can also function as possessive adjectives. Examples:
- The man's car is old.
- My brother's wife is generous.
- St. James' School celebrates a decade of existence.
- We have submitted teachers' lists.
Nouns are important parts of speech and we need to know everything that has to do with them. Do share this post with your friends and get across to us on our Social Media Platforms.

Glendora Imports Specialists Since 1981
"I brought my Honda Civic for some major servicing and a major repair. I was so happy to have my car/baby back new and improved. I am so happy with my service and repair and the price. I am happy with the staff and all their advice and expertise. Always happy to have my car running well and getting me to where I need to be."
"I brought my car in without an appointment. It was diagnosed, parts ordered and repaired in 4 hours! I have been a customer since the late 1980s and have always had great service. I now live 60 miles away but will continue to use their service.
I have recommended them to several other people and they are always pleased with the service."
See what our fine customers have said about our work
"We once again are so thankful that the technicians under the very capable leadership of Chris Mahood are through in their work. We brought our truck in for a standard oil & lube and as they checked over the vehicle they found two other area of concern that needed attention. They were able to take off these other areas of concern in a timely manner with attention to detail and a great attitude. Thank you!"
"I love Glendora Imports.......like FOREVER!"
"Always great automotive work with awesome customer service!!!!"
"I can't say enough on how much we trust your work and your advice. We have brought all our cars to you, on their own 4 wheels or on the back of a truck. We even had one of our sons wait to get his truck fixed from up north because we felt they were taking advantage of him... Had him come for a weekend and you looked at it...fixed his problem... Which did not include some of the things on their list and saved him 100's of $$. We trust you with our cars before we would trust ANYONE!,,, I HAVE AIR!!!"
"I have been going here for over 20 years and the only complaint I have is when I moved to Temecula they did not move with me. Outstanding customer service and very knowledgeable repairmen. They will only repair what you need after checking out the entire car. Very satisfied customer."
"Great service and very high quality."
"As always, I had another great experience with Glendora Import Specialists. Our van was done on time and everything that was needed was explained to me in understandable terms and what my options were for each of the items that were needed. We love this place."

"We greatly appreciate the way Chris takes such good care of us every time we come in. She is a business person we can depend on and trust. Thanks, Chris and crew!!"

"Always excellent service, and job on my car is always good work. They even cleaned my battery at no charge. Have been here for years and will never go anywhere else. They explain in detail whatever it is I need to understand, and prices are always better than any car dealer and they are honest too."
"As in the past, Glendora Imports worked fast, accurate and friendly. They had my car completed and ready for pick-up within 2 hours."

"The people at GIS are friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, quick and fair--exactly what you would want when your car needs servicing."
"Great as always. It's such a relief to have a group of professionals to suggest and guide someone, who knows nothing about maintaining a car.

The inclusion of a Manufacturing Oriented Assist Desk†in the listing of top priorities was proof that EnergyCorp was encumbered with a help desk that was struggling to supply the scale†required for inside production assist. The emphasis on assist desk†versus the extra useful and at present pervasive service desk†was one other indication of an IT operational disconnect. Help desk descriptions normally refer to small IT retailers that need to track problem decision. There may be usually little built-in behavior enabled in assist desk expertise as the main focus is on tracking reactive options to points first recognized by the person community. Service desk options concentrate on an built-in method to problem, change and asset administration within an IT infrastructure, enabling proactive behaviors the place there is joint emphasis on expertise solutions and course of optimization.
Advocates of BSM usually use it to support a change from a culture which may be very technology-centered to a position which understands and focuses on enterprise objectives and benefits. Quite than supporting an internalized expertise view, there's a shift to recognize and help customer needs and the delivery of value to enterprise stakeholders together with shareholders. A BSM initiative typically underpins a shift in maturity for an IT division or service provider in direction of a more proactive and predictive operating model reasonably than the reactive and fireplace-preventing behavior which has been frequent in many IT operations. IT departments and Service Suppliers who attain this level of maturity usually report improved relationships with their prospects and enterprise colleagues, being recognized as 'Trusted Enterprise Partners' and 'Competent Suppliers' who ship added enterprise value fairly than being considered a commodity or 'Vital Evil'.

The artist releases the single, written by Kacey Musgraves, Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally. Musgraves says the song is about the generational differences between women:
I feel like women in my grandmother's generation were expected to put on a pretty face, and have dinner on the table, and not really show their crazy sides too much. Now, I feel like it's a little bit different. Sometimes you just have to let it out, or it'll just be bad news for everyone. I can relate to the song in that way.

WAM DfE Funded ProjectsPosted on: 01/02/2018
WAM have been successful in securing funding for 3 projects this month. The first two projects are linked. The first is to support local schools in challenging circumstances with their recruitment and the second is to support teachers in those same schools who are early in their career (NQTs and RQTs) with additional mentoring and development. The schools concerned are identified and allocated to us by the DfE in 'waves'. The third project is the largest, and is focused on the Bucks priority of improving outcomes in writing for disadvantaged pupils. We will be working with the National Literacy Trust to deliver that project. The schools involved are those who met the strict DfE criteria based on 2016 outcomes. We are very much looking forward to getting started.

10 Things You Have to Have In Your Car This Winter
Winter is in full swing here in Winterpeg, Manisnowba, but how do you prepare yourself for your next highway trip?
Hundreds of vehicle accidents occur on our highways each year. If you are planning a trip along the highway here is what you need to pack in your Winter Car Kit:
1) Winter Gear
Winter boots, a parka, and multiple sets of hats and mitts are important to staying warm. If you have a pair of snow pants be sure to pack those too.
2) Cell Phone and Battery Pack
Most people bring a cell phone on their drives but make sure you have a way to charge it. You can't call for help if your phone has died.
3) First Aid Kit
The need for a first aid kit is low, but if you ever need it you'll really need it and be glad you packed it.
4) Fire Supplies
Candles and matches will keep you warm and show that there is life in your vehicle. If you don't have a flashlight on your phone, you should pack an extra.
5) Road Hazard Signs
Road Hazard signs will make sure your vehicle gets noticed on the side of the road. You should also have your road hazard signs on.
6) Food
Water and nonperishable food will keep you nourished if you are stranded for a while.
7) Basic Vehicle Repair Equipment
Booster Cables, Bungee Cords, a Tow Strap and small toolkit will come in handy
8) Shovel
A shovel will get you out of a tough spot
9) Roadside Assistance Service
Most new vehicles come with roadside assistance. If yours has expired, auto services like CAA are worth the investment.
10) Basic Vehicle Requirements
Before you rush off don't forget to pack your snowbrush, extra antifreeze washer fluid, and road salt.
Keep your kit in a waterproof container with a lid in an easy to access spot.

The Rabies Threat
From the desk of Mogens Eliasen
Rabies has existed for millions of years, and it will most likely survive man on this Planet. It is a dreaded and feared disease with a mortality rate that is close to 100% for those that contract it: there are only 7 cases known of survivors - out of 40,000-60,000 cases in total in the World per year.
This provides strong ammunition for those who want to force dog owners to vaccinate their dogs, at their own expense. It is easy to argue this point because rabies is so dangerous; nobody can afford to gamble with this "serious risk"...
On the other side, there is a cost other than financial: the health problems caused by repeated rabies vaccinations are evident! And so is the lack of logic in the reasoning used by those who want the vaccinations to continue!
An increasing number of veterinarians begin to speak up and seriously question the value of the whole vaccination program, like expressed in this article:
What are the facts?
First, let's provide some basis or reference we can relate to. We talk about risk of death, and we need to associate a likelihood to that before we can assess it. So, let's first take a look at some other causes of death - and their likelihood, expressed in ppm/year (= "parts per million per year"), which is the average number of cases every year in a total population of 1 million "average" people.
(Source Olnhausen & Gann, Acta Chiropterologica, 6(1): 163168, 2004 - I added the red ones from other sources, for comparison.)
Various causes of death in the USA,
on an average yearly basis: Total of cases and likelihood
|Number of people killed by lightening strikes
0.3 ppm
|Death from dog attacks
(none of them causing rabies!)
0.07 ppm
|Deathly accidents with deer on roads
0.7 ppm
|Death by vending machines toppling on people
0.008 ppm
|Death by rabies from bats
0.004 ppm
|Death by car accidents
90 ppm
|Death by murder
(men only - it is about one third for women)
108 ppm
|Death by influenza or pneumonia
(for people older than 91 years)
11 ppm
Here is an overview of the sources of all known rabies cases in the USA over the past 30 years:
Distribution of origin
of human rabies cases in the USA:
|Raccoon bites
|Skunk bites
|Bat bites
|Fox bites
|No bite traceable
In North America and Europe together, the total number of rabies cases is less than 5 per year - and not a single one of them have been from dog bites the last 30 years!
In all of the USA's history there are no records of rabies being transferred to people through bites from dogs that are kept as pets. There were a total of 32 cases of rabies in the USA from 1980 to 1996. In 12 of these 32 cases the diagnosis was established only after death. In 7 cases no exposition was known. 21 of the 32 deaths were due to the bat-rabies virus. Only in one of these 21 cases a clearly defined bat bite occurred. Not a single case was related to bites from dogs.
So, this just shows how effective the vaccination programs are, doesn't it?
Wrong. This might have been the case if there had been a lot of rabies in the USA before the vaccine hysteria started in the seventies, but that is not the case.... The level was around 100 cases per year at the beginning of the century, and it dropped below 10 during WW II, and has remained down there, continuously dropping, until the huge-scale canine vaccination programs were introduced at a time when human deaths from rabies from dog bites in the USA were already down at zero....
This is in despite of the fact that about 4 million cases of dog bites are medically treated every year, and despite also of the fact that stats tell us that maximum 95% of all dogs in the USA are vaccinated against rabies...
Let us do a little math on that: The 5% unvaccinated dogs of the 4 million dogs that bit people so badly that these people went to see a doctor represent a total of 20,000. Over 30 years, this makes 600,000. This makes the risk of contracting rabies from a dog that is unvaccinated go down below 2 ppm. It could be thousands of times less, but it cannot be any larger. The risk of getting murdered, in the USA, is about 108 ppm for men, just for comparison. The risk of getting killed in a car accident in Canada or Australia is about 30 ppm - at least fifteen times larger.
And now the $10,000 question: If we seriously consider 32 human deaths over 16 years a serious problem we should protect ourselves against, then why are we not vaccinating humans against rabies? The threat is obviously mainly from bats, not from dogs, so vaccinating our dogs in order to protect ourselves is utterly, completely, definitely meaningless!
Answer: The estimated cost of this prevention: $180,000,000, minimum - other estimates say $3,000,000,000 (three billion dollars) per year...
You see, when we talk about people, the government is concerned about the cost - because this involves everybody - so it will seriously impact elections. For dog owners, it is different. They constitute a minority that will never make a noticeable difference on an election day - so forcing them to pay costs nothing, politically...
But there are more reasons...
Do the rabies vaccines work?
Well, the unpleasant truth is that we really do not know...
Yes, lots of people, including doctors and the pharmaceutical industry, will want us to believe that they work. But the unpleasant fact remains that vaccines are marketed and approved by government for marketing without ever being seriously tested!
Oh, yeah, the vaccine manufacturers have tested that the vaccine does indeed cause titers to develop in most of the tested individuals, generally aiming at 95% or better. Just too bad that we do not know how the development of titers relates to the overall immune protection an individual has! It is a fact that titers often reduce their concentration with time, when the body is not exposed to the disease. But they quickly come back when exposed!
In the specific case of rabies, you can find more about this from this web page on the site of Vaccination Liberation: http://www.vaclib.org/intro/rabies.htm. The conclusion of that article is, with perfectly correct use of logic, that there is no proof that the vaccines work - and no proof either that they don't. A very important point that is made is this: it takes far more than exposure to the virus to contract the disease! For the virus to do damage to the body, the body must be in bad health with a compromised immune system and then be exposed to the virus. The unpleasant dilemma here is that vaccination will weaken the immune system and thus promote the disease (or other diseases) instead of preventing it. It remains a fact that this thesis cannot be proven or disproved by the existing data!
What are the known side effects?
For dogs, we have very poor data about the details. We know from Catherine O'Driscoll's Canine Health Consensus that over 70% of all dogs have a reason to visit the vet within 3 months from being vaccinated - if the vaccine had nothing to do with that, the number should be 25%, not over 70%!
But we do have some data for humans:
Allergic reactions are reported mostly after booster doses of rabies vaccines (CDC, 1984; Dreesen et al., 1986). The overall incidence was 11 per 10,000 vaccines (0,11%), but rose to 6% after boosters (Fishbein et al., 1993).
This gives some serious clue as to why we have so many dogs with allergies. A rise from 0.11% to 6% represents a 50-fold increase in the likelihood of serious damage! Using the same math on a second booster (= third vaccination) will make development of allergic reactions virtually inevitable! Now, this is very bold math - and not scientifically sustainable. But just a doubling or a tripling of the likelihood with the second booster will be more than sufficient to represent a very serious concern - and a very good explanation of all the allergies we see nowadays in our dogs.
On top of this, some 80% of all people being vaccinated report minor to severe side effects as itchiness and irritation on the vaccinated spot, drowsiness and nausea, headache, breathing problems, etc.
Unfortunately, no research has ever been done to show any possible long-term effects of the vaccines for humans!
Severe and fatal reactions
There are some very interesting data available from WHO on their web page on vaccination safety.
The information is quite technical of nature, but it is a relevant reference for drawing some important conclusions. Let me extract the essence here for you, keeping in mind that this is still human vaccine we talk about:
A patient may suffer from serious and often fatal illness after nerve tissue vaccine - which is what rabies vaccine is. All types of vaccines containing adult mammalian nervous tissues (which all rabies vaccine does) show similar abilities to induce neuroparalytic reactions (= causing nerve lameness, which can lead to lameness or death, subject to which nerves it will affect). The neuroparalytic reactions usually develop between the 13th and the 15th days of treatment and may assume one of the following three forms:
The incidence of these reactions varies widely from 0.0011% to 0.44% and is definitely lower in people receiving properly manufactured vaccine of newborn rodent brain (which is too expensive for dog vaccine...)
So, what can we get from these numbers?
The most common of three cases is likely to cover about 50% of the total. Those 50% gave us a mortality rate of "maximum 5%". That's an overall contribution of 2.5% mortality. The more severe form had a 30% mortality. If this form covers about 10% of the total cases, this will give us an overall contribution of 3% to the mortality. Because this form could cover up to about 40% of the cases (but not more, because then it would become the largest contributor of the three), this contribution could be as high as 12%.
Adding those two mortalities of 2.5% and 3% gives us about 5.5%, with a possible maximum around 15%, if the 3% truly becomes 12%.
This is all restricted to the case of getting these neurologic reactions from a vaccination.
As already stated, the likelihood of that ranges from 0.0011% and up to 0.44%. This gives us an overall death risk from receiving a rabies vaccination that is maximum 0.44% * 5.5% = 0.022% = 242 ppm, and possibly only 0.0011% * 5.5% = 0.6 ppm.
What is the uncertainty on these numbers? Well, we could be easily be off by a factor of 2 or 3 - so our risk could be anything between 0.2 ppm and 700 ppm...
Is this acceptable?
That certainly depends... If we consider that rabies is deadly if contracted and not dealt with prior to the onset of clinical symptoms, then a death risk of 0.2-700 ppm from vaccination is a very attractive bet indeed! But the risk of contracting rabies depends on two factors that dramatically reduce that apparently "certain death sentence":
First, what is the chance of getting bitten, in the first place? Next, what is the chance of the disease developing if you do get bitten?
Let's take the worst case known: India. India has some 600,000,000 people - and about 30,000 die every year because of rabies. That gives you odds of 600,000,000:30,000 = 20,000:1 of not contracting the disease - or 1/20,000 = 50 ppm for dying from it.
Folks, this is less that the risk of getting killed in traffic in the USA! And it is one third of the risk of getting murdered in the USA.... And worse yet: with the vaccine having a risk that could be more than 10 times larger, vaccination is not at all a proven secure way of dealing with the problem... Sure, the vaccination could also be some 250 times safer - but reality is that we do not know!
Now, for people who are extraordinarily exposed to the possibility of getting bitten by rabid animals, vaccination might be a diligent choice. But, as you see, it depends a lot on what the likelihood of getting bitten is! And it must be at least 100 times larger than average before vaccination becomes an obvious choice...
What can we conclude for dogs from this?
First of all: it will be naive to expect that dog vaccines are made safer (and more expensive) than human vaccines. The worst case scenario of negative side effects of the human vaccine is therefore a realistic minimum for the canine vaccine...
This does not speak in favor of vaccinating your dog... unless your dog is extraordinarily exposed to possible contact with wild animals that could transfer the disease through biting.
Besides, there is zero scientific evidence, not even anecdotal, that dogs that have been vaccinated cannot transfer the disease to a human.... In other words: we do not know if vaccinating our dogs does anything whatsoever to protect people! A vaccinated dog could, in principle, very well transfer the virus to a human as a non-vaccinated dog could!
On this basis, to create a legal requirement for dog owners that they must vaccinate their dogs every year or every third year is nothing but illegitimate misuse of political power; there is no justification for tolerating that kind of power abuse in a democratic society that values human rights and personal freedom of choice.
The threat is not rabies. The threat is the law makers and commercial interests that want to use fear of rabies to strip us from our constitutional rights to make our own personal choices.
What you can do?
Thanks for asking. Donate any amount you planned to use for vaccination to THE RABIES CHALLENGE FUND, c/o Hemopet, 11330 Markon Drive, Garden Grove, CA 92841.

What's New
MapSource Files
|Posted on April 8, 2012 at 3:40 PM
There seem to be some probems with trying to open the MapSource (gdb) files through the website.
The only way to open files is to right click on the MapSource file, save it to a location on your hard drive and open it using the Garmin MapSource programme. Alternatively once you have saved the file, locate the file on your hard drive, right click and choose the application with which to open the files which will be the MapSourcve programme and then check the box which asks if you want to use this programme as default to open all such files.
As soon as I have worked out how to return to the old way of openning the files directly using MapSource I'll advise.

It was brighter and closer than a star and had red and green lights. But it stayed in the same general area. I did not notice any sound.Looking through binoculars, I thought that I saw two.It seemed to be hovering and slowly moving different directions, presenting different shapes. Once it appeared to be a vertical disc. One it appeared to have 2 bright white "wings," positioned similar to an airplane when it is dipping a wing to turn. Once it appeared to be emitting bright white streams of particles from underneath.As it started to move NW, it no longer was bright white but looked more orange. I phone the sheriff's office and was told that they would have someone in the area take a look. When I looked after phoning, it was further away and not bright white so it was not as noticeable but still visible. It was visible for more than an hour.

Their Twitter avatar, since at least October 22nd 2014, features a man pushing what appears to be an eye or a record up an incline. This is perhaps a depiction of the Greek Myth of Sisyphus, who was forced to push a boulder up a hill everyday, only to have it roll back down.
This perhaps relates to the idea of nihilism, as Sisyphus' actions have no meaning.
The eye(?) in the logo and the reference to Greek Mythology perhaps suggests a relation to Digital Haunt.

(93)Start a High Protein Soy Based Extruded Floating Fish Feed
Good response
Easy digestion
Traditional feeding
The coastal districts of Andra Pradesh are now witnessing a new method in fish feeding.
Fishes are being fed with the extruded floating feeds replacing the traditional method of feeding with the raw materials .
Bhimavaram, Gudivada, Kaikaluru, Akivedu are now experiencing a renewed activity as farmers are experiencing the benefits of extruded floating fish feed.
Good response
"There is a lot of optimism among the farmers and they are willing to try the new methods of fish farming for fishes such as Rohu, Catla, Pangasius and also new varieties such as Tilapia and sea bass," says Mr. S. Amalraaj, Indian Representative for Muyang company in Chennai.
Aquatic animals cannot digest starch effectively resulting in excessive excrement which causes physiological problems such as excessive gas, bloating diarrhoea and these apart, from affecting the growth of the fish also lead to water pollution.
Easy digestion
The extrusion which is a high temperature and short duration process cooks the materials killing the germs and pathogens and makes the feed easily digestible.
The response from farmers is encouraging as the use of extruded floating fish feed comes with a host of advantages in terms of digestion ,growth, water protection, zero water pollution , optimized labour usage and zero wastage of raw materials
In the traditional method of fish farming, a mixture of de-oiled cakes/ or rice bran is used for feeding the fishes.
The mixture normally settles down at the pond bottom causes water pollution. There is also a lot of wastage which otherwise could have been used for other applications
Since the raw materials are not formulated well, the growth of the fish takes longer duration
of time involving higher feed conversion ratio.
Traditional feeding
For traditional feeding about 4-5 kgs of raw materials is required to produce 1 kg of fish. Whereas through extruded feed one requires about 1.2 kg to produce 1 ktg of fish
Extruded feed is much more safe, because fed ingredients can be pasteurized or sterilized during feed extrusion operation, thus reducing the effects of feed on the health of aquatic animals and water quality.
feed-based technologies in practice in some of the Asian countries have shown beyond doubt that soya-based fish feeds have delivered immense commercial benefits.
The work done so far in India has resulted in the country emerging as a significant producer of soya-based extruded floating feeds and sinking pellets for fish. "Indian entrepreneurs have invested in imported extrusion machinery to produce floating fish feeds," said Dr Vijay Anand, technical director of ASA's Asia subcontinent aquaculture programme.
Currently, there are as many as seven feed mills with installed capacity of 72 tonnes an hour which is set to soon expand to 203 tonnes an hour.
Soyabean meal is the main source of protein in the formulations and the incorporation levels are in the 35-45 per cent range. Other ingredients used include rice-bran, broken rice, wheat bran, wheat flour, corn gluten meal and copra meal.
Conceding that feed is only a part of aquaculture value chain, the aquaculture industry needs species diversification — in addition to the current carp and Pangasius — improved hatchery technology, refinement of farming system, diversification of farming system and improved fish marketing for better consumer acceptance, Dr Cremer said.
Earlier in the day, this correspondent was witness to harvesting of a record 20,000 kg of fish — each weighing one kg on an average — by renowned feed-makers Growel Feeds from a leased pond near Gudivada. The fish were fed soya-based feed.
India's fish production is approximately 8 million tonnes and the fisheries sector provides employment to about 15 million persons. Given that we have 7,000-km-long coastline and the biodiversity, the potential offered by fisheries sector is immense.

react-hooks-testing-library exports the following methods:
function renderHook(callback: function(props?: any): any,options?: RenderHookOptions): RenderHookResult
Renders a test component that will call the provided
callback, including any hooks it calls, every
time it renders.
renderHook function accepts the following arguments:
The function that is called each
render of the test component. This function should call one or
more hooks for testing.
props passed into the callback will be the
initialProps provided in the
options to
renderHook, unless new props are provided by a subsequent
rerender call.
options (Optional)
An options object to modify the execution of the
callback function. See the
renderHook Options section for more details.
renderHook Options
renderHook function accepts the following options as the second parameter:
The initial values to pass as
props to the
callback function of
A React component to wrap the test component in when rendering. This is usually used to add context
providers from
React.createContext for the hook to access with
initialProps and
props subsequently set by
rerender will be provided to the wrapper.
renderHook Result
renderHook function returns an object that has the following properties:
{current: any,error: Error}
current value or the
result will reflect whatever is returned from the
callback passed to
renderHook. Any thrown values will be reflected in the
error value of the
function rerender(newProps?: any): void
A function to rerender the test component, causing any hooks to be recalculated. If
newProps are
passed, they will replace the
callback function's
initialProps for subsequent rerenders.
function unmount(): void
A function to unmount the test component. This is commonly used to trigger cleanup effects for
useEffect hooks.
Utilities to assist with testing asynchronous behaviour. See the Async Utils section for more details.
This is the same
act function that is exported by
function cleanup: Promise<void>
Unmounts any rendered hooks rendered with
renderHook, ensuring all effects have been flushed.
Please note that this is done automatically if the testing framework you're using supports the
afterEachglobal (like Jest, mocha and Jasmine). If not, you will need to do manual cleanups after each test.
cleanup function should be called after each test to ensure that previously rendered hooks
will not have any unintended side-effects on the following tests.
Skipping Auto-Cleanup
@testing-library/react-hooks/dont-cleanup-after-each.js in test setup files will disable
the auto-cleanup feature.
For example, in Jest this can be added to your Jest config:
module.exports = {setupFilesAfterEnv: ['@testing-library/react-hooks/dont-cleanup-after-each.js'// other setup files]}
Alternatively, you can change your test to import from
@testing-library/react-hooks/pure instead
of the regular imports.
- import { renderHook, cleanup, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks'+ import { renderHook, cleanup, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks/pure'
If neither of these approaches are suitable, setting the
RHTL_SKIP_AUTO_CLEANUP environment
variable to
true before importing
@testing-library/react-hooks will also disable this feature.
Async Utilities
function waitForNextUpdate(options?: WaitOptions): Promise<void>
Returns a
Promise that resolves the next time the hook renders, commonly when state is updated as
the result of an asynchronous update.
See the
wait Options section for more details on the available
function wait(callback: function(): boolean|void, options?: WaitOptions): Promise<void>
Returns a
Promise that resolves if the provided callback executes without exception and returns a
truthy or
undefined value. It is safe to use the
result of
in the callback to perform assertion or to test values.
The callback is tested after each render of the hook. By default, errors raised from the callback
will be suppressed (
suppressErrors = true).
See the
wait Options section for more details on the available
function waitForValueToChange(selector: function(): any, options?: WaitOptions): Promise<void>
Returns a
Promise that resolves if the value returned from the provided selector changes. It
expected that the
result of
renderHook to select the value for
The value is selected for comparison after each render of the hook. By default, errors raised from
selecting the value will not be suppressed (
suppressErrors = false).
See the
wait Options section for more details on the available
wait Options
The async utilities accept the following options:
The maximum amount of time in milliseconds (ms) to wait. By default, no timeout is applied.
If this option is set to
true, any errors that occur while waiting are treated as a failed check.
If this option is set to
false, any errors that occur while waiting cause the promise to be
rejected. Please refer to the utility descriptions for the default
values of this option (if applicable).

A Fun-Filled Event
It was a splendid event. Electro-acoustic transducer was therefore excited regarding it. He and Laura organized his fortieth birthday celebration with Elan and Panache. All his old-fashioned and university pals were invited. I used to be invited as a result of he and that i was at the University along. I likable the place they rented for hosting the event, a spot close to Sorbonne within the Latin Quarters. The place was an example of Parisian culture and attribute. Most significant, it absolutely was compatible with birthday man, Mike's intellectual bent of mind and tastes. The bash was wondrous. We have a tendency to commemorated and regaled ourselves through the evening. The usually French fare, consisting of fish stew, pastry, lamb quiche, pork cooked, foie gras, and cassoulet beside truffles and different desserts, can ne'er be forgotten by any people United Nations agency attended his birthday event. I even bear in mind electro-acoustic transducer turning into childishly inquisitive once he was gapped his birthday presents. Electro-acoustic transducer received all styles of birthday gifts, from books, pens, and watches to shirts, trousers, ties, bottles of champagne, and cash. I gave him Jean Christophe by Romain Rolland. He was intending to purchase the novel for a protracted time. I knew of this reality from his adult female, Laura, and then I bought and given the mammoth novel to him. Laura took myriad footage of the party together with her photographic camera so as to immortalize the event.
An Event over that we've No management
Even though we have a tendency to knew that it absolutely was inevitable, the event of Jacques's death still managed to discompose the United States. There was nothing that his adult female, Marie, his mother, might do. The doctors had told the United States that it absolutely was everywhere the instant the tumors were detected in Jacques's brain. If Jacques's days were numbered, mine had assumed a pattern. Each morning i'd head to workplace and each evening i'd visit Jacques at the hospital before I came home. There was no modification to or respite from this routine. The sheer monotony of it created American state desire a machine, as if i'd continue with this toil even once Jacques's death. His mother, his adult female and that i were constantly on tenterhooks, perpetually during a state of tension, looking forward to him to die. Yes, looking forward to the event of his death as a result of there was no likelihood in the least for him to recover. Death would finish his suffering, in the least events.
More: Healthy Life Style is Easier
His was a sophisticated sort of brain cancer. In operation to obliterate the tumors would be nigh not possible – they were housed within the most important elements of his brain. Jacques would become a vegetable within the event of Associate in Nursing operation. One evening, on the way to the hospital, I got a call from his mother United Nations agency aforesaid that he was within the throes of death. I rush to the hospital. The doctors aforesaid that Jacques was in his final moments. His mother had brought a priest United Nations agency was to scan out the religious ceremony and bless Jacques to sanctify the event of his death. The doctors and nurses progressing to Jacques looked somber all through the ritual. His mother and Marie were disconsolate. Since i used to be the sole one who appeared composed, the doctors apprised American state of procedures and formalities within the event of his death. Jacques remained alive for regarding Associate in Nursing hour once I entered the hospital. His death was a awfully painful event for all people.
A Unit Event
It was my sister, Daniela's wedding, a grand event. Daniela looked lovely in her white, lacy, decorated robe and veil, a bouquet of red and pink roses in her hand. Our young cousins were her bridesmaids. It absolutely was my mother's and my duty to present her away. My relative-in-law, Rupert, was really an exponent of mine. It absolutely was through American state that she had met him. My sister was operating as a teaching assistant then and doing her pH.D. And Rupert already had a comfortable job during a transnational bank. The match appeared excellent. Each of them were head-over-heels loving with one another.

Wrenched Out of a happening

Does FEAR Control Your Life?
SOURCE: Living Free/Janet Lerner
"And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love." 1 John 4:17-18 NLT
Daily the media reports violence and abuse, especially in the home … child neglect, sexual violence, rape, abandonment, and on and on. Victims of abuse continue suffering pain long after the actual abuse has ended. Memories haunt them. They still feel the shame, fear, anger and grief brought about by painful events of the past.
Are you or someone you love a surviving victim of abuse? If so, you may be allowing fear to rule in your life. The fear you experienced when you were being abused has become a fear of everyday life. Fear of committing to a relationship. Fear of rejection. Fear of failure. Fear of intimacy.
These feelings of fear often cause victims to put up barriers to God and to relationships with other people. Fear is an extremely powerful emotion that we don't know how to control. It attacks our ability to trust. It compromises our ability to relax in relationships. Fear of becoming vulnerable, of being betrayed by others, or even by God.
One of the first steps to overcoming fear and tearing down the barriers it has built between you and others is to ask God's forgiveness for your failure to trust him. This will open the door for you to begin building a relationship with him. To know him better by spending time talking to him and reading about him in the Bible. Only then can you begin to know how much he loves you. Only then can you grow to understand his character. With that understanding you will know that you can trust him, and he will help you build closer relationships with those around you.
Children reared by an abusive or neglectful father often have an incorrect view of God, picturing him like their earthly father. The good news is that our Heavenly Father is perfect and fair. Perfect love drives out fear. God's love is perfect. And he wants to set you free.
Father, forgive me for not trusting you as I should. I believe that you love me. I believe that Jesus died for me. I want to be your child. Help me to trust you and your perfect love … and then to be able to overcome the fear that has ruled my life. In Jesus' name …
These thoughts were drawn from …
Restoring Families: Overcoming Abusive Relationships through Christ by Janet M. Lerner, D.S.W.

Even when the skies have been relatively clear in recent days, you may have still seen what looked like some of those wispy, cirrus clouds in Western New York.
But what you may have actually been seeing is smoke from wildfires in Canada.
National Weather Service meteorologist Aaron Reynolds says this sort of thing has happened before, it really just depends on the Jetstream and other factors.
"What they would have seen is just a haze from the smoke, from the wildfires that have been burning out west and that smoke has been transported east; so every once in a while, if we have enough wildfires out west, you can see the smoke, here over our area," Reynolds told WXXI News.
Reynolds says the smoke can also change the color of the sky, making it appear redder than usual.
"Once the sun gets lower, the light gets scattered and then you can see the smoke and then you can see the color in the sky."
Reynolds says the smoke is very high up, in some cases more than 25,000 feet, so at this point, there is no health hazard from that smoke. (See this photo to the right from the NWS-Buffalo Facebook page on Sunday. NWS comments on the photo: "Here is an updated image of our smoke cover across western New York. This picture was snapped by a low...polar orbiting satellite earlier today. Note the ghostly white coverage of the smoke across western portions of New York and Pennsylvania and over Lakes Erie and Ontario. Pilot reports suggest that the smoke is roughly 8-10,000 feet aloft."
While this latest wispy, smoke was related to wildfires in Canada, Reynolds says even fires in California can sometimes cause the same phenomenon.
"Some of that smoke, depending on what pattern we're in ,what kind of jetstream aloft, some of that smoke could get transported east, it's usually under very rare conditions, but it does happen."
The National Weather Service uses certain kinds of satellite technology to make sure they can distinguish between cirrus clouds and what may be smoke from wildfires.

Paolozzi and Hockney • Two major exhibitions in London
London is enjoying two major exhibitions of work by two popular and influential artists - Eduardo Paolozzi at the Whitechapel and David Hockney at Tate Britain. Both artists, at either end of the same generation, had a connection with the RCA and both are linked to 'pop art'. Each one has held the accolade of 'father of Pop Art'.
Hockney studied painting at the College 1959-62 and discovered 'pop art', the USA and 'sun bleached' hair whilst a student. Paolozzi began teaching in the Ceramics Department in 1968 having already established himself as both an artist and designer. Hockney on his return to the RCA in 1962 from 'time out' in the USA, failed to achieve the College's ARCA award for not having submitted a written thesis. Though the letters were eventually awarded to him on the strength of his paintings. Paolozzi, who was never a student at the College, was awarded an honorary doctorate by the RCA in 1979. Both artists enjoy several acronymized accolades and national recognitions through CBE's, RA's, OM's and CH's.
The two artists' exhibitions; simply named "David Hockney" and "Eduardo Paolozzi", show the historic period when new world 'pop' levered open the cracks of the 'european' schools of impressionism and surrealism. Though (the elder) Paolozzi's work was more akin to the european futurists (Boccioni, Marrinetti) and surrealists such as de Chirico (artists and styles which may reflect his empathy with an italian heritage?), Hockney's work was very much in the style of the fresh faced kid from the provinces looking towards the brave 'new world'. Both artists, although almost a generation apart, reflect the predominating commercialisation and 'automisation' of a post war economy. They both reference a new synthetic age being built up by the Marshal Plan and a Coca Cola economy. Paolozzi's soft shoe'ing between heavy industrial 'darkness' of automatons churning out bright new '57 varieties' of light stuff is in contrast to Hockney's lightness of touch and playful indulgence in the material rewards of "american dreaming". However, both artists, regardless of the US economic and political domination of the Post War era and since remain very 'British' in their output.
The Paolozzi exhibition at the Whitechapel is a solidly comprehensive retrospective showing a wide range of output: exhibits included samples of printed textiles and cocktail dresses made for exclusive haute couture fashion houses alongside a number of publicly commissioned large bronze mechanical casts, as well as decorative screen prints to massive techni-coloured murals (most notably for Tottenham Court Road Underground - currently being reinstalled along the platform areas of the newly refurbished station). His work oscillates between the fine and applied arts which reflected his appointment to teach at the RCA in the Ceramics department (then headed by Lord Queensbury) rather than in Fine Art. This purposeful blurring and breaking down of 'disciplines', and de-categorising of practice is what makes Paolozzi's work so notable and a precursor of cross disciplinary practice which grew out from the 1960's onwards. Though they both inhabited the same post war world of mass production and the rise of capitalism Paolozzi, in appearance and style, was an almost 'opposite' of Hockney. Hockney was the cool iconic 'pop' artist whose work was structurally traditional using a technique of 'cool graphic'. Paolozzi was the dark, stocky mechanic in control of the machine which produced the shiny pop product. The subject matter of Hockney's paintings were visually 'fashionable' yet his references were the classic 'European' masters (Picasso, Matisse, Cezanne). Paolozzi referenced a sci-fi future stamped out by machines.
The works of both artists have enjoyed a lot of exposure. Commuters and tourists are quietly familiar with Paolozzi's public domain sculptures as they run through the veins of London from the Design Museum in Kensington, to the Strand, the British Library (Kings Cross) and on to the riversides of east Docklands. Whereas Hockney's rural landscapes are firmly planted indoors in public museums and galleries - and soon within Westminster Abbey. His current show at the Tate follows close on the heals of the impressive Royal Academy Show 'The bigger Picture', and includes many of his new 'iPad' generated' works which, undoubtedly, will firmly embed him into the hearts and minds of a new generation of followers.
Paolozzi's exhibition at the Whitechapel shows the diversity of his work

As a rule, we don't give the mules too many sweet treats. Sometimes the dog can sweep in and get the errant cookie dropped on the floor before I have a chance to pick it up, but he usually sticks to bones. But it seems like now would be a good time to spoil them a little, though, since we are all so busy spoils everyone else this time of year!
Next time you are in the kitchen, here are two recipes you can whip up to share with the critters at your house!

TFTP server protection with CBAC
I had an interesting debate with an engineer who wanted to use TFTP between a router and a server reachable through an outside interface. He realized that he needed to configure (application-level) TFTP packet inspection for router-generated traffic, but unfortunately Cisco IOS does not support this particular combination.
His query prompted me to read the TFTP RFC, which clearly documents that the data packets sent by the server are coming from a different UDP port number (thus the need for application-level inspection). The results of my tests are available in the TFTP server protection with Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) article.
