Colin Powell: Trump has skewed the presidency with his behavior
The former secretary of state says the president has made a mockery of the office by insulting a range of people from the media to immigrants
Every now and then, Gen. Colin Powell steps out of his reserve to publicly comment on the state of the world, and this is one of those times — with the former secretary of state saying Donald Trump has changed the presidency for the worse.
"You see things that should not be happening," Powell told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday. "How can a president of the United States get up and say that the media is the enemy of Americans? Hasn't he read the First Amendment? You are not supposed to like everything the press says, or what anyone says … that's why we have the First Amendment, to protect that kind of speech."

Powell, who spoke out against Trump during the 2016 campaign, joined the group of critics who question whether Trump suffers from narcissism.
Powell said Trump has made a play on the general's three favorite words from the Constitution, "We the people …" Powell explained Trump has changed the phrase to "me the president."
Powell served as secretary of state from 2001 to 2005 under the younger President Bush. He was the first Jamaican-American to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"I hope the president can come to the realization that he should really stop insulting people," Powell told CNN. "I used this two years ago when I said I could not vote for him in the 2016 election. Why? He insulted everybody. He insulted African Americans. He insulted women. He insulted immigrants. He insulted our best friends around the world – all his fellow candidates up on the stage during the debates. I don't think that's what should be coming out of a president of the United States. But I don't see anything that's changed in the last two years."

Powell had some advice for Americans and lawmakers: that we "take a hard look" at ourselves and keep "forces in check."
"The world is watching," Powell said. "They cannot believe we're doing things like separating mothers and children who are trying to get across the border from south of our border. They can't believe we're making such an effort to cease immigration coming into the country. It's what's kept us alive."

Royal Navy to Retain Three Batch 1 River-Class Offshore Patrols Vessels
The Royal Navy will retain three Batch 1 River-class Offshore Patrols Vessels (OPV), Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson announced, Nov. 22.
By the announcement, the future of the three Batch 1 Offshore Patrols Vessels (OPVs), HMS Tyne (P281), HMS Severn (P282) and HMS Mersey (P283), which currently support the Fishery Protection Squadron, have been secured.
The vessels will be retained for at least the next two years to bolster the UK's ability to protect our fishing fleet as well as our shores. The Royal Navy currently provide around 200 days of fishery protection a year. The Defence Secretary's announcement means that the Royal Navy will now have the capacity to deliver up to 600 days of fishery protection a year if needed.
Mr Williamson has announced that each ship will forward-operate from their namesake rivers – from Newcastle, Liverpool and the Cardiff area respectively – to boost rapid responses in British waters up and down the nation. The versatile ships are also vital to the Royal Navy's anti-smuggling and counter-terrorism work, and frequently escort foreign vessels, including those from Russia, through the English Channel.
"Britain's patrol vessels are essential to protecting our waters, our fisheries and our national security. Safeguarding the future of these three ships in the Royal Navy will ensure we can respond quickly to incidents at any time, further protecting our waters as we exit the EU", said the Defence Secretary.
"By forward-operating these ships from their affiliated locations across the country, including the Tyne, it will not only allow them to react quickly, but also strengthen the bonds between the Royal Navy and local communities."
Just last month, HMS Tyne monitored a Russian frigate as it passed through the English Channel, while last year, HMS Mersey returned from a 48,000 mile deployment where she played a key part in a £12million drugs bust off the coast of Nicaragua and helped combat the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean.The ships also deter illegal pollution activity and provide emergency firefighting capabilities for ships in distress.
HMS Tyne, HMS Severn and HMS Mersey are each operationally available for 320 days a year. The ships are armed with a 20mm cannon, which can fire 700 rounds a minute at at a maximum effective range of 1300 yards, and can travel at up to 20 knots.
They will also be bolstered by five new-generation Batch 2 Offshore Patrol Vessels over the next two years. The Royal Navy is expected to have all the Batch 2 OPVs, named HMS Forth, HMS Medway, HMS Trent, HMS Tamar and HMS Spey, by the end of 2020. They will be able to enhance UK efforts to counter terrorism, combat people and drug smuggling and promote the interests of Global Britain around the world.
The announcement came during the Defence Secretary's visit to Newcastle, where he also revealed the name of the sixth frigate in Britain's Type 26 class of anti-submarine warships as HMS Newcastle.

In a climate when people are moving more than not and small, mobile houses have become en vogue, 75 percent of Americans still prioritize buying a home.
Americans typically still believe in settling down, establishing roots, and investing in a home.
When you purchase a home, among the multiple other decisions (like how much cash you should stow away for a down payment), you will need to determine what type of mortgage you qualify for and would like. You'll be introduced to two words: arm and fixed.
In the world of arm vs fixed rate mortgages, which is better?
Arm or ARM is an acronym that stands for adjustable rate mortgage.
With an ARM, you have a home loan where the rates may vary from month to month or year to year. The rates will change as the interest rates in the market place change.
So your principal will stay the same but the interest rate will vary.
The lender will not cause the payment to fluctuate just based on your bank president's need for a new fishing boat. Rather, the interest rate is tied to the LIBOR prime rate, cost of funds index, or other indexes.
So just as interest rates change for those applying for loans, your interest rate can change as you're paying your loan off.
At first glance, you may wonder, "how is this a good thing?" How do you know how much to plan to pay for if your rate may change?
You may have nightmares of having a payment double your original payment and finding yourselves out on the street, searching for a new place to live.
Arms have their upsides. In the same way, your interest rate can go up, it may go down. Then you may end up with a lower monthly payment because of the lower index or lower interest rate.
Who doesn't want to have a lower payment for anything?
Essentially, when interest rates go down, the bank rewards you. You're taking a risk by betting that interest rates won't skyrocket. You get a lower rate as a reward.
In addition to a lower payment, you receive the added benefit of a better home. Lenders consider lower payments initially, which thus allow you, the borrower, to purchase a more expensive home.
With a traditional mortgage, you would have to refinance to take advantage of lower interest rates. With an ARM, you do not have to go through the paperwork or fees to receive a lower interest rate.
An arm allows borrowers to save and invest what they're not paying on their mortgage. You can take that extra money which would normally go toward paying your mortgage and store it away for a rainy day when you may need it.
Arms work well for those who know they're not going to be in one place for a long time. They do not run as much of a risk of a skyrocketing interest rate because they plan on selling their homes in a couple of years.
Arms aren't all shiny and wonderful though, there are some disadvantages.
When you use an arm, you're running the risk that the interest rate will go up. You have no idea what the economy will absolutely do.
As interest rates go up, so will your mortgage payment.
In fact, as you may fear, it could increase dramatically.
So just because when you purchase your home you have an affordable payment, you do not necessarily have an affordable payment during the tenure of your home ownership.
If your payment gets too high and you cannot pay it, you will default on your loan and lose your house.
But these are all worst-case scenarios, and lenders will help you figure out the chances of this actually occurring.
On a less dramatic scale, an arm can be a bit of a shock to your budget if you have a period of time where interest rates are high. You may still be able to afford your payment, but you'll have to figure out what to cut in other areas.
Additionally, arms are just complicated. They can be difficult to understand because of their fluctuating nature.
You do have some control over the arm to a degree. When you apply for your loan, your lender will give you a few choices on the arm.
You can have caps. When an interest rate is applied to the loan, you can put a cap on the dollar amount of the monthly payment. You can also put a cap on when the rate can adjust.
Commonly lenders will recommend a cap on the first five years of the loan.
You also have some choices on the duration of the adjustment. For example, a 10/1 ARM mortgage is when the rate is fixed for 10 years and then adjust every year up to a particular cap.
A 7/1 ARM Mortgage occurs when a rate is fixed for 7 years and then adjusts every year.
Caps can provide some peace of mind but can also cause some problems. Here's one scenario.
Let's say your ARM has a limit on how high the monthly payment goes regardless of interest rates.
And then you end up not paying off all the interest you owe in a month because the payment has gotten so high.
When you do not pay off all the interest, you end up with "negative amortization." This is bank-speak meaning your loan balance actually goes up in a month, even though you're paying money to the bank.
You do not have to be a victim of the arm without receiving the advantages of the arm. No lender wants to take away your home. Everyone loses in that scenario.
Talk to your lender when considering applying for an arm. Ask for the potential worst-case scenarios. What could leave you with less money in the bank and no home?
Fixed-rate mortgages or traditional loans are just basic loans where you have the same interest rate for the life of the loan.
Your mortgage payments can still fluctuate a bit because of property taxes or homeowners insurance, but you will not see any wild swings as you'd see with an arm.
Fixed rate mortgages are predictable, stable, less stressful, and easier to budget.
You can figure out what your mortgage payment is and still have enough money left to eat dinner every night. You can rest easy at night knowing you can pay your bills.
And you do not have to make complicated decisions on if you want a 10/1 or 7/1 or 5/1 arm.
So what's the negative side then?
With a fixed-rate mortgage, the bank will not reward you for taking a risk because essentially, you're not taking a big risk.
If interest rates drop drastically a year after you secure your loan, you will not receive the benefit. You would have to refinance to take advantage of lower rates.
Additionally, your interest rate will usually be a little higher from the start compared to an arm.
This also means, compared to those seeking an arm, you will have a more limited housing choice. You won't be able to purchase the mansion on the corner.
At the end of your loan duration, you actually may pay more in interest than those with an arm because you're betting that interest rates will go up. If they go down, you end up paying more than if you had bet on an arm.
Fixed rate mortgages cannot be customized like the arm. You do not have choices. You just have your loan and an interest rate.
What does the refinancing cost? It can seemingly cost nothing with a no-cost refinance, but the lender usually makes money in one way or another even when it looks like you're not paying anything.
As you consider refinancing, consider all of the fees and final costs. You may end up paying more than you're saving.
As you can see, arms and fixed rate mortgages each have their upsides and downsides. You can determine which loan is best for you by considering a few important questions.
If you play on staying in one place for the duration of the loan, if you plan on putting down roots, then consider a fixed rate mortgage.
If you will be in this home for only a few years, say five or fewer, then consider an arm. You will have to ride out the interest rate for only a few years if it does go up, and if it goes down, you'll have more money in your pocket for your next home.
Can you afford the adjustment in the time frame of the loan? If you have just a year to prepare for an adjustment, can you afford the rate that may be coming?
Ask an expert about this one. Your lender may be able to give you insight, but you could also look around and ask multiple lenders their opinions on the climate of the interest rate. Do they predict it will go up or down?
If your initial payment for the arm has you eating from the dollar menu for dinner on a regular basis, then you'll need to reconsider the loan you're getting. You can most likely afford a basic mortgage on a modest house.
Adjust your expectations on the type of house you need and seek a mortgage payment that allows you to stay in that home for the long term.
In the end, you, the homeowner, should win when considering if you'll get an adjustable rate mortgage versus a fixed rate home loan. Consider the factors before you decide.

A-Z on successful strawberry farming in Kenya
Many individuals are starting strawberry farming in Kenya. The traditional maize and wheat type of farming is being replaced by more profitable and efficient ways that are aimed at providing both sustainability and profitability.
Strawberries have emerged as some of the sought after fruits in the Kenyan market prompting many farmers to venture into the business and establish strawberry farms in Kenya with the hopes of earning from it.
When selecting a site for strawberry farming in Kenya, a farmer should consider factors such as air and adequate water. Sites that are lower than the land around them are vulnerable to frost as cold air being dense/heavier than hot air will settle on the plants. Level or slightly higher grounds are advised.
Like any other crop, water is important for farmers to succeed in strawberry farming. Some strawberry farms in Kenya have adopted drip irrigation and this increases strawberry production in Kenya as a country since there is assured supply of water all year round.
Soil testing is also a very important factor and all farmers are advised to conduct soil tests before planting any disease vulnerable crops. This goes a long way in preventing pathogen infections.
Strawberries are planted as splits. Strawberries have runners which grow away from the parent plant and in turn attach to the ground forming roots. This can be split from the parent plant to act as seeds for another plant.
During the first weeks of the plant, water is very important and this may determine just how many slits reach maturity. Farmer are advised to gets splits which are transplants from the parent plant so as to get fruits of equal quality as the parent plant. There is a possibility that hybrid plants produce fruits of lesser quality as they are not fully made up of one parent plant.
Pollination in strawberry plants is important just as it is in other fruits. The better the pollination the better the fruits. Fertilizers and manure boost production and therefore farmers with dairy farms can make use of manure from their cows as organic fertilizer.
In most cases, Strawberry farming in Kenya is be done in open air comfortably but for better produce, greenhouses are recommended. Spraying with pesticides is also important as the plants are easily affected by weeds.
The strawberry varieties grown in Kenya include:- Tribute, Tristar, Tioga selva, Domail, Rabunda, Pajaro and Douglas.
Soil preparation: Strawberry farming in Kenya does the best in areas where the soil is in 6 to 6.2 PH. The soil needs to be well drained and weed-free. Strawberries should not be planted in a place where plants of the tomatoes family like raspberries and eggplants have been grown previously.
Planting: The strawberries should be planted at the end of the rainy season.
Spacing: The strawberries should be planted on raised beds with a spacing of between 18-24 inches. The rows should be 3-4 feet apart.
Watering: Use of drip irrigation is recommended as it waters at the root. Watering should be carried out once per week.
Fertilizer/manure application: Compost should be applied every so often. Strawberries are runners and it is therefore necessary to ensure that at least 12 inches between plants remains.
Pruning: To increase fruit production, prune off the flowers the first time they appear.
Harvesting: Harvesting seasons come 2-3 times per year. During the harvesting season, pick every 2-3 days.
The major diseases of strawberries include:-
Leathery rot
The fungus penetrates into the plant at the moment when there are wounds. The root neck of the affected plants shows a reddish brown discolouration. The plants wilts and dies. Control:- Use healthy planting material and/or use resistant varieties.
Red root rot
An affected plant will form no or only few flowers. The small fruits will dry out. Control:- Use certified planting material.
Blossom-end rot and stem rot
This fungus occurs especially in long-range crops. In an early stage small brown spots can arise on the buds. After flowering the calyx tails turn brown, the fruits discolour brown and dry.
The major strawberries pests:-
Wire worms
Wire worms are the larvae of the click beetle. They are also known as click beetle because of their yellowish brown colour. They eat themselves into the rhizome of the strawberry plant, as a result of which the strawberry plant will start to become slack. Others include:- Eelworms, caterpillars, plant lice, red spiders, bugs, thripses and beetles.
Normally, the safest way to farm is to concentrate on crops where the first market would be the farmer and his/her community. This way, a farmer is always assured of a place to sell his produce. The direct community would be a good place to start marketing your strawberries. Local fruit stores, restaurants and other small users such as cake makers are also good buyers of strawberries in Kenya. Industries which produce food flavors, natural flavored yoghurt, jam etc also buy strawberries.
In recent years, Kenya farmers have been reluctant to participate in strawberry farming stating that the Kenyan strawberry farming industry is not very developed. However, farmers looking to venture into the practice are greatly encouraged as there exists an even bigger market for export as long as quality standards are attained.

- Update on 2018 financial performance
Update on 2018 financial performance
Published: 28 Sep 2018
Serco Group plc ('Serco' or 'the Group'), the international service company, today provides an unscheduled update on expectations for the 2018 financial year. Strong operating performance, together with transformation savings and other cost efficiencies, have resulted in trading in the first few months of the second half being better than we anticipated; in addition, we now believe that a number of non-recurring trading items such as end-of-contract settlements and other commercial negotiations will contribute to a stronger outcome for 2018 than we expected, and one which will be meaningfully ahead of current market consensus.
Previous guidance was for Revenue of £2.7-2.8bn and Underlying Trading Profit of around £80m. Our latest view, which is at estimated reported currency rates, now indicates Revenue of approximately £2.8bn and Underlying Trading Profit of £90-95m; the latter would represent growth of between 30 and 40% on the result for 2017. Accounting net debt at the end of the year, which we previously thought would be at the mid-to-upper end of our £200-250m guidance range, is now expected to be towards the lower end of that range. This is in part because of stronger trading and in part because we anticipate that we will receive the early repayment of a vendor loan note issued on our disposal of Intelenet in 2015. As a consequence, we now expect leverage for covenant purposes of less than 1.5x EBITDA at the year end.
With regard to 2019, our detailed budget process for the 2019 financial year has only just begun, and we are mindful of the fact that 2019 will not benefit from the non-recurring trading items we expect to see in 2018. We will update markets on our thinking for 2019 at the time of our pre-close statement on 13 December.

The trailer is coming this Friday but USA Today got there hands on the latest official photos and a brand new updated synopsis…
"A British documentary crew comes to the States to visit Michael in prison for a retrospective of the maniac's night of terror — "Someone has to bring a modern audience into a 40-year old movie," Curtis says — but their project becomes way more interesting when Myers escapes custody, retrieves his signature mask and seeks revenge on Laurie, with others naturally being part of his impressive career body count along the way.
In the decades following the fateful Halloween night that forever altered the former babysitter's life, Laurie has armed and prepped herself for Michael's inevitable return — to the detriment of her family, including daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak)." – USA Today
You can certainly see the new "weathered" look the mask has its fucking bad ass! My excitement for this continues to grow so hurry the hell up October!

Ridge splitting with bone expansion is a technique of manipulation of bone to form receptor site for implant without removing any bone from the implant site. Maxillary bone has inherent quality of flexibility which can bemolded to desire location by using series of instrument namely chisels and osteotome. This further improves quality of bone all around implant, at the crest and apex both. This article describes a report of a clinical case with management of bucco-palatal ridge defect with modified ridge splitting and expansion osteotomy technique using chisel and osteotomes in an esthetic zone.

Schiff Is Screwed: Whistle Blower May Not Testify
It's been several weeks since it was first reported that someone had come forward accusing the President of a wrongful act regarding a phone call with the newly elected Ukrainian President — concerning the countries long history of corruption and in particularly questionable dealings committed by former Vice President Joe Biden along with his son Hunter.
Even then, I predicted that the "wheels on the impeachment train" would eventually derail the "witch hunt express."
On Sunday's broadcast of CBS's "Face the Nation," House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff suddenly jammed on the airbrakes on the impeachment train by announcing the whistleblower who triggered the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump might not testify.
That stunning revelation follows on the heels Thursday's regarding another eye-opening disclosure reported by the Wall Street Journal that "lawyers for the CIA officer whose whistleblower complaint helped ignite an impeachment inquiry into President Trump have asked Congress whether their client could submit testimony in writing instead of appearing in person, according to people familiar with the matter."
"The intelligence committees haven't yet responded to the inquiry about potential written testimony," the Journal also reported.
However, Schiff's announcement that the whistleblower may not actually testify regardless, suggests either something a lot more sinister being devised by House Democrats or that the CIA analyst at the center of the impeachment storm has perhaps decided it's getting much too hot for him to actually testify under oath.
The apparent conflict between House Democrats and the so-called whistleblower emerged last week when it was announced that the whistleblower's voice would be disguised, and interviewing him would be away from Capitol Hill. Now, his lawyers are apparently trying to avoid even doing an interview altogether, suggesting that the so-called whistleblower has a lot more to hide than his identity.
Considering the Whistleblower aside from being a CIA analyst and registered Democrat has also worked under the Obama/Biden Administration with perhaps "firsthand" knowledge regarding the Biden connection within Ukraine.
This sets up all kinds of interesting scenarios for House Republicans who would demand cross-examining the whistleblower, thus the reason no doubt for the refusal by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to formally hold a House vote, that would give Republicans equal legal footing to conduct a counter investigation.
Moreover questioning the whistleblower regarding any previous contacts with members of Congress "before" he filed the whistleblower complaint, and the reasons why he purposely omitted checking off the box, that asked that very question, "under penalty of perjury."
The "Whistleblower Protection Act" provides individuals with a legal blanket of immunity, which begs the question, why all the "smoke and mirrors?" The "Act" is designed for those very reasons, against retaliation, unless the "Act" is maliciously used for nefarious purposes.
A source close to the investigation told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "Schiff may not want the whistleblower to testify anymore because the whistleblower would have to reveal more details about this cooperation with Schiff."
However, the President's new legal honcho Former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy predicted Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community might stop providing information to Schiff because he leaks "like a screen door on a submarine."
The former congressman and new addition to the Trump impeachment team were asked by fellow Republicans his opinion regarding a looming resolution calling for the disingenuous and highly partisan Schiff to step down as chairman of the House panel.
"Never seen that before," said Gowdy, who served on the intelligence panel before leaving Congress in January. "We never voted to remove or ask a chairperson to step down."
Adding, "Adam is a deeply partisan person. He did everything he could to make sure Hillary Clinton became president. And he's done everything he could to keep a cloud over the Trump Presidency."
Thus far 9-Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee formally called for California Rep. Adam Schiff to step down as chairman.
Texas Rep. Mike Conaway read aloud at the beginning of a committee hearing a letter submitted to Schiff, which read.
"Your willingness to continue to promote a demonstrably false narrative is alarming. We have no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a manner consistent with your Constitutional responsibility and urge your immediate resignation as Chairman of this Committee."
As stated at the beginning of my article, the impeachment train is beginning to derail…especially when the next IG report is made public, shortly.

>Arianna Huffington, the accented voice of the extreme left, has issued a pronouncement from her blog. She claims that it is now beyond any doubt that the Republican Party has been taken over by the right-wing "luntic fringe." She refers to the Democratic leadership as the American "mainstream."
Reading her words, I could not help but break out in uncontrolled laughter. I guess when you teeter on the very far left edge of the political spectrum, everything to your right looks a bit far out.
How does she explain that the approval rating of her darling Democratic leaders in Congress is lower than President Bush? At those levels, the Reid-Peolsi crowd must be losing the support of their immediate families.
Arianna fails to see the lunatics in her own party – probably for lack of a mirror. Or … maybe … hmmm … just may … her image does not reflect in a mirror. (Sorry. It must be the Halloween season that plunked that thought into my brain. Is it just me, however, or does the vampire photo I downloaded bear an uncanny resemblance?)
Though not often accurate, Arianna is amusing. Happy Halloween, Arianna. Did you think it was April Fool's Day when you wrote your blog?

- "The great battle of the plain hereabouts. The turning of the armies of the Empire! To a Man, we all sensed that something was amiss that day... something unnatural. Fear where there was fearlessness, a weakening of iron resolve. Brave men, Greatswords true, quailed and broke rank, sewing shame and enmity amongst their allies..."
- —Sir Vogel, Imperial Greatsword.[2a]
The Screaming Bell is an unholy battle-altar dedicated to the Horned Rat, driven forward by the whim of the Skaven Hordes with a Grey Seer at the fore.
The tolling of this unholy relic strikes deep into the hearts of the evil Ratmen, inspiring such awe to its allies while inspiring fear into the hearts of the enemy. The Bell itself is an ever-present symbol of the creation-legend of the Skaven race and it is from these unholy altars that the Grey Seers preach their plans of total domination.[1a]
These relics were cast in the hellish warpforges deep beneath the city of Skavenblight, using bronze alloy laced with pure warpstone to create the bell itself. The Warlock-Engineers of Clan Skyre are the ones who aid in the casting of the bell, joining alongside the Grey Seers in a thirteen-day ritual. The monotonous chittering incantation causes glowing runes of balefire to writhe mystically across the bell and as the casting is cooled, the metal is coated many times over with sacrificial blood. Once forged, the Bell is installed upon a wooden carriage drawn forward by a horde of fanatical followers and a great Rat Ogre to ring it.[1a]
Rumour has it that some piece of the great tower of Kavzar is incorporated into each Screaming Bell, be it a chunk of masonry or some small part of the Horned Bell that sits within the tallest tower of the Temple of the Horned Rat. In battle, the ominous tolling of the bell resounds above the clamor of the fighting, a message of death to foes but a declaration of supremacy to all Skaven. The deafening sound drives the Skaven Hordes into a reckless frenzy, hardening their craven hearts to feats of uncommon savagery. The thunderous tolling is magically amplified and with each toll, the din grows louder and more terrible, causing the very stones to split and buildings to crumble. To those that are attuned to the Horned Rat, each toll gives out one single worded message: doom.[1a]

Day04 Week04 - Beginning of Group Project
Today, the team discussed our project, and we decided to try something different from the "大V约饭" idea that was previously from the Landing Page contest. The reason being that dining with well-known people is already dominated by another company called 在行, and it didn't seem that we were going to build anything different.
Instead, we chose to do something related to online dating. Since people always want to meet new people but are either afraid of doing so out of rejection or too lazy to do so because no trustworthy platform exists. So we are going to pair people up, and only pair up those that are deemed trust worthy.
We broke down the task into the "Must Have" / "Should Have" / "Could Have" and / "Nice to Have" categories, and assigned each team member with something that has to be done by end of this week. My task was to build a Landing Page, given my previous success with the landing page.
I then built a survey with 3 questions and began sending them around to collect responses. My 3 questions are the following:
By the end of day, I received the below responses, and created a summary:
Surprisingly, the biggest end-goal for people to have dinner on a "dinner arrangement" platform would be to have a nice dinner rather than "networking" or "getting laid". Based on these new findings, we began crafting our Landing Page for tomorrow.

When you buy a sea chart for your plotter onboard, whether you are looking for a c-map chart or a Navionics chart, you need to be sure the chart will work with your plotter, because it might not. Depending of the manufacturer and the age of your plotter, you are able to select only certain types of sea charts. If you know which ones will fit, and you are sure, you are good to go. If not, it might be tricky and it will most definitely be an expensive experience if you are Wrong. A possible scenario is when you have an older plotter, and you wish a new sea chart for it. Chart manufacturers like C-map and Navionics Update their charts all the time along with the cartridges and the formats to bring sailors and cruisers a smoother and easier ride, but it results in that combining a new chart with an older plotter is not always possible. The fact might often be that in case you have an older plotter, and by "older" I definitely mean a plotter that works but has seen the good old days, you also have a chart for it that you acquired years back when you also became the happy owner of the plotter. It might not be possible to update that chart either with the newest data, but that depends of how old your chart is. As before-mentioned, digital seachart manufacturers strive on updating and improving their product all the time. We sell digital sea charts with the latest update only. Whenever we sell a sea chart it will be with the latest version from the manufacturer, and whenever you want a chart updated, it will be updated to the newest version. Therefore it is a good thing to check your plotters capabilities of newer charts. The best thing is to contact the manufacturer of your plotter to ask if it can read newer charts.
How can you be sure that a new chart will fit your plotter?
When you shop for charts online, you might be unlucky buying the wrong chart, but you need to be really unlucky, and only in case you dont tell us which plotter your chart should fit. It is very easy for you to buy a chart that will work perfectly well with your current hardware. Here on maritimelektronik.dk we have a service that provides you with absolute certainty that your new chart will be a success. When you have found the chart that you need, go ahead and purchase it and leave us your plotter name in the comment section along with your order. We will then check for you that you will be functional and ready to go ashore when the chart is in your hand. We will not send the chart or withdraw any money from your transfer before we know that it is the right chart you are purchasing. In case there might be any trouble with the chart we will let you know and advise you of an alternative solution. Therefore, it need not cause you any headache to purchase your new chart. All you need to do is leave us the name of your plotter when checking out, and you will be sure to be satisfied with the chart.

Mr. Simply Homemade and the children all enjoy the odd burger, I'm not such a fan so when they appear on our weekly menu, Mr. S/H cooks them.
Ideally he would add fresh herbs and vegetables such as onion, chilli, grated carrot etc; however when he does this, our fussy eater in particular, will spot the vegetables and refuse to eat the burger. So, for these burgers he concentrated on spices for flavour and dressed the burger with some lovely salads.
They were a huge success, I overheard our daughter declare them as the best burgers her Dad as ever made! High praise indeed.
500g Pork Mince
100g Breadcrumbs
1 tsp each of Dried Parsley, Sage, Onion Granules, Dried Chopped Garlic & Paprika
1/2 – 1 tsp Chilli Powder & Cayenne Pepper
Sprinkling of White Pepper
You could do these in a food processor but then you have to wash it so instead bung everything into a bowl, get your hands into it and work everything together.
Divide the mix into eight equal(ish) pieces (by all means weigh the mix and divide it evenly if you wish, Mr. S/H went by eye)
Shape each eighth into burger patties. Preheat a little rapeseed oil on a pan and cook the burgers until they are golden brown on one side and then turn over . Ensure they are piping hot and cooked through before removing from the pan.
Serve in a nice fresh burger bun/bread roll with whatever you like with them.
Mr S/H had rocket, mayonnaise, cheese, onion & tomatoes. The children were less adventurous with theirs, however they all ate them, so they will definitely be appearing on the weekly menu again!

Integrated Media (IM) is a cross-disciplinary supplemental concentration of workshops, seminars and critiques offered by The Center for Integrated Media (CIM) at CalArts. The cross-disciplinary curriculum is designed specifically for advanced graduate students whose creative use of media and technology goes beyond their primary areas of study in art, dance, film/video, music, theater and creative writing. The Center for Integrated Media is designed to accommodate those students who want to interact with their peers from across the Institute within a learning environment that features a collective studio, an exhibition space and digital media tools, enabling them to explore new spatial and environmental installations, media based performance, digital video, sound, gaming, interactivity, object based media and the Internet.
Prospective graduate students who are interested in The Center for Integrated Media can apply to the relevant métier MFA program and indicate their intention to be considered for IM on their admissions application. Applicants to IM should review the IM portfolio and essay requirements in addition to their métier program requirements. MFA program faculty and IM faculty review these applications jointly. Applicants are expected to show a high level of artistic and critical ability required for the métier program and, at the same time, demonstrate significant intention to experiment with digital media technologies through a cross-disciplinary creative practice.
IM students must fulfill all of the requirements of their métier MFA programs. In addition, students must complete 2 IM seminar classes, an IM critique class, a Project Development class and produce an IM project during their final year of residency. Further coursework can include elective courses on technical and theoretical subjects such as media theory, network topologies, new software and hardware, programming basics, digital video production and editing, interactive systems and new Internet applications.

How stress can cause overeating, from the Harvard Mental Health Letter
Stress, the hormones it unleashes, and the effects of high-fat, sugary "comfort foods" can lead people to gain weight. The February 2012 issue of the Harvard Mental Health Letter explains the truth behind "stress eating" — how stress increases appetite — and what people can do about it.
In the short term, stress triggers the brain to produce corticotropin-releasing hormone, which suppresses appetite. But if stress persists, the adrenal glands (located atop the kidneys) release the "stress" hormone cortisol, which increases appetite. Once a stressful episode is over, cortisol levels should fall, but if the stress doesn't go away — or if a person's stress response gets stuck in the "on" position — cortisol may stay elevated.

FA Cup: St Albans City 1 Corinthian Casuals 1 - player ratings
PUBLISHED: 21:55 02 October 2018
St Albans City finally got FA Cup campaign started with their much-delayed clash against Corinthian Casuals. Read how Herts Advertiser's NEIL METCALFE rated the players at Clarence Park.
St Albans City:
Dean Snedker: 7 – Couple of big saves and looks to be full of confidence again. Kept City in it at times although there was one nervy moment in the second half.
Ben Herd: 7 – Worked hard down the right and for big parts of the game he looked like the main St Albans creative threat.
Tom Bender: 6 – Mr Dependable, this was another consistent performance from him. Clearly relishing his central defensive role and was a rock when the ball was in the air. Could do nothing about the goal.
David Noble: 6 – Plenty of the ball but failed to find that killer ball. Struggled with the delivery of set-pieces too.
Lewis Knight: 7 – A commanding presence in the air at the back. Growing in stature with every game and making that position in the middle of the defence his own.
David Diedhiou: 6 – Never looks in trouble and that was the same again tonight.
Ben Wyatt: 6 – Not the usual driving force in the first half but still got forward to good effect.
Solomon Sambou: 6 – Got forward a few times on Saturday but was a bit more reserved tonight. Defended solidly and had to when Corinthians looked impressive early on.
Sam Merson: 5 – Two glorious chances spurned in the first half. No doubting his work rate but confidence must be lacking as on form he would have buried them.
David Moyo: 7 – Another solid game. Johnny on the spot for his goal and worked incredibly hard as usual.
Zane Banton: 6 – First start in a while and may have contributed to his performance. That said you could see his desire to impress as he covered every blade of grass.
71' Percy Kiangebeni (6) on for Zane Banton.
72' Ralston Gabriel (6) on for Sam Merson.
87' Khale Da Costa (n/a) on for David Noble.

xi. Iranian Coins in the Federal Bank of Germany
The origins of the coin collection of the Deutsche Bundesbank, a part of its important Münz- und Geldscheinsammlung, date from the time of World War I (1914-18), when the Deutsche Reichsbank received large numbers of coin donations from private individuals; in the following years, it enlarged this early nucleus by purchase, pursuing the aim of building up a universal coin collection. In the final year of World War II (1939-45), the greater part of the collection was irrecoverably lost. Only a very small part could be bought back by the Bank Deutscher Länder, followed by the Deutsche Bundesbank. Through renewed collecting activity, the humble remains of the former collection of the Deutsche Reichsbank have been constantly extended over the years.
Altogether, the collection comprises about 90,000 items from all over the world, including a considerable number of Iranian coins and medals. Apart from a very few pieces, they are all minted in either gold or silver. The earliest specimen dates to the first half of the 5th century BCE, the latest to the first half of the 20th century CE. As the nature of the collection of Iranian coins is, due to the eventful history of the coin collection of the Deutsche Bundesbank, more the result of haphazard, rather than systematic, collecting, it does not provide a representative picture of the coinage in Iran during this long period. Nevertheless, it comprises a number of excellent pieces as well as of rare or very rare specimens. Some coins are even of special historical interest. The chronological distribution of the material is rather uneven. There is a concentration of ancient coins, almost all minted in precious metal, as well as of modern coins of the 19th and early 20th century CE, while issues dating from the Middle Ages and the early modern period are hardly represented.
The Sasanian coins constitute the majority of the ancient coins issued by the Achaemenid, the Parthian (Arsacid), and the Sasanian kings, including a few issues of the early Sasanian rulers of Fars (Persis). In comparison, however, far more numerous are the coins and medals of the rulers of the modern Persian kingdom. Almost all of these pieces were issued by members of the Qajar or Pahlavi dynasties, in the period between the early 19th and the third decade of the 20th century. Below is a general chronological overview of the Iranian coins in the collection, with notes on those of special historical interest.
Ancient coins. Except for a very few pieces all specimens are minted in precious metals, mostly in silver. They include the following:
(a) Achaemenid coins. The coinage of the Achaemenid dynasty is represented only by four specimens, one daric (dareikos; gold) and three sigloi (silver). A fourth siglos, which has been included in this group of the Achaemenid coins, is a modern forgery of the 19th century, made by the famous German forger Hofrat Carl Wilhelm Becker. The genuine Achaemenid coins are all common pieces, minted between 485 and 340 BCE at the latest, that is, from the time of Xerxes I (r. 586-565 BCE) to that of Artaxerxes II (r. 404-359 BCE), or Artaxerxes III (r. 359-338 BCE).
(b) Parthian coins. The group of fourteen Parthian coins, consisting of one tetradrachm and 13 drachms (see DIRHAM), comprises only pieces of the common Parthian type (reverse: Arsakes/Aršak enthroned or sitting on the omphalos, the navel of the earth). They cover the period from 124/123 BCE to 51 CE, that is, from the rule of Mithradates II (123-88/87 BCE) to that of Vonones II (51 CE), although not all of the Parthian rulers of this period are represented in the collection.
(c) Coins of Persis. Three rare drachms in fine condition, one minted by Šāpur, son of Pāpak, as king (of Persis/Fars; 205/6-? CE), the two others by Ardašir, son of Pāpak, as king of Persis (Ardašir V, after 205/5-before 223/4 CE, thereafter, Ardašir I), are items of considerable historical interest. They lead us back to the earliest phase of Sasanian history in Fars (Persis), confirming the succession of the sons of Pāpak, as kings in Staḵr/Eṣṭaḵr, as it is related by the literary tradition.
(d). Sasanian coins. The collection comprises forty-one Sasanian coins, covering the whole period of Sasanian rule, from the reign of Ardašir I (223/24-240/41 CE), founder of the Sasanian dynasty, to that of the last Sasanian king, Yazdegerd III (633-51 CE). However, not all of the Sasanian rulers are represented. The majority of the coins are minted in silver, nine are minted in gold, and only one in billon. It is worth noting that the collection contains a considerable number of relatively rare fractions (1/6): two dinar fractions and thirteen drachm fractions. For instance, of six coins attributed to Ardašir I, five are fractions, including the two dinar fractions.
The items of the group of Sasanian coins are of varying quality and condition. Besides some stylistically or technically base ones, there are some pieces of very fine quality. Two coin types are of special historical interest. The first one was minted by Bahrām II (r. 276-93) in gold and in silver, depicting on the obverse the busts of the king, the queen, and the crown prince holding a wreath. On the reverse is the king and a female person with a wreath in her hand beneath the fire altar (Figure 1). The coins of this type supposedly celebrate the installation of the son of Bahrām II, Bahrām III, as Sakān-šāh (cf. Mosig-Walburg, 2006-7, pp. 89-91). The second coin type of historical interest is a special issue, a dinar of Ḵosrow II (r. 592-628; Figure 2), depicting on the reverse a bust, the head surrounded by flames. It was minted during his war against the Byzantines, presumably in order to propagate a specific political message in close relation to that war (Mosig-Walburg, 2009, passim) Worth noting is another interesting and relatively rare coin of the time of Ḵosrow II; it is of base metal (aes), worth 12 Byzantine nummi, and was minted in Alexandria. Although it was part of the Byzantine monetary system in Egypt, it nevertheless reveals elements which suggest that it was minted during the Sasanian occupation of Egypt (619-29 [?] CE ; see EGYPT iv. Relations in the Sasanian period) (Figure 3).
Medieval coins. (a) Post-Sasanian/Arab-Sasanian coins. The earliest coins of the small medieval group in the collection are three specimens that, although minted after the fall of the Sasanian empire in 651, still follow the Sasanian minting tradition. The first coin is of base metal (aes) and was minted by a local ruler in Ardašir-Ḵorra in Fars, perhaps shortly after the Arab conquest. This coin, which depicts an angel (archangel Gabriel?) on the reverse, is extremely rare. Only two pieces of this type are actually known (Figure 4); for the early Arab-Sasanian coins in Fars, see Gyselen). The two other coins, both hemidrachms, come from Tabarestan. The first was minted by Farhān (711/12-730/31), a local ruler, before the Arab conquest of this province, the second by the Arab governor Hānī (r. 788-89). (For a presentation of the ancient to post-Sasanian groups, see Mosig-Walburg, 2006-7, passim.)
(b). Buyid and Mongol rulers in Iran. The coin collection comprises only three further coins from the Middle Ages: one dinar of a Buyid ruler, minted in the middle of the 10th century as well as one dinar and one dirham dating to the time of Mongol rule, namely the early 13th and the second half of the 14th century, respectively.
Modern coins. The majority of the large group of Iranian coins from modern times (at present 94 items held in the collection) are minted in gold, among them a considerable number of medals (of Nāṣer-al-Din Shah, r. 1848-96); only two specimens are minted in silver, and two in copper. Different denominations are represented. The earliest modern coin is from the reign of Safavid Shah Esmāʿil I (r. 1502-24), and the latest from that of Reżā Shah Pahlavi (r. 1925-41). The majority of coins in this group were minted under the Qajar dynasty, from Fatḥ-ʿAli Shah (r. 1797-1834) to Aḥmad Shah (r. 1909-25).

It's Not Just About The Cafeteria!
Did you know that the federal Free & Reduced School Meal Application is not only about eating in the cafeteria? In addition to providing an opportunity for some of our students to eat a nutritious meal for no-cost or at a significantly-reduced cost, it also generates additional money for our school. For example, the amount of money we receive from the federal government in our Title programs is based directly on the percentage of students enrolled in the Free & Reduced program, regardless of whether they ever eat a meal in the cafeteria. Our reimbursement from the federal government for our cost of providing Internet and Phone service is also directly tied to that same percentage. Our ability to apply for both State and Federal grants is tied directly to the Free & Reduced program enrollment.
Effective for the 2019-2020 School Year, the fee for a student to participate in various activities is also based on the student's Free & Reduced program enrollment.
How do you apply? Below are two documents. One is the set of instructions, which includes the amounts that we use internally to determine program eligibility. The other is the Application Form itself, which is an Adobe Reader form that is fillable online. (Note: It is not fillable from within the Microsoft Edge Browser - you will have to download it to your desktop and open it with Adobe Reader).
The forms are confidential. If you e-mail the form to our Program Director, only that person or our auditors will see the form. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Program Director - her information is listed below.

No probing questions or time-wasting chit-chat. It was straight to the point. The sales representative told me how much the AVG solution was going to cost us, gave me all the information I needed to get it deployed, and we were on our way.
Claremont, NC (PRWEB) May 22, 2008
Jeremy Kettel, Network Administrator for Community Youth Services in Olympia, Washington manages sixty workstations and three servers for this nonprofit organization that provides resources and a safe haven for at-risk youth.
When Kettel first came on board in February 2008, the organization was using CA eTrust Anti-Virus on all their workstations, but Kettel wasn't happy with the level of protection the product was delivering. "The virus definitions weren't getting updated as frequently as I would have liked, and we needed something more centralized and easy to manage that would protect the network against a broad range of threats but wasn't going to cost us a fortune."
"We have a lot of shared data on our servers, much of it sensitive in nature that we really need to be sure doesn't fall into the wrong hands or become corrupted. Also many of our social workers aren't computer savvy and I worry that they will put data at risk without knowing it."
AVG: Affordable Peace of Mind
Kettel's research brought him to AVG and Walling Data Systems, the leading AVG Authorized Distributor in North America. "AVG Anti-Virus software offers both a high level of protection and a centrally-managed, easy-to-use solution. The central console enables me to manage all sixty workstations from one place, which was exactly what I needed."
By purchasing AVG through Walling Data Systems, Community Youth Services qualified for special nonprofit pricing and unlimited free US-based phone, email, and online support.
"As a nonprofit, the special pricing was definitely an added attraction," Kettel said. "We have to be extremely budget-conscious, and the licenses were affordable."
But the free unlimited US-based support offered by Walling Data Systems was what sealed the deal for Kettel. "I love that feature," he said. "I am the type of person who always buys the extended warranty on new products, because you just never know when you are going to need support. This is a lot like that except it came with the product for free, and it's unlimited. I couldn't ask for more."
Kettel also says that the process of purchasing AVG through Walling was just like using the software -- quick and easy.
"From the first time I called Walling, the process was simple and transparent," Kettel said. "No probing questions or time-wasting chit-chat. It was straight to the point. The sales representative told me how much the AVG solution was going to cost us, gave me all the information I needed to get it deployed, and we were on our way."
So far, Kettel says, Community Youth Services has not experienced any problems with the AVG product, and it has exceeded his expectations. "There's nothing I don't like about AVG Anti-Virus," he concludes. "I use it on my personal computer as well, and you can't get a stronger recommendation than that!"
