YangMing (2019 CyberFair Project ID 8479)
Taiwan, Changhua
Official Status: Incomplete: under Development
Category: 8. Local Music and Art Forms
We estimate 10 student(s) from 13 to 15 will work on this entry.
Description of Our Community: In the ancient Yongjing Township, the folk customs are simple and kind. There are many large-scale old buildings. The traditional architecture shows the Confucius's ethics and filial piety, which assimilate into the paintings, couplets, poems, and places of traditional Chinese architecture. Among the operas, religious activities, ritual culture and proverbs, the good residents and the stable Yongjing were created. Yongjing Township is not only the hometown of Miaomu, but also famous in the rice cake, glutinous rice, red bean dumpling, meatball soup and fried rice moss. Visitors can enjoy the food in Yongjing.
Project Description: "Bowhia" is a name in Taiwan. This craft which called "enamel" in China may have been for thousand years. People used to cherish all the hard-won things, even if they were ceramics. Broken ceramics will not be easily discarded. People always try to find ways to repair and reuse, so the "renovate broken ceramics " industry came into being. Nowadays, even if people no longer use this skill to repair their broken ceramics, Zhu Fangben is trying to preserve this cultural asset and make it a living art collection. Our special topic is to record the old craftsmanship that is about to disappear. And through interviews, video records for research, we used the web page to present the ancient early patchwork process, and proposed activation and revitalization program.

Vastavam web: Targeting the Congress for the "lack of development" in Amethi, Union minister Smriti Irani today said works which the Gandhi family ignored for five decades have been done in the four years of Modi government.Speaking about the imminent visit of Congress president Rahul Gandhi to the constituency, Irani said she had fulfilled her promise to Amethi's people that they'd see more of the Gandhi scion due to her."I thank each and everyone who has helped in development works in this area and Rahulji should come here and see how much work is possible in four years which his family failed to do in 40 to 50 years," she said.
Irani had unsuccessfully fought the last Lok Sabha poll against Rahul Gandhi, but had maintained her links with the constituency ever since."In four years, more than 80 development works have been undertaken, including Rs 55 crore for Swachhata mission to one constituency or making 180 villages ODF…they all will testify as to how this area had been deprived of development (till now)," said Irani.
Asked about women security, the union minister said she had personally met the superintendent of police for setting up help desks for women in all the police stations of the district.
"The question is that for years this (area) has remained the stronghold of the highest leadership of the Congress but the facility of this kind had not been made available in the police stations…who are these people who travel all over the country and discuss Constitution, talk about backwards, farmers and science…but works for all these areas are done by the Narendra Modi government?," she asked.

The keynote speaker for North Carolina NOW's 2019 State Conference is state Representative Deb Butler, who represents downtown Wilmington and parts of Brunswick County.
Rep. Butler gained national attention for her impassioned rebuke of House Speaker Tim Moore after he called for a vote on Governor Cooper's veto of the state budget during a session that Democrats and the media had been told would be a non-voting session. Republican representatives, by contrast, had been told to "be in your seats."

Black pepper is perhaps the best-loved and most widely used spice in the world, adding both heat and depth of flavor to nearly any dish. It is also one of the most traded spices in the world. Our Pepper is sourced from the estates in Wayanad of the Malabar Region famed the world over. Malabar pepper was one of the most sought-after commodities by the ancient Roman and Arab traders, and later by the early European navigators.

Sleepless nights…….
When your days are empty
You feel to be guilty
Enter the boredom heights
You get the sleepless nights
When your life's messed
With nothing but regrets
You see all the fail..
And nothing to prevail
Just sit there quietly
try being patiently
Dream you like
You need to fight
You need the strength
Listen no comment
Keep trying hard
And be that retard
Try figuring it out
Till the last bout
See the bright lights
And forget sleepless nights……!!

How to Install Roll-Up Shades
When you want to add a very quick change to a room's decor you can easily do this with some nicely decorated roll up shades. This type of window treatment is very common in a lot of homes and can come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and materials. There are wooden shades, lace roll up shades, canvas, and plastic shades that are all available for use in changing the look of your room without expensive alternatives. Installation of roll up shades is very easy and only requires a few minutes of your time.
Step 1: Install Inside Casing
Roll up shades can be installed two different ways. The first is outside of the window casing. To do that, you will need to screw the brackets one inch above the window casing and to either side. The other way is to install the brackets inside the window casing. There are no real benefits to either installation. It all comes down to whether or not you will be also using drapes for your windows. This installation will guide you through the inside the casing installation.
Step 2: Locate Bracket Position
Start at the top of the inside of your window casing and measure down 1/2 inch. Mark this location for the top portion of your shade's bracket. Repeat this on both sides. By taking this step first you are ensuring that the shade will be level.
Step 3: Pre-Drill Holes
Hold up one of the brackets with the top lined up against the mark you just made. With a pencil, mark the holes for the screws that will attach the bracket to the wall. Remove the bracket and pre-drill the holes. The drill bit should be smaller than the diameter of the screws. Repeat this with the other side.
Step 4: Install Shade Brackets
Once you have the holes pre-drilled you can then go about installing the brackets to the inside of the window casing. Line up the first shade bracket with the holes you just pre-drilled. Grab one screw and twist it into the hole. Using a screwdriver drive the screw the rest of the way into the wall and bracket. You want to use a screwdriver for this step as the screws can be easily stripped with a drill. Repeat this process until all of the screws are in the bracket. When you have this one completed, you can then install the second bracket.
Step 5: Middle Support
Some roll up shades are going to have a middle support bracket. This is for use with the larger shades so that it does not start to droop in the middle or place too much pressure on the side brackets. You will install this in the middle of your window casing in the same manner as the two side brackets. Mark, pre-drill, install.
Step 6: Snap Roll up Shade in Place
With the brackets in position you will then lift up the roll up shade and slide the ends into the brackets. They will either snap into place or be held with a small cover that snaps into position.

Vin Diesel, a man of the people, and a man of sequels. On his social media accounts this weekend, Diesel started getting fans revved up for two sequels — one expected, one unexpected — that he will be starting in coming up. In the first, he put a poster up for Fast and Furious 8, which confirms its New York City locale. Diesel recently called Fast 8 the start of "the last trilogy" (even though the franchise will have 10 movies … don't think on it too hard).
Straight Outta Compton director F. Gary Gray was also confirmed to be directing the movie recently, and spoke to our own Steve Weintraub about how meeting Diesel and going over their vision for the new film was "all love. Definitely all love," and also teased that,
"We're really pushing to make sure the audience feels like it's not more of the same. They feel like it's fresh, they feel like the characters they've come to know and love are there, but this is gonna be different, and that's probably the most I can give you right now. It's kind of top secret."
Diesel also posted two images relating to xXX: The Return of Xander Cage, both of which feature a longboard and his comments, "Training for Xander is so much fun… can't wait to film this long board sequence that the director showed me. Have a great weekend all…"
Training for Xander is so much fun… can't wait to film this long board sequence that the director showed me.Have a great weekend all…
Posted by Vin Diesel on Friday, 15 January 2016
Though the xXx sequel State of the Union was not a hit (Diesel notably did not star in it, as the movie was handed over to Ice Cube), Diesel clearly still maintains a passion for the project. We recently found out that the movie will be directed by D.J. Caruso, and as these photos confirm, filming is already gearing up. The movie will also star Samuel L. Jackson, reprising his role as Agent Augustus Eugene Gibbons, as well as Bollywood star Deepika Padukone (Chennai Express), Nina Dobrev (Vampire Diaries), and Ruby Rose (Orange Is the New Black). Padukone will play a "huntress" who has a history with Cage; Dobrev will play a "witty and sarcastic techie;" and Rose will be a sniper.
We'll keep you updated on both franchises as we know more. For now, Fast and Furious 8 is set to open in theaters on April 14, 2017

ASIO security checks

Police Checks - Adivce Please!!!
Guest posted a topic in Visa ChatHi, This is a bit long winded but I want to explain everything so nobody thinks I'm some pyscho vandal and hopefully I can get some clear advice! Just filling in our Police Check forms and I got to the question - Have you ever been arrested, dealt with by way of caution/warning/reprimand or been convicted of a criminal offence in England, Wales Northern Ireland or Scotland? My problem is this; in 2005 I was arrested for criminal damage to private property (scratching my ex-boyfriends parents car). I was asked to go down to the local police station, processed (finger prints, DNA and photo), interviewed and then bailed for 7 days pending further investigation. The outcome was that my ex-boyfriends father had actually got him to lie to the police, I had text messages and phonecalls on my mobile which showed that my ex was trying to get in touch with me whilst the police were actually taking his fathers statement and imediately after he had given his. Needless to say the officer that interviewed me was totally pieved off and despite telling my ex's father this he insisted on going ahead with charges. So it was sent to the CPS who in the words of the officer "wouldn't touch it with a barge pole" and actually my ex's father got a warning for wasting police time. Now I actually work with Severely Autistic and Disabled Children and over the last 11yrs have had multiple Enhanced CRB certificates. Never have I had to delcare this incident and its never come up on the search. I have noticed though on the actual forms you fill in it only asks if you have been convicted of a criminal offence or received a caution/warning/reprimand. It never actually asks have you been arrested. I rang our local police force but they said the Subject Access department are only open 9am-4pm Mon-Fri and I would need to speak to them and discuss it with them. I am now worried this is going to stop us as I know a friends brother once got a caution for cannibis whilst at school and they can't emmigrate to Canada as a result. So if anybosy has been in the same situation or knows about Police things I's really appreciate your help! Thanks for reading!!
UK police checks for spouse permanent visa 801 onshore?
Smiler posted a topic in Visa ChatHi I will be applying for my 801 spouse visa for permanent residency soon as the 2 year mark will be approaching. I know I have to do an Australian Police Check. Do I have to do a UK police check too? I visited the UK for a few weeks last Christmas. (I did Uk one a couple of years ago for the prospective marriage visa but is it only needed for that visa and not the 801?) Thanks Smiler:biggrin:
Is it possible to delay medicals and police checks for visa validation purposes?
gypsy10 posted a topic in Visa ChatHello guys, I wanted to pick your brains again. We got the request from our CO for our meds, police checks and form 80 last month. We have 28 days to submit which brings us up to next Thursday. Do you know if its possible to delay our meds and police checks until the end of July? If we get the visa we didn't want to validate before the end of July and go over initially on a reccie. If we do this we will send confirmation of the meds and police checks to the CO. Is this sufficient do you think or will we be penalised? Thanks

Police Checks - USA, UK and Australia
claramanda posted a topic in Visa ChatI've been fortunate enough to have lived in the USA, Australia and the UK. Unfortunately, that means I now have to apply for police checks with all three countries to support my 176 application! :wacko: I'm currently living in Scotland, so will be sending apps for the USA and Australia overseas. I would appreciate any general advice/experiences, but here are my specific questions: 1. USA - how do I go about getting my fingerprints taken? Can I drop into my local UK cop shop and get them to do it? 2. UK - The Character Guidance says to apply to the ACPO, but this only explicitly covers England, Wales and NI. Are they the correct authority for Scotland as well? 3. Australia - how do I pay? They don't have a credit card form, don't want cash and insist on payment in AUD (so no cheques)... Thanks!!

LRR & Medicals/Police Checks
Arilla posted a topic in Visa ChatHi All My first posting but have been following for a few months and its a great forum with lots of useful information. I applied for my LLR visa last year from offshore and have queue date which would put me in the 1.5 to 2.5 years bracket (based on the table http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/other-family-visa-queue.htm ). Not great but better than the 6 years that it looked like it could be. However I have already done the medicals and the police check (at the request of the CO) before it all went pear shaped around July. So my question is what do you think the likelyhood is of having to do them again - not bothered redoing but at a few houndred quid a time it's not a cheap process. I have asked if there would be a refund but the responce was (understandably) guarded as it said '...as appropriate...'. Also does anyone know if there will be a queue like the parent visa that tells you how many people are ahead of you? And if I can stretch to one more - when will the immi site be updated to reflect 2011-2012 figures and priorities. Thanks in advance for any replies Arilla
Please Help- can you get Australian National Police Checks priority processed?

Security Checks after July '11
User Name posted a topic in Visa ChatAccording to a news article I subscribed, there are changes to the way security checks will be conducted by ASIO. My guess is that instead of automatically sending everyone from Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh and few others for these checks, they will handpick the unlucky ones for checks. However does it mean that security checks will be quicker for those whose applications have already been sent for these checks after this new system for ASIO kicks in? Hope any agents can shed some light on this.

Police Checks - process?
Guest posted a topic in Visa ChatHi all, Could someone very kind walk me through the process for getting police certificates please? I only need from the UK. Am I right thinking only my wife and I need a cert? Not my 3 year old son? I've found this website: http://www.acpo.police.uk/NationalPolicing/ACROCriminalRecordsOffice/PoliceCertificates.aspx Is this the correct one? Do I get the certificates sent to me, or do I need to have them sent to Oz? Is one copy enough? I assume I can scan it in? Proof of address could be a bit tricky, as I don't have much sent to my current address - most goes to my old address and I have a redirection service send them on to me. Any ideas? Timelines - is it true to standard service is only 10 working days? Seems quick enough that I don't need to pay extra for the express service. Anything else I need to know? Thanks :-)
Police Checks... & reasons for refusal thereafter with visa app
Guest posted a topic in Aussie ChatHi - New to this website and thinking (like so many others!) about moving to Australia. My question is regarding my partner who 14 years ago was in court for ABH, but never charged over the offence... the case was heard by a judge but charges were dropped and he walked free so no actual charge for ABH shows on his record. Basically he would't have a criminal record. But he would have to give details of this on the police check and I'm very worried that this would be grounds for refusal in a visa application? Just to let you know, he was up for ABH for beating up the man who beat his mother up for 10 years.... He has never been arrested for any reason after this offence 14 years ago! I hope someone can shed some light on this please.

So we phoned them to begin with to ask if there was any delay and we were told no its all fine they will be done in the standard 10 working days, so we sent them on 21st March, would have received them 22nd, we phoned today to ask where they were as surely they should be here by now? No apparently not, it would seem they decided to keep them in their office for 8 days and not even look at them until 29th march!!!!! So now we have to wait until next wednesday before they are done and sent out as that will be ten working days, she couldnt explain why they sat for 8 days without being processed!!!!!!!!!!!!:arghh: i know to some this may be trivial and your prob thinkin well their being sent out next week anyhow but its the whole point of the situ we paid good money for a service that they have not supplied and cant even explain why not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:hug: woooosa woooosa ok im calming now K x

Every 51 minutes, unorthodox person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for nearly one-third of all fatalities.
You can locate more drunk driving statistics on the Mothers adjoining Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the direction of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns discharge duty to educate American drivers roughly drunk driving? This article will meet the expense of a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private interest groups, advocating for widespread appreciation of something called buzzed driving. in view of that what is it?
Buzzed driving is a unconditionally simple concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed unexpectedly by the bloodstream and common tests, similar to a breathalyzer, can play a role the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving taking into consideration a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or cutting edge is illegal in every state. At that concentration, drivers approaching invariably experience sedation and slower response times. In other words, its usefully dangerous to drive similar to that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is helpfully having a BAC belittle than 0.08% but well along than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont modify The way I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One financial credit from UC San Diego that evaluated crash reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than teetotal drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far away more dangerous than driving sober.
The genuine problem is that American work and public policy tend to look upon 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. under that stock and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a wreck increases steadily and accurately from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no quick transition considering comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is safe in the fixed idea analysis.
The checking account from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal upset Prevention. You can open a summary here.
The Worlds Stance upon Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a valid limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances legitimate limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia all have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized bearing in mind gruff fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds forlorn regions to use 0.08% BAC as its valid limit.
Has The disturb Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public minister to announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving preparedness campaign. upon their website, they version that their ads reached approximately one half of every American adults exceeding the age of 21. And that there was a significant addition in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned approximately the issue of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And while public preparedness is categorically important, Americas legislators have yet to answer to our further arrangement of buzzed driving. In fact, following most allow in governments forward to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers under 21 or object helpfully that they wont tolerate any driver when a BAC more than 0.08%.
Only grow old will tell whether or not confess governments follow through upon the current research. help in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas legal limit to 0.05%, but no permit has yet to speak to this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another recognition has been to contextualize drunk driving, to clarify it in terms of substitute tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol exploitation and abuse. The underlying premise to this whisk is that some drunk drivers perform vehicles while impaired because (in therefore many words) they cant back up it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might allow some impaired drivers off the road in the similar gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In origin as soon as recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more report than contrast between alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This line of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a psychiatry released by the National Institute upon Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested sure for drugs next had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the burden is mixed. And the answer might be, too.

Malcolm Turnbull and Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton have talked down the need for an inquiry into population policy after calls by one of their own senators.
Both said it'd recently been looked at, and there was plenty of scope to consider the issue without a formal inquiry.
Prominent Liberal senator Dean Smith wants an inquiry into Australia's population, with new forecasts showing it'll hit 25 million - years ahead of previous predictions.
Senator Smith said new research shows the figure is likely to be reached in August, 22 years early.
Senator Smith has written to the Prime Minister and Treasurer, asking for a senate inquiry.
He also said moderating our immigration intake could give Australia "time to breathe" to develop a revamped policy.
An inter-generational report by the Howard Government found the 25 million mark would be reached years later.
Mr Smith said the new prediction raised questions about service provision, infrastructure planning, and job opportunities.
"I think what we need to do here is take some time to accumulate the evidence," he told the ABC.
Apart from population size, the senator said it was important to consider distribution to ensure the growth isn't concentrated around Sydney and Melbourne.
He believes it's possible to have a "civilised national discussion" about population without claims of racism, and political "dog whistling".
Labor leader Bill Shorten said it was important infrastructure kept with population numbers, but said the government shouldn't blame everything on the one issue.
He also repeated his calls for a clamp down on temporary work visas, saying there were now 1.2 million, up 200,000 under the Liberals.
Mr Shorten said the scheme was reducing local wages and taking jobs from Australians.
Former prime minister Tony Abbott has called for the migrant numbers to be severely cut, and Mr Dutton has indicated reducing numbers could be positive.
Mr Abbott today stepped up his calls for a cut in the intake.
"We don't need to be bringing in a city the size of Canberra every couple of years," he told Sydney's 2GB.
"We've got to bring it down fairly sharply if we are to take downward pressure off wages, the upward pressure off housing prices, and if we're going to unclog our infrastructure.
"Our public transport is full. Our roads are blocked."
He also accused Labor of being "in the grip of ethnic activists" and urged the government to do more to differentiate itself for the Opposition.
Mr Abbott said cutting migration numbers, and support for coal, were two issues that could put distance between Labor and government.
Meanwhile, Treasurer Scott Morrison has a differing view, saying it could cost the budget.
Senator Smith, who authored the legislation for same-sex marriage, said the government should get ahead of the population debate and set up a process for better planning and co-ordination.
Mr Dutton said he was happy to consider Dean Smith's proposal but said the government had conducted a wide ranging review into migration settings in the last six months.
He also said the government had lowered migration numbers over the last 12 months.The intake fell 10 percent, to 1, 630,000 last financial year, largely as a result of a clamp down on fraudulent applications.
"At the next election, Bill Shorten is promising to increase migration numbers," he said.
"The coalition is delivering a decrease to those numbers.
"Bill Shorten has dodged questions about what he would do with his migration program. He's got all sorts of pressure with people on his left."
Mr Turnbull said there was "plenty of scope" to look at the issues, and he would talk to Senator Smith.
But, he said, the migration program was right, and works "exclusively for Australia's national interests".
"We shouldn't take one more than we need or want," Mr Turnbull said.
He said the government was being "absolutely more scrupulous" about who comes here.
"It (the program) is a recruiting exercise," he said.
"We want to get the best and the brightest."

(Long Island, N. Y.) Olympus Has Fallen follows the rather implausible premise of terrorists taking over the White House and holding the President of the United States hostage. Still, it's a movie, and if you buy into movie logic and are capable of suspending disbelief…well, it's STILL rather implausible. But we'll get to that in a moment.
Gerard Butler, who consistently stars in some of the worst movies imaginable, finally ups his game by starring in an average production for once. He plays Mike Banning, a Secret Service agent and former U.S. Army Ranger who is in charge of the security detail for the President (played by Aaron Eckhart). Or rather, he was, until a silly little car accident on the way home from Camp David leaves the First Lady in a car wreck at the bottom of the drink. Banning manages to save the President himself, however, who shows his appreciation by transferring him to the Treasury Department, since having Banning around reminds him of the dearly departed wife.
Maybe he should have saved the First Lady and let the President drown…I'm sure the Vice President would have been a lot more grateful for the resultant pay hike. Anyway, while Banning is toiling away crunching numbers at the Treasury, the White House is invaded by North Korean-led terrorists headed up by Kang Yeonsak (Rick Yune), who demands that the U.S. military withdraw from Korea, but he also has more dastardly designs: he wants to destroy the U.S. by blowing all of our nukes in their silos 'cause his folks were killed by American air strikes during the Korean War when he was a kid. Seems the President and some of his associates have the codes to do so, and Yeonsak is determined to get them no matter what.
Banning, hearing of the situation, is forced to invoke the power of Steven Seagal 80's hit Under Siege when he sneaks into the White House and, of course, ends up being the only man bad enough to save the President. Countless action movie clichés abound, the end.
Overall, Olympus Has Fallen is a decent entry into the world of modern action flicks, which means it's below the high-water mark set for such fare in the 1980's, but it still manages to be entertaining on a base level. Gerard Butler is a solid actor who manages to star in terrible movies, so when he finally manages to get himself into an average film with a surprisingly good supporting cast, he can finally show off his modest talents.
Speaking of that cast, we have an impressive who's who of actors whose careers are winding down: Aaron Eckhart, Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, and Cole Hauser, just to name a few. All bring their A-Game here, although some are used better than others (Judd's role as the President's wife amounts to little more than a glorified cameo). As usual, Rick Yune plays an evil Asian, as he does in most of his movies, which is disappointing, as he's actually a really great actor and I feel he suffers a great deal of unfair typecasting in Hollywood.
As for the movie itself, the actual raid of the White House is pretty unbelievable, if you know anything about the extreme amount of security surrounding the President's crib, especially in the United States-post 9/11. I really don't think a cargo plane bristling with multiple Vulcan cannons can really get into Washington D.C.'s airspace unmolested to conduct a strafing run on the White House, let alone a small army of armed and armored terrorists who manage to easily overrun the Secret Service. As I said, it's all rather implausible, but the film is nonetheless fun and paced well, and the action itself, while too laden with CG as most Hollywood productions are in this day and age, still packs a punch when needed.
So, Olympus Has Fallen is an okay movie, and if a quick action fix is all you're looking for, I suppose it will scratch that itch just fine. However, if you're looking for a REAL action movie, the big guns of 80's nostalgia are finally set to be gloriously unleashed this week…G.I. Joe Retaliation is coming out this Thursday after a gut-wrenching, last-second nine-month delay to needlessly convert it to 3D, and I get the feeling it's be a great deal more fun. Stay tuned for my review, kids!

Why We're Not Worried About Albemarle
My greatest reservation about EVs is metal scarcity.
Take one of the main metals EVs depend on, lithium. Lithium supplies in 2016 amounted to 35,000 metric tons. If completely dedicated to the EV market, that would fuel about 5 million vehicles, which might sound like a lot. But it's not.
Consider that the current world auto population exceeds 1 billion cars. Torrid growth in the developing world, according to a recent Science magazine article, will push that to 2 billion sometime near 2030. If EVs made up even half the world's auto population, it would require 70 million metric tons of lithium. And, of course, lithium has many competing uses, including storage for the grid, growing even faster than demand for EV batteries.
RWI currently has just one lithium recommendation, Albemarle (NYSE: ALB). Albemarle is one of the world's top two lithium producers. (Its ranking depends on how China's minority ownership of several properties is calculated.) While lithium is its primary business, the company has a cohesive business plan that encompasses refining and specialty metal operations that account for about 50 percent of revenues. While these other businesses are much less profitable than lithium, Albemarle uses them to generate cash flow that funds burgeoning expansion of its lithium assets.
What EV Makers Really Need
After doubling since our initial recommendation, Albemarle shares have been consolidating. Investors were a bit disappointed with the most recent earnings, which beat consensus expectations only slightly despite strong profits from the lithium division. Another concern was supply chain issues in China, which while temporary have crimped demand for the raw product. Most important, just this week, the major Chilean miner SQM (NYSE: SQM) reached an agreement with the Chilean government that will allow it to sharply increase its lithium production.
All three events, however, are temporary, mostly irrelevant, or actually positive. As a result we consider the stock a good buy at current levels – nearly 20% below its high – and a compelling buy on any further weakness to the 105-110 level.
The most important caveat would be if EV manufacturers, unsure if future supplies of lithium will be sufficient, sharply reduce their plans or even abandon the market altogether. I strongly doubt that the world will ever see 1 billion EVs on the road – never mind 2 billion. But EVs still will likely make serious inroads into the auto population, and be a potent source of demand for lithium, as long as EV manufacturers are confident they can rely on getting the metals they need, not just lithium but also cobalt, graphite, and even copper.
Why a Rival's Gain is Good News
That's why the recent agreement between SQM and the Chilean government to allow SQM mining privileges for lithium is actually a positive for Albemarle and a step in the right direction. Though investors in Albemarle and other lithium producers reacted negatively to the news, there's little doubt that the most pressing question for lithium producers isn't the risk of oversupply. Rather, it's whether EV manufactures will proceed with their plans.
Even with the agreement, SQM's production in 2024 would supply enough lithium for only around 5 million cars. That would be about 25% of total EV production, which itself would be only about half of total lithium demand. In other words, SQM's projected production was sorely needed to give manufacturers the go-ahead to gear up for the next five years. Moreover, production will not come on instantaneously and is unlikely to have even a short-term impact on the lithium market.
Given projections of accelerated production of EVs not just through 2024 but for the 2020s and 2030s, the jury is still out on whether lithium supplies will be sufficient. When it comes to any mining, it is not just a question of potential reserves. Other important considerations include geopolitical factors and the impact on other commodities. In the case of Chile, political pressures and severe water constraints always come into play.
Other issues that have weighed on Albemarle such as supply chain bottlenecks and high expectations for earnings are temporary.
Recommending Glencore
Cobalt is another critical metal. One reason we're not adding other lithium producers to our RWI portfolio are constraints from the other metals EVs also need, with cobalt front and center. About 50% of cobalt supplies come from the politically fraught Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Only major players have demonstrated the ability to navigate that treacherous political terrain.
This issue we are adding the world's largest cobalt producer, Glencore (OTC: GLNCY), to our RWI portfolio. (We also recommend it in RWI's sister publication The Complete Investor.) Glencore not only is the world's largest cobalt producer, it also is a major producer of copper and a leading oil trader. It is a stock that belongs in any diversified commodity portfolio.
I will discuss cobalt more fully in future issues. The metal does not occur by itself but is always a copper by-product. One unanswered question is whether there are copper producers outside the DRC that can refine their ore so as to produce cobalt. The price of cobalt has been on a tear, and there should be a price at which it will pay primary copper miners to also refine cobalt. That could turn out to be one of the most critical questions in assessing the future of EVs, and I will be exploring it assiduously in coming weeks.

Pineda (7-4) gave up three runs in the first inning on an Elvis Andrus single and Adrian Beltre two-run home run, then allowed a three-run homer to Shin-Soo Choo in the second inning that put the Yankees down 6-0.
Gary Sanchez hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning that made it 7-4 and the Yankees added two more runs in the bottom of the seventh inning on a Ronald Torreyes solo homer and Didi Gregorius RBI single, but Sanchez was thrown out at third base to end the inning.
Over his last three starts, Pineda is 0-1 with a 7.47 ERA, giving up 15 runs (13 earned) and 23 hits in 15 2/3 innings.
New York, which has lost 10 of its last 12 games, scored four runs off Rangers RHP Nick Martinez (3-3).
What's next
Jordan Montgomery (5-4, 3.74 ERA) and the Yankees open a four-game series against David Holmberg (1-1, 2.84 ERA) and the Chicago White Sox on Monday at 8:10 p.m. ET at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Greg send these along with the picture of the Chief at bat…
Collection Walter Neil Dove
Hank Zary was not the only one at bat.
Fred "Body Beautiful" Town was also at bat and in great shape…
Mo and Ollie Olson were also playing while Tommy was just relaxing at first base…
Collection Walter Neil Dove
With so many names, we have to look at the squadron roster found in Walter Dove's logbook to know who's on first.
Collection Walter Neil Dove
If Tommy Todd is taking easy around first base when Mo Morrison is running hard and Ollie Olson is reaching for the ball, then these pictures would have been taken before March 31, 1945 because that's when Tommy Todd was shot down.
If we have Tommy Tomlinson, then when this picture was taken is everybody's guess.
Tommy Tomlinson left on April 4, 1945 when his tour expired.
This is Tommy Tomlinson in the Nissan hut.
I wonder if he is packing up his things.

Torquay for the Best Hotel for Service
Those of us brought up on Fawlty Towers might find it hard to believe that a Torquay hotel has been named as best for service in the UK and that it has also been listed in the top 25 hotels in the world. Obviously, there are no Basil's, Manuel's or Sybil's at the Charterhouse Hotel which has won this accolade.
This award is for service, the most important feature of what we buy after the product itself. Even then you can cope with a product that is not perfect if the service is special. I have stayed in hotels that were not the best. The service, the attention and the fact that nothing seems too much trouble has made ordinary hotels into splendid ones. In those, I have stayed in again and again. And recommended.
The award has come from the TripAdvisor annual summing up of the reviews that have been posted on the website in the past year. This still has its problems as an award because the vast number of people who stay don't praise or damn a hotel (or anything else for that matter) on a website. How should you factor that in? The answer is you can't. In many ways, a hotel (or tourist authority)'s survey of guests that is selected to be representative of all of us is better. Nonetheless, people tend to criticise rather than praise so the Charterhouse has attracted some loyal customers.
The best overall hotel in the UK was in Harrogate, the Rudding Hotel and that also made it into the top 10 in the world, the same as last year.
As for London, the place with more hotels than anywhere else, not one hotel made it into the top 25 UK list. And as Alison Copus of TripAdvisor says, that's a little worrying with the Olympics only 2 years away.
As for the best B&B in the UK? That goes to Number One in Deal in Kent which also made it into the top 10 from around the world.

PCQLinux has a large number of software packages that make
up the distribution. Also each of these packages have a ton of dependencies that
need to be resolved before it can be installed. And when it comes to updating a
package and its dependencies, it is a different matter altogether in terms of
complexity. For a network, the system administrator should setup a package and
dependency download server that acts as an update server.
However, if yours is the only such machine you need to be
able to manage the installed packages yourself. And this is where a graphical
package manager like Synaptic really helps. We use Synaptic as the update
manager for PCQLinux 2006.
|PCQLinux Workstation installs come with the Synaptic package manager that is to be used for update management. Lite desktop installs use Yum for update management
Managing installed packages
When you start up Synaptic, you will see a list of packages that are
installed and available on your system. You can manage this list by sorting,
searching and filtering them.
Once you have selected the package you are interested in, a
bried description of the package is shown. You can then decide whether to
upgrade, reinstall or delete this package. In the case of a delete, Synaptic
will warn you if there are any other packages which depend on this particular
Installing packages
To install a package, simply select the .deb or .rpm file and it will work
out the dependencies for it. If it finds the dependencies in any of the
registered repositories, it will also install these in the correct order to.
Adding Repositories
You can add more repositories from where to pick up updated and new
application packages as well as do automatic dependency resolving. For this,
select Settings | Repositories | New. Enter the required URL of the repository
and other details and save it.
Once this is done, click the 'Reload' button to get the
online repository list as well as the locally installed package with version
Using the different search filters, you can upgrade

Competition grades of Bi Luo Chun tea use smaller, more tender bud-leaf sets with white downy tips. The highest grades come from the earliest pluckings in the two week season. When dry, they remain tightly curled and do not unravel.
The original Bi Luo Chun tea is grown in the Dong Ting Mountain of the Jiangsu Province. The tea is famed for its delicate leaves and fruity flavor.
The Dong Ting Mountain is now granted the status of National Designated Protected Zone. It produces about 550 tonnes each year
Due to its popularity, this tea is now widely cultivated in other parts of Jiangsu Province such as Yi Xing, Li Yang, Li Shui and Gao Chun. They produce about 1,500 tonnes each year.
The tea making process is similar, but the Jiangsu Bi Luo Chun is larger, less delicate and less fruity than their Dong Ting cousin.
Bi Luo Chun tea is also grown in Zhejiang and Sichuan provinces. These are fake teas that are produced from other tea plant species.
Their leaves are larger and less uniform (may contain yellow leaves). They taste more nutty than fruity and smooth.

Best Affirmations for Abundance
God is my instant, constant and abundant source of supply. Thank you sprit!
Look out to the natural world that surrounds you—the bountiful earth, the vast oceans, the expansive sky, the infinity of stars. You live in an abundant universe.
Where does this abundance come from? It comes from the creative power that formed the universe—from God, Infinite intelligence, Divine spirit. The awareness of this Infinite intelligence as it exists within you, is the key to experiencing abundance in your personal life. Since your connection to this Source is unlimited, your potential supply is also unlimited.
The main factor that limits your supply is how much you think you deserve. A lack of prosperity in your life merely reflects your limiting beliefs about what is possible. Open yourself to the abundance that is rightfully yours.
Perhaps you believe in a world of scarcity—that there is only so much to go around. "If I have more, others will have less," you think. But the physical world manifests from creative thought, and since creative thought is limitless, so is the potential supply—for you and for everyone else.
The pleasures of the physical world are yours to enjoy, as long as you don't make them your master. Place your spiritual development as your first priority, and whatever you need to complete the journey will come to you.
1. I believe in God as the Source of my infinite supply, which manifests through my life as abundance and prosperity on all levels.
2. God in me is my unlimited and overflowing supply of every kind of good.
3. I have more than I need, and so I share with my world.
4. My prosperity contributes to the prosperity and well being of others.
5. The universe provides for my every want and need.
Prosperity Quotation
""The only thing you will take through those pearly gates is what you've given away."

Premiers Active April
Fancy a free, weekly 5km fun run? parkrun organise free, weekly, 5km timed runs in 15 locations across Victoria. They're open to everyone and are safe and easy to participate in.
These events are not races, are held in pleasant parkland surroundings and encourage people of every ability to take part; from those taking their first steps in running to Olympians; from juniors to those with more experience.
parkrun started in London's Bushy Park in 2004 and has grown to more than 250 events in the UK as well as expanding to countries including Poland, South Africa, Denmark, Singapore, New Zealand … and Australia.
In Victoria there are currently fifteen parkruns, located at:
The great thing about parkrun is that it is on at the same time (8am) in the same place, over the same distance (5km) every week. So you can get into a great habit of using this as a regular Saturday morning run and, if you want, test yourself to see how you improve over time.
Once registered as a parkrunner, you can easily join in other parkruns when travelling. With 68 parkruns now staged every Saturday morning across Australia you have an excellent chance of finding one nearby when travelling.
parkrun is free and run totally by volunteers. All they ask is that if you participate regularly, you volunteer up to three times a year to help out and keep parkrun alive and running.

So You Want to Hunt Pheasants?
A blizzard blew in this weekend, stranding truckers, closing interstates, and ruining volleyball and basketball tournaments state-wide. 18-wheelers capsized all over the highways. I did my part by sneaking up to Buffalo, WY for a weekend of pheasant harvesting. The cocks were flying and so was the snow. Some flake where so enormous that I turned on them with my 20 gauge, thinking they were pheasants. What can I say? I did my part. Where were you? Henderson and Rocket were reminded that they are, after all, hunting dogs. They chased roosters all over Johnston County. We ended up in the Occidental, staring at a hefty shot of Eagle Rare, gulping down the loneliness that is Wyoming small town Friday night. The snow plows rumbled all night and we hunted Saturday at first light. The dogs ravished the hotel room, defying my pleas to keep them off of the bed. There wasn't much on tv. Football season is becoming tiresome. Alabama seems to have a fascist-style hold on college football and nobody seems to care. Follow the money. When I got back to Casper I cleaned birds for two hours and then worked to make coq au vin, which means cock with wine for those of you who failed French and much else in your lives. This dish requires half a bottle of Bordeaux. That stateside crap doesn't quite work. If you can't sacrifice a half bottle of Bordeaux then I suggest giving your cocks away to someone who understands vitality. Take your kids to Pizza Ranch.
Rooster Hunting near Yoder, WY
It's been a quiet fall. John Venable, poet and cheese monger, was out for the leaf change. We camped in the Sierra Madres and soaked in the Hobo Pool at Saratoga. Henry is turning out to be a pure flushing dog. This is his third season. Now you can tell when he scents a bird. He's all business and he seems to enjoy hunting pheasants more than I do, which is saying a lot. Rocket, 14 no, is still getting around. his nose is fading, but he knows where to look. The two hunted well together this weekend in eastern Wyoming. Let s see if we can make something of the season.

I blog about being a wife, mother, student, caseworker, and simply being human through photography, words, music, and blog challenges. Mental illness has also been part of my life, so you'll sometimes find mental health and psychology in my posts. I've dealt with anxiety and depression most of my life.

Lead Assign has been designed to parse any format of incoming lead. However, if you have control over the format
of the initial lead submission, there are a few things you can do to ensure your leads are parsed and routed correctly.
Lead Assign specifically look for items following these labels:
Name: Susan Customer
Phone: Susan's Phone #
Email: Susan's Email
Address: Susan's Address as one line
ZIP: US postal code.
Postal Code: postal code
Message: I am interested in your product,
it looks really interesting. I am considering buying this week
– Other data here is fine..
Note all the fields are optional. Your lead form may only capture name and email – that's fine.
That said, Lead Assign can take leads that are not in this format and still be able to determine the name, phone, and email
of the customer interested in your services. Please note that for many lead sources you will not have the opportunity to create
leads that in the neat and tidy format similar to that shown above. Lead Assign can read leads that are non-formatted chat
transcripts, verbose leads from 3rd party lead generators and lots more. It's our job to read your leads as they come in and
pick the correct agents to get those leads – leave it to us!

One misconception about proteomics (at least bottom up proteomics) is that we can identify your protein sequence directly from the data we generate from our mass spectrometers. Although this is technically possible using something called de novo sequencing, in practice it still does not work very well.
What we really do is match MS/MS patterns we generate in the mass spectrometer with theoretical MS/MS pattern from existing sequences. Usually these sequences are stored in a FASTA formatted text file. Sometimes people refer to this as a database, which it really isn't.
So where do we get this FASTA file? There are a few good places to look
There are a few others too
Another option is to generate your own transcriptome if you cannot find any available protein sequences.
Here is a good article that can get you started
I'll add more to this section hopefully soon
Please contact me if you can't find a good database 530-754-5298. Usually we can find if one exists.

Trolleybuses provided a form of public transport in Rotherham for over fifty years, having been the fourth British system to be opened in 1912. They also operated to the north of the town to Rawmarsh, Swinton, Mexborough and Conisbrough on joint services with the Mexborough and Swinton Company.
From the early 1930s, the vehicles were noted for their speed and streamlined livery. This publication illustrates these fume free electric vehicles in service along the routes they served. It also provides street scenes taken in the mid twentieth century, which should interest those that study the social history of the area.

You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone.
How many people are starting to find out just what the last 40 years of EU membership has actually been doing for everyday life?
How many things taken for granted should have had a sticker on them saying 'Funded by the EU' or 'Protected by EU regulation' or 'Enabled by EU contribution'? How many other things have been possible because the EU funding, regulation, processes are taking the strain and allowing things to be achieved on top of and alongside them? How many projects have been removed from the capricious game of national politics and just been done rather than argued about. Just because these things have/have had EU support does not mean that they will be any priority for UK funding? In fact, the reverse is probably more likely.
We probably didn't want the EU stickers as the EU has always been the UK governments whipping boy. It's always been so easy to distract criticism by pointing a finger and saying 'it was their fault, they interfered, they started it', and just like an allegation of any form of misconduct, the response will be 'no smoke without fire' and an attempt to fan a visible flame from the situation by various media interests.
In the same way we would not place a sticker stating UK / private interest / foreign investment on things. If you know who's driving it you know who to blame when it goes wrong; or who to thank when it goes right.
Who ate all the Pies
How about a marking standard like that used for food? A little circle as a pie chart showing where the money comes from.
There would be different colours for EU funding, UK national government funding, Local government funding, Lottery funding, Foreign investment, Private donation, Commercial interest.
But then it would be visible where the money came from, and that might expose interests, or lack of interest in a project, which might get people interested as to why and asking questions. We really would find out just what the last 40 years of EU membership has actually been doing in everyday life?
