Last week we rebuilt the little shelf that holds the Kubota's water-lift muffler and on Saturday Bill got it all installed into the engine room where there is lots of space to work (!not!). With that finished, this week he got started on getting the motor itself back together. Yesterday, the piston went into the cylinder, the valves went into the head and the head went on the block. Alas we could still hear air escaping from the exhaust valve when we spun the engine by hand. So today he removed the head, re-lapped the exhaust valve until the seat looked "perfect" and finally got the motor back together (with decent compression) and in back into the engine room bolted to its little spot. The project is not completed yet as there is all the extraneous stuff to attach to the motor including the water pumps to cool the engine, the starter motor, air filter, fuel filter and the alternator so it will be several more days before it is actually running but progress is occurring. Last Sunday we walked the causeway (5 kilometers) with Frank (WindSong) to meet up with Royce and Pam (RDreamZ) for lunch. It was quite windy with occasional clouds blocking the hot sun so it was not a bad walk. We ate at Pomodoro's Italian Restaurant and the food was quite good, although a little slow in coming. No problem as Royce had brought along his new fancy iPod that even connects to the internet to surf or receive mail – naturally we all had to play with that! The food was very good and the waiter was good at keeping our water glasses full as we rehydrated from the walk. To top off the meal, we all had ice cream at the nearby Gelarti's and then the three of us walked back to the Balboa YC (another 5 kilometers!). Sorry that Pam and Royce have their boat anchored at that end of the causeway and didn't get to enjoy the 10k walk!

Learn more from Sergio live at Hero Conf Austin, April 16-18. The PPC game only gets more challenging as time goes by. Each year, it becomes exponentially more difficult to gain an edge on your competition. To maintain your lead, you need to deploy strategies your competitors don't even have on their radars. Do that and you'll get them scratching their heads, wondering what your secret is. Ready to add some new tools to your arsenal? Here are three of my favorite SEM tricks you should try. Ad customizers are a powerful tool for advertisers to give near-real-time context to their ads. It is user defined instructions in a data feed that adapts ads in real-time based on what our audiences (who) are searching for (keywords), where they are searching from (locations), what type of device they are using to search, and when they are searching (time of day/day of week). Here I will emphasis the time people are searching from. Some of you are thinking of a countdown timer (which is an ad customizer, by the way), but what if you wanted to target a message to a specific hour or minute? The countdown timer can't do that. This is where ad customizers come into play. Here's an example of ad customizers in what the feed might look like. Remember to specify the data type in the headers. You probably have a love-hate relationship with broad keywords, but they're a cool hack if you can get them to work exactly how you want. Here's one of the many ways to use them. Pick a few of your high-converting keywords. Make sure there are campaign-level negatives of the Exact and Phrase matches for those keywords (ad group-level negatives aren't enough—trust me). You can also add a bunch of other negatives that garner lower-converting traffic (copy that list into this new campaign as well). Examine which new search terms are triggering your ads. You might find some cool new synonyms around your current keyword list that you can build into your other campaigns. Continue to filter irrelevant core keywords (maybe with some n-gram analysis?). Cheers—you got search engines to do ongoing keyword research for you! This strategy is for those of you who are new to Dynamic Search Ads. It can complement existing efforts, and it should be on anyone's list of tests to try. The Dynamic Search Ad is available on both AdWords and Bing. Essentially, it tells a search engine to crawl a website and match search terms related to the website's content. The ad's headlines are then dynamically generated to match the terms users search for based off of the landing page used. If you layer on remarketing lists—especially if you have a content-rich website or a blog about your product or services—you can extend beyond your standard keyword list to get users back to your website. With a page built around frequent search terms, you can "follow" users on Google or Bing without doing the heavy lifting on figuring out which keywords to buy. Everyone's business is different, so your results may vary. Still, try these three strategies if you're looking for new ideas. They may be just what you need to get a leg up on the competition.

Disclosure Manual: Chapter 14 - Continuing Duty to Review Disclosure Refreshed: 21 October 2021|Legal Guidance Section 7A of the CPIA imposes a continuing duty upon the prosecutor to keep the question of disclosure under review. This duty arises after the prosecutor has complied with the duty to disclose, or purported to comply with it, and before the accused is acquitted or convicted or the prosecutor decides not to proceed with the case. If such material is identified, then the prosecutor must disclose it to the accused as soon as is reasonably practicable, subject to Public Interest Immunity considerations. In particular, following the giving of a defence statement, the CPIA requires that the prosecutor keeps under review whether there is any prosecution material that satisfies the disclosure test. The actions and procedures required upon receipt of a defence statement are dealt with more fully in Chapter 15. Sections 5 and 6 of the CPIA provide for a defence statement to be given when the prosecutor has complied/purported to comply with section 3, but progress can and should be made even where it is apparent that further prosecution disclosure might be required in the future (for further guidance see R v R and Others [2015] EWCA Crim 1941). If any new material is obtained or generated after the schedules have been submitted by the investigator, the disclosure officer should submit a fresh schedule or a continuation sheet with material consecutively numbered together with an additional MG6E. The prosecutor should apply the same principles and follow the same process as before, ensuring letters are sent in a timely manner and update the Disclosure Record Sheet and DMD. There may be further material, which may support or undermine the prosecution, in the hands of third parties. The police may seek advice on the need to obtain further material, even after a prosecution has reached the stage where there is a duty to disclose unused material to the defence. Further guidance on third parties generally can be found in Chapter 5 and Annex B. See also The Joint Protocol between the Crown Prosecution Service and the Police on dealing with third party material. Disclosure Manual: Chapter 13 - Making a PII Application Disclosure Manual: Chapter 15 - Defence DisclosureGo to next page The Code for Crown Prosecutors The Code for Crown Prosecutors is a public document, issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions that sets out the general principles Crown Prosecutors should follow when they make decisions on cases. This guidance assists our prosecutors when they are making decisions about cases. It is regularly updated to reflect changes in law and practice.

House Democrats' Presidential Election Reform Act is Nothing More an Unconstitutional Partisan Power Grab Sep 21, 2022 | Staff • Today, House Democrats are trying to push through their unconstitutional partisan power grab, the Presidential Election Reform Act, in order to update the Electoral Count Act before a consequential midterm election. This bill has NO bipartisan input, tramples on States' rights, and gives Congress the power to interpret State law—a responsibility the Constitution gives the States themselves. VOTE NO ON THE PRESIDENTIAL REFORM ACT, H.R. 8873: (Courtesy of House Administration Committee Republicans): For the first time since 1887, Congress is considering updates to the Electoral Count Act, yet House Democrats are rushing a proposal through in a highly partisan manner. They have held no markups, did not consult with Republicans on the committee of jurisdiction, and did not attempt to work within the bipartisan framework proposed by the Senate – which has also been introduced in the House. With the next presidential certification over two years away, H.R. 8873 is nothing more than a partisan messaging bill and excuse to talk about President Trump and the 1/6 Committee just weeks before the midterm election. The Constitution grants states primary authority over federal elections, but H.R. 8873 would trample on state sovereignty and the Governors' lawful authority. Further, it would grant Congress unprecedented authority to interpret states' laws, opening the door to mass litigation. The Democrats are making this all about President Trump and Republicans, yet throughout history both sides of the aisle have objected to elections, including prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate Stacey Abrams, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 1/6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern, and many others. In fact, one of the authors of the bill, House Administration Chairperson Zoe Lofgren, tried to unseat Congresswoman Mariannette Miller Meeks during the 2020 election in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District by permitting a contest against the election to move forward here in the House – despite it being counted, recounted, and certified by a bipartisan board in Iowa. Rather than work in a bipartisan manner, House Democrats and the 1/6 Committee are desperately trying to score political points. IT'S SIMPLE: Instead of starting with the bipartisan Senate compromise bill to provide meaningful reform, House Democrats chose to put on yet another partisan show while the American people continue to suffer the consequences of their failed agenda. This bill is one more example of House Democrats' out-of-touch priorities. Click HERE for more talking points, courtesy of House Administration Committee Republicans.

One Christmas Eve, my brother and I opened our gift and went to bed. During the night, my brother woke up. "I have to go to the bathroom," my brother told our mom, who during the night had slipped on the bed between my brother and me. She always wanted to know when we woke up on Christmas morning. She replied, "Go to the bathroom, but don't look in the living room." He jumped off the bed. Not wanting to be left out, when he returned, I said, "I have to go, too." "Go ahead," Mom said, "but don't look in the living room." I hurriedly when to the bathroom and returned to bed. When I got back to bed, my brother said, "I'm thirsty." Mom replied, "I put your cup on the bathroom sink. Go get some water, but don't look in the living room." After he returned, I (of course) had to get a drink, too. After hearing the same instructions from my mom, I went into the bathroom and got a drink of water, but on my way out of the bathroom, I peeked into the living room, seeing a red tricycle under the Christmas tree, I started screaming, "Santa has come! Santa has come!" while running down the hall to get my brother. I entered the bedroom. My brother was jumping out of bed. Mom was saying, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, kids." As she opened the door to the bedroom where my dad was sleeping, she said, "Honey, get up. Lynn has found the tricycle." Dad replied, "I just went to bed." Mom replied, " I know, Honey." As we gathered in the living room, I rode the tricycle all through the house. Each new day spreads her wings and flies. When God's Son came from Heaven to Earth! It was just a stable that housed His birth. And angels descended to Earth. To announce the Christ-child's birth. The Savior has been born this day." For all mankind; that includes you and me. And forgiveness for our sin. His presence seems to be everywhere. A glow of love permeates the air. It wasn't just a T-shirt. It was so much more! "Dad and Jude - December 25, 1968" emblazoned across the front, it took me back 35 years to that Christmas night when my then-11-month-old daughter Judy nestled against my chest as we blissfully slept. This Christmas will be my 70th. I've received many gifts, most of them more valuable in monetary terms. But no gift so touched my heart as did this one from my daughter. None made me feel more loved. None reminded me so poignantly of why I have been put on Earth. I remember Mamma - Christmas was always special for our family. We spent Christmas in Buffalo, N.Y., and then Clayton NY from 1953 until my parents' decease (my father, Carl, in 1981 and Mamma in 1988). Even though Mamma worked full time as a school teacher, holidays were special and I was her helper. She made mince meat pies, apple pies, fruit cakes and I was at her side to mix, sift flour, put the pies in the oven - whatever she needed. My treat was to lick or finish was what left in the mixing bowl. That started my successful career in food service. I attended Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., the school of hotel administration and retired from New York's Corrections in food service. Now I am following my mother's career and enjoy working as a substitute teacher in Polk County. I hope I can be as good a teacher as Mamma, who taught business, typing and shorthand. She was my Mamma and mentor. She is sadly missed but never forgotten. As a young girl, I remember my grandmother, her sister and two brothers having Christmas day at each of their homes, alternating places each year. My parents ran a successful home-style diner open 364 days a year, working Thanksgiving so Christmas was closed. This special Christmas was held during the 1940s and 1950s. The time passed and so did these relatives. Then in the 1960s, the Colburns and Dumoulins started their special Christmas. We went to the Dumoulins' and had venison and prime rib on Christmas Eve. Everyone spent Christmas Day at our house - the Colburns in Tuppen Lake, N.Y. Family is important and it was good to spend time with family. From 1975 to 2005, my sister and I (Brenda's my older sister) put on a family picnic in northern New York, at Uncle Art Colburn's summer camp in Red Lake (Ogdensburg, N.Y.) and visited other places in the Thousand Islands of New York. The Dumoulins hold their "Family Reunion" every Fourth of July (almost everyone is off, so it's a good time for a family picnic.) at Cedar Point State Park in Clayton, N.Y. We enjoy the usual hamburgers, hot dogs, wild turkey and some venison. We see all our relatives, kids, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandkids all at one time in one place. That's how we spend our Christmas holidays and the Fourth of July. Growing up, I loved all things blue. I loved laying in the grass and gazing at the drifting blue canvas overhead. I wanted an all-blue bedroom, and mostly I loved the perfectly hued Smurfs. I also loved going to the post office and often expressed how I couldn't wait to grow up so I could get mail. One year, Mom announced a piece of mail had arrived for me. I raced to her, and she handed me a package addressed from Santa. Inside was the most heavenly blue sight - my very own Smurfs cup straight from the North Pole. When my daughter, Erica was in middle school she wanted a particular green jacket. At this age, it was impossible to surprise her with any gift because she insisted on choosing her clothes. Our search was futile so she settled on a red one of similar design, and since it was no longer a surprise gift, she wrapped the red jacket and placed it under the tree. I searched alone and drove to the Altamonte Mall to find the green jacket. I carefully unwrapped her package and replaced the red with the green. Imagine her shock on Christmas morning when she opened the package she had wrapped and the jacket was miraculously the green one she had wanted! The next year, God blessed us with another son. The following year, He blessed us with yet another son. The year after that we were blessed with a daughter. My husband thought we'd been blessed right into poverty. We now had four children, and the oldest was only 4 years old. I learned never to ask God for anything unless I meant it. As a minister once told me, "If you pray for rain, make sure you carry an umbrella." I tried to be understanding when they started a hotel for homeless frogs in the spare bedroom, although it took me nearly two hours to catch all 23 frogs. In spite of changing more than 25,000 diapers, never eating a hot meal and never sleeping for more than 30 minutes at a time, I still thank God daily for my children. While I couldn't keep my promise to be a perfect mother - I didn't even come close - I did keep my promise to raise them in the Word of God. I knew I was missing the mark just a little when I told my daughter we were going to church to worship God, and she wanted to bring a bar of soap along to "wash up" Jesus, too. Something was lost in the translation when I explained that God gave us everlasting life, and my son thought it was generous of God to give us his "last wife." My proudest moment came during the children's Christmas pageant. My daughter was playing Mary, two of my sons were shepherds and my youngest son was a wise man. This was their moment to shine. My 5-year-old shepherd had practiced his line, "We found the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes." But he was nervous and said, "The baby was wrapped in wrinkled clothes." My 4-year-old Mary said, "That's not 'wrinkled clothes,' silly. That's dirty, rotten clothes." I slouched a little lower in my seat when Mary dropped the doll representing Baby Jesus, and it bounced down the aisle crying, "Mama-mama." Mary grabbed the doll, wrapped it back up and held it tightly as the wise men arrived. "I've never enjoyed a Christmas program as much as this one," laughed the pastor, wiping tears from his eyes. "For the rest of my life, I'll never hear the Christmas story without thinking of gold, common sense and fur." Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master. Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher . Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. Had no army, yet kings feared Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. Feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us. God bless you all! The greatest gift you will ever have is to love and be loved in return. This is my Christmas gift story. One Christmas 15 years ago, I bought one of my grandchildren a teddy bear that repeats everything you say. So I played with the bear and fell in love with the teddy bear. I kept it for myself. I love that bear and now it has been on my bedroom table for those 15 years or more. I did buy another gift for that grandchild. My teddy bear's name is Little Baby. I forgot what you call those bears that repeat everything you say, but that's my most treasured gift.

Does the most expensive version of Toyota's popular new RAV4 – the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Edge – make sense, or should you opt for one of the more affordable variants that give you the choice of hybrid power? Smooth 2.5-litre petrol and eight-speed auto Excellent ride quality and decently agile handling Edge scores cool exterior and interior design touches Very inexpensive to service Edge should be offered as a hybrid: the 2.5-litre isn't frugal or fast Passenger seat lacks height adjustment No memory for the driver's seat We've made no secret that here at Chasing Cars, we're fans of the latest Toyota RAV4 midsize SUV. Far better to drive than the previous RAV4, the new version is available with a very frugal and punchy petrol-electric hybrid powertrain, offered for a modest upcharge on most grades. We ran a RAV4 hybrid as a long-term test vehicle in 2019 and came away impressed. But what about a RAV4 without the clear benefits of the hybrid? Well, the best-looking RAV4 model of all – the Edge, known as Adventure overseas – is only available with petrol power. Unlike the cheapest RAV4s, which use a two-litre engine, the RAV4 Edge gets a bigger 2.5-litre unit, plus a smooth, conventional auto gearbox and a mechanical AWD system. It uses quite a lot more fuel than the hybrid, but offsets those losses with slightly more off-road capability, plus a cool aesthetic: the RAV4 Edge comes in a unique khaki-green colour. It also sports matte black badging and orange highlights flecked throughout the comfortable cabin. So: does the RAV4 Edge ($48,915) replace the Cruiser Hybrid as our recommended RAV4 specification? How does the RAV4 Edge drive? Driving the RAV4 Edge is a pleasure. Like all RAV4 grades, and many other new-generation Toyotas, the Edge demonstrates this brand's re-commitment to making cars that drive really well, even if they aren't intended to be sporty or overly athletic. The new RAV4 is really polished compared to most of its midsize SUV rivals. It packs keen, naturally-weighted steering, impressively agile handling, great road noise insulation, and disciplined body control that still allows a plush ride. The only thing it's missing is a turbocharged engine that can compete with the muscularity and refinement of the Volkswagen Tiguan, Mazda CX-5, Ford Escape, and others. Unlike the smaller Toyota C-HR, all RAV4 engines are naturally aspirated. That isn't much of a problem in the RAV4 hybrid, which produces 160kW in front-wheel-drive form or 163kW in triple-motor electric AWD guise. Toyota don't state how much torque their hybrids make, but it feels like around 350Nm to us. By contrast, the RAV4 Edge – which borrows the hybrid version's 2.5-litre petrol engine but without any electric assistance – is merely adequate in terms of horses. 152kW of power is decent for this class, but the atmospheric 2.5-litre musters just 243Nm of torque – and at 4,000rpm. That means you'll find yourself revving the RAV4 Edge harder than a Volvo XC40 Momentum ($46,990) that develops 300Nm at a much lower 1,700rpm. Most of the time, the RAV4 Edge develops enough power. You'll just find it a little sluggish if you tend to want to overtake on country roads. Go easy and drive gracefully, though, and it is easy enough to get along with the 2.5-litre engine. That said, the Edge. uniquely for the RAV4 SUV, mates its engine to a conventional, eight-speed torque converter automatic. Ultimately, this gearbox makes the Edge the smoothest RAV4 to drive. Every other RAV4 uses an elastic-feeling CVT automatic: the affordable 2.0-litre petrol-only models (from $33,695), and the 2.5-litre hybrids, which commence at $36,070. For those that plan to use their RAV4 on dirt or snow regularly, they'll note that the Edge uses a mechanical AWD system connecting the 2.5-litre petrol engine to the rear axle. However, the Edge rides at about the same height as other RAV4 models – and in any case, the eFour electric AWD system in our hybrid long-term test vehicle held up very well on snow days. Anyway, our point is this: most people will find the hybrid versions of the RAV4 live up to the hype and sometimes long delivery wait-times. They are faster and by far more efficient than the other engines. So, if we were Toyota – we'd pair the great-looking Edge with the hybrid powertrain, stat. Basically everything else about the way the RAV4 Edge drives is impressive. The 18-inch wheels and chunky Bridgestone Alenza tyres deliver an excellent ride quality that will let young children nod off on road trips – the RAV4 smooths out potholes admirably. And if you're a keen driver, you will find that – while the RAV4 is no sports SUV – this Toyota's steering and handling characteristics live up to the dictum of CEO Akio Toyoda's dictum that the brand should build no boring car. How is the RAV4 Edge's interior? In a word: good. The Toyota RAV4 has a mostly well-thought out cabin that blends quality materials with comfortable seats and heaps of intuitive storage spaces. Like the Cruiser that sits beneath it in the RAV4 hierarchy of models, the Edge presents with most of the bells and whistles you expect when you're spending fifty-odd grand on a midsize SUV. Leather seats with power adjustment for the driver are present, with heating and – uniquely for the RAV4 – cooling. Now that Sydney is getting hot, we appreciated that. Weirdly, the Edge drops the Cruiser's driver's memory function, making life harder for couples. We don't like that the passenger seat has no height adjustment, meaning anybody taller than 6'2" will be squashed if seated there. You can also sit beneath a panoramic sunroof (a $1,360 option), which offers a much larger pane of glass than the porthole sunroof that is standard on the Cruiser variant. Toyota have intelligently included a heavy-duty sunblind that means this shouldn't hurt the interior temperatures much in summer. Soft materials adorn the dash and doors of the RAV4 Edge: careful – if you buy a RAV4 GX (from $31,695) or GXL ($37,415), you get rock-hard door plastics that feel cheap. That's one reason, among many, why we think the Cruiser and Edge are better choices if you can afford to splash out a little. All RAV4 grades sport an eight-inch 'floating' touchscreen atop the dashboard. The inbuilt software is easy to navigate and use, and there's one-shot voice input for putting destinations in the satellite navigation that actually works! That said, most people will opt to use the wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connections. On that note, there are five 2.1-amp USB-A ports in the RAV4 Edge. Ahead of the driver is a pleasantly small steering wheel, though you don't get paddle shifters despite the Edge having a real gearbox with actual gears. You score a partially digital instrument cluster, but we have found this to be prone to sun glare on some angles. That's important, because the speedo is digital alone. The RAV4 integrates lots of storage spaces, including two handy open shelves above the dash beltline – perfect for sunglasses and soft odds and ends. There is a flock-bottomed central cubby beneath a fixed armrest, and a coin pocket. You get standard wireless phone charging on the Edge model, though it's not grippy enough to stop a caseless phone from sliding off. Families will love the back seats of the RAV4, apart from the fact the rear doors don't open as widely as a Mazda CX-5. Room on offer in the second row is really great, with plentiful headroom, legroom and toe room for six-footers, even beneath the optional panoramic sunroof of our test car that eats into head space. Of course, some cars in this class offer a third row, including the Skoda Kodiaq (where it is usefully sized) and the Honda CR-V (where it's tiny). Standard rear-row air vents, and two 2.1-amp USB ports, are smart inclusions for keeping kids cool and entertained. ISOFIX points are easily found, so mounting a child seat should be easy. Plus, the backrest reclines for older kids to relax on long road trips – while they will also enjoy the plush ride quality. Finally, there's a 580 litre boot behind a tailgate that is power-operated, but quite slow … and it beeps loudly while it operates. Not very stealthy – but that's the point, Toyota would say! The boot is mainly just a big square space, though the Edge includes a dual-sided boot floor with carpet on one side and durable hard plastic on the other. You get a space-saver spare wheel and a netted area for odds and ends, but no shopping bag hooks. What are the RAV4 Edge's running costs? The RAV4 has a massive trump card over most of its rivals in the ownership department: it is really affordable to service, at least for the first four years that it is covered by Toyota's Service Advantage capped price servicing programme. Every type of new RAV4 requires annual servicing (or 15,000km intervals, if these come up sooner). The price of the first four services is $215 apiece on every model, no matter whether it is the base two-litre, the hybrid or hybrid AWD, or the Edge with its 2.5-litre petrol engine. That adds up to $645 for three years, or $860 for four years. Toyota adopted a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty in 2019, and this applies to all RAV4 models. Five years is now standard in the industry. If you stick to the scheduled service intervals, Toyota will extend the drivetrain warranty to seven years. They also cover expenses of having to tow the vehicle for mechanical reasons for seven years (though this is not a roadside assist programme of its own). Where the Edge compares poorly to other RAV4 models is in terms of fuel consumption. In our testing, the RAV4 Edge consumed 9L/100km of petrol in combined town and country driving. Like all other RAV4 models, the Edge accepts 91-octane unleaded. However, keep in mind that the hybrid AWD version used 6L/100km in our care over a long-term stay with us where it was driven around 70 percent of the time in the suburbs. Opting for the hybrid would save the average Aussie driver about $550 per year in fuel compared to what the petrol-only versions would deliver. When you remember that the RAV4 Cruiser hybrid AWD costs $2,500 less than the Edge … you can see why most buyers lean toward partial electrification here. We love the unique visual touches that the RAV4 Edge scores. We also love the inherent smoothness of its conventional automatic gearbox, which makes it the most intuitive RAV4 to drive. However, those two advantages don't outweigh the additional pace and superb real-world efficiency of the hybrid, which is actually more affordable than this top-shelf, petrol-only Edge grade. We think Toyota would do well to expand the Edge range to include the hybrid all-wheel-drive powertrain in a future update, allowing buyers to combine the clear benefits of hybridisation with the rugged charm of the Edge trim.

MangaToon got authorization from FANFAN to publish this manga, the content is the author's own point of view, and does not represent the stand of MangaToon. Without love in the world, life would be Hell. We'd all be at war. Children would be mere dynastic chess peices or laborers. Those in need of care would suffer most. Love is the glue that holds the universe together, that keeps us from tumbling into the abyss, that makes a life a LIFE and not just an existence. Everything depends on it. So can it matter so much whether the one you loves and who loves you is male, female, both, vampire, elf, shapeshifter, yokai, water god or a robot who has developed real emotions? If they make you feel like wherever they are is where you should be, you have something worth fighting for. I don't know why but gay guys looks better than straight ones if they don't already have the good genesfrom their parents, cause gay guys always tries to do better skin care than straight guys. Anyways what I'm trying to say is that gay guys look better than straight guys, thought I'm not really trying to be rude tk all the straight guys reading this.

Stand for Being Heard by Erica | Nov 1, 2018 I caught my first salmon almost by accident. Canvassing a beach on Montague Island for glass fishing floats, we came across a creek so choked with pinks, I tried to bear-hug one out of the current into my arms. I ended up with a soaked chest instead of a fish, so we changed tack and pilfered a scrap of fishing net from the tideline debris. My friend and I spanned the width of the narrow creek with the net taut between us while my husband waded downstream and herded the salmon toward our makeshift strainer. Most of the fish evaded capture, but one poked her head through a small hole in the tattered net and stayed stuck, becoming my first catch. We cooked over a smoldering driftwood fire and though it was "only" a pink, that fish easily makes my Top 5 Salmon Dinners of All Time. In the sixteen years since, I've caught wild sockeye, silver, pink, and king, with a rod and a dipnet and once–a near-escapee in the shallows of the Kenai–with a perfected bear-hug grab. My family Outside is used to salmon stories, studded with details. The remote Copper River and its thick, concealing silt or the crowded Kenai, a subsistence pageant whose beach diversity rivals an Oakland subway stop. The vinyl toolkit of trusty Xtra Tufs and slimy Grundens and orange elbow gloves and coolers big enough to lie down in. The bears and gulls who scavenge the eyes and brains we leave behind. Most vivid of all, the color—that saturated pinkish-orange so distinct that even fruit so hued are named for the fish: salmonberries—and the flavor, a delicate fleshy taste that I love fresh-cooked on a beach fire in June, and just as much in March, slightly freezer-burnt and pulverized with garlic and egg into a tasty burger. My brother and his wife recently moved to Alaska—lured, in part, by my salmon stories– and this past summer brought their inaugural dip-netting excursion. In mid-July, they took long weekends from work and we drove down from Healy with coolers, nets, food, wagon, ironing board, dry bags, ice and headed for the Kenai. (The Copper, though it would recover later, was posting late, low and unpredictable runs.) Even with schedule timed to the tide charts, we stood in the current for hours before one of us caught a single fish. "Patience is required," we counseled. Which it is. We kept four nets in the water despite the tedium, but tide in and tide out brought the same–nothing. "It turns on like a switch," we reassured. Which it can. But for nearly 48 hours, the switch stayed off. A late evening tide change brought in most of our catch, a measly 11 fish split between four. A few folks did better, but the beach consensus was brutal—worst year in recent memory. "Getting skunked is a rite of passage," we consoled. Which is true. Anyone who's practiced subsistence food-gathering in Alaska knows that scarcity and abundance are part of the deal. Over the years of my legal residency, I have "limited out" in hours, and once, gone so completely skunked that 7 of us shared 13 salmon, a take-home only slightly bigger than the serving at a tourist-trap restaurant. Every long-time dip-netter shares this history: famine and feast. Still, for anyone who counts on salmon to fill their freezer and loves the ritual of doing so, last summer was troubling from start to finish. Anecdote is not, of course, data, and we'd be remiss to panic about fishery health based on an isolated bust. But many fish biologists, climate scientists, resource managers, commercial fishermen and residents concur: Alaska's wild salmon population faces uncertain times. Governor Walker has declared multiple fisheries an economic disaster in the last three years, most recently near Chignik this August. (Homer City Council is currently petitioning him to do the same with the Upper Cook Inlet fishery.) After record-high catches in recent years, ADF&G's 2018 data shows the upper Cook Inlet sockeye fishery down 70% in both numbers and dollar value, compared to the ten-year average. Sharp rises and steep plunges in any population do not predict long-term sustainability. It's easy to glaze over at statistics. Historic patterns, centuries-long records, and typical data sets are being upended at a near-daily rate and issue fatigue makes it hard to let it all matter. But when experiences echo data, it sticks. Introducing my brother and sister-in-law to dip-netting during the worst run in my memory makes "economic disaster" ring true. Even before I'd heard official pronouncements on the season, I felt twinges of worry over the poor run. That weekend as I stood hip-deep in the Kenai not catching, I closed my eyes (nothing to watch anyway) and indulged in a thought experiment. What if this is it, the new normal? What if salmon runs lessened, little by little, until one year, they didn't return at all? What if, by 2025, this beach stayed empty in July, because word had gotten out that it wasn't worth the time or money? What if, a decade out, Alaskan kids heard their parents' salmon stories while eating frozen tilapia fillets from Costco? What if someday the nutrient-dense, culturally precious, eons-old fish that was once endemic to this region and intrinsic to its identity goes…extinct? Hold on, some of you will say. It's just a downturn. Nature has cycles. Commercial fishing is the cause. The problem's in the oceans, not the rivers. No one can tell the future. All of which may be true. But in the face of unknowns, it pays to be conservative, to protect what we can't get back. In the face of uncertainty, the imagination can be very instructive. Try it. Drop, for a moment, your entrenched position, your optimism, your skepticism, your annoyance. Close your eyes and imagine a future without salmon. Do you care? If yes, what's it worth to prevent that? Contrary to what the Orwellian "Stand for Alaska" and its Big Oil backers would like you to believe, Ballot Measure 1 was not conceived by anti-development, lower 48 "greenies" behind closed doors. This long-overdue update to current protections (co-written by a tribal leader, a scientist, and a small business owner/commercial fisherman) is an attempt to modernize and clarify an enforceable set of standards that require the State to consider fisheries when permitting development projects. In light of recent pressures on salmon fisheries—declining ocean health, unstable markets, economic downturns, rabidly anti-conservation bias on the federal level—citizens of all stripes worry that there is no leverage protecting the longevity of healthy, wild salmon. The idea of citizen participation scares the hell out of Big Oil; a vague permitting process has long been its free lunch ticket. Their desperation is palpable–just follow the money: Exxon (the largest privately-owned energy company in the world) has donated $1.4 million in the past week alone to fund Ballot Measure 1's opposition, which is funneling that cash into hyperbolic mailers, ad hominem attacks, social media trolling, and very, very fake news. Exxon can change the balance sheet, but Exxon can't change the facts. Ballot Measure 1 will not shut down subsistence access or require you to get a permit to snow-machine. It will not end all major development projects or shut down pipeline maintenance. It will not put the oil industry to bed, kill your job, or trade a diversified economy for a handful of fish. And it will definitely not undermine the sovereign rights of Alaska Natives, who have cherished and protected the role of salmon for centuries. (Exxon, of all entities, knows what it means to sabotage sovereign rights. See: Valdez, oil spill, Chenega. Anyone who thinks this company could be an ally to indigenous people has their waders on too tight.) At its core, Ballot Measure 1 is an example of participatory democracy. The salmon protection measure on the ballot before us next week represents a lot of people standing up and saying to the powers-that-be in one, loud voice, "You need to ask us what we think about projects before you permit them. We value our shared land, and our healthy salmon fisheries. We have a right to give input on how they should be managed." It's that simple. Ballot Measure 1 is not a rubber-stamp, a slap on the hand, a power grab, or a bait-and-switch. It is a public, communal request: listen to us. For the sake of the salmon, the economic share they represent, and the soul of our state they bear up on their humped backs, I hope that we're heard.

Older Restoration, Show or Tour Winning Bid: $31,100 The Thunderbirds of the early to mid-sixties were fabulous designs. A tribute to the space age but with a reliable and robust drivetrain. I love them. Complete photos, videos, and inspection report available at www.ClassicPromenade.com. It's free to bid and only takes minutes to register. This is a fully restored 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible in its original beautiful shade of Arcadian Blue (Paint Code F). This was part of a 40 car collection in El Paso, TX and has been owned by our client for the past 10 years. This T-Bird was built new in the Wixom, MI Ford plant and it spent much of its life in California and by 2000 it was acquired by Frank Armendarez who was the owner of a well regarded restoration facility near El Paso. At the time he acquired it, the T-Bird was a very nice original car with no rust or accident history. He set out to perform a "frame up" restoration of the T-Bird, including rebuilding all the systems, suspension, engine, etc. By 2004, Frank sold the T-Bird to Al Johnson and on July 23rd, 2010 our client acquired this T-Bird as part of his collection. Though now it is now about a 15-year old restoration, this car still shows beautifully and runs very nicely. The Arcadian Blue paint (Paint Code F) has wonderful shine and luster, but is not without some fine scratches as shown in the inspection report. The depth of the paint is rather amazing. The small imperfections are from the limited use over the years, along the edges of the doors, hood and trunk. Today the T-Bird would perform well at local and regional car shows and touring events. Kelsey-Hayes chrome wire wheels really pop out next to the dark blue paint and compliment the look of the T-Bird. The twin white hand painted coach stripes also accentuate the lines of the car, the white convertible top and compliment the interior coloration. The interior has been redone in a very attractive cream vinyl with Arcadian Blue accents and dark blue carpeting and is complete with power operated front seats. The interior is in very nice condition today. The white vinyl power convertible top is also newer with the more modern electronic relays replacing the more problematic original mechanical systems. It also features an Arcadian Blue tonneau cover with the cream vinyl contours, giving it the sleek look of a two seater roadster. The tonneau cover easily removes in a minute. There is very fine pitting on the interior chrome, which we've seen on all T-Birds of the era. The engine compartment is detailed for show and is rather stunning. The 390 CID four-barrel carbureted V8 produces 300 hp, which provides for a smooth and effortless driving experience. These T-Birds are wonderful to drive and are smooth and powerful. With power steering, power brakes, power seats, windows and top, this T-Bird is nicely equipped. Fortunately, they are also mechanically very reliable. This T-Bird runs and drives well. It has been started every other week and has accumulated only 2,500 miles in the past 10 years. We love the functionality of the horizontal red bar for the speedometer! The chassis shows that it was cleaned and painted during the restoration. It is in nice condition today for touring and general use. It is still fairly clean and in overall nice condition. This T-Bird also features an aftermarket AM/FM cassette stereo that is branded Thunderbird. The T-Bird is available for viewing in our Phoenix showroom. The passenger side convertible top header has an odd small corrosion area that is evident, but does not impact its functionality. This T-Bird also features power windows which all work, though the window switch gear can be finicky (which we've found on most of the T-Birds of the era). We also noticed the radio does not work. Overall this is a solid driving, good quality car in need of some minor work to make it really excellent. For full details on the condition of this T-Bird, please see the attached Inspection Report. The Hagerty Price Guide reflects a No. 3 value of $26,070 and a No. 2 value of $42,790. We believe this to be in 2- condition.

Thx $20,500 Bid placed by Jassim ToryWeigle I've always admired the early & mid-60s Tbird convertibles, but never understood the appeal of the tonneau cover. I assume you can just put it in a corner and forget it, and the car still has its distinctive flat deck when the top is down, just as if it never had a tonneau. Would you please confirm that understanding is correct. It literally is two little screws that you undo and two people to lift it off. It takes no more than one minute to remove. Unlike a hardtop, it is made of fiberglass and it is very lightweight.

This vehicle sparked the expansion of the market segment for personal luxury vehicles that feature a higher emphasis on driving comfort, rather than high-speed performance. Production on the Ford Thunderbird occurred from 1955 to 1997 and then again from 2002 to 2005. By the end of 2005, Ford had managed to produce over 4.4 million Thunderbirds. The car was originally designed as a sporty two-seat convertible but was not marketed as such. Within a few years, a second row was added, and the Ford Thunderbird is known for getting larger and large in size until the late 1970s. Many V8 engines have been used in the Ford Thunderbird over the years. As the size of the model increased, a larger engine was also required to support the vehicle. This resulted in later models having poor fuel efficiency. While they weren't advertised for speed, Ford used the Thunderbird body in their NASCAR races, with many hitting an average speed of about 200 miles per hour. The final Thunderbird was manufactured in July of 2005, but the vehicle still holds up as one of the most comfortable and high-performing cars to date!

49ers Lions talking trades ? By Kris C Apr 25, 2007 at 5:40 AM • -- Adam Schefter of NFL.com is reporting the 49ers and Cleveland Browns have both contacted the Detroit Lions about trading for DE/DT Cory Redding From NFL.com Within the past 10 days, the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns have made overtures to the Lions to see what it would take to sign Redding, who has been absent from Detroit's minicamps. However, the Lions maintain that Redding is untradeable -- the same term one GM used to describe Johnson. But it's not going to dissuade other teams from continuing to try. As the draft creeps closer, the Lions could find themselves fielding more phone calls about the player who is unhappy about having the $6.2 million franchise tag slapped on him. And ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that the 49ers have not contacted the Detroit Lions regarding a possible trade up for the no.2 spot in this Saturday's draft A league source tells us that, despite published reports suggesting that the 49ers are the latest team to talk to the Lions about a trade for the No. 2 overall pick, there are and have been no discussions between these two teams. A Game for the Ages - Matchups, History, and More Ahead of 49ers-Cowboys Divisional Game By JD Salazar Do you smell that? It's playoff football. It's a time to celebrate. For a few more precious hours, every team in the tournament still has life, still has reason to hope. There are no more guaranteed games, but there's football to be played, and right now is the time to exult in it. No matter who you root for, you can imagine your team finding a way to win, a way to keep playing football, and filling your February with excitement and joy. Right now, there's nothing standing between your team and glory except the vagaries of chance and a well-fought effort this weekend, and hopefully the next. And for those of you who aren't rooting for a team that's made it this far, never fear. 7 of the 14 playoff entrants this year didn't make it into the dance last year.

Joseph Wapner, who ushered in reality court shows as the first star of "The People's Court," died Sunday after a week of health problems, according to TMZ. He was 97. Wapner was hospitalized last week for breathing problems and returned to his Los Angeles home Friday under hospice care, according to TMZ. His cause of death was not immediately announced. Wapner debuted on the show in 1981 and remained on "The People's Court" for 12 years, longer than any other judge in its history. He oversaw real small claims cases using a tough but fair approach, cutting short all nonsense and bickering he saw from the bench. The show became an instant hit, and opened the door for the new genre of reality court programs that continues today. Wapner stepped down from "The People's Court" in 1993, after nearly 2,500 episodes. He was the longest-serving judge in the show's history until Marilyn Milian, who still serves as its presiding judge, beat his record in 2013.

Postprandial Musings, 2.0 "The words are not good for the secret meaning, everything always becomes a bit different, as soon as it is put into words, gets distorted a bit, a bit silly—yes, and this is also very good, and I like it a lot, I also very much agree with this, that this what is one man's treasure and wisdom always sounds like foolishness to another person." ― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha FRENCH – ENGLISH TRANSLATION Poetical Musings Need a WRITER / EDITOR / CONTENT PROVIDER or WRITING COACH? cinema, current events, Film Review DVD Pick: V for Vendetta July 9, 2015 August 27, 2018 jamalashley As I browsed through the 'Net, I found my old blog (parts of it) archived. I'm re-blogging it here. In this era of Big Business-Big Government alliance, it is always a good idea to watch V for Vendetta to remind ourselves the importance of individual and collective liberties. I have to add that Natalie Portman's portrayal was great. And so was Hugo Weaving's vocal performance. Freedom Forever! While the film is about ten years old, the character V's Guy Fawkes mask is now a world-wide symbol of protest. It is also a symbol of the international network of computer-savvy activists. I'm glad I found these old blogposts. This post plus the documentary critique SEEING TREASON: Justifying a State of Emergency in a documentary plus Good Night and Good Luck: Reminder to Defend Freedom of the Press remind us the precarious state of Freedom during the Macapagal-Arroyo regime. V for Vendetta: The Movie to watch in Big Sister's Philippines The Wachowski brothers did it again! The Matrix (the original) was such a great philosophical metaphor of a film. This time, it is a straightforward attack on the idiots who support and follow Georgie Porgie and his War on Terror. Well, it is still a metaphor but anyone can immediately see the parallel between the High Chancellor (played by the very good actor John Hurt) and George W. Bush, and the events in the film are close to reality. The Americans have already given up some of their freedoms in support of Bush's War on Terror. It is not inconceivable that the US will go the way of England as depicted in the film. In fact, in the Philippines, some of the things shown in the film are already happening. As the soldiers involved in the Oakwood mutiny have asserted, the bombing in Davao was done by the soldiers themselves with no less than the Armed Forces Chief of Staff or Defense Secretary (Angelo Reyes) being involved. And of course, the modus operandi of arresting people then labeling them as terrorists and later killing them extra-judicially is too plain to see by critical thinking people. In the Inquirer Editorial of today, Editorial : When evil is good, the writer compares Orwell's 1984 with Philippines of today. The editorial concludes: In our present stage of political instability and turmoil, when there is undeclared martial law and a creeping movement toward authoritarianism, it would be well for the people to keep the lessons of "1984" in mind and strongly resist the totalitarian actions and rules of the administration. If we remain too long in a state of apathy and inaction, we may wake up too late, when we have already lost our freedom. The Orwellian film V for Vendetta is more proximate and more accessible to today's audience than Orwell's novel. Little Miss Gloria, her little "Mike to the Defense" Defensor and her Justice Secretary would do well to watch this film. In the Philippines, such a movie could not be made. The producers / director would be charged with sedition by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and her Jusdtice Secretary and be attacked in the media by her defender, Secretary Defensor. This film is recommended to all freedom-loving people, especially the Muslims, who now carry the stigma of terrorism the world over due to Bush propaganda. I must say, hats off to the Wachowskis for their courage in making a film that goes against the Terror-mongers like Bush and Blair.

Everything Is Art: Stephanie is synonymous with productive. This week has been really rewarding for me. I switched over to a new sketchbook because my old sketchbook was getting too messy. And as I transferred my old works into my new sketchbook, I was reminded of all the old patterns I used to love. I think that sparked creativity in me and I've just been overflowing with ideas. At the peak of my busy-ness, I was working on five tiles at once. And I'm really excited to show you all that I've created in the past week. If you're a follower on my Instagram (@havepen_willdraw), you'd have seen this tile already. I'm trying new things with Hollibaugh. Still haven't decided whether I should add shading on the Hollibaugh pattern itself, or leave it as it is. Any thoughts on that? I completely forgot about "Rixty"... I think I'm going to be adding it to my tiles more often. Playing around with lines, and also "African Artist". "African Artist" was a new pattern I learnt recently, and to get a feel of it, I drew it on a Bijou tile. And the first time I drew it.... It didn't turn out quite right. I worked with it, though.... And then did another tile while looking at the step-outs properly. Top: The not-quite-right, but still nice looking tile. "Striping" is a wonderful pattern to work with. I liked the pattern so much that I decided to do one on a black Zentangle tile. I like the one on a white tile better only because you can never get really good coverage with white on black and shading becomes a bear. I've decided to only use patterns that don't require filling when working on black. Like Munchin...I saw Molly Hollibaugh's video on Munchin on a black tile. She used something called white charcoal (I think) to add some shading. But I don't think that would have been helpful here. I used Zentangle's soapstone and a white pen to add highlight to the black tile. omigosh! All of your work here is fantastic. I envy your steady hand;-) I was just practicing African Artist this morning and I love it. I love both of your Striping tiles but I'm especially drawn to the first one. It's so bold and vivid. Thank you so much for your kind comment. I love your tile for the Diva challenge. Lovely tiles, I like the white striping best because of the 3D look. I do like the black one too, it was clever to think of doing it. I can never decide with shading hollibaugh either. I do like the look in that it makes it look very up and under, but then I sometimes regret it as it can get very murky looking. I think using a sharper pencil helps with getting a more cleaner looking shading. I think I'll be leaving the Hollibaugh tile as it is because I quite like the contrast of the white Hollibaugh against the patterned background.

Bruno Jakob Hovering and Pulsing Galerie Peter Kilchmann is pleased to announce the new solo exhibition of Bruno Jakob showing selected works from the last 30 years. The exhibition includes early works on paper from 1986, the installation Happy Nothing: Still Collecting from 1990-98, his latest work Hovering And Pulsing (1 table, 1 slate slab, 9 photographs), Invisible Paintings from 1996-99 and a performance on the opening evening. The exhibition title Hovering and Pulsing refers to Jakob's new work, a photographic documentation from 2014. It depicts a performance of the artist on the remains of the burnt down house of his parents in Aarburg, Switzerland. The earliest exhibited works are from 1986, three years after Jakob moved to New York. The paper works are figurative and abstract at the same time and are precisely dated to the day on the back. The artist sketched every day for a period of three months and is showing a selection from the month of April 1986 in the exhibition. He depicts everyday moments both indoors and out. Although the sketches have a figurative character the artist describes them as Invisible Paintings because they are preliminary sketches for large formats which according to Jakob exist as "pictures in the head". The drawings are of different sizes and are individually cut. An early installation work can be seen in the middle of the exhibition space. Happy Nothing: Still Collecting (1990-98) consists of four tables, upon which are spread two paintings on canvas and 29 paintings on paper in various formats. The installation was shown for the first time in 1998 at the trailblazing group exhibition "Freie Sicht aufs Mittelmeer", curated by Bice Curiger & Juri Steiner, at Kunsthaus Zurich and recently in a solo exhibition at the Kolumba, Cologne. The water, without pigment but thought as colour, makes waves in the thin paper and leaves an elusive picture which, as the artist says, "is given back to the atmosphere drying". The paper itself becomes the actual conveyor of expression, and the different types of white and the materiality of the various sheets essentially determine the effect of the picture. Jakob's pictures are the result of his intensive concern with the process of painting and deliberations about painting using painterly means (meta-painting). The artist himself describes his pictures as Invisible Paintings/Drawings. A painter without paints - only pure water without pigments is used. And as the title Still Collecting reveals, a further element is added to the installation. A fifth table with a black slate slab laid upon it joins the ensemble for this exhibition. This "work in progress" stands in relation to the artist's Fluid Performance on the opening Since the late 70s Jakob has been concerned with the idea of the invisible, incomplete, provisional, precarious and ephemeral - aspects which have remained part of his painting until now. The titles of the paintings play a central role here because they contain narrative elements. They remind the viewer that although he is confronted with the two-dimensionality of the canvas, the figurativeness behind it should not be forgotten - or put another way: it is painting and simultaneously "meta-painting". The series Philosophy Escaped (1999) can be integrated into this idea. His interest in painting as illusion and in the painted picture as illusory space is well demonstrated here and he gives the viewer the chance to produce his own picture. The title of the painting and details about its production process trigger inner pictures which follow their own rules. The work group Flesh Net (1995, installation with 2 canvases, 1 canvas panel, 1 photograph (framed), 1 paper work (framed)) fits into this concept of art because all the materials are charged with energy by the artist and their apparently untreated surfaces point to the illusion of painting. After studying at the Kunstgewerbeschule Basel and the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf the Swiss-born artist (*1954) moved to New York in 1983. He has participated in many solo and group exhibitions. A catalogue appeared in 2007 on the occasion of his solo exhibition at Kunsthaus Langenthal and can be obtained from the gallery. Works by Jakob were to be seen at the exhibition "Greater New York" (2010) at MoMA/ PS1 in New York. Recently (2011) he participated at the 54th Venice Biennale at the Arsenale and in the main pavilion with two installations. The same year he also exhibited at the "Beispiel Schweiz" exhibition at Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Vaduz and in the show "Die phantastischen Vier – Zürich konkret" at Haus Konstruktiv, Zürich. In 2012 Bruno Jakob exhibited at the group exhibition "Monochrome" at Kunstraum SALTS in Basel and at Kunstmuseum Luzern. In 2014 Bruno Jakob was awarded the Ricola Collection Prize. This year, 2015, his work will be seen at the "White Noise" group exhibition at Kunsthaus Glarus (17 May to 16 August). He is also exhibiting until 17 May at Museum Tinguely in Basel as part of the group show "Belle Haleine. The Scent of Art".

HELLS HEADBANGERS announces October 14th as the international release date for OCTOBER 31's Bury the Hatchet. The band's first album in nine years (and fourth overall), the long-awaited Bury the Hatchet sees OCTOBER 31 returning with a vengeance, firing off one mean, lean headbanger after another. Led by erstwhile DECEASED Frontman/founder King Fowley, here OCTOBER 31 range their entire repertoire, which goes all the way back to the mid '90s: from thrashing-like-a-maniac attacks to heart-pumping speed metal missiles and plenty of traditional metal in between, Bury the Hatchet is varied, dynamic, and immediately memorable HEAVY METAL to the bloody, glorious end. However, OCTOBER 31 are far, far beyond "retro" retread; the band entirely comprises 100% dyed-in-the-wool metal maniacs, including ex-Overlord shredder Brian "Hellstorm" Williams and bassist Jim Hunter of epic metal legends While Heaven Wept and Twisted Tower Dire. Ten tracks and nearly 42 minutes, Bury the Hatchet doesn't overstay its welcome, and buries itself deep into your metal heart.

Q: Passing a configuration object to a jQuery plugin I often use the below design pattern to create jQuery plugins. I specify default values in the plugin, and allow the user to change them when they initialize the plugin. Normally, my default object just contains string properties, not objects, but this time, I wish to make one of the default properties an object (default_obj_1 in my example). At the bottom of the script, you see me attempt to change one of the properties of by passing the plugin {default_value_2: 666, default_obj_1.default_prop_3: 434}, but it invalid JavaScript and errors out. I also tried passing it {default_value_2: 666, default_obj_1: {default_prop_3: 434} but it appears to overwrite the other values which should remain. How do I update just one of the default values in the jQuery plugin? (function($){ var defaults = { default_value_1 : 123, default_value_2 : 321, default_value_3 : 111, default_obj_1 : { default_prop_1 : 444, default_prop_2 : 534, default_prop_3 : 231 } }; var methods = { init : function (options) { var settings = $.extend({}, defaults, options); return this.each(function () { //Do something using settings }); } }; $.fn.myPlugin = function(method) { if ( methods[method] ) { return methods[method].apply( this, Array.prototype.slice.call( arguments, 1 )); } else if ( typeof method === 'object' || ! method ) { return methods.init.apply( this, arguments ); } else { $.error( 'Method ' + method + ' does not exist on jQuery.myPlugin' ); } }; }(jQuery)); $(function(){ var myPlugin=$('#elem').myPlugin({default_value_2:666,default_obj_1.default_prop_3:434}); var myPlugin=$('#elem').myPlugin({default_value_2:666,default_obj_1:{default_prop_3:434} }); }); A: Change: var settings = $.extend({}, defaults, options); to var settings = $.extend(true, {}, defaults, options); // notice the first param TRUE to do a deep (recursive) merge.

Home / Featured / Northridge West 2015 Year in Review Northridge West 2015 Year in Review Northridge West continues to be a leader in keeping Los Angeles clean. In 2015 we held a community Clean Sweep event on almost every Thursday morning. Each week we cleaned up a different major street in our district working on clearing both the sidewalk and the gutters, as well as trimming over grown trees and shrubs blocking passage on sidewalks. This effort helps beautify our neighborhood, clear storm gutters in preparation for El Niño, and invites the community to take ownership. In addition we held two Saturday events, one in January and one in August where volunteers from the Kiwanis and Northridge Christian Church joined in to clean up Northridge. We have filled over 4,000 bags with debris from our streets. We have also assisted the City in having potholes and streets patched and repaired. At the request of our stakeholders we have formed a committee to work with Northridge East and CSUN to look into mitigating the problems caused by CSUN students parking in residential neighborhoods. In October we helped put on the Valley Disaster Preparedness Fair which provided valley residents with tips, seminars, and resources on how to be ready for the next disaster. Our meetings featured important speakers including Kevin James, President of the Board of Public Works who spoke about City resources available for community beautification. Community College District Board Trustee Andra Hoffman spoke to our stakeholders about progress being made at Pierce College that serves our local students. Cathy Schoonmaker, Urban Wildland Conservation Specialist with the National Parks Service, spoke about how to discourage coyotes and other wildlife from frequenting our yards while keeping them safe from deadly rodenticides. We have ventured into our next major initiative, which is determining the feasibility of creating a public art display called It's Raining Sculpture on the north end of the Tampa median. This project would be in collaboration with the Museum of the San Fernando Valley Public Art Initiative. The project includes installing whimsical sculpture between trees on the median between Chatsworth and the 118. We are working with the City and Councilmember's Office to begin to determine what permits would be required to move forward with this project. We invite you to join us on the Northridge West Neighborhood Council Board, as a committee member or as a volunteer to continue to improve Northridge, increase civic participation and make government more responsive to our needs. We are seeking candidates right now to run in our upcoming election. Join us at our meetings on the second Tuesday of the month, 6:30pm at Calahan Elementary School, 18722 Knapp St. Previous Aliso Canyon Gas Leak Next Will Citywide Wi-Fi Cause Cancer? Northridge West Neighborhood Council Welcomes New Board; Looks Ahead The board members went straight to work after the completion of the formal seating of board members and the election of the executive board. The board was thrilled to nominate long-time board member and community advocate Lloyd Dent as "Outstanding NWNC Senior."

More than two months after its groundbreaking elections, Iraq has finally named a new prime minister, Ibrahim Jaafari. But though Iraq's fledgling democracy may be back on course, spreading democracy to other Arabs will not be easy Apr 7th 2005 | THE Movement for Change is just the kind of group that warms liberal hearts. Uniting Egyptian reformists of all kinds, it has admirably simple goals and a catchy slogan to boot. "Kifaya!" (Enough!), its protesters chant, a sentiment shared by millions of Egyptians who are fed up with decades of one-party, one-boss rule that many feel has barely bettered their lives. Yet the movement, better known simply as Kifaya, has failed, so far, to snowball as its organisers had hoped. Some Cairo onlookers grumble that its protesters block traffic, and some dismiss them as crazies for risking the wrath of the state. Others speculate that the state itself must have created the group. Perhaps Kifaya is intended as a magnet for identifying dissidents, to make it easier to arrest them later. Or maybe it is designed to delude television cameras, and the West, into thinking that Egypt is not so authoritarian after all. In recent months, the notion that democracy might be breaking out in the Arab world has buoyed spirits in the region and beyond. Prime exhibits have included peaceful presidential elections in the occupied Palestinian territories, "people-power" protests against Syria's occupation of Lebanon, and—above all—the spectacle in January of some 8m Iraqis turning out to vote in defiance of threats by the jihadi "resistance" to kill them. This week, after a nail-biting delay, Iraq's National Assembly broke a sectarian deadlock by naming a Kurdish leader, Jalal Talabani, the country's new president. The former president, Ghazi al-Yawar, a Sunni Arab, and the former finance minister, Adel Abd al-Mahdi, a Shia Arab, are to be vice-presidents. More importantly, on Thursday April 7th another Shia, Ibrahim Jaafari, was named the new prime minister, in place of the outgoing Iyad Allawi. Mr Jaafari, the mild-mannered leader of the Dawa party, favours making Islam the state religion. But of the two biggest Shia parties, Dawa is the more sceptical of clerics' mingling in politics. Mr Jaafari has promised to uphold democratic reforms, and says he will bring disaffected Sunnis into his government. So Iraq's fledgling democracy is still alive. But the apathy, suspicion and legions of police that have greeted Kifaya's gatherings in Egypt say much about the difficulty of reform taking wing in other parts of the Arab world. And these are not the only obstacles. The UN Arab Human Development Report published this week, the latest in a series in which Arab academics and intellectuals have highlighted the region's failures, paints a bleak picture of democracy's progress among the Arabs. The lack of avenues for peaceful change is frequently cited as an underlying cause of extremism. However, this report blames the "freedom deficit" for a far wider range of regional ills, including lagging rates of growth and investment, poor performance in science and innovation and widespread human-rights abuses. Oppression is bad for governments too, because it deprives them of legitimacy and so, the authors argue, provides outside powers with a pretext, as in the case of the old Iraq, to intervene in Arab affairs. Over to you, Mr Jaafari Indeed, says the report, many Arab regimes practise what it terms a "legitimacy of blackmail", sustaining their power by posing as the only bulwark against chaos or a takeover by Islamist extremists. Another common feature is what the authors call the "black hole" state. Arab republics and monarchies alike grant their rulers such unchallengeable power as to "convert the surrounding social environment into a setting in which nothing moves and from which nothing escapes." The authors describe a life-long system that whittles away personal freedoms, beginning with patriarchalism and clannishness in Arab family life, extending through school systems that favour the parroting of fixed ideas rather than open inquiry, and on through citizenship restricted by arbitrary laws and limits to free expression. Out of 21 Arab countries, 17 prohibit the publication of journals without hard-to-get licences, seven ban the formation of political parties altogether, and three (Egypt, Sudan and Syria) have declared permanent states of emergency that date back decades. All run multiple intelligence services. Because of income from oil, most Arab governments tax their citizens lightly, but this makes it harder for those citizens to demand accountability. The report is careful to point to positive developments. Aside from piecemeal reforms in several Arab countries, perhaps the most significant trend noted is the growing acceptance, by governments as well as the public, of the urgency of change. In recent years, says the report, a broad consensus has emerged around the idea "that the heart of the failing lies in the political sphere, specifically in the architecture of the Arab state." Yet in no Arab country, except perhaps Iraq (whose violent exception proves the rule), has pressure for change yet resulted in a fundamental shift of power away from long-ensconced elites. Bahrain, for example, is often praised for moving towards democracy. Yet its parliament remains half appointed, and the 70% Shia majority complains it is woefully under-represented. Qatar is another small, rich Gulf state that has progressed quickly, but its rulers have just stripped some 5,000 Qataris of their citizenship, apparently because they belong to a clan deemed disloyal. But the momentum for reform, amplified by new forms of communication such as satellite TV and the internet, is beginning to have an impact. Lebanon, for example, is heading towards legislative elections that many expect will produce significant change. Taking a cue from the Beirut marches, Bahraini Shias have launched their own mass, peaceful street demonstrations demanding a bigger share of power. In Egypt, the judges' union is demanding the right to supervise elections. Even the regional laggard, Syria, is hinting at reforms, such as allowing political parties to form and operate more freely, and granting citizenship to tens of thousands of Kurds who live in the country, but have remained stateless since the 1960s. Sort of embarrassing, now that a Kurd is head of state next door in Iraq.

This year I spent Norouz with Baba. We were invited for celebration to Jamshid, Baba's lovely friend from the Centre and his family. As you hopefully remember your Grandad is a very kind, loving and friendly person, he easily makes new friends and likes socialising. His friends appreciate his wisdom and good nature and he is often an active participant of any social gathering. Jamshid and his family welcomed us very warmly, we had delicious traditional Persian food, lots of laughter and we enjoyed ourselves. It's nice to be with people, it helps you to unwind, forget problems at least for a little while and learn about other people's journeys. People and your relationships with them make your life richer, fuller and more meaningful. Always nourish your relationships with others, they will make you a better person too. I wish you a happy Norouz and I wish you a prosperous Zoroastrian 1396 new year. Another year has gone by and we all got a year older and a little wiser, and we take memories of all that we have been through with us to the new year. The Zoroastrian calendar is believed to have started 3755 years ago. The Zoroastrian new year starts on the first day of spring, when the whole nature comes back to life, when the whole of the animal kingdom starts a new way of life after the cold winter. The other reason for the new year being the start or spring is that spring is the start of agricultural year and those days the whole of the world was reliant of the farming industry. Thank you for your size and shape. Thank you for housing this brain, this heart, this spirit. Thank you for these hands, these feet, this stomach. Thank you for these magnificent thighs.

9802 Nicholas Street, Suite 105, Omaha, NE 68114 Personal Advisory Services How to Keep Your Family Together After You Are Gone Maintaining a healthy relationship with the people you love can be difficult when you also want your business to thrive. I have the advice you need to be successful at both. I work with a lot of family-run companies and have been seeing many of them run into the situation where the parents have not properly planned for the transition of their business to their children after they pass away. This creates conflict among the siblings that are left behind because the parents did not complete the necessary work prior to passing. When you think about all the time and effort you have put into building a company, why would you not set it up properly so that it passes hands smoothly? Imagine the following scenario: A couple has been running a business together for 30 to 40 years, and, over that time, their company's net worth has grown significantly. Of their four children, only their youngest has been working alongside them in the business, while the other three have chosen separate career paths. However, things change when the couple pass. At this point, the three, previously uninvolved, children try to step in and reap the rewards of the company's success. "The best way to ensure that your children want to stay a family is by having these plans developed and worked out ahead of time." This is a common problem when family-run companies are passed down. Even if one child has a clear right to the business, like in the scenario I just outlined, the other children may disagree. Suddenly, children who previously had no involvement with a business may show interest in either growing or selling it. It is essential that parents who own and run a family business prepare clear plans for the company before their passing. If they don't, their children may have a hard time agreeing on how to proceed. Additionally, such disagreements can be exacerbated when the children's spouses get involved. Each child and, by extension, each of their spouses, are likely to have varying opinions on how (and by whom) the business should be run. If you don't have a plan for your family business after you pass, you will leave a mess behind. This planning could include moving stocks into a trust, structuring a buy-sell agreement with one particularly involved child, making executive plans to keep the management team around while transitioning from one generation to the next, and more. Also, if only one child has been involved in the business previously (as in the case of our earlier example) parents can take out an insurance policy that will allow that child to eventually take full control. We can help you develop a plan and build a presentation that will explain your intentions for the business. This kind of preparation will make sure that your children are treated fairly, that your business is well taken care of after your passing, and that, after you're gone, your surviving family will remain close to one another. Don't put off making these plans. It's never too early to settle your business's future. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Is Zenith Kitchen Manufacturers Ltd your business? "There is no such business with this name ever having been registered with the companies office of New Zealand. The phone number denotes this outfit are currently trading as LIFESTYLE KITCHENS - DO NOT USE!!! Our kitchen was ordered in October 2014 and it has been a hard slog getting anything done. IT IS STILL NOT COMPLETE (23/07/15) and we expect it would take years for them to complete the job.. but only if you make it your life's work to stay in communication. Whenever Peter says "I've got that at the painters" or it's "in the warehouse" or "it'll be ready next week" etc... ask for their name and CALL THEM or visit the warehouse.. truly you will be impressed at the volume of BS from this outfit. He made our kitchen with NO CUTLERY DRAWER!!! (It was in the plan). What kitchen maker who's apparently been making kitchens and joinery for years... skips details like this. It would be like a bathroom designer forgetting to leave space in the bathroom, for THE TOILET. 5. multiple cupboard doors were made the wrong size and door and end panels for made without the correct detailing as prescribed in the plan. plus way more... but that would be boring for you. This guy has been in to measure again and again and again. During work hours. We've had to take so much unpaid time off work thanks to their DIS-organisation and often ... get this... NOBODY TURNS UP. Trust me, if you speak with the CORRECT references, you'll hear plenty about manufacturing and installation issues with many (here I want to say ALL) customers. make no mistake, use this company and prepare to go to WAR for what you paid for." "Very easy Company to work with that actually did what they said they would. They were on time, kept me up to date with the job and suggested improvements mid stream. Very reasonably priced, flexible and a pleasure to work with." "We are very happy with our kitchen we had designed by Zenith, we found Zenith to be very affordable with a high standard finish, they have a great range to choose from and went out of their way to accommodate us with all of our requests. we would have no problems recommending Zenith Kitchens."

As a parent, one of the most important things you can do for your child's well-being is ensure they eat a healthy, balanced diet. Maybe had one of those weeks where the only green thing that's gone into your child's mouth is a green toy? You might already know how difficult it can be to get children to eat even the smallest spoonful of spinach, let alone the recommended five portions of vegetables and fruit a day. Fortunately, there are many easy ways to serve vegetables and fruits to your children, that should get them eating their five plus a day. Set the right example. Children learn what they live, making it vital that parents set the right example with their own food choices. If parents are routinely eating and snacking on unhealthy foods, how can children be expected to do any differently? Setting the right example to get children to eat right requires parental self-discipline. Parents need to provide loving and firm guidance in making healthy and wise choices regarding food and snacks. It is most important to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits yourself. If you model positive behaviors, chances are your kids will copy you. Watch your body and facial expression as well when you try something new. Offer your children many different types of foods and let them see you eat and enjoy various foods, especially fruit and vegetables. In infancy, children often get fruit and vegetable baby foods, once they start eating table food, what you eat is going to be a big influence on what your kids like to eat. If you rarely serve vegetables with meals or eat fruit, don't be surprised if your kids develop the same habit. Expect some resistance and be ready to deal with it. Children typically do not like changes being made to their routines, so expect children to express their dislike to newly implemented changes in the family meal plan. Calmly explain that "this is what we're having for dinner", and if children adamantly refuse to eat the planned meal, simply cover it and save it for when they say they're hungry. Remember, your home is not a cafeteria-style restaurant where children dictate what they will or will not eat. When the child later says they are hungry, simply say "Well that's good because I saved your dinner for you", then reheat as needed. Explain to children what each vegetable contains by way of providing healthy benefits. For example, carrots have vitamin A which is good for skin and eyes. Make the connections between food and what it does for our bodies. Get the children involved with kitchen preparation. For example, have them help when making salads or main meals together. They will be able to recognize what they are eating if they get to see it and feel it. It's also a great chance to discuss the food and get to understand its value better. Choose healthy snacks for children such as fresh fruit and vegetables with tasty dips. Keep healthy snacks well-stocked at home, readily available and easily accessible for children to grab. Save cookies and other sugar coated treats for an occasional sweet treat or special occasions. Never get into the habit of giving children cookies or other sugary treats when the family meal is being prepared or is almost ready to be served. Consider offering a couple of bites of the vegetables or salad already planned for the meal to tide them over. Take advantage of after school hunger. When your children come home, have a plate ready with crunchy celery, carrots, and cucumbers on it. Serve it with dip if it makes it more enticing for them. Have fresh, already cut vegetables for car trips or walks. Kids eat a lot when they are hungry or even bored, and if it's already prepared, they'll easily snack on the healthy foods. Try a different vegetable every day and prepare it in different ways. Vegetables can be served, raw, baked, steamed, grilled, in a salad, in juice form, stir-fried and broiled. Try a wide variety and in different ways until you find the vegetables that your child will like and in the style, they will like to eat them in. Mix the vegetables into your child's favorite meal. If your child likes macaroni and cheese, make it with steamed broccoli or peas mixed in. If your child likes spaghetti, mix in tomatoes, mushrooms, or peas and carrots into the sauce. Sometimes mixing right into their favorite foods makes them eat it without even noticing. Try juicing vegetables and mixing with fruit. Make your child part of the juicing experience and they may be more inclined to drink them. Combinations such as carrot, apple, and celery juice are usually sweet to the taste and a big hit. Don't juice too often. It's far healthier to eat the food than to drink it. Offer vegetables and fruit with dip. Most children love to dip items (i.e French fries in ketchup) so provide them dipping choices such as a salad dressing they might like and let them dip away. Always make vegetables ready to at and available with lunch, dinner, and snack. By having them readily, available your child will eat when they are ready. Find foods that your kids already like to eat, like smoothies, muffins, or yogurt. Find recipes that allow you to add fruit or vegetables to them, like banana or zucchini muffins. Offer visually appealing vegetable and fruit. Try edible faces with carrot circles for eyes, strips of pepper for eyebrows, baby sweet corn for the nose and broccoli pieces for the mouth. Kids will enjoy helping with the composition, especially if you deliberately make a few anatomical mistakes. Add wild hairdos with shredded cabbage, watercress, or courgette ribbons. Introduce color into your children's diet with stir-frying. It is quick, so they get to see instant results. Try stir-frying peas, pepper strips, bean sprouts, and Chinese cabbage, or a mixture of sweet corn, small chunks of carrot and peas. Don't overcook vegetables. Steaming or microwaving retains more nutrients than boiling. Although babies need mushy textures, older children prefer a little 'bite' and may like to eat their vegetables as finger foods. Hide the vegetables. You can easily hide finely grated cauliflower and zucchini in rice, You can get puree pumpkin or squash and add it to spaghetti sauce or chili. But don't ever tell them or they may not eat that item again. Do the 50 percent rule. For example, when making a salad, substitute 50 percent lettuce and 50 percent salad. Slowly introduce other vegetables this way. Take advantage of texture. Cut up cabbage as finely as possible––you will be surprised how good it tastes on fish tacos or even burgers. The crunchy texture really appeals to children. Bargain with the children. For example, they can have popcorn with their movie if they eat some carrot and celery sticks with dinner. Grow vegetables and fruit in your garden. Children not only will respect the time and care it takes for food to grow but the responsibility of watering and weeding it will be another bonus. Make the most of visitors. Sometimes children will eat when other children are around. It's great to try new foods at birthday parties, play dates, and sleepovers. Can I deep fry vegetables? You can deep fry most vegetables, but this basically defeats the purpose if you're trying to get your children to eat healthy. My child is 11. She doesn't eat vegetables and fruits. She hasn't eaten an apple or an orange for the last 4 years! I'm concerned for her health. What should I do? This is definitely very unhealthy. Fruits and vegetables help your child grow. Try making rice dishes. You can blend fruits and vegetables into the rice. You can also try making smoothies. If nothing else works, take your child to the doctor. If you haven't already, have a talk with her about the importance of eating these things. Tell her that she will not get bigger or grow stronger without the right nutrients. You can be sneaky and mix the vegetables into a hamburger mixture for vegetable meatloaf. Add chopped fruit, especially berries and bananas, to your child's cereal. Offer a fruit salad, with a mix of watermelon, grapes, and strawberries as a dessert or snack. Mix fruit pieces in with yogurt or serve them with a dip. Make a snack mix with raisins, nuts and cereal. Mix in some chopped fruit with gelatin for fruit jelly or jello. Let your children pick the fruit they want to eat when you go shopping. It will be trial and error, but have fun maybe you may discover a new favorite vegetable or fruit too! Try giving chocolate coated fruit, like raisins or apples. Being a good example is crucial so be sure to eat vegetables and fruits which will encourage children to follow that example. wikiHow is a "wiki," similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors.

I don't think a single season of The Biggest Loser has gone by without some of the contestants complaining that they miss their chicken wings. At first I created a lighter buffalo wing plate with the typical wings, carrot sticks, celery sticks, and blue cheese dressing — just like you'd get at the local bar. But then I realized that the components would be excellent if turned into a meat loaf. So here it is. Just be cautious of wing sauces with too much sodium. The brands with less sodium often have a bit more fat, but since you tend to use such a small amount they're generally a better choice. And look for a thick, all-natural sauce, but definitely not a thin one like Tabasco; I like to use Wing-Time Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly mist a 9″ x 5″ x 3″ (slightly smaller is OK) nonstick loaf pan with the olive oil spray. Combine the oats and milk in a medium mixing bowl and stir to mix. Let stand for 3 minutes, or until the oats begin to soften. Stir in the wing sauce until well mixed. Add the chicken, celery, carrot, onion, egg whites, and salt. With a fork or clean hands, mix the ingredients well. Add the blue cheese and gently mix to combine.

I used to think that the price advertised was the end of the story. But after working with someone who used to get great deals all the time, I learned this isn't the way. For example now when I want to go on a weekend away, I pick a few hotels I like, check out all the various discount website prices, such as wotif.com, then I email the hotel direct and ask them for their best price. Almost every time they'll knock at least $10 off the price. If you're ever at a clothes shop and buying multiple items, it never hurts to ask if they could offer a deal. Another example, when I was buying my TV, I visited a few stores before choosing the TV, and then went to JB because they had an extra 10% off promotion, and lucky for me a staff member hadn't taken down the promotion that had ended the day before, and I insisted on getting that price as well as the 10% discount. It's all about realising that the stores need your business, and if you don't get the deal you want, there's plenty of other hotels, clothes and TVs out there, and they know that.

Today I have been scouting for new trap locations. Not much to report other than that I found this bone of moose. It is actually two bones, fused into one. I don't know which is which, but one is ulna and one is radius. This one is falling a bit apart, but when sharpened it's my favourite tool for graining and membraning skins. The radius is the larger and longer of the two in a human.

Braveheart Essay 626 WordsFeb 26, 20133 Pages Many historical movies had been made about people or group of people and their accomplishments or in some cases mistakes. This does not mean that the directors and producers do not know about history. It is just that for their own benefit, the directors, storywriters, producers and other people change some historical facts and even the attitudes of the characters in order to stimulate public interest. One of the movies that has historical inaccuracies in it is the movie "Braveheart." Even though the movie is somewhat accurate, it looks like the story-writer added some twists and turns to make it look interesting, without backing it up with accurate historical events. The historical inaccuracies in the movie "Braveheart" have several basic areas which include adding or deleting characters and inaccuracy regarding the lives and actions of historical figures. In addition to this, there also happens to be military inaccuracies as well as periods of time which the movie does not account and instead inserts fictional events to make the movie more entertaining rather than historically accurate. The first inaccuracy in the movie is about the character of William Wallace. In the movie, about his life, Wallace is introduced to the audience as a common man with very humble beginnings whose father was a farmer. In an article written by Emperor Barbosa, it says "However, he descended from a noble, Richard Wallace". Another inaccuracy is that William's wife's name was not Murron but it was Marion Braidfute. Now it is believed that William's wife was not killed in the way it was showed in the movie. There are many stories that historians think could be true. In the same article, it is written that "it is said that Wallace entered into a rebellion against the English because an English Sheriff of Lanark brutally killed Wallace's wife.

Rescued from Anonymity: The First Renaissance Woman on Display at the Uffizi Galleries Chiara Isabella Spagnoli Gabardi on May 4, 2017 at 2:03 am At the dawn of 2017, the prominent Uffizi Galleries in Florence have begun a long-term path for promoting female artists. One of the inaugural exhibitions is dedicated to Sister Plautilla Nelli, considered the first female Florentine painter. The self-taught nun-artist, who lived from 1524 to 1588, lived in the Dominican convent of St. Catherine of Siena located in Piazza San Marco, and was heavily influenced by the artwork of Fra Bartolomeo. The exhibit Plautilla Nelli: Convent Art and Devotion in the Footsteps of Savonarola, curated by Fausta Navarro, has come to life thanks to the initiative of AWA (Advancing Women Artists Foundation), a US organization and in particular to its founder, Jane Fortune. This exceptional female artist, heir to the illustrious artistic tradition of the "School of San Marco," expressed the spiritual values of Christian renewal preached by Fra Girolamo Savonarola, through her strongly devotional figurative depictions. Some defined Plautilla Nelli as the "First Renaissance Woman," others called her the "Artist Nun." No matter the epithet, the figure of Pulissena Margherita Nelli, who took the veil in the Dominican convent of Santa Caterina in Cafaggio in 1538 at the age of fourteen, encapsulated a very elegiac trait not only in her spiritual call, but also in her artwork. Though she was self-taught, Nelli grasped inspiration in the paintings of the mannerist artist Agnolo Bronzino and Renaissance painter Andrea del Sarto. What historians have noticed in her works, is the heightened sentiment she added to each of her characters' expressions. Plautilla produced works of high quality and led a true art workshop, with many students, as she learnt the craft herself: copying works and drawings and using other nuns as models. Nelli lacked any formal training and her male figures are said to have "feminine traits," as her religious vocation prohibited studying the nude male. However, Plautilla Nelli's religious themes were surprisingly noteworthy for the vivid portrayals of emotion on the faces of the people she illustrated, almost as if they were ready to lament their grief to viewers. Dr. Jane Fortune herself underlined the "raw emotional grief surrounding Christ's death as depicted through the red eyes and visible tears of its female figures" in the Lamentation Over The Dead Christ, an altar piece Plautilla painted for the church and convent of Santa Caterina, which is now in the Museo di San Marco. Another very fascinating trait about Nelli is that most of her works are large-scale, which was most uncommon for a woman to paint, during her time period. Other of her oeuvres that have gained recognition are a Last Supper, now in the convent of Santa Maria Novella, which is mentioned in Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects. Other works that have been attributed to her are a Pentecost for San Domenico in Perugia and lunettes depicting St. Dominic, the Crucifixion, and St. Catherine of Siena, now in the Refectory of San Salvi in Florence. After serving as prioress for three full terms, Sister Plautilla died on May 7th, 1588, and her artistic message was carried forward by the numerous nuns, who continued the work in the "sacred workshop" in the convent of Santa Caterina in Cafaggio. The Uffizi exhibit is not the first occasion where Advancing Women Artists Foundation tributes the Painter-Prioress of Renaissance Florence. Plautilla Nelli was featured in the AWA 2007 documentary produced by Art Media Studio, 'The Restoration of Lamentation with Saints: Plautilla Nelli,' as well as in the 2013 Emmy-winning PBS television documentary 'Invisible Women, Forgotten Artists of Florence.' The initiative of this organization, captained by the pioneering Jane Founder, undoubtedly reprises the public identity of illustrious women in history, rescuing them from anonymity.

She studied in a British school in Milan, graduated in Political Sciences, got her Masters in screenwriting and film production and studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York and Los Angeles. Chiara's "Material Puns" use wordplay to weld the title of the painting with the materials placed on canvas, through an ironic reinterpretation of Pop-Art, Dadaism and Ready Made. She exhibited her artwork in Milan, Rome, Venice, London, Oxford, Paris and Manhattan. Chiara works as a reporter for online, print, radio and television and also as a film festival PR/publicist.

Floyd's citation reads: "The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Boilermaker Edward Floyd, United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession while serving on board the U.S.S. Iowa, at the time of the blowing out of the manhole plate of Boiler D on board that vessel, 25 January 1905." Edward Floyd is buried in Charleston, South Carolina 1910: Ulster Unionists elect Sir Edward Carson as party leader. He would prove to be an inspired choice from the Unionist point of view. Edward Carson 1854-1935 Carson was a hugely effective leader of the Loyalist / Unionist movement in Northern Ireland which felt under siege as Irish nationalism drove Ireland (relentlessly as he saw it) to Irish independence from England.In particular, his skills in organizing effective Loyalist opposition to a proposed 1912 Home Rule act ensures he is seen by many today as an Ulster hero. He was a founding member of the Ulster Volunteers whose objective was to preserve a Protestant Ulster for a Protestant People. Different Perspectives on EDWARD CARSON 1922: An Garda Síochána Recruitment campaign commences for An Garda Síochána (Guardians of the Peace), the Irish police force. Candidates were to be at least 5′ 9″, unmarried and between the ages of 19 and 27. Michael Joseph Staines is the first Garda Commissioner. Garda Síochána circa 1923 2009: The Damaged Celtic Tiger Over 100,000 take to Dublin streets to protest the financial and banking crisis affecting Ireland. Unemployment rate in Ireland would jump from 4% (2008) to over 14% by 2011.

Fred Crawford – Larne Gun Runner. Richard Nixon on this day in Irish History November 5: TODAY in Irish History: 1940: Churchill Bemoans Loss of Irish Ports In the House of Commons Churchill bemoans the fact that the Irish ports had been returned to the Free State government in 1938. "The fact that we cannot use the South and West Coasts of Ireland to refuel our flotillas and aircraft and thus protect the trade by which Ireland as well as Great Britain lives, is a most heavy and grievous burden and one which should never have been placed on our shoulders, broad though they be." READ: Hansard November 5 1940 The question of the ports would prove to be a contentious issue throughout the war, but giving Britain access to them would almost certainly have doomed Ireland's efforts to maintain neutrality. 1952: Death of Larne Gunrunner Frederick Crawford. Crawford is one of the lesser known figures in Ulster Unionist history but one who was hugely influential because of his involvement in what is known as the Larne gun running incident when he was responsible for smuggling over 25,000 guns into the North on the night of April 24 1914. Fred Crawford Larne Gun Runner By 1912, Ulster Unionists were prepared to take desperate measures to ensure Ireland (or at least Ulster) stayed under English rule and not, as Loyalists saw it, be taken over by a Catholic dominated "foreign" culture which is how Unionists saw the general Irish nationalist movement. Crawford summed up this sentiment in his book Guns for Ulster when he wrote about the Scottish Protestant immigrants who settled in Ulster in the 1600-1700s. " From these settlers sprang a people, the Ulster-Scot, who have made themselves felt in the history of the British Empire and, in no small measure, in that of the United States of America." (See for instance Andrew Jackson.) He went on to write "I am ashamed to call myself an Irishman. Thank God I am not one. I am an Ulsterman, a very different breed." Crawford was strongly supported by other Loyalist politicians including Edward Carson who ironically was born in Dublin. The weapons went to arm The Ulster Volunteer Force in very public defiance of the rule (ironically) of British law. Some weeks after the Larne incident, Irish nationalists led by Countess Markievicz would land guns at Howth, Co Dublin literally in view of English authorities who failed to understand the nuances of a nation where Loyalists were prepared to fight Britain to stay part of Britain and Nationalists were prepared to fight Britain to gain independence from Britain. 1968: Richard Nixon elected President of the United States. Although, it is not something that we brag about as much as other Irish American presidents, Richard Nixon did have Irish connections on both sides. Nixon's maternal ancestor, Quaker Thomas Milhouse of Timahoe emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1729 probably due to religious persecution. Nixon visited Ireland in 1970.. The Nixon family with Irish Setter King Timahoe, named after his ancestor's birthplace in Ireland. Listen: Richard Nixon – The Forgotten Visit 1987: Death of Eamonn Andrews Andrews was the consummate broadcaster and television personality who was a regular and popular face on Irish and UK television for many years. Andrews is most famous for This Is Your Life which he hosted for 19 years. This writer's favorite episode of the show featured Andrews interviewing Muhammad Ali (who just happens to have Irish blood!) in an often hilarious program that showcased Ali at his very best. Andrews was also a gifted boxing commentator for the BBC.

The role of tissue transglutaminase (TG2) in regulating the tumour progression of the mouse colon carcinoma CT26 Panayiotis Kotsakis Zhuo Wang Russell John CollighanORCiD: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0204-5125 Martin Griffin The multifunctional enzyme tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is reported to both mediate and inhibit tumour progression. To elucidate these different roles of TG2, we established a series of stable-transfected mouse colon carcinoma CT26 cells expressing a catalytically active (wild type) and a transamidating-inactive TG2 (Cys277Ser) mutant. Comparison of the TG2-transfected cells with the empty vector control indicated no differences in cell proliferation, apoptosis and susceptibility to doxorubicin, which correlated with no detectable changes in the activation of the transcription factor NF-?B. TG2-transfected cells showed increased expression of integrin ß3, and were more adherent and less migratory on fibronectin than control cells. Direct interaction of TG2 with ß3 integrins was demonstrated by immunoprecipitation, suggesting that TG2 acts as a coreceptor for fibronectin with ß3 integrins. All cells expressed the same level of TGFß receptors I and II, but only cells transfected with active TG2 had increased levels of TGFß1 and matrix-deposited fibronectin, which could be inhibited by TG2 site-directed inhibitors. Moreover, only cells transfected with active TG2 were capable of inhibiting tumour growth when compared to the empty vector controls. We conclude that in this colon carcinoma model increased levels of active TG2 are unfavourable to tumour growth due to their role in activation of TGFß1 and increased matrix deposition, which in turn favours increased cell adhesion and a lowered migratory and invasive behaviour.

Kevin Spacey at Center of Second Potential Sexual Assault Case in LA Spacey's latest movie, "Billionaire Boys Club,'' was shown in 11 theaters last weekend and collected just $618, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Published at 1:55 pm on August 22, 2018 Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images, File "Star Trek: Discovery'' actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making a sexual advance when Rapp was 14. Spacey apologized, then came out as gay. Richard Dreyfuss' son, Harry, also accused Spacey of groping him in 2008. Los Angeles County prosecutors confirmed Wednesday they are reviewing a second potential sexual assault case involving actor Kevin Spacey. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department presented the potential case Tuesday, which is under review, according to the District Attorney's Office. No further details were disclosed. Another potential case against Spacey that was presented to the District Attorney's Office by the Sheriff's Department on April 5 remains under review, according to prosecutors. .medium .leadMediaRegion.city_module iframe {height:421px;} The two-time Oscar winner has been under fire following allegations by a number of men that he behaved inappropriately toward them. Spacey publicly apologized last October to "Star Trek: Discovery'' actor Anthony Rapp, who accused Spacey of making a sexual advance years ago in his New York apartment, when Spacey was 26 and Rapp was 14. Spacey said he does not remember the encounter, which would have occurred more than 30 years ago. "But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years,'' the actor said. Spacey then revealed that he is gay. Actor Richard Dreyfuss' son, Harry, subsequently alleged in an account on Buzzfeed.com that Spacey groped him in 2008 while he, his father and Spacey were in an apartment while Spacey was directing his dad in a play at the Old Vic in London. Spacey's publicist said in a statement last November that the actor was "taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment.'' Netflix announced last year that it had severed all ties with Spacey and that it would not be involved with any further production of "House of Cards'' that included him. Spacey won an Oscar for best actor in 1999 for "American Beauty'' and for best supporting actor in 1996 for "The Usual Suspects,'' along with a Golden Globe in 2015 for best actor in a TV series for "House of Cards.'' Following the allegations of sexual misconduct, he was removed from his role in "All The Money in the World'' -- a role for which his replacement, Christopher Plummer, received an Academy Award nomination this year.

The SDLC includes four main phases: planning, development, testing, and deployment. In each of these phases, different activities take place in order to create a working system. The SDLC is a well-defined process that is used by organizations to create information systems. The four main phases of the SDLC are planning, development, testing, and deployment. Each of these phases has different activities that need to be completed in order to create a working system. The SDLC is an important process for organizations to use when creating information systems. By following the SDLC, organizations can ensure that their systems are developed correctly and meet all of the necessary requirements. Engineering As our world becomes more and more complex, the need for systems engineering becomes more and more important. Systems engineering is the process of designing and managing complex systems. It is a interdisciplinary field that combines elements of engineering, science, and business. Systems engineering is used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, chemical, computer, electronics, industrial, and software engineering. It is also used in fields such as architecture, urban planning, and project management. There are many different approaches to systems engineering, but all share a common goal: to create a system that is efficient, effective, and robust. The systems engineering process begins with a needs analysis. This is followed by the development of a concept of operations, which is a high-level description of the system. Once the concept of operations is approved, the system is designed. The design phase includes the development of detailed specifications for the system, as well as the development of a model or prototype. After the design is complete, the system is built and tested. Once the system is operational, it is monitored and maintained. Systems engineering is an important tool for managing the complexity of our world. It is a process that can help us create systems that are efficient, effective, and robust. of Linear Equations In conclusion, systems of linear equations are a powerful tool for solving a wide variety of problems. By understanding the basics of how they work, you can unlock a whole new world of mathematical possibility. 1. Solar Photovoltaic (Pv) Systems image.slidesharecdn.com are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. Solar PV systems are often used as an alternative to traditional grid-tied electricity systems. Solar PV systems can be used to power anything from a small appliance to an entire home or business. Solar PV systems are becoming more popular as the cost of traditional grid-tied electricity continues to rise. There are a few things to consider when choosing a solar PV system. The first is the size of the system. The second is the location of the system. The third is the type of system. The size of the system will be determined by the amount of electricity you need to generate. Solar PV systems come in a variety of sizes. The location of the system is important because it needs to be in a place that gets plenty of sunlight. The type of system is important because there are different types of solar PV systems. The most common type of solar PV system is the grid-tied system. Grid-tied systems are connected to the traditional power grid. This means that when the sun is shining, the solar PV system will generate electricity and when the sun is not shining, the grid will provide electricity. The second type of solar PV system is the off-grid system. Off-grid systems are not connected to the traditional power grid. This means that the solar PV system will need to generate all of the electricity needed to power the home or business. Solar PV systems are a great way to save money on your electric bill. They are also a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Solar PV systems are a great investment for your home or business. 2. Solar Thermal Systems can be used for domestic hot water, space heating, and cooling. Solar thermal systems are a type of renewable energy technology that can be used for domestic hot water, space heating, and cooling. Solar thermal systems work by using solar panels to collect heat from the sun and then use that heat to generate electricity or to heat water. Solar thermal systems are a great way to reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and save money on your energy bills. Solar thermal systems are a great way to save money on your energy bill. Solar thermal systems use the sun's energy to heat water or air, which can then be used to heat your home or business. Solar thermal systems are a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and save money on your energy bill. can be used for domestic hot water and space heating, as well as for cooling and industrial process heat. Solar thermal systems are a great way to generate renewable energy and save money on your energy bill. Solar thermal systems can be used for domestic hot water and space heating, as well as for cooling and industrial process heat. Solar thermal systems are a great investment for your home or business. 3. Solar Power Towers The Solar Power Tower, also known as a Central Tower Power Plant or a Heliostat Power Plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive the concentrated sunlight. It uses an array of flat, mirror-like heliostats (large mirrors) to focus the sun's rays upon a collector tower (a central receiving station). The concentrated light is then used as a heat source for a conventional power plant. Solar power towers can be more efficient than photovoltaic cells, and can produce electricity at a lower cost. They are therefore being increasingly considered as a potential renewable energy source. The first solar power tower was built in the 1980s, and there are now a number of power plants in operation around the world. The largest is the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California, which has a capacity of 392 MW. 4. Solar Dish Systems Solar dish systems are a type of solar power system that uses mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a receiver. The receiver is typically a heat engine that converts the sun's heat into mechanical or electrical energy. Solar dish systems are generally used in very sunny areas, as they require direct sunlight to operate. They are most commonly used in large scale commercial and industrial applications, but can also be used in residential settings. Solar dish systems are one of the most efficient types of solar power systems. They use a large dish to collect sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. Solar dish systems are usually used in commercial or industrial settings, but they can also be used in homes. Solar dish systems are most effective in areas that get a lot of sunlight, such as the southwestern United States. Solar dish systems are a type of concentrated solar power (CSP) technology that uses mirrors to reflect and focus sunlight onto a receiver. The receiver, which is usually a large metal plate, absorbs the heat and transfers it to a fluid or gas that powers a generator to produce electricity. Solar dish systems are usually used in remote locations where there is no access to the grid, but they can also be used to supplement power from the grid. Solar dish systems are more expensive than other types of solar power systems, but they are also more efficient. Solar dish systems are a promising technology that could help to meet the world's growing demand for energy. However, further research and development is needed to improve the efficiency of the systems and reduce the cost.

This two day workshop seeks to systematically outline and guide you through, some of the fundamental principles that lead to a comprehensive proficiency for drawing the human figure. The practice of life drawing will be analysed in terms of geometry and perspective; the figure's gesture, weight and action; the role of convexed lines to suggest volume and a brief analysis of human anatomy, starting with the major masses of the skeleton and concluding with an analysis of each major muscle groups of the human body. Morning Class – The human figure and linear direction: With a life model in the morning, we will start with stick figure drawings – an invaluable tool in describing the major centre lines of the human figure – we will gradually work towards conceiving the human form in terms of two directional lines and basic geometric shapes, such as cylinders and cubes. Afternoon Class – The Charles Bargue drawing course and the figure as directional lines: In this class, we will look at how a Nineteenth Century drawing course undertaken by Van Gogh, Seurat and Picasso can help us to better simplify the basic forms of the human figure. Morning Class – Gesture and action with basic anatomical masses, landmarks and limited convexed contours: We will examine how the life model's action relates to the directional weight of any pose. Basic skeletal masses and landmarks will also be examined. Afternoon Class – Basic anatomy and the figure as line and contour: Directional lines will begin to be replaced by more undulating convexed descriptions of form. We will consider how line and overlapping convexed contours can suggest volume without necessarily the need for shaded rendering. The major muscle groups of the human body will also be introduced. Identify how the placement of the model's weight coincides with the figure's action. Understand and grasp the processes of conceptualising, selecting and creatively inventing from the figure. Have the ability to apply a basic knowledge of human anatomy to figure drawing, including the basic skeletal masses of the figure and muscle groups.

Evidence does not justify trial court's issuance of preliminary injunction, under California's Uniform Trade Secrets Act, prohibiting defendant's publication of digital versatile disc decryption software on the Internet, since record indicates that decryption software had been so widely distributed that encryption technology may have lost its trade secret status by time plaintiff sought preliminary injunction. The case involved the trial court granting DVD CCA's request for preliminary injunction and entered an order prohibiting defendants from posting, disclosing, or distributing DeCSS (a computer program allegedly containing DVD CCA's trade secrets) or related proprietary material. (DVD Copy Control Association Inc. v. Bunner, 69 USPQ2d 1907, Ca CtApp, 2/27/04). Plaintiffs in action for patent infringement are entitled to discovery of information concerning third party's polymeric films in connection with issue of patent validity, even if it is assumed that information sought is trade secret, since there is no absolute privilege to protect trade secrets from disclosure during discovery, and plaintiffs have established that information is relevant to subject matter of underlying suit and necessary for them to prepare for trial.

I was finally able to go for my first "run" since the Bear 100 — about an hour, mellow page, on smooth dirt singletrack. The plan was to test my right foot for impact pain, but I was too busy focused on complaints from other body parts to really make an honest assessment. Tired quads. Aching shoulders. Shredded abs and hip flexors. All common maladies of a brand new singlespeeder. I can't say I completely understand the appeal yet, but I will say I have a whole new respect for singlespeed mountain biking. It demands nothing less than full attack mode on uphills and hip-flexor-tearing RPMs upon descent. More experienced singlespeeders tell me one-gear Zen requires patience more than power, but whenever I set my feet to my rapidly spinning platform pedals, all I can see is red. It doesn't help that the Karate Monkey is the only bike I've ridden this week, and some of those rides were really ambitious — climbing 5,000 vertical feet on Lolo mountain, for example. No wonder my abs hurt. I decided to take a break from it all with a mellow road ride after work on my commuter, which is a fixed-gear bike. That bike's single gear is quite a bit taller than my mountain bike, but I've only ever ridden it on the meandering bike path into downtown, and a few roads here and there, and once on a gravel rail trail, so I never had any real comprehension of how my fixie could be more work to operate than any other bike I own. I spun easy toward Hellgate Canyon and started cranking harder as the grade turned slightly higher than flat. Missoula's endless availability of quality off-pavement riding has spoiled me to the point that I find riding with traffic to be completely intolerable, so I took the first opportunity I saw to turn off the main road — Marshall Canyon. The road grade shot skyward and I stood in the saddle, pressing hard on my sore quads and straining my aching abs for the torque I needed to continue moving forward. It was hard singlespeed work again, but it felt really good, moving up a steady grade on a smooth surface. I worked harder. Sweat poured down my neck and drenched my jeans. When it came time to turn back, I took a break to catch my ragged breath and look with satisfaction far down the canyon and all the elevation I had gained. And then I started downhill. At first, the road grade favored my desired speed, but the descent quickly took a turn for the steeper. The pedals churned faster and I touched the front brake ever so lightly, loathe to resist any free distance that gravity was perfectly willing to provide. The bike simply responded by charging faster, yanking my knees up and down with revelry as I strained my oh-so-sore quads against the pedals' care-free spin. I squeezed on the brake harder and braced my leg muscles more rigidly, but momentum was winning. My hip flexors responded angrily ... "We thought you were done with this nonsense." "It's not my fault," I muttered feebly. I fought an urge to take my feet off the pedals — fixie coasting — but resisted because I had no idea what lie around the next canyon bend and how fast I'd have to brake to avoid hitting it. So I just gripped the front brake, ducked in, and let the pedals rip my legs to little shreds all the way down to the relative peace of Hellgate Canyon. I have GOT to get at least one of my geared bikes repaired. On the bright side, I really think my foot is well on the mend. I am looking forward to running again, which will probably feel easy in comparison. Until I blew up my knees (arthritis in both of them-missing the ACL in one of them) a few years ago....I loved single speeding. It makes you way better on the bike. How many of those gears do people actually use? I know when I do ride my geared mtn. bike (which occurred only 3-4 times this year) I only used about 4 gears. Seems like a lot of extra weight for no reason. SS riding does make you a better and stronger rider. The other benefit is far less maintenance and cleaning. Plus, I hate all those extra cables. I love single-speed bikes on flat trails like the Tammany Trace in Louisiana. But I admire those of you who can handle mountain bike terrain on a singlespeed. You are definitely a hearty breed. Do you mind if I live vicariously through your blog? I love my SS MTB and Road bike, but I won't do the fixie thing. I ride too many hills and downhill on a fixie just looks too darn painful! Let's be honest, if no one is watching and you just have a few hours to ride by yourself, which bike are you going to choose? I built up a fixie a few years back and it lasted 2 weeks. I converted it to a singlespeed since and that hasn't gotten much use either. Maybe I don't have enough "tude" or tats to hang with the fixie crowd and it is hard not to notice them scoff at my helmet and spandex every time I pass. Singlespeeders are only slightly less condescending. I just want one of them admit that it isn't about one gear, it's about image (gasp!). Gears are a beautiful invention, let's all embrace them (even if 30 gears is 20 speeds too many). Jill, don't give into your subconcious need to belong to the single speed subculture! You are to self aware and honest part of you craves those gears. Lactic acid is way over rated. SS bikes and fixies make you neither better not stronger. At best, they won't ruin your knees. I realise that in today's fad-driven world, calling out fixies and the like as the useless throwback junkers that they are qualifies me as a dork; but I am a dork whose pain comes from being out of shape, not from the knees straining to handle immense forces on the climbs and crazy RPMs on the descents. Come back from the brink! I ride a single-speed/fixed gear (flip-flop hub) for commuting and shorter rides (less than 20 miles), and have played with it on the trails a bit. It makes me hyper-aware of my surroundings. Kind of like the way biking on a road instead of driving a car on the same road makes a person more aware of everything around. I love it. And I go back and forth between fixed and single-speed, depending on my mood. It's simple, very little maintenance, and I love the way it looks, so clean and sleek with no cables or gears. I also own a geared mtn bike and a nice road bike. I love all my bikes, but have to admit to a special fondness for my Bianchi Pista. I probably look like a dork no matter which bike I ride, so there is certainly no snobbery involved. Glad to see you are experiencing the full range of bicycling options, and that you enjoy them all, too. That's what it's all about.

Kindle Countdown for "Ask Me Anything: A Memoir" September 13, 2014 by Susan Marg 1 Comment Ask Me Anything, the memoir I wrote with Marie Rudisill, is available as an ebook. A Kindle Countdown is underway, starting at $.99 today. Then the price goes up each day. On Wednesday, it will be $8.99, its list price. Why wait? See what Marie has to say – about her upbringing in Monroeville, Alabama, her nephew Truman Capote, taking on the Big Apple, giving the Big Orange a squeeze when she appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Well into her nineties she became a television celebrity, going mouth to mouth with anyone who asked her a question or sought help with a problem. She always had an answer on the tip of her tongue. Here are a few of Marie's many bon mots about the places she's been and the people she's met: "I was certainly never one to play it safe. If I had wanted to play it safe, I would have stayed in Alabama." "In New York City where are the flowers? Where are the trees? If you open the window to get some fresh air, your apartment is filled with soot. You think you don't have soot? Well, just run your finger over the windowsill and see what happens. That grimy, black stuff is soot." "I have met the most wonderful people in the world in the [publishing] business. Some of them have even lived in New York City." "I never got to experience the traffic for which Los Angeles is so famous. It was just as well, as I have a feeling that the stop and go pace would have driven me right up the wall." "Celebrities are people, too. They might live in big houses by the ocean and have more money than God, but they don't deserve special attention in my book." "Florida is not a Southern state, not to me. It has no history, no civility, no gentility. It's all flip flops, short shorts, and hairy legs." Ask "The Fruitcake Lady," and get ready. You never know what she'll say next.

August 30, 2014 by Susan Marg 2 Comments I just finished reading Stephen King's On Writing. It's a memoir of sorts, first published in 2000. In the first one hundred pages he recalls stories of his growing up, describing how he became a writer. Actually, King was born a writer, but how he became a successful writer is quite a story, from magazines rejecting his short stories to the first publication of one of his novels, Carrie. Written in 1973 while King was teaching school and living in a $90 a month apartment with a wife and kids to support, it changed everything. Jack Torrance's typewriter in the movie "The Shining," based on King's novel. Photo by: China Crisis. In the second half of his book he gives a lot of advice about writing, particularly for wannabe novelists. His prime rule consists of four words: Read. Write. A lot. King reads because he likes to read, but he also notes, "If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that." One of the pleasures in King's book is that he names names — Charles Dickens, Margaret Mitchell, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, John Grisham, Tom Wolfe, J.K. Rowling, and many, many more through the ages. When he's discussing style, plot development, character development, dialogue, and symbolism, he gives lots of examples, both from his works, as well as from others. For a book on the tools of the book trade, it's never boring and surprisingly entertaining. King also goes into detail on his run-in with a light blue Dodge van in 1999, while he was walking on a country road. The van hit him, and King suffered horrific injuries, including broken bones and a collapsed lung, and endured multiple surgeries. The quick arrival of emergency personnel saved his life. Physical therapy sped his recovery process. Eventually, he began writing again. With the publication of several short story collections and full-length works, such as Doctor Sleep and Mr. Mercedes, over the past decade, it's safe to say that he's back and in fine form. Are you trying to decide what to read this weekend? Do want to improve your prose? Or, are you looking for a pick-me-up? Pick up a copy of On Writing by Stephen King. (Oh, that's corny. But apt.)

I'm pleased to say that the reviewer awarded it five out of five stars. Ask Me Anything is available from Amazon. The print book has a discount from its list price of $14.95, and the ebook is $8.99, unless you have signed up for Kindle Unlimited. Then it's FREE. Word-of-mouth is crucial for any author to succeed. If you enjoy the book, please leave a review. Even if it's just a sentence or two. It would make all the difference and would be very much appreciated. And now, a 5 star review by Jack Magnus from Readers Favorites: Ask Me Anything is a memoir written by Marie Rudisill with Susan Marg. Marie Rudisill is known to late night television watchers as the Fruitcake Lady. Her letter, written in 2000 to Jay Leno, defending the honor of the fruitcake, prompted his invitation to her to appear on "The Tonight Show." She was 89 years old at the time. Her appearance was such a success that she was invited back again and again. She taught celebrities how to make fruitcakes and would answer just about any question posed by members of the audience. When the trip out to the West Coast became too difficult for Rudisill, Leno would send out a crew to do her segments at her home. Rudisill was a product of the old South, and this memoir is filled with stories of her life as a child in Monroeville, Alabama. When her father died after an accident, her cousin Jenny took in the widow and her five children. Rudisill's mother also died several years after, and Jenny raised the three older sisters as her own. Jenny was a self-made woman who built a small millinery business into a thriving department store, and built the rambling house with extensive gardens where she, her siblings and their young cousins lived. Co-author Marg worked extensively with Rudisill on this memoir until Rudisill's death in 2006. Marie Rudisill's memoir, Ask Me Anything, is blunt, outspoken and charming, all at once. I immediately felt at home reading her story, even if I did cringe sometimes at some of her statements. Her stories of her childhood in the big house with the flamboyant, and rather alarming, Jenny and her other cousins are marvelous, especially the kitchen wars and the legendary bullwhip Jenny carried around. Rudisill was also Truman Capote's aunt and she considered him her favorite nephew. Her stories of their friendship and later falling out were parts of Ask Me Anything that I particularly enjoyed. Rudisill and co-author, Marg, are a wonderful writing team. The memoir reads beautifully, with Rudisill's voice coming forth loudly and clearly, even if she was in her mid-nineties as they worked together. While she's no longer with us, she's still very much here in spirit as evinced in Ask Me Anything. I very much enjoyed getting to know Marie Rudisill through her memoir and highly recommend it. Filed Under: Her Story Tagged With: family advice, Fruitcake Lady, Marie Rudisill, memoir, television celebrity, the South, Tonight Show, Truman Capote Windmills of Her Mind July 13, 2014 by Susan Marg Leave a Comment I recently published Marie Rudisill's memoir, Ask Me Anything, which I wrote with her in the last year of her life. It's been on my mind, so I hope you'll forgive me as a move away from my usual blog themes to blog about this book. Marie had been called many things: irreverent, sassy, brash, even rude, and, certainly, too old to be crude. You get the idea, if you didn't know her as "The Fruitcake Lady" from The Tonight Show. With host Jay Leno and special guests including Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson, she made fruitcakes, mixing up the batter with plenty of fast talk and worldly advice. Well into her nineties, she became a television celebrity, going mouth to mouth with anyone who asked her a question or sought help with a problem. She always had an answer on the tip of her tongue. But Marie was more than a pop culture phenomenon. She had seen a lot and accomplished even more when she passed away at 95 years old. She was Southern to the core, yet she took on the Big Apple. When she settled in the Carolinas, she undertook one venture after another – writing cookbooks, selling antiques, and operating a restaurant or two. Family, too, was a big part of Marie's life. She was close to her nephew Truman Capote, and their falling out over some paperweights hurt her deeply. She retired to Florida with her husband to be near their son, yet yearned to return to her sweet Alabama hometown. Ask Me Anything covers a lot of ground, telling Marie's story from the beginning to the end. She also had much to say about various topics – talking to teenagers, surviving a hurricane, and, of course, baking a perfect fruitcake, and I was only too happy to go along with whatever was on her mind. Here's how we got started. How I Hooked Up with "The Fruitcake Lady." From the Introduction to Ask Me Anything. Marie always made me laugh. She was feisty and funny, and like her television character, "The Fruitcake Lady" from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, she gave as good as she got. For an old lady, and at ninety-five years of age she was getting up there, she never took guff from anyone, always speaking her mind, telling it like it is. I only got to know Marie the last year of her life although my husband, Jim Simmons, had known her for over twenty-five years. He was her collaborator on the two books she had written on the background and upbringing of her nephew, Truman Capote. In late fall of 2005 she asked him if he would be interested in working with her on another book, possibly about her sister Lillie Mae, who was Truman's mother. Jim was in the middle of a couple of projects and didn't think he had the time to devote to something new. Besides, she had always given him a difficult time when they were working together. Who needs that? But he didn't say "no," it was hard to say "no" to Marie, and they stayed in touch. In December of that same year we were watching Marie on what would be her last appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. We were laughing along with everyone else as she did her "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" shtick, bullying and berating members of the audience for their silly questions and ridiculous complaints. Suddenly it occurred to me that Marie herself would be a terrific subject for a book. Jim thought I was onto something, as long as it was my undertaking, not his, which I must confess was not my original intent. Still, I agreed. When Jim broached the subject with Marie, she didn't think twice about it. Just like that, I had a new book in the works. Ask Me Anything, ISBN 978-0-578-14318-7, is a 195-page quality paperback book consisting of nine chapters. Topics cover growing up, family ties, and family feuds, as well as becoming a celebrity on The Tonight Show. An ebook is also available.

June 30, 2014 by Susan Marg 5 Comments Memoirs continue to be popular. The best of the lot read like fiction. There's a beginning, middle, and end, but events are not necessarily presented in chronological order. We learn about a life, while the facts, even if they're simply emotional recollections, resonate with our lives. Photo by: Urban Muser Moss Hart's Act One, first published in 1960, is now a Broadway musical. It's been described as a "funny, heartbreaking, and suspenseful portrait of the artist as a young man." Jeanette Walls' 2005 The Glass Castle has sold 2.5 million copies and was translated into twenty-two languages. It's now in development in the capable hands of Jennifer Lawrence, who plans not only to star in the film version, but also to produce the movie. Writers often get around to telling their own story. Most recently, Frances Mayes, known for her personal reflections on living in Italy, including Under the Tuscan Sun, penned her autobiography, detailing her coming of age in rural Georgia. So, too, do actors, who continue to act. Andrew McCarthy actually became a writer who travels or a traveler who writes. I'm not sure which came first. Molly Ringwald wrote Getting the Pretty Back, half memoir and half guide to girl things. Rob Lowe's two autobiographies have been well received. Yes, the 1980s Brat Pack have done all right in the writing department. The cast members from Beverly Hills 90210, now in their forties, are a prolific bunch, too. Shannen Doherty put out a guide to being a badass, if not a bad girl, something she knows about all too well. Jenny Garth found time to share her triumphs and tribulations as a single working Mom, and Tori Spelling continues to spill her guts, both on television and in print. And, this just in: Jason Priestley: A Memoir was recently released. As far as the stories Priestley tells of his costars in the 1990s drama series, Doherty notes, "I always say that everyone has their own version of the truth, and memories are very funny things."

The competition was created to acknowledge self-publishers and small and independent presses that go the extra mile to produce high quality books, from eye-catching design to well-written content. Judges represent all aspects of the industry and include publishers, writers, editors, book cover designers and professional copywriters. Author Susan Marg entered her book Hollywood or Bust in the category "Arts& Entertainment." It was the perfect fit. Hollywood or Bust consists of over five hundred quips, quotes, and off-the-cuff remarks of actors, directors, writers, and others involved in making movies and conveys what Hollywood insiders think of themselves, their lives, their fame, their careers, each other, and the town itself. Marg is pleased that this well-regarded organization recognized her efforts. "Hollywood or Bust was a lot of work, but it was fun to research and put together," she comments, adding, "It's a fun read, too – like overhearing a conversation at Starbucks." Hollywood or Bust, ISBN 978-0-578-11882-6, is a 182-page paperback book consisting of seven chapters and twenty original photographs. Topics cover dreams of success to attending the Oscars. It lists for $14.95. Susan Marg is the author of Las Vegas Weddings: A Brief History, Celebrity Gossip, Everything Elvis, and the Complete Chapel Guide, published by HarperCollins. Since she has moved her field of focus from the City of Lights to the City of Angels, her interest in popular culture has only intensified.

Confidential" in 1998 Filed Under: Culture Quiz Tagged With: Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actress, Kim Basinger, LA Confidential, movies, Oscars February 23, 2014 by Susan Marg 2 Comments Johnny Carson hosted the Academy Awards in 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, and again in 1984. In his first appearance he quipped, "Welcome to the 51st Academy Awards, two hours of sparkling entertainment spread over a four-hour show." While the telecast might seem to go on for hours and hours, the awards ceremony did not go over four hours until March 1999 when Whoopi Goldberg hosted. At two minutes after the four-hour mark, Shakespeare in Love took Best Picture. The following year when Billy Crystal was host and American Beauty won, the show went 4 hours 4 minutes. Ever since, the telecast has been under four hours, except in March 2002 when, again, Whoopi Goldberg hosted. Lasting 4 hours 23 minutes, the evening finally ended when A Beautiful Mind took Best Picture. How will Ellen DeGeneres do? She received a Primetime Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program" when she hosted the 79th Academy Awards in 2007. In case you're wondering, the show went 3 hours 51 minutes and The Departed won. As for her appearance this year, she says, "I am so excited to be hosting the Oscars for the second time. You know what they say — the third time's the charm." They also say, "It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log…" Filed Under: Culture Quiz Tagged With: Academy Awards, Ellen DeGeneres, Johnny Carson, Oscars, Whoopi Goldberg

Differential association between HERG and KCNE1 or KCNE2 Sung Yon Um, Thomas V. McDonald The small proteins encoded by KCNE1 and KCNE2 have both been proposed as accessory subunits for the HERG channel. Here we report our investigation into the cell biology of the KCNE-HERG interaction. In a co-expression system, KCNE1 was more readily co-precipitated with co-expressed HERG than was KCNE2. When forward protein trafficking was prevented (either by Brefeldin A or engineering an ER-retention/ retrieval signal onto KCNE cDNA) the Intracellular abundance of KCNE2 and its association with HERG markedly increased relative to KCNE1. HERG co-localized more completely with KCNE1 than with KCNE2 in all the membrane-processing compartments of the cell (ER, Golgi and plasma membrane). By surface labeling and confocal immunofluorescence, KCNE2 appeared more abundant at the cell surface compared to KCNE1, which exhibited greater colocalization with the ER-marker calnexin. Examination of the extracellular culture media showed that a significant amount of KCNE2 was extracellular (both soluble and membrane-vesicle-assodated). Taken together, these results suggest that during biogenesis of channels HERG is more likely to assemble with KCNE1 than KCNE2 due to distinctly different trafficking rates and retention in the cell rather than differences in relative affinity. The final channel subunit constitution, in vivo, is likely io be determined by a combination of relative cell-to-cell expression rates and differential protein processing and trafficking. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0000933 Agricultural and Biological Sciences(all) 10.1371/journal.pone.0000933 Fingerprint Dive into the research topics of 'Differential association between HERG and KCNE1 or KCNE2'.

Scotland sets up anti-child trafficking unit as number of Vietnamese victims rises By Sen &nbspNovember 30, 2019 | 08:24 pm GMT+7 Many children have been trafficked to Scotland under false promises of a better life. Photo by Shutterstock/Eakachai Leesin. A police unit has been set up in Scotland to combat child trafficking on concerns that many foreign minors, including Vietnamese, are being exploited. "The number of people, mainly adults but including children, reported trafficked from Vietnam to Scotland continues to rise," Detective Superintendent Filippo Capaldi, head of the Scotland police's national human trafficking unit, said. "Many of these people will have come to Scotland, and the U.K., under false promises of a better life, only to find themselves victims of exploitation by criminal gangs." This year 397 referrals have been received by the unit, half about Vietnamese victims, 90 of them ostensibly minors. It represents a 20 percent increase from last year. The victims of trafficking or smuggling usually do not contact the police directly but come to their attention in other ways. "One of them is to be reported to the police by either members of the public or other agencies," Brenda Irons-Roberts, a communications officer in the police department, said. She declined to discuss details about individuals with whom the police are dealing since they are potential victims of trafficking by criminal gangs and there could be risks associated with this. Capaldi said a number of initiatives are being developed with his unit's partners to ensure that when potential victims are identified they receive the support they need. "This includes ensuring any children identified are protected and receive the full support of Scotland's well-developed child protection." The majority are trafficked for forced labor, according to the U.K. National Referral Mechanism, which identifies potential victims of modern slavery and ensures they receive the appropriate support. Information about the elite squad comes a few weeks after the tragedy in which 39 Vietnamese people were found dead in the back of a truck near London. The youngest victims were 15. While trafficking of Vietnamese to the U.K. is not new, the rise in their number in Scotland makes sense from a business viewpoint for organized crime, according to Mimi Vu, a Vietnam-based independent anti-trafficking expert. "The market for cannabis cultivation and smuggling of migrants is more saturated in the southern part of the U.K. In order to expand their business and respond to the increased attention being paid by law enforcement in areas around Kent, London or Essex, for example, traffickers and criminal gangs have spread their activities to farther-flung places like Scotland." But she is wary of Scotland's lack of capacity in working with Vietnamese victims. When she visited Glasgow last year to meet with the police, government officials and non-governmental organizations for her work, there were only two qualified Vietnamese translators in all of Scotland. "The police and NGOs don't have any experience in dealing with Vietnamese at all." She said Scotland needs to train its law enforcement and social services to understand the Vietnamese cultural context in which the potential victims are brought, particularly minors.

The Seaport Museum New York is moving closer to a plan for recovery. The city is working with the museum to replace President Mary Pelzer and members of the board of directors, in the hope that new blood will buoy the organization, sources said. A museum spokesman released a statement Monday confirming the management changes, though without specifics. "Seaport Museum New York has been involved in ongoing conversations with the city to develop a transition strategy that includes a plan for financial sustainability and new leadership," the museum's statement said. "The priority is to ensure that visitors will be able to experience New York's dynamic waterfront history for years to come." The attorney general's office is encouraging the Seaport Museum not to get rid of its three working historic ships, including the schooner Lettie G. Howard. Peter Stanford, who founded the museum in 1967 and is leading a grassroots movement to keep it open, said he was heartened by the city's actions. "We're feeling very optimistic and hopeful," said Stanford, who no longer has an official role in the museum. "The city is doing the right thing so far. We now have a great opportunity — let's not fall short." Stanford said he recently heard another good piece of news: that State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has intervened to encourage the museum not to get rid of its three working historic vessels. The museum had planned to either sell the ships or loan them out to other institutions this year, but Schneiderman's office is urging the museum to keep the ships in New York Harbor, Stanford and another source said. The attorney general's office oversees nonprofits and a source said the office got involved in this case to protect the museum's assets. While the three working historic boats — schooners Pioneer and Lettie G. Howard and tugboat W.O. Decker — require some repairs, they could easily bring in money through educational programs and private charters if the museum fixes them up, Stanford said. Stanford's Save Our Seaport group, which includes many of the museum's former employees and volunteers, has been advocating for the museum to refocus on waterfront programming, which had lagged in recent years. Stanford said the city is still working out who will manage the historic boats, but he heard that the Museum of the City of New York may help run the landside operation of the museum's galleries, at least temporarily. The attorney general's office declined to comment. The city's Department of Cultural Affairs and the Museum of the City of New York did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Mary Pelzer, president of the Seaport Museum New York, shown at an event last year, will be removed from the helm of the museum, sources said. Save Our Seaport plans to hold a rally at the Seaport May 22 at 2 p.m., in support of the leadership changes and of the boats remaining in New York Harbor. Community Board 1's Seaport/Civic Center Committee will discuss the museum's future at a meeting May 17 at 6 p.m., 49-51 Chambers St., seventh floor.

Female preterm indigenous Australian infants have lower renal volumes than males: a predisposing factor for end-stage renal disease? - Kandasamy, Yogavijayan; Rudd, Donna; Lumbers, Eugenie R.; Smith, Roger Kandasamy, Yogavijayan; Rudd, Donna; Lumbers, Eugenie R.; Smith, Roger NHMRC.1066971 http://purl.org/au-research/grants/nhmrc/1066971 Nephrology Vol. 24, Issue 9, p. 933-937 http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/nep.13520 Aim: Indigenous Australians have an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Indigenous women have a higher rate of CKD than men. In a cohort of Indigenous and non-Indigenous preterm neonates, we assessed total renal volume (TRV) (a proxy indicator for nephron number). We hypothesized that there would be no difference in renal volume between these two groups at term corrected (37 weeks gestation). Methods: Normally grown preterm neonates less than 32 weeks of gestation were recruited and at term corrected dates, the neonates underwent renal ultrasonography (TRV measurements), urine microalbumin-creatinine ratio and serum analysis for Cystatin C measurement for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculation. Results: One hundred and five neonates (38 Indigenous; 67 non-Indigenous) were recruited. Indigenous neonates were significantly more premature and of lower birth weight. At term corrected age, Indigenous neonates had a significantly smaller TRV (18.5 (4.2) vs 21.4 (5.1) cm3; P = 0.027) despite no significant difference in body weight. Despite having a smaller TRV, there was no significant difference in eGFR between Indigenous and Non-indigenous neonates (47.8 [43.2-50.4] vs 46.2 [42.6-53.3] ml/min per 1.73 m2; P = 0.986). These infants achieve similar eGFR through hyperfiltration, which likely increases their future risk of CKD. There was no difference in microalbumin-creatinine ratio. Female Indigenous neonates, however, had significantly smaller TRV compared with Indigenous male neonates (15.9 (3.6) vs 20.6 (3.6) cm3; P = 0.006), despite no difference in eGFR, birth weight, gestational age, and weight at term corrected. Conclusion: The difference in TRV is likely to be an important risk factor for the difference in morbidity and mortality from renal disease reported between male and female Indigenous adults. renal volume; neonates; indigenous; premature; hyperfiltration © 2018 The Authors Nephrology published by John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology.

Not all pharmacy folk tales are true, but many can assist in conveying important lessons. Here, several pharmacy folk tales relating to inappropriate administration of medications are reviewed. In every profession there are stories passed from one person to the next by word of mouth. Some are based in fact, others are more probable to have been the result of creative minds. When it comes to pharmacy folk tales there are quite a few out there sure to surprise you. Here I review some folk tales I have come across in my time as a pharmacist. Some shared by pharmacists, some shared by pharmacy technicians, and others shared on social media. A few of them I know to be true, while others may just be myths. All have to do with improper administration of medications. It is important to note that all of us can make simple mistakes, we are only human afterall. The point of sharing this is not to find entertainment at the expense of others, but rather to foster discussion and help remind us of the importance of patient counseling / becoming informed to ensure the safe and appropriate use of prescription drugs. 1. A patient picks up a package of suppositories from the pharmacy. A few hours later they call to complain, stating "these things taste terrible, do you have other flavors?" The pharmacist proceeds to explain proper administration of suppositories. 2. Similar to story #1, a patient comes to the pharmacy the day after picking up a a new prescription for suppositories. Upon approaching the pharmacist they inquire about when they can remove the suppository. The pharmacist informs them that it should dissolve and removal should not be necessary. It turns out the patient was not removing the outer foil packaging prior to insertion. 3. A female patient who takes an oral contraceptive (OC) becomes ill with the flu, including stomach ache and nausea. A few days into her illness she stops by a pharmacy to speak with a pharmacist. The topic of her OC comes up and she mentions that her boyfriend has been a "great guy" the last few days, even taking her birth control for her. The pharmacist then proceeded to explain a male taking a female's OC is not an effective form of contraception. 4. A parent calls the pharmacist to discuss a prescription for amoxicillin oral suspension prescribed to their child for an ear infection. The parent wants to know how long to leave the amoxicillin suspension in the ear. The pharmacist informed the parent that the oral suspension is not for administration into the ear and should be given orally to the child. 5a. A patient comes to the window of the pharmacy to pick up her intra-vaginal contraceptive device, brand name Nuvaring. She proceeds to show her wrist to the clerk and comments on how she likes them so much she has not thrown her old ones away. Come to find out the patient did not know the product is meant to be intra-vaginal, she has been wearing them as bracelets. The pharmacist then counseled the patient on proper Nuvaring insertion and removal. 5b. A second Nuvaring story. The patient cut the product into 28 pieces and ingested one piece orally each day. The patient later found out this was not the proper way to use Nuvaring. 5c. A third Nuvaring story. A patient complains to the pharmacist that they are having trouble inserting the product. Come to find out she had not been removing the previous Nuvarings, which made inserting the new ones more difficult. She was counseled on proper removal of the product. 6. A patient presents to a pharmacist for counseling on their inhalers. One of their drugs is a medicine called tiotropium (brand name Spiriva Handihaler). This product comes as a pill and an inhaler device. The pill goes into the inhaler device, a mechanism punctures the pill, then the patient inhales its contents. During the counseling session the patient notes a lack of improvement in their symptoms despite taking the pill for several days. It turns out the patient has been taking the pill orally. The pharmacist counseled the patient on proper administration. 8. A patient is started on subcutaneous insulin and the diabetes educator uses an orange to instruct the patient on proper administration, making injections into the orange peel. A few days later it is discovered the patient was injecting insulin into the orange peel and then eating the orange. The patient was provided with education to correct their mistake and to administer the insulin subcutaneously . 9. A patient is instructed to use epsom salt baths as a soaking aid. A few days later it is identified the patient misunderstood and was consuming the product orally rather than dissolving it in water for topical administration. 10. A patient with an allergy to their pet dog (or maybe it was a cat) is given allergy medication to help their symptoms. The patient does not have relief in the first few days. Then during a discussion with pharmacy staff it is realized that the patient had been administering the medication to their animal rather than their self! Thank you to all that commented on Instagram and Facebook to help create this post!

Let us now discuss a few aspects regarding the management of brain tumors. First what are the tests usually carried out to detect and diagnose a brain tumor? As you can imagine the most commonly done tests are the ones that involve imaging the bain. Either a CT scan or an MRI brain is done. Usually during these tests a dye (also called contrast) is given. The dye/ contrast helps to highlight the tumor from the surrounding background and aids in visualization of the extent of its spread and the surrounding brain edema. Some tumors enhance, that is they take up the dye and look bright while others do not enhance. If we are dealing with a primary barin tumor, by that I mean a tumor which arises from the brain itself and stays in the brain (does not spread) then nothing else may be needed. But if we are dealing with a metastatic brain tumor (for example a lung tumor which has spread to the brain), more imaging may need to be done. This includes imaging the chest, abdomen and pelvis to look for how far the tumor has spread. Sometimes tests may be more invasive. The CT scan or MRI brain only shows the mass lesion, it does not tell what kind of tumor it is histopathologically. Remember not all masses in the brain are tumors, infections too can present with mass lesions (brain abscesses). For example a patient is noted to have a mass/ lesion on MRI brain. The doctor cannot tell what it is and may like to get a biopsy of the lesion. Biopsy means getting a small amount of the tissue and looking under the microscope to identify what it is. This procedure is carried out in the OR by a neurosurgeon. 5) MRI of the brain with and without contrast. 6) EEG (electroencephalogram): remember some patients present with seizures and are then detected to have a brain tumor on testing. 7) CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. 1) Location of the tumor in the brain--is it easily accessible surgically or is it deep in the brain and cannot be approached surgically? 2) Size of the brain tumor--is it small or is it large? Can it be safely removed without causing weakness, loss of memory or speech problems? 3) Number of tumors in the brain--a solitary lesion usually can be surgically removed while multiple lesions cannot. 4) Type of the brain tumor: as I stated earlier different tumors behave in different ways. Some are slow growing while others grow quite fast. Some are sensitive to radiation while others are not. Some respond to one type of chemotherapy (cancer drugs) while others do not. 1) Surgery--the neurosurgeon resects the tumor. For some tumors especially those caught early, this may be all that is needed. In others after surgery you may need radiation to the brain and/or chemotherapy. 2) Radiation--this may either be whole brain radiation (meaning that the whole brain is radiated) or radiation just to the tumor and the surrounding areas. While radiation involves no surgery, it too carries its own side-effects. Radiation may cause cognitive deficits and at times necrosis of the surrounding brain tissue. 3) Chemotherapy: different types of chemotherapy drugs are used in the treatment of brain tumors. Some of these are a group of drugs called nitrosoureas with names like BCNU and CCNU. Other aspects of care include rehablitation--this may include physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.

If you watched/listened to last Thursday's episode, then you know that we're sharing some behind the scenes action from one of our 2-day client intensives. In part 2 we continue sharing our personal lessons and principles for success. Let's get to it. You probably already know that adding an online education or a coaching arm to your existing agency would two to three X year your revenue and even profit. So why aren't you doing it yet? If you want to launch your first group coaching program that compliments your existing agency services and get your next five to 10 clients in the next 90 days, then visit system dot L Y forward slash foundations to learn a little bit more about our program and how we can walk you through a proven process that we've now taken over 150 agencies through to launch their group coaching program as an additional revenue stream that can really over time exceed and replace your done for you service revenue. If that sounds like something that you are interested in, visit us at system dot L Y for slash foundations. Schedule a call to talk to myself and or someone on the team to see how it can apply to you and your business. Let's get into today's episode. Hey, what's going on everybody? So we are jumping back to part two of 10 lessons from the trenches, which if you missed the last episode, episode 55, uh, go ahead and check that out because we brought you behind the scenes into the room for one of our two day client intensives that we have currently three times a year with our coaching clients for our leverage program, which is a 12 month coaching and accountability program. And like I mentioned in the last episode, we kind of share lessons that we've learned, mistakes that we made over the previous 90 days and kind of how we're going to course correct moving into the next 90 day sprint. So, uh, in the last episode, we shared the first three lessons. So in this episode we're gonna jump into sharing a handful more before closing it out with part three of this little mini series, bringing you behind the scenes, 10 lessons from the trenches. Let's get a gun. We talked about this yesterday. Become the person that makes fast decisions. So, um, at my table, I talked about this a lot. I'm not sure if everyone came around to my table. But, um, we, we decided that the best way to sell beverage was based off this one day event called the scalable service business intensive. Uh, and a few people that are in leverage right now came from that event. So like the event worked and after it worked we're like, alright, let's do more of these. Uh, and then we realized like after signing the contract at the hotel for the hotel that we, it wasn't the best decision, especially as we were bringing foundations back cause we were diluted in our focus and like we canceled the event, we canceled those events really quickly, but we also made another decision to like merge them because we were trying to like not lose the money that we were gonna lose by canceling it. So we were like, Hey, we had these three dates on the calendar, can we like move them into one date? And we basically like tried to create a new product on the fly just to, for those three days, it wasn't a new product. It was like basically foundations but delivered live. And like we made that decision quickly and then like we started promoting it and everyone that was we were trying to sell it was actually buying the regular foundations and we're like, alright, like we're, I don't know how many days out from the event, like cancel the event. We're not even doing anymore. I actually just got a message from someone like, Hey, like I can't find the link to the August event. I'm like that's cause the August event no longer exists but we can do it virtually. Do you want to talk about that? And he's going to be scheduling a sales call. So like, Hey maybe maybe that, maybe that's like a new marketing tactic. Like Hey we got this thing and then just stop talking about it. And I just like bring it back. But if that turns into the close, that'll make another good ending to the story. But like I think once we started getting some of this moment momentum and we realized that that was just another example of like trying to save ourselves, save ourselves into wealth and we're like, wait, how much money are we going to lose? If we just cancel this and it ended up being like total of three grand but we already paid 1500 or something like that. Or is it just 1500 so it was just 1500 but if we pursued the event and we only got one person, we would've lost 13 grand. So it's like, man, like we got to sell at least this many people. Like it's really slow. Everyone's rather taking the online version. Like why are we trying to sell these two different things at the exact same time? Like it's hard. It's confusing. I don't like the online one actually costs more. So like I'm not going to stop them from wanting to get it. Like let's just keep going. And this is like, all right, like this is cut it. And I think from a lot of the other lessons and the things we talked about yesterday is like as you get clear on your vision and start asking yourself better questions, like you can make decisions faster and get out of just motion and, and move towards something that is actually useful. So, yeah, we ate 1500 bucks, but like we could have ate a lot more and wasted a lot of other energy. Um, when I hear make decisions faster, I always think about like, making positive decisions going in a certain direction. But what I'm hearing is that make decisions faster means don't be afraid to make a decision to go away from the decision that you've already made. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Russ talked about this also. He, he's a huge proponent of this. Um, he, uh, this dude makes decisions so fast. It's insane. Like he's like, we're launching a podcast. It record 12 episodes. They launched an episode. It's like we're done with the podcast is over. And it's like, literally like the, it just came out. I'm like, Whoa. Like he's like, we're launching this product, we've made a bunch of money. We refunded everybody cause we don't want to do it anymore. It's like, what the hell is happening over here? And like, and he, his, his kind of, you've, you've heard me say this recently is like, the feedback that you are looking for is on the other side of the decision. Right. And so like, whether it's good feedback or bad feedback, like, Hey, if he comes to the podcast and like his entire community was like, where the hell is the podcast? Bad decision. Let's bring the podcast back. But nobody said anything. It's like, Oh, it's like I was spending all my time doing this. The production, like having all the team involved, the expense of doing that and like it wasn't, people didn't, people didn't even notice it was gone. Right. And so like, until he made the decision, like he wouldn't know. And so, you know, we made it like we weren't getting anyone interested. We in our minds over 60 days ago said we weren't interested in doing it. And I get a message, you know, last night someone looking for the event, you know, it's like, well, one person, like it's still will probably or could eventually turn into a sale. But like for 60 days, no one, no one seemed to care that this event was gone. Like we had been talking about it, spending time thinking about it, coordinating with the hotel, figuring out what workbooks we need to create, designing those and like spending money on that. Like turning, you know, it cost money to do this thing, right. So like it was gonna be another three day thing just like this, like 60 days away and like we had no one coming. Um, so yeah, I think to that point it's like you don't know if it's going to be positive feedback or negative feedback, but the, you need the feedback and like, yeah, to make the next decision. Like that was a good idea or that was a bad idea. Like I shouldn't have done that or I should've done that. But like you actually know because you did it right. And so there's probably things that are, you know, you've been waiting to make a decision on or like you've been thinking about. And it's like the, the, the real data on like, is my ad gonna work is, will people click on it? And will people opt in. That's the feedback that you need right now. Like launched the ad, you know, like I launched my, I worked on my copy for awhile, launched the ad and two days later I was changing it. I was like, Oh crap, I forgot to do this. Let me fix it, relaunch it again. Like I've launched five iterations of that ad since I launched the first one. And like it's just boom, boom, boom, boom. Like understanding like what you're looking for. Okay. That's the fee. No feedback is feedback, but is that, how is that going to um, educate your next decision? Makes sense. Anyone you have any else to add on that? I can jump into the next one. Yeah. Cash box. Oh, it's right in front of something you said to me right at the very beginning that made this lesson really clear was don't solve problems you don't have yet. And that it was just, I mean, so simple but true. And it really let me start making decisions quickly and just doing things and not worrying about where this happens and what this happens. And you know, we never moved as quickly in the past couple of months. You know, we never moved that group because of that. So yeah, not celebrating, you're not solving problems you don't have yet. Yeah, that's actually a problem. I actually probably should have been [inaudible] cause I haven't seen that a lot. Totally. Who's trying to solve problems that they don't actually have yet? Yeah. Stop. Like wait until it's a problem. Like you can't forecast, there's some problems I think you can forecast, but I think marinating on it forever is a waste of your time. Like don't assume people are gonna have problems. All right, next one. Um, focus all your energy on the biggest bottleneck. This is something that we're, I'd still say a student of and really doubling down on. Um, uh, so like when we looked at, when we were like, all right, let's not save our way into wealth. We got to double down on this thing. Like, well, why are we like, why are we, why is Greg not confident in the messaging right now? Why are we, you know, gun shy on ads? Why are we all these things? And when we just kept asking ourselves that question, it was like the messaging isn't clear, the messaging isn't clear. Like, and you've probably seen me start saying the word agency a lot and like I've been very hesitant to use that word. Um, because I never necessarily called myself an agency, but like everyone that essentially comes to us is in some way shape or form has been an agency and it's like, man, like other peers of mine were like, dude, you serve agencies. Like if you just said agency in that messaging, like that thing would've made so much more sense. I'm like, God damn. I was like, I don't want to like resist it. And so hired a messaging consultant, we're finishing up with her work right now and like literally coming out of that, she was like, you should just be saying agency, like stop saying agency service provider consultant just like that. Just as like [inaudible] she's like you just say agency. And if someone is like, even the people that make might not consider themselves agencies, they'll still probably resonate. Just because you said the word agency. So like a lot of our refinement of messages, like all right, like what's the bottleneck and me moving this thing forward is like we don't feel clear on exactly who we're speaking to or how, like how do we figure that out? Like let's go get someone that knows what the hell they're talking about that like can give us outside perspective. So when you have a bottleneck, whatever, wherever your bottleneck might be. And we talked about yesterday, like looking in those five core functions of your business, lead generation, lead nurture, sales fulfillment and retention, resell, upsell, like when you need to fix it. There's really only three ways to fix a bottleneck. One people who is going to get you through this bottleneck. We hired Lacy who's a messaging consultant like so the solution for us was hire someone that knows how to do this better than we do to get us through this bottleneck. The second is a process like what process needs to be put in place in your business in order to like solve the bottleneck. Like, maybe it's like, Hey, this, every time we get on a sales call, like these people have no idea what we're even talking about. Like go watch the application to close training. Like start there. Like that's a process, like take ours, modify it, like start with something. And the last one is a project, which is usually like the combination of possibly people and process. Like maybe you need to install some technology, maybe you need some people to help you with that. Like we just moved in from infusion soft active campaign. Like that was a project that that encompass people and um, and process, right. So literally those are really the only three ways you're gonna fix the bottleneck. And so like figure out what's your bottleneck is and is it going to be a person that's going to come in and fix that problem for you? Is it a process that needs to be created, documented, um, and, or possibly a project that like involves a couple of those different things all at once. So, um, and now that's unlocked us. Like we're running ads. Like, I feel more confident, my messaging and like our emails are getting better. Like my training feels like way clear when I talk to people and like how we're going to evolve the training, et cetera. Like is all getting clear just because we hired someone to help us on getting clarity on our messaging. So like, I guess to take this to you guys, like, I mean I already know that you've said it all yesterday. Like you guys are all focused on way too many things all at once, right? And like expecting to move mountains as like if you just focused on the one thing that like is really preventing you from moving forward, like you'll actually move forward. Um, and you can also trick yourself. So like, my mistake on this was, and I think I've said this story before, um, like I'm a product person. Like, I mean I was talking to you guys like I want to continue to make the training the support better. And so like when our ad stopped working, I'm like, the product must be broken over to fixed product. And like, that wasn't the problem. It was like, no, just our ad stopped working. Like, like I should have just stayed over there and fix that. Right. But I'm like, no, this is where I feel comfortable. And like that was like a three month waste of time. Right. Um, so that spun us into worse decisions. Right. Or not worse decisions we learned from those decisions 100%, but like understand like maybe where you might be comfortable cause like you're like this is the bottleneck, but like maybe it's not actually the bottleneck, it's just where you feel comfortable and like that's why you're going to go there and like, so maybe ask some other people like, is this don't solve a lead generation problem with a product solution right now that might not help. So anyone have anything? Aha. Is insights on that that you want to share or I could carry on the book the goal. Yeah. If you haven't read the book, the goal, um, I don't know what your reading style is or preference. Definitely a, I could see it would be a challenging read for some people. Although it's very storytelling. It's like, well, I thought, yeah, we're like system's brain. Like it's like throughput and bottlenecks and like, like literally on like I feel like I need to like be diagramming what they're saying in this story right now, but it's actually a really, really good book. Um, kind of an old school book I believe. Um, do you know the name of the author off the top of your head? Yeah, that's it. Um, check it out. Yeah. Gold, gold something. Yeah. Megan, maybe you can find the link on Amazon. Just drop it in. The drop that in the, the group that I don't, I need to set sign up for that. Was that right? Lead generation, lead nurture, sales fulfillment or delivery, whichever term you use for doing the thing that you do. And then the last, then the fifth one is a combination of retention. Resell, upsell. Keep, keep clients pain, get them to buy again, get them to pay more. And then the other two, and this is like something Alex Charfen actually talks about, but like those are the five core functions. There's also, there's also finance and there's also HR. Those just don't get added as core cause they're not like moneymaking activities. They don't necessarily keep the business running or are growing. There's kind of a necessary thing. Um, I'd say I argue that like, you know, to dumb it down, maybe this isn't dumbing it down, but like lead generation is traffic like paid partner organic. Um, nurture is like your marketing activities like your podcast, like your, your emails, you know, your, your webinars, like those sorts of things. And then obviously sales is your sales process. What's that one conversion method? You guys are all selling over the phone for the most part. Um, obviously fulfillment is your signature service and how you choose to deliver that. And then retention, resell, upsell. Like how does Tim get people from, you know, major gift intensive into his backend program? How do we get people from foundations in the leverage, right? How do you get someone that buys a website with you to like buy the marketing package or whatever you have on the back end, right? How do you get someone that goes through your workshop to buy into editing services, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, right? Yup. Is there, well, you're welcome. Um, all right. This is one for all of you and myself. We need to be reminded more than we need to be taught. So, um, the story for me, it was like, you know, many of you, like some of the changes you're seeing today are like a result of like we're like we, we're releasing new training after new training and like many of you guys weren't coming to it or consuming it. If anything, when we started doing the research, I was like, man, I'm like, I got this game plan and like this new trains comes out and like it doesn't really feel like it's tied to my game plan. But like now I feel like I'm missing out or like now I'm overwhelmed and it's like, why are we keep releasing new training? Like when they should just keep doing the shit that they were supposed to be doing when they started. Like, and it kind of just got me thinking like one, that's why we are experimenting more with this where it's like, let's talk about the things that you're dealing with versus like necessarily having to like create a new training every single month. You know Greg was doing a training then you know we have the back office calls. Like we had all these things. I was like shoving more and more content down your throat that like I'd argue is still good content but like we probably don't really need it. I just need to be like, Hey Chris, do the thing that I told you to do when you started. Like you know, cause you're not done with it yet. Like keep going. Right. Like, and then bring those questions to us about that and like let us like help you keep implementing. And I wrote this post on Facebook the other day is like when I look at like the people that are like, you know, ahead of me or like where I want to be or really just anyone kind of successful. Like they never stopped doing the fundamentals right. It's like cool, you go from foundations to leverage. Like that doesn't necessarily mean like you need tons of new content. It's like you actually just need to like double down on the things that you were doing and like get better at them and start scaling them up. Removing yourself from some of those things, right? Like it's still the same thing. Like you still need to market, you still need to sell, you still need to serve your clients. Like maybe there's some, you know, few advanced trainings here and there, but like we want to make sure we're not just like having you learn stuff just to learn stuff and like that it's applicable to like what you're working on. So like that's for us part of like what we heard from you guys and saw from you guys and also we were feeling and we're like, man, I'm like, we're suffocating them. Do you have anything to add on that? I feel like every time we've talked about this lesson we kind of talked about it a little bit differently. Did I nail it like you were hoping or, yeah, so it's, you know, we just overwhelmed too much content, pain, too much tension to lots of different things instead of focusing on what um, you should be doing. And so just being reminded yourself, your team reminding you what's your goal, where are you, what are your targets, where are you actually trying to do and not getting distracted by shiny objects. Yeah. Anyone have anything on that you want to Molly, you got the box right there. It's convenient. This whole table is just keep the box over there. You guys. Um, I think that you guys only, not externally us as clients is one thing, but I think that's also kind of true internally. Um, you know, like as we've honed in on like, and I guess in Katie adequate if she was necessary, but like as we've honed in more on like what we're doing from like our signature service and we've like pulled out things that we're not doing anymore. Like it's, it's so much easier to like, like this is how we came up with this exact situation, AB and in pay and like we can create those templates. So like not just, um, trainings like externally trainings internally too. Like for your team that you have, you know, like, do they really need to know that if you're not going to do it in, yeah. Like if you revert back to the last intensive, there was a a, like we talked about the first 90 a 90 day client experience and like there was that worksheet you guys filled out of like what? Like what is the absolute minimum that they need to get to the result that they want? And like, all right, can they like, and you list out the things that they need to know or the things you need to build. And it's like, all right, like is there any scenario where they could do all of those things and not get the yes. Okay, well then what else needs to be added and available for them in order to get to the result? And then you'd go back into your archive or figure out what you need to create and put it in there. But like you want to like really focus on the, on those things and like, you know, we, I think just kept creating content, trying to keep it fresh for people. Hey, like I know it's there, but like, almost that was, I think in some ways more of like a negative thing. At least we felt and like, Hey, guess what, now if we remove some of the need to having to do that like we can double down on how we offer support to you through the things you're actually working on. Instead of like us having to plan new content every single month. It's like, all right, like, what are you working on? How can we help you? Like, let's do that. Like, let's figure out that. Right. So that was kind of how this played out for us. And like, again, you're all really, really smart people obviously because you chose to be here. Uh, but like in so many ways, like you already know what you need to do. And like, I think part of why you're here is like, you, you knew that and like you kinda just need someone to like keep reminding you and I think we don't need to remind you by creating more content. We need to remind you about like, reminding you to do the thing that you haven't done yet that you're supposed to be doing. So you're probably gonna see, we're gonna, we're gonna have more questions for you, you know, over the next few months as like, like I said, I'm starting to like, do some interviews. Like I think Lisa will probably chat with some folks, like, like team members, like how can we focus on getting you like the stuff that you need to get done done versus like shoving more content down your throat. Um, so that's that lesson. Anyone else have anything you want to add to that? How that plays out in your own world? Josh C still at the table pocket table. Um, yeah, just one quick thing. It's, it's kind of a sidecar. This is how exactly what you're saying here is something I experienced recently. My personal life is that I'm kind of a bookie can. I'm always looking for the next school book to vouch or whatever and I just stopped buying more new books and I've started going back to the bookshelf and reading the books that I have that actually I liked it and I thought helped me and reading those books with the eyes that I have now had to do lies and seeing more stuff that I get different things from those books. And so it's like, you know, you don't need to take your content. Just go back to some of the basic stuff like traction or influence or some of the things that like how did I miss that the first time around? I just wasn't the same person. I looked at both of them at the time and now he's a totally different everything. Yeah. Like I mean this goes back to this kind of like the idea of the bottleneck, right? Like once you figure out the bottleneck is whatever, say sales, like if you're going to consume anything, go consume stuff about sales. Right? Like don't go learning about whatever book. Just because like about leadership, if like that's your issue right now has nothing to do with leadership like go solve sales, like all of your energy, like fixing your sales process, like working on your sales skills. Like a lot of times when you have a bottleneck it's the the, I'd say it's like in many ways it's like the deficits of a skill that you just need to go acquire. It's like how do you go acquire that skill? Well shit, there's probably some training in the members area that you don't even know exist that's going to help solve your bottleneck. If we just knew what your bottleneck was, we could at least point you in the right direction. Right? It's like to at least start helping you acquire that skill, but you know, reading back on that book as it relates to the topic that you need to focus on, like that's the get informed, get the skills that you need to solve that bottleneck and everything is focused on that until you fixed it. Like as as the owner of the business, like literally everything's your fault. Like whether it's actually true or not. Like in many ways it is. And like the second you start acting like anything that goes wrong with the business is your fault. Like that's the ownership that you need to have in order to start moving things forward. Like, cause it's so easy to like, Oh well like that person didn't do the, you know, implement the thing or they miss that thing. It's like, well they probably missed that thing cause like your process sucks or you tried to manage a task or you didn't give them enough information. Like there's always a way that it's going to come, like it can come back to you. So it's like the sooner you just accept that responsibility, like even in situations where it's like, I still can't figure it out how this is my fault. Fuck it. It's my fault. Like how do I, how do I make sure it's fixed? Like what, how do I need to show up differently to fix it? Right. And usually it's going to be like, how do I lead the team differently? Or you know, maybe they don't have information that they should have. Um, like, which you know is where, how it boils back up to like it's your fault. Like own it. Like anything that had like client doesn't have a good experience and it was like they were interacting with someone else. It's your fault like period. Why did that person say something wrong to the client? Like you probably never didn't set, set appropriate expectations. Like there was some way where always come back to, to come back to you as the owners like and I think this applies to like you want the people, everyone in your team to like just feel like it's their, their fault. Like it's, they're like they own it. Like this is on me. I got this like Megan's doing this a lot now. It's just like that was on me, that was my bad. And I'm like actually like in the real scheme of things it's probably my bad cause like I didn't equip you but like cool. Like that's, that's the mentality that you need to have I think like for people to like want to take that stuff and run with it. If I give you five to 10 new clients, would you or your agency break if so, your current agency model is broken? I struggle with this too, until I found a better way.

SANTA BARBARA, CA – "There's a little somethin strange in all of us", the words of Droc and Voodoo Child, meant literally and physically, emotionally and figuratively. From a world unbeknownst to us mere mortals, a dynamic duo, residing in the beautiful Santa Barbara hills of California, comes "somethin strange". Two uprising poets rapping with such force it may seem as though they are crashing down upon you from the heavens. Realisticly wierd, somethin strange is a force of nature to witness. Asked what genre defines them most properly, somethin strange classifies themselves as Independent, Alternative, Underground, World Music. Hear for yourselves at somethinstrange.bandcamp.com Beware, somethin strange will get you, and when they do, they do not let go. – Michael Sweeney (KSEESB Radio), Independent News Magazine.

Q: Multiple Django records for one user I want to add multiple values for a user in Django. in that a user may have several records displayed. Records should belong to a specific user selected. Models.py looks like : class Medrecs(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) title = models.CharField(max_length=60, null=True) clinician = models.ForeignKey(Clinician, on_delete=models.PROTECT) Patient = models.ForeignKey(Patient, on_delete=models.CASCADE) meds = models.TextField() def __str__(self): return self.title models.ForeignKey doesnt work either. It displays records to all patients but I want a specific patient/user selected. OneToOne will display for specific user but only once. Views.py looks like: def my_profile(request): meds = Medrecs.objects.all() if request.user.is_authenticated: return render(request, 'MyDoc/my_profile.html', {'meds': meds}) else: return redirect('MyDoc:login_patient') And my template looks like : {% if meds %} {% for m in meds %} <div class="col-sm-6 panel-primary"> <img class="logo" style="height: 35px; width: 35px; margin-right: 15px;" src="{{ user.patient.image.url }}"> <p>St.Denvers Hospital,</p><br> <p>Healthcare is our compassion</p> <p>{{ m.title }}</p> <div class="panel panel-primary"> <div class="panel-heading active"> <h3 class="text-success">Doctor:{{ m.clinician }}</h3> <p>Name: {{ m.patient }}</p> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <p>Medication: {{ m.meds }}</p> </div> </div> </div> {% endfor %} {% endif %} This works fine but i can only add one patient record and i want multiple for the same user. At the Django database it tells me theres a record for that user. NB:/The user is also a patient. Asking for help ..>> A: You have a one to one relationship in your model which means one user to one record. change the relationship to Foreign Key so that multiple records can go to one user. What you need to change it to: user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="records") and in the view you are querying all of the records which is not what you want. Views.py if request.user.is_authenticated: meds = Medrecs.objects.all().filter(user=request.user) return render(request, 'MyDoc/my_profile.html', {'meds': meds}) With this you are filtering all the records that belong to this user

Google Maps Users Soon Can Broadcast Their Movements to Friends, Family Google is known for its highly developed features that provide its users wide varieties of features. On March 2017, Google has launched a privacy detector feature, where its users will actually be able to share their movements with their friends and relatives. Google Maps is that very feature that is ensuring this facility to its users. In these days the act of sharing every detail on social networking site with your friends and relatives by posting pictures and videos has become very common. So, Google by introducing Google maps have taken a step forward in this regard where people can easily share their exact location with whomsoever it concerns. This feature is already installed on almost every smartphones and there is an update from Google that says this feature will also be available on personal computers. With the help of this enticing tool it will be more easy for people to let others know where they are without having to opt for text or call. This is a very big advantage as any emergency situation can be avoided. To this Ruth Glenn, executive director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence has seconded that this application has both positive and negative connotations. All emergency situations can be avoided being easily able to catch up with people. On a humorous note this can create drastic problems for those who are in relationships, married, as they might have to be constant under the supervision of their partner. Even parents can be sure of where their teenage children are putting up by asking them to turn on the application when they are going out. So, this can be really a boon or a curse for different individuals. Vice President of Google Maps has accepted that they are not the first brand who have tried to create something like this. As several tracking applications are available on different devices. Glympse which is introduced by Microsoft have been offering this facility to their user since a long time. Apple also puts forward an option called find my friends on their iPhones, iPads, and even watches and this is probably why Google is not expecting any criticisms especially from them who do not want their near and dear ones to locate them. A very intelligent tactics Google have used to camouflage themselves to be on the safer side of the table. It is very simple to use as the users of this Map will just have to activate the location sharing option by pressing a button available near the search bar and then they can select the person from their contact list whom they want to address their location. They will automatically be informed via a text message. If the receiver does not have the Google Maps application downloaded on their phones, then they will get a link through which they can view the location using a browser. The one who are unwilling to disclose their whereabouts they can make the desired changes in their setting due to which they can determine for how long their location can be traced.

I've spent the majority of my adult life in and around learning and development. I've seen it from a variety of angles: as a high school teacher, as a university administrator, in Fortune 500 organizations and as a consultant. I've learned a lot from each of these experiences, but the one observation that sticks with me most, from the high school classroom all the way through to the corporate boardroom, is that intentionality matters. Benign neglectful doesn't work, especially when it comes to learning, development and personal change. We don't learn and grow without being intentional, thus we don't change without intention, and yet, despite this, so many of us walk thought this world without consideration of how to reach our idealized self. There's no plan, we leave it to luck. We look to organizations and others to help us grow and we get disgruntled when we don't see progress, or when that next opportunity passes us by. The world is rapidly changing; it's moving at an unprecedented clip. You can't afford to be neutral. You must be intentional. In his intentional change model, Richard Boyatzis lays out a strategy for how we can use intention to grow and change, ultimately moving toward our idealized self. This model, starting from an idealized view of who you want to be (5-7 years out) then moving through a realistic inventory of where you are today, provides you with deep insights into how to be intentional in your efforts to grow, develop and change. This model is exceptional for individuals who have the desire to grow and change, it activates us both emotionally and physiologically to move toward our idealized self. It helps us create a deliberate learning plan and makes the space for experimentation and course correction. The organization– needs to provide the framework and processes in support of learning and development. The manager– needs to provide candid, honest and timely feedback to the individual, while also organizing work in support of both the organizational needs and the individual's development. The employee– most importantly to the triad, it is the individual who needs to take deliberate and intentional action to learn, grow and develop. Experience– this is where the vast majority of our development occurs- and yet, it's the one that is most left to chance.

Lawsuit Abuse Fortnightly #6-2 By Maureen Martin (1947 – 2013) Redefining "Food Police" A Tampa high school student is suing a local McDonald's restaurant for failing to protect him from being shot in the foot in a shooting spree in the restaurant's parking lot, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The shooter pled guilty in February to murdering another high school student in the same incident and was sentenced to 18 years in prison. The lawsuit seeks to hold McDonald's liable for monetary damages–not just for "gang activity, thefts, robberies, assaults and other crimes" in its parking lot, but also in the vicinity of the restaurant. The student's lawyer characterized the restaurant's conduct as "intentional, malicious, deliberately oppressive, and committed with such gross negligence as to indicate a willful and wanton disregard for the rights of others," the paper reported. The restaurant had no immediate comment. From the Tampa Bay Times For Lawyer, Katrina Was a "Perfect Storm" As Lawsuit Abuse Fortnightly reported in its special Hurricane Katrina edition in October 2005, class-action plaintiffs' lawyer Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, who collected a billion-dollar fee in tobacco litigation, lost a vacation house in Pascagoula, Mississippi in the storm. He vowed to sue insurance companies for not paying him and others for damages caused by flood waters, which insurers exclude from coverage. Scruggs has now made good on his threat, the Associated Press reports. State Farm Insurance agreed to pay about $80 million to 639 policyholders, plus legal fees of $26 million to Scruggs and his firm. "It was never about the money for me," said Scruggs. Could have fooled us. From the Associated Press Thank You for Not Suing When Sacha Baron Cohen won a Golden Globe award for his performance in the hit comedy movie Borat, he thanked the usual suspects–his co-star, his brother, his fiancé, and colleagues on the film. He added something more unusual, however. The film, in which Cohen starred in the title role, involves a Kazakhstanian who comes to America to make a movie and ridicules many real-life Americans in the process. It spawned a number of lawsuits, including one filed by college students (later dismissed) alleging they were induced to appear in the movie in a drunken state and to make sexually and racially insensitive remarks. Cohen stated in his acceptance speech, "Thank you to every American who has not sued me so far. Thank you." From Variety and the Chicago Tribune Devilish Business Two women who were fired by the University of Texas-Arlington after they conducted a ceremony to rid a co-worker's cubicle of "demonic" oppression are suing the university, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. The ceremony involved rubbing religious oils on the cubicle and chanting the words "You vicious evil dogs. Get the hell out of here in the name of Jesus. … I command you to leave." The women allege their employment termination amounted to religious, age, and gender discrimination, the latter two claims arising because a younger man who joined the ceremony by saying "Amen" and "Yes, Lord" was not fired. The university had no comment except to say the women had admitted the incident took place and it does not discriminate against employees. From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram The Art of Litigiousness A Manhattan man was married for 10 years, but his divorce has been pending for 13 years and isn't over yet, according to the New York Times. Formerly an art conservator to the rich and famous–including Greta Garbo's estate–the man has been representing himself in lawsuits that have stalled the divorce proceedings. Most of these cases involve whether a watch collection valued at about $500,000 was acquired by him prior to the 1994 marriage, in which case it is his personally, or afterwards, in which case it is part of the marital estate, the newspaper said. He has also sued one of his former lawyers, his wife's lawyer, three banks, five judges, and the court-appointed psychiatrist who examined him. In all, he has filed 18 lawsuits, losing 17 of them, and 32 appeals, losing 30. On remand, the trial courts turned the two appellate victories into defeats. "I used to be an art restorer," he told the Times. "Now I'm a litigator. If you're going to attack me or assault me on a legal front, and I don't hit back, I would feel dishonorable with myself." From the New York Times Few Cheers for Title IX Ruling The federal law known as Title IX requires gender equality in high school sports, but does this mean cheerleaders are required to cheer equally for both boys' and girls' basketball teams? Yes, according to a U.S. Department of Education (DOE) ruling on a complaint brought by the mother of a female basketball player in New York state. Backers of the boys' basketball teams don't like the ruling because, in order to provide cheerleaders for girls' basketball, cheerleaders are not attending boys' games away from the home court. Backers of the girls' teams don't like the ruling because they say it interferes with the game. "They asked, 'Why are you here?'" one cheerleader told the New York Times. "We told them, 'We're here to support you,' and it was a problem because they kept yelling at us." The complaining mother believes it is important for cheerleaders to be present at girls' games. Otherwise, "It sends the wrong message that girls are second-class athletes and don't deserve the school spirit, that they're just little girls playing silly games and the real athletes are the boys," she said. Two of the 17 districts named in the complaint have appealed the ruling, according to the Ithaca Journal. The ruling requires equal levels of "publicity and promotional services for both boys' and girls' sports." The two districts argue "spirit clubs" present at sporting events for both genders fulfill this requirement, the paper reported. One district was recently notified that it won its appeal, though it will be required to provide detailed information to DOE about the spirit clubs. The second district is awaiting the outcome of its appeal.

The Brave browser and its native Basic Attention Token (BAT) is one of the most revolutionary concepts in online digital advertising to date. This privacy enhanced browser is increasingly popular and people are downloading it in their droves. They are also using the in browser rewards to earn BAT in exchange for their attention thereby further driving demand for the tokens and browser. However, is it really worth all of the hype? In this Basic Attention Token review, I will attempt to answer just that. I will also take a look at the Brave ecosystem and the long term use cases for the BAT token. What is Basic Attention Token? The Basic Attention Token is the native token that is used in the Brave ecosystem. Brave offers a privacy-focused browser that shields users away from 3rd party ads and trackers. On this browser publishers, advertisers and users are all incentivized to help each party generate the most value. The token and Brave project is quite an interesting one as it is trying to solve some fundamental problems that exist today with digital advertising. For example, consumers are growing ever more conscious of how their data is being misused by social media companies like Facebook. This is evidenced by the growing demand for ad-blocking software, which now operates on over 600 million mobile devices and desktops globally. The industry seems no longer capable of aligning incentives between advertisers, publishers and users. The advertising ecosystem has become rife with data exploitation (users personal data being exploited, as well as the high costs of data from downloading irrelevant and impersonal ads) and inaccurate reporting of user engagement. Demand for BAT, an ERC20 token, will be driven by the following factors: Advertisers pay Publishers in BATs to have their ads viewed by users Users earn BATs when they view ads. User attention is monitored on their devices and in the Brave browser using machine-learning technology (private data always remains contained within the devices being used). Advertisers get better ROI as a result of a more accurate and incentive based system How is Attention Measured? Brave takes the unique approach of measuring attention at the browser level, meaning it keeps track of user engagement within an active tab in real time, showcasing relevant ads based on time spent scrolling over specific content in the tab. The browser calculates an 'attention score' based on whether a page is viewed for a minimum of 25 seconds, and the total amount of time that is spent on that page. Other pieces of data (such as type of content being viewed) are included and sent to the Brave ledger system, which records and sends payments to the publisher and user based on the final attention score. This process enables BAT to more effectively measure user attention and accurately reward publishers and users. The company also boasts its use of Machine learning to provide a superior process for tracking user activity in order to share more relevant ads. Today, digital ad services use Cookies and other 3rd party trackers, which often fail by serving ads for products that users have already bought. Reducing Data Costs & Replacing Centralized Ad Networks According to the New York Times, $23 of the average users monthly phone bill goes towards paying for the bandwidth spent on ads and trackers, resulting in 21% less battery life. Data from the following publishers shows how the cost of downloading ads + tracking is a large portion of the cost of content: Image Source: brave.com As Brave Co-founder Brendan Eich describes it, "we're paying to be bothered by ads". The Brave browser significantly reduces bandwidth by blocking irrelevant ads while serving only those that fit the users interests based on attention monitoring within their device. BAT also aims to displace advertising networks (or 'ad exchanges'). These middlemen help broker deals between publishers seeking ads, and advertisers seeking publishing space. Image Source: liesdamnedlies.com However through this process, what is gained in efficiency is lost in the quality of ads shown to relevant users. The more advertising networks exist to broker deals between publishers and advertisers in the system, the further advertisers and publishers are separated from each other, which results in more impersonal ads being shown to the wrong people purely for the sake of these middlemen exchanges earning more money. BAT completely decentralizes these ad networks, enabling publishers and advertisers to deal with each other directly through the BRAVE browsers attention monitoring technology, which increases the quality of ads shown while maintaining efficiency. Image Source: BAT Whitepaper BAT, like most other tokens, can be applied as a utility in the Brave browser platform, or traded for Bitcoin and other coins on public exchanges like Binance. Brave has plans to provide multiple use cases for users holding BAT tokens. For example, Publishers will be able to offer premium content for those who pay using BAT. Users will also be rewarded with tokens for promoting the publishers content themselves. Brave Browser V1.0 Released The Brave browser spent a long time in its beta period, but the first Brave 1.0 production version was finally released on November 13, 2019. This is a turning point for the internet, because this Brave browser is a speed demon, and heavily focused on the privacy of its users. With a cavalier approach to ad-blocking and the promise of BAT payouts, the Brave browser is now on the cusp of an explosion. With more than 8 million global users already, the Brave 1.0 browser promises users speed, privacy, and improved battery life for their mobile devices. There are two very clear reasons why Brave is now the leading browser on the market, and neither one has to do with the potential for earning BAT by using the browser. Here's what really makes Brave a special browser. No Tradeoff between Speed & Security Brave is by far the fastest browser available for any operating system, whether used on a mobile device or a desktop machine. The memory usage of the browser is exceptionally low, and websites load far faster as well. Brave claims loading times are 3-6x faster than other browsers, and I can tell it's true. The foundation of Brave's speed comes from the suite of built-in privacy and security features. You've all probably experienced websites loaded with advertisements, trackers, pop-ups, and banners that slow your device to a crawl as it tries to wade through the mountains of extraneous code. And while you can add plugins that block advertisements and trackers on Chrome and Firefox, the Brave browser runs these features by default. Brave Compared to Chrome for Loading Speeds. Image via Brave One huge privacy concern recently has been the use of a method known as "fingerprinting" to track user activity all across the internet, which allows advertisers to build a unique and identifiable profile for any tracked user without loading cookies on the computer. Other browsers have begun to fight back against fingerprinting, and Brave is leading the charge. Besides blocking fingerprinting, the Brave Shield feature also blocks a huge number of invasive advertisements and tracking cookies. Brave has also sidestepped one common problem found in modern browsers. They can often interfere so greatly with a website to block elements that users are unable to access the content they came to the website for in the first place. That either means the user has to go elsewhere to find information, or they need to go through the time-consuming and irritating process of disabling security plugins one by one until they can figure out which one is causing the browsing problem. Choosing which ads to block on the Brave Browser The Brave privacy suite eliminates the need to go through this painful process and makes it faster and far less annoying to have a secure browsing experience. One click on the Brave icon and users are presented with a small menu that has simplified toggles to turn on and off the extensive security features in the browser settings. Because the Brave browser is built on the Chromium engine that powers Google Chrome it's possible to increase privacy even further by adding your own choice of extensions in the same way you would when using the Chrome browser. But just because Brave is built with the Chromium engine it doesn't mean you're giving up your data to Google. Brave has stripped the Google-specific code from its version of the Chromium engine, thus not just blocking outside data from getting in, but also blocking data that's already inside from getting out. The bottom line is you can use Brave without worrying that it's sharing all your browsing history with Google. Brave & BAT Power And here is the feature that attempts to blend user and advertiser needs with privacy concerns and the revenue generated by advertising on websites all across the internet. That feature is Brave Rewards, which users can opt into if they want to support websites with revenue, but still, maintain their privacy. When opted into Brave Rewards the Brave browser will swap ads on a website with ads of its own. The major difference is the Brave ads don't track you, and when users view or engage with the ads they get rewarded with BAT tokens. Brave will keep 30% of the ad revenue spent by advertisers while passing the other 70% on to the Brave users. Users can also utilize the BAT added to their accounts to tip users on a variety of social media and other sites, or by contributing to their favorite websites. For example, Wikipedia is a Brave publisher and can be supported with BAT donations. Value flow of the BAT Tokens in Ecosystem. Image via BAT whitepaper. Brave claims the average user can earn roughly $5 per month, with this figure varying based on the region they live in and other factors. Prior to the release of Brave v1.0 users were unable to withdraw any of the BAT they made using the browser. However it is now possible to withdraw through the cryptocurrency exchange Uphold, and Brave says by next year users will be able to redeem BAT for product discounts, gift cards, and subscriptions, plus more. Brave has had push-back from advertisers since its inception due to issues with having their content covered. However, when looked at through the eyes of the user trying to avoid the increasing surveillance of corporations, the BAT model is a good one. And considering there are now thousands of advertisers using Brave, even though some are just testing at this point, it seems Brave is here to stay. The one thing needed now is more users. While 8 million is a good start, it's a long way from the 250 million users of the Mozilla Firefox browser or the more than 1 billion Google Chrome users. History and Team Brendan Eich founded Brave Software in 2017. As the creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Firefox, he's certainly proven capable of developing large scale and disruptive software when it counts. In the same year it was founded, the BAT token raised an impressive $35million in just under 30 seconds during their ICO. Some of the Brave Team Members. Image via Brave. They have since secured early partners and brought on top talent developers and executives. Other key members of the team include: Brian Bondy – Lead Developer, co-founded Brave. Previously: Khan Academy, Mozilla, and Evernote. Yan Zhu – Chief Information Security Officer. Holli Bohren – Chief Financial Officer. BAT is headquartered in San Francisco, with an additional office in London. As of December 2019, their workforce has grown to over 100 employees. Brave has a few competitors in the Blockchain space disrupting digital advertising. Papyrus and Adshares both offer similar Blockchain based advertising ecosystems. The main difference is that they focus primarily on publishers and advertisers, leaving users out of the equation. Braves toughest challenge however will come from the fierce competition it faces in the web and mobile browser space. As of March 2018, Google Chrome, Safari, Internet explorer and Firefox collectively made up about 90% of the browser market. Ad blocking capabilities and even an incentive based token ecosystem are features that any of these browsers could replicate if they choose to. Brave will have to offer much more in order to be considered a viable alternative for everyday users. BAT Price Performance The BAT token launched in June 2017 at a price of $0.17. A month later on July 16, 2017 the token hit an all-time low of $0.066209. It was fortunate timing though as it came just before the great rally in cryptocurrencies at the end of 2017, and BAT hit its all-time high of $0.980702 on January 9, 2018. Of course, from there it dropped throughout 2018 as the entire cryptocurrency space suffered a deep bear market. 2019 saw a recovery early in the year, with BAT reaching $0.44391 by April 21, 2019. Of course, it dropped off those levels but has been holding up fairly well in 2019 compared with many other altcoins. BAT Price Performance. Image via CMC. As of early December 2019, it remains above its launch price and is trading at $0.186301 on December 4, 2019. A week early the BAT token had reached $0.277868 as it rallied following the release of the first production Brave browser. The chart indicates that BATs price (like most other coins) is moving in accordance with the general wave of market sentiment around crypto-currencies. Like most blockchain projects, I believe it will take some time before the technology is validated enough for the token to start defining its own price trends in the crypto-currency market. BAT Markets & Storage When it comes to the markets for BAT, it is quite a popular token and is listed on a number of exchanges including Binance, Coinbase Pro, Bittrex, Huobi etc. However, over 50% of the volume is currently taking place on two of the top exchanges. This is not one of our preferred exchanges and the fact that the bulk of the trading is taking place here is a potential problem for open market liquidity. It means that these exchanges could have an outsized impact on the market for BAT. Register at Binance and Buy BAT Tokens Having said that, the individual liquidity on the order books of exchanges like Binance are pretty deep and liquid. This means that you can execute your orders with relatively little slippage (even for those large block orders). Once you have your Bat, you'll need a place to store them safely. The Brave browser uses Uphold to keep your tokens as you earn them for viewing ads, so that's always an option. Bat is also an ERC-20 token, so if you already have a wallet that supports this type of token, you can use that. If you don't, there are plenty to choose from. These include wallets such as MetaMask, MyEtherWallet and hardware wallets such a Trezor / Ledger. Based on this review there are a number of opportunities and challenges that I have identified with the Brave browser. These are just my opinion and I encourage you to do your own research. First, lets take a look at some of the opportunities we have with Brave & BAT: In true Blockchain fashion, BAT aims to displace the middlemen ad exchanges responsible for polluting the ad experience by creating an incentive based decentralized network where publishers, advertisers and users can more effectively feed off of each other's needs The team is highly experienced and has proven to be successful in creating disruptive technologies Braves browser provides much faster speeds as a result of its ad blocking features Braves privacy browser is already up and working with 10 million monthly users The browser monitors user attention in real time, while maintaining anonymity and privacy for users The public is increasingly becoming more aware of how ads are negatively impacting their experience. This is shown by the rise in ad blocking software globally (600m devices). At the same time, traditional publishers have lost approximately 66% of their ad revenue over the past decade Brave Daily User Growth. Image via Brave. However, there are quite a few disadvantages and challenges that the browser could face coming forward. These include some of the following: BAT is relying on people adopting the Brave browser, which could be trouble because of strong competition from Google Chrome, Safari and Brendan's former company – Firefox. There have been discussions around of Brave developing a Chrome extension to expose their solution to more users, but no release date has been confirmed. Advertisers may still face challenges with converting users into paying customers. It seems like the profile of a Brave browser user is someone who: Already uses or is interested in using an ad blocker Wants a faster browsing experience Wants to get paid for viewing ads Wants to see more relevant ads Wants to save money on mobile data At this time it's not so clear which of the 5 traits most accurately describe a Brave user. One would have to assume that having access to an ad blocker would be most important. However in order for Brave to provide advertisers with a higher ROI, they need to attract users who are willing to pay for products they discover through ads, even though they may only be using the service to earn tokens by viewing these ads. Generally, people who are interested in viewing ads for money usually aren't in a position to pay for the products being advertised to them, and in the worst case, may seek to manipulate their views in order to earn more tokens. This could be a concern for advertisers hoping to attract real customers and increase sales by using Brave. Brave browser faces stiff competition from the likes of Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox and others. Although they're currently showing impressive growth with 8 million monthly users, the browser is going to need to form large strategic partnerships that allow for BAT to become integrated into the browsing experience of everyday users across the web. At the same time, advertisers are going to need assurance that the incentive-based model being proposed will actually help them convert their ad dollars into product sales, and not just guarantee more ad views. Although Adblockers and a token-based ecosystem are great value propositions, I believe what will ultimately bring Brave and its Basic attention token to mass adoption is the cost savings from reduced data spent on ad downloads and trackers. The appeal of a browser that can help people cut down 20% of their monthly phone bill is widespread and could be utilized to form partnerships with mobile data providers like Verizon and AT&T. Ad downloads and trackers currently cost users $23 a month in mobile data. Braves browser cuts down on these costs significantly through its ad blocking technology. Based on this knowledge, Brave could partner with AT&T, Verizon, and other mobile data providers to reward customers with a discount on unlimited data plans when they adopt the Brave browser on their mobile phone. From AT&T and Verizon's perspective, if customers commit to using a low bandwidth browser, data providers can offer them unlimited data at a lower cost to their business. AT&T and Verizon could benefit from people paying a slightly lower price for their unlimited data plan ($10 or $15 discount for example) because those same consumers might be saving mobile providers $20 or $30 per account by using the Brave browser to cut down their average monthly data usage by 0.5GB. Ultimately, the value of Braves browser to AT&T and Verizon would be to help them reduce the cost of serving their customers with unlimited data. Such a partnership could allow Brave and BAT access to several million more users. There's currently no mention of a mobile data provider partnership occurring, but as a consumer, I'd definitely be excited about the possibility of Verizon charging me $15 less to use their unlimited data plan by simply switching browsers and purchasing BAT. It's too early to tell, but I wouldn't put it past Brendan and his team to explore discounted mobile data plans as the ideal incentive to encourage more mainstream adoption and increased voluntary ad views on the Brave Browser.

Sanyo Corporation of Japan is expected to launch an ultra small microphone that could benefit James Bond. This new microphone which fits inside the ear could make mobile phone and media player headsets almost invisible in future. This microphone is powered by Sanyo's LC70700W chip which uses sophisticated signal processing technology. How does Sanyo Ultra Small Microphone Work? A vibrating diaphragm inside the earphone generates sound, much like a standard earphone. However, the same diaphragm is also able simultaneously to pick up the user's speech. The volume level of speech recorded inside the ear is only around three per cent of the normal amplitude picked up by standard microphones close to the mouth, according to Sanyo. But the chip's digital signal processor is able to separate out the weak voice signal from environmental sounds. The processor also removes its own audio output from the voice signal. The device relies on sound waves which travel internally through the head to the inner ear when people speak. These internal sound waves make the ear drum vibrate slightly, and the air movement caused by this faint vibration is picked up by Sanyo's combined earphone and microphone. This technology looks pretty interesting; I wonder what would be the audio quality on these headsets if they are indeed going to be used along with media players?

New York State's First Recreational Cannabis Dispensary, Housing Works Cannabis Co, Opens Dec. 29 in Manhattan Major Milestone for New York's Legal Cannabis Market Prioritizes Social Equity, Furthers Nonprofit's Advocacy for People Impacted by the War on Drugs Housing Works Cannabis Co, one of the first recreational cannabis dispensaries to be awarded a CAURD license in the state of New York, is coming to Manhattan with a soft opening scheduled on Thursday, Dec. 29. The storefront located at 750 Broadway in the Astor Place neighborhood is operated by Housing Works, an iconic nonprofit dedicated to relentless advocacy and lifesaving services for tens of thousands of New Yorkers in need. "This is a once in a lifetime moment," said Sasha Nutgent, Store Manager of Housing Works Cannabis Co. "That said, our nonprofit's mission remains as urgent as ever. We are eager to take the lead as a social equity model for America's cannabis industry, specifically with our hiring practices and continued support of individuals and communities disproportionately impacted by the unjust War on Drugs." All proceeds from dispensary sales will be directed to parent organization Housing Works, Inc., founded in 1990 to address the dual crises of HIV/AIDS and homelessness. The self-sustaining nonprofit provides job opportunities, legal advocacy and comprehensive housing and health services funded, in part, by revenues from its thrift stores, SoHo bookstore and now its cannabis dispensary. With a focus on compassion and dispelling stigmas, Housing Works endeavors to move the cannabis industry forward by supporting the practical needs of their community through an equity-driven and harm reduction approach. "At our core, we're a healing community dedicated to providing housing, healthcare and vocational programs for New Yorkers," said Charles King, CEO of Housing Works. "This opportunity will not only give our team the resources to further our overall mission, but to feature and elevate products coming from LGBTQ+, BIPOC and women-led cannabis brands across the state." Spanning 4,400 square feet, the renowned building where the dispensary will be, known as 1 Astor Place, was completed in 1883. Housing Works Cannabis Co will welcome patrons with an introductory shopping experience upon opening, with plans to carefully build out an expanded and thoughtfully curated space as cannabis products become more available. "With its history of supporting New Yorkers, particularly formerly incarcerated individuals, we're proud that Housing Works is seizing this opportunity to grow its resources and deliver more for New Yorkers," said Chris Alexander, Executive Director for the Office of Cannabis Management. "When this store opens, consumers will have the opportunity to purchase tested, safer products grown by family farmers across New York State, reducing risk while supporting their communities." As part of its soft opening on Thursday, Dec. 29, Housing Works Cannabis Co will host a news conference at 10 a.m. with scheduled appearances by elected officials, ahead of opening to the public at 4:20 p.m. Housing Works Cannabis Co, located at 750 Broadway in Manhattan, will be open seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Hours will adjust in the coming weeks.

Housing Works Cannabis Co Housing Works Cannabis Co is a recipient of New York State's social equity license initiative and the first legal cannabis dispensary to open in the state. Founded in 2022 as a bold new extension of Housing Works' established retail outlets—which include thrift store locations across the city and a bookstore in SoHo—proceeds from Housing Works Cannabis Co go directly to the nonprofit organization's mission to end social injustices through the provisioning of lifesaving services and relentless advocacy. For thirty years, Housing Works has provided housing, healthcare and other critical services to New Yorkers affected by AIDS, homelessness, substance use and criminal justice system involvement.

I wanted there to be a fall-back in case I forget to power it off when I leave the car. 16:44:26 jh101 What I do is set it to 120 minutes in the persistent settings menu (knowing that it only takes about 90 minutes to get to work). 16:44:49 jh101 This way, if I forget to power down, it will shut off shortly thereafter and I won't return to find a dead unit. 16:46:47 jh101 That's fine, but is there one being implemented? 16:47:24 Zagor there's one requested. and I think it's a good idea. 16:47:30 jh101 How would it work? 16:49:39 Zagor no? isn't your DC cut off when you turn off the car? 16:51:27 jh101 It can be set to off (O minutes), of course, if you did not want to use it. 16:51:42 Zagor it's not how people are used to sleep timers working. we'll get bug reports "unit turned off mysteriously after 45 minutes!" 16:52:23 jh101 Only if the go and set it to 45 minutes...plus it prints "Zzzz...." as it turns off. 16:55:05 jh101 The way it is implemented, you could simply leave the persistent setting to 0 (off) and set the sleep timer manually thru F2...To me, it seems that it serves both types of users (you and me). 16:56:53 jh101 No, you're misunderstanding what I am saying...This is how it works: if you want to set the persistent setting, you go to the settings menu and do so, or else leave it on the default of 0 (off). 16:57:25 jh101 Then, if you at some point need the sleep time, set it with F2 (which does NOT change the persistent setting). 16:58:01 Zagor we're having two timers? 16:58:44 jh101 No, the F2 screen shows you what the remaining sleep time is and allows you to change it FOR THE CURRENT SESSSION ONLY. 16:59:46 Zagor ah, I see. 17:00:04 Zagor I need to think about this some more, thank you for explaining it to me. 17:00:08 jh101 Would you like me to email you the ajbrec.ajz file so you can see it for yourself? 17:01:39 jh101 I wanted any quick way to access all my playlists, so I added an item to the F3 screen. 17:02:53 jh101 When to hit F3, the unit checks the ./playlists directory - using the UP arrow cycles through each playlist in that directory−− when you have the one you want, press PLAY to launch it. 17:04:35 jh101 I know, that's why I'm working on adding new screens - accessed by DOUBLE clicking F2! 17:05:32 jh101 Click F2 once, you get the current F2 screen, but if you click it twice (within, say 1 second), you get different screen. 17:07:06 jh101 it's simple: simply check the time when you enter F2 and when you exit, if less than, say, 1 second, it was a double click - i've implemented it and it seems to be viable. 17:07:53 Zagor i need to go out a while. see you later. 18:05:40 *** Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" 19:29:54 werty1st do u still think about ogg4? 19:30:24 werty1st do u still think about ogg? 19:31:44 werty1st could it be possible to replace the mp3 chip from the archos with one who is writeable? 19:33:52 werty1st if i copy a bootdisk on my jukebox will i be able to boot frrom the jukebox? 19:34:08 werty1st or is the jukebox drive different from normal usb HDs? 19:34:57 werty1st do u know why there are different? 19:39:37 Zagor which model do you have? 19:41:32 werty1st i haven´t yet tested the new daily mod but there is still missing a good playlistgenerator or am i wrong? 19:42:25 Zagor no, it's still missing. i think it will come soon, though. 19:44:22 werty1st where is the differencee between disk spindown and power off? 19:46:54 Zagor it powers off right after spindown. it's just an extra battery saving measure. 19:49:07 werty1st why doesn´t it allways power off after spindown? 19:50:39 Zagor what model of harddisk do you have? 19:51:04 werty1st where can i look for the modedl type? 19:53:58 werty1st whats wrong with my hd? 19:54:37 werty1st does it have other commands to wake up? 20:05:41 *** Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" 22:05:42 *** Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" 23:10:06 PhantomDJP but I've have find that.. 23:13:25 PhantomDJP And an interface ? 23:13:35 PhantomDJP betwenn two archos ? 23:15:16 [keno] what's the big deal? just copy from drive X to drive Y and unplug both when done.. not that much of a hassle.. 23:18:45 PhantomDJP not stupid, but... do you try it ? 23:20:07 [keno] didn't get the multimedia box as it was (is) way too expensive. 23:20:29 PhantomDJP FM recorder have the same firmware than a recorder but a bit "power up" 23:20:45 [keno] phantom really? it's french???

Most of us use herbs to flavour our food. But did you know that most herbs also have a carminative effect? So not only do they make the food taste great, they also improve your digestion! Even if you don't have a large space to make for instance a kitchen garden, there is still a lot you can grow on a small space. If you have a balcony, a veranda, a porch or some small available space, you can grow some of your vegetables yourself. You just have to be a little inventive and make good use of the space you have.

Through USB Power Delivery technology the Apple 15" MacBook Pro (2018) is able to charge with third party Power Delivery based chargers such as the AUKEY PA-Y12 Amp 60W PD 3.0 USB-C Wall Charger. The Aukey charger enables 20V charging using USB Power Delivery 3.0 over USB Type-C supporting both standard PDO (Power Data Objects) protocol and PPS (Programmable Power Supply). We observed charging after plugging in the AUKEY PA-Y12 Amp 60W PD 3.0 USB-C Wall Charger to a Thunderbolt 3 based USB-C connector on the Apple 15" MacBook Pro (2018) using the Mac's own supplied Apple USB-C Charge Cable (2m) accessory. As the voltage quickly stepped up from initial 5 volts to around a 19.8 volts rail, it took only about 1 second later for the Mac to start pulling current. The current could be seen to spike up to 3.1 amps for about 62 watts (20 volts @ 3.1 amps) charging which was the highest power drawn by the Mac. This then followed by a sudden drop of current down to near .5 amps leading to a series of rapid changing current from .3 amps to below 2 amps. At random times the Mac could be seen to pull around 1.8 amps to max out charging at about 35.6 watts (19.8 volts @ 1.8 amps) with the Aukey charger. Click here to download the trace captured by the GRL-A1 power analyzer to see more details. The Mac could only briefly achieve max 60W charging with the Aukey charger in the initial stage where subsequent charging dropped to almost half the power. This doesn't allow the Mac to charge as fast as using its own shipped Apple 87W charger which we observed here or even with a Apple 61W charger in this review. Similar with both these Apple chargers, the Mac also uses aggressive power management schemes with the Aukey charger such that even while the charger was connected to the Mac, the current repeatedly went up close to 1.5-1.8 amps at repeated intervals.

OVO Foundation pledges £120,000 to support communities during Coronavirus OVO Foundation has pledged £120,000 to support seven local partners. Each will receive a cash grant from OVO Foundation, and volunteering support when appropriate from OVO staff. We've formed partnerships with organisations that are providing both immediate relief and long-term responses to people affected by Coronavirus. Our goal remains the same: to help meet the needs of local communities and come together to create positive social change. 2nd June 2020 - OVO Foundation pledges £120,000 towards seven local partners that are providing immediate and long-term relief to communities and people affected by Coronavirus. Each organisation will receive a cash grant and will be supported by OVO staff volunteers over the year. Now entering its fifth year, OVO Gives Back is providing vital support to reflect the current needs of local communities. OVO Gives Back has increased its funding to support seven organisations providing immediate support and long-term relief to local communities during the Coronavirus pandemic. The grant will also help to build resilient and sustainable communities over the next 12 months. OVO Foundation historically helps charities tackle complex social problems - including youth homelessness and educational inequality. This year, OVO Gives Back has required a shift in perspective due to the Coronavirus outbreak. This year OVO Gives Back is supporting the following causes: Beam (London): will crowdfund job training and emergency care packages for disadvantaged young people facing homelessness Caring in Bristol: provide food and essential items to the homeless community in Bristol, whilst using remaining funding to redevelop their youth homelessness service. Dunfermline Food Bank: the grant will support local, vulnerable groups with food and vital supplies. Greenspace Scotland: pilot a new youth project that focuses on local actions to achieve net zero targets. Rowlands (Selkirk): the grant will help produce 'Radio Rowland' to keep young people connected. Square Food Foundation (Bristol): a weekend cooking club will be provided for local families at risk of going hungry. The Matthew Tree Project (Bristol): the grant will be used to install a kitchen on their premises to turn surplus, perishable food into nutritious meals for the community. Gaby Sethi, Head of OVO Foundation, said: "We know that Coronavirus will have a devastating and disproportionate impact on the most disadvantaged people in our community. And so we're really pleased to be using our OVO Gives Back initiative to support partners who address the urgent issues created or worsened by the Coronavirus crisis that affect local people through OVO Gives Back. Over the past four years, we're proud to have invested over half a million pounds into local charities, whilst continuing to give back through OVO employees' volunteering support. We're extremely proud to play a part in supporting organisations that will be vital to developing community resilience and helping society build back better once the Coronavirus crisis subsides." Seb Barker, Co-Founder and COO, Beam, said: "This funding from OVO Gives Back will help Beam to provide even more homeless families with emergency care packages during this difficult time. From laptops to help kids with school work to food parcels and children's clothing, these much-needed items will support some of the most vulnerable people in society." Edd Smith, Head of Development, Caring in Bristol said: "This partnership with OVO Foundation will have an impressive impact on our work and help us to provide vital services to those who are homeless and vulnerably housed in Bristol, all of whom are dangerously exposed during COVID19. The partnership will help fund our Cheers Drive project which is currently feeding over 370 homeless people each day and has so far delivered over 45,000 meals to our clients in need. Community partnerships are important to us, our vision is to create a city empowered to solve homelessness and collaboration with forward-thinking organisations is a key way to achieve this."
