You’ve seen those images of powerful women donning crisp suits, striking an imposing stance, exuding confidence and control. The power suit connotes authority and success, it’s a classic fashion staple in any ambitious woman’s wardrobe. But in the sea of black blazers and white shirts, how do you make your style stand out? How do you maintain your unique femininity while still looking every bit the boss that you are?
The answer: add a bow blouse. Yes, you heard right. It’s time to take this vintage-inspired fashion item and breathe new life into it. In this article, we will show you how to incorporate a bow blouse with your power suit, the perfect marriage of femininity and authority for a look that’s both professional and chic.
You can never go wrong with the timeless combination of black and white. It has a certain elegance and sophistication that no other color combination can replicate. A white bow blouse under a black suit, for instance, immediately elevates your look from standard office attire to fashion-forward professional.
To get this look, choose a white bow blouse made of a material like silk or chiffon, which adds a touch of luxury to the outfit. Pair it with a sharp black blazer and tailored trousers. The contrast between the soft, flowing blouse and the structured suit creates an interesting dynamic, illustrating a balance between soft femininity and strong authority.

Remember, the bow is your statement piece, so let it shine. Tie it in a pussy bow for a more classic look, or let it hang loose for a modern twist. Either way, it’s a simple yet effective way to add a unique touch to an otherwise plain suit.
While a bow blouse can be dressed up for a formal business suit, it can also be dressed down for a smart-casual look. This versatility makes it a worthy addition to any wardrobe.
Try pairing a soft pastel bow blouse with a pair of slim-fit trousers and a blazer in a neutral tone. You could even switch out the trousers for a pair of high-waisted jeans for a more relaxed look. This combination creates a sense of effortlessness, proving that fashion and comfort can indeed go hand-in-hand.
Consider also the way you wear your bow. Tied in a neat bow, it gives a more formal impression. But worn loose or untied, it creates a more relaxed, boho-chic vibe. Either way, this versatile top allows you to express your personal style while still looking polished and professional.
Who says suits have to be dull? Adding a pop of color to your outfit can make a world of difference. And what better way to do this than with a vibrant bow blouse?
Choose a bright, bold color that complements your suit. A red bow blouse, for instance, would pair wonderfully with a navy blazer. Alternatively, a royal blue bow blouse would look stunning under a grey suit. The pop of color provides a nice contrast to the neutral tones of the suit, adding some visual interest to your outfit.
The bow can also be a focal point in this look. Experiment with different ways to tie it, such as a loose knot or a classic bow, to see what works best for you. The key is to balance the boldness of the blouse with the subtlety of the suit, creating a look that’s both eye-catching and professional.
If you’re more adventurous with your style, why not try a patterned bow blouse? It’s a great way to introduce some personality into your outfit and make a fashion statement.
There are countless pattern options to choose from – stripes, florals, polka dots – the list goes on. Just remember, if you opt for a busy pattern, keep your suit simple. This will allow your blouse to stand out and avoid your outfit looking too busy.
Also consider the style of your bow. A pussy bow, for instance, can add an elegant touch to a fun, patterned blouse. On the other hand, a loose bow can lend a more relaxed, boho feel to the outfit. As with all fashion, it’s all about finding what works best for your personal style.
Finally, consider creating a monochrome outfit. While it may seem daunting, a monochrome look can actually be very chic and sophisticated when done right.
Choose a bow blouse and suit in the same color for a streamlined, modern look. To add some dimension, play around with textures and materials. For instance, a silk bow blouse would contrast beautifully with a wool suit, creating an outfit that’s both visually interesting and stylish.
Again, the bow can be the highlight of this look. A bold, | [

Britney Spears has been looking good lately, and the proof is in her tummy.
This week, the pop star was spotted leaving The Cheesecake Factory (she's just like us!) wearing a lace sleeveless crop top that showed off her impressive abs.
That's not all: the 32-year-old also made us super jealous with her toned legs that were accentuated by khaki shorts and wedges.
Seriously, the mom hasn't rocked these kind of abs since she was a teen, and we would argue that she looks even better in her thirties.
Check out Brit's hot look in the video above.

During this time, my parents would hold from time to time a formal cocktail party. When I say "formal", I mean that men would come dressed in a suit and tie while the women would wear something of a similar degree of formality. My brother and I as youngsters around the ages of 5 to 8, would also get dressed up in something a bit formal, sometimes a suit and our own tie and help out at the parties. Both of us would assist our parents in serving drinks, walking through the crowd with trays of hors d’œuvres and providing whatever other service may have been called for.
I remember winding my way through our living room full of adults towering over little me. I developed a very distinct image of what an adult was: this self-assured professional looking man dressed in a suit and tie, holding his glass in one hand as he spoke with intelligence and conviction of who knows what topic. I was duly impressed by this display of maturity and figured that one day, I too would become an "adult".
At the age of 19, I was in a clothing store browsing for something in the racks when a voice behind me said, "May I help you, sir?" I continued browsing as I felt that anybody addressing somebody with the word "sir" could not be talking to me. The voice repeated itself and I turned around to discover that the attendant was talking to me. I was somewhat flabbergasted. Calling me "sir" struck me as so out of place. The word for me evoked an adult, one of those professional looking men in a suit and tie and at that particular moment, I certainly did not fit the bill.
I am now 57 years old. I’m still waiting. I’m still waiting for that magic moment when "poof!" I become an adult. I’m chuckling at writing this as I’m thinking of those people in the living room of my home at one of my parents’ cocktail parties. I still have this image of the man dressed in suit and tie, full of self-assurance, confident, in control of the situation and at par with all those around him. Me? Oh, I sometimes have doubts, I may not always be self-assured; I sometimes am not in control of the situation and do not always feel at par with all those around me. Hmmm, what happened? I thought I was going to cross a line, become 20 or 25 then all of a sudden, I would become one of those adults at the cocktail party. Oddly enough, that hasn’t quite happened.
In fact, I can clearly admit that at the age of 57, I’m not sure how much I think, feel or act differently then let’s say, when I was 30 or 25 or 20. I’m sure there are differences, after all I am now coming to the table with over 30 years of experience as an adult, but there is this question of what do I feel. How many times have I been in circumstances where I enter a room and I don’t know anybody? There is that horrible feeling of being out of place: everybody else knows one another and they are all looking at me, the outsider. I still laugh when I first discovered that this wasn’t necessarily true; not everybody always knew each other and how many other people in the room were exactly like me. They had the same feeling of being out of place and were so grateful when I would make the first move by talking with them. We breathe a sigh of relief when somebody breaks the ice, no?
Yes, I am aware of not always being so self-assured but armed with this knowledge, I can do something about it. I’ll walk into a room, look around with assurance and walk up to the first person, stick out my hand and say hello. I may be feeling out of place but I overcome that feeling and plough ahead. Damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead!
In the meantime, I’m still waiting for that magic moment when I become an adult; when I become one of those self-assured professional looking men I remember at my parents’ cocktail parties during the 50’s. [chuckles] Will I someday become Ward Cleaver? | [

By Dave Nanda, Director of Genetics & Technology for Seed Consultants, Inc.
Plant breeders try to develop new varieties with highest yield potential and select for disease resistance at the same time. However, it is almost impossible to develop resistance to all of the prevalent diseases while developing new varieties or hybrids. We have created some excellent genetic traits for insect tolerance but disease organisms are constantly changing and by the time breeders develop varieties resistant to certain disease organism, the pathogen changes. Nature has its own “breeding program” for the survival of its species. In order to maximize the potential yield of our crops, we need to protect them from diseases also and use of fungicides is one way.
Different disease organisms become more prevalent in certain growing conditions, for example, gray leaf spot likes high humidity and high temperature. Conservation tillage has also increased the incidence of many diseases. Some popular corn hybrids on the market have high yield potential but are very susceptible to certain pathogens, which increase the probability of disease development. You really don’t need to apply foliar fungicides to all hybrids if they are resistant to the diseases present in your fields but you do need to scout your fields regularly where as others might have to be sprayed with the fungicides.
Some fungicide producers have been promoting the use of foliar fungicides even at early vegetative stage to increase yields. Tests conducted by universities indicate that it is not cost effective to apply fungicides without the presence of the disease. My scouting experience during the last few years have shown that you don’t have to apply fungicides to all hybrids or even all fields planted on different dates because some fields might escape the disease The ideal time to apply fungicides on corn is after all pollen-shed is complete and silks start to turn brown.
What is the best way to apply foliar fungicides? Recent studies have shown that ground spraying is more effective than aerial application. The lesions of the fungi have to be covered with the fungicides in order to stop their growth or kill them. Fungicides don’t increase yield, but they can protect the yield potential of the crop plants in the presence of the fungal diseases. Fungicides do not protect your crops from diseases caused by bacteria or viruses. | [

December 2014 - Texas
The President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT) is a 52-mile (84 km) toll road running through the northern, northeastern and western suburbs, forming a partial loop around Dallas, Texas. It is named for George H. W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States. At its west end near Belt Line Road in Irving, State Highway 161(SH 161) continues southwest to Interstate 20 (I-20) in Grand Prairie.
I've shown you this red canoe in the summer.

AbstractCrude oil and gas production wells, which no longer produce oil or gas utilizing conventional primary and secondary means of recovery, can be returned to production by treatment comprising addition of an aqueous solution of certain phosphate ester surfactants followed by successive treatment with a hydrocarbon. Increased production also can be obtained in low-producing oil and gas wells by similar treatment with certain phosphate ester surfactants. Subsequent to treatment of a producer well, the phosphate ester surfactant is forced into the formation utilizing a hydrocarbon and said surfactant and hydrocarbon mixture is allowed to remain in the producing well, for an effective period of time ranging from not less than 24 hours to one month. Thereafter, pumping and/or conventional fluid drive means are then utilized to recover oil or gas from the subterranean oil or gas formation. The amount of aqueous surfactant solution and hydrocarbon utilized are sufficent to permeate the oil or gas subterranian formation in the area immediately adjacent to the producing well bore and up to a radius therefrom of about 20 feet. | [

The weight of proteins or nucleic acids in solution is commonly determined by UV spectros-copy using the Beer-Lambert law. For example, the e of double-stranded DNA at 260 nmis 6670 M21cm21. The formula weight of the repeating unit in DNA (650 Daltons onaverage) can be used as the molecular weight. What is the weight of DNA in 2.0 mL ofaqueous buffer if the absorbance, measured in a 1-cm cuvette, is 0.75?

Lufthansa plans trans-atlantic bio-fuel test
Lufthansa reckons it has saved 1,471 tonnes of CO2 from trials of bio-fuel in Germany and it now plans to trial a trans-atlantic flight using the fuel.
The airline has just completed a six-month trial involving biosynthetic fuel.
In all, 1,187 biofuel flights were operated between Hamburg and Frankfurt. According to initial calculations, CO2 emissions were reduced by 1,471 tonnes. Total consumption of the bio-kerosene mix amounted to 1,556 tonnes.
The first scheduled transatlantic flight to the United States using the fuel is planned for 12 January 2012. A Boeing 747-400, carrying about 40 tonnes of a biosynthetic fuel mix, will fly from Frankfurt to Washington.
Lufthansa expects to reduce CO2 emissions by 38 tonnes on this flight, equivalent to the CO2 emissions of six scheduled flights between Frankfurt and Berlin.
Bio-fuel works on the basis that plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. When aircraft engines burn biofuel, this CO2 is released back into the atmosphere. Bio-fuel emits about 50 per cent less CO2 than conventional fossil fuels.
IATA has set an industry-wide target for airlines of reducing net CO2 emissions by 50 per cent by the year 2050 compared to 2005.
“If we want to protect our climate and thus our future in a sustainable manner, we need innovative ideas and technologies and an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels – particularly in view of the growing demand for mobility worldwide,” said Christoph Franz, chairman of the executive board of Deutsche Lufthansa. | [

Yandex.Ukraine's accounts blocked – company
Accounts of Yandex.Ukraine LLC in Ukraine have been blocked, the press service of the company told Interfax-Ukraine on Thursday.
"As president's decree No. 133 took effect all our accounts that Yandex.Ukraine LLC could use to send remuneration to partners of the Yandex advertisement chain have been blocked. All funds are stayed on accounts created for partners, but we cannot send them to the accounts of partners," the press service said.
The company is looking for a lawful decision to send the funds and continue cooperation.
"It is important for us to implement commitments," the company said.
Earlier Yandex.Ukraine denied statements of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), in particular, that the company did not respond to relevant inquiries.
"We worked and are working strictly in line with legislation. We always react to the inquiries of the SBU and other law enforcement agencies of Ukraine meeting the rules. Yandex is not a social network. It does not have own social network that could spread content mentioned in the SBU's statement," the company said. | [

Painting bed cabs?
Edit: bed caps, not cabs lol
Has anyone painted or heard of anyone painting the stock gray EDGE bed caps? Mine look kinda crappy and kinda old, I was thinking about using the duplicolor bedliner that comes in the spray can on them.

The Department’s FO provided 73 LGUs in Caraga with a total of P1.525 billion fund for the implementation of the program, which is intended to support low-income families whose livelihoods have been affected by the implementation of the enhanced community quarantine. The LGUs have disbursed 100% of the funds.
Family beneficiaries in Caraga received a P5,000 cash subsidy.
The LGUs are now preparing their liquidation reports and other pertinent documents for the validation of DSWD. To date, some 20 local governments in the region have already submitted their liquidation reports.
Efficient SAP implementation
DSWD has earlier lauded the LGUs in Caraga for their prompt and efficient implementation of SAP.
Two days after the Department released the fund for the program, 18 local governments in the region started delivering the aid to their constituents.
Among the key strategies that the LGUs implemented which led to an efficient SAP distribution in their localities include maintaining close coordination of local social welfare and development office (LSWDOs) staff, barangay officials, and purok leaders with the personnel of DSWD FO Caraga from conducting the assessment to the distribution of the aid; the use of social media; and announcing information on SAP in the villages to keep constituents informed about the program.
LGUs have also set up hotlines where their constituents can come forward with any questions or clarifications regarding SAP. To ensure safety and order during the distribution of the aid, they also coordinated with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the Philippine National Police (PNP), and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), especially when going to the Geographically
Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA).
In addition, the local Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) has also been involved in developing appropriate SAP implementation policies and strategies for the region.
DSWD continues to provide technical assistance to LGUs nationwide to help them finish distributing the cash aid to their target beneficiaries the soonest possible time. ### | [

News reports say the upcoming cost of living adjustment (COLA) for Social Security could be “huge,” but the Senior Citizens League says it will still be unfair to seniors and not enough to compensate for their actual increased expenses.
“My COLA estimate has dropped to 8.7% almost a full percentage point from the 9.6% that I forecast last month. That was a significant drop, but the Consumer Price Index, CPI-W (CPI-W), the index that Social Security benefits are based on, has decreased even [more] —by 1.10 percentage point year over year to 8.7%,” noted Mary Johnson, Social Security and Medicare analyst for the League.
In response to Johnson’s above announcement,“ one respondent noted the “progressive LOSS OF BUYING POWER OF 40% despite SS COLA from 2000 and … 10% from 2021-2022 alone. This means we have lost (almost) half our real income in face of COLAs. Clearly COLAs are SERIOUSLY INSUFFICIENT and many poor seniors as I who depend ONLY on SS (100% in my case) will financially drown.”
Although an increase of 8.7% would be the highest by far in decades and the most anyone alive would have ever received, the method that the Social Security Administration (SSA) uses to calculate COLA allegedly does not accurately reflect the spending patterns of seniors, which can be quite different than the working-age population.
The average monthly benefit seniors are receiving in 2022 is $1,657 following a COLA bump of 5.9% in January, according to the SSA. A further 8.7% adjustment would add $144 in 2023 and move the average to $1,801 per month. This amount applies both to seniors and those receiving disability benefits under the social security program.
The projected cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, for 2023 is 9.6%, according to the Senior Citizens League. That bump would raise the average retiree benefit of $1,656 by $158.98, according to the organization. Keep up with inflation? pic.twitter.com/NGJ9CIrVtb
— Rico Johnson (@riconcc5) October 8, 2022
The SSA calculates COLA based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which is in turn calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics each month. Federal law stipulates that the COLA increase be based upon “the CPI-W increase from the average for the third quarter of the current year to the average for the third quarter of the last year in which a COLA became effective,” according to the SSA.
“One of the biggest issues in using the CPI-W to calculate the Social Security COLA is the fact that it does not track the spending of retired households age 62 and up and gives greater weight to gasoline and transportation costs,” noted Johnson. “A significant drop in gasoline prices played an outsized role in why my COLA estimate has dropped. It’s important that the public understand that to fight inflation the Administration temporarily lifted the 18.3 cents per gallon federal tax on gasoline for 90 days. That period started in July and ends in September, the SAME third quarter period that is used to calculate the COLA.”
The proportion of income spent on healthcare, food, and housing is higher for seniors and the disabled than the general population, while spending on gasoline is lower, according to Johnson. “Over the past 12 months, they rank food costs as their fastest growing expenditure, housing, and transportation in that order.”
No thanks to democrats. With the CPI for August now available, the nonprofit Senior Citizens League has predicted a COLA increase of 8.7%. That’s more modest than its claim of 10% earlier in the year, but would still be the highest since 1981, when the COLA was 11.2%. pic.twitter.com/pzI23hpO8d
— David I (@dinkyMD) October 10, 2022
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics noted that “increases in shelter, food and medical care were the largest of many contributors” to the August CPI-W increase. But according to the League, those three costs are not given proper weighting for seniors and disabled Americans, resulting in a perennial and progressive loss of purchasing power.
“Based on inflation through August, we calculate that the COLA for August 2022 has fallen short on average by 48%. A $1,656 benefit is short about $43.80 per month on average and by a total of $417.60 year to date,” noted the League.
The Senior Citizens League is taking polls on its website on whether a person supports a temporary two-year suspension on the federal taxation of Social Security benefits to help address unexpected bills, | [

Tablet computers are so easy to use that even a 3-year-old can master them. That has some pediatricians and other health experts worried.
Since navigating a tablet generally doesn't require the ability to type or read, children as young as toddlers can quickly learn how to stream movies, scroll through family photos or play simple games. That ease-of-use makes tablets —and smartphones— popular with busy parents who use them to pacify their kids during car rides, restaurant outings or while they're at home trying to get dinner on the table. Many feel a little less guilty about it if they think there's educational value to the apps and games their children use.
The devices are expected to rank among the top holiday gifts for children this year. Gadget makers such as Samsung have introduced tablets specifically designed for kids and many manufacturers of adult tablets now include parental controls. Those products are in addition to the slew of kiddie tablets produced by electronic toy makers such as LeapFrog, Vtech and Toys R Us.
But some experts note there's no evidence that screen time — whether from a TV or tablet — provides any educational or developmental benefits for babies and toddlers. Yet it takes away from activities that do promote brain development, such as non-electronic toys and adult interaction. They also say that too much screen time has been linked to behaviour problems and delayed social development in older children.
Dr. Dimitri Christakis, a pediatrician at Seattle Children's Hospital, points out that iPads have only been on the market for a little over three years, which means tablet-related research is still in its infancy. Christakis says educational games and apps have some value if they engage a child and prompt them to interact with the device, but cautioned that if all children do is watch videos on their tablets, then it's just like watching TV, which has a limited ability to engage a child.
He also notes that parents need be mindful of whether tablet time is replacing more important activities such as sleeping, reading or interacting with adults. He says that while the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than one to two hours of screen time a day for kids over the age of two, he thinks one hour is plenty. "The single most important thing for children is time with parents and caregivers," he says. "Nothing is more important in terms of social development. If time with the tablet comes at the expense of that, that's not good."
Dr. Rahil Briggs, a pediatric psychologist at New York's Montefiore Medical Center, says tablet usage needs to be limited for the youngest of children, because too much screen time can slow language development. Since there's very little research out there so far, experts still don't know exactly how much is too much, she says.
For older children, Briggs says too much tablet use can slow social development. She notes that the solitary nature of the activity means that kids aren't using that time to learn how to make friends or pick up on social cues.
Some experts, however, believe tablets and smartphones possess unique educational benefits. Jill Buban, dean of the School of Education at Post University in Waterbury Conn., says the more children absorb and understand technology before they start school, the more comfortable they'll feel when they enter a classroom for the first time. But she says even the best educational apps must be monitored by parents and limited. She recommends no more than 30 minutes of tablet usage at a time in light of the short attention spans of most young kids. "There's so much media out there and so much marketing," she says. "It's all about smart choices and research, whether it's an app on a tablet or a TV show."
Susan Linn, director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, says parents should be wary of any TV show or app that touts educational benefits for babies or toddlers, saying that scientists have yet to prove that there are any. "Babies and young children are spending huge amounts of time with screen media when really what they need is hands-on creative play, active time and face-to face time with the people that love them," Linn said.
Linn's group, known for its allegations against "Baby Einstein" videos that eventually led to consumer refunds, is urging the Federal Trade Commission to examine the marketing practices of certain apps and games geared toward babies. "The best toys are the ones that just lie there until the child transforms them," Linn said pointing to blocks and stuffed animals as examples. "If all children do is push a button, that's not the kind of play that promotes learning."
Since its debut over 40 years ago, Sesame Street has dealt with questions about the amount of screen time small children should have. Scott Chambers, Sesame Workshop's senior vice-president for digital content, says the brand, which now includes 45 apps and 160 e-books, has gotten a huge boost | [

The Dutch composer Douwe Eisenga writes mesmerizing music for the open mind. Time and again he creates a modern, irresistible groove with classical instruments. The resulting music is an intriguing mix of minimal and maximal, Colorful and sparkling with every new listening.
Douwe Eisenga studied composition with Julius Ament and Wim Diriwachter at the Groningen Conservatory in the Netherlands. He has written pieces for, among others, the Xenakis Ensemble, Super Librum. Python Soxophone Quartet and for pianist’s Gerard Bouwhuis, Jeoren van Veen and Marcel Worms.
In 2001 Marcel Worms recorded Eisenga’s Growing Worm for his CD More new blues for piano. In the same year, Eisenga’s chamber-opera Kabaal (Row) received enthusiastic reviews in the Dutch press. Eisenga continued with Requiem 1953, a large-scale composition for choir and orchestra, performed in 2003 for the commemoration of the flood that struck The Netherlands in 1953. Later on that year, the première of the Piano Concerto took place in Yokohama, Japan, performed by Gerard Bouwhuis and the Xenakis Ensemble. Spring 2004 witnessed the Dutch première of the complete piece at the Centre for New Music in Zeeland (NL).
In 2006 the CD 'Rose Road - City Lines' was released. The CD got very positive reviews in the Dutch press. In 2007 Kabaal was performed about 20 times in a new extended version. In 2008 Eisenga wrote music for Cloud Atlas, a project based on the novel from David Mitchell, performed by members of Nieuw Amsterdam Peil.
The dance-performance Wiek (Rotor) was premiered in 2009, followed by over 30 shows on Dutch festivals as Oerol, Festival over ‘IJ, the Boulevard in Den Bosch and Zeeland Nazomer Festival. Wiek is a location-based production by Boukje Schweigman, for which Eisenga wrote the music. Two more premieres followed 2009 : Delta Dance for the Clazz Ensemble and Kick out the Muse for choir and orchestra.
Like many composers of his generation, the music of Eisenga is rooted in pop music. He does not make any distinction between musical tearjerkers, twelve-tone techniques, baroque music or eastern-orientated cyclical structures. All these elements are used together in compositions that are both accessible and refreshing. | [

Finding Wonder & Creating Meaningful Scares: Interview With Genre Filmmaker Tricia Lee
Tricia Lee is a Canadian genre filmmaker that has made an impressive imprint on horror fans and industry insiders alike. Her award-winning resume that spans the globe has recently made waves with her latest, Blood Hunters, "about a single mother who wakes up in a medical facility to find that everyone is dead and she's nine months pregnant" with some pretty grisly creatures lurking about. During her busy Blood Hunters press push at FrightFest this past September, Tricia was gracious enough to chat with us about her deep appreciation for Neil Marshall, squishy effects, and creating compelling women characters.
Did you watch a lot of films growing up? If so, what were some of the ones you would credit as inspiration for what we see in the films you make?
I loved watching movies when I was a kid. I remember watching a lot of Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola movies when I was in high school and I had a mild obsession with the mafia and mafia movies at the time. But the largest influence on the features I’ve made so far is Neil Marshall. I went to school for a year in New Castle Upon Tyne in England and I worked at the movie theatre where Dog Soldiers premiered. I didn’t know who he was at the time, or how much his work would inspire my own career, but I remember the director was at the big premiere at my theatre. I watched Dog Soldiers over 10 times because I had to monitor the theatres as part of my job. I studied that movie inside and out.
How has making genre films, especially as someone who was once "terrified" of watching them enhanced your experience making them? What kinds of doors has it opened to your cinematic eye creatively?
Yes, I admit I was (and still am) terrified of some really scary films. I still don’t think I’ve recovered from watching Carrie and The Exorcist before the age of 12. What I find interesting about making a genre film and being behind the scenes, is that, as a director, it is my job to make things scary or gory, all those things that make me squirm as an audience member. So when we have a particularly gross shot, I actually love watching it! The crew cheers when we capture something that is particularly squishy. It’s such the opposite reaction when watching vs. creating.
Cinematically, I want to create the experience that I am terrified of as an audience member. If I can get the audience to invest and buy into the characters, to care about them, then I find that the scares, jumps and gore work even better. The audience is involved and suspends their belief to enjoy the created moment.
Exploring the transition between childhood and adulthood is a common theme in your films. Does Blood Hunters explore this in some capacity?
Wow, you have really done your research! It is so fantastic to be asked questions that I don’t normally get to talk about. You’ve actually brought up something I haven’t thought about in a while. Yes, with every single one of my short films, I have tried to find the answer to what it is we have lost between the innocence of childhood and the awareness of adulthood. The last short film I ever made was called “Searching For Wonder” and that was my answer. What we lose is wonder.
The characters in Blood Hunters are innocent in a way. They wake up with no information and have to discover what nightmare they have woken up in. Our main character is a single mother whose only goal is to protect her son in the outside world. She believes her son is innocent and doesn’t know about her drug addiction. And she is very concerned with keeping his wonder alive, but hiding her secret and doing what she can to get back to him.
So, while I don’t think it was a conscious theme in Blood Hunters, I know this thesis is a deep part of me, and creatively it always informs my work.
I spot some gnarly creatures in Blood Hunters. It's interesting because I've recently heard talk amongst horror fans about wanting more monster movies back into horror's current fold. Do you feel similarly in relation to "what's popular" now in the genre? Without spoiling the film of course, how did the idea of including them come up while developing the story?
I don’t really listen to the “what’s popular” conversation when it comes to developing scripts. I work closely with my writer Corey Brown and we create stories we want to tell. The thing is, if we hear that something is popular now, and we start writing it now, by the time we make the film 3 years from now, the landscape will be so different.
Corey pitched the idea for this film | [

Gateway Pundit – Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) spoke with reporters on Monday evening after the House Intelligence Committee met to vote on the release of the secret FISA Memo.
Schiff said his motions to delay the release of the explosive memo were voted down.
He also said the committee voted to release the Republican FISA memo to the public.
The Democrat memo WILL NOT be released at the same time as the GOP memo, and Schiff also said the FBI and DOJ are under investigation.

Choosing a backyard duck breed
People are often captivated by wild ducks as the birds coast and play on a local lake or pond. Adding a few ducks to your backyard poultry flock can provide the same unique entertainment in your very own backyard. Ducks make excellent pets and are also often raised for eggs or meat. However, some duck breeds are more high maintenance than others. Learning which duck breeds are best for beginners can make the start-up process easier and more enjoyable.
The best backyard duck breeds are those that do well in smaller spaces, are friendly and docile, and match your utilitarian purposes where applicable. For example, Khaki Campbell ducks are great for eggs but would make terrible meat birds.
The best duck breed for duck eggs are typically smaller, leaner birds. The right breed will convert feed energy into egg production instead of gaining weight. Many of the best duck breeds for eggs have also had the broody trait bred out of them, meaning they are less inclined to stop laying in order to incubate their eggs. Examples include the Khaki Campbell duck and the Runner duck breed. Both lay eggs at a rate that challenges the laying rate of chickens!
The best duck breed for hobbyists raising ducks for meat are breeds that efficiently convert feed energy into rapid weight gains. The sooner a meat bird is ready for slaughter, the more economical it is for the farmer. These ducks also have the body frame to support a larger size. Two duck breeds that make excellent meat birds are the Rouens and the Pekins. In fact, the Pekin duck is typically the breed found on commercial duck farms.
Choosing the perfect duck breed can have an impact on your hobby. However, ducks of any breed can be enjoyed just for fun. They will quickly bond with you, and you may find them waddling after you as you stroll around your backyard.

How much does a MiG-23 cost?
The asking price is $1.4 million. The MiG-23 was called the Flogger by NATO and recorded some significant developments in Soviet military aircraft development. It had the first look-down, shoot-down radar and was the first to launch missiles at targets beyond line of sight.
What generation is MiG-23?
third-generation jet fighter
It is a third-generation jet fighter, the world’s most-produced variable-geometry aircraft, along with similar Soviet aircraft such as the Su-17 “Fitter”. It was the first Soviet fighter to field a look-down/shoot-down radar, the RP-23 Sapfir, and one of the first to be armed with beyond-visual-range missiles.
What replaced MiG 21?
It was replaced by the newer variable-geometry MiG-23 and MiG-27 for ground support duties. However, not until the MiG-29 would the Soviet Union ultimately replace the MiG-21 as a maneuvering dogfighter to counter new American air superiority types. The MiG-21 was exported widely and remains in use.
How many f4 Phantoms were built?
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed by McDonnell Aircraft for the United States Navy….McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II.
|F-4 Phantom II|
|Variants||McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1/FGR.2|
How many U.S. planes were shot down by MiGs in Vietnam?
Even so, the small, quick-turning MiGs proved to be formidable opponents. American airmen shot down 196 MiGs—137 by the Air Force, 59 by the Navy and the Marine Corps—and sustained 83 losses.
When did the Mikoyan MiG 23 start production?
Production started in 1969 and reached large numbers with over 5,000 aircraft built, making it the most produced variable-sweep wing aircraft in history. Today the MiG-23 remains in limited service with some export customers. The basic design was also used as the basis for the Mikoyan MiG-27, a dedicated ground-attack variant.
What kind of missiles did the MiG 23 carry?
Starting in 1981, the MiG-23MLA could carry the improved Vympel R-24R/T missiles. The final fighter variant, the MiG-23MLD, could also carry the improved R-24R/T missiles in addition to a pair of B8M1 20-round rocket pods firing S-8 rockets, the Kh-23 /KH-23M air-to-surface missile, or a single RN-24 or RN-40 nuclear bomb.
Why was the MiG-23 called the looping hog?
In general the MiG-23 was unpopular with the American pilots because it was so dangerous to fly. Among the nicknames the Constant Peg pilots had for the MiG-23 was the “Looping Hog” because it flew like a pig and one of the few basic fighter maneuvers (BFM) it could pull off in a dogfight was a massive loop.
Is there a MiG-23 in the Libyan Air Force?
On 28 February 2016, a MiG-23MLA serial 6453 was restored to flying status after several years, becoming the only MiG-23 in service with the Libyan Air Force as of March 2016, performing missions against enemy positions and vehicles since March 2016. | [

SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Here we go again! With the repositioning of the high pressure now over south central Florida look for very light winds out of the south and then turn more southwest later in the day.
This kind of pattern will favor the big storms inland and a few coastal showers or an isolated thunderstorm near the coast during the morning through early afternoon.
This wind shift also means higher humidity and that will put the heat on the Suncoast. Look for a heat index beginning at Noon from 100 and getting close to 105 by mid afternoon.
We will see partly cloudy skies through the day with a high of 91. The rain chance near the coast 20% and inland areas 40%.
Wednesday pretty much just like Tuesday with a good chance for mainly inland storms.
On Thursday some drier air slips into the mid to upper levels which will bring the rain chance down to 30% for mainly inland storms.
Highs will be close to average 91 and lows will be running a couple of degrees above average due to the onshore flow. Look for mostly sunny skies through much of the morning with the exception of an isolated shower or two.
In the tropics we continue to watch invest 92L. This has a 70% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 2 days and 80% chance over the next 5 days.
Interesting to note that those numbers have actually come down from 80 to 90% just a day ago. This means the system is not organizing or consolidating around surface low pressure at this time. This is a good thing because it will take longer to get stronger as it gets closer to the Lesser Antilles.
The Euro forecast model is showing it developing into a tropical storm and then moving mainly WNW staying in the Caribbean. While the GFS run takes it toward the central Bahamas and then takes it north running parallel to Florida’s east coast.
Either way it is still some 2000 miles SE of the Suncoast and many things can happen between now and Sunday. My feeling is that since there is still a lot of SAL or Saharan dust around it and shouldn’t get too big. On top of that there looks to be marginal shear all around it as the system moves closer to the Islands in the E. Caribbean. This too would limit the intensity of the storm.
If it were to have an impact on our weather it wouldn’t be until late Saturday or early Sunday. | [

In the past 42 years we've put over 2,000 species of animals and plants on the ESA ark; only 30 have succumbed to extinction. However, some experts protest defining ESA success in terms of species still on the list rather than by the number of species that have recovered.
Citrus County, just north of St. Petersburg, has more than 70 natural springs which shoot a constant flow of 72-degree water. These mild conditions combined with the area's shallow water make this habitat the ideal winter haven for chilled manatees.
As I think of what we are doing to elephants, coral reefs, Bluefin tuna, the great apes and the great cats, today on this sad centennial I wonder whether humanity ever really learned the lesson of the passenger pigeon.
The Aspen Art Museum in Colorado is hosting a controversial exhibit from Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang featuring three African sulcata tortoises, each affixed with a pair of iPads stuck directly to their massive shells.
Our political leaders are drifting radically off course, abandoning values we've embraced for generations. Don't let the voices of the powerful few outweigh the interests of the majority of us who know the importance of conserving biological diversity in our country. | [

Oil industry skills shortage study backed by energy minister
Fergus Ewing said the research would be used to support future growth in the sector.
A major new study into skills gaps in the North Sea oil and gas industry will begin in November.
Researchers aim to examine how many people and what skills are needed to address shortages in the sector, both now and in the future.
Leading figures from more than 1000 operators, contractors and organisations in the industry are to be asked for detailed information on their workforce for the study, which is being led and managed by the oil and gas skills organisation OPITO.
Energy minister Fergus Ewing said the research should provide "a wealth of information on the skills requirements of the oil and gas industry".
The North Sea oil and gas sector is estimated to support 450,000 jobs across the UK, with about half of these in Scotland, he said.
Mr Ewing added he was "delighted that industry and stakeholders are working together to ensure that the skills issue within the industry does not impact future growth".
UK business and energy minister Michael Fallon warned the skills shortage in the sector was a "major threat".
He said: "The UK is a hub for oil and gas expertise, driven by the ingenuity and skills of its workforce. However, we can't be complacent.
"The shortage of skills in the sector is major threat to its overall competitiveness and one of the biggest challenges that the industry faces today.
"Further understanding of the skills base is an important element of the ongoing work of our joint oil and gas industrial strategy to create high-quality jobs and encourage new investment for growth."
John McDonald, managing director of OPITO UK, said: "Skill shortages have been identified as one of the biggest challenges facing the industry and while we have seen a number of reports authored over the last two or three years, variations in the findings in this field have caused confusion for industry and training providers.
"This survey will provide the definitive source of industry recognised information on the size and demographics of the labour market from across the sector and partner organisations to ensure better understanding of the workforce profile." | [

Today I went out hiking for the first time since I had the bike accident. What a beautiful afternoon. Cherokee Park in Madison.
Another photo from Big Bay State Park.
The hiking trails along the southeastern edge of Big Bay State Park (where I camped on Madeline Island) provide excellent views of the granite rocks that line the shore of Lake Superior there.

From a Sunday hike through the U.W. Arboretum.
With temperatures dropping down to -26(f) the past few days, I’ve been easing my cabin fever by looking at photos I took when the weather was just a bit warmer. I captured this scene while hiking in Northern Wisconsin last September.
Late afternoon hike at Cherokee Marsh
While hiking at Cherokee Marsh today, I came upon this deer with an eight-point set of antlers. Closest I’ve ever been to a buck like that. | [

So now we'll work on problem 66 from Chapter four. This problem were asked about how many protons and electrons would be in an Adam of Element 44. So Element 44 means that the atomic number is equal to 40 44. We know that atomic number is equal to the number of protons, and in a neutral atoms that's also equal to the number of electrons. So the answer before protons and electrons must be the atomic number, which we're told is 44. | [

Although not curly, wavy hair is definitely not straight, either. One of the major challenges that having wavy hair can present is frizz. An easy way to combat frizz is by styling your hair with gel. Frizz makes the hair look dry, dull, and can also cause hair to look un-styled. Even when going for the effortless look, it is important for hair to look great; we all know that looking effortless is rarely achieved without effort. Here’s a quick and simple way of letting your natural waves shine through with a hair gel.
- Starting with hair that is freshly washed and conditioned, remove excess water from your hair with a towel (pat your hair but do not rub — you are trying to prevent frizz, not create it”>. Alternatively, you may use an old t-shirt instead of a towel.
- Brush through your hair using a detangling brush, or a wide-toothed comb, to get rid of any tangles or knots. Be gentle on your roots!
- Take a generous amount of hair gel and rake through your waves. Focus on the length of the strands.
- Lower your head, flip your hair forward, and apply a generous amount of hair gel at the back of your head. Flipping hair forward will also create volume and movement once your hair has dried.
- Once the strands are coated with gel, scrunch your hair to encourage natural wave definition (and to squeeze excess water out”>.
- Use your towel or t-shirt and continue scrunching the hair.
- Continue scrunching the hair at five to ten minute intervals, until all of the hair has dried completely.
Use the right tools and products
Finding the right tools and products for your hair is critical to getting the final results you want. If you have thin, fine strands then Biotera Styling Gel is great for increasing volume.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Clearly Defined Gel with UV filter is also a great option for those who spend a lot of time outdoors, or those with color treated hair who want to ensure their hair remains shiny, healthy and vibrant.
For best results while scrunching, and to minimize frizz, try the Hair RePear The Ultimate T-Shirt Hair Towel.
Whether you’re drying, scrunching or plopping this t-shirt towel will give you great results every time.
If you’re still searching for the perfect detangling comb, the Cricket Ultraclean Big Time Comb may be the one you’ve been waiting for. It features antimicrobial technology that prevents bacteria from growing on it, and is also designed to be slip resistant, which means no falling from your conditioner covered, slippery hands.
Try this routine for gorgeous, frizz-free waves, and then post your picture on Style Nook for the NaturallyCurly community to see!

Robert Joyce monitors the time, knowing every passing minute can lead to a death.
In recent years, Geisinger Community Medical Center has coordinated services with paramedics to reduce the time between when heart attack patients enter the hospital and a provider opens the blocked coronary artery.
The hospital's average time from patient arrival to opening a blocked artery is much faster than the national average of 90 minutes, said Mr. Joyce, cardiovascular administrator of the Heart and Vascular Institute at GCMC.
The institute is now an accredited Chest Pain Center with the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care, becoming one of 30 Pennsylvania hospitals to receive the distinction, according to a news release.
The accreditation means the institute meets quality-of-care measures, from the onset of patients' heart attack symptoms to the time they are discharged.
Surveyors analyzed the coordination between local emergency responders, as well as the hospital's emergency department, cardiac catheterization lab and cardiac rehab.
"The faster you treat a heart attack, the better the outcome," said GCMC Chief Medical Officer Anthony Aquilina, D.O.

Casual observers of the agricultural sector tend to peddle rather crude approaches to the problem of boosting the effectiveness of nitrogen as a fertilizer when, in reality, the industry must start tackling the true complexity of agricultural systems with a more holistic approach.
It is only a slight exaggeration to say that nitrogen is the only reason half of us are here. Without it, we would not be able to support the global food supply, even if we were to convert all global land reserves to crop-rearing overnight. And somehow, we still have to find half of the amount of food again by 2050 to feed nearly 10 billion people.
So it rests upon the shoulders of researchers like me to squeeze more out of each drop of nitrogen - the cornerstone of global food security. There is, it should be said, ample opportunity to do so, seeing as current processes derive benefit from only half the nitrogen that is currently applied to our soils. The rest is released into the air, leaches into the water, and spills into natural land - areas where crops struggle to take it up.
Not only do crops miss out, but that waste often has negative ecological consequences, such as the excessive build-up of nutrients in land where water naturally collects, or the loss of biodiversity.
Fertilizer companies should, therefore, consider how best to address these consequences. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach – there are numerous factors to consider in developing more sophisticated products that help increase the agricultural efficacy of nitrogen. Such a holistic approach is key if we are to move forward as an industry.
The first rule is to respect existing plant nutrition research. Liebig’s law suggests that simply spreading big volumes of nutrients on crops has a far less helpful effect than getting the nutrient balance right. As plants demand a particular group of essential nutrients, the abundance of all others does not compensate if one is scarcely present.
Secondly, the degree of nutrient uptake in crops can be significantly boosted if applied in the form that is best suited to that particular plant.
In drip fertigation systems, a third weapon in the fight to boost the take-up of nitrogen is to develop and roll out a line of water soluble fertilizers, which carry the nutrients directly to the plants’ roots.
To keep fertilizer-derived nitrogen in the root zone, companies should look to wield direct control over its metabolism in the soil through the addition of urease inhibitors, which minimise ammonia emissions. The ability to control the breakdown of nitrogen can also be achieved through a new generation of nitrification inhibitors, which reduce nitrate leaching significantly and can eliminate entirely fertilizer-derived greenhouse gases. The benefit of this technology can even extend to organic fertilizers, via the treatment of manure with nitrification inhibitors. Currently, half of all nitrogen fertilizer is applied through organic sources such as manure, which is notoriously inefficient when it comes to maximising nutrient uptake.
Finally, biostimulants are the answer to tackling the negative effects of so-called abiotic stress factors, such as heat, cold, drought, food, and salinity. Biostimulants are various compounds, substances, and micro-organisms applied to plants or soils to improve crop yields.
Seen globally, it is a range of technologies and processes that is required to propel nitrogen fertilization forward, reducing waste and the negative side-effects by keeping nutrients in their target region – the root zone.
But even more broadly, it is a holistic mindset that we must adopt as an industry. Training distributors and farmers so that they are able to adopt this group of solutions, and stressing the importance of doing so through trade media and beyond is vital. By doing so, we will be well on our way to meeting the demands of future generations for both a secure food supply and greater consideration for the environment. | [

Is something that my roommate has said to me a lot.
I disagree. Not only do I disagree, but I'm living proof that she's wrong. My binging and purging has gone WAY down since going vegan. I feel more comfortable with the food that I'm eating. Overall, I'm eating more, and purging less.
Today in therapy my new therapist and I talked about all the reasons that her comments upset me. Turns out I have cycles of thoughts and emotions that rush into my brain from her comments - and I didn't even know that it was going on! I thought it just angered me, but turns out that under that anger was fear, shame and guilt.
When she says things like this I tend to agree with her and play along. This makes me feel as though I'm betraying all my vegan friends as well as my beliefs. This leads to guilt. Then I get upset that I'm not living in accordance to my values, which leads to shame.
The fear comes from me being worried that she's right. She's farther along in her recovery so she would know more right? Wrong. She knows what worked for her recovery, not for mine. This works for me and I need to remember that.
In other news, I lost my job at the gym but got a different job supporting local farmers - the pay and the hours are better, so I'm glad things worked out this way. | [

Cowboy Bebop - The Movie User ReviewsMovie
Interesting story, good action, unique cast of characters, and nice music.The bad:
Not a lot bad here, but it's not the greatest either.Summary:
Cowboy Bebop is a very popular anime series from Japan, and is definately one that I have enjoyed watching over the years. So when I first heard a movie was coming out I was highly interested and wasn't really disappointed.
The movie itself takes place almost like a regular episode, nothing too big but definately interesting. There is a terrorist attempting to end all life with a newly developed virus that he himself is immune to. A bounty is placed on his head and that's where our hero is not so much a hero but a bounty hunter named Spike comes in. Him and his gang of bounty hunters go on o...
The animation is really good.
The voices are great.
The character designs are great.
It has to end.Summary:
Cowboy Bebop - The Movie is pretty much another episode of Cowboy Bebop just a little bit longer. It is set before the end of the series as Edward is in it. The animation is done really good and looks really neat. The music is great just like the series and the voices fit right in, Japanese and English. The storyline is really good and just seems like another episode.
Overall i'd give this 97% and it will be even better if you have seen the series.
-The name change from "Knocking on Heaven`s Door" to
"Cowboy Bebop: The Movie"
-All the Product Placement in it, thinks like Coca-Cola, Lucky Strike, Cup Noodles
At first, when the movie began.
I relized how much I missed Cowboy Bebop
The movie begins with a robbary at a convenice store.
Even then the movie is so stylish,
The deatails in the background, make you appriciate how hard they must have worked on it.
So let`s fastfoward a few in to the movie,
The movie is funny, but in the way of what
happends, not in the way of a joke.
I really like this movie except for all the Product Placement in it, thinks like Coca-Cola, Lucky Strike, Cup Noodles
Around the middle, they sorta drag it out a bit
I would complain, but it`s freakin` Cowboy Bebop.
But then the actio...
Great story/animationThe bad:
Not enough musicSummary:
It's important to note first up that Cowboys are nowhere to be found in this film. Bounty hunters are the theme of the day in this futuristic world, as the main characters travel the galaxy tracking down paydays and putting away the bad guys.
The animation visually is superb, a nice mix of cel animation & CG (computer generated) imagery, and the characters' personas are translated perfectly from the anime series, and some of the action sequences are among the best I've seen in anime yet. The only complaint I have about this is the music-while Yoko Kanno's soundtrack is very well done as alwa...
-Great animations and graphics
-All the voice actors from the show
-New soundtrack by Yoko Kanno
-Can drag at timesSummary:
I absolutely loved this movie! If your a fan of Cowboy Bebop, this is the one for you. It takes place in between episodes 22 and 23, so that's why the whole cast is there. There's a terrorist on the loose with a dangerous new virus, it's clear, easy to manufacture, and can kill hundreds in a few minutes. Spike and the gang must destroy the virus before it is used on everyone inhabiting Mars. An absolute must see for Anime and Action fans alike. | [

But O'Connell only needs one thing in life: his wife. In her final year of college, Em cannot follow him around the world but together they make it work. Just when everything they ever wanted is on the horizon, the past resurfaces to haunt them, and O'Connell realizes that justice might not be a part of his happy ever after.

The second book in a New Adult fiction series from USA Today bestselling author R.J. Prescott.
(The Hurricane, #1)
Emily McCarthy is living in fear of a dark and dangerous past. A gifted mathematician, she is little more than a hollow, broken shell, trying desperately to make ends meet long enough to finish her degree.
Through an unlikely friendship with the aging, cantankerous owner of an old boxing gym, Em is thrown into the path of the most dangerous man that she has ever met.
Cormac “the Hurricane” O’Connell is cut, tattooed and dangerous. He is a lethal weapon with no safety and everyone is waiting for the misfire. He’s never been knocked out before, but when he meet Em he falls, HARD. Unlike any other girl he’s ever met, she doesn’t want anything from him. Just being around her makes him want to be a better person.
They are polar opposites who were never meant to find each other, but some things are just worth the fight.

Marco Polo - a mission to return a sample from a Near-Earth Object - science requirements and operational scenarios.
In: 27th International Symposium on Space Technology and Science, 5-12 Jul 2009, Tsukuba, Japan.
Full text available as:
Marco Polo is a mission to return a sample from a Near-Earth Object of primitive type (class C or D). It is foreseen as a collaborative effort between the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) and the European Space Agency (ESA). Marco Polo is currently in a Phase-A study. This paper focuses on the scientific requirements provided to the industrial study consortia in Europe as well as the possible mission scenario at the target object in order to achieve the overall mission science objectives.
The main scientific reasons for going to a Near-Earth Object are to understand the initial conditions and evolution history of the solar nebula, to understand how major events (e.g. agglomeration, heating) influence the history of planetesimals, whether primitive class objects contain presolar material, what the organics were in primitive materials, how organics could shed light on the origin of molecules necessary for life, and what the role of impacts by NEOs would be in the origin and evolution of life on Earth.

18 killed in blast at funeral in Jalalabad
(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) JALALABAD: A suicide blast at a funeral in Jalalabad city of Afghanistan on Sunday killed at least 18 people and wounded 13.
Initial media reports, quoting spokesperson of Jalabad governor Attaullah Khogyani, said the attacker had blown himself up as people gathered for the funeral of a former district governor at a cemetery in the city.
The attack comes days after at least 41 people were killed and more than 80 wounded in a suicide attack on a Shi'ite cultural center in Kabul on Thursday. Islamic State claimed responsibility for that attack, one of the worst in the Afghan capital in months.

Two hundred tornadoes in two weeks? What next, will we have to have to protect ourselves from frogs falling from the sky?
It has always been a challenge to stay flexible to what Mother Nature throws: a deeper, longer, windier winter without enough snow, for example. Or a winter that starts and stops, with freezes and thaws changing places like partners at a high school prom.
Farmers have been a resilient lot since agriculture began in earnest, more than 10,000 years ago. And though not a new invention, cover crops are another indication that adapting to new challenges is part of the landscape.
Consider how cover cropping, combined with no-till, gives you the edge with a tempestuous season. With annual ryegrass on your fields in the spring, excess amounts of water keep the soil in place. Because the soil is more permeable, water can penetrate more quickly instead of running off and causing erosion.Annual ryegrass grows well in wet conditions, too, so a soggy spring may delay corn planting for a bit but the cover crop will protect what’s there.
Cover crops like annual ryegrass also increase greatly the potential for corn to grow deeper into the soil. Annual ryegrass busts up compaction, down to six feet! That means in dry years, corn can send roots deeper for moisture and important nutrients, like P and K, withstanding drought conditions for much longer. Because annual ryegrass sequesters available N, you don’t have to side dress as much as you did in the old days.
Then, because cover crops improve organic matter and carbon in the soil, there is a healthier microorganism population, the soil is more crumbly and rich with life. The crops are healthier, and the harvest is more robust.
So, yes, we can still bemoan Mother Nature for throwing us curve after curve. We can complain that the co-op prices are too high, commodity prices too low, and the bank is tightening the screws. But with tenacity, and a friend like annual ryegrass, you may again be able to say you rode it out, weathered the storm, and came out on the right side of the ledger. | [

What to do before carrying out a statistical test:
1: determine the level of measurement... NOI
2: determine if the hypothesis is one tailed or two.
3: determine if this hypothesis is... a test of difference / a relationship / a correlation
4: choose a level of significance, for As ---> p < 0.05 or p < 0.01, so 1 in 20 and 1 in 100.
5: write out a null hypothesis.
6: carry out the appropriate test
7: find and use the relevant statistical table
8: check the results achieved, N or Df against the critical value.

Seeking genetic explanation: METHODOLOGY PG1
Psychologists look for genetic explanations for who we are, to try and support ideas that our behaviour
is biologically determined.
Studies on identical twins and adopted children can then be used to support or contradict this idea.
Use to see if behaviour is shared by those who are genetically identical.
What they use concordance rates, to test if traits adopted by one twin leads to the other twin gaining the same trait, e.g. schizophrenia.
Making comparisons between MZ (monozygotic twins) and DZ (dizygotic twins) by comparing concordance rates, As MZ twins share more
genes (100%) compared to DZ ( 50%). If concordance rates are higher for MZ, then genes play a strong role in behaviour.
However twins share same environment, so psychologist get MZ twins who separated at birth, helps distinguish between nature vs. nurture.
1: MZ twins separated at birth, you are able to find that similarities between twins are due to genes, they share 100% genes with each other.
1: MZ twins may be treated more alike as they look identical and are of same sex. So environments aren't as controlled as they could be.
Adopted children share no genes in common with their adoptive parents, they only share the same environment.
Use to separate genetic and environmental influence on behaviour.
How looking for similarities in behaviour between children and biological parents or children and adopted parents
Examples if child is similar to biological parents but not adoptive, then it supports ideas that genes affect behaviour.
So if child has high IQ and so do biological parents then it was the biological parents genes which determined the child's IQ
1: gives a clear view of genetic and nature effects as the genes of parents are separate from environment, similarities with bio parents = genetic
2: development trends can be studies as it can be longitudinal, so trends can be found and linked to either genes or environment.
1: MZ twins separated at birth, often share same experience growing up, agencies place them in similar home environments. So similarities
could be due to upbringing, not just genes.
2: However, twins separated at birth still share 9 months inside womb, could account for behaviour similarities.
3: lacks generalizability, number of MZ twins studies is minimal, sample sizes are small.…read more
Brain scanning techniques:
Is a way that psychologists can study behaviour and the biological influences on it.
MRI ( Magnetic resonance imaging) scans:
MRI scan allows a picture of the brain to be seen, as well as the structure and whether there is damage or a cancerous tumour growing
Procedure patient is placed in a large scanner, passes very strong magnetic field through head.
How it works the nuclei of some atoms spin a particular way when placed in a magnet, this allows a detailed image of brain to be produced
Role of hydrogen the nuclei in hydrogen molecules emit their own radio waves at a frequency that the scanner picks up.
Use of hydrogen the varying hydrogen levels in the brain allow for a very detailed image of the brain to be seen.
PET (Position emission tomography) Scans:
A way of seeing the working brain, identify damage or tumours.
Procedure patients injected with glucose, or water labelled with radioactive tracer, while inside scanner.
How it works when the substance reaches the brain, the brain cells take it up and the tracer begins to decay.
Positrons when tracers decay they emit positrons, which annihilate with electrons in brain producing gamma rays which are detected outside
body. Creating the image.

There is something unique in all our tiles, all are developed and curated by hand in Spain from a mixture of sand, cement and natural pigments. Crushed marble is added to enhance durability and to give that distinctive raw finish. The mix is bespoke for each run of tiles creating that unique finish every time.
The natural pigments are derived from the ground, it is mineral based and organic unlike manufactured colours. This gives it that unique chalky finish, the tint of the colour is softer than anything manufactured. The fine lose powder has a semi transparent nature and matt finish. This washed out look is in the DNA of Bert & May and flows throughout the whole Bert & May aesthetic. The natural pigments flow through into the concrete basins, the fabric and the paints.. | [

Wirbeiwind: what was the Wehrmacht ZSU, built on the basis of Panzerkampfwagen IV
In 1944, Nazi Germany began developing a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun with a turret that could rotate 360 degrees. At the same time, the vehicle was supposed to protect the crew with its armor.
The requirements for the new ZSU were formulated by Wehrmacht Colonel General Heinz Guderian. The main ones were: low height, an open tower at the top where three soldiers could fit, and high density of fire.
For the production of the above-mentioned SPAAGs, it was decided to use medium-sized ones coming from repairs. Tanks Panzerkampfwagen IV. At the same time, the car itself did not undergo any special modifications. To exaggerate it, the old tower was removed from it and a new one was installed.
In total, 1945 of these “anti-aircraft tanks” were assembled by January 105. The ZSU was named Wirbeiwind (“Whirlwind”).
Regarding the characteristics of the machine. As already mentioned, it was based on the Panzerkampfwagen IV tank. In turn, a nine-sided turret with armor plates 16 mm thick was installed on it.
As prescribed, there were three people in the turret - a gunner in the rear and two loaders on the sides. The weapon used was the FlaK-Vierling 38, a 20mm quad automatic cannon.
This weapon could reach Aviation at an altitude of up to 3,5 km. Moreover, its rate of fire was 600-700 rounds per minute.
Ammunition was supplied by 20-round magazines. The total ammunition load is 3200 shells. Two types of ammunition were used: fragmentation and armor-piercing.

In celebration of National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) 2024, we would like to introduce one of our HGV Technician apprentices, Tyler Langwith.
Engines run in the family!
Tyler joined CTS Hire, in August 2023 to embark on an HGV Technician Apprenticeship at our depot in Brackley, Midlands. His father, uncle and brother are all mechanics, so a passion for engines runs in the family.
Tyler: “I have always been interested in repairing things. My Dad and Uncle were always tinkering with cars so I’ve been around vehicles for as long as I can remember.”
Why did you choose the apprenticeship route?
Tyler: “I prefer to be learning whilst I’m actually doing the job and the apprenticeship route offers me the opportunity to combine studies at college with practical experience.”
At CTS, Tyler has been given the opportunity to train on specialist vehicles including all makes and models of refuse and recycling vehicles ranging from 7.5t to 26t, plus caged tippers, hook loaders, ROROs, tractor units and skip vehicles.
Tyler is on block release and spends two weeks at a time at college in Bristol. There’s a lot of coordination with CTS Hire, and Tyler keeps a record of the jobs he does as evidence to support the work he’s doing the classroom.
“I really enjoy the working environment at CTS. They’re a friendly team and they give me lots of opportunities to learn new skills and improve.
“I’m not just assessed on the work I carry out but also my ability to spot and solve problems. It’s about demonstrating that I understand how everything works, not just if I can fix something.”
Tyler’s mentor at CTS Hire is Kevin Franklin, Workshop Technician, who is responsible for guiding and supporting him on a daily basis.
Kevin: “Tyler is doing great. He is easy to work with and asks questions if he’s not sure on something. He listens well to instructions, doesn’t rush, and has a very good work ethic. We are all very impressed with his progress.”
Tyler finishes his apprenticeship in the summer of 2026. What next?
“I’d like to continue working at CTS, developing my knowledge and skills, and perhaps do my HGV licence. Way into the future I’d maybe like to run my own garage with my brother.”
Outside of work and college Tyler is a big football fan (he played at Academy level whilst at school) and a Manchester United supporter. He is currently learning to drive, and his dream car is a Porsche GT3RS.
Good luck for the future Tyler! | [

Yeah. The Cagiva font looked pretty good on Ducatis.

Hays City Commissioner Chris Dinkel on Thursday announced his resignation from the board, effective June 20. Dinkel -- who was elected in November -- has been accepted to Columbia Law School in New York City and will begin classes in the fall.
Commissioners have decided not to post a formal application process, but residents interested in applying for the vacancy are encouraged to contact commissioners. Their contact information can be found at haysusa.com under the “contact us” tab.
“Serving alongside you and the rest of the commission has been an honor and a delight, and I am grateful to the people of Hays for giving me the opportunity to serve in this capacity,” Dinkel stated. “I feel that the work we have done, even in my short time on the commission, has positioned Hays for growth and a bright future, and I look forward to the day when I can come home to attend weddings at the convention center, drive circles around the North Vine roundabouts and go shopping at 27th and Commerce Parkway.”
Dinkel said he timed his resignation with the hope of allowing his replacement enough time to become familiar with the city’s budget process before the 2019 budget is voted on in August.
“As to the timing of my resignation, I have chosen to vacate my seat early to allow the commission to select my replacement before this year’s budget process begins rather than as it ends,” he said, noting he and his family will have to move before that process is complete.
Dinkel will continue to be a voting member of the commission at next week’s regular meeting. Those interested in serving on the city commission must contact at least one commissioner by June 20 ahead of that week’s work session. An appointment is expected to be made at the following week’s regular meeting, June 28.
Commissioners thanked Dinkel for his time of service and encouraged residents to contact a commissioner promptly if they are interested in serving the city.
“I’m happy to talk to anybody. But I’m not going to ask anybody,” Mayor James Meier said. “If this is something you want to do, you need to express some interest in doing it. Don’t expect anybody to reach out to you.” | [

Three Waterford teachers will keep their jobs
Waterford — The three teachers who were notified earlier this year that they would not have jobs in the 2014-15 school year will be able to keep their positions.
Assistant Superintendent Craig Powers said Monday the district was able to place some of its more experienced staff in positions as literary and math coaches, opening up space to keep the three teachers, who the district was considering letting go.
The teachers who received reduction in force notices — second-grade teacher Kathleen Ward and third-grade teacher Adrienne Servideo at Oswegatchie Elementary School, and Michele Hynes, a kindergarten teacher at Quaker Hill Elementary — were slated to be eliminated due to decreased enrollment, Superintendent Jerome Belair said.
State law requires school districts to notify the staff by May 1 if their contracts may not be renewed.

Academic journal article The Arkansas Historical Quarterly
Remembrances in Black: Personal Perspectives of the African American Experience at the University of Arkansas
Remembrances in Black: Personal Perspectives of the African American Experience at the University of Arkansas. Edited by Charles F. Robinson and Lonnie R. Williams. (Fayetteville: University of Arkansas Press, 2010. Pp. xxx, 358. Acknowledgments, appendices, notes, bibliography, index. $45.00.)
Remembrances in Black is an extraordinary volume. Working from interviews and lengthy questionnaires, its editors, Charles Robinson and Lonnie Williams, have compiled dozens of narratives of the African- American experience at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. The narratives vary greatly in length, scope, and tone; they are clearly deeply personal and in some cases also clearly cathartic. The narratives are arranged chronologically from the earliest days of the school's desegregation to nearly the present and are divided into chapters that help the reader grasp the broad outlines of the institution's racial evolution. Importantly, the participants include faculty and even staff-usually the most overlooked people on any campus-as well as students. These stories provide both significant primary evidence of how events unfolded and stark reminders of the human cost of change.
Taken individually, these stories are deeply interesting and astonishingly varied. Each is well worth reading on its own. Taken together they provide a meaningful look at critical developments in the history of American higher education from a perspective that has rarely been taken into account. For understandable reasons, untangling the history of the desegregation of southern colleges and universities has so far focused largely on policy decisions that were forced on the politicians and boards who controlled these institutions. With regard to the process of desegregation, the University of Arkansas was in some respects unique. Understanding very early that the movement to end racial segregation in southern education would prove unstoppable, the leadership of the university and the state grudgingly allowed the admission of black students to the university's law and medical schools in 1948. This early date, though, should not be taken as evidence of an early desire for racial fairness.
The grudging and even angry nature of Arkansas's decision to desegregate is deeply felt in the stories of the earliest black students. The narratives in the first several chapters of this book are often anguished, even all these years later. … | [

BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) – Another month has passed us by, and it’s time to take a look back and see what happened with the weather and why this was a significant month! A lot happened in Southern West Virginia over the 31 days of July, we nearly the topped the charts in a few categories, and for some we fell just short. Let’s get into the details in this month’s review!
**ALL THE DATA LISTED HERE IS FOR BECKLEY, WV UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED**
We’ll start this one off with the big story of the month, our temperatures. It was hot this July. Things got so hot, we almost set a record for the hottest July ever! We fell just short of the #1 spot, but we still took #2 for the top 10 hottest Julys ever in Beckley. This is the fourth time in less than a decade we’ve seen a top 10 hottest July in Beckley. Including 2011 at #3, 2012 at #6, and 2019 which is tied for #9.
During July 2020 we didn’t see a single day below average. We saw 2 days that had average temperatures, the other 29 days were above average.
Bluefield, WV was a completely different story on the other hand! In the end they saw a pretty healthy mixture of above, below and average days when it came to temperatures. The overall average temperature in Bluefield for July 2020 was 72.6° nearly half a degree below average. Talk about a tale of two cities.
Some notable temperatures we saw this month:
- July 19th and 21st: Highs of 90° were recorded in Beckley, WV (Highest temperatures of the month, and year so far)
- July 21st: A high of 87° was recorded in Bluefield, WV (Highest temperature seen all month)
- July 23rd and 31st: The only days not at 80° or above at Beckley, WV (23rd: 78°, 31st: 77°)
July was a dry month, at least until the last week and a half. In fact, up until July 22 it had only rained 0.32-inches! We ended up doubling our monthly precipitation on the 22nd, when 0.35-inches fell bringing us up to 0.67-inches and then we opened the flood gates. In the last 8 days of the month another 2.83-inches fell, but that wasn’t enough to undo the dry start to the month. Overall we fell a little more than an inch and half below normal for the month of July. Normally this is one of our wettest months!
Days with notable precipitation:
- July 28th: 1.13″ of rain fell in Beckley, WV (Highest one day total for July 2020)
- July 30th: 0.97″ of rain fell in Beckley, WV
- July 30th: 1.88″ of rain fell in Bluefield, WV (Nearly half of their total monthly rainfall [4.04″])
Now lets look at things a little differently. Our partners at Climate Central crunched the numbers. Summer is getting hotter in West Virginia. The fact we saw the second hottest July ever at Beckley wasn’t a fluke, it’s more of a worrying trend. Bluefield, WV, has seen average summertime temperatures rise 3.5° since 1970 a significant jump in only 40 years. Data specific to Beckley isn’t available at the moment, but Bluefield serves as an excellent example to how our climate is changing year by year.
This brings July’s “Month in Review” to a close, a big shout out to folks at NWS Charleston, NWS Blacksburg, and Climate Central who provided all of the data you see here. I’ll see you next month for August’s “Month in Review”! – StormTracker 59 Meteorologist Liam Healy

The tradition in taxonomy that nothing is ever really forgotten (for which there are very good reasons) means that, over the years, we have accumulated a certain amount of excess detritus. Whether referred to as nomina dubia, species inquirendae or just plain unidentifiable, there are a number of names for which the original description or material is not adequate to determine their identity with certainty. Most nomina dubia simply slumber undisturbed, not interfering with standard taxonomic practice; they simply serve to irritate those whose role it is to assemble comprehensive listings.
The red alga Rhodomela preissii was named by Sonder in 1848 for a specimen collected in Western Australia. He diagnosed it as "fronde tereti filiformi siccitate subplicata a basi dichotome ramosa, ramis inferioribus patentibus superioribus brevioribus erectiusculis, ramulis sparsis setaceis simplicibus furcatisve, capsulis subpedicellatis solitariis ramis superioribus adnatis", Latin descriptions being the fashion at the time*. The specimen appears to have never been figured.
*Some of you may be aware that the Botanical Congress recently voted to remove the requirement for Latin diagnoses or descriptions from the Botanical Code of Nomenclature**. Authors are still required to give a diagnosis for new taxa in either Latin or English, so Chinese still doesn't get a look-in.
**Though it was also decided that it would no longer be called the Botanical Code. It's now the "International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants". I suppose that we should be just grateful they didn't go with the even more explicit "International Code of Nomenclature for Plants, Fungi, Algae, Oomycetes, Labyrinthuleans, Plasmodiophoromycetes, Mycetozoans, Dinoflagellates, Euglenaceae and Cyanobacteria (and maybe Fossil Bacteria, on alternate Tuesdays)".
Womersley (2003) noted that the type specimen of Rhodomela preissii, held at the Melbourne herbarium, is small and inadequate for the species' identification. True Rhodomela is unknown from Australia, though other members of the Rhodomelaceae occur there. Womersley, however, suggested that R. preissii might be a specimen of Hypnea. If true, this would place 'R.' preissii some distance phylogenetically from Rhodomela, the latter belonging to the order Ceramiales while Hypnea is a member of the Gigartinales. As things stand, though, no-one seems to be faced with a great need to resolve the question.

Strategies and interventions have promoted the sustainability of urban communities, but effective communication of these solutions is lacking. Documentation of current solutions tends to be dense and difficult for non-academics to understand. Sustainability scientists and practitioners need ways to meaningfully and intelligibly communicate their experiences to the lay public. This project sought to visually present sustainable community development solutions to address this communication barrier. Members of urban/community gardens in Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona, and Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark, were photographed, interviewed. Their feedback was then examined to assess the degree to which photographs can tell a holistic sustainability story. The...

OLYMPIA — Former state Rep. Geoff Simpson resigned from the state Gambling Commission on Wednesday after hearing that some senators opposed his nomination because of an 2008 domestic-violence arrest.
Simpson, who served as a Democratic member of the state House between 2001 and 2010, had been appointed to the commission last August and started the job while awaiting Senate approval.
His resignation marks the first time an appointee of second-year Gov. Jay Inslee has left after getting opposition from the majority-Republican Senate. Inslee is a Democrat.
GOP senators, especially Janea Holmquist Newbry, said Tuesday they opposed the nomination due to the allegation that Simpson pushed his ex-wife while visiting their daughter at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
An assault charge ultimately was dismissed with prejudice.
“While I understand that Mr. Simpson contests some of the many allegations made against him, I have deep concerns about moving forward with his confirmation,” Holmquist Newbry said in a news release about her opposition. “It sends the wrong message for the Senate to simply green-light a gubernatorial nominee who has been charged with fourth-degree assault and has had multiple protection orders issued against him.”
Simpson initially fought back. In a Tuesday night letter to senators, he said, “The Legislature should err on the side of protecting potential victims. I think it’s very unfortunate however when people use dismissed allegations of the serious crime of domestic violence to help them carry out political undertakings. It is especially egregious when legislators, who swear to uphold the law engage in such behavior.”
But by Wednesday morning, Simpson had decided to resign.
Simpson informed the governor in a letter, according to Inslee spokesman David Postman. | [

Welcome to the October 2021 edition of the Queer Fiction Blog! This month we have fake boyfriends falling in love, lesbians falling in and out of love for political reasons, and a second chance romance for two previous best friends.
These books may be available in other formats or languages. Check our catalog for availability.
Title/Author: Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
Summary: Wanted: one (fake) boyfriend. Practically perfect in every way Luc O'Donnell is tangentially and reluctantly famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship... and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come.
Series/Standalone: Series (sequel comes out in 2022)
Book Format: eBook (also available as downloadable audiobook)
Length: 425 pages
LGBTQ+ Orientation: Gay
Content Warnings: Homophobia, disordered eating
Ratio of Sex/Plot: 97% plot; this book is very much "fade-to-black." While there are references to sex, we don’t get on-page sex scenes
Well-written/Editor Needed: Well-written
Would I Re-read?: Yes
Personal Thoughts: What a fun read! Hall’s characters are so intensely loveable and their banter is so charming that I was instantly hooked. We remain in main character Luc’s point of view the entire time, something you don’t see too often in romance (but something that I LOVE). We watch him grow as a character without feeling as if we’re being monologued at. Another friend of mine didn’t enjoy this book because she said it was “too much angst, not enough sex.” But I think that without the angst and subsequent character growth, this book would not have been as good as I believe it to be.
This book begins as a traditional fake dating narrative—there is a contrived reason that the main character must pretend to date someone and as they date, they start to develop real feelings. (There could be many, MANY other possible solutions to this problem including, in this book, Luc simply quitting his job or at the very least suing them for workplace discrimination.) It’s a trope as old as time and yet... there is nothing else quite like it. Hall’s take on the trope was well-done and realistic. The characters never fell by the wayside in pursuit of the love story and, in fact, the betterment of the characters was the real heart of this story. The way the characters communicated and fell in love felt realistic and I enjoyed the entire train wreck of them navigating their fake relationship turned real as both Luc and Oliver struggled with being vulnerable with each other.
Hall is releasing a sequel to this book (Husband Material, due out summer 2022) and while I’m sure I will deeply enjoy revisiting Luc and Oliver to see how their life together has progressed, I’m also very happy with where this book ended. I'm very sure that this couple stays together even after their story comes to an end, sequel or no sequel.
Title/Author: Fireheart Tiger by Aliette de Bodard
Summary: Quiet, thoughtful princess Thanh was sent away as a hostage to the powerful faraway country of Ephteria as a child. Now she’s returned to her mother’s imperial court, haunted not only by memories of her first romance, but also by the magical echoes of a fire that devastated Ephteria’s royal palace. Thanh’s new role as a diplomat places her once again in the path of her first love, the powerful and magnetic Eldris of Ephteria, who knows exactly what she wants: romance from Thanh and much more from Thanh’s home. But the fire that burned down one palace is tempting Thanh with the possibility of making her own dangerous decisions.
Book Format: Book (also available as an eBook)
Length: 103 pages
LGBTQ+ Orientation: Lesbian
Content Warnings: Some manipulation/abuse from a potential wife
Ratio of Sex/Plot: One off-page sex scene but mostly plot
Well-written/Editor Needed: Well-written
Would I Recommend?: Maybe
Personal Thoughts: This fantasy setting is reminiscent of Vietnam facing colonial encroachment, has an all-female cast (with the exception of one eunuch), and at least one fire elemental. I liked the premise, the fact that we dived into colonialism from the perspective of those once under colonial rule, and the smooth writing style of the author. However | [

Amongst hospitality, mesmerizing nature and one of a kind architecture, Georgia is well-known for its extraordinary cuisine. So many people come from different countries to get a taste of our traditional dishes. That’s why while travelling in Georgia you will encounter so many Georgian restaurants and hear all about the traditions. Although, almost every Georgian dish is a must, there are several that are worth mentioning in the top picks.
1. Khinkali – it is probably the most famous Georgian dish. This caucasian dumpling is one of the main reasons why Georgian cuisine is capturing the hearts of travellers from all around the world. Originally from mounty regions of Georgia, Khinkali can be stuffed either with meat, cheese, mushrooms or mashed potatoes. But if one wants to feel like a true Georgian, they should try khinkali with meat.
This mouth-watering dish is served in almost every Georgian restaurant. The perfect mixture of beef/pork and herbs produces the tastiest juice in a dough. If you have some time go to Mtiuleti to get an authentic local experience.
2. Khachapuri – Each and every region of Georgia is unique in its own way. Every part of this small country has so much to offer to travellers, who want to get to know it’s unique culture. In different regions, the same dish is cooked in different ways, which gives you a chance to experience it in many different ways.
Imerian Khachapuri is the most popular one in Georgia. Usually being referred to as “Georgian pizza”, khachapuri has the same form as a worldwide-known dish, but instead of different ingredients, it is stuffed only with cheese. It is best served right out of the oven when the cheese is melting and you get a true sense of what this dish is.
Megrelian khachapuri is extra cheesy. The dish is not only stuffed with it but also has the mixture of Georgian cheeses on top. You should definitely taste it if during your trip you and up in Samegrelo, the region of Georgia with the most delicious dishes ever.
As for Acharian khachapuri, it is commonly referred to as a “cheese boat”. Having the same shape as the boat, this dish will definitely capture your attention. Once you try it, there is no going back, you are going to dream about it when you go back home.
3. Mtsvadi – “Georgian barbeque” is very delicately cooked on a very low fire, set mostly on special bbq machines. Either beef or pork is cooked for about an hour and a half, typically first cut and marinaded for some time.
You can get a taste of “Georgian BBQ” in almost every Georgian restaurant, but if you want to get to the origins of this super-delicious dish, go to Kakheti, the birthplace of mtsvadi.
4. Lobiani – “bean pie” is a general name of this dish. Cooked mostly in Racha, a mounty region of Georgia, lobiani is the essential of Georgian “supra” (dinner at a table). This dish can also be stuffed with meat alongside the beans, but the original lobiani is a wondrous mixture of mashed beans and Georgian herbs.
Lobiani and khachapuri are commonly mentioned together because the original shape of both dishes is the same, the dough is also the same, only the stuffing is different, but trust me it makes all the difference. Both are unique and a must when you travel to this beautiful country.
5. Ghomi- another Megrelian dish, which gives you an authentic local experience. Cooked in almost every family in Georgia, ghomi on the first look is very familiar to rice, but it is a whole different seed with a whole different taste.
The essential thing next to ghomi is cheese. Variety of Georgian cheeses is basically served alongside this dish. Georgians put it inside hot ghomi and when it melts it creates a taste out of this world. | [

Looking within takes courage. Do we really want to see everything that is there? Are we really open to change? If you are having trouble knowing where to start, perhaps this meditation is a good beginning.
I invite you to this guided meditation as a way to reflect. In addition, you will be guided to access guidance and clarity from beyond. I’ve modified this meditation script from one of my spiritual teachers, Dr. Brian Weiss, since his work has been helpful for me.
Meditation is a great way to begin the inner work, and therefore something I bring into therapy sessions. I find that allowing time to share and discuss one’s experience can illuminate insight, inspire action, and solidify themes. | [

Downtown/Channel District/Built Environment – Some Perspective
There were a few articles on downtown last week.
— Progress, But How much?
First, the Business Journal had a look at downtown residential projects.
There are roughly 6,800 people living in about 4,980 residential units in downtown Tampa and the neighborhoods that ring the urban core — the Channel district, Harbour Island — at the end of 2014. There are 1,389 units under construction and another 2,900 in various stages of planning, according to data from the Tampa Downtown Partnership.
The partnership data includes 500 units in Tampa Bay Lightning Owner Jeff Vinik’s billion-dollar, mixed-use district on the southern fringe of downtown, which is subject to change as his real estate team finalizes a master plan for the development. Projects in the works in Harbour Island, the Channel district, North Hyde Park and Tampa Heights are also counted.
But Tampa is behind its competitor cities in urban residential units. Downtown Memphis, Tennessee, had 24,300 residents as of the end of 2014, according to the Downtown Memphis Commission. A 2014 study commissioned by the Nashville Downtown Partnership of mid-tier cities projects downtown Charlotte, North Carolina, to have 15,894 residents by the end of 2015.
Austin, Texas, another chief competitor for jobs and talent, is projected to have 13,536 residents in its downtown. Nashville, Tennessee, according to that same data, is slated to have more than 8,100 residents by the end of 2015.
That is an unusually straight-forward look at what is going on. Here is a nice little graphic (without Encore or Harbour Island) from the article:
Of course, having projects built is better than not having them built, but, as we have long said, we are still playing catch-up and other areas are not just resting on their laurels. Be happy for what is going on, but keep it in perspective.
— Design Matters
One thing the article did not address was the quality of the projects and how projects must interact to create a truly attractive, vibrant urban area, which is important because,
“If we aren’t able to attract the best and brightest, we have no future,” said Mayor Bob Buckhorn, who has made attracting downtown residential development a priority of his administration. “It’s not the shiny, glittery part of downtown that drives me. I know if we can’t create the environment the next generation wants to come to and raise families, we have no future.”
It is not just quantity, but quality, that matters. Last week we discussed proposed projects downtown and noted:
You can see that the retail [in the Grant block project] is basically all on Franklin (with a little store on the southeast corner with a few feet of frontage on Florida). The frontage on Florida (facing the Floridan) will be essentially dead space. We understand that it is hard to put retail along the entirety of all frontage, but other projects, like Skypoint and Element, have done a better job trying to address more streets, so it can be – and should be – done (not necessarily exactly like those two projects, but something better). We are not clear why that is ok with that, but, hopefully, the Lightning owner’s team will take note and not repeat the mistake.
On the other hand, past waves of development in downtown have shown that the City should be very careful about what gets built. (Just go to Tampa Street south of Jackson and see how vibrant – or, rather, not vibrant – the street is even with the large office towers.) We do not just want buildings; we want good buildings that serve to truly develop the downtown area. Walk by Element or Skypoint and you can see they do that. (Are they perfect? No, but they still help not just add residents but to enliven most of the streets around them.)
Over the weekend, there was an article in the Times regarding an interview with the Lightning owner’s urban designers. What they said was very interesting:
Jeff Speck: We need to give the architects that will be (designing) the individual buildings in the project a firm understanding of what their urban obligations are. Where they put their buildings and how those buildings meet the street.
The way we like to say it is we’re trying to create documentation that will ensure that the construction of the private realm creates an ideal public realm, that everything that’s done as a private building makes building the public spaces a better experience.
That is true, and not just for new districts. It applies to other areas, as well.
JS: We’ll be designing the public infrastructure. The trees. The lighting. The benches. A simple example is retail. Retail only works (to encourage walking) when it’s continuous. You can’t have retail and then an office and then retail and then somebody’s house.

Standing at the height of thirty-six metres above Henderson Road, the Henderson Waves Bridge is the highest pedestrian bridge of Singapore. Take a walk along this engineering marvel to relish a panoramic view of Singapore skyline and the lush greenery enveloping the bridge. It is illuminated with bright, psychedelic lights till 2.00 AM, rendering a different charm altogether.
With a length of 274 metres and a width of 8 metres, this stunning piece of architecture connects the lush Telok Blangah Hill Park with the sprawling Mount Faber Park. The extraordinary feature that makes the splendid Henderson Waves Bridge stand out are its seven undulating curved ribs which form an artistic wave-like structure and seem to flow above and below the deck in the form of alternative crests and troughs. These decks, which weave through the steel curves, are made of the indigenous yellow balau timber, and not only do they enhance the appearance of the bridge but also double as shelters with seats made of timber within them.

So here’s what happened:
On the way home from Art & Soul, some of my alcohol inks leaked inside the plastic bag they were packed in. My luggage was saved…but I was faced with a sticky, dried-inky mess to clean up as I unpacked.
I mentioned it on Facebook. And wouldn’t you know, crafty people from all over the world suggested I fish that plastic bag out of the garbage and go make something with it. So here it is!
The alcohol ink part is not the background—the background was a 5:30am painting frenzy that included acrylic paint, Shiva oil paint sticks, punchinella and an old hotel key card. Plus some Dylusions sprays.
But look—you’ll see the alcohol ink on the three horizontal strips going across the collage.
Here’s how I did it:
Step 1: Cut apart the plastic bag.
Step Two: Adhere a strip of clear packing tape to the dried-ink side of the bag and burnish with a bone folder or hotel key card. Then remove the tape—give a yank at one end and you’ll have a lovely piece of sticky tape with a cool pattern of ink. Attach it to white cardstock.
Step Three: Repeat and repeat! You won’t remove all of the alcohol ink from the bag, so you can keep taping and lifting to create lots of beautiful colored strips.
You might wonder why I didn’t just cut apart the plastic bag and use that…well, you certainly could, but I love the ease of having the tape in order to stick it to my surface. Otherwise, I would need to attach the plastic bag to my background with brads or staples or glue or something.
The title is “serendipity”. It also includes feathers found by my small walking-companion-who-picks-up-everything, twine and brads. The kraft paper piece was a paper bag.
The cool thing? You can totally do this without risking your suitcase! Just squeeze a few drops of alcohol ink into a plastic bag, squash it around, then let it air-dry and start with Step One! Try combining different colors (I obviously didn’t get to choose) or even throwing in some Perfect Pearls… | [

With all the fuss and bother around the Obama administration and the recent changes being made (or at least attempted) in the American space program, it's interesting to note that some of the most important changes are new capabilities being developed outside the US in countries with ongoing and strong Canadian connections.
For example, according to the NDTV news website article "GSLV failure: Work on cryogenic engine to continue," the Indian government will continue work on what they call the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) using an Indian developed cryogenic rocket engine which is generally considered as one of the keys to developing a heavy lift launch vehicle. According to the article:
"India has no choice but to master this technology in the long run as it is technology that has been denied to the country, the sources said.Of course, the Indian government ended up making missiles anyway and now has a comprehensive inventory developed through their Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP). It looks like they'll shortly master the core cryogenic technology as well.
It took the country more than 15 years to develop the cryogenic engine as technology for this was denied when, in the 1990s, America put pressure on Russia and forced the cancellation of an Indo-Russian technology transfer deal. The argument given was that India would use these engines to make missiles.
Their goal is the large and lucrative global satellite market which has always been dependent on heavy lift launch vehicles using cryogenic rockets and is currently controlled by the United States, Russia, China, Ukraine and the European Space Agency.
Even the Voice of America, traditionally tied to the United States government (and certainly no friend of missile proliferation), is willing to accept that the present Indian activities are essentially commercial, at least according to their article "India's Efforts to Master Cryogenic Engine Tech Setback Commercial Space Program" which states:
India's dependence on Russian built cryogenic engines to launch heavy satellites has hampered growth, and prompted Indian scientists to develop the technology.The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and other organizations which already use facilities operated through the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) cannot help but benefit from the lower launch costs promised by this Indian initiative.
Indian space scientists hope to offer satellite launch services at much cheaper rates compared to Western countries, and expand the business to about $120 million a year. | [

Some of the most inspirational paintings I’ve ever seen have been paintings that made me want to grab a heavy coat, scarf, and gloves and view them while sipping some hot chocolate. I have such fond memories of snow covered landscapes as a kid that I just can’t help but try to relive those experiences when we get a little snow.
Here in NC, we don’t get to see substantial snowfall, so, when the opportunity arises…or falls, I try to make it a point to grab the plein air painting gear, bundle up, and hit the snow!
Here’s a few of the plein air paintings that I managed to get completed during our time of snow:
I tried looking in the not so obvious places for subject matter with this painting. Sometimes, your best paintings are the ones that you force yourself to look beyond your usual compositions.
This was a particularly cold day. I experimented with my acrylic paints by adding antifreeze to my water that I wash my brushes out and thin my paint with. It actually turned out nice…no frozen water, but the paint did get a little “pastey”. However, some good ol’ Golden Open gel medium solved that problem.
I love the lights on a snow covered night. It was terribly cold, but totally worth it.
If you’re interested in any of the above paintings, feel free to contact me for pricing and availability. | [

3/4′ Water Pressure Reducing Valve: Ideal for use where Lead-Free valves are required. Designed for installation on potable water lines to reduce high inlet pressure to a lower outlet pressure. The high flow capacity makes this device most suitable for industrial water lines and commercial irrigation systems. The direct acting integral by- pass design prevents buildup of excessive system pressure caused by thermal expansion. The balanced piston design enables the regulator to react in a smooth and responsive manner to changes in system flow demand, while at the same time, providing protection from inlet pressure changes. | [

A combined inverter and charger in one elegant package. The ultimate in off grid micro-functionality for camper vans, RVs, boats, and off-grid homes.
Available on backorder
|FOR LARGER QUANTITIES CONTACT [email protected]|
This inverter will allow you to transform solar energy coming from solar panels, or stored energy coming from batteries into AC power, the power that you use in your home. This allows you to plug any electronics that have an AC wall plug into this inverter.
12 Volts, 2,000 watts. For use with 12V batteries to power anything that uses AC power (the power in your wall socket)
Compatible with solar panels. For higher efficiency we recommend using with a battery and a solar charge controller.
This inverter and charger combo makes it easy to use energy available from your batteries in the form of an AC wall plug. The Multiplus inverter connects to your Dakota Lithium batteries and can charge them via the alternator in a gasoline engine, via solar panels, or via shore power. If you are charging your batteries with solar panels you will want a solar charge controller. The remote monitoring capabilities will tell you how much power your have available at any time.
Recommenced battery size for this inverter is a 2X the 100 Ah Dakota Lithium battery or larger.
The MultiPlus will prevent overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. First, battery charging will automatically be reduced when otherwise an overload would occur. The second level will boost the output of a generator or shore side supply with power taken from the battery.
In the event of a grid failure, or when shore or generator power is disconnected, the inverter within the Multi is automatically activated and takes over the supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.
Up to 6 Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Three phase or split phase operation is also possible. Please check our datasheets to see which models have paralleling, three phase and split phase capabilities.
When coupled with a GX device (e.g. Cerbo GX) you can monitor and control your Multi and system or systems' locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world, using the free VRM app and free VRM portal website. Access can be from a phone, tablet, laptop or PC for multiple operating systems. There is no end to the level of control, from adjusting your Multi to auto starting a backupgenerator and more…
Charge house batteries at 50 amps or 80 amps an hour. Programmable settings allow for use with any batteries (Dakota Lithium like to be charged at 14.4 volts).
I bought two units. Pretty impressive pieces of technology. The more I read online of their capabilities the more impressed I became. The manual is pretty basic and unimpressive. I was led to believe the programming for my purposes was via the units’ dip switches. What I wish I knew before the purchase is they require software programming to enable two or more units to sync for your intended purpose. By default they’re set to standalone 120V operation. In my case I wanted 240V split-phase ops so I need to set that up via software with the two 120V units 180 degrees out of phase. You need to download the free Victron software but also you need the Victron Energy Interface MK3-USB (VE.Bus to USB) unit. With taxes the unit’s about $77 USD. I’m still waiting on it from another vendor (didn’t see it on DL’s site) but, in the meantime, I’m getting my programming education from Victron and some You Tubers, I don’t see any reason why I’ll change my rating here. Another benefit of programming is enabling the use of a small output generator. The software enables limiting the inverter’s generator current draw to that supplied by the generator. You supplement the generator’s load supply by drawing from the batteries as the load increases past the generator’s capacity. During light loading the Victron unit recharges the batteries. Single, split, and 3 phase operations are just three modes available. For my mission, this does everything plus! | [

Introduction to Quantitative Biology in Biology
In a expanding variety of consumer-oriented biology books and articles, a rather weak foundation of quantitative biology in biology has been present.
The whole notion of quantitative biology has been entirely devalued by some biologist. It has led to just about the most widespread misconceptions buy paper online of quantitative biology. This article will provide you with an introduction into the topic.
To start out with, the purpose of all biological sciences would be to comprehend how the biochemical and molecular processes of living items (like humans) are accountable for the generation of our culture and environment. This really is the very first definition of how the scientific idea of quantitative biology in biology was born.
Quantitative Biology means that the study of biology at the same time as human society is based on the study of how life functions. It can be more than just a comparison of structures and functions of living things. In addition, it entails the process of evolution and extinction.
Evolution is definitely an crucial topic in biology. Biological evolution is triggered by the many alterations that take spot inside the history of life. It started in the straightforward life that existed in sea water. As time passed, evolution led to the development of your unique varieties of life and also the evolution of new species appear.
The development of life forms was a very complicated and long course of action that took millions of years. Though, there’s a general consensus that the origin of life led for the development on the complex life forms, biologists still can’t agree on no matter whether these complicated life types will be the result of evolution or not.
If the complexity of complex life types is proven to be the result of evolution, then evolution can be referred to as a sort of “theory of every little thing.” This really is the explanation why several evolutionary biologists in the field of quantitative biology in biology refuse to classify these life forms as “evolutionary species.” They argue that no single theory of every thing can present adequate explanation for the functioning in the whole globe.
However, there’s one particular reality that numerous biologists agree on; animal and plant are surely not the results of evolution. They each evolved from simpler life forms that existed inside the earth’s early days. Plants are very complicated and animal is quite straightforward.
Complex and straightforward are usually not necessarily synonymous with organic and inorganic. Hence, it’s wrong to call all animals and plants as complex and easy. Scientists study the entire ecosystem to find out what are the simple laws of life.
How an ecosystem operates is exceptionally significant towards the goal of biological sciences. buy essay cheap online Scientists studying ecology also attempt to understand how these ecosystems function.
They also try to study the effects of various laws of life on climate modify, alterations in the carbon cycle, or the will need for environmental modification, the environmental impact of globalization as well as the want for carbon sink activities to combat climate alter. This really is one in the purposes of quantitative biology in biology: to understand how these ecosystems work and the basis of understanding and forecasting the effects of environmental change.
Of course, any scientist knows that the entire ecosystem is usually studied in numerous elements for instance the chemistry, physiology, biochemistry, population dynamics, evolution, ecology, etc. As numerous theories is usually involved within the study of ecosystems, it becomes essential to be capable of evaluate the ideas before 1 begins generating predictions.
Consequently, it truly is incorrect to claim that the study in the natural world is irrelevant to biology. Research in the all-natural globe can assist to evaluate the outcomes of ecological analysis. They could also help us to predict and have an understanding of how ecological systems could possibly modify. | [

Edward McKendree Bounds did not merely pray well that he might write well about prayer. He prayed because the needs of the world were upon him. He prayed, for long years, upon subjects which the easy-going Christian rarely gives a thought, and for objects which men of less thought and faith are always ready to call impossible. From his solitary prayer-vigils, year by year, there arose teaching equaled by few men in modern Christian history. He wrote transcendently about prayer, because he was himself, transcendent in its practice.
As breathing is a physical reality to us so prayer was a reality for Bounds. He took the command, 'Pray without ceasing almost as literally as animate nature takes the law of the reflex nervous system, which controls our breathing.

About the Author
Read an Excerpt
Chapter 1 The Ministry of Prayer
The ministry of prayer has been the peculiar distinction of all of God's saints. This has been the secret of their power. The energy and the soul of their work has been the closet. The need of help outside of man being so great, given man's natural inability to always judge kindly, justly, and truly and to act the Golden Rule, so prayer is enjoined by Christ to enable man to act in all these things according to the divine will. By prayer, the ability is secured to feel the law of love, to speak according to the law of love, and to do everything in harmony with the law of love.
God can help us. God is a Father. We need God's good things to help us to "do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God" (Micah 6:8). We need divine aid to act brotherly, wisely, and nobly, and to judge truly and charitably. God's help to do all these things in God's way is secured by prayer. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (Matthew 7:7).
About the marvelous output of Christian graces and duties which are the result of giving ourselves wholly to God, we find the words recorded in Romans, "Continuing instant in prayer," preceded by "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation," and followed by, "Distributing to the necessity of the saints, given to hospitality" (Romans 12:12-13). Paul thus writes as if these rich and rare graces and unselfish duties so sweet, bright, generous, and unselfish had for their center and source the ability to pray. This is the same word used of the prayer of the disciples which ushered in Pentecost with all of its rich and glorious blessings of the Holy Spirit. In Colossians, Paul presses the word into the service of prayer again, "Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving." (Colossians 4:2). The word in its background and root means strong, the ability to stay and persevere steadfast, to hold fast and firm, to give constant attention to.
Acts 6:4 is translated, "Give ourselves continually to prayer." There is in it constancy, courage, unfainting perseverance. It means giving such marked attention to and such deep concern to a thing that it will be conspicuous and controlling. This is an advance in demand on "continue." Prayer is to be incessant, without intermission, assiduous, no check in desire, in spirit or in act, the spirit and the life always in the attitude of prayer. The knees may not always be bent, the lips may not always be vocal with words of prayer, but the spirit is always in the act and communication of prayer.
There ought to be no adjustment of life or spirit for closet hours. The closet spirit should sweetly rule and adjust all times and occasions. Our activities and work should be performed in the same spirit which makes our devotion and which makes our closet time sacred. "Without intermission, incessantly, assiduously," describes an opulence, an energy, and unabated and ceaseless strength and fullness of effort--like the full, inexhaustible, and spontaneous flow of an artesian stream. Touch the man of God who thus understands prayer, at any point, at any time, and a full current of prayer is seen flowing from him.
But all these untold benefits, of which the Holy Spirit is made to us the conveyor, go back in their disposition and results to prayer. Not on a little process and a mere performance of prayer is the coming of the Holy Spirit and of His great grace conditioned, but on prayer set on fire by an unquenchable desire with such a sense of need as cannot be denied, with a fixed | [

Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream
WHAT IS JESUS WORTH TO YOU?"
It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...
BUT WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES LIKE THAT? DO YOU?
In" Radical," David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to "believe "and "obey "what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus.
Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

The cochlea is the snail-shaped organ that mammals use to perceive and transduce sound, and is located deep in the inner ear. Hair cells lie on a membrane in the cochlea’s interior, and sound waves disperse through the fluid-filled spaces which contact the hair cells (for more on this go here). Many people in the field have wondered over the year why the cochlea is shaped the way it is. Is it to conserve space? To better preserve the integrity of sound waves? Recently it has been discovered that the unique coiled shaped of the cochlea boosts its sensitivity to low frequencies, as reported in a March issue of Physical Review Focus by Chadwick et al.
The fluid-filled space inside the cochlea (the scala media) coils from base to apex continuously, but the properties of this space gradually change the further “up” the cochlea sound travels. The sound waves reach their “sweet spot” at different places along the cochlea, which allows the cochlea to distinguish frequency, however this phenomenon would not be altered if the cochlea was a straight tube. But what the spiral shape DOES facilitate is the transmitted vibrations that translate into nerve signals. Calculations show that as a sound wave progresses, the energy increasingly accumulates near the outside edge of the spiral, where the sensory cells of the ear sit (hair cells). The spiral shape ensures that sound will focus close to the “wall” of the cochlea, towards the sensory cells. Low frequencies travel the farthest, so the effect is greatest for those ranges.
This is especially interesting given that not all species of hearing animals have spiral-shaped organs for sound detection. Birds, whose equivalent of the cochlea is called the basilar papilla, is a flat tube lined with hair cells. It tapers slightly but is mostly 2-dimensional. Birds’ hearing is variable across species, some have wider frequency ranges that humans, some have narrower. Owls even have asymmetrical ears, with one being slightly higher up on the head that the other increasing their ability to detect the direction of sound. | [

Defense contractor EADS is thinking about its options, following the Air Force’s choice to give Boeing that $35 billion tanker contract.
EADS met with the Air Force yesterday about the decision. The company has ten days to protest the award.
Retired Air Force Lieutenant General Mike Dunn is president of the Air Force Association. He discusses the award – and whether it’ll stick.
