Our democracy and Parliamentary system is in a Brexit shaped crisis. Before going on any further you can register to vote here. Please do, and encourage your friends and family to register to vote. In a study carried out by Peter Kellner the former President of pollsters YouGov in 0000 it was found that half a million fewer people each year, or around 0,000 a day, now support Brexit - meaning that on 00th January 0000 0000 there were more people likely to vote Remain than to Leave the EU. This is based on if nobody had changed their minds. Other polls show that this is not the case now that people are more informed. So with that, and the fact that young people who are now able to vote overwhelmingly favour Remaining in the European Union. Kellner's study found that an additional 000,000 Remain voters join the electorate each year, as 000,000 reach voting age and 000,000 die. Theresa May repeats the phrase ‘Will of the British people' multiple times a day. As we can see it is difficult for any rational person to maintain that Brexit is still the will of the British people. It is highly likely that a General Election and/or a second referendum will be called very soon to break the deadlock in Parliament. If you think it will be helpful, please do share this article. Please do start a conversation, the future of our country and the ability of our young people specifically to have freedom of movement to live and work in different countries depends on it. | 2019-04-18T11:15:44Z | null | {

Amanda Cates, Christ Church, How to Start a Tween Ministry, Tween Ministry, What is a Tween? What Is A "Tween" and Why Should They Matter To Your Church? It's a Sunday morning and I couldn't wait to get to work! I knew that all my elementary kids were going to love the Large Group set we designed for the month, and that we had finally found worship music that would engage our older elementary kids as well as our younger ones. So there it was; time to see their reactions to the set! I was excited, but they didn't really react as I had thought. My 0st-0rd graders seemed to like the set, but just as every other week, it seemed as though many of them were holding back for some reason. My 0th and 0th graders again seemed like my set was about as cool and engaging as if I was showing them a toddler TV show. I can remember thinking, "Ugh, what is it going to take to get through to this group?". We still had worship to go, and I knew it was going to be awesome! It wasn't. My 0th and 0th graders continued to be the wall flowers they had been every other week for as far back as I could remember. My younger kids wanted to be involved with the worship and dance moves, but something was holding most of them back. What was it going to take for me to solve this problem in my ministry? It was taking a toll on my volunteers. It was taking a toll on me. We would watch kids feel "too cool" to be involved and others want to be involved, but then they would hold back. Why was this happening? Why wouldn't the kids just let go and enjoy our worship time? Then it hit me. The kids weren't the problem! My approach was. My first step was to figure out why this age group was different from other age groups. My daughter was in this age range. I knew clothing stores and TV shows targeted this group called Tweens. Why? What makes them so unique? Let's start by defining "Tween". A Tween is commonly defined as a child between the ages of 0 to 00 years old; or 0th-0th grades. We certainly did not have this term when I was that age. Next, I had to learn what's changed between my childhood and now that would make this group a target audience. In the early 00th century the word adolescence was invented to describe the years between childhood and adulthood. This was considered ages of 00 -00 years. Prior to that, girls were considered adults around the age of 00-00 years and boys at 00-00 years old. In the 0000's we began to see the emergence of a thriving youth culture all their own. Teens continued participating in this youth culture up to the age of 00 years. Society responded by extending the upper limit of adolescence to 00 years. Jump forward 00 years to the 0000's. It's noted that the onset of puberty is starting at the age of 00. Society responds again by now extending the lower boundary of adolescence to 00 years old. In the 0000's we start seeing our not quite teenagers trying to participate in the youth culture of our teenagers. They aren't teens, but they aren't willing to be considered little kids any more either. They are in between. They are Tweens! Why should we, the church, minister separately to the Tween group? Let's look at the differences in learning stages between a 0st grader and 0th grader. A child in 0st grade is moving from a world of play based learning into a learning environment of routines with plenty of room for exploration still. A prepubescent 0th grader is working on complex projects and tasks that force them to utilize all the skills they have thus far learned. They are most likely switching teachers for one or more subjects per day, and are spending much of their time learning and understanding complex social rules and interacting with peers. They also have the ability to think logically. With such differences between the learning stages of these two examples, how can we possibly teach them the same thing at the same time? We can't. Disney and Nickelodeon are capitalizing off of understanding this. Tween's have TV shows created specifically for them. They are filled with all knowing tweens and young teens, idiotic acting adults and parental figures, witches, wizards, and materialism. This isn't the message that we, the church, want our future based on. By creating a separate ministry for tweens we can put Godly influences into their world. If you are a Children's or Youth Minister you have either read or heard of Thom Rainer's and George Barna's research regarding youth and children's ministry. It's clear that kids are leaving the church as young as 0th grade. If the church doesn't reach kids by the time they are 00 years old the statistics of them being reached at all drop drastically. The tween years are the last frontier of reaching kids for Jesus! How does one go about starting a ministry for tweens? Start by meeting them where they are. Separate Them. Give them a space of their own. We all have limited abilities for this, but even using a multipurpose room that is separate from your younger elementary kids will work great. Use videos! Try not to use animation, but if you must, be picky. Ask yourself, would a 00 year old like this? If not, don't use it for tweens. Use music! Have high energy worship music. Play genres they listen to; rap, rock, pop it's all available in Christian music. Use fun games to energize your Large Group time. Try Stuff You Can Use and Fun Ninja as resources for ideas. Build a Youth Group. This can be accomplished by planning events such as lock-ins, camps, movie and game nights, etc. You can add a Youth Group night to your schedule. It doubles the time your Small Group Leaders get with these kids. It's a win/win! Assimilate them. Connect tweens to the adult church. If we have research that shows kids are leaving the church around this age, we need to provide them a place they WANT to be. Show them that their church needs them and that they have a place in the church besides a class room. Allow them to greet, usher, hand out bulletins, occasionally lead prayer or read scripture during services. Some of this may take coordinating with others leaders on your staff, but in the end it's worth it. As a Mom, I saw my own children's world shift at the 0th Grade ages. I talked to other parents and found out we weren't alone. The media, music industry, and commercials all spend millions of dollars targeting this age group. They have figured out that these kids are an influential part of society. As the church, we need to realize the same. After all, we are influencing them for the Kingdom of God. As a KidMin Leader, I have been able to create a place for tweens where Small Group Leaders understand that they think mainly in the abstract for the first time in their lives. We focus every week on how Biblical principles apply to the pressures they face in today's society. They are slowly integrated into the Youth Group atmosphere through intentionally mimicking our own Youth Group. Most importantly of all, they have the opportunity to see how they fit into the larger church. We have an obligation to the kids God has called us to minister to. That obligation is to connect them with Him. By making a few changes in your ministry you can impact them for the Kingdom and keep them in church. | 2019-04-18T14:37:55Z | null | {

For more than a decade, Daveyton's Mayor, Tom Boya, was Pretoria's evidence of the legitimacy of the municipal councils running its segregated black townships. As president of the United Municipalities of South Africa, an organization of black municipal officials, Mr. Boya put aside his mayoral duties and traveled as far afield as the United States and Brazil to discourse on the concerns of local government. But he recently stunned a crowd of 00,000 residents of Daveyton by announcing that he was quitting his posts. He said the system with which he had become identified had no future. Whether motivated by conscience or survival, his unexpected resignation elicited wild cheers and seemed to signal the beginning of the end for black township governments. Mr. Boya, who is 00 years old, said the handwriting appeared on the wall after the African National Congress was made legal and Nelson Mandela released in February. "I realized there was no room any more for a person to serve in a structure created by the Government," he said. His decision to quit, he said, was prompted by his inability to stop the state-owned power company from switching off Daveyton's electricity for four days recently because of unpaid bills. He said it illustrated the frustrations he had faced in Daveyton since joining its town council in 0000. "The weakness of the black local authorities was simply lack of funds, lack of local sources of revenue," Mr. Boya said. But, he quickly added, "the structures were illegitimate" because the white minority Government had imposed them on blacks. Their resources are not shared with the satellite black townships, which began as stark dormitories for blacks working at menial jobs in white areas and which suffer chronic poverty and unemployment. Anti-apartheid civic associations have organized boycotts of rent and utility payments to protest inferior living conditions, which deprive municipal governments of the modest revenue upon which they depend. The associations have accused municipal officials like Mr. Boya of being puppets of apartheid. Satisfied that the crisis had been resolved, Mr. Boya flew to Rio de Janeiro for a conference. In his absence, the deal collapsed when the Transvaal Provincial Administration insisted that most of the money paid go to pay municipal wages and only a little to the utility company. He returned home to find the electricity turned off and his constituents irate. "I felt so lonely," Mr. Boya said. "I felt rejected. I felt betrayed." The electricity was turned back on after residents took the utility company to court. Mr. Boya's foreboding about the future of black local government was heightened when he went to a United Municipalities conference recently and found only 0 of its 00 municipal councils represented. Mr. Boya said he went to the other rally and decided to quit. "You could have heard a pin when I went over to the podium," he said. "I then offered my resignation." James Ngubo, chairman of the Daveyton Interim Committee said that "Mr. Boya coming out really symbolizes that the system is bankrupt." He said the white minority Government had set up Mr. Boya as a "good black man" to make black local authorities palatable. His group had pressed Mr. Boya to resign, Mr. Ngubo said, and the power cuts "must have been the last straw for him." Four other Daveyton councillors have followed Mr. Boya's example. Mr. Boya predicted the inevitable collapse of all township government structures. "I think it will be very healthy when it happens," he said. "From those ruins, we can build." He said municipalites must encompass white and black communities together and pool their revenue. And municipalities, he said, should be defined by region instead of race. "The Government should abolish black local authorities and white local authorities and call for an election of local authorities under one umbrella," he said. | 2019-04-24T11:16:14Z | null | {

A teenage girl BIT a police officer on the wrist in Walsall. Although the officer was wearing a coat, the 00-year-old's teeth still managed to puncture the skin. The female officer, who was attempting to help the teen at the time, must now take a course of antibiotics as a result of the assault. A spokesman for West Midlands Police's Force Response, took to Twitter to share a picture of the officer's wound. The tweet, posted on Tuesday evening (February 0), said: "Officer bitten tonight. A 00-year-old girl who a #Eunit # Walsall officer was trying to help, decided to bite the officer on the arm. "Luckily the officer had her coat on, which lessened the injury, but they will still need a course of antibiotics." | 2019-04-26T10:26:46Z | null | {

JERUSALEM: Israel could respond to any Iranian attack on it from Syria by toppling Syrian President Bashar Assad's government, an Israeli security cabinet minister said on Monday, hinting that Assad himself may be targeted for assassination. Israel and Iran have traded blows over Syria since February, stirring concern that major escalation could be looming ahead of next week's review decision by US President Donald Trump on the 0000 international nuclear deal with Tehran. Sharpening these warnings, Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said on Monday that Assad may find himself in Israel's sights. "If Assad allows Iran to turn Syria into a military vanguard against us, to attack us from Syrian territory, he should know that would be the end of him, the end of his regime," Steinitz told the Ynet news site. There was no immediate response from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office or from Israel's Defense Ministry. A Ynet text story had quoted Steinitz as saying explicitly that Israel would kill Assad, but this was not borne out by a video clip of the interview. On Sunday, Israeli media carried what they described as an alert by Israel's intelligence services that Iran was planning a missile salvo against Israeli military bases from within Syria. Some analysts interpreted the publication as a warning to Iran that its plans were known, lest it try to carry out the missile strike without explicitly claiming responsibility. On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss Syria, where Moscow wants to see Assad's rule restored. "Whoever is interested in Assad's survival should do the honor of telling Assad to prevent attacks on Israel," Steinitz said, alluding to Putin. | 2019-04-18T11:23:49Z | null | {

Individual universities' UCUs are voting overwhelmingly to reject a deal struck with Universities UK that would have brought an end to the ongoing lecturer strikes. Unless you've had no access to the outside world for the last month, you will have noticed that there have been widespread strikes going on across the country. The strikes also saw several student occupations across the country in solidarity with the striking staff. Since the proposal was released on Monday afternoon, 00 university branches of the UCU have rejected the deal, with this number set to rise as more committee meetings are held to discuss the proposal. So far none have voted to accept the deal. UPDATE: The Higher Education Commission has also rejected the deal due to the overwhelming disapproval of the deal from university branches of the UCU. | 2019-04-23T04:46:13Z | null | {

Kyblack00 posted a topic in Member Rides & Builds -- Show off your whip, Show off your System! Ok, before I do anything, I want to be 000% sure how I can and should go about this. First off I have an AQ 0000.0 0 SSA ZCON 00's Dual 0OHM 0 singer 000amp alt installed 0 xs d0000 in the front 0 xs d0000 in the back 0 runs of SHCA 0/0 positive (fused respectively), 0 run negative What I want to do is have a dual alt setup. 0. Reinstall the original alt for the vehicle; leave the singer alt for the audio system. 0. Install regular battery for vehicle, place front batt with back batt. Then add 0 more batts in back. 0 total in back. So I guess I'm confused as how to wire it all up. Or I might know but just need to write it down to understand and maybe get some input. Regular alt and battery: install as it was just stock with no audio at all. Singer alt: Alt to fuses>back batteries>amp. Where I think I'm stuck is getting two alts to run. Also the two negatives I had from front batt to back batt, do I just ground them to singer alt? Can both alts share negative grounds? Not sure how all that works as far as negatives. If all batts for audio are in the back, would I have to run grounds to the front to engine? or just to frame and then the singer alt ground? I think I covered it all. kryptonite posted a topic in Member Rides & Builds -- Show off your whip, Show off your System!

Portland is the most bike-friendly city in the US, according to National Geographic Traveler. Despite the prestigious ranking, it strives to better its infrastructure with the approval of the Portland Bicycle Plan for 0000. The city council approved the Bicycle Plan through a unanimous vote of 0-0 on 00 February. The long-range plan points to several key principals that aim to improve Portland's ridership. It includes attracting new riders, strengthening bike policies, expanding the city's bike networks and programs that support cycling, increasing bike parking and increasing funding for cycling facilities. "Those kinds of investments are really going to help improve public health, air and water quality, and the livability of our neighborhoods," Kransky said. The new plan is based on the original 0000 Bike Master Plan and Portland has been working on the 0000 version since 0000. "It's an affordable investment and a cheaper way to build out a transportation network by investing in these types of infrastructures as oppose to investing in an infrastructure for vehicles and cars," he said. The Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) was involved in the plan development by providing technical advice, analysis and drafting support. BTA is a Portland-based cycling advocacy organisation aimed at ‘creating healthy, sustainable communities by making bicycling safe, convenient and accessible' in Oregon and Southwest Washington. According to Kransky, it will take a combination of revenue from all available sources to bring a plan of this magnitude to life. "We are thinking creatively all the way from business adopting a mile or a city block, looking into city transportation budgets, regional transportation budgets, state transportation funds and federal transportation funds," he said. The Portland Bureau of Transportation has already begun implementing initial projects listed in the plan and some 00km of new bike lanes will be created this year. While it's a modest amount compared to the plan at large, it represents the start. | 2019-04-23T16:23:42Z | null | {

Don and I went to the Nationwide Arena to meet with one of the players. As it ended up, that player was not able to meet with us today so it was a wasted trip, right? Well, maybe not a wasted trip after all. Is it a wasted trip if we have significant conversations with three security officers we have been building relationships with for quite some time? One officer is having significant health issues and we pray with her nearly every time we go. We have met and prayed for her husband who was out of work and God answered prayer by supplying a job, right there at the arena. To God be the glory! I wonder if it was wasted as we handed out copies of Cedarville Universities latest magazine that Jeff Beste gave us plenty of copies to hand out since there was a significant article written about one of my ministry partners, Don Callan, and his influence on others. We were handing them out like candy to people we work with and you should have seen their eyes light up! Yes, even the TV commentators with whom we have built relationships, were appreciative and very interested in the article and the man behind the article. Yep, the assistant coach who is a believer said he would read it to put himself to sleep tonight (his way of saying, "I love you guys"). I wonder if our agenda is always God's agenda. This I know, all these people were not on our agenda but it seems to be God has a way of directing our paths in ways we cannot plan. The secret is, I like God's agenda better than my own agenda anyway. It is a lot more fun. Hey, we love you two and are so thrilled for what you do to spread God's love and saving Grace to athletes and whoever! | 2019-04-18T16:55:59Z | null | {

Improvisation is a mighty word that holds the power to stir up fear and dread in the hearts of many artists. It has such potency, in fact, that we tend to shorten it to its far more emotionally tolerable and cute version, improv. Hear how pithy and fun that sounds? A little word like that could never hurt us or make us want to crawl into a dark corner, rocking back and forth, murmuring creepily to ourselves, "You're okay, you're okay, you're okay." But those who consistently shy away from improvisation do themselves a great injustice as they actively and willingly deny the incredible, complex, hard-to-define experience it offers. With all senses engaged--yes, even your smeller--at a level both higher and deeper, improvisation provides us with the semi-structured freedom to generate artistic moments and works we had no idea we were capable of creating. And, boy howdy, does it feel good! It is in this spirit that Unrehearsed MKE, the musically driven improv project, was founded back in March, 0000. Now held at its permanent home, The Jazz Estate--recently under new ownership--every first Sunday of the month, it continues to grow and thrive as a gotta-do-that performance opportunity for musicians and artists wanting to shed their comfort zones and get free, baby. The backstory of Unrehearsed MKE, shared with me by founder/co-curator/drummer/composer/educator Devin Drobka, is an age-old one: A musician starts jamming with another musician who has an idea to create a project so good--in this case Out Of Your Head Baltimore & Brooklyn--that the other musician decides to do something similar in another city--Milwaukee--and BAM! Unrehearsed MKE is born. "When I started the series I was doing everything and it was great when I first moved back and was trying to just get things happening and I had more time. Then when my life started picking up and I was doing some more touring I was needing help with curating and running it so I asked my good friend Barry to help me out and he did such a wonderful job that it just made sense to have more people involved. Steve joined us and the rest is history to this point. Both are such creative forces that it makes for such an amazing time working with them and having creative stimulation. We talk about this stuff a lot and each brings such a fresh perspective on improvising to their curatorial duties." The main goal of Unrehearsed MKE is to bring together folks from different musical genres--jazz, experimental, rock, blues, what have you--as well as artists of other disciplines--visual art, dance, video, poetry, whatnot--to collaborate in spontaneous, improvisational performances. As the name suggests, there is no rehearsal, no preparation and no net, so expect the seat of your pantaloons to get a real workout! As far as the curatorial process goes, Clark and Gallam have essentially the same approach but express it very much in their own individual terms. Clark: "My curatorial approach often involves trying to put together musicians who I know have strong skills in their craft individually, but who are also very good listeners, and can communicate effectively and honestly in new situations. I think that's the basis of really well done improvisation, just being able to effectively and honestly communicate with others using your craft in a new situation. One thought I put into the curation sometimes, though not always, is to put together 'traditional' ensembles to perform this completely not traditional performance. For example, a string quartet or quintet with violin, viola, cello, bass, piano. Although some of the most non-traditional ensembles are the best, like having trombone, bass, synthesized electronics and percussion all improvising together!" Gallam: "The curating process, at least for me, is all about variety and group size. I usually keep my groups small, since the other dudes typically have larger ensembles. Aside from many emails, questions, and Facebook messages, that's it! That's curating. The rest happens on the night in question when the musicians finally get together (much of the time they have never met each other before) and then we introduce them and tell them to get on with it. If it weren't for the fantastic group of musicians who genuinely enjoy this music, it would just be the 'Steve Gallam Trio feat. Barry Bass and Devin Drum' and we would do minor-key arrangements of John Philip Sousa marches backwards, and no one wants to see that." HA! I'd like to agree that no one would want to see/hear Sousa marches backwards, Mr. Gallam, but we all know there's someone out there who would--someone who probably likes to wear a replica Sousa marching band conductor uniform with a few interesting alterations, but I'm just guessing. Anyhoo, the next session of Unrehearsed MKE is this Sunday, August 0, at The Jazz Estate, 0000 N Murray Avenue in Milwaukee, beginning at 0:00PM. Extra Exciting Bonus: The second of three sets features experimental guru Hal Rammel on electric sound palette with Jay Mollerskov on electric guitar, so don't miss it! For those musicians and artists who'd like join in on the pithy improv fun on a future date, contact unrehearsedmke at gmail dot com for more intel. Don't forget to tell 'em what you play/do, your availability and what moniker you most eagerly respond to when addressed. | 2019-04-19T14:27:38Z | null | {

The Malampaya Deep Water Gas-to-Power Project employs state-of-the-art deep water technology to extract natural gas and condensate from the sea floor. Such technology includes sub-sea facilities, a shallow water production platform, an underwater pipeline, a catenary-anchored leg mooring buoy, and an onshore processing gas plant. Three combined-cycle gas turbine plants-the 0,000-megawatt Sta. Rita power station, the 000-megawatt San Lorenzo power station, and the 0,000-megawatt Ilijan power station-are supplied with processed natural gas to generate a combined 0,000 megawatts of power for Luzon. Malampaya gas is utilized for the government's pilot CNG program for public utility transport, which consists of a mother and daughter filling station located at the onshore gas plant and at a Shell station in Laguna. Dubbed the "fuel of the future", natural gas is composed of gaseous hydrocarbons found deep underground, or extracted through driven wells. It is formed beneath the earth's surface over millions of years by the decomposition of organic matter, in much the same way that oil and coal are formed. Natural gas is 00-00% methane, with varying amounts of ethane, propane, butane, and other hydrocarbon compounds. Some condensate and oil will always be associated with the gas. In its natural state, the gas is colorless, odorless, and lighter than air. | 2019-04-21T19:00:04Z | null | {

Eric Lonsdorf is a lead scientist with the Natural Capital Project, a collaborative partnership between the University of Minnesota, Stanford University, the Nature Conservancy and the World Wildlife Fund. Eric develops ecological models for decision-makers faced with making decisions in conservation biology and natural resource management under considerable uncertainty with limited resources. Specifically, he leads development and application of a model to predict crop pollination services provided by wild bees; works with government and non-governmental organizations to develop options of compensatory mitigation for incidental take of golden eagles by wind turbine facilities; and is interested in applying principles of adaptive management to ecosystem service-based land management. Ultimately, he thinks of conservation management problems like a business problem in which a species or community or ecosystem function of concern is a commodity to be produced with the greatest certainty and managed at the least cost. Eric earned his Ph.D. in ecology, evolution and behavior from the University of Minnesota. He lives in Lancaster, Pa., with his wife, daughter and son. | 2019-04-20T08:47:11Z | null | {

Banks are now beginning to heavily invest in blockchain applications in an effort to cut costs, streamline back-office processes, and reduce the risk of fraud. According to the chief executives of ING and BBVA, the technology has the potential to revolutionise the global banking industry. Other major members of the financial sector are also beginning to reap the benefits of blockchain. UBS and IBM are currently involved in Batavia, the blockchain-based global trade finance platform, and PwC recently unveiled a blockchain audit service. Nonetheless, many remain reluctant to fully engage with the technology. Last October, UBS warned that bitcoin exists in a "speculative bubble", and CEO of the bank, Sergio Ermotti, reiterated this belief in his declaration that he is "not necessarily" an advocate of cryptocurrencies. Ermotti asserts that blockchain technology has the potential to "transform the cost base" of the finance industry "in the next 0 to 00 years." The major banks are endeavouring to stay relevant, but only time will tell whether the somewhat unfamiliar technology will thrive in a financial sector that remains somewhat dubious towards blockchain. | 2019-04-19T15:26:14Z | null | {

Today: Mostly sunny, with a high near 00. South wind 0 to 00 mph. Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 00. East southeast wind around 0 mph becoming south after midnight. Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 00. Light south southwest wind becoming southwest 0 to 00 mph in the morning. Tuesday Night: A 00 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 00. Northwest wind 0 to 00 mph. Wednesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 00. North northwest wind around 00 mph, with gusts as high as 00 mph. Wednesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 00. Thursday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 00. Friday: A slight chance of showers before 0pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 00. Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 00. Another hot one by not only late September criteria but also mid- summer standards is in store today. If 00 is reached at Chicago it would be the first time with six 00 degree days in a row since July 0000 and the first time in September since 0000. The longstanding upper ridge continues across the eastern half of the country today. There is a weak short wave circulation and associated 000mb cool pocket (+0C) seen on water vapor imagery over southern Illinois this morning. This feature will drift north today in the highly amplified pattern, and patches of high/mid cloud with it as well as some more cumulus will be seen. Forcing from this wave provides an outside chance of a couple showers this afternoon mainly in northwest to north central Illinois. This is where the cap is forecast to be neared or just barely overcome -- and that is factoring boundary layer mixing of lower dew points. None of the CAM solutions are overly excited but have simulated reflectivity "blips" in that area. Temperatures early this morning are running about 0-0 degrees cooler than previous mornings thanks to lower dew points and 000-000mb temperatures down about 0C in 00 hours. Taking this into account, have high temperatures forecast around 00 which would be near or right at record. The slightly lower dew points of lower 00s keep forecast heat index readings just a degree or two above the temperature. A lake breeze again will develop by noon and advance inland in lake adjacent counties in a similar way to yesterday. Expecting downtown to peak in 00s. A couple small chances for rain -- which has been a rarely used word locally this month -- present themselves on Tuesday and then again late in the week. All in all though, dryness should prevail much of if not all of this week. While some locations especially east could be up to the 00 mark Tuesday, a noticeable change in temperatures will occur during this period. The first drop back to around normal is by Wednesday and the one to 0-00 degrees below normal on Friday. The surface cold front over the Plains this morning will make very gradual progress into the area Tuesday evening. Overall forcing along this boundary is not impressive, especially for much or any thunder given marginal lapse rates. The speed of this boundary may be even slower than what guidance is indicating given the strength of the inherent ridge as well as the parent surface low being fairly weak in pressure (0000mb at 00Z Wed). The slightly better probability of some showers Tuesday afternoon and evening is west of I-00. Northwest winds behind the front on Tuesday night into Wednesday will bring a seasonable air mass into the area, with highs in the 00s for Wednesday and Thursday. Both of those midweek days look to be mainly sunny. As the upper ridge collapses, a modestly strong upper trough drops southeast into the Great Lakes on Friday. The associated cold front looks to be strengthening as it moves through, meaning breezy conditions on Friday, possibly with some showers along the front. Lake effect clouds look likely though do not see a strong enough signal for lake effect showers at this time. Highs look to dip to the mid to upper 00s for a good part of the CWA Friday and Saturday with a slight rebound into early next week. Similar aviation weather to the past several days is in store today. There will be some clouds -- few to scattered cumulus and some mid and high cloud -- but all VFR. A lake breeze will develop again and likely not arrive to ORD/MDW/GYY until after 00Z. Confidence in a lake breeze arriving at the airports is medium, and confidence is also medium in the forecast specific hour of arrival. A similar wind pattern will be seen over the lake today as in recent days, with an onshore lake breeze developing in the Illinois nearshore and to a lesser extent the Indiana nearshore. A cold front will move across the lake on Tuesday night turning winds northwest. Small craft criteria waves on Wednesday look probable for part of and maybe the entire northwest Indiana shore. A second stronger cold front, more typical of early autumn, will move southward across the lake late Thursday night into early Friday. This has potential for some gales over the open water depending on the low strength and exact track as it dives southeast over Ontario and Great Lakes region. | 2019-04-24T03:48:24Z | null | {

Hot on the heels of its First Quarter 0000 report last week, Facebook is hosting its F0 annual developer conference this week in San Francisco. There will be a lot for Mark Zuckerberg to talk about in his keynote as Facebook's Q0 report shows the company is taking a deep dive into driving its mobile revenues. - The daily active users (DAUs) were 000 million on average for March 0000, an increase of 00% year-over-year. - DAUs were 000 million on average for March 0000, an increase of 00% year-over-year. - Monthly active users (MAUs) were 0.00 billion as of March 00, 0000, an increase of 00% year-over-year. - Mobile MAUs were 0.00 billion as of March 00, 0000, an increase of 00% year-over-year. - Revenue from advertising was $0.00 billion, an 00% increase from the same quarter last year. - Mobile advertising revenue represented approximately 00% of advertising revenue for the first quarter of 0000, up from approximately 00% of advertising revenue in the first quarter of 0000. So it is needless to say, this week's developer centric event should be very interesting. If you are not in the San Francisco area, you can still experience the streaming video of the conference. | 2019-04-21T16:53:08Z | null | {

Mom was cooking breakfast and the morning sun was streaming in through the little window over the kitchen sink. Dad and Grandpa were talking by the kitchen table. Grandpa had the morning paper rolled up in his hand. Dad was doing things like putting silverware on the table, getting the orange juice out and handing Mom the potholders. The topics ranged from current news to other things like stories from Grandpa's days at the Bolenbaugh Hardware Store where Grandpa worked after retiring from the Railway Mail Service. Ordinarily, on a morning like this I would have been behind light blue light filtering curtains, peering out the picture window behind our table into our green grassy backyard through my Dad's Stellar Binoculars, elbows on the white windowsills, watching a robin tilt his head then pull pull pull a long earthworm out of the ground. Or watching the crows from the fields west of here - where the meadowlarks lived - sway and caw in the top of the giant sweet gum tree. But this was no ordinary morning. It was a Saturday morning, it was spring and it was the first of April. I was probably 0 and my sister Susan would have been 0. Susan and I were running around the kitchen having fun and trying out our April Fools pranks. It had been a recent and amazing discovery for us - this thing called April Fools Day. We'd learned that on this day it was perfectly ok to try to get someone to believe a bald faced lie! In fact it was not only permitted, it was encouraged! Young as we were, years of pent up dishonestly stirred within. Now all we needed was the words! What lie would you tell on such a perfect morning? No one was in trouble so far, no important heirlooms had been broken yet, and no intrigues were underway or even under consideration at the moment. For once dishonesty eluded us. Finally we hit upon a theme involving outlandish claims of exotic animals invading our backyard. "Grandpa! Grandpa! There's a big red elephant in the backyard!" I said. Not sure why the elephant had to be red. Bad sunburn? "April Fools!" We both yelled. Susan stayed on theme like a disciplined political campaign manager. "You do?" Grandpa asked more warily this time. He and Dad started talking about something else. He said it with such a quiet authority - like he knew a thing or two about those green dogs. As if this actually wasn't the first time he'd seen a green dog, you know, he'd seen them a few times before! He just felt a mild tinge of surprise because he wasn't really expecting to see one around here. Oh the layers of meaning in a Grandpa's voice! It overwhelmed my skepticism. "What! Where!?"I hollered as I ran to the kitchen window. This was serious! A green dog? I could not ever remember seeing such a creature in all my perusings of those unbearably heavy encyclopedias on the bottom bookshelf. A green cat yes, - the Burmese Green or whatever...it wasn't really all THAT green. If a Burmese Green cat had been running across the backyard, Grandpa would never make the mistake of calling it a dog! Against the green grass it probably wouldn't even look that green. Grandpa would have said something like "I see this brown cat. What an ugly feller." I could hardly focus enough to get my hands up to pull back the light blue curtains so I could see. My brain immediately ruled out the Burmese Cat thing...no no, we were probably about to discover a new species of dog! Curtains out of the way, I stared intently out the window into my backyard past the tire swing down into the garden, fully expecting to see a small green dog loping across the backyard. Where was it? And we knew we'd been had! By a real professional! Our esteem for Grandpa reached a new all time high. If we'd known about Oscars we would have nominated him until some judge in Hollywood issued a restraining order. | 2019-04-23T16:01:09Z | null | {

← Pan-Fried Striploin Steak with Kale, Avocado & Grapefruit Salad. Cut out and discard the kale stems; cut the leaves into 0-inch pieces. Transfer to a large salad bowl. Drizzle the kale with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Massage the kale with your hands until the leaves are evenly coated with the oil and begin to become more tender, 0 to 0 minutes. Set aside. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. While the skillet heats up, pat the steak dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the skillet is hot, add coconut oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Carefully place the steak in the skillet; flipping every 00 to 00 seconds, cook the steak until desired doneness (0 to 0 minutes for medium-rare). (Use a thermometer or cut into the steak to check the doneness.) Once done, transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for 0 to 00 minutes. Halve the avocado lengthwise and twist the halves to separate, then remove the pit with a knife or spoon; scoop out and large dice the avocado flesh into ¾-inch cubes. Add to the salad bowl with the kale. Slice off a piece from both grapefruit ends, then place it flat on one of the ends and slice off the peel (from top to bottom), exposing the flesh; cut out the segments of flesh from between the membranes, then cut them into ¾-inch pieces. Add the pieces (and any leftover juice) to the salad bowl. Toss the salad until well combined. Slice the steak against the grain into strips. To serve, divide the salad and steak between plates. Enjoy! | 2019-04-23T22:43:31Z | null | {

Sell Microsoft Surface Pro: Apple's iPad is still the most dominant tablet on the market, but it's been facing some stiff competition from other products such as the Microsoft Surface Pro. The Surface Pro is certainly more powerful than the iPad, but it still seems to lack the appeal of Apple's tablet. As powerful as the Surface Pro is, it is also much more expensive. It also has a less elegant design than the iPad Air, the display isn't as sharp and vibrant or the speakers on the iPad are just a little more powerful. As much as the Microsoft fans love their Surface Pros, the iPad just seems like the better machine overall. There is only one area where the Microsoft Surface Pro outshines the iPad, and that's inits productivity. As a Microsoft product, the Surface Pro was always capable of running a version of Microsoft Office, which has been the most widely used software suite for years. The iPad didn't have its own version of the iconic Office suite, and this has always held the tablet back in the eyes of many. However, that looks like it's become a thing of the past, because Microsoft just released a version of Office designed for the iPad this past Thursday, ending what may have been the longest period of anticipation in the history of iPad apps. If you're familiar with the Microsoft Office suite (and who isn't), you should know what to expect from the iPad version. It has almost all of the programs and features found in other recent versions, except everything seems to have been streamlined with the iPad's operating system and display. As with other current versions of Office, all of your work is saved to the cloud-based Microsoft OneDrive storage account. This means that you will be able to easily access files using other devices. The one major downside to Microsoft Office for the iPad is that there is no option to print files directly from the device itself. On the other hand, accessing a Word document or spreadsheet created on your iPad with another machine capable of printing isn't a difficult task. Now that Microsoft Office is available for the iPad, perhaps now would be a good time to invest in a brand new iPad. Even if you already have a Microsoft Surface Pro, you can always sell it to iGotOffer when it comes time for a new tablet. iGotOffer offers free shipping and competitive prices for used or even broken devices, and it could be exactly what you need to help you afford a new iPad Air 0 or the iPad 0 when it comes out. For more information about how you can get paid for a used iPad or any other Apple device, contact us online at iGotOffer.com. If you decide to sell your Microsoft Surface Pro, we are here to help! iGotOffer.com: the best place to sell my used Microsoft Surface Pro online. Top cash guaranteed. Free quote and free shipping.

Many of you are sad and angry but me am both but confident we are going to defeat those coward pigs who have opened a war and killed our people, they are going to see what NRM means in war.

ZTE, Huawei: Can China ever become a true innovation powerhouse? A Future Tense event. Will China's Scientists and Technologists Ever Be Truly Innovative? From left: Adam Segal, Denis Simon, Yifei Sun, and Steve LeVine. Just this week, a House of Representatives committee issued a report warning the United States against doing business with two major Chinese tech firms, ZTE and Huawei. The companies were closely tied to the Chinese government, the report said, and could be stealing information from the U.S. government and American businesses. In opening remarks, Steve LeVine, Washington correspondent for Quartz magazine and a Bernard L. Schwartz fellow, established the questions for the day: Can China ever become an "innovation juggernaut," just as it is a world leader in manufacturing? Does "innovation" have to mean breakthroughs, or is incremental innovation - small tweaks on Western-made technology to make it cheaper and sometimes better - enough? And should the rest of the world be worried? -Creativity isn't encouraged: Segal argued that while we focus on the "hardware" - the more tangible results of innovation, like patents filed - China needs to focus on the "software" problems of culture. In China, researchers aren't urged to think creatively, nor do they feel free to fail. "No risk, no reward" may be a cliché, but it is also a truism. -Quantity is valued over quality: According to Huang, the number of journal articles published by Chinese researchers has exploded in recent years. But outside of the life sciences and biology, the level of impact from this research has remained fairly flat - indicating that the research is not high-quality. In part, this may be because researchers are paid per publication, so repetitive research and short-term work is incentivized. -Intellectual property rights are not respected: Since patents and copyrights are frequently violated, there is less incentive to create. China's leadership understands all of these things, said Segal. In fact, they have probably visited Silicon Valley "more than anyone," he joked. Accordingly, China's 0000 mid- to long-term plan for science and technology development emphasized the need for better intellectual property protection, for startup culture. But politically, introducing these elements will be very difficult - especially, as Simon noted, because the politicians have other significant worries on their minds, like domestic protests. Still, they understand that the "transition to a knowledge economy" is critical, and accordingly they want to be the No. 0 or No. 0 country in the world for innovation by 0000 - China's centennial. That's one reason why they are expanding investment into R&D, going from 0 percent of GDP for a long time to 0 percent of GDP in 0000. But China isn't doing this only for financial reasons, according to Segal - the country also wants not to have to depend on the West for its technological and scientific needs. There are some positive signs here for China. For instance, Simon said that more and more research funding is coming in at the local level, not from the national government - a "systemic change," he termed it. And while many Western companies opened their research labs in China initially because the government effectively made it a condition for selling goods in the country, said Sun, they are increasingly producing interesting work. No breakthroughs yet, he acknowledged, but they may come soon. China's most successful fields - nanotechnology, life sciences, biology - are those that have been open to international collaboration.

Altius, an artificial turf brand was already having a strong market presence and had an existing logo. A general discussion and we were asked to redefine the corporate identity in our house style. Our job was extremely challenging as we had to start afresh yet with an existing logo in the backdrop. Considering the brand name and essence we came up with a more befitting corporate identity as opposed to the existing logo, which for us was not so relevant for Altius. | 2019-04-26T06:12:07Z | null | {

Babcock International group have been proactively running a long-term programme to encourage more females into engineering. We have over 000 STEM Ambassadors on this one site in Plymouth alone (over a third of the total in all of Devon and Cornwall) and we have formed over 00 special relationships with local primary and secondary schools, delivering over 000 hours of fun, hands-on workshops every month. These workshops are aligned to the curriculum and against an agreed forward-looking programme with each school. These have the single aim to inspire more young people into STEM qualifications and STEM careers. Critical to this programme is working with primary school children, particularly girls, to break down stereotypes and debunk myths. We know from research that young people will opt for the subjects they enjoy so we want to make science and maths fun. For example, we have run ‘monster brush' workshops as a fun way of learning about electrical circuits, and these have engaged over 0,000 local primary school children. Approximately 00% of the total STEM ambassadors are apprentices or have gone through the apprenticeship programme, and they are all fantastic role models as they are knowledgeable, inspiring and show real examples of women working on engineering. The apprentice manager, Chris Allen, has been leading an active programme to support schools, including an extensive work experience programme for over seventy students per year. They also support National Apprenticeship Week, which reaches thousands of local students, and in 0000 the campaign supported over thirty local careers fairs. We employ over 000 engineering apprentices every year in Plymouth and have seen the number of female job offers steadily increase. Female apprentice intake increased from 0% in 0000 to 0% in 0000 - a 000% increase and double the national norm for the sector! This year nearly 00% of our candidate applications are from females and this number has been growing year on year. We learnt that family members' opinions often put girls off applying for engineering. Continuing to grow our STEM programme and actively supporting school career fairs, open days, interview skills etc. will help to breakdown these misconceptions. Are you happy to receive further updates on the Apprenticeship Toolkit and relevant events? Would you like to subscribe to WISE News and Focus on Talent? | 2019-04-23T16:02:52Z | null | {

Herbert Hoover in 0000. The Eisenhower administration started at a rather awkward time, both politically and economically. First of all there was a war on. The Korean War had begun in June of 0000 and was still waging. As was usual for wartime the country was economically prosperous. However, the war had caused President Truman to abandon his former restraints on government spending. The amount of money being spent on defense skyrocketed to supply the troops in Korea with the supplies they needed. The problem at hand is the rising rate of unemployment. This problem must be dealt with immediately with strong actions. I suggest implementing federal public works projects as a way of creating jobs without burdening the government with additional expenses. Ideas for these public works projects are: the construction of a Saint Lawrence Seaway, and an Interstate Highway System. This system would be a massive undertaking and would be one of the largest construction projects of all time but it would create many jobs for Americans who are no longer employed by the war effort (Branyan and Larsen, 000). President Obama was in office for less than a month when the February 0000 jobs report reported some brutal news: The U.S. economy had lost a whopping 000,000 jobs and the unemployment rate was 0.0 percent. Officially, the Great Recession began in December 0000 and ended in June 0000. At its depths, the unemployment rate hit 00 percent. | 2019-04-21T18:03:06Z | null | {

I imagine most of us already do all these, but it's a good list to share with someone you want to turn onto frugality! An awesome list indeed Redfox! I like to look at important lists such as these as if they are bibles of sorts, bibles for the homemaker. Great guidance reminders they are and superb teachers to those not yet practicing simple/frugal living. We have been experimenting with using less and less soap. I am surprised how little soap still gives you a lot of suds, except when washing undergarments, oils must decrease the amount of suds. My wife likes the suds...except most of the time it requires a 0nd rinse to get rid of all the soap... I also have been cutting the fabric softner sheets in half (and the cheapo brand) and it still seems to go a good job. | 2019-04-21T02:48:33Z | null | {

My name is Frans Hooijmans, 00 years old and I am currently working as an intern at the WRT. This internship is part of my study Geo Media & Design at the HAS University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands. I chose to do my internship in New-Zealand because of its varied nature and environment. When I arrived on Waiheke Island I was directly very impressed. It has a scenery and strong community that's really unique that I haven't experienced before. The WRT plays an important role in this by helping the Waiheke community with living sustainable and to keep the island as beautiful as it is now. It is great to be part of that and it will allow me to gain valuable experiences. Living and working on Waiheke Island have been a great experience for me. The island is beautiful and has a really nice community. The WRT is an lovely place to work with a great staff, they do great work for sustainability and the environment on Waiheke. During my internship I got involved in various WRT projects which was very exciting. I had a great time during my internship at WRT and want to thank the staff for that. | 2019-04-21T00:39:37Z | null | {

Still often sold as Cotoneaster microphyllus 'Cooperi' or C. cooperi the correct name is C. 'Queen of Carpets'. Be that as it may this low, tight ground-hugging shrub is ideal for rockeries where it will sculpt itself around the stones. The petite, dark evergreen leaves form a great back-drop to the diminutive white flowers and, later, bright red berries. As with most of its relatives, this cotoneaster is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions including tough urban soils and, once established, it will tolerate a reasonable amount of drought. This groundcover cotoneaster grows best in well drained soil, but it will tolerate sandy soil and clay. It will form a dense carpet in full sun, but still give good coverage in light or open shade. Provide occasional watering to keep it looking its best during dry weather. Almost no pruning is necessary to maintain its low, tight habit. | 2019-04-25T03:58:29Z | null | {

To set the stage, in the preceding first three verses of 0 Kings 00, we are told that Ahab has reported to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and specifically that Elijah killed all the pagan prophets with the sword. Jezebel's response is to send a messenger to Elijah with a death threat that she vows will be fulfilled in one day. Elijah is afraid, flees for his life, and goes to Beersheba. 0 Kings 00:0 reminds us that Beersheba is under Judah's control, which means that legally, it is beyond Jezebel's reach. Elijah's words have been understood in at least two ways: first, that he is referring to his dead ancestors and wishes to join them in death, and second, that he is referring to his "ancestors" in the prophetic vocation, and specifically Moses, who also complained in the wilderness and asked the Lord if he could die. That is, Elijah is no better than his prophetic predecessors, who also had heavy burdens they had to bear on their own. Even if Elijah's reason is not entirely clear, that latter clause is conditioned by the first. Elijah is overwhelmed, and death is preferable to what he faces, to what he must do, to his tasks. After making his request, Elijah lies down and sleeps under the bush, but his sleep is interrupted by the touch of an angel who commands him to rise and eat. The Hebrew word for angel, mal'ak, is the same word for messenger used in verse 0, when a mal'ak was sent with Jezebel's death threat. Thus, there is some narrative tension with this first appearance of the angel. It is not until the mal'ak comes to Elijah "a second time" that the text specifies this is an angel of the Lord, and the tension is relieved. After Elijah eats and drinks the first time, he lies down again, and once again, an angel touches him and commands him to rise and eat. During this second encounter, the angel explains the reason why Elijah must eat, "because the way is too much for you." The Hebrew points us back to Elijah's complaint in verse 0 that it was "too much" (rab), when the angel uses the same language in his frank assessment of what lies ahead. Elijah has had rab (verse 0), but he is sent on a way that is also rab for him (verse 0). Many interpreters of this text see Elijah as discouraged, suffering burnout from his ministerial (or prophetic) duties, or even exhibiting signs of depression. What Elijah receives are practical, tangible provisions that enable him to go "in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights". What is given, then, is sufficient and strengthening. Certainly, the bread of Jesus gives us strength for the journeys in our lives, however difficult or overwhelming they may be. | 2019-04-24T09:07:27Z | null | {

I have had the opportunity to review quite a number of desi (Indian Writing in English) works by first time authors in the recent past.While some of them had been really good,the majority of them were either passable or slightly above average works.So,when I got this new book to review from the wonderful people at 'Think Why Not',quite naturally I was expecting the book to fall into either of the above categories. ' The Thugs and a Courtesan' is a difficult book to review.The author has attempted to pen a historical fiction with the 'thug culture' as it's backdrop. Set in the 00 th century India,the book traces the journey of a thug/nomad (left to the reader's discretion)named Firangia and in the process gives a bird's eye view of life in pre-British India.In the course of the journey,he fights,romances,imbibes virtues and protects his fellow men.Well,that's all what I remember as far as the basic plot of the book is concerned.There are many sub-plots woven into the narrative with some of them being cute and short love stories. The book has got a novel premise and the writer deserves applause for trying something like this in her debut work.The mystery surrounding Chanda Bhai's character has come out really well.But as it's often said,good ideas don't necessarily translate to blockbusters. The basic problem of this book is that it's too confusing.There are far too many poorly written characters (even the protagonist is not well etched out),innumerable sub plots with absolutely no connection to the central plot and the story loses focus in more than a couple of occasions.What makes the matters even worse is the manner in which the story is told.The writing is way over the top and at times too self-indulgent.A 'heavy' subject like this would have worked big time had the author resorted to a somewhat 'light' treatment.In short,'Thugs and a ....' is not an easy read by any stretch of imagination. Verdict: On the whole,'The Thugs and a Courtesan' belongs to the 'could have been better' category.Rating- 0/0. PS: I would like to thank the wonderful people at 'Think Why Not' for sending me a review copy of this book. and I was kind of interested in the book. | 2019-04-20T02:41:01Z | null | {

How to Reboot the Global Economy? One of the biggest challenges facing the world today is one that ties into many of the other discussions taking place in Davos. The migration crisis, inequality, the gender gap, sustainable development and how to transition to a low-carbon economy - they will all be near impossible to achieve without robust economic growth. The obstacles to this are mounting. Growth is slowing in China (as discussed in another Davos session this morning, which you can re-watch here), the IMF has again reduced its global growth forecasts, and PwC's Annual Global CEO Survey found that just 00% of business leaders think growth will improve this year. Head of the IMF Christine Lagarde has called it the "new mediocre", but could it be worse? This is a topic we've explored in detail on Agenda. And if growth does get back on track, will it be inclusive, and why is this important? On the subject of Nobel economists, four of them have shared with us their biggest economic challenges for 0000. How to manage risk, sluggish productivity, deteriorating patterns of growth, relocating refugees all featured. What else keeps leading economists up at night? Meanwhile, Enda Kenny, Taoiseach of Ireland and also a panel member, laid out his 0-point plan to manage Ireland's recovery. The Celtic nation has come a long way since the dramatic shocks of 0000, and is now the fastest growing economy in Europe. Can it keep going? The first question is for Brazil's Finance Minister, Nelson Henrique Barbosa-Filho. With Brazil forecast to contract again, is contraction the new normal? No, says Barbosa-Filho. What we are witnessing now is just a transitional phase. Brazil, like many emerging nations, is merely adjusting to a global situation. Brazil benefited from a global commodities boom which reduced poverty and improved productivity. This stage has passed, and we need to prepare for a new phase for the global economy. China is also in a period of transformation. Fifteen percent of global economic output comes from China, is this something we should be worried about? Zhang Xin says she is concerned, but not because the Chinese economy is in danger of collapsing, but because of the transition from fast to slower growth. To many countries, China's growth of 0.0% for 0000 would be considered "very nice," but the world's second largest economy is different, says Zhang. Basically, it's used to it being higher. Austerity measures in Europe, and the small doses of it in the US, are a major contributing factor to the weak global economy, says Stiglitz. The underlying problem, however, is a lack of aggregate demand, a lack of global demand. What's are the factors contributing to this? Growing inequality is one. Those at the top don't have to spend as much of their income as those at the bottom, who are spending 000% of their income just getting through their daily life. Meanwhile, countries all over the world are undergoing a structural transformation. This is a hard process, and it almost never happens smoothly. Kenny says his country should be the model for how others can emerge from a desperate economic situation. Part of this is giving young people hope. Is GDP a reliable measure of growth? Not according to Joseph Stiglitz. Stiglitz also says he admires Bhutan, which measures what it calls "Gross National Happiness". GDP fails as a measure in other areas, too. For example, if we have a planet that is being polluted to the point that our lives are at risk, then what good is GDP? And while GDP has increased every year in the US since 0000, most Americans are worse off than they were a third of a century ago. The benefits are going to the top while wages at the bottom are lower than they were 00 years ago (adjusted for inflation). What is the outlook for oil producing nations? "There is a phenomena called the ‘natural resources curse'", says Stiglitz. Having them doesn't necessarily guarantee success. Indeed, some countries with a lot of natural resources are not doing well, while others who don't have any, like Switzerland, are flourishing because they are diversifying and strengthening human resources. How can governments catalyse growth? It's about investing in people, says Kenny. "An economy is an engine," he adds, "and it's an engine that can provide resources to invest in people." But countries do have to manage their public finances prudently, allowing them to make better decisions. The circumstances in each country are different, says Stiglitz, but in the US reforming the tax system would be a good start. The current system is regressive, he says, while the US has also underinvested in infrastructure for far too long. The US can borrow at almost no cost, so why doesn't it do it? The social returns could be enormous. The government also has to take a leading role in promoting technology. Virtually all the important innovations we benefit from, such as the web browser, were based on government research. China, meanwhile, is very different. "We're actually calling for the government to do less," says Zhang. It's a country where the government owns half the economy, and it needs to reduce its involvement. In China, says Zhang, the days or finishing your degree and working for an established company are half gone. Now many people are starting their own business or joining a start-up. But while innovations are exciting, says Stiglitz, the rate of productivity has slowed down, despite advances in tech. If those people who lose their jobs in the Fourth Industrial Revolution can find a new one, then it may be a smooth transition. But without the government, it won't necessarily lead to more jobs. Is greater taxation the answer? Stiglitz agrees "000%" with the suggestion that we need to deal with people and companies that aren't paying enough tax. "The most important social responsibility is to pay your taxes," he believes. Every downturn will eventually end, concludes Stiglitz. The question is, how many broken bones will there be? | 2019-04-19T22:15:18Z | null | {

An Interview with Robin D. Laws; Writer, Editor and Role Playing Game Designer. Robin, your work on games and fiction spans decades and genres -Talislanta, Star Trek, Earth Dawn, Warhammer, as well as your own systems Rune, The Dying Earth, Over the Edge, Feng Shui, the Gumshoe System, the DramaSystem and more. Your career with role playing games is among the most distinguished in an industry that has seen many changes. What advice might you have for designers and writers today to find good partner companies, and to become successfully established? R: There's a paradox inherent in asking people who've been successful for a while about their career paths. In any creative field the trick is to spot a you-sized hole and then fill it before someone else does. That spot isn't there anymore because the person you want to emulate has already filled it. Also, things have changed enormously since I started in the early 00s. That said, what I would advise is to get involved in online communities and hopefully finally in face-to-face interaction with the games and companies that excite you. Making sure that you work with good partner companies is a matter of doing a little bit of behind the scenes sleuthing to discover stuff like how far behind a company is in its production schedule, whether they pay freelancers on time, how pleasant they are to work with, and so forth. There's really no substitute for going to Gen Con and leveraging the profile that you built with your online activities to earn face time. If I already kind of know you from the cool stuff you've written about my games, you're going to make a bigger impression on me than if you're approaching me cold and I can't tell how much you know about the lines I work on. Of course, face to face contact gives the people you're meeting the opportunity to evaluate you, as well, so you have to make sure that you present yourself as together and personable and fun to be around. When you do get work, be on time, hit the specs you're given, and require as little prose editing as possible. Having great ideas is important too but the power of reliably delivering quality work on time can't be underestimated. I've been enjoying listening to your podcast with the excellent Kenneth Hite: Ken and Robin Talk about Stuff. You often discuss film and fiction as well as games. Your notes from film festivals are particularly fun to listen to! Narrative structure seems central to your approach to game design, as shown by Hamlet's Hit Points and the DramaSystem. What led to this, and how has it shaped your designs over the years? R: I thought of myself as a writer from a very young age, but never considered gaming as an outlet for my work until fairly late, when I kind of fell into it backwards. Originally I thought that I was going to be a playwright. Although I've always been analytical about story my sensibility is as much a literary or art-house perspective as it is rooted in geek culture. When I first started out it seemed liked there was a big unexplored territory in looking at the way narrative is constructed in other forms and applying those techniques to role-playing games. That's why for example Feng Shui is an emulative, not simulative, game. It's more interested in modeling the way action movies present themselves than in caring about the real world effects of things like gun calibers or body armor. In hindsight emulation seems like a pretty obvious approach but at the time it was very much running against the tide of the simulative of wave of games that preceded it. The interest in Hong Kong movies in particular came out of my festival going because the Toronto film festival (then called the Festival of Festivals) was one of the first to highlight those movies for a western audience. So, just ahead of the curve, I got to see something that I knew would become a geek favorite genre before it hit, a result of the cross-pollination of high and pop culture. Throughout your career, you've also examined how role playing games work. Back in 0000, your essay "The Hidden Art: Slouching Towards A Critical Framework for RPGs," was a call to arms for players, designers and GMs to look critically at rpgs as a new artform. In the 00 years since then a lot of pixels have been burned talking about rpgs. You've made influential contributions, such as Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering and the insights in Hamlet's Hitpoints. What concepts and ideas of others do you find have contributed to play and design? R: Criticism by gamers can fall into the trap of not being descriptive but rather proscriptive. A lot of critiques really operate as disguised manifestos for the writer's preferred play style or design focus. The things I most value work to find a vocabulary to refine and spread practical play techniques in a way that makes game sessions better. So for example whoever* nailed down the concept of failing forward in its RPG sense deserves a huge amount of gratitude on the part of gamerdom. [NB: Here is a nice summary of Failing Forward.] But I have to admit that I don't spend a ton of time following role-playing criticism. This is a comment not on its importance but on the ever-escalating time demands facing a full-time freelance creator in today's incessantly connected environment. *R: The Twitter hivemind can't quite agree and I am loath to misattribute. In your 0000 essay, you made some predictions that have come true: Jungian game analysis is actually being done by Sarah Lynne Bowman and Whitney Beltrán; the issue of how game mechanics affect the narrative in a game has been a well-traveled path in indie game design; and the ghost of Goethe's three questions for the art critic (What is the artist trying to do? How well is it done? Was it worth doing?) haunts Jared Sorenson, Luke Crane and John Wick's Big Three (or four) Questions about game design: (What is your game about? How is your game about that? What behavior does your game encourage or reward? and How do you make this fun?). Are there other elements of "The Hidden Art" that you'd like to see followed up, or new directions you think we could go today? R: In the early days of any new form or movement the artists and the critics are often the same people. This is because if you're doing something new the people making the new thing are the only ones qualified to form a vocabulary around it. For example when Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and their circle were creating bebop they had to come up with a new iteration of jazz talk in order to discuss it with each other. In a mature field you need and want a distance between the practitioner and the critic. We're starting to see that happen with people coming at tabletop from an academic point of view. This is a maturation I'm happy to see, so we're getting more than people trying to either justify their game designs or to confer legitimacy on their preferred play style. When I wrote that essay that wasn't really happening: its point was to predict and encourage it. Now that it is happening it would be self-contradictory of me as a practitioner to tell the new wave of academics what to look at. Though if someone wants to be the Northrop Frye of interactive narrative I'm down with that. What conventions, festivals or online communities do you most enjoy? Which are your favorite for discussion of games and game design? R: I go to Gen Con and Dragonmeet every year. As I don't need to tell you, being a guest at a mid-scale European con has much to recommend it. I don't spend a lot of time online discussing games and game design. My main outlet for that sort of thing is the podcast discussions I have with Ken every week. Robin D. Laws designed the GUMSHOE investigative roleplaying system, including such games as The Esoterrorists and Ashen Stars. Among his other acclaimed RPG credits are Feng Shui and HeroQuest. Robin is the Creative Director of Stone Skin Press and has edited such fiction anthologies as The New Hero, Shotguns v. Cthulhu, and The Lion and the Aardvark: Aesop's New Fables. You can hear more of Robin's thoughts and game insights at his podcast with Kenneth Hite: Ken and Robin Talk about Stuff. | 2019-04-19T04:29:26Z | null | {

We want to fuel a technology service revolution which advocates for the pursuit of delivering high-quality service and meaningful results. We believe in high-quality, environmentally friendly, socially conscious products, services and technology repair solutions. We believe in helping people understand their technology and overcome technophobias; to inform, educate and assist others with all aspects of their technology. From our inception, TEKEASE has provided an alternative to the prevailing big-box computer stores and unqualified independents. We have all observed the rise and fall of these big-box brands due to low-quality, low-service and low-cost methods of operation. TEKEASE promotes a high-quality, high-service ethic. Our technical training and approach to resolving technology problems with consistency is unsurpassed. Should You Affiliate with Us or Buy A Computer Repair Franchise? There is power and safety in numbers! While franchising has proven to be an excellent expansion model for some types of businesses, it simply doesn't work well in technology. Implementing technology well, or producing expected results for clients isn't as simple as making a burger. TEKEASE is not a franchise computer repair business and it never will be. We carefully considered the franchise business model, but discovered franchise computer repair operations don't scale well. Most importantly, we determined franchising was simply inconsistent with our primary mission. Franchisees are often led down the primrose path to endless debt, frustration and often disappointment. The community of TEKEASE affiliates constitutes an association of highly qualified technology practitioners dedicated to delivering consistent and predictable technology solutions under the TEKEASE name. Affiliates work in a collaborative working environment. Affiliates rely on and lean on each other, not corporate. The fact is, most people go into business on their own to become the boss...not to have a new one. Today, our affiliates see ourselves as part of a multi-front industry war. The war has many opponents: the low-quality big-box stores, the manufacturers which pander to big-box brands, and that millions of independents who operate with no standards, no insurance, no training. TEKEASE has revolutionized the idea of delivering high-quality, high-service technology solutions without the high cost of purchasing a franchise or association with some buying group which provides nothing more than a list of vendors. TEKEASE affiliation is an internet-based, grassroots movement started by TEKEASE ("techies") who want to own their own local TEKEASE operation to support their client's and communities. It is a call to those techies who want to make technology easy for consumers and small business owners alike. Getting started is easy, write us an essay (application), license a name, set up a website, send us photos of your operation and you will become part of a new community of TEKEASE affiliates. Affiliation with TEKEASE is easy. Complete the Request for Affiliate Information form below. Once accepted you will receive official notification and your TEKEASE Affiliate Badge. There are currently three TEKEASE Affiliate Levels. Affiliation levels are based upon the method of business operation the Affiliate engages in. TEKEASE Affiliates are independent business owners and licensees of the TEKEASE brand name. The annual fee to Affiliate with TEKEASE ranges from $0000 to $00,000 per Affiliate location. Access to TEKEASE Training and Certification Programs. Affiliate Network to Support Marketing Efforts. Ability to grow your professional network with other affiliates to share knowledge. A successful TEKEASE affiliate is operated by someone who loves technology and thrilling people. They must be goal and role-oriented and tenacious. The TEKEASE affiliate operates their own computer repair business, their own way. We provide the TEKEASE training programs to give the affiliate knowledge of TEKEASE methods. The TEKEASE affiliate program is designed for experienced technology professionals. Unlike a computer repair franchise system, we are not a no experience required program. Only affiliates committed to being involved in the program on a day to day basis will be considered. While TEKEASE provides certified affiliate training, the affiliate should come with some technical background. This information is not intended as an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy a franchise. It is for informational purposes only. | 2019-04-22T14:45:50Z | null | {

After two months of discovering the joys of FF games I've never played before, it's back to one of my recent favorites, Final Fantasy III. I and my iPad fell in love with this game last year, thanks to the remaster graphics that melted my cynical Grinch heart and won me over with the Power of Cute. Once you start down the chibi path, forever will it dominate your destiny. I have to say: Luneth, Ingus, WTF? I don't recall any particular friction between these two characters in the actual game. Guess I'd better pay more attention. Nonetheless, I love this FMV for all the Final Fantasy Nostalgasm imagery rendered so magnficently: airship, chocobos, characters who like each other (this makes me happy), Behemoth, Aerith praying, the crystal, some of Uematsu's glorious music,* and for once some actual costume changes, thanks to the Job System, giving us updated 0D renderings of some of FF's original character classes: white mage, red mage, black mage, fighter. Most of all I love Arc with his nose buried in his books, studying, and that simple image of the party doing party things in camp, which FF games seldom show. *As a matter of fact, I first saw this FMV projected behind a live Distant Worlds concert performed by the San Diego Orchestra. Yay! All right. I'm starting to get into recap mode when I haven't got my recap together. Hang on, we're in for an ADORKABLE journey! This entry was originally posted at http://auronlu.dreamwidth.org/000000.html, where it has comments. I think the iPad version isn't quite as bad; all the healing items are available in shops except for Phoenix Downs (which can only be stolen from one monster, grrr). The saving grace is that there are "Revive" pools and "Restore HP/MP" pools that will resuscitate your characters for free in many of the towns and castles. The trick is finding them and remembering where they are. Here's a list of their locations. Plus, after a short time, you get White Magic including Life so you're not quite so dependent on items. I remember being a little frustrated in the beginning, but it ceased to be a problem fairly soon in the game. There's a 0MP-cost Geomancer random "heal everyone in the party lots!" spell that I relied upon in the middle game until my White Mage racked up so many MP that he could Arise anybody. P.S. also WHAT is going on up there? Is that Giant Auron stomping on Chibi Auron? Hahahaha. | 2019-04-19T19:21:21Z | null | {

Unless you've been frozen for a while and just got dethawed like Han Solo, you probably know that YouTube and Facebook are a pretty big deal - especially for videos. Here's some helpful information about the Facebook videos and YouTube videos. YouTube is 00.0x larger than Facebook. However, Facebook video viewers are quicker to engage. Natively uploaded Facebook videos have ten times higher reach compared to copying and pasting a YouTube video link in a Facebook post. YouTube videos are the standard video hosting platform to embed videos on websites. YouTube videos are more searchable because of Google's integration. However, Facebook video viewers tend to share videos more frequently than YouTube viewers. So, that's all fine and dandy, but what does that mean? It means you ought to use both platforms, but have a strategy for how to reach your audience with these platforms. For example, is your strategy to reach millennial males who like to skateboard? Or, is your strategy to go national with your product? You must start with your goal first and then work towards it. With video marketing, it isn't always better to throw money and hope your video goes viral. Viral is okay for certain situations. For the majority, going after qualified, warm leads is what we encourage. We always encourage our clients to upload their videos on YouTube to then post on their website, and post the same videos natively in Facebook. From there, they can run specific ads to various groups of people, gender, habits, interests, and more. Now with the integration of YouTube ads into YouTube videos, customers can now run ads on YouTube as well. Yes, this can be annoying for some, but it is another way to reach your audience with your products and services. For more information about JL Video and how you can get started inspiring your audience with videos, please visit us online or call us for a free consultation. Thanks for watching and we'll see you soon! | 2019-04-20T10:58:24Z | null | {

If you want to file for either Chapter 0 or Chapter 00 bankruptcy protection in North Carolina, it's important to understand that the bankruptcy laws have changed and you now must earn two bankruptcy certificates before your debts can be discharged. Why Do You Need the Certificates? Bankruptcy certificates are now a requirement under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 0000. They are a simple way to help make sure you receive the proper education about the bankruptcy process. The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act was officially signed into law on April 00, 0000. It was the largest change to bankruptcy law since its origination in 0000. The major purpose of the legislation was to prevent people from filing fraudulent bankruptcies. When you do some research about these courses, you'll notice that most states require the classes to be approved by the U.S. Trustee Program. This is not true for North Carolina bankruptcy law. North Carolina does not fall under the U.S. Trustee Program and that means that you must find bankruptcy education courses that are approved by bankruptcy administrators. Bankruptcy administrators approve and keep a current list of approved credit counseling agencies and debtor education providers in their districts. You can access that information here. When you are looking to find the most up-to-date list of approved bankruptcy education providers in North Carolina, simply contact the bankruptcy administrator in the district you live in. For your convenience, many agencies offer both the pre-filing credit counseling course and the debtor education course. If you choose one of the agencies approved to provide both, you should be aware that the courses cannot be taken at the same time. You still have to take the credit counseling course before filing for bankruptcy protection and the debtor education course after filing for bankruptcy. This course can be taken from the comfort of your own home, which makes it extremely accommodating. Choose to complete the course online or over the telephone. Once you complete the course, you will receive a certification of participation from the agency. You will then provide your local North Carolina bankruptcy attorney with the certificate and proceed with the filing process. This course can also be taken online or over the phone. Once completed, you will be issued a certificate of completion that will allow the bankruptcy discharge process to proceed. In order to be successful when filing for bankruptcy protection in North Carolina, you must obtain both bankruptcy certificates from approved agencies. So, if you are thinking about filing Chapter 0 or Chapter 00 bankruptcy, speak with a trusted NC bankruptcy lawyer today and take the first steps toward a new financial beginning. | 2019-04-19T16:54:59Z | null | {

The link between demographic pressure and economic conditions in pre-Famine Ireland has long interested economists. This paper re-visits the topic, harnessing the highly disaggregated parish-level data from the 0000 Census of Ireland. Using population per value adjusted acre as a measure of population pressure, our results indicate that on the eve of the Great Famine of 0000-00, population pressure was positively associated with both illiteracy rates and the prevalence of poor quality housing. But while our analysis shows that population pressure was one of the primary factors underpinning pre-Famine poverty, it also highlights the importance of geography and human agency. A counterfactual computation indicates that had Ireland's population stayed at its 0000 level, this would have led to only modest improvements in literacy and housing.

This post commemorates the third year of the life of Garibaldi Rous, World's Silliest Capybara. I think you can see that he earned that title by looking at the photo above. Gari the Clown whose superpower was rolling, and rolling, and rolling. Today would have been Garibaldi (Gari) Rous' eighth birthday. It's a day to take some time to remember him. For those of you who weren't following the blog then, I hope you will look back to the posts between Jan. 0000 through Feb. 0000, the short time that Gari lived with me. It has been two weeks since Garibaldi Rous died so I guess I'd better get on with it and write his eulogy. Monday, March 00th would have been Gari's 0th birthday. I knew he was very sick but somehow I always thought he would make it to that day. Humans often die right after their birthdays, holding on until the milestone is met and then surrendering to the inevitable. I guess since capybaras don't know when their birthday is, they don't do that. It is with the greatest sadness and pain that I am writting this short post to let you know that Garibaldi Rous died on Sunday, Feb. 00th, just shy of his fourth birthday. | 2019-04-26T04:55:27Z | null | {

Preparing Millennials and Generation Z students to enter the print industry workforce requires a strong understanding of shifting trends. Thaddeus Stevens College (TSC), in Lancaster, Pa., is very much aware of this fact. At TSC, a residential, two-year, accredited technical institution, individuals in the Graphic Communications and Printing Technology program learn the skills needed for positions in layout and design, copy preparation, desktop publishing, film assembly and plate processing, direct-to-plate applications, press operations, and bindery operations. In a new case study published by PressWise, the administrative team of the print technology program discusses how developing an in-depth knowledge of the print management software, PressWise, has become an integral part of their program. The PressWise MIS software is used to create more of a real-world learning environment, where it is used to run an in-house print facility that is managed and run by second-year students. In the case study TSC shares examples of how this hands-on approach to technology has increased the engagement and interest of their students as part of a production-based education. Because of PressWise, TSC can bring a new set of skills into the classroom to best prepare and motivate students for the ever-evolving print industry. PressWise by SmartSoft will be exhibiting in booth #000 at Dscoop Edge in Orlando Fla., March 00 - 00. To find out more about PressWise, read the TSC case study, or to schedule a one-on-one product demo at Dscoop, please visit www.PressWise.com. | 2019-04-25T09:51:47Z | null | {

The MB motor pump is a single-stage, normal-priming centrifugal pump in block design with horizontal axis. The MB pump has an open impeller for low-viscosity, acid and alkaline solutions with low solid matter content. The pump head assembly consists of high-quality plastic materials with hydraulically efficient spiral casing. BN-type motor pump units are normal-priming, single-stage, plastic centrifugal pumps in block design with horizontal axis. Their dimensions and flow rates mainly correspond to DIN/EN 00000. The extended shaft of the drive motors directly carries the impeller. The pump head is flanged to the drive motor using an intermediate piece. N-type standard pumps are normal-priming, single-stage, plastic centrifugal pumps with horizontal axis. Their dimensions and flow rates correspond to DIN/EN 00000. The standard use of extension coupling ensures simple dismantling of bearing supports and internal pump components without removing the pipe connections and motor. This avoids laborious alignment of the pump and motor when assembling the system. VTP centrifugal pumps in block design (BBF) correspond to the system of two-pipe pumps. Basically these immersion pumps are single-level immersion pumps with vertical axis the main components of which are combined according to the proven module system. The drive motor is located in the dry section above the fastening plate. The pump head is immersed in the medium. Lutz-JESCO America Corp's CENTRAN TMP pumps are magnetically driven pumps, designed to meet the continuous demands of the marktplace. CENTRAN TMP pumps are centrifugal, horizontal axis, and close-coupled with the bodies built entirely of reinforced thermoplastic polymers. The internal components are ceramic oxides, HD carbon, and fluorinated elastomers which means any contact of metallic parts with the pumped fluid is avoided. Lutz-JESCO America Corp's CENTRAN TMB is a single stage, magnetically driven transfer pump with centrifugal impeller. TMB pumps includes five sizes that deliver flows from 0.00 to 00.00 gpm. The pump is made entirely of thermoplastics with outstanding chemical and mechanical resistance. The spindle is made of ceramic, the bearings are reinforced PTFE and the o-ring gasket is made of FKM. Leakage problems are eliminated since a drive magnet on the outside of the casing drives the magnetic impeller inside the hermetic casing. Lutz-JESCO America Corporation's CENTRAN G0 is a large, innovative pump that utilizes the patented "bi-directional, self-alignment system," allowing for greatly reduced friction. This allows the pump to run dry for a longer period of time. Lutz-JESCO America Corporation's CENTRAN G0, a larger version of the CENTRAN G0, also offers the patented "bi-directional, self-alignment system," allowing dry run operation for extended periods without damaging the pump. | 2019-04-20T02:17:14Z | null | {

Every homeowner considers renovating their bathroom at some point. With a bathroom remodel, you can easily overspend and easily overdo it. You need to set a realistic budget before you start. Here, we will provide bathroom renovation tips covering upgrades that are expensive and unnecessary. So, you invest in a fancy whirlpool but use it only ever so often. It sounds like a great idea to relieve stress and aches and pains. Yet whirlpool bathtubs are expensive, not to mention noisy and prone to developing mold. They can harbor bacteria and other pathogens as well. Therefore, a whirlpool is not a wise financial investment and should not be your main focus when considering bathroom tub and shower replacement. Aside from bathroom tub replacement, another area where people overspend is flooring. Marble equals luxury, and luxury equals high costs. However, marble tends to be slippery and cold to walk on. It is porous and, thus, susceptible to staining. Accidentally spill a beauty product, and you can ruin your floor. Along with its costs, marble is also difficult to maintain. Heated flooring is one of those new bathroom trends that might not yield the return you expected. Sure, it can be convenient on a chilly morning - but think about the need to rip up your existing floor, re-route plumbing, and deal with noisy, messy, and expensive construction. The extra heat can increase the demand on your cooling system. On the other hand, soft bath mats and bath sheets cost much less. Now you're drawing excess water without adding much value. Your hot water heater can supply only so much hot water at a time, so you end up reducing water pressure and running out of warm water. A standard tub enclosure or a shower surround is enough to meet your basic needs without straining your hot water system and wallet. A top-of-the-line set of towels may not seem that expensive, but chain stores sell reasonably priced towels. You probably can't tell the difference anyway. Then again, you can soften up your existing towels with a half-cup of vinegar, meaning you don't have to spend at all. A basic small bathroom remodel doesn't have to cost more than $0,000 to $0,000.0 The more you go for luxury, the more you'll spend. At American Bath Enterprises, you can upgrade/remodel and spend less. We offer quality shower surrounds, enclosures, components, and accessories at reasonable prices. If considering a bathroom replacement or update, view our products online; for help, call 000-000-0000 or feel free to contact us on the web. | 2019-04-23T02:21:42Z | null | {

I would like to say that Anchor is one of the best website design agencies out there. I had in mind a picture of what I would like my website to look like in my head and I had a hard time explaining what I was interested in. I met with Anchor and they were very confident they could make a website for me that would be what I was looking for without really knowing what I wanted. They sent me a proof later that week and the rest is history. We now have an awesome website that our guests view often to look at our specials and promotions. Anchor must have been reading my mind because the look that they put together matched what I was seeing in my head! We have compliments every time our site comes up and they say what a quality site it is. Our guests love refering to it and checking it out often! I would and have recommended Anchor to other businesses in the area for a quality site that will make a lasting impression on anyone who views their site! Anchor is a patient agency who is caring and wants to make sure that things are just the way you want them. Thanks again Anchor House of Design for making us stand out among the rest in our area.

In a dry cast iron skillet, toast chiles briefly over medium heat, just until fragrance begins to be released. Place the chiles in a quart bottle or jar. Add cilantro, scallions and garlic, using a wooden spoon handle to help position the ingredients. In a saucepan, bring the vinegar to a boil, and pour as much of it over the chiles, vegetables and herbs as will fit in the bottle or jar. Cool to room temperature, cover, and store in a dark place for at least 0 days before using. Sprinkle it over Drunken Beans or Quelites, or use it in salsa and hot sauces. | 2019-04-19T07:07:01Z | null | {

One of the by-products of cleaning out our basement is now I have about a dozen huge boxes of unlabeled and unsorted photographs. Luckily they are in clumps or groups that were taken about the same time. Now, what am I going to do with them? I don't have the heart to throw them away. But wait! Yes I can. I can scan them, put them in a digital image state and then throw them away. So, for posterity purposes I am hiding them in digital maze that will probably never be looked at again but might be around longer than the human race. .. but they could be looked at again - but why? This will be these pictures last hurrah for a long long time. I took these pictures in the late 0000s at Sandra's house. Just by Mr. Harley handing Joe some kind of plaque with his name on it I suspect it is an unsanctioned retirement ceremony. All of them were my co-workers in the Time Keeper Data Collection Site. The lady above on the right pinning something on the other lady is my old buddy and co-worker Alice. Alice was one week older than me. She lived a fast life. She was always late. If she was so fast how come she was always late? That is because she also lived a disorganized life. I will always think of her with her red wig tilted on her head and one closed because the smoke coming up from the cigarette in her mouth. Alice also had a drinking problem. Alice had a heart of gold. She died of a liver disease. We knew her as Alice. Her husband, 0 kids, and 00 siblings knew her as Barbara Jean. I think the other lady, the pinee, is Joe's wife. Harry is dead too. Harry used to like to tell me what kind of mess his son got into, or as he used to say, "that boy of mine..." His son was about 00 and lived at home. I met his son once - that boy of his just didn't seem to have the enthusiasm or gumption to find a job or move out or ask a girl for a date. Mr. Harley was very scholarly and very courtly. He seemed always very gentlemanly to make every feel comfortable. Numeric-wise, I think his time on earth has come too. Who is not pictured because he wasn't there was Mr. Jonas. Mr. Jonas was Wayne Williams Sunday School teacher. He felt strongly Wayne Williams was innocent but got railroaded because of a screaming public. Popcorn did not like me very much to start off with. It took him years go adjust to me. His wife was murdered and I sincerely felt his grief. I got emotional when I told him how sorry I was. We spoke on friendly terms after that. Santes is the guy in the middle. He was a supervisor by default. Santes was easy going and was constantly getting chewed out by the person over him. But he kept on smiling. Santes wife was a postal clerk who looked mean enough to eat nails and spit out the pieces in your face. The guy on the right is Chuck. Chuck was a ladies man. He thought he was a ladies man and he was. He had several female friends at the Atlanta Post Office . He thought therefore he was? Is that the way it was. He was also a smooth talker, who seemed to talk more than he worked. About ten or so years after I transferred to Marietta one of our ex-coworkers called me and said Chuck was very ill and it was doubtful if he would live much longer. I called him and he was so much out of it I am not sure he knew who I was or not. He died less than a week later. Sandra was the hostess of this get-together. Sandra was very outspoken and once got fired for fighting a supervisor. Later, she got her job back because it was proven she could not have slugged him, based on the facts he said, thanks to my photographs. I always admired William. He was a hard honest worker with scruples you wouldn't believe, yet he didn't make a big deal of his high morals. One time at the Parcel Post Annex which was miles away from the Atlanta Post Office it was discovered that the timekeepers were doing every thing wrong, and abusing their position. They all were fired and William and I were sent in to run the time keepers office until a new crew could be trained. For several months William and I each worked 00 hours a day, relieving each other, 0 days a week, everyday of the month, for a couple of months with no time off what so ever. Life pretty much sucked then. His initials were WAP, which is what I called him. Sully was very outspoken in a loud manner. You might say he was usually negative in a positive manner. One time Sully and several of his friends pooled their money and bought a bus. They had plans on using it to carry clubs or organizations to special events. Everyday we got to hear of new problems their bus and their clientele were causing. I think they finally sold it to recoup some of their investment. One time during a storm a tree fell on Sully's house. He climbed on top of the house with a chainsaw to cut the limbs in smaller more manageable pieces. He almost did the same for him leg and arm. He had a chain-saw accident which almost killed him. When I transferred to Marietta he was still out. Now, these pictures, like some of their subjects are put to rest. In Marietta, downtown right in the middle of the town is Glover Park. In the warm months there is a concert every Friday night. Anna and I have been going since they started. We don't make every concert but we make most of them. Ever since the first one we both notice a man who is always dressed the same: plaid Bermuda shorts and black socks. He is middle age. He is always alone. He always takes a strong through the park just over the half-way point. He looks very much like Stephen King. There was too much music and noise for him to hear us. He stopped. Across the walk from us was an empty park bench. He sat down and seemed to be looking right at us for five or six minutes. He didn't seem any hurry to get up and get back on the move or maybe prowl. He looked like he was studying us. His facial expression was puzzlement, like trying to reach out to us, mind-wave wise. Fortunately, I think his mind ran into a cement wall. Then he got up and walked away. The Good Old Boys and Girls Tuesday night get together minutes for September 00, 0000. Paul Roper had people that knew and remember Geri Bundesman to autograph a glossy black and white picture of her and her husband. But seriously, I think we can say attendance was between 00 and 00. The food was plentiful and juicy, spicy, and all else that goes with a good meal. And we had peach ice cream too. Rupert served. One person ordered his food to go. This is Paul Roper's car. Notice the spattered bug on the hood. Noticed how well polished and shiny it is. Notice the handsome photographer's reflection? Or it might look sort of like a giant splattered bug.

Children are listed above under (000) Annie L. PETTY. An old high school classmate and I have been emailing. I won't say "an old high school friend" because back then we were not exactly friends. We ran with different crowds. He ran with the goody-two-shoes crowd and they were mostly running from us. That was a joke. We lived in a détente teenage society. Back then we more or less ignored different bunches...and in turn they ignored us. We were polite. But lately, I feel Brad and I have kindled a friendship. With rumbles of the Bell Reunion on my blog reminded Brad of his days at Larry Bell Park. Actually poor Brad lived on the other side of the tracks. True. The side he lived in did not have the luxury of hours old fresh eggs, or the pleasure of picking out your own live chicken and wringing its neck, or the joyful act of using a Sears Roebuck catalog in the outhouse. And on the Brad's side of the tracks they had boring Thanksgiving dinners - but on our side Thanksgiving day, if cold enough was a designated hog killing day and that was always fun watching the blood spurt and the guts spill out of the stomach. Brad, had to cross the tracks to his Wednesday night job as an usher at the Larry Bell Auditorium for the wrestling matches events. I had several good reads of him describing the wrestling bouts and challengers and the show of bloated egos. I used to go to the wrestling matches too. My daddy sometime would go and hangout talking local politics while I got into the crowd and made fool of myself. I broke my arm one time there falling off the bleachers. All this wrestling talk remind me of a MAD magazine article that came out written by Harvey Kurtzman and illustrated by fellow Georgian Jack Davis. It was the first issue of MAD as in magazine form. Up until that point MAD was a comic book. The publishing date is July 0000, the month I turned 00, which was during my Wrestling bout craze. What is Vickory Cab's telephone number? Where was the Apple Cab company? What about Howard's Taxi? Where was his office? PANIC comicbook was a publication by EC Comics. Interesting, one of its competitors was its sibling. Both PANIC and MAD were published by William M. Gaines, who owned EC Comic books. PANIC had an upper hand on the non-EC comics because PANIC employed the very same artists as MAD, and MAD sat the standards - all the lampoon comics wanted to look like MAD, it was the best seller. Artists Jack Davis, Wally Wood, and Will Elder did MAD and PANIC. This was during a time that comics were getting a lot of criticism for their gruesome stories and pictures. EC also led the parade on that, publishing such comics as TALES FROM THE CRYPT, SHOCK, etc. So, I think Gaines was doing a reshuffle of his publications. He knew now, with the new pressures, MAD was doing the best - so why not have another lampoon-type of comic? This story is drawn by Will Elder, which was the most popular trend setter at MAD. In this story, LI'L MELVIN, frankly, it was like Elder was a loose cannon. I don't think he had the Kurtzman guidance because Kurtzman was not the editor. Elder put more little tiny side jokes than he put in MAD. I think he also wrote it. I read that he had written some of his own stories for PANIC. In comic books many times there are more going on than meet the eye. And sometimes even a double story that only the fellow artist or writers can appreciate or get the full-jest of. For instance, once Harvey Kurtzman carried a sample of his art work to a newspaper in New York City, and the man over things like that was Walt Kelly. Of course, Walt also did the comic strip POGO. Walt Kelly, according to Kurtzman, gave Kurtzman "the bum rush" out of the offices. Harvey Kurtzman was hurt and offended. Elder and Kurtzman were friends, notice how he treats the POGO characters in the story. Another thing, you might not realize is the story behind the story of JOE POLOOKA's characters popping up in the story. Al Cap, the creator of LI'L ABNER, and Ham Fisher, creator of JOE PALOOKA, were bitter enemies. Early in Al Capp's career he worked for Ham Fisher doing a running story about hillbillies in Kentucky or maybe Arkansas. When Al Capp went out oh his own he did a strip similar as the strip he did for Fisher. Thus, a bitter court fight over copyright infringements. Ham Fisher lost and it wasn't long until he took his own life... so, bare that in mind when you see the below story. Another interesting thing is the last page where Elder gives an almost raspberry salute to all those "concerned" parents and investigating committees and others critical of the newly innovation of comics. Today was the Bell Center's 00th Reunion here in Marietta. Many of us who used Larry Bell Park for sports, recreation, and entertainment back in the 00s, 00s, and 00s have a reunion to come and celebrate living another year. And some of us can't wait to start pigging out on the delicious barbecue chicken breasts and barbecue pork and all the sides. We all have Georgian accents. ZZ Top or a Smith Brother?* Nope! Neal Lawrence is the organizer. Neal did a great job putting all this together. And the whole time he seemed very relaxed and on top of everything. He knew all and saw all. I think credit should be given to the Mrs also. Rock/Eddie Hunter roamed around and took pictures. They are not anything special. They are just pictures people at a common watering hole enjoying company with each other - like they did in their formative years 00 or so years back - only this time they can drink their beers legally. But, they still have to watch to not get caught smoking. So, on with the pictures - Let them roll Rock! Or maybe Rock & Roll? *However, Neal plays Santa Clause during the Christmas season. | 2019-04-25T04:47:34Z | null | {

For the second year, the club hosted a shoot as part of the Archery Interchange Ironman challenge on December the 00th. Our bunch of nutters ( I mean archers) enjoyed 0 dozen arrows at 00m in competition with over 000 others shooting at the same time in other venues around the country. Well, maybe that's a bit optimistic, but we're now into the Outdoor season, so unless the weather is really bad, and you are contacted by a keyholder or committee member, all club sessions will be outdoors. Boost session 0 and beginners courses remain indoors. An updated schedule of when the club sessions are, along with coaching opportunities will be published shortly. Here are the results from Sunday's tournament. Thank you for supporting our event, and hope to see you again at our next tournament. | 2019-04-18T23:12:00Z | null | {

People excite me, the streets thrill me. For me, street photography is all about the people. I don't have to travel to a different country, or even a different city, to shoot. The street could be any street in almost any city, Park benches, corner stores, automobiles, trees, sidewalks; all could be anywhere in the world. The street is a stage. The background scenery is irrelevant. It is the drama I have come to see and record. The people and the photographer inhabit a stage, for moments performing their unique script and then someone else takes our place. Lives and relationships overlap, strangers meet, separate, smile, frown, bump into each other. The performance continues with endless acts and scenes, prop and costume changes, lighting and weather variations. I am fascinated endlessly by people whose expression or physical presence is very strong or whose interactions convey some essential human truth or universal behavior. I feel a great deal of affection and respect for the subjects of my photos. When they knowingly and generously give of themselves for my photograph my joy is boundless and our connection, though momentary, is quite complete. When they are simply and candidly themselves I quietly record the moment and withdraw, cherishing the breathtaking authenticity I have just witnessed. I am honored to capture and preserve these moments in their lives. These people are real, were here, I saw and confirmed their unique performance before the curtain fell and the lights went out. > I am not making a social statement. If there must be a statement that I am trying to convey it's our oneness as human beings, our brotherhood and sisterhood and that I reach into a culture that is not my own to connect on the streets of San José, Costa Rica. Last Sunday I was walking with my camera in the historical center and found a strange empty city. The fact was that the Pope was in Genova and also it was lightly raining. I walked up to the cathedral, close to my home, and found some people waiting for the pope. But not many like I expected. I send you my view of what happened then. Not an event, just people happily waiting, the Pope arriving and waving few seconds toward the small crowd, going into the cathedral to get out after a little time. Then going fast into his "papamobile" toward the location where most of the people were waiting for him, sitting or standing with their own ticket to be there! Nuns and privileged hosts exited the cathedral. A young girl arrived too late with her flag and her map. Quiz: The F Blog "Who is"? | 2019-04-22T08:32:47Z | null | {

While studying at Hanken you have a great opportunity to learn Swedish! Knowing the language will open you many doors not only in Finland and Sweden, but also in the rest of Scandinavia. Hanken's task is to educate the economists who will work for Finnish industry and society, both at home and abroad. This requires proficiency in both of the country's official languages. Students who have studied in the Swedish language at Hanken should have the skills necessary to communicate both orally and in writing in Swedish and in Finnish. The Swedish department's task is to assure that students can argue their case, make presentations, and write business letters and reports, etc. in good Swedish. This applies to students with either Swedish or Finnish as their native language. The courses taught by Hanken are intended to provide students with the education and training they will need in their future career. Courses in Swedish as a foreign language are offered on different levels. If you have never studied Swedish before, you are welcome to join the beginners' course, which is organised every term. If you already have some knowledge of Swedish, you can choose a course that suits your level best. Each course is marked with a level code according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. If you are not familiar with the system, please contact the teacher to discuss which course would suit you best. Each course in Swedish as a foreign language is worth 0 ECTS. If you need more credits for your home university you can a) take the course Each One Teach One (0 ECTS), or b) ask for extra assignments. In Each One Teach One the idea is that you work with a Swedish speaking Hanken student who teaches you Swedish, and you teach your native language to him/her. If you would just like to have a taste of Swedish, you can start the beginners' course at the beginning of the term and take the mid-term exam after the first period. This gives you 0.0 ECTS. The goal of the Minor in the national languages of Finland is to give international students basic skills in both Finnish and Swedish. The minor consists of 00 ECTS and the student should choose at least 00 ECTS in both languages, the remaining credits (0 ECTS) can be chosen freely. Courses in Swedish are organised by Hanken and are open to students from Hanken, Aalto and Arcada. For more information (about the minor, the courses, enrolment etc.), please contact Katja Peltola (katja.peltola [a] hanken.fi). Hanken organizes two courses in Finnish at elementary level, the rest of the course are offered by Aalto university. | 2019-04-19T14:34:33Z | null | {

The band are working with promoters to reschedule the shows, amid reports that Jagger will have heart surgery later this week. "I really hate letting you down like this," tweeted the star after the tour was postponed at the weekend. "I will be working very hard to be back on stage as soon as I can." The 00-year-old is expected to make a full recovery and return to touring this summer. "We're beginning to look at the rescheduling options and we're going to try and do this as quickly as we can," said John Meglen, of the Stones' promoters Concerts West. "Everyone's health and happiness comes first," he told Billboard, adding that new dates could be announced "in the next couple of weeks." The US leg of the band's No Filter tour was expected to kick off in Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on 00 April; wrapping up two months later in Ontario, Canada. Fellow Stone Keith Richards tweeted following the postponement, "A big disappointment for everyone but things need to be taken care of and we will see you soon. Mick, we are always there for you!" Band-mate Ronnie Wood added, "We'll miss you over the next few weeks, but we're looking forward to seeing you all again very soon. Here's to Mick - thanks for your supportive messages. It means so much to us." Although the main shows will all be rescheduled, the band's headline performance at the New Orleans Jazz Festival has been cancelled, with organisers currently seeking a replacement. | 2019-04-21T21:08:53Z | null | {

In this video from June 00, 0000, we learned stanza 0-0 of "Creator Spirit, Heavenly Dove" (Lutheran Worship, #000), the Scripture passages under the Table of Duties for Workers(Eph 0:0-0), Employers (Eph 0:0), Youth(0 Peter 0:0-0), Widows (0 Tim 0:0-0), and Everyone(Rom 00:0, 0 Tim 0:0, Gal 0:0). This service is designed to prepare God's people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service. The dialog sermon explains the story of the beggar Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 00:0-00), which is the Holy Gospel for the First Sunday after Trinity. In this video from June 00, 0000, we learned stanza 0-0 of "Creator Spirit, Heavenly Dove" (Lutheran Worship, #000), the Scripture passages under the Table of Duties for Parents(Eph 0:0) and Children (Eph 0:0-0). This service is designed to prepare God's people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service. The dialog sermon explains the night meeting of Nicodemas with Jesus (John 0:0-00), which is the Holy Gospel for Holy Trinity Sunday. "This is a dreadful sermon. It brings out a wide difference among the children of Abraham. Christ says, as it were: ‘I know well that you are Abraham's children, but you do the works of your father. You are Abraham's children, but you have another father.' He assigns two fathers to them: "Abraham is your father, but you have another father whose children you really are. And if you are not freed from this father and stop doing his works, your descent from Abraham will not help you. To be sure, you would still be Abraham's children if another father, the devil, had not come along. But now you are murderers and children of the devil. Think this over! Abraham's seed is to inherit Abraham's kingdom and the promise, or the promised blessing, the kingdom conferred on Abraham; and his descendants shall fall heir to all this. But now you are killers and murderers, although you are of his lineage. That marks the difference. If you had remained Abraham's children, as you are his natural descendants; if you were not false children, the seed and children of the murderer, the devil - then you would be true children, and you would soon be free. But since you are seeking to kill Me, you are not true children of Abraham" (Luther's Works, v. 00, p. 000-000). In this video from June 00, 0000, we learned stanza 0 of "He's Risen, He's Risen" (Lutheran Worship, #000), the Scripture passages under the Table of Duties for Government(Romans 00:0-0). This service is designed to prepare God's people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service. The dialog sermon explains Jesus' teaching concerning a Christian's consolation under the cross (John 00:00-00), which is the Holy Gospel for Jubilate (The third Sunday after Easter). "John 0:00 I know that you are descendants of Abraham. He says, as it were: ‘You make much ado about the fact that you are descended from Abraham and are of his flesh and blood. But that will not silence Me or disprove My words.' This is just as if I, Doctor Luther, were to say: ‘I know that you are bishops and priests, that you are baptized, that you are invested with an episcopal office, that you are in the church, that you come from Christ. But that is not enough; it does not make you the true church.' ‘Well,' they say, ‘should this not help us, that we are among the Christians, that we are in the Christian Church, that we hold a Christian office?' No, that will not do it. They have attached far more importance and significance than we do to their claim that they are the Christian Church. With this they meant to imply that no matter what we stress or what we preach, the Christian Church will not err; otherwise God Himself would err. The Jews speak in a similar way here: ‘We are Abraham's seed, children of God, God's people, and Abraham is not a slave of God. But just as Abraham is a friend of God, so we, too, are God's children and His people.' Now the papists declare: ‘Since Christ does not err - and He is God - we also are the Christian Church, and the pope does not err.' We know this well, and you need not teach us this. You are baptized, you are descended from the right people, you are numbered among the Christians, you can recite the Ten Commandments, you can pray the Lord's Prayer, you can hear a sermon. But to say that because of this you are a Christian - not yet! That is not enough to make you a Christian. That is like the Jews' statement that they are of Abraham's seed. Christ says to them: ‘You are not free for that reason. You must come to Me and be delivered through Me, or you will die and perish in Your sins.' But why is it not enough to be of the seed of Abraham? Were Abraham's children not God's very own people? Yes. But Christ says: ‘You are slaves to sin and seek to kill Me, because My Word finds no place in you'" (Luther's Works, v. 00, p. 000). This does not happen when the devil preaches to his own. His doctrine is easily swallowed, for it is comprehensible to reason. But here, where I am peaceful and do not seek war but strive to bring salvation to all the world and preach the Gospel, war is already at hand. The devil senses that the people are being snatched from his toils and trap and are being led into the kingdom of the Lord Christ. Therefore he agitates whomever he can, and he himself wakes up and becomes mad and furious. Thus the peaceful must have a reputation as disturbers of the peace; they must bear the blame for creating discord. But those who break the peace and start the controversy boast that they are lovers of peace. Let it go! The devil rages this way to intimidate people, lest they adhere to the Gospel. Thus he slanders Christ, His followers, and the apostles as instigators of strife and discord. This complaint is lodged against the apostle Paul in the Book of Acts (00:0), where we read: ‘We have found this man a pestilent fellow, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the world.' And Christ Himself declares (Matt. 00:00): ‘I have not come to bring peace on earth, but a sword. I will set a son against the father and a father against the son.' The text offers us consolation against this offense and against the idle talk and the bragging which our adversaries now direct against us" (Luther's Works, v. 00, p. 000-000). The prophet Jeremiah had the same experience. In chapter 00, verse 00, we hear him lamenting and crying: ‘Woe is me, my mother, that you bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! When I open my mouth, only strife and factions issue forth. Although I have not lent money at usury or borrowed, yet everyone curses me.' Jeremiah also said: ‘Alas, what shall I preach? I have resolved to keep silence and preach no more; for if I continue long, I will preach only to my own harm and disgrace. This people brings God's Word down on my neck. Therefore I will content myself and let those preach who like to preach. Well, I would have been happy to do it; but Thy Word was as fire in my bones (Jer. 00:0)'" (Luther's Works, v. 00, p. 000). | 2019-04-21T14:12:42Z | null | {

Spring has officially begun on Cape Cod! It may not feel like it, but hot and humid weather will be here very soon. Now is the time to have your Air Conditioning system checked by an HVAC contractor. Just like your car, A/C system components such as the compressor and evaporator coil need to be checked before they are running full speed on an 00 degree day. This type of maintenance can prevent costly repairs during the Summer. Contractors such as Robies are usually inundated in the Summer, making it difficult to respond quickly to a failed A/C unit. The recent batch of Nor'easters have changed the shape of the Cape, shifting coastlines and causing immense damage. If you have a natural gas or propane automatic standby generator, it would be wise to have the generator checked. If it ran continuously during power outages, the oil will need to be checked and most likely should be changed. There are also considerable electrical components as well as the battery that should be inspected. Have it checked now so that it fires up safely next time its called into service! This is also a great time of year to develop a plan for summertime humidity mitigation. Humidity is terrible for the woodwork in your home - floors, cabinets, walls, etc. It provides a perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow, not to mention it makes us extremely uncomfortable in our homes. If you don't have a system in place to pull the moisture out of your home, now is the time to look into one. Whole home dehumidifiers perform brilliantly at reducing humidity. Ductless systems are also excellent at drying out your home, and they provide A/C. | 2019-04-22T04:48:43Z | null | {

The College Football Playoff on Tuesday announced the addition of three new members to its selection committee: Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, former Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer and Robert Morris University president Chris Howard. The CFP's management committee, which is comprised of the 00 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick, selects what has become the most visible committee in college sports. Each commissioner is invited to nominate people, and then the full management committee reviews the candidates, who hail from specific categories: current athletic directors, former coaches, former players, former journalists and former administrators. Geographic balance is also taken into consideration. Bio: In 00 seasons as head coach at Virginia Tech, Beamer went to 00 straight bowl games and led the Hokies to four ACC titles, five ACC Coastal Division championships, three Big East titles, six BCS appearances, two "major" bowl wins and an appearance in the 0000 national championship game. He was a three-time Big East Coach of the Year (0000, 0000, 0000) and was named ACC Coach of the Year in 0000 and 0000. His son, Shane, is special teams coordinator and tight ends coach at Georgia, so he will likely be recused from voting for Georgia, too. What he's saying: "College football has been my life's work, and I'm really humbled that I can still contribute to the game in this role. Hopefully the rest of the committee will be interested in my perspective. To join a group with so many great minds and such a diverse range of experience, I just want to pull my weight. The committee has an important role, and I'll do everything asked of me to help rank the best teams in America for the right to compete for the national championship." Bio: There's not enough room here. Not only did he graduate from the Air Force Academy, where he was a starting running back, but Howard also got his doctorate in politics at the University of Oxford and an MBA with distinction from the Harvard Business School. He is a Rhodes scholar. He is also a retired Air Force reserve lieutenant colonel and was a helicopter pilot. As if that wasn't enough, he was also an intelligence officer for the elite Joint Special Operations Command. He was called to active duty in Afghanistan in 0000 and was awarded a Bronze Star. What he's saying: "I am honored to be selected to serve on the College Football Playoff selection committee, which reflects well on Robert Morris University as a nationally ranked institution. College athletics can mean so much for the leadership and character development of young people, and it certainly has for me." Bio: Smith is in his 00th year as Ohio State's athletic director. Before that, he was athletic director at Arizona State, Eastern Michigan and Iowa State. He is a past president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and has also served on the NCAA Management Council, NCAA Committee on Infractions, NCAA Executive Committee, NCAA Football Rules Committee and the NCAA men's basketball selection committee. He was a member of the 0000 Notre Dame team that won the AP national title. After graduating in 0000, he joined the Irish coaching staff under Dan Devine, where he stayed until 0000. What he's saying: "This is a tremendous honor and privilege to be appointed to this committee. The sport of football has given so much to me, and I feel extremely fortunate to have this opportunity to be able to give back." Who's on: Beamer, Smith and Howard will join Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt; former Southern Miss coach Jeff Bower; former Central Michigan coach Herb Deromedi; former NCAA administrator Tom Jernstedt; former Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson; Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long; Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens; Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich; retired USA Today journalist Steve Wieberg; and former Washington and Notre Dame coach Tyrone Willingham. Age specifics: Nine of the 00 committee members are at least 00, including three who are least 00 (Beamer, Jernstedt and Deromedi). Hocutt (00) and Howard (00) are the youngest and only two under 00. | 2019-04-22T14:30:32Z | null | {

Lol how the heck do you solo Nessus with a Mage without ketting KD? You can have 00 str on pariah against dc 00 str check on PF, if you were even +0 check item you are immune to normal pf kd's. As for malebs, well you can always use chain of solidarity for foundation of stone or kill them with kickbackshields while you are KD'd, yes kb shields still works when you are disabled. It took me about 00-00mins to get to PW chest early this year, around january or so and that made me curious about the 00min KE mentioned.. Nessus first 0 maps are actually really straightforward spawns of stuff killable by sonic, next killable by acid then sonic again and back to acid (and evards before nerf). Erinyes' can be harsh to pariahs which was what I used abyss +0dex ring for. Also positioning comes into greater play when solo/small party. Rift for example is a map you can mass 00+ pf/maleb combined and fight a single PF while aoe nuking everything else. So if you wear fire/acid/mag immunity and that str check bonus item you take less damage than you regen and you can nuke everything from safe range, like having never ending epicwall made of stupid pitfiend. Then it comes down to having spells to kill them all without despawning, but dualboxers dont have to care about this. But then again, having less than 0 people means 0 loot in hells, so it is just for sake of spending time to do stuff like this. | 2019-04-24T13:48:41Z | null | {
