There are a few types of log splitter valves available. Oil will follow the path of least resistance. Therefore the oil in the cap end of the lift cylinder must be trapped during splitting. I don't know the model number of your valves or how you propose to use them but a check valve may be needed.

It only hit me about a few weeks ago that I'm running low on a lot of my skincare items, with my shelves in desperate need of a restock. I don't know why, but I have seemed to finish up my essential items all at the same time, something that NEVER usually happens. This week, Priceline had a 00% off skincare sale, a perfect opportunity for me to stock up on some skincare, and try out some new products for winter (I can't help myself, okay!). My initial intentions were to pick up some more of the Essano Rosehip Creme Cleanser. If you've read some of my other posts, you'll know how much I love that cleanser, especially for when my skin's feeling a little more on the drier side. Unfortunately, my local Priceline was out of stock :(. I guess that's what you get for going in on the final day of the sale, hahaha. Once I realised I wouldn't be getting my hands on any cleanser, I looked elsewhere in the store for some other favourites of mine. Firstly, I grabbed some Clearasil Rapid Action Pimple Cream, as I had minuscule amounts of it left at home. Next up, I saw that there was only one of my much loved night cream, the Sukin Moisture Restoring Night Cream left, so I had to pick it up. On a similar note, I'm nearly out of my everyday moisturiser, Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturiser for sensitive skin. I use this mainly during the warmer weather and transfer to the Sukin Night Cream during the winter. Nonetheless, I thought I'd pick it up while it was on sale, so I have it ready to go for when I'm after a lighter moisturiser. Finally, I was on the hunt for a new Facial exfoliator. After searching endlessly, I eventually settled on Biore's Pore Unclogging Scrub. I haven't much about this product, but I'd thought I'd give it a try. That is all the skincare I bought during Priceline's 00% sale! Mainly just a small stock up of my essentials, but a sale is a perfect excuse to do so! My skincare essential is the GlamGlow DreamDuo and the GlamGlow SuperMud Mask! The GlamGlow DreamDuo is a serum and moisturizer duo. I use it at nightly only and it provides me with the most amazingly moisturized and plump skin when I wake up in the morning! And the GlamGlow SuperMud, which I am sure you have heard of, is amazing for clearing impurities and shrinking pores!

It's always a good sign when an author's book comes from the requests of readers or hearers to learn more. That's part of the tale of Ken Shigetmatsu's book God In My Everything. I'm sure he never imagined, that Sunday morning he filled in for a no-show visiting speaker at his Vancouver church with the unrehearsed explanation of how he orders his life, a full-length self-help volume in the Christian Life / Personal Growth department would be the result. "Is it possible to follow the monastic way, enjoying God in every area of my life while immersed in the busy routines of modern life?" (p. 00). Shigematsu begins by envisioning a spiritual ecosystem. He pictures it as a trellis. The three up-and-down slats (Roots) are Sabbath, Prayer, and Sacred Reading. They are our means of relating to God. The cross-pieces are three planks that address three aspects of our lives with each other. The Relate plank includes Friendship, Sexuality, and Family. The Restore plank addresses Body, Play, and Money. The Reach Out plank concerns itself with Work, Justice, and Wisdom. These trellis items then become the structure of the book. - Take a 00-hour Sabbath once a week. - Begin each day with Scripture and prayer. - Pray the Examen before going to sleep at night. - Run 0-0x a week, swim 0x a week. - Aim to be home by 0:00 p.m. each day, and to be home at least 0 evenings a week... etc." p. 000. Each chapter concludes with two items: a list of questions for discussion, and an empty page which readers are invited to use to create their own rule. Shigematsu's emphasis on creating bendable rules, i.e. rules that change as life situations change. He relates how his life rule in some departments changed when he got married and changed again when his son was born. I liked the way this book addresses every aspect of life. "Depending on the context and leading of the Holy Spirit, you might choose a particular side of the gospel to lead with and, as opportunity allows, progress to sharing all ‘sides' of the gospel. The ideal is to eventually share the gospel as an organic whole that encompasses life, deed, sign, and word" p. 000. For a helpful book on how to order your life in a hectic age, keeping God at its center, Ken Shigematsus's God In My Everything is an excellent choice. I received this book from the publisher as a gift for the purpose of writing a review. A few weeks ago I agreed to read a soon-to-be-released book about children's ministry with a view to reviewing it for a print magazine I write for from time to time. Silly me, I didn't check out the authors or do any background research on the book before signing up for the assignment. If I had, I don't think I would have gone ahead with it. For, when the book arrived, even reading the introductory stuff showed me that I'd got myself into a potential controversy. This was a book on children's ministry, not for the type of church I attend but for the emergent, postmodern church. I have rarely read a book with such close attention, underlining, highlighting, and writing in the margins. It turns out the book has many good ideas. But, as I feared (from the little I had read about the emergent church), they are anchored in, what seems to me, some strange and shaky theology. That brief foray into the beliefs of the emergent church left me with many unanswered questions, questions like: What do postmodern Christians believe about Jesus and the reason for and meaning of His death? Do they believe in original sin? What about life hereafter? Hell? Why are they so critical of the modern evangelical church? What is the significance of their emphasis on the Kingdom of God? And more. Why We're Not Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be, by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck was a great resource in beginning to answer my questions.. In eleven chapters DeYoung and Kluck tag-team their way through the maze that is the Christian postmodern (emergent, emerging) belief system. It's tricky in that it comes from no one spokesperson but a network of people across denominations who endorse each others books, interview each other, and seem to be generally affiliated. DeYoung is definitely the heavy hitter of the two authors. Using examples from the writings of prominent emergents such as Brian McLaren, Rob Bell, Tony Jones, Spencer Burke, Leonard Sweet, Doug Pagitt and more, he ferrets out the emergent position. With his gifts for analysis and logic he exposes it as: against formal doctrinal statements; for questions, doubts and uncertainty; super-critical of the modern evangelical church; controversial concerning Jesus especially regarding the significance of His death and resurrection; almost completely silent on what happens after we die, and more. As a Reformed pastor he has a rich and broad-based knowledge of the Bible and church history, and is able to compare the teaching of postmodern Christianity to what the Bible says and previous theological movements. Kluck is the color commentator of the two. His chapters consist of vignettes of his experiences, visiting an emergent church, interviewing apologist D. A. Carson, attending the funeral of an old saint etc. They give us a break from the DeYoung's heavy braininess and do a little showing versus telling. Postmodernity: "The postmodern Way, as Leonard Sweet puts it so candidly, is an experience. The journey is more wandering than directional, more action than belief, more ambiguous than defined" - Kindle Location 000. Propositions: "Few things are so universally criticized in the emerging church than propositions" - K.L. 0000. Theology: "The task of theology in the emergent model is to express communal beliefs and values, to set forth that community's particular ‘web of significance,' and ‘matrix of meaning'" - K.L. 0000. Kingdom of God: "For those in the emerging church, Jesus' message of the kingdom is a manifesto about God's plan for humanity here and now. It is the secret, and subversive announcement that God is working out His plan for peace, justice, and compassion on earth .... Joining the kingdom is not a move in status (i.e. from unsaved to saved) but a move in practice" - K.L. 0000. Atonement: "So the atonement did not accomplish anything on our behalf. God's attitude toward us didn't change. Jesus simply enacted and represented the forgiveness that was already in the heart of God" - K.L. 0000. Hell: "...hell is just one imagery among many to describe the negative consequences of rejecting God's way" - K.L. 0000. If, up till now, you've only heard about the emergent church or skimmed the surface of what its champions believe and teach, DeYoung and Kluck's book will take you deeper. It's July and the season of flowers where I live. One look through my photo collection will show you how much I like them (maybe it's because I'm named after a flower!). The shape of almond blossoms was to be part of the decoration hammered into the golden lampstand of the tabernacle - Exodus 00:00-00. Grape blossoms and pomegranate buds are part of the sensuous imagery of the Song of Solomon - Song of Solomon 0:00. Mallow and broom are mentioned in Job 00:0. There is a "rose" in Isaiah 00:0,0 (NKJV) but it is rendered "crocus" by other translators (Isaiah 00:0-0 NASB). Several Bible writers mention the flower of the grass and flower of the field as reminders of how brief and fragile our life is (0 Peter 0:00-00; James 0:00-00). - The lily shape was to be the inspiration of the design of the Sea (a huge ceremonial basin that was part of the temple furnishings - 0 Chronicles 0:0). - A scented lily, dripping "liquid myrrh" was the image the Shulamite used of her beloved (Song of Solomon 0:00). - A growing lily was the example Hosea used of what Israel would be like after returning to God from her backsliding (Hosea 00:0). - Jesus referred to lilies as examples of life lived completely free of self-care and dependent on God's care (Matthew 0:00-00; Luke 00:00-00). This month let flowers prompt your writing. Perhaps your main character will be named after a flower, or your story will be set in a garden. That doesn't mean it has to be a story of sweet innocence. Lots of nefarious things can happen with only flowers looking on. Perhaps your essay will tell of flower-growing memories, or of how your black thumb makes you feel snubbed by flowers. Perhaps your poem will take its inspiration from a specific flower becoming an ode to that flower, will make that flower iconic of other things, or will expand on a flower painting or photograph. Let the flowers of the Bible and July inspire you and your writing. Happy blooming! Joni & Ken is the story of the relationship of Joni Eareckson Tada, the famous author, quadriplegic, and champion of the disabled, and her husband of 00 years, Ken Tada. Based on primary documents (articles, messages, blogs, interview, emails, radio transcript, out-of-print books of Joni's are all listed in the "Acknowledgments" chapter) the story is told in third person, orchestrated by co-author Larry Libby. The telling goes back and forth between Ken's and Joni's points of view, making us privy to aspects of the events that the other person would not necessarily have been aware of at the time they happened. The book skips around a bit chronologically but there's no danger of confusion because each section is dated. The ten chapters deal with different periods in Joni and Ken's relationship, and are titled descriptively (e.g. "At the Altar," "The Testing Years," "Reflecting on the Journey"). There is a middle section of colored photos. This is a frank and touching love story. It shows this public couple who, from outward appearances may seem to live above the fray, to be human, vulnerable, brave, and above all committed and obedient Christ-followers. The challenges Ken faced in caring for his quadriplegic wife while teaching school full-time (though he had help), are not glossed over. In the course of the book we see both him and Joni grow in maturity and love for each other. The way Joni handled her quadriplegia, combined with her continuing siege of excruciating pain, then topped with a fight against cancer had me speechless. I'm glad God knows what He's doing with lives that seem so unfairly burdened with tragedy. However through it all Joni is a glowing testimony first to Ken, and then to those whose lives she touches personally, in ministry, and now as readers of this book, of God's sufficient grace. Ken was a rock. Even through the hardest times, he was determined to keep his marriage vow. The part of the story that tells of his deepening relationship with God and how his heightened spiritual sensitivity became crucial during Joni's fight against cancer is a heads-up to all of us. We never know when the next trial will come. If we press into God during the ordinary times (though I don't know if you could label any of this couple's experiences ‘ordinary'), He will prepare us for the challenges beyond. "Thirty years have passed since Ken and I began our journey together, and God has used every trial - every hurt and heartache - to entwine us far more intimately than we ever dreamed on the day we married. ... nowhere else - and with no one else - will you have quite the chance to experience union with Christ than through a heard-fought-for, hard-won union with your spouse. ... It's trials that really press you into the breast of your Savior" - Joni & Ken, pp. 000-000. How do you view your retirement? As a time of relaxation and indulgence? As a dreaded time of uselessness and idleness? Or as an opportunity to rediscover your passions and live them out in the years you have left? In Reimagine Your Retirement: How to Live Life to its Fullest and Leave a Lasting Legacy, author Joyce Y. Li challenges new and soon-to-be retiring members of the baby boomer generation to tackle this phase of life with reflection and intention. Parts One and Two of the book ("Recognize the Many Possibilities" and "Living Your Best") provide a background to help readers consider what retirement means in North American culture, how the process of aging impacts one's latter years, and why it's important to approach this time with a plan. Part Three ("Discovering Yourself") discusses the Bible's view of life in general and old age in particular. It includes numerous self-tests designed to help readers discover their gifts, strengths, and interests with a view to setting a course and defining goals that will give meaning and purpose to retirement years. Parts Four and Five ("Vision and Calling" and "Put Legs to Your Plan") lay out an action plan that challenges readers to visualize the future they want, put it into words as a mission statement, and live it out. Li's experience as an event planner comes through in this logically organized how-to book. She bases her findings not only on her own experience but also on the expertise of others and includes many studies and research results. Real life examples add interest and show us that retirement can be the exciting, meaningful climax of a well-lived life. Her Christian outlook focuses the reader's attention on what will matter for eternity and is buttressed by many Bible verses and motivational quotes. Though I read the book quickly, it contains much that invites rereading and further thought. Readers who answer all the questionnaires and complete all the analyses will come away with invaluable self-knowledge and a blueprint for going forward, designed to give direction and focus to the remaining years of life. Li's methods will be especially attractive to the retiree who has a good amount of health, drive, and energy. Reimagining Your Retirement would be a great read for people preparing for, or in the early stages of retirement. I can also see younger folks benefiting from its wisdom and practical advice. All in all it's a powerful and convincing debut work authored by someone I'm sure we will hear from again.

After struggling a bit with the first decks I built in the new format, I wanted to try a more controling deck and I came up with this control/ midrange Shaman deck. My record with the deck is currently 00-0, in the ranks 0 till 0, and I am planing to play it further. It performed very strong in the games I played so far. I tried to build it in such a way, that it is good against the decks that are popular right now. So, especially with the popularity of Token Druid, Tempo Rogue and Murloc Shaman, I added a lot of early game. I first thought about the deck, when I thought that it would be cool to play Earthen Might on Walking Fountain. Then I concluded that an elemental package would be a perfect shell for a control/ midrange style Shaman deck. However, I have not pulled of that combo, but still both cards performed very strong. The higher amount of minions snyergize well with Hagatha the Witch, which is the most important card in the deck, if you plan to grind out the opponent. Most times you win that way. Swampqueen Hagatha and Shudderwock are also ways to win a long game. Shudderwock is manly there, because it is great with Swampqueen Hagatha, as you get both the effect of casting both spells, and an additional horror to the hand. Walking Fountain is also an imortant card, as it is one of the best cards for stabilizing. What makes this deck so strong (at least in the games I played) is that you have great and efficient ways to keep the board in control with 0 good mass removal spells (Hagathas Scheme is the great addition from the new set) and good and efficient spot removal. Also Thunderhead and Voltaic Burst can help, too. Theay are great against the aggro decks, especially Token Druid and Murloc Shaman. Likkim is also an efficient way to keep the board clean, especially in the early turns. Another great card for this is Sludge Slurper, which seems to be a bit out of place at first sight. But it has synergy with Hagatha the Witch, as it provides you with two spells, and it is great for contesting the board against other aggresive decks. One game against a Mech Hunter I won, because I had two Sludge Slurper on turn one and two and played the curve, such that I was ahead on the board in each turn and won on turn 0. The main reason, why I like the deck so much, is that it is a control deck in it's core and you can grind out and stabilize against a lot of opponents, but it also has a good curve that allows you to make some preasure and most importantly have efficient ways to deal with the opponents board. I will keep you updated and write some more (mulligan guide, detailed card choice explanation), if I see that you are interested in it. I added a Storm Chaser and Archivist Elysiana and put out one Fire Elemental and the Electra Stormsurge. Elysiana helps a lot against Warrior or other hard control decks. The plan is here to fatigue the opponent: When your deck is empty you can refill it with Elysiana and if the opponent does the same, you can do it a second time with Shudderwock. I played with the new list in the Brawlisium and went 0-0. My overall record is now 00-0 with a WR of 00%. First of all, thanks for the upvotes! My overall record with the deck is now 00-00 with a winrate of 00%. Hagatha the Witch: Probably the most important card in the deck. Good against aggro, as it provides a board clearer and important against slow decks as it provides a lot of value. Walking Fountain: Also very important. Together with Hagaha the Queen the best way to stabilize, as it gives you heal and takes out opposing minions. Especially imortant, as there are not so many good ways to heal for Shaman. Cards of choice to win a long game. They synegize quite well with another. Shudderwock and Swampqueen Hagatha can be also useful against more aggresive strategies, but Archivist Elysiana is only good against Control, especially against bomb Warrior, as it removes all bombs from your deck. Harrison Jones: Quite good in the meta, with all the Rogue decks and Warrior decks. Also provides some card draw in those matchups, which the deck lacks a bit. Maybe if the meta shifts towards more Druid or Mage decks, then something else might be better. Thunderhead and Likkim are very good against the token decks and other aggresive decks. The many one cost overload cards provides good consistency to it and are generally good against aggresive style decks. With those 00 cards you have a lot of cheap and efficient ways to interact with the opponents board or get some board presence. I added a bit of an elemental theme, since we have with Walking Fountain and Thunderhead some elementals anyway (Earthen Might is the only payoff card, though. But keep in mind that you can get some other elemental payoff cards with Menacing Nimbus and Earthen Might, like Arcanosaur or Bonfire Elemental). Those cards give you value and can provide you with some board presence. Storm Chaser: Card draw, elemental. Gives you Hagathas Scheme, which you always want as soon as possible, so that it can tick up. Both great AoE. Great against aggro/ token decks which are very popular right now. Hagatha's Scheme also great against Big decks, as you can remove a board of multiple big minions, which is difficult with most other AoE. Use your AoE, spot removal and other early cards (the Thunderhead package) to keep the board clean and then close out with Hagatha or the other value cards. Maybe try to preasure the opponent a bit in the early-/ midgame. Swampqueen Hagatha is great for that. If you can't preasure him enough (which happens most times) play Hagatha the Witch early and generate a lot of value. It might be worth it, to keep some of the cheap minions to play after Hagatha the Witch. If your oppnent wants to fatigue you, play Archivist Elysiana when you have few or none cards in your deck and refill it. If you think that the opponent has also Archivist Elysiana, it might be worth to wait with Shudderwock until you play Archivist Elysiana to refill a second time. The deck can be quite difficult to play. Especially against control decks, you might need to be patient and evaluate correctly when to commit threads and removal. If you are Hagatha you must also pay attention to the hand size. In general you must also be aware of overloeaded mana crystals. So always think, what you want to do next turn and if you can afford to overload. I would always keep one Hagatha's Scheme as you want it as eraly as possible, so that it can tick up. The only class there I might consider mulligan it is Warrior. I am not exactly sue when you want to keep Hagatha the Witch. Against decks there you think you can get to turn 0 I would probably keep it, as it is such an important card. Menacing Nimbus is also a card that is never bad to have on the early turns. Never keep Archivist Elysiana, Shuderwock and probably Walking Fountain, since they are too slow. I would also mulligan Earthen Might most times. I tried some times to keep it and play it on an early Menacing Nimbus, but it has not worked out that well. Those clases are most likely more aggresive. Keep any cheap cards and/ or removal. Maybe Zilliax. Against Rogue maybe not Sludge Slurper, as it dies easily against the dagger. same. I would also keep Hex, as it can be Big Mage, and not Sludge Slurper. Most likly slow deck. Keep Hex. Look for Hagatha the Witch. Against Rogue and Warrior I would also keep Harrison Jones, as that decks have quite important weapons. I'm working on something similar. I don't have the elektra though. I need to build a few cards for it still, I will pick up elektra when I can. I don't have shudderwok yet neither. I was going to craft that today, but if I want to play control I need the spells and stuff first. you reckon it will fair ok without those 0 cards for now, or should I just craft shuderwok now for my murlocs and then craft the control bits later. I'm a bit stuck on what order to craft stuff in tbh. I think the deck also functions well without those cards. Actually, as I mentioned in the guide, I put Electra out, as it has not performed as well as I thought it would. Shudderwock is good to have, but often he doesn't do that much as you might think. The only important card for the late game is Hagatha the Witch. As long as you have it, your fine and then you can choose, what you want for your top end. I just think that Shudderwock and Swampqueen Hagatha is probably the best choice. The question is also, since I had some problems with other control decks, even with the addition of Archivist Elysiana, that you focus more on crushing the aggro decks, in which case you don't need that much top end (maybe some more taunts instead). But it depends obviously on how the meta evolves. aye I want to get alysiana asap as well. I built a control shaman mainly to beat all the aggro decks while I'm laddering though. I'm not concerned about the control miror right now as I have decks that counter control already. If I play enough this month to ladder high enough to see a lot of control decks, I'll worry about it then. I built this anyway for now. it's good at whats it's supposed to do. They're actually quite similar though after comparing them side by side. What about putting in healing? Great video. Thank you very much for sharing it! Year, Control Shaman seems well positioned right now. There are probably many directions to build a controlling shaman deck. I like my list especially against aggro decks. And with my latest addition of Archivist Elysiana, you can have also some good play against other control decks. Nice deck. I tried it out and was able to win against token druid. Any replacements for Swampqueen Hagatha? Swampqueen Hagatha is probably in some way important, but not the most important card in the deck. Without it, you loose one of the best ways to generate value and the possibility of a huge board swing. Additionally Shuderwock gets way worse. To replace it I would suggest Kragwa, the Frog. It fulfills a similar role, but I think it's a bit worse and more situationally. Or else you can play again the second Fire Elemental. Great concept, I love decks like this. I'd be interested to try either not running Hagatha's Scheme since you already have Lightning Storms and Hagatha the Witch in this midrange deck. BUT I get that you wanted to make it more control oriented so if that's the case, I think you would need to add Storm Chasers to get those Hagatha's Scheme and help add some card draw because I think currently it might be a little inconsistent due to lack of card draw. In the first build of the deck I had a Storm Chaser but replaced it, since I wasn't sure, if it's worth it with only two targets. But as you said, the deck lacks a bit of card draw, so maybe it's right to play it. As I thought about, how I want to adress the late game, I thought that both Hagathas plus Shudderwock is enough. Interestlingly I haven't played against much control decks and indeed against no Warrior. This might be one reason, why my record was so good. But in order to be also good against Control, Archivist Elysiana might be worth it. So will try a list with one Archivist Elysiana and one Storm Chaser, instead of one Fire Elemental and the Electra Stormsurge. I've been playing similar deck, and yes it's great against aggro/midrange deck. But I just can't win against warrior.. How do you handle them? I think there's a way to weave in Archivist Elysiana it would great increase your odds, you get double value off her in those late late game if you play Shudderwock after her, and Archivist Elysiana or Shudderwock will remove bombs from your deck.

The data is not sent to our servers unlike other time you track in the app. YEEESSS!! It's what I needed for years! I can remove RescueTime now. Could you also track what person I was chatting with in Slack, Telegram, FB Messenger (how long was this chatroom in focus?) Is it anyway to get this information via SDK methods? Do you know any apps that support it? TAT! I just paid a one-year RescueTime premium account!!! Sad! I released POC of the feature only 0 day ago and started getting feedback already. Users like it but they also ask important questions. The most important is how to integrate it with manually tracked time when desktop activities are mapped to Types. How to display it in history? How statistics should be calculated? I don't know the answer. I track my study time. I also set "Study" activity type to XCode application, "Messaging" for Telegram app and "Surfing" for browser activities. I started "Study" activity manually and opened XCode (I'm studying iOS development). In 00 minutes I got message in Telegram and I had to reply quickly. What happens with "Study" type in this case? Does it need to be paused and resumed when user is back to XCode? Direct mapping of desktop app activities to manual activities is bad idea in my opinion. There're lot of data and displaying it in History is painful. That's only idea in my mind. It's not clear how to calculate the stats - use actual/manual study or let user choose ? I appreciate any ideas and proposals. When to support the tomato work method? Mac app Automatic tracking is not working. When, I select operation in safari browser tacking list show in below image. Is there are bug or other problem ? So, what should I need to do ? This automatic tracking is very excellent. I love it. Thank you so much.I tried, combine a automatic tracking type and a manuel type on Desktop. And It seen activities very perfect on desktop But I don't see desktop activities on iOS app. do you have a plan to do this.

>It's not often that I get to tell you about a book I read, so savor the flavor, folks. Usually, if it's not in an email, a report at work, or on the back of a cereal box, I aint reading it. However, I do love to read - it's just hard to tear myself away from the TV some evenings and curl up with a book. Reading requires brainpower, and usually I am running on about 0% of it when I get home in the evenings. That's just enough to watch a couple of Hills re-runs...but not read a book. Anyways, I did manage to read "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett which has been on my "to read" list (with about 00 other books) for quite a while. Lots of you have already raved about this book - but for those of you that haven't - join the club. It was SO good. It's set during the civil rights movement in Mississippi in 0000, and explores the relationships of white women and their families, and their maids. Really interesting book and you get so sucked into the characters. What perfect timing for this optimistic, uplifting debut novel set during the nascent civil rights movement in Jackson, Miss., where black women were trusted to raise white children but not to polish the household silver. Eugenia Skeeter Phelan is just home from college in 0000, and, anxious to become a writer, is advised to hone her chops by writing about what disturbs you. The budding social activist begins to collect the stories of the black women on whom the country club sets relies and mistrusts enlisting the help of Aibileen, a maid who's raised 00 children, and Aibileen's best friend Minny, who's found herself unemployed more than a few times after mouthing off to her white employers. The book Skeeter puts together based on their stories is scathing and shocking, bringing pride and hope to the black community, while giving Skeeter the courage to break down her personal boundaries and pursue her dreams. Assured and layered, full of heart and history, this one has bestseller written all over it.

Patrick Mullins is interested in prehistoric frontiers, coastal-highland interaction, warfare, and fortifications in the Andes. During the Late Intermediate Period (0000-0000 AD), the Chimú Empire had a heavily fortified hinterland that spread from their capital at Chan Chan, on Peru's Pacific coast, to perhaps the upper tributaries of the Moche River. Patrick's research aims at understanding the extent and nature of the fortified Chimú hinterland and the interactions that created the shared frontier between the coastal Chimú, middle/upper valley, and highland settlements. He spent part of summer 0000 surveying Neolithic - Iron Ages sites in Serbia.

West Coast Porting is building one of the first Yamaha GPR big bore, stroker motors on EFI with Factory Triple Pipes !!!! This is our "stealth ski" on our services page. Started out as an 00' non power valve 0000. Last motor was a big bore 0000cc power valve engine we ported and built. That motor made big power and unreal speeds at 0000' in elevation! I decided to take it to another level and build the first stroker motor, big bore while using the EFI (electronic fuel injection). I have posted some build pics so far and will keep updating as i go.

It's been 00 years since the day that Zoe and Aaron started making big fuzzy stuffed Squish to snurfle. We are still tiny: four illustrators, one ex-truckdriver, two statisticians, a random dude from Ireland, and a couple of other people who also have NO BACKGROUND in the toy industry whatsoever. She is a beauty, i love the gold wrapper a lot, and the cherry on top really tops it all off. She is adorable! Highly recommend her.

Trinity House, London. January 00, 0000: Gavin Reid, a 00-year old adventurer who took part in last year's Clipper Round the World Yacht Race for amateur sailors, has been rewarded for his heroic mid-ocean rescue of a sailor found trapped at the top of the mast on another yacht with the 0000 boats.com YJA Yachtsman of the Year Award. 00-year old Elliott Kuzyk from Poole, Dorset won the 0000 boats.com YJA Young Sailor of the Year Award after winning the 0000 Topper World Championship. Gavin Reid, whose family home is in Bideford Devon, but now works in Cambridge, was crewing on board the Clipper 0000-00 Round the World Yacht Race entry Mission Performance when an SOS was picked up off the New South Wales coast of Australia from a yacht returning from the Sydney Hobart Race, which had a crewman stuck at the top of the mast. Mission Performance was competing in the Henri-Lloyd Hobart to Whitsunday's leg of the Clipper Race and was nearest to the stricken vessel. Gavin who is profoundly deaf and had zero sailing experience prior to signing up for the Clipper Race, volunteered to swim between the two yachts and found four other crew onboard all incapacitated and unable to help their crewmate who had been tangled in halyards at the top of the mast for several hours. The runners up are 00-year old 00er class dinghy sailors Tom Darling from Kettering and Crispin Beaumont from Halesowen, and 00-year old powerboat champion Thomas Mantripp from Lowestoft.

There are different styles of freestyle and frontcrawl. Mark favours a more open water and triathlon swim stroke, whereas Heather favours a pool stroke. Which is more efficient and which stroke should you be using in your next triathlon? So what is the difference between Mark and Heather's front crawl strokes? The over the water recovery phase has the most notable contrast. In the pool stroke, the elbow typically exits the water before the hand, and then it's fingers first as the hand enters the water. An open water stroke tends to be quicker, has a straighter arm recovery and is similar to a windmill action. Which stroke do you use?

A couple of words on the work at "Caracat from our VIPLEO® kennel" program. It turns, that we are the first in the world obtaining the CITIES for Caracat F0! The first legal caracat kittens with a full package of documents were born in our kennel! Besides, all caracat kittens born in our VIPLEO® kennel have a state certificate of birth of the first generation hybrids from caracal (caracal and a domestic cat) and second generation hybrids (female of the first generation hybrid from caracal and a domestic cat)! All F0 and F0 caracat kittens are registered with TICA, and it is more than 00 individuals. We manage to get very beautiful and large caracat kittens according to the experimental breed standard. Moreover, we are waiting for replenishment soon! We have been conducting an intensive work at the "Caracat" program, i.e. publications in journals, internet resources, participation in exhibitions and TV programs, and yet a lot of interesting work is ahead. We are growing up female caracats F0 in a very nice style and color in our kennel, and we hope to get beautiful and large caracats F0 from them soon. Suitable males for F0 and further F0 program are growing up, too. We have a lot of developments and plans for the future. We will continue to inform you about our kennel work under the "Experimental Caracat Breed" program.

I had my eyes messed up by a plastic surgeon who overstepped his professional bounds by reattaching ligaments of my lower lids and causing adhesions that locked up my eye mobility. I've gone to many eye docs, who looked and said "You're okay..." when I was in REAL danger of getting into car accidents because I kept seeing double in my peripheral vision and could not judge speed or trajectory of other vehicles unless they were in forward vision. After FIVE YEARS of begging doctors who didn't have the skills or the guts to try to correct my problems, Dr Carey has taken this on in a very cautious approach that has resulted in one eye (so far) regaining complete mobility, and he is about to do the other. You have NO idea how devastating and debilitating loss of eye mobility is until your eyes are locked up and you realize you are in real danger of getting killed due to loss of full visual fields bilaterally. Thank you Dr Carey, I am SO SO grateful!!! You're my hero!

Over the summer of 0000, I had an opportunity to sit down with Dr. Elizabeth de Michelis and discuss the emerging field of academic study on Modern Yoga. Our discussion led to the creation of the diagram, Typology of Modern Yoga, which is based on the classification model first developed by Dr de Michelis in her important book, A History of Modern Yoga. This diagram aims to be a helpful tool for understanding the ever-evolving types of Yoga practised today and it explains the original coining of the term Modern Postural Yoga (MPY), which has become widely used within the Yoga community. Master of Arts in Traditions of Yoga and Meditation at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, UK. Master Programme in Yoga Studies at Ca' Foscari University, Venice, Italy (in Italian). Master of Arts in Yoga Studies at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, California, USA. first of all, thank you for this very clear and interesting post. I was wondering under which category would you put Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bajan. (I would put it either under MPsY or MMY) It is hard to find any reference to this kind of yoga in the publications that followed De Micheli's work and (since it appears to me as a big movement) I can't figure out why: can you help me? Thanks for sharing this great work. I love reading blogs, articles related to yoga. I appreciate your work. I would like suggest the name of Tattvaa Yogashala, Rishikesh for best Yoga teacher training certification course affiliated to Yoga Alliance USA. This picture is conceptualization and has a little to do with yoga itself. Many times it seems that western "scholars" are somehow making their monthly salary by these kind of things without going anywhere from the surface of yoga. Cannot even recognize here the ashtanga yoga that for example Manju Jois or Sharath Jois or other seniors teach. Indeed, this is a model for understanding the landscape of trans-national yoga offerings. It is not describing yoga teachings or practice. The ashtanga yoga of Jois fits into this model as an example of Modern Postural Yoga (MPY). You are incorrect to assume 'that western scholars are somehow making their monthly salary by these kind of things'. I am not paid at all for my research and writings on The Luminescent. If you appreciate my work, please consider giving a donation. Then, and thanks for making the effort. However this case of ashtanga actually doesn't fit to that model. The emphasis to the postural practice is from the west not from the source itself. When studying with any senior teacher, specially Indian ones, the emphasis is in Patanjalis model of eight limbed yoga with different forms of practical practices such as asanas, mantras, reading philosophy or pranayamas. Yes, it can also be a strong practise but it's not the point or emphasized according to Manju, Sharath or Masterji. I believe guruji had different forms of teaching for different people. He was also a scholar. With bad english taught also a lot of asanas and was many times misundersood according to Sharath. For many western people it can be mainly sports like practice and fitness studios are also teaching it because of it's therapeutical and demanding postures. Still the main point is elsewhere and it's mainly not understood in the west. Like other yoga it's also sold with marketing language and many of "famous" ashtanga teachers are more or less physically advanced practitioners and only teach this kind of postural yoga as you say. Still to understand the actual form or lineage it's recommended to study it with a guru. With this kind of "Typology" maps this yoga is undervalued and not understood correctly. If you have personally studied it more than 00 years and also studied with the gurus of it, then we have just heavily different point of view. But I think this typology thing only stays same level than the people going to fitness studios doing zumba or some yoga related sports. You can add yin, yang, flow this, flow that, beer dog, cat and other yoga as well then. Keep up the good work. Nice post. Thanks for Sharing valuable information. So where does Baron Baptiste's Power fit in? All all other Flow varieties including "Body Balance" (Tai Chi + Yoga or Chi Kung + Yoga), Dance Yoga, etc????

If a MI player wins Saturday's $000 million jackpot, it would be the largest Powerball jackpot ever won in the state. Lawson's jackpot holds the record for the largest Lottery prize ever won in MI. A customer buys Powerball tickets at Kavanagh Liquors in San Lorenzo, California, Jan. 00, 0000. On Aug. 00, 0000, Donald Lawson, of Lapeer, won a $000 million Powerball jackpot. The cash option is about $00.0 million. About $00.0 million of that would go to federal taxes. Unclaimed Powerball tickets may be entered into the New York Lottery Player's Club within 00 days of purchase for a second chance to win cash, points or prizes. Players pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers - five different numbers from 0 to 00 and one number from 0 to 00 - or select Easy Pick. You can get a hundred bucks by matching either four white balls or three white balls and the Powerball, and if you match four white balls plus the Powerball you'd get $00,000. · There were 000,000 tickets sold that won at least $0 in the drawing. You'll get this if you match one white ball and the Powerball OR if you just match the Powerball.

To Understand Your Strengths and Weaknesses You Must Track Where Your New Clients Are Coming From. Intravet and many other vet software programs allow your receptionist to note how the customer heard about you when setting up the new record. This is an invaluable method of getting an idea of your return on investment. Otherwise you are "flying blind"- a good way to lose money. Any good veterinary practice marketing includes accurate tracking of where your new patients are coming from and a plan to push for referrals as hard as possible. 0. Make sure that your system has this option and set it up with choices for the various kinds of advertising you are doing. 0. Make sure your receptionist knows how to find this option, and let this person know that you are spending thousands of dollars on advertising, and that their job security depends on helping you find the most effect form of advertising. 0. At the end of 0 month, generate the report showing the new clients and where they came from. You should also be able to print out how much income each category generated. 0. Also run the report of total new clients. You will probably see there are more new clients total than those that your receptionist marked! This tells you how seriously you receptionist is taking the job. 0. Look over the paid advertising categories. Internet, Radio, TV, Yellow pages. You will see very quickly what is pulling and what is not. Also you will know how much you are spending on each so it is easy to see where you are getting value for money and where you are getting ripped off. 0. Fill out this short form and get a free consultation on your marketing with recommendations from an expert! 0. Survey Your Clients: Create a simple customer service satisfaction survery. Get your reception to give it to each person as they check them out and ask them to fill it out. Make sure these completed surveys come to you and the good ones get copied onto your website and the bad ones get contacted and addressed. 0. Address All Complaints: Keep a record of all complaints received and ensure that either yourself or your office manager contacts and speaks to each person. Survey after survey has found that simply contacting a dissatisfied client makes a huge difference in what they say about you later. In fact, one survey showed that a percentage of those contacted would continue to use the same provider even though they were not 000% pleased with the service, just because they were contacted and their complaints listened to! 0. Offer A Referral Incentive: A simple printed card offering a small discount on products for referring a friend can increase your referrals significantly. A card or sign is cheap to produce and can do as much as thousands of dollars of more expensive advertising.

The workplace has changed dramatically over the past several years. While in the not so distant past things remained relatively consistent throughout the generations, today's working environment needs to adapt continually or risk becoming obsolete. New communication and management software such as Skype or Hubspot, among many others, have made it possible for an increasing number of people to work remotely. In fact, more than a quarter of all Americans work, at least occasionally, from home. As a result, some businesses have renounced the traditional office, opting for virtual offices, instead. For a monthly fee, these offices offer companies a wide range of services including a premium business address, a dedicated phone number, a professional receptionist, business lounge and meeting room access, hot desking, and more, without the need to worry about rent or maintenance costs. Technology has completely changed the way companies collaborate with each other. With the appearance of cloud technology and various other classes of communication software, interdepartmental collaboration has seen a steep rise in coordination. Today, there is a much higher degree of flexibility in the transfer of information between managers and employees, as well as between various departments. Data can now be accessed at a moment's notice by every authorized individual from anywhere there is an internet connection. Technology also provides for better competitivity. If in the past, only big corporations had access to celebrities for endorsements. With the rise of social media, things are somewhat different. Micro-influencers, or those people who have a small-to-medium following of Facebook or Instagram, can act as advertisers for various brands and products can't afford to hire an internationally-known celebrity. While their reach might not be as extensive, these micro-influencers are trusted more by the average consumer, thus, increasing their overall effectiveness and ROI. By 0000, the 0D printing industry is expected to be worth over $00 billion. The technology works by designing an object on the computer and then having the printer create that object on the spot. The impact this will have on an average workplace is not negligible either. In a study conducted by the Michigan Technological University, a 0D printer, when used in an average household, will pay for itself in six months, with a 000% ROI in five years. In the workplace, their efficiency and versatility are even more significant. This technology can translate to cost reduction in various areas, such as prototype production, office equipment and others. Depending on the model, this also means that businesses can be much more creative during product development. In the past, business training revolved mostly around gaining knowledge. In today's environment, however, with ready access to the most extensive and comprehensive library in human history, namely the internet, training is more focused on skills. With the proper skills, employees can access whatever information they need at any time they need it. In short, the workplace is changing right before our eyes, thanks in large part to technology.

0 Bedroom Detached House For Sale in London for Guide Price £0,000,000. A large, detached, double-fronted family home and stunning garden, situated on a quiet, residential street in the Westcombe Park Conservation Area. You cannot help but be astonished as you enter this pristine four/five bedroom, four bathroom architect-designed house.

The house has been designed to maximise the sense of openness, light and space, and the glass doors, glass stair panels and windows serve to enhance this. On the ground floor there is a dual aspect lounge/dining room with contemporary gas fire, feature wall and doors to a balcony. Also on this floor is a gym, which could be used as a bedroom, a WC and access to the integral garage. A few short steps lead to a lower level where there is a light-filled study and utility room on one side, and a shower room on the other.

Poll: Which County In Ireland Is Officially The Best Craic? Last year we ran a poll to find out what county we should get rid of and, after 00,000 votes the majority of you decided Baile Átha Cliath needs to say bye, bye. If you remember this poll, and you're still pissed off where your county placed, it's now time to redeem yourself and your county and wear those colours with pride once again.

Strictly speaking, Brussel sprouts are kosher. In their pure, raw state, all vegetables, fruits, and herbs are kosher. In recent years, however, several kosher certification organizations have taken issue with the humble Brussels sprout, and have informed kosher consumers that they are "not recommended." So what's the problem with the little cabbages? Vegetables may be kosher, but tolaim, bugs, are not. Historically, the onus has always been on the consumer to wash and inspect produce for worms and bugs before preparing or eating it. But in some communities, certain veggies have essentially become verboten, largely thanks to rabbinical rulings about the status of their inspectability. According to many Orthodox kashrut authorities, Brussels sprouts are both likely to be infested with bugs, and difficult to check effectively. In fact, though there are published guides outlining how to check various vegetables, Brussels sprouts are one of the only veggies for which inspection instructions are explicitly omitted, even for those ambitious enough to try. So, while fresh Brussels sprouts haven't been declared non-kosher, in many communities, they're effectively treated as though they are. Frozen Brussels sprouts, however, are another story. A handful of kosher certifiers - most notably Bodek - specialize in produce inspection. The same kosher authorities that advise consumers to avoid fresh Brussels sprouts have given the okay to frozen sprouts with Bodek or similar certification. Similarly, while whole fresh Brussels Sprouts are considered problematic, some rabbinic authorities make an exception for shredded sprouts. Why the distinction between whole and shredded? As icky as it may sound, bug parts pose a less significant halachic concern than whole bugs. What's interesting about the Brussels sprouts controversy is that individual practice about using fresh ones definitely varies, even in Orthodox circles. This is evidenced in part by their availability in strictly kosher markets. Seven Mile Market in Baltimore, reportedly the country's largest kosher supermarket, also carries fresh Brussels sprouts. (Seven Mile's website does note that while it "distinguishes itself by carrying only kosher products...consumers must use their own discretion regarding the kashrus status of individual items.") Some people get them in a CSA box. You can remove several outer leaves, trim the bottoms, quarter the heads, rinse, and inspect the heads very closely (sometimes fanning the leaves if they're not super tight). Discard any heads with worm holes, bugs, black spots, or anything questionable. Sheridan Gayer, Assistant Director at the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies at Columbia University, says "I quarter them so that I can check and roast them that way. My mom halves them. Nearly every frum (devout) person I know eats them in their homes, or at least mine, and I think that it's on a mass scale that everyone's worried they won't be checked sufficiently. (If you only knew what cauliflower looked like straight from a field. I find Brussels sprouts so much less offensive.)"

Marzocchi's top line 000 keeps the titanium springs but adds the latest RC0 damping technology. The bigger bottom end and brace add extra steering stiffness, post-style brake mounts and a proper hose guide. It also adds a fair dose of extra weight, which makes the air sprung ATA WC the smart racer choice. Titanium coils make the feel outstandingly fluid, with consistent buttery ground connection right through the stroke. Initial worries about the high and low speed compression being combined and controlled by a single knob have subsided, now they've proved to be impressively controlled. The volume adjust knob lets you tune end stroke feel and so far they've been fit-and-forget. Our number one choice for freeriders.

There are different themes in myths from different cultures. However, there are themes that are recurrent in myths from different cultures. Such themes occur in myths from many cultures irrespective of their time. Despite the occurrence of such themes in the different cultures, it should be noted that there is no universal theme in all myths. One of the most common themes in myths is the creation of the world. This theme occurs in many myths from different cultures. Such myths explain about god and the beginning of the earth and life. The theme of creation occurs in many myths that explain how a group of people come to be especially in the place they are today. This theme also explains the economic activity of a group of people and how it has been practiced from time to time by the ancestors of the group. In the cultures that have creation myths the theme of creation tells how life was formed by god and how the universe was organized from its original state of chaos to the now organized state. Details of how animals were created are also covered in many creation myths. The order in which things were created by the supernatural being is also explained (Willis, 0000). Another theme that is popular in myths from different cultures is the theme of destruction and recreation of the earth. This theme is popular in most religious myths. It explains how god will destroy the earth because of man's deviance of god. A good example of this theme is in ancient Greek culture which believed that there was the occurrence of seasonal fertility which was a strategy by the gods to regulate recreation. Another example is the case of believe of existence of perfect ages where humanity was at its best before defying god. In such ‘eras' man was still obedient to god and god loved man for what he was. After man defied god, the perfect world was destroyed and man was moved to a lesser perfect world. This theme is clearly illustrated in the Christian story of existence of Garden of Eden and Hesiod's Golden Age in the Jewish religion. Other ways that the world will be destroyed common in myths is through floods and fire. This theme occurs in Christian and also in Chinese myths. The Chinese myth of creation and floods by ‘ruwa' is very similar to the Christian story of creation (Gray, & Moore 0000).

Check out my weekly picks here or catch them on "Great Day St. Louis" on KMOV every Thursday. "Stepping Out in St. Louis" is a reflection of always keeping an ear to the ground about great events. After all, being out and about is part of my profession as a publicist. It's the unwritten yet well-understood part of the job summary. And as a native of St. Louis, I take interest and pride in all the great events the area has to offer. These events are my top picks for people wanting to discover and celebrate all that St. Louis has to offer.

Verizon has rolled out a new way to battle those seemingly endless robocalls. A free version of the company's Call Filter service was made available today to a first round of Verizon Wireless customers. In addition, this week, the company began using STIR/SHAKEN caller ID technology as part of its network "interconnections," company spokesman David Weissmann said. Verizon said it has identified nearly 000 million numbers linked to spam and robocalling when it first detailed the news back in January. The free Call Filter product offers wireless customers alerts when a call is likely spam, a way to report unsolicited numbers, and the option to automatically block robocalls, based on a preferred level of risk. STIR/SHAKEN technology also was used on a number of calls to and from Verizon's wireless network this week, according to a press release from the company. STIR/SHAKEN uses a recently-developed call authentication standard to help identify callers who "spoof" Caller ID information in order to hide their identities or impersonate legitimate customers. In the coming months, Verizon will begin to deploy STIR/SHAKEN on its interconnections with all major carriers to verify that the phone number displayed on Caller ID is the phone number that actually placed the call. All "postpaid" wireless customers with a compatible device can enroll in Call Filter, by downloading the free app for either Apple or Android devices, Weissman said. Customers looking for "enhanced" call protection experience also can download the Call Filter subscription app, for $0.00 a month per line. The subscription feature includes the ability to create a personal robocall block list, access to additional insights with the robocall risk meter and a spam number lookup feature. Customers of the other three carriers have some options, too. AT&T subscribers have the option of using AT&T Call Protect. The two, free apps offer automatic fraud blocking and suspected spam warnings. Customers can manually block unwanted calls. T-Mobile customers have two free ways to fight robocalls and spam calls. Scam ID is an automatic system that identifies spam numbers when your phone rings. There's no app to install or service to turn on. Scam Block is an opt-in way of blocking suspect phone numbers. To turn this on, dial #000# on your T-Mobile handset. To turn it off, dial #000#. Sprint customers can pay for "Premium Caller ID," at $0.00 a month. The service identifies callers who are not already in your contacts. Some devices provide "enhanced Spam identification features" according to the product description online. Cell phone users with any service also still can sign up for the National Do Not Call Registry, as an attempt to avoid telemarketing calls.

Spike analysis software for computing raster plots, peristimulus time (PST) histogram and inter-spike-interval (ISI) histogram. Spike occurrences are determined by a y-threshold level detector on positive or negative slope deflections. Set the Threshold crossing level that best suits your data. Use NeuroMatic's Wave Increment Controls (0) to step through your data waves. The number of spikes detected and rate is displayed on the panel. Use NeuroMatic's Channel & Wave Select Controls (0) to select the channel (e.g. "A") and set of waves you wish to analyze (e.g. "All" or "Set0" or "Group0"). Select the All Waves button. Results are saved to Spike Waves, displayed in a raster plot. Use the Spike Analysis controls to compute averages and histograms. Download the Spike Tab Igor experiment demo. Channel Graph Transform - if you wish to compute spike-threshold crossings on differentiated or double-differentiated data waves, click the Transform checkbox on the currently selected Channel Graph and choose the desired function. Threshold - set the absolute y-threshold crossing level. Spike occurrences are determined by a y-threshold level detector (see Igor Pro's FindLevels function) for only those values on a positive or negative slope deflection. Detected spike threshold crossings will appear as red ticks in the Channel Graph. xbgn, xend - set the x-axis spike detection window, or use your mouse to drag the red vertical Stats Drag Waves displayed in the currently selected Channel Graph. Enter -inf, inf to search the entire data wave. auto - turn on/off NeuroMatic's automatic spike detection. All Waves - compute spike detection on all currently selected channels and waves (0). Results are saved to Spike Waves, displayed in a raster plot. >> review - click this checkbox to review the spike detection results after selecting All Waves. Detected spike threshold crossings will appear as blue ticks in the Channel Graph. To delete unwanted spike times from the currently selected raster, draw a square marquee around unwanted spikes in the Channel Graph (blue ticks), click inside the marquee and select NM Delete Spikes From Raster. Folder Select - choose a Spike Subfolder to analyze, or a Spike Raster x-wave. The number of spikes appears to the right. Raster Plots - create a raster plot of the currently selected x-y raster waves. PST Histo - compute a peristimulus time histogram of the currently selected x-y raster waves. ISI Histo - compute an inter-spike-interval histogram of the currently selected x-y raster waves. Table - create a table of Spike Waves, including raster, PST and ISI histogram waves. Avg Rate - compute the average rate of the currently selected x-y raster waves. Joint - compute joint PST and ISI histograms. Spikes 0 Waves - copy individual spikes to new waves, beginning with prefix "SP_Rstr". The prefix name will automatically be added to NeuroMatic's Wave Prefix List. Select the appropriate spike prefix to analyze the individual spikes. >> Spike Waves are now created inside Subfolders by default. Spike Raster Waves are created with the following name convention: "SP_R" + X/Y + Wave Select String + Channel + Overwrite Sequence Number (i.e. "SP_RX_RAll_A0"). X-waves ("SP_RX...") contain the raster spike times. Y-waves ("SP_RY...") contain the data wave number from which spike times were derived. These waves are used to create raster plots. A NeuroMatic Channel Graph showing the membrane potential of a cerebellar granule cell in response to a 000-ms current step to 00 pA starting at 00 ms. Red ticks denote detected spikes. Drag waves (vertical dashed red lines) were used to set the time limit parameters xbgn and xend. Threshold was set to 00 mV. This Spike Raster Plot was created by NeuroMatic after selecting the "All Waves" button for the same data file shown in the above Channel Graph, consisting of 00 current-clamp recordings (000 ms current steps from -00 to +00 pA, increments of 0 pA). The XY-Paired Spike Waves used to create this plot are named "SP_RX_RAll_A0" and "SP_RX_RAll_A0", which reside in a Spike Subfolder called "Spike_Record_All_A".

Lili finished by highlighting various dApps built on the NEO blockchain and invited participants to explore the ecosystem further and join the community. Guil then introduced the UXTO (Unspent Transaction Output) account system on NEO. After outlining a scenario that included a series of transactions, Guil demonstrated how to set up a NEO PrivateNet and neo-scan to explore the UTXO system further. He used neow0j to explain how a raw transaction is composed, signed, and validated by the network. Rendong, who had freshly arrived from the airport, then discussed digital assets on the NEO blockchain. In his presentation, Rendong spoke about some of the challenges faced when using UTXO assets and the benefits of using the account model on which NEP-0 assets are based. Rendong outlined the structure of NEP-0 tokens and demonstrated a transfer using a wallet and neon-js on the NEO MainNet. The workshop came to an end with a light-hearted game to demonstrate a simple form of delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT), the consensus mechanism used by the NEO blockchain. The dBFT-inspired simple game worked as follows: two groups were formed with Lili and Guil acting as the "speaker" of each group. The speakers randomly wrote down a number between 0 and 00 and asked their respective group members to do the same. Each group was then halved, with the half holding numbers closest to the speaker remaining in the game. This was intended to demonstrate consensus and the game was repeated until one member remained in each group. Istvan Balogh, senior iOS engineer, and Ionut Scirlet, SAP solution architect at the Swiss Post were the two randomly selected NEO winners and were awarded 0 NEO each, with Istvan sharing 0 NEO with another participant. The workshop is being followed by a three-day NEO developer training event hosted by the Swisscom Blockchain Academy from Monday, April 0th through Wednesday, April 00th. The focus of the multi-day training is on how to develop smart contracts and dApps on the NEO blockchain.

Martin Parr, who was born in England in 0000, is one of the most popular photographers worldwide. The exhibition in the KUNST HAUS WIEN is the first great retrospective of the famous Magnum photographer in Austria. It provides a comprehensive insight into Parr's works. I must confess that Martin Parr wasn't really a big name to me, before I've visited this exhibition. If his name still doesn't mean anything to you, you simply have to continue reading this article! He had his international breakthrough in the mid-0000s with his photo series "Last Resort", where he took pictures of British beach vacationers. Martin Parr intentionally directs our attention to the curious and absurd aspects in our everyday lives. He shows the unspectacular, the ordinary things, the fringes of our day to day lives, which we often don't even realize. Doing so he uses typical clichés about the English people. Over the years he's been traveling a lot and therefore created a lot of photo series about different countries and cities, while his key message, however, is always the same. With a lot of irony he shows the excessiveness of our consumer society. Another special characteristic of the artist is his numerous self-portraits. By now his collection comprises more than 000 images. On his journeys he had portraits of himself taken in photo studios over and over again. This series is certainly also worth taking one or another look.

After the over indulgence of food and wine over the last few weeks I'm feeling the need for a bit of a cleanse and for my skin to actually look like I have been on a holiday. These "glow" balls are my new favourite version of bliss/protein/energy balls and they are beauty food for your skin so you will "glow" from the inside out. Well we can only hope any way! If you are that way inclined they are gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free and do still manage, in my opinion, to taste delicious. They got the double thumbs up from all my taste testers except one extreme sugar loving friend! These can be keep in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container or in the freezer for up to 0 months. I'm not going to say what they potentially look like unfortunately I couldn't get them to look any prettier but if you want to tart them up a bit you could roll them in desiccated coconut but just think of all the good you are doing yourself regardless! Your skin will thank you. I did them in the Thermomix but a high powered blender will work as well. Turn the TM back on speed 0 and run the water through the top slowly until the mixture becomes sticky mine took 00 seconds but if yours is getting gooey stop the water. Scoop out mixture and roll into the size you want and refrigerate for at least half an hour before eating (you can put them in the freezer if you like). Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 0 months. Enjoy and I hope you glow! Are you keen to get your inner glow on? Will you give them a go? Haha I love it! You are so right - bliss balls aren't the prettiest of things - but these would taste INCREDIBLE!!! I know it took me ages to decide how to photograph them! I hear you, after a few big weeks of travelling and waaaay too much yummy food I need to get my glow back as well. These look great and perfect timing, my thermomix arrived last night! I'm so excited for you getting your Thermomix - I'm sure you will LOVE it. I might give them a try too without and see what the difference is like. I sometimes find cacao a bit too bitter but the quantities in these was fine for me. You really don't like chocolate????? Brilliant! Totes on my list for when I go on holidays at the end of the week!! Ha! I need to work on my "styling" of these types of things, what ever I did....rabbit droppings!

0 Trucks Burn in Pine Harbor Subdivision, Possible Foul Play, ONALASKA, May 0, 0000 - At approximately 00:00 pm on May 0, 0000, neighbor Ray Viellieux and his son were awakened by what they described as the sound of an explosion. Viellieux looked out his window to see his neighbor's 0000 Chevy Z00 Off Road Silverado engulfed in flames, shortly after that, a 0000 Chevy S-00 (directly in front of the Silverado) caught fire and both trucks were totaled at 000 Tallow in the Pine Harbor subdivision of Onalaska. Misty Schuetze, the owner of the vehicles says the same thing; she heard an explosion, looked out the window of her mobile home only to see her truck burning. "My ex did this"..."Oh yeah, it was him. Yes, my ex did this". Schuetze says that she's convinced that her ex-boyfriend is responsible for this and that this is his mode of operation. The Onalaska Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene and doused the burning vehicles. The intensity of the flames melted the vinyl skirting on her mobile home and nearly caught it on fire. After the fire department left, investigators moved in and began an investigation into the cause of the dual blaze. Onalaska policeman Anthony Yaw and Polk County Sheriff's Deputy Keith Franklin helped secure the scene as Polk County Fire Marshall Jay Barbee investigated. Soon, Polk County Sheriff's Department investigator Christi Allen arrived. Both Allen and Barbee said the cause of the blaze is under investigation although Schuetze is convinced this is an intentional act of arson.

Governor Andrew Cuomo says he may have to call a special session in December to deal with potential funding cuts from Washington that he calls part of a "federal assault" on New York. Cuomo says he's developing a plan to manage what he says will be over a billion dollars in cuts to the state's public hospitals, now that Congress has failed to renew a key program. "All hospitals will need to find savings," Cuomo said. Cuomo says he's engaged the financial firm KPMG to do come up with a proposal to distribute the cuts, and will also reconvene his Medicaid Redesign Team that revamped the Medicaid program several years ago. The legislature will then have a chance to vote on the cost-cutting plan, under provisions of a new law passed as part of the state budget earlier this year. The governor admits the cuts will be "controversial" and "difficult" to allocate. "I'm sure it will be a heated argument," Cuomo said. The cuts stem from the expiration of the Disproportionate Share Hospital fund, or DSH, which provided money to public hospitals to help pay for care for the uninsured. It ran out on October 0st, after Congress failed to renew the fund. The DSH fund is part of the Affordable Care Act. When the ACA began in 0000, President Obama and Congress intended to eventually phase out the money to help the uninsured, because under the new national health plan, the numbers of uninsured were expected to drop. In New York the number of uninsured has been reduced by half. Critics have said Cuomo and state leaders should have known the cut was coming, and the governor acknowledges that he did anticipate that the DSH money would end someday. He compares it to a person being told to stop eating hamburgers because they have high cholesterol and might get a heart attack. Congress also failed to renew funding for the Child Health Plus program for poor children, a program originally begun by the present Governor's father, the late Governor Mario Cuomo, and adopted nationwide by former President Bill Clinton. New York will lose a billion dollars, but the governor's Medicaid director Jason Helgerson says the program will continue to provide health care for around 000,000 children even though the federal component has now ended. But he says the state will now have to come up with the missing money. Helgerson admits it has policymakers "scared". It's possible though, that the cuts could be avoided. Cuomo says Congress could act in December to renew the DSH funding. New York Senator and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, along with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, cut a deal with President Trump to work out a new federal spending plan by mid-December. Cuomo says if that happens, the legislature won't need to meet until January and the cuts won't have to be made. But he says he does not have a lot of confidence in Washington's ability right now "acting sensibly". In the meantime, Cuomo says he will appeal to the state's congressional delegation, both Democrats and Republicans to fight to restore the cuts. The governor's plans to cope with federal cuts come as the State's Comptroller Tom DiNapoli has issued a report finding New Yorkers gave over $00 billion dollars more in taxes in 0000 to Washington then they got back in benefits. And the report finds that gap has doubled from $00.0 billion dollars in 0000.

(Photo: Lisa Norwood / Flickr)The country's biggest banks are happy to make their money from the same governments about which they love to whine. Bankers love to rail against government interference in the "free market." Jamie Dimon, grilled this week in front of Congress over JP Morgan Chase's massive recent losses, famously complained last year that some regulations are "anti-American." And Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, warned ominously that increased regulations might make the bank seek out another location to do its business: "Operations can be moved globally and capital can be accessed globally," he said. Even while some of them occasionally have the grace to admit that they wouldn't still be around without the massive taxpayer bailouts of 0000 (and continued access to ultra-cheap loans from the Federal Reserve), they still like to claim that they're free-market entities, subject to the whims of the invisible hand, and that the government's meddling can only be destructive. Yet those same banks are happy to make their money from the same governments about which they love to whine. Most of us know about the big, official bailouts. But the banks get much more than that from federal and state governments. Those lobbying dollars and campaign donations aren't just to keep regulators away; they lead to lucrative contracts where banks are paid to administer government services, and are put in position to skim fees off the very same taxpayers who pay for those services. The big banks have their tentacles in every aspect of government - despite right-wing hand-wringing about government bureaucracy, the big banks are often actually the ones coming between you and your money. So who's really getting rich off "welfare"? JP Morgan and Bank of America. Below are six ways the big banks rake in cash every day from services that are supposed to help working Americans. Suzanne Merkelson at Republic Reports points out that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits - the program formerly known as food stamps, which provides food aid to families - increased to $00 billion last year (from $00 billion in 0000). JP Morgan spends a bunch of money lobbying the Department of Agriculture on this program, making sure they get what they want - a big paycheck from state taxpayers. And the best part? When you have a problem with your JP Morgan SNAP benefits card? You call a JP Morgan call center for help - and that call center just might be in India. So to recap: big bank makes money off a program that helps people who are unemployed - and creates jobs in India with that money, rather than creating them here in the US. The banks get paid directly by the state to handle the SNAP program, but that's far from the only program designed to help the victims of the lousy economy that has turned into a cash cow for the banks that created the crisis in the first place. The bank also collects a 0-cent fee from the state each time it "facilitates" a transfer on a prepaid card. It also gets those fees for direct-depositing unemployment benefits into someone's bank account. USPIRG found that 00 of the 00 largest public 0-year universities and 00 of the largest 00 community colleges - the schools in part supported by taxpayers - had deals with banks to provide debit or prepaid cards for students. The campuses often get money from the banks for the privilege of access to students, and the banks then make their money back in fees - and possibly other ways, too. Mela Heestand, writing for AlterNet about the protests at the University of California Davis that drove US Bank to close its campus bank branch, pointed out that "university contracts with banks encourage tuition hikes, because banks stand to profit directly from rising tuition, while the administration comes to rely on funding from bank contracts." US Bank has agreements at 00 campuses around the country. Students are the ones bearing the costs of access to money they're already paying interest on, and USPIRG points out that the fees are "steep and frequent," including per-swipe fees, inactivity fees (yes, you read that right), overdraft fees and fees to reload their prepaid cards. And financial aid that is paid to students through a debit card is subject, just like any other card, to ATM fees if students use an ATM not owned by the bank that currently has their money. The Department of Education has rules on this practice, banning banks from charging fees if they provide "convenient" ATMs for the students' use, but their definition of "convenient" is vague - leaving students at the mercy of a single ATM on campus, which produces long lines and leaves no alternative if it breaks or runs out of cash. It's not only your unemployment, financial aid, or SNAP benefits that the big banks control these days - they also might come between you and your tax return. Once again, South Carolina takes the lead, claiming to save the taxpayer money by cutting a deal with Bank of America, this time to send out tax returns in the form of - you guessed it - prepaid debit cards from Bank of America. And just like with unemployment benefits and financial aid (or your regular, consumer bank card), the bank is making its money collecting fees from people trying to access their own money. "They're not even nickel and diming people, they're five-dollaring and 00-dollaring people," Sue Berkowitz, Director of the Appleseed Legal Justice Center, says. Oh, and the bank got this deal through a no-bid contract - the Department of Revenue calls them "the best fit" for the program. The program isn't mandatory but, the Palmetto Public Record notes, it's opt-out, not opt-in. Which means that unless you request otherwise, your money will be given to you through Bank of America - which in addition to sticking you with ATM fees and other charges, is going to make interest on your money while it's sitting in their account. Getting the big banks to refinance mortgages and help people facing foreclosure stay in their homes has been a huge fight, with activists around the country putting their bodies on the line, physically occupying homes to keep residents in them. Now the program that's supposed to help those struggling homeowners looks instead to be a big fat handout to the same banks that were preying on borrowers to begin with. According to the Wall Street Journal, banks that service mortgages could make as much as $00 billion by refinancing under the newest version of the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP 0.0). And the borrowers? Oh, they'll save money, too - somewhere around $0.0 billion, maybe $0 billion tops. The program is supposed to let underwater borrowers who've made all their payments in good faith refinance their mortgages at current market value. But, Bonnie Kavoussi at the Huffington Post notes, instead those banks are able to charge steep fees and above-market interest rates. In recent decades, governments and central banks around the world have developed a consistent pattern of behavior when trouble strikes banks that are large or interconnected enough to threaten the broader economy: They step in to ensure that all the bank's creditors, not just depositors, are paid in full. Although typically necessary to prevent permanent economic damage, such bailouts encourage a reckless confidence among creditors. They assume the government will always make them whole, so they become willing to lend at lower rates, particularly to systemically important banks. In other words, because we bailed them out once, the expectation that we'll do it again is actually making the banks money. Other lenders are willing to lend money to the "systemically important banks" (read: banks that got bailed out by the US government because they were "too big to fail") at lower interest rates because they presume that they'll always get their money back since the government will make sure the banks don't go belly up. So the biggest banks are paying less in interest than medium-size and small banks - and that adds up to billions. So they're profiting just from being too big to fail. And each time there's a crisis, the expectation of government support actually grows - as of 0000, Bloomberg notes, they're saving about 0.0 percent every time they borrow. The total benefit to the big banks just of the expectation that there will be another bailout? About $00 billion a year - which Bloomberg points out is equal to their total profit from the past twelve months, and is more than the federal government spends each year on education. Dimon, of course, claimed that it wasn't true, and that he borrowed in the marketplace, "with the smartest people in the world." But it looks like the smartest people in the world are getting a whole lot of help - and making a whole lot of money - off of college students and taxpayers, off the working poor and unemployed in the U.S.

JUST before Google first sold its shares to the public in 0000, Larry Page, one of its founders, excited the nonprofit world with a bold commitment to philanthropy. In the philanthropy world, many people have a more skeptical view of Google's experiment. NOTHING illustrates DotOrg's approach better than Google Flu Trends, an innovative tool that uses data collected from searches about flu symptoms to predict the location of flu outbreaks. In April 0000, Dr. Brilliant said it epitomized the power of Google's vaunted engineering prowess to make the world a better place, and he predicted that it would save untold numbers of lives. Public health officials say the tool is undoubtedly useful. But "on an individual basis, does Flu Trends save lives? No," said Ashley LaMonte-Fowlkes, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which helped Google test and develop it. Instead, she described it as "a really nice adjunct" to other tools that the agency uses to understand the spread of flu. One major shortcoming of Flu Trends is that in poor regions of the developing world, where devastating pandemics are most likely to start, computers are not widely available, so Google has little data to feed into the tool. Even in the United States, during the swine flu outbreak of 0000, Flu Trends had difficulty detecting the relatively small number of H0N0 infections. Some veterans of DotOrg say Flu Trends is an example of how Google's engineering-centric approach frustrated and limited them. Those solutions also had to be something that Google engineers, who represent the cream of the world's elite universities, believed that only they could create. For instance, in early 0000, some DotOrg staff members with traditional nonprofit backgrounds proposed a system to track drugs for diseases like malaria and tuberculosis through the supply chain, in order to combat drug counterfeiting and theft. Fake drugs, which can be toxic, are an enormous problem: the World Health Organization has estimated that more than 00 percent of drugs sold in developing countries in Africa and parts of Asia and Latin America can be counterfeit. The team's idea was to engineer a FedEx-type system, relying in part on text-messaging, that would track drugs from the moment they left a manufacturer's control until they reached a patient. The plan never went anywhere, however, because text-messaging was not sophisticated enough to challenge Google's engineers, several former DotOrg executives said. The culture clash between the engineers - caustically referred to by former DotOrg executives as "the Brahmin" - and those from development organizations was exacerbated by DotOrg's leader, Dr. Brilliant, according to a dozen former employees of DotOrg. Even Dr. Brilliant's fans - and they are legion in Silicon Valley and the global health arena - say he lacks management skills. A spokesman for Dr. Brilliant's current employer, the Skoll Global Threats Fund, said last week that he was unavailable for an interview because of a death in his immediate family. Dr. Brilliant did respond to some questions by e-mail, though he did not reply to a question about his management. He was hired on a whim after he won the coveted TED Prize, awarded annually to someone with a world-changing "wish," in 0000 for his idea to build a global early-response system to identify new diseases and disasters as soon as they emerge, thus heading off pandemics. Dr. Brilliant was invited to speak to Google employees about his idea, and Mr. Page and his Google co-founder, Sergey Brin, happened to attend. They were smitten, and Dr. Brilliant was hired almost immediately. It took DotOrg almost two years to define the five areas in which it would work, and they were announced with much fanfare in January 0000: predicting and preventing diseases; growing small and midsize businesses; increasing access to information and public services; developing renewable energy; and helping to commercialize plug-in hybrids. Google.org vowed to spend $000 million in those areas over the next three years. It troubled several DotOrg executives that the largest grant announced that day, accounting for 00 percent of the $00 million committed at the time, went to InStedd, the organization that Dr. Brilliant had founded with his TED prize money. "No one seemed to understand that this looked like a tremendous conflict of interest," said one former DotOrg employee who oversaw programs and asked for anonymity because Google's severance contract included a confidentiality clause. During Dr. Brilliant's tenure as executive director of DotOrg, InStedd received $00 million from the institution, while the Seva Foundation, another nonprofit that he had co-founded, received $0.0 million. In an e-mail, Dr. Brilliant said the grant to Seva illustrated Google's "don't be evil" mantra: Mr. Brin ordered it up to make Seva whole after Google hired Dr. Brilliant away. Dr. Brilliant also had to deal with other issues. On a personal level, he was distracted during part of his time at DotOrg because two family members were critically ill. It didn't help that Sheryl Sandberg, a Google executive who was the architect of DotOrg as it was first conceived, left to join Facebook in early 0000. Ms. Sandberg's first job out of college was with the World Bank in India, and many DotOrg executives considered her their champion. When she left, DotOrg became isolated. It operated out of San Francisco, rather than from Google's campus in Mountain View, Calif. And with its executives spending most of their time in the developing world and thus unable to cultivate allies at the company, DotOrg all but ground to a halt. Dr. Brilliant lacked Ms. Sandberg's access to the Executive Management Group, which comprises about a dozen senior Google executives close to Mr. Page, Mr. Brin and Eric E. Schmidt, Google's longtime chief executive, who is moving to a new role as executive chairman in April. (Mr. Page, meanwhile, will become C.E.O.) Members of this group were usually too busy to attend meetings where grants were presented for approval, so Dr. Brilliant worked out a system of e-mailing the proposals to Mr. Page and Mr. Brin. If they did not respond within 00 hours, he made the decision himself. LAURENCE SIMON, a professor at Brandeis University and a friend of Dr. Brilliant's who took a sabbatical to work at DotOrg in 0000, said that in his view, Google's top executives grew frustrated with DotOrg when they were not being presented with clearly defined problems and solutions. "I think they expected there would be the same kind of ‘launch early and often' approach demanded on the business side, but that's not the way development works," Mr. Simon said. When the Google founders did attend a meeting about DotOrg, they spent most of their time fiddling with their BlackBerrys. At one meeting, former DotOrg executives said, they were stunned when Mr. Brin dropped to the floor and started doing push-ups. "DotOrg was like quicksand - every time you thought you'd found your footing, a sinkhole opened," the former Google.org program officer said. Jacquelline Fuller, a spokeswoman for DotOrg, said Mr. Brin, Mr. Page and Mr. Schmidt were not available to discuss the organization. By the end of 0000, many of the DotOrg executives hired from the outside had left in frustration, and morale ratings were among the lowest in the company, according to an employee survey. Mr. Schmidt was prodded by other Google executives to review and restructure the operation. After the review, Google suspended all grants that were not quite final. Grants were canceled to institutions like Harvard and Stanford for research projects in Africa even though Google's senior management had approved them and they lacked only a final signature on the contracts. Mr. Schmidt moved DotOrg to the Mountain View campus in early 0000. That February, Dr. Brilliant was given the title "chief philanthropic evangelist," and left the organization soon after to join the Skoll Global Threats Fund. Ms. Smith took over DotOrg. Engineers from outside DotOrg were assigned to review all of the grants it had made. Not surprisingly, they wanted to know why there wasn't more engineering in, say, a grant made to assess the quality of basic education in Tanzania's schools. They also wanted to know why DotOrg wasn't working more to "scale" up small projects to have a broader impact. "They never understood that technology is a means to an end, and that in the developing world, sometimes basic technology, like the collection and compilation of data, can have enormous impact," said another DotOrg program officer, who resigned after the reorganization. In the end, many grants were labeled "legacy" and discontinued when they expired. IN devising what DotOrg would become after Dr. Brilliant, the company went back to the Flu Trends model. It has developed a series of tools based on existing Google technologies, including PowerMeter, which lets people track their home energy use in real time, and Earth Engine, which uses Google Earth and satellite imagery to monitor aspects of the earth's environment, including deforestation. So far, PowerMeter has failed to gain widespread adoption, in part because there are a number of competing products and many utilities did not get behind the idea. Earth Engine, which Google released last month, offers more promise. It includes years of satellite imagery of the planet, and lets scientists use Google's cloud-computing infrastructure to analyze it. DotOrg's projects related to green energy have received more attention from Google's top brass, since they are pet projects of the founders and fit with the company's broader, for-profit investments in clean energy technologies. The organization's engineers are working on technology that would make solar energy less expensive and more efficient as part of an initiative to develop renewable energy cheaper than coal. Another effort, to accelerate the development of plug-in cars, has its roots in the original DotOrg. The company worked to modify a fleet of hybrids to draw power from the grid and set up charging stations on its campus. Google says it cannot easily separate the impact it has had in bringing plug-in hybrids closer to reality from that of others, like General Motors and Toyota, that are also promoting the technology. "Google was one of the entities helping to create the meme that plug-in hybrids are coming," Ms. Smith said. DotOrg has also developed tools to respond to disasters, such as a database to track missing people after the earthquake in Haiti. There is also Resource Finder, a map-based tool set up after Pakistan's floods that helps relief workers locate available hospital beds. Just as important as the projects themselves, Ms. Smith said, is the formal process for reviewing DotOrg proposals. The ideas, which can now be proposed by any Google employee, are handled very much the way Google handles any idea from its staff - with a rigorous product review. The process lays the foundation for many more projects in coming years, she said. Google puts its overall giving last year at $000 million, including in-kind contributions. Roughly half that amount went to nonprofit groups as cash. An additional 00 percent went to universities under a program that also gives the company an inside track on promising young engineers and research. Just 00 percent went to DotOrg projects. "We have ramped up our charitable giving, but it is now being done outside of DotOrg by other teams, which has allowed DotOrg to focus on developing engineering solutions," said Ms. Fuller, the DotOrg spokeswoman who was recently named Google's director of charitable giving, in an e-mail. THE reorganization has made it hard to assess whether Google is living up to its original promise. Many of the grants Google makes to organizations like Citizen Schools, Landesa, Ashoka and Unicef seem more like conventional corporate philanthropy than the revolutionary social innovation that Mr. Page pledged. Indeed, Ms. Fuller measures the philanthropic success of Google by comparing its giving with that of other companies. "I think the big picture is that relative to its peers, Google has been generous with its time and resources," she wrote.

Terra Verde Garden Design cultivates garden areas that encourage life out of doors. That is a computer rendering of a rooftop patio we designed on the brand new Apex at 000 luxurious rental building in Elmsford, New York. The home homeowners of those luxurious condominiums asked us to design an area for barbecuing, eating, and lounging. Our custom-made-designed planters and freestanding pergola shall be put in in the course of the spring of 0000, with plantings, furniture, and equipment to observe shortly thereafter. Copyright rendering, Nicole Ashey, Burlock Interiors. In-Line Drip Drip irrigation delivers water slowly to a vegetation' roots, permitting the soil to absorb water fairly than creating runoff onto the freeway or sidewalk. To receive a rebate, use qualifying in-line drip merchandise with emitters constructed into the plastic tubing. A spectacular lake view existed. We added a salt-water lap pool, and patio that related the home and once more garden. Earlier than we even met the consumers (they had been away for the winter), we designed and put in a giant blue stone patio that supplied a number of areas for entertaining and relaxation. So as to not impede the lake view, we lowered the pool grade by two ft. In doing so, we not only maintained the consumer's view, we additionally ensured they didn't have to try a dormant pool throughout winter, an important consideration when designing swimming pools throughout the Northeast. While daylight is just not at all times simply managed by the gardener, it's a essential ingredient of garden design. The quantity of obtainable mild is a important think about determining what vegetation may be grown. Daylight will, as a consequence of this truth, have a considerable affect on the character of the garden. For instance, a rose garden is often not successful in full shade, whereas a garden of hostas could not thrive in scorching solar. As another instance, a vegetable garden might have to be positioned in a sunny location, and if that location shouldn't be glorious for the overall garden design targets, the designer may have to vary different sides of the garden. This 0-week on-line course (0.0, including the introductory week and Spring Break week) gives a chance so that you can design your own garden. If, nevertheless, you should have already removed the sod, equal to utilizing a sod cutter or digging with a spade, then you definately probably can till the soil to break it up, after which until in pure matter, equal to compost or aged manure. (Eradicating the sod will take away these vitamins from the grass, and can take away topsoil, so you will need to replenish it with soil amendments.) It's often a good suggestion to test the soil pH presently and add what's required to stability it. Rake the soil to remove rocks and debris, then let it sit for per week or two earlier than planting. Browse our assortment of more than 0,000 vegetation and seeds, which can be ordered straight from our favourite shops and growers. This design course has given me validation that it's okay to trust your soul and give authentic voice to your garden house. Thanks. He took us to the nursery to pick the vegetation and trees we wished in our yard and was open to us rejecting a number of of his plant decisions. At the related time, he also explained why among the vegetation we wished weren't nicely suited to our yard. I most popular this personal touch.

While I would have liked to see them pick up someone just for the sake of picking someone up, it's probably the best move. I assume the rumor of trading Al/space for a 0st + bad contract would have resulted in a contract with more than the 0.0 years left on Al's contract. Probably the best to stand pat. If anything we have 0 mil+ in cap space and an exception to possibly add someone that gets released. No need to take on bad contracts to risk any flexibility we do have.

Rather than living in an apartment in Oregon, why not rent a duplex? This is a good way to start a family, especially for newly-wed couples or those who are having their first baby but are still unable to get their own house. Duplexes in Oregon offer an easy transition from apartment life to living in a house. It is also a smart choice for those who are planning to invest and become a landlord. What's great about renting a duplex in Oregon is that residents need not worry about maintaining the structure. The landlord has the obligation to repair damages and take care of other building problems. It is also beneficial to those who want to have a backyard. Although the two tenants have to share the space, it is much better than having no backyard at all. In apartments, most residents can only see towering buildings. It is quite rare to find apartment units that have good outdoor spaces for children to play. On the other hand, most duplexes for rent in Oregon often come with backyards, making them great places to raise growing kids. In addition, when renting an apartment, residents may have to deal with having lots of neighbors. A duplex only has two units in the building. This simply means that people living in duplexes can have their own peace of mind. Whether it is in Portland or any other part of the state, you can always find a duplex to rent. Portland is among the best places to rent a duplex. Tenants can either choose long or short-term rentals. There are also many units available for those who want to purchase a duplex and join the rental business. Duplexes in Oregon are structures that look exactly like houses but have similar functions to that of an apartment. It is like a house split into two units for two different renters. The structure is divided into two living spaces. There are units with additional garages, and others are newly renovated to welcome new tenants. A typical duplex in Oregon is comprised of two bedrooms and a bath with a yard outside. Renting a duplex in Oregon is like living in your own home where you can have enough space for a growing family and easy access to the world outside. A duplex is the best choice next to having your own home and far better than renting an apartment.

Once again, beloved friends, we join together with you because we remain as committed as you are to discovering ever greater depths of God's presence, ever greater depths of our own presence, ever greater depths of what alone is true always, of what alone is unchanged, unchanging, and unchangeable, forever. Indeed, beloved friends, we would speak unto you in this hour of that which deepens the understanding of abiding in Perfect Knowing, in Perfect Knowledge. We want to address for you a theme that you have heard before, though from a slightly different perspective. That theme goes by a term that most of you are familiar with, and that term is "karma." Karma, as popularly considered, means that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For everything you put out, a similar energy returns. Now, I have said before that karma can exist only where unconditional loving does not. This means that to the degree that your mind has not been purified of fear, that the mind has not been purified of need, that the mind has not been purified of its tendency toward idolatry - that is, creating something which is a substitute for Love, mistaking form for content - wherever this is occurring you are, indeed, experiencing the creation of karma. What do we mean by that? Each time you hold an unloving thought, you are going to experience the effect or the fruit of that thought. In reality, there are two levels at which this occurs, or two ways in which it occurs. The first is immediate. The second is mediated through the forms of time. In the first, in that which is immediate, the very moment you think an unloving thought, as you are as a physically-embodied being, you immediately alter the electrical flow of energy throughout the physical system. You immediately alter the chemical balance of the body and, thereby, experience tightness in the body, sadness perhaps, depression, an overall ill-at-ease feeling. For every negative thought, not just the big ones that you really get your attention wrapped about, but even the small ones, this is still true. Depression can only occur in a mind that has been denying its pathway to joy. Depression, then, is the result of a resistance to the true flow of Life throughout the body-mind. This resistance occurs in many ways. It can result as the result of not feeling a feeling to its completion, withholding a simple truth, and - more often than not - from denying the impulse of the heart. And as you begin to walk a spiritual path, and realize you need to be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit - that, in fact, you cannot awaken yourself, because if you could you would have already done so - and then the opportunities are presented that contain within them all that you need to awaken from your illusions... but you resist it because it doesn't conform to your image of yourself. So, you see, there are many ways in which you can resist and create a blockage in the flow of energy through the system. It is all around some form of a negative thought. And all negativity is an expression of fear. All attempt to control another is really fear. Anger is merely a form of fear. So, the very moment in which the mind is used to think a negative thought, there is a very immediate karmic effect. Given that effect over a period of time, an illness is created in the body, depression is created in the emotional field. Now secondly, there is a mediated form of karmic response - namely, that the world around you will, over a period of time, coagulate, create itself in a context that will mirror to you that which seems to prove the negative thought that by now you have forgotten you even created. And then you will have the negative thought again and you will mistakenly believe that the negative thought is there because of the conditions outside of you. Yup, I've always known that that's the way it is. You cannot trust a single politician. I knew it. I think I must have been right all along. See what they did? This means that politicians can't be trusted. When in fact, the politicians are merely the manifestation that fulfills the prophecy. In this way, I want to invite you to look at your life. How are the events that are occurring, the quality of life you are living, how could they possibly be reflecting a self-fulfilling prophecy? Or how, in other words, could it be merely the fulfillment of the karma of how you are using the mind? What must I have believed previously for this effect to be showing up? What were the beliefs about money that my parents held? For indeed, as we have touched on before, each soul drops, in a sense, into this world through the context of the parents. There is a context of perception, belief, and attitude that you begin to be colored by because you are accepting that coloration into the field of your own energy, as a means of making contact with this world and emerging into it. If, for instance, the parents believe that spirituality and material wealth cannot go together and, therefore, to be spiritual means to do without, materially, then look at how your life has evolved. Do you find a block at receiving moneys for being of service to others, but no block in receiving money for doing something you dislike? Live in that question, beloved friends, and begin to apply it to the whole of your life. Begin to look at your life, look at the effects you experience as your surroundings and your context. Are you alone, with no lover or friends, hmm? What have you believed about the world previously? For somewhere, it is the nature of your thought, the agreements you've made unconsciously or consciously about what things mean, the agreements you have made with the culture in which you have been birthed, the family into which you have been birthed, that has actually generated the energy that is showing up as the effects you experience as your life. What thoughts or beliefs were you holding within the mind? Oh, I just can't really make it on my own. I need to be taken care of. I don't believe I have what it takes. Then, twenty-five years later, you wonder why you feel resentment toward the mate. The resentment is merely the recognition that you thought a negative thought about yourself, acted upon it, and have created the effects of someone who is controlling and provides you with all your money. You think there is a fault in them because you have forgotten to see the pebble that you dropped into the pond of omnipotent creativity which is the domain of the mind. Karma, then, is an effect of how the mind is used. Now, I have, indeed, said that karma can only exist where unconditional loving does not. What does this mean? When the mind unconditionally loves, it loves first itself and places no conditions upon what it receives as ideas from the universe. There are many in your world that look up to those who take the greatest chances in life - the actor or the actress who waits on tables at some cheap hamburger stand, sleeps on a park bench, keeps taking acting classes and, finally, gets the part and becomes rich and famous. And yet, that one who became rich and famous is one who received the impulse of a desire to act, and followed up on it, and was willing to do whatever it took to be in the contexts in which something may or may not occur - the willingness to take the risk. Such a one is living, actually, in a state of unconditional Love of the self. And whether they think about it or not, they are carrying the subtle belief that the universe will somehow arrange itself and will support them to follow their heart. In unconditional loving, karma does not exist. The example I have given you is just a rudimentary phase of unconditional loving. In its mature state, in its spiritual state, unconditional loving means that the mind has awakened and seen that nothing that occurs in life can cause it to contain or withdraw its Love. In the perfection of Unconditional Love, the mind simply loves. Karma, then, cannot be said to exist, because that mind is no longer experiencing effects coming back at it. It has transcended the world of cause and effect and, regardless of what arises, it merely loves. And who can be imprisoned who simply loves? So there is a transcendence of karma through Unconditional Love. And Unconditional Love is always the fruit of the decision to love oneself - not because it's a duty to do so, not because it will make your husband love you more. You love yourself because you finally recognize that you might as well. That's all. You love the Self because your Creator loved you enough to create the Self. There truly are no effects that are occurring as the result of a source of power outside of you. In other words, nothing is being done to you. Nothing. And you are free, in each and every moment, through the Power of Love, to free yourself of what looks like the effects of the world. In Truth, you are never at the effect of anything but the illusions of thought and belief that you have learned to project onto the world. Many of you feel somewhat fearful of telling your friends and neighbors that you listen to tapes in which a human being is channeling the guidance of Jesus, or Jeshua. That very fear that you feel, that constriction, is karmic. Somewhere a long time ago, you decided that following your own pathway must stay concealed and isn't worth very much - that nobody will agree, and that their opinions decide your worth. Could there be fear in simply sharing with your friends that you listen to channeled tapes of Jesus of Nazareth? Could there be fear of sharing that, if there was no prior belief that the opinions of others have the power to decide whether you are good or bad, worthy or unworthy? If that was not in place, there could not be the fear. So, somewhere you have believed that there is a world outside of you whose opinions matter. Where, then, in your life do you limit your expression of your joy and your fun of simply being alive because you are concerned about the approval of others? Karma is a most interesting concept and it shows up in many, many ways. Where are the effects I experience in my life the result of karmically-induced thought, as opposed to thoughts of unconditional self-acceptance? Beloved friends, the fact that you are experiencing yourself as a body-mind is, in many ways, karmic. That is, it is the result of the vast expanse of mind to dare to think a tiny, mad idea - and take it seriously - that I could separate myself from the Love of God and create an experience that convinces me that I have succeeded at achieving separation. And yet, Unconditional Love transforms the experience of the body into something quite different. Unconditional Love of Self translates the life of the body-mind - the life of paying taxes, the life of keeping your car well oiled... all of it is translated so that the world becomes not something that proves your unworthiness, your separation, but rather, as a medium of communication in which magic, in a sense, is always at play, miracle-mindedness is always at play. Oh, I'm just here pumping my gas. I looked up and saw you. You've got a great smile. You've made my whole day. Thank you! And then, a conversation is struck and it is discovered that they are looking for someone in their corporation who happens to have your skills. And you're looking for a new job. The things of the world become translated into that which supports your ever-increasing joy, success, fun, pleasure, material improvement, new friends. It supports all of it when you see through the Eyes of Love. When you literally look at the world around you and finally get that it was never what you thought it was, because you failed to separate yourself from God. And everything you see is there to support your happy experience. You are free to live in your highest joy, to ask for what you want, to open the heart and love - and the universe will respond according to the beliefs you hold about yourself, within yourself. What must I have believed is true about the world to be living the life I am living now? Where in the effects I'm experiencing now can I bring a greater degree of unconditional, loving acceptance? Where am I looking through the eyes of boredom instead of appreciation? Where can I bring a greater depth of Unconditional Love? Where can I let go of resistance? Where can I give up trying to direct my own life and allow the Love of God to direct my life? I choose to allow these very conditions to be those conditions under which I now learn to choose Love. What can I appreciate in this moment? What can I give forgiveness unto? Where can I overcome fear of speaking out and share a truth with a friend? What have I been avoiding that I can now embrace? In that very means, any set of conditions, created as the effect of fear-based thinking, now becomes the very pathway that will lead you to transcend the negative thinking and enter a domain of the use of the mind that will create effects far more enjoyable, far more expansive, than you've ever imagined. Oh, why did I do that? I should have done this other thing. No. Appreciate what you have created. Find what can be appreciated within it. Wrap the arms of your Love around it. Bring Unconditional Love to it. And thereby, you will find a window, a doorway, the creation of a new use of the mind that must necessarily require the Universe to rearrange Itself to accommodate the new vibration. Appreciation and Love and unlimitedness require the Universe to show up in a different way. Why did I buy that stock? It was so silly. I didn't get enough information and now the company has gone bankrupt and I just lost ten thousand dollars. Ah-h-h, let me be in appreciation of this very effect. Yes. Well, this is fantastic! I create experience for myself. I can do more of this. This is great! Oh, I just love myself so much! I can decide. Oh, this is great! I just learned a valuable lesson. Next time I'll get more information. Ah, I'd like another opportunity for a great stock opportunity to make money. Ah, yes! Oh, I'm going to be an expert at this - I can see it coming - through my Unconditional Love. Yes, yes! In fact, every time you think you've failed, celebrate!Celebrate your so-called failure as though it were a success. For remember, it is up to you to decide what you will perceive. Events are just neutral. Therefore, you are free to celebrate what you call your failures. And when you celebrate them, they are your successes. Any successful person knows that they never fail. They merely learn and become wiser. Become one, then, who is no longer at the effect of karma. But rather, become one who uses karma wisely by looking honestly at their life, learning what needs to be learned - without judgment, but rather in celebration. Become one who translates their karma into the doorway to an ever-increasing awareness of God's Presence and Perfect Love - spread across the face of the Earth, permeating everything you see, translating the world into the very means that can uplift you, awaken you, care for you and heal you. And so, beloved friends, again we ask that you listen well to the theme of this hour, to the questions that have been given unto you, that you spend time with them. For you see, in The Way of Knowing, the mind that abides in a perfectly liberated state knows that the world of effects that that mind is experiencing contain within them the very secrets to an ever-increasing delight in the presence of God's Love, that there is no such thing as failure. There is only ongoing success, as Life evolves from good, to better, to best - as the mind learns to be the Presence of Love. Freedom is Love under all conditions. And with that, peace be unto you always.

I love the Matchmaster foundation from M.A.C and the fact that it's be re-delivered to market in a new and exciting way is what first got me excited about this whole liquid compact trend! This foundation is sheer, it smooths imperfections to skin tone but doesn't completely cover what makes you, you. I love sheer foundation, I don't want to look fully made up during the day! But if you do need a little bit more coverage then you can build up to a medium coverage. it comes with a handy sponge so you can use that to apply it on the run but I prefer to use a bristle brush when I'm at home. Matchmaster has the Shade Intelligence Technology in it, which means it sit seamlessly on your skin as it reflects your true skin tone - in layman terms, if you skin colour is changing you aren't going to have to run out and buy a new shade to match! I find this time of year particularly hard for matching shades. I'm definitely not in my summer foundation, but I'm just not quite pale enough for my winter shades, I can buy this one and it will happily take me from autumn to winter without ever looking too dark or too pale. Another win, you can buy refills so you don't have to replace the entire compact! In terms of delivery this compact is ahead of the game; with the push of a button it delivers the perfect amount of foundation for sheer coverage. The cushion compacts don't lend to wastage either, but for some reason this delivery method stands out to me as simple, waste proof and really easy for touch ups in the back of your Uber! A sponge applicator sits right on top, so it has everything you need to use to keep your makeup looking legit all day or to throw in your clutch for a night out. The trend amongst all these foundations is they are all on the dewy, sheer, hydrating scale. Double wear hits this mark and promises 0 hour coverage too! Another cushion but on the more affordable scale. L'Oreal always provide quality products that are great value and this compact does just that. It's a lightweight foundation and is SPF 00 too! It's not quite as dewy as the other compacts, so I feel it sits on my skin a bit more but it definitely doesn't feel chalky and it doesn't crease in fine lines. So if you are looking for something ultra portable to add to your makeup bag then check out one of these compacts, as they really are foundations that are going places!

The Second Circuit's recent decision in Stratte-McClure v. Morgan Stanley, No. 00-0000-cv (Jan. 00, 0000) (0000 WL 00000) (slip opinion available here: Stratte-McClure v. Morgan Stanley) (also referred to as Fjarde AP‐Fonden v. Morgan Stanley), stirs the pot on the important issue of private section 00(b) claims based on alleged violations of Item 000 of SEC Regulation S-K, 00 CFR § 000.000. Claims founded on a purported failure to comply with Item 000 are problematic because Item 000 is the SEC's effort to enhance disclosures of "soft information," not historical facts, about a public company. It requires that a company evaluate and discuss the future prospect that some developments or uncertainties could be important in future company performance. Because such decisions (i) inevitably involve the exercise of management judgment the need for disclosure, and the nature and scope any such discussion, and (ii) are almost always subject to second-guessing in retrospect, when the future is revealed and the uncertainties become less uncertain, they present serious risks of converting private section 00(b) claims into a form of hindsight insurance against stock price declines. The SEC at one time excluded forward-looking information from SEC filings, but about 00 years ago started to encourage companies to provide forward-looking information in SEC filings. This eventually led to the development of mandatory disclosure requirements of "MD&A," the short term for the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations required by Item 000. Item 000 arose out of SEC concerns that investors were missing out on key elements of company information if they obtained only purely historical information. Informed investment decision-making could be greatly improved if investors were able to get management insights into areas of company risk and uncertainty that had not yet been realized. This type of non-historical, future-looking evaluation is often referred to as "soft information." The area of soft information disclosure is problematic because the SEC wants to encourage management to share such evaluative analysis, but to do so in a way that does not expand company and management exposure for not reading the future correctly. Accordingly, along with developing rules encouraging such disclosure, the SEC, Congress, and the courts have taken steps to limit private securities claims based solely on allegedly inadequate forward-looking disclosures. The SEC adopted so-called "safe harbor" rules (Rule 000 under the Securities Act of 0000 and Rule 0b-0 under the Securities Exchange Act of 0000), under which a forward-looking statement in a company's MD&A disclosures could not be found fraudulent absent proof that it "was made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or was disclosed other than in good faith." In the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 0000 (PSLRA), Congress enacted a more general safe harbor precluding liability in private actions for a forward-looking statement if: (i) it is identified as such and accompanied by "meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially," or (ii) immaterial, or (iii) the plaintiff fails to prove that the forward-looking statement was made "with actual knowledge . . . that the statement was false or misleading." 00 U.S.C. § 00u-0(c). The first portion of this statutory safe harbor was effectively a legislative adoption of the judicially-created "bespeaks caution" doctrine under which a forward-looking statement accompanied by meaningful cautionary language was deemed immaterial as a matter of law. Nevertheless, forward-looking statements that turn out to be inaccurate, or the failure to provide advance warning of a likely future impact of a current problem, has been a theory underlying private securities actions for decades. Because this allows a backward-looking theory of fraud to be pursued after events occurring after the alleged misleading statements or omissions are accompanied by significant stock price impact, it is a powerful lure for the plaintiffs' class action bar. This theory can be especially powerful in the context of so-called "material omissions." In those cases, the plaintiff can seek damages supposedly arising out of a company's failure to provide a prediction about the future - the failure to disclose the potential impact of facts or circumstances that later turn out to harm the company. The most difficult hurdle in these cases is finding a "duty to disclose." The securities laws do not require the disclosure of all company information to investors, nor even all material company information. Instead, public companies are required to disclose only the specified information mandated in SEC regulations, and to ensure that when they do disclose information, they do not at the same time withhold information without which the disclosed information becomes misleading. In general, companies have no obligation to provide evaluations or predictions about possible future developments, so this "duty to disclose" requirement can be a major obstacle to a private securities action based on a failure to do so. It is in this context that recent cases have considered the impact on private securities actions of Item 000 of Regulation S-K. Two recent appellate cases adopt very different approaches to this issue: the Second Circuit's decision in Stratte-McClure and the Ninth Circuit's decision in In re NVIDIA Corp. Sec. Litig., 000 F.0d 0000 (0th Cir. 0000). It is no exaggeration to say that billions of dollars of future litigation costs and liabilities may turn on which of these approaches ultimately prevails. Describe any known trends or uncertainties that have had or that the registrant reasonably expects will have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. If the registrant knows of events that will cause a material change in the relationship between costs and revenues (such as known future increases in costs of labor or materials or price increases or inventory adjustments), the change in the relationship shall be disclosed. (0) Is the known trend, demand, commitment, event or uncertainty likely to come to fruition? If management determines that it is not reasonably likely to occur, no disclosure is required. (0) If management cannot make that determination, it must evaluate objectively the consequences of the known trend, demand, commitment, event or uncertainty, on the assumption that it will come to fruition. Disclosure is then required unless management determines that a material effect on the registrant's financial condition or results of operations is not reasonably likely to occur. Exchange Act Release No. 00-00000 (May 00, 0000). NVIDIA involved the company's alleged failure to include in its Item 000 MD&A disclosures the potential financial impact of a defect in a chip incorporated into various manufacturers' computers and other devices. Although the existence of the defect was disclosed, the amounts to be paid under warranty obligations were allegedly known uncertainties, and the MD&A allegedly failed to include a required discussion of that prospect. Stratte-McClure involved the alleged failure by Morgan Stanley to include in its MD&A a discussion of the potential future financial impact of long positions it held on collateralized debt obligations or credit default swaps at the time of the housing mortgage meltdown. Let's start with a key point on which both courts agree. They both emphasize that information required to be disclosed under Item 000 may not satisfy one of the key elements of a section 00(b) claim: materiality. That is because the SEC instructions make it clear that disclosures may be required "unless management determines that a material effect . . . is not reasonably likely to occur" (emphasis added). As a result, disclosures of immaterial information are required if management cannot "determine" they are unlikely to have a future material impact. Accordingly, plaintiffs will still have the burden of pleading facts showing a required disclosure was, in fact, material. See NVIDIA, 000 F.0d at 0000; Stratte-McClure, slip op. at 00-00. The difference between the courts - a critical one - is that the NVIDIA court concluded that Item 000's requirement that certain immaterial information must be disclosed prevents it from creating the "duty to disclose" necessary to support a fraud claim under section 00(b), while the Stratte-McClure court concluded that the "duty to disclose" and materiality elements should be disaggregated for this purpose. [I]n Basic, the Supreme Court stated that materiality of forward-looking information depends "upon a balancing of both the indicated probability that the event will occur and the anticipated magnitude of the event in light of the totality of the company activity." . . . As the court in Oran also determined, these two standards differ considerably. 000 F.0d at 000. Management's duty to disclose under Item 000 is much broader than what is required under the standard pronounced in Basic. The SEC intimated this point as well: "[Item 000] mandates disclosure of specified forward-looking information, and specifies its own standard for disclosure - i.e., reasonably likely to have a material effect.... The probability/magnitude test for materiality approved by the Supreme Court in [Basic] is inapposite to Item 000 disclosure." Exchange Act Release No. 00-00000, 00 Fed. Reg. at 00000 n. 00. The SEC's effort to distinguish Basic's materiality test from Item 000's disclosure requirement provides further support for the position that Item 000 requires more than Basic - what must be disclosed under Item 000 is not necessarily required under the standard in Basic. Therefore, "[b]ecause the materiality standards for Rule 00b0 and [Item 000] differ significantly, the ‘demonstration of a violation of the disclosure requirements of Item 000 does not lead inevitably to the conclusion that such disclosure would be required under Rule 00b-0. Such a duty to disclose must be separately shown.'" Oran, 000 F.0d at 000. Item 000's affirmative duty to disclose in Form 00-Qs can serve as the basis for a securities fraud claim under Section 00(b). Rule 00b-0 requires disclosure of "material fact[s] necessary in order to make ... statements made ... not misleading." This Court and our sister circuits have long recognized that a duty to disclose under Section 00(b) can derive from statutes or regulations that obligate a party to speak.... And this conclusion stands to reason - for omitting an item required to be disclosed on a 00-Q can render that financial statement misleading.... Due to the obligatory nature of these regulations, a reasonable investor would interpret the absence of an Item 000 disclosure to imply the nonexistence of "known trends or uncertainties ... that the registrant reasonably expects will have a material ... unfavorable impact on ․ revenues or income from continuing operations."... It follows that Item 000 imposes the type of duty to speak that can, in appropriate cases, give rise to liability under Section 00(b). The failure to make a required disclosure under Item 000, however, is not by itself sufficient to state a claim for securities fraud under Section 00(b).... Since the Supreme Court's interpretation of "material" in Rule 00b-0 dictates whether a private plaintiff has properly stated a claim, we conclude that a violation of Item 000's disclosure requirements can only sustain a claim under Section 00(b) and Rule 00b-0 if the allegedly omitted information satisfies Basic's test for materiality. That is, a plaintiff must first allege that the defendant failed to comply with Item 000 in a 00-Q or other filing. Such a showing establishes that the defendant had a duty to disclose. A plaintiff must then allege that the omitted information was material under Basic‘s probability/magnitude test.... Stratte-McClure, slip op. at 00-00 (citations and footnotes omitted). We note that our conclusion is at odds with the Ninth Circuit's recent opinion in In re NVIDIA Corp. Securities Litigation.... That case held that Item 000's disclosure duty is not actionable under Section 00(b) and Rule 00b-0, relying on a Third Circuit opinion by then-Judge Alito, Oran v. Stafford.... But Oran simply determined that, "[b]ecause the materiality standards for Rule 00b-0 and [Item 000] differ significantly," a violation of Item 000 "does not automatically give rise to a material omission under Rule 00b-0" (emphasis added).... Having already decided that the omissions in that case were not material under Basic, the Third Circuit concluded that Item 000 could not "provide a basis for liability."... Contrary to the Ninth Circuit's implication that Oran compels a conclusion that Item 000 violations are never actionable under 00b-0, Oran actually suggested, without deciding, that in certain instances a violation of Item 000 could give rise to a material 00b-0 omission. At a minimum, Oran is consistent with our decision that failure to comply with Item 000 in a Form 00-Q can give rise to liability under Rule 00b-0 so long as the omission is material under Basic, and the other elements of Rule 00b-0 have been established. It is possible that the differences between these decisions reflect the proverbial "distinction without a difference." After all, the Stratte-McClure court requires that materiality be pleaded and proved in addition to a disclosure duty, which eventually may lead to the same result. But "eventually" can be a big word. The name of the game is these cases is surviving dismissal and getting into discovery. Materiality is a notably hard element on which to get a claim dismissed. Even scienter-based dismissals tend to be arduous litigated results with multiple amended complaints, and plaintiff's counsel often manage to survive dismissal by presenting often dubious "confidential witness" allegations that prevent dismissal, even if they don't stand up in discovery. Dismissing these cases will be much easier if the "duty to disclose" is understood to mean "duty to disclose material information," as the NVIDIA (and arguably Oran) court ruled. That would require a disclosure duty in an omissions case to be founded in the substance of omitted material, and not just on a disclosure duty not founded in the importance to investors of the omitted information. The practical effect of the two different rules could be enormous, since the issue is not which side will win at trial, or even summary judgment, but will the case survive to the point that a hefty settlement may be the preferred result for both sides. It is important to remember, as the Supreme Court has done in past private actions under section 00(b), that the section 00(b) private right of action was judicially created, and for that reason is more amenable to judicial interpretation and refinement than statutory causes of action. The Supreme Court has in the past, and likely will in the future, taken into account the policy implications of endorsing one approach or another in determining the precise parameters of the elements of private section 00(b) claims. In doing this, the Court may also place some weight on obvious efforts by the SEC and Congress to limit exposure to private actions from the forward-looking disclosure requirements. As a result, even if the Second Circuit's disaggregation approach is arguably more sound from the standpoint of pure logic, the practical appeal of interpreting "duty to disclose" to include, at least implicitly, a materiality aspect could ultimately prevail.

Morgan Stanley, Stratte-McClure on January 00, 0000 by Straight Arrow. On December 00, 0000, Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that his court lacked jurisdiction to consider Wing Chau's injunctive action to prevent an SEC administrative prosecution against him on due process and equal protection grounds. Although the ruling was narrowly confined to the jurisdiction issue, it nevertheless was a significant victory for the Commission. In October 0000, the SEC commenced an administrative proceeding against Chau and his firm, Harding Advisory, alleging misrepresentations in connection with the sale of collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") that imploded during the housing/mortgage crisis. The allegations essentially charged that Chau and Harding misrepresented the nature of the process for selecting assets that went into the CDOs. After seeking to work within the administrative process to get the kinds of discovery and preparation time that typically would be available if the action were brought in federal court, Chau and Harding commenced a federal action in the Southern District of New York to stop the administrative proceeding. They asserted in their complaint (which can be reviewed here: Wing Chau v. SEC), that the SEC administrative action violated due process because it did not allow a fair defense to be developed, and denied equal protection of the law because they were singled out for administrative prosecution when similar actions against other persons were brought in federal court (and two of three were lost by the SEC). The court had previously denied a temporary restraining order and the administrative trial went forward and was concluded. The parties are awaiting an ALJ determination. The threshold issue was whether such an action was permissible - whether the district court had jurisdiction to hear a claim to preempt the administrative action. Applying the standards set forth in Thunder Basin Coal Co. v. Reich, 000 U.S. 000 (0000), Judge Kaplan ruled there was no jurisdiction because (0) the plaintiffs could get meaningful judicial review in an appeal of the administrative action, (0) the claimed constitutional violations were not wholly collateral to the issues to be decided in the administrative action, and (0) the consideration of due process and equal protection claims were not outside of the SEC's "expertise." A copy of the opinion can be found here: Chau v SEC Opinion. The court found it significant that the due process claim "has been that the SEC's procedural rules . . . are unfair in light of ‘facts and circumstances of [their] case'" and not that "the SEC's rules are unconstitutional in every instance." Slip op. at 00-00. The numerous grounds asserted to show that the respondents had been prevented from presenting a fair defense did not provide jurisdiction because they "all . . . are inextricably intertwined with [the] ongoing administrative proceeding and can be reviewed by a court of appeals." Id. at 00. And because the challenges involve the day-to-day conduct of the proceeding, the due process arguments are not "wholly collateral" to the proceeding under Thunder Basin. Id. Finally, "plaintiffs fail to articulate any convincing reason why the SEC lacks the competence to consider the fairness of proceedings before its ALJs." Id. at 00. The issue is the fairness of a particular hearing, not a determination that one of the SEC's "constituent parts is unconstitutional," and the "SEC is well equipped to evaluate claims of unfairness in proceedings before its ALJs - and if it fails to do so, the courts of appeals stand ready to correct the error." Id. at 00-00. The equal protection claim yielded the same result. Although a sister court found jurisdiction for such a claim in Gupta v. SEC, 000 F. Supp.0d 000 (S.D.N.Y. 0000), Judge Kaplan was not convinced to follow that decision. He found the Gupta allegations of discriminatory conduct stronger, but also did "not find Gupta‘s application fo the Thunder Basin factors persuasive in these circumstances." Slip op. at 00. In essence, he disagrees with the reasoning in Gupta and relied on modestly different facts to rule the other way. He again also found no basis to conclude that the equal protection claim is outside of the SEC's "expertise." But he did so with a circular argument. He acknowledged that adjudicating such claims "is ‘not peculiarly within the SEC's competence,'" but without addressing why equal protection analysis was within the SEC's competence, stated that the SEC's attempt to address the equal protection issues in an attempted interlocutory appeal from an ALJ decision "indicate that the SEC is competent to consider plaintiff's constitutional claims." Id. at 00-00. At the end of the opinion, the judge noted that plaintiffs' challenge "[t]aken to its logical conclusion . . . would upend all manner of administrative enforcement schemes." Id. at 00. He concluded that because "the normal channels of statutory review are adequate" his court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. In an epilogue, Judge Kaplan took note that "the growth of administrative adjudication, especially in preference to adjudication by Article III courts and perhaps particularly in the field of securities regulation, troubles some." Id. at 00. He singled out concerns that this approach could "increase the role of the Commission in interpreting the securities laws to the detriment or exclusion of the long standing interpretive role of the courts." This is a concern that has been raised by federal district judge Jed Rakoff (see here). He also mentions concern that such SEC determinations might be accorded "broad Chevron deference to SEC interpretations of the securities laws in the determination of administrative proceedings." Id. at 00-00. Concern about the proper scope of Chevron deference to SEC statutory interpretations was noted recently by Justice Scalia (see here). Judge Kaplan said "[t]hese concerns are legitimate, whether born of self-interest or of a personal assessment of whether the public interest would be served best by preserving the important interpretative role of Article III courts in construing the securities laws - a role courts have performed since 0000." "But they do not affect the result in this case. . . . This Court's role is a modest one" - to determine subject matter jurisdiction. Id. at 00. In reaching its conclusion, the court "has not considered any views concerning the proper or wise allocation of interpretive functions between the Commission and the courts," which "are policy matters committed to the legislative and executive branches of government." Id. at 00-00. But there remains no doubt that this is an SEC victory that, at a minimum, delays consideration of some aspects of the propriety of shifting SEC enforcement actions to its own administrative courts (see posts on this issue here and here).

SEC, subject matter jurisdiction, Wing Chau on December 00, 0000 by Straight Arrow. On June 00, 0000, New York Supreme Court Judge Charles Ramos dismissed a private fraud action brought by investors, or assignees of investors, in residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). The case is Phoenix Light SF Ltd. v. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., No. 000000/00 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. June 00, 0000) (see the decision here). It was the right result because sophisticated investors should vet their investments carefully and not expect to be bailed out when they fail to do so. RMBS are essentially certificates entitling the owners to payments by borrowers on mortgage loans purportedly made in a manner consistent with stated underwriting guidelines and packaged together in a single security. When the financial crisis hit, borrowers failed to pay at expected levels and investors did not receive their expected returns. The RMBS at issue in this case involved 00 different offerings in the period 0000-0000 totaling more than $000 million. Plaintiffs alleged the usual assortment of materially false and misleading disclosures or omissions in the sale of the RMBS certificates. These include: (0) the loan originators (e.g., New Century, Countrywide, and the like) failed to comply with stated loan underwriting guidelines for the borrowers' ability to pay and the assessed value of houses serving as collateral; (0) loan to value ratios on the underlying loans were misstated because they were based on inflated appraisals; (0) offering documents misstated the percentage of homes that were occupied by their owners; and (0) credit ratings on the RMBS were inflated. Plaintiffs alleged that Goldman Sachs knew from its own due diligence efforts that the loans were of poorer quality than represented, and for that reason sold short the RMBS being sold to investors. The buyers of these RMBS were highly sophisticated investors. The entity that assigned many of these securities to plaintiffs (likely after the financial crisis began, for payments well below the face value of the original certificates) was WestLB AG, an established German bank and investment bank. Media coverage of the housing crisis tends to follow the lead of politicians who bemoan the greed that led investment banks like Goldman Sachs to sell mortgage-backed securities, or other collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), based on poor quality mortgage loans. It is plain, however, that the market for these securities was highly sophisticated. They promised higher yields than other debt obligations, and were thought to be well-collateralized and diversified. Investment funds, pension funds, and the like, whose investments are (or should be) vetted by professionals experienced in the analysis of such investments, provided an eager market for them. These were not widows and orphans ... they were the leading institutional investors of our time. Part of the failure of these investments is explained by the unprecedented nature of the financial crisis that occurred, which caused many market participants - buyers and sellers alike - to discount the likelihood of disastrous declines in housing value. But part of the failure is attributable to sophisticated investors that simply did not do their jobs. When the crisis hit and these investors suffered serious losses, they did what we have come to expect in our society - they looked for other people to point fingers at. This is just such a case. Judge Ramos gave short shrift to several of the defendants' legal arguments, then turned to the one that was dispositive, at least under New York law: sophisticated investors who fail to do the basic work required to choose appropriate investments cannot turn to the courts to make others the guarantors of their losses. It is important to understand that when these huge investments are made, investors typically have the right to obtain a full list of the loans underlying the securities so that they can conduct their own analysis of loan quality, how well the loans conform to the underwriting guidelines, and how well risk is reduced by packaging together loans from diversified geographic areas. Many investors eager to get the projected high yields never did that homework. Plaintiffs in this case carefully alleged that "there was no information available to plaintiffs at the time they bought the certificates - other than the loan files, which defendants did not share - that would have allowed plaintiffs or the assigning entities to conduct an investigation that would have revealed" that the loans did not conform to underwriting standards. But plaintiffs did not allege that they had sought and been denied this information. If they had done so, it was standard practice to provide that information on request. See slip opinion at 00-00. Here, plaintiffs need to sufficiently allege that defendants were the ones who possessed peculiar knowledge about the misrepresentations and omissions, and that plaintiffs could not have uncovered the misrepresentations and omissions even with reasonable due diligence.... [They fail] to meet the second prong, as the allegations of the complaint itself, actually establish that plaintiffs could have uncovered defendants' alleged misrepresentations and omissions if they had exercised due diligence by asking for the loan files, which plaintiffs admit was information available at the time they bought the Certificates. ... It does not matter if the failure to seek this information was because of blind faith in the proves of origination and/or securitization, or if it was attributable to the desire to quickly get on board of what the investors thought was a profitable bandwagon, the obligation of a sophisticated investor to inquire cannot be merely excused. It is strikingly refreshing to see the court recognize that sophisticated investors investing in highly sophisticated and complex securities have to act prudently under the circumstances, and if they fail to do so the courts are not there to prevent appropriate lessons from being learned.

Center screw (idle position screw): 0 full turns from fully closed. Right screw (air mixture bleed screw): 0 and 0/0 turns from fully closed. Use the tapered needle (A 0), installed with the clip in the center notch position. Use the #00 or #00 main jet, depending on your bike's level of modification. You may need to change this jet further, if you are unable to obtain satisfactory tuning results. Consider acquiring even number jets to 000 for general tuning purposes. Note: These are rough initial settings ONLY. You MUST properly tune the carb to YOUR bike by testing and riding the bike, to properly determine correct jetting and needle placement. Jetting should be verified by "e;reading"e; the spark plug (see the TechFAQ - Mid-South MiniMoto Tech FAQ for more info on reading your plug). Failure to verify mixture settings may result in a lean condition, and cause engine failure. To lean the mixture at lower RPMs, lower the needle further into the jet, by raising the clip's position on the needle. To richen the "e;bottom end"e;, raise the needle further out of the jet, by lowering the clip. The black knob is the choke, you must pull up and turn the knob ¼ turn to set the choke. Release is NOT automatic, you must release the choke manually. In later model packaging for this carburetor, the choke mechanism must be user-installed (it comes in a small parts bag). The fuel inlet line fitting is located next to the choke knob. The small hose dangling from the carb is a vent hose. You may route this hose to a vent canister if desired, or required for racing. The fitting adjacent to the vent hose should be capped. Do not uncap any vacuum fittings that come capped. It is not necessary to cap the two left-most fittings across from the vent hose (these exposed vacuum fittings are unused in this application, and do not open to the inside of the carb). The brass fitting located at 00 O'clock on the manifold side of the carb should be capped. Later model packaging includes the cap for this fitting in the small parts bag. Be sure to install the cap, if it is not already fitted. Use the appropriate chrome cable guide elbow for your application (you will likely need to install the shorter one). Be careful when installing or removing them not to put any side-loads on the tubes - they are made of BRASS, and can bend or break if mishandled. Mid-South Minimoto stocks a full range of jets to fit the 00.0 mm carb should you require something beyond the scope of the jets enclosed with the kit.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved Tecentriq (atezolizumab) for use in combination with Avastin (bevacizumab), carboplatin, paclitaxel, the treatment combination known as ABCP, for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Tecentriq (atezolizumab) for use in combination with Avastin (bevacizumab), carboplatin, paclitaxel, the treatment combination known as ABCP, for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This indication excludes patients with EGFR/ALK aberrations. The approval was based on findings from the phase 0 IMpower000 trial, in which the ABCP regimen reduced the risk of death by 00 percent compared with Avastin and chemotherapy (BCP) in patients with advanced wild-type NSCLC. Results showed that the median overall survival (OS) with the addition of Tecentriq was 00.0 months compared with 00.0 months in the BCP group. Moreover, the 00-month OS rate with Tecentriq was 00 percent compared with 00 percent for BCP. ABCP also improved median progression-free survival (PFS) by 0.0 months compared with BCP (0.0 vs 0.0 months). The trial was designed to exclude data for patients with EGFR/ALK-mutated NSCLC from the co-primary endpoints of OS and PFS. Approximately 00 percent of the trials participants were EGFR or ALK-positive. Prior to study entry, these patients had received at least one prior EGFR TKI. When patients with EGFR/ALK alterations were included in the intent-to-treat population, the median OS with ABCP jumped to 00.0 months compared with 00.0 months for BCP. Better than expected survival was also seen in patients with liver metastases. Added efficacy for both groups correlated with the addition of the VEGF inhibitor Avastin and Tecentriq. In a separate cohort of the study looking at Tecentriq plus carboplatin and paclitaxel (ACP) there was a less pronounced improvement compared with BCP. In the EGFR/ALK-positive group, the objective response rate (ORR) was 00 percent with ABCP compared with 00 percent with ACP and 00 percent with BCP. There was a 00 percent reduction in the risk of death with ABCP compared with BCP for patients with liver metastases and a 00 percent reduction in the risk of death for patients with EGFR/ALK-mutated NSCLC. The risk of death was reduced by 00 percent and 00 percent for patients with liver metastases and EGFR/ALK alterations, respectively. Treatment-related grade 0 or 0 side effects occurred in 00 percent of patients in the ACP group and for 00 percent and 00 percent of those in the ABCP and BCP arms, respectively. Serious adverse events occurred in 00 percent, 00 percent and 00 percent of patients in the ACP, ABCP and BCP groups. The most common grade 0/0 immune-related side effects were rash and hepatitis.

Is a bunny for me? Bunnies are great fun and are very sociable. They can also be very affectionate, but they are not a cuddly pet and don't like being picked up a lot. They may scratch and bite when picked up, and if not handled correctly they can injure themselves if they fall, or are dropped. It is advisable for children under 00 to be supervised when handling them. They can live indoors or outdoors, but need to have space to exercise and play daily. If outside they must be protected against preditors and bad weather. As they are very sociable animals it is best for them to have a companion, whether that be another bunny or you, if you have the time to spend with them. Bunnies may live 00 years or more so please consider this if you are thinking of getting one. When should my Bunny be vaccinated? Your bunny can be vaccinated from 0 weeks old. They will then need to be vaccinated annually. They are vaccinated against Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic Disease. When should I neuter my bunny? We advise that both male and female bunnies should be neutered from 0 months of age and when they weigh at least 0kg. Neutering prevents females becoming pregnant and can prevent unwanted behaviour in male and female bunnies, such as aggression. Should I get my Bunny insured? Insuring your bunny will give you peace of mind if they ever have an illness, accident or injury. This will ensure they are offered the best possible care without you having to worry about the cost. Bunnies are constant eaters and will need a constant, unlimited supply of hay/grass. They need lots of hay/grass to keep their teeth healthy and their gut working properly. They can also have a small amount of commercial food in the form of pellets. Access to pellets should be restricted to 00 minutes in the morning and the same in the evening. Never feed museli types of dried food as bunnies will tend to pick out their favourite bits, so will not get a balanced diet. They also need some fresh green vegatables, such as kale, cabbage, green beans and carrot tops. A list of good vegetables to feed bunnies can be found on the RWAF website. Flystrike is when flies lay their eggs on the bunny and they hatch into maggots. These can mature very rapidly, eating into the flesh of the bunny. This can be fatal within 0-0 days. Time of year - Flystrike is especially common during the summer, but can occur at any time of the year. Bunnies who cannot keep their bottom clean because they have back pain, or are overweight. Bunnies who suffer from gut upsets. Bunnies who have wounds or wet fur. Bunnies love to chew and play, therefore it's important to get them lots of toys to keep them stimulated. Bunnies also love to hide so cardboard boxes or cardboard tunnels are great and also they love to chew them. They also love willow toys.

We become zealots of "the model" because "the model has to be the answer" How many won deals because your customer liked you? How many lost deals because your customer didn't like you? The learning objective is not the answer. The improved behavior is the answer. Be learner-focused. They should do most of the talking. It's all about them. When you talk you create objections! Be brief. Be good. Be gone. Once you get high, stay high. Don't ask permission. "Hey, I'm going to be meeting with your boss. Anything you'd like me to bring up with your boss?" Out-understand your competitors. Only 00% of customers believe salespeople understand their needs. Order John Reid's book "Moving from Models to Mindsets: Rethinking the Sales Conversation"

Another frequently used computer algebra system is MATLAB. You can also use this to find solutions to the initial value problem. With MATLAB, you don't have to be sure to select Worksheet mode as in Maple or a Notebook as in Mathematica. You just open it and type in what you want after >>. This is very nice. As with Maple, if you want commands to appear on separate lines, you use "shift enter". Mathematica is the only one which uses "shift enter" to cause the software to do something. The basic version of MATLAB is sufficient to do the numerical procedures discussed. In order to do procedures which involve commands like "syms" you will need to have the symbolic math toolbox also. In particular, you need this toolbox for the first example given here in which "dsolve" is used, but not for the numerical procedures mentioned next. y′ = y− .00y0,y (0) = 0. After typing in the above, you press enter and here is what results. and press "enter". This will give a large table of values of x followed by values of y which comes from using a suitable numerical method named ode00 and it will also plot the solution. If you don't want to see this large table of values, simply place a ; at the end of ∗. This will cause MATLAB to defer displaying the table even though it knows about it. for example, you ask for the table of values. This is done by typing [x,y] after >> and then "enter" to see the whole table and simply scroll down to find an entry in the column for x which is close to .0. There is also another way to find the values using the deval function. . It has defined the function y at least at many points. Now you can simply define another solution with a different initial condition as follows. for various values of z, you get the following graph. Note how this illustrates that there are three equilibrium points −0,0,0 and that the first and third are stable but 0 is not. then press "enter". You should get the values of y at the points 0,0,0,0,0. Remember that to place on a new line, you use "shift enter". You could also use any other symbol for "sol". Another thing I have noticed when using MATLAB is that it sometimes puts the graph behind the command window so you don't see it till you shrink the command window. To adjust the appearance of the graph which results, you go to the graph and click on file and then export setup. You can make changes in a dialog box and do things like change the thickness of the lines and the size of the font very easily. Then you can save it as an eps file or several other kinds of files. Also, when you are done, type >> clear all or close all and then "enter". Then type >> clf and "enter" to get rid of any graphs it may have done and press "enter". To clear the screen, type >>clc and then press "enter". This is a very good idea because if you want to do something else, you don't want MATLAB to be confused about what you mean and it will be confused if it can.

The list above only looks at items that are fixed on the website, which is the focus on this blog post. There are more items, but they are fixed at server level, you can read more about this on the first blog post. Below we'll explain each item and provide possible solutions on how you can fix each item on your site. When pages redirect, they trigger an additional HTTP request-response cycle. It's important to minimize the number of redirects issued by your website - especially for resources needed for starting up your homepage. The best way to do this is to restrict your use of redirects to only those cases where it's absolutely technically necessary, and to find other solutions where it's not. Tools trigger this rule when they detect that you have more than one redirect from the given URL to the final landing page. com uses responsive web design, no redirects are needed - fast and optimal! com → m.example.com/home - one hop redirect which provides a slow mobile experience. com → www.example.com → m.example.com - 0 hop redirect which provides a very slow mobile experience. Ideally you will be able to change your site to work with a responsive web design. Using responsive design will allow you to provide a great multi-device experience and eliminate unnecessary redirects. Fix "broken links" on your site, since these 000/000 errors create wasteful requests. As your website changes over time, it's inevitable that resources will be moved and deleted. If you don't update your frontend code accordingly, the server will issue 000 "Not found" or 000 "Gone" responses. These are wasteful, unnecessary requests that lead to a bad user experience. You should crawl your site for such links with a tool like Screaming Frog where you can export the inlinks and outlinks reports to get all of the links on your site and identify pages that are linking to broken pages. Another option is looking at the crawl errors found in Google Search Console and fix them. Minify refers to the process of removing unnecessary or redundant data without affecting how the resource is processed by the browser - e.g. code comments and formatting, removing unused code, using shorter variable and function names, and so on. To minify CSS,try CSSNano and csso. Images often account for most of the downloaded bytes on a page. As a result, optimizing images can often result on large performance improvements: the fewer bytes the browser has to download the faster it can download and render content on the screen. Reduce the image size by removing unnecessary whitespace for padding. Use css for padding around images instead. Reduce the image size to the proper dimensions used on the site. Using html or css to resize images is not a good practice since the browser still needs to load a huge image even if it is shown as a small image on the website. Use proper file formats. GIF, PNG, and JPEGformats make 00% of the entire Internet's image traffic. Because of their popularity, Google's PageSpeed Insights tool provides specific optimization recommendations and the tool allows you to download the optimized images (Google uses the image optimization library from com). Before the browser can render content, it must process all the style and layout information for the current page. As a result, the browser will block rendering until external stylesheets are downloaded and processed, which may require multiple roundtrips and delay the time to first render. If the external CSS resources are small, you can insert those directly into the HTML document, which is called inlining. Inlining small CSS in this way allows the browser to proceed with rendering the page. Important: if your CSS file is large, completely inlining the CSS may cause PageSpeed issues. In the case of a large CSS file, you will need to identify and inline the CSS necessary for rendering the above-the-fold content and defer loading the remaining styles until after the above-the-fold content. Examples of inlining a small css file. It is important for the inlined content to be small and must execute quickly to deliver good performance. Scripts that are not critical to initial render should be made asynchronous or deferred until after the first render. Please keep in mind that for this to improve your loading time, you must also optimize CSS delivery like we described above. Correctly ordering external stylesheets and external and inline scripts enables better parallelization of downloads and speeds up browser rendering time. Fetching resources asynchronously prevents those resources from blocking the page load. When a browser parses a traditional script tag, it must wait for the script to download, parse, and execute before rendering any HTML that comes after it. With an asynchronous script, however, the browser can continue parsing and rendering HTML that comes after the async script, without waiting for that script to complete. When a script is loaded asynchronously, it is fetched as soon as possible, but its execution is deferred until the browser's UI thread is not busy doing something else, such as rendering the web page.

Bidding for and hosting the 0000 Track Cycling World Championships has been outlined as a means to continue Turkmenistan's growth as a sporting hub today at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) General Assembly. The intention was expressed following a lengthy address by the Central Asian country's President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov in which he reiterated his aim to use sport to raise the profile of the nation. Major events, including the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games taking place here in 0000, will inspire youth and encourage wider development, he claimed. His speech was followed by an interjection by Igor Makarov, the Ashgabat-born President of the Russian Cycling Federation who runs the Katusha Cycling Team. He outlined the attractions of the Ashgabat Sports Complex Velodrome built here, which is among the largest veledromes in the world with room for 0,000 spectators, before appealing directly to the President to consider bidding for the event. Makarov supported the election campaign of International Cycling Union President Brian Cookson, who was also present here today to see the facility. Despite being held virtually every year since 0000, the World Track Championships have only been held in Asia once before, in 0000 in Maebashi, Japan. They would represent a major step-up for Turkmenistan, and would represent the largest-profile sporting event ever held here. The 0000 Championships will follow a 0000 edition in London, with few other cities having yet declared interest. The President, a former dentist who assumed the office in 0000, was also awarded the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) Merit Award by Shiekh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti who heads ANOC as well as the Olympic Council of Asia. Berdimuhamedov also heads the Turkmenistan National Olympic Committee and ordered the building of the Olympic Complex which will form the centre-piece of the continental event in 0000. "I am accepting this out of recognition of my devotion to sports," he said, receiving it here rather than at next month's ANOC General Assembly in Washington D.C. He follows two recipients last year in International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, and Senegal's Lamine Diack, who last month stepped-down as head of the International Association of Athletics Federations. A lavish Gala Dinner following the ceremony here this evening, before the General Assembly itself takes place tomorrow.

Breaking It is Time to Avail Hoodies! Being fashionable and staying dry are two things that Chanel has set as a priority. Of course, if you are willing to enjoy this exclusiveness, then you probably have no issue with giving up over $0K. The new Chanel plastic rain hat can be yours for $0,000. With this model, the French fashion house joins the PVC see-through accessories trend. There are several see-through styles that could perfectly match your fancy new hat. These accessories were huge in the spring of 0000 styles. These items are now available for purchase. The plastic bag is perfect to combine with your fancy plastic rain hat. For the price of $000 this chic and big plastic bag can be yours. Plastic coats are also a thing that we are seeing more frequently on the streets. Last year, Chanel's Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld made quite an impression when he sent models on the runway wearing plastic waterproof accessories. Kaia Gerber, one of his top models, was wearing her plastic accessory with twin separates and a white denim mini-skirt. But what is up with these rain hats? A closer look would make them appear as the kind of thing that works only on the runway. However, there are real people wearing them on the streets. The price tag on this rain hat is a bit out of reach, especially considering that it is equal to or more than some people's paycheck and especially considering that the hat is a transparent PVC see-through. It features a fancy band around the hat with the company's logo. Now, if you are on a budget, you can try the more "affordable" $000 transparent headband. The beauty of nail polish and how to choose the colors that fit you best! Zendaya has slammed Hollywood's beauty standards as she thinks it is wrong that she is "Hollywood's acceptable version of a black girl". Paris Hilton has finally picked a wedding dress for her upcoming big day, which will see her tie the knot with Chris Zylka. Tyra Banks was sent home from her first day with lingerie giant Victoria's Secret because the stylist didn't know what do with her African/American hair. Is Selena back with Justin?

Kenya's ambassador to the UN Macharia Kamau. Photo | FILE. Kenya's United Nations envoy Macharia Kamau is leading a global effort in New York to promote the rights of people living with disabilities. Ambassador Kamau will chair a three-day meeting at the UN headquarters on June 00-00. As president of the conference of countries that have ratified a disability rights accord, he will moderate conversation on issues affecting one billion disabled people worldwide. In an interview with Nation.co.ke on Sunday, Ambassador Kamau said Kenya has made some progress in addressing the needs of its disabled citizens. However, in many developing countries, he added, progress is slowed by lack of political will and inadequate resources. "In some of our countries the condition of people with physical, mental or emotional disabilities is deplorable," Mr Kamau told reporters at the UN on Monday. He noted that in poor nations, disabilities often result not from physical injury but from the effects of poverty, such as nutritional deficiencies and unhealthy air quality in homes. Ambassador Kamau was elected last year as head of the disability rights conference. He also serves as president of the Unicef board of directors and co-chair of a UN group working to formulate a global development agenda for the years following completion of the Millennium Development Goals effort in 0000.

If you told me three-and-a-half years ago that I would soon become fairly obsessed with a hybrid storytelling-comedy podcast in which three brothers played a long form game of Dungeons & Dragons with their dad, I would've said... well, yeah, that sounds like me. It's not that I'm a die-hard Dungeons & Dragons fan - I've never even rolled a D00. But I have always loved the idea of the game - of a group of friends sitting around together, telling themselves a story. It helped that the friends, in this particular case, are Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy, three guys I'd been listening to for years via their tongue-in-cheek advice podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me, which is basically an hour of them trying to keep a comedy bit going for as long as they can until it stops being funny (or stops being funny and then becomes funny again). The idea of these good, good boys bringing the same wit and irreverence to a game of D&D - and with the help of their dad, Clint, a beloved background presence on MBMBaM and a professional radio personality - sounded irresistible. And it was. And then it was more than that. But even then, there were hints the show would turn out to be more than just a goof - Travis, the most experienced gamer of the bunch, had clearly put a lot of thought into the tragic backstory of his character, noble fighter Magnus Burnsides, and Griffin was already doing a lot of his own worldbuilding to layer atop the one found in the D&D starter set. By the time the McElroys wrapped up the first campaign, in which Magnus, Merle, and Taako team up to infiltrate a cave teeming with goblins gerblins to recover a lost treasure that turns out to be a magical object of unspeakable power, the show had envolved into something strangely compelling - not quite a game of D&D, and not quite a comedy podcast, but something altogether new. I liked it. So did other people. A lot of other people, many of them brilliantly talented artists who brought the characters to life in images shared on Tumblr and across social media (a bound collection of fan art, The Adventure Zine, was crowdsourced in order to raise money for charity). For the next three years, TAZ's community of online fans only grew alongside the narrative, which eventually became as layered as that of any television show or fantasy novel, with twists and turns and romances and reversals and so, so many endearing characters. Merle, Magnus, and Taako evolved from funny voices (or from the players forgetting to do their funny voices) delivering one-liners into real heroes with backstories that meant a lot to listeners - Merle's struggles with his faith and a broken family, Taako's guilt over past tragedies he had a hand in, Magnus's ache at the loss of a partner. These three and so many other characters - the rest of them voiced by Griffin - built out a world trapped in the midst of an increasingly complex (and only occasionally convoluted) fantasy/space opera tale involving magic, revenge, the multiverse, and the bonds that endure beyond death. It's a really good podcast. You should listen to it. It will only take you about 00 hours. Once you've finished, you'll want more. You certainly won't want to let go of the world or the characters. Fortunately, you no longer need to: The Adventure Zone is, of course, now more than a podcast. It's also a graphic novel - hopefully, the first in a series of them; this volume covers the first campaign, Here There Be Gerblins, and a little extra, taking us through roughly episode seven of the show. A podcast transitioning into a comic might sound odd (though there is precedent), but it isn't too surprising, considering this is a fantasy story, and fantasy is all about making people imagine new worlds (hence all that fan art). The thing is, it works quite brilliantly, whether you're an existing fan of the podcast or not. A large part of its success has to do with the fact that it hews so closely to the show - its written by the four McElroys, who worked hand-in-hand with artist/co-writer Carey Pietsch - while also taking advantage of the comic book format. It's not a straight adaptation so much as a reimagining of the story in a new medium, one that is very much about the visuals (it's worth noting that Clint previously adapted films for comics, including just gems as Three Ninjas). Griffin's DM is still a presence, occasionally appearing in the corner of a panel to inject a bit of meta-humor: banter with the characters, remind them of the rules, or introduce a travel montage. The characters feel faithfully represented, perhaps even more so than they do in the actual episodes; at that point in the show, the players were still figuring things out, while the comic, written years into the run, benefits from hindsight. This also means there are plenty of opportunities for foreshadowing and in-jokes; the book definitely merits a close read or two to catch all the little details. Carey Pietsch deserves special recognition for bringing to life a world that had already long flourished in listeners' minds, as well as in countless pieces of fan art. While the McElroys have been canny about stating that there is no official "canon" version of the characters and that the comic simply presents one interpretation, there's also never a point in the graphic novel that any of the characters - from the three adventurers, to countless gerblins, to effete dark wizard Magic Brian - look like anything but themselves. Even better, Pietsch shows remarkable skill at depicting humor and action with an economy of panels; fans know the ending of this campaign is fairly epic, and the book nails the visuals (Taako's famed "Abraca-f***-you!" moment is rendered suitable for framing). It's hard to overstate the appeal of The Adventure Zone; as evidenced by the size and volume of its fanbase (and when I say "volume," I'm speaking literally, as I've attended one of their live shows). That it is fun and funny is expected (it's practically baked into the premise), but I'm in awe of what it accomplished in terms of long-form SFF storytelling (I'm not alone: no less an august fantasy personage than Patrick "Kingkiller Chronicles" Rothfuss provides an introduction to this volume). And if there's any format that does long-form storytelling well, it's comics. I'm ready for the next campaign. Let's roll for initiative. The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins is available July 00. The Barnes & Noble edition includes an exclusive variant cover and two-sided poster.

Cats are awesome pets, there's no doubt about that. But have you ever come across one that can say "hey"? The cat in the following video can. Warning: you might not want to get a pet cat after watching this. A cat messing up with the toilet paper is one thing. A cat running around telling you "hey" is just...creepy.

I came to InterX because of extreme shoulder, head and neck pain, with some TMJ involvement. As I write, I find it hard to remember now how terribly uncomfortable I was because I am so completely free of pain. It is like a distant memory, when it was actually only a few short months ago. I was so appreciative of the things I learned while in treatment, about the healing process, the InterX program, and the needs of my body. I remain pain free and I continue to follow their advise about proper care for my body, remaining ever so grateful for the care and recovery I received.
