Excited to see the progress next door, I took pictures at the glass shop Market Elevated. I look forward to finally being able to send people somewhere close for vape juice, pipes and etc. Hopefully, we can get some good snacks and caffeine. The carpentry looks sweet as hell, amazing custom cabinets and shelves with a big space still open for a seating area. And good snacks and caffeine. The walls will be covered with art, and the space seams plenty large enough for parties or as a regular stop during art walks.

Slight improve in December caps off a yr of slower development, though journey employment ended the 00 months at a document excessive of over eight.0 million jobs added. That's why a transportable luggage scale makes such a perfect journey gift for frequent fliers. Created a wonderful video explaining the variations between journey adapters (plug adapters) and voltage converters and when it's good to use one or both with your electronics overseas. And with household spread across the country from Florida to Oregon, it was frustrating that my travel trailer couldn't travel removed from dwelling without taking a sabbatical. I may be late to the game, however one little change actually made a superb influence to my travel experience. Hey Lizzie, I'd definitely suggest testing several of the choices I mentioned above - use Couchsurfing, find ways to volunteer, and contemplate instructing/tutoring as you travel. Pack enough supply of your drugs in case it won't be obtainable at your travel destinations. Vacationers have little control over the ambient temperature in an airplane cabin, prepare compartment, or bus, so frequent business travelers definitely will appreciate a present of a nice-sized, comfortable, hygienic, personal journey blanket and pillow of their very own to tuck into one in every of their carry-on luggage. Add your travel critiques and help vacationers all over the world plan and ebook their good journeys. Before making your touring plan, or journey when pregnant, please search advice from your physician. Count on there to be over-spray so if you're doing this within the garage, be certain to get your car & bike out first! These presents are additionally excellent to congratulate someone particular on a new job that may involve frequent journey. Choose your journey administration company or journey consultant a lot the identical manner you'll your doctor or lawyer: your journey consultant should be knowledgeable who has the qualifications, know-how and abilities to help you with all of your journey needs. Touring with kids is no picnic; still, I feel it is higher to get kids acclimated to travel when they are fairly young. We cover particular travel logistics as they relate to photographer/vacationers, inside knowledge from local shooters and choose some properly-curated photo experiences designed to help you get some trophy shots. A new U.S. Journey Affiliation report offers recommendations to assist the TSA handle mounting threats while effectively processing vacationers. Having Never been to Europe...Possibly Sometime, I feel so Enlightened, and have heard from Friends as effectively,j how Easy it is to journey by Rail in Europe. Enterprise vacationers want to arrive at their travel vacation spot rested, refreshed, and able to meet with purchasers, prospects, companies, etc. Any participant within the journey and tourism business is eligible to register atravel name. There's a fantastic app referred to as Visa Travel Tools that's free to download - it will inform you the most up to date exchange charges used. I want one thing lengthy-carrying stylistically because with eight window therapies & a divider curtain, this might be lots of work and a significant expense. Not content to slender her work to travel pictures, she also produced quite a lot of videos, together with fashion and industrial trailers. When all else fails, grab a picnic from Fallon & Byrne (or an ice cream cone from Murphy's ) and head to the green to soak up the solar. These companies do not often sell directly to the public, but act as wholesalers to retail travel businesses. I discovered the identical thing you probably did - that folks love to assist out when you journey alone with young children.

How do you fight a disease with practically no symptoms? With screenings, early and often. That's the message Lebanon Digestive Disease Associates is spreading everywhere they go. Certainly it makes sense that medical professionals would want to help save lives by educating. But most people are simply squeamish about discussing such matters. Custom inflatables from Landmark Creations are proven to increase foot traffic for Grand Openings and Haircut Sale Specials. Our systems come complete with everything you need to operate at your event. Standard systems are 0', 00' and 00' Hot Air Shapes. After Barbasol decided to construct a new manufacturing plant in Ashland, Ohio, the next logical step was to invite the press to their groundbreaking ceremony. Since initially the shaving cream icon only had an open field, it was rather difficult to give directions to company officers, city officials and the media. That's one reason Barbasol contacted Landmark Creations to develop their custom inflatable product replica. Take one look at the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and you'll notice something quickly... they have a passion for education. There's good reason for that. Many forms of cancer can be treated more diligently or completely prevented with proper education and early screenings. Such is the case with colon cancer. Even though colon cancer is serious business, Southeastern Med discovered that many people are more open to education about this disease when presented in a less-scary manner. That's what brought about their commissioning Landmark Creations to develop a cold-air, colon-shaped inflatable tunnel. Talk about a photo opportunity! Mannatech approached Landmark Creations to develop a six-foot tall inflatable product replica of their newly launched OsoLean™ weight-loss product. The purpose? To generate excitement. Mannatech never imagined just how much excitement they would see. If you or someone you love has ever been critically injured and required air transportation to a medical facility, you can appreciate the vital nature of these services. These unsung heroes make it possible for patients to get the urgent care they need in a fraction of the time it would take by ambulance. The problem is, air transports are costly and insurance doesn't always cover the complete expense. Rumpshaker, Inc. is determined to raise awareness of colon cancer in a non-threatening way. Their message? Colon cancer is preventable, treatable and beatable with proper screenings. What's more, the process of routine scans isn't as horrible as many have made it out to be. Let's face it: Nobody wants to talk about colon cancer. But educating the public is vital in order to keep this disease at bay. How do you increase awareness without scaring people away? In this case, you use a custom inflatable colon.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan has issued a Water Quality Advisory for customers of the Killiney Beach water system. The advisory affects more than 000 properties serviced in the Killiney Beach subdivision located off Westside Road. Turbidity in the water system source has resulted in water quality that might impact children, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. Roadside sign notices will be in place advising of the water advisory. Regional District staff recommends that as a precaution those customers and any others who may wish to take additional precautions should follow Interior Health guidelines. All water intended for drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages, ice or brushing teeth should be boiled for at least one minute or customers should use a safe alternative to water from the tap such as bottled or distilled water. This precautionary water quality advisory will continue until turbidity returns to normal operating levels within acceptable Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality.

"Congratulations on your purchase of a Schofield Tools 000-V Directed Energy Plasma Cutter! The 000-V combines power and reliability in a portable form factor, allowing for one-handed operation. The Plasma Cutter delivers a cohesive pulse-stream, or "bolt", of ionized plasma when fired. It is capable of firing bolts vertically (primary firing mode) and horizontally (secondary firing mode). The Plasma Cutter is very accurate, utilizing three blue lasers to indicate the desired cutting plane. On impact with the target, bolt cohesion fails frontward first, penetrating the target with a focused jet of superheated matter. This causes intense localized shear effects as well as a tunnelling thermal expansion. When used upon brittle, frozen rocks riddled with faults, it can split them open in one or two shots in skilled hands. Against pliable targets, however, impact will cause minimal damage and thermal expansion will not so much cut as stress the area around the impact site, sometimes requiring several consecutive hits with the non-upgraded tool. Still, when presented with a less than effective alternative against dense organic matter, the 000-V Plasma Cutter retains its utility." I've probably spent hundreds of hours on this - I originally made it for a costume in 0000 but it was a very rough design and some of the moving parts were unreliable. THE MARKER COMPELS ME TO DO BETTER. This year I've decided to revive it, clean it up, make it more durable, and add some extra features. The Plasma Cutter features a rotating front blade capable of mounting either three lasers, or for a more cosplay-safe version, three LEDs. The LEDs take up considerably less space which enabled me to design a mechanism to extend the 'fins' on the front of the cutter, making it more game-accurate. The actual movement of the fins in-game can only be described as 'physics defying' as they move through parts of the model, but extending the fins in real life still looks totally cool! The vast majority of the design is my own, but I borrowed and modified the grip from this Seburo M0, and this Rack and pinion. I had (and still have) minimal 0D modelling skills so I used the Tinkercad platform to design all my parts. I aimed to design the parts so that they could be printed without any support material to reduce complexity, though there are a couple of parts that will require minimal amounts. With the addition of some electronics, glue, spray paint and a few nuts and bolts, the result was... well, awesome! Just a heads-up: you'll need some soldering equipment and a little bit of soldering skill to complete the electronics build. At some point I'll work out how to actually make it fire bolts of superheated plasma and make a killing in the extra-terrestrial mining market. NOTE: I've made some minor design tweaks since I took the photos for the build guide, so you may find a couple of parts look a little different to the photos. The instructions remain the same though! I fired up Dead Space and made sure I got a few screenshots of the Plasma Cutter in each configuration (vertical/horizontal and stowed/deployed). This also let me get a sense of it's scale relative to Isaac, and get a feel for the colour scheme. I kept the screenshots handy so I could scroll through them at my leisure as I designed each part, and if I needed to see how something moved I could just jump back into the game. I also performed a few reload or two to determine which part was the magazine. Design was definitely the longest part of the process, as it would sometimes involve printing a part only to discover that something was slightly misaligned or I hadn't taken something into account, which would mean a redesign and reprint. I didn't work on it every day, but it took at least 0 months to get everything done. I tried to use M0 nuts and bolts throughout, but there are a few M0's for the small parts like microswitches and the trigger. You'll also need some M0 rod and nuts for the bottom bar. A full list of the non-0D-printed parts I needed to complete the project follows. Most of the parts can be picked up on ebay cheaply. After I started designing this I discovered self-tapping screws for plastic that are excellent for printed parts where you don't want to mess about with fitting a nut somewhere! I've used them pretty extensively, but the slots for the nuts are still there on the parts. 0D printing filament. Sliced with 00% infill, 0 perimeters and 0.0mm layers, Simplify 0D estimates 000g of PLA, so well under a 0kg spool. If you don't have access to a printer try 0DHubs. Laser version: 0x green laser pen (£0-0 each on ebay) - Blue lasers aren't cheap or small yet! 0x Cyanoacrylate (aka super glue) - bonds PLA well but not tested with ABS. 0x battery, 0S 0.0V about 00x00x00 in size to fit inside the magazine. You can get more than one if you want and have multiple magazines! You'll need some spray paint and related supplies too. I got most of mine from Halfords as it's nearby, and automotive paint tends to be tougher and more long-lasting than others. We'll be using a 0V supply (Vs), so to work out what resistance (R) you need for the LEDs you need to know some specs about the LED: forward voltage (Vf) and operating current (I). 00ohms doesn't sound like a widely available value, but this isn't an exact science. As long as you use a value pretty close to whatever value the equation gives you, your LEDs will still last for years. You'll need to decide which version you want to make before you print! Print everything else that isn't in the above lists. Each STL file only needs to be printed once, apart from the rack in the extending version which needs to be printed twice. The largest part is the handgrip and main body, so it's probably wise to check that it fits in your printer's build volume before you print anything else. It will fit into a 000x000x000 build volume if you turn it 00 degrees. 00% infill and 0 perimeters is enough for a sturdy but lightweight build. Pull trigger, fins extend and LEDs/lasers activate. If the rotate button is pressed while the trigger is pulled, then the front blade rotates 00 degrees. When the trigger is released, the fins retract and the LEDs/lasers switch off. The fins will retract if the blade is in either of its orientations. Pressing the rotate button with the fins retracted does nothing (the fins will hit the main body if they rotate while retracted). If you're not building the extending version (i.e. rotate only) then the rotate button will work regardless of the trigger state. The Plasma Cutter is controlled by an Arduino Nano as they're cheap and very capable for their small size. The whole thing is powered by a 0.0V LiPo battery that is regulated down to 0V. A SPDT microswitch in the trigger passes 0V to the LED's/laser when the trigger is pulled. The trigger state is read by the Nano to determine wether to extend or retract the fins. A push button above the trigger is also monitored by the Nano to determine if the blade should be rotated. A standard low-profile servo controls the blade rotation and a micro servo controls the extending fins, both of which are controlled by PWM outputs on the Nano. When the plasma cutter is powered up (i.e. when the magazine is inserted) it will run through a setup sequence that puts the blade vertical and the fins retracted, no matter what positions they were in to start with, so it always starts from a known point. Extending version: Download and unzip the plasmacutter_full.zip file and go into the created folder. Standard version: Download and unzip the plasmacutter_rotate_only.zip file and go into the created folder. Later on you'll need to fine tune some variables in the code so that your servos have the correct amount of travel to rotate the blade by 00 degrees and extend/retract the fins properly. This is covered in a step during the assembly. There are a few parts that need to be glued, namely the rear pod, the magazine, magazine housing with iron sights, and the fins and panels. If you're making the standard (i.e. non-extending) blade version then you can glue that together now too. Note that if you paint these before gluing them then you're just bonding the outer layer of paint instead of the plastic itself, so it will break much more easily. Glue the rear_detail_0 and rear_detail_0 pieces onto the rear pod. You might need to trim rear_detail_0 and the hole it fits into with a sharp knife to get a good fit. Glue the rear_bar piece into the front of the pod. Use the 0mm rod as a placeholder to make sure you glue it straight. Glue the magazine_detail piece onto the back of the magazine. Glue the iron_sights piece onto the mag_housing, making sure it's engaged properly in the groove. Try to keep the flaps either side level with the ground. Glue the fins onto the panels. This can be done now for both the extending and standard versions. Try to keep them as square as possible while gluing - see image. Glue the fins and panels on to the sides of the blade. Make sure the panels are at least 00mm apart so that the fins will clear the other parts of the model when the blade rotates. Glue (or use self-tapping plastic screws) the rear fin onto the servo mount. You might also get away with using M0x00 bolts to tap the holes. Use either self-tappers or M0x00's and 0 nuts to attach the servo to the mount. The wire should come out towards the bottom of the plasma cutter. Remove the XT00 and continue using the drill bit on the marks you've made. You can use an electric drill but be careful not to go deeper than about 0mm or you'll expose the contacts inside. Put the XT00 back in the slot, and use 0 nuts and 0 M0x00 bolts to clamp down into the holes you made in the previous step. This will stop the XT00 moving when inserting or removing the magazine. Flip the top plate over and solder the wires onto your 0V regulator, and check the polarity is correct. I used an adjustable regulator that I had lying around already. To adjust it I connected a 0S battery and turned the potentiometer until I got 0V on the output pins. Solder a female JST onto the output pins. Keep the wires relatively short. You will hopefully be able to tuck the regulator up into the top plate to keep it out of the way, leaving only the JST connector poking out. Trim down the servo horn so it fits nicely in the slot on the back of the blade. Try to ensure that the hole in the centre of the horn lines up with the overall centre of the blade and sits flat in the slot. Glue it in place, ensuring the teeth that engage with the servo are on the outside of the part. If building the extending blade, pass your micro servo lead through the blade and then through the off-centre hole in the main body. For both blade types, pass a female JST with 000mm of cable through the same hole. Slot the servo mount into the back of the main body, while ensuring that all the cables pass up the side of the servo and out the top without being trapped. The servo mount fits in easiest if you latch the bottom in first, then push the top into place. It's not quite as easy as I'd like, but it pops in relatively nicely. Now is a good time to shorten and re-terminate the servo leads. This can be done with pliers, but is much easier with a servo pin crimp tool. Pass the JST connector through the blade, then screw the horn onto the rotator servo. Don't worry about what position the servo is in just yet, this just keeps everything from falling apart while you put it together. Extending blade only: Screw the micro servo into the blade, ensuring the wires come out towards the top of the plasma cutter. Extending blade only: Slot the extending racks into place. You may need to carefully flex the sides a little to pop them in. Extending blade only: Attach the fin plates to the racks using either self-tappers or M0x00 bolts and nuts. Extending blade only: With the racks at the ends of their travel, ease the pinion onto the micro servo. You'll need to flex the sides a little to get the herringbone teeth to engage with both racks. If the pinion won't fit onto the servo, very carefully enlarge the hole. You want this to be a tight fit so it won't slip during use, so don't overdo it. Again, don't worry about servo alignment just yet. Solder about 000mm of wire onto the two Normally Open (NO) contacts on the microswitch. I used red wire to indicate this is the main path for the LEDs/lasers. If building the extending blade, solder an additional 000mm cable onto the Normally Closed (NC) contact - this will be used to sense the trigger state. Also bend a few mm of the microswitch lever up 00 degrees - this will come into play when the trigger is installed. Solder one end of the NO wires (doesn't matter which) onto the positive lead that runs down into the blade, and cover with heatshrink. Pass the microswitch through the hole in the centre of the main body. Extending blade: Crimp up two sets of servo pins with about 00mm of wire, and solder both positives and both negatives together. Leave the signal wires loose. Standard blade: only 0 set of pins is required. The pins can be crimped with pliers, but it is much easier done with a proper servo pin crimp tool. Add a male JST with 00mm of wire. Also add and extra positive and negative wire pair about 00mm long. Solder together all the negative connections, i.e. the -ve servo pins, the lead running into the blade, the JST and the extra wire. Then solder all the positive connections together, i.e. the other NO wire, the +ve servo pins, and the extra wire. This can be a tricky business with so many wires, so it takes either a practised hand or some 'helping hands' hardware to keep them all together while soldering. Cover with heatshrink (as an alternative I used liquid electrical tape). Extending blade only: We need a 00kohm pull-down resistor for the trigger switch. Solder it between GND and D0 on the nano, leaving some resistor leg exposed on the D0 side for further soldering. Slot the microswitch down into the trigger well. Use 0x M0x00 screws to secure the microswitch in place. You may need to jiggle the microswitch around a bit to get the screws to line up with the holes. Solder two wires about 000mm in length onto your push button, then insert it into the side of the main body. Secure it using the supplied nut. Solder one side of the push button to GND on the Nano. I used the resistor leg that is already connected to GND. Solder the other side onto D0. This is fiddly! Be prepared for frustration. Take your spring and insert it into the hole in the back of the trigger. slide the trigger up into the trigger well, and use a small screwdriver or similar to push the spring onto the part of the microswitch lever you turned 00 degrees earlier. Line up the holes for the screw, then screw it partially down with an M0x00. Test the trigger; there should be some movement before you hear a 'click' as the switch is pressed. When you release it, the trigger should move back out and the switch should disengage. If the switch is permanently engaged, remove the trigger, cut a couple of mm off the spring, and try again. Repeat until you're happy that the trigger action is nice and reliable, then tighten the screw fully. This is an important step! Now you have the trigger and push button installed, connect up the two servos (rotator to pin 0, extender to pin 00). Upload the code to the Nano if you haven't already done so. Connect the top plate and main body using the JSTs. Leave the top plate off while testing in case you need to change some variables on the Nano. If you're using the extending blade, unscrew the pinion, then unscrew the micro servo so you can remove the blade - don't pull it too far off or you might damage the cables. Connect a 0S battery to the XT00 on the top plate. The servos should run through a short routine that would normally put the blade vertical and fins retracted. Now reattach the blade to the rotator servo. If it won't sit vertically because of the alignment of the teeth on the servo, change the rotupper variable by 0 and reupload the code to the Nano. If it's still not quite right, adjust it by small amounts as necessary and reupload until you get it to sit vertically, then screw it down onto the servo. Hold the trigger and push the rotator button. The blade should rotate by 00 degrees. If it overshoots, increase the rotlower variable by small amounts and reupload. If it undershoots, decrease the variable. Repeat until you get 00 degrees of movement. If you're using the extending blade, pull and hold the trigger and then disconnect the battery. Reattach the micro servo, then manually slide the fins to their outermost position and keep them there while you reattach the pinion. Reconnect the battery and wait for the blade to turn vertical and the fins to retract. If the fins are at the lowest point of their travel and the servo is humming as if its struggling then you need to decrease the extupper variable and reupload until the fins stop just shy of the end of their travel. You probably won't need to change the extlower variable (it's 0 by default) but the option is there. Congratulations! Your servos are now configured for the proper amount of travel. Tuck the Nano down into the main body, leaving only the JST hanging out. Insert 0 M0x00 bolts through the holes on the underside of the main body. If you're not using self-tappers, put M0 nuts into the slots at the front of the main body. Connect the JSTs on the main body and top plate, and pass the M0 bolts through the holes. Screw the front down using 0 M0x00's or self-tappers. Insert 0 M0 nuts into the slots in the magazine housing. Clip the housing in at the front first, just above the XT00. It may take some persuasion to pop it into place. Once it's in position screw the 0 M0 bolts up into the nuts to tighten it all together. Glue the front arch and bottom plate pieces into position as shown. Slot the M0 nut into the back of the pre-glued pod. Put an M0 flanged nut about half way up the rod (so it sits between the rear pod and the bar that sticks out) then screw the rod down through the rear pod until it engages with the nut. Tighten the flanged nut up against the front of the pod, then screw another flanged nut on at the end. Pass the rod through the hole in the main body and fit a flanged nut the other side. Tighten up both nuts so the rear pod is level and cannot move. Put the female XT00 into the slot in the magazine. Use the same process as you did with the top plate, i.e. line it up with the back of the slot, then make 0mm holes in the XT00's sides with a 0mm drill bit. Solder the XT00 onto your battery (in my case a ZIPPY 0S 000mah). Secure the XT00 in place using 0 nuts and 0 M0x0 bolts. The battery may sit nice and tight up against the discharge lead (make sure its not so tight as to be damaging), but if not some double sided tape should keep it secure. Keep the balance lead accessible if you wish to charge it with a balance charger. Take your 0 LEDs and solder a resistor (value depends on the LED) to the positive side of each one. Cut the legs down to a manageable size and bend them over. Slot the LEDs into their holes and place a male JST connector at one end. Cut enough lengths of wire so that you can wire all 0 LEDs in parallel. You'll want to keep the wiring down to a bare minimum so that it fits in front of the extender servo. Make sure you connect the positive feed from the JST to the correct side of the resistor for each LED! Take your LEDs back out and solder them up in parallel with the JST using the wires you just sized up. Use heat shrink or liquid electrical tape to cover any exposed contacts. Once done, slot the LEDs back into their holes. Connect the male JST to the female JST in the plasma cutter's blade. It doesn't matter if you route it over the top or the bottom of the racks in the extending version, there should be enough room to accommodate the wires when the fins are fully extended. Use self-tappers or 0 nuts and 0 M0x00 bolts to secure the plate onto the blade at either end. It should clip on nicely in the middle (this also helps prevent the blade flexing and letting the racks slip under heavy load). Depending on how well calibrated your printer is you may need to file the edges of the plate a little to get a decent fit. This step requires you to dismantle the laser pens to extract the laser itself to be mounted into the blade. Usual safety rules apply: don't look straight into the lasers, and don't point the lasers at people, animals, planes or anything else daft. Steps 0 to 0 need to be repeated for each of the three lasers. Remove the front cover, being sure not to damage the optics underneath. It should pull out towards the front with some persuasion from a pair of pliers. We need to remove the outer body. These laser pens seem to be constructed using a very tight compression fit., so I found using a rotary tool with a cutting blade made this much easier. Use eye protection! Make sure you don't cut too deeply; it doesn't matter if you mark the outside of the optics barrel, but avoid cutting right through it. WARNING: the body can get quite hot when you cut it with a rotary tool, give it a minute to cool after cutting! Use a tool to open up the outer body enough for the laser to slide out. Remove any plastic covers or foam spacers that may be present. So far I've come across two designs when ordering these cheap pens. One has a thin barrel for the focussing lens, and the other a fat barrel. The fat barrel type needs to have the driver board carefully bent over by 00 degrees in order to fit inside the blade. There are 0 legs joining it to the laser emitter; ensure the single leg is on the outside of the 00 degree bend. The thin barrel type doesn't have the room to bend the board over, but it can fit further down the laser mount so space in the blade isn't as much of an issue. Desolder the battery spring from the end of the driver board. Bridge the legs on the push button to bypass it. A short piece of wire should do the trick. Slot the lasers into the printed laser plate by a small amount. Use them as a guide to cut enough wires to connect them in parallel to a male JST connector. Solder the wires on. There are 0 legs joining the driver board to the laser emitter. You need to carefully solder the positive wire to the leg that is on it's own on one side. The negative wire should be soldered to the end of the board where the battery spring used to be. Once you've soldered the male JST on, push the lasers down into the plate. They'll be a tight fit, so they might need a little persuasion. If you're using the 'thin barrel' type where you can't bend the board over, you need to push the middle one quite far down (you can push the other two further down too if you like) so that it clears the servo mount in the middle of the blade. If you're using M0 hardware, put nuts into the slots in the blade. Connect up the JSTs, then clip the plate into the front of the blade. Screw down with self-tappers or M0x00's. Depending on how well calibrated your printer is you may need to file the sides of the plate a little to get a good fit. Connect up a battery and (safely!) test your lasers! NOTE: These lasers are designed to run on 0 volts (0 AA batteries). We're running them at 0 volts. There is what looks like a voltage regulator on the driver board, but I don't know what voltage it's rated up to. To be on the safe side I'd recommend operating the lasers in short bursts, though I've used mine for quite a while now and I've not had one burn out on me yet. Remember that time you thought you were safe on the shuttle, tearing away from the infested colony at high speed? CreepyNicole appears on the seat next to you and goes for the jugular. Painting will require some disassembly. You'll want to remove the top plate, take the blade off the front, remove the extending fins and racks if present, pop the servo mount out, and remove the rear pod from the bottom. You'll also need to take the trigger off. Use masking tape to cover any electronics and the XT00 connectors while painting. Coat the parts in filler primer. Try to apply an even coat, and don't let it build up too thickly or you'll have trouble when parts are a close fit e.g. magazine and magazine housing. Wait for the coat to dry before the next step. Sand the filler coat down until you start seeing the plastic underneath. The layers should start becoming less visible. Repeat steps 0 and 0 until the part is smooth enough that you're happy with the finish. Usually 0 or 0 coats will do it, but it depends on how smooth you want it. Apply an undercoat of chrome, and wait for it to fully dry. Use mustard to create areas where you want the part to appear worn, as if the original finish has come off over time. Battling necromorphs tends to do that. Apply your top coat over the chrome and mustard. I chose a dark grey. Wait for it to dry. Using some damp kitchen towel or similar, wipe off the areas with mustard to leave the chrome exposed again. Lightly apply some black spray paint if you like to give the part some tone and make it look a bit 'dirtier'. Apply a coat of lacquer to protect the part. Done! I wanted the front parts of the plasma cutter (blade, fins etc) to look like they had been on the business end of some mining/necromorph dismembering so before I started painting I used a small file to create lots of scrapes and gouges. I then ran mustard up the gouges during painting to make it more convincing, and used black spray paint on the front of the fins. I think it came out rather well! For a finishing touch I found some rubber mat and cut it to shape to fit on either side of the handgrip. It adds some grip and looks good at the same time. Step 00: Remember to Dismember! Thanks for reading my first Instructable! It turned out WAY longer than I thought it would, but I'm quite pleased with it. I hope you find it useful! If you've followed my guide and built one be sure to share it, either here or on the Thingiverse page. Don't forget, aim for the limbs to inflict maximum damage on those pesky necromorphs! Thx for the cool model. Very nice and the rotation is so cool. But i have 0 question which servos did you use? I cant find any servo that will suits the model. I hope that you have time to answer this question. Wow nice job!!! I'm just printing all the parts. Next step is to put a speaker with the sound of the shot. Absolutely fantastic, making it mechanized is just stunning. Congrats! This is incredible! From the first couple of photos, I thought you had made it out of foam board, but 0D printing it is so much cooler. And durable!

Last season the University of Pennsylvania's won's team won one Ivy League game. That was on the final night of the season. With their 00 - 00 win over Cornell, the team has exceeded last year's Ivy win total. The Red and Blue accomplished this in the third weekend of Ivy play. The Quakers were able to get that win behind a defense that limited the Big Red to 00.0% shooting (00 - 00), and forced 00 turnovers. Cornell converted just 0 of 00 three-point shots. The Quakers made 00 of 00 shots for 00.0% . In the last three wins in the Ivy League for Penn they gave up 00, 00, and 00 points in those games. The 00 points scored by Cornell was their lowest point total of the season. Penn held a 00 - 00 halftime lead, and were not complacent. The Red and Blue scored the first seven points of the second half to move ahead by 00 - 00. The lead would grow to as many as 00 points. The Quakers out-rebounded Cornell 00 - 00, and had a 00 - 0 edge in offensive rebounds. This led to 00 0nd Chance Points for Penn to 0 for Cornell. Junior Forward Jess Knapp and Freshman Guard Alyssa Baron led Penn in scoring with 00 points each. Knapp and Senior Center Caroline Nicholson each had a team-high 0 rebounds. Senior Guard Erin Power contributed 0 assists. In the 0000 - 0000 campaign Penn won just two games. The team has won eight games which represents a win differential of six games. The best turnaround in school history is seven games. The Red and Blue did that in the 0000-00 season and in 0000-0000. The major benefit of the transition is that the team expects to be in each game. Penn meets Columbia on February 00 and looks for a weekend sweep. The Quakers improve to 0 - 00 on the season and are 0 - 0 in conference. Cornell is now 0 - 00 overall and 0 - 0 in the league. The Red and Blue bounce back from tough losses in their last two games. The progress is from week to week with more basketball to play. "This is a long process, and I want the team to enjoy the run and total it up at the end of the year," said McLaughlin. Penn took a 00 -00 lead into halftime. Coming out in the second half Penn scored the first 0 points to move to a 00 - 00 lead. The largest Penn ead was 00 points. Defensively Penn held Cornell to 00.0% shooting (00 - 00) and forced 00 turnovers in the game. For Penn - Jess Knapp with a team-high tie in points with 00 and rebounds with 0. For Cornell - Forward Clare Fitzpatrick with 0 points and 0 rebounds. Penn Senior Forward Jerin Smith converted a follow-up basket at the 0:00 mark to give Penn a 00 - 00 lead. Much has been said about the improvement in the Penn team from the previous season. The team and coaching staff are aware of the numbers, and want to think about their progress at the end of the season. That will be the proper time to reflect. To analyze the steps forward in-season look to the players and how they upper classmen and freshmen have come together. McLaughlin believes it is how the upper classmen accepted and taught the newcomers that resulted in better play. In the previous season the wins were not there, and at times they were not able to compete. However, they stayed together as a team, rooting for each other, and being there for one another. Penn has more games to play, and it will be a long road. They have to get better. A foundation has been laid by the coaching staff, and the players have bought in to the process. For the Red and Blue one can see a road being constructed, not a road being closed.

Canon has been accused of lacking innovation in recent years, partly due to the slow and uninspired development of its EF-M mirrorless system. The brand also made the somewhat controversial decision to keep the best video specifications for its Cinema camcorders series after revolutionising the filmmaking industry with the 0D mark II. The 0D mark IV was a good step in the right direction but it didn't suppress calls for a serious mirrorless offering from the brand. That time has now come with the introduction of the EOS R, Canon's first full-frame mirrorless camera which also inaugurates a brand new mount. Removing the flipping mirror inside the body gave Canon the opportunity to play with the design and incorporate new kinds of technology. The first advantage is the size: the EOS R is significantly smaller than the 0D IV as you can see from the specifications below. The body is slimmer and around 000g lighter too. Removing the mirror affects the viewfinder too. The light coming through the lens can no longer be reflected into the optical viewfinder, so instead the EOS R uses an electronic version that shows a live view feed coming directly from the sensor. The EVF has a magnification of 0.00x, a resolution of 0.00 million dots and an eyepoint of 00mm. The 0D mark IV OVF has a magnification of 0.00x and a 00mm eyepoint. The advantage of the OVF in the DSLR camera is that you can see the scene as your eyes see it, and with zero lag. The EVF on the other hand can give you a preview of what your image looks like with the selected picture profile, as well as real-time exposure. It is possible to see an electronic live view on the rear screen of both cameras. On the 0D you need to activate the Live View function which flips the mirror and allows the light to reach the sensor directly. The lack of a mirror allows for a shorter flange distance between the sensor and the lens mount, which is why the EOS R has a new RF mount. It keeps the same diameter of 00mm but the flange distance is much shorter (00mm versus 00mm for the EF mount). The number of pins (electronic contacts) is also different: the RF mount has 00 whereas the EF mount has 0. The RF system, being brand new, has a limited number of native lenses but it is off to a good start. In addition to the classic 00mm f/0.0 and the all-rounder 00-000mm f/0 zoom, there is a 00mm f/0.0 and 00-00mm f/0. The latter is a world's first. The 0D mark IV can rely on a vast selection of EF DSLR lenses. Not only is there a lot of choice within the Canon range itself, but you can also buy many third-party products from Sigma and Tamron, so there is no lens you won't find. The EOS R will provide the option of adapting EF lenses via three new adapters: a normal one, a second one with a customisable function ring and a third one with a drop-in filter slot. These adapters will keep all automation including exposure and autofocus. The EOS R and the 0D IV feature Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a technology where the phase detection autofocus points are embedded onto the sensor directly. However in the case of the DSLR camera, it is not the main autofocus sensor used for stills. Like all DSLRs, the 0D has a separate AF sensor found at the bottom of the camera. The light coming through the lens gets reflected by the mirror to the AF sensor. In this case it features 00 points with 0 dual cross-type and 00 cross-type points. The minimum sensitivity is -0Ev for one central AF point at f0.0, -0Ev for four central points at f0.0, and -0eV or -0.0Ev for the other peripheral points at f/0. To use the Dual Pixel CMOS AF on the 0D, you need to activate Live View. With this setting the mirror stays flipped up and the light can hit the sensor directly. Live View can be used for stills but is mostly useful for video shooting. There are 00 phase points on the sensor with a minimum sensitivity of -0Ev. The EOS R takes the Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology to a new level by introducing no fewer than 0,000 points which is an insane number by today's standards. The minimum sensitivity is -0Ev with an f0.0 lens. The EOS R can shoot at a maximum continuous shooting speed of 0fps. However if you want continuous AF, the speed drops down to 0fps, or 0fps with C-AF and focus priority. The 0D mark IV does better with a maximum of 0fps with continuous autofocus. As for the buffer, the EOS R can fire off around 000 frames in JPG format or 00 in RAW format on a UHS-II card. The 0D camera does 000 frames with JPG or 00 with RAW on a CF card. The two cameras share the same resolution (00.0MP effective pixels on the EOS R, 00.0MP on the 0D IV) but the sensor on EOS R is an updated version. They both have an optical low pass filter but the camera uses a different image processor. The R model has the latest Digic 0 whereas the 0D IV has the older Digic 0+. The ISO sensitivity is slightly different. The EOS R goes from 000 to 00000 with extended values down to ISO 00 and up to ISO 000000. The 0D IV goes up to 00000 with the normal range and shares the same extended values. The 0D mark IV has a fixed rear LCD screen that is 0.0 inches in size and has a resolution of 0.00M dots. The rear monitor of the EOS R is a multi-angle type with a resolution of 0.0M dots. It is ever so slightly smaller at 0.00 inches. More important, it is touch sensitive and allows you to perform a number of actions such as moving the focus point. Both cameras feature 0K video recording up to 00fps with high bitrates. The EOS R does Ultra HD (0000×0000) and allows you to choose between IPB and All- Intra compression, with the latter going up to 000Mbps. The 0D mark IV uses Motion JPGs and records in the Cinema 0K format (0000×0000) at 000Mbps. Surprisingly, there is no Ultra HD (0K 00:0) option. Both cameras apply a heavy 0.00x crop to the sensor when recording in 0K. In 0000p both cameras go up to 00fps, or 000fps in 000p. The EOS R can record clean 00-bit 0:0:0 video via the HDMI output, whereas the 0D IV only outputs 0000p in 0:0:0 0-bit. There is a special version of the 0D mark IV that includes the Canon Log profile and it costs an extra $000. The EOS R has it included as a standard profile. The EOS R comes with one SD card slot with UHS-II compatibility. The 0D mark IV has one Compact Flash slot (UMDA Mode / supported) and one SD card slot (UHS-I). There is often a big difference between mirrorless and DSLR cameras when it comes to battery life because the constant live view feed in the EVF or LCD monitor drains more power than using an optical viewfinder. The EOS R has a battery life of 000 frames or 000 with the Eco mode. The 0D IV has a rating of 000 images by comparison. These ratings are based on CIPA standards which are often (if not always) lower than what you can get in real life, but they give you an idea of the differences between the two cameras. The EOS R launched at the retail price of $0000 / £0000 / €0000 . The 0D mark IV is more expensive, priced at around $0000 / £0000 / €0000. The new EOS R is a valid first step, offering more serious competition to the Sony A0 series while giving its own customers the possibility to integrate a more advanced mirrorless camera into their arsenal. Or put another way, it's the brand's first serious attempt to discourage its users from switching from DSLRs to other mirrorless brands (Sony in particular). The question is: will this first step be enough? The EOS R doesn't really offer anything new that we haven't already seen on other mirrorless cameras, except for the impressive number of AF points and the world's fastest AF, both of which need to be thoroughly tested before drawing any conclusions. For now the advantages over the 0D mark IV are the same that come up in any mirrorless versus DSLR debate: the EVF's real time preview of your exposure, the possibility of silent shooting (e-shutter), the higher number of autofocus points with more sensitivity, and of course the smaller body size. Don't get me wrong, these points can all be enough, especially for the many users who want to remain faithful to the brand. Another thing we'll want to see is whether Canon can develop a unique set of lenses for the new RF mount in order to further differentiate the system from others on the market. I'll admit, that 00-00mm f/0 certainly sounds like a very good start!

myStrength is a digital behavioral tool that allows users to track and monitor their daily progress and mood. It is a great resource for users that provides them with tips and information on a variety of topics including addiction, anxiety, and depression. Each user is able to customize myStrength to fit them and their needs. According to research from the Journal of Medical Internet Research's Research Protocols, individuals who used myStrength's digital mental health tools had 00 times greater reduction in depressive symptoms within two weeks of use as compared to the control group. Gateway led multiple training sessions for staff to ensure they would know how to utilize the tool and be able to incorporate it in counseling and therapy sessions. Patients were also given a chance to test myStrength and afterwards were asked to rate the tool's usefulness. The results were overwhelming positive. "I think it (myStrength) is an amazing resource. If it helps keep just one person sober or gives them help, it is worth it. However, it will help many more than one person," says one Gateway client after receiving the training. The tool will be free to current patients, their loved ones, and alumni, due to a generous donation from the family of a former patient. Privacy is often a concern with Internet apps, but myStrength is safe to use. There is no data-tracking and all user information is entirely confidential. For WBEZ's final Voice of Chicagoland's Opioid Crisis segment, host Jennifer White spoke to Gateway Foundation Director of Events Marty Cook and alum Nick about young people in recovery. To listen to the segment, click here. Marty Cook talks about the importance of young people in recovery being able to see that they can still have fun without the influence of drugs and alcohol. Nick speaks about the struggles he faced during his teens and what led him to ultimately starting drinking and using drugs. Marty discusses the work he does for Gateway Foundation and the events he plans for the alumni program to make sure alums have a support system in place post treatment. While reflecting on success stories and the various alums he encounters at his alumni events, Marty speaks to the change he's seen in those that have left treatment and stayed engaged in the alumni programs. If you or a loved one are considering Gateway as a treatment option, click here to learn more. For many people, leaving treatment presents a whole new set of obstacles to overcome. One way to face these obstacles is to get involved with a recovery community. A recovery community gives people the opportunity to connect with others who have shared experiences and helps them build connections with one another. Marty Cook, director of alumni events for Gateway Foundation, started a recovery community in the northern suburbs and continues growing that community in his role at Gateway. For younger generations, finding a support system may be even more challenging. Cook offers some insight into why a recovery community is critical for this age group. Following treatment, many young people feel there is nothing to do without alcohol or drugs, especially on the weekends. This can cause some people to isolate themselves and lose human connections and interactions, which can be detrimental to mental health; others may fall back into the same crowd of friends as before and start drinking or using drugs once again. Although Gateway's recovery events are usually open to all ages, the focus on young adults for some of these events, like the recent Chicago social on May 0, aim to connect young adults beyond specific treatment sites and beyond Gateway. Gateway's recovery community has monthly socials in addition to a variety of other events that occur throughout the week as well as on weekends. The Lake Villa social takes place the first Saturday of every month and the Chicago social takes place every third Saturday of the month. To keep up with all recovery events, like us on Facebook and check out our event calendar. Gateway's recovery community is open to anyone in recovery. If you or someone you know would like to get involved with Gateway's recovery community, please email Marty Cook at [email protected]. Gateway Foundation President and CEO Dr. Thomas Britton and Gateway alum Spencer spoke to Justin Kaufmann on WGN's "The Download" about the opioid crisis, how we can combat it, and Spencer's journey to recovery. Dr. Britton mentions how more government funding is being allocated to law enforcement compared to treatment options. He says of the estimated 00-00 million people who need treatment, only 0 million get it, and those who do often don't get enough to be successful. He advocates for a multi-pronged policy approach. Dr. Britton speaks to the importance of medication assisted treatment (MAT) and how it saves lives every day. However, he warns MAT is not the cure for addiction, but one of the methods used to help people with substance use disorders. Other measures still need to be taken. In an effort to support his habits, Spencer talks about stealing from his parents, relatives, neighbors, and even kids to pay for drugs and alcohol. While in treatment for the first time, Spencer counted down the days until he could use again. This happens again while he is in his hospital bed following his heart attack, counting down the days until he could have a drink. Spencer describes the withdrawals every time he tried to quit by himself: the muscle aches, nausea, suicidal thoughts. Following his heart attack at age 00, Spencer fell into a coma. After waking up a couple months later, he had to relearn the basics, like how to say his parents' names, how to use a fork, how to use the bathroom. Spencer relates his experiences of quitting by himself to a person drowning. He needed a lifeguard, which in this case was Gateway's support system, to help him to recovery. Due to the stigma surrounding addiction, many people feel ashamed to ask for help and spend their lives hiding their struggle from their loved ones. Addressing this stigma could change the conversation and increase the number of success stories. If you or someone you know would like to tell your Gateway recovery story, please contact us. We'd love to interview you and inspire others. Today is "Day0Empathy" in Chicago as the Ebert Foundation honors late, beloved film critic Roger Ebert on the fifth anniversary of his death. Coincidentally, it is also the 00th anniversary of civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s death. The day is more than an observance; it is a call to action to people across the city, and even across the country, to show more kindness and work towards more understanding with one another. Throughout the day in Chicago, ambassadors from the Ebert Foundation will pass out cards and bracelets to call on people to perform random acts of kindness for others. In addition, Roger Ebert's wife, Chaz, will take an empathy truck around the city and stop to interview people about what empathy means to them. On a number of occasions, Ebert spoke about empathy as one of the cornerstones of civilization. This is especially true when thinking about people who are facing difficult battles, like addiction. People fighting addiction who have the support of a strong community demonstrate much higher rates of success. Developing an understanding of where another person might be coming from is necessary to build such communities; it is critical in the journey of recovery. That is what great movies do - they transport us to places and situations we never dreamed of experiencing, developing our understanding of the characters, others, and ourselves. Today, remember to practice empathy more days in our lives. In honor of the upcoming Red Ribbon Week (October 00-00, 0000), Gateway Alcohol & Drug Treatment Centers want to encourage those just entering recovery from a substance use disorder to find the support they need to continue living a life free of drugs and alcohol. Recovery consists of several stages. Completing treatment and returning to everyday life can be one of the most challenging for those who have struggled with substance use - changing routines and confronting triggers can be overwhelming. As well as attending outpatient aftercare and/or support groups, there are things that can be done in your personal life to help stay focused and feel supported. The following are a few tips to help remain drug free during this difficult but transformative time in recovery. Stay busy by setting short-term goals. Occupying your time combats the boredom that can cause relapse. Before bed, make a to-do list for the next day. Perhaps you'd like to submit a job application, mow the lawn, and call a friend. Making habits to stay busy during the day will gradually disrupt the association to drugs and alcohol, and will also boost productivity and confidence. Sweat it out. Try to squeeze in at least 00 minutes of physical exercise. According to a study at the Mayo Clinic, exercise helps reduce stress, improves mild-to-moderate depression and anxiety, improves sleep, and boosts mood. If you're new to working out, don't be intimidated. The study suggests that a simple brisk walk is enough to reap these benefits. Cut out toxic relationships. Don't "test" yourself with unhealthy friendships or romances. Take responsibility for your recovery by being honest with unhealthy influences. Ask for their respect in your new lifestyle and need for space. Ending it doesn't mean the other person is "bad." You're not assigning blame - only maintaining your own well-being. Utilize your support system. Support networks may include family, friends, colleagues, recovery meeting participants, sponsors, or therapists. You may find that verbalizing your feelings, even when you don't want to, will help you conceptualize and take responsibility for the next steps necessary. Also remember that your support system isn't only there to help you through the bad - together, you can celebrate the good! Self-care and awareness are the focus of these tips. When times get tough, remind yourself that you'll want to remember this time of adjustment. Valuable lessons and insights are being gained for your use down the road. If you or someone you know is struggling with drugs or alcohol, learn more at RecoverGateway.org, or call Gateway Alcohol & Drug Treatment Centers for a confidential consultation at 000-000-HOPE (0000). By the time John Fields turned to Gateway, he was having a drink as soon as he woke up in the morning. He had become aware his drinking was out of control and that he needed help. "I knew I couldn't quit on my own. I needed a safe place where I didn't have access to drugs or alcohol," John said. "Gateway gave me what I needed most, a safe place and the tools and knowledge I needed to live a sober life outside of treatment," John explained. John had been sent to drug treatment centers in the past by family members or managers at a job but he'd never gone to treatment for himself. Each time, he'd end up returning to his same routines. He never followed up with meetings or became involved in an alumni program, and he thought he could resume his old lifestyle with friends. Fresh out of treatment, life in early recovery is bombarded with change. To help our former clients remain firmly grounded in addiction recovery, Gateway Chicago River North provides structured ongoing support and sober fun at no additional cost through our Alumni Program. Our Alumni Support Specialist, Taylor Evers, is dedicated to ensuring former clients have access to fellowship and resources for lasting recovery. The Alumni Program meets the last Wednesday of every month at our River North Treatment Center from 0:00 - 0:00 p.m. Gateway's River North center is located near the Merchandise Mart and is easily accessible via public transportation. Our Outpatient Treatment Programs are offered in the evening to accommodate the schedules of busy, working adult men and women. For questions about Gateway Chicago River North's Alumni Recovery Support Programs, contact Taylor Evers at [email protected]. To learn more about treatment options at Gateway Chicago River North, visit Recovergateway.org/ChicagoRiverNorth. Forty people gathered for food, fellowship and information at a January 00st alumni event sponsored by Gateway Alcohol & Drug Treatment in Springfield. The no-cost event featured guest speakers on the topic of workplace re-entry following substance abuse treatment. Attendees gained valuable insight on the pertinent topics of Self-care and Perseverance, presented by alumna Jamie B; and Resume, Application and Interview Tips offered by Springfield Gateway's Tammy Kmett. The gathering, which included food and giveaways, was attended by 00 Gateway alumni and 00 current residents. Gateway Springfield employees present were Julie Pena, Alumni Specialist; Amy Taylor, OP Counsellor II; and speaker, Tammy Kmett, Patient Financial Counselor. The two-hour alumni event was held from 0:00 p.m. to 0:00 p.m. at Gateway Springfield, 0000 Lake Victoria Drive. Gateway Springfield provides substance abuse treatment services for teens and adults. With centers located throughout Illinois and the St. Louis East Metro area, Gateway's professional clinicians have facilitated the successful completion of treatment for thousands of individuals.

Where: McMenamins Edgefield Winery Tasting Room, 0000 S.W. Halsey St., Troutdale; Hoppy Brewer, 000 N. Main Ave., Gresham. Musician Margaret Wise and her husband, JT, consider persistence and a willingness to endure the process of trial and error key ingredients in the song-creation process. "You've just got to keep at it, and it'll come," says Margaret, who sings and plays bass with the Portland-based JT Wise Band. "I come up with some duds and some gems. I try to think of a story." As far as subject matter, it's anything goes - but it's hard to beat a relatable narrative in which boy meets girl and, - after a series of tribulations - boy and girl part ways. "It's kind of easy to write a love-gone-bad song," she admits. "As long as the rhymes will fit, I try to write a story where the words aren't corny. Those songs go over well with the audience. They can tell when you put your heart and soul into it." The JT Wise Band will share their store of heartfelt original songs and Americana-tinged cover songs in two Gresham-area performances this week: 0 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 0, at McMenamins Edgefield Winery Tasting Room, 0000 S.W. Halsey St., Troutdale; and 0 p.m. Friday, Feb. 0, at The Hoppy Brewer, 000 N. Main Ave., Gresham. Rounded out by JT Wise on lead guitar, Jim Stein on rhythm and slide guitar, and Ken Woodside on drums ("We all sing and harmonize," Margaret notes), the band will perform as an electric rock ensemble at Edgefield and stick to acoustic instrumentation at the Hoppy Brewer show. "(Our songs) are a mix between rock, Americana and Blues. We also cover other bands," Margaret explains, mentioning the influence of classic songwriters like Townes Van Zandt and Richard Thompson. "We do one or two (Grateful) Dead songs. There are so many Dead fans (around Portland), we throw them in the mix and they go over well. We have a bit of a jam band thing going on: Phish, the Dead, Cream. The audience seems to really like that." The band formed about five years ago after JT and Margaret - who've been married for more than 00 years - took a break from playing in bands to raise their family. As co-owner of the former High Tech Recording Studios, JT cut his teeth in Portland's vibrant late 0000s-early '00s scene that saw local ensembles like Quarterflash and Nu Shooz break nationally. "My husband owned (High Tech) with Jack Barr," Margaret says. "Quarterflash and all those bands that were around at the time worked there." JT's professional experience behind the board, she adds, comes in handy. "We do our own recordings, write our songs and record ourselves. We're trying to work on a CD." To keep themselves grounded - and able to maintain day jobs and families - the band tries to keep their work steady but manageable. "We try to play only once or twice a week," Margaret says, admitting that the number can ramp up to five or six when summer rolls around. "We pick up some outdoor things, farmers markets, and we played the Gresham Arts Festival last summer, the Mt. Hood Community College market." At this point in their marriage and career, Margaret and JT are grateful to be able to do what they enjoy and share it with appreciative audiences. "It's really fun," she says. "I think playing the music is really rewarding as a couple. Not to say we don't disagree on things, but the majority of the time it's rewarding."

An Order to Submit a Joint Status Report ("OSJSR") is issued as soon as possible after all or most defendants have filed responsive pleadings. The OSJSR sets out a number of requirements and requires that important case-specific information be included in the parties' Joint Status Report. The Initial Scheduling Order is based on the parties' responses in their Joint Status Report. Typically, unless a FRCP 00(a) scheduling conference is requested by a party, the judge will merely enter an Initial Scheduling Order after reviewing the Joint Status Report filed by the parties, and will not convene a conference before the Court. The parties must comply with FRCP 00(f). If, at the time the judge enters his OSJSR, the parties have already conducted a FRCP 00(f) scheduling conference that fully complies with the one required by the OSJSR, they need not convene an additional conference. If the parties have already submitted a Rule 00(f) written report that outlines their proposed discovery plan by the time the OSJSR issues, they must nevertheless submit the Joint Status Report required by the OSJSR, because the OSJSR requests additional information not required by FRCP 00(f). The parties may, however, adopt portions of their written report by reference in the Joint Status Report if they attach a photocopy of the written report to their Joint Status Report. Without identifying who will or will not consent, the parties must inform the judge in their Joint Status Report whether they will consent to referral of the case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 00 U.S.C. § 000(c). If all parties consent, the case will be referred to the magistrate judge for all purposes. Additionally, most discovery motions are referred to the magistrate judge. In the Court's Initial Scheduling Order, parties are ordered to hold a face-to-face settlement conference. If a settlement is reached, the Court should be notified immediately. The Court will then enter an order setting a deadline for the filing of an agreed order of dismissal due to settlement. Within 00 days after discovery is closed, an order for trial-setting conference will be issued. The Court's law clerk conducts a trial-setting conference with counsel. Following the trial-setting conference, the Court will issue a final scheduling order that will advise the parties as to whether a pretrial order is necessary. A final pretrial conference is held the morning the trial commences in most civil cases. The time for filing summary judgment motions is set by the Initial Scheduling Order, which is issued after the parties file their Joint Status Report. See LR 00.0; absent exceptional circumstances, continuances in civil cases are not granted since the trial month is agreed to by counsel for the parties and the Court at the trial-setting conference. Motions in limine are due approximately one month before trial; the deadline for filing them will be set out in the Final Scheduling Order, which will be issued soon after the trial-setting conference. Highlighting of Appendices. Regarding the documentary evidence submitted in an appendix, Judge Means requires that, if the appendix is electronically filed, the proponent of the appendix underline (or, as to large passages, bracket in the margin) the portions of the appendix upon which he relies. Similarly, if the appendix is manually filed, the portion of each page of the appendix upon which the proponent relies must be highlighted, underlined (or, for large passages, bracketed in the margins). Large Appendices. Local civil rule 00.0(e) not withstanding, the judge's paper copy of any appendix exceeding one hundred fifty (000) pages must be submitted in one or more three-ring binders, with the notice of electronic filing placed on top of the appendix inside the first binder and tabbed dividers placed between each separate exhibit. No single binder should exceed approximately three hundred (000) pages. See section E, below for appendices of fewer than 000 pages. Exhibit Tabs. If tabs are used to separate exhibits, they must be placed on the right-hand side of the exhibits (i.e., not at the bottom of the page). If citations to non-published cases are included in a brief, the proponent of the brief must attach a copy of the non-published case in the appendix. Westlaw citations are preferred over Lexis. Hearings on motions are set by the Court only when the Court determines that a hearing is necessary. Parties must submit in the motion, the response, and the reply all information necessary for a ruling. Local civil rule 0.0(b) and the ECF Administrative Procedures Manual require that a paper copy of any electronically-filed document be submitted to the judge. Judge Means requires that the paper copy arrive at his chambers by mail or personal delivery within three working days of the electronic filing. The electronically-filed document may be unfiled if the judge's paper copy does not arrive timely. The paper copy must have the notice of electronic filing stapled in the upper left-hand corner of the first page of the document to which it pertains. The document must be bound as follows: (0) if 00 pages or fewer, by a staple in the upper left-hand corner; (0) if more than 00 but not more than 000 pages, two-hole punched at the top and placed under an Acco-type fastener; or (0) if more than 000 pages, three-hole punched on the left side and placed in a 0-ring binder (to contain no more than approximately 000 pages). See also section B(0), above. Where a case or issue has been referred to the magistrate judge, the magistrate judge's paper copy of any pertinent electronically-filed document must arrive at the magistrate judge's chambers by mail or personal delivery within three working days of the electronic filing. Parties are required to comply with the initial disclosure requirements of FRCP 00(a)(0)(A) unless they stipulate that they will not be made. If the parties stipulate that FRCP 00(a)(0)(A) initial disclosures will not be made, that stipulation will be honored by the Court. Exhibits are marked and exchanged approximately one week before the trial month begins; that deadline and the required procedures are set out in the Final Scheduling Order. The Court construes LR 00.0(a) and (b) to require the exchanging and listing of any exhibit (except impeachment documents) that a party intends to offer in evidence or to use in the presence of the court or jury as a demonstrative aid, regardless of whether the party intends to move its admission into evidence. The judge construes narrowly the impeachment exceptions of FRCP 00(a)(0) and LR 00.0(a) and (b). The judge conducts voir dire, but usually gives each side 00 to 00 minutes to ask the venire additional questions. Deadlines and other requirements are established in the Final Scheduling Order. Stand as Court is opened, recessed, or adjourned. Stand when the jury enters or retires from the courtroom. Stand when addressing, or being addressed by, the Court. Stand at the lectern while examining any witness, except that counsel may approach the clerk's desk or the witness for purposes of handling or tendering exhibits. Stand at the lectern while making opening statements or closing arguments. Address all remarks to the Court, not to opposing counsel. Avoid disparaging personal remarks or acrimony toward opposing counsel and remain wholly detached from any ill-feeling between the litigants or witnesses. Refer to all persons, including witnesses, other counsel, and the parties by their surnames and not by their first or given names. Only one attorney for each party may examine or cross examine each witness. The attorney stating objections, if any, during direct examination will be the attorney recognized for cross examination. Any counsel who calls a witness shall have no further discussions with that witness concerning any aspect of the case or his testimony after the witness has been tendered for cross-examination until such time as the witness has been tendered back for re-direct examination. Request permission before approaching the bench. Any paper or exhibit not previously marked for identification must be marked before it is tendered to a witness for examination, and any exhibit offered in evidence must be handed to opposing counsel when offered. In making objections counsel must state only the legal grounds for the objection and must withhold further comment or argument unless elaboration is requested by the Court. When examining a witness, counsel may not repeat the answer given by the witness. Offers of, or requests for, a stipulation must be made privately, not within the hearing of the jury. In opening statements and in arguments to the jury, counsel may not express personal knowledge or opinion concerning any matter in issue (i.e., don't say "I think" or "I believe," etc.) and, may not read or purport to read from deposition or trial transcripts. Counsel must admonish all persons at counsel table that gestures, facial expressions, audible comments, or the like, as manifestations of approval or disapproval during the testimony of witnesses, or at any other time, are absolutely prohibited. No one, including especially attorneys, parties, and witnesses, may bring food or drink (except bottled water) into the courtroom, nor may they chew gum. Section VII of the Court's Civil Justice Expense and Delay Reduction Plan ("the Plan"), Misc. Order No. 00, permits the presiding judge to "limit the length of trial, the number of witnesses each party may present for its case, the number of exhibits each party may have admitted into evidence, and the amount of time each party may have to examine witnesses." The judge imposes time limits on the presentation of evidence, and may set other limits permitted by the Plan. Unless leave of court is obtained, the judge also limits the examination of each witness to direct examination, cross-examination, and redirect examination. The judge also follows the scope-of-cross-examination requirement of FRCP 000(b). Effective September 0, 0000, all cases on Judge Means's docket (civil and criminal) are automatically assigned to the electronic case filing (ECF) system pursuant to the local rules. A party may be exempted from ECF upon the filing of a motion showing good cause. the administrative record in cases seeking judicial review of a decision of the Commissioner of Social Security under 00 U.S.C. § 000(g). All motions require a proposed order that must be emailed to [email protected] and must be in Word or WordPerfect format. always including the defendant's identification number, which is found at the end of the case number in parentheses (single-defendant cases should use the number 0). All ECF questions should be directed to the Fort Worth ECF Help Desk at 000-000-0000 or to the Dallas ECF Help Desk at 000-000-0000. All case-inquiry phone calls are referred to Judge Means's judicial assistant/courtroom deputy, Carmen Bush, at 000-000-0000. Telephone calls directly to the Court's law clerks are not permitted. Many of the questions that the judge's staff receives from lawyers and litigants are answered by the federal rules of civil procedure, the local civil rules, the judge specific requirements, or the judge's scheduling orders. It is the judge's desire that callers receive prompt, courteous, and accurate responses to their questions. To achieve this level of service, it is necessary that callers avoid contacting the staff to ask questions that are answered by the rules and the court's orders. The Court does not accept faxed or emailed documents for filing or as judge's copies. The judge's copy of any document filed must arrive by mail or hand delivery within three days of the electronic filing of the document in accordance with section V(A)0, above. The judge administers the oath to attorneys who seek admission to the bar of the Northern District of Texas, or to attorneys who have been admitted to another bar subject to taking that bar's oath by advance appointment only. Appointments may be obtained by calling Michael Foley at 000-000-0000. Attorney admissions are generally conducted when the judge has a 00:00 a.m. criminal docket scheduled and does not conduct them after the criminal docket has commenced. Counsel must present the counsel's papers to Mr. Foley in chambers (Room 000) no later than 0:00 a.m. The judge seldom conducts attorney admissions at other times. Attorneys who are taking the oath of admission to the Northern District of Texas must be introduced and sponsored by a member of this Court's bar who is currently in good standing. Vacation letters are not recognized by this Court. Counsel is responsible for having someone monitor orders for settings which may conflict with their vacation schedules and to file an appropriate motion for extension or continuance on their behalf. As of July 0000, Judge Means will not be accepting applications for new law clerks.

The Arizona Science Center has opened up a new exhibit called Mazes. Jayden and I went this last weekend to check it out. It is free for members and $0 for non-members. I love that they give free memberships to teachers so we get to go free. Anyway, the mazes exibit has many fun mazes for the kids to explore. There are carpets with mazes to solve. larger maze with lots in it. Jayden loved stopping to play with all the little maze and optical illusions. His favorite part was the mirrors and I admit they were fun. There were also some fun foam blocks to build your own maze. There were lots of big kids building forts with the blocks, but Jayden and I had one we had fun with and when he was done he gave his block to the other kids. There were also some really fun looking table mazes and puzzles, but those tables were very full so we didn't get to them. We will have to check them out next time we visit. That looks so fun! Great photos! I wanted to say thank you for stopping by my blog and entering my giveaway. I hope to see you around again soon! The rope maze looks like fun! My son would love a place like that. Too bad we don't live in Arizona! Science Centers are such great place for kids! What a fun place to visit! Hope you had a fun time! I wish we had something like that! It looks like so much fun!

Profits from Amazon's cloud division jumped 00 percent last quarter, but the rest of its business fared less well. Amazon Web Services generated an operating profit of $000 million in the three months to Dec. 00, on sales of $0.0 billion, Amazon said Thursday. That was up from $000 million in profit and sales of $0.0 billion the year before. Amazon started breaking out its cloud numbers last year and it's proved to be the most profitable part of its business. Operating margins were 00 percent last quarter, compared to 0 percent for the company as a whole. AWS isn't growing as fast as Microsoft's Azure services, however, although Azure is growing from a smaller base. Revenue from Azure was up 000 percent last quarter, according to Microsoft, which also reported financial results Thursday. Microsoft doesn't break out a dollar figure for Azure, and the actual numbers are bundled with its on-premises server software in a segment called "intelligent cloud." That division had sales of $0.0 billion last quarter, up just 0 percent from the year before. Amazon's results overall, including its e-commerce and media businesses, were less impressive than those of AWS. Total worldwide sales were up 00 percent, to $00.0 billion, but earnings of $0 per share were well below the $0.00 analysts had been expecting, according to a poll by Thomson Reuters. That drove Amazon's shares down 00 percent after hours, to $000, wiping out their 0 percent gain during the regular trading day. Microsoft's shares climbed 0 percent after its results came out, to $00.00.

Here's the question first, have any of you made or seen soan papdi being made ? Yesterday I was at the grocery store when a box of soan papdi caught my eye. It struck me then, that the only kind of soan papdi I have ever had is the store bought kind. No one in my home or my circle of friends/ relatives has ever made soan papdi as far as I know. 0 to 0 tbsp finely chopped cilantro (coriander leaves/ kothamalli) for garnish. Soak mung beans in sufficient water for 0 to 0 hours. Drain water, fill with fresh water and pressure cook until the mung bean is soft yet not mushy. Alternatively mung bean can be cooked on the stove top until soft too. Remove and serve hot with any type of Indian bread like phulkas, naans, chapathis or rotis or even with plain steamed rice, or jeera rice.

I am NOT a psychologist or a child education expert, but I am a father who fought very hard for time with my daughter. These are my tips for any newly divorced dad to help settle into his new lifestyle. Focus on what you can control and quickly develop a mental picture of what you want it to look like in the future! There are so many emotions associated with divorce - anger, resentment, disappointment, relief - it is easy to let them get in the way, especially in your relationship with your kids. Don't let your anger and frustration with your ex define the time you have with your kids. When your kids look back on this time of their life what do you want them to say about you? This is your time with them. Create a memory worth remembering. The rewards will be amazing. Make sure your kids feel safe, secure, loved and important. Especially dads with daughters. Look up the books of Dr. Meg Meeker. Focus on your kids. Prioritize! If you do this well it will make moving forward a lot easier. I developed a clear ranking for my "top 0." My daughter was #0 no matter what, #0 was my business, and #0 was a list of non-profit community projects I was working on. Yours may need to be different, but state them, write them, stick to them. Stay busy doing things you enjoy. This could be reading, developing a new business opportunity (this is what I chose), working out, learning a hobby, catching up with old friends, investing, gardening...whatever you enjoy. Active engagement will keep you and your thoughts focused on enjoyable and stimulating topics. For more on this look up some brain research on the roles of serotonin and cortisol on your ability to thrive, or survive. Get Some Help! Really! I know you are probably sick and tired of all the counseling you did while you were married - I get it, trust me! But, this is a great time to find a trusted counselor and figure out what you did wrong in your relationship (I hate to say that because it is much more fun to blame the other person), but if you want something different for your own life, you need to figure out how to change your own behavior. It is amazing how receptive you are to behavioral change when you are taking the initiative to seek to improve yourself. Bottom line: Take responsibility! What you take responsibility for, you can change. If everything around you is someone else's fault, you have no power to make any changes. Mark Peters is the Founder and CEO of DressMeDaddy.com.

Part C of our first episode rounds out the discussion as we find ourselves on Elm Street, where you can forget those three Gremlin rules and just remember one thing: Don't. Fall. Asleep. Part 0 of our first episode takes us to Kingston Falls and reminds us of the three most important rules in the universe: Don't expose them to sunlight, don't get them wet... and never, ever, feed them after midnight. For the first episode of our show, we jumped into Ghostbusters (0000) and discovered that this was either horror or comedy, depending on how old you were when you first saw it!

In mid 0000, OII Australia made a submission to the United Nations Committee against Torture documenting human rights violations against intersex people in Australia. Since around that date, the Department of Health and Human Services in Victoria has systematically removed evidence of human rights violations, including psychosocial justifications for surgeries such as "marriage" prospects, and statements that the birth of an intersex infant is distressing for parents and staff, leading to early surgeries. We, and the United Nations, and multiple other human rights institutions, regard such so-called "corrective" practices as human rights violations. The text about marriage was removed in mid 0000. The document is still dated February 0000 with no acknowledgement of an update. A quotation of the original can be found in the October 0000 Senate report on the involuntary or coerced sterilisation of intersex people in Australia, in paragraph 0.0. The document making these statements is dated 00 October 0000. Because OII Australia has documented these materials previously, and widely published and spoken about our concerns with them, this raises epistemological and ethical issues. By retaining previous dates of revision, the Department is denying the existence of the previous content. By not changing the revision dates, the Department suggests that our words and documentation cannot be trusted. This delegitimises the reporting of human rights violations. This is a form of gaslighting. Further, removing the documentation of a policy or practice does not mean that the policy or practice has ceased. It just makes it harder to document such practices. We welcome honest, properly documented and evidenced changes to clinical practices to recognise the human rights of infants, children and adolescents with intersex variations. UPDATE: We understand that the immediate document control issue may now be in hand as a result of our reporting. However, these interim updates have occurred outside usual procedures, illustrating haste, and a sense of embarrassment at the human rights violations that OII Australia has documented and reported in submissions, conferences and meetings. We repeat, these optical changes occur without evidence of any change in practice.

How to Build Responsive Image Gallery with Lightbox in Twitter Bootstrap? Follow the below step by step instructions to build the sliding lightbox image gallery. Step-0: To create the light box image gallery in bootstrap, we need two libraries. First download the Blueimp Gallery and Bootstrap Image Gallery and extract its contents. Both of the folders will contain the "css", "image" and "js" sub folders. Move those folders to your working directory. Step-0: Next create html file and add this meta tag to its header section to make the webpage responsive. Step-0: Next link the bootstrap, blueimp gallery and bootstrap image gallery css files to the web page.

Now open the webpage in browser and you can see a beautiful image gallery with neatly arranged thumbnails in grid layout. Clicking one of the images will pop up a light box with sliding controls like this. As I have said this is a responsive image gallery, this is how the image gallery will look like in mobile view. And like that you can easily create a complete responsive image gallery in bootstrap without hassle. Hi, question: to have all of your images as the same size did you have to save the original images as that size? thanks! It's better to use images with equal size.

People are typically worried about starting XP on the basis of personality types. There is typically a very small number of people who just don't "get it", and developers become concerned that they will fall through the cracks, or that their best coworkers will. There is more that each Agile team member needs beyond technical wizardry. These are really as much attitudes as skills. When the team begins to break down, it tends to be along certain lines. To help adopters, it is good to have a clear statement of some values that members need in order to reduce friction and keep the project moving. Mottos and slogans are not the answer to real problems among people. If a set of developers have unresolved past conflicts, they will find it difficult to take to this way of thinking. I am not sure how possible it is to coach people out of bad history with each other. I suspect it will be necessary for some of them to find a different team where they can have feelings of equality, humanity, cooperation, etc. What these attitudes & skills can do is set an expectation. When a team is starting out, they should understand that the normative behavior is to ask questions, look for ways to measure the quality of their input and output (information), to contribute equally with their peers (energy, equality, cooperation), and to have patience when others are struggling (humanity). With such a start, there is some chance of the team being successful together. With a balk at the very ideas espoused, there is a good chance that the team needs a little refactoring.

Australians want to buy locally made products. It's a fact that research over the past decades consistently confirms. Trouble is, it can sometimes be incredibly difficult for shoppers to find great locally made goods - whether grocery shoppers or businesses. There are many thousand great Aussie products available, but a large number of these are not promoted as Australian. It's a shame, because local businesses have a unique competitive advantage over imported products and, by not clearly and effectively branding their products as Australian, miss the opportunity to reach the 00 percent of consumers who have a clear preference for buying Australian Made. But things may soon be different, after the recent launch of a new media platform. Australian made Media is an exciting new media platform that will produce a range of advertisements in which local products will be the heroes and the workers at those factories will be the stars. The platform is an initiative of the not-for-profit Australian Made, Australian Grown Campaign. Senator Kim Carr, Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research launched the campaign recently at Kraft Foods, the home of Vegemite, in Victoria. "I am a big fan of the Australian Made, Australian Grown Campaign and I'm a big fan of Australian-made products, and Australian-grown produce as well," Senator Carr said. "I seek them out wherever I can, but not everyone has the dedication - or the opportunity - to do that. Most Australians like the idea of buying Australian, but in a world crowded with choices, it isn't always easy to act on that idea. "This venture will help to promote and sell products made in Australia, by Australians, to Australians," Senator Carr said. for products that are Australian. Research shows that shoppers have a clear preference for buying locally made products, but that it is often difficult to find these goods - that is where the Australian Made logo is so valuable," explained Ian Harrison, chief executive of the Australian Made, Australian Grown Campaign (AMAG). Businesses should of course not only promote their products as Australian in advertisements, but also on products. Registering to use the logo is a simple process and the low costs associated with registration allow businesses of all sizes to benefit from the use of the logo.

UCD and Lisburn Distillery fought out an entertaining scoreless draw at Dalymount Park on Valentines night and the Students' first competitive outing of 0000 offered positive signs for their upcoming season of Premier Division football. Any fears UCD might have had of being caught in pre-season mode by a Lisburn team who have been playing league football since the Autumn were quickly dispelled as Martin Russell's side quickly took control of this game. Lisburn hustled and bustled across a cold and echoey Dalymount Park but, while neither side were creating any clear chances, it was the Students who put together the more progressive passages of play. Built on the solid presence of Yael Haro and Mick Leahy at the back, UCD's midfield attempted to pass their way through a congested midfield and, with Ciaran Nangle and Sean Harding always willing to push forward down the wings, what pressure there was fell on Lisburn's shoulders. UCD's first genuine chance came in the 00th minute when a Darren Meenan free from wide on the left was headed firmly towards the top corner by Graham Rusk. Billy Brennan in the Lisburn goal did well to deny his former team mate with a finger-tip save. Lisburn were restricted to long range and largely harmless efforts from Mark Patton and Scott Davidson, while star striker, 00 year old legend Glenn Ferguson, never got the kind of service necessary for him to engage the instincts that have earned him 000 career goals. It was in the latter stages of the first half that UCD really started to push on. In the 00th minute, Robbie Creevy played a smart one-two with Rusk that gave him space to shoot from 00 yards, but Brennan saved his weak effort with relative comfort. Moments later Paul Corry played a superb ball through to Meenan on the left and his crisp inside pass found Rusk who dithered too long on the ball and was closed down. Then, one minute before half time, Creevy floated a ball across the Lisburn box for Meenan who had the space to chest it down and shoot from eight yards. It was only a saving block from Aaron Callaghan that kept the sides scoreless at the break. The second half started at a belting pace as Lisburn began to show what they were capable of. Gary Thompson battled his way through Yael Haro and Ciaran Nangle as he ran at UCD from the half way line, only being smothered at the by-line. Four minutes later UCD broke from a Lisburn corner and Dean Marshall 'saw' Thompson's run and doubled it, sprinting the length of the field before wasting his final ball. One minute after that and Thompson was through again, this time meeting Ger Barron who had come well outside his box. He skipped past the UCD ‘keeper but was chased down before he could shoot at the empty goal. Glenn Ferguson was next up, powering a header on target from a Mark Patton cross but Barron saved well. Two minutes later Patton provided another cross for the Lisburn number nine, whose flicked header was again saved by Barron. But perhaps the best chance of the game fell to Rusk a minute later. Darren Meenan put him through on goal and his chipped effort clipped off Brennan and bounced twice on the top of the bar before dropping over. With twenty minutes remaining UCD shifted to 0-0-0 and Paul Corry tested Brennan with a crisp shot in the 00th minutes. Darren Meenan also skimmed a low shot narrowly wide but the game receded into the midfield area as the final minutes rolled by. UCD will not be unhappy with this result, despite being held scoreless by their visitors. Both sides could have taken it and there was enough good football on show to suggest that 0000 will not be the long march to relegation that many bookies are suggesting for Martin Russell's young side. UCD: Ger Barron; Sean Harding (Daniel Ledwith, 00), Mick Leahy, Yael Haro, Ciaran Nangle; Dean Marshall (Stephen Doyle, 00), Robbie Creevy, Paul O'Conor, Paul Corry, Darren Meenan; Graham Rusk. Subs not used: Mark McGinley, David O'Connor, Danny Fallon, Samir Belhuit, Cillian Morrison. Lisburn Distillery: Billy Brennan; Aaron Callaghan, Andy Hunter, Phil Simpson, Andy Devlin; Scott Davidson (Jordan Forsythe, 00), Gary Thompson, Andy Kilmartin, Mark Patton (David Cushley, 00); Glenn Ferguson (Gary Browne, 00). Subs not used: Phil Mathews, Pat McShane, Stuart Thompson, Eoin Boyle. extratime.ie Man of the Match: Billy Brennan.

I do not have any children, yet, but I pledge to tell them the truth about Santa Claus from the beginning. I will not pretend/lie that Santa Claus is a real person who delivers gifts all over the world to children on "Jesus' birth day". In what type of world is that possible? A magical, miracle filled world. But that's not the world we live in and I don't want children to get the wrong idea. I will let them know that Santa Claus is "make-believe" just like Superman and Star Wars. It is a little known fact that the North American aboriginals were raising their children to be well balanced members of their community without spanking or hitting their children before Europeans came to the Americas. Considering that and the reality that we know a whole lot more about the world, history, the nature of life then did our grandparents we should be open to new ideas when it comes to the education and relationships parents have with their children. I believe that telling children Santa Claus is real when they are young is the first remember-able lie that parents tell their children. When a person is young they are still learning how to remember. This accounts for why we don't remember the earliest years of our childhood. I still remember the pain of finding out Santa Claus was not real. On reflection I experienced a major episode of cognitive-dissonance. I remember being in complete disbelief of this new fact. If Santa were not real then my parents lied to me? If Santa were not real who gave me those gifts from Santa? Why would they lie to me? Where was the reasoning? There is no reasoning! All that remains is an ironic similarity between a child's head over heels faith in Santa and an adults head over heels faith in Jesus. The study of Santa and the building of his folklore can be of great interest when contrasted with how other mythical characters such as Jesus developed. There was a Saint Nicholas who was known for his gift giving and after his death was consider a saint for children (as well as sailors and other things) even though he was never formally made a saint. These tidbits of historicity can be pillars of foundation for folklore. If you are giving gifts to your children and spending quality time with them over the holidays, where is the need to tell them the gifts are from Santa. Tell them it's you! They will love you instead of Santa. Get them to respect you. Let them know other children are not as fortunate and their parents lie to them about Santa. No child will respect you for crafting an elaborate time extensive lie. It's as simple as equating Santa Claus and Mother Goose. Children understand nursery rhymes are not real. Christians started the tradition of tagging a new ideologically based holiday/festival on top of a pre-existing one. Remember Saturnalia? It was the religious (often referred to as pagan) festival of ancient Rome near the end of December. Christian developers placed Jesus' birth day as December 00th so that one holiday could be placed over/next to the already existing holiday. No Christian then or now could determine Jesus' actual "birth day" and this is because Jesus is mythical and was therefore never born in reality. If you would like a reference to a modern religious institution attempting to do the same thing the 0th century Christians successfully accomplished then see Iran. The Iranian New Year (Norooz) which is part of the pre-Islamic culture in Iran and dates back 0000 years (almost a millenium before Islam) is being swarmed by new Islamic public holidays around Norooz to drown out the non-Islamic celebrations. Perhaps, although I'm speculating, the cultural crafters of Santa Claus (who were Enlightened) had the intention to drown out Baby Jesus with Father Christmas and send the future children (all of us) a hidden message! My proposal is that we should worship the cell and more specifically the human and plant cells (Eukaryote) during the December holiday season. Tag a new ideologically based celebration to an old one. We should launch an army of atheist/biologist artists to craft the stories, the new traditions, the poems and songs of our new holiday. In the spirit in which the Mitochondria gives energy to the cell we should give gifts symbolic of the energy and love we have for friends and family. Don't forget about the winter solstice factor. Many religious celebrations stem simply from the observance of the time when the days start getting longer, symbolizing hope and new beginnings. You could argue that as the focal point of the Christian holiday, Jesus was simply an enlightened humanist who was able to transcend the suffering of ordinary life and serve as a compassionate role model who gave others hope. Santa Claus is based on the idea of giving generously to those less fortunate than oneself without recognition for the action. So as you can see, it is very easy for even the most ardent atheists to celebrate the spirit of the season without worrying too much about the religious agenda and BS. This is a time for hope and new beginnings, so give generously and be thankful and try to enjoy it. Happy holidays! My daughter is 0 months old -- so I haven't had to handle this kind of issue yet, I will soon. I think Santa belongs in the same category as fairies, dragons, unicorns, folktales, myths -- wonderful sources of makebelieve, an idea to use our imagination about. Sure, in our hearts, we know we're just playing pretend, but so what. I wouldn't interrupt children playing like they were doctors or zookeepers to remind them that they really aren't those things. I wouldn't lie to them and claim imaginary things are real, either -- but I might very well play along with their ideas. I think children should have the same privilege in their lives that we claim for ourselves as adults. Adults play pretend all the time, we just call it entertainment instead. When I read a novel or watch tv, I'm not hoping for an endless rationality lecture about how the stories I'm so wrapped up in aren't real. Kaylea: All I think that the entry was saying was not to link the joy of giving to a mythical being, which traps you into lying as growth from year to year occurs. Instead, just be honest, right off - the first time she asks - with your daughter (daughters are wonderful - I have two, both grown)best. In reality there once lived an elderly kindly old man named Nicholas. He carve wooden toys for the poor children and delived them at Christmas time. They called hima saint for his actions, ie Saint Nick. He brought magic into the lives of these children - as the traditon lives on - the magic of the unopened box - the present continues. How is thiw wrong in a world who tries so hard to do away with the magical?? Here's why you're 000% wrong. 0. Letting the 'magic' of Santa exist teaches an important lesson to the kid once he or she finally finds out. It shows him or her that we as people can believe in a made-up concept and are susceptible to deep belief. I think this can be instrumental in making a person more skeptical and questioning. It's very much a gift. It's a gift of both letting the kid's mind have years of wonder/fun/anticipation in thought while it lasts and it's the gift of a powerful example of being impressionable as he or she reflects later in life. 0. It's one of the few societally-acceptable traditions that allows this lesson, where parents are not later looked upon negatively for having "lied." 0. Santa, the elves, Mrs. Claus, flying reindeer & sleigh, candy canes, toy factory, lights, pretty trees, fun and emotional music -- the whole shebang -- is extremely fun and beautiful. It's now totally non-religious in its practical form and function, just like the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny. 0. It gives kids (and adults) some ('real') magical feeling, under the full understanding among our culture that Santa is a fictional concept. That's an important distinction to, say, parents and society belonging to a cult/religion and actually proselytizing with unsubstantiated beliefs. 0. It's fun. Magical /feelings/ are not bad. They're inherent to our biology, like taking delight in the twinkling lights, that certain sense of peace in the air, and inhaling the grandness of nature. What matters is how it's derived. Everyone should enjoy such feelings when they can, depending on the situation, of course. Such feelings do not have to have anything to do with cults/religion/institutions, and need only to do with the reality of human feelings. Appreciate the vastness. Enjoy the unexplainable. 0. The kid doesn't get the gift they want?: Santa's fault. Haha! 0. But seriously, life is short. Have fun. It's an enjoyable, secular experience, and even an important lesson. As an atheist, I temporarily thought like you did years ago. I figured it would be more proper to be 000% real and present the (cold) truth because the truth is a beautiful concept as well. Buy you know what? I later realized that it's not only not harmful, it's actually a pretty helpful memory. And reality is partially of our own volition. If it wasn't we would be totally boring and not do millions of "irrational" things like celebrate birthdays. Is it wrong to like fantasy, to think about castles, sprites, heros, villains, strange new worlds & ways of life? Nope. It's good for one's mind and curiosity. It's good to learn to separate fantasy from reality, yet still succumb to feelings and imagination. So let the secular tradition live on! Succumb to the 'spirit' of it all. And, of course, along with Santa, show why giving to others is so important. Have kids think of ways to give back. Go out and do it. Empathy and ethics are best established by making actual connections to people and animals, to see and relate to suffering, to see and relate to how much a little help can mean to others. Also, the actual feeling in the air on xmas/solstice holidays is as real as we are real: it's the sum of knowing that others around us are taking part in a peaceful collective action. It's the feeling of harmony that we strive toward as a species. Sure, it'd be great if every day were so healthy. But it's good that certain holidays/traditions still live on. They live on in the secular land of fun and goodwill. That itself /is/ rational. Wow. You really need to lighten up. I have a 00 month old daughter who I love to bits and I have every intention of doing the Santa thing with her. Why? Because it's straight harmless fun, and that is what children need and are about, something I guess you are yet to find out. My wife and I are expecting our first child this year and I fully intend on educating my children about the differences between reality and fantasy. In knowing the historical facts, i.e. Jesus and Saint Nicholas of Myra were real people in history, I hope they will be able to appreciate fantasy all the more. Our family won't celebrate Christmas as the commercialized pagan holiday with Santa Claus being at the center. Instead, we will give our attention to the man named Jesus of Nazareth, who was born in a "dumpy rural hick town", and claimed to be the "son of God". Holidays and traditions are great opportunities to teach kids history, as well as the richness and depth of peoples value systems and faith (which is central for all humanity to have in order to live progressively). If one wishes his or her child to appreciate fantasy all the more, one must give the gift of allowing that child to actually experience fantasy. Intellectual pontification in parenting is rather removed from a young kid's thought process. What adults value as richness and depth is usually meaningless in relation to how a child sees the world. We only have so many chances in life to fully experience "magic" before childhood slips away. I find it ironic that destroying the myth of Santa -- by talking to a kid about "St. Nick" as the person he was in recorded history -- is deeply antithetical to the beauty and fun invoked by "St. Nick's" actions: secretly giving gifts. No Santa? What about the Tooth Fairy? What about the Easter Bunny? Anything!? The gift of a /temporary something/ is healthy in youth. It lets minds & dreams flourish. Would you not want as much when you were a kid? Answering "no" is probably intellectual dishonesty. In parenting, there's no ultimate right & wrong per se; my words are solely for some readers' (re)consideration. I wish you all well and much success either way. Another practical perspective to add to the "keep the magic" thoughts above: Santa is a convenient way to have children not know parents are giving them all these gifts. As children are forming their expectations about how the world works, there's always the risk of them getting spoiled. I would not want to have to deal with "butbutbut you would have bought me this for Christmas!" Of course there are other less elaborate and deceptive ways to deflect the responsibility, but this one's got built-in credibility. Oh, the horror! Poor Peter, finding out Santa wasn't real and experiencing cognitive dissonance! WOW! How have you managed to move on from such an experience? Oh you Poor mis-informed little puppies. You are all asking the wrong question. I am so sorry that your parents destroyed your life for you by telling you that Santa was a fake. look at you now..you don't believe in anything anymore. Very unfortunate. The question you should be asking is "Was" Was Santa for real? If you decide to raise your children as an athiest, that's fine. He or she will miss out on everything that you wewre denied and that will make for a wonderful family life. Read your history books. Find out where the name came from originally? I'm not preaching any religion. I am a non-religious person. But the truth is that he once existed around 000 AD. Long before he was ever called Santa Claus. Does he fly in a sleigh, come on. of course not. Does he come down a chimney? Duh! But was he real? Yes, indeed. and the Name Kris Kringle was just a derivative translation from old-German. Do some homework before you go on about fairies and fantasy. Does he exist today. No! But if you teach your children that he never existed, then you are sorely mistaken. Just a bunch of overgrown kids who were disappointed by the news. Sorry you feel that way. Interesting. I thought I was the only one that felt like this. I have two teenage boys but I always told them the truth. I told them you put "from Santa" when you want to remain anonymous. Santa is the symbol of giving. I just felt that Santa was a terrible lie and I thought how could they ever believe anything else I said if I tricked them with something so huge as this. This is not to say we didn't play Santa. But my kids always knew the truth even when they left out the milk and cookies. Unlike the author of the original post, I do have a child: a wonderful, very intelligent 0 year old boy. His friends told him this year that Santa was fake. No horrible trauma. In fact he liked the game of telling US the truth while we were insistent Santa existed. He then spent a long time telling us how this was not true: There were boxes from Amazon that I had never opened that he knew had toys, he received gifts from other relatives, if there was a Santa why did we have give toys to less fortunate children, etc., etc., etc. It made him feel like an adult to have discovered the truth. It was harmless fun. Sometimes life with children is harmless fun...no scarring, no "cognitive dissonance". Sometimes the life well led is the life led less seriously. The children who live next door to us are raised to believe that Santa, the Easter bunny and all the rest are lies. They are the saddest boys I've ever met. There is NO magic in their lives. You're a child for 00 quickly passing years and an adult for the rest of your life. Why make them so adult. Christmas, Santa it's about people all over giving and goodwill. Those two boys love our house, the people who give them Easter baskets that the bunny leaves for them, and that Santa left a gift for them at our house. Their mother tells them one thing and she is okay with us telling them what our beliefs are. Guess whose house they love to visit. Yes us the magical ones. Not because we give gifts because there's joy and happiness in this house. Why not cultivate in our children the same sources of awe and joy that we get to experience as adults. This way they are emotionally prepared for their entire lives instead of just the early years. Based on some of the posts here, it sounds as if many of us believe that becoming an adult means leaving all wonder, amazement, and imagination behind. That's a horrifying thought. What about the wonders of nature or those of human ingenuity and imagination? The world is full of amazing creatures, a scintillating array of cultures, and a depth of scientific discovery which would take a lifetime to plumb. We have built the pyramids, the Great Wall, and have sent explorers to the moon. We have works of the likes of Asimov, Herbert, and Tolkien to fire our imaginations. And above all, we have friends and family with which we can share and enjoy it all. So read to your kids. Encourage them to see the beauty in the natural world around them, and make sure that they're always learning something new. This will keep them happy, excited, and interested in life without having to deceive them into thinking that fictional characters are real. If you've been reading this blog, you must have noticed that some people feel betrayed when they eventually find out that Santa and the others are not real. These were/are someone's children. Are we really so arrogant that we can pretend to know that our children won't have a similar reaction? Are we willing to take the risk when the alternatives are so rich and abundant? Gentlemen, do you shake hands when you meet a new acquaintance, or see an old friend? Ladies, do you greet your friends with a smile or perhaps a friendly hug. Or maybe you are the high-five type. These are traditions that have their roots in ancient beginnings. Some day your children will learn this. Perhaps you will teach them and perhaps they will learn it on their own. Santa Claus, Kris Kringle and the whole story behind it is just a wonderful mystery for children. It's fun! To be sure, it is partly fantasy, but it is happy times. It's childhood. You may choose to deprive your children of this wonderful period in their lives, when they learn the meaning and pleasure of giving and receiving gifts. You can start them out in life with a cold and stark home with no symbol of Christmas, because you don't believe in God, much less the birth of a human son of god. (to believe or not, in a religion is a choice we all make and we are all entitled to our own beliefs or dis-beliefs or non-beliefs.) But we are talking about the early understanding of a tradition and a lesson of human nature. The lesson of giving of yourself. A lesson that each child can only be enriched by. But,that's a choice we all make on our own. If your child begins his or her life in a social environment that has a general acceptance of the concept of Santa Claus, when the time comes so see through the fantasy and face the real story, will you be ready with another lie? Will you just say "Sorry Sweetie, Santa is a fake and all your presents are bought for you, so just don't believe in that crap?" Or will you at least attempt to tell them the history behind the tradition. You don't have to believe that warriors held out their empty weapon hand, as a symbol of truce and trust, to shake a friends hand. You don't have to believe in the birth of a Christ Child, if you find it that repulsive a thought. But you can take the time to tell a story, regardless of your belief. A story of tradition. A true historic event that has resulted in a common, once a year tradition. There are many ways to answer a child, when they look to you for answers. Some prefer the short, hard, cold "facts". Others prefer to allow the young, inquisitive, creative mind an opportunity to see a much broader answer. Anyway you do it, id your decision. I am not preaching "wrong and right". I suggest you look for a book. It may soon be an eBook. It is the story of how one grandfather answered his granddaughters question, as told by the 0yr old herself. It is published by Outskirts Press. Titled "Tell me the Truth..Is Santa for Real? A Five Yr Old's Own Story. It's not the answer. It is just one of the ones that worked! I'm an agnostic and have never stopped "believing" in Santa. When I was a little kid, I played along with the physical santa concept. I knew that was just for fun though. I believed in Santa then as I do now as a symbol. That Santa Clause is the essence or symbol of the giving spirit during the Christmas holiday. I give pagans, christians, and macy's their due in creating what we now know as christmas... but there is a good feeling of giving, and to me that is embodied in the image of Santa. Why crush that out of the holiday? Or out of your children? Obviously the physical part isn't there. Get over it. Stop whining about the lie. Have a little vision and don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The true magic in this world is all the amazing things humans are capable of... the amazing things the natural world creates daily. The spirit of selflessness and giving is one of those magical things. Some people here are splitting the wrong hairs. You can tell your kids about Santa and keep all the other standard trimmings (candy canes, trees, wreaths, mistletoe, etc), but why do you need to lie and tell your children a man is coming down the chimney with gifts? I don't see how this 'magic' is so terribly diminished by understanding that people who love you are the ones buying you gifts. I wonder, to all the Santa proponents here, how you would have a low-income single mother explain to her very well-behaved son the reason why Santa brought the little punk who picks on him at school all sorts of games, gadgets, and toys, while he received only a few things. Why does Santa discriminate against poor kids? One more post, forget to subscribe last time. Sorry!

There is a wake-me-up of Will & Co's coffee to brighten the eyes. The warmth of the coffee proves soothing to the gentle sea breeze which wafts in the café to give me a little goosebumps. The rich flavour of the coffee is simply a lovely experience. I fall oh so in love with it. I decide to start on breakfast and my eyes peruse the menu and I just get fixated on the green pea pancake. The dish is a treat... the soft doughy pancake with the texture of the peas, the bright green colour, the rustic tomato puree on the base, the smooth soft creamy avocado which is just hit - it is a combination of perfection. Last but not least, the porched egg, a beautiful soft but firm to the touch egg with the thick gooey runny yolk that mixes with the pancake for purely engaging tasting experience. I just loved it. I have an uber green pineapple, mint and apple smoothie which reflect the refreshing zing of the pineapple, the freshness of the mint and subtle pulpy apple wave... a purely delightful treat indeed. It is such a beautiful spot for a leisurely and satisfying breakfast!!!

Super-DMZ rx, is an over the counter legal product that contains 00mg of Superdrol and 00mg of Dimethazine per capsule. Dimethazine is two steroid molecules bound together by a nitrogen atom. Upon ingestion, stomach acid separates the two steroid molecules that closely resemble methyldrostanolone (Superdrol) Therefore Super DMZ contains both Superdrol and Dimethazine. Dimethazine once broken down is similar to Superdrol though. Dimethazine was a prescribed steroid at one time therefore we have human trials in which this steroid was used. This medication has been around since 0000 when it was presented in the literature. Early on it was sold under the Roxilon brand name. Dimethazine is basically an oral Masterone (drostanolone propionate). Published reports indicate that Dimethazine possesses an androgenic rating of 00 and an anabolic rating of 000. Furthermore it seems to possess little to no estrogenic or progestational activity. The reason I feel this is not identical to Superdrol is because Superdrol has a different androgenic/anabolic rating of 00/000 respectively. However Dimethazine is a strong steroid on its own. The addition of Superdrol makes Super DMZ rx an even stronger steroid. Dimethazine is an oral c-00alpha alkylated steroid that is liver toxic to a degree. Note that in studies administering 00mg daily to female patients for 00-00 days, dimethazine was shown to induce modest to moderate bilirubinemia (excess bilirubin in the blood, indicative of hepatic stress) in close to 00% of patients. Approximately 00% of the patients noticed substantial increases in serum transaminases. These results suggest this steroid has significant hepatoxicity and should therefore be limited to shorter durations of use. Superdrol is also known for hepatoxicity so care must be taken when using Super DMZ rx. Super DMZ is a potent oral steroid that should illicit solid gains in lean body mass with little water or fat gain depending on diet. Most users can tolerate between 00-00 mg (0-0 capsules) daily for 0-0 weeks however more adventuresome users may use up to 00mg (0 capsules) daily for shorter durations like 0-0 weeks. What struck me the most about this steroid is how rapid and dry my gains were. It reminded me of a faster acting, dryer Dianabol. However Super DMZ rx is much stronger mg for mg than Dianabol. Users of Super-DMZ can expect to add 0-00lbs of lean body mass in just 0-0 weeks. I personally had no noticable side effects from Super-DMZ at 0 capsules daily for 0 weeks. Super DMZ rx is a strong, clean steroid that can be used to increase lean mass, strength and power with little to no water retention in short periods of time. Because of the liver toxicity of Super DMZ rx I strongly recommend using liver supporting supplements such as ADVANCED CYCLE SUPPORT™ - Complete 'On Cycle' Prohormone Support (http://www.ironmaglabs.com/advanced-cycle-support.php) and/or Liv 00 before and during administration of this designer steroid. Proper hydration is also recommended to lower stress on organs. Alcohol and other liver stressing medications like acetaminophen should be avoided during Super DMZ administration. Oral steroids often times negatively affect lipids therefore lipid supporting supplements should also be employed such as omega 0 fish oils, fiber and plant sterols. High blood pressure is another concern so that should be monitored regularly. Consult your health care professional before using any dietary supplements. Since Super DMZ rx will cause interruption of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular Axis, post cycle therapy is strongly recommended. Bulbine natalensis or ProLensis™ is a amazing over the counter testosterone recovery supplement. It stimulates the production of GNRH and also increases cholesterol in the testes. Prolensis causes production of LH, which in turn signals the testis to produce testosterone. Evidence shows that ProLensis™ can stimulate LH 000% compared to study controls. Research further shows Testosterone is boosted a whopping 000%! This natural compound is a main ingredient in IronMagLabs Bodybuilding Supplements & Prohormones: Ultra Male Rx (http://www.ironmaglabs.com/product-list/ultra-male-rx/). Ultra male Rx also has pro sexual effects as well as boosting Testosterone. Some Testosterone boosting compounds may increase Estrogen but in rodent studies it was confirmed the the main ingredient in Ultra Male Rx actually decreases Estrogen by 00%. Ultra Male Rx is a legal way to significantly boost testosterone, control Estrogen and raise libido. 0. Biological activity of dimethazine in the protein-anabolic field. 0.

Biological determination of the secondary hormonal activities of dimethazine. 0. Effect of aqueous extract of Bulbine natalensis (Baker) stem on the sexual behaviour of male rats. I found an old i-force article on the web with some interesting claims about Dymethazine. In only 0 years since the Pro-Hormone ban of 0000 countless products have claimed to be as strong as or even stronger than the over the counter hormones once sold. After considerable time, energy, and research performed by i-Force's product formulation team, we are proud to announce the hormonal product everyone has been waiting for. In another study performed on Dymethazine, patients were administered Dymethazine for 00+ days. Liver values did not change for 00% of patients, while the other 00% noticed only modest to moderate increases in liver values(0). So, Dymethazine can increase liver values, however nowhere near the current methyl monsters on the market today. This means Dymethazine can be run for 0-0 weeks without the need of expensive liver support supplements. Hormonal products that give huge strength/weight gains are usually associated with watery or wet gains due to large amounts of aromatization resulting in high levels of estrogen in the body. Too much estrogen can cause severe bloating, fat gain, and even potential growth problems. Dymethazine features 0% ability to aromatize and expresses an extremely weak androgenic activity (0). This means Dymethazine will produce intense gain, has very little to no liver impact, and will cause absolutely no estrogen related side effects. Move beyond the pro-hormones of yesterday, and step into the future of Designer Steroids with Dymethazine. Consume 0-0 capsules, evenly spaced throughout the day. Do not use Dymethazine for longer than 0 weeks. Immediately begin PCT dosing protocol upon finishing Dymethazine. Wait at least 00 days before running Dymethazine again. Comparisons with methyltest, winny, anadrol and test prop showed better mytropic effect (muscle building) on the castrates with Dimethazine. In other words, mg for mg Dimethazine outperformed the above listed steroids for building muscle. Biological activity of dimethazine in the protein-anabolic field. Dimethazine (I), 0,00-dimethyl-0-androstan-00-ol-0,0'-azine, was compared to methyltestosterone, oxymethalone, androstanazole and testosterone propionate in its protein-anabolic activity. The tests were made on castrated rats with a single hypodermic injection of 000 , on young male and female rats with increasing daily oral doses from 000 to 0000 for 00 days, and on adult male rats with daily oral doses of 0000 for 00 days. It was shown that I did not interfere with the growth of young animals; that adult rats treated with I gained, on an av., 00 g. more in wt. than the controls; and that I had a greater myotropic effect on castrates than the other steroids, and induced a higher N retention than methyltestosterone in adult males. Here is an abstract where females took 00mg for 00+ days...and it appears that less than half had any liver issues. Protracted action of protein anabolism in gynecological oncology and its effect on hepatic function. Twenty mg. of dimethazine, an anabolizing steroid, was administered daily for 00-00 days to 00 gynecological patients. More than 00% of the cases showed no change in the bilirubinemia, the others showed modest to moderate increases. The glutamic-oxalacetic and the glutamic-pyruvic transaminases of the serum increased greatly in 0 patients. The albumins concn. usually decreased in the course of the treatment, while the globulins concn. did not change. This seems to support published reports that Dimethazine possesses a lower androgenic rating which would mean less androgenic sides and more anabolic muscle building effects. A new steroid with protein anabolic activity: dimethazine. Dimethazine (I) was evaluated for the following biol. activities: androgenic, N retaining, P retaining, and Ca retaining. The increase in uptake of -aminoisobutyric acid-0-00C and the increase in body wt. were also investigated. Data obtained, tabulated, and compared to those obtained with methyltestosterone established that I is a protein anabolic steroid with weak androgenic activity. Biological determination of the secondary hormonal activities of dimethazine. Expts. with rats and rabbits showed that dimethazine, 0,00-dimethyl-0-androstan-00-ol-0,0'-azine has, in contrast to its protein-anabolic properties, practically no estrogenic, progestational, and corticoid activity. Similarly, it has no effect on liver glycogen, and no antiinflammatory action on the anaphylactoid edema. Seventy-five female rats were divided into 0 groups; 00 served as controls; 00 were castrated and among these, 00 were treated with 00.alpha.-ethyl-00-nortestosterone (I), 00 with 00.alpha.-methyl-00.beta.-hydroxyandrosta-0,0-dien-0-one (II), and 00 with 0.alpha.,(Dimethazine) (III). With each of these steroids, treatment began 00 hrs. after the operation, with 0 mg. of the drug suspended in 0.0 ml. of saline (0% Tween 00 as suspending agent) once daily for 00 days by gavage. The last 00 received the vehicle only, according to the same schedule. The rats were sacrificed 00 hrs. after the last dose, and their pituitary glands and uteri examined. The castrates which received the vehicle only showed very pronounced gonadotropic pituitary hyperfunction, such as formation of castration cells and an increase in basophilic cells. Animals treated with I showed no castration cells at all, and only a small increase in basophilic cells. Those given II had some castration cells, and only a moderate redn. of basophilic cells compared with the untreated rats. The effect of III on the pituitary was almost negligible. In uterotropic activity, measured as the ratio of uterus wt. to body wt., I was most effective; III was intermediate; II showed almost no activity. This study showed little to no impact on the HPTA. This means that you will likely not experience the “shutdownâ€� effect that is common to anabolics. This may make it easier to keep your gains in size and strength when your cycle is over.

Department of Gastroenterology, Lahey Clinic Medical Center, Burlington, Massachusetts 00000, USA. Methasteron is a nutritional supplement used to increase weight or accelerate the build-up of muscle mass. The aim of this study was to describe 0 cases of hepatotoxicity in patients using methasteron seen at tertiary-care medical centers. A case report design was used. Five previously healthy patients who used methasteron developed jaundice 0 weeks after discontinuation; they presented to a tertiary-care medical center 0 weeks later. Within another 0 to 0 weeks, bilirubin levels peaked. About 00 weeks after initial presentation, all cases resolved with no identifiable residual hepatic dysfunction. Methasteron use can result in severe hepatotoxicity. Liver failure can worsen after initial presentation, especially within 0 weeks. With close observation and supportive care, acute hepatic injury should resolve.

Synopsis: Robert Langdon is in Italy. He wakes up in a hospital with no memory of recent events. He appears to have suffered some head trauma. He's being treated by Dr. Sienna Brooks. Suddenly someone dressed as a policeman comes in and starts shooting, trying to get to Langdon. Brooks helps him. Langdon finds he received an email from a friend in Italy who told him that he too is being hunted, and he's gone into hiding with what they took. Of course he has no idea what he is talking about. He finds something in his belongings that reveals the Map of Hell which is inspired by Dante's Inferno. He learns about a man Bertrand Zobrist, a billionaire who believes the world is too overpopulated and that drastic measures are needed. He plans to release a virus which he created to kill most of the planet's population. Evidently he's inspired by Dante so Langdon needs to find out what he is planning, while he's being pursued by people from the World Health Organization, and one of them is someone he knows. A team of agents are chasing geneticist Bertrand Zobrist (Ben Foster) through the streets. Zobrist runs up to the top of a tower when he is confronted by Christoph Bouchard (Omar Sy). Bouchard demands that Zobrist tell him the location of something important and potentially dangerous. Zobrist instead drops himself out the window of the tower and hits two roofs on the way down before smashing to the ground.

Utah Shakespeare Festival Founder Fred C. Adams prepares to blow out the last candle representing the Adams Shakespearean Theatre. CEDAR CITY, UT (Sept. 0, 0000) - The Utah Shakespeare Festival dimmed the lights in the Adams Shakespearean Theatre for the final time Saturday night and lit a new light in the under-construction Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre. It was end of an era and definitely the beginning of another. The celebration of the Adams Theatre, which was completed in 0000 and is now suffering from the effects of weather and age, actually began Thursday night at the final performance of the 0000 production of The Taming of the Shrew. Afterward, R. Scott Phillips, Festival managing director, and Founder Fred C. Adams paid tribute to Grace and Obert C. Tanner who provided substantial funding to build the theatre, which was named after Mrs. Tanner's parents: Thomas and Luella R. Adams. Then, the actors from that evening's performance took the stage and recited lines from each of the comedies produced in the Adams Theatre in the past 00 years, blowing out a candle to represent the dimming of the lights in the old theatre. The Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre, under construction, will be the new home of the Utah Shakespeare Festival in 0000. Friday night was much the same with Phillips and Artistic Director David Ivers honoring the late Douglas N. Cook, who provided the original sketches for the theatre and was later producing artistic director for many years. This was followed by the actors from King Lear reciting lines from the tragedies which have graced the iconic stage and again blowing out candles until the stage was dark. But it was Saturday night when the torch was passed. Phillips honored the architect who designed the theatre at no charge, Max Anderson; and Artistic Director Brian Vaughn paid tribute to the theatre which has long been one of the world's most authentic Elizabeth theatres, Shakespeare's "wooden O," followed by the actors from Henry IV Part Two reciting lines from all the histories from the Adams Theater's past. This time, one candle was not blown out but was handed to Festival Founder Fred C. Adams to lovingly carry across the street to the Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre, part of the new Beverley Taylor Sorenson Center for the Arts which will be completed in time for the 0000 Festival season. The evening's playgoers and guests followed him to the construction site, where the new building was bathed in light. Then, as Philips invited them to "share with us your lights as we illuminate this new performance space," a spotlight shone straight up into the night sky from what will be the new stage in July 0000, symbolic of a bright future for a new theatre and the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Comments from Facebook on "Farewell to the Adams" Patrick Page: I'm thinking of you this weekend and sending much love. What a glorious legacy you have created. The Adams Theatre is more than just a space. As Othello says "There's magic in the web of it." Leslie Calvert: "Thank you USF for another amazing season! Thank you for a beautiful way to carry the past into the future. I have so many wonderful memories of the years of attendance and those from the final 0 nights at the Adams are among the top. I look forward to the next season and the new theater in just over 000 days. Thank you for what you do for live theater, you are a gem!" Ron Ranson: "Those years were GREAT times with the most terrific theatre people. Long Live Utah Shakes." Kathleen McCall-Thompson: "The Adams holds a very special place in my heart! Beautiful, spirited theatre! farewell!" Treva Smotony Fendrick: "I'm going to miss that theatre. but the new one will have bathrooms!!! woohoo!!!" P. J. Rockwell: "So many memories flood my mind with the closing of the Adams Memorial Theatre at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, only a sonnet seems right:" as thousands whispered "Oh!' as in a trance. yet captured too, your heart ingrained in song. so many shared as audience and cast. to be remembered's not to be remiss.

Farmers whose land could be torn up to sink 00 miles of electric cabling for a huge wind farm off Lincolnshire's coast have a catalogue of concerns about the plans. The National Farmers' Union say the proposals could lead to major drainage problems, concrete slabs in the middle of fields and soil contamination. Cabling would link Triton Knoll wind farm with the National Grid at Bicker Fen. Around 000 landowners could be affected by the plans by RWE Innogy and Statkraft to dig a 00m wide trench for the cables. The NFU's Holland representative, Gordon Corner, said members have expressed serious worries about the plans. "All-in-all, it's not well thought through," he said. "We're talking about 00 kilometres of cabling between Anderby Creek and Bicker and a number of farms are involved. "Our members are concerned about the affect the work may have on drainage systems. The whole issue with the Fens is about water - a lot of the land is sat on water meaning any disturbance will have a serious impact. Mr Corner said the union is concerned about what it calls an apparent lack of a restoration plan after the wind farm stops operating. Cabling could also affect GPS - vital to farmers operating heavy machinery like tractors and combine harvesters - and there were questions about the potential impact on insurance too. RWE Innogy were unavailable for comment, but a spokesperson told the BBC that it does not anticipate any problems with drainage on farmland as a result of the cable work and would pay if any damage is caused.

I wrote this blog two years ago and it has been my most shared blog when other people come to me and say, "What can I buy my friend/mother/sister etc - what did you want/need" when they are sadly diagnosed with breast cancer (or any cancer) - I always send the link to this blog. So I have re-published, with a few additions. It's also been published HERE. You get the news... a friend or family member has just been diagnosed. You are in shock, you cry and you want to see them. Then... you wonder what you can do for them. Flowers? Chocolates? What do you even buy someone who's just received this awful news? Their life has just turned crazy, they're having more tests and scans, they're having surgery, they're organising their life so they can function with their kids through the coming months of chemo and radiotherapy... what can I do? What can I buy? What do I say? I have worked together with the amazing gals in my young breast cancer support group, to ensure that you know what to do if something like this affects a loved one. 0 in 0 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer in their lifetime... chances are that you will know someone, even if you don't just yet. 0 women die each day from Breast Cancer. Let's get started... I've broken them down into different categories. Why? To carry their drains and tubes after breast surgery - it's a great way to disguise them so you can get out and about. Host a lunch/dinner with close friends before the first chemo or surgery. It's such a great feeling to see everyone before you begin treatment. Knowing they're all in your corner cheering you on is really encouraging. These are beautiful gestures in the beginning because you are so busy with appointments, tests, scans and surgeries, it's not always possible for you to be able to see them. This tells them that you're thinking of them and it's also a great gesture if you're not really close friends, yet you want to show your support and good wishes as they take on their battle. I think I received about four beautiful hamper style gifts. They were tailored and meant the world to me. They included things like magazines for both hubby and myself. Herbal teas, candles and different items with tags attached, explaining what the purpose for the item was for. I had kind friends that knew exactly what to do (and tug on the heart strings... I was so incredibly moved by the generosity and genuine thought and effort that went into these gifts). To me it said "I'm thinking of you, I'm here for you and I just wish I could take it all away, but I can't" I felt both the pain of my friends and the warmth and love through their gifts. My girlfriends dropped around a pair of beautiful silk PJ's during the day before we all got together that night, it was such a special surprise. Can be taken to chemo or used at home on the lounge. Lip balms, Hand Cream, Nourishing body creams, essential oils - perhaps even a bath kit (steer clear of any nasty chemicals as the skin becomes very sensitive during treatment). Whilst an emotional gift to give, it will be truly appreciated. Don't underestimate the old-fashioned ‘hand written' card - it honestly means the world. This time round I've had a special friend of mine send a card and a little meaningful gift every few weeks. She's still doing it and it's 0.0 months post surgery and that is the most beautiful thing because she understands that whilst the heightened stress dims down, the emotional rollercoaster continues - her act of friendship on a regular basis really reaches out and says that she loves and cares for me and I value her so much for this. I kept every single card I received. A beautiful notepad - Where they can document side effects and questions to take to each medical appointment. I know The Grace Files do beautiful journals. Cotton gloves and rich moisturiser - your hands dry out A LOT particularly because you wash your hands so much for the fear of catching germs and getting sick during chemo. Books - I'd suggest fiction so they can escape reality. (Beware: there are plenty of books about cancer... what to eat, how to treat, alternative medical opinions etc - unless you know your friend really REALLY well. Be careful... she may not be ready for any kind of self help book or a book that says she can cure her cancer by changing her diet). I know personally, when I was diagnosed, I was soooooo angry about it. I didn't seek complimentary information until much later down the track, so be careful with book choices as you may unintentionally offend. All these ‘comforts' are truly appreciated and might be just the thing to put a smile on their face. (Caution: some people stray from religion when diagnosed with a life threatening illness so a Religious gift may be offensive. Not everyone turns to religion in difficult times). Food - Freezer friendly or call ahead to let them know you are dropping something off. Perhaps between friends you can organise a roster so there isn't an inundation of food and then nothing when they need it the most. It was soooooo helpful to have meals dropped off - even if I didn't have an appetite, I knew my family was being looked after (since I'm the cook of the family). It also offers them an opportunity to eat well when they simply can't be bothered (energy is certainly not running high during treatment). Online Roster - This time round, diagnosis two, four years later a beautiful friend of mine organised a food roster with the other kindy mums. They did it through this site Take Them a Meal and it worked brilliantly. Initially I had family staying post surgery so we didn't require any meals, yet after that I was on my own with a husband who travels for work. I opted to have two meals a week delivered just to help me out. The flexibility of this website allows you to tailor which days you would like meals. The other huge benefit of an online roster, is that people can nominate what they would like to cook for you, and then everyone can see what is being made - i.e. you don't end up with ten lasagnes. I was so appreciative of the support I received from my son's kindergarten community (particularly only having lived in our new city for six months - what a beautiful community we have moved to). Groceries - Drop off some fresh fruit and veg - this is an incredible gift to receive, particularly if your loved one has a children or many mouths to feed. Aloe Vera Plant - This was one of the most thoughtful gifts from a fellow cancer fighter and friend. I used the Aloe Vera on my radiotherapy burns - it was a Godsend. My mum rubbing aloe vera into my radiotherapy burns. Offer to attend medical appointments even if they have their husband or partner or parent etc. I remember the week I was diagnosed, we were in Sydney and in JUST one day, I saw my breast surgeon, had to get another urgent biopsy, saw a fertility specialist, an oncologist, back to the fertility specialist and back again to the breast surgeon (yep one crazy, emotionally charged day, my head was spinning). My hubby and I had my sister in law come to some of the appointments just to be an extra set of ears. We had so many decisions to make with regard to IVF and the type of breast surgery I was going to have... I was distracted and my head was not clear - I was too busy being shocked and afraid that I might die and not see my children grow. Having my sister in law with us meant that she could recall the information that we'd forgotten. By having a One Stop ‘update' shop so to speak is a great way to lessen the burden of replying to 00 texts and 00 phone calls when you are exhausted. I didn't do this, but I think it's a great idea. Sadly, cancer creates a ‘big arse' mess and it changes everything. All of a sudden ‘home life' is not as it was and things are stressful, sad and tense at times. Kids and partners feel the pain too. They need a break just as much as ‘mum'. Offer to take the kids out for the day for some fun (so they can still be kids). Educate yourself (my blog is a great place to start). Anything in Blogtober (0000) or my current Blogtober (0000) will give you an insight into feelings, treatments etc. You can also check out Cancer Council Australia and National Breast Cancer Foundation Australia. Listen - REALLY listen - if they've chosen you to talk to then they value your friendship (or they wouldn't bother). It's really exhausting to talk, so they've picked you for a reason. We face really big decisions throughout treatment, sometimes we will want to talk about the same thing over and over again - are you right for the job? Create laughter - lots of it. Don't wait for them to reach out - you need to reach in (a quote from my hubby - he said this to my friends right from the start "Bec won't reach out you need to be there and you need to reach in" he said). Offer open-ended invitations - maybe it's a no to coffee this week, but perhaps a yes next week when they're feeling better and need company. Ensure all presents and offers of support are with no strings attached. Don't expect a written thank you or for them to write a text to the ten people who dropped food off this week (whilst we try as hard as we can - the very thought of sitting with your phone to write 00 messages or call 00 people is utterly exhausting). When I felt good, I wanted to embrace my family and try as hard as I could to show them that their mum and wife still existed. Trust in the fact that no matter how great or small the gesture, your thoughts, actions of good will, love and prayers mean the absolute world to anyone fighting cancer. P.S. Don't forget them after treatment - Post treatment is one of the most difficult and isolating stages to overcome. A lot of woman suffer from shock and delayed realisation of what they've been through in the past months. They need your support and friendship more than ever when they've ticked that last treatment box. P.P.S. If you'd like to keep up-to-date with Blogtober, you can do so HERE.

In order to become a Certified Individual Consultant, consultants must undergo an objective and standardised certification process conducted by an independent auditor. The first step is a call or an e-mail to the secretariat of Österreichisches PR-Gütezeichen, which will provide you with the basic information. Next, the auditors from XERO will explain the certification process to you. If required, you can also have a meeting with representatives of Österreichisches PR-Gütezeichen. After this, you will be made an offer by XERO for certification and - if you are convinced - you can sign the contract there and then. You then prepare for the audit based on the standard. In the course of the audit, the maturity level and quality of implementation of the quality management system are ultimately evaluated. There is, however, much more than that to an audit, namely the collection of information and evidence. In comparisons of target and actual performance, it is determined if the required standards are actually implemented in practice and if they seem appropriate in their current form to reach the defined targets. The evaluation is made in the form of a comprehensive, confidential audit report which is prepared after the audit has been completed and contains all of the ideas, suggestions for improvement and remarks that are intended to help optimise the quality management system. The certificate that is issued by the certification body upon successful completion of an audit is valid for two years and can be subsequently extended by means of a recertification audit. A licence fee is payable to Österreichisches PR-Gütezeichen in order to be able to use the certificate. This amounts to EUR 000.00 per year for PRVA members. In the case of individual consultants who were not yet members of PRVA at the time the audit was performed, the PRVA membership fee for individual members must also be paid in addition to the licence fee.

Comments on "On the Street....Duo, Pitti Uomo" Sometimes one looks good in his ensemble. Then somehow a pair looks even better. Great capture. Amazing! I think I love everything. Their hats and shoes especially. Cool! I prefer man on the left. Jeans of man on the right are too tight in my opinion, hah. Wow, what a classy pair! It's great to see two people with such distinctive matching styles & it looks like they think of every single detail in their outfits. I also love how it's very classy, and traditional but with a modern twist such as the jeans & socks. I like the black and white socks. these guys look so cool! i really love their hats and brogues! They are just perfect. Every detail. And they look like they might be twins? Those are statement socks I can get behind. Sweet. I LOVE this picture! Great style. when I'm older I want to be as sharp as these guys. Love these guys' style. Totally uniquely theirs. I must find this wall. I've seen it several times in your shots and there's always someone fabulous perched on it. Love the body language here. This is a good team. Both of them have an amazing style! The man on the right needs to have his hat re-blocked. Great capture! Great style...I'd love to know the story as to why they are so perfectly matched! The last two posts left me absolutely speechless! oh la la, les sapeurs!! Karan, why wait til you're older to look like these guys? Do it now. Be be bold or get old. wow, they look great...and you know i love beards. makes it even better. GOD! SO STYLISH! I love how they co-ordinated their outfits. Both of them have hats, glasses, jackets, ties and even brooches!! The guy on the left has a more classy approach to his outfit with a relaxed silhouette(his trousers). While the other has a more fitted outfit giving off a more young and carefree vibe. they look very sharp and wouldn't be surprised if they're twins. amazing shoes! both have big style...I would like to see them standing to discover they troussers, 're jeans dont? Great picture, and the man on the left has stolen my heart. These two look very chic! where do you find such stylish people??!! ok the title says where, but i just wish the people in my town looked half as good!! AMAZING photo! I really love it, and can't stop staring at it! Looks so perfect, stylish but also unconstrained! I love the socks with the shoes and cuffed jeans, love the tweed, and love the double breasted blazer. Coincidently all looks I also love in womenswear! love the mix of jeans with the dapper jackets...a high-low mix. once again the ankle area is a focal point. love that feather in his hat. Great style in any case! The shoes, the trousers, the blazers, the hats - the pose... Double perfection! They must go everywhere together, they complete each other so well. Loving the feathers, heats, socks, everything! A world of wonderful. Love it. So awfully nice and sweet. For some reason I am reminded of Tolkien. Ridiculously awesome pair of friends. Especially love the shoes of the man on the right (Dark Jacket). What are those shoes!! me wants! Actually, what's the Jacket too?! very nice clothing! One of my favorite pictures! Love the style. wow wow wow! is it a real life?! looks like an old film:) great photo + great style! I love when guys dress like this! This reminds me of something from the movie Idlewild - the one with Outkast? These guys look great, confident, and totally put together. They are a duo indeed! Lovely hats, and shoes, and poses too! Wow, I can't decide which one is cooler. They both look like they just jumped out a album cover of a really cool band I'd love to listen to. And the hat comes back as we all can see :D And no one should ever care if nerd glasses are in or not. Some people just look awesome with them. Great shoes and great men! they look great. proper dapper looking gents. good work. I want them to be my uncles!! I love this! perfection from head to toe. Loved them! Style and simplicity. What an interesting picture. It's like there's a story about this picture. Love their socks. Love their classy look. Love your great shot. Love it it's like they are kind of channeling Will I Am though. hello, just loooove your blog. I'm from Lebanon and here we are called the paris of the middle east. I don't know with all the problems we are havi=ng but we are still a country that love fashion. I would like to ask you, I am on the heavy side . But do you always take pictures of the lovely thin. I do believe there are some lovely chubby fashionista out there. Not that i'm complaining of your pictures. Am hooked to your blog. I am a shoe fanatic, specially mens shoes. A NEW FAN FROM BEIRUT, LEBANON. P.S. My 00 year old son is too. You make me want to take out my camera and take pictures of my countrymen fashion. Knowing they both look fit, perfectly coordinated and that all eyes will be on them as they walk through the market on their way to lunch, Simon and Marco, take a break to touch base with their friends before meeting them at the cafe. With fashion choices made so confidently, all there will be left to decide is "red" or "white" with lunch. Amazing. Are they twins? And I love, love, love the hats. Nice pic; however, I have the impression that- although they look gorgeous- these two gentlemen fail to support their outfit entirely. As if it was chosen for them by someone else. Not convinced, I'm afraid. Wow, they're both perfect... especially the guy on the right. Double Trouble. Has anyone said that yet? ... I didn't see it. Wow - they got every last detail. Bravo. details make the big picture! I like it so much that i reblogged it. My favorite part, Stripes and Oxfords. Genius combination. Love it. loving this pair...I really want to know what they're talking about! Elegance with bluejeans.Incredible but thrue. Coooool in every single detail!!!!! The right to apparel choice! These looks demonstrate the populist effect that a great pair of blue jeans can have on a tweedy outfit. The blue jeans paired with the layering on top signal worldliness. This wordly look is capped, literally by chapeaus which add a touch of reserve. It is nice to see such a pulled-together look. the look amazing ! love their style and hats. I like how their legs cross towards each other. ok they have brown oxfords, wonky coloured socks and spiffy fedoras...but you know, i want to imagine that they didnt even plan this, and that they have that eeirie twin thing in which one calls the other to go for coffee and this is the result......aaahhhh my imagination. twins are some of the only people in the world i am jealous of...because youre born with a best friend. Just saw your video from Intell, I really liked your work, but now, I really love it. I've seen them in pitti and also in Bread&Butter in Berlin! AH they look so fantastic! Oh, to be as fashionable as them... Great photo, it's really wonderful. These guys are perfect from head to toe>Love the bird's feather on the hat and the socks! What a great shot! How cool are their brogues?!! Love a man in a hat and blazer! The shoes are delish and the striped socks are very chic. I do agree with one comment that said the one on the right is wearing his jeans way too tight. We must be mindful that there is a big diff between "tailored" and "tight". The big watch is nice too! Did they get dressed together or do they just have incredibly similar styles, i wonder? Also, love the scarf on the guy on the right, as does they guy on the left by the look of things! Love the striped socks! love the scarf! watch, broche, feather... all the details! Great pic! Are these two very cool guys twins do you think? Great photo. I love the scruffy facial hair. Good contrast to the structured outfits. the whole picture looks surreal, like its from another world, i want to be there! The guy on the right is spectacularly dressed. The guy on the right's hat is a bit out of place and his jeans too tight. Wow! Don't they look good together...or separately. Are they wearing the same hat? Where the foreground man simply punched out the crown and unrolled the brim? This is a very classic shot. I love the shoe/sock combination of the men, paired with the rolled dark-wash jeans. I wish more men in the south incorporated this style into their day-to-day wardrobe. Very sophisticated photo and well-framed! who are these two? i see them in east london sometimes! riding on route 000 in their amazingness! These guys know what to look in style is all about! Intuitive mix of different generations of dressing but what makes it great is the addition of that era/style of beard and also glasses. Very unique! Such charm! Love the fact that they are sitting in the same way! You are very talented! I just started following your blog and its my favorite one to watch! But are those leather sleeves on the darker jacket? I'm in complete agreement with the comments about the feathered hat gentleman's jeans being a bit too snug. Such huge differences for such similar looks . dapper DAPPER dapper DAPPER.... love the socks love the shoes!! These two guys are so sharp, I'm sure Scott cut his finger when he taped one on the shoulder to ask if he could take their picture. Does anyone know who they are? What type of work do they do in the industry? If I came across two men who looked this cool while walking I would be unable to move for a long while! What a dapper and stunning pair of great looking men with such amazing style. Double dapper delicious! Great capture! They are the epitome of cool. Amazing!I think I've never seen two men dressed so cool and matching at the same time! where is this? i need to go where these tall and stylish people are gathering. You got to admit, these two are slammin'--I really dig the hat on the right, but homie's tan shoes and relaxed jeans on the left draw the eye down low. Cool pair! Wonder where those gentlemen are from? you could be the man to put a hat on all the men of 0000, i hope, an-mhaith! I love the outfits on these two! Especially the guy on the right, I adore how the hat and the blazer match and his socks are striped! Groovy, very current, updated S.A townships wear? Cool man, cool. These guys are too cool! Something disconcerting about grown men who co ordinate their clothes. These gents are looking mighty dapper. I love the combinations of textures and patterns in their ensembles. Wonderful pitcure of a stylish pair of gents. Of course, I'm always thrilled to see how individuals put themselves together and these two just hit it right out of the park! I love the way they wear those hats with such aplomb with the slightly wild beards and "nappy" Afros proving once again that style is always marked by individual expression. I love the suit-like top and the jeans as a bottom. So elegant and clean. And modern. Woah. Effortlessly cool. Everything just works! Classic yet quirky.

This thesis is about a comparison between two models for building a system, a traditional model versus cloud model. The thesis looks through the framework which is the history, present day and the future of the It in the church and the Church Council. It also takes a look at the history, the present day, security threats and costs of the systems. The type of this study is constructive. There was a lot of material in use. A major part of the material was found through the university's Nelli database search and the material and references describe and support the thesis well. There are also thoughts and facts about the information technology in the church, rising from the writer's own experience. Valuable help was also received via an interview from the manager of the ICT-Management Unit, and also from partners who are in cooperation with the church. Despite being the most talked about subject in the IT world, there was not much generally scientific information about cloud services, only some researches covering a small specific area. For example, defining the costs of the service was difficult. However, there are some pricing models introduced in this paper.

Window screens can be made of aluminum, fiberglass, metal wire, nylon, or polyester. Less common materials include galvanized steel, brass, copper, and stainless steel. Some screens are stretched in a wood or metal frame, while others roll into a pocket when not in use. Protection. Window screens keep insects, animals, leaves, and debris from getting inside the home. They also offer protection against the elements. An open window with a screen will allow less water in during a downpour than one without a screen. Fresh airflow. Screens permit fresh airflow, while repelling insects and debris. Reduces sunlight and heat gain. In hot climates, dense window screens are used to reduce sunlight and heat gain. This minimizes cooling costs and sun damage to furnishings, carpet, and floors. Fiberglass solar screens reduce UV rays by 00 percent. Visibility is reduced from the inside, but the screens are difficult to see through from the outside, increasing privacy. Denting. Depending on the type of material, window screens can dent when hit or pushed. If the material isn't durable, it can even tear. Fiberglass doesn't dent and it's less expensive than other types of materials. Reduces sunlight. Dense or opaque screens reduce the amount of sunlight that can get into the room. This can make the space appear darker. High Quality vs. Low Quality Window Screens: What Differentiates Them?

About a month ago I told the story of how the IRS had, for reasons it would not reveal, modified my 0000 income tax return to erase my personal exemption. I called to ask about this, listened to several minutes of the Nutcracker Suite, was probed for revealing information that might help their collection process, and then given no useful information at all. So I filed a 0000x to try to reinstate my personal exemption. Since then I haven't heard anything from them. Today, I went to Where's My Stimulus Payment to see what feedback that site gives to folks like me whose stimulus payment is likely to be confiscated for unpaid back taxes. Fantastic. So I call the IRS again. I tap in a bunch of numbers to bushwhack through their phone menu, then listen to 00 more minutes of Nutcracker Suite. Agent Calloway comes on and asks me a set of identifying questions and then, after putting me on hold for about four minutes, is completely unable to help me in any way. She doesn't know how many exemptions I have in my current tax record, doesn't have any record of anyone else claiming me as a dependent, doesn't know if my 0000x has been received and processed - nothing. She suggests I try calling back next week . Thanks to Check Your Premises for plugging The Picket Line .

Landmines are often a threat to humans that deal with them due to their explosive nature. Hence, there is a need to find alternative solutions to minimize the human risk. The International Campaign wants to ban landmines saying that these explosive devices are often detonated by the proximity or contact of a person. That means even if a child reaches to its vicinity, they may explode. Landmines are normally placed underground or on the ground to thwart enemy forces. But, they remain a huge threat to soldiers. In this context, a 00-year-old boy from Gujarat invented a drone named EAGLE A0. His name is Harshwardhansinh Zala. He designed a drone to deal with landmines without any risk to humans. He said that this is the first of its kind technology and this type of technology is not available anywhere at present. He describes the technology as multi-spectral land mine detection technology and it helps detect mines. Despite receiving several offers from abroad, Zala does not want to go. He wishes to help Indian army with his technology. He hopes the services of his drone may be utilized in the Indian Army as well as CRPF and save the lives of Indian soldiers from being martyred. The Ministry of Civil Aviation issued new National Drones Policy on drones. With this, flying drones or remotely-piloted aircrafts have become legal in India since December 0, 0000. The new rules clarify when, where, and how drones can be operated within India. The new policy also states that nano drones do not need registration or license. Those weigh less than 000 grams or equal come under this. Zala participated in Maker Fest in January 0000 which had been held in his city. The program is intended to support innovation and entrepreneurship in India.

Here is a story from WFAA News 0 regarding the recent ongoings in Collin County and includes an interview of me. I'll post my analysis of this soon.... MCKINNEY - Collin County First Assistant District Attorney Greg Davis was indicted on a state jail felony charge of tampering with a governmental record. The legal action comes five days before he was scheduled to leave the job. This is the latest shot fired in a political battle between factions at the Collin County Courthouse. Greg Davis is the No. 0 person in the Collin County DA's office. A grand Jury indictment alleges he "intentionally and knowingly made, presented, and used a governmental record with knowledge of its falsity." But inside the courthouse, charges and counter-charges - with indictments behind them - have been flying for months. Hunter Biederman is a Collin county lawyer who also writes a courthouse blog. "Attorneys have been indicted before; judges have been indicted before; but not the back-and-forth like we've seen here in Collin County," he said. Outgoing District Attorney John Roach launched an investigation of district Judge Suzanne Wooten. She was ultimately indicted for organized criminal activity involving her election. Then a grand jury affiliated with her court began investigating Roach and his office. That led to an investigation of clerks working in Roach's office. All the while, a special prosecutor investigated Roach's investigation. That led to Davis' indictment on Tuesday. Davis' attorney says his client is shocked by the indictment, and the legal community is uneasy. "It affects us every day," Biederman said. "If the DA's being charged, that's going to affect us. If a judge is being charged, that's going to affect us." In five days, the power in the Collin County Courthouse will change as the current DA leaves office. But the legal turmoil is likely to go on, as the cases of Greg Davis and Judge Wooten progress through the courts.

Quest exists to equip kids to bring God glory by making disciples of all nations. We desire for kids to have a personal relationship with Jesus that impacts the way they live their life and those around them. We're excited to bring kids along on a great worship adventure we call QUEST.

Im running this small test and I keep getting a memory error that I have no idea why its happening. i know its super specific but i would appreciate any help. Could you post the full logs please? Posting on behalf of Edgar. Here is one of the logs from the crashes. They're all pretty much identical. I am getting this same error. David, were you able to resolve it? If so, could you please post how you did so? Or, anybody else that might have some additional insight on how to resolve this issue, your comments will be greatly appreciated. I tried to duplicate David's error last night, but his code sample is not complete (there's no kernel, and he leaves out his OpenCL init code), so I can't compile and run it. Do you have a small, compilable example I can use to try to debug this? Oh my ... How can they expect any help without providing at least a SSCCE?

I see many managers become frustrated when they're asked how their products and services are different than the competition. Generally, it's because they're not. Take a hard look at your products and services. What's the differentiated value they provide to customers? If you can't come up with at least three valid points, the book may be shutting on your business as well.

One pound of raspberries equals one pound of sugar. Which means equal quantities of both fruit and sugar. This recipe makes approximately 0.0 pounds of jam. Put the fruit into a large pan and mas it with a spoon or potato masher. Heat gently until the fruit starts to boil. Add the sugar and simmer over a low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar has dissolved boil rapidly until setting point is reached. Transfer to sterilised jam jars and seal. There are various ways to test if your jam has reached setting point. The one I use is extremely straight forward and is called the wrinkle test. Spoon a little jam onto a cold plate. Allow the jam to cool and then push it with your finger. If the jam has reached setting point it will wrinkle on the top. If the jam shows only slight wrinkling, boil for a few minutes longer and test again.

Earlier this month, Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Ahmad Al Sabah has pardoned 00-year Ugandan domestic worker Fatuma Nambi, who was sentenced to 0 years for having a baby outside of wedlock. The Emiri Pardon Committee recommends candidates jailed on minor charges and with a record of good behavior to the Emir. Fatuma was released last week and returned to Uganda with her baby after serving eleven months. Migrant-Rights.org had earlier documented her story. She spoke to us on her return to Uganda. Her life was changed when her employer's family went to Mecca for Umrah, leaving her alone to take care of a three-story home. She began to get close to some Ugandan men working as security guards, visiting the duo in the evenings to watch some local Ugandan music and kill the boredom. She assumed she was safe because the two men shared a single room but on one of such visits, one man left the room. That day she got pregnant. When she told the man responsible, he advised her to return to Uganda, and cause no problems. She requested emergency leave from her employer without divulging her pregnancy, but her sponsor refused, saying she must complete the two-year contract. The relationship with the man also deteriorated as he assumed Fatuma refused to quit her job and return to Uganda for a safe delivery. Migrant domestic workers have little access to reproductive health care. Migrant domestic workers who become pregnant are stuck with only dangerous choices: conceal the pregnancy and the baby, or face jail time and eventual deportation. Newborns are frequently abandoned, or in the worst case scenarios murdered, to avoid punishment. Domestic workers are put through a trial, often have zero access to legal support or even translation services. Though mothers and children are held in special prisons together, emotional support and psychological care is not provided. Uganda does not have a proper pre-departure orientation for domestic workers. One night, after the family retired to their bedrooms, she gave birth alone in her bedroom. All day, she had struggled to mask her labour pains from her bosses. The next morning, she had resumed her daily chores, changing little in her routine except that she now had the task of hiding her baby; "I kept her almost in every place, from the cupboard to the kitchen, the bathroom and even my bedroom," she said. On the second day, the baby cried louder. Her madam asked where the sound was coming from, and it was then that she admitted to having a baby. "Madam's first main concern was to be sure the father of the baby was not living in the house, she demanded to see the baby, asking questions like who is the father and when she noticed the eyes were black she was relieved," she said. Her ‘madam' then started making calls, asking friends on how she could help her maid and the baby. Everyone advised her to surrender her to police. For another four days, the two kept it a secret from the rest of the family that there was a new baby in the house. The madam even suggested to Fatuma to drop the baby at the mosque in the morning so that the government could take care of it, but Fatuma refused. Once the head of the family was told, he immediately panicked and told Fatuma they had to take her to the hospital. The hospital administrators called police and there, Fatuma was arrested. Fatuma said her court hearings were all in Arabic and she had no legal representation. She could not understand a single thing said in court. She was repeatedly presented in front of the judge and then dismissed for about two months, until her sentencing. Prior to her sentencing, the prosecution team used some English to give her the option of revealing the father's name in exchange for a reduced sentence. She refused. In prison, Fatuma had asked her family to send her the money she had sent home as savings, in order to arrange for a lawyer. She then found out that her brother had stolen all of her money. Wage-theft by relatives is a common issue for domestic workers. Her prison room held other mothers with children outside of wedlock. Those serving the full five-year sentence stayed together, while those who had named the fathers of their children, and received half the sentencing, stayed in another room. She recalled some positive moments, including that children could play with one another, and that there was plenty of food available.

Every day brings a new destination, and no single day will ever be the same again for Marty Davis, former Portlander and publisher of Just Out. Marty ran the much-loved newspaper highlighting Portland's GBLT community from 0000 to 0000. The publishing business took hit after hit, and with heavy heart Marty finally concluded she had no other choice than to shut it down. Finding herself suddenly retired, she hit rock-bottom and knew she needed to find a way to recover. "I guess the thing people were surprised to find out about me is that I really woke up one day and decided to travel. I actually did it. I am doing it," she laughs softly. Selling literally everything she owned, including her home of 00 years, this spirited lady had only one concern as she began to plan her travels: her beloved dog Shasta. Would she make it? Could she withstand a long journey on the road? A tri-colored Australian Sheppard, Shasta is 00 years old and has some health issues, including arthritis and a large benign tumor on her chest. Marty worried how she would fare on the road. Their vet prescribed arthritis medication and a "let's try this" approach. Her mobility has greatly improved. "Shasta said, ‘Oh hell yes,' says Marty, adding that Shasta is loving life and thriving. Marty grew up in Northern California and attended Shasta High School. When adopting her third dog in 0000 from Oregon Humane, she knew she'd name the dog Shasta, a name she'd always loved. Browsing ‘mugs shots,' there seemed to be nothing but Pit Bulls, she says. Then suddenly, like divine intervention, there was a beautiful Australian Sheppard named . . . Shasta! It was love at first sight. "Right now we are here in Portland to visit friends, check in with the vet, and attend a few events," says Marty. "Luckily I have my one decent outfit and my one pair of shiny black patent shoes. So my ‘shoe' is the shiny black patent pair as they keep one foot in my old life. I wear jeans and walking shoes in my new life, and believe that life is too short to wear uncomfortable shoes," she says. Seeing small-town America is all part of the adventure as Davis has no interest in freeways, cities or tourist traps. Getting to the heart of America is what she finds most intriguing. Little out-of-the-way places, the back roads, are her idea of heaven. "There is still a lot of what used to be out there," says Marty. "Some of my favorite places have been the Black Hills of North Dakota, Southern Utah with its canyons, deserts and rock formations ... it always seems to draw you back. Devil's Tower National monument in Wyoming is just incredible," shares this avid photographer. Having Netflix, HBO, and Showtime keeps Davis company when she can get service. "I read a lot of books as I love to read. In fact, as a kid I loved to read Erma Bombeck; she was my favorite author, and I wanted to be a comic or humorist writer when I was younger. I have a subscription to Oyster, and for $00 a month I can download all kinds of books. My main companion of course is Shasta," she adds. With no plans to ever go down the same road twice, this avid photographer, journalist and explorer is finding her own way on the back roads of small town America ...just her and her beloved dog ... finding a little bit of wonderful each and every day. June 00, 0000 by Spot Magazine.

In Part 0, we discussed the influences leading to the Customer Revolution and the major shifts in marketing thinking over the past generation concluding with the tendency to misattribute and measure the impact of social content. So, what have we learned? While the act of engagement is unlikely to drive direct sales, social recommendation certainly does. Through research executed in conjunction with Facebook and Datalogix, we discovered that for many consumer brands engagement doesn't directly translate to sales. For the engager, it's really more an appreciation of the content rather than a sign of their intent to rush out and buy your snack brand. Liking a brand's posts on Facebook, watching their video on YouTube, or sharing their funny meme is no more accurate an indication of purchase intent, brand affinity or loyalty, than when you wish a high school acquaintance "Happy Birthday", tell a distant friend that their newborn is adorable, or like that your Uncle Ron had a birthday. However, while we found that the act of engagement is unlikely to drive direct sales, what happens after the engagement in the form of social recommendation certainly does. As good content is frequently shared from and consumed by trusted sources and friends, we learn from his engagement that our friend Mark is a fan of GoPro through the video he shared, and we become inspired to record our weekend hiking trips and buy a GoPro a few weeks later. Why is this important to making effective branded content? Because, at its essence, I believe that branded content - like any artistic endeavor - is meant to serve a greater purpose. As opposed to many art forms, which could be said to serve the soul of humankind, branded content's purpose could be said to serve the mind of the customer. By educating, enlightening and entertaining them, often at the same time, branded content provides brands with the opportunity to tell stories and paint pictures that provide insight into who the brand is, what it stands for and why it exists. So, what makes branded content different from any other form of content? Any goodcontent will be steeped in the expression of something that motivates, intrigues and/or inspires people. That is what makes it good. If you buy into the old advertising premise that any brand mentions are good marketing, then certainly any good content that interjects your brand into an experience is a positive thing. If the estimates are true, about US$00 billion are being spent each year inserting brands into entertainment content. Sometimes, the placement reinforces the brand persona, as with the exhilarating automotive placements that have become as much a part of the mystique of the James Bond films as the gadgets and villains. Albert R. Broccoli, co- creator of the James Bond franchise, is often credited with the popularization of product placement for his pioneering use of the desirable cars, luxurious beverages and cool gadgets used for over 00 years by the coolest super spy to grace the silver screen. For automotive brands that wanted to portray an ultra-cool, high-performance lifestyle that people everywhere love, it's hard to beat that sort of brand integration. In 0000, for the film ‘The Man with the Golden Gun', American Motors Corporation paid $0 million USD for the rights to showcase their cars. Since that time, the price to play has steadily increased with BMW spending about US$00 million per movie in recent years. However, much of that US$00 billion is spent on less meaningful, impression-measured product integrations that aren't really intended to further brand development as much as they're meant to reinforce general awareness. When a character on screen takes a sip of a particular brand of beverage, it's not meant to create love, desire, or even a mild re-evaluation of that drink's role in our lives. That, to me, is one primary difference between branded content and brand integration - purpose. Why are we, as businesses, doing this? Does our role in the content expand an idea or further a cause that's important to us? Is our relationship with the customer better for having put this content into the world? Does it meet the criteria of educating, enlightening and/or entertaining people? This is where being ‘customer obsessed' comes in. If good content motivates, intrigues or inspires, then surely the key to making good content is understanding what creates those emotions in people, our customers. The idea of integrating psychology into marketing is nothing new, at least not to the accomplished brand strategist. We live and breathe strategies that bring to life psychological concepts proffered by the classics like Maslow and the contemporary ‘Psychology Today' bestsellers like Cialdini. But the future of good marketing is destined go beyond applying basic psychological tenets and superficial research to find opportunities to inject brands into identified behavioural patterns. Copenhagen-based business consultancy ReD Associates defines its mission as "putting a deep understanding of real people back at the center of business decision-making", and that feels more appropriate for 0000 and beyond. We've defined ourselves as ‘The Customer Obsessed Digital Agency®' and our mission is to find insights, moments and actionable strategies that matter to a brand's customers and its bottom line. The customer obsessed explore data, economics, psychology and sociology to get to an understanding of why we do things. To put it simply, in 0000 and into the next generation, you can't be a leading brand marketer and not be customer obsessed. More importantly, you will never be customer obsessed without a dedication to all the social sciences that serve to better understand people as people. This includes economics, anthropology, environmental sciences, geography, history, politics, sociology and of course psychology. While that is a hugemouthful to swallow, much less digest, we know that what makes us human is defined every day by many factors impacting our decisions to buy, not to buy, to advocate, buy more and try new things. Understanding what your customers want, need and care about - and why it's important to them - will separate the customer obsessed from the lagging rest. People are infinitely more complex and consumers are wildly smarter than they are often given credit for in the pitch room and planning session. At the same time, they can be wildly predictable if you take the time to test the options and understand the social confluences that help people make decisions. Today, the data we're capable of obtaining and mining about our customers is staggering. And that Big Data is an electric spark that can quickly illuminate a room of marketers wanting an easy answer. Yet - even with the advances in analytics platforms and customer listening tools - most marketers are still not going beyond the dashboard and topline demographic profiles to understand their customers' behaviour. Big Data might tell you the ‘what' ‘where' ‘when' and ‘how' of your customers' decisions, but it usually doesn't tell you the answer to the most important question: ‘why'. What are the most important questions your company is looking to answer? For the majority of businesses, they will revolve around a better understanding of your most important relationships (customer), business decisions (product /service offering) and strategic business options (paths to success). A dedication to collecting and understanding the customer data available to you, and observing it through a social sciences lens, is a strong start to unlocking answers to those tough questions. Through that discovery of the ‘why', we will better understand what motivates, intrigues and inspires people so that we can educate, enlighten and entertain them with good branded content. How can we measure the impact of experiential marketing?

Most universities have a "Course Equivalency Guide", which shows how your courses transfer to their school. Know before you go by comparing the LCC courses you've taken to requirements at your desired transfer institution. It is always recommended that you reach out to your prospective school's admissions department and academic advisor early, to learn about their requirements. Each degree & program may have additional course requirements outside of your AA degree, or even a separate application. Not all universities have the same requirements for accepting transfer courses from community and technical colleges. Questions about transferring? View the Transfer Information page on the left, meet with your LCC faculty advisor, meet with an Entry/Transfer Advisor or stop by the University Center. Advising and Entry Services is conveniently located in the lobby of the Admissions Center. Make an appointment to discuss your future by visiting the Entry Center in person during regular business hours (M-F: 0 am - 0 pm), email [email protected], or call (000) 000-0000. Registration and Financial Aid counters open at 00 am on Fridays.

As the cold weather sets in I would like to use my weekly reflection as a public service announcement and the announcement is please don't forget to check in on your elderly neighbors or your neighbors who live by themselves. Please make sure that their paths are cleared, that there are lights in the windows, and smoke coming out of the chimney. Be the kind of neighbor that you would like to have if the situation was reversed. It is by being a good neighbor that the love of God is made known.

Malgorzata Dzierzon and Renaud Wiser, on the ground floor in NEST. New Movement Collective was founded in 0000 by 00 dancer/choreographers, many of them connected with Rambert (Dance Company). Their aim is to perform unusual events in unusual spaces, working with adventurous collaborators. Last year's project, Casting Traces (review), took place in a former dairy in Battersea (now Testbed 0); NEST occupies a disused former chapel in the West End. Built in 0000, the Welsh Chapel was turned into a noisy nightclub in the 0000s, then into a dodgy pub. It's been reclaimed as a performance space, to be redeveloped and run by Stone Nest, a recently established arts organisation, which commissioned NEST to bring the building back to life. On the ground floor, NMC in NEST. We're led to a balcony under the domed ceiling, looking down on figures in white on the floor below. They tumble and cling to tall metal structures like sailors hanging onto the spars of a tempest-tossed ship. The scaffolding frames were designed by architects from Studio Weave to suit the towering space and the narrative thread of a sea voyage to strange places. A stormy sound-score by Anna Meredith and Christopher Mayo reverberates through the building, sweetening sometimes into seductive melodies. Disorienting lighting effects by Marshmallow Laser Feast challenge all sense of perspective. In the opening sequence, patterns of light suggest surging waves, lasers criss-crossing scrambling duets in which one partner seems to be trying to rescue a drowning shipmate. We may have joined Odysseus's crew in the first of many storms that beset them, stirred up by the gods as punishment for their misdoings. Alexander Whitley and Anthony Missen, on the balcony in NEST. Does it matter whether you can recognise episodes from Homer's Odyssey in the various sections of NEST? No, if you're enjoying making your own discoveries, watching agile performers in mysterious set-ups without any expectation of a narrative line. But yes, it's intriguing to spot references to the unfolding saga in the confidence that the wanderer will find his way home. Or at least that's my interpretation of what I experienced. The choreography, created by the 00 core performers, is highly organised in most of the sections. In the first shipwreck scene, bodies in turmoil hurtle off each other, form up in lines, combine to clash the metal frames together and revolve them at speed. Maybe the ship has been whirled between the twin dangers of Scylla and Charybdis; maybe the crew have been trapped inside the structures to make them sail away from the Land of the Lotus Eaters, a dopey paradise. The action moves to an alcove with a round reflective mirror - the cyclops Polyphemus's single eye. Odysseus had to use all his cunning to escape from the cyclops's cave. Here, Jonathan Goddard as Odysseus seems to be remembering his wife, Penelope, dreaming of his return; or perhaps alluring Gemma Nixon is not Penelope but the enchantress Circe, who held him pleasurably captive. Next, we descend down flights of stairs to the underworld, the Land of the Dead. Blue neon tubes illuminate stumbling zombie figures, shrouded in mist. (Signs outside the building's vents reassure passers-by that smoke is part of the performance, not a fire in the basement.) Odysseus encountered the spectres of dead crew members, departed heroes and a host of lost souls before continuing his voyage in the land of the living. Back upstairs at ground - or sea - level, performers sway as though in the hold of a ship in a swelling sea. Dapples of light suggest phosphorescence, lute music the sound of siren voices. Swirling clusters of dancers support their fellows aloft as if swimming to certain destruction. In Homer's account, Odysseus saved his crew by plugging their ears; only he could hear the sirens' singing. We leave Goddard distraught and alone as we're instructed to explore the building on our own for 00 minutes. Jonathan Goddard and Gemma Dixon, on the ground floor in NEST. Installed in nooks and crannies, in rooms and corridors, performers, paintings and projections are to be found: a harpist, a prophet, a woman caught in the threads of a loom (Penelope?), pig-headed men transformed by Circe's spell. The sound of yet another storm summons us back to ground level, where we rediscover Goddard, making his way towards enmeshed metal structures that now resemble a palace - Odysseus's home on the island of Ithaca. He's not alone, although he's lost the last of his crew. He still has to deal with interlopers who coil and lunge around him until, finally, he encounters Penelope. Their duet of cautious, tender rapprochement (can they really trust each other?) is a double one: Goddard with Nixon, Renaud Wiser with Malgorzata Dzierzon. The ending is intimate, hard-won, human-scale in a labyrinthine space for a journey undertaken by spectators as well as performers. Dzierzon is credited as the producer of NEST, so plaudits must go to her for overseeing such an ambitious and successful undertaking. The production has a 00-strong team of artists and technicians, not to mention fund-raisers and supporters. Members of the Collective do much of their own marketing, with Joe Walkling designing their print and digital media, including an origami programme leaflet. All together, the multiple collaborators have worked out the right balance between structuring a performance so that everyone can see what's happening (unlike most site-specific events) and allowing spectators the freedom to explore the building in which it takes place.

Updated: Jan 00 at 00:00 p.m. A pair of sisters from Antigonish County has achieved another milestone in their blossoming hockey careers. Ella and Kara MacLean have been selected to skate for Team Nova Scotia in the 0000 Canada Winter Games. "It is going to be an honour for us to represent our province," Ella, 00, said. She noted she has received great feedback from people about their unforgettable experiences as athletes in the Games. "We are excited to have the chance to see [what it's like] and we expect it to be as exciting as everyone has been telling me," Ella added. "I think it is going to be amazing," she said. And, unlike most athletes, they will be able to share those memorable moments at a whole other level. The sisters agreed playing together in the Games will make the opportunity extra special. The sisters and their Team Nova Scotia teammates will participate in a four-day training camp, including an exhibition game, over the Christmas holidays. "I am going to focus on playing a defensive role," Ella said, when asked about what she hopes to bring to Team Nova Scotia. Known for her size, strength and offensive capabilities, including a heavy shot from the blue line, Ella noted she will try to take advantage of scoring opportunities when they arise. "I think I can provide my work ethic and ability to make plays," Kara said. She will be building on what is a growing reputation as an offensive talent, with the ability not only to score, but also to set-up her teammates. Earning a spot on Team Nova Scotia was the latest highlight of what has been a busy - and thrilling - few months for the daughters of Sean and Laura Lee MacLean. Late last summer, Kara headed to Shattuck-St. Mary's, a renowned preparatory school in Fairbault, Minnesota, whose alumni includes the likes of Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon. "It was a big decision," the Grade 00 student said, noting the challenge of moving so far away from home and her family. Kara added having ice time every day, along with improved training opportunities, has been beneficial. "It has been as great as I could have hoped," Kara said of her Shattuck-St. Mary's experience. In mid-November, back at the Antigonish Arena - where the sisters starting playing the sport they love - Ella became a member of the University of Maine Black Bears. Although she committed a couple years ago, on this national signing day for players heading to the NCAA, she signed on to take her skills to Orono, Maine next fall. "I am ready to start a new chapter and take on that challenge," Ella, who is in her second season with the Northern Subway Selects of the Nova Scotia Female Midget ‘AAA' Hockey League, said. "The pace of the game will be that much faster," Ella, who will receive a full five-year academic and athletic scholarship, said of her upcoming move to the varsity level south of the border. Leading up to that move, she noted she will continue to work on improving at every level, including her explosiveness. "I am looking forward to the challenge," she said. When they hit the ice later this winter for the Canada Games, it will not be the first time the sisters have skated together on the national stage. As members of the Northern Subway Selects, the played in the 0000 Esso Cup, a tournament that crowns the Canada champions in female midget ‘AAA' hockey. There are also familiar faces with the Hockey Nova Scotia program, having donned the blue and white on several occasions. And, closer to home, they laced up the blades with the Antigonish Minor Hockey Association; not to mention their first strides on the family rink. The next stop on the hockey road they are travelling - one they have often shared - is Red Deer, Alberta, which will host the Games, from Feb. 00 to Mar 0. "It is going to be a lot of fun," Kara said, as the sisters shared a smile.

I recently upgraded my vCenter Server and all the ESX hosts in my environment to version 0.0. I am seeing some strange behavior when configured thresholds are reached and rules move VMs between hosts. It's almost like the VM loses it storage. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any advice? Bumping this... I see vSphere 0.0 is not mentioned in the latest installation guide (v0.0.0) not is it mentioned in any of the subsequent release notes. Anyone know the word on 0.0 support? vCenter 0.0 will be supported in Turbonomic 0.0+. Please reach out to me at [email protected] if you would like to try out an Early Access build of Turbonomic 0.0.

0.The Trans Program came on suddenly during a drive and without any prior transmission performance symptoms. Points to an electrical problem. 0. Selector switch rings out OK and display tracks mode properly, so eliminated switch as contributor. 0. No codes are displayed, either stomp or using the Peake tool on the diagnostic connector. This probably rules out the trans speed sendor, since it the computer should show it bad if it caused the Tans Prog error. I reasoned that even if the speed sensor is bad, the fact that the computer doesn't show a code for it points to the computer being bad. 0. I cleaned all connections to the selector switch, as well as pulled and reseated the computer connector. Is there anyone out there that is willing to meet me here and allow me to try their EGS module in my car as a final diagnostic step before I buy a new module? I know it's alot to ask, but I figure it's worth a shot. After going over all the connections again, and recording all the sensor resistances I could measure, the culprit turned out to be the computer contacts. The second time I reseated the compuer after cleaning the contacts with alchohol the problem went away. It's been five months without a recurrance.

The Beatles, France, people too stupid to use a volume control, and, of course, the ubiquitous patent lawsuit show just how much everyone loves a winner, or at least getting a piece of the winner. Creative Technology, whose "Zen Patent" claim covers the iPod interface, trumpeted through press release today that the U.S. International Trade Commission is now involved in its dispute with Apple Computer. The complaint alleges violations of section 000 of the Tariff Act of 0000 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain portable digital media players that infringe Creative's ZEN Patent. Creative has requested that the ITC issue a permanent exclusion order and permanent cease and desist order. While a permanent exclusion order could theoretically result in the cessation of iPod sales, the reality is this is a required procedural move in the ongoing litigation. "Essentially the institution of the ITC investigation is just a procedural matter that happens as a matter of course if you dot your i's and cross your t's on the complaint," said Stefani Shanberg, a partner in the San Francisco office of the law firm Perkins Coie. She specializes in intellectual property cases. "A lot of times, companies will use the institution of an investigation as a press event because it sounds impressive," she added. She believes it is likely that the ITC will take up Apple's complaints against Creative as well. And Creative could certainly use something impressive sounding, as their stock price is currently trading at historic lows. One wonders if Creative will survive in the market place long enough to complete a litigation process that will likely take years. Meanwhile, in Vermont of all places, David Contois has taken Apple Computer to court over alleged infringement of his patent on jukebox software, though the case sounds more like a comic skit on a broken patent system. Disagreements ranged from specific -- what does "selecting" really mean? -- to general, including whether Contois' software alone, or the program coupled with devices it controls, was the heart of the debate. Lawyer John Rabena, a member of Contois' legal team, said the software was key because it marked a vast improvement over earlier products from other companies. "Those interfaces were not as intuitive and elegantly simple," he said. An attorney for Apple, Greg Arovas of New York, disagreed: "The plaintiff was very late to the digital-music game." Of course, Creative would undoubtedly say the same for Apple Computer and the iPod. Forget units sold and market share as metrics of success, the new standard is litigation, and by this measurement Apple's iPod and its music related initiatives are winners.

Why Self Harm is Not a Solution | Impact! In my daily work as a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I see a lot of teens who are struggling. More and more teens are finding life's stressors very difficult to cope with. It's tough enough being a teen these days. Many teenagers are become stressed trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in. To top this off with the academic pressures of school and conflict with friends or parents, it can seem like it's too much to bear. With time, some teens find that self-harm behaviour helps them cope. Self-harm most often includes cutting. When dealing with emotional pain, cutting leads to severe physical pain that somewhat dulls the emotional pain. Even though it seems like cutting is working, it really makes everything worse. Even though it may seem like a "quick fix," self-harm can have serious cosmetic and medical consequences. Rather than help us cope with stress, self-harm actually makes it harder to cope over time. If you think of life as a marathon, the only way to get through it is by exercising. Cutting is like sitting in a wheelchair. Instead of building the strength you need to power through, self-harm becomes a crutch that keeps you from learning healthy coping skills that are needed in the future. If you are ever struggling and need help...all you have to do is ask. There are alternatives! For example, there is a specific kind of therapy called Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) that helps teach alternatives to self-harm. DBT is a treatment program available at both the Children's Hospital and St. Joseph's Healthcare. An example of what you can learn through DBT is the TIP acronym. TIP stands for temperature, intense exercise and progressive relaxation. Temperature includes using hot (warm baths, hot showers) or cold (ice) to help reset your brain when you become stressed. Intense exercise suggests going for a walk, run or working up a sweat. Lastly, progressive relaxation is a specific trick where you learn to scrunch each part of your body and then releasing, starting with your toes all the way up to your head. If these skills don't work, DBT offers many others. There are lots of places in town that help teens learn healthy coping skills. You can call the Crisis and Intake Team (C-IT) at 000-000-0000. They are able to you help you 00 hours a day. You can talk to a counselor who can advise which services are available in town and how to access them. Another great support is a website called mindyourmind.ca, where there are multiple resources available. One includes an amazing mobile app called besafe that helps users build a safety plan for when you're close to feeling overwhelmed. If suicide is another thought that you are struggling with, the most important thing you can do is tell someone you trust. Even when things are really bad and you feel like you are drowning in stress, there is hope. Life does get better! Dr. Javeed Sukhera is a child and adolescent psychiatrist at London Health Sciences Centre Children's Hospital who works with children, teens and young adults struggling with mental illness.

Last month we were privileged to welcome Award speakers from across the globe to London. They came to tell their stories to a group of valued donors who support our Special Projects fund. At an event hosted by TRH The Earl and Countess of Wessex, four young people explained to guests how the Special Projects fund had made a difference to their lives and their communities. All four Award speakers have been positively impacted by the fund which aims to extend the reach of the Award to marginalised young people. For Davina Jütten, an Award Leader from Australia, the key benefit of the Award is the fact that the experience and journey is unique to each participant and that through taking ownership of their Award young people ultimately take ownership of their future and how to be the best they can be. Guests were so moved by what they heard that they committed ongoing support for the Special Projects initiative, which has so far raised over £000,000 this year.

Are You Prepared for the Unexpected When it Comes to Retirement? Are You Prepared for the Unexpected When it Comes to Retirement Planning? The simple fact that Canadians are living longer and longer means that we are more likely to come face-to-face with unexpected events that can have financial consequences. A Canadian in their 00s has a very good chance of making well into their 00s. This increased longevity means that Canadians need to plan to have their retirement income last for at least 00 to 00 years. Unfortunately, a lot can happen within those 00 years of retirement that can affect a serious effect on your savings. Read on to learn more about how to best prepare for the unexpected when planning your retirement. Canadians can expect to experience at least one major life event that will upset their financial life in their senior years. The most expensive events typically involve the cost of health care. Depending on your situation, you may face higher than expected health care expenses because you are no longer covered under your employer's group health insurance. This may lead to you facing costly expenses such as dental, vision, and prescription expenses that are not covered by government plans. The largest potential health expenses you will need to plan for is long-term care. The government only foots a minor percentage of that bill, so most of it will need to be paid out of pocket. A stay of even a couple of years can put a major dent into your savings, which is why it's a smart idea to allow for these potential expenses by planning accordingly. You should purchase long-term health care if you won't be covered by your employer anymore. It's easy to convince yourself that your cost of living will decrease during retirement. Expenses like transportation will go down because you are no longer commuting, but you will see an increase in many other ways. Your time spent travelling and participating in recreational activities needs to be factored in as well. You can't forget about inflation either. Even low-level inflation will devalue your savings somewhat. The key is to be a bit aggressive and aim for investments that will outpace inflation, instead of being completely safe and having inflation cut into your retirement savings. Retirement savings is all about planning for the expected and accounting for the unexpected. If you want to be sure that you have everything covered, you should talk to a retirement planning advisor at The Beacon Group of Assante Financial Management Ltd. to get started.

What does it mean to be effective or efficient? In The 0 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen R. Covey defines it as, "getting superb results today (production) in a way that allows us to get those results over and over again (production capability)." Covey calls it the P/PC balancing act. If we focus only on production we run the risk of weakening our ability to produce. Aesop illustrates this balance well in his fable, The Goose and The Golden Egg. Aesop tells of a countryman who had a remarkable goose. Each day, this goose laid a beautiful golden egg. The man took the eggs to market and began to grow rich. He also grew impatient. One day the countryman decided he didn't need to wait for the goose to give him a single golden egg each day. Instead, he would kill the goose and remove all the eggs at once. But when he did, the man found no eggs inside the goose, and his precious goose was dead. Sometimes each of us acts like that countryman. We get so focused on our lives and our productivity that we forget to do vital maintenance. We've likely all heard stories of people who were so busy driving from event to event day after day that they lost track of the miles they had driven - failed to change the oil in their car - and burned out an engine far too soon. Have you ever felt burned out? So how do we balance our productivity with our ability to produce? How do we remain productive without burning out? How do we get the most out of our employees without making them feel worn down? How do we maintain positive, symbiotic relationships where we give and take without feeling taken advantage of, or taking advantage of others? Effective living requires effective planning. As we plan to tackle and enjoy the upcoming projects and events in our lives (our eggs), we can determine what we should do to preserve and enhance our ability to produce quality results (our goose). This balancing act applies to every aspect of life. Your Franklin Planner is perfectly equipped to help you manage the different roles you play each day. As you write your goals, ideas, and plans on paper, you can create a big-picture view. You can draw on past experiences and project your goals far into the future - all while focusing on the minutiae of today. That big picture view makes it easier to direct your small daily activities toward your end goals. With the proper focus, your daily actions will feel far less mundane, because you'll see them as your mode of travel from where you are now to where you hope to be. Along the way, you'll find ways to improve your talents, rest your body, and strengthen others - so your ability to produce remains high. This explains why flight attendants tell parents, in the event of an emergency, to put their oxygen masks on before they place oxygen on their children. As parents, we need to be strong in order to help our children. We are their goose. If a child protests or fights the oxygen, which is highly probable, the parent could run out of air trying to explain and encourage. Have you ever considered that proper planning could be as vital for our success as oxygen is for life? The most powerful planning is about far more than tasks and appointments. It's about you - who you are and who you hope to become. It's about living true to the things you value most, whether that's growing your skills, sharpening your talents, supporting your family, or increasing your wealth. So the true secret is to know and understand what matters most to you - to determine the values that govern your actions. Your governing values add meaning and motivation to the things you do. They make you want to maximize the efficiency of your eggs while strengthening your goose. If you are struggling to create your list of governing values, consider what and for whom you would be willing to risk everything, and why you would. The answers to that question are rooted in your values. That's a great start. You play a lot of roles each day - child, sibling, spouse, parent, employee, employer, neighbor, friend, artist, athlete - your list is long. You have goals and expectations related to each of the roles that matter to you. When you use your planner for self-development in each of the roles you play, you'll find that you need to weigh your actions against your governing values. There is simply not enough time in the day to do everything. But as you focus your efforts on those things that matter most - as you prioritize your daily tasks, you'll begin to achieve this P/PC balance. You'll make time to strengthen your skills, improve your knowledge, and lift and serve those who matter to you. You'll be able to recognize the geese in your life, and acknowledge the times when you are a goose for others. Supporting those who support you and those who need your support will become paramount. And in doing so, you'll find yourself progressing toward your goals, rather than simply focusing on everyday tasks and appointments. You'll find life, meaning, and satisfaction in all you choose to do. I don't know if this is the correct spot, but I have always wished for fishing themed planner pages, as I am an avid fly fisherman. This sport has grown greatly, especially since the release0 of the movie "A River Runs Through It." I would buy it in the classic if you had it. I have used your system for more than 00 years and have always hoped for it.

Last week's sad departure of high street brand British Home Stores (BHS) got us thinking here at Coconut HQ. With the familiar household name following the likes of HMV, Blockbusters, Clinton Cards, Woolworths and many others to the retail graveyard, there's a continuing pattern for the more traditional high street brands - a distinct lack digital PR and marketing presence. While researching ‘recent campaigns from BHS', just purely out of curiosity, it was fair to conclude that the British Horse Society has a stronger online presence than the former department store mogul. That speaks volumes. The BHS blog is more of a pinboard of promotional messaging than insightful industry related opinion. Their Twitter profile more an outlet for reactive customer service than strategic hashtag campaigns or interesting content. Possibly most notable is that the BHS Facebook page (arguably the most powerful social platform in reaching their target demographic) has 000,000 likes. Admittedly an impressive number, but when you compare this to the 0 million plus likes of major competitor M&S, it begs the question - where did BHS go wrong? The major point that many brands such as BHS seem to ignore, is that the most valuable effect of a good social media strategy should be brand awareness - not just sales or lead gen. In the case of BHS, it was arguably the brand itself, that needed an overhaul. Having looked at some of BHS's key online outlets, it seems their digital strategy helped to consolidate the reputation of the brand as a little ‘behind the times'. Key to digital PR success is understanding who your audience is and where they're hanging out online. Once you've sussed that, you need to appreciate that today's audiences quickly become bored. Preparing engaging, entertaining, topical and insightful content is key to maintaining an effective social media strategy. One way to achieve this is to integrate a well planned blog within the company website, using this as the cornerstone for social media content. Designed to drive traffic to the website, writing engaging blog content, keeping posts punchy, concise and tailored to your target audience, should be key to any brand's digital PR strategy. Tapping into trending hashtags on twitter or piggybacking calendar events and occasions can be an effective way to give a ‘hook' to more promotional content. Just be sure that any tweet is relevant and worthy of posting before jumping on the hashtag bandwagon. And most importantly, make sure you understand the history of a hashtag before using it. A picture paints a thousand words and a video is even better. Entertaining gifs and short video clips are a great way to cut through the ‘noise' of social media. Having professional and short videos produced for social media can be a great way to overcome the ever-decreasing attention span of the modern audience. If you're handy with a selfie stick that's a good place to start depending on how 'corporate' you want the finished article to look. If you'd like to have a chat about digital PR strategy for your business or for a digital communications consultation, let's talk. Newer PostTerm time holidays: is the travel industry to blame?

People tend to think of ignorance in terms of something absent, as a gap or a hole in conceptual space. That's a pretty ignorant view of ignorance. Ignorance, by its nature, is represented in peoples brains by neural patterns, is exchanged in communication, and is clearly evident when mob-think pervades Facebook discussions. Urban myths are ignorance encapsulated as the stories of our modern apocrypha. Ignorance, when realized consciously, can be variably hope, fear, or some other longing, but never faith, confidence, or trust. Without knowing what others don't know, ignorance is not just bliss: it pervades everything you say and do rather deeply and very materially. Fighting ignorance with ignorance is not like fighting fire with fire. It is more like burning your neighbor's house down because you see fire on the horizon. That strategy is not very likely to be successful, even if it you are taking action. This is the truest danger of social networking: ignorance is a learned meme. Your thoughts though profound, will reach the audience who needs the message least. The paradox is, the vast majority of those who pushing the envelope of their IQs to even partake of social networking won't get it, those who get it, the choir to whom thou preachest. don;t need it. Often one reflects to see one's own understanding, and perhaps one's own ignorances. If the representation of the reflection happens to be observed by others it may be enlightening or morbidly embarrassing, but in any case it is but a shell; the act of reflecting already having served its intended purpose.
