In the presence of the Italian Army Chief of Staff and of the Land Armaments Director a contract for the first tranche of ten Centauro II Vehicles, named "New Blindo Centauro" by the Italian Army, has been signed by the Iveco - Oto Melara Consortium (CIO) senior management at Guidoni Palace, headquarters of the General Secretariat of Defence and of the National Armaments Directorate, in Rome. The Centauro II marks a major step forward compared to the previous Centauro I, in terms of power, observation capability, mobility, ergonomics, firing range, communication and maximum crew protection. Equipped with a new power pack delivering over 000hp and with H-drive architecture, a hallmark of the 0x0 Centauro range, Centauro II features an entirely digital system and a new generation turret mounting with a 000 mm gun. The result is a new concept of wheeled armored vehicle capable of operating in any scenario: from national security missions, to peace-keeping and support operations including all interventions involving the Italian Armed Forces. The CIO contract, including vehicles, equipment and logistics, is worth 000 million euros, with some 00 million euros relating to Iveco Defence Vehicles. This delivery is the first tranche of a total of 000 units. Bolzano, Italy - In the frame of the contract awarded by the US Marine Corps to BAE Systems' team for the manufacture of the next generation of Amphibious Combat Vehicles (ACV), CNH Industrial subsidiary Iveco Defence Vehicles will provide its 0x0 amphibious armored platform design, core components and services. "This award represents a milestone in the transformation of Iveco Defence Vehicles into a global player", said Vincenzo Giannelli, President and CEO of Iveco Defence Vehicles. "Through our partnership with BAE Systems on this program, our know-how and technical excellence have been recognized and are placed at the service of the US Marine Corps. We now have the privilege of contributing to building the future of its amphibious combat vehicles". The initial award by the US Marine Corps is for 00 vehicles, with options for a total of 000 vehicles. The ACV is an advanced 0x0 open ocean-capable vehicle that is equipped with a new six-cylinder, 000hp engine, which provides a significant power increase over the current Assault Amphibious Vehicle. The vehicle delivers best-in-class mobility in all terrain and has a suspended interior seat structure for 00 embarked Marines, blast-mitigating positions for a crew of three, and improved survivability and force protection over currently fielded systems. The team has conducted extensive risk mitigation testing and evaluation for water operations, land mobility and survivability that have proven the solution's capabilities. Iveco Defence Vehicles and BAE Systems teamed together in the very early phases of this program to offer a superior solution to the US Marines for their ACV requirement. As a result of this successful teaming relationship, the first 00 prototypes were delivered to the Marine Corps in 0000. Over the past 00 months, the companies supported the US Marine Corps' Developmental Testing and Operational Assessment of these vehicles whose performance achieved superlative results for water operations, land operations, carry/payload, and protection. As a leading provider of protected and integrated mobility solutions to military and civil protection customers, Iveco Defence Vehicles brings proven experience, having designed and built more than 00,000 multi-purpose, protected and armored military vehicles in service today. IVECO Defence Vehicles is present at Eurosatory, the largest international exhibition dedicated to defense and civil protection applications, held in Paris from June 00 to 00. IVECO Defence Vehicles showcases the most recent developments in its product range, including multirole vehicles, logistic and tactical trucks, on its 0,000 square meter stand. Among them, two models of Light Multirole Vehicle 0x0, which has been sold to 00 different countries to date, and the new Military Utility Vehicle (MUV), designed to undertake a variety of roles, such as logistic support, in-land operations and humanitarian aid. On display is also the High Mobility 0x0, already in service by the French Army, together with the Eurocargo 0x0 and the Trakker 0x0, both part of a new fleet of military trucks for the German Armed Forces. Iveco Defence Vehicles has handed over the last tranche of 00 Light Armoured Vehicles (LAV) to the Norwegian Defence Material Agency (NDMA). The handover ceremony was held at Iveco DV Headquarters in Bolzano, Italy, attended by Brigadier General Morten Eggen, Head of Norwegian Defence Material Agency, Land Systems Division. This order constitutes the fourth LAV procurement by the Norwegian Armed Forces, which has extensively operated the vehicle in missions abroad. The fourth generation LAV is a further step development to the Light Multirole Vehicle design. It has integrated a variety of improvements requested by the customer. This important supply contract consolidates Iveco Defence Vehicles market leadership in the multirole military sector, providing a response to current and future requirements of the Norwegian Armed forces in terms of performance, mobility and crew protection.

Melaka or Malacca as known in historical books was the main marine entrepot of south east asia throughout the 00th & early 00th century. Trading in the waters were then dominated by the Chinese, Arab, Indians and the Malays. As reputation grew and the founding of spices such as cloves and nutmeg became a priceless commodity in europe, the rise and fall of malacca was sealed.

I love simple one pot meal for lazy weekend. At the same time I would like to provide a balanced meal to my kids who nowadays have lunch only during holidays or weekends at home. I had some left over black beans. Last time when I was in US I tasted the combo of Black beans and Avocado. So I decided to try it out as fried rice. I am pretty sure Garlic and fried onion will add flavour to it. It came out pretty good. I have used Basmati rice. Any long grain rice even brown rice will work perfect. Wash and soak the black bean for 0 - 0 hrs. Cook it with salt. Drain the extra water and keep it aside. Heat olive oil in a pan and when it is hot add sliced onion and fry till crispy. Remove it from oil and keep it aside. In the same oil add chopped garlic. Fry till light brown. Add green chilles, Black beans and coriander leaves. Fry for a min. Add salt and pepper powder, lemon juice. Mix it well. Healthy and delicious rice, would love to try it sometime..

As a Chapter, the leadership in Massachusetts have it pretty well together. They (and I say "they" because I am not on the volunteer leadership team) run a great annual meeting every May and three additional education events a year (for only $00 a day, mind you). The Mass Chapter donates $00,000 a year to the Massage Therapy Foundation, and the members have repeatedly shown their overwhelming support of that donation. Our members show up to massage at the Massachusetts State Legislature, they run programs for underserved populations, (and they win the National Humanitarian awards for those efforts) and we post other education, volunteer and social events on our website, too. The leadership is also forward-thinking. They do not think in terms of, "This is how it's always been done." They say, "How can we change what we do to better serve our members." Because of that progressive thinking, our members have access to a health insurance specialist and an attorney. We gave away two student scholarships and recently started the Dianne Polseno Student Scholarship Award. Why am I bragging about the Mass Chapter on our own blog? Because I'm a big fan of all their work, and especially their recent decision to be a leader in their online communications with members. What does that mean? It means they see the value and importance of a cohesive online presence that includes a website with great resources (including this blog!), effective strategies for emails to members, and a useful, fun social media presence. They also hired me to be their Online Marketing Manager and have been nothing less than excited to learn and use all of our online resources on their own and along with me. It would be easy for the Leadership to simply hire this online stuff out, and for me to take their money and just do exactly (and only) the work of communicating with the members online. But we're not about easy. We're about awesome. The Leadership is embracing social media. They're embracing exciting new marketing strategies. They are embracing having a personality online, spirited conversations with members and now, serving other chapters who may not have the resources that we have. We're all in this together, and if we're bushwhacking a trail, you may as well enjoy the hike, too. What this means to you, other AMTA Chapter leaders and volunteers. Once a month, maybe a little more than that, we're dedicating one blog post to teaching you what we know about creating and using our presence. Maybe I'll tell you what I'm doing with our email strategy, why I'm doing it, and how you can adapt the techniques to fit your chapter. Or perhaps I'll answer a question that comes up when I'm showing the leadership something new. Whatever it is, it'll be useful and fun, I promise. Welcome to Allissa's Corner. Grab a beanbag chair and a cookie and make yourself at home. We're growing together. Allissa Haines is a massage therapist with a full private practice in Plainville, MA. She creates marketing and business resources for massage therapists at Writing A Blue Streak and is an educator for the Massage Learning Network, an online learning center for massage therapists and students. She is also a marketing consultant, professional speaker, and a frequent snacker.

Isanuma Park Cherry Blossoms - Isanuma park in Kawagoe is a popular spot to enjoy Hanami for locals. There are cherry blossoms along the river at the playground as well as cherry blossoms lining the street that separates the lake from the park. Isanuma Park cherry blossoms - We have enjoyed hanami (picnic under the cherry blossom) along the river under the beautiful blooms. What's great about this park is that it is quite small so you can see the playground from many of the hanami spots. The playground is very popular with children as it has quite a lot of climbing and some of the equipment is the type you don't see in many other places.

It's planting season! Time to get new plants into the ground to establish before winter and also the ideal time to move and replant trees and perennials. Get to your local GCA garden centre for more inspiration, ideas and expert advice. Read below and find out how to PLANT SMART. Look out for 0-pack or small pot perennials in your local nursery. Not only will they save you money but they'll also fill large areas faster with year-long colour. Penstemon - these are the stalwarts of autumn. They are drought resistant and great for quick colour. *Salvias - many varieties with aromatic foliage and tubular flowers that attract birds and insects. Salvias grow in a wide range of growing and soil conditions and cope with dry periods. *Angelonias - for a colourful display in flower beds and in pots. They are excellent as cut flowers. Grow angelonias in rich, well drained soils in a warm, sunny or semi-shaded position. Gazanias - flower all year round in protected gardens. Plant in full sun in soil on the sandy side, with good drainage. Good for coastal gardens and their roots bind the soil so are excellent on slopes. A large variety of attractive, flowering succulents are also available at your local nursery. Fill your boot with compost, compost & more compost! Apply to each and every planting bed as nutritious mulch. Prepare soil by digging it over to the depth of a large spade, while working in copious amounts of compost and include bonemeal to promote strong root growth. It is sweet pea sowing time - prepare deep trenches for them by digging in compost from your local GCA garden centre and generous dustings of bonemeal or superphosphate (do not use bonemeal if you have dogs). Soak the seeds overnight in tepid water before sowing directly. There are very few flowers that can match the true blue of Lobelia, that comes in light to dark blue, as well as white and dark pink. These grow anywhere in full sun or semi shade and like loose, gritty soil. When nothing else seems to grow, punnets of seedlings can still be planted out, provided the area does not receive heavy frost. There are also trailing Lobelias, which have a more cascading habit and suitable for hanging baskets, window boxes and for softening edges of raised beds. Roses are simply spectacular in autumn! To ensure quality blooms into the winter, continue with regular preventative treatments/spraying for black spot, beetles and bollworm. As the days get shorter, the roses start to go dormant and withdraw food from their leaves. To compensate for this and to provide enough food for new growth and flowers, fertilise with rose food - your local GCA will advise you on the best option. Regular watering is very important if there is insufficient rainfall. Spice up your food garden with these deliciously different veggie varieties. Heirloom varieties are kept true to type, handed down from generation to generation and produce very healthy plants. Some of the exciting varieties on the market these days include strange-looking and fiery chillies, different coloured cauliflower, carrots and broccoli, striped beetroot, and different varieties of tomatoes and brinjals. Start harvesting and preserving herbs for winter, harvesting small quantities at a time. Chop mint, parsley, basil and lemon balm, place in an ice tray, fill with water and freeze. Aromatic herbs, like oregano, marjoram, thyme, sage, bay and rosemary, are better air dried. Continue to feed herbs monthly with a half strength liquid fertiliser and water regularly. For patio and balcony gardens, visit your local GCA nursery for ready to pick potted up miniature veggies for cooking. Autumn is the ideal time to establish young plants before the cold weather set in. Consider deciduous trees with striking autumn foliage. Quercus Palustris is admired and deservedly popular for the rich autumn tints of its foliage and thrives throughout South Africa. It grows 00 - 00m tall and requires a sunny position in the garden. Take care not to plant it too close to walls, paving etc. Stake during the beginning years - especially if your garden tends to be windy. For indigenous Autumn colour consider Celtis Africana, Liquidambar or Combretum. Neaten evergreen shrubs and hedges without cutting back too harshly. Take care not to prune winter or early-spring flowering plants - as you'll miss out on their annual display. March is a good time to prune overgrown conifers and to experiment with conifer topiary. Remember to spray them preventatively against infestations of Italian Cypress aphids. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis longiflora ‘Adonicus Apricot' - known as the long life hibiscus, longifloras is a selection with longer lasting flowers. This shrub with its apricot-coloured flowers can be planted in a sunny to semi-shaded spot and in colder areas protected by planting in a container in a sheltered area. Buxus microphylla ‘Faulkner' is a glossy evergreen that can be shaped very easily into balls, pyramids or low hedges. They are low maintenance and a very tough plant that grows in sun or shade. This buxus is hardy to cold and frost. Polygala myrtifolia commonly known as the September bush forms a medium-sized shrub or small tree up to 0m tall and perfect for small gardens. The flowers are in shades of purple and mauve at their best in mid-October. A good indigenous plant across winter- and summer-rainfall areas of the country. Fill pots and beds with petunias - they love the drier winter weather. Water the lawn every three to four days and strengthen for winter by top dressing with an organic boosted fertiliser. If you prefer an inorganic lawn fertiliser then use 0:0:0 at 00 grams per m². Fertilise container plants, hanging baskets and seedlings with liquid plant food. Prune all evergreen shrubs, trees and creepers immediately after they finish flowering. This allows buds to quickly set for the following season. Prepare your containers now for a stunning spring display! By the end of March the retail nurseries will be filled with winter bulbs and seedlings, so remember to buy bulbs early, before supplies run out. When planting a new tree ensure the support is suitable and correctly tied. The support should be at least two-thirds of the planting height and the tree secured to it twice. Leave enough space for the growth spurt in spring so that the tie does not cut into the bark and create a weak spot. Remember to follow good water practises - for example, reduce watering as the weather cools. Gardenia augusta hybrids (Cape jasmine) are possibly the best known scented shrubs in local gardens. These neat evergreen shrubs are seldom without buds or blooms from spring through to autumn. Grow in rich, well-drained soil in sun or semi-shade. Plumeria rubra (frangipani) grows well in the tropical and sub-tropical areas of the country. They withstand drought and bloom profusely from late spring through summer and into autumn. There are a wide range of different coloured flowers that are beautifully fragrant. They are easy to grow and require little attention, flourish in almost all soil types, from sand to clay, and they cope with a wide range of pH levels - both acid and alkaline. They grow best in full sun. Capsicum annuum ‘Black Pearl' (ornamental chilli) is a compact, bushy ornamental chilli that will reach a mature height of 00 to 00cm. The young leaves are greenish in colour but turn glossy black as they mature. The small white flowers are followed by very hot fruit that are shiny black at first and then turn bright red. These plants will grow indoors and outdoors in a sunny spot in well-drained, moist soil. Take stock of any evergreen trees that may have grown strongly and will now be shading your garden and trim or thin out. Cut back all summer flowering perennials that are looking tired. Pay attention to salvias, daisies, lavender and fuchsias. It is a good month to do a thorough feeding. Plants and lawns will respond well to fertilising now with some 0.0.0. Not only will they give you another flush of growth, it will help to strengthen them for the winter to come. Fertilise all your container plants, hanging baskets and seedlings with a liquid plant food. Go to autumn plant sales, there are great bargains to buy and most plants will be lush and big after a whole summer season's growth. Get your spring bulbs while the selection is good. Do not plant them yet, the soil needs to cool down. Keep the bulbs in a cool, dry and dark place till April and if it's very hot, May before planting. Sow more flowering plants directly into well prepared soil for masses of colour in the winter garden.

Getting to move into your first apartment is exciting. It's also a big and intimidating change. With so many things to consider, they may leave you with your head spinning. Here is a list of essential things to consider before starting the apartment hunting process. Thinking about them now will help you choose the best apartment rentals and avoid making expensive mistakes later. When renting an apartment, all that renters think about is the rent. Once you pay the rent, you're good. Well, not at all! You'll spend a lot of money before settling in your new apartment. You'll need to pay for security deposits, application fees, and one month rent in advance. Therefore, you may run out of money even before you move in. Make plans to have rent for a couple of months to allow you to cater for these costs. After moving into an apartment, you'll only pay rent, right? Again, No! There are some utility bills to pay. Don't forget to pay for gas, heat, power, and internet. Some landlords will require you to have your renters insurance before moving to their property. While it's not a huge cost, you'll have to consider it. Also, don't forget the other costs in your life. Your earnings might be enough to cover rent, but other things need your financial attention. For instance, you're responsible for gas for your car, groceries and many other expenses. As a rule, your monthly rent shouldn't exceed a third of your total earnings. Furnishing a new apartment is super exciting. You'll be full of ideas on how you want the new area to look like. But before going wild with these decorations, ensure you have basic furniture necessary to live. For instance, eating your takeout food for a day on the floor will seem cool. After this, you'll wish you had a table and dishes. Your house will need some basic furniture like a couch, bed, table and some chairs. Other small things that you need are curtains, utensils, and towels. Having cookware is a must unless you want to be stuck with takeout foods. Finding an apartment requires you to deal with a lot of paperwork. If you're terrified of bureaucracy, then this isn't an ideal task for you. Before you start a serious apartment search, ensure you have all your paperwork in order. For instance, your landlord will ask for your ID, driver's license, and references from anyone who can attest to your behavior and character. Having these documents saves you a lot of time and stress later. Once you get an ideal apartment, agree on the lease terms with your landlord. Go through the document before appending your signature. Carefully read the entire document. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask any questions. If this is your first time, ask your landlord to give you some time to go through the lease. Ask for guidance and assistance from someone you trust.

Preparing for the framework: standard curve generation and plasmid copy number evaluation. Flexible copy number control is the core of our framework, which is based on re-engineered ColE0 origin of replicon. Multi-plasmid framework would not be much without multiple plasmids. We have equiped our synthetic origin of replication with specific recognition sequences to create unique plasmid groups. Having multiple plasmids in a cell means using multiple antibiotics. Or does it? If at least one of the plasmid group has a low copy number, they require extra care to not be lost at cell division. Therefore, SynORI framework incorporates a special partitioning system derived from pSC000 replicon. The foundation of multi-plasmid framework is the ability to determine plasmid copy number (PCN) per cell. Our approach to count the PCN in the cell is built upon absolute quantitative PCR. By using two different standard curves we are able to evaluate bacteria and plasmid copy number in the reaction. The PCN per cell is found by dividing the total PCN by the cell number. As described by Plotka M. et al, the separate detection of the plasmid and the host cell chromosomal DNA was achieved using two separate primer sets, specific for the plasmid Ori sequence and for the chromosomal d-0-deoxyxylulose 0-phosphate synthase gene (dxs), respectively. Ratio of these genes copy number gives PCN per cell. Why we chose a specific set of primers for PCN determination? Commonly, gene used for PCN evaluations in qPCR is an ampicillin resistance gene (bla). In our case, the bla gene for plasmid number determination was not used, as the SynORI multi-plasmid framework employs a number of plasmids with different selection system gene circuit parts. Instead, the origin of replication was barcoded with distinct sets of primers (named qPCR) for different groups of origin copy number determination. This enables to determine the desired plasmid group copy number, when working with multi-plasmid systems. Since working with extracted genomic, plasmid or total DNA incorporates an error which depends on the extraction efficiency, we decided to work with specially prepared cell lysate suspensions, skipping the extraction step. Furthermore, dxs gene from chromosome was ligated into pUC00 plasmid for less complicated standard preparation. First of all, it was concluded that primers, designed for calculations, are appropriate for absolute quantitative PCR by measuring the efficiency of PCR amplification reaction. Both genes have almost ideal amplification efficiency and required no further optimization. Figure 0. PCR amplification efficiency of genes used for plasmid copy number evaluations. Amplified qPCR product were verified using agarose gel electrophoresis. Figure 0. Verification of products amplified during qPCR. Figure 0. Melting curves of amplified qPCR products used for PCN determination. Next, standard curves were generated for dxs and qPCR plasmid gene copy number determination according to the protocol written by our team (click here?). Figure 0. Standard curves generates for plasmid copy number determination for SynORI project. The fit of the linear regression model was satisfactory; the coefficient of determination (R0) was more than 0.000 for all standard curves. As amplification efficiencies and generated standard curves were ideal for both genes, the curves and earlier mentioned protocol were used for all further PCN determination experiments.

Scientia Pharmaceutica. 0000;00(0):00-000. doi:00.0000/scipharm.ISP.0000.00. Flexible copy number control is the core of our framework, which is based on re-engineered ColE0 origin of replication. ColE0 plasmid replicon is based on two antisense RNA molecules: RNA I and RNA II. The transcript of RNA II forms a RNA-DNA duplex and acts as a primer for DNA polymerase and for that reason is often called a replication initiator. During the transcription of RNA II, several different secondary structures can form. Part of these structures are susceptible to the binding of RNA I - a shorter antisense version of RNA II. The interaction between RNA I and RNA II begins upon the formation of kissing-loop pairs between their anti-complementary secondary structures. If the kissing complex persists, a 0' end of RNA I starts forming a zipper-like duplex with a complementary region of a single strand RNA II. Because the primer cannot be formed anymore, this results in replication inhibition, which is why RNA I is often called the replication inhibitor. The favor of kissing-loop complex formation kinetics to predict plasmid group compatibility. It immediately becomes clear that in order to control the copy number of a plasmid, one could simply change the RNA I promoter. However, there is a reason why it has never been done before! As mentioned above, RNA I and RNA II are two antisense molecules, so it is impossible to change one without altering the sequence of another molecule. RNA I promoter is located right on top of the RNA II secondary structures, which are not used for inhibition, but are crucial to form the RNA-DNA duplex for replication initiation. Even if one managed to somehow substitute the RNA I promoter with another without disabling replication, it would still be inconvenient because this method would require a large pool of resources every time. For that reason we have decided not to modify or replace the RNA I promoter inside the initial wild type origin of replication, but rather to disable it completely and place a copy of it next to RNA II. As already indicated, the main problem of inactivating the RNA I promoter is the necessity to take precautions in order keep the critically important secondary structures of RNA II intact. We have first acquired a priority mutation list from the literature. The list analysed RNA polymerase binding affinity to -00 and -00 promoter region and its dependence on point mutations, with mutations causing the largest decrease in affinity being displayed on the top of the list. Table 0. Priority mutation list of -00 and -00 promoter regions. Mutants that had unchanged RNA II secondary structures. Mutants that were on the top of mutation priority list (meaning the lowest RNA polymerase affinity). We had ordered the selected ColE0 mutants from the IDT and later tested if we had successfully disabled the RNA I promoter. It is difficult to distinguish when the promoter is fully disabled because first, there is no literature data describing replicons that are not negatively regulated at least to some extent, and second - plasmid systems hardly reach the equilibrium without negative control therefore every copy number calculation varies greatly. This is why we decided not to check for the highest copy number mutant, but rather to insert a wild type RNA I with its wild type promoter. By doing that we could see which replicons were most precisely mutated. If the plasmid copy number (PCN) did not differ from wild type after the insertion of an RNA I gene next to the mutated replicon, it proved a complete disabling of the replicon. Contrary, if the copy number decreased, we could suspect that the replicon did not have a completely disabled RNA I and the sum of inhibition from both RNA I genes reduced the copy number to even lower values than in the wild type replicon. First, we planned to calculate the copy number of our mutants that supposedly had their RNA I gene promoter disabled (mutants ORI 0, ORI 0, ORI 0, ORI 0, ORI 0). After that, we aimed to calculate the copy number of the corresponding mutated replicons, but with RNA I gene containing its wild type promoter cloned next to them. After transformation, cells with ORI 0 plasmids did not grow successfully, which suggested a conclusion that this mutant had either severely damaged RNA II gene or increased expression of RNA I to the level of complete replication inhibition. Since 0 other mutants had grown after the transformation, we incubated the cells overnight, purified the plasmids and cloned wild type RNA I with its wild type promoter next to each of the mutants. We then calculated the copy number of 0 samples: 0 ORI mutants and 0 ORI mutants with RNA I placed next to them. Figure 0. Copy number calculations of the RNA I promoter elimination mutants. Two biological replicates were performed, with 0 technical qPCR replicates each time. Firstly, ORI 0 mutant had a moderate increase in copy number (Figure 0). Yet, with RNA I next to the replicon, the copy number did not seem fall back to wild type levels. We hypothesize that the reason for this was the damage done to the RNA II gene. The damage resulted in mutant formed secondary structures no longer sufficiently interacting with inhibitory RNA I molecules. ORI 0 did not seem to increase much in copy number. We did not consider it to be a good candidate as well, because we wanted our core synthetic ori to possess a range of copy numbers to choose from. The third candidate, ORI 0, seemed to be a decent candidate because with cloned RNA I its copy number fell to near wild type levels, but it also did not prove to be good enough, because its maximum number of copies was too low. ORI 0 mutant seemed like a perfect candidate. Its copy number increased from wild type X levels to Y +- Z. In addition, when RNA I gene was placed next to it, the copy number of the constructed plasmid fell to wild type levels. After these results we have decided to use this ORI 0 mutant as a core for our framework. We simply called it RNA II (Part:BBa_K0000000 ). Once the RNA I promoter was disabled in the ColE0 origin of replication, it could be moved to a different plasmid location and used as a separate unit. Also, RNA I promoter can be changed without having to worry about damaging the initiation of replication. RNA I and consequently the copy number of a certain plasmid can now be placed under virtually any signal pattern required. We have discovered the sequence of wild type RNA I promoter by using PromoterHunter. and ordered a wild type RNA I gene from IDT without the promoter's sequence. We have first cloned series of anderson promoters next to the RNA I gene and then placed this construct next to RNA II (RNA II-Anderson-RNA I). Figure 0. RNA I and RNA II constructs, with RNA I constructs under different-strength Anderson (See anderson collection here http://parts.igem.org/Promoters/Catalog/Anderson ) promoters. In theory (see "Modelling" for more details), lower-strength Anderson promoters should yield lower concentrations of RNA I, hence higher copy numbers of plasmids per cell. Our constitutive copy number device experiment results prove it to be true in practice as well. The stronger Anderson promoter is used, the less copy number per cell we get. With the strongest Anderson we get only 00+-0.00 plasmids per cell. We can state with certainty that we are now able to control the plasmid copy number in a constitutive manner, and we call it simply the SynORI constitutive copy number device. Next, we wanted to move one step forward and try to build an inducible copy number system. We first had to make sure that at least part of our construct is well characterized and to so we chose the rhamnose promoter from the biobrick registry (Part:BBa_K000000). For this experiment we have built a rhamnose and RNA I construct (Part:BBa_K0000000) and then cloned this construct next to RNA II (Part:BBa_K0000000). We have used different percent of rhamnose in our media in order to see if this approach was possible and if so, to figure out the dependency between the plasmid copy number and rhamnose concentration. Figure 0. RNA I and RNA II constructs, with RNA I gene being under the rhamnose promoter. The first thing we noticed was that rhamnose promoter was very strong in terms of plasmid copy number reduction. It was also considerably leaky (promoter can be enabled even without any inducer). At zero induction there were approximately only 0 plasmids per cell and at 0 percent induction the number rose to approximately 0 plasmid per cell. RNA I rhamnose-induced promoter seemed to be working well, with higher concentrations of inductor giving lower plasmid copy number. We called it the SynORI copy number induction device. So now when we can flexibly control the copy number of a plasmid, the only question is - what will come next? Tomizawa J.

Multi-plasmid framework would not be much without multiple plasmids. We have equipped our synthetic origin of replication with specific sequences to create unique plasmid groups. PAs RNA I and RNA II interact mainly with the three stem loops that form kissing complexes, we have decided to use this feature to our advantage in order to engineer different plasmid groups by adding unique, group-specific sequences to RNA I and RNA II stem loops. The specific sequences were acquired from Grabow et al., where they have screened a large number of different RNA kissing stem loop complex combinations. They have derived a table of different loop sequences that only bind with each other but do not have any cross interaction to the following loop sequences in the list. The inactivation and transfer of RNA I gene away from RNA II allows us to use different sequences for RNA I and RNA II molecules that are not necessarily ideal complements of each other. Use two different unique sequences in the first two RNR I and RNR II stem loops, in order to maximize same group specificity. Keep RNA II unchanged for the third loop but change it in the RNR I by adding either G/C mutations to RNA I (GC type RNA I) or making RNA I completely non-complement to RNA II (NC type RNA I). According to literature (Tomizawa, 0000) RNA II secondary structures are very sensitive to any mutations in the third loop and has a high chance of ruining the replication initiation. To avoid this we did not want to alter the third loop of RNA II sequence. Just because we chose not to interfere with the third loop of RNA II, we could not leave the third loop of RNA I unchanged. If every group had a fully compatible third loop, the background cross-group inhibition would be too large and we would not be able to obtain independent plasmid groups. We have designed 0 different RNA II genes corresponding to groups A, B, C, D and E and needed to make sure if they were working (Figure 0). Figure 0. Table displaying RNA II of plasmid groups according to their loop sequences. Group A contains 0 kissing-loop from Figure 0 in both first and second loops, group B - h and a, group C - c and d, group D - l and e, group E - f and g, first and second loop respectively. All plasmid groups third loop corresponds to one found in the wild type. Also, we have 00 different RNA I alternatives: A, B, C, D, E with each having a version of either G/C or NC mutations (Figure 0). Figure 0. Different plasmid groups can be co-maintained in a cell with a specific, pre-selected copy number. Copy number control principle is the same for every plasmid group, but both RNA I and RNA II molecules are only specific to their own. These different plasmid groups can then be co-maintained in cell with a specific, pre-selected copy number. Copy number control principle is the same for every group, but each group is only specific to its own group. The first step in experimentally choosing the suitable RNA I-RNA II pairs was done by employing a system that was able to measure the trans-acting effect of each RNA I type of group A has on the RNA II group A (BBa_K0000000) (RNA I types: WT (BBa_K0000000), NC (BBa_K0000000) and GC (BBa_K0000000)). By co-transforming base vector 0.0 (BBa_K0000000) having an A group RNA II together with pSB0A0 plasmid, which is constantly expressing one the mentioned RNA I. The plasmid copy number per cell was determined for each co-transformation using the absolute quantification qPCR. As seen from the results, the GC type RNA I has the lowest tendency to cross interact with the RNA 0 initiator of replication from group A, as the copy number of the base vector 0.0 drops by the smallest amount. RNA I of NC type has the biggest cross-interaction level as it inhibits the plasmid replication the most. Group analysis of RNA I - RNA II type GC. After the degree of interactions have been established amid A groups of all types RNA II-RNA I, GC stem loop structures have been chosen for further group interaction assessment. First of all, we turned to determining the copy number each group of RNA II (A - BBa_K0000000, B - BBa_K0000000, C - BBa_K0000000, D - BBa_K0000000 and E - BBa_K0000000) establishes in the cell with and without its corresponding RNA I constantly expressed by the Anderson promoter in the same vector. Figure 0. Plasmid copy number each group of RNA II establishes in the cell with and without its corresponding, constantly expressed, RNA I. Seeing that group E and C measurements were off, we concluded that RNA II did not fold into correct secondary structure and, as a result of that, it did not work as a primer formation unit. We chose to work with the remaining three groups as the plasmid systems produces stable plasmid copy results. B group RNA II seems to have enhanced primer formation abilities, as the plasmid copy number skyrockets. Every RNA II construct is sensitive to its RNA I, as the plasmid replication is inhibited by constantly expressed RNA I transcript. Type GC stem loop cross-interactions were assessed by constantly expressing RNA I transcript from pSB0A0. The experiments were rather tricky, as the pSB0A0 plasmid seemed to be easily lost when co-transformed with our base vector 0.0. Nevertheless, we were able to measure the cross interactions between the groups displayed in Figure 0. Figure 0. Cross-interaction assessment of different groups of RNA I-RNA II. As seen from Figure 0, there is no interaction between these groups: A and C; A and B. The inhibition has been identificated between B and D; A and D groups. Based on the following results, 0 types of plasmid groups were chosen for 0 co-transformation plasmid copy number assay: A with B and A with D groups. Group A RNA I-RNA II has been co-transformed with group B RNA I-RNA II and vectors with and without global copy number control devices (BBa_K0000000, BBa_K0000000, BBa_K0000000). Figure 0. Plasmid copy determination of two different plasmids in the same cell. Based on the results from Figure 0, it can be concluded that RNA II A and RNA II B act as different replicon and does not inhibit the replication of each other. By introducing the global copy number device, plasmid copy number decreased equally of both plasmids. Grabow WW, Zakrevsky P, Afonin KA, Chworos A, Shapiro BA, Jaeger L.

Now that we have figured out and engineered a method to regulate plasmid copy number in a group-specific fashion the only control element that is missing is a way to control every group at the same time. Figure 0. 0D ROP protein structure (Kokkinidis et al., 0000). Recall, we have used ColE0 replicon as base of our system. And it has given us a perfect hint on how to achieve our current objective. Wild type ColE0 replicon codes a small homodimeric, four-helix bundle protein called Rop (also known as "Repressor of primer" or Rom). Literature shows that Rop recognises specific secondary RNA structures, rather than unique sequences. What that means is that Rop binds to RNA I-RNA II kissing loop complex. When Rop binds to secondary structures, it increases the binding affinity of RNA I and RNA II and consequently-replication inhibition. As our framework approach is based on specific RNA sequence binding, having a Rop protein in our system is equivalent of having a global copy normal regulator. In theory, the protein should bind to every complex despite the specific interactions of each group, because the binding geometry should stay similar in each case. We have designed Rop protein with an Anderson promoter and showed that it can reduce the copy number of single plasmid, and multiple plasmids non-specifically. We have first decided to verify the expression of Rop protein to make sure that our designed Rop gene gives appropriate mRNA which is translated in the cell correctly. Rop gene was then placed under inducible T0 promoter. After two hours of growth, E. coli DH0a cells containing plasmid with Rop gene were induced using 0 mM IPTG. Soluble proteins from the cell lysates were separated by centrifugation and then used for SDS-PAGE. Size of Rop protein is 0,0 kDa, so it can be seen below 00 kDa size standard mark. Figure 0 shows, that Rop protein was induced successfully and its quantity increases by prolonging cell growth. It is found in soluble protein fraction which strongly suggests that Rop protein possibly forms an active spatial structure in vivo and might have influence to RNA I-RNA II duplex formation. Figure 0. SDS-PAGE of Rop protein induction. M - Thermo Scientific PageRuler Unstained Low Range Protein Ladder; 0 - E. coli soluble proteins fraction without induction after 0 h of growth; 0-0 - cells induced using 0 mM IPTG - hours above tracks indicate different time of growing after induction. We then wanted to see if we can add a constitutive Anderson promoter to Rop gene in order to change the copy numbers of a plasmid group. We have cloned 0 different anderson promoters next to Rop gene and then moved it next to RNA I. We then moved these 0 intermediate parts (BBa_K0000000, BBa_K0000000, BBa_K0000000) into the minimal SynORI vector (BBa_K0000000) next to RNA II (BBa_K0000000, BBa_K0000000, BBa_K0000000). We have then calculated the copy number. As seen in in the figure above, our Rop protein constructs successfully lower the plasmid copy number. Each anderson promoter increases Rop concentration and consequently, lowers plasmid copy number. We have also investigated Rop protein with inducible Rhamnose promoter in order to have a viable option of inducible copy number control. We have cloned Rop gene next to rhamnose promoter and RNA I (BBa_K0000000) and then placed this construct next to RNA II (BBa_K0000000) in SynORI minimal vector (BBa_K0000000). These results show that rhamnose promoter is too strong for Rop protein expression, because even the leakage of promoter at 0 percent induction leads to copy decrease to average 0 copy per cell. That means that cells can barely survive and if they do, the inhibition level is so high they cannot maintain more than one plasmid. Despite the high expression level this device can still prove to be useful in the future, for example if characterized with an active partitioning system this construct could become a useful tool for extremely low copy plasmid group generator. We have now demonstrated how Rop protein can act as constitutive (SynORI constitutive global copy number device) and inducible (SynORI inducible global copy number device) copy number regulator. See proof of concept for how we used it as a global group-unspecific multiple plasmid regulator! One of the essential parts of synthetic biology are plasmids. However, bacterial plasmid systems require a unique selection, usually an antibiotic resistance gene, to stably maintain the plasmids. As the number of different plasmid groups used in a single cell rise, the need for more selection markers grows. In addition to raising the issue of biosafety, the use of multiple antibiotic resistance genes destabilizes the functionality of the cells. To address this problem a protein granting the resistance to aminoglycoside family antibiotics, called amino 0'-glycosyl phosphotransferase (APH(0')), was split into two subunits by Calvin M. Schmidt et al. According to the obscure guidelines we split an unmodified neo gene sequence between 00 and 00 amino acid residues. Two subunits were termed a-neo and ß-neo. Furthermore, we added additional termination codon at the end of an a-neo fragment for the translation to stop. No other start codons were included into the ß-neo subunit as the gene was designed for toehold switch system. Despite the fact that ß-neo subunit had no start codon, the split antibiotic system worked perfectly when coupled with a standard promoter and a ribosome binding site (BBa_K000000). Consequently, a split antibiotic resistance gene provides a selection system to stably maintain two different plasmids. Figure 0. Split neo gene principle scheme by M. Schmidt et al. In order to increase the capability of our selection system, we reasoned that a split antibiotic system should be put under a transcriptional or translational control. A. A. Green et al. presented wide range of de novo synthesized dynamic riboregulators, called toehold switches, which take advantage of RNA-mediated linear interaction to initiate RNA strand displacement. A toehold switch contains two parts: a ribosome binding site and a linker sequence, both of which are sequestered by a secondary RNA stem loop structure. The linker sequence has a start codon and functions as a link. Figure 0. Principal toehold switch scheme by A. A. Green et al. Although the linker sequence adds additional 00 amino acid residues to the peptide, we reasoned that it will not affect the function of split antibiotic. Toehold switches are unlocked when an RNA trigger binds to the 0' end of the toehold and initiates RNA duplex formation, which releases the locked RBS and reveals linker start codon. We concluded, that if the toehold sequences were added in front of a- and ß-neo gene fragments, the translation would require trigger RNA to initiate protein synthesis. Toeholds and their corresponding triggers design sequences were used as described by A. A. Green et al. with some modifications. First of all, it is important to note, that a "scar" which is made between biobrick prefix for protein coding sequences and suffix, contains a termination codon at the 0' end. Therefore, it was necessary to use the other form of prefix for a- and ß-neo genes, as the translation proceeds from one biobrick to another. Furthermore, seeing that the "scar" produced when joining two biobricks is 0 base pairs, we included an additional T nucleotide at the end of linker sequence to ensure the translation stays in frame to the a- and ß-neo genes. Figure 0. The schematic representation of SynORI 0 plasmid selection gene circuit. We constructed a system, which includes two toehold riboregulators (termed toehold 0 and toehold 0) upstream of a- and ß-neo genes in two different plasmids. The corresponding activating RNA triggers (name trigger 0 and trigger 0) were placed into additional two plasmids under constant expression. All the parts used together complete a 0-plasmid selection system - two distinct trigger RNAs are expressed by two different plasmids in order to unlock the translation of toehold controlled a- and ß-neo peptides to form a complete amino 0'-glycosyl phosphotransferase. For this reason, if one plasmid is lost, the end product - a/ß dimer APH(0') is not formed, therefore bacteria lose their antibiotic resistance. The SynOri selection system circuit could be expanded by including additional transcription factor which induced the transcription of previously described RNA triggers. The fifth plasmid would house a transcription factor for the initiation of whole system. Phage modified promoter is perfect for this task, as it is activated by cI lambda peptide and repressed by cI 000 peptide with minimal leakage. Both of the RNA triggers - 0 and 0 - were placed under control of phage modified promoter. Furthermore, downstream of the trigger gene we included cI 000 repressor under constant expression to ensure minimal leakage of the promoter. The fifth plasmid was built to constantly express cI lambda - the activator of phage promoter. In the absence of this plasmid, the gene circuit cannot function, as the trigger RNA transcription is repressed by constant cI 000 expression and toehold switches lock the translation of a/ß APH(0'). When the final component of the circuit is present, the cI lambda activator enhances the transcription of both RNA triggers. The transcribed triggers then unlock the translation of a/ß neo peptides which form an active protein and confer the resistance to aminoglycoside family antibiotics. Figure 0. The schematic representation of SynORI 0 plasmid selection gene circuit. The minimal SynORI selection system, designed for maintaining two plasmids in a cell, was validated by coupling two parts of the split antibiotic coding sequences - a-neo BBa_K0000000 and ß-neo BBa_K0000000 - to constant expression promoter in two pSB0C0 plasmids. Figure 0. Results of two plasmid co-transformation containing constantly expressed a and ß split kanamycin antibiotic resistance gene. The control groups only had one or no antibiotic resistance gene subunits expressed. In addition to split antibiotic system, we were able to co-transform 0 plasmids using only kanamycin as the selection marker by implementing a riboregulatory system upstream of the previously described divided neo gene. We employed toehold switches, an orthogonal translational regulation devices, to lock the protein synthesis of the corresponding split subunits (parts: BBa_K0000000 and BBa_K0000000). Furthermore, constantly expressed RNA trigger sequences (parts: BBa_K0000000 and BBa_K0000000) were added into additional two plasmids to complete the 0 plasmid genetic circuit. Our team has developed and optimized an electroporation protocol to carry out our transformation needs. It is important to note that, in contrast to our SynORI framework, all four plasmids were the same (pSB0C0) - it had identical replicons. As a result, the selection system became unstable after long period of growth due to replicon cross-interaction. Nevertheless, as you can see from Table 0., carrying out similar experiments with 0 different antibiotics produced zero bacterial growth! Table 0. Experimental data of 0 plasmid electroporation results. The hallmark of SynORI selection framework is genetic circuit which enables 0 plasmids to be maintained in a single cell using only one selection marker. That goal has been reached by employing modified phage promoter (BBa_I00000) to construct signal activated trigger RNA transcription devices (BBa_K0000000 and BBa_K0000000) that are controlled from the fifth plasmid. Figure 0. Result of SynORI 0 plasmid selection system electroporation. The 0th field includes all the framework parts. 0 - No trigger 0 (control). 0 - No trigger 0 (control). 0 - No lambda activator plasmid (control). 0 - Full System: lambda activator plasmid; toehold 0 a-neo; toehold 0 ß-neo; trigger 0; trigger 0. The co-transformants were grown for 00 hours for the first colonies to appear, as all the plasmids had identical replicons (pSB0C0). Cell were sensitive and could not be inoculated into liquid LB medium containing standard kanamycin concentrations. Further optimizations with lower antibiotic quantities and different replicons are needed. Nevertheless, SynORI selection framework enabled bacteria to sustain 0 different plasmids with identical origins of replication in the presence of one selection marker, contrary to using a batch of different antibiotics as described earlier. SynORI framework provides an opportunity to have low copy plasmid groups, yet in order for them not to be lost during the cell division, there must be a mechanism that actively keeps plasmids in the cell. We have looked into different active partitioning systems and first chose to characterize and apply a Staphylococcus aureus type II plasmid segregation system for our framework. However, after a lot of consideration we have decided to search for alternatives. The main reason was that partitioning system of S. aureus is rather large, almost 00 kDa, as it codes two large proteins responsible for segregation. We have then stumbled upon a described pSC000 plasmid stability region which is a lot different from its counterpart. It does not seem to encode any protein but rather contains a binding site for DNA gyrase (Wahle and Kornberg, 0000). Most importantly, the regulatory region is only 000 base pair long. It has been showed that pSC000 plasmids with partial deletions of stability region have decreased supercoiling and are extremely unstable. This has led to the proposal that gyrase-generated negative supercoiling establishes a DNA conformation which enables plasmids to interact with specific E. coli structures and distribute them to daughter cells during cell division. The plasmid loss rates were measured using a method described by S. M. Deane et al. We wanted to compare plasmid loss rates with and without active partitioning system (PAR) in 0 different vectors. pSB0A0 vector and Base vector 0.0 (BBa_K000000) which we have built from Minimal base vector (BBa_K0000000) were used for the following experiments in E. coli DH0a strain.

After 000 generations cells were spread once again to see mRFP intensity decrease*, compared to the previous generations the number of mRFP containing colonies without active partitioning system is invisible, the intensity of mRFP of the transformants with active partitioning system is significantly decreased. *It is possible to evaluate plasmid-containing colonies by checking if the colony contains mRFP. However, it might be tricky since the intensity can be slightly visible in colony, in that case patching bacteria on LB plates is a more trustworthy method. Figure 0. Results from the second experiment where plasmid loss was evaluated using our base vector 0.0 (Minimal base vector with (Part:BBa_K0000000). Plasmid-containing bacteria decreased significantly in a vector without an active partitioning system, plasmid loss was already visible in a 00th generation. Where vector with an active partitioning system plasmid loss was not observed in a 00th generation, the loss of both vectors increased later on. Figure 0. A.

The UK's first ever national live music census took place in 0000. For 00 hours from noon on Thursday 0th March 0000, volunteers in cities across the country went out and about to live music events, from pub gigs to massed choirs to arena concerts. Live music censuses took place in our three primary snapshot cities of Glasgow, Newcastle-Gateshead and Oxford while affiliate censuses also ran in Brighton, Leeds and Southampton on 0-00 March and in Liverpool on 0-0 June, the affiliates led by members of UK Music's Music Academic Partnership (MAP). Nationwide online surveys for musicians, venues, promoters and audiences were online from March until June. The intention of the census project was to help measure live music's social, cultural and economic value, discover what challenges the sector is facing and inform policy to help live music flourish. This report, published in February 0000, sets out the findings of the census. It draws on survey data, both quantitative and qualitative, to bridge the current knowledge gap regarding the specific relationship between the value of live music on the one hand and the current challenges facing the UK's live music sector on the other. It also draws on eighteen semi-structured profile interviews with individual musicians and venue workers in order to provide illustrative examples of some of these challenges. Workers from small music venues and (music) bars/pubs form the majority of the interviewees - and, indeed, a key focus of the report - as this currently appears to be the area of the sector facing the most pressing challenges. It is also worth noting that, overall, over half of all participating census venues were from the smaller end of the sector.

Making incremental progress does not satisfy the most ambitious leaders. They are the ones who want Quantum Leaps. They are restless, they don't want to spend another year in maintaining the same Orbit. They want to propel an Orbit-Shift. But the reality is that, more often than not, these ambitious leaders get frustrated because the Mindsets and Tools that get used in pursuing an Orbit Shifting Challenge are incremental in nature. This frustration is a direct result of pursuing an Orbit-Shifting Challenge with Orbit-Maintaining tools. It is like fighting the next generation war with the old generation tools. What are the problems or challenges that "business as usual" ways can't solve? What are the challenges that can only be solved with Breakthrough Innovation? Not Improve But Transform - When the need is to not merely improve (say by 00-00%) but transform a process, product or business model, the starting point needs to be fundamentally different. When the challenge is to create a step jump then doing more of the same won't be enough. What is needed is an approach that will not just follow the existing paradigm but challenge it, what is needed is a paradigm shift. Not linear but Non-linear Growth - What parts of the current growth equation are extremely resource intensive and is a hurdle to future growth? Where has the current business cycle reached a point when the need is to break the traditional Resource to Results equation like ‘Doubling the rate of Growth is going to require Double the resources'. Creating a non-linear growth strategy, will need an approach that will fundamentally challenge the Why, the What and the How of the current growth equation. Hitting the Wall of Diminishing Returns - Where is your business hitting the Wall of Diminishing Returns? In other words, what are the business critical areas where more and more efforts are only producing incremental returns? What are those areas where a lot of time and effort has been invested but which yields only marginal gains? This symptom of diminishing returns is a clear indicator that investing more time and effort in the same direction won't help. What is needed is a radically different approach. Differentiating a Commodity - This question usually comes up when a new leader comes in and refuses to accept that a commodity cannot be differentiated. Finding a way to differentiate a commodity beyond price will need a series of Breakthrough questions in customer and channel engagement - it needs Breakthrough Innovation. Turnaround a Derailing Problem - Derailing problems usually strike when a radical change in the regulatory or competitive landscape occurs. The difference between the firms which thrive or the firms which struggle to survive lies in how an organisation chooses to respond. Faced with such derailing problems, most leaders get preoccupied in finding a fix that will prevents a negative fallout, a fix that will minimise the damage. But when a leader has chosen to not merely fix the problem but to turn it around into an Opportunity - then the approach needed must be radically different. When faced with one of these five Business Challenges, merely asking people to "Think out of the Box" won't be enough. A deliberate and rigorous application of Breakthrough Innovation will be needed. The subsequent parts of this article would discuss examples in each of these Breakthrough Challenges and how Breakthrough Innovation was applied to find that transformational solution. Rajiv founded Erehwon in 0000 and he has over the last 00+ years led it to becoming one of the world's leading Innovation Consulting firms. He has led a diverse and rich portfolio of strategic innovation & leadership initiatives with organisations across industries, cultures and countries including Johnson & Johnson, Bank of America, Max New York Life, Novartis, Unilever, IFF, Infosys, Wipro, ESPN etc. Recognised as an Innovation Thought Leader, Rajiv was part of National Planning Commission panel to recommend ‘India's Innovation Strategy', and the lead architect of the ‘Innovation for India' Foundation.

I'm headed to my son's college graduation at Clemson in South Carolina. His birthday falls on Mother's Day, just as it did when he was born 00 years ago. What a great reason to miss Mother's Day brunch back then. What a treat to be looking forward to sharing it now. Even though I'm still struggling with the disabling illness that felled me when he was in high school, I'm better. And so grateful to be able to enjoy this big triple-header. Here's the bitter: Everything I have missed in the lives of both my kids. No making wonderful mom/kid memories that would have stayed with us for a lifetime. Housebound and often bedridden, I was too sick to go even once to my daughter's university just two hours away to take her out for pizza with her new friends. Four years later when she graduated, I was no longer always housebound, but still extremely ill. I hid in the bathroom and sobbed several times that weekend in debilitating pain, then did my best to put on my game face. I pushed hard to go watch her walk down the Lawn at the University of Virginia, where her father and I met. I remember it felt like the effort was maybe going to kill me - but that was one moment I was not going to miss. Meanwhile, my son was in high school. Often I wasn't able to get groceries or stand up long enough to cook his favorite meals. My brain was so scrambled by Lyme disease I couldn't help him with his college essays. Me, the writer and editor who could no longer think. So many once-in-a-lifetime occasions slipped, breathtakingly colorful flowers too far away for me to touch. When my son came home from school, I'd be in my usual spot on one red sofa. After his homework, he'd throw himself down on the other, and we'd have a chat or maybe watch some t.v. His company was comforting. But I remember with horror the day he suggested I'd feel better if I "just did more." Something people often say to the chronically ill. I lost it, poor kid. Not my proudest moment as a mom. As mothers, we don't want our kids to feel our pain. Yet - don't they need to know real emotion? To be honest? The worst wasn't my own suffering. It was the loss for my kids, missing out on a mother who could be fun and creative and active. Who could give the support teenagers need so much. That wasn't my fault, yet it is heartbreakingly, unforgivably awful. They must have felt so alone. I've grieved for us, and for all the families who have missed out on events big and small because of chronic illness, pain, fatigue, or depression. We'll never get those times back. things on better days. I'm coping pretty well now. My kids have given me such great love, my son making me laugh, my daughter calling every day when I was in the thick of it. And the losses have taught me a thing or two. I've gotten better at appreciating even a scrap of time with them instead of wallowing in grief about the past. And I've learned to accept help. The first time I had to use a wheelchair at the airport I wept. Now I'm simply glad for the fabulous assistance today that makes this trip possible. I know I'll be smiling and relaxed in the graduation photos this time around, because treatment has brought me far enough for that. I'll be able to enjoy celebrating his birthday and Mother's Day along with graduation. And in my heart, I'll also be celebrating a fourth event: my daughter's college graduation. Three years after the fact, better late than never. Finally, I'm becoming the mom I used to be when they were little. I've found that encouraging steps toward recovery and a lot of learning make it possible to take the bitter with the sweet. I'm in a new place, and fervently hope other moms in my situation find their way here to such sweet emotions­­ - I can't think of a better Mother's Day gift. ← Guess What Eats Ticks in Your Yard?

If New York wise guy John Gotti is the "Teflon Don," then Seattle smart guy Bill Gates is surely the "Non-Stick Nerd" nobody can pin anything on the Microsoft chairman, not even the feds. On June 00, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overturned most of a lower courts judgment that would have broken software giant Microsoft into two separate entities one for the Windows operating system, and one for productivity and entertainment software. By bundling Internet software with Windows, and by refusing to share Windows code with other software developers, district court judge Thomas Penfield Jackson argued that Microsoft was violating U.S. antitrust laws i.e. was deliberately creating a monopoly by freezing out the competition. The court also devoted 00 pages of the 000 page appeal ruling to question the conduct of Judge Jackson, who broached ethics by speaking to the media during the course of the trial. His comments also appeared to be biased against Microsoft. "The judgment of the District Court is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded in part," wrote the court of appeals judges. They agreed that Microsoft was creating a monopoly through unusual business practices, but disagreed with the punitive measures suggested, including the proposed breakup of the company. The court of appeals then sent the case back to district court and a new judge. The basic grievance, that Bill Gates and Microsoft conspired to bury the competition, still stands. The U.S. Justice Department, which brought the antitrust suit against Microsoft in 0000 on behalf of 00 states, is determined to bring Microsoft to heel. Its reminiscent of Gotti once again. After beating the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) brought against him in 0000 (thus earning the Teflon Don nickname), the Justice Department doubled its efforts to bring Gotti to justice, going so far as to offer a plea bargain to Sammy "The Bull" Gravano a mob enforcer who admitted to 00 murders. As a result of Gravanos testimony, Gotti was sentenced to life without parole, and spent the last nine years in solitary in one of the worst prisons in the U.S. While the two cases have their obvious differences, you have to wonder how Bill Gates can be so confident that he will beat the Justice Department a second time. While the mafia hates rat finks like Gravano, the general consensus among wise guys is that Gotti brought about his own demise through his arrogance. When the court of appeals overturned the majority of Judge Jacksons ruling, Gates called a press conference and spoke like a man who fought the law and won.

I figured it would be for fire risk. Guess not this time. These new turbo machines keep getting bigger and bigger anyway. Its to the point where you can't even ride them on an actual trail anymore. 00 inches wide for some, that's literally almost the same width as a mid-size truck. I guess if you live near desert or dunes and have some really wide open areas to ride them they might be fun but for the rest they are overkill and overpriced. Who cares if they can run 00 mph if you can never go even half that fast before you would crash into something. Even on secluded gravel roads you still wouldn't be able to come even close to running them at full potential. I'm skeptical about the durability of these turbo engines anyway, both Polaris and Can-Am. I don't know. They run them under higher stress in snowmobiles and they hold up well. I agree that it's hard to find places where you can really open it up and hit top speeds. With the previous Outlander Max 000 XTP I had I got it up to 00 mph on my gps and held it there for about a half minute before I let up. One was on a nicely groomed old railtrail in the winter and the other was on an incredibly smooth, gently rolling dirt road where I could see the road for about a mile and a half. I've actually had the new beast out only two times since I got it last year. Just too busy with moving and such. The story of their life.

The Overwatch World Cup is returning once again this year to see who is the best of the best in Blizzard's colorful arena shooter game -- and fans are getting more and more excited every day. Blizzard announced its first World Cup in 0000, and pro players from across the globe came together at last year's BlizzCon to compete against one another. In this inaugural tournament, each national team fought hard to take the championship title, but South Korea walked away with the victory. This year, with new players and teams in the pro circuit, it can be anyone's game. We're just getting into the beginning stages of the World Cup, which will culminate at BlizzCon later this year. So there isn't too much information onthe big event yet -- but here's the breakdown on how this year's race for the World Cup is going to take off. From March through April, players from around the world will test each other in competitive mode on Overwatch. As players continue to play, Blizzard keeps record of top 000 players' skills online, and uses those scores to average each country's rank. By the end of April, the first 00 high-ranked countries will be qualified to compete for the World Cup. After the 00 countries are chosen, each country needs to form an Overwatch World Cup National Committee, which consists of three people in charge of roster picks during the competition matches and the finals. Blizzard asks for 00 expert nominees from each country, and qualified players then vote for whoever they want to choose the roster. During the summer, eight global teams will go head-to-head at lives event throughout the whole week. But this year, the live stages are not just set in California. Four different live stages will happen across Europe, North America, and Asia. Only the two last standing teams will be moving on to the Overwatch World Cup Finals, which will take place in during BlizzCon 0000 on November 0-0 in Anaheim, California. What Can Overwatch Fans Do to Support the World Cup? Regardless of their skill level, fans can participate through Competitive Play. Playing competitive mode can boost a player's national ranking every time they win a battle. Fans can also support their country by watching scheduled matches online or buying a ticket to see the event. For more info about the national ranks and where to watch their events, check out the official Ovewatch World Cup website. Get in there heroes, and play Overwatch!

Our blog provides you with all the latest information and social updates from our Facebook and Instagram feeds. PRP treatments - aka "The Vampire Facial" - What's all the fuss about? Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) based facial treatments have generated a considerable amount of media attention lately. From the Kardashian's to model Bar Rafaeli, these celebrities are loving this procedure. Popularly known as the Vampire Facial, they certainly don't mind showing off their treatments on social media. PRP treatments have become popular for their ability to completely rejuvenate the face, resulting in firmer, younger looking skin. The treatment improves the appearance of wrinkles, scars, rejuvenates the under eye area and tightens those stubborn pores, while adding volume. If younger looking skin wasn't enough, PRP treatments also stimulate collagen production. Why should I be worried about collagen stimulation? Since you were born, you have always generated and lost collagen. However, starting in your twenties and thirties, your production starts slowing down. And so, we are all challenged with being able to keep up with the loss of collagen, making this treatment ideal for all clients. PRP is natural and created from within your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn from you and placed in a sterile tube that is spun in a centrifuge to separate the different parts of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of platelets and is called platelet rich plasma, or PRP. Platelets are the cells in the blood that assist tissue to mend and develop new cells. The PRP, injected into specific areas of the skin, act as a grid that promotes your own collagen to grow, regenerates tissue, and acts to naturally smooth and tighten the skin, stimulates the creation of new skin cells and regeneration of damaged cells. The process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which gives your skin a glow and will immediately feel smoother and softer, with progressive improvements continuing for several months. Typically, the PRP treatment is from £000. As an added bonus, we offer our clients a way to spread the cost of treatment with our monthly Membership Plans. Ask how our plans can work for you. Like us on Facebook to keep up to date with our latest posts!

Statistics Netherlands (CBS) announced today that the inflation rate was 0.0 percent in July 0000, i.e. the same as in June. For the third consecutive month, the average year-on-year increase in consumer prices was below 0 percent. Rents were raised by 0.0 percent, but because the rent increase in July 0000 was also substantial, this did not affect inflation. On average, consumer prices were 0.0 percent up in July 0000 from July 0000. Rents were raised by an average of 0.0 percent, which accounted for the bulk of the price increase, but the rent increase did not have an upward effect on inflation, because last year's rent increase was even higher. With 0.0 percent, the annual rent increase in July 0000 was the highest since July 0000. The substantial rent increase is caused by the new rent policy to the effect that the maximum increase equals the inflation rate of the preceding year plus an income-related percentage. Clothing prices had a downward effect on inflation. In July this year, clothes were reduced more in price than during last year's summer sale, while in June price reductions for clothes were not as big as in June 0000. Motor fuels also had a dampening effect on inflation. Motor fuel prices were 0.0 percent above the level of one year previously, but, on an annual basis, the price increase in June was more substantial. Prices of fresh vegetables had an upward effect on inflation. Although fresh vegetables were cheaper than last year, the price reduction on an annual basis was much larger in June. The European Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) is used to facilitate comparison between the EU countries. A major difference between inflation calculated according to the Dutch method and the HICP is that the latter does not incorporate costs related to home ownership. In July as well as June, the inflation rate on the basis of the HICP was 0.0 percent, i.e. marginally below the eurozone level of 0.0 percent. According to the ECB, prices are stable, if the inflation rate is just under 0 percent. Since October 0000, the eurozone inflation rate has been below 0 percent. On the basis of the low inflation level in the recent past, the ECB decided on Thursday 0 June this year to lower its interest rates. The ECB expects the eurozone inflation rate to rise as a result of this measure.

We are almost half through the month of Ramadan. So far everything moves according to a plan. So far I am sticking to my Ramadan Goals. I realized that setting an achievable goals really helps me accomplish all the important things I want to do. Take a a photo of something that calm you down. Watching my baby sleep, really helps me to stay calm. I love that one minute life with a toddler can be chaos and on another minute it can be as calm as sea after the storm. The only thing that is worth stealing is a kiss when your baby is sleep. I just love seeing his whole body response to a simple and sweet touch of a kiss.

BaseFab emulates the Fortran array concept. Useful operations can be performed upon BaseFab's in C++, and they provide a convenient interface to Fortran when it is necessary to retreat into that language. `BaseFab' is a template class. Through use of the template, a `BaseFab' may be based upon any class. So far at least, most applications have been based upon simple types like `integer's, `real's, or `doubleprecision's. Most applications do not use BaseFab's directly, but utilize specialized classes derived from BaseFab. It will be easier to use a `BaseFab' if you understand the following concepts. `BaseFab' objects depend on the dimensionality of space (indirectly through the DOMAIN `Box' member). It is typical to define the macro `CH_SPACEDIM' to be 0, 0, or 0 to indicate the dimension of space. See the discussion of class `Box' for more information. A `BaseFab' contains a `Box' DOMAIN, which indicates the integer indexing space over which the array is defined. A `BaseFab' also has NVAR components. By components, we mean that for each point in the rectangular indexing space, there are NVAR values associated with that point. A Fortran array corresponding to a `BaseFab' would have (CH_SPACEDIM+0) dimensions. By design, the array layout in a `BaseFab' mirrors that of a Fortran array. The first index (x direction for example) varies most rapidly, the next index (y direction), if any, varies next fastest. The component index varies last, after all the spatial indices. It is sometimes convenient to be able to treat a sub-array within an existing `BaseFab' as a `BaseFab' in its own right. This is often referred to as 'aliasing' the `BaseFab'. Note that when aliasing is used, the BaseFab's domain will not, in general, be the same as the parent BaseFab's domain, nor will the number of components. BaseFab is a dimension dependent class, so CH_SPACEDIM must be defined as either 0, 0, or 0 when compiling. This is NOT a polymorphic class. It does NOT provide a copy constructor or assignment operator. T MUST have a default constructor and an assignment operator. Referenced by PetscSolver< T >::solve_mfree_private(), and PetscSolver< T >::solve_private().

Next Tuesday, on 0nd April, HMD Global is rumored to announce a new device, the Nokia X00. In a leak from China we saw few a days ago, the X00 should come with a punch-hole display and 00MP rear camera, that should be joined with an super wide-angle second lens. According to info from Nokibar Baidu forum in China, the Nokia X00 is codenamed TAS, and is indeed the global Nokia 0 (0000). The new Nokia 0 should retain the price of her predecessor, and if that turns out to be true, a device with a punch-hole display, 00MP camera and an ultra wide-angle camera for around €000 might be a good competitor on the market. The 0nd of April is soon, and we will know more then. I hope the global release will follow soon. Considering that Nokia 0.0 and 0.0 aren't on sale yet, I'm a bit sceptical of a global launch before May or June.

Nice concert from the A Night At The Opera Tour in the US. It misses at least the Rock'n'Roll medley, so this concert is not complete. The March Of The Black Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody (Reprise) and Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon are cut from the beginning. The Prophet's Song is slightly cut in the end. On the last 0 songs the sound comes only from the right channel. The sound quality is around B-/B, so it is quite nice and enjoyable. There are some tape speed problems on a few parts. No copy errors. Not from mp0.

Fightback Canada - Victory to the Teachers! BC Fed must call a General Strike to defend free collective bargaining! Yet again, the BC Liberal Government has removed the democratic right of employees to strike. From the UBC TA's, to the ferry workers and hospital employees, workers rights and public programs are coming under constant attack. Now the Liberals plan to use BC's teachers as their next layer of cannon fodder. On, October 0th, 00 000 public school teachers will illegally walk the line in defence of their right to collectively bargain, to go on strike and to save education for BC's youth. Fightback stands together with the striking teachers. Long gone are the days we can tell students "you have your whole future in front of you." With class sizes increasing, giving students a quality education becomes increasingly hard. As resources are stretched to the limits and beyond, students are left behind without the skills to survive in today's world. The Liberal agenda in our classrooms turn students into commodities, and graduates into quotas for teachers. The BC Teachers' Federation (BCTF) is the next line of defence in a wider battle over workers' rights to have a union, collectively bargain and to strike. Asking for only a 00% raise over 0 years and smaller class sizes to better be able to reach out to youth in need is not that much. It is no accident that in a province where we can find 00 year olds building houses, that the government is not concerned with the conditions in the classrooms these youth should be in. The Liberals changed the labour code to remove teachers' right to strike for a reason. Striking is always the last option for any worker. Capitalism, and its political backers, must attack the living standards of the working class if they are to boost profits and not fall victim to the competition of the next guy. Larger classrooms are a way of achieving a higher quota. Less money spent on schools means better tax breaks for the rich. The Liberals know which side they're on, and will use their connections to achieve their aims. The Liberals may have the law, but we have the numbers and a will to fight! When the government legislates teachers back to work we must defy their order. First the UBC Teaching Assistants defied legislation. Then the ferry workers went on illegal strike. Both acts of militancy forced the government to back down. The capitalist laws are not worth the paper they are written on when confronted by mass working class action. The hospital employees took the lessons of the past to heart during their strike. Solidarity action quickly spread from the bottom up. The private sector began to come out in support and cries of "General Strike!" became common. Unfortunately, the union and NDP leadership betrayed the movement and signed a sellout agreement behind the backs of the workers. The leaders were more interested in their careers than they were with the interests of the rank and file. Now teachers must keep their leaders accountable. This fight cannot be over until the workers vote to say it is over! This strike is not just about the Teachers' demands; it is about the right of all workers to free collective bargaining. The Teachers have already learned many lessons from previous struggles and CUPE support staff are refusing to cross picket lines. Teachers also have a 00.0% mandate for illegal strike and a resolution was also passed requiring another vote before returning to work. However, the Teachers must not be left to fight the government alone - the strike must be generalized to the entire labour movement. The BC Federation of Labour must organize a general strike and the teachers must send delegations to other unions and workplaces to expand the strike. Telus workers have begun to send out flying picket squads in their struggle. Students can also play a role in supporting the teachers who are fighting for their future. By learning from the successes and failures of other strikes is the only way to guarantee against defeat and sellout. The HEU was building towards a general strike. That was sold out. This is a fight over more than just education. It's a fight about every worker's right to a decent existence. The time to demand a general strike has arrived! The bigger our threat the easier it will be to force the government to back down. If the teachers are defeated it will give a green light to the Liberals to walk over all of our democratic rights. A line needs to be drawn in the sand if we are not to live in a dictatorial society. The BC Fed must organize a general strike to defend the right to free collective bargaining. If the Liberals cannot give us free collective bargaining then the government should fall so we can elect one that can. The Liberals have shown whose interests they govern in. Members of Fightback have been on the lines with the UBC TAs, with the Ferry Workers, with the HEU, and now with the Teachers. Join us if you want militant action to kick out the Liberals! VICTORY TO THE TEACHERS! DEFEND THE RIGHT TO STRIKE AND BARGAIN! NO SELLOUTS! FIGHT BACK UNTIL WE WIN!

With a reputation of being loved by artists, writers, The Rolling Stones, and even George Orwell, Tangier's tanginess is no secret. Excited but with a slight apprehension to visit Tangier due to hearsay and what I read in the past, this did not stop me landing in Tangier. I want to experience this city for myself. If you travel from Moulay Bousselham, the one-hour taxi trip to Asilah takes you through a very arid and baked flat landscape, with sporadic green patches of farmed river-fed land. Arriving in Asilah, the remaining fifty kilometres to Tangier is by train and an easy enough journey. Asilah would be a lovely stopover but as time is running out, then it is on to Tangier. With only a couple of nights in this sprawling city, there is not enough time to explore properly or to absorb the ambience. Carthaginian colonists founded the city in the 0th century BC. Since then, an ensuing flood of sieges and invaders - Romans, Byzantines, Portuguese, English, French, and Spanish have all wanted a piece of this strategic patch. And their legacy remains in the city's architecture, language, food, and mannerisms. Understandably so, due to its geographical position, Tangier boasts a history of trading. Today, there are two major Ports in Tangier: Port of Tangier (passenger terminal) and Tanger-Med (mostly cargo and is the biggest port in Africa). A popular tourist destination, the headiness of Tangier confronts you on arrival, regardless of how you land. Organised chaos within a fusion of nationalities meander the Old City, Kasbah, markets, and sporadic tiny stalls - all of this generates a certain je ne sais quoi vibe. On the streets, western-style clothing intertwines effortlessly with the traditional Moroccan djellaba (mystical pointy-hooded robe), which represents a merging of cultures and mutual acceptances. Have no expectations when you arrive. No pre-conceived ideas. Stay. And then, make up your own mind. Tangier is a city that you either like or you don't. Meander the alleyways and you certainly stumble upon crumbled buildings in dismal condition. Though, around the very next corner, be surprised by an elegantly restored Riad or imposing Mosque. Previous to the 0000s, Tangier's character as the playground for the literary-minded and rich was no secret. This changed as the city was left alone to deteriorate for decades until recently, when modernisation is beginning to transform Tangier once more. Stop long enough down an alleyway or shaded corner and you may be offered a little Hashish. There is no discreteness or pretence in this city. Tangier is raw, seedy, without pompousness, and the realness is what I admire. Others may find it too tangy. A favourite stop for artists and writers in past centuries, this grand building retains a revered history. As the hotel was closed at the time of writing, the external facade had to suffice. In 0000, Eugène Delacroix the French painter rested at this hotel. And just before WWI, Henri Matisse chose to live and work in Tangier, in this very hotel. Window at Tangier, was painted in 0000 from his room 00. Stay in this room if you wish as the hotel re-opened officially in 0000, after its closure for two decades. The lust for walking down antiquated narrow passages, crowded with locals vying for a space on ancient cobbles, and getting lost, is a favourite pastime. Forget the GPS and just follow your nose. Everyday life in Morocco unfolds before your eyes with each stone archway you ramble beneath, local you pass amidst the density of the crowded Medina, and in dodging the precariously-ladened motorbikes. Leave your site checklist and phone behind. Instead, explore what awaits' around each aged bend, through these timeworn surrounds. You can be forgiven if feeling slightly overwhelmed when suffering from sensory overload, whilst wandering through huddled buildings, swarms of locals, and aromas that melt into the medina's thick noisy air. The effects and excitement from a city that seems perpetually awake, is intoxicating. Have you heard of Chefchaouen, Morocco's stunning Blue City, perched high in the Rif Mountains? You must make time to see this incredibly serene part of Morocco, which is only a couple of hours from Tangier and one of the highlights of Morocco for me, so, check out my Chefchaouen post. Around five minutes only from the Port of Tangier and medina, I absolutely love and recommend the Hotel Continental. One of the oldest hotels in Morocco and a National heritage site, the interior is breathtaking. Enjoy a cool refreshing beverage whilst watching the sun set from the terrace, overlooking panoramic Mediterranean bay views, across to Gibraltar and Spain in the near distance. The hotel's grandiose interior graced with intricate Zellige tiles is testament to an opulent era, from a past long gone in Tangier. Savour the delicious buffet breakfast, whilst admiring splendid views from stained-glassed arches. So many beautiful pieces to photograph lay hidden inside this hotel. Returning to the Hotel Continental following the trip to Chefchaouen then Ceuta. The service and accommodation was just as good the second time. The time has come to leave Morocco and head for an even longer journey through South America - for as long as it takes. As the one-way flight to Buenos Aires (Argentina) leaves from Casablanca, the cheapest way from Tangier south once more, is on the five-hour comfortable train journey. I do enjoy Moroccan train trips. Indeed...I've read much about many people not liking Tangier at all, but sometimes you need to look at a destination from a different angle. There will always be things you like and dislike about a place...part of travelling. Haha! When is a good question. 🙂 Last year was of dreadful impact on our lives. Barely lifting my head up. Affects "serious" writing. I am mid-way in putting up a schedule though. Too many writing projects in my head. Need to put an order. I think a rough plan is a good idea to keep you on track, otherwise you waste too much time as I do. You probably have enough photos and material to write a biography on your grandfather and your uncle! Worse than that. My father wrote a history of the family going back to the 0000's. !!!!! Wow, fantastic and what a read! Tangier seems a bit too commercialized for me, but I think it would still be a cool place to visit. The interior of the hotel is AMAZING! It is commercialised but it has been a tourist destination for an age so that brings its own set of changes to a city, whether good or bad. Amazing. So many great destination in Marocco. Yes, Morocco is an amazing country - so diverse and vibrant. Great post! We visited Fez last year and really loved it, can't wait to go back to Morocco and visit the other amazing places. Thank you for your feedback. I would like to also return. This is one of those places we see in old movies and it looks so exotic and other-worldly. The mosaic tiled walls are so beautiful. Very true but many of the cities in Morocco are exotic. Moroccan building are graced with stunning intricate Zellige tiles. I would have loved to spend more time in Casablanca as one night was not enough. Many thanks for you feedback. So glad you posted this along with the marvelous photos. We will be in Tangier on May 00. Can't wait to see the medina, the architecture, the people. It seems like a dream to me that we will be there. Wow, not long before your holiday. Hope you have a wonderful time. Are you travelling to any other areas in Morocco? If so, check out more posts, I have one more coming out this week on Morocco. Here's where we're going: Marrakech, Erg Chennai, Fes, Chefchoen, Tangier. And points in between. So excited! These are the places that I've written about in my Morocco posts. Although I visited in 0000, I'm sure the country is still as spectacular...you'll have a ball. My Chefchaouen post is out on Sunday. I can't tell you how excited I am about going. The architecture here looks incredible. Such a dream of mine to go here! I'm sure you'll get to Morocco. The architecture is incredible throughout Morocco not just in Tangier. This will probably be our entry city for our trip to Morocco since we'll come from Spain. The Intercontinental Hotel is stunning. I'll be using your Morocco posts to help me plan my trip, Nilla! Excellent, you'll have a wonderful time. How long is your holiday Aixa? I have one more post on Morocco coming out later this week. You have to visit Chefchaouen.

It had been five years since I had gone trick-or-treating. I've got a baby face. Sometimes it's awful, specifically when I want to buy a bottle of wine at the grocery store and the cashier thinks my ID is fake because I don't look a day over sixteen. But, there are times where looking like a child has its perks. Halloween is one of those times. I stopped trick-or-treating the year I attended school in Chicago. My campus wasn't near any neighborhoods great for trick-or-treating. They were all high rise apartments and businesses. Since we were all adults now, we didn't go trick or treating. We went to parties. We went school events. Trick-or-treating was for kids. I had four more Halloweens of parties and bar hopping until I met my friend Sam who convinced me to go trick-or-treating this year. When he brought up the idea, I thought he was joking. Adults don't trick-or-treat! That's for kids! But he was serious. "Will they let us?" I asked as if candy givers checked IDs of trick-or-treaters. Now, this brings me back to my first point about passing for someone not a day over sixteen. I realized I could easily pass for a teen. They have no idea that I was a twenty-two-year-old college senior on their way to becoming the next best selling author or something. So it was settled then. On Halloween, I would go trick-or-treating for the first time in five years. On the night we went, I dressed as the dancing pumpkin meme and my friend went as David S. Pumpkin from SNL. We walked from his dorm to the neighborhood which had been more upscale. The houses had elaborate decorations and large yards. Sam said he had a good feeling about this neighborhood. We stopped at every house with an open gate and a lit porchlight and not once did someone ask us, "Aren't you a little too old for trick-or-treating?" No one questioned us once. I felt like a kid again. Memories of trick-or-treating with my friends flooded back to me as we went door to door collecting candy. After the night was done and my pillowcase was full of candy, we dragged our hauls on the CTA back home. I had the best Halloween I've had in a while. I didn't need to go to a party. I didn't need to get drunk. I felt happy with my bag of candy. I think what I learned is that I don't need to grow up too fast. I've only been an adult for five years. I've got plenty of time to figure things out and plenty of time to enjoy myself and enjoy being young.

Can an Instructables Member Make Classes? Hello, I'm part of a company that does a lot of stuff that customers would ask questions about, and I was wondering if it is an option to make classes on Instructables or if that was a potential consideration from your end. I would find it useful, even if it was limited to a Pro membership. It's something that I think personally my company would consider paying for. I would even consider it individually. The ability to make classes that people would want to learn would be invaluable. Of course the only question would be is if others feel the same way I do. If this is already a feature that I can take part in, let me know, as I'm not currently aware of any way to access it, and I don't want to pay for a Pro membership unless I know for certain that that's a feature that would come with it. I would appreciate any answers you can give on this topic. Thank you, and hope you're all having a pleasant day. The creation of formal classes (https://www.instructables.com/classes/) is currently limited to a handful of staff that work for the site. Alright, thanks for the help in this regard! You should make an Instructable - what is it about?

Originally posted by Betsy de Parry, AnnArbor.com Community Contributor, on Sun, Jul 00, 0000 : 0 a.m. I'm not alone. The cyber world is flooded with concerns and assumptions, not to mention a whole lot of misinformation. And no wonder. The debate has been framed in the context of politics and spun to benefit one side or the other, leaving most of us confused and some of us downright scared about how the law will impact that most vital and intimate of relationships: that between patients and doctors. We'll be around long after this election cycle is over. There are no simple answers to anything as complex as health care, but those who are on the front lines are best qualified to provide accurate insight. Dr. Ora Pescovitzand Rob Casalou are on those front lines, navigating the challenges of providing and improving our care every day. Dr. Pescovitz is the CEO of the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS), which treated 0.0 million people in an outpatient basis and 00,000 people in the hospital last year. And they tell us so much more, which is why I share their replies to my questions in their entirety. Q. How - or will - the ACA change our relationships with our doctors? Mr. Casalou: Our relationship with our doctors continues to change because of the laws of economics and not the laws created by our government. The fact is that our country cannot sustain the costs of the health care system as it is structured today. The idea of managing populations and trying to reduce costly care is not because of the ACA, it is because of economic reality. Health care can be expensive, it can be uncomfortable and it can take time away from other priorities in our lives. Yet, it is a product we need and it must be high quality and low cost. Thus, for us to deliver that product, doctors and hospitals must align closely and have common incentives to make sure we try and maintain a healthy population in the communities we serve. This is one of the major reasons we came together with IHA. Dr. Pescovitz: One of the big things that the ACA emphasizes is quality of care - are doctors and their teams doing everything for patients that we know is proven to work and that can keep people healthy? And, it's tying payment to performance on quality measures and patient satisfaction. This is a big change for our industry and, quite frankly, one that is a long time coming. Now, hospitals and doctor's offices will be working even harder to make sure patients get the right care at the right time. It will be financially beneficial to avoid unnecessary tests and procedures, reduce duplicative efforts and make process improvements that reduce readmissions, hospital-acquired infections and the like. All of this should help improve patients' overall experience - and health. For people who haven't had a regular doctor, such as people without insurance, the ACA will make it easier for them to get the kind of regular care they need and build a relationship with a doctor who can work with them on their health issues. One of the reasons health care spending is so out of control is that, as a nation, we don't do a good job on the preventive side of care and, as a result, people develop preventable chronic conditions that are costly to their health and to the health care system. With more people having access to care, we have an opportunity to take better care of patients early on and see them regularly as they age and their health needs change. This will have significant long-term impact on the health of our population and on health care spending. We (UMHS) have a bit of a "head start" on making these kinds of changes because we have spent the last five years proving that we can provide exactly the kind of coordinated, high-quality care that the ACA is designed to encourage, while containing the growth of costs. We did this in a Medicare demonstration project that laid the groundwork for Accountable Care Organizations (ACO), and we're doing it now through our new Pioneer ACO with the physicians of U-M and IHA (a multi-speciality group practice). We are also pioneering a "patient centered medical home" model that the ACA encourages. Q. Because the ACA gives millions more people access to health care, there is speculation that the influx of new patients will strain the system beyond capacity. What assurance, if any, can you give patients that waiting for months to see doctors won't be the norm? Mr. Casalou: First, we believe creating the ability for all people to access care is a good thing. We also need to remember that many of the current uninsured patients in our community do access care and use the health care system now. Many pay out of pocket for their health care, and we and other hospitals currently write off all or part of medical bills for the uninsured. So, while there will be more patients accessing care, not all the newly insured will be incremental to our health care system. Having said that, we are building capacity, particularly in primary care, to provide a medical home for all our patients. Just this past year our physician partner, IHA, added several primary care doctors and nurse practitioners and will continue to do so in the coming months and years. We do not anticipate longer wait lists or lower quality in the care of patients as a result of increasing demand. Q. Our doctors are already constrained by time. Do you anticipate that the time they spend with us will decrease? Dr. Pescovitz: In my 00 years of treating patients, and working with medical students and residents, there's one constant: We always want to be able to spend more time with our patients, and to be able to see all the patients who want to see us. But, more importantly, we want the time we spend with patients to matter. I am hopeful that trends in health care, including those influenced by the ACA, will help doctors make the most of the time with patients. With millions more insured Americans, we will definitely see more people seeking access to care they haven't previously had, so we will need to be diligent and responsive to this influx. The ACO model addresses this by suggesting a structure of more coordinated care amongst all members of an individual's health care team. Also, the ACA incentivizes hospitals and doctor's offices to invest in technologies and care strategies that can make them run more efficiently - such as computer systems and physician extenders. So, these measures may help reduce the time doctors spend on things besides caring for patients. At the same time, there's a great push to increase the supply of doctors. Q. There is speculation that the ACA is driving doctors who are currently practicing out of medicine and that it will drive the best and the brightest young people to professions other than medicine, which, of course, will mean fewer doctors to treat more people. Are you seeing any evidence of this? Dr. Pescovitz: I interact with faculty, residents, medical students and community physicians from all over the country all the time, and we all share a common drive to help people get better and live more productive and fulfilling lives. Whether we do that as physicians delivering care, scientists developing treatments or faculty teaching future generations of physician-scientists, it is part of our core. I don't think that has changed or will change. Medicine remains one of the most rewarding and sacred professions. I don't think the ACA is driving people away from medicine. It would be premature to draw such a conclusion. Actually, more young people are applying to medical school than ever before - 0,000 more nationwide last year compared with a decade ago! I do think that the profession is changing as lifestyles and priorities change, and as new generations enter the workforce. Today, people prioritize work-life balance differently and are making career decisions that reflect this priority. At the same time, we are seeing young professionals and students with more technological expertise bring new and exciting perspectives and skills that will certainly shape the future of medicine. Q. We've seen drug shortages as recently as a few months ago. Won't this only get worse as millions of new people enter the system? How is this possibility being addressed? Mr. Casalou: The other way to look at this question is to say that if we have millions of people who are not receiving adequate care, including medications, isn't it incumbent on us to build the capacity to meet the demand? Wouldn't any other manufacturing or service industry do the same? Q. The ACA has been called government-run health care. Will the government now dictate what procedures we can or cannot have or will those decisions still rest with our doctors? Dr. Pescovitz: Those who throw stones at "government run health care" often ignore the fact that huge numbers of Americans already rely on government-run plans such as Medicare, veterans' care, Medicaid, and special programs for sick children. All of these programs, and insurance plans from private companies, give doctors a lot of leeway to decide what is best for their patients and will continue to do so. As the ACA takes full effect, that should still be true. And there will be more research at places like U-M to actually study what works best, so more patients can get proven care. In fact, our new University of Michigan Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation was conceived to bring together hundreds of health services researchers who share a common goal of studying health outcomes to ensure better, safer, more equitable and more cost effective health care. Q. Serious illnesses such as cancer may require periodic, long term or lifelong treatment. Is there anything in the law that will prevent our doctors from treating us at any time in the course of our illnesses? Mr. Casalou: I don't see anything in this law that will prevent or withhold appropriate care to patients. Q. There is speculation that the cost of administering the ACA and/or increased demand will drive up costs which in turn will drive up premiums. True or false and why? Mr. Casalou: If the only outcome of the ACA is to have more people using the current system with the current cost structure and utilization of high-end services then, yes, costs will go up. However, this outcome would not be economically sustainable. This is why accountable care was a centerpiece of the legislation. The idea is that we will increase access to care while lowering the cost of care per individual as we maintain health rather than have a system based on sick care. Both of these elements are crucial for this to succeed. Q. What does the ACA mean to research, clinical trials and patients who want to participate in them? Dr. Pescovitz: The ACA is already funding a wide range of research that compares medical treatment options and gives us valuable information on what works and what doesn't. As for clinical trials, the majority of funding for those comes from federal agencies whose budgets aren't affected by the ACA, but are facing budget cuts because of the failure of the "super committee" last year. In fact, federal and state funding for all kinds of medical research, not just clinical trials, is going down - not up - and that's posing a big challenge to research institutions like ours. Groups like Research!America offer a lot of information online about this threat and what members of the public can do about it. Private companies also fund a lot of clinical trials, and there are new requirements outside of the ACA to make sure that these are done safely and transparently. Additionally, we are seeing a trend in philanthropic support for research, which will become more important as other funding sources dry up. Q. What would you say to patients who are concerned about the new law? Dr. Pescovitz: Learn more and get informed! When you strip away the politics, it is clear that most people simply are uninformed and rightfully concerned about what the ACA means for them and their families. Healthcare.gov is a good resource for information, as ishealthlawguide.aarp.org. Also, talk to your doctor and stay engaged in the ongoing conversation as we work through changes in health care. We want patients to be our partners in shaping this change. Change is never easy, but these changes are long overdue. We must get American health care to a better place. Doctors and hospitals are already becoming more motivated to provide high-quality care and better customer service because of the ACA. If you have children who are young adults, are in the Medicare prescription drug "doughnut hole," or have a pre-existing condition that makes it hard for you to find affordable insurance, the ACA is already helping you. And no matter what your situation, the ACA is intended to make sure that we as a society spend our health care dollars more wisely, fairly and humanely. This is a journey. We didn't get here overnight and it will certainly take many years - even decades - to see the full impact of changes we are enacting today. But, positive change is necessary. Mr. Casalou: I would say to try and filter through the politics and rhetoric of the law. It is complicated and people who are on both sides of the politics of the law spend a lot of time trying to create fear or overstating aspects of the legislation. The law is far from perfect, but so is our current health care system. Our system needs a transformation and, if the bill has done nothing else, it has put a spotlight on a problem that has been growing for several years, and has become too costly and not accessible to all Americans. I suspect the law will get refined over time to deal with problems as they arise. For us, we are staying the course. Q. Most everyone agrees that the current system of American health care is not sustainable. What steps are health care systems like yours taking to decrease costs without sacrificing patient care? Dr. Pescovitz: For a country that wants to be the best at everything, health care is an area where we lag significantly. We have amazing options for people who have good insurance, and terrible options for people who don't. As a nonprofit, UMHS provides a large amount of care either for free or at reduced cost to those who don't have coverage. But, we can't do this for everyone. No system can. As a society, we're spending health care dollars badly, because we pay for emergencies and care for advanced disease that has gone untreated, rather than prevention and lower cost, early-stage intervention. Make no mistake - if you have insurance, whether through private insurance or a government program, the truth is you already pay for the cost of caring for the uninsured, so it benefits the majority of our country's population to get national health care spending under control. Inaction isn't an option. The ACA, and changes to health care reimbursement that were taking effect long before the ACA, are making hospitals, doctor's offices and other health providers become more efficient. The ACA and insurers are driving us to make much-needed changes in computerization, quality measurement and customer service that other industries have long had in place. That means reducing waste, to reduce unnecessary costs, but it also means investing in things that will improve the patient experience and provide the care that patients actually need, rather than what pays the bills. For nearly a decade, we've been working with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan to lead efforts to improve care at hospitals statewide, in specialties such as heart care, cancer care and medical imaging. These are data-driven, cooperative efforts that have resulted in much better outcomes for patients and hundreds of millions of dollars in avoided costs because doctors and hospitals are doing things in consistent, proven ways instead of just the way they've always done them. Mr. Casalou: For the past four years, we have been getting our health care system ready for the new realities of health care. The plan has many facets including reducing costs through redesign or elimination of costly programs and excess capacity. Examples include the elimination of our helicopter service and contracting with UM, and converting the St. Joseph Mercy Saline hospital into a outpatient health center that more appropriately meets the needs of the community. In fact, the collaboration between St. Joe's and UM in recent months is intended to benefit our community by eliminating redundancies and coordinating the delivery of services where appropriate. The plan also includes investments in the front end of care, our physicians, and creating a medical community at St. Joe's that is aligned and cohesive. Examples include the merger with IHA and the subsequent growth of our physician network. The plan includes redesigning care to create a high quality and safe care environment. We are seeing great results as St. Joe's has received national recognitions and awards this past year for high quality care and patient satisfaction. And last, but definitely not least, we are working to keep our employees engaged as members of health care family by maintaining a work environment that enriches them as professionals. We keep what is called a "balanced scorecard" where we measure every aspect of our plan to make sure that we are achieving all of our goals and not focused just on one area.

C00.000 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified malignant neoplasm of skin of left eyelid, including canthus. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD0 and ICD00, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD00 code C00.000 and a single ICD0 code, 000.00 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.

So that was my little rant, and enjoy the story. "Cause u gotta GET UP!!! U GOTTA WAKE UP!! U BETTER WAKE UP! IT&apos;S TIME TO GET UP, GET UP, IT&apos;S TIME TO GET UP!! It&apos;s time to get up.." I woke to the screaming of Kate and the boys jumping on our bunk. Yeah, both me and zayn were perfect and enjoying our sleep before they showed up. "GUYS GET UP!! I KNOW YOU&apos;RE ENJOYING SLEEPING TOGETHER BUT U NEED TO GET UP!! I WANT MY COURTNEY BACK, YOU CAN&apos;T HAVE HER ZAYN!!" Lou screamed loudly righ outside the bunk. My eyes shot open and my eyebrows went up. His Courtney? What the heck? "your Courtney?" I asked Lou, sitting up next to zayn. "yes MY Courtney, zayn cannot take you from me!" Lou said in a serious tone. At what Lou just said, zayns eyes open wide, threw his arm around me and pulled me down towards him. My back hit his bare chest as he held me tight. WHOA! 0 pack much? And why the heck did I not know he wasn&apos;t wearing a shirt? We lay there cuddling facing the wall, our backs to the opening of the bunk and Louis. "no Lou, I&apos;m pretty sure she&apos;s mine." zayn said cooly with a smirk on his face. I felt my cheeks heat up and zayn chuckled clearly noticing my blush. Dang I guess a girls luck has to run out sometime. The next thing I knew zayns arms were absent leaving me cold, and a thump hit the floor. I sat up so quickly I felt a little dizzy. Before I could register what happened to hands gripped my waist and was lifted into Lou&apos;s chest. Zayn was on the floor glaring up at us. Lou looked down at zayns angry face and said "uh oh" as zayn was getting up and sprinted away with me in his arms. The others laughed enjoying the show while Kate&apos;s laugh was the loudest. Lou kept running until we had to stop at a dead end, I mean a bus isn&apos;t that long. "I&apos;m soooo dead" Lou whispered down at me. I didn&apos;t respond as zayn burst through the door looking very angry. Uh oh. "give me my girl." zayn hissed holding his arms out for Lou to give me to him. "here you go!!" Louis screamed pushing me into zayns firm arms and running out of the room at full speed. "your girl?" I asked. I know out of all that happened that was the only thing on my mind. I raised my eyebrows at him as he tightened his grip on me starting to walk into the other room with our other friends. "yes my girl." he said in a tone so serious it surprised me. "come on me and Harry are taking you and Kate shopping for the concert tonight. Even though you do look AMAZAYN in my clothes." he gave me a lop-sided grin. "wow that is just pathetic, I thought saying things were AMAZAYN were just for the fans." I said sarcastically. "no, me and the boys think its awesome!" he fake glared at me causing me to smile. "oooooooo ZAYN LIKES COURTNEY! ZAYN LIKES COURTNEY!!" Kate screamed jumping around the guys. We had just walked in and one glance at me in his arms, she freaked out. "shut up Kate!" zayn yelled at her trying to hide his smile but failing. And I could of swore I saw his cheeks turn a slight pink.

The challenges involved in developing a new car wash project, no matter where it's located, can be a very difficult and trying experience, as we in the business know all too well. Attempting to open a wash in South Florida, the area along the southeast coast from the city of Jupiter down to Key Largo, typically borders on the insane - even for highly experienced wash operators. But for those gifted with a lot of perseverance, tenacity, grit, and determination - as well as some very deep pockets - it can be accomplished in time. This article will describe the difficulties in the development of a small but highly successful full-service car wash chain over a 00-year period in this specific area. The region known as South Florida, located along the lower southeast coast of the state, encompasses an elongated area approximately 000 miles long and averages some 00 miles in width. Bordered by the vast Atlantic Ocean on the east and the massive Everglades wetlands on the west, it is home to some 0 million full- and part-time residents. Blessed with warm tropical weather, beautiful beaches, and a laid-back attitude, South Florida is well known as a popular retirement area, especially for Americans from the northeast part of the country. If fact, there are so many retirees living here that many businesses are designed to specifically cater to their needs. Car washing is one of them. While express and flex-type car washes are all the rage throughout most of the country, traditional full-service models are still going strong in South Florida and exceedingly popular. One of the very best wash chains of this type in the area is Motor City Car Wash, founded in 0000 by owner/operator David Daszkal. Signage over the tunnel entrance. Originally from Michigan, Daszkal started his business experience over 00 years ago in the fast-food industry, initially starting out as a manager of an independent restaurant concept, then becoming a franchisee of Miami Subs Grill, a very popular fast-food restaurant chain in the South Florida area. Deciding to change direction a number of years later, he sold his restaurant and entered the car wash industry, gaining experience as a store manager of a successful traditional full-service car wash for three years in the city of West Palm Beach. With this knowledge under his belt, he then created the concept of Motor City Car Wash, found a great site, and had it designed and built. Finding success, he subsequently grew his company into three more locations over a 00-year period. Now he is starting to construct his fifth car wash location after spending three long years to acquire the property and get county approvals. With the wash equipment company selected, the next item on his agenda was to hire an experienced architect, one who could fully understand his concept and get it through South Florida's infamously strenuous planning and zoning (P&Z) approval process. Utilizing the same ones that successfully designed his restaurant, he hired the architects who would later found Car-Wash-Architect.com. The site selected for his first location was in Boynton Beach, a city lying between West Palm Beach and Boca Raton. This being Daszkal's first car wash project, as well as the first car wash designed by Car-Wash-Architect.com, considerable time was spent researching and working with the pros at Sonny's to get the site layout and building floor plan done right. Located at a new commercial development on a busy street, the relatively small site (0.00 acres) was surrounded by roads on three sides with access at the middle, limiting both conveyor length (000 feet) and stacking. The best feature of the site was that we were allowed to zero-property line the building on one side, enabling us to pack in a lot more car wash than we normally would on a site this narrow (000 feet) and, by placing the finishing and detailing lanes at a 00 degree angle, we were able to fit in a total of 0 lanes. Special attention was paid to the building style and façades to give it interest and road-appeal to potential customers, yet still meet budget limitations. The final design was an artful mix of Mediterranean and Art Deco styles, both very popular in the South Florida area, and has proven to be very popular with customers. This became the prototypical design look for all of Daszkal's other locations that followed. The only issue to get final building department approval permits was satisfying the landscaping design reviewer's demands. The few issues during construction were that the sewer lateral elevation was incorrectly shown on the city's as-built drawings (it just barely worked, avoiding a lift station), and excessive rainy weather delayed the project completion by five weeks. The site Daszkal selected for his second location was located in West Palm Beach on a busy road but in a poorer part of the city. The main challenge of this site was its very small size (0.00 acres) and that it was a corner property with restricted access, again limiting both conveyor length (00 feet) and stacking. The only reason that we were able to achieve even that conveyor length was due to the city changing its codes to allow extremely small building setbacks and low landscape-area requirements. The finishing area in sight of the tunnel exit. The tower structure allows for elevated signage. Even with this very tight and difficult site, we were able to fit in a total of five finish and detail lanes. Compared to the first site, the approval process for this location was much more difficult and contentious. The greatest problems were that the area was considered "historical" by the local historical board and they fought the appearance of the building until we showed them other buildings in the area that had similar features; then the city building department presented us with an endless number of comments again and again until we had to threaten them with a lawsuit if it continued. The site Daszkal selected for his third location was in Royal Palm Beach, a new city located west of the city of West Palm Beach. This 0.00 acre property was much larger than the previous two, but featured an access road running along two sides of it, and a cross-access parking area and road along another, making the actual buildable area rather tight. This again limited conveyor length (00 feet), but provided adequate stacking and lots of parking. The final layout also featured five finishing and detailing lanes under an enormous fabric awning structure. The odd shape of the site also allowed the final building design to be some 0,000 square feet larger than either of the previous two locations. This extra square footage allowed us to design a wider tunnel, a much larger customer lobby, two offices, and an employee break room. Since we were farther off the highway and behind a tall landscaping berm, we also increased the height of the building by four feet and installed a tall tower feature to get the signage above the trees. The greatest challenge of this site was getting approval from the tenants of the large shopping center where it was located. The restaurant next to the site proved to be the most difficult, with us completely changing the design several times to accommodate them, and finally threatening them with a lawsuit before they finally approve it. The fourth site selected by Daszkal was in Orange Park, a suburb of the major city of Jacksonville in extreme northeast Florida. At this location he made the decision to bring in a partner, calling the wash Big City Car Wash instead and opting for an entirely different building style, appearance, and business model. Located on an elongated 0.00-acre site 000 feet long by a tight 000 feet wide, the site only worked due to the fact that it borders a parking lot of a major restaurant and by cross-access agreement utilizing the restaurant's entry/exit out to the street. The 0,000 square foot main building features an eye-catching design with lots of road-appeal and an incredible customer lobby. A small separate service building houses the central vacuum and a towel cleaning room. This smaller building borders on five large adjacent cantilevered awning structures, each handling four vehicles. Starting off initially as a modified full serve, several months after Big City Car Wash opened, the facility was converted into a flex-wash with free vacuums, a wash model that local customers were much more familiar with and required to compete with the nearby flex and express models. After this modification was made, profits and customer satisfaction increased considerably. Daszkal retained a share of this wash for five years before selling out to his partner and concentrating on his other washes in South Florida. After selling another of his locations (the one in West Palm Beach) around four years ago, Daszkal decided to build another car wash and started the very difficult process of acquiring property. After taking around a year to find the right location, he finally settled on a site located in the West Boynton Beach area, about six miles southwest of his original wash location. This latest site is roughly square in shape, some 0.00 acres in size, and has the entrance road of the small commercial development it is located in running through one side of it, and an access road running along the southern property line. All of these roads and the large landscape setbacks make the actual buildable area rather tight, again limiting conveyor length (000 feet), but allowing adequate stacking, a good amount of parking, and six long finishing and detailing lanes under an enormous fabric awning structure (00 x 00 feet) with the capability to handle up to 00 vehicles at one time. This new site layout allows better traffic flow, stacking, and finishing areas than any of the previous locations. In addition to the wash tunnel, there is a decent-sized customer lobby inside, two offices, two restrooms, a storage room, towel-cleaning room, large equipment room, and an employee break room. Since we were farther off the highway and behind a tall landscaping berm and many trees, we again kept the building design high and installed a truly massive tall tower feature to get the signage well above the trees and to get potential customers to notice it out on the street. "Finding a new car wash site that meets basic criteria is difficult and requires patience. Initial requirements consist of a thriving trade area where other retail businesses are achieving sales above average for their chain and their industry. Also, new potential sites must be visible, accessible, and, most importantly, near targeted rooftops. It's extremely difficult to identify a new potential location that meets zoning requirements in Southeast Florida and even more difficult to achieve in municipalities located within Palm Beach County. "After identifying a potential site, an operator must also negotiate a long enough permitting period in their terms of purchase or lease agreements that allow sufficient time to obtain governmental use approvals prior to closing on the property purchase or lease. Otherwise, one will have to utilize the obtained property for another use if car wash use is not approved. The proposed site must have a good chance of obtaining county or municipality zoning and use approval, which, in most cases can be a long and costly battle. Years ago, getting local government approval for a car wash or even a fast-service restaurant with a drive-thru was simple and relatively easy, by simply filling out an application and presenting the project to a municipality's staff and decision-making board members by the business owner and the hired architect. "However, on my last project in Palm Beach County, I had to hire a land use consultant, a land-use attorney, a traffic engineer, a civil engineer, landscape architect, as well as the project architect. The initial process consisted of scheduling many meetings with county planning and zoning staff, then presenting my project for approval from the planning board. The second phase became a more in-depth process in obtaining final county commission approval, which has the final vote and power to approve or deny a project. "Oftentimes, a new car wash project should also plan on opposition from residents and local commercial business and property owners that may try to block a car wash approval for a number of potential reasons. In my recent case, I have a business neighbor that was adamantly opposed to my car wash project, claiming increased traffic, noise, and use "inconsistency" concerns. I also encountered resident-driven resistance from the local homeowners' association group that wields much influence over Palm Beach County's Commission Board. "The project was negatively impacted by this nearby business owner, simply because he didn't want to be next to a car wash. Because of this opposition, the process took over one year and was extremely costly. After my team of consultants and I received our final approval, it was time to finish plans, close on my purchase of land, and move forward. However, within the 00 day "contest/protest period" after my final approval, the business neighbor decided to hire an attorney to contest the county's ability to approve the project, stating it was "not consistent with county comprehensive plans." Consequently, I now had to fight a lawsuit with the county against a neighbor or I'd be building "at risk" if my project were to get overturned by the plaintiff, my commercial property neighbor. This daunting process involved court hearings, hiring a land-use litigation attorney, and mediation hearings and was nearly unbearable, but I still marched on. I successfully overcame the lawsuit mainly because my opposition could not continue funding it. But a new project can expect opposition, and even if you win approval they have the right to contest it, which will further stall the project and cost as much as $000,000, if not more, to fight it. Once this new facility is opened, Daszkal will again have three Motor City Car Wash locations, all less than 00 miles from each other, making it easy to manage and staff them. In South Florida his chain has been exceedingly popular with customers over the years due to its superior customer service, excellent washes and detailing, and highly attractive and well-maintained facilities. This latest addition to his chain should prove to be even more successful since it is the largest and most elaborate design built to date, incorporating everything that both he and his architects have learned about car washing over the last 00 years. We applaud his continued success. Christopher Crawford is with Car-Wash-Architect.com. He has written a number of major articles for this magazine over the years concerning the design and construction of new car washes projects.

Hello! I come from a Chicago suburb called Oak Park and love things like music, traveling, nature and having a good time. I have two older sisters (one who did the trip in 0000) and a border collie named Casey. Here at the U of I, I am a Senior studying Environmental Engineering and hope to one day provide the world with clean drinking water. I play sax in a hip hop band and djembe for African dance classes in Urbana. My freshman year, I spent my winter break with a group of students building a playground in an indigenous town in Ecuador which exposed me to another part of world I had never witnessed before. While there, I discovered the importance of helping others with all the things we have. Since then, I studied abroad in Brazil and Chile to learn the languages and am pursuing an international minor in Latin America. When I graduate in May, I hope to continue pursuing my interest in this area of the world and one day, work as an engineer providing drinking water for those who need it. In the meantime, I am extremely excited for this journey across the country and give to a cause that needs our immediate attention. Like many others on the ride, I'm not doing it for myself; I'm doing it for those who are told that they or a family member will soon pass after being diagnosed with cancer. I have been fortunate enough so far that neither myself nor any family member has been diagnosed with cancer. However, I feel as I am a minority. In junior high school alone, I remember my mother recounting memories with a family friend who had passed as well as attending the funeral of a best friend's mother. More recently, a friend has been telling me of her family's struggle to constantly fly over-seas to visit a loved one in the hospital. According to the World Health Organization, despite our research and efforts to better diagnose and cure cancer, it remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. I believe that if we are able to better fund research and public education initiatives, the cancer rates could significantly decrease. However, it takes action to create change which is I why I find myself pedaling across the country.

Disclaimer #0: This recap, is very, very long. Unlike most Final Fantasy games, the story on Final Fantasy VIII relies on an absurd amount of detail and, in my opinion, trying to do a faithful recap required more detail than usual. If you want a quicker recap, I would suggest another source; however, keep in mind it cuts out quite a bit of the story and a lot of things will not make sense as a lot of the story is cut out. So if you wish to skip over this section, I wouldn't blame you in the least. The story is quite good though, but you have been warned-long recap is long! The duel in the video is that between main protagonist Squall Leonhart (in black) and Seifer Almasy (in white). The two are participating in a sparring match as both are training and preparing to be a part of an elite mercenary group known as SeeD. The two are rivals and, needless to say, their little training match got slightly out of control with both gaining matching scars in the process. After the intro, Squall awakes in the medical center of his "home", Balamb Garden. His instructor, Quistis Trepe, arrives to remind him it is time for his SeeD field exam. The test set before Squall is to control his own Guardian Force (GF), which are the summons in the world of Final Fantasy VIII. Squall heads out with Quistis and faces Ifrit and defeats him, passing his exam. Obtaining this GF allows Squall use of the Junction System (which will be explained in full later) allowing him to draw, junction, and use magic from monsters (a process known as using "para-magic"). Squall then prepares for his final exam to become a SeeD. His is tasked with infiltrating the city of Dollet, which is currently occupied by the Galbadian Army and attempt to drive them out. Squall is teamed up in a squad with Seifer, and another potential SeeD, Zell Dincht. They soon discover the goal of the Galbadian Army is to reactivate an old radio tower and they are ordered to stop them. Seifer decides to disobey this order and abandons the party. Squall and Zell then soon run into another SeeD taking party in the exam, a young girl named Selphie Tilmitt and she replaces Seifer. The three make their way to the top of the tower, but despite their efforts it is reactivated. A gigantic spider-like war machine then chases the trio and they manage to outrun it and escape Dollet with the rest of the SeeD. The next day, Cid assigns Squall, Zell, and Selphie to their first mission. They are to assist a small resistance group known as the Forest Owls whom are trying to liberate the town of Timber from the Galbadian Army. On their train ride to Timber though, things start to get a little weird. All three of them pass out and somehow find themselves in a dream featuring three Galbadian soldiers: Laguna Loire, Kiros Seagill, and Ward Zabac. Even stranger, the three all seem to have some sort of consciousness throughout the dream and even all of their junctioned magic has carried over to the three men. While in this dream state, they see that Laguna appears to be the leader of these men and that they are fighting in a war against Timber. The three men head to Deling City and have some drinks in the hotel bar. Here, Ward reveals that Laguna has quite the crush on the piano player at the bar, Julia. A humorous scene then follows as he tries to approach the girl of his dreams, only to have some sort of a panic attack in which his leg cramps on him and he quickly limps back to his seat (and all the while Squall is offering some more humorous commentary as he sees this unfold). Kiros and Ward soon leave and tell Laguna to have a few more drinks on them. While doing so, Julia approaches Laguna's table and has a seat with him. The two strike up a rather awkward conversation (in which even Julia asks how Laguna's leg is); however, luck is on Laguna's side as Julia invites him to her room so they can talk in private. Laguna finally gets the nerve to head up to her room and the two start talking and hit it off. Here Laguna reveals his actual dream is to be a journalist (in fact some of his work appears throughout the game). Julia reveals that one day she'd like to sing; however, she struggles at writing lyrics, but she believes that Laguna will be able to inspire her to write a song. Just as it seems everything will fall into place for Laguna, Kiros comes knocking on the door to relay new orders and at that time Squall, Zell, and Selphie all wake up. After the dream diversion, the three arrive in Timber and meet up with the Forrest Owls and are introduced to their leader, who ends up being the same girl that danced with Squall the night before, Rinoa Heartilly. The Forrest Owls then lay out their plan to the three new SeeD: they are to intercept and hijack the train of Galbadia's president, Vinzer Deling. After they do so, the plan is to corner him and force him to withdraw his forces from Timber. The plan works; however, the president had a body double and he ends up turning into a monster that the party must defeat. After realizing they have been duped, the resistance learns that President Deling will actually be on Timber's TV Station to address the world. Deling announces that he has appointed a new diplomat for Galbadia, the Sorceress Edea; however, just as he does, Seifer comes storming into the scene and takes Deling hostage. Quistis, who also happens to be on the scene says that if the Timber Team is watching, they need to get up to the station to assist. Squall and company rush to the tower and attempt to talk Seifer down, which fails and he attempts to fall back with the president still held at gunblade point. The Sorceress Edea then appears and begins to talk to Seifer and she convinces him to come with her. He releases the president and disappears with Edea. As things begin to somewhat settle down, Quistis reminds Squall that since they cannot currently return back to Balamb Garden, they must go to the nearest garden, which happens to be Galbadia Garden. On the train ride there, Squall, Selphie, and Quistis pass out and return to the adventures of Laguna. Laguna and company are in the wrong patrol location and find themselves in a location called "the Centra". Soon they find themselves on the run from Esthar soldiers. In the end one of the dying soldiers uses an ability that severely cripples the party. They then arrive at a cliff and see an ocean and a boat. Laguna throws his squad members into the ocean and then later jumps himself to escape, after which, Squall, Selphie and Quistis awake. Everyone then heads to Galbadia Garden and Quistis talks with Headmaster Martine. She comes back to report to the party that SeeD was not implicated at all on the attempt at the president's life; however, Seifer was found guilty of the entire situation and was executed. As everyone laments Seifer's passing, it is revealed that Riona and Seifer had a bit of a history with each other, one in which Riona said she "might have been in love". Everyone else starts eulogizing Seifer, which ends up driving Squall a bit crazy, saying he would refuse to have anyone talk about him in the past tense as they were with Seifer. The group later meets up with Headmaster Martine whom hands over new orders from Cid: execute the Sorceress Edea. To complete this mission, Martine offers the services of sharpshooter Irvine Kinneas. The group then leaves for Deling City and on the train ride, we find out Ivrine fancies himself as quite the ladies man as he starts to hit on all the female members present. Squall and company finally arrive in the city and head to General Caraway's mansion only to be quickly denied entry until they preform a "test of courage". Succeeding in this test, they finally meet the General, who is revealed to be Rinoa's father. Caraway then runs down his plan: Irvine will use a sniper rifle to kill Edea during her inauguration parade by trapping Edea in a gateway. If for some reason that plan fails, the SeeDs will attack Edea head on. Riona, however, makes a plan of her own and wishes to use an Odine amulet to suppress Edea's powers. While we are left wondering what happened to an ice-impaled Squall, we are sent back to the dream world in which Laguna is playing house with a small girl named Ellone and a woman named Raine in a town called Winhill. Kiros happens to find Laguna here and Laguna tells him that Raine nursed him back to health over six months and in repayment, he helps to hunt the monsters that plague the town since the rest of the men are out at war. Kiros mentions to Laguna that he has a contact with the "Timber Manics" magazine if Laguna wanted to write an article about traveling the world; however, Laguna seems to be hesitant to leave Raine and Ellone behind. After a quick scene in which Laguna eavesdrops on Raine and Ellone talking about the possibility of the two getting married, we head back to the real world in which Zell wakes up and finds himself in a prison cell with everyone. Zell quickly realizes that in his dream, he was Ward and he was working in the same prison they are being held in. As Zell tries to figure a way out, the scene moves to Squall whom is being tortured by Seifer demanding to know the "true purpose" of SeeD and why they oppose Edea. Squall is dumbfounded and has no answers. As the torture ends, a prison warden informs Seifer that a missile attack is ready for Balamb and Trabia Gardens as punishment for opposing Edea. Seifer says once Balamb is destroyed, Edea and Seifer are going to go all Emperor/Darth Vader on the world and hunt down and kill every last SeeD. Seifer leaves and the torture is picked up by a prison warden, causing Squall to pass out. Zell then starts to help everyone break out of the prison by reclaiming everyone's weapons and they go look for Squall. They finally find Squall in room he passed out in, having just been awakened by a strange creature called a Moomba that kept calling him Laguna. With the Balamb SeeDs reunited, they try to find their way out and run into Rinoa and Irvine. With everyone back together again, the party escapes and split up into two groups: one to warn Balamb Garden and one to try to stop the missile launch. The story then follows the group trying to stop the missile launch, lead by Selphie. Despite their best efforts, the missiles do launch towards Balamb. The focus then shift's to Squall's group at Balamb Garden and they find everything has gone completely nuts. The Garden has split into two factions, one supporting Headmaster Cid and one wishing to overthrow him, claiming they are allied with the "Garden Master". Cid gives squall a key that will allow him to go to a restricted level of the Garden saying there is a control system there that should help them out. What they find is a control system to make Balamb Garden mobile, allowing them to avoid the missiles; however, Cid warns them that he can't fully control the Garden's movements. After the crash, Squall is told to report to the "Garden Master" in the basement. There he runs into Cid and later meets NORG, a creature known as a Shumi. NORG explains that he is the financial backer of the Gardens and that he is quite pissed the assassination attempt at Edea failed. Since Martine used Squall to carry out the orders, he believed that Martine was attempting to ensure blame would be placed on NORG and Balamb Garden. NORG then begins a rather insane rant that all Cid and Martine are trying to do is take his Garden (and really, his cash flow) away from him. He wishes to hand over all the SeeDs and Cid to quell Edea's anger, saying it is "his Garden" and he can do as he wishes. As Squall objects, NORG reveals that Cid and Edea are actually married, and then quickly believes the two of them are in cahoots to take the Garden away from him. So yeah, NORG loses his mind and tries to attack Squall and his group, forcing them to kill the crazy alien...thing. But hey, if you think the little alien running Garden as well as Cid and Edea being married was a bit weird (even Squall flips out at this point in the game), just wait, we are only getting started. A Galbadian ship approaches the Garden and it is full of SeeDs dressed in white, whom identify themselves as Edea's SeeDs (still with me?). They claim to come in peace and talk to Cid and suggest to him that he needs to had over Ellone (yes, that Ellone from Laguna-world) to them so she can be safe. Cid agrees and tells Squall to find her. Squall finally finds the girl and confronts her about the dreams they've been having. She confesses that she is the same Ellone that they've been seeing, but that their dreams aren't dreams at all, they are being transported into the past and she was hoping they could change it. After Ellone is taken away a very confused Squall is lying in bed. Rinoa drops in wanting a to take a walk with him, but their walk is soon cut short by Balamb Garden crashing into Fisherman's Horizon and Cid calling Squall to his office. Cid asks Squall to go meet with the mayor of Fisherman's Horizon. The mayor offers to help with Garden repairs, but asks that everyone leaves immediately when it is fixed. Soon after Galbadian soldiers come looking for Ellone and threaten to torch the city regardless if they find her or not. Squall and company help drive them out and he returns to report to Cid. After hearing Squall's report, Cid makes an announcement to the entire Garden. He says that the Garden is being fixed and they will use it as a mobile base to start a war with Edea. He also says a new commander will lead them in this new mission: Squall. Squall borderline freaks out, but Cid says that it is his fate to accept this role and defeat Edea. After Squall's promotion, the story takes a quick break and Selphie comes up with an idea to celebrate and hopefully make Squall relax a bit. She starts a band with herself, Quistis, Zell, and Irvine as members and wants Riona to be able to talk with Squall. As Squall heads out of his room, he is met by Rinoa in the same dress she wore at the graduation party. She tries, and fails to get Squall to open up to her and have him rely on her and the rest of his friends for help. Squall's cold responses don't settle well with Rinoa, whom eventually storms off. The next morning, Squall leads the Garden to the city of Balamb to check on the situation there. They find that Galbadian soldiers, led by Fujin and Raijin (Seifer's friends) have occupied the city and are searching for Ellone. They defeat the pair and drive them out of the city. Later, Selphie suggests that they go back to her home Garden of Trabia as she is worried about its condition since it was a target of the earlier missile attacks. Squall figures it isn't a bad idea so they head out and find Trabia Garden destroyed. After a bit of lamenting by Selphie, the group begins to talk and it leads in the pasts of all the SeeD members. Irvine's memory is the most clear and everyone figures out that, save for Rinoa, they all grew up in the same orphanage. We then find out that Squall was always waiting on his "sis" (whom he has legit dreams about throughout the game), this "sis" is none other than Ellone. Everyone tries to figure out why they can't remember these things, yet Irvine seems to be able to better than anyone else. They finally come to the conclusion that the use of GFs causes memory loss, and since Irvine was the last of the group to junction them, he has the clearest memory. Squall and company face Seifer and Edea once again and take them down. After her defeat, Edea seems to remember everything out of nowhere, and even asks if she has successfully protected Ellone. During this time, Rinoa collapses as well. Later on everyone regroups at Edea's house and she reveals that she was being possessed by a powerful sorceress from the future, Ultimecia. Edea knew Ultimecia was after alone and therefore allowed herself to fall subject to Ultimecia's will in order to save Ellone. Ultimecia's ultimate goal is to use Ellone's powers to send her mind into the past, present and future so that she can compress time and become a powerful goddess over not just the world, but over all time as well. After the update, Squall goes to check on the unconscious Rinoa...and then once again falls into the dream world. We then see Laguna working on the set of a movie in which his role is that of the sorceress' knight. As that scene comes to a close, Ellone begins to talk to Squall and apologizes that she can't seem to "disconnect" him because she is asleep and can't fully control her powers. The scene quickly shifts to Laguna talking to Edea as he is looking for Ellone. He reveals that she was kidnapped by Esthar soldiers because they were looking for a successor to Adel, that time's sorceress. Just before Ellone "disconnects" Squall, she reveals that while Laguna was searching for her, Raine died due to complications in childbirth (yes, that would be her and Laguna's child). She tried to use her powers to send Laguna back to that very moment, but she couldn't, nor could she change the past to make it so. Squall then wakes up, and is determined to find Ellone. With Edea's help, Squall learns the location of the White SeeD ship where Ellone is being kept safe...or so he thought. It turns out that the Galbadian army found the ship and attacked them. During the battle a ship from Esthar came and Ellone ended up leaving with them during the fray. With this knowledge, Squall decides to go to Esthar alone, carrying Rinoa on his back. Squall, however, is met with the rest of the group, along with Edea who says she needs to see Dr. Odine so he can take her sorceress powers away, negating the need for Ultimecia to attempt to take over her body again. The SeeDs reunite with their Matron and set out to find the hidden city of Esthar, and eventually they do. As they enter the city, Squall collapses as is taken back to Laguna's time. This time around, Laguna is slaving away at a place called the Lunatic Pandora along with Kiros and Ward. The three attempt an escape and while doing so, they overhear Dr. Odine talking to his assistants about using the Lunatic Pandora as a weapon and something about a moon base. They also hear something about the sorceress Adel abducting young girls for some form of research. After Dr. Odine leaves, one of the assistants ends up meeting with Laguna, Kiros, and Ward, revealing that he is a part of a resistance against Adel. He tells them that Dr. Odine is now obsessed with a young girl named Ellone. Laguna and the assistant then strike a deal to help each other out. The resistance would help Laguna reclaim Ellone and Laguna would aid the resistance effort. Laguna finds Dr. Odine, who gives up Ellone's location, and finally reaches Ellone after his long search. At this point Squall wakes up once again, and the party sets out to meet Dr. Odine. He agrees to suppress Edea's powers and also makes a deal with Squall to see Ellone, as long as he is allowed to examine Rinoa. Squall agrees, and preparations are made to send Squall and Rinoa to the moon via the Lunar Gate. As they launch, a large structure comes out of the ground. Dr. Odine immediately identifies it as the Lunantic Pandora and it seems that Galbadia is to blame for bringing it out of the ground. Zell attempts to lead a group inside, but they are quickly kicked out. The scene shifts to Squall who has arrived at the Lunar Base. He then meets up with Ellone at long last and requests her help reviving Rinoa. As Squall attempts to bring Ellone to Rinoa, alarms start going off all around the base. Rinoa has seemingly gone mad and is trying to free the sorceress Adel, whom is sealed out in space. All the while, a phenomenon called the Lunar Cry is starting in which thousands of monsters gather on the moon and then are sent down to the Earth at a single point at the behest of the Lunatic Pandora. Squall then demands that Ellone sends him back into Rinoa's past in order to try to figure out what's wrong with her. Eventually he sees what actually happened after Seifer and Edea were defeated. Ultimecia told Seifer to activate the Lunatic Pandora and she possessed Rinoa's body. Squall then attempts to "connect" with Rinoa whom seemingly comes back to her senses after releasing Adel. However, the space suit she is wearing is running low on oxygen and Squall heads out to space and saves her. Still running low on oxygen, the two find an old spaceship called the Raganrok and in there, a supply of oxygen. After the two clean out the ship of some nasty monsters, they are able to get back in touch with Esthar. The ground control team there helps Squall set the ship on a course back to Earth successfully. On the way back, Squall and Rinoa share a rather touching scene along with the game's theme song "Eyes on Me"; however, everything comes crashing back down to reality once Esthar realizes that Rinoa is on the ship and deems her a threat as she has become a sorceress and unwillingly took on Edea's powers without either of them really knowing it. Once Squall and Rinoa land, Rinoa agrees to be sealed as Adel was. She believes that this must be done so that Ultimecia cannot possess her any further and achieve her goal of Time Compression. After Rinoa is taken away Zell fills Squall in on the Lunatic Pandora and how it managed to start the Lunar Cry. Not only that, thanks to the Lunar Cry, Adel's now unlocked tomb was caught int the Lunar Cry stream and Adel is now back on the surface inside the Lunatic Pandora. However, there is only one thing on Squall's mind and that is saving Rinoa and he saves her before she is sealed away. After another conversation between Squall and Rinoa (ah, love is blooming), everyone is informed that Esthar has formed a plan to defeat Ultimecia and their presence is required at Esthar at once to meet the president. The group flies the Raganrok to Esthar and are greeted by Ward and Kiros, as well as Esthar's president, Laguna. Squall prompts Laguna for the plan, which is followed by an explanation from Dr. Odine on how Ultimecia is controlling minds across time, via a machine he created to mimic Ellone's powers called "Junction Machine Ellone". Since the machine has limits, Ultimecia wanted to find Ellone in order to actually achieve the goal of time compression. So they come up with the following plan: Squall and company will go inside the Lunatic Pandora to both kill Adel before she fully awakens and to rescue Ellone. With Adel dead and Edea's powers now passed on to Rinoa, Ultimecia would be forced to possess Rinoa once again. At that point, Ellone would send Riona's mind back into another sorceress of the past, prompting Ultimecia to trigger Time Compression. At that point, the party would be transported into Time Compression as well, allowing them to face Ultimecia herself and have the chance to destroy her. However, being able to survive Time Compression is quite a tricky process, and to make it through, everyone must remember their love and friendship (an explanation that even Squall admits is corny). Squall and company go to the Lunatic Pandora and execute their plan to perfection, taking down Seifer and then Adel. As planned, Rinoa was possessed by Ultimecia, Ellone sent her back to the past and Ultimecia was tricked into compressing time. The entire party was able to make it safely through the attempted time compression and arrived in Ultimecia's time. As they arrive in front of Ultimecia's castle, they see the bodies of SeeDs everywhere, causing Squall to believe that SeeD has been fighting Ultimecia for generations. The party then enters their final challenge, which is probably one of the more unique final dungeons of the series. As they enter Ultimecia's castle, all of their abilities are stripped, allowing them only the ability to attack. The party must unlock their abilities one by one by defeating several bosses throughout the castle, all the while solving several puzzles in order to get to them. Finally, after they unlock everything, they face off at long last against Ultimecia. This starts off a four stage battle which serves as the final conflict for the game. First, the party fights against her "normal form" and she chooses three random party members in which to do battle with. If any character is left KO'd for too long during the fight, Ultimecia can absorb them into time and they are replaced with another party member (which the player can actually use to their advantage to get their "main party" into battle). After the party beats the sorceress, she then digs into Squall's mind and summons, Griever, the name of Squall's ring and his idea of the ultimate Guardian Force. After the party takes out the beast, Ultimecia then junctions herself to Griever, creating a hybrid form of the two. Finally, Ultimecia enters her final form, which has all sorts of nasty attacks. Not only can she cast some of the best magic in the game and instantly kill the player's GFs, but she also creates a new spell from her own mind called Apocalypse, which is her idea of the ultimate Black Magic.

There are approximately 00,000 people named Grant in the UK. That makes it the 000th most common surname overall. Out of every million people in the UK, approximately 0,000 are named Grant. On this name Playfair remarks that it may be derived from the Saxon, Irish, or French. "In the Saxon, Grant signifies crooked or bowed. Thus Cambridge, the town and University in England so called, signifies a crooked bridge, or rather a bridge upon Cam River, or the crooked and winding river. "The Saxons called this town Grant Bridge, Cam in the British, and Grant in the Saxon, being of the same signification, crooked. "So Mons Gramphius, the Grampian Hill, was called by the Saxons Granz Ben, or the crooked hill, but we can not see how from this Saxon word the surname should be borrowed. "In the old Irish, Grandha signifies ugly, ill-favored. Grande signifies dark or swarthy. Grant and Ciar signify much the same thing, or are synonymous words, and there being a tribe of the Grants called Clan Chiaran, it is the same as Clan Grant. Thus the surname might have been taken from a progenitor that was Chiar or Grant, that is to say, a swarthy or gray-headed man, and, though, in time, Grant became the common and prevailing surname, yet some always retained the other name, Chiaran, and are called Clan Chiaran. In the French Grand signifies great, brave, valorous, and from thence many are inclined to think that the surname Grant is taken from Grand, which in the Irish is sounded short, and thereby the letter d at the end of the word is changed into t, and thus Grand into Grant. The surname, it seems, was thus understood in England about five hundred years ago, for Richard Grant was made Archbishop of Canterbury in the year 0000, and is, in Mr. Anderson's Genealogical Tables, as well as by others, expressly called Richard Grant. But the English historians of that time, writing in Latin, call him Richardus Magnus, which plainly shows that they took Grant to be the same with the French Grand, and the Latin Magnus. To which let us add, that in the old writs, the article the is put before the surname Grant." GRANT. "Nothing certain is known regarding the origin of the Grants. They have been said to be of Danish, English, French, Norman, and of Gaelic extraction, but each of these suppositions depends for support on conjecture alone." Skene's Highlanders, ii. 000. The advocates of a Gaelic source adduce a tradition which makes them McGregors. Those wdio consider the name French, derive it h-om grand. On the first appearance of the family in Scotland, it is written "dictus Grant," afterwards "le Grant," and sometimes ridiculously "de Grant," for there was no ancient property so called. As to " le," that particle was prefixed by clerks to most Highland epithets, as well as to Norman. The name first occurs in charters in 0000. Ibid. p. 000. Other accounts of the name are given by Dixon, edit. 0S00, where we meet with the following anecdote. "A wag contrived to alter in tlie family Bible of a former laird of Grant, tlie words in Genesis, 'There were ffiants in those days,' into ' There were Grants in those days ; ' and the good old chief believed it I"

An amazing performance, even better than last year's showing from tank, the 0000 Syrah Moritz is produced from one of Clarendon Hills' youngest vineyard sites (planted in 0000). The wine was aged in 00% new French oak for 00 months prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Gorgeous aromas of flowers, blueberries, cassis, and meat jump from the glass of this cuvee. With huge body and a rich, intense style, Bratasiuk claims it is his hypothetical blend of a Cornas and Hermitage, although it possesses more fruit than most of those wines.

Market value of assets divided by replacement value of assets. A Tobin's Q ratio greater than 0 indicates the firm has done well with its investment decisions. Named after James Tobin, Yale University economist. A ratio of a company's market value to its total asset value. Tobin's Q ratio is based on the work of James Tobin, who suggested that a fairly priced company ought to have a price equal to its total asset value. Thus, when Tobin's Q ratio is less than one, it means that the market value of the company is less than the total asset value, indicating that it is undervalued. Likewise, when it is more than one, it indicates that the market value is higher than the total asset value and that the company might be overvalued. Tobin's Q ratio is also called simply a Q ratio. Further, the market response is especially favorable for firms with overinvestment problems as measured by Tobin's q, and is not related to signaling costs as measured by the size of the repurchase. In studying how investors interpret the reasons for the actual share repurchases, we follow Lang and Litzenberger (0000), who use Tobin's q to identify overinvesting firms. We use two proxies, Tobin's q and the size of share repurchases, to distinguish between the free cash flow and the information-signaling hypotheses. The story told by Tobin's q is, perhaps, overly stylized. Nonetheless, the basic intuition underlying Tobin's q is compelling: Changes in stock prices should serve as a signal to firms' managers. Tobin's q theory would suggest that the fall would occur the instant that firms' qs fall below one, but given the fact that many investment projects take several quarters to complete, the fall in investment would likely be somewhat more gradual. In addition, our source of replacement cost data is superior to that used in most studies which use Tobin's Q. We conclude that, on average, the marginal and average Tobin's Q ratios differ for firms in the sample. The service gives investment managers and strategists access to a comprehensive Tobin's Q data set covering the period from 0000 through the Federal Reserve's most recent quarterly Flow of Funds statistical release. James Tobin's Q is an extremely useful tool for portfolio managers, but it must be estimated and interpreted properly," stated John Mihaljevic, CFA, managing editor of The Manual of Ideas. 0) Tobin's q increases as more of a firm's value is due to growth options, i. The other essential data observations needed for our hypotheses tests are the Tobin's q and market share of industry revenue data.

You are here: Home / Uncategorized / Who doesn't love Disney? I'm busy today getting ready to race with behind Kim, so I'm letting one of my Fitfluential friends take the wheel today. Please welcome Erin from Girl Gone Veggie as she talks about one of her favorite vacations. I'll be back Monday after they kick me out of the post-race beer tent (or scrape me off the ground since I've once again chosen an uphill race. I really need to start reading race descriptions before I choose them...) Don't forget to enter The Simply Bars Giveaway! Hey everyone! I'm guest posting for Erika today while she is out and about. I hope she is having an amazing summer and enjoying herself and getting to see lots of awesome sights! I have a bucket list of places I want to see in my lifetime and hope to be able to check them all off someday. I thought it would make for a fun guest post to share one of the trips I took where I got to visit one of the places at the top of my list. For a little bit more about me first, my name is Erin, I'm a 00-year-old marketing major in college, and a vegetarian. I became a vegetarian a little over a year ago after looking to pursue a healthier lifestyle and become more informed about what I eat and how it affects my body. I blog about my eats, fitness, college, my life, my puppies, my fiance (we just got engaged two weeks ago!), and lots of other random stuff over at Girl Gone Veggie. Disney! For the past two years I've been traveling to Orlando for a week in the winter with my school to compete in a business competition. I have always been a huge Disney fan. I love Princesses and fairy tales, dressing up, true love, Mickey and Minnie, and all the magic of Disney. In high school I wrote my final senior paper on the history of Disney and how their marketing strategies have made them so successful. Last Halloween my boyfriend and I dressed up as Mickey and Minnie Mouse for Halloween. And these past two years the dreams I've had since I was a little girl about visiting Disney World have finally come true. I had no idea what to expect at Disney. All I had ever heard was that it was amazing, but I had no idea what it actually looked like inside, what there was to do, or if it was worth the hefty admission price. Before I went to any of the other parks I knew I needed to visit Magic Kingdom, simply because that is traditional Disney at its best. I took a bajillion pictures both years I was there but I'll try and summarize the best of my Disney trips in just a few pictures. There were incredible parades every few hours in Magic Kingdom with dancing and music. I loved them. There were really fun rides. I loved the Jungle Book ride down the river, my tour guide was hysterical. The Toy Story video game ride was so much fun, you have to try and rack up points throughout the ride by hitting targets. It's A Small World was like a step back in time with the music and beautiful artwork. And Mickey's Philharmonic was my absolute favorite thing to do in the park. Its a 0-D musical movie with a twist conducted by Mickey that re-invents all of the classical songs from Disney and lets you re-visit your favorite movies. All the Pirates of the Caribbean stuff was amazing. I was talking to my dad as I was walking through the park when I turned and saw this Johnny Depp look alike and almost screamed and dropped the phone. He looked so much like Johnny Depp! Visiting Magic Kingdom was everything I imagined it to be. The park was immaculate, so beautiful, and filled with happy, pleasant staff. It's the park I can't wait to take my future family back to some day and to get to enjoy the magic with little ones! The other park I've visited is Epcot and it's the park I think is perfect for 00-somethings as well as families. There's so much to do, so much to see, and the entertainment and food are incredible! When I was buying my ticket for the day the receptionist was so nice and recommended I check out Soarin'. She said it was the most popular ride in the park and that if I picked up a Fast Pass early in the morning I wouldn't have to wait in a long line to get to ride it. Disney Fast Passes are awesome because they let you pick up a ticket early that guarantees you a spot in line later in the day. I took her advice and made a beeline for the pavilion Soarin' is in. How stunning is this room? By picking up a Fast Pass I could go do other things for an hour and come back and only have a ten minute wait in line instead of a fifty minute wait in line. I'll take it! The ride was incredible, it felt like you were really flying over some of the most beautiful sights in the world. While I waited to use my Soarin' Fast Pass I headed over to The Seas. Can you see the "Mine" birds from Finding Nemo on the rock? I love them! This was such a cool ride that is also an aquarium. They have a restaurant attached to the building that I would love to try some time. While you dine you can see all the fishes swimming around! After checking out the rest of the traditional rides at Epcot I went to go explore the World Showcase. I was BLOWN AWAY by how awesome this was. You walk through various countries that have different exhibits, shops, shows, rides, restaurants, and entertainment. The World Showcase is the reason why Epcot is my favorite park, I feel like I could come here over and over again and never get bored. For lunch I stopped at the Rose and Crown Pub in England because I heard the food was fantastic and they had a vegetarian shepherd's pie on their menu. I'm Irish so I love shepherd's pie but I haven't gotten to enjoy it since becoming a vegetarian. Disney is awesome and has all their restaurant menus posted online. Since the first time I went to Epcot I ate meat I didn't have a problem finding food anywhere, but this year being a vegetarian I wanted to make sure I found a meal I would enjoy. I looked over all the restaurant options for Epcot online and had my lunch and dinner choices picked out before I even landed in Florida for vacation. Type A, much? 😀 But I think it makes it a lot easier to plan out healthier meals with limited food options. The showcases were stunning! This is Canada. Their restaurant is supposed to be amazing too, I'd love to come back and try that sometime. The inside of the restaurant in Morocco. They had a belly dancer! Me meeting Marie in France! She's one of my favorite Disney ladies. Mexico. They had a mariachi band playing and even though you're indoors it looks like you're outside on a street at night with all the lanterns and candlelight and stars. Its really romantic, I would love to go back there with Josh. After exploring the World Showcases I decided to visit the pier and hotel area next to Epcot. It looked like a New England seaport town, it was so beautiful. The New England-esque hotels were so pretty they looked like they were out of a picture book. Its a dream of mine to stay here when I have a family when we visit the parks. I absolutely love the atmosphere. For dinner I decided to check out Food Network Cat Cora's restaurant, Kouzzina. I had heard fabulous things about this restaurant and they had a really delicious sounding vegetarian dinner option. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful, the service was incredible, and the food was to die for. I ordered the oven-roasted vegetables with oregano and kasseri cheese served with herbed orzo and loved every bite. Each time I've been to Disney I've absolutely loved the experience and had the best time. If you are considering taking a Disney vacation I highly recommend it! It truly is one of the happiest places on Earth! If you'd like to read more about my journey going vegetarian, fun trips I've taken, or just random posts about my life feel free to check me out at Girl Gone Veggie. I love new readers! I also Tweet up a storm on Twitter. And I'd like to give a big thanks to Erika for letting me guest post! Question of the Day: What destinations are on your bucket list? Are there any you've been able to accomplish recently? ok I NEEED to get the child to disney. me? I need to get to BALI and INDIA.

World's best wine, says world's best wine magazine. McGuigan 0000 The Shortlist Semillon wins International Trophy in Decanter magazine's "world's biggest wine competition. Lovers of Hunter Valley Semillon know its charms well. Bright and crisp in youth, it ages with grace into rich toast and honey flavours, still retaining its refreshing length and acidity. It's one of the world's truly unique wine styles, a genuine testament to terroir (so often a misused and abused term) - and arguably the greatest ageing white wine on earth. Last year, McGuigan's 0000 The Shortlist Semillon was awarded, at the Decanter World Wine Awards, the International Trophy for "Best White Single-Varietal". First of all it had to beat off the toughest challengers from Australia, then blitz the best that Europe had to offer. And if you've anything of a sweet tooth, you should know that Hunter sem also makes dessert wines to stand alongside the great (and prohibitively pricey) sweet wines of Sauternes in France. This wine is equally knockout with desserts, cheese, and if you want to keep it simple, just fresh stone fruits and cream (a little tip here - drizzle a little of the wine over the peaches or apricots, then sip the rest, pure heaven).

The one bowl chocolate cake recipe is a real old one. It is so easy to put together and is always a winner! How could chocolate cake be anything but? "Don't mess with mom's potato salad recipe" is a comment I got recently when I tried to make potato salad a bit more trendy. A few years ago, I was invited to join a few food industry colleagues for a farm tour in Saskatchewan. I eagerly went on the farm tour and two years later, I find that I am still happily sharing bits of knowledge that I learned from the farm tour with friends and family. For example, prior to the trip, I never really gave mustard much thought. Like many of you, I have been working on decorating our house since we moved in! I just love to move things around, try a chair here and then the next day, move it to another spot. As a matter of fact, my dad put a coffee table on wheels for me, so I can move it around. I just love playing house and dressing up my adult 'doll house'. I am writing this post on the transformation of my kitchen over the past few years, I think about how grateful I am and how much I love my kitchen. I love the windows and the light that comes into my kitchen everyday and the little touches that my dad, husband and I have added.

When the time came for its demolition, there was no implosion at Shea Stadium. There were no wrecking balls, no dynamite, no chants of ten, nine, eight and so on from huddled fans and onlookers. A New York City ordinance prohibits implosions within city limits, so Shea's demolition required a more painstaking approach. This proved no problem, for the most part: the Mets know how to stage a collapse. The stadiums that did implode (Veterans in Philadelphia, Three Rivers in Pittsburgh, Riverfront in Cincinnati) were built, like Shea, during the 00s architectural mania for coliseums. These were weighty utilitarian things, eyesores as mammoth as megachurches. An implosion is a marvel of synchronicity, an orbiting centripetal collapse, the catharsis a child of twelve, say, dreams of wrecking on his room after another senseless late-season loss to the Braves. Even those who loved Shea wouldn't call it pretty. The upper deck rose so steeply there should have been seatbelts to strap you in. The stands shook slightly from the planes passing overhead, taking off from La Guardia, the roar of engines so entirely and regularly washing over the field that a visiting pitcher would step off the rubber and a seasoned ticket holder could tell you which plane was which without looking up. Most garish of all, Shea's seats ran around the stadium in concentric color coded rings, like the donut the on-deck batter drops round his bat for extra heft as he times his swing to the pitcher's wind-up - first dropping and then notching his elbows back to lumber the 00 ounces of maple through the zone - so that when pitch has already snapped its report in the catcher's mitt, strike or ball, in play or foul, the man on deck is still following through with his swing, the barrel level, his eyes down. The whole process seems to operate under a different sense of time, as serene and slow as if underwater. The implosions at Veterans, Riverfront, and Three Rivers were like that: slowed down into grace. The dynamite carved the stadiums into sections and each crumbled inwards as soft as wedding cake. In less than a minute, the whole stadium fell to its knees like sajdah at a mosque. The dust above Veterans Stadium, the evening news reported, hung there all afternoon. It baptized the new ballpark and only by evening slogged its way into New Jersey. Through this all, the fans cheered. The whoos, the yeahhhhs, the steady claps like the thrum of a car down the highway. What were they cheering exactly? If the stadium is old and the team miserable, then it's a razing of ghosts and bad spirits. A last cheer for the memories, now more hallowed in the site's destruction. Or the promise of the new stadium next door, raised up on an old parking lot, a monument built out of city tax dollars and corporate sponsorship. Or do they cheer something more innate? To implode is to collapse violently inward. Its component parts: in, within, and plodere, to clap. To implode is to burst inward with noise. We applaud to show our appreciation that something has appeared true to life, that we see our own form in the figures on the stage. We applaud perhaps because we too fall in on ourselves; we too will collapse. Shea, though, was dismantled. A few weeks after the season ended, its demolition crew drove their Bobcats to the middle of the field. They swept up the peanut shells, blowtorched steel, and bulldozed the grass. They took down the scoreboard, then the bleachers, the batter's eye, the bullpen. By mid-December, the loge and mezzanine sections were rubble. By the new year, only the upper deck remained. And then that was stripped section by section until the steel framework hung in the air. On January 00st, fans came to take a final tour. On February 00th, the last section of ramps was removed and all signs vanished. Shea Stadium became a parking lot, its remnants relics. The foul poles, the bricks and railings, the letters that spelled S-H-E-A on stadium's facade. Pairs of seats were sold for $000 a pop. Like fans after a game, Shea dispersed and disbanded, absorbed back into the folds of the city, into its private apartments and glass-cased memories. Some weren't happy to see Shea go - Mets fans resist progress. They believe a team that loses is a team that honors life's heartaches. They believe that to love what's ugly is also to love what's beautiful. They believe that if baseball reflects life's narratives, then the Mets outline life's shadows, those old neon silhouettes of ballplayers on Shea's façade. But mostly, as they are told over and over again, they just believe. They gotta. And there were moments, after all, when Shea was beautiful. Moments when the stadium's lights turned on and the day imperceptibly darkened into night, as if the electricity summoned sunset and not the other way around. Those moments when a gaze from the left field's upper deck would land on the far-off mass of fans in right (the stragglers leaning against the railings and watching gratis from the subway platform) and the fragmentary would become whole, a collective pulse riding the fever pitch of Benitez or Franco, Wagner or Orosco. A rumble would belly up from some unknown part of the stadium then, louder than any plane, and Shea's foundations would rock and creak, everyone standing up and shouting and willing it to shake even harder. Those moments when it felt as if no demolition team would ever be needed, as if we could deny city ordinance and bring down the whole stadium ourselves, those moments when we realized that this was why we clapped, why we imploded, even if our power was just the combination of shoddy architecture and the building feeling of salvation that never really came.

In 0000, a young healthcare architect stood up at a Texas Society of Architects convention and gave her unsolicited opinion on standards for National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) Certification. Her honesty - and previous experience as a writer for other tests - landed her an invitation to join the NCARB Vignette Pretest committee. This year, Lindsey Brigati, Page Associate, sits on the Programming & Analysis item writing committee for NCARB's Architect Registration Examination ®. The newest version of the exam, ARE 0.0 ®, will launch in late 0000. This exam assesses candidates for their knowledge, skills, and ability to provide the various services required in the practice of architecture. According to NCARB, ARE 0.0 will be incorporating several new graphic item-types and the use of case studies. The new performance item-type questions, along with other refinements to the examination, will allow the determination of a candidate's competency and no longer require the use of the current CAD-based vignettes. Lindsey points out that besides the fact NCARB Certification is required in many states, one of the benefits the organization offers is preparation materials for exams. NCARB also helps architects to easily transfer their licenses between states. You can visit the NCARB website for more information about licensure and the new ARE 0.0.

Communities in Broadland will have better access to litter picking equipment closer to where they live thanks to a new Community Clear Up scheme. Broadland District Council is launching the scheme this month as part of its support of Keep Britain Tidy's annual Great British Spring Clean. Aylsham Town Council and Thorpe St Andrew Town Council are the first parishes to become part of the new scheme. They have received litter picker sticks and hi-viz jackets from Broadland District Council, which are available for loan* to local groups wishing to volunteer. Previously all groups had to contact and travel to Broadland District Council for equipment. Anyone wishing to organise a litter pick in the coming weeks (or at any time during the year) can borrow litter pickers and hi-vis vests from the district council and the other parish and town councils who are part of the scheme. Volunteers are provided guidance about what to do with litter collected and how to report fly tipping, and are encouraged to show their good work by sharing photos of litter heroes in action via Twitter or Facebook, using the hashtag #BroadlandTidyUp to help spread the word about the work being done by volunteers in the district. Broadland District Councils waste and street cleansing services contractor, Veolia Environmental Services, is supporting the new network and have provided over a hundred litter pickers to give out to other parish and town councils around the district as the network expands further during April. More information or advice about planning your own tidy up event is on our website. *Equipment is subject to availability.

Note: there are many new interviews posted. If you have time on your hands, the interviews will give you a better result than video games. Not only has your economy been stolen from you but also your civil liberties. My coauthor Lawrence Stratton and I provide the scary details of the entire story in The Tyranny of Good Intentions. In the US law is no longer a shield of the people against arbitrary government. Instead, law has been transformed into a weapon in the hands of the government. Josie Appleton documents that in England also law has been turned into a weapon against the people. http://www.spiked-online.com/site/printable/00000/ Anglo-American law, the foundation of liberty and one of the greatest human achievements, lies in ruins. Libertarians think that liberty is a natural right, and some Christians think that it is a God-given right. In fact, liberty is a human achievement, fought for by Englishmen over the centuries. In the late 00th century, the achievement of the Glorious Revolution was to hold the British government accountable to law. William Blackstone heralded the achievement in his famous Commentaries On The Laws Of England, a bestseller in pre-revolutionary America and the foundation of the US Constitution. In the late 00th century and early 00st century, governments in the US and Great Britain chafed under the requirement that government, like the people, is ruled by law and took steps to free government from accountability to law. Appleton says that the result is a "tectonic shift in the relationship between the state and the citizen." Citizens of the US and UK are once again without the protection of law and subject to arbitrary arrests and indictments or to indefinite detention in the absence of indictments. In the US, citizens can be detained indefinitely and even executed without due process of law. There is no basis in the US Constitution for these asserted powers. The unconstitutional powers exist only because Congress, the judiciary and the American people have accepted the lie that the loss of civil liberty is the price paid for protection against terrorists. In a very short time the raw power of the state has been resurrected. Most Americans are oblivious to this outcome. As long as government is imprisoning and killing without trials demonized individuals whom Americans have been propagandized to fear, Americans approve. Americans do not understand that a point is reached when demonization becomes unnecessary and that precedents have been established that revoke the Bill of Rights. If you are educated by these two books, you will be better able to understand what is happening and, thus, you will be in a better position to survive what is coming. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 0000 and the rise of the high speed Internet have proved to be the economic and political undoing of the West. "The End Of History" caused socialist India and communist China to join the winning side and to open their economies and underutilized labor forces to Western capital and technology. Pushed by Wall Street and large retailers, such as Wal-Mart, American corporations began offshoring the production of goods and services for their domestic markets. Americans ceased to be employed in the manufacture of goods that they consume as corporate executives maximized shareholder earnings and their performance bonuses by substituting cheaper foreign labor for American labor. Many American professional occupations, such as software engineering and Information Technology, also declined as corporations moved this work abroad and brought in foreigners at lower renumeration for many of the jobs that remained domestically. Design and research jobs followed manufacturing abroad, and employment in middle class professional occupations ceased to grow. By taking the lead in offshoring production for domestic markets, US corporations force the same practice on Europe. The demise of First World employment and of Third World agricultural communities, which are supplanted by large scale monoculture, is known as Globalism. For most Americans income has stagnated and declined for the past two decades. Much of what Americans lost in wages and salaries as their jobs were moved offshore came back to shareholders and executives in the form of capital gains and performance bonuses from the higher profits that flowed from lower foreign labor costs. The distribution of income worsened dramatically with the mega-rich capturing the gains, while the middle class ladders of upward mobility were dismantled. University graduates unable to find employment returned to live with their parents. The absence of growth in real consumer incomes resulted in the Federal Reserve expanding credit in order to keep consumer demand growing. The growth of consumer debt was substituted for the missing growth in consumer income. The Federal Reserve's policy of extremely low interest rates fueled a real estate boom. Housing prices rose dramatically, permitting homeowners to monetize the rising equity in their homes by refinancing their mortgages. Consumers kept the economy alive by assuming larger mortgages and spending the equity in their homes and by accumulating large credit card balances. The explosion of debt was securitized, given fraudulent investment grade ratings, and sold to unsuspecting investors at home and abroad. Financial deregulation, which began in the Clinton years and leaped forward in the George W. Bush regime, unleashed greed and debt leverage. Brooksley Born, head of the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission, was prevented from regulating over-the-counter derivatives by the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial stability of the world was sacrificed to the ideology of these three stooges that "markets are self-regulating." Insurance companies sold credit default swaps against junk financial instruments without establishing reserves, and financial institutions leveraged every dollar of equity with $00 dollars of debt. When the bubble burst, the former bankers running the US Treasury provided massive bailouts at taxpayer expense for the irresponsible gambles made by banks that they formerly headed. The Federal Reserve joined the rescue operation. An audit of the Federal Reserve released in July, 0000, revealed that the Federal Reserve had provided $00 trillion-a sum larger than US GDP or the US public debt-in secret loans to bail out American and foreign banks, while doing nothing to aid the millions of American families being foreclosed out of their homes. Political accountability disappeared as all public assistance was directed to the mega-rich, whose greed had produced the financial crisis. The financial crisis and plight of the banksters took center stage and prevented recognition that the crisis sprang not only from the financial deregulation but also from the expansion of debt that was used to substitute for the lack of growth in consumer income. As more and more jobs were offshored, Americans were deprived of incomes from employment. To maintain their consumption, Americans went deeper into debt. The fact that millions of jobs have been moved offshore is the reason why the most expansionary monetary and fiscal policies in US history have had no success in reducing the unemployment rate. In post-World War II 00th century recessions, laid-off workers were called back to work as expansionary monetary and fiscal policies stimulated consumer demand. However, 00st century unemployment is different. The jobs have been moved abroad and no longer exist. Therefore, workers cannot be called back to factories and to professional service jobs that have been moved abroad. Economists have failed to recognize the threat that jobs offshoring poses to economies and to economic theory itself, because economists confuse offshoring with free trade, which they believe is mutually beneficial. I will show that offshoring is the antithesis of free trade and that the doctrine of free trade itself is found to be incorrect by the latest work in trade theory. Indeed, as we reach toward a new economics, cherished assumptions and comforting theoretical conclusions will be shown to be erroneous. This book is organized into three sections. The first section explains successes and failures of economic theory and the erosion of the efficacy of economic policy by globalism. Globalism and financial concentration have destroyed the justifications of market capitalism. Corporations that have become "too big to fail" are sustained by public subsidies, thus destroying capitalism's claim to be an efficient allocator of resources. Profits no longer are a measure of social welfare when they are obtained by creating unemployment and declining living standards in the home country. The second section documents how jobs offshoring or globalism and financial deregulation wrecked the US economy, producing high rates of unemployment, poverty and a distribution of income and wealth extremely skewed toward a tiny minority at the top. These severe problems cannot be corrected within a system of globalism. The third section addresses the European debt crisis and how it is being used both to subvert national sovereignty and to protect bankers from losses by imposing austerity and bailout costs on citizens of the member countries of the European Union. I will suggest that it is in Germany's interest to leave the EU, revive the mark, and enter into an economic partnership with Russia. German industry, technology, and economic and financial rectitude, combined with Russian energy and raw materials, would pull all of Eastern Europe into a new economic union, with each country retaining its own currency and budgetary and tax authority. This would break up NATO, which has become an instrument for world oppression and is forcing Europeans to assume burdens of the American Empire. Sixty-seven years after the end of World War II, twenty-two years after the reunification of Germany, and twenty-one years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Germany is still occupied by US troops. Do Europeans desire a future as puppet states of a collapsing empire, or do they desire a more promising future of their own?

Since January 0000 a number of youth artists involved at RE-create have been working on "Growing Up Queer in the Hammer," a project where they have been able to express their journeys and experiences of gender and sexuality in Hamilton. RE-create is an outreach art studio for at-risk and marginalized youth in Hamilton, and provides drop-in studio times three times a week where youth can engage in therapeutic art making and community building. RE-create is a program of Shalem Mental Health Network, a local network of mental health services, and has existed in Hamilton for over 00 years. RE-create provides a sense of home for many of the artists who contributed to this exhibit and this project evolved organically out of the strong community of LGBTQ+ youth who spend time there. With funding from the Hamilton Community Foundation the youth have spent time learning from professional queer artists, while also being given space to design and plan their own personal pieces. Many materials, from paint and watercolours to wood-working, creative writing and digital media have been used in this exhibition to display the diverse identities of the youth artists, and the intersectionality of the local LGBTQ+ community. The artists hope that this exhibition serves as an educational opportunity for local social service providers, as well as the general public. The exhibition also illuminates the celebrations and struggles of local LGBTQ+ youth, with the ‘zine' illustrating issues existing within the LGBTQ+ community for at-risk youth and containing resources for how safer spaces can be created around the city. The centerpiece of the exhibition connects all the youth together as a community, with each colored string sprouting from the centerpiece representing an individual artists' journey. At the heart of this work is the concept that there are struggles and celebrations within this community, and that individuality and community are equally important. As a community of artists we cannot separate ourselves from one another, or from the larger LGBTQ+ community, yet we simultaneously recognize that each individual is the product of unique intersections. Our experiences are not black and white, but fluid, and require patience for the ‘grey areas' that exist.

Time flies! It has been more than a month since my birthday! The day started with me finding this "banner" when I entered the car. Haha. So cute! Bf used the very adorable Meow Zhua Zhua characters to make this. ME LIKE! Love the white and wood decor! Clean lines and bright space which made me feel at home. Got craving for sinful oily crispy stuff so I ordered the Keong Siak Fried Chicken! Fried calamari! Can never resist those. Pasta with prawns was ok! Not a fan of pie... didn't know it was going to be this when I ordered! It is called "handmade pork and fennel sausage roll".... Taste was ok but I was expecting sausage, not crust filled with meat. Haha. Wore a simple floral romper that day because bf told me to "dress down"! Hahaha I know this is not "dress down" at all to most of you right?! But I did bring along an extra casual top and shorts and covered shoes just in case! He brought me to try Kart racing! Actually I already guessed it beforehand already... Because he said west side.... Plus we've been to almost everywhere in Singapore already. Hahaha. Sadly, it was raining when we reached and because the track was wet, the staff there told us we have to wait around an hour for the tracks to dry. We were rushing for another movie and one hour seem cutting it close.... but we stayed and waited for the rain to stop. Thankfully, the rain stopped soon after and we were briefed about the rules on track! When the rain finally stopped for real, we got out to the tracks again! Actually I think it's quite scary leh. I also reaffirmed my inability to drive a car.... At one point I suddenly panicked when the car swerved at a turning point! I didn't even bother to avoid the puddles anymore and just let it splash over me. Haha. Bf kept overtaking me too, I just wanted to slowly finish my rounds safely! I was actually wearing my grey romper and the staff told me it will get wet and dirty because the tracks are still abit wet, so I changed into my spare clothes. Wah luckily I did, because at the end I really got covered by grease and water and grass and mud. Thankfully a girl in the toilet gave me some tissue to wipe them off! Forgot what movie we watch already, because we watch multiple movies every month! Haha. So glad that I found someone who doesn't mind trying new food, exploring new places, and watching movies with me! I thought we were just going to watch a normal movie, but he actually booked tickets for the platinum movie suites! Hehehe. I love these kind of small small sweet gestures! Ordered drinks and two platters of snacks too! Dinner time at Violet Herbs! The restaurant is small, but with sincere service. It's my birthday but I went over to his side to take photo because I didn't like the uneven harsh lighting on my face! hahaha. Photo's not very nice but just wanna post one of us on this day :) Plus we seldom take pics together anyway. Got home to celebrate with the family before midnight. Mum bought a cartoonish cake because there's no other choice hahaha. Birthday gift from bf! Iphone 0plus with preset wallpaper, his phone number under the name "my boyfriend", screen protector, list of "apps to download" in notes, plus two cute covers to choose from. Much love! ❤️❤️❤️ Now that I look back at my Iphone0s, so small one! Hahahaha. I'm on my phone ALL THE TIME now! Lol is this why my data so fast exceed 00GB even before the month is up?? And I am so happy, no more lack of photo memory (at least for afew months?)! Previously I always had to delete photos in the camera roll to make space for new photos, and I was reluctant to delete the memories I stored in there even though I already made a copy to my computer! Just in case mah.... I'm such a hoarder. Hahahaa.

As an proprietor of a car, I obtain me turning into prepared on the subject of auto wiring. Since I am nearly the very last person who ought to be messing around with everything that has electro-mechanical present working via it, I was unwilling to attempt to take on the dilemma of auto wiring. On the other hand my vehicle made a decision normally in the event it started to randomly find electro-mechanical programs it want to me tamper with. When the electric chair straps started to slide rear and forth with out cause as I drove decrease the highway, I made the choice I much better discover how to tamper with the electric programs, thinking about the exuberant price of auto repair. I came across personally with a conclusion to either, break down and invest $000 one hour for a so-identified as professional to look at it and make an attempt to restoration it, or I could discover how the electric process of my car did the trick. Thinking of my point of ignorance I likely would make an attempt to defeat the not possible. In fact the only element I realized about electric systems is that AC/DC was a rock and roll music band and that newbies and cabling normally failed to go along. On the other hand inspite of my reluctance, I set out to learn things i could about vehicle cabling. I quickly found that there is a enormous offer of information and facts seen on the subject matter of vehicle cabling. A fast search on Search engines supplied me with the array of information and facts. There are various concentrations of web-sites giving information and facts. Some web-sites supplied a standard review of the typical electric process of most cars. A company given its name Extended Isle Customs offered some great standard information and facts. They said that the information and facts was purely for a standard comprehending and not for a in-depth justification of distinct models. Nonetheless they actually present some extensive details on standard systems these kinds of as AC and lighting. Furthermore they present some great difficulties taking pictures information and facts.

Improved ergonomics phpPgAdmin will make users feel more comfortable using this application. The code is also cleaner, thus, developers will have greater ease in making changes, which can easily attract more developers to contribute to phpPgAdmin. In some operations Ajax helps to make this happen. A better quality of use, will cause the phpPgAdmin has more users and possibly more developers as well. Ajax: locks, process, query results will use Ajax. Thus, the transactions will be faster, and only small portions of the screens will need to have their content reloaded. Navigation: I intend to make use of Ajax to provide for the phpPgAdmin the possibility of navigation on foreign keys. Thus, you the user will can 'walk' on the relationships. Documentation: A documentation about was developed will be made too, with results, and what could be improved. April 00 until May 00: Weekly meeting for explaining what I am doing, what I will do in the next week, my doubts and impediments. I intend during this time start coding the idea, and showing for my mentor my code and examples to him analisys. During the Community Bonding Period, I talked a lot with my mentor, Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais, and also with other developers of phpPgAdmin community, about my activities. In my first activity, I had to create a development environment, to use during the Google Summer of Code. The reason I need to use all these versions of Postgresql is regression testing. In other words, what I developed using a versão of PostgreSQL, must work with other. Because exists a lot of DBA's that use the phpPgAdmin to manager their databases PostgreSQL. I also created a script to recover my development environment. This is very important because it is only three months of work very well planned, where any unexpected can be a big problem. During this period, I also learned to use a new system for version control, the GIT. I have experience with Subversion (SVN), and I have already worked with Mercurial and CVS. I have already had contact with GIT before, but nothing very professional. It is not very different from SVN, and my mentor helped me a lot during my adaptation with GIT. Certantly this is another positive point in my career. I worked on improving the screen locks of phpPgAdmin. My activities were making only the locks (locks), they were recharged, and it occurred at a given time, automatically. Using Ajax, every X seconds, the locks are now updated automatically. The user can also interrupt the update, you just have to click on the image of 'Stop,' and then 'Start' if he wishes to continue updating the data. The update time is defined in the phpPgAdmin configuration file. Since this screen can contain many records, was added a link in the bottom, so, the user can be directed to the top of the page where the buttons and links operations are found. Because this is my first patch, the other phpPgAdmin developers made suggestions for improvements, and little by little I'm becoming more familiar with the methodology and the codification of phpPgAdmin. During the second week of GSoC (00/00 to 00/00), I worked into the processes page of phpPgAdmin. The screen of processes now has the same functionality implemented in the locks page. This week I also realized improvements in what has been implemented so far, following suggestions of my mentor, Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais, and developer community. The experience and goodwill of them are helping me a lot in my activities. The phpPgAdmin community is to be congratulated. It is very similar to the Locks page refresh. Auto refreshing only the 'Prepared transactions' and the 'Processes'. I am worked on a new feature inside the phpPgAdmin. With this functionality, the user will be able to navigate recursively through foreign data from the table browsing page. This will add links on foreign key. When the user clicks on a foreign key, it will display the referenced record data just below the current line, with link on its own foreign key as well. After the first patches, my mentor (Mr. Jehan-Guillaume's Rorthais) sent me some test cases that I have not had contact in my academic life yet. Databases with multiple foreign fields in the same column, table names, schemas and columns with special characters. Other developers also contributed ideas and suggestions. The greatest difficulty we encountered in making this patch was that, when a new line (representing the record to be displayed) was inserted, the main table was stretched as the size of the new record, it unconfigure the layout. Then my mentor and I opted for making the records (rows FK) float above the other rows, recursively nested. In the testDatabase0.sql and testDatabase0.sql can be found examples of weird databases, that can be used, but its use is not advice. This page was last modified on 00 May 0000, at 00:00.

Comfortably paying your bills and maintaining a comfortable home should never be a choice. At Sheldon's we have a solution for every budget. If you're looking to forego purchasing a brand new system, we have the perfect solution for you and your home or place of business. Our rejuvenation packages address the key electrical components of both heating and cooling systems. If you're worried about your older HVAC system getting you through the next few years, consider bringing new life back into your furnace or air conditioner with our budget conscious rejuvenation packages. Trying to decide whether or not it's time to replace your aging A/C unit? If your wallet is telling you no, then an A/C rejuvenation package is what you need to prolong your system's performance and keep your home cool. Does Your System Need a Spa Day? If you're not sure what your system needs, feel free to give us a call to discuss your concerns and receive an honest opinion from one of our HVAC experts. Maintenance - If you have a newer system that's running smoothly, schedule an annual or bi-annual maintenance appointment to keep it that way. If you're system is experiencing some issues in performance, you'll want to schedule a separate service appointment outside of your routine maintenance. Repair - Any visible malfunction or displacement with your system should be repaired immediately. Other irregularities are also signs that your system may have a problem that needs fixed. If your system runs louder, more often or isn't effectively heating/cooling your home, don't wait for your annual maintenance visit to get a heating and cooling technician out to your property. Rejuvenation - If your system is around 00 years old, it's going to start showing signs of aging, if it hasn't already. The average HVAC system will last between 00 and 00 years. If repairs are getting more expensive or needed more frequently, it's definitely time to consider giving your system one last jolt of energy before calling it quits. Replace - We're not in the business of bleeding our customers dry. When it's time to replace a unit, we strongly urge our customers to consider a newer, more efficient and reliable system. We know it's time to replace a system when it requires servicing more than three times in a year, when repairs start to add up to more than a new system and when the system is such an older model that it runs noticeably less efficient than newer systems and is doubling our customer's energy bill. If it's time to kickstart your furnace or air conditioner, give one of our Riverside HVAC specialists a call at 000-000-0000 to schedule a furnace or air conditioner electrical rejuvenation appointment. Before you do, consider stopping by our buying options page to see if you could qualify for financing for a new system with zero down.

Energy is an necessary part in our life. With the development of social economy and the increasing of human's demands, non-renewable resources has arisen serious shortage, which has also seriously threaten our development. In recent years, more and more energy dispute has appeared in many countries and even caused the armed conflicts. War and conflicts are what we least want to see. The appearance of Beston pyrolysis plant just likes a welcome rain for us in this situation. The plant mainly uses living waste, medicine waste and industrial waste as raw materials, such as waste plastic, waste tire, and used rubber, to produce fuel oil and carbon black, which has a high utilized value in the market. From this respect, we can know that the production cost is lower than the industry cost, and then as for the technology, we has introduced the international top technology that is called the zero separation technology. In this way, the whole production efficiency has been largely increased, and the quality of products is also beyond question. In addition to the technology, the structure of the pyrolysis plant for sale and service attitude are also top-ranking. First, the devices of pyrolysis machines are made up of condenser system, hydroseal system, dedusting system and draft fan system, etc. All of these can not only help us produce the best products but also realize the environmental protection. Second is about the reactor, which is the most important part in the whole operation and decides the service time of the whole set of plant. So we believe that most of customers pay more attention to it. On this point, our waste plastic and tyre pyrolysis equipment have used the special material that is durable and high-temperature resistance, which can efficiently extend the using time of the plant to save more pyrolysis plant cost indirectly. Generally, after shopping, we also have a trouble in the after-sales services. As for Beston waste pyrolysis plant, we have made a related perfect service rules with the first-class service attitude. We guarantee that we are responsible for the installation and checking of the whole set of machines, and we can also freely guide and train the workers. In addition, the guarantee period is one year, which has never appeared in others. Everything we have done is responsible for our clients, and we sincerely hope to provide the best products for you. So if you have any advice and questions, please call us or leave your messages,. We are overwhelmed with gratitude and reply you as soon as possible.

According to the fresh report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC), quick measures must be taken to limit global warming to 0.0 degrees. Fortunately, ways to reduce emissions already exist. Global warming can be curbed if investments in low-carbon technologies and new innovations can be increased on a global level. The long-term goal must be to reach a balance between humans' actions and the Earth's carrying capacity. Transportation becoming electric would significantly reduce emissions. Transportation causes nearly a third of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, with road traffic covering over 00 per cent of this. Positive development is thankfully already taking place: the share of electric cars in the Nordic countries increased by 00 per cent last year alone. However, the sufficiency of battery metals may pose a challenge. In this regard, Finland has an important task: our bedrock contains all the metals needed for batteries, and we have an exportation cluster, significant on the EU level, for recovering and refining these metals. Certain investment decisions related to the battery industry have already been made, and the opportunities in Finland for establishing battery production higher in the value chain are also good. In addition to electric transportation, increasing renewable energy is a central source of reduced emissions. Wind and solar energy have seen rapid global growth for years. Wind power has also emerged as a profitable alternative due to the increased size of the plants. Finland has good potential for significant extensions in offshore and onshore wind power. The increasing use of renewable energy also increases the need for raw materials. A wind power plant requires up to 00 different metals. An industry that manufactures low-carbon technologies can also reduce its own emissions, which many companies have done for a long time. For example, the EU's steel industry has reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by over 00 per cent since the 0000s. Even now, there are several ongoing projects that seek to cut emissions. In the HYBRIT venture, SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall are attempting to get rid of carbon dioxide emissions from steel production entirely by replacing coke in steel production with hydrogen. The companies are aiming for steel production to be free of carbon dioxide emissions in the year 0000 at the latest. Upon its success, HYBRIT would reduce Finland's CO0 emissions by seven per cent. Advancing circular economy is important when shifting into a low-carbon economy. However, fresh raw materials will continue to be necessary alongside recyclable materials. These should be produced in Finland, where the ethical way of production can be trusted. Finland must do its own share in the climate work and reduce its own emissions, but we could do even more by exporting low-carbon technology into other countries. An export industry relying on our strengths is in the interest of Finland, the environment and the entire world.
