Microsoft originally introduced desktop gadgets in Windows Vista operating system and continued supporting them in Windows 7 operating system. As the release of Windows 8 final version is coming near, there were reports that indicate that Microsoft will remove desktop gadgets from Windows 8 operating system. Microsoft has confirmed that it will deprecate Gadgets and Sidebar in Windows 8. Now, it seems Microsoft has a good reason for removing desktop gadgets from Windows 8.
Along with this month’s Patch Tuesday, a security advisory is released for Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating system. The security advisory is about vulnerabilities in desktop gadgets that could allow Remote Code Execution.
As you must have noticed from the official statement, desktop gadgets pose a serious security threat. A vulnerability in Windows Sidebar could allow malicious desktop gadgets to execute arbitrary code. As if this was not enough, third-party desktop gadgets installed from untrusted sources can access your computer’s files and may harm it. The only safe solution is to disable gadgets and Windows Sidebar.
Microsoft has made it easy to secure your Windows Vista and Windows 7 computer system from the threat posed by Windows Sidebar and desktop gadgets. You also don’t need to change any registry entries or do any hacks using the Group Policy Editor. To disable gadgets and Windows Sidebar completely, simply download the Fix-It solution that addresses the issue.
You will find two Fix-It Solutions available there. Microsoft Fix it 50906 will disable gadgets and Windows Sidebar in the supported operating systems. Microsoft Fix it 50907 on the other hand will enable the features again. When you run the Fix-It solution, it will automatically create a system restore point. Then it proceeds to enable or disable gadgets and the sidebar on the supported system.
Administrators and users are advised to use the Fix-It solution provided by Microsoft to disable gadgets and the sidebar, to protect their computer system.
you have the actions of the fix-its backwards…..50907 enables the fix-it process to disable the gadgets, while 50906 disables the fix-it process and actually enables the gadgets. | 2019-04-18T15:14:40Z | null | 467.9 | 2,203 | null | 0 | []

Unless you’re a housework fanatic, you probably find sweeping and washing floors quite a tedious and time-consuming task. It’s been quite a few years since the launch of the first robotic vacuum, which was known to be quite rudimentary. However, With today’s rapid advancements in smart tech, it was only a matter of time before manufacturers came up with automated smart floor cleaners that could be a genuine asset.
Today, there are lots of companies that manufacture smart floor cleaners, but, despite all the advancements, there are only a few that can be trusted. One of those trusted companies is iRobot, which, to date, is the most famous and highest-rated manufacturer of smart floor cleaners.
iRobot has released lots of robotic vacuums. For the purposes of this article, we’ll be comparing two of the most popular floor cleaners that can automate the sweeping and washing of your floors, iRobot Braava 380t and iRobot Scooba 450.
We’ll create some detailed charts, directly compare these floor cleaners, evaluate their strong and weak parts and talk about their unique features.
Before we start comparing Scooba 450 and Braava 380t, I’d like to say a few words. When it comes to floor washing, iRobot can offer several models that can do the job for you. These models are Scooba 230, 390, 450, Braava 320 and 380t.
Purchasing a floor cleaning robot is a good investment that can eliminate some unpleasant household chores.
So it’s vital to thoroughly analyse Scooba 450 and Braava 380t to determine if these smart floor cleaners are good and deserve the praise they’re getting.
Right now, we’ll start comparing the most important aspects of these floor cleaners, and before we conclude our comparison article, we’ll come up with a reasonable verdict and crown one of these robotic vacuums as the best one.
The first thing we need to discuss is how to set up our floor cleaners. Since we’re paying a substantial amount of cash for these robotic vacuums, it’s kinda interesting to know how the setup process goes and if we can complete it without any professional assistance.
The Scooba 450 measures 3.6 inches high and 14.4 inches in diameter, which is a size that can get to the harder-to-reach spots in your home.
I won’t waste your time on talking about how to set up Scooba 450 since it’s pretty basic. To be honest, it’s impossible to mess up in this process because setting up Scooba 450 consists of three simple steps.
That’s everything you need to know about the setup process of Scooba 450. Plus, Scooba 450’s package includes an excellent start manual, should you need it.
If somehow you get lost in the process, take a look at the user’s manual or reach out to the support team and explain what issues you’re having.
Braava 380t measures 9.6 by 8.5 by 3.1 inches (WDH) and weighs 4 pounds. Like Scooba 450, Braava is rather easy to set up. It’s one of the most comfortable iRobots to activate, and the only the thing you’re required to understand is a few key buttons on the floor cleaner.
These buttons are power, mop, and sweep. Pretty easy, right? Before activating your Braava 380t, it’s essential to give it a full charge. To find out whether your floor cleaner requires charging or not, look for the blue light on the power button. If you can’t see it, it hasn’t completed the charging.
The actual setup is simple, and you’ll have your fully functional Braava 380t in a minute or two. I’ve talked to a lot of people who own this model and read numerous reviews, and NONE of them mentioned that they had issues with setting up their Braava models.
iRobot has worked hard to ensure their floor cleaners have essential features – and they’ve also put a lot of work into making them beautiful and compelling.
So why not make a smart floor cleaner that works great and looks gorgeous? Well, fortunately, both Scooba 450 and Braava 380t look good, and we can’t call either of them ugly.
Scooba 450 is a well-made, beautifully engineered product that compels people’s attention. Scooba 450’s design is something a lot of buyers talk about, and most of them like to compliment the smart floor cleaner’s looks.
All I can say is that the Scooba 450 looks great and as soon as you touch it, you’ll fall in love with it.
Besides being visually attractive, it’s vital for a robotic vacuum to have the right dimensions. If it’s too big or small, Scooba 450 will have trouble cleaning the hard-to-reach spots of your house. Luckily, the dimensions of Scooba 450 (14.4 x 14.4 x 3.6 inches) are pretty good, and it weighs 14.7 pounds.
I can speak from experience that Scooba 450 will have zero trouble cleaning spots under your bed, TV stands, sofa and furniture in general.
Braava 380t is also a beautiful floor cleaner that surely deserves the same amount of praise as the Scooba 450 is getting.
To begin with, Braava 380t looks nearly identical to Braava 320. It’s quite hard to spot the difference between these two models.
Braava 380t comes in shiny black and has some matte black plastic along the sides. As we mentioned above, Braava 380t has three main buttons for activation and navigation.
Comparing Braava 380t to Scooba 450 regarding design is a bit hard because it’s tough to say which of them looks better.
In short, both of these smart floor cleaners look great, so which one is preferable design-wise will probably come down to personal taste.
As for the dimensions of Braava 380t, they’re pretty spot-on too, being 380 is 9.6 x 8.5 x 3.1 inches, with a weight of 8.8 pounds. Compared to Scooba 450, Braava 380t moves better – Scooba’s extra weight can make a robotic vacuum less flexible and moveable, which could possibly impact the efficacy of the cleaning.
The performance capabilities of Braava and Scooba is the crucial aspect of our comparison article because we have to discuss what could be a deal-breaker: the performance rates of our floor cleaners.
We need to know the capabilities of these smart floor cleaners to make the right decision and ensure we don’t end up with a product that doesn’t meet our needs and standards.
The most important thing is that Scooba 450 works on REAL floors, as opposed to just relying on what the company claims it can do.
In most cases, Scooba 450 perfectly does its job, and it’s a real rarity when Scooba 450 underperforms. The AI of Scooba 450 is pretty good, and it does a perfect job when it comes to cleaning small rooms. It follows a disciplined process, and if the place you want to clean is a perfect square, Scooba 450 will do a flawless job.
As for the actual cleaning, Scooba 450 does an incredible job, and I was amazed when it finished cleaning. The amount of dirt that came out of the tank was genuinely unexpected. I couldn’t have imagined that a floor-cleaning robot was capable of so much.
Scooba 450 uses the new three-cycle cleaning, and as the company, iRobot, stated, it makes the process three times more efficient. Another great thing you should know is that lots of publishers have agreed and confirmed that Scooba 450 destroys 99.3 percent of bacteria.
Braava 380t is a perfect floor cleaner too. It can mop and sweep, and undoubtedly, Braava 380t does both of them flawlessly.
All you need to do is press the start button, and Braava 380t will start either mopping or sweeping. As with the Scooba 450, I was surprised that Braava 380t had a tank full of dirt, and I assure you, my family always keeps the home clean. I mean, clean.
One drawback of Braava 380t is that it only works on flat surfaces. In other words, it works with tiled or hardwood floor. Forget about using Braava 380t for your rugs and carpets. The floor cleaner just hates and always avoids them.
What I like the most about Braava 380t is that it’s so silent. Quite often I forgot that Braava 380t was running and cleaning my place. So that’s a huge plus. You can even use your floor cleaner when your baby or another family member is asleep.
Another drawback of Braava 380t is that it can’t vacuum. On top of this, Braava 380t pays the same amount of attention to each area it cleans so some places that are dirtier than others might require human resources.
Overall, the performance of Braava 380t doesn’t fall short of the Scooba 450, and it surely delivers a satisfying cleaning experience.
That’s pretty much everything about the features. We’ve listed the main things these floor cleaners can do, and as the chart indicates, Scooba 450 and Braava 380t have similar features.
It’s quite hard to define one of them as an actual winner since both of these robotic vacuums have decent, unique and functional features. So it’ll be wiser to say that the features of Braava 380t and Scooba 450 are on the same level.
It’s essential to know the cleaning capabilities of Scooba 450 and Braava 380t in some detail since it’s the most critical aspect for buyers when deciding which robotic vacuum to purchase.
So there were several tests conducted, and we’ve analysed both of these smart floor cleaners in different situations. To find out how well they performed, make sure to read the results below.
The first thing I’d like to mention is that Scooba 450’s battery is a bit weak and you only have about 40 minutes of work until it returns for a full recharge. But don’t freak out, Scooba 450 works pretty fast, and I’ve had cases when it finished cleaning without requiring a single recharge.
Here’s the first test Scooba 450 had to take and, as you see, it handled it pretty well. In this picture, Scooba 450 cleans marinara sauce spilt on a hardwood floor.
This task was pretty easy for Scooba 450 because it did a perfect job cleaning it; on completion of the task, there weren’t any stains visible. In this round, I’ll give Scooba 450 5 points out of 5.
In the second round, Scooba 450 had to reach corners and take out as much dirt as possible. Unlike the first test, Scooba 450 had trouble completing this task and it partially even failed.
If you take a look at the picture posted below, it’s visible that Scooba 450 had trouble reaching corners and taking the dirt out.
It is a bit disappointing, but if we remind ourselves how other floor cleaners perform and how much dirt they also leave in corners, it won’t be a surprise if we still give Scooba 450 four points out of five.
At the beginning of our article, we mentioned that there might be some manual work required to finish the job. Well, that turned out to be the case, and some human back-up was required!
In the last round, Scooba 450 had to clean dirt ingrained in tiles (including the grouting). That’s a tricky task since even people, with all their faculties, find it hard to clean tiles! Imagine how hard it is for a robot vacuum.
No, I’m not preparing you for the worst. On the contrary, Scooba 450 did an excellent job and almost made the tiles 100% clean. The small parts that were left dirty are minimal. Take a look at the picture. The floor’s well-cleaned and Scooba 450 deserves credit for a job well done.
Judging from what we’ve written above, Scooba 450’s cleaning capabilities are satisfactory. It delivers quite sharp results and can meet the high expectations and hopes people have.
Braava 380t is a more light-equipped floor cleaner that isn’t that powerful but can cover more ground. Let’s see the results of the tests. It’s pretty interesting!
In the first round, Braava 380t had to clean an oily hardwood. To find out how Braava 380t handled the job, take a look at the picture below.
It’s a bit depressing that Braava 380 couldn’t remove the oil from the surface. It made a small difference, but we’ve seen better. It’s true that cleaning oily floors is a tough task, though, so let’s not go too harsh on this robotic vacuum.
In the second round, Braava 380t was up against mud. Unlike the first round, Braava didn’t disappoint us and did a perfect job cleaning it off a vinyl flooring. Check out the picture posted below to have a better understanding of Braava 380t’s role.
I’m delighted with this round because Braava did a perfect job. That’s one of the best cleaning rounds I’ve seen. It was flawless.
I’m giving Braava 380t 5 points out of 5. Let’s move to the next, last, round.
Like Scooba 450, Braava is against the deadliest tiles that are hard to clean. While Braava 380t wasn’t able to deliver perfect results, it did clean the tiles pretty well. Some stains are slightly visible, but just a bit of manual cleaning will make the results perfect.
If we compare the cleaning capabilities of Scooba 450 and Braava 380t, I’d say that the 380t model upper-hands its competitor.
The next topic we should write about is the advantages and disadvantages of Scooba 450 and Braava 380t. It’s important to know the pros and cons of these floor cleaners to be sure that we’re purchasing a robotic vacuum that can meet our expectations.
Before we conclude our article and choose one of these floor cleaners as the winner, let’s compare some of the most important aspects of our robotic vacuums and find our how they differ, what they have in common and if there’s anything unique about these models.
All iRobots have a warranty, and if anything happens to your floor cleaning in that fixed period, you’ll get a free replacement. On top of this, the battery has its warranty that lasts for six months.
To conclude our comparison article, I’ll say that Braava 380t is the obvious winner here. It has better features, works better, it’s smarter and looks lovely.
Braava 380t has better cleaning abilities, it had better results in tests and is one of the highest rated floor cleaners on Amazon. Also, Braava 380t has a lot of satisfied customers, and only a few have badmouthed this fantastic product.
Keep in mind that Braava 380t isn’t as powerful as Scooba 450, but it lasts longer (i.e. between recharges). Braava 380t can be an excellent choice for bigger houses where there’s a lot to clean on a regular basis.
One of the coolest and time-saving things you can do with Braava 380t is leaving it to work at night. It’s silent, and the noise won’t wake you up. But you can’t schedule Braava like other floor cleaners (i.e schedule it to activate and deactivate on its own).
So it might be a bit problematic since automating the cleaning process isn’t just physical. It also involves getting rid of the mental process. You need to get the job done without even thinking about it.
Both Scooba 450 and Braava 380t are top-notch floor cleaners. These products have among the highest ratings on Amazon, they sell pretty well, and you’ll rarely find an unsatisfied customer. In short, if you want to buy a floor cleaner that’ll come in handy, you should choose between these two.
Lastly, if you want to own a robotic vacuum that can help you clean around your house, purchasing the Braava 380t is a wonderful decision. It’s cost-effective, powerful, smart, reliable and long-lasting. Today, Braava 380t is one of the biggest successes of iRobot. It’s a best-selling smart floor cleaner with amazing and unique features.
How efficient do these robotic sweepers pick up sand? We live in Florida. Thanks.
Hey! The Braava 380t is more effective at picking up sand. But it has its own issues since sand is the worst enemy of robotic vacuums.
If you can afford, we recommend getting either Roomba 960 and 980. Those two are the most effective against the sand.

"For the past six years our single surviving embryo has been in stasis."
In a few days a big part of our lives will be no more. For the past six years our single surviving embryo has been in stasis; frozen in time. Here, but not here. The promise and whisper of another precious life, yes, but also its spectre.
The paperwork we can no longer ignore tells us that on Thursday, 10 October, its time will be up. And my husband and I must face the final hurdle of our infertility. Letting go.
My head says, yes. My heart’s lost its voice (plaintive bleating aside). Here’s why: this embryo comes from the same ‘batch’ that yielded us two healthy sons. If its brothers are anything to go by, then this frozen pea is one tough nut.
Of course, I could have gone through with the transfer and, perhaps, given my boys a welcome sibling, but at 44 it just doesn’t feel right. Because while it most likely wouldn’t have worked, it might have; and there’s nothing salubrious about going through a procedure, while all along hoping that it fails.
It was with no small irony that we were once told that the best-case scenario for couples going through IVF is completing your family and not having a single embryo left in storage.
As I wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald last year, this statement came back to haunt us every three months when another ‘storage bill’ would arrive in the mail. Ruminating on the dilemma of what to do with our embryo, one option we considered was ‘adopting’ it out.
But again the insurmountable challenges (i.e. the blood tests, compulsory counselling, red tape, ongoing ethical and emotional ties etc.) and not to mention the reality of having our sons’ genetic sibling out ‘there’ somewhere proved too much for us.
And we’re not alone. It’s estimated that about 90 per cent of IVF clients ‘choose’ not to donate their surplus embryos to other couples, while even less donate for research.
Such dire statistics have helped shift the mindset of Sydney journalist Prue Corlette and her partner Aaron Sharp. Corlette and Sharp, who have two-year-old twin boys via IVF and six embryos in storage, told Fairfax earlier this year that when the time feels right they’re hoping to donate their embryos to research.
“If people didn’t donate to research, then they would never discover anything and we would never have had our boys,” Corlette says.
Corlette and Sharp certainly have my admiration. It’s a worthy final act; full of wonderful karmic intention. And yet I simply can’t leave our embryo to science. Of course, I know it’s selfish and churlish, but in my defence once again I present my bloody, obsequious, trembling heart.
This embryo carries every microcosm of our longing.
So when my husband suggests we take the embryo home I feel something close to peace of mind for the first time in a long time. While we aren’t sure if it’s possible, for days afterwards we’re buoyed by the idea of holding in our hands this final link in our family chain.
To their eternal credit, the nurses at the IVF clinic don’t seem to think I’ve lost my mind. Within minutes of shooting off an email, I receive a call from Lee*, who assures me that it won’t be a problem. It seems that while the clinic doesn’t strictly advertise taking home the embryos, several former clients have done just that.
So as we edge ever nearer to that implacable date, I go over and over the scenario of driving to the IVF clinic for the last time (but this time with my three year old in the backseat), and departing with the final paperwork, good wishes and…what? Perhaps a small, indiscreet box?
And on the weekend, we’ll try our best to explain to our boys the significance of that precious cargo. We’ll grapple with questions big and small (and not only from our boys); such as how something so miniscule could have left such a mark on our lives and how they might remember this noteworthy, yet still-to-be-fully-grasped moment of putting to rest a living memory.
And then we’ll search for a nook in the garden that’s bathed in light. | 2019-04-22T02:18:38Z | null | 438.5 | 4,020 | null | 0 | []

I have been working with children since a young age from after school programs to child care at church and I'm also a mother of 4 children. I enjoy being a nanny and helping the families in any way I can! It's very rewarding watching the child grow and learn new things everyday.

Congradultations Lady! Well, well deserved.
Thank you! This is high praise from you, since I *know* you know your stuff in this arena. I’m thinking of jotting down the tune I wrote so far, and maybe you can help me set it to an instrument some time. The DUM-teka’s are already stuck in my head, too. It was the easiest way to get the meter to work — write a melody, and make the lyrics fit the tune.
Hope you’re feeling well soon, too!
By the way, m’dear, you almost made me cry when you did the poem. Thank you for that. It was beautiful. | 2019-04-20T22:56:16Z | null | 427.2 | 539 | null | 0 | []

Laureus Ambassador Jacques Kallis spent his career shattering cricket records but, as he told the latest edition of the Power of Sport podcast, it’s a first ever hole-in-one that could well be his personal sporting career highlight.
The former Proteas star is a feature guest in episode 7 of the Power of Sport, hosted by Jean Smyth, where he also reflected on his role as the coach of the Cape Town Knightriders ahead of the upcoming Global League T20, shared his thoughts on the impact that new Proteas head coach Ottis Gibson will have after a tough two years for the national team; and features in ‘Blitz’, our rapid-fire, either-or question series. Did he opt for Graeme Smith over Mark Boucher? Download to find out.
But it’s the recent memory from a course in the Lowveld that had the 41-year-old, who scored over 13,000 test runs and nearly 300 test wickets, most excited.
Also in the episode we conduct a unique online photographic ‘show and tell’ with adventurer Ron Rutland on the remarkable Longest Hole campaign that saw him and Adam Rolston make history, playing golf across Mongolia. The feat saw the two, and their trusted adopted stray dog UB, walk over 2000kms and play over 20 000 shots in 82 days in aid of the Laureus Foundation and the South African Golf Development Board.
We also travel to Mauritius to find out about the Laureus SA national summit that saw ambassadors, project representatives and key stakeholders all come together to provide a platform for networking, training, knowledge sharing and ultimately creating a highly effective practice environment for all to benefit from.
so great your post walk over 2000kms and play over 20 000 shots in 82 days in aid of the Laureus Foundation and the South African Golf Development Board. | 2019-04-24T12:15:06Z | null | 755.2 | 1,766 | null | 0.771801 | [

The 2006 Cadillac Presidential Limousine is a hand-crafted and armored version of the Cadillac DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan) stretch sedan for the President of the United States. The new Cadillac DTS was first used during the second inauguration of George W. Bush in the January 20, 2005 parade.
The vehicle was custom built by O'Gara, Hess, and Eisenhart, armored vehicle builders who have been building armored presidential limousines since the 1960s. The base platform is a Cadillac DTS, but little of the original vehicle remains. For example, DeVille's flush-style door handles have been replaced by a loop-type design apparently borrowed from the 1992-99 generation Buick LeSabre, doubling as grab-handles for the United States Secret Service agents running alongside the car. Exterior examination suggests that the head/tail lights, and the wreath-and-crest emblem atop the grille are some of the few stock components.
Similar to its predecessor, the 2001 Presidential Limousine, the stretch Cadillac features an executive leather interior with a rear foldaway desktop, an extensive entertainment system featuring a 10-disc CD changer, and adaptive, massaging cushions. The president sits in the rear, facing a console-mounted secure communications panel connected to five antennas mounted on the trunk lid. The vehicle has a flag of the United States mounted on the right front fender, and a Presidential flag on the left front fender. Flush-mounted high intensity discharge (HID) spotlights illuminate the flags at night. Like a standard Cadillac DTS, the presidential limo is said to have a night vision system, but the camera moved to an undisclosed location.
The exterior is paneled with five inches of ballistic armor, and is said to be able to withstand anti-tank grenade launchers. The underside of the car is also armored. The windows, which do not open, are transparent armor thick enough to block sunlight, which is the reason the interior is illuminated with naturalistic artificial lighting. The doors require automatic systems to open and the car has a run-flat tire system. The limousine is also environmentally sealed against chemical and biological attacks. A four wheel drive system to improve traction might also be fitted.
A secret service communications vehicle (toting most of the communications equipment) and a paramedic-equipped ambulance aides the limousine as a part of any presidential motorcade. The Presidential Limousine uses the call sign "Cadillac One. "Cadillac One is transported everywhere the President goes, and is airlifted on domestic and international trips by Air Force transport planes. Cadillac One remains amoungst one of the most distinct automobiles in the world with its imposing frame and the Presidential Seal clearly affixed to the rear doors. When the President travels on domestic trips and working international trips, Cadillac One flys the American Flag and the Presidential Flag. When the President however performs a State Visit to a foreign country, the Presidential Flag is replaced by the flag of that country.
The Vice President of the United States also has his own distinct limousine which is manufactured by Cadallic and it is currently a 2001 DeVille model. It is similar to Cadallic One but instead flys the Vice Presidential Flag and bears the Vice Presidential Seal on the rear doors. It is not known if it too is transported wherever the Vice President goes or only operates in the Washington DC area.

A mythical accessory to a terminal. A crank on the side of a monitor, which when operated makes a zizzing noise and causes the computer to run faster. Usually one does not refer to a grind crank out loud, but merely makes the appropriate gesture and noise. See grind.
Historical note: At least one real machine actually had a grind crank -- the R1, a research machine built toward the end of the days of the great vacuum tube computers, in 1959. R1 (also known as `The Rice Institute Computer' (TRIC) and later as `The Rice University Computer' (TRUC)) had a single-step/free-run switch for use when debugging programs. Since single-stepping through a large program was rather tedious, there was also a crank with a cam and gear arrangement that repeatedly pushed the single-step button. This allowed one to `crank' through a lot of code, then slow down to single-step for a bit when you got near the code of interest, poke at some registers using the console typewriter, and then keep on cranking. | 2019-04-22T10:28:27Z | null | 503.9 | 998 | null | 0.983968 | [

English professional boxer Scott Westgarth has died after collapsing in his dressing room following a post-fight interview on Saturday, just moments after winning a brutal fight.
Westgarth was rushed to hospital after appearing groggy and complaining of feeling unwell in his post-fight interview following his 10-round points win over previously-unbeaten Dec Spelman on Saturday night.
Although the 31-year-old had dropped Spelman in the 3rd round on his way to winning the fight, he himself had been floored in the closing stages of the bout, and appeared to be in pain during his interview.
Reports say Westgarth was shaky making his way back to the dressing room, where he collapsed and was rushed to hospital, forcing the rest of the card at Doncaster Dome, Yorkshire, United Kingdom to be postponed. Westgarth died on Monday.
The light-heavyweight from the northeast of England compiled a professional record of 7 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, and also worked as a personal trainer. Tributes poured in from the world of boxing to Westgarth, who leaves behind girlfriend of 10 years Natalie.
“God bless Scott Westgarth 2 promote a Boxing show and a young man doing a job he loves losing his life I have no words RIP lad thoughts go out 2 yr family and yr team it’s been the hardest few days I’ve had to endure no idea what 2 do moving forward,” Stefy Bull, the show’s promoter, said.
Very sad to hear the awful news about Scott Westgarth this morning. Thoughts are with his family and friends right now.
“Very sad to hear the awful news about Scott Westgarth this morning. Thoughts are with his family and friends right now,” Frank Warren said.
“Hits hard the dangers of our beloved sport when tragedies happen. My thoughts are with Scott Westgarth and his family and friends at this terrible time. RIP champ x,” wrote former British champion Jamie Moore.
Spelman, Westgarth’s opponent on the night, added his own personal tribute: “Absolutely heartbroken and lost for words ail continue to pray for Scott’s family and the people close to him rest easy my friend,” he said.
Westgarth trained in Yorkshire under the tutelage of former world title challenger Ryan Rhodes and worked as a chef in Sheffield. His latest win meant he was one victory away from challenging for the English light heavyweight title.
A Go Fund Me page has been set up in his honor. Former WBC heavyweight world champion Frank Bruno tweeted a link endorsing the page, which will support Westgarth’s family. | 2019-04-25T20:20:23Z | null | 332.2 | 2,480 | null | 0.18871 | [

Following the announcement in 1990 that the 1996 Olympic Games were to be staged in Atlanta, TSW was asked to assist in site selection and programming for the tennis venue. As a result of this effort, the team that TSW assembled was selected to design the Olympic Tennis Center at Stone Mountain. TSW’s role included site planning and landscape architecture.
An exhaustive programming process culminated in a compact plan, on 22 acres, for three stadium courts and 13 championship courts, each seating from 500 to 12,000 spectators. The site design concept centered on the park-like setting of the adjacent golf course as part of the entry sequence and as the principal view orientation from the main public plaza.
The development program required three separate “front doors”: one highly ceremonial and geared to large crowds for Olympic and subsequent event use; another more private and secure for VIP arrivals; and a third more “friendly” entrance for daily use of the public tennis center.
The design also anticipated retrofitting requirements such as the expansion of box seating in the main stadium and potential future addition of an indoor tennis building. | 2019-04-19T10:15:57Z | null | 514.1 | 1,165 | null | 0 | []

At the point when most of your study is done, and you feel pretty confident about the content of the study materials, it is time to schedule your exam. Even for the best prepared students, actually scheduling the exam can be a nerve-wracking experience in-and-of itself because it is, at this point, that the “test date” becomes a hard reality. This date will become the focus of all your remaining studying efforts. You still need to brush up on your studying, even until the day before the exam, so here are some exam preparation tips to help you.
Consider making flash cards. The student can put pertinent notes on them and keep looking at them, over and over. When they are confident in any one of them, they can put that card in the “I got this” pile and keep working on the others, and keep repeating this process until there are none left.
Another helpful suggestion is to create a word association or some other mental cue to help remember the facts. For example, most of us learned the little phrase in music class, at grade school “Every good boy deserves fun” or “Elvis’ guitar broke down Friday” the first letter of each word starts with the sequential musical note on each line of the upper staff. In addition, the notes in the spaces between the lines spell out the word “face”.
This is something I have easily remembered for decades, even though I am not a musician. What you ultimately decide to use MUST be something that works for you – a word or phrase, an acronym, an image, or some other little “catchy” thing that you can easily remember. It doesn’t matter how silly. It might even be a little song that you create for yourself.
Studies have found that one of the best methods of studying is to read, then re-read, then write it down, then talk about it with someone else (teach them), then SLEEP. Sleeping has been found to help solidify information that has been taken into the brain (see link below).
It is also recommended to study in a similar physical situation to that in which you will take the exam. As we know exam locations are (usually) quiet, so it is best to try to study in a similar situation. Some people recommend listening to music while studying, but this author disagrees. Physical situation plays a part in memory recall (“environmental context-dependent memory”). If you study when it is quiet, rather than while listening to music, or the TV, or You Tube, your brain will find it a little easier to recall information under exam conditions, when it is equally quiet.
As a side note, we do not recommend leaving everything to the last minute and having a “cram session”. This may appear to aid in immediate memory retention in the very short-term, but the information learned is forgotten just as quickly.
Plan, in advance, how you will get to the testing center. Plan your journey whether it is by foot, bicycle, public transport, or car. Make sure you know how long it will take to get there and plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to counter for any potential delays. Stressing about being late is the last thing you need!
Now you have set the date – create a plan and start working towards it. | 2019-04-24T14:48:54Z | null | 317.4 | 3,147 | null | 0 | []

Plastic Surgeon is set to launch a dedicated Scotland Division, which will see it cater specifically for the region, thanks to growing demand and to better reflect the locality of its team.
Plastic Surgeon, which operates throughout the UK, provides surface repair to the construction and housebuild industry, using its specialist skills to fix damage caused during the course of construction projects. With a dedicated Scotland based team and amidst growing demand for its services, the firm plans to launch a specific Scotland division – with the official unveiling occurring at Scotland Build.
As part of the enhanced focus on the region, Plastic Surgeon has brought in a new Scotland sales manager to join the well-established existing team, who will be tasked with working with both new and existing Scottish construction and housebuild clients to ensure their needs are catered for.
The launch sees new branding for the division, with a thistle logo now incorporated within the design, giving it a distinct Scottish edge, whilst also maintaining the essence of the original Plastic Surgeon branding.
The new branding has been incorporated onto the team’s vans and uniforms, with high visibility jackets sporting the Plastic Surgeon Scotland logo on the back.
At the Scotland Build expo, Plastic Surgeon will carry out live repair demos as well as have its team on hand at stand G20, ready to explain how surface repair can benefit the construction and housebuild industries.
The expo is set to take place on 23rd and 24th November in Glasgow, and will see some of Scotland’s major construction and housebuild firms exhibiting and in attendance.
With 17 Fine Finishers based in Scotland, a dedicated operations manager and a sales manager for Scotland, Plastic Surgeon has the largest team of repair specialists in the region. In addition, should requirements need it, the firm can call upon over 140 Fine Finishers based elsewhere in the UK to supplement its Scotland based team.
Providing both internal and external surface repair, the cosmetic repairs offered by Plastic Surgeon reverses the effects of accidental damage and natural wear and tear. Crucially, repairing rather than replacing offers an environmentally friendly and economical alternative.
Having operated in Scotland for many years prior to the formation of its dedicated Scotland division the firm already has a long list of clients it has worked with in the region, including Barratt Homes, Robertson Construction, McCarthy and Stone, Stewart Milne and Cala Homes. | 2019-04-20T14:18:35Z | null | 489.5 | 2,539 | null | 0 | []

Thank you, Disney, for taking canine-on-canine romance so seriously for all the millennial cinephiles out there. Tessa Thompson is reportedly in final negotiations to voice Lady, the American cocker spaniel, in Disney’s upcoming live-action–CGI remake of Lady and the Tramp, per intel from Collider. The film, which would be exclusively available on Disney’s streaming service (remember, that’s a thing?), has already confirmed Justin Theroux to voice the mongrel Tramp, and Benedict Wong has also signed on to voice Bull, the English bulldog. Disney promises the remake will remain faithful to the 1955 original with some modern stylistic tweaks, just like what we’ve recently seen with Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book. If that means changing spaghetti to bucatini, we’re protesting. | 2019-04-23T11:55:34Z | null | 303.4 | 793 | null | 0 | []

India is planning to supply two naval warships to Sri Lanka to strengthen its capabilities to guard its maritime boundaries. The two Offshore Patrol Vessels would be built by the Goa-based defence PSU Goa Shipyard Limited and they are expected to be delivered to the Island nation by 2017-18 timeframe.
Bern. Non-government organisations (NGOs) have recently reported isolated cases of Sri Lankan nationals who have been arrested by the Sri Lankan authorities and tortured on return to their home country. The Federal Office for Migration (FOM) has taken fast and comprehensive action to investigate the cases that have been brought to its attention. The FOM has no factual knowledge to date as to whether and to what extent Sri Lankan returnees have been unlawfully treated. The imminent repatriation of Sri Lankan nationals has been suspended until the results of the investigations are known.
The Indian Coast Guard yesterday said it had apprehended ten Sri Lankan fishermen for allegedly entering Indians waters illegally and fishing last month and their two boats in August and handed them to Tamil Nadu Police. In a statement issued in Chennai, the Coast Guard said its ship Viswast, while on patrol, around 4.20pm apprehended a Sri Lankan fishing boat on August 31 with five crew members and 155 kg fish catch.
Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa on Tuesday claimed that UN human rights chief Navi Pillay's visit to Sri Lanka was influenced by propaganda from elements of the LTTE that was defeated in a civil war in 2009. Gotabhaya, said the "re-emergence of terrorism is still a threat" despite the end of the country's nearly three-decade ethnic war.
New Zealand and Sri Lanka have agreed to develop the Asian country's dairy sector in an attempt to build bridges after a safety row involving Fonterra milk powder. Sri Lankan regulators hit Fonterra with a two-week ban on selling and advertising its products last month, after the country's food safety authority claimed it had detected the agricultural chemical DCD in milk powder.
Sri Lanka today accused UN rights chief Navi Pillay of transgressing her mandate during her week-long fact-finding mission in the country to probe alleged war crimes committed during the ethnic conflict with the Tamil Tigers. "The High Commissioner's observation that Sri Lanka is showing signs of heading in an increasingly authoritarian direction is a political statement on her part, which clearly transgresses her mandate and the basic norms which should be observed by a discerning international civil servant," Information Department said in a statement. | 2019-04-19T06:17:01Z | null | 352.4 | 2,606 | null | 0.167306 | [

The response of molecular systems to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region (0.3–300 GHz) has been principally studied experimentally, using broadband dielectric spectroscopy. However, relaxation times corresponding to reorganisation of molecular dipoles due to their interaction with electromagnetic radiation at microwave frequencies are within the scope of modern molecular simulations. In this work, fluctuations of the total dipole moment of a molecular system, obtained through molecular dynamics simulations, are used to determine the dielectric spectra of water, a series of alcohols and glycols, and monoethanolamine. Although the force fields employed in this study have principally been developed to describe thermodynamic properties, most them give fairly good predictions of this dynamical property for these systems. However, the inaccuracy of some models and the long simulation times required for the accurate estimation of the static dielectric constant can sometimes be problematic. We show that the use of the experimental value for the static dielectric constant in the calculations, instead of the one predicted by the different models, yields satisfactory results for the dielectric spectra, and hence the heat absorbed from microwaves, avoiding the need for extraordinarily long simulations or re-calibration of molecular models.
This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Molecular Simulation on 23.03.2016, available online: http://wwww.tandfonline.com/10.1080/08927022.2015.1055741. | 2019-04-19T20:32:33Z | null | 538.7 | 1,554 | null | 0 | []

YOUR time at university shouldn’t just be about straight A’s. Preparing for your dream job starts now. Cintia Chen shares a few tips on how to approach each university year to your advantage.
In an earlier article, I mentioned I was once told we should approach each university year differently. The first year of university is for you to make friends and adjust to the new stage in life. The second year is the “golden year”, where you are most active and involved in extra-curricular activities whilst expanding your social network. The third and, for some, final year, is for you to start preparing to enter the workforce, or at least, prepare for whatever you’re doing after graduation.
I asked a few young professionals in Melbourne – who were once international students themselves – if they would like to share any lessons or insights with current university students. They all come from different industries and working environments, including big corporate firms such as ANZ and NAB, small-to-medium sized enterprises, as well as the Victorian Government. In spite of these differences, some key points came up over and over again. I have taken their advice and, together with my experience, put together a short guide about how to approach each university year in preparation for work life.
Starting university may create mixed feelings of excitement and nervousness, all stemming from the fact that everything is new. You now have some freedom to plan your timetable and to decide whether or not to go to class. You may be part of a new living arrangement, where you may share an apartment or a house with friends, sibling or strangers; and more importantly, you’ll make new friends, who may or may not be for life.
Genuine friendships are gold because they are based on reciprocity. This means you give and take, and once you enter the workforce, this will mean helping each other open doors to opportunities and connect with others that may do the same for us. My friend Ella recently told me she was doing a research project about social investments and one of the principals at the company where I work is an expert in corporate social responsibility and social enterprises. In response to my friend’s newfound passion and desire to further explore this area, I offered to introduce and connect her to the principal. As a result, the principal told me there was a chance Ella could potentially be brought on board to help with a research project endorsed by the United Nations Global Compact!
Building meaningful relationships isn’t all; making friends and meeting new people will also most definitely help you develop your communication skills, especially if they are from a culture different from your own.
Being able to articulate your ideas, your thoughts and effectively communicate the message across are core skills to have. If you look through job ads, you will see that communication skills are a key requirement, regardless of the profession. Most people I spoke to agreed.
This is particularly important when your colleagues come from all around the world. For example, a friend of mine in Melbourne works with people from Australia, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, South Africa, etc. We both agreed that it’d be a disaster if none of them could express themselves effectively. No work would get done!
Most people I talked to agree that students should gain work experience during university, and I would argue the second year is the perfect time for it, especially after adjusting to university life. This is the time to get a part-time job, an internship or be actively involved in clubs, societies and even organisations outside of university.
If your answers are negative, you may need to reconsider your options.
International students often believe they are at a disadvantage when looking for work experience as they do not possess a Permanent Residency visa. In reality, there are a range of good options that will give you the work experience you want.
First off the list are university clubs and societies (some of which are internationally renowned such as AIESEC and 85Broads), where you have the opportunity to take on executive positions and be responsible for making key decisions, organising events and managing people. There are also many credible not-for-profit organisations with a purposeful mission and brilliant organisational strategies in place that welcome volunteers, regardless of their nationality.
For example, the Oaktree Foundation offers leadership opportunities in a number of areas such as marketing, digital media and business development, for people interested in fighting poverty. Meld Magazine offers opportunities to students aspiring to be journalists, writers, editors, designers, illustrators and other creative fields. One Girl offers opportunities for personal and professional development for those interested in education and economic empowerment, and United Nations Youth Australia offers nationwide or state-wide opportunities to address international issues whilst developing your problem solving and leadership skills.
With regards to internships, international students have the advantage of having access to opportunities offered both in Australia and their home country. In Australia, most large corporate organisations, small businesses and start-ups offer internships and part-time positions to students who may not have Australian citizenship.
Many of us would recommend you approach prospective employers and ask them about potential internship opportunities, or a 3-month placement. Remember to demonstrate your capabilities and give them evidence of how you will add value to them and their company. This could be an opportunity to get your foot in the door and potentially lead to more serious responsibilities and commitments in the future.
This was actually what happened to me, when I got offered a part-time job after interning in a consulting company for two weeks, and then a full-time job after graduation.
Applying for jobs can be a very difficult task, mainly because rejection is inevitable. Quite frankly, it is not pleasant. The first thing you should know is that perseverance will be your best friend. I remember sending over 20 job applications in one week. After receiving no responses, I did end up with one or two rejections. I eventually landed a part-time job, but the rejections (or lack thereof) were not fun.
I have heard of people sending 80 applications in one year and securing a good job with a technology company, or of another determined job-seeker sending around 100 applications in a month, and landing a job with a prestigious bank. The point is: many will say no, but we should not let this stop us from trying harder. You can either see the rejection as something that will bring you down, or make you stronger.
When you apply for jobs, you are making a statement. You are trying to demonstrate that you add value to the company. This means that you should tailor your CV and cover letter for every job application, outlining the reasons for your interest. Do not send generic CVs and cover letters because it will be obvious that you are re-using the same documents for multiple companies.
And, yes, cover letters are a must. The CV is key, but only contains limited information. The cover letter allows you to further elaborate your experience and skills, accompanied with adequate examples or any other supporting evidence.
Last but not least, make good use of LinkedIn: it is free, useful and far-reaching. Create a profile and keep it up to date, treat it like your online portfolio and use key words to optimise your exposure. Many of my friends have told me that recruiters keep sending them job offers or invitations to meet for an interview. One of them got poached to move to another law firm. Another got a job offer, but when she tried to resign and move to the new company, her current employer gave her a salary raise.
Your time at university should be filled with enriching experiences that make up fond memories in years to come. Use that time wisely. Have fun, invest in the things you are passionate about, keep going, and your efforts will pay off some day.
I really agree with the second point that it’s important to work on building up your CV once you’re well adjusted to university life.
Additionally, it helps to start going to business and networking events and exposing yourself to relevant people in your industry. This will allow you to put yourself out there (and stand out from the crowd) and to build up your social confidence and networking skills. | 2019-04-19T10:33:08Z | null | 262.2 | 8,625 | null | 0 | []

Soul Garden in Gurgaon is a beautiful garden that’s a co-working space, a brekkie spot and an organic haven.
Soul Garden is bulldozing all the things that make us not want to go to Gurugram – the concrete, the wannabe microbrewery culture, and parking mess. This is exactly why we’re so excited!
When Payal began work on this erstwhile Cafe Red, one sustainable step at a time, she knew she wanted to create an outdoor space that’d host people’s celebrations, but also let them just chill with music, pups and authentic wood-fired pizzas. And she’s got the formula going right with so many Gurgaon peeps raving about the place.
While we love the outdoor space, we’re happy to report that the peppy red and white interiors are equally welcoming. There are board games and books as well when you need to refresh yourself from all those work emails.
The Italian fare here is worth writing home about and they’re one of the best brekkie places in Gurugram that open at 9am.
We feel that their indoor area is not as stunning as their outdoor section. So if you do have the option, grab a seat outdoors.
They’ve got ample parking space and a lawn to host a party of about 100 people. So, in case you're planning an event for a medium-sized gathering, hit them up.
Also, if you're up for some retail therapy, do drop by their store called Kinche right outside the cafe. | 2019-04-19T12:48:16Z | null | 393.3 | 1,362 | null | 0.167401 | [

Federal emergency relief officials have provided new details on their decision to reject California's request to reimburse the state for work to rebuild and reinforce the badly damaged spillways at Oroville Dam.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced earlier this month that it would not reimburse the state for $306 million in construction on the spillways, which failed in February 2017 and prompted mandatory evacuation orders for 188,000 people living downstream of the nation's tallest dam.
In a brief statement March 8, a FEMA spokesperson said the agency was refusing to reimburse the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for work on the upper portion of the dam's main concrete spillway.
The agency said the decision was based on earlier engineering reviews that found "a variety of problems existed at the dam" before the sequence of events that led to the spillway crisis.
In a follow-up memo sent last week to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, FEMA said reimbursement had been denied for two separate phases of the spillway recovery work: rebuilding the upper 1,500 feet of the main concrete spillway and extensive reinforcement of the adjacent hillside that serves as the dam's emergency spillway.
Federal emergency officials argued that while the nearly total disintegration of the lower half of the chute can be attributed to events in February 2017 -- events covered by a presidential disaster declaration -- that's not the case for the upper part of the spillway, which suffered no visible damage during the incident.
FEMA's memo noted that an independent forensic team found last year that poor design, construction and maintenance of the spillway made its failure "inevitable." The agency said those long-term factors explain damage to the upper spillway -- and make that part of the structure ineligible for disaster funding.
FEMA can pay 75 percent or more of qualifying expenses for disaster recovery efforts, and has reimbursed the state for $333.4 million of its costs to date — including $128.4 million granted last year for the initial emergency response to the disaster and $205 million announced recently to pay for replacing the lower portion of the spillway.
The Department of Water Resources, which had submitted $113.2 million in costs for the upper spillway reconstruction, said Tuesday it will appeal the FEMA's decision.
"FEMA’s determination memo points to technicalities and the need for additional information to support why something is eligible," said DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon in an email. "As we’ve said before, DWR believes all reconstruction work is eligible for reimbursement and we’ll be providing additional information to FEMA during the appeals process."
The federal agency also rejected a request for $193 million in costs related to work on the emergency spillway -- an unlined hillside covered with brush and trees adjacent to the main spillway. It was the rapid erosion of that slope -- and the potential threat to a quarter-mile-long concrete weir adjoining the main spillway -- that raised fears of a catastrophic release of water from Lake Oroville and prompted orders for communities downstream to evacuate.
In the wake of the crisis -- the first time the emergency spillway hillside had been used in Oroville Dam's 49-year history -- the upper portion of the emergency spillway hillside was reinforced with a variety of structures. Those include a "cutoff wall" made of massive concrete piles that reach as deep as 65 feet below ground level, as well as a buttress and splash pad designed to protect the emergency spillway and dissipate the energy of any future overflows.
In its memo, FEMA said the work is not eligible for reimbursement because the original hillside was not maintained and because the recent improvements to the emergency spillway are actually new, permanent structures.

Using carbonless paper is a great way to make business forms right in your office, efficiently and cost effectively. These pre-collated set are in a sequence of the finished form.
We have tried different brands and have found this one to work best and produce the most professional looking forms. The paper is loaded white page up. Set printer to settings to straight run (not collating).
Using your office computer and printer, you can produce multi-part forms on demand, saving time and money. You can even print instructions, terms or other text on the reverse side of the paper.
Once your forms are printed, you need to make sure they are stacked as straight and tight and you can. Place a telephone book or other heavy object on top of the stack. Use a good adhesive, designed to attach and "fan apart" the forms after they have dried to glue them together. The glue, applied with a foam brush, will connect the 3 parts and allow the sets to be separated easily.
This paper is perfect for service companies, such as home inspectors, roofers, contractors, etc., to make contracts, reports or any other form that requires a signature or multiple copies.
3-Part pre-collated set of white, canary and pink paper.

The origins and lifetime of East ecu Jewry took on new old and political value after the Holocaust. In Poland on my own ninety nine in line with cent of Polish Jews 3 million in all have been killed; Yiddish as a spoken language roughly disappeared. This quantity provides a background of East ecu Jewry from its beginnings to the interval after the Holocaust. It offers an outline of the demographic, political, socioeconomic, non secular and cultural stipulations of Jewish groups in Poland, Russia, Bohemia and Moravia.Interesting subject matters comprise the tale of early settlers, the 'Golden Age', the impression of the Kabbalah and Hasidism. brilliant images of Jewish kinfolk lifestyles and non secular customs make the e-book stress-free to learn.
Instructed briefly, gripping chapters, this is often an unforgettable precise tale of survival. the writer used to be featured in Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah visible background beginning. At simply 15, her mom, and brother have been taken from their Romanian city to the Auschwitz-II/Birkenau focus camp.
Encouraged by means of the convention “Deaf humans in Hitler’s Europe, 1933–1945,” hosted together by means of Gallaudet college and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1998, this striking assortment, prepared into 3 components, integrates key displays and significant postconference study. Henry Friedlander starts off “Part I: Racial Hygiene” by way of examining the attack on deaf humans and other people with disabilities as an crucial point within the Nazi try to enforce their theories of racial hygiene.
Sufferers of the Holocaust have been confronted with ethical dilemmas for which nobody may possibly arrange. but a number of the life-and-death events compelled upon them required instant activities and approximately very unlikely offerings. In difficulties particular to the Holocaust , present day best Holocaust students research the tricky questions surrounding this poor bankruptcy in global historical past.
Acclaimed historian and previous OSS officer John Waller tells a vibrant story of treachery compounded via ethical depravity of the failing loyalty of high-ranking Nazi zealots and of 1 man’s efforts within the face of grave own probability to hasten the defeat of Hitler’s Reich, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of Nazi concentration-camp inmates condemned to die.
These reached their peak in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, although Poland as a Place of Refuge for Jews 23 they continued to have an effect thereafter. In the foreground stood a preoccupation with religion and its practice. The invention of printing contributed to the rapid spread of literature. In 1534 the first Hebrew printing office in Cracow was founded, only a little later than the one in Prague, then the intellectual center of Judaism. Books were published in Hebrew for the educated reader.
Besides taxation, the participation of Jews in civic construction work or defense also had to be dealt with. Included in this were agreements for the construction of fortified synagogues. If cities were attacked by enemies of the kingdom, Jews often stood shoulder to shoulder with Christians on the walls in the common fight. From the beginning of the sixteenth century they had to form their own militia units; though they could usually have this obligation commuted to the payment of a sum of money.
In many cities this could be achieved, although the prohibition was frequently circumvented. Bydgoszcz (Bromberg) set the ball rolling at the beginning of the fourteenth century. In 1483 the Jews were driven from Warsaw, and in 1494 the Jews of Cracow gave in to the constant pressure and moved to the suburb Kazimierz. Cracow remained closed to Jews as a place of residence, with a few exceptions, until 1867. At the end of the fifteenth century all Jews were expelled from Lithuania, although they were permitted to return on payment of a large fee: it seems that they still had their uses. | 2019-04-23T20:21:28Z | null | 414.5 | 3,998 | null | 0.471736 | [

Thats difficult so we suggest to do it EBC to Phaplu. After reaching Lukla you enjoy 3 days journey to Tarai of Nepal to reach Phaplu where get a taxi ride of 10 hour to Kathmandu.This is the less travelled route in comparison to Jiri.On Everest Base Camp we experience astounding mountain views, get glimpses of the life of the world famous mountain climbers (the Sherpas), enter Sagarmatha National Park, a world heritage site and tour high altitude Buddhist monasteries. Trekking to the Everest Base Camp of Nepal also provides us an opportunity to embark on an epic journey that Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay set off to in 1953. Our Sherpa will guide us to the base camp of the world?s tallest mountain, Everest on an adventurous trek package that also includes climbing Kalapathhar to admire the panoramic views of Everest and other Himalayas. Nothing beats the thrill and sense of accomplishment that grips hikers on seeing the power and grace of the mighty mountain up close.
Sarath P:We had concern for Lukla Flights but TransHimalaya.in managed it well. Guide and Porters were very humble and helped to complet the trek smoothly. | 2019-04-18T23:14:36Z | null | 706.3 | 1,191 | null | 0.759866 | [

The Mississauga LRT system has been approved with promised funding from the province of Ontario. The Liberal government has stated that they will cover the full $1.6 billion required to complete the project.
The Block Nine Condos are the latest addition to Parkside Village Mississauga and will bring a fresh, yet traditional set of living options. Prices start at the mid 200,000’s and will offer competitively low maintenance fees.
Maintenance fees can be quite expensive, everyone is familiar with this. However, many condos in downtown Mississauga, collectively referred to as Square One condos offer hydro and heating costs incorporated within the monthly maintenance fees. | 2019-04-20T22:26:31Z | null | 443.2 | 678 | null | 0.89233 | [

How do you make words, which are just sounds or written symbols, somehow reflect real people and events in the world? This is a complex question which every writer has to answer for themselves, but in F. Scott Fitzgerald's case, it's all about "evocative" writing - that is, trying to "evoke" a scene in the reader's head. That's why we focused on the attention to detail in setting as a way into Fitzgerald's dense writing throughout chapters 1 and 2 - it helped us see how his writing isn't meant to just tell a story, but bring to life a whole WORLD with language. This is especially well-done in Chapters 3 and 4, which finally introduce Gatsby in twin scenes that evoke almost opposite images of him. In Chapter 3, he appears as a perfect gentleman, whereas in Chapter 4 he at least briefly becomes, in Nick's words, "sinister." Which is it? Is it both? The duality or contradiction between appearances and reality that defines Gatsby will begin to make more sense in Chapters 5 and 6, where it will become our focus.
For now, by paying close attention to DICTION (word choice, especially adjectives/adverbs) and SYNTAX (sentence structure, especially way way Fitzgerald links patterns of images together), we'll unpack the many layers of thematic meaning in Fitzgerald's evocative prose. You will post a comment here at the conclusion of chapter 4 analyzing one passage's descriptive use of a MOTIF (recurring image or symbol) and its thematic significance, worth 25 points (including a response to a classmate's post).
A recurring image or symbol in one passage was Montenegro or the metal that Gatsby received for becoming a war hero, on page 66 of chapter four. Gatsby seems to reminisce as if he experienced good times there. However his tone changes from happiness to pity, but more sympathetic. The text states "Little Montenegro! He lifted up the words and nodded--with a smile. The smile comprehended Montenegro's troubled history and sympathized with the brave struggles of the Montenegrin people". This shows the progressive change in Gatsby's tone throughout the text and how quickly Gatsby’s emotions can change. Its thematic significance relates to, if Gatsby is capable of telling the truth and how he wants Nick to interpret him the right way, not based on the rumors he’s heard. Gatsby wants Nick to know, he is a good man. But why? What does Gatsby of all people need to prove to a man like Nick who’s not rich or prestige, like himself? On the previous page Gatsby also stated, “Look here, old sport, he broke out surprisingly. What’s your opinion of me, anyhow?” and “Well, I’m going to tell you something about my life, he interrupted. I don’t want you to get a wrong idea of me from all these stories you hear”. Again the text shows how Gatsby seems to want and almost need Nicks approval. Overall, the recurring image or symbol was Montenegro or the metal Gatsby got for being a war hero and how it connects with a significant recurring theme of, is Gatsby able to tell truth and or, why does he want Nicks approval, and care so much about how he’s perceived.
Suubi I really like your point about Gatsby seeking Nick's approval. In chapter 4 Gatsby goes so far into his life story that it really seems like a fabrication. How could all of that possibly be true? It almost makes it look like Gatsby is trying to impress Nick so much that Nick forgets about the rumors. But why is Gatsby trying so hard? What is he trying to hide?
A lot of people compare Gatsby to the Wizard of Oz. He hides inside his "curtain" of fancy clothes and Oxford manners, but behind all that there is ... nothing. You could say this is true of all of us, as did the sociologist Erving Goffman, whom you might remember from this video we watched with The Crucible.
One of the recurring images that Fitzgerald adds in his writing to help us visualize the scene is his description of the sounds at the first party of Gatsby's as an orchestra. On page 40 Fitzgerald writes "...and the opera of voices pitches a key higher." By giving the sounds of the party a common theme, music, Fitzgerald illustrates to us how the party has a musical and refined feel to it while at the same time being bombastic and intense. Furthermore, this description helps to paint the party in a positive light despite it obviously being somewhat chaotic, as shown by the car crash at the end of the night on page 53. When the sounds are given an cadence, like a musical piece from an orchestra, we can envision the festivities as fun, but a little subdued. Without this vision, the party would only be seen as a mess of yelling, drinking, dancing, and jazz. Lastly, by giving the sounds the appearance of music Fitzgerald once more gives us a false image. Parties are not musical. They are heart-pounding chaotic masses of people coming together to make merry (get drunk). There is nothing musical about it. But by giving us this false image of music, Fitzgerald depicts the party as something else entirely; some musical and delightful.
There's an opposition between music, harmony, orchestrated unity (the facade) and the chaotic, disharmonious, underlying disorder (the reality). What you describe is especially powerful in the scenes at the end of the party, where the music is over and there are sounds of out-of-tune piano, arguments, and the crash you mention. Good points!
I have to agree that with the timing of the details on the orchestra, the party has certain feelings associated with it. The early elegance to the orchestra's presence disguises the fact that the party is just a party but at the same time I feel it one-ups the party Tom and Nick went to. I feel Fitzgerald stressed the sounds to make the party feel better early on but also to feel worse in the end making it on the level of that other party. However, I think this stressing was just exaggeration as in the movie, the party did feel better with the upbeat orchestra but it also wasn't so bad when the guests were leaving as some were still filled with that upbeat energy, especially Jordan after talking with Gatsby. I guess my point here is that although the sounds help give the party different feelings, it's kind of all in our heads how much of an impact the noises really made on the outcome when the actual reality was probably minimally affected by them as shown in the movie.
Reccurring symbol within the words of the novel is his life story. In the novel the author shows how important his story line is to show the importance of his first impression towards Nick. The symbolic impressions are shown when Nick describes his opinion of Gatsby stating “that he was a person of some undefined consequence that gradually faded” (64). After Nick thinks about it he finally changes his viewpoint on him when Gatsby begins to discuss his past on page 65. He rambles on about his life and gives Nick proof as well. Also with Mr. Wolfsheim repeating his story, Gatsby’s goal is to ultimately have a good impression of him so that Nick would invite Daisy to tea. He wants to impress Nick to show that Gatsby is a good man. First impressions are a very recurring theme in the Great Gatsby.
Very nice Jackie Itzzo! Its interesting that you would bring up Gatsby's first impression because it seems he has had many first impressions on many different people. This is how all of the stories formed, the base of these stories was the differing first impressions between people.
NICE JAYQUELLINE! I think your ideas are very interesting. Do you think Nick had a couple different "first impressions"? For example, seeing Gatsby's house for the first time gave him a completely different impression that actually having a real conversation with gatsby did.
Another recurring symbol is the bringing up of where people went to college. We as readers are constantly reminded of which characters went to college and where they went. This could be meant to portray their intelligence and their wealth. The main character Nick, Gatsby and Tom are both explained as men who went to college. Gatsby and Tom are rich both rich people. The author didn't mention whether or where the poorer characters went to college. Also from a feminist lens you can see that there aren't as many girls explained as having received a college education.
A motif used specifically in chapter 4 is Gatsby's car. Nick brings it up multiple times throughout the chapter. Nick talks about the car like it is an amazing and one of a kind thing and that nothing else could be as extraordinary as it. As Nick and Gatsby pass a funeral procession, Nick even goes as far as saying "I was glad that the sight of Gatsby's splendid car was included in their somber holiday" He admires the car so much that not even a death could take his mind off of it. The car represents Gatsby's lifestyle and how fascinated Nick is by the whole ordeal. Without using the car as a repeated example, the reader still would have gotten the message that Gatsby lives an ostentatious lifestyle, but they would not have gotten the sense of how obsessed with it Nick is.
One of the motifs recurring throughout chapters three and four is the idea of Gatsby’s background. In chapter 3, things remain mysterious with speculations from party guests that he “killed a man once,” or “was a German spy during the war,” or that he was “in the American army during the war” all according to page 44. However in chapter 4, Gatsby reveals that he indeed was in the war as he was “promoted to be a major” and was “educated at Oxford” according to pages 65 and 66. Once we are introduced to Mr. Wolfsheim, he then butters up Gatsby even more by describing him as a “fine fellow” and “Handsome to look at” according to page 71 and also mentions his status at Oxford again on page 72. The significance of this background is to make us question if we can really trust Gatsby. By the end of chapter 4, it is revealed that Gatsby loves Daisy and wants to have tea with her. Although their love story is very dramatic and touching and Tom is far from the best husband, this plan is extremely wrong without any consent from Daisy. Gatsby is attempting to meet up and hopefully hook up with a married woman! The fact that his background might be true does make the situation seem less intense but, it could also be a huge elaborate lie just so Gatsby gets his way. Obviously, Gatsby has the money to do almost anything, so would a few fake medals and photos and friends really be that hard to buy? Nick picks up very early on in the car ride that Gatsby is very bad at lying and difficult to be taken seriously, so why should he believed? Nick easily abandons his doubt with just a few reassuring glances showing Gatsby can be manipulative. The initial stories of Gatsby from chapter 3 also show us that the man is known by very few since so many stories are out to try to figure him out. Could Nick and Jordan really be two of those people that Gatsby actually tells the truth to? It would make sense since he is very interested in Daisy but again, what if that’s his only goal; to get Daisy by any means necessary, whatever lie he has to make. This motif’s thematic significance is that not everyone can be trusted. Nick knows that which is why at first he questioned every one of Gatsby’s moves and statements. However, now he seems more inclined in Jordan than Gatsby’s personal matters so it remains to be seen how Nick will assist if he does. And if he does help Gatsby, it will be interesting to see how Gatsby presents himself to the love of his life, Daisy.
A recurring symbol that i seemed to see was Gatsby's constant display of how powerful he was and how much influence he had in the city. He shows Nick all of the things that hes done, medals that hes won etc. He blatantly speeds through the city and when stopped by the police he simply shows them a card and they apologize and let him go on his way. After all of this display you get a certain impression of Gatsby, the impression of him being powerful but this is shattered when his connection to Daisy is revealed. His motives are shown and this completely changes his character. This also ties into the theme that there are always things that are hidden from our view.
Great post, Akin! The point you made that stood out to me was when you mentioned what happened when he was stopped by the police man, and at the flash of a card, got off the hook. This is a perfect representation of the amount of power he had, and how his power got him things that those with less power are not given.
I liked your point about how his power is shattered when his connection to Daisy is revealed. He had enough power that he could do anything in the world he desired, but instead he uses his power to try and woo back Daisy. Gatsby might seem powerful and act powerful on the outside, but on the inside he is weak for Daisy.
One recurring and contributive symbol to the theme of not only chapter 3, but the novel overall is Gatsby's car. Nick shows consistent fascination and amazement towards this possession of Gatsby's. This fascination represents the main reason Gatsby is viewed so highly by most. He gains popularity through materialistic things like his extremely large and attractive house, his extravagant parties, and his fancy car. In chapter 4, however, this very car was the same location in which Nick began to doubt Gatsby about his stories, such as his Oxford claim. Additionally, whether this claim is true or not, Gatsby claims to have been educated at Oxford due to family tradition, and simply born into wealth. We begin to uncover things about Gatsby that are much less than extraordinary. The idea Gatsby's magnificence begins to dull.
I like what you said about people being drawn to Gatsby's possessions, but in his possessions he was doubted. He is always being doubted at his parties because no one really knows him.
A reoccurring symbol that appears in chapter 4 is Gatsby's sadness that he carries with him everywhere he goes. This can be seen when Gatsby begins to tell Nick about how he is the last of his entire family on page 65,""My family all died and I came into a good deal of money."His voice was solemn, as if the memory of that sudden extinction of a clan still haunted him.". In addition to this is that Gatsby(after inheriting the money) begins to live like a prince which I see as Gatsby trying to fill an empty hole in his life. Then on the very next page Gatsby's sadness comes back again when he says that when the Great War came around HE TRIED TO DIE but as hard as he tried to die, fate wouldn't let him. Then for trying to get himself killed in the war he was awarded the medal of honor by all the allied countries for "acts of valor" that he exhibited. He also shows the medal of honor from Montenegro to Nick and says"...every Allied government gave me a decoration-even Montenegro, little Montenegro down on the Adriatic Sea!". Which can be seen as Gatsby making fun of his sadness by showing how even a small country gave him the medal of honor. Also on page 74 Gatsby meets Tom Buchanan and then after meeting he disappears. The reason why Gatsby disappears is because Tom married the love of his life Daisy which probably reminds him of the one thing that can stop his sadness and make him feel whole.
"It was dark now and as we dipped under a little bridge I put my arm around Jordan's golden shoulder and drew her toward me and asked her to dinner." This is another reference to light and dark. It was dark outside yet Jordan was golden and Nick was drawn toward her just like a moth to the light.
In the words of the novel, a reassuring symbol was the way Gatsby and other people talked about Gatsby's life. Gatsby on page 65 was telling Nick about his life and how he inherited a lot of money from his dead relatives. Nick had also heard many rumors about how many amazing or daring things Gatsby had done or had been involved in. Gatsby, being a very mysterious man, was pouring out his background to Nick. "Well, I'm going to tell you something about my life. I don't want you to get the wrong idea of me from all there stories you hear." page 65. It seemed Gatsby wanted to make a good impression on Nick so he could get something in return, Daisy.
I was thinking of this too! Also, on page 66, when Gatsby was starting to get into his was story, he stated that "it was a great relief and [he] tried very hard to die, but [he] seemed to bear an enchanted life". This made me think of a metaphor for his old self, that still exists within him.
One motif used by Fitzgerald in chapter four was the use of the colors of America. Specifically, when Gatsby was speeding through the streets, he removed “a white card from his wallet, [and ] waved it before the [police]man’s eyes”(Fitzgerald 68). This implies that the corrupt justice in the U.S. allows for specific people to get away with things if they have the status for it. Also, Jordan commented on when the wind blows, “the red, white, and blue banners in front of all the houses stretched out stiff and said tut-tut-tut-tut, in a disapproving way” (Fitzgerald 74). This suggests that the very symbol of America does not like what was happening to the system and the people within it. Something as free as the wind is not approving of the level of freedom in The States.
One of the recurring motifs was alcohol. In the beginning of Chapter 3, alcohol is thrown in as if a side note, and continues to be existent but very lowkey throughout the next chapters. Alcohol is what made Owl Eyes crash his car. In the beginning of the fourth chapter, one of the ladies says, "He's a bootlegger.", which turns out to be true. Alcohol is just always there. | 2019-04-22T08:12:59Z | null | 404.9 | 17,686 | null | 0.021825 | [

What does over/under 2.5/3 and handicap(-0.5/0) mean?
If you make a bet on over/under 2.5/3 then half of your bet is made on over/under 2.5 and other half is made on over/under 3.
If you make a bet on handicap –0.5/0 then half of your bet is made on handicap –0.5 and other half of your bet is made on handicap 0.
Example: You place a bet of EUR 1.00, for example on the first team and choose bet type Over 2.4/3, it means that half of your bet (EUR 0.50) is placed on 2.5 and the other half (EUR 0.50) on 3. Therefore if the game ends with result 3:0 then the first half of your bet has won (as there are more than 2.5 points) but the other half is paid out with doefficient 1.00 (as the result is exactly 3 points). If the coefficient of the bet is 1.50 then the total winnings of the bet will be EUR 1.25 (first half of the bet ( EUR 0.50 on 2.5) won and the other half (EUR 0.50 on 3) paid out with doefficient 1.00). Winnings will be calculated: 0.50x1.50+0,50x1.00=1.25. | 2019-04-20T18:11:40Z | null | 1,744.7 | 976 | null | 0 | []

Warehouse Safety Program like Safety Training for Workers.
Warehouse safety is top priority for facility managers. It should be top priority for everyone from the floor worker to the warehouse president. Not only should every worker be aware of visible safety hazards and how to counteract them, they should also see potential safety hazards that may result from certain actions or inactions. Even though it may seem like common sense, most workers simply don’t know or don’t pay attention to the hazards of their jobs.
Safety trainings are a great way to educate your work force. These trainings can also save you money – in lost hours, medical bills and insurance rates. It’s obvious that if a worker is hurt on the job, he or she loses working hours and incurs medical bills that the company ultimately will have to pay. These unfortunate events will likely be covered under your workman’s compensation insurance or your liability insurance. The more claims you have, the more your insurance rates rise. But did you know that implementing consistent safety programs for warehouse employees can also result in lower insurance rates in the first place? That’s right. Your prevention can result in your savings.
Check with your insurance representative to see if you are eligible and what the requirements would be for a safety program to qualify. Even a monthly safety tip can have a big impact on your work environment, can raise awareness among your employees and get you a better insurance rate. Here are a few tips to get you started on that safety program. We’ll take you through December of this year, but we’re sure you can look around your environment and think of more for the following year.
– Do routine forklift checks. Forklifts are the culprits of one of the highest accident rates in warehousing. Make sure all employees know proper operating procedure. Inspect all forklifts before and after each use.
– If you have racking systems, verify and confirm the weight capacities. It is very easy to go over the weight limit, spelling disaster for your rack system, and possibly your workers.
– Check the anchors of your upright shelving. Can’t find ‘em? Make sure you have them, first of all! Then check them for grounding. They should provide enough counter-pressure to handle the weight of the product on the shelves.
– Keep your work area clean and clear of any debris, sticky floors, wet floors, or dust particles. All of these can be hazardous for workers on foot or on equipment.
– Keep all equipment clean, updated and in good repair. Old, failing equipment is the cause of many workplace accidents. Make sure employees know how to handle any mechanical equipment.
– Discourage use of electronics while on the job. They are a distraction and are the root of many accidents, simply because someone wasn’t paying attention to the surrounding environment or didn’t look up from the phone.
– Do routine ladder checks. Everyone thinks they know how to use a ladder, but reinforcement is always helpful. Make sure ladders are sturdy and balanced and all hinges operable. Make sure employees understand the various capacities of ladders and that only one person at a time should be on the ladder.
– Have all equipment installed by a professional. Double-check all installed equipment. Make sure it is securely in place and can handle the planned loads.
– Check the area around you before moving any type of equipment – electronically or physically. Make sure the route is clear of both people and things and that you have a clear shot to your destination.
Safety programs can help to insure your profitability. Start one today! | 2019-04-24T16:45:44Z | null | 426.3 | 3,639 | null | 0 | []

Knob Creek Small Batch Bourbon is an undeniably big, full flavor that strikes your senses with a maple sugar aroma, distinctive sweetness and a rich, woody, caramel flavor with a long, smooth finish. Knob Creek is crafted in limited quantities, aged several years and placed in only the deepest charred American Oak barrels to fully draw out the natural sugars. Then we bottle it at an honest 100 proof to reflect the flavor, strength and patience that defined pre-prohibition whiskey. | 2019-04-24T15:52:05Z | null | 448.1 | 485 | null | 0.923711 | [

Some of the most prominent writers used pseudonyms, like one of my favorites, Louisa May Alcott, who wrote Little Women. That’s even true today. Did you know that marketers urged Harry Potter author Joanne Rowling to use initials instead of her first name so boys would read Rowling’s books?
In many facets of life, women have to pretend to be someone they aren’t. Let’s spend today being who we really are.
I love waking up in the morning and sharing a positive statistic with you. The 2015 Larger Literary Landscape Count analyzed 26 publications, and found that 15 of them published as many (or more) bylines by women as men.
That means women are finally being credited for their work. We’re moving on up in the world, ladies!
Author Babette Hughes wrote her first story at 12 years old. It didn’t take long before she got published, in 1963. Now, this 93-year-old writer has published countless crime novels about her salacious family history and numerous articles about the female experience.
Hughes has led a life as gripping as the characters in her crime novels. Her father was murdered when Hughes was only 2 years old, a fact her mother kept secret. Hughes left home and married as fast as she could, settling for an abusive husband. In 2000, she wrote a sincere memoir about her history and learning to accept the cards she’d been dealt.
Hughes has written her thoughts on writing, politics and aging for Huffington Post. But what’s perhaps most paramount is a six-piece narrative about her battle with breast cancer. As she expresses feelings of humiliation and fury, her prowess with the pen makes you feel like you’re sitting next to her as she suffers through 35 radiation treatments.
One of the most commendable things about Hughes is how active of a writer she is. I think once I hit my 90s, I’ll be sufficiently worn out! But not Hughes.
Hughes writes every single day. She says the secret to a long life is to accept it all: the good, the bad, the ugly. Once you accept that you only have one shot at this whole life thing, you are more accepting of yourself and the world around you.
We all have a lot to learn from Hughes. I hope she never stops telling her story.

The rich on the right are surely laughing.
They’ve managed to whip up a media frenzy of rabid attacks against public employees — who are our firefighters, street sweepers, teachers, police officers, librarians and garbage collectors.
Through their friends the Koch brothers and their buddies at Fox, the rich on the right are using expensive TV ads — and their own pontificating pundits and politicians — to create an anti-union firestorm.
With some success, the rich on the right in Wisconsin tempted working-class wage earners to attack their own brother and sister workers in public jobs. And now, in Michigan, they’ve taken aim at all jobs.
But what about the rich-on-the-right? Who watched out for them, when they were sinking and had no union? Who came to their aid, when they were going under (and taking us with them)?
We did. And, instead of being grateful, they gave themselves bonuses with our money.
To keep us distracted from their profits at our expense, the rich-on-the-right also bring up the dreaded specter of the baby boomers — most of whom are working people — who have the audacity to retire, placing an enormous ‘burden’ on the rest of us, and threatening Social Security!
‘Why, you folks should invest that money in our banks, in our investment products,’ they say. ‘Make Social Security private and we’ll take good care of your money,’ they say.
Well, you say. Maybe they have a point.
Want to know, truly, how to keep our Social Security solvent?
Take away the Social Security tax exemption for the rich.
What? They get an exemption from the Social Security tax?
All persons making more than $106,800 pay no Social Security tax for their income above $106,800.
Why don’t most folks know this?
Because wealthy, tax-hating people — like the Koch brothers — use the media to get us to fight against one another.
Imagine what would happen, if everybody started paying the Social Security tax on all the money they make each year.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, removing the post-$106,800 exemption means Social Security would remain solvent for the next 75 years.
Think of it — You pay 4.2 percent, taken out of each paycheck, for Social Security.
But for those making more than $106,800? They feel they shouldn’t be bothered.
Uncle Sam has given them this big tax exemption; and they don’t even have a union. They have lobbyists.
And as the rich on the right keep up their attacks on working people, and use their huge bank accounts to foment working-class fratricide (e.g. Wisconsin), they continue to stiff-arm the cameras away from their own privileges.
Hey, Congress! End this Social Security tax privilege for the rich! Make them pay their fair share for Social Security!
No exemptions after the $106,800.
You can bet that, when the rich retire, they cash their Social Security checks. But they don’t want you to know that you paid more to backup their Social Security check than they did.
Tell Congress to end this unfair break for the rich; make them pay their share; no exemptions for income above $106,800.
The Constitution says we are all equal under the law. Then we sure ought to be equal under the Social Security tax.

Metal packaging is produced from some of the most readily available raw materials on earth and used in the production of everything from tools that will hold an edge (like razor blades and knives) to dinnerware, and industrial components like springs, bearings and cables. It’s no wonder that it’s been considered one of the most versatile and important contributors to the advancement of society for centuries.
Lesser known is the sustainability credentials that steel has earned over the years. Metal has no peer in packaging when it comes to recycling. . . it is infinitely reusable and 100% recyclable. With recovery rates in several industries approaching 100%, and as much as 70% of today’s production consuming recycled steel or aluminum scrap, metal packaging represents one of the best uses of core raw materials there is. The videos that follow was produced by the Metal Packaging Manufacturers Association in the UK and provides a great overview of how “metal recycles forever”.
This universal appeal of metal packaging also comes from its classification as a permanent material – a material that once produced can be recycled or reused without the loss of quality, regardless of how often the material is recycled. The next video highlights this important design consideration and attribute. | 2019-04-24T14:41:13Z | null | 345.8 | 1,303 | null | 0 | []

NEWARK – Guy DeBonaventura played eight minutes in the boys’ state basketball championship game for St. Elizabeth against Smyrna on March 10 at the Bob Carpenter Center, and he scored just three points. But the senior’s three-pointer with 5:06 to go put the Vikings ahead for good as St. Elizabeth earned its first title with a 60-49 triumph that was closer that the final score would indicate.
For DeBonaventura, who missed several games with a broken hand late in the season, getting that pass from classmate Nate Thomas meant a ton.
The win was the Vikings’ ninth in a row. That streak followed a stretch where the team lost four of five. Their stirring postseason run – in which they were the ninth seed in the 24-team bracket – included wins over Newark (24th seed), St. Georges (eighth), Glasgow (17th), Caravel (fifth) and Smyrna, the third seed and defending state champion.
Until the final seconds, the biggest lead in the second half was seven, which Smyrna held at 43-36 late in the third. But the Vikings cut that to two before the third ended as Thomas, who had been scoreless, drove the lane for a layup, went back for a rebound on the other end, then took a pass from Justin Money and drained a three-point shot with seven seconds to go to make it 43-41 as the final quarter began.
The Vikings trailed for nearly 16 consecutive minutes of game action, from early in the second quarter until DeBonaventura’s triple. But they did not let Smyrna – a dangerous three-point shooting team – extend the lead too much, and Thomas said they knew they could rebound.
“Basketball is a game of runs. That was key for our team, to keep confidence and keep believing that hey, we can win this thing,” he said.
Smyrna big man Jaymeir Garnett made two free throws early in the fourth to double the Eagles’ lead, but the Vikings then launched their final comeback. Thomas started things with a short jumper, then found DeBonaventura for his three-pointer. Nasir Brown drove the lane for two, but Eagles sharpshooter Caleb Matthews cut the lead to one with a layup of his own with 3:28 left on the clock.
The St. Elizabeth lead fluctuated between one and three points until the final 40 seconds, when Smyrna started sending the Vikings to the free-throw line. St. Elizabeth hit its first three free throw attempts, but then missed five of their next six. Smyrna lost its composure late, picking up a pair of technical fouls in the closing seconds, and Nasir Brown and Thomas each made a pair of free throws for the final margin.
Vikings coach Matt Rubincam said a key to the win was playing stiff defense throughout the season, especially in the state tournament. Against Smyrna, the Vikings held Matthews, the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year, to 16 points, 11 of those in the first half.
“They bought into the defensive philosophy of what I’ve always taught. We had to make some adjustments on the defensive end, but I’m very proud of them and I’m very proud for the school as well,” he said.
Vikings junior Money drew Matthews as his defensive assignment, sticking particularly close after Matthews nailed three triples in the first half. Money was the go-to person on defense against all of the Vikings’ postseason opponents.
After the final buzzer, the players sprinted over to the end zone at the Carpenter Center where a sizable contingent of their schoolmates had spent the early afternoon cheering wildly. The players waded into the bleachers, where they were enveloped by the students. The rest of the VKNation, as the school’s supporters are known, snapped photos and took video. The hard work had paid off.
Jordan Brown capped an eye-opening season with a team-leading 17 points. Money added 14, and Thomas scored 11. Matthews and Garnett each scored 16 for the Eagles, who finished the season at 20-4.

Think for a moment, what takes your breath away? I always talk about breathing in my Yoga, Pilates, and as a Doula. We are not supposed to stop breathing, yet there are things in life that stop us in our tracks, sometimes ecstasy, sometimes fear.
Seeing nature takes my breath away. I just feel entranced, still, one with the beauty. One of the places I teach Yoga has an entrance through the fourth floor parking garage. Since the sun sets early, when I get to the gym at 6pm, the sunset is so colorful and picturesque, this picture does not do it justice.
Yesterday I was driving home late after a class, almost 10pm, I was above the city on a highway, and I saw a dark red oval shape, it was huge, it kind of looked like the moon, but it was so low, I kept on trying to have my eye on it. Once I was close to home I tried to take a picture of it, but I could not capture it with all the city lights. I am still in awe, and I tried to look it up online to see if it was a special moon, it really looked alien, oblong, odd, mysterious, I love nature.
A wonderful Yoga student of mine hooked up my whole family to go to the zoo today. We had such a fun time, the giraffes and gorillas were so friendly and curious, my little guy said the monkey was looking at him. It was cool but a warm sun, really a perfect day to go, the kids had a blast. | 2019-04-22T04:48:07Z | null | 445.1 | 1,342 | null | 0 | []

Facebook said Friday, October 12, that hackers accessed personal data of 29 million users in a breach at the world's leading social network disclosed late last month.
Rosen also specified that this breach only affected Facebook, and not Instagram, WhatsApp, or any other apps.
In a statement the Data Protection Commission described the update as "significant", as it confirmed that the personal details of millions of Facebook users was accessed by hackers. Of that number, 14 million users had further details exposed, including gender, religion, device types, birthday, last checked-in locations, who and what they follow, and most recent searches.
In September, Facebook had said that hackers had stolen digital log-in codes to take over almost 50 million user accounts.
The hackers began by using a series of seed accounts and attacking the accounts of friends, then friends of friends, and so on down the line, eventually amassing a group of 400,000 compromised accounts. On the Facebook Help Center users can check if they have been affected and what information may have been accessed. As you can see, my account was not accessed.
Explaining the breach, Facebook said, "The attackers exploited vulnerability in Facebook?s code that existed between July 2017 and September 2018".
The hack, one of the worst in Facebook history, comes at a time when the social network is desperately trying to regain trust with its users. Canadian users have reported having to unexpectedly log in again to their Facebook accounts after the security breach. For one million users, their accounts were hacked but no data was stolen. Or you can click this link while signed into Facebook and scroll down. On September 25, we determined this was actually an attack and identified the vulnerability. It also plans to share steps they can take to protect themselves from suspicious emails, text messages and phone calls.
The synergy between three separate software bugs allowed the miscreants to misuse Facebook's View As feature - which lets users to see their accounts as someone else would - to steal the access tokens associated with the viewed account.

According to Hong Kong media reports, in the past Andy Lau would have a solo concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum in every 2 or 3 years but since his 20-nights concerts in 2010, Andy only staged his ALWAYS China concert tour in 2013 but he stopped at 10 shows and last year’s tour was postponed. The fans in Hong Kong had been waiting for a long time but there was no news of Andy booking slots in the Hong Kong Coliseum for his concerts.
Andy personally resolved his postponed concert tour mystery, it’s because he wanted to spend more time to accompany his daughter as he does not wish to miss the growing up period of his daughter. Andy said: “Because staging a concert need to spend a lot of time in planning and rehearsal, after that you need to do concert tour, thus I shall wait till my daughter goes to school, I like to accompany her for another year, this period of time I feel that I shall put more time to my daughter.” He need to spend some time to select the school for his daughter, bring her for interviews, just like a normal father to worry for their child’s education, hoping to find a suitable school for his daughter.
During the earlier Chinese New Year gala show, during interview he revealed that he and his wife are vegetarian as during pregnancy his wife is already a vegetarian thus she can be considered as a “pure vegetarian baby”. In this interview, Andy expressed again: “Actually being a vegetarian since birth is the best, if you’ve ate meat and wanted to change to a vegetarian, there will be a transition period as the body needs to adapt. For example vegetable protein is more important than animal protein, it can accept nutrition, in addition to a dietitian looking after your diet, there will be enough nutrition.” Andy’s daughter is so blissful to have a thoughtful father taking care of her.

Prosthodontists and dental implants were spotlighted in an Associated Press article that appeared in several national publications, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and ABC News.
The article looks at the importance of seeking qualified care for dental implants and highlights prosthodontics as one of three specialties that has expertise in the placement of implants.
"It's probably the greatest thing that's happened to dentistry since fluoride came to the water," says Dr. Carl Driscoll, former president of the American College of Prosthodontists, the specialty providing artificial tooth replacement.
The article was picked up by around 100 other news sources, highlighting the specialty of prosthodontics to people across America and several other countries! | 2019-04-24T02:03:25Z | null | 163.5 | 781 | null | 0 | []

Monday morning we are starting on the new floors. We will maintain our regular schedule, but open gym time will be limited to non-class times only.
Please schedule your open gym time during non-class times for the entire week.
Monday, Dec 2-Thurs, Dec 5 we will be working out of the front room only. Showers will be available.
Friday, Dec 5- Sunday, Dec 8. The front room will be closed and showers will not be available. Please enter through the main gym room doors at the end of the building.
Thanks for your patience!!! We are excited to make some cool changes and additions in the next month!

So How Does Dry Ice Blasting Work?
How does dry ice blasting work? Well first, let’s define some terms. A contaminant is any substance that you want to clean off, or otherwise want gone. It could be anything from carbon dust to grease to oil to cocoa powder. When you clean a contaminant, you clean it off of a substrate, which is the surface or item you want to be clean when the whole process is over.
Dry ice utilizes the third law of thermodynamics, called sublimation. What is sublimation? It is the process by which a solid changes directly to a gas without ever becoming a liquid. It is this very rapid change (and subsequent expansion of about 800 times, in the matter of milliseconds) that makes the whole process work.
So, now that you know what sublimation is, and how it works, let’s talk about thermal shock. If a substance is sitting at room temperature, say, between 70 and 80 degrees, and you very rapidly (again, think milliseconds) cool it down significantly (dry ice is -109F, so by “cool” I mean close to -109F) you have shocked it thermally. When this happens, the substance will constrict (similar to power lines in the winter) and lead to cracks and penetrations in the surface of the material. The first few pellets that hit a contaminant/substrate thermally shock it, causing the desired constriction, and the subsequent pellets fill those cracks and penetrations, and sublimate upon impact, literally blowing the contaminant from the substrate.
Let’s contrast that with the type of blasting that everyone has heard of, which is sandblasting. Sandblasting uses impact and friction to remove surface coatings and contaminants. Think of sandblasting like using thousands of tiny hammer and chisels. As you can imagine, the potential for damage increases exponentially when utilizing this type of force. I am all for sandblasting when it is the right tool for the job, but when it comes to industrial cleaning, nothing beats dry ice!
If you'd like to see some dry ice blasting in action, check out this video of us blasting cocoa powder. | 2019-04-25T20:20:33Z | null | 403.8 | 2,059 | null | 0 | []

"Creamy sweet rose ice cream with salty roasted pistachios. A match made in heaven!"
Rinse the rose petals in cold water, and pat dry. Place 2/3 cup of rose petals in a saucepan with the heavy cream, half-and-half cream, and 1/3 cup of sugar. Place over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a bare simmer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and let the cream and rose petals steep for about 30 minutes. If you prefer, strain out the used rose petals. Set the remaining 1/3 cup of uncooked rose petals aside for later.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread pistachio nuts out onto a baking sheet, and bake until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Prepare an ice water bath for rapidly chilling the ice cream mix: set a large bowl in the sink, and fill with ice cubes and enough water to let the cubes begin to melt. Place a strainer over a 2-quart bowl and set it in the ice bath. Have the ice water bath and bowl ready while you make the custard.
Place the egg yolks and 1/3 cup of sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk the yolks and sugar until thick and pale yellow.
Place the saucepan with the rose-scented cream back over medium-low heat, and bring almost to a simmer, stirring constantly. Gradually pour about a cup of the hot rose cream into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Repeat with the remaining hot cream. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth, thickened, and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 more minutes. When mixture is just thickened, remove it from the heat.
Pour the hot custard through the strainer into the chilled bowl in the ice bath.
Stir the ice cream mix for about 2 minutes to prevent lumping, and mix in the rose water. Start with 1 teaspoon of the flavoring, and add more to taste, up to 2 or more tablespoons. Stir in food coloring, if desired. Place a sheet of plastic wrap against the surface of the ice cream mix, squeezing out any air pockets. Chill the ice cream mix for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Place the chilled ice cream mix into an ice cream freezer, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is soft-frozen, scoop into a lidded container, and stir in the remaining rose petals and the pistachios to combine. Freeze, covered, for several hours to firm up before serving.
Look for rose water at Middle Eastern or Indian grocery stores. | 2019-04-25T04:42:52Z | null | 575.8 | 2,428 | null | 0 | []

Do you know the hidden costs of running a small business that could bust your overall budget? What happens when you run out of office supplies, have to pay rent, your computers get corrupted and your online store crashes? Imagine if that happened all at once! Our newest infographic shares the top eight costs of running a small business that you should be prepared to handle at any given time.
One of the most important checks your small business will write each month is to your insurance provider. It’s vital to protect your business, yourself and your employees. Look into policies that cover public liability, negligence, illness and injury.
With salaries, paid-time off, sick leave, health insurance, parking, employee benefits, and turnover… employees cost more than you might expect. A good team is a money saver — so be certain to train your employees and ask for referrals when hiring to save you time and funds.
Whether you have an online store or a storefront, you will eventually require repairs and maintenance. Think about your company’s website, smartphones, electronics, etc. — what happens if they all suddenly stop working at the exact same time? Save a line in your budget for the unexpected.
To get better acquainted with the small business industry, you’ll need to network. To accomplish this, consider joining a trade association that has potential clients and industry veterans involved. Their annual fees are up to $200 (depending on which ones you select), so only join a few at a time!
Every business, especially small businesses, will inevitably require a great lawyer. Unfortunately, some of the best lawyers can charge hundreds an hour! To cut down on legal expenses, ask for all costs upfront in order to negotiate a fee. Seek out reputable and smaller legal firms that are more willing to negotiate fees and billing schedules.
Have you ever run into issues with your inventory? This could be a result of theft, shoplifting or administrative errors. The Global Retail Barometer states that the annual loss to retailers in the U.S. at $42 billion! While it is impossible to halt downsizing completely, you can reduce your exposure by implementing cyber security, in-store security and a loss prevention staff.
In the private and corporate world, employees cover half of your Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) contributions. But because you are your own boss, you will have to fund 100% of your Social Security. To cover yourself while maintaining your budget, be sure to set aside additional cash toward your retirement fund.
Other potential hidden costs of running your own small business include paying for licenses, permits, fees and hiring an accountant or tax advisor. To prepare for future unexpected costs, try setting aside 20% of your revenue to cover them. | 2019-04-18T16:20:31Z | null | 509.1 | 2,805 | null | 0 | []

Even though I have long moved out of home, I still talk to my mum most days.
We live a long way away from each other, meaning a casual drop-in for a cup of tea and a catch up is unfortunately not a regular enough occurrence – so our daily phone call is the next best thing. We talk about all manner of things: the garden (her’s); the animals; dad’s latest project (wood-fired pizza oven); my daughter O’s latest word (“bugger”, not sure where she learned that one…?); and always food. The discussion of what I have planned for dinner is then always followed by mum asking “…and something green?”. Growing up, I can’t remember a dinner that didn’t include something green – something my mum is evidently still passionate about (even from 600km away).
So these are for you, Ma – two ‘something green’ tarts. Super speedy, super delicious, and super green. Perfect for a light lunch or speedy supper (with a big green salad of course!).
Preheat oven to 220ºC (200º fan forced).
In a small bowl combine creme fraiche, 1/4 cup parmesan and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Wash and trim broccolini and asparagus and toss with olive oil.
Place puff pastry onto 2 baking trays lined with parchment. Score a 2cm border around the edges of the pastry and prick the inside of the pastry with a fork.
Spread the creme fraiche mixture evenly across the 2 pastry sheets, leaving border uncovered. Top one sheet with broccolini and the other with asparagus.
Sprinkle remaining parmesan over the tarts and brush the border with milk.
Bake for 15mins, or until pastry is puffed and golden.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving scattered with some extra parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil. | 2019-04-23T03:58:28Z | null | 657.5 | 1,695 | null | 0 | []

This year SWAT4HCLS includes a spotlight on the fast emerging arena of Agrisemantics. The program will include a tutorial, a keynote talk and a panel session each highlighting the opportunities, challenges and successes in this important new application area.
CGIAR is a global research partnership of 15 Centers primarily located in developing countries, working in the agricultural research for development sector. The CGIAR system is charged with tackling challenges at a variety of scales from the local to the global, which generally means being able to query and/or aggregate a variety of data types and streams. CGIAR aspires to FAIRness in its research outputs, and while progress is being made, the I of FAIR is the frog that doesn’t readily turn into a prince for the FAIR ringmistress in this tale. Yet, interoperability – particularly semantic interoperability— is critical to providing meaning and context to CGIAR’s varied information resources and enabling integration between linked or related data (e.g. an agronomic data set and related socioeconomic data). CGIAR’s approach to interoperability and data harmonization focuses on the use of standard vocabularies, and strong reliance on ontologies developed across CGIAR (efforts such as the Crop Ontology, the Agronomy Ontology – AgrO, the in-development socioeconomic ontology – SociO), and other entities (ENVO, UO, PO etc.) Spinning these into a semantic web for agriculture is a primary focus of the CGIAR’s Big Data Platform for Agriculture, and its Global Agricultural Research Data Innovation and Acceleration Network (GARDIAN). GARDIAN is intended to provide seamless, semantically-linked access to CGIAR publications and data, to demonstrate the full value of CGIAR research, enable new analyses and discovery, and enhance impact. In this talk, I will discuss CGIAR’s path to a FAIRy tale ending, complete with the sticky considerations entailed in web-spinning.
Institute of Data Science, Maastrich University.
Dr. Christopher Brewster is a Senior Scientist at TNO, and Professor in the Application of Emerging Technologies at the Institute of Data Science, Mastricht University. He specializes in semantics and interoperability architectures with an interest in emerging technologies such as blockchains. He was scientific co-ordinator for the Dutch public-private funded Techruption Blockchain project , and co-led the Blockchain in agrifood project funded by Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. His research focus is Semantic Technologies, Open and Linked Data, interoperability architectures and Data Governance, with a special interest in the roles of Blockchain technology in solving real world problems, the ethical implications of blockchain technology, and the interaction of semantics with smart contacts. He has focussed on the agrifood domain as an application domain focussing on the use of Semantic Technologies to the food supply chain and logistics. He has published over 60 papers in conferences and journals, and organised many workshops.
Tom Baker has worked on Semantic Web standards and vocabularies since the late 1990s, when he helped organize the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI), which he now co-directs. Tom co-chaired the W3C working group that published Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) in 2009 and currently contributes to the community developing the Shape Expressions language (ShEx) for RDF validation. In the area of agriculture he has worked on projects about AGROVOC and the FAO Geopolitical Ontology and helped FAO, NAL, and CABI develop the Global Agricultural Concept Scheme (GACS). Arguing that communication is always imperfect and that precise semantics do not scale across multiple domains and languages, Tom advocates for simple vocabularies and ontologies as a basis for pragmatic interoperability..
Derek Scuffell has worked in Agricultural research in industry for the majority of his career. Recently he has been focusing on applying semantics and linked data to create enduring data assets for enterprises. Derek actively participates in a wide range of collaborations across industry, has contributed to an number of data initiatives, such as the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) network, the European bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) industry partnership. Derek represented industry interests on the design for Agrimetrics a UK Agritech centre, and now sits on the Agrimetrics Advisory Board and is also visiting Professor, at the University of Reading in the School of Agriculture Policy and Development.
Dr. Matthew Lange is a Food and Health Informatician in the Food Science Department at UC Davis with over 20 years experience building data, information, and knowledge systems for academia, industry, and government operations. He is the Principal Investigator and Director of IC-FOODS, the International Center for Food Ontology, Operability, Data, and Semantics (www.ic-foods.org). IC-FOODS is dedicated to building global computable infrastructure for the Internet of Food and the Semantic Web of Food. Synergistic with IC-FOODS, Dr. Lange co-leads the GODAN Working Group for Alignment of Authoritative Vocabularies of Food, and is designing ontological infrastructure for a new FoodCentral Repository for USDA food composition databases. The Semantic Web of Food (SWoF) and Internet of Food (IoF) hold promise to fundamentally alter the way we produce, process, deliver and consume food: giving rise to ecosystems of next-generation knowledge tools that lower technical innovation barriers for creation of novel, traceable, ecologically-friendly foods, products, medicines, and lifestyle regimens: precisely personalized for health and delight, and aggregatable for population and market analyses. The IoF holds potential to provide infrastructure enabling companies to compete to deliver healthier, more sustainable, and more trustworthy foods. | 2019-04-19T04:17:01Z | null | 353.4 | 5,925 | null | 0.359662 | [

«Younger, more educated and more caring», this could be the headlines on the Hungarian Methodists after the 2011 census. At the Annual Conference, which took place from April 17-20, 2013, in Budapest-Óbuda, there was sincere thankfulness on the development of the Church. In a bold decision the takeover of a private school was approved.
The 2011 census brought bad news for the Churches as a whole. In the past 10 years the big Churches (Roman-Catholic, Reformed, Lutheran) lost about 30% of people considering themselves part of one of these Churches. On the other side, a surprising number of 2400 people claimed to be United Methodists, while the internal statistics only show 410 professing members or a constituency of about 1700 people (including children and friends). Even more surprising but reason for joy was the fact that the UMC has a higher percentage of young people (below 30), of people with higher education, and of Roma people than other traditional Churches have.
The leadership of Forrai Private School with more than 400 students (high school diploma and higher professional education) had contacted the leadership of the UMC some months ago. In Hungary there is a long tradition of schools being owned and administered by Churches and supported by the State. The leaders of Forrai School thoroughly acquainted itself with various Protestant Churches. They came to the conclusion that the UMC would fit best to the aims and values of the school. The worldwide nature of the UMC, the Social Principles and the credible and inspirational assistance for both everyday life and faith (e.g. through the Hungarian edition of «Upper Room») were particularly esteemed. The leaders of Forrai School browsed the Internet in order to read Methodist sermons, and they even visited Methodist worship services. Confident of the ministries of the Methodists they asked the UMC to assume ownership of the school. Following a thorough discussion the Annual Conference unanimously approved this bold step. At the worship service on Friday evening, not only the founding family and the school administration were present, but also more than 30 teachers.
In the same worship service two women and one man were commissioned as Local Pastors, and one man was ordained elder. Also in regard to a new generation of pastors, the UMC in Hungary is a juvenescent and dynamic Church.
The next meeting of the Annual Conference will take place from April 10-13, 2014. | 2019-04-19T02:34:50Z | null | 439.9 | 2,460 | null | 0.049593 | [

National Freedom Forum: The Repubican Party - Now What?
With the reelection of Socialist President Obama, the Republican Party must decide its course of action. It is very clear to this Blogger. Republicans that control the House of Representatives should keep enacting common sense budgets and laws that cut taxes and limit the growth of government in keeping with Republican ideals, whether they go anywhere or not. Republicans in the Senate should use whatever tactics they can, including the filibuster, to stop Obama's deficit spending and Socialist Schemes.
If this results in grid lock, Good. Republicans need to roll back 100 years of Socialist Creep; not do anything to help it along. We need to see meaningful spending cuts, even if it means a government shut down. We need Entitlement Reform to save Social Security and Medicare for future generations. Republicans should propose comprehensive Immigration Reform to demonstrate that Latinos have a place in the Republican Party. Republicans should do what they can to defund Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion mill and stop the EPA from destroying our economy. Finally, Republicans should do everything they can to protect the Second Amendment, our right to bear arms.
If Republicans turn into RINO's, it will be the end of the Republican Party. The Conservative Base of the Republican Party is sick and tired of compromise that advances Socialist Schemes. The Fiscal Cliff Deal will not only raise taxes on job creators, it will add $4 Trillion to the National Debt. Republicans should never have voted for the Fiscal Cliff Deal. They should have gone over the Cliff to get a better deal.
This Blogger will not donate another dime to any Republican candidate as long as John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are still in leadership. These dinosaurs have to go. The Young Guns and members of the Tea Party in Congress must take over the Republican Party if it is to have any future. We don't need RINO's and Socialists Light in the Republican Party. | 2019-04-26T16:19:29Z | null | 342.5 | 2,020 | null | 0 | []

The speakers will tackle a range of problematic issues that arise in practice ensuring participants leave with valuable examples that will assist them in their day-to-day work.
Shared ownership problems: "Yes, you own half the flat even as a tenant"
Co-ownership problems - whose interest is paramount?
O'Brien wife problems: "Sorry, the business owes £1million and the house must be sold"
Third party rights: "But I have been living here the whole time"

Gretchen Mol, Karen Pittman, Hari Dhillon and Josh Radnor in "Disgraced"
Anyone who believes we live in an unprejudiced society obviously hasn’t spent time wading through the anonymous vitriol of online comments on editorials addressing race, religion, ethnic identity and politics. And the popular liberal notion of a post-racial America gets debunked at double speed whenever radical Islam enters the discussion. Ayad Akhtar’s 2013 Pulitzer Prize winner Disgraced skillfully adopts the well-worn dramatic device of the imploding dinner party to scratch beneath the surface of multicultural harmony. First seen in New York in a lauded 2012 run as part of Lincoln Center Theater’s emerging artists program, this Broadway transfer is smart, spiky entertainment.
Recast in all but one secondary role, director Kimberly Senior’s production deftly modulates its way through the play’s seismic mood shifts — from complacent banter through mounting prickliness and incendiary animosity to shattered aftermath. However, to get the quibbles out of the way first, any flaws are most likely to be noticed by that small handful of the audience returning to Disgraced after seeing its superior previous incarnation.
The blistering intimacy of the smaller theater where it played uptown heightened the sense of danger as Akhtar’s characters traversed the drama’s intellectual, moral and social minefield. And in the pivotal role of Amir Kapoor, a well-heeled New York corporate lawyer who has distanced himself from his cultural roots and fudged his Pakistani Muslim origins for professional reasons, Aasif Mandvi (of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and HBO’s upcoming The Brink) was a revelation. The actor-comedian cloaked the character’s drive and hunger in defensive arrogance, while never losing sight of Amir’s vulnerability as his smooth composure gave way to the cold sweat of fear and regret.
That’s not to say that Hari Dhillon, who reprises the role after playing it in London last year, doesn’t generate sparks. Handsome, charismatic and physically self-possessed in a way that suggests a man genetically programmed for success, his Amir is a commanding presence.
Akhtar slyly introduces the lawyer posing for a portrait by his beautiful blonde artist wife Emily (Gretchen Mol). Amir wears the Masters of the Universe uniform of an expensively tailored jacket over a crisp white Charvet shirt and tie on top, with boxers, socks and bare muscular brown legs below. That image takes on amusing additional nuance when we learn that Emily’s inspiration for the picture is Velazquez’s Portrait of Juan de Pareja, in which the Spanish painter depicted his Moorish slave.
The chief weakness in Akhtar’s construction is the diagrammatic breakdown of the two couples who clash over fennel and anchovy salad in Amir and Emily’s apartment, designed by John Lee Beatty as a model of tasteful elegance and enviable terrace space. A South Asian, a WASP, a black woman and a Jew breaking bread together could be figures out of some Upper East Side melting-pot joke, and that may well be the playwright’s intention. But they occasionally become too-convenient mouthpieces for clashing cultural perspectives.
Across the table from Emily and Amir are his savvy law-firm colleague Jory (Karen Pittman, the excellent sole holdover from the play’s first New York staging) and her partner Isaac (Josh Radnor), a curator at the Whitney Museum. He’s putting together an exhibition that Emily hopes will include her work inspired by Islamic mosaic imagery. But the evening starts off on a strained note and goes downhill from there.
After the latest in a series of increasingly trying days at the office, Amir is testy and already half-tanked when the guests arrive. Three months earlier, at the urging of Emily and his nephew (Danny Ashok), who changed his name from Hussein Malik to Abe Jensen to make life easier, Amir reluctantly agreed to consult on a case against a local imam suspected of terrorist involvement. While he was not appearing in court as official counsel, his skin color — not to mention the name of his powerful firm — made him the go-to guy for a quote in the New York Times coverage. That mention didn’t sit well with the firm’s partners, and his perch on the corporate ladder has been wobbly ever since.
Both the thematic elements of Emily’s art and Amir’s association with the imam’s case nudge Islam into the dinner conversation. And each time Isaac chimes in with a display of liberal self-righteousness, the tightly wound Amir gets more aggressively opinionated about what he sees as the incompatibility of his ancestral faith with the modern world. Still, the lawyer’s escalating anger taps into an innate conflict beneath his assimilated exterior, exposed in his shocking admission of feeling “an unexpected blush of pride” at violent fundamentalist actions.
While the dinner party ends abruptly, the fallout continues over more personal revelations. Those are still reverberating several months later when the now-radicalized Abe stops by, bringing fresh legal troubles to the humbled Amir. It’s one of the play’s devilish ironies that the Americanized lawyer in a tight corner turns out to be the most honest character.
While Disgraced has its schematic aspects, the writing effectively observes the insidious tensions that ripple through both personal and professional relationships in post-9/11 America. The play is particularly incisive in its commentary on the volatility of certain words and talking points, rendering them unsafe in any conversation. Akhtar also provides a thoughtful examination of how denial and self-loathing can distort an individual’s sense of cultural identity.
Radnor (How I Met Your Mother) is a standout among the accomplished cast, walking a fine line between relaxed charm and smug condescension as a man unaccustomed to self-examination. Mol (Boardwalk Empire) makes less of an impression as the least sympathetic character, though Emily’s naivety appears intentional on the playwright’s part, demonstrating the obliviousness of many privileged whites to the societal bias experienced by people of color. Even in the case of her husband. Ashok and Pittman are terrific in small but significant roles.
If Disgraced has sacrificed some of its edge in the move to a commercial mainstage, it’s nonetheless a stimulating, sobering work from a distinctive new American playwright. | 2019-04-22T00:52:32Z | null | 323 | 6,414 | null | 0 | []

Willkommen to the Alpine village of Helen. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, about 112 kilometers north of Atlanta, the small town transformed itself from a sleepy, former lumber town to a Bavarian-inspired tourist destination.
In 1968, a group of local businessmen began the task of resurrecting the village, giving an Alpine look to the entire town by working with a local artist who had spent time in Germany and who drew the sketches of the new facades.
Since 1970, the Oktoberfest has been celebrated amongst the gingerbread-trimmed buildings. Organizers then and now are inspired by the world's largest funfair and beer festival in Munich, Germany, held since 1810.
The revitalized village of Helen with less than 500 inhabitants, some of German descent, now hosts up to two million visitors a year. Many return annually to the Festhalle festival hall for Oktoberfest, now in its 44th year. The celebration runs from September through the first weekend of November.
Lederhosen-clad celebrants, plenty of German beer, freshly cooked sausages and live polka bands help to make the Oktoberfest an authentic affair.
In addition to Oktoberfest, the town invites guests to celebrate other holidays throughout the year including ‘Fasching’, the name Germans give to carnival, and the Dropping of the Edelweiss event on New Year’s Eve. | 2019-04-26T06:00:56Z | null | 228.6 | 1,353 | null | 0 | []

Parenting is the toughest job on the planet. I say it all the time. We need to stop judging each other and start supporting each other. We are humans raising humans. We need to be respectful and honestly, mind our own business at times. There have been several times in my “Parenting Career” when I have felt judged and out-of-place. I know that my kids have everything that they need. Share this with someone who has been judged, or with a new Mom to show her some support. If we could support each other, we would have the help of a village to raise our children. No one should have to parent alone. This community is here to support all of the parents on this page. So please hang around, life is better with friends! If you are on a mobile device, click here to watch. Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you are there.

[263 U.S. 282, 283] Messrs. E. J. McCutchen, Warren Olney, Jr., and A. C. Greene, all of San Francisco, Cal., for plaintiff in error.
Mr. U. S. Webb, or San Francisco, Cal., for the State of California.
This suit was brought by the state of California to have transferred to it certain deposits in the Security Savings Bank which had been unclaimed for more than 20 years, and to have these declared escheat. The bank and the depositors were named as defendants. The bank was served personally and defended. The depositors were served by publication; but none of them appeared. 1 The [263 U.S. 282, 284] bank is a California corporation and has its only place of business there. The last known residences of the depositors are not stated. All the proceedings were in conformity with section 1273 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and section 15 of its Bank Act (Stat. 1915, c. 608, p. 1106). A judgment for the plaintiff was affirmed by the highest court of the state. State v. Security Savings Bank, 186 Cal. 419, 199 Pac. 791. The case is here on writ of error under section 237 of the Judicial Code as amended (42 Stat. 366, c. 54). The question for decision is whether the statutes violate rights guaranteed a state bank by the federal Constitution. 2 It is claimed that they are obnoxious to both the contract clause and the due process clause (Const. Amend. 14, 1).
The substantive provision of the legislation is this: If a bank account has not been added to or drawn upon by the depositor for more than 20 years, and no one claiming the money has, within that period, filed with the bank any notice showing his present residence, and the president or managing officer of the bank does not know that the depositor is alive, then the bank shall, upon entry of a judgment establishing these facts, deposit with the state treasurer the amount of the deposit and accumulations. The suit cannot be begun until after the expiration of the 20 years. The statute does not effect an immediate escheat upon the lapse of the 20 years. It provides for taking over the deposit when so adjudged in the action. A valid claim to a deposit duly made at any time prior to entry of the judgment prevents its transfer to the state. Mathews v. Savings Union Bank & Trust Co., 43 Cal. App. 45, 48, 184 Pac. 418; State v. Savings Union Bank & Trust Co., 186 Cal. 294, 298, 199 Pac. 26.
The unclaimed deposits are debts due by a California corporation with its place of business there. State v. Anglo & London Paris National Bank, 186 Cal. 746, 753, 200 Pac. 612; State v. Security Savings Bank, 186 Cal. 419, 423, 199 Pac. 791. The debts arose out of contracts made and to be performed there. Farmers' & Merchants' Bank v. Federal Reserve Bank, 262 U.S. 649, 660 , 43 S. Sup. Ct. 651. Thus the deposits are clearly intangible property within the state. 3 Over this intangible property the state has the same dominion that it has over tangible property. Pennington v. Fourth National Bank, 243 U.S. 269 , 37 Sup. Ct. 282, L. R. A. 1917F, 1159; Bank of Jasper v. First National Bank, 258 U.S. 112, 119 , 42 S. Sup. Ct. 202. It was settled in Provident Institution for Savings v. Malone, 221 U.S. 660 , 31 Sup. Ct. 661, 34 L. R. A. (N. S.) 1129, that, where the procedure is appropriate, neither the due process clause, nor any right of the bank under the contract clause, is violated by a law requiring it to pay over to the [263 U.S. 282, 286] state as depositary savings deposits which have long remained unclaimed. Compare Cunnius v. Reading School District, 198 U.S. 458 , 25 Sup. Ct. 721, 3 Ann. Cas. 1121; Blinn v. Nelson, 222 U.S. 1 , 32 Sup. Ct. 1, Ann. Cas. 1913B, 555. The contract of deposit does not give the banks a tontine right to retain the money in the event that it is not called for by the depositor. It gives the bank merely the right to use the depositor's money until called for by him or some other person duly authorized. If the deposit is turned over to the state in obedience to a valid law, the obligation of the bank to the depositor is discharged. Louisville & Nashville R. Co. v. Deer, 200 U.S. 176 , 26 Sup. Ct. 207. It is no concern of the bank's whether the state receives the money merely as depositary or takes it as an escheat.
The bank's main contention is that it is denied due process because, owing to defects in the prescribed procedure, depositors will not be bound by the judgment, and, hence, that payment to the state will not discharge the bank from its liability to them. The argument that there is no proper provision for service upon depositors or other claimants is this: If the proceeding is in personam, the law is invalid as to nonresidents of the state, since they are served only by publication; and it is invalid as to residents, because they are served by publication without a prior showing of the necessity for such service. If the proceeding is quasi in rem, the law is invalid as to all depositors and claimants, because there is no seizure of the res, or its equivalent, because the notice provided for is inadequate and unreasonable, and because it is binding only on parties to the action. If the proceeding is strictly in rem the law is invalid, because it does not provide for such seizure of the res, nor give reasonable notice to depositors and claimants.
Seizure of the deposit is effected by the personal service made upon the bank. Provident Institution for Savings v. Malone, 221 U.S. 660 , 31 Sup. Ct. 661, 34 L. R. A. (N. S.) 1129. Thereby the res is subjected [263 U.S. 282, 288] to the jurisdiction of the court. Compare Miller v. United States, 11 Wall. 268, 297, 298. Alexandria v. Fairfax, 95 U.S. 774 , 779. The service upon the bank has the same effect as had service of the injunction in Pennington v. Fourth National Bank, 243 U.S. 269 , 37 Sup. Ct. 282, L. R. A. 1917F, 1159; or the service upon the garnishee in Harris v. Balk, 198 U.S. 215, 223 , 25 S. Sup. Ct. 625, 3 Ann. Cas. 1084; or the application for administration of the debt due an absentee in Cunnius v. Reading School District, 198 U.S. 458 , 25 Sup. Ct. 721, 3 Ann. Cas. 1121; or the levy of the writ and return of the fact to the court on attachment of the real estate in Cooper v. Reynolds, 10 Wall. 308. The fact that the claim of the state to the deposit may be defeated by the appearance of the depositor or other claimant does not, as argued, prove that the deposit was not seized. An attachment of real estate is a seizure, although it may be dissolved by bankruptcy or otherwise.
The statutory service is reasonable, and the court is required to hear any one who may appear in the suit. The objections urged to the notice are not that insufficient time is allowed for entering an appearace, as in Roller v. Holly, 176 U.S. 398 , 20 Sup. Ct. 410; and Goodrich v. Ferris, 214 U.S. 71 , 29 Sup. Ct. 580; or that the contents of the notice fail to convey the required information, as in Grannis v. Ordean, 234 U.S. 385 , 34 Sup. Ct. 779. The objections taken are to the order and the place of publication. It is urged that the notice is insufficient, because service may not be made by publication until it has been shown by affidavit that personal service is impossible or impractical. Such an affidavit is a common requirement in statutes providing for service by publication on absent defendants. Compare Romig v. Gillett, 187 U.S. 111 , 23 Sup. Ct. 40; Jacob v. Roberts, 223 U.S. 261 , 32 Sup. Ct. 303. But it is not constitutionally indispensable. The reason for requiring the affidavit is that ordinarily personal service would be more likely to acquaint a defendant with the pendency of the suit. But here the general facts which underlie the legislation establish the futilty of such a requirement. [263 U.S. 282, 289] It may be that in California banks usually endeavor to ascertain the whereabouts of depositors whose accounts have remained dormant for many years. The statute applies only to deposits in the name of a person who is not known to the president or managing officer of the bank to be alive, whose account has not been added to or drawn upon for 20 years, and who has not filed within that time any notice or claim giving his then residence. The Legislature evidently assumed that it would be impossible to serve such depositors personally. The Supreme Court of the state held that the Legislature was warranted in this assumption. The owners of the deposits were, therefore, treated like persons unknown. Compare Leigh v. Green, 193 U.S. 79 , 24 Sup. Ct. 390. We cannot say that the view entertained by the Legislature and the state courts was so unreasonable as to constitute a denial of due process.
It is further argued that the publication prescribed is not reasonable notice, because it is made in Sacramento county, instead of in the county in which the bank is located. The Legislature apparently assumed that publication in Sacramento county would be more likely to attract the attention of the depositor, or of those claiming under him, than publication in the city in which the bank was located. Support for that opinion may be found in the statutes which have required savings banks (and later all banks) to publish annually in a newspaper of the city in which it is located a statement showing the amount of each deposit therein, the name and last known residence of each depositor, and the fact of his death, if known, in all cases where the depositor has not made a deposit or withdrawal for 10 years next preceding, unless the depositor is known to be living or the deposit is less than $50. Stats. 1893, p. 183; Stats. 1897, p. 27; Civil Code, 583b. Such annual publications, [263 U.S. 282, 290] if seen, would be apt to remind a depositor of his account, even if he were not named therein. And if he had died, it might serve as a reminder, or as a suggestion, to his next of kin. The fact that, after nine or more such publications in the local newspaper, a deposit remains unclaimed, affords the Legislature some basis for thinking that the further publication provided for in these proceedings would be more apt to accomplish the purpose of actual service, if made in the county in which the state capital is located. The highest court of the state deemed the prescribed publication in Sacramento county reasonable notice. We have no ground for saying that it was not. Obviously the question 'is one of local experience, on which this court ought to be very slow to declare that the state Legislature was wrong in its facts' or abused its discretion. Patsone v. Pennsylvania, 232 U.S. 138, 144 , 34 S. Sup. Ct. 281; Adams v. Milwaukee. 228 U.S. 572, 583 , 33 S. Sup. Ct. 610.
In the opinion below it was suggested that the statute may be construed as permitting a depositor, although named as defendant in the Attorney General's suit, to make claim as against the state, under section 1272, at any time within the 5 years (or the extended period) after final judgment, if he did not appear in the suit. As no depositor had appeared, the point was not passed upon; and the state court expressly left open the rights of depositors and their privies in respect to escheat. State v. Security Savings Bank, 186 Cal. 419, 431, 199 Pac. 791. We have no occasion to consider them.
[ Footnote 1 ] As to two depositors originally named as defendants a dismissal was entered by stipulation-as to one, because it appeared that the deposit had not been unclaimed for the 20 years; as to the other, because a claim had been made by an administrator, since the expiration of the 20 years.
[ Footnote 2 ] That the statutes are invalid as applied to national banks was settled in First National Bank v. California, 262 U.S. 366 , 43 Sup. Ct. 602.

Vegetable farmers and interested home gardeners are invited to attend the UW Organic Vegetable Variety Trials Field Day, set for Thursday, Aug. 24 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s West Madison Agricultural Research Station. This free, interactive event, which runs from 2:00 – 5:30 p.m., highlights the many organic vegetable variety trials being conducted on the station’s 30 acres of certified organic land.
“This is a chance for growers to see new vegetable varieties in the field and talk directly to the plant breeders and seed companies doing the development work—to learn what’s coming and to make their priorities known,” says event organizer Julie Dawson, a UW-Madison assistant professor of horticulture and UW-Extension urban and regional food systems specialist.
Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the station’s organic vegetable variety trials, see new varieties developed for organic systems and talk to UW-Madison/UW-Extension plant breeders and seed companies about what’s in the pipeline. Seed companies that will be present include High Mowing Organic Seeds, Johnny’s Selected Seeds, PanAmerican Seeds, Seed Savers Exchange and Vitalis Organic Seeds.
The field day will also highlight the progress of the Seed to Kitchen Collaborative project, a UW-Madison-led collaboration among area chefs, farmers and plant breeders to develop improved vegetable varieties with characteristics important to local food systems. These trials include beets, carrots, cucumber, culinary corn, kale, greens, melons, onions, peppers (sweet and hot), winter squash, potatoes and tomatoes (high tunnel and field grown).
Featured variety trials also include those being grown as part of the Northern Organic Vegetable Improvement Collaborative, which focuses on breeding new varieties and identify the best performing existing varieties of spinach, sweet corn, bell peppers, acorn and delicata squash, cabbage and tomatoes.
The field day will be followed by the third annual Farm to Flavor Dinner at the Discovery Building on the UW-Madison campus. The dinner features dishes prepared by Madison-area chefs using some of the top varieties from the various trials. Lane Selman from the Culinary Breeding Network in Portland, Oregon will be the keynote speaker. Tickets are required for the dinner and are available at http://go.wisc.edu/farmtoflavor.
West Madison Agricultural Research Station is located at 8502 Mineral Point Road, Verona, Wisconsin. The Discovery Building is located at 330 North Orchard Street, Madison, Wisconsin.
For more information about the field day and the Farm to Flavor Dinner, visit dawson.horticulture.wisc.edu. Questions can be directed to Julie Dawson at [email protected].

This is Clary woken up relax she wasn't back home in new York City , now Clary finally meets her real brother Johnathan in the fresh , Clary is very confused what in front of her . Then Johnathan told her we are bonded with a spell that lilyth left for us . So pretty much Clary is stock with her real brother for a long time and she not happy nope . Jace is missing her so much 😿 and most of all Isabel , now everyone at the instrute knows Clary is died not alive anymore . The leader of the shadow hunters said let's make memorial service for her .
:) today I was vlogging about what was doing earlier in the morning 😊 I wanted to share with you 💗 make sure like comment suscribe let's get to 1000 likes today 😍 I need ur guys help to do that !!
Cave spider is a hybrid between a spider and a cricket they love to live in basements and warm Clements where the air moist . So we found one ☝ in my cousin Victoria laundry bag was so scary 😱 to tip it . Then when I put the flashlight near it ! I started to jump and scream so did my cousin Victoria on top of the washer machine . Because me and her are afraid of bugs like no joke . (Aka: me) I am afraid of snakes , spiders , crickets , cave spiders , centerpeade it makes my body shake and I start to cry 😭 my body starts getting itching , chills , my heart goes in my stomach when a bug makes me jump this is real phobia I have .
;) yes I am a Alto and this is the real me 🎤 u hear 👂 📣 singing for real I'm not faking nope I'm not .
:) I think @jameswang should direct this movie 🎥 it's name The Room is similar to the conjuring trilogy . More scary 😱 it's alot of parmonal stuff we put in the movies and @lorenwarren should be apart of it also see is actually real place or something .
Every year when spring comes around my lovely nana wants me and Cynthia to rake the leaves 🍂🍁🍃 in our backyard and I hate doing it ! Because I have very bad seasonal allergies and when I go near the leaves I start snizzy like crazy and my nose runs have running eyes plus more annoying mine itching spasms get randomly . This is why my nana should hired a professional to do it or have my cousins do it they are the only ones don't do nothing 😢 who rake the leaves me, Cynthia, my nana three people . | 2019-04-24T16:56:54Z | null | 1,250 | 2,240 | null | 0 | []

Add a little gold to anything and it makes it just a little more fabulous! These printable bottle tags do just that. Place these on a bottle of wine, sparkling cider, champagne or a couple of beers!
I don’t drink much, it makes me super duper warm and I usually hive out — so it’s not something I make a habit of. I prefer a diet coke, ginger ale, sparkling cider, water, etc.
If I do enjoy a glass of wine on occasion, I prefer Prosecco (my new fave since our trip to Italy), Marco Negri, Pinot Grigio or Sangria. I can’t drink reds, they give me headaches. Guess what my husbands favorite wine is? Cabernet Sauvignon (a red). Opposites attract in every sense of the word. HA!
What I love about these printable bottle tags is their versatility! You can basically use them on anything and for any celebration. Since New Years is quickly approaching — add a tag to a bottle of wine or liter of Diet Coke before you head out to the NYE parties.
After the New Years, keep this idea in your back pocket to celebrate an engagement, house warming, anniversary, birthday and more! Did I mention versatility?
The colors and the designs are very artsy, almost modern (which if far from my style), but the pattern caught my eye and I just loved the different colors. All of the splashes of gold are pretty fantastic, right?
Each wine bottle hang tag is is sized at 3″x 7″. Simply print, cut, fold on the fold line (see below) and attach to your bottle of choice! Voila.
Here’s to celebrations, hostess gifts and memories!
psst! Don’t forget to pin this awesomeness. | 2019-04-19T22:12:34Z | null | 663 | 1,555 | null | 0 | []

When the gargantuan Harmony of the Seas slips out of Southampton docks on Sunday afternoon on its first commercial voyage, the 16-deck-high floating city will switch off its auxiliary engines, fire up its three giant diesels and head to the open sea.
But while the 6,780 passengers and 2,100 crew on the largest cruise ship in the world wave goodbye to England, many people left behind in Southampton say they will be glad to see it go. They complain that air pollution from such nautical behemoths is getting worse every year as cruising becomes the fastest growing sector of the mass tourism industry and as ships get bigger and bigger.
The Harmony, owned by Royal Caribbean, has two four-storey high 16-cylinder Wärtsilä engines which would, at full power, each burn 1,377 US gallons of fuel an hour, or about 66,000 gallons a day of some of the most polluting diesel fuel in the world.
In port, and close to US and some European coasts, the Harmony must burn low sulphur fuel or use abatement technologies. But, says Colin MacQueen, who lives around 400 yards from the docks and is a member of new environment group Southampton Clean Air, the fumes from cruise liners and bulk cargo ships are “definitely” contributing to Southampton’s highly polluted air.
“The liners pollute, but the road traffic that they and the cargo ships generate is also huge,” he adds.
Royal Caribbean, the US owners of the Harmony of the Seas, said that the latest and most efficient pollution control systems were used and that the ship met all legal requirements.
Industry body Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) added that companies had “invested significantly over the last decade to develop new technologies to help reduce air emissions”.
But marine pollution analysts in Germany and Brussels said that such a large ship would probably burn at least 150 tonnes of fuel a day, and emit more sulphur than several million cars, more NO2 gas than all the traffic passing through a medium-sized town and more particulate emissions than thousands of London buses.
According to leading independent German pollution analyst Axel Friedrich, a single large cruise ship will emit over five tonnes of NOX emissions, and 450kg of ultra fine particles a day.
“Air pollution from international shipping accounts for around 50,000 premature deaths per year in Europe alone, at an annual cost to society of more than €58bn [ $65bn],” says the group on its website.
Nabu has measured pollution in large German ports and found high concentrations of pollutants. “Heavy fuel oil can contain 3,500 times more sulphur than diesel that is used for land traffic vehicles. Ships do not have exhaust abatement technologies like particulate filters that are standard on passenger cars and lorries,” says Rieger.
Southampton, which has Britain’s second largest container port and is Europe’s busiest cruise terminal, is one of nine UK cities cited by the World Health Organisation as breaching air quality guidelines even though it has little manufacturing.
According to CLIA, the cruise ship industry is now one of the fastest growing sectors in the mass tourism market, with 24 million passengers expected to sail in 2016, compared to 15 million in 2006 and just 1.4 million in 1980.
“The industry shows no signs of slowing down. It generated $119.9bn (£83bn) in total output worldwide in 2015, supporting 939,232 full-time equivalent jobs,” said a spokesman.
“The luxury sector is seeing the most amazing growth that it has ever seen in its history,” said Larry Pimentel, president of Azamara club cruises.
• This article was amended on 23 May 2016. An earlier version said the Harmony of the Seas had three 16-cylinder engines which, if running at full power, would burn 96,000 US gallons of fuel a day. It has two such engines which together would burn about 66,000 US gallons of fuel a day if running at full power, and is understood to have four 12 cylinder engines. The article also said the ship must burn low-sulphur fuel in port and close to some coasts; it can also use abatement technologies to meet emissions guidelines.
Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has approved a national plan aimed at controlling the environmental impacts of shipping through the enhancement of environmental inspections at the country’s ports, as well as an increase in officials and civil servants’ capacities in the state’s maritime management agencies, local media reports.
With the goal of fully implementing regulations outlined in the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO’s) MARPOL Annexes III, IV, V and VI of the L, the plan will see relevant agencies conduct a review, beginning this year 2016 and running until 2020, of legal documents regarding the prevention of pollution linked to shipping, as well as the appropriate management of discharge from maritime activities.
Further, the plan will facilitate regular vessel inspections that align with regulations contained in Annexes III, IV, V and VI – a process that is said to be intended to fulfill the country’s responsibility in relation to ships registered out of Vietnam – and will work to enhance Vietnamese officials’ capacity in dealing with maritime accidents.
The plan also expresses the intention to increase Vietnam’s cooperation with relevant international organisations and other countries within the region, improving information exchange, technical assistance, personnel training, and technology transfer relating to the implementation of the IMO regulations.
Until 2030, a study will be conducted under the plan to examine viable investment mechanisms and policies for waste collection systems to be used at sea ports, as well as effective and regulation compliant equipment to monitor sewage and garbage discharged by ships.
In March, an inauguration ceremony was held for Vietnam’s international seaport at Cam Ranh Bay, marking the completion of its first phase of construction as part of a national push to transform the port into one of the country’s top deep water ports, and a regional hub for maritime service, including bunkering.
Air pollution is an insidious thing. The particulate matter that streams out of tailpipes and power plants contains an extensive list of contaminants—everything from carcinogens to endocrine-disrupting compounds—in addition to the tiny specks of soot we’ve come to associate with the higher rates of asthma and other respiratory disorders seen in populations that live near major highways or industrial facilities. Basically, every part of it is bad for you, and researchers just found two more toxins to add to the list: nickel and vanadium.
According to as-yet-unpublished research that is being presented Tuesday at the American Thoracic Society’s 2016 international conference, the nickel and vanadium found in the exceptionally fine-grained class of air pollution called PM2.5 damages children’s developing lungs. And in Southern California, where the research was conducted, these toxins mainly appear in the air pollution that comes from shipping vessels.
For this latest research, Robert Urman, a researcher from the University of Southern California, and his co-authors assessed health records from 1,911 elementary school children from various communities in Southern California. Among them, the highest levels of nickel and vanadium in the air were found in Long Beach, California, where cargo chips and other vessels burn fuel oil while leaving and entering the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, which combined is the largest seaport in the United States.
“When we analyzed the data, we found that teenaged children in the most polluted communities had an estimated decrease of approximately four percent in their lung function compared to similar children in the least polluted communities,” Urman said in a statement.
Cargo ships are among the leading sources of pollution on the planet. Starting in 2020, however, stricter sulfur emission standards will take effect. A low-cost solution for reaching the new targets may come from an EPFL start-up, which is developing a nanostructured filter for use in a ship’s exhaust stacks.
Around 55,000 cargo ships ply the oceans every day, powered by a fuel that is dirtier than diesel. And owing to lax standards, maritime transport has emerged as one of the leading emitters – alongside air transport – of nitrogen oxide and sulfur. But the International Maritime Organization has enacted tighter emission limits, with new standards set to take effect in 2020. In response, an EPFL start-up is developing a low-cost and eco-friendly solution: a filter that can be installed in the ships’ exhaust stacks. The start-up, Daphne Technology, could do well on this massive market.
Under laboratory conditions, the nanostructured filter is able to cut sulfur emissions to below 1% and nitrogen oxide emissions to 15% of the current standards. This is a major improvement, seeing as the new standards will require an approximately 14% reduction in sulfur emissions.
Manufacturing the filters is similar to manufacturing solar cells. A thin metal plate – titanium in this case – is nanostructured in order to increase its surface area, and a number of substances are deposited in extremely thin layers. The plates are then placed vertically and evenly spaced, creating channels through which the toxic gases travel. The gases are captured by the nanostructured surfaces. This approach is considered eco-friendly because the substances in the filter are designed to be recycled. And the exhaust gas itself becomes inert and could be used in a variety of products, such as fertilizer.
The main challenges now are to figure out a way to make these filters on large surfaces, and to bring down the cost. It was at EPFL’s Swiss Plasma Center that researcher Mario Michan found a machine that he could modify to meet his needs: it uses plasma to deposit thin layers of substances. The next step is to produce a prototype that can be tested under real-world conditions.
The idea to solve the problem of toxic gas emissions came to the researcher after working on merchant freighters while completing his Masters in microtechnology. It took several years, some techniques he picked up in the various labs in which he worked, and a few patents for Michan to make headway on his project. It was while he was working in another field at CERN and observing the technologies used to coat the inside of particle accelerators that he discovered a process needed for his original concept. An EPFL patent tying together the various aspects of the technology and several manufacturing secrets should be filed this year. | 2019-04-20T20:58:07Z | null | 363 | 10,645 | null | 0.304838 | [
