John Clague (1928–2004) was an American artist and sculptor.

Early life
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Clague studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art, earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1956 under Edris Eckhardt, Walter Sinz, Walter Midner, John Bergschneider, Julius Schmidt, and William McVey. He was awarded The Yale/Norfolk Fellowship and, after graduation, spent a year in Europe as a Catherwood Foundation Traveling Fellow. Clague taught sculpture at Oberlin College (1957–1961), and at the Cleveland Institute of Art (1956–1971), becoming chairman of the institute's sculpture department.

Career
Clague's sculptures have been exhibited in the Whitney Museum of American Art, and in numerous "May Shows" at the Cleveland Museum of Art. He was awarded the Cleveland Arts Prize in 1967. He is represented in the permanent collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art by six of his sculptures, including his 1960 bronze "Flower of Erebus" and his 1963 plexiglas "Progression in Black and White".  He also has exhibits in the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, the University of Massachusetts, and the Williams College Museum of Art. His work is documented in the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

Clague is best known for these large sculptures: abstract forms in bronze, steel, and fiberglass. He used light, color and high polish to alter surface texture creating patterns that change as one walks around. Some of his works also produce sound as they gently move.

'Protect Cooper Hospital staff', sister appeals to PM Modi after new claim on Sushant's death – Video
Fun Addah
The case of Sushant Singh Rajput's death has once again come up for discussion. Rupkumar Shah, the mortuary staff member of Cooper Hospital, has claimed that Sushant's death was not a suicide but a murder. In such a situation, Sushant's sister Shweta Singh Kirti has demanded Prime Minister Modi regarding the security of Roopkumar.
A new twist has come in the case of the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The member of the team that did the post-mortem of the actor has made a big claim. Sushant's post-mortem was done in June 2020 at Cooper Hospital. During that time, it was said that no marks were found on the actor's body. This case seems to be of suicide. Rupkumar Shah, the mortuary staff member of Cooper Hospital, has claimed that Sushant's death was not a suicide but a murder. In such a situation, Sushant's sister Shweta Singh Kirti has demanded for Roopkumar's safety.
'Protect Cooper Hospital staff', Sushant's sister Shweta Singh Kirti appeals to PM
A video of Roopkumar Shah is going viral on social media. In the video, Rupkumar Shah is saying, 'When Sushant Singh Rajput died, we received 5 bodies for post-mortem at Cooper Hospital. One of them was a VIP body. When we went to do the post-mortem, we came to know that this body belonged to Sushant. There were many marks on his body. There were also two-three marks on the neck.
We have to make sure safety of RoopKumar Shah is insured. 🙏 CBI Make SSRCase TimeBound @narendramodi @AmitShah #SushantSinghRajput https://t.co/suY8sCuwrU

Shweta Singh Kirti, sister of Sushant Singh Rajput tweeted after the video went viral. Tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, Shweta wrote, 'We have to make sure safety of RoopKumar Shah is insured. CBI Make SSRCase TimeBound
Please tell that Rupkumar Shah, a staff member of Cooper Hospital, says that Sushant's body was looking different. I went to my senior and said that it does not appear to be a case of suicide. The mark on Sushant's neck did not seem to be hanging from the noose. Looking at him, it seemed that the mark was like what happens after leaving the agony. Shah also says that when he told this to his senior, he ignored it and said that it will be discussed in the talk.
Sushant's death mystery not solved
Now what happens after this big claim, it will be a matter to be seen. Sushant Singh Rajput died on 14 June 2020. His body was found hanging in his apartment in Bandra, Mumbai. Even today the mystery of Sushant's death has not been solved.

Closing the gender gap in agriculture will ensure economic equity for all
The word 'farmer' typically evokes a picture of a man, not a woman. World Food Day (October 16) follows International Day of Rural Women (October 15), drawing attention to how women farmers are indispensable to our food security. The UN's Food and Agricultural Organization says that 43 per cent of the global agriculture workforce, and 50 per cent of that in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, are women.
If women had the same access to productive resources as men, they could increase yields on their farms by 20-30 per cent.
However, worldwide, every development indicator reveals that rural women fare worse than rural men and urban women, and that they disproportionately experience poverty, exclusion and the effects of climate change.
Why close gender gap?
Two primary motivators to close the gender gap in agriculture are equality and efficiency. These goals are not mutually exclusive, but mutually reinforcing.
A woman who is better-informed about farming grows more and earns more. One billion of the world's poor live in rural areas. Eighty per cent of what we eat is produced by smallholders. In fact, farming supports 2.5 billion lives in Asia and Africa. Women farmers may be as productive and enterprising as their male counterparts, but are less able to access land, credit, agricultural inputs and markets, and they get lower prices for their crops. This should change. Control over and ownership of assets are critical components of a farmer's well-being. Despite accounting for half of the workforce in agriculture, less than 10 per cent of women farmers are land owners. As the land owner takes most of the decisions on the land, a woman working on the land is clearly the one with less power, contributing to the gender inequality.
Gender and markets
The gender gap exists in access to markets, too. Many women participate in labour markets as wage workers on farms or as processors and traders along the agricultural value chain, but much of their work is informal or unpaid, and goes unrecorded.
There is a keen interest among agricultural development policy circles in enhancing value chains as a means of raising incomes. But most approaches to value-chain development do not address how to organise markets in gender-equitable ways. Improving women's participation in agricultural value chains can help ensure steady flow of quality goods, improve efficiency of business, ensure dignity of work and economic equity for all, and lead to broad-based economic growth.
Kudumbashree in Kerala and SERP (Society For Elimination of Rural Poverty) in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, which work with 4 million and 10 million farmers, respectively, have shown that marketing models with women can work at scale.
UN Women expects 124 countries to cut their Budgets this year alone, eroding social protection measures and essential services on which many rural women and girls depend. It is a matter of political will to change this. But what can we do about it?
Better data: Accurate, up-to-date, region-specific information and analysis is necessary for good gender-aware agricultural policy-making. Data is needed to better understand gender roles in agriculture and how they change over time and in response to new opportunities.
Policy change: All existing agricultural land held by men should be transferred from single ownership to joint ownership with the women in the family. Today, such transfer of land attracts payment towards property registration fees and taxes — stamp duty — of about 10 per cent. This should be waived and such transfers should be made mandatory. Without this, agricultural subsidies should not be granted .
Women farmer centricity: We should reimagine agriculture to make it women-friendly. Sprayers should be made light-weight. Tractors should be made convenient for women to drive. Ultimately, women should be nurtured to be farm entrepreneurs, not just farm labourers.

-Been given my Mom's Zenith X938 consule and now bringing it home to live with me. The record player still works. The AM/FM does not come on or light up when turned on. It's prob a 8.5/10 on the finish...has about a nickel-sized ding on the lid and a couple light cat claw scratches on the top. Haven't cleaned it up yet. Looking to find someone around the KC area to go thru it. Thing is 70" long. Console was purchased new in ?'67?. CANNOT FIND the manuals/schematics to go with it. Anyone give me any info on manuals/schematics, the set itself, separate amp, size of amp, etc., quality of record player, needle info? Regards and Thanks!
-As soon as I acquired this machine I did go to fb and joined a couple of groups which discuss older consoles. What I have been informed of so far...Zenith X938: 'X' a '67 model. Included are two attachments.
-My personal present setup is '88 era NAD 1300 and 2600, NAD tuner, big screen TV, Samsung dvd/ w/USB port for thumbdrive and stand alone hard drive going into Klipsch Chorus, forte' and Heresy.
I have been using Howard's for various finish-improvement projects. It did a good job on the flood-affected bottom 10" of my ca. 1940 Sparton console, and on a gate-leg table I use in my office for meeting people. But it performed best of all on the Maggie FM-33 radio that I posted about yesterday. Wow, from faded glory to rich walnut, in two applications.
Used the Howards restorafinish and feed and wax on the console. Makes a good difference!


A key driver in formalising the MGI network is our need to implement a rigorous quality system, which is not allowed in an association or alliance. This will require significant expenditure from our existing budget and some modest charges to network members. So why is it so important?
To offer worldwide coverage to clients.
To enhance reputation through membership of a global organisation.
Both of these require reliable, provable quality among members. We do not have that now because we have no global quality systems. The system we are proposing for the network will involve continuous self review, monitoring and regular external review. It will be set up and supervised by one of the world's leading experts on audit quality and networks.
The effect on quality around the world will be great, especially in countries where quality review is weak or non-existent – at least as great as the major improvements resulting from the implementation of rigorous quality and independence monitoring and review in North America and Europe in the last decade.
If you send business abroad you need to be sure of the quality of the firm looking after your precious client. If you tell the world you are a member of MGI, you want be able to say, honestly, that "MGI means quality".
Quality in MGI is about improving client service, reputation, competitiveness…your business. Why would you not want MGI to have an effective quality system?
PS I will be publishing a detailed network implementation plan in the coming weeks. This will contain important information about the quality system, costs and procedures..

Q: How to copy SVN repository as a folder to another repository with history I have 2 repositories
http://mysnv/svn/proj1/trunk

*

*proj1_folder1

*proj1_folder2

and
http://mysnv/svn/proj2/trunk

*

*proj2_folder1

*proj2_folder2

How can I copy the proj2 with history to be a folder in the trunk of proj1 to get the following result
http://mysnv/svn/proj1/trunk

*

*proj1_folder1

*proj1_folder2

*proj2

*

*proj2_folder1

*proj2_folder2

Actually what I want to do is to have only one SVN repository with all the content of proj2 and the history in the folder proj2 in http://mysnv/svn/proj1/trunk
This is the SVN version I'm using:

svn, version 1.7.8 (r1419691)

I've found this blog, but the svn merge is unclear to me. Where is it located ./foo/trunk:proj1?
My svn folder structure is like /data/svn/repos/ and I do not see the trunk folder.
I'm looking for a command to make the copy, without influencing my main project proj1.

A: Physical aggregation

*

*Create dumps of needed paths from proj2 repository (svnadmin dump | svndumpfilter --include --include > dump or svnrdump URL-proj2_folder1 > dump1 & svnrdump URL-proj2_folder1 > dump2)

*Load dump(s) into proj1 with changed parent folder (svnadmin load --parent-dir trunk < dump)

*Check presence of proj2_folder1's and proj2_folder2's data under proj1/trunk/trunk (second trunk is base path in dump of repo1)

*Rename child trunk-folder into proj2 (svn mv)

Sample of loading svnrdump-ed trunk into new repo with parent dir trunk/Project1

Logical aggregation

*

*Create proj1/trunk/proj2 folder

*Create two svn:externals (directory-type) inside proj2: proj2_folder1 linked to proj2/trunk/proj2_folder1
and proj2_folder2 linked to proj2/trunk/proj2_folder2

FIGURE 10. This program allows our omni-wheeled NXT to follow a wall.
operating system over a Bluetooth link (refer to LEGO's documentation for information on establishing the wireless link). Figure 9 shows a simple RobotBASIC function for controlling all three NXT motors.
Larger parameters increase the motor speeds and negative numbers reverse the directions. You could create a similar routine with nearly any language capable of establishing a Bluetooth connection with the LEGO robot.
The function in Figure 9 is only one of many functions we created as a library for experimenting with an NXT robot equipped with omni wheels. For example, the library provides functions to turn the robot and to move it forward. When using the library, the variable LegoDir specifies which of the six possible orientations (see Figure 3) should be considered the robot's forward direction. The default is 0 which points our robot's range sensor forward.
The program in Figure 10 demonstrates the flexibility of using omni wheels. The program moves the robot forward until a wall is encountered at five inches. Once the wall is found, the robot turns 30 degrees to the right and chooses a new LegoDir of 1 — ideally making the robot somewhat parallel with the wall. The key to this direction change is that the ultrasonic range sensor now angles leftward (instead of forward, as it does for direction 0), allowing the sensor to be used to determine the distance to the wall or obstacle to the left of the robot.
Additional library routines are used to follow the contour of the wall by making the robot slide side to side when the robot is too close or too far from the wall. Each of the library routines perform their actions based on the current value of LegoDir. This simply means that routines like LegoForward and LegoSlideRight will move the robot as expected, based on the current orientation specified by LegoDir.
When the program in Figure 10 executes, the robot slides gracefully along the wall, rather than turning as a more conventional robot might do. Experimenting with parameters such as motor speed and the distance to move toward or away from the wall can fine-tune the robot's behavior.

She pours a cup of tea taking it to her comfortable chair in the lounge. It faces high, wide windows that open onto the garden.
Beyond the fence distant roof tops rise to vast blue sky where, today, early morning puffs of cloud drift lazily eastwards.
As she sips her tea she watches cheery sparrows and bossy blackbirds gobbling bread scraps that earlier she has tossed onto the lawn. Sunshine casts dappled shadows across the grass, a soft breeze stirs the crab apple tree and teases the roses climbing along the fence. There is a sweetness to the morning. Her world has been renewed by the quiet of the night just passed.
Time spent here each day has become a ritual. It is her leisure half hour when her mind and spirit are refreshed.
She closes her eyes. At once she is aware of her breathing, in and out, in and out. Muscles relax, her mind is stilled.
Enveloped in timeless space she listens to the silence, deep, rich and healing. It embraces her in a cocoon of peace. Sometimes she remembers, as from far away, an event from the past or a need for tomorrow. The thoughts are of no consequence; she pushes them away and focuses again on her breathing. On rare occasions she is filled with wonder at this simple act. Constant, regular, vital, through all the minutes and hours and days of her life it never ceases.
There was a moment, long ago and never recaptured, that filled her with an awe beyond words. As she breathed she became aware that all creatures, all life breathed with her. She, creator and creation were one – a unique and beautiful gift that defies all thanks.
Today there is no such moment, but the silence surrounds her and takes her into itself. As she absorbs the nothingness of time she becomes lost in the wonder of creation. The infinite worlds of galaxies, of stars and of endless universe where our tiny planet has its pre-planned space is more than human understanding can imagine. Yet, her own small yard teems with life, each tiny seed and blade of grass and insect going about living and pro-creating and dying, united by the bond of the Breath of Life.
But with inevitable persistence reality taps at the door of her mind. The thread that ties her to the silence of the room and to her innermost being is broken. She sighs, and, as she does every day, ponders on those she loves to wish them all a blessed day, that all will be well as they travel the road of life.
She opens her eyes. Last night's dew has left sparkling jewellery on flower and leaf; sunlight makes magic in the garden. With enthusiastic energy a little bee dives headlong into the throat of a lily flower. In the distance a car door slams. High heels clip-clop on the yard next door; someone calls a greeting, intruding on the peace.
Today is beginning. She feels ready for what it may bring. What will happen will happen.


Thanksgiving Day has come and your table is heaped with food – a sweet pumpkin cake, a turkey with cranberry sauce, bowls of apples and oranges, nuts, chestnuts, and juicy corn on the cob. These exquisite delicacies make your mouth water!
Fabulously beautiful autumn scenery outside your window, lovely decorations, and cozy family atmosphere add color to this festive diversity. Play this free puzzle game now!


from the backdrop. No sunlight, very cloudy.
November 30, 2009 – To be honest, today sort of got away from me. It's been raining and dreary, a true November day, and I was interrupted by too many things to recount – phone calls, business stuff, farm chores. I made a bit of headway on the short story, but felt a bit down, so I'm quitting, heading to Manchester for dinner and a visit to the Image Loft to check on my photos for the January 9 photo show. Be back at it tomorrow, posting more tonight. The photo was good for today.

JupiterResearch analyst wouldn't be shocked to see Intel-based Mac debut in January 2006
Wednesday, November 9, 2005 6:22 pm 23 Comments
"Based on the availability of Intel hardware and its own software, analysts speculate the Apple-Intel systems could come out as soon as the second week of January, when the Macworld Conference and Expo arrives in San Francisco," John G. Spooner and Daniel Drew Turner report for eWeek. "'It wouldn't shock me if Steve Jobs would have one of these models in January for Macworld,' where he traditionally takes the stage for the opening keynote address, said Joe Wilcox, analyst with JupiterResearch."
Spooner and Turner report, "Intel, of Santa Clara, Calif., will officially launch its Napa platform, a collection of notebook chips that Apple has been widely expected to adopt at least in part, the week prior to Macworld. Intel will use the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas—where its CEO, Paul Otellini, will give a keynote speech—to showcase Napa, which is essentially the latest version of its Centrino chip bundle for wireless notebooks, and to discuss its Viiv brand for home computers, sources familiar with its plans said."
"Although Apple might not use the Napa as a whole, analysts expect it to adopt Yonah, the forthcoming dual-core capable Pentium M processor, in its portables and possibly in its Mac Mini," Spooner and Turner report. "Apple doesn't appear to be headed for Intel on its professional side right away. Apple recently fitted its Power Mac line with new dual-core PowerPC 970MP chips from IBM, which it says gives the machines a significant bump in performance. The company also updated its PowerBook line with higher-resolution screens and stronger batteries."

Duh. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Steve will debut MacIntels at MacWorld even if they don't ship in quantity for a month or so after the show. Really, what else would he be debuting?
MDN Magic Word: "sales" It's all about the sales.
Actually, I don't think there is anything given about Steve launching Intel Macs in January. It would be a huge coup for Apple if it happens, but the Mac community shouldn't fall into the usual trap of expecting the "obvious" (like the $99 iPod mini) and then getting disappointed because perspective has been all skewed by unsupported expectations.
So, my attitude is, hope for a miracle at MacWorld, but progress is really the name of the game.
I wouldn't doubt it would be prone to scratches.
I wish Apple would update all their Macs to x86 at once. If they do it step by step the consumer models will be slowed down to make the older generation professional lines look good. x86 iBooks for example would not outperform G4 PowerBooks if both are on the market at the same time.
torn80
Considering that only Apple software will probably be available in January (with a few exceptions), I hope Apple doesn't jump on the gun on this, next summer is a much better time. Rosetta emulation isn't going to be a happy experience.
ohh .. I dunno ...
*Rosetta emulation isn't going to be a happy experience.*
Bet it's a way better experience than this hinkey old G3 iMac that I'm experiencing right now. heh.
I do expect a Macintel to be announced at MWSF and ship by the end of the month. I've expected that since the Intel announcement a @ WWDC.
Sol: Intel CPU's aren't as fast as you seem to think. The Megahertz Myth is still just a myth. Apple won't need to "cripple the Intel CPU's" to make the PPC's (G5's) look good; the PPC's are good. No sense in crippling high-end Mac's just to go 100% Intel. In fact, i hope they never do go 100% Intel. I'd like to see PPC options available for the high-end Mac's for years to come. Let the marketplace decide if and when it's time to retire the PPC.
However you have a valid point about the G4 PowerBooks. It wouldn't surprise me if the portable line is shaken up quite a bit, or at the very least the PowerBooks go Intel. Mac mini and portables are my prediction, but maybe not the iBooks (if there is still an iBook after MWSF).
Tom80: More than just Apple app's are already dual platform. A lot of shareware, even, is already dual platform. Six months is more than enough time for the major software companies to get their act together. Those who aren't ready by now are the ones whose code is poorly written.
"Bet it's a way better experience than this hinkey old G3 iMac that I'm experiencing right now."
hehehe… Heck, I'm using an 867mhz Quicksilver G4 and it's killin' me. It has been nothing but a great computer. It's interesting, though, I'm sure it still does things at the same speed it did them in 2001, but now I just don't have the patients for it, I guess. It has to think about stuff for a lot longer than I can handle.
The guy at the Apple store told me I would take a performance hit if I went over to an iBook, but he is wrong. I think it would be a lateral move, at this point. When the new intel-books come out, it should be a pretty god boost, if Apple doesn't make 'em slow just to keep them below the current powerbooks.

Alright, on to the future of technology
Apple's Home Entertainment initiative seems to be getting started with new sony tv's. 802.11n will translate/transfer all itune media ( using the quicktime engine) to either the ihome hub, or a cable box of some sort. Just imagine your ichat (Telephony) call, on you television, of course you will pause (live pause) all media while giving the proper time to said call (chat) then resume after. Now you all don't have to rush off the phone with your mom to get back to your show….but you still will. This will arrive for the consumer first, then we will see this evolve to the schools. Businesses already have such confrencing, sort of. Just stuff to come
I hate when people speculate on the way Apple does stuff. Only Steve Jobs knows what Apple is going to do.
I hear they are to debut the new iPod with the diorite case and diamond screen to prevent scratches and cracks.
MW = hit
as in, it will be a hit! and take one too!

Rumors, you're either joking or an idiot or both.
A very good friend of mine (the father of the Internet) tells me it's the MacMini that will get Intel inside first. These cute little boxes are priced right and provide a great opportunity for PC users to experience Apple (legally). Front Row, Apples media control application will be flying in good form on the revised MacMini along with updated iLife. Infrared remote is supported but the handheld remote is an optional piece for the customer to purchase (if they want it).
At $499 the MacMini is a great impulse buy for virus beleagured Windows users. It's cheap enough to buy on a whim and powerful enough for 90% of all desktop users. Plus it's small and beautiful, I love mine (since I upped memory to 1GB).
Don't hold your breath on updates to other models until mid year. Powerbook and iBook models will clearly be first in time for "back to school" shopping. Pro Powermacs will be the last to switch over to Intel and they won't be here until middle of next year IMHO.
Preliminary reports of the G5 Quad indicate it's a very powerful system especially when the software is tweaked. Rumors of a stealth 3.2 GHz dual core chip from IBM are starting to build. Even if they are just rumors, the Quad is one bitch'n computer (mine is on order " width="19″ height="19″ alt="grin" style="border:0;" />.
I wonder why MDN "pulled" the creationism in the classroom debate (#7443) yet left an older topic (Bush podcast) (#6556) which carries a similar debate.
Caved in to who's pressure?
Marcie88
I wouldn't be shocked if more stupid speculations take place in the future on this board


The most important aspect of positive behavior reinforcement, is to stop reinforcing negative behaviour, and to start telling your child what positive behaviour they can or should do.
For example, when your child is demonstrating an undesirable or negative behavior, like standing on a table, hitting their sibling, shouting, or running inside, your first instinct is to tell the child 'No! 'Don't do this!' 'Don't do that!' without actually telling the child what they should be doing or what the desired positive behaviour is.
What should you do in this situation?
We want to frame it in the positive, and think about what it is that you actually want the child to do.
So if your child were to be standing on the table, instead of saying 'No. Don't stand on the table', you would want to say to the child 'you can sit on a chair', 'you can do your colouring book on the table', or 'you can stand on the floor'. You can give a few positive options for the child, so they know there are other ways (desired behaviours) to do things, and take ownership of making the positive choice.
It takes a bit of time and a lot of practice, to get into this routine of telling a child what they can do. Think about it; when we spend the majority of the time telling the child what they cannot do and 'no!' and then we wonder why our toddler is parroting back to us 'no', 'no', 'no'. It really makes you aware of how often you are reinforcing or acknowledging this negative behaviour, when you haven't actually given the child the option of what you want the child to do. We can't always assume the child knows better.
If your child is screaming, you could say 'use your inside voice' and model that quieter voice. If your child is running, you could say 'we use our walking feet' and show the child how to walk. If your child is hitting their sibling, you could say 'we use our gentle hands' and demonstrate the softer and slower movement.
Focus on what your child can do and not what they can't, and soon it will be second nature.

Пол Энтони Хегарти (род. 27 июля 1954 года в Эдинбурге) — шотландский футболист, игравший на позиции защитника. По завершении игровой карьеры — тренер. Большую часть карьеры провёл за клуб «Данди Юнайтед», был капитаном команды, также выступал за национальную сборную Шотландии. Чемпион Шотландии, двукратный обладатель Кубка шотландской лиги.

Карьера игрока

Клубная карьера
В профессиональном футболе дебютировал в 1972 году, выступая на позиции нападающего за команду «Гамильтон Академикал», в которой провёл два сезона, приняв участие в 67 матчах чемпионата.

Своей игрой за эту команду привлёк внимание Джима Маклейна, тренера клуба «Данди Юнайтед», в состав которого присоединился в ноябре 1974 года за 27500 фунтов. Через два года Маклин перевёл Хегарти в защиту в пару к Дэвиду Нейри. Хегарти отыграл за команду 15 сезонов своей игровой карьеры. Большую часть времени, проведённого в составе «Данди Юнайтед», был основным игроком защиты команды. В 1979 году команда выиграла Кубок шотландской лиги, а в следующем сезоне — защитила титул. В 1983 году «Данди» завоевал титул чемпиона Шотландии. В том сезоне Хегарти приходилось даже играть в воротах, когда в матче против «Гринок Мортон» вратарь Хэмиш Макалпайн получил травму. В 1987 году Хегарти с клубом дошёл до финала Кубка УЕФА, где уступил «Гётеборгу».

В 1990 году защищал цвета клуба «Сент-Джонстон», которому помог повыситься в классе.

Завершил профессиональную игровую карьеру в клубе «Форфар Атлетик», за который выступал в течение 1990—1992 годов.

Выступления за сборную
В 1979 году он дебютировал в официальных матчах в составе национальной сборной Шотландии. В течение карьеры в национальной команде, длившейся пять лет, провёл в форме Шотландии всего восемь матчей. В своём последнем матче против Северной Ирландии вышел на поле с капитанской повязкой. Также сыграл один матч за сборную Шотландской лиги.

Карьера тренера
Начал тренерскую карьеру, ещё продолжая играть на поле, в 1990 году, возглавив тренерский штаб клуба «Форфар Атлетик». Покинул клуб после понижения в классе в 1992 году.

В 1999 году стал главным тренером команды «Абердин», тренировал клуб всего один год.

Затем в течение 2002—2003 годов возглавлял тренерский штаб своего бывшего клуба «Данди Юнайтед». Сначала он был исполняющим обязанности, но по ходу сезона стал полноправным тренером. Был уволен в январе 2003 года.

В декабре 2008 года он был назначен тренером «Ливингстона», но из-за финансовых проблем клуба проработал там всего несколько месяцев.

В феврале 2015 года он стал тренером «Монтроза» из Второй лиги. Команда попала в зону вылета и вынуждена была играть в плей-офф за сохранение места. Клубу удалось избежать вылета, однако в ноябре 2016 года Хегарти был уволен за неудовлетворительные результаты.

Hey guys, It's been a while since I've been around, but was wondering if anyone still plays Travian or any similar games, or at least keeps in touch with some people who still do.
I'm currently taking a break from MMO's, and thought it'd be a nice change of pace to go back to something that's a nice mix of both casual and competitive if there was still a community around.
I don't unfortunately. They seem to require too much time these days.
I've been playing Prismata. It's like SC2 combined with Hearthstone and very similar to M:tG with how resources are handled. It's currently in closed Alpha, but there is a good community behind it and getting a key is as easy as checking the reddit page.


LONDON, July 27 (Reuters) - Sterling edged lower on Friday and is poised to register its third consecutive weekly loss as concerns about the progress of Brexit negotiations trumped any optimism ahead of a likely interest rate hike next week.
On Friday, the pound was consolidating losses at a three-day low of $1.3117.
Market bets for a Bank of England rate hike next week have settled at a firm 81 percent. In contrast, the European Central Bank backed investor expectations for a 10 basis point hike in October 2019, its first since 2011.
Against the euro, sterling was steady at 88.84 pence.

I have a disease. It's called "modifyitis". This rare affliction affects people across all classes and demographics, but seems limited to the sub-species of humans known as "gear-heads". I'm unsure where exactly I caught modifyitis, as no-one in my extended family seems to be a carrier.
Yes, most "normal" people buy a car and just drive it as-is. They figure that there must have been some reason that the engineers put it together the way that they did, and that's good enough for them. Of course most people also see a car as a transportation appliance, designed to get them from A to B and back again. I suppose that it's fine, not everyone has the bug to change their car in any significant way.
Now there are grades to the modifyitis bug. It ranges from someone who just stops at the nearest Pep-Boys and goes for the tackiest seat covers and the range of stick-on fender vents, to the hard-core folks who change everything including bodywork in the wildest ways imaginable. I fall into the middle ground, those with some sense of taste and a propensity to want to highlight certain performance or aesthetic design features of the car.
Here's the Boostang, as she sits today!
In September of 2016 I got a promotion at work. In October I bought a 2017 Mustang Ecoboost.The thing when you buy a Mustang is that everyone has one, or knows someone who does. It's one of the world's most popular sporty cars, for good reason, but if you have one it's not really unique until you make it yours.
Saturday marked my one year anniversary of trading up from a Ford Focus to the Boostang.
So then things began to get modified. It was slow at first, after all this was a new car, with no miles on it and a brief break in period is only appropriate.
Before too long I had dropped in a high-flow air filter and bought a Cobb Accessport V3 to re-tune the computer for more power. Ford left a bit of performance in their stock settings, and I wanted it.I follwed this up with a set of hydraulic lifters for the hood, to get rid of Ford's cheap prop-rod.
Around this same time I decided that I wanted to try my hand at autocross again. I had participated a few times in the late 90's with a Datsun I had modified and built up, and from everything I could see and feel in the Mustang it should do well and be a lot of fun in the process. By the end of January 2017 I had joined the local autocross club, bought a helmet, and saved up enough money for the first serious round of performance modifications; Eibach Pro-Kit springs, Steeda Strut brace, lower K-Brace, and subframe alignment bushings. I ran one event before lowering the car. Dropping an inch from the ride height as well as stiffening up the front end made turn in on an autocross course much tighter, leading to a couple of nice spins during the autocross season.
Having done a ton of research and armed with my experience with previous cars and modification routes I made sure that I had a plan, and that it would get me where I wanted to be with this car. Cold Air Intakes are a standard upgrade that everyone makes on a modern car, but a lot of them are really hot-air intakes with open filter elements inside the engine bay. I didn't want that, so found one that had a longer than stock pipe that put the filter down low into the fender with a well blocked off air-box to keep that heat out. The shiny aluminum pipe is a pretty side-effect.
Mishimoto Cold Air Intake. Yes, it's CARB certified, not that I need that in Texas.
Since I had suspension pretty well taken care of, and the car had already come with upgraded brakes and cooling due to the Performance Package installed at the factory, now I needed wider rubber and some non-factory wheels. Enter LMR.com with a nice set of their house brand SVE Drift wheels in 19 x 9.5 with a set of Nitto tires that look really aggressive.
Wider, lighter wheels with some lighting upgrades.
Having now spent a good chunk of change, I went easy on my budget for a couple of months, putting in some lighting upgrades with the reverse light and rear-side markers going to some products from Diode Dynamics, to enhance both visibility and appearance. Then came a little plasti-dip on the rear pony emblem to subdue the only chrome on the back of the car, and the addition of a carbon fiber rear window spoiler from eBay as an appearance upgrade. I'm under no delusions that it does anything for aerodynamics, though I can show that it changes the airflow over the rear window.
Then I got serious. Another couple of months (and a line of credit later) and I tackled the car's most known issue, the undersized intercooler. I picked a nice upgrade from Custom Performance Engineering, and since I had to remove the nose of the car in the process it also got new intercooler piping from Mishimoto (shiny aluminum!) and a modified grille from a Mustang GT with a black front pony to finally get rid of the last of the exterior chrome. All of this took about 5 hours in my driveway.
New Intercooler in front of the old one. It's obviously thicker with aluminum end tanks.
In between all of this of course I was going out to autocross, and made it to an SCCA Track Night at Circuit of the Americas in August of 2017!
After all of this there were still some things to be done. I rented a lift from a local shop for an hour and put on a full cat-back exhaust, going from a resonator and dual mufflers, down to a single mid-mount muffler. It increases flow as well as produces a nicer sound than the super quiet stock setup. I then modified my stock turbo diverter valve with a kit from Go Fast Bits from Australia and changed out the wastegate actuator with one from TurboSmart, before going with a full custom tune from Adamtuned.com to wrap up my 2017 calendar. This is now a completely different car than the one I bought. It has performance and feel entirely different than and stock Mustang I've ridden in since.
This year's income tax return bought me some new autocross tires on the old stock wheels, in a futile attempt to extend the life of my daily driven tires.
And of course, Autocross is addicting, so I'm still doing that.
My moral for all of you out there? It's your car, don't let it be just an appliance! Get out there and make it uniquely yours!


You're not just marrying your fiancé….. you're marrying into his or her family and it's in everyone's interest if you purposefully focus on building a positive relationship with them.
I was on the internet last week and read a post on a wedding photography forum which got me thinking. The post was from a wedding photographer in the North East who mentioned that he'd been due to photograph an engagement shoot but had received a rather fraught sounding email from the Groom to be asking if he could cancel his engagement shoot as 'it just seems like more hassle'.
Happy 2013 everyone! My name is Jessie and I'm a wedding planner _ stylist based in the Cotswolds. I'm a regular guest blogger here on LoveLuxe but also have my own little blog where you can read my musings about life and work in Gloucestershire!
To kick off the new year I decided to write a very personal post about my own wedding experience, in the hope that it might lift and give hope to others finding themselves in a similar situation. As a wedding planner I am often helping couples to navigate family disagreements – like christenings and funerals, weddings tend to bring out both the best and the worst in people – and sadly there are also times where I'm asked to help couples find meaningful ways to honour lost loved ones on their special day.
Reframing the Art Gallery for Children.
Hello! I'm Emily and I'm delighted to have been invited to join the LoveLuxe blog to talk about fun activities and celebrations for children. Today I am here to talk about taking children to an art gallery, some ideas of what to do when you are there, and creating artwork inspired by your visit with them afterwards.
Sometimes in life things don't work out how you think they're going to. You don't know it at the time and when the man I had married 18 months before left me, simply not coming home from work one night, it felt like my world had ended. It happened to me 10 years ago and I didn't see it coming. As life seemed to crash down around me and I entered a whole new phase of solicitors, divorce proceedings, tears and total devastation, it was my big sister who I'd not been that close to previously who got me through it with unswerving support, advice and realism.


Foods containing high amounts of sugar are among the worst for your complexion.
Although the correlation between diet and acne is still being researched, studies show connections between certain triggering foods and acne flare-ups. Diet may be a key player in both resolving and worsening symptoms.
A study from the Harvard School of Public Health indicates that dairy products, and in particular skim milk, may trigger acne breakouts. While more rigorously collected data is needed to confirm the correlation, evidence shows that certain dairy products may aggravate acne because of their hormone and bioactive molecule content.
Cows receive hormones to increase milk production, and residues of those hormones pass to humans in the milk. This can cause an increase of sebum (oil) production, which clogs pores and allows bacteria to grow on the skin, leading to skin inflammation and acne breakouts.
Sugar is justifiably considered the cause of many food-related health problems, and it is also considered a possible trigger for acne flare-ups. Eating sugar causes the level of blood sugar to rise, and that stimulates the production of the hormone insulin. Constant spikes of insulin in the blood can lead to insulin-resistance, which enhances sebum production and the development of acne symptoms.
The glycemic index indicates how fast a carbohydrate enters the bloodstream. A study suggests that a low glycemic load diet may improve not only the symptoms of acne vulgaris, but also the insulin sensitivity of the patient. Eating foods with a high glycemic index, such as refined carbs like pasta, cause a spike in blood sugar, which leads to excess insulin generation and consequently, to inflammation.
Keep a food diary and document any acne flare-ups to investigate whether there's a correlation between certain foods you eat and flare-ups you experience.
Supplement your diet with healthy fats, like fish oil, because of their anti-inflammatory properties. A study suggests that fish oil supplementation may improve acne severity.
Take probiotics. According to the Gut-Brain-Skin Theory, which has recently been supported by some evidence, probiotics influence systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, glycaemic control, tissue lipid content and even mood. *Follow a low glycemic load diet.

Hong Kong has established a worldwide reputation in the toy industry for its production and re-export of a wide range of well-designed and high-quality toys. Almost all the toys export from Hong Kong were re-export trade for the goods made in PRC.
A large proportion of Hong Kong toy exports are derived from licensing and contract manufacturing for overseas manufacturers. Production specifications and product designs are usually provided by customers. This type of arrangement is used to minimise the local manufacturers' risks to invest in product design, inventory taking and marketing. However, Hong Kong manufacturers are increasingly offering expertise in design, engineering, modelling, tooling, quality control and other technical know-how to its customers in order to maintain their close relationship with large buyers and to keep abreast of market trend.
Nowadays, in order to enhance its competitive edge and bargaining power against other countries, Hong Kong toys manufacturers have been actively seeking low-cost offshore production facilities not only in the PRC but also in other low production cost countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. Hong Kong toys manufacturers have been striving to diversify their exports into emerging markets such as Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Russia, India. Of course, the vast Chinese Mainland where the burgeoning market of international branded high quality toys was found promising for Hong Kong based manufacturer to leverage on the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement CEPA advantages.
As a result, Hong Kong toys manufacturers have to differentiate themselves from their Mainland counterparts by shifting from OEM towards ODM and OBM focusing on unrivaled new material exploration, state-of-arts manufacturing technology, trendy product design, impeccable quality control, international brand building, world-class promotion & marketing, and global supply chain production management to cater for the need of the targeted customers.
Hong Kong and the PRC are major players for plush stuffed toys. Hong Kong has other well-established supporting industries such as electronics, plastics, textiles and clothing industries so that the quality in each toy segment can be improved and controlled since accessories in toys are well produced.

Aerobicr coronary heart beat will increase, to flow into the oxygen in the blood to the muscle mass sooner, and remove toxins from the cell quicker. Additionally, the well being features might be achieved from relatively moderate amounts of exercise — transferring from a life-style involving no exercise to one that involves some exercise can lead to substantial enhancements in well being. Anaerobic exercise is especially helpful for weight administration in that it helps to burn more calories even in a body at rest. Because of all this motion, the heart wants a fresh provide of oxygen, and as you just realized, the lungs present it. Once the heart makes use of what it needs, it pumps the blood, the oxygen, and different vitamins out by means of the big left ventricle and through the circulatory system to all the organs, muscles, and tissues that want it.
Surgeon Common's Report On Physical Exercise And Well being MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. It strengthens your heart and lungs and trains your cardiovascular system to handle and deliver oxygen extra rapidly and effectively all through your body.

The good news is that your physique gets better at using oxygen and burning fat while you do common cardio exercise; like I described, your heart pumps extra blood, your muscle tissues devour extra oxygen, and you have extra mitochondria.
Of course, there is not any draw back to working out usually with aerobic train and also becoming extra bodily lively as per the Surgeon Basic (take more stairs, mow the lawn by hand, park far away from the shop and stroll), so combining them could be a great resolution. As you get the really helpful half-hour of moderately intense aerobic train 5 days every week, you ought to be exercising at a level that just permits you to sustain a conversation during the exercise.
How a lot shouldn't be clear, however somewhere between 30 and 40 minutes of vigorous train several times per week, to forty five to 75 minutes of reasonable depth exercise five or extra days per week is probably about proper. And the finest method to up the oxygen intake and burn fats simultaneously is by performing aerobic exercises frequently. The swap to fat as gasoline is a significant cause of what marathon runners name "hitting the wall." There are numerous forms of aerobic train.
