Gaona Drives Away with Resistol Rookie Heading Standings
John Gaona continues to lead the Resistol Rookie heading standings, while working toward helping his partner, Trevor Nowlin, qualify for his first Wrangler NFR.
John Gaona, of Winkelman, Arizona, maintains a strong lead in the Resistol Rookie heading standings with $19,813.30 in season earnings as of Aug. 10, 2021. Gaona, who has a nearly $5,000 lead on the No. 2 man, Reno Stoebner, is heading for Trevor Nowlin, who is 19th in the PRCA World Standings with $36,596.25. Gaona is focusing on continuing his lead in the Resistol Rookie race, as well as getting his heeler qualified for what could be his first Wrangler NFR.
Kaitlin Gustave: You've held onto the No. 1 spot in the Resistol Rookie Standings for over two weeks now. Do you watch the standings?
John Gaona: I started looking at it. Trevor had told me that it was a big accomplishment to win it and he told me that I was winning it, so I've been looking quite a bit lately.
KG: You won and filled your permit at Rodeo Rapid City, your first-ever ProRodeo. What would winning a Resistol Rookie title mean for you and your career?
JG: It would be a dream come true to be able to win it for my first year rodeoing.
Arizona Cowboys Gaona and Nowlin Win Rodeo Rapid City
KG: You are also 42nd in the PRCA World Standings. There's still a lot of summer left, but how are you feeling about the World Standings?
JG: I have a little bit. I've been looking at Trevor's mainly. I'm trying to get him to the Finals. That's my main goal right now.
KG: What's it like being on the road for the first time?
JG: It's fun. It's really fun to meet people that you've idolized your whole life. It's really nice to be living the dream.
KG: This is a dream come true, right?
JG: It is. It's awesome to be able to do this. I wouldn't be able to do this without Daniel and Elaine—Trevor's parents. They help me so much.
KG: The last time we talked was at the beginning of the season, when you won Rodeo Rapid City. How has it been since that big win?
JG: It was kind of downhill for a while and then it started coming back up. It's been up and down.
KG: How are you mentally and how has your roping been?
JG: Mentally, I'm just trying to improve myself. My roping has been off and on.
Trevor Brazile's Mental Game Perspective
KG: What are you trying to improve?
JG: I'm trying to focus on riding a lot more and less throwing. I'm trying to set my partner up for a better shot.
Tackling Two Perspectives: Roping and Riding
KG: Is it challenging to keep your heading sharp on the road?
JG: We were home a couple days ago and got to practice, but it's hard when you're out here. It's a lot different. I'm used to practicing every day. You can't just go back and go practice and improve yourself.
KG: What about horsepower? What do you have to head on?
JG: Both of them are Trevor Nowlin's. I have a roan (Ferrari) and a gray horse (Smoke Wagon) that I ride. If it's a longer start, I'll use the gray and, if it's shorter, I'll use the roan.
KG: Is there anyone you go to for help?
JG: I usually call my brother, Steven Gaona. I'll send him videos and stuff and he tells me what I did wrong and what I should be improving on.
KG: What's the best part about being on the road?
JG: Mine and Trevor's bond. We're like brothers. It's a lot easier when you're roping with your brother. It's pretty easy to haul with each other.

Having a steady job while managing schoolwork and other activities can be pretty challenging. Most jobs have demanding hours along with tax deductions, leaving you with hardly enough money in your paycheck and wondering if it's all worth it.
However, with the right kind of job, you can set your own hours and make your own pay. This leaves you with loads of time at your fingertips.
Babysitting is probably one of the most convenient jobs for a highschooler because it allows students to work whenever it is convenient, while still making good money. In addition, jobs like these pay real money without tax deductions, which is more profitable.
Babysitting jobs are very flexible, especially for students. So if the student is busy working on a project one night, they can choose to not work that particular day. Franchise and industry jobs are not as lenient; if a student was busy working on schoolwork, they would still have to work anyway, forcing them to find another time to finish their school priorities. This is what makes babysitting a favorable alternative.
Another suitable job would be dog walking. It may seem far-fetched, but many people hire dog walkers to go out and walk their dogs to engage them in activities. In addition to getting paid for walking someone's dog, you would get good exercise. Not to mention, this would be a very easy job that doesn't actually take up a lot of time.
Posting small business ads that advertise jobs such as dog walking or babysitting can help to spread the word around. For instance, you can easily create an online ad for free and then post it on social media in order to get more feedback.
When people go on vacations, they normally ask family or friends to watch their homes while they are away. Most of the time this requires the teen to simply check on the house and make sure that nothing is out of the ordinary. This makes housesitting an extremely easy job for teens who do not have a lot of free time.
Lastly, for students who want to earn money but also get extra school practice, tutoring would be your best bet. The ages for tutoring vastly range, therefore you have the choice to either tutor elementary, middle school, or high school. The tutor would even get extra school practice which can benefit them during quizzes, tests, and daily work.
Each of the jobs listed here allow flexibility for students whose busy schedules limit their availability for more time-consuming jobs. However, while these jobs are decidedly more convenient, they can still teach valuable life skills as all jobs do. So get out there and start hunting — job hunting, that is.

Q: Chrome process shows up in Windows Task Manager, but not Chrome Task Manager Windows 7, 64-bit.
When I start Chrome, and open the in-browser Task Manager, I see one less process reported than I see in Windows' Task Manager.  This extra process starts and stops with the rest of Chrome, and generally uses ~1MB of memory.

Notice that PID 3700 does not show up on Chrome's list.  Is this expected?

A: Chrome also has a background process that runs in Windows. So yes, you may not see every process in the Chrome Task Manager that you do in the Windows Task Manager

"The Conversation." All of our communities have had one (or many). A 'reimagination' or a 'reframing'; a community dialogue and a strategic discussion. They are all the same, even if the framework or the buzzwords are different. Unfortunately, instead of leading to change, 'Conversation' has become the primary method for engagement and for the Campaign. And 'The Conversation' is where the Federation system lost the mantle of community leadership.
In 2005, 12 years after spending a summer with Alexander Muss High School in Israel, I returned to Israel on the Atlanta Centennial Community Mission. In that short time, Israel and the global Jewish Community had changed dramatically, and it was no different in my community, Atlanta – one of the fastest growing Jewish communities in America. Like other Jewish communities around the county, Atlanta's collective efforts to address the challenges of the post Cold War era presented an entirely new dynamic. Rather than a deeper sense of cohesion and community, there were even greater signs of fragmentation. Secularization and intermarriage changed the nature of our commonality. Criticism of the State of Israel and the early stages of the BDS movement started to take hold on college campuses. Israel was becoming a partisan issue in US politics and a "wedge issue" inside the Jewish community.
Perhaps most disconcerting was that the core value of, giving to, and taking care of, the collective community was becoming optional, not an obligation as it had been in previous generations. And, technology allowed donors to more easily pick and choose direct ways to give back. We had stopped expecting participation and convinced ourselves that it was the donor's fault for not "getting it" rather than change our operations around the new reality of young Boomers, Gen X and Millennials.
In 2005, it appeared to me, we knew we had an enormous set of challenges on our hands and bold action by Federation was necessary.
And, for a period of time, it looked like that was going to happen.
Over the next few years, the 'community' (led by the Federation) invested in demographic studies and strategic plans, new staffing models and new marketing efforts. Atlanta wasn't alone; national studies were done by Pew, Jewish Federations of North America and leading Jewish foundations. We talked about meaningful, but ultimately, generic goals of getting more people 'involved on their own terms,' being more 'welcoming,' respecting view points, more self selection for donors, etc. We engaged leaders like me in initiatives like National Young Leadership Cabinet to bring the 'next generation' to the table for conversations about the 'future.'
We also discussed the 'business' of our community organizations – we noticed established organizations operating inefficiently, not utilizing technology well, competing with each other too much, making simple executional mistakes not accepted in for-profit businesses and afraid of doing things differently. Yet even with all of these challenges and all of the data, rather than take action we focused on getting new leaders to be energized and excited to be engaged in the 'Conversation' about how to address these challenges.
Rather than hearing the objections from "The Conversation" as the roadmap for change, Federation, and our established communal organizations, have chosen to ignore this feedback. The actual operations and tactics haven't changed, and the results have worsened: the needs of the community have grown faster than the support from the community.
Strategic planning and leadership have similarly adopted "The Conversation" approach – concerned more about participation than results. First, do a survey or have a community discussion to come to the same demographic conclusions as before. Second, work on and socialize the plan. Third, get the right professional team onboard. Fourth, launch trials of very small programs based on the feedback and brand them as "innovative" to show change is happening. Fifth, after a few years, change the names up a bit and repeat.
This is a reflection of Federation mistaking its role as community convener to mean that the purpose of Federation is to facilitate "The Conversation." And that participation in "The Conversation" will increase giving. In fact, this is the premise and theme of this year's JFNA GA: "We need to talk."
It hasn't. And it won't. It's time to stop having the conversation and start making it happen.
How can we do this? I offer four suggestions:
First, Federation needs to focus on its primary role as a fund raising organization. Federation needs to stop shying from this critical point and embrace it. Federation has the ability lead the community ONLY if it is producing results from collective giving. If Federation is just taking a cut and not offering value add then people are better off giving directly, making Federation irrelevant.
Second, consolidate community organizations starting with combining Federation, JCC and JF&CS. This would allow each organization to focus on its unique strengths and remove millions of dollars of redundant operations and expenses and for economies of scale to be realized. Federation, as mentioned above, should be the primary fund-raising division, responsible for general collective campaigns, Israel and Overseas, community endowment/legacy, and special directed campaigns. JCC would be responsible for community engagement, on its campus and broadly in the community. JFCS should be responsible for providing for our vulnerable populations, locally and abroad, through direct services and by running the allocations process. The new organization would consolidate governance so that leadership is driven by merit and the needs of the community vs participation and donor development.
Third, get rid of the annual campaign. It takes too much energy and effort for the bottom line results and it's not an effective engagement or donor development tool. Instead, set ambitious and inspiring long term fundraising goals based on outcomes that solve community wide problems. For example, raise $30 million by 2020 to allow for 100% of the community's children who want it to go to camp. Or raise $10 million by 2019 to build a community wide young leadership program. If you go to a major college or university President, each of them can show you a model of what their campus looks like in the future with the new research center or dorm or the new football training facility that the fundraising will make possible. This is inspiring to donors of all levels and missing from Federation's approach.
Fourth, recognize that outreach efforts will not work if Federation doesn't walk the walk and embrace social justice as a core value, even if this upsets some of its donors. Representing the community at large, attracting more millennials, the LGBTQ community, interfaith families, etc. is not possible by being silent on critical social issues like religious liberty laws, the nation-state law in Israel, refugees/immigration and bigotry. Instead of huddling in the board room thinking how not to upset donors, lead by taking action that directly helps beneficiaries. Donors will follow a leader.
Ironically, these four suggestions are not new. They are a reversion back to the original roots and core mission. Federation was started for specific and important reasons that are still critical today. By eliminating operations outside the main scope and becoming a focused division of a single organization it will be possible to create real transformation and meet the needs of our community.
Only one organization has the ability to convene the community around a common agenda. This agenda was set in the Torah and Talmud – Kol Yisrael arevim zeh bazeh, tikkun olam and tzedakah.
At this point, talk is cheap, ineffective and holding us back. It's time to take action. Or for Federation to get out of the way.

Regina Alonzo says
I'm on board for #1, #2 (mostly) and #4. But ditching the annual campaign in favor of a capital project or narrowly-focused effort will take away the operating funds that Federation beneficiary agencies so desperately need to keep their doors open. Even when allocations are a small part of agency budgets, that support is virtually irreplaceable (unless we all go ramp up our own fundraising which defeats the purpose of #2). Capital projects are sexy until they require the operating funds to run programs and maintain the buildings. Efforts such as building a camp endowment are admirable but leave out agencies serving seniors, adults, college students, etc.
Michael Spektor says
It sure appears that embracing #4 in it's entirety will take Judaism out of the equation. Being just does not negate the need to care about one's own tribe. "If I am not for me, who will be for me and if I am only for myself who am I" The order is critical and speaks to the Nation bill.
Jordan Goodman says
Shalom All,
Michael makes an important point just above. He wrote, "It sure appears that embracing #4 in it's entirety will take Judaism out of the equation."
After rereading the original post and its responses, Judaism is not mentioned at all until Michael's reply quoted just above. So…(warning; a rhetorical question follows) where is Judaism in all this? Sadly it's nowhere to be found other than in the Orthodox precincts and their organizations.
The final paragraphs of Keith's original post give the "elevator" talk, "on one foot" clarity to everything one needs to know and more importantly do:
Or even more succinctly, as my father has often said about situations like this.
"____ or get off the pot."
Biv'racha,


NWPA We have been blessed with good weather for the last three weeks. Lime has all been spread all the plowing is done some field drains have been installed and more fence row clearing has finished. We have 4500 pheasant and chukar eggs started even had time to plant Christmas trees with the kids today. I know the weather has been tough in other parts of the country, we experienced that last spring. Trying to go full steam ahead while we have the chance.

Putting resources into cryptographic money exchanging is like purchasing stock on stock exchanging trades. The procedure has all the earmarks of being nearly the same. You purchase the stock, and you clutch it until the point that it increases in value. They are both advanced resources, so there is no physical stock simply like there is no physical digital money. In spite of these similitudes, stocks are not the same as digital currencies. This article will feature key contrasts amongst stocks and digital forms of money.
Stock dealers in the United States are required by law to purchase protection for their stocks by the SIPC. The protection covers you if your financier leaves business. It can be up to $500,000. There is no such arrangement for digital money exchanging. Just remarkable trades like Coinbase and Gemini offer customers protection on money stores.
There is dependably an uneven stream of data amongst insiders and untouchables in computerized resource exchanging. In stock exchanging, insiders resemble shared assets and administrators that have an out of line advantage over the pariahs. In cryptographic money exchanging, the insiders are the token makers, expansive holders and mining pool individuals. In both stock and cryptographic money exchanging, these insiders dependably have an uncalled for advantage over different merchants. Be that as it may, money markets is intensely managed with strict insider exchanging laws that likewise ensure pariahs. No such directions exist in the digital money industry.
The SEC guarantees that the limit orders are not filled with the worst price compared to the best offers across all exchanges. In cryptocurrency trading, the best bid isn't stable. It varies from exchange to exchange. This is why it is important that you pick one of the best cryptocurrency trading exchange when you want to trade.

Q: How to find the default length of character in  tag according to height and width? I have tried to get default length for
 tag in html, It should be display according to the height & width of tag
.
For Eg:
I have this piece of code,

Here, Height is "300" & width is "200". how can i get default character length in this
 tag.
Any help appreciated.

A: You should make use of helper container (hidden from user). The idea is that you duplicate text in this container (and styles) and measure the width of it.
Consider this example:
var $container = $('.container'),
    height = $container.height(),
    width  = $container.width();

$('button').click(function() {
    $container[0].innerHTML += random();
    if (!checkFit($container)) {
        alert(['overflow! max chars ', $container.text().length - 1]);
    }
});

function checkFit($el) {
    var $clone = $el.clone().addClass('clone').appendTo('body');
    return $clone.width() <= width && $clone.height() <= height;
}

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/NrkQC/

A:
 is a block level element, and hence it will occupy the width of its container. Documentation

A: You simply can't get an exact number because not all characters have the same width.
See example each line have 10 characters but they don't have the same length.
You can estimate the space yo got by dividing the total space (200*300) in the font size (say 20px) and get this: 200*300/20 = ~3000

    abcdefghig

    0123456789

    !@#$%^&*()

Look at this: example 2
You have 20 1s and 28 - and they both take 1 line, so an exact formula is not realistic. You can only estimate it. If you want to get the best estimation you can try calculating the probability of each character (see link here) and considering each character's width (according to the font-family and font-size) you can estimate the "space" you got.


Can we perform SEO activities efficiently on Joomla?
Hello, I am a new Joomla addict. I have been using Wordpress since years. Can we perform SEO activities efficiently on Joomla 3x?
Re: Can we perform SEO activities efficiently on Joomla?
Which is the best free plugin to perform with?
Yes you can. SEO depends on on-site and off-site factors. Sure, the technical side has an impact but what does count the most is quality content et quality backlinks.

I am hooked on The Girlfriend Experience TV series (watched 6 of 13 episodes so far) which is adapted from Steven Soderbergh's 2009 movie of the same name (he's an Executive Producer on the movie). Don't be put off if you didn't enjoy the film, the TV series is in another league. The central character, Christine, is played by Riley Keough (Elvis Presley's granddaughter). Christine is a young law student interning at a top law firm in Chicago. She's introduced to the world of "transactional relationships" (escorting) by a classmate and excels at it. She then embarks on a journey that sees her wrestling with personal and professional boundaries. This review sums it up nicely. As you would expect given the storyline, it's a bit raunchy in parts so best not to watch with your parents or children. View trailer here. It's available on Stan.


Have you ever considered racing long distance or are you an old hand looking for a race to target?
Every 2 years the club ventures away from the UK to target a late season long distance race, and planning for the 2019 race is well underway. The club would love you to join us in September 2019 in Amsterdam. Whatever your level, from complete beginner to professional athlete the race will give you the chance of some great racing and with plenty of time between now and September 2019, there is no better time to set things in motion to get yourself ready to race long.
The venue will be Europe's oldest Triathlon and second oldest in the world (after Hawaii). Set in Almere, a city just across the river from Amsterdam (25 miles from Schipol airport). The race is in early September (8 September in 2018) which gives the whole summer to build up to the race. It also means that the weather is often mild and pleasant, although sometimes windy. There are 4 race options available, Full and Half distance with relays in both. The course is flat and fast so a perfect place for both PB hunters and first-timers. It is also a 2 lap lake swim and 6 laps on the run for the full distance, so plenty of time for spectators to see racers. It comes highly recommended by at least one club member and several other friends of mine have rated it highly.
The race is also reasonably easy to get to, with good links from Bristol by plane, and a fairly easy drive across. Amsterdam and Almere are reasonably easy to find hotels or other accommodation, with plenty of options.
As organiser, Chris Emmerson is looking to develop a sense of being part of the team with this trip. "I'm looking to identify anyone who is interested in racing in the next few months. There will be no commitment at this stage, if you are even considering racing, I urge you to sign up so I can keep you up to date with the ongoing plans. However, until time comes to enter the race, I will not be shutting off entries so feel free to sign up whenever you like. There will be a number of social events to try and help people meet other club members going and I hope that these will become more regular as the race approaches. I am hoping that I will also be able to put people in contact with each other so they can potentially train together or at least have a friendly face who they know during the build up. It's amazing how important a friendly face or good training partner can be in the build-up to long distance."
Long distance racing can be stressful and tiring. However, the club has a wealth of resources to draw on. If you are new to the distance, or just want some help with it, the club will be providing some additional support to help you out. Full details of this support will come shortly. I also have a number of ideas (to be announced in due course), to try and make the race itself as stress-free as possible for all participants.
The full distance is my favorite distance, nothing else quite captures my interest and passion to the same degree. However, in many regards I believe the Middle distance is the best distance in Triathlon, offering the best mix of endurance and speed whilst still being attainable by even the busiest people. For these reasons alone I'd strongly recommend you at least consider trying a long distance race, even if it is only once. If you are an old hand, there's still PB's to be had, and "bragging rights" grudge matches with your mates, and I hope there will be no stronger team to be a part of during your 2019 season.
I am planning on holding an evening event to discuss the race and provide some more information, plans for this evening are coming together and I'll provide them shortly.

One of the biggest mistakes that many businesses online and offline make is that they do not have a plan for success. Even though it is an online business, you should still have a business plan and you should have a search marketing strategy and know that you are targeting a large enough market. You should do searches online on Google, and Yahoo, and MSN, and see which of your competitors come up for that search term.
You should also do some market research analysis so that you know which search terms people are searching for the most. Some search terms might only produce a couple, 10 or 20 searches a day, and other search terms might have several thousand a day. You will need a big enough market to target because you will be sharing that market with your competitors.
What it all comes down to in the end is that you have about 10 or 20 competitors on the front page of Google, Yahoo and MSN. You need to do the following well, to compete with these competitors.
1. Your website needs to have a better presentation than your competitors. This means a more engaging demonstration of the products and services you sell.
2. You need to come up as high as possible in the search engines either through search engine marketing or paid sponsored ads also known as pay-per-click.
3. Optimize your website so that search engines can find you organically. This is also known as search engine optimization.
1. They start targeting and promoting keywords before they know the value of the keywords they are promoting.
2. When using pay-per-click advertising, they direct everyone to the front page of their website. As much as possible, direct your ads to a detailed web page which matches up to your prospective customers search term.
1. Have a customized landing page, which takes the prospective customer to the exact product, or service page for which they are searching.
2. To have a cost effective online marketing strategy there needs to be enough people searching for your product or service.
For example, if someone is searching for a particular type of guitar, your ad should feature that particular type of guitar. The more specific you are and the less searching the perspective customer has to do once they get to your web page, the more likely they are to contact you, buy your product, or take the action you want them to take.
You will need to research which search terms or keywords are searched on more frequently than other search terms so that you can make sure that you have the largest audience possible. You can do this using Google's keyword tool. Doing just this small amount of market research can make the difference between success or failure of your online business venture.
For example, if you're selling Widget A and there's only ten people a day in your area searching for Widget A, you are not going to be very successful. If however, there are 100,000 people a day searching for a Widget A and you only have two competitors who also sell Widget A, then there is room for you in that market.
1. You can enter various phrases describing your businesses products or services into the search box. The tool will give you results on different phrases and synonyms matching your description. It will also tell you which search terms produce the largest amount of traffic on a monthly basis.
2. If you are targeting the entire United States then the monthly traffic column per keyword is very accurate. If you are targeting a particular state within the United States then you would need to divide that number by the percentage of population in that state.
3. Google's keyword tool also has a column that indicates the average cost per click for each search term. This can be helpful for forecasting how much to price your product or service. For example, if you are selling something for $10.00 and it costs you $10.00 to get enough people to your website before anyone buys your product then you need to rethink your pricing model. If however, your product sells for $20.00 and it only costs you $5.00 in advertising before someone buys your product, then you have a cost effective marketing campaign.
The goal of all of these marketing techniques is to get a higher search engine ranking for the search terms you are targeting. All of the methods above include backlinks to your website. Backlinks to your website is the number one criteria used by search engines to rank your website.
After you have done your market research, the next thing you will want to do is to determine if it is a growing market.
One of the ways you can discover if you are in a growing market is by using Google Trends. When using Google Trends, enter a search term which describes your business or industry into the search box and view the trend line in the results. If the trend line is moving up then you are in a growing market. If the trend line is moving down, then you are in a declining market. This will give you a good indication if it would be worthwhile for you to launch your business.
Another way to tell if there is room for you in a particular market is to look at your online competitors. Often times if their websites have not been updated in a while, it can indicate they are doing a good business. Also, if you have to scroll down to the second or third page of the search results before you find a decent looking web page, that can indicate a large market.
Do the market research, do a competitive analysis and research the market trends for your industry, then you will be successful in your new online business.

The PHAI species-at-risk database identifies plants and animals protected under federal or provincial legislation and helps CNL protect these species and their habitats by avoiding or managing interaction where project construction and remediation activities are planned.
Fifteen species are identified on PHAI project sites. For more information on the PHAI environmental monitoring of plants and wildlife click here.
The Eastern Meadowlark is a medium-sized songbird and a member of the blackbird family. It has a relatively long, pointed bill and short tail. Adults are patterned with brown on the back, and have a bright-yellow throat and belly with a large black 'V' pattern in the middle of the chest. The white outer tail feathers are especially visible in flight. Sixteen subspecies of the Eastern Meadowlark are recognized, but only one occurs in Canada.
The Eastern Wood-Pewee is a small forest bird about the same size as a House Sparrow. Both sexes have similar plumage, generally greyish-olive on the upperparts and pale on the underparts. This species is often observed perched in an upright position typical of flycatchers.
The Grasshopper Sparrow is a small, dull-coloured song bird of grassland habitats. It has a short tail, flat head and conical beige bill. Adults of both sexes have similar plumage - a plain buff-coloured throat and breast, buff, unmarked or faintly marked flanks, whitish below and mottled with rust above. Its summer diet is largely composed of grasshoppers and so the Eastern Grasshopper Sparrow is considered beneficial for agriculture!
The Bobolink is a medium-sized passerine. Males are black below and lighter above, while females are light beige streaked with brown and could be mistaken for some species of sparrow. The Bobolink has a conical bill, rigid, sharply pointed tail feathers and long hind toenails. Male plumage outside the breeding season and juvenile plumage are similar to that of the female.
The Wood Thrush is a medium-sized Neotropical migrant, slightly smaller than the American Robin. Sexes are similar; adults are generally rusty-brown on the upperparts with white underparts and large blackish spots on the breast and flanks. Juveniles are similar to adults, but have tawny streaks and spots on the back, neck, and wing coverts.
The adult Monarch is a large, showy butterfly with predominantly orange wings outlined by a broad black border and two rows of circular white spots. The Monarch is used in classrooms all over North America to teach children about biology, metamorphosis, conservation, and an appreciation for nature. The Monarch is one of a few butterflies that migrate. Their migration from southern Canada to Mexico has been described as an endangered biological phenomenon.
The Butternut is a medium to large, deciduous tree of the walnut family reaching a height of up to 30 m. Its leaves are densely hairy, alternate, and composed of 11-17 pinnately-arranged, stalk-less leaflets. The Butternut fruit is a sticky-hairy, egg-shaped husk enclosing a single two-chambered nut within a hard, jagged-ridged shell. Butternut is one of only two walnut species native to Canada. The species is prized for its wood and edible nuts and was an important source of food and medicine for First Nations people.
The Little Brown Bat is the most common bat species in Canada and the most familiar to the public. They often use buildings as day-roosts and forage in areas where they are visible (e.g., over lakes, around streetlights, etc.). Little brown bats provide an important ecological service, eating insects, some of which are considered pests in the agriculture and forestry sectors. They feed at night and are most active in the two or three hours after sunset. The female Little Brown Bat usually gives birth to only one young, which is able to fly and obtain its own food at just three weeks old.
Northern Long-Eared Bats have dull yellow-brown fur with pale grey bellies. They usually weigh between six and nine grams. As their name suggests, they have long (rounded) ears. They can be distinguished by the fleshy projection that covers the entrance to the ear, which is long and thin, with a pointed tip. These bats hibernate from October or November to March or April, most often in caves or abandoned mines.
The Tri-coloured Bat is named for black, yellow and brown hairs on its back. They forage over water and along streams in the forest. Tri-colored Bats eat flying insects and spiders gleaned from webs. During the summer, the Tri-colored Bat is found in a variety of forested habitats. It forms day roosts and maternity colonies in older forest and occasionally in barns or other structures. The Tri-colored Bat weighs about 7 gm - the weight of a two dollar coin.
Snapping Turtles have large black, olive or brown shells typically covered in algae. Their tails, which can be longer than their bodies, have dinosaur-like triangular crests along their length. Hatchlings are about the size of a loonie and are smaller and darker than adults, with pronounced ridges along the length of their shell. Snapping Turtles spend most of their lives in water. They prefer shallow waters so they can hide under the soft mud and leaf litter, with only their noses exposed to the surface to breathe. The Snapping Turtle is Canada's largest freshwater turtle and are believed to live well over 100 years.
The Western Chorus Frog is a small tree frog with three dark lines along its back and one larger line on each flank. Its ground colour can range from brown to grey to olive. The species is easily detected during spring because of its creaking call that resembles the sound of a fingernail stroked along a plastic comb. It is a secretive species and thus rarely seen outside the breeding season. This Western Chorus Frog breeds in almost any fishless pond with at least 10 centimetres of water.
The Eastern Hog-Nosed Snake owes its name to the upturned scale at the tip of its snout, unique to hog-nosed snakes. Individuals of this species are highly variable in colour and pattern. Some individuals have a distinctive pattern of irregular blotches down the back, alternating with dark spots along the side, on a background of grey, brown, tan, olive, orange, yellow, or pinkish colour, whereas others lack all patterning and are typically plain grey, brown, olive, or black. When threatened, it rears back and flattens out its head and neck like a cobra, then hisses and may strike, often leading people to think this harmless snake is venomous.
The Eastern Milksnake is tan, brown or grey and has large, black-outlined, red or brown dorsal blotches that fade as the snake ages. The Eastern Milksnake is often found in barns and stables where it readily finds small mammals, its predominant prey. Eastern Milksnakes are most common in regions with high forest cover. When threatened, the Eastern Milksnake will mimic a rattlesnake, vibrating its tail, but unlike rattlesnakes, they are not venomous and are harmless to humans.
Blanding's Turtle is a medium-sized turtle easily identified by its bright yellow throat and chin. Unlike most Ontario turtles with wide, flatter shells, Blanding's Turtle has a domed shell that resembles an army helmet. Its shell is black to brown with yellow flecks and streaks, its head and limbs are black-grey and the bottom shell is rich yellow. Blanding's Turtles live in shallow water, usually in large wetlands and shallow lakes with lots of water plants but can often be found hundreds of metres from the nearest water body, especially when searching for a mate or traveling to a nesting site. Unlike other Ontario turtles, the bottom shell is hinged and some Blanding's Turtles can completely close their shell after pulling in their head and feet!

There are a lot of reasons why a small or medium-size business may be unaware of the SEC and state restrictions involving investor solicitations. When news headlines feature only the failures of massive corporations, it is easy to convince oneself that the SEC or state securities regulators have bigger problems to worry about than a start-up company in a Pennsylvania suburb or a mom-and-pop shop in Des Moines. Likewise, there are so many instances of illegal investor solicitations seemingly going unnoticed that it may appear safe in assuming that you too can get away with taking some shortcuts. In reality though, the SEC and state investigators have every right to investigate investor solicitations no matter how small or innocuous you may think they are. And in reality, even unintentional capital raise regulatory compliance failures can have major legal and practical consequences.
Every aspect of the investor solicitation process is regulated: who you can make offers to, how you can make those offers, the location of offers, the type of investors. The list goes on. A breach of any of these seemingly small details can result in legal action, including criminal and civil proceedings. Your investors could sue you for failing to provide them with sufficient information. The SEC could sue you for disgorgement or bar your officers from accepting executive positions in the future. The bottom line is that a securities compliance failure is illegal and can result in lawsuits, fines, and even jail time.
SEC proceedings involving you or your company can have dire consequences for you outside of court as well. Being associated with an SEC investigation can mean the end of your online or community reputation. Media publication of your name while reporting on a suit may mean that your name is forever tied to the word "fraud" in the Google search bar. Banks will know this information and use it to reject loan applications or even accelerate payments due on outstanding loans, while potential employers will hesitate to hire someone with a toxic reputation. This can result in extreme financial and personal distress.
No matter how small or large your business may be, you need to educate yourself on SEC regulations. The SEC is designed to protect investors, not those businesses seeking to raise capital. That leaves it up to you as the business owner to find resources and counsel that can steer you in the right direction. As you can see, failure to do so may have far-reaching consequences. Don't risk getting caught up in such a situation because you did not know better or knew better but thought it was not as big a deal as it is.

Q: TCP server not responding I have the following TCP server written in Elixir utilizing the gen_tcp OTP module:
defmodule Test do
  def server() do
    {:ok, listen_sock} = :gen_tcp.listen(43594, [{:active, true}, :binary])
    {:ok, accept_sock} = :gen_tcp.accept(listen_sock)
    spawn(fn() -> poll(accept_sock) end)
  end

  defp poll(sock) do
    case :gen_tcp.recv(sock, 0, 20) do
      {:ok, data} ->
          IO.puts "#{data}"
          poll(sock)
      {:error, :closed} -> :ok
    end
  end
end

Test.server

As soon as I use telnet to connect to the server, it disconnects. Any idea as to what's going on?

A: I would assume it's because server() is returning after spawn() is called and your application exits normally. I would write it like so:
defmodule Test do
  def server() do
    {:ok, listen_sock} = :gen_tcp.listen(43594, [{:active, true}, :binary])
    {:ok, accept_sock} = :gen_tcp.accept(listen_sock)
    poll(accept_sock)
  end

  defp poll(sock) do
    case :gen_tcp.recv(sock, 0, 20) do
      {:ok, data} ->
          IO.puts "#{data}"
          poll(sock)
      {:error, :closed} -> :ok
    end
  end
end

Test.server

I haven't tested the above code, but that should fix your problem.

Awaiting Cub, Tiger Keeps Plans Flexible
Tiger Woods, known for his meticulous tournament preparation, accepts his schedule will have to be flexible for the rest of this year because of the impending arrival of his first child.
The world number one's Swedish wife Elin is expected to give birth early next month and Woods is uncertain how much he will play before and after the due date.
"I'm pacing myself already just because of the fact that I have a baby coming up," the 31-year-old American said during a PGA Championship teleconference on Monday.
"I don't know how much I'm going to play after that (the birth) or how much I'm going to play before that. A lot depends on how Elin is feeling and the health of our child."
Woods has already said he is prepared to miss the July 19-22 British Open at Carnoustie if the arrival of his first child clashes with the third major of the season.
Asked if he would be able to defend his PGA Championship title at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma from Aug. 9 to 12, he replied: "I hope so."
Regardless of what happens over the coming weeks, these are exciting times for the game's leading player whose life has changed dramatically since he mourned the loss of his father just over a year ago.
Woods celebrated a golden season in 2006 with 11 titles worldwide, including major victories at the British Open and the PGA Championship at Medinah.
"This time, this year, is totally different, from losing a father to becoming a father," he said. "My life is in two totally different places."
The 12-times major winner conceded he had struggled to get back into the rhythm of golf after his beloved father Earl died on May 3 2006 following a long battle with cancer.
"Every time I'd go practise I'd always think about my fundamentals and who taught me my fundamentals but my father," Woods said.
"It was hard to get away from it because a lot of the things I learned to do in the game came from my father.
"That was probably a more difficult task than actually getting back on the golf course because I have so many great memories of being with my dad on the golf course."
Asked to share his fondest PGA Championship memory, Woods replied: "Probably 2000.
"It doesn't really get much better than that but that's because I got to play with Jack (Nicklaus) in his last PGA.
"What happened on Friday afternoon on the last hole (after Nicklaus finished) and to win in a playoff for three majors in a row, I think that was a pretty good week."
Woods beat fellow American Bob May in a three-hole playoff for the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla, and went on to claim the 'Tiger Slam' by winning the Masters the following April to hold all four majors at the same time.

Antique Longcase Oak Clocks Archive - Allan Smith Longcase Oak Archive.
'Antique Oak Longcase Archive Clocks' have used oak for longcase clock case production from inception to the present day, and housed the entire range of movement/dial types but was really only used as carcass wood for the London examples. So London maker + oak case is highly suspect, though lacquered cases were sometimes in such bad condition that the lacquer work was removed completely, leaving the case as undecorated but original to the movement. Constructional details identify such.
A small, well proportioned, mid 18C, long door, plain oak , 8 day, longcase clock with square brass dial by Wilmshurst of Deal.
A very small, slim, nicely proportioned, mid 18C, quarter sawn oak , "Grandmother" clock by Peter Bower of Redlinch with 9" square brass dial, single hand and "birdcage" movement.

Iacomo di Benincasa

 Catherine's father who belonged to the wool guild in Siena. Raymond of Capua describes the family as,
                    "belonged to a highly respectable class and enjoyed a considerable degree of comfort"1
                  Scholars have long assumed that Catherine came from a modest home but Thomas Luongo argues that her family
                    were not simply wool dyers, instead that Iacomo was a wool shop owner, a distinct difference for Fourteenth-
                    century class status. Iacomo died in 1368 before Catherine became a popular figure but according to Raymond,
                    he fully believed she was holy. Raymond tells of Iacomo entering Catherine's room and a white dove hovered
                    over Catherine which signaled her holy destiny and from that moment on he supported her aspirations of
                    spiritual living. Raymond supports this by describing that, "Iacomo had granted his daughter the fullest
                    liberty in giving alms to the poor."2

Dubai, UAE, August 06, 2018: Coffee tables have been a focal point of any living room for years. This piece of furniture is put to a myriad of uses every day. It can be used as a display for a fresh set of roses or an enticing book. A well-designed table can complement the look and decor of the space.
However, choosing the right table is the first crucial step. A coffee table reflects the owner's style and choice. Home and Soul Dubai, a lifestyle concept store, consists of pieces from destinations dotted around the globe that are simplistic, yet carefully considered and defined. They have recently launched a new set of bronze embellished coffee tables starting from 1,600 AED. These can leave any room feeling sophisticated and well put together.
With items being on the same eye level, the table looks short leaving most of the decor quite concealed. To create a more eye-catching vignette, have a variety of heights displayed. Add tall accent pieces that will create visual interest. Adding an orchid or tapered candle will help to do the trick. Compositions work beautifully when displayed well allowing for a soothing structure.
Green creates the perfect aesthetic for any table. A low maintenance plant in the center of any coffee table will help accentuate any room highlighting the table. Set it right in the center for an organic, fuss-free way to bring life into your space.
The natural decor will add soothing neutrals in the place. Creating an organic setting will help imbibe that natural element. Whether sea shells, cuttlefish or hand woven bowls they will all help create a fresh aura around the area.
Using a few large books topped off with a decorative item will do the trick. Whether the latest magazine or and architectural digest they complete the norm of both aesthetic and use. Stacked books help provide a definite structure to any flat surface.
Home and Soul provides a place beyond shopping - it is a place to meet, a place of inspiration and a place to enjoy.


Leamington Spa Hospital now has solar power!
Following its successful installation of solar panel arrays at Warwick and Stratford Hospitals, Community Energy Warwickshire launched a new community share offer at the end of March 2014 to raise funds to install a solar panel array at a third hospital owned and operated by South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust: the Leamington Spa Hospital at Whitnash, near Leamington Spa.
Suitable roofs capable of carrying around 50 kWp of solar panels were identified at the hospital, and invitations to tender were issued in November 2013 to selected local solar panel installers. As a result, Stratford upon Avon firm Stratford Energy Solutions has been chosen to install high efficiency SunPower panels at the hospital.
Detailed discussionswere held with the Trust to sort out legal arrangements, and a community share offer to fund the scheme was launched at the end of March 2014. As a result of a very positive response by investors, Community Energy Warwickshire was able to install the solar panel array at the Hospital ahead of schedule, and the panels started generating on 10 June 2014 – and by the end of December 2015, over 80,000 units had been generated.

Q: UIAnimation block weird behavior Hello all and thanks for reading,
Im trying to make a simple wave animation using animation block:
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.6 delay:i*delay options:UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState | UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse animations:^{
        tab.frame = CGRectMake(tab.frame.origin.x,
                               tab.frame.origin.y-WAVE_SIZE,
                               tab.frame.size.width,
                               tab.frame.size.height);
    } completion:^(BOOL finished) {

        tab.frame = CGRectMake(tab.frame.origin.x,
                               tab.frame.origin.y+WAVE_SIZE,
                               tab.frame.size.width,
                               tab.frame.size.height);
    }];

The problem is when the animation is over, a weird jump sneaks in while im trying to return the views to it's previous state (because i'm using repeat effect) note the completion block.
If anyone encountered such problem please share,
Thanks again.

A: This is to do with when the completion block fires with respect to the layer updating from the view's model values, which are set to the middle of the animation. The only way i've found of making this kind of thing work 100% of the time without dropping down an API to CAAnimation is by chaining the animation in two halves as opposed to using UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse like so:
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3
                      delay:i*delay
                    options:UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState | UIViewAnimationCurveEaseIn

This ensures that, at the end of each animation, the view's model values (i.e. its current position) are the same as the animation's final frame. This means that you don't get that jitter effect.
This makes UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse seem a bit pointless. Why would one use it if it can leave the model values of the view different to the final frame of the animation? Well when combined with UIViewAnimationOptionRepeat it makes a rather pleasing effect that goes back and forth until removed.

A: jackslash is right. Another, simpler way of solving the problem in this simple scenario is to just save the frame before the animation, and then restore it, a la:
CGRect oldFrame = tab.frame;

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.6 delay:i*delay options:UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState | UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse animations:^{
    CGRect newFrame = oldFrame;
    newFrame.origin.y -= WAVE_SIZE;
    tab.frame = newFrame;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    tab.frame = oldFrame;
}];
