As with any service, it's always an excellent strategy to allow your dumpster as far ahead as you possibly can in order to make sure the dumpster will be available when you require it. If you wait until the final minute, there's no guarantee the business will likely have the ability to fill your order.
Two or three days notice is normally adequate to ensure your dumpster delivery on time. Remember the busiest days tend to be on Mondays and Fridays (surrounding the weekend), so if you're able to plan your mission for the midst of the week, you've got a better opportunity of getting the dumpster you'll need.
Dumpster rental firms that charge flat rates in many cases are the very best options for contractors and home owners. When you utilize a company that charges a flat rate, you can expect at least two advantages.
Paying a flat rate generally means that you get to prevent any hidden fees and charges. Companies that don't charge flat fees may include extra charges for basic services like dropping off the dumpster. Keep in your mind, however, that you still might need to pay extra should you need to include particular things and materials in the dumpster.
Having a flat rate also means you can prepare your payment ahead of time. This is particularly useful when you need another person to make the payment for you. When you understand the precise amount, you can write a check ahead of time. Subsequently, anyone can pay the rental business when its driver drops off the dumpster.
It is hard to conquer a roll off dumpster when you have a large undertaking that'll create a great deal of debris. Most rental companies comprise dropping off and picking up the dumpster in the costs, so you could prevent additional fees. Roll off dumpsters usually have time constraints because companies have to get them back for other customers. This really is a potential downside if you aren't great at meeting deadlines.
Dumpster totes in many cases are suitable for small jobs with loose deadlines. In the event you don't need a lot of room for debris, then the bags could work well for you. Many companies are also pleased to let you keep the totes for as long as you want. That makes them useful for longer projects.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster will get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions aren't perfectly conventional from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the largest size that a lot of dumpster firms usually rent, therefore it's perfect for big residential projects in addition to for commercial and industrial use.
Most people do not need to rent dumpsters unless they absolutely have to. At times, though, it becomes apparent that you should rent a dumpster in Golden for commercial and residential jobs.
Most cities WOn't haul away building debris for you. It is your responsibility to ensure you have an appropriate container to collect discarded material from remodeling jobs. Even in the event you just have a little project, municipal waste management is unlikely to haul the debris away.
A leading clean out can accumulate more trash when compared to a normal receptacle can carry. Renting a small dumpster is a more convenient option that'll prevent making multiple trips to the local dump.
If you have one of these jobs in your mind, then you understand it is time to look for a dependable dumpster rental service in Golden.
One of the most significant things to do when you're contemplating a building or remodeling job is to plan ahead. Part of that procedure will be studying your dumpster needs for the project. Understanding ahead of time how dumpster rental in Golden functions will make things easier when you start the procedure. You will find the majority of the overall info you need online, but for advice specific to your area, you'll need to call your local company. Ensure that you ask about any hidden or additional fees so you do not get stuck with a surprise bill.
Among the greatest parts of your research will be establishing the correct size container you should rent predicated on the size of the job. This will be your biggest cost, so be sure to get a size that's big enough to survive for the whole project. Other problems to research first include a possible place for the container, the type of waste which you're throwing away and the length of time you'll need the dumpster.
Building Dumpster Rental in Golden - Do You Want One?
The most frequent exception to this rule is when you've got a truck that's big enough to transport all construction debris to a landfill or landfill drop off point. If you are working on a tiny bathroom remodeling project, for instance, you could find that you can fit all of the debris in a truck bed.
Other than quite small jobs, it is suggested that you rent a dumpster in Golden for construction jobs.
If you're not sure whether your municipality accepts construction debris, contact the city for more info. You will likely discover that you will have to rent a dumpster in Golden. Setting debris outside for garbage removal could potentially result in fines.
When choosing a dumpster, though, it is often wise to request a size larger than what you believe you'll need. Unless you're a professional, it is difficult to gauge the exact size needed for your project. By getting a slightly larger size, you spend a little more money, but you also prevent the possibility you will run out of room. Renting a larger dumpster is almost always cheaper than renting two small ones.


To understand what happened at Haymarket, it is necessary to go back to the summer of 1884 when the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, the predecessor of the American Federation of Labor, called for May 1, 1886 to be the beginning of a nationwide movement for the eight-hour day. This wasn't a particularly radical idea since both Illinois workers and federal employees were supposed to have been covered by an eight-hour day law since 1867. The problem was that the federal government failed to enforce its own law, and in Illinois, employers forced workers to sign waivers of the law as condition of employment.
"Shortening the Hours Increase the Pay".
With two years to plan, the organized labor movement in Chicago and throughout Illinois sent out questionnaires to employers to see how they felt about shorter hours and other issues, including child labor. Songs were written like "the Eight Hour Day" (available on American Industrial Ballads, Folkways, FH 5251); everywhere slogans were heard like "Eight Hours for Work, Eight Hours for Rest, Eight Hours for What We Will!" or "Shortening the Hours Increase the Pay".
Two of the organizers of these demonstrations were Lucy and Albert Parsons. Lucy had been born a slave in Texas about 1853. Her heritage was African-American, Native American and Mexican. She worked for the Freedman's Bureau after the Civil War. After her marriage to Albert, they moved to Chicago where she turned her attention to writing and organizing women sewing workers. Albert was a printer, a member of the Knights of Labor, editor of the labor paper The Alarm, and one of the founders of the Chicago Trades and Labor Assembly.
On Sunday, May 2, Albert went to Ohio to organize rallies there, while Lucy and others staged another peaceful march of 35,000 workers. But on Monday, May 3, the peaceful scene turned violent when the Chicago police attacked and killed picketing workers at the McCormick Reaper Plant at Western and Blue Island Avenues. This attack by police provoked a protest meeting which was planned for Haymarket Square on the evening of Tuesday, May 4. -10. Very few textbooks provide a thorough explanation of the events that led to Haymarket, nor do they mention that the pro-labor mayor of Chicago, Carter Harrison, gave permission for the meeting.
Most speakers failed to appear. Instead of starting at 7:30, the meeting was delayed for about an hour. Instead of the expected 20,000 people, fewer than 2,500 attended. Two substitute speakers ran over to Haymarket Square at the last minute. They had been attending a meeting of sewing workers organized by Lucy Parsons and her fellow labor organizer Lizzie Holmes of Geneva Illinois. These last minute speakers were Albert Parsons, just returned from Ohio, and Samuel Fielden, an English-born Methodist lay preacher who worked in the labor movement.
The Haymarket meeting was almost over and only about two hundred people remained when they were attacked by 176 policemen carrying Winchester repeater rifles. Fielden was speaking; even Lucy and Albert Parsons had left because it was beginning to rain. Then someone, unknown to this day, threw the first dynamite bomb ever used in peacetime history of the United States. The police panicked, and in the darkness many shot at their own men. Eventually, seven policemen died, only one directly accountable to the bomb. Four workers were also killed, but few textbooks bother to mention this fact.
and union newspapers were closed down.
The next day martial law was declared, not just in Chicago but throughout the nation. Anti-labor governments around the world used the Chicago incident to crush local union movements. In Chicago, labor leaders were rounded up, houses were entered without search warrants and union newspapers were closed down. Eventually eight men, representing a cross section of the labor movement were selected to be tried. Among them were Fielden, Parsons and a young carpenter named Louis Lingg, who was accused of throwing the bomb. Lingg had witnesses to prove he was over a mile away at the time. The two-month-long trial ranks as one of the most notorious in American history. The Chicago Tribune even offered to pay money to the jury if it found the eight men guilty.
On August 20, 1886, the jury reported its verdict of guilty with the death penalty by hanging for seven of the Haymarket Eight, and 15 years of hard labor for Neebe. On November 10, the day before the execution, Samuel Gompers came from Washington to appeal to Governor Oglesby for the last time. The national and worldwide pressure did finally force the Governor to change the sentences of Samuel Fielden and Michael Schwab to imprisonment for life. Although 5 of the 8 were still to be hanged the next day, on the morning of November 10, Louis Lingg was found in his cell, his head half blown away by a dynamite cap. The entire event was most mysterious, since Lingg was hoping to receive a pardon that very day. Adolph Fischer, George Engel, Albert Parsons and August Spies were hanged on November 11, 1887. In June of 1893, Governor John P. Altgeld pardoned the 3 men still alive and condemned the entire judicial system that had allowed this injustice.
that had allowed this injustice.
The real issues of the Haymarket Affair were freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to free assembly, the right to a fair trial by a jury of peers and the right of workers to organize and fight for things like the eight-hour day.
While textbooks tell about the bomb, they fail to mention the reason for the meeting or what happened afterwards. Some books even fail to mention the fact that many of those who were tried were not even at the Haymarket meeting, but were arrested simply because there were union organizers. Sadly, these rights have been abridged many times in American history. During the civil rights marches of the 1960's, the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations and the 1968 Democratic National Convention, we saw similar violations to our constitutional rights.
May Day is Labor Day.
For years, half of the American Labor movement observed May 1 as Labor Day, while the other half observed the first Monday in September. After the Russian Revolution the May 1 date was mistakenly associated with communism, and in a protest against Soviet policy, May 1 was first proclaimed Law Day in 1960's.
The year 1986 marked the centennial of the Eight-Hour-Day movement and the Haymarket Affair. Folk singer Pete Seeger and a group called "The People Yes," named after Sandburg's volume of poems by that name, planned a nationwide celebration. This event offered teachers a unique opportunity to teach the facts about Haymarket and to correct the distortions and inaccuracies in our textbooks.

These drawings were submitted for the construction of a private condominium residence in Winnipeg's Waterfront Drive neighborhood. The space was an empty, long and narrow area with windows facing the river on the Master Bedroom end and a view of the downtown skyline at the other end. The client wanted the light and views to flow between the spaces, so we created an open plan that could be divided as needed for privacy with large sliding frosted glass doors.
An interior atrium around the stairwell allows light to flow into the center of the space from the skylight in the level above.
view to the atrium when desired and at the flip of a switch total privacy.

Many parents have considered what would happen to their young children if they died. Who would take care of these children? Would your chosen family be financially capable of adding your young children to their family? As terrifying as these thoughts are, they are important to consider as you plan your estate. This page will discuss your option to appoint a guardian of your minor child in your estate plan.
It is important to select a guardian for your children rather than leave the decision up to your family members. We have often seen familial relationships ruined as siblings, parents, uncles and aunts, and even cousins fight over what is best for your children. No one knows your children like you do, so you are in the best position to provide a caretaker for them. Once you have made your choice, it's important that you talk to this individual so they aren't caught off guard in the event they need to step in and care for your children.
If you have the ability, it's important that you adequately plan for your children's well-being by ensuring money is available for their needs. One of the best ways to do this is to set up a revocable trust with your children named as the beneficiaries. This trust can be funded with your home, cars, retirement, life insurance, savings, or any other kind of property. In this trust, you will name a trustee who will use the trust funds for the benefit of your children. These funds can be paid to their guardian for things like extracurricular activities, vacations, school fees, tutoring, medical bills, etc.
Can Anyone Object to who I Appoint as Guardian?
Yes. Any person who is interested in the welfare of your children may file a written objection with the court. They must file this objection before your selected guardian accepts the appointment, or within 30 days after notice of the guardian's acceptance. The objection alone doesn't disqualify the guardian, but if there is an objection, the court will likely hold a hearing to determine the child's best interests. Generally, however, the court will defer to your decision because they usually trust that parents know what is best for their own children.


The Federal Housing Administration is returning to manual reviews of higher-risk loans it insures because it's finding that a growing share have lower credit scores, higher debt-to-income ratios, or both.
Effective for case numbers assigned Monday, the FHA is making a change to its Technology Open to Approved Lenders Mortgage Scorecard system that reinstates manual underwriting requirements for certain mortgages with credit scores below 620 and DTIs above 43%.
"FHA will carefully monitor the impact of this change and is preparing to implement additional changes to maintain a better balance of managing risk and fulfilling its mission," the agency said in an email to single-family mortgage lenders and stakeholders.
This will mark the third time the FHA has changed this requirement in recent years. The agency originally introduced the manual underwriting requirement in 2013, but removed it in August 2016.
Certain FHA loan credit indicators are weaker than they have been in several years.
The percentage of traditional single-family FHA loans with DTIs above 50% recently rose to a high that hasn't been seen since fiscal year 2000. During the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2018, almost 25% of the traditional single-family mortgages the FHA insured had DTIs above 50%. The percentage of high-DTI FHA loans has continued to rise in 2019. More than 28% of the FHA loans endorsed in January 2019 had DTIs above 50%.
Also, the average FHA credit score, at 670, is the lowest it has been since 2008. More than 28% of the traditional single-family loans the FHA endorsed during the first quarter of the current fiscal year have credit scores below 640, and more than 13% of all traditional single-family mortgages the FHA endorsed during the same time period had credit scores below 620.
Additionally, there is an increasing concentration of loans that have both credit scores below 640 and DTIs above 50%, according to the FHA.
Fannie Mae also has tweaked its underwriting guidelines due to concerns about layered risks and higher DTIs.
DTIs above 50% are considered extremely high. A DTI of 43% or lower is needed to meet the Qualified Mortgage definition that gives loans a safe harbor from ability-to-repay requirements.
Government and government-sponsored enterprise loans have exemptions from have having to meet QM requirements that have been subject to debate.
Given the decline in loan prospects during the past couple of years and the pressure on lenders to bring in mortgages, there has been concern that risk layering could increase.
Multiple exceptions to standard mortgage underwriting contributed to the 2007 housing crash.

In the industry, the objective function is very often a simulator of a complex process. The constraints usually represents bounds on the validity of the simulator. Sometimes the simulator can simply crash when evaluating an infeasible point (a point which do not respects the constraints). For this reason, the optimization algorithm generates only feasible points (due to rounding errors, some points may be infeasible especially when there are non-linear constraints. Anyway, the generated infeasible points are always very close to feasibility ).
There are two possible approaches. The first approach is now described.
The problem of solving 8.2 is not trivial at all. It's in fact as difficult as the original problem. The only advantage in solving this subproblem at each step is that the objective function (which is ) evaluations are cheap and thus we can have very precise steps leading (hopefully) to a fast convergence to the solution of the original problem.
The same methods used for solving the subproblem 8.2 can be directly applied to the original non-linear objective function. This is our second approach (=``approach 2").
There are specific methods for box or linear constraints and for non-linear constraints. We will describe them in two separate chapters.

Sustainable Flow Ltd is a SME company for government approved pattented magnetic technology providing over night solutions to air pollution and hardwater damage for industry.
The Company provides innovative hi-tech ceramic ferrite magnets. When fitted to any vehicle engine or standing generators they reduce carbon emissions (Nox) by 70%. Recent road tests on a 4 week old EU level 6 Peugeot 1.6 diesel reduced Nox levels by 46.2% and achieved over 70% on a 2005 2.2cc Mercedes car.
The magnets are patented, are ISO 9002 rated and provide a lifetime guarantee.
Most governments are wasting huge sums of taxpayer's money on excessive numbers of surveys and reports and planning for the future electric car industry when they should be searching for innovative solutions that can provide immediate answers to the problem of vehicle emissions.
The good news is there is a readily available solution and in the absence of any alternative, we need to make the most of this opportunity. The only way to resolve the issue is to fit a cost-effective Sustainable Flow device to every vehicle, irrespective of size or age and this would ensure success.
To support this strategy Sustainable Flow has a network of over 4500 service centers throughout the UK and ROI ready to install the devices. These service centers will record details of every vehicle, and their corresponding test results (carbon reductions), which will be inputted into the national database and used for accurate data analysis and marketing purposes. The data will also be made available to DVLA (Government) and other interested parties.
Under this plan, all motorists who have a device installed in their vehicle would be exempt from paying the additional charges introduced for vehicles entering restricted zones which are just another way of creating an extra revenue stream.
PNC (motorway) cameras linked to DVLA and using our database could easily identify those vehicles already helping to reduce air pollution.


Thanksgiving is by far our favorite holiday. Families coming together, the football...okay, who are we kidding, the food!! At SitStay, we, and our amazing customers, treat our dogs like part of the family because they are. So we want to make sure our dogs have a delicious, and more importantly, a safe Thanksgiving.
Every year all over America, hopeful dogs are hoping to get some of those yummy Thanksgiving table scraps or handouts. From turkey to cranberries and everything in between it's important to know what you can and cannot give your dog.
We've put together a list of the most popular items that make up the good, and the bad parts of thanksgiving,to help keep the vet out of your post thanksgiving events.
A good rule of thumb is to not give the dog anything from the table. It's important to be careful because anything out of their ordinary diet can trigger dangerous gastrointestinal infections (GI) or pancreatitis. But if you do, plan to stick to the good items listed below and avoid the bad ones!
Don't let the "sweet" label fool you. Sweet potatoes are full of fiber, vitamins, and carotenoids and are actually healthier than regular potatoes. If you want to share sweet potatoes with your dog, set some aside without any salt or butter on them. Sweet potatoes are good as long as they ARE PLAIN. Nutmeg is bad, see below, but do not serve sweet potatoes with sugar and butter either. Plain sweet potatoes should be the only option for your dog. You can share a small can of sweet potatoes with your pup and give them their own version of Thanksgiving.
Turkey has always been the main event of the Thanksgiving meal. Your dog can eat some lean, cooked white meat, just try not to go overboard. Keep them away from the fattier dark meat which can cause dangerous pancreatitis.
Fresh, raw carrots have always been an ideal snack for dogs. Dogs love the sweet taste and carrots are loaded with vitamins, fiber, and potassium. Carrots can even be good for your dog's dental health. They aid in removing plaque from teeth and help keep your pooch's breath fresh. Offer them served raw before you add any butter or salt.
Low in calories, raw green beans make another great healthy snack for your dog. Green beans are loaded with nutritious vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Like carrots, offer them raw before they find their way into a green-bean casserole.
Full of vitamins A, B1, B2 and C, cranberries are great for dogs. In addition, they're well-known for helping maintain healthy urinary tracts. On Thanksgiving, if you're making cranberry sauce from scratch with fresh fruit, feel free to share. But Note: Do not give the canned cranberry sauce and jellied cranberry sauce to your dog, they are full of sugar and should not be given to pets.
Pumpkin is good for dogs to eat not only because it's low in calories and bursting with vitamins, beta carotene and fiber, but also because it helps with a dog's digestion. Pumpkin is great if your dog is suffering from an upset stomach, diarrhea or constipation. If you're using canned pumpkin for your pie, though, it's better not to share it with your family dog. The processed stuff isn't healthy for dogs like fresh pumpkin is.
Brussels sprouts are rich in fiber and vitamins, and they also boast cancer-fighting properties that can benefit your dog. You can feed Brussels sprouts to your pet as a snack raw or cooked, but make sure it does not contain salt, butter or any other dressing. Also Note: Offer them in moderation, too many Brussels sprouts can lead to diarrhea.
Fatty foods, the heart of any of traditional Thanksgiving meal can specifically trigger pancreatitis. Be aware of your dog. If they are vomiting, acting lethargic and / or experiencing abdominal pain could signal that there may be a problem.
Try adding 100% All Natural Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil to their dinner.
Turkey skin is a high fatty food, and as previously stated could cause problems. But turkey skin is also dangerous because it can absorb spices, marinade, butter and oils that can also lead to pancreatitis. Keep turkey skin out of your dog's Thanksgiving diet.
Cooked or Uncooked, all poultry bones (chicken and turkey) are especially dangerous to dogs. Poultry bones can splinter and cause all sorts of extremely dangerous problems. Not only can they splinter and puncture the intestines or stomach, but they also can cause obstructions in the intestine which will mean that your dog will need emergency surgery. Surgery is a best case, a bone can splinter and block the airway causing death. It's imperative to dispose of your bones safely and appropriately.
Try Barkworthies 12" and 6" Bully sticks instead!
Ever heard of "Macadamia Nut Toxosis"? It's a condition dogs can get when they eat macadamia nuts or walnuts, causing them to be unable to stand and inducing vomiting, tremors, fever, weakness and an elevated heart rate. This condition usually goes away but can lead to shock and even death. Keep dogs away from all nuts.
Combine with the cloud star treats below for a fun and delicious distraction!
You'll hear that sweet potatoes or pumpkin are OK to serve your dog. But, stay far away if they are spiced with nutmeg. Nutmeg can cause a dog central nervous problems, seizures and in some cases can even cause death. If you're using this spice don't let your dog near the foods that contain nutmeg.
A great treat to combine with the Mazee treat dispenser below!
Dough can actually rise in your dogs stomach! Yikes. This can obviously cause abdominal pain. But dough can also contain raw eggs, which can contain harmful Salmonella. This is the same reason why you should not egg raw dough either.
A great treat to combine with the Buster Cube!
While white turkey meat can be ok, the net that turkeys come wrapped in can cause trouble to your dog. Obviously you're not going to serve your dog a turkey net but if a dog gets into the trash they can ingest the netting which can cause an obstruction or blockage which can lead to surgery.
As we just described, the trashcan can be a real danger. Full of good smells (to a dog) they can explore the trash can and get in it. If they get into the trash we will have no idea what he or she may have consumed while we're busy cooking or entertaining.
Use smaller treats for an easier time getting them out and larger treats for a greater challenge, like the Plato EOS!
It's best just to keep your dog out of the kitchen. While we're running around trying to cook a million dishes, the dog may accidentally get tangled in our feet and trip up the cook. A little stumble can spill hot grease or other hot dishes and leave a nasty burn on the dog and on us. Even if the food doesn't land on the pet directly, the dog is able to quickly scarf up the piping hot food and burn his mouth. If possible, keep the dog out of the kitchen.
Family in and out of the house all day long can create quite a commotion, something different that what the dogs may be used to. If your dog has the kind of personality that they can get agitated with such craziness, do them a favor and find her a quiet place for her to be, so she doesn't get too scared.
That should be a big enough list to keep your dog both happy and safe at Thanksgiving. Be sure to sign up for our Good Dog Newsletter and get an instant discount!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our amazing customers and their dogs!

Crunchyroll to stream the new Sailor Moon anime Sailor Moon Crystal
Posted on May 29, 2014 by Adam
Last weekend at FanimeCon 2014 in San Jose Crunchyroll announced that the new Sailor Moon anime, Sailor Moon Crystal, would begin streaming on it's site starting July 5th at 3am. This new anime will be streamed with English subtitles as it is released in Japan on Niconico. The announcement was made on their website shortly afterwards.
Anime series can be streamed for free on the Crunchyroll web site. For those looking for a better experience there is a pay service which will allow you to view the shows in HD without ads and on all kinds of media devices for $6.95 a month. You can sign up for a free 14 day trial of this service though a credit card or PayPal account will be needed for this trail. It's certainly great to be able to watch a Sailor Moon series online streaming without commercials! It's unfortunate that Hulu doesn't have an ad free plan for fans of the original anime who are likely willing to throw their money at them but the fine people at Hulu have poor business sense and offer no such option.

Sailor Moon episodes 5 and 6 are now available on Hulu
The 5th and 6th episodes of Sailor Moon are now available subbed and streaming on Hulu. As was mentioned previously by Viz, who has acquired the rights to the series, two new episodes will be released every Monday! This week includes two new episodes which were previously not dubbed into English. For many nostalgic fans this is a great chance to check out these episodes for the first time!
Episode 5, Scent of a Monster: Chanela Will Steal Your Love has tensions grow between Shingo and Luna, who is integrating herself into the Tsukino family as a pet, as the Chanela appear in town. Shingo and his friend Mika, along with many other children, are hypnotized by the Chanela who are actually a plot by the Dark Kingdom. One has to wonder if the Chanela themselves were actually innocent creatures with autonomy created as part of this plot and discarded afterwards or if they were just mindless tools. This episode features an interesting twist as Usagi, disguised as Sailor Moon, hides her face from Shingo fearing he might recognize her. Later in the series Usagi's transformed self is never recognized by anyone. Perhaps Usagi, new to her powers, simply didn't realize this was the case so early in the show.
Episode 6, Protect the Melody of Love: Usagi Plays Cupid, has Usagi befriending a jazz musician Yusuke Amade, whose music is being used by the Dark Kingdom in order to collect energy. Usagi plays cupid in that she gives him advise on how to win over Akiko who he's interested in. Usagi uses her transformation pen to get into a club and in doing so sports a punky looking green hair style.

The Sailor Moon Pullip doll which was announced in March is available for pre-order in Japan and with that we have more details about it. The doll will be released in July and will cost a whopping 17,280 yen, about $170 US. Pullip dolls sure aren't cheap! This kind of price is expected for a licensed doll like this. Sailor Moon also comes with a mini stuffed Luna accessory.
The doll's height is 31 cm, a bit over 12 inches, with a 6.5 cm head, about 2.5 inches.

Schedule of Sailor Moon related events at Anime North 2014 May 23rd to the 25th
The Anime North web site has posted it's schedule for this coming weekend's convention. Here's a run down of the Sailor Moon related events which will be taking place at the convention which will feature as guests Linda Ballantyne, the voice of Sailor Moon, Katie Griffin, the voice of Sailor Mars, Susan Roman, the voice of Sailor Jupiter, Toby Proctor, the voice of Tuxedo Mask and John Stocker, voice director for the movies and later seasons of the anime.
Friday May 23rd:
5pm – Sailor Moon Merchandise and Media panel. This panel is run by Emily of the Moon Chase blog. I've been to this panel at other conventions in the past. It will be a run down of the current state of Sailor Moon as far as merchandise and rights goes. With a lot of new merchandise coming out and Viz getting the rights to the old and new anime this panel should prove interesting.
7pm – Sailor Moon voice actor autograph session.
9pm – Sailor Moon Resurgent. This panel will have the Sailor Moon voice actors sharing stories.
3pm – Sailor Moon voice actors. This is the Saturday Sailor Moon voice actor panel featuring the convention's guests.
4pm – Sailor Moon. I don't have any details about this panel. It seems to be a fan panel to discuss the show.

Watch Sailor Moon episodes 1 to 4 for free on Hulu
Following Friday's announcement of Viz's acquisition of the rights to the series, the first four episodes of Sailor Moon are now available to view with subtitles for free on Hulu and Neon Alley, including episode 2 which has never been dubbed. Viz will be releasing two new episodes every Monday from now on. Though the episodes can be viewed for free they will include commercials which can't be skipped. Hate commercials? That's too bad. Hulu's pay service Hulu Plus is truly terrible as it will not remove commercials.
The episodes are completely uncensored with English subtitles. The current episode previews are kept though they have been moved from before the credits until after the credits. Next episode previews are included in their normal spot at the end of the episode. Commercial bumpers are the only thing missing from these episodes.
Japanese DVD
The quality of the release is quite good. Since it is streaming it is not perfect but the quality is comparable to the Japanese DVD releases, the current best quality release there is, as can be seen with these example screen grabs.
The Hulu service is not available in all countries. As a Canadian I needed to use a proxy service to view the episodes. I use Unblock-US, a pay service, though others exist. I was not able to access the Neon Alley site directly even from a proxy. Though no legal Canadian option is available at this time Viz is trying to find a way to bring the show to Canadian. This includes talking to YTV about the possibility of airing it on TV. Once the DVD and Blu-Ray releases are out later this year, Canadians will be able to enjoy those.

Viz Media to release all 200 episodes of Sailor Moon subbed and with a new dub on DVD, Blu-Ray and streaming starting May 19th
After years of waiting the original Sailor Moon anime series has been licensed for distribution by Viz! The original Sailor Moon series will be released by them on DVD, Blu-Ray and streaming both dubbed and subbed. Viz has also acquired the rights to the new Sailor Moon anime Sailor Moon Crystal! This was announced on Friday, May 16th, at Anime Central.
The streaming subbed episodes will be released every Monday starting with the first four episodes which will be released on Neon Alley and Hulu with two new episode being released every Monday after that.
In addition to this subtitled release a whole new dub is being produced. This new release will be retaining all original names and story arcs, be completely unedited, and include all 200 episodes, including Sailor Stars which has never previously been released in North America and the 7 episodes from the first two seasons which were never dubbed. Viz has also acquired the rights to the three Sailor Moon movies and the specials. The new dub will be released streaming in late 2014. Details about the cast of the new dub will be announced at Anime Expo in Los Angeles the weekend of July 3rd to the 6th. This will likely be taking place on Sailor Moon Day, which is being held July 5th. Anime Expo will be having as guests a number of voice actors from the original dub of the Sailor Moon anime, including Linda Ballantyne, Sailor Moon, Katie Griffin, Sailor Mars, Stephanie Morgenstern, Sailor Venus, Karen Bernstein, Sailor Mercury, Susan Roman, Sailor Jupiter, Toby Proctor, Tuxedo Mask, Mary Long, Molly, Ron Rubin, Artemis and John Stocker, voice director. Though fans would love to see their favourite voice actors reprise their role there has been no indication one way or another that this will be the case.
These new releases will also be on DVD and Blu-Ray. The subtitled digital download releases will begin in Summer 2014 with season 1 part 1. The dub will be released with the DVD and Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack releases at a later date. The video is mentioned to be the remastered version from Japan, though details on this remastering process are not currently known. The DVD releases currently available in Japan are standard definition releases. The first season and movies are in 480p, progressive scan, though Sailor Moon R, S, SuperS and SailorStars have only ever been released on interlaced 480i DVDs in Japan to date. Based on comments made in an Anime News Network interview it would appear that the work has been done using post processing rather that going back to the original film source. The last DVDs released domestically from ADV were pretty much completely terrible, so we can certainly expect this version to be a vast improvement.
The following trailer accompanies this announcement:

In this study, experimental bending tests were performed on nominal 4-by 8-inch (actual 89-mm by 191-mm)lumber members to determine how a notch and holes drilled in the wide face affect edge wise bending strength. Holes were drilled at the midspan in three locations relative to the edge. The results appear to justify an allowable hole one-half the allowable knot size that is currently permitted for cedar in No. 1 Beams & Stringer grade. Furthermore, the data indicate that hole location may be as important as hole size. A1-inch (25.4-mm)hole had about the same effect on strength as a 1-3/4-inch (44-mm) hole when the holes were 1 inch (25.4 mm)from the tension edge.

Trump spooks Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro at the UN
Badgered repeatedly about prospects of U.S. military action in Venezuela at an impromptu press conference with Colombia's newly elected conservative president, Iván Duque, President Trump tried hard to blow the matter off before stating the obvious about Venezuela's military:
Q President Trump, I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about the military action again, but how dangerous is Maduro's regime for national security? And what you are going to do against him to stop him?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, it's dangerous for their security. It's dangerous for their people's security. It's a regime that, frankly, could be toppled very quickly by the military if the military decides to do that.
And you saw how the military spread as soon as they heard a bomb go off way above their head. That military was running for cover. That's not good. I don't think the Marines would have run. What do you think, General Kelly, do the Marines run when they hear a bomb go off?
GENERAL KELLY: They don't know how to run.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: They don't know how. (Laughter.) You know what they do? They run toward the bomb. Right? That's even better.
Prior to that, he kept up his stance about not discussing military matters, taking a dig at President Obama for constantly telegraphing U.S. intentions to its enemies.
Q Would you think of sending troops to Colombia, and maybe from there trying to manage the relationship with Venezuela? Maybe getting closer –
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I don't want to say that. I don't like to talk about military. Why should I talk to you about military? I'm going to tell you like President Obama – he used to say exactly what he was going to do – and then it would be 10 times tougher to do it. I don't do that. (Laughter.)
And that was after he was asked about it two times earlier:
Q President Trump, have you thought about a military intervention to Venezuela – or in Venezuela?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, we're looking very strongly at Venezuela. It's a horrible thing that's going on there. It's a very disruptive, dangerous – it's a horrible place right now. And this used to be – I remember not so long ago, Mr. President, that was the richest country in South America by a lot, and now it's a country that's going through tremendous turmoil. People are dying. People are being killed. They're also dying of hunger and lots of other things. The medical is in horrible shape.
We will always be looking at it. We have been looking at it. And we'll see what happens.
But what is going on in Venezuela really is unacceptable. And I know from the standpoint of Colombia and other nations fairly close by, it's very unacceptable also.
Q What's the most important thing for Maduro to do? What should Maduro do?
Q Every option is still on the table, Mr. President? Every option is still on the table against Maduro's regime? Every option, including military option?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: But, see, Maduro – if you look at it, you're asking about the regime. The Maduro regime is obviously is not doing the job.
First of all, it's brutal, and people are seeing what's happening. It's a horrible, horrible thing to witness. It's one of the truly bad places in the world today. And there are some other pretty bad places. But it's not acceptable to us, and it's not acceptable to many of the surrounding countries. Many of those countries, including Colombia, are taking in refugees who are literally starving. They're literally starving.
It's having a big impact on other countries. So – and they're doing a very good job with what they have to work with. They don't have that much to work with, but they're doing a good job. They're trying to help.
So the last response in the four-Venezuela-question press conference was pretty much the kicker. Trump opted to spook Maduro. He spoke of the things pretty much everyone noticed (revealing no classified information): that Maduro's military is crappy, that it scattered and ran when it came under fire, and with this kind of indiscipline and disorder, Maduro could pretty easily be thrown out if one of them got a mind to do it.
As an additional kicker, it didn't sound as though Trump would be all that upset if it actually happened – which the Miami Herald interpreted as a signal for the military to have at it, handwringing, of course.
This is interesting stuff, quite unlike the democracy posturing of the past two U.S. administrations, trying to sound all respectable as Latin nations, fearful of Venezuela unleashing its agitators in their own countries, constantly propounded.
What's more, Trump was telling Maduro the U.S. wasn't going to get involved in the mess he made, but if his own locals did, not a problem. In fact, the only thing Trump actually did was dish more sanctions on the Chavista elites, including Venezuela's utterly sleazy first lady, Cilia Flores, the one with the nephews who were busted by the DEA as drug-dealers. That threw the burden on Maduro to find who was out to get him, giving him a recipe for paranoia. That has got to scare the heck out of him, given that he wouldn't know where to look. And with Trump obviously laughing at him, it explains the harrumphing rage from his administration coming out of Caracas, with a Maduro official calling the whole statement "grotesque."
Fear. Trump deals fear to scummy third-world socialist dictators. He leaves it to the Venezuelans as to how it will be done, but he stands there and lays it out for everyone to laugh at, as well as let it become conventional wisdom. Bloomberg has a report out noting that ever since Trump brought up military intervention, polite society has now made that a topic of discussion at a minimum and drawn quite a few advocates. Prior to that, such talk virtually never existed.
Oh, and he not only stated the obvious about Venezuela's military, but also stated the obvious about Venezuela's socialism at his earlier United Nations General Assembly speech:
The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented. (Applause.) From the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venezuela, wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure. Those who preach the tenets of these discredited ideologies only contribute to the continued suffering of the people who live under these cruel systems.
It's a good thing to hear things told the way they are – both around the military and around the failure of socialism. Truth is fearsome, and Maduro is undoubtedly scared.

Longstanding holiday outreach efforts by McKees Rocks Mayor John "Jack" Muhr are this year taking on a new twist. He's challenging others to open their hearts and their wallets to those in need.
In year's past, the longtime mayor has shared in the holiday spirit by gifting turkeys to residents in need. This season he's pairing up with National Jefferson Award for Public Service recipient and resident Denise "Missy" Zellous and The Zellous Hope Holiday Celebration to do more.
Instead of making the usual gift of turkeys, Muhr will donate $300 to be used to purchase grocery gift cards. Recipients can then purchase a turkey or other holiday fare with the funds.
Just what does Muhr get out of his annual holiday project or from his 34 years of public service for that matter?
"Satisfaction. I'm trying to help people, that's the main thing. You see so many people in need. There are a lot of people struggling out there," says Muhr, 79.
A lifelong resident, he's been the McKees Rocks mayor for the past 16 years and before that, he served on the Sto-Rox school board and was borough controller.
According to Zellous, she only first crossed paths with the mayor this year when she started pounding the pavement looking for holiday donations. She commented on how at ease and comfortable she felt during their first meeting.
For the past 6 years, Zellous' project focused on participating in an annual toy giveaway and fun day for youth in need. With the mayor's help, she's now expanding to include a holiday meal drive for seniors.
This will be the first time the Holiday Celebration is held in the Sto-Rox region, she says. In year's past, the event has been primarily held in nearby Pittsburgh neighborhoods such as Sheraden and Elliott where Zellous previously lived. April 23 is Denise Zellous Day in the City of Pittsburgh.
Zellous says this year's toy drive will be available to residents in need from McKees Rocks, Stowe and beyond while Mayor Muhr's donation is earmarked specifically to McKees Rocks residents age 60+ who are in need of a helping hand. The food certificates he has sponsored will be split evenly amongst all McKees Rocks wards.
"I deal with senior citizens coming in [to the borough offices] every day asking for help. I have to explain to them that we can't do things on private property that would cost the borough money… but if it's something I can do, like clean up a sidewalk outside someone's house, I do what I can," says Muhr.
The Holiday Celebration toy give-away is set for Sunday, Dec. 10 at the McKees Rocks Borough Building, 340 Bell Ave., McKees Rocks. The holiday meal gift cards will be presented at a separate event (date and time to be decided).
To donate to the turkey fund or toy giveaway head online to fundly.com/share-your-awesome and mention "Jack Sent Me" in the comment box! Donations also can be made via mail to Zellous Hope Holiday, 731 Chartiers Ave. #505, McKees Rocks, PA 15136.

Chevron Corporation announced that its subsidiary, Union Oil Company of California (Union), has reached a final investment decision to proceed with the development of the Hess Corporation-operated Stampede project in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Stampede is a deepwater subsea development, which will be tied-back to a newly constructed Tension Leg Platform.
The project design capacity will be 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Project cost is expected to be approximately $6 billion. The drilling program includes a total of six production and four water injection wells. Drilling is planned to commence in the fourth quarter 2015 with first production expected in 2018. "This investment decision confirms Chevron's commitment to strategically grow our business in the deepwater by adding long-term development opportunities that will deliver value to shareholders," said George Kirkland, vice chairman and executive vice president, Upstream, Chevron Corporation.
"Moving forward on Stampede is another important milestone for Chevron in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, where we have a solid queue of major capital projects coming onstream, including Tubular Bells and Jack / St. Malo," said Jay Johnson, senior vice president, Upstream, Chevron Corporation. "Stampede is another example of Chevron's ability to profitably grow production in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico," said Jeff Shellebarger, president Chevron North America Exploration and Production Company.

Morning business round-up: Banks questioned over Libor
duration 16 August 2012
What made the business news in Asia and Europe this morning? Here's our daily business round-up:
Seven banks, including HSBC and Royal Bank of Scotland, are to be questioned in the US for alleged manipulation of the Libor inter-bank lending rate.
Barclays, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan and UBS have also received subpoenas from the attorneys general of New York and Connecticut.
Last month, Barclays was fined £290m by UK and US regulators for rigging Libor.
US regulators said they were investigating potential involvement by other banks in the Barclays scandal.
China's Premier Wen Jiabao has warned that the country's economy is under pressure and that it is facing problems that may last for some time.
However, he said that Beijing would be able to meet its growth target, despite those issues.
He said that easing inflation had given more room to policymakers to introduce measures to spur growth.
China has been hurt by slowing global demand for its exports and lacklustre growth in domestic consumption.
On-demand services like Spotify and We7 will generate £696m for the global music industry in 2012 - a rise of 40%, new research has suggested.
It means streaming music is the fastest-growing sector of the industry, overtaking downloads, which are due to see an increase of 8.5% this year.
CDs and vinyl still dominate the industry, accounting for 61% of all music sold worldwide. But sales of physical products dropped by 12% globally, and 30% in the UK.
Samsung has launched a new tablet, the Galaxy Note 10.1. The release comes midway through a patent trial involving the South Korean firm and Apple, in which each company has accused the other of copying its technology.
The new Android tablet distinguishes itself from the iPad by featuring a stylus and a screen which can measure 24 levels of pressure sensitivity. It also allows a split-screen mode in which two apps can be used at once.

UK retail sales rose 0.3% in July from the previous month according to official figures, despite predictions of a fall.
Sales volumes in the month were up 2.8% compared with a year earlier. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) also revised up figures for June to a rise of 0.8% from 0.1%.
The rise in spending adds to evidence that earlier estimates that the UK economy had shrunk 0.7% in the second quarter may have been too pessimistic.
Lenovo, the world's second-largest PC maker, has reported a rise in profits due to its still-growing home market and from sales abroad.
Beijing-based Lenovo made $144m (£92m) in the quarter to June, up 30% from the same period last year.
But the pace of profits growth was the slowest in more than a year amid signs that China's economy is cooling. However, Lenovo, maker of the ThinkPad, said that it remains "optimistic" on its growth prospects.
In the latest Business Daily programme from the BBC World Service, Kenya's trade minister talks about the effort the government is making to improve the investment climate.


Ramón Juliá has made the first ascent of La Rambla extension at Siurana, Spain. He proposed 9a+ for this route. Yesterday he did the route on his 4th try of the day, the first try he rehearsed the moves, the second and third try, he fell at the second jump and on the 4th, he fired it. He needed 40-50 tries in total. Dani Andrada was there and made two tries too but he didn´t have any luck, but 2 months ago he fell higher than Huber´s top site. Reaching the point where he fell could very well be 9a says Dani (La Rambla itself is 8c+). He congratulated Ramón and they drank a cava bottle. Considering Ramonet needed only 5 tries to dispatch Kinematix, 9a, the number of 8c+´s he´s climbed, and the fact that this line has withstood all attempts by other extremely strong climbers, for example Andrada, the only reasonable conclusion is that 9a+ must surely be the correct grade. This means it´s a contender for the hardest route in the world, challenging Akira, 9b, Orujo, 9a+, and Realization, 9a+. Maybe Flex Luthor should be on that list, but since it´s ungraded… Ramonet is #1 in the world ranking at 12 670, which is the highest score ever recorded. We will present an interview in a week or so.


So let's start with the small plates!! I loved these as it was like Thai tapas. Loads of bits to tuck into and great for sharing with friends if you can't make up your mind on what to have. We started with some fresh herb, pork and prawn spring rolls with a sweet chilli dipping sauce. What I loved about these were that they tasted fresh. The vegetables had some bite and the flavours were light and the sauce really complimented rather than over powered the flavours. We were also served some pork belly, sriraja prawns and chilli chicken wings but my favourite had to be the smoked vegetable suki jay. I don't get to go nuts with vegetables at home as Roo boy isn't a fan so when I eat out I go to town with the veg and this did NOT disappoint. They were smoked and chargrilled so had that smokey flavour but they were covered in a spicy sauce that had a real kick to it. It's a must have!
Are you ready for the large plates? Now these were something to behold!! I was already pretty full from the small plates but thankfully we were sharing. We were served 4 dishes including pork belly rendang and marinated pork shoulder but the 2 stand out dishes for me were the smoked sirloin with lemongrass and chilli and the nam tok sea bass. The sirloin was cooked to perfection. Smokey flavour with the subtle taste of lemongrass was such a great combination; I wish I didn't have to share that one! Now the sea bass, this was a pleasant surprise for me because I don't like fish at all but I thought "hey why not try it"! And I am so glad that I did! Someone else had to do the carving because I'm not great with my food still looking like the animal it came from but the meat was beyond delicious! So juicy and flavoursome, it had me going back for more. Now that says something!
Some sides were also brought out with the large dishes and the coconut rice was immense! The light sweet coconut flavour was great with the spicy pendang sauce with the pork belly and really complimented the lemongrass of the sirloin. It just brought everything together in a delicious fusion of flavours.
The food was fantastic as was the company and the service. If you don't believe me try it out for yourself, check out their website and book yourself a table pronto!! http://www.therailwaycheltenham.co.uk/ .
