Advanced Manufacturer Invests in Missouri With Continued Construction
Quaker Windows and Doors recently announced construction has begun on the third phase of its facility in Eldon, Missouri. Quaker aims to complete the expansion project by early 2022, which will create 300 new full-time jobs in the region.
"Quaker has been a key employer in Central Missouri for more than 70 years, and its success deserves to be celebrated," Governor Mike Parson said. "Over 1,000 Missourians are currently employed by Quaker, and by helping the company create even more good paying jobs, we are building a better future for the next generation."
The facility represents nearly $65 million in capital investment and is the company's second mid-Missouri campus.
"This new facility represents a continuation of our strategic growth plan for the Eldon campus, and we are very excited about the additional new jobs this will bring to the community", Quaker CEO Kevin Blansett said.
"So many state and local partners worked incredibly hard alongside Quaker Windows to ensure the success of this project," Missouri Department of Economic Development Director Rob Dixon said. "Their hard work will help this community grow for years to come."
"The City of Eldon is excited to see the next chapter in the Quaker story begin," Mayor Trevor Vernon said. "The city has been blessed that Quaker chose to be part of the community a couple of years ago. The new jobs are boosting the Eldon economy and we look forward to Quaker's continued success."

American Gods Episode 6
June 6, 2017 June 6, 2017 astaff26Leave a comment
This episode is going to be extremely difficult to summarize. This episode had a ton of stuff in it and I need to figure out how to unpack it all. I'm going to try to here but I gotta say, this episode is best watched and heard rather than summarized. The writing is more superb than ever.
I need to start with this; nothing in tonight's episode was in the novel. Absolutely nothing. However, it would fit so damn perfectly into the novel.
Also, this episode touched on some very hot button topics right now in America and it did so beautifully. I think to explain this I need to break it into two parts.
Part one, Shadow and Wednesday. They're on the run after the encounter with the new gods and Shadow tells Wednesday about Laura. Wednesday is not too thrilled by this and actively ensures Laura doesn't get to Shadow again. He takes them to Vulcan Virginia, a truly scary version of America. It's all industry, gun manufacturing industry to be precise. At the helm is Vulcan, god of fire and forge. The entire town worships him. They all know who he is and they all actively worship him. Hell, they even sacrifice to him once in a while in a "factory accident." Wednesday asks Vulcan to join his army of old gods, and Vulcan agrees. He even makes Wednesday a sword. Unfortunately, Vulcan has also sold out and become a franchise through the new gods. He says every gun fired is a new prayer for him, one that makes him stronger. His betrayal to Wednesday ends in his death and Wednesday and Shadow go off to find more friends.
Part two, the greatest trio to exist. Laura returns to the motel as Shadow and Wednesday drive away, as does Mad Sweeney. Sweeney is determined to get his coin back, so he offers to take her to a guy who can resurrect her without a magic coin. Win win. They try to steal a cab, which turns out to be Salim's cab. If you don't remember, Salim is the man in NYC who spent a night with a Jinn and was granted a new life. And now Salim wants to find that Jinn again. Salim offers to help them if Mad Sweeney (who says out loud that he's a leprechaun) can bring him to the Jinn. The three begin their road trip, and really between their scenes and the several speeches Wednesday gives this episode is the most powerful most beautiful one yet. Salim quickly figures out that Laura is dead and that he's part of their story now. Laura returns home to try and see her family again, but none of them see her watching through the windows. It's a beautiful scene that also shows Shadow's connection to her as he can see her in his mind when he thinks of her. She returns to Salim's cab and the trio begin the journey to Kentucky, where Mad Sweeney's resurrection guy is. Salim needs to stop to pray, and through his prayers and one line from Laura ("Life is good, Salim not Salim [which she calls him because he was given a new life and name by the Jinn]") we get such insight into all three of them. Seriously, this is the team of my dreams.
This summary does not do what I just watched justice. The writing, the power of this episode, is what you truly need in order to understand this episode. It was perfection. brand new American Gods perfection.
Next week is all about Mad Sweeney and his journey through America and in Wednesday's world. I am ready. Except not because I have a feeling I know how it's going to end. But I'm very ready.

We had a vote and decided no more theme weeks on imgflip, so this will be the last one.
Haha I thought you'd like that!
Don't stress, my comment's a joke. I'm just messing with OlympianProduct.
Ending something as popular as the theme weeks is just asking for us to do even more. That's how I roll anyways. Have fun, any way you can!
That's why I didn't upvote you till now. I was gonna add yesterday (but it wouldn't let me) that obviously it was a joke, so YAY!
Like you need more people or pets in your house!! Ha ha!
Oh my gosh, I so love her, the one in your meme.
I look on Pinterest for pics for memes, and started a board with her called "Startling Faces,,,"
Excuse the tardiness,,, Been busy lately plus when I start memeing, dang tablet goes wonky after a couple and freezes or knocks me off then I wanna throw it across the room so I leave till later and then things pile up to respnd too,,, YAY!!!
My gosh, that is horrible yet funny.
I found out with my first Samsung that punching them kinda hard is not necassarily a good thing. Flashed it, but I still used it for eBay and music on YouTube.

Nikon just announced their third rugged, waterproof Coolpix AW point-and-shoot camera. Perfect for people who like to play rough in the great outdoors, the new Nikon Coolpix AW120 has an improved 5x 28-140mm (equivalent) lens with a brighter f/2.8-4.9 aperture for better low light and action photos. The Coolpix AW120 also has Nikon's new Hybrid VR and full HD 60i video for noticeably smoother movie recording.
When I reviewed Nikon's first waterproof digital camera, the Coolpix AW100 (read the review), it was the best rugged point-and-shoot on the market. Nikon isn't resting on their laurels, though. Last year they followed up with the AW110, which added built-in Wi-Fi, increased the depth rating from 33 feet to nearly 60 feet, and improved the shockproofing so it could handle drops of over 6 feet. The new Coolpix AW120 has the same rugged specs – and really, why shouldn't it? How many of us are actually going to go 60 feet underwater? The AW120 is more than capable of handling snorkeling, casual SCUBA diving, whitewater rafting, surfing, etc. There aren't very many people who are actually capable of breaking one of these cameras.
After the Nikon's original AW100 came out, the competition turned up the heat with larger aperture lenses that capture more light for better low light image quality and better action photos. So Nikon gave the new AW120 a fast f/2.8-4.9 aperture. At the wide end of the zoom, the new lens captures twice as much light as the previous model. That's enough to make a real difference in poor light, or if you're trying to get a sharp skateboard or mountain bike photo. If you need more than the 28-140mm zoom, the AW120 has a new feature called, Dynamic Fine Zoom, which doubles the reach of the lens. Yes, it is a form of digital zoom but the Nikon reps I talked to assured me it's nothing like the standard digital zoom we usually just turn off and ignore.
Video in the Coolpix AW120 has also been improved. Nikon increased the frame rate to 60 frames per second, interlaced (60i). That means smoother-looking video, right out of the box. There's also a new feature called, "Hybrid Vibration Reduction (VR)," which I was told makes "really impressive, extremely steady video." If you've ever tried to record video while walking, skiing or biking, you'll know that really is a big deal.
Built-in Wi-Fi is becoming a standard camera feature now. As I said earlier, Nikon introduced it to this camera line in the previous model. But it's worth explaining again for those who haven't seen it and might not understand what it actually does. Basically, with Nikon's app installed on an iOS or Android mobile device, you can wirelessly transfer photos and videos from the camera to your phone or tablet and then share them via your mobile network. The Nikon mobile app also allows you to control the camera from your phone. To see built-in Wi-Fi in action (with other cameras), check out my digital camera Wi-Fi demo video.
Don't want to carry a point-and-shoot camera and a helmet cam when you're on your bike or the ski slopes? Nikon's got your back. To go with the new Coolpix AW120, Nikon is introducing a new chest harness so you can use the AW120 just like you've use a GoPro or any other action cam.
The Nikon Coolpix AW120 will be in stores next month (March, 2014). The suggested retail price is US $349.95 and it will be available in in blue (as shown, above), as well as camo, orange and murdered-out black..

Sega is planning to reward Sonic fans for their platform loyalty when it launches Sonic 4: Episode II on Android.
You see, if you already own Sonic 4: Episode I on Android, and are planning to pick up the next episode on the same device, you'll be able to unlock a special bonus story free of charge.
The extra content - entitled Episode Metal - puts you in the chrome shoes of Sonic's shiny nemesis, Metal Sonic, and aims to fill in the missing story between Sonic CD and Sonic 4: Episode II.
According to the chaps at Sega, you'll have to put Metal Sonic back together as you zoom across four reimagined acts from the first episode.
While we can't be too specific at present, we can reveal that both Sonic 4: Episode II and Episode Metal will be sprinting onto Android in June.


The scandal at VW has made one thing very clear – the options for achieving continued significant reductions in exhaust gas emissions by further refining the combustion engine are almost exhausted. In addition to this, questions are being asked about whether the driving cycles used in exhaust emission tests bear any relationship to reality whatsoever.
The more realistic exhaust emission tests currently under discussion will result in modified development priorities for both diesel and petrol engines. The need to achieve optimum combustion via high injection pressure will, however, remain. Exhaust gas treatment may possibly become more complex, thus making engines more expensive.
P+P is well-positioned to handle such a scenario. The company is at the technological forefront of the production of rails and pipes for high pressure applications. We already supply rails and pipes for pressures of 3000 bar and more. All key processes within the value creation chain are located at P+P sites and our mechanical engineering department supplies the testing facilities used to test and validate these and many other relevant components. We thus have the capabilities required to react flexibly to any changes which may occur.
Even if the VW scandal should have an adverse effect on the future of the diesel engine in smaller passenger vehicles, P+P still has good prospects. The lion's share of our diesel components are used in commercial vehicles and high-end passenger vehicles. In these segments, the diesel engine will continue to make an important contribution to enabling mobility which is as environment-friendly as possible.
Over and above this, our specialisation in the highest level of precision ensures that we have good opportunities for growth in markets other than the diesel engine. We are participating in development work on gas and hydrogen motors. R+W is also having great success in completely different markets and our pipe milling subsidiary is, surprisingly, the first P+P company to begin the transition to Industry 4.0.
At the technological forefront when it comes to high precision metal working; flexible and innovative in existing and many new markets – this is the basis upon which P+P plans to further expand. Allowing us to turn a crisis into an opportunity.
Gaseous fuels such as natural gas, bio-gas and hydrogen are an environment-friendly and also competitively priced alternative to conventional diesel or petrol. The corresponding technology and infrastructure is, in some cases, still being developed. Nevertheless, the fleet operators and manufacturers of lorries and buses are showing considerable interest. Focuses in this context are the development of new systems and the retro-fitting of existing common rail engines.
The VDI (Association of German Engineers) magazine reports that natural gas, which can be obtained cheaply, has the advantage that it can lead to a 20 to 35 per cent reduction in fuel costs in comparison to diesel, as shown by studies commissioned by MAN. Mercedes Benz estimates that CO2 emissions are 20 per cent lower. In addition to this, the German Energy Agency (DENA) states that natural gas generates almost 90% less nitrogen oxides; emits virtually no fine dust particles and provides noise emission benefits.
Poppe + Potthoff develops common rails and high-pressure lines for gas and hydrogen engines.
When developing components for gas and hydrogen engines Poppe + Potthoff can draw on many years' experience with diesel motors, for which the company has been delivering common rail subsystems since the 1990's. Studies show that the materials and designs used for these systems are also perfectly suited for gas applications.
The series of tests were carried out by German testing organisation TÜV Saarland. In the case of Poppe + Potthoff components the interfaces between the rail and the pipe performed significantly better than other systems with classic O-ring seals at extremely low sub-zero temperatures. "This represents a major advantage in terms of safety for applications involving highly compressed gases," adds Harhoff.
Poppe + Potthoff is now supplying customers in the USA, Canada and Europe with common rails and pipes with internal diameters ranging from 3 to 6 mm and validated for gas pressures from 300 to 700 bar. All prototypes undergo extensive tests at the Technology Centre in Werther and the data is forwarded to customers for evaluation. The state-of-the-art production plant in Ajka, Hungary makes efficient serial production possible.
Poppe + Potthoff is leading the way in the "it's OWL" technology network – Intelligently networked measuring and control technology will enable continuous optimisation of tube production.
Poppe + Potthoff is the new partner of the "it's OWL" excellence cluster. The abbreviation stands for Intelligent Technical Systems OstWestfalenLippe (East-Westphalia-Lippe). At the company's main plant in Werther a drawing plant for precision steel tubes is now being modernised to reflect the latest standards in measuring and control technology. The reference project is laying the groundwork for an "intelligent factory" which enables highly automated but simultaneously highly flexible, customer-specific manufacturing.
On 8 September 2015 the project partners came together for the official kick-off meeting. Together with experts for mechatronics and automation & control technology from the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT) and the University of Paderborn's Heinz Nixdorf Institute Poppe + Potthoff will be equipping a precision steel tube production line with intelligently networked measuring and sensor technology to make it "fit for the future" – Industry 4.0.
When the project has been completed it will be possible to gather and analyse extensive process and quality data as well as to develop statistical models and rules to allow quasi-online control of the production line. "The system will not only make it possible to optimise process reliability, productivity and product quality but will also create the basis for innovation," says Bengt-Henning Maas, CEO of Poppe + Potthoff Präzisionsstahlrohre GmbH.
Schematic flow chart of the project phase focuses.
Automotive components of the future have a home – the cutting-edge Technology Centre at Poppe + Potthoff's main plant in Werther, where the company is bundling development of next-generation products. "Every year we develop, manufacture and validate 300 to 500 new product variations for customers from all over the world. Testing of small quantities of these products is carried out with the objective of mass producing them one to two years later," explains Norbert Retzlaff, Head of Prototype Construction.
Norbert Retzlaff, Head of Prototype Construction and Michael Rieger, his deputy and a master craftsman.
Design and engineering specialists, skilled workers and test engineers work in hand in hand at the centre to turn sketches and specification documents into usable products in just a few days. Poppe + Potthoff is often able to present new common rails, high pressure pipes and numerous complex high precision milled parts such as high pressure pipes at first meetings – customers value this flexibility and speed.
Transparent, well-organised and clean. The prototype manufacturing facility seen from the inside.
At the Technology Centre all the processes of the value addition chain are grouped around the central quality laboratory – from construction using cutting-edge CAD and FEM programmes to precise metal working on near-series machines and autofrettage. Customers are able to see the relevant production steps and receive expert measuring and validation reports at a very early stage.
In addition to dimensions, the hardness, surface roughness and the contours of the components are measured precisely. Bending and vibration tests as well as dynamic pressure tests – for example pressure pulsation testing up to 6000 bar or bursting pressure tests up to 12 000 bar – are also carried out.
Thanks to its customer-oriented creativity and commitment R+W Antriebselemente has developed from a start-up company to a world leader in precision and industrial drive couplings in just two and a half decades. The requirements of highly specialised customers resulted in the company growing into numerous markets and industries and today R+W has close customer relationships in over 50 countries, with half of the around 200-strong workforce employed outside of Germany.
One focus of the company, which was acquired by Poppe + Potthoff in 2011, is on servo drive technology which, for example, enables the highly dynamic, precise movements of industrial robots. In such applications the torque to be transmitted is continuously increased.
In addition to precision couplings for applications from 0.5 to 25 000 Nm R+W has also expanded its product range to include industrial drive couplings with current capacities of up to 348 000 Nm.
Whether in marine or mechanical engineering; transportation or medical technology; wind power or automation systems, drive elements from R+W ensure reliable, safe transmission of power in numerous variations. "In the bellows couplings segment we are currently the world market leader," says company manager Frank Kronmüller. On 17 October R+W will be celebrating its anniversary in Klingenberg with a culinary journey around the world, showing that even after its first 25 years the company is still full of "DRIVE: Dynamic, Reliable, Innovative, Versatile and Expanding".

How do you Get Your Vibes?


I started with a vd5m. I gathered some information about the used chipset (a cc2510), got a cc-debugger for it and started blinking leds. That was quite easy once you get used to the sdcc compiler. After tracking all traces and writing down a pinout i started to work on the receiver code. When i got it working i started adding more features such as SBUS output.
Recently i got annoyed by the fact that all my D4R-ii receivers did not support SBUS. This is why i started to port my VD5M code to the STM32F0 architecture of the D4R-ii receiver. After some modifications, introducing a hardware abstraction layer and some testing i finally got my code to support both targets. A new feature was added as well, the code supports incoming serial hub telemetry — you can hook up that port to your flight controller and receive various telemetry data on your tx.
When i was building my TinyWhoop F3 i found not lightweight RX for it. So i developed uSKY, the worlds' smallest FrSky compatible RX. It weights <0.5g and is really tiny, features full SBUS and hub telemetry support. Of course it also runs OpenSky.
This is my approach of building a tiny flight controller with an integrated uSKY receiver.
You can find my code on my Github repository https://github.com/fishpepper/opensky.
I will add more information and tutorials for flashing soon.
THIS SOFTWARE IS FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY!
DO NOT use this software to control real planes/quadrocopters.
This is for educational use only, bad things could happen if you run this on a real vehicle. Its meant to be used on indoor and/or small vehicles.
Using this code will probably void its FCC compliance and might void transmission laws depending on your country!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE/INJURIES CAUSED BY USING THIS CODE!
This is for the old international D8 protocol.
Due to a lack of time I will not put work into that. Anyway pull requests are highly welcome!
Hey i am really interested in tinyfish fc since it has an integrated receiver in it, few questions on mind, what ports / uart of serial rx will i have to turn on in betaflight to activate the integrated receiver? what if i messed up the receiver and for some reaon i cant activate it… is it possible to solder an external receiver for example frsky xm+ ?
It should work out of the box. The tinyFISH bf firmware includes all settings. You can load the defaults. You can always connect a receiver to the UART3 pads next to the usb port.
I was wondering how complicated it would be to add support for the D8R-II receiver? I've got a few of them sitting around doing nothing.
It's just a matter of writing the right configuration files for it… Should not be too hard for a programmer.
I have assembled your versions of open source FC with integrated receiver. I see it has hub telemetry via SBUS but how about SmartPort? Will it be hard to implement such feature? It's really handy with the new LUA scripts on OpenTX to now change PID's and RC rates. Thanks a lot for all the hard work you put in to make these projects!
Hello again Simon! I posted this in the uSky post, but the comment seems to have disappeared, so I'm posting this here since it's more relevant to the OpenSky. I just finished building and flashing uSky receiver, and it seems to work as I got it to bind and I can get RSSI on my Taranis as well 🙂 Can you tell me how can I compile firmware with SBUS enabled instead of CPPM output? Should I change anything in config.h? Please excuse my lack of programming skills. Thanks a lot for help and open sourcing this amazing creation!
For me, when I compiled the firmware (it was a bit complicated) I did not require to make any modifications to work in SBUS mode.

Cablevision's recent efforts should help its cable segment continue growing.
With a growing percentage of households either cutting the cord on cable or never signing up in the first place, some cable operators have taken interesting approaches to attract customers. Verizon's (NYSE:VZ) efforts with Custom TV, its take on pick-and-pay pricing, have been well-covered. Another company that's getting less attention for its efforts to attract cord cutters is Cablevision (UNKNOWN:CVC.DL), which has several steps in the last couple of months to attract customers who aren't interested in the big bundle of channels it typically sells.
Cablevision has been losing a lot of those subscribers to cord-cutting and competing services from telecom companies like Verizon. Last year, the company lost 132,000 total video subscribers. In the first quarter of this year, it saw an acceleration in video subscriber losses, with 28,600 subscribers going elsewhere for video entertainment, up from 14,000 in the first quarter of 2014. All told, the company lost more than 1% of its video subscribers last quarter.
So, here's what it's doing to stop the bleeding.
Time Warner (NYSE:TWX.DL) announced the launch of HBO Now in March, naming Apple as its exclusive hardware partner for the launch. While Apple is the exclusive hardware partner, HBO's relationship with pay-TV providers meant that it also extended the opportunity to offer HBO Now to all of its distribution partners.
Cablevision has been the only provider to take HBO up on the offer, and is offering HBO Now to its customers even if they don't subscribe to the company's video service.
Other cable companies have offered special deals focused on HBO, bundling Internet service with a skinny bundle of channels and HBO, but Cablevision is the only provider that lets you have HBO Now and won't hit you with fees for a set-top box or HD video service or other miscellaneous charges. As such, customers in areas Cablevision serves -- particularly those without an Apple device -- are more likely to sign up for Cablevision's service over the competitors.
How about the best of both worlds?
Last month, Cablevision struck a deal with Hulu to bring its service to subscribers. Cablevision customers will be able to access Hulu directly from their television remote, and won't need to switch to a set-top box or casting device to access the streaming service's library.
Cablevision is the first pay-TV operator to strike such a deal, likely because the move is counterintuitive. While over-the-top streaming services and cable publicly state they offer complementary services, there's mounting evidence that cable companies are not happy with the amount of time customers spend watching Hulu, Netflix, and HBO Go/HBO Now.
Verizon and others charged Netflix for interconnections with their networks in order to speed up delivery of Netflix's streams through the last mile. Previously, they had held out for money from Netflix at the expense of their customers' ability to stream Netflix videos during peak hours. (That's another area where Cablevision has been customer-friendly, allowing Netflix to integrate its servers with its network early on.) And we're seeing cable companies practically boycott HBO Now.
Cablevision's approach to give customers what they want differentiates its service from competitors. So when Verizon expands into its territory, it's more likely Cablevision customers will stick with Cablevision.
If you really want to cut the cord, and only pay for Internet service, Cablevision will help you do it. Last month the company began offering a package targeted toward cord cutters aptly named the "Cord Cutter Package."
Cablevision will provide subscribers to one of its packages targeted at cord cutters with a digital antenna free of charge. And it's not rabbit ears: This thing retails for $90 and it will pick up any broadcast channel within 50 miles. Additionally, customers will be able to subscribe to HBO Now, which, as mentioned, is an exclusive offer from Cablevision at the moment.
So, even if customers are going to cut the cord, Cablevision is doing everything it can to ensure that it's going to extract some revenue out of them. It already has more high-speed data customers than video subscribers, but growth in that segment is slowing, too, as Verizon moves into its territory. Last quarter, Cablevision added just 7,000 new Internet subscribers to reach 2.77 million. For comparison, Verizon added 41,000.
Cablevision is doing everything it can to keep customers happy and attract new ones. Even if they don't bite on its video service, Cablevision wants to provide Internet service. If its recent initiatives are successful, the company could continue to grow its cable division revenue and cash flow despite the growing trend of cord-cutters and cord-nevers.

Masters of weaponry and combat, the Spartan warriors were skilled in arms, and carried a select choice of weapons with them to ensure they were fit for combat at any range. In many ways the Spartan's choice of weaponry was frugal yet calculated, allowing them to adapt to various combat situations in the blink of an eye.
While not traditionally a weapon the Spartan warriors sheild, known as an Apsis will feature here, mainly due to the way in which the ancient Spartan warriors would use it. The Apsis could be used defensively or pro actively as a weapon against their opponent.
Trained from a young age to handle weapons, and with a fearsome reputation in the eyes of their foes, a fully matured Spartan was a dangerous enemy for any fighter. The Spartan warriors were truly skilled and adept and considered some of the greatest weapon handlers of the Greek empire.
A short short, the Xiphos was the close quarter weapon used by the Spartan Warriors and typically their second choice weapon, should they be forced to use it. Traditionally much shorter than a Greek Xiphos the Spartan's short sword would prove advantageous when in close quarter battle, with easier manoeuvrability, being able to inflict damage where a longer sword would be much harder to wield.
The Xiphos sported a leaf shaped straight blade, and would traditionally have been made from bronze or iron, due to the leaf shape nature not requiring the strength that comes from stronger metals like steel.
The Kopis was an alternative sword used sometimes by the Spartans. The Kopis was a longer curved blade that used to cut and thrust when attacking the opponent, and featured a single edge as opposed to the duel edge of the Xiphos.
The Spartans would wield the Kopis one handed, and even though it was widely considered to be a suitable blade for use when on horseback, the Spartans with their battle skills would have used it effectively from the ground too.
Another weapon the Spartans would make use of was the Javelin. Used from long range the Javelin is a throwing weapon the Spartans would employ before closing the distance on their foes. Common in the Ancient Greece, the Javelin was quite a short throwing weapon, typically three feet long, and constructed from a wooden handle combined with a bronze tip used to pierce and damage the recipient.
The Dory was a spear weapon used by the Spartans, the Dory was truly a hefty spear and could be up to 9ft long in length. When used by the Spartans this spear would be weiled with only one hand, allowing the Spartan to maintain and protect himself with his Apsis shield.
When wielding the Dory to attack the Spartan would mix both upwards and downward strikes at their opponents, with both underarm and overarm use of the Dory producing slightly different results.
The Apsis was the shield of the Spartan warriors and much loved. Although one may consider the Apsis a defence weapon, in the hands of the skilled Spartans it could also be an attacking weapon.
The Apsis is a multi material construction, and completely round in shape. The shield would start as multiple layers of wood, with a layer of leather before the outer bronze exterior. The construction of the Apsis allowed the Spartan warrior to withstand most weapons glance, and if needed was a suitably heavy blunt force weapon.


A group of activists led by human rights lawyer Andrew Karamagi and a one Brian Atuheire have petitioned the speaker of parliament and the appointments committee imploring them to decline the re-appointment of the police chief Gen Kale Kayihura.
Addressing journalists this morning, Karamagi asked that parliament's appointments committee instead interrogates Gen Kayuhura's 12 year tenure and his suitability for the position.
The activists accuse Kayihura of being partisan, brutal especially to the media and his failure to improve the welfare of the police force, a claim he has often denied.
Early this week, the media was awash with reports that President Museveni had re appointed Gen. Kale Kayihura as Inspector General of Police for another three year term, placing him at the helm of the country's law and order agency until 2020.


In addition to numerous curriculum-related events and activities, Massey students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of student organizations such as the Massey Graduate Council, Massey Golf Network, Massey Milers Club (running), Beta Alpha Psi (national accounting honorary), Beta Gamma Sigma (national business honorary) and a host of volunteer service opportunities (e.g., Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Martha O'Bryan Center).
Beta Alpha Psi is an international honorary organization for undergraduate and graduate accounting, finance and information systems majors. Membership in the Beta Alpha Psi honor society provides opportunities for continued growth in your chosen field. Members are required to be active participants. Belmont's chapter expects each member or pledge to average 10 hours of participation per semester (measured in 50 minute increments). Of those 10 hours, a minimum of 3 hours should be in professional activities (attending speaker events or training) and a minimum of 3 hours should be in service activities. Both speakers and service opportunities are designed to enhance your education and experience. Service activities may include tutoring, working in the accounting clinic, participating in the IRS program assisting with tax return preparation (VITA) or participating in community service.
Career Fairs and networking opportunities are abundant on and off campus. The Career Development Center hosts periodic seminars to provide Massey students with the career knowledge needed to gain workplace advantages. The Massey School sponsors career fairs throughout the year, bringing significant employers from all industries.

Alumni serve for one year as interns on the Board of Directors for various organizations in Nashville.


Paris, April 13 — President Emmanuel Macron is right: "France is back!" But not postcard France — angry France! Its anger broods at the foundation of French society and has its reasons, plenty of them. There is no need to review them all; one article would not be enough.
But one factor dominates all others: for decades, the continued, stubborn pursuit of neoliberal policies has torn apart the social fabric, impoverished the working class, made jobs more precarious, compressed wages, thrown masses of people out of work, shredded ties of solidarity, sharpened selfishness, glorified the despicable values of capitalism, promoted the crude reflexes of consumerism and promoted an attitude of submission.
And we would expect the people not to react?
Appointed by Macron, the current government, led by Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, supposedly "neither right nor left" (but then what? "extreme-center"?) has eliminated the tax on extreme wealth and increased fees paid by employees and retirees. He has offered astronomical grants to transnational corporations that lay people off, but compressed public service budgets. Day-by-day, drop-by-drop, he pushes the country toward a Europe that is anti-social, authoritarian and subordinate to U.S. hegemony.
Although Macron has a parliamentary majority under his total control, he is pushing through his employer-dictated program by a parliamentary maneuver that enacts a bill without a vote. Such ordinances bypass the deputies even of his own new party, La République en Marche (On the March). Macron also has announced new privatizations, as if neoliberalism had not long proven its universal failure.
This is why a revolt is growing in France.
The backdrop to the rising conflicts lies in defeats suffered by workers in recent years. One was the fight against pension "reform," which the disunited unions lost in 2010. Then came the fight against labor law "reform," which started out as the "Macron law" and then was renamed the "El Khomri law," which likewise lost last year. [El Khomri was minister of labor in the last Hollande government.] This battle to defend the rights and interests of workers was led by the CGT (General Confederation of Labor) until late 2017.
Because it fought alone, or almost alone, the CGT could not prevail, especially since some of its leaders are less than combative. The unions had to resist the repression directed at these struggles. This repression extended to the "criminalization" of such trade union actions as the "sequestration of executives" at Goodyear, the "tearing of executives' shirts" at Air France, and resistance at Peugeot and in other companies where activists have been discriminated against and even condemned to suspended prison sentences.
This is why struggle is intensifying.
Even temporary workers were able to lead strikes — which is unprecedented — including those in fast food outlets and Afro hairdressing salons. In no particular order, the unemployed, homeless, undocumented, retirees, pacifists, anti-fascists, ecologists and other activists have also protested.
For weeks, students have been mobilizing. Many of them oppose the government's education "plan" to make university entrance more selective. They have totally blocked several university centers, including those at Paris 1 (Tolbiac), Paris 8 (Saint-Denis), Montpellier and Toulouse. The authorities responded to the student uprising by sending in the CRS national police brigades on April 9 to club young rebels on the Nanterre campus!

The year 1968 was one of great turmoil and unrest. It was a time when revolution seemed to be bubbling up in countries all around the world. Giving thorough attention to all the events of that explosive year and what lessons they might offer us today would take a great deal of time and ink. As such, the following takes just a brief look back at a single event to consider some of the lessons it may offer us today.
The May '68 movement in France, although short-lived, was a radical reimagining of the potentially revolutionary role of students, and their relation to the working class and capitalist society as a whole. By effectively bringing France to a halt, students and workers showed a new, more humanistic world is possible. Fundamentally anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist, the actions of the masses temporarily neutralized the paternalistic state power of the regime led by President Charles de Gaulle and suggested what a truly democratic and anti-imperialist France might look like.
The movement began at Nanterre — a U.S.-style university that was characterized by increased competition and decreased leisure and intellectual exploration, features that had long characterized the country's intellectual culture. Being iin an industrial, working-class neighborhood, students attended classes amid factories and rubbed shoulders with workers on the streets. The combination of business or factory-oriented education and the bleak surroundings of capitalist exploitation sparked widespread discontent among the students. It was not just the university's atmosphere and practices, but also capitalist society and culture — which they saw as the root problem — that the students sought to overthrow.
On May 2, after months of unrest and organizing, students seized control of the university's loudspeaker and occupied a lecture hall as they played the "Internationale" overhead. In response to the disruption, the dean closed the university. This was followed the next day by a mass meeting at another Parisian university — the Sorbonne — which was attacked by the police. As the students and police clashed, it was decided to shut the Sorbonne down as well.
Police occupied the campus, which galvanized large numbers of students to take direct action. Barricades were erected using overturned cars, newspaper stands, cobblestones and anything else with which they could improvise. In the struggles of the following days, students would take control of the Sorbonne and the Latin Quarter of the city.
Residents provided support for the insurrection in the form of food, blankets and enthusiasm. When the Sorbonne was reopened, students claimed it for the people, and worker-student action committees were set up to coordinate the daily operations of the revolution.
The General Confederation of Workers (CGT) called for a one-day general strike and demonstration with the students on May 13. To many, this did not go far enough. Moved by the militancy of the students, over 100,000 workers went on strike and occupied 13 different factories throughout the country within a matter of days. First to be occupied was Sud Aviation — the manufacturer of the Caravelle jetliner.
The scale of the strike continued to grow as more workers from across the country stopped operations and took control of their places of work. This nationwide wildcat strike remains one of the largest in world history. At its height, more than 50 factories were occupied and 10 million workers from virtually all industries were on strike in both urban and rural areas. This action included many of the 2 million immigrant workers in France at the time, whose lot was even worse than that of the workers born in France. Belgian and German train conductors also participated by stopping their trains at the border with France. It stands as a modern testament to the power of worker militancy and solidarity.
As the recent revolt on the part of both students and workers in France attests, the revolutionary movement of 1968 failed to overthrow the capitalist order. Through time and concessions, the masses slowly filed back to work, and police took back control of the Sorbonne on June 16. The issue of time highlights the need for political power to be seized in order to maintain a general strike. With reformist Communist Party and union leaders who were not only ill-prepared but fearful of the consequences should the workers attempt to seize power, their hesitations gave opportunity for the bourgeoisie to reassert power.
While De Gaulle managed to divert power away from direct democracy and back to bourgeois representative or illusory democracy, the masses succeeded in showing working people all around the world a glimpse of their true collective power. The events of May '68 stand as a historical testament to the revolutionary potential of people when they stand together to reject the divisions on which capitalism relies — be they racial, national, intellectual-physical or urban-rural.
All of this is, of course, exacerbated by the student debt industry. A college education is no longer a one-way ticket to upward mobility. In many cases, students are lucky if they can maintain the class standings of their parents.
The necessity of taking out loans for working-class and middle-class students has created a generation with little to their name other than debt. Where many gain in status through their degrees, the predominant pattern is that cultural capital is not easily converted into economic mobility — or stability, for that matter. The condition of students in the U.S. today mirrors the condition of students in Paris in 1968 and the precarious condition of the working class more generally.
We must utilize the instability and exploitation foisted on us by the system as a basis for solidarity and revolutionary action. The conditions of existence under capitalism must be made a unifying force to undermine bourgeois culture and society. In the spirit of '68, the struggle continues. Long live the revolution!


The question of life and philosophers.
Although some may think this is macabre, the only guaranteed thing in life is death.
Did you know this is true?
Art enables us to reflect on the difficult subjects.
This is reflection and art.
A more positive look at the eventual transition we all make.
Image and works conjure many thoughts.
Poetry addresses thoughts we fear.


Renovation service providers have a rather various focus than ones who manage the building of full-blown structures from the ground up to shipment. Some redesigning service providers work in the domestic market, with projects that are reasonably on a small scale and also restricted in duration, while others take on business jobs that are usually more comprehensive than their residential equivalents. In either case each specific project tends to be unique in the nature of the work as well as the specific difficulties that need to be resolved.
Business renovation service providers could commonly locate operate in a host of locations, but workplace remodelling is perhaps one of the most respected. Here the problems tend to transcend the normal style and also develop procedure, compeling the building and construction manager to shift equipments, in a sense, to realize the reasons behind the remodelling. Additionally, it is not unusual for the client to be an existing or new lessee of office in a building that is had by other person or entity.
Office renovation involves making alterations to a building's interior without impacting its outside covering. These modifications may be reasonably small, or they may have a scope that is fairly grand. They can be uncomplicated and easy, such as bringing the building up to code or adhering it to updated standards.
In other instances the changes are much more extensive. As an example, when an organisation makes a change in its operations, there is the need to alter the office to better match those brand-new procedures. If the business requires ended up being so wonderful that it needs to transfer to a different office setting, the modifications that the renovating service provider undertakes are to fit the replacement occupant.
When the client leases the workplace, remodellings fall under the category of tenant improvements. This complicates the contracting operate in that more than a single person or entity has a say in just what the deliverable must look like. Depending on the nature of the contract in between owner and also occupant, the contractor deals primarily with one or the other.
The contractor has to expect some stress between both events over the range of allowed work, concomitant costs, and the amount of danger and/or responsibility being presumed by which. Professionals need to come close to the remodeling project as a design contractor to make sure that the project can progress, at least somewhat, as job advances. Close interaction with both parties is critical.
If business is stagnating, the contractual connection relies on job range. Working with the basic service provider on a time-and-materials basis makes sense when the remodellings are mostly cosmetic, as the chance of discovering something unforeseen is very little.
However large-scale office improvements have to be intended carefully and numerous options must be weighed against one another. The business owner must predict 5 to ten years in the future to attempt to fit coming modifications currently. It's additionally a great idea to obtain input from staff members, as they will need to utilize the room daily.
Undoubtedly, this scenario is extra susceptible to having something fail. The contractor ought to be employed as a building and construction supervisor that is willing to think several of the threat. In return he will certainly insist on being involved in the preliminary stages so that he could deal with information early prior to construction begins.
Sometimes service operations need to continue essentially uninterrupted throughout restoration. Service providers have to be especially cautious in such circumstances to make sure that both white-collar worker and also subcontractors are safeguarded in any way times. Moving the workplace to momentary quarters may be prudent to prevent disruptions from smells, noise, and also dirt.
One more opportunity is for the specialists to function beyond organisation hrs. The essential point is for owners, clients, and contractors to straighten out ahead of time all of the relevant logistics. These are a few of the important things one needs to remember when employing remodeling professionals for workplace improvement.

Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate Trailer Offers Breasts Aplenty
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Earnest Cavalli

A new trailer has arrived for the upcoming Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate which focuses on the game's new swimsuits. It's a Team Ninja joint, what did you expect?
Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate is, as its title suggests, the "ultimate" version of Dead Or Alive 5, a game that was initially released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, then ported to the Vita handheld as Dead Or Alive 5+. What exactly does this mean for you, the player? Alongside a handful of balance and gameplay tweaks, Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate is said to offer far more content than its predecessors. Translation: Each character should have a massive number of costumes.
And of course, since this a Dead Or Alive title, many of those costumes take the form of revealing swimsuits. That trailer embedded here? It's specifically dedicated to the new selection of swimwear in Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate. While it is a Japanese clip, you really don't need to know the language to pick up on the subtleties present in this video, mostly because there are none. This is pretty blatant cheesecake, so if physically improbable virtual boobs are your thing, then today's your lucky day.
Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate is currently scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on September 3. There's also an arcade version of the game in the works, but those releases are generally lengthy, tiered affairs, so the best we can tell you is that it should appear right around the same time as the console game (and that unless you live in Japan, you'll probably never see a Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate cabinet).
IndianaJonny
Jim Sterling is gonna love this.
lacktheknack
I haven't even clicked the video, and I won't, because I don't have to. The thumbnail is a woman in pearls and pasties with a hilarious bloom effect.
It hurts a bit to look at.
Will the six-axis move the boobs again, or did they abandon that?
rhizhim
so the boob jam has finally begun...
ThePS1Fan
It's a good thing that Dead or Alive isn't a pretty good fighting game on it's own. If that were the case it might seem like the breast physics are needlessly excessive.
Roxas1359
As the saying goes, birds fly, fish swim, Team Ninja makes games with sentient breasts.
As it has been said above I can already tell how the video will go.
Also, looks like Team Ninja is taking DLC lessons from Capcom it would seem. :P
Well I guess we can rule out Team Ninja as one of the participating developers at the Boobjam summit. :3
Seriously though, I still say that from a mechanical standpoint, DoA is the breast best fighting game series out there. The mechanics are simple to understand with the hit-beats-throw, throw-beats-counter, counter-beats-hit, and yet it's pretty tricky to master. Why? Because it takes actual skill. Reading your opponent, predicting what they're going to do, and reacting accordingly. I just wish more people would take it seriously and appreciate the actual fighting in the game. But, I fully admit, it's hard to take a fighting game seriously when all the female costumes look like they were designed by 14 year old hentai addicts. >.>
I like women in swimsuits, so sue me. If somebody wants to do the same for men, doesn't faze me.
Shadow-Phoenix
It makes me sigh when the studio resorts to nothing but boobs for their fighting game.
I mean they were the studio behind creating the latest look for the current Transformers Prime show and it looked amazing graphically and not a boob or sexual object was in sight (ys I know Hasbro is in charge but you get the general idea).
They have potential to do great things but don't just fall back on boobs to sell because it just looks idiotic and lame sometimes, like the caveman doing pelvic thrusts while beating his chest over a woman kinds of lame.
Captcha: Knock on wood... Are you being serious here Captcha?.

I love Dead or Alive.
I love women dressed in very little at all.
I love boobs, of course.
Team Ninja has my pre-order as usual!
Edit: Splendid trailer. Keep making 'em like you make 'em TN! <3
J Tyran
As stupid as those games look its amusing to see a developer go out of their way to resist the whole sexism debate, they missed a chance to neatly sidestep it though. There where male fighters in that vid, they could have had budgie smugglers on and had their own jiggle physics too.
J Tyran:
Actually, the above is an abridged version of the trailer. I saw the whole one on Sankaku about 12 hours ago. Lee is wearing some snug speedos- and he's not the only man in a swimsuit- but there doesn't appear to be any jiggle.
To be sure, I shall have to watch it again. Frame by frame.
As for their "resistance" of the debate, I like to think they hear their opponents and just don't give a damn.
fix-the-spade
Shadow-Phoenix:
Look, these are the people that decided Samus Aran needed to wear high heels, they know what their opinion of women is and it's not that they're strong worthwhile people in their own right.
I'd be disappointed but it's been almost twenty years now and Team Ninja have resolutely not changed a bit, just look somewhere else!
fix-the-spade:
except they have proved they could do something different these past 20 years with a show like TF Prime (hence why the image was provided) so they can change but hey stick with boobs but it won't outsell and become the No1. fighting game of all time forever.
Also isn't telling me to look somewhere else like letting them do what they want yet we've seen many on here complain about COD being the same for years on end yet it's A-Ok for one studio like Team ninja to get a free pass?, somehow that doesn't fly with me.
HalloHerrNoob
Well, its Team Ninja...what do you expect? I dont play their games, but seriously...as long as they (and Yoshio Sakamoto) stay the fuck away from Samus Aran they can program a hentai datin-sim for all I care...
Also...does this still sell? I mean its not like there arent any better fighting games like SF4 or BlazBlue
HalloHerrNoob:
Surely you mean like King of Fighters XIII? :P
And yeah, DoA sells quite well. There's no competitive scene (not even compared to the ghost town of P4A and KOFXIII competitive), so the low online profile gives the impression that it doesn't ship, but you can always get a matchmade fight, even in the old DoA 4!
I could live without Ultimate, make do with DoA5 vanilla, but I'll grab it anyway. I'll support Team Ninja for as long as they do what they do.
synobal
Cripes more female power fantasy games, about beating up men. I'm so tired of this culture and it's misandry; down with the matriarchy.
Hazy992
So it seems 14 year old girls in bikinis is what makes it the 'Ultimate' version. Because videogames.
Jesus Christ, this industry...
Dr. Dice Lord
Where are all the white-knights and the sexism in videogames crowd? Where is the finger-pointing and male-blaming?
Oh, you must all be attacking Dragon's Crown still. Pardon me, carry on sieging a game that literally has done nothing to hurt you or the industry.
OT: I remember the good 'ol days when people could see a game like this, or Dragon's Crown (its really sad they're even compared) and you could simply not like it, and not buy it. Then that was that, and you moved on. These days, it seems every single game with a female that isn't wrapped up in a burka needs to be censored, or boycotted, or attacked. And those males that have the audacity to be subject to their genetic programming? We're all "Sexist, misogynist rape-culture advocates."
Right. Riiight.
idarkphoenixi
I hope people lay off Team Ninja this time. There's no reason we can't have exploitation games alongside the more artsy stuff.
I'd hardly call a lot of boobs a bad thing.
Plus, DOA has always been a solid fighting game.
CriticalMiss
But they have so much more than boobs. Like...ass. And there was a coconut at one point. Truly games are art.
Team Ninja have definitely learned from past mistakes and greatly toned-down the "waterbed" style boobs which literally had their own personalities in the previous games.
If you're going to aim to make a game with sexy girls and jiggle physics then the least you can do is get it right, and Team Ninja has improved so I applaud them for it.
I'll applaud any company who doesn't give a shit or cave into pressure under whatever the current bandwagon is (sexism/objectification/etc) and simply continues to make whatever they want to make, continues to give their target demographic exactly what they want, continues to exist as living proof that fantasy can be whatever it wants to be, and continues to take criticism aimed at their character design with a "thanks for your feedback, we don't give a fuck, have a good day" attitude. Go Team Ninja!
I personally won't buy this game because I played previous DoA games and the fighting engine really isn't my style, the characters & movies feel slow and labored (a bit like Tekken games). I lean towards the Street Fighter or Marvel style fast-paced games born from their 2D ancestors.
l3o2828
DoA is a solid fighting game, very flowing and surprisingly well designed.
So this is why this is easy to ignore for me. Besides they also showed the men swimsuits. That's positive , right?
No, look somewhere else, stop paying attention to it, ignore it, don't buy it. That is how these things die, it's not a free pass, it's telling you as a consumer to go somewhere else and take your attention, time and money with you.
Even if there are still enough people out there who like it your life will be better without the disappointment. I'm sure if they could have put boobs on a Transformer they would have done too, but Hasbro would have killed them all if they did that.

I still like the fighting system they have in the game as the second someone figures out the counters it pretty much ends spammers. That and it's always fun to play through all the weird character stories.

It is ok. DoA is a completely niche title, as in being a 1x1 fighter that also happens to focus it's marketing and presentation on boobs. It's not supposed to become the No1. in nothing, it is not supposed to atract a "broader audience" with it. Hell, not even call of duty is quite guilty of that, since it's really just doing making whatever they though it worked on Modern Warfare before, only it makes them tons of money so every other company out there wanted a piece of the cake.
So yeah, DoA is a "take it or leave it" kind of title, and if it's not your thing, you can't really blame it for not making you part of it's niche. If you don't like digital boobs, you just have to look somewhere else. =P

Really, Dead or Alive, really? First X-Treme Beach Volleyball, now this?
Ruisu:
But someone has already told me to look somewhere else.
I guess if I'm going to get quoted and told the same thing the least I could do is write this down and point to everyone else in the future should this tick them off slightly.
I myself have played DOA 1 to at least 4 but I was hoping for something new and exciting like a lot of gamers do for a series, hoping something new comes to the table.

Is it more or less sexist to wish they'd put out the next beach volleyball title instead of this. I'm all about the boobs but don't really find it attractive when the girls are beating the crap out of each other.
COME ON FOLKS!
LETS GET THIS TO OVER 100 POSTS ON SEXISM!
Seeing as how THIS game is WAY more sexist than D.C.

I'm confused as to why Team Ninja just doesn't give in and make porn instead of video games. I mean, cripes, Xtreme/Volleyball has more appeal than "sexy" women beating up teenage girls with implants. May as well just have them attack by shaking their chests at one another; breasts that big are likely cause concussions if they connect with your skull.
Anyways, someone mentioned Dragon's Crown or whatever it's called, so I might as well reply. You wanna know why that isn't as bad as Dead or Alive? Because your characters are likely to get lost in the clusterfuck that many of those style games become, where as there is no real avoiding in here.
Also, as someone said, the guys should totally have big, throbbing dongs just to balance out the ridiculous flesh fetish.
I like it when capitalism works.
When a developer/publisher can ignore impotent whinging because they know full well that anyone who complains has never and will never purchase their product, so they don't feel the need to appease them in any way.

I still love DoA. Going to get this when it comes out.
Also, I hate to break it to the "men-in-swimsuits for equality" crowd; but as a man, who knows other men, who in turn know OTHER men, I'm fairly certain we, as well as all other men, can ALL confirm something for of all of you.
If the swimsuit/undergarment we're wearing is loose enough for our piece to move around, its going to be too loose for you to see anything. If it is tight enough for you to see anything, it will be too tight for any noticeable movement to occur. Sorry ladies. Its just how that bit down there works.
Also, the full trailer does show some of the men's suits too.


Deep Creek starts in the San Bernardino National Forest running 23 miles into the Mohave desert. Because of a recent fire that occurred in 1999, some of the prime fishing spots were destroyed. Although,some of the Creek remains intact, for the most part, the damage of the Creek far outweighs the beauty and extravagance that it once had held.
Within Deep Creek are other branches that flow into the main stream. Holcomb Creek flows from the northward from the San Bernardino Mountains and joins at the Mojave River, eventually providing a major source of water for desert residents. Both streams flow through jagged canyons while their waters rush forward crashing against massive stones pausing in fishing pools as they rush toward the desert from the mountains. Conifers and Willows grow wildly along this creek, along with Sycamore, Cottonwood, Cactus, and other shrubbery.

No overnight camping "Remember good roads lead to bad fishing"
Deep Creek was designated by the state of California as a "Wild Trout Stream". Deep Creek has been known to be streaming with Rainbow ( Salmo gardnerii ) and Brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) for fly-fisherman. Fishing from Green Valley Lake down to Willow Creek is restricted to two fish using barb-less lures and Fly's only, Not only does Deep Creek have a large presence of trout, but it is also inhabited by many other animals, many of them endangered species. For instance the Arroyo Toad, named after it location is a small frog ranging in several colors from gray to light brown to green. Another example is the Mojave chub, which was once known for it being the only fish native to the Mojave River, but because of recent introductions of other fish it has been forced out of its habitat and is now in danger of extinction. Other wildlife found here include the California Spotted Owl, mountain lions, Black bears, deer, flying squirrel and nesting golden eagles. The upper creek area supplies a environment for several endangered plants.
Another great thing about Deep Creek is the powerful serene view. The Pacific Crest Trail travels along Deep Creek joining at Holcomb Creek to provide this wonderful view, and access to the relaxing Deep Creek Hot Springs. Due to a fire in '99 there have been restrictions placed upon the Springs, however for a mere $ 4.00 per person-from the ranch, which is a small price to pay to relax and enjoy it's natural breathtaking beauty. Deep Creek and its outstanding scenery, are filled with it's proud history and strong culture, all the while providing recreational enjoyment with the fish, wildlife, and environment. As you can see, it is truly a privilege to be the namesake of this wonderful, history-filled Creek.
From the desert end, take the Main Street exit off Interstate 15, and proceed through the City of Hesperia. As Main Street curves right and turns into Arrowhead Lake Road, turn left on Rock Springs Road. Turn right on Deep Springs Road and proceed to trailhead on the east side of the Mojave flood control dam.

Huh. The MLB At-Bat app will use AR to put stats above players' heads while at the game. Can't wait to try that!

New product: AirPower charing mat. Next year.
iPhone X: $999. Ha! Take that everyone that said it would be $1,000.
FYI the reason 9:41 is shown in screens as the time in Apple announcements: they timed the 2007 announcement to reveal the iPhone at 9:41.
So I guess the iPhone 8 will be the first iPhone model I'll never own (will wait a month for the iPhone X).
OK. That's it. Going to make a video to sum it all up.

I don't want to be skinny, I want to be STRONG. I want my body to feel powerful and my mind to feel like it can accomplish anything!
Skinny is all about losing, but strong is about gaining empowerment.
I am going to talk about the three key components to an amazing workout. All are necessary for every workout and by incorporating these, you will sleep better, feel better, and train better.
Stretching is so important, yet the funny part is I have always had to force myself to stretch even though I preach it to others. I tend to forget the most important part because I want to start my workout but if you can think of it as part of your workout then this will help you make it apart of your fitness regime. It's like have your morning cup of joe before starting the day! You will have a rough start to your day if you don't have your coffee, just like if you don't stretch before a workout. It is also just as important to stretch after your finished the workout.
These are six of my favorite stretches to do regularly. Some are more dynamic than others, and this is good to get blood flowing throughout your whole body. Stretching re-energizes your body and gets blood flowing to all of your muscles. This is why it feels great to stretch in the morning and before bed to get your metabolism moving!
After a little stretch, your muscles are warmed up for some good cardio. Strength building is great for you, but when it comes to your overall health, getting your heart rate up for at least 30 minutes a day can wildly increase your overall body health and results. By challenging your lungs and your heart on a regular basis, they are getting stronger and can with stand more opposition. It helps with overall immune system function and sleep cycles as well. If you know me, then you know I sleep hard because I workout hard.
Okay enough about the benefits, let's get into my favorite forms of cardio. As many of you know, running is my passion. I love to run so much that I was a cross country coach! But, I do not think running is the truest form of fitness (my next post is all about why I crosstrain). I know that all people may not feel how I feel about running, and that's okay! God designed me with a passion for running. What did he design you for? I also enjoy kickboxing and circuit training. What I like about circuits is that you can do them in a very small area and you do not need any equipment.
60 second rest and hydrate!
Strength training is where the toning and fat burning comes in. I love to lift weights and feel strong. Building muscles allow you to burn more calories during the day. (read here for more benefits) I love what they said in the first benefit from this article about keeping the weight off for good.
Knowledge is power! Research all about why strength building is important and you will quickly see the impact that it can make on your life. Strength training is not just important for your muscles, but for your overall health. It keeps you feeling great and fights depression!
Now let's talk about some key moves that I love to do.
Bicep Curl: This may seem so simple but a lot of people do not perform this movement in the correct way. You want to make sure that you are going just about all the way down and bringing your hands slowly up to your shoulders. You should feel the contraction all the way through the biceps. If you need to lower the weight to get the right form, lower it!
Tricep Extension: I love these for the contraction that I feel in my tricep. I normally like to do it with one heavier dumbbell, but you can do it with two smaller ones. Take the weight back behind your head and keep your biceps right next to your ears. Then let the weight slowly go to the ground and raise it back up. Make sure you only use your elbows as the hinge to move your forearm.
Exercise Ball Crunches: By crunching slowly, you will feel the total contraction. Core strength building is so important to any type of exercise that you do. So keep it tight and get your crunches in!
Remember, strong is the new skinny, and you can make any workout a knockout. What will you do today to get moving?!
Share your favorite workout tricks!
Thanks for all your support! Keep up the good work too!

Banks continue to talk with a masculine approach
VIA EMPRESA IN ENGLISH
When banks ignore women
Women take 80% of purchasing decisions and are the holders of 52% of current accounts; two figures that financial institutions omit when creating services
Laia Corbella | Translation: Neil Stokes Barcelona. 13 de març de 2018 11:37
Imagine that a company had the option of reaching 100% of the market but decided to cut that number by half and so lose 50% of the profit. While it might seem absurd, that is what the banks are doing in ignoring women; a market segment shut off from finances and the products and services offered by the sector, but that would like to take control and show that investing in women is profitable.

Men and women are very different when it comes to managing their money. For a start, women live longer than men, but earn less, in fact women earn almost 24% less than men. That means they save less for their retirement and, what's more, they have different insurance needs. This situation affects financial planning: women are more about debit (managing what they have) than credit; they are more likely to have cards from shops they usually frequent; they take out more loans for studying and, when they are mothers, they prioritise the family.
"Women make up 52% of current account holders in banks and yet they do not feel served, understood or satisfied"
"It is paradoxical that women are responsible for 80% of purchasing decisions and make up 52% of current account holders in the world and yet they do not feel served, understood or satisfied by financial services or banks," says Gemma Cernuda, CEO of Ellas Deciden and author of #SheBanking, a White Paper developed jointly with the Strands company, which lays out everything that women want that the banks do not know.
A sector that is not ours
Why does it feel as if we are playing away from home? According to Cernuda, the female population feels disaffected by the culture, the jargon and the financial world in general. "The banks do not connect with women, they have a masculine approach; when they talk to a woman about finances, there is a powerful reaction of rejection."
Commission, debt, interest, risk, credit, APR, loans, product... These are some of the words negatively associated with banking. "Words are very important, they are the main tool we have to communicate. We prefer they say 'take out' or 'put in' money, rather than 'withdraw' or 'deposit' cash," the author of the report argues.
Cernuda: "We prefer they say 'take out' and 'put in' money, rather than 'withdraw' or 'deposit' cash"
Don't talk to me, listen to me
So, what can financial institutions do so that 51% of the population feels included in this sector that seems so masculine? Say nothing, and listen.
Relationship banking is a model that is much closer to listening to the client. You have to be able to put names and faces to the finances you are managing. Women are fed up of how bank's talk to them when trying to sell them products and services and they need to change their tone. I want to help you, not sell to you, Cernuda offers as an example, adding that the keys are trust and sincerity.
Women's financial needs
Agile, simple and easy. That is what banking designed for women should be like. The digital solution has to bear in mind that women are looking for a long-term relationship with the brand and to be offered services according to what stage of life they are in, such as motherhood for example.
Grouping expenditure into categories, deciding what the spending limit in each category is, viewing savings objectives or a financial calendar are some of the proposals that women value most, according to the SheBanking study.
A women-friendly bank
There are currently more than 14 banks around the world that label themselves Women-Friendly and that identify themselves as a brand for women. Yet, do we want banks for women? "No, we want banks with a feminine touch, that take our priorities and needs into consideration, which are more human and closer to us," says the author.
This strategy does not mean painting banks pink and applying the Pink Tax, but rather making the company client-centric. According to Cernuda, the formula should put women at the centre of the conversation and that is only credible if there are women at the executive level.
There are more than 14 banks around the world that label themselves Women-Friendly and that identify as a brand for women
"The financial sector has been very responsive, now the talk needs to be applied in practice," says the consultant, who adds that it is "positioning that all financial institutions should acquire, because Women Mean Business."
Erik Brieva, CEO of Strands, a fintech partner with more than 600 banks as clients agrees: "Banking is already almost 100% digital, now we need to think and act in a more feminine way and establish more personalised relationships. Thus, it is essential to segment by group and women are a very broad group that should help us to transform the financial sector."
Banks are ready for the digital transformation. But what about the feminine revolution?
Leyre Olavarría (Seat): "Blablacar is a closer competitor than Tesla"
Estorach: "Where are the women? On the stage of Women in Mobile"
Oscar Pierre: "We are obsessed with being profitable"

To the editor: Columnist Virginia Heffernan's attack on President Trump's moral turpitude didn't seem to pay much attention to the response by Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III to the BuzzFeed claims of Trump's attempt to coerce his formal personal attorney Michael Cohen into lying to Congress.
Even though Mueller is the darling of liberals, Heffernan proved tone deaf to the importance of the special counsel's comments and continued in her usual attacks on Trump as if nothing had been said by Mueller's office.
To the editor: I agree with just about everything in Heffernan's column. I would also offer an important reminder about the hypocritical behavior of many "Christian" Trump supporters who seem not the least disturbed by his moral turpitude.
Granted, moral turpitude is typically used as a legal concept that connotes conduct that shocks the public conscience. Where has Christian conscience been during the blatant moral abomination of his election campaign and presidency?
Many Christians presumably consider moral law as transcendent to secular law. Natural law, in particular, is often invoked to express the sovereignty of eternal moral principles. Based on the common sense of natural law as applied to all humanity, Trump would certainly be judged as unworthy of any role in public life.
Why do so many of Trump's Christian supporters give the president a free pass?
To the editor: Heffernan has it exactly right: Trump's moral turpitude is going to bring him down. America can only hope that he does not bring our lovely country down with him.


I thought it would be a nice idea if I (Thornfield) offered some brief profiles of some of the bears who live at Thornfield Manor or at Schloss Grenliksen. Later, I'll profile some of the other animals, too.
Brown Eyes is the Senior Bear. He's been here since 1987, longer than pretty much all of us. Brown Eyes is a well-traveled bear. He has been to Turkey, Germany, and England, and of course all over the United States. He especially loves camping.
Brown Eyes says the reason most bears don't have any money is that they don't have pockets. He feels lucky that he has a nice pair of overalls, where he keeps his money. The little guy is rich, actually - it started with a single dollar from Sally Balakrishnan, but now there are tens and twenties in the roll.
