More Local Communities Now Able to Use Portland's Ronald McDonald Houses®
Families in McMinnville, Molalla, Estacada, Sandy, Woodburn, Silverton, St. Helens, Longview and elsewhere now eligible to stay at houses
June 17, 2010 Portland, Ore.
Effective June 1, Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Oregon and Southwest Washington (RMHC®) lowered its distance requirement for families eligible to stay at either of its Portland Houses. Previously, families needed to live at least 50 miles away from the hospital where their child was being treated. The new policy enables families who live at least 30 miles away to use the Houses. Families in communities such as McMinnville, Molalla, Estacada, Sandy, Woodburn, Silverton, St. Helens, Vernonia, and Longview are now eligible to stay at the Ronald McDonald House, with a required referral from a hospital social worker.
Ronald McDonald Houses are intended to serve families who travel a long distance (typically at least a one hour car ride) to receive treatment at Portland hospitals. Families are referred to the Ronald McDonald House when they need to be in Portland for days, weeks, or even months. The houses allow them to stay close to their child in the hospital for a minimal cost, without the need to travel back and forth from home, or the expense of a hotel room.
"We want to serve as many communities in Oregon and Washington as possible," said Siri Hamill, RMHC's associate director. "Even families living 30 to 40 miles from Portland may travel an hour or more to reach the hospital, which is a very long drive when your child is ill. This change will also make us more consistent with the policies of other Ronald McDonald Houses nationally."
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon and Southwest Washington operates two Houses in the Portland area. The West House is located next to Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children's Hospital and Shriners Hospitals for Children – Portland on Marquam Hill. The East House is located on the campus of The Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel, and near the Kartini Clinic in North Portland.
"The Ronald McDonald House is an important resource, and the new distance requirement will allow even more of our families from outside of Portland to remain close to their child in the hospital," said Scott Turner, administrator, OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
About RMHC
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon and Southwest Washington provides a "home away from home" for families and their seriously ill children who travel far to receive treatment at Portland area hospitals, and awards grants to non-profit organizations that offer children's immunizations and oral health care.

Through June 30th, Walgreens has OxiClean 40oz liquid or 18-pack laundry detergent on sale for $2.99 (regularly $7.49)!
Pair this sale with a printable coupon OR clip a coupon to your Balance Rewards Card to score BIG savings on laundry detergent!
Thank you for this post. I picked up two yesterday for my college kids:) I clipped a coupon to my Walgreen's card and also took a paper coupon into the store.
Oh awesome! You're so welcome! Happy you could snag the savings!
I allow about 8-10 in my store, in Arizona, the warehouse/ordering system upped the order so we got about 20 cases of it, but depends on the store really. Most do 4. If sold out, get a raincheck, coupons are good for awhile. Can always call ahead and make sure they got it too.
It should apply to however many of the product you are purchasing. Hope that helps!
Q: How many times can I redeem a coupon?
A: Each coupon is allowed to be redeemed once. Once it is redeemed, the coupon will be removed from your clipped coupons list and move into the redeemed coupons section.
NOTE: Single use coupons can be redeemed only once, either digital or paper, but not both.
Oh yes! I'm so sorry for the confusion! I misunderstood the question. You can only use it once, but it will apply to each qualifying item in that one transaction.
Love this detergent–it cleans great and has a wonderful scent. And through all these great deals on Hip2Save, I've never spent more than $1 on each bottle. Thank you so much for posting!

Monarch launches 'first commercially available' autonomous electric tractor
Monarch Tractor, maker of the MK-V, the fully electric, driver-optional, smart tractor, says the first tractors are now coming off the Founder Series production line at its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Livermore, California.
The rollout comes less than two years since Monarch unveiled its groundbreaking tractor that combines electrification, automation, and data analysis to help farmers reduce their carbon footprint, improve field safety, streamline farming operations, and increase their bottom lines.
Constellation Brands, the leading global premium, fine wine and craft spirits producer and largest beer importer in the US, has partnered with Monarch as its first customer, through its purchase of the first six Founder Series MK-V tractors.
The delivery of MK-V tractors to Constellation Brands will be followed by additional customer shipments to family farms and other large multinational corporations.
Utilizing a Monarch MK-V in place of a comparable diesel tractor is the equivalent emission reduction of removing 14 passenger vehicles from the road.
Monarch utilizes the latest autonomous and robotics hardware and software technology, including the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform, to provide driver-assist and driver-optional operations
Considering nearly 25 percent of global emissions result from agriculture, the zero-emission Monarch Tractor will help make meaningful emissions reductions as the use of Monarch Tractors scale in an industry that has been historically difficult to decarbonize.
The use of the MK-V tractor simultaneously helps solve numerous challenges farmers face today including labor shortages, safety concerns, increased customer scrutiny for sustainable practices, government regulations, and more.
Monarch says the key features of the MK-V include:
Renewable Technology: The MK-V is 100 percent electric and has zero tailpipe emissions. It also serves as a 3-in-1 electrification tool, operating as a tractor or utility vehicle during operation, as well as a powerful electric generator in the field.
Driver Optional: Monarch utilizes the latest autonomous and robotics hardware and software technology, including the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform, to provide driver-assist and driver-optional operations. The Monarch MK-V can perform pre-programmed tasks without a driver, or an operator can use the Monarch interactive automation features including Shadow mode to have the Monarch Tractor follow a worker on the job.
Unprecedented Safety: The MK-V is packed with safety features including rollover and collision prevention, vision-based Power Take Off (PTO) safety, and 360° cameras to keep operations running smoothly and employees safe, day or night.
Deep Learning & Sensing Suite: The MK-V collects and analyzes crop data daily and can process data from current and next-generation implements equipped with sensors and imaging. This data can be used for real-time implement adjustments, long-term yield estimates, current growth stages and other plant/crop health metrics.
Smart Device Operation: Through a smartphone or personal device, MK-V users receive tractor status alerts, detailed operations reports, and data collection, analysis, and storage for more efficient farm planning.
Powerful: The Monarch electric drivetrain is capable of providing 40HP (30KW) of continuous power and short duration peak power up to 75HP (55KW) in a small footprint for multi-purpose usage.
Praveen Penmetsa, co-founder and CEO, Monarch Tractor, says: "This is a momentous day for Monarch Tractor that has been years in the making.
"Our team has worked tirelessly and relentlessly with a mission to make farming more profitable and sustainable. We're proud to see our commitment to technological innovation and sustainable solutions culminate in celebrating our first tractor off the production line, which, I might add, is powered by renewable energy."
Robert Hanson, president of Constellation brands' wine and spirits division, says: "We are pleased to partner with Monarch Tractor as its first customer, accelerating our deep commitment to sustainability while supporting a business driving future-forward innovation in agriculture technology.
"As we build a leading global premium, fine wine and craft spirits portfolio, comprised of some of the world's top vineyards including To Kalon (whose organic certification is expected in early 2023), we are focused on protecting and amplifying our resources while producing the highest quality wines and spirits in the world.
"Being the first to leverage the Founder Series MK V affords us an industry-first opportunity to do so, and we congratulate Monarch on this exciting launch."
Launched to the public in 2020, Monarch Tractor transformed the agriculture industry with next generation EV technology and unparalleled automation capabilities to meet farmers' most pressing needs.
Four months later, Monarch deployed its pilot series at Wente Vineyards, marking the first time a fully electric, driver-optional, connected tractor had ever been deployed to a commercial farm.
The MK-V has received critical acclaim and won numerous awards and recognition to date including being named to the 2022 CNBC Disruptor 50 list, recognized as a CES 2022 Innovation Award Honoree, and awarded "Overall AgTech Solution of the Year" in the 2021 AgTech Breakthrough Awards, among others.
Monarch Tractor has also captured the attention of the investment community, raising more than $110 million including a $61 milliom Series B round in 2021.
Additionally, Monarch Tractor, a member of the Nvidia Inception startup program, has secured several strategic partnerships globally including CNH Industrial and VST Tillers Tractors, and recently signed a contract manufacturing agreement with Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), the world's largest electronics manufacturer, to build the MK-V and its battery packs at the Foxconn Ohio facility.
Manufacturing operations are expected to begin at the Foxconn Mahoning Valley, Ohio facility in 2023, while tractor research and development will continue in California.

Downtown Cairo, Egypt, has been at the epicenter of the country's political developments for some time now. A meeting point for intellectuals ever since its foundation in the late 900s, the city would become the heartbeat of the Middle East, most recently manifesting in the Egyptian Revolution where it was simultaneously a place of both peace and war; of revelry and raids and, importantly, of poets and playwrights, artists and intellects, musicians and makers.
Though ownership over downtown area around the now-iconic Tahrir Square remains disputed, with gentrification and security forces alike pushing out inhabitants, street vendors and frequenters of the bustling district, the artistry and allure of the area remains. Through local initiatives, self-formed collectives and an energetic independent arts scene, Cairo churns out an incredible creative output on a regular basis, despite its volatile political environment. Plagued by ever-dwindling tourist numbers, Egypt meanwhile looks to diversify its economy and sees the tech and IT sectors as saviors, given the country's relatively high number of graduates and rapidly increasing digital literacy. And it's in Downtown Cairo – between its dazzling storefronts and bureaucratic buildings – where the two industries, arts and technology, are colliding and filling the nooks and crannies of the historically liberal pocket of the megacity.
While Austin is in its infancy compared to Cairo's long legacy, both cities share a unique resource – an overwhelmingly millennial population. In the Texan state capital and surrounding metro areas, they make up whopping 17.5% – the highest number in all of the USA. Meanwhile, in the Egyptian capital, it's estimated at an even more impressive 36%, and despite a questionable education system, Cairo sees somewhere between 330,000 and 440,000 graduates annually. "Austin is a creative town where 50,000 undergraduates make up the most of the population," confirms Mayor Steve Adler, and while the figures seem miles apart, the percentages of enrolled students from the total population in both Austin and Cairo are comparable. "It's partly the youth of our population – which is very similar to Cairo – that has driven a lot of the willingness to take risks that characterizes Austin," says Casey Smith, International Program Manager at the City of Austin's Economic Development Department.
Hot off the heels of South by South West 2016 in Austin, Downtown Cairo welcomes the fifth edition of D-CAF (the Downtown Contemporary Arts Festival) – a multi-venue and multi-discipline arts event that has infiltrated the historic quarters every spring since 2012. While SXSW now attracts over 140,000 annually, D-CAF projects attendance this year at a more modest 4,000 – however, it has managed to exceed SXSW's fifth year (1991) which saw less than 3,000 registrants. Of course, the nature of events and the experience economy has changed drastically since the 90s thanks to the advent of the internet and social media, but by and large D-CAF has been an astounding success, especially amidst turmoil that has often targeted cultural and non-profit organizations in Downtown Cairo. Meanwhile, the fiscal future looks bright for D-CAF should its evolution manage to follow in the footsteps of something like SXSW, which generated a massive $317.2 million for the city in 2015.
"When SXSW started I was at university here. Back then it was three venues and a $10 wristband for entry!" recalls Christine Maguire, Redevelopment Division Manager at the City of Austin. "A lot of people that attend now think it grew overnight. They don't realize that this is a 30 year evolution, seeded by local stakeholders. And that's something all cities hosting events need to foster: the long term view." This notion is echoed by Smith, who has spent some time in Cairo: "The success of festivals really is about the collaboration and the intentional pulling-together of different stakeholders and circles. That's the case at SXSW – it involves everyone from food trucks to the police force, and everyone in between." D-CAF is a joint venture between Orient Productions, an independent arts production house, and Al Ismaelia Group, a real estate development company that has been procuring and redeveloping historic buildings in Downtown Cairo. However, while the festival lists the American University in Cairo and several media outlets as partners, the public, local business owners and the government are noticeably absent from the D-CAF table. Nevertheless, the area surely flourishes over the festival period as Cairenes descend on the likes of iconic watering holes El Horreya, Stella, El Lotus, Felfela and Estoril, mingling with older generations and downtown locals.
The closeness of venues and amenities in Downtown Cairo, alongside heritage bookshops, liberal publishing houses such as Dar Merit, numerous art spaces, including the modern Townhouse Gallery and legacy cinemas Rivoli and Cinema Radio, and several newspaper headquarters, have made the area a natural meeting point for Egypt's intellectuals and artists. It was here that both Egyptian revolutions kicked off (1952 and 2011) and it is here where independent artists go for both inspiration and creation. Like Austin, Cairo's downtown scores considerably higher on the walkability scale than the greater city: Downtown Austin scores a walk score of 88, while as a whole the city scores just 35. Downtown Cairo scores an impressive 98, meaning, like Austin, Cairo culture-seekers are able to move from one venue to another with relative ease and no need for a car. In fact, recent urban planning developments in Cairo have been tailored to discourage cars altogether – a new 1,700-capacity car park under Tahrir Square paired with a decrease in parking spots in the streets recently made walking into the center of town the better option and, in late 2015, the underground metro introduced a smart card ticketing option.
An important venue on D-CAF's map is the Greek Campus, a defunct facility which is part the American University in Cairo. A stone's throw away from the historic Bab El Louq market which, in the 80s, was the original hub for IT and electronics, the former-campus not only hosts music and arts events, but has been revamped into what the Huffington Post dubbed a "mini Silicon Valley" when it was leased to Egyptian venture capitalist firm Sawari Ventures in 2013, proving that it isn't only Austin that sees the tech and arts world collide. In fact, just days before D-CAF's opening night, the Greek Campus hosted Egypt and the Middle East's very first Maker Faire, dedicated to showcasing local innovations in science, technology, engineering and arts and crafts with equal enthusiasm.
The Greek Campus is now home to a plethora of startups and entrepreneurs, from media agencies to fin-tech programmers, app developers to social enterprises – many of which are creatively solving problems. "Other industries depend on incremental growth, but the tech industry depends on huge leaps of creativity. I believe that the growth engine of Egypt's economy is entrepreneurship across all sectors, but technology will have a disproportionately large impact," said Ahmed El-Alfi, CEO of Sawari Ventures, on the launch of space. Since 2013, the Greek Campus has also been the stage for an annual technology and entrepreneurship conference, the RiseUp Summit, which, in 2015, saw over 4,000 attendees from 49 countries and speakers from Microsoft, MIT, Tech Crunch, Google and Facebook.
Given the growing culture of tech entrepreneurship, and whole streets and malls in Downtown Cairo dedicating to computing and electronics, it came as no surprise that when Microsoft CEO came to Egypt on his Middle East tour, his keynote speech was held right off Tahrir Square. However, while Austin basks in the light of its high profile guests, Satya Nadella's visit to Cairo was wildly under-publicized. Meanwhile, Egyptian authorities are noticeably more focused on creating new cities and enforcing a top-down plan which looks to bolster the technology and ICT industry by implanting it at the trade-reliant Suez zone – an area of Egypt that looks to be stimulated by the building of a new administrative capital city nearby, within 10 years. While some praise the moves to diversify the economy in the Suez zone, others are critical of the government's lack of nurture towards the startups, innovations and initiatives that already exist in the heart of Cairo.
"The attention that high profile events garner bring increased opportunity for creative people in Austin to shine," offers Jim Butler, the City of Austin's Creative Industries Manager. "It's our job to make those opportunities real; to find ways that, whenever there's a spotlight on Austin, we can showcase our local talent." The lack of government and mass media attention towards local tech and creative output, vis a vis the frenzied coverage that often accompanies foreign visitors to Egypt, is a point of contention for many young innovators who lose out on the opportunities a city like Austin has made a pillar of its business policy. "There's this Texan phrase we like to use: 'Dance with them that brung ya'. In this context, we mean that it's the indigenous organizations that make the city what it is, whether cultural or tech. Thecompanies or high profile individuals that come to Austin owe it to the locals," explains Christine Maguire.

After four pregnancies, she had developed a ventral hernia, which is the separation and weakness of the abdominal muscles, resulting in the protrusion of the abdominal wall. She was frustrated that she could not get a flat tummy, no matter how much she exercises. Her family physician recommended that she undergo abdominal hernia repair, but she did not want to have a visible scar on the middle of her abdomen. During her consultation with Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Younai explained to her that she could have her ventral hernia fixed via a tummy tuck scar which is can be hidden under a bikini. Knowing that Dr. Younai specialized in body contouring she decided to have a combined tummy tuck and hernia surgery. Her cosmetic surgery went well and she recovered well at home for about two weeks. She was asked to wear a support girdle for six weeks and to refrain from heavy lifting during her tummy tuck recuperation.

Chris Knight bringing his truth and music to Montgomery on Friday
It's an 8 p.m. show at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre
Though people keep asking him about it, don't expect a new pandemic-themed song out of Chris Knight. In his 23-year career, Knight said he's already written something applicable to the virus at least five times before.
Songs like "The Damn Truth," which he released in 2019 a few months prior to the world changing: "Yeah man it's messed up times. Half the world's done lost it's mind. The rest are looking for a sign to hold on to..."
He doesn't like rehashing subjects just to rehash them.
"I've written about everything I give a s... about writing about right now," said Knight, a singer, songwriter and recording artist who was born in St. Louis, Missouri and raised in Slaughters, Kentucky (population 238).
Knight, 61, rode out the pandemic in 2020 at home in the Kentucky woods.
"I wore a mask when I went to get some groceries or whatever," Knight said. "Pretty much the only thing that changed is that I wasn't on the road."
Fortunately, a return to touring life has him bound for Montgomery on Friday, where he's got an 8 p.m. show at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre. Tickets range from $22 to $32 and are available online at mpaconline.org or by calling the MPAC box office at 334-481-5100.
Knight said it'll be him and his guitarist in an acoustic show of what he calls "rural music," his own honest style that touches on country, folk and rock. It's music he believes in. He wouldn't perform it otherwise.
"I'm looking forward to seeing everybody and doing the show," Knight said. "I hope people have a good time, and bring some friends with you."
Knight, who prior to the pandemic was used to doing between 90 and 100 performances a year, said March 15 in Texas was his last show of 2020.
"I didn't even get to tour on my last album," Knight said, speaking of 2019's Almost Daylight. "About five months after that album came out, everything shut down."
Asked if he'd even thought of doing online shows like many artists did over the pandemic, he said no.
"I didn't do any of that," Knight said. "I have no technological capability of doing it, and didn't really want to fool with it. I figured I'd just be back when I got back."
The new year found him ready to perform live again, though early 2021 was "spotty" for shows. Things are picking up, and Knight said the crowds have been great.
"It's four or five shows every month," Knight said. "I've got a fairly good schedule right now. We do a lot of acoustic stuff. Over half of the stuff I'm doing is acoustic shows."
But he hasn't left his band behind. They've performed some together already, and Knight said his guys will be ready for the full band shows that come along.
"They know what to work on, how we play them and all that," Knight said.
His shows are full of songs people want to hear, like "Becky's Bible," "I'm William Callahan" and "Jack Blue" that are three of Knight's favorites to perform.
He also often gets song requests for material he hasn't done live for years, or even decades. Among them are "Low Down Ramblin' Blues" and "Missing You."
"There's another one, 'You Lie When You Call My Name' that I always liked doing, but it hasn't been in the set for a while," Knight said. "There's some songs that people holler for that we need to work up into a band set... 'Highway Junkie' is another one we ought to get out and start playing. Somebody always seems to holler for that."
Knight said he's in a different mind space than he was a decade or two ago and hasn't been putting much of focus on writing new material.
"I can't write a song as good as 'Down The River,'" Knight said of his 2001 hit from the album A Pretty Good Guy. "I'm not as impressed with myself as I used to be."
That doesn't mean he's stopped altogether.
"I've written a little bit," Knight said. "I might get a good song here and there, a good idea. You can't do it until you're 80 years old. Well, some people can. I can't... I can't keep writing the same songs over and over."
The path Knight left behind
In a previous interview, Knight gave the Advertiser a glimpse into a path he walked for a decade, and then left behind for music.
"I went to college and got a degree in (agriculture), so I went out and used it for 10 years," Knight told the Advertiser in early 2019.
He worked for a mining consultant at first, doing technical writing and field work on coal mines. Then he became a mine reclamation inspector.
"It was reclaiming strip mine land. Handling the soil and following the regulations to reinforce the surface mining law," Knight said. "It had to do with water, water quality and stuff like that. Runoff from the mines. We checked all of that."
Knight said he enjoyed his work, but that a life of music was always on the back of his mind. "I decided if I was going to do it, I'd better go ahead and do it," he said.
Which he did, and would release his first self-titled album in 1998. From there, he released A Pretty Good Guy (2001), The Jealous Kind (2003), Enough Rope (2006), The Trailer Tapes (2007), Heart of Stone (2008), Trailer II (2009), Little Victories (2012) and Almost Daylight (2019).

Um caminho de desejo ou linha de desejo é um caminho criado como consequência do tráfego pedonal ou animal através de locais com vegetação. Normalmente representa o caminho mais curto ou de mais fácil acesso entre dois pontos. A sua largura e o grau de erosão do solo são indicadores da quantidade de tráfego pedonal ou animal que lá passa. Estes caminhos surgem como atalhos quando as alternativas são demasiado longas, dão demasiadas voltas, ou não existem.

Os caminhos/linhas de desejo são invisíveis em solo artificializado em meio urbano mas facilmente observáveis em locais com vegetação ou cobertos por neve.

Em meio natural
Estudos sobre caminhos de desejo mostraram em grande parte que os impactos nos solos e na vegetação ocorrem rapidamente, a partir da utilização mais precoce das linhas de desejo. Quinze passagens podem ser suficientes para ver o aparecimento de um trilho distinto, o que depois atrai outros utilizadores para o mesmo percurso.

As autoridades desenvolveram múltiplas técnicas para bloquear a criação de linhas de desejo, como cercas, áreas de vegetação densas ou sinalização. No entanto, os caminhantes continuam a ultrapassar estas barreiras. Como resultado, são feitas tentativas para evitar a necessidade de criar barreiras e restrições convergindo caminhos oficiais e linhas de desejo, através, por exemplo, da consciencialização do público.

Em meio urbano
A imagem dos caminhos criados pelos peões é para alguns uma metáfora para a luta entre a terra e o betão, o anarquismo, o design intuitivo ou a sabedoria das multidões.

No planeamento urbano, o conceito de linhas de desejo pode ser usado para análise de tráfego e percursos. Por exemplo, a sua utilização foi feita durante o Estudo de Transportes Públicos de Chicago em 1959 para descrever as escolhas feitas entre a ferrovia e o metro.

Em outros contextos
No design de software, o termo é usado para descrever as ações realizadas por alguns utilizadores de forma a contornar as limitações do software que usam. Um exemplo representativo é o Twitter, que "abriu" uma série de linhas de desejo integrando-as no serviço, incluindo citações, hashtags e discussões em grupo.

Mallinckrodt's stannsoporfin turned away by FDA
US regulators have rejected an application by Mallinckrodt to market stannsoporfin for newborns at risk of jaundice.
The UK group said it had received a complete response letter from the US Food and Drug Administration, outlining areas of further evaluation for resubmitting the drug for newborns ≥35 weeks of gestational age with indicators of haemolysis who are at risk of developing severe jaundice, or hyperbilirubinemia.
"The letter from the FDA was not unexpected following the outcome at the recent Advisory Committee meeting," said Steven Romano, executive vice president and chief scientific officer.
"We are evaluating the Agency's guidance and will request a meeting with the FDA in the coming months to discuss potential paths forward."
A decision on the future of the product in the US is unlikely to be make until this meeting has taken place, the firm noted.
Around 60 percent of babies have jaundice at birth, which normally disappears without intervention. However, in some cases the newborn is not able to clear excessive levels of bilirubin resulting, in an imbalance that leads to a condition called hyperbilirubinaemia. If severe and left untreated, this can lead to neurologic complications, including irreversible brain damage.
If approved, stannsoporfin, a heme oxygenase inhibitor, would be a first-in-class pharmacologic treatment for severe jaundice in newborns with a novel mechanism of action that inhibits bilirubin production at its source, Mallinckrodt noted.

Sculptra is a facial injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, which helps to replace lost collagen. Collagen is a key structural component that keeps skin looking youthful and smooth. As you age, your body's collagen production decreases, and you may begin to see wrinkles. Sculptra works to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds by replacing lost collagen, which can help provide a refined, youthful looking appearance. On average, three injection sessions are needed over a period of a few months. The number of injection sessions and the number of injections per session varies from person to person. A full treatment of Sculptra can last more than two years.


The AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G Lens from Nikon is short telephoto prime lens designed for FX-format DSLR cameras, but when used with cameras with a DX-format sensor it has a 127.5mm equivalent focal length. It provides an effective focal length for distortion free portraiture as well as other telephoto applications. Its ultra fast f/1.4 maximum aperture is very effective in low light and along with the rounded 9-blade diaphragm will create natural out-of-focus backgrounds that will isolate your main subject for an impressive professional look.

Lady Dukes fall to Brunswick in Region 2A tourney
Published 9:42 pm Friday, February 25, 2022
The 2021-22 Windsor High School varsity girls basketball team's outstanding season came to a close Feb. 22 with a narrow 61-56 loss to visiting Brunswick High School in an evenly matched contest within the Region 2A Tournament.
The No. 6 Lady Bulldogs led throughout the game and were up by 20 points at one point, but the No. 3 Lady Dukes came roaring back to pull within two points of tying the game later on.
Windsor Head Coach Wilhelm Johns said the deciding factor in the game was free throws.
"They hit theirs, we missed ours," he said, adding that the Lady Dukes' slow start was the other key variable in the contest, as Brunswick led 13-3 after the first quarter, 30-18 at halftime and 47-35 after three quarters.
Leading Windsor in the game, statistically, was senior point guard Tseday Brown, who finished with 20 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks, and sophomore center Shamyah Stephenson, who ended up with 19 points, eight rebounds, three steals and two blocks.
Turning around the program in a big way this year, the Lady Dukes finished the season with a 17-5 overall record.
"I will remember this team as the start of something new with the Lady Dukes basketball program," Johns said. "The future is bright, and we will continue to grow and get better. … This season was something special, but I know this is only the beginning."
Voting on All-Region 2A accolades will take place Feb. 28.

Wensum Pools Ltd are really excited to unveil our brand new website.
Wensum Pools have worked with Visualise since 2012, so when we decided to rebrand our website, we knew who to call!
We contacted Visualise Creative (a creative design studio based in Norwich) and asked to update our current website. Visualise had rebranded our company back in March 2012, before upgrading us to a fully responsive website in 2015. Therefore, we trusted they would deliver a fantastic bespoke design. We gave them our brief and the products we wanted to showcase, and they got to work straight away.
One of our favourite new features is our hot tubs "refined search" function.
Visualise have made browsing hot tubs much more user-friendly. You now have the option to search by brand, as well as the ability to refine your search by number of seats. You can also fill in an enquiry form to find out more information about our hot tub models. Simply fill in your name and contact details, and we will respond as soon as possible. Finding your perfect hot tub has never been so easy!

We also highly recommend browsing our creations gallery to view our wide range of installations and renovations from over the years.
Our website was hand-coded using a WordPress platform to create a fully responsive bespoke design.
Being responsive basically means that our website adapts well on a variety of devices, windows or screen sizes. The design is faster and more efficient; it is also more successful for SEO, keeping Wensum Pools high in the rankings for specific search terms.
We would love to hear your feedback in regards to our brand new website, designed by Visualise Creative.
We are really happy with our new website design, and we hope you like it too! Please get in touch via our social media platforms. You can find Wensum Pools on Facebook (@wensumpoolsltd) or Twitter (@WensumPools). We can't wait to hear your feedback!

Google Maps with the Google Assistant? This integration has been a long time coming we were wondering why it's taking the tech giant a lot of time optimizing navigation for the Google Assistant. Well, it only seems easy but in reality, it takes effort in making sure the Assistant can guide someone to a destination accurately and without any inconvenience. Google Assistant on Google Maps is another way of ensuring consumers can get to places around the city. This particular feature was announced by Google earlier this year at the I/O 2018.
With this development, you can focus more on driving with the Google Assistaon in Google Maps. There is no need to look up on a screen now because Google will do most of the work for you.
Simply say "Ok Google" or press the multi-colored mic on the display. Or you may wait for a popup in navigation for further instructions. You can send a text or play your favorite song without having to leave the navigation mode.
The update has been noticed by a redditors. Others noted it's something like Waze which means it can be very useful.
The new Google Assistant for Navigation makes some commands and apps run in the background. To get the said feature, you may update both Google Maps and the Google Assistant feature.

The Hothouse
Harold Pinter Création / Hors les murs
(Cet événement n'a pas de description en français)
With twenty-nine plays to his name, over fifty awards and prizes including the Nobel Prize in 2005 and the French "légion d'honneur" in 2007, playwright, screenwriter, director and actor Harold Pinter was undoubtedly one of the most influential and successful modern British dramatists.
Highly political with an urge to tackle all forms of oppression, political corruption and abuse of power with his characteristic sense of humour, Pinter showed all his trademark skills already in his second play: The Hothouse . Originally written in 1958 and then shelved for over twenty years by Pinter himself, it strikes today as an eerily prophetic piece with themes such as daily surveillance, disappearance of privacy and perma-nent control of our daily lives which at the time must have sounded like dystopian fiction.
A penitentiary in an authoritarian state run by a former military Colonel. Bureaucracy and corruption rule and the inmates are reduced to numbers. When one Christmas day, the cantankerous Colonel is confronted by a double crisis with the death of one inmate and the pregnancy of another, he finds himself increasingly cornered and sees the system he obeys so respectfully slip away.
The Hothouse is a blackly comic portrait of the insidious corruption of power, a deeply moral play suggesting that state-sanctioned torture and cruelty exist but are inexorably undermined by their dis- regard of the natural laws. And ultimately, it is a vivid portrait of a world so organised and controlled, that it loses all possibilities for individuality. It also depicts an acutely familiar world, where social dissidents, political challengers or truth harbingers are "cured" in closed institutions.
In order to re-create and enhance the chilling, claustrophobic and disturbing environment of the play, the Théâtres de la Ville are moving to an undisclosed location for this production. Anne Simon directs an international cast in an immer-sive, walk-through, multi-narrative, company-devised theatre experience which plunges the spectator right at the heart of the actual Hothouse!

Viewed as a high-end, top-quality stone when used in construction applications, granite is remarkable because of its durability and the staggering number of striking colors and patterns found in natural stone deposits.
Granite can be finished in a number of ways to alter its appearance and make it more suitable for a specific application. One of these finishes is called sandblasting. In this method, a machine is used to fire sand at the surface of the granite. The velocity at which the sand hits the stone is sufficient to create small pits and indentations.
Why Choose Sandblasted Granite Panels by StonePly?
Add texture: Sandblasted granite has a surface that looks and feels slightly sanded. Although sandblasting won't completely change the appearance of the stone, it will add some depth and variety that wasn't there before.
Achieve a lighter hue: Sandblasted granite is lighter in color than granite with a polished surface, but the natural beauty of the stone will still shine through. This finish is a good choice when you want the blacks, creams, golds, or greens in your chosen variety of granite to be slightly subdued.
Make a granite surface less slippery: Natural granite cladding panels by StonePly are suitable to use as flooring, but highly polished stone can be slippery to walk on. Sandblasting "roughs up" the surface of the stone to provide better grip.
Custom granite finishes–Simply tell us what you have in mind!
Many companies offer sandblasted granite panels, but the ones our production professionals create are many times more impact resistant, thinner, and more lightweight.
To learn more about how we can create cladding panels for your project that have the authentic beauty of natural stone without the downsides, visit the StonePly website. If you think our products and services might be right for you, contact us for a free initial consultation and estimate. We are available by phone at 903-454-4630, or you can complete the form on our contact page.

Hank Bought A Bus
Sep 7, 2013 | By Joseph Minardi
Something is happening in this country right now. As the economy recovers uncertainly and the real estate market remains tenuous, many Americans are looking at novel, alternative ways to live and save money. (In fact, we are moving to the suburbs in lower numbers than ever before).
Hank Buttita saw this trend, took the ante, raised it, and went all in. He doesn't pay a mortgage or rent an overpriced apartment or succumb to the soul-withering blackhole of the post-graduate job market. No, sir. Hank bought a bus.
And not just any VW hippie van: this is a full-sized school bus. Painted gray, Hank dropped about $9000 into its purchase and overhaul, which isn't exactly chump change, but it's a lot cheaper than putting a down payment on a house.
The bus began as Hank's final project for his Architecture program at the University of Minnesota. What started as an ambitious grad school concept quickly became a real-life experiment designed to test the bus's functionality and encourage discussion about the Tiny Home Movement.
Fabricated of compressed plywood and ample ingenuity, Hank designed the interior of the bus to most efficiently utilize its narrow 225 square feet of space.
The flooring is reclaimed wood from gymnasium basketball courts. (Those lines are three-point lines, so shoot your paper towel into the trash from behind them for extra points).
Multiple skylights provide a massive amount of natural light and are ideal places to enjoy an adult beverage.
A long strip of energy-efficient LED lights illuminate the cabin and impress visitors.
And would you just look at that sleeping area? That's nicer than our childhood bedroom. Where were you when we were kids, Hank?? The pillow fort potential is staggering.
As for Hank's trip itself, it's happening right now: a meandering, 5,000 mile take-it-as-it-comes mission from Minnesota, down the West Coast, and then back up and east through the middle of the country. Hitchhikers, family members, friends, San Francisco party people: everybody rides the Hank bus.
Hank's collaborator, Justin Evidon, is currently documenting the wily expedition with some very nice, very clean low-light photography. (See photo above).
At last update, Hank and company were leaving Las Vegas (with that feeling of relief we all know) and heading into the Martian landscapes of Zion National Park, Utah. Let's briefly review some of their earlier stops, in Hank's words:
On the possibility of living in Portland: There was no machine to rage against. I would have grown a shitty mustache, joined a moped gang, and retired at 25.
Portland, indeed.
On the spontaneous bus party in San Francisco: It was a wild ride, and I'm grateful the other passengers were only dancing on the roof while we were stopped.
On encounters with Yosemite Sam: The [park] ranger stuck his head in the cabin and took a quick glance around. We held our breath for a moment, unsure where this was leading. After a brief pause, he simply uttered, "That's pretty rad," and left.
For more of Hank's mobile-living experiment (and funny anecdotes), follow his progress here.
Also, be sure to check out the lively comments section, where diehard Hank fans argue the merits of traditional plumbing versus composting toilets.

Proteasome complex subunit Rpn13 ubiquitin receptor. This family was thought originally to be involved in cell-adhesion, but the members are now known to be proteasome subunit Rpn13, a novel ubiquitin receptor. The 26S proteasome is a huge macromolecular protein-degradation machine consisting of a proteolytically active 20S core, in the form of four disc-like proteins, and one or two 19S regulatory particles. The regulatory particle(s) sit on the top and or bottom of the core, de-ubiquitinate the substrate peptides, unfold them and guide them into the narrow channel through the centre of the core. Rpn13 and its homologues dock onto the regulatory particle through the N-terminal region which binds Rpn2. The C-terminal part of the domain binds de-ubiquitinating enzyme Uch37/UCHL5 and enhances its isopeptidase activity. Rpn13 binds ubiquitin via a conserved amino-terminal region called the pleckstrin-like receptor for ubiquitin, termed Pru, domain. The domain forms two contiguous anti-parallel beta-sheets with a configuration similar to the pleckstrin-homology domain (PHD) fold. Rpn13's ability to bind ubiquitin and the proteasome subunit Rpn2/S1 simultaneously supports evidence of its role as a ubiquitin receptor. Finally, when complexed to di-ubiquitin, via the Pru, and Uch37 via the C-terminal part, it frees up the distal ubiquitin for de-ubiquitination by the Uch37.
This domain occurred 1 times on human genes (5 proteins).

Q: Create another formated date string from an ISO8601 timestamp var date = '2014-02-02T20:10:00';
console.log(date);

Why does this return the following?:

'2014-02-02T20:10:00' //ok

but:
var date = new Date(date);
console.log(date);

returns:

Sun Feb 02 2014 21:10:00 GMT+0100 //bad

I would like to receive the following, where there is no offset:

Sun Feb 02 2014 20:10:00 GMT

How can I make it so?

A: You can not rely on Date to parse a string correctly (here is a comparison and that's before the introduction of ISO8601 parsing - ECMA5) into a Date object, so for cross browser it is best to do it yourself. You also can not rely on the string returned from Date.toString() and again for cross browser you will need to format it yourself, or use a library like moments.js. It's that simple.
The string you have is a date stamp in ISO8601 format and specifically, by the ISO8601 specification, is assumed to be local time as no offset is supplied, I am going to assume it is UTC. Many browsers and libraries, the W3C and the ECMA5 spec (that have errata that change the assumption) disagree on this, and you can not take it for granted that local time is assumed.
You obviously have a browser that supports these strings. But when you output Date.toString you are asking for the local time (as per your environment), but you want UTC (assumed) and so you need Date.toUTCString(), but these methods are implementation dependant and you may not get the same string in different environments.
Javascript
function parseMyDateString(str) {
    var parts = str.split(/[\-T:]/);

    parts[1] -= 1;

    return new Date(Date.UTC.apply(undefined, parts));
}

function padLeft(arg) {
    var str = String(arg);

    if (str.length < 2) {
        str = '0' + str;
    }

    return str;
}

function formatMyDateString(date) {
    var days = [
            'Sun',
            'Mon',
            'Tue',
            'Wed',
            'Thu',
            'Fri',
            'Sat'
        ],
        months = [
            'Jan',
            'Feb',
            'Mar',
            'Apr',
            'May',
            'Jun',
            'Jul',
            'Aug',
            'Sep',
            'Oct',
            'Nov',
            'Dec'
        ],
        dateString = [
            days[date.getUTCDay()],
            months[date.getUTCMonth()],
            padLeft(date.getUTCDate()),
            date.getUTCFullYear()
        ].join(' '),
        timeString = [
            padLeft(date.getUTCHours()),
            padLeft(date.getUTCMinutes()),
            padLeft(date.getUTCSeconds())
        ].join(':');

    return [
            dateString,
            timeString,
            'GMT'
        ].join(' ');
}

var iso8601String = '2014-02-02T20:10:00',
    dateObject = parseMyDateString(iso8601String),
    myDateString = formatMyDateString(dateObject);

console.log(myDateString);

Output
Sun Feb 02 2014 20:10:00 GMT

On jsFiddle

A: Take a look at this post on W3 Schools. It goes over the date object. There are several different methods there that you could use to get the date format you're looking for.

A: The issue is timezone adjustment, the following has an additional line of code which fixes your problem:
var date = '2014-02-02T20:10:00'; console.log(date);
var date = new Date(date);
date.setHours(date.getHours() + (date.getTimezoneOffset()/60));
console.log(date);

Here is a working code sample

The test scores range from 20-80 for each of the 3 components. Therefore the total scores range from 60-240.
The PSAT is also known as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). PSAT scores and grades are used to identify students who will receive the National Merit Scholarship. Scores of the National Merit qualifiers differ for each state, so will be up to you to research this.
The PSAT is given once a year in October. Although it is intended to be taken during your Junior year, it is highly encouraged that you get a head start and take it during your sophomore year as well.
What is the Difference between the PSAT & SAT?
The PSAT scores are presented on a different scale. Instead of each test being reported on a 200-800 scale, PSAT scores are on a 20-80 scale.
The SAT is much longer than the PSAT since it has an essay section. Without breaks, the SAT takes 3 hours and 45 minutes while the PSAT takes 2 hours and 10 minutes.
The questions on the PSAT are similar to the SAT except for the essay and also the PSAT has put less of an emphasis on Algebra II. The reason is because it is assumed that in for the age group of those taking the PSAT, many students may not have taken Algebra II just yet.
There you have it. Not only can you have an opportunity to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship, but the PSAT is a wonderful way to begin preparation and build your confidence for the SAT. It is never too late to start!
Is there anyway I can make up the PSAT? Nobody in my school told me where to go to sign up and the test was today, is there anyway I can take it the next day for it to be considered make up testing?
It depends. The first step would be to contact the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (their contact information is at the bottom of the linked page). I would recommend doing this as soon as possible.


Best of Black Friday Deals Week 2017 Round-Up: Day 3!
We're back for Day 3 of Black Friday Deals Week and now running out of steam a bit. Not because there aren't still good deals to be had, but because it's mostly the same stuff all over again. Since Black Friday starts almost a week early these days, we often see items drop in price for the entire week. We're not complaining, though!
For today, Nest did drop prices on most of its top products at almost all retailers. We've linked Best Buy and Amazon below, but feel free to check out other preferred retailers as they'll likely have the same prices. Amazon is also hosting a huge Huawei sale, though, plus we've got our first Google Home $79 deal at eBay, and a bunch of phone discounts at T-Mobile.
As we find more deals, we'll update this post. And don't forget to hit up all those bottom links for past Black Friday days.
Black Friday Deals Week Day 1: Best Buy!

Mid-century tower becomes Line Austin hotel with interiors by Sean Knibb
Dan Howarth | 5 August 2018 Leave a comment
Los Angeles designer Sean Knibb has renovated a mid-century hotel in Austin, adding textured surfaces and pale pink accents to update the guest facilities.
The Line Austin sits on the edge of the Texan capital's downtown area, overlooking the Colorado River and the Congress Avenue bridge – where tourists gather at twilight to watch flocks of bats fly eastward during summer months.
The modernist building first opened in 1965 as The Crest Inn, but has been updated by hospitality company Sydell Group as the third in its Line chain, following outposts in LA and DC.
Architect Michael Hsu helped strip the structure back to its mid-century bones, while Knibb was tapped to overhaul the 428 guest rooms and swath of communal spaces, with a brief to capitalise on the location.
"Interiors by Los Angeles-based Sean Knibb focus on drawing the surrounding nature in by opening the lobby to lake views, and adding landscaping that blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors," said a statement from the hotel.
In the lobby and lounge, a series of fireplaces create focal points for seating areas. Each hearth is made from a different material, rough cement, brushed copper, wood and marble among the surrounds.
To complement the muted hues, some walls are painted pale pink and a handful of furniture pieces are upholstered in soft blue.
These tones – along with sage green – are echoed in the fabrics used in meeting rooms and event spaces, which total 20,000 square feet (1,860 square metres) when combining indoor and outdoor areas.
Back in the reception area, plants are also used to create a welcoming atmosphere. A cafe serves tea and coffee, and an adjacent store carries branded merchandise.
The Arlo Grey restaurant opened with the hotel in June 2018, serving French-Italian cuisine made from local ingredients.
The space continues the colour and material palette from the lobby, with the addition of blackened wood that forms the central bar.
The bedrooms take advantage of the building's large windows, which stretch floor to ceiling and are curved at their top corners.
Austin Motel receives 1950s makeover from Liz Lambert
Facing either the city or the river, the rooms feature exposed concrete columns and sandblasted plywood headboards. Furniture is kept to the minimum to create more space and a contemporary feel.
"The guest rooms balance old and new elements with a minimalist design that focuses on the room's essentials: the bed, desk, and chair," said the hotel's statement.
Works by local artists are displayed throughout the hotel, while the city's live music scene is supported through regular performances.
Guests also have access to an outdoor terrace and infinity pool, where drinks and snacks are served to those lounging under plaid-patterned parasols.
A rooftop bar and a riverside burger joint are both set to open later this year.
Austin is brimming with places to eat and stay. Other recently completed options for travellers include Native Hostel that is meant to serve as an alternative to pricey boutique hotels, and the Austin Motel that has received a 1950s makeover to take it back to its roots.
Meanwhile, among new dining spots are Hank's, with "minimalist desert modern" interiors, and ATX Cocina, which features a dramatic, curved wooden ceiling.
