Could consuming organic milk and organic meat not only decrease the amount of pesticides you ingest but actually be healthier for your health?
Why are fatty acids important?
Fatty acids have also been shown to improved neurological development and function, including protecting against Alzheimers and age related brain decline and better immune functioning.
They are especially important for childhood development since they "have been shown to be vital for brain health (neurological development) and vision in children".
What are the main sources of essential fatty acids?
Flax seeds, cold water fish (like salmon), algae and walnuts are all great sources of fatty acids, however the reality is that these foods are not in most people's daily diet, especially young children's.
Enter this new study and its findings….
Essentially, Newcastle scientist have found a way to incorporate these healthy fatty acids, while eating foods most people, especially children, already eat/drink on a daily basis: milk products and meat.
They found that half a litre (or 16.9 fl oz or about 2 cups) of organic full fat milk (or equivalent fat intakes from other dairy products like butter and cheese) provides an estimated 16% (39 mg) of the recommended, daily intake of very long-chain omega-3, while conventional milk provides 11% (25 mg).
Why would organic milk and meat contain higher levels of these healthy fatty acids?
Choosing organic whole milk and organic meat could actually better for your health than non organic options.
Ideally, in order to get all the essential fatty acids your body needs, make sure your diet is rich in both organic milk as well as other healthy sources of essential fatty acids like walnuts and seafood.
Interestingly, the study did find that conventional (non organic) milk does have 74% more iodine than organic milk.
Many people think that low iodine is a good thing, however the human body needs iodine to make thyroid hormone. This is especially important during pregnancy, infancy, and childhood, since the thyroid hormone is essential for the brain and nervous system to develop normally. Most people's diet is actually really low in iodine (indeed, many table salts do not contain iodine).
If you are on a pure organic diet, make sure your salt has iodine or make sure you are taking a supplement.


Hannover Re has announced that it has increased the volume of its K6 transaction (originally issued in 2009). K6 is comprised of portfolios of non-proportional reinsurance treaties in property catastrophe, marine and aviation lines.
The transaction has been upped by the maximum targeted amount of $152m and now represents a total volume of $329m. The additional capital was secured from both existing investors and also investors new to this particular transaction. Hannover Re stated that investor demand outstripped supply which is again a good indicator of demand for these assets now the market has recovered.

Wellington Cardinal John Dew formally opened and blessed the archdiocese's newest school, Our Lady of Kapiti School, on March 17, 2017.
The $6 million school, funded by both the archdiocese and the Government, replaced the 63-year-old St Patrick's School. It opened with a roll of 125 students.
In his speech during the blessing, Cardinal Dew said it was fitting to do the formal opening of the school on St Patrick's feast day.
"The buildings are important — but what is essential for Catholic education is the heart of the school — Jesus Christ. It takes many people to grow, develop and educate children," said Cardinal Dew.
He told the children how blessed they were to be supported by their families and teachers so they [the children] can develop their God-given talents.
"Families and teachers build on this foundation to create a community of believers so that children can learn to 'walk the way of Jesus Christ, live the life of Jesus Christ and tell the truth of Jesus Christ'. This is my vision for this school and for all our schools," he added.
Our Lady of Kapiti School principal Martin Elms, who led the school through its transition, said it was a very proud moment for him.
"There is a measure of relief that we are safely in our new facilities and children actively engaged in their learning. The spaces are working as we had imagined they would. Children and staff love them," he told NZ Catholic.
"For us all as a staff this whole journey is the ultimate 'teacher as inquiry' process. The classrooms and learning spaces have been designed and built using a brief which we were all involved in developing," he added.
The school was built to accommodate 250 students. It has ten classrooms and a school hall which displays stained glass from St Patrick's Church.
Mr Elms said the brief was for a warm and welcoming facility that is "flexible, variable and adaptable . . . free from the constraints of four walls, a whiteboard and 30 desks and chairs".
"The challenge for us now is to ensure that we use them in a way that engages children in learning that is relevant, meaningful and embedded in our Christian Catholic faith, ensuring all the routines and systems that come with a new facility are properly in place and functional," he said.
When the Paraparaumu and Waikanae parishes merged in 2013, the decision to build new facilities was made.
On his facebook page, Cardinal Dew wrote that "the new parish of Our Lady of Kapiti was presented with a unique opportunity to bring all its parish buildings together on one site, and they took advantage of this opportunity with courage and imagination".


'"Now whenever we hear those songs it's a sweet, ongoing reminder of our wedding day. "
Tegan and Rhys were married in the gardens at Caversham House in Perth's Swan Valley.
They wanted a traditional Anglican ceremony without the formality of a church.
Father Gibbons wore his decorative robes for very special occasions when he married Tegan and Rhys, adding to the ceremony.
Tegan's tip to future Brides and Grooms?
We would definitely recommend meeting with your chosen celebrant a couple of times before the ceremony and making sure you feel genuinely comfortable with them. It makes a very big difference on the day!

Discussion: Washington drops 'Skins moniker
Earlier this week, the franchise long known as the Washington Redskins announced that, after the completion of an investigation into their name, they would be changing their name. The franchise did not make clear any future name or a timescale, but the pivot away from an insensitive name was nevertheless due and is a major moment for professional sports. To discuss the monumental name change, I talked to DC sports expert and creator of The Wildcard blog, Joe Pohoryles.
John Riker: The Washington football franchise announced that it is changing its name. How did we get to this point?
Joe Pohoryles: In terms of changing the name itself, it was pretty quick. They've been calling for it to change for a while but there wasn't any real momentum a month or two ago. For [owner Dan] Snyder and most owners in general, money is the one thing that will affect change for the most part. Once the minority owners were talking about selling their shares and different merchandise outlets were stopping sales, once that all happened it all unraveled from there.
JR: In the days since the news came out, what has been your immediate reaction?
JP: It's due. It's complicated because there are so many different opinions about it and especially Native Americans, I've seen some that despise the name and have wanted it to change and some that view it a different way, so it's interesting to see how they think about it. Personally I don't care if they change it or they don't, that was sort of my mentality. If they want to change it, fine if that's the right thing to do. If they didn't change it, I wouldn't be outraged because I know it's a split issue among those who are affected by it, but it was probably fine to get rid of it.
JR: As a fan of the franchise, is it a mix of emotions to be moving on from the name the team has had for as long as you can remember?
JP: I don't think it will really set in until they get a new one. For now, it's in limbo. I know that it's changing, but it won't become real until they take a new name and I see what the new uniforms and logos look like. For now, it hasn't been much of a shock, it's waiting to see what happens.
JR: Where would you like to see the team go name-wise?
JP: I'm on the youth bandwagon for the Red Wolves, that seems to be the main younger fan choice on social media. They could do a lot of cool things with that. Warriors has been floated around, too. I would be fine with that, but I think they want to move away from the Native American depictions. I've heard Red Tails too, I'm not crazy about that one. But those three are the ones I'd prefer at least, with the Red Wolves on top.
JR: Do you think there is an immediate impetus for them to change everything before the season starts?
JP: I don't know what's possible legally. One thing they could have done to ease pressure off themselves is to say "after the 2020 season, we will be changing the name." I think that would have bought them more time and appeased some of the fans that don't want to see it changed, because for them the rug has been swept out from under them. It would have given one more year for those who didn't want to see the name changed to send it off. There are some who would say that it needs to be changed as soon as possible. Waiting a year wouldn't be terrible, but if they can do it before the 2020 season, then that's perfectly fine.
JR: Do you see the name change having other implications, such as perception and stadium location?
JP: I hope this means the stadium goes back to actual D.C. proper. I think it would be cool to have all three [stadiums] in the same city. As much as I hate their sports teams, I think Philadelphia's situation with the stadiums sharing the same parking lot is pretty cool to have. Just having them in downtown Washington is good enough. That would be pretty cool and make it a lot easier to get to games for those who want to go. I haven't been to a game since 2013. FedEx is not a good stadium, and I don't feel like supporting Snyder monetarily any more, but for other fans it would be good to have it moved downtown. For the new name, I think whatever the new name is will become normal once people get used to it after another 10, 20 years or so.
JR: Finish the sentence: this is the Washington franchise's best moment since…
JP: I'd say since 2012, if I wanted to be generous. That was the first time they won the division and there was optimism around the team. To stretch further back, 91 or 92. I guess there were some other decent moments between those two times. I think in 2012 there was real optimism around the future of the team and the pieces they had, specifically RGIII. Personally I'd say 2012, but you could also say 92.

Beyond all else, JP Olson credits the spiritual environment of her youth and adulthood as the propelling force in her life. JP's early commitment in her life to Christ has placed her on a journey which has allowed her to use her God-bestowed gifts as a vocalist in coordinating and conducting gospel music workshops, speaking engagements, teaching and preaching throughout the United States and internationally, from Australia and New Zealand, to France other areas of Europe, and to the continent of Africa.
JP firmly believes that God uses people, who are willing vessels, not only to listen to the still small voice, but to follow its lead.
On her mission, JP has used her gifts to lift, inspire, cheer and bring hope to all with whom she comes in contact. This action-oriented servant has been most successful in using the instrument of her voice to bring together a fragmented world in perfect harmony as God wills.
After praying for a word, JP heard as God placed upon her heart in 2010 to have a revival. Listening to God's call she prayed, fasted and asked God for a time, a name and a place. She sent requests around the world asking friends and believers to pray twice a day at specific times until the appointed time of the revival.
Holy Spirit Revival & Harvest was conceived by JP Olson and on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, a six day revival was held in Baraboo, Wisconsin.
There were twelve anointed speakers of God during the revival, replete with preaching & teaching the Word of Jesus Christ. Many accepted Christ as their personal Savior and were baptized through immersion in the water.
From childhood in Sunday School, Sunday worship services and Wednesday night prayer service, JP credits all in finding solace and inner peace. She considers her ministry as God's fulfillment of a broader mission to increase her effectiveness in His vineyard. With no reservation, she shares her gifts with other aspiring vocalists, via coaching, teaching vocal breathing techniques and control, as well as personal expression.
JP is a graduate of the University of Memphis. In 2009, she released her new book, Voices Out of the Box designed as a roadmap to guide its readers along the highway of proven and effective simple steps in preserving and protecting the voice in a healthy way.
JP Olson is a woman on a mission.
JP Olson is a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She is involved in community organizations and supports such causes as homelessness, international missions with an emphasis on ending the AIDS crisis, world hunger, and human trafficking. In addition JP is also developing a program to award two annual scholarships through The JP Olson Ministries for underprivileged students seeking assistance to further their educational goals.

Die Hard: Vendetta Review
First Released Nov 19, 2002
Die Hard: Vendetta
Considering how crowded the first-person shooter market has gotten lately, there really shouldn't be much room in your collection for Die Hard: Vendetta.
By Jeff Gerstmann on November 27, 2002 at 4:06PM PST
You'd think that a movie such as Die Hard would have all the makings for a fantastic video game. Actually, it does. It's got one hero up against a seemingly never-ending stream of generic bad guys, but with a few more-meaningful enemy characters thrown in along the way for good measure. Its setting is a huge, complex building that the main character, John McClane, has to ascend, level by level. It's got a big payoff ending in the form of McClane's rescuing a building full of hostages, including his estranged wife. Yes, the movie Die Hard truly has it all. Yet with the possible exception of Die Hard Trilogy and the Final Fight clone, Die Hard Arcade, every other game with the Die Hard name on it has been disappointing. That being the case, the new Die Hard: Vendetta, a first-person shooter for the GameCube, is pretty much par for the course, though it does a few neat things.
Die Hard: Vendetta takes place long after the Die Hard trilogy.
Vendetta takes place in the future. John McClane is an aging, gray-haired man, and his daughter, Lucy, is on the Century City police force. Lucy is on duty at the unveiling of a new painting recovered by Peit Gruber, the son of Die Hard's villain, Hans Gruber. As you might guess, young Gruber is up to something, and before long, all hell breaks loose. So, you'll make your way through 11 different levels in an attempt to stop Gruber's revenge plot, and the game will take you through city streets, film studio back lots, and everyone's favorite Die Hard setting, the Nakatomi Plaza building. The levels are fairly big, though some of them make you wander around too much, and they feel as if they drag on a little too long. The game's storyline is told through conversations with characters you meet in the levels and through prerendered cutscenes. The cutscenes look as though they were rendered using the game engine, yet for some reason they've been compressed into grainy video.

Now Playing: Die Hard: Vendetta Video Review
The gameplay is what you'd expect from a second- or third-tier first-person shooter. The game moves pretty slowly, the control and aim are jerky, and the game has an auto-aim feature enabled by default, which is so forgiving that it reduces firefights to a simple matter of pointing in the general direction of your enemies and pulling the trigger. Hostage situations lose all their tension due to this fact (you automatically draw a bead on the bad guy), and it also makes the sniper rifle completely useless. Why use the manual aim of the sniper rifle when your assault rifle auto-aims and never misses stationary foes? Disabling the auto-aim doesn't help things, as the control is so jerky that drawing a bead on an enemy becomes way too difficult.
The one thing that Die Hard: Vendetta does that separates it from your average first-person shooter is give you the ability to grab enemies from behind and use them as a human shield, much like you can in third-person games like Dead to Rights and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. You can put your gun to the head of your new hostage, usually forcing nearby enemies to drop their weapons and go prone. The game also borrows a few effects from Max Payne. You'll know when you've cleared out a batch of foes because the game does that Max Payne-like slow, spinning camera effect to show the final enemy taking fire. You can also activate "hero time," which is identical to Max Payne's bullet time. You'll slow the action down around you, but you'll still be moving at full speed, so you'll have all the time you need to take out anyone in your way. Given the game's general ease when playing with auto-aim on, hero time feels almost totally unnecessary. The game has no multiplayer options, which limits its replayability to going through three different difficulty levels.
Graphically, Die Hard: Vendetta doesn't get the job done. The frame rate is all over the place, varying in direct relation to how much action there is onscreen. The levels aren't particularly inspired--the Nakatomi Plaza level, for example, is a mess of a maze of strangely placed walls and office doors that don't open. The character models look decent, and the weapon models are also OK, but overall, Die Hard: Vendetta looks flat.
The game is loaded with a surprising number of four-letter words.
There is a lot of voice work used in the game--you can talk to most of the game's nonenemy characters, and some of them will have five or six lines of dialogue. Most of the voice-over is bland, and occasionally it's miscast as well. The actor used for John McClane sounds more like a gruff Will Ferrell than an older Bruce Willis. Additionally, a lot of speech just sounds odd, as if it's coming from directly next to you, even if the person speaking is behind you or rather far away. A lot of the gun sound effects are pretty bland as well. There really isn't much punch to any of the audio, though the script is at least interesting: That's because Die Hard: Vendetta is the most curse-filled game ever released on home consoles, rivaling even the recent Deathrow for the Xbox. McClane and the terrorists alike seem to swear constantly from start to finish. It's hilarious at times, but it also seems pretty out of place. Die Hard definitely wasn't a kid's movie or anything, but the game really seems as if it's going out of its way to insert curse words into its script, just because it can. Fans of the film will be happy to know that McClane's catchphrase that starts with "Yippie-kai-yay" is uttered in its original state on multiple occasions and by multiple characters.
Die Hard: Vendetta definitely had the potential to be a great first-person shooter, and to be sure, there are some decent ideas to be found in the game. But the execution is sloppy, and in the end, the game simply feels unfinished. Considering how crowded the first-person shooter market has gotten lately with the release of games like James Bond 007: NightFire and TimeSplitters 2, there really shouldn't be much room in your collection for Die Hard: Vendetta.

America's Shrinking Military: The End of U.S. Primacy?
America's political class has effectively acquiesced in a winnowing away of the country's military supremacy, come rain or shine.
Although the administration sees Iraq as the center of gravity and the prize to be won in the war against ISIL, Syria may actually be the place where a decisive, near-term victory is possible.
Lebanese and American officials gathered Wednesday to mark the delivery of more than 200 anti-tank missiles the United States says will help Lebanon's army defend its borders against terrorists.
Provocative moves by great powers are pushing the world one step closer to the ultimate disaster.


I feel that there is a problem with organized religion.
I feel people have taken God out of the equation, using his message to corrupt people.
People are paying to much attention to the messenger and not the message, having a relationship with God isn't about a building, the clothes you wear, it has nothing to do with anything you do or do not do.
It's not about you, it's about what he has done for you and what he has yet to do with you.
There is nothing on this earth that you can do to earn your salvation, only he can do this.
People feel the need to do things to gain God's favor.
God's favor is free, God's love is free, God's grace is free.
Its not about who is preaching, it's about what they are preaching, man will fail, fall and stumble.
Your faith is not about that man, its about The man.
Church is not a bad thing, it's the people in church that scare me.
People who take things out of context, people who ride on one scripture.
I'd rather deal with an atheist, then a lifelong holy roller who has been filled with religion.
Sometimes you need to start over with God.
Fresh, clean slate, you and him, one on one.
Have a personal relationship with him.
It's not about you quoting scripture.
It's about you knowing the author and finisher of your faith.

Peregrine (auch: Peregrine Lander), englisch für Wanderfalke, ist ein Mondlandegerätetyp des US-amerikanischen Raumfahrtunternehmens Astrobotic Technology. Peregrine soll als erstes Raumfahrzeug dieses Unternehmens zum praktischen Einsatz kommen. Der erste Start eines Peregrine-Landers mit dem Erstflug der Trägerrakete Vulcan wurde mehrfach nach hinten verschoben. Derzeit ist er für Mai 2023 geplant. Astrobotic strebt damit die erste amerikanische Mondlandung seit Apollo 17 (1972) an.

Peregrine ist ein reiner Lander, er kann nach der Landung auf dem Mond also nicht wieder starten oder gar zur Erde zurückkehren. Sein Zweck ist, Nutzlasten weich auf die Mondoberfläche zu bringen. Nach Erfüllung dieser Aufgabe verbleibt er am Landeplatz.

Geschichte
Peregrine ist eine kleinere Version des älteren Astrobotic-Entwurfs Griffin (englisch für Greif) und wurde am 2. Juni 2016 angekündigt. Im Dezember 2016 verschob Astrobotic sein ursprünglich angekündigtes Startdatum auf 2019 und verabschiedete sich damit vom Google Lunar X-Prize, der 2018 endete.

Im November 2018 qualifizierte sich Astrobotic als eines von neun Unternehmen, die der NASA im Rahmen der Commercial Lunar Payload Services Angebote für den Transport von Nutzlasten auf den Mond unterbreiten können. Im Mai 2019 erhielt Astrobotic einen ersten Auftrag der NASA im Wert von 80 Millionen Dollar zur Lieferung von 14 Nutzlasten in die Tiefebene Lacus Mortis. Insgesamt sollen im Juni 2019 Aufträge für den Transport von 28 Nutzlasten aus acht verschiedenen Ländern mit Peregrine vorgelegen haben. Der Start dieser Mission wurde zunächst für das Jahr 2020 geplant, dann auf Mitte 2021, dann auf das vierte Quartal 2021, und zuletzt auf Mai 2023 verschoben.

Einsatz

Der erste Einsatz für die NASA ist unter dem Namen Mission One (M1) geplant. Dabei sollen unter anderem mehrere Mondrover verschiedener Hersteller transportiert werden. Insgesamt sind maximal 90 kg Nutzlast vorgesehen.

Zu den Rovern an Bord der Mission One soll auch der erste "Cuberover" zählen, der in Zusammenarbeit mit der Carnegie Mellon University entwickelt wird. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Konzept für ein standardisiertes modulares Format zur Kostensenkung, ähnlich dem Cubesat-Konzept für Satelliten. Der erste Cuberover soll eine Masse von 33 kg und eine Höhe von 103 cm haben. Er besitzt vier Räder und zwei hochauflösende Kameras; seine Maximalgeschwindigkeit ist 18 cm/s.

Ebenfalls soll eine Bibliothek, die in winziger Mikroschrift auf Scheiben aus einer Nickellegierung geätzt wird, an Bord der Mission One sein. Sie enthält Wikipedia-Inhalte sowie das Rosetta-Projekt der Stiftung The Long Now Foundation. Außerdem ist eine Weltraumbestattung im Auftrag des Unternehmens Elysium Space geplant, das heißt, es werden Kapseln mit Teilen der Asche von kremierten Verstorbenen an Bord sein.

Die geplante Landeellipse ist 24 km × 6 km groß. Nach der Landung soll Peregrine auf der Mondoberfläche für acht Tage (192 Stunden) in Betrieb sein, bevor er seine Systeme herunterfährt.

Der deutsche Versanddienstleister DHL bot 2017 bis 2021 den Dienst MoonBox an, über den man kleine Gegenstände in Kapseln mit sechseckiger Grundfläche – es gibt verschiedene Kapselgrößen, die größte hat einen Durchmesser von 2,54 cm und eine Höhe von 5,08 cm und kostet 25.800 US-Dollar – zum Mond schicken kann. Die Kapseln werden als Sammelpaket in ein Moon Pod ("Mondbehälter") gepackt, und dieses soll dann mit einem Peregrine zum Mond gebracht werden. Der Transport, ursprünglich für 2019 geplant, soll im Mai 2023 stattfinden.

Technik
Peregrine hat einen Durchmesser von etwa 2,5 m und ist etwa 1,9 m hoch. Er soll in späteren Missionen bis zu 265 kg Nutzlast zum Mond bringen können. Zum Vergleich: Das größere Modell Griffin soll 4,5 m breit werden und bis 400 kg zur Mondoberfläche transportieren können.

Die Busstruktur von Peregrine besteht hauptsächlich aus einer Aluminiumlegierung und kann für einzelne Missionen angepasst werden. Sein Antriebssystem ist ein Verband von fünf Raketentriebwerken vom Typ ISE-100 des Herstellers Aerojet Rocketdyne. Diese basieren auf Lageregelungs-Schubdüsen von Raketenabwehrsystemen. Das Antriebssystem dient dazu, die Sonde aus Erdnähe in die Richtung des Mondes zu bringen (Trans Lunar Injection), zur Kurskorrektur während des Fluges zum Mond, zum Einschwenken in eine Mondumlaufbahn (lunar orbit insertion) und zur weichen Landung auf dem Mond. Als Treibstoff wird MON-25/Monomethylhydrazin verwendet, ein hypergolischer, aus zwei Komponenten bestehender Treibstoff. Zur Lageregelung werden zwölf Schubdüsen zu je 45 Newton verwendet, die ebenfalls mit MON-25/MMH betrieben werden.

Die Avionik an Bord der Raumsonde führt die komplette Navigation bis zur Landung auf dem Mond durch. Ein Doppler-Lidarsystem hilft der Sonde bei der Landung auf ihren vier Beinen. Die elektrischen Systeme werden von einem Lithium-Ionen-Akkumulator betrieben, der von Solarzellen aus GaInP/GaAs/Ge aufgeladen wird. Der Lander besitzt Kühlrippen, um Abwärme abzuleiten, sowie Wärmeisolatoren, er führt jedoch keine Heizelemente mit. Deshalb werden die ersten Peregrine-Lander die kalte 14-tägige Mondnacht wahrscheinlich nicht überleben. Zukünftige Missionen könnten das jedoch mit entsprechenden Anpassungen leisten.

Zur Kommunikation mit der Erde verwendet Peregrine unterschiedliche Frequenzen im X-Band in beiden Richtungen der Kommunikation. Nach der Landung ermöglicht ein WLAN-Modem mit 2,4 GHz die drahtlose Kommunikation zwischen dem Lander und Rovern, die der Lander auf der Mondoberfläche absetzt.

One of the most frequent electrical wiring thoughts is on how to wire a swap. When employing switches at home is fairly effortless, wiring a single may well not be that straightforward for everyone.

You'll find various kinds of switches, but for this instance, let's say that you are installing a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely common swap (along with the most straightforward).
You will discover 3 colors of wires inside a normal single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and connect them within the terminal screws - 1 on prime along with the other within the bottom screw with the switch. The white wire serves for a resource of uninterrupted electric power and it is normally linked to a mild colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the eco-friendly wire for the ground screw of your switch.
These steps would usually be enough for making a normal swap get the job done without a difficulty. On the other hand, for those who aren't self-confident that you can accomplish the job thoroughly and properly you far better permit the professionals get it done in its place. Following all, there is a reason why this activity is one of the most frequent electrical wiring queries requested by a lot of people.
For a few reason, the way to wire a ceiling fan is likewise amongst one of the most common electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this endeavor, you should utilize only one swap for the single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it is merely a make any difference of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan into the black wire with the switch. If there is a light, the blue wire must be connected into the black wire of the swap also.
You'll find reasons why these are essentially the most frequently asked electrical wiring queries. Just one, a lot of feel it really is uncomplicated to try and do, and two, they are the popular electrical duties at your house. But then you definitely mustn't set your protection in danger inside your intention to save money.

Crash occurred near East 153rd Street and East Redondo Beach Boulevard
COMPTON, CA, (October 10, 2020) - Alvin Chacon, 22, was tragically killed in a two-vehicle crash on Saturday, October 10th in Compton.
Alvin Chacon, 22, was tragically killed in a two-vehicle crash on Saturday, October 10th in Compton.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the crash occurred at about 4:00 a.m. near East 153rd Street and East Redondo Beach Boulevard. Further details about the accident were not immediately available. The CHP is investigating the collision.
FATAL CRASH INVESTIGATION
During its investigation, the police will try to determine what caused the crash that took Mr. Welch's life.
As part of the probe, a forensic examination of both vehicles will be performed. In addition, photos of the scene will also be utilized to help investigators determine which party is ultimately at fault, whether comparative liability is assigned, or whether a third party is responsible for a malfunction or mechanical error.
Several factors can play a role in accidents, including but not limited to impairment, reckless driving, distracted driving, road conditions and speeding. Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney, said that in cases such as this it is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned lawyer as soon as possible to preserve evidence.
"An attorney can collect the proper evidence to help prove that a driver's actions were reckless, which requires a variety of resources," said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst for The Legal Advocate. "In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide a family who has lost a loved one during this difficult time, protecting their rights.''
CALIFORNIA WRONGFUL DEATH ATTORNEY
Pending the investigation, the family of Alvin Chaconmay be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this tragic incident.
"The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident," said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. "We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected."

Video: Jane Goodall, UN Peace Messenger, Interviewed By British Ambassador Lindsay At Sziget "Love Revolution" In Budapest
In her 10 minute main stage address to a large Sziget Festival crowd, Jane Goodall expressed hope that the younger generation will take action to positively change the world regarding conservation, animal welfare and green issues.
"We can save the world, if we get together; we will save the world if we get together" Goodall said at the festival. Sziget's 'Love Revolution' in 2019 has a strong focus on environmental consciousness and sustainable development.
85 year old UK national Dr. Jane Goodall is considered to be the world's foremost researcher of chimpanzees. Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, she has worked extensively on conservation and on promoting animal welfare issues.
"The (chimpanzee) males compete for dominance, swaggering, looking big and strong, reminding me very much of many human, male politicians today," Goodall also said in her Sziget lecture.
She has served on the board of the Nonhuman Rights Project since its foundation back in 1996, and was named a UN Messenger of Peace in April 2002.
Ambassador Lindsay has quite some experience with interviewing well-known people, he said meeting Dr Jane Goodall at Sziget 2019 has a special place in his heart - you can see their interview below.

When Yousuf Khan became Dilip Kumar
Kumar was born Mohammed Yousuf Khan. In his autobiography, he wrote about how film star and studio head Devika Rani turned him into 'Dilip Kumar'

One morning, as I entered the studio I was given the message that Devika Rani wanted to see me in her office. I wondered what it could be. I was certain it couldn't be for expressing any displeasure because she was always courteous and pleasant whenever she met me and enquired how I was doing. So what could it be?
When I walked into her office, she was seated at her desk looking stunning and dignified as always. She smiled warmly and asked me to take a seat. I sat down and looked curiously at her. She began with the usual courtesies of asking me whether I would care for some tea made specially for her from leaves she had purchased from the English store in the city.

I was wondering what she had in mind when she came to the point, speaking in English, the language she was most fluent in. She said, quite matter-of-factly: 'Yousuf, I was thinking about your launch soon as an actor and I felt it would not be a bad idea if you adopted a screen name. You know, a name you would be known by and which will be very appropriate for your audience to relate to and one that will be in tune with the romantic image you are bound to acquire through your screen presence. I thought Dilip Kumar was a nice name. It just popped up in my mind when I was thinking about a suitable name for you. How does it sound to you?'
I was speechless for a moment, being totally unprepared for the new identity she was proposing to me. I said it sounded nice but asked her whether it was really necessary. She gave her sweet smile and told me that it would be prudent to do so. She added that it was after considerable thought that she came to the conclusion of giving me a screen name. With her customary authority, she went on to tell me that she foresaw a long and successful career for me in films and it made good sense to have a screen identity that would stand up by itself and have a secular appeal. I was quick to appreciate her concern but I told her I needed to think about it a bit. She responded: 'Fine … come back to me with your thoughts.'
'We are now ready to begin preparations for your debut. So we must hurry up,' she said breezily as I rose from my seat to leave.
I spent the rest of the day as per my routine but with the name Dilip Kumar ringing in my mind's inner recesses. S. Mukherjee Sahab noticed that I was rather contemplative that afternoon as we ordered lunch from the canteen and shared some fried fish that came from Ashok Bhaiyya's house. After lunch, when work started on the shooting stage, he asked me if there was something disturbing me and if I could share with him...
I told S. Mukherjee Sahab about the suggestion that had come from Devika Rani. He reflected for a second and, looking me straight in the eye, said: 'I think she has a point. It will be in your interest to take the name she has suggested for the screen. It is a very nice name, though I will always know you by the name Yousuf like all your brothers and sisters and your parents.' (I later came to know that Ashok Kumar was the screen name of Kumudlal Kunjilal Ganguly.)

Jets select LSU safety Jamal Adams with sixth pick
Published: Apr 27, 2017 at 01:50 PM
Marc Sessler
Around the NFL Writer
The New York Jets have needs all over the field.
On Thursday night, Gang Green chose to pad their defense by adding LSU safety Jamal Adams with the sixth-overall pick.
The pick gives New York one of the draft's most talented defenders, a hard-hitting, downhill tackler who exits college renowned by his former teammates and coaches as one of the best leaders in LSU lore.
"I think this is the second-best football player in the draft," NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah said after Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the selection.
The 6-foot, 214-pound Adams joins a wanting Jets secondary that includes Marcus Gilchrist and Calvin Pryor at the safety spots. The rookie will be given a chance to step in and shake up the pecking order right away for third-year coach Todd Bowles.
"He can play all over the field and he could have an immediate impact on defense just like Landon Collins did coming out (for the Giants)," one scout told NFL.com. "I love him. I think he's a winner."
The Jets have now used nine straight first-round picks on defensive players since taking quarterback Mark Sanchez in 2009. And why not, considering Gang Green has ranked in the bottom half of the league in scoring defense in five of the past six seasons.
The Jets have a long way to go to challenge for the AFC East, but Thursday's decision gives this team one of the draft's most treasured assets. It's a start.
Here are the official injury designations for 49ers-Eagles and Bengals-Chiefs on Championship Sunday.

Maxwell Charles Gaines (nascut Max Ginzberg / ˈɡɪnzbɜːrɡ / ) va ser una figura pionera en la creació del còmic modern.

El 1933, Gaines va idear el primer fulletó de paper de diari grapat i a quatre colors, precursor del format de còmics en color que es va convertir en l'estàndard de la indústria americana del còmic. Va ser coeditor de All-American Publications, una empresa de còmics pionera que va introduir personatges de ficció duradors com Green Lantern, Wonder Woman i Hawkman. Va fundar Educational Comics, produint la sèrie Picture Stories from the Bible. Va ser autor d'un dels primers assajos sobre còmics, un fulletó de 1942 titulat Narrative Illustration, The Story of the Comics.

Després de la mort de Gaines el 1947, Educational Comics va ser assumida pel seu fill Bill Gaines, que va transformar la companyia (posteriorment coneguda com EC Comics) en un pioner del còmic de terror, ciència-ficció i satíric.

Biografia
Max Ginzberg va néixer a la ciutat de Nova York, Nova York, en el si d'una família jueva. Maxwell Charles Gaines va ser descrit com un "home agressiu, turmentat, realista i decidit; de mentalitat dura". Quan tenia quatre anys, Gaines es va abocar massa a una finestra d'un segon pis i es va precipitar al buit, va caure sobre una tanca de fusta que se li va clavar a la cama. La cama li causaria dolor i molèsties durant la resta de la seva vida, agreujant el seu mal caràcter. Quan era adult, va desenvolupar un tarannà viciós i, segons el seu fill, William M. Gaines, "esperava el pitjor del seu fill i poques vegades estava decebut". Quan era adult, va desenvolupar un tarannà violent, segons el seu fill, William M. Gaines, "s'espera el pitjor del seu fill i poques vegades es va mostrar decebut". Gaines va reforçar contínuament aquesta creença descarregant les seves frustracions en el noi, colpejant-lo de manera salvatge amb un cinturó de cuir mentre cridava: "Mai seràs res!".

Carrera
Gaines, va ser mestre, director d'escola primària, treballador de fàbrica de municions i en una merceria. El 1933 va començar una nova feina com a venedor a Eastern Color Printing, que imprimia tires còmiques del diari dels diumenges. Va pensar que ajuntant aquestes tires podrien crear publicacions promocionals, Gaines es va posar en contacte amb Harry L. Wildenberg, director comercial d'Eastern i el seu superior directe. Els dos necessitaven idees promocionals per a un client, Procter & Gamble, i van suggerir a l'empresa un llibre de reedicions a color de tires còmiques a mida de tabloide disponible a cinc cèntims i una etiqueta o cupó de qualsevol producte de Procter & Gamble. La companyia, però, va rebutjar la idea.

Sense desanimar-se, i amb la benedicció de Wildenberg, Gaines va produir Funnies on Parade, una revista de paper de diari de vuit pàgines amb la reimpressió de diverses historietes amb llicència de la McNaught Syndicate i la McClure Syndicate. Aquests inclouen tires tan populars com les dels dibuixants; Al Smith's Mutt and Jeff del dibuixant Ham Fisher, Joe Palooka i de Percy Crosby Skippy. Tanmateix, aquest periòdic no es venia ni estava disponible als quioscos, sinó que s'enviava gratuïtament com a article promocional als consumidors que enviaven cupons extrets dels productes de sabó i articles de tocador de Procter & Gamble. Es van fer deu mil còpies. La promoció va resultar un èxit, i Eastern Color aquell any va produir publicacions periòdiques similars per a Canada Dry, sabates Kinney Shoes, cereals Wheatena, Phillips' Dental Magnesia, John Wanamaker Department Stores i altres, amb tirades d'entre 100.000 i 250.000.

Més tard, el 1933, Gaines va col·laborar amb Dell per publicar Famous Funnies: A Carnival of Comics, de 36 pàgines, seguit el 1934 per Famous Funnies, se'n varen publicar 218 números i és considerat el primer veritable còmic americà.

All-American Publications
El 1938, Gaines i Jack Liebowitz van començar a publicar còmics amb material original sota el nom de "All-American Publications". En aquell moment, Liebowitz era copropietari amb Harry Donenfeld de National Allied Publications, la companyia precursora de DC Comics, i Donenfeld va finançar la creació de All-American de Gaines. All-American va publicar diverses antologies de superherois / aventures com All-American Comics i Flash Comics, així com altres títols. Durant un temps, All-American i National van compartir esforços de màrqueting i promoció, així com personatges. Diversos personatges de National (Starman, Doctor Fate, The Spectre) van aparèixer al costat de Green Lantern, Wonder Woman i Hawkman d'All-American a l'èxit All Star Comics d'aquesta companyia.

Mort i llegat
El 20 d'agost de 1947, a Lake Placid, Nova York, Gaines, el seu amic Sam Irwin i el fill de 8 anys d'aquest últim, William Irwin, anaven a bord d'una llanxa motora quan va ser abordada per un altre vaixell. Gaines i l'ancià Irwin van morir en l'accident.

El fill de 25 anys de Max Gaines, William Gaines, va heretar EC i va canviar la direcció de la companyia.

Tot i que va continuar anunciant i venent números de títols educatius, Bill Gaines es va concentrar a afegir nous títols a la línia Entertaining Comics. Va substituir els llibres d'humor juvenil per títols dirigits a un públic més gran i fortament influït pel seu propi amor per la cultura popular. Aquests abastaven diversos gèneres mentre feia una transició del romanç (Modern Love) i dels westerns (Gunslingers) a la ciència-ficció (Weird Science), del terror (Tales from the Crypt) i de la sàtira ( Mad de Harvey Kurtzman).

El 1985, Max Gaines va ser nomenat a títol pòstum com un dels homenatjats per DC Comics a la publicació del 50è aniversari de la companyia Fifty Who Made DC Great.

Fire crews battle house fire early Monday just east of Topeka
Phil Anderson Philreports
Apr 2, 2018 at 4:48 AM Apr 2, 2018 at 4:39 PM
No injuries were reported early Monday at a house fire just east of Topeka.
The blaze was reported around 4:30 a.m. at a two-story residence at 2413 S.E. Alamar Road, which is about a block east of S.E. Croco Road.
Shawnee Heights Fire District officials said at the scene the blaze was found in a bedroom on the second-floor of the northeast corner of the home. Firefighters inside the room dropped charred debris out of a window and onto the concrete driveway below. The fire was declared out at 5:28 a.m.
At least two people were in the home at the time of the fire, and they made it outside safely before crews arrived.
The cause of the fire and an estimated dollar loss weren't immediately available.
Shawnee County sheriff's deputies, along with Westar Energy, also were on the scene.
According to the Shawnee County Appraiser's Office website, the residence was owned by Miguel Ramirez and Cortez Eloisa Martinez. Its 2018 appraised value was $149,250.
