Our eyes are looked upon as the windows to the soul. On a tangible level, our eyes are also windows to the world and are constantly absorbing all the information around us. Being glued to cell phones, computer screens, televisions may be doing more harm than good to a person. Average adult spends more than eight hours a day staring at screens of one sort or another which leads to suffering from blurred vision, dry, itchy and watery eyes, headaches, double vision, and other symptoms of eye strain.
Even when not facing these gadgets, we are using our eyes for every single second that we are awake. Even though sight is considered to be the most developed, it is the most abused of our five senses. Hence it's time we take good care of them. Also since there is deep correlation between the eyes and the mind, tension around the eyes also affects the brain causing stress and anxiety. Therefore, when we close our eyes, our mind also feels relaxed. Only healthy diet intake and sleep are not enough to take necessary care of our eyes. Yoga plays a significant role as practicing specific asanas and kriyas can help to improve the functioning of the eyes.
Listed below are few simple yoga techniques and exercises that that will help ease out overused muscles, reduce tension in eyes and help improve eyesight.
Tratak – Popularly known as gazing exercise, it involves steady gazing in a well-composed posture, at a particular point without blinking. This kind of yogic cleansing can be done in many variations.
A – Similar to meditation or dhyan, in this process, eyes are closed and you need to concentrate between the eye brows. Also with closed eyes, you should slowly move eyes to the sides, followed by upwards and downwards and lastly by rotating them clockwise and anticlockwise.
B – This variation requires you to keep eyes open and concentrate on a candle flame (candle gazing, your thumb (thumb gazing), shoulder gazing or any other object or a point. It is important to know that vision should be focused and steady without blinking, for as long as it is comfortable.
While people with high myopia should avoid Tratak, others should do the technique without spectacles. Also it is fine to do the gazing techniques with contact lenses.
Palming – This relaxing technique must be done by sitting quietly with eyes closed. Then rub palms of your hands until they become warm and place them gently over the eye lids. The warmth of the palms and the darkness help to sooth eyes completely. Be careful to not apply pressure on the eye balls.
Cupping –This is done in a similar fashion as Palming but instead of placing palms flat on eyes, you should place your cupped hands softy over your closed eyes. Make sure that you do not leave any gaps between the fingers so that no light enter the eyes.
Blinking – You can sit comfortably with eyes open and simply blink your eyes for every 5-10 seconds at regular intervals. This exercise is recommended to individuals who work on the computer for long hours.
Focus Switching – Alternate focus between an object nearby and another at a distant.
Asanas – Most forward bending asanas help to promote blood supply to head which in turn help to improve the health of the eyes too. Specifically asanas like Chakraasana, Yogmudra, Uttanasana and more. Even Bhujangasan and Simhasana help to boost the flow of energy upward. Sarvangasana and Halasana also help blood to flow upwards and stimulate blood circulation in brain and optic nerves. Relaxation asanas like nispandabhava and Savasana promote relaxation of eyes. Sukshma Vyayayam, which includes easy exercises for the eyes along with other parts of the body, is also helpful.
Pranayama – Bhramari Pranayama, the Humming Bird exercise, helps to improve focus and coordination between both eyes.
Also splashing water on eyes with mouth full of water is one of the most commonly done cleansing techniques for eyes.


California became the latest state to enact the 2010 Amendments to UCC Article 9 when the governor signed Assembly Bill 502 on Friday, October 4, 2013. The new law does not include either Alternative A or Alternative B for individual debtor name sufficiency in § 9-503(a)(4). Instead, the bill provides a non-uniform safe harbor where the surname and first personal name of the debtor are sufficient in addition to whatever individual name is sufficient under current law. The bill sets forth images of the safe harbor forms in § 9-521 and will take effect on July 1, 2014. CSC will continue to track all UCC Article 9 legislation and provide update of any significant developments. Additional resources on the 2010 Amendments to UCC Article 9, including legislative status charts, are available at http://csctransactionwatch.com/amendments/.


SONY PICTURES OPENS A WASHINGTON OFFICE: Sony Pictures has hired Cameron Normand to open a Washington office. The film studio is a member of the Motion Picture Association of America and also retains the Smith-Free Group to lobby on its behalf, but it didn't previously have its own Washington operation. Normand was previously a longtime lobbyist for Time Warner — now known as WarnerMedia — and before that worked as a senior counsel to former Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), who is himself now a lobbyist at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. She'll be Sony Pictures' head of federal affairs and will help hire other staffers to build out the new office.
NCTA HIRES ANTELO: NCTA — The Internet & Television Association has added Cristina Antelo of Ferox Strategies to its roster of outside lobbyists. Antelo is one of a number of former Podesta Group lobbyists who started their own firms after Podesta's implosion in 2017. NCTA is one of the top lobbying spenders in Washington, shelling out $13.2 million last year, and also retains Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld; Avenue Solutions; BGR Group; Capitol Counsel; David Rudd & Associates; Federal Street Strategies; Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky & Popeo; Paul Unger; Plurus Strategies; Polaris Government Relations; and RML Strategies. The trade group recently parted ways with ML Strategies.
Good afternoon, and welcome to PI. In honor of President Donald Trump's reported decision to name Herman Cain to the Federal Reserve's board of governors, PI is rereading some of the best reporting on the infamous "9-9-9" tax plan Cain proposed during his 2012 presidential campaign. As Dave Levinthal (a PI alum) reported for POLITICO, Cain's campaign "received 76 separate contributions of $999, an additional 24 worth $999.90 and a half-dozen checks for $999.99" during the final quarter of 2011.

— "The consultants who received subcontracts include Pam Stevens, a longtime Republican media adviser who helped arrange media sitdowns for Verma; Marcus Barlow, a longtime ally of Verma who helped write her speeches and set strategy; and Nahigian Strategies, which helped Verma unveil announcements and whose staff accompanied her when she traveled." Full story.
— "In November 2016, Mr. Bernhardt had filed legal notice with the federal government formally ending his status as lobbyist. … A spokeswoman for Mr. Bernhardt, Faith Vander Voort, said in an email that the invoice had been labeled incorrectly and that the documents did not describe lobbying activity." Full story.
— Bernhardt's old firm, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, meanwhile, has seen "a surge in revenue from clients hoping to influence the" Interior Department since "he left for its upper ranks in 2017," The Washington Post's Dino Grandoni and Juliet Eilperin report. Brownstein Hyatt "has quadrupled its business related to Interior" over the past three years. "In 2018, two dozen clients paid [Brownstein Hyatt] a total of $4.8 million to lobby Interior, according to data compiled from a lobbying database maintained by the Senate. During the previous year, when Bernhardt left the firm to join the Trump administration as deputy secretary, it collected a total of $3.5 million in Interior-related revenue. By comparison, the firm's total income to lobby Interior in 2016 was $1.2 million." Full story.
HOW JEFF MILLER LOBBIES THE VA: Jasper Craven has a piece in POLITICO Magazine investigating the influence of former Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), who chaired the House Veterans' Affairs Committee and is now a lobbyist at McDermott Will & Emery, at the Department of Veterans Affairs. "As the VA has become an increasingly attractive target for corporate lobbying, Miller has emerged as a one-man gatekeeping operation. Although he has no military experience, the former television weatherman was an early backer of Trump's campaign — which, with his former committee chairmanship, gives him close ties to Congress, the agency and the administration." Full story.
FLYING IN: Executives of the members companies of the American Council of Life Insurers were in town on Wednesday to meet with members on retirement legislation and the industry's proposals for paid family medical leave, among other issues. They met with Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Reps. Trey Hollingsworth (R-Ind.) and Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.), as well as staffers from the offices of Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).
— Groups including the American Water Works Association, the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies, US Water Alliance and the National Association of Clean Water Agencies are on the Hill this week for a fly-in organized by the Signal Group, which recently registered to lobby for American Water Works Service Company. They heard from Sens. Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.), among others. And the Business Roundtable is flying in chief privacy officers from member companies today to urge lawmakers to pass national consumer privacy legislation.
HOW UBER LOBBIES: Bloomberg News' Naomi Nix, Ben Brody and Lauren Leatherby take a look at Uber's presence in Washington. "Uber set its fifth federal lobbying spending record last year, focusing on issues central to its growth strategy: winning approvals for innovations such as self-driving cars and flying cars and fighting to ensure its drivers maintain their status as independent contractors." Full story.
— Heather Higginbottom has joined JPMorgan Chase's public policy team as a managing director, reporting to Tim Berry, the bank's global head of government relations. She was previously chief operating officer for CARE USA and before that served as a deputy secretary of State during the Obama administration. The hire was first reported by Axios.
— Hal Quinn, president and chief executive of the National Mining Association, announced he'll retire at the end of the year. The trade group has retained Lochlin Partners to lead the search for a successor.

Vulpine, a UK-based cycling clothing brand, has recently launched an equity crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube with a mission to raise £500,000 for product and international expansion.
"We are a style brand, adapting proven classics rather than trying to offer the fashion items of the season. Vulpine is about attention to detail, quality and innovation. Everything we do comes from an intense focus on and passion for cycling. We aim to grow principally via our website but also through partnerships with key retailers.
The Vulpine brand has also entered into a joint venture with Sir Chris Hoy, Britain's greatest Olympic athlete, to create HOY Vulpine. It was noted that Sir Chris approached Nick and Vulpine, citing a similarity of inclusive ethos and dedication to quality. HOY Vulpine addresses the 'performance' end of the market, but with greater concentration on comfort and style. The brand's sales this year are already £350k since launch in February 2015.
HOY Vulpine expansion: Launched in February 2015, its success has created the need for a broader product range.
Supply chain flexibility: Long lead times overseas mean that greater flexibility is required, and can be achieved via British manufacturers. The much requested by customers "Made in Britain" range will launch next year. These are highly desirable products for the markets we are targeting. This requires upfront investment.
International expansion: Through brand-building and careful marketing with high-end partners, we are looking to enter the North American and Asian markets.
Since its launch, Vulpine's crowdfunding campaign has successfully secured over £200,000. It is set to close at the end of November.

A recently resurfaced 2017 Business Insider article reveals the best way to hack the Starbucks system. In it, a former barista explains that if you're at Starbucks because you want as much coffee as humanly possible (which, yeah), the only way to do it is to order a Venti Iced drink.
Want further proof? Starbucks nutrition facts confirm that both a Grande caffe latte, for example, and a Venti one come in at 150 milligrams of caffeine.
For all those still concerned they don't have all the information they need re: Starbucks drinks, you can find more information on that here.

Tone 11 holds the Intention of Resolution. Tone 11 integrates a new perspective into our faculties of discernment. All our loose ends are drawn together to Resolve our new way forward.
On Tone 11 the shaman make a climb to the Highest Altar to seek the Understanding of a Divine Discernment. The missing pieces filled in by Tone 11 will complete an understanding through simplification and improvement. The Truth we learned will become our own Common Sense.
Deer/MANIK demonstrates a Meaning and Purpose that will make us Happy. That was the Creator's Intention. Our path was created for a reason as simple as that. The Creator knew our Highest Experience of Living would be manifested through a Right Relationship of Loving and Forgiving. Holding that frame of mind and basic Intention, we would all be a Blessing to One Another. Love is the Power that can turn us all around.
Earth/CABAN is the Day Sign of Mother Earth. Mother Earth holds All the Consciousness of Love there is on the planet. Earth is an Expression of the Creator's Love. No matter what direction we look, the Beauty of the Creator's Love is always right in front of us.
CABAN is the Day Sign of Movement. Movement is a Sign of Life. So is Mother Earth a living thing. So does Mother Earth know the Darkness and the Light. So does Mother Earth have a purpose for always moving forward… a Divine Purpose. Moving was her Mission for us. With each new Sunrise our path will be Illuminated by the Light, the Creator's Love. Earth creates for us the One Day to Another that makes our journey possible. She moves by Divine Intention to offer the Beginnings and Endings of each experience. Her movement offers us a possibility to complete a journey of Love every day.
Earth/CABAN encourages us to keep moving on. The Cherokee Heron lives its life as a Migration, always looking for the next place of Abundance. The Heron is always moving toward the "next best place" To Be. We have to keep moving on to Know Love that goes on forever.
The Movement of Mother Earth leads us from the joy of one day to another. On the path of the Deer, there will always be More Love Tomorrow than what was possible today. The Creator designed us to climb higher each day for a Higher Discernment of Unconditional Love. Climbing to see more Love from a Higher Perspective is a never-ending journey. There would always be More Love to See.
In the 1st Uinal of our Germination, 4 Earth/CABAN was our foundation for stability. In the 2nd Uinal, 11 Earth/CABAN introduces Earth as our Higher Ground. In the 3rd Uinal, we emerge as the sprout into the Light of the world Above. The next gift ahead from Mother Earth will be an Empowerment for Moving in the Light, 5 Earth/CABAN. Earth is the Mother of Compassionate Love with the Duty to raise us up. Everything we need to Know, we'll learn through Her Beauty and Movement.
The Aztec Day Sign the Ollin (ah-lin) simply means "Movement." The Aztec mark this day as "lucky for the active principle" and "unlucky for the passive principle." Ollin clarifies the difference between forging our own path, and passively following along another. Creation requires us to make our own way. The paths we see around us can give us a sense of direction, but to walk our Own Path requires us to navigate our own direction. To stand on our own Truth, we have to know what it is. The steps of our path are different than any other.
Ollin is said to be a day when we can see what we are becoming. The guidance of Ollin, is an "All In" effort of moving with all our Heart.
What we need to know to advance from one step to another is a personal discernment. What is "right" for one depends on the Meaning and Purpose of the Time that was given to them.
The "Truth we are learning" is always the Truth we needed to Know Now. We're all in different places on our journey, what is best for one, is not necessarily best for another. We are all becoming "experts" of Love, and we're all attending a different school of thought.
We each have a Mission for our Life and for each Day. An army of warriors isn't very effective, when every member of the troupe is performing the same task. The big job at hand means some will be Forgiving, others Comforting, others inspiring Bravery, and some Offering a Helping Hand. Some will Serve to Love the land. Others will Love the animals. Some serve the old, and others the young. Some will create Beauty for the Sake of Love. We are each perfecting the facet of our own Light. Our path will be special from any other. We're each climbing to our own Highest Ground of Love.
To be a good Leader of Love, requires us to See and Acknowledge how many paths can all lead to the One Destination of the Creator's Love.
I'm convinced that we're all working very hard toward what we see as our own "worst flaw." Every Time has its own Purpose. I know I can be working very hard at something, and be encouraged by my own progress, just to find out I'm screwing up royally somewhere else. A Mission of Unconditional Love ASSUMES the Love in all of us. It assumes that if we're living, we're looking for Love, we're trying to Love our Self. If we Believe in the Light within our Self, we can Believe that a Light is trying to Shine through each one of us. We must Honor EVERY path that follows a Mission of Love. There is a need by Humanity for every kind of Love we can Give. We were designed to fulfill our own very special Mission of Love. We all HOPE that someone else could see us in our Highest Intention. That's what the Deer volunteers as the Hand of God to do.
Today is a day to open our Heart to Mother Earth, and to see that she's created a special place for every Human. Earth is our Endless Resource for Love. There's no place we could Be that doesn't reveal a dynamic illustration of the Creator's Love. By our Human Nature, we're always in need of something "more." A Provision of a Divine Creator even provided for that. If we just keep moving on, we'll see how Love climbs Higher, Eternally.
The Heron is a symbol of the Phoenix that rises from the ashes of its past. Today we can rise to the Simple Truth that More Love always lies ahead when we make Love the Mission of our Life. With each Sunrise we're given another chance to Rise to a New Beginning. We can stand on the Truth of Love we Knew Yesterday, as the Higher Ground that will lead us to a Higher Love tomorrow. CABAN calls us to Seize the Day as the Opportunity that's right in front of us. What we Love today, will create a new tomorrow.
There's no place on Earth we could be that wasn't Sanctified and Blessed as Perfect from the One Mind of Divinity. Wherever you are, you're standing on the your own Holy Ground. God Created the "Time and Place where we are" as always the Right Place to Know Love. Wherever we are, God left the evidence to see it. Whoever we are with, God left the evidence in them. God's Love is everywhere, seated in everything that's Loved without Condition.
A Divine Creator Resolves the path of our Mission to its Time and Place in the Universe. It's Here and Now. It's always Here and Now. Through a Provision of Divine Guidance this is where we arrived. Our Holy Ground is always right beneath our feet. Tomorrow's Holy Ground is one step closer to Unconditional Love.
Our Hearts are all connected through Mother Earth. There's been a lot of sorrow to carry this week. I'm feeling the same sorrow I felt for Flint, Puerto Rico and the Children – the sorrow of injustice. There is injustice. We're only given a way to navigate around it. All the people out of work weighs heavy. I wondered why I could hardly leave my bed yesterday. I'd thought this tragedy hadn't personally touched my life yet. Then I remembered this weight from tragedies before. Our hearts ARE connected. We can volunteer by Divine Intention to help carry the burden. We can stand by like CIMI the comforter, believing in a Divine Provision and a Blessing in the Future on behalf of every Human Being who suffers.
May we acknowledge a whole herd of Deer searching for Higher Ground, each one striving for a Higher Place to Be. May we Know in the Reaching, the heartache we share in our limits today. May we see that we are equal, in all the different ways of reaching for the Light. May we Know that sharing a Path to Love doesn't mean we're all on the same Road. A Divine Creator made all ways possible. May we know that whatever our own Road may be, in every path of Love, we are no less following a direction that leads home to the Consciousness of Unconditional Love. Just like Mother Earth, Humanity was meant to reveal Beauty through all the ways we are.
May we bring our Love to Mother Earth as a Offering of Sacred Exchange for the Beauty that's always with us that calls our Hearts and Minds to Love.
OFFERINGS TO THE MOTHER: The Elders taught that wherever we make an Offering to Mother Earth, we sanctify the Time and Place of Holy Ground with an Offering of Cornmeal, Tobacco, Water, or a Blessing from our Self – our saliva or a piece of hair. The Elder on the Andean shamanic path taught us to use floral water to bless the spot. The purpose was to awaken the field of Consciousness to the place where we are. May we Kneel in the Presence of her Beauty, Offering the Gift of our Consciousness, as the only Offering that's ours to Give that wasn't first given by Her. May we Bless the Whole of Mother Earth acknowledging ALL of her as Holy Ground.
IF YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SUFFERS: Mother Earth is always present to receive us in her arms for a healing. Earth was the first place the Elders would take us when we come to a breakdown. We were told to lie face down, connecting ALL of our Self to the Earth. They threw a blanket over us and left us there. Earth holds the magic of grounding and drawing off negative energies. One of the small ceremonies of Spiritual Tools we were given was to bury things in the Earth. The Earth changes things into something new. We could assign the healing to any object we bury, to leave something that no longer serves behind. Ask Mother Earth, and leave something of your Self behind.
ALL CEREMONY CAN BE CREATED IN ANY REALM OF BEING. THE CREATOR MADE A PROVISION SO THAT SACRED CEREMONY AND THE COMMUNION WITH ALL THINGS IS NO LESS AVAILABLE TO ONE HUMAN THAN ANOTHER IN ANY TIME OR PLACE. A PROVISION WAS MADE FOR EVERYTHING.

Note: this post tells the customer story of Captain Train.
However we recently switched to a new system for building our web-app. To host our source-code and perform merge-requests, we're using a self-hosted instance of GitLab. It's nice, open-source—and features an integrated build system: GitLab CI.
GitLab CI allows us to add more runners very easily. And now that builds are performed in Docker containers, we don't have to configure the runners specifically with our build tools: any out-of-the-box server will do.
Using GitLab CI, the build jobs are determined solely from the .gitlab-ci.yml file in the repository. This makes it really simple to edit, and you get all the niceties of your usual git work-flow: versioning, merge requests, and so on. You don't need to ask permission to add CI to your project. Lowering the barrier to entry for CI is definitely a good thing for engineering quality and developer happiness.
GitLab CI makes it really easy to build and test the branch of a merge request (or a "Pull request" in GitHub slang). Just a few lines added to our .gitlab-ci.yml file, and we were running tests for every push to a merge request.
We get nice red-or-green-status, the quite useful "Merge automatically when the build succeeds" button — and, as branches are now tested before being merged, much less build breakage.
GitLab CI provides "Pipelines", an overview of all your build jobs. This points you quickly to a failing build, and the stage where the problem occurs. Plus it gets you this warm and fuzzy feeling of safeness when everything is green.
Our Android team also migrated their pipeline, and are now building the integration and production Android APK with GitLab CI.
For further reading, you can find on the official website a nice overview of GitLab CI features, and some examples of .gitlab-ci.ymlfiles.

Discussion in 'Bass Guitar Discussion' started by ACfireandiceDC, Aug 3, 2015.
I just bought a 5-string Brice Defiant. I want to know what string gauge I should get because I am setting it up to tune to drop A flat. I think that .130 is too light and .174 is too heavy (I have a .185 that I tune down to F# on my other bass). Any suggestions? And for the other strings, I was thinking something like .105 to .45. Would this work?
Anything from .145 (extra light) upwards.
Any of the .145 and .150 would work fine with the drop A. For the rest of the strings, you are looking for a balanced set so that your timbre will be even across the board instead of boomy lows and brittle sounding highs.
Is this the standard 35" Defiant or the multiscale?
Very generally - .140 or larger. So much of it has to do with the specific construction of the string you are looking at though. Round core vs Hex core and the size of the core itself.
For low tuning like this you'll generally want a larger core string as they tend to be more stable for tuning that low. This is the idea/premise behind the DR DDT's and the GHS Big Cores. Not sure about the Kaliums.
Flats, if you are going that route, is a whole different story as they are usually a much stiffer string anyway.
Example: I've recently been working on a Drop G#/Ab (G#, D#, G#, C#, F#) tuned 34" scale Warwick Corvette 5 with the DR DDT Heavey Set. (.135, .115, .95, .75, .55) which is a big hex core.
.135 = Just a tad too floppy for aggressive playing, but not terrible at all. Most people would have you believe that .135 is far too small for Ab, but not necessarily so.
.115 = Perfect, could probably go down to C# before running into any issues. Or up to E.
.95 = Decent. This probably wants to sit at G to be happy though.
.75 = Too stiff at only a half step down. Small loss in dynamics.
.55 = Way to stiff. Hard time fretting at 1st and 2nd frets. Large loss in string dynamics.


In the cultural world we don't always consider the living artisans and artists whose livelihood is undermined by fakes.
US government attorney supports 18-month sentences and fines for the accused, but in many ways the damage is done, casting both real and fake Native American artworks into doubt.
Apparently enforcement against fakes, mostly from the Philippines, is increasing. Interestingly, this article notes that this person is the first to ever be sentenced under this law.


When trying to compare species either through "Compare" button in Explore mode or through Suggestions tab in Identify mode there are different levels of geometric filtering. The last level is "country". Unfortunately that is not very good as the coverage of current data is insufficient for uncommon species or less known groups. It is possible to remove the Country filter, but that brings up results for whole world, which is not reasonable in most cases.
Therefore, I would propose adding another filtering level below Country. It could be either "Continent" or some geometric radius from the current coordinates. It may be that the latter is technically difficult, but if it is not, some 1000 … 2000 km radius would likely suffice in most cases. It might even make sense to add both with the radius set at the lower value.
I see. Yet writing seems an unnecessary step - just selecting one would be faster. It should also help against wrong continent IDs.
Come to think of it, in many cases it might be good if you could not go wider than continent (= clear defaults to continent) except writing World or such in the search box.
@kueda — any reason not to include the continent on Compare/Suggestions? Most helpful for observations located in smaller/less observose countries than, say, the US.
Less useful for a hyperdiverse group like beetles, but, say, looking for birds or mammals of South America when the observation falls in Guyana, Venezuela, Suriname, or snakes of Africa when looking at observations in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, etc. Flora of Europe when looking at obs in Luxembourg, turtles of Asia when looking at obs in Laos, etc.
Fair enough. Also, "observose": wonderful.
Maybe too query intensive, but what about a 500 km perimeter and include only the species within? Just a thought.

Evaluating wood-based composites for incipient fungal decay with the immunodiagnostic wood decay test.

Early and accurate detection of the extent of fungal deterioration during forensic inspection of the building envelope would eliminate excessive or unnecessary replacement of wood-based building materials. Areas of water infiltration in wood-framed building envelopes in the Pacific Northwest were evaluated visually and sampled for moisture content. Wood samples were cultured in the laboratory and tested for the presence of decay fungi by the immunodiagnostic wood decay (IWD) test. In oriented strandboard sheathing, a correlation was seen between low moisture content, arrested fungal growth, advanced visual deterioration, and negative IWD results in a building envelope in which advanced fungal decay was discovered 3 years prior to the evaluation. Evaluation of exterior siding showed a correlation of high moisture content and of swelling and softening of the product with positive IWD results. We conclude that the IWD test should be used to indicate the presence of decay fungi in areas where high moisture content indicates a potential for biodeterioration, since moisture is a precursor for fungal growth.

The island of Bali is a world renowned travel destination that stands out quite a bit from the rest of Indonesia. Indeed, Bali tends to be thought of as a destination on itself since there's so much to see and do. The landscapes are dramatically different from an area to another on the island and the culture is very well alive despite Bali being quite touristy.
This post is mostly for adventurous travelers that are heading to Bali and want to know what to do, and where to go. What's behind the touristy centers and attractions such as Kuta and the Monkey Forest? Bali has plenty to offer and experience if you're willing to go a little off the beaten path.
The best way to experience Bali is probably to mix a bunch of activities together so you can get a real feel of the many dimensions of the island. In fact, there are a few activities that you simply cannot miss when traveling to Bali; cultural stuff, snorkeling/diving and surfing.
Experiencing the Balinese culture can be done in many ways but it sure implies to get off the touristy path. It can be very simple things such as driving a scooter yourself through the crazy alleys and boulevards of Kuta, and all the way up to Ubud. Indeed, it's an experience in itself to be driving aside a local mom with a newborn in a sling, a 2 years old boy in front of her and her young teenager on the back along with a cage full of livestock!
You can also learn a few words of Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language) and stop in rural areas to communicate with locals. Of course, you'll have to master sign language and have a good sense of self-mockery! If you do, go ahead and venture into the country side to communicate with complete strangers in a language that you don't know!
Balinese are genuinely nice and welcoming people. Thus, it's actually a great way to truly interact with locals to just go chat with them outside of touristy zones. I've spent 2 hours "discussing" with Balinese women through signs and pictures. Plus, they've taught me how to weave coconut leaves and gave us directions to a nice, secret beach!
We already offer you plenty of information on just about every diving destinations in Indonesia on Divezone, including Bali! Thus, we won't repeat ourselves here but let's go through a quick overview of the best diving destination for beginners and then for advanced divers in Bali.
Beginner divers in Bali will love Tulamben and Amed as the dive sites are great and the towns away from the big crowds of the south. If you have more time, you can also experience Padang Bai, and maybe catch a boat from there to experience the Gili Islands for a few days. The Gili Islands are great for beginner divers', but also for the travelers that simply want to snorkel.
Moreover, the Nusa Islands are just off the coast of Bali and represent a great opportunity for advanced scuba divers. Indeed, some of the best scuba diving in Indonesia, or at least near Bali, is said to be around Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida. Otherwise, around Bali you can head to the Candi Dasa area for some great diving around the small offshore islands. It's a great spot for shark encounters and you could run into an oceanic sunfish, also called Mola Mola.

Today I had a cracking day with Barney the Brewer who is my neighbour and fellow Summerhall resident. He approached me a couple of weeks ago to get some product photography of his fantastic beer. We both agreed that it would be much better to get some shots on location as opposed to using a white background. Wanting to hint at its Summerhall roots we wanted to find a location where there where some of the white tiles that you find about the place and also somewhere I could trundle all my fantastic but very heavy strobe kit to. After taking a while trying to squeeze the lights into tight spaces to get the light right we have managed to get some great shots. Here are a couple of the final results without any postproduction done in Photoshop and some of shots of the shoot setup. The first shot is of Barney's new brew extra pale ale which he is launching in a couple of weeks.

Howland/Imboden Project
Chicago's Guitarist & Drummer Go Live
Live At The Baked Potato spotlights the incredibly fiery guitar work of Keith Howland and the crashing drums of Tris Imboden, both current members of the legendary band Chicago. This music was recorded live on November 3rd, 2003 at the famous North Hollywood club, and finds the group ripping through a 72 minute plus set of their instrumental crowd pleasers, including "Philly Blue", "Theme From A Love Dream", "Cement Mixer" and "Don't Wake The Baby", just to name a few. Bassist Lance Morrison and keyboard player Steve Weingart don't disappoint either, to say the least. Live At The Baked Potato is guitar-powered fusion at its finest, as Howland repeatedly lays out fusion/rock flight after flight, punctuated with high-energy rock freakout where appropriate. An essential addition to your collection of Keith Howland discs, and a great introduction to his music if you're just discovering the man for the first time.
Keith Howland started like most kids with the Mel Bay books and a rented acoustic guitar when he was about seven years old. He had private lessons on and off all of his life but he is basically self-taught. Keith auditioned with the band Chicago in 1995 and got the gig over a roster of impressive candidates. Tris Imboden's consummate, innovative talents have established him as an eminent drummer whose unique style has garnered him a well-deserved ranking as a world-class drummer. Both communicative and emotive, Tris finds himself at home with a myriad of styles that spans generations and cultural borders. Whether it's rock, jazz, Latin, funk or blues, he imprints his own signature style while entertaining audiences around the world. Tris and Keith decided to pair up for their first solo fusion projects, and the results speak for themselves.
The pair keeps busy with annual Chicago tours, and was lucky enough to do some live gigs around the Los Angeles area in order to record the live CD.

Politics and Elections: Rural Voters Help Clinton Secure Nomination
Hillary Clinton became the first woman to win the democratic presidential nomination last night after winning four states, including winning the rural vote in New Mexico and South Dakota.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won most of the contests Tuesday night in the Democratic presidential primary, and that included taking a majority of rural voters in New Mexico and South Dakota.
Clinton beat Sen. Bernie Sanders in New Jersey, South Dakota, New Mexico and California. Sanders won in Montana and in caucuses in North Dakota.
Throughout most of the long Democratic contest, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has taken most of the rural vote. And last night Sanders captured a majority of the vote outside the cities in California and Montana.
In California, Sanders won 60 percent of the vote in counties with towns between 10,000 and 50,000 people – so-called micropolitan counties. He won 52 percent of the vote in the rural counties with no town larger than 10,000.
(See the charts below for a breakdown of Tuesday's vote between metropolitan counties, micropolitan counties and rural counties in all the states.)
But the rural vote in California was minuscule, amounting to only about 2.5 percent of the vote. Clinton won 56.4 percent of the urban vote in California.
Clinton also won the California primary in 2008, defeating the eventual nominee, then Sen. Barack Obama. The most noticeable difference between 2008 and last night's contest was turnout. Vote totals in 2016 were only 65 percent of 2008.
In New Mexico, Clinton's rural vote totals were slightly higher than her urban percentage. Clinton won 51 percent of the urban vote and just over 53 percent of the micropolitan and rural vote.
In New Mexico, rural voters constituted 30 percent of the Democratic electorate. And unlike California, turnout in New Mexico this year was 44 percent higher than in 2008.
Clinton won just over half the South Dakota vote in urban and rural counties. Again, voter turnout was down in South Dakota compared to eight years ago. The Democrat vote in South Dakota amounted to just over half of the 2008 turnout.
The vote in Montana was consistent, with Sanders winning 51 percent of the total in urban, rural and micropolitan counties.
New Jersey, where Clinton won 63 percent of the vote, does not have any rural or micropolitan counties.

Designed as a 'week-end in the bush' the Letaba 4×4 trail runs out of Phalaborwa, and through the Limpopo provincial reserve Letaba Ranch, a sector of Greater Kruger National Park.
This is an ideal Kruger 4×4 trail combining off-road 4×4 travelling, outdoor camping and game viewing. The trail is rated 3 in the dry (winter/spring) and 4 in the wet (summer/autumn).
* Both the above are additional to the published price, and will be quoted on request.
Experience "Africa" as we slowly grind along the off-road 4×4 tracks through this virgin bush travelling in a northerly direction. The route takes us past various water holes in order to maximise our game viewing opportunities, and on to our overnight campsite on the banks of the Baderoukwe River. Because there are no amenities at the camp sites, you will have the opportunity to use the full range of your outdoor camping equipment.
Depart after breakfast and follow the tracks to the confluence of the Great Letaba and Little Letaba Rivers where we will stop for lunch.
The route will now take us up river to our camp site which is situated on the banks of the Great Letaba River.
Who knows which of the "sounds of the wild" will accompany you to sleep? Will it be the laugh of hyena, trumpeting of elephant or the whistle of the tiny Scops owl?
Follow the tracks in a southerly direction to the Baderoukwe Dam and from where we will make our way to the gate. Exit the Letaba Ranch sector and drive back to Phalaborwa, to arrive in town at noon on Sunday.
The Letaba Ranch sector, unfenced from Kruger national Park, is historically known for its Big 5 sightings, big herds of Elephant and Buffalo, African Wild Dog, ample plains game and abundant bird life.
The purpose of the Trails is to afford trailists an intimate encounter with the wild-side of this remote area. Your guide will, within reason, adjust the pace of the journey to accommodate the group's interests but trailists are reminded that the distances and topography of the area are challenging. Remember too that "the sun waits for no-one" and setting up camp in the dark is not ideal.
You are embarking on a "wilderness experience" and the privilege of encountering special game viewing moments needs to be mentioned.
It is the holistic experience of travelling through this remote area, feeling its solitude and witnessing its recovery that will imbue you with the spirit of "bygone pioneers".
Conditions during the summer months can be very hot and humid with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees.
Winter nights can be very chilly with temperatures dropping to around 6 degrees.
Participants on the trail must be well prepared for the climatic conditions and should be reasonably fit.
Campsites are unfenced and located in the bush.
No water is provided for cooking or drinking.
Vehicles must be equipped with low range transmission and have good ground clearance.
4×4 "soft roaders" or vehicles with low profile tyres are not suitable.
Vehicles should be given a long distance service before the trail.
No camping equipment is supplied.
Trailists must for safety considerations sleep in a tent.
Trailists must be totally self sufficient for the duration of the trail. This includes all fuel, food, water, firewood, camping gear, cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery etc.
No waste may be burned or left in the Park therefore you should have strong plastic bags available to manage waste effectively.
Items of a personal nature e.g. curios, gratuities, etc.
Personal insurance: medical, baggage, cancellation, etc.
50% deposit confirms a booking, remaining balance payable 14 days prior to trail date.
Within 30 to 15 days of departure, 50% forfeiture of total booking value.
Within 14 days of departure, 90% forfeiture of total booking value.
This forfeiture applies to all persons who by virtue of their late arrival are unable to accompany the trail. No refund of the trail fee will be made.
The Letaba 4×4 Eco-Trail is located in Big 5 territory and overnight camps are unfenced.
In light of the exposed nature of the Letaba 4×4 Eco-Trail trailists must complete an indemnity form. Minors must be in possession of an indemnity form signed by a parent or legal guardian. These forms must be signed in the presence of the Trails Guide.
Regrettably, when all places on a trail are not booked by a single group, children under the age of 12 may not participate.
The general rules and regulations of Letaba Ranch, Makuya Park, Kruger National Park and Parque Nacional do Limpopo apply to our guests.
Trailists depend on the trails guide for their safety and for guidance. For their own safety and that of the other trailists, the instructions of the guide should be obeyed at all times. Failure to co-operate in this respect could lead to the immediate cancellation of the trail.
For reasons of safety and sensitivity, excessive consumption of liquor is strongly discouraged. Liquor may only be consumed at the overnight campsites.
The Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park is located in a Malaria area.
Malaria prophylactics are essential. Tailists should consult their doctor or chemist.
Whilst every endeavour is made to adhere to the trail description set out above, our trails are conducted in remote wilderness areas and occasionally circumstances in the park or prevailing weather conditions, over which we have no control, may arise. We reserve the right to amend the routing, location of campsites, distances travelled etc of any specific trail or trails and the guide's decision in this regard is final. If this happens on a trail on which you are a participant, we would appreciate your understanding.
Trailists need to be fully self-sufficient with low-range, high-clearance off- road 4×4 vehicles (soft-roaders can't get through this territory). Bring your own camping equipment, food and drinks. The lead guide has his own vehicle, and 2-way radios are provided for all vehicles on the trail.

If you're cleaning for company, you absolutely MUST make sure these 11 commonly missed cleaning spots are tidied up and spotless!
Oh, boy! The season for holidays and guests and get-togethers and parties is quickly approaching, all too fast in my opinion! Not only do we have all the usual Fall festivities, but we also have four (Yes, FOUR! Everyone but me!) birthdays at our house, all within a month-and-a-half of each other! So basically what I'm saying is, if you're wondering what I'm up to during Fall, the answer is cleaning. Frantically cleaning for guests because we get lots of them this time of year!
Of course, there's the usual suspects with sweeping and mopping and vacuuming and dusting (and maybe a little bit of hiding clutter in closets… Maybe…), but there's always 10 spots I make sure to clean that are particularly icky and often forgotten.
If you'd like a FULL house cleaning checklist, check out our Complete Spring Cleaning Checklist. It has a checklist for every room in your house, and it will be spotless by the time you're done!
So here we go! Don't forget to clean these 11 spots, or your guests might walk out in horror!
1. Kitchen Sink. I'm not talking about the dishes that might pile there. That's totally normal, probably expected, especially if you're preparing lots of food for parties, Thanksgiving, and the like. I'm talking about any crusty gunk that might accumulate around the edges of the sink (where it meets the counter), behind the faucets, and in or around the drain. The sink is where you wash and prep food! If your sink is filthy, it makes even the most delicious look a little less appetizing.
2. Bathroom. Think about this. The only place that your guests go by themselves is the bathroom. In the bathroom, they're not occupied with conversation, or eating snacks, or watching your crazy kids and vowing to always ALWAYS use birth control. It's the one place where the room actually has their full attention. So make sure your bathroom is in tip top shape, including dusting baseboards, clearing cobwebs, and shaking rugs. Stay tuned for three more specific missed cleaning spots in the bathroom!
3. Behind the toilet. Yes! Behind it! Especially if you have small boys who refuse to aim despite your incessant coaxing and bribing.
4. Toothbrush holder. Nothing really says dirty like having a place to clean your mouth that is, in fact, dirty. Be sure to wipe down your toothbrush holder and rinse it off.
5. Toilet handle. Seriously, no one wants to touch a toilet handle with mysterious goo on it. Because you just don't know what that might be, do ya?
6. Window Tracks. These have a tendency to collect dirt and grime and sometimes dead bugs (yuck!) as I'm sure you're all too aware. A quick wipe down will take care of it. Even better, try using a Q-Tip to get in there really good!
7. Television Remote. The TV remote often gets overlooked, simply because it's not part of the house. But it's likely that it's gotten smudgy, dusty, or even gooey over time and could use a good wipe down. Just use a damp rag to wipe it off, good as new.
8. Doors and Trim. Doors, door jambs, trim, and door knobs are all highly trafficked areas, yet they often get overlooked in cleaning. If you look closely, I'm sure you'll be able to see the exact spot used to open the door by the plethora of hand prints. This will be much more visible with each additional family member, and exponentially so if those family members are tots. These areas are easily cleaned with a warm, wet rag and some all-purpose cleaner. Just wipe the whole thing down: the door (don't forget the side!), door jamb, knob, and trim. Be sure to dry it back off so as not to warp the wood.
that gets dust and grime out of every crevice!
10. Kids' Toys. These are particularly overlooked because, let's face it, they'll just be dirty again in 10 minutes. But they do still need a good wipe down and sanitizing, at least once per month, if not more.
for dusting. Don't forget the tops of the blades, as well as the light fixture.

Since I'm short and can't see it, I always have to remind myself to clean the top of the refrigerator.
Peeves: homes with open high places over cabinets or room dividers with dusty silk plants and cobwebs. Unessential decor.
Trash cans! Yes, they're made to hold trash, but you should definitely wipe it down often, especially the lid.

The /i Squared and /i Cubed Technology system (patent pending) will build on the capabilities of Cooke's /i Technology, metadata system.
The newest /i Squared functions provide inertial tracking and shading data in addition to lens metadata to be used by applications such as matchmoving and 3D camera tracking. The position and orientation data, in addition to the lens data will help VFX teams to better deal with common issues like occlusions, fast camera motion (motion blur) and other known challenges associated with fast paced camera motions typical of today's cinema style. Inertial tracking, now part of /i Squared Technology, will help achieve these robust results by providing refined motion sensor data as links to PFTrack's sophisticated algorithms for better feature matching and solved 3D camera tracking under such conditions. Cooke Spherical lenses with /i Cubed Technology include all that /i Squared offers as well as distortion data.

Discrimination in Online Ad Delivery
Google ads, black names and white names, racial discrimination, and click advertising
Do online ads suggestive of arrest records appear more often with searches of black-sounding names than white-sounding names? What is a black-sounding name or white-sounding name, anyway? How many more times would an ad have to appear adversely affecting one racial group for it to be considered discrimination? Is online activity so ubiquitous that computer scientists have to think about societal consequences such as structural racism in technology design? If so, how is this technology to be built? Let's take a scientific dive into online ad delivery to find answers.

Eventual Consistency Today: Limitations, Extensions, and Beyond
How can applications be built on eventually consistent infrastructure given no guarantee of safety?
In a July 2000 conference keynote, Eric Brewer, now VP of engineering at Google and a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, publicly postulated the CAP (consistency, availability, and partition tolerance) theorem, which would change the landscape of how distributed storage systems were architected. Brewer's conjecture--based on his experiences building infrastructure for some of the first Internet search engines at Inktomi--states that distributed systems requiring always-on, highly available operation cannot guarantee the illusion of coherent, consistent single-system operation in the presence of network partitions, which cut communication between active servers. Brewer's conjecture proved prescient: in the following decade, with the continued rise of large-scale Internet services, distributed-system architects frequently dropped "strong" guarantees in favor of weaker models--the most notable being eventual consistency.

A File System All Its Own
Flash memory has come a long way. Now it's time for software to catch up.
In the past five years, flash memory has progressed from a promising accelerator, whose place in the data center was still uncertain, to an established enterprise component for storing performance-critical data. It's rise to prominence followed its proliferation in the consumer world and the volume economics that followed (see figure 1). With SSDs (solid-state devices), flash arrived in a form optimized for compatibility - just replace a hard drive with an SSD for radically better performance. But the properties of the NAND flash memory used by SSDs differ significantly from those of the magnetic media in the hard drives they often displace. While SSDs have become more pervasive in a variety of uses, the industry has only just started to design storage systems that embrace the nuances of flash memory. As it escapes the confines of compatibility, significant improvements in performance, reliability, and cost are possible.

Co4CC – Coaltion For Collaborative Care
November 24, 2014 November 24, 2014 Care, News
The Coalition for Collaborative Care (Co4CC) have launched their vision for coordinated, personalised care for people living with Long Term Conditions.
The National Care Forum (NCF) and Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) welcome today's launch of the Coalition for Collaborative Care (Co4CC) and their vision for person-centred, coordinated care and support.
TLAP will work closely with the Coalition, which brings together a number of major health organisations and charities, to strengthen the message and reality of personalisation in the NHS for people living with long term conditions.
ADASS president David Pearson, who co-chairs the TLAP Board, said:
"In the future, the work of this Coalition has the potential to transform lives and make a huge difference to millions of people living in this country. It's absolutely right to focus our collective efforts across health and care to get the best outcomes for people and families regardless of their health condition or care and support needs. By linking with the Think Local Act Personal Partnership, we will ensure the Coalition builds on what we have learnt in implementing personalisation in social care."
TLAP's Director Sam Bennett said:
"TLAP has worked hard to extend its influence in the NHS because we recognise the whole heath and care system needs to change so people, carers and families have more control and can live more independently. We welcome Co4CC's arrival and will forge a strong partnership to align our respective goals and practically deliver on our shared ambitions."

Software Is Not a Panacea for Product End-of-Life Management
Many companies involved in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries use software to monitor the lifecycle of products and components, particularly those items nearing their specified end of life (EOL). But is this approach effective? Sometimes managers don't realize that software is not necessarily a reliable lifecycle management tool until it is too late, after device decommissioning has had an impact on patients and public health safety.
Most large suppliers have designated EOL dates for products and components, but the end of life for certain medical device components is not as simple as just replacing the components. It requires a company to evaluate what's being replaced, identify the impact, make necessary updates, and conduct rigorous testing and reviews to verify and validate the new product.
As we previously reported, if a product goes EOL without proper advance planning, it has the potential to disrupt the company's supply chain, negatively impact revenue, diminish customer loyalty and incur unexpected costs. Companies failing to track EOL effectively also risk using technology that is no longer supported by its manufacturer, which can be dangerous and incur liability.
Managers may rely on software to plan for EOL, to be notified of upcoming EOL dates, and to manage change requests during an EOL migration. However, software solutions alone fall short, because the necessary end-of-life information often must be manually supplied by product manufacturers or suppliers. This human factor introduces risk and negates the accuracy of the software.
In those cases, the software designed to track EOL issues can provide companies with a false sense of security, leaving them in danger of being caught unprepared. Because software solutions always present an inherent risk of not delivering essential EOL information, companies need a reliable and automated means through which to obtain timely and accurate EOL information from their suppliers and OEMs.
Human Involvement Required for Complete EOL Transparency
Dynamic Technology Solutions has developed EOL and lifecycle management services to meet this need. We deliver on this requirement by proactively contacting the product suppliers regarding EOL issues to gain accurate, first-hand insights into current conditions and forecasts.
Armed with these insights, we can provide a consolidated view of lifecycle roadmaps with data integrated from our 800+ OEM and technology partners, enabling us to deliver automated alerts to key company stakeholders to inform them of EOL dates, which trigger a proactive EOL transition process.
Dynamic helps ensure seamless transitions and continuity for any changes that affect the components in our customers' devices, while reducing risk. Learn more about Dynamic's proactive EOL planning services by clicking here.
Software solutions provide efficiencies for countless business applications across different industries. But until there is a 100% reliable means to collect and disseminate EOL information from hundreds of suppliers, software applications for EOL management can never be expected to provide the level of safety and assurance required for medical device and pharmaceutical applications, where lives and human welfare is at stake. That's why Dynamic invests the time necessary to ensure complete EOL transparency.

Statement IICSA Report – English
Wednesday, May 5th, 2021 @ 2:54 pm
Child sexual abuse is a crime. It is a crime that requires committed vigilance and strict procedures to ensure reporting to the statutory authorities. This is the Church's policy. It is also why our safeguarding work needs to be continually reviewed and improved.
 icon-home » Our Work » Safeguarding » Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) » Statement IICSA Report – Engl...
The Catholic Church in England and Wales welcomes the Report from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse relating to the institutional response of the Church in its duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation.
We thank the IICSA Panel for their work. The Report will now inform the ongoing reform and improvement of safeguarding in all aspects of the Church's life.
An important aspect of the Inquiry's work was the voice given to victims and survivors of abuse, including the accounts which they gave of their subsequent engagement with the Church. Listening attentively to their witness testimony has brought into sharp relief the extent of the damage this sexual abuse has had on their lives.
We apologise to all victims and survivors who have not been properly listened to, or properly supported by us. By listening with humility to those who have suffered, we can contribute to the healing of the wounds of abuse, as well as learn from those most directly affected how we must improve the Church's safeguarding standards, policies and procedures.
This is an ongoing task and one to which we are wholly committed. Child sexual abuse is a crime. It is a crime that requires committed vigilance and strict procedures to ensure reporting to the statutory authorities. This is the Church's policy. It is also why our safeguarding work needs to be continually reviewed and improved. Where there have been failings and inconsistency in the application of our safeguarding procedures, we acknowledge these and commit to actions which will bring about improvement.
Abuse is an evil act against the most vulnerable; it must never be excused or covered up. Abuse committed against children and the consequent damage to people's lives cannot be undone. For this, we apologise without reservation, and we are committed to listen attentively to the voices of those who have been abused.
This report is an important moment in our safeguarding journey in the Catholic Church in our countries. It will now be considered in detail by us, the Bishops, at our Plenary Assembly beginning next week so we can explore how to integrate the findings of this important Inquiry into the life and work of the Church in order to consistently safeguard children and the vulnerable.
