Every day we are exposed to a variety of toxic effects, both from external sources (exogenous) and internal (endogenous). The degree of toxicity depends on the dose of the substance, the frequency of its adoption and impact strength. Effective detoxification involves changes in diet and lifestyle. Eliminate sugar, coffee, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and unnecessary use of chemicals, minimizes toxins. Drinking large amounts of water - best filtered and ionized water, increasing the amount of fiber and to include more fruits and vegetables in the diet and also the use of natural supplements are the basic steps in the process of detoxification.
Toxin can be called any substance that in any way has detrimental effect on normal physiological processes in the body. In the twenty-first age the risk of contact with a toxic substance is much higher than it was a few decades ago. There are many new, much stronger substance, not to mention the pollution of air, water, radiation and nuclear energy. We consume new kinds of chemicals, we take a lot of doses of various medicines, our diet is rich in more and more sugar and processed foods. In addition, we destroy our health, abusing synthetic sedatives or stimulants.
The very process of removing harmful substances - or detoxification - is essential to good health.
In natural medicine for many years been used detoxifying green pigments - chlorophyll and its derivatives - chlorophyllin, obtained from natural sources, such as alfalfa. Currently, their effectiveness has been proven by many scientific studies that indicate that the substance may significantly reduce the risk of damage to the body caused by free radicals, chemical carcinogens and harmful radiation. The binding capacity of chlorophyll or chlorophyllin for potential carcinogens, reducing its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and reduces the accumulation in tissues.
Chlorophyllins may also be used as an "internal deodorant" - affect the activity of proteins digesting enzymes, inhibiting the formation of unpleasant odors. Preferably affect regeneration, creating a hostile environment for bacteria and accelerating wound healing.
• There has been no adverse effects of chlorophyllin.
• Chlorophyllin taken orally may cause green discoloration of urine or feces as well as yellow or black discoloration of the tongue.
• Sometimes you may experience nausea after oral use of chlorophyllin - the preparation is flavored with peppermint oil.
• Taking chlorophyllin may falsify the guaiacol test results (test for occult blood in the stool).
• Due to the detoxifying properties of chlorophyllin, do not apply it during pregnancy and lactation.
• In a study conducted on mice, chlorophyllin alleviated some of the side effects of the drug - cyclophosphamide.
• There were no cases of overdose.

Q: tikzpicture in node of another tikzpicture: how to screen of from inheriting style? I wish to create tikzpicture environments inside a node of another tikzpicture.
The problem I encouter is that styles are inherited by the inner tikzpicture.
How can I screen of the inner tikzpicture form the outer one? Or is this impossible?
The following minimal example illustrates the problem:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
  \usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\begin{document}

% wanted: square centered on line
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw (0,0) -- (0,1);
  \node[fill] at (0,.5) {};
\end{tikzpicture}

% got: square to the right of line
\begin{tikzpicture}[red]
  \node[fill] (O) {};
  \node[right=of O] {% <- this 'right of' is inherited; how to avoid?
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw (0,0) -- (0,1);
    \node[fill] at (0,.5) {};
  \end{tikzpicture}
  };
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

A: In this specific case you can use anchor=center to restore the default positioning. The right etc. settings modify the used anchor.
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
  \usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\begin{document}

% wanted: square centered on line
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw (0,0) -- (0,1);
  \node[fill] at (0,.5) {};
\end{tikzpicture}

% got: square to the right of line
\begin{tikzpicture}[red]
  \node[fill] (O) {};
  \node[right=of O] {% <- this 'right of' is inherited; how to avoid?
  \begin{tikzpicture}[anchor=center]
    \draw (0,0) -- (0,1);
    \node[fill] at (0,.5) {};
  \end{tikzpicture}
  };
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

In the general case if you want to avoid any settings to affect the sub-tikzpicture I would store it into a savebox before the main tikzpicture and insert that box:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
  \usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\begin{document}

% wanted: square centered on line
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw (0,0) -- (0,1);
  \node[fill] at (0,.5) {};
\end{tikzpicture}

\newsavebox\mybox

\begin{lrbox}{\mybox}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw (0,0) -- (0,1);
    \node[fill] at (0,.5) {};
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{lrbox}

% got: square to the right of line
\begin{tikzpicture}[red]
  \node[fill] (O) {};
  \node[right=of O] {% <- this 'right of' is inherited; how to avoid?
        \usebox\mybox
  };
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

This still amazes me. A single Linux kernel image can be used for a 512 CPU machine. See SGI's work here and the related SlashDot story. Sure you may have heard about Linux clusters with thousands of CPUs before. However, in most cases this was a cluster of machines with 1-4 processors each. The scalability requirements from the kernel side of things are very different when you are dealing with a few CPUs versus 512. You can find out more about the Altrix line at SGI's website.
Linux running the worlds fastest computer, wow!
What really fascinates me about this scalability work is the algorithms required. Making a system like this work efficiently isn't about small optimizations it's about having algorithms that can scale well.
One technique currently used in the Linux kernel is RCU. Linux journal has had couple of good articles on RCU which are available from their website.


The combination of abilities is random and determined at the time of socketing (or previewing) a relic.
Artifact Knowledge Changes in Patch 7.3 54 коммент.
I feel like the randomness of those perks is going to be a source of constant complaint until they bind them to specific relics, much like the previous attempt at multi-perk relics.
When they say "you get a new AK level every week" does this mean that when you start an alt, level it too 110, you'll INSTANTLY get ak.. say... 42 (if EVERYONE is at 42 currently) and then next week you'll get ak 43 with the rest of the population, or does it start you out at ak 1, and then you have 55 weeks before you're maxed. I'm leaning more towards the 1st because I feel that'd be counter productive. but this is blizzard we're talking about. and they do some strange stuff in regards to alts.
No. I believe the patch notes said on the first PTR for 7.3 that everyone would automatically become rank 41 when the patch drops, then gain 1 per week.
or does it start you out at ak 1, and then you have 55 weeks before you're maxed. I'm leaning more towards the 1st because I feel that'd be counter productive. but this is blizzard we're talking about. and they do some strange stuff in regards to alts.
Well, I mean... our old system was sort of annoying. 4 days for an AK and you had to pay for it. Well... I like that better than waiting a week. Because if you start at 1, you're waiting more than a year and you have no control over it. 55 weeks, 52 weeks in a year. No one would want to do that. Which is why I kind-of don't like the way things are going, because if people new to legion just start out at 40, that makes no freaking sense. But it also wouldn't make sense to be at 1 and take more than a year to get to 55. I hope they just rework the whole system honestly.
(yup, caps lock was working as intended).
cause 2.5 billion ap is probably more than 1-54 in an un-empowered weapon. I can't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure you'd be wasting ap.
Ouch man. Yea I was debating on doing that too, but then thought better of it and put like a wq token in it and got it empowered.
Seriously. I'd ask how anyone could think this was a good idea, but Blizzard has been astounding all of us with the depths of their incompetence lately.
But the "hurr you do better or you can't criticize" appeal to authority is never a good look, tbh.
We don't need to be a professional chef to see if the soup is too salty or the meat is burned.
So how do you preview a relic when you don't have it in your bags? Say, a master looted drop? Or something someone may want to trade? Can you even preview it without going to the Crucible, even if it is in your bags?
Edit: Plus, do we have to go to the Crucible to take points in a new relic? Or do the relic points we chose in that slot always become the ones chosen for a new relic? What if the holy\/shadow traits we chose initially are poor on a new relic?
...This system is confusing and seems really bad so far.
A preview slot? Well that got boring really fast.
Personally I would prefer to see less RNG on a major weapon system but that doesn't mean removing the RNG entirely is the best approach. There is excitement in rolling great bonuses, there is disappointment in rolling weak bonuses, and without some sort of reaction the game loses as a whole. If you want a game where you can get everything "the best" then this isn't the game to play.
I mean, you just summed up a good chunk of the game and why Blizzard did their squish. AK\/AP is more an indicator of how ridiculous it can get.
Sweet, now when I use the boost that comes with the next expansion to boost a DK, I'll be able to get all three Больше мощи pets without killing myself.

Lessons from the Top 10 Richest in Africa
What Gets Small Businesses Up from the Ground
These 5 Drawbacks Could be The Reasons Why You Are Not Hired
From Broke to Billions: 5 Strategies These Billionaires Used to Get Rich
4 Crucial Ways Blockchain Can Aid The Government of Ghana
Joseph Amponsah
The richest men and women in Africa have stories that teach valuable lessons that everyone can learn from. I have read the summarized stories of the top 10 richest in Africa, and here are some priceless lessons that would change your life and business.
Start Young
Image Credit : www.dangote.com
Aliko Dango started his business at age 20. The young detribalised Dangote was only 20 when he established his small trading business in 1977, focusing on commodities and building supplies, IBTimes UK reported.
Johann Rupert, 65, is South African and currently the third richest man in the country. He is best known for its brands Cartier and Montblanc – and owns part of Anthonij Rupert Wines, named after his late brother.
He created the company in 1988 after spinning off international assets owned by Rembrandt Group Ltd, a South African company his father Anton founded in the 1940s as a tobacco manufacturer.
Rupert's networth is estimated at $5.3bn. Naguid Sawiris is the 10th richest in Africa with networth valued at $3bn. Sawiris joined the family business in 1979. Orascom, his father's company, was the largest private employer in Egypt at the time and was split into separate operating companies in the late 1990s
[junkie-alert style="red"] Do not wait till you have 5 years to go on retirement before you start a business. And do not wait for the never-appearing opportunity before you start. Create opportunities. Start young [/junkie-alert]
Not Afraid to Borrow
Aliko Dangote launched his business after his uncle lent him 500,000 naira. He inherited three cement trucks from his grandfather – as was the practice then – and took out a loan repayable over two years. Today, the Dangote group is the largest business conglomerate in West Africa, with a market capitalisation of $15.5bn, and supplies telecoms, textiles, and commodities such as cement, sugar, salt, and rice at competitive prices. Dangote owns 90% of publicly traded Dangote Cement, as at March 2016, through a holding company.[junkie-alert style="red"] Do not be afraid to borrow funds from financial institutions to expand your business. [/junkie-alert]
There are many businesses who leveraged their growth with debt, in addition to their organic growth. Be sure to pay back all borrowed funds and accompanying interest so you can take more when you need it again.
Diversified Portfolio
The top 10 richest men and women in Africa do not have all their eggs in one basket. They have interests in businesses in various sectors. Nicky Oppenheimer, $6.6B, has investment in his family's diamond mining giant and marketer DeBeers. Christoffel Wiese,$6.5B, has a portfolio including British fashion retailer New Look and gym chain Virgin Active, and furniture and home goods retailer Steinhoff. King Mohammed IV is the 5th richest in Africa with $5.7billion networth. He has investment in Morocco's largest bank, sugar company Cosumar, and mining company Managem Group.
Rank Name Net Worth Age Origin of Wealth
#1 Aliko Dangote $16.7 B 59 cement, sugar, flour
#2 Nicky Oppenheimer $6.6 B 70 diamonds
#3 Christoffel Wiese $6.5 B 74 retailing
#4 Johann Rupert $6.3 B 65 luxury goods
#5 King Mohammed VI $5.7 B 52 diversified
#6 Nassef Sawiris $4.9 B 55 construction, chemicals
#7 Mike Adenuga $3.5 B 63 telcom, oil
#8 Isabel dos Santos $3.4 B 43 investments
#9 Issad Rebrab $3.2 B 72 food
#10 Naguib Sawiris $3 B 61 telecom
[junkie-alert style="red"] To succeed, don't look at just one business. Once you build one, look to the next and the next. [/junkie-alert]
Not Afraid of Risk
Something I shouldn't be telling you. Obviously these Africans won't become billionaires if they were afraid to take risk. They have had their fair share of losses and failures but that has not stopped them from taking more risk.
Mike Adenuga, $3.5 has risked his flagship Glo brand beyond the borders of Nigeria. Globacom, is the second largest telecom operator in Nigeria, with 32 million subscribers. He has taken the business to Ghana and republic of Benin.
In May last year, Globacom lodged a $600m takeover bid for Ivorian mobile telecoms operator Comium Cote d'Ivoire, a company that had been grappling with debt and cash flow problems, IBTimes UK reported. Such is the risk appetite of Africa's billionaires.
Have an Eye for Opportunities
The rich men of Africa are able to spot profitable investment and invest in them. This is how they all built their wealth. Christoffel Wiese's biggest investment, furniture and home goods retailer Steinhoff, moved its listing from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in December 2015 in order to focus on the European market.
The billionaire see opportunities in the European market. Most of them have their businesses outside their home countries – a move that confirms their ability to spot opportunies.
Supportive Family
Aliko Dangote, Nicky Oppenheimer, Johann Rupert, King Mohammed IV, Mike Adenuga, Isabel Dos Santos, Issad Rebrab and Naguib Sawiris are billionaires who started and built their wealth with some level of support from family, and friends.
[junkie-alert style="red"] You cannot underestimate the power of your family ties and connections with friends in building wealth. Referrals and other forms of business support are some of advantages you enjoy from such an influential network. Make it count. [/junkie-alert]

You don't need to be a free-speech absolutist to imagine how this unprecedented, opaque, and increasingly sophisticated system could have unintended consequences or be used to (intentionally or not) squelch minority viewpoints. Everyone, Facebook included, wants to find a way out of the mess generated by every voice having a publishing platform. But what if there is no way out of it?

So begins Reema Ben Ghazi's tale set in Morocco. Reema awakes one morning to find her skin has changed from whipped cream to dark chocolate. From then on, every few years she undergoes another metamorphosis, her color changing successively to red, yellow and ultimately brown. What is the cause of this strange condition and is there a cure? Does the legend of the White Buffalo have anything to do with it? As Reema struggles to find answers to these questions, she confronts the reactions of the people around her, including her strict and unsympathetic mother, Lalla Jamila; her timid younger sister, Zakia; and her two best friends, Batoul and Khalil. At the same time, she must deal with the trials of adolescence even as her friendship with Khalil turns to first love. One day, in her search for answers, Reema discovers a shocking secret – she may have been adopted at birth. As a result, Reema embarks on a quest to find her birth mother that takes her from twentieth-century Rabat to post-9/11 New York.
Reema's humanity shines through her story, reminding us of all we have in common regardless of our particular cultural heritage. SHE'S LIKE A RAINBOW, which will appeal to teens as well as adults, raises intriguing questions about identity and ethnicity.

Lambchop's Kurt Wagner Discusses Their New Covers EP and Pandemic Musical Life
The frontman of "the most fucked-up country band in Nashville" returns Lambchop to their roots on TRIP. Each group member picked a classic song and was bandleader for a day, resulting in a record that reveals Lambchop's core influences in striking new light.
By Jezy J. Gray / 10 November 2020
Lambchop
Not much has changed for Kurt Wagner since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Nashville native spent most of his time in the house, anyway — listening to music, tinkering with songs for his long-running band Lambchop, and carrying out domestic duties to make daily life easier on his wife Mary Mancini, whose elected position as Chair of the Democratic Party of Tennessee is decidedly intense this year.
"Ever since she got that job, I pretty much decided to be supportive and take care of keeping the home front together," Wagner said. He explored this theme with trademark tenderness on Lambchop's 2016 album, FLOTUS, marking a seismic shift in style for the band as Wagner swapped his esoteric country-western chamber pop for digital vocal processing and skittering micro-house beats. But even as the sound of the self-proclaimed "most fucked-up country band in Nashville" continued to expand, Wagner's lyrical universe remained focused on the indoor, everyday drama of American life.
Wagner leaned into the possibilities of Lambchop's new sound with last year's This (Is What I Wanted to Tell You), a spiritual cousin to FLOTUS that found Wagner treading new sonic territory in a familiar environment: home. "When we clean, we make our lives better," his vocoder voice warbles about weekend chores over a looping sample on the album's opening track. "Some things are just that way."
Discussing his domestic life in these days of social distance, Wagner sounds like the characters who have populated his strange, beautiful songs over the last three decades. They too could weather a quarantine without much fuss: puttering around the house and side-eyeing dirty dishes, watching the light change in the backyard while the neighbors fight next door, spinning questions like "How do you get the cups out from up there?" into symphonic swells of psychedelic melancholy.
PopMatters spoke with Wagner from his home in Nashville about life in "the new not normal", the music getting him through, and recording other people's songs for his band's new EP, TRIP, out 13 November on Merge Records.
How's pandemic life treating you?
Oh, you know — alright. Weird. [Laughs] But I guess, in a lot of ways, I've just continued being the sort of hermit that I was already. So it really hasn't changed a whole lot about my day-to-day life, and that's really where a lot of my lyrics come from anyway.
I don't imagine it's affecting your productivity much, then.
I'm always working on stuff. It's one of the things that sort of keeps me glued together. I think I'm fairly productive. It's a balance. But again, I pretty much stayed at home and worked on music anyway. So I wasn't like many people who were unfortunately completely tied into the touring cycle. That is devastating for those artists and probably a big adjustment. They probably hadn't spent six months at home in years, you know? I can't imagine making that kind of transition. For me, it was sort of like, "Wow, this is sort of where I was heading anyway!" [laughs]

Do you think there's a future for that kind of touring cycle now?
I think it's going to be a bit of an experiment for a while, and I think people with means will be conducting that experiment. Eventually, I think, yes, there will be live touring music. I think local music scenes will come back, in a way, but the notion of touring — which was already economically challenging — is going to be even more difficult to sustain. It was starting to get hard for bands like us, mainly because we would only do things if we could afford to do them. [laughs] Even though we would supplement tours for the losses, there was a limit to that. It was becoming very difficult to do. But making records is really the focus. It's always been what we've wanted to do as a group, making records — that we can still do, and are doing.
I think the future of music is still good, especially when it comes to records. In a way, I think this has been a healthy thing for people who do make records and look at music from that point of view. I think you'll find artists releasing two and three records a year, and I think that's great. I don't know if we'll be able to keep up with it all, but I do think it's good from a consumer's point of view. But as far as the live element goes — which, you know, for many people is inseparable — it's going to be a bit of an adjustment.
But I do think it will come back. I mean, in the town I'm in [Nashville], they're desperately trying to bring it back as we speak. This week I think they're going to start having shows at the [Grand Ole] Opry. How long that lasts really depends on stuff I don't think anyone can control. There are just certain segments of the industry that are desperate to get something going on again. It just depends on whether or not that ends up being a sane, healthy decision. I don't know. I won't be going to the Opry this week. [Laughs]
I'm curious about what you've been listening to at home lately. What's in your quarantine rotation?
Oh, lots of stuff. I try to spend a pretty good portion of my day trying to catch up on everything that's going on. Everything from, like, friends' radio shows to new releases, or stuff that somebody else I know is working on or something.
Any new releases you're particularly excited about?
Oh man, I love that Bill Callahan record.
It's so good.
All his records are great. He just keeps doing it.
I really liked how he released the album track by track.
As someone who loves his music, that was a nice thing for him to do. It gave you a little something to look forward to every week. It's always nice to have something like that, especially on a Monday. It was a great idea, I thought.
Let's talk about your new EP, TRIP. It's a collection of cover songs, each picked by a different band member who then ran the recording session. Can you give readers the broad strokes of how and why it came together?
We had released our previous record last year, and we'd been doing some tours for that. We had another European tour planned, and it was just looking like we were going to lose so much money that it was probably not a good idea. So, in lieu of that, I thought, "Well, everybody's carved out the amount of space and time for doing this tour. Why don't we just make a record instead?" That way everybody can work. It gives us something to do, and then we have a tangible object to show for it instead of zero on the tour.
It worked out well. We all hung out for a week, and it was great. It was really fun and easy. Throughout Lambchop's existence, we've always sort of shared music with each other. We were always playing covers as well. Usually, one person or another would suggest a song. It's just a fun thing to do. So this was a chance for the band not to be shackled to my particular way of song-making. It was liberating, in a way.
I thought it would be nice to give these guys an opportunity to go a little deeper, to pick a song, and then guide the session. That felt appropriate. Not only did the other members not have to really worry about producing their music or writing it or anything, but I was just straight singing. I didn't even play guitar, which was fantastic. I really love that. I could just sit back and watch it all. Of course, I would interject my personality in my own way, just like everybody else. But it wasn't from the point of view of a bandleader or songwriter. I was just another musician, part of the band. It was a really nice leveler. Everybody contributed in an equal fashion.
Were you surprised by any of your bandmates' song choices?
I had no real preconceptions, to begin with. There really wasn't any of that. Each individual had the choice of doing anything they wanted to do, whether it would be something like Stevie Wonder or the George Jones song we did ["Where the Grass Won't Grow"], which was written by this guy named Peanutt Montgomery. It's such a broad range of types of music, like the song ["Shirley"] by Mirrors is an obscure song that a lot of record-collecting kind of people know about, but they only put out one record: an A-side and a B-side. And it's fantastic, but that's just completely different from another choice like "Love Is Here (And Now You're Gone)", which I think reflected Tony [Crow]'s personality as much as anything, in the same way, that Mirrors' song reflected Matt [Swanson]'s.
There's something about what you prefer in music, which I think reflects who you are. I'm really interested in that. It was exciting, and it was so much fun. I think everybody just really had a great time doing it. That's the other fun thing about covers — it's a lot of fun. It frees you up from whatever it is that you normally do, to just put on another sort of outfit.
But to answer your question, I will say that Andy Stack's choice of "Golden Lady" [by Stevie Wonder] was the biggest head-scratcher of them all.
That's my favorite Stevie song.
I'm not saying it's a bad song! But certainly, it's the most recognizable, probably the most covered, of all the songs. That made it the most challenging to make it not that. [laughs]
You took it in a very different direction.
Yeah, and it took some doing. Once we sort of cracked the code and got into it, then it all sort of came together in a really great way. The whole thing represented the sort of looseness of the whole process each day — it was about preserving that, as opposed to spending weeks polishing and getting it down to, you know, some sort of perfection. I really enjoyed the imperfections and the spontaneity of it.
It just makes me smile when I listen to it. It's just fun, you know? And even "Golden Lady" ended up being just great. And I don't think it was necessarily how Andy envisioned it, but when he presented it, he said he wanted something sultry. And in a way, it kind of is. I was like, "Wow, I guess we managed to do that."

Why did you pick the unreleased song "Weather Blues" by James McNew [of Yo La Tengo]?
It's a song James sent me around mid-year, and I was haunted by it. I made a solo demo of it prior to that, which we replicated in the studio. So in a way, the band had something to go by, just the way they did with any of the other songs — as opposed to it being completely unfamiliar to them. So, I think it met the criteria of what we were up to. I was glad we were able to do it.
I know it has a connection to your late mother. Is it a painful song for you?
It still chokes me up a little bit. [Her passing] was happening as I was getting the song from James. My mother's situation was a very long, dragged out sort of decline over several years, and it was drawing to a close. I had this experience of being at her bedside, and she had stopped recognizing much of anything, but she saw me and recognized me. And she looked up at me, and she looked just like an infant, a baby — but a happy baby, you know?
I've always been interested in how you become more childlike as you get older, but this was like an extreme version of that. Anyway, ["Weather Blues"] triggers that whenever I hear it. It reminds me of that moment, which was sort of bittersweet.
It's a beautiful song.
When it comes to your own music, you've said you like to challenge yourself to break your own rules, to get to places you haven't been before. 30 years in, are there still rules left to break in the Kurt Wagner rulebook?
Absolutely. Yeah! [laughs] But I mean, it's not like I just go out looking for that. It's more of a way to learn more. I want to be better at what I do. I want to be a better songwriter. That's why I listen to a lot of new music because I get inspired by all these different approaches and ways of going about making music — and all these amazing people doing it. There's plenty to learn from all that. You can get a lot of knowledge, or maybe it's more inspiration, from a lot of older music. I listen to plenty of that as well. But there are always new things to be learned.

Over the years, Kirk Franklin has grown to become one of the most influential personalities in Gospel music and entertainment generally, and he sure doesn't have any plans of slowing down his momentum anytime soon.
Tasha Cobbs & Tamela Mann.
Here's a track off the album titled – "My World Needs You" featuring Sarah Reeves , Tasha Cobbs & Tamela Mann.


The Cougars couldnt get the hit when they need it and left twelve runners on base and six of those runners were left in scoring position. Steve Bondurant just didnt have his good stuff tonight, and only got through five innings.
Bondurant didnt give up a hit untill the third inning. In all he gave up six hits and three runs. The main problem was that the Cougars just couldnt get anything going offensively when they had a chance.
The Cougars actually scored first, when they scored a run in the second inning. Brian Snyder led things off with a walk. One out later Luis Perez doubled down the line to right. One out later Eddie Kim then singled to center to score Snyder.
A double play got Bondurant out of a one out walk in the second. He couldnt get out of two out trouble in the third though. Terry Trofholz then singled to left. Willie Lewis lined one to left that just got past Nick Rogers for a double. Trofholz would score on the play to tie up the game. Lou Palmasiano then singled to left to score Lewis. Bondurant got Vinny Rottino to fly out to center to end the inning.
An inning later with one out Steve Moss homered off of the scoreboard in left center to give the Snappers a two run lead.
Kane County left the bases loaded twice in the game, the first time was the fourth inning. Snyder led off with a walk. One out later Luis Perez doubled down the line in left. Eddie Kim tried to get him over to third but hit a dribbler to the pitcher for the second out. Nick Rogers would then walk, which made it bases loaded. with the two outs. Brian Ingram then hit one that almost went out of the park but the right fielder would get it on the warning track to end the inning.
More trouble for the Cougars in the fifth when the Cougars got out of another inning with out scoring. Luke Appert led off with a single to left. David Castillo then grounded into a double play. Vasili Spanos was then hit by a pitch. Brian Snyder would then ground out to second to end the inning. In the sixth they would also leave runners on base. Dustin Majewski led off with a single to center. One out later Eddie Kim walked. The Snappers then made a pitching change to bring in Ty Taubenheim to replace their starter Greg Montalbo. Rogers would pop ip foul to first for the second out. Ingram would then be caught looking to end the inning.
Again in the eighth inning the Cougars would leave the bases loaded. With one out Majewski singled to center. Perez then singled to center also. The centerfielder had trouble getting the ball and both runners would move up a base. Eddie Kim would then draw a walk to load the bases. Kory Wayment then pitch hit for Nick Rogers. The Cougars would pitch run for Kim with Kory Wayment. Rogers would strike out. The Snappers would then make a pitching change. Mitch Stetter would come in and replace Taubenheim. Ingram then popped out to third to end the inning.
The Snappers would score two more runs in the seventh inning. Josh Murray then reached on an error by shortstop Brian Ingram. Leon would balk, Murray to second. Terry Trofholz then singled to left, Murray would score on the hit. Will Lewis then singled to third. Lou Palmasiano then singled to right to score Trofholz. The Cougars then made a pitching change to bring in Dan Fyvie to replace Leon. Vinny Rottino then reached on a fielder's choice with Palmasiano being out at second. Adam Heether and Steve Moss would both strike out, which would end the inning.
The Snappers then scored one run in the eighth inning. With one out Manny Ramirez doubled to left. One out later Trofholz singled to center to score Ramirez.
The Cougars would get a little bit closer in the top of the ninth. With one out David Castillo doubled to left. One out later Brian Snyder singled. Dustin Majewski would then homer for three runs. Perez then grounded out to short to end the inning.
Josh Beckett went back on the disabled list with a sore back. Michael Tejera was called up to take him place.

With 14 data centers around the world, you can choose where you wish for your data to reside. And they proudly promote speed tests from each server here http://www.site5.com/about/server-locations/ . They also publish real time shots of their server status 24/7. All service and support is handled by their own staff who know the business and none is outsourced.
It's ok now, I'm having pretty good results with them after a rough patch. You could take a look maybe.
They are holding steady right now, I'm hoping for bigger and better, so will wait and see.
had some issues with downtime. I do understand that everone can chave downtime but it did seem exsessive to me. The price was not bad so that was why i did stay with them.
Support continues to be suspect right now, hopefully it will get better like it used to be. Will keep my business here and hope they turnaround.
The interface is not bad. The hosting is ok too. The customer service/support is pretty bad though. I was unable to ever talk to a manager. My issue was all about billing. They put a charge on my card that I did not authorize and then would not adress the problem at all. I even asked to talk to any departments manager and could not get one on the phone.
Site5 has done a pretty good job for me as a host. I've not had the non response issues others have experienced so hopefully they are making that right. So far so good.
You would be pleased if you were to move your business to Site5, they are very competent and take care of business. Try them out if you need to find a new host for your business, you won't be sorry.
The service was OK when I had no problems, but when I did and they did not respond to emails, I had a very different experience.
Site5 is a pretty good site, they seem to have some organization happening, and the support is available for problems. There have been some problems lately with some uptime but they resolved these fairly rapidly, didn't leave me hanging to long.
I havn't been here too long but have been mostly satisfied with my experience. They sometimes are hard to reach but that's not true of every experience and they seem to be really trying to please you when there is a problem. I don't have extensive knowledge about this work as I've just begun but I would recommend site5.

27:48 Immediately 1 one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, 2 put it on a stick, 3 and gave it to him to drink.
2 sn Sour wine refers to cheap wine that was called in Latin posca, a cheap vinegar wine diluted heavily with water. It was the drink of slaves and soldiers, and was probably there for the soldiers who had performed the crucifixion.
4 sn Sour wine refers to cheap wine that was called in Latin posca, a cheap vinegar wine diluted heavily with water. It was the drink of slaves and soldiers, and was probably there for the soldiers who had performed the crucifixion.
6 sn Sour wine was cheap wine, called in Latin posca, and referred to a cheap vinegar wine diluted heavily with water. It was the drink of slaves and soldiers, and the soldiers who had performed the crucifixion, who had some on hand, now used it to taunt Jesus further.
9 sn A reference to Ps 69:21 or Ps 22:15.
10 sn In order to fulfill (τελειωθῇ [teleiwqh], a wordplay on the previous statement that everything was completed [τετέλεσται, tetelestai]) the scripture, he said, "I am thirsty." The scripture referred to is probably Ps 69:21, "They also gave me gall for my food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink." Also suggested, however, is Ps 22:15, "My tongue cleaves to the roof of my mouth, and you [God] lay me in the dust of death." Ps 22:1 reads "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?," a statement Jesus makes from the cross in both Matt 27:46 and Mark 15:34. In light of the connection in the Fourth Gospel between thirst and the living water which Jesus offers, it is highly ironic that here Jesus himself, the source of that living water, expresses his thirst. And since 7:39 associates the living water with the Holy Spirit, Jesus' statement here in 19:28 amounts to an admission that at this point he has been forsaken by God (cf. Ps 22:1, Matt 27:46, and Mark 15:34).

Waking up in a Country that Voted for Donald Trump to be President.
Posted on November 9, 2016 September 27, 2017 by lynnevtaylor
Yesterday, the unthinkable happened. Donald Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States of America. He's not only set to become President, he's now one of the most powerful men in the world.
This was predicted by The Simpsons in the 2000 episode 'Bart to the Future'.
The Simpsons predict President Trump in 2000
I don't reference the Simpsons because I find humor in it, but because when this episode was aired 16 years ago the possibility of President Trump was preposterous and laughable, and now it's a reality. That's the world we live in. I can't even bring myself to find humor in the memes today.
When we view America from abroad, we think of California, New York, Illinois, Washington D.C. It turns out that this isn't America. The vast majority of places and people we recognize didn't vote for Trump. Unfortunately, the cohesive reasonably liberal society portrayed by the media isn't the real America. Those states in red on the voter maps represent the majority, the ignored and ultimately those who voted in a way many of us deem to be deplorable.
Alaska voted for Trump. Alaska! We know Trump's views on climate change, and that his presidency is going to be a disaster for the planet. How could Alaska vote for him?
There are many inevitable comparisons to Brexit. For me, this seems so much worse. Yes, Brexit gave racists, bigots and haters validation that people shared their views and hate crimes increased, but I do believe that those types of people and voters were in the minority and that people in the UK had genuine and valid reasons for voting to leave the EU.
On a personal level, I was devastated by the UK's decision to leave the EU, but I understood that people were perhaps voting against the current system and against the establishment, rather than through hatred. This New Statesman article sums it up nicely.
In order to continue to live in this country, I have to believe that the same has happened here. That rather than actively choosing to vote for a racist, sexist, bigot people believed that they were so trapped a dramatic change was needed and this was their only option. Of course they did vote for Trump, and I can't possibly fathom why they would do that or justify it, but rather than stew and feel sad, the important thing for those of us that call this country home is to understand how the unthinkable happened and how we can prevent something this dire happening ever again.
No one I've spoken to in San Francisco thought this would actually happen. The media pegged Hillary as the clear winner. I'm worried, sad and fearful about life in America over the next 4 years. I hope some of the things Trump threatened were just 'locker room banter' and he won't actually be stupid enough to go through with his more controversial and ridiculous ideas. I hope people come together, fight for what's right and we don't get to say 'we told you so' when it all goes tits up.
I've been in tears this morning at both Hillary and Obama's speeches. I will leave you with this picture of Obama's adorable dogs in the White House to remind us all that there is good in the world.

Climate summit puts California, UC in the spotlight
UC Newsroom Thursday, September 6, 2018

Global Climate Action Summit
Dates: Sept. 12-14
Website: https://globalclimateactionsummit.org/
If the federal government won't lead on climate change, then California will. That's the subtext as thousands of leaders from around the world arrive in San Francisco for the Global Climate Action Summit.
Organized by California Gov. Jerry Brown and co-chaired by climate leaders from the United Nations, China and India, the three-day event is intended to highlight efforts around the world to address climate change and to build support for even deeper commitments ahead of COP24, the U.N Climate Conference scheduled later this year in Poland.
The U.S. formally withdrew from the Paris climate accord last summer, but plenty of cities, states, universities and Fortune 500 companies aren't backing down, as evidenced by the long list of summit attendees. Participants include former Secretary of State John Kerry, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Kaiser Permanente CEO Bernard Tyson, anthropologist Jane Goodall and dozens of other government officials, industry leaders, scientists and educators.
The University of California will be amply represented, as well. UC President Janet Napolitano — who has made climate neutrality a top priority for the 10-campus university system — will speak at several summit events, focusing on the unique role that research universities are playing in combatting climate change. She will also detail the operational efforts underway across UC that aim to achieve climate neutrality, including the recent announcement that 100 percent of UC's electricity will come from renewable or zero-carbon sources by 2025.
"At the University of California, we're attacking climate change across multiple fronts," Napolitano said. "We are cultivating the next generation of climate change leaders, conducting the research that builds knowledge and finds solutions, and developing meaningful collaborations with those who share our concern about this urgent challenge."
'It can be solved'
UC campuses are hosting a dozen affiliated events and the UC-administered California Subject Matter Project has partnered with CalEPA, Ten Strands, SEI, the California Department of Education and the California State Board of Education to convene a daylong meeting on Sept. 12, focused on the role of education in achieving climate change solutions.
"We need to educate and empower young people that climate change is not a hopeless problem. It can be solved," said renowned UC San Diego atmospheric scientist Veerabhadran "Ram" Ramanathan, who will speak at the event. "We need to provide tools and education for the next generation."
One of those tools is an online, solutions-focused course on climate change developed by Ramanathan and more than 40 other UC faculty. It was piloted across five UC campuses earlier this year, and is now rolling out more widely, from the Cal State University system next door to the University of Stockholm.
Ramanathan is also helping organize a statewide climate education summit with CSU in fall 2019.
"The goal is to create a million climate champions," Ramanathan said.
Although he has spent his career studying the greenhouse effect caused by airborne pollutants, he has become a vocal proponent in recent years of the idea that science alone can't solve climate change: It's a human problem that requires a sea change in attitudes, awareness and education.
Involving the most vulnerable
That idea has found fertile ground across the UC system, especially among students, many of whom see clear connections between climate change and issues of social justice.
"It all goes together and is part of the same system," said UC Santa Cruz student Max Jimenez, who will give a keynote at the education meeting about the importance of inclusive sustainability.
A fourth-year majoring in politics and community studies, Jimenez immigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines as an 8-year-old and grew up in Northeast Los Angeles. Her neighborhood had poor air quality, few healthy food options and lacked the resources available in more affluent parts of L.A., she said. Climate change will only worsen things. Homeless people, for instance, bore the brunt of the recent heat waves.
"It's getting harder to ignore that climate change already affects a lot of people. We need to talk about how we can involve the people who are most vulnerable," Jimenez said. "I'm hoping that there is a lot of networking at the meeting and we come up with good ideas."

Chris Clark aka Clark will release his next album Iradelphic via Warp in April. Clark, who was still in his teens when he signed to Warp, operates at the bleeding edge of glitchified electronics, crafting his music out of tiny fragments of sound and inecting the results with a human, soulful sweep. If machines could cry, they would sound like Clark. His last album Totems Flare was a big EB favourite and so we are very excited about Iradelphic based on the free track 'Com Touch' which you can check out here.
Warp will release Iradelphic on April 2nd 2012.

Isabel Virginia Hull (born 1949) is John Stambaugh Professor Emerita of History and the former chair of the history department at Cornell University. She specializes in German history from 1700 to 1945, with a focus on sociopolitics, political theory, and gender/sexuality.  Since January 2006, Hull has served on the editorial board of the Journal of Modern History.

Education
Hull received her B.A. from the University of Michigan in 1970 and her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1978. She teaches courses on European fascism, World War I, German history 1648–present, and international law.

Research
The position for which Hull is best known, embodied in her two most recent books, is that Germany before and during World War I was uniquely indifferent to international law among the great powers, and (contrary to established historiography) that its responsibility for bringing the war about was much greater than that of the Allied powers. In 2014, Hull published A Scrap of Paper: Breaking and Making International Law During the Great War, analyzing the Allied blockade of Germany. The book was criticized by other historians for failing "to take considerations of morality and, perhaps more importantly, legitimacy [of the blockade] into account".

Michael Geyer of the University of Chicago has stated that "Isabel V. Hull is one of the most accomplished German historians and surely the best of her generation," and she has been described by VICE News as "one of America's leading scholars on the role of fascism in history." She is a winner of the Ralph Waldo Emerson Award and the Leo Gershoy Award (1996), is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has been a Guggenheim Fellow and an Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung Research Fellow. In 2013, she was awarded the inaugural International Research Support Prize by the Max Weber Stiftung and the Historisches Kolleg.

06.12.2019 | National Fund researchers: An important role for hydropower
Grids Renewable energy
According to the Energy Strategy 2050, hydropower plays an important role in the planned restructuring of power production in Switzerland – and has gained in importance as a reliable, "reserve energy". This is the finding of a National Fund study "Energieinfrastrukturen der Zukunft" (Energy Infrastructures of the Future). What's more: Solar energy has more potential than wind energy in Switzerland say the researchers from the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) and the University of Basel.
In the next decades, the Swiss power mix will become increasingly defined by renewable energies. This is the intention of the Energy Strategy 2050 adopted by Swiss voters. However, new renewable energies from wind and sun are strongly dependent on the weather. Could power demand be covered if it were cloudy, rainy, or windless? And, is the Swiss power grid equipped for these changes.
Researchers from the University of Basel and the ETH pursued this question in a Swiss National Fund project where they investigated the potential for renewable energies and whether supply security could be ensured.
More uncertainties – more reserves
In contrast to the nuclear power plants still in operation, solar energy and wind power cannot deliver uninterrupted base-load electricity, so that at times power demand would not be fully covered. In order to avoid such critical situations, grid operators must allocate sufficient reserve energy. The volume of available reserves is therefore an important key for reliable grid operation.
According to researchers' calculations, these reserves can be achieved with hydropower up until the year 2050. Hence, hydropower will continue to be a crucial factor for reliable power supply in Switzerland.
Supporting solar energy
The researchers also have clear answers on which renewable energies will play a significant role aside from hydropower – and it is solar energy. Solar outpaces wind power in important ways. In summary:
Solar energy is more easily available and predictable than wind power. This makes it possible to set aside smaller reserves in the case of shortages.
Solar energy is less expensive than wind power. In addition, the energy generated by solar panels on buildings can be used directly by households and companies. This frees up the power grid.
According to the study, solar panels covering a roof surface of approx. one million single family homes would have to be installed in order for solar energy to make a decisive contribution to the future power mix. The largest space for these types of installations is in Western Switzerland, particularly Geneva, Lausanne and Berne.
To support solar energy, building laws would have to be adapted accordingly. Policy-makers must ensure that these laws are formulated to promote the installation of solar panels on roofs.
More on the National Fund study
Intelligent power grid
The energy turnaround will change power generation in Switzerland and also presents new challenges for the power grid. Can the grid even handle the large volumes of renewable energies from wind and sun?
Yes, say researchers from the Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL). However, today the Swiss power grid is not designed to cope with the anticipated strong fluctuations. The gird must be adapted to prevent power peaks that can result in line overload and jeopardise power supply stability.
They have developed an intelligent system to equip power grids for fluctuating power production from solar energy and wind power:
A building on the EPFL campus demonstrates how inert loads can be used to balance out power fluctuations.
The new system enables local grid areas to regulate fluctuations autonomously and, at the same time, contribute to the stability of the entire power grid.
