We are often asked, "What should I feed my puppy? What do you recommend?" I have always researched the dog food and looked at the first few ingredients, as I was told that these were the most important and meat should always be the first one. The guaranteed analysis was the next important criteria. We had been feeding NutriSource Dog Food but then we were introduced to Life's Abundance Dog Food. We were so impressed by the quality and high standards of this dog food and the amazing testimonials from the customers and field representatives of this company that we decided to switch to Life's Abundance Nutritional System and Agility Formula. Our mission Lake Sai Poodles is to improve the quality of the Standard Poodle Breed and offer our puppy families beautiful, healthy, and sweet-tempered puppies that they can enjoy for years to come.
This line of products was formulated by Dr. Jane Bicks, DVM. She has been a holistic vet for over 20 years. She has served as President of the American Veterinarian Association of New York City, earned three Presidential Citations, appointed by Mayor Rudolph Guliano to help establish one of the largest animal shelters in the world, the author of three books on responsible care and treatment of pets, and has appeared on 48 Hours, Good Morning America, CNN, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and more. Life's Abundance has also created a non-profit foundation where a percent of percent of all product purchases line is contributed toward rescue and care for pets.
Needless to say, I was pretty impressed. I learned that pet food was developed around World War II. It consisted of left-over grains that were rejected for human consumption. It was recognized very quickly that grains alone were not providing adequate nutrition, so protein was added, again with the source being rejected meat for human consumption; dead, diseased, dying, disabled, or drugged animals met the criteria.
Did you know that our pets genetically can live to be 20 years old, but the current average is 13-15? While many factors help the longevity of life – environment, health care, etc. nutrition is one of the most important factors.
Many of the ingredients in our pet food today causes a shorter life span due to the ingredients that cause stress on their kidney and liver functions which include; wheat, corn, and soy. These are also major allergens to our pets.
By-products such as chicken heads, duck bills, fish heads, chicken and turkey feet, bones and diseased & contaminated slaughterhouse meat can also be included in our pet foods! BHA, BHT, which harms our dog's liver and kidneys and are known carcinogens. As well as Ethoxyquin, which is used to stabilize rubber can also be used. All these chemicals are added to provide a longer shelf life, for months, even possibly a couple of years.
We are now feedings our dogs Life's Abundance Nutritional Grain Free Dog Food and Agility Formula and raising the puppies on this food supplements to help ensure a long and healthy life, as well as provide our puppies a healthy start.
Lake Sai Poodles believes SO strongly in Life's Abundance Dog Food & Supplements, that we offer a Lifetime Free Replacement Puppy on all of our Standard Poodle Puppies that are kept on Life's Abundance Nutritional Dog Food & Agility Formula when they don't reach their life expectancy of 10 years (life expectancy for Standard Poodle 10-12 years). Click here for more details.
While this dog food "seems" more expensive up front, the cost is about $.1.05 a day for a 50 pound adult dog. Americans spend more than that on their Starbuck's coffee every morning!!! You feed less dog food, but they receive more nutrition! They are able to digest and utilize the dog food more. And you are ensuring a long and healthy life for your pet when you feed them quality nutrition! Isn't your precious puppy worth it?


13.6- 13.7 The great elements, the Ahankara, the Buddhi and the Avyakta are substances that originate the Ksetra. The great elements are the earth, water, fire, air and ether. The Ahankara here means Bhutadi (primeval element). The Buddhi is called Mahat; the Avyakta is known as the Prakrti. The ten senses and the one and the five objects of senses are principles depending on the Ksetra. The five sensorial organs are ear, skin, eye, tongue and nose. The five motor organs are speech, hands, feet, and the organs of excretion and reproduction. These are the ten senses. The Manas is the additional one moe. The objects of the senses are five - sound, touch, form, taste and smell. Desire, hatred, pleasure and pain, being the transformation of the Ksetra, are said to be the modifications of the Ksetra. Though desire, hatred, pleasure and pain are the alities of the self, yet they originate from the association of the self with the Ksetra. Sri Krsna will state that they are the attributes of the self; In the experience of pleasure and pain, the self is said to be the cause (13.20). The combination of elements serves as the support (Adhrti) of the intelligent self. As such, the word Adhrti means substratum. The combination of material elements has arisen as the substratum for the self to experience pleasure and pain, and for aciring worldly experiences and the final release. The combination of elements is formed by substances commencing from the Prakrti and ending with the earth; it is the basis of senses which are endowed with the modifications of the nature of desire, hatred, pleasure and pain. These form a Sanghata or an association of elements. It serves as the basis of the experience of pleasure and pain by the individual self. This is what is said of the Ksetra. This Ksetra has been explained briefly with its modifications and effects. Now certain alities, the effects of the Ksetra, worthy of being acired as being the means for securing the knowledge of the self, are enumerated.


For commander I see it as a really great way of protecting against sorcery speed removal. The fact that you get to put the creature back into your hand means that it's not exposed to wraths. This coupled with the ability to put Ilharg, the Raze-Boar 3 cards down, means that the commander tax can be negated.
So with Sensei's Divining Top you'll always have access to him.
You can even use your own Oblivion Stone or Nevinyrral's Disk or Perilous Vault and just not commit anything but Ilharg, the Raze-Boar.
The thing is that you don't even need to be putting bombs into play with him, just getting some reusable value is fine, ala Solemn Simulacrum, Imperial Recruiter.., and use him more for the bounce back to hand.
Dream Pillager, Dragon Mage, Hellkite Tyrant, Bogardan Hellkite, Avatar of Slaughter, Balefire Dragon.
You can use Reality Scramble to basically make sure that you can get Ilharg, the Raze-Boar from the top cards of your library with some of your smaller creatures more quickly. The retrace on it makes it easy to just discard lands to keep putting him back into play.
So in EDH this and Combat Celebrant for funtimes?
Unfortunately, I think since Combat Celebrant enters the battlefield already attacking his exert ability will not trigger if I'm remembering the rules correctly.
Correct. Exert is a choice made when a creature is declared as an attacker. If they are put into play attacking you cannot exert.
He seems abusable with Lumbering Battlement to abuse ETBs in Standard.
This is how bacon is supposed to be !
Time to dust off ol' Tiresides.
Geez calm down pig jesus.
Notably emrakul's annihilator doesn't trigger with the pig so I doubt it will see serious modern play, but it is going to be one hell of a force in standard and commander.
THATS 21 DAMAGE ON TURN 2!!!
that's just too many moving parts. An emrakul on its own wins the game with anialator. I was thinking it would be good as an alternative to through the breach, but it is venerable to spot removal and your opponent can block out of it so the pig would need to survive combat. It's a really good card, but it's not something I want to cheat into play and it doesn't have an etb like prime time so I don't want to spend 5 mana on it.
It could turn out I'm wrong and it dodges enough removal that it can safely survive until your next turn, but I'm skeptical.
I see the standard using it with gishath, sun's avatar just for some quick swing in, search for more dinos, etc.
Eldrazi Ninjas - Summoning Octopus Jutsu YYYYAAAHHHH!
Master of Cruelties is the creature you want to cheat in.
Doesn't this give infinite attacks with Godo, bandit warlord?
Doesn't this give infinite attacks with Gondo?
No? Godo attacks, you get one extra combat, Godo goes back at your endstep. And even if it went back at the end of combat or something like that Ilharg isn't a Samurai so it wouldn't untap to get to attack again.
No? Godo attacks, you get one extra combat, Godo goes back at your endstep.
A. Crap, misread return to hand statement.
And Godo's attack trigger doesn't even happen because if he's cheated in on another attacker's attack declaration trigger he's never declared as an attacker himself.
Let the Orzhov sneer all they want at the Gruul-- their religion turned out to be right all along.
I'm now trying to count the number of cards that are about to skyrocket in price because of this guy.
And Godo's attack trigger doesn't even happen because if he's cheated in on another attack trigger he's never declared as an attacker.
Indeed. Thank you for the clarification.
Since it seems to have come up several times in this thread: "When ~ attacks" means the creature must be declared as an attacker during the declare attackers step, during Combat. Those triggers are put on the stack immediately after that step so creatures put into play attacking, like with Ilharg, are neither declared as an attacker or in play in time for their trigger to go on the stack.
Edit: BTW are none of you standard players looking to bring Ghalta in with Bigpig? I mean we're in a format with shocks and that's 18 damage.
Fun fact: since the creature enters the battlefield attacking, it bypasses not only extra costs like Ghostly Prison but even restrictions like Defender.
I assume that being a new object when it comes into play from ilharg the second time and after makes medomai never see the turn it's in as an extra?
Just to remark that it's possible to kill this and exile it from the graveyard in response to the trigger to get rid of it for good.
He just skips it by being put into play.
Glad I got a few foil copies years ago, it was obvious Medomai would break *someday*.
Medomai's ability only prevents it from being declared an attacker and being put into play gets around that. It's a new object but that wouldn't effect its ability.
Yes but only if the boar is a samurai, has vigilance,(there will not be more triggers for godo unless you keep returning hin to your hand, and again the boar needs vigilance or be a samurai)(actually he don't even trigger, right, lol) or you just make alot of copies of Godo and kill the oponent 3 damage each time.
It hits the mark flavor-wise, in that the Boar is bringing a lot of pain along with itself.
It hits the mark for casual play as well, because who doesn't like fatties?
Only downside is it's not Gruul colors, I have so many Durkwood Boars OG waiting for a master.
The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.

UK Government's Energy Bills Relief scheme welcomed by RHA
The Energy Bills Relief scheme introduced today the UK Government has been welcomed by the Road Haulage Association.

In an announcement made earlier today, the UK Government said its Energy Bill Relief Scheme would provide a discount on wholesale gas and electricity prices for all non-domestic customers (including all UK businesses, the voluntary sector like charities and the public sector such as schools and hospitals).
The support will be equivalent to the Energy Price Guarantee put in place for households.
The UK Government says the scheme will apply to fixed contracts agreed on or after 1 April 2022, as well as to deemed, variable and flexible tariffs and contracts. It will apply to energy usage from 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023, running for an initial 6 month period for all non-domestic energy users. The savings will be first seen in October bills, which are typically received in November.
Customers do not need to take action or apply to the scheme to access the support. Support (in the form of a p/kWh discount) will automatically be applied to bills.
"To administer support, the government has set a Supported Wholesale Price – expected to be £211 per MWh for electricity and £75 per MWh for gas, less than half the wholesale prices anticipated this winter – which is a discounted price per unit of gas and electricity. This is equivalent to the wholesale element of the Energy Price Guarantee for households. It includes the removal of green levies paid by non-domestic customers who receive support under the scheme," says the UK Government press release on the scheme.
Full details on the scheme can be found here on the UK Government website.
The RHA has welcomed the news, stressing that firms are struggling with energy costs on top of escalating fuel prices, combined with increasing wage and vehicle costs.
The association warns that without Government support, many face going out of business.
Commenting on the UK Government's Energy Bills Relief scheme, Richard Smith, RHA Managing Director, said:
"We welcome this measure which gives much-needed help to road transport businesses – the majority of which operate on low margins. As this support is in place for six months and prices are likely to remain high for many months, the industry will need support for a longer period to protect our supply chains. The announcement of a review on future support beyond six months is much needed, and we will be engaging closely with Government to ensure support is extended for the industry."

Q: Windows Phone 7 - Add alarm to default app? I suspect the answer to this is no, but is it possible to programmatically add alarms into the default alarm app on Windows Phone 7?
I'm hoping to avoid building a section of my app just to recreate the functionality in the existing app!

A: You can set alarms on the phone without having to use code of your own by using the Phone.scheduler namespace and initializing a new alarm instance.

Cheyne Matzenbacher, Roaring River State Park assistant manager, presented a PowerPoint on various activities and events at the park over the last year.
Thursday evening marked Roaring River State Park's annual informational meeting to offer the community details on the operation of the park for the year and make staff available to answer questions and get feedback. Staff presented information that showed a successful year for the park. Each year the informational meeting allows for the community to become more aware of what is happening at their local state park and voice their thoughts and opinions.
Meeting speakers included park manger Kerry Hays, concessions manager David Waugh, hatchery manager Paul Spurgeon and assistant park manager Cheyne Matzenbacher. In addition to information about Roaring River State Park, there was also a presentation about Big Sugar Creek Park. Plans are in the works to get Big Sugar Creek as a designated wilderness area in the future.
Focus during the meeting included flood damage to the park and clean-up efforts, the renovation of the CCC lodge, upcoming projects and hatchery production during the last year.
Hays said, "Even with the flood, two and a half days later, our park was reopened at 95 percent of what it was before. That's phenomenal." Hays credited the Missouri Department of Conservation with the bulk of the work in reopening the park.
Spurgeon discussed the success of both Kids' Fishing Day events this year, as well as hatchery production at the park. Hatchery statistics at the park showed a successful season. In 2014, each of the 251,400 trout stocked by the hatchery cost an average of $1.88 per fish, a drop of nine cents from 2013. The hatchery's goal is to stock 2.25 fish per angler at the park, and in 2014, they stocked 2.29 fish per angler. Last year', the park sold 109,608 tags, which was over 11,000 more than 2013.
The bulk of Thursday's meeting was Matzenbacher's presentation about all of the happenings at the park over the last year. He gave updates on the CCC Lodge renovation, which is slated for opening on Opening Day 2016. Other projects included reroofing the Emory Melton Inn and Conference Center, cabin renovations, FEMA concrete repairs at Campground 3, the bridge by the CCC Lodge and the Devil's Kitchen trail-head. The park also repaired the porch at the long barracks at Camp Smokey among a myriad of other repairs and smaller projects.
Next year, staff plans to continue cabin renovations, build a new shower house at Campground 2 and work on maintenance and repairs to the 91 different historic CCC sites throughout the park.


The Primary (children's Sunday School) organization wanted to celebrate this unique feature and bring the spirit of the temple to Singapore at the same time.
The Primary invited all the members of the ward to take a temple selfie on their travels.
Each Sunday during opening exercises the Primary leaders and children opened "mail" from members who had visited temples around the world.
We received more photos than we expected from our diligent ward members, from places such as Hawaii, California, Utah, Washington, Florida, Idaho, England, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia.
It brought such a great excitement and spirit to our Primary group. As a Primary presidency we desire for the children to have a relationship with the temples of God, but this is hard to do when your assigned temple is 1500 miles away!
Some of our Primary children were fortunate enough to visit temple grounds themselves this summer. They reported back on the peaceful, happy and joyous feelings they felt while they were there. There is a great and holy spirit that surrounds the Lord's holy temples and we were so pleased that we could capture that for our ward and our Primary children this year.


Motorists and pedestrians face serious injuries, possibly even death, from reckless drivers who fail to drive cautiously in West Palm Beach parking lots. If a careless driver harmed you or a loved one, you might be eligible to take legal action against the party who caused your injury and receive compensation.
The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can help you file a claim to pursue compensation for the losses you suffered in the parking lot accident. We fight hard to get our clients the justice and compensation they deserve because we understand the devastation an accident can cause accident victims and their families. To see how we can help you, call us today at 1-800-747-3733 for a free case evaluation with our parking lot accident lawyer in West Palm Beach, FL.
We can help you file an insurance claim as an option for pursuing compensation. To prevail in a claim means having to successfully prove fault for your accident and holding the at-fault party legally liable for your damages.
Whatever the reason, the goal of your personal injury lawyer in West Palm Beach is to establish fault and hold the responsible party liable for your injuries.
One crucial piece of evidence we obtain during accident investigations is a police report. Typically, police do not respond to minor fender-benders that occur in private parking lots. But, police will respond to parking lot accidents involving severe injuries, and crimes related to the crash. If police responded to your accident, we could use the report as evidence.
Recovering compensation in your case requires us to prove that the negligent actions of the at-fault party caused you harm. To do this, we must use the evidence we collected to show how the driver had a duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid creating a parking lot accident. However, the driver breached this duty and caused an accident. As a result of the driver's negligence, you suffered physical injuries and damages.
Negligent drivers place pedestrians at risk of suffering head injuries, internal injuries, and broken bones in parking lot accidents. It does not matter whether the vehicle is traveling at a low speed or backing out of a parking space, any contact with a pedestrian's body makes with a moving vehicle can cause serious injuries.
If you were a pedestrian injured in a parking lot accident and have auto insurance, you might use your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits to cover your medical expenses and lost wages. Florida requires drivers and vehicle owners to have at least $10,000 in PIP coverage.
If your PIP insurance does not cover all of your expenses or if you do not have PIP insurance, we can discuss the legal options available to you to recover compensation for you monetary losses and other damages.
Parking lot accidents tend to have the same issues as accidents that happen on a public road. The other driver, or the driver's auto insurance company, may claim that your actions contributed to the crash. For instance, at-fault drivers may blame pedestrians for crisscrossing through a row of vehicles and making it difficult for drivers to see them.
Our lawyers have years of experience countering challenges that auto insurers bring when our clients, motorists and pedestrians, file insurance claims. We also negotiate claims on behalf of our clients to ensure that they receive a fair settlement. Despite the challenges from the defendants, our goal is to help you recover the compensation you are entitled to for your injuries.
You may be entitled to pursue more compensation depending on the damages that you sustained in the accident.
Florida's statute of limitations gives you four years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit. Four years sounds like a long time, but once you factor in the time that it takes to collect evidence to build a strong case, the time passes quickly. So, the sooner you decide to file a claim, the sooner we can begin investigating your case.
You can rely on the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine to work hard to protect your rights and help you recover compensation for your parking lot accident. Call us today at 1-800-747-3733 to schedule a complimentary legal consultation with our parking lot accident lawyer in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The owner of the state's largest newspaper is facing a lawsuit from a former top editor and business partner. Tony Hopfinger, who headed the Alaska Dispatch News until last year, alleges publisher Alice Rogoff has failed to pay him what he's owed. The lawsuit hinges on differing interpretations of a million-dollar contract signed on a cocktail napkin.
Hopfinger is suing over two distinct but related issues.
"The big issue here is she still owes $900,000 and she didn't make the payment, so she breached the contract," Hopfinger said by phone Friday from his father's house in Chicago.
That "contract" is scribbled on a bar napkin — although Hopfinger says it actually came from a coffee table in a lawyer's office.
With a blue pen, Rogoff wrote, "I agree to pay Tony $100K at end (sic) of each calendar year (beginning '14) for 10 years." The napkin is dated April 18, 2014.
At the time, Hopfinger and Rogoff were partners in a startup news site, the Alaska Dispatch, which was preparing to buy the Anchorage Daily News for $34 million from the McClatchy Company. That merger created the media company Alaska Dispatch News.
According to the complaint filed Wednesday in Anchorage, Hopfinger began having doubts about the acquisition shortly after he and Rogoff first entered talks with McClatchy in September 2013. Hopfinger worried about the "dying print industry" and had reservations about Rogoff's plan to pursue new investors — including some he thought could bring conflicts of interest, like Anchorage developer John Rubini or McKinley Capital Management founder Robert Gillam. The two men have traded spots as the wealthiest residents in the state.
"I don't know if she had serious discussions with these individuals, but it made me uncomfortable to co-own with those folks," Hopfinger said.
He asked to be bought out of his small ownership interest, and Rogoff verbally agreed, according to the complaint. As weeks went on, no document spelling out the million dollar deal ever materialized — until the napkin.
What the million dollars actually bought is what's under dispute. Hopfinger says it's what he was owed for his share of the company. Rogoff's lawyer says it was essentially a bonus, on top of his salary as editor of the new ADN.
Hopfinger had a separate employment contract. It detailed his $190,000-a-year salary, duties, and conditions of release for a term of five years.
According to the complaint, he was paid the first $100,000 installment from the napkin agreement January 1, 2015. But less than a year later, Rogoff's lawyer told him there wouldn't be any more payments coming.
That led to an argument in a parking lot in December.
The two sides don't agree when exactly Hopfinger and ADN parted ways. It's nebulous how much he was actually involved in the paper at that point: months earlier he'd relocated to Chicago to take care of his brother and terminally ill mother. By the time of the December argument, he had remarried and appeared to have moved his life out of Alaska.
"Hopfinger did not live up to his promises and has remarried and permanently relocated to Chicago with no apparent plans to return or to provide support to the Alaska Dispatch News," the statement continues, arguing that because Hopfinger broke his employment contract, it nullified his loyalty to the business.
Even if the court does see a buyout instead of a bonus, it's not clear what company Hopfinger was actually selling a share of. He's listed in business records as a 5 percent owner of a limited liability company called Alaska Dispatch Publishing. But he has zero shares in a separate LLC called AK Publishing, a company owned entirely by Rogoff, and set up "unbeknownst to Hopfinger" (according to the complaint) six weeks before the merger.
That means if the court decides to follow the letter of the business license over the spirit of the cocktail napkin, Hopfinger may be entitled to 5 percent of a company that no longer holds any assets.


I have used Strategic Intervention for a number of years but only got around to complete my certification this month by Mark and Magali Peysha. The couple or c0-creators of SI together with Tony Robbins and Cloe Madanes.
Strategic Intervention (also known as SI) is a project dedicated to extracting the most practical and effective forms of strategic action and communication from a variety of disciplines: Ericksonian therapy, strategic family therapy, Human Needs Psychology, organizational psychology, neurolinguistics, psychology of influence, strategic studies, traditions of diplomacy and negotiation, and others.
It is the Art and Science of creating profound changes by means of small but strategic actions and decisions.
What distinguishes SI from other strategic studies is the belief that certain holistic solutions "snap into place" when we shift relationships, because people change the most when their relationships change.
Growth and contribution happen when more people's needs are met, expressed, and elevated. Change not only "sticks," but it goes on to positively influence other people.
Strategic Intervention originates with the understanding of the power of meaning to shape all aspects of a human being's life. It has been powerfully influenced by the great insights and works of Victor Frankl and Milton Erickson's creative breakthroughs in human intervention.
SI is also grounded in the work of the Gregory Bateson group at the Mental Research Institute, which in the late 1950′s originated the new paradigm of interactional and systemic studies, which became a watershed in the development of disciplines such as game theory, cybernetics, neurolinguistics, organizational psychology, management psychology, and dozens of other systemic disciplines.
SI encompasses strategies that span from the belief systems and emotional patterns within an individual, to individual relationships, to group dynamics, to organizational and cultural interventions.

Thornborough village was designated as a Conservation Area in 1971 and contains a number of Grade II listed buildings. The Conservation Area also protects a number of Views Out to ensure the original integrity and beauty of the village is retained.
Thornborough Parish Council is committed to protecting the Conservation Area and, while actively encouraging planning that enhances the local area, opposes development that would detract from the local area. For more information please see information at the Historic England website.
Thornborough Parish Council are concerned that any development of the Brookfield site which was recently sold at auction would threaten the Conservation Views, impinge on the Conservation area and increase the risk of flooding in the village, already prone to flooding from the two streams running through the centre of the village which converge in this area of land.
Please click here to view the letter sent by Thornborough Parish Council to Aylesbury Vale District Council Planning and Building Control regarding this area.
The latest planning applications, as hosted on the AVDC planning portal, are listed below.

2018 Jeep Cherokee Review
By Eric Peters , Automotive Columnist • August 18, 2018 • 0 Comments • Car Reviews, Eric Peters
Let's talk about a hybrid that makes some sense for once.
It's the 2019 Jeep Cherokee.
Wait. I know. It hasn't got electric motors — and the only battery it has is the one that starts its gasoline-burning engine. So what's all this talk about hybrids?
Well, the Jeep is a car-based crossover SUV — just like all the others.
To be specific, it's based on a front-wheel-drive car (just like the others). In the Jeep's case, the underthings are Fiat/Alfa's (Fiat owns Chrysler and Jeep) "compact wide" platform — the same basic platform which was used to make the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 as well as the Alfa Giulietta sedan.
Being based on a front-wheel-drive car is what defines a crossover SUV. It's what makes crossover SUVs space-efficient inside — because most of the bulk of the engine and transmission is hunched up sideways over the front wheels, where it's not intruding into the passenger compartment. Even when all-wheel-drive is added to the mix there's no massive solid rear axle (and heavy-duty rear suspension) protruding upwards into the passenger compartment — which allows more space for back seat leg and cargo room.
This, plus a more car-like ride (and handling) is what has made crossovers so appealing to so many people who like the looks, the roominess and versatility of a truck-based, traditional SUV but don't really want an SUV.
SUVs aren't as space efficient, because the engine is mounted front-to-back and does intrude into the passenger compartment, eating up interior space.
SUVs also have or offer heavy-duty four-wheel-drive systems, which means bulky two-speed transfer cases, rear axles and heavy-duty suspensions. These eat up more space and add more weight. Which is acceptable if you need the capability, but many people don't.
Hence the popularity of car-based crossover SUVs.
But what if you could have the practicality of a car-based crossover and the capability of a real-deal 4×4 in the same vehicle?
And yes, really.
This Jeep may be a car-based crossover SUV — but it can do most of the things a comparably-sized, truck-descended (or similarly designed) SUV can do. And things no other car-based crossover can.
That makes it my kind of hybrid.
Maybe yours, too.
The Cherokee is a medium-small, five-passenger crossover SUV in the same general class as models like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester, among many others.
But the Jeep can go places they can't — and do things they aren't capable of doing.
It can rock crawl — thanks to an available gear-reduction system that's functionally very similar to a 4×4 SUV's two-speed transfer case.
It can also tow.
Really tow.
As much as 4,500 lbs. — which is about 1,500 lbs. more than the next-strongest car-based crossovers can generally deal with and nearly as much as a truck-based SUV of the same size can handle.
Base price is $23,995 for the front-wheel-drive Latitude trim with 2.4 liter four cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic. You can opt for a big V6 — another thing most of its rivals don't offer — for $1,745 on top of that.
Or — new for 2019 — a high-performance 2.0 liter turbocharged four that makes more power than the V6 but gets better gas mileage than the base four.
It's available as an option in all but the base Latitude trim.
You can also go with one of two four-wheel-drive systems — Active Drive I and Active Drive II. The latter comes with low range gearing, a 51.2:1 crawl ratio and a mechanically locking (not electrically locking) rear differential.
Trailhawk versions — which are the most rugged ("trail rated") versions of the Cherokee — come standard with the Active Drive II system plus a locking differential, an extra inch of ground clearance, tow hooks, skid plates, 17-inch M/S-rated tires, fender flares and more aggressive approach and departure angles.
These start at $33,320 and come standard with the V6. The turbo four is optional.
A top-of-the-line luxury-themed Overland with Nappa leather trim, 19-inch wheels, the turbo four and the Active Drive II system stickers for $40,675.
In addition to the new 2.0 liter engine, the 2019 Cherokee gets a subtle but comprehensive exterior and interior styling makeover (details below) as well as some new features, including a hands-free power rear liftgate, updated UConnect infotainment system and apps with pinch/zoom touchscreen and a capless fuel-fill system.
Cargo capacity behind the back seats has been increased to 27 cubic feet, too. It was previously 24.6 cubic feet.
More than just another crossover SUV.
Behaves like a car on-road. But can go seriously off-road, too.
Pulls a serious load.
New turbo four does everything the V6 does except drink as much gas.
Still has about 10-12 cubic feet less cargo capacity behind its back seats than others in this class.
Obnoxious automatic stop/start system comes standard with the new turbo four and the V6.
LCD touchscreen's icons are small and sometimes hard to touch accurately.
The Cherokee gives you more choices — as well as more capability. Three engines to pick from — and three different drive types. Most of the crossovers in this class offer two at best — and in some cases (Toyota RAV4) just one take-it-or-leave-it engine.
Standard in the base Latitude, Latitude Plus and Limited trims is a 2.4 liter four making 180 hp and 171 ft.-lbs. of torque. This is very much par for the class. The RAV4, for example, comes standard with a 2.5 liter four that makes 176 hp; the Honda CR-V's standard 1.5 liter four (it's turbocharged) makes 190 hp.
What's not par for the class is that you can move up to a V6 — which neither the RAV4 nor the CR-V offer. It makes 271 hp and 239 ft.-lbs. of torque. Buy this engine and you can pull a trailer weighing up to 4,500 lbs. — which is three times the trailer either the Honda or the Toyota are rated to pull (1,500 lbs., max).
And there's a third option — the new-for-2019 2.0 liter turbocharged four cylinder. It makes 271 hp and 295 ft.-lbs. of torque. That's 56 more ft.-lbs. of torque than the V6 makes — and the four makes that torque lower in the powerband, at 3,000 RPM vs. 4,400 RPM. It does so by snugging the turbo as close to the exhaust ports of the cylinder head as possible, so as to build boost as quickly as possible.
It burns regular unleaded gas, too.
All three engines are paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission with a pretty aggressive 4.71 first gear to leverage the engine's power for a strong launch — with multiple overdrive gears higher up to drop the revs when you're cruising, in order to cut fuel consumption.
All three engines are not bad on gas — and certainly par for the class.
The base 2.4 liter four is capable of 22 city/31 highway (FWD models) which is right there with the FWD versions of the RAV4 (23 city, 30 highway) and CR-V (27, 33 highway) and others in this class.
But acceleration/capability with the available V6 — or the turbo four — outclasses others in this class. Without burning much more gas.
The V6 Cherokee with FWD rates 20 city, 29 highway — a difference without much distinction vs. the smaller (and much less powerful) 2.4 liter four, as well as rivals' fours.
And the Cherokee's new top-of-the-line turbo four is capable of 23 city, 31 highway for FWD versions — better mileage than the V6 and the base four and only slightly lower than the take-them-or-leave-them fours in rivals like the RAV4 and CR-V.
The Ford Escape offers a bit more underhood gumption than the RAV4 or the CR-V, if you buy its top-of-the-line 2.0 liter turbocharged four. But even so, it maxes out at 245 hp — well below the Cherokee's 270 hp — and the Ford (like the others) comes up very short when it comes to capability. It can tow more (3,500 lbs. with the turbo four) than the RAV4 and CR-V but it can't rock crawl — and isn't set up for serious off-road work.
All the crossovers in this class are available with light-duty all-wheel-drive systems, which mostly send power to the front wheels. They don't have driver-adjustable terrain modes or low-range gearing or locking differentials.
The Jeep does.
The first four-wheel drive system — Active Drive I — also features an automatic rear-axle disconnect system which lets the rear wheels freewheel (to reduce drag and so increase fuel efficiency) when traction is good and it's not necessary to power all four wheels. The Jeep is the only vehicle in this class that can completely decouple its rear axle.
You get the efficiency advantage of the FWD layout — with the "on-call" capability of 4WD.
For more capability, there's Active Drive II — which adds a two-speed Power Transfer Unit that works very much like a truck-type 4×4 SUV's two-speed transfer case; the difference is there's no separate center differential. Instead, the PTU mounts up front as part of the engine/transaxle and uses a planetary gearset to achieve the same effect. The system has a 4-Low range, just like a truck-type 4×4 system — with a mud-bogging 2.92:1 gear reduction ratio as well as a 51.2:1 ratio when rock crawl mode is selected.
It is also possible to disconnect all four wheels from the engine by engaging Neutral — which makes it possible to tow the Jeep behind an RV with all four wheels on the ground.
This is another functional feature unique to the Cherokee.
Hybrids make so much more sense than pure electric cars. No angst about short range — and long recharge times. You carry your recharger — the gas engine — with you. So you can refuel — and be back on the road in minutes. Yet you still use less fuel.
Similar sensibility here.
The Cherokee is as adroit on-road as it is capable off-road. It isn't clumsy in the curves. It doesn't lumber and sway. Part of the reason for this is its height-to-width ratio. It is relatively low-slung (66.2 inches tall) but proportionately very wide-tracked (73.2 inches), which is a stability enhancer.
For perspective, the less-capable RAV4 is 67.1 inches tall and only 72.6 inches wide. It feels top-heavier as a result, more like a 4×4 SUV in the curves than a crossover. But it can't cross over nearly as much as this Jeep can.
Another stability enhancer is balance. Which is a function of weight distribution.
Most crossovers — being based on FWD cars — are front-heavy. The weight of the engine/transaxle sits right over the front wheels — with not much weight behind the front wheels. Toss that into a decreasing radius curve at speed and the front end is prone to plowing toward the inside of the curve (chronic understeer) while the back end tends to lift and incline toward swinging wide during hard braking.
Neither are boons to stable, confident-feeling handling.
The Jeep — while also based on a platform shared with FWD cars — is better balanced. There's still more weight up front (58 percent for the FWD version) than would be the case if this were based on a rear-drive layout (engine front-to-back, transmission behind that — and a rear axle out back) there is a counterbalancing 42 percent spread out toward the rear.
That plus the wide stance and low height gives the Jeep a handling/stability edge over its rivals you'll notice right away both in the curves and at high speeds on the highway. It doesn't get knocked around by the wind as much and it's not necessary to keep a firm two-handed grip on the wheel to keep the thing on track.
Visibility is good, too — in part because the A pillars at either side of the Cherokee's windshield angle forward more steeply than most (to give the Jeep its sexy low-slung profile) and so do not obstruct the view to the side. This is a big problem in many new vehicles, not just new SUVs.
It's not a problem here.
Nor the view to the rear — another Unusual Thing. The Cherokee's back glass isn't too small and doesn't slope too sharply — so you can see what's behind you. The back-up camera is there if you want it, but you don't necessarily need it — as you do with some other vehicles.
Now add power.
The Cherokee — with the V6 or the new turbo four — is quick and fast, two things the CR-V and RAV4 are not.
The one thing you may not like is the automatic stop/start system — which Jeep bundles with the turbo four and the V6. You can turn it off — there's a button on the center stack — but you have to remember to do that every time you go for a drive. If you forget, the engine will automatically cut off when you come to a stop. It'll just as automatically re-start once you take your foot off the brake and press on the gas.
But many people do not like the engine stop-starting (including me) no matter how quickly or smoothly — because it's never as quick or as smooth as just leaving the engine running. Also, when you leave the engine running, there's no worry about wearing down the battery (or the engine) at a faster-than-normal rate on account of all that stopping and starting.
Don't blame Jeep, though. Blame Uncle. All car companies are adding this system to their vehicles to fractionally reduce gas consumption and — lately, they're talking this up in the press materials — as a way to reduce "carbon emissions."
The wide and low stance also looks good.
From the front, especially, the Cherokee remains the most distinctive-looking vehicle in the segment.
But you'll have to look closely to notice the changes to the look.
The basic shape is the same, but the 2019 is just under an inch longer overall (183.1 inches vs. 182.3 for the 2018) and the wheelbase has been lengthened just slightly to 106.4 inches from 106.3 previously.
Inside, the look is meaty and substantial — in keeping with the outside look. It's not just the steering wheel that's thick and meaty; the dash and door panels are, too. Even the shifter handle is meaty. It looks and feels manly and rugged — in keeping with the theme and the capabilities.
The only thing that's not substantial-feeling (or looking) are the icons for some of the functions on the UConnect touchscreen. These could definitely be improved by making them larger — and so easier to touch (especially if you're wearing gloves).
That aside, there's a lot to like here.
Including a much roomier back seat than several others in this class, including the RAV4 and Escape — which have only 37.2 inches and 37.3 inches of second row legroom (respectively) vs. 40.3 inches for the Jeep.
There is, however, one category of capability where the Jeep comes up short vs. pretty much every crossover in its size class:
Cargo room.
Though there is more room this year — 27 cubic feet behind the second row vs. 24.6 previously — that's still much less than the RAV4 (38.4 cubic feet) or the CR-V (39.2 cubic feet) or the Escape (34 cubic feet). Fold the Cherokee's second row and the space opens up to 54.7 cubic feet but that's still well below the Honda's cavernous 75.8 cubic feet with its second row down, the Toyota's 73.4 cubic feet and the Ford's 68 cubic feet.
And the reason for this has to do with the Jeep's much higher capabilities.
The additional gear for the additionally capable Active Drive system takes up additional room under the floorpans, leaving less room for cargo above the pans — very much like the "real" SUVs the Jeep so closely emulates, to the extent it almost is.
Jeep doesn't "up-sell" you.
Well, not much.
If you want the V6, for instance, you do not have to buy the more expensive Limited, Trailhawk or Overland trims. The turbo four is the only engine you can't buy in the lowest-cost Latitude trim.
Jeep also lets you buy the Active Drive I 4WD system with the base Latitude trim — and with the standard 2.4 liter engine. You don't have to buy the V6 before you're allowed to buy 4WD.
The most aggressive version of the Active Drive II system (with locking differential) is limited to the Trailhawk — but you'd only want that hard-core capability in something like the Trailhawk anyhow.
It's a shame, though, the Jeep can't sell you a diesel engine. It would be the perfect engine for a vehicle like this, whether on-road or off. Huge torque — and high mileage. Probably that's why a 2.0 liter turbodiesel engine is available in Europe (see here).
As for why it's not available here . . . ask Uncle.
This "hybrid" makes a lot more sense than some of the real ones.

Is Biblical Prophecy a Powerful Apologetic Tool?
Well, that is a subject I address in this teaching, "The Power of Prophecy." The Early Church apologists such as Tertullian, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus appealed to Biblical prophecy as a powerful evidence of the truth of the Scriptures and the Christian worldview.
- It's the only book in the world that has predicted history in advance.
- About 27% of the Scriptures are prophetic predictions of future events.
- The Scriptures contain about 1,000 predictions, and over 8,000 prophetic verses.
- The Bible is the only book in history to have 100% prophetic accuracy.
Watch this teaching, "The Power of Prophecy" and we hope it will give you a good understanding of why Revelation 19:10 tells us that the evidence of Jesus Christ is the reason we have prophecy.


To celebrate National Rum Day (August 16), I'm participating in the Captain Morgan® #CaptainRumDay challenge. I was asked to create an original cocktail recipe using Captain Morgan White Rum with at least two of eight unconventional ingredients that would arrive in a special delivery.
With so many flavor combination options, I didn't know which direction I should take. I asked myself, "What would Pam like?" You see, my good friend Pam was celebrating her birthday this week, so I had been thinking about her.
Every August, she takes an extended family vacation with her daughter and grand kids at this cozy lakefront house in Michigan. Pam's a vegetarian (mostly – except for bacon) and she really enjoys savory flavors. And while she likes dark chocolate, it's salty and crunchy – with a little bit of spice – that is her absolute favorite.
So I selected to work with three unconventional ingredients in this Captain Morgan #CaptainRumDay original cocktail challenge: bacon, potato chips and sriracha hot sauce.
I took a slice of a Michigan peach, marinated it in some sriracha. Then I combined Captain Morgan white rum with light cran-raspberry juice and a splash of light orange juice over ice in a shaker.
After pouring the cocktail in a martini glass, I dredged the peach slice in crushed potato chips and wrapped it in a slice of bacon. The perfect savory, salty and spicy garnish for a summery smooth drink.
And I've named it Pam's Summer Escape in honor of my friend, Pam. Cheers!
Marinate peach slice in sriracha sauce. Set aside.
Mix Captain Morgan White Rum, cranberry-raspberry juice and orange juice in a shaker over ice. Pour into martini glass.
Dredge peach slice in crushed potato chips, then wrap with bacon. Skewer and serve on the rim of the glass. Cheers!
Disclosure: I was given a free sample of Captain Morgan® White Rum and eight unconventional ingredients for use in this challenge. I get no additional benefits for talking about this product or company. All opinions about this product are 100% my own.

Our evaluation combined a technical usability assessment of the website with a broader remit to 'position' UNISDR's strategy to respond to future Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) needs and target audiences. The evaluation was based around a theory of change approach whereby PreventionWeb's objective to coordinate DRR knowledge and information was placed in the context of a higher order development outcome – the behavioural change expected of UNISDR's priority audience. We presented the evaluation's final report to the UNISDR Special Representative to the Secretary General for DRR in Geneva.


Wayne Munns and Carlos Pedro shared their 2012 Uganda Birding and Mountain Gorilla Trekking experiences with an attentive audience of 23 people. They showed us wonderful photos of birds (but not all of the 512 (!) species they saw there), gorillas, local people and places as they took us along their travel route around Uganda. Both being highly experienced international travelers, they had arranged the trip themselves and shared some of their planning information, sources and tips with us, including two important resources – The Natural History Book Service http://www.nhbs.com/ , and Cloudbirders http://www.cloudbirders.com/ . The multitude, diversity and beauty of birds amazed us and it was exciting to see pictures of a gorilla troop at home and munching on leaves in a thicket of nettles, a uniquely thrilling experience for Carlos and Wayne. Thanks to both for sharing their Uganda adventures with us.

What started with hardwoods grew to become wooden propellers powering the very first airplanes. Later, air movement was born out of a design to protect employees from fumes during manufacturing.
At Hartzell, we still have the same dedication to hard work and innovation that launched our company nearly 150 years ago. Six generations later, we're still family run. And as a Hartzell customer, you're part of that family.
Ohio has a long history of combining hard work with innovation, and Hartzell is proud of our role in that history. Our company's origins go back to John T. Hartzell, who in 1875 borrowed $25 from his uncle to start a business manufacturing wagons, and later a sawmill to supply the needed lumber. In 1900, the Hartzell Hardwood Company was born. Seventeen years later, we used our walnut lumber to craft the first wooden aircraft propellers, the beginnings of the Hartzel Walnut ropeller company. Hartzell Fan began in 1927, after seeing the need to improve the air quality for their own workers. The company engineered and built its first airfoil blade, more efficient than anything on the market. Our history is a history of American innovation and quality.
John T. Hartzell founded the sawmill business and began manufacturing farm wagons in Greenville, Ohio.
Hartzell Fan was established to improve air quality in their own facility, and in turn marketed that product to the general public. Hartzell engineered and built its first airfoil blade that was 20% more efficient than any other in the market.
As a founding member of AMCA, we created one of the first win tunnels to measure air and sound performance.
Developed the first all-fiberglass fans for industrial use, which provided a more chemical-resistant and lightweight material than metal.
Launched our Research and Development Laboratory and codified AMCA accreditation requirements for air and sound performance structural testing.
Introduced the only one-piece resin transfer FRP centrifugal wheel in the marketplace. This airfoil-shaped centrifugal wheel allows for higher efficiency and consistency for air and sound performance.
Hartzell's proprietary selection and configuration software is launched, enabling engineers and contractors to precisely configure the correct fans and blowers for their projects.
Now known as Hartzell Air Movement, we became a founding member of the AMCA, developed the first all-fiberglass fans, created an R&D Lab, developed proprietary configuration software, and more — all in the name of maximizing the durability, efficiency and safety of our products. The Hartzell Hardwood Company continues to thrive in Ohio and beyond — a global leader in producing premium walnut and oak lumber, with a focus on sustainability.

Snetzler Chamber Organ of 1761
Smithsonian Contributions Series
Smithsonian Contributions to History and Technology
Fesperman, John T.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5479/si.00810258.8.1
The chamber organ described in this booklet was acquired by the Division of Musical Instruments in 1968 from descendants of the original owner, Dr. Samuel Bard (1742-1821) of New York and Hyde Park. Signed and dated "John Snetzler fecit Londini 1761," it is both a fine example of the work of England's most famous eighteenth-century maker and a splendid musical artifact associated with one of New York's leading citizens of the Revolutionary period. Despite its age and travels, the instrument retained its original pipes, wind-chest and bellows, mechanical action, and mahagony case. Alterations by earlier repairers were for the most part minimal, making restoration relatively uncomplicated.
Of the five Snetzler organs known to have found their way to North America before the Revolution, this one, belonging to Dr. Bard, surgeon to George Washington and founder of the Medical School at King's College, New York, in 1767, is the only one still in existence with a traceable history.
After an introductory discussion of chamber organs and their uses, there follows a description of the Bard organ, its restoration to playing condition, and its historical context.

Aaron Gordon is a very good, very flawed, and very much unfinished college player. That makes him all the more fun to dream on at the next level.
Because they're so oversold, and so often so successful, everyone feels a little too much love or a little too much hate for Duke basketball. This makes it difficult to remember what suddenly appears clearer after March Madness subsides: that the Blue Devils, before they're a brand or a metaphor or anything else, are just a college basketball team.
His name is Chris Romine, he really believed in UConn, and he has thought a lot about Kevin Ollie. Congratulations to him on all that.
The first weekend of the NCAA Tournament is dramatic enough without anything more than sentiment riding the games. It's a purer madness with money on everything, and watching from Las Vegas.

Globe Telecom bags a Stevie Award for consumer advocacy campaign against telco monopoly!
Posted by Adrian Patrick Gemora October 25, 2012
Globe Telecom bagged a Stevie Award in the recently concluded 2012 International Business Awards
held last October 15 in Seoul, South Korea.
Globe Telecom recently won a Bronze Stevie Award in the Communications or PR Campaign of the Year - Issues Management category for its entry Rebirth of Telecom Monopoly: Globe Advocacy Campaign against anti-consumer implications of the PLDT-Digitel Merger. Globe is one of only four Philippine companies which competed against organizations from over 30 countries. More details after the jump.
The entry raised the issue of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company's (PLDT) acquisition of Digital Telecommunications Philippines (Digitel) and how the merger would affect the consumers. It can be recalled that Globe raised its opposition to the impact of the merger that "done so without any conditions, the nation will see the rebirth of PLDT's monopoly".
Globe launched a consumer advocacy campaign making its position known that it opposed giving PLDT the free hand to dictate pricing and kill the competitive spirit of the industry as a result of the merger.
According to Globe Corporate Communications Head Yoly Crisanto the award is an affirmation of the Company's advocacy "to help keep the playing field fair in the Philippine telco scene."
"By properly using PR tools, Globe Telecom was successful in raising awareness among critical industry stakeholders about the issue and advocate giving all players equal opportunities to compete in a hypercompetitive industry, proving that free enterprise and regulators can work well together in protecting consumer welfare," Crisanto said.
"Essentially, the real winner here is the Filipino consumer. In the end they are the ones who will benefit from consumer-friendly measures like landline interconnection, lowering of internet service rates and healthy competition for better services, promoted by our advocacy campaign," Crisanto said.
The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) approved PLDT's acquisition of Digitel after PLDT agreed to divest a portion of its frequency, among other conditions that the regulator set. The NTC also mandated the implementation of consumer-friendly measures like the landline interconnection of several provinces between PLDT and Globe, lowering of interconnection rates for voice and SMS, and the formulation of an IP peering policy to lower the cost of internet services.
"We are honored to be recognized for our consumer advocacy program and what we aspired to achieve," Crisanto added.
The International Business Awards touted as the 'Oscar Awards' of the business world, is the premier global business awards program created to honor and generate public recognition for the achievements and positive contributions of organizations and working people worldwide. Each year, The International Business Awards are judged by more than 200 executives around the world. This year's International Business Awards received entries from more than 50 nations and territories. Honorees were determined through two months of preliminary judging and two weeks of final judging.

Library hosts best-selling author Steven Rowley
Arts Arts News Rancho Santa Fe
by Christina Macone-Greene June 6, 2019 0310

RANCHO SANTA FE — On May 15, The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild in partnership with Warwick's in La Jolla hosted an author event featuring Steven Rowley at the Rancho Santa Fe Library. The New York Times bestselling author was quick to point out that his newest novel, "The Editor," is not a sequel to his first bestselling work, "Lily and the Octopus."
Before diving into "The Editor," Rowley shared that "Lily and the Octopus," a story he wrote which helped him wade through the grief of losing his beloved dog, was translated into 19 languages. Currently, "Lily and the Octopus" is being adapted into a feature film.
"I never imagined then that the book would go on to become a national bestseller," Rowley said.
When it was time to think of a crafting a second novel, Rowley thought of a story about a young writer who had written a very candidly autobiographical book about his own mother — and what might happen if that type of book spiraled a little bit out of the main character's control. While it was a good start, Rowley's instincts told him that the events he had in mind were not interesting enough to sustain a novel.
"I was looking for that sort of extra bit of magic much like 'Lily and the Octopus,'" he said. "I had remembered that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis had a career as a book editor. I didn't know a lot of details at the time, but I sort of thought well if she became the book's editor, then that would make it a much bigger deal than the young writer had ever intended."
The idea fueled Rowley to begin researching this period in Kennedy Onassis' life.
"She (Kennedy Onassis) had a remarkable career — this third act that we don't really think about," he said.
According to Rowley, Kennedy Onassis worked for 15 years as a book editor in New York. She worked for two years at Viking Press and then at Doubleday for the bulk of her career where she edited over 100 titles.
"She had a really prolific career as an editor, and it's not really amongst the first five things that we think about when we remember her — I actually think it's the most interesting time in her life," he said. "She had sublimated much of her own desires to her two marriages to the men in her life. And this was a time where she was putting herself first — it's hard to speak for someone else — but a lot of people think that this was the happiest time in her life, and it was very fascinating to research."
Rowley said he read a number of the books that Kennedy Onassis was editing at the time that his novel, "The Editor," took place in 1992. He explained that he forensically recreated her desk with the manuscripts which were it, including what other topics she was interested in at the time, as well as what other ideas may have been at the forefront of her mind.
"On top of that, I had a very supportive publisher who helped put me in touch with a lot of people who worked with her (Kennedy Onassis)," he said.
The people that Rowley spoke with were either retired from publishing or holding senior positions.
"They were all very generous with their memories of her," he said.
For Rowley, it was great fun trying to bring Kennedy Onassis' life working in publishing into a character in his novel.
"In 'The Editor,' you have a young man caught between this sort of flawed image of his mother and this sort of idealized aspirational picture of American motherhood that Jackie represented for a generation," he said.
Rowley said he worked to give Kennedy Onassis a real narrative purpose for the story, and by the end of the book, readers will discover the depth of her character.
A seasoned screenwriter, Rowley passed on adapting "Lily and the Octopus" into a screenplay but is serving as the producer. As for "The Editor," Rowley decided to adapt the manuscript into a screenplay.

Covid cases declining everywhere except in Europe: WHO
APPublished November 11, 2021

LONDON: The World Health Organisation reported on Wednesday that coronavirus deaths rose by 10pc in Europe in the past week, making it the only world region where both Covid-19 cases and deaths are steadily increasing. It was the sixth consecutive week that the virus has risen across the continent.
In its weekly report on the pandemic, the UN health agency said there were about 3.1 million new cases globally, about a 1pc increase from the previous week. Nearly two-thirds of the coronavirus infections — 1.9 million — were in Europe, where cases rose by 7pc.
The countries with the highest numbers of new cases worldwide were the United States, Russia, Britain, Turkey and Germany. The number of weekly Covid-19 deaths fell by about 4pc worldwide and declined in every region except Europe.
Out of the 61 countries WHO includes in its European region, which includes Russia and stretches to Central Asia, 42pc reported a jump in cases of at least 10pc in the last week.
In the Americas, WHO said that new weekly cases fell by 5pc and deaths declined by 14pc, with the highest numbers reported from the United States. On Tuesday, pharmaceutical company Pfizer asked the US Food and Drug Administration to authorise booster shots of coronavirus vaccines for all adults.
WHO has pleaded with countries not to administer more boosters until at least the end of the year; about 60 countries are actively rolling them out. In Southeast Asia and Africa, Covid-19 deaths declined by about a third, despite the lack of vaccines in those regions.
WHO's Europe director, Dr. Hans Kluge, said last week that Europe was once again back at the epicenter of the pandemic. He warned that if more actions weren't taken to stop Covid-19, the region could see another 500,000 deaths by February.

SA's Favourite Convenient Baby Food Expands Its Range
Squish launches convenient yoghurt pouches and jellies
Full Squish Range
Image Supplied by Rhodes Food Group
Popular baby and toddler food brand Squish, has launched exciting new fruit and veg yoghurt pureesand ready-to-eat jellies, adding to its popular 100%fruit and vegetable puree and 100% fruit and veg pressed juice ranges.
The addition of fruit and vegetable puree pouches with full cream yoghurt, as well as ready-to-eat fruit jellies, offers parents a wide range of meal and snacking solutions for all occasions to help them on their weaning journey, from starting solids right through to childhood.
The new range includes: four new yoghurt flavours, two new puree flavours, and four new ready-to-eat jellies. In addition, Squish has fourteen 100% fruit and veg puree combinations, and six pressed 100% fruit and veg infant and toddler juices to complete the range.
"We've seen a high conversion rate from jars to pouches, which offer a safe, more hygienic and convenient offering,"
says Merlin Norman, Marketing Manager at Rhodes Food Group.
"The latest extension of the Squish product range comes after identifying the opportunity to introduce a fruit and vegetable puree range combined with yoghurt to broaden our range."
She adds:
"Yoghurt is the second most popular infant food puree flavour and will provide parents with a great meal-time option to extend the weaning journey for their young ones as they start to introduce dairy into their diets."
"Like all our Squish products, the utmost care has been taken to ensure that we offer our consumers the best product possible,"
Norman explains.
"We do not compromise on ensuring that we use clean ingredients, and because we make most of the ingredients ourselves, we can control the quality of raw materials from the fields, right through to the end product."
"Our Squish yoghurts are made from 100% fruit and vegetables with double cream yoghurt, not yoghurt powder, which offers us a notable point of difference,"
she says.
"As with the rest of our range, our yoghurt purees are free from preservatives, colourants, flavouring and starch and come in four tasty flavours."
"We understand that parents want the best for their children, but they are often pressed for time,"
adds Norman.
"With Squish, they can feel confident in the knowledge that they are not compromising on the quality of ingredients, as if cooked at home in their own kitchens."
The introduction of the new four ready-to-eat jellies, offers a convenient snack or treat specifically made with toddlers and parents in mind. She points out that the difference with these jellies is that they are free from gelatine, colourants, flavourings and preservatives, and are made with fruit puree.
"We understand the weaning journey and we can offer parents a range of meal and snacking options that will help them on their way at every stage in the process,"
"Weaning is not a clinical process – we want to be a part of the special moments and the food journey, the mess and the fun, offering playful pack formats, products and convenient solutions to today's busy parents."
"The addition of rooibos to our new pear and peach puree, in our apple & grape juice, and in our new mango jelly shows our commitment to adding value to parents and innovating ahead of the curve."
The Squish range now comprises 30 product variants from 100% fruit, vegetable and purees, juices, ready-to-eat jellies, and fruit and veg purees with yoghurt, ensuring that parents find a range of convenient, quality products to help them on their weaning journey, from starting solids right through to 3 years plus.
The products are available nationwide at top end retail, wholesale and specialist chains – find the fruit & veg purees with yoghurt and the ready-to-eat jellies in the baby food section on shelf.

How Good Is Andrew's Estates - Little Sutton?
from Andrew's Estates - Little Sutton and 4 other top performing local agents.
Are Andrew's Estates - Little Sutton Right For You?
Andrew's Estates Little Sutton mainly list properties in CH66, CH65 and CH46. Over the last 6 months, they've listed 161 properties, with 32 currently on the market. Most of the properties listed have 3 bedrooms. They list properties for sale on Zoopla, Rightmove and OnTheMarket.
In the last 6 months, Andrew's Estates - Little Sutton have listed 161 properties. On average, they achieve 96.3% of the original asking price.
So disappointed. Trying to view flats with them for 10 days now. They have not rung me back once!!! I have rung them 4 times. They said manager would ring me today after I complained - nothing yet again. Rubbish customer service. Feel sorry for anyone trying to sell property with them. Why wouldn't you keep in touch with potential buyers????
Awful company I would not recommend them if you have a property to let or want to let a property. They charge landlords a fee and mess up their tenancy agreements. They falsely advertised properties and rental agreement. Staff are not helpful and have know urgency to get problems resolved. Don't waste your time or money on this company.
Did you use Andrew's Estates - Little Sutton?


This article is about the portrait. You may be looking for another individual with the same name.
Dan was a British wizard who had a portrait of himself hung somewhere in Hogwarts Castle by the 1991-1992 school year. Judging by the escutcheon he wore on his coat, Dan was affiliated with House Gryffindor during his lifetime.
This portrait appeared in the PC version of the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In the game files, it was identified as dan104.bmp.


This instructable will guide you through the parts and steps to control a Dc motor's speed and direction with the help of a dual H-Bridge L293D motor driver for arduino.
The motor driver has two channels which means that it can controll the direction of two Dc motors simultaneously.
Let me walk you through the parts required to do this...and then the steps with codes.
7) Computer with arduino IDE... I cannot provide link to this u know.
Step 4: Attach the L293D, Potentiometer and the Button Onto the Breadboard..
PIN9(Vss3.3v) -- 5v/// the pin says 3.3v but u can connect it to 5v also.
Step 6: That's It Your Done!!
Turn the potentiometer to control the speed of the motor and press the button to change the direction.
sir, can we select the value of speed in points..
how can we operate it in such a way that once the button is pressed it remains in reverse and if its pressed again it goes back to forward? and do we need to debounce the button for this case?
Feel free if u have some doubt.. i will try to clarify it..
sir why you used statusPin in the program? What is the use of that pin?
But you are not connected that pin to the arduino.
I am driving a 24V DC motor using arduino uno. No any special motor driver i am using.motor drives only by SPDT relay for more current requirement.but i can not control the speed of motor.so please tell me how i control the speed of motor using relay itself.or send me code of that.
I am using a 12v DC motor. I have completed the project with no electronics (relays, limit switches etc). I want to re-do the project using electronic components so that I can get more control over the working.
I read in some other place that if I use 12V motor, I need to use transistors, diodes and capacitors to manage the current without damaging the Arduino.
Can you confirm this and if possible, can you send me a connection diagram? Thanks.
Thanks Surya. I will check this out. Thanks for hour time.
Hello , I want to know how we can do it with out a switch. Can you give me any clue, please?
without switch and potentiometer ? or just without the switch ?
this program is correct or not?
u will execute this program?
