NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING
An informal public meeting will be held on
Thursday, October 11th at 7 pm at St. George's Church Hall, 52 Nepean Street, Sydney
to discuss the possibility of amending the Secondary Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw for Sydney's North End.
Specifically, the discussion will focus on the possibility of allowing St. George's Church Hall to be repurposed as the location of a microbrewery cidery and a cidery "tasting room". The current policies of the North End Planning Strategy do not allow for such a use in that location. For that reason, the policies must be amended if the proposed cidery is to proceed. Please note that is proposed that the cidery be located only in the building currently used as a church hall; St. George's Church itself is not part of this proposal.
At the meeting, CBRM staff will outline the current policies in the North End Secondary Planning Strategy and the North End Vision as developed by the residents and approved by Council in 2006. The proponent of the cidery will also be making a presentation on the proposed development and will be available to answer questions from residents.
Please note that this is an informal public meeting to discuss the possibility of pursuing the changes referenced above. No decisions will be made by Council on this matter until after the public consultation process has been completed.
All interested residents and property owners are encouraged to attend the meeting and to participate in the discussion.

Possible mad cow finding threatens Oklahoma ranchers
Thursday, December 25th 2003, 12:00 am
Rancher John Bulling signed contracts Tuesday morning to store 15,000 head of cattle on his 6,000-acre ranch near Orlando in northern Oklahoma.
Just hours later, news broke that the United States' first suspected case of mad cow disease was discovered in Washington state.
``We got those taken care of just in the nick of time,'' Bulling said. ``Those contracts are already signed so we're in good shape.''
Other Oklahoma ranchers, especially those who had hopes of marketing their cattle soon to take advantage of the recent high prices, won't be so lucky.
With mad cow, the strong market in U.S. beef that finally brought some prosperity to Oklahoma cattlemen after seven years of depressed prices now appears vulnerable.
February live cattle dropped the limit, $1.50 cents, to 89.17 cents per pound at the Chicago Board of Trade Wednesday, the first day of beef futures trading since the potential mad cow discovery was made public.
``We were enjoying higher than usual prices,'' said Scott Dewald, executive vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association. ``This is going to impede that. We'd be fooling ourselves to say anything else.''
Eleven countries, including key importers Japan, South Korea and Mexico, have banned importation of U.S. beef. U.S. producers export about 9 percent of their production.
Losing the import market will probably decrease prices by about 12 percent to 13 percent, from the low 90 cents per pound to about 80 cents, said Derrel Peel, an agricultural economist at Oklahoma State University.
``The other 91 percent of the market is the U.S. market,'' Peel said. ``The bigger concern and unknown at this time is to what extent do we see significant reaction in the U.S. There's no way to predict it.''
Agricultural officials sought Wednesday to reassure a wary public that beef remains safe. Cattlemen feared that a public warming up to beef as part of popular high-protein diets would return to eating mostly chicken.
``Don't panic,'' advised Earl Cinnamon, a beef producer and buyer in Hunter in Garfield County. ``We've still got the safest and cheapest meat in the world ... Go eat a steak.''
Cinnamon had been considering taking some of his cattle to market to take advantage of the boom. Now, he'll likely keep those with the rest of his heard on the wheat pasture.
``It's hard telling,'' he said. ``We didn't have our market plans ready, but we've got some cattle in the feed yard that were getting close.''
The timing, however, could serve to lessen the expected market shock.
Most ranchers have their herds on wheat pasture and will have them there for another six or eight months, officials said. If the potential mad cow discovery proves to be isolated, the effects should be long over by the time that beef is taken to market.
Also, the holidays will limit short-term trading in the commodities markets and reduce public fear, Peel said. The Board of Trade, closed Thursday for Christmas, had a short day Wednesday and will again Friday. Most people are traveling and likely won't fully digest the mad cow news for days, Peel said.
``It will really be next Monday before financial markets, both the commodities and the general equity markets, react to this,'' he said. ``It gives people more time to get past the initial emotional reaction and for more facts to be made public.''
Still, the news comes just as many Oklahoma ranchers, many of whom had to shut down or sell out during the industry recession, were beginning to make real headway.
``We had some guys making some good money and catching up on some bills,'' said Justin Barr, a rancher and extension educator at the cattlemen's association Ellis County office in Arnett.

A decline in functional status while awaiting liver transplantation is predictive of increased post-transplantation mortality

Background: Functional status (FS) is dynamic and changes over time. We examined how changes in FS while awaiting liver transplantation influence post-transplant outcomes. Methods: Data on adult liver transplants performed in the United States during the MELD era were obtained through September 2020. Patient and graft survival were compared between groups with no change or improved FS, and those with worsening FS. Results: Of the 90,210 transplant recipients included in the analysis, 39,193 (43%) had worsening FS, which was associated with longer waiting-list time (187 vs. 329 days, p < 0.001) and worse patient survival after liver transplant (1858 vs. 1727 days, p < 0.001). A consistent and dose-dependent relationship was observed for each 10-point decrease in Karnofsky Performance Score and post-transplant survival. Multivariable regression analysis confirmed that a decline in FS was associated with worse patient survival (HR 1.15, p < 0.001). Similar findings were observed for graft survival. Conclusion: A decline in FS on the waiting-list is associated with significantly greater post-liver transplant mortality in recipients. These results should be taken into consideration when allocating organs and determining transplant candidacy. Strategies to optimize FS prior to transplantation should be prioritized as even subtle decreases in FS are associated with inferior post-transplantation outcomes.

Publication Info. New York : Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press, [2016]
Yorkville PL Adult Biography - YKBB-4 B ANS AVAILABLE
Edition First edition.
Summary "Poignant, touching, and lively, this memoir of a woman who loses her mother and creates a new life for herself in Paris will speak to anyone who has lost a parent or reinvented themselves. Lisa Anselmo wrapped her entire life around her mother, a strong woman who was a defining force in her daughter's life--maybe too defining. When her mother dies from breast cancer, Lisa realizes she hadn't built a life of her own, and struggles to find her purpose. Who is she without her mother--and her mother's expectations? Desperate for answers, she reaches for a lifeline in the form of an apartment in Paris, refusing to play it safe for the first time. What starts out as a lurching act of survival sets Lisa on a course that reshapes her life in ways she never could have imagined. But how can you imagine a life bigger than anything you've ever known? In the vein of Eat, Pray, Love and Wild, My (Part-time) Paris Life a story is for anyone who's ever felt lost or hopeless, but still holds out hope of something more. This candid memoir explores one woman's search for peace and meaning, and how the ups and downs of expat life in Paris taught her to let go of fear, find self-worth, and create real, lasting happiness"-- Provided by publisher.

The food reviews are back!
First off Derek should of Congratulated Grillo on his engagement secondly we need more reviews.
Well looks like taco bell is pushing the boundaries once again. Taking a page from sister company kfc (double down which is still an all time favorite and I'm pissed they got rid of) taco bell made a shell out of chicken. It was a little pricey at $3.29 and looked a little small when opening it up. But man was it delicious. The chicken wasn't dried out which was a big fear of mine, but still cooked enough that it didn't taste rubbery. It had a decent seasoning on it and the ranch inside was icing on the cake. It's only around for a limited time so I suggest going out and getting a few right away!


Navy Federal asked us to get young adults to start saving. So we created Reward Your Boards, a feature that turns saving into a ritual by leveraging normal online behavior.
Reward Your Boards connects a member's Pinterest and bank accounts and turns their habit of pinning into a habit of saving.
Promoted pins and targeted banners will advertise the feature.
They lead to a landing page where members can sign up.
Once synced, the member's savings account will include their connected boards and show their savings progress.


We have decided its safe enough to mention the C word!

In the marketing world, proofreading is a crucial skill. Whether you're looking through a proposal, writing content for a site, or building an eBook, it's important to proofread your work with a fine tooth comb. The problem, often when you need to proofread something you glance through it without reading the content, or read over it but miss simple errors. I know a lot of people that just look for the red underlined words that Word highlights for you. One advanced technique is to use a text to speech reader. Fortunately for Mac users, there is one built in.

Until factories became the norm for working and had to be governed by bell or hooter and regimented for time, work was done when it needed to be done. I think Sam was more conscientious than others and he commends himself about this - giving himself verbal pats on the back about how well he is attending to business these days. Sam would have had no conditions of work contract: he did what he perceived had to be done within timeframes usually set by the comings and goings of the fleet. And just at the moment, things are rather fraught, thus the night hours. And Sunday working too.
"but this doesn't seem to be an issue for him" but it does he was looking for answers to his lack of vision under candlelight.
then comes Mr. Cocker to see me, and I discoursed with him about his writing and ability of sight, and how I shall do to get some glasse or other to helpe my eyes by candlelight; and he tells me he will bring me the helps he hath within a day or two, and shew me what he do..."
Lenses of eyeglasses are a great aid for those of us, like Pepys, with less-than-optimal vision, but it wouldn't be until "1752 [that] James Ayscough advertised his latest invention--spectacles with double hinged side pieces. These became extremely popular and appear more often than any other kind in paintings, prints, and caricatures of the period. "
"my mind coming to itself"
Interesting phrase alluding to what? Pepys contentment w/his non-idle hands pumping the iron of business to keep the unhealthful devil at bay. And a good workout today too, what with "busy all morning" at the office, lunch w/the Surgeon-General of the Fleet, a break in the afternoon, then "late at business".
Work Hours -> 'governed by ... hooter[s]' ?
Sure CGS remember will remember!
Today our clocks keep accurate time without need for winding or pulling chains. We are reminded of the time by radio and television. But it was not always like this. Before radio we relied on the church clock and on factory hooters, sirens and whistles. In Warsop one could hear no less than nine "pit blowers". The colliery steam whistles could be heard on the wind for more than five miles and they could be recognized by the subtle difference of tone and volume. Mansfield and Cresswell blowers could be heard but of course Welbeck, Warsop and Shirebrook were the loudest. Also there were Langwith, Sherwood, Thoresby, Ollerton and Clipstone collieries within earshot of Warsop.
Warsop Main colliery shift times were earlier than other local collieries and the Warsop whistle was the first to break the morning silence at five o'clock. Then there were time signals every half-hour until seven o'clock. Again at ten thirty, ten forty five and eleven o'clock, the blowers (or buzzers as some called them) would signal "snap time." This was when each colliery would close down for a fifteen-minute break. The blowers would sound again for the end of the Day shift at two o'clock, two thirty and three o'clock. Finally the blowers would call the night shift to work at 9 and 10pm.
So there was plenty of opportunity to adjust clocks and watches. Youngsters had less need for timepieces and there was no excuse for not knowing when it was time to be indoors. Most Warsop residents could recognise the blowers and they understood their timings. Farmers in the fields would check their pocket watches with the pit blowers, with knowledge that every colliery would be accurate to the second.
Locally in the Midlands the "bull" sounded the start and end of work time.
Isn't this the beau ideal of the Restoration-effortless accomplishment, at least as seen by lesser folk. Do the scut work under cover of darkness.
The end of the day shift at 2 PM or 3 PM allowed factory workers to tend their small farms and milk their cows at the end of the day. At a grain elevator where I once worked, the flour mill closed around 4 PM and most of the workers went home to tend their small farms.
I just came back from a big dairy farm in Owosso Michigan where 300 dairy cows are milked at 4:30 AM, 12 noon, and 10 PM by six brothers and two farm hands working in shifts.
Equally interesting that the Duke's (and fleet's?) surgeon, James Pierce had time to head off in the middle of the day, fetch his pretty wife, and spend the afternoon till evening "very pleasantly" with the Pepys.
Of course it was a planned occasion and it being Sam the "very pleasant" might well have been he and James hunkering down in Sam's closet to look over the fleet's victualling and medical supply figures while the ladies talked downstairs.
"my bringing in of callicos to oppose Young and Whistler."
In setting himself up as a competing contractor to sell calico to the navy, Pepys is doing something a rule forbids, as an L&M note to yesterday's entry points out. This conflict-of-interest biz will bite back; we will hear more of it on into next year.
Spoiler: Calico had been used for flags by the Spanish, but in the English climate, they will be found too heavy to fly.
There's a way to sabotage the enemy...Inferior flags.
"Right! Hoist our flags and signal we are to break the enemy line. What the...?!!"
"Sir?! The flags are all shred, sir! We've accidentally signalled half the fleet to expose their sterns to the Dutch!!"
"What's this?" Penn eyes flag strips fluttering to deck.
Just clarifying for the Tisotheenians among us -- "calico" refers here to a coarse-ish plain cotton fabric, something like what we Yanks call "muslin".
Sure CGS remember will remember! Hooters has a more modern meaning not a wake up call.
As for us clod hoppers, it be the lark or betsy the milk cow, [ye never upset her ladyship, other wise thee better kick the bucket before she got 'er 'oof to thee.] that would get us up at sunrise.
At the bottom of the street where my mother-in-law lived in Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent (pottery factories) there used to be a pot bank (local term for pottery factory). Although closed even when I first visited (1970s), there was still a huge bell on the outside wall to summon the local workers. Some people also used to employ a knockerer-upper (completely unrelated to the famous saggarmaker's bottom-knocker) to tap on the bedroom windows with a long pole.
Living next to and working at a university, my day is marked by bells from a clocktower every quarter hour from 7:45 a.m. to 8 p.m.
In Worsley village, [now part of Salford, in Greater Manchester] those in the know are constantly reminded of the region's industrial heritage by the presence of the Bridgewater Canal. Here, on its banks, you can see the The First Earl of Ellesmere's boatyard and dry dock which were both constructed in 1760 and are still frequented today by the many modern canal users.
Just behind these lies The Green which is now a very desirable address but was once a bustling industrial yard, so noisy in fact that the workers claimed they could not hear the clock chiming at the end of their lunch break. The Duke of Bridgewater kindly had it altered so that it chimed thirteen times instead of once. The clock is now in place in St Mark's Church.
"Prince Rupert is fallen into Lee Road."
Just too delicious not to discuss! ... I trust he didn't hurt his head. Fortunately "Jerome Collins MD writes to Pepys on Sept. 17, 1664 informing him that he (Collins) had been appointed surgeon to Prince Rupert by Charles II's 'positive orders', and would require special medicines: CSPD 1663-4, p. 11. (L&M footnote)"
Seriously, I have Googled and searched this encyclopedia section without success: I'm guessing the 'road' in this case is a protected holding spot for ships off Lee. Lee Essex, Lee Kent and Lee Sussex all seem to be people with exhaustive Facebook profiles. Given the time frame, Lee must be at the mouth of the Thames.
"Encloses a Commission for Captain Page."
Possibly Capt. Thomas Page, mentioned specifically once by Pepys in 1666?
According to Biographia Navalis. J. Charnock, 1794: after having commanded the Nightingale in 1661, the Pearl and Newcastle in 1664, the Bredah in 1666, the West Friezland (taken from the Dutch in 1667), and the Falcon in 1668, Page served as lieutenant of the Foresight in the same year.
In 1669 Page was, a second time, appointed captain of the Pearl. In 1672 he commanded the Wivenhoe pink, and the small vessels afloat at Sheerness. In 1673 he was made commander of the Francis. His name does not again occur.
"Prince Rupert has fallen into Lee Road."
Just West of Southend-on-Sea is Leigh-on-Sea. The areas close to the Leigh Channel leading into Leigh and Benfleet Creek are described on Admiralty charts as suitable for "small ship anchorage" and would be a good place for sheltering a ship or fleet with quick access to the Thames estuary; about 30nm to clear Margate and North Foreland. The ship would be anchored close enough to Leigh (about 2nm) for regular communication with London.
I have no information about the Prince's movements prior to this day so this location is only a suggestion.
"Prince Rupert has fallen into Lee Road"
I think "fallen in" is the military expression meaning "to take your place in the ranks".
Translation: Prince Rupert has taken his place amongst the fleet at Leigh Roads.
Thanks to Pedro for the wonderful writing about "pit blowers." I grew up in New Jersey where we would hear factory whistles at noon, but my parents grew up in coal country in Pennsylvania where they would have heard mine whistles such as the ones Pedro writes about. My paternal grandfather, great grandfather and uncles were coal miners. There were railroad whistles, too, a very lonely and nostalgic sound at night.
There are frequent reports in the U.K. now of people moving into towns and villages, complaining about chiming clocks and bells keeping them awake, and petitioning local councils and churches for them to be silenced at night. Longstanding local residents usually object. However, despite an outcry from British MPs, the Westminster chimes of Big Ben have just been silenced while restoration work is carried out over the next five years.
I've just had a look at my local Ordinance Survey Map. The bay north of Tenby Harbour is marked as "Tenby Roads". In the summer season most of the boats are moored here, rather than in the harbour itself.
(2) When the harbour is full, it's difficult to manoeuvre individual boats out of it.
So what's the point of the harbour, I hear you ask? Well, if on a fine evening one sees that the boats are in the harbour, and not moored in the bay, it means that south-easterly winds are forecast, or a storm is due. Although the roads give adequate protection from the prevailing westerlies, the harbour keeps the boats safe in really adverse conditions.
According to the OED, the use of "road" (or rode, rede etc) in the sense of a safe anchorage goes back to at least 1320. Today, the official nautical term is "roadstead".
I wonder whether the chine of beef was "rare" because it was unusual, or because it was lightly cooked? Rib beef is excellent when it's pink.
'rare, adj.2 < Originally a variant of rear adj.1 . .
1. Of meat, esp. beef: lightly cooked; underdone . . Formerly often regarded as an Americanism, . . although it was current in English writing from the 18th cent. and in many English dialects . .
'calico < Portuguese Qualecut (= calcutta) . .
. . 2. b. Now, in England, applied chiefly to plain white unprinted cotton cloth, bleached or unbleached (called in Scotland and U.S. cotton).
'road < Germanic . .
. . II. A place where ships ride.
3. a. Now usually in pl. A sheltered piece of water near the shore where vessels may lie at anchor in safety; a roadstead.


When it comes to achieving personal success or accumulating wealth in America, there is no one "set-in-stone" path. But the most accepted formula still seems to be: make excellent grades, earn a college degree, and climb the corporate ladder by outworking everyone around you.
In an ever-changing business world, however, some entrepreneurs say that traditional thinking is misguided and outdated – and that it can be self-limiting to those who buy into it and fall short of those standards.
"There's a lot of poisonous conventional wisdom we've heard all of our life, things that hold many great people back," says Daniel Ameduri (www.futuremoneytrends.com), co-founder of the Future Money Trends newsletter. "Much of what we're led to believe leads to success is really a collection of myths. And they become obstacles in our path when we feel we can't measure up.

Rhythm Pattern: Mastering "The Rake"
This is a Fingerstyle Latin guitar rhythm pattern. You'll find this whole thing much easier if you practice "the rake" ahead of time.
Important Tip: One thing that helped me the most to learn this and other rhythm patterns. I listened to the rhythm pattern over and over until it became clearly fixed in my mind. My hands begin to re-create what I heard in my mind.
This does take patience and focus. In addition to listening to the pattern the key is to re-create it in your mind. Listen to the pattern… Try to hear it in your head.
Then... listen to the pattern… Try to hear your head. I'm repeating this process over and over. The make sense?
Now I'll go ahead and explain what you're doing. Intellectualizing the pattern is a slow route to mastery, but it can help if you think it out in addition to listening and re-creating the pattern. That way you're coming at it from different ways. Just don't get caught up in thinking about it only.
To create the rake sound you pull your three fingers off the strings one after the other starting with the first finger. The first finger starts pulling off a little before the actual beat. The 3rd finger pulls off right on the beat. In other words you start the technique in anticipation of ending it right on the beat.
This rhythm pattern is a 4 beat pattern. Beat 1 is the bass note. The down beat of beat 2 is the rake. The upbeat of beat 2 is a solid chord... all fingers come off at the same time.
What I just described was the first 2 beats, or the 1st half of the pattern. Let's go on to the 2nd half.
On the downbeat of beat 3 you hit the bass note your thumb, then on the upbeat a solid chord. Same thing on beat 4... Downbeat hit the bass note, on the upbeat play a solid chord.
If you know bar chords you'll find this chord pattern fairly easy. If you haven't ventured into bar chords yet I'd recommend checking out my lesson How To Play Bar Chords With Ease And Grace. You'll avoid a lot of stress and bad habits by following a simple system like the one I outline in this free lesson.
I like to look for patterns in the song. I find it much more efficient to learn to recognize parts that repeat and parts that sound like complete phrases. In this case we're going to repeat that same phrase again. Once you've repeated it you'll I played 8 bars... That half of the tune.
It's going to the 2nd half. Will break that into 4 bar phrases as well.
Play one rhythm pattern of G, then one rhythm pattern of A minor. Repeat that. That's one phrase of 4 bars.
Notice there's a strong feeling with the E7 to go back to the beginning A minor chord. Make sure and download the cheatsheet which includes the entire chord progression so you can see all 16 bars laid out in order.
By recognizing the phrases and repeating patterns it will be easier to memorize this pattern and learn new progressions in the future.
Thanks for the delightful little progression. I went to download the chord progression cheat sheet. But it appears to the the A Minor scale from a previous session. Thought you would want to know so it could be fixed.
Looking forward to learning this!
Thanks Michael. I will get this fixed.
Thanks Tomas, I always enjoy your lessons, and really appreciate all the extras you provide.


See, I'm not so bad after all. I might want to see many many more executions than we have now but I am not eager to entirely ditch court procedure in order to get there.
See, this is what an actual war on drugs looks like. You know a war. With actual killing.
I approve. Not so much the killing per se, which is debatable. But a politician who actually means what they say? Unheard of in America.
There is some "actual killing" during our "war on drugs."


Kat was away on a trip last week. We do a daily meditation together in the evening, but we weren't able to do it together because of the trip, so instead we opted to do it via phone. I would put her on the speaker phone and then we'd do our meditation chant and afterwards meditate in silence. Each time we'd end our meditation at the same time, without any prompting from the other person.
What we both noticed was that despite the distance we felt like we were next to each other. Kat told me that even though she was in the hotel she could smell our house while we were doing the meditation. It was interesting me to because it showed that the daily work we were doing was creating a connection that carried across the distance. It likely helped that its easy for us to visualize each other and that we've been doing this daily meditation for a little while now, but it also speaks to the value of doing daily work with magical partners. It builds more of a connection between the two or more people doing the work.
I've done long distance workings in the past with other people, and what has always indicated the success of the long distance workings has been feeling the presence of the people I'm working with. If I feel their presence, I know I've connected with them, and we can always verify that by seeing if our reports are consistent with each other. If they are, then we know the magical work is happening across the distance.
First a caveat. I know the author and actually took classes from him in college.
This is is an intriguing book that explores the rhetoric of entheogens and how people discuss the experiences they've had with entheogens. The author interweaves his own narrative and experiences with the analysis he provides about entheogens. If you are interested in entheogens this book will be a good read that provides you some fascinating insights into the subculture around them. The author also bases a lot of his discussion around the works of Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, the McKenna brothers and other luminaries that have discussed entheogens in their own work. What I found particularly fascinating was the connected he made to Darwin's Theory of evolution and how work with the plants is a symbiotic relationship of evolution for both humans and plants.

Жуан Антунеш (; 30 сентября 1642, Брага, Португалия — 28 ноября 1712, Лиссабон) — португальский  и , один из крупнейших представителей архитектуры в стиле барокко в Португалии. Придворный архитектор короля Педро II. Автор ряда достопримечательностей португальской столицы, например — Национального Пантеона Санта-Энграсия (National Pantheon Santa Engrácia).

Жизнь и творчество
Родился в провинции Миньу, на крайнем севере страны. Архитектурно-художественное образование получил во время проведения работ по восстановлению дворца Рибейру. Наиболее известной его работой является начатое в 1682 году возведение собора Санта-Энграсия в Лиссабоне. Здание возведено в полном соответствии с канонами стиля барокко в архитектуре, в основании имеет форму греческого креста и белоснежный, как будто парящий в воздухе фасад. Среди других значительных сооружений, возведённых под руководством Жуана Антунеша, следует назвать лиссабонские церкви Сан-Элой (начало строительства в 1694 году, разрушена во время лиссабонского землетрясения в 1755 году) и Рождества Господня (Menino Deus, строительство велось в 1711—1737 годах). Эти сооружения имеют форму прямоугольников с загнутыми углами, то есть они восьмиугольные. Обе церкви были богато украшены плитами из итальянского мрамора и в своём дизайне указывают на значительное итальянское культурное влияние, имевшее место также и при португальском королевском дворе конца XVII — первой половины XVIII столетий. Также такая форма проектирования церковных зданий оказалась впоследствии весьма затребованной как в Португалии, так и в её заморских колониях, в том числе в Бразилии. В 1699 году мастер назначается на пост королевского архитектора.

Значительным событием в португальской архитектуре стало также строительство Антунешем в 1704 году церкви Господа Иисуса в Барселуше. Как и собор Санта-Энграсия, она имеет форму греческого креста, как бы вписанного в шестиугольник. Зодчий также занимался реставрацией святилища собора в родной ему Браге. Был автором многих алтарей в церквях и капеллах частных лиц (церковь св. Антония в Лиссабоне и капелла Лиссабонского собора — последняя была разрушена во время лиссабонского землетрясения 1755 года). Замечательным произведением искусства барокко является мраморный, украшенный королевскими гербами саркофаг принцессы Жуаны, португальской святой, находящийся при монастыре Иисуса в Авейру, изваянный Ж. Антунешем. В этой работе мастера также сильно влияние итальянского барокко. В 1693 году по проекту Ж. Антунеша в Лиссабоне строится Дворец Бенпоста (т. н. Дворец Королевы).

Minimum wage to rise in 21 states this week
The minimum wage will rise in 21 states in 2015, putting it above the federal pay floor in more than half the USA and highlighting the impact of a national movement to boost the earnings of low-paid workers.
The increases will lift the hourly wages of 2.4 million workers by up to $1 to an average of $8 and a high of $9.15, according to the Economic Policy Institute. The federal hourly minimum is $7.25.
Another 1.9 million workers are expected to benefit from a higher pay scale. The post-Christmas gifts will pump about $1.5 billion into the U.S. economy because low-wage workers tend to spend most of their paychecks, the liberal think tank estimates.
"It's not going to bring them a life of luxury, but it's a substantial amount of money for somebody struggling to get by," says EPI senior economic analyst David Cooper. "They can make payment plans for a car or buy some extra groceries. "
Four of the states — Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota — approved ballot initiatives in November to increase the minimum wage.
Eight states — Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia — passed legislation the last two years.
Minimum pay will rise more modestly in nine other states as a result of automatic cost-of-living increases. All of the increases will take effect Jan. 1, except in New York, where it will kick in a day earlier.
By early next year, 29 states with 60% of the U.S. work force will have minimum wages higher than the federal government's, according to EPI and the National Employment Law Project.
A bill, backed by President Obama, to raise the federal minimum to $10.10 an hour is stalled in Congress amid Republican opposition.
Cooper partly attributes the state action to nationwide strikes by fast food workers demanding raises to at least $15 an hour. Data from payroll processor ADP shows that state minimum wage hikes have helped bring low-wage workers faster earnings growth than higher-paid employees this year.
Critics, including the restaurant industry, say they force employers to hire less or cut employees' hours.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the retail giant won't raise prices because it "can absorb these costs."

Right angle gear boxes contain input shafts that are positioned perpendicularly to the output shafts. Right angle gear boxes, also referred to as right angle speed reducers, have up to 98 percent efficiency levels and are common in printing presses and glass cutting equipment.
Right angle gear boxes are just one subcategory of a vital piece of machinery. The gearbox, also known as a speed reducer or simple transmission, is what processes the energy from the engine to actually set in motion the parts of the machine, such as the blade or drill of a tool or the wheels of a vehicle. Two or more gears must be present and active to make this process work, and the two most important gears are the input and output gears. The input gear is attached to the engine itself, therefore dealing with the raw energy it puts out. The output gear is sometimes attached directly to the input gear and sometimes has other gears in between, depending on the gear reducer system. Either way, it is always attached to the part of the machine that will be moving. Right angle gear boxes are special because of the way they are set up, with the input gear attached to the output gear perpendicularly. Often made from steel, these gears also have a protective covering.
Right angle gear boxes have such high efficiency levels that they are therefore utilized by a wide variety of industries. Some of these industries include materials handling, automotive, aerospace, recreational, construction, food and beverage processing, oil and gas and textiles. Right angle gear boxes are used in a variety of applications, including use in automation equipment, conveyors, compressors, printing presses, pumps, compressors, generators and robotics. Remanufactured right angle gear boxes are commonly sold by manufacturers. These gear boxes often come at greatly reduced costs but may lack a warranty. When selecting a gear box, consider the gear ratio, efficiency requirements, mechanical rating, and thermal rating. The gear ratio is defined by the number of teeth in both of the gears involved in the process, and how much work the input gear must do before affecting the output gear. This ratio is how the gear box system is able to slow down the energy output of an engine while retaining or multiplying the amount of force put forth.

Basing our body image expectations on images seen in pop culture is much akin to chasing rainbows. The images do not represent a healthy or obtainable female form due to the overuse of photo editing tools, makeup and lighting tricks. The video depicting the creation of an "ideal" image for an advertisement details the transformation process from beginning to end. During the process, a healthy, attractive woman is transformed into a cartoon-like depiction with heavily skewed proportions.
Furthermore, beauty standards drastically differ from country to country. Trying to keep up with theses ideals is not only unrealistic, it's exhausting. If you must compare your body to others, try to find natural depictions of the female form without any alternations, including clothing and makeup. Fitted clothing and makeup tricks can hide or eliminate perceived imperfections to make the image look far more perfect than it really is.
Instead of chasing an ideal, the healthiest way to approach body image is to identify your own personal best. Identify a good weight number for your height and build, and then attempt to stick around that number. Improve your perception of yourself by learning unique ways to highlight your best features with jewelry, makeup and clothing to create your own personal transformation.

Self-worth of children and teenagers develops more positively than supposed

Researchers at the Institute of Psychology at the University of Bern have been able to show the development over the lifespan in a comprehensive study.
