Nevada official raises awareness of promissory note fraud
In recognition of the recent International Fraud Awareness Week, Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske is raising investor awareness of the risks associated with investments in promissory notes.
December 5, 2018 - 7:00 am
Horace Langford Jr. / Pahrump Valley Times - Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske takes a conference call from Sam Merlino in Tonopah during her visit to Pahrump on Friday, Jan. 20. Cegavske addressed voter registration fraud during her stop.
The Nevada Secretary of State Securities Division, like other state securities regulators, has identified promissory notes as a leading source of complaints to their agencies.
In fact, the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), of which the Nevada Securities Division is a member, reported 210 investigations involving promissory notes, which led to 149 formal enforcement actions by state securities regulators last year.
"Promissory notes may be attractive to investors as they may offer high rates of return," said Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske.
See more on pvtimes.com
"Investors need to understand that all investment carries some risk and that, even if the terms 'insured' or 'guaranteed payment' are utilized, risk exists."
In addition, investors should be cautious of short-term promissory notes, such as those with durations of nine months or less, as these notes generally do not require federal or state securities registration. Such short-term notes have been the source of some of the fraudulent activity involving promissory notes.
The full advisory regarding promissory notes is available on the Secretary of State's website here.
Contact the Nevada Securities Division at 702-486-2440 to see if an investment security is registered and if the person selling it is properly licensed.

20-20 World Cup
Watch: Sri Lanka…
Watch: Sri Lanka fielder's amazing effort to end Jos Buttler's innings in 20-20 World Cup 2022
England vs Sri Lanka (Image Credit: Twitter)
The ongoing game between England and Sri Lanka is vital for the Three Lions and Australia. Sri Lanka was already eliminated from the semis race by virtue of two losses and Afghanistan's loss to Australia. From the Aussie perspective, they need Lankan Lions to win the game as their Net Run Rate is poor while England carried a healthy NRR.
Meanwhile, by the looks of it, Australia is all but out of the tournament. Batting first, the 2014 winners had a great start but could only finish 141/8 at the end of the innings. In reply, the 2010 winners had a dream start as the likes of skipper Jos Buttler and Alex Hales put together 75 runs in just 7.2 overs for the first wicket. The former's innings ended with brilliance on the field.
Apparently, the England captain tried to slog the ball over the deep midwicket boundary. He couldn't connect the ball well and was caught by Chamika Karunaratne.
https://twitter.com/knowwayuno/status/1588839780103880705?s=20&t=kP1S277-7u8YP49klYvyIw
Talking further about the game, the wicket of Buttler has triggered a bit of a collapse. From 75/0, they slipped to 111/5. However, the Lankan bowlers haven't been able to assert their authority and have gotten wickets by the virtue of England batter's mistakes. At the time of writing, the Red Brigade has scored 121/5 in 16 overs, needing 21 runs to win.
The win is highly likely for England unless they badly collapse. Their Test skipper, Ben Stokes, and Sam Curran are taking the game along. With every runs, the chance of Australia's qualification is diminishing. If Australia gets eliminated (which is highly likely), they will continue the old tradition of the tournament. Apparently, no home team has won the 20-20 World Cup, and looks like Australia might carry the tradition.

There are several indications that the process of children's word-learning and the development of expertise are similar. These clues are found in both theoretical contentions and in prior intervention work. However several pieces of evidence were needed to make the link between lexical acquisition and expertise development explicit. The present research study provides that evidence. In a microgenetic study 4-year-old children were taught 450 new lexical items from three animal domains. Across 3 months children showed patterns of lexical learning that are similar to longer-term patterns of learning displayed by experts. Children also showed show evidence of increasing memory, perception, attention and abstraction- cognitive abilities that evidence advanced performance in experts and that are associated with increased domain knowledge. Finally the children showed evidence of characteristic patterns of behavior previously documented in experts. It is argued that children who are learning words can be thought of as developing lexical expertise or "lexpertise".

Q: How to show the last uploaded image when refresh page in PHP I have a application which is generating images with file_get_contents and file_put_contents method from a dynamic image source. After creating the image the image is uploaded to a directory on my server. The problem I face is every time the image is generated and I refresh the page I see the old image appear. It shows the new image when I clear the cache.
How could I solve the issue?
<?php
$imagename = "img".$id.".png";
$host = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

$path     = $host.'/url/path/img/'.$imagename;
if(file_exists($path)) {
    //echo 'File already exists in that directory';
    unlink($path);
    $filehandler =  file_get_contents($imgurl);
    file_put_contents($path, $filehandler);
}
else {
    $filehandler =  file_get_contents($imgurl);
    file_put_contents($path, $filehandler);
}

A: It would always be better to use version as query Param to all images, js and css files. Using timestamp will not be as good since it will not be shown from cache if image is not updated. So in order to avoid additional overhead use version of images
That is,
Initially

Till now next updation occurs this should be the URL
Once it is updated, it should change to

A: As the other answers already stated, simplest solution is to add a parameter to the image URL. To still leverage browser caching when the image is unchanged, you should not use a random value.
My recommendation is to use the modification time of the image file, e.g.
<img src="image.png?<?php filemtime('image.png'); ?>" />

This has the advantage, that you don't need to keep track of versions to increment a number or similar.

A: This can be solved by adding random parameters to the image src, as shown here. For example, turn this:

Into this:

In the second src, the numbers after the question mark are the current timestamp. This is demonstrated in this answer, which sets the timestamp in JavaScript and appends it to the src using Date.now().

Strange Phenomenon: Millions of animals, insects and birds are suddenly walking in circles around the world – no one knows why
Osbert Jordan November 27, 2022 4 min read
While experts struggle to find an explanation for the strange phenomenon, some attribute this strange behavior to disease, changes in the Earth's magnetic field, spoiled food, parasitic brain worms, and experiments in CERNpolar shift or rise in electromagnetic radiation.
endoftheamericandream.com Reports: In early November, a group of sheep in the north China He started walking in circles over and over.
continue Almost two weeksPictures of this behavior spread very quickly across various social media platforms…
A bizarre video captured on a Chinese farm shows a group of sheep running in circles for almost two weeks without stopping. This strange behavior has observers – and the sheep's owner – baffled as they try to determine what's behind it. The footage was taken earlier this month in northern China.
A closed-circuit camera at a local farm has captured hundreds of sheep walking clockwise through their pens. Not all of the animals join in at first, watching the action from the center of the herd before lining up with the rest of the herd.
Even our big company media has been talking about sheep in China, but in many cases they decided that It is a laughing matter🇧🇷
Hopefully, there is a very simple explanation for why the sheep have been running around for so long.
According to an expert Interview by NewsweekThis could simply be a case where the sheep felt very frustrated because they had been trapped for so long…
Matt Bell, professor and director of the Department of Agriculture at the University of Hartpury in Gloucester, England, shared one possible explanation.
"Sheep seem to be texted for long periods of time, and this can lead to stereotypical behaviour, with frequent walking in circles out of frustration with being controlled and limited. [para onde podem ir]🇧🇷 This is not good. Then the other sheep gather like herd animals and stick together or join their friends," Bell told Newsweek.
Maybe Bill was right.
But why do so many animals, insects and birds also circle the planet?
What we are witnessing is not limited to a group of sheep in northern China.
This seems to be something that happens all over the world and so we need an explanation that can explain this.
have found article Who blamed the fact that some pigeons in the UK were circulating as "zombie-like creatures" on a certain viral disease…
Animal experts say a viral disease has turned pigeons in the UK into zombie-like creatures, causing their necks to twist and walk in circles.
The disease is known as "pigeon paramyxovirus," we're told May affect pigeons, pigeons and poultry.🇧🇷
"There has been an increase in the number of stranded pigeons entering the JSPCA animal shelter in recent weeks, many showing neurological signs such as a twisting of the neck, spinning or an inability to stand upright," said the animal rescue team. The service is based in St. Hellyer, Jersey.
He said the disease appears to be pigeon paramyxovirus, which is described as "a perpetually fatal viral disease that can affect pigeons, doves and birds."
So this may be an explanation for why so many birds are turning, but it will not explain why so many sheep, chickens and insects are circling.
What we need is a theory that can explain everything we have witnessed.
Below, I have shared several videos purporting to document this phenomenon. As you can see, there definitely seems to be a lot of footage…

Perhaps this is all fuss about nothing.
Let's watch and see if this unwarranted behavior continues.
Without a doubt, we live in very strange times, and I think they will get even weirder soon.
Truth is stranger than fiction, and I think we will see things happen in the coming years that will surpass anything any science fiction author ever dreamed of.
So if you think things are crazy right now, hold on, because it won't be long before events on this planet start to get really weird.

Detroit Tigers mailbag: 2021, not 2020, is the right time for prospects' debuts
Anthony Fenech
In this week's Detroit Tigers mailbag, we'll get to the mail quicker than usual.
We've got the aftermath of last week's MLB draft, the owners still trying to get hundreds of millions of dollars from the players and oh, yes, that pandemic thing — let's see what we can find.
I know this: Baseball is at a standstill. A 65-game compromise seems likely, but nobody really knows, because the coronavirus may still have the final say. Some teams, likely including the Tigers, were planning on holding a second spring training at those facilities.
Now, the cases are rising in Florida and Arizona and Texas — exactly where MLB first thought they could play baseball months back. The optimism of Wednesday has turned to pessimismtwo days later — especially with multiple Phillies and Blue Jays testing positive — but I still think the two sides find a way to get something done. They have to, don't they?
To the mailbag:
Ronald, on Sunday: "Nick Castellanos was moved to third base by the Tigers, yea from shortstop, no real big deal. But, they then ruined him by shipping him out to the outfield. Nick was praised from day one of being a phenom with the bat.
"Now the Tigers have Spencer Torkelson, a first baseman, being mored (sic) to third base. Yea, I know, he's still in the infield, except, he's trading that "basket" a first baseman uses to field balls at his version of "the hot corner" to a conventional infielders glove and a whole new aspect of fielding.
"Maybe the Tigers should just move this kid to the outfield and get it over with for having to make adjustments in the field while concentrating on how to hit the ball at the Major League level."
I'll note that Castellanos is a good example, and add in that he didn't have the the pressure of being the No. 1 overall pick, either. I covered this, perhaps a bit too thoroughly, last week, but I thought it showed a lack of understanding of the moment. After waiting with the possibility of going first overall for a year, the kid finally hears his name called at 1-1 and the first thing he's answering questions about on ESPN is a new position. Make the move in the instructional league, or somewhere away from prying eyes. Actually, I'd just keep him at first and let him show up comfortably every day knowing he's going to rake.
[Willie Horton grew up in Detroit and lived out a dream as Tigers' first Black star]
Christine, on Thursday: "Been meaning to ask you, for a long time, if you are related to a Richard Fenech. He was a teacher of mine back in the day."
Christine, I am not related to Richard Fenech , nor am I related to Frank Fenech, the former head groundskeeper at Tiger Stadium.
Matt, on Thursday: "Major League Baseball is NOT baseball. Baseball is the game. The game is played on fields all over the country, by men, boys and girls of all ages. The sun is out, the grass is green, hotdogs and popcorn are in the air.
"No one gets paid $10k per pitch, cheats with steroids and no one sits in a private, air conditioned, catered luxury box paid for with tax dollars. I think you, as do I, love the game of baseball. The game. Major League Baseball does not. Not the players, not the owners.
"If I were you, I would stop covering the corporate feud between billionaires and millionaires and write about BASEBALL. It's going on all around us while the prima donnas and the aristocrats squabble over the loot."
What he said. It's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture during these times, but that's also what makes it frustrating — it appears those in decision-making roles have done so. Every day, I drive by a kid who can't stop throwing a baseball at a sock net down the street. What does that kid think about not being able to watch baseball this summer? It's good to see some local youth leagues starting up around town again. (And, of course, baseball is going on this afternoon at 3:30 p.m., as the Virtual Tigers take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 76 of the Virtual 2020 season.)
[ Tigers sign fourth-round pick Gage Workman ]
John, on Wednesday: "2021? I say let them play now. The fans deserve to see who we've been waiting for since we began the fire sale 3-4 years ago."
Hold your horses. But it's coming. This year's shortened season only reduces the number of games the Tigers can lose — they weren't going to be good in 2020. But next year? With right-handers Casey Mize and Matt Manning only a service-time-manipulating stop in Triple-A away fromtheir first full season in the big leagues? With Spencer Torkelson potentially ready by midseason or sooner?
The reduced amount of baseball this season — most notably in the minor leagues — should convince the Tigers enough to go for it in 2021, especially with a likely expanded playoff field of eight teams per league. I think they will, too.
This season, though? Too early for my tastes. The offense is still bad, and there's no need to waste the prospects' service time in a shortened season. The Tigers don't want to risk starting their win curve too soon, or suffering an injury to their top pitchers in a hcalendar year that has already put arms at risk by its herky-jerky nature, just to take a run at the playoffs in a season that will likely be swept into history's dustbin before too long.
The Tigers and their fans should be very happy with the way things have shaken out; they may be starting to get some breaks.

I bought an iPhone via phone and paid $30 for courier because a) value of item and b) holiday time constraints.
I received an email notification it's been sent via normal Australia Post packaging.
What are my rights here? In particular if it gets lost? Would David Jones be liable to send a replacement given they didn't send via the instructions?
Are you sure it's not star track?
Notifications for them come through aus post.
No. I checked via Aust Post Twitter.
Star track wouldn't take 3 days either.
Plus another day or two whilst they claim to have attempted delivery.
LOL. Star Track absolutely would take 3 days.
Well how would I tell?
It's def via Australia Post pacrcel service with signature.
Which DJs store did you order it from? If it was interstate e.g. you living in Melbourne and ordering it from Sydney, it definitely wouldn't go via Startrack.
Read my comment. DJs don't use Startrack to send stuff interstate; it's always normal post in that case. Best they can do is Express Post.
@kerfuffle: Yes but Australia Post owns and uses Star Track regulary to do their shipments and deliveries. I quite often have plants posted Australia post from Qld.to Adelaide that travel the entire distance with Star Track. I can't even remember the last time Australia Post delivered a parcel posted thru them to my address.
@coin saver: That doesn't mean OP's phone from DJs will be sent via StarTrack though.
Yeah I'd ask for your $30 back. No way would Adelaide Central Plaza be able to courier that out to you at store level.
Should probably mention that I know this as I used to work for DJs and part of my role involved logistics.
If it gets lost I presume it's on DJ?
What did they say when you called them?
Manager was going to call back. Still waiting.
Wait for the parcel to arrive.
In terms of your rights you have a right to a refund for the cost between postage cost and cost of the courier.
A goodwill gesture would be to refund the courier charge in full.
Did your phone come in time OP?

But no matter what he does, it's not enough for Kitty and Johnny, who keep pushing until even they are in over their heads.
A lot of Fritz Lang's American oeuvre is concentrated on the American justice system and various other crime related things, and this one is no different. Scarlet Street professes that nobody can ever 'get away with murder', and the fantastic climax to the movie shows this masterfully; much more so than many other films that have tried to convey the same message have. Scarlet Street is drenched with irony throughout (ironically, it took a non-American to make an ironic American film). This irony ensures that the film stays interesting, as the audience is never able to guess what's around the corner. Scarlet Street is another Fritz Lang masterpiece. While not as mind blowing as Metropolis or as powerful as M; Scarlet Street fills a niche all of it's own. I rate this film as a 'must see', and I can almost guarantee that you will not be disappointed after seeing it. - The_Void

NBA suspends Latrell Sprewell for attacking coach
On December 4, 1997, the National Basketball Association (NBA) suspends Latrell Sprewell, three-time All Star point guard for the Golden State Warriors, for one year after he attacked Warriors' coach P.J. Carlesimo. During practice on December 1, Sprewell had a verbal confrontation with Carlesimo when the coach told him to "put a little mustard" on a pass. When Carlesimo approached him, Sprewell grabbed the other man around the neck and began choking him, until he was pulled away by several other players and team officials. Told to leave practice, Sprewell returned within 20 minutes and threw a punch at Carlesimo before he was again pulled away.
Carlesimo, who was known for his aggressive and often confrontational coaching style, had a history of problems with Sprewell, having previously benched the guard–his team's leading scorer–after he was late to practice. The Warriors initially terminated Sprewell's contract, and his year-long suspension was the longest ever handed out by the NBA. After Sprewell pushed for arbitration, the sentence was later reduced to 68 games, a gap that still cost Sprewell some $6 million in wages. After Sprewell was reinstated, Golden State traded him to the New York Knicks, where he resumed his career in 1999 and was embraced by the fans as a rebellious antihero. Carlesimo was fired by Golden State early in the 1999 season after his team limped to a 6-21 start.
In July 2003, the Knicks traded Sprewell to the Minnesota Timberwolves. During his 13 seasons with the NBA, Sprewell racked up an average of 18.3 points per game, and helped lead the Timberwolves to a berth in the playoffs during the 2004-05 season, When the season ended, however, Sprewell rejected a three-year, $21 million extension offer from the Timberwolves. As of late 2007, he remained a free agent.

Teaching unions join growing list rejecting government pensions offer
Written by Tim Lezard for Union News
Tim Lezard, writiing on the Union News website reports that the two largest teaching unions have refused to sign up to the government's proposed changes to pensions.
Two teaching unions have today refused to sign up to the government's proposed changes to pensions.
In separate meetings this morning, senior members of the NASUWT and NUT said they could not agree with the proposals unless changes were made.
NASUWT general secretary Chris Keates said: "Put bluntly, our national executive has recognised that the process the Department of Education (DoE) used to seek to reach agreement by its imposed deadline of 20 December was a debacle.
"Valuable time was wasted by the DoE. It failed to provide the necessary information on which meaningful discussions could take place, chopped and changed its mind on the issues which were up for discussion and presented some potential changes which did not have Treasury approval.
"Unions were pressurised and threatened to sign up to a document when a final draft was not even available and even when a document was produced as the final meeting was breaking up, overnight the wording was changed unilaterally by the DoE.
"In these circumstances, it would have been completely irresponsible for the NASUWT to have signed-up to the Heads of Agreement."
Meanwhile, following a meeting of a senior committee of its executive, the NUT has called for further urgent discussions with government.
When the teacher unions met the DoE ministers before Christmas, the NUT reserved its position on the government's proposals. The union has now agreed to continue to pursue further changes to those proposals.
General secretary Christine Blower said: "We remain concerned about proposed increases in employee contributions and pension ages. We believe that increasing contributions at a time of real terms pay cuts will lead many teachers to opt out from pension provision and threaten the future of the Teachers' Pension Scheme. The NUT is also concerned that a large majority of teachers will not be able to work successfully in the classroom to age 68.
"The NUT is also committed to appealing against the High Court judgement on the government's change in pensions indexation. The High Court agreed with us that the government's decision was intended principally to save money, not to find a more appropriate method of indexation. The NUT will continue to press the courts to declare this decision unlawful."
The full NUT executive will meet on Thursday to take further decisions on how to progress the campaign to save teachers' pensions.
Christine Blower said: "We remain committed to a negotiated agreement on pensions but these proposals will not, in our opinion, serve the interests of teachers or the education system. Michael Gove assured us in December that sufficient time and resources would be provided to secure a solution. The government must face the fact that further discussions and additional funding are needed."
The sticking points for the NASUWT are:
the Heads of Agreement document is incomplete and lacks an appropriate assessment of the impact of the changes on teachers;
the manner in which the DoE conducted the process of seeking to reach agreement has been completely unsatisfactory;
critical issues of concern remain, including the contribution rates and the normal pension age.
Chris Keates said: "These are critical issues which have profound implications for teachers, for the profession and for the education service.
"The Secretary of State promised that he would ensure that the interests of teachers were protected and that he would devote all the time and resources necessary to ensure that every effort was made to reach an agreement.
"I will therefore be writing to the Secretary of State today requesting that he meets as a matter of urgency, with the NASUWT and the other unions which have reserved their position on signing the Heads of Agreement to discuss fully these concerns."

Sooooo . . . 20 months really flies by, huh!
Here's a brief recap of that time: we prepped our house to sell, listed it, sold it in 3 days, moved in with friends, moved across country to our new house. I was going to do a before/after for the whole house . . . and then got distracted!
We've been in this house for almost exactly a year now, and I finally decorated a room! This time I started with the boys room – it was time for Jelly Bean to finally get out of that crib and into a big boy bed.
Let's get to the good stuff: the pictures!
After! (if I was a professional blogger, the before pictures would probably be crummy, and the afters amazing. But I'm just a casual one, snaping pictures with my phone. But I cannot even express how happy this room makes me!
So here's what I did: painted the whole room Sherwin Williams Repose Gray.
Moved the furniture around so it fit better. Hung up a bunch of stuff. Sewed a quilt and a pillow(Buddy's is the same as the last house, I just made a second one for Jelly Bean) That's really it. It took me a year because we didn't want to go into debt for anything, so it took saving up for a while and then I'd buy one big thing. Or a couple of little ones.
Pictures are from pickyourplum.com, frames are the Fiskbo series from ikea.
Magnetic dart board is from bed bath and beyond.
I made the "you are my sunshine" sign above the closet door.
magnet boards next to the window were a dollar spot find at target months ago - they were super ugly, but a little paint helped that out!
I even attempted a couple of panoramic shots for you: we start at the door to the room, go clockwise around past the closet, window, dressers, bunk bed to end up at the same door.
So I didn't move at all numbers wise this week. But actually, that's really rather a victory for me.
My kiddos had 3 days off of school last week, so we went on a whirlwind trip to visit family. I wasn't great either. I had McDonalds twice (mmmmm bacon egg cheese biscuts for breakfast). I had a gloriosly greasy sandwich and cream soup. I discovered that my mom's awesome fudge is A. MAZE. ING if you schmear some peanut butter on top.
But with all of that, I broke even. Because I also was sensible for my regular breakfasts. I paid attention and stopped when I was feeling satisfied (I'm actually leaving food on my plate!). I let myself eat what I wanted, but never went overboard.
For me, this isn't just about loosing weight. I don't feel like I'm on a diet. I'm changing my life. I honestly plan on eating like this for the rest of my life. Granted, I won't always be activly trying to loose, so I'll add back in some points. But to get to the point that I know when to stop, that I can indulge but not regret it, that is just huge.
I haven't been below 200 since 2010. This is an ENORMOUS victory for me. It was a small actual loss this week, but the mental high of seeing a 1 first instead of a 2 is indescribable.
I've tried so many times to eat healthy, to get this weight off, to get moving, to do what I needed to be a healthy me. But it never really worked, mostly 'cause I would only stick with it for a couple of days. But this, this is the start of an actual life change. I will get healthy. I will get fit. and I will be awesome!
So we had to buy a new van.
I'm super excited/super frusterated about the whole thing. I've hated my old van for about a year. It was ALWAYS in the shop; I couldn't ever trust it. It had a lot of miles and was falling apart in places, and parts were getting really hard to find for it.
But it was paid off. It was all ours. I knew how to do everything with it. I didn't care about where I parked it because it didn't matter if it go scratched or dented or whatever.
Our new van is 7 years old, but has such low miles it's like it's only 2 years old. We got an amazing price on it. It has a rediculous number of extras on it. It has much more space inside so my kids don't hit each other.
But it means a signifigant car payment. And I don't know how to use all the extras. And I'm scared that I'll get in an accident or something.
I'm not really a fan of silver. Everyone has a silver car. I liked that my old van was unique; I could always pick it out. This one, not so much.
So I needed to change that. I asked for input on Face book. I googled (a LOT) for ideas. And I finally found MarkedCo on etsy.
Super fun, nice and quirky. Adorable ideas.
I asked her to customize something for me (just a little customize. It was something designed for a laptop, and I wanted it car sized). She was super easy to work with and got my stuff to me quickly.
And I made my mini van AWESOME.
This is on the rear passenger window. I think it's my new motto.
And wonders over to the back.
And ends with a tiny little wand as my fake wizard dissapears.
I love it. And I can find my van now. It makes me super happy!
I hit twenty pounds this week. I actually crossed the 20 pound mark! I kind of felt like I had a mental block against this number (which was my way of explaining why all my losses have been smaller for the last way too many weeks). But lots of prayers were said (man, I'm struggling remembering that again!), and I buckled down and had success.
I don't have a lot of hope for this next week. Those stupid pills are by my nightstand again, so I'm starting that whole pms thing again. But that's ok, even with set backs, I've still lots TWENTY POUNDS!!!!
If I loose even .2 this next week, I'll be on a new 10's place on my scale. And I'll see a number that hasn't been there for almost 4 years. Oh how thrilled I am about that idea!
I don't understand what happened this week. I was good (not perfect, but good) with my points. I didn't have any bad eating days, just regular ones. I don't understand how I could be up this week.
Especially after my emotional high of last week. I kept that in my mind all week did lots of praying, but still I'm up.
Hmmmm. I'm going to have to think about this one. Maybe it's just a fluke and I'll be down lots tomorrow?
Timing wise, I'm 3 months into this 6 month journey. And I'm not as skinny as I "should" be. But I'm a completely different size than I was in June. And that's a wonderful feeling. So I'll focus on that, and not the negative!
I've wanted to redo my kitchen since we moved it. Not a full gut or anything, just do some rearranging and a new color scheme.
And we finally got to start it!
I know, I know, it looks worse now than before. But it's a process, remember!
So we took out the two HUGE cabinets (I did the one, by myself, and moved it to by the dining table. That was nuts, but then you already knew I was). Then we had someone come and plum it for gas, plus run some different electrical for us. Then my new stove was delivered (fridgidare, gallery series, I'm in LURVE!) My Hubby and Dad hung up a couple of shelves, just so there's a place to stick the microwave until we get further down the road.
I'd like to take off the rest of the original wallpaper - in the words of my 9 year old "how did anyone ever think something so ugly was in style!". And tape/mud the drywall and fix the holes, and at least paint the silly wall. But we'll see. It might just have to wait for way down the line!
So here's the steps, and aprox dates for completion at this point.
3. New floors (wood? sheet vinyl? who knows) by Christmas/end of Jan ish.
6. replace backslash, paint, and make it all cute and finished: by spring 2016.
Like I said, the worlds slowest kitchen remodel. But that's ok - we're doing all of this as we have the money. And it will be great when it's done!


Suspense. Intrigue. Mystery. I love to read a good book or watch a good TV history program. Many use a symbol or group of symbols to illustrate their point. After all, they are powerful communication tools that have probably always existed.
Just stop and think for a moment about how many symbols you have seen today. Throughout the world, many symbols have instant recognition. No matter where we are, the peace symbol has meaning and stirs our emotion. We understand its meaning without explanation. We know the values and beliefs it stands for even without words.
Reverence and even passion may be elicited by symbols that express our values and beliefs. But symbols can also convey negative feelings: hate, anger, fear and insecurity. They can be used to give a sense of power, belonging, and to identify others who share the beliefs implicit in that symbol.
However, symbols can be identified with different meanings, so they must be evaluated in the context in which they are used. A motto or logo, is often used to more clearly express the meaning of the symbol or group of symbols.
Sometimes significant sets of symbols are misrepresented or skewed in their interpretation just to create a best-seller or TV program that grabs the attention of the reader or viewer. An example is the Great Seal of our country, which has had several myths and misinformation attached to it.
The Great Seal is made up of a significant set of symbols and mottoes that express the basic values and belief of our United States of America. It symbolizes who we are as a nation, how and why we came into being and what we stand for. I must admit, I was mostly unaware of this national treasure and how meaningful and complex it is.
As our developing nation fought for independence, the Continental Congress appointed a committee on July 4, 1776, to design the official emblem or a seal for the United States of America. This seal was to illustrate to the world, both then and now, the principles that were to create our new and independent nation.
If you have ever tried to come up with a logo that would truly express all that you are about -- your values, your dreams, your vision -- you know that this was no easy task.
The first committee was comprised of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
"E Pluribus Unum" was selected as the motto for the seal. This phrase would describe action "out of many, one." Franklin and Jefferson's depictions included scenes from the Old Testament and Adams' a painting of the "Judgment of Hercules." Even with the help of a prominent artist, their designs for the seal were rejected by Congress.
Two more committees tried to complete the task during the time of the Revolutionary War but no design was acceptable to Congress. In June 1782, Charles Thomson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, was given the responsibility to complete the design. He was able to visualize, unify and finalize the design of the seal.
By combining elements from the previous committees with images and mottoes of his own and other historical sources, a final design was completed in one week, submitted to the Continental Congress on June 20, 1782, and was officially adopted that same day. Its design has remained unchanged since. This two-sided design included only a page of explanatory notes; no drawing was submitted.
In September of that year, the first Great Seal die was cut and used to begin the peace process with England. It continues to be used as the official seal of our promise to other nations. Its two sides express the essential guiding principles our Founding Fathers knew the United States must always follow. Our struggle for independence is reflected in the design on the two sides of the seal as well as our future. Six years later, our Constitution would be written and approved.
"The shield is composed of thirteen stripes that represent the several states joined into one solid compact, supporting the chief which unites the whole and represents Congress. The stripes are kept closely united by the chief and the chief depends upon that union and the strength resulting from it.
"The motto E Pluribus Unum alludes to this union.
"The shield is born on the breast of an American Eagle without any other supporters to denote that the United States of America ought to rely on their own virtue.
"The olive branch and arrows denote the power of peace and war which is exclusively vested in Congress.
"The constellation of thirteen stars denotes a new state taking its place and rank among other sovereign powers.
"The pyramid signifies strength and duration.
"The Eye over it and the motto Annuit Coeptis allude to the many signal interpositions of providence in favor of the American cause.
"The date 1776 underneath is that of the Declaration of Independence and the words Novus Ordo Seclorum under it signify the beginning of the new American Era, which commences from that date."
As we learn more about the Great Seal of our country, we can only marvel at the wisdom of our founding fathers in selecting this emblem that sums up what our country is about. What does this mean to us today? Thomas Jefferson said it well. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
And a special thank-you to all our servicemen and women, past and present, who have sacrificed so much to preserve our American way of life and its essential principles that lead to peace, liberty and safety.
To learn more about the Great Seal, the State Department publishes an excellent overview in an 18-page pamphlet that is available at www.greatseal.com.

Vinyl Record Size and Dimensions
January 19, 2023 January 19, 2023 by Pablo
Vinyl Records are a type of phonograph record that is played by spinning the disc on a turntable. The Needle or stylus is placed in the groove and vibrates, sending sound waves through the stylus to the amplifier and speaker. Vinyl records were first introduced in 1948 and became the dominant format for music listening in the 1970s (skip straight to the vinyl record size charts).
They are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and can be played at a variety of speeds, including 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM, and 78 RPM. Vinyl records are considered to have a superior sound quality to digital formats like CDs and MP3s. They are also more durable than CDs and can be played hundreds of times without degradation. However, they are more susceptible to scratches and require special care when handling. Vinyl records are making a comeback in recent years as a result of the growing popularity of vintage music formats.

The most common size is the 12-inch album, which can hold up to an hour of music. This is the format that was used for most LPs released prior to the compact disc. The smaller 7-inch single is often used for singles and EPs, as well as some limited edition releases.
Finally, the 10-inch record is a middle ground between the two, and it's becoming increasingly popular for indie and alternative releases. With so many options to choose from, it's important to understand the differences before deciding which format is right for you.

Vinyl Record Sizes and Speeds | What does 33 – 45 – 78 RPM mean? by Electrohome
Does the size of the vinyl record matter?
Yes! In the world of vinyl records, size does matter. For example, larger records, sometimes known as 12-inch records, are generally considered to be of higher quality than smaller records. This is because they provide a wider surface area for the grooves, which results in a cleaner sound. In addition, 12-inch records are able to store more information than smaller records, allowing for longer playback times.
As a result, many audiophiles prefer 12-inch records for both their sound quality and their increased capacity. However, smaller records have their own advantages. They are easier to store and handle, and they are less likely to be damaged by mishandling. In addition, some people believe that smaller records provide a warmer sound due to their increased surface area to depth ratio.
Ultimately, the choice of record size is a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the sound quality of 12-inch records, while others find that smaller records are more convenient to use.
Vinyl record sizes The size of vinyl records over the years
The size of vinyl records has changed significantly over the more than 100 years they have been in existence. Early records were large, up to 30 inches in diameter, and were played at high speeds. This made them very fragile and prone to breaking. As technology improved, manufacturers began to experiment with different sizes and speeds.
In the 1930s, the standard size for records was reduced to 12 inches, and the playing speed was decreased to 78 revolutions per minute. This made records more durable and allowed for longer playing times. In the 1950s, the standard size was reduced again, this time to 7 inches. This allowed for even longer playing times and made records more portable. Today, vinyl records come in a variety of sizes, from 7 inches to 12 inches.
The most common size is still 12 inches, but there has been a resurgence in the popularity of smaller sizes in recent years.
What's the biggest vinyl record?
The biggest vinyl record ever made was an acetate disc measuring 1.3m in diameter. It was created by mixer George Martinson in 1977 and recorded the sounds of a volcanic eruption. The record was cut into two parts so that it could be played on a standard turntable.
However, it is not known how well the record actually played, as it has not been heard since its creation. There are also reports of a 2m vinyl record being produced in the early 1990s, but this has never been confirmed.
Despite their size, these records are still relatively small compared to the world's largest playable disc, which is a 10m vinyl disc that was created in 2014 by Ward Durrett. This record can only be played on a special turntable that has been designed specifically for it. As of yet, there are no plans to release this record commercially.
What's the smallest vinyl record?
The smallest record size is a 7-inch standard single. These records are usually reserved for singles, EPs, and other shorter releases. As the name suggests, 7-inch singles are just seven inches in diameter. They can hold around four minutes of music per side, making them well-suited for short, punchy tracks. While they're not as popular as 12-inch records, 7-inch singles still have a devoted following among record collectors and music fans.
Thanks to their small size, they're often seen as more intimate and personal than larger records. Plus, they're much easier to store and display! Whether you're a committed vinyl enthusiast or just getting started with collecting, it's worth seeking out some 7-inch singles. You might be surprised by how much you enjoy this unique format.
What is a 12-inch record called?
A 12-inch record is most commonly known as an LP or long-playing record. LP records were introduced in the early 1930s as a way to provide longer listening times than the existing 78 rpm records. LPs are made of vinyl and are played at a speed of 33⅓ revolutions per minute. They typically can hold up to about an hour of music per side.
Today, LP records are still manufactured, although they have largely been replaced by digital formats such as CDs and MP3s. For many music lovers, however, there is still nothing quite like the experience of listening to music on a vinyl record.
The warm sound and crackle of the needle on the record add a level of nostalgia and atmosphere that cannot be replicated by digital formats. Whether you are a seasoned audiophile or a curious music lover, there is something to be said for giving LP records a try.
What are the dimensions of a vinyl record sleeve?
The standard dimensions for a vinyl record sleeve are 12″ x 12″. However, there are also sleeves that are 10″ x 10″ or 7″ x 7″. The sleeve should be made of a sturdy material such as cardboard so that it can protect the record from damage. It is also important to make sure that the sleeve is not too tight so that the record can be easily removed.
The sleeve should also have a flap that covers the opening of the sleeve and can be folded over to close the sleeve. This will help to keep dust and dirt from getting on the record.
How do you tell if a vinyl record is a 33 or 45?
There are a couple of ways to tell if a vinyl record is a 33 or 45. First, you can look at the label on the record. If the label says "33" or "LP," it's a 33. If it says "45" or "EP," it's a 45. Another way to tell is by looking at the size of the hole in the center of the record.
A 33 has a large hole, while a 45 has a small hole. Finally, you can hold the record up to a light and look at the grooves. If they spiral in toward the center, it's a 33. If they're straight, it's a 45.
What is the difference between 33 45 and 78 vinyl records?
Each of these sizes is designed for a different purpose. The 33 vinyl records, also known as long-playing records, are the most common type. They are typically used for albums and can hold up to an hour of music. The 45 vinyl records, on the other hand, are smaller and can only hold around seven minutes of music. They are often used for singles or EP releases.
Finally, 78 vinyl records are the largest type of record. They can hold up to three minutes of music and were once the standard for music playback. However, they have since been replaced by 33 and 45 records. While each type of record has its own distinct benefits, all three can be enjoyed by collectors and music lovers alike.
How much does a standard vinyl record weigh?
Most standard records weigh between 120 and 140 grams. However, some specialty or limited edition records may weigh more or less than this. The weight of the vinyl is not the only factor that determines the sound quality of a record, but it is an important one.
Heavier vinyl tends to be less susceptible to warping and damage, making it a good choice for collectors and audiophiles alike.
In general, the thicker the vinyl, the better the sound quality will be. However, thicker records are also more expensive to produce, so they are not always available for purchase. If you are looking for high-quality sound, look for records that are at least 140 grams in weight.
These records will provide the best sound quality and durability, though they may cost more than standard records.
What is a good weight for vinyl?
Many experts believe that a vinyl record should ideally weigh between 120 and 140 grams. Depending on the type of record and the playback equipment being used, the ideal weight can vary considerably.
This range provides a good balance between durability and sound quality. Records that are too light may be more susceptible to damage, while those that are too heavy can cause premature wear on the playback equipment.
Is a 180-gram vinyl record good?
The answer is yes! 180-gram vinyl records are made with higher-quality materials, and they sound better as a result. The thicker vinyl helps to reduce surface noise, and the heavier weight ensures that the record will stay flat on the turntable, resulting in clearer sound.
In addition, 180-gram vinyl records are often pressed on higher-quality presses, which further improves sound quality.
Can you play all sizes of vinyl on the regular player?
Yes! You can play all sizes of vinyl records on a regular player by using an adapter. All you need is an adapter that fits the size of your record, and you're good to go. There are a few different types of adapters available, so be sure to check which one you need before purchasing.
With the right adapter, you'll be able to enjoy all sizes of vinyl records on your regular player.
What is the size of a size of vinyl record cover?
A standard vinyl record cover is about 12 inches by 12 inches. The cover is made of cardboard and has a paper sleeve that protects the record. The cover typically has artwork on the front, and the back may have information about the artist, the album, or the songs.
The cover also has a hole in the center so that it can be placed on a turntable. When closed, the cover should fit snugly around the record, protecting it from dust and dirt.
For many music lovers, the vinyl record is the ultimate format. The rich, warm sound of a record spinning on a turntable is unlike anything else, and the ritual of taking care of a record collection is its own kind of joy.
The fact that Vinyl records have been around for over a hundred years embodies their iconic stature among music lovers. We hope that you now have the facts about Vinyl Record size and dimensions and that with this help you will be able to find the perfect pick.

Q: How can I make a button that uploads a emoji to input box? So, I'm making a chatting app, and I was wondering how to make a button that uploads a GIF or an emoji to the html text box. Like in google hangouts, there is a button that is a little face, and when you click on it, you can select an emoji.

Is there any way to do that?

Matthew Is the Most Powerful Atlantic Hurricane in a Generation. Here's What You Need to Know.
UPDATE (October 7, 10:40 a.m.): According to NOAA's 10/7/16 8 a.m. EDT update, Hurricane Matthew currently has maximum sustained winds near 120 mph, and has been downgraded to a Category 3. Storm surge continues to be the main concern, with the deepest water occurring along the immediate coast in areas of onshore winds. There is still danger of life-threatening inundation along the Florida east coast, the Georgia coast, and the South Carolina coast. Learn more.
UPDATE (October 6, 7:55 p.m.): To help you evaluate the implications of Matthew's coming storm surge, my colleague and fellow climate scientist Brenda Ekwurzel has just published the post, Hurricane Matthew Storm Surge: How to Evaluate Its Potential Magnitude and Impacts.
UPDATE (October 6, 2:50 p.m.): According to the latest update from NOAA, Hurricane Matthew currently has maximum sustained winds near 140 mph, and has been upgraded to a Category 4 storm. While further strengthening is possible, it is expected to remain a Category 4 hurricane as it approaches the Florida coast.
One of the most serious issues with this hurricane is storm surge, which has caused terrible floods in Cuba, and even worse ones in the Bahamas. NOAA has restated the danger of life-threatening inundation during the next 36 hours along the coast from Deerfield Beach, Florida to Edisto Beach, South Carolina; and during the next 48 hours from north of Edisto Beach to South Santee River, South Carolina. Learn more.
UPDATE (October 5, 5:20 p.m.): The latest update from NOAA has new predictions for rainfall and storm surge and warns of the danger and possibility of life-threatening inundation during the next 36 hours along the Florida east coast from Deerfield Beach to the Flagler/Volusia county line, and during the next 48 hours from north of the Flagler/Volusia county line to the Savannah River.

But even as we watch disaster grip Haiti, reports are beginning to flow of a potential U.S. East Coast landfall and mandatory evacuations. Our coastal communities, while so well-resourced and resilient in comparison to Haiti, are still woefully unprepared for major storms. They now need to mobilize for Hurricane Matthew.
Through the fog of presidential politics that has enveloped the media, news of this storm is beginning to reach people and disrupt lives and plans. I for one was at the airport, ready to board a flight to Florida to participate in a climate conference, when I received the news that the conference was likely going to be canceled, and that I should not travel. This is how fast this storm developed.
Matthew turned from a tropical storm into a Category 5 hurricane in just 36 hours, mainly fueled by warmer than average waters. According to Climate Signals, as of October 3, Matthew was the longest-lived Category 4-5 hurricane and had generated the most Accumulated Cyclone Energy (or ACE, a measurement that expresses the activity and destructive potential of individual tropical cyclones and entire tropical cyclone seasons) in the eastern Caribbean of any Atlantic hurricane on record.
Cuba is also in high alert, and a 10 to 15-foot storm surge is expected in the Bahamas, where the average elevation appears to be less than 15 feet.
Storm surge will build as the hurricane approaches land and drives water ashore. Forecasts are still preliminary given the uncertainty of the precise storm track, but suggest that coastal areas in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas will see flooding greater than 1 foot and greater than 3 feet in some places. Check here for the latest updates and forecasts.
UPDATE (October 7, 10:40 a.m.): According to NOAA's 10/7/16 8AM EDT update, Hurricane Matthew currently has maximum sustained winds near 120 mph, and has been downgraded to a Category 3. It is expected to remain a Category 3 hurricane as it moves up the Florida coast, with some weakening forecast. The center of the storm will be near or over the coast of Florida most of today, and near or over the coast of Georgia and South Carolina on Saturday.
Hurricane and/or tropical storm conditions are expected to continue in Florida during the next several hours, and in Georgia and South Carolina Friday night into Saturday. Residents should look for local information and warnings.
There is still danger of life-threatening inundation during the next 36 hours along the Florida east coast, the Georgia coast, and the South Carolina coast from Jupiter Inlet, Florida, to South Santee River, South Carolina, and during the next 48 hours from north of South Santee River, South Carolina, to Cape Fear, North Carolina.
UPDATE (October 6, 2:50 p.m.): According to the latest update from NOAA, Hurricane Matthew currently has maximum sustained winds near 140 mph, and has been upgraded to a Category 4 storm. While further strengthening is possible, it is expected to remain a Category 4 hurricane while it approaches the Florida coast.
One of the most serious issues with this hurricane is storm surge, which has caused terrible floods in Cuba, and even worse ones in the Bahamas. NOAA has restated the danger of life-threatening inundation during the next 36 hours along the coast from Deerfield Beach, Florida to Edisto Beach, South Carolina; and during the next 48 hours from north of Edisto Beach to South Santee River, South Carolina.
In addition, NOAA warns of the likelihood of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in central and eastern Cuba, and the possibility of tornadoes along the Atlantic coastal area of north and central Florida tonight.
UPDATE (October 5, 5:15 p.m.): The latest update from NOAA states that hurricane Matthew currently has maximum sustained winds of 120mph, and that "some strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and Matthew is expected to remain at category 3 or stronger while it moves through the Bahamas and approaches the east coast of Florida".
It also warns of the possibility of a combination of storm surge and high tide, which would increase the actual flood levels, and highlights the danger and possibility of life-threatening inundation during the next 36 hours along the Florida east coast from Deerfield Beach to the Flagler/Volusia county line, and during the next 48 hours from north of the Flagler/Volusia county line to the Savannah River.
The combination of a dangerous storm surge and large and destructive waves could raise water levels well above normal tide levels. If the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide, the water could reach the following heights above ground.
With the hurricane forecast to stay just offshore some of the worst damage to Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina will be from the combination of storm surge and high surf, with waves of 20 feet or more possible on-top of storm surge of 2-5 feet, just ahead of the eye as the storm progresses to the north along the coast.
Interests from South Florida through North Carolina and the Outer Banks should stay abreast of forecast updates and be prepared to evacuate inland as the storm approaches.
and amazingly they will be the first to screech for federal money that they denied to the Hurricane Sandy victims in the north…..


Do you enjoy biographies? What about auto-biographies? With auto-biographies there's a real risk that the world being described by the writer is not the real world but instead the world which shows him or her in a good light. The world described may well attribute failure and evil to others for that same reason.
Does that apply to biographies as well? Not really. The problem with biographies is different. It's that the biographer may never really have been able to work out the motives of the person about whom they are writing. Are motives important for our understanding of people?
Look with me then at the incident above from Matthew's first century biography of Jesus the Anointed One. Immediately before, Jesus has been teaching that he must go to Jerusalem, must suffer many things from the political and religious establishment there, must be killed - and on the third day be raised.
Not only that but, in this 17th chapter of 28 in this biography, Jesus is teaching that his followers must all, similarly, deny self and take up a cross to do that.
What's the motive for that? What has made Jesus decide to allow those things to be done to him? What does Matthew the biographer say is driving Jesus to this willingness to die?
Matthew records this about motives. Apparently, Peter, one of Jesus' followers, challenges Jesus about this death idea. But Jesus ticks him off and tells him that his mindset is a man-centred one – whereas he should be setting his mind on the things – the ways – of God. Matthew has provided Jesus' motive for saying he must be killed. It's because this death is the mind of God.
Can that be right? Can it be true? Has Matthew got it wrong? Is Jesus' death on a cross God's idea?
Six days later Jesus takes with him Peter, James and John and climbs a high mountain with them. Up there he is metamorphosed before their eyes. He is transformed, his face shining like the sun, his clothes as white as light. Two ancient men join him there - Moses, who lived around 1300 BC and Elijah who lived around 800 BC.
Peter quickly responds. "This is really good, he says, if you wish I can make three dwellings for you here on this mountain. You could all dwell down here".
Was Peter's mindset still a man-centered one? Was he still thinking like a man? Should he not be setting his mind on the things – the ways – of God? Six days earlier Jesus has said that he must be killed in Jerusalem. Could Jesus ever dwell down here – even on the mountain?
Listen to him. Not to anyone else. Jesus then spoke - in actions and in words. Jesus came and held onto them, saying, "Rise up, and don't fear." He is teaching them what is his motivation – the persuasive (to him) reason why he must be killed. He had come to hold onto them, to cause them to rise, to bring them to the place of "no fear".
He didn't come to dwell on earth. He came so they could rise and dwell above. That was also the motivation of the voice from heaven.
