In a new wrinkle to the climate change discussion, it appears declines in the populations of fruit-eating birds and primates reduces new tree growth in rainforests. This could lead to reductions in tree reproduction and hasten the effects of climate change by lowering the amount of carbon dioxide the forests can absorb.
How Can Animal Extinction Make Climate Change Worse?
It appears fruit-eating primates and birds play a vitally important role in the dispersal of seeds necessary to ensure the healthy growth of new trees, according to the West Texas Daily. A recent study in Brazil's Atlantic Forest studied 2,000 tree species and 800 animal species to determine the effect declining animal populations have on forests, according to Science Daily. The study found that trees with large seeds need a significant population of fruit-eating primates and birds in order to propagate new generations. As numbers of these animals decrease, it is likely the numbers of these trees will also decrease.
In complex forest ecosystems, the loss of species diversity among trees can make a forest more susceptible to fires, drought and disease. Additionally, reduced tree populations lessen the amount of carbon dioxide forests draw from the atmosphere, which can contribute to an increased rate of climate change. Forest loss, from a variety of factors, is responsible for about 20 percent of global carbon emissions, according to the World Wildlife Federation.
Many tropical countries have policies that focus on slowing deforestation in forests, according to Professor Carlos Peres, as reported by Science Daily. However, these policies do not include programs to deal with loss of forests due to declines in populations of animals that spread tree seeds. Peres and other researchers hope their work can influence how the United Nations approaches forest preservation in relation to climate change. They hope new policies focus more on how the entire forest ecosystem interacts.
Maintaining the diverse ecosystem of forests by protecting large fruit-eating animals is one step in a complex web of conservation efforts necessary to combat forest loss and climate change. Help one of those efforts by visiting the Rainforest Site to learn more about how you can help save Brazil's Atlantic Forest.

Head of the Schuylkill Regatta
Schuylkill River
Philadelphia, PA (USA)
Hosted By University Barge Club
2017 Registered Regatta

WELCOME TO ALL COACHES AND COMPETITORS

We wish to call attention to the following additions and/or changes to the Rules of Racing at the 2017 HOSR, as well as highlight some items that are best reviewed on an annual basis.  However, we advise all coaches and competitors to review the Rules in full in order have a safe and fair regatta experience.

Equipment

3-105 - Bowball: Every boat shall have a supple or plastic ball, of a white or fluorescent color, firmly attached and mounted on its bow, unless equivalent provision for visibility and protection against puncture injury is included in the boat’s basic construction. The bowball shall be at least 4 centimeters in diameter.

3-108 - Footgear Release: (a) In all boats, the foot stretchers, shoes or other devices holding the feet of the Rowers shall be a type which allows the Rowers to get clear of the boat with no delay.  (b) Where shoes or other devices holding the feet will remain in the boat, each shoe or device shall be independently restrained such that the heel will not lift more than three inches (7.5 cm) above the foot board to which it is anchored.

3-109 - Boat Construction for Coxswains: A boat in which the body of the coxswain is enclosed or partially enclosed within the hull of the boat shall conform to the following requirements: (a)The opening of the boat through which the coxswain enters and exits shall be at least 2.30 feet (70 cm) long when measured along the longitudinal axis of the boat.  For a length of at least 1.64 feet (50 cm), the opening shall be as wide as the inner hull of the boat itself. (b) The inner surface within which the coxswain’s body rests shall be smooth and free of any obstacles, devices, or other structures that would hinder quick exit.

Steering and Overtaking

Please see Section 2 of the HOSR racing rules to be informed of major additions and changes to the steering and overtaking rules and guidelines. Boats are now free to pass other boats on either side, anywhere on the racing course provided that it is safe to do so at the moment in question.

The responsibilities of all boats to avoid undue interference, whether overtaking other boats or being overtaken are clearly spelled out, as are the penalties for infractions.

Coaches, please make sure that your coxswains and stroke-seat and bow-seat rowers fully understand their shared responsibilities under the new rules. In team boats that do not include a coxswain (2-, 2x, 4x) successful steering and incident avoidance are the responsibility of the bow-seat rower or sculler.

Handicaps

With very few exceptions as judged by the Regatta Organizing Committee, there will continue to be no age  handicaps in any of HOSR’s Masters groupings (27-39, 40-49 and 50-59). However, all Veterans, Parent/Child, and Alumni events (60+) will be handicapped.

AFL contenders: Final chance to make the grade
In the final round of the home and away season, the top 8 and top 4 are still in flux. Sports editor Tim McGrath looks at the options.
The finals picture has cleared considerably following round 22, but there are still a few scenarios that could see teams jump in and out of the top 8 and top 4.
Two favourites in the race to the eight have separated themselves from the rest, while top 4 teams will clash on Friday and Saturday nights in what could be finals previews.
The Favourites
Greater Western Sydney Giants
GWS all but secured their place in the finals while simultaneously ending Richmond's season in their highly convincing win last Friday.
A win against the lowly Carlton Blues this Saturday night would secure seventh place and make it three wins on the trot for the Giants heading into the finals.
The Bombers are in a very strong position to make the eight, given their unassailable lead in percentage over the teams trailing them.
They also come into their final home and away match as the heavy favourite against Collingwood. They will play that game on Sunday afternoon with the knowledge of whether they need to win based on previous results in the round, while Collingwood will play it knowing that it will help their bid for Nick Daicos if they lose.
The Long-Shots
It surprised me to see Fremantle at $8 to make the finals on Sportsbet along with West Coast. While GWS and Essendon are solid favourites in their respective matches, it wouldn't be shocking to see one of them lose.
If they do, Freo will still be riding high after an emotional derby win and will fancy their chances against a Saints team missing a bevy of good players and any motivation at Blundstone Arena.
West Coast now faces a steep uphill battle to make the eight after losing their third game in a row in a backbreaker against Fremantle. The good news is that they only need one of GWS and Essendon to lose to jump them with a win. They also don't have to worry about Fremantle, should they also win, given the Eagles' edge in percentage. The bad news is that their win has to come in a trip to the Gabba to face a red-hot Brisbane Lions outfit.
Geelong and Melbourne will face off in a bout for the minor premiership on Saturday night, while Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs will likely be playing for second place the night before (if Melbourne win, the Bulldogs can only get third).
If the Bulldogs lose, however, they could fall out of the top 4 if Brisbane beats West Coast convincingly.
Given there may be a finals hub in Perth and therefore no home-field advantage, the top 4 teams might not choose to put it all on the table and show their hands. It would be no surprise if these were Preliminary Final, or even Grand Final, previews.

Tsanoff: Palante, pessimism and individualism
RADOSLAV TSANOFF — The object of this little book – Pessimisme et individualisme. Par Georges Palante (Paris, Félix Alcan, 1914) – is to trace a parallel between pessimism and individualism, to show that both arise from a sense of the insupportable pressure, disharmony, tyranny, hypocrisy, and futility of the social medium. With this aim in view, the writer subjects to a brief, but penetrating, analysis the several varieties of pessimism which he recognizes. Romantic pessimism (Obermann, René, Byron, Leopardi, Heine, Vigny, Schopenhauer) involves an anti-social despondence, radically individualistic. Historic pessimism, nostalgically retrospective, as in de Gobineau and Nietzsche, remains anti-social so long as it remains pessimistic, so long as it compares the disgusting present with the glorious past, Persian or Hellenic. It grows less individualistic as it grows more optimistic, in anticipating the future epoch of the superman. Misanthropic or realistic pessimism, born of a cynical acquaintance with human fraud and imbecility (Schopenhauer, Stirner, Swift, Voltaire, Stendhal, Mérimée, Taine, etc.) presupposes or engenders contemplative isolation: scorn for men involves separation from men. Irrationalism (Goethe, Schopenhauer, Maeterlinck, Bergson, Stirner, von Hartmann, Guyau, Rabelais, le Dantec, etc.) does not necessarily lead to individualism, nor even to pessimism. It is not always suffciently emotional to incite an anti-social revolt. But, if it does not conduce to positive individualism, it does result in a negative attitude towards social ends: irrationalistic nihilism is likely to express itself in a spectacular, 'dilettanti' individualism, sneering at the stupid, illogical world. Scientific pessimism, as the author labels the dissatisfaction resulting from the realization of the inevitable limits of scientific procedure (Jean Finot, Paul Bourget) cannot with certainty be said to have individualistic implications. Finally theological pessimism (Anatole France's Les opinions de M. Jérome Coignard, Brunetière) is a recognition of the contrarieties of human nature, and depends to a certain degree on irrationalistic pessimism, leading in some cases to a similar social dilettantism.
Of all the varieties of pessimism analyzed by the author, the romantic seems most certainly to imply individualism. The more intellectualistic varieties are less certainly individualistic, but, M. Palante reminds us, they are also less genuinely pessimistic. The only true pessimism is the pessimism of sentiment, and that is why it is naturally accompanied by individualism((The Philosophical review, Vol. 23, 1914)).
Letture palantiane


Pour 1 cup water into a medium bowl, sprinkle gelatin on top and set aside to soften for 5 minutes. Microwave gelatin at full power for 2 minutes and then stir to dissolve. Whisk in sugar and lemon juice; whisk in pear nectar and set aside.
Peel and quarter 1 pear. Cut lengthwise in slices and arrange in a 6-cup gelatin ring mold. Pour in half of gelatin mixture and then refrigerate until set, about 45 minutes. Repeat with remaining pear and gelatin mixture, layering on top of jelled gelatin; refrigerate.
To unmold gelatin: Dip chilled mold in 2 inches of hot water for about 15 seconds. Next, place a serving platter on top of mold and invert. Then remove mold. Cut gelatin into slices and serve each slice with a drizzle of yogurt.


I am very particular when it comes to curating my cheese assortment.
First, most of my cheese comes from independent producers and small family farms. I feel it is important support the craft, artistry, and cultural history these cheese makers offer. I also offer select name protected cheeses from larger producers. Secondly, my cheese comes from animals raised on grass. The reasons for this are many but here are two: the cheese is higher in omega 3, which makes it healthier for you, and, it simply tastes better, too. Lastly, I consider if a particular cheese is award-winning, innovative, or unusual. You deserve the best.
When you decide on a particular cheese I cut it to order for you. I cut it right from the wheel and wrap it in special cheese paper. The paper is from Formaticum in New York. Why special paper?
Cheese is a living food. Preserving its life, and flavor, is the goal.
Formaticum paper has two layers. This allows the cheese to breathe: an important part of of the chemical process.
Proper storage can prolong a cheese's life and its overall flavor.
Together, this demanding selection process ensures that you only enjoy the best possible product.
Be sure to join my weekly mailing list to be informed of availability. Alternatively, you can join me at a planned event or make an appointment.
Thanks for making regular appearances at George Bowers Grocery in Staunton. Our customers appreciate all the delicious cheese you bring us. I always look forward to seeing you!

Sober House Founder Rewards Inspiring Special Needs Group
by: Rudy Williams
Posted: Dec 12, 2016 / 10:22 PM CST / Updated: Jan 3, 2017 / 01:50 PM CST
Sober House began as a program to help men with addiction challenges. Its founder Larry Hunter also makes it his mission to help transform the lives of others in the community, including a special group of young people.
Larry Hunter is known for doing good deeds throughout the community.
Recently he learned a valuable lesson by helping people with special needs. One young lady he says is his shining star.
Amongst a group of rambunctious, karate kicking young people are some with special needs, but you might not recognize them.
One, in particular, is 19-year-old India Douglas.
In just six months of India taking martial arts class four days a week, she's found a new outgoing personality.
"She's a very sweet young lady, and she used to be in a shell," said her mother, Beverly Douglas. "Since she's been taking Taekwondo she has a lot of confidence and self- esteem is very high, now."
Monday night India was hopeful she would test high enough to move up to her next level karate belt as Hunter of Sober House looked on.
Hunter and karate instructors sponsored India and some of the other students paying for uniforms and when needed classes.
Along with new belt rankings, Hunter offered more rewards for the young lady who has inspired him. "Martial arts has built up her esteem now," said Hunter. "She thinks she's Bruce Lee."
Tables full of toys were given to young people for their commitment to these classes.Hunter, through Sober House, has given away cars and houses to those in need in the past. He's found himself receiving the gift through India's transformation.
Hunter says if it weren't for this class."Were it not for this class 201 Poplar would probably have half of these kids locked up," Hunter believes.
India passed her test and is now wearing a yellow belt around her waist and an infectious smile on her face.
ACLU urges TN Gov. Lee not to sign anti-LGBT adoption bill
by The Associated Press, KIMBERLEE KRUESI Associated Press / Jan 22, 2020
(AP) - A civil rights group is raising questions about the legality of a proposal that would assure continued taxpayer funding of faith-based foster care and adoption agencies even if they exclude LGBT families and others based on religious beliefs.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee on Tuesday sent a letter to Gov. Bill Lee urging him not to sign the legislation currently awaiting his signature.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (localmemphis.com) — The issue of whether or not to increase Shelby County's wheel tax and by how much continues to roll down the road.
On Wednesday morning, the Shelby County Commission is expected to once again take up the debate on a possible increase for MATA funding improvements.

How to Become a High School Soccer Coach
How to Become a Fully Qualified UEFA Coach
soccer ball image by astoria from Fotolia.com
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is Europe's governing soccer body. The highest level of UEFA coaching qualification is the pro coaching license, which is aimed at Europe's elite clubs. The English Football Association offers coaching courses from a grass-roots level for coaches to gain experience by becoming an FA Level 1 club coach. From there, you can work your way up through the coaching levels to FA Level 3 UEFA A coach, which is a step below the pro coaching license.
Enroll in the Football Association's FA Level 1 club coach program (see Resources). Courses are held at various sites in the United Kingdom and are for those who have no coaching experience. The course provides instruction in basic soccer coaching techniques.
Participate in the FA Level 2 club coach program. The courses are held at certain times of the year in centers throughout the United Kingdom. The course is for those who have soccer coaching experience or have completed the FA Level 1 Club Coach course. The course covers team formations and how to coach one-on-one training sessions.
Complete Coaching Level 3, which is the UEFA B recognized qualification. Courses are run throughout in the United Kingdom; participants must have completed FA Level 2 club coach program to enroll. The in-depth course covers functional soccer coaching practices, such as small-sided matches, evaluating players and team performances. You will also learn how to analyze soccer matches and assess players' physical and psychological fitness and diet.
Pass the UEFA A License evaluation. The course is held nationally in the United Kingdom, and the qualification is respected throughout the soccer world. During the course, you will learn about practical and theoretical developments in modern soccer. You will be required to devise, organize and evaluate coaching sessions in advanced skills, tactics, strategies and systems of play. You must complete a UEFA A Preparatory Course before commencing the UEFA A license coaching course. After completing the latter course, you will be a fully qualified UEFA coach.
Apply to attend the UEFA pro license course. The pro license is mandatory for all coaches in Europe's elite divisions. The course combines coaching skills with non-soccer-specific training, including employment law, finance, media, technology, business management and club structure. Once qualified, you are eligible to coach Real Madrid, AC Milan or Manchester United.
Check the FA website regularly (see Resources) to see where and when coaching courses are run.
Book your coaching courses in advance, as limited space may be available for candidates.

Audubon Remembers Alfred L. Hawkes
Alfred L. Hawkes 1928 - 2018
It is with deep sorrow that we inform you of the passing of Audubon's Former Executive Director Alfred L. Hawkes.
Al passed away on Thursday, March 15, 2018. He served as Audubon Society of Rhode Island Executive Director from 1958 to 1993 and guided Audubon through its most critical growth period. Hawkes was recognized as a strong, statewide leader for shaping early environmental action and consciousness in the state.
Hawkes moved Audubon from a small group of citizens concerned about birds to an organization with a strong voice at the State House and a recognized leader in environmental education and conservation. He played a prominent role in critical environmental issues including regulation of pesticides and water pollution and the crucial need for land conservation.
Under his direction, strategic meetings for the increasing environmental concerns of the 1960s were held at Audubon headquarters in Providence, including the ban of DDT that caused the steep decline of Osprey and other raptors. In the 1970s he established the Environment Council of Rhode Island as National Wildlife Federation's state affiliate.
Hawkes was recognized both locally and nationally with numerous honors and awards including honorary doctorates from Brown University, Rhode Island College, and the University of Rhode Island.
He is also remembered for his affable, modest demeanor that served him well in his determined efforts to move environmental issues forward. Hawkes was just as comfortable sitting in the governor's office as he was working with a group of young students in the field. He will long be remembered for shaping the modern environmental movement in Rhode Island.
A mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday, March 19, 2018 at 11:00 am in St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Danielson Pike, North Scituate. Visitation respectfully omitted. In lieu of flowers, his family has requested memorial contributions to be made to Audubon. Click here to make a donation in memory of Al.

WENATCHEE, WA— Wenatchee Football Club is providing opportunities for local players to take their game to the next level. Now the club is helping do the same thing for soccer referees in the Wenatchee Valley.
WFC will field a reserves squad for their Evergreen Premier League side. The Reserves will play matches that will give local referees experience in calling matches. EPLWA matches and Reserves matches will all be played at the Apple Bowl.
Ed Navarro of the Wenatchee Valley Soccer Referee Association is excited about the opportunity.
"Our main goal is to expose our local referee members to a more competitive soccer. Working with Wenatchee FC gives us that opportunity," says Navarro, who is the Director of Instruction and Assignor for the WVSRA.
WENATCHEE, WA— Javier Reyna helped found Wenatchee FC of the Evergreen Premier League back in 2013. In their first season of play the club saw a supporters group rise up to follow them. The Bridge Mafia has grown each season since then. Now the supporters group is fielding an indoor soccer team, and WFC co-owner Reyna has joined them on the pitch.
The Bridge Mafia are playing in a Co-Ed league at the Wenatchee Valley Sportsplex. They recently got t-shirts / uniforms sponsored by Arroyo Accounting. While helping Wenatchee FC build a tradition in the Valley the Mafia are starting indoor traditions of their own.
The Evergreen Premier League was founded with the motto "Our State, Our Clubs, Our Culture." In the short time since 2013 Wenatchee now has its own club, and is seeing soccer culture take root right alongside all of those beautiful apple trees.

When you need a lawyer, good advice can be expensive. What to look for and what should you do when looking for a lawyer? Here are the points that can guide you to find the best lawyer.
It's important that you find a Car Accident Lawyers in Benbrook who specializes in exactly the type of law you are standing behind. It cannot be said to use a divorce attorney in a criminal court case. You must go for a lawyer who is a specialist in a maximum of three areas. Otherwise, you can be sure that it is a person who is not specialized in anything.
There is ample opportunity to check your lawyer online before you contact them. First of all, you should see if there is a website and how it looks. You can also carefully check if there are any newspaper articles or discussions of this particular company online.
When it comes to law, it's also about trust. It's important that you find a lawyer you like to talk to. If there is bad chemistry between you, it will be a long and difficult course to go through. It is absolutely crucial that you trust your lawyer.
It is always a good idea to ask family, friends and colleagues for advice before choosing a lawyer. Even though you are good at researching and you can find many good lawyers by searching the web, there is a great deal of security in choosing one that has been recommended personally.
You need to consider whether it is important that your lawyer is close to you. In many contexts you can easily have a lawyer you correspond to via the internet or phone. But there are also situations where it is nice to be able to meet with his lawyer face2face. Investigate which specialists live near you and make the decision based on your needs.
It can be an expensive affair not to control the price before you start collaboration with a lawyer. When you apply for the first time, ask for a price estimate. You should also ask how much fluctuations may be in the price. If the price becomes more expensive than the estimate, the lawyer will inform you about it.
Once you have considered what kind of lawyer assistance you need and where in the country you are leading, you must obtain more offers. There can be a lot of money to save by getting offers from several places. And that is often the same service – that's what you're asking for.

St. James United Methodist Church
SC Picture Project / Darlington County / St. James United Methodist Church
This modern-looking brick church in Darlington was actually founded shortly after the Civil War. Established in 1866 by freedmen, its original name was Pearl Street Methodist Episcopal Church. According to local lore, the church's bell was given to the congregation by Federal troops, who had taken it from neighboring St. John's Academy.
Jannie Harriot of Hartsville, 2014 © Do Not Use Without Written Consent
Support for the founding of this church, now called St. James United Methodist Church, was provided by the Methodist Episcopal Church Missionary Society. The congregation erected a building for worship on this site in 1866, which doubled as a school house. That building was replaced by another one in 1883, and the second church was succeeded by the current brick building, completed in 1960.

Havanese on show in Victoria?
Are there any upcoming shows where I would be likely to see a few havanese dogs?
Will there be any Havanese breeders at the Dog Lover's show?
Have went you a PM with a suggestion. Hope it helps.
If you look on the Dogs Vic website, the shows will be listed there.


Discussion in 'PowerPC Macs' started by PimpGGG, Apr 23, 2006.
i dont know what to do..so im asking you guys...please help..
well, have you installed front row enabler and installed front row? that would explain that.
Did, by any chance, you hack Front Row into it?
If the answer is no to the above question, try restarting again, and repairing permissions.
Did you upgrade the OS or anything recently?
EDIT: My grudge against Democrats gets stronger. Just kidding.
Do you mean it restarted by randomly by itself and you don't know why or do you mean that you had to restart it on purpose for some reason? If it is the latter and not the former I'd suggest trying to do another restart to see if it clears up. If it restarted by itself for some unknown reason I'd suggest not doing anything else with it until you give us a much more detailed explanation of your system, what was happening when it restarted and what symptoms you are experiencing now.
I see you're a newbie to this forum. To get the best response to questions you post in the future try to give as many details you can about your system, what's happening and what your question is.
Did it restart like it normally does and go through the whole shut down process or did it just sudden turn completely off like the whole computer crashed and then began the normal startup process?
Front row thingy bad. Click here.
Judging by several factors I'd say you are a young person. I hope your system gets fixed, but no matter what happens I think you just learned a valuable lesson. You should never install anything without researching it first, especially not something that requires you to hack your system and especially not on a system that has anything you care about on. Since I don't know anything about the Front Row hack I can't help you any further.
Because the mods here don't allow discussions about things that are pirated you are likely to find little info on the pirated version of front row or how to recover from its ill effects. The best advice I can give you is to try looking on a different website for help with that problem. Just google it.
You updated your OS from Apple and your computer works less? If that's the case, it sounds like the hack did some nasty stuff.
EDIT: Time to get out the software install/restore disk and boot from that & run disk utility.
Worst come to worst, backup your data and do a clean install of the OS.
can sum one tell me how to backup my data and do a cold reboot?
Macfixit.com has some great troubleshooting tutorials, try this.
That's why I recommended a page that explained how to do it. I believe in you! Follow the directions and you can do it.
dude...its confusin...i tired..and got nowhere..
If you have access to another Mac just start up your computer in target disk mode (do a search here to find out how to do this) to backup the files you care about through that other Mac. Once that's done, startup your computer from the Mac OS install cd and do a clean install. This will give you a fresh unhacked copy of the operating system.

Q: iOS Develoment: Why is my NSURLConnection failing with a "bad URL" error for only some users? I have an iOS app that requests JSON data from my Rails 3 app, hosted on Heroku, and it works great on my device and for many other users, except one.  I have one user who has told me that my app fails to retrieve the JSON data, so I had her send me some log data and the log showed the NSURLConnection delegate method didFailWithError is being called and the error description reads "bad URL".  Why is this error occurring and why is it ONLY occurring on just some devices instead of all devices?
Here's my code,
-(void)getTournamentInfoWithUsername:(NSString*)username
{
    NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://myapp-tourney.heroku.com/tournaments/next.json?username=%@", username];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
    NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoad timeoutInterval:30];
    [self setUrlConnection:[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self]];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection*)connection didFailWithError:(NSError*)error
{
    [MyLog logError:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ - %@ - %@ - %@", [error localizedDescription], [error localizedFailureReason], [error localizedRecoveryOptions], [error localizedRecoverySuggestion]]];
}

and the log shows...
bad URL - (null) - (null) - (null)

Thanks so much for all your wisdom!

A: It is likely that this depends on the specific URL containing characters that are not allowed for a URL.
You can try and escape the URL:
- (NSString *)stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:(NSStringEncoding)encoding`

A: It doesn't look like you are encoding the username.  Are there spaces or other special characters in the username?  Look into using the NSString method stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:.

A: I'm not sure how if at all it relates to your issue, but changing the Region in the Settings App had an affect on my app's ability to download. It was spitting out the same Bad URL error if the region was not set to United States. It might explain why some users are getting errors and not others.

A: This kind of issue may will come due to argument data having special characters(ie. Andy & Co). SOAP automatically will reject this request and returns Bad URL or Bad Request. So, before you sending the data please ensure the data having special characters like &,<,>...
If you found & in your string data , replace with <&>amp; to that string(eg.Andy <&>amp; Co). Hope this input will help for you.
Note: Before you use,Please remove start(<>) and end tag with that symbol.

Best Vitamin C Supplements Revealed by ConsumerLab
Posted: Jun. 06, 2020
White Plains, New York, June 6, 2020 — Due to its role in maintaining immune system health, vitamin C has been promoted to help prevent and treat COVID-19, as well as other viral infections such as colds. But does taking a vitamin C supplement really help? And with so many different forms and doses of vitamin C on the market, which products provide the best quality and value?
To find out, ConsumerLab carefully reviewed the clinical evidence, and purchased, tested, and reviewed popular vitamin C supplements on sold in the U.S. and Canada, including tablets, capsules, powders, liquids and gummies. All of the products contained their claimed amounts of vitamin C and passed ConsumerLab's other tests of quality. This is a significant improvement from ConsumerLab tests in 2017 that revealed problems with 20% of vitamin C supplements. However, there were significant differences in dose (from 60 mg to 5,000 mg) and cost (from 3 cents to over $3 per 500 mg of vitamin C). Most supplements provided far more than the daily requirement for vitamin C in a daily serving, which can be helpful if taking for a cold or other condition, but is generally not necessary, and could increase the risk of adverse effects.
Among the products that were Approved, ConsumerLab selected its Top Picks for vitamin C supplements based on quality, value, safety and taste.
The results are available online in ConsumerLab's new Vitamin C Supplements Review which includes test results and comparisons for 17 products. Eight products were selected for testing by ConsumerLab: ChildLife Liquid Vitamin C, Dr. Mercola Liposomal Vitamin C, Ester-C 500 mg, Jamieson Chewable C 500, Natures Plus Animal Parade Vitamin C, Solaray Vitamin C Powder 5,000 mg, Thorne Vitamin C with Flavonoids, and Vitafusion Power C. Another nine products were tested and approved through CL's voluntary Quality Certification Program: American Health Ester-C, Garden of Life mykind Organics Vitamin C, Garden of Life Vitamin Code RAW Vitamin C, Life Extension Vitamin C Bio-Quercetin Phytosome, Nature's Bounty C 500 mg, Nature's Way Vitamin C With Rose Hips, Signature Care Vitamin C 500 mg, Solgar U-Cubes Vitamin C Gummies, and Solgar Vitamin C 1,000 mg.
As discussed in the review, high doses of vitamin C taken during cold season may slightly reduce the risk of getting a cold. Vitamin C supplementation may also slightly reduce blood pressure and the risk of gout. However, high doses of vitamin C can cause diarrhea, and, taken regularly, can increase the risk of developing cataracts and kidney stones. There are many forms of vitamin C available, including ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, and liposomal vitamin C, but there is no compelling evidence that one is much better than another. The ascorbate forms may be easier on your stomach. The review explains this as well as possible side effects and drug interactions.
While getting sufficient vitamin C can help maintain a healthy immune system, there is no evidence that getting more than the daily requirement of vitamin C can reduce the risk of COVID-19, the infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. High doses of vitamin C, given intravenously, are currently being tested in COVID-19 patients in China who have developed pneumonia, but the benefit of this approach has yet to be proven. This is discussed in a separate article about supplements and coronavirus on ConsumerLab.com.
Founded in 1999, ConsumerLab.com is a leading provider of consumer information and independent evaluations of products that affect health and nutrition. Membership to ConsumerLab.com is available online and provides immediate access to continually updated reviews of nearly every popular type of dietary supplement and health food, answers to reader questions, and product recalls and warnings.

The novel selected for the 2011 "A Novel Idea" program is Kapitoil by Teddy Wayne.
Wayne was also recently chosen as a finalist for the New York Public Library's 2011 Young Lions Fiction award. "The award honors the works of young authors carving deep first impressions in the literary world."
"I look forward to my visit to Central Oregon with great anticipation, because, as a writer, I work in a vacuum. I mean that literally; I have repurposed an industrial-sized Hoover vacuum as my writing room. It's drafty and dust-choked in here, and I expect my time in your city to be stiller and cleaner.
"This wonderfully assured debut novel, at once poignant, insightful, and funny, details Karim's passage through a new world of corporate sharks, Manhattan clubs, museums, Bob Dylan lyrics, and personal growth. Karim's English, always grammatically correct but stilted with terms from science, mathematics, computing, and business, is a delight. Best of all, however, is simply being inside Karim's head as he ponders Jackson Pollock's paintings, baseball, programming, and the mysteries of love and life in the U.S."
"Wayne's strong and heartfelt debut novel...zips through a minefield of potential clichés and comes out unscathed, striking a balance of humor and keen insight that propels the story through Karim's education about the West's ethics and its capitalism, while in the background the World Trade Center looms. It's a slick first novel that beautifully captures a time that, in retrospect, seems tragically naïve."
"Affecting, timely, and frequently hilarious."
"[Karim]'s a type—the nerdy and needy young immigrant—that we're all familiar with but that no other writer, as far as I know, has invented such a funny and compelling voice and story for...it does what novels can do better than any other art form: Show us a familiar world through unfamiliar eyes."
A Novel Idea…Read Together kicks off on April 10, 2011 with three weeks of free cultural programs, book discussions, films, food tastings, music, and art – and will culminate with author Teddy Wayne visiting Central Oregon April 28 – 30.
Past A Novel Idea authors include Khaled Hosseini, David James Duncan, Maria Amparo Escandon, Kenny Moore, Dara Horn, Lauren Kessler, and Kathryn Stockett.

Story: A able dog adopts a beautiful boy. Together they time-travel to acquaintance history! Their adventures accompanying with the abnormal father-son bonding comprise the story.
Review: Mr. Peabody (Ty Burrell) is a super-intelligent dog who is way too acute for bodies to accept him. Sadly, his aciculate apperception and acrimony cede him lonely. If you chase The Big Bang Theory, you'll analyze Mr Peabody with Sheldon Cooper.
The dog puts his intelligence to blue-blooded use and becomes a 'Nobel Prize-winning' scientist who owns a chichi bifold in New York and invents a time-travelling machine. He adopts a adolescent boy Sherman (Max Charles) in adjustment to accord the closing article he never had while growing up – a home. Just like his father, Sherman too is a beatnik who gets afraid by Penny (Ariel Winter) at academy for 'knowing too much'.
In animosity of actuality banned to admission the time apparatus after daddy's permission, in adjustment to affect Penny, Sherman grants her admission to it. All hell break apart aback Penny gets transported to age-old Egypt through it. Can the boys get her aback to the present day?
With its anarchistic 'dog adopting a boy' story, candied humour and cutesy characters, the blur is absorbing and manages to accomplish you smile throughout. While it begins beautifully and has its different atypical moments, the additional bisected is moderately funny and succumbs to predictability. The adventures with actual abstracts too get a tad banal as the news proceeds. The focus accouterment from the father-son bonding to Sherman-Penny camaraderie, authoritative the blur assume formulaic.
Nonetheless, kids are apprenticed to adulation the characters and their absurd antics. We decidedly admired the funny apery of Greek baron Agamemnon and aberration to the Trojan horse episode. Gandhi and his amiable persona are featured too. Mona Lisa's banter, with her acclaimed painter Leonardo da Vinci, is hilarious. At heart, the blur looks at history with a bender of fun.


Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven; Christ gives eternal life as a free gift to all who believe in Him; eternal life cannot be earned by good works; it is by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ - plus nothing, minus nothing.

Do you have a passion for wildlife conservation?
Our course in Wildlife Conservation is ideal for anyone who is looking to gain more knowledge in wildlife conservation to begin a career or even volunteer in the area. Encompassing the study of wildlife biology and ecology, the Wildlife Conservation course teaches students how to apply theory to practical conservation of wildlife and their habitats.
This course complements our Wildlife Management course.
Learn practical flora and fauna (including marine) survey techniques.
This course covers the guiding principles of wildlife ecology, threatened species management, habitat fragmentation and degradation, surveying for endangered species and species recovery.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has placed species into categories of risk using criteria that focus on the absolute size of wild populations and changes to the populations in the last 10 years.
No living individuals of the species exist.
A species is known to survive only in cultivation, captivity or as a naturalised population outside of its past range.
A species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future.
A species is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future.
A species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future.
A species that is being sustained by ongoing conservation programs, however without those programs the species would likely qualify for one of the threatened categories within 5 years.
A Species that is close to Vulnerable status for which no conservation measures are in place.
A species that does not qualify for conservation dependent or near threatened classification.
Information about a species' distribution and abundance is insufficient to assess its risk of extinction.
Animals are a critical part of the global ecosystem in which we live. All of the animals plants and microorganisms that share the earth with mankind, have developed over millennia, together, and in a delicate balance with each other. Humans may well have developed a higher level of understanding than other living things; but the complex interactions that occur between all species, are not understood fully, and very likely may never be. To remove any one living species will inevitably impact other species, and those impacts will snowball through many other species.
Diversity of life is critical to stability of habitats. We live in a global environment that is managed by the mechanisms of mother nature. If we remove any part of mother nature, we risk our world environment unraveling. Global warming has already created potential problems for future generations. Removing any one species of animal may also have unforeseen implications.
Diseases that could potentially affect man, may well be kept under control by the existence of other life forms. Animals and plants that exist today may be very important in unlocking treatments for diseases that affect humans tomorrow. We can hypothesise about the specific benefits of wildlife conservation; but it's impossible to know the unknown benefits that might reveal in the future.
For some students; learning about wildlife conservation, is a step toward creating a better future for everyone. It can also be a step toward creating a better future for the individual. As awareness about this issue continues to rise; employment opportunities in wildlife conservation continue to increase.
Jobs such as parks management, which in the past paid very little attention to wildlife conservation, are now giving very serious consideration to the issue. Knowing about wildlife conservation can enhance your employment or business prospects in many different types of employment, from environmental and land management, to property development and horticulture.


You don't have to be a master chef to eat clean. There are many food options that are delicious and healthy that are as easy to make as toast. Visit your local grocer and look for precooked chicken breasts or water-packed tuna. Wander over to the produce section and pick up a container of baby spinach or salad greens. While you're there, pick up a few tomatoes, baby carrots and other veggies that are tempting you. And a juicy lemon will do nicely for the dressing. So far, you haven't cooked a thing!
Make life simple by choosing foods that are easily assembled into a clean-eating meal. Plan to have leftovers on purpose. Boil 12 eggs instead of one – that way, you'll have extras, and boiling an egg is simple stuff. Grill or bake several chicken breasts instead of just one – again, you'll have extras on hand for the next meal. I like to call it "assembly cooking" – this is especially helpful when you use a wrap as your base. Line up goodies like hummus, grilled tofu or chicken, sliced tomato, sprouts and more of your favorites and create your own version of a gourmet wrap.

Q: Prop shows in Dev tools but shows undefined when used I'm passing a simple ID down to a child component but have an undefined console log error and cannot use the prop
I pass the prop here to the child
<transactions v-show="active_tab == 2" :userId="affiliate.user_id"></transactions>

Which is then picked up in the child here
props: ["userId"]

I then just try and console log the prop like so
console.log(this.userId);

As you can see from the image the prop is showing up in Devtools

Error is as follows
[Vue warn]: Invalid prop: type check failed for prop "userId". Expected String with value "undefined", got Undefined

A: Try use the call on template like this:
<transactions v-if="active_tab == 2" :user-id="affiliate.user_id"></transactions>

The vue compilation can change camelcase props on template to lowercase with hyphen.
You can take a look on vue documentation about that: https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/components-props.html#Prop-Casing-camelCase-vs-kebab-case

A: So it would seem the prop was being declared after page load, So I have used a Watch to wait for the change and then run the method
as so
watch: {
    user_id() {
      console.log(this.user_id);
      this.fetch_transactions_data();
    }
  }


Forest managers have long desired easily accessible information about wildlife species and their habitat requirements. Two tools that address this issue in Michigan and the Lake States are MIWILD and MIWILDhab2. MIWILD is software that uses a database of expert knowledge to analyze extent of wildlife habitat. Originally designed for use in planning activities on state land in Michigan, MIWILD was developed as a set of information and assessment tools for individuals interested in the wildlife of Michigan and their associated habitats. MIWILD allows a user to associate any of the terrestrial vertebrate species in Michigan with habitats available in Michigan. MIWILDhab2 provides assessments of changes in suitable habitat area for wildlife species of interest as a result of acreage changes due to user-specified management alternatives.
Providing adequate amounts of appropriate habitat for species of interest is one of the many goals of forest owners and managers. Quality and quantity of habitat must be assessed, and its availability must be balanced with other identified needs from forests. Managers need tools to assess habitat trends and evaluate tradeoffs associated with existing habitat conditions and habitat management alternatives. The USDA Forest Service has spearheaded the creation of computer-based tools to help managers accomplish these tasks through the NED development effort. The NED software comprises a set of tools that enable a user to identify and inventory specific properties and management goals for those properties, then have the computer evaluate how well present or future conditions may meet those identified goals. (Twery et al. 2005) MIWILD and MIWILDhab2 are independent programs from which the knowledge they contain will be added to the resources of forthcoming NED programs. MIWILD and MIWILDhab2 are successors to NEWILD, a similar package published in 1998 (Thomasma et al. 1998) based on the compilations of species-habitat relationships by DeGraaf and Rudis (1986) and DeGraaf et al. (1992) for New England.
User Manuals are installed with the software. You may download PDF user manuals seperately below if you prefer. Both manuals refer to Appendix A (IFMAP cover types) and Appendix B (NED forest types), which are combined into the Appendices pdf.
MIWILD will only install on Windows 2000, service pack 3 or later operating systems, as well as any version of Windows XP. The installation and setup of MIWILD requires the Microsoft Windows Installer engine, version 3.0 or newer. You may already have Windows Installer 3.0 if you have Windows XP service pack 2 or newer. If you aren't sure which version of the windows installer is present on your computer, you may download a small utility program that will verify your current Windows Installer version for you.

Q: Are there any issues in applying Oracle 9.2.0.8.0 patch set on Windows 2003 server? I'm going to apply an Oracle 9.2.0.8.0 patch to an existing 9.2.0.7.0. The server has Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1.
Are there any issues/problems you encountered after applying this 9.2.0.8.0 patch set in Windows 2003?

A: We've found Oracle 9i to behave pretty well on Server 2003. We've patched both 8i an 9i to higher versions on a 2003 server and all patches went off without a hitch.
Having said that though, always make sure you FULLY READ Oracle's patch instructions and readme's because they really like to hide gotchas in there.

Why Gwyneth Paltrow Did Not Like Kissing Robert Downey Jr.
Gwyneth Paltrow just made a shocking revelation about her "Iron Man" co-star Robert Downey Jr.
In her recent "Goop Podcast" episode, the 48-year-old actress had a sit-down interview with her good friend and the "Bride Wars" star Kate Hudson as they opened up about their best and worst screen kisses.
The Goop founder first asked Hudson to name a celebrity who she thinks is the best on-screen kisser.
"Honestly, I feel like I kind of haven't had the best kissers," the blonde beauty answered, adding: "I feel like I should have had better ones."
She then asked the 41-year-old Hudson about the Golden Globe winner Matthew McConaughey, who was her leading man in the 2003 romantic comedy film "How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days" and "Fool's Gold."
To recall, the two have been romantically linked with each other due to their intense on-screen chemistry.
"The thing is, every time I kiss McConaughey, it's like, I mean, it's like there's just something happening, and there's like snot or wind, or things are just... like when we were kissing in the end of Fool's Gold, we're like in the ocean, we like had the plane crash," Kate explained. "He just had snot all over his face."
It appears Paltrow was able to relate to the "You, Me and Dupree" actress, as she asked Kate whether the Texas-born actor gives off that "brother energy." Hudson replied: "It can be a little sibling-y at times, but no."
Gwyneth Paltrow Felt Odd Kissing RDJ

The Primetime Emmy Award winner then shared her fair share of best and worst kisses, which includes her "Avengers" co-star.
During their discussion, Gwyneth Paltrow confessed that she felt odd kissing the Hollywood A-lister and described it as lip-locking a family member.
"Like with Robert, like when I kissed him, and I was like, 'You've got to be kidding me,'" she mentioned. "This is literally like kissing my brother."
Growing Up in Hollywood
The "Shallow Hal" actress and Robert Downey Jr. almost had the same background growing up, as both of their parents worked in Hollywood.
The "Sherlock Holmes" star's father, Robert Downey Sr., was an actor, director, producer, writer, and cinematographer.
His first directorial movie was the 1961 low-budget movie "Ball's Bluff," followed by the 1972 American Western film "Greaser's Palace," which he both directed and wrote.
On the other hand, the Goop founder's mother is the two-time Primetime Emmy Award winner Blythe Danner, who starred in films such as "Meet the Fockers" and "I'll See You in My Dreams," while her father is Bruce Paltrow, who was a renowned television and film director and producer.
Furthermor, Gwyneth and RDJ always had a close relationship on and off cam.
In a previous interview, the "Zodiac" actor revealed that his wife, Susan, and Gwyneth often organize family gatherings and make sure they see each other despite their crazy schedules.
"They're both, like, type-A, organized, and so Susan and Gwyneth organize our ability to stay close and keep our doors open to each other and be current with each other's lives and each other's kids," Downey said, per Mass Live.
Moreover, furing RDJ's 58th birthday, Paltrow shared a heartfelt post over her Instagram as she described him as her "brother, friend, and supporter."

President Petro Poroshenko has called on the UN Security Council to deploy peacekeepers to Ukraine "the sooner the better.
"Ukrainian blue helmets have participated in peacekeeping operations throughout the world. But, today we need the UN's peacekeeping shoulder too," he said in his speech.
He recalled that Russia's three-year-long aggression has cost Ukraine over 10,000 people killed, about 25,000 wounded and about 1.8 million internally displaced.
"If a tragedy of this scale does not require a peacekeeping mission, which one does?" he exclaimed.
"Let me confirm my request to the secretary-general to exercise his power in accordance with the charter and send a technical assessment mission to Ukraine," he added.
Its findings can be used to consider possible options for UN peacekeepers' presence in Donbas.
"A road to effective peacekeeping – and, eventually, to a settlement – lies through unconditional withdrawal of all foreign military personnel, mercenaries, their weapons and equipment from Ukraine. Moreover, reliable international control over the temporarily uncontrolled part of the Ukrainian-Russian border should be secured," he said.
He added: "We remain convinced that a full-fledged UN peacekeeping operation is the only viable solution to de-escalate, to protect people of Ukraine and to get us closer to a political solution. That is why the peacekeepers' mandate should cover the entire occupied area, including the Ukrainian-Russian state border. This is a must."
