Female artists display work

The Riverside Art Museum held a reception for the Women Artists of the Permanent Collection: Mid-Nineteenth Century to Present Day on Jan. 25.
While many students were not aware that an art exhibit was opening, the content of the exhibit peaked interest.
Ben Yuem, senior public relations major, had no idea that there was an art exhibit opening but knows about the Riverside Art Museum.
"I'm open to any type of art, so I would have gone. I like art; I've been to LACMA (Los Angeles County of Museum of Art). I would just go to see it," Yuem said.
The RAM wanted to showcase female artists, as they believe it is important to represent the minority in the arts, which is women.
Over forty female artists were featured in the opening showing of the exhibits. Artwork such as murals, performances, activist art and contemporary paintings were put on display for spectators to view.
The artwork was influenced from mid 19th century to modern day and gives insight into the minds and perspective of the world from the point of view of women.
Jessica Ford, senior visual arts major never really thought about women being a minority in the fine arts.
"I never really questioned women were a minority in the arts," said Ford. "Looking back at history, I think of all the famous artists who pushed boundaries, and they have all been men."
It is important to keep in mind that art is subjective in nature and is open to interpretation.
Yet, the importance of having an art exhibit solely dedicated to women's art is important to be shared. It allows a person to start to compare and contrast between different genders.
"As a female artist of fine arts, I do think it is important for students to be exposed to art that is done by female artists because both male and females have different things in mind when it comes to art," said Michelle Kern, junior visual arts major.
Entry to the museum is only $3 for students and educators with a valid school ID, otherwise the cost is $5 per person.
The exhibit has been extended until April 21 for art enthusiasts to better understand the role that women play in the art world and in society.
The RAM is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The museum is located

Our biogas plants and equipment are designed for various capacities and uses. For standard 2 m3/day capacity we offer "Sanjeevani" and "Sanjeevani-S". Both these plants take animal dung or crushed food waste as inputs and produce about 2,000 liters of biogas every day. The capacity is equivalent to about 1 domestic LPG cylinder (typically 14 to 15 kg) every month.
For all other capacities and substrates, we offer custom-design products. The range of capacities includes biogas generation of 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 3,000, 6,000 and 12,000 m3/day.
We supply not only the digesters, but also the ancillary equipment like H2S scrubber, CO2 scrubber, blowers, compressors, storage systems, dispensing systems, heat recovery systems, heating systems, fertilizer conversion systems, decanters, dryers, etc. as required for the solution being given to the customer.
The range of supply of biogas to electricity solutions is from 10 kW to 1 MW. All the components of the solution are provided with matching capacities.
It comprises the biogas digester system of the desired capacity, gas storage, biogas cleaning system to get rid of H2S from the gas, and the biogas genset. In the digester system, one may have a pre-digester or a feed mixing chamber or both. On the post-digester side, liquid from the slurry is separated and is recycled for feed preparation. It reduces the overall fresh water demand of the scheme. The digester itself may be temperature controlled and the input for the same could be given from heat recovery of the genset or from a solar heating system or from any other heat source as the case may be.
Agricultural waste: Maize, jawar, bajara, rice, sorghum, etc.
Industrial waste: oilcakes and de-oiled cakes, maize husk, starch effluent, etc.
Cultivated substrate: Napier grass, Elephant grass, Safflower, etc.
As seen from the figure in the link How it Works, after removing unwanted impurities, biogas can be used as engine fuel to generate electricity. If the purity of methane can be increased to over 90%, then the gas can be compressed to high pressures of over 200 bar and stored in cylinders. It can then directly replace CNG, even for vehicular applications.
The effluent from the biogas plant is in the form of slurry, called digestate. Liquid from the digestate can be separated by processes such as decantation or using simple techniques like a sand-bed filter. It could then be recycled into the biogas plant or can be used as nitrogen rich liquid fertilizer. The solid effluent is almost completely composted biomass. It can be used as manure. When minerals and micronutrients are mixed with the manure, it could be converted into fertilizer, which is a value added product.
Biodiesel is technically methyl or ethyl ester of fatty acids. It is derived from vegetable oils or animal fat oils. Biodiesel has physical characteristics and combustion properties closer to that of conventional "high speed diesel" (HSD) derived from crude oil; hence it could be used to directly replace HSD in engines. As the source of biodiesel is renewable, it can provide sustainable fuel. The emissions from these biodiesel engines are 20% to 50% lower as compared to those running on high-speed diesel. What's more, engines running on biodiesel do not emit any sulfur.
Biodiesel engines run smoother, have better combustion efficiencies due to extra oxygen in the fuel and can take any blend of biodiesel and high speed diesel.
We have developed a batch processing plant for biodiesel production. The plant is capable of taking multiple feedstocksWe provide specific feedstock based process optimization to customers. The typical capacity of the plant is based on 10 tonnes per day of feedstock which translates to about 11,000 liters of biodiesel per day on a two shift basis.
Balanced nutrition is the base for a healthy plant. Amongst the different constituents such as silica, phosphate, potash and nitrogen, phosphate is one of the significant nutrients. Phosphate forms a major part of nucleic acids and is an energy source for the plant. Root growth, yield and absorption of potassium, manganese and nitrogen in balanced form depend on proper absorption of phosphorus.
At present this need is fulfilled the world over by using chemical phosphates. Phosphorus can be utilized by plants only when it is in water soluble form. Other forms of phosphates are citrate soluble and insoluble. Over a period, citrate soluble forms of phosphorus get converted into water soluble forms and can be utilized by plants.
Depending on the pH of the soil, the water soluble part of the conventional chemical phosphatic fertilizers gets converted into an insoluble form soon after it comes in contact with substances like iron, aluminum, calcium, or magnesium salts in the soil. The process is known as Phosphate Fixation. Fixed phosphate, which cannot be utilized, creates phosphate banks in the soil. These banks will remain unutilized for years together resulting in non-fertile land. As a result, typically about 70-90% of the phosphorus gets fixed and only 10-30% can be utilized by the plant.
Organic Fertilizer helps overcome the phosphate fixation problem. The base of organic fertilizers is typically humus, which is compost manure. Some herbal extracts and mineral phosphate are added to it as nutrients for microbes and the plants. The Organic Fertilizer provides phosphorous to the plant over an extended period in smaller doses as necessary for healthy growth. The humus, presence of organic carbon and lower pH create favorable conditions to avoid the phosphate fixation process. Eventually 90-95% of the total phosphorus can be utilized by the plant for its nutrition.
The humus makes the soil porous and rich in microbes. It is also observed that continuous use of Organic Fertilizer can make available over time the previously fixed phosphate. On application of Organic Fertilizers, considerable improvement in yield even up to 25%, have been recorded.
Recent developments in the technology have opened the possibility of using food grain and vegetable waste other than dung for biogas generation. Even the waste cake that is left after extracting oil from seeds can be used to generate biogas. Interestingly, the gas output of this starch or protein based feedstock is multi-folds than that of the cow dung.

Air Guard dedicates Shepperd Hall at Andrews
JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md., – The Air National Guard unveiled the newest addition to its readiness center during a ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony here today.
The new addition is named "Shepperd Hall" in honor of retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Donald W. Sheppard, a former director of the Air National Guard.
"I accept this building for what it stands for, not me, not the name, but you, and all of you that made this possible," said Shepperd. "I am not wealthy, but because of what I've done, I am around the richest people on the planet."
The $52 million project, which broke ground in late 2007, includes administrative offices and a fitness center for 1,200 military members and civilians.
The Air Guard's main directorate offices were separated between Jefferson Plaza 1 in Crystal City, Va., and the Air National Guard Readiness Center at Andrews for many years. The expansion project puts an end to that.
The location here on Joint Base Andrews also provides enhanced force protection measures for the entire staff, which is required by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure law.
"This building was built because terrorists attacked our nation on Sept. 11, 2001 … this building was built, because we couldn't provide a secure work environment for those men and women of the National Guard downtown in Crystal City," said Air Force Gen. Craig R. McKinley, the chief of the National Guard Bureau.
"But, this building is symbolic in that we will go forward, we have a future … the National Guard will continue to serve this nation in both its federal mission and its state mission," he said.
Maurey Williams, the resident engineer on the Shepperd Hall project, said this building is state-of-the-art and achieved "Silver" certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
"It includes raised floor with vents to allow better air flow, fiber optic cable directly to workers desks for faster internet service, logarithmically timed shades that will reduce glare and the green house effect," he said.
The building also has a "green" roof, which will absorb rainwater and provide insulation.
Gov. Martin O'Malley of Maryland also issued a proclamation declaring Sept. 16, 2010 as "Air National Guard Readiness Center Day."

Microsoft Surface Pro 6 leak shows similar design, new Intel processors
By Michael Archambault September 26, 2018
tinhte.vn
Microsoft's next upcoming hardware event is scheduled for October 2 and the technology world is waiting for information about the company's latest Surface Pro. However, a recent leak from a Vietnamese website of the Surface Pro 6 means that we don't have to wait as long as we thought to get a closer look at the all new Windows tablet hybrid. The Surface Pro 6 has arrived earlier than expected and boasts some surprises that we weren't expecting.
In a recent roundup, we noted all of the most prominent rumors for the new Surface Pro — some of which have panned out, while others have fizzled. The Surface Pro 6 is by no means a massive overhaul, but instead, an interaction that has focused on upgrading its internals; this most likely concludes that the possible redesign we have heard about for 2019 is the Surface Pro 7 iteration, and not the upcoming Surface Pro 6.
Keeping the external design of the unit similar means the tablet has had merely a slight rounding of its edges and nothing more. When Microsoft introduced the Surface Go, it showed off a new redesign with rounded corners; the Surface Pro 6 doesn't seem to share the same design, but the smoother edges do show that the company's lineup may be moving in that direction at some point in the future.

Trên tay Microsoft Surface Pro 6 chưa ra mắt: thiết kế mềm mại hơn, vẫn không có cổng type C
Keeping with minimal external changes means that the leaked Surface Pro 6 doesn't sport a newer USB-C port. Microsoft has made the position clear that it doesn't believe the world is ready for a complete USB-C takeover, such as with Apple's new MacBook lineup, but it was rumored that the company might add a single port to the device. Users looking to take advantage of Thunderbolt speeds may need to wait for another generation for the opportunity.
On the inside, the new Surface Pro 6 is sporting Intel's latest eighth-generation processors, which offer more performance and higher energy efficiency for users on the go. Due to the power of the chips inside the unit, the Surface Pro has yet to drop its fans, needing the extra cooling for the powerful processors locked inside.
While previous rumors have also laid out evidence for a possible new Surface Pen, there have yet to be any sightings of the accessory. All in all, it looks like 2018 might be an exciting opportunity for individuals seeking to grab a power upgrade over their existing Surface Pros, but don't expect or want a complete redesign.

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review (PS4) (Video Review)
Wookie Cookie For the Soul
When TT Games released Lego Star Wars: The Video Game in 2005, they probably knew they had something special on their hands. More than a decade, 12 franchises, and 19 games later, the tried-and-true formula still proves that it has something new to offer in Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Sure, I have a huge nostalgia for Star Wars. Sure, I also have a huge nostalgia for Lego games. And yes, I do have a combined nostalgia for the other Lego Star Wars games. While that certainly played a role in my enjoyment of LSW: TFA, I believe that even the most jaded fans of Lego games can find refreshment in the latest installment of the series.
Let's address the white bantha in the room: this is a Lego game, so it was developed to pander to the lowest common denominator (Read: children). Frankly, this game is easy as all get-out. But purchasers of Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens aren't looking for a kick-your-teeth-in Dark Souls-esque experience; they want to break blocks and build blocks under the guise of witty and innocent humor. This game is exactly what it promises to be and nothing more: a fun and simple "Lego-fied" take on one of the most beloved movies of 2015.
The gameplay remains largely unchanged from former Lego games; you break stuff, you build stuff, and you mash the attack button a lot. That said, the developers did venture out into new gameplay territory with multi-builds, 3rd person combat, and spaceship combat. The multi-builds provide a small but substantial amount of choice to the player: Do I build a giant spider to take out the Stormtroopers, or do I build a popcorn machine to lure them out with buttery goodness? Fun little choices like this help to keep the game fresh while not altering the course of the entire game. The new cover-based 3rd person combat is an interesting addition, but it does grow stale after the first few sections. The shooting isn't nearly as competent as, say, Gears of War, and it essentially becomes a point and click shoot-em-up. Those sections didn't bore me, but they didn't exactly excite me either. What did get my blood pumping, however, was the addition of free flying space combat. Lego games have always had on-rails vehicle sections, but this time TT Games lets the player fly around in dogfighting matches that are sure to provide a thrill. They reminded me of the aircraft combat in the original Star Wars: Battlefront (2004). While these sections aren't terribly complicated, they gave an oddly authentic feel to the game. I legitimately felt like Poe Dameron while kicking some Stormtrooper butt; that's huge for the Lego series.
While the gameplay remained mostly unchanged from other Lego games, the aesthetic of the game blows its predecessors out of the water. Podcast Beyond cast member Brian Altano remarked that the game looked as though somebody took Star Wars Legos and played with them outside in the real world. I agree completely; TT games created legitimately beautiful backgrounds to set its playsets up in. Plus, there is just something so special in seeing your favorite characters in minifig form. Little BB-8 might be one of the most adorable characters ever, while Kylo Ren's teenage angst flows from his tiny plastic body. The music also plays a large role in the game's' aesthetic; John William's typically phenomenal score plays throughout the whole game. The developers did a marvelous job capturing the feel of Star Wars, comparable to the work DICE succeeded with in Star Wars: Battlefront (2015).
My favorite part of any Lego game is the quirky humor that emanates from each title. When the series made the jump to voice acting for Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes, I must admit that I was not a fan. I felt as though it took away the creativity of telling the story silently; limitations, after all, breed creativity. While the voice acting did allow for TT Games to more competently tell a brand new story, I wish they would have stuck to pantomime for stories that have already been told. In Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, they choose to stick with voice acting, and for the most part it works. While I would have enjoyed the silent style more, they did bring in Harrison Ford, Daisey Ridley, John Boyega, and Adam Driver to add original dialogue to the movie script. This allowed for many cheeky lines, such as when Han told Finn, "And remember, you don't have to wait for them to shoot first". Cute little nods like this are at the crux of Lego games; it is what gives the Lego games their soul. My personal favorite nod is one to both Harrison Ford and Indiana Jones: While running away from the Rathtars, Han Solo's hair falls off and he has to go back and grab it right before the door shuts. Ah, inside jokes that will go over most kids' heads!
For any trophy/achievement hunters, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be an enjoyable game to 100%. There are, of course, the classic "finish the level" and "collect all _____" trophies. I love a good collect-a-thon, and LSW: TFA does not disappoint. The trophies that intrigued me, however, were the silly ones that TT Games chose to include. There was one called "That's Miiiiiine"; you had to play as Unkar Plutt on the Millennium Falcon. Another trophy called "I like that wookie" required you to finish a level as Chewbacca and Maz Kanata. Little nods such as this are proof that the developers are passionate about the subject matter, and provide encouragement for the player to keep playing their game.
Ultimately, if you loved Star Wars: The Force Awakens, than Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a borderline must play. The only caveat to this statement is if you absolutely HATE Lego games; if that's the case, then this game will not do enough new things to persuade you otherwise. If the Lego games have grown stale for you, than I encourage you to give this one a try. While it does have very dumbed down puzzles and simple gameplay, the atmosphere, new gameplay sections, and giggles are sure to keep you engaged. I enjoyed my time with Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and I can't wait to get back to its blocky world.

Two Little Flowers: Ava's Memory Coins - Ta-Dah!
Ava's Memory Coins - Ta-Dah!
If you remember, I promised a 'big reveal' of these memory coins once I had finished them...well. They. Are. Finished. A month later. Yay!!
I used my new 12 colour pack of Posca PC-1M 0.7mm markers to colour them in. I already had a black one that I drew the outlines with.
If you know what you are going to draw, before you start, I would highly recommend laying your colour down first. I coloured around and over my outlines, then had to redraw the outlines because the colour kind of blocked the black out. So, some of the outlines are now a bit messy from double drawing. Also, try and be as clean as you can when you put colour on. Our coins looked pretty neat before polishing, but the polish really does show any stray dots of colour up quite a lot.
I used home made beeswax and olive oil polish to seal the wood...protecting it from dirty little fingers. It was super easy to make and it goes a l-o-o-o-ng way. There is enough polish left over to seal our dining room table and chairs! Which are unsealed/polished solid oak... It was easy-peasy to apply just using my fingers and then polished with an old dish towel.
This is all the polish that I used! The jar holds 1 1/4 cups of polish. I really should have made a lot less.
The polish recipe has tips about choosing your oil...well, I used the olive oil that we have in the house, which is Napolina Light & Mild. It has a very pale colour and is more yellow than green. The beeswax that I used is left over from some soap that I made and was white pellets. The ingredients contribute to the final colour.
There are 12 flowery designs, so 24 coins in total. As I bought something like 200 coins, there are plenty left over to to increase the difficulty.
I did the otherside, let it dry and then ironed it. The draw string is purple, unwaxed, shamballa cord which I threaded through the little casing with a needle.
One unfinished project finished - beeeeg tick!
hi there, i just stumbled across your lovely blog via my sister in laws butter and buntings blog. what a lovely spot you've got! loved the memory coins idea, you are very very clever!

Preview | Swansea City v Millwall
Swansea City host Millwall at the Swansea.com Stadium this evening (7.45pm) looking to record a first home win of the season.
The Swans will be looking to build on their first victory of the 2022-23 season on Saturday, when Olivier Ntcham's 87th minute finish sealed three points for Russell Martin's side against Blackpool.
The visitors are going in search of their first win on the road having lost both away matches this term, with a defeat at Sheffield United in the league and a 1-0 loss at Cambridge Untied in the Carabao Cup.
They have won both home matches with Saturday's win coming in dramatic circumstances as they fought from 2-0 down to beat Coventry City 3-2, with George Saville's 85th minute strike proving to be the matchwinner.
Jamie Paterson won't be available for the visit of the Lions. Assistant head coach Matt Gill confirmed the 30-year-old is progressing well with his rehab from a groin injury and may be available for Saturday's visit from Luton Town, but this evening's clash will come too early.
Liam Walsh is the only other injury absentee for the Swans as he faces a lengthy recovery from a ruptured Achilles.
PRE-MATCH VIEWS
Matt Gill: "It was nice to put on a good away performance, like we did at Rotherham, which could quite have easily been three points.
"It's good now to put that first win to bed and look forward.
'We're now really excited to be back home and have two games. It's an important week for us.
"We go into it with a little bit of confidence from Saturday. We need to make sure that we are ourselves at home and show that aggressiveness that we did against Blackpool.
"I think the performance is the most important thing. Hopefully, that will then lead to three points.
"It's down to us to show the energy on Tuesday night that we did on Saturday."
Gary Rowett: "Most teams find it a bit easier to play at home. Of course, they do. Most teams find it a bit difficult to create good away form, but we've got the squad to do that this year.
"We've got that resilience. We've got that mentality to go away from home and run and chase out those performances. Now we have to go and show it, don't we?
"We've got two tough ones coming up. I don't think the team can be judged until 10 away games.
"Swansea away and Norwich away are both challenging games, let alone on a Tuesday night and a Friday night, but we will certainly go to those games with a thin squad but with a little more confidence after the final 70 minutes of Saturday's game."
REMEMBER THE LAST TIME?
The two sides played out a goalless draw the last time they met at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Russell Martin's side had their chances, with Joel Piroe, Jamie Paterson and Michael Obafemi going closest; the latter seeing his effort clip the outside of the post.
Swansea again had the better of territory and possession, with long periods of control, but could not find a breakthrough.
Ben Hamer kept a second-straight clean sheet, and made two important saves during the closing stages as it ended all-square.
10 – Swansea's recent record in this fixture has been a good one. They've only lost one of the last 10 meetings, winning six of those encounters.
32 – Across the 54 meetings between the two sides, at least one team has failed to score on 32 occasions. This held true in the both matches last season. The home match ended in a goalless draw, while the Swans won the away fixture 1-0.


The Castle Lager Rugby Championship is an international rugby union competition featuring Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The competition is operated via a joint venture of the four countries' national unions, called SANZAAR. In 2018, New Zealand won the Rugby Championship for the sixth time after a 35-17 victory over Argentina in Buenos Aires.
The inaugural Tri-Nations tournament was held in 1996, and was won by New Zealand. The Springboks won their first title in 1998, and Australia their first in 2000. The first Castle Lager Rugby Championship was also won by New Zealand, who won all six of their matches in 2012, when Argentina joined the revamped competition. Since 1996, New Zeeland had won 13 championship titles, and South Africa and Australia both three.

We are delighted to be working with Katzenworld contributing to your knowledge on cats and offering some ideas on decorating your walls using murals and canvas prints featuring your beloved cat.
As you all must know, there are over 500 million domestic cats in the world. Cats and humans have been associated for nearly 10,000 years. That is a very long time if you ask me, which subsequently gives us more ammunition to have our walls and rooms decorated with their kind.
Let's start with your bedroom wall. Go through all the pictures you have of your cat or pets and find one where you were both cuddling up and turn it into a wall mural!
Did you know that the First cat in space was a French cat named FELICETTE (A.K.A Astrocat) in 1963? France blasted the cat into outer space. Electrodes implanted in her brains sent neurological signals back to earth. She survived the trip. Fancy that!
You can always replace the cat image with a personalized one from your own pet. This would be a great idea for your child's bedroom as well. Anything works when you put your mind to it!
Did you know that a group of cats is called a "Clowder" or "Glaring". Imagine all of them sitting in a row staring back at you with those illumines- crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk) eyes. Aren't they the cutest, most loving fury animals you could have on your walls? The simple fact that they bring a smile on your face every morning should pretty much give you enough reason to dedicate a wall in their honour.
We kept the best to last. Have you ever thought of decorating your walls with a collage of all your images into a shape of your cat or pet?
There are of course plenty design ideas on how to decorate your home or rooms with your pet animals however, if you ever get stuck, you can always contact us by uploading your image and our professional team will be sure to help you come up with a unique and tasteful artwork.
If you wish to obtain more ideas for decorating your walls then we have a huge selection for you to pick on. Simply visit the WOW wall or come follow us on social media. See you again soon!

Folke le Gros (), selon la Gesta Danorum du chroniqueur danois du  Saxo Grammaticus, il était le noble le plus puissant de Suède vers l'an 1100. Ce fait est confirmé par le fait qu'il avait épousé Ingrid Knutsdotter, fille du roi  qui est assassiné en 1086.

Folke et Ingrid, toujours selon Saxo, sont les parents de  Knut et Benedict Le chroniquer précise ensuite que Folke est le grand-père paternel de Birger Brosa, qui est encore en vie quand il écrit. L'Erikskrönika au  l'évoque comme « Folke Jarl [qui] était un homme illustre  ».

This statement may seem odd coming from the Newfoundland & Labrador Federation of Labour (NLFL).

Bloomfield vs. Albuquerque Academy: Live blog from our Daily Times game of the week
Steven Bortstein
New Mexico High School Football Statewide Scoreboard
BLOOMFIELD — Two unbeaten teams, homecoming night and more from Bobcat Stadium where the Bloomfield Bobcats host the Albuquerque Academy Chargers in our Game of the Week. Join us for live updates throughout the evening from this game as well as updates from other games across San Juan County.
9:33 p.m. — The final score from Bloomfield... Bobcats 35-ABQ Academy 21. Marc Armenta caught a TD pass late in the game for Bloomfield to pad the margin of victory a bit. Bloomfield improves to 4-0 on the season, the Chargers fall to 3-1.
This was a good win for Bloomfield, who will probably benefit from having a little adversity from this contest. The Bobcats will be on the road next Friday night to face Miyamura.
Other scores from around the area include: Farmington blew out Aztec 47-0. Piedra Vista is leading in the 4th quarter 28-7 over Kirtland Central. Bernalillo has a big lead over Shiprock, but I can't confirm the score. Will have more information on that one Saturday morning.
8:36 p.m. — I'm headed downstairs for interviews and such. ABQ Academy just turned the ball over and had an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty called on them. Bloomfield has the ball deep in Chargers territory with under 3 minutes remaining and leading 29-21. Will update the blog when I get back into town.
8:33 p.m. — Jeremiah Sandoval with the INT TD! Sandoval picks off the Rivera pass and returns it for a score, likely the game breaker with 3:59 left on the clock. After the PAT, Bloomfield goes up 29-21.
8:28 p.m. — Bobcats ran off only 2 1/2 minutes on the clock on that drive. Turnover on downs leaves it up to Bloomfield defense to come up big. They responded, blowing up on the Chargers offense, knocking them back 8 yards on the first play from scrimmage inside their own 20. 5 minutes left to play, Bloomfield 22-21.
8:22 p.m. — Bobcats defense stiffened early in the fourth quarter, forcing a turnover on downs at midfield with nine minutes remaining. Between running plays from Diego Snell-Martinez and a big pass downfield to Marc Armenta, the Bobcats are starting to drain the clock, still leading 22-21.
8:17 p.m. — FARMINGTON 54, Aztec 0. Final score.
8:07 p.m. — Both teams trade possessions that end in punts. Chargers start latest drive with 25 seconds left in third quarter at PV 49-yard line.
8:03 p.m. — Updates from other games. Piedra Vista leads Kirtland Central 14-0 approaching halftime, while Farmington all over Aztec 47-0 also near the end of the first half.
7:59 p.m. — Bloomfield takes the lead when ABQ Academy punter watches snap from center sail over his head into the end zone. Punter recovers and steps out, resulting in a safety. Bobcats take a 22-21 lead with 5:03 left in third quarter.
7:51 p.m. — Marc Armenta with a short TD pass from Ryan Sharpe gets the Bobcats back, but the PAT attempt hits the upright keeping the Chargers up 21-20 with 5:53 left in the third. The TD was set up two plays earlier after a big 30-yard run from Snell-Martinez put the ball on the Chargers 5-yard line.
7:45 p.m. — ABQ Academy retakes the lead with 8:30 to go in the 3rd quarter on a Cole Conway 4-yard TD score. PAT good. 21-14 Chargers.
7:40 p.m. — Here's your rundown.... Farmington leading Aztec 27-0 at the end of the first quarter. Piedra Vista leads Kirtland Central 7-0 midway through 2nd quarter.
7:11 p.m. — Halftime at Bobcat Stadium.... ABQ Academy 14, Bloomfield 14.
7:03 p.m. — They just got underway at Hutchison Stadium where Piedra Vista hosts Kirtland Central and at Fred Cook Memorial Stadium where Aztec hosts Farmington. We'll get some updates from there shortly.
7:02 p.m. Bloomfield coaches won't like that defensive pass interference penalty!!!
6:53 p.m. — Bloomfield drove right down the field, aided in large part by a big 35-yard pass play from Ryan Sharpe to Drew Perez that put the Bobcats in the red zone. The Bobcats scored four plays later when Diego Snell-Martinez caught a screen pass in the flat and ran in from 2 yards out. The PAT makes it 14-14 with 4:43 to go in the first half.
6:42 p.m. Tyler Wilson with his second TD catch of the night, a one-handed bobble caught at the goal line after a sharp pass from Rivera. PAT is good and ABQ Academy leads 14-7 with 9 minutes to go in the second quarter.
6:35 p.m. — END OF THE FIRST QUARTER, all tied up at 7. Bloomfield defense making some big hits, but not bringing down Charger skill players. After the early first quarter INT, Rivera has settled down nicely.
6:30 p.m. — Bloomfield started the game on defense, picking off a pass from Chargers quarterback Andres Rivera and scoring right away on a touchdown run from Jesse Seitzinger.
The Chargers answered right back, driving down the field and getting the payoff from Rivera to Tyler Wilson.
We're all knotted up at 7-7 with 2 minutes to go in the first quarter.
5:15 p.m. — All set up here in the pressbox for Bloomfield vs. ABQ Academy. Teams are on the field and stands are filling up fast.

Google and Salesforce are reportedly interested in acquiring Twitter
By Kyle Wiggers	 September 23, 2016
vdovichenko/123RF
If reports on Friday are to be believed, it won't be long before Twitter finds itself in the clutches of a cash-rich corporate overlord. According to Recode, Google and Salesforce have expressed interest in buying the beleaguered social network to the tune of billions of dollars. And the deal's moving fast — formal bids may be submitted in a matter of weeks.
Twitter's board of directors is spearheading the acquisition effort, Recode reports. It's seeking at least $30 billion, although the exact number is reportedly in flux. Conversations are "picking up momentum," the publication reported, and an announcement is expected "before year-end."
Rumors of a buyout drove the social network's stock price to record highs — it was up as high as 20 percent in morning trading — on Friday.
Twitter's suitors reportedly see as much value in its data as in its brand recognition. Salesforce and Google both stand to benefit from the social media network's fire hose of real-time information. Einstein, Salesforce's artificially intelligent management software that automates tasks with a combination of machine learning, natural language processing, and contextual analysis, requires vast amounts of data to calibrate. So, too, do Google's myriad artificial intelligence software — the search firm said that a single component of an image recognition algorithm requires "tens of thousands" of data samples.
Data isn't Twitter's only draw. It's focused concertedly on improving tools for businesses that interact with customers on the platform. Earlier this year, it rolled out a dedicated webpage from which spokespeople can directly message users and update hours of support availability. And in October, it partnered with Oracle, Sprout, and others to build "Twitter-based customer service products" capable of "search[ing] and surfac[ing] relationships between business and customers."
Ev Williams, former Twitter CEO and co-founder, spoke to the company's efforts at a Recode event last year. "In 2008 or 2009, before we monetized at all, we saw 1 million people sign up to follow Starbucks," he said. "Now it's a major source for customer service and marketing."
That momentum has unsurprisingly piqued the interest of Salesforce's higher-ups. The company commands an 18.4 percent share of the customer relationship management (CRM) market — far and away the largest of any firm in the category.
Twitter's strength in data and CRM doesn't discount its raw reach, though. The social network generates a deluge of 500 million tweets a day and attracts, on average, from more than 500 million users each month. Notable events occasionally boost those numbers to nearly inconceivable heights: During the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final, 618,725 tweets were sent in a single minute, and one of the most retweeted messages of all time — a selfie capture by comedian Ellen DeGeneres at the 2014 Academy Awards — was shared more than 3.33 million times.
For Google, which has repeatedly tried — and failed — to challenge social media incumbents like Facebook, that sort of built-in growth is likely attractive. One of the company's first forays into networking, the microblogging Google Buzz, was marred almost immediately by controversy: By default, it publicly disclosed a list of users' most frequently emailed contacts. Subsequent updates allowed users to disable that feature, but negative publicity generated by a string of class-action lawsuits, public condemnation from privacy groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission made the project untenable. In 2011, Google announced that it was shuttering Buzz permanently to focus on "future" efforts.
One of those efforts, Google+, went on to experience some success. Google's first fully featured social network offered, like Facebook, the ability to share photos, videos, events, and status updates with friends. It also allowed users to instantly text and video chat with groups of friends via the companion messaging app Hangouts. But its defining feature was Circles, communities organized around topics, friend groups, or family. In contrast to networks like Facebook and Twitter, which encouraged a public sharing, Circles conferred a degree of control — users could share updates to a particular group rather than every follower under the sun.
Despite Google+'s competitiveness, the platform never managed to gain traction — The New York Times reported that last year, roughly half of its 540 million active monthly users didn't visit or use it regularly. In subsequent months, Google attempted to reinvigorate the network's growth by integrating many of the social features of YouTube, its video-sharing website, but those efforts backfired: hundreds of thousands of YouTube users protested the requirement to create a Google+ account in order to comment on videos.
Google eventually reversed the change. Posting a comment on YouTube no longer requires a Google+ account.
In 2015, Google took a different, more palatable tact: a redesign of Google+ that emphasized Communities, or interest groups, and Collections, Pinterest-inspired web bookmarks of photos organized around a topic. But growth hasn't come. According to an analysis conducted by research firm Stone Temple, more than 90 percent of Google+ accounts have never made a single public post, and only between 4 million to 6 million people engage with any of the social network's content.
Google's other efforts have seen even less success. Orkut, a social media network designed to "help users meet new and old friends and maintain existing relationships," reached 100 million members at its peak.
Facebook, by comparison, has more than 1.55 billion active users.
Google's drive toward a platform with critical mass aligns with its bread-and-butter business: advertising. And in that regard, Twitter's a goldmine. In the past year alone, ad engagements — or every instance a user views or clicks on a sponsored post — grew 208 percent year-on-year. Twitter commands a 0.9 percent share of the digital ad market. And despite a second quarter with "less advertiser demand than expected," Twitter posted revenue of $602 million — largely derived from advertising.
But Twitter isn't without baggage.
Despite attracting more than 1.3 billion registered accounts and 313 million active users, Twitter has struggled to carve out a profitable niche in the social media fabric. It's been beset by disappointing earnings and stagnating growth, much of which its shareholders blame on an "intimidating" level of complexity. The network has attempted to make sense of its never-ending tweet flood with tools like Highlights, which curates a selection of the most important tweets of the day the day from your feed, and a "while you were away" feature that recaps tweets users might otherwise miss. And in September, it introduced the ability to submit tweets longer than 140 characters in length, a longtime frustration of new users.
Twitter has also made strides in ensuring users aren't quick to leave its pages. It recruited payments platform Stripe to launch a "buy" button within certain tweets — users can purchase products directly from on smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. It launched an ephemeral video platform in the form of Vine, and a live-streaming solution in Periscope.
It debuted Moments, a curated feed of newsworthy topics that lets users follow trending events, last year. And in July, it signed a deal with Pac-12 Networks to live-stream hundreds of college sports events — following a similar arrangement with the NFL. The network's other television partners include the CBS, NBC and Bloomberg, and it's reportedly negotiating with as many as 10 others.
But there haven't been fixes as quick in store for Twitter's other problems. Investors have pointed to the network's failure to stem hate speech and abuse as a major deterrent to its growth. Twitter so far has attempted to fix that problem with tools, most visibly in the form of automatic filters that use "signals … such as account origin and behavior" to automatically hide suspicious, abusive, and duplicate tweets. Separately, Twitter rolled out a toggleable "quality filter" last year that removed tweets identified as offensive or threatening.
Activists have so far been critical of Twitter's anti-abuse efforts — one, a former employee who spoke to BuzzFeed, called it a "honeypot for assholes." It's an image problem with which Twitter's new owner will have to contend.
It's too early to call a likely winning bidder, but Google appears to have a better shot. It announced a partnership with Twitter in May that saw real-time shares from Twitter added to a scrollable carousel in search results — the second such partnership between the two companies in the past five years. And perhaps more importantly, Google has the cash on hand to finance the acquisition — as much as $73.1 billion, by one estimate.
It would be a slightly more difficult bid for Salesforce, and would qualify as the largest acquisition in the firm's history, as well as a bit of a stretch: The company has made $4 billion in buys in the first six months of this year, TechCrunch reports, and has cash reserves around half of Twitter's current market capitalization.
The dust likely won't clear until later this year, when formal bids are expected to be announced, but there's potential for a shake-up. Recode reports that Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Disney, News Corp, Comcast, and Verizon have expressed acquisition interest at one point or another.

6. Other noteworthy issues related to tax credit fraud include
1) Claims for 2006 and 2007, the only year's information is available, listed over 30 funds investing a total of $731 million in over 100 business ventures and receiving $209 million in tax credits.
2) Because of the secrecy imposed on the tax credit programs, this report has been limited to three of the largest claims with the most obviously blatant claims and complete evidence obtained. Failure to last the required eligibility period is one key element of evidence of failure to qualify. This is beyond the typical failures found in venture capital investments, and some failures occur within less than a year's, while others never existed. These three funds filed for 2006 investments. Partial evidence from more recent years suggests false claims include a variety of other schemes.
3) Only the head of the Oklahoma Tax Commission and only two others in the commission ever see the "Confidential Tax Letter Rulings." The two others often questioned the"Letter Rulings." Still, they aren't allowed to see the actual claims filed after the investments supposedly occur. These tax commission officials deny access to everyone, including other state agencies and officials. The name that keeps appearing as signing tax credit documents is Tony Mastin, the Tax Commission Administrator, the highest career level position.
4) Oklahoma law does not restricted or prevent state officials (including legislators) from benefiting from these tax credit programs. Officials are only required to report business interest to the state Ethics Commission under the premise this allows the public to judge any effect of an official's business relationships. However, in this case, the public is denied information that would allow determining if an official was benefiting from tax credits.
5) An Oklahoma law passed in 2007 requiring the tax commission to disclose, on the website Openbooks the identities and amounts of those receiving tax credits. To defeat this requirement, the tax commission substitutes the identities and amounts of those using tax credits, thus allowing those wanting to keep their involvement secret of selling their tax credits to others to avoid revealing their involvement.
In addition, the tax commission omitted to report certain other tax credits, those labeled as (Rural) Small Business Venture that are issued tax refund checks. Only reporting tax credits used that are labeled (Rural) Small Business Capital.
6) To illustrate how obvious the fact the program is used to obtain tax credits and not for economic development; is found In one email secretly floated among investors, WPG solicited investors by offering to sell tax credits at half price.

Millennium 7 Publishing Co.: YOUR Effective Social Media Bragging?
YOUR Effective Social Media Bragging?
How to brag effectively on social media..
Compared with other areas of our social lives, we tend to brag far more on social media. For instance, few of us will stand on a neighborhood corner and proclaim how accomplished we are or how much we love our spouse. On Facebook, however, we have no qualms about routinely posting photographs of intimate family gatherings, foreign vacations, and fancy meals. And on LinkedIn, which is targeted to the professional domain, many posts start with "I am so proud of…," going on to boast about promotions, keynote speeches, awards, or other events demonstrating the poster's influence, status, or accomplishment.
What's more, many of us share boasts with hundreds or even thousands of social media connections, with little knowledge or concern about who's seeing them or what effect it has on them.
Despite the risk of negative effects, we can't help bragging on social media because, as psychologists have argued, bragging satisfies fundamental human motives of creating a favorable first impression with strangers, and building a positive image among those who know us. In our vast social media spheres, bragging is also a good way, or even possibly the only way, to attract attention.
Given that bragging on social media feels necessary in today's social environment, how should we brag to minimize its negative effects and maximize the benefits? In this post, I want to try and answer this question.
Bragging is inherently narcissistic, focused on embellishing and enhancing the boaster's identity. However, useful information accompanying such personal embellishment can blunt the edge of the boast. For example, as an academic, I may be thrilled when a research paper gets accepted for publication and may want to boast about it.
But I could do it in a way that states only the achievement ("So proud to get my paper accepted in XYZ Journal that only accepts 5% of papers it receives"). Or when boasting about the paper's acceptance, I could add details about what my research found and explain its usefulness. It's a boast either way. But in the latter case, it provides some value that the reader may benefit from.
But the problem with hyperbole is that it can also make the boast appear inauthentic and self-serving. The best way to deal with this problem is to make claims that are important to your self-identity.
Using myself as an example again, it makes more sense for me to boast about a research or teaching accomplishment because such claims support my core identity of "professor." Contrarily, boasting about completing an arduous hike or eating a gourmet meal in a swanky restaurant would be futile because these (hypothetical) behaviors are not central to my self-identity. What's more, they will also appear less authentic to my audience.
Another way to make your boast more authentic is to be careful about how specific and verifiable your claim is. Exaggeration is what differentiates bragging from what psychologists call "positive self-disclosure" or providing others with positive information about ourselves as part of building a relationship.
Obviously, there's a tradeoff between being totally accurate (and unremarkable) and exaggerating when communicating good news. Although exaggeration is more likely to get noticed, specific claims about accomplishments that are verifiable will contribute more to building your positive image, especially over the long haul.
What's more, the researchers found that men are more likely to make inferences of greater competence from others' bragging than women.
This study suggests that on a professional platform like LinkedIn where many individuals participate with specific goals of finding a job, a consulting engagement, investors, and so on, there are benefits to bragging about your capabilities instead of keeping a low profile.
So it makes sense that LinkedIn is chockful of braggarts.

News Jailed police intelligence chief: Erdoğan ordered us to investigate Oda TV
Jailed police intelligence chief: Erdoğan ordered us to investigate Oda TV
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
Former police intelligence chief Ali Fuat Yılmazer said in a hearing on Tuesday that it was then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan who ordered the police to investigate Oda TV, a case that led to the arrest of journalists Ahmet Şık and Nedim Şener in 2011.
During a hearing in a trial concerning the assassination of Turkish Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, Yılmazer raised the investigation into critical news portal Oda TV and claimed that Erdoğan instructed the police to get involved in the case.
Yılmazer expressed regret for following Erdoğan's apparently unlawful instructions and blamed him for not standing by those instructions.
"I did not do any work on Nedim Şener or Ahmet Şık. I did not even tap any phones," Yılmazer said in reference to the Oda TV investigation, claiming that it was famous prosecutor Zekeriya Öz who pursued the investigation into the journalists. Yılmazer asked the investigators why they did not go after the people in charge, in reaction to his imprisonment.
On Jan. 16, Yılmazer, who played a critical role in police intelligence units during the first two terms in office of then-Prime Minister Erdoğan, had said that it was Erdoğan himself who ordered investigations into two judicial cases known as Balyoz and Ergenekon, which are now called plots by the government.
The investigations, which dominated the domestic political agenda starting in 2008 and were aimed at holding the military bureaucracy accountable for unlawful actions as well as coup plots, had resulted in the trial of high-ranking generals amid complaints of irregularities and the unjust imprisonment of allegedly uninvolved people. Following the corruption investigations of 2013, in an effort to ally with the military and secularists, Erdoğan and his government called these investigations "plots" of the Gülen movement after the high court acquitted several convicts in the Balyoz and Ergenekon cases.
Yılmazer, who is accused of having links to the Gülen movement which is labeled a terrorist organization by the government, said during the hearing in İstanbul that even though the government calls those investigations "plots," it was Erdoğan himself who gave the order to the bureaucrats to pursue them.
Yılmazer was jailed following corruption probes implicating the Erdoğan government and is accused of having committed a range of crimes, from illegal wiretapping to involvement in the murder of Dink in 2007.
Denying any negligence that resulted in Dink's murder, Yılmazer said the authorities who were supposed to introduce better protection for Dink should be held accountable. Yılmazer was a unit chief in the intelligence department of the Ankara police force when Dink was assassinated by a teenager from Trabzon province.
Since the Gülen movement was accused collectively of having responsibility for controversial cases such as Erkenekon, Balyoz and Oda TV and the imprisonment of journalists due to the involvement of police chiefs and prosecutors who seemed close to the movement, some liberal sympathizers of the movement, mostly academics, criticized the support that the movement lent Yılmazer when he ran for office in the 2015 elections.

Why do new individuals show various features than our extinct primate ancestors such as the Neanderthal? And how come some species thrive and evolve, why many people are pressured on the brink of extinction? Evolution is actually a difficult routine that manifests more than time. Darwinian all-natural collection and Mendelian inheritance are crucial reasons to our comprehending of it. The existence of evolution is evidenced by ancient fossil records which is observable in present day occasions in addition, for instance, in the evolution of antibiotic resistance of microorganisms. Evolution may be the system of adaptation of the species around time so as to outlive and reproduce. What roles do collection and inheritance enjoy?
Charles Darwin is without doubt one of the founding fathers of recent evolutionary theory. His highly-respected analysis summarized in 'The Origin of Species'6, postulates a struggle for survival and natural collection, the place the fittest organisms survive and therefore the weakest die. The levels of competition for limited methods and sexual reproduction underneath affect of ecological forces make normal range pressures, wherever just about the most adaptable species, also known as 'the fittest', will put on health advantages about the mal-adapted and outcompete them by all those indicates. The health and fitness of the organism is usually outlined because of the true amount of offspring an organism contributes, regarding the volume of offspring it can be physically disposed to contribute.1-4 An often-cited case in point is usually that for the evolution of long-necked Giraffes from shorter-necked ancestors. As giraffes are feeding through the leaves of trees by stretching their necks to succeed in them, its apparent that an extended neck would be favorable within the battle of survival. But how can these alterations crop up to begin with? It truly is through mutations that variability is released right into a gene pool. Genetic mutations can alter the genotype and phenotype of a trait like the length on the neck of a giraffe. Mutations never arise being a reaction to healthy range, but are relatively a continual incidence." Pure range will be the editor, rather then the composer, for the genetic message."5 But not all mutations end up in evolution. Traits similar to a comparatively lengthened neck may very well be handed on from mum or dad to offspring in excess of time, constructing a gradual evolution from the neck size. Individuals that take place to generally be valuable for survival and so are really being selected on, are passed on and will persist from ancestors to modern-day descendants of a species.
Inheritance of genetic variation is an additional essential point in most cases acknowledged like a driver of evolutionary forces. As a way for evolution to take place, there has got to be genetic variation during the individual, on which all natural (and sexual) assortment will act. New evolutionary theory may be the union of two fundamental thought systems of Darwinian collection and Mendelian genetics. eight The discoveries of Gregory Mendel in molecular genetics have mostly displaced the more ancient design of blended inheritance. As per this model, the filial technology signifies a set indicate of your parents' genetic product. On the other hand, with modern day comprehension, this is able to render evolution implausible, as the obligatory genetic variation will be misplaced. Mendelian genetics, in distinction, proved the filial technology preserves genetic variability because of alternate alleles which might be inherited, certainly one of that can be dominant above another. That's why, offspring retain a established of genetic possibilities in the peculiarities in the mums and dads in the sort of alleles. The impact of Mendelian genetics on the evolution over a populace stage is expressed from the Hardy-Weinberg Principle', depending on the operate of Wilhelm Weinberg and Gotfrey Hardy. eight Two alleles on the locus represent two options to some gene. The Hardy-Weinberg equation is: P^2 +2qp + q^2 = 1 P^2 and q^2 are definitely the frequencies belonging to the AA and aa genotype from alleles A and a of the gene, respectively as have got to equal 1 or 100%. P certainly is the frequency of your dominant, q for the recessive allele. They identified a variety of things as essential drivers to affect allele frequencies in the gene pool of the population. The manifestation of evolutionary forces are usually expressed on the molecular amount to be a change of allele frequencies within just a gene pool of a populace over time. These aspects are genetic drift, mutation, migration and choice. The basic principle assumes that allele frequencies are and stay at equilibrium within an infinitely large populace from the absence of those forces and aided by the assumption of random mating. eight Allele frequencies in just a gene pool are inherently steady, but alter around time due to the evolutionary aspects included inside of the equation. The gradual accumulation of those on molecular level produce evolution, observable as speciation gatherings and evolution of species (genotype, phenotype).
Modern evolutionary principle involves various mechanisms in which gene and genotype frequency are impacted and just how evolution normally takes site over time. The two major motorists of evolution are pure range and also hereditary nature of genetic mutations that affect exercise. These define the manifestation of allele frequencies of several traits inside a population over time, consequently the species evolves. We could notice the character of evolution day by day, when noticing similarities amongst dads and moms and offspring in the process as siblings, or through the distinction of modern humans from our primate http://essaywhales.com/Services/response-essay-writing ancestors.


Months of heartfelt concern and dedicated work of the northern Polish city of Gdańsk's elderly residents resulted in 300 hats knitted for the Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
"One of us, an 88-year-old, did not know how to make hats so she knitted scarfs instead," said Mrs Anna Miękin – one out of the seven charitable elderly ladies. She herself made 111 hats on her own.
Mrs Miękin is an example of genuine selflessness. Regardless of being an elderly and handicapped person walking on crutches, she was dedicated to producing as many hats as possible.
Thanks to Gdańsk city hall, which provided the ladies with yarn, some Syrian refugees will now be able to make it through the nearing harsh winter.
The hats, and scarfs, colourful, striped, woolly and warm, were handed over to the Polish Centre for International Aid (PCPM) that will send them to Syrian refugees in Lebanon, which is also one of the key destinations of the NGO's charitable help.
According to the PCPM's website, the foundation brings relief to Syrians starting from 2012. The organisation stresses that tackling threats brought each year by wintertime is very difficult as help for refugees is still scant.
The NGO plans to revamp the refugees' tents with wind-resistant heat retaining sheets. "Our task is to help the poorest people left to their own device… The coldest months of January and February is when Syrian refugees receive no help. Lack of funds for winter aid is their death sentence," reads the PCPM website.
