2 dead after Colo. church van crashes in Oregon
By Joey Bunch | jbunch@denverpost.com and John Ingold | The Denver Post
A van carrying 16 people from New Life Worship Center in Federal Heights crashed in eastern Oregon this morning, killing at least two people and critically injuring several others.
Joshua John Pischura, 20, of Geneva, Ohio, died shortly after the crash, while Taune Nicole Winter Pepper, 23, of Deer Trail, died Thursday afternoon after being flown to a Boise, Idaho, hospital, authorities said.
All of those in the van, 18 to 22 years old, were studying to be ministers at the Federal Heights church.
Many of the passengers were ejected from the 2002 Ford van when it rolled off Interstate 84 near Baker City, west of the Idaho state line, about 5:30 a.m.
Seven were listed in critical condition at area hospitals.
Five people, four of them critically injured, were airlifted to a hospital in Boise, Idaho, and three were taken to a hospital in La Grande, Ore. Seven were treated and released from a hospital in Baker City.
The van carried nine women and seven men, according to the Oregon State Police.
"It was a mess," Baker City Fire Chief Jim Price told the Portland Oregonian newspaper. "There were people all over the place. There were some minor injuries, and a couple of those said they were wearing seat belts."
Black ice caused numerous accidents in the area Thursday morning, officials said. Temperatures were near freezing at the time of the accident.
Church leaders from Federal Heights were en route to Oregon on Thursday afternoon, officials said.
Church spokeswoman Christy Gimer said about one-third of the students were from Colorado, and the others were from other states, including Florida, Utah and Texas. One student was from Iraq, she said.
"It has been very devastating," Gimer said, "not only to the families of the victims but to our church family, as well."
The students had traveled about 950 miles when the van crashed.
Gimer said the group was on its way to a conference in Portland to earn money working as ushers and doing other tasks. They were to be gone one week, she said.
The students are part of a nine- month training program, called Rocky Mountain Masters Commission, at New Life Worship Center.
She described the New Life Worship Center as a church facility where students live in dorms, take classes and earn their minister's license. She said 10 students didn't make the trip to Oregon. Grief counselors were being provided to those students.
A fund to help the victims and their families has been established at North Valley Bank at 8410 Umatilla St. in Federal Heights.
A vigil was scheduled at the church Thursday evening.
The Rev. John Privett of the Baker City Church of the Nazarene told The Associated Press that he was putting up seven survivors in his home and that local people had donated food, medicine and clothing.
"They are all pretty shook up," Privett said. "These guys are grieving and cried all day."
"There are broken legs and bones, backs, ankles, elbows," he added.

Did you know the word "scalp" is actually an acronym for five layers of tissue?
The skin layer is relatively thick and contains hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and apocrine sweat glands.
The connective tissue layer has a dense, collagenous mesh interwoven with nerves and blood vessels supplying the scalp.
The aponeurosis layer contains the occipitofrontalis muscle and its investing fascia anteriorly and the occipitalis posteriorly. The skin, connective tissue, and aponeurosis essentially form a unit.
The loose areolar connective tissue layer separates the superficial three layers (skin, connective tissue, and aponeurosis) from the underlying pericranium. This layer also contains emissary veins (with no valves) which can serve as a conduit for infection through the scalp, and it also serves as a plane for dissection during surgery.
The pericranium is the periosteal layer of the skull where fibrous tissue anchors into the cranial sutures.
I would also note that the aponeurosis is also called the galea.
Yep! Thanks for the comment!
8 years ago my patient has been in crainiotomy surgery first and second surgery wasn't successful until the dr.decided to remove the parts of he's skull then COVER it by hes skin taken from.part f he's body .3rdsurgerjy was completely done and successful.
But,now he felt sometimes pain and a sweet but the hair still continues growing up. I was amazed when the hair still grown up because the skin taken fr.other parts of the body.
Doc.rish could you tell us how it comes the skin attachment to the skull stiill growing up.?


The after party of Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor's reception was the wildest and craziest one we have ever seen as many celebrates seemed to have fun together.
But what we enjoyed the most was Ranveer Singh's fast-paced dance steps on a folk song. Yes, you read it right. A video of Padmaavat actor Ranveer Singh surfaced on social media where he can be seen showing his moves on the famous Dama Dam Mast Qalandar.
We just can not get enough of his moves! Here is another video of Ranveer dancing on the same song.
Ranveer Singh on the Dance Floor.
The actor can be seen thoroughly enjoying himself at the party and dancing like there is no tomorrow.
We can totally say that Ranveer did justice to the song with his perfect steps and after watching the video all I wanted to say is "Dado Mazo Ayo". For our non-Sindhi folks, it means, "We enjoyed alot".
There is yet another funny video of the actor where he is carrying the groom Anand Anuja and going round in a circle.
Ranveer Singh added an extra charm at cousin Sonam Kapoor's reception party!
Did Ranveer Singh made you dance with his moves? Let us know in the comments section below.

Duterte hits drug war critics
Duterte says he will continue his war on drugs despite pressure from international human rights groups and other institutions
Rappler (Philippines)
President Rodrigo Duterte blasted his critics who allegedly turn a blind eye on crimes in the country while supporting "Western experts" who have condemned his bloody drug war. The President was referring to international human rights organizations and institutions that have called him out over alleged human rights violations in carrying out his war on drugs, one of the topics he discussed in his second State of the Nation Address (SONA). This tirade comes 4 days after US lawmakers held a hearing on human rights complaints against his administration – the latest action from the international community in connection to his drug war.

Getting to know PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0
Urbanus
Tag:PCIe, PCIe 3.0, PCIe 4.0
When referring to PCIe interface or slot, we usually meet the products with saying PCIe 3.0 or PCIe Gen3 in their spec chart. What does it mean?
In fact, PCIe has been through several generations from first generation to the new generation 6. (Yes, only weeks after the release of the PCIe 5.0 standard, PCI-SIG announced they were already hard at work in developing the next PCIe standard)
So PCIe 3.0 or PCIe Gen3 just means nothing but the third generation of PCIe. The main difference of every generation is about speed. Just as the below chart shows, PCIe 3.0 x16 can reach the speed up to 128Gb/s.
10Gtek's NVMe SSD Adapter : NV95NF
10Gtek's NVMe SSD adapter series meet PCIe 3.0 generation standard. For NVMe SSD's read and write speed, our NVMe SSD adapter literally meet the requirement. For example, NV95NF is the NVMe SSD adapter for carrying up to four M.2 SSDs. According to our test report, this NVMe SSD's read/write speed could reach up 3127MB/s and 2483MB/s, as shown below test figures.
PCIe devices are forward and backward compatible, therefore a PCIe 3.0 SSD will still work on a PCIe 4.0 motherboard and conversely a PCIe 4.0 SSD would work on a PCIe 3.0 motherboard (following a software update), with performance limited by the weaker component.
At last, let's talk about the future PCIe Gen5. PCIe 5.0 products are expected to be available in 2020 and will have double of bandwidth (512Gb/s for a x16 slot) of PCIe 4.0 as well as other technical enhancements.
However, given that x16 of PCIe 3.0 is currently sufficient for the majority of users, demand for PCIe 5.0 in the near future will mostly be driven by super users and data centres, and will co-exist alongside PCIe 4.0 devices.

Facebook is building its own TV app to work with set-top boxes like the Apple TV, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The app would give Facebook a way to encourage its users to watch longer videos, a goal the company has already signaled in conversations with content creators and recent tweaks to the Facebook News Feed.
The move further evidences the platforms duo aim of increasing the amount of time users spend on the site and giving brands other routes to tap the expanding pool of engaged users.


Hello, I am a 16 year old student who earns around $450 a week as part time, switching to full time soon.
is it possible that I can go on a mobile contract plan or do I still have to be 18+ to go on one?
That's a pretty good income at 16, well done!
But unfortunately the answer is no. You can't legally sign a contract until you're 18 in Australia.
Any chance your parents/older sibling/good family friend would be up for putting it in their name?

Top O aide 'didn't want' job
By PageSix.com Staff
April 10, 2011 | 4:00am
Peter Orszag Kris Connor/Getty Images
Peter Orszag, who ditched his White House post as director of the Office of Management and Budget last June, now claims he never wanted to take the job in the first place. "I didn't want to do it," he tells New York magazine in the issue hitting stands tomorrow. "Having worked in a White House before, I knew how the infighting can become all-consuming, and I didn't want to fall into that trap again. Many of my mentors warned me that despite the 'no-drama' Obama campaign, once in office, this White House would inevitably be like others — and possibly worse. And unfortunately that's exactly what happened." Orszag, the first of President Obama's appointments to resign, left the job several months after The Post first reported on his own family drama: He dumped his pregnant girlfriend, Greek shipping heiress Claire Milonas, before getting engaged to "Good Morning America" correspondent Bianna Golodryga. Orszag now serves as a chairman at Citigroup.

When you have structural walls and partitions intersecting in your model, it is important to get their intersections looking correct. Revit will always try to join your walls together and usually the resulting intersections is shown correct graphically, in the case of structure and partitions this is where the 'Disallow Join' tool can give you a preferred result.
The example below indicates graphically when the walls are automatically joined and when the partition has had the 'Disallow Join' applied.
To use the 'Disallow Join' just select the wall and right-click on the dot at the end and you will have an option to 'Disallow Join'.
You will notice that the intersection of the joined walls results in a change in line weight of the structural wall at the intersection, this is not desirable.
When the partition has had the 'Disallow Join' the structural walls line weight is continuous and graphically gives the desired result.
So, the moral is to always check the graphical output of your model and don't settle for what Revit applies automatically.

Meridian Township Reopens 7 Sexual Assault Cases
Published May 3, 2018 at 6:11 AM EDT
Scott Pohl
WKAR-MSU
A Lansing area police department that says it mishandled a complaint against Larry Nassar has reviewed 17 years of sexual assault complaints. Nassar is the former sports doctor who will spend decades in prison for sexually assaulting his patients.
The township has taken a hard look at how it handles sexual assault complaints over the last few months. That's after Township Manager Frank Walsh and the police department publicly apologized to Brianne Randall-Gay. She's a survivor of Nassar who filed a complaint with the police department in 2004, but the case never went to the prosecutor's office for review.
After the apology, the Meridian Township Police Department said it would review all of the sexual assault complaints it received from 2000 to 2017 – almost 600 of them. Of that 600, over half had already been taken to the prosecutor's office for review. When it comes to the rest of the cases, most will stay closed for various reasons – like death of a suspect or DNA exoneration. But seven will be investigated further and possibly sent to the prosecutor's office.
"I've got seven cases out of nearly 600, I'm two short of 600," said Meridian Township Assistant Chief Ken Plaga. "It's like one percent. In my opinion it's still one percent too many."
Along with the investigations, the department has also amped up its trainings for officers on sexual assault cases.
"No one takes preventing sexual assaults more serious than Meridian Township and we're going to continue to strive to improve and be a model for the state," said Walsh.

Evernote is a cloud-based application available for multiple platforms. It allows remodelers to capture information, organize the content for future reference, access the data from almost anywhere, and share your information with other individuals or a group. Here are 12 ways the program can improve the professional and personal life of a remodeler.
you save something at the office and not be able to access it from your home or when you are on the road.
initial meeting with your client, then add for each meeting, design meeting, and jobsite visit. Later, you can share them with others on your team.
3. Stop collecting business cards and throwing them in a drawer. By using the Business Card Scanner in the Evernote app on your phone or tablet, it allows you to scan the card using your camera and import the information into your contact list and keep a searchable copy in Evernote. It will also connect with LinkedIn to capture more information.
4. Collect searchable notes for future reference. Some examples are: home repair ideas/receipts, business records, personal records, receipts, model numbers for replacement water filters, air filters, office supplies list, printer cartridges, medical records, license plates, auto maintenance schedule, part numbers, family info, and birth dates. Gather receipts from a business trip for reimbursement, collect tax info, scan in warranties, and attach receipts for key purchases.
5. Use your Evernote email address to email documents to file for reference. You can title your note, designate a notebook, add a tag, and add a reminder in the subject of the email. The beginning of your subject line will automatically become the title, @ designates a folder, # tags it, and ! with a date creates the reminder.
6. You can create checklists. Are there things you do consistently that reduce the possibility of making a mistake or forgetting something? It could be as simple as a daily focus checklist, a packing list for travel, or checklist for due diligence on a project start up or close out. Create a to-do checklist, goals list, reading list, home repair list, grocery list, a daily/weekly/monthly/annual review checklist, great places to travel/eat checklist, a bucket list—you get the idea.
7. Collect items for a meeting, presentation, design ideas, or even your own home improvement project. Simply tag them with the name you choose, and you can then sort the tags by name and put them in date order.
8. Capture audio. Sometimes it is just easier to record a quick audio message on Evernote's audio function as a quick memo to yourself. You can also record an interview, a class, or dictate a message.
9. Use other Evernote apps. PDFpen will allow you to edit, fill out, or sign PDFs. Use Skitch to capture, mark up, and share drawings, pictures, or PDFs. Use Evernote Web Clipper for capturing web articles to read in the future or capture information from research on websites for future reference. Save it to Evernote then tag it with the project so it can be searchable in the future. DocuSign mobile app lets you sign documents and get signatures. Penultimate allows you to take handwritten notes and sketches on your tablet. Partnering with Moleskine, a notebook feature was created so you can take handwritten notes. There is also an option to share the entire page or just the top section with your team while keeping notes for you at the bottom.
10. Capture your inspiration using Evernote with the Post-It Note function for future reference. Whether it is just a single note or you are laying out a PowerPoint or a project, take a picture of your Post-It note in Evernote, and you can save and search them within the app.
11. Evernote for Business allows you to share key information among your team. Your employee handbook, reimbursement policy, leave policy, or any form of document you want, you can share with a touch of the button. You can create workgroups to share documents with a group of employees (for example sales team or design team) and you can share with just individuals. You can create, update, and publish the comments.
12. Journaling. Keep track of your successes, your challenges, or what you want to do tomorrow; capture great ideas you have and what you want to stop doing. Review it periodically and take action on the opportunities.
Premium allows you to access all your folders online or offline, search all your documents by keyword, and it increases your storage amount to 1 GB per month/12 GB a year along with a few other features for either a small monthly or annual fee.

console.log(get4().map(a => a.join(' ')));

with this code I can find a 4 digits that his sum is 10, with little numbers works, but if a try with bigger numbers, the function crash, I mean, the browser not execute it.
my problema is with this data
length = 493
the sum is = 42990
and the values are = [500,400,300,200,100,90,80,70,60,50,40,30,20,10,5]
how can I improve this code? if you have another solution in other language, it would also help me.

A: You could:

// comments removed for simplicity
function combinationSumRecursive(
  candidates,
  remainingSum,
  finalCombinations = [],
  currentCombination = [],
  startFrom = 0,
) {
  if (remainingSum < 0) {
    return finalCombinations;
  }

  if (remainingSum === 0) {
    finalCombinations.push(currentCombination.slice());

    return finalCombinations;
  }

  for (let candidateIndex = startFrom; candidateIndex < candidates.length; candidateIndex += 1) {
    const currentCandidate = candidates[candidateIndex];

    currentCombination.push(currentCandidate);

    combinationSumRecursive(
      candidates,
      remainingSum - currentCandidate,
      finalCombinations,
      currentCombination,
      candidateIndex,
    );

    currentCombination.pop();
  }

  return finalCombinations;
}

function removesDuplicatesAndNon4Length(arr) {
  return arr.map(x => [...new Set(x)]).filter(x => x.length === 4);
}

const tempResp = combinationSumRecursive([1, 2, 3, 4], 10);
const resp = removesDuplicatesAndNon4Length(tempResp);

console.log(resp);

Note: This is a Combination Sum Problem version modificated for this specific program.

4/20. This simple combination of numbers has become an iconic code within a worldwide community of marijuana advocates. As a time of day within these sub-cultures, the row of numbers signals a meaningful time to sit back, spark up a joint and relax with some laughing friends or syncopated music. In the yearly calendar 4/20, or April 20, is the marker of the worldwide 'holiday' when cannabis enthusiasts come together to celebrate the herb as a recreational substance and medicine – or to rally behind it in the face of prohibition and governmental suppression.
There are layers upon layers of myths and rumors surrounding and shrouding the reason as to where 4/20 originated from and how it took off to become recognized by people worldwide. Is it an old police dispatch code for pot smoking antics? Is it the estimated amount of active chemicals within the herb? These are two of the most common explanations put forth.
Reporters over at the Huffington Post conducted extensive research into the origins of the springtime event and came to the conclusion that it all started with a group of young athletes who happened to have an appetite for cannabis. They would arrange to meet up after class hours outside of San Rafael High School in central California at precisely 4:20pm to hunt for an abandoned marijuana crop growing at Point Reyes Peninsula. Failing to find the rumored reefer, the group, who gave themselves the name "The Waldos," then adopted the numbers into their clan as a code word for cannabis and activities revolving around the herb.
As fate would have it, the story then unfolds with The Waldos hanging around the Dead's rehearsal rooms, eventually forming a bond with the band members. This led the now-universal code to ride the fame of the legendary band, appearing in places like concert flyers messages like: "We are going to meet at 4:20 on 4/20 for 420-ing in Marin County." Little did The Waldos know that what started out as a small clique's code word would become an instantly recognizable symbol and internationally celebrated day.
From its humble roots, 4/20 has germinated, grown and blossomed into a global day of appreciation for the cannabis plant. In countries and states where the controversial weed is tolerated and accepted either medicinally or recreationally, gargantuan gatherings take place. For example at the University of California, Santa Cruz (where cannabis use is legal for anyone with a medical card and its use is an official "lowest priority" for local lawmakers), a massive demonstration takes place annually as it has for decades.

Thousands of university students, alumni and others unite in a meadow on the redwood-forested campus and let fly a massive plume of marijuana smoke at 4:20pm. The event is a celebration of the herb, a statement in the name of freedom of consciousness and a giant middle finger pointed at prohibitionist policies. And, in states where cannabis is already legal for adult use and easily available, such as Colorado, Washington and Oregon, huge festivals take place statewide where pillars of smoke rise high above free concerts and gatherings.
However, in other states and countries across the world, 4/20 is more of a call to action and a rally for justice than it is a celebration. Many people throughout the world who either seek to use cannabis as a recreational substance risk-free or rely upon its medicinal value to ease symptoms and assist disease are still restricted by law from doing so. In these locations 4/20 becomes an opportune moment to raise awareness of the mass marijuana support brewing amongst the people. It is a day for the voices of thousands of passionate activists and patients to make themselves heard, loudly and clearly.
In the United Kingdom (UK) cannabis is currently a Class B substance and possession alone can result in up to five years imprisonment, an unlimited fine or both. Despite these great personal risks, those within the country who believe these laws to be unjust rally in an act of open civil disobedience to smoke and eat cannabis in huge quantities. They do so in support of the scientific research that highlights the therapeutic effects of cannabis and which renders such laws hypocritical, and they do so in the name of patients seeking access to this powerful medicine.
Reset.me payed a visit to London, England on this year's 4/20 weekend where an annual meet up and smoke out occurs in Hyde Park — one of the city's most iconic open spaces. As the medicinal uses of cannabis becomes increasingly well known in England, public popularity of the plant has sky rocketed. As evidence of this trend, the number of attendees at the Hyde Park 4/20 event is growing exponentially every year. This year more than 10,000 people attended.

Police officers dotted the edges of the crowd and the entrances to Hyde Park, observing the demonstration but allowing the open civil disobedience to continue relatively unhindered. Huge LED message boards stating the legal status of cannabis were strategically placed by the main entrances to remind people they would be breaking the law if they chose to smoke, and those who strayed too far from the main crowd, on occasion, became the target of sniffer dogs, resulting in more than 50 arrests.

Many different factions of the cannabis reformation movements within the UK met and merged in the park in an attempt to spread awareness for cannabis medicine, the many uses of industrial hemp and the warped draconian laws that still send people to prison for cannabis.
NORML UK, which works to reform cannabis laws in the UK, organized this year's main 4/20 event. Another key player at the event was the United Patients Alliance, an organization founded in 2014 by Clark French, a multiple sclerosis (MS) patient and medical cannabis activist whose symptoms were greatly relieved by cannabis after conventional methods fell short.

When asked about the reasons for the continued illegality of cannabis within the UK, despite studies reflecting it's medicinal effectiveness, Liebling said he thinks the interests of big pharmaceutical companies plays a significant role. "I think there are two ways of reviewing that analysis, one of them obviously being a financial one," he said.

Our conversation ended perfectly in time with the clock striking 4:20pm. The crowd emitted a booming cheer as hands reached into pickets for lighters and joints. The air grew thicker than before with the potent smell of burning cannabis. The police continued to stand passively at the sidelines.
The Hyde Park event was a small reflection of thousands of events bringing cannabis communities into unity worldwide on a date which now represents the ideals of freedom of choice, freedom of medicine and personal cognitive sovereignty.

Vinyls can generally be manufactured in one of two ways, i.e. by calendering or by casting.
The molten resin is squeezed between a series of rollers to produce a film of vinyl. Due to the mechanical method of manufacture, the PVC has a built in memory and will attempt to return to its original form, which in turn may lead to film shrinkage.
PVC in its 'natural' form is a rigid material, so additives known as plasticisers have been added to soften the film and make it usable. Other additives have to be included to stabilise against the effects of heat and UV and to add colour, etc.
There are two different types of plasticisers currently used which sub-divide the calendered vinyls into distinct groups. Monomeric and Polymeric. Both types of calendered films perform slightly different in one direction than the other, i.e. in machine direction and cross machine direction.
In this case the plasticisers used are short-chain, which means that they do not bind into the film particularly efficiently and have a tendency to migrate out of the film itself, leaving the film brittle. These films are generally 80-100 micron thick and are prone to shrinkage. They are also quite stiff and hard on blade wear.
Generally they have an expected outdoor life of 3 years for black and white and 2 years for colours. They are available in a range of matt and gloss finishes and are economically priced.
They are suitable for most internal applications and selective short term external applications. They are barely conformable over contours and are recommended for flat-sided applications only.
These are sometimes also known as stabilised films or extended life films. The plasticisers used are long-chain, which allows them to bind into the film more efficiently, reducing the migratory effect. These films are generally 60-80 microns thick and are far less prone to shrinkage than the monomeric range, typically 50% less.
They feel softer and generally have an outdoor life expectancy of 7 years for black and white, 5 years for colours and 3 years for metallic colours. Available mainly in gloss finish, although translucents and some matt finishes are available. They are suitable for most external applications, but conformability over complex contours is still somewhat limited.
The liquefied resin is coated onto a highly polished substrate, such as casting paper to produce a thin film of vinyl. Due to the lack of mechanical force being used, cast films do not have the same memory as calendered vinyls and the resulting shrinkage is minimal, typically 50% less than polymeric films. These films are generally 50-60 micron thick and have a very soft handle.
Generally they have an expected outdoor life of 10 years for black and white, 7 years for colours and 5 years for metallic colours.
Available in mainly a high gloss finish, these films are the ultimate in terms of conformability over contours such as rivets, corrugations, etc.
Due to the film construction, these vinyls can be cut and weeded in finer detail than the calendered films. Generally all the ingredients used in the production of cast vinyls are of the best quality and so the performance in terms of temperature ranges, colour fastness, etc. is better than the calendered films. Cast films perform equally well in both directions, i.e. in machine and cross machine direction.
In the signage market, manufacturers generally standardise on acrylic adhesives for external, permanent applications and the adhesives are formulated to be compatible with the life expectancy of the face film being used.
Rolls should be stored on end, to avoid pressure marking. Extremes in temperature and humidity should be avoided. High temperatures can lead to adhesive bleed, causing problems with the sprocketed material in particular, whilst humidity may cause problems with the backing papers, such as curl, etc. All self-adhesive vinyls should be allowed 24 hours to acclimatise to workshop temperatures and humidity levels, before usage.
An ideal storage condition, recommended by most manufacturers, is 15°C - 25°C and at 50% relative humidity. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or near heaters. Keep the rolls off the floor, as dampness from the floor may be absorbed into the backing paper.
Ensure the depth/pressure setting of the plotter blade is correct for the vinyl being used. Not cutting deep enough will create difficulties in weeding the waste matrix. Whereas cutting too deeply into the siliconised backing paper, may cause delamination of the paper onto the adhesive side of the vinyl when removing the cut lettering from the backing paper. It is always recommended to test cut the vinyl, by producing some lettering in the same size as the finished work.
Cutting the vinyl, then leaving for some time before the weeding process, may lead to difficulties in weeding the waste and removing the lettering. These problems are caused by the adhesive flowing back and are especially noticeable in warmer conditions. Cold conditions may cause the face of the film to harden and become brittle. This in turn can cause the blade to skid across the surface and cause the film to break when weeding. We would recommend using a new blade in cold conditions and to allow the film to acclimatise to room temperature.
Weeding in the process and the name given to the removal of the waste matrix, prior to the transfer of the cut lettering. Tweezers and scalpels are the most common tools used for weeding. To begin the process, start at one corner and work across the image in short diagonal movements, usually in a right to left direction.
After the waste matrix is weeded away, the cut lettering has to be transferred accurately from the backing paper to the finished substrate, using application tapes to achieve this successfully. As a general rule, matt finished vinyls require a higher tack application tape than a gloss vinyl, and smaller images require a higher tack tape than larger ones.
Apply the application tape smoothly to the weeded image, avoiding wrinkles and bubbles wherever possible. Squeegee the application tape down using a plastic applicator. Start from the centre and work outwards - follow a pattern similar to the 'Union Jack'.
Turn the vinyl over, so that the application tape is facing down on the bench and the backing paper is facing upwards. Remove the backing paper, starting at one corner and peeling back diagonally at an angle of 180°.
To remove old lettering, use a heat source, i.e. a hair dryer or heat gun, to soften the vinyl, then strip the vinyl slowly off the substrate. This tends to leave a residue of adhesive on the substrate. Using adhesive remover, spray the adhesive residue and let it penetrate for 30-60 seconds. Use a squeegee to remove as much of the adhesive as possible. Spray adhesive remover onto a rag or paper towel and wipe the area clean. Finally clean the entire area with water and detergent then degrease as detailed below. Use Rapid Remover adhesive remover.
Can be used on most surfaces, but avoid use on latex printed surfaces, styrofoam or styrene surfaces.
Always test the area first.
The substrate must be free from grease, dirt and foreign matter before application. The safest and easiest way to clean and degrease the surface is to use Rapid Prep, a non-toxic, degreasing agent that removes most waxes and silicones. This will thoroughly degrease the surface in preparation for the application of the vinyl graphic.
There are two basic methods of applying self-adhesive vinyls, depending on the size/complexity of the image and difficulty of the substrate. In all cases, ensure that the sign is applied above the minimum recommended application temperature, i.e. most good self-adhesive vinyl manufacturers recommend the range of 15°C - 25°C as the ideal temperature for the application of self-adhesive vinyls.
Dry Application - used in the majority of cases.
Before commencing, establish exactly where the sign is to be located, then tape the sign into position using small pieces of masking tape. Use 2" masking tape to create a hinge - half the masking tape on top of the sign and the other half on the application surface. Squeegee the masking tape hinge firmly into position.
To apply, lift the sign away from the surface and fold back on the hinge. Peel off about 6" of the backing paper then lower the sign, keeping the adhesive away from the application surface. Starting at the top in the centre, squeegee down and outwards towards each edge in turn. Remove another 6" of backing paper and keep repeating the process, using overlapping strokes, until the sign is completely applied (for large pre-spaced signs, do as above, but slit between each letter, so that every letter can be applied individually). Now carefully remove the application tape, diagonally at 180°.
Air bubbles can be removed by puncturing the bubble with a pin, then squeegee the trapped air towards and out of the puncture. Finally re-squeegee the sign, paying particular attention to the top and leading edges. If the sign is long and narrow, the same procedure can be adopted with the hinge on the edge of the sign, instead of the top.
Wet Application - used to apply large or multi-coloured images to difficult substrates, i.e. convex or concave curvatures. Also recommended for application onto glass surfaces.
One of the secrets of good long term application is to have optimum contact of the adhesive to the surface. Any gaps between the adhesive and the surface will inevitably, through time, lead to adhesive failure.

The wine we've selected for the review tonight is neither new nor old, as it was released on the market last summer – Vintage Merlot & Syrah 2016 from Radacini. It is a rosé wine blend, made of 2 varieties: merlot, which adds body and structure and syrah, which is responsible for extra flavours and spiciness. Rosé wines are growing in popularity with each passing season here in Moldova and we are eager to try as many different styles as we can. That said, let's find out just how good this wine is.
Pale cherry red color with shades of grey and blue towards the rim of the glass.
The nose is rich, filled mostly with sweet red fruit flavours: sour cherry, cranberry, red currant, raspberry, canned strawberry, candied red cherry, ripe red apple and some nuanced hints of wildberry.
The wine is off-dry to sweet, with high alcohol level, high acidity and rough tannin. This is a sharp, austere and angular rosé wine, with a quite aggressive, bitters profile and very nuanced alcohol level. It has a poor overall balance and it feels too rough and too green for a rosé wine.
The wine has a medium finish and a quite rough aftertaste.
This is definitely a fair Wine of Moldova and the overall rating says the same, with 84.9 points scored it is right there, among the best wines we've tasted so far. Please click on the chart icon on the left in order to get to the wine rating page, where you can find all the wines we've tasted to date.
Conclusion: this is a quite flavoured rosé wine, which is definitely not in its peak form and it is difficult to predict if it can get there at all, because it feels too austere and aggressive, which makes any further assumption so much difficult. Our recommendation is to drink now and not age it any longer. In order to smoothen its angles, pair this wine with spicy or aromatic and sweet dishes, like for example a spicy Thai chicken salad or some strawberry fool dessert. Enjoy!

sunday morning: cleaning just enough to call it that, the television on: the rise & fall of the third reich, which gave me chills, and gladiator, which somewhat ditto, but at least there was russell crowe.
still no images, back to blogging only words. it feels like less decoration, like more truth, like opening my soul but keeping my heart all to myself. such yada yada yada, such overthinking, such an excuse for what is probably just laziness. i just know what i know and pictures aren't part of what i know right now.
what i know: there is a blue jay in the empty wisteria vines, circling, circling, fluttering through the open spaces, up and down and back and up. there is a blue sky behind him, white clouds, the honking of a horn. a warmish sunday after a coldish week.
monday morning: the wind is up and sounds hard, speaks of gloves and a scarf. blows leaves away from the front door, sends the cat scurrying to nestle next to me in bed. i am too lazy to wash my hair, to even talk myself out from under these covers, but the house feels cold and i need to check the heater. it is teetering on its last legs, and goes off several times each day. sputtering its way to the end.
the small tree next to my bathroom window is coming down. on purpose, because i once thought it was a flower and let it grow, but it turned out to be a tree with roots whose fingers are beginning to scrabble their way beneath the house, and so, it must go. i'm sad to say goodbye - both maggie the cat and skye cat made much use of its shade, and i liked the coolness of its greens against the summertime window, but now the sunshine will have an easier way in.
thursday morning: 2 cold days and nights and though it will warm up today, i woke in a bad mood, could feel the badness in my dreams, dreams of running late and lost shoes and words i had to read aloud, rushing my way into the the realness of day.
i have been writing, but not showing anyone, just words for me for the rightnowness of things, and when i told that to the ever wonderful michael, he laughed and asked if that wasn't much the same as if a tree falls in a forest . . . ?, and i laughed right back, but he's wrong even if i love him. those words aren't ready, still growing, and so . . . the dream. that pushy thing.
these words are small, like the wren-sized sparrows on the road, or maybe they are wrens, i can't tell, but there are tons of them on the red bricks, apparently finding a plentiful breakfast. closer to the house there are cardinals, breakfasting on the lawn, resting in the hackberry tree. and now a mockingbird. and now the sparrows moving closer, close enough i can see they are sparrows, swooping past the windows, waking the cat.
it's brown and dull out there, the sky is gray, almost white. some dark pink blossoms on a bush behind a neighbor's house, but i have no idea what they are.
the truth about things is that i can't out loud write about the truth of things right now. writing no longer heals me, at least, i don't know, maybe it does, but maybe like all medicines, i have to get the dosage right. maybe those words i am writing are keeping my spirit alive. just this. i will tell you this. my brother is sick. very. i am struggling to write about even the sparrows when my heart is hurting. it's the kind of hurt that requires a paintbrush, i think, and that chair a friend found on the street, the one he brought me to paint. nothing heals, for me, like a paintbrush when art is not the objective.
maybe this weekend. maybe there will be pictures.
you never need pictures, you write in them.
and maybe you are right, maybe you do have to get the dosage right. or maybe sometimes, for some things, the healing has to come from the places you'd least expect.
((((((DSKJ)))))) <<-- those are hugs.
The pictures are there, even if you didn't post the links to them ... they're hidden among your words.
I'm sorry about your Brother. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/moose53/MINIS/HUGS/brightertomorrows.gif) Those of us who feel 'things' more intensely have trouble coping with ... everything. Even if you can't write here, get yourself a blank book and write ... your writing gets in touch with your soul and will help with the coping and the healing.
"writing no longer heals me, at least, I don't know, maybe it does ..."
(((Hugs))) I am so sorry. I hope your brother will be okay, and that you will be given the strength to see this through. Your writing sounds like it is doing good medicinal things, only often words do work in the dark, the underground of our souls, like tree roots. I wish you joy and peace.
agreeing with Mrs. M. your words are pictures enough. more than enough. even when you doubt they are. AND i am so happy to see mention of the-ever-wonderful-Michael. there has been no mention of him in a while in writing.
i am sorry, so sorry for the hurt of your brother's illness. i hope the sparrows can heal your heart. i hope your words, even if not written to us, can heal your heart. and your brother will have healing.

Nisaba: I went Coins = Earth/material, Cups = Water/emotional, Swords = air/intellectual and Wands = Fire/activity.
This is one of the things I was ranting about because they arn't the original meanings of the Elements, these are the popular/modern 'elements' of the last century. And due to 'new age esoteric tarot' exposure, it's become like second nature for many of us to equate the element names (Fire, Water etc) with their physical counterparts, and is even spoken of as 'traditional' - note that I don't exclude myself here.
Truly, my tarot meanings have developed from various sources, a veritable mish-mash that works fine for divination purposes, but much of which is quite divorced from the roots of early historical cards, their usage & values.
Welding the trump cards to the pip & court deck was a grand idea, but the evolution of this 78 card deck has almost obliberated it's origins. And that's sad.
So ......... this is why I haunt these valuable history threads, sifting the gold-dust to recover richness from the past.

This was the first rally of the year in which the seniors wore all black, while the rest of the school wore their designated class color.
According to many students, the week leading up to the rally was exciting, however, outfits for spirit week were limited due to the weather.
"For beach day I wanted to wear Birkenstocks to go all out, but I couldn't because of the rain," junior Grace Hassanieh said.
The rally consisted of performances by the band, cheer, dance, the boys' varsity lacrosse team and choir. There was also a dodgeball game, a lip sync battle, a teacher-student ball hopping competition and a video made from clips of the previous rally.
Sophomore Sam Peters said this was one of the best rallies of the year.
"All of the rallies are always super dope and everyone is always having fun," Peters said.
Sophomores Vianne Will, Isa Rojas, Sofia Rawlins and Solana Moye represented their grade in the lip sync battle.
This rally was the first this year in which the freshmen won a game.
Many students yelled "unfair" and "rigged" when the sophomores won the dodgeball competition.
Juniors still hold the lead this year for winning the most spirit points and games at rallies.
"I felt the rally really captured the school's spirit and brought joy to all in a fun interactive way," junior Derek Yerich said.
Some say that seniors Ben Fuller, Aiden Glikmann, Dylan Rodgers and Ethan Martin were the highlight of the entire rally when they lip-synced "Sucker" by Jonas Brothers.
"Even though we definitely got robbed by the judges, I had a blast getting to perform for the whole school one last time and I'm definitely gonna miss our lip sync performances every year," Fuller said.


Do I Need a RX for Ringworm?
Yes. It is a prescription anti-fungal cream. Though, there are probably some homeopathic products on the market at a healthfood store.
Does anyone have an opinion on whether prescription prenatal vitamins are better than over the counter??
According to my OB, OTC are just as good as prescriptions, but like the other mom said. Go with what's cheaper.
Prescription prenatals made me so sick and my doctor said that the over the counter pills were exactly the same... even recommended Flinstone Vitamins to take!
I am looking for medical insurance plans with prescription coverage for the self employed. Does any one have any information or suggestions?
Prescription Anti-aging Creams Worth The $$?
Do you use a good moisturizer? I just recently found a good moisturizer that doesn't irritate my skin and it's made a world of difference. No prescription ingredients.

Search Suspended For Human Remains At Eldora
Investigators have suspended a search at a Colorado ski resort but are hoping DNA evidence might help them identify human remains found there.
A foot was found inside a size 13 snow boot in a clearing at the Eldora Mountain Ski Resort on Wednesday. Teams spent two days searching the area, including a horseback search of cross-country skiing trails Thursday, but don't plan to look again for clues until more snow melts.
The Daily Camera reports DNA from the remains could be compared to a national database to see if it matches a profile on file.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office doesn't believe the remains belong to a missing 20-year-old man from Lafayette who worked at the resort.


Data occupies a somewhat curious place within education. Mention it to teachers and you tend to get one of two responses. One group will roll their eyes and with great sarcasm how data is "so exciting". The other group responds with something akin to "actually I quite like data" indicating that experience has shown them that they are members of a small group. The question is why do some people find data to be a useful and fascinating tool while others see it as a good method for inducing sleep?


It wasn't his best year on the track, in terms of time, but the gold medal won at the 13th Annual International Association of Athletic Federation's(IAAF)World Indoor Championships has allowed Chris'The Fireman'Brown to run away withThe Nassau Guardian'sSenior Male Athlete of the Year honor.
Even though the quarter-miler hailing from Eleuthera, Brown, decided to close his season early this year, his performances at the various meets on the international circuit helped him edge out the stack field of professional and amateurs senior male athletes, in the country. Brown outscored professional basketball player Eric Gordon by one and Donald Thomas by two.
This is the first individual gold medal for Brown, who ran 45.96 seconds at the championships held in Doha, Qatar. It was a major feat for the national record holder which came at a perfect time. At the 12th Annual IAAF World Indoor Championships he placed third, in 46.26 seconds and came close to medaling at various international meets, such as the Olympic Games. And despite his times this season, and a third place finishing at the Bahamas Associations of Athletic Association(BAAA)BTC National Championships, behind Demertius Pinder and Andretti Bain, Brown is still considered one of the best quarter-milers in the world and indeed the country. He is ranked among the top 20 in the one lap event, with a season's best time of 45.96 seconds, in outdoors. His best, on the outdoor circuit, of 44.40 seconds is the national record for the event and 45.78 seconds is considered the leading time for indoors.
with 23.8 points. In the last three games played, this season, Gordon had a combined score of 72 points, 12 rebounds and assists with three steals.
Soaring his way back to the top of the list is high jumper Donald Thomas and is now the sixth ranked jumper in the world. Thomas won a gold at the Commonwealth Games, the Central American and Caribbean Games and the BAAA BTC National Championships. At the IAAF Continental Cup, Thomas captured the silver medal with a clearance of 2.28 meters(m)and 2.18m at the IAAF World Indoor Championships, which he placed 15th overall. Leevan'Superman'Sands came in fourth this year with 65 points. Sands who is known for his gracefully landings in the triple jump pit, had a short season too. But before closing the year he won a gold at the CAC Games and made the crowd cheer at the BAAA BTC National Championships because of his amazing performance, which placed him atop of the field.
Not only did Valentino Knowles boxed his way in to the top five this year, but the country's history books as well. Knowles wasn't quite done after a superb year in 2009. He was the first Bahamian to win a bout at the World Championships last year and returned this year to capture a medal at the Commonwealth Games. The bronze was won in the Light Welter Weight division(64kg).
Trevor Barry, Vereance Burrows and Devin Mullings finished sixth, seventh and eighth, respectively. Barry totalled 60 points, Burrows 59 and Mullings 52 points. Also listed in the top 10 were baseball sensation Antoan Richardson with 50 points and basketball player Magnum Rolle with 41 points.

Sciath's game of two halves
Danske Bank Sciath na nÓg Final.
St Joseph's Donaghmore 1-7 Scoileanna Inis Eoghain 1-5
ALTHOUGH Scoileanna Inis Eoghain failed to score during the opening half of this Danske Bank Sciath na nÓg in Killyclogher, they managed to keep St Joseph's Donaghmore scoreless during the second half, but still couldn't overhaul the Tyrone side.
Darragh Donaghy hit the Donaghmore goal in the 19th minute and he and Noah Grimes were central to putting the mid-Ulster school 1-7 to 0-0 ahead at the break.
Two points from Kevin Lynch and a goal from Conor Graham reduced the deficit after six minutes of second half, but Inis Eoghain could not pick off enough scores in the last 25 minutes to overtake Donaghmore, although they may thank goalie Leo Quinn who saved well from Lynch two minutes from full time.
St Joseph's : Darragh Donaghy (1-1, 0-1 free), Noah Grimes 0-4), Joe Clarke (0-1), Conor O'Neill (0-1).
Inis Eoghain : Conor Graham (1-0), Kevin Lynch (0-2, 0-1 free), from Darragh Douglas (0-1), Oisin McIntyre (0-1), Shane Gallagher (0-1)

Review: Salt DVD & Blu-Ray
Salt on DVD & Blu-Ray
In 2007, Tom Cruise was approached to play the lead in 'Salt', but apparently turned it down, concerned it was too close to his Ethan Hunt persona. I looked that fact up online after having watched 'Salt' thinking "This doesn't half seem like a Mission Impossible movie". Not that it's a bad thing, but I can see why Cruise thought that.
Angelina Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA operative, who after being captured and tortured in North Korea, has decided to give up the field work, and take on a CIA desk job. Just as she's about to leave to spend her anniversary with her arachnologist (thats a guy that studies spiders) husband (german actor August Diehl), Salt and her collegue Ted Winter (Liev Schreiber), get a 'walk in' claiming to be a Russian spy called Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski) wanting to defect. During Salt's interrogation of Orlov he tells a story of highly trained and indoctrinated Russian spy's embedded into America as children in preparation for 'Day X'. A day which who start a series of events to bring down the USA. Orlov claims this event will be kick started using the assassination of Russia's own president by one of these Day X sleeper agents… an agent called Evelyn Salt. Salt of course claims its a set up, and Winter seems to believe her. US Counter-intelligence agent Peabody (Serenity's Chiwetel Ejiofor), is not so sure… What then follows is a series of high octane chase sequences, as Salt escapes the CIA building, believing her husband to be in danger from the people 'setting her up'… Or maybe she wants to complete her mission to kill the Russian president.
Director Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games, The Bone Collector) keeps the action moving at a fair old pace, and while some of the story is a little over the top (i mean russian sleeper agents in the US… like that's ever going to happen… ;)), none of it ever goes so far up the (what i refer to as) 'McG scale of realism', to break my willing suspension of disbelief.
To be fair, Salt isn't just like Mission Impossible. It's actually more an ice cream sunday of Mission Impossible and Minority Report, with a little of the Manchurian Candidate and Jason Bourne sprinkled on top. As I said earlier, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Jolie makes a perfectly decent lead, producing Lara Coft-esque kick ass moves, and blowing things up with a style and grace only she could pull off. The set up may seem little derivative at first, but it twists and turns nicely, and screen writer Kurt Wimmer has done a good job of keeping you guessing the true nature of all the characters. I'm trying to avoid any major spoilers in this review, so I'll just say it's a script that aims to try something new. Even if it doesn't doesn't quite pull off, I applaud it for trying.
Salt might not have quite reaches the heights it was aiming for, but it's still a perfectly solid action movie, and if it makes it into the franchise they are some blatantly aiming for, i could quite happily watch to see where they take it next.
Blu-ray & DVD Special Features include – The Ultimate Female Action Hero, Spy Disguises: The Looks of Evelyn Salt, Radio Interview and Audio Commentary with Director Phillip Noyc. The Blu-ray also contains exclusives such as – Salt Declassification – An Undercover Look at the Secrets of Making SALT, The Real Agents Featurette, The Modern Master of the Political Thriller: Phillip Noyce, False Identity: Creating the New Reality, Spy Cam Picture in Picture Track, and Movie IQ.

Construction Workers and Coronavirus
Thank you for contacting me about construction workers.
I share your concern for the safety of all workers who are continuing to travel to work, as they are unable to work from home, including construction workers. In line with the Chief Medical Officer's advice they can continue to do so.
On 31 March Alok Sharma, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, wrote to all workers in the construction industry to update them on what steps the Government and industry leaders are taking to ensure their safety.
I am pleased that the construction industry has developed Site Operating Procedures (SOP), which were published by the Construction Leadership Council. These align with the latest guidance from Public Health England and, as this health guidance updates, the SOP will adjust to reflect any changes.
The Government has published guidance for all workers on the www.gov.uk website. You can find the relevant guidance by searching for 'COVID-19: guidance for employees, employers and businesses'.
The Secretary of State paid tribute to the construction workers who continue to work tirelessly to build temporary hospitals, construct new infrastructure or build new homes. These are just some examples of the vital work the construction industry does for the UK and, while we are living in unprecedented times, their work is as important as ever.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me.

INEC, others task media on gender political reporting
By Margaret Mwantok
12 December 2018 | 4:13 am
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has tasked media practitioners on the need to take conscious steps in mainstreaming gender...
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has tasked media practitioners on the need to take conscious steps in mainstreaming gender in reporting electoral processes of the 2019 general elections.
Deputy Director, Gender Division of INEC, Mrs. Blessing Obidegwu, who spoke yesterday in Lagos at a seminar organised by the commission with support of United Nations Women on media and gender sensitive reporting in elections, said male counterparts had enjoyed more publicity from the media at the detriment of female candidates who sometimes get displaced for lack of adequate exposure.
According to her, "media marginalisation against women in terms of electoral reporting reinforces gender imbalance on politics as women are denied sufficient space in the media to project themselves to the electorate."
Also, Resident Electoral Commissioner, Sam Olumekun, encouraged political gladiators to ensure all electioneering campaigns are issues-based, saying: "Politicians should shun all acts of violence and hate-speeches during this period and discourage vote-buying in all ramifications to ensure the credibility of the 2019 general elections."
Representative of UN Women, Mr. Desmond Osemhenjie, stressed that Nigeria had only six per cent of women elected into political offices, making it the lowest on the continent, which significantly undermines the country's democratic growth and aspirations.
He said all hands must be on deck to overturn this bleak outlook.
In the same vein, Director, International Press Centre (IPC), Mr. Lanre Arogundade, said it was disheartening that women were under-represented and rarely feature in media reporting of electoral issues and elections despite that they constitute the majority of the population.
He said: "Female politicians, especially candidates, are often less projected in the media when compared with their male counterparts, thus being denied of the right of equitable access to the media during electioneering."
President, National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Mrs. Ifetinwa Omowole, stressed the need to report women as development issues, adding: "I urge us to project women in good light because they are representatives of many generations.
She, however, advised that women must make themselves relevant as we move into the New Year.
Meanwhile, President, Nigerian Guild of Editors, Mrs. Funke Egbemode, has urged women in politics to take realistic steps and realistic demands.

Again, the triumph of selfish politics
