De koninklijke standaard is de officiële standaard (vlag) van de Britse koning Charles III van het Verenigd Koninkrijk in zijn hoedanigheid als Staatshoofd van de Verenigd Koninkrijk en tal van andere staten.

De koninklijke standaard die in Groot-Brittannië wordt gebruikt, bestaat uit de wapenschilden van Engeland, Schotland en Noord-Ierland, evenals het gerelateerde wapen. In de andere landen van het gemenebest bestaat het uit de wapenschilden die daar worden gebruikt. In het vlaggenprotocol heeft de Koninklijke standaard de hoogste ranking. Het mag alleen worden gehesen op gebouwen waar de koning momenteel verblijft. Het wappert boven de Union Jack, de vlaggen van andere leden van de koninklijke families en de vlaggen van de staten. De Koninklijke standaard wordt nooit halfstok gevlogen omdat het het symbool is van de instelling van de monarchie, die ononderbroken voortleeft. Het ontwerp van de vlag is daarom niet significant veranderd sinds het Huis Windsor aantrad als Britse monarchen. De vlaggen in de landen van het Gemenebest moesten worden gewijzigd, omdat hierop de E van koningin Elisabeth was afgebeeld.

Verenigd Koninkrijk

In Engeland, Wales, Noord-Ierland en andere Britse overzeese gebieden is de vlag verdeeld in vier kwadranten. Het eerste en vierde kwadrant vertegenwoordigen Engeland en hebben drie gouden leeuwen (of luipaarden) op een rode achtergrond. Het tweede kwadrant stelt Schotland voor en toont een rechtopstaande rode leeuw op een gouden achtergrond. Het derde kwadrant vertegenwoordigt Ierland en toont het goud Keltische harp op een blauwe achtergrond. Een soortgelijke vlag wordt gebruikt in Schotland, behalve dat de Schotse leeuw die rechtop loopt in het eerste en vierde kwadrant verschijnt, maar de drie Engelse leeuwen in het tweede kwadrant.

De huidige Koninklijke standaard is in gebruik sinds het bewind van Koningin Victoria, afgezien van kleine wijzigingen in de afbeelding van de Ierse harp. Eerdere Koninklijke standaarden omvatten de wapenschilden van Hannover en Frankrijk, wat overeenkomt met de positie van de Engelse koningen als keurvorsten (latere koningen) van Hannover en de theoretische aanspraak van de Britse vorsten op de Franse troon. Het ontwerp werd grotendeels gewijzigd toen een nieuwe monarch aantrad.

Australië

In Australië bestaat de Royal Standard uit zes delen, drie in de bovenste en onderste helft. De eerste zesde staat voor Nieuw-Zuid-Wales; het toont het Engelse Sint-Joriskruis met een gouden leeuw in het midden en een gouden ster in elke arm. De tweede zesde staat voor Victoria en bestaat uit een kroon en zes witte sterren op een blauwe achtergrond. De derde zesde staat voor Queensland en toont een blauw Maltezer kruis met een kroon op een witte achtergrond. De vierde zesde staat voor Zuid-Australië en stelt een zwartrugfluitvogel voor op een gouden achtergrond. De vijfde zesde staat voor West-Australië, met een zwarte zwaan op een gouden achtergrond. In de laatste zesde, wat staat voor Tasmanië, is een rode leeuw afgebeeld op een witte achtergrond.

Toegestane formaten zijn 1:2 en 22:31. 1:2 moet worden gebruikt als nabijgelegen vlaggen vergelijkbare formaten hebben. 22:31 maakt een eenvoudige weergave mogelijk: 2 eenheden voor de rand en het wapen elk in het formaat 9:9.

Canada

De Koninklijke standaard of Canada is in zijn basisvorm gebaseerd op het wapen van Canada. In de bovenste twee derde zijn de vier belangrijkste etnische groepen van Europese afkomst vertegenwoordigd: de Engelsen door drie gouden leeuwen, de Schotten door de rode leeuw, de Ieren door de harp en de Franse Canadezen door de lelie. In het onderste derde deel zijn er drie suikeresdoorn op een witte achtergrond, die de eenheid van de volkeren vertegenwoordigen. In het midden is een blauwe schijf gehuld in rozen met een gekroonde gouden "E". Ook de Inheemse bevolking van Canada (ook bekend als First Nations of indianen en eskimo's of inuit) eist een opname op de koninklijke standaard nu de E van Elisabeth door een C van Charles wordt vervangen.

Nieuw-Zeeland

In Nieuw-Zeeland bestaat de Koninklijke standaard uit twee kwadranten aan weerszijden, in het midden gescheiden door een witte band. In het eerste kwadrant staan vier rode sterren op een blauwe achtergrond, die het Zuiderkruis symboliseren, maar iets anders gerangschikt dan de vlag van Nieuw-Zeeland. Een gouden schapenwol op een rode achtergrond in het tweede kwadrant symboliseert de schapenhouderij, een gouden schoof op een rode achtergrond in het derde kwadrant symboliseert landbouw. Twee gouden hamers op een blauwe achtergrond in het vierde kwadrant vertegenwoordigen mijnbouw. In de witte band in het midden staan twee zeilschepen, symbolen van maritieme handel en immigratie. Ook hier is er een blauwe schijf omkranst met rozen met een gekroonde gouden "E" in het midden.

Jamaica

De Koninklijke standaard van Jamaica bestaat uit de Engelse vlag met gouden ananas in elk van de armen. In het midden is de blauwe schijf gehuld in rozen met een gekroonde gouden "E".

Andere landen van het Gemenebest
De andere staten van het Gemenebest hebben geen eigen Koninklijke standaard. Toen koningin Elizabeth II in deze landen verbleef, voerde ze de basis vlag, bestaande uit een gekroonde "E" omringd door gouden rozen op een blauwe achtergrond. Sierra Leone, Trinidad en Tobago, Mauritius, Malta en Barbados hadden vroeger hun eigen Koninklijke standaard. Sinds deze staten echter republieken werden, worden ze niet meer gebruikt.

Pastor: Sleeping With Porn Stars is a Sin (But Evangelicals Still Support Trump) March 9, 2018 Beth Stoneburner
Pastor: Sleeping With Porn Stars is a Sin (But Evangelicals Still Support Trump)
By Beth Stoneburner
With a perfectly straight face, Pastor Robert Jeffress, an evangelical adviser to Donald Trump, dismissed the Stormy Daniels scandal, showing once again how white evangelicals will let anything Trump does slide as long as he continues advancing their agenda.
Jeffress told Fox News yesterday, "Evangelicals still believe in the commandment: Thou shalt not have sex with a porn star, but whether this president violated that commandment or not is totally irrelevant to our support of him."
To paraphrase: Sure, these sex scandals are wrong. Sure, we would blow it completely out of proportion if Barack Obama were guilty of the same thing. But this is Donald Trump, so hypocritical evangelicals will continue looking the other way. That's what Jesus taught us to do.
"Evangelicals knew they weren't voting for an altar boy when they voted for Donald Trump," he said. "We supported him for his policies and his strong leadership."
In fact, when it comes to those behaviors, he suggested there's pretty much nothing Trump can do to alienate him as long as he delivers on those policies.
"I'm his friend," he said. "I will never walk away."
Jeffress is admitting what Trump's critics — and critics of religion — have been saying ever since the election: The Christians backing Trump claim to have the moral high ground, and when confronted with evidence that Trump has violated those rules, they conveniently ignore it. Because morals don't matter when it's being traded for access and power.
This is what white evangelicals do every time one of their own is embroiled in a sex scandal. It's dismissed, ignored, written off as "sin," or treated as a story of persecution.
Jeffress says Trump is delivering on "those policies," but realize that basically involves pissing on the Constitution and lowering the quality of life for women and minority groups, while eroding the separation of church and state.
Our country is worse off today because white evangelicals are more concerned about their self interests than doing what's best for the people they claim to want to save. Every day brings another reminder of just how low evangelicals will sink in order to defend an awful human being who pays them lip service.
With chronic lying being a way of life for these people, I'm amazed that Jeffress hasn't claimed Trump didn't really sleep with Stormy Daniels and that he actually met with her in order to lead her to Jesus. But give it time. It'll happen one day.

Oracle is well known as a complex environment, and with good reason. Though they will object to that complexity at the sales level, they embrace it at the technical level. Let's forget for a moment the pains this may have caused us in our careers and focus on an undeniable plus: Oracle gives great metrics.
Of all the environments and architectures I have worked with over the years, Oracle undoubtably has the best reporting. Statspack, AWR, ASH, X$ and V$ views, log files, the list goes on and on. Thanks to these repositories of metadata there really aren't many problems you can't diagnose by following the bottleneck trail to the root cause. But with this wealth of insight comes a lot of uncertainty and bad advice which ultimately can lead to a serious case of Too Much Information (TMI).
There are of course many metrics that are mishandled, abused, or overlooked in the Oracle world. These are the five that are most apparent in the DBA and developer community.
By talking to many DBAs, it has become apparent to me that there was in fact a third tablet given to Moses at Mt. Sinai which simply said "Thou shalt not full table scan". For whatever reason it never made it into official biblical canon but DBAs and to some extent developers still honor the lesson to this day. Or something like that.
Full table scans are the Devil!
First of all, the 'db file scattered read' metric is not always indicative of a full table scan. It is simply an indication of multiblock I/O which could come from a full table scan; it can also come from index full scans and fast full scans. And 'db file scattered read' waits aren't the only multiblock I/Os out there and certainly not the only indicators of full table scans. In 11g a 'direct path read' can also indicate a full table scan, and events like 'db file parallel read' also do multiblock I/O.
The misuse of this metric comes from the fear instilled in any new DBA regarding full table scans. At some point DBAs and developers alike were told to treat them like the plague, and an inexperienced DBA will often hunt for them at the first sign of slowness regardless of what's actually holding up a system.
As you hopefully now know, full table scans aren't always the devil. There are many times when a full scan is the right way to access table or index data and times when an index is the way to go. The mere sight of the 'db file scattered read' metric is not reason enough to panic.
Somewhere in the DBA initiation ritual "parse to execute ratio" became synonymous with "hard parsing too much". Oracle training, documentation, and many tuning blogs and sources don't do much to expand or dispute this.
Reducing hard parses is something you have to do, but simply reducing hard parses isn't enough. If you do a hard parse and then execute you have a parse to execute ratio of 1:1. If you do a soft parse then execute you're still at 1:1. A combination of hard parse reduction and cursor caching is required for a good parse to execute ratio.
Pay close attention to the client software being used against your database. Different application servers and programs will have different cursor caching mechanisms. In this example, JBoss required the 'prepared-statement-cache-size' parameter to be set to reuse cursors.
Just because you're pulling a bunch of data from cache doesn't mean you're using your cache properly. Caching and retrieving blocks is about managing your working set of data, not managing a number between 0 and 100.
When you run an AWR report and look at the Buffer Hit Ratio metric, remember that you're looking at a one hour average. Over the course of the hour your hit ratio may be 99%, but that doesn't mean the blocks you needed were in cache when you needed them.
If you are concerned only with having a good buffer hit ratio, make your buffer cache really small and cache a few thousand random blocks then query them again a few times. Instant success!
Buffer hit ratio is a feel good metric and good for dashboards and a quick glance for an outlier time window. Using it purely as a tuning or alert metric is not recommended.
This is another 'top' DBA favorite, but is also very popular among developers, QA/testers, and management. When CPU on a Linux or UNIX system reaches 95%+ CPU usage, alarm bells instantly go up and bad performance is assumed.
I blame Windows. Single CPU machines running bulky operating systems taught us that if CPU is at 99% you're having a bad day. However, on an Oracle database environment 99% CPU usage can actually be considered a very good thing under the right circumstances.
Usage alone is not a viable metric. One other important metric is the run queue length, or load. This is the stat you see with the uptime or top command (in 1, 5, and 15 minute averages) or realtime using vmstat. It (usually) represents the number of processes waiting/running on CPU at any given moment. As such it is a good measure of concurrency and overall usage of CPU resources in most cases; however, there are exceptions depending on your OS and I/O usage (e.g. uninterruptible I/O wait). A very general rule of thumb is that load should not go above the number of cores on your system, though there are exceptions to this rule as well. To be precise, a combination of CPU usage, load, and I/O wait should be used to evaluate capacity. While gauging your usage, remember that load != percent in use, and multi-core != multi-threaded (no matter what AWR says).
Consider this: you buy Oracle licenses by the CPU. If your CPU usage percent metric is 50% during your busiest time, then you are only using half your processing power and dollar investment. CPU is fast and it is where work takes place. If your Oracle instance is not waiting, then it should be working. And if it is working, it should be using all the power (and licensing dollars) at its disposal.
If you really want to tie in wait + work in an Oracle environment, I advocate paying attention to Average Active Sessions. It is an easy to compute and easy to read metric within Oracle that can easily be broken down into individual waiting components and give a good indication of overall load on the Oracle environment.
Average Active Sessions – The Magic Metric?
Taking the #1 spot for the title of Most Misused Metric Made Meaningful Maladroitly (M6) is cost.
Just because Oracle's optimizer is cost based doesn't mean your tuning practices should be. Cost is a metric Oracle calculates in order to rank execution paths for queries. This means that looking at cost values in explain plans can help you understand why Oracle chose the plan it did.
However, a quick look online or working with some developers and DBAs on query tuning will frequently raise questions like "How do I reduce the cost of this query?" or "Why is my query slow when cost is low?". The simple truth is that cost is not a tuning metric. When you try to tune a query you should do so with the metrics that matter the most to your situation. In most cases this comes down to reducing block touches (both physical and logical reads) and processing requirements by improving the selectivity, join order, and index usage of your query. If you want to reduce the cost of a specific execution plan so it will be chosen by the optimizer that is a worthwhile goal but trying to reduce the cost of a query in general makes no sense.
Know the bottlenecks that hold up your Oracle instance and your query. Find the components of your query that take a long time or the combination of components that hold up efficient processing. Learn to properly display and read explain plans. And most importantly, don't stop at just the explain plan. Learn to use tools like tkprof and Tanel Poder's Snapper utility so you can get the big picture as many query issues arise from issues larger than a 'bad explain plan'.
Cost is very important to Oracle but plays a bit part in your tuning saga. If you tune strictly to reduce the cost of a query, you are missing out on the big picture and only making tuning harder on yourself.
Nice list of things to look out for. When I started working with Sun boxes I was surprised how well they ran at high CPU utilization. Less surprised once I started paying attention to the run queue and other measures as you mention.
In my past life working with non-SQL databases on UNIX, I'd often plot logical reads against (CPU busy * core count) to get a measure of database work per 'fully utilized core'. Is that a reasonable high level characterization of an Oracle database server – for example a data warehouse that has a fairly predictable ETL and batch report workload?


Hi! I'm James Trotta, an English teacher from New York. I just finished a Master of Applied Linguistics and I've been teaching English since 1998.
I've designed this site to help English students learn vocabulary words. Many students keep vocabulary journals, but wouldn't it be more fun to do it online? That way we can have one really big vocabulary journal with lots of words and lots of examples for each word.
I can't email grammar lessons and that kind of stuff but I will try to answer vocabulary questions here on this message board and grammar questions on the other part of the forum.

Interview hosted by Edward Mills on "The Abundant Mystic"
Real life can no more act to pull us down than does the rising sun burden the flowers that wait to bathe in its nourishing light.
Blame is the dark effect of denial, of refusing to recognize that when it comes to anyone or anything that sets you off...seer and the seen are one and the same.
In this short talk Guy explains how trying to escape the feeling of being trapped is actually part of the trap and that true liberation lies in seeing the whole of what we are.

Kong: Skull Island Director Writes His Own Honest Trailer
NEWS EXCLUSIVES MOVIES TV GAMING COMICS REVIEWS FEATURES
By Tim Karan/Sept. 5, 2017 3:53 pm EST
As Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts says, he's his own worst critic.
The folks at Screen Junkies put together an Honest Trailer for his reboot of the King Kong franchise, and while the first half of the video is pretty standard, it takes a twist in the middle when Vogt-Roberts shows up and takes over. He defends the film (especially the amount of helicopters), but he's also brutally honest when he points out some of the movie's flaws.
Among the shortcomings he brings up: It's got "major structural problems that spends the whole first act bringing the cast together, only to split everyone apart 10 minutes later," and "it was going for the emotional simplicity of Aliens but ended up with the complexity of Alien vs. Predator."
Of course, all of this comes just a few weeks after Vogt-Roberts slammed CinemaSins for a video that shined a spotlight on perceived flaws. He said, "Things like CinemaSins simply suck the life blood of other people and are often just wrong about intent or how cinema works."
But Screen Junkies actually agreed to let Vogt-Roberts contribute to his own Honest Trailer before that controversy erupted, not that they're complaining about the timing.
Watch the video above, then take a look back at what critics had to say about Kong: Skull Island.

What do I think about Raj Thackeray ?
1. I respect his fabulous persona; Dynamic, Wonderful and Extremely Talented (love his cartoons)
2. Misunderstood (unintentionally) and Maligned (politically and deliberately) by media and so-called 'progressive' people who have been fooled around with supposedly 'balanced' concepts of secularism and equality.
Anti-rich, anti-Marathi, anti-Maharashtra DOES NOT mean equality.
3. In my knowledge, he was / is never against any particular community. His outrage has been against Atrocities (yes, you read it right … I call it 'atrocity' when your house is surrounded by slums, when you have to undergo load-shedding while slums heavily indulge in power thefts, when you are robbed or looted by those slum-dwellers and they're never caught, when a deserving candidate from Maharashtra does not get to sit for Railway exam in his own state) … against Maharashtrians !
4. MNS has highest number of ambulances running in my area at least (I am the witness). They have never distinguished between people while providing such services. Kudos to Raj Thackeray for that !
5. As far as I see, he has never done things for political mileage. None of his major outrages was soon followed by an election.
Gonna write more about Raj … am in process of further research !
Yogesh Ramesh Sharma
As we go for elections 2009, there's no dearth of issues in any part of the nation.
Maharashtra will be voting to stop farmers' suicides, less price for Maharashtra's favorite crops of sugar and cotton, power woes, uncontrolled migration and resulting ever increasing slums. The neighbor Karnataka suffering from attacks against Women, Christians will be fighting against imbalanced growth and increasing poverty also. Gujarat, still in phase of recovery from communal divisions, is facing a crisis of sorts with mediocre rehabilitation record for displaced due to various reasons like industrialization or the infamous Sardar Sarovar and the increasing divide between the rich and the poor. Tourism capital Goa has had its share of security woes with Marathi-Konkani locals' widening angst against tourists and outsiders that has resulted in no co-operation.
Rajasthan, which managed to defeat one the most progressive chief ministers it ever had in assembly elections last year, has its own set of issues which include reducing female proportion, very poor HDI (human development index) and inward growth of deserts from west. State of Madhya Pradesh, with its two biggest problems being child deaths due to malnutrition and large number of unlicensed arms, has been deprived of power after creation of Chhattisgarh which in turn is suffering from Naxalites and withdrawal of some of energy projects. Same with Orissa, plagued by Naxalites and crazy Hindu movements, the state has suffered badly and lack of efforts to reduce poverty and beggary has resulted in higher count of sudden deaths across the Utkal.
Moving to the east, Bangala Bhoomi cannot still recover from the embarrassment of Nano ouster. The never-improving and poor centric Left rule has hampered Bengal's dreams. Lack of decent education and scarcity of jobs have lead to Criminalization in northern part of the state. Moreover, almost all the eastern, north-eastern states, UP and Bihar share the plight of illegal insurgency from Bangladesh and Nepal. Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, containing the yet unresolved border with China, have grown enormous amount of jobless youths in past few years.
The southern state of Kerala, despite of being better placed on account of literacy and sex ratio, has problems a plenty. Emigration seems to be the key concern area for Kerala with educated young population continuing to move out to Gulf nations, Chennai, Mumbai and Bangalore for jobs and career opportunities. The land of Tamil is probably bearing the consequences of lopsided development policies could suffer more due to tensions between lawyers and politicians. The neighbor on fire, Sri Lanka, could spell dooms for Tamilians with undesired infiltration. Andhra, the only non-Hindi state below the national average for literacy and Human development, has got its share of woes with huge number of beggars, Naxal problems and Telangana movement.
Then we move on to the northern part of the nation: Punjab and Haryana, the only well-to-do regions in the north, are still not visible on the global map, relying mostly on local industries. These anti-women states are still very much ruled by the religion and its fanatical followers. The national capital has to still undergo pains of crimes every minute and the scars it has inflicted are long lasting affecting Delhi's quotient for global attraction. Shortage of English users could prove detrimental to Delhi's dreams of successfully hosting CWG-2010.
Not much need be listed for UP and Bihar, which lag behind in every aspect of development and prosperity. These states have a lot to be fulfilled despite being two of the richest in terms of natural resources. Gorakhpur open border continues to be a headache for India while crime, poor education, lack of industries and lackluster infrastructure (where its difficult to even breathe) have hindered growth of these states. Jharkhand, despite its mineral richness has failed to put up good show. Uttarakhand with all freebies and tax rebates to industries is starting to lose its green look. Despite a decent presence of industries, Uttarakhand is not earning much and may well face bankruptcy issues affecting government servants.
The beautiful J&K has got bloodier by the day, the state is shattered after Amarnath land controversy and scrapping of Kashmir railway connection. Terrorism still crops its head up every now and then. As a result, we have jobless youths in Jammu and Angry youths in Kashmir after atrocities by Indian armed forces.
Election Enigma
Stage set for 15th general elections in India : Pune along with almost half of Maharashtra will be voting on 23rd April. As in any election, there's no dearth of issues. Lets have a look at my compilation (Priorities are subject to vary) :-
– This includes physical structures like Roads, Water, Electricity, Transport (Road and Air) [Favorite pie for all politicians]
– Developing a hassle-free setup for industries : Maharashtra is no. 1 in terms of red tape in business i.e. you need average 28 licenses to start a normal business in Maharashtra which is the biggest number in the nation.
Has it ensured safety ?
Have we successfully managed to stop job cuts ?
There's still no provision for betterment of unorganized sectors like SSI,
House keepers, Security professionals, Prostitutes
– Tourism facilities development : Maharashtra lacks good tourism facilities. Though some of the pilgrimage, tourist destinations are well developed, there's lot be desired in supplying better Tourism experiences (something like Mauritius or Thailand).
– Migration needs to be controlled big time; we're running out of resources and space. No further slums can be accommodated in Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur and industrial cities of Nashik, Aurangabad and Kolhapur.
– Electricity shortage has become a huge problem. Despite highest power capacity in India (17000 MW which 40% more than second ranked Tamilnadu), Maharashtra still faces acute shortage. We have also been affected by issues like heavy dependency on conventional energy resources, projects of power generation from non-conventional energy resources have taken very long to setup.
– Further development should be greener !
2. Measures to nurture and promote Marathi culture on International stage
– No active steps taken for getting Marathi in the league of Classical languages
– Setting up schools for Marathi in universities around the world is an activity still carried out by State universities and cultural organizations. We need to scale up this issue to national responsibility with a separate entity operating for it.
– Tourism development can be closely related to cultural engagement
– This is an intellectual state, we love literature : Why no big funds for the great Marathi Saahitya ? (Most of the urban areas are witnessing these issues raised)
– Its time we view and project our culture as something to be savored for our future generations
3. Easy duties for residents
– Online availability of land records is a plus, now we need a better and a faster system even for old records (I learn from the sources that this is in progress)
– Maharashtra, the fruit hub of the nation needs to be equipped with better facilities at district level to preserve and export. Same shall apply to grocery, cotton and sugarcane. (this long running demand has not been entirely fulfilled yet but election promises are being made)
– Better transport facilities including Metro and Sky bus projects. There still seems dearth of action on fly-cheap promise. No plan yet to utilize and interconnect more than 15 airports (8 of them domestic operational).
– Fuel and Power seems to be the biggest glitch of Marathi middle class, need to be resolved at the earliest. [Thankfully these are on the list of most of the political parties]
– Stay in Maharashtra must be made pleasing for everyone !
Watch out this space : more to come soon on Macro level !

There are two types of tennis umpires within the sport: line umpires and chair umpires.
A line umpire is responsible for calling the lines on the tennis court and the chair umpire is responsible for calling the score and upholding the rules of tennis.
You need to work your way up to becoming a chair umpire by starting as a line umpire. Once you are trained you can become a tennis umpire at local county and regional competition and certain selected tennis umpires get to officiate at Wimbledon and international events.
Further information about umpiring courses can be found on our becoming a Tennis Umpire page.


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - You can't see radon and you can't smell it, but the odorless gas causes cancer. With kids back in school now, 11 Call for Action's Katie Pelton is investigating how high the levels are in our local schools. We found some have not been checked for decades -- and they are not violating any laws.
In 1991, a law passed that required all existing schools to test for radon. New schools after 1991 would also be required to test when they opened, which means it's been decades since many schools in our area have tested.
Every year in the U.S., about 20,000 people die from lung cancer caused by radon. The EPA says thousands of classrooms across the country have high levels of it. Our Call for Action team submitted an open records request to find out if the deadly gas is in your kids' school.
Several local classrooms tested above the EPA standards of four picocuries per liter of air. Just this March, Coronado High School tested high for radon. The auto shop tested three times that higher than the standard. The district told Call for Action they adjusted their H-VAC units to bring the levels down.
In Pueblo County's School District 70, Beulah Middle School came in at more than four times higher than the safe amount. The girl's locker room came in at 18. That was back in 1990. The report said they planned to retest, but there is no record that they ever did. School officials said they don't know if it was ever mitigated, or if it was ever retested.
At Cheyenne Mountain's Canon School, results last winter came in more than six times higher than the EPA standard. The test came in at more than 25. The school closed a few years ago but it now being used as a preschool. The district told us they are mitigating right now.
Plus, one local school clocked in at nearly 40 times the safe standard. In 2002, a crawl space at School District 20's Timberview Middle School tested at more than 154. The district told us they did not mitigate or do anything to the crawl space, but when they retested they said the levels naturally fell. The district told us they think the fans were turned off during the test, and they said the occupied space above that crawl space had safe levels.
After 11 Call for Action reached out, District 20 retested the crawl space to check the levels again. On Thursday, District 20 told us the test results came back well below the recommended guideline. The crawl space now tested at less than 0.3 pCi/L. The district said everything is safe and there is no need for concern.
So what happens when schools test high for radon? Well, that may surprise you. While schools in Colorado are required to test for radon, our Call for Action team found out state law does not require schools to do anything specific to fix the problem, and there's no timeline on when they have to retest.
We turned to a local radon expert, who says radon in Colorado is a big concern.
"We're zone one, so basically one of the worst in the nation," said Brandon Atha, the owner of Advanced Radon Systems in Colorado Springs.
"It is the second-leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking," Atha added. "If you're a non-smoker, then it's the first leading cause of lung cancer."
If you're concerned about radon in your child's school, you can talk with your school board to learn how they address it. The state health department also urges everyone to test their home for radon.
If you want to get a radon test kit, you can find out more information from the El Paso County Health Department. Click here for details.


It was my birthday at the end of August and I got some pretty amazing pressies (I'm sure I've already said that LOADS haha). Among those presents, from my Brother who is always amazing at choosing presents I love, was the Benefit Primping With The Stars Gift Set (£26.50).
The gift set is described as an all-time greatest "fake-its" kit. It comes housed in the cutest little book style case (which I certainly will be keeping). The kit contains 6 mini iconic products for the face, cheeks, eyes and lips, making it perfect for travel.
Some products I've used before & loved (They're Real, Benetint & Stay Don't Stray) so it's great to have handy travel versions, and the others I'm really excited to try.
This looks like a goid buy if anyone wants to try their products. I just received the " Confessions of a Concealerholic sample size kit and the box is really a small little square, but I think I remember seeing a huge size box on a Makeup Collection YouTube video am I wrong?


The first lesson learned with the backyard chicken experiment - you can't stop my wife. Not even when she's 8 months pregnant. She built the frame for the run while I was at work the other day and I must say, she's done a fine job. A coat of paint and some chicken wire and we are good to go. Between the wife and her 88 year old Grandpa (he built the coop), I can say that Orisichs make the best urban chicken accommodations.
The inhabitants of these new accommodations will likely be at the house in a week or so. We've researched breeds and have decided on a blend of mutt. We will have a mix of breeds that ought to be docile and don't mind confinement.
for better or worse, these mutt hens will be chicks we get from someone south of Indy. I didn't want to really get into raising chicks, but our chosen chicken dealer (thank you Craig's List) is only dealing in chicks. We've got an old brooder house (my great grandfather's!) so we've got the equipment. So, our daughter gets chicks for Easter. Why not, right?
We're planning on 3 hens. We don't think our roost can handle many more. The surprising thing I have learned is how little square footage a chicken needs. Our run measures 6'x3', so our birds will be living in luxury.


I was really pleased, I ordered it last minute for a convention and I came really early.
I was able to carefully dutch braid two sections without showing the cap and it was really silky and smooth. I got so many compliments on my Sonia Nevermind cosplay because of it!	I was really pleased, I ordered it last minute for a convention and I came really early.

Howdy y'all! I'm home for the spring finishing up the Lightchasers album and resting up before the summer tour. I have a few shows and I'd love to see y'all there.
I'm super stoked to share a show with friend & hero Steve Poltz. He's the dude who co-wrote my big hit "Do Be Do" (and such hits as "You Were Meant for Me" - no big deal.) We're playing June 10th at Threadgill's. Get your tickets HERE.
Special thanks to the 222 folks on #TEAMDAISY who helped me successfully fund my Kickstarter. The album is sounding gorgeous and I can't wait to share it with you.

Asia's miraculous recovery from the 1997 crisis ushered in unexpected transformations to its economies and financial sectors. The reasons many Asian countries are growing above 6%, with double-digit growth for a year or two in-between, are investigated by this extensive research collection. The Handbooks of Asian Finance analyze the forces behind these growth rates. Insights into banking, fund performance, and the effects of trading technologies for practitioners to tax evasion, market manipulation, and corporate governance issues are all here, presented by expert scholars. From real estate prices and the effects of trading technologies for practitioners to tax evasion, market manipulation, and corporate governance issues, expert scholars critically examine the ways that the region is performing. Offering broader and deeper coverage than other handbooks, the Handbooks of Asian Finance explain what is going on in Asia today. Contains 2 Hardbacks

This policy brief outlines steps that governments can take to identify policy instruments they can use to reduce their countries' extra-territorial environmental footprints.
Linn Persson and Åsa Persson (2015). Identifying policy instruments to reduce external environmental footprints.
With globalized trade, a significant share of the environmental impacts linked to a country's consumption of goods and services takes place outside its borders. There is a growing interest among policy-makers in many countries in finding ways to reduce such external environmental impacts of consumption. But it is not always clear what policy instruments might offer the most efficient ways of doing so.
This policy brief is based on a study that explored ways to bridge this gap. SEI was commissioned by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to examine what existing and possible policy instruments Sweden could use to tackle the external environmental footprint arising from Swedish consumption. This study found around 60 applicable policy instruments.
Identifying relevant policy instruments, to address product categories and source countries of most concern – including existing policies that are or could be applied, perhaps with adaptations, and policies that could be introduced.
Classifying and prioritizing the policy instruments, as the basis for formulating an action strategy.
The brief then offers some headline findings and policy considerations, which could be applicable to other countries seeking to reduce their external environmental footprint through policy.

Larry Reinhold, Chief Executive Officer, said, "In the third quarter, our Industrial Products Group delivered an all-time record performance. Sales increased over 15% organically compared to the third quarter of last year, and the rate of sales growth has accelerated for five consecutive quarters. Demand was robust across the business with solid performance in our managed sales channels, as well as continued generation of new customers through our leading e-commerce platform. Operating leverage remains healthy, with segment operating margin above 10% for the second consecutive quarter and expanded from the third quarter of last year. We saw no material impact on the business or profitability from tariffs in the quarter."
"The sale of our France business in August generated gross proceeds of almost $270 million dollars, before taxes and transaction costs, and marked the completion of the strategic restructuring of our operations. Today, we are focused on driving profitable growth within the Industrial Products Group, which is a healthy and high performing business that has delivered consistent double-digit organic revenue increases for many years. Industrial has significantly expanded its operations, improved its profitability dramatically, and has multiple growth opportunities in its future. It is uniquely positioned to serve the SMB market and we are making investments to further enhance its competitive position and expand the value we bring to customers. With strong cash flow generation and an exceptional balance sheet we have significant financial flexibility to capitalize on our growth opportunities, pursue strategic M&A and return capital to our shareholders."
At September 30, 2018, the Company had total working capital of $346.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of $302.8 million and excess availability under its credit facility of approximately $71.1 million. Our cash position reflects the repatriation of the cash generated from the sale of our France business less taxes and transaction costs associated with the sale most of which were paid in September. The Company's board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.11 per share to common stock shareholders of record at the close of business on November 12, 2018, payable on November 19, 2018. The Company anticipates continuing a regular quarterly dividend in the future.

Heroic move past Endpoint in BLAST Premier Showdown
Republished by Plato
Heroic have clinched a spot in the quarter-final stage of the BLAST Premier Showdown following a hard-fought win against Endpoint. With wind in their sails following their first-ever qualification for the ESL Pro League, the British team came out swinging and took the lead in the series with a resolute defensive performance on Train.
The Danes responded on Overpass — a map they dominated from start to finish — to level up the series before heading to Inferno. They almost let the decider map slip through their fingers, but in the end, their experience, as well as Casper "cadiaN" Møller's AWPing prowess, made the difference.
Heroic, who will go on to face mousesports, looked surprising off-colour at times but still were deserved winners in this keenly-contested series. However, credit has to be given to Endpoint, who were fired up with a tremendous will, even though they were coming off four official maps.
cadiaN put in a series-high 1.38 rating as Heroic came from behind
The Danish team made a lively start to the game on Train and raced to a 7-1 lead on the CT side. Endpoint, whose sole round victory up until that point had come on a force-buy, slowly grew in stature and dominated proceedings in the final stages of the half to reduce the deficit to five rounds before the break, with Max "MiGHTYMAX" Heath raising eyebrows with a 1v3 clutch in the 14th round.
Heroic halted that momentum after switching to the T side with a clean pistol round, only to be caught off-guard once again in the following round as Kia "Surreal" Man picked up a trio of Desert Eagle kills. It was a key moment in the game as Endpoint took immediate control of the game, shutting out the Heroic offense in style and winning every clutch situation, including another 1v3 by MiGHTYMAX, from there on out to secure the map.
Overpass followed the same pattern as Train, with Heroic taking the game to their opponents, who appeared dazed during the early stages. Endpoint tightened up and gradually found their stride, but they could only muster five rounds in the half.
cadiaN lit up the server in the second pistol round as he won a 1v2 clutch in a round that seemed to be under control by Endpoint. After going down 5-14, the British team woke up from their slumber and put some rounds together, but a comeback proved beyond them as Heroic quickly wrapped things up.
Inferno began with Endpoint taking a 3-0 lead off the back of a flawless pistol round, but they fizzled out as the game went on. Heroic went into the break up 9-6, and indeed the scoreline could have been heavier as cadiaN's side lost a 2v1 situation to Robin "robiin" Sjögren and also an anti-eco round.
Endpoint came out of the break looking revitalised and took the lead after winning the initial four rounds of the half. Nerves started to kick in for both teams, with Heroic winning an eco round but then letting Surreal get an ace when he was in a 2v5 situation. But after that blunder, the Danes put their foot down and held back their opponents for the rest of the game.

LEC announces 2021 casting team with the additions of Caedrel and Foxdrop
With the start of the Spring Split only a few days away, today the League of Legends European Championship announced their full casting lineup for the 2021 season. The announcement comes after a challenging year for esports broadcasting across the globe, and sees the return of some of the LEC's most recognisable faces, along with a few new additions to the talent team.
2020 was a year that saw esports broadcast teams challenged to produce remote broadcasts with little to no turnaround time due to the COVID-19 pandemic–with the LEC in particular forced to move online with little to no notice after a member of the onsite crew became exposed to the virus back in March of 2020.
However, the LEC adapted quickly and were praised by many for their handling of the unfortunate situation, maintaining a high level of production (albeit with a few mishaps in the split's first few weeks.) Due to the changing of lockdown restrictions in Berlin, the LEC was able to return to an in-person broadcast in the first week of the Summer Split. Players continued to play from remote setups, but broadcast and production staff were able to return to the studio in order to continue delivering a high standard of production to fans across the globe.
After such a turbulent year, the broadcast team has seen some shakeups in the offseason- most notably with the departure of analyst Froskurinn. Stepping in as analysts alongside Vedius and Ender are previous LEC guest casters Foxdrop and Caedrel, with Caedrel having retired from professional play earlier this year in order to pursue a career in content creation.
The remainder of the LEC team will remain unchanged–with Sjokz and Quickshot both boasting their ninth consecutive years as prominent faces of European League of Legends broadcasting. Joining them will be an impressive roster of play-by-play casters, analysts and interviewers, with Medic, Vedius, Drakos, Ender and Laure all returning for 2021.
The LEC will return on Jan. 22.

degster: "I really want to play constantly against the best teams in the world"
Abdul "degster" Gasanov will grind CS:GO as much as he can while waiting for the right offer, the 19-year-old told HLTV.org after Espada made him and Robert "Patsi" Isyanov available for transfer and released the rest of the team last week. The Russian AWPer averaged a 1.25 rating in 2020, but is this enough to convince the top teams, including the ones in his own region, to sign him?
degster is on the market after Espada decided to disband the team
"in my mind, if I grow and show that my level of play is higher than that of the rest, then any team could have a place for me,"degster told HLTV.org. "I understand that all this is conditional, but I believe that I need to continue to work on myself with even more diligence, and then people who want to win will want to play with me."
The 19-year-old had been playing for Espada since May 2019, helping the team to cement a stop inside the top 30, but that was not enough to keep the roster together. degster said that the team had been in regular contact with the management before the disbandment was announced and that the players understood why the organisation pulled the plug on the project.
The Russian AWPer added that he feels ready to make the jump to the top flight, reaffirming the same winning mentality that he had displayed when interviewed for our One for the future article.
"I really want to play constantly against the best teams in the world," he said. "I have already played against them in practice and official games, and some adaptation is necessary, but I am confident that I can do it and I will work even harder for this."
With no official matches on the horizon, it's presumably harder for a player to stay motivated, but degster already has a plan. "I'm going to play FPL and watch all the games from best teams when the season starts," degster said. On Sunday, he helped Sprout to win ESL Meisterschaft Autumn, putting up a series-high 1.34 rating in the nail-biting final against BIG.
Teams should soon be lining up to sign degster, but they will first need to reach an agreement with Espada. Smaller CIS organisations usually demand huge buyouts, but the 19-year-old has assured that Espada will not keep him from joining another team in case an interesting offer arrives. His faith will soon be put to the test as the player break is about to end.

How to fix freezing and crashing in Apex Legends
Freezing and crashing are the last things you want when playing Apex Legends.
Apex has improved leaps and bounds since its release in 2019—from both a gameplay and narrative perspective—but despite Respawn Entertainment's best efforts unstable FPS and lag are still all too frequent in the award-winning battle royale.
Widespread reports of freezing and crashing have littered the forums with some players experiencing game-jittering, and others complaining that they can't join a match.
Why you can't run Apex
If Apex isn't loading and you're stuck on a loading screen, first check if your system meets the game's minimum requirements.
You most certainly don't need to break the bank to play Apex, but there a few requirements to take into consideration. If you're running an AMD Phenom processor, for example, you'll have to upgrade your CPU.
Apex freezing and crashing checklist
If you've met all of Apex's minimum requirements and you're still scratching your head unable to join the game, there are a few tweaks that you can make to your system that could help solve the issue.
Update your driver
Keeping your driver up to date is crucial when playing Apex. AMD and Nvidia have released drivers for their video cards that optimize and fix issues related to the game. Install them and see if they take effect.
Downgrade your driver
If you updated your driver to the most recent versions mentioned above and it's still not working, rolling back to the previous version of the driver is advised.
Disable Freesync, G-Sync, and others
Some video cards have sync options that could cause issues with Apex when paired with the game's own Vertical Sync. Disabling this feature may solve freezing and crashing.
A few players on the forums have reported issues with AMD's FX-6000 series processors. Some say small tweaks, like playing in windowed mode, solved their problem, while several others claim that disabling two out of the six processor cores through your BIOS fixes the issue.
Please note that doing the former will drastically reduce your PC's performance and may cause issues in other software.
Make changes to your game and PC
Repair the game files
Repairing your game files is often a quick and simple fix to freezing and crashing.
When you launch Origin, go to your library, select Apex Legends, and click on the gear icon right of the orange play button. This will open a menu with a repair option.
Reinstall Origin and Apex
If freezing and crashing continue to plague your game, reinstalling Origin and Apex won't hurt. The issues could stem from Origin, a program that is often unreliable.
Add firewall exceptions for both Origin and Apex
A few players have reported their Windows firewall had been preventing access to Origin and Apex. Try disabling it manually.
Disable Origin's FPS overlay
It seems like Origin's overlay that shows your FPS counter might affect the performance of your PC. Follow our guide on how to enable the FPS overlay, but uncheck the box on Origin instead.
"My game keeps freezing"
EA's Support Forums have a topic called Community Crashing Troubleshooting Guide with additional suggestions to try out if you continue to have issues with freezing and crashing.

The biggest prize money winners in esports history
In 2020, esports stars are hardly strapped for cash. While pro gamers were fighting for minuscule amounts of money and peripherals just a decade or so ago, today's players at the highest level fight for millions of dollars each year.
In the last decade, thanks in large part to the popularization of Twitch, fans have started tuning into esports events at a prodigious rate. The growth has been impressive for each consecutive year since and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. That growth in viewership has gone hand in hand with a massive increase in prize money on offer.
In 2019 alone, more than $215 million was awarded across more than 4,600 tournaments. That's compared to just $13.8 million recorded by tracking website Esports Earnings in 2012.
Nearly a quarter of the 2019 total was awarded at the ninth edition of Valve's annual Dota 2 event, The International. A whopping $34.3 million was shared across the 18 participating teams, with eventual champions OG netting a total of $15.6 million.
Of course, these sums have inflated the overall top earners—in fact, the top 11 entries on Esports Earnings are Dota 2 players. But it's not just Dota that has enjoyed this massive growth.
Here are the players with the biggest prize money totals in esports history, from the current leading games to the top titles from the past.
Johan "N0tail" Sundstein – $6.9 million (Dota 2)

The Danish Dota 2 veteran became the top earner in all of esports in 2019 after leading OG to victory at The International for the second year in a row. But even aside from his impressive payday at TI8 and TI9, N0Tail enjoyed incredible success alongside both OG and Team Secret prior to TI, which sets him at the top of this list.
Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf – $3.2 million (Fortnite)

Fortnite exploded in 2018. It quickly became one of the most played games in the world and it was only a matter of time before esports followed suit. The developer of the building frenzy, children-friendly bonanza invested millions of dollars into funding tournaments for the game—and one player, in particular, came out on top. Sentinels Bugha's dominant performance at the Fortnite World Cup pushed the player into esports supremacy in 2019, earning himself an astonishing $3 million.
Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen – $1.9 million (CS:GO)

Danish frag master and Astralis rifler Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen won his fourth Valve Major with the greatest CS:GO team of all time in 2019. Dupreeh played a big part in the team's rise to fame, cleaning up their act, and helping them push to the top of the standings in modern-day Counter-Strike.
Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok – $1.3 million (League of Legends)

The most celebrated pro gamer of all time, Faker is the one constant on the three-time world championship-winning roster, T1. The 23-year-old won the world championship in his debut season and he's still regarded as the greatest player to ever compete in League.
Ian "C6" Porter – $1.2 million (Call of Duty)

The North American Call of Duty star C6 has remained at the top of his game for years. Winning three world championships and 37 major tournaments over the course of his career, C6 has earned more than $1 million in winnings.
Feg – $1 million (Shadowverse)
Making a second appearance at the Shadowverse World Grand Prix in 2018, Japanese representative feg proved himself on the big stage and earned the right to call himself a champion. The somewhat unknown entity entered the digital card game tournament as the underdog, but instead of toppling under the pressure, he won the whole thing.
Cho "Maru" Seong Ju – $889,000 (Starcraft 2)

Asserting his dominance in the world of SC2, Maru has quickly risen up to become one of the game's most successful players in terms of prize winnings. Maru bolstered his earnings by taking winning the $200,000 World Electronic Sports Games in 2018.
Park "Loki" Jeong Yeong – $705,000 (PUBG)
The 22-year-old South Korean PUBG player has gone on a tear over the last couple of years. He secured multiple top-three finishes, won the PUBG Global Invitational 2018, and dominated in the MET Asia Series in 2019.
Bradley "Frosty" Bergstrom – $684,000 (Halo)
The Halo player from North America has performed consistently across four of the franchise's titles, with most of his success coming in Halo 5: Guardians. This includes his victory at the 2016 Halo World Championship, where Frosty and CLG took home $1 million.
To add to his prize winnings, Frosty also competed in Call of Duty last year, winning three events with the Flordia Mutineers. The player, however, has since switched back to Halo.
Lee "Flash" Young Ho – $668,000 (Starcraft: Brood War)
Starcraft: Brood War is regarded as one of the most prestigious and longest-standing examples of the first era of esports. Played almost exclusively in Korea, the level of competition rose to such a degree that it was rare to see new players rise up and dominate the old guard. But Flash was one of them. The Terran player succeeded in setting an entirely new benchmark for how to perform with the race and grew to become the main rival of Brood War's top star, Lee "Jaedong" Jae Dong.
