So, are the #Shahs ladies still facing off over motherhood?
Things got tense, to say the least, when Asa Soltan Rahmati revealed to the group that she was pregnant on Sunday's Shahs of Sunset Season 6 premiere. And it was most intense for Mercedes "MJ" Javid who seemed to spiral following Asa's bump reveal. So when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on premiere night she and Asa (via Twitter) addressed the moment.
"I understand that [people thought I was jealous] because Asa hid the fact that she was planning a pregnancy -- like she never told me that she wanted the number from my doctor and she was planning everything," MJ said while in the Clubhouse. And MJ definitely tuned into the episode, sharing her side of the beef.
Mike Shouhed also appeared on WWHL, sharing that Asa was actively trying to get pregnant, getting treatment, and that her baby wasn't "a miracle baby." MJ also takes issue with the way Asa acted when it came to feeling empathy towards MJ in the wake of her father's health problems.
"This is really, for me, it's a really big deal 'cause I always wanted a sisterhood with Asa. And I feel like we got bamboozled by her and I feel like it'll unfold as you watch the episodes. But at this moment when I got my eggs frozen and I went through the process she asked me a million questions, she didn't share anything and then it was very hurtful and shocking -- like my dad was hanging on for his life and really like my dad is my rock. Nobody knows that he is my man. You don't see him, but that's my everything, so Asa's apathy toward that and then her going like this [and showing her bump], I thought, 'What is it? A new kaftan? What are you doing?' So jealous, I expect the jealous thing, but Tommy and I are planning our wedding and plan to wed and have a baby and it shouldn't be competition. It should be a friendship."
Asa shot back at those allegations on Twitter, sharing, "MJ trash talks me every time she is on Wwhl. What a friend! And that's a lie about her Dad.I was the ONLY person who visited him (off camera)."
During WWHL, MJ was challenged with trying to compliment her former pal. Check out what she had to say, below.
Is Asa Ready for More Kids Already?
Does MJ Have Baby Envy Now That Asa's a Mom?


Every diet says to do something different.
There's the Zone Diet, Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach, and 300,000 others all telling us to consume different percentages of carbs, fat and protein. Ultimately I think what works best is a diet that has a roughly equal percentage of calories from all macronutrient sources.
Sometimes protein should be higher for muscle gain, sometimes carbs should be lower for fat loss, etc… If you choose to go with a strict diet, you will need to compare the macronutrient values of each food you eat in order to get it all right. Even if you just choose a healthy eating diet, at times you should still reference macronutrient info to make sure you are maintaining the correct path.
So, what are the best resources for managing your macronutrients?
Firstly, you should check out the Project Swole posts that describe how much protein you should eat, how many carbs you should eat, and how much fat you should eat.
Next, you should keep a food log for a while. Writing down what you eat, how much you eat, and what is in the food you eat, will go a long way in building a permanent understanding of the macronutrient profiles of your favorite foods.
Finally, you adjust your macronutrients based on your progress, knowing full well that your diet is responsible for 80% of your results.
In order to manage your macronutrients efficiently, you will need some resources for obtaining nutritional breakdowns for the foods on your menu. Believe it or not, there are some resources out there that are even more useful than reading articles on Project Swole.
"Are you more likely to be able to decipher ancient Greek texts than figure out how to construct a diet containing 30% protein, 50% carbohydrate, and 20% fat?
The National Agriculture Library's Food and Nutrition Information Center. Here you can find basic information on dietary supplements, an advanced food composition database, information about the food guide, and a listing of interesting resources about special needs, food allergies, etc.
Nutrition Data is a fantastic resource and although it uses the food database above, may actually offer a better presentation of the food composition data. It doesn't offer the other information, though.
Fit Day is another great food composition site that offers much more including online diet and fitness journals.

On a ledge 1738 feet (530 meters) above Simadalsfjorden in Hardanger, iconic Kjeåsen is located. With its spectacular view, the farm has received much acclaim in television and travel magazines. Now, the property is put up for sale.
Far from urban lifestyle and up the precipitous mountains, lays the old farm Kjeåsen – probably named after baby goats "kje" and "åsen" meaning hillside. It is both a cultural heritage site and a tourist attraction in Eidfjord municipality.
The area is not densely populated – which is an understatement. Norwegians, however have an inherent urge to settle off the beaten track.
– It would be nice to have neighbors, says Bjørg Wiik to NRK.
Since 1967, she has lived close to the capricious nature in the mountains. She moved from Oslo to help her aunt, but has lived there ever since.
In recent winters, she has temporarily been living in Oslo, but the mountain is her favorite habitat.
-Up here, the air is fresh and I enjoy my freedom. It is paradise, she says.
It is uncertain when the first settlers arrived Kjeåsen, but the houses on the farm was built around the 1900s. At that time, there was no road up the hills.
Since the owners moved in 1962, Bjørg Wiik has seen the neighboring farm deteriorate, so unfortunately the buildings are characterized by a lack of maintenance.
The ad does not deny that extensively renovation is necessary.
– It is sad to think that things will lapse, Bjørg says. She often reminisces about the old days.
Before the road came in 1974, everything had to be carried up and down the precipitous mountain by either horse and carriage, oxen or man power. The thirteen children growing up in Kjeåsen in the 1900s walked up and down to go to school.
The property is licensable. Because of the property's character and location, there are certain requirements to safeguard the unique cultural landscape.
Whoa! That makes me dizzy just looking at the cliff.
Wow I gotta check it out!

While you may have considered many different community service ideas for your family, you might have run into the problem that not all are age appropriate. Selecting a volunteering opportunity for your family requires that the opportunity be fun, safe and kid friendly. Below are five volunteering ideas for your family during the holidays.
Many charities have volunteer jobs which can be done from home. These jobs range from creating flyers to advertising special events hosted by the charity to creating gift baskets of food or clothing for needy families. This type of volunteer opportunity permits your whole family to participate in the fun, but requires very little travel or time set aside for the project. Contact local charity organizations and see what they need help with. These opportunities will allow your entire family to be involved, including small children.
Women's volunteer organizations often host holiday charity events, such as a party for underprivileged children. It is likely that children will be permitted to volunteer and that the event will be safe. These events will allow your children to help other children or even participate themselves in the fun.
Many times, members of your neighborhood may be in need of assistance. Consider whether any elderly, handicapped or other needy individuals live in your area and if you could somehow bring them joy over the holidays. Perhaps you could invite the needy individuals over to your house for a meal or bring them a meal that your family cooked together. Another great idea is to help decorate a senior citizen's home with Christmas lights. This activity will be fun for you and your children and make the recipient smile. Don't be surprised if you're offered cookies when you return to take the lights down after the holidays.
Your local senior center or retirement home will likely have many volunteer opportunities for families. These opportunities range from helping during a holiday party to making Saturday visits or even to helping decorate group living spaces. Additionally, these spaces will be safe for you and your family. Senior residents, too, will love having your children nearby to spice up the holidays.
If you have been unsuccessful in finding a volunteering opportunity for your family, consider adopting a needy family over the holidays. Many churches and schools support entire families over the holidays; contact them to see if you can help with giving another family a great holiday. Your participation could include preparing a meal, giving gifts or even purchasing a Christmas tree and decorations for the other family. Before shopping, however, make it clear that the purchases are intended for another family and that what your children choose will go to another child in need; this will prevent you from having some upset children when their chosen gifts aren't later received.


November 18, 2016 – The early missions of Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft will be the first of several missions that travel more than 40,000 miles beyond the moon to demonstrate capabilities in deep space farther than humans have ever traveled, but close enough to return home in days or weeks if needed. With the SLS, Orion, and Exploration Ground Systems programs now past their respective critical design reviews and flight hardware in production for the first integrated mission, NASA is transitioning from design and development to long-term affordability and sustainability in support of the Journey to Mars.
The agency issued a request for information (RFI) inviting industry and NASA centers to provide input that will maximize the long term efficiency and sustainability of production, operations, and maintenance for SLS, Orion, and the supporting ground systems, thereby freeing resources to invest in additional capabilities needed to extend a permanent human presence into deep space. Other required deep space exploration capabilities include habitation, spacewalk activity and docking systems, in-space propulsion, and Mars surface exploration systems, as well as continuous safety improvements.
NASA aims to maximize the long term affordability and sustainability of these programs by minimizing production, operations, and maintenance costs. Potential responses may include ideas and approaches related to acquisition; design, engineering, or workforce changes; concepts of operation; and management. The information submitted in response to this RFI will inform future acquisition approaches and concepts.
This RFI is one element of NASA's overall strategic emphasis on promoting sustainable exploration of the solar system by actively soliciting innovative solutions and partnership opportunities. The focus of this RFI is on efficiencies across the Exploration Systems Development enterprise including the SLS, Orion, and Exploration Ground Systems programs. The results of this RFI will complement the information sought in previous NASA requests as the agency continues to mature its exploration plans. Two recent requests for information have sought responses on the production and operations of future Orion spacecraft as well as possible payload concepts for the second flight of the SLS rocket.
The RFI for Orion production and operations focused on acquisition planning for the production and operations of the Orion spacecraft, including assessing of the feasibility of competition for Orion spacecraft for the third exploration mission and beyond. The request for payloads concepts on SLS focused on planning for potential scientific and technological payloads that could further NASA's exploration objectives on the second mission and could be co-manifested within the universal stage adaptor that sits between the Orion spacecraft and rocket's upper stage.
Achieving the goal of extending a permanent human presence in deep space requires both a cadence of progress and continuity of purpose over many years as well as strategic flexibility to take advantage of new capabilities, innovative business models, new discoveries, new technologies, and other emerging opportunities as they present themselves, including those available through strategic acquisition planning.

WPF: Wisconsin Taxes as Share of Income Drop for Ninth Straight Year
By John Forester | January 12, 2021
From WisPolitics.com …
For the ninth straight year, state and local taxes paid by Wisconsin individuals and businesses dipped as a share of income, according to a new report from the Wisconsin Policy Forum.
The report found both state and local taxes grew 2.3 percent to $31.7 billion in fiscal year 2019-20. But income growth, including wages, employer benefits and business income, outpaced the increase in tax collections, helping drive down the tax burden.
A slowdown in state tax collections also impacted the calculation. They grew 1.5 percent in 2020 to $20.7 billion, the smallest increase in a decade.
For 2019-20, state and local taxes accounted for 10.2 percent of personal income, down from 10.3 percent the year before. The Wisconsin Policy Forum said it was the lowest burden since at least 1970, when it began tracking the numbers.
The Wisconsin Policy Forum doesn't have a national comparison for its look at the state-local tax burden. The most recent national comparison is based on numbers from the Census Bureau and showed the state ranked 23rd highest in 2018 for the state-local tax burden. That was down from 17th highest the year before.

Senate Committee Amends Assembly COVID-19 Bill
Senate Org on a party-line 3-2 vote today approved a scaled-back COVID-19 bill that GOP Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu plans to put on the floor tomorrow.
While the amended bill pulls out some provisions from an Assembly bill that were expected to draw opposition from Gov. Tony Evers, LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, acknowledged he wasn't sure the new version would win the guv's support.
A spokeswoman for Evers didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
LeMahieu told the committee most of the provisions in the amended bill were extensions of the COVID-19 legislation that passed both houses last spring and was signed into law by the guv. He said another eight were also included in the bill that Evers released last month and portrayed as a compromise with GOP legislative leaders, though LeMahieu and Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, disputed that.
The amended Senate bill includes two provisions that LeMahieu said go "above and beyond" the guv's bill:
*One would allow the designation of an "essential visitor" for those who are in nursing homes and assisted living facilities to ensure someone could see them in person amid restrictions on visits during the pandemic.
*The second is a provision that would provide liability protections for schools, churches, non-profits, businesses and others.
Both provisions were also in the bill that cleared the Assembly last week.
"We need to make sure that they're protected from frivolous lawsuits. That's what we're trying to solve with this," LeMahieu said.
Senate Minority Leader Janet Bewley, D-Town of Mason, raised concerns the limits on liability would encourage businesses to ignore state and local restrictions designed to prevent the spread of the disease.
She also questioned why the bill was put before Senate Org after the Finance Committee was originally scheduled to hear public testimony and vote on the bill.
"We've had months and months of no action and suddenly now time is of the essence and we're contouring Senate Org in order to have this come through," Bewley said.
Under the bill, the immunity wouldn't apply if the entity engaged in "reckless or wanton conduct or intentional misconduct."
The bill states noncompliance with any national, state or local order requiring closure or limiting capacity doesn't qualify as reckless or wanton conduct.
The protections would apply to claims beginning March 1, but wouldn't be applied retroactively to those already filed before the bill became law.
The hearing led off with a string of speakers from business groups and others expressing support for the liability provision.
As the hearing continued, some urged the Senate to take up the Assembly bill, which includes a prohibition on requiring the COVID-19 vaccine as a requirement for employment.
Some of the provisions in the Assembly bill that didn't make the Senate version include:
*barring schools from denying an open enrollment application for any reason during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years if the pupil's parents and the nonresident school board agree the transfer would be in the student's best interest.
*requiring a two-thirds vote by school boards before providing virtual instruction instead of in-person learning. The approval would be good for 14 days, when the board would have to reauthorize it with another two-thirds majority.
*restricting the powers of local health officials to close businesses due to a pandemic.
*banning state and local officials from closing or forbidding gatherings at places of worship to control the COVID-19 outbreak.
*authorizing dentists to administer the COVID-19 vaccine.
*requiring Evers to submit plans to spend federal funds related to COVID-19. Under the provision, the Joint Finance Committee would have oversight through the 14-day passive review process.
Vos, R-Rochester, last week expressed confidence the Assembly version of the bill would clear the Senate. After LeMahieu suggested there wasn't an agreement on the legislation, Vos said the situation was "bizarre."
A Vos spokeswoman didn't immediately return a call seeking comment on the Senate version of the bill.
LFB Summary of Senate Substitute Amendment to AB 1
The Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) has released a summary of the provisions of Senate Substitute Amendment 1 to Assembly Bill 1. Check it out here.
Senate GOP to Amend Assembly COVID-19 Bill
Senate Republicans plan to amend the Assembly's COVID-19 bill to drop provisions that would bar employers from requiring a vaccine as a condition of employment and strip local and state officials of the power to restrict gatherings at places of worship.
The substitute amendment a Senate committee plans to take up today also would drop an Assembly provision that would require a two-thirds vote by school boards before providing virtual instruction. Under the Assembly bill, that approval would have to be renewed every 14 days.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, introduced his bill a week ago, expressing confidence the Senate would take it up and pass it. But not long before the Assembly went to the floor, Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, told reporters there wasn't an agreement on the bill.
Senate GOP leaders had originally planned to have the Finance Committee have a public hearing on the bill before amending it. They instead will put the bill before Senate Org for the public hearing later this morning and then an exec.
Read the substitute amendment here.
See the Assembly bill here.
Senate Finance Committee to Amend Assembly COVID Relief Bill
The Senate Finance Committee meets today to amend the Assembly's COVID-19 bill.
The committee will first have a public hearing at 11 a.m. before moving to an executive session.
The Senate expects to be in tomorrow to approve the revised legislation. The same version of the bill has to pass both houses before it could go to the Gov. Tony Evers' desk.
On "UPFRONT" this weekend, State Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, expressed hope the Senate would pass a COVID-19 bill that Dem Gov. Tony Evers would sign.
"We feel that we're really close," he said.
LeMahieu said he continues to work with Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, and called the Assembly's COVID-19 bill "a good bill."
"But what we're looking to do in the Senate is find a bill, and this is our goal all along, that we're confident the governor will sign, so that that way we can get that bill done for the state of Wisconsin," he said.
Assembly GOP Moves Ahead With Plans to Pass AB 1
By John Forester | January 6, 2021
Assembly Republicans moved forward yesterday with their plan to pass Assembly Bill 1, their COVID-19 relief package. Following yesterday's public hearing on the bill, the members of the Assembly Health Committee recommended the bill for passage on a 11-5 party-line vote. AB 1 is slated for Assembly floor action on Thursday. The Senate's intentions regarding the bill remain uncertain at this point. Governor Evers has signaled a likely veto should the bill pass both houses and land on his desk.
The SAA has thus far chosen not to jump into the highly charged partisan fray and take a position on the bill. As you know, AB 1 addresses two of the items the SAA advocated for as part of its Statutory Flexibility Agenda; namely, immunity from civil liability and flexibility in rehiring annuitants. However, we also do not support provisions in the bill regarding open enrollment, additional virtual instruction reports, student-athlete participation, and the two-thirds school board vote for virtual instruction.
The SAA continues to engage lawmakers in both parties on these issues. We will keep the SAA membership apprised of any new developments. Stay tuned.
Assembly GOP COVID Package on the Fast Track
Assembly Bill 1, the Assembly GOP COVID Relief package, will receive a public hearing before the Assembly Health Committee this morning beginning at 11am in Room 412E, State Capitol. It is our understanding the bill is on the fastest of fast tracks in the Assembly, with Assembly GOP leadership intending to pass the bill on the floor of the Assembly on Thursday. As of this writing, we are unsure of the Senate's intentions regarding the bill. See the Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) summary (link below) for more information.
AB 1 contains a couple of provisions the SAA advocated for in its Statutory Flexibility Agenda. It also contains several provisions we do not support. Stay tuned.

Le Collège militaire de la Cour suprême de l'URSS (en , Voïennaïa kolleguia Verkhovnogo souda SSSR) est un tribunal créé en 1924 auprès de la Cour suprême de l'URSS pour juger les personnels de haut rang de l'Armée rouge et de la Flotte. En outre, il était le supérieur immédiat des tribunaux militaires et l'autorité suprême des pourvois militaires.

Historique

Le rôle du Collège militaire changea radicalement en , lorsqu'il fut chargé d'examiner les affaires tombant sous le coup de l'Article 58 du code pénal de la RSFSR concernant les « activités contre-révolutionnaires ».

Durant la Grande Terreur de 1937-1938, lancée par l'ordre opérationnel n° 00447 du NKVD du 30 juillet 1937,  personnes furent arrêtées sur la base de quotas régionaux et  furent exécutées. Le Collège militaire de la Cour suprême dirigea spécifiquement la répression contre les cadres du Parti communiste : il jugea  personnes, dont 85 pour cent furent condamnées à mort. Toutes ces condamnations avaient été sanctionnées par Staline dont la signature figurait au bas de 383 listes de condamnés. Le Collège militaire fut notamment chargé des grands procès-spectacle staliniens. Les autres condamnations étaient prononcées de manière extrajudiciaire par des troïkas du NKVD.

Après la mort de Staline, le Collège militaire fut chargé de la réhabilitation de nombreux condamnés.

À partir de 1991, après la dislocation de l'URSS, le Collège militaire de la Cour suprême de la fédération de Russie en reprend les attributions.

Présidents
30 novembre 1923-2 février 1926 : Valentin Trifonov.
 1926-1948 : colonel général de la justice Vassili Oulrikh .
 1948-1957 : lieutenant-général de la justice .
 1957-1964 : lieutenant-général de la justice Viktor Borissoglebski (1913-1964).
 1964-1971 : lieutenant-général de la justice Nikolaï Tchistiakov (1914-2008).
 1975-1989 : lieutenant-général de la justice Gueorgui Bouchouïev (Бушуев Георгий Иванович)

Temprid FX Insecticide replaces Temprid SC, which has been discontinued. Temprid FX contains the same active ingredients as Temprid SC, but with a new expanded label that allow for the treatment of mosquitos and use on ornamentals!
Temprid FX is a multi-purpose suspension concentrate insecticide that can be used both indoors and outside. The FX stands for 'flexibility' because Temprid FX can be used on a large variety of pests in many settings. Combining the fast-acting power of beta-cyfluthrin and the transferal power of imidacloprid, Temprid FX can be used to combat ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, flies, spiders, and more. Target treat your home in places where pests have been spotted or give the outside of your home a perimeter spray (3 feet up and 3 feet out around the foundation of the home) to prevent future infestations.
Now available in an easy-to-use 8mL bottle! These convenient 8mL bottles make 1 gallon of finished solution and eliminates the need to measure!
Treat entry points, such as around water pipes, doors, windows, eaves, and areas where pests normally feed or hide, such as baseboards, corners, around water pipes, and more.
Temprid FX is a dual-active suspension concentrate insecticide with two powerful active ingredients, beta-cyfluthrin and imidacloprid. Both active ingredients target the nervous system of pests. The ingredients are co-milled, meaning pests are exposed to both ingredients with every application. Beta-cyfluthrin, a pyrethrin, kills quickly while imidacloprid provides a slower kill. Imidacloprid is used for its transferal properties where a pest that is affected can transfer the product onto an untreated pest. This makes Temprid FX great for roaches, ants, and other social colony pests.
Temprid FX is a multi-purpose suspension concentrate insecticide that can be used both indoors and outside. Temprid FX can be used on a large variety of pests in many settings.
Temprid FX is a dual-active insecticide that is effective for up to 90 days, controls more than 50 insect pests, and requires a lower dilution rate, allowing you to get more product for less money. The two active ingredients in Temprid FX are co-milled which results in pests being exposed to both active ingredients with every application for a quick knock down and long lasting residual control of hard to kill pests. The FX in Temprid FX stands for flexibility, because the product can be used on a variety of pests in many applications, both indoors and outside. To use Temprid FX, begin by shaking the concentrate well. Dilute the proper amount of Temprid with the appropriate amount of water in a hand pump tank sprayer. For maintenance or preventative treatments, use 8 milliliters of Temprid per 1 gallon of water. For severe infestations, longer lasting control, and faster knockdown of flying insects, use 16 milliliters of Temprid per 1 gallon of water. 1 gallon of diluted Temprid FX will treat 1,000 square feet. For indoor use, pay special attention to the cracks and crevices around doors, windows, baseboards, pipes, behind and under large appliances, and under sinks. After treating indoors, we highly recommend you treat outdoors, around the barrier of your home or structure, to create a powerful barrier against outdoor pests. With a sprayer, apply Temprid FX from the base of the foundation up and out about 3 feet from the ground, spraying all ground cover around that area. Spray from the base of the foundation up 3 feet on exterior surfaces. Make sure to read all instructions and the entire label carefully to safely and effectively apply Temprid and keep pests away from your home. For easier measuring and convenience, Temprid FX also comes in 8mL single-dose bottles. And it's that easy, with the expert help from DoMyOwn.com. Make sure to subscribe to our channel for more DIY and Product videos.
The Temprid 8ml single dose bottle is great for one time applications. In this video we will show you how to use it for your application needs.
Temprid FX can be used indoors as a spot treatment or as a crack and crevice spray, and outdoors as a perimeter treatment and general surface spray. Temprid FX will not stain and has a low-odor. Always read the product label completely before use. Temprid FX can be used on ornamentals (flowering plants) when they are not in bloom and under soffits, eaves, and outdoor awnings.
To use Temprid FX, mix solution with water in a sprayer and shake vigorously before use. See chart below for correct dilution mixes. Remove all children and pets from area to be sprayed. After treatment, wait 1-2 hours for solution to dry before allowing children and pets back into the treated area. Temprid FX will last for 30 days outdoors and 90 days indoors, but can be applied every 7 to 10 days as needed if there is high pest pressure or bad weather conditions present.
In cracks, crevices, and voids.
Around water pipes, doors, windows, eaves, and other entry points for pests.
On baseboards, corners, behind or underneath ovens and refrigerators, in cabinets, underneath sinks, and other places where pests feed or hide.
Floors and rugs behind furniture, inside closets, and storage areas can be spot treated. Do not apply Temprid FX across the entire floor area.
To apply Temprid FX behind veneers, pipes, chimney bases, into rubble foundations, block or structural voids, under slabs, or in the soil of crawlspaces, use a mist or foam application (equipment and foaming agent sold separately).
Temprid FX is a great product to use when treating for bed bugs because it can be used before heat treatments. Bed bug eggs that are treated directly with Temprid FX are killed outright while young nymphs that emerge from eggs are killed by dried residue.
For infested mattresses, remove bed linens and wash. Dry in a high heat dryer to kill bed bugs. Then, apply solution of Temprid FX and water (8ml product per 1 gallon of water) to tufts, seams, folds, and edges of mattress until moist. Remake bed once mattress dries.
In upholstered furniture, apply to tufts, seams, folds, and edges. Do not apply to flat surfaces where prolonged human contact will occur.
In luggage, apply to seams, folds, and edges until moist. Be sure luggage is empty and do not use or fill luggage until solution is dry.
On baseboards, moldings, curtains, furniture, beneath floor coverings and carpets, in closets, around shelves, and on picture frames, use Temprid FX as a crack and crevice treatment.
Reapply every 7 to 10 days as needed until infestation is eliminated.
Apply to areas where pests can enter a structure, where they have been seen or found, or where they can hide including the surfaces of buildings, porches, patios, around doors and windows, utility entry points, soffit areas, eaves and attic vents, drilled holes, and foundation cracks.
To prevent or control an infestation, apply a spray 3 feet up and 3 feet out around the perimeter of a structure, including walls and around windows, doors, and soffits. Also treat the soil, non-flowering ornamentals, and turf around the structure in a band up to 10 feet wide.
Apply to trees, shrubs, and non-blooming ornamental plants to manage ants and mosquitoes.
Apply along paths, tall grass, and other non-blooming vegetation to manage fleas and ticks.
For stinging insects, treat nests or mounds.
To protect honey bees, only spray Temprid FX when pollinators are not active and there is no wind to carry Temprid FX toward pollinators.
For wood-infesting pests, including drywood termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees and powder post beetles, use a mixture of 8ml (0.27 fluid ounces) of Temprid FX per 1 gallon of water. Apply where pests have been seen or found. Mixture can be applied with a sprayer, brushes, or rollers (all sold separately). Consult product label for specific applications.
The shelf life of Temprid FX is 3 years when stored out of direct sunlight and extreme temperature with the lid tightly shut.
Temprid FX is toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Do not apply where water runs off to lakes, rivers, sewers, drain, and other bodies of water.

My company has been using Temprid SC for almost 3 Years now we do about 20-30 Bed bug Extermination's a day in Michigan Temprid SC Has been very good to us with great results and it will be a great choice! But with all that being said Temprid FX Is the future for our company! They say it's the same formula but there is a difference I don't know what it is but there is a difference! Bed Bug knock down times are extermly faster almost immediate we almost couldn't believe it so we stayed and watched after being sprayed the bed bugs did not move at all they were dead soon as we seen the results we knew that this chemical would be the future. We used this in over 10 homes so far today in the Detroit area same results every time! Got to get back to work guys!
I received this product and a few others 4 weeks after first discovering bedbugs, after trying several other cheap methods. I did 1-2 rooms per day. I removed all items that could be washed and dried twice, I put un-washable knick-knacks, lamps, pictures, books, etc into totes and placed in center of room. I sprayed perimeters of floors, ceilings, window casings, under and behind furniture and the items in my totes. I also used bedlam in furniture seams, and topped the room off with cimexa dust. I did not put fabrics/unnecessary tote items back into the room. I repeated the vacuum, spray, dust process after one week and slowly returned some items. Have not seen a single live bug or bite since first treatments! One month bug free!
Better than expected! Glad we found you guys!
We purchased this product at the suggestion of a friend in the business. After buying a small lakeside cabin for cash we realize that at some point it had had a bedbug problem. We received a professional quote for $2,000 and knew that wasn't feasible! This product, paired with a insect growth inhibitor also purchased from this site, did exactly what it needed to in only three simple applications spaced evenly apart. Can't say enough awesome stuff about your company and the wide range of products they sell! Haven't seen a single bug since the first round! Thank you so much!!
Been using you for years. Still awesome.
What is the difference between Temprid SC and Temprid FX?
Temprid FX Insecticide is the exact same product as the best selling Temprid SC however, there are many new changes. Same suspension concentrate as the SC, the "FX" simply stands for flexibility. Foliar application is now included on the label. With this foliar application, it is highly effective in controlling honeydew feeding ants, and is a great tool against stink bugs in the late summer and fall. Mosquitoes are now on this label as well. They have also added protection for polinators on the FX label. So either product would be an excellent choice for bed bugs and roaches.
Is Temprid FX Insecticide a repellent?
Beta cyfluthrin- a repellent is a nerve pesticide that kills.
No, Temprid FX Insecticide is not a repellent. With its two active ingredients the insecticide has two modes of action, a quicker knock down and a longer residual. When mixed and applied per labeled instructions this insecticide is undetectable to insects thus allowing them the walk through it and come in contact with the chemicals that kill them.
Is Temprid FX Insecticide safe for children?
Temprid FX Insecticide should only be applied to indoor cracks and crevices when children, pets and others are not present. Once the product has completely dried, they can re-enter.
Can I use a pump sprayer I bought from Walmart to apply Temprid FX Insecticide?
Temprid FX Insecticide can be used in any type of pump sprayer following the instructions on the product label for your target pest.
Is there any difference between Temprid SC and Temprid FX Insecticide?
Temprid FX is the exact same product as the best selling Temprid SC however, there are many new changes. Same suspension concentrate as SC, the "FX" simply stands for flexibility. Foliar application is now included on the label. With this foliar application, it is highly effective in controlling honeydew feeding ants, and is a great tool against stink bugs in the late summer and fall. Mosquitoes are now on this label!

2017 is almost over and it feels like it wasn't here that long.
Hey 2016...thanks. I mean it.
Hello Dad! Hi it's Christopher. Yeah the Tribe are back in the World Series!
You really are great. Made to do great things!
Even though it's Father's Day, I can help but think I cute I was when I was a kid.
Pray for peace, love and especially forgiveness.

I didn't have what I would consider a "Good Lent." I had a plan that I thought I executed it fairly well and yet as Easter arrives I wasn't feeling like I had the complete satisfaction that I was hoping for.
I'm not sure why I put so much pressure on having a "Good Lent." Did you have a "Good Lent?" Was this something you even thought about? How does one measure a "Good Lent?"
Conclusion of the plan was attending as many Holy Triduum services as I could. I can't remember the last time I went to Holy Thursday mass, and it had been at least ten years since I went to the evening service for Good Friday. After serving numerous Easter vigils, I think I'm good with skipping that one for a long time. I did however do something each day. Plan accomplished!
Since I had ruled out the vigil, I attended the prayer service on the morning of Holy Saturday. There is no mass, just prayers and songs and therefore it's really short and sweet. I was the first one there, so I cranked out a rosary (and yes I use that term purposely) and tossed in a novena that I'm praying for the month of March as part of my plan to pray one every 30 days. I settled in and waited for us to begin. About five minutes before we started, people started flowing in. Like all good Catholics, we flowed into the back.
One thing I hope to get over in my life is being irritated by late arrivals. It's a work in progress. I can understand if you arrive late if you have kids, but what prevents two grown adults to get to church on time for a 9:00 am event? Sure enough, with a church not even close to half full, and rows and rows of empty pews in front of me, a couple decided that standing next to me was the best spot.
What usually happens next is I am immediately agitated at being agitated. Why does this bother me? Who cares? Move out of the way. Two months ago I resolved to actually move into the middle of the pew to prevent this sort of thing from happening and it works well. But this morning I parked it right on the aisle. And Mr. & Mrs. Late Arrival disrupted me for 5 seconds.
We were signing a hymn and by the time the couple had figured out which page we were on and which specific song (I inadvertently pointed to the wrong one), I mentioned that it was coming to the end. They landed on the final verse and sang the last three words.
The deacon then led us in prayers again, and I noticed that the couple hadn't picked up the prayer book at the front of the chapel when they walked in. So I immediately handed them mine, which included me pointing out the correct place of where we were with the prayers. I walked to the back of the church and picked up a book for myself. On my way back I noticed the woman who had brought her mother in a few minutes before my new friends, and sat right in front of me, did not have a book either. So again I immediately handed her my copy, and returned to the back the church. By the time I sat back down, there was only a few minutes left in the service.
I know what you might be thinking. But trust me, any aggravation was long gone. I was filled with a nice dose of happiness. I was helping people. I had a job to do, and that was getting these people prayer books! I live for small jobs like this. Everyone was very thankful for the quick reaction to help them participate. It felt great!
When we were finished, the couple to my right along with the daughter in front of me, did not know what to do with the books. I offered to take them and return them. Their smiles were greatly appreciated. Another job! I love jobs!
God has a funny sense of humor because of situations like this. Here I am coming to church desiring some quiet contemplation time and hoping to experience something deeply spiritual. I had a plan remember? I get bothered when I feel people disrupt that serious prayer time, and here God wants me to spend a few minutes with people and just help them. I realize I just handed them a book and then returned it for them. But they gave me two jobs and paid me with a laugh and a smile.
Now that Easter is here, I'm not going to measure how my Lent was. My desire to get closer to knowing Jesus is really important and that's good for right now. I didn't wash these people feet like He did with His friends on Holy Thursday, but I also didn't sit there selfishly while they looked around wondering what was going on. If they sat somewhere else, or came in on time, we would not have shared this experience, and frankly I'm not sure my Holy Saturday would have been as enjoyable. While it wasn't part of any "plan," there's a message in realizing that.
It's good to have a plan, whether that's with your job, your family, or your spiritual and physical health. Most times those plans get thrown a curve ball and you have to have the stillness and awareness to react positively. God is there always. Sometimes He shows up late, wants to sit next to you and needs a book. Who can be agitated by that? Not having a "Good Lent" really doesn't matter when the "plan" isn't the most important thing to execute all the time. Be in the moment and appreciate the small graces that come your way. Thank you to my friends for reminding me of that!
Lent may not have been great, but Easter is off to a good start! My prayers are you experience the same great Easter.
It's spring time in Raleigh!
Thanksgiving week 2015 is upon us. This is the opportunity to take a moment to reflect on what we are thankful for; while at the same time race around to spend time (and money) with friends and family.
Nonprofits also take the time to thank those that support their work, combining it with #GivingTuesday, which will be here in exactly 8 days. So while you spend time (and money) with friends and family, they hope you share some of that time (and money) with them.
1. I'm thankful for a job working as a consultant. What a year it's been. What a few years it's been! I can't begin to think of anything else to be thankful for without first giving thanks for a job and the work that I love and enjoy that has also lead me to this place at this time.
2. I'm thankful for the leadership of the Food Bank. I've been so impressed by the overall leadership of this organization from the Board to the President (whom I am particularly thankful for). The Food Bank is headed in a positive thanks to this dynamic group of leaders.
So thank you everyone at the Food Bank. The people that make this place special are having a meaningful impact on the people they serve. I'm excited to see what 2016 has in store for me and this incredible place. Time (and lots of money raised) well spent in my mind!
This past weekend I attended a spiritual retreat at my favorite Jesuit retreat center in Southern Maryland. A year before I went there to reconnect and strengthen my relationship with God and His Son Jesus Christ.
At the time I was facing some serious personal and professional challenges in my life. In fact it was hard to distinguish between the two because my perils were intertwined. I wasn't a happy person and I needed to return to God to help me figure out what His plan was and what I needed to do. Spending 40 hours in silence on 235 acres of wooded land was the perfect place to work on me.
When it was time for me to leave that Sunday, I felt like a new person. God spoke to me in so many ways, basically telling me, "I'm here with you always. Don't worry, we got this." What I hoped to accomplish I did; my faith was strengthened, my resolve was solidified and my anxiety was eased.
Fast forward through the end of 2014 and midway through 2015. Life is better than those hot, uncertain days of summer. I have a job that I absolutely love, I'm living temporarily in a town that I find to fit my exact needs right now in terms of pace, and things to do, and the habits of praying and listening to God get stronger by the day.
So it was with great eagerness and anticipation that I return to Loyola. Again I had a basic need that I wanted to be filled and that was, "Don't try and recreate last year."
I placed my weekend in God's hands and let Him find me. He didn't have to work hard, and our conversations were a more straight forward, rather than fundamental. Not that I didn't need a reminder of basic principles, along with some uplifting messages, but I felt I built upon the foundation we created together in September 2014.
I don't have everything resolved. I'm a work in progress. I need to trust God's will for me. That is the theme for me to discern over; trust. Trust was the final message God had for me this past weekend. On Sunday, just before I was set to leave, I was presented the Prayer of Thomas Merton.
It's that feeling that I plan to build upon over the short and long term. Advent is near, the promise of a Savior. One that walks the path with me. I look forward to retreating again next fall and seeing where I am on the path and the direction I'm headed.
Running in the rain feels so good!
A little rain can't keep me away from views like this!
Me and my Dad in the summer of 1977.
Thank goodness there is no "before" picture.

All students interested in the topic are welcome to take part in this presentation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about cement manufacturing, the different characteristics of oil-well cement, grades, alternatives to cement, carbon emission, other blends that Dyckerhoff manufactures, etc.
Oil-well cements differ from ordinary construction cements, in terms of application and requirements and therefore, applicable standards and extent of quality control during manufacturing. Although cementing is commonly considered as a "commodity" segment during drilling and completing a well, its importance for zonal isolation is unquestionable. Within this, the oil-well cement itself plays a vital role. As for other oil-field materials, after Macondo, the views and requirements on quality oil-well cements seemed to have changed. Properly-developed standards play an essential role in defining basic requirements. On top of this, the huge complexity of the challenging purpose and application down-hole set additional requirements to manufacturers as well as to the users. So, for instance, consistency of reactivity and compatibility with common and enhanced chemicals define an additional level of field requirements for oil-well cements, which can hardly be covered by standards only. This presentation provides basics but also important details about oil-well cement production, quality control and chemistry. The latter being complemented by information about sulfate and CO2 resistance. Apart from standardized "basic cement classes" G and H, which globally dominate the well-cementing industry, other standardized cement classes and future product and standardization trends, e.g. CO2 footprint-reduced composite cements, are discussed as well.
Dr. Heiko Plack holds a Master of Engineering in Mining and a PhD in Petroleum Engineering. He joined Dyckerhoff - one of the world's biggest well-cement producers - in 1994 as Head of Development Laboratory and Technical Consultant to Well Cements. Since 2003, he has been responsible for global oil-well cement sales of the Dyckerhoff Group. Including his PhD phase, he has been involved in the field of well cements for almost 30 years. The greatest part of this is that he has been an active member and workgroup chairman of "API SC 10, Subcommittee on Well Cements" and ISO Subcommittee 3 "Drilling and completion fluids, and well cements" during all these decades. In 2011, he joined the Management Team of Dyckerhoff's Central Europe East Division, to coordinate the sales activities for all cement products sold in Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Czech Republic.

The Chair of Geology and Economic Geology of the Department Applied Geosciences and Geophysics invites students to the presentation "Geostatistical tools for seismic reservoir characterization'' that will be held by Dr. Leonardo Azevedo from the Instituto Superior Técnico (Lisboa, Portugal).
Abstract: Geostatistics has been used as a central modelling technique for hydrocarbon reservoir characterization. This family of tools is of great interest mainly due to its potential in incorporating data with different nature and resolution. Within this framework iterative geostatistical seismic inversion methodologies do play a central role in reservoir modelling and characterization being efficient and reliable tools to integrate simultaneously seismic reflection and well-log data and infer detailed subsurface petro-elastic models along with its intrinsic spatial uncertainty. While the importance of these techniques is growing within the geoscience community there is still a considerably lack of understanding of its applicability limitations. This talk is a guide through the most common geostatistical tools used within this scope and the available geostatistical seismic inversion methodologies from the acoustic into the petro-elastic domain. All the inversion approaches shown are supported by real case applications and compared in order to point out the pros and cons of each technique.

The presentation "UPSCALING WETTABILITY – FROM MOLECULAR INTERACTIONS TO RELATIVE PERMEABILITY" will be held by Maja Rücker, PhD candidate, from Imperial College, London, United Kingdom.
Abstract: Wettability is known to impact both capillary pressure- and relative permeability-saturation functions. To determine these relationships steady and unsteady state flow experiments or Amott spontaneous imbibition tests may be conducted. As these tests are time-consuming and costly, the development of computational tools to simulate experiments and generate realistic relative permeability curves is crucial.
To upscale wettability, that is a molecular scale property to the core scale, different aspects need to be considered: surface roughness at sub-pore scale facilitates fluid film formation, which may impact the flow regimes observed at the pore scale. Results obtained from spontaneous imbibition and flow experiments at core scale are compared with pore-scale fast μCT data, illustrating the impact of sub-pore scale roughness on the pore-scale flow regime.
The mixed-wet surface of the rock leads to a ganglion dynamics flow regime with larger and more frequent oil-filling events than known from waterwet systems. These findings indicate that a simple extrapolation of the flow regime from water-wet conditions appears insufficient to capture the dynamics and connectivity of the oil phase.

Operational Excellence is a long-term goal to introduce sustainable changes in culture and operations. Digital Oilfield and Integrated Operations have been started as strategies 15 years ago, and are still not implemented mainstream.
Will current low oil prices hinder all these long-term goals while quarterly reports are key today?
How will data help to get culture change and strategy implemented in a sustainable way?
This workshop wants to put new ideas and related lessons learned on the table to be discussed. The industry is still struggling with proper field data acquisition, integration and quality control – after all these years.
Progress in information technologies has led to more robust and effective solutions for production operations. Real-time monitoring devices are becoming the norm, providing large volumes of data. Nevertheless, many operators still struggle to retrieve value out of these investments. Properly planned data acquisition, data integration, preparation, and enrichment is still an issue due to migrating data to actionable information.

Let me set the scene. I'm sitting at the end of a hotel bar. My friend is next to me. Next to him is a 30-something business traveler, followed by a 50-something business traveler, and then several others eating their late dinners and drinking Manhattan martinis. There are two female bartenders. We are regular visitors. I don't even have to order. They just verify, "Sam Adams Seasonal? Tall?" as soon as I sit down. There are several TVs above the bar. On the first and third TVs, baseball playoffs; the second and fourth had Thursday Night Football.
3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . Roll Imagination Cameras and Action!
Me: I thought Detroit had stripes when they played away.
Friend: Nope. Just the grays.
Me: Really? Has that always been the case? I mean, not pin stripes – but I really thought there were orange or black stripes.
Friend: No, you are thinking of the Cincinnati Bengals. Football. Not baseball. But yes, the other "Tiger" team.
Me (with glee): Oh, you mean the football team that beat the Patriots and ruined their undefeated season this past weekend? Those Bengals? The ones that beat the cheater coach?
Friend (and Patriots fan): Are you actually saying this to me?
Me: That was the best part of my weekend. Alternating between wanting to throw up and have a heart attack during the Broncos – Cowboys game, I giggled with glee every time a commentator mentioned that Tom Brady and his cheater coach lost to the Bengals.
Me: To clarify, I only love Peyton when he is in uniform and pulls his arm back, creating perfect form to make a throw.
30-something traveler and 50-something traveler are now both trying not to laugh where we can hear them.
Me: I am going to tell you a secret. But, you have to understand that this is not something of which I am proud.
Me: So, when I was in high school . . . no wait, it must have been college. Yes, I was definitely in college. So, 1995 or 96.Not sure which. I was watching an NFL game on TV with some people and the officials had to run the chains out to verify a first down. I didn't understand why they were bothering to run the chains out, when the first down was already marked on the field.
Me: Yeah, I know. Wait for it. . . I did not realize that the yellow line on the television marking the first down distance was just a graphic.
Friend: What? You are kidding, right?
Me: No, I thought that officials on both sides of the field were holding posts attached to a yellow cellophane ribbon that went across the field so the players knew where the first down line was.
Me: And I was amazed at how tightly they kept the cellophane pulled so no one tripped over it during a play.
Friend: Let me get this straight. You thought that the yellow line was really on the field?
Me (voice escalating in pitch and volume): In my defense, it was the 90s. The graphics weren't that good and there was no graphic for the line of scrimmage then.
Friend: That's true; it was before the blue line was marked on TV as well. But, I mean . . .
Me (interrupting): There was no blue line. And it isn't as if I thought the arrows were real when they were displayed. I mean, the yellow line made sense, so players would know when they reached the first down. It made sense . . . stop laughing.
Friend: You are an intelligent girl. How did you think this?
30-something Traveler (unable to resist participating): I can see the confusion.
Me: See? Even Mr. Eavesdropper over here gets it. I mean, it was 1996.
Friend (laughing): He wasn't eavesdropping. The whole bar can hear you.
Me (glancing up at the bar patrons): Then they are all eavesdroppers.
Every guy sitting at the bar is looking at us with varying expressions of joy, mirth, bliss, and glee.
Friend: Well, the story is funny and you are getting worked up about it.
50-something Traveler: I was eavesdropping too. I couldn't help myself. This is fascinating.
Me: You all see my point though, right? It wasn't as if I didn't know how the game was played or something. TV was different then. The graphic . . . I mean . . . It was a viable conclusion to draw. Anyway, the whole point was that I didn't know why they were wasting time running chains. The game would be much better if the line were actually there.
Me: You cannot tell anyone this story. Blood oath.
Me (to 30-something Traveler): You can tell your kids or your grandkids this story if you want. Just stress that it was TV in the 90s. It was a different time then.
AND. . . . CUT. End Scene. PRINT IT! That's a wrap, folks.
PERSONAL NOTE #1: Thank you for understanding that sometimes even bad logic still counts as logic.
PERSONAL NOTE #2: Love whomever you want. Homelessness and vandalism be damned.
CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: I miss you and our friendship each and every day. SWU!
