Is This Wing Chun Actor the Next Robert Downey Jr.?
Could This Wing Chun Actor be the Next Robert Downey Jr.?
I bet you can't tell by watching who is the highly trained and deadly Wing Chun actor... it's the one on the left, the more quiet one in the suit. And this is a good thing!
You couldn't tell that Clark Kent was Superman, or Peter Parker was Spider-Man, or that young Luke Skywalker was the son of Darth Vader.
The same can be said about this classically trained actor and Wing Chun black belt, Adam Burch.
Adam has trained Wing Chun for about five years and his "extracurricular" activity is his acting career.
The clip above comes from the online web series, Tickets R Us. He writes, produces, and acts in the series and the inspiration comes from his experiences working for a prominent theater ticketing office in Los Angeles.
Unlike his acting goals, his Wing Chun goals are a bit more modest, or are they?
Adam is a classically trained actor and has appeared in a number of stage productions. Interestingly, he became an actor, not because of a girl, but because Return of the Jedi was the first movie he watched in a theater, and at that young age he literally thought he was Luke Skywalker.
"Additionally, I've been in a number of plays now where I was involved in fight choreography. Though it's quite a bit different than real fighting, having a basis in martial arts certainly helps." Learn about Adam and ask him to audition in your next film, commercial, or play here:www.adamburch.net.

Concert Camping Tricks
A few tips for making the best out of a night on the sidewalk
Camping out for Louis Tomlinson's World Tour in Kansas City, Missouri. Photo by Brie Williams.
Gabrielle Williams, Reporter
Camping out for a concert is quite the controversial topic. Some may say it's a waste of time, while others may
say it's completely worth it. For first time concert campers, it can be hard to know what to expect while waiting in line. A quick internet search will tell you the basic necessities needed and some things to expect, but the truth is, those lists never really tell you the whole story. Here are the real things you need to know before camping for a concert.
What kind of area are you camping in? One of the
best things you can do to prepare for your concert is to go to the area you're camping at beforehand. Knowing
where you are camping can help you better decide what you need. For example, you can decide what size chairs or tent you can fit on the sidewalk near the venue, what
stores and restaurants are close by, and where you can
park. When I camped out for a show at The Pageant,
there was meter parking next to the sidewalk we were
on, which was really convenient for getting to and from
the car. There was also a Walgreens close by our venue,
which helped us get more drinks and snacks.
What things do you really need to bring? It is better
to overpack than to underpack, however, lugging around a lot of things can make the experience a lot more stressful. Think about who else will be in line and how much time you will likely spend talking to them. It can be easy to assume you will have a lot of free time to read or get work done while in line, but sometimes the environment may not allow this. Morgan Skube, one of the campers for Louis Tomlinson's Kansas City show, was surprised that the time passed quickly "I was expecting to be bored the whole time, but I ended up meeting a lot of other fans
and just hanging out with them the whole day in line," she said. While in line for Louis Tomlinson's show, it was really hard to eat because we were so excited. It is really important to pack a lot of snacks, and force yourself to eat throughout the day to make sure you aren't too tired
to enjoy the show.
What do you need to wear? Dressing for the weather is the most important part of camping out for a concert. When it is the dead of winter, it is important to wear as many layers as possible. Also, remember to prioritize keeping your hands and feet warm (Hothands is the secret trick). On the other hand, when it comes to hot weather, dress comfortably and wear lots of sunscreen. Tank tops and shorts are the way to go, but you can't forget the SPF. Sunburns can make you really tired, and that's the last thing you need before going into a concert
A few other important reminders include making
sure your tickets are general admission (otherwise you
would be camping out for no reason), bringing along
a friend to keep you company, eating lots of food and
drinking lots of water in line, and having the time of your life. Camping out for a concert can be the best experience, as long as you have the right attitude and expectations.

I found this article about what scientist have come up with now, a drug that activates the chemical in humans that relieves pain, They have made a drug to take the place of what Cannabis does for pain naturally.. This angers me, Why do they insist on keeping us on drugs that will cause side affects, I don't know of any drug that does not have some sort of side affect, do you? Why do they keep saying that Cannabis has it's many side affects while continuing to say this is why they must come up with something to replace what Cannabis is proven to do for our pain and so much more. Look at what they are trying to do, Look at the money being spent when the cure to many illnesses is right in front of them.
Here is the link to the article if you care to look at it. I find it disturbing..
American and Italian researchers have found that a novel drug allows anandamide – a marijuana-like chemical in the body – to effectively control pain at the site of an injury.
Led by Daniele Piomelli, the Louise Turner Arnold Chair in Neurosciences and director of the Center for Drug Discovery at UC Irvine, the study suggests that such compounds could form the basis of pain medications that don't produce sedation, addiction or other central nervous system side effects common with existing painkillers, such as opiates.
For the study, which appears in the Sept. 19 online version of Nature Neuroscience, rats and mice were given a drug created by Piomelli and colleagues at the Italian universities of Urbino and Parma. The researchers discovered that the compound, URB937, did not enter the central nervous system but simply boosted the levels of anandamide in peripheral tissues. Still, it produced a profound analgesic effect for both acute and chronic pain. This was surprising, since anandamide had been thought to only work in the brain.
The synthetic drug inhibits FAAH, an enzyme in the body that breaks down anandamide, dubbed "the bliss molecule" for its similarities to the active ingredient in marijuana. A neurotransmitter that's part of the endocannabinoid system, anandamide has been shown in studies by Piomelli and others to play analgesic, antianxiety and antidepressant roles. It's also important in regulating food consumption. Blocking FAAH activity enhances the effects of anandamide without generating the "high" seen with marijuana.
Piomelli and his team are now collaborating with drug discovery specialists at the Italian Institute of Technology, in Genoa, to develop the new compound – which is protected by a patent application – into a clinically useful medication.
Deb, cannot get the link to load....might need a kick or some such.
Deb: Big Pharma can't make money from MJ...they have to engineer a synthetic patentable version of it. Yes, it sickens me too.

Good morning. Let's see where the brrright side might be in this.
... by taking out just the words but causes many unwanted effects, we find that cannabis *is* used in clinical settings! Also, it acknowledges the fact that we need to amplify our own natural, marijuana-like chemicals. Yay. Again.
I'm sure there's at least one other Yay! in the part about, "anandamide, dubbed "the bliss molecule" ", but that section is not written for a layperson in the least. At least this layperson.

From the article: "Piomelli and his team are now collaborating with drug discovery specialists at the Italian Institute of Technology, in Genoa, to develop the new compound – which is protected by a patent application – into a clinically useful medication."
There is no other drug out there that can do what cannabis does for the problems I have.. I would rather vape a plant that to pop a pill.
It's all greed. Greed that sadly is slightly effective, has horrible side effects, and slowly kills you. But big pharma can't make money off a medicine that anyone with some dirt and lights can grow. In the end it will be legalized because government can eventually tax it. And Government greed is more powerful than big pharma greed (probably).
There are many issues in presenting manufactured compounds and chemicals to the human body. Solitary, isolated compounds, even from natural sources, generally cause even more problems than the target remedy supposes - especially from side effects. Natural enzymes, phytonutrients, minerals, flavonoids and a host of other trace elements accompany the main compound to provide a balanced efficacy. It is Nature's balanced chemistry that provides healing. Some plant, botanical, extracts can by themselves be harmful or even poisonous. In short: cannabinoids or THC isolated from raw plant matter can be ineffective because they do not have the beneficial parts of the plant that facilitate metabolizing these key elements into the body. ALSO: Remember that light plant fractions (botanicals) are also temperature volatile – they break down at high temperatures: sometimes as low as 43degC (110degF). Therefore when you are medicating with herbal remedies a temperature under 57degC (135degF) is best. To attain this, a slow brewed tea or vaporizer can be utilized. Smoking exposes fragile botanicals to temperatures in excess of 204degC (400degF). The best method and application of herbal, botanical, remedies is extraction. Extraction should be done at a low temperature and with natural solvents (not petrochemicals – they are carcinogenic). The two best methods are ice and bubble bags ("hashish" method) - no chemicals here ;-) just pure, clean water OR ethanol (everclear).

Juget Sinclair
Organbuilders
More DetailsContact us
A team of dedicated artisans
Juget-Sinclair Organbuilders is a small team dedicated to producing the highest quality mechanical action organs available. We have built over 50 instruments in Canada, the USA, Germany, Japan and Hong-Kong.
Doing it all
In order to control the quality of our production, we have made it a goal from our very first instrument, to produce all parts in-house. This commitment to 'doing it all' allows us to maintain a team of dedicated artisans who have a complete understanding of all aspects of their craft. It also allows us to design with a free hand; and doesn't limit us to working within the design constraints of organ parts supply houses. We pride ourselves on providing creative solutions to the challenges our project present. We listen closely to the concerns of organ committees and musicians in order to create instruments that meet their musical needs.
Adapted techniques
We respond to different musical, liturgical, and architectural challenges with solutions that are adapted to each situation. Just as our casework can be classical or modern, our voicing techniques are adapted to suit the musical goals of each instrument.
The vision since the begining in 1994
Since the very beginning of the company, the decision to design and build our instruments ourselves from A to Z has been the core philosophy that guides our approach. Thus, we have a limited production of a highly customized product. To date, Juget-Sinclair organs can be found in Canada, the United States of America, France, Germany, Japan, and Hong Kong.
After a small-scale start in Saint-Basile-Le-Grand, on the south shore of Montreal, Stephen Sinclair became an associate in 1998 and the company was re-formed as "Juget-Sinclair facteurs d'orgues inc." At this point, the shop was moved to the island of Montreal. In 1984, Sinclair had begun his studies in science at McGill University, but soon after, his passion for music and his natural curiosity steered him towards the workshop of Hellmuth Wolff. He apprenticed with Wolff and worked there from 1989 to 1998. During this time, Sinclair went on two exchanges: one in France, and the other in England. At this stage, the company was a team of 6 craftsmen and started to export organs internationally.
In 2002, Robin Côté joined the team. A Montreal native, Côté began his musical training very early as a chorister of the Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal at the Oratory of St. Joseph where he also began organ lessons. Fascinated by the art of organ-building, he joined Juget-Sinclair where he received a full apprenticeship. Côté then did an exchange to France to further his understanding of organs of the 19th century, to hone his skills in the construction of tin façade pipes, and to learn tonal design of French symphonic organs. An extremely versatile craftsman, Côté possesses a mastery and global vision of the organ: from the design, to the production, to the tonal finishing. As a musician, his skills as an organist are highly valued for the presentation of new instruments. Throughout numerous study trips, Côté has been granted special access to the interiors of several significant instruments in France, Germany, Sweden, the United States, and Latvia.
Beginning in 2012, a vision to help the company continue to grow and last well into the future was developed: the decision was made to integrate a third partner. Robin Côté thus joined the direction of the company at 33%. It was at this point that Juget-Sinclair took on its first large 3-manual, 16-foot organ. From 2013 to 2018, Denis Juget, still wishing to remain active in the core of the company, began transferring his responsibilities as president little by little. At the beginning of 2019, Juget finished passing on the torch to Côté and Sinclair.
The company currently has work planned for several years to come, which has enabled it to invest in new machinery of the highest quality, the training of new apprentices, and to take on large projects-to-come with confidence.

Help your developers create a better IT security model
Developers need to be comfortable with their tools to create a strong security model in an organization. Don't overlook these areas or credentials can end up in the wrong hands.
George Lawton
Developers play a major role in the IT management strategy of any organization, but because they represent an edge case, they're often responsible for the launch of new services within the framework. Developers are responsible for creating other services used by employees for a myriad of reasons and also create or rescind credentials for new and outgoing employees. This can create security problems within the organization with access to internal and cloud services.
Developers often take shortcuts to avoid these kinds of issues, such as password sharing or placing credentials on GitHub repositories they consider to be private but that end up being shared. However, leaked security credentials are quite commonplace on GitHub repositories and represent major security vulnerabilities for these organizations.
GitHub's Token Scanning can help introduce some safeguards to prevent leaked credentials, and other tools, such as Amazon's git-secrets, can help scan and identify shared tokens that can create security issues. Developers should explore these tooling options to create a more holistic IT security model for their organization and tie up loose ends that can create major issues for their enterprise.
Improve workflow security
Matt Creager, co-founder and vice president of developer relations at Manifold, a cloud service management platform, decided to reimagine the developer service provisioning process while he was at Heroku, a cloud application platform. He was troubled by how slow the provisioning process was for the cloud infrastructure he needed to develop, test and deploy new apps.
"There was never a holistic view of all the services the development team was dependent on, be it internal or external," he said. Managed services would be introduced to the team by different people, so it was never clear who was responsible for the configuration, billing or key provisioning for each service. When new developers joined the team, it was a manual process to track down exactly who could issue access to each service. If someone left or there was a need to rotate the keys, no one seemed certain of the effect on the surface area of the IT security model.
With third-party managed services, you get portability; you can simply bring your same interfaces along with you to new infrastructure.
Matt CreagerCo-founder and vice president of developer relations, Manifold
Tools like Docker, Terraform and Kubernetes are powerful and have dramatically improved the efficiency with which internal services are provisioned and orchestrated, but they don't make it simple to connect third-party services. If you want an easy transition from start to finish, you must find one that fits your needs first before you register, provision and then manually inject its configuration into every part of your application that will depend on it. However, this isn't often the case.
"That's too much overhead," Creager said. He believes developers should be able to define the services their application depends on in one place using existing tools.
Other tools he worked with provide some of this functionality. For example, the AWS Identity and Access Management infrastructure and single sign-on solutions, like Okta and Centrify, can help centralize credential management. Systems such as Okta and Centrify require some work on the behalf of development teams to set up and configure to get started and require specific knowledge and dedicated resources to operate them.
One of the goals of Manifold was to provide better integration into the developer workflow in a way that eliminated the need to see the keys directly. As a result, developers don't need to worry about what they will need to operate an application for a specific environment or how it evolves over time because the correct services are exposed automatically. "With third-party managed services, you get portability; you can simply bring your same interfaces along with you to new infrastructure," Creager said.
Create an access control tier
Security and ease of use are usually, if not always, competing forces in an IT security model. As developers integrate additional services into the stack, it's typically most challenging to restrict access to these services based on necessity or a developer's role in the organization, said Anurag Goel, founder and CEO of Render, a cloud hosting platform.
A lot of developer-friendly services don't support fine-grained role-based access control (RBAC) yet, so Goel's team ends up with all-or-nothing access patterns, which considerably increase the attack surface.
Another big challenge for Render is the enforcement of multifactor authentication (MFA) across the organization. Many services have a team or organization management structure but don't have the ability for the tool's administrator to say, "I want every member of the organization to use time-based two-factor authentication for this service," Goel said. The same applies to service access logs, which are not always accessible in a self-serve manner.
Goel has also found that almost all services lack support for detection of and alerts on unusual access patterns at the organization level. Most services limit this to access alerts from new IP addresses.
One strategy to secure services that don't offer this feature is to restrict access with an internal RBAC layer for service credentials with a tool such as HashiCorp Vault, which is RBAC-compatible. However, this requires nontrivial engineering resources and increases the complexity of internal tooling.
Regular manual audits to enforce MFA can also help find security vulnerabilities, but like any manual process, this is time-consuming and error-prone.
Another strategy is to restrict external service access by IP and instead only allow corporate or VPN IP addresses. This strategy requires developers to install and maintain VPN connectivity, which isn't always available depending on the type of device being used. Also, this approach doesn't allow the use of services from untrusted networks -- such as coffee shops or other public locations -- which often block VPN connections.
Goel likes to use on-premises versions of third-party services wherever possible. This is obviously only limited to services that offer on-prem versions. These add considerable maintenance costs and infrastructure complexity to the IT security model.

I loved my experience at Club Med Ixtapa Pacific - great resort! The Club Med all-inclusive resort of Ixtapa Pacific is located in Mexico, on the Pacific Coast, 161 miles north of Acapulco. Situated 4 kilometers to the west of the Zona Hotelera, this is one of the few Club Meds offering special programs for infants and toddlers, and as such attracts the family trade, much like its Cancun colleague.
A heavenly Mexican hacienda-style family resort nestled between the Sierra Madre & the Ocean. This upscale family resort is perfect when traveling with babies and children. It is also the best destination for Spa lovers, beach and sports vacations.

Do you have clout? That depends on who you know. Mike Royko, a national columnist and author, wrote in his book, "One More Time," that clout is based on a person's connections. In the Book of Hebrews, we are told that we have a connection with "a Great High Priest," namely Jesus, who has experienced everything possible that a person could experience (Hebrews 4: 14). As a result of this connection, people of faith should live confidence as they draw "near to the throne of grace."
Hold fast to our faith.
Know He is with us in all things.

Is honesty a thing of the past or are people still basically honest. You know that telling the truth is the Ninth Commandment. It's about telling the truth and not "bearing a false witness" against someone else. A Time Magazine edition had a cover story called "Lying,Everybody's Doing It." Lying is not the real problem. The real problem is a problem of the heart.
St. Augustine said there were eight kinds of lies. Mark Twain said there were 869.

Zak Lees has little memory of the night he was almost killed while driving home. It was late in the evening on Saturday, June 26, and the 22-year-old had been returning to the farmhouse he shared with his girlfriend Zoe Brownett near Cargo. She had been trying to call him without success. "I finished working in Blayney and was travelling back home. I couldn't get hold of him or didn't hear from him so I went looking for him, and surely enough, I found him wrapped around a tree," Miss Brownett said. He was unconscious and trapped in the vehicle after hitting a tree on Davys Plains Road. After being cut from his ute by NSW Fire and Rescue, Mr Lees' condition was deemed so critical he was airlifted to St George Hospital in Sydney. "The paramedics thought he was dead that night, but they managed to save him and he was in a coma for two or three days," Miss Brownett said. "It almost killed him. A lot of people have said that they marked him down as dead that night." The damage to Mr Lees' leg was so significant, doctors thought it would have to be amputated. As well as severe nerve damage, his right leg's major ligaments - the ACL and MCL - had also been torn. In addition to having no memory of the accident, the 22-year-old also couldn't recall the day leading up to it, nor even events from the week in which it occurred. Fortunately, after a long two-month hospital stay and many surgeries and skin grafts, his condition finally began to improve. Now, over three months' on from his accident, Mr Lees is back home in the Central West with his girlfriend and pets, and trying to adapt to a lifestyle that is a lot more home-bound and inactive than what he is used to. The impact of the accident has meant having to give up his farmhand job, but according to Miss Brownett, there's been no shortage of support from the community. Among those wanting to help is Mr Lees' former watering hole - the Cargo Inn, with the pub running a raffle to raise money to assist in his road to recovery. It will be drawn on Saturday, October 16, at the pub and tickets can be purchased from there or from Cargo General Store. "He's fairly recovered, he's out of hospital and has been out of hospice [for] about a month now. But he has a huge chunk of skin missing from the back of his leg and... has no feeling in the top of his left foot," Miss Brownett said. "So [he's] still obviously recovering. He's doing rehab and is pretty much home-bound but he's slowly on the mend. "He will be able to work [again] eventually - probably not what he used to do, just with the way his legs are, as he's had two knee reconstructions. Both of his legs were pretty much shattered. "They reckon he might be out for a while but I think being young and healthy and fit is definitely an advantage for him." Our journalists work hard to provide local, up-to-date news to the community.

BUV805 Mouse Anti-Human Neuropilin-1 (CD304)
Clone U21-1283 (RUO)
Alternative Name Neuropilin; NRP; NP1; Blood dendritic cell antigen 4; BDCA-4; VEGF165R
Isotype Mouse IgG2b, κ
Immunogen Recombinant Human Neuropilin-1
The U21-1283 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Neuropilin-1 (NRP1), also known as CD304, Blood dendritic cell antigen 4 (BDCA4), and Vascular endothelial cell growth factor 165 receptor (VEGF165R). CD304 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein involved in the development of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. It mediates the interaction, growth, survival, and migration of a variety of normal and tumor cells. CD304 is expressed on neurons, thymocytes, regulatory T cells, a subset of T follicular helper cells, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, and certain tumor cells. Neuropilin-1 has a very short cytoplasmic domain and interacts with various coreceptors to form ligand-binding, signal-transducing receptor complexes. CD304 complexes with Plexin-A family members to bind chemorepellent Class 3 Semaphorins and guide neuronal axon growth. It also functions as a coreceptor with VEGFR2/CD309 to stimulate angiogenesis in response to VEGF165. CD304 mediates the interactions between some T cells and dendritic cells.

Q: Is there any way to speed up the chopping down of trees? I find chopping down trees to be a long and laborious process, especially when dealing with extremely tall trees, where I need to build a tower up to the top to complete the job.
Is there any way to speed up the chopping down of trees?

A: Treecapitator does this and is highly configurable.

A: Within vanilla minecraft there are a variety of methods for quickly chopping down trees.
From the original question, it is unclear if the desire is clearcutting, or harvesting massive amounts of wood.
For clearcutting, one can use flint and steel and burn the forest.  Back in the days of beta, this could cause quite a spectacle.  In current (release 1.6.4) days, fires do not get out of control, but most wood on most trees is destroyed.
For massive wood production, best to create a farm.  The single most important feature of a farm, is a top barrier to keep trees from growing too large.  (Especially important for oaks).
Once you have a farm, then

*

*Diamond Axes

*enchanted axes of efficiency

*Beacons of Haste

*or Potions of swiftness
are all mechanisms by which your harvesting will be vastly sped up.

A: Yes there is, it's called Timber!

A: Thaumcraft Axe of the stream works nicely too. If you just want to harvest wood though, Forestry will let you set up a pretty much completely automated wood farm pretty easily which you can pipe into a chest with buildcraft pipes or redpower tubes.

A: There are now AFK designs that cage a wither, and have the wither perform the harvesting.  All that is required is steve to plant the saplings.  So, if you want infinite wood, and have infinite bonemeal there is a path:

Let me preface this little story by saying that Phillip is one of the top doctors to go to if you are dizzy or have a balance disorder. But he's not a vet, and for the last two weeks or so he has been fretting about a growth on Stanley's abdomen, just north of his boy parts part. He wanted me to call the vet and I've been putting it off. Then on Sunday it occurred to him to email a photo of said growth to our vet friend for a preliminary diagnosis. So we're trying to get a good shot of Stan's tummy which was very difficult because Sherman wanted to get into the picture (oh, and did I mention that Sherman has a somewhat similar growth in about the same area?) when the light bulb positively IGNITED over the good doctor's head and he realized that this was no more than Stanley's belly button, a BIG outie. Eureka! We've had dogs for fifteen years and never even wondered about their belly buttons. Have you??

Fernanda Takai is the lead singer of the Brazilian rock band Pato Fu, which began recording in 1993 and has continued to release albums on a semi-regular basis. The group's electronica-brushed sound owes as much to northern bands as to tropicalia forbears like Os Mutantes and Caetano Veloso. Takai is married to Pato Fu guitarist John Ulhoa; the couple had a daughter in 2003. Takai released her first solo album five years later, the well-received Onde Brilhem os Olhos Seus, which saw her covering Nara Leao's signature songs.
