Things Are Looking Up For The Montauk Observatory

With the long-awaited construction of the Montauk Observatory's observatory at the Ross School nearly complete, a familiar face to East End astronomers has stepped up to serve as executive director of the non-profit community astronomy group.
Donna McCormick was serving as president of Southold's Custer Institute when she was first introduced to the astronomy community working to put together the South Fork's first public observatory.
She lives in Selden, but "I travel for astronomy," she said of her long interest in the East End's skies, which are far more conducive to stargazing than the skies under the haze of light thrown off from suburbia.

"I came across them when they were starting up — we crossed paths and helped each other out. They've been looking for ways to establish roots," she said.
"Looking to the future of our organization, the Montauk Observatory Board recently began searching for the person who could lead us into our next chapter and we believe we have found that person," said Montauk Observatory board member Sean Tvelia in an email introducing Ms. McCormick to the group's members earlier this month. "Donna has served on the observatory's advisory board for many years and brings years of experience working in the not-for-profit sector. We are excited to welcome Donna to this new position and look forward to growing the observatory under her leadership."
Ten years ago, the Montauk Observatory hosted its first star party at Montauk County Park, then known as Theodore Roosevelt County Park, in Montauk.
But while the sky conditions in Montauk were ideal for astronomy, the bureaucratic conditions were less so.
Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, then working as the South Fork's Suffolk County Legislator and a former science teacher from Montauk, had long been a stalwart supporter of the Montauk Observatory.
But then-County Executive Steve Levy vetoed his plan to purchase the telescope from the Biosphere II project in Arizona, and members of the observatory then worked to fundraise together to purchase their 20-inch Meade RCX 400 telescope, a research-grade telescope at a fraction of the cost of the Biosphere telescope.
But the county still resisted their efforts to build an observatory to house the telescope in Montauk, and the group set off in search of a new venue.
In recent years The Ross School has welcomed the Montauk Observatory's astronomers, who organize regular lectures at the school's Tennis Center and bring their telescopes to the school for evenings of stargazing.
The Montauk Observatory is now putting the final touches on an observatory dome to house its telescope at The Ross School, and Ms. McCormick said she hopes to make it available for remote online access for students, researchers and the general public.
She also hopes to stream the organization's longstanding lectures series on their website.
The Montauk Observatory is planning a grand opening for the observatory sometime this fall, and has stepped up its lecture series offerings, with two lectures planned in the next two weeks.
The first lecture, to be held tonight at 7:30 p.m., will be given by Dr. Ian Czekala, who grew up stargazing under the dark night skies of the East End. Now 28 years old, he just received his PhD in astrophysics from Harvard University and will join Stanford University as a research fellow this fall.
He will talk about his experiences of studying to become a professional astronomer and describe what it is like to do research at several of the world's largest observatories.
More information on Dr. Czekala's lecture is online here.
Next Thursday, Aug. 25 at 7:30 p.m., Dr. Mike Inglis will discuss NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter, reviewing our current understanding of Jupiter, what the latest mission will hopefully tell us, and the mission's plan to search for evidence of life on Jupiter's moons.
More information on Dr. Inglis's lecture is online here.

Steps in the NO to NO2 oxidation reaction, catalyzed by Pt nanoparticles. Particles tended to flatten, or redisperse, with PtO forming on their surfaces.
Stricter environmental regulations enacted in the last few years are putting a squeeze on emissions from car engines, including nitrogen oxide. While modern "lean-burn" gasoline and diesel vehicles use less fuel, they also require more oxygen. As a result, traditional three-way catalytic converters – which scrub out the nitrogen oxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide – don't adequately reduce the rate of nitrogen oxide emissions.
These circumstances are spurring researchers to investigate how to optimize the catalytic reactions that govern the storage and reduction of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2, collectively denoted NOx) in a vehicle's exhaust stream. These updated processes require a catalyst that performs two jobs: a storage function, often using a barium-oxide-based material as the storage medium; and an oxidation-reduction function, typically based on platinum (Pt), which converts NO to NO2 using oxygen in the air.
In this work, researchers from the University of Central Florida, Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and Ruhr University Bochum in Germany studied a model catalyst system of Pt nanoparticles supported on a surface of aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Using x-rays at Brookhaven's National Synchrotron Light Source, the group followed the evolution of the particles' structure and chemical state during the conversion of NO to NO2, which is a crucial step in the full NOx storage and reduction reaction (of which the final products are nitrogen and oxygen). The information they learned will support additional studies aimed at finding optimal nanoscale Pt catalysts for modern lean-burn engines.
The nanoparticle samples used in this investigation were roughly the same diameter, 0.6 nanometers, but different shapes: two types were relatively flat, the third was more spherical. They were studied under "lean operation conditions, " which means that there is an excess of air as opposed to an excess of fuel. At NSLS beamline X18B, the researchers "watched" the reaction using two x-ray absorption techniques that are sensitive to the local electronic structure of the molecules in the sample. The techniques yielded specific information on the nature of the Pt-O bonds as the reaction took place.

Transporting Skies
Oct, 31, 2002 Posted in 2000's, Complete Works, Exhibitions, Installation, Transmission, Video
A networked dual gallery solo exhibition which was shown simultaneously at Site Gallery, Sheffield and Newlyn Art Gallery, Penzance.
Transporting skies, people, and landscape between Penzance and Sheffield, the work drew from both landscape and trompe l'oeil traditions in painting to create works which unfolded in real time, concertinaing space, time and location through a sequence of networked installations.

In addition to the skies of the title, the work used cameras and projections to draw visitors into the work, transmitting them via the internet in real time to the remote gallery space. Visitors to Site Gallery, Sheffield found themselves beamed to Newlyn Art Gallery, Penzance, and vice versa. The work made it possible for visitors to both galleries to become active participants in the realisation of the work, embodied as live performers within it, effectively existing in two places at once.
A second work exchanged an urban Sheffield landscape with a Penzance seascape, at the rate of a pixel per second, with each pixel recording a different moment in time throughout the duration of the show. This work was the precursor for a series of 'pixel landscape' works including Fenlandia and Glenlandia.

Curated by Emily Ash and developed from ideas prompted by the pioneering telegraph communications station at Porthcurno near Newlyn in Cornwall, which was the first place to be "on-line' in the contemporary sense, Transporting Skies was presented at Newlyn Art Gallery, Penzance and Site Gallery, Sheffield simultaneously.
The exhibition was initiated by Newlyn Art Gallery, Penzance and made possible through funding from the National Touring Programme of the Arts Council of England
There was a leaflet published to coincide with the exhibition with accompanying text by Peter Ride and an introduction by Emily Ash

NEW DEAL FOR WILD CARDS
We can't die yet. We haven't seen The Jolson Story.
The WILD CARDS series is back in business. We've just signed a contract with Tor Books for a new triad of WILD CARDS mosaic novels, to be titled Inside Straight, Busted Flush, and Suicide Kings. Work on the books has already commenced. Tor hopes to release the first volume in hardcover in 2007, with the subsequent volumes following a year apart.
The three new books will be volumes eighteen, nineteen, and twenty in the overall chronology, but they will also represent a new beginning for the series. A few of our older characters will make appearances in the new books, but the spotlight this time around will be on the next generation of aces and jokers, coming of age in a world transformed by xenovirus Takis-A. "It's 2007. Do you know where your children are?"
Here's a first peek at ten of our new cast members, courtesy of Mike S. Miller. From L to R, let me present (back row) Jonathan Hive, Double Helix, Drummer Boy, and Lohengrin, and (front row) Hoodoo Mama, Little Fat Boy, John Fortune, Curveball, Dragon Girl, and The Genetrix.
Many of the writers who helped make the original WILD CARDS series so popular will be contributing to the new books as well, including Walter Jon Williams, John Jos. Miller, Michael Cassutt, Walton (Bud) Simons, Stephen Leigh, Kevin Andrew Murphy, and others. They will be joined by Daniel Abraham, who made his WILD CARDS debut in volume sixteen, and newcomers Christopher Rowe, Caroline Spector, Ian Tregillis, and Carrie Vaughn. As with previous volumes, George R.R. Martin will edit the books, with the able assistance of Melinda M. Snodgrass.
The WILD CARDS series made its debut in 1987, during the heydey of the shared world anthology, when a dozen different series from as many publishers were competing for rack space. Twelve volumes were published by Bantam from 1987 through 1993, and three by Baen Books from 1993 to 1995. After a seven-year hiatus, iBooks revived the series in 2002, reprinting six of the old Bantam titles and adding two new volumes, the anthology Deuces Down and a solo novel by John J. Miller, Death Draws Five, before going into bankrutcy. The series has also spawned a comic mini-series from Marvel/ Epic, a role-playing game from Steve Jackson Games, and several film options. WILD CARDS has outlasted all the other shared world anthologies of the 80s to become the longest-running series in the history of our genre… and with a little help from our readers, we hope to run for another twenty years at least.
If you haven't visited the Wild Cards universe yet, it is never too late. You can find the old books on ABE, ebay, and Amazon, and a few are even available here on my Signed Books page. Check 'em out.

The Silver Lake College Art Department is sponsoring an exhibit of Digital Photography by Dr. John Stern from today through Sept. 11th, 2009 in the Cafeteria Gallery. There will be a reception from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 3rd celebrating Dr. Stern's work. All are welcome.
The exhibit features selections that reflect the unique aspects of the Silver Lake College Campus, chapel, and student life.
Dr. Stern is a practicing urologist in Manitowoc who has for years had a love for photography. He began honing his craft when Father Ribbens at Premontre High School in Green Bay was "looking for student photographers for newspaper and yearbook- will train." Father Ribbens taught Dr. Stern everything he knew about photography- shooting, composition, developing and printing in the film era. His creativity was developed further with the help of an artist friend of his parents, who taught him how to view and see light and shadows, character, and how to incorporate those elements into his composition.
Dr. Stern attended college at the University of Minnesota and worked for the University of Minnesota Daily newspaper. At that time it was the world's largest college newspaper, never less than 8 pages and with a Friday weekend edition of 36-64 pages, every week. Circulation was over 50,000.
The exhibit is open to the public Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Zylia Kleinfeldt enjoys her Music for Tots Class. Tots from infancy through age 5 enjoy a variety of music and movement experiences in the Music for Tots program at Silver Lake College.
When classes begin this fall for the Silver Lake College Music for Tots™ Program, it will mark the 25th year of sharing the gift of music with children from infancy through age five. "When we began in 1984, we had 4 classes with approximately 32 students and they were all held on the Silver Lake Campus in Manitowoc. Now, we have over 250 students participate each semester and classes are held in 4 different locations throughout the state." according to Sr. Lorna Zemke, Founder and Director of the Program.
Music for Tots™ classes are educationally significant experiences designed for children from infancy through age five, with half-hour classes for the very young to three years of age, and forty-minute classes for the fours and fives. Varying types of structured musical activities are planned for each class, according to the developmental level of the children. Singing is the foundation of the curriculum, and simple children's singing-games and folk songs are the appropriate tunes used in music making; movement and use of simple classroom instruments for keeping the beat are also significant activities.
Classes for the various ages are scheduled during the morning and early evening hours. Each class is limited to eight children within an age span of approximately one year, except for the older threes, fours and fives who participate together. Parents participate with their child in sessions for infants and toddlers.
Parents and teachers in the Silver Lake Music for Tots™ Program readily affirm that participation in these music classes improves not only the tonal, listening, rhythmic and coordination skills of the children, but also their verbal and socialization skills, as well as their ability to follow directions, focus attention, and share with their peers.
Classes begin this semester on Monday, September 28, 2009, and extend for ten consecutive weeks. Parents from the greater Manitowoc area, who are interested in enrolling their infant, toddler, or pre-school child, should call the Silver Lake College Department of Music at 920-686-6173 or email abock@silver.sl.edu. Leave your name, phone number, child's name, date of birth, and preference of morning or evening class. If classes for your child's age are already filled for the spring session, your child's name will be put on a waiting list for classes that begin in February 2010. Only a registration fee, no materials fee, is charged.
The Silver Lake College Music Department invites community members, friends, and alumni of Silver Lake College to join with current students to become a part of the Silver Lake College Concert Choir featuring an upcoming year of fantastic choral music on campus.
Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings from 7:00 – 9:00 pm and will begin Monday, August 31st in the Generose Enrichment Center, formerly St. Josephs Church, on the Silver Lake campus. Dr. Perry D. White, Silver Lake College's Director of Choral Activities, will conduct this year's ensemble.
For additional information, please contact Dr. White at (920)686-6150 or pwhite@silver.sl.edu.
Silver Lake College, 2406 South Alverno Road, invites the public to view the works of Dr. Peter Bartzen; beginning August 25th and continuing through September 16th, 2009. All are welcome.
Dr. Bartzen grew up in Milwaukee and was a practicing gynecologist in Duluth, MN for 37 years. Although he attended watercolor workshops during this time, it wasn't until his retirement in Arizona that he produced his first award winning piece.
Throughout his retirement, Bartzen produced a profuse variety of Watercolors inspired by his travels to Hanfleur, France, Italy, Germany and Ireland. These items will be on exhibit as well as pictures reminiscent of his life in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Bartzen lived at St. Mary's home in Manitowoc prior to his death on July 27th. The exhibit is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
On Wednesday, August 19th, Silver Lake College will officially dedicate its new on campus student housing facility. Clare Hall, formerly occupied by the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity, has undergone extensive renovation to make way for housing up to 178 students on campus. The building features a variety of amenities and living options, including group study areas, kitchenettes, entertainment areas, wireless internet and both individual and suite style rooms.
The Nursing Program at Silver Lake College is proud to announce that it recently received accreditation approval from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) is an autonomous accrediting agency contributing to the improvement of the public's health and ensures the quality and integrity of baccalaureate and graduate education programs preparing effective nurses. As a voluntary, self-regulatory process, CCNE accreditation supports and encourages continuing self-assessment by nursing education programs and the continuing growth and improvement of collegiate professional education.

Wetherspoon to sell takeaway tea and coffee
Wetherspoon pubs are set to serve takeaway coffee and tea
Leading pub chain Wetherspoon is expanding the beverage side of its business by selling takeaway teas and coffees.
The firm, which sells more than 50 million cups of coffee each year, announced it will serve takeaway hot drinks at its 950 pubs.
Chief executive John Hutson said: "Our coffee is extremely popular with customers.
"We sell around a million cups a week in our pubs across the UK, and believe customers will welcome the opportunity to enjoy a takeaway cup too, at 99p."
The move will see the pub giant go head-to-head in a high street battle taking on the likes of Starbucks and Costa.


This comprehensive collection, written by a professor of botany at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, overviews more than three hundred eighty plants. It describes them and their close relatives detailing more than eight hundred well-known food plants. They are listed alphabetically by botanical name, give their common name or names, family names, region of origin and some history, the parts of the plants used, a tiny bit about cultivation and harvesting, main uses and properties, and their nutritional value. Then at the very bottom of the page, the food's name is given in several languages.
Before the individual food items, there are three pages about regions of origin followed by the food categories of: Cereals; Pulses (legumes); Nuts and Seeds; Fruits; Vegetables; Culinary Herbs; Sugars, Cums, Gels, and Starches; and Spices and Falvours. Each provides a long alphabetical list of just their common names followed by the botanical ones. These large boxes are loaded with dozen upon dozen of common foods grouped in sets reminding the reader as to how diverse the food supply really is.
After them, are the individual food plants, every one with three or four great color photographs. An example of their detail can be seen illustrating the article titled Durian: Daring to Eat this Noisome Delicacy; it is on page 11 in this issue.
At the end of the book, nearly one hundred pages discuss nutrients, diets, and health; special biologically active compounds; a thirty-six-page table called Quick Guide to commercialized Food Plants; giving region of origin, edible parts, and nutritional values. Then a five-page glossary, two each more recommending further reading and acknowledgments, and thirty-one more with a four-column very carefully cross-referenced index.
Needless to say, this book is a gem. It deserves constant use by all who want easily accessible and accurate plant information. Just perusing it we found answers to questions we have long wondered about. Without a doubt, every food witer needs to have it on his or her desk sitting next ot the dictionary. If used frequently, errors n food writing can substantially be reduced.


Earlyprime (CNN, 5-5:30 p.m.): This news-and-information program - designed for baby boomers and what it calls "the mature audience" - is offering a special called "Coming of Age: Golden Adventures." It suggests there can be more to holidays for seniors than getting off tour buses, saying "Oh, yes" as they take in the sights, and climbing back on the buses. There is, in fact, a growing interest among seniors in trips that challenge them physically and help them learn something. The show joins a mountain hike in Glacier National Park, a Salmon River whitewater camping trip, a wagon train through the South Dakota hills, and other ventures. The host is "Earlyprime" co-anchor Natalie Allen.
Late Show With David Letterman (CBS, 11:35 p.m.-12:35 a.m., E.T.): The promotion is over, the maneuvering done, and it's time to deliver. David Letterman must now show us that his jaunty appeal can remain intact in the somewhat less free-wheeling format of the not-so-late-night time slot. His impressive guest list for the first week includes Robin Williams, Martin Short, John Mellencamp, Debra Winger, and other actors, comedians, and musicians.
In a bow to nostalgia, one guest on the opening night is Bill Murray, who was the first to appear on Letterman's show when it opened on NBC Feb. 1, 1982. (That 11-year-old visit by Murray will, curiously, be re-airing later the same night as one of the final broadcasts of NBC'S "Late Night With David Letterman.") Another guest for the new show is Billy Joel, whose recently released CD, "River of Dreams," may be one reason for his appearance.
Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra will be on hand for the debut. Lately of Letterman's NBC show, Shaffer will lead a bigger band.

Q: Creating an asynchronous method that contains a linq query I have a .Net Core 2.2 web app that uses Entity Framework.
In the project, I have this controller that uses Linq to join two tables, and then uses Select to create a node model, like this:
    [HttpGet("GameDownloadLinks/{libraryId}")]
    public async Task<ActionResult<IEnumerable<GameDownloadLinks>>> GetGameLinksForlibraryAsync(Guid libraryID)
    {
        var libraryGameLinks =  (from gk in _context.GameLinks
                                   join gl in _context.GameList on gk.GameId equals gl.GameId
                                   where gl.libraryId == libraryId
                                   select new GameDownloadLinks
                                   {
                                       LibraryId = gl.libraryId,
                                       LinkText = gk.LinkText,
                                       Price = gk.Price,
                                       GameId = gl.GameId
                                   }).ToList();

        var asyncGameDownloadLinks = await Task.WhenAll(libraryGameLinks).toListAsync();
        return asyncGameDownloadLinks;
    }

I'm trying to make this method asynchronous, but I get this error:
cannot convert from 'System.Collections.Generic.List<Models.GameDownloadLinks>'  to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Threading.Tasks.Task>'

Some of the answers I found for similar questions indicated this is most likely due to a missing async keyword in the method declaration, but I have included that in mine.
Is there anyway to make this work?
Thanks!

A: try this
  [HttpGet("GameDownloadLinks/{libraryId}")]
    public async Task<ActionResult<IEnumerable<GameDownloadLinks>>> GetGameLinksForlibraryAsync(Guid libraryID)

        var libraryGameLinks = await (from gk in _context.GameLinks
                                   join gl in _context.GameList on gk.GameId equals gl.GameId
                                   where gl.libraryId == libraryId
                                   select new GameDownloadLinks

Can the World's Wealthiest Absorb the High-End Home Glut
In Manhattan, there are around 500 homes asking $10 million and up, and a surfeit of mega-pricey properties is also appearing in Los Angeles and Miami. The growing glut of wildly expensive homes begs the question: Are there enough people who can afford them? Perhaps eventually. Despite a darkening economic outlook globally, wealth creation is slated to remain constant in 2019. The global population of ultrawealthy individuals—defined as having a net-worth of at least $30 million—is forecast to rise 22% to nearly 250,000 over the next five years, according to recent report by international real-estate firm Knight Frank. That means an additional 43,000 people will be worth more than $30 million by 2023.
The report included the results of a survey, which found that approximately 63% of the world's wealthiest said they grew richer in 2018, thanks in part to stock market gains and global economic growth. These individuals also expect their wealth to increase over the next year. Confidence was highest in the U.S., where 80% of individuals worth $30 million and more expect to be better off over the next year.
"The marketplace we are talking about is relatively scarce and rarefied. The individuals are very private and difficult to contact," said Liam Bailey, the head of global research at Knight Frank. "That pool of very wealthy people is [a luxury developer's] demand pool. If it's growing over time then that's going to drive expansion in [their] market."
The results are good news for developers in markets like New York, where prices are down amid a massive oversupply of new high-end condominiums. Roughly 1,735 new Manhattan condos (excluding Upper Manhattan) went on the market in 2018, according to New York-based real-estate firm Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group; in 2011, there were 277.
New York City boasted the highest number of billionaires, at 94, the report found. However, London had the largest population of people with a net worth of more than $30 million, with 4,944 fitting that bill, an increase of 582 over the last five years. Knight Frank projected that India would see the largest increase in the ultrahigh net worth population over the next five years, propelled in part by domestic economic reforms, followed by the Philippines and China. Overall, Asia is predicted to account for 37% of the world's billionaire population of 2,696 by 2023, up from 35% in 2018.
Mr. Bailey said real-estate developers pay close attention to these markets. Without Russian buyers entering the market 15 to 20 years ago, the London market would likely never have reached the heights it did, Mr. Bailey said. Meanwhile, buyers from China were important to New York's latest run up in property values, which started after the last recession, for instance.
A growing global population of ultrawealthy people doesn't necessarily translate to a growth in deals, or an absorption of oversupply, Mr. Bailey admitted. "Their decision to buy is down to a range of issues, including interest rates and the opportunity cost of using their money elsewhere," he said.
Indeed, the value of the 100 luxury residential markets in the world, defined generally as the top 5% of each luxury market, grew by just 1.3% last year, down from 2.1% in 2017—the index's lowest rate of annual growth since 2012. New York developers felt the sting of increased capital controls in China, for instance, which made it more challenging for Chinese buyers to scoop up units in U.S. condominiums. Knight Frank projected that Miami would outperform other U.S. cities in terms of price growth in 2019, as buyers from other American cities move to Florida to take advantage of its tax laws.

Doctor Strange Movie Release Date Reportedly Confirmed
Invasion! From DC Event to the CW Crossover
Invasion! House Ad
Invasion! I was shocked when I heard the news that the CW DC shows were calling their November crossover Invasion. I was even more surprised when they weren't just using the name for the crossover but also the theme of the 1988 DC event. I assumed that Invasion was a forgotten event in the long line of forgotten DC events, like Millennium or Armageddon 2000 or Zero Hour or, well you get the picture. After the success of Crisis on Infinite Earths it became standard practice for DC to roll out an event every year and luckily in 1988 they turned to Keith Giffen to craft what would become known as Invasion.
Invasion was an entertaining event crossover that took up three months of the DC universe. Unlike Crisis, which was released monthly for a year Invasion were 3 massive 80 page books released monthly with each DC comic then incorporating the story into their own book to broaden the event. Unlike Crisis if you did not read the ancillary titles the main book had some missing plot points that left the reader wondering what had happened and how characters had moved around after the previous issue. Other then that Invasion is an enjoyable read.
Early DC work by Todd McFarlane
Keith Giffen is, in my opinion, an under-appreciated creator and his contribution to the comic medium is extensive. His time on Legion of Superheroes, first as artist and later as writer/artist is one of the highlights of the Legion's long run. I loved his Ambush Bug tales of the '80s and his Justice League work is an all time great. He was the perfect choice to create and plot Invasion and his fellow creators weren't too shabby in their own right. Joining Giffen was the great Bill Mantlo, a longtime Marvel scribe who helped create Rocket Raccoon and was a master storyteller and had an incredible gift of giving life and depth to licensed properties such as Rom: Space Knight and Micronauts. A young Todd McFarlane drew issues #1 and #2 with help from Giffen himself on issue #2 and Bart Sears was brought in to wrap up the book with issue #3 as McFarlane moved over to Marvel and Amazing Spider-Man as the book was still in production. The switch isn't that jarring and with Giffen doing the plotting everything ties together neatly.
The Dominators & their obsession with the Metagene
At the core of Invasion is the fear of the potential Earth has with all of its super powered beings and the 'metagene' that gifts so many humans with incredible powers. The race known as the Dominators decide that it is in their best interest to create an Alliance of worlds to purge the Earth of all life. Joining the Dominators are the warlike Khunds, the shape shifting Durlans, the fascist Thanagarians, the thuggish Citadel, the weapon smiths Okaara, the sadistic Psion, and the world conquering Gil Dishpan. The Daxamites agree to be observers but are unwilling to participate in the actual war.
Book 1: the Alien Alliance
Book 1 is titled Invasion! the Alien Alliance and that is exactly what it is as the focus of the book is on the Dominators and their orchestrating the other alien races to join them in the destruction of Earth. If you are not a long time DC fan there was very little in this book that was recognizable. The main actors are the alien races, many of them created in the Green Lantern books, and their machinations. We have an appearance of Adam Strange as he turns himself over to the Alliance to spy on them as well as spare his adopted planet Rann. The Omega Men are featured but do not fare well as their book is cancelled coming out of the Invasion event, replaced with L.E.G.I.O.N 89. If you were a Green Lantern fan you also witnessed the death of many of the corps, who were without their rings in this time period after the destruction of the central battery to help save the universe. By the end of book 1 the Alliance has decimated Australia and turned it into their beachhead. Even though there is very little DC proper in the book it was still engaging enough and with the vast destruction at the end of the book the reader no doubt wanted to see the retaliation, which was the focus of Book 2.
Book 2: Battleground Earth
Book 2 was titled Invasion! Battleground Earth and it is 80 pages of super hero and super villain fighting in defense of the Earth. The heroes retaliate after the Dominators inform the world they will leave if the population of Earth will turn over all of its super heroes. Earth promptly tells them to go to hell. Book 2 was my favorite issue as Todd McFarlane's depiction of the DC heroes and villains was so dynamic and beautiful. His Superman was awe inspiring, especially when he engages in battle with the Daximites, who are gifted with Superman like powers from the yellow sun. The main problem with Book 2 is that it jumps around a lot to various locales as the heroes retaliate but those actual battles took place in their own titles and at the time I did not have enough allowance money to pick up every book being published. By the end of Book 2 the tide has turned at the Alliance is at an end, especially after the Daximites change sides after Superman saves them from the lead poisoning their race suffers from.
Book 3: World Without Heroes
Book 3 was titled Invasion! World Without Heroes as the book begins with Earth rebuilding and the heroes popularity at an all time high. Yet a young Dominator trying to earn a bigger circle on his forehead uses a bomb to counter the metagene causing almost every human carrying it to loose control of their powers and become deathly ill. It is left to the street level vigilantes like Batman and Blue Beetle to maintain order while a small team comprised of Aliens (the Martian Manhunter & Superman), Green Lanterns Guy Gardner & Hal Jordan, Robotman from the Doom Patrol, and other non meta heroes to travel to the home of the Dominators and find the cure. They link up with the remnants of the Omega Men and travel across the universe and obtain the cure just in time to save many heroes lives. The ramifications of the Metagene bomb would be felt throughout the DC universe as DC used it as a way to clean house of unsuccessful heroes and books as well to morph characters into a different power set. Honestly Book 3 wasn't needed as the entire Invasion was wrapped up by the end of Book 2 but I understand the want to prolong the event and have another large battle amongst hero and alien.
the Dominators rear their ugly heads during the CW crossover
I don't know how much of Invasion the CW is going to use in their shows but I know the Dominators will be rearing their ugly heads and with the Daximite Mon-El now on Supergirl I can only imagine they are going to stay somewhat true to the 1988 event. Luckily DC has recently put Invasion back into print and it is available online through Comixology. It is a fun read and as fans of the upcoming crossover prepare their DVR's it would be worthwhile to go back and read the source material.

Pregnancy, weight gain and loss, and aging can all cause an abdomen to stretch and sag. Recovering your trim waist is one of the best things you can do to create an aesthetically fit appearance. You don't have to resign yourself to hiding under clothing that covers up your shape. Today's tummy tuck procedures are safe, reliable, and offer quick recovery times – and outstanding results. At NYBG Plastic Surgery, we possess the experience and advanced techniques vital to helping you achieve the shape and look you desire for yourself.
Whether you are a man or a woman, a tummy tuck in Long Island that tightens the abdominal area and reshapes the mid-section can result in a significantly improved clothing fit and appearance. And so long as you maintain a stable weight afterwards, results are often permanent!
A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, removes the skin that has expanded when the abdomen grew and also the underlying fat that developed with it. Your Long Island tummy tuck surgeon will also tighten the abdominal wall that has relaxed after pregnancy or from too large a stomach. When the stomach muscle is pulled tight, stomach bulge is often minimized and the shape of the waist becomes more natural. For many patients who are candidates for abdominoplasty, as much as 50% of the abdominal skin can be removed. In doing so, some of the existing stretch marks may disappear.
Depending on your needs, other procedures may be performed at the same time. Your doctor may recommend liposuction of the upper thighs or "love handles." The popular so-called "mommy makeover" involves not only a tummy tuck but also a breast lift and tightening.
Lost weight through diet and exercise but abdomen remains flabby and sticks out.
Distended abdomen following birth that does not tighten up later.
Lost a lot of weight and now have excess skin around waist.
In good shape but belly has always protruded.
There are several types of tummy tuck that vary mostly by degree. A mini-tuck improves the lower abdomen with less extensive surgery and less of a scar. The full tuck tightens both the upper and lower abdomen. The extended tuck is usually prescribed for people who have lost a lot of weight and have a lot of sagging skin over the front of their body. It includes tightening the flanks in conjunction with the abdomen.
The road to an expedient and successful recovery, following your New York or Long Island tummy tuck procedure, begins with an excellent surgeon. An artful tummy tuck requires specialized training and years of experience, not only to get the desired result, but also to minimize your recovery time.
Do I have to stay overnight after a tummy tuck?
Most tummy tucks are performed as an outpatient procedure, with you returning home later the same day. In some cases, your doctor may request an overnight stay if the procedure was extensive. Your first few days following your tummy tuck in Long Island, NY will require you to rest and recuperate at home. There may be some soreness for the first week, but it is recommended to get up and walk around from time to time to keep your circulation up and helping you to heal.
Returning to work depends on how physical your job is. A desk job could take as little as two weeks where a more physically demanding job might require a month before returning. No matter what the healing time, you will get there with a much improved body – one that reflects your confidence and the aesthetic vision you have for your outward physical appearance.
You will see a significant difference in your appearance after you have recovered following your tummy tuck at our Long Island or NYC offices. Clothing will fit better, and you won't be plagued by love handles, sagging abdominal tissue and fat, or muscles that had split and created a double-tummy look. You may find yourself doing a lot of shopping, as clothing styles you couldn't wear in the past will now fit you beautifully. Are you ready to resculpt your body and get rid of that saggy, droopy, tummy? A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that produces the full effect of surgical body reshaping.
While a tummy tuck is a surgical procedure and involves post-op care and time to rest and recuperate, once you are healed, you can expect to enjoy an improved quality of life. It is important that you allow yourself enough time to rest and recover following your Long Island tummy tuck – the best thing you can do for your body is to ensure you have enough time available without responsibilities. While many people can return to work after a week, plan on two weeks away from work, or even three if you can. Your activities will be restricted for several weeks, and it is important that you follow all aftercare instructions to the letter so that the muscle structure heals properly.
Once healed, our New York patients report they feel a great resurgence in self-confidence and an increase in their overall quality of life. Able to now wear tight clothing and often free from the appearance of stretchmarks, flab, sagging tissue, and other aesthetic concerns, they feel a great sense of restored freedom and vitality.
Many people who have undergone bariatric surgery are thrilled to finally get to a healthy weight, but dismayed at the appearance of hanging skin and tissue that won't shrink back. Even though a new, slimmer body contour is achieved, they are still limited in what they can wear, or for some, what activities they feel comfortable participating in. For our patients who are in this position, a tummy tuck or a full body lift can resolve the excess tissue and skin and finally achieve your original goal – a slimmer, more attractive figure that you can show off with pride.
The NYBG Plastic Surgery Difference - Why Choose Us?
If you are ready to return to a more youthful and trim look, we can provide you with many options that are tailored to your needs. As all bodies are unique, our friendly team can work with you to create a customized plan to achieve your aesthetic goals. We not only have the experience-based surgical skills and leading technology, we understand your needs and treat you with patience, compassion and understanding. We are pleased to provide outstanding care to those in the New York City and its boroughs, Port Jefferson, Roslyn Heights and all of Westchester county. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.

Global Gatherings Part 8- Working with Jupiter
GLOBAL GATHERINGS VIII – November 22-24 2010— SLOVENIA
My connection with this country began in a very strange way. I had just started to come to Europe after MauerFall, ending the Berlin Wall. One of my astrology students posed this interesting astrological request: She said that Jupiter was transiting her 9th House and she longed to travel, however, she had no money to travel. What could she do to appease Jupiter in the 9th?
The answer came very quickly! Living in Washington DC, there are many churches that are affiliated with different countries and there are embassies for every country. All she had to do was think of a country that she would like to visit, contact the church and the Embassy, and then begin attending their religious services and cultural events. This sounded so good— and, when I was home, I was always longing to be back in Europe — that I started looking for a country and their religious and cultural events that would interest me, like being back in what is now called Central Europe until I could return every November.
Some of the church services were deadly dull. The Czech church services at Georgetown University were extremely long, laborious and completely in the Czech language. Another friend told me about Slovenian services being held in a small crypt area at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at Catholic University. These services are held on the first Sunday of each month, they are 35 minutes long and the Polish priest, who speaks Slovene, gives powerful 5 minutes sermons. On the 1st Sunday in January, Father Raymond talks about the 3 astrologers (yes, he used this word) who followed their intuition and the stars in the heavens to find the Christ Child. Beautiful Slovenian songs would be sung by all and many of these people had professional-sounding voices. I was in love — but where was Slovenia??
By the summer of 1991, Slovenia achieved its independence from Yugoslavia and they held a Slovenian Heritage Day near American University. It was then that I realized where Slovenia was and the struggle this country was having to in order to be free. At this event, I connected with Nika Kovacic who was born in Slovenia, coming to America in the 1950s in order to marry a Slovenian man who was working at the Library of Congress.
Nika is always promoting Slovenia and the Slovenian Women's Union in America, an organization that promotes Slovenian culture in America. She invited me to join and this began a course of intense participation in Slovenian activities. But, I thought, if I am going to promote Slovenian culture in America, I need to visit this country. So, that November, I put Slovenia on my travel itinerary.
I found the train station to be very user friendly. Since everything was just opening up to westerners, there was a tourist information desk inside the station (this no longer exists). I was given a map listing all of the hotels and the prices. I found one within walking distance that only cost, at that time, about $33 per night. A kind man was staying at this hotel, Stefan, and he offered to show me around Ljubljana. He was a world authority on teas and, through this hobby, he was able to travel around the world.
I traveled to Slovenia regularly after my first trip. For a small sum, one could take a bus ride through the most beautiful scenery in the world. The mountains, the Adriatic Sea and ancient caves are never more than a 2-hour bus ride from Ljubljana. I became good friends with the Slovenian Ambassador (a Pisces) who is now the Foreign Minister. I feel that one day he will be president and he will change the face of Slovenia in the world arena. I also serve as Vice President of the Maryland Slovenian Women's Union. They say that I am more Slovenian than the Slovenians and I am very proud of this fact.
In 2001, I joined a "family" of astrologers on the Conjunction Yahoo Group. When I said that I loved Slovenia, a woman named Ema Kurent offered her home for my next visit. This began a long friendship with a woman who is probably the most famous astrologer in Slovenia. I have seen her Astrological Annuals being sold at the post office, especially post offices in small villages such as Trezic.
Ema and I met again in 2003 at the 3rd Astrological Congress in Belgrade Serbia. We both lectured there. Ema spoke in English and she gave one of the best lectures on the Progressed Moon that I had ever heard. The Progressed Moon is an area of my own interest and our thoughts were so much alike. I have met with Ema over the years during my visits to Slovenia. This year she showed me her new Astrological Report Writer, a report that gives an interpretation of all of the influences in your chart— progressions, transits and even the daily transits of the Moon. A one-month interpretation is about 25 pages long!
The report that she printed for me said that the weekend of November 20 would be excellent for communications and meeting people— all of which came true. I lectured for IAA on the 21st and so many people registered that I was put into a Webinar. Later, as I will discuss, I had a fantastic meeting with Neva Hee and Bern Jurecic, which came as a sudden, last-minute surprise.
Ema's report also warned about November 24 and that events on this day would not run smoothly. Lo and behold, after checking into my hotel in Mittenwald, I found that there would be no water in the hotel for November 24 due to water pipe repairs. I later missed the train to Innsbruck. So, I decided to just stay in town and write this GG Report. Of course, the aspects were still bad for the 24th and I could not connect to the internet from my room. I became very depressed!
Ema's Report Writer will be available after December and I will happily promote this personal publication.
On November 22, I left Kamnik where I had been very spoiled by the hotel Malograjski Dvor. I had a desk for writing and lecturing and a wide screen television directly in front with English programs, plus the internet connection was excellent. I felt it would be more convenient if I stayed in Ljubljana so that I could easily board the train to Mittenwald in Bavaria. I no longer enjoy being alone and I asked my Spirit Guides to help me not feel so alone in Ljubljana. I used to enjoy being by myself but I no longer do.
The city of Ljubljana has changed so much and I enjoyed just walking through the town. I came back to my room around 3pm to get my notebook for journaling. The telephone rang and it was Neva, asking if we could meet in an hour. I was thrilled. The story of how we met is most interesting.
In the Spring of 2009, a woman wrote a personal question on my website. I do answer personal questions, only as they pertain to my articles. Thanks to my web designer, Molly Cliborne, I now receive about 1500 hits each day. She has set up the browser codes so that the most vague reference to astrology will bring you to my website. Neva was simply looking for information on Retrogrades. I told her that I cannot answer personal questions on my website but, since she is living in Slovenia, I could visit her that November and give her a personal reading. She was more than shocked— that some astrologer in America would know where Slovenia is, that I would know where her home in Kranj is located and then the offer of a personal visit. Neva picked up a total stranger at the train station and there began a wonderful friendship.
My visit with Neva was just like my visits with Ema— we would have a wine in one location, then a lunch in another, then coffee in another and then a dessert in a final location (and with other stops in between). This is what I love about Slovenia and my Slovenian friends. We talked and talked about astrology but it was never a draining experience for me. I always felt that she was learning, not taking. My Virgo nature finds this very stimulation and even energizing. So, to see her again this November was indeed a treat. Because this was a working trip for me and Neva was tied up with company, we did not have much time together.
We had "treats" at the hotel restaurant rather than look for another location and another parking place (parking is very difficult in Europe). Then, a handsome man walked up to our table and asked if I was Lynn Koiner! Another delightful shock and surprise!! I knew immediately that this was Bern Jurecic, who is now trying to organize an astrological society in Slovenia. Ema has always been too busy with her writing, teaching, translating and with her family to try to organize a group but she told me that this is Bern's expertise— he is an effective organizer and social networker.
We only had a short time to talk but Bern told me that the Astrological tradition in Slovenia is only about 25 years old. In the late 1980s, there were the first Sun Sign books but the early 1990s brought more serious texts, many translated by Ema Kurent. Astrology is not strong here because of the Catholic Church or it is seems very Plutonian— "more Popish than the Pope himself."
Slovenia is the same size as Massachusetts with 2 million citizens and the country can be divided into quadrants with archetypes. While he associated these with regions, I was not able to type all of this information:
Archetypal Virgo— shy, modest, hard working but its citizens never fought for independence until it was pushed into their hands in 1991. Leadership in the 21st Century is something that they are learning as they go.
The archetype of Cancer is strong for Slovenia. It is their independence sign. The Slovenian Euro features the constellation of Cancer, very astrological.
Pluto is 3rd archetype of extremes.
The current Recession has brought a new interest in astrology. Bern has observed, as I have, that people are more willing to listen to lessons with the horoscopes because astrology depersonalizes the information. It is not their problems or issues — it is some aspect in the chart.
Bern is not a predictive astrologer but he uses his own delineation Solar Return technique, a new approach to Solar Returns that he has been developing over the years. He feels that the Serbian market is better than Slovenian market for the astrological practitioner. He sees the Solar Return as a story that unfolds over the 12-month period. He works on specific timing for the solar return as the client's story unfolds. He has observed that Pluto in the Return 12th often causes one's world to fall apart. He is very interested in the subconscious patterns with his clients.
He commented that he has observed that planets before the 29th degree are weak— approximately 24-28 degrees. I have noticed that my Mars at 24 Gemini is indeed very weak. By the time a transiting planet has aspected all of my other Mutable planets, nothing happens when it hits Mars at 24 degrees Gemini. I do feel that late degree and early degree plants present a personality profile but this does not determine how weak or strong the planet is. Bern feels that planets in the early degrees are the most powerful. I think this may be because they take up so much energy to work with them when they are triggered by a transit.
# Using Global Gatherings, I would like to visit astrologers around the world. I will gladly come and publicize the work of astrologers in other countries. If you are interested in a visit from me, please let me know. It is not always possible to visit every country but I will try. I am always in Europe in November. www.lynnkoiner.com or koiner@starpower.net
Ema has prepared a Transit Report in English. www.astrojoy.com
There is an offer for a free 1-month report. Frankly, I was amazed at its accuracy.

Q: How to activate custom java rules during SonarQube analysis? I implemented custom rules for java as described here enter link description here. Rules are visible on the server side at rules page, but no one from them is applied to code during analysis.
I'm using sonar 5.1.1 and updated sonar-java-plugin to v3.2.
I'm wonder what's wrong. During debug using sonar-runner I noticed that my CheckRegistrar is loaded but checks from it is ignored.

A: The solution is simple...Rules have to be included in Quality Profile.......


Finding a Hair Salon that suits your particular needs can be difficult, you often hear about companies who get rave reviews and when you visit it turns out to be a total disaster, some salons have stylists who understand and have experience working on your type of hair, while others simply fall short in this department. Discovering a hair salon that best fits your needs takes time and effort, you have to visit various stores before you unearth that gem.
Generally, friends and family will be the most reliable source of information when looking for a hair salon, they will provide you with first-hand information and recommend an organisation which they have dealt with in the past, if they were treated well by that business they will surely tell you the name of that company, their recommendations should help your narrow.
The most convenient research tool at your disposal is the internet, it can be accessed on a range of different mobile devices, for example, it takes a matter of seconds to pick up your smartphone and source the best hairdresser in Perth or any other city for that matter. While online you can access forums, and read reviews on hair salons in your area, using the internet eliminates the stress of having to physically visit each premises and ask their staff members various questions, all this information should be present online.
Once you have narrowed down your search to a select few businesses it would be wise to go and visit them, this will enable you to see exactly how they operate on a daily basis, you can speak with staff and observe how they treat other customers, this will immediately give you an understanding of the business and help you decide whether you will be making a return. The employees should make you feel comfortable, they should be warm and friendly while also carrying out task with quality and professionalism.
You should discuss the various services each company provides with members of staff, when finished, you can decide on a specific stylist or treatment that you would like to try. Visiting the salon gives you an opportunity to speak to other clients, they will provide you with information about the salon and performance levels.
When you have finished your trial appointment, carefully assess the service, ask yourself key questions about the experience as a whole, and finally decide on whether the salon lived up to your expectations. Furthermore, be honest with staff members and give them feedback on their performance, maybe they misunderstood your requirements and could provide a better service next time.
It can take a lot of trial and error to find the best hair salon for you, but your efforts will be rewarded when you stumble upon a business which perfectly suits your needs, you will be content knowing that you have found a salon which ticks all the boxes.

Monday Morning Aural Sex
2020-08-17 (My Favorite Ladies Edition Vol. 3)
What's up, muthafuckaaaas?! Welcomemoclew to the third volume of the My Favorite Ladies Edition of Monday Morning Aural Fuckin' Sex! Holy fuck, perverts. You don't even know what a big problem I have with ...
What's up, muthafuckaaaas?! Welcomemoclew to the third volume of the My Favorite Ladies Edition of Monday Morning Aural Fuckin' Sex! Holy fuck, perverts. You don't even know what a big problem I have with some of these editions. I fucked around and compiled 11 ½ fucking hours of shit for you, which I then whittled down to however many tracks are on the playlist now. Yes, I'm typing this intro before I've even finalized the playlist because I had a few tracks to record. I don't know if any of you motherfuckers have been noticing, but I've been making Spotify playlists that semi-coincide with these podcasts. I say, "semi," because some of the tracks I play are from my own library, and frankly, with all the other shit I do to make this podcast for y'all, I don't want to ALSO make full and sequentially accurate Spotify playlists. I don't really have many followers on Spotify anyway, so fuck it. I don't know if y'all have tried to edit Spotify playlists before, but it's kind of a pain in the rooster. 1st world problems, I know.
Regarding having compiled so much fucking music, the craziest part is that I could have kept going. I only stopped because I reached the end of one large fucking folder of previous Spotify rips. One folder. You motherfuckers realize how much more shit I could've added if I'd spent time going alphabetically through my artist folders, never even mind my compilations and soundtracks? Shiiiiit, well, let's just say that this type of edition has numerous fuckin' installments yet to be made. It's kind of infinite, really. That's fuckin' wild to me, and I hope it's similarly so to you. Also also, in a bit of a time hopping sort of way, I just finished the playlist and it's nearly 4 ½ fuckin' hours. I know I could trim it further to accommodate those of you with shorter attention spans, but I think the quality of this edition would suffer too significantly, and Podbean's app makes it pretty easy to pick up wherever you leave off if you somehow don't have 4 ½ hours straight to listen to this whole fuckin' thing.
Also also also, it turns out I'm a dipshit dickhead and I didn't need to compile all that stuff as I still had 50 something tracks left over from the last time I compiled tracks for the first My Favorite Ladies Edition back in September of last year. Now I have 145, which is about 10 ½ hours, so yeah, the next few editions are already good to go!
Any-fuckin'-way, "what shall we be hearing this week?" you tenderly ask from the safety of your comfort zone bubble? Well, obviously there'll be a testosterone overload unprecedented since… I dunno, the most recent football event? That's something guys do, right? Nahhhh, this is a purely estrogenic celebration just like the past two editions. Allllll sorts of genres are represented in this motherfucker. No country, although I did hear an amusing country-ish rendition of Cardi B's newest single, "WAP," on the Daily Show yesterday. Anyway, most of these tracks come from editions I've done within the last year, so ya might recognize one or two if you're some Stephen Hawking-ass motherfucker or some shit. There are indeed a handful of never-before-played tracks to be yojned, and since my girl Ana Kasparian from The Young Turks has been on a 90s dance music kick lately, I thought I'd throw a few of those classic jams in there for all you radical dudes and dudettes out there. A couple tracks were suggestions from my roommate who also knows a thing or three about estrogenic arteests. He's been watching the second season of Umbrella Academy lately, and I've caught a few good tracks from there as well. Ya might catch what I caught too if you're down with that show.
Aside from all that, I'm sure most of y'all have heard by now about Biden picking Kamala Harris for VP. I'm not particularly enthused, at least, no more or less than I already wasn't. I didn't care much about her during the primary, and I've heard some bad things about her prosecutorial record, but of course the mission at hand is to de-Cheeto ourselves forever. Wipe the repulsive fucking Cheeto dust stains from our collective fingertips, and then never have another again. I just realized that all this time, we could've been calling Don Jr. "Junior Cheeto," or, "Cheeto Jr." *sigh* Ah well. I'd rather permanently purge them from memory, but I digress. You less political perverts out there would probably be disgusted by all the shit I've been seeing lately, all the ways he's trying to steal the election because he knows he's weak as fuck right now. Anyway, even though I don't particularly care about Kamala, I hope it'll mean that women have more of a permanent place at the tables where important decisions are being made. Obviously, it'd be ideal to have women who support progressive policies there, but we're workin' on that. Maybe Kamala will inspire future progressive women to run for office or something. One can dream, can't one?
All that done fuckin' did and said, the time for yojnement has arriveded, soooooo…

Snoring is a health risk. That's a fact. Snoring causes inconvenience to your well-being--and to your partner's sleep patterns. There's no denying that snoring connotes stress to you and to your partner.
There are around 90 million American adults who snore (source). You may be one of them. Among those in their 30s, 30% snore regularly. The number increases up to 40% during middle age (source).
And yet here's another interesting fact--6 out of 10 (59 %) participants say that their partners snore(source).
While snoring may be "normal" for some, health practitioners believe it's the missing link in explaining low work performance and productivity, fatigue, and even marital disputes.
You may wake up a lot during sleep. This means you don't achieve "deep sleep" to rejuvenate your body.
Snoring burdens your heart. Some experience high blood pressure, enlargement of the heart, heart attack, and even stroke.
Snoring compromises the quality of your sleep. This results in tiredness after sleeping, muscle straining, and the feeling of wanting to sleep more. This could affect your day-to-day performance at school and work. This is also linked to drowsiness during the day and the yearly increase in the rate of car accidents.
Snorers also affect their sleep partner. This means your partner also experience sleep disturbances that can, later on, be a source of fights, misunderstandings, and even separation.
1. Identify what factors are at play.
Know why snoring happens to have a better idea of how to address the issue.
- It's allergy season. Allergies hit you at certain months of the year. But it can happen anytime especially if you haven't cleared the dust in your room. Allergies obstruct nasal airways, leading to snoring. Other issues like having a deviated septum are also important angles to look at.
- You have poor muscle tone. Your throat and tongue muscle play a role in snoring. When too relaxed, these muscles disrupt the natural flow of air while breathing. Ageing, sleeping pills, and even alcohol can cause this.
-You are overweight. Most teens and adults with bulky throat tissues experience changes in breathing while sleeping. Having large tonsils has the same effect.
The solution to your snoring usually depends on the site where it starts.

Q: Split string at space not inside quotes in C#
Possible Duplicate:
Regular Expression to split on spaces unless in quotes

I need to split a specified string at all spaces in order to get arguments, however, I need all the text inside quotes to stay "un-split". For example:
ab "c d"
This needs to be split into 2 strings: 1. ab, 2. "c d". I attempted to use regex or write my own method to parse it, but had no luck.

A: Definitely a duplicate as Bala R mentioned above.
Regex regex = new Regex(@"\w+|""[\w\s]*""");
var str = "ab \"c d\"";

var x = regex.Matches(str).Cast<Match>().ToList();


Grey advertising agency created a series of ads for Sisal to remind people to gamble responsibly. The ads are accompanied by the tag line, "Playing is fun if you don't push it too far." The agency used common, innocent games such as hop-scotch and she-loves-me-she-loves-me-not to demonstrate how excess can ruin any and every game, even those we consider safe.
Sisal is an Italian gambling concessionaire who is trying to encourage the public to gamble responsibly. The ads also warn, "Every game has its own rules. But there is one for all: knowing when to stop." An important rule of thumb if one would like to gamble responsibly.

On June 15th, we had an amazing training with Engineering World Health Tanzania Summer Institute participants. In total, 23 people were trained on SolarSPELL for BMETs. These participants were from 8 different countries, including the US, Canada, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, South Korea, Yemen, and Uganda. These participants will be entering into 11 different hospitals in July to help fix medical equipment alongside a local biomedical technician.
The training was similar to the one given in Rwanda, but it was not quite the same without the wonderful help of Audrey and Adhel, the two Bridge2Rwanda interns who worked on the SolarSPELL-BMET library project from April-June.
A huge weight was placed on implementation, and the students had so many great ideas on challenges they may face and how to work through them. Everyone was very excited about having this tool to both use while they are in country and to introduce to their hospitals to give the local technicians more resources. The library contains material that will not just enable the technicians to fix equipment, but also learn new skills including how to make their own equipment out of local materials.
The students were excited to get their hands on the SPELLs and see how everything connects, then take them outside to test!
Each week during the first month of training, there is a practical day where the students go as a group to a hospital to fix equipment. This last week we went to Mt. Meru Hospital in Arusha, Tanzania, where the SolarSPELL for BMETs was already put to good use!

A dreamlike scene set in reality, this two-story building is a fusion restaurant in Pingtung that makes chocolate ganache. Made to look like chocolates stacked upon one another, the entrance leaves a delectable trace, the fork lifting the delicious sign up cleverly serving as a resting area for guest waiting for their desserts, while special paint gave the outer walls the texture of cocoa powder. Coupled with unconventional materials such as faux rust boards and metal pipes, the building amazes even from afar. Silky as chocolate, it invades the senses and sweeps your taste buds away with its bittersweet taste.
Dividing up the chocolate cube, the inner space is sectioned into mismatched dining areas of different tones, deliberately leaving 50% of the space to allow a smooth flow of human traffic and create a comfortable eating environment.
Lines and crevices crisscross into raised squares. Imagine that you're standing on a chocolate brick, enveloped by a chocolate world! We wanted to create a feeling of being surrounded by chocolate, so we added a lot of cocoa elements to the indoor dining area, using design techniques to tell different stories in each space. For example, in one semi- open boxed area, banana leaf patterns and green walls imitate the tropical rainforests in which cocoa beans grow.
The space incorporated many designs with a mix and match of materials, such as using black metal pieces and metal nets to extend the 3D wall made with chocolate-shaped molds. Corresponding it is a large window that, through the mosaic and transparent nature of glass, not only brings in the warm brightness of southern Taiwan, but also shows a view of the greenery outside, creating a dining atmosphere of light industrial style merged with a tropical flair.
Bar seating by the window was added to create some change to the layout. Like cocoa and white fillings encased by rich black chocolate, the white draining board material connects layout of the counter and aisles from the ceiling. Whether it's the imagery of melting chocolate, the use of soft furnishings, vintage tiles and translucent brick walls in the restrooms, or the quirky way of how someone seemed to have taken a bite out of the industrial container, the whole place is full of chocolate themes, forming unique outlines.
We embedded many surprises among the bold design, letting the rich texture dance on our tongues, having enjoyment spread through the senses as we engage our palette, not just connecting food with the environment, but also displaying the uniqueness of the commercial space.
