For the third time this year, Knoxville oil and and gas company Miller Energy Resources has issued preferred stock to raise money for general corporate purposes.
Miller said Wednesday it raised $7.2 million from the sale of preferred stock that was completed Tuesday. Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
MLV & Co. LLC acted as sole book-running manager for the offering. Aegis Capital Corp., Maxim Group LLC, National Securities Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of National Holdings Inc. and Northland Capital Markets acted as co-managers.
Miller raised $11.1 million in May and $14.3 million in February with follow on sales of preferred stock.
Miller has exploration and production operations in Alaska's Cook Inlet and East Tennessee.

Knoxville-based coal producer Xinergy Ltd has reached a milestone with the completion of a coal preparation and rail loading facility at its South Fork mine in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.
The new facility is expected to help boost production substantially in the coming months.
The South Fork operation is expected to produce at "an average rate of 50,000 tons per month during the second half of 2013, representing approximately half of the complex's anticipated productive capacity," according to a news release.
The company previously said it expected to invest $20 million in the coal preparation and rail loading facility.
"Notwithstanding the challenging market conditions, we are extremely excited to report that we have completed construction of our South Fork infrastructure project on time, and within budget. We will continue to focus on driving shareholder value by executing upon our strategic vision of building out our premium quality mid-vol coking coal footprint in West Virginia," Xinergy President Bernie Mason said in a news release.
In its most recent financial report, Xinergy said it had a net loss of $1.9 million, or 3 cents per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to net income of $1.7 million in the same period the year prior.
Xinergy operates coal mines in West Virginia and Virginia. It sells thermal and metallurgical coal to electric utilities, steelmakers, energy trading firms and industrial companies.

Manufacturing is doing well in Tennessee, but growth is being held back by "the relatively low level of educational achievement of its adults," according to a report released today by Ball State University.
Tennessee received a B for manufacturing and a B+ for logistics in the 2013 Manufacturing and Logistics Report Card prepared by Ball State's Center for Business and Economic Research.
In stark contrast,the report gave Tennessee a D- in Human Capital, a category that includes the level of high school and collegiate achievement, the number of associates degrees awarded annually per capita and other educational measures.

Will Big Business invest in legal marijuana?
A recent Pew Research Center survey found that more than half of Americans now favor legalizing marijuana.
The survey, coupled with the growing number of states that have passed laws legalizing recreational and medical use of pot, helps explain why there's increasing talk of big tobacco and big pharmaceutical companies investing in the marijuana industry.
Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, but if Big Business takes an interest who knows what could happen.
Would you buy stock in a pot company?

Unfortunately today's news generally comes prepackaged according to the political persuasion of the media outlet you consume. All manner of FOX leans right, all manner of NBC leans left. The Times and CNN are just fake. They make up stories, at least so says the President and his spokespeople.
Coming of age I was always taught that through effective dialogue you can usually arrive at a well-reasoned outcome that might even shed light on seemingly intractable, commonly thought of as "wicked," challenges we face as a collective. Unfortunately we've devolved into a "who can best talk over someone" scenario in which no one is listening and everyone is just trying to get in a zinger. Perhaps a fine vehicle for a locker room brawl, but surely not very effective for getting to the bottom of the key issues of the day.
The really bad news is that it's not any different in houses of Congress or State Houses around the country. We saw a striking example recently at the confirmation hearings of judge, now Justice Kavanaugh.
So, what do we need to do. Simple…STOP WATCHING…and start observing how long it takes before viewership is measurably down. The down-ticks will lead to lost advertisers which leads to lost revenue.
It is a BEGINNING… the next step… stay tuned for details!

Patrick Wayne on how his passion for music changed his life for good
Patrick Wayne says that music has pumped wondrous colours into his so-called boring life where he didn't really know where to go, and which career to choose going ahead in life. He truly believes that music can be a life changing affair and act as a savior for many who follow it with passion. He recalls how dwelling deep into the music realm has helped him cope up with challenges and hurdles which he thought he would never be able to cross. "Music has drastically changed my life and helped me come out of my comfort zone and speed ahead at a fast pace to achieve what seemed to be impossible." Patrick Wayne has been inspired by many artists who have made their mark in the big, competitive world of music, and he says that he wants to go a step ahead and achieve much more than what they have achieved.
It's your passion and undying love towards the craft that can take you to your destination, claims the music artist who's been working hard, practicing for hours to get that distinct edge which would make him shine bright amongst the pool of talent that are ready to make their entry into the world of music. According to him, one needs a constant source of motivation to get there, and you need to closely follow the success stories of those who have already managed to conquer a secure place, right at the top. When asked about his experience as a music artist / singer, he says, 'the response for my work has been overwhelming, with many people including some renowned personalities who have deep knowledge of music appreciating my singing capabilities. It has been a huge morale booster for someone like me who has just stepped into the music realm and is compared to seasoned singers from the music industry. My confidence levels are at their optimum levels, and now I want to go a step ahead in proving my worth by giving my best."
There's more to come from this amazing music artist in the coming times. Stay tuned for more on him shortly.

The Linux virtual file system or virtual file system generally is a layer that sits on the top of your actual file system which allows the user to access different types of file systems, you can think of virtual file system as an interface between the kernel and the actual file system.
That means you will not find any entries for those Linux virtual filesystems in your /etc/fstab file. Yet, you will still find them when you type the mount command.
If you are coming from Windows, the virtual file system is the Registry.
The proc file system is a virtual file system which is mounted on /proc directory.
There is no real file system exists on /proc, it's a virtual layer that is used for dealing with the kernel functionalities.
This is a very powerful and easy way to query Linux kernel.
Notice that if you check the size of the file in /proc directory, you will find that all file sizes are 0, because as we said they don't exist on the disk.
When you type cat /proc/cpuinfo command, a file is dynamically created to show you the CPU info.
The only file that has a size in /proc directory is /proc/kcore file, which shows the RAM content. Actually, this file isn't occupying any space on the disk.
As we've seen, we can read the content of proc files, but some of them are writable, so we can write to them to change some functionality.
For example, this /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward file controls IP forwarding in case you have multiple network cards.
Keep in mind that when you change any file or value under /proc directory there is no validation of what you are doing, you may crash your system if you type a wrong setting.
The previous modification to the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward entry will not survive after rebooting since you are not writing to a file, this is a virtual file system, means change happens to the memory.
You can write your entries in /etc/rc.local file, or in Red Hat based distros like CentOS, create /etc/rc.d/rc.local file and make it executable and enable the systemd service unit that enables the use of the rc.local file and write your entries.
The sysctl command is used to change entries in /proc/sys/ directory.
Make sure that the file /etc/sysctl.conf does not contain the entry before you write your changes.
/proc/cpuinfo information about CPUs in the system.
/proc/meminfo information about memory usage.
/proc/ioports list of port regions used for I/O communication with devices.
/proc/mdstat display the status of RAID disks configuration.
/proc/kcore displays the system actual memory.
/proc/modules displays a list of kernel loaded modules.
/proc/cmdline displays the passed boot parameters.
/proc/swaps displays the status of swap partitions.
/proc/iomem the current map of the system memory for each physical device.
/proc/version displays the kernel version and time of compilation.
/proc/net/dev displays information about each network device like packets count.
/proc/net/sockstat displays statistics about network socket utilization.
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_ display the range of ports that Linux uses.
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ protection against syn flood attacks.
These are some of the common entries in /proc directory.
If you list the files in /proc directory, you'll notice a lot of directories which have numeric names, these directories contain information about the running processes and the numeric value is the corresponding process ID.
You can check the consumed resources by a specific process from these directories.
If you take a look at the folder named 1, it belongs to the init process or systemd (like CentOS 7) which is the first process runs When Linux starts.
The /proc/1/exe file is a symbolic link to /lib/systemd/systemd binary or /sbin/init in other systems that use init binary.
The same concept applies to all numeric folders under /proc directory.
To protect your server from SYN flood attack, you can use iptables to block SYN packets.
A better solution is to use SYN cookies. A special method in the kernel that keeps track of which SYN packets come. If the SYN packets don't move to established state within a reasonable interval, the kernel will drop them.
And to persist the changes.
Another useful example which is the /proc/sys/fs/file-max, this value shows the maximum files (including sockets, files, etc,) that can be opened at the same time.
sysfs is a Linux virtual file systems which mean it's also in memory.
sysfs file system can be found at /sys. The sysfs can be used to get information about your system hardware.
From the result of the above command, the file sizes are all zero because as we know this is a Linux virtual file system.
Block list of block devices detected on the system like sda.
Bus contains subdirectories for physical buses detected in the kernel.
class describes class of device like audio, network or printer.
Devices list all detected devices by the physical bus registered with the kernel.
Module lists all loaded modules.
Power the power state of your devices.
tmpfs is a Linux virtual file system that keeps data in the system virtual memory. It is the same like any other Virtual File Systems, any files are temporarily stored in the Kernel's internal caches.
The /tmp file system is used as the storage location for temporary files.
The /tmp file system is backed by an actual disk-based storage and not by a virtual system.
This location is chosen during Linux installation.
The /tmp is created automatically by systemd service when booting the system.
You can setup tmpfs style file system with the size you want, using the mount command.
Working with Linux virtual file system is very easy.


One in five brokers has thought about leaving the industry due to stress, according to research by Ecclesiastical.

Home Sports Soccer Win, lose and draw
Santos Martinez, defender for the Lane Titans, takes aim at the goal against Southwest Oregon Community College October 6, 2018.
Win, lose and draw
Titans tromp through the Willamette Valley in search of playoffs
By Marek Belka -
This October has seen a full range of emotion for the Titan men's soccer team.
After an easy 2-0 victory over the winless Rogue Ospreys in Grants Pass on Oct. 3, Lane lost a heartbreaking home match against first place Southwestern Oregon, felled by a single second-half goal on Oct. 6.
Heading into Lane's match against the Portland Panthers on Oct. 14, the two teams were tied for third place – and the final playoff spot – in the Northwest Athletic Conference South region. A win against Portland would put the Titans in a strong position to clinch a spot in the playoffs.
Torch staff
Cian Cronin, middle forward for the Titans, weaves around defenders to make a run for the goal.
Instead, the Titans wrestled with the Panthers in a brutal 0-0 stalemate in Hillsboro Stadium. The match featured a goalkeeping clinic – Panthers' goalie Isaac Aguilar saved seven of Lane's 13 shots – and a flurry of penalties – six players left the match with yellow cards.
Frustrations simmered toward the end of the draw, with both teams receiving penalty bookings after the 75th minute for hard fouls. In the 88th minute, a yellow card on Lane defender Santos Martinez set the Panthers up for a last-minute opportunity to score. Enrique Aguilar nearly dashed the Titans' hopes to make the NWAC playoffs, but a save by goalkeeper Jacob Scorse preserved the draw and the Titans' season.
Midfielder Cian Cronin led the charge for the Titans, taking five shots – two on goal – in his 55 minutes on the pitch. Forwards Jesus Velazco and Callum Speed also added two shots each, though no Titan could find the back of the net.
With two games remaining in the 2018 regular season, Lane is tenuously hanging on to the final playoff position in the South region. Because of their better overall record, the Titans own the tiebreaker over Portland, but the Clark Penguins are just two points behind the two teams and could sneak into the playoffs with a strong finish.
Middle Forward Braidon Fletcher makes a shot on goal against Southwest Oregon Community College on October 6, 2018.
Lane and Clark face off on Oct. 20 in Vancouver, a game that will likely decide the fate of the two teams' postseason chances. The Titans close out their regular season campaign at home on Oct. 24 against first-place Chemeketa.

Review January 6, 2020
Review: The Robots of Gotham by Todd McAulty
Publisher: John Joseph Adams/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (June 19, 2018)
This review is going to have multiple openings:
Take one part Alice in Wonderland, one part The Wizard of Oz, knead thoroughly, roll out to an even consistency and then place in your Easy Bake Thought Machine until the surface is golden brown. The resulting confection should please just about everyone, with or without butter.
Larry Niven was a master of the technological red herring; his stories invited the reader to speculate on the logical reasonings of often inscrutable aliens along with his characters – and both they and the reader frequently arrived at incomplete or incorrect assumptions, carrying the story into newly discovered and uncharted waters. McAulty manages the same trick, this time with robots and artificial intelligences.
I first fell in love with giant Mechs when I saw this cover for the FASA game Battletech – even though I know such things are militarily impractical; The Robots of Gotham offers some tantalizing glimpses into how and why such technology might one day find its way to the battlefield.
When was the last time you read a book that offered up a completely new and unique vision of the ways in which artificial intelligence might come to be, and how humans and autonomous robots might interact and form societies?
Confession: I initially bounced right out of this book (which, full disclosure, was provided to me for review purposes). While it opened with a slam-bang action scene crafted to hook the reader, there were a couple of disconnects (for me) that suggested that reading the remaining 674 pages was going to be a disappointing slog.
I set it aside: over the past few years I've moved from religiously finishing any book whose cover's I'd cracked to ye olde slushreader's methodology: if it doesn't grab me by the end of the first page – or, worse, turns me off for some reason – it's onto the rejection pile and off to the next thing.
Such would have been the fate for TROG had it not been for the intervention of social networking. (Finally I have found a useful purpose for that scourge of humanity.) I requested suggestions for reads on Facebook and someone mentioned TROG; I responded that I'd bounced off of it and several others told me to give it a second chance. I told them I might.
And then the author private messaged me.
Surprisingly, he did not do so to excoriate me for bad taste, or for being a failure as a reader; he didn't complain that my comment would endanger his Amazon best seller status, didn't attack me for being a fake fan, did not call my ancestry into question nor suggest what my sexual proclivites might be.
He asked me to try and explain to him what had bounced me out of the book because he believed that such negative feedback would be more likely to help him improve his skills, stating that such analysis would be far more helpful than reviews praising his work.
For that reason alone his work deserved another shot.
I opened up TROG again, first to figure out what my disconnects were. I rediscovered them fairly quickly and, in retrospect, they seem very minor and not something that would bother anyone who hasn't been reading science fiction for over half a century (nor something that would bother most who have been reading science fiction for a half century or more), dutifully shared my notes and then dove in.
To discover a richly detailed futurescape full of action, political intrigue that would make Machiavelli applaud, a unique take on artificial intelligence, a new approach to robotics, a world obviously based on a tremendously detailed amount of world-building, an interesting hero, well-motivated and yet largely inscrutable supporting cast and a new SF talent that will no doubt produce additional works of wonder that in future I will not hesitate to read – even if the opening paragraphs give me pause.
I think the two authors Todd McAulty reminds me of most are Larry Niven and Alexis Gilliland: Niven for his ability to keep the reader guessing, of presenting multiple interpretations of possible plots and keeping them in the air all at the same time; Gilliland for getting deep into the weeds of political machinations and illustrating how political expediency can lead to a ride down the rabbit hole.
The Robots of Gotham takes place in a near future in which machine intelligence has awakened and has a profound impact on human society, not the least of which is a balkanized United States, a former US that is still reeling from a war that it lost against a coalition of South American instrumentalities, perhaps working in conjunction with several machine governed entities. McAulty's main character is the CEO of an electronics communication firm who, hunting after business, finds himself in an occupied Chicago when a remnant of the United States military in the form of a giant mech, puts in an appearance in the form of an attack. It seems that the US (when it was still an intact nation) had legislatively banned all autonomous machine intelligences as well as all research into the same and, as a result, countered machine-based military hardware with human-piloted giant mechs.
Our hero gets dragged into a seemingly endless series of convoluted secret plots by assisting an injured robot who turns out to be a diplomatic envoy for the independent state of Manhattan.
The constant refrain running through my head as I was swept along by the narrative was "omg – another convolution! How deep does this thing go!?"
The voice inside my head made such exclamations with a positive, wonderous tone. It wasn't saying "OMG, this is just too twisty-turny, deeply layered and obscure" it was saying "OMG! this is just like real life where no act of kindness ever goes unpunished! See! THIS is what happens when Canadians go all Good Samaratin and start helping injured diplomatic robots from the Kingdom of Manhattan and try to assist Russian-accented doctors who are almost single-handedly trying to save humanity from multiple existential threats with one hand tied behind his back!"
And then there's the dog.
No, I won't offer details as that would be too spoilery. But yes, there's a dog, not to mention two love interests (other than the dog).
Lets just say that if you enjoy a book that manages to surprise you with the turning of nearly every individual page, TROG is your baby.
There's a lot to be said about The Robots of Gotham if one is looking at it through the lens of "SF is commentary on our current times"; it's quite possible that the various machine intelligences that have taken over the governance of various nations around the globe are stand-ins for the various rearings of fascist heads around the real globe; it's quite possible that the remnants of the US are analogs for the oligarchs of that country and that the entire novel is commentary on a coming conflict between the uber rich and dictatorship; or that's its commentary on what can happen if those various forces are allowed to continue down their paths without check.
But I find that attempting to tease out the "hidden meanings" of this novel is an exercise that robs it of some of its joy; I think it best to swallow whichever pill strikes your fancy and then hang on for the ride, because no matter what your take aways may be at the end, the ride itself is a howlingly mad and exciting one.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention, at least in passing, that I found McAulty's take on the emergence of AI and autonomous, self-aware machine intelligences, to be a unique one. It strikes a fine balance between the AI as humble assistant to its creator (Asimov) and the AI as machine hell-bent on the elimination of humankind at all costs (Terminator). It treats AIs as "people" – some smarter than others, more capable than others and subject to whim and whimsy just like people, and some just as influenced by "emotional" issues as people. It's kind of odd to think of a self-aware machine capable of wiping out humanity deciding not to do so just because it doesn't feel like it, but I think that may present a viewpoint on AI-Human relationships that rings true, and may be unique in the annals of SF. We've encountered homicidal robots before (Fondly Fahrenheit for example), but never, to my experience, ones that adopt human instrumentalities, mores and ethics simply because that's the world they're born into.
This take certainly provides the author with some very fertile ground worth exploring, and it is explored very well here.
If you want to skip the yada yada, feel free to do so. Just know that if you are into conflict of all kinds, ranging from the personal of a knock-down fist-fest, to the global of weapons of mass destruction; if you find artificial intelligences intriguing, if you like giant warrior mechs and power-armored fighting suits, not to mention twisty-turny political intrigue worthy of (ok, I'll say it – Game of Thrones), then you should run, not walk, to your nearest bookstore or web browser and pick up The Robots of Gotham.

The Right Is Not Winning The Culture War – The Left Is Losing It
By Josh Eisen
@JoshEisen
Do conservatives yield a significant degree of influence when it comes to culture? Or is conservatism's cultural influence almost entirely determined by whether or not the Left cannibalizes itself? To pose this more specifically: Are people now beginning to reject a hegemonic effort to force everyone to view victimhood as virtuous because conservatism is leading them to reject it? Or is the notion so outrageous that the Left's attempt to push it is simply backfiring horrendously? It is almost undeniably the latter.
In other words, the Right is not winning — the Left is losing. Conservative values are not triumphing. Instead, a far-left attempt to constantly reinforce our immutable differences is finally being exposed for its intellectual and moral hollowness. This is nonetheless an important distinction to make. Even Trump's election did not happen because he won everyone's hearts and inspired a massive turnout, it was because Hillary had no clear message and had terrible voter turnout. Trump won because Clinton lost. Likewise, conservatives are not winning; liberals and progressives are losing. Unlike the election, though, the campaign for cultural dominance is an ongoing one.
It follows that you don't want the success of your "team" (for lack of a better word) to be predicated on the failure of your opponent. I mean you'll certainly take the W when it happens, but it's never a recipe for long-term success. Saying that the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA championship last year is not the same thing as saying that the Golden State Warriors lost it. The 2016 Warriors were up 3-1 in the series against the Cavaliers and they blew that lead. The championship was theirs to lose and they lost it. Yes, as a consequence the Cavs did win the 2016 championship and it required considerable effort on their part, but after going 73-9 during the regular season and 15-6 in the playoffs, the Warriors hadn't lost three games in a row before they blew their 3-1 lead to the Cavs. So what did the Warriors do? They not so casually picked up Kevin Durant, the second-best player in the league and went on to take the championship right back from Cleveland the next year.
Similarly, the direction that our culture takes is the Left's to lose, and right now they just so happen to be losing it. However, like the Warriors, all that Democrats and progressives need to do is adjust. They need to smarten up, be a little more strategic, call an audible or two, and it's theirs again. That's why conservatives cannot afford to become complacent and must consider long-term cultural influences while not deviating into reactionary movements predicated on feeding off of leftist errors.
Here is a short list of self-defeating things that Democrats insist on doing that are losing them the culture war despite their considerable advantages in the establishment media, educational and political spheres:
Doubling down on identity politics
Having celebrities make videos telling us how good they are for being progressive and voting Democrat
Making TV shows such as, "Dear White People"
Making every single joke on every single late night show about Trump
Inserting politics into sports
Preventing speakers from speaking on campus
Diluting the meaning of terms such as white supremacy, Nazi and racist
Telling (white) people they somehow continue to perpetuate a non-existent system of oppression
Having one person claim to speak on behalf of a certain marginalized group
Projecting, "privilege" onto people you don't know just because of their skin
Teaching one school of thought on university campuses
Attempting to exterminate masculinity
Disregarding the economic consequences of free stuff
Refusing to acknowledge the threat that Radical Islam poses to the West
Paying for refugees to come into the country and have them live in neighborhoods or houses that aren't yours
Lack of facts to support most if not all their claims in attempt to support an oppression narrative (i.e cops are en masse killing black people)
Ok, so it's a little more than one or two audibles, but most of them were either not occurring or not occurring to the degree to which they are since Barack Obama took office in 2009.
Nonetheless, if conservatives rely on botched attempts by Democrats and progressives as their only method of garnering cultural influence, it will continue to be the case that most newly-politically affiliated individuals (young people) will steer left. In this, progressivism and cultural Marxism has essentially become the default ideology for millennials. It is becoming even fairer to say that going through an ideologically progressive phase at the genesis of one's political awareness is something analogous to adolescence for many young people who are just entering the arena of politics.
The MSM, Hollywood and academia established a framework of discourse whereby only they get to determine what it means to be ethical and humane. They design a cultural mold to fit their ideological subscriptions while implicitly appointing themselves as the distributors of ethical status and proper adherents to culture. As a result, young people who are innocuously introduced into the world of Hollywood, media and academia at first become enamored with its aesthetics, pleasure and social security (i.e the beauty of celebrities, the entertainment in movies, the utility of academia, etc) while their ethical worldview becomes like Play-Doh to be easily pressed into the cultural mold. It is now nearly impossible for a child to go his or her entire life without being relayed the message that to adhere to the values communicated by these institutions is simply what people "with hearts" or "who are civilized" do. Prior to their decaying influence, the MSM, Hollywood and academia successfully employed a zero-sum moral framework of public discourse whereby they benefit at the expense of those who deviate from their worldview.
The cultural utility that a guy like President Trump presents is that he functions like a bulldozer dead set on taking down these institutions – particularly the MSM establishment. But keep in mind that even taking down the MSM is by no means a "conservative" thing to do; it's an anti-establishment thing to do. It could, however, arguably be a necessary act. It could be the case that a cultural void needs to be created before conservatism can actively fill said void and ultimately sway culture. So while Trump is a great destroyer of the media and perhaps other corrupt institutions, conservatives still should look to a President in 2020 who is more of a cultural architect like an Obama-type, rather than another bull in a China shop like Trump.
However, by the same token, one of the problems conservatives have had historically is that they've been far more politics-centered than they have been culture-centered. To Republicans, it has been more important to win elections than to win the culture. What's mistaken about this is that American politics is in many respects subservient or at least subsequent to the culture surrounding it. It follows that the cultural atmosphere usually impacts the laws that are passed. The GOP has a terrible track record of passing genuinely conservative proposals and so they resort to things that make them appear bipartisan and compromising. This explains why Republicans propose horrendous bills like AHCA (aka Obamacare Lite). Our culture does not permit a genuinely conservative healthcare proposal, which is to have a free market healthcare system. It instead dictates that we must be guided by compassion and that the government must provide affordable and increasingly extensive healthcare to as many people as possible at the expense of "the one percent." Every GOP bill that Congress sees is often just a less leftist version of whatever the Democrats are proposing.
The point is that winning in politics is by no means a guaranteed increase in cultural influence or ideological acceptance. So not only should Republicans and conservatives look to a more strategic political play for 2020, they should also do their best to be cultural opportunists in the meantime.

AK ALIEN Why These Exercise Pants Simply Rock ?
Working out is considered an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is recommended to keep the body healthy and at an ideal weight. Now more than ever, fitness is considered as an important part of one's daily routine. Aside from the usual jogging, swimming, biking and aerobic exercises, brand new forms of exercise classes are being developed to keep up with people's needs to workout.
Yoga, Pilates, Aerial Silk, Pole Dancing, Body Jam, Body Combat, Muay Thai and many, many more are just some of the exercises women have considered as great alternatives to traditional work outs. This has replaced treadmills and stationary bikes which are not only boring but also unmotivating. The modern classes, on the other hand are challenging, enjoyable, and also burns a lot of calories.
Problem is, with such grueling activities, it's hard to find work out clothes than can keep up. Yes, ordinary loose t-shirts and jogging pants cannot stand up the torture and movements involved in these classes. This is why specialized workout leggings or pants have been developed to provide women with sturdy and durable clothing while they do their exercises.
Here are the criteria for great exercise pants.
Comfort is important while exercising. Yoga pants or leggings should be made from materials that are strong yet breathable. There should be enough space for the fabric and the person wearing it to breathe and still feel comfortable. It must also fit snugly but not constrict the waist and the legs, otherwise blood may not be able to circulate freely. AK Alien is one such brand that carries yoga pants and leggings. Don't be fooled by the name though, this study pair of clothing can be used for other forms of exercise and workouts as well.
AK Alien leggings and pants are made from premium quality fabric that stretches, flexes, and conforms to your body's shape and movement. This is one big advantage over other products in the market which often rip or tear and leave the wearer in an embarrassing situation. AK Alien also features compression pants which help people, especially athletes, prevent muscle strain and injuries. The purpose of compression pants is to keep the muscles warm. Athletes who want to train extra hard wear these for a more intenser workout.
AK ALIEN features an extensive line up of sleek and attractive-looking yoga pants and leggings. The designs and colors are eye-catching and appealing. They make for striking workout ensembles that can be teamed with shirts, tank tops, or cropped teas. Just because you're working out doesn't mean you have to look drab and always wear black bottoms. Try AK Alien pants and you'll be adding more fun and variety to your exercise outfits.
Best of all, the snug but comfortable-fitting waistband makes sure that there are no accidents or embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions in the middle of exercise class. AK Alien pants and leggings are the best alternative to traditional shorts and jogging pants. It's easy to find and shopping online is convenient and fast.
Choose from dozens of colors and designs which are available in different sizes!

manninghamdentist made a real revolution in the industry.
I had to admit it, but living alone without a male in the house was harder than I thought it would be without some extra protection. I ended up having an ADT security system installed in my home after 4 months of being frightened night after night before I got the system installed. I just could not take it anymore. It pains me to say that I did not feel safe in my own home. However, I no longer have those same fears and I sleep so much easier now.
When I looked at the Summerlin apartments in Las Vegas NV, I was more interested in finding out about the apartment and community amenities than I was at looking at the floor plans. I had found a lot of apartments that I really liked as far as their layout goes only to be disappointed when I looked at the features for the apartments. If I liked the interior, then I was disappointed with the common features for all the tenants. I finally learned my lesson and decided to look only at the features and amenities first.
The appearance of a woman or any person, especially her complexion and skin depends to a large extent on hereditary factors, her lifestyle and diet. On the other hand, the computer and internet skills, depend on the interest of the person, education levels. There are many uneducated women with excellent flawless complexion and skin because they had the right father and mother like the google, tata sponsored kolhapur born school dropout cbi employee gujju housewife naina chandan, who looks like actress sneha wagh.
There are also many women especially engineers with imperfect skin with scars, dark patches who have spend a lot of time working on computers, internet and have computer skills which allow them to make money from customers outside india. Yet in a clear case of discrimination and human rights abuses, the indian and state government especially goan government refuse to acknowledge the computer, internet skills of older women engineers only because they have imperfect skin.
These regressive dishonest government officials will never have the honesty and humanity to face the engineer who they are defaming and refuse to acknowledge since 2010 since she file a case of criminal defamation, yet they are openly involved in a major financial, online fraud since 2010.
Since these lazy fraud women are not doing any computer work at all, they have plenty of time during the day for looking after their appearance, complexion and keeping their house in perfect condition. They can also spend plenty of time exercising since the indian government is blindly believing in the complete lies of the fraud ntro, raw, cbi employees.
If ntro employees did not discriminate they should have also made and circulated videos of how naina, who openly admits that she is eighth standard pass school dropout married at the age of 16, has got a cbi job with the help of liar ntro employees like puneet, parmar, parekh who gave her fake references of domain ownership and her fraud cheater husband who has bribed the corrupt liar security and intelligence employees in panaji ,. goa who are involved in a real estate fraud in goa with the help of google, tata.
These ntro employees should also circulate videos of the flower robbery of their favorite school dropout cbi employee naina if they are so worried about honesty. Instead these fraud liar ntro employees are only wasting indian taxpayer money to circulate photos, videos of the real domain private citizen, a single woman engineer, without a legally valid reason while she is shopping to defame her in the worst possible manner.
Due to the fraud of google, tata, ntro, raw, cbi, domain registrars, the real domain investors is making a huge loss, and she cannot afford to renew many domains, and will also not be able to register new domains. The domain registrars are powerful, they can file a complaint with the indian government regarding the fraud on their real customer who is paying all the expenses, after working very hard. If the domain registrar had the humanity to acknowledge the real domain investor, she would not be so ruthlessly cheated and exploited.
Offline most companies value their customers, even if they are ugly and soft spoken, only in the indian internet sector, customers who are ugly and soft spoken are not acknowledged in a clear case of looksim. However the domain registrars do not have the courage and integrity to lodge a complaint with the indian government about NTRO, raw, cbi's fraud of falsely claiming that their lazy greedy cheater employees own the domains of a private citizen. Since domain registrars are letting ntro, raw, cbi get away with their domain fraud, the real domain investor is facing great losses, and is trying to reduce her portfolio by 10% annually for the next 5 years.
In a clear example of the incompetence and inefficiency of the indian government, Goodlooking lazy greedy mediocre women get raw/cbi salary and pension only by seducing powerful fraud liar ntro employees who are infatuated with them to give fake references of an engineering degree from a top college, savings, paypal account and domain investment.
Like the saudi killers of jamal khashoggi, the indian intelligence and security agencies, ntro employees have no evidence at all, to support the fake references which they have given to their girlfriends who seduced them.
However in goa, almost everyone the domain investor is interacting with online, is only interested in defaming, cheating, exploiting and framing her, to exploit her and steal her identity for the rest of her life.
After the liar elina, who falsely claimed that she was interested in purchasing a flower plant, when she was least interested in making payment of a small amount, now on olx , another fraudster beauty with brains, sent message on olx , in a clear attempt to frame the domain investor, engineer and make her agree to identity theft.
However the engineer is very careful, and avoids interaction with these fraudsters in goa, after being cheated by siddhi mandrekar and others. why are goan women not interested in working hard and achieving anything on their own legally, why are they so shameless and greedy that they are always trying to frame, cheat and exploit hardworking engineers from top colleges .
Large breasts are considered a symbol of feminine beauty in most parts of the world. However the breast size depends to a large extent on genetic factors and lifestyle, so many women who do not have large breasts are looking for other options to increase the size of their breasts.
Surgical methods like implants and breast lifts are used to increase the breast size in some cases, however these methods are expensive and also risky. So increasingly women are looking for alternate methods to safely and inexpensively enhance their breasts.
Breast enlargement creams are an inexpensive and safe method to increase the breast size, and this article discusses naturaful vs vollure creams for increasing the breast size.

Promo Code For International Emerging Artists to Get Free 2nd Submission to Billboard Art Project Los Angeles
October 5, 2015 mariekazalia 1 Comment
Adam Santelli, The Billboard Creative founder asked me to share this opportunity with my readers to submit their art along with this special promo code (arm15) for artists to use for a free second submission to the project call.
The Billboard Creative is a non-profit arts organization that raises money through donations and a small submission fee. Adam Santelli says, "We feel that by having a submission fee it frees us in our choices of artwork. We keep the fee as low as possible and all the money raised through artist submissions goes to getting the art work on billboards. We are an all volunteer organization. Our last show – with the help of the accepted artists – we did a silent auction to raise money for kids living with cancer. That's TBC in a nutshell. We look for like-minded organizations to help us get the word out. SF Camera Works just sent out a flyer to their members on our behalf. We issued them a special coupon code to their members for a free second submission. We would like to offer more but our fees are so low and our cost is so high we really can't do much more."
The Billboard Creative Q4 Show Submissions are Now Open and Curated With INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED ARTIST MONA KUHN ON BOARD AS CURATOR (monakuhn.com)
"I was introduced to The Billboard Creative during the April show and was enthralled," said Kuhn. "With the role of public art more critical to our society than ever, I love the idea of exploring the billboard as more media for fine art. Los Angeles has a long history of artistic interaction with the billboard form going back to the 60s with Ed Ruscha. We can build on that history to make significant works of art more regular fixtures on the streets of our city. What a canvas; what a setting."
SELECTED WORKS WILL BE SHOWN ON 37 BILLBOARDS THROUGHOUT LOS ANGELES in the HOLLYWOOD area, with 3/4 of the billboard art by emerging artists and 1/4 by established artists.
Eligibility: All welcome
Entry Deadline: 10/16/15
Submit at: thebillboardcreative.org
Submissions welcome from all disciplines – if you can put it in an image file, we can put it on a billboard. The Billboard Creative is a nonprofit that produces public art shows on billboards throughout Los Angeles. Imagine the impact of your art viewed, on a massive scale, by tens of thousands of Angelenos on their daily commutes. Check out the website for more details, past work, to submit work here.
The young non-profit, The Billboard Creative, transforms billboards into works of art and daily commutes turn into art hops. – After its successful inaugural show in April that brought 15 works of art by artists from seven countries to the billboards across Los Angeles. The Billboard Creative hopes to double the number of works on display in its second show.
The Billboard Creative was founded in 2014 with the goals of giving artists access to a mass audience and making art as assessable to Angelenos as the numerous billboards they view every day. "There is so much happening in museums and galleries in Los Angeles right now, and we want to be a part of bringing that into the streets and into the path of tens of thousands of people's everyday routines," said Adam Santelli, TBC founder. "We're an outdoor city, a car culture, a great city for art, and if you think about it, billboards are really a quintessential A medium. Our hope is to bring these things together more often." The submission deadline is October 15.

Two tigers have been brought to the Bilikal protected forest here, ahead of the March 2 inauguration of the Atal Behari Vajpayee Biological Park (tiger safari) here.
Ramya and Prithvi, aged seven and six years, respectively, have arrived here from the Mysore zoo, so that the park can be opened in right earnest on the scheduled day by Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, to coincide with the inaugural of the Hampi Utsav.
A court case was among the reasons for the delay in the inauguration of the park, work on which begain in 2010. Environmentalist Santosh Martin had approached the court, saying that the safari was being started without the necessary clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF).
Deputy Conservator of Forests K Purushotham told DH that the approval had now been granted. Lions, elephants, leopards, hyenas, bears, white peacocks and crocodiles will also be housed here. Blackbucks and deer ar already there.
The fenced park has five ponds. The park, over 149.5 acres, will have a 35-acre safari. The inauguration is three months behind schedule.


This hotel also features a fitness center, spa facilities, sauna and whirlpool. The large indoor pool offers pool toys available for children. There are many attractions within six blocks, National Aquarium, Port Discovery Children's Museum, Maryland Science Center, Great Blacks in Wax and the ESPN Zone.

Q: How to open Other app from ReactNative? How to open other apps (Gmail, Camera) from ReactNative. How can I pass data from current scene to other app?

A: I found this npm library react-native-app-link which can open other apps. This is based on deep linking, if you have any deep links then this library can help.  This doesn't open apps just by giving the android package name or ios app id.
https://github.com/FiberJW/react-native-app-link

A: you can mange opening other apps using Linking

A: Code sample for opening the dialer
const urlToOpen = 'tel:1234567890';
Linking.openURL(urlToOpen);

You can refer to the official doc here, it just predefines some applications, which can be opened.
However, if the question is about to open just about any application, I hope there is no solution till now.

A: react-native-app-link has some redundant config (e.g. appStoreLocale parameter), so I wrote my own realization using their code:
import { Alert, Platform, ToastAndroid } from 'react-native';

const isIos = Platform.OS === 'ios';

const showNotification = (text) => isIos
  ? Alert.alert(text)
  : ToastAndroid.show(text, ToastAndroid.SHORT);

const openApp = ({ url, appStoreId, playMarketId, name }) => {
  Linking.openURL(url).catch(err => {
    if (err.code === 'EUNSPECIFIED') {
      Linking.openURL(
        isIos
          ? `https://apps.apple.com/app/id${appStoreId}`
          : `https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=${playMarketId}`,
      );
    } else {
      showNotification(`Can't open ${name} app`);
    }
  });
};

It tries to open the app by the specified link, and if the user doesn't have such one, it opens its page in AppStore or Play Market.

Worn-out Worker Regulation
Without you Sir, I would have been a lost case. I will not forget all you have done for me.
B.R., Queens
SSD Legal Issues
The Worn-Out Worker and Social Security Disability
The Social Security Administration's sequential evaluation process includes an alternate provision for establishing the inability to perform other work for certain "worn out workers." These workers are deemed disabled if a claimant:
Has only a marginal education,
Has at least 35 years of work experience performing arduous, unskilled physical labor, and
Is unable due to a severe impairment to return to such labor.
20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1562, 416.962
The foregoing regulations provide that if a claimant has only a marginal education, a work experience of 35 years or more during which the claimant did arduous unskilled physical labor, and the claimant is not working and is no longer able to do the same kind of work because of a severe impairment(s), the SSA will consider the claimant unable to do lighter work and, therefore, disabled. However, if the claimant is working or has worked despite the impairment(s) (except where the work is sporadic or is not medically advisable), the SSA will review all the facts, and may find that the claimant is not disabled. In addition, the SSA will consider the claimant not disabled if the evidence shows that the claimant has training or past work experience which enables him or her to do substantial gainful activity in another occupation, either on a full-time or a reasonably regular part-time basis.
The regulations provide the following example to assist in the interpretation of the provision:
B is a 60-year-old miner with a fourth grade education who has a life-long history of arduous physical labor. B says that he is disabled because of arthritis of the spine, hips, and knees, and other impairments. Medical evidence shows a combination of impairments and establishes that these impairments prevent B from performing his usual work or any other type of arduous physical labor. His vocational background does not show that he has skills or capabilities needed to do lighter work which would be readily transferable to another work setting. Under these circumstances, we will find that B is disabled.
If a claimant has only a marginal education, and long work experience (i.e., 35 years or more) where the claimant only did arduous unskilled physical labor, and the claimant can no longer do this kind of work, the SSA applies § 404.1562 to evaluate whether the claimant is disabled.
20 C.F.R. Pt. 404, Subpt. P, App. 2, Medical-Vocational Guidelines
An individual with a marginal education and long work experience (i.e., 35 years or more) who is limited to the performance of arduous unskilled labor, who is not working and is no longer able to perform such labor because of a severe impairment(s), may still be found disabled even though the individual is able to do medium work.
Social Security Ruling 82-63
SSR 82-63 sets forth the required analysis for evaluating whether a claimant meets the requirements of sections 404.1562 and 416.962 of the regulations.
An impairment must be severe and prevent the performance of arduous physical labor.
An individual's work history must have lasted for 35 years or more.
The work must have been "arduous," which is defined as primarily physical work requiring a high level of strength or endurance. While arduous work will usually entail physical demands that are classified as heavy, the work need not be described as heavy to be considered arduous. For example, work involving lighter objects may be arduous if it demands a great deal of stamina or activity such as repetitive bending and lifting at a very fast pace.
The work must also have been unskilled. Unskilled work consists of simple duties which require little or no judgment and may be learned in a short period of time. SSR 82-63 explains that employment in semiskilled or skilled work generally would rule out the application of sections 404.1562 and 416.962 of the regulations. Isolated, brief, or remote periods of experience in semiskilled or skilled work, however, would not preclude the applicability of these regulations when such experience did not result in skills which enhance the person's present ability to do lighter work. Also, periods of semiskilled or skilled work may come within the provisions of these regulations if it is clear that the skill acquired is not readily transferable to lighter work and makes no meaningful contribution to the person's ability to do any work within his or her present functional capacity.
The person must have a "marginal education." A person who has a marginal education may not have attained a level of development in reasoning, arithmetic, and language which would suggest a vocational potential for more than unskilled work. Generally, an individual is considered to have a marginal education if he or she has no more than a sixth grade elementary school education. However, the level of formal education is not conclusive of a person's vocational competence. The responsibilities and tasks of past employment may demonstrate a higher level of competence than that indicated by his or her formal schooling. Conversely, a person may have attended school beyond the sixth grade, but other evidence may establish capability for reasoning, arithmetic, and language which does not, in fact, exceed the "marginal" criterion.
First Circuit
Although the hearing record did not reveal the ALJ's reason for excluding evidence of the duration of the claimant's employment, even if the ALJ did err, the error was harmless. Stewart v. Heckler, 594 F. Supp. 590, 593 (D. Me. 1984). The claimant did not qualify for the 35-year rule because his work experience was semi-skilled, as found by the ALJ and supported by substantial evidence, and not unskilled, as required by the 35-year rule. Id.
Fourth Circuit
Where it appeared that the claimant might qualify for consideration as a person who had performed arduous, unskilled labor for a long period of time, who had little education, and who had no transferable skills, the ALJ should have considered the applicability of section 404.1562. Montgomery v. Schweiker, 529 F. Supp. 124, 129 (D.Md. 1981).
Fifth Circuit
Although the claimant presented evidence that he fit within 20 C.F.R. § 404.1562, the Commissioner failed to make findings of fact relating to the claimant's claim applicable thereto. Vasquez v. Heckler, 736 F.2d 1053, 1054 (5th Cir. 1984). The Commissioner made no finding as to the applicability of the regulation to the claimant, nor did she state the reason or reasons why she did not apply the regulation in reaching her decision. Id.
Where there was nothing in the record or testimony to show that the claimant was even a semi-skilled worker, the claimant was disabled pursuant to 20 C.F.R. § 404.1562. Miller v. Shalala, 825 F. Supp. 776, 782 (N.D. Tex. 1993). The claimant had only a marginal education, had a work experience of 35 years or more during which time he did arduous unskilled physical labor, and was no longer able to do this type of work because of severe impairments. Id.
Since the claimant worked in an arduous unskilled type of work for less than thirty-five years, section 404.1562 did not apply. Croom v. Harris, 512 F. Supp. 240, 245 (M.D. La. 1981).
Seventh Circuit
In Regino Cavazos v. Apfel, 130 F. Supp.2d 1016 (N.D. Ind. 2000), the ALJ found that the claimant did not meet the "worn out worker" regulation set forth in 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1562 and 416.962. Id. at 1020. The court noted that the definition of "arduous" work does not involve any "specific physical action or exertional level," and while work classified as "heavy" is usually considered "arduous," "work involving lighter objects may be arduous if it demands a great deal of stamina or activity such as repetitive bending or lifting at a very fast pace." Id.at 1021, citing SSR 82-63. The court found that the ALJ "completely failed to take the repetitive, fast paced nature of the coal room work into account in considering whether it met the definition of 'arduous work.'" Id. The court also agreed with the claimant that the ALJ failed to make specific findings that the work the claimant performed in Mexico both in a grocery store lifting 100 pounds stocking shelves and his farm work beginning at age 6 was not arduous. Id. The court noted that the VE testified that the farm work would require a great deal of stamina, and that "the only evidence in the record is that the plaintiff's farm work constituted 'arduous work.'" Id. at 1022. The court also held that the ALJ did not discuss the second prong of the "worn out worker" regulation which requires that a claimant have only a marginal education. Id.at 1022. Since the ALJ needed to reconsider whether the claimant qualified as a "worn out worker," remand was required. Id.
Eighth Circuit
The Eighth Circuit rejected the claimant's arguments that he qualified as a worn-out worker under 20 C.F.R. § 404.1562. Smith v. Shalala, 46 F.3d 45, 46-47 (8th Cir. 1995). The Court reasoned that the claimant completed the eighth grade in school and testified that he could read and do simple calculations, precluding him from being classified as having a "marginal education." Id. As stated by the Smith court, formal schooling at a sixth grade level or less is a "marginal education" and 7th through 11th grade is termed "limited education." Id.
The Eighth Circuit rejected the claimant's argument that the ALJ should have applied the "worn-out worker rule." Mitchell v. Shalala, 25 F.3d 712, 715 (8th Cir. 1994). The court found that the ALJ "in effect did apply the 'worn-out worker rule' when he applied the Medical/Vocational Guidelines," even though the ALJ found that the claimant had a "limited education." Id. The court agreed, however, that if newly discovered evidence submitted to the district court supported a finding that the claimant had a "marginal education," the "worn out" worker regulations would result in a finding of disability. Id.
Where the record indicated that the skilled and semi-skilled work the claimant performed resulted in no skills which were transferable either to work presently existing in the national economy or to work within the claimant's present residual functional capacity, the ALJ erred in concluding that the claimant's previous periods of skilled work precluded a finding of disability under section 404.1562. Walston v. Sullivan, 956 F.2d 768, 772 (8th Cir. 1992).
Ninth Circuit
The court found that the ALJ was not required to expressly consider the application of 404.1562, where the claimant had not engaged in arduous work for 35 years or more. Tobias v. Heckler, 605 F. Supp. 233, 237 (N.D. Cal. 1985). Section 404.1562 permitted a finding of no disability where the work experience showed transferable skills even if they only permitted part-time work. Both job descriptions completed by the claimant showed supervisory duties and completion of reports or orders. Even assuming the claimant had a marginal education and the required work history, his work experience demonstrated his skills to do paperwork and supervise other workers and could have been held to be transferable. Id.
Eleventh Circuit
The Eleventh Circuit rejected the claimant's contention that his past 35 years of work experience had been limited to arduous unskilled physical labor so that he met the requirements of 20 C.F.R. § 404.1562. Powell v. Heckler, 736 F.2d 633, 635 (11th Cir. 1984). Because the vocational expert testified that the claimant's past work experience was semi-skilled and unskilled, the claimant was not entitled to be found disabled on this basis. Id.
In Street v. Barnhart, 340 F. Supp.2d 1289 (M.D. Ala. 2004), the court held 20 C.F.R. § 416.962 did not apply because the record showed that the claimant completed the sixth grade in 1961, and stopped working in 1992 and did not spend thirty-five years in the workforce. Id. at 1294. Furthermore, the court noted that the record also created some doubt as to whether all of the claimant's work should be classified as arduous and unskilled, noting that the claimant's work as a painter may have been semiskilled, and this regulation only applies "whenall of a claimant's work for 35 years is arduous and unskilled." Id.at 1294 n.4, citing 20 C.F.R. § 404.1056(a)(3)(i) and SSR 82-63.
D.C. Circuit
The court held that the ALJ did not fulfill his obligation where he did not question the claimant's length of employment and the potential applicability of 404.1562, "which was fairly obvious from the evidence in the record." Maynor v. Heckler, 597 F. Supp. 457, 460 (D. D.C. 1984).

Pat dry the pork shoulder with some paper towel. Cover it in the rub and let it sit for 10 minutes until the rub turns a bit of a darker colour.
Put the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and add the root beer. Add sliced onions if desired.
Turn the slow cooker on low and walk away!
6-8 hours later, remove the pork shoulder from the liquid. Shred the roast and set aside.
For an extra flavour boost, take the liquid in the slow cooker and start reducing it in a pan. Add in your favourite bbq sauce once it starts to thicken a bit and then combine the sauce and the shredded pork in the slow cooker. (Reducing the liquid could take some time so if you are in a hurry just dump the liquid and use the bbq sauce only).
Serve it up on some nice crusty buns and enjoy!
