A fantastic journey across the universe of Jheronimus Bosch. The Seven Fingers Theatre and Circus, in cooperation with Theatre Republique, the Jheronimus Bosch Foundation, and the Circolo Festival, has created a new circus and acrobat show. Against the background of magic projections, strange creatures and fairy tale animals come to life. In the supernatural Universe episodes of the artist's life and plots of its pictures get mixed together.
"We know very little about Jheronimus Bosch himself. However, today, art historians consider him one of the greatest artists of the world, whose topics and motifs reflect the deepest hidden desires and deeply hidden fears of the humankind. It was important for me to stress that Jheronimus Bosch was not just simply another artist. His work has had a great influence on Salvador Dali and the entire movement of surrealism that came to life hundreds of years after Bosch's death. He showed fantastic worlds, indecent monsters and flying beings. I cannot imagine a more fitting genre for turning these pictures into life than the modern circus. Once I met Ange Potier, author of a short animation film based on Bosch's most famous picture, Garden of Earthly Delights. His film was incredibly beautiful and had a profound impression on me. So when the Jheronimus Bosch Foundation asked me to create a show dedicated to Bosch's 500th death anniversary, I never had second thoughts. I asked Ange to work with me on the project of a modern circus performance with Bosch pictures as parts of stage design. We created this unique show in cooperation with him and Martin Tulinius, artistic director of Republique, a theatre from Denmark, as a tribute of admiration that we have for this artist", — Samuel Tétreault.
"Bosch is very generous. There's so much in his pictures that you can study and think about. Moreover, strictly speaking, he is an incredibly successful artist. He studied his time, and he transferred what he saw onto the canvas with astounding detail. Naturalism and daily reality in his work co-exist with fantastic worlds, filled with fire, fantastic beasts and special effects. If Bosch were living today, he'd become an excellent film director. <…> In the show we wanted to express the spirit of Bosch as precisely as possible. The viewers will appreciate how they will be drawn into Bosch's pictures at one time, and get distanced from them at another. 25 various characters, magic masks and performance mastery allowed these pictures to come alive", — Ange Potier.
Bosch's Dreams is a show dedicated to the memory of director and stage designer, artistic director of Republique Theatre (Copenhagen, Denmark) Martin Tulinius (1967–2016). The show is a part of the Bosch-500 International Project. The world premiere of the show took place in Copenhagen in September 2016.

Mersa Brega, Western Desert,1941
5th January 2017, 8 Comments
The Second World War, Battlegroup Panzergrenadier, 10mm
Last week Sandy Gillespie and I discussed the possibility of staging a small WW2 game, as I hadn't yet tried out the new "deluxe" version of Battlegroup Panzergrenadier. These used to be a staple rules set of ours, but they got set aside as we got caught up in Chain of Command WW2 skirmish games, or other periods entirely. Now, a few of the others overheard us, and said they wanted to play too. So, for the first game of 2017, what began as a small "rules acquaint" became a 12 person mega-game, fought on two tables! The game was set in late March 1942, a few weeks after the British swept the Italians back towards Tripoli. Now the Italians were counter-attacking, encouraged by Rommel and his Afrika Korps. In our game the battle was fought on two 6×4 foot tables, with the attackers entering on the western edge (one of the short sides). On the inland (or southern) table, the British defenders were faced by the spearhead of the German 5th Light Division, with its panzers. On our coastal (or northern) table the defenders of Mersa Brega were facing the Italian Ariete Division, supported by colonial infantry. In both cases the British infantry were drawn from the 9th Bttn., Rifle Brigade. Held in reserve off table were the cruiser tanks of the 5th RTR, and a squadron of Matilda infantry tanks. Both sides had air and artillery support. First off, I have to apologise for not taking pictures of the inland table. I did, but thanks to problems with my camera (which is falling apart) none of them were any good. Here though, the two companies of British infantry of the 9th RB at least had anti-tank guns backing them up. On our coastal table where two more companies of the 9th RB were deployed, we had nothing – not even a single anti tank rifle. This with half of the Ariete Division coming down the Via Balbia towards us! So, for us it was all about hanging on until reinforcements arrived. On the inland table the Germans pressed forward cautiously, using their tanks to probe the defences. Once the British anti-tank guns were detected (ie when they opened fore) the Germans called down artillery fire in an attempt to neutralise them. The British whistled up their Matilda squadron, which stemmed the tide – for a bit. It was clearly a hard-fought game – what I saw of it – and both sides lost tanks, until the table seemed covered in smoke. The initial infantry positions of "C" Company were forced to pull back under overwhelming pressure, but this was done with some skill, and by the end of the evening the British were still hanging on. However, in two places a handful of German tanks had broken through gaps in the defences, and were heading for the eastern table edge. Victory, you see, depended on getting troops off both eastern table edges. On the coastal table a mile or so to the north the leading British company was dug in on castle hill (where an old Moorish castle stood), standing in for cemetery hill in the real battle. The British also held the lower village, at the bottom of the hill. The second company ("B") was echeloned back at the rear table edge. To the best of my knowledge Jack who commanded them never moved them or fired a shot with them throughout the game, despite the waves of Italians breaking over "A" Company further forward. Words will be spoken in the mess. So, "A" company were left to face some two battalions of Italian infantry, supported by a battalion of Italian medium tanks. What Jack and I tried to do was to use our artillery to blunt the attack while the Italians were still bunched up. Unfortunately two of our three "stonks" were completely ineffectual. We never got air support, but reportedly a strafing run by Hurricanes was made over the inland table. So, while two Italian companies massed on the lower slopes of Castle Hill, two more assaulted the lower village, supported by tanks, while a third pair of companies headed around the defender's left flank. Given the odds it was hardly surprising the defenders were forced out of the lower village. The platoon there was suppressed by fire, and then hit by a combined assault of tanks and infantry – colonials from the south and regulars from the west. One section was wiped out, and another forced to retire. At that point the platoon commander pulled everyone back towards the east, hoping to regroup. He never had much of a chance, as the Italian tanks and infantry kept coming – three assaults, one after the other. Another section was lost, but the rest withdrew up onto the hill, where the tanks couldn't follow because of the rough bouldery ground. They caused casualties though – capturing the lower village had cost the Italians the best part of an infantry company, and a couple of tanks had been damaged and forced back. Then there was a development. The cruiser tanks of the 5th RTR appeared, commanded by Jack, and they advanced a little way onto the table. There they stopped – in very non-cavalry fashion – and formed what amounted to a gun line. It then blazed away at the Italian tanks, who duly blazed back – a tank on tank fight that seemed to achieve little, but looked pretty impressive nonetheless. Then though, the Stukas arrived. Attracted by this nice juicy line of British tanks they swept down it, releasing bombs as they went. The pain was concentrated on "B" Squadron, which had four tank models (A10s and A13s). Two were knocked out, and two more damaged and forced to retire. This blew a big hole in the British line, and a company of Italian M13/40's advanced into it, having bypassed the British defenders of the lower village. On the Italian right the colonial infantry crested a small hill and found themselves facing "A" squadron of cruisers. They were duly riddled with machine guns fire, and forced back. That and the Italian tank advance proved to be the attackers' high water mark. On castle hill the defenders fought off two frenzied assaults by Italian motorised infantry, causing heavy casualties. Somehow they held on, and by the end of the game castle hill remained firmly in British hands. At that point we called it a day. Sandy, acting as the umpire, rules interpreter and all-round compere took a look at the situation on both tables, and deemed the game a draw. However, on the inland one he noted the a few German units Germans looked like they'd make it past the defenders, and within a turn or two would make it off the table. So, that table was a draw with a slight German edge to it. All in all it was an enjoyable game, even though at some points the Italian assaults seemed never-ending. I actually think we did well to survive, given the odds. While the inland table was played out on a sand-coloured cloth, what really made the coastal table was the terrain, built by the fair hand of Mike Scott from Supreme Littleness Designs. It was a real joy to game over, and while it all looked terrific, with its coast, hills, roads and villages, the real cherry on to p of the cake was the castle, with the small village clustered around it. Absolutely superb – and thanks again "MDF Mike", for letting us play with it!

Nice looking table! I'm also doing North Africa in 10mm. May I ask where you procured the buildings (or scratch-built?) and palm trees? Thanks.
The terrain all belonged to Michael Scott, who runs Supreme Littleness Design. He made it all, including all the buildings. I don't know about the trees though. It certainly looked terrific. Ask him (www.supremelittleness.co.uk).
The palm trees come from one of the Chinese model railway suppliers that can be found on Ebay.
How did Panzergrendier feel after playing Chain of Command? which would be the rules of choice? (if you had to make a choice!) I ask as I seem to spend most of my wargaming time looking for the perfect rules!!!
CoC is skirmish, BgPzgren. is a company/battalion level game.So, two different kettles of fish. They're both really good at what they do, but there's room for two sets here, so no choice required!
Why not try playing them both, and do please let me know what you think of them.
Looked to be a fun game and the Brits did well to hang on as they did. I agree that the terrain is cool and the castle particularly impressive.
Our group used to play Panzergrenadier and it seemed to do the job for Eastern Front 41-42. What is different about the deluxe version may I ask? I don't really want to pay a bunch of money if there isn't a lot between the two versions.
We have tried getting into Chain of Command but – maybe we are thick – we just have trouble understanding parts of the rules, especially the activations.
Derek is the one to answer that one – he does rules much better than I do. The two versions are essentially very similar, but Dave Brown has changed around the command system a fair bit, making it a little slicker. He's also tinkered with artillery and air strikes, and force morale. Derek?
As for CoC, they're pretty straightforward, especially if you look at the tutorial videos on You Tube.
Command system is different and a few other things are tweaked and cleaned up a bit. I think Deluxe is a better game, there seems to be more important decisions to be made.
I'm going to fork out the £30 odd for the new version.

2020 presidential election Biden campaign Biden wins Intelwars Joe Biden Secret service wilmington
Secret Service headed to Biden campaign HQ in Wilmington as Biden reportedly prepares to deliver big victory speech
Post author By Sarah Taylor
The Secret Service is sending in extra agents to the Biden campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, beginning Friday to ramp up protection ahead of his possible assumption of the presidency.
According to the Washington Post, Biden's campaign is preparing for the possibility that former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden could soon claim a victory in the election against incumbent President Donald Trump.
"The Secret Service summoned a squad of agents to add to the protective bubble around Biden after his campaign told the agency that the Democratic nominee would continue utilizing a Wilmington convention center at least another day," the outlet reported, "and could make a major speech as early as Friday, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the security protocols."
Secret Service spokesperson Catherine Milhoan — as well as a spokesperson for the Biden campaign — declined to comment on the reports.
The ongoing controversy over election results may delay the Secret Service from providing Biden with the full regimen of protection that is normally afforded a president-elect while any pending controversies are resolved in court.
"Secret Service would probably feel duty-bound to ramp up protection before then, a former agent said," the Post added, pointing out that a similar scenario played out once before during the contested 2000 presidential election between former President George W. Bush and former vice president and Democratic nominee Al Gore.
TheBlaze reported on Friday that Biden took the lead in Pennsylvania, and a win in that state would put him over the 270-vote threshold in the electoral college.
The Trump campaign has promised a series of legal challenges to the results in several states, but most of those challenges have not yet been filed.

India's Renewable Investments Near $20 Billion
By Haley Zaremba - Aug 04, 2018, 10:00 AM CDT
For the first time in history, investing in India's renewable energy sector surpassed that of traditional fossil fuel-based power production. India achieved this groundbreaking feat in 2017 according to the recent numbers released in the International Energy Agency (IEA)'s World Energy Investment 2018 report.
Ringing in at nearly $20 billion, last year's investment in Indian renewables accounted for over a third of investments in the power sector thanks to nearly double the money being poured into solar and wind projects. By comparison, in 2017 all investments in power projects based on coal, gas, and oil as fuel reached totaled just $16 billion altogether.
India's rising investments in the renewable energy sector has dovetailed with a fall in coal power investments and thermal power generation. Investment for new coal plants plummeted to their lowest numbers in 15 years, according to the IEA report.
Leading the charge is the southern coastal state of Karnataka, home of the booming tech city Bengaluru and locus of the subcontinent's renewable energy frontlines. Over the last 12 months the region became India's biggest renewable power producer, boasting an installed power capacity of 12.3 gigawatts (GW). This is comprised of 5 GW of solar energy, nearly 5 GW of wind energy, and 2.6 GW of other renewable power sources like hydro and biomass.
Reflecting the national trend, Karnataka's renewable energy has far outstripped coal, which currently stands at around 9.8 GW of capacity in Karnataka. Another striking comparison can be found in the state's production numbers just 5 years ago. In 2013, Karnataka had a coal capacity of 6.8 GW, far less than the current capacity, but dwarfing the mere 4 GW of renewables capacity at the time.
This sweeping change is thanks in large part to the recently decreasing prices of wind and solar power. At the same time, India's thermal power sector is collapsing, and coal prices are rising. For a nation that makes up a huge part of global power expenditures, it's a no-brainer. In 2017 India, China, the United States and Europe together account for a whopping two thirds of worldwide electricity network investments.

By all accounts, this is just the beginning of the renewables revolution in India. A few years ago, the nation publicly set what was, at the time, an ambitious goal to reach 175 GW of wind and solar energy by March of 2022. This was already a lofty plan, but in June India increased that target to 227 GW -- a staggering 28 percent bump. In the time that the goal was originally announced, India has so far managed to add about 70 GW, and they've announced a plan to auction off 40 GW of renewables every year until 2028.
As India charges ahead, the rest of the world is falling behind on energy sector investing. In 2017 global energy investments were just $1.8 trillion after three consecutive years of decline. This is a fall of 2 percent as compared to 2016, and the IEA projects that the decline will continue over the next few years.
Thanks to this global decrease in spending and a booming domestic demand for energy, India is able to soar through the ranks to the top of the charts. If India reaches their goal for 2022, they will be in third place worldwide for installed renewable energy capacity, coming in just behind China and the United States.
In addition to renewable energy, China and India are also leading the charge for electric vehicles in a time when other major players are shying away from alternative energy spending. By bucking global trends, India is making major headway --not to mention headlines-- on the way to a greener, high-powered future. Their aggressive renewable policies are a breath of fresh air in a fossil-powered world, and in a rapidly changing energy landscape, the first world may soon be turning to India to show them the way to a cleaner future.

Fallout 2 Game Story
At the end of the original Fallout, the hero, the Vault Dweller, was exiled by the Vault Overseer for prolonged exposure to the outside world. Unable to return home, the Vault Dweller, with a group of willing companions, traveled far north. Eventually they started their own tribal village called Arroyo in what we know as Oregon. Decades have passed since the original Fallout, and the Vault Dweller disappeared from Arroyo after writing his memoirs.
In the time since the Vault Dweller's exile, a new government known as the New California Republic(abbreviated NCR) has begun to unify the southern towns and is spreading to the north. A mysterious new organization known as the Enclave has emerged with the most sophisticated technology in the wastes, even surpassing the Brotherhood of Steel. A new drug, jet, has become a cancer on many towns, its addictive properties forcing many to rely on the town of New Reno to keep them supplied.
During 2241, Arroyo suffered the worst drought on record. Faced with the difficulty, the village elders asked the direct descendant of the Vault Dweller, referred to as the Chosen One, to perform the quest of retrieving a Garden of Eden Creation Kit (GECK) for Arroyo. The GECK is a device that can create thriving communities out of the post-apocalyptic wasteland. The player, assuming the role of the Chosen One, is given nothing more than the Vault Dweller's jumpsuit, a RobCo Pip-Boy 2000 handheld device, a Vault 13 water flask, and some cash to start the mission.
The player eventually finds Vault 13 (the first place possible to obtain a GECK) devoid of the majority of its former human inhabitants. The Chosen One returns to find his village captured by The Enclave, which is later revealed to be remnants of the United States government. The player, through a variety of means, activates an ancient oil tanker and its autopilot, thus allowing him to reach the Enclave's main base on an offshore Oil Rig.
It is revealed that the dwellers of Vault 13 were captured as well, to be used as test subjects for FEV (Forced Evolutionary Virus), together with the Arroyo tribesmen. Vault 13 was supposed to be closed for 200 years as part of a Vault-Tec Vault experiment; this makes them perfect test subjects. The Enclave modified the Forced Evolutionary Virus into an airborne disease, designed to attack any living creatures with mutated DNA. With all genetic impurities removed, the Enclave (who remain protected from radiation) could take over.
The player frees both his village (Arroyo) and the Vault 13 dwellers from Enclave control, and destroys the Enclave's oil rig. In the ending, the inhabitants of Vault 13 and Arroyo villagers create a new prosperous community with the help of the GECK.

In the time old tradition of posting project builds, I'd like to share my experiences with everyone of my project build Nicknamed "Blue Venom".
Osprey Vipermax 6.2m with 200 litre underfloor tank.
Under rubbing strake safety lines.
Seats made and supplied by Osprey to a custom size and fitted in a U configuration.
could be an award-winning thread!!!!
Looks like an excellent prospect Andy!
I'm the next in line for a Hull so I guess it's about 6 weeks from the start of that. Then I get her home, that's where my work begins. Hope she's in the water by summer end.
As for Outboards? Who knows!
I'm going to have at least a 150hp unit and would like a 175hp sat on the back.
This is where you guys can help! 25" or 20" transom? My gut feeling is to go for the Xtra long shaft, what are your opinions?
You think so Martin? I wanted a RIB that looked like no other . A RIB that Seafarers would look on in amazment and their jaws would drop at the sight.
As for the pig and bread. Down South we don't have bread BIG enough for a whole pig. But I'm sure we can "rustle" up something....Like Sheep! Codprawns more than welcome too!
6.2m? Has someone lopped 300mm off it?
Rather than a cut & shut 6.5, the 6.2 is a 'stretched' 5.8.
There's two Vipermax moulds, the smaller mould used for the 5.5 - 6.2 range and the large mould for 6.5+.

Chemistry is the science of matter; the branch of the natural sciences dealing with the composition of substances and their properties and reactions. It is not an isolated discipline, and it merges into physics and biology.
Because physics covers so much area, it is divided into several specific fields of study, such as electronics, quantum physics, astronomy, and biophysics.

With ICT you cannot do software engineering in ad engineering faculty.
I did the same combination as you and Yes you can do ICT with maths and physics to become a software engineer.then your stream will be other,not physical science or arts.
Hello sir just now I had passed my o/l's and now I have an idea to go through technology.Can you please tell me what can I do after that.
Very difficult to say. But remember you cannot be an engineer with technology.
Can I do biology in eng medium and chemistry, physics in sinhala medium.will it be a disadvantage to me? School says if it is I should select all the subjects in eng medium.what's the best?
You should select all subjects in one medium.
If you need to bio science then you have to do chemistry.
I sat for the GCE Advanced Level Examination in Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Second time I need to change the field of physics in field agriculture science. What are the steps that should be taken? I am a school candidate .
You can write next year in bio, physics and agriculture. apply exam in these subjects. But need to study this new subject in short time.

Palestinian Knife Attack Leaves 2 Israelis Dead
By : James Taylor
Tag: attack, Israel, Israeli, Jerusalem, Jewish, killed, military, Palestinians, Police, State, West Bank
Police spokesperson Luba Samri said the Palestinian attacker took a gun from one of the wounded men and opened fire at police and tourists.
Aharon Bennet, 21, a religious Jew serving in the military, was walking through the Old City with his family when a Palestinian youth attacked them with a knife, Israeli media reported.
Two Jewish men, one walking with his wife and infant and the other rushing to his aid, were stabbed to death Saturday in Jerusalem's Old City, Israeli officials and news reports said.
Israeli border policemen stand in front of the West Bank side of the examine point between Jerusalem & Bethlehem throughout clashes with Palestinian demonstrators Friday., October 2, 2015.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would meet with security officials Sunday to decide upon a "harsh offensive on Palestinian Islamic terror", according to a statement on his Facebook page.
It is hoped that the violence and attacks won't escalate and make the problem worse as tensions are rising between the Jewish settlers and the Palestinians in the area.
Israeli soldiers evacuated the al-Aqsa Mosque compound after arresting at least 40 worshippers following the first attack on Saturday.
Worship at the sensitive Al-Aqsa mosque compound will be restricted to Old City residents and Israeli citizens of Palestinian origin, and limited to men aged 50 and above.
She said police had seen a Palestinian man holding a knife and he was shot and killed at the scene. Islamist movement Hamas, in power in the Gaza Strip, praised the attack as "a heroic act of resistance".
The West Bank is land Israel captured in a 1967 Middle East war that Palestinians want for a future state. Though not on the ranges of earlier Palestinian uprisings or "Intifadas", it has raised Israeli fears of a higher escalation.
The raids into the Haram al Sharif, one of Islam's holiest places, along with military restrictions on Muslim worshippers have stoked tensions and touched off clashed on and around the compound that spread across the West Bank.
The Jewish Sukkot Holiday, lasting eight-days, started last Sunday and has been going on all week.
The attack left Israeli settlers Eitam and Naama Henkin dead in their vehicle as they were driving in the Nablus area of the northern West Bank.
Abbas in his United Nations speech accused Israel of trying to change the status quo at the site, which bars non-Muslim prayer, or to divide it. Netanyahu denied this in his speech, and accused Abbas of inciting the violence.

Ashley (left) with friends Britney and April – the tension builds waiting to see The Boss in concert.
Recently Ashley went to see one of her musical heroes and inspirations Bruce 'The Boss' Springsteen at the Kentucky Yum Centre, Louisville, Ky.
A good time was had by all, although we might be paying the extra $$$ for some better seats next time!
We've got the video equipment working again, so hopefully will be posting more video covers and some of our original songs soon.
We've always been a bit of a fan of Bruce, so Ashley has decided to cover an old fave 'Dancing in the Dark'.
Most of the recording for 'Light it Up' has also been completed, so it's down to production phase as well – we'll also be making a video for that single also. We'll let you know when we are further along with that.

St. Elizabeth Hospital NICU
Salas O'Brien provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering for a $2.5 million renovation to the NICU at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont, Texas.
Christus Southeast Texas Health System has a rich history of compassion, faith, and determination to meet the constantly evolving needs of the community. The health system's roots go back over 100 years in Texas, with early and ongoing sponsorship and support from the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word in Houston and San Antonio. More recently, the Christus name has been showing up on the annual, nationally recognized Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award® list for patient satisfaction and employee engagement.
Location: Beaumont, Texas
This complex renovation project involved the addition of three new private rooms, a 3100A frequency oscillatory ventilator, and RetCam (a pediatric eye imaging device) to the existing NICU at St. Elizabeth. The update aimed not only to increase the functionality of the unit, but also to improve healthcare providers' ability to protect critical infants from overwhelming stimuli and harmful exposure.
Our work on this renovation and expansion project took into special consideration the critical needs of the infant patients that would occupy the space. We provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering for the new rooms and supported the installation of new ventilation and medical equipment in the main NICU area. This work included design for specialized lighting and noise reduction infrastructure in the ceilings and flooring. Salas O'Brien also renovated and updated the nurse call station to ensure better, faster communication and ease of access.
Both the renovated NICU and the updated nurse call station will improve Christus health professionals' ability to provide the highest level of specialized care to its patients.

Brookhill Road, East Barnet
An effective pre-application stage including discussions with Officers and a coordinated community consultation exercise generated significant local support, enabling Planning Potential to secure a committee resolution to grant permission for a new ALDI store in East Barnet.
The proposal involved the regeneration of a former car showroom and garage in East Barnet to deliver a new ALDI foodstore offering 1,471 sqm of gross floorspace, supported by a 60-space car park.
Due to the site's edge-of-centre location, it was necessary to provide detailed retail impact and sequential assessments to support the application. Our Planning and Retail Statement demonstrated that the site represented the most suitable location to provide a new foodstore for the area of East Barnet, providing much needed choice and competition. Design was also key to discussions, in order to deliver a careful design to respect the relationship with neighbouring residential properties, whilst providing an attractive street scene and overall positive regeneration of the site.
In addition to this, working alongside our sister company, Communications Potential, we conducted a comprehensive community consultation exercise, reaching out to local stakeholders and residents to ensure a coordinated approach and delivery of an outcome that benefitted all parties. This resulted in a high level of local support for the application – with 75% of consultees expressing support for the scheme.
Following a resolution to grant at committee, permission was secured in February 2018, with the store opening in late 2018. In response to local feedback, ALDI agreed to fund a new pedestrian crossing and deliver local employment.

Phyllis E. Hastings and Paulsen, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, appellees, and Robert Behrens, intervenor-appellee. No. S-97-863. Supreme Court of Nebraska.
March 3, 2000. 819*819 Patrick J. Nelson, of Jacobsen, Orr, Nelson, Wright, Harder & Lindstrom, P.C., Kearney, for appellant.
820*820 Gregory C. Lauby and Donald J. Pepperl, of Pepperl & McMahon Law Offices, Lincoln, for appellees Dennis A. Cumpston, Richard L. Cumpston, Robert L. Vitera, Karen S. Vitera, and Lori S. Cumpston.
Jeffrey S. Anderson filed an equitable action to establish the corners and boundaries between his land and the land of the defendants pursuant to Neb.Rev.Stat. § 34-301 (Reissue 1998). Anderson owns land accretive to the south bank of the Platte River, while the defendants own land across the Platte River from Anderson, including land accretive to the north bank. After a bench trial, the district court established the boundary between Anderson's property and that of the defendants at the geographical centerline of the Platte River. Anderson timely appealed, alleging that the court erred by not establishing the boundary at the thread of the stream, which he asserts is currently in the north channel of the Platte River. Defendants Dennis A. Cumpston, Richard L. Cumpston, Lori S. Cumpston, Robert L. Vitera, and Karen S. Vitera cross-appealed (collectively defendants Cumpstons and Viteras), claiming that the district court erred by not establishing the boundary at the thread of the stream, which they allege is currently in the south channel of the Platte River. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
Anderson owns land along the south meander line, or bank, of the Platte River generally described as all Platte River accretion lands deriving from and adjacent to government Lots 1, 2, and 3, Section 16, and deriving from and adjacent to government Lot 2, Section 9, all in Township 9 North, Range 22 West of the 6th P.M., Dawson County, Nebraska. Defendants Cumpstons and Viteras; Paulsen, Inc.; and intervenor, Robert Behrens, own adjacent parcels of property along the north meander line, or bank, of the Platte River; the property is located directly north from and has a south boundary contiguous with the north boundary of Anderson's property. Anderson filed the instant action to have certain corners and boundaries of his land ascertained and permanently established under § 34-301. Shortly thereafter, Behrens intervened as a defendant because he had recently entered a contract to purchase land involved in this controversy from defendant Phyllis E. Hastings.
In his petition, Anderson requested that the north boundary of his property be established at the thread of the stream of the Platte River, which he asserts is in the north channel. Defendants Cumpstons and Viteras filed an answer; in paragraph 3 thereof, it was alleged that when the United States of America conveyed the land described in Anderson's petition to the parties' predecessors in title, the Platte River flowed seasonally bank to bank and the geographical center line roughly corresponded to the thread of the stream; that thereafter artificial structures and diversions led to sudden reductions and shifts in the flow of the stream resulting in the Platte River becoming a braided stream with many small channels. In the same pleading, defendants Cumpstons and Viteras counterclaimed, asserting that if the court were to conclude that the thread of the stream no longer corresponded to the geographical centerline, the boundary to Anderson's property should be established at the thread of the Platte 821*821 River, which they claim is presently located in the south channel. Anderson filed a reply to defendants Cumpstons and Viteras' answer and counterclaim, denying certain claims and admitting the aforementioned allegations contained in paragraph 3 of their answer.

Taitron Components (TAIT) Upgraded From Sell to Hold
Taitron Components (TAIT) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from Sell to Hold with a ratings score of C-.

Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link. TheStreet Ratings quantitative algorithm evaluates over 4,300 stocks on a daily basis by 32 different data factors and assigns a unique buy, sell, or hold recommendation on each stock.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Taitron Components (TAIT - Get Report) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from Sell to Hold with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate TAITRON COMPONENTS (TAIT) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins."
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 32.00% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
TAIT's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.09 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.47, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
TAIT, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 3.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 3.2%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
The gross profit margin for TAITRON COMPONENTS is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 33.19%. Despite the low profit margin, it has increased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, TAIT's net profit margin of -8.51% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components industry and the overall market, TAITRON COMPONENTS's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Hello all. I'm Stephanos Bibas, and I'd like to thank Doug Berman for inviting me to guest-blog about my new book The Machinery of Criminal Justice, just published by Oxford University Press and available here.
(Alas, posts will continue to show Doug's name rather than my own.) Though I can't match Doug's speed and quantity of blogging, if time permits I may throw in a few other posts as well.
3) how we could swing the pendulum part-way back toward greater transparency, public involvement, and confidence within a lawyer-run system.
I can't cover the entire book in a week and won't try to excerpt it. This week, I'll focus specifically on punishments and how we might make punishment more visibly satisfying and less permanent, to better re-integrate ex-cons into society after they complete their sentences.
Today, I'd like to start by sketching out a couple of distinctive features of colonial American punishments that set them apart from our modern punishments. In this post I'll focus on the room left for mercy, and in the next post I'll explore how colonial justice was more open to reintegrating and forgiving convicts.
When we look back at colonial-era punishments, we think of them as promiscuously bloody, far too quick to execute. But while there were many more capital crimes than today, colonial America was much less bloody than England, both on paper and even moreso in practice (with the important exception of slave justice). Even though they were often capital crimes, burglaries, robberies, and thefts very rarely resulted in hangings. Before the Revolution, Pennsylvania convicted fewer than two people per year of capital offenses and executed only about one per year.
Though crimes carried fixed penalties, colonial justice was more lenient in practice because criminal procedure left plenty of room for mercy. One avenue was "pious perjury," in which juries convicted sympathetic defendants of lesser, noncapital offenses, often at the prompting of judges. Judges also interpreted rules loosely to allow sympathetic first offenders to avoid the death penalty. Likewise, juries took convicts' branded thumbs (marks of a first conviction) into account, factoring prior criminal records in deciding whether to convict of the latest offense. No rules of character evidence precluded common-sense inferences about whether a thief was likely to steal again or deserved mercy if he had.
Finally, executive clemency frequently softened sentences, on the recommendations of juries and judges. One of the most important grounds for pardon was the convict's character, including his upbringing, employment, family support, sobriety, honesty, and trustworthiness. While this could introduce some class bias, most pardons occurred without intervention by anyone but a judges, so plenty of poor and powerless people received mercy. Today we exclude much of this evidence as suspect, but it did cast light on the wrongdoer's broader blameworthiness, dangerousness, and prospects for reform. The emphasis was not on formal equality but on fully textured evaluation of everything known about this particular person.
Perhaps the most interesting factor in clemency decisions was the role of remorse. Then as now, one of the most powerful grounds for mercy was a convict's apparent remorse and change of heart. Thus, the colonists left plenty of time between sentence and execution for repentance. Of course, convicts often feigned repentance to postpone or evade the gallows, but then as now, officials saw through much of this fakery.
That's all for the moment. In my next post on the book, I'll discuss how colonial punishment sought not to exile wrongdoers but to reintegrate them into the community. After that, I'll move to how things changed over the past two centuries.


Illinois is joining the majority of states that have included lien bonds in their construction laws by enacting House Bill 2635. The new law allows a lien bond to be used as a substitute for a real estate property that is under a lien claim.
The House Bill, which was signed by Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner in July 2015, will take effect on January 1, 2016. It introduces changes to the Mechanics Lien Act in the state.
In essence, the lien bond is used as a guarantee that contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers involved in the improvement of personal or real property will receive their due payments for their labor or supplies.
Let's take a look who is affected by the new surety bond requirement, the purpose of lien bonds, and how lien bond petitions work.
In most cases, subcontractors and material suppliers are the ones typically involved in construction improvements on personal or real property. If they end up in a disagreement over payments with a project owner, they can file a lien on the owner's property.
The new bill introduces the option for an Illinois project owner to use a lien bond as a substitute for the real property under a lien. In this way, owners retain their rights on the property, while the subcontractors or suppliers are guaranteed to receive their due payments together with interest and attorney's fees.
Affected subcontractors or suppliers can demand that a lien release bond is put in place. Alternatively, the project owner can petition that the surety bond is used, instead of surrendering the ownership of the property in a lien claim.
A mechanics lien bond is used in disputes between subcontractors or suppliers and project owners over payments for contractor services or materials.
The claimant, in this case the subcontractor or supplier, can file a lien on the owner's property. This means that the construction specialist aims to gain ownership on the property, in order to foreclose it and thus ensure the compensation of the due payment that the owner has not made.
In this situation, owners can submit a petition to use a Mechanics Lien Release Surety Bond, instead of giving up the rights on the property. They can do so within five months from the filing of a mechanics lien claim. The lien bond needs to represent 175% of the lien amount. If the affected subcontractor or supplier does not object, and the lien bond meets the set requirements, the circuit court of the county where the property is located will allow the bond to substitute the property.
Lien bonds give property owners the opportunity to dissolve mechanics liens, so they retain the control over their property, and avoid foreclosure and sale. It also provides a mechanism for the claimant to full financial reimbursement for all due payments and additional expenses.
In order for a court to agree to substitute a property with a lien bond, the bond must meet certain criteria. It has to be issued by a surety provider which is A-rated and allowed to execute surety bonds.
The project owner who wants to substitute real property with a lien bond in a lien claim needs to send the petition to the circuit court within five months from the filing of the lien. He or she needs to submit detailed information about the claim and the bond, as well as about the parties in the case.
The claimant can object within 30 days, which means the case is then moved to court. If not, the property is substituted with a lien bond.
By introducing the new bill into its construction laws, Illinois joins the majority of states across the country that allow substituting a real property with a lien bond as security. The new legislation was prepared in collaboration with contractors' advocates and aims to solve lengthy foreclosure delays when mechanic lienors do not allow foreclosure sales until liens are settled. This is the first time Illinois allows "bonding off" of mechanic liens, a solution that addresses the problematic delays affecting even owners with title insurance.
If you still have any questions about the new lien bond requirement in Illinois, we'd be happy to help. Just contact us to get the information you need.

Mojang has released Minecraft on Nintendo Switch, a new version that uses the Bedrock engine which lets those on the portable home console play with others on Xbox One, Windows 10, VR and mobile devices.
This Better Together update is quite rightly something to celebrate, and, in a new trailer posted on Nintendo's YouTube channels, their bromance with Microsoft has continued.
""Create together. Explore together. Survive together. Better together," the trailer ends, that, while referencing the update's inclusive slogan, sees Nintendo Switch and Xbox One branding colours side-by-side.
It's a subtle jab at Sony, whose defiant refusal to allow cross-platform play with PlayStation 4 has seen it endure well of negativity after it was discovered that Fortnite accounts were locked to the console.
"We embrace working with a developer and enabling them to bring their vision to life. And whether that's Fortnite, whether that's a number of the other games that have cross-platform play on our console, from a developer standpoint that's what we want. And we work hard with them to bring that to life.
Minecraft is now available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch and is available for free to those that own Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition.

Amas de Tion is a grouping of planets located under an arm of the Perlemian Trade Route. It is mainly populated by human settlers who settled there over 25 years ago. And even before the Galactic Republic was formed, they had come together as an Empire and a Galactic Power. Not on a level equal to that of the Rakatas, or even as the current forms of Republic and Empire. But they were sufficient to have with the hutts a war which still resonates in history.
Although descended from the nobility, Xer was also a pirate leader. Around 21 before the Treaty of Coruscant, his troops were so feared that he used them as a base for some of the most formidable army in the area. At their head, he founded the Kingdom of Argai (name of the planet where he is installed). When the neighboring King of Cron offered him titles in exchange for his loyalty, he felt insulted and went to war. Conflict he won, and has since gone down in history as Xer VIII of Cron. He now had the means for his ambitions, and spent the rest of his life annexing the other kingdoms of Amas. The chronicles speak of eight wives and at least five sons: Xic, Xil, Xom, Xuc and Xim. He had them reared separately, each ignoring the existence of the others. He gave them the means to have their own pirate forces to see what they would do with it. And in this little game, it was Xim who showed himself the strongest. During the conquest of the kingdom of Cron, he distinguished himself by his brutality towards his noble opponents. When Xer VIII retired from business, he let him finish the conquest of the Livian League, the last independent territory of the Amas. Quickly, he eliminated his four brothers. Some say he also took care of his father. His brutality earned him the nickname Emperor Xim the Despot.
Xim and his troops rediscovered the science of managed portals, allowing them to strike farther than the range of their cruisers should have allowed them. His personal symbol, a white skull with stars shining in the eye sockets, was feared in several other areas. It was based on several technologies considered today as experimental or disappeared to increase its power. He is also the oldest warchief to use an army of battle droids. He also had a secret police in charge of tracking down and eliminating his internal opponents: the GenoHaradan. But the legend of Xim the Despot encountered a formidable enemy: the Hutt Empire. His first offensives were successful and he began to call himself Daritha Xim (Emperor Xim in rakata). But at the first battle of Vontor, he was defeated by Kossak Inijic Ar'durv. He returned to the charge, and the second battle of Vontor ended with a much more divided result. The Hutt had to create an alliance with the Klatooiniens, Vodrans, Nikto and Weekay to ensure a definitive victory. Some versions claim that the pirate emperor ended up exhibited as a slave before his execution. Kossak rose to fame as the Devourer of Despots (reportedly related to Jabba, but unconfirmed). However, the Queen of Ranroon, Xim's flagship, disappeared with her treasure on board. Between those looking to rediscover its technology and those more interested in its gold, ximologists always have new avenues to explore. And with such a name, it is impossible to deny the influence that his thirty years of reign had on his time.
The lieutenants of the pirate warlord backed away from the hutts. Their leader had failed, what more could they do? Faced with the so-called War of Devouring, they had to give up part of their conquest. The Empire of Xim was divided into six independent states, and GenoHaradan went underground. For a thousand years, they remained focused on themselves. Until explorers from the Galactic Republic arrive, establishing the Perlemian Trade Route. An axis through which to move was simpler, faster. This awakened their pirate habits, triggering the Tionese War. Their raids led them to Coruscant. But they ended up losing. The Six Realms were overhauled and modernized, and turned into Republican territories that the Jedi could watch over. After all, thanks to the Perlemian Route, their main base in Ossus was not located so far from what is now called Tion's Hegemony. The emergence of the Sith threat has loosened the watch, forgetting that the Zionist nobility remembers the glorious days when Xim made them a galactic power.

Urticaria, more commonly known as hives, a red, itchy rash on the skin. In some cases, the rash appears in the mucous membranes such as the mouth and throat. The types of hives can be divided into those of chronic and acute ones. Acute urticaria is usually caused by allergic reactions and usually lasts as short as a few hours to no longer than a few weeks. Chronic urticaria is usually caused by vial infection as well as stress, illness, extreme heat and cold.
The causes of hives can include allergic reactions, stress, extreme temperature reactions and viral infections. One of the most common causes is allergic reaction to certain foods such as eggs, shellfish and nuts; or drugs like antibiotics, household dust and pollen. Allergic reactions causes chemicals such as histamine to be released from cells in the skin. This histamine, in turn, causes rashes to appear.
Certain foods can cause the release of chemicals such as histamine which induces itch. Examples are choline, fish and blue-skinned mackerel, horse mackerel, bonito, shellfish, crab, shrimp, pork, eggs, and chocolate. People prone to urticaria should be aware of the possible chemical presence of these ingredients before consumption.
There are times when taking a bath can cause skin irritation and rashes, either by using too much hot water, hot towels or rubbing skin too vigorously with towels. When the symptoms of hives appear, it's better to shower instead of taking a hot bath.
Hives may affect the gastrointestinal organs and cause related problems. Be mindful of your eating habits, especially snacking. By the same token, sufficient sleep is important, especially if you are prone to getting hives in the evening hours.
Hives can occur due to a variety of causes. If a certain cause is ascertained, prevention is indeed possible. But when you're in doubt of a cause, always consult a doctor. Obviously, if you know which food or medication gives you allergic reactions, limiting consumption or avoiding them altogether is the best way to avoid hives.
In general, oral medication with antihistamine is used to suppress the itch and rash of hives. In addition, external applications containing antihistamine will help to ease the itch and rash.


Discipleship is not a one boat endeavor. If a boat was big enough for all disciples, the monolithic size would make navigation problematic, getting stuck on sand bars a frequent occurrence, while keeping everyone confined in one place and it could possibly sink from the weight of having so many people on board. The boats of discipleship need to go in all directions of the compass, to reach out in the vast expanse and lower nets in various locales. Disciples must learn their job is not concluded with one voyage into the deep, come back to shore, disembark, clean the boat, wash the nets and go home to relax thinking they worked so hard and need to retire. For discipleship is not accomplished with the boat pulled up to a dock or beached on the shore, but when we allow our boat to untie from the dock or set sail on a rising tide and put out into the deep. The place where currents flow fast, winds blow and waves crest. Beyond the mundane of looking at the ocean to the astonishment of being on the water to see the vastness of the Divine realm. A place where we realize in humility the significance of our discipleship and impartation of effective grace to empower discipleship in such vastness to tread in waters not in vain. For in discipleship we toil while holding fast to the Word that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, He was buried, raised on the third day and appeared to many. For in belief we are being saved, purged of iniquities, a continually unfolding awareness of God's promise that build strength within us to live as disciples , so our ears are tuned to the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send?" Not a mandate of forcing us to go, but an invitation. If we respond affirmatively, we venture into the deep sometimes rowing our boat and if we are really cruisin' it feel like the boat has dual outboards at full throttle. Going as disciples we affirm our creed, seeing faith's relevance to challenging issues of poverty, racism, violence, environmental degradation. For in our discipleship we are not afraid, we give thanks to the Lord by manifesting His ways in our world by our presence and the work of our hands as we follow Him.

Disentangling the Effects of Corporate Disclosure on the Cost of Equity Capital: A Study of the Role of Intellectual Capital Disclosure.
Mangena, M., Li, J. and Tauringana, V., 2016. Disentangling the Effects of Corporate Disclosure on the Cost of Equity Capital: A Study of the Role of Intellectual Capital Disclosure. Journal of Accounting, Auditing & Finance, 31 (1), 3- 27.
In this article, we investigate whether intellectual capital (IC) and financial disclosures jointly affect the firm's cost of equity capital. In contrast to prior research, we disaggregate disclosures into IC and financial disclosures and examine whether the two disclosure types are jointly related to the cost of equity capital. We also investigate whether IC and financial disclosures have an interaction effect on the cost of equity capital. Using data for a sample of 125 U.K. firms, we find a negative relationship between the cost of equity capital and IC disclosure. We find that the relationship between financial disclosure and the cost of equity capital is magnified when combined with IC disclosure. In addition, we find that IC and financial disclosures interact in shaping their effects on the cost of equity capital. Further analyses suggest that the effect of financial disclosure on the cost of equity capital is augmented for firms characterized by a medium level of IC disclosure. These results provideimportant insights into the relationship between disclosures and cost of equity capital and have policy and practical implications.
