Do you either want to make your friends laugh or make them cry in horror? How would you like to do both at the same time? Follow these simple steps to do so. This is my second instructable and my first instructable that I put into a contest. If you like it please vote for me.
strips of newspaper or magazine 1" by 6"
After you lay down newspaper or something protective on your table( It gets really messy) and put plastic wrap on your mug put your balloon in place. Put a little masking tape on the back of the balloon and attach it to the mug. This will hold it in place for the next day or so. Then get 1 cup of flour and 2 cups of water ( For future reference it's one part flour to two parts water) and mix them together in a bowl. Mix it together until there are no lumps left.
Once you have your 1" by 6" strips simply dunk a strip in your mixture, wipe it off, and slap it on the balloon. Don't "literally" slap it; it might fall off. Try to keep the pattern as clean looking as possible to reduce bumps in the final product. We will be covering the whole entire balloon and then cutting out the mask later.
Once the second layer is dry you can either 1. start adding details reducing time but losing stability or 2. just add more layering taking more time but making the mask stronger. I went with option number 1. If you want to go with option number 2 just add 3 layers, start making details and then put 2 more layers. As you can see I started to add the nose, horns, and fangs. You could be a lot more detailed than me by adding a concave for the eyes and a more human like nose, lips, and eyebrows. After you finish ( which might take a while because you have to get creative with paper) start adding another layer.
After your second layer has been completely dry you can go with option 2 we talked about earlier and then come back here or if you chose option 1 then get your paste and slather it over your creation. Leave it out to dry and then if you think it's still bumpy do it again. Leave it to dry and then continue on to the next step.
This step is not needed but very helpful. Just get some white spray paint and cover over the whole thing. Wait for it to dry then take the bottom of the balloon and cut it. Make sure you have a good grip on the mask or it will smash into the ground and make a large dent. Cut the balloon out from the mold and then lay it down and think about what you've done.
Once the paint is dry draw the out line of your mask and cut it out. Once done get your paint ready and think about these two options. You can 1. Paint your mask and be awesome or 2. Hire a hobo to talk to you like your third-grade teacher, cry deeply, and drink yourself into a coma. It was a tough decision but I went with option 1. Think of the pattern you want try it out on the extra piece of mask you cut out. Paint the whole thing and let it dry.
Once you have the paint dried cut holes on the sides, cut a rubber band in half, and tie it onto the mask. Add the mustache and make him ten times creepier. I really hope you liked the instructable and I also hope you vote for me. Have an wizard day.
also, we never had this conversation.
Thanks. I'm kinda new here so I don't if a lot of people on here have a sense of humor and it helps knowing what to expect.


I've never lacked confidence and I felt sure that I had the knowledge, skill and work ethic to start my own business. What I didn't have was much cash behind me so I teamed up with an old colleague from my days at FG Trew's, Ken Jones. Together we had enough money to get our first business up and running – a plumbers merchant called Central Heating Services. Situated in Oxford Street, Swansea we opened our doors in 1984. I was lucky enough to have excellent contacts with plumbers who showed me great loyalty and helped get the business off to a great start. It was hard work but we made £100,000 in the first year and we were all delighted.
Unfortunately my partnership with Ken didn't work out as we had very different views on how a business should be run. Fortunately, with financial help from my parents, I was able to buy Ken out. Times were hard at first and I still remember my Mum giving up her time by coming in to help me with the books which gave me a solid foundation on which to build. I assembled a great team including a certain Mel Protheroe who still works for me today. Mel is in the photo above with a pen in his pocket; he now takes great delight in telling everyone at the call centre about some of my antics as a young businessman. One tale that often gets recalled was how on a Christmas night out in Swansea I disappeared from a pub, abandoned my shoes and somehow made it to the top of a lamppost!
In the end our hard work paid off and the business flourished, making me a millionaire in the process. Life was good! By 1988 I was ready to expand and with much fanfare opened a second depot in Cardiff. However, what I hadn't foreseen was the coming recession which by 1989 was starting to bite and was soon to change my life dramatically.
Like countless other businesses, the recession of 89 had an immediate impact on sales. I battled for a while to turn things around but increasing levels of debt were saddling the firm. Eventually it was the bank that put my company into receivership. This experience taught me countless lessons; one that I still carry with me today is to always keep a handle on your finances and don't rely on others to provide you with crucial information.
It was a shattering blow to see my hard work blown away and it led to two extremely difficult years. My marriage ended, I lost my home and I was left selling off personal assets to try and get things straight.
However, no matter how severe the trials and tribulations of my business life have been over the years, I have always had cause to remind myself of what is really important in life. A truly frightening time was when my eldest son, aged just seven, was kicked in the head by a horse in Dunvant. It was a serious injury that left him medically dead for a short while. Miraculously he survived and thanks to the care he received, made a full recovery. I often use this memory to put things into perspective when things in life seem bad.


I left the Seattle area for my first major Washington wine country – Yakima. It was a few hours away and it was decided I would take a short flight on Alaska Airlines so I could be there in time for the horseback riding tour. Katie Heaverlo, Director of Tourism for Yakima Valley, picked me up at the airport and we were quickly on our way between the mountains, following the Yakima River into the valley.
When I was first approached with staying in a teepee and going wine tasting by horseback, I wasn't sure if the PR agent was joking. I soon realized she was serious and agreed to give it a try. The teepee wasn't available for the night, but the horseback riding would work in the schedule.
I arrived at Cherry Wood Bed, Breakfast and Barn in Zillah to meet wrangler/owner Pepper Fewel and take a quick tour around the teepees (which are soon to have their own built in spa, under the support of the Ummelina brand) before meeting up with the tour group. It was to be all women, who were spending the weekend celebrating a bachelorette party for bride-to-be Meg, and we were all outfitted by Pepper in cowboy hats and boots.
Before I go any further, I need to make a full disclosure: I did not stay on the horse for very long. The idea was originally presented to me as a shorter tour with just a few minutes between wineries, but it turned out it was going to be a lot more. Had I been on vacation, I would have loved to join the bachelorette party for a day of riding (and carousing). I was instead "working," which consists of trying a lot of wines, taking a lot of notes, speaking with a lot of winery owners and, most important of all, being able to get up the next day and do it again!
I didn't say on the horse, but I did follow the path of the tour, which went through just a few of the valley's 70 plus wineries. The first stop was at Cultura where Tad and Sarah Fewell (Pepper's son and daughter-in-law) have created some wines worth remembering. This winery had two things against it as far as my personal preferences go. First, according to Sarah, they "run with what we do best – all reds, all the time." Second, they believe in a long oaking which translated to 31 months for all of their '08 wines. Despite this, I found two that I really enjoyed.
The 2007 Kairos, an equal blend of merlot and cabernet franc, was full of complex fruit and a cinnamon spice rather than picking up the wood. I also thought the 2007 Chronos (45% cabernet sauvignon, 45% cabernet franc and 10% merlot) was even fruitier, with just a hint of spice. In only their third season, I think the Fewells are getting it right, and the abundance of peach and apricot trees on the property are certainly helping (and the horses agreed).
After the bachelorette group and I enjoyed a chicken salad lunch, it was off to Silver Lake Winery where there was quite an impressive collection of wines, offering something for just about everyone. I was immediately intrigued by the Girly Girl Wines, a collection developed not just to attract women, but to help them, as a donation to help breast cancer is given with ever purchase. Not only are these wines charitable, but they are delicious. I absolutely loved the 2008 Girly Girl Pinot Gris, with tropical overtones, a bit of minerality and a lot of peach to go with the pineapple. The 2008 Girly Girl Chardonnay, an unoaked version, was also great, with the buttery vanilla taste of a chardonnay, while keeping the lemon zest you have when you don't keep it in wood. Another find at Silverlake was the 2008 Roza Rose, with lots of strawberry and red fruits in a semi-sweet wine. I have to say there wines – at under $20 – are well worth stocking up on.
The group then stopped at Agate Field Vineyard, a boutique winery that only produces estate wines. I could see how their 2006 La Moisson Red was a top seller, with cabernet sauvignon and franc, and the nose of fresh raspberry with some allspice on top. The 2007 Cabernet Franc, which was aged in only 30% new oak, was also very good.
We left the girls on the trail and headed over to Bonair. I was quite impressed with what looked like a European chateau. Shirley Puryear, who owns the winery with husband Gail, treated us like we were neighbors when we came in to see what she had and we were in for some shockers, starting with the 2008 Dry Gewurztraminer. Gewurztraminer isn't exactly a popular grape in Washington to begin with, but a dry one? I have to say that it didn't work for me. The light pineapple, peach and floral belongs in a sweeter wine. I did find some other wines here that left an impression. The Bung Dog Red, an inexpensive blend of five grapes, was fruity and light, and the Sunset Pink, a mix of Riesling and cabernet sauvignon, was a cross between a rose and a white zinfandel – very fruity, but not too sweet.
After a day of wine tasting, Katie and I settled in downtown Yakima at Santiago for a great tamale dinner before I retired at the Hilton Garden Inn down the block. I had yet another big day ahead of me, but it would get started right -- at the Ummelina Spa.

This week's Torah portion presents many rules pertaining to the Kohen (Jewish priest). Among these laws is the prohibition against any contact with the dead. Except for his closest family members, the Kohen cannot touch a dead corpse, be present at burial or even be in the same room as a dead body. What is the rationale of this prohibition and what is its relationship to the Kehuna (priesthood)?
Perhaps the reasoning of this law lies with an understanding of the difference between the ultimate goal of life itself. Some faith communities see the ultimate goal of existence the arrival in the life hereafter. Some Christians, for example, insists that redemption is dependent upon the belief that Jesus died for one's sins. In some strains of Islam, martyrdom is revered, as only through death can one reach the ultimate world.
The Torah, on the other hand, is fundamentally a system that accentuates commitment to God, in this world—the world of the living. While Judaism does believe that the hereafter is of important status, it takes a back seat to this world. As the Psalmist states, "I shall not die but live and proclaim the works of the Lord" (Psalms 118:17), and "The dead cannot praise the Lord…but we (the living) will bless the Lord now and forever" (Psalms 115:17-18).
To teach this point, the Kohen, the teacher par excellence is mandated not to have any contact with the dead. This is a way of imparting the concept that the ultimate sanctification of God is not through death but through life.
My dear friend and teacher, Rabbi Saul Berman, has suggested another approach. It was the priest of old who was often called on to intercede on behalf of the deceased. In ancient times, families hoped that through such intercession, the dead person would receive a better place in the life hereafter. In such situations, the priest may have been tempted to, and sometimes did, take payoffs for intervening.
It is then understandable that the Torah insists that the Kohen have no contact whatsoever with the deceased. This would make it impossible for him to take advantage of people, particularly when they are going through a deep loss, when they are most vulnerable.
Today, the community, whether justified or not, sees the rabbi as the primary intermediary between God and humanity. Although most rabbis are not Kohanim (descendants of priests), I have the great honor of being both a rabbi and a Kohen. Due to my status as a Kohen, it has not always been easy for me to fulfill my role as the rabbi. Due to this limited ability to become involved in the bereavement process, I have gained a unique perspective toward death and mourning. The requirement to not fully engage has taught me that although in their time of most intense grief mourners need the support of family, friends and rabbis, there is such a thing as over involvement. No one fully understands the mystery of death, and no one can solve this age old question for a mourner as s/he sits beside her or his deceased loved one.
Only God knows these answers. Although they must stand as a support and comfort, no rabbi nor priest can serve as a buffer or intermediary between the intense dialogue between a grief stricken mourner and the Almighty One at the deepest moment of loneliness, the moment of loss.

For the week ending 19 May 2018 / 5 Sivan 5778
The Holy Writ
by Rabbi Yirmiyahu Ullman - www.rabbiullman.com
From: Vicky
Dear Rabbi,
As we approach the holiday of Shavuot commemorating the receiving of the Torah, would you please explain how and when the first Torah scroll was actually written?
Dear Vicky,
The Talmudic Sages actually differ about this point.
According to one opinion the Torah was written on separate parchments in separate installments throughout the sojourn in the wilderness. These segments were then assembled at the end of the forty years, before crossing into the Land of Israel.
Accordingly, immediately after Sinai, G-d dictated to Moses the entire book of Genesis, and the book of Exodus until the portion of Yitro that recounts the giving of the Torah. As further events occurred and further precepts were given, G-d dictated to Moses how to record these events and precepts in additional parchments. The book of Deuteronomy was dictated as a type of summary at the end of the fortieth year.
The other view expressed by the Sages is that the entire Torah was dictated by G-d to Moses at one time, and not in installments of separate scrolls. Accordingly, the Torah was written at the end of the fortieth year in the wilderness, just prior to the death of Moses.
In fact, the concluding eight verses of the Torah which describe the death of Moses raise an additional difference of opinions as to who actually wrote these final verses.
The Talmud states (Bava Batra 15), "'And Moses the servant of the L-rd died there'. Can it be that while Moses was still alive he could have written, 'And Moses died there'? Rather, until these verses describing his death, Moses wrote. From here on, after the death of Moses, Joshua wrote. Rabbi Shimon said, 'Is it possible that the Torah should be lacking a single letter (i.e., Is it possible that Moses did not write the entire Torah?). Rather, we must conclude that until the account of Moses' death, G-d dictated and Moses wrote. From here on, G-d dictated and Moses wrote with tears."
One explanation of the above is that because of the truth of the Torah, Moses could not have formally written about his death in the Torah: In order to write he'd have to be alive, and could not write that he died. Conversely, if he wrote about his death, he would necessarily die. Thus, the first opinion concludes that Joshua wrote these last eight verses. However, since this negates the integrity of the Torah, the second opinion posits that Moses actually wrote the entire Torah to the very end, including his death. But these last eight verses were informally stenciled by Moses using the tears he shed over his death. Joshua then later filled in the tear-stenciled verses with proper ink. In this way, Joshua literally filled the void left by Moses' death and continued the story where Moses left off.
The Gaon of Vilna, however, offers another explanation. He notes that the Hebrew term used in the Talmud for Moses' concluding the final eight verses of the Torah in tears is dema. He writes that deema also connotes something that is mixed. Thus, he explains that when the Talmud states that Moses concluded the Torah with dema, this means that the concluding letters, words and verses of the Torah were written without interrupting spaces. In this way, the concluding section of the Torah describing Moses' death was dictated to him by G-d in a cryptic way, where many possible "readings" of the text were mixed together in various letter combinations. Therefore, the final words, "And Moses died there," were not explicitly apparent in the Torah that Moses wrote. Rather, these words emerged from the mixture of possible readings only as a result of the "space" left by his death.

CIO… the Mountain West Conference
Posted by AMurawa on January 23rd, 2013
Andrew Murawa is the RTC correspondent for the Mountain West Conference.
Conference Round-up
Nine teams, six in the hunt for an NCAA Tournament invitation, four with a good claim on a Top 25 spot — It is safe to say that the Mountain West, while maybe not having the elite teams that the Big Ten does, is the most competitive conference in the country from top to bottom. We've had three overtime games in two weeks and another five games decided by single figures. And, just when you're ready to count out one team (like for instance, Air Force following a 39-point loss at Colorado State), they bounce back and score a big win (like those Falcons did against Boise State over the weekend). Conversely, we've seen a team like UNLV score a major road win over their biggest rival, San Diego State, then come back and struggle on the road. While the road environments in this conference are brutal, so far we've seen road teams have good success (road teams have won six of the 16 conference games played), such that it is looking like specific match-ups and timing may have as big of an impact on the outcomes of games as venue does. Two weeks in, everybody in the conference has at least one win and everybody, save for conference-leading New Mexico, has at least one loss. In other words, buckle up, because it is going to be a wild ride, and in all likelihood, this conference is not going to be settled until the final week of the regular season.
Reader's Take
Colorado State – After taking intra-state rival Air Force out behind the woodshed on Wednesday, the Rams welcomed UNLV into Moby Arena on Saturday for the headlining MW game of the weekend. Despite Colton Iverson's offensive struggles and Wes Eikmeier's foul trouble, CSU rode Dorian Green's offensive explosion (24 points, including four threes, along with five assists and five boards) to its second straight win over the Rebels. The Rams hit 10 straight free throws in the final four minutes of the game and held UNLV to just two points on six possessions to turn a two-point deficit into a five-point win.
With Colton Iverson Struggling And Wes Eikmeier In Foul Trouble, Dorian Green Had His Best Game Of The Year (Dawn Madura/The Coloradoan)
Anthony Marshall, Senior, UNLV – While Air Force's Michael Lyons had the game of the week in the conference (37 ridiculously efficient points against Boise on Saturday), Marshall was the most consistent performer this week, averaging 20.5 points, four assists, seven rebounds and two steals while willing his Rebels to a road win at San Diego State. After the Rebels went more than five minutes without scoring, and in the process turned a nine-point lead into a three-point deficit, Marshall took over, scoring nine of the next 13 Rebels points and getting the lead back. Marshall followed that game up with an equally impressive effort against CSU, scoring 15 second half points in trying to earn his Rebels a secondstraight conference road win.

Posted by AMurawa on December 18th, 2012
Much like everywhere else around the country, it was an exceedingly slow week in the Mountain West. Between last Tuesday and last night, just 10 games were played involving MW teams. Two teams in the conference haven't played a game since we last did this. And, with the exception of the two games played by Fresno State, the MW teams have escaped unblemished against largely mediocre teams. As a result, your weekly MW rundown may be a little lighter than normal.
But the big news around the conference may be the ripples from the Big East breakdown that are reaching the Mountain West's shores. While for now, San Diego State and Boise State are maintaining their intentions to follow through on their plans to join the Big East beginning next season, you just know that behind the scenes, both schools are seriously weighing their options. As the MW Connection details here, there are basically three options for these two schools: (1) head to the Big East as planned, regardless of the diminishing state of the conference, for football, with the rest of their sports in the Big West; (2) remain in the Mountain West and possibly bring other schools with them; or (3) go independent in football and keep other sports in the Big West. Obviously, the people involved in making these decisions know a lot more about the financials of these decisions than me, but for what it's worth, while the Big East is in the middle of negotiating a new television contract, the MW remains locked into its current contract with CBS through 2016, and the network has an additional option to extend that contract to 2019. Of greater concern to the MW than whether they are able to keep BSU and SDSU around may be whether they are able to fend off advances from other conferences. For instance, the Big East, which may in the interest of self-preservation and establishing a western outpost to satiate the likes of BSU, SDSU, SMU and Houston, take a shot at teams from the conference. There may not be a lot of fat on the football bones of the teams remaining here, but if the Big East can poach, say, UNLV, New Mexico and Colorado State they will (aside from really needing a re-branding) be able to cobble together a strong basketball conference. But, who am I kidding? Up until this week, basketball was rarely mentioned in this whole realignment fiasco, except to note that basketball doesn't matter.
Nevada – Yay! Home wins over Cal Poly and San Francisco! Rejoice! OK, so those wins aren't suddenly going to turn the Wolf Pack into an NCAA Tournament contender, but given that this is a team with losses to UC Irvine, Marshall, Drake and Pacific on its record, not to mention several other near-misses, the fact that Nevada handled that level of competition by an average of double-figures is a sign of progress. As is the fact that they finally showed some semblance of aggressiveness on the glass, grabbing nearly 40% of offensive rebound opportunities this week, and better than 80% on the defensive end. Jerry Evans was particularly effective, grabbing 14 total rebounds against Cal Poly.

Checking in on… the WAC
Posted by Brian Goodman on February 17th, 2011
Sam Wasson, Co-Founder and Editor of bleedCrimson.net covering New Mexico State athletics, and Kevin McCarthy, Founder of Parsing The WAC, are the RTC correspondents for the WAC.
It took the Aggies two tries, but Utah State clinched a share of their fourth consecutive regular season title this past week. Idaho smothered the UtAgs in Moscow, 64-56, holding Utah State to just 33.8 percent shooting to delay the inevitable for one more game. Idaho head coach Don Verlin, a former long-time Stew Morrill assistant, pulled out the "box and one" defense because he said he knew there was nothing in the USU playbook to counter it. Bravo Don Verlin. Bravo. USU clinched three nights later back at home with a 71-55 romp in Logan over Fresno State. Elsewhere, New Mexico State escaped potential disaster in Ruston. With losses by Idaho (at Boise State, 69-63) and Nevada (at Hawai'i, 69-67 OT), New Mexico State now sits alone in second place. The race for the all-important top four spots now has a new participant in the form of Hawai'i. UH's win over Nevada, coupled with the aforementioned loss by Idaho, means there is just a two-game separation between third place and sixth in the conference standings.
Player of the Week: Nevada's Malik Story was named the Player of the Week for February 7–13 as he scored a career-high 29 points to lead Nevada to just its second road win of the season in an 84-76 overtime win at San Jose State. He made 11 of 21 (52 percent) shots from the field, including three three-pointers. He also made four of five free throws and dished out a career-high six assists to go along with four rebounds and two steals.
1. Utah State (23-3, 12-1)
Up Next: 02/16 vs. Montana Western, 02/19 at St. Mary's (ESPN2)
Champs. For the fourth consecutive season the Utah State Aggies have laid claim to the WAC's regular season title. After having their WAC record 25-game regular season win streak halted at Idaho, the UtAgs bounced back with a 71-55 thumping of Fresno State. The Aggies take a break from conference play this week and host Montana Western and then travel to Moraga, Calif. to take on St. Mary's in the marquee matchup of the ESPNU Bracketbusters event.
2. New Mexico State (14-12, 8-4)
Up Next: 02/19 vs. Northern Colorado, 02/23 at San Jose State
Playing without top point scorer Troy Gillenwater (out with ankle injury) the Aggies survived at Louisiana Tech overcoming a sluggish 1-10 shooting start to eek out a one-point victory over the Bulldogs. The win keeps New Mexico State in second place in the standings as they head into the homestretch. The Aggies have five tough games ahead of them to finish out the regular season as they'll host Northern Colorado for Bracketbusters and then head out on the road to San Jose and Hawai'i. Their largest margin of victory against either team on the road since joining the WAC has been just 11 points.
3. Nevada (10-15, 7-5)
Up Next: 02/19 vs. UC-Irvine
The Wolf Pack took to the road on the grueling San Jose/Honolulu trip and went to overtime in both games. The Pack were fortunate to come away with the split as the Spartans led 72-68 with 20 seconds left and 72-70 with possession of the ball with six seconds left. However, freshman point guard Deonte Burton came away with a steal and despite a missed layup by Jerry Evans Jr., Olek Czyz grabbed the offensive rebound and was fouled by SJSU's Adrian Oliver. Czyz nailed both free throws to send it into overtime where the Wolf Pack prevailed 84-76. Nevada was not so fortunate two nights later as they found themselves on the wrong end of an overtime loss falling 69-67 to Hawai'i. The loss dropped them a game behind New Mexico State for second place in the standings. Nevada visits Las Cruces during the final week of the season, where that secnd place seed could be on the line. Up next, the Wolf Pack host UC-Irvine for Bracketbusters.
4. Boise State (14-11, 7-6)
Up Next: 02/19 at UC-Santa Barbara
A pair of victories last week by the Broncos has righted the ship for now. Boise State took down Fresno State and then notched an all-important win over in-state rival Idaho to sweep the season series and give them the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Vandals. The game was televised on ESPNU and over 12,000 fans were in attendance, the largest crowd at Taco Bell Arena in several seasons. Remarkably, the two-game win streak comes on the heels of a demoralizing 77-49 loss at Utah State. Boise State shot a near-perfect 19-21 from the free throw line and a perfect 9-9 in the second half, including six in the final 90 seconds, to seal the win. The Broncos travel to Santa Barbara to take on UCSB for Bracketbusters.
5. Idaho (14-11, 7-6)
Up Next: 02/19 at Montana State
It was another split, as the Vandals experienced the highest of highs (knocking off a ranked team) and the lowest of lows (losing to an in-state rival) last week. Utah State came into the Kibbie Dome and left with their first regular season conference loss in the past 26 games. Idaho held Utah State to their lowest shooting percentage of the season, 33 percent. Unfortunately, the euphoria did not last long, as they traveled south to Boise to take on their in-state rivals Boise State. Idaho jumped out to a five-point lead seven minutes into the game and led by five points with 8:46 left to play, but could not hold on. The loss puts their record at 7-6 and currently in fifth place in the standings due to losing the head-to-head series with Boise State. Up next for Idaho is a date in Bozeman with Montana State for Bracketbusters.
6. Hawai'i (14-10, 5-7)
Up Next: 02/14 vs. Nevada
Heal thyself. That's been the UH basketball mantra during an off week what with Hiram Thompson receiving stitches after the last game and Zane Johnson shaking off concussion-like symptoms. The Rainbow Warriors faced Nevada on Monday night and a little T and R did the job to the tune of a 69-67 overtime victory. Senior forward Bill Amis contributed 16 points, 13 rebounds and six blocked shots. Junior center Vander Joaquim came close to a double-double with 24 points and nine boards. This after an earlier matchup in Reno between these two teams resulted in an 86-69 Hawaii loss. The win, however, did not come without a price as starting point guard Hiram Thompson landed awkwardly on his arm and could have ligament damage that could end his season. Next up is a trip to the mainland to face UC-Davis of the Big West Conference in a Brackerbusters contest.
7. Fresno State (11-14, 5-8)
Up Next: 02/16 at Cal State-Bakersfield, 02/19 vs. UC-Riverside
Remember when Rulon Gardner beat Alexander Karelin in 2000 for the Olympic gold medal in Greco-Roman wrestling? This after Karelin had been undefeated for 12 years. Fresno State must have felt like Karelin's next opponent did, because the Bulldogs had the unenviable task of facing Utah State after Stew Morrill's squad had just lost to Idaho. The final score; 71-55, in a game not as close as the final score indicates. This was preceded by a 75-61 defeat in Boise. In the loss in Logan, center Greg Smith produced two points and three boards in 30 minutes of play and the team shot 4-20 from long distance. A possible pro, a 'big' at that, is a terrible thing to waste. A return match at nearby Cal State-Bakersfield followed by a meeting with UC-Riverside in a Bracketbusters matchup are next in line for the Bulldogs. The opportunity to reverse fortunes, at least in out-of-league action, is there for the taking.
8. San Jose State (12-12, 3-9)
Up Next: 02/18 vs. Weber State
The Spartans have OD'd on Nevada, losing to the Wolf Pack on each of the last two Saturdays. The first was an 89-69 defeat in Reno as the Wolf Pack literally shot out to a double-digit lead and maintained it throughout the game. The rematch in San Jose proved to be an overtime one but yet another loss for SJSU 84-76. In the latter, San Jose State had a four point lead in regulation with 24 seconds to play but Nevada managed to tie the score. The Spartans took care of Montana State on Tuesday night winning 77-73 as Adrian Oliver notched his second straight 30-plus point game to go along with ten rebounds for a double-double. Weber State comes to town for a Bracketbusters pairing.
9. Louisiana Tech (11-13, 2-10)
Up Next: 02/16 at North Dakota, 02/19 vs. Georgia State
The Bulldogs nearly pulled up the upset of second place New Mexico State but a pair of late free throws put them behind 50-49 and a last second desperation three from DeAndre Brown clanked off the rim. The Bulldogs held an 11-point lead midway through the first half but could not hold on to the lead. The loss keeps them in the WAC basement where it looks like they'll be battling with San Jose State for the final spot in the WAC tournament the rest of the season. This week it's a pair of non-conference games including a home date with Georgia State for Bracketbusters.
It's all non-conference this weekend as the WAC participates in Bracketbusters. Utah State heads to Moraga, California, to take on St. Mary's in the the WAC's only televised Bracketbusters game.

Ode to the Hyperlink | Sam Debatin | Sun 23 Oct 2022 11:27:02 PM EDT
I've had a hard time using the internet recently. Not in a my-aging-relatives kind of way, but just literally engaging with it at all. In a not-so-hot take, I have chalked this up to some kind of online-related attention deficit disorder. More specifically, it's what I think we can all understand as a changing metaphorical language of the internet.
Reddit claims to be the front page of the internet. Google is the 'homepage' for many users. Apps like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and Tiktok all use the infrastructure of the internet, but in some ways hide their connection with the system. Increasingly, our experience with the internet is mediated by metaphors that obscure its very nature — disordered, rhizomic, and unhierarchical. Our experience of the internet has had a strong order imposed on it. Increasingly, apps maintain their hierarchy by opening links in a sandboxed browser. The very notion of the app strips the internet of its equalizing potential. An app denies the interconnectivity of the internet through its schematic and its interface. Apps can communicate with each other, but only through very specific methods mediated by the phone UI itself -- even simply opening a pdf from an email on an iPhone is a bizarre charade of "sharing" to other apps.
Browser based interaction with the internet, on the other hand, allowed at least for some kind of parallelism, through tabs, through hyperlinks and windows and tiling. And yet, no browser has made significant progress in terms of UI in over a decade. We are still using the same tab format, the same parallel structures. And these are beautiful structures, but they are underdeveloped. In terms of connectivity, we've actually moved away from an equalizing structure.
The infrastructure of the internet is not immaterial, and therefore requires physical and economic resources to continue running. Reliable server space is not cheap, and our tolerance for ads, cookies, and data collection has been collectively obliterated by the ever increasing need to pay the technological cost of a growing and necessary system. All this precludes a system of organization that would consider Instagram to be as valid of an online space as your uncle's web 2.0 page, or an obscure Wikipedia article about the culinary uses of quail eggs. We assert that each of these items exist in their own space, disconnected from the other, and at times lesser -- less official, less well crafted, less reputable.
User interface has a lot to do with this. Web 2.0 has allowed for more advanced, more 'self-contained' looking web pages. Banners, titles, side bars all create the illusion of a world contained within itself. Hyperlinks rarely redirect outside of their own domain, and on the occasion they do you are presented with dire warnings, scaring users into thinking that they will become victim of a hacking scheme when leaving the New York Times homepage for an external article from the Atlantic. While security concerns can be and often are legitimate, websites also have an economic motive to keep users on their site, driving up ad revenue and increasing time spent browsing. By billing themselves as a front page, an authority, they can increase user trust and increase user engagement.
News sites are especially subject to this — just look at the way Vice, the New York Times, and the Washington Post all have slick, mobile-reminiscent interfaces. Facebook and Reddit, two predominantly browser-based web sites, have also recently converted their interfaces to more 'modern', app-like structures. This comes with a simplification of interface, replacing links with buttons, indexes with sidebars and headers. By changing the metaphors, they are in effect changing our mode of interaction. A button implies an action that is self referential, something that takes an input and plugs this input into itself to return a function. A button is a way of shutting oneself off from the rest of the world, excluding the rest of the internet. A button screams 'interact with ME, and only ME.' The hyperlink, once lauded as a exquisite metaphor for the elasticity and interconnectedness of the internet, has all but disappeared. This format came with its own problems, most dramatically the ability to mark 'places' that you've already been, but it at least implied a sort of level playing field. Plain text hyperlinks looked pretty much the same everywhere, discounting the occasional image or homepage link. Thus, even the formerly slightly-freer world of the browser has fallen victim to the same app-ification that our mobile devices have experienced for over a decade now.
We are collectively losing the sense that the internet is an infrastructure meant for everyone. We can all post content on social media, yes, but it is always mediated through a corporate medium. We lose the interconnectedness that the internet once promised, the ability to explore vast depths of collected human knowledge, the potential to stumble across something truly hidden or unexplored, a website created by someone just for fun, just to tell a story in a creative way. Instagram has all but banned links to outside content — 'link in bio' is the only way of connecting users to the outside world. Apps like to pretend that they are their own one and only, that they are independent of the influence of others. Style guides for apps exist for a reason, and there is certainly an argument for usability and accessibility in computing, but this comes with a price.
Of course, it's unrealistic to expect everyone to understand their computer from the ground up, or that in order to use the internet at all would require a great deal of programming knowledge (although more on the idea of skill in a later post). In fact, there might even be argument that technology like computers is so alienating from their material grounding that they can never be used responsibly (but that's another article). But short of this, I believe there is a way that we could be designing interfaces that would encourage at least some questioning of the processes at play. An interface that is too slick, too all consuming doesn't allow for such questions. Screens are already known to be psychologically manipulative, but perhaps if our digital landscape weren't so homogenous, we might have a better chance at reclaiming our dopamine receptors from the borg.

From darkroom to Lightroom, my passion is still for monochrome images.
Extensive travelling over the past twenty years has provided me with a wide range of subject matter for my graphic and 'fine art' approach to photography. People, architectural details, landscapes, botanical subjects, and abstracts are all wonderful sources for stand-alone images or small panels of work.
For me the print is everything. The journey from initial conception of a photographic project to the finished image can take twelve months or more, and the final realisation of images for printing and exhibition is the logical conclusion to that journey.
My work has featured in periodicals including National Geographic Traveller and Black and White Photography, and has also appeared in a number of exhibitions, both joint and solo, venues including the Mall Galleries, London and RPS headquarters in Bath.
I am active on the club circuit with presentations and judging, mostly with my wife, Sue O'Connell, fellow Fotospeed photographer.

Split Sequence

Ancient Call
sidewalk cracks
of an old love song
skeleton leaves
the emptiness
of the hawk's cry

going nowhere
hollow nest
no one waits to hear
my footsteps

Know that this CBD Oil in Mount Holly, Arkansas is made up of low-THC hemp, high-CBD, whereas medical marijuana products tend to be constructed from plants who have high psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentrations. Since hemp only contains trace quantities of THC, these are non-psychoactive hemp oil products in Mount Holly, Union, AR.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is among over 85 cannabinoids that were found to become contained inside the cannabis plant and it has the next highest volume of cannabinoid in marijuana following THC. However, in hemp, THC is present only in trace amounts, with CBD dominating the makeup of your plant. CBD is non-psychotropic and doesn't produce a high. It interacts using the body's naturally sourced systems. Which make it a less controversial plus a safer option, while still providing significant benefits to residents In Mount Holly, Union.
Why Should Cannabidiol CBD Oil Supplements Be Utilized In Mount Holly Union, AR?
In recent times CBD has emerged being a compound that his highly preferred. After receiving a great deal of media exposure, including the CNN special called "Weed" by Sanjay Gupta, it has taken over natural products industry. Since that time, CBD oil products have demostrated up in grocery stores in Mount Holly, Arkansas, medical marijuana dispensaries and doctor's offices. No medical card is necessary to buy it.
How CBD interacts with our body is via the endocannabinoid system or endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS). The endocannabinoid system was discovered in the late 1980's regulates the homeostasis of the body, or general balance state, which impacts functions for example immune response, pain, hormone regulation, appetite, sleep and mood. The same as an acrobat on a high wire, our surrounding environment impacts our regular balance. This really is corrected through the endocannabinoid system by mediating the body's reaction so as to keep things level.
The endocannabinoid system is located in all mammals and includes an incredible number of various cannabinoid receptor sites which can be primarily found through the defense mechanisms (the CB2 receptors), nervous system (the CB1 receptors) and brain that act throughout the neural communication.
The endocannabinoid system, however, doesn't rely only on phytocannabinoids or plant-based cannabinoids. Your body will make its unique cannabinoids. 2-AG and Anandamide, which function inside a similar approach to CBD, are the endocannabinoids of the body, that happen to be created as a way to control communication in the middle cells, to mediate the functions of your body.
The endocannabinoid system from Mount Holly, Arkansas clearly is probably the human body's most important regulatory systems. However, most individual neglect to do much to support the healthy in the system due to cannabinoids not within the average diet.
The non-psychoactive of cannabis and naturally low-THC hemp plant, grows in a number of countries all over the world then gets imported into the United states for use in foods, supplements, building materials and textiles.
There are thousands of different unique hemp varieties in Mount Holly, Arkansas. The cultivars are utilized for CBD oil contain higher concentrations of CBD when compared with others. By using these unique and potent plants, it makes extracting cannabis oil possible that contains significant cannabidiol levels, along with other non-psychoactive cannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, essential fatty acids, minerals and essential vitamins.
In the last decade or more, there has been over 23,000 studies published by peer-reviewed medical journals that detail the consequences of cannabinoids, cannabis oil and cannabis on the body.
With scientists, legislators, families have become more aware of potential of hemp CBD oil and cannabidiol, offers the supplement marketplace using a game-changing solution, which gives all of the benefits that CBD has, without the high that marijuana offers, that are counted on by a huge number of individuals every day.
CBD Oil is a type of natural botanical extract that is derived from the normal hemp plant. This part is obvious and straightforward.
However, as a result of Usa regulatory limitations that relate with processing and growing hemp, the method for delivering CBD hemp oil products to some customer's doorstep in Mount Holly, Arkansas gets more complex.
Inside the U.S. it really is prohibited to cultivate hemp for commercial purposes, even with the 2014 Farm Bill was passed. Approved top reasons to growing hemp is limited to pilot programs for the purpose of research needs. Although hemp corps have now been planted such states as Minnesota, West Virginia and Kentucky for the first time during the last half century. So Usa hemp cultivation carries a long best option before it can meet current domestic demand.
That is why all of those finished hemp goods you see that are offered for sale in the United states, from material materials, to clothing and food products, that are are part of the imported hemp industry has recently surpassed $500 million annually. The size of the key industry for this particular is probably the main catalysts for that legalization for hemp in the states. Hemp is actually a renewable source for a variety of products, and offers a fantastic new phase for American agriculture.
So the hemp that is used for making our prime CBD products that are available to everyone interested in Mount Holly, Arkansas, especially in Arkansas inside the U.S. in cultivated in numerous countries worldwide. For this reason the hemp that is used in our CBD oil products arises from farms in Europe. And only any hemp crop can be used – specific hemp plant cultivars from the hemp plant are needed for yielding an added which is sufficient for CBD Oil.

Q: Trouble with GLMM in R: Error in gamma(link = "identity") : supplied argument name 'link' does not match 'x' I am trying to fit a GLMM to my dataset and am having trouble finding a good family and link. My response variable is continuous, positive, and skewed to the left (see image).
I thought that gamma would be the best family. However, I've tried inverse, identity, and log as links, but for each of them, I am getting the error message below. Does anyone know what this means? My code is also below. I'm wondering if gamma is not the right family to be using?
Thanks in advance!
glmer(Cortisol.Metabolites ~ Time.Point+New.Time.Frame+Time.Point*New.Time.Frame+(1|Individual), data=data, family = gamma(link="identity"))
Error in gamma(link = "identity") : supplied argument name 'link' does not match 'x'

La Trobe Uni starts Windows 7 move
La Trobe University has begun upgrading its staff desktops and student computer labs from Windows XP to Windows 7.
Written by Josh Mehlman, Contributor on Dec. 8, 2009
The Melbourne-based university hopes the new operating system and associated technologies will help simplify IT management processes, gain economies of scale, make support easier, reduce overall energy consumption and limit student opportunities to gain unauthorised access to systems.
"We've used this as an opportunity to completely change the way we deploy desktops," said David Hird, the university's chief technology officer.
The university already has 250 desktops running the new operating system, out of a total fleet of 6500 — roughly half for staff use and the rest in computer labs.
Having taken over responsibility for computing resources from IT offices in individual faculties, Hird now hopes to use Microsoft's management tools and a standard operating environment across the university.
"We're going to be using System Center Configuration Manager 2007 for deploying the desktops and applications," he said.
"We'll be using Active Directory with Group Policies to manage those machines better than we can with Windows XP. All of the settings will be standardised across the university, instead of each area doing its own thing. This will make support much easier.
"We can also get rid of log-on scripts. We'll be using Group Policy Preferences to assign shared drives and printers. There's a lot less programming involved."
Hird also expects Group Policies will help reduce IT equipment energy consumption.
"We can set screen time-outs and shut-down times, there's a lot more control over that," he said. "We take green IT very, very seriously, so we're trying to do as much as we can in that area."
Security is another big concern for the university, as students have been known to use computer labs as a base for hacking into university systems or computers outside the network.
"The AppLocker facility ensures students can't run any applications that we don't specifically allow," said Hird. "We can lock down those boxes a lot better than we have in the past. If students can only run officially approved applications, that will also make management easier and reduce our network traffic."
Hird has found "surprisingly few" compatibility issues.
"A few older peripherals have caused problems, mostly ancient printers and scanners that people like to hang off their machines, but they probably shouldn't be using those," he said. "We've been pleasantly surprised by how few problems we've had."
La Trobe should have around 700 machines running Windows 7 by the start of the academic year, according to Julia McKenzie, head of service delivery.
The university will then roll out all new PCs with a Windows 7 standard operating environment. It expects to have the majority of systems running the new operating system within two years.
"We also tend to upgrade them when users ask and a lot of people have been asking for it," said Hird.

They are just scribbling on paper sometimes..
Sometimes they are neatly typed..
They are like a breeze in summer time..
I write when I feel like..
I will never be sure when inspiration will visit me!
My words are not that awesome..
They will not make you fall in love..
My words are not revolutionary..
They will not make you change the world..
My words are not healing..
They will not bring peace to you..
But my words are definitely honest..
They are a part of me..
And when you read them sweetheart..
I will be part of thee!
Why does it feel like the end now???
It was supposed to be laughter and sunshine..
Why is my pillow moist with tears now???
It was supposed to be fulfilled promises..
Why they are lying broken now???
Why it seems there will be no more hello now???
Kitna khubsurat lag raha hai chaand..
Kitna akela lag raha hai chaand..
Use Sabudane sa lag raha hai chaand..
Coz you are not here anymore..
There was one day when you were so near, near like a heart beat..
You could listen to the silence in my voice..
You could see the sadness in my laughter..
You could feel the love in my heart..
Now you have gone far..so far away..
You can't listen to the sadness in my voice..
You can't see tears rolling down my cheeks..
You can't feel the sighs of my heart..
Why O Why We had to be apart???
Dusk & Dawn are two beautiful moments of the day..
The sky is not completely dark nor completely lit up..
It is somewhere in between..still it is not same everyday..
There are so many different hues to it..
Its pink sometimes, sometimes its orange..
sometimes it is soothing blue as if holding water in its arms!
Fruits of the Freedom now we Savour!
65 years of continuous Progression!!
Be Humble & grateful & pay our Tribute!!!
Darkness engulfed her, There was no hope of light..
Days passed, then months, then years, But nothing seemed to be right.
Seasons change they say, And night turns into day..
Autumn turned into spring, And sun was shining on the hay.
She turned towards the sun, And it glowed on her face..
She soaked the brightness, There was no hurry, no race.
Gleaming with happiness, Brimming with Joy..
Astounded by the change, She felt a bit coy.
Scared she was, for seasons would change..
Sun promised not to leave & turned a bit orange.
Both were happy, Both comforted..
They would be together & not deserted.
Little did they knew of the looming eclipse..
For her it was doom, an apocalyse.
Interesting conversations sometimes, sometimes you just croaked like a toad..
The greens smiled with us, The blues just envied..
I would play pranks while you got livid..
The rain showers drenched us but your love drenched me more..
Seeing you with some one else was just an eye sore..
Every moment spent with you was Utopia..
Now I am left with just nostalgia!
I dreamed a dream a beautiful dream..
Life was then just peaches & cream..
It left me one day for far away land..
I thought I would be sad & blue..
Where once sweet nothings tingled..
Kohl filled eyes hid the sadness of the byes..
Lip Gloss shined leaving the memories of wet kisses behind..
Who missed the warm hug?
She had this jacket cosy & snug..
She had fancy boots where once there was sand..
She was a Material Girl..
She was really a Lonely Girl!
The waiting for your call?
The time when I had a fall?
Stolen moments to be with each other?
Being Interrupted by my mother?
The walk in the light of moon?
The walk in the blazing noon?


You are here: Home / Blog / Consultancy / What is distribution team management?
The dynamic distribution planning and optimization is to create the shortest or least-cost route between a certain number of points passing only once from each.
Poorly planned and unbalanced distribution may increase the operational costs too much. The distribution activities must be organized regularly according to changing circumstances at least possible cost.
Geovision Group defines the proper service level for each customer by analyzing dispatch workflow and procedures.
Order based dimension and restriction planning is one of the other important issues for distribution team management. Working with one of the biggest global beverage brands since 2010, we manage to plan daily sales and distribution operations in one of the most complex markets. As a result of the brand's success in Turkey, we've expanded our operation to 11 countries achieving 30% optimization in overall sales and distribution operation.

How Sacto Is Like Cairo: Why Difi Rivals Are Doomed
One of the inherent strengths of local news operations, way too rarely exercised (see: newspapers, death of) is the daily opportunity to report how and why big global events matter to readers and viewers on the home front.
Tom Meyer, the blogosphere's incarnation of Thomas Nast, ofers a bit of this type of journalistic service with his latest take today, showing how the dramatic events in Egypt are a kind of real time Rorschach test which provide folks all along the political spectrum a chance to indulge in reassuring themselves, and insisting to others, that they've been right, right, right all along.
Underscoring the point, Frank Rich, the Pauline Kael of American politics, batted out a stinging indictment of the MSM this week, for its incessant braying of the clichéd claim that the crucial post hoc ergo propter hoc about the Egyptian populist revolt, which people there foolishly think is about their nation's authoritarianism, economy and political corruption, is the role played in the events by…Twitter.
"Let's get a reality check here," said Jim Clancy, a CNN International anchor, who broke through the bloviation on Jan. 29 by noting that the biggest demonstrations to date occurred on a day when the Internet was down. "There wasn't any Twitter. There wasn't any Facebook," he said. No less exasperated was another knowledgeable on-the-scene journalist, Richard Engel, who set the record straight on MSNBC in a satellite hook-up with Rachel Maddow. "This didn't have anything to do with Twitter and Facebook," he said. "This had to do with people's dignity, people's pride. People are not able to feed their families."
"War," Ambrose Pierce famously said, "is God's way of teaching Americans geography." But it's hard to escape the sad conclusion that the corporate organs of the MSM have failed to do much educating about events in the Mideast; those in search of more serious and substantial information could do worse than to check out the live streaming reportage of Al Jazeera's English coverage.
Thanks to the cowardice of broadcast and cable executives everywhere, this news service currently is all but unavailable anywhere in the country, a state of affairs that the organization is trying to address with its February 10 "Meet-up to demand Al Jazeera on your TV," an online campaign which, paradoxically, mirrors the very demands for the free flow of ideas now being sounded in Egypt.
Difi and the GOP: Since Calbuzz launched, our Department of Mission Statements and Corporate Branding Jive has churned out any number of cheesy memorable slogans in a pitiful attempt to justify our existence to help you, our loyal readers, understand who we are and what we do.
"Shooting the Wounded," of course, reflects the historical role of sofa-bound political writers and editorialists everywhere, while "Burning Our Bridges One at a Time," reflects our own deep and abiding belief in the solemn constitutional responsibility of the press to hurl brickbats, cheap shots and childish insults wildly and randomly, without regard to race, creed, color, sexual orientation, partisan belief or political persuasion.
Another great ideal in which Our Founders believed deeply is this: "Politics is the greatest spectator sport of all."
So it was that we began trying to drum up interest in the 2012 Senate race before the ink was even dry on the statement of vote from the 2010 elections. In furtherance of this goal, we specifically have encouraged Republican gov race loser Meg Whitman to take a crack at venerable Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein next year.
Alas, however, our project has now been dealt a severe blow, with the release of a survey by Public Policy Polling that shows Feinstein crushing Whitman 55-35% in a simulated contest among voters – the same margin she holds over former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, who got stomped by Difi's sister Senator-for-life, Barbara Boxer.
Other matchups: Feinstein over former Congressman Tom Campbell 51-37%; Herself over former Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner 52-34%, and Our Dianne smacking Darrell Issa (R-Car Alarm) by 54-33%, and crunching former Gov. Arnold Schwarzmuscle 59-25%.
(Weed whacking methodology alert) The only consolation for the potential GOP challengers (and for Calbuzz) is that PPP's survey is an interactive voice response (IVR) poll, commonly known as a robopoll – in which a computer interacts with a respondent (like polls run by Survey USA and Rasmussen). And, heaven help us, Dean Debnam of PPP tells Calbuzz that their sample was taken from voter records (which would be fine if you were doing live calls and asking for that person) but the computer doesn't know whether it's interacting with the actual voter from the sample or someone else in the household. Sheesh.
Still, the numbers are of a consistency and magnitude that they're likely to discourage potential GOP contenders pretty quickly, particularly those pondering the wisdom of tossing $1 billion or so large into a rat hole.
To which Calbuzz says: Take heart eMeg. After spending just shy of $180 million to lose the governor's race, why not pop for a real survey and find out if you'd have any shot against Queen Mum?
Because. let's face it, this whole in-between-elections, public policy thing ain't much except a guaranteed cure for insomnia, and we'd be willing to pay to cover a cage match between you and Difi. We'd even give you a second chance to go to dinner with us.
Reagan Agonistes: Amid the orgy of commentary and political posturing accompanying the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's birth, here's the half-dozen items atop our recommended reading list:
1-Most intriguing op-ed was penned for the Orange County Register under the byline of the aforementioned Difi . We're not sure we buy her argument that RR's greatest strength was his "bipartisanship," but she's been going on about the importance of "governing from the center" for four decades, so you've at least got to hand it to her for consistency.
2- The most authoritative source on all things Reagan remains the canon of Lou Cannon, who started covering him as a Sacto correspondent for the San Jose Mercury News.
3-Best quickly assembled, 60-second guide to memorable Reagan quotes is found over at Huffpost.
4-Most interesting observations on what made Reagan a first-rate politician come from Ken Khachigian, who turned in a workmanlike job of first person reporting about the great man's speechifying tradecraft. (H/T Flashreport).
5-Most stomach-churning self-serving effort to identify with Reagan comes from, who else, Sarah Palin. Sorry, Lady Sled Dog, "we're on the road to ruin," is just about as far from his politics as it's possible to be.
6-Best single quote comes from Richard Reeves, via Joel Fox: "Ronald Reagan is still president," he said, meaning the country is living with a political philosophy set out by Reagan. True, true, true, unfortunately.
Bonus read on Reagan: ThinkProgress has a little gem of a piece that will set conservatives' hair on fire, including factoids on Reagan's record as a serial tax-raiser.

More than two months after the first '345' carried passengers, TfL Rail has started using Aventras on peak-time trains between London Liverpool Street and Shenfield. The new EMUs had previously been restricted to an additional rostered duty in the morning on the Metro route to Shenfield.
"Following the introduction of the first new Class 345 trains in June, peak services began running between Liverpool Street and Shenfield at the end of August," said Howard Smith, Operations Director for TfL Rail.
TfL Rail leases 315818-315861 from Eversholt Rail. All have undergone refurbishment, including modifications to make them compliant with accessibility laws required for trains to remain in traffic beyond December 31 2019.
They usually run in pairs, and have been used on the route since their introduction. Their future remains uncertain - one possible home had been the Welsh Valleys, although uncertainty regarding electrification has seemingly put paid to that.
Read about developments in London in RAIL 834, available on Android/iPad.
The new sidings at Chadwell Heath and at Shenfield will cater for 9-car Class 345's plus with Platform 6 at Shenfield now opened and is used by the Class 345's aswell the Class 315's which are due to be replaced when more Class 345's have been delivered and the Elizabeth Line opens in late 2019. Been on few of these new trains. Very nice trains.

                }
                call_user_func_array( array( $Statement, 'bind_result' ), $PARAMS );
                $Statement->fetch();

A: El problema se resolvería con tres sencillos pasos:

*

*Escribir tu $sql como una consulta preparada. Por lo tantas veces dicho sobre la Inyección SQL:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM usuarios WHERE id LIKE ?";

*Preparar bien la variable que vas a  pasar para usar con LIKE. Nótese que en consultas preparadas los % que rodean el valor que LIKE evaluará se colocan en la variable, no en la consulta propiamente:
$buscar='%'.$_POST["palabra"].'%';

*Hay que cambiar el tipo de dato que se pasa en bind_param. Dado que estaremos pasando una cadena, cambiamos la i por la s:
$stmt->bind_param("s", $buscar);

Con esto el código no sólo funcionará, sino que será un código seguro.

*Finalmente, al código le falta un control suplementario. ¿Qué pasa si no se cumplen los criterios de búsqueda? Actualmente el código te presentará una tabla sólo con encabezados en ese caso. Esa parte se puede controlar de la siguiente forma:
Después de obtener los resultados:
$arrResultado=get_result($stmt);

Comprobamos si $arrResultado no está en blanco antes de construir la tabla:
    if ($arrResultado){
            $strHTML='

                                Codigo
                                Optica
                                Nombre
                                Apellidos
                                Provincia
                                Agente
                                Telefono

';

            /* Leemos el array obtenido antes y seguimos concatenando cada fila/columnas */

            foreach ($arrResultado as $row)
            {
                $strHTML.='
';
                $strHTML.=''.$row["id"]."	";
                $strHTML.=''.$row["ncomercial"]."	";
                $strHTML.=''.$row["nombre"]."	";
                $strHTML.=''.$row["apellidos"]."	";
                $strHTML.=''.$row["provincia"]."	";
                $strHTML.=''.$row["asignaragente"]."	";
                $strHTML.=''.$row["telefono"]."	";
                $strHTML.='
';

            }

            /* Una vez fuera del bucle, completamos la tabla */

            $strHTML.='
';
            $strHTML.='
';

            /*Completada la tabla, la imprimimos*/

            echo $strHTML;
    }else{
        $arrMensaje=array("error"=>"No se cumplieron los criterios de búsqueda");
    }
