A Short Week Brings New Opportunities For Penny Stocks
If you're looking for hot penny stocks right now, you looked in the right place. There are plenty of trends to follow especially when it comes to retail traders. While your traditional investment style may focus on fundamentals, that day trading portion of your portfolio is all about short-term risk/reward.
Technical indicators and chart patterns tend to take president over a company's earnings per share growth. Take short squeeze penny stocks, for instance. The chances that someone looking to invest for 5+ years is low if you're talking about stocks with high short interest. But for traders, this could present a very timely opportunity in the short term.
The same goes for some of the industry trends that have sent shares of companies flying. Take the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries, for example. While both could become sound investments down the road, the wild volatility has favored short-term traders over long-term investors right now.
Last week, for example, the newest solar EV company, Sono Group (NASDAQ:SEV), went public. In less than 48 hours of the IPO, SEV stock surged from around $20 to highs of more than $47. Just days later, the EV stock is now trading below $20. It's instances like these that support the idea that having a strategy in place is essential no matter if you're trading or investing in penny stocks.
In this article, we're looking at a handful of names that've turned heads in the stock market today. Whether it's from volatility spikes or becoming a recognized name in a notable industry, high volume and momentum are in play during the first half of the short week.
Penny Stocks To Watch Right Now
Birks Group Inc. (NYSE:BGI)
OLB Group Inc. (NASDAQ:OLB)
Taseko Mines Limited (NYSE:TGB)
NewAge Inc. (NASDAQ:NBEV)
Penny Stocks To Watch 1. Birks Group Inc. (NYSE:BGI)
Luxury and general retail stocks are becoming hot-ticket items right now. Just look at companies like Signet Jewelers (NYSE:SIG) or Capri Holdings (NYSE:CPRI). Both of these luxury retailers have soared to fresh, record 2021 highs this quarter. As the market looks for sympathy momentum in similar companies, Birks Group may have subtly benefited recently.
After free-falling at the beginning of the month, BGI stock has been on a steady rebound. More robust earnings and a return to profitability were among the key drivers for renewed interest in the fine jewelry company's shares. Birks reported an increase of 48.4% in sales for the 26-week period ending September 25, 2021, for its fiscal 2022. This yielded a gross profit of $34.9 million and equated to a jump of over 50% compared to the same period in fiscal 2021.

Jean-Christophe Bédos, President and Chief Executive Officer of Birks Group, explained, "Our return to profitability is a significant milestone that is indicative of the success of the strategies we implemented to overcome the challenges brought about by COVID-19…The Company is off to a positive start in fiscal 2022 with sales growth in all channels, including the continued expansion of our e-commerce channel and the momentum created in our Bijoux Birks wholesale business, underscoring the progress made in the implementation of our omni-channel strategy."
Thanks to this rebound in performance and an uptick of interest in luxury retail, BGI could be one of the penny stocks to watch this week.
2. OLB Group Inc. (NASDAQ:OLB)
OLB Group is one of the short squeeze stocks that broke out earlier this month. this was thanks, in part, to the surge of interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology stocks. OLB specializes in fintech and bitcoin mining services. When the market went crazy for the penny stock, OLB had just reported that it would be able to process Mastercard Bitcoin payments for its merchant partners. This news helped spark enough excitement to see OLB stock jump to highs of over $12. Since returning to earth, the company has remained one to watch, albeit during a continued decline.
This week kicked off with cryptocurrencies mixed across the board. Over the weekend, the price of Bitcoin flip-flopped between the mid to high $50k range. Other leading cryptos, including Ethereum, Litecoin, and even Shiba Inu, mirrored this trend. Even with this as the case, shares of OLB saw a bit more volume on November 22 than they had in previous sessions. Though there were no headlines to point at, the depressed price could be the underlying catalyst as traders await a more prominent move (up or down) in cryptocurrencies.
In many cases, speculation plays a significant role in crypto-related stocks. Traders place their bets on how the underlying price of things like Bitcoin could influence certain stocks. With OLB part of the crypto niche, it could be interesting to watch if things like Bitcoin begin moving.
3. Taseko Mines Limited (NYSE:TGB)
One industry that has come back into focus as of late is mining. With the recent volatility in precious and energy metals prices, the market seems to have turned its focus on raw materials companies. Taseko specializes in mining copper and molybdenum, both hot ticket items in the EV market. In addition, you can't forget the massive amounts of money set for deployment to rebuild or further enhance infrastructure globally.
The company is coming off of a solid Q3 earnings beat announced earlier this month. Taseko came in 100% higher in EPS than estimates and reported sales of $132.56M for the quarter compared to just $106.49M that analysts expected.
"Higher metal production led to lower unit costs as Total operating costs (C1) fell to US$1.57 per pound produced, 22% lower than the previous quarter…We now have approximately $300 million in available liquidity and are well positioned to move into our next phase of growth with construction of the Florence Copper commercial production facility."
Stuart McDonald, President and CEO of Taseko
To this end, Taseko said it received an initial draft of an underground injection control permit from the EPA for its Florence Project. In light of these latest milestones, TGB could be one of the penny stocks to watch.
4. NewAge Inc. (NASDAQ:NBEV)
Sometimes it isn't company headlines driving momentum. NewAge is a prime example of that. The penny stock has been under noticeable pressure for months, but this week saw shares trade some of the highest single-day volumes since February. The catalyst didn't stem from a new sales deal or big product reveal. NBEV stock surged following a Form 4 filing that showed Director Ed Brennan picked up half a million shares at the end of last week. His average price was $1.2155 per share.
This purchase came just a few days after NewAge had announced that it discovered a new method for fighting the effects of aging. In connection with this, the company also filed a patent to protect this latest discovery.
Deanna Latson, NewAge's Chief Product Officer, explained, "This is the first time that scientists have ascertained how to simultaneously address these specific pathways by which HGH declines in the body. As a result, we can now trigger the body's natural regeneration process and support cellular health. No other product to our knowledge can improve cell regeneration, inhibit cellular apoptosis, support physical resilience, boost energy and stamina, and combat other adverse effects of aging."

Thanks to these two developments, it looks like there is a bit more optimism at the beginning of the week. Will that last through the holiday for NBEV stock?
Hot Penny Stocks To Watch Right Now
No matter what, it's important to understand that penny stocks have plenty of risks involved. They are some of the most volatile equities to trade. Yet because of that, they can offer some of the highest potential for short-term gains. Given the latest milestones from some of these companies, will any join your penny stocks list this week?

Got (or want) bigger tyres? Come in here!
Re: Got (or want) bigger tyres? Come in here!
Just had fitted alloys 17x7.5 p30 with 265 70 17.
Alloy bar, winch. Tyre man recommends oztec 45mm lift.
Isuzu D-Max 2012, SX Space cab chas, auto, u/floor sound proofing, trip batts, ext fuel filler hose, munji, catchcan, couplertech rust, h/top canopy, under tray boxes, 63ltr water tank, pump, 265 70 17, 30mm lift.
Booked in for lift at TJM. (XGS 4000 series shocks) Chose the 30mm with 80kg front & 300kg constant load rear.
These hankook dynapro atm rf10's 265 70 17 are 26.7mm taller than our orig 245 70 16's and 19.75 taller than the 255 65 17's. In theory height gain result with tyres and lift should be 56.7mm on old SX wheels and 49.75mm on, if we had the dmax alloys LS model.
PS wheels are roh rtx 17 x 7.5 p30 offset. Stick out factor - rear on the border edge of the tray. Front, just inside guard.
And soon to add 36kg 3 part bash plates.
Yet to fit bash plates and Sax equalisers are off.
Half of the tyre size increase is above the wheel and so, only the amount of profile difference makes an change to the height.
+26.7mm radius (below the wheel).
I have a 2012 D-max with 30mm lift and slightly modified body mounts (cut and tapered the corners a bit) and it fits perfectly without any rubbing at all with 33/12.5x17 on rims with ET 6mm.
But I sold the wheels because the car used 15-20% more fuel with those 33" compared to the stock wheels, and fuel is expensive here in Norway.

Research article Special Issues
Greening and "un"greening Adelaide, South Australia

Special Issues: Urban Greening for Low Carbon Cities
The original design for Adelaide, the capital city of the state of South Australia, incorporated a green belt (known as the Park Lands) around the city centre, itself laid out on a one square mile (2.59 km2) grid and including five large public squares. The Park Lands provided a barrier to urban sprawl and covered approximately 9.31 km2, of which 1.53 km2 has been used subsequently for cultural institutions, railways, cemeteries, sporting facilities and other constructions. In addressing issues of greening pertaining to Adelaide, the Park Lands and its management represents a core element in the evolving history of the city's growth. This paper will consider some of the contradictions within this growth, examining the changing attitudes of government and the populace to the Park Lands and also to the increasing sprawl of the city. It can be argued that this sprawl has been antithetical to maintenance of biodiversity and principles of "greening", not only during the main phase of expansion in the 1960s and 1970s but also in recent years when planned development on prime farmland and other "green" areas is contributing to problems for provision of transport infrastructure and generally reducing capacity for sustainability. The potential for conflict between the desire to maintain biodiversity versus protection for the growing number of people moving into bushfire risk areas is just one of several examples of problems arising as a result of a relaxed attitude to low-density expansion. In examining these problems the paper will present maps of the changing footprint of Adelaide and will elaborate new "greening" initiatives that include green roofs, new systems of water harvesting, community-supported agriculture and schemes directly aimed at creating low-carbon living. A consistent theme will be the contradictions within plans for the city between greening and "un"greening.

"For a happier, more stable and civilized future, each of us must develop a sincere, warm-hearted feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood."
Nepal: Everest pro-Tibet protesters may be shot
KATHMANDU, Nepal April 20, 2008 (CNN) -- Nepal has given its security
personnel permission to shoot pro-Tibet demonstrators during China's
Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest's summit early next month.
"About 25 soldiers and policemen have established camps on the mountain
and they have been ordered to use force if necessary to stop any
anti-Chinese activities," Mod Raj Dotel, spokesman for the home
ministry, said Sunday. "This could mean shooting if necessary."
Security personnel will also check mountain climbers for non-essential
expedition materials, Dotel added.
"If anyone is found with anti-Chinese material their permit will be
canceled and returned from the mountain," he said.
Chinese climbers plan to take the Olympic flame to the top of the
world's highest peak, at 8,848 meters (29,028 feet) as part of the
global relay leading up to the August 8 opening of the Summer Olympics
in Beijing.
Spring is the most popular season for climbing Mount Everest, which
straddles the border between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of China.
The Nepali government has granted permits to dozens of climbers from 30
expeditions this season.
But between May 1 and May 10, climbers are barred from going above 6,400
meters until the torch run is completed. China plans to take the Olympic
flame to the summit sometime then.
Harsh weather conditions allow only about two opportunities in May for a
push to the summit.
The Chinese have not allowed any expedition to climb the mountain from
the north side, according the Kathmandu representative of the Tibet
China Mountaineering Association.
Almost every day in the past month, Nepalese police have arrested
pro-Tibet protesters from in front of the Chinese Embassy and the United
Nations offices. The demonstrators are released later in the evening.
VideoWatch protests in Kathmandu »
Supporters of Tibet denounce the government's stance toward the
autonomous region, and many believe China should not have been awarded
the honor of hosting the Olympic Games.
Earlier torch relay stops in London, England; Paris, France; and San
Francisco, California attracted tens of thousands of demonstrators. They
led to attacks on the torch and relay participants, and prompted police
to make dozens of arrests.
Subsequent stops in Argentina, Tanzania and Oman were trouble-free.
In Pakistan, authorities closed the relay to the public. And India
shortened the relay and kept thousands of anti-Chinese protesters at bay
by sealing off roads and shuttering buildings along the route.
The relay went smoothly in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday, amid heavy
security and scattered protests along the route.
The flame arrived in Malaysia on Sunday. About 1,000 police officers
will be on hand to watch for protesters during a relay in the capital
city Kuala Lampur Monday.


Lighting a fire, difficult? Not with the Light my fire, TinderSticks! This Mexican pine wood has a resin share of 80%. Cut a few splinters of the TinderSticks, this wood is very easy to ignite with a fire starter, such as the Aurora Fire Starter. Of course matches work as well! The wood burns fast, hot and for a long time. A perfect base for starting a larger fire. Even in wet conditions, you can count on good fire, because the fire is mainly fueled by the resin, not the wood.


The number of people who suffer from food allergy or food intolerance largely increased in recent years. Finding a new way to live and a new diet to follow is a huge challenge for them. They don't know exactly what they are allowed to eat, cook or what ingredients they shall buy at the supermarket.
This cookbook was written for those who were diagnosed with lactose intolerance or milk protein allergy. The author has been suffering from lactose intolerance since her childhood. In her early years she had to face the challenge she couldn't eat a piece of cottege cheese dumpling without acut emergence of umpleasant symptoms. This book was produced in order to help her readers who share in the same illness to rediscover the joy of cooking and eating instead of penance.
'Goodbye, lactose' is the second volume of the BOOOK Publishing House's health conscious set.

Client side load balancer for Play 2 WS module based on Netflix' Ribbon.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jehrhardt/play-ws-loadbalancer.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jehrhardt/play-ws-loadbalancer) [![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/jehrhardt/maven/play-ws-loadbalancer/images/download.svg)](https://bintray.com/jehrhardt/maven/play-ws-loadbalancer/_latestVersion)

## Requirements
This module requires the Play framework version 2.4.x and works with Scala 2.11 and 2.10.

## Usage
Add the WS and the load balancer module to your project's dependencies in `build.sbt`.

```scala
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  ws,
  "io.derjan" %% "play-ws-loadbalancer" % "0.1.0"
)
```

Create a load balancer object with a Ribbon load balancer, that fits your needs.

```scala
import scala.collection.JavaConverters._

val servers = Seq(new Server("localhost", 8080), new Server("localhost", 8081))
val builder = LoadBalancerBuilder.newBuilder[Server]()
val loadBalancer = new WSLoadBalancer(builder.buildFixedServerListLoadBalancer(servers.asJava))
```

The above example will use a Ribbon load balancer with a fixed list of servers. You can than inject the load balancer into your controller and wrap WS calls with it to get an endpoint from the server list.

```scala
class Application(ws: WSClient, loadBalancer: WSLoadBalancer) extends Controller {
  def index = Action.async {
    val response = loadBalancer withEndpoint { endpoint =>
      ws.url(s"$endpoint/my-path").get()
    }

    response map { result =>
      Ok(views.html.index(result))
    }
  }
}
```

The Religion of Same - Why Britain Must Fall
If we want things to improve then we shouldn't be demanding less of the world and blaming contributing foreign ex-pats. I'd rather give free healthcare and school places to those who pay in than to those who refuse.
Evangelical Christian, Libertarian Conservative, PR Guy
Over the past few decades we have decided that certain things about the UK must forever remain in their current state. Our 'empire state of mind' has infected more than just our foreign policy and now dictates that domestic policy should be never changing. The rise and rise of 'little Englanders' is now less about how we view the world and more about how we view the way this country works.
And for that Britain can, and must, fall.
It won't have passed you by that the latest 'scandal' to hit this green and pleasant land is that of the waves of immigration. Our shores are not just lapped at by a gentle worry, but by a constantly eroding tide of fear. This kind of press is exactly what the EU debate enjoys and it makes me think Cameron is right. Brexit will lead to war, but I doubt it'll be an external one and it'll probably just happen online.
The latest figures from the ONS apparently show that instead of us having taken 900,000 foreign ex-pats into the country over the past 3 years we've taken about a billion. Or 2.4 million if I was to be less flippant.
However, if we read the stories carefully there are two points made that even I, a blind Bremainian, can acknowledge.
The NHS is strained and our schools are full.
Now if you ran a business that grew to be massively popular what approach would you take? Would you keep doing things the same way, running out of stock and constantly making customers angry? Perhaps you'd tighten your entry policy. If you did would you prefer those who are more likely to pay into your business? Or perhaps you'd change things up a little. Maybe, like Apple, you'd reluctantly introduce new products and new ways of thinking. As a business you would adapt and thrive, not just survive.
But we've become Little Englanders in more than just our view of the outside world. We've now come to hate all that is new about our education system and healthcare and are holding them up as religious institutions. And whilst some would argue that the church must evolve, very few would demand that of our public services. These two institutions are practically the only things that drag us out to protest until it's time for supper.
When it comes to the NHS and schools we've created a religion of same.
So putting aside the debate about whether we let in more contributing foreign ex-pats or not, let's address the root cause of complaint in Blighty right now. Our services are over stretched.
The NHS is, in my opinion, an outdated and broken system that we are scared to fix. Every government and political party promises to pump in billions and eradicate waste, yet every government continuously fails. We get hordes of Englanders with pitchforks at the very utterance of the word privatisation and no one sits down to ask what that means.
In a blog in 2012 Health Minister Simon Burns writes how the government wants to increase competition in the NHS and how this can improve care. That would get peoples backs up. But he goes on to correctly point out that
"Charities or Social Enterprises run by health care professionals - and indeed, some private sector providers - can sometimes be better placed to offer very specialist support that patients need".
This is exactly what the NHS should be about. Free at the point of access, to all, and giving better care by use of 'privatisation' such as charities. I couldn't give two hoots if the ambulance whisking me away is government owned or from St Johns Ambulance, as long as it's a good quality service and free.
Simon Burns goes on to list two great charities who are making this impact. Whizz Kidz have improved wheelchair services for disabled children and Eastbourne Wound Healing Centre have a great record of giving excellent care. Mr Burns concludes that services like Whizz Kidz;
"drive up quality and are the most effective way of offering patients some kind of meaningful choice"
Then we look at the world of education. We've a government policy that has seen hundreds of new schools across the UK and more kids in good schools than ever. Yet people are demanding we keep the system as it used to be.
This religion of same, this refusal to adapt to the world we live in, will be the end of us. Forget being in the EU or not. We are in a global world where increased movement of people won't slow.
Sometimes something has to die for something better to take its place. A pack is only as strong as the weakest wolf, and those who are weak are not left running with the pack for long. That's a strong analogy to use, but I think we need to be ready to let some of our precious traditions die.
If Britain is to face the world strong and to give itself a future, then it needs to look inwards and ask what we are doing wrong. Instead of complaining that our services are full because of migrants, we need to ask how we can make our services better. Do we really believe that if we only let in 10,000 people a year that the NHS would suddenly work better?
Whenever someone tells me we need to face the world with a Dunkirk spirit, or they recall the bravery of the Blitz, I like to remind them that we were being bombed and under attack. War demanded we become stoic and the threat of extinction made us change. 1666 saw London burn to the ground. What replaced it was better, cleaner, more impressive.
It's not the world's problem that school desks are full and hospital beds filling corridors. It's ours. It's our failure to adapt and change and our religion of same same same.
If we want more hospital beds and more school places then Britain, as we know it, must fall.

Milwaukee Brewers are adding one more pitcher to their roster just a week after signing Drew Smyly. According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Brewers finalized a minor league deal that will get them veteran right-hander Shelby Miller.
Miller spent the first part of the 2019 MLB season with the Texas Rangers, playing 19 games with the organization and posting a 1-3 record with 8.59 ERA and 30 strikeouts. He was designated for assignment on July 1st and released by the Rangers several days later.
Shelby Miller signing with #Brewers, source tells The Athletic. Recently released by #Rangers.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 11, 2019
Shelby Miller started his MLB career with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he established himself as one of the exciting pitching prospects in the league. He was traded to Atlanta Braves prior to 2015 MLB season and continued with good performances that ended up earning him an All-Star Game thanks to the player balloting.
Miller started the following season with the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he spent the following three years. His time in Arizona, however, was marked with inconsistency and injury issues, and he never managed to find his All-Star form again.
During his time in MLB, Miller compiled a career record of 38–56 with 4.11 ERA and 622 strikeouts.

Okay, so that's conflating two different aphorisms, but there's truth to that: only you can make a tree (or what looks like a tree) on your railroad.
Wow, it's been two years since my October 2014 Model Railroad Hobbyist article. If you remember, the article was about using sheets of foamcore to build a trial layout.
Plagiarism is such an ugly word. Maybe call it "unattributed borrowing."
Kato's Unitrack is literally the connective agent that makes T-Trak work. But it is comparatively expensive.
There are a few sites on the web that list hobby shops in Tokyo—and in particular, in the Akihabara—but on a recent trip with a layover in Tokyo (and on a return trip in 2014) I was able to visit a couple of them first hand.
With some down time during the holidays, I've taken the time to put together some links that I've found useful.
There's quite a fuss being made over on Trains.Com right now, on the matter of degrees and percent, and the like. Probably much more fuss than needs to be.
You asked; here they are... Just the module pictures. Please see the related article for the details.
A set of module standards based on, and plug-compatible with, official T-Trak modules.
As with any job or recreation, railroading (and model railroading) has its own vocabulary. I don't know if I can do justice to the whole field, but here are a few terms that might be useful to those new to the hobby.
I'm of the opinion that there are two kinds of Model Railroaders, namely the ones that love to just run their trains around the track, and the ones that want to "run a railroad."
I see this all the time, and I'll say that I've been guilty of it myself over the years. It's the use of the terms scale and gauge, and in particular, the use of gauge when the person means scale.
There's something really nuts going on in the brass locomotive market right now. I mean, really nuts.


Staff Picks: What's The Weirdest Foreign Candy You've Ever Tasted?
Pope Benedict lollipops, a surprising find in Rome, Italy.
'Tis the season for Halloween candy. And if you think America has cornered the market on weird sweets, think again! What might seem totally standard abroad—something like salty licorice in Scandinavia—can often feel downright bizarre and alien to an American palate.
Gillian Telling, Editor: My favorite: Plum-flavored chewing gum from Japan. It's tart yet sweet and almost tastes like a perfumed flower. I know I'm not selling it very well here, but it's amazing. If someone nearby is chewing it, you'd be able to smell it's distinct scent within half a block. It's my favorite gum in the world. My other favorite candy in the world is Turkish peppers from Finland. Sweet and salty on the outside, salty and burning hot on the inside.
Kaeli Conforti, Digital Editorial Assistant: I couldn't resist a giant colorful lollipop I found in a gelato shop in Rome featuring a smiling, waving Pope Benedict. It was surprisingly sweet with a lemony flavor and made for the perfect souvenir for my friends back home.
Danielle Contray, Senior Digital Editor: Wasabi Kit Kats from Japan! A friend brought them back as a souvenir and they were surprisingly delicious.
Katharine Van Itallie, Art Director: The weirdest candy I ever ate were chocolate covered ants that my mother brought home—from somewhere—not sure where! She had a great sense of fun.
Now it's your turn! Think we missed something truly wacky? Share your favorite weird candy in the comments section below.

There are only several situations in which the bulk modulus is important. These situations include hydraulic systems, deep ocean (on several occasions), geology system like the Earth, Cosmology. The Pushka equation normally can address the situations in deep ocean and geological system. This author is not aware of any special issues that involve in Cosmology as opposed to geological system. The only issue that was not addressed is the effect on hydraulic systems. The hydraulic system normally refers to systems in which a liquid is used to transmit forces (pressure) for surface of moving object (normally piston) to another object. In theoretical or hypothetical liquids the moving one object (surface) results in movement of the other object under the condition that liquid volume is fix. The movement of the responsive object is unpredictable when the liquid volume or density is a function of the pressure (and temperature due to the friction). In very rapid systems the temperature and pressure varies during the operation significantly. In practical situations, the commercial hydraulic fluid can change due to friction by \(50°C\). The bulk modulus or the volume for the hydraulic oil changes by more 60%. The change of the bulk modulus by this amount can change the response time significantly. Hence the analysis has to take into account the above effects.

Common Blood Pressure Meds Won't Up Risks for COVID Patients: Study
Americans battling hypertension may have one less thing to worry about: Blood pressure drugs do not affect outcomes of people hospitalized with COVID-19, a new study finds.
Researchers looked at whether two types of medications used to treat high blood pressure -- ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) -- could either lessen complications or lead to more severe COVID symptoms.
"At the start of the pandemic, patients were worried about perceived harm based on limited and incomplete information and, unfortunately, some insisted on stopping their medications," said study first author Dr. Jordana Cohen, an assistant professor in the university's Perelman School of Medicine. "However, stopping these medications unnecessarily can increase the risk for severe complications, including heart attack and stroke,"
"Now, we have high-quality evidence to support our recommendation that patients continue to take these medications as prescribed," Cohen said in a university news release."Our trial results importantly show that these medications can be safely continued for patients hospitalized with COVID-19," said researchers from the University of Pennsylvania.
The study involved 152 patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and already using one of the blood pressure drugs. The researchers randomly assigned the patients to either continue their medications or stop using them.
The investigators found no difference in outcomes between the two groups.
More than 49 million Americans take high blood pressure medications, and about 83% (41 million) of them take an ACE inhibitor or an ARB, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The report was published Jan. 7 in the journal The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.

Heart / Stroke-Related: High Blood Pressure


The photo at the top of this page is 205 degrees wide. If you were there, both ends of the picture would be behind you. Yet it looks plausible, because it satisfies many of your visual expectations. Lines you would expect to be straight look straight, things you know should be vertical are vertical, and everything seems to be a reasonable size and shape. Painters know very well how exploit such expectations in order to create believable pictures, even of scenes that could not exist in reality, and to make us see space, even though the picture is flat. This aspect of their art is called perspective.
Perspective is about trying to depict what we actually see. Leonardo da Vinci called that "natural perspective", and famously declared that it would never be captured on a piece of paper. He was basically right, but that has not stopped generations of artists from trying to do it anyhow. In the process they have invented some useful conventions, and some clever tricks, and created many remarkable images. Now, with software partly based on painters' methods, photographers can join the struggle for natural perspective.
Photographers normally deal with images of real scenes, captured objectively by lenses which faithfully perform the rectilinear perspective projection. That projection gave Renaissance painters a powerful new way of depicting space, and is the foundation of the modern language of perspective. Nevertheless, relatively few photos give a really convincing sense of space, and many photographers prefer just to create interesting flat patterns. One reason for this is that until recently photographers could not do much to control perspective. They just matched lens focal length to camera-to-subject distance, resulting in a very predictable, and so rather boring, "photographic perspective". But in the digital age, we can alter the relationship between distance and field of view that is built into our lenses. In fact, we can completely separate an image from the lens that took it. By measuring and correcting the geometrical effects of the lens and camera, we can recover an ideal spherical image of the subject. There is no easy way to view such an image, but there are many possible ways to convert it back into a viewable flat picture. I think of that as re-photographing the subject using a software lens. And software lenses are not limited to simulating what a glass lens could do.
One thing glass lenses cannot do is capture really wide fields of view without obvious distortion. Rectilinear lenses grossly over-expand the outer parts of wide images; fish-eye lenses grossly compress those areas, and moreover bend most straight lines into curves. But now we have panorama stitching software that can extract ideal spherical images from photos taken with any lens, combine those seamlessly into a larger spherical image, and render that into flat views in a great variety of ways. One possible result is an image with a really big field of view and believable perspective, like the picture above.
This kind of virtual photography uses the mathematical muscle of panorama stitching software, but it doesn't require that you stitch a panorama. The images below show how the same process — extracting the ideal spherical image and re-photographing it — can convert a fish-eye snapshot into a convincing perspective view.
It was done roughly as follows. I snapped a photo with a Sigma 8mm fish-eye lens, trying for a good point of view but making no effort to level the camera, loaded it into Panini-Pro and set the lens parameters — focal length and curve shape — to match the lens. Then I rotated the spherical image (by adjusting pitch and roll angles) to get all vertical elements of the scene vertical on screen — this is equivalent to leveling the camera, and is critical to a good result — using the shift controls to keep the image framed nicely. Next I adjusted the Panini compression parameter for a convincing perspective in the horizontal aspect, and scaled the image down by about 8% vertically to give the people more plausible shapes (the Panini projection tends to exaggerate height). Finally I used Panini-Pro's spot flattening tools to "squeeze" bulging areas near the floor and ceiling into more pleasing shapes, touched up yaw, pitch, zoom and framing, and saved the view. The whole process took two or three minutes.
My guide throughout was the visual appearance of the image, not any theoretical rules of perspective. I was working more like a painter than an engineer.

Q: Drupal, Translating menu PATHS Is it possible to translate a menu path in Drupal using i18n? In other words, basically creating two different links, namely:
  www.mysite.com/english  -- www.mysite.com/german
In other words, not just altering the paths, but supporting external links for translation.
And if so... how?

A: I think I don't understand completely - if you enable multiple languages, every link gets a language prefix automatically, like /en, /it etc. You can anyway alter every URL via an URL alias, a seperate one for each language.

A: you can't translate menu path but you can translate their alias, when you activate path module you can manually set a different path for every defined language.

A: if you're talking about external urls, based on the language you are viewing in your drupal site - you'd just create a different language specific menu item points to the external site.  So when you're viewing your site in spanish, you'd only see the external spanish link, and the english, german, etc counterparts would be hidden

Naadam, nadom, nadam (, ᠨᠠᠭᠠᠳᠤᠮ, dosł. "zawody") – tradycyjny, coroczny festiwal sportowy i jedno z głównych świąt państwowych w Mongolii. Słowo Naadam (festiwal sportowy) pochodzi od naadach, które znaczy "bawić się". W 2010 roku Naadam został wpisany na listę niematerialnego dziedzictwa kulturowego UNESCO.

Naadam określany jest też w Mongolii jako erijn gurwan naadam (эрийн гурван наадам), czyli "trzy męskie gry", gdyż obejmuje tradycyjnie trzy konkurencje: zapasy, łucznictwo i wyścig konny.

Historia
Historia rozgrywek zaczyna się za czasów imperium Hunnu albo Hunów, kiedy polowania i inne czynności były jeszcze prymitywne. Pierwsze wzmianki o Naadamie w obecnym kształcie pochodzą z czasów Czyngis-chana, gdy urządzano konkurs sprawności wojowników, a jednocześnie szamanistyczne obrzędy dedykowane duchom. Urządzano je także, by okazać radość po zwycięskiej bitwie. Choć rozgrywki utraciły nieco z pierwotnej żywiołowości i atrakcyjności w związku z przeniesieniem stolicy do Pekinu, a zwłaszcza później, po rozpadzie imperium mongolskiego, nadal były mocno związane z kulturą Mongołów. Po rozpowszechnieniu się w Mongolii lamaizmu (XVI w.), Naadam towarzyszył świętu lamajskiemu. W XVII w. mongolskie plemiona spotkały się nad jeziorem Szireet Cagaan na Danszig Naadam – Naadam Siedmiu Chorągwi – połączony z buddyjskimi obrzędami religijnymi. Te ostatnie przestały być odprawiane od roku 1921, czyli od rewolucji komunistycznej. Później ówczesny przywódca mongolski Suche Bator nakazał od roku 1922 przeprowadzanie festiwalu Naadam w dniach 11–13 lipca, w rocznicę wybuchu rewolucji z 1921 roku i ta data obowiązuje do dziś.

Poza Mongolią, święto Naadam obchodzi się także w Mongolii Wewnętrznej i w Tuwie (15 sierpnia).

Opis
W konkursie zapaśniczym biorą udział tylko mężczyźni, bez podziału na kategorie wagowe. W łucznictwie i wyścigu konnym biorą udział zawodnicy obu płci, a wyścig konny przeprowadzany jest dla różnych kategorii.

Główne zawody odbywają się w stolicy kraju Ułan Bator, jednak mniejszej rangi lokalne festiwale Naadam (zwane mininaadamami) są także we wszystkich stolicach ajmaków i w wielu somonach (powiatach). Zawody poprzedzają występy artystyczne, obecnie często organizowane są jarmarki i kiermasze wokół stadionu. Naadam to nie tylko święto zawodników uczestniczących w trzech grach, ale także zwykłych ludzi - pasterzy przyjeżdżających do miasta oraz mieszkańców wychodzących ze swoich domów i biur, żeby obejrzeć rozgrywki. Zawody, zwłaszcza w stepie i Gobi, są okazją do spotkań rodów i znajomych, którzy w pozostałej części roku koczują w znacznym oddaleniu od siebie. W trakcie święta mają oni wszyscy okazję pohandlować, poflirtować, pośpiewać wspólnie, zjeść i napić się uroczyście. Z rodziną, przyjaciółmi i znajomymi pije się wówczas dużą ilość kumysu, archii oraz je chuuszuury — tradycyjne mongolskie placki z nadzieniem mięsnym (baraniną lub wołowiną). Temu wszystkiemu towarzyszą liczne gry i zabawy, a zwłaszcza popularna gra w kości szagaj, będąca jednym z obyczajów Naadamu (choć gra się w nią także poza świętem).

Naadam w Ułan Bator
Uroczystość zaczyna się na placu Suche Batora, przed pomnikiem Czyngis-chana stojącym przy elewacji budynku parlamentu (Wielkiego Churału). W równo ułożonych rzędach stoi orkiestra wojskowa, zarówno w zwykłych mundurach, jak i ta kompanii honorowej, w kolorowych, tradycyjnych strojach. Delegacja kompanii honorowej idzie po schodach i wchodzi do budynku parlamentu, skąd bierze dziewięć białych buńczuków Czyngis-chana, symbolizujących pokój i czas świąteczny (na czas wojny były używane czarne – można je oglądać w muzeum w Ułan Bator). Gdy delegacja wychodzi z budynku, zaczyna grać orkiestra. Następnie białe buńczuki są przewożone przez delegację honorową na koniach spod budynku parlamentu jedną z głównych ulic miasta – Aleją Czyngisa – aż na Narodowy Stadion Sportowy, gdzie odbywają się główne uroczystości.

Na stadionie o godz. 11:00 odbywa się ceremonia otwarcia w obecności prezydenta Mongolii. Centralny podest na murawie (stylizowany na kurhan wotywny owoo) jest przystrajany przez kompanię honorową dziewięcioma białymi buńczukami Czyngis-chana. Następują po sobie przemowy premiera i prezydenta (ubranych tak jak wielu Mongołów w tradycyjny strój mongolski deel), grany jest hymn narodowy, po czym następują popisy ludowych zespołów tanecznych i wokalnych oraz sztuk walk w wykonaniu wojska, występ orkiestry wojskowej, przedstawienie i taniec z flagami sponsorów oraz występy mongolskich jeźdźców w tradycyjnych strojach (wraz z typowym dla mongolskiej tradycji strzelaniem z łuku w trakcie jazdy). Potem następują przygotowania do głównej atrakcji, jaka odbywa się na stadionie, czyli do zapasów.

Mongolskie zapasy
W tradycyjnych mongolskich zapasach, odbywających się na stadionie w Ułan Bator, startuje 512 zawodników. Wszyscy ubrani są w tradycyjne stroje, na które składają się: wysokie buty pod kolana, skąpe, jedwabne majteczki i serdak okrywający tylko ramiona i barki. Ów skąpy, ale jednocześnie wyjątkowo mocny kostium służy do chwytania zawodnika, celem jego przewrócenia. Przed jak i po walce, zawodnik ma założoną także spiczastą czapkę, mającą z tyłu dwie czerwone wstęgi. Złote paski na tych szarfach informują o liczbie dotychczas odniesionych zwycięstw.

Zapaśnik wbiegający na płytę stadionu rozpoczyna od tańca i modłów. Przed rozpoczęciem walki dotyka rękoma ziemi, co ma dać mu magiczną siłę. Następnie wykonuje tzw. lot orła (dewech), w którym to macha rozpostartymi rękoma okrążając kołyszącym krokiem białe buńczuki, po czym niczym orzeł przystępuje do walki. Zapaśnik staje w rozkroku, nachyla się, klepie po udach i pośladkach i podbiega do swojego sekundanta. W każdej walce bowiem asystuje dwóch sekundantów, którzy jednocześnie są sędziami. Tuż przed walką, zapaśnicy wręczają im na czas walki swoje czapki. W czasie przedłużającej się walki zaś, sędziowie każą zawodnikom złapać się za majtki lub serdaki aby doprowadzić do przewrócenia jednego z zawodników. Zawodnicy w czasie walki nie stosują uderzeń, a sama walka pozbawiona jest brutalności. Przegrany rytualnie przechodzi pod wyprostowaną ręką zwycięzcy, a gest ten oznaczać ma, iż wygrany zawodnik bierze przegranego pod opiekę i że walka była czysta. Zwycięzca biegnie do buńczuków Czyngis-chana, okrąża je trzy razy wykonując rytualny taniec orła (dewech). Podczas niego udaje lot orła Garudy - mitycznego ptaka Wschodu. Na murawie stadionu jednocześnie odbywa się kilkanaście walk. Przegrani odpadają, wygrani zaś przechodzą do kolejnych rund (dawaa), których łącznie jest dziewięć. W ostatniej spotykają się tylko dwaj najlepsi siłacze turnieju. Kto w ciągu zawodów zwycięży pięć razy, ten otrzymuje tytuł Sokoła (Naczin). Siedem zwycięstw daje tytuł Słonia (Dzaan) a dziewięć - Lwa (Arslan). Najwyższym tytułem zaś jest "Niezwyciężony Tytan".

Mongolskie łucznictwo

Zawody strzeleckie odbywają się po południu. Strzelcy różnego wieku i obu płci rywalizują w zawodach używając łuków o niezmienionej od stuleci konstrukcji i stosują starą mongolską technikę strzelania, polegającą na przytrzymywaniu cięciwy zagiętym kciukiem. Stosuje się ręcznie wykonane lekkie łuki bojowe, w przeciwieństwie do ciężkich łuków modrzewiowych służących do polowań. Łuki, które niegdyś służyły armiom mongolskim, a obecnie używane są na turniejach, klei się z kości, drzewa, rogu i kryje skórą, z cięciwą ze zwierzęcego ścięgna lub z jedwabnej nici. Strzały wykonane są z wierzbowych gałęzi i piór sępów. Przed strzelaniem zawodnicy obwiązują sobie rzemieniem lewe przedramię. Ma to związek z tym, iż tradycyjny mongolski strój deel ma długie rękawy, które mogą przeszkadzać w trakcie strzelania.

Łucznicy strzelają do celu, umieszczonego w różnej odległości. Mężczyźni strzelają na 75 m, kobiety na 60, a dzieci mnożąc swój wiek przez trzy (dziewczynki) lub cztery (chłopcy). Unikatowym w mongolskim łucznictwie jest to, że celem nie jest tarcza, ale rząd ustawionych na sobie, plecionych z wąskich pasków skóry nibykoszyczków zwanych sur. Wśród nich dwa owinięte są czerwonym materiałem, będą wskazówką dla strzelającego. Po dwóch stronach "ścianki strzelniczej" stoją sędziowie, którzy po każdym udanym strzale podnoszą ręce, wołając czy też bardziej wyśpiewując zaklęte słowo Uuchaj (oko byka). Okrzyk ten ma odstraszyć wszelkie złe moce. Po każdym celnym strzale, sędzia naprawia "ściankę strzelniczą" i przygotowuje ją do kolejnych trafień. Strzelcy w zawodach nie konkurują ze sobą, ponieważ każdy celnie strzelający może zdobyć tytuł Mergen (Celnie Trafiający). W zależności od liczby wygranych, do tego tytułu dodawane są kolejne określenia takie jak: dokładny, zręczny, perfekcyjny.

Mongolskie wyścigi konne
Mongołowie mają wielki szacunek dla koni, ponieważ od wieków życie Mongołów było ściśle związane z nimi. Konie służyły im nie tylko jako środek transportu, ale stanowiły także źródło bogactwa, główny środek utrzymania i towarzystwa. W związku z tym główne święto Mongołów jest także świętem koni, które mają swoje zaszczytne miejsce w festiwalu Naadam.

Przygotowania do uczestnictwa w zawodach zaczynają się ok. 3 miesiące wcześniej. Właściciele koni, dokarmiając je specjalną paszą przygotowują je do wyścigu na dystans od 15 do 35 km. Wyścigi konne są podzielone na sześć kategorii, w zależności od wieku koni. Przykładowo: 2-letnie konie ścigają się na odcinku 16 km, zaś 7-letnie, na odcinku 30 km. Cechą charakterystyczną mongolskich wyścigów konnych jest fakt, iż uczestniczą w nim dzieci, mające do 5 do 13 lat; one bowiem, jako dżokeje, trenują przydzielone im wcześniej konie. Niewielka waga jeźdźca ma swoje praktyczne znaczenie, dzięki niej koń może łatwiej pokonywać duże odległości w galopie. Umiejętności dżokeja nie odgrywają większej roli w porównaniu z samym koniem. Nie jest niczym nadzwyczajnym więc fakt, iż nie raz do mety docierają same konie bez jeźdźców, którzy nie podołali wymagającemu wyścigowi.

Przed rozpoczęciem wyścigów, publiczność śpiewa tradycyjne pieśni, a dżokeje śpiewają piosenkę zwaną Gingo, która ma im zapewnić pomyślność. Po tym jak młodzi jeźdźcy wsiądą na konie, tradycyjnie okrążają mongolski kurhan owoo z narodową flagą. Potem kolumna koni ustawia się na stepie zgodnie ze zwyczajem, a więc tyłem do linii startu. Na sygnał konie odwracają się i z całych sił biegną przed siebie rozpoczynając wielokilometrowy wyścig. Pięć pierwszych zwierząt nazywa się "kumysową piątką" – na ich cześć śpiewa się pieśń, zawiązuje na szyi medale i polewa im głowy i grzbiety kumysem (kobylim mlekiem). Najlepsze konie stają się od razu bardzo pożądane i czasami po zakończonym święcie Naadam niektórzy właściciele koni mogą sprzedać swoje czempiony innym hodowcom za odpowiednio wysoką sumę. Publiczność ofiarowuje także piosenkę pocieszenia dla dwuletniego konia, który dotarł na metę ostatni. Obwołuje się go mianem Bajan Chodood (Pełny Żołądek), co ma sugerować, że był zbyt ciężki podczas wyścigów. Z kolei zwycięski jeździec otrzymuje tytuł tümen ech ("lider dziesięciu tysięcy").

Zawody jeździeckie podczas głównych uroczystości w stolicy odbywają się na stepie na obrzeżach miasta w Jaarmag, w szerokiej dolinie, ok. 10 km od centrum Ułan Bator. Wstęp jest bezpłatny, a z centrum miasta można dojechać tam taksówką lub autobusem zabierającym ludzi spod stadionu narodowego.

Limited Driving Privileges (LDP) can be issued for a variety of reasons. The typical situation where an individual will be eligible for a Limited Driving Privilege is after receiving a DWI or DUI. There are also LDPs available for certain speeding violations.
Someone charged with Driving While Impaired, will be subject to a thirty (30) day civil revocation of his or her license (or privilege). After ten (10) days, it is possible for an individual to obtain a Pretrial Limited Driving Privilege for the remaining twenty (20) days of their revocation.
If convicted of DWI, DUI, or Drunk Driving, an individual's license will be revoked for a minimum of one (1) year. Under certain situations, an individual can receive a Limited Driving Privilege for things like getting to and from work, household purposes, and getting alcohol or drug treatment.
Those who refuse to submit to the Intoxilyzer 5000 (Breathalyzer) during a DWI / DUI arrest, lose their license for a period of one year. However, after a period of six (6) months, licensees are eligible to receive an LDP. Individuals who have submitted to the Intoxilyzer 5000 and blew a 0.15 or greater may be eligible for an Interlock Limited Driving Privilege.
In some circumstances, those who have been convicted of a traffic ticket for speeding more than 15 mph over in a speed limit zone of greater than 55 mph, or offenses such as larceny of gasoline are also eligible to obtain LDPs under certain circumstances.
Each of the various Limited Driving Privileges require meeting the criteria necessary for that privilege, having the proper documentation and getting a judge, of proper jurisdiction, to agree to sign the Order. The lawyers and attorneys are uniquely qualified to assist those who may be eligible for Limited Driving Privileges navigate the process.
A traffic offense can be more serious than one expects. While everyone is familiar with a drunk driving (DWI-DUI) conviction being a serious offense that can lead to jail time, higher insurance rates, hefty fines, and loss of driver's license, did you know that other tickets for moving violations can too have a serious effect on your life and your finances?
In many cases, traffic tickets and DWI can cause significant increases to your insurance rates and DMV points, lead to expensive fines and loss of driving privileges and lead to a large range of other consequences from employment issues to community service and even jail time.
If you have been pulled over by a police officer, have a ticket in hand or have a traffic court date, it is natural to feel that you will inevitably have to pay your fine, accept higher insurance rates and increase your chances of a suspended license.
Take the necessary steps in keeping your driving record clean.
Since mass transportation is not readily available, safeguarding your driving privileges is essential. The attorneys can help you retain your driving privileges and can help keep your record clean, ensuring that your career and employment will not be affected.
If you face a traffic ticket/moving violation or DUI/DWI charges, contact a firm for a free consultation.
The role of the attorney or lawyer is in representing a client who has received a traffic ticket or been charged with any criminal offense to advise the client as to his or her options and attempt to obtain the best outcome for their client.
In most instances, the District Attorney and the Criminal Defense Attorney will reach a compromise resolution or plea bargain that enables the defendant to receive or plea to an outcome to something lesser than what has been charged. Frequently, during the plea bargain process certain charges will be dismissed as part of an overall arrangement such as when the defendant agrees to plead guilty to other charges or comply with certain court orders. It should be noted that only in rare instances would a Driving While Impaired (DWI or DUI) be dismissed or reduced by the district attorney, although it does happen on occasion if the State has a problem with their case. Consulting with an experienced Driving While Impaired attorney is critical.
Obtaining a traffic ticket dismissal occurs under various circumstances too numerous to cover in their entirety. However, some instances where a traffic offense defendant might expect a traffic ticket dismissal would include those charged with traffic accidents that had insurance that covered the expenses of the injured party.
Traffic ticket dismissals are sometimes granted to individuals who had some form of administrative problems such as an expired license, inspection or registration, or the likes and have resolved the problem at the time of their court date. Additionally, in some jurisdictions an individual who was charged with a Driving While License Revoked (DWLR) may get the traffic ticket dismissed if they have a license during their court appearance; however, this is not universally granted and depends on one's driving record and the county where the charge was received. If a traffic ticket dismissal is not granted this is a circumstance where a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC) might be appropriate, but this is a serious charge and contacting a lawyer would be advisable before proceeding.
There are other circumstances for traffic ticket dismissals. It's better to review the specific facts with an attorney or lawyer.
Acquiring auto insurance is not actually an hard process. The process will only become hard to those who are considered as high-risk drivers. It may sound biased but you'll only become eligible to get lower premiums if you already have proof that you are a responsible driver and for a beginner, that might take you at least a year.
If you want to get cheaper auto insurance, you should shop around for several quotes online. This will provide you better options not only regarding the rates but the coverage as well.
