The Final Battleground
"The Final Battleground" is an excerpt from the film "Native Spirit" that provides an overview of the so-called Indian Wars that took place in the American West during the last part of the nineteenth century.
Tantoo Cardinal is considered by many as the world's most widely recognized American Indian actress. Raised among the Cree, she turned her political activism into an acting career that has included roles as the knowing wife of the Medicine Man in "Dances With Wolves" (1990), the poignant childless companion of Rip Torn in "Where the Rivers Flow North" (1993) and the mother of Brad Pitt's wife in "Legends of the Fall" (1994).
Cardinal is the narrator of the World Wisdom documentary Native Spirit . Excerpts from an interview with her appear in Living in Two Worlds: The American Indian Experience.

This paper is the culmination of over five years of work to develop and apply the methodology for measuring tenure security for land and property around the globe—Prindex. We now have the first ever comparable assessment of perceived tenure security that is truly global, with data from more than 140 countries, representing 96% of the world's adult (18+) population, equivalent to 5.2 billion citizens. This latest round of data collection therefore presents the clearest, most definitive picture of how secure people around the world feel about their homes and property.

land tenure systems
This report uses household-level data from 33, mostly developing, countries to analyse perceptions of tenure insecurity among women. We test two hypotheses: (1) that women feel more insecure than men; and (2) that increasing statutory protections for women, for instance by issuing joint named titles or making inheritance law more gender equal, increases de facto tenure security.

Property rights are a cornerstone of economic development and social justice. A fundamental way of understanding the strength of property rights is through citizens' perceptions of them. Yet perceptions of tenure security have never been collected at a global scale.

Creed 2 Trailer: Michael B. Jordan Steps Back Into The Ring
By AJ Caulfield/June 20, 2018 8:12 am EST
Know his name.
MGM and Warner Bros. have released the first trailer for Creed 2, formally known as Creed II (gotta maintain the Roman numeral numbering from the Rocky franchise it spins off from), and it packs a serious punch straight out of the gate.
No, seriously — in the first few seconds of the trailer, Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed falls to the mat of a boxing ring after taking a swing from his off-screen opponent. He wakes up sometime later in a hospital bed, with Tessa Thompson's Bianca standing over him and reminding him of his strength to carry on.
We then hear more powerful words from another familiar voice: it's Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa, Adonis' mentor, telling the ambitious fighter that there may be rules in the ring, but in the outside world, there's no directives or decrees anyone can follow — and that leaves people vulnerable to the "cheap shots" life takes at them.
The biggest shot Adonis will have to dodge? Facing off against Vitor Drago, played by the real-life Romanian boxer Florian "Big Nasty" Munteanu, the son of Dolph Lundgren's Ivan Drago, the fighter who delivered a fatal blow to Adonis' father Apollo Creed, portrayed in the Rocky series by Carl Weathers. (Ivan killed Apollo during Rocky 4, leaving him to die in Rocky's arms.) Adonis isn't willing to let history repeat itself, appears determined to avenge his father's death, and wants desperately to live up to his expectations — but Rocky warns him that Vitor is dangerous and has absolutely nothing to lose, whereas Adonis has so much more at stake.
The trailer goes on to tease Adonis' training and his heart-to-heart conversations with Bianca, as well as hint that there's much more Adonis is dealing with than just the downfall of his father.
Check it out above.
As indicated in the previously released synopsis for Creed 2, which was unveiled alongside the sequel's first poster, the film will also explore the relationship between Adonis and Rocky as the young boxer readies himself for his battle against Vitor. The two will "confront their shared legacy, question what's worth fighting for, and discover that nothing's more important than family" — all while Rocky proves to Adonis that becoming a champion isn't simply about being the best, and that no matter where he goes and what he does, he'll never escape his history.
Stallone was actually set up to direct and produce Creed 2 at first, but he subsequently stepped down and let The Land filmmaker Steven Caple Jr. take his place at the helm. Some were already unsure if the sequel would live up to its predecessor without original Creed director Ryan Coogler (the mind also behind Marvel's massively successful Black Panther), and hearing that Stallone, the man who has lived and breathed Rocky movies since 1976, had backed out only intensified that worry. But judging by this first trailer for Creed 2, it looks like Caple Jr. did a bang-up job as director and that the follow-up film could be even better than the original.
Creed 2 will hop out of the ring and into theaters on November 21.

Holy Comolli! – Was He Right?
March 2, 2015 Krishaldo
By Krishen Bhautoo (TTT Subscriber Krishaldo).
On 3rd November 2010, Liverpool Football Club announced that Damien Comolli had been appointed as Director of Football Strategy, with part of his remit being to oversee the recruitment of new players to the club. Before his departure on 12th April 2012, he headed the signing of 10 players .
After leaving by 'mutual consent', Comolli took LFC to a employment tribunal in November 2012 after rejecting the original offer of compensation – something that doesn't strike me as being particularly 'mutual'. Recent comments from Comolli give the impression that he still isn't completely over the parting from LFC. Just a couple of weeks ago, he stated:
"When I left Liverpool, the owners told me Henderson was a massive mistake.
"Now he's turned out to be the next Liverpool captain and he's a regular in every game.
"I don't think I have to justify whether Carroll was a good decision or a bad decision. Look at it as a whole.
"When people talk to me nowadays about Liverpool, they say what a fantastic job you did in bringing players like Luis Suarez and Jordan Henderson to the club.
"The issue I have got is when a group of owners approach somebody like me and say we want to invest for the long term, we want you to sign young players, we want you to put together a squad which has a future for the next three to five years, we want you to work with the academy and we start to do all this and after a few months or a few years they say: 'Sorry, it's not working out'.
"You cannot say you have to focus on the future and at the same time say the young players are not ready to compete at the top level."
I've always had the impression that he was treated a little unfairly, and with these latest comments, it would seem that he does too. So I've decided to have a look at his record with us and Tottenham to see if that really is the case. With many thanks to Paul Tomkins for supplying the TPI data, we can see how he has fared in the transfer market. Dan Kennett also laid the foundations of the piece, with his Tomkins Times article on Pay As You Play; Damien Comolli at Spurs: A TPI Case Study.
First of all, Comolli signed 26 players in his time at Tottenham and 10 for Liverpool, for combined CTPP fees of £300m and £162.5m respectively. This equates to an average of £11.5m and £16.2m per player.
It's all well and good how much they cost the clubs, but what is most interesting is the profit and loss made, and comparing this to the average for the Premier League era. Paul kindly included over 700 other transfers with their CTPP fees to give a broad picture of how fees look in general and when we look at the data comparing it to Comolli signings, we get the following:
(Some players are still at the clubs they were signed for, so a value has been assigned to them as opposed to a 'Sale Fee').
So Comolli spends more than the average, recoups more than the average, and makes a smaller loss than the average, which lead me to look into how much of his spend do the clubs lose out on compared to the average?
This is something I've never considered before when looking at transfers and Comolli comes out fantastically well. In fact, if you appoint the Frenchman, you can reasonably expect to lose almost SEVEN times less on transfers than anyone else in the league.
We have to admit that 36 transfers is a small sample. For example, Jordon Ibe has been 'valued' at £5m, but who would sell him at this moment for less than £20m? I wouldn't. It's completely plausible he goes on to be a £50m+ player. Put this figure into the numbers and Comolli would make over 20% PROFIT for us and 1.5% overall.
Similarly, if Bale didn't become Bale and was sold for £5m, Comolli's average gives an almost 24% loss, but still 2.4 times better than the league average.
Whilst still good, it does illustrate the small samples we are taking into account. However his history gives a good indication of what he is able to provide. And if your losses are seven times less than your rivals, you're in a superior position to invest rather than having to cover losses.
We know from Paul's work on the 'cost' of winning the title that every penny counts, especially if (like LFC) you are part of the chasing pack. Transfer efficiency increases your chances of more money (via CL and prize money), so you could reasonably expect to improve faster than your rivals too.
The other thing I wanted to look at was how useful the signings were. It's all well and good signing a player and only making a small loss or even a profit on them, if they don't contribute to your team (of course there are the caveats of players who are signed as squad players – Doni springs to mind).
There seems to be a strong correlation between the cost of the player and the amount of games they play, which would suggest (contrary to Tomkins Law) that when Comolli is involved, the more the player cost, the 'better' he is (presuming that the player is on the pitch due to their ability as opposed to their price tag).
In fact, Comolli signings have featured in over 48% of available games. If you exclude youngsters (such as Ibe, Alnwick, Coates, Gunter, etc.), you are left with 29 players, who (on average) appeared in over 57% of games, nearly 1800 appearances (and counting), lost 'only' CTPP £0.6m each and have an average age of 24.8 when purchased.
That, in my book, is a pretty impressive record. Unfortunately, I don't have the data to compare that to the other players in the PL, but I would hazard a guess that it is superior in almost every aspect.
As mentioned, this is a small sample size of just 36, but how many managers or DoFs sign 36 players? A handful I would think.
For me, there is certainly some merit behind Comolli's methods, and whilst huge losses were made on Bentley, Downing and Carroll (almost CTPP £72m), I would look to Kenny to shoulder some of the 'blame' of the latter two, given the style of play he was looking to implement and Comolli catering for it. But this isn't the blame game, it's a look at how well Comolli has performed, and I have to say that I am impressed.
Perhaps JWH and co were a little too hasty after all?

Q&A with Rosalyn Story
2012-08-23T16:33:15-05:00By Advocate Staff|All Magazine Articles, Art, Launch|0 Comments
Story by Kelsey Samuels
Rosalyn Story Photo by Amber Plumley
Music is Rosalyn Story's first love. That fuels the violinist's other passion, writing. At a recent appearance at a Dallas library, where she signed her latest book "Wading Home," the Lake Highlands resident tells of a rising jazz musician who must deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Story, a member of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, spoke to her fans about the many ways in which music influences themes of sadness, strength, family and cultural history, and the healing power of jazz in her writing. Story's first two novels, "And So I Sing" (1990) and "More Than You Know" (2004) both examine music and its impact in the lives of her characters.
How did your love of music lead to love of writing?
I was born in Kansas City and lived and grew up there. I went to high school and fell in love with jazz. Later, I played violin for the Kansas City Philharmonic. Then I moved and played for the Tulsa Symphony. And I enjoyed it there, but I felt like I should add more to my résumé. So I caught the writing bug. I began writing for the Oklahoma Eagle, a historic black-owned paper. While I was there, I was assigned a story about a very talented gospel singer turned opera singer. She was home to sing in "Aida." The interview yielded an amazing story, which led me to my idea for my first book about the history of African American women in opera.
Tell us more about your latest book, "Wading Home."
The story is set in New Orleans before and after Hurricane Katrina. Julian Fortier is a rising star in the New York jazz world, trying to find his fortune. His father, Simon, is a retired chef known for his infamous red beans and rice. Julian and Simon are very close, but several conflicts and disagreements have driven a wedge between them. Simon wants to stay and wait out the storm like he's done in the past, while Julian wants him to leave and get out. Their conversation ends bitterly, so when Julian gets word that his father is missing, he has some heavy feelings. Because of the storm, Julian must come back home, find his father and face several unresolved issues in New Orleans. The novel deals with several generational and familial issues. It asks the question, what is important and what is a priority? Simon is firmly rooted in tradition, and Julian feels he should make our own ways free from traditional expectations. It also talks about the aftermath of an apocalyptic story. Can things change for the better? What can you gain from a storm, and what can you lose from great change? I leave it up to the reader to answer that.
What was your inspiration for "Wading Home"?
I wanted to write about jazz again for this novel after "More Than You Know." And I also wanted to write about New Orleans because of the rich jazz influence there. Also, the more research I did, the more my family became an influence. The owning and losing of land for African Americans plays a big part in the story. While researching land ownership, I found out more about my family and how African Americans have been losing their land for years because they don't know their rights. So my own family, to some degree, influenced this novel. Also jazz plays a role in this novel, not as much as my past two books, but it was something I hadn't finished exploring.
What role does music play in your novels?
I feel very comfortable writing about music. And with each book that I've written, it was fun writing about it. Especially in this novel, music plays a large role in Julian's life, and jazz is woven into the fabric of New Orleans. The funeral processions of New Orleans are a significant example of how music can heal. For a long time after the storm, there was no music in New Orleans, which is very uncommon for that city. No birds, no music in the streets. Only silence. In the novel, there is an example where jazz music can turn a moment of grief into a moment of celebration. With a few chords of jazz, hope is restored. And it's fun to write about that.
What's in the future for Rosalyn Story?
Right now, the Fort Worth Symphony keeps me pretty busy, but I hope to start writing in August. I have some ideas in mind, but they're strictly ideas. One is a continuation of my first book about African American divas of opera, except this one will have more pictures, more exploration and content than "And So I Sing."

Background: In eukaryotes, the fundamental packaging subunit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which is formed by a segment of DNA wrapped around eight proteins called histones. Histones can be modified covalently, making the genes activated or repressed, thereby regulating gene expression. The acetylation of Histone 3 (H3ac) is a typical activation mark, while the trimethylation of H3 (H3K27me3) and the ubiquitination of Histone2A (H2Aub) are repressive marks. These repressive marks are introduced independently by two protein complexes that belong to a family called the Polycomb Group (PcG): Polycomb Repressive complex 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2). Both marks are necessary for the stable repression of target genes, making the recruitment of these complexes crucial for regulating gene transcription in plants. The burden of gene expression regulation falls on transcription factors, which recruit these complexes.
Question: Which common feature do diverse transcription factors have that makes them able to trigger the recruitment of PRC1, PRC2, or both to target genes?
Findings: Using a system to bind selected transcription factors to a synthetic promoter lacking the complexity of natural PcG target promoters in vivo, we identified the transcription factor VAL1 as an assembly platform of three histone-modifying activities involved in gene repression (PRC1 and PRC2 activity and deacetylation). We used this system to test different transcription factors involved in PcG-mediated repression, discovering that all of them were capable of attracting PRC2 and deacetylation activities, but not PRC1. Surprisingly, the common feature of all tested transcription factors that direct PRC2 and deacetylation activities to target genes is a repression-related domain known as EAR. In addition, we describe an additive effect of different transcription factors on PRC2 marking, as well as the role of the PcG-associated protein EMF1.
Next steps: We plan to focus in depth on the recruitment of PRC1, the establishment of the H2Aub, and its interaction with other histone marks that could lead to different transcription states.

Junius Williams
CEPR Senior Research Fellow Junius Williams, Esq., is the Newark Historian. He is the host of Everything's Political podcast that examines the hidden side of politics through conversations about social justice issues.
He is a nationally recognized attorney, musician, educator and independent thinker who has been at the forefront of the Civil Rights and Human Rights Movements in this country for decades. His life in the Movement in the South and the North has been chronicled in the Civil Rights History Project, a collaborative initiative of the Library of Congress and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Smithsonian Institution. His is one of eleven interviews shown nationally on C-SPAN.
His speeches have energized young and old alike in places like the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC, the Schomberg Center for Research in Black Culture, in New York, Shiloh Baptist Church in Trenton, NJ, and colleges throughout the country.
As the youngest President of the National Bar Association, the oldest and largest organization of black attorneys in the US, he spoke at the United Nations, advocating for genuine democracy on behalf of the people of Zimbabwe, Southern Africa. (The NBA paper was adopted by the UN and publicized in seven different languages for international consumption.) He was listed as one of the "100 Most Influential Blacks in America" in Ebony Magazine, ran for Mayor of Newark, and recently retired as the Founding Director of the Abbott Leadership Institute at Rutgers University Newark, where he taught leadership and community organization based on lessons outlined in his book, Unfinished Agenda, Urban Politics in the Era of Black Power. He sings, plays Blues harmonica, and celebrates with audiences the rich cultural heritage of American music, from the Negro Spirituals, Blues, Jazz, and Gospel, to Hip Hop.
In 2016, he served as Chairman of Newark Celebration 350, to commemorate the 350th Anniversary of Newark. He is Producer of the "The North", a digital portrayal of the black empowerment experience, starting in Newark NJ, at www.riseupnorth.com. The website attracted more than 500,000 "hits" in the first 16 months of operation.The common thread in this rich life shared in his speeches and advocacy is his passion for Justice. Junius uses stories, candid commentary, humor and his music to inspire and empower his audiences. Many of us benefit by the work he has done, and continues to do.

Q: d3.js nvd3.js — Get y-axis min/max values I'm using NVD3's lineChart model.
I need to force-set the min and max y-axis values relative to the actual ones, e.g.:
chart.lines.forceY([min/1.1,max*1.1]);
How can I get the current min/max y-axis values?

A: You can get the current domain through chart.yAxis.scale().domain().

A: If you have already set the y-axis domain like so:
var yAxis = d3.svg.axis().scale(y)
    .orient("left").ticks(5);

y.domain([0, d3.max(yourData)]);

you can access the values through y.  y[0] is the minimum, y[1] is the max.

A new LIMRA study found 92 percent of financial professionals agree consumers expect faster responses to their questions than in the past.
Nine in ten advisors surveyed say technology allows them to provide service, such as emails, personal websites, virtual meetings, texts and social media have become important tools for advisors in finding clients and keeping them satisfied says LIMRA, an industry research group.
LIMRA adds that's not surprising with the increase of multichannel expectations consumers have about companies with whom they do business. Consumers reported whether they contact a company by phone, online, text, or in-person, today's consumers want a seamless experience.
Two-thirds of advisors already have their own website for their practice, with most reporting they offer basic information, the ability to check account balances, as well as market updates and retirement calculators. Affiliated insurance and affiliated investment professionals (71 percent) have a personal website, while 64 percent of independent advisors offer one.
LIMRA reports men (71 percent) are more likely than women (54 percent) to have a website and a majority of advisors encourage the use of online services, allowing clients to obtain service on their terms while keeping the advisor involved. Among generations, Gen Y and Gen X advisors are more likely to encourage online services than Boomers.
About half of financial professionals already use virtual meetings with clients and prospects, and many expect to increase using tools like Skype, FaceTime, and WebEx in the future, LIMRA says. In the survey, 16 per cent of Gen Y advisors used virtual meetings weekly, while 11 per cent of Gen X and eight per cent of Boomer advisors also used the platform that often.
"By increasing their use of technology, advisors are able to gain efficiency without losing the important relationship-building qualities that make them successful," says LIMRA.

In the state of Nebraska we are blessed to have an amazing agricultural college. As a service to the community, we at Gross Seed would like to pass on various types of educational information. You will find the resources informative and explanatory. Scroll down or click a link below to find the information you're looking for.
Hydroseeding is accomplished by using specialized equipment designed exclusively for the process. Materials used in Hydroseeding are water, seed, tackifier, and wood/fiber mulch. Our process mixes turf or native grass seed mulch with water in a Hydroseeding unit. An agitator mixes all of the ingredients into a thick slurry. The mixture is applied using a Hydroseed unit which has a pump with either a long range turret, or a hose to allow for more precise coverage, depending on the terrain that is being seeded.
The watery slurry containing the grass seed and mulch is constantly agitated during application. This agitation coats the seeds, while the mulch absorbs the water. When evenly sprayed on the ground, the water-logged mulch keeps the seeds moist for rapid germination. Once germinated, the grass feeds on the fertilizer to increase root development and growth. Within three to four weeks, the hydroseeded lawn will well on its way to enjoy.
Hydroseeding is a fast, cost effective way to protect from erosion due to rain or wind impact while promoting germination and growth of your seed. Although not as fast as laying down sod, hydroseeding is less expensive than sod — and in about one week, the grass will begin to grow. By the third or fourth week, your new hydroseeded lawn will be ready for mowing. Hydroseeding is a quick way to seed large areas. Also, because hydroseeding is a spray-on process, slopes of hillsides aren't disturbed, preventing erosion.
Drill seeding is an agricultural process complete with a tractor and a specialized seeding attachment called a drill. The drill utilizes a mechanical mechanism to open a furrow, place the seed in the soil at a certain depth, then cover the seed with wheels or some sort of packing mechanism. The depth of the seed can be regulated as well as the rate of application. Because drill seeding uses no wood/fiber mulch in the process, the cost is generally less. Drill seeding is advantageous on larger areas, more level areas, and projects where obtaining adequate water to hydroseed is difficult.
Hydromulching is spraying a mixture of water, fiber mulch, and tackifier on burned slopes to prevent soil erosion or foster vegetation growth. Seed, fertilizer, or soil stabilizing polymers may also be applied with the hydromulch.
Hydromulch is used on severely burned or otherwise highly erosive areas with 20% to 60% slopes. Hydromulching is an expensive erosion control method and therefore is generally limited to treating high risk areas to protect valuable properties, surface water supply sources, or important habitat. Due to its expense conventional mulching is generally used on slopes less than 20%. Use of ground applied hydromulch is limited to areas within 300 feet of the roads or trails that are necessary to provide access for the application equipment. Uniform aerial application of hydromulch is difficult to accomplish and as a result has proven less effective for erosion control, so it is seldom recommended. Hydromulch is generally not recommended where there is more than 25% surface rock cover, in areas where there is appreciable needle-cast, or where there is good potential for regrowth of vegetation within the first year after a fire.
Hydromulching utilizes a 1,000 to 3,000 gallon tank mounted on a truck or trailer that is equipped with a special pump and continuous agitation system. The pump forces the slurry through either a discharge nozzle mounted on top of the tank or a nozzle on the end of a hose. Hoses are typically limited to 200 feet in length. Fiber mulch and tackifier are added to the water in the tank and thoroughly mixed prior to application. The type and amount of mulch and tackifier is selected to provide a minimum of 70% surface cover that will remain in place for at least one growing season. Application rates in the range of 2,000 to 3,000 pounds of wood fiber mulch and 75 to 100 pounds of Guar based tackifier per acre are typical. Fiber mulch has natural tackifying properties, but adding a tackifier is necessary to ensure the mulch remains in place when it is applied to burned slopes. Use of 500 to 1,000 pounds fiber mulch per acre and tackifier can be applied over loose, blown straw to tack it down where crimping is impractical. The actual materials and application rates to be used at any location should be determined by erosion control experts with consideration for the specific site characteristics and the level of protection required.
All of the resources are available for free in WEB or PDF format and well as some available for purchase for a minimal fee (though the University of Nebraska). For more publications and resources please visit: http://extensionpubs.unl.edu/ Click the title to view the guide.

Prototype 1969 Honda CB750 Breaks Records at Auction
One of just four ultra-rare CB750 prototypes—a candy yellow model—just went to auction in the UK where it sold for a staggering $218,792 dollars.

Pre-production Honda CB750 becomes most expensive Japanese motorcycle to ever sell at auction
On March 4, 2018, a pre-production Honda CB750 known as "The Brighton Bike" sold at a UK auction for over $200,000. This beat the previous record set by a 1962 Honda CR72 proto racer that sold for $180K at a Mecum auction in 2009. The Brighton Bike is said to be one of four examples Honda built in 1968 for promotional purposes and is reportedly one of only two prototypes left. The bike was valuated at between $55-65K, but after a fierce bidding-war it reached a world-record-breaking figure of $218,792.

After claiming back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back championship Grand Prix road-racing titles, Honda took the know-how it picked up on the track and set its sights on an American market which favored larger displacement machines like those coming from Triumph (and of course) Harley-Davidson. Honda built four examples for the model's launch, each made by hand before being painted in "candy" liveries—candy red, candy blue, candy green, and candy gold.
The Brighton Bike in all its glory.
According to Hemmings Daily, of the four candy-clad pre-production CB750's that were built by Honda in '68, one was scrapped in around 2013 (I know, wtf right?), r one was sold in eBay in 2014 where it fetched a bit shy of $150K, and one is said to have been sold and shipped to France where it has since disappeared.
Apparently the Brighton Bike doesn't share any parts with the production version.
With R and D funding available thanks to the ample sales of the smaller CB450, in less than a year Honda developed a 68-horsepower 736cc straight-four crammed with super high-tech gubbins—front-disc brake, single overhead camshaft, electric-start, etc. The OG CB750 had an MSRP of just $1,495—about $10K today—which is pretty reasonable considering what you got for your investment.
The Brighton Bike's serial-number stamp
This particular CB prototype (frame and engine # CB750-2110) was supposedly utilized by Honda for promotional purposes in Great Britain the year prior to the iconic bike's release. First publicly unveiled in Europe at the 1969 Brighton Motorcycle Show,(hence the example's nickname) the bike reportedly appeared on the cover of the following month's issue of Motorcycle Mechanics. After that, the Brighton Bike made its press rounds for the CB750's global launch and is said to have then been sold to the Earl of Denbigh. It then reportedly traded hands again in 1982 or '83 and has supposedly been in a private collection ever since. It was in the process of being restored when the owner passed away, resulting in it ending up on H and H's auction block.

Though the bike has been partially restored, it still wears it original factory paint and has some charming wear and patina.

Hamad International Airport is the international airport of Doha, the capital city of Qatar. It replaced the former Doha International Airport as Qatar's principal airport.
Presently the condenser pumps are running with full speed and the VFD is bypassed. Pump is running full load of 100%, designed BKW is 154.4 kW and actual power consumption is 154.87 kW, designed flow rate of pump is 1500m3/hr & actual flow rate is 1817m3/hr. The power consumption & flow rate for the condenser pumps in CUP 2 & 3 is higher compared to design.
It is recommended to operate VFDs with limiting the maximum speed. This leads to reduced in pump flow and reduces the pump power consumption. By this VFD limiting speed easily 10 kW reduction per pump is envisaged.


The things that go bump in the night will be celebrated all weekend long at the Days of the Dead convention at the Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center in Peachtree City. Doors open at 5 p.m. Friday and the event lasts until 5 p.m. Sunday.
The convention honors the creators of horror movies, television programs, comics, music and more as well as the fans who have made the genre as popular as it is today. In addition to guests like Roddy Piper ("They Live"), Gary Busey ("Piranha 3DD"), Derek Mears ("Friday the 13th"), Linnea Quigley ("Return of the Living Dead") and many, many more guests, Days of the Dead will have film screenings, costume contests and balls, the Hell on Wheels Hearse Show on Saturday, tattoo contests, panels with guests, rooms full of vendors and makeup seminars. The full schedule is available at daysofthedead.net.
Dorta said that ticket sales have been going great and that they are looking to exceed expectations this weekend.
The screenings, guests and overall atmosphere are obviously a big draw for Days of the Dead but the vendor room that features the work of numerous artists as well as merchants, magazines and more will give the people plenty to peruse as they make their way around the event. Dorta expects a party-like atmosphere and is sure the South's biggest horror fans will not disappoint.

Sometimes you just want to make CAS cards with pops of bright beautiful colors. I did the same with my bright and pretty embossing glitters from WOW. We have a monthly challenge over at Facebook WOW Embossing Powder Fans group every month and this month the theme is Shimmers. You can enter and win some awesome and exciting prizes.
For my first card, I die cut the background using full of hearts background die and die cut the sentiment word Love four times, both using white cardstock. I stuck the sentiment die cuts together for dimension and heat embossed using three embossing glitters – Zeus, Pink Sherbert and Hot Gossip.
For the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment from the Love You Furever stamp set onto a pink cardstock using WOW Clear Embossing Pad and heat embossed it in Soft Mango Embossing Powder. I stamped the kitties from the same stamp set onto a piece of copic friendly cardstock and colored them in using my copic markers. I placed everything on an A2 sized top folding cardstock. For the envelope, I stamped some small images like fishes and hearts and flowers from the same stamp set onto a doll pink envelope using Simon Dye inks.
For the second card, I did the exact same thing with Hello die and Alphabet Die from Reverse Confetti. I stamped and colored the pups and ball from Playful Puppies on some copic friendly cardstock and colored them in using copic markers.
I placed everything on an A2 sized top folding cardbase. I did the same for the envelope stamping small images onto it using Simon Dye Inks.
That finished off both the cards.
I hope you liked both the cards. Have a fun day!


A few thoughts on true beauty... Today I have been painting my mural; a wall of flowers. It is the first time I have done something this. It started surprisingly well, but then I made a Lilly far too orange and then another flower lost its light and shades to my over indulgence with a paint brush! In a moment of sheer frustration at my inability to create the perfect image, I was tempted to apply the hose pipe and watch my flowers fall to a rainbow of puddles. But, instead I laughed at the ridiculous pressure I was putting on myself to be a great artist at first trial. Then I thought, how sad it is to knock myself down before I have even give myself a chance. And so I took my paintbrush and some white paint to soften the strong hues, and 'edit it' so to speak, so that when it is dry I can build up the mural with new colors and try to keep the feeling alive. If I do not achieve something I like, I can change it again, enjoying the process of learning how to create.
This highlighted to me the process of learning to live. If the process is focused on the end goal, we may well live in frustration; stressed. But, when we surrender the perfection, the ideal and the end goal, and choose to make the process the goal; to enjoy it, to be in it; in the moment, seeing our life, our creation as our art, then perhaps it can be a more joyful event. With this is mind, I am reminded to judge my art with a kind heart, so that the process can be beautiful, and most of all to judge myself with kindness, because this is the only way we create true beauty in life.
Question: if you were encouraging a child to paint for their own joy and expression, (no right or wrong, no lines to stay inside or styles of confirm to), how would you speak to them? What would happen if you applied the same voice to your life?
True beauty, it's how kind you think, its how much you love, it's who you are.
