Research is important, but so is perfecting research. Especially in the areas of Intimate Partner Violence.
We usually see geographic differences (if addressed at all) as reflecting urban, suburban and rural areas. But two IPV researchers started seeing some problems with that and decided to get to the bottom of it.
They sifted through the National Crime Victimization Survey data to better understand how settlement types impacts the type of violence against women. What they found is that using three geographic designations only gives a very imperfect reflection of violence against women.
Kathryn DuBois is an Associate Professor at Washington State University Vancouver. Beginning with research toward a Ph.D. in Criminology from Simon Fraser University on alcohol and violence among the Inuit of the eastern Canadian arctic, and has developed expertise in several areas including victimology, violence against women, rural violence, and public health approaches to alcohol regulation.
Callie Marie Rennison earned her Ph.D. in 1997 in political science from the University of Houston, University Park, where she also received a B.S. in psychology, M.A. in sociology, and M.A. in political science. In 2016, she was awarded the Bonnie S. Fisher Victimology Career Award from the Division of Victimology in the American Society of Criminology. She has also served on a National Academies Committee examining domestic sex trafficking of minors in the United States and was a Senior Researcher at the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Join us as Rennison and DuBois share the findings from their research and how those findings can change our understanding of violence against women.

The 2017 election result has led to an upsurge One More Heavism aka triumphalism, on the Labour Left, taking the unexpected but welcome surge in the last month of the election and its results as the basis for a Labour victory at some point soon. The Wish is however Father to the Thought and a different set of factors are likely to apply in the next six months. What is clear is that we are now living in a period of surge politics, as experienced across Europe and the USA, and the Scottish example even more than the rest of the UK shows that winners two years ago are losers today. The Tories gained against both the SNP and UKIP on June 8th but ten days later…. who would bet on them?
Labour is set to gain in the short term, as the opinion polls are showing, but Triumphalism is showing both an over confidence in the Labour Left's electoral appeal, and a failure to read the signs of the surges – there were more than one – which happened to produce the result on June 8th. As Christian Wolmar argued on Labour List and ProgPol, Corbyn won the election and it is his prerogative to make the decisions. But only internally for Labour. The Tories decide the election, so the Left Futures Editor James Elliott was premature with his blog of 13th August. After the election Labour had a poll lead – 6% when he wrote, and probably more following the Grenfell fire. This he argued "would give Labour a clear majority were there to be another election". Sadly this is in the gift of the Tories, who will have to be forced out by a vote of no confidence or similar. Which means Labour having to form a parliamentary alliance plus the DUP failing to support the Tories if it is to happen.
While it is very unlikely that the Prime Minister can survive five years the Tories don't need to. The only show in town is Brexit, and if they can do a deal within two years, then that is the optimum point for an election. Opinion polls at the moment are irrelevant.
This calculation has so far escaped both hard and soft left. Figures close to Corbyn – Joshua Simon on the New Statesman website on 16th June, and Cat Smith MP on Labour List on 15th June, both thought the Party was on the brink of government. Simon thought "a host of seats across Britain have become marginals that Labour can target" especially with UKIP voters returning to Labour, which was helped by "Labour's opaque stance on Brexit". UKIP voters largely voted Tory, while Labour's Brexit evasions are unlikely to be a basis for anything.
Cat Smith, however, endorsed a reliance on Tory Marginals. "When the next General Election is called, a 1.6% swing will do. 34 seats are needed". But this is only for a majority of one. And its not simply a matter of winning more seats, since in places like Newcastle Under Lyme (30 majority) and Crewe (48 majority) the election put Labour M Ps on a knife edge.
The message of winning marginals is the key was also put by Jade Azim of Open Labour on the Labour List site on 16th June, arguing like Cat Smith that "the spectacular election has opened up a lot of key marginals for us that were previously safe Tory seats." She cites Chipping Barnet with a Tory majority of 353, Chingford at 2438, and – looking at the Progressive Alliance territory – seats like Caborne and Redruth with second place only 1577 behind, with 2979 Liberal and 1052 Green votes to woo. No doubt Compass will be telling us more about these seats.
However Jade then talks about having a huge opportunity to win back UKIP voters "and liberal Tories in the south…." However this is starting to enter the realms of how to win the National Lottery. Liberal Tories mostly favour Remain. UKIP voters want Leave. They are not in the same ball park. It is welcome, and true, that voters in a seat like Stoke Central were prepared to vote UKIP but not Tory, but in the next constituency of Stoke South they did just that. While the Labour vote went up in Stoke South as the Lib Dems, Greens and TUSC votes moved to Labour, the vast majority of the 8298 UKIP votes – UKIP did not stand – went Tory to make 12,780 in 2015 into 20, 451 Tory votes in 2017. While the Labour vote went up, the Tories won. In Stoke Central, the by election momentum carried on and while UKIP, who did stand, dropped 3625 votes and the Tories rose 8032, Labour had an increase of 9230 partly with the Lib Dems dropping 1400 votes. The working class in this wholly working class seat came back to Labour in numbers to build on the majority secured in the by election.
I am encouraged by this, for a strategy of relying on Tory liberals is not good enough. In 1945 Labour had a working class and middle class vote with the workers being the key to the next three or four decades. This was basis for the Attlee Government and was replicated in 1997 and more dubiously in 2001, but not since. I don't believe Labour can win unless this alliance is reconstructed. Today the workers are the ones Labour is losing unlike the 1950s when Labour lost the middle class voters of 1945. The big question is going to be – What About the Workers?

Wipe away dirt and makeup from the day–without the use of harsh chemicals. This mix of virgin coconut and avocado oils, tea tree, and lavender are organic, ethically sourced, and full of antioxidants to help maintain healthy moisture levels. Plus, it comes in a travel-friendly size so your face can stay clean wherever you go.
It's seems counterintuitive, but cleansing with high quality oil like this one is so good for the skin! Especially dry or aging skin, but even oily skin like mine! Can't beat this price either!
Love the way my skin feels after use.
The best facial cleansing oil out there, in my opinion! Gently cleanses and leaves my skin soft and dewy. I use it every night to wash my face and remove my makeup.
Not a fan of cleansing oils anymore but this was good price and was not at all offensive. If I liked them more I would use this.
I purchased this item a couple of months ago & I srsly cannot live without it! My face is so dry so I use it morning & night. It's super soothing. I also love this company.
Apply it to a dry face and really work it in! Both my hubs and I use this!

This strip has gone to some dark places in its six-and-a-half year run, but I've tried to keep the tone more-or-less light. You can't really avoid the darkness forever, though. Sooner or later, the darkness comes to us all.
I remember, when my dad died, my mom went through a really tough period. She had spent decades being half of something, and then one of those halves went away. What do you do, what do you become when something you used to define yourself is no longer there?

RoK: Yeah. I've learned that lesson too, I guess. Which leaves me with just one problem.
RoK: I don't really have a reason to live any more.

Heavy Soul is a compilation album by Atomic Rooster, a British rock band.

It is notable for several reasons:

Unlike most other, unlicensed, Atomic Rooster compilations, it covers the entire period from 1970 to 1974.

It is the first in Castle Communications' definitive series of seven remastered Atomic Rooster CDs, the other five consisting of their studio albums from 1970 to 1973 and a Vincent Crane career overview. All were compiled by music journalist Colin Harper, who also supplied extensive sleeve notes.

It contains the only CD issue to date of both sides of the 1974 Vincent Crane/Chris Farlowe-only 7", "Tell Your Story (Sing Your Song)"/"O.D.". However, these two tracks, originally released on Decca, were subject to a short-term licensing deal between Castle and Universal. This meant that they could not be included on the 2004 reissue of Nice 'n' Greasy; indeed, they were also removed from later pressings of Heavy Soul itself.

In 2005, Heavy Soul was also released as a DVD-Audio DualDisc on Silverline Records, Atomic Rooster's only such disc to date. This version was retitled The Best of and though retaining the same packaging and boasting remixed 5.1 surround sound, it omitted many of the tracks in order to facilitate issue as a single disc.

Track listing
CD 1
 "Banstead" (Crane/Graham/Palmer) 3:31
 "Winter" (Crane) 6:58 *
 "Broken Wings" (Jerome/Grun) 5:46 *

Q: Debugging StaleElementReference exception - Selenium WebDriver I am in some kind of situation here.
I have a function editNewUser().
public void editNewUser() throws Exception
    {
        driver.findElement(adminModuleDD).click();
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(searchRes));
        List<WebElement> elements = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(uNames));
        for(WebElement el : elements)
        {
            if(el.getText().equals(UserName))
            {
                el.click();
                wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(editUserHeading));
                driver.findElement(editUser).click();
                WebElement status_Dropdown = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='systemUser_status']"));
                Select status = new Select(status_Dropdown);
                status.selectByVisibleText("Enabled");
            }
        }
    }

The UserName is a public string variable that gets value in another function, during creation of user.
In this script, I am navigating to a page that contains list of users, I am storing all user names in List 'elements' and then iterating over each element in the list whose text matches with user name.
Now, in my test_run script, I have some other methods calling after editNewUser().
The thing happens is, this method executes the following commands in if block.
if(el.getText().equals(UserName))
    {
        el.click();
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(editUserHeading));
        driver.findElement(editUser).click();
        WebElement status_Dropdown = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='systemUser_status']"));
        Select status = new Select(status_Dropdown);
        status.selectByVisibleText("Enabled");
    }

But as soon as next method is called, it stops the execution and throws org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: Element not found in the cache - perhaps the page has changed since it was looked up
Stack Trace refers to the line if(el.getText().equals(UserName)).
Can you tell me why am I receiving this exception, event though the commands inside if block are executed.

A: The error message is telling you the problem.  The page has changed once you edit the first "el" in your for loop, the page has been updated, so Selenium has lost track of the remaining elements in the "elements" list.
You'll need to find another way to track the elements that you are looping through.  a technique that I've used in the past is create a custom object to represent the items, in your case perhaps "User".  that object is then smart enough that it can re-find itself on the page.

Chinese New Year is usually full of movies trying to cash in on the hype. This year, you have big names like 'From Vegas to Macau 3' and locally produced 'Long Long Time Ago' by Jack Neo. All of which seems great. However, for me personally, one movie stood out from the rest, and that is Stephen Chow's Mermaid (美人鱼). I decided to watch the movie immediately when I saw the movie's trailer.
Don't bother watching the trailer though. It's is just horrible and doesn't do any justice to the movie.
It's been some time since Stephen Chow last made a movie. As one of his ardent fans, I always had this fantasy of wanting to see him act or make a final swan song movie before he officially retires and his last movie, CJ7, just didn't quite make it (it was still good though). Not to mention that the last Stephen Chow inspired film released last year, Lucky Star 2015 (吉星高照 2015), was a complete and utter disappointment.
The fanboy in me just wanted to have one movie that would parallel the awesomeness of his classics like Journey to the West or Kungfu Hustle. While retaining many of his signature styles, Mermaid, however, took a very different path than the usual Stephen Chow movie. Not in a bad way, but just a style that reflects perhaps the evolving style and direction of Stephen Chow (I will call him SC from now on, for brevity purpose).
One of the changes includes a heavier moral undertone to the film as compared to classic SC's movies that only aim to entertain. The movie started with grim footages of environmental pollution and dolphin killings, as if setting the theme of the entire movie. The storyline of the movie centered around a controversial environmental project, that aims to highlight issues such as material wealth at the cost of environmental pollution and "evil" human desires such as greed. It's interesting to see how SC is trying to explore deeper issues in this movie amidst all the comedy.
Secondly, I also felt that the movie has a heavier China influence over it as compared to the Hong Kong movie style that I am used to. Maybe it's because I watched in Mandarin or it's the setting of the entire movie, but the movie felt more clean and polished as compared to the usual "messiness" in terms of colour and composition that defines Hong Kong movies. Not that it's bad, it's just that perhaps I need some getting used to it.
Also, there is a heavier use of CGI effects in the movie, which could get quite excessive sometimes, not to mention that some are outright out of place. It's like SC got a new toy which is CGI, and decided to use as much possible in every scene. Dawn said that it could be he did it on purpose (the bad CGI effects) to be sarcastic, but I suppose that is a question that only he can answer.
Fortunately, despite the negative points that I mentioned, the movie's numerous positive points far outshine the cons.
Compared to many Chinese New Year movies out there that only aim to bring together big names to make a quick buck (72 Tenants of Prosperity, I Love Hong Kong, etc), Mermaid (美人鱼) manages to stitch a convincing story together about a mermaid trying to seduce a rich billionaire in an effort to kill him, despite how absurd that sounds. The story and romance flow seamlessly together, in a way that 90 minutes of the movie passed quickly, leaving me wanting to see more in the end.
There's never a dull moment in the movie, filled with over-the-top SC style of humour that have the rest of the cinema just rolling in laughter. Scenes like the main actor trying to convince two policemen that mermaids exist or the octopusman having his tentacles mistaken for Japanese food were just hilarious, reminiscent of SC's style of comedy. His just has this ability to make viewers laugh until their stomach hurts.
And despite having no SC presence on screen, the relatively new main cast managed to carry the whole show superbly from start to end, delivering all the iconic comedic scenes and even the serious scenes without a hitch. It's quite enjoyable to see how the multi-talented cast bring the story and comedy alive, which I guess was one of the reasons why SC didn't want to be on-screen.
In closing, Mermaid (美人鱼) manages to be quite an entertaining movie, despite its tendency to rely CGI effects, by showcasing a talented cast in a captivating story, along with recognisable SC's brand of comedy. I don't know how the movie would fare against a bigger budget movie like Vegas to Macau 3, but what I do know that loyal Stephen Chow fans would definitely love this movie. A must watch this Chinese New Year.
The only thing left now is for Stephen Chow to act one last time in a swan song movie, and I would be a really happy fanboy.

OUTA encouraged by SASSA CEO's actions
OUTA welcomes the announcement by the CEO of SASSA, Thokozani Magwaza, expressing his intention to respond to Minister Bathabile Dlamini's submission to the Constitutional Court.
BATHABILE DLAMINI CORRUPTION OUTA SASSA SOCIAL SERVICES
We believe that the minister's submission to the court was self-serving and did not provide the correct version of events. The information and facts which the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) has supplied to the authorities, provides clear indications that the minister has purposely and consciously avoided accepting any responsibility for the SASSA debacle, as was exposed in the Constitutional Court.
"Minister Dlamini has blamed everybody in the chain of command but herself for the lack of action taken to develop the SASSA solution and thereby exit their reliance on CPS crisis," says Dominique Msibi, OUTA's portfolio manager for social services. "And yet in her haste to apportion the blame on others, she has contradicted herself. We find it strange that the minister gave instructions that the workstream leaders report directly to her, whilst claiming ignorance about the progress of the workstreams and SASSA's readiness to take over the grant beneficiary payments."
It is disingenuous for the minister to claim limited knowledge of specific events in this critical area of her responsibility. It was also her responsibility to make sure she was informed.
OUTA recently wrote to the CEO of SASSA, asking him to cancel the contracts with the workstream leaders, as they appear to have been appointed outside the legal processes prescribed by the PFMA. OUTA has it on good authority that none of the required preconditions were achieved, before the workstream contracts were put into place.
Over and above this, the contracts far exceed the amounts allowed for allocation without a proper tender. It is also unclear whether the proper documentation was submitted when payments were made. These payments were made too soon for any deliverables to have been met.
OUTA encourages the CEO to expose the misrepresentation to allow the Constitutional Court to understand fully the depth of deception and to provide the court with sufficient information to apply apt and appropriate sanctions against the minister.
7th April Pretoria protest and gathering at Church Square is still on

Da es ja mittlerweile bereits so viele Beiträge gibt, kann man sich auch erst mal eine Weile damit beschäftigen, nur zu lesen, ohne sich direkt zu outen. Und mir fällt auf, dass täglich viele Gäste vorbeikommen und es sich auch immer wieder Menschen neu anmelden.
Ein FAQ wird wohl gerade von denen gesucht, die sich in diesem Forum noch nicht so gut auskennen und nicht genau wissen, wo sie anfangen sollen. Es ist inzwischen schlicht unmöglich ALLE Beiträge zu lesen.
Will I have to keep doing exercises forever?
Once your vision has returned to normal more permanently, it becomes easier to keep it so. Seeing blurry involves a lot of strain that is taxing on your energy. Seeing clearly is a habit of correct use of your eyes that you (re)learn and is inherently easier and more preferable as you get used to it. The exercises only help you on your way. If you do find your vision slipping at some point, you know what to do to re-establish the clear vision, whether it's temporary use of some exercises or just a moment of examining how you're using your eyes and re-asserting the correct way that you have already learned. People with normal vision do not do exercises to maintain it, and neither do you need to. Your eyes are used all day long, and the way they are used all day has a much bigger impact than anything else. Similar to how your heart is challenged and becomes healthier by intense physical activity, your eyes are challenged by difficult visual situations and become better able to adapt to them.
How do you convert between 20/x and diopters?
How do you convert between acuity (noted as 20/50, 20/100, etc.) and a glasses prescription in diopters (-2, -5, etc.) ?
You can probably find someone to suggest a conversion table or another way to convert it, but there is no such conversion. It's two different things that only correlate very roughly, and even then only sometimes.
Acuity is a subjective measurement of what sized letters you can read on an eye chart at 20ft. Other than your quality of vision, this will vary by lighting levels, the chart used, and how good of a guesser you are. A diopter is the unit of measurement used for prescribing glasses to "correct" your vision for either distance (20ft or farther) or reading distance (18in). It is determined by calculations involving the light rays not being focused properly by your eyes and how much of an angle is needed to correct it. There is also usually at least a small amount of astigmatism correction noted in the prescription. Various conditions or diseases will affect how well you actually see. Misusing your eyes by a greater or lesser amount than you habitually do will affect it as well.
Diopters should be of little or no concern to people improving their vision. You can't easily measure it yourself, and it doesn't correlate well to how well you actually see, whereas an eye chart is a much better representation of the changes in your vision over time.
How can I address my child's vision problem?
If you have vision problems of your own, you can't help your kid until after you help yourself. Your kid will imitate the way you use your eyes. You're whom he probably picked up those kinds of subtle habits from in the first place. If you (or another parent or guardian) have poor vision, first practice the Bates method successfully yourself before trying to teach it to the kid. If your vision is already good, you probably have noticed times when your vision isn't perfect, and you can put the method to use on yourself in order to understand how it works. You can't teach something that you don't understand, and you don't understand it well enough to teach it until you've recovered your vision yourself.
Can I keep wearing my glasses?
The bottom line is, putting on your prescription glasses helps you accomplish tasks, and they're also bad for your eyes. If you're going to wear them, don't try to get someone here to make you feel better about it, because you're only fooling yourself. If you diligently practice the exercises, occasionally wearing your glasses might not prevent you from recovering your vision. Glasses interfere with the visual biofeedback in that the clear vision they help produce suggests that everything is okay and that there is no severe misuse of the eyes going on. It leads to a mess that people must find their way out of as they relearn, without glasses, what really affects their vision positively or negatively. Glasses really aren't the problem; misuse of the eyes is the problem. But glasses cover up the problem and mislead you. How often will you participate in the illusion?
Try pinhole glasses if you need to wear something sometimes. They still have the drawback of helping to produce a sort of clear vision despite continuing misuse of the eyes, but people often find for whatever reason that wearing pinhole glasses results in a feeling of instant relief for the eyes, as if much of the eyestrain just disappears, whereas prescription glasses do not help produce the same beneficial feeling.
What about other vision improvement programs?
There are constantly new websites popping up trying to sell you their package or promoting another theory about vision. We believe that the Bates method is the most direct way of resolving vision problems. Some websites do have products or info that actually are good presentations of the Bates method. But the Bates method is subtle and often misunderstood, so just because something says it's the Bates method doesn't mean it is. The Bates method really is NOT complicated, and you don't need to go seeking out the latest and greatest product for it. Just because you buy something and follow instructions doesn't mean you're really doing anything helpful for yourself.
What is a clear flash? Is it real or just an optical trick?
People improving their vision experience, as part of the process, flashes or longer moments of improved vision. This is often a sign that a person is - at least somewhat - using their eyes correctly for a moment and the visual system is free to self-correct and produce clear vision. This can last any amount of time - a second, several minutes, hours, or permanently clear vision. These periods of improved vision become more frequent, longer, or clearer as a person successfully applies the process in using the eyes correctly.
These are optical tricks having to do with the way light enters the eye and possibly the shape of the cornea or other unknown factors. They are not recommended. They can't be maintained as a way to support correct use of the eyes, and they may even be harmful long term as much as glasses are in the aspect of incorrect biofeedback.
With sudden clear vision that is "real", or in other words produced by the visual system as a response to the support received in the process of correct use of the eyes, people also commonly feel different in a variety of ways. Their eyes may feel lighter, other muscles in their body may relax such as in the face, neck or shoulders, they feel mentally calmer or quieter, and various other physical or emotional sensations.
It takes as long as it takes you to learn how to identify how you're misusing your eyes and stop doing it as a matter of habit. If you're open-minded, humble, adapt to new ways of doing things, learn well on your own, and can listen to your body, you may find yourself seeing clearly more often immediately, in just days or weeks, and even notice changes in your vision in a matter of minutes or hours. This is true even if your condition is long-standing. If you lack all of these qualities, you may not ever make any progress at all. Others take months or years to recover their vision as they remain only partly committed and remain distracted by life. Be prepared to dedicate at least half an hour per day of practice, preferably with the feedback assistance of an eye chart at least some of the time, and the rest of the day you should apply what you learned during the practice time.
It depends. This is an educational process that requires you spend some time at nearly every day to make any progress. There are many cases of reversing common conditions such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, as well as correcting conditions such as strabismus. There have been cases of improvement or complete recovery from diseases of the eye such as cataract, glaucoma and inflammations. There is disagreement on precisely how these various conditions are benefited, but the common factor among them all seems to be a misuse of the eyes leading to feelings of eyestrain and tension. When people relearn to use their eyes in the correct way, the entire visual system appears to work as a cohesive unit to self-correct and promote clear vision, whatever it takes.
1. Bei fortschreitender Praxiserfahrung empfiehlt David, den Bereich der zentralen Sehaufmerksamkeit immer schneller zu verschieben (je nach "innerem Gespür"...), weil sehr schnelle Blickbewegungen aus seiner Sicht beim "normalen Sehen" grundsätzlich "normal" sind. Aus meiner Sicht und Erfahrung bedeutete die Idee, sich darauf gründend eine "Je schneller, desto besser"-Tendenz beim Praktizieren zulegen zu wollen, jedoch eine – vielleicht naheliegend erscheinende, aber dennoch – grundsätzlich falsch abgeleitete (Selbst-)Einschränkung. Nur weil man im Laufe der fortschreitenden Heilung in die Lage gerät, Blickbewegungen schneller zu vollziehen, als zu Beginn (die dennoch "sauber" vollzogen werden), bedeutet dieses zusätzliche Maß an Freiheit nicht, dass man dann auch "möglichst stets möglichst schnelle" Blickbewegungen vollziehen sollte oder etwas Ähnliches. (Weil dadurch die gerade erst zusätzlich erlangte Freiheit gleich wieder verschenkt würde.) – Man sollte stattdessen immer so langsam oder schnell "umherschauen", wie man selbst das jeweils gerade möchte, wie es jeweils gerade geht und wie es jeweils gerade sinnvoll erscheint. Auch "später" innerhalb des Lernprozesses ist "ganz langsam" vollkommen in Ordnung und schadet nicht. Im Gegenteil.

Koi Pond Sphere: What It Is and How You Should Maintain It is free HD wallpaper. This wallpaper was upload at April 5, 2017 upload by gazebo designer in Koi Pond.
There are various exclusive accessories for outdoor and indoor ponds you can choose out there. One of the most amazing ones, especially for koi pond would be Koi Pond Sphere. As the name suggests, it has the look and form of clear sphere and is meant to be used in the water. However, there is more to it than that. Also, there is proper way of cleaning it you need to know. Let's see here below.
Koi sphere for pond is not merely an accessory to be used in the pond. In fact, it is not the main purpose of the sphere to begin with. Let us tell you here that this unique innovation is actually meant to watch koi fishes closely from all sides. It is done from above water surface, of course. With it, you can make great observations of the fishes. You will surely get to know them better this way.
Of course, it is not the only thing you can benefit from this pond accessory. You know, this koi pond pearl serves like a magnifying glass. Anything you see through it will appear bigger and clearer than it really is naturally. That is why besides offering you great observations of the fishes; it also offers you the way to detect injuries to the scales of the fishes more easily. There will be no more need to get the fishes out of the pond for it.
Mainly, those are two things of Koi Pond Sphere you can benefit from. That being said, you should not forget to see it as an attractive décor of the pond as well. With the fish swimming around inside the sphere, it makes effective eye-catcher in hotels, on sale floors, at fish farms, and many other places. This sphere is usually designed with four 48-LED underwater spotlights too, offering wonderful illumination at night.
Indeed, this pond accessory needs cleaning from time to time. Well, it applies the same to other accessories as well. You don't have to worry though for it won't be as difficult as you think. In normal temperature, you can use soapy water to clean the transparent dome. Meanwhile, the cloth cover of koi pearl for pond can be simply washed out and you are done with it. Put it back again in the pond.
How about if the temperature drops below 0 degree Celsius then? When it comes to that you will need to remove the done from the pond first. Then, simply clean all parts of the pearl. Once you are done with that, you will need to store it. So, be sure to consider of keeping all the parts of Koi Pond Sphere in a dry, frost free place. This will help them clean and dry completely without letting them frozen inside the winter water. See? It really is easy. Just make sure to pay attention to temperature.
Koi Pond Sphere is an innovative pond accessory to let us make good observation, good view of fish injuries, and good eye-catcher. It is easy to maintain too. You can add this accessories in classic style of above ground koi pond and see it from modern gazebo in the backyard.

Organo-clays; permanganate adsorption; surfactants; breakthrough curve; breakthrough time; column studies.
Organo-clay was prepared by incorporating different amounts (in terms of CEC, ranging from 134–840 mg of quaternary ammonium cation (QACs) such as hexadecytrimethylammonium bromide ([C19H42N]Br) into the montmorillonite clay. Prepared organo-clays are characterized by CHN analyser and XRD to measure the amount of elemental content and interlayer spacing of surfactant modified clay. The batch experiments of sorption of permanganate from aqueous media by organo-clays was studied at different acidic strengths (pH 1–7). The experimental results show that the rate and amount of adsorption of permanganate was higher at lower pH compared to raw montmorillonite. Laboratory fixed bed experiments were conducted to evaluate the breakthrough time and nature of breakthrough curves. The shape of the breakthrough curves shows that the initial cationic surfactant loadings at 1.0 CEC of the clay is enough to enter the permanganate ions in to the interlamellar region of the surfactant modified smectile clays. These fixed bed studies were also applied to quantify the effect of bed-depth and breakthrough time during the uptake of permanganate. Calculation of thermodynamic parameters shows that the sorption of permanganate is spontaneous and follows the first order kinetics.

It is the Democracy day in Nigeria.In the light of the recent occurrences, I do not see it as a day to roll-out the drums and celebrate. While it's good to stay positive and grateful,I believe it's a perfect time to realize the objective of rescuing the Chibok girls. These were the girls kidnapped by some terrorist sect weeks ago. The #BringBackourgirls campaign is no more news. I am personally supporting the campaign on my twitter handle - @emmandus.

If you wonder why this is not about my moving to a new apartment today, that's because it is delayed till Tuesday. As far as I am concerned, it could be delayed for another ten years and I would not complain (much), despite the icy cold winters and the poor bus connections. Anyway, until then, life more or less goes on.
Today was Trade Day in Kristiansand, the city where I work.
Extremely regular readers will know that this day is a recurring temptations to two groups of people. One is the chubby women from the surrounding villages who are drawn to the super cheap (and mostly useless) goods that are on near fire sale this one day. The other is me, who is drawn to the chubby women. Even though I don't have any further designs on them, they are still a pleasant sight.
After the youthful lusts subsided a few years ago, I generally felt it was OK to look at women as long as I took care to not stare or otherwise appear suspicious. It certainly did not contradict the Golden Rule (do unto others etc). It was not like I wanted to pry them away from their husbands, if any, and mate with them myself.
However, after being exposed to a higher degree of spiritual light, I started to pay more attention to the "compass needle of the mind" as Ryuho Okawa fittingly calls it, and found that it can move greatly even when the body does not respond in the way of men. So I have recalibrated, as it were. This way, I can have the struggle of temptations all over again in my advanced age. Wheee!
Apart from whatever encouragement it may bring me personally, the movie also set a great mood for working on my JulNoWriMo novel. JulNoWriMo is like the less gifted younger cousin of NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month. Even the name is stumbling a bit: "July Novel Writing Month" does not really make much sense. But it is an excuse to write again, so I'm on it, although with the move and all, I don't expect to come anywhere near 50 000 words.
Like last NaNoWriMo, my attempt is a first-person story by a member of the TSI, the Taiyou Sorano Institute, the equivalent of Happy Science in the parallel world seen in the movie The Rebirth of Buddha, conveniently made by Happy Science. Both of my stories take place in the USA, which is not shown in the movie, so I have expanded it with features from the real-world Happy Science and my own imagination. I feel it is pretty true to the spirit of the movie though. Of course, as a fanfic I can't actually sell it or anything, so it is more like a writing exercise.
The second story is not a sequel. It features another main character with a completely different background. But of course after a summary of his earlier pathetic life, he has an encounter with the Truth and learns Master Sorano's Teachings of the Mind, and his life changes for the better. Cute girls and spiritual adventures in the Other World are waiting, but it is bedtime now.

Peter Spuij is leaving Pueblo with mixed feelings about the town.
A day after having his bicycle stolen from the Midtown post office, Spuij's trip took a turn for the better Tuesday when a pawn shop owner called Spuij to say he had his bike.
"The owner called and told me he bought my bike yesterday for $60," Spuij said. "He heard about it from reading the story in the paper. It was an amazing feeling."
The owner, who wished to remain unidentified, gave Spuij the bike.
Spuij, who's in the middle of a trans-American bike ride, said he never expected to get his bike back.
"I thought I'd never see it again, that it was gone for good," he said. "I can hardly express my feelings."
Spuij has owned the bike for more than 15 years, and he's taken it on trips throughout the world. The bike suffered a torn seat in the latest ordeal, but was mostly intact and ready to ride.
"The computer was stolen off my handlebars, but it's not that big of a deal," he said. "I couldn't wait to get it back and wash the bad experience off of it."
Spuij said he received tremendous support from the people of Pueblo, receiving phone calls throughout the day from people looking to help.
"I probably got 12 phone calls from people of this town who wanted to either give money or give me a bike to finish the trip," he said. "It's amazing how many nice and generous people there are here in Pueblo."
As for the trip, Spuij said he, along with two friends, Gordon and Hui Causby, are ready to tackle the Rocky Mountains.
"This is the part of the trip that we were most looking forward to," he said. "Now we can finally make it happen.
"If you had asked me yesterday what I thought about Pueblo, I would have said it was a horrible place," he said. "But after today, I have a new appreciation for the great people that live here."

Two swept up in Blenheim drug raid
Two Blenheim face charges following a Tuesday night drug raid in that community.
Chatham-Kent police say members of the Intelligence Section, with the assistance of the Critical Incident Response Team and the K9 Unit, executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant at a residence in Blenheim.

Marwa Sheribini was buried in her native Egypt where angry protesters condemned German Islamophobia, as did the Arab League. Elsewhere, Muslims berated the Western media's silence. Among them: Wahida Valiante, the hijab-wearing president of the Canadian Islamic Congress. Its executive director, Zijad Delic, added that if Sheribini's attacker had been a Muslim, "the media would've reported it widely. Then for days afterwards, they would deliberate the case and conclude that Muslims are `brutal and uncivilized.' But when a racist European murders an innocent woman, the silence is deafening."

Abstract. We present the WD2014 chronology for the upper part (0–2850m; 31.2kaBP) of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide (WD) ice core. The chronology is based on counting of annual layers observed in the chemical, dust and electrical conductivity records. These layers are caused by seasonal changes in the source, transport, and deposition of aerosols. The measurements were interpreted manually and with the aid of two automated methods. We validated the chronology by comparing to two high-accuracy, absolutely dated chronologies. For the Holocene, the cosmogenic isotope records of 10Be from WAIS Divide and 14C for IntCal13 demonstrated that WD2014 was consistently accurate to better than 0.5% of the age. For the glacial period, comparisons to the Hulu Cave chronology demonstrated that WD2014 had an accuracy of better than 1% of the age at three abrupt climate change events between 27 and 31ka. WD2014 has consistently younger ages than Greenland ice core chronologies during most of the Holocene. For the Younger Dryas–Preboreal transition (11.595ka; 24 years younger) and the Bølling–Allerød Warming (14.621ka; 7 years younger), WD2014 ages are within the combined uncertainties of the timescales. Given its high accuracy, WD2014 can become a reference chronology for the Southern Hemisphere, with synchronization to other chronologies feasible using high-quality proxies of volcanism, solar activity, atmospheric mineral dust, and atmospheric methane concentrations.

Here we present a chronology (WD2014) for the upper part (0–2850 m; 31.2 ka BP) of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide ice core, which is based on layer counting of distinctive annual cycles preserved in the elemental, chemical and electrical conductivity records. We validated the chronology by comparing it to independent high-accuracy, absolutely dated chronologies. Given its demonstrated high accuracy, WD2014 can become a reference chronology for the Southern Hemisphere.

Tech Giants Leading the Charge Toward Smart Cities
Ian Ritter
There is a lot of talk about smart cities that are being built, or in the works, and it could spell big changes for the commercial real estate industry.
Just as Amazon is changing the face of CRE with its purchase of Whole Foods and its expansion into other areas of physical retail real estate, as well as planning a second headquarters that will likely have smart-city elements, certain firms and organizations are now rethinking how an entire community can be built from scratch.
If they have a successful hunch, it could drastically change how offices and shopping/entertainment environments are developed in the future, and the players being mentioned for these prospects are not small names.
Bill Gates zeros in on the Phoenix area
In the case of Microsoft's co-founder and former chief executive, the focus is a planned community called Belmont. Bill Gates is dropping $80 million through an associated firm he owns called Cascade Investment for a high-tech city located in the metro's West Valley area, near the City of Tonopah.
The city is planned to have the general population size of nearby Tempe, which clocks in at just over 180,000 residents.
The focal point, according to investors, is to build infrastructure from the ground up and rethink how a city is built. This will be done by unconventional zoning, which will reportedly mix residential, data centers and other commercial uses in a less divided format than seen before in other locales. In addition, transportation will be more focused on electric cars, pedestrians and cycling. Ground-level dining and shopping should likely be a concentration if the plan comes to fruition.
Microsoft plans a city at its headquarters
Not to be outdone by its founder, Microsoft also has a smart city plan in the works at its headquarters campus in Redmond, Wash.
Though it will mainly be for employees, the redeveloped area will also have room for 8,000 others in addition to its 47,000 workers. Initial plans include 131 buildings making up separate "neighborhoods." Scattered throughout that will be retail outlets and cafes, open space for recreational activities (including cricket!) and its own light rail transportation center that is set to coincide with the opening of a new regional light rail station in 2023.
Alphabet likes Toronto
Meanwhile, Google parent Alphabet has designs on a section of the Toronto waterfront. Sidewalk Labs, Alphabet Inc.'s urban innovation organization, will spend $50 million in the Quayside neighborhood, where the firm will relocate its Canada headquarters, with about 1,000 employees.
The site, totaling 800 acres, will be focused on environmental sustainability, with an emphasis on waste reduction and pedestrian and public transportation. It would also obviously include office space, but new retail and residential development that is billed as being more affordable than current schemes.
Called Sidewalk Toronto, the mixed-use development will also have offices for companies other than Alphabet, with the encouragement of startup firms opening their doors. On the retail end, the pedestrian focus will also lead to street-level shops and restaurants.
Smart cities are already overseas
There are already smart cities in operation, with a majority of them in Europe.
However, one of the most impressive, which includes a serious commercial real estate undertaking, can be found in South Korea, just south of Seoul.
New Songdo City, in the Incheon area, is only half built so far, but it already boasts 30,000 residents and is reportedly home to 33,000 jobs. Its 1,500-acre International Business District is focused on having lower emissions than the typical city, as well as green space comprising over 40 percent of its total area.
Started in 2005, the Songdo is planned for a formidable total of 45 million square feet of office, 10 million square feet of retail, as well as plenty of residential and hotel space.
It looks like smart cities that are environmentally sustainable and tech-focused are here to stay, and commercial real estate developers will likely capitalize on this trend.

'Hush money': Government cut $20K cheque to person hired at The Rooms before Carla Foote
CBC January 8, 2020
The provincial government paid $20,000 to a marketing professional who was let go three months before Carla Foote was hired at The Rooms.
Documents obtained by CBC News through access to information requests confirm the payment came with conditions — stay silent, and don't sue the government.
The person's name was blacked out from the paperwork. They were hired by The Rooms CEO Dean Brinton before Tourism Minister Chris Mitchelmore offered the job to Foote, a longtime Liberal staffer.
Opposition Leader Ches Crosbie is not surprised the person was paid, nor that a non-disclosure agreement was included.
"The government wanted to pay hush money to get this out of the public eye," he said. "That's what happened, and there's a confidentiality clause in the agreement so of course it's all covered and shrouded in secrecy."
A spokesperson for the Department of Tourism, Culture, Industry and Innovation said Brinton was not authorized to hire the person, and thus the contract was rescinded. The spokesperson said government followed standard procedure in settling the claim.
The contract to the person — previously referred to as A.B. in the pages of a report into Mitchelmore's actions — was for nine months of work, prorated from an $85,000 annual salary.
It was for the position of marketing director.
A.B. never ended up working a day at The Rooms.
The same day Brinton let government know about the hiring, Mitchelmore's deputy minister, Ted Lomond, sent Brinton a termination letter to forward to A.B.
It had Brinton's name at the bottom and a blank space to sign his name.
For several months, Mitchelmore and his department said they had someone in mind to fill the position. Foote was hired three months after A.B. was fired.
The position was elevated to executive director of marketing at a salary of $132,000.
Brinton would later be terminated, too, leaving behind the job he'd filled for 15 years.
He left with $147,550 in salary under the dismissal clause of his contract, and an undisclosed chunk for legal fees.
Brinton also signed a non-disclosure agreement upon his departure.
Mitchelmore's involvement in the situation was later investigated by the Office of the Citizen's Representative. His role in the hiring of Foote was found to be "gross mismanagement" of taxpayer dollars.
He was suspended two weeks without pay and forced to apologize in the House of Assembly.
Candidate was highly qualified
While the identity of A.B. has not been released by the provincial government, CBC News has been able to confirm the person's resumé.
Their marketing experience goes back to the early 1990s with major marketing firms and private contracts in several countries.
They should feel that it's an assault on our democratic system. - Ches Crosbie
The person also holds a university degree — a requisite listed in job ads for the position at The Rooms, and something Foote does not have.
Premier Dwight Ball has vouched for Foote's abilities, saying she was a great fit for the position at The Rooms. However, he denied having anything to do with her hiring.
Motivation to topple government?
Sources told CBC News that Ball was once advised the Carla Foote situation would be a two-day story, but it's been one that's dogged him for more than a year.
It followed the Liberals through an election in which they lost several seats and fell to a minority government.
While "co-operation" was the buzzword in the days after the election, Crosbie isn't talking about that now.
Department of Justice and Public Safety
When asked if the Foote-Mitchelmore situation could be a push to get to the polls, Crosbie said that's up to the people of the province.
He has clear thoughts on how they should feel about this situation.
"They should feel that it's an assault on our democratic system, one of the principles of which is that government hiring is done on the basis of merit," he said.
"This takes that a step further. It takes it to the point where you can be fired if it's convenient to those in power — the Liberal government in this case — to make room for somebody they like better who is one of their own."

Question: Are there new media sites emerging that will drive innovation in media? John Temple: Yeah. I'm encouraged by that.
I look at The Daily Beast; I have The Daily Beast bookmarked. I think it's a very clever site because it's really selling a sensibility and a filter for people, plus some original content. It's like, trust me to collate the news for you, plus I'm going to give you interesting perspectives that are unique to us. And so I think it's a very clever daily online magazine, or minute by minute.
And I think GlobalPost is really exciting; and that how can I connect with the world? I mean, in ten years we should be so connected to the world that we're able to say something's happening in Georgia, the war in Georgia, that we're seeing video in much more real time than seeing perspectives that we wouldn't have seen when, say, CNN, BBC, and the American networks ruled the perspectives.
I welcome those initiatives and feel that. It's encouraging to see them happening. Video technology is so cheap today compared to what it was. Computer storage is so cheap and there's so much broadband availability. So, all these things are coming into place to allow a new world to emerge and these are some of the pioneers that you're describing.
Question: Will the legacy media brands evolve or die?John Temple: I'm actually a long-term optimistic for some of these big brands because I think some mega-national brands have to survive. It's shocking to see what's happened to the finances of The New York Times in particular. But ultimately what I wonder is whether we don't have a world where you'll have CNN.com and NYTimes.com, WallstreetJournal.com, or maybe they'll have affiliate links in all these communities so that there's actually a much deeper network. Maybe there's some kind of affiliate relationship with Wallstreet Journal that would work where a local business paper would have the benefits of the Wallstreet Journal, would not have to duplicate what they do, but would provide that level of coverage in the Denver area, but wouldn't have to try to any of the other stuff.
USA Today I think is positioned to do that same thing with USAToday.com. What I could see is almost like a mega-brand world with franchises in the markets and I would actually be interested to see if somebody would experiment along that line because I think that you could really reduce your overall cost in the market if you stripped away all these national responsibilities.
Question: How can newspaper franchising work?John Temple: To me it is. I was riding the subway today in New York with a woman who is reading an eight and a half by 11 version of The New York Times; very easy to read on a subway right?
In this case, let's pretend that that New York Times was now in Denver, why would it come to my house in Denver with a four page wrap-up? And I don't have to do major baseball except the Colorado Rockies. What is the value I'm adding to the customer? I don't see it. I see that that's a model that I would really like to see explored. And the problem right now is these mega-companies are so financially hammered that it's hard to see them investing in these kinds of experiments because they can't risk the capital, is what it feels like. But to me, the logical model is some of these affiliate relationships that benefit both sides.
Question: Will you miss long-form newspaper writing?John Temple: I love newspapers and I love putting together stories and packages that I know are really going to impact people and touch people.
What I wonder is maybe we could do more of that if we let the noise of some of the other stuff go away and we said to ourselves, okay, instead of producing seven day newspaper in Denver, two days a week, you get a beautifully written on Sunday. Really lively and sprightly and incredibly good writing and maybe I'll give you the same on Wednesday or Friday. For the rest of the week, there's nothing delivered to your house, there might be a three 24 page section, or else a very expensive 24 page section that the customer wants. But it's not delivered to your house because that's very expensive to drive down every street, everyday and to run the printing presses that way. But I'm delivering your fax machine at home, or on your Kindle, or I'm doing electronics delivery the other day, so I'm really reducing my cost, I'm putting the advertising OMF, where the advertising belongs.
And I think if we did that, maybe we could elevate newspaper writing because while you're right that there's wonderful newspaper writing, there's also very pedestrian newspaper writing and couldn't we be honest about being pedestrian.
All you need to know is some road open up and cars can drive on it again today. Well, we don't have to make that elegant, it needs to be quick and informative and then the story of, let's say, the Afghan refugee making a home in New York is rich and deep, it has a video component, is well written, you can talk and communicate with the person. If we could get to that kind of world, I would find that very exciting and I think its possible to have both.

Columbia Sportswear is unveiling the new Challenger™ Jacket, Star Wars™ Force Editions, inspired by the ultimate battle between the light side and the dark side of the Force.

These timeless pieces will be available on columbia.com/StarWars starting at 12:01am EST on Dec. 6 and in-store at Columbia-branded retail locations in the U.S., Canada, Hong Kong SAR, and U.K. The Columbia jackets are unisex styles and will be sold for $200 USD, while supplies last.
Fans interested in taking this experience to the next level can purchase one of only 25 jackets signed by Mark Hamill, who famously portrays Luke Skywalker.

These coveted signed jackets will be sold only at Columbia-branded retail locations in New York, NY; Buena Vista, FL; Downtown Portland Flagship, OR; Minneapolis, MN; and Seattle, WA.
The design of the Star Wars Force themed jackets includes nods to Aurebesh, the primary language in the Star Wars galaxy. The coded messages in the jackets translate to "May the Force be with you" in the light side rebel alliance style, and "You underestimate the power of the dark side," in the dark side Imperial version. Other Aurebesh messages include vehicle identification numbers for Luke Skywalker's X-wing Fighter as well as the Death Star.
The anorak-style jackets are a Columbia heritage style dating back to the '90s, and the team worked closely with Lucasfilm to incorporate features inspired by the Star Wars saga – specifically Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. The lining of each jacket matches both of the characters' legendary lightsabers, which appear in the graphics. No detail was spared, even down to each lightsaber's specific kyber crystal, which lies at the core of every Jedi or Sith lightsaber.
Additional features include a Rebel/light side or Imperial/dark side chest patch, a mesh sleeve pocket, zippered hand pockets, kangaroo pouch, and side-entry zip that provide extra utility while the adjustable hood, cuffs and hem deliver a just-right fit.
Stylish and made for everyday wear, these special-edition jackets honor Columbia's DNA with its Omni- TECH™ waterproof-breathable shell and synthetic insulation that will keep fans warm and dry in all weather conditions.

1 restaurants closed in Tarrant County health inspections
In 98 recent health inspections across Tarrant County, one restaurant was closed.
Inspections ran from May 22-28 and were conducted for food establishments in Tarrant County besides those in Fort Worth, Arlington, North Richland Hills and Euless, all of which conduct their own inspections.
No local food establishments scored over 29 demerits, which would require the restaurant to have a followup inspection.
However, Bread and Butter Breakfast Bistro, located at 122 S. Tarrant St., which scored a 15, had its facility permit temporarily suspended after inspectors saw the walk-in cooler was malfunctioning.
The establishment had its followup inspection the following day and reopened with a perfect score.
Moe's Country Kitchen, located at 316 W. Main St. in Azle, scored the worst of the 98 restaurants, with a 24.
The "home-cooking cafe" was cited for a dirty kitchen. Inspectors told the restaurant that it needed to conduct a deep cleaning of the whole kitchen after observing a live roach on the wall. They were also advised to call pest control immediately.
The Wounded Duck, located at 750 E. Pipeline Road in Hurst, scored a 20, and was cited for a repeat violation from last year. The restaurant had inadequate hot water in its restrooms and was given a deadline to fix the problem.
