Last weekend, the best tankers from Europe and the CIS were clashing in the latest installment of our Clan Scuffle. After their victory in Moscow last December, the FAME clan had to defend their crown of best World of Tanks clan against determined CIS commanders.
And determined, they were for sure. TONADO came with a vengeance and won the first 4 games against our champions, thanks to an aggressive strategy. But pride almost preceded a fall. Too confident in their skills, the commanders from the CIS actually let FAME come back to 3 wins against 4. That's when the adrenaline kicked back form TORNADO, who won 5 to 3, in the end.
An unusual and yet epic turn, but let's not forgot the performance of TRVST, our second European clan. They were facing a CIS team for the first time, and although they lost, they showed some serious skills, and we're pretty sure they will come back stronger than ever.
Check this out and more great twists with the video above, and make sure to check the portal for more information on the next tournaments.

National Register Narrative
The Jasper County Courthouse is the product of three separate building campaigns which reflect the enlargement of the original masonry structure to meet increased demands for county office space. The original structure, which is Italianate in character, is flanked to the east and west by additions made in 1934, while a further addition was made to the east in 1960. The original structure was stuccoed in 1934, and its roof was simplified.
Located in the center of a heavily wooded square in the center of Jasper, the Jasper County Courthouse comprises four distinct building units. The central block, the original structure erected in 1889-90, is a two-story masonry building with a stucco exterior finish. The north and south elevations have not been encumbered by later additions, and are divided into five bays. The end bays and the central bay project out from the mass of the building slightly to form pavilions, with the second and fourth bays being slightly recessed. The main entrances to the original structure are framed by round-arch openings with heavy stucco moldings. The fenestration of the first floor consists of round-arch windows with double-hung wooden sashes. The second-floor openings are primarily of the round arch type, with two segmentally arched openings appearing in the lower section of the end bays of the second floor. The large, round-arch opening centered above the main entrances features the same heavy stucco moldings noted below above the doorways. The original courthouse block is capped off with a simple bracketed cornice, and pediments are set above the central bays of both the north and south elevations.
In 1934, the courthouse was expanded to the east and west in the form of two matching additions. These additions are two stories high, five bays wide, and three bays deep. Their fenestration uses round-arch openings on the first floor and square-headed openings on the second. These sections are otherwise devoid of ornamentation. While these additions did cause the loss of much original fabric on the east and west sides of the original structure, the additions are low and left the original cornice of the 1889-90 structure undisturbed. In the building campaign which resulted in the construction of the two additions, the exterior of the original building was modified. The brick exterior walls were faced with stucco and the roof was simplified slightly. In 1957, the clock tower atop the main building was taken down for repairs and never reconstructed.
In 1960, a further addition was made to the east of the courthouse. This most recent addition, which is referred to as the Jasper County Building, is connected to the rest of the complex by a single-story hyphen. The structure itself is three stories high, and its first floor is cut into the slope of the land. The 1960 addition uses round-arch fenestration on the second floor, with square-headed openings on the first and third floors.
While the photographs submitted with the nomination of this property were taken in 1977, it was confirmed in discussions with the office of the County Clerk that no significant alterations have been made since that date to the fabric of the courthouse. Thus the photos are still current. The courthouse is still occupied by various county offices, and the county courtroom is located on the second floor of the 1889-90 central block.
By virtue of its close associations since the late 19th century with the actions of the government of Jasper County, the Jasper County Courthouse is of great importance in the political history of the area. The continued growth and expansion of county services in the 20th century is reflected by the enlargement of the structure in the 1930s and, finally, in 1960.
Jasper County is one of the 23 original counties of the Republic of Texas, and was established in 1836. It is located in east Texas and bounded on the west by the Neches River. The original eastern boundary of the county was the Sabine River, but that boundary was shifted west by the creation of Newton County in 1846. The rich soil and ready access to river transport were major factors that contributed to the growth of agriculture as the chief economic activity of Jasper County. Sheep ranching was also important, and lumber interests made use of the Neches River to transport their materials to Beaumont for sale.
Jasper was selected as the county seat in 1838, and by 1857 it had a population of 400. The first courthouse, a two room log cabin, was destroyed by fire in 1849 and replaced by a two-story frame structure designed and built by L.O. Mattingly. Forty years later, work began on the original section of the present courthouse, with the design being prepared by the architect E.T. Heiner.
When the functions of county government dictated the need for additional office space, the decision was made in 1934 simply to add more space to the existing structure, and not demolish the outdated building and start over with an entirely new edifice. Thus the political activities long associated with the structure designed by Heiner were allowed to continue in their original building. The county courtroom, located on the second floor of the 1889-90 building, is perhaps the building's most important space in terms of its political associations with past county judges.
With the additions that have been made to the fabric of the original courthouse structure, it is apparent that the Jasper County Courthouse will be able to meet the needs of county government for the foreseeable future.

It is estimated that approximately 186 million people all over the planet speak Arabic. This makes it the sixth most popular language in the world. Moreover, it is used by a major part of the global Muslim population, since it is the language of the Holy Quran. Therefore its importance can never be underestimated. As such, Arabic translation is required for medical, legal, financial, technical, and marketing purposes. It is also required for web-content translations.
Arabic translation requires understanding certain fundamental factors which are peculiar to the language. These are –
Arabic is written from right side to the left side of a page.
Arabic is written in two forms, one is called Classical Arabic and the other Modern Standard Arabic. A language translator should work in the form which is most appropriate to the nature of the document. Like religious or cultural content should preferably be written in Classic Arabic, while business related documents should be rendered in Modern Standard Arabic.
All letters in written Arabic are aligned to each other in such a manner that they cannot be split across different lines.
The Arabic script employs various symbols that emphasize different sounds. These symbols are combined with letters to convey the intended meaning. As such Arabic translation requires paying attention to very minute details.
Due to the fact that Arabic is written from right to left, the positioning of images on a page is also influenced and so is the numbering of pages.
Arabic letters take up more space than English ones, so in English to Arabic translation the translated document would most likely have more pages than the original.
On a more subjective level, there is the issue of Domestication and Foreignization. When an English to Arabic translation professional alters the source language to make it more comprehensible for the targeted readers, it is termed as domestication. On the other hand, when a language translation expert does not alter the values of the source language, instead choosing to make them prominent in the targeted language document, then the translated document, appears to have influences of the source language. This is termed as foreignization.
These two methods have attracted a lot of debate among language translation theorists since a long time. It has been found that a majority of the publishers prefer domestication because it makes the translated documents reader friendly. However since the values of the source language are somewhat altered, the author or owners of the original documents prefer foreignization.

Q: retrieve keys values from post I have a contact form posting a name, email address and message. I want to retrieve the values and send as an email.
Here is my code:
<?php

foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
{
  $key = $value;
}

$subject = "Website Contact Form";
$sender = $email;
$bccemail = $adminemail;
$receiver = $adminemail;

if(isset($name) and isset($email) and isset($sender) and isset($receiver) and isset($subject) ) {

$ToEmail = $receiver;

$mailheader = "From: " .$sender."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Bcc: " .$bccemail."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$sender."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

$message_body = "
Name: " . $name . "
";
$message_body .= "Email:  " . $sender . "
";
$message_body .= $message . "
";

if(@mail($ToEmail, $subject, $message_body, $mailheader))
{
    echo "Success";
} else {
    echo "Error";
}

} else {
    echo "Big Error";
}
?>

From this I get echoed - "Big Error".
If I echo...
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
{
    echo "Key: $key
\n";
    echo "Value: $value
\n";
}

Then I get
Key: name
Value: Jake
Key: email
Value: jake@email.com
Key: message
Value: This is the message
So I know the form data is being posted.
If I put the variables into the php like so..
$name = "Jake";
$email = "jake@email.com";
$message = "This is the message";

Then is works.
So I know it is something to do with retrieving the form data from the array.

A: Looks like you're trying to do shorthand assignment for the quick and easy, which is fine, but you need to use extract() instead.
extract($_POST);

In this case, the key will be the variable name, so you can do
echo $name;
echo $email;
echo $message;

Otherwise, you just need to do assignment.
$name= isset($_POST['name'])?:false;
$email = isset($_POST['email'])?:false;
$message= isset($_POST['message'])?:false;

Using either of the above, you can then make your conditional shorter:
if($name && $email && $message):
    //successful
else:
    //failure
endif;

A: extract($_POST, EXTR_SKIP);

EXTR_SKIP -  If there is a collision, don't overwrite the existing variable.
Do not use extract() on untrusted data, like user input (i.e. $_GET, $_FILES, etc.). If you do, for example if you want to run old code that relies on register_globals temporarily, make sure you use one of the non-overwriting flags values such as EXTR_SKIP and be aware that you should extract in the same order that's defined in variables_order within the php.ini.

I'm a Senior at Mississippi State and I've Never Seen a Winning Men's Basketball Season
I enrolled in the fall of 2013. It's now the spring of 2017. Still no winning season for me.
By EthanLee@leeethanj Mar 9, 2017, 7:05pm EST
Share All sharing options for: I'm a Senior at Mississippi State and I've Never Seen a Winning Men's Basketball Season
Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports
I'm Ethan Lee. Most of y'all know that, but some of you may not. I also happen to be a senior at Mississippi State University. I'm hoping that most of y'all didn't know that until now because that'd be a little odd.
I've seen a lot of cool things in my time here in Starkville.
The football team became #1 in the nation during my sophomore year. The baseball team won the SEC a year ago and had some considerable success in my four years here. The women's basketball team made a historic run last season and is primed to make another one this year. And that's just a short list among a ton of success from other sports on campus such as the softball team and the track and field folks.
But I've never seen a winning season from the men's basketball team.
14-19 in 2013 to 2014 during the second year of Rick Ray. 13-19 in 2014 through 2015 in Ray's third and final season. 14-17 in Ben Howland's first year, last year. And now, 16-16 this season.
Not one winning record.
I've sat in the Hump at games where I had an entire section of seats to myself, and though I was almost alone in the empty coliseum, I was far from being the only fan in a section where there were no other fans.
And because the team wasn't winning, fans didn't show up. And the Hump has remained empty.
There's been progress, sure. I don't mean to say that there hasn't. This team that just wrapped up their season has an immense amount of talent. And guys like IJ Ready, a senior that also hasn't seen a winning season, gave plenty for Mississippi State, sticking it out for the Maroon and White no matter what. And I'm thankful for players like Ready. Give thanks for IJ, as my friend Chief Dragon Canoe would say.
But I'm ready for wins too. I like seeing wins.
Not that I can force them to happen. I'm just a fan and a writer and a senior and stuff. I can't do anything. That's the team's thing. They can make wins happen. I just have to sit back and watch.
Was sitting back and watching disappointing at times? Yeah. I think anybody that has watched Mississippi State basketball these past few years would openly acknowledge how painful these seasons have been. I'm numb to not having a winning record, in all honesty.
But I'm also optimistic about what next year may hold. If Ben Howland's history is any indicator, we should be primed for a considerably better season next year. I'd love to see this team make a run to the tournament and for fans to flock back to the Hump.
Even if MSU isn't hugely successful next season, they should have a winning season and, at minimum a berth in the NIT. I'd accept that. I'd be happy with that.
Mostly because I've never seen a winning season as a Mississippi State student.

ATLANTA -- After an unbeaten run through the Southeastern Conference, top-ranked Florida reaped its rewards Monday. Scottie Wilbekin was picked as The Associated Press Southeastern Conference player of the year, while Billy Donovan took the coaching honour for the second season in a row. Kentucky freshman Julius Randle was selected as newcomer of the year. The AP awards were announced one day after Florida defeated Kentucky 61-60 in the championship game of the SEC tournament. The Gators (32-2) were named top overall seed in the NCAAs and will open against either Albany or Mount St. Marys in the South Regional. Wilbekin and Randle were unanimous choices to the All-SEC first team, joined by Tennessee forward Jarnell Stokes, Florida forward Casey Prather and Missouri guard Jabari Brown. Wilbekin averaged 13 points and 3.8 assists a game. More important, the 6-foot-2 senior guard was the unquestioned leader for the Gators at both ends of the court, making amends from two suspensions that threatened his future with the program. He missed the first five games this season for an undisclosed violation of team rules, after behind held out the first three games the previous year. "I think when he went through that, our guys were like, OK, it happened one time, blah, blah, blah. But now it happens again, guys start pulling back, saying, OK, man, is this guy about us? Does this guy even care about us or our team?" Donovan said. Wilbekin worked hard to rebuild the relationship with his teammates, and it showed on the court. "He had to go through a long process of showing these guys that he cares and hes committed to them," Donovan said. "I think once he got through the end of that process, I think our guys kind of put their arms around him and were like, Wow, coach made this guy go through a lot. A lot of that had to do with me wanting to help him restore his credibility inside the team, and he had to do that and hes grown from that on and off the court." Wilbekin was named MVP of the SEC tournament. During hard-fought wins in both the semifinals and final, he would gather the team around him when things werent going Floridas way. "Coach cant talk to us all the time," he said, "so we try to huddle ourselves and say the right things among ourselves." Donovan repeated as coach of the year with Florida becoming the first team to go 18-0 in SEC games during the regular season. The Gators won three more games at the Georgia Dome this past weekend for their first tournament title since 2007. "Anytime you get those coaching honours or coaching awards, a lot of it is because youve got a good group and theyve done a great job," Donovan said. "I do think that when individual awards come out, its much, much more of a reflection of the people around you. Even with Scotties award, Id say the same thing. Its more of a reflection of the people around him. I think for me, its the players and the coaching staff, the people I have around me." Randle emerged as the top player from Kentuckys latest group of heralded freshmen. While some thought the Wildcats (24-10) underachieved -- after all, they started the season No. 1 and there was even speculation about whether they could go unbeaten -- the 6-foot-9 Randle led the conference in rebounding (10.5 a game) and ranked 10th in scoring (15.0). Kentucky was seeded eighth in the NCAAs and will open Friday against Kansas State in the Midwest Regional. "I feel like our chemistry is getting better," Randle said. "Were becoming a better team, getting better every game." Stokes, a 6-8 junior forward, helped Tennessee (21-12) join Florida and Kentucky as the only SEC schools in the 68-team NCAA field, ranking second to Randle in rebounding (10.3) and 12th in scoring (14.7). The Vols will face Iowa on Wednesday in a first-round game at Dayton. Prather was another of Floridas senior leaders. The 6-6 forward paced the Gators in scoring at 14.2 points per game. Brown, a 6-5 junior guard, led the SEC in scoring with an average of 19.8 points. Florida landed another player on the All-SEC second team: senior centre Patric Young. He was joined by Tennessee forward Jordan McRae, Alabama guard Trevor Releford and a pair of LSU forwards, Johnny OBryant III and Jordan Mickey. McRae and Releford both slipped to the second team after making the top squad in 2013. The 66th annual AP All-SEC team was selected by a 12-member regional media panel.

Baylor has quietly gone about its business this season, winning 11 of its first 12 games, including the last six in a row. The latest triumph came in a 92-51 rout of visiting Norfolk State this past Tuesday, running the Bears home record to a perfect 8-0. BU, which has a 62-54 loss to Illinois on a neutral court as its only blemish on the campaign, is 2-0 in true road games. Oklahoma has claimed victory in two straight and in nine of its 12 games this season overall. The Sooners took down visiting George Mason on New Years Eve, 61-43, to move to 6-0 at home. OUs three losses this season have come against quality opponents in Creighton (65-63), Wisconsin (69-56) and Washington (69-67). Oklahoma leads the all-time series with Baylor, 41-11, which includes a 20-4 mark in Norman. As expected, Baylor had little trouble disposing of Norfolk State the last time out. The Bears hit half of their total shots, which included an 8-of-19 showing from 3-point range, while holding the overmatched Spartans to 33.3 percent field goal efficiency and only 29.4 percent beyond the arc (5-of-17). A massive 46-31 rebounding advantage helped BUs cause, as did the fact that NSU committed 18 turnovers. Royce ONeal paced the Bears with 23 points, while Rico Gathers, Taurean Prince and Al Freeman tallied 13 points apiece. Gathers actually finished with a double-double as he also grabbed 11 rebounds. Kenny Chery and Lester Medford dished out seven assists apiece forr the winning side.dddddddddddd Prince leads the Bears in scoring with 11.5 ppg, while ONeal and Gathers are close behind at 10.8 and 10.1 ppg, respectively. Gathers spearheads the units effort on the glass with 10.5 ppg, the team as a whole checking in with a rebounding margin of +11.8. Baylor is scoring 70.6 ppg while allowing only 54.7 ppg. The teams stifling defensive effort permits foes only 37.4 percent success on field goal attempts, and a paltry 26.8 percent from 3-point land. Baylor is the only team in the country to hold all of its opponents to 66 points or fewer this season. Buddy Hield scored 17 points, the majority of which came in the opening half, as Oklahoma whipped George Mason earlier in the week by nearly 20 points. It wasnt the best offensive performance by the team, as the Sooners hit only 39.3 percent of their total shots, missing the mark on 11 of their 15 3-point tries along the way. A 13-7 edge in points from the foul line helped, as did a 47-38 advantage on the boards. Isaiah Cousins was the only other player to score in double figures for OU, as he tallied 11 points. Hield continues to pace the Sooners in netting 15.7 ppg, thanks to a near 40 percent effort from beyond the arc. Cousins (13.0 ppg, 6.2 rpg), TaShawn Thomas (10.8 ppg, 5.2 rpg) and Ryan Spangler (10.0 ppg, 8.4 rpg) round out the double-digit scorers for an Oklahoma squad that produces 74 ppg while allowing only 59.4 ppg. The teams superb defensive effort results in foes shooting just 35.9 percent from the floor, 27.6 percent from downtown, and sees them turn the ball over an average of 14.7 times per outing. ' ' '

Actually I don't like the word B-artists, but that is what they are called in Dutch.
There is probably a better term in English, but I don't know that. In the marginal regions of the amusement culture there are many people trying to become famous, make some money or just having a good time with whatever they are doing.
Harrie Berkhout unearthed a large collection of promotion cards for such artists that operated in the part of Holland where I live. It is unclear whether this collection comes from a collector or from some sort of agency.
The pictures are from a period between the early seventies and the late eighties, and they are not only of musicians, although most of them are. There are also clowns, acrobats and anything you can (or cannot) imagine. I took the photos home and carefully watched all of them closely, in little doses, to avoid being overwhelmed with sadness.
In my life I have seen many of such acts or artists or whatever they are called. This is what you get to see on wedding parties, local festivals and such. I have seen some of such acts that surprised me with great music or a interesting show, but much of what I have seen in this category was not a very pleasant experience.
I remember for example that the soccer team, where I played in a few years ago, was treated on a whole show with such acts, in a party centre that looked like a very fake nightclub. We got to see a Blues Brothers imitation, a belly dancer with a real snake, a striptease act and a two man latin band (the same guys as the Blues Brothers; just as the belly dancer and the lady who did the striptease were one and the same). Of course we also got a dinner and lots of alcohol.
I remember that halfway the evening I sank in a depression so deep that I could not imagine that Hell could be worse than that place. But the rest of the team either enjoyed themselves or was too drunk to notice.
I have many records from artists that operate in the same sector as the people on these promotion photos. I can enjoy listening to these records. I find it very different from sitting in an audience and having to watch it. Not much of these records get much playing time at my home, but I collect them with great enthusiasm. For today's Soundtrack I picked a 45 by a guy named Willy Sarphati, singing Ik zit op een kameel . If you are interested in trading material like this, you know where you can find me.

Dénes Rósa, född 7 april 1977 i Budapest, är en ungersk fotbollsspelare.

Spelarkarriär
Han spelade i ett flertal klubbar i Ungern innan han hamnade i Ferencváros där han vann både ligan och cupen 2004. Han spelade nio matcher, och gjorde sex mål i olika europeiska cuper, under sin tid i klubben.

Han lånades ut till den engelska fotbollsklubben Wolverhampton Wanderers i januari 2006, på ett sex månaders provkontrakt. Sedan tidigare fanns hans gamla lagkompis från Ferencváros Gábor Gyepes redan där. Hans debut för Wolves var den 2 januari 2006 i 2–0-förlusten mot Coventry City, han spelade nio matcher under resten av säsongen och gjorde två mål.

Hans spel gjorde att klubben skrev ett treårskontrakt med honom i slutet av säsongen. Strax efter att han skrivit på för Wolves avgick Glenn Hoddle och Mick McCarthy utnämndes till manager istället vilket gjorde att han hamnade utanför startelvan. McCarthy har sagt att Rosa måste kämpa för att ta en plats.

Våren 2007 lånades han ut till Cheltenham Town en månad, där spelade han tre matcher innan han återvände till Wolves  som satte upp honom på transferlistan.

FORTY YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS OF RANAW FORMS ADVOCACY GROUP FOR MORAL GOVERNANCE
by Ismael Kulat | Nov 11, 2021 | Feature, News, Resources | 0 comments
The commitment of the youth organizations of Lanao del Sur and Marawi City was contained in their Statement after the two-
day Training-Workshop held at Ragayan Training Center, Maradeca, Maranatao, Lanao del Sur on November 2-3, 2021.
Their commitment was made after Dr. Abdulsalam Disomimba, Faculty of Islamic Studies, King Faisal Center for Islamic, Arabic and Asian Studies Mindanao State University Marawi City expounded on the Principles of Moral Governance. On the other hand Mike Kulat, CBCS Senior Program Officer gave the participants overview of the Bangsamoro struggle and its incremental success as well as the milestones and challenges of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA).
The above presentations encourage the youth organizations to continue their support and campaign by saying: "After having become aware of the value of Moral Governance, we agreed to form ourselves into an Advocacy Campaign Group for Moral Governance in Lanao Del Sur."
"We do hereby declare our continuing accompaniment of the implementation of the signed peace agreement and our affirmation of commitment in supporting peace and development in the Bangsamoro, to wit:
"We will continue to serve as active guardians in the pursuit of moral governance as expression of our moral obligation and our commitment to public service in the Bangsamoro;"
During the workshop sessions, the participants identified their priority concerns under five thematic areas such as: 1) Peace and Security Issues 2) Socio-Economic and Development Agenda 3) Moral Governance promotion 4) Social Cohesion Intervention and 5) Human Rights Concerns. The above identified priority issues are their agreed programs in accompaniment of the BTA during their another three-year term extension.
Each of these thematic areas is accompanied by their alternative courses of action and the object of their advocacy naming the proper agencies where to address their recommendations and proposals.
This because they said: "We consider as part of our obligations to organize and empower active citizenry who will help promote the value of moral governance and inclusive development." And that: "We are committed to serve as an instrument of our people, especially the poor rural communities, in promoting their socio-economic development and well-being." Further, "We commit ourselves to work with the regional government and local government units through the principle of constructive engagement and meaningful partnership", the statement stated.

If you want to enjoy ultimate excitement in four wheels then go for any of the ATVs by Kawasaki. The company specializes in both Sport as well as Sport Utility ATVs. The ATVs are smart, stylish and provide excellent performance and all of these are made keeping in mind the comfort and the needs of the adventure lovers as well as the racers. The company has also incorporated safety measures in these models making them absolutely safe for the riders. What more, Kawasaki has also come up with ATVs especially designed for kids.
KFX 700: If you want to have a model of ATV in the colors like Galaxy Silver, Meteor Blue or Kawasaki Lime Green then this is the right one for you. This model has a 697 cc engine and the fuel capacity is of 3.2 gallons.
Brute Force: This blue model brought out by Kawasaki in the year 2007 has a 633 cc 4 stroke engine with a fuel capacity of 5.4 gallons. It also has an electric starter for your comfort as well as selectable four wheel drive.
Prairie: This ATV by Kawasaki comes with 362 cc 4 stroke, single cylinder engine and the fuel capacity is 3.6 gallons. It also has an electric starter and dual hydraulic disc brakes in front.
Bayour: This model by Kawasaki is another excellent option for those who love ATVs. This model boasts of 228 cc 4 stroke engine and the fuel capacity of 2.6 gallons.
KFX 50: Keeping in mind the needs of the kids Kawasaki came up with this model. It is designed for the kids who are aged about 5 -11 years. It has a 4 stroke engine of 49.5 cc and the fuel capacity is of 1.5 gallons.
KFX 90: This is another model for the kids introduced by Kawasaki. This is designed for the kids who are aged 12 years and above. Here you would also find a 4 stroke 89 cc engine with a fuel capacity of 1.5 gallons.
There are subtle differences between these two abovementioned ATVs for kids and one of the main differences is in the rear grab bar. It is present in the KFX 50 and not in the KFX 90.
In the year 2008 the winning model by Kawasaki is the KFX 450R. This is a highly advanced machine made for you so that you can win the races. Here you would get a 4 stroke 449 cc engine with electric starting. This sport ATV is available in the colors Bright White and Super Black and comes with varieties of accessories.

"Barking at Yesterday's Moon" is online. Another chapter in my writing life has closed and it's time to start anew. While there is still a lot of work to do with getting some exposure and working a bit of marketing I can't bring myself to not have a Word document open. I have to be working on something and my read-through of the Kindle version of "Barking at Yesterday's Moon" provided me with another storyline. It involves some of the 'walk-on' characters from one of the scenes.
Being 'walk-ons' in no way diminished their importance to the storyline. The roles they played, while not central figures, provided insight into the main characters and created some interesting scenes. One character in particular made his appearance early in the book, created a little havoc then disappeared. The more I thought about this man the more I realized there is a story behind who and what he is and how he got there. I decided to flesh out his story and it came surprisingly easy.
Unless you have read "Barking at Yesterday's Moon" the name Fergus Lloyd would mean nothing. If you have read it then you already have an opinion of Fergus and what he is all about. As in reality and with real people an opinion based on first impression is often wrong. The well-spoken, well-dressed banker might have some questionable material on his computer and that street person might have a heart of gold. You just never know what's behind their public faces. Fergus wasn't always the Fergus that confronted Evan and exploring his life has provided some interesting research and excitingly addictive writing.
From the outset of the first draft I had to expand my comfort zone. I prefer to write light and with a sometimes questionable sense of humor and while there are some lighter moments in this story there is also an underlying darkness. This was a challenge for me and a welcome brain-teaser. Then came the scene that I believed would be the pivotal point of the story. Without getting into detail the young boy discovers something horrific in the woods and all his childhood nightmares come back and…never mind. I've already said too much.
Suffice to say that this scene completely ripped me out of my comfort zone and threw me headfirst into the horror/psychological terror genre, one that I've never explored. Blood, gore, and childhood nightmares wreak havoc with my usual style of writing and way of thinking. After I wrote it I would wake at night and think about it. Each time I rehashed it in my mind I became less impressed. It sounded forced, manipulative, and not at all like me. A week later I wrote an alternate scene where someone else stumbles on the terror and relays it second hand in a more sterile manner. I was more at ease with the revision and I sentenced the original storyline to life in my 'not used' folder and continued writing.
One of the elements of writing a story based on a previously introduced character is maintaining continuity with the original. That wasn't all that difficult in this case but as the new story progressed I realized that I was missing something. The emotional development (or destruction) of this character wasn't strong enough to result in the character traits featured in "Barking at Yesterday's Moon". The crisis, real or imagined, that set him on my created path hadn't occurred. I opened up my 'not used' file, read the original scene and knew that it had to be included. I also learned the value of putting something aside and revisiting it later. I actually like what I wrote back then and with a little work it will become that pivotal scene. It just goes to show the value of never throwing anything away.
On a side note: My age is showing…I welcomed my seventh grandchild into this world on September 3, 2015. Mum and son are doing well.


Although it's still too early in the winter season for a snow day, sometimes I like to dream about those blissful days of nothingness, where only I get to decide what to do. Once upon a time, I would go outside and play in the mounds of ice and slush, but now, my snow pants don't fit, and I must find something else to occupy my time.
It's usually at those points that I look at my overflowing bookshelves and realize that I haven't read half of them, and that it would be a good plan to get started. Occasionally, I instead laugh and continue watching Netflix, or stare at the wall, but sometimes I fake productivity and decide to read.
Since you're trapped indoors, it's wise to pick up something suspenseful, if not mildly horrifying, to devour while sandwiched beneath the safety of several warm blankets.
Here are 5 winter thrillers to convince your brain that yes, you've done real work today!
A team of scientists in the Arctic attempting to send a piece of a polar icecap adrift find themselves drifting away on a bunch of explosives after a freak series of earthquakes, but wildly enough, being blown to bits and dying of hypothermia aren't their only issues. Among the crew is an assassin, picking off the other scientists one by one, and with time and the elements against them, it's anyone's guess as to who will survive.
Originally published as "Prison of Ice" in 1976 under Koontz's pseudonym, David Axton, this winter-y thriller is an intense whodunit that avoids getting overly technical in its jargon, allowing it to maintain the important aspect: the mystery.
Freddie Watson is running from his ghosts, and his journey has now placed him in the French Pyrenees in the dead of winter in 1928. When he wrecks his car on the side of the mountain during a snowstorm, he wanders into the near village to take refuge, and he stumbles upon a town with a dark secret.
With the help of town native Fabrissa, the duo unravel histories almost lost to time, even though it's unclear if they should see the light of day. Mosse's winter-based novel takes some time for the mystery and thrills to appear, but the mood she builds up is perfectly chilling for a snowy day.
Fans of movies such as "Outbreak" and "Contagion" will find themselves at home within Follett's "Whiteout." It's Christmas Eve in Scotland, and a medical lab has a slight problem: a canister containing a deadly virus is missing.
However, the director of the research company, Stanley Oxenford, thinks he has discovered the cure, leading his family members to dream of the money they could make selling it. Meanwhile, security guard Toni Gallo's only goal is to keep the drug safe, though neither Oxenford nor Gallo realize who's coming for the cure or what they have in store for it. As someone who is easily freaked out by mystery diseases, "Whiteout" did an excellent job of dragging the suspense out while keeping the plot moving.
In 1847, the Franklin Expedition goes missing while searching for the Northwest Passage. But before they drop off the map, the men appear to be going insane, running about in little clothing despite the freezing temperatures. Switching to present day, Dirk Pitt, his children and Al Giordino are on the search to stop global warming when they come across the ship and its former inhabitants.
Mysteriously, these deaths in the Arctic might be the key to halt irreversible damage to the Earth, if only they can figure out what happened in time. Cussler's "Dirk Pitt" books have a knack for delivering fast-paced adventure and lighthearted wit even within the thrilling mysteries and high stakes, so if you want something more fun, look no further.
I might be stretching the title of winter thriller for Shelley's grotesque creation, but it's a frame narrative that takes place both in the frozen arctic and brings horror to life — literally. So, I give you this groundbreaking novel.
For those of you who didn't have to read it in a high school literature class, the young university student Victor Frankenstein recounts his life story to Captain Walton, whose expedition he comes across in the Arctic while in pursuit of his monster, and his tragic story takes up most of the novel.
Frankenstein animates his Creature, as he calls him, and because of the Creature's grotesque features, he abandons it and deals with his own grief among his family, as his mother had just died, and his nanny was hanged on the charge of murder. For Frankenstein, that's only the beginning of his tragedies.
The Creature, however, experiences a different sort of grief as people fear his appearance, which eventually drives him to becoming the monster that everyone believes him to be, despite his truly human-esque thoughts and feelings.
Whether or not you live in a climate that brings you a yearly snowfall (or a snow-dumping, in some cases), these books will transport you out of your home and into the terrifying winter chill without the frostbite or snow boots. Hopefully one of the books on this list can fulfill your darker side, or at least give a break to the merry holiday cheer, making even Scrooge smile.

DOVER, Del. (Oct. 4, 2015) – After starting 27th for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Dover International Speedway, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. drove his Fastenal Ford to an eighth-place finish earning his second top-10 finish of the 2015 NSCS season.
With qualifying being rained out on Friday, the starting lineup was set by the NASCAR Rule Book causing Stenhouse to line up in the 27th – starting position. The Olive Branch, Miss. native quickly marched his way up inside the top-20 picking up eight positions by the time the competition yellow was displayed on lap 40.
Despite battling a tight machine, the two-time XFINITY champion still ran inside the top-15 for a majority of the 400-lap race.
When the final caution flag was displayed on lap 371, Nick Sandler called Stenhouse Jr. to pit road for four tires and a splash of fuel with a limited number of cars on the lead lap and some of the leaders were gambling on fuel strategy.
When the final green flag waved with 24 laps remaining, the Roush Fenway Racing driver restarted 14th but bullied his way up through the field picking up six positions in the final laps to take the checkered flag in the eighth position.
Stenhouse and the No. 17 team head home to race in their backyard at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Oct. 10, 2015. Race coverage begins at 7:00 p.m. on NBC. Coverage can also be heard on PRN and SIRIUS radio channel 90.


This is a simple sewing project and they just look so cute.
If you would like them to look a little fancy, pick out some coordinating ribbon, maybe 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch in width.
Note: I purchased 1 yard of fabric hoping that I would be able to complete all 12 burp cloths with the same fabric. It didn't work, because of the fabric shrinkage in the wash.
Start out by washing everything in your washing machine in HOT, don't forget to wash the ribbon (maybe put the ribbon in a lingerie bag to keep it from getting tangled up). This will make sure that everything is preshrunk and the person you give this to won't have to worry about how to wash them.
Next, you need to measure the length of the cloth diaper. Different lots can vary so you want to measure them to make sure that you are cutting your fabric to the right size. Mine were 17 1/2 inches long.
Now, determine the desired width of the panel that will go down the diaper. I liked 5 inches.
You'll need to cut your fabric piece a little bit larger than your measurements. I cut mine 18 by 6 inches. This allowed me to get the most cuts out of my fabric and allowed me to fold under a 1/2 inch on the long sides and 1/4 inch on the ends.
You can create a template with paper or card stock and cut with scissors OR if you have a rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat, you can cut much faster. If you are doing 12 of the same fabric, you can fold your material in half (selvages together), make a clean cut edge and then cut to your desired length (mine was 18 inches). Then open up your piece of cut fabric, cut off the selvages, and at one end cut your desired width (mine was 6 inches), continue cutting your desired width until you reach the other end of the fabric. I was able to get 7 panels from that first piece.
Make the pinning task easy on yourself and iron your fabric first. You can use a hem gauge to ensure that you are folding under your 1/2 inch (or 1/4 inch). Once everything is ironed, finishing up goes so fast!
Take one cloth diaper and your ironed fabric and line everything up. You can use your hem gauge to ensure that you are lining the fabric panel in the center. If you are using ribbon, cut it to the same length you cut your fabric and lay it out on each side. Pin the ribbon and fabric in place.
Here comes the sewing part.
If you are using ribbon, sew a straight stitch close to the edge from top to bottom. I also back stitched just a few stitches at the beginning and end. Then, sew close to the edge of the other side of the ribbon. Do this for both sides of the panel and then sew a straight stitch close to the edge of the diaper on each end (making sure to back stitch at the beginning and end).
If you are not using ribbon, just sew close to the edge down one side. At the end, keep your needle down, lift your pressure foot, and then turn the burp cloth so you can sew the end. Do the same at each corner until you have sewn all four sides. Make sure you back stitch at the beginning and end.
That's it! Here's what mine looked like when I was done sewing.
Have fun making burp cloths! A short stack would make a great baby gift!
These are adorable! I totally need to make some for my little girl who is coming in March. I have made tons of flannel burp cloths in the past, but I have never used cloth diapers as a base. What a cute idea!
Congratulations! I'm making some more burp cloths as a baby gift and I was going to use flannel for the center this time. They really are super easy to make!


 If you haven't bought a home yet, you're missing out on a wonderful feeling! That moment when you walk through your doors, throw your purse or keys on the floor, plop down on your couch and breathe a sigh of relief while thinking, "Finally, it's ours (or mine)!" And the joy of looking at all of your boxes, getting to roll your eyes about why you buy so much stuff, then giving yourself a moment to take a nap because you worked hard to get here and earned it! Yes that's a real feeling!

These injuries are of special interest to Dr. Moskowitz. Having suffered an Orbital Floor fracture as a child, the doctor has a unique perspective in such injuries. Trauma to the bones of the mid-face (upper jaw, cheeks and sinuses) and orbit (eye socket) can cause double vision and/or sinking of the eye into the socket or cheek. Repairing an orbital fracture provides support to the eye to prevent or correct these complications. These injuries require the special skills of an Oculoplastic surgeon who has the necessary training in both Ophthalmology and Plastic surgery.
The decision to perform surgery on the orbit depends on the severity of the injury as well as the doctor's and patient's preferences. Sometimes a CT scan will be done to help make the decision. If surgery is needed, it is performed either on an outpatient or an overnight stay. The patient generally has moderate swelling that will subside over the ensuing two weeks and the final post-operative result is usually know at about six weeks if the injuries are moderate. If the injury is severe, the recovery time can be significantly longer and possibly require other procedures. The doctor will discuss the prognosis, the surgical procedure and the anticipated recovery period during the pre-op consultation.

text: You just stand there and blink a few times. (Did they really moo?)


We have a new trailer for you! Eros International and acclaimed filmmaker, Aanand L Rai have joined hands with Drishyam Films for a black comedy, Newton. About a rookie government clerk, assigned to conduct elections in conflict-ridden jungles of Chhattisgarh, despite the fear of Naxalite attacks, the film highlights the predicament of an idealistic youth against the world's pragmatism and cynicism. Moved by the difference in the Indian Constitution's preamble and the reality of our times, director, Amit V. Masurkar, envisioned the highly anticipated film and penned this comedy-drama's story.
Essaying the titular role, National Award-winner, Rajkummar Rao, currently high on the successes of Aligarh, Trapped and Bareilly Ki Barfi, is brilliant in a never-seen-before avatar.
With other performance-oriented actors such as Pankaj Tripathi, Anjali Patil and Raghubir Yadav, the political satire has premiered in a number of international film festivals including, Berlinale 2017, Edinburgh International Film Festival, London Indian Film Festival and Tribeca Film Festival and received rave reviews.
Shot in the mining town of Dalli Rajhara on the outskirts of Maoists controlled forests; the movie is set to present an eye-opener to the viewers. To conserve the rawness of the film, tribals from the jungle settlements were auditioned and finalized by the casting director in a month's span.

Best Of, High School, KRTV, Track and Field
Glasgow's Brett Glaser finding success through setbacks
Isaiah Dunk
HAVRE — Brett Glaser knows a thing or two about injuries. The Glasgow senior has had three major surgeries in his high school career, yet still finds a way to do it all for the Scotties' track and field team.
When healthy, Glaser competes wherever his coaches put him. Last season, he made it to the State B meet in the 400-meter dash, shot put, long jump and triple jump, where he placed second.
"I don't want to get bored doing just one event. I don't want to specialize. But, no, I love it. It's fun," Glaser said. "Variety keeps you going. Keeps different muscle groups moving all the time, so it's pretty cool."
Shot put has been Glaser's only event this year as he works to recover from a foot surgery he had in January. Glaser placed fourth in two meets this year, including a mark of 41 feet, 3.5 inches at the Wibaux Invitational last Saturday.
Glaser said his main goal for this season is a state championship in the triple jump, although he'd like to place in as many events as he can.
In addition to his foot surgery, Glaser has had two back surgeries since his sophomore year. The first surgery put Glaser in a wheelchair, where he mirrored his father Todd, a teacher at Glasgow High School. Todd suffered a spinal injury in 2006.

"He's very proud. I do it for him. I do it for me and him both. It makes me happy knowing that he can watch me in stuff like this," Glaser said. "I wouldn't be where I am without him today."
His father's condition inspired Glaser to push through his own injuries and make it to the next level. Glaser will compete for the North Dakota State Bison track and field team next season, where he'll reunite with former Glasgow teammate Benji Phillips.
"He (Phillips) kind of convinced me a little bit. He convinced me to take a visit. At first I never thought I'd be going that far away to school," Glaser said. "In Glasgow, eight hours is nothing, living in the middle of nowhere. And I saw the great program that they had and I knew exactly where I wanted to go and it was where I wanted to be."

Quality wood, this rule in made of russian wood. For installation, you only need one screw!
The ladder is made of cherry plywood. It may be that some bits of tips come off during the cut in the cnc. Nothing major and nothing to change the design of the scale. In addition, the hinges are screwed by hand so some ladders are not "straight" when folded but they come back perfect once installed on the wall.
The colors may be slightly different from the image. Since the raw material is wood, the pieces received may be slightly different from the picture. Some even have traces of knots that I think bring its unique and charming side.
Wood does not like water or wet places. To ensure longevity, we advise you to clean with a damp cloth and to dry well. Temperature variations (room that is too wet or too dry) can damage the wood, crack it or twist it. * Avoid putting a humidifier in the same room as the ladder.


Then, what is advanced analytics?
Advanced analytics is a grouping of different analytic tools used to predict the future outcomes. Predictive analytics, data mining, big data analytics and location intelligence are just some of the analytic category that falls under the banner of advanced analytics. Advanced analytics is widely used in industries including marketing, healthcare, risk management, support and economics. In other words, it is used in almost all sectors where the analysis of data is needed. For this purpose, we need a team of experienced statistician, analytics tools and data visualization to perform and give results.
Big data is plenty big, and it's going bigger. There is no use of any data when we don't get any relevant information from them. Big data is a huge collection of structured / semi-structured/ unstructured data type. By using advance analytics, companies figuring out how to turn that data into values for different purpose like marketing, sales, etc. Without advance analytics it is impossible to deal with big data. Companies also know this fact so they focus equally on both the side.
According to a report by BMO Capital Markets report $50 billion are spending by the marketers on big data and advanced analytics. Big data and advanced analytics can transform your business. The point is – it may not be worth using any single of them to get result because advanced analytics is the key to reveal the secret of big data.
Big data can help you out when you have ability to ask right business questions. The tool by which you will search and find the answer of that business question in big data is called advanced analytics.
Advanced analytics can include a lot of mathematical calculations and application of business knowledge on the historical data and based on that try to predict the possible future outcome – more accurately. Advanced analytics techniques allow us to design precise model of real surroundings around us. These models help you to take better decision making.
To summarize, advanced analytics is the process of analysing a large data sets containing different variety of data types i.e. Big Data to reveal useful information, to uncover hidden patterns, market trends, future outcomes predictions and other useful business solutions. So, we can say it all in one line – "Big Data and Advanced Analytics are made for each other".


We often take the delicate balance of nature for granted. The temperatures rise and fall with the seasons, the day lengthens and shortens reliably and predictably. Traveling away from the equator brings cooler temperatures, while elevation above sea level has a similar effect.
Our planet is uniquely situated to house vast stores of water in all three states: as a liquid, solid and gas. The Earth's size and distance from the Sun are ideal in terms of this quality, which allows life as we know it to flourish as it could no where else in the Solar system. A change of just a few degrees would make our home uninhabitable to beings like us which are 90% water.
However, according to the latest measurements and predictions by the world's most prominent scientists, this delicate balance is being upset by changes in the composition of the atmosphere.
A great deal of attention is being paid to the rapid and exponential increase in the content of "greenhouse gases," particularly carbon compounds, which are produced as a side effect of human industrial processes and destruction of indigenous forests. The most immediate impact of this problem can be observed in the melting of the polar ice caps, which are receding at an alarming rate, raising sea levels and threatening the world's coastal populations.
No matter how we may try to conserve, we all contribute to the problem, whenever we use energy produced by fossil fuels. On the other hand, alternatives such as solar and wind power contain the possibility of clean, sustainable power which does not alter the critical balance of the atmosphere.
The best place to start when considering carbon emission reduction is to determine your personal footprint. Use the widget below to estimate your household's contribution to global warming, and then you can better consider what changes you can make to help save the environment-whether that means installing solar or wind power at your home or business, switching to alternative fuels, or purchasing Planet Shares to ensure that your footprint is being rapidly followed by the soft steps of change.
Did you know that the average green house gas emission reduction from each home that switches to solar power is approximately equal to taking 25 cars off the road- the same as the absorption capacity of 400 trees.
Carbon emissions higher than you were hoping for?


Not one to creep on social media but I noticed Wilder said he is out for the year and will be back next year as we all probably assumed.
So Miami has Irvin, Brown, Wilder, and possibly Rousseau out for the year. Who the hell knows with Richards.

Ceci n'est pas une planche à découper? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images
My suspicion (and it is only that, since I can't find it in Dunelm's online catalogue) is that it is intended for cutting rather than chopping per se. We tend, I think, to call all such board "chopping boards" in the UK, but were I to use my Chinese cleaver on most of my "chopping boards", many would just split in two, particular if the cleaver were aligned with the grain. My real chopping board is about 2" thick, cross-grain cut, and bought from See Woo (a Chinese supermarket).
Paul Clapham said,
I wouldn't describe it as a "soft furnishing" either, but that may be a term of art in the UK home furnishing retail business.
jin defang said,
I think that Mr. Taylor is being too kind. The person who created the sticker should've noticed the discrepancy between advertising something called a cutting board as not suitable for cutting.
MattF said,
'This is not a chopping board.'
David Morris said,
When I was growing up in country Australia in the 1970s, woodchopping was a feature of every country show. Those axes would make ummm … mincemeat of this board.
Recently I was watching tv somewhere and it was showing a woodchopping and sawing competition, with one segment being chainsaws.
Andrew Usher said,
I think pragmatics effectually excludes the meaning 'wood-chopping' here, so the only remaining issue is chopping vs. cutting – something I would expect non-native speakers to have trouble with, since the two are often synonyms anyway.

David C. said,
One interpretation is that the product is a board for presenting food, so really not meant for doing any cutting or chopping on, like the one here.
John Swindle said,
I would expect _native_ speakers to have trouble with chopping vs cutting. Merriam-Webster says "chopping board" is chiefly British, but I'm American and that's what I call mine. The board doesn't actually do the chopping, though.
Adam Funk said,
@Paul Clapham
"DUNELM (SOFT FURNISHINGS) LTD" is the official name of the company. I didn't know that until I checked, but the shops are fairly common in the UK. I think they originally sold mainly furniture and fabric, but they sell a lot of housewares now too.
"the product is a board for presenting food, so really not meant for doing any cutting or chopping on, like the one here" — I can confirm that at my wife's hotel we do indeed using very similar (if not identical) boards for presentation purposes (i.e., some dishes are presented to diners on just such boards). But if the Dunelm board were intended for such purposes, I would expect the illustration to shew the board in its entirety, since shape is then key.
I tried to find the product page on dunelm's website, and this one seems like the closest match: https://www.dunelm.com/product/t-g-hevea-basic-chopping-board-1000006730
But the page provides no directions and only a minimal blurb.
Robert Coren said,
@Philip Taylor: I would also think that, if it were intending )just) for "presenting food".. they wouldn't label it a "chopping board". But that leavers me still puzzled about what it's supposed to be for.
If I could do so, I would edit the above to read:
@Philip Taylor: I would also think that, if it were intended just for "presenting food", they wouldn't label it a "chopping board". But that leaves me still puzzled about what it's supposed to be for.
Robert, I will ask my wife how the boards that she uses for presentation purposes were labelled — I very much suspect they were called "chopping boards", but as I explained earlier, in the UK we generally use that term whether or not they are intended for real chopping. In a sense, it is not unlike our word "Hoover", used to describe any vacuum cleaner, or our word "Biro" (/ˈbaɪə rəʊ/), formerly used to describe any ball-point pen.
Thanks @Michael the page provides no directions and only a minimal blurb.
It does include a photo that tells a thousand words: a set of knives, and partly-sliced root vegetables on the board. That nasty-looking serrated knife would surely scar the board if you started chopping carrots.
@Philip You might serve a bowl of soup + toast on a board like that. But usually in swishy restaurants there'll be a saucer-like depression for the bowl and a rim round the board, to stop everything sliding off. You might put an individual cheese and crackers on a board, but that's usually called a 'cheeseboard' — and previously a 'cheeseboard' was larger, to be shared around the table. So the only sharp-ish objects the board would encounter would be a butter spreader or cheese knife.
If you search 'chopping board' at the link @Michael gives, there's a wide selection of boards — some more 'industrial'/workcheflike than others; some more for presentation. There is a nice 'Large End-grain' board suitable to withstand Philip's Chinese cleaver. But yes, Dunelm seems to have come a long way from soft furnishings.
Anthony said,
I used to work in fireworks shows, where we'd spend the day losing all the shells into plastic mortar tubes. Most of the fireworks were made in China and had some funny translations of the safety instructions, but the best one ever was from a shell made in Canada: "Danger. Explosive. Do not light."
misc544 said,
I think that Dunelm got confused when making it lol
Julian said,
October 1, 2020 @ 7:47 am
Obviously it's a board that you stand on while doing your wood chopping.
Anthony, I am still intrigued by your use of "losing", as in "losing all the shells into plastic mortar tubes" — is this a pyrotechnics term of art, or just a typo ?
Misha Schutt said,
A favorite restaurant of mine is called The Carving Board and serves their sandwiches on such a board. Very useful for gooey knife-and-fork sandwiches such as a pulled pork way too fat to pick up and stuff into one's mouth.
I must admit to not differentiating between a cutting board and a chopping board—after reading the discussion I can no longer be certain which I would say in an unprompted conversation. Since I don't own a chopping knife (and buy meat already ground or chopped if that's how I need it), I've never had to differentiate.

Director of DMZ replaced by Abdullah Snobar
In All, Business & Technology April 8, 2015 Leave a Comment
By Julia Knope
Digital Media Zone (DMZ) director Valerie Fox has resigned from her position, effective June 31, 2015.
"I'm leaving because it's the right time. The DMZ is doing fantastically. I think I've taken it as far as I can and now its time for others to shape it," she said.
Taking her place is Abdullah Snobar, current director of student engagement and business development.
"I plan on taking what I know, using the help and advice of others and working with the solid DMZ team we have to continue doing incredible things," Snobar said.
Fox is planning on becoming an entrepreneur in the near future and will only be taking a two-week vacation in the summer.
Fox has held her current position since April 2010, when the DMZ was first created. With her leadership, the DMZ became the number one ranked university incubator in Canada and top five in the world.
"The DMZ was created to support brilliant young people and was built around and for them," she said. "We built this together. We learned together and grew together. This particular gig showed me that I can start, develop and run an organization. I never did that before."
She says she is confident that Snobar is a good person to fill her shoes.
"I think Abdullah is perfect as the new executive director and I'm quite excited to see where things go and grow," Fox said.
Snobar is also confident that the skills and ideas he has brought to the DMZ have worked and will continue to work has he transitions into his new job.
"I think the mix of selling a vision for something new and exciting with the ability to give sound judgement on matters concerning the bigger picture is something that has worked well for me at the DMZ," he said.
Snobar already has changes that he plans on implementing within the DMZ.
"We are focusing on improving our brand, creating sustainable revenue sources, improving support for startups and advisors, becoming more engaged with community both nationally and internationally [and] creating stronger industry partnerships to bring more opportunities to the DMZ and its members," Snobar said.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) [Second Opinion]
August 10, 2014 by nas3n75
And now I've finally seen the movie everyone is talking about: Guardians of the Galaxy, and I offer a second opinion of this movie on this blog, the first being here.
Guardians of the Galaxy follows a thief, an assassin, two bounty hunters, and a convict as they find themselves responsible for saving all life in the galaxy.
Guardians of the Galaxy is very much an orgy of special effects, given that it is a summer blockbuster, but the real strength I saw was in its writing. In a run time of just over 2 hours, Guardians of the Galaxy managed to more than adequately flesh out everyone and everything.
Considering it's a movie with a finite runtime, I was impressed by how much loving attention the writers gave to developing the universe in which the movie took place. The central conflict seemed oddly allegorical of the current crises we have in the Middle East. The outpost Nowhere felt like a living, breathing place.
Every character had a complete backstory. And I do mean every character. We have Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), our main character, who was a human from Earth abducted by Ravagers led by Yondu (played excellently by Michael Rooker here), and he grew up to be the most infamous outlaw in the galaxy. We also have a slave girl, who with one action and one line of dialogue, told us everything about her.
Guardians of the Galaxy exhibited a love of pop culture. It made references to classic rock music (Quill carried a cassette labeled "Awesome Mix Vol. 1", which contained his mother's favorite music from the 60s and 70s), movies, and even to itself, often leading to humorous results.
In case you haven't figured it out by now, Guardians of the Galaxy was the most well-written movie I've seen this summer.
For exactly that reason, I will say Guardians of the Galaxy is the best movie I have seen this summer, finally topping Edge of Tomorrow. It had plenty of style, namely in the special effects, the acting, and Zoe Saldana once again being an alien and looking damn good doing it. The movie knew exactly when and when not to take itself seriously, striking a great balance between drama and comedy. The movie's writing was the substance to back the style up.

I agree, and many people feel the same way. I didn't see the movie until Saturday, which was a full week after its initial release, but the movie was extremely well-attended. I suspect many of the people who went out to see it that night were actually seeing it a second time.

Home / News / Bakken News / North Dakota "Great Recession" real estate crisis?
Uncompleted Apartment Project in Minot, North Dakota, Jan. 25, 2016. Photo: Mike Sather.
The North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner recently reported a $63 million shortfall in anticipated sales tax collections in December of 2015. Sales tax collections have declined by over 50 percent in some oil patch cities. Even with a massive state investment program and projects that were financed prior to the recent decline in oil prices, sales tax revenues still collapsed.
Plunging sales tax revenues may only be the tip of the iceberg of what may be an even larger systemic problem starting to develop in the formerly "white hot" North Dakota real estate market. If sales tax collections are any indication of what the future holds, there may be big trouble on the horizon for local real estate markets and local governments who rely on property taxes to finance budgets.
The recent real estate boom in the North Dakota was primarily based on the expectation of continued population growth and high wages. Developers and investors made assumptions that oil priced would never go below $60 per barrel and that an endless sea of workers would continue to flood into the area for high paying jobs. Many expected this to last for the next 15 to 20 years. As a result, massive speculation kicked off the largest real estate boom in North Dakota's history. The boom peaked in 2014 when over 4,000 new rental units were brought online in the oil producing counties to support the anticipated demand.
As oil prices started to decline in the last half of 2014, investors, policy makers and industry executives anticipated a short-term correction and a quick recovery. Unfortunately by April 2015 it was clear that the oil markets were in a secular decline brought on by oversupply in the global energy markets fueled by a deep recession in China. As a result, companies started to lay off workers, and over the following months caused a massive exodus of people as jobs were eliminated. Nobody is exactly sure how many people have left the state, but some put estimates as high as 25,000.
Real Estate is a just now starting to feel the effects of the massive transition in the market. As leases that were signed as far back as 2013 start to expire, people are either re-negotiating lower rent rates or simply leaving the area. Companies are no longer paying for employee housing. The effect was not immediately understood because rent prices did not appear to be coming down much in 2015.
Recently, however, there has been a dramatic decline in rent prices. As rental inventory continues to come online from projects that were financed prior to the decline in oil, and as additional units are financed for "low income" people from the ND affordable housing tax credit fund, further price and inventory pressure continues to build in the marketplace. "At market" rent prices may now actually be lower than the affordable housing targets set by the state affordable housing program. This presents unique challenges to the use of taxpayer's money to finance housing.
Bakken.com did an informal survey of the lowest current rentals available in the four largest cities in the oil patch. It would appear that rental prices have started to come down across all major North Dakota cities. The strongest real estate market continues to be Watford City with the weakest in Minot. However, even in Watford City the price of a three-bedroom rental home has come down from $2,500 in 2015 to a current price of $1,400. This represents a 44 percent decline of the rental price in the market. It would appear that the price of rentals is now comparable to cities like Bismarck, Grand Forks and Fargo. If rental prices continue to decline renters may have some of the lowest cost housing in the country, unlike the highest experienced just a few years ago. Housing affordability may become an attractive way to attract lower wage service workers who are still in high demand.
What is not clear from the data is what the true vacancy rates are in the Oil Patch. Property management companies are unwilling to share vacancy rates for fear of losing existing tenants who are paying higher lease rates or making people think they are desperate. Several property managers in the area confidentially shared their vacancy rates, but did not want to be quoted publicly in the media. By analyzing the number of listings in each market it would appear that vacancy rates in the area range significantly depending on the location and property type. Historically anything over 20 percent vacant is considered distressed.
Estimated vacancy rates between 15 and 40 percent.
Estimated vacancy rates between 10 and 30 percent.
Estimated vacancy rates between 15 and 50 percent.
Estimated vacancy rates between 20 and 70 percent.
As rents decline, so do property values. If rent prices have declined by 50 percent it would be safe to assume the value of the properties will be significantly lower when re-appraised. Most policy makers did not expect property tax collections to go down or to see the reality of significantly lower collections. Just as property taxes increase with higher values, they also go down with lower values. The sword cuts both ways. This will have a cascading impact on local governments who have supported spending commitments based on past values and growth projections.
If rents continue to collapse and vacancy rates increase significantly, property owners are at risk of defaulting on debt obligations. It is unclear how many of the rental units were financed with private equity, alternative lenders or banks. If there are defaults, the underlying lender will end up with the property and either be forced to take a loss on the loan or hold the property until the market recovers. The major risk for the community would be what happened in the 1980's when buildings were forced to shut down. There is a point where the cost to keep a property open will be more than the revenue collected excluding the debt service. When apartment buildings reach over 30 percent vacancy it is generally at risk of defaulting on mortgage loans. As vacancies increase to over 60 percent, buildings no longer have the ability to cover operating expenses to keep the doors open and are at risk of being shut down.
As this revenue dries up as it did in the late 1980's, these communities will face significant challenges in adjusting local budgets. As this happens we can expect the state to get pressure to bail out some of these communities as they face cutting essential services or defaulting on bonds used to finance the boom.

An excellent piece. But I have the smallest of quibbles. Was it really "the largest real estate boom in North Dakota's history?" During the homestead era, millions of acres were settled, railroads ran branch lines everywhere, hundreds of towns sprung up, hundreds of thousands of immigrants poured in.
Shut your mouth. You do not know what you are talking about.
Did you move to minot ? We plan on moving there soon. Only $800 for a one bedroom. Here in Florida it is $1,500 for a one bedroom apartment.
You cannot get a one or two bedroom in Minot for these prices. They're still renting for a solid $700/month even for a studio.
Greediest population in America! !!!!
Great writing and stats Mr. Marcil. You bring deep contextual clarity to this situation.
