LEICESTER go into a vital Premiership clash with King's Lynn at the Paul Chapman & Sons Arena on Monday (7.30pm) - with three points a must.
The Watling JCB Lions were edged out by Poole last week in a meeting which continued a recent trend of home fixtures going right down to the wire.
And with reigning British Champion and man-of-the-moment Robert Lambert leading the Stars along with former Grand Prix ace Niels-Kristian Iversen, Lions will be looking to get the job done in convincing fashion.
Lambert goes into the meeting off the back of winning the second round of the Speedway Euro Championship in Germany on Saturday as he continues his rapid rise towards the summit of the sport.
Leicester had looked in good shape for a positive result when they visited the Adrian Flux Arena earlier this month before the match was understandably abandoned following injuries for two home riders.
But last week's loss to the Pirates has put the pressure on for their remaining home matches, plus there is a need to pick up points on the road in a busy away schedule to come.
Lions are unchanged with club bosses looking for improved results at reserve, where Nicolai Klindt dominated for Poole last week.
The Stars, who are bottom of the table but have matches in hand, operate rider-replacement for Lewis Kerr, who is out with a broken leg, whilst they have signed former Leicester man Simon Lambert at reserve to cover for shoulder injury victim Kasper Andersen.
Their other reserve Ty Proctor could pose a considerable threat if the Australian is back to fitness after missing recent Championship matches for Workington with his own shoulder problem.
Proctor top-scored with 10+1 on the Stars' previous visit, when they held the Lions to a 48-42 victory in the first leg of a KO Cup tie despite being without Robert Lambert who had been stranded by a delayed flight.
And that result indicates what a threat King's Lynn could pose, with Dale Allitt's side having already won at Belle Vue and drawn at current leaders Somerset this season.
Leicester owner Damien Bates said: "Once again, it's not going to be an easy match for us especially with King's Lynn having Proctor at reserve.
"That means just like Poole they're going to be coming with a strong reserve, so that area will be key, and ours need to step up.
KING'S LYNN: Niels-Kristian Iversen, Lewis Kerr R/R, Michael Palm Toft, Thomas Jorgensen, Robert Lambert, Simon Lambert, Ty Proctor.

Home / Controversy Regarding Menopause
Controversy Regarding Menopause
This paper would not be complete without mentioning the controversy in literature regarding what happens during menopause.
Most conventional doctors still tell women that menopause and all the menopause and pre-menopause symptoms are the result of a drop in estrogen production. In their view the solution is estrogen supplementation, or HRT, usually with synthetic hormones. In contrast, many alternative practitioners believe that women have too much estrogen, leading to a condition known as "estrogen dominance." The late healthcare pioneer Dr. John Lee broke new ground when he claimed that estrogen dominance was the real cause of menopause and pre-menopause symptoms, especially in younger women. In his view the obvious solution was to rebalance the ratio of estrogen to progesterone through progesterone supplementation.
John R. Lee, M.D. was an international authority and pioneer in the use of natural progesterone cream and natural hormone balance. He was a sought-after speaker, as well as a best-selling author and the editor-in-chief of a widely read newsletter. John R. Lee, M.D. was internationally acknowledged as a pioneer and expert in the study and use of the hormone progesterone, and on the subject of hormone replacement therapy for women. He used transdermal progesterone extensively in his clinical practice for nearly a decade, doing research which showed that it can reverse osteoporosis. Dr. Lee, who passed away in 2003, also famously coined the term "estrogen dominance," meaning a relative lack of progesterone compared to estrogen, which causes a list of symptoms familiar to millions of women.

Yesterday I subscribed to Facebook and I realized how silly I was not subscribing there before (hi5 networking is for kids anyways). I also looked around their APIs - if I have some free time I might develop a Facebook application. For now, I just made a quick profile there, and still learning something new whenever I take a look at this networking site. One thing is for sure - things are more organized here and abuses are minimal from what I'm seeing.


The US offshore wind market is finally ramping up: Though no projects have been completed yet, Oregon, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Delaware all have offshore wind farms in various stages of development. Meanwhile in Europe, offshore development continues strongly.
Denmark, a small country but one which knows a thing or too about transitioning away from fossil fuels, is getting another offshore wind farm. E.ON and Siemens have entered into an agreement to develop the new project, which when completed will be one of Europe's largest. Here's some more details:Planned to be built just 3 kilometers from the existing 166 MW Rødsand I project (also known as the Nysted wind farm, and the largest current offshore wind farm in Denmark), the Rødsand II project will consist of 90 turbines for a total capacity of 207 MW. The €275 million ($373 million) project is expected to be completed by 2010, and is estimated to save 700,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
In addition to the Rødsand II project, E.ON and Siemens have signed an agreement for the purchase of 500 wind turbines, with a total combined capacity of 1,150 MW to be installed at unspecified onshore locations in both the United States and Europe by 2011.

New 520 floating bridge taller, not just wider
Thursday, October 2, 2014by Jon Osterberg
WSDOT announced last week that the next-to-last batch of pontoons for the new SR 520 bridge have been completed in Aberdeen.
That means 66 of the floating bridge's 77 pontoons are finished, with 57 of them already anchored in Lake Washington. The new bridge is slated to open to traffic in spring 2016.
People crossing the current Evergreen Point Bridge see a much different span under construction. Its eastern high-rise affords 70 feet of clearance for boats, 15 feet more than the current high-rise. The new bridge is wider, 116 feet versus 60 feet. It includes outside shoulders 10 feet wide and a 14-foot pedestrian and bike path, while the current bridge has almost no shoulders and no path.
The inside lane for both eastbound and westbound traffic will be set aside for HOV. New HOV lanes already are in use east of the bridge through west Bellevue.
What really caught my attention is the height of the new road surface. I expected to see support columns taper to nothing as the eastern high-rise dips to meet the midsection pontoons. Instead, the entire bridge's midsection will remain about 20 feet above the lake surface, higher than the existing bridge's midsection that sits just 13 feet above the lake.
That's a big deal. If you've ever crossed the lake in stiff winds on SR 520, you've likely been startled as a huge whitecap slams against the bridge and – SPLAT! – whacks your windshield, momentarily blinding you. You react by taking your foot off the gas, braking, or perhaps unwittingly veering to one side.
While crossing 520 do you ever fret, "How can this concrete bridge float?" WSDOT says the weight of the water displaced by the concrete pontoons equals the weight of the bridge, including vehicles, and that allows the bridge to float.

CBS2 Investigation: Patients Claim OC Dentist Didn't Give Them Care They Paid For
By David Goldstein November 20, 2012 at 11:45 pm
Filed Under:California Dental Board, CBS2 Investigates, CBS2 Investigation, David Goldstein, Dentist, Investigative, Newport Beach
NEWPORT BEACH (CBS2) – Several patients are accusing an Orange County dentist of charging them thousands of dollars for dental implants and subsequently never responding to their calls for help.
CBS2 investigative reporter David Goldstein discovered those patients never knew the California Dental Board filed a complaint last year against Dr. Thomas Teich. He was also found negligent this May in a medical malpractice lawsuit where the patient died.
That's not all: Teich had served time in prison for mail fraud.
The dentist refused to comment on the allegations and the dental board's complaint.
"Doctor, we've talked to a number of your patients who say they've been abandoned by you after paying you tens of thousands of dollars. How can you do that? How can you abandon these people?" Goldstein said.
Several patients who went to Teich's Newport Beach office said the experience was nothing to smile about.
"I had so many infections in my mouth, it was just unbelievable," one patient said.
"I don't even speak the way I used to, and he disfigured me inside my face. It's not the same. I'm hurting. All of these people are hurting. There are so many other people," another patient said.
Patients said they were drawn to the Smile Implant Center after seeing TV advertisements, touting the office as the leader in dental implants.
Dental implants are used to support crowns or dentures, and can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
"I want them to know they took money from a widow," Cynthia Hernandez said.
Teich's office helped Hernandez get a loan for more than $12,000 at nearly 28 percent interest.
"I sold my purses, my shoes, my jewelry — anything that I had to sell to pay for this — and I still owe the bank at least $5,800 still," Hernandez said.
Patients said the money wasn't the issue. It's what happened after they got their implants.
"Did your teeth fall out?" Goldstein said.
"Yes, twice, twice, and the screws come off," Hernandez said.
And they some say when they tried to get help, after paying all the money upfront, appointments were hard to come by.
"They hold your money hostage," a patient said.
A dental board representative said Dr. Teich should never have been licensed in California. In 1994, the dentist's license was revoked in Arizona and Illinois. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison for mail fraud and admitted to a history of cocaine dependence.
However, in 1999, Teich's license was reinstated in Arizona. Three years later, the Dental Board of California gave him approval to practice here.
"He should not have been licensed back in 2002. He was licensed by mistake," said Russ Heimerich, a spokesperson for the California Dental Board. The board admits Dr. Teich didn't hide his past record when he applied in California, but now they say he shouldn't have qualified for a license. However, it's too late to just take it away.
"There are legal problems with that. So, you know what we can do now is to try and shut him down based on the current complaints that we have," Heimerich said.
In April 2011, the state dental board filed a complaint against Teich, accusing him of repeated negligent acts and unprofessional conduct.
In May of this year, Teich was found negligent in a wrongful death medical malpractice lawsuit. The patient stopped breathing and went into respiratory failure from anesthesia while getting dental implants.
Teich's Newport Beach office closed a few weeks ago after receiving a notice he owed more than $280,000 in back rent.
Goldstein went to interview Dr. Teich at his new office in Santa Ana. While there, someone drove by and yelled, "Thief! You're a thief!" at the dentist.
The doctor said he was experiencing financial problems, even though a Mercedes Benz registered to him was parked outside his new office.
"I wish I could take care of all these people and I am attempting," Teich said.
"Oh, come on, these people say it's been months; some say it's been years," Goldstein said.
With that, the dentist didn't answer any more questions.
An attorney for the Smile Implant Center said Teich wasn't ignoring patients. He said this was caused by a poorly-executed office relocation. He said four of the patients who spoke with CBS2 have since been scheduled to see the dentist Wednesday.
To file a complaint against your dentist with the California Dental Board call (714) 923-9725 or email dentalboardsouth@dca.ca.gov.

Main article: History of San Marino
San Marino claims to be the world's oldest republic still in existence, being founded in A.D. 301 by a skilled builder referred to as St. Marinus. Its written constitution was adopted on October 8, 1600. The tiny nation was recognised by Napoleon's France in 1797, and by the other European nations at the 1815 Congress of Vienna.
Although a sovereign nation, it is strongly dependent on Italy, by which it has been completely surrounded since that country's unification in the 19th century.
Giuseppe Garibaldi was unifying Italy in the 1860's and took refuge from his enemies in San Marino. There he got aid and money and supplies to continue his campaign for unification from San Marino citizens and leaders. In return, Garibaldi guaranteed that San Marino would always be an independent sovereign state.
Main article: Politics of San Marino
The Consiglio Grande e Generale, or Grand and General Council, is elected by popular vote every five years. This parliament selects two of its members to serve as Regents for periods of six months. These regents are known as the Capitani Reggenti, or Ruling Captains. The Capitani Reggenti and the cabinet form the executive branch of the government.
The Council also elects the Consiglio dei XII (Council of Twelve), which forms the judicial branch during the period of legislature of the Council.
San Marino is divided into nine municipalities, known locally as castelli, that are also towns. See list of cities in San Marino.
Map of San Marino
Main article: Geography of San Marino
San Marino is an enclave in Italy, on the border between the regioni of Emilia-Romagna and Marche. Its topography is dominated by the Apennines mountain range, and it has a rugged terrain. The highest point in the country, Monte Titano, is situated at 749 m above sea level. There are no bodies of water of any significant size.
The climate is Mediterranean, with warm summers and mild winters.
San Marino is the third-smallest country in Europe, with only Vatican City and Monaco being smaller.
Main article: Economy of San Marino
Although San Marino is not an official European Union member, it is allowed to use the euro as its currency by virtue of arrangements with the council of the European Union; it is also granted the right to use its own designs on the national side of the euro coins. Before the Euro, the Sammarinese lira was coupled to and exchangeable with the Italian lira. The small number of Sammarinese euro coins, as was the case with the lire before it, are primarily of interest to coin collectors.
The tourist sector contributes over 50% of San Marino's GDP, with more than 3.3 million tourists visiting in 1997. The key industries are banking, electronics, and ceramics. The main agricultural products are wine and cheese.
San Marino's postage stamps, which are only valid within the country, are mostly sold to philatelists and also form a source of income.
The per capita level of output and standard of living are comparable to those of Italy, which supplies much of its food.
One of the Formula One races, the San Marino Grand Prix, is named after the state, although it does not actually take place there. San Marino itself is considered too small to hold its own grand prix .It takes place at the Enzo e Dino Ferrari racetrack in the Italian town of Imola, about 100 km northwest of San Marino, along the Via Emilia.
Main article: Demographics of San Marino; see also Demographics of Italy.
Being completely surrounded by Italy, there is no significant difference between the population of San Marino and Italy and many Italians live in San Marino.
The state has a population of less than 29,000 including 5,000 Sammarineses living in foreign countries and 1,000 foreigners living in San Marino.
The language spoken is Italian, and Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion.

How to 'Europeanise' the upcoming French EU presidency?
There are at least two main misconceptions to rectify if Emmanuel Macron wants to make strategic autonomy a success (Photo: Helena Malikova)
By Nicoletta Pirozzi, Funda Tekin, Ilke Toygür
Madrid/Rome/Berlin, 6. Dec 2021, 07:07
The upcoming French presidency of the EU Council will most likely be perturbed by the presidential elections scheduled for April 2022, during which Emmanuel Macron will want to show his ability to protect the French national interests also in the EU context.
The tendency to put a European flag on French goals, however, is not a new phenomenon. This is why one of the key issues for the upcoming leadership of the Union is how to Europeanise the French presidency – meaning, how to make sure that European priorities and solutions put forth by the French Presidency respond to wider European, and not merely French, interests and views.
In the meantime, reinforcing the Franco-German alliance will also be on the table since Germany is getting ready to send its new leader to the European Council. This time, however, the usual suspects should look for more inclusive alliances.
There are three areas where this is going to be extremely important: defining what "strategic autonomy" should practically entail; the execution of the recovery fund; and converting the results of the Conference on the Future of Europe into something tangible.
A collective plan for strategic autonomy
France has led the political discourse and initiative on European sovereignty and its corollary, strategic autonomy. It is now planning to give substance to it during its semester of the Council presidency through, among others, the presentation of the Strategic Compass and the organisation of a defence summit with the European Commission.
However, there are at least two main misconceptions to rectify if France wants to make strategic autonomy a success.
First in terms of its vision, which has been divisive rather than cohesive so far. Making strategic autonomy acceptable at EU level requires that it is conceived as an instrument to reinforce European sovereignty with France's key contribution, not to fulfil France's sovereign ambitions through Europe.
The second misconception relates to the method.
Making strategic autonomy work means going well beyond the Franco-German couple. In fact, the Franco-German engine is simply not powerful enough, even with the support of the European Commission, to sustain by itself a fully autonomous European foreign and security policy, both in political terms and in that of resources.
France and Germany need the contribution of other key member states, starting by those that are willing and able, in order to reconcile their positions and create a driving group to transform declarations into actions.
Squaring the circle between stability, growth and investments
One year after the establishment of the NextGenerationEU in response to the Covid-19 crisis, the Union needs to guarantee its effective implementation as well as to think ahead on economic governance.
One task for the French presidency will be to find the right way of handling the rule-of-law mechanism enshrined in the EU budget (or Multiannual Financial Framework). Establishing a sustainable link between rule of law and EU funds would be an investment for the future.
A second task is to tackle the question of how to guarantee stability and growth within the EU, while at the same time fostering investments.
There might hence be room for manoeuvre for Macron, who has been advocating European budgetary integration and debt mutualisation in the past years.
Having said that, there are still the so-called 'frugals' to convince – and Italy might be a partner in crime to do so. Before jumping the gun, however, the French presidency should focus on closely monitoring and overseeing the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans in order to assess the effects that the NGEU can have.
The Conference on the Future of Europe must go on
Another area where more selfless contribution of France is needed is the Conference on the Future of Europe. Being mostly the father of the exercise, Emmanuel Macron is hoping to harvest its results before the French presidential election.
There is a danger to it. Taking into consideration all the changes the Union is going through and what it is up to, collective thinking about its future should be more than an electoral pledge. This is why the Conference should bear results – and they should be concrete and tangible.
All in all, the French presidency should open the way for the continuation of the conference, while guaranteeing that its results will be converted into tangible actions through an explicit commitment at EU level. The conference should be perceived as a step towards creating a common future.

How French firms captured the French EU presidency
EU warned against making 'Future EU' conference a one-off
MEP: Macron push for gas and nuclear could derail Green Deal
'Agriculture as sovereignty' under the French EU presidency
In 2020, the German presidency of the EU rejected the idea of accepting corporate sponsors. On this point, France seems unwilling to follow Germany.
Former European Council president Herman van Rompuy plus local authorities warned EU policymakers against making the Conference on the Future of Europe a one-off exercise, arguing that democracy will continue to be under pressure after 2022.
The French push to include nuclear energy and natural gas in the EU taxonomy on sustainable finance threatens to derail the Green Deal, MEP and rapporteur Bas Eickhout warns.
One of the challenges for the French EU presidency is to convince its European counterparts that Paris's demand for harmonised standards covering agricultural imports is inseparable from the EU's flagship Green Deal, and the core concept of European sovereignty.
Macron's vision will hit EU Council veto buffers
President Emmanuel Macron's address to the European Parliament championed a bold and ambitious pro-European agenda. There is one problem though - the plans rely on a system of governance that has gridlocked the EU for over a decade.

20 Apr 2010 // Country Feature // Comments OFF
Colombia's domestic traffic up 40%; US 35% of international market; Avianca leading airline but Aires growing fast
Fast-growing Aires, which more than trebled its domestic passenger numbers last year, seeks to grow further by expanding its international services. As of March this year, the airline serves Fort Lauderdale from three Colombian airports.
According to OAG schedule data, Colombia has 53 airports that currently offer scheduled airline services. The largest of these are Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Cartagena and Baranquilla, with Bogota by far the largest airport offering over five times as much seat capacity as Medellin. According to government statistics air travel demand in Colombia was fairly stable between 1998 and 2003, but has grown by around 50% in the last six years. International traffic is up almost 90% while domestic passenger numbers have risen by almost 40% during the same period.
Source: Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia
Bogota airport handled around 15 million passengers in 2009, including transit and transfer passengers. If only origin and destination (O&D) passengers are considered, Bogota handled 11.2 million passengers compared with 2.5 million at both Cali and Medellin.
Dramatic surge in domestic demand in 2010
According to latest civil aviation statistics, Colombia's domestic air traffic has grown by almost 40% in the first two months of 2010, while international traffic has increased by a more modest 6.5%. The surge in domestic demand has seen all seven domestic carriers increase their passenger numbers with Avianca the leading domestic carrier this year with a 35% share of the market. Aires (which operates a fleet of seven 737-700s, 11 Dash8-200s and one Dash8-300) has more than trebled its passenger numbers from 117,000 in the first two months of 2009 to 392,000 just one year later. It now has a 20% share of the domestic market followed by SAM and AeroRepública (both 17%) and Satena (7%).
The top 14 domestic routes by demand all involve Bogota, with the routes to Medellin and Cali both generating 1.2 million passengers in 2009.
Miami, Madrid and Panama City are leading international markets
Avianca still in the lead: The airline which recently tied up with pan-Central American TACA has a firm grip at 38% of Colombia's international market, while no competitor makes the 10% mark.
International air traffic in Colombia is focused on Bogota, which accounts for around 70% of all international seat capacity in the country, followed by Medellin with just over 10%. According to government statistics, Avianca is the leading airline on international routes with 38% of the market in 2009, followed by AeroRepública and American (both 8%), Copa (7%) and then Iberia, Continental, SAM and Spirit Airlines, each with between 3.5% and 4.5% of the market. Of these, Spirit Airlines was the fastest growing in 2009 with passenger numbers booming by 150% to 191,518 thanks in part to a new route between Fort Lauderdale and Medellin, which began in March 2009.
JetBlue began flights to Colombia in January 2009 when it began connecting Orlando with Bogota. This helped it to become the 15th busiest airline on international routes to Colombia last year with a market share of 1.5%.
The top five international routes last year were all to and from Bogota with Miami, Madrid and Panama City leading the way. The fastest-growing routes in the top 12 were to Fort Lauderdale (+42%) and New York (+26%). Delta began daily New York – Bogota flights at the end of 2008, while Aires began linking Bogota and Fort Lauderdale last November. The US market accounts for 37% of international traffic followed by Panama (13%), Spain (11%) and Venezuela (7%).
New routes planned for the remainder of 2010 include a twice-weekly service by Avianca from Medellin to Madrid, which is due to launch in early July.

[FOCUS] Transparency in compiling music charts becomes hot topic in music community
BTS member Jin comments about "Sajaegi", a K-pop term for music hoarding, during this year's Mnet Asian Music Awards on December 4. [Yonhap Photo]
SEOUL -- Transparency in compiling online music charts became a hot topic in South Korea's music community after some outspoken artists, including a BTS member, criticized an unethical practice of manipulating chart rankings through Sajaegi in Korean, which literally means hoarding.
There have been allegations about Sajaegi by some South Korean artists and labels to manipulate music chart rankings. Viral marketing companies are suspected of using thousands of smartphones to stream a client's song in a tactful method. Fans came to recognize unfamiliar movements in real-time song charts after online music services started providing graphs showing the movements of songs in recent years.
Sajaegi became a major issue after Park Kyung, a member of K-pop boy band Block B, tweeted on November 24, "I'd like to do some music hoarding like these people." He revealed the names of Vibe, an R&B duo of Yoon Min-soo and Ryu Jae-hyun, and five other singers. Vibe and some other artists named took legal action against Park for defamation.
Several other musicians have sided with Park. Jin, a BTS member, set forth his opinion during the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) on December 4, "Instead of negative methods, how about making good music in a more honest way. I hope the era will come when everyone makes and listens to good music."
Crush, an R&B and hip hop singer, followed up the next day and said: "I think hoarding should be eradicated. There are a lot of people who are working hard rightfully, and I'm sorry that (Sajaegi) is happening."
Sajaegi was at the center of debate on December 9 at a seminar hosted by the Korea Creative Content Agency, a state body, and attended by music community officials, experts and scholars. Online music service operators were under pressure to play a bigger role in monitoring Sajaegi, although they insisted they were innocent.
Korea Management Federation executive director Lee Myong-kil urged online music service companies to come up with measures to monitor Sajaegi, while Shin Sang-kyu, an official at Dreamus, the operator of online music streaming service Flo, said that music viral marketing companies should disclose their data.
"Viral marketing companies should reveal relevant data to uncover the truth," Yoon Dong-hwan, vice chairman of the Record Label Industry Association of Korea, said, pointing to suspicions that chart ranking has been raised sometimes through music streaming disguised as viral marketing.
Normally, a popular song will move up in a gentle upward curve to eventually reach the top of song charts. Songs suspected of chart manipulation literally skyrocket up the chart, drawing almost straight lines pointing up in sharp angles.
Suspicions about chart fixing grew even larger when music services categorized the top trending songs by ages. Sometimes top-ranked hip-hop and pop-ballad songs that are suspected of chart manipulation are soaring through charts favored by those who would normally listen to old pop songs and Trot, an old-style ballad music genre which is popular among old generations in South Korea and Japan.
The difference between actual hit songs and songs that are suspected of chart manipulation is seen clearly on YouTube. While hit songs released by popular singers quickly collect millions of views on YouTube, songs suspected of chart manipulation score far less. According to the Korea Creative Content Agency, a state body, YouTube is the second-most used online music service after Melon owned by South Korea's web service giant Kakao.
Sajaegi is punishable by the Music Industry Promotion Act. Violators can receive a maximum of two years in jail or a maximum fine of 20 million won ($16,761). However, it is often positioned in a gray zone with no specific regulations. An investigation into chart manipulation is almost impossible because suspected companies carry out discreet methods mainly at workshops located in China and Southeast Asia. Also, streaming a certain song over and over again is not illegal.
In 2013, large entertainment companies filed complaints with the prosecution against companies suspected of hoarding music records, but they were not indicted due to insufficient evidence. In 2018, the culture ministry investigated singers suspected of chart manipulation only to conclude that it was difficult to see if they hoarded songs.

Anti-LGBT Republican will spend 15 years behind bars
Ralph Shortey, a senior member of Donald Trump's primary campaign team in Oklahoma, has been handed a 15-year prison sentence after a scandal with 17-year-old male prostitute in his hotel room and revealing a child sex traffic case, in which Shortey pleaded guilty and for which, actually, he was sentenced. The politician will serve 10 more years of supervised probation after he's released from prison, and was ordered to pay a fine at a later date that could be as much as $250,000.Court documents also revealed claims that Shortey sent videos of young boys and a "prepubescent girl" over email in October 2013. He was additionally alleged to have persuaded a minor to send him sexually explicit messages and intimate photos. Officials charged him in federal court with production of child pornography, child sex trafficking and two counts of transportation of child pornography. Shortey pleaded guilty to the child sex trafficking charge in November, in return for the other charges being dropped.

My interest in Botannical art is spurred by my love of gardening. I have a special passion for hostas so I love to draw them. Currently, there are over 800 varieties in my garden and every year there are at least a couple new hostas that entice me.


I really should be nervous. I'm about to turn my life upside down, yet my biggest concern is stuffing as much Thai food in face as possible. In about an hour I head off to Detroit Metro Airport and catch a flight to Santiago, Chile. About 2.5 weeks ago I started working for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, with the understanding that I would be working on the ALMA project in Chile for at least 2 years. That's right, I signed up to live in a country for 24 months, a place I've never been before, a place that has a language I have no knowledge of, working on state of the art telescopes I wish I knew a lot more about…and I'm not even slightly nervous. But I am out of Thai food. Dang.

Great news Derek.Let me know if you spot any aliens headed this way.

O.K. Derek – now we know what to send you – Thai food!
Did you get your luggage tags O.K.? Sure hope so – hate to think of you getting someone else's luggage. Who knows what you'd have to wear for 2 years??!!!
the Appalachian Trail for most of a year can pretty well fend for themselves anywhere.
This is really awesome! I understand how anxious and nervous you might be in a different country that doesn't speak English as it's native language…I have been there and can only tell you to absorb their culture and language as much as you can when outside of work, and you will be amazed on how much you will learn. I hope the job turns out to be something you will enjoy and hope to maybe see you sometime within in the next 2 years. Sorry I missed seeing you off and saying good-bye but know that I am was thinking about you and wishing you well. Take care and see you on FB too:)!!
Sure glad we had the chance to get together before the natives eat you! (That's why they call it Chile!) Be safe! Don't drink the water!
I've done that too! Left home for a foreign country! I wish you well.
I am so proud of, and happy for you! You are following a dream, and the last one (App Trail) did not disappoint. Say hi to the Southern Hemisphere for me!
good luck derek, how exciting and what an adventure, I'm jealous.
Hey Dee!! Just wanted to say "hey"!!! Welcome to Chile!! Keep those blogs going so I can live vicariously through your adventures in S.A.
Good luck Derek 🙂 We are all eager to visit you in Chile.
It will be an amazing 2 years for you and your family.
Glad to know that you made it safely to Chile (it's chilly here at 14 deg F).
Looking forward to talking to you soon through Skype.
Everyone here is pretty good. We're all gearing up for the end of winter. It can't get here soon enough!!!


Near the end of 2018, it goes without saying that there is no scholarship for 2018 programs anymore. But if you want to apply for a program with a scholarship anyway, then you shouldn't miss the 2019 scholarship programs once again!

It is estimated that there are about 1.6 billion Muslims in the world today and that is approximating to over 20% of the World's population. No one is exempt from the vagaries of climate change and Muslims have to accept their share of the responsibility for bringing this on to ourselves. In reminding the richer nations to shoulder their proportion of accountability for creating the greater volume of this problem it behooves each single one of us to play our part in returning the Earth to some semblance of balance. Islamic environmentalism is embedded in the matrix of Islamic teachings. The Qur'an is inherently conservationist and much of it has to do with how human beings relate to the natural world and the benefits that accrue from protecting it. The core of this declaration consists of the essence of the body of ethics based in the Qur'an which we would define as Knowledge of Creation (Ilm ul khalq).
1.1 God – Whom we know as Allah – has created the universe in all its diversity, richness and vitality: the stars, the sun and moon, the earth and all its communities of living beings. All these reflect and manifest the boundless glory and mercy of their Creator. All created beings by nature serve and glorify their Maker, all bow to their Lord's will. We human beings are created to serve the Lord of all beings, to work the greatest good we can for all the species, individuals, and generations of God's creatures.
1.2 Our planet has existed for billions of years and climate change in itself is not new. The earth's climate has gone through phases wet and dry, cold and warm, in response to many natural factors. Most of these changes have been gradual, such that the forms and communities of life have adjusted accordingly. There have been catastrophic climate changes that brought about mass extinctions, but over time, life adjusted even to these impacts, flowering anew in the emergence of balanced ecosystems such as those we treasure today. Climate change in the past was also instrumental in laying down immense stores of fossil fuels from which we derive benefits today. Ironically, our unwise and short-sighted use of these resources is now resulting in the destruction of the very conditions that have made our life on Earth possible.
1.3 The pace of Global climate change today is of a different order of magnitude from the gradual changes that previously occurred throughout the most recent era, the Cenozoic. Moreover, it is human-induced: we have now become a force dominating nature. The epoch in which we live has increasingly been described in geological terms as the Anthropocene, or "Age of Humans". Our species, though selected to be a caretaker or steward (khalifah) on the earth, has been the cause of such corruption and devastation on it that we are in danger ending life as we know it on our planet. This current rate of climate change cannot be sustained, and the earth's fine equilibrium (mizan) may soon be lost. As we humans are woven into the fabric of the natural world, its gifts are for us to savour. But the same fossil fuels that helped us achieve most of the prosperity we see today are the main cause of climate change. Excessive pollution from fossil fuels threatens to destroy the gifts bestowed on us by God – gifts such as a functioning climate, healthy air to breathe, regular seasons, and living oceans. But our attitude to these gifts has been short-sighted, and we have abused them. What will future generations say of us, who leave them a degraded planet as our legacy? How will we face our Lord and Creator?
1.5 Nearly ten years later, and in spite of the numerous conferences that have taken place to try to agree on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, the overall state of the earth has steadily deteriorated. A study by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) comprising representatives from over 100 nations, published in March 2014, gave five reasons for concern.
The earth's core physical systems themselves are at risk of abrupt and irreversible changes.
We are driven to conclude from these warnings that there are serious flaws in the way we have used natural resources – the sources of life on Earth. An urgent and radical reappraisal is called for. Humankind cannot afford the slow progress we have seen in all the COP (Conference of Parties – climate change negotiations) processes since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment was published in 2005, or the present deadlock.
1.6 In the brief period since the Industrial Revolution, humans have consumed much of the nonrenewable resources which have taken 250 million years to produce in the earth – all in the name of economic development and human progress. We note with alarm the combined impacts of rising per capita consumption together with the rising human population. We also note with alarm the multi-national scramble now taking place for more fossil fuel deposits under the dissolving ice caps in the arctic regions. We are accelerating our own destruction through these processes.
1.7 Leading climate scientists now believe that a rise of two degrees centigrade in global temperature, which is considered to be the "tipping point", is now very unlikely to be avoided if we continue with business-as-usual; other leading climate scientists consider 1.5 degrees centigrade to be a more likely "tipping point". This is the point considered to be the threshold for catastrophic climate change, which will expose yet more millions of people and countless other creatures to drought, hunger and flooding. The brunt of this will continue to be borne by the poor, as the earth experiences a drastic increase in levels of carbon in the atmosphere brought on in the period since the onset of the industrial revolution.
1.8 It is alarming that in spite of all the warnings and predictions, the successor to the Kyoto Protocol which should have been in place by 2012, has been delayed. It is essential that all countries, especially the more developed nations, increase their efforts and adopt the pro-active approach needed to halt and hopefully eventually reverse the damage being wrought.
The declaration itself was the result of far flung collaboration between organisations and individuals which finally culminated in it emerging as a substantive document at the symposium in Istanbul which took place on 17, 18 August 2015. The push for this came from the teaming up of IFEES/EcoIslam and Islamic Relief World Wide in 2014. Initial research commenced in late 2014 and the first working draft after internal consultation was ready by May 2015. Further work was carried out by a team of Muslim specialists consisting of academics and environmentalists, and the draft that emerged from this process was circulated worldwide through the internet and the web sites of IFEES/EcoIslam, Islamic Relief Worldwide, Climate Action Network and the Forum on Religion and Ecology. This consultative process lasted until mid-August 2015. The specialist team met in Istanbul on 15 and 16 August to consider responses and produced a synthesis draft for discussion at the symposium which followed and was attended by Islamic scholars, academics, UN representatives, multi faith representatives and NGOs. After due deliberations at the symposium the final draft was launched on 18 August 2015 at the International Islamic Climate Change Symposium held in Istanbul, Turkey.


We are no longer accepting scholarship applications for the 2019-2021 cohort. The Consortium continues to welcome applications from self-funding applicants.
For guidelines on how to apply for the IMAESC degree programme and scholarship please see How to Apply.
Note: If your offer status is 'holding for documents' then you will NOT be considered for a scholarship unless you submit the required documents by 18 January 2019.
EMJMD student scholarships can be offered to students from any region of the world - however no more than 3 from the same country or with the same nationality will be awarded in the same intake. The scholarships' terms depend on the student's country of origin/residence.
3,000 € per year for travel costs + 1,000 € for installation costs for a scholarship resident in a Partner country whose location is situated at 4.000km or more from the EMJMD coordinating HEI.
distance is calculated by the Consortium using the EACEA calculator.
1,000 € per month for the entire duration of the EMJMD study programme (24 months maximum).
EMJMD student scholarships cover the entire duration of the Master course and are awarded exclusively for full-time enrolment in the course. Scholarship candidates must have already obtained a first higher education degree or demonstrate a recognised equivalent level of learning according to national rules and legislation in place. Candidates who will only obtain their first higher education degree at the end of the academic year preceding the EMJMD intake can nevertheless apply for a scholarship and can be selected by the consortium, under the condition that the student obtains the required degree prior to the beginning of the Master course.
Students who are former Action 1 Erasmus Mundus Master/Doctoral Course scholarship holders are not eligible for an additional EMJMD scholarship. Successful applicants cannot benefit from another EU grant while pursuing the EMJMD scholarship studies.
EMJMD scholarship holders must spend at least two complete mobility periods in at least two of the consortium's full HEI partners which are located in different Programme Countries. Each of these mandatory mobility periods must include a volume of study/research or equivalent corresponding to at least 30 ECTS.
Additional study/research/thesis preparation/placement periods can take place in other participating organisations in the consortium (partner and associated partner) under the condition that the activities concerned are implemented under the direct supervision of the consortium partner.
Contribution to subsistence costs will not be given to scholarship holders from a Partner country for periods exceeding three months of the EMJMD spent in any Partner country.
Contribution to subsistence costs will not be given to scholarship holders for periods of the EMJMD spent in their country of residence.
Scholarships are dependent on both nationality and residency.
Students with a double nationality (of a Partner and of a Programme Country) must specify the nationality under which they submit their application form.
Students whose nationality is one of the Erasmus+ Programme countries count as Programme country students and should apply using the Programme country application form.
Students whose nationality is one of the Erasmus+ Partner countries and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in a Programme country are considered as Partner country students. The five year reference period for this 12 month rule is calculated backwards from the submission deadline (ie the 5 year period from 18 January 2014 to 18 January 2019). Apply using the Partner country application form.
Students whose nationality is one of the Erasmus+ Partner countries who do not fulfil the Partner country criteria defined above (12 month rule) count as Programme country students and should apply using the Programme country application form.
Example: a Serbian student who lived in Germany for 13 months, 3 years before 18 January 2019 should apply as a Programme country student; a Mexican student who has been living in Spain for 11 months at 18 January 2019 (and never before in the 5 year period) should apply as a Partner country student.
The contribution to travel and installation costs takes into account only the residence (as determined above, at 18 January 2019) of the scholarship holder regardless of the category under which the student has applied.
a certificate form the candidate's place of work, study or training issued by the employer or institution in question.
Both documents must have been issued within 12 months before the scholarship submission deadline.
End May 2019 The scholarship applicants on the main list and reserve list receive the final results of their applications after the consortium has received the final approval on selection from the European Commission.
To be eligible to be considered for scholarship, students must first have secured a place on the degree programme (unconditional or conditional). The University of Glasgow postgraduate admissions office assesses all applications and will reply directly to the applicant to let them know if they have been offered a place. Applicants who receive an offer of a place on the degree programme, and who have submitted the scholarship application on time, will be put forward to the scholarship competition.
Please note that preference will be given to applicants who have not already obtained a Masters degree.
When a main list scholarship student withdraws, he/she is replaced by the first eligible candidate on the reserve list. In this particular case, the eligibility criterion concerns the nationality of the reserve list candidate and the rule concerning the presence of a maximum of three nationals from the same country among the scholarship holders in each intake. If there are already three other students with the same nationality on the main list, the consortium will have to take the next eligible candidate respecting its own ranking list (European Commission's regulations).
All candidates will be notified of the decision of the Scholarship Selection Committee by email only in April. Candidates who do not secure a scholarship and who wish to appeal the decision of the scholarship selection committee must do so in writing by email within 2 weeks (14 days) from the point of notification by the IMAESC Consortium of their failure to win a scholarship. The email should be addressed to the IMAESC Consortium at the following address: imaesc@glasgow.ac.uk. The email subject heading should contain the words "IMAESC Scholarship Appeal". The reasons for the appeal must be clearly stated in the email. Note: A candidate may appeal ONLY on the grounds of defective or unfair procedure by the IMAESC Scholarship Selection Committee.
Fees are converted to £GBP using the Erasmus Mundus approved currency converter, normally using the May (of year of entry) exchange rate.
Personal data will be sent to the EACEA and may be used by other bodies involved in the management of EMJMD acting as stakeholders for the programme (i.e. European Commission, Erasmus+ National Offices, EU Delegations, Erasmus Mundus Student Association) for facilitating the student access to the EMJMD.

I have 6 of the Kessil A350 for sale and they are working flawlessly on my frag tank, some rusts on the hanging bolt otherwise works great, if anyone buys all, i will include some extra power cable extender free.
Do you know how long they've been running?
Probley more than 4 years, I'm then2nd owner and those are all tuna blues running 8hrs everyday. None have showed signs of dimmed leds.
Well the big problem with LEDs is dimming is a gradual thing so you tend to not notice it unless you had a never used one right next to it.
right, if one of the packed LED dies, it's very noticeable. but overall LEDs are all lighting up. i've already got rid of those that has dead LED in the matrix.
Hey - if you ever make it to SF I'd take 2 of these. Going to upgrade my 160s if you're interested in trading too.
How many? Just one right?
you going to Apex talk or in SF anytime soon again?
Nope to both, but I was in sf for 2 lights that was sold. Maybe have mike come pick one up when he's in the area?

5 new faculty join ASU's Department of English, Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
Emily Balli
This fall, Arizona State University's Department of English and Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies will welcome five new faculty members who will work toward the center's mission of enabling and promoting the most expansive, creative and daring scholarship in medieval and renaissance studies.
This hiring initiative was led by Ayanna Thompson, director of the center and a Regents Professor in the Department of English, in an effort to elevate scholars of color working on issues of race in premodern studies.
"With the five BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) scholars joining our seven other early modernists, ASU will have the strongest Shakespeare program in the country," Thompson said.
"The university's investment in early modern studies is groundbreaking, and it will put ASU's Department of English and the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the forefront of Shakespeare studies.
"The scholars in the cluster hire are remarkably impressive teachers, scholars and community members. The ASU community will be enriched by their inclusion."
Meet the new faculty members of the Department of English and the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies:
Brandi Adams, assistant professor
Adams' interests lie at the intersection of book history, history of reading, early modern English drama, premodern critical race studies and gender along with modern editorial practices of early English drama. She is also interested in the early history of artificial intelligence, early modern automata and how studying literature can have a significant and positive impact on computing.
In her work in early modern and Renaissance studies and literature, she presents a history of reading and books as told through early plays published in England during the 16th and 17th centuries.
Prior to coming to ASU she served as an undergraduate program manager at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in several roles at the University of Maryland including as associate director of communications. Adams received a PhD in English literature from the University of Maryland. She joins ASU as an assistant professor in the Department of English.
Lisa Barksdale-Shaw, assistant professor
