The Demons' passing game made plenty of connections in team competition during the nearly two-hour workout at Turpin Stadium.
NATCHITOCHES – Slipping on shoulder pads and convening a full team practice Friday morning provided sparks for Northwestern State's offense to sizzle.
The Demons' passing game made plenty of connections in team competition during the nearly two-hour workout at Turpin Stadium. The progress, on both sides of the ball, was so good that head coach Brad Laird and his staff later decided to alter their Saturday schedule and have another full-squad morning workout instead of staging the final split-squad practices initially slated to wrap up the first week of preseason camp.
Repairs to a water line on campus Friday afternoon had forced Laird to abandon the split-squad approach and get all 106 players on the field together for the team's third practice.
"Day one and two was a lot of teaching, and splitting the squad like we did allowed for a tremendous amount of reps," said offensive coordinator Brad Smiley. "You could slow things down if necessary.
Pulling on shoulder pads amped the excitement level, allowing for moderate contact, although no tackling until Monday afternoon's 3:30 full pads session.
"You could see people getting physical with shoulder pads on," said Smiley. "It was good to watch the first two groups of the offensive line coming off the ball, getting movement, and seeing some of those new tight ends go hit people and find out where they're going to be in this.
"When you get to a team drill, your drop back passing takes on a whole different dimension. Where we are in our screen games, and the run game, you begin to feel 'we're going now, we're rolling,' " he said.
The speed of competition was obviously increased, and so was the energy level.
Some of the enjoyment came from contemporary music pumping out of the $1 million videoboard and sound system at Turpin Stadium.
Next week's workouts are all at 3:30 on weekdays, with the slate concluding next Saturday, Aug. 11 with a 9 a.m. preseason intersquad game at Turpin Stadium.


Twenty-eleven will very probably be the year when the famous scuderia goes to see the 24 hours race of Le Mans. We expect Søren Bærholm to be welcomed by Dr. Ullrich in the Audi pits; they will have quite a few things to talk about when they kick the tires on our team Audi 200 20-valver.
But first up is the glamorous Mille Miglia in the north of Italy. Capo di tutti capi, team manager Per Einarsson, will take his Alfa Romeo Giulia GT across the alps with an entourage of fellow alfisti. And hopefully the ITR team members will also come.
A sad story is how it has developed in Germany after the stupid 'Ringwerk' at the Nürburgring has gone bust. Everything seems to be either on hold - or prices have skyrocketed. The Scuderia Hanseat 3-day driving class have gone to 160% attendance fee, and we expect the touring tickets to increase as well.
But they won't keep us away - we will be there at least once this year.

With two time slots for play last night and three of six concluded for today, the 32nd U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships has commenced in traditional hectic fashion. Two hundred and thirty-three billiard players have begun a journey towards the most coveted title on American soil. While the top 16 players from the UPA and WPA have been seeded, some receiving byes into the second round and others seeing their first match time later tonight, other greats from around the world have made early statements.
In the first live Internet broadcast from the Billiard Club Network Chalk-Off Arena, veteran California pro and renowned table mechanic Ernesto Dominguez made short work of New Yorker Frankie Hernandez. After turning in the 11-5 result for the cameras, Dominguez slipped to the front of the Chesapeake Conference Center to watch his son Oscar rally against Atlanta's Steve Moore. While Moore, whose great rise in 2007 was preceded by an eye-opening 17th-place finish here last year, was able to hold on for an 11-7 victory, the theme of father supporting son would recur the next afternoon.
In a match-up of North Carolinians, second-generation short stop Mike Fuller held off Carolina Amateur Tour terror and fledgling Raleigh poolroom owner Robert Ray 11-9. Fuller's father Peaches watched intently as his son reversed a mid-match deficit, the elder Fuller with a lucky bye into the second round.
As has been the case for more than a decade, the eyes and ears of railbird prognosticators have been on the matches involving the Filipino contingent. Efren Reyes cruised to an 11-3 victory over Jimmy Faircloth on the television table, his customary warm-up under the lights demanded by fans every year. Rising star and winner of the difficult Turning Stone event this past summer Lee Van Corteza opened with a win by the same score over Shawn Keaton, while countryman Ramil Gallego suffered the first defeat for the Philippines, falling 11-5 to Markus Juva of Finland.
The toughest draws of the first round will play tonight, as the 7 PM match time boasts many intriguing pairings. While the feature match between Tony Robles and Rafael Martinez-Chavez will undoubtedly entertain, many eyes will be on 2002 U.S. Open champion Ralf Souquet as he tackles a well-kept secret from Columbia, SC. "The Surgeon" will have to fade a similar meticulous and deliberate playing style from Scott Rabon, who is one of the country's best one-pocket players and is fresh off action in his favorite discipline last night at nearby Q-Master Billiards II. Others will certainly eye last year's runner-up Rodolfo Luat as he plays Florida's Hunter Lombardo.
The next match time is no less titillating for a first-rounder. Enjoypool.com 9-Ball champion and winner at Open promoter Barry Behrman's First Annual Bill "Weenie Beanie" Staton Memorial 9-ball event in the spring, Dennis Orcollo is among the tournament favorites but will have to top Cliff Joyner just to get out of the gate. World 10-ball champion Shane Van Boening will start the event against young Texan shooter Sylver Ochoa, and many of the other favorites will taste their first tournament action before the night is through. Stay tuned to InsidePOOLmag.com for all the latest from the 32nd U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships.

Where Can I Find a List of Sim...

Where Can I Find a List of Similes From "To Kill a Mockingbird?"
The best place to find a list of similes in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is on one of the many literary analysis and educational sites available online, such as StudyMode and ENotes. One simile in the book comes when Scout makes a comparison between the ladies of the town and soft baked goods covered with powder and perspiration.
In Scout's early description of her town, she says that "ladies bathed before noon, after their three o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum."
Harper Lee's novel is filled with figurative language, and so, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is an excellent novel for teachers wanting to help their students learn how to use similes and metaphors in their own writing.

Top 11 HD Captain Marvel Wallpapers That You Must Get Today
Namrata Gogoi
The symbol teased in the post-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War is a reality now. The much-awaited trailer of Captain Marvel has just hit the web and has got us excited for the movie. With more than 18 million views on YouTube (in under 18 hours), it's one of the most awaited superhero movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The Captain Marvel movie will hit the theatres in March 2019. And to make the wait worthwhile, we have compiled some of the best HD wallpapers of Captain Marvel.
Join the fun (and the excitement)!
Note: To download the wallpapers, click on the download links below each one to get them in their original resolution.
1. Superhuman Warrior
Captain Marvel is the first female-centered superhero film from the house of Marvel Studios and is expected to offer glimpses on the origin story of Carol Danvers played by Brie Larson. And it also stars Jude Law along with Samuel L. Jackson retaining his role as a younger Nick Fury. It is directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.
Download in full resolution
2. A Story in Crayon
Let a superhuman surge towards the sky with all her might, throw in a splash of color and out comes this wallpaper. A stunning display of grit and determination, and perfectly sums up her anger as she flies to protect the earth again.
3. The Prisma Effect!
Speaking of Prisma, did you know that the funky photo filter app was downloaded more than 10 million times? They crossed this number in just over a week after being launched in 2016.
4. Of Tales Written in Stars
It's believed that Captain Marvel, a human-Kree hybrid, gained her superhuman powers in outer space. Hence, a wallpaper with the eponymous superhero staring up at the sky is a perfect way to take a quick look at an important event in her life.
5. The Unstoppable
Sometimes, a cacophony of colors is just the thing you want to see when you switch on your computer. I regularly switch between a dark background and a colorful one. What about you?
6. Tales in Parchment
Do you like to keep your desktop simple? If yes, this is the perfect wallpaper to grace your desktop. If I am not wrong, this wallpaper will take you on a ride back in time with its crayon and embossed effects.
7. The New Avenger
The movie is set in the 90s meaning that you won't see modern technology and gadgets such as iPhones, laptops, and more. Instead, you will see pagers and other significant gear from that decade. A nostalgia trip for many of us.
8. The Logo
Neon wallpapers are the latest craze in town, and it is fun to see Captain Marvel's symbol painted in some of those shades. These wallpapers in darker backgrounds are not only easy on eyes but also helps save battery.
9. Strength. Ability. Durability.
Did you know that Captain Marvel made her debut in the comic world as early as the 1960s?
Her superpower is her insane strength. In fact, Carol Danvers is so powerful that she can fight not one, but two sharks at once. And did we tell you about the time she carried an entire train on her back? You should probably start digging her old comic issues.
10. The Only Hope
Again, who doesn't love dark wallpapers?
11. Fury Minus the Eyepatch
Last but not the least, how can we miss the one who sent the SOS at the end of the Infinity War movie? Samuel L. Jackson returns as a young Nick Fury. And guess what? This is the first Avengers movie where he's seen without his trademark eyepatch.

Higher. Further. Faster.
After DC's Wonder Woman, it was high time that the Marvel Cinematic Universe came up with its own female superhero action movie.
So, how (and where) would Captain Marvel fit into the Infinity Wars sequel? More importantly, would she be the one who reverses everything that Thanos has done (and hopefully reduce him to dust)? Does she have a seventh stone secretly stashed away?
Well, only time will tell. Unless you've read the comics. In that case, resist the temptation to share spoilers.

Any cookbook hoarders out there? You know who you are!
My own personal cookbook obsession explains why I was so excited to participate in the Food Blogger Cookbook Swap, hosted by Alyssa of www.EverydayMaven.com and Faith of http://www.anediblemosaic.com. These ladies are always coming up with fun and creative ways for food bloggers to connect. I also participated in their Food Blogger Prop Swap last summer.
Then I chose a recipe from the cookbook to share on my blog. I settled on something sweet and budget-friendly. Something that I think you guys will enjoy making yourselves.
After flipping through the cookbook that was sent to me, I quickly settled on a delicious looking recipe for The Ultimate Cream Tea. At first I was a little confused about what Cream Tea really is. A drink? A meal? A ritual?
Turns out, Cream Tea is a tea where clotted cream is served with scones. It's not high tea, which is a common misconception. It's its own thing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if someone invited you over for cream tea, you could expect to get this.
But I digress. In all honesty, the American in me was reminded of strawberry shortcake when biting into these homemade biscuits. And even more so since I used whipped cream instead of clotted cream. My bad. Call them what you want. I call them delicious.
As I noted above, I used whipped cream instead of clotted cream. I was less concerned with making cream tea that was authentic, and more concerned about making something delicious without spending a lot of money. Win! Recipe note: To make superfine sugar at home, simply place sugar in the blender and pulse until the sugar becomes fine. Avoid processing to the point of getting powdered sugar!
Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or grease and flour it). Place flour, salt, butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the mixture together until all of the butter is incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk buttermilk, vanilla, and most of the egg. Gradually pour the liquid mixture into the butter mixture, mixing with your hand. Be careful not to overmix.
Place mixture on a clean floured work surface. Shape dough into a circle about 1 3/4 inches thick. Cut 6-centimeter circles out of the dough using a circular dough cutter or cookie cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Combine remaining egg and milk. Brush the top of the dough with egg mixture.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet and place on a baking rack to cool slightly. Serve with clotted cream and jam.
What a great cookbook! I went on a canning and preserving kick last summer and it was so much fun — and I'm still enjoying all the jams, relishes, and pickles 9 months later.
These biscuits look fantastic! I've started an afternoon tea ritual these last few months and will have to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Oh what a fun book! I loved discovering new blogs and new books through this swap! Win!
What a cool and different recipe! Thanks for sharing! Great to be introduced to your blog through the swap. Isn't this just so fun?
Oh I would love this book and this recipe too. So nice to find your blog through this swap. Your site is beautiful!
Those look delicious! Beautiful photos!
I'm in! two helpings, please.
These look wonderful, Haley! I'm sure I would have picked the same recipe. This has been so much fun & I love exploring all the new (to me) blogs!
Those look gorgeous and what a great cookbook! I"m so glad for this swap to be introduced to your beautiful blog!
A book on preserving foods definitely sounds like something a frugal cook might enjoy. How thoughtful of your swapper!
I'm loving your flower napkin. So pretty!
These looks so tasty! I love the idea of inviting some friends over for tea. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. That books sounds right up my alley. I have 4 raised garden beds in my backyard and just recently got into pickling and preserving. This sounds like it would have a lot of neat tips. Thanks for sharing!
I need this book and will be trying this recipe. I think cookbook hoarding may be incurable, and clearly food bloggers are not a good support group for curing the addiction as I now have added at least 3 books to my wish list.
So glad to find your blog with the cookbook exchange!
What a neat book and I've never heard of Cream Tea! Thanks again for participating and helping make the swap fun!
How lovely. I haven't had cream tea since I lived in Boston. So gonna try this!
Never heard of cream tea, but now I want it! Nicely done for the swap!
I know it's not true to the recipe, but I have usually use vanilla yogurt in place of clotted cream-I used to strain it on cheesecloth until thicker, but now greek yogurt works well, too.

Snoqualmie Police Department advised that they had already given him a ride to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and detox and that he had checked himself out at approximately 8pm. Firefighters performed an evaluation and found the individual to be too intoxicated to make an informed decision and transported him back to Snoqualmie Valley Hospital.

If you're looking for a decent in-dash GPS navigation system that can support digital audio and video, then the Kenwood DDX8019 could be the product for you. If GPS navigation isn't your first priority, however, there are more easy-to-use media players on the market.
View Local Inventory
For media playback, top-level menu screens feature four grainy, jagged icons that run down the right-hand side of the screen. These buttons control source selection, source control, audio control, and setup. In its two-line configuration, the main audio playback screen features a collection of buttons strewn across the screen.
One of the DDX8019's more attractive audio features is its standard USB audio playback capability. Once a USB mass-storage device is connected, the DDX8019 can find and play digital audio files and display artist, album, and song title (and even album art, where available) on the screen.
We like the navigation system's bright maps, turn-by-turn voice directions, and advanced text-to-speech technology, which reads out the names of individual streets.
In contrast to the system's unhelpful digital audio menus, the navigation GUI is a pleasure to use. Destinations can be entered by a variety of methods via bright, intuitive touch screen buttons.
With the car's parking brake engaged, the Kenwood DDX8019 plays DVD video and VCDs. The screen is big and bright enough to deliver a good movie experience.
With the addition of Kenwood's GNA-G510 add-on module, the DDX8019 can be turned into a very useful GPS navigation system.
For compressed-format digital audio discs, the system displays ID3 and WMA tag information for file, artist, and album.
Like other double-DIN-size touch screen in-dash systems, the DDX8019 has a motorized front panel, which drops away to reveal its single disc slot. The system can support CDs, DVD video, and DVD audio as well as MP3- and WMA-encoded discs.

In a French-occupied Swiss village where all the inhabitants have been forced to surrender their guns, lone rebel Marcus (John Barrymore) refuses to cooperate. He needs his firearm to protect his beloved Ciglia (Camilla Horn), though fate may doom their romance. Legendary director Ernst Lubitsch lends his signature touch to this overlooked silent masterpiece, which boasts a hugely magnetic turn by matinee idol Barrymore.


Thinstall uses virtual application technology to enable IT administrators to run products such as Microsoft Word and Excel on users' systems without actually installing the software and without making any changes to the local file system or registry.
If this sounds similar to Microsoft's SoftGrid, (based on Microsoft's acquisition of Softricity, which was completed in July 2006) or Citrix's Tarpon, that's because the technologies are very similar. The technology behind Thinstall is also closely related to Altiris' SVS (Software Virtualization Solution), which I reviewed in March 2006. I got a demo of the product from company founder and Chief Technology Officer Jonathan Clark on March 26, 2007. It looks very cool and, as I watched, Jonathan was able to start Microsoft Excel (with an executable of over 250MB) in just under 4 seconds on a lockdown Windows XP system that had never had Excel installed before. The cost for this convenience is $5,000 for the server and about $29 per desktop (one-time charge) and an 18 per cent annual maintenance fee. For shops that need to reduce regression testing before rolling out applications, Thinstall should definitely be on the comparison shortlist. Thinstall uses a virtualized operating system that is about 400K in size and is included with every application that is delivered to the user desktop system. The virtual OS handles communication with the delivery server and also keeps the virtualized application thinking that it is actually installed on the local Windows system. Any change, including data that is written locally, is kept in a sandbox, completely isolated from the physical system. Creating Thinstall projects looked pretty simple. Jonathan was able to create a project to deliver the Mozilla Firefox browser in under a minute. Thinstall last week announced an OEM agreement with LANDesk. Apparently LANDesk will be integrating the Thinstall functionality into the LANDesk Management Suite. This makes sense so that LANDesk can stay even with competitor Alitiris on the application virtualization marketing check-off sheet. Aside from keeping up with the Joneses, however, Thinstall technology is well worth checking out from a desktop and application security, rapid application deployment and help desk point of view. Because applications can be deployed with the virtualized OS, which doesn't make changes to the local system, desktop administrators can merrily remove administrative privileges from local desktops and still be confident that the CEO's admin will be able to access his or her applications without delay. Applications can be deployed without having to perform regression tests to see if the new apps will break already deployed, corporate standard software. Even better, unauthorized software that might have interfered with the official app about to be deployed won't be able to muck up the new app, which will be safely running in its own cocoon. This should greatly reduce "the new software is breaking other applications" help desk calls. And if a user messes up an application, it's a lot easier for the help desk to help them reset the application to a working state in a matter of minutes. We could do all this with the Alitiris SVS product, so we'll likely put Thinstall under the microscope to look for its shortcomings in the next couple of months. For now check out Thinstall.

Einstein, Adidas, Beckenbauer… and a Cup full of ideas
John Blau
Published: June 14th, 2006
Germany is using the World Cup games to show that the country hasn't only produced some clever soccer players like the iconic Franz Beckenbauer, but also some brilliant minds including Albert Einstein.
"Germany — The Land of Ideas" is a government-sponsored program designed to encourage the millions of international fans pouring into the country to use some of their free time to learn more about innovation made in Germany — of which there is plenty.
The computer, facsimile machine and MP3 audio compression algorithm are among the many inventions attributed to Germans. Even today, the country still claims nearly 19 percent of the world's patents, second only to the U.S.
Visitors to Berlin, when they leave the city's new train station and head to the sprawling government complex on the Spree River nearby, will see a large sculpture of an aspirin, paying tribute to the country's pharmaceutical and other medical achievements (including the x-ray, heart catheters and dialysis). Nearby are two large soccer shoes, in recognition of the Dassler family, which founded the Adidas and Puma athletic shoemakers.
In addition to these sculptures, the "Walk of Ideas" includes a several meter-high stack of books to commemorate not only German writers such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johann Christoph Friedrich Schiller but also the inventor of modern book printing, Johannes Gutenberg.
In front of the Brandenburg Gate is a huge automobile sculpture. Germany — home to automobile manufacturing heavyweights BMW AG, DaimlerChrysler AG, Porsche AG and Volkswagen AG, claims not only to have invented the automobile but also many automotive parts, such as the diesel motor, antilock break system (ABS), airbags and aluminium bodywork.
The country is also attributed with inventing the motorcycle, motorboat and magnetic levitation railway.
Today, German engineers at the forefront in efforts to develop hydrogen and fuel cell technologies to power vehicles in the future.
During the World Cup championship, which end July 9, fans touring the 12 cities with stadiums and other cities are welcome to view a number of presentations.

Some reports are suggesting that Apple is looking to secure long-term cobalt supplies directly from miners. This is apparently in response to the company's fear that there will be a strain on cobalt supplies as electric vehicles go mainstream.
The talks will likely involve speaking and securing contracts with cobalt miners in the Democratic Republic of Congo as the country is not only the largest supplier of cobalt globally, but holds approximately 60% of cobalt reserves worldwide.
The rumored negotiations are interesting in that in 2017 Apple announced that it will start treating cobalt, an important mineral in the making of its electronic devices, mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a conflict mineral amid child labor allegations. Furthermore, the iPhone maker said that, at the time, it had instructed smelters it uses to stop buying cobalt from artisanal mines that use child labour as the owner of the accused mines, Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt, continues to investigate the allegations.
Apple are not the first company reported to be looking to secure long term cobalt supplies. Towards the end of 2017,it was revealed that Volkswagen (VW) is also looking to secure long term cobalt supplies. VW was reported to be looking to secure supplies of cobalt for the next 10 years. Cobalt is a component in the manufacturing of rechargeable batteries.

Mein Kampf (în ) este o carte scrisă de Adolf Hitler în două volume:
 Eine Abrechnung (O socoteală), publicată la 18 iulie 1925
 Die nationalsozialistische Bewegung (Mișcarea național-socialistă), publicată în 1926.
Volumul Eine Abrechnung este alcătuit din 12, iar Die nationalsozialistische Bewegung din 17 capitole.

Hitler a conceput cartea între anii 1923-24, când a fost deținut în închisoarea din Landsberg am Lech în Bavaria. Cartea a fost dactilografiată în închisoare de complicele său, Rudolf Hess.

Mein Kampf este o operă autobiografică, dar și o platformă program a nazismului, mai ales al doilea volum. Hitler descrie aici unele "soluții" la "problema evreiască". Pentru naziștii și neonaziștii din al Doilea Război Mondial, Mein Kampf a reprezentat și încă mai reprezintă și azi bazele național-socialismului.

Multă vreme s-a crezut că Mein Kampf este singura carte scrisă de Hitler. Gerhard Weinberg, un istoric american, evreu născut la Hanovra și emigrat de copil din Germania nazistă în SUA, a descoperit în arhive, în 1958, și a făcut public un document de 324 pagini dactilografiate, dictat de Hitler în 1928, în care acesta își expunea viziunea asupra politicii externe. Weinberg este de părere că acest text va permite o mai bună înțelegere a cărții Mein Kampf și va ajuta la prevenirea nedreptăților în viitor.

Copyright
Timp de 70 de ani, până la 1 ianuarie 2016, drepturile de autor (copyrightul) asupra cărții au aparținut landului german Bavaria, care însă nu a republicat-o niciodată. În plus, a interzis și republicarea ei, atât în Germania cât și în străinătate. O excepție a fost copyrightul în Marea Britanie și în SUA.  Imediat după expirarea drepturilor de autor cartea a fost republicată în Germania de către institutul Institut für Zeitgeschichte, dar însoțită de comentarii științifice și istorice, inclusiv de dezvăluirea minciunilor din ea. Această acțiune este totuși foarte controversată.

If that happens, those two states and Mexico would be the first see their share of water cut. Further drops in the reservoir could trigger cuts for other states.
The chances of a shortfall rise to 64 percent in 2021 and 68 percent in 2022, the bureau said.
Lake Mead has never fallen low enough to trigger cutbacks, but a nearly two-decade drought and growing demand makes a shortage more and more likely.
The river serves about 40 million people and 6,300 square miles (16,300 square kilometers) of farmland in United States and Mexico. In the U.S., Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Wyoming and Utah all use the river or its tributaries, along with 20 Native American reservations.
The shortage projection prompted Bureau of Reclamation Chief Brenda Burman to prod the seven river states to finish long-delayed contingency plans for worsening conditions.
"We need action and we need it now," Burman said in a written statement. "We can't afford to wait for a crisis before we implement drought contingency plans."
Burman urged the states to finish the plans by the end of the year.
The states have agreed to come up with the plans but Burman has limited power — other than verbal persuasion — to make it happen. The river is governed by a collection of international treaties, interstate agreements and court decisions, and no single agency is in charge.
The agreements specify that cutbacks will kick in if the surface of Lake Mead drops to 1,075 feet (328 meters) above sea level.
Arizona would take the biggest hit, losing 320,000 acre-feet (395 million cubic meters) or 11.4 percent of its annual allocation from the Colorado. An acre-foot is enough to supply one typical U.S. household for a year.
Nevada would lose 13,000 acre-feet (16 million cubic meters) or 4.3 percent. Mexico would lose 50,000 acre-feet (62 million cubic meters) or 3.3 percent.
Most of the water in the Colorado River is snowmelt from mountains in Colorado and Wyoming. Because of the drought, last winter's snow was uneven but generally well below average across the region.
Federal forecasters said Monday the river is expected to carry only 43 percent of its average amount of water this year into Lake Powell, another big reservoir upstream from Lake Mead.

Arduino boards are available in pre-assembled form or as a kit commercially.
Arduino boards use a variety of microprocessors and controllers. The cards are equipped with a set of digital and analog I / O pins that can be connected to various expansion cards, control cards (shields) and other circuits. The cards have serial communication ports, including Universal Serial Bus (USB) on some models, which are also used to load programs from PCs. Microcontrollers are typically programmed with a dialect of functions in the C and C ++ programming languages. Not only does the Arduino project use traditional compilation toolchains, it also uses an integrated development environment (IDE) based on the design language.
The Arduino project was launched in 2003 as a program for students at the Ivrea Interaction Design Institute in Ivrea, Italy, to provide beginners and professionals with an easy and cost-effective way to develop devices that interact with students. their environment with sensors and actuators. Common examples of such devices for beginners are simple robots, thermostats and motion detectors.
The name Arduino comes from a bar in Ivrea, Italy, where some of the founders of the project met. The bar was named after Arduin of Ivrea, who was from 1002 to 1014 margrave of the march of Ivrea and King of Italy.
