The STAR or Successful Transition and Re-Entry Program offers a series of almost-immediate post-incarceration activities and programming to prepare ex-offenders to return safely to their communities and to live as law abiding residents and neighbors.
Morris County Human Service Director Jennifer Carpinteri.
"We are excited to team up again with Sheriff Gannon on a program that has the potential to make a difference in so many lives,'' said Morris County Human Service Director Jennifer Carpinteri.
However, the program also will provide ex-offenders with essential life tools, assisting them with housing, employment and training, education, family reunification, mental health services, dental care, and basic needs such as food, medical care and clothing.
Participating inmates will leave the county jail with a pre-arranged appointment and comprehensive aftercare plan. County social services workers from the Office of Temporary Assistance immediately will begin working with referred inmates, conducting personal interviews and teaching life skills, organization and goal setting.
According to the Congressional Research Service, 2 million people are incarcerated across the nation. Some 95 percent of those individuals will be released.
However, within five years, nearly three-quarters of those ex-offenders are re-arrested and more than half return to jail or prison. The prime reasons: Homelessness, lack of education, unemployment, mental illness, and substance abuse.
As part of the STAR program, inmates who are battling addiction may be eligible for medication assisted therapy options, to be determined by the jail's medical staff on an individual basis.
Dr. Elmer Gilo, medical director at the county jail, has approved the use of VIVITROL to qualifying inmates upon their release. That medication is a non-addictive treatment used to prevent relapse in opioid dependent patients when used with counseling following detoxification.
The strength of the STAR Program's post release component relies on partnerships with other service providers in the community.
it would be great if the STAR program could team-up with Market Street Mission and other addiction rehab organizations to help those who have gone through Rehabilitation programs.

A Reader asks: 'I live in Senegal. My third stimulus payment arrived as a check! How can I cash it here?'
By Marina Hernandez
While some expatriate Americans have been receiving and depositing or cashing their U.S. Economic Impact Payments without a problem, others continue to struggle. Fewer non-U.S. banks are willing to handle checks, while the IRS is still not sending money to expats' overseas bank accounts...
And even though the IRS set up a "Get My Payment page on its website more than a year ago, many expats who've tried to use it have said it's still not capable of accommodating foreign addresses or phone numbers, let alone foreign bank account details, such as IBANs (International Bank Account Numbers).
Last month the Democrats Abroad listed such issues in a detailed, five-page letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, entitled "Re: Improving IRS service to Americans Abroad."
Here, U.S.-based Marina Hernandez – founder of MHTax, a tax advisory firm, and an investment adviser with Dynamic Wealth Advisors/Swiss American Wealth Advisors, who also writes a tax education blog called The Crossborder Planner – explains what the AXFNJ reader in Senegal, and others like him, might do to access their CARES Act funds, when they arrive in check form in a country where checks are difficult – if not impossible – to cash…
[Editor's note: This is an updated version of a piece Hernandez wrote for us in March, which we are revisiting because of the apparently huge continued interest in the matter.)
To the Editor: "I'm a retired U.S. citizen who currently lives in Senegal.
"Although I received my first and second CARES Act Economic Impact Stimulus payments on IRS-issued, pre-paid debit cards, the third check, for some inexplicable reason, arrived as a paper check.
"This is a problem, as I don't have a bank account here in Senegal, or back in the States, and I'm told that the banks here won't cash it.
"So I'm currently trying to find a quicker way to cash it than mailing it back to the IRS, in the hope they'll actually get it, realize it's mine, and re-issue the money to me via my debit card.
"What do your experts think I should do?"
Marina Hernandez answers:
More than a year ago, when the first coronavirus stimulus law – the so-called CARES Act – was signed into law by President Trump, we at The Crossborder Planner received lots of messages from Americans living abroad, who all shared the same problem: they didn't know how to cash their IRS checks, living where they did.
Fast forward to today, as the IRS continues to distribute the third round of the U.S. government-funded Economic Impact Payment stimulus checks to individuals. (We'll call this third payment "EIP3" for short...)
EIP3s, which were the first EIPs to come out since Joe Biden entered the White House in January, are larger than the first two payments. Specifically, they're US$1,400 per individual, including dependents without age limitation.
There are income phase-out limitations, though. For single households, the checks begin to phase out at US$75,000 of AGI and completely phase out at US$80,000. For married households, the phaseout is between US$150,000 and US$160,000.
(Want to know if you qualify? I recommend this Kiplinger "Third Stimulus Check Calculator" to find out.)
Back in April 2020, we recommended that every American overseas who happened to already have a U.S. bank account provide this bank account information to the IRS, via a tool that the IRS had set up for this purpose. That's because the safest and fastest way to receive the EIP checks is by direct bank deposit.
And many of you did.
This tool was closed in May 2020, though, and is no longer available. So that's not an option this time around.
But if you received your EIP1 or EIP2 by direct bank deposit, the IRS will automatically send your EIP3 the same way.
Similarly, if you previously received your EIP in the form of a check mailed to you by the IRS, the IRS will likely send your EIP3 to you the same way again – unless you provided your bank account information to the IRS when you filed your 2019 or 2020 U.S. tax return.
For those expats who have a U.S. bank account that the IRS doesn't have the details of, there are four options, as I see it – one of which I would be wary of using unless they had absolutely no alternative, as I explain below.
I might add, given the date – i.e., expats' taxes are due on June 15 – that this information can also be helpful for those Americans abroad who receive U.S. tax refunds that they need to cash.
Options for those with a U.S. bank account
that the IRS doesn't have the details of:
Option 1: With U.S. accounts, in most cases you should be able to use your bank's mobile deposit app to deposit the check. However, sometimes, U.S. mobile deposit apps don't work abroad.
If your mobile deposit app doesn't work where you live, try using a VPN to access the app from a U.S. server. Sometimes this does the trick.
There are many different companies providing VPN apps that could help you to overcome U.S. mobile bank app restrictions in your country of residence.
Option 2: If you have a U.S. bank account but you're not able to download or access your bank's mobile app from overseas, you should be able to mail the check to your bank, at its U.S. address, for deposit (Yes, I'm talking about putting it in a new envelope, addressing it and adding the correct amount of postage, in the usual way.)
Before you do this, though, call your bank to find out exactly how they'd like you to mail it.
It can be a bit costly and slow to go this route, and, of course, not every country's postal service is reliable. If you're concerned that you might not be able to rely on the postal service where you live, you may be able to use a private courier service, such as FedEx or DHL.
Option 3 (the hack option): Only use this method if you have family or close friends in the U.S. whom you're certain you can trust, and who also won't mind doing this for you. If you're sure this is the case: Ask them to download your bank's app, and using it, to deposit the check on your behalf.
How can this be done when the physical check is in your possession? By text, email or a direct message app.
You can take a photo of the front and back of the EIP3 check with your phone, and send the photos to your trusted U.S.-resident person. They can use these photos to deposit the check in your account, using your mobile app, which presumably will work there because they're in the States.
Immediately after the check is successfully deposited, you should change your bank login details, in order to prevent accidental access to your bank information by unfriendly third parties.
I should add a BIG WARNING here: Only use this hack if you're 100% sure you can trust this other person. Providing your bank account login information to a third party, even if only briefly, could be disastrous if the person is not trustworthy. Proceed with extreme caution.
Option 4: Traveling to the U.S. this summer? If you don't have an urgent need for the funds right away, and have plans to travel to the U.S. in the near future, you may wish to consider waiting, and depositing the EIP3 check while you're there.
EIP3 checks are valid for a year from the date of issue.
Options for those
without U.S. bank accounts
Many U.S. expats, of course, don't have a U.S. bank account anymore at all. For them, there are a few options.
Let's look at their options for depositing or cashing their EIP3 check, when it arrives...
Option 1: Open a U.S. account from abroad
The State Department Federal Credit Union (SDFCU), under a program introduced by the American Citizens Abroad a few years ago, allows Americans overseas to open an SDFCU bank account, which is located in the U.S. Information on this program, which the ACA facilitates for ACA members, may be found by clicking here.
One point to note: The SDFCU app cannot be downloaded from abroad – so if you opt to go the SDFCU route, you will need to use option 2, 3 or 4 listed above to deposit your check.
Certain other banks and investment firms, such as Charles Schwab, allow expats to open accounts from abroad, in certain countries. Schwab's mobile app can be downloaded and used in some of foreign countries to deposit U.S. checks, which is very convenient.
If Schwab doesn't allow you to open an account in your country of residence, due to regulatory restrictions, you may be able to open an account with another U.S. brokerage firm.
This varies from country to country, though, so you will need to research the options and restrictions that apply to you.
Option 2: Don't want or can't open a U.S. account, and live in Switzerland
Those who don't have a U.S. account and don't particularly want one, or who would find it difficult to get one – and who live in Switzerland – can take advantage of an option that UBS offers those of its clients who have a U.S. dollar account. They are able to deposit their EIP3 checks via UBS for a US$30 fee.
Those who have a UBS Swiss franc account will also be able to deposit their checks in a similar manner, but will also be obliged to pay a fee. (Always make sure to find out what, if any, foreign transaction fees will be charged before making any U.S. deposit in a non-U.S. bank.)
Those with a Credit Suisse bank account, meanwhile, may deposit their EIP3 check, but they'll need to pay a CHF20 check deposit fee, plus 2.5% of the first CHF1,000, and another 1% up to CHF50,000.
Additional foreign exchange conversion costs would typically apply if an EIP3 recipient were to seek to deposit their check to a non-U.S. account.
Option 3: Don't want or can't open a U.S. account, and live in a foreign country other than Switzerland
For those American EIP3 recipients who live in a foreign country other than Switzerland, there's always the option of asking their local bank about depositing the check.
Many European banks no longer allow check deposits – they have moved on, as this publication reported recently, in connection with EIP1 and EIP2 checks in the Netherlands – so it's possible, even highly likely, that this could be a waste of time.
When that's the case, opening a U.S. bank account may be the best alternative.
Another idea we have heard from some of our readers involves the American EIP check recipient endorsing it to someone else, and having them then deposit it in their own U.S. account – and then transfer the money via wire to a non-U.S. account owned by the EIP check recipient.
Anyone considering this option should be aware that many banks consider third-party endorsements risky, and that they may not honor such endorsed checks for deposit.
Those planning on attempting this option should check in advance with the relevant bank, to ensure that it would be willing to accept such a third-party check, before they formally endorse their EIP check to someone else.
And, of course, again, it's worth stressing that they be 100% sure that the individual to whom they're endorsing their EIP3 check is trustworthy, otherwise they might never receive a penny.
Yes, there is good news, beyond the fact that so many Americans are in the process of receiving a sizeable check from the U.S. government.
For one thing, as noted above, the vast majority of the EIP3 payments will be made directly into their respective American citizens' bank accounts.
And because, unlike EIP1 and EIP2, these payments are coming after the IRS has had another year's worth of taxpayer bank information to collect, there should be fewer expats around the world struggling to cash paper checks, as many will have supplied the IRS with their U.S. bank details when filing their tax returns.
For those who are still receiving their EIPs in the mail, the options, at least, are better known than they were the first time around.
Meanwhile, those who still have questions about these payments, the IRS has put together some answers, on a website page that may be viewed by clicking here.

I don't always enjoy the celebritization of video games during Spike's Video Game Awards, where random attractive people pretend to know anything about video games while reading the prompter. Still, the show does provide some entertainment in the form of new trailers! Let's see what new was shown this year.
Some of these trailers are for titles we already know exist, but at least one is for a newly announced title. A title that surely will be super awesome.
I, personally, am on a media blackout for this game, so if this trailer is incorrect, then I apologize. One bit of news, however, is that The Last of Us gets a release date: May 7, 2013.
Maybe this game looks familiar? Could that…could that be Snake? MAYBE SO. This trailer is a pretty sweet teaser for what seems like will certainly be a crazy game, as if all MGS titles aren't a little crazy.
Personally, since I was actually surprised, Dark Souls II is the best announcement of the night. I was hoping that FromSoftware would bring us another title in this series of ridiculously hard and amazing games.

After a patchy 2013 and a high-profile finance departure, can Weil sustain its City momentum?
Life has never been dull at the City arm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, but even those familiar with the firm's eventful run since its launch in the mid-1990s turned their heads at the departure this summer of Stephen Lucas for Kirkland & Ellis. The former Linklaters partner, whose exit came shortly before his three-year guaranteed pay package expired, had been regarded as highly successful at building a deal finance team at Weil.

North Carolina files lawsuit over LGBT law
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory's administration sued the federal government Monday in a fight for a state law that limits protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
The lawsuit seeks to keep in place the law, which the U.S. Justice Department said last week violated the civil rights of transgender people against sex discrimination on the job and in education.
The Justice Department had set a Monday deadline for McCrory to report whether he would refuse to enforce the law that took effect in March. McCrory's defiance could risk funding for the state's university system and lead to a protracted legal battle.
Federal civil rights enforcement attorneys focused in their warning letters particularly on provisions requiring transgender people to use public restrooms that correspond to their biological sex. The letters threatening possible federal lawsuits were sent to McCrory, leaders of the 17-campus University of North Carolina system, and the state's public safety agency.
McCrory's lawsuit, filed in federal court in North Carolina, asks a judge to block Justice Department action that could threaten billions of dollars in federal money flowing to the state.
"The Department contends that North Carolina's common sense privacy policy constitutes a pattern or practice of discriminating against transgender employees in the terms and conditions of their employment because it does not give employees an unfettered right to use the bathroom or changing facility of their choice based on gender identity," the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit called the law a "common sense privacy policy" and said the Justice Department's position was a "baseless and blatant overreach."
"This is an attempt to unilaterally rewrite long-established federal civil rights laws in a manner that is wholly inconsistent with the intent of Congress and disregards decades of statutory interpretation by the courts," the lawsuit said.
McCrory said on "Fox News Sunday" he was not aware of any North Carolina cases of transgender people using their gender identity to access a restroom and molest someone. Other supporters of the law cite reports elsewhere of men entering women's bathrooms -- thanks to policies allowing transgender people to enter the restrooms aligned with their gender identity -- to highlight the threat of sexual assault.

Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari
Imola F1 Track Guide
Imola Circuit Map & Guide
Located in the small Italian town of Imola just south of Bologna, the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari resumed its place on the F1 calendar in 2020 after over a decade's absence. Originally a stand-in for cancelled races during the COVID-19 pandemic, the race continued in 2021/22 and a contract extension was signed ensuring Imola's place on the calendar until 2025. This Grand Prix has a long and sometimes tragic history, sadly most known for the tragic deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger in 1994. Track changes since have made it far safer and due to the short and tight nature of the circuit – which leads to close racing, the most memorable being Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher's epic battle for victory in 2005. The spiritual home of Ferrari, the passionate tifosi will be in full voice all weekend long.
While each of our Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Packages comes with a pre-defined grandstand ticket, we've created this Emilia Romagna F1 Track guide to help you choose an alternative.
IMOLA CIRCUIT
KEY FACTS.
Circuit Length – 4.91km
Number of Laps – 63
Race Distance – 309.05km
Max Speed – 296.7km/h
IMOLA, ITALY
KEY INFORMATION.
Average Temperature in May – 23c
Currency – EUR
Closest Airport – Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ)
Language – Italian
Time Zone – CEST: +1hr GMT
Grandstand: 1
Grandstand 1 sits right next to Grandstand A at the entry into Tamburello at turn 1. An uncovered stand, you will have a large screen opposite your seats meaning you will be able to keep track of the weekend proceedings. A drawback to consider is the view, being slightly obstructed by fencing as this stand is closer to ground level than its neighbours I, M and A further back down the start/finish straight.
Grandstand: 2-4
A set of three stands, Grandstands 2 through 4 are located on the inside of the circuit on the exit of the Tamburello chicane. Thanks to the nature of the Imola track, you will feel close to the action in these stands with a view to your right of cars exiting the opening set of corners. The opening lap will provide plenty of wheel-to-wheel vision of the cars close up, and you will have some good photo opportunities of the cars as they head into the Villeneuve chicane.
Grandstand: B
The Imola circuit has seen many changes over the years for safety reasons, with the Villeneuve chicane and Tosa hairpin at Grandstand B significantly altered. Despite this, it is still a driver's favourite, and your seats in Grandstand B provide perfect views of the quick exit of the chicane into the Tosa hairpin as well as the uphill exit. Despite it being a tighter hairpin than the comparable Suzuka and Montreal corners, the Tosa hairpin is still a popular overtaking point. With very little run-off – you will feel very close to the action in Grandstand B. A giant screen ensures you will be able to follow the action on the rest of the track also.
Adjacent to Grandstand B is the smaller Grandstand 5, here you will have similar views to Grandstand B, albeit set a little further back from the track. The upshot of this however is you will have relatively unobstructed views by the catch fencing allowing for some decent photo opportunities. Grandstand 5 is on the exit of the Tosa hairpin, meaning your on-track views will be corner exit and the uphill run into Acqua Minerali.
Grandstand: D,E,F
A hugely popular set of three stands, the D, E and F stands are located in the iconic Acqua Minerali section of the Imola track – a fast sweeping right hand corner which an F1 car can take almost at full throttle, which is a sight to behold from these stands. Regardless of your seats in Grandstands D-F, you will have excellent vision of both the track and the Imola scenery. The true undulating nature of the Imola circuit can only truly be appreciated from being at the track, and these stands will give you the best feel of this. While these grandstands are not covered, the back rows are covered by the trees located at the circuit. Giant screens are also directly across from the stands, meaning you won't miss a minute of the action.
One of four grandstands on the outside of the track, Grandstand 7 is located at the Variante Alta chicane, a tight right-left uphill chicane. While overtaking here is difficult, here you will truly be able appreciate an F1 car's cornering ability as they negotiate this tricky set of corners. This chicane is crucial – particularly on corner exit – for the downhill run into the final corner, where overtaking is possible.
Grandstand: R
Grandstand R is located on the inside of the final corner – Rivazza, which is the most popular corner for overtakes at Imola. Being a tight and narrow circuit where overtakes are few and far between, this puts Grandstand R at the top of the list if on-track overtakes are what you are looking for the most. Unlike most, if not all, grandstands on the F1 calendar, Grandstand R is a "natural" grandstand – meaning it is quite literally a hill. Bucket-style seats are built into the landscape meaning each section of the stand has a unique view of the circuit. Here you will be also right at the beginning of the main straight, meaning it is a short trek to the post-race celebrations on the main straight, and a short run down to catch the podium. The crowd in Grandstand R are well known to be the most passionate at the circuit, meaning an electric atmosphere all weekend long.
Grandstand: H
Grandstand H is located on the outside of the final corner. Here you will be sat in the braking zone for Rivazza, meaning there is a chance you will witness some wheel-to-wheel action prior to corner entry. A cheaper option for the budget-conscious, H Grandstand is a short walk to the start-finish straight and has a giant screen meaning you can keep tabs of the race throughout.
Grandstand: I,M,A
A set of three grandstands along the short start/finish straight, Grandstands I, M and A are highly sought-after positions on the circuit. From your seats you will have a vast array of views – from parc ferme, to the pitlane as well as the starting grid. Here you will see the cars exit the final corner Rivazza, fly down the main straight and enter the Tamburello corner. The sole DRS zone on the circuit – it is this section of track where plenty of overtakes are done (or attempted!) and was the scene of the infamous George Russell and Valtteri Bottas incident in 2021. Grandstands M and A are covered while Grandstand I provides almost completely unobstructed views of the track by fencing. All three stands have large screens visible from your seats.

Everything about moles and voles, control pests, diseases transmitted curiosities, differences between voles and mice, most commonly used methods for eradication etc.
Voles and control diseases transmitted to people.
Enter a rag soaked in gasoline at the entrance of their burrows, or mothballs in the tunnels through the holes then covering the mouth of the burrow. There are cartridges that the mole pops when pierced galleries. The traps to hunt are very useful when the concentration of voles is not high, are hunted live and then drop them as far as possible the affected area.
Curiosities of the field voles. Difference between mouse and field voles.
Currently due to the change in the weather, down from frost and temperature rise in spring, we experience a change in habits and lifestyle of the species, pests reaching authentic produced by animals like voles generating a problem of public health.
Field voles, a very difficult pest to eliminate.
Voles the countryside of northern Spain, it has a very particular aspect differing from their peers by very mild features, highlighting its cylindrical body with plump appearance, short neck, broad snout with powerful jaws, with very short legs to facilitate movement in Inside the galleries and a short tail adapted to life underground, half-life is 10 months, its length does not exceed 150 mm.
More used to eliminate pests of voles methods. Control, eradication and trapping.
In times of heavy rain, we find more food availability and ease to excavate galleries to be the softer ground, this causes the proliferation of voles, reaching a population increase of 1500 more per hectare detected.

Tinashe "Superlove"
By Sarah Murphy
Tinashe has been hinting at her long-anticipated next album Joyride with singles like "Party Favors" and "Energy," and it seems like the album is one step closer to release thanks to another new cut called "Superlove."
It hears Tinashe switching it up between rapid-fire rhymes and a slowed-down, sensual croon, all floating atop a fired-up electro beat. The track was produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart.

Scream Portrait Hack Is Photo Booth on Steroids
Jakob Schiller
Photographer Billy Hunt's scream-activated photo booth makes awesomely silly portraits.
Photo: Billy Hunt
Photographer Billy Hunt thought he had found a way to hack his portrait subjects' awkwardness: a scream-activated photo booth.
"I've done a lot of portrait work and you can see the war in these people's brains when you try to take their picture," says Hunt. "People always want to present themselves in a certain way and they make it worse. Much much worse."
Avoiding this war is easier said than done, however. What he's found is that screaming just raises the stakes. As a photographer myself, I like to think I could be the kind of candid subject I'm always looking for, but even with the Scream-o-Tron 3000, my instinct toward vanity still kicked in. (My portrait is the last in the gallery above.)
It's a trend that Hunt has been noticing and is now rolling with. He says people's vanity, even in their screams, is revealing and allows us to see the struggle of self-perception.
"I think it's even better," he says. "The truth is always more weird and interesting than what I would imagine."
Hunt's device consists of a microphone threaded through a boom box, which wirelessly fires a camera through a PocketWizard. The technology for the project is Hunt's brainchild, but the actual engineering was done by a local camera shop in Charlottesville, Virginia, where Hunt is based. He took a large karaoke boom box into Pro Camera and they rigged it so that that when the levels from the input line (where the microphone is connected) senses a certain decibel of noise it puts out a little electric message that triggers a pocket wizard.
By forcing people to stand in front of the camera and take a minute to not only think about their presentation, but also open themselves up, Hunt says he hopes the Scream-o-Tron 3000 portraits can take us back to a time when a picture was not such a fleeting thing.
"100 years ago you got maybe got one picture taken your entire life and you had to sit still for a full minute to get it," he says. "Now it's just uploading cell phone pictures to Instagram instantly. I think there is a big need for a different kind of portraiture today. People want images of themselves but they don't want some cookie cutter idealized notion of themselves."
To capture the process we all go through in order to "perform" for the camera, Hunt has also started recording slow-motion video that starts rolling before we even open our mouths.
"It's fascinating to see people build to peak action and then do something different," he says. "Often times the [intensity] falls off and they are all of a sudden embarrassed or they run. They want to get out the frame as fast as possible."
From here, Hunt says he hopes to maybe take the show on the road for an extended period of time. He's already taken it a few places across the country, and the enthusiasm is always consistent.
"I could set it up at galleries. It would be fun to do it campgrounds, Walmart parking lots," he says. "I just want to make it an experience and allow people to start trying to move beyond their forebrain and into their amygdala, toward their primal emotions."
Jakob Schiller is a writer and photographer at Raw File.

Denny Morrison Wins Speed Skating Silver After Teammate Gives Up Spot
The Canadian Press CP

SOCHI, Russia - Long-track speedskater Denny Morrison has won a silver medal in the men's 1,000 metres at the Sochi Olympics.
The native of Fort St. John, B.C., finished in one minute 8.43 seconds, just four one-hundredths of a second behind winner Stefan Groothuis of the Netherlands.
Michel Mulder, also of the powerful Dutch team, finished third.
It's Canada's first long-track medal of the Games, and the first individual Olympic medal for Morrison.
Morrison wasn't even supposed to compete in the 1,000.
But teammate Gilmore Junio gave his spot to Morrison because he knew Morrison was the team's best skater.
Morrison has two fourth-place finishes in the 1,000 on the World Cup circuit this season. He was 13th at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

Love Island's Lucie Donlan shows off her amazing figure as she poses in sheer lingerie for new Ann Summers shoot
LOVE Island star Lucie Donlan showed off her amazing figure as she posed in sheer lingerie for Ann Summers' new 'Be Bad, Do Good' campaign.
The 22-year-old star looked sensational in the shoot, also donning the undies for a sizzling video.
The outdoorsy clip sees the surfer babe accessorise the lace bras and knickers with chunky boots, and comfortable cardigans while she giggles with a dog.
Several of the lingerie sets include sheer detailing around the boobs, with Lucie also posing in a variety of plunging see-through bodysuits with polka dot patterns – and in a variety of colours.
The star – who is dating Winter Love Island's Luke Mabbott – keeps her blonde hair loose and styled into its famous waves, pouting seductively for the camera.
The campaign is part of Ann Summers new Knickerbox Planet collection, a range that is created from sustainable materials and packaging – even using recycled fibres in the lace.
Lucie admitted that she was particularly pleased with the collection as the comfortable bras accommodated her ample bust.
She explained: "It's hard for me to find bras that fits all round, as I have quite a big bust, so I'm always quite picky with what I wear, but that's why this range is so amazing.
"The bra top has a hidden underwire so it supports bigger busted girls like me – I love the fact that it's very natural looking lingerie, but has so much support."
She also revealed that she often wears sexy underwear for herself, adding that it's her "go-to" pick-me-up.
Lucie shared: "Good underwear is my go-to to make me feel good about myself. You really don't have to be with anyone to wear sexy underwear, putting a nice bra top underneath your outfit will make you feel a lot more confident, whatever you're doing.
"And especially with this range, when wearing it, you know that you're doing something good for the environment. Put it on for , to make yourself feel amazing."
Lucie said of the Knickerbox Planet collection: "Wearing it feels so luxurious and I love all of the added detailing that's been added to the new range.
"It's really important to me to work with brands that fit my lifestyle and what I'm about and Ann Summers is the perfect fit.
"I love what this collection stands for and its message – I'm always at the beach, outdoors and in nature – I'm as excited to share the story behind the brand as the collection itself!
"I'd never heard of eco-friendly lingerie before, especially on the high street – it's so exciting!"

Arconic Micromill is the company's proprietary technology that manufactures the most advanced aluminum sheet on the market.
The Micromill process dramatically changes the microstructure of the metal, producing an aluminum alloy that has 40 percent greater formability and 30 percent greater strength than the incumbent automotive aluminum used today while meeting stringent automotive surface quality requirements. Additionally, automotive parts made with Micromill material will be twice as formable and at least 30 percent lighter than parts made from high-strength steel. The Micromill alloy has formability characteristics comparable to mild steels. In simple terms, specific aluminum alloys are melted and then run through a caster, solidifying immediately into a sheet of metal, continuing on a flowpath through a conveyor into the mill and then into a rolled coil. The Arconic Micromill is the fastest, most productive aluminum casting and rolling system in the world.
It enables automotive products with strength, formability and surface quality combinations never before possible, allowing customers to redefine the boundaries of vehicle design.
Alternative Additive Manufactured Metals in Nano-Structure Exhibiting Ultra High Strengths is a family of processes in which parts are first modeled into a CAD program that slices them into thin layers. Parts are then built-up layer by layer in specialized machines according to the pattern in the program. For metals the machines build up the layers by injecting metal powder or wire into a high temperature plasma, laser beam or electron beam where the injected feed is melted/ fused into a small/mini pool that builds the layer; or by laser sintering a metal powder onto a substrate or previously built layer. Metal additive manufacturing is emerging as a disruptive technology that potentially will reshape the future of American manufacturing. A general barrier to entry for metal additive manufacturing (AM) parts has been the machine size for AM fabrication being too small to fabricate part sizes for most commercial applications. Aerospace, defense, commercial and nuclear applications often require parts in excess of meters in any direction and thickness that can vary from a millimeter to hundreds of millimeters. The laser sintering of metal powders has been restricted to very small sizes of only tens of millimeters in any direction. The processing of a laser beam melting a pool from a powder feed has very high capital cost limited build rate of only a few pounds/hr., high operator and maintenance cost, and has been limited to relatively small sizes that can be produced.
CANVERA Polyolefin Dispersions allow progressive food and beverage brand owners to offer packaging alternatives that address growing consumer interest in avoiding packaging that contains epoxy and Bisphenol-A (BPA) coating systems. Steel and aluminum containers for food and beverage today, and for most of the last 100 years, are coated on the inside. These metal beverage and food containers require an interior coating to protect the container from corrosion caused by the contents, and also to protect the contents from contact with the metal, ensuring preservation, flavor quality and consumer food safety. Today, most interior coatings utilize epoxy, which contains BPA. BPA is of concern to some consumers, listed on California Prop65 in the United States, banned from use in food containers in France, and under additional scrutiny for European REACH restrictions. The metal packaging industry demands a high-performing coating with a food safety profile desirable to consumers, which not only avoids BPA, but also other materials of concern such as epoxy, styrene and phenolic cross-linkers.
The Containerized Bio-Containment System (CBCS) is uniquely engineered to support and facilitate the safe transport and treatment of patients infected with highly contagious pathogens while safeguarding the medical staff, flight crew and the aircraft. The CBCS built upon years of bio-containment knowledge to provide a solution that maintains containment even in the event of emergency landings or mid-air rapid decompression events to assure the medical staff and flight crew of their safety at all times. Development of the CBCS required combining the challenges of bio-containment and flight worthiness requirements while meeting a short 191-day development cycle. The development team incorporated lessons learned from the recent Ebola outbreak and the collective expertise of bio-containment, custom fabrication and R&D experts to deliver an extensively analyzed and experimentally validated system in the abbreviated timeline.

Shall We Dance een Amerikaanse komische dansfilm uit 1937, met in de hoofdrollen Fred Astaire en Ginger Rogers. Het is de zevende van in totaal 10 soortgelijke films van dit duo. De regie was in handen van Mark Sandrich.

Het idee voor de film was een gevolg van RKO's wens om de succesformule van de Broadwaymusical On Your Toes, bedacht door Richard Rodgers en Lorenz Hart, te evenaren. Pan Berman slaagde erin om George en Ira Gershwin te strikken voor het verzorgen van de muziek. Daarmee was dit hun eerste Hollywoodmusical.

Verhaal
Peter Peters, een Amerikaanse balletdanser, treedt onder de artiestennaam Petrov op bij een balletgezelschap in Parijs. Hij probeert een nieuw soort dans te introduceren waarbij klassiek ballet wordt gecombineerd met moderne jazzdansen.

Peters wordt verliefd op de tapdanseres Linda Keene, maar zij is minder gecharmeerd van hem. Wanneer hij haar op de boot naar New York weer ontmoet, wordt er buiten hun weten om een publiciteitsstunt gelanceerd waarin vermeld wordt dat de twee getrouwd zouden zijn. Peters en Keene kunnen dit gerucht niet ontkennen en besluiten daadwerkelijk te trouwen. Het plan is dat ze kort na het huwelijk weer zullen scheiden, maar al snel ontdekken ze de voordelen van een huwelijk.

Rolverdeling
Fred Astaire – Peter "Petrov" Peters
Ginger Rogers – Linda Keene
Edward Everett Horton – Jeffrey Baird
Eric Blore – Cecil Flintridge
Jerome Cowan – Arthur Miller
Ketti Gallian – Lady Denise Tarrington
William Brisbane – Jim Montgomery
Harriet Hoctor – zichzelf

Achtergrond
Astaire kende de Gershwins reeds van hun samenwerking met zijn zus Adele Astaire en de musicals Lady, Be Good! (1924) en Funny Face (1927).

George Gershwin – die ten tijde van de productie reeds bekendheid genoot vanwege zijn combinaties van jazz met klassieke muziek – schreef voor scènes van het script een andere stijl van dansmuziek. Hij componeerde tevens een muziekstuk speciaal voor ballerina Harriet Hoctor. Ira Gershwin was minder enthousiast over dit idee daar geen van de liedteksten refereerde aan het combineren van muziekstijlen. Ook Astaire was niet erg enthousiast over het concept. In de film ontbrak bovendien een duet voor Astaire en Rogers, iets wat in hun andere films altijd een vast kenmerk was.

De oorspronkelijke titel was Watch Your Step die vervolgens midden oktober 1936 werd veranderd in Stepping Toes maar op advies van Vincente Minnelli begin 1937 tijdens de opnames uiteindelijk veranderd werd in Shall We Dance.

Er werden slechts twee liedjes geschrapt: Hi-Ho en Wake Up, Brother, and Dance. Hi-Ho was bedoeld voor de openingsscène bij een Parijse kiosk waar Fred Astaire voor de eerste keer Ginger Rogers ziet en meteen verliefd wordt, en Wake Up, Brother, and Dance was bedoeld voor de slotscène. De openingsscène bij de kiosk – inclusief het lied Hi-Ho – werd in zijn geheel geschrapt en voor Wake Up, Brother, and Dance kwam Shall We Dance.

Walking the Dog werd als solostuk voor piano, orkest en andere instrumentale combinaties omgedoopt tot Promenade.

Hermes Pan werkte samen met Astaire aan de choreografie. Harry Losee hielp mee met de grote balletscène aan het eind van de film. Gershwin componeerde voor deze scène een muziekstuk gebaseerd op 19e-eeuwse dansmuziek met jazzinvloeden. Gershwin had tijdens de productie echter al last van de hersentumor die hem korte tijd later fataal zou worden, waardoor hij hulp moest vragen aan Nathaniel Shilkret en Robert Russell Bennett.

Prijzen en nominaties
In 1937 werd Shall We Dance op het Filmfestival van Venetië genomineerd voor de Mussolini Cup.
They Can't Take That Away from Me werd genomineerd voor de Academy Award voor beste originele nummer.
In 2005 werd de film genomineerd voor de Satellite Award voor beste klassieke dvd.

Muziek
Alle muziek werd geschreven door George op teksten van Ira Gershwin. Liedjes als Let's Call the Whole Thing Off en They Can't Take That Away from Me werden echte jazzstandards.

2019 Audi q8 release date, price, interior, rs and new articles. Yes, that is what we will discuss, about Audi. Hopefully this article useful for you to read. Audi took out the new Q8, a high-powered SUV, with sports bodywork and powerful motors. This new model will cost about 60,000 pounds when it will go on sale in 2019.
From the side, the Q8 appear thinner than the Q7, thanks to the steep roofline and some strong creases on the wheels reminiscent of high-performance Audi RS models. Sure, it's not as rough as the range Rover Velar, but it's nothing like the BMW X6 and the Mercedes GLE Coupe. In the back, the Q8 model obtains whole brake lights, such as the A8 sedan, and a set of high exhaust peaks on both sides of the contrast speaker. The odds are that these are just plastic drums and pipes that are actually hidden behind the rear bumper.
The Interior Q8 seems almost identical to A8. Therefore, you will have two large touchscreen screens on the dashboard and on the central console, and the third high-resolution screen instead of the conventional analog selector. You have at your disposal a flat-bottom sports steering system than on A8, but the total width air fans, glossy black plastic and adjustable lighting of the provisions remained unchanged.
The head and space for feet on the back are more than enough to sleep a tall adult, but unlike Q7, you can't get Q8 with the third row of chairs. However, it comes with a spacious boot large enough to wear a few sets of golf clubs with the backseat, and some bicycles with them are folded.
2019 Audi Q8 Engine and driving: 2019 audi q8 release date - Under the Q8 sports bodywork will be a variety of gasoline and diesel engines, all of which benefit from an easy hybrid system for improving performance and reducing fuel consumption. The entry-level car will come with a range of V6 gasoline engine of 3.0 liters and diesel, while the plug-in model E-throne hybrid is also expected to be sold using the V6 diesel of 3.0 liters associated with an electric motor to lead the current elect Ric only around 35 miles.
If it is something faster after, there are SQ8 models on the horizon that will use a turbo diesel engine of 4.0 liters, which is equal to SQ7 at a sprint from 0-62 mph in less than five seconds. Rumors suggest that Audi could develop a tired RSQ8 version using Turbo Turbo engine Lamborghini Urus as well.
Regardless of the model you choose, the Q8 model will feel more sporting compared to the Q7 model, thanks to a smaller and more rigid suspension that will help stop its large tilted body at a narrow angle. Unfortunately, it will have to pay extra for adaptive pneumatic suspension, but it helps to overcome smoother shocks and even to lift and lower the body Q8 up to 90mm to cope with rough road surfaces.
2019 Audi q8 release date - Many active driver support systems will ensure Q8 as a pleasant journey on the motorway, as it is very private on a winding road. The combination of active cruising speed control and band assistance combined with the data from the standard satellite navigation system will accelerate, drive and even braking for the turn to come to you on the highway a double and marked track.
2018 Audi Q8 release date and Price: Audi has yet to confirm how many will be charged new Q8, but you can expect to hand over £60.000 for the entry-level model when going on sale in 2019. SQ8 versions quickly you can set back close to £85.000, however, and add many optional features the desired price will push the price further.

Realizing Romanticism
Jon Wos August 19, 2022 Audio PDF In Fall 2022

In May 1981, my parents were looking forward to their first child. My arrival, however, was not what they anticipated.
It was immediately evident that something was wrong. My body appeared to be broken. And X-rays showed that I had thirteen broken bones. Most of these were from the process of being born, but I also had fractures sustained in the womb, plus evidence of others that had healed before birth. Twenty-four hours after I was born, I was diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta—OI for short.
OI is a group of genetic disorders that prevent the proper formation of the connective tissue collagen. The primary manifestations of the disorder are fragile bones and short stature, but it can also include weak joints, fragile teeth, hearing loss, and even lung, heart, and neurological problems. Here (fig. 1) you can see my baby teeth capped in silver to prevent them from chipping or breaking off.
(1) Me as a child, showing my capped teeth
My parents had to deal with the risk of breaking my legs when they changed my diaper or breaking my ribs and arms when they picked me up. My early childhood was rife with fractures, casts, hospitals, and surgeries. By the time I was ten, I'd fractured my right forearm alone about ten times, and the forearm bones had fused together. The first time I remember breaking my right arm was when I fell out of my wheelchair in the parking lot before going to see Santa with my grandmother. It wasn't all bad, though. I insisted on seeing Santa before we went to the hospital, broken arm or not.
But broken femurs were the worst. They were the most painful and took the longest to heal. I had several surgeries in an attempt to straighten my femurs and thereby reduce fractures. But they continued. Most of these fractures required a spica cast (fig. 2), which went from chest to toes and was kept on for an average of three months. They kept me immobile and were uncomfortable, hot, and itchy.
(2) Me in a spica cast
My fractures were unpredictable. One day I could fall off a chair and not break anything, but the next I could break my arm while drying my hair with a towel. My life could be stopped and my physical freedom taken from me at any random time. This looming uncertainty caused a lot of anxiety at an early age.
But this is not to suggest that it was always fractures and casts. Although I was born with unfortunate genetics, I was also born with an amazing family, who brought immense joy to my life. Living on a dairy farm until I was about ten made finding things for me to do challenging, as most of the activities of farm life are pretty physical. But I insisted on keeping up with my peers, fractures or not. I did everything from making straw bale tunnels to racing my brother on the four-wheeler with my wheelchair. Unavoidably, though, there were times when my condition kept me from physical activity, and I often turned to art. . . .
"Art is like a lantern that we use to illuminate and clarify what's important in life. Romantic Realism is a particular way of using that light, to see both what is and what could be. . . . It is a whole approach to life." —@WosArt

One of the recent trend, Cauliflower rice is just now tagging everywhere on the net. This vegetable simply packs all the healthiest nutrient: Potassium, fiber, B6, C and K.
Not only that, cauliflower is low in carb, starch free and definitely gluten/wheat free. Good thing is, cauliflower available year round and can be found at any grocery store or market.
Making cauliflower into rice -like dish is easy and super fast too. You would need a food processor to randomly chop it into rice's size chunks. Then you can simply just stir-fry, steam, microwave, etc..
Of course, the taste is different compare to real rice, but at least the look match somehow, and cauliflower 's a lot healthier.
There are many uses for cauliflower rice. They can be served as-is, as side dish to other food. Or they can also be used to roll the famous grain-free sushi.
So, if you're on a diet or maintenance routine, don't hesitate to replace cauliflower rice with whatever dish that called for rice.
Wish a food processor, divide cauliflower into small batches, and process one at a time.
Start by pulsing, one-by-one until all florets turned into small rice like grains.
Repeat for other batches, do not over process.
In a large wok or sauce pan over medium-high heat, when pan is hot, add oil.
Twirl a few times then add cauliflower grains and a pinch of salt.
Keep stirring to cook and soften cauliflower.

Most people at one time or another in their life will attend a baby shower, and the question that will be on their minds the most is, "What do I bring?"
Truthfully, there are no hard, fast rules about what to bring to a baby shower. The host/hostess of the baby shower will have everything covered, in terms of food, location and beverages. Your job as a guest will be to provide presents to the mother-to-be. So, what type of presents should you bring to a baby shower? This article will give you some ideas to answer the question "What should I bring to a baby shower?"
The one thing a mother and father-to-be needs for a newborn are the bare necessities. What are the bare necessities? They include things like diapers, cotton shirts, pants, pajamas, and baby bottles. Anything that a baby might need in the first few months of his/her life would make a good present. Also, remember that newborns grow fairly quickly so when buying clothes for babies, don't be afraid to buy something in a larger size.
Grooming products for the baby and the mother-to-be are a good way to go. For the baby, consider things like brushes, combs, washcloths, blankets, shampoo, towels, and changing sheets.
For the mother, consider things like lotions to help with stretch marks, gift certificates for a spa treatments after the baby has been born, free membership at a gym (make sure the mother will not be insulted by such a present) or a simple gift basket that will include bath salts, fragrances and all types of grooming implements.
Also, a new trend in baby showers is the co-ed baby shower, so when thinking of things to bring to a baby shower, don't forget about the father. Of course, the mother-to-be will, in all probability, be showered with gifts, but the same can't be said for the father-to-be. So, think about bringing a gift for the father that centers on the baby.
One gift to give the father is an emergency gift basket, which can include things like diapers, bottles, books on parenting, blankets, baby clothes, and throw in a tee-shirt proclaiming, the father-to-be as the best dad in the whole world or something equally endearing.
Don't forget things for the nursery when thinking about what to bring to a baby shower. A lot of times parents wait until the last minute to finish a nursery, and probably do not have everything they need. So think of things like a crib, changing table, mattress and a diaper receptacle.
Another important thing to consider to bring to a baby shower are things that parents can be used when traveling with the baby. For example, a car seat for bringing the baby home from the hospital, diaper bag to hold necessities for the baby, stroller, or a front baby harness or sling to facilitate carrying the baby.
Sentimental gifts are nice as well. You can get the parents frames for baby pictures or cameras with rolls of films. There are kits that let you take a foot or hand imprint of the child. You can make a homemade gift like a knit blanket for the baby or even a small monetary gift like a bond, if you are a close friend or family member, for the baby's college fund.

With the Financial Planner you can quickly get an overview of your financial situation, create budgets for yourself, obtain control over your expenses and make better use of your money. The Financial Planner automatically finds the right data from your transactions and organises them into expense and income groups. This enables you to get a great overview of your transactions by selected periods.
The overview of finances page brings out most important results of the Financial Planner analysis. All overviews are based on the period you have chosen. By default, the current month has been selected.
A graphic overview of transactions enables you to better understand which expense groups your expenses are divided into. If you move the cursor on the expense group expenses in the chosen period are displayed. You can see the graphic overview from the sub-group division by clicking on the expense group. The second graphic overview shows how your expenses and income have changed over time.
Ungrouped transactions block displays the transactions that require your attention. You should group all transactions in order to get the best overview of your finances. Here you can see five transactions that need to be grouped. By clicking on an ungrouped transaction, you can specify the expense group or rule, which is used for grouping similar transactions in the future.
The division of my income and expenses displays the total amount of the income and expenses of the chosen period, as well as your account statement, reservations and available resources.
The five last transactions made in the period chosen are displayed under last transactions of the period. The link "View all transactions" enables you to move to the transactions page in order to analyse all transactions.
Budget overview displays five budgets with the biggest expenses in the expense group for which you have set a limit. You can also view how many budgets have exceeded the limit, are approaching the limit or how many budgets have no transactions in that period.
The expense groups with the biggest expenses within sub-groups can be viewed in the TOP expenses division. The groups with the largest sums and number of transaction are displayed here.
If any of your budgets have exceeded the limit or is approaching the limit, notices are displayed about these budgets on the opening page of the Financial Planner.
Articles on financial planning give a practical overview, recommendations and tips about how to manage finances as well as possible.
Always group all your transactions. The bank will automatically group most of your transactions, but there are transactions that the program cannot organise into any groups.
Divide the transactions into several parts if you need to. People often buy various goods from large supermarkets. If the bank has specified food as the expense group, but you actually bought clothes or consumer goods with the same transaction, you can divide the transaction into several parts and specify each part's correct expense group.
Specify budgets. You can set a separate limit for each expense group and the Financial Planner will warn you at the overview page if you are approaching the limit or have exceeded it. Try to stay within the budget and adjust its limit if necessary. You can also specify budgets for smaller sub-groups.
Visit the Financial Planner page regularly. At each visit check from the overview page whether you have ungrouped or incorrectly grouped transactions and correct them. Observe the use of the budgets and analyse your expenses and income. Occasionally do it for a longer period.

Most pre-tied bow ties you can spot a mile away! The reason is that they are machine made bow ties where the knot is not real, it's just a piece of fabric wrapped around the tie to look like a knot. Our pre-tied bow ties are actual self-tie bow ties that we individually hand knot and then our seamstresses permanently lock tight with an invisible stitch. This way, even an expert bowtier would not be able to tell whether you tied it or knot! The second mark of a well made pre-tied is a quality hook and clasp to attach the neckband. Our clasp is really something special with the look and feel of fine jewelry.
The difference between a machine made and hand knotted pre-tied is night and day. Once you try a hand knotted pretied bow tie you will never go back! Our pre-tied bowties are second to none with their hand tied knots and gorgeous jewelry quality clasp. Try one of our exquisite already tied bow ties today and see the difference for yourself.
All bow ties shown below are in stock pre-tied bows and ready to ship when ordered.
Pre-tied bow ties are also available in almost any of our 430 designs shown throughout our website. Allow 10-14 days for us to make up any pre-tied bow tie not shown on this page.


Responding to Mark Cuban: More is not always better.
While I'm a fan of Cuban's Shark Tank, and I respect his business acumen immensely, there are a couple of things wrong with this. It's worth discussing them in detail.
First of all, people presume that tests are binary things. They're not. When you get a blood test, it doesn't come back "sick" or "well". It comes back with a number value. Let's say you're looking at WBC, or the number of white blood cells. You might get a reading of 7.0, which refers to the number of thousands in a milliliter. Is that good? Maybe. We think that most people should have a value of 4.5 – 10, but only because that's the range where most people fall. Further, there's no real meaning to the relative value. 6 isn't better than 9, or vice versa.
Let's say you get a 11. Are you sick? I don't know. White blood cell levels can be affected by so many things, like infections, allergies, or even stress. Do you have symptoms? Do you have other issues? If someone got this value without any other data – I'd have no idea what to do with it. You have to interpret it – in context – and that can't be done by a lay person quarterly. Moreover, these numbers can change all the time, with no correlation to anything we can recognize. It's not like if you've been 6 for years, and were suddenly 8, that you should worry.
This is why I teach residents and medical students never, ever to order blood tests unless they are looking for a specific problem. Do you think that the patient is anemic? Then it makes sense to check a hematocrit value (the number of red blood cells). Are you worried they might have diabetes? Then you should check a glucose value. But getting those tests in a vacuum isn't helpful at all.
This leads to the second problem. When a lab test picks up something that isn't real, it's called a false positive. It's a lab value that is "abnormal" but there really isn't a health issue. When someone is healthy, an abnormal value is much more likely to be a false positive than a true positive. This is especially true when a test has a low "specificity".
Specificity is a test characteristic which refers to the proportion of people who are healthy who have a negative test. If it's low, then it means that too many healthy people are having a positive test. A random blood test would have a very low specificity, because an abnormal value would have a disproportionately high probability of being wrong in predicting whether you should be concerned.
Most people, even physicians, have a hard time ignoring "abnormal" lab values. They want to work them up. This leads to excess testing, potential harm, and a lot of money wasted. False positives are just that – false. You wind up on a "diagnostic Odyssey" where you chase abnormal value after abnormal value, and never get to the end.
I'll give you an anecdote to illustrate this. When I was in medical school, I had some belly pain that was pretty bad. I was admitted to the hospital, which was overkill, and it resolved overnight; I was absolutely fine the next day. But since I was a med student, they didn't want to miss anything. They got extra tests, even though I was healthy. There were some abnormal values, and they felt compelled to follow them up. I eventually wound up having every test you can imagine including CT scans, echocardiograms, x-rays, endoscopy, and even cystoscopy (go look that up to sympathize with me). In each test, something else "abnormal" was found. None of them led to any real problems or diagnoses. They were all pretty much false positives, because I was healthy.
I understand what Cuban is driving at. We've all been told that data are important and that more is the future. But it's important to understand the difference between using data in the aggregate to generate hypotheses, and using data on individuals to make decisions. Collecting blood from millions of people many times during the year might help us to learn new things about detecting disease in the future. It's great for research and even investment. But it's not clear it's good for any one person. We don't know what to do with the results at this point.
We should get tests when we have evidence that they will help. We should get them when we expect they will do more good than harm. At this time, there's no reason to believe that for any individual, quarterly blood tests would fit these criteria.


Not aware of any third party 5 volts x 3 amperes power supplies, so finding a replacement might be difficult.
Can you provide either a close up picture of the sticker on the power brick or provide the specifications listed? I'm assuming 5v DC output as it's a USB connector, but how many watts is it rated for?
I read the manual, and it says that this doesn't work with 4K sector drives. Did you try any 4k sector drives? And do you know if this applies to only the docking mode (which is how it seems to me) or if it's a cloning limitation as well?
Pretty disappointing to anyone who isn't running servers. Too bad Intel gives their "enthusiasts" whom are willing to spend more money older technology than their counterparts. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a bad idea.
I can't believe it took someone this long to finally do something about those ugly connectors! Thanks for the quick review.
Thanks for the review, was thinking about getting this but can clearly see it won't do squat in my phone. Btw, you should try testing these out in a camera with burst mode to see where/when you hit the burst limit.
That's not mini-ITX, it's mini-ATX; big difference (pun intended).
Nice to see you stepping up the game for your PSU reviews with better voltage and ripple measurements.
Can I suggest adding a 110% load measurement to see how the PSU deals with overload situations? Some just die (i.e., shut off) while others will still run without issues.
Thanks LR, count me in!

Perhaps if you dropped the magnet onto you HDD, but then again I'd be skeptical that the magnet would be strong enough even in direct contact.
Thanks for the quick review, just ordered one. I hope it doesn't crap out in a few months like Major_A mentioned.
Thanks for the review. I was worried this wouldn't hold up to the UHS-1 standard, but it sure looks like they do well. And thanks for the heads up on the issue with that card reader you tried, as well as suggesting the GoLite.
