Wayne Stenehjem Expected To Officially Announce Gubernatorial Campaign On November 24
November 15, 2015 | by Rob Port
It's been a foregone conclusion that Wayne Stenehjem, who has served as North Dakota's Attorney General since 2000, will be announcing a campaign for governor at some point this year. After all Stenehjem, by his own admission, has formed a preliminary campaign committee and has not been returning tens of thousands in contributions already flowing in.
I can now report a definite date for an official announcement of the campaign. On Tuesday, November 24, Stenehjem will announce that he's seeking the NDGOP nomination for governor. The announcement will take place at the Heritage Center at the capitol in Bismarck. There will be a fundraiser for the campaign afterwards at the Bismarck Arts & Galleries Association.
Stenehjem will make the second official NDGOP candidate in the race. Rep. Rick Becker has already announced his campaign officially, as well as a campaign committee.
With Stenehjem's entrance, and with state Senator Tom Campbell expected to say he won't be running tomorrow, it would seem only two question marks remain for Republicans in 2016, at least for the gubernatorial race.
Treasurer Kelly Schmidt said she's interested in running back in September, though has been quiet on that front since. Fargo businessman Doug Burgum is considering running as a Republican – early reports that he might run as an independent seem extremely unlikely at this point – and has yet to announce a decision.
For Democrats they have a long list of candidates who say they won't run for governor, and one blast-from-the-past in the person of Sarah Vogel who says she's considering it. Vogel has a track record of electoral success in the state though hasn't held office in roughly twenty year.s

We know our 'allusions' from our 'illusions', exactly when to use a semi-colon and the difference between 'historical' and 'historic'.
By the time you've worked long and hard on producing exactly the document you want, you'll be over-familiar with its contents. When you know the ideas that you wanted to communicate inside out, it can be hard to spot any slip-ups or points where what you've written isn't exactly what you meant. We'll review your work from a reader's perspective – with a fresh, unbiased pair of eyes.
The prices are all based on word count and there are just three price bands, so you can easily estimate how much it will cost you to get your document proofread or copy-edited. Send us your document and we'll quickly confirm which price band your writing falls into, depending on how easy it will be to work on.
Feel uncomfortable about handing over your precious work to someone else to make changes? Don't worry, you can review all of the changes we make using the 'Track Changes' feature in Word. This allows you to approve or reject any of the changes yourself, keeping you fully in control of how your text is edited.
Reviewing the changes also gives you feedback on your work by highlighting grammar and spelling issues that you may not have been aware of previously. Having this information for future reference can even help to make you a better writer.
Ok, but why should I pay for proofreading when I have access to a spellchecker?
An electronic spelling and grammar check is no substitute for review by an intelligent language specialist. Our proofreaders and editors are expert communicators who not only have an excellent knowledge of English spelling and grammar, but – as human beings – can recognise every type of error. Whereas a computer checks blindly, ignoring the fact that you wrote 'form' instead of 'from' and 'affect' where you meant 'effect', these are exactly the kind of mistakes that proofreaders are trained to pick up on.
If you've used non-standard language for any reason – poetic licence, transliterations, unusual punctuation – our proofreaders will understand why and will be able tell the difference between deliberate language choices and unwanted errors.

Diagnosis, Workup and Treatment
It is very important to determine if this patient's visual loss involved the right eye or the right field of vision. This distinction is often difficult for patients to determine, unless they have covered each eye alternately. This patient had determined, by cross-cover, that the visual loss was just in his right eye. Knowing this fact constricts the differential diagnosis to conditions affecting only the right eye.
Determining the nature of the vision loss is important as well. The patient very clearly and reliably described his visual change as that of a "white cloud." This was not a black out—the patient had not lost all sight. Vision gradually recovered over a period of hours as the white cloud became less dense. This type of visual loss is not typical for amaurosis and cannot be easily explained on the basis of ischemia. Instead, all evidence points to transient obscuration of the media of the right eye.
The complete rapid recovery of vision between episodes, the absence of typical systemic symptoms, and a normal-appearing optic nerve make GCA a less likely cause. The monocular nature rules out vertebral basilar insufficiency, and the character of vision loss makes other ischemic phenomena highly improbable. Loss of vision did not occur only in certain positions of gaze, ruling out compression from an orbital mass. Intermittent angle closure can cause symptoms such as those noted, but would be highly unlikely in a pseudophakic patient.
The only reasonable diagnosis in this patient is transient "debris" in the media. This can occur with massive release of pigment in certain types of uveitis, most notably herpetic, or with bleeding into the anterior chamber or the vitreous. With vitreous bleeding, however, clearing does not occur rapidly. Possibilities include Fuchs' Heterochromic Iridocyclitis, eosinophilic granuloma, and, most probable here, Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphema (UGH) Syndrome. Gonioscopy is key to this diagnosis, especially after the vision has cleared. Seeing blood in the inferior angle is diagnostic. Occasionally gonioscopy also permits noting a misplaced haptic or an iris or ciliary body lesion.
The patient was started on brimonidine in his right eye and ultrasound biomicroscopy was performed. UBM was not classic for UGH, as there were no obvious areas of contact between the IOL-bag complex and the posterior iris. However, there were two suspicious areas, one where there was an Elschnig pearl at 6 o'clock (See Figure 1) and another with a membranous cyst at 12 o'clock (See Figure 2). Both were in close proximity to the posterior iris surface. There was also a suspicion that the temporal haptic was abutting the ciliary processes. Given the high clinical suspicion for UGH, surgery was planned for IOL repositioning or exchange.
During surgery, it was confirmed that the IOL optic and haptics were completely intracapsular; however, there was very little zonular support. The IOL rotated freely with even minimal manipulation and actually subluxed during the surgery. The entire IOL-bag complex was removed and an ACIOL inserted. Postoperatively, the patient did well, with best-corrected visual acuity of 20/30 and no additional episodes of vision loss.
Originally described in 1978 as a complication of intraocular chafing by first generation anterior chamber IOLs, UGH syndrome is now more commonly seen with posterior chamber IOLs. This may be due to the less-frequent use of ACIOLs or their improved design. UGH syndrome is caused by poor IOL positioning that results in chafing of uveal tissue by the IOL-bag complex. In one case series of UGH patients, the most common sites of contact were the iris pigment epithelium (50 percent) and the pars plicata (38 percent). Time from IOL insertion to onset of symptoms can be quite variable, ranging from one week to eight years in the same case series.
Symptoms of UGH include rapid reduction in vision over several minutes with gradual resolution over hours to days. Vision loss is typically described as a clouding or blurring of vision ("white out"). There is never complete loss of light perception in UGH. Some patients may have an ache in the affected eye, and some may complain of a reddish tinge to their vision (erythropsia). It is important to note that not all three components of the syndrome are needed to make the diagnosis.
Diagnosis of UGH can be difficult if the patient is not examined during an active episode of vision loss, and misdiagnosis and unnecessary testing are common. The presence of fresh or clotted blood in the anterior chamber angle inferiorly is diagnostic. Our patient went undiagnosed for one year, and it was not until he presented during an actual episode that the diagnosis was made. As a consequence, he was diagnosed and treated for GCA, and was also worked up for stroke, vertebrobasilar insufficiency and amaurosis fugax.
It is especially important to differentiate UGH from amaurosis fugax, which is the most common cause of transient monocular vision loss. There are several case reports of patients with UGH who were initially diagnosed with and treated for amaurosis fugax. Many of these patients were treated with aspirin, and one was even started on warfarin. These aberrant treatments increased the severity and frequency of their symptomatic episodes of microhyphema.
There are several key features that help to distinguish vision loss due to UGH from that due to amaurosis fugax. In amaurosis, patients experience complete loss of light perception in at least one section of their visual field, while UGH patients experience a generalized clouding of their vision, but never with complete loss of light perception. Onset and resolution are also much more rapid in amaurosis fugax, on the order or seconds to minutes, as opposed to hours to days in UGH. The key to differentiating UGH and amaurosis fugax begins with a thorough history of the timing and nature of vision loss and then examining the anterior chamber angle.
Definitive treatment of UGH includes surgical intervention to reposition or replace the offending lens implant. Studies have estimated that UGH accounts for approximately 10 percent of IOL exchanges.
In the past it was believed that UGH did not occur when the IOL was completely intracapsular; however, this is not true. The first report of UGH in the setting of complete intracapsular fixation of the PCIOL occurred in a case where an iridociliary body cyst was present that was chafing the posterior iris surface. Our patient may represent a similar scenario where complete intracapsular fixation was confirmed at the time of surgery and there was documented proximity of an Elschnig pearl and a membranous cyst to the posterior surface of the iris.

If you want to cover up stained or discoloured teeth, to straighten teeth that are slightly crooked or to make other cosmetic changes to your smile, your dentist may suggest veneers. These are thin layers of material that dentists can bond to the front of teeth to change their external appearance.
Dental veneers may be made from porcelain (ceramic) or a composite resin made of plastic and glass. Both types of veneers have their pros and cons and both have clinical risks that your dentist will make sure you understand before you consent to a procedure.
If you choose porcelain veneers, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth that can be used to make your custom veneers. Once these have been manufactured, they can be bonded into place.
Unlike porcelain veneers that are made externally and bonded into place, composite veneers are built up directly on the tooth surface. This often allows them to be completed in a single visit to the dental clinic.
The risk of complications and side-effects from veneers is low when the treatment is provided by a qualified and experienced dentist. However, your dentist should inform you of all the possible risks during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.
If you don't think veneers are the right choice for you, your dentist may discuss alternatives to whiten teeth or change their shape and appearance, such as teeth whitening, a dental crown or composite bonding.
To find out more about porcelain and composite veneers and other cosmetic treatments available at Tewantin Dental Centre in Noosa, book a consultation with our dentists today.

Global Warming Will Cause War, Pestilence, Famine and Death, Says New IPCC Report Inevitably
James Delingpole
Today sees the release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) latest findings on the state of "global warming" and the news isn't good.
Here are some of the highlights:
Giant malarial mosquitoes the size of crane flies may descend en masse and drain us of our blood so quickly with their powerful razor sharp probosces that we won't even have time to be infected – we'll be dead before we hit the floor;
Bangladesh, Tuvalu, The Maldives and Florida will all be submerged;
Four horsemen with skulls for faces, glowing red eyes and huge scythes will gallop across the blighted land on skeletal horses spreading fire, pestilence, famine, and disease. Men will pray for the quick release of death. Children will clutch their parents and say: "Why didn't we listen?";
The populations of horrid things like cockroaches and scorpions will quintuple, while all the cute animals – wrens, robins, meerkats, baby polar bears, kittens, sea otters – will vanish as if they had never been;
Men will say openly that Christ and His saints slept;
There will be war, war and more war.
We know this because the Guardian's Suzanne Goldenberg is on the case. She has got in her climate doom predictions early and though she based her report on a leaked sneak preview rather than the finished document, she has undoubtedly captured the general tone, which is this: things are even worse than we thought!
And are things really even worse than we thought?
Not exactly, no. The real take-home story of the new report we already learned last week: that the latest estimates of the economic costs of "climate change" are considerably lower than previous projections; so much lower, in fact, that the costs could be offset by just a month's global economic growth.
It's to obscure this inconvenient truth that the Big Green Propaganda Machine will now be cranking into overdrive. Over the next few days – watch and listen: they'll be all over the MSM like a suppurating pox rash – "expert" after "expert" will be dragged out of the woodwork to testify that, no, this time it's serious and as a measure of the serious seriousness of it all it's really about time we silenced those Big-Oil-funded climate deniers for good. Throw them in jail, at any rate.
Over the weekend we saw none other than the ex-Archbishop of Canterbury, the bearded wizard Rowan Williams, sticking his crozier in:
Rich, industrialised countries, including our own, have unquestionablycontributed most to atmospheric pollution; the development of profitableheavy industry relied on what we now think of as "dirty" energy sources, andinvolved environmental degradation on an unprecedented scale. Both ourpresent lifestyle in the developed world and the history of how we createdsuch possibilities for ourselves have to bear the responsibility for pushingthe environment in which we live towards crisis.
This coincided with a report Taken By Storm by the charity he heads – Christian Aid – demanding "decisive action" to combat climate change.
The WWF is making similar demands:
Samantha Smith, leader of the WWF Global Climate & Energy Initiative says the report highlights, for the first time, the dramatic difference of impacts between a world where we act now to cut emissions, which now come mostly from using fossil fuels; and a world where we fail to act quickly and at scale.
"This report tells us that we have two clear choices: cut emissions now and invest in adaption – and have a world that has challenging and just barely manageable risks; or do nothing and face a world of devastating and unmanageable risks and impacts."
Even the US Defense Department – to its eternal shame – has been co-opted into the green propaganda war. Last month it published its Quadrennial Defense Review, claiming that "climate change" could be a "threat multiplier."
Climate change poses another significant challenge for the United Statesand the world at large. As greenhouse gas emissions increase, sealevels are rising, average global temperatures are increasing, andsevere weather patterns are accelerating. These changes, coupled withother global dynamics, including growing, urbanizing, more affluentpopulations, and substantial economic growth in India, China, Brazil,and other nations, will devastate homes, land, and infrastructure.Climate change may exacerbate water scarcity and lead to sharp increasesin food costs. The pressures caused by climate change will influenceresource competition while placing additional burdens on economies,societies, and governance institutions around the world. These effectsare threat multipliers that will aggravate stressors abroad such aspoverty, environmental degradation, political instability, and socialtensions – conditions that can enable terrorist activity and other formsof violence.
This is about as close to meaningless nonsense as makes no difference – as, no doubt, a good many in the US military are more than aware. But it is the inevitable consequence of the way the climate change worm has infected almost every major institution from the scientific academies and the universities to the various departments of government.
Unfortunately, it has given the IPCC just the excuse it needed to shoehorn war into its long list of things that might be caused some time in the future by global warming. As Seth Borenstein – AP's answer to Suzanne Goldenberg – reports it in his usual breathless fashion:
In an authoritative report due out Monday a United Nations climatepanel for the first time is connecting hotter global temperatures tohotter global tempers. Top scientists are saying that climate changewill complicate and worsen existing global security problems, such ascivil wars, strife between nations and refugees.They're notsaying it will cause violence, but will be an added factor making thingseven more dangerous. Fights over resources, like water and energy,hunger and extreme weather will all go into the mix to destabilize theworld a bit more, says the report by the Nobel Peace Prize-winningIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Yeah, Seth, whatever. But you didn't get the stuff about the giant mosquitoes, did you? Or the four horsemen? Or the scorpions eating all the baby polar bears?

NBA Draft 2017: Welcome to the League!
One question: How much will this new found fame affect the person, the athlete?

Congratulations to the successful basketball players of the 2017 NBA Draft
By JARRETTE FELLOWS, III
As a former collegiate athlete, I often find myself drifting in and out of nostalgia when it comes to the NBA Draft. I can recall all of the hard work I invested to get noticed by colleges, the extra work put in after practices to earn more minutes of playing time, the satisfaction when I excelled on the court, and the resultant accolades from my peers.
When you ascend to the highest level — professional sports — it is very difficult to gauge how much your life is going to change. You already are popular, as the college where you competed has acclaimed your name and everything about you. You're suddenly approached by strangers and solicited for many requests. Extended family members emerge from the farthest corners of the past in your memory banks to ask a favor or two. Or better yet, you become more attractive to the droves of hangers-on, fighting for your attention.
Jarrette Fellows, III
The one question that continues to pop into your head is, how much will this new found fame affect the person, the athlete?
Having fallen prey to some of the traps presented in college, I am all too familiar with the pitfalls lurking around the corner for a professional athlete. I have several friends who played professionally and all of the traps and distractions out there never leave and will remain in plain sight for athletes to decide whether or not the risk is worth taking.
For those who come from adverse backgrounds, I only hope you keep the harsh memories in mind. Those memories drove me to strive and earn my college degree. Going backward was not an option.
In the 2017 NBA Draft, I am extremely excited for those of you whose lives dramatically changed in one night. I will continue to follow your basketball career for better or for worse, as I am a basketball fan first and your careers are very important to me. I can only live vicariously through your successes as I didn't make it as far as you have. I will never yearn for your downfall, only triumphs (unless you're playing against my team — I am yet a fan, remember?).
While this may seem as yet another rant from yet another blogger, it is nonetheless genuine and comes from a sincere place — memories of a successful collegiate career. My only wish is that you, who are now young millionaires remember where you came from and continue to do the positive things that elevated you to the plateau for which you find yourselves today.

I hear it's possible but I don't understand how to configure the BIOS for an SD card. When I install a hard drive, I have to enter all that typical info: # of heads, etc. If I use an IDE to SD adapter to hook up an SD card, what info would I enter for the drive info?

That makes sense. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

How To Create "Evil" Characters For Your Rpgs
Game Gaming Guide
Carlo June 15, 2020 June 10, 2020
Role-playing games have evolved a great deal since their initial rise to success in the 1970's. Back then, it was quite common to find both college and high school students gathered around coffee tables in their parent's basement, calculating endless amounts of statistics, modifiers and attributes for hours on end. Those days are nearly over – today's youth find the lure of graphic-based video games too appealing to resist. After all, why use your imagination, and do what amounts to a good deal of bookwork just to play a game, when it's so easy to just switch on the television and grab a video game controller.
But there are still some dedicated individuals who enjoy the traditional pencil and paper role playing games as they once were, and of course many others enjoy the more recent incarnations of such games; Diablo, Neverwinter Nights, and World of Warcraft are just a few of the more popular video game titles that are based (at least in concept) on pencil and paper role playing games.
Many of these games allow players to create their own worlds, complete with monsters, challenges and treasures that are all dreamed up and positioned by the player. This mimics the role of a "Dungeon Master" or "Storyteller" in a traditional pencil and paper role playing game – the player who sets up the world and dictates when and why everything happens in the game. And one of the biggest challenges to those who are developing their own story or game world is in the creation of believable, evil characters for your good players to face off against. Just like GTA where gta 5 mods ps3 is present, some players can also modify some aspects of the game in RPG. So, if you want more fun and excitement when playing RPG, you may want to consider using mod menu.
Evil characters may have any number of different motivations. Greed is usually the most common motivating factor for a believable RPG villain, but nearly anything can work. Remember, however, that nobody truly thinks of themselves as being "evil" – even the most cruelest and wickedest of dictators still believes that their cause is the right one, and that they are doing a noble thing in pursuing their cause – no matter what the means are.
Remember that evil characters rarely act alone. Though secret agents or specialized fighters may be sent alone on a mission or to complete a task, they are almost always involved with some sort of group, and this group is usually nearby. And while evil leaders and kings may have the final say on everything that goes on in their lands, their strength would be greatly limited without the backing of their loyal army.
While most evil characters make their alignment known simply by their looks or actions, for some it may be hard to tell whether or not they are "good" or "evil. These make for compelling and interesting characters, and can provide some challenge puzzles for your players to solve in order to find out a character's true identity.

As stated above, the educational requirements in Kansas are slightly stricter than that of most states. The State of Kansas maintains that you must have the minimum of a four-year degree, which would be a bachelor's degree, before you can be licensed. This is unusual because the majority of states only require an associate's degree.
Bachelors' degrees are usually used in this profession to work in specialty areas of radiology, like mammography. However, because your state requires this type of degree, you will be much further ahead that others who are just beginning to enter this career field. To make sure that there are no glitches and that your education is perceived with credibility, you should always aim at going to a school approved by the JRCERT.
There are some Kansas radiology technician schools, but you may not be aware that there are many online degree options for a radiology technician. Until recently, radiology students generally did not have the option of attending school in a virtual setting. However, now that the United States Department of Education has allowed the JRCERT to make affiliations and approvals over online schools, your choice of schools is truly unlimited.
Through campus or online programs, aspiring Radiology Technicians in Wichita, Overland Park and Kansas City, Kansas may be able to prepare themselves for the possibility of employment in some of the largest hospitals and healthcare facilities in the state including the St. Luke's Hospital of Kansas, Mid-America Rehabilitation Hospital and Wesley Medical Center.


Hot air balloons are the safest air planes, that fly in the sky all over the world.
A balloon is a structurally very simple plane and that is, why it does not subject to the "whims of technology". Except of that, it is controlled and tested regularly. Every 100 hours or every year of use the whole balloon set passes a strict control by the producer. So called "preflight" service is done before each flight – the pilot checks the balloonś ability to fly. Balloons are depending on meteorological conditions most of all air planes. In summer, balloons are able to fly cca from 6.00 am. to 9.00 am. and from 5 pm to 9 pm. In other seasons the intervals move closer to the noon. Ballooning can not be run safely, without risk, during storm, rain or snow shower, during thermal currents on the day and strong wind. Under normal circumstances, ballooning can be run to the wind speed of cca 14 kmph, when taking off from built-up areas or crowds of people, the limit goes to 7 kmph.The max.permissible speed of the wind, when the balloon stands still or is fastened, is 4 kmph. Ballooning above large cities is very limited by "ideal" weather. For safe ballooning sufficient speed is necessary, as the balloon must safely move to a suitable landing site. Landing into built-up area among houses, onto roads, into gardens or pitches is considered to be an emergency solution and each experienced pilot avoids those situations.
The pilot is always responsible for the safety of operation and the success of the event depends on his decisions. Do not force the pilot to fly and not to postpone your baloon ride. If he decides to change the take-off point or to cancel he ride, see it as his experience and good sense. Maybe, he has just prevented you from a risk and an unpleasant and dangerous experience.
We wish you a nice flight and smooth landing.

my project uses chai assertion library and mocha test framework, and throws this error until it iterates over all map files and then bail out finally.
Updating to TypeScript 1.3 helped with the issue.
Means you can works fine with VS2013.2 but after upgrade to VS2013.4, some problem exist?
I cannot provide more specific suggestions on that, but I think you would like to try fix the Visual Studio or reinstall Update 4 to see if it works.
James, yes, the issue is on VS2013 Update4. I am working off of two different systems, just to avoid such issues (and I did come across an issue with upgrading VS2013 update 2 to Update4), however in this case it's a fresh system with a fresh installation of VS2013 Update4.
Though I said upgrade, I meant a clean install, as a workaround I disabled *.js.map file generation, and its going well, however I wouldn't want that as a long term solution, just to unblock with my current activity.
Ricky, it's the same question (I posted here) on the wrong forum (and thanks to MS reporting site, which itself is a bug since it reverted to C# forum rather than TS forum where it should have been).
I would really appreciate if you'd have checked the other post before proposing that as an answer. Also, if there is a way to delete that post, that would be good.

Chatham Coast Guard Station Loses Surf Designation December 29, 2018
By: Tim Wood
CHATHAM – The home of the most famous surfboat crew in the history of the Coast Guard is no longer a surf station.

Scooter Braun's family 'received death threats' following Taylor Swift feud
"I think people need to come together and have a conversation," said Braun.
Music manager Scooter Braun says his family received "numerous death threats" after Taylor Swift said he was stopping her from playing her old hits.
The star has been vocal in her disapproval of Braun since his company bought her back catalogue in June.
She accused him of "incessant bullying", and said he had tried to sabotage an award show appearance.
Braun had remained silent on the feud but said threats to his family had forced him to change his mind.
"I came home tonight to find my wife had received a phone call threatening the safety of our children" he wrote in an open letter to Swift, which appeared on his Instagram account.
The 38-year-old also posted a screenshot of a text he'd received saying: "Why don't you just die with your children? I will buy a gun [tomorrow] and then shoot you all in the head."
Addressing Swift, he said: "I assume this was not your intention but it is important that you understand that your words carry a tremendous amount of weight and that your message can be interpreted by some in different ways.
"We are living in a time of pointless violence and as a husband and father I am concerned."
He called for the star to meet him and resolve their differences, while noting that his previous overtures towards Swift had all been rejected.
"Many have told me that a meeting will never happen as this is not about truth or resolution but instead a narrative for you. I am hopeful that is not the case," he said.
"I'm right here, ready to speak directly and respectfully. But if you would prefer to make large public statements while refusing to work towards resolving things amicably then I just pray that nobody gets seriously hurt in the process.
"I continue to wish you the best and hope we can resolve this."
Braun has two sons and a daughter, all under the age of four, with his wife, Yael Cohen.
The BBC has contacted Swift's representatives for a response.
'A lot of confusion'
Swift's animosity towards Braun is rooted in his work with Kanye West.
The rapper has been a thorn in her side for years: After interrupting her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Awards, he taunted her in song, and put a naked waxwork of her in one of his music videos.
Swift felt that Braun had encouraged and endorsed this behaviour; and exacerbated the hurt by posing for a photograph with West and Bieber that was posted to Instagram with the caption "What up Taylor?".
So when his company, Ithaca holdings, paid $300m (£232m) to acquire Swift's former record label, Big Machine, and take control of her first six albums earlier this year, the star interpreted it as an act of aggression, that "stripped me of my life's work".
The relationship has remained tense, with Swift announcing plans to re-record her early hits; and claiming Braun and Big Machine had tried to stop her performing her old hits on TV (for more context on that, read this article).
Braun's open letter to the star was posted a couple of hours after he made his first public statement on the feud, during a music industry conference in LA.
"It's gotten out of hand," he said, during a Q&A with Variety Magazine's Shirley Halperin.
"I just think we live in a time of toxic division, and of people thinking that social media is the appropriate place to air out on each other and not have conversations.
"I don't like politicians doing it. I don't like anybody doing it, and if that means that I've got to be the bad guy longer, I'll be the bad guy longer, but I'm not going to participate."
"The truth is, I have no ill will for anybody. And the moment people want to have a conversation with me, I'm ready to have that conversation."
Braun refused to address the specifics of Swift's grievance, or even to say her name, and insisted the matter should be resolved "behind closed doors".
"I haven't talked about this in six months. Not once. I haven't made a statement about it," he said.
"What I'll say is, people need to communicate, and when people are able to communicate, I think they work things out," Braun said. "These problems... can be discussed behind closed doors and figured out pretty easily, and it's something I've wanted to do for six months."

A really great place to pitch if you are newer to the biz, or even a seasoned producer, is at a conference or film festival. Conferences such as Hot Docs in Toronto, WestDoc in Los Angeles, Independent Film Week in New York, or IDFA in Amsterdam, will have pitching sessions where you can sign up to pitch to broadcasters and funders. You have to register for these conferences and pay a fee (and usually you have to apply to get a pitch session), but the connections you make from these pitch sessions can prove invaluable and could get you your funding.
If you've never heard of Fair Use, you are missing one of the most important developments to come down the documentary pike in recent years. We recently had a DOC TALKS webinar with attorney Michael C. Donaldson about this topic. When used properly, the Fair Use Safe Harbor can save you thousands and thousands of dollars when licensing film and music clips.
Did you know that as we approach year's end, it is a perfect time to be fundraising for a documentary film? Now is the time when private individuals and foundations assess their yearly budgets and how much money they need to give away by December 31st to get certain tax breaks.


As an adult, Labidomera clivicollis is 12 to 13 mm in length. It has a black head and a black pronotum. The elytra either have orange or yellow coloration, with dark blue to black splotches, with each side of the elytra exhibiting almost perfect symmetry. This species is oval and robust. The thorax is three times as wide as long and the elytral punctures are fine and arranged in irregular rows. Legs are a metallic blue color, and exhibit 4-4-4 tarsi, a typical chrysomelid characteristic. The last tarsi have a tan colored plate resembling a broad heart shape.
There is little information on the development of Labidomera clivicollis, but it is known that it has a typical beetle life cycle of egg, larva, pupa and adult. This species has 4 larval instars, and the last instar burrows in the ground to pupate. The last generation of the year overwinters as adults, and thus has a longer adult lifespan. The last generation is mostly inactive during diapause. The species has one generation in the north and at least two in the south.
This species has one generation in the north and two in the south.
Mating takes place in the summer in the north, and in the spring and late summer in the south.
There are no known positive effects of Labidomera clivicollis on humans.
There are no known adverse affects of Labidomera clivicollis on humans.
Labidomera clivicollis is not listed as an endangered or threatened species on any international, national, or state lists.

We stand in the courtyard before the double gates. Saladin filled in the one on the right. Two Muslim families have had the right to open the left-hand gate since 1246. They do so, together with one or more of the sextons, in a daily ceremony at 4 a.m. The sextons close the door again a quarter hour after sunset.
Still outside, to the right of these doors, a flight of steps leads up to the Tenth Station, where we remember the soldiers dividing Jesus' clothes (Mark 15:24 ).
We enter. At once, on the right, is a staircase with very high steps, leading up to Calvary. Here are two altars. The Latin one, on the right, marks the Eleventh Station, and the story is told before us in a mosaic: Jesus is nailed to the cross.
The left-hand altar, Greek Orthodox, stands at the Twelfth Station: the place where, according to tradition, the cross was set in the rock. The rock is exposed all around it.
Between these two large altars tradition locates the Thirteenth Station, the taking down of Jesus from the cross (John 19:38 ). The place is marked by a smaller altar, dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows.
Having taken time here, we descend by the staircase opposite the one we came up on. On our left is the Stone of Unction. Here, since medieval times at least, tradition has located the anointing of Jesus' body before burial (John 19:39-40 ).
The new mosaic behind the stone (1991) depicts the account till the burial.
From here we proceed to the Fourteenth Station, the tomb. The original was destroyed,as said , and this is a replica. While we wait, note the large chamber to the east. Today the Greek Cathedral, it was the Crusader choir and before that an open porch, beyond which Constantine's basilica stretched to the east.
For decades the area of the tomb was steeped in gloom, because the inner dome was masked by scaffolding. At last the Christian communities reached agreement on a design, and today we have an opening to the heavens, bringing light to the tomb, and bringing to mind the theme of Constantine's original church -- Anastasis, Resurrection.
We enter the tomb. The first chamber is the Chapel of the Angels (Luke 24: 1-9 ). The pedestal in the middle is believed to contain a fragment of the original rolling stone. The next chamber is the Sepulcher itself. On the right is a marble slab, marking the place for the body.
In consideration of people who may be waiting outside, one should limit oneself to three minutes.
Having thus completed the stations, we can go into the small chapel west of the tomb. Through an opening (and with the help of a flashlight or candle) we can make out shaft tombs which date to the period of the Passion, forming a vital part of the argument for the site's authenticity.
Then we may go to the Franciscan section north of the tomb. If the Chapel of Mary Magdalene is available, we enter it. If not, we can sit just outside. Either place is good for reading the passage about Magdalene's encounter with the resurrected Jesus.
We continue east and descend the steps to the Chapel of Helena. The new mosaic floor shows the most important Armenian churches, as well as Mt. Ararat with Noah's Ark. To the southeast, a small flight of steps leads into a cistern, where Helena (the Crusaders believed) found the true cross. This too is often a quiet place, where we may read and consider.
Ascending to the main level, heading around to the west, we find a chapel with a small, illuminated window. Through it we can see a bit of the rock of Calvary, cracked. It is the Chapel of Adam. An Eastern tradition holds that the blood of the last Adam trickled through the earth, making contact with the skull of the first, whose sin he had redeemed.

Mangaluru, Jan 23, 2017: With the aim of motivating oneself for the second or third attempt for the civil services exam; a need for a coaching institute was considered. How one should choose optional subjects.
These were points that civil services aspirants discussed with DK Superintendent of Police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase, Puttur Assistant Commissioner Raghunandan Murthy and IAS Probationer Gargi Jain on Sunday, during an awareness event for competitive exams, organised by the Athmashakthi Multipurpose Cooperative Society. SP Borase, a 2009 batch IPS officer, said that he cleared the civil services in his fourth attempt.
"Be consistent and work hard in your preparation. This alone will take you through," he said. "Moreover life does not come to an end with IAS and IPS," SP Borase said.
A 2015 batch IAS Officer, said aspirants needed to enjoy the process of preparation for civil services. Knowledge gained during this period expands the horizon. The aspirant should choose the coaching institute that serves his or her needs. A 2014 batch IAS Officer, said that vernacular language does not in the way hinder in writing the exam or in the result.
He mentioned his batchmate Gurudatta Hegde, ranked 25 in 2014, who wrote examination in Kannada. Its important to chose institutes that hold mock tests and gives aspirants the feedback about the preparation.


Vicki Gunvalson Suing Brooks Ayers For Fraud & Unpaid Personal Loans!
On March 29, the Real Housewives of Orange County star filed a lawsuit in Clark County, Nevada, against her ex-boyfriend, per court documents obtained by Page Six.
According to the outlet, the suit was filed in Nevada because it pertains to business dealings that occurred in Las Vegas.
The suit details how the Coto Insurance mogul began loaning money to Brooks Ayers in 2011, and on February 18, 2016, they entered into a written agreement. Brooks agreed to pay her back $184,899 and "provide an accounting of all sums paid to him in various income streams." But she claims that he never repaid the loan.
In addition,Vicki is seeking repayment for his legal fees related to a 2013 Nevada-based lawsuit. They "entered into a verbal agreement wherein Ayers borrowed $81,652.97 from Gunvalson" the court documents state but he never repaid her that sum either.
Vicki broke ties with Brooks back in 2015, after he admitted to falsifying medical records, leading the public to believe that he had cancer.
Brooks married Christy Groves Lindeman in March 2018 and Vicki moved on with Steve Lodge.

Putting Our Culture into Practice: Be Humble
For over two millennia, writers, scholars, and philosophers have found inspiration in the term "humility." Born in 551 B.C., Chinese philosopher Confucius is credited for a widely-known aphorism: "Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues." Fast forward nearly two thousand years, and you'll read similar words by famed British author C.S. Lewis. "Humility," stated Lewis, "is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less." Despite the separation of oceans, centuries, and major world events, both Confucius and Lewis hit upon a fundamental truth: that humility plays a central role in human behavior, and fosters positive relationships that are focused on the needs of others.
In keeping with the sage words of Confucius and C.S. Lewis, today's Align with Nine post takes an in-depth look at our Core Behavior #6: Be Humble.
It's Not About "You." It's About "Us."
We believe that the path of favorable interactions begins and ends with a focus on the good of the whole, not of the individual. How do we get – and stay – on this path? By following three basic principles, the first of which is to "check the ego at the door." That's right. We've all been there: it's human nature to let our egos get the best of us. Yet, in order to operate as effectively and cohesively as possible, we must consistently keep our egos in check.
Each day, we remind ourselves that our own egos and personal agendas must never take precedence over doing what's best for the team. Placing our concerns on counter-productive thoughts – who gets credit, who looks good, who looks bad – saps goodwill, energy and team morale. Making the best decision for the good of the enterprise must always be our paramount concern.
Inside Sales Manager Peter Sweet brings the need to stay humble back to the greater good. "At MECCO, no individual takes credit for our work – credit is always given to the team. And that's our goal: to stay cognizant of the team, to build the team so that, together, we reach a favorable end result."
Personal Responsibility: A Necessary Ingredient for Humility
Following the importance of checking our egos, our basic beliefs about humility are anchored in fact-gathering. We commit to being "quick to ask and slow to judge." We know that knee-jerk reactions never yield positive outcomes. That's why we gather facts before making judgments. Moreover, we remain curious about additional information, which often yields a more complete picture and sheds much-needed light.
Dave Sweet, President, believes that humility is about self-awareness. "Egos leads to divisiveness, which is simply not what we're about. Our successes are rooted in an ongoing understanding of the importance of the team, of the good of the entire organization. It's in the team that we find the most value in what we deliver to our clients."
Sweet's words segue into the third and final tenet of what we mean by humility: "taking responsibility." We judge situations not by what happens, but by how we respond. We own our actions and drive toward a successful solution, no matter the situation.
"Nobody is perfect here," says Sweet. "We're all working hard and we all need help. Life throws curve balls at all of us. It's what we do with them – how we react – that determines a successful outcome. And in those moments, being humble is of the utmost importance."
Ego-free. Fact-driven. Responsibility-focused. We'd like to think that Confucius and C.S. Lewis would agree with how we put humility into practice.
Watch this space for more insights about our culture. We'll be back in two weeks when we cover Core Behavior #7: Pursue Personal and Company Growth.

May 15, 2008 21:00 ET | Source: Marshall Edwards, Inc.
NEW CANAAN, CT--(Marketwire - May 15, 2008) - An abstract submitted to the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), May 30-June 3, Chicago, Illinois, entitled "Phase Ia Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of Oral NV-196 in Patients with Solid Tumours" is now available at www.asco.org (Abstract# 14615). The abstract reports on a human clinical study of oral triphendiol which demonstrated a good safety profile and successful pharmacokinetics. The trial was conducted by Professor Paul Mainwaring at the Brisbane Mater Adult Hospital in Brisbane, Australia.
NV-196, now known as triphendiol, was granted orphan drug status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma in January 2008 and for treatment of stage IIb-IV malignant melanoma in February 2008.
Laboratory testing in vitro and in animals bearing human pancreatic and bile duct tumors and in mice bearing human melanoma tumors has demonstrated the activity of triphendiol against these cancer cells. In mice bearing a human pancreatic cancer tumor, triphendiol administration resulted in a mean reduction in tumor volume by 62 percent compared with untreated control animals.
Professor Alan Husband, Group Director of Research for Marshall Edwards, says, "The study being presented at ASCO is an important step towards the clinical development of triphendiol. These data indicate that oral triphendiol appears to be safe and can be delivered effectively in humans.
"We will now be well placed to apply for an Investigational New Drug (IND) approval to continue into Phase II studies in the U.S. later this year," Professor Husband said.
There is an urgent need for new pancreatic cancer treatments because fewer than 20 percent of patients are candidates for surgery (pancreatectomy). Current treatment is limited to chemotherapy with gemcitabine, to which most patients are resistant or acquire resistance.
Pancreatic cancer is considered an "orphan" cancer because of its relatively low incidence and high mortality. In the U.S., it is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in men and women with the 5-year relative survival rate of 5 percent of patients with the disease(1). The American Cancer Society estimated the number of new cases of pancreatic cancer in the U.S. in 2008 as 37,680, with 18,770 cases diagnosed in men and 18,910 in women(1). An estimated 34,290 deaths from pancreatic cancer are expected in 2008(1).
Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis. The disease is difficult to diagnose in its early stage, and patients usually present with incurable disease. It has a high mortality rate, and no therapy has been shown to significantly impact survival.
Melanoma accounts for only 3 percent of all skin cancers; however, it causes the greatest number of skin cancer-related deaths worldwide(2). It is responsible for more than 77 percent of skin cancer deaths(2). An estimated 62,480 (34,950 men and 27,530 women) new cases with malignant melanoma, were expected to occur only in the US in 2008(1). An estimated 8,420 deaths from melanoma are expected in 2008(1).
Triphendiol (NV-196) is another investigational drug in the Marshall Edwards, Inc. oncology drug pipeline, currently being developed as an orally-delivered chemosensitizing agent, intended for use in conjunction with standard chemotoxic anticancer drugs for the treatment of late stage pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer), and melanoma. Triphendiol is broadly cytostatic and cytotoxic against most forms of human cancer cells in vitro, and has been shown to cause cell cycle arrest (or stop cells increasing in number) and to induce apoptosis (or initiate programmed cell death) in various cancer cell lines.
Biological studies suggest a mechanism of cytotoxicity that involves mitochondrial depolarization and down-regulation of XIAP. It exhibits high selectivity, little effect on non-tumor cells and no observable toxicity in animals at therapeutically effective doses. In human studies conducted so far, no adverse events or side effects have been reported when administered to volunteers.
Marshall Edwards, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSHL) is a specialist oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel anticancer therapeutics. These derive from a flavonoid technology platform that has generated a number of novel compounds characterized by broad ranging activity in laboratory testing against a range of cancer targets with low toxicity. The ability of these compounds to target an enzyme present on the surface of cancer cells, and inhibit the production of pro-survival proteins within the cancer cell suggests that they may possess a unique combination of efficacy and safety. Marshall Edwards, Inc. has licensed rights from Novogen Limited (ASX: NRT) (NASDAQ: NVGN) to bring three oncology drugs -- phenoxodiol, triphendiol (NV-196) and NV-143 -- to market globally. Marshall Edwards, Inc. is majority owned by Novogen, an Australian biotechnology company that is specializing in the development of therapeutics based on a flavonoid technology platform.
Novogen, based in Sydney, Australia, is developing a range of therapeutics across the fields of oncology, cardiovascular disease and inflammatory diseases. More information on phenoxodiol and on the Novogen group of companies can be found at www.marshalledwardsinc.com and www.novogen.com.

For drivers who rely on preowned cars to replace their older, worn-out current models, Japanese automaker Nissan offers a wide variety of dependable and stylish models that make ideal, reliable preowned cars for drivers on a budget. Since Nissan cars gained popularity in the United States more than fifty years ago, they have become renowned in the U.S. for their fuel efficiency, modern amenities, reliability, affordability, and sporty interior and exterior.
If you're in the market for a used car, Nissan gives you plenty of options. Nissan's lineup of car models is extensive—it includes sedans, SUVs, minivans, full-size trucks, etc.— and the majority of these models are available preowned. This range of options can get overwhelming for many drivers who aren't quite sure what they're looking for in a used vehicle. If you're in the market for a comfortable, stylish, practical preowned car, here are five of the best Nissan models to consider.
The 2014 Nissan LEAF is a top-rated compact car that is all-electric and offers a comfortable, quiet ride. It is impressively advanced for a 2014 EV—it can drive more than 80 miles on a single charge. The 2014 LEAF is also very affordable, with an average price range of $9,000 to $11,000 for preowned models.
Notable advancements that are new in the 2014 Nissan LEAF include a greatly reduced charging time, a rearview camera as a standard feature, and a better climate control system. The 2014 model's reduced charging time is especially significant, as it cuts battery charging time almost in half and allows the 2014 LEAF to reach a full charge in less than four hours.
The 2015 Nissan Versa is a classic subcompact car model. It is fuel-efficient and has a roomy interior that seats five people at a time. It gets about 30 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway. The best part about the 2015 Versa that sets it apart from other preowned subcompact car models is its affordability. A top-quality pre-owned 2015 Versa has an average price range of just $7,000 to $10,500.
Bluetooth connectivity comes as a standard feature in the 2015 Nissan Versa. In models from previous years, Bluetooth is not available as a built-in standard feature for the base trim level of the Versa. The 2015 Versa also features notable style updates for both its interior and exterior.
If you're in the market for a larger car rather than a classic sedan, the 2014 Nissan Juke ranks very highly among affordable subcompact SUVs. It is renowned for its safety as well as the high performance of its powerful four-cylinder engine and continuously variable automatic transmission that allows for fast and responsive acceleration. Plus, the 2014 Juke offers very impressive fuel efficiency—especially among other SUV models that are five years old or older. It gets about 27 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.
Preowned models of the 2014 Nissan Juke are very affordable, with an average price range of $10,500 and $15,000. The 2014 Juke model does not come with many notable upgrades, so a 2012 or 2013 preowned Juke is another cost-efficient option if you can't find a used 2014 Juke with a price tag that fits into your budget.
The 2015 Sentra is a popular preowned Nissan model. This top-rated compact car is an ideal family car with a comfortable interior and plenty of room in the backseat and trunk. It seats five people and is also an excellent commuter car—it offers an impressive gas mileage of 30 MPG on city streets and 40 MPG on the highway.
If you're deciding between a preowned 2015 Sentra and an earlier Sentra model, it's important to note that the most significant upgrades in the 2015 model are new and improved high-tech features including Bluetooth connectivity and a USB port for charging your mobile devices on the go. The 2015 Sentra is also the first Sentra model to feature built-in cruise control. The average price range for a preowned 2015 Nissan Sentra is between $11,500 and $14,500.
The Altima is a very popular Nissan model; the 2015 Altima is renowned as an affordable midsize sedan that is high-performing, safe and reliable. Its interior seats five people and is stylish and comfortable with a luxurious look and feel. It has a strong V6 engine but still offers an impressive gas mileage of about 25 MPG on city streets and 35 MPG on the highway.
Preowned models of the 2015 Nissan Altima usually cost between $14,000 and $18,500. There are few notable upgrades between the 2013, 2014, and 2015 Nissan Altima beyond basic annual updates. If you find a more affordable preowned Altima model from the past couples of years before 2015, you'll still get to enjoy the majority of the features that define the 2015 Altima.

In conjunction with today's earnings call, Micky Arison, chairman and CEO of Carnival Corporation, said in a statement that going forward the company remains committed to a measured pace of newbuilds and achieving a strategic balance of supply and demand in established markets. He noted that Carnival expects to direct capacity growth toward the continued development of emerging markets.
Howard Frank, vice chairman and COO, said on the call that next year, Carnival brands will increase their capacity by 8.5 percent in the Asia-Pacific region, while slowing the pace of growth in North America and Europe.
Frank said that Costa is expected to turn a small profit with one ship in Asia this year, hence it is moving a second ship there next year, and expect both to be profitable.
He described Europe as challenging, but said that once the markets get through all their difficulties and there is some stabilization, he expects to see very positive returns. Frank also noted that AIDA was the company's best performing European brand and used the opportunity to congratulate Michael Thamm, CEO of Costa Crociere and overseeing AIDA, and formerly president of AIDA; and Michael Ungerer, named president of AIDA since this past July, and formerly senior vice president of fleet operations.
