When we think of helping a loved one with hearing loss who declines use of hearing aids, we often think of how important it is to repeat ourselves, speak clearly, speak louder or interpret what others say if they cannot hear the message. But when we do these good deeds for loved ones with a hearing loss, what we don't realize is that we're assisting in their failure to seek help. Such well-intended efforts are counterproductive to the ultimate goal of them receiving hearing aids. Here's why.
If a loved one with a hearing loss has come to rely on your good hearing, what is the great need for them to wear hearing aids? Your co-dependent efforts must stop in order for them to grasp the magnitude of their problem. Many people with a hearing loss never realize how much communication they actually fail to understand or miss completely because you have become their ears. However, it takes only a short time for them to realize that without your help, they're in trouble. It is through this realization that one becomes inspired to take positive action to solve their problem. Therefore, as a loving spouse or family member you must create the need for your loved one to seek treatment by no longer repeating messages and being their ears. Your ultimate goal is for them to hear independent of you.
Stop repeating yourself! Explain that you are on a "Hearing Help Quest"—one that involves your loved one by allowing him or her the opportunity to realize the significance of their hearing loss. Do not stop helping though. All you do is preface what you repeat by saying each time, "Hearing Help!" or some other identifier. In a short amount of time, your loved ones will realize how often you say this. In turn, they will come to realize how often they depend on you. (This suggestion is only for a loved one who resists the idea of getting any help).
Stop raising your voice (then complaining you're hoarse).
Stop being the messenger by carrying the communication load for the family. Do not tell your loved one "He said" and "She said" when he or she needs to be responsible for getting this information directly from the source.
Do not engage in conversation from another room as tempting as this is and as convenient as it appears. This sets up your communication process for failure.
Create a telephone need. This means for you to stop being the interpreter on the telephone. Allow your loved one to struggle in order to recognize how much help he or she needs. We're looking for motivation (to hear) from your loved one—not you.

Nosaj Thing Parallels Innovative Leisure
Nosaj Thing, real name Jason Chung, rose to prominence on the same wave of lopsided rhythms that washed Flying Lotus into the public eye, but his musical palette has always been wider than the distinctive LA beat sound, embracing more ambient and ethereal aesthetics in his remixes and own material.
Along the way, Chung has established a respectful reputation among his peers, demonstrated in the calibre of artists (Jon Hopkins, Jamie xx, Dorian Concept) queuing up to remix his 2009 debut, Drift. His next album, Home introduced vocal collaborator Kazu Makino on the beautiful Eclipse/Blue.
Makino also features on Parallels, Chung's fourth album. Her sorrowful lament to a disenfranchised relationship on How We Do is, unlike her previous collaboration, pretty unremarkable, with Chung's melody and production sounding worryingly generic. Chung has described this album as the result of a personal and musical 'identity crisis'. But if the melancholia that takes centre stage flows from a place of genuine turmoil, the execution is at times disappointingly lacking. There are some striking moments: lead single All Comes Back To You (a collaboration with vocalist Steven Spacek) is a menacing ballad and deeper in the album, Get Like is powered by a funeral-march rolling rhythm. But because of the simplicity of the vocal collaborations and the gentleness of the material, the album as a whole feels contemplative to the point of becoming grating. Another vocal collaboration (Way We Were with Zuri Marley) befalls a similar fate: Marley's general-purpose emoting is paired with soft-focus production, and the end result is beige and bland. Nosaj Thing material has always walked a nuanced line between subtle aesthetics and killer hooks, but despite some flashes of brilliance, on Parallels there's an absence of both.

At Worcester church forum, area Muslims explain faith in the face of fears
Steven H. Foskett Jr. Telegram & Gazette Staff @SteveFoskettTG
Dec 3, 2015 at 11:26 PM Dec 3, 2015 at 11:34 PM
WORCESTER - At a panel convened Thursday night at Wesley United Methodist Church on Main Street, local Muslims said terrorist acts like the recent attacks in Paris were as reprehensible to them as they were to anyone else.
But for them the news of the attacks - and news about any terrorist attack, really - also add layers of frustration and fear that their Islamic faith would be blamed.
"It's so frustrating," said Madeline "Dina" Errishi, a Muslim who converted to the faith 23 years ago after a Roman Catholic upbringing. "It's so disheartening to always feel the need to explain yourself."
Sponsored by the church's chapter of the United Methodist Women, the panel was an outgrowth of a relationship forged between the women's group and the Worcester Islamic Center. It's sort of a religious exchange program; members of the group over the summer attended a service at the mosque during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, said Margaret Watson, a member of the women's group.
She said the aim Thursday night was to have the panel go through the basic principles of Islam, a religion practiced globally by 1.6 billion people. She quoted an old hymn that says "we shall know each other better when the mists have rolled away."
There's a lot of mist out there right now. One Republican presidential candidate has discussed the prospect of creating a national registry of Muslims in America, and the country's response to the Syrian refugee crisis has been framed around assessing the risk of terrorists sneaking in after the Paris attacks.
The panelists presented their faith Thursday as in many ways similar to any other religion - structured around basic pillars and ideas, with requirements and rules that serve as a guideline for daily life.
Asima Silva said that like any form of religious extremism, there are extremists who commit acts in the name of Islam. But Islam actually preaches peace and respect for other religions and cultures, and people who commit violent acts don't represent the views of the vast majority of Muslims.
Ms. Silva and the other panelists said the majority of Muslims are just like them - hardworking people who just want to be members of the community like everyone else.
Panelist Radija Frederick, who grew up in France. came to American as an exchange student, and moved to this area in 1996, said it has been tense in recent weeks. She said just a few days ago, she was in a grocery store - wearing a headscarf - when she noticed someone who quickly looked her way and stepped away.
"It's ignorance, and the media is not helping, the politicians are not helping," Ms. Frederick said.
The panel delved into some of the customs of Islam that are often cited as a sign of rigidity or being old-fashioned by those outside the faith. The hijab, or headscarf, is worn by many Muslim women in public. Ms. Errishi said she finds wearing a hijab very liberating - it means she doesn't have to be "sexualized" everywhere she goes.
"Someone has to know you, someone has to like you, someone has to respect you - for you," she said.
The hijab might outwardly appear to be some sort of statement on the subjugation of women, but the panelists argued Thursday night that in fact Islam in many ways is progressive on women's issues.
Panelist and Imam Abdul Latif of the Islamic Center of Rhode Island noted that not only can women work, but whatever they earn is considered their own income, separate from the family's. She of course can combine her income with her husband's, but she isn't required to, he said.
Ahmad Abojaradeh, a Worcester Polytechnic Institute graduate, director of mental health for Muslim Community Link, and a global compliance engineer for Avery Dennison, said several of his older sisters are civil engineers, computer engineers and architectural engineers. Not allowing women to attain equal status in work or education is purely a cultural influence that isn't found in the teachings of Islam, he said.
The discussion also touched on fasting during Ramadan and the five daily prayers required of all practicing Muslims. Ms. Frederick said she doesn't run into any problems doing it at work; she said her supervisor is flexible about giving her time to pray. Imam Latif said the daily prayers are about making sure God is in your life at all times. And in a practical sense, the prayers don't add up to more than an hour a day.
"You have 23 hours to yourself," he said.
Mr. Abojaradeh said the fasting during Ramadan is one of his favorite aspects of Islam; he said it builds compassion for those who don't have what you have. And Ms. Errishi said it's a shared ritual that brings the community together. She said every single night you can break the fast with members of the community.

Running game demos - The Walking Dead: All Out War
Details: Category: Miniature wargame	| Last Updated: 11 December 2020
I've gathered my recommendations about running demonstration games for the The Walking Dead: All Out War boardgame from Mantic Games.
Before you read further, I recommend you to read: Running game demos - Guidelines
I use the second tutorial scenario for demo games - it's pretty much the same as the scenario in the rulebook, but you don't have to think about setting up the scenery.
Optional rules for demonstration games - The Walking Dead: All Out War
No Threat: The game always stays in low threat, so the players get an easier time. Advantage: You don't have to bother with setting Threat. It's easier for the players to finish the game.
No Panic: Even if you use the Threat Tracker to increase the difficulty, do not use the morale of the characters. Advantage: You don't have to explain morale rules. You don't have to bother with checking morale. It's easier for the players to finish the game.
No save for the dead: If the walker gets a hit, don't roll Defense for them, just lay them on their side. Advantage: You roll less. It's easier for the players to finish the game.
Cooperative teams: The player teams belong to the same group of survivors, they just compete who gets the most loot. Advantage: The game becomes more friendly. It's easier for the players to finish the game.
Die by bite: The characters only die when they get bitten, and even then only when they roll a success on the black dice. It only works in cooperative mode, otherwise they would fight each other and get damage from other sources. Advantage: You don't have to track the wounds. It makes the game a bit easier for the players, as they can receive an unlimited amount of small wounds, but they die instantly on a bad roll after being bitten.
Everyone is generic: Every character have red dice in every ability, 5 wounds and no special rules. Advantage: You don't have to explain the special rules of the characters. The players don't have to bother with the special rules. Disadvantage: It makes it slightly harder to finish the game, if the zombies still get their own red dice, as it statistically increases their chances compared to the characters.
It would probably work better if every character would get a white dice in every ability. That would also make it easier for the players to finish the game.
Everyone is Rick: To give them better chances, play every character as if they have the abilities of Rick. Advantage: It's easier for the players to finish the game. Disadvantage: Unless you print or get more, you'll only have one Rick character card.
Just count the loot: Because there were several cases I didn't introduce equipment to the demos, and only used the basic abilities of the characters, we didn't draw cards for the loot, just collected them, and the player with the most marker was the winner.
Because the parents of some kids objected to zombie-themed games, quite understandably, we have come up with a retheme with some kids. The rules are the same, and they work well with the new theme too.
The zombies are animals, goblins, space aliens, or whatever you have miniatures for. There was a car-crash / spaceship crash, so there is some wreckage on the playing area, and the scavangers are looking for the loot, but the creatures sleeping nearby awoke, and roam the area. The characters have Tranquillizer guns they can use to put the creatures asleep.
When the players roll a wound on the creatures, they get sleepy, and get turned to their side, but at the end of every turn they roll a Black Dice to get up. If they roll a Special result for their attack, the creature falls asleep, and gets out of the game.
The Threat Tracker indicates the noise the players make. When the tracker reaches the end, the whole pack of creatures wake up and trample the area, making the game end.
When the creatures roll a Special result, they are so happy to meet the characters, they try to play with them. If they roll a hit, they played with them for a while. If they roll a Special result, they have licked the faces of the character. Any face-licked character has to roll a Black Dice at the end of the turn, and on a success, they have to go to wash themselves, and get out of the game. We didn't use wound points, but if you do, you can lower it, and they only go to have a shower, if they reach 0.
Optional rules - The Walking Dead: All Out War
Four player game: I let the players choose between Rick + Carl two-man teams, and the three-man scavenger teams. The games can get a bit confusing because of the events, but it's quick and bloody. Due to the noise and mayhem of the many participants, the Threat level ends the game in a couple of turns. The lack of extra rulers could make the game a bit slower, but on the basic playing area the distances will be so small, practically every move will be a Sneaking, so you won't really need them.
Further advice from The Walking Dead: All Out War demo organisers
Advice from Andrea Nedaras Pomelli:
When you play against a beginner, shoot a zombie with someone that will be lost due to Mayhem. It will teach him about the dangers of being surrounded.
Advice from Thomas Farley:
When you play as the organiser, you can control the zombies, so they don't have to bother with those too.
Advice from Andy Meechan:
Start at Threat 4.
Don't play Hold Nerve.
Don't play the YELLOW dice.
If there is time to play another game, explain these rules, and add them to a follow-up game.
Advice from Nagy Máté Farkas (Dwalin):
Use only the Core Set.
For 1 or 2 players, run the first scenario from the Core Set, with Rick, Carl and 4 zombies. 3 of the zombies are at the objective, 1 of them is in the middle. 1 car in the middle, 2 light cover beside it. You don't need to play the game, just assist the beginners.
If there are more than 2 players who are eager to play, you might try the second scenario from the Core Set.

Lil' Durango Big Kid Western Boot is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Papa dash from Great kids boots Best thing about these comfortable rock solid boots is that actually stretched with my sons foot 3 extra sizes. And the boots are still just as sturdy. Didn't want to press my luck a second Christmas so a new pair is under the tree for him.


Speaking about June 2, 1995 guest house case, Ms Mayawati said that SP president Akhilesh Yadav was very young that time and he has no relevance with that case.
Talking about the strategy for the Upper House polls, Mayawati said, 'a plan had been made that we come together so that the BJP candidate couldn't win the election. "'The Rajya Sabha election result will have no impact on the understanding between the BSP and SP and their conspiracy will cost them heavily as the workers of BSP and SP will now work with even more force to stop them from coming to power in 2019", she said.
"I welcome the views expressed by Mayawati-ji today".
"'There will not be an iota of difference in the close understanding between the BSP and SP because of the Rajya Sabha results yesterday", Mayawati said at a press conference.
However, Friday afternoon he agreed to sign the bill, because it would increase military spending, something he has championed. Thus, his conservative agenda was stripped away, in a pragmatic move to take the "throw him out of the WH" pressure.
BSP chief Mayawati has said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tried to break the newly formed alliance between her party and Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party (SP).
"If I had been in place of Akhilesh Yadav, I would have given first priority to BSP candidate rather than the SP candidate", she said.
"When her MLA voted for our Rajya Sabha candidate, then she says money is being used in elections, but when Om Prakash Rajbhar voted for them, she calls it a vote of conscience, Singh said, adding the Rajya Sabha elections were done in a transparent manner".
The BSP chief suspended her MLA Anil Singh, alleging he cross-voted in favour of the BJP to serve his business interests. "BSP candidate Bhimrao Ambedkar got all the votes as well as one vote extra", Misra said.
Hundreds who evacuated remained at a pop-up recovery centre at nearby Bega, under the care of charities and volunteers. Ms Lewis, who recently moved to the area, says it's well known the beachside town has limited mobile reception.
After the BJP won nine out of 10 Rajay Sabha seats seats, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had claimed that the election had exposed the "opportunistic face of SP".
'BSP should see and introspect that the party which supported them, actually betrayed them at the end, ' the Deputy Chief Minister said while taking a pot shot at the alliance.
At 10:35 AM, the BSE Sensex was trading at 33,121, down 54 points, while the Nifty50 index was trading at 10,171, down 24 point. The broader markets showed a mixed trend, with the mid-cap index moving up 0.21% and the small-cap index shedding 0.21%.
The central bank forecast two more rate rises for 2018, while predicting three more increases next year and two more in 2020. Central bankers see growth picking up this year and next, with GDP gaining 2.7 percent this year and 2.4 percent next year.
UNAMA also confirmed the incident and said on twitter "verifying disturbing reports of attack outside sports stadium in Helmand". At least 14 people were killed and 50 others wounded when people were celebrating Afghan New Year, Authorities said.
The Brazilian has also said that he has grown exhausted of the lack of competition in Ligue 1 as PSG now sit 14 points clear at the top of the table.
He charged that the investigation "manufactured" and based on "fraudulent and corrupt" evidence. "WITCH HUNT!" he tweeted. Sekulow said in a statement that Dowd was "a friend and has been a valuable member of our legal team".
The shooting also raised concerns among the Midwestern city's Somali American community, with worries about a possible backlash. Noor and his partner Matthew Harrity reportedly gave Damond CPR before backup arrived, but she was pronounced dead on the scene.
Bankruptcy Court Judge Keith Phillips to approve the liquidation timeline after the close of a hearing on the liquidation plan. Toys R Us is moving to close or sell all 735 of its United States stores after filing a motion to liquidate last week.
Mayor Troy Edgar said the bottom line came down to choosing federal law over state law. On the streets of Los Alamitos, opinion was divided.
However, Schecter, in a 19-page decision, ruled that there is "absolutely no authority for dismissing or staying the case". She also called the agreement an illegal donation from AMI to the Trump campaign in violation of federal election law.
Rebecca Carless, who appears in the video with her 4-year-old son Archie, described the reaction it had received as "mad". One of the mums , Rebecca Carless, 35, from Coventry, told the BBC : " We definitely wanted everyone to see it ".
The European Union and other trade partners dismiss that as an excuse and say the US merely wants to give its companies a boost. A probe was launched a year ago under Section 301 of the 1974 US Trade Act.
We should want to preserve the situation where Trump lacks normal executive control over US-Russia relations. Sources familiar with the final document do not remember a similarly large penalty, she said.
Federer said he enjoyed the battle against Del Potro, who won for just the seventh time in 25 clashes between the pair. Federer mishit a forehand high into the air beyond the baseline, giving del Potro another break point.
The idea is to save energy during that hour, while also encouraging people to be more wary about how much electricity they use. This year Earth Hour celebrates 11 years of saving energy and raising awareness on the impact of climate change.
Also in question was the human driver, who wasn't operating the vehicle because it was in automatic mode. Tempe Police Sergeant Ronald Elcock said: "The pedestrian was outside of the crosswalk".
Still, despite the ideal start, the Ramblers only briefly took a double-digit lead before Nevada sliced it back down below 10. Custer's acrobatic reverse layup made the Ramblers 10 of 10 in the half and gave them a 48-38 advantage with 13:03 to play.
She also spoke of having her photo taken with Trump , Melania and his daughter Ivanka at a party. "It was just digging inside me". For instance, Stormy Daniels' is a non-disclosure agreement which prevented her from talking about her relationship with Trump .
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has congratulated Vladimir Putin on his re-election as the President of Russian Federation . The commentary called on all parties involved to act with "prudence, self-control and patience".
It doesn't bother me, I like to know what is going on". "I might have a chat to him around what's gone on", Smith said. Smith continued: "The other person involved not getting asked about it is pretty interesting, I thought".
An estimated 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2018, according to the Alzheimer's Association . Almost half of all caregivers who provide help to older adults do so for someone with Alzheimer's or another dementia.
On Friday, Trump is expected to announce his plan to levee a $60 billion annual tariff on a wide range of Chinese products.
Trump praised the prince over US-Saudi relations, and especially over all the weapons Saudi Arabia is buying . The Senate rejected an attempt Tuesday to force the U.S.to cease "hostilities" in Yemen , allowing Mr.

If you want to be a UFC champion, you can forget about wasting your money on supplements and protein shakes. Light heavyweight king Lyoto Machida revealed that he and his father, Yoshizo Machida, have been drinking their own urine for years in order to flush out their system.
Machida will be defending his strap this Saturday at UFC 113 against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Although the highly anticipated rematch has been the talk of the MMA world, today's footage is now dominating the Internet.
Father Machida stated that his son has been sipping his own urine for a number of years and has been doing it everyday leading up to this weekend's scrap.
Just in case you didn't believe the Machidas love them some pee, Yoshizo showed MMAFighting's Ariel Helwani firsthand what goes down every morning at their household.
I wonder if it tastes better warm or on the rocks?
Do they dare "flush out their system" if they had asparagus the prior night?
Special thanks to our buddy Ariel Helwani, that was AWESOME!

Visiting wine experts were provided with four various themed excursions: "Pannonian Highlights", offering the destinations Burgenland and Carnuntum, "Blue Chips and Futures", revolving around themes relevant to the region Niederösterreich, "Austria's Hidden Gems", a voyage of discovery through the Steiermark and the Thermenregion, and finally "Rise Like a Phoenix", an introductory tour of the various Austrian wine-growing regions designed for newcomers. The Weingipfel offered our guests an opportunity to experience the distinguishing characteristics of each wine region up close and personally, and to encounter them via a comprehensive overview, since the numerous tastings and technical seminars were framed with visits to landmarks, historical attractions and museums – along with the chance to sample regionally typical cuisines and their specialties as part of the programme.
The culminating highlight of the trip was a set tasting in flights dedicated to Austria's marquee-player, the indigenous variety Grüner Veltliner, which took place in the dignified ambience of the Palais Niederösterreich. In arranging this exciting tastingevent, Austria's top sommeliers nominated series of the best Grüner Veltliners from various vintages and categories. And this top class dégustation – more than one hundred examples – richly and impressively documented the myriad facets as well as the great quality potential of the Grüner Veltliner.
This year the traditional concluding party was orchestrated around the historical theme "1815's Congress of Vienna – 200 Years On", held in the prestigious surroundings of the Palais Schönburg, where the Wine Marketing Board's team spiced things up no little with their appearance in the costumes of the time.

Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy; Dow plummets 504 pts.
NEW YORK - The upheaval in the American financial system sent shock waves through the stock market Monday, producing the worst day on Wall Street in seven years as investors digested the failure of one of its most venerable banks and wondered which domino would be next to fall.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost more than 500 points, more than 4 percent, its steepest point drop since the day the stock market reopened after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. About $700 billion evaporated from retirement plans, government pension funds and other investment portfolios.
The carnage capped a tumultuous 24 hours that redrew U.S. finance. Lehman Brothers, an investment bank that predates the Civil War and weathered the Great Depression, filed the largest bankruptcy in American history. A second storied bank, Merrill Lynch, fled into the arms of Bank of America.
It was by far the most stomach-churning single day since a financial crisis began to bubble up from billions of dollars in rotten mortgage loans that have crippled the balance sheets of one bank after another and landed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under the control of the federal government.
"We are in the middle of a deep, dark recession, and it won't end soon. Here it is, and it is pretty nasty," said Barry Ritholtz, who writes the popular financial blog The Big Picture and is CEO of research firm FusionIQ.
And the fallout was far from over. American International Group, the world's largest insurer, was fighting for its very survival: New York Gov. David Paterson moved to allow the company to tap one of its subsidiaries for an emergency loan to stay above water.
"AIG still remains financially sound," Paterson said, even as the company's stock tumbled almost 60 percent. Almost $20 billion was wiped off AIG's balance sheet on Monday.
In Washington, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who refused to toss a financial lifeline to Lehman, was unapologetic as the Bush administration signaled strongly that Wall Street shouldn't expect more rescues from Washington.
The American people should remain confident in the "soundness and resilience in the American financial system," Paulson told reporters at the White House.
Six months ago, Paulson moved to prevent the collapse of Bear Stearns, brokering a deal for JP Morgan Chase & Co. to buy the firm at a fire-sale price with Federal Reserve backing. Earlier this month, he stepped in to help the government seize Fannie and Freddie in hopes of reversing the housing and credit crises.
But Monday, Paulson said he "never once" considered it appropriate to put taxpayer money at risk to resolve the problems at Lehman Brothers, which was saddled with $60 billion worth of soured real estate holdings.
The result was one of the most momentous days in Wall Street history since legendary banker J. Pierpont Morgan helped broker the rescue of financial markets during the Panic of 1907.
The Dow industrials dropped 504.48 points to close at 10,917.51, the first time since July they have finished under 11,000. It was the sixth-largest point drop ever and the worst since Sept. 17, 2001, when the average fell 684.81 points on the first day of trading after the terror attacks.
In percentage terms, the fall for the Dow on Monday was its worst since the summer of 2002. The index has shed nearly a quarter of its value since its record high last October.
Broader stock indicators also fell. The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost more than 4 1/2 percent, and the Nasdaq composite index lost more than 3 1/2 percent.
Financial stocks fell as investors worried about the strength of banks' balance sheets. Washington Mutual Inc. 27 percent to $2 a share, while Wachovia Corp. fell 25 percent to $10.71.
While Lehman Brothers was filing for Chapter 11 and AIG was scurrying to find financing to stay afloat, Merrill Lynch was avoiding a similar fate with a $50 billion transaction to become part of Bank of America Corp.
The deal would create a financial giant rivaling Citigroup Inc., the biggest U.S. bank in terms of assets. Bank of America has the most deposits of any U.S. bank, while Merrill Lynch is the world's largest and most widely recognized brokerage.

Pretreatment effect of running exercise on HSP70 and DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.
College of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Department of Sport Physiology, University of Mazandaran, Babolsar, Iran.
The purpose of this study was to determine pretreatment effects of moderate-term endurance training before the various dosages (10 and 20 mg.kg(-1)) of DOX on a heat shock protein (HSP70 kda) and cardiotoxicity in heart tissue.
Forty-eight male rats were randomly assigned to nontraining (NT) and training (T) groups and three subgroups; DOX10 mg.kg(-1) and DOX20 mg.kg(-1) and saline treatment. The training program included treadmill running between 25-39 min/day and 15-17 m/min, 5 days/wk for 3 wk.
DOX administration, in particularly with 20 mg.kg(-1), caused up-regulation of oxidants and cardiac damage (MDA, CK, CPK-MB and CK/ CPK-MB) and down-regulation of cardioprotection (HSP70, SOD) markers, as compared to NT+saline group. Pretreatment effect of treadmill running endurance exercise in the presence of DOX with 10 mg.kg(-1) caused a significant increase in HSP70, SOD and a significant decrease in MDA and insignificant decrease in CK, CPK-MB and CK/CPK-MB, in comparisonT+DOX10 with NT+DOX10 group. However, there was no significant difference between T+DOX10 mg.kg(-1) and T+DOX20 mg.kg(-1) in the aforesaid markers.
Dox-induced cardiotoxicity is related to oxidative stress. Our study suggests that pretreatment with endurance exercise may be considered as a potentially useful strategy to improve myocardial tolerance against single dose DOX-induced oxidative damage.


"At Home in Hyderabad": Amboseli ... The Second Day - Christmas!
We had such a good time during the first two days of our African Safari in Amboseli and at the Serena Lodge, that Suzanne really didn't want to leave. She said that she was afraid that "we might be leaving the best place behind and we might not see any more animals!" Well...I kind of chuckled at that and told her that we needed to push on and see what adventures lay ahead....secretly hoping that I was not wrong. Man, was I ever NOT wrong!
It was Christmas Day... we woke up to crazed monkeys and baboons playing outside of our room, just off the patio. What fun it is to watch these guys play. All the baboons are not the giant, angry ones that we saw in The Omen - in fact - they are pretty cute, swinging from tree to tree, falling a lot, big ones chasing little ones...it's really a three-ring circus that we watched for hours!
We had two official "game-drives" that Christmas Day...one in the morning and on in the evening. You don't really have to go far from "camp" to see the animals that live in Amboseli...there are zebras and monkeys and giraffes just outside of the gate...and it doesn't take long to see the elephants. Our "game van" was an older Toyota - kind of like an "Inova" as they have here in India... but the top opened-up for easy-viewing. Amboseli if famous for it's great herds of elephants. The African elephants are distinguished from Asian ones that are common here in India and Thailand, etc. - most noticeable are the HUGE ears on the African ones (they use them to fan themselves and keep cool in the African sun, which can be intense!! They have lots of circulatory veins in those big ears, so - it works like an air-conditioning system for the whole body. The African variety is also a big larger overall, has a concave backbone, both male and female have ivory tusks and are much less hairy than their Asian cousins.
On our game-drives this day, we saw a wide variety of God's creatures...the big male lion we saw - (see photo above), hyenas, giraffes, a bald eagle, lots and lots of African elephants, the stately impala (I couldn't tell if they were '63 or '64 Impalas, actually, badda-boom!!) and many others.
The last few snapshots in this album are actually from after we crossed the border into Tanzania (quite an experience!) - more about that later!
Next up: Leaving Amboseli behind, crossing the border at Namanga, lunch in Arusha, and into Tarangire National Park!

Eastern Carolina University (ECU), a public school, is set to host the "I Am NOT a Costume" event, which criticizes the use of Halloween costumes based on other cultures.
"Many Halloween Costumes portray different cultures wrongly, and offensively. Our Cultures are NOT a Costume. Learn more about the stereotypes that many minority groups deal with, and why we see cultural outfits as Halloween costumes offensive," reads the event description on Facebook.
The four day-long event started on Monday with students heading to Wright Plaza between 11:00-2:00 to write down their feelings and opinions about the "I Am NOT a Costume" campaign.
Tonight at 6:30 p.m., students will view and and discuss a documentary that highlights the use of cultural outfits as Halloween costumes.
The event is sponsored by the Sigma Omicron Epsilon Sorority Inc. , Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc., Epsilon Chi Nu Fraternity Inc., and the Black Student Union.
ECU joins the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, who Campus Reform reported are also hosting the "I Am NOT a Costume" event.
These events coincide with the University of Colorado-Boulder decision to condemn the use of cowboy hats, sombreros, and sexually provocative costumes as offensive.

Cross country: Lyons heads to state with momentum
FallCross Country

Lyons' Sierra Tucker sprints to a third-place finish during the regional cross country championships at Lyons High School Thursday.
LYONS – CeAnn Udovich and Sierra Tucker of Lyons are both looking forward to the Class 2A cross country state championships on Oct. 31.
Udovich, who has battled injuries, hopes to match her second-place finish as a sophomore last season. Tucker, who finished fifth last season, is looking to finish her senior season on a high note.
But first, both Udovich and Tucker had to qualify for state. They did that during Thursday's 2A Region 1 championships on their home course at Lyons High School.
"CeAnne and I went out together for the first half and I just tried to see what I could do at the end," Tucker said. "We're looking to finish as high as we possibly can together and as a team. We're hoping that we can all step up and we're excited to see how it goes."
With a time of 20 minutes, 35 seconds, Tucker placed third behind Heritage Christian's Rebekah and Rachel Rairdon. Udovich placed seventh in 21:01.
With a team score of 26 points, the Lyons girls also took second place in the team scoring behind Heritage Christian's impressive seven-point total. Looking ahead to the state meet, which the Lions girls won last year, it was a satisfactory end to the regular season.
"We were just going for a good finish so we could feel good about our last race of the season before state," Tucker said.
In the boys race, Lyons' three-time defending 2A state champion Paul Roberts took first place with a time of 16:06. Lyons teammate Joel Such (18:16) took fifth to help the three-time defending state champions Lions win the Region 1 meet.
With the top 40 percent of both girls and boys teams qualifying for the 2A state meet, both Lions teams will be back to defend their titles next Saturday. The Shining Mountain boys team placed fourth and qualified.
Also at Lyons High School on Thursday, the Peak to Peak boys and girls both qualified for state out of the 3A Region 3 competition.

I read beforehand that the R9 390 was quite power-consuming, but I have never had issues with it so it ended up not mattering.
With the relase of AMD's Ryzen series, I switched my mobo to ASUS Prime B350-PLUS, got a Ryzen 5 1600x and upgraded to Windows 10 near the end of 2017.
Both setups worked perfectly and I never had any problems until now.
Yesterday something weird happened while playing World of Warcraft, where the game crashed and all 3 monitors started flickering. I tried rebooting, but it kept happening and starting a game (Apex Legends, WoW, BF1, DOOM) increased the amount and frequency of the flickering, as well as causing all monitors to turn off when the GPU was under heavy load. When it first occurred, I was using Radeon Adrenalin 19.1.1, and updating to the optional 19.2.3 did nothing. All temps are fine, tested with AMD Wattman, MSI Afterburner, Speccy, BIOS and HWMonitor.
MSI R9 390x Flickering Problem (fixed by Asus GPU Tweak) - YouTube This video shows exactly what the issue is, however the GPU Tweak fix did not work for me.
R9 290/390 Display Corruption when using Multiple 1440p Monitors (Windows 8.1/10, (15.7, 15.7.1, 15.8, 15.9, 15.10, 15.11) ) After searching I found this thread which has more videos showing the issue.
15.5, 15.6 and 15.7.1 were not installed properly and caused my GPU to be detected as R9 200, and I read in an AMD thread that it's due to incompatibility with older drivers. None of the software versions I tried made any difference, although I isolated the problem specifically to the AMD display adaptor and not the Radeon Settings install. Disabling the AMD display adaptor in device manager stops the corruption from occurring. The corruption follows my GPU if i connect it to another system with the AMD display adaptor installed (with different monitor), and ceases if the AMD display adaptor is disabled.
My monitors use different cables, one DVI-D, one HDMI-DVI-D adapter, and one DP. All 3 cables work without issues on another system. On my current system, the display issue occurs regardless of which monitor(s) is connected with which cable. I have no issues with black screens aside from when the GPU is under heavy load.
The AMD display adaptor is causing display corruption with my R9 390, and disabling it removes the corruption but is not a solution. Tried multiple monitors/system with the same result. No temperature issues.

Q: Blocking referrer spam by domain - is a 403 response efficient  I'm about to implement the following code to block some referrer spam a client has been receiving.
Is a 403 the most efficient way (I believe the header size is 0 bytes, or at least small) of redirecting the request, or are there other options I should consider?
RewriteEngine on
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} spammer-one\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} spammer-two\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} spammer-three\.com
RewriteRule .* - [F]

The source of concern is that their site is receiving a huge volume of traffic from a number of spam domains, server load could be a factor.

A: I my practice -- it is perfect (unless you want to fool them a bit more responding with 404 or some another code).
Header is not zero bytes long, but very small indeed (2 or 3 lines AFAIK). Zero bytes response (which means -- connection is dropped without sending any response headers) can only be sent by Apache on very low level (e.g. when validating requested URL and it finds that request is invalid, e.g. containing invalid characters etc) which is way before mod_rewrite kicks in.
Just a small note: if site is very busy (as you have said), then it is better to be placed in one of the Apache's config files instead of .htaccess, which is read on every request.

Q: Alexa Skills - how to return an intent with slot values from another intent? How to return an intent with slot values from another intent?
I want to trigger an intent by returning a slot value of it in another intent.
Here is example of my JSON file:
{
  "interactionModel": {
    "languageModel": {
      "invocationName": "movie antakshari",
      "intents": [
        {
          "name": "SchoolIntent",
          "slots": [
            {
              "name": "Subject",
              "type": "subjects"
            }
          ],
          "samples": ["{subjects}"]
        },
        {
          "name": "teachersIntent",
          "slots": [],
          "samples": ["teachers"]
        },
      ],
      "types": [
        {
          "name": "subjects",
          "values": [
            {
              "name": {"value": "maths"}
            },
            {
              "name": {"value": "english"}
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Here is my index.js file :
const teacherIntentHandler = {
    canHandle(handlerInput) {
        return handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.type === 'IntentRequest'
&& handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.intent.name === 'teacherIntent';
    },

    handle(handlerInput) {
        if (some condition) {
            // Here I want to return the schoolIntentHandler with a slot value maths
        }
    }
}

A: You can achieve this by ElicitIntent. But when you elicit your intent your slots for the particular intent will get clear(reset to null). To overcome this, before eliciting intent put your slot value into session attribute in a unique way to identify this as a slot one like SLOT_key. And when it enters into the desired intent get the slot value from session attribue & use it for your logic.

A: The intent invocation is driven by Users utterance. A User has to say something so that Alexa Service can match what user said to an intent in your model.
In your case, you need to make user to invoke schoolIntent by guiding him properly. i.e. You need to return a speech from here that will make user to utter something that matches schoolIntent
handle(handlerInput) {
    if (some condition) {
        // Here I want to return the schoolIntentHandler with a slot value maths
        //
        // You need to return a speech from here that will make user to utter something that matches schoolIntent.
    }
}


Yep, the decorations have appeared…the silly season is upon us. There's no denying it's THE hectic time of year.
We've got the inside scoop on how those in the events, retail and hospitality sectors are capitalising on all the crazy this Christmas. Don the tinsel and get the cash in the bank.
With an explosion of festive events, retail spending, corporate shindigs, and thousands of shopping centre Santa's, comes the need for TONS of Christmas staff.
Our savvy retailers know how to cash in on the Christmas spending craze. We're seeing a growing number of businesses replacing the bargain bin and heavy discounts, with trained Christmas staff. Promotional Models, Brand Ambassadors and Mascot Performers.
Rather than practically giving away your wares, attract and engage the crowds with the pro's that know how to command people's attention. Play some games, give out a few spot prizes, get into the spirit of it. It's quality over quantity that wins when you have a killer team on your side.
What would your profits look like if you didn't have to discount?
Venues & Events: Swap over-staffing with quality Christmas staff.
The holiday season is a blur for most in the hospitality game. In a flurry of excitement your venue is full to the brim and your core staff are run off their feet.
The "10 CASUAL JNR'S WANTED" signs go up on the door and you're sifting through billions of resumes for one who has actually carried a plate (or at least say they have).
For smaller venues it's a priority to keep staffing costs down, that's why many are following the lead of the big players, and enlisting an Agency to help with their temporary Christmas staff.
That doesn't make sense. Wouldn't Agency staff be much more expensive? On the face of it, yes. In reality…no way!
Can you put a price on your venue's reputation?
Sign agreements and set up payroll.
Panic when they don't turn up for their shift and start the process again.
Get back to managing their business in confidence.
You get the gist of the message. When the world is running around like loons throwing money at you, you need to have the best resources in place to ensure you collect as much as possible, with minimal stress, strain and fuss.
Be prepared for the onslaught. We are.

Sir Dirk Bogarde
The Servant is still one of the most engrossing movies of the 1960s.What did you find impressive about working with Losey?
It's what I said to you earlier:working with Joe is the way I have worked with all great directors.He would say'I dont know what you can do,' and I'd say 'All right I'll think of something,' and do it.The Servant was wonderful for a stage actor because of the long, long takes-you had a whole magazine of time to do your thing.Sometimes, working with other directors in England, you were very lucky if you could say 'We got 80 seconds of film for a day's work.With Joe you get 10 minutes , so it was possible to make a film in 5 weeks.The Servant took six weeks to make and Joe was ill for two of them.
There was a lot of very elaborate setting up for it, of course. That film was the only time the dolly-pusher was given a main credit.There is one scene with Wendy Craig and myself, when I let her in the front door and we go around the drawing room and then into the kitchen, where i fill up the jar with some flowers, then back into the drawing room; I think there were something like forty different camera angles and he never got them wrong.And the lighting was incredible-we took all day but it didn't matter.We would rehearse for about three hours in the morning and the lighting man would say 'I can't do it,' and joe would say 'Yes you can.' Then he would disappear amd we would'nt see each other again until five o' clock in the afternoon, and then we would shoot the whole thing in an hour.Douglas Slocombe [director of photography] , in tears on the last day of shooting, said this was the first time he had been able to put into practice all the things he had learned , and he was never so happy in his life. What's more he got the Oscar. There was no elaborate set; it was simply the house , an actual house in Chelsea, and Joe uses the house as the metaphor all the way through.
Did it seem to you that the film was a metaphor for what was happening in British society at the time?
No, it never occured to me, I just thought it was a great camp joke. I still think it's a very black comedy .It's very disturbing and complex as you say ,if you think about it, but it is still a marvellous film which doesn't date. It was brilliantly written by Harold Pinter and it was the first script he ever wrote for the movies. When I first read it I didn't know what the hell it was about.I had agreed to go in as co-producer with Joe on it when he first found the book ten years before.It was originally planned that i would play Tony, the nice young man,but then I found the boy, James Fox , here on television . I was too old by that time to play the young man, so I said to Joe we should get Ralph Richardson for the servant.Joe said we couldn't afford it, so that's how I came to play the servant.
The only criticism I would make of the film is that the orgy seems a bit tame by orgy standards today.
Well, when we did that it was the first time had understood what was happening with LSD parties.Joe and I knew they were taking place particularly around Chelsea, but the audiences and the critics didn't know. They expected an orgy to involve people screwing and they simply didn't understand at the time it was people going off into space under the influence of a hallucinatory drug - perhaps doing unspeakable things to the boy, but ... Since then , the critics have reconsidered it in light of their understanding of it.Thats what the young man was being given by his hairdresser in Jermyn Street.
The extraordinary thing was that once we had finished the film, nobody would touch it so it was put on the shelf for a year. It was actually on the shelf at Warner Brothers' studios in London.I have a very good friend called Arthur Abeles, an American who, at that time, was the European representative for booking films for Warners; he had a movie on at Warners in Leicester Square which was fading and he knew it couldn't hold up.He had a fortnight's gap to fill. He asked to look at the stuff Warners had stocked away and, by the grace of God, one of the things was The Servant . He saw the first two reels and said, 'We're sitting on a masterpiece, for Christ's sake!' He put it on for a fortnight and it ran for seven months, yet the studio had wanted to kill it. Equally so, they wanted to kill another film Joe and I made, King and Country. We never made a single film they wanted ! And of course, they loathed Accident I never understood how Joe, an American knew about English university life and mores so well.

Teaming Up in the Swiss Shop
This company capitalizes on employee empowerment and creativity to strengthen the work environment, improve production numbers and exceed customer expectations.
#workforcedevelopment
Swissturn/USA works hard to maintain a favorable work environment for its employees.
The company produces a range of Swiss parts including components for the medical industry and gun and laser parts.
Even inspection personnel are assigned to specific work teams and work closely within those groups for a seamless production process.
The 26 Star Swiss machines are grouped according to work teams, and 50" monitors hang above those groupings to display performance data.
The monitors show the status for all of the machines for which the team is responsible, displaying uptime percentages for the hour and day.

Medical Parts are Redefining Swiss-Type Machining
From training strategies to production planning, this Oxford, Massachusetts, Swiss shop has the right tools in place for long-term performance and growth. All employees are encouraged to continue learning and to develop ideas for improving what is already a successful company. They are rewarded with a superior work environment that is proven by long employee retention.
Company Roots
Swissturn/USA began business in 1987 as a successor to President Ken Mandile's father's business, which had been making conventional Swiss screw machine products for the previous 18 years. The senior Mandile was trained as a watchmaker at the Waltham Watch Factory. When the watch factory closed, John Mandile was able to transition his eye for precision to a new career in the Swiss screw machine industry.
Dry Swiss Machining in Medical
Quick-Change Tooling Improves Swiss-Type Profits
Micromachining Complex Parts on Swiss-Type CNC Lathe
Sixty-plus years later, the tradition of precision remains. About 40 percent of the business is medical device related. It also does gun components, laser parts, and a general mix of other parts. While higher volume work that can be run lights out is often the goal, the company also does a fair amount of complex work during the first and second shifts.
Relocating a couple of times, the company settled in its current Oxford location in July 2013. It took over an abandoned warehouse and completely renovated it to allow for continuing growth and to provide a comfortable environment to fit the culture that is promoted among the employees.
Working with essentially only a shell of a building when Swissturn first moved in, employees were able to play a significant role in both the design of the office space and the layout of the shop floor. Office Manager Valorie Ray, who has been with the company for almost 20 years, says that employees are encouraged to work together as a team. This cooperative effort was apparent in the design of the workspace and continues on a daily basis as employees are cross-trained to provide backup for each other.
With about 50 employees, the company is a good size for promoting effective communication among employees as well as with customers and vendors. Information flows well, allowing quick response to requests and issues. "Our employees are very dedicated, and we have great retention," Ken Mandile says. "It's hard to find good help, and once you have it, you need to do what you can to keep it. A good work environment is vital to that."
Swissturn has assembled an impressive lineup of 26 Swiss machines from Star CNC Machine Tool Corp. Twelve are SR-10J models with enhanced secondary machining capability featuring C-axis control on both the main and subspindles. These machines are designed to handle the tight accuracies of small parts, with high spindle speed (15,000 rpm) and rapid traverse with a three-spindle drilling unit for secondary machining. While Swissturn does use some of its other machines for lights out as well, depending on the job, these SR-10J machines tend to be used specifically for longer-run, "easier" jobs, running through the weekends when possible. "These are fast machines, doing small-diameter work—mostly brass—perfect for lights out," Mr. Mandile says.
Most of the company's other machines are 20-mm Star SR-20 models, which handle much of the complex work typical of the medical components the company produces. An SR-32J rounds out the turning center lineup, designed for power, rigidity and reduced cycle times. The company will soon be adding another of these machines to satisfy a particular demand on a new job from a customer.
"We typically add a couple of new machines each year," Mr. Mandile says. The shop floor is designed to hold 40 machines. He explains that the biggest reason the company moved to this location is that it previously did not have enough space to expand. While 40 machines may be several years out and will create a tight work area, this building allows for further expansion by building out as well.
Mr. Mandile believes in sticking with what has worked well for the company, thus the unwavering lineup of Star machines. He is pleased with the machines' performance and the support the company receives, but this strategy also allows programmers, operators and maintenance personnel to become well acquainted with what they're working on. Even across different models, many of the parts are interchangeable, so Swissturn keeps a fair number of motors and bearings and other parts in stock for maintenance. "If something goes down, our two full-time maintenance people can often resolve the issue right away," Mr. Mandile says. The maintenance personnel do a lot of preventive maintenance as well.
One of the things that Mr. Mandile feels sets his company apart is the creation of self-directed work teams across the shop floor. Three work teams consist of between six to eight people each, stretching across both of the company's manned shifts. The teams are given full responsibility for their work orders, scheduling them and making sure they have the necessary materials to complete the job. The teams are assembled to bring each person who works on a particular job closer to the process, so each team has its own coordinator, setup personnel, operators, inspector and trainee.
The previous hierarchal system saw a single person overseeing the process as other individuals had their own responsibilities and would essentially wash their hands of the job once their part was complete. As a team, everyone works together to make the process more efficient as they are all equally responsible for getting the job out the door. They schedule their own jobs, and if adjustments need to be made, they make them, typically without any involvement from management. Mr. Mandile says the teams know their machines and the current jobs the best, so they are best suited for making the critical decisions to facilitate a smooth production process.
"We do have supervisors who oversee and help the teams as needed, but we're trying to move the teams to being as independent as possible so we don't have to manage them," Mr. Mandile says. He wants them to work as if they are their own separate job shops within the company. This structure provides a sense of authority and responsibility, making their jobs more rewarding. Team members see that their work has a direct impact on better results.
Another advantage of the team concept is that they get to know the jobs better. When a repeat job comes back, it goes to the same team who is already familiar with it. The team knows exactly what it took to get the job going, any issues or modifications that happened the last time.
Each team consists of a different mix of work and machines and skill level, so they don't compete against each other. It's not a level comparison. However, the teams are encouraged to improve on their own performance, and hitting improvement goals is a consideration for future competition among teams. Team 2 is in charge of all of the newer 10-mm machines, typically handling the long-run brass jobs with a lot of lights-out production. This team targets about 85-percent uptime, while the other teams may only be expected to reach 50 percent. As with any shop, machine uptime is one of the most important factors in profitable business, so it's important for the teams to be aware of this performance.
Shopfloor Monitoring
To help the work teams keep better track of their performance, Swissturn has developed its own machine monitoring system. The system has been in place for about 5 years, being continuously improved, but in the last year and a half it's showing its greatest impact.
A series of 50-inch monitors is now suspended over the shop floor—two for each work team. These monitors show the status of all of the machines for which the team is responsible, displaying whether the machines are running, are powered off or have an alarm. They also show percentages of uptime in the previous hour and previous 24 hours for each individual machine as well as for all of the team's machines combined.
Dan Wells, the company's full-time computer programmer, developed the system. He also has created a messaging system for the shop floor that runs on separate big-screen monitors. This messaging system allows quick and convenient sharing of information throughout the company, from customer service to production to shipping and receiving.
All of the information from both the machine monitoring and the messaging system is linked through the server to all of the company's PCs as well, so office personnel have easy access to the information. Each machine is hard-wired to the data collector, which feeds the data to the PC where it is processed and sent to the big screens.
Swissturn is also beginning to incorporate the use of tablets on the shop floor to allow faster scheduling, and this data is linked to a Global Shop Solutions ERP system. The goal is to eventually tie all the systems together for data collection and analysis.
Feeding the Success
Business is very strong for Swissturn right now. Mr. Mandile says the backlog is the biggest it's been since 2007 and the company has been working for several years to develop a strong foundation for its management structure and information systems so it is prepared to handle such growth.
By serving a variety of markets, the company is not heavily affected by down cycles in one area because other areas then tend to get stronger and bring increased business. Growth has been strong because of the stability of current customers and the strong commitment of company employees to support those customers. Much of that positive attitude comes from the way the company involves the employees in the decision making process.
Operations Manager Dean Russell says the success of these strategies is dependent on effective training. "The trick is to find good people and train them well," he explains. "When we bring someone in, we don't only train them for their jobs, but we also try to train them for their lives. We teach them to think and to problem solve." Rather than managing people, the company employs more of a leadership strategy, giving the employees the freedom to discover the best ways to get the job done.
Endworking Enhances Shaft Manufacturing Process
Because endworking is often considered only as a preliminary step for shaft work typical of the automotive industry, potential productivity gains are being passed by. Newer technology has enabled these machines to handle far more applications.
Hard Turning as an Alternative to Grinding
Hard turning can be a cost effective alternative for shops looking to streamline part processing.
Trends in Swiss Machining
This Florida medical manufacturer is an expert in the production of complex medical parts on CNC Swiss machines. Their job shop has evolved from 18 to 135 employees by efficient production of small, difficult parts for the demanding medical industry. And moving forward, the shop's co-founder only sees better things ahead.

these statistics are much more true and accurate than the official governments' statistics!


As locally sourced food spearheads growing trends in US food systems, Vermont company Bob-White Systems leads the way in providing micro dairy supplies and equipment for farm fresh milk and farmstead cheese. Bob-White Systems has been supplying small scale cow and goat dairy farms with micro dairy processing equipment, cheese making equipment, dairy and milking supplies, livestock and barn supplies, and used dairy equipment since 2006. This month, the New England micro dairy industry leader launches a direct sales e-commerce site at www.bobwhitesystems.com.
A varied selection of micro dairy supplies and equipment are available for direct purchase with more to come throughout the summer months. If certain products are not available for online purchase immediately, customers can order by phone direct from the staff. Micro dairy farming provides sustainable, economies-of-scale, local, environmentally friendly, and humane animal care options for milk and cheese production to match demand. It also requires farmers to have access to very specialized equipment – not sized down commercial dairy equipment. Bob-White Systems staff are available to custom order supplies for farmers based on individualized needs. Micro dairy farm consulting is also a unique service offered by Bob-White Systems – committed to Bringing the Cows Back Home.
In addition to supplying and servicing micro dairy industry equipment and supplies, Bob-White Systems is in the final product development stages of the Bob-White Systems Low Impact Pasteurization (LIP) System which will bring gentle milk pasteurization direct to micro dairy farms enabling farmers to offer customers the choice between raw milk OR on-the-farm pasteurized milk. This revolutionary technology will offer micro dairy farmers the opportunity to increase market share and generate additional income. Approvals are on a state-to-state basis and those interested in learning more about the MOOvement are encouraged to join American Micro Dairies (www.americanmicrodairies.com).
And who IS Bob-White? The North American Bobwhite Quail fled his native hedge and fencerow pastures as large scale agriculture forced him to move to the woods (where he gets eaten by his non-natural predators) or gets sick from the imported non-native grasses. The micro dairy farming movement will not only bring the cows back home, but will bring the Bobwhite Quail back home as well.

In Review: Star Wars #53
This will please every Star Wars fan.
The covers: Three very different covers for this installment in the Star Wars saga. The Regular cover is by David Marquez & Marte Gracia and features Han Solo in some surprising togs: an X-wing pilot's outfit! He's mirroring the classic pose that Luke Skywalker made when entering his ship. I like the smile from Han and, being an immense fan of X-wing pilots, I love this. Logray (Ewok Shaman) is the Action Figure Variant cover by John Tyler Christopher. Ewoks have never bothered me; I liked the little guys when I saw Return of the Jedi when it first came out. That said, of all the characters in the world to get one of these variant covers, does it have to be another Ewok? This fake Kenner carded figure looks great, as all of Christopher's variants have been, but an Ewok? I like this, but…You know. I'm hoping this is the last Ewok variant. Rod Reis creates the Galactic Icons Variant cover featuring Maz Kanata, Pirate Queen. I'm not a fan of Maz, especially after her pointless appearance in The Last Jedi, but I admit to really liking this image. She looks wise and though she'll do whatever she can to help someone. It's impossible not to like this cover. Overall grades: Regular A, Action Figure Variant A, and Galactic Icons Variant A+
The story: The fourth chapter of "Hope Dies" by Kieron Gillen opens in spectacular fashion with Leia watching Hudsol's ship explode, the latest to fall victim to Queen Trios's treachery in assisting the Empire in revealing the Rebellion's position. Draven tells Leia that they have their best slicer working on Trios's files and some good news is that X-wings have launched from the flagship. The story moves to Luke who's out there with Artoo as the fighter next to him is blown out of the sky. The Millennium Falcon is also in the thick of battle, with Han broadcasting to all of Rogue Squadron that they should "nuzzle up against the destroyers. Take it from a smuggler — This always works." Luke tells the squad to do what Han suggested. This issue has some very smart decisions from several characters. This demonstrates that the Rebellion isn't dead and that they're going to find a way to avoid utter destruction. After Han's clever instruction, Luke has an idea of his own that boosts their chances. Leia takes the biggest chance of all in this issue, with her having to do something that Finn and Rose were unable to accomplish. Complicating their situations is Darth Vader flying about searching for the Falcon and he finds it. Pages 16 – 19 are great and would create cheers if it were part of a film. The last page would elicit gasps for the meeting that's going to occur next issue. There's lots of action — smart action — in this issue and that's reason enough to pick this up. Overall grade: A
The art: Salvador Larroca's art is good, but there are several panels one can tell were pulled from movie stills to get characters' likenesses correct. The first panel of the book is of Leia watching a Rebel ship explode; she looks great. The explosion is shown in the second panel and it's monstrous. It's the perfect visual to show the Rebellion losing hope. Draven and the slicer are shown on the second page in the long horizontal panels that Larroca employs and they look great. That final panel on the page is modeled after Leia's reveal in The Empire Strikes Back; I've seen that movie enough times to recognize it. The action that follows on Page 3 is frantic as Luke tries to fight Imperial forces as he, and Rogue Squadron, are being shot at. The action intensifies on the next page with the Falcon shown to be in really bad shape as Han and Chewbacca try to stay alive. I really like the streaks in the fourth and fifth panels on this page showing the high speed of the fighters and the blasts they're charging into. The space scenes in this issue are really impressive, and I was glad to see that Artoo got some face time in this book as he's assisting Luke. Admiral Ackbar gets some time as well and he looks terrific; the moment when he makes a realization is perfect. The landing that occurs on Page 14 is something that's never been in any film and it's epic. The two panels that follow it on 15 are terrific, though I wish they hadn't been in silhouette; I feel cheated in not seeing the character's face. The action sequence on 18 is cinematic in how it's accomplished and had me cheering. The progression of images on 19 had me getting nervous and then had me as anxious as Leia with what's shown. The last page is a joy to see and will have Star Wars fans squirming until the next issue comes out. Overall grade: A
The colors: I was glad to see that Guru-eFX don't make this a dark book, as there are several opportunities to do so. I want to clearly see what's happening to the heroes I love and their colors happily give this to me. The cool colors of the bridge that Leia is on casts her in pale violets. The explosion she's witnessing is brilliant in orange and yellow. Cast against the reds from this sector of space they're in makes this explosion, and all that follow, incredibly strong. Luke and Wedge's cockpits have the characters in the traditional oranges of X-wing pilots and they made my heart soar every time I see them. The energy bolts hurling at the fighters are in the Imperial greens one would expect, but, again, against the red of space they really pop out to the reader. I won't say what the color is, but the one used on the final page, and its many shades, is exceptional. Overall grade: A
The letters: VC's Clayton Cowles creates this issue's text which includes scene settings, dialogue, Wookiee speech, a whisper, an Artoo wail, and a transmission. The scene settings and dialogue continue to disappoint, as do the lack of sound effects. For all the explosions, blasts, and violent landings the book is sadly mute. The Wookie speech and Artoo bleep are good, though. Marvel, please put some of the Academy Award winning sounds into this franchise! Overall grade: C+
The final line: This is an action packed issue with the Rebels making very smart moves. The story is thrilling and the visuals outstanding. If only the lettering were as strong. Still, I can't dismiss the rest of the book if the lettering is bad. This will please every Star Wars fan. Overall grade: A-

In Review: Iron Fist Season 2
by Ian Cullen - Sep 10, 2018
In Review: Volition #1


Cycle along the coast and into the Western Zeeland-Flanders hinterland, in this route (39 km).
The coastal cycle path of Western Zeeland-Flanders is the heart of this route (39 km), providing panoramic views of the Westerschelde and North Sea alike.
The Dutch-Belgian dune area is dissected by a wide canal, the Zwin, formerly a key maritime trade route to Bruges. Nature has reclaimed it, in a flurry of salt marshes, mud flats and sandy shores. At low tide, you can even walk to Knokke.
More nature-traversing can be done across the Verdronken Zwarte Polder and the newly minted nature reserve Waterdunen. If you need a breather, just steer your bike to villages like Breskens, Cadzand or Retranchement.

As I noted in a post last month, Billy Ray and Tish filed for divorce in Tennessee (where Billy Ray is originally from) citing "irreconcilable differences." Questions remain regarding how, exactly, the couple can get divorced in Tennessee granted that they rather obviously live in California. Also remaining to be seen is how this residency question may effect the eventual division of the couple's California assets.
Regardless of whether this case moves forward in Tennessee or becomes a Southern California divorce, however, one potential California child custody question has now resolved itself: in the weeks since the divorce petitions were filed Miley, the family's main breadwinner, turned 18 (custody of two younger children remains to be determined).
The Cyrus divorce case is a good reminder for the rest of us of the importance of careful planning when embarking on a Los Angeles or Orange County divorce. Residency questions can become difficult, particularly for high-net-worth couples who may own homes in multiple jurisdictions. Changing your legal residence for divorce purposes may not be as easy as some people believe (these things vary widely from state to state) and even a successful effort to move a case out of Orange County or some other Southern California venue does not necessarily mean that California's community property laws will not become a factor in settlement negotiations as they move forward.
All of these are matters in which the advice of a skilled Orange County divorce attorney can be crucial – possibly meaning the difference between a settlement that protects all of your rights and a more lopsided agreement.

After I finished vacuuming out the entire inner cowl area, I used MarineClean and thoroughly coated the inside of the cowl. I set storage tubs at either drain point to catch the runoff. Once the MarineClean had set a while, I used a scrub brush to scrub all of the areas I could reach and then rinsed the entire cowl off with hot water. I repeated this process a second time to make sure it was completely clean. This was a great opportunity to take notice of the path the water takes when exiting the inner cowl area and allowed me to double check that the path was sufficiently treated with POR-15.

A long time ago in what seems like a clean garage far, far away I removed the steering linkage from the engine bay. I took the whole assembly down to Troy so that he could separate it for me. I want to paint it with POR-15 and I knew it would be easier to paint if it was separated.
I got the parts back from Troy about a month ago and I am just now cleaning them up so they can be prepped for paint.
Dad came over just as I was finishing up the MarineClean on the cowl. I had to leave for a job interview and Dad stayed to work on cleaning up the steering linkage parts. Thanks Dad!
Here are some of the parts after the first stage of cleaning.
