It's frustrating to have a noisy garage door especially when your bedroom is sitting right above it. Some homeowners often overlook this but if you've grown tired of settling with your squeaky garage door, today is a good time to make an inspection. Here are a few tips to help quiet your door.
Mechanical components that are nearly detached could lead to accidents and mishaps. With the door closed, inspect the sides for hinges, nuts, and bolts that need snug tightening. Remember not to over-tighten them as you might have more problems when your screws come out of their track holes.
Once done tightening, close and open the garage door and try to observe if your rollers wobble. If they do, this might mean that you need to replace them. It's best to use Nylon rollers as they do not require oiling, plus they keep noise at a minimum compared to steel rollers. Never replace bottom rollers of doors equipped with torsion springs as the sudden release of tension can cause accidents. Leave this job to a professional.
Over time, your door's chain become loose, and this affects your door's ability to open and close. Remove slack and tighten them up to reduce jerking movement and loud slapping sounds.
Spray hinges, roller bearings, and other metal parts that connect to another metal components with a garage lubricant found in most home stores. Do this routinely every 4-6 months for a quieter operation of your garage door.
If your motor is hanging from your ceiling with metal brackets, switch them with rubber or anti-vibration pads. You can recycle rubber from old tires or random cut outs. To do this, you will need longer screws and wider fender washers to hold the pads. Once done tightening them back into your ceiling, operate your garage door once again to make sure they have attached fine.
All these tricks should help reduce the noise and prove that maintenance can make drastic improvements to your home. And if you are uncomfortable doing the replacements by yourself, call a professional over so you can get an overall quality inspection.
Our inception in the late nineties has made the Botella Republic as one of the busiest and highly acclaimed garage door manufacturer and designs company in the country.

What are common symptoms/problems caused from wisdom teeth?
Pain in the jaw, swelling overlying the wisdom tooth, infection in the jaw, and crowding of the erupted teeth.
How are wisdom teeth best treated?
A clinical examination and Panorex X-ray will help determine if there is room for eruption and normal occlusion of these teeth. If they are impacted in the jaw and not erupted, they should be surgically removed.
Why have this surgery done by an oral surgeon?
This surgery is best done by an oral surgeon because we have four to seven years of additional surgical training beyond dental school to better provide this surgical service. This surgery can usually be performed under light general anesthesia providing the most comfortable and safest experience for the patient.
Why not use a discounted provider that advertises they do wisdom teeth surgery?
Most of these advertised discount providers are general dentists that provide this service. They lack the post-graduate extensive surgical training to better provide this service. This additional training many times prevents the potential complications from this surgery, including post-operative swelling, infection, pain, and nerve damage to the tongue, lower lip and chin. Should any of these problems develop, more expenses including further surgery and hospitalization may become necessary. It is best to try to avoid these potential problems.

Often I hear the topic come up about professional vs amateur photographers and what the difference is. This starts an interesting discussion. The question usually comes up when talking about quality of photos by someone. But there are some challenges with the words and definitions.
The biggest challenge with the word professional is that many people equate that with being good or skilled. Even if you have letters behind your name, or some sort of certification that you can hang on the wall we would not be able to verify that you are good. Certifications or degrees simply prove that you have accomplished some set of predefined goals. There are a lot of bad doctors in the world. You know what you call the person that finished last in their class in medical school right? You call them doctor. But if they finished last they might not be the person you want taking care of you.
Professional is simply a designation of getting financial compensation for what you are doing, whether you are good or bad at it. There are people that write computer software as a hobby and release it as open source software, and even in their day job don't work as a computer programmer. They do it for the love of it. And some of that open source software is as good as (and at times better) than the commercial software written by professionals.
Some people approach photography in the same way. They create photos as a work of art because they love it and have no desire to get compensated for it. It is their gift to humanity. Sometimes they refuse the money because money would taint the artistic endeavor. They would have to be bound by the commercial viability of the end results and not be driven by their vision. So they are amateurs. This does not mean they are less talented. They may be some of the best there is at photography. They just have different motivations, or at least some different motivations.
This is not to say that the professional photographer does not strive for good art, or for quality. It is just that along with anything they want to do, they are also constrained by the desires of the customer. And some customers are more demanding than others. It is also true that there are some truly horrific professional photographers. People will purchase their work, but it does not make that work better.
When we realize that titles, or degrees, or certifications are not a solid indication of quality of work, we will realize that we need to judge the work of the individual and not the title etc. I have chosen the photographers I try to model my work after based on if I felt the work they produce is something that I would like to equal. There are many that when I look at their portfolios I find I have no desire to shoot like them. Sometimes it is because they really are not that good. Sometimes it is because they simply have a different vision and idea of what makes a beautiful photo.
Recently I was at a seminar for our local camera club (which is the oldest in the US and currently numbers over 125 members) on judging photos. The seminar was awesome. It was also enlightening as we went through photos that there were some that the room was quite divided on if the photo was good or not. Some people liked a certain feature when others did not. Some like Rembrandt lighting, some do not. Some like avant garde, some do not. Some like surrealistic, some do not. I think you get the point. So I find those that have the same eye that I do and try to emulate their work. It does not matter if they are a pro or an amateur.
So I would not say that I am a pro, or that I have come even close to arriving where I want to be with my photography. As a matter of fact I still struggle with self doubts about my craft. But I do know that the people around me love the work they see that I do. I suppose that I am hoping ultimately that instead of getting a moniker of professional that ultimately I would be considered an artisan and that my photography has somehow enhanced or added beauty to others lives. And I hope that you also can share great moments and great stories with your photography.
Interesting topic. Couple of years ago I was asked about this by a professional photographer. I told him about the quality thing and he laughed. Then he explained - if anyone earns from something and live on that he is a professional of that trade.

The prospect of death has a way of clarifying our values and priorities. The Guardian reports on the book The Top Five Regrets of Dying, written by Australian nurse Bronnie Ware who gathered reflections from patients in their last twelve years of life.
Ware writes of the phenomenal clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom. "When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently," she says, "common themes surfaced again and again."
The number one regret: "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."

Dark Matter's Leading Ladies Say Fans Can Expect to be Excited by Season Two
Post by: Michael Simpson
DARK MATTER – "Welcome To Your New Home" Episode 201 — Pictured: (l-r) Anthony Lemke as Three, Melanie Liburd as Nyx, Melissa O'Neil as Two, Alex Mallari Jr. as Four – (Photo by: Jan Thijs/Prodigy Pictures/Syfy)
Dark Matter started its second season in the UK earlier this week with a busy premiere episode. That picked up the story not long after the events in the Season One cliffhanger with most of the crew of the spaceship Raza now incarcerated in a Galactic Authority prison. In the 45 minutes that followed, the packed script introduced new characters, featured acts of betrayal and conspiracy, and ended with what appeared to be a shocking murder.
Melissa O'Neil
Having seen so much crammed into one episode, the show's fans are now expecting plenty more action and surprises in the weeks to come. They won't be disappointed, says Dark Matter's Canadian star Melissa O'Neil.
"I'm really excited for them to see these new characters that we have and the developments with a few specific characters," O'Neil tells Geektown. "If I were a superfan, I would be really excited to see the journey that the Android goes on this season. I think I'm most excited to see how people receive the storylines for the Android and Four and also Nyx."
Melanie Liburd
Nyx is one of three major new characters added to Dark Matter's ensemble cast for Season Two. She is played by British actress Melanie Liburd (albeit with an American accent) and was introduced in the season premiere as a tough inmate of the mixed-gender GA prison. Already she has tried to intimidate the hotheaded Three (Anthony Lemke) and proven a worthy opponent in hand-to-hand combat with O'Neil's character, Two, despite the latter's enhanced fighting abilities. It was exciting to film the fights in the season opener, Liburd says, and she hints that more impressive martial arts scenes are on the way.
"I'm really excited for the fans to see all the fight sequences," Liburd told us. "I've been blown away just watching everyone in action, like seeing Melissa do her stuff and the big, big fight scenes."
Another of the new characters is Arax Nero, played by Mike Dopud. Dopud's face should be familiar to anyone who has watched the Stargate franchise, which Dark Matter creator Joseph Mallozzi also worked on. Nero leads one of the factions that the prison inmates have divided themselves into. In the opening episode of Season Two, he tries to convince Four (Alex Mallari Jr.) not to attempt to escape because that could impact his privileged position. The gang leader comes across as cool and dangerous. Yet, Dopud is nothing like that in real life, O'Neil says.
"He's so great," the actress reveals. "I just loved working with him and it was really nice because of the interaction between Two and Arax. I loved the dynamic that Two and Arax had. It was really fun because actually before we even had a chance to properly talk to Mike as a human being we were shooting these scenes and we're being very sassy with each other."
DARK MATTER – "Welcome To Your New Home" Episode 201 – Pictured: Alex Mallari Jr. as Four — (Photo by: Jan Thijs/Prodigy Pictures/Syfy)
Unlike Dopud, O'Neil has no sci-fi pedigree other than Dark Matter. The young actress is a past winner of the talent show Canadian Idol and after that she went on to musical theatre. Hence, her casting in Dark Matter was a surprise. Nonetheless, she has risen to the task and has enjoyed the introduction the show has given her to the world of science fiction fandom.
"I think what I love the most about people that are fans of sci-fi is that they are really hooked on the details and the storytelling aspect of everything," O'Neil says. "I love jamming about scenes and the content of what we're talking about and the themes in the show. People are genuinely interested in the world that we've created and it's really fun to talk to them about it."
There will be another episode of Dark Matter to talk about when it is broadcast in the UK by Syfy on Monday, July 11 at 8:00pm.
Mike Simpson is a British expat contributor based near Vancouver, Canada. He has a background as a professional scientist and is now an entertainment and technology journalist gleefully writing about sci-fi and other geek stuff.

Tremonti, the group fronted by Creed and Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti, has announced that their third album, Dust, will be released April 29. You can watch the teaser video, which features a bit of the song "Catching Fire," above.
The record was cut during the sessions for its predecessor, 2015's Cauterize, with Wolfgang Van Halen playing bass. Van Halen first toured with the group in 2012. The two bands have known each other since the late '90s, when Creed opened up for Van Halen at Madison Square Garden.
Tremonti is quick to point out that the material on Dust shouldn't be thought of as outtakes from Cauterize.
You can pre-order Dust at Fret12's website. There are various packages that include autographed CDs, handwritten lyric sheets, T-shirts, hoodies and your very own credit in the liner notes.

Sony Interactive Head Shawn Layden Is Departing PlayStation

Sony has announced its head of PlayStation, Shawn Layden, will be leaving Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) after years of service.
It is with great emotion that we announce that Worldwide Studios Chairman Shawn Layden will be departing SIE. His visionary leadership will be greatly missed. We wish him success in future endeavors and are deeply grateful for his years of service. Thanks for everything, Shawn!
— PlayStation (@PlayStation) September 30, 2019
Layden was first put into the position in March 2018 after his role was shifted to focus on Worldwide Studios, Sony's first-party SIE studio. He'd previously been CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America since 2014 after taking over that role from Jack Tretton, who had stepped down after being president of Sony's American division since 2006.
Sony America CEO Jack Tretton Steps Down
The head of PlayStation in the U.S., Jack Tretton, has stepped down, the company announced today. His last day will be on March 31.
Layden has been with Sony since 1996 in various roles and is best-known for his appearances at E3 conferences between 2014 and 2018.
During his time, his studios released numerous critically-acclaimed games including God of War, Spider-Man and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Kotaku Australia has reached out to Sony to confirm his final day at the studio but it declined to comment.
Sony Is Skipping E3 2019
Sony is skipping next year's E3, ditching its traditional booth and press conference in a move that will have a significant negative impact on the video game industry's annual trade show.

...two foreign tourists are seen posing for photos on the roof of an ancient temple and refusing to come down even after being warned by a local.
An eyewitness who recorded the moment told the media that she attempted to stop the foreigners from sitting on the historic wall, but they ignored her and stayed there for a few minutes. She also claimed that they caused some tiles to fall to the ground while scaling the structure.
NBA player Bobby Brown is under fire in China after he posted a photo of his initials and uniform number name graffitied on the stones of the country's ancient Great Wall.
His post soon provoked outrage on China's social media, as many Internet users criticised Brown for defacing China's most famous cultural heritage.
"Are you proud of your carving? This is a part of world heritage, not the toilet of your home," one Weibo user commented before Brown's post was removed.

Let the light in: how Memphis grew a national poetry champion
Anita Norman stood on stage all by herself in the final round of the national Poetry Out Loud championship in Washington D.C. but she was not alone. Norman had parsed over her poem, "Let the Light In," so many times with her teacher and her family that they all knew the words by heart: she just needed to release herself into the words of the poet Ellen Watkins Harper, who would carry her the rest of the way. Norman was one of only six contestants who made it to the final round out of more than 365,000, but she had been working up to this moment for three years.


I have completed both Undergraduate (Economics) and Masters (Marketing) degrees at a good University in the UK. I am fluent in English and I am qualified to teach English as a foreign language. However, I specialise in essay writing - which I have won awards for - and I am happy to look over and correct or fine tune students' essays. As well as this, I have also studied mathematics to a high level.
I have always enjoyed teaching, and I believe that the best way for students to learn is by making the subject interesting and relevant, so that the students properly engage with it. My focus as a tutor will be on helping the student through each stage of the learning process so that they properly understand it, rather than simply telling them what to do.

New Delhi: The founder and chairman of Jet Airways, Naresh Goyal, and his wife Anita Goyal have stepped down from the board of the cash-strapped airline on Monday.
A report said the stakes of Goyals' have been reduced to 25.5% from 51% earlier.
The lenders hold more than 50% stake in Jet Airways. Lenders will provide immediate support of Rs 1,500 crore to clear dues to lessors and unpaid salaries.
According to media reports, SBI, the lead lender in the consortium of banks that have lent to Jet Airways, has proposed the name of Janki Ballabh, former chairman of State Bank of India, to lead the airline.
It is worthwhile to mention that the lenders are set to take over the airline and run it for a few months before selling it.
Banks are likely to get more than a 50% stake in the airline along with an investor, according to reports.
Jet Airways has been facing one of the worst financial crisis in its history. It has defaulted on debt payments to a consortium of Indian banks, prompting rating agencies to downgrade.
The airline has not paid its dues to lessors and salaries to pilots. The pilots have already threatened that they will stop flying from April 1.

Sir Benjamin Baker, creator of the Forth Railway Bridge, has joined a very select group of engineers to be honoured by the Blue Plaque scheme.
The scheme, now administered by English Heritage, is about to celebrate its 150th anniversary. The plaque was placed on Baker's London residence where he lived between 1881 and 1894 at 3 Kensington Gate on 21 April.
One can argue it was long overdue recognition for one of Britain's great engineers. Best known for designing the Forth Railway Bridge, at the time when he was living there, he played a significant role in the development of the London Underground, and designed the Aswan Dam and its first heightening, as well as masterminding the transport of Cleopatra's Needle from Egypt to the Embankment.
Mayor of Frome, Kate Bielby, who spoke of that town's rediscovered pride in one of its most distinguished "children", unveiled the plaque. Also in attendance was Pippi Goldfinger, who helped curate an exhibition about Baker in Frome in 2009, which involved 2,500 local schoolchildren through associated events. Through the local museum, schoolchildren still learn about engineering through Baker's achievements.
This seems a fitting legacy for Baker who was one of civil engineering's great communicators. As well as writing extensively in the engineering press about his ideas for bridge design, strength of materials, tunnelling and underground railways, he gave a number of lectures, illustrated with lantern slides on his great achievements, notably the Forth Railway Bridge. To reach wider audiences, he thought of the human model of a cantilever to illustrate the underlying principles of the Forth Bridge's design. This marked a step change in public engagement.
Public engagement for Georgian and Victorian infrastructure generally meant private conversations with a select few influential landowners, and a public meeting to raise share capital. As seen in the recent Thames Tideway exhibition in the ICE's Library, it involves engaging with the public as a whole, understanding its concerns and explaining how it will affect it beneficially.
It would have been a need that Baker, who had to contend with Egyptologists concerns about Aswan, and art critics concerns about the Forth Bridge, would readily comprehend. While Baker's structures, like Wren's, are his greatest monuments, it is good to see that the public's attention will be drawn to his name by this plaque.
Coincidentally, it is a year since a plaque was placed at 74 Shooters Hill Road, the Blackheath home of the Lindley family of drainage engineers, but there are no more in the pipeline. At the ceremony Howard Spencer, historian of the blue plaque scheme put in a plea for more engineers to be suggested by the public as they are currently seriously under-represented. Perhaps a concerted campaign could be mounted to coincide with ICE's 200th anniversary in 2018.

The weekend before Thanksgiving, we headed down to Branson with some of our friends and neighbors. It was cold and damp, but the kids still had a great time!
Then it was time to start decorating for the holidays! Since it was our first Christmas in the new house, Graham and Maddie got their own little tree for their room.
Mom got a surprise from the neighbors and celebrated her 40th the night before Thanksgiving.
We spent Thanksgiving with Jeanne, Max, Bob AND TOI!!! She stuck around to have Turkey before heading off to Thailand.
Graham is turning into a true man. Asleep on the couch on football Sunday.
On Wednesday, Dec 13th Mom and I went to the Nutcracker and I loved it!
We hosted our annual Christmas party. Dad had to have won the best dressed award. Who else could rock out a Christmas suit. And Brad's belly button fanny pack was a hit as well.
Christmas was wonderful and now we're ready to kick off our next adventure. Our trip to Thailand!

Nunthorpe and Marton
Family still waiting for answers a decade on from death of Darren Manders
The body of murdered Middlesbrough man Darren Manders was found exactly 10 years ago today. And a decade on his family are still waiting for answers.
Family of Darren Manders, mum Lesley, dad Terry and brother Anthony
Last month, on the anniversary he went missing, his parents opened their hearts as they appealed for information.
Dad-of-three Darren was found beaten to death in woodland near Nunthorpe on July 2, 2003 - almost a month after he went missing.
Mr Manders was last seen near his home in Bow Street, Middlesbrough, on June 5, 2003.
His body was discovered on July 2 at a secluded spot, known locally as Starvation Clump, by a dog walker.
A decade on since the murder of Darren Manders
At the time of Darren's death two men, aged 26 and 33, were arrested in connection with the murder but were released without charge.
In May this year former career criminal Terence Moloney, 48, denied carrying out the murder as he stood trial for unconnected allegations of burglary and harassment.
He was cleared of both charges.
But in an extraordinary twist in the trial, Moloney, of Rona Gardens, Thornaby, was asked about the unsolved murder of Darren 'Dougie' Manders.
It emerged he'd sent his ex a text saying: "I'm going to do a Dougie on you. You watch."
He said his former partner had joked to people that he killed his acquaintance Mr Manders, 31, whose remains were found in Nunthorpe in 2003.
He told the court: "I thought it was disgusting because I knew Dougie very well."
He was asked: "Did you kill Dougie Manders?" Moloney replied: "Certainly not, no."
He told the jury he was never a suspect and was never arrested or interviewed by police over the murder.
He said he sent the text in reply to a message from his ex and he would never hurt her.
Now a decade on from Darren's death his family is still waiting for answers.
His mum and dad Lesley and Terry Manders told of the heartache at a press conference last month where they were joined by Darren's brother Anthony, 42.
Lesley, 59, said: "Every day is difficult, it's not just Christmas and birthdays. We don't even know the day that Darren died, we don't know what happened, where he died, how he died - we just don't know."
What the family do know is that the 31-year-old had suffered fatal head injuries and his body was dumped under a pile of logs.
At the time of his death his young sons Lee and Jason were still in school - and tragically his youngest son Spencer was born three months later.
Lee is now 21 and a security guard and Jason is 20 and works in IT. Spencer is now nine and asks questions about his dad.
"I think with Spencer the others have memories of their dad but he doesn't," said Lesley. "When we are talking about him he says 'he was my dad too'. We tell him the baddies have hurt him and he has gone to heaven.
"Lee has a tattoo of one piece of a jigsaw and he says that's the bit that is missing from his life - his dad.
"Darren is in your heart, he is in your head but everybody has their own way of dealing with it."
"Nothing much has changed," added Lesley. "It's like it happened yesterday and you have to learn to live with it.
Darren's dad Terry said: "All we want is for the person who has done this to be brought to justice.
"It's a big thing to keep to yourself, how could somebody live with it?
"I don't think that person has the conscience but you need somebody to say 'he did it'."
Lesley added: "I believe the police are near. They just need a little more information."
Detective Superintendent Peter McPhillips, leading the investigation, said previous appeals have generated additional information but not found the killer.
He said: "Hopefully someone can examine their conscience and 10 years on, bring some closure for the family."


Amnesty called on Airbnb to immediately implement its ban and to extend it to east Jerusalem, which Israel captured along with the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast War.
JERUSALEM: Amnesty International on Wednesday urged online travel sites to ban listings from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
"Amnesty International is a serious and respected human rights organization, whose work to stop abuses around the world should never be underrated, but its singular focus on corporate entities doing business in Israeli settlements is gravely misguided," said WJC CEO and Executive Vice President Robert Singer.

forum.cncdrive.com • View topic - Toolpath display error.
The arc is shown incorrectly in the toolpath display, although it appears to cut correctly.
Gerry, I think (but I will have to study the code a bit longer to make sure) that it displays incorrectly, because the code has an issue and it is not really a valid arc.
It is not a valid or real arc if it has different radius on the 2 sides. In other words when the center point has different distances from the 2 endpoint and so it is not really a center point.
The motion API supports to cut this kind of code too, but the drawing algorithm not.
We have not decided yet if we will want to make the drawing algorithm to handle this type of code or if we want the software to through an error on it and not execute.
There are a few reasons for both and so we could not decide yet.
I didn't even think that the code was bad. Sorry.
Not sure if you should keep it like this, or throw an error?
because on one hand it is a feature that the controller can execute it but on the other hand it is not a real arc, so it is a g-code error.
Mach3 has a similar "feature" that you can use to create spirals, by offsetting the end of the arc. I think in Mach3 it's limited to 1/2" or 12mm, and any more any you get an error.
I see. We will think about the best solution, probably we will just adjust the toolpath display and will allow this type of errorous code to execute.
Helical interpolation is simply changing the depth axis while there is an arc interpolation on the active plane and ofcourse the UCCNC can already do that on all 3 planes.
Spiral interpolation is also possible as described in this forum thread, just the display is not proper. However spiral interpolation can be done also with real arcs and in this example the arc is not an arc, because the center point is not in the middle and so the radius is not constant, so it is not an arc, but again the UCCNC will interpolate this errorour code too it will just not display it properly.
IVe made some code changing in the toolpath view, so now the changing radius not real arcs are also displayed properly.
I'm attaching an image with Gerry's errorous arc and the spiral is displayed. It will be like this in the next UCCNC release.

Statutory Rape in Canada is defined as any sexual contact with a person under the age of consent. This usually refers to an adults touching children for sexual purposes. The age of consent is consistent across Canada and does not vary between provinces. This means that people who are 15 years of age or younger cannot legally consent to sexual activity. Engaging in sexual activity or sexual touching of a person under the age of consent can result in, among other charges, a charge of statutory rape.
In , the age of consent was changed from 14 years of age to 16 years of age. This was the first time that the law on the age of consent had been changed since
Consent – when someone freely agrees to engage in a certain act – is a non-negotiable part of sexual activity.

The Age of Consent in Canada is 16 years old. The age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity.

Age of consent law in Canada refers to cultural and legal discussions in Canada regarding the age of consent , which was raised in May as part of the Tackling Violent Crime Act. In May , the Canadian government passed a bill to raise the age of consent from 14 to 16, while creating a close-in-age exemption for sex between 14—15 year olds and partners less than 5 years older, and keeping an existing close-in-age clause for sex between 12—13 year olds and partners less than 2 years older.
In , the age of consent was raised from 12 to Former Toronto police officer Paul Gillespie said the bill would give police "more tools" in the battle against Internet predators. One of the motivators for the reform of these laws in Canada was the case of Dale Eric Beckham. In March , Beckham, then 31 years old, travelled from his home in Woodlands, Texas to Ottawa , Ontario to meet with a year-old boy he had met over the internet.
The boy's parents, after observing him sneaking away in the middle of the night into a taxi, alerted the police who tracked the cab to a downtown hotel. Police found Beckham and the boy unclothed in a hotel room, where they were engaged in sexual activity; it was later determined that the two had also engaged in sexual intercourse the previous night. Police also discovered hundreds of pornographic images of children on a laptop computer that Beckham had brought with him from Texas. Beckham was arrested and held without bail.

"The Fellowship," by Philip and Carol Zaleski
For a real review of this fine work, see The Atlantic. These here are just some notes to self so I don't forget that I just read a 500-page book.
I've just finished reading The Fellowship, by Philip and Carol Zaleski, a group biography of the Inklings, which evokes with extraordinary clarity images of clubmanship and bonhomie the group enjoyed between the wars. Not much of the material was new to me, having taught C.S. Lewis and the Inklings for the University of Washington, and having read biographies of Lewis by George Sayers and Alan Jacobs, as well as Lewis' own Surprised by Joy and his Collected Letters, but the enigmatic figures satelliting the myth-maker (try as they might, no one manages to get Lewis out of the spotlight) find rather fuller expression here than they had had for me, and the group's travails are depicted with the sympathy I think they deserve in this lively, ambitious book.
Clearly both researchers and fans, the Zaleskis sometimes blur the lines, allowing their affection for the characters (which who can fail to feel?) to overwhelm accuracy of assessment. For example, Tolkien dabbled in watercolors, and was a pretty fine draftsman, but his work doesn't deserve the hushed tones the Zaleskis offer it, as though the world had ignored another Van Gogh in failing to grant him fame for it. Likewise, they discuss Lewis' poetry as though it compared favorably to T.S. Eliot's. They might even have been equal talents, the Zaleskis imply, had not public tastes shifted toward the modern under the don's feet. But that's not so. Lewis was wretched as a poet and as soon as he realized the fact, his whole world (and ours) grew richer.
Though they seem to have a hard time uttering criticism about these heroes, the Zaleskis rarely flatter concerning personal matters; a restraint I appreciate. Most biographers either ignore Warnie's alcholism or wag thier fingers at him, as though dipsomania were fit subject for Sophoclean tragedy. The Zaleskis do neither, speaking plainly and seriously about his many hospitalizations without raising the proverbial eyebrow whenever we see him serving drinks.
They show a little less restraint on the subject of women, especially Dorothy Sayers, a tough, intelligent, successful, and deeply-admired figure who they have standing a the bottom of a tree house weeping at a hand-scrawled sign reading "No Girlz Aloud." Several times they repeat the fact that no women attended Inklings meetings, but gentlemen's clubs existed in the early twentieth century, as did ladies' clubs. We need no more sigh at their social divisions than mock them for their ridiculously sluggish internet connections, especially when the circumstances so obviously suited all concerned. Who, seeing the Inklings' corporate output (including Sayers'), could wish they had done things differently?
The Zaleskis give us an academically-robust Tolkien, which is a pleasant update to the picture Hobbit fans sometimes have of a professor phoning in his academic duties in service of his real passion for fantasy. And they give us also a Tolkien beautifully devoted to his family. He took each of his children on walks separately, for instance, acknowledging that they were different people with individual needs. About his wife Edith Tolkien believed:
'nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes,' as a better partner might easily have been found, but that nonetheless, one's spouse is one's real soulmate, chosen by God through seemingly haphazard events. Edith despite her lack of intellectual depth, her religious recalcitrance, and her fading beauty, was his real soul mate, and to her he pledged his body, his energies, his life (211)
The Fellowship also corrected my Lewis timeline somewhat. I knew he did well during his life, but didn't have a sense of how popular Screwtape Letters made him. That many of the Christians who admire Mere Christianity did so first as radio broadcasts I knew, but not what blockbusters were the broadcasts themselves. I also liked Joy for the first time, who Debra Winger plays as Yoko Ono in the beautiful film Shadowlands, and who always seems like a hustler. She still reads partly that way, calculating circumstances so that she could ensnare the wealthy and famous writer, but in Zaleskis' portrait, she's so intelligent and successful in her own right that their partnership makes more sense than it had for me previously, and than it ever did for Lewis' friends.
Finally, I like that the book showcases Oxford. The Inklings couldn't have happened anywhere else and the city gets its due here; rather than stressing Ireland as some have done, or even the Kilns as others have, the Zaleskis give us a set of lives tangled around each other and an actual tangle of streets in that magic, holy place.

Q: Change justify-content value when flex items overflow container Look at following fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/27x7rvx6
The CSS (#test is flexbox container, and .items are its children):
#test {
  display: flex;
  flex-flow: row nowrap;
  justify-content: center;
  width: 300px;
  margin-left: 150px;
  border: 2px solid red;
}
.item {
  flex: 0 0 70px;
  margin-right: 10px;
  background: blue;
  height: 70px;
  border: 2px solid black;
}

There is a one line (nowrap) flexbox with fixed size items. The container has justify-content set to center. Because the items can't shrink and are together wider than the container they start to overflow.
My problem is that the content overflows both to the left and to the right. Is there a way to make the content justified to center but once it starts to overflow make it act like the justify-content property is set to flex-start, resp. make it overflow only to right of the container?

A: justify-content is not the right approach to center because of the problem you describe.
Instead, I recommend auto margins. You can use them to center:

Prior to alignment via justify-content and align-self,
  any positive free space is distributed to auto margins in that
  dimension.

And they behave as you want with overflow:

Overflowing boxes ignore their auto margins and overflow in the end
  direction.

For example, you can set margin-left: auto to the first flex item and margin-right: auto to the last one, or insert ::before and ::after pseudo-elements.

.test {
  display: flex;
  flex-flow: row nowrap;
  width: 200px;
  border: 2px solid red;
  margin: 10px;
}
.wide.test {
  width: 500px;
}
.test::before, .test::after {
  content: '';  /* Insert pseudo-element */
  margin: auto; /* Make it push flex items to the center */
}
.item {
  flex: 0 0 50px;
  margin-right: 10px;
  background: blue;
  height: 50px;
  border: 2px solid black;
}


Germany's contribution to the 14th Biennale of Architecture in Venice, curated by the commissioners Alex Lehnerer and Savvas Ciriacidis, is the point of departure for this issue of ARCH+. "Bungalow Germania," as their installation in the German Pavilion is called, comprises a life-sized replica of select rooms and features of the Kanzlerbungalow [Chancellor's Bungalow], that modest, inscrutable glass building in Bonn that Sep Ruf designed for West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard in 1964. Upon first encounter, Lehnerer and Ciriacidis' installation might appear as nothing more than an intervention into the space of the German Pavilion, which was significantly remodeled under National Socialism. Further consideration of their work, however, raises a number of important questions about architecture and about how field conceives of itself. In grappling with these questions in this issue, two thematic rubrics emerged: the architecture of power, and the power of architecture.
The installation in the German Pavilion—a physical juxtaposition of two diametrically opposed moments in the history of representational German architecture—offers a uniquely productive opportunity to consider the question of architecture's agency. This issue of ARCH+ approaches the topic from a variety of angles, broaching, for example, the contemporary debates surrounding the philsophical movement known as "New Realism," and delineating the movement's protracted entanglement with architecture.
The chair is guest editor of this issue.

The Wildlife Trusts seek business support for £30 million appeal to kickstart nature's recovery across 30% of land and sea by 2030
The Wildlife Trusts seek business support for £30 million appeal to kickstart nature's recovery across 30% of land and sea by 2030 | Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce
Home > The Wildlife Trusts seek business support for £30 million appeal to kickstart nature's recovery across 30% of land and sea by 2030
The Wildlife Trusts has launched launch 30 by 30, a public appeal to raise £30 million to start putting nature into recovery across at least 30 per cent of land and sea by 2030. The Wildlife Trusts – a federation of 46 grassroots charities – believe that restoring nature is vital for people and for industry. Investing in healthy, functioning ecosystems is essential for tackling climate change and the resilience of the UK economy.
September 2020 marks the fifth anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The Wildlife Trusts are uniquely placed to help businesses working towards sustainability goals for responsible consumption and production, life on land, life below the water, sustainable communities, and climate action.
Craig Bennett, chief executive of The Wildlife Trusts, said: "We've set ourselves an ambitious goal – to raise £30 million and kickstart the process of securing at least 30 per cent of land and sea in nature's recovery by 2030. We will buy land to expand and join-up our nature reserves; we'll work with others to show how to bring wildlife back to their land, and we're calling for nature's recovery through a new package of policy measures including big new ideas like Wildbelt.
"The next 10 years must be a time of renewal, of rewilding our lives, of green recovery. We all need nature more than ever and when we succeed in reaching 30 by 30 we'll have wilder landscapes that store carbon and provide on-your-doorstep nature for people too. Everyone can support and help us to succeed."
The Wildlife Trusts have a long history of working with businesses to improve places for nature and to inspire and enable employees and customers to experience the joy of being closer to nature. The Wildlife Trusts' existing partnerships demonstrate the contribution that businesses can make to achieving 30 by 30:
Severn Trent Water is creating 5,000 hectares of space for nature and working with Wildlife Trust farm advisors across Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire to improve places for wildlife, clean-up agricultural practices and improve water quality.
During its 13 year partnership with The Wildlife Trusts, Aggregate Industries has managed its landholding to benefit wildlife and has over 4,000 hectares reaching Biodiversity Benchmark standard. Many precious and remarkable nature reserves, such as Ripon City Wetlands in North Yorkshire have been created for local wildlife and for people to enjoy and care for.
Jordans Cereals enables its oat farmers to farm for nature. Their farmers set aside 10 per cent of their land to be managed for wildlife and together they provide over 4,000 hectares for wildlife. Over the last five years each of Jordan's oat farmers have worked with experts from their local Wildlife Trust to put in place measures to benefit species including birds, bat and pollinators.
Employees of leading international law firm Hogan Lovells support The Wildlife Trusts through their employee fundraising activities and generous provision of pro-bono legal advice.
Every year, more than 600 employees from Siemens Plc take part in Wild Work Days – improving natural places in their communities and demonstrating the value of nature on employee wellbeing. Employees return to work feeling happier and healthier; more than 81% reported an improved sense of wellbeing following their time spent with their local Wildlife Trust.
Paul Murphy, CEO, Jordans Cereals says: "Time is running out to make the scale of change we all need to see to help restore nature and bring back our wildlife. Jordans Cereals has been working with The Wildlife Trusts and with farmers who care passionately about the future of this country and the wildlife it sustains, setting aside over 4,200 hectares of land and enough hedgerows to go four times around the M25 for nature to flourish. We've seen first-hand how investing in more nature-friendly farming methods and sustainable food production has reaped remarkable dividends for wildlife. Consumers are demanding positive action on the ground and the most competitive businesses of the future are certain to be those who invest more in a sustainable future."
Working with The Wildlife Trusts is an opportunity to leave a valuable business legacy, to help mitigate environmental impacts, meet sustainability goals and work towards a greener future for all. Over 2,000 businesses already work with The Wildlife Trusts and together we can achieve our goal of 30% of land and sea for nature by 2030.
Funds raised by The Wildlife Trusts' new 30 by 30 appeal will go towards projects which range from land acquisition to peatland repair and species reintroduction. Examples include:
Lost fenland to be restored – Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust aims to restore 50 hectares of the county's lost peat-fenland at Bourne North Fen to become a home for a wide variety of wildlife, linking up important nature reserves, creating a multi-purpose wetland which will store water for agriculture, improve water quality for consumers, and underpin a local eco-tourism economy.
Repairing peatland to lock-up carbon and help wildlife – Lancashire Wildlife Trust's pioneering carbon farm at Winmarleigh is believed to be the first of its kind in the UK. Drained for agriculture in the 1970s the carbon farm is part of a project across five European countries to see how peatlands capture carbon. Work has started to rewet fields and plant over 100,000 plugs of sphagnum moss.
Beaver reintroduction and farmland bird recovery – Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust have plans to reintroduce beavers to the Island. A complex of wetland nature reserves in the Eastern Yar Valley offers an exciting opportunity for this wonderful ecosystem engineer to work its magic. The Trust is also working on returning missing farmland birds such as cirl bunting and chough to the Island.
Converting low-grade agricultural land into nature areas near homes – Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is changing the way nature reserves are acquired giving highest priority to land with low existing wildlife value where the potential for biodiversity gain is greatest. These areas will be transformed into new species-rich wild areas that will be freely accessible to people and will help capture carbon and prevent flooding.

To open a pachinko parlor, it is necessary to file an application for a business license with the police station which has jurisdiction over the location of the pachinko parlor and obtain the business license in accordance with the provisions of the Entertainment Business Law. Because this application requires considerable time and labor, the application procedure is generally entrusted to an administrative scrivener.
Generally, forty (40) to fifty (50) days are required from the time the application is submitted until the license is received. Requirements to obtain a license largely consist of "personnel requirements," "locational requirements," and "structural requirements." Entity requirements include whether the applicant or managers have committed any crimes or illegal acts, recovered from bankruptcy, or had their entertainment business license rescinded within five (5) years, etc. Locational requirements are imposed to verify whether the pachinko parlor is located in an area where pachinko parlors are prohibited from operating due to an ordinance or other regulations of the relevant prefecture. Structural requirements are established to verify whether the pachinko parlor satisfies the standards for parlor structures as specified by the Entertainment Business Act and prefectural ordinances, for example, whether the pachinko parlor has facilities that obstruct the view in the parlor and advertisements that may be indecent or damage the integrity of the entertainment business, and satisfies the prescribed lighting requirements. In addition to these requirements, a pachinko parlor operator must comply with various regulations concerning operation of a pachinko parlor such as regulations for game charges and prohibited acts of pachinko parlor operators including the purchase of prizes. Furthermore, a fire station will inspect the structure and facilities of the pachinko parlor.
Game machines installed in the pachinko parlor also require inspection. At first, an inspection body examines whether the game machines manufactured by a game machine manufacturer comply with game machine regulations. If the game machines pass the inspection, then those game machines obtain official approval of the public safety commission of the relevant prefecture. As a general rule, a pachinko parlor cannot be operated with game machines that have not obtained official approval. A pachinko parlor that purchase game machines from a manufacturer is also required to have an inspection performed whether the game machines that have obtained official approval are properly installed or not. A pachinko parlor can be operated only after all of the above requirements were satisfied.


The one thing that has kept me from diving into investing is fear of taxes. Every time I read about taxes and investments, it seems really, really complicated and I'm worried I'm going to be stuck with a big tax bill at the end of a given year even if I think I did everything smartly.
That's an understandable worry. Investment taxes can be a bit difficult to swallow at times, but there are a few rules you can follow to make things easier for you.
My first suggestion is to use a solid tax preparation software package when you do your income taxes. A good software package like TurboTax will walk you through everything you need to do in terms of filing your taxes correctly. You'll avoid making significant errors, so you can be confident about the taxes you file.
The second step I'd suggest is to keep careful track of every dime you invest. Note the date that you invested the money, what you invested it in, and how many shares of that investment you were able to purchase. I use a spreadsheet for this very task.
The third step – and this is probably the most important one – is to keep very careful track of every dime that's paid out from your investments. If the investment pays out a dividend, record it. If the investment pays out a capital gains distribution, record it. Any time you receive cash as a result of an investment, you need to make absolutely sure that you write it down.
Now, for many investments, people choose to re-invest the proceeds. That's a reasonable choice, but it's also the choice that can get people into tax trouble.
Let's say you have $50,000 invested in a mutual fund. The fund decides to pull out of several investments, believing them to be at their peak. The fund then has to pay out a distribution. Let's say they're paying out a distribution that's worth 20% of the face value of their shares, which means you're getting $10,000. If you just re-invest that money immediately, as many people do, you now own some more shares of the fund, but you're also on the hook for $10,000 in additional income on your tax form, which can ding you pretty hard if you're not prepared for it.
What's an example of an investment with very low or no turnover? Individual stocks have no turnover, as you just own them and hold them until you sell them. Pieces of land have no turnover for the same reason. Index funds usually have very low turnover, like the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index.
Some investments earn dividends, which work much like interest in a savings account. Dividends are either taxed like ordinary income or, if you've held the investment for a significant period, like a long-term capital gains (meaning at a lower rate than ordinary income). Again, these are often reinvested, so you'll need to keep track of these carefully.
My solution is that whenever I reinvest a dividend or distribution, I put a bit of money in a savings account to cover the taxes on that dividend or distribution. Usually, my investment house sends me a notice whenever a distribution is paid out and reinvested. When that happens, I'll just move a bit of money from a checking account into a savings account to cover the taxes there. At some point, the taxes might be big enough for me to have to come up with a different solution, but I'm certainly not there yet!
When you actually sell an investment and reap more money than you paid into it, that difference is a capital gain. You're going to owe taxes on it. If you've held that investment for more than a year, it's a long-term capital gain, meaning you'll get a lower tax rate on it than your normal income. If you've not held the investment for that long, then it's a short-term gain, which means you pay normal income taxes on it.
For that, I usually put aside 40% of the proceeds from any investment I sell for taxes. If I buy something for $1,000 and sell it for $2,000, I'm going to put aside $400 for the taxes on that gain. I might not end up owing that much, but having more than enough to cover the taxes is better than not having quite enough to cover them.
Like I said at the beginning, using a good tax software package makes this all really easy, provided you kept good records along the way. I have bought and sold many investments and had many distributions and dividends come my way and I've never had an issue thanks to good record-keeping and a good tax preparation package.

Violent Riots Prompt PETA To Rush Humane-Education Packs To Cambridge Schools
Sandra Smiley +44 (0)207 357 9229, ext 229; [email protected]
Cambridge – In response to the violent riots that have swept the UK – including in Cambridge, where 30 to 40 young people reportedly clashed with police – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Foundation, a charity committed to ending animal suffering, is contacting local schools to provide young people with tools to make compassionate choices. Their Just Choices humane-education packs can easily be incorporated into the curriculum, and teaches students how their everyday decisions affect others – of different races, religions, gender and species – and inspires them to participate in non-violent civic engagement – a concept that PETA believes could help prevent future outbreaks of violence.
"With violence on the rise, teaching lessons that emphasise respect and social justice is vital", says PETA spokesperson Sandra Smiley. "The astonishing number of young people rioting on the streets is proof that along with their ABCs young people need to learn compassion."
Geared towards secondary students, the Just Choices programme is designed to teach respect for all members of the community, from humans to non-humans. As PETA points out in its letter, individuals who show disregard for the feelings of others are often indiscriminate about whom they harm – be it human adults, children or animals.


Oh, so seriously the Lotto filterologists weed out any contigious wholly or partially Numerical Order Combs from their Wheels but with no factual basis for doing so - the table below tests 01 02 03 04 05 06 over 17,850 actual 6/49 lotto draws and show an above expectation result.
Basically Lotto numerologists like Gail Howard and Ken Silver are good at misrepresenting the truth. Numerical order is not a factor in the random selection of Lotto winning numbers - they are not drawn in numerical order - that is simply a convention and since there are billions of permutations or ordered ways of presenting 1 to 49 integers each of those is just as valid as numerical order. The absurdity is that the love/hate relationship between numerologists and numerical order means that what is regarded as good for one order is considerd bad for another.
we see there is a separation of at least 8 integers.
For a given Pool in a Pick 6 Lotto game the count of non-consecutives is easily seen to follow the simple formula (Pool - 5) c 6 which I'll claim as my discovery as I could not find it given elsewhere to date. The absurdity of the likes of Gail Howard and Ken Silver urging Lotto players not to play CombSixes with consecutives is easily seen for the West Virginia 6/25 and the Australian 6/45 games where the count of CombSixes with consecutives is greater.
The number of CombSixes in a 6/49 Lotto game is 13,983,816. The number of these that have consecutive CombThrees eg 01 02 03 * * * or * * * 21 22 23 etc is 612,348 ie 1 in 22.836387 or roughly just a bit over 4%.
Analysing some 19,577 6/49 Lotto draws from around the world we expect to see some 19,577/22.836387=857 with consecutive CombThrees. The actual number is 970 ie favouring the consecutive CombThrees. So much for numerology bunkum!
