Free information event of the torso-Verlag to a free information event with the theme of PANTONE Textile system – aspects of industrial communication of color the torso-Verlag invites on 23 January 2014 in its premises. Mrs Ingrid Holacsek refers to three issues of color. The first lecture begins at 10:30 and deals with the opportunities and risks in the modern color management. This involves also the technically correct implementation of the colors in the entire workflow, from design to production. After the lunch break, the lecture on color strategies for global markets worldwide illuminated the importance of color in the brand communication. Discussed technical aspects are aspect and the psychological impact, the question about the trend of color on the purchasing behavior of customers. The third lecture by 2015 offers exciting views of the color trends of the coming season with understanding development and importance. The lectures are complemented by an exhibition with the work equipment of the PANTONE Textile systems. That provides a good opportunity for interested intensively to be aware of the PANTONE colors and their application in production and design. In an open discussion after the presentations Mrs Holacsek is for questions to the PANTONE color palettes available. Guests also have the opportunity, find out about other industry-relevant color systems and color collections, such as PANTONE plus series, NCS, CLASSIC, discuss colors and the colors in the CMYK color space to inform and to to the main working ways RAL DESIGN, Munsell, HKS RAL. In the exhibition space for standard light, different color test lamps with different light types can be tested. Also, the two-stage color vision test for determination of color vision and color discrimination ability to the qualification of employees can be performed. Participants of the eyesight tests receive a certificate upon request. Note of the Organizer: the info day training and information for professionals the motto and is not a sales event. For participation in the info day, there is a confirmation of participation.
Decision-making, a leader must allow all team members to actively participate in decisions to take in the Organization, leaving his subordinates to share their decision-making capacity with his immediate superiors, in such a way that it is functionally effective for the growth of the organization. To make it effective wait the time indicated for participation, issues involving the members must be important for their interests, they must have intelligence capabilities, expertise, skills of communication, to have a say and the Organization's culture must support them. Regularly leaders do not know everything that their subordinates are doing, therefore participation allows those who know more to contribute more, thus obtaining as result more quality decisions, the interdependence of workers activities also require that you consult with people from other departments and units. Increasing the need for committees and group meetings to resolve issues that affect them in a reciprocal manner. In addition, participation increases commitment to decisions. It is less likely that people would reject a decision that puts into practice if they have participated to take it.
Finally, participation offers rewards inherent to workers, since it makes their jobs more interesting and more meaningful. Teamwork, that mainly exists the leader should always seek the good of each Member of your team, instilling in each the commitment and the strategies to follow to achieve its goals and achieve its objectives it is necessary that there is leadership, harmony, responsibility, creativity, desire, organization and cooperation between each of the members. Leader must supervise and coordinate the tasks and its members to comply with certain rules, this leader in turn must delete among members negative thoughts and false beliefs on the Organization and his co-workers to replace them with more positive and constructive beliefs. You must find the self-confidence of his followers by convincing them that they are competent, they have a large pool of potential and that they are capable of facing the challenges involved in the performance of their duties.

Did you know that vacuum cleaners are of various kinds? It turns out they can be divided into several types: normal, vertical, and built-in vacuum cleaner robots. How and where to use them and what's the difference? Let's look at more. Conventional vacuum cleaners, they are sometimes called balloon used for dry cleaning, they differ in characteristics – power, weight, size, type of dust collection and filtration. Filtering is important because it depends on the quality of her cleaning. Read more here: David S. Levine. Dust also have different types: the most popular still today are – paper bags for vacuum cleaners fabric, synthetic. And there is also bagless vacuum cleaner collecting dust. Filters can also be divided into paper, cloth, coal and synthetic water and HEPA-Filter. And even on what filters are used in the vacuum cleaner may depend on its price.
Vertical vacuum cleaners are popular mainly in the West and they are designed for cleaning large areas. Vertical vacuum cleaners, when compared with conventional vacuum cleaners are much easier to use, can remove different types of dirt. But there are drawbacks – they sufficiently large and noisy. Built-in vacuum cleaners fairly new technology for us. Hard to believe but all the dust away with unpleasant odors, allergens, through ducts, which are embedded in floors and walls.
Sam vacuum cleaner driven out of the room. Plus, this vacuum cleaner a lot – they are silent, the power and the degree of purification is quite high, but they consume less energy. But they are quite expensive, and mount them too is not easy, so they must be set even during repair or possibly during construction of the house. Vacuum cleaners-robots – also the latest technology of the modern age. Small, lightweight, compact and stylish, without carbon brushes and hoses. The very moves around the room and vacuuming, avoiding people, things, defines the steps. He knows when to be recharged and returned to base. Cleans along the walls, all the possible available surface. Has several functions, such as quick-cleaning, when he removes the middle of the room, changing the direction. And there are functions that the robot cleans the surface by 2 times. They do not want to manage, but it is especially convenient for busy people. But one problem – they are quite expensive.

Ryan Rua Answers Questions!!
A look at the current Hickory Crawdad and a chat with him about hot dogs.
By Tepid Participation Aug 5, 2013, 10:00am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Ryan Rua Answers Questions!!
You just keep hitting, young man, we'll figure out the rest.
Win McNamee
Ryan Rua has heard it all before. He's been too short, too skinny, his shoulders were too narrow, his feet were too small, his hands weren't good, his bat wouldn't play, he's too old. He's heard it. Whatever criticisms you want to lob his way, he's prepared for them. They'll be absorbed into his skin. Some guys learn to deflect the acetate, others ignore it completely, but a unique few absorb it. They let it sink into their fabric, and they willingly funnel the barbed words directly into a perpetually refilling fuel tank. Ryan Rua is one of those guys. There isn't a method to the madness for this type of person, or more specifically, this type of player, and there are really only two outcomes. Either they absorb so much of the criticism it eventually eats them to the core and they're unable to remain productive, or they find the sweet spot between the heat, and the actual fire.
Ryan grew up outside of Cleveland in Amherst, Ohio. An All-County guard for the basketball team, he was also a pitcher and obviously, an infielder for the baseball squad. A few colleges came calling, but he wanted to play early and often, so he chose to attend nearby Lake Erie College. Lake Erie had a baseball team, but it was hardly a powerhouse. They now have exactly one player who has been drafted by a major league baseball team…Ryan Rua. A 17th round pick in 2011, Rua left Lake Erie after his junior year to join the Rangers, a decision he told Sam Ameen of Northern Ohio's News Herald was an easy one. "It wasn't that difficult of a decision, I had full support of my family and the coaching staff as well. Everyone that knew me, knew my dream was to play professional baseball, so I think that made it easy." Well then. The college shortstop spent the majority of the 2011 season with the Arizona Rookie League Rangers and took up residence at 3rd base, hitting .321/.395/.512. The 2012 season was spent with the Spokane Indians and included ample time at first, second, and third base. Ryan even made 7 starts at shortstop, all while hitting .293/.368/.432. But it wasn't just the on-field results that were showing maturation. One of the things young ball players realize is that it isn't just a matter of playing the games. It's a lifestyle, not a job. Eat right, practice your trade relentlessly, stay fit, learn to love your teammates. These are all things that are learned and developed as a player makes his way through the system. Ryan was learning those things on a steep curve over his first two years.
In 2013 he joined the heralded herd of lofty-minded prospects headed to Hickory. Many of these kids were more highly touted than Ryan, and they were younger, and wealthier, and had enough press clippings to start a bonfire, but Ryan has given exactly zero shits about all of that. He's been the steady hand, and he's found a power stroke. Has he ever found a power stroke. A development he credits the Crawdads' hitting coach Justin Mashore in helping to foster, Ryan leads the team, and has at times this season, led all of minor league baseball with 29 home runs. There's a bit of pop in that lumber and now we know it.
As for the future, it's unwritten. Well, actually, that isn't true, it's been written, several times, by pundits, evaluators, opposing coaches, and front office execs. Time and time again, people have shaken their heads and politely said, "He's, well, he's just too…". I've read those reports, and they're insightful, and often based on years and years of observations and experiences, but I also like to believe in the unbelievable. I keep a vial of optimism handy because of the knowledge that it happens. Not often enough to discern a pattern, but often enough to identify the dustings of when it's possible. It's possible when a kid loves the game more than breathing, and when the doubt of others fits as snuggly and as comfortably as Clooney's tuxedo. Lucky for us, Ryan Rua appears comfortable with the doubt. He doesn't care, he hears it, he absorbs it…but he doesn't care. He doesn't say much (as you're about to find out), unless you're an opposing catcher, or occasionally an umpire, but he listens. He hears what they're saying, and the truth is…it's helping.
What is your current height? 6' 2"
What is your current weight? 195
Let's get right into the nitty gritty. I know all players will say they just want to get to the bigs, at any position, and that is absolutely the correct answer, but you got options. 2B, 3B, or LF, or (D.) all of the above? - You hit it spot on, whatever it takes to get me there, i started to feel comfortable at 2nd throughout the year, but being able to play multiple positions should help me out
What's your favorite pitch to hit, in what count, and why? 2-0 3-1 fastball, just gear up for it and let it fly.
What's your least favorite pitch to hit and why? (Assume no opposing pitchers will ever read this or, more likely, by the time they've read it, you will have made adjustments and you'll crush the crap outta the pitch you're about to mention)- that hard 2 seam in when I'm looking soft away hah
I recently wrote about the strikeouts of the Hickory squad and whether or not people should be worried about them. But that was all blah blah blah and us just guessing, so I'm asking you, a player. Do you worry about strikeouts, or are they just part of the game at this point? Yeah it's definitely apart of the game and is going to happen so I try not to worry about it.
You're from Amherst Ohio (30 minutes outside of Cleveland for our readers) and when I began investigating this fine town, I kept happening upon mentions of Hot Dog Heaven. Seems an ambitious name for a restaurant, but it's apparently been there a long time and makes a damn find dog. Is there, in fact, a damn fine hot dog to be found at Hot Dog Heaven?- Best hot dogs I've ever had in my life, go there at least once a week in the offseason.
You are the first professional draft pick from Lake Erie College. I learned in my research that the mascot of LEC is the Storm. That name officially replaced "Unicorns" in 1988 when the college added men's athletics. Did the jerkfaces from rival Ashland University ever call you guys the Unicorns, and would you have attended this awesome place had they not changed their name? - Haha no we were never made fun of for that team name, and yeah i still would have gone there because they gave me the opportunity to come in and start as a freshman.
I listen to many of the games online with the fine call of Aaron Cox, and it seems you play the game with a bit of a chip on your shoulder. I also derived this from a previous interview where you said "it's given me a chip on my shoulder." Just so you know, we're fans of that. Does it come from being doubted? -yeah growing up i was always the smallest kid on the team or on the court, and i heard from a lot of people that i wouldn't succeed in college, and even more that i wouldn't be able to adjust to pro ball…but everything has worked out thus far. And even going to a Division 2 school where a lot of kids don't get drafted, but i think its something that i will always have.
Your batting average for June and July really jumped compared to your average in April and May. What do you attribute that to?- Just getting more comfortable as the season has gone along and pitch recognition.
5 words to describe Lebron James: (I ask all people from Ohio this) I used to like him.
Shout out time! Let's drop some names of folks who've helped you out along the way: High school coach - Al McConihe, College coach- Brian Mcgee, my father and everyone else that coached me growing up
What's the origin of the name "Rua"?- Its actually Spanish…but I got the blonde hair and blue eyes from my moms side haha
Not that you should be thinking about it now, because the 'Dads wanna make the playoffs, but what does this offseason hold for you? A lot of indoor batting cages because there is a foot and a half of snow outside? Adding weight, subtracting weight, working at a specific position, goin' out to Arizona at all? What does Ryan Rua do from the middle of September through February? - Indoor work a lot up north, Go out to AZ early to get ready for the season and out of the cold weather. A lot of lifting and agility at my high school, 5 times a week, to get my weight up…hoping to come back around 205-210lbs.
Big thanks to Ryan for taking time to chat and for answering my queries, even the dumb ones. Best of luck, young man, we'll be watching.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow enforcement of a ban on asylum for any immigrants who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
Two federal courts have temporarily blocked the policy President Donald Trump announced in November in response to caravans of migrants that were approaching the border. Last week, the federal appeals court in San Francisco said the ban is inconsistent with federal law and an attempted end-run around Congress.
The administration said in court papers filed Tuesday that the nationwide order preventing the policy from taking effect "is deeply flawed" and should be lifted pending an appeal that could reach the high court.
Trump's proclamation is among measures that "are designed to channel asylum seekers to ports of entry, where their claims can be processed in an orderly manner; deter unlawful and dangerous border crossings; and reduce the backlog of meritless asylum claims," Solicitor General Noel Francisco wrote in his Supreme Court filing.
Justice Elena Kagan, who handles emergency appeals from California and other western states, called for a response from opponents of the asylum policy by midday Monday.
In the first court ruling on the issue, U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar said on Nov.19 that U.S. law allows immigrants to request asylum regardless of whether they entered the country legally.
The ruling prompted Trump's criticism of Tigar as an "Obama judge" and led to an unusual public dispute between Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts, who rebuked the president with a statement defending the judiciary's independence.


Paris, one of my favorite cities in the world! It evokes so many feelings and despite having visited this magical place several times I always leave wanting more. There is something about Paris that has me entranced; there is beauty everywhere you look and in everything you taste. With the holiday season fast approaching there are numerous activities and events happening all around the city that shouldn't be missed. Keep reading to find out how you can plan the perfect Holiday City Break In Paris!
This impressive avenue is lined with shops and restaurants that cater to all budgets. We opted to enjoy a nice glass of wine outdoors at Le Fouquet's before heading to our dinner reservation. The outdoor seating is lined with heaters that actually keep you warm, so sit down, relax and enjoy the energy and excitement of this world-renowned avenue.
Arpège by chef-owner Alain Passard is a three Micheline star restaurant ranked no.12 on the 2017 World's 50 Best Restaurants list. Chef Passard makes his round throughout the night and takes time at each table to chat with his guests, I thought this to be very charming. The restaurant is not at all what you would expect of a three star Michelin, it is cozy, unpretentious and lively. Produce is delivered to the restaurant daily just before lunch service and is known to "never see the inside of a refrigerator". You will not find red meat on the menu and being a meat lover his veg-centric courses did not disappoint one bit!
As Chieff trip planner, my duty is to find fun activities that my husband will also enjoy. He likes to bake, myself on the other hand, not so much, I prefer cooking. I like to improvise and be adventurous in the kitchen and unfortunately that is the contrary of what you are supposed to do when baking. After three hours with a pastry chef you will have acquired the know-how to make the tastiest croissants and pain au chocolat. If you have the patience to repeat this very tedious process at home kudos to you, I on the other hand will stick to the neighborhood patisserie or if I'm lucky they'll be baked fresh at home by the hubby. There are several other classes available at Pâtisserie à la Carte: Macaron, French éclair & Choux Pastry, French Pastry, Traditional French Brioche, French Puff Pastry: Le Mille-Feuille and a five-day course on the art of French pastry. Highly recommend this activity and Pâtisserie à la Carte!
Our Croissants And Pains Au Chocolat! Yum!
Proud Of Our Baked Goods! Time To Eat Them All!
This charming historic district spreads across part of the 3e and 4e arrondissements. Le Marais is home to many shops, restaurants and art galleries, it is also the center of LGBT culture. You will find various French labels like Claudie Pierlot, IRO, Zadig & Voltaire, Maje, Comme des Garcons and other shops like Karl Lagerfeld, Merci and much more. Le Marais offers mid-range fashion, if you are looking for luxury designer labels head over to Avenue Montaigne and surrounding streets where you will find Tom Ford, Channel, Hermes, Prada, Dior, to name but a few.
The legendary Hotel Athénée is where you will find the Dior Institute, offering a wide range of beauty treatments in a very chic setting, after all we're talking about Christian Dior so elegance and sophistication are to be expected. The hubby and I opted for the couple's massage. Prior to our massage we were presented with several different fragrances to chose from that were then used during our massage. The massage tables are the most comfortable I've ever experienced, the massage was incredibly relaxing and the attention to detail is what sets them apart. You will find a sitting area with Dior lipstick, mascara, powder, perfume and a brush where you can freshen up after your treatment.
For those who love art there is no place like Le Louvre; you will find Egyptian Antiquities, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities; Near Eastern Antiquities; Islamic Art; Paintings; Sculptures; Decorative Arts; and Prints and Drawings. I read that if you spent 60 seconds looking at each object, going steadily for eight hours a day, it would take you 75 days to see everything. Let's be honest, a whole minute to admire ONE piece of art seems a little excessive, I'd say maybe spend 6 seconds per object and that will only take you a mere 7.5 days! Needless to say, we didn't see much.
What a lovely way to see the best of Paris in 1 hour! Get on board at the foot of the Eiffel Tower to admire the most beautiful monuments of the capital thanks to this non-stop cruise on the Seine. Sip on Champagne while you listen to an audio commentary in several languages that explains the history of the magnificent monuments that border the Seine. You will also get a great view of the Eiffel Tower so be sure to take the cruise from sunset to enjoy the light show which takes place every hour on the hour.
Get some breathtaking photos at the top of the Arc de Triomphe which is located at the western end of the Champs-Elysées. This revered patriotic site is in honor of those who fought for France during the Napoleonic Wars. Make sure to take the underground route to get to the site and do not attempt to cross the round-about unless you have a death wish. If you wish to get to the top you will need to queue to the left, usually the longer line and if you simply want to remain on street level enter on the right.
I was very disappointed to hear that the famous Champs Elysées market will not be making an appearance this year. But don't worry, there are plenty other great markets all around Paris to enjoy mulled wine and french gastronomy. Here are a few!
Le Village De Noël sur le Parvis de la Défense runs from November 23 to December 28, 2017. This is one of the largest and prettiest Christmas markets in Paris where you'll find a variety of artisan products and delicious food from all over France. It is located at Esplanade de la Défense.
Le Marché de Noël Alsacien runs from December 1-16 2017 at Paris Gare de L'Est. During these first two weeks of December you'll find various producers and artisans showcasing typical Alsatian culinary treats.
Le Marché De Noël Paris Notre Dame runs from December 15-24 2017 at Quai De Montebello. Discover French gastronomy and crafts at this lovely Christmas market just steps from Notre Dame.
After failing to get a reservation at Le Jules Verne several weeks prior to our trip, Carl decided to give it one last shot on that same evening. We are both Montreal natives and the French seem to find our accent rather amusing. Pair his usual charming ways with the accent and that's how you get a table! When entering at the foot of the tower you take a private elevator all the way up to the restaurant. Sadly we did not get a table by the window, guess he wasn't charming enough. The 6-course meal was not as loved as the attraction itself. I expected a little more from this one star Michelin restaurant but I suppose the mere fact that we got to enjoy a gourmet meal at the top of the Eiffel Tower should be enough, or should it? On our way out we were escorted through a separate entrance onto the second floor of the Eiffel Tower to enjoy more views of the city without the line up and the crowd.
In order to maintain my Platinum Membership Level I try and book hotels under the Marriott group of brands. There are many perks to sticking with one hotel rewards program and Marriott offers several luxury brands to choose from all over the world. The Renaissance Paris Arc De Triomphe is situated in the 8e arrondissement, an 8 minute walk to l'Arc de Triomphe and avenue des Champs-Elysees. It's 2.4 KM from the Tour Eiffel.

Ok So I was out on the XXXX airfields last night with a few friends.
At a loss of power what would anyone recommend me doing to get her strait and not spin out in order to put her in 3rd to jump start the car and continue on with minimal loss of time.
3. Id the issue also in my suspension because this is most likely also a wheel hop issue.
Did you pull the TSC/DCS fuse?
Also, if you really pull some tight G's to the left you could have the fuel starvation issue-- You're saying you need a fuel pump? Might help your problem abit getting that done.

6 To See This Bank Holiday Weekend
With four days off and weather that doesn't compliment outdoor activities or picnics, art exhibitions are an obvious solution for Bank Holiday boredom. However, wherever you are in the world, the weekend is always a great time to leisurely explore local art exhibitions. From Amsterdam to New York we uncover the best in contemporary art in both Public and Private galleries across a variety of practices. Whether it be fandom at David Bowie Is… or destruction in Sara Cwynar's Everything In the Studio (Destroyed) these shows provoke a range of responses.
1. Sara Cwynar: Everything In the Studio (Destroyed), Foam, Amsterdam.
Beginning with obsession, Sara Cwynar combines photography, installation and collage to produce outstanding visual works that record experience by capturing a small piece of the world and rebuilding it on her own terms. The resulting archive is composed of images saved from years of photo-taking, from encyclopedias, flea markets, and people she knows, as well as objects she encounters. For the Foam exhibition, Cwynar removed all of the materials in her studio at one time, documented each item and arranged it into a digital plan where she could fit the entire contents into a corner of the gallery.
2. Bernadette Corporation: 2000 Wasted Years, ICA, London.
For the first time, New York based collective Bernadette Corporation exhibit a retrospective, 2000 Wasted Years at the ICA. Back in the 1990's Bernadette Corporation began with the organisation of parties in downtown New York, their mock incorporation and ambiguous branding strategies eventually developed into a women's fashion line. Subsequently, their unique approach to fashion, utilising quotation, concepts, fictions, appropriation, provocation, hoaxes, and anti-artistic postures of crass commercialism, eventually reached into the world of magazine publishing, film production, political activism, literature and the market-driven art sphere.
3. James & Karla Murray: New York Nights, Clic, New York.
Exhibited in conjunction with the release of the book by the same name, James and Karla Murray reflect a cultural history of New York through photographing the illumination of the city after dark. Using 35 mm cameras, the Murray's examined all types of nighttime businesses, including establishments like Trash & Vaudeville, Apollo Theater, along with bars and taverns, restaurants, cafés, diners and bistros, drugstores and record shops and Broadway theatres too. The resulting images are not only visual delights they are portraits of New York life, representing companies that have survived decades and many with histories going back to the nineteenth century.
4. David Bowie Is, V&A, London.
In the year of his 66th birthday, David Bowie is back at the centre of the public's consciousness. To celebrate his birthday on 8 January, Bowie released a surprise single, Where Are We Now?, with the announcement of an album, The Next Day which was released 8 March. To add to this recent flurry of activity, the V&A has opened David Bowie Is. With record breaking ticket sales, David Bowie Is demonstrates Bowie's ability to continually inspire and interest the general public. The exhibition is the first international retrospective of the extraordinary career of the artist and it explores the creative processes of Bowie as a musical innovator and a cultural icon, tracing his ever changing style across five decades.
5. Beastly Hall, Hall Place and Gardens, Kent.
With the subtitle: "A place where artists and creatures collide", Beastly Hall is a collection of mythical creatures and world famous artists, paying tribute to Hall Place's magnificent lawn that features the historic Queen's Beasts, real and mythical creatures that were planted to mark the Queen's Coronation in 1953 and still stand proud today. Curated by London-based collective Artwise, the exhibition includes international work by Damien Hirst, Hyungkoo Lee, Nina Saunders and Mat Colliishaw. Producing new pieces and adapting old ones, the artists created art for display in the house and the grounds, and much of the collection is presented in the UK for the first time.
6. Aesthetica Art Prize Exhibition, York St Mary's, York.
Showcasing innovative and outstanding pieces, the Aesthetica Art Prize Exhibition features shortlisted works from artists in the following categories: Photographic and Digital Art; Three Dimensional Design and Sculpture; Painting and Drawing, and Video, Installation and Performance. The medieval backdrop of York St Mary's, York Art Gallery's contemporary art space, provides a unique setting for the exhibition, challenging the notion of the white cube and inspiring a dialogue between the historic and the contemporary. This show highlights artistic talent from locations including the USA, South Korea, Australia, Denmark and the UK.

This blog is usually about design; today its about family. My Aunt Ruth passed on Sunday, and i was honored by being asked to give her eulogy. With this honor came the burden of asking questions about her life to those who loved her deeply – her siblings, her children, and her grandchildren. Although painful at times, their stories were simply full of joy. I wanted a place for the stories to live beyond the service, this blog seemed the perfect place for family and friends to access them anytime, anywhere.
The Sweet and Elegant Auntie Ruth (center) with daughters Julie (left) and Gina (right).
Image – the deepest ocean blue shag carpet, the Golden velvet wallpaper, the golden candlesticks sconces and the Chandelier.
Well this was simply the fanciest place I knew growing up, and if it wasn't for that I'd and rest of you would never have been exposed to "good taste". Auntie Ruth was indeed elegant. Classy. And in my eyes the closest thing to royalty that this family had.
When she was a kid, along with her sisters Anne and Susan, they would wear their white bucks, and their green and yellow Holy Name band uniforms….marching in parades. This one time in a competition aunt Ann marched the band along with Ruth and Susan not in a simple straight line past the viewing booth, but in a moment of panic instead made several strange and precarious turns zigging and zagging the band across the road much to the amusement of onlookers. As Auntie Sue wacked her symbol and Auntie Ruth beat her drum, and the band played on.
Well, leaving her drums behind, Auntie Ruth found her way into Modeling. She was discovered while working at Friendly's as a waitress…and even ran for Miss Springfield! She came in fourth.
Now running for Miss Springfield, steps us back to that "royalty" that I mentioned earlier. There are certain gifts that royals must possess in order to royal it up: they need a deep love of God, they need a fierce love of family, they need the ability to tell a good story and finally they need just a touch of Zany.
1) A Deep Love of God: Christ was and is simply present for Auntie Ruth: all the way from the pictures on her walls through the pages of her bible. And even as a nightlight in her bathroom glowing safe passage to the toilet.
Pastor Geno, Harlo White and Benny Hinn guided her spiritual walk with Christ, but her grandson Jordan was her study partner going to prayer meetings and listen to tapes. When I asked Jordan his favorite memory of his grandma, without hesitation he said studying the bible with her.
With Auntie Ruth, the breath of the Holy Spirit was simply one laugh or smile away….AND sometimes in several Halleluiahs in tongues I dare not speak.
When she was given her prognosis, she exclaimed "I'm not afraid! I know where I'm going! But do you know where you're going?!" pointing to a startled room of clinicians. She was fearless in death, and was so ready see the face of Jesus.
2) A Fierce Love of Family: Her grandbabies adored her, and she adored them. From putting on graduations for her "Littlest Angels", to making the best toast – little Jacob says the secret was using Italian bread -, to being a real speed demon in the car according to Alliyah.
Mia told me her favorite memory was grandma teaching them the turkey song, and last night Mia and Michael not only sang it for me but danced it as well.
I learned that Joshua proudly showed his grandma his driver's permit in the hospital a few weeks ago. The problem is Grandma had been teaching him to drive long time ago. Now that's illegal AND that's love!
Finally Johnny shared that his favorite memory was his grandma clowning around with her new wig on her birthday. I can just imagine the light of her smile and twinkle of her eyes during these shenanigans.
She loved all the games, all the recitals and all the plays. Even though she didn't know the rules, who was competing, or what the play was about. It didn't matter. Her little ones were in it, and therefore it was GOOD.
And she loved her Reggie. Everyone needs a handyman and Reggie was hers. Fixing her car and home, he kept her running.
3) The Ability to Tell Stories: now really? Is there anyone who can tell stories better than Auntie Ruth? Now lets be clear. Stories are not depositions. They are lively half-truths brought to life with rolling eyes, raised eyebrows, big smiles, different voices, all punctuated by some really intense hand gesturing. Telling stories about being touched by the Holy Spirit or about her Rufus, Baby, Blue and Belle…all were equally riveting, and like any storyteller, she never told it the same way twice.
4) A Touch of Zany: From her obsessiveness with a clean and proper house, to her infectious cackle of a laugh, its her touch of zaniness that brought smiles to our faces. Remember the time John John decided to sneak up on his mom for a good scare while she was vacuuming? Little did he know that Auntie Ruth has a degree in the vacuum cleaner weaponry, and beat the crap out of him.
Or that time she thought it was a good idea to nap while Auntie Ellen was cutting her hair? Auntie Ellen just kept jabbering and cutting and cutting and cutting..and cutting…and cutting…. Well when Auntie Ruth woke and looked into the mirror she was lost in "oh oh oh oh my goodness".
Or "Baaaaaaby! Granma's Baaaaaby!" You know that time she went hunting for her cat "baby" all over the neighborhood, finally found it several houses away, scooped it up, carrying it home…only to find HER cat curled up in her house sleeping. Needless to say, the "mistaken identity" cat in her arms was none to pleased being dragged into a stranger's house.
And sadly she too was plagued with the Stebbins affliction of that "occasional trip." Remember her tumbled over the hassock [ottoman] at Grandma's? You know, when she belly flopped right into the kitchen in front of everybody?
My guess is that our Royal Auntie Ruth, on having passed from this world, lost all her elegant composer and did an Olympic 100-meter dash for the Pearly Gates, tripped and belly flopped right into Heaven. Pure joy!
John will miss the mom who is simply proud of him.
Gina will miss the quiet mom-daughter conversations on life and family.
Julie (aka Mouth) will miss those reassuring gentle moments when her mom would simply rock with her.
As much as we are going to miss Aunt Ruth, AND WE ARE GONNA MISS HER, we need to remember where and who she is with. I know she is laughing it up with Auntie Charlotte, Uncle David and Aunt Ann, and Gram and Gramps. I mean, come on, she just belly flopped into heaven!
Now back when I was 10 years old living on East Alvord Street, my mom was on vacation in Puerto Rico, and my dad the fireman was called into work. It was only 6pm, but to me it was the middle of the night. I started to hear spooky noises all over the house, and freaked out. In tears and clutching the phone I called Auntie Ruthie. "I'm all alone!", I cried. Not five minutes had passed when she swooped in, bolted in to the house, and hugged me saying "Christopher, You are never alone! Aunty Ruthie is right here!".
Well Auntie Ruthie, right back at you. You were never alone, and with Jesus you will never be alone again.

Q: What is the range of Symmetra's Sentry Turret? When playing against Symmetra I find myself killed by the turrets quite often, but when I try to use them to control a space myself I always mis-judge and leave them stranded out-of-range, to be easily picked off. They can notify me that a player is in the area, but never do much damage.
What is the range of the Sentry Turrets spawned by Symmetra? Are they only useful as very close-range traps/sensors, or do they have enough range to control a medium-sized space as well?

A: According to the wiki, which seems to be supported on this experiment by Reddit user mctiggs:

Symmetra places a small turret that fires a laser at targets within 10
  meters

The U.S. Is Failing Tenants, And It's About To Get Even Worse
9:56 AM EDT on Jul 5, 2021
For the sake of privacy, no real names have been used in this article.
Nothing could have prepared me to watch an elderly woman get evicted in front of dozens of people over Zoom. I'm a legal aid law clerk working to protect tenants, and that means I've spent the COVID-19 pandemic witnessing the havoc that an eviction can produce firsthand. Although law clerks are still in law school, we're often the first people to interview clients, and part of my job involves attending eviction hearings to screen for people who might be eligible for our help. These hearings are heartbreaking, and seeing them unfold online is a surreal experience.
Courts across the country are reopening, but during the pandemic lockdowns I spent more than a year watching landlords try to evict tenants in virtual hearings. These hearings went on, even with a federal eviction moratorium in place, one that is scheduled to end next month.
I'd estimate that in about a quarter of the hearings I watched, the tenants kept freezing or lagging due to poor internet connections. Tenants without reliable internet access had to go to the courthouse in person and wait to argue their case in front of the court's computer. Every day, poor people who were behind on rent and didn't have internet access had to attend court in-person, during a pandemic, so they could join a Zoom call and potentially be kicked out of their homes. Many of them didn't even have a lawyer to help them through the hearing.
If you've seen an episode of Law & Order then you know that in the United States, every person accused of a crime has the right to an attorney during their criminal case, even if they can't afford one. The key phrase there is criminal case. If you can't afford an attorney for a civil issue, like an eviction, then you're likely on your own. Having a lawyer on your side changes the entire situation and makes everything easier, even if the lawyer is just there to help you navigate our complicated court system. For people who can't afford private attorneys, that's where legal aid organizations can come in and provide free legal service. But we have limited resources and restrictions on our funding, so we can't help everyone who needs it—and there is a lot of need.
As for the landlords, they almost always have lawyers. Every single landlord has had an attorney at the hearings I've attended, and that's about par for the course nationwide in eviction hearings. And the evictions keep coming. One of the first tenants that I interviewed at my last hearing, Mr. Lopez, was a veteran struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and other health issues who couldn't get his landlord to complete basic maintenance in his apartment. Instead of trying to chase down his landlord after making multiple requests for maintenance, Mr. Lopez decided to withhold his rent, a legal remedy available as long as the landlord has been notified of the outstanding issues. Instead of working with Mr. Lopez to make the necessary repairs, as required by law, the landlord instead filed for an eviction almost immediately. Landlords failing to provide repairs is an unfortunately common theme for people who can't afford to fight back, and Mr. Lopez's case is still ongoing.
Another tenant, Ms. Smith, had to attend her hearing in person at the court, and she broke down in tears as she relayed her story. Ms. Smith was fortunate enough to be earning at least some of her usual income, but her landlord still tried to evict her after he abandoned his responsibility to maintain her apartment. Ms. Smith and her children were without heat for months in the middle of winter, and her landlord gave her the run-around every time she requested maintenance. Ms. Smith's pipes were completely clogged, leaving her without running water for months, and she was forced to go to the bathroom in garbage bags and dispose of it when she could. Her children were living part-time with relatives since Ms. Smith wanted to shield them from the severity of the situation—and this is a person who had paid her rent on time, submitted multiple requests for maintenance, and still ended up being the one who got sued.
Or take Ms. Johnson and her children. They moved into their apartment last spring at the dawn of the pandemic. But there were broken electrical outlets everywhere, leaking pipes, rooms that were completely without doors, and no heat. She had asked the landlord to remedy the situation numerous times and to at least provide heat, as required under federal and state law, but all she got was a space heater. After Ms. Johnson made multiple maintenance requests that were ignored, she understandably moved out halfway through the winter. Her landlord immediately sued her for "abandoning" the property. Our office was able to help Ms. Johnson bring a counterclaim against her landlord for failing to provide heat for so long, and her case is slowly moving in the right direction. However, far too many people don't know that they have the legal high ground when their landlord has all but abandoned them.
Every state and city requires landlords to maintain their properties in compliance with all health, safety, and building codes. In other words, landlords have to keep their apartments in clean, habitable condition. If a landlord refuses or fails to keep their properties in compliance—something that happens far too often for low-income and vulnerable people—then tenants actually have the law on their side. For example, Ohio law gives tenants the right to withhold their rent payments and deposit them with the court if a landlord fails to meet their obligations in a reasonable time (usually less than 30 days) after being notified of an issue. If a court finds that the landlord has indeed failed to meet their obligations, then tenants can reduce their rent until those conditions are satisfied or possibly get out of the lease altogether and avoid paying any more rent. Most states also bar landlords from retaliating against their tenants for requesting maintenance or reporting a landlord's wrongful actions to a government agency. This retaliation can take the form of illegally increasing rent or shutting off utilities, and tenants can sue for all damages that they've suffered from the retaliation.
But most people don't know that they have these legal protections, and that's why legal aid is so crucial. Legal aid attorneys and other tenant's rights attorneys know how to deal with absent landlords, and helping a client deposit rent with the court or file a counterclaim for damages immediately levels the playing field. In response, landlords are more open to negotiation and they'll often either make the repairs, or agree to drop their claims in exchange for the tenant moving out. Moving out isn't always ideal for our clients, especially during a pandemic, but sometimes it's the best option and it avoids saddling someone with an eviction on their record.
One of the weirdest cases involved Mr. Gray, a young tenant who didn't understand why he was being evicted, as his rent was paid on time and there were no issues to speak of. I assumed it was another example of a landlord evicting someone for no reason, until the landlord showed up and was a complete stranger to Mr. Gray. Turns out, Mr. Gray had made his most recent rent payment to the now-former landlord of his building and he was never notified about making payments to the new landlord. When this was later explained to the new landlord, it turned out that my initial hunch was partially right, as he didn't care that much about the unpaid rent. He wasn't interested in explanations or negotiations, he just wanted Mr. Gray out of the building, and the law says that is perfectly alright. Meanwhile, Mr. Gray will likely never get his rent money back from his former landlord, and he had to find a new place in the middle of COVID-19.
It might be surprising to hear that evictions were going forward at all during the pandemic, seeing as an eviction moratorium was implemented in March 2020, and has been extended several times since. The moratorium managed to stay in place at the national level, but this type of relief has always evaded poor people in this country. You would think someone being evicted could just tell the judge about their situation and go back home, but the moratorium came with several hoops to jump through for tenants. Tenants seeking relief have to meet all of the qualifications, some of which are fairly subjective, like convincing a judge that they've done everything possible to get all available government rental assistance. Tenants also must prove that they've made their best efforts to pay their landlord, despite their financial position, and they have to show that an eviction would make them homeless or force them to live in "close quarters" with other people.
Because landlords can terminate these leases on a whim, this means untold numbers of people are being evicted during COVID-19 simply because the landlord wants someone else in that unit, and this has happened at each hearing I've attended. No late rent payments, no noise complaints, no damage to the apartment unit, no utilities issues. The landlord just wants them gone for whatever reason, and it gets even more brutal when you realize that most of the people in these hearings are on rental assistance programs, guaranteeing that the landlord receives rent payments each month. It's guaranteed income! But because of the stigma of rental assistance, or because the landlord just wants to bring in tenants who can pay higher rents, something compels certain landlords to kick out poor people as soon as possible, especially when they take over a new building. And all this is about to become much easier to do going forward, because the federal evictions moratorium expires on July 31. In its announcement, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said "this is intended to be the final extension of the moratorium."
The moratorium was only a temporary fix for a long-term problem. There are supposed to be protections in place that prevent landlords from evicting people due to unpaid rent that accumulated during the pandemic, but the fact that landlords have been successfully evicting people this whole time, regardless of their situations, tells you how much that protection is really worth. Some judges are even disregarding the moratorium completely, just because they personally disagree with it, and are instead issuing unlawful evictions on behalf of huge rental companies. Even for those fortunate enough to avoid an eviction, the overdue rent keeps piling up, which can impact a tenant's ability to rent another place in the future. Instead of designating funds to fully subsidize rent payments, or to pay landlords directly, millions of people who have fallen into poverty were provided with Band-Aid solutions. The pandemic and the insurrection and the infinite attempts at overturning the election have only laid bare a system that has never worked for millions of people and has always left them on the margins.
So that's how we ended up in a world where I watched an elderly woman get evicted for literally no reason, and that's perfectly allowed. In most of the country, state law allows landlords to end a month-to-month lease for any reason, or no reason at all, as long as it's not openly discriminatory, which is what happened in her case. From my experience, a disproportionate amount of people with monthly leases are already low-income or otherwise vulnerable, and they often rely on these types of leases precisely because it can be harder to qualify for long-term agreements. While monthly leases might provide some flexibility for tenants, they come with fewer protections when a landlord wants you gone.
I couldn't tell you the worst part of an eviction hearing; it's all bad, but I absolutely can pick out the worst part of the eviction crisis, and the pandemic, and the economic crisis: That's the fact that it didn't have to be like this. This is what happens when a society embraces a system where it's somehow more profitable to have unoccupied luxury apartments than affordable housing for everyone, where homeless people are sleeping in designated parking spaces while nearby hotels sit empty. Where an entire state crumbles under an unprecedented snowstorm because their leaders refused to take the appropriate steps following the last unprecedented snowstorm.
This is what happens when, despite the fact that stimulus payments objectively reduced hardships during the pandemic, politicians negotiate against themselves to make sure fewer people receive future payments instead of wielding their power to help people stay safe and simultaneously stimulate the economy. And of course, some of the biggest landlord companies have seen record-breaking profits during the pandemic while millions of people are about to face eviction hearings once the moratorium ends. It doesn't have to be this way, but millions of us are just going from one disaster to the next. Why should our housing policy be any different?
If you're facing an eviction or another civil legal issue, please contact your local legal aid organization for help. Even if you don't qualify financially, they can hopefully still point you in the right direction, and sometimes that makes all the difference.

How to Choose A Name For Your New Company Or Brand Identity?
The outward visual expression of a company name or a specific brand should including its name, communications, and visual appearance is called brand identity. Company names could be last names, could be names of a business, or it could be a catchphrase or saying or it could be just a made up name, based on the conception of the business.
Some big brands that everyone knows are Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, and Walmart. Some lesser known brands are Kellogg's, Panasonic, Sony, and Lowe's.
Brain Storm. This is not easy as it seems, but take a pen to paper, or open your laptop, open up Dictionary, Thesaurus and Urban Dictionary. Try to think of a word that relates to your business or something that seems catchy. Like if your doing a comedian website, do just your name or stage name, if your starting an ice cream business, then think of any words relating to ice cream, or if its just kids ice cream parlor then think of fun kids words that would attract kids and parents to your ice cream branded business. Here are the top brands of 2013, and you can go back the last 5 years or so as well.
Brand Naming Length. Make sure the name is no more then two or three words put together, for instance Seth Marketing or Miller's Lawnmower Company. Also make sure the name doesn't have two or three variations of spelling, that will confuse consumers in trying to find your website. The shorter the name the better it is, as most companies are trying to shorten their name to make it appeal to the younger generations. Like Citibank is Citi, Kentucky Fried Chicken is now KFC.
Creative Branding. Most names are just invented on the fly, like JetBlue, Compaq. Or IKEA brand name a series of acronyms, founded in Sweden in 1943 by 17-year-old Ingvar Kamprad, the company's name is an acronym comprising the initials of Ingvar Kamprad, Elmtaryd (the farm where he grew up) and Agunnaryd (his hometown in Småland, South Sweden), pretty cool if you ask me.
Domain Name. To check to see if your business name is available online I would use, Instant Domain Search, and use the encrypted version, where it doesn't track your entries and searches. If its available then buy it immediately, if you dont want it you can always call GoDaddy.com to release the domain name back and get a refund for another domain name of your choosing.
Social Media Username. So once you find a name for a website, now type in the name next to a Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin URL. For instance if your company name is Seth Marketing, type in www.facebook.com/sethmarketing and see if its available or some has taken it, if its not taken then create a page for a business and get that username, same for the rest of the social media websites.
Trademark Search. Nothing worst then thinking of the brand name, have it up in running, and then you get served legal papers for having the same name as someone else, within the same field. Go to the United States Patent and Trademark website and do a trademark search, to make sure your in the clear, and it if you are clear, and if your savvy enough, register your business name for a trademark or get a trademark lawyer to do it.
If all else fails in thinking of a company name or brand identity, then take some time off to not cloud your mind with pressure and then come back to thinking of a name that you personal identifies with yourself and your brand. Being creative is like an on/off switch anyone will tell you that either your in the creative mind-frame or your cold and cannot muster something up, but any great idea name, idea or brand takes time and patience. Always think long term for a brand or business, never short term.


FASN Antibody | Bethyl Laboratories, Inc.
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a multifunctional protein that is mainly involved in catalyzing the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids. FASN has recently been viewed as an important protein involved in carcinogenesis as it has been found to be constitutively active in subsets of carcinomas and is associated with a poor prognosis. The inhibition of FASN activity in cancer cells promotes apoptosis and thus may play a role in maintaining cancer cell survival.

I keep skunks and racoons out of my barn by playing a radio. They really do not like it and the funny thing is that if the electricity goes off and the radio does not play they always ALWAYS come in.

Facebook Quietly Reveals Extent Of Data Breach
Posted on 5 April, 2018, 05:52 pm EDT April 5, 2018 by Ian Courtney Contact Me
MENLO PARK, CA (CelebrityAccess) — As Facebook's privacy concerns deepen amid a growing list of revelations about the company's apparent careless disregard for the personal data of its users, the company dropped a bomb on Wednesday, that it believes most of its user's data has been compromised.
In a post on Facebook's blog on Wednesday, chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer detailed how the company believes malicious actors have scraped the data of the lion's share of the site's users by searching with their phone numbers.
"Until today, people could enter another person's phone number or email address into Facebook search to help find them," Schroepfer wrote in the blog post on Wednesday, "This has been especially useful for finding your friends in languages which take more effort to type out a full name, or where many people have the same name. In Bangladesh, for example, this feature makes up 7% of all searches.
"However, malicious actors have also abused these features to scrape public profile information by submitting phone numbers or email addresses they already have through search and account recovery. Given the scale and sophistication of the activity we've seen, we believe most people on Facebook could have had their public profile scraped in this way. [emphasis added] So we have now disabled this feature. We're also making changes to account recovery to reduce the risk of scraping as well," Schroepfer added.
While the importance of this security flaw might not seem immediately apparent, as Gizmodo's Rhett Jones noted, it provided a major tool for data criminals to purchase lists of phone numbers on the dark web and quickly attach names and other personal information to develop detailed user profiles.
These profiles could then be instrumental in identity theft or designing attacks to compromise accounts on other platforms for an identified user.
The startling revelation comes amidst a flurry of other disclosures by the social media giant, which, as Gizmodo pointed out looks like a 'flood the zone' strategy, designed to lessen the impact of any one revelation.

Almost all of our sandpipers migrate in flocks and nest on the ground, but the Solitary Sandpiper breaks both rules. In migration, as its name implies, it is usually encountered alone, along the bank of some shady creek. If approached, it bobs nervously, then flies away with sharp whistled cries. In summer in the northern spruce bogs, rather than nesting on the wet ground, the Solitary Sandpiper lays its eggs in old songbird nests placed high in trees.
Population very difficult to census, because birds are so dispersed at all seasons, but no obvious decline in numbers.
Streamsides, wooded swamps and ponds, fresh marshes. In migration generally along shaded streams and ponds, riverbanks, narrow channels in marshes. Sometimes along the edges of open mudflats, but generally avoids tidal flats and salt marsh. Nests in muskeg region, with bogs and ponds surrounded by forest of spruce and other trees.
Mostly forages in shallow water, moving about actively, picking items from surface; also probes in water and mud. While walking in water, may pause and quiver one foot, presumably to stir up small creatures from the bottom.
4, rarely 5. Olive to buff, marked with brown. Incubation details poorly known, may be by both parents, roughly 23-24 days. Young: Development and behavior of young poorly known. Since parents are not known to feed young, apparently the chicks must jump to the ground; probably tended there by one or both parents. Age of young at first flight not known.
Development and behavior of young poorly known. Since parents are not known to feed young, apparently the chicks must jump to the ground; probably tended there by one or both parents. Age of young at first flight not known.
Insects and other small aquatic creatures. Feeds on many insects of water and shore, including beetles, dragonfly nymphs, grasshoppers; also crustaceans, spiders, worms, mollusks, occasionally small frogs.
Breeding behavior not well known. In breeding season, male gives repeated call while perching on tops of trees, or while performing display flight over nesting territory. Nest: Uses nests built by songbirds such as American Robin, Rusty Blackbird, Bohemian Waxwing, Eastern Kingbird, Gray Jay. Nest chosen is usually in spruce or other conifer, sometimes in deciduous tree, 4-40' above ground. Sandpipers may sometimes take over a freshly-built nest. Female may add lining material to original nest.
A long-distance migrant, wintering mostly in South America, especially around swamps and riverbanks in the Amazon Basin. Apparently migrates mostly alone and at night.
A high-pitched peet-weet or peet-weet-weet, more shrill than call of Spotted Sandpiper.


Yeah yeah, call me a b*tch, but I drew this, for Lizzette, which she will use as a fan sign for kid who claims to be "Transcendent". I didn't do it for him, I did it for Lizz. Sorry it came out trashy, my work comes out the way I feel. Call me a toy, idgaf. This was a quick one, no effort. I didn't even try on this p.o.s. Whackness.


Projected for 7.2 FanDuel pts Tanner Pearson is the #133 ranked wing. He is the #65 highest priced wing ($4700). At his projected points, he is worth a salary of $3.5K (expected pts per $ is calculated daily based on the average of healthy starters). There are 4 other options at $4700 (Alex Galchenyuk, Bobby Ryan, Jonathan Drouin, Yanni Gourde) and Pearson is ranked #5 among the 5. Instead of Pearson consider these better options at lower salaries: Carl Hagelin (7.3 FP), Patrick Maroon (7.8 FP), Anthony Duclair (8.3 FP), Brett Connolly (9.1 FP), and Micheal Ferland (11.9 FP). Based on salary, he is expected to have 9.7 FPs, a value reached in 19 of 78 games (24%). The combined 'cover percentage' for wings priced at $4.0K and above is 41%.
DRAFTKINGS VALUE: Pearson is overrated on DraftKings with a projected 2 DK pts (#63 among left wings). At $3100 he is expected to be the #58 left wing. Based on the projection, Pearson is worth $3.2K. There are 2 other options at $3100 (Bryan Little, Colton Sissons) and Pearson is ranked #3 among the 3. These are 5 better options at lower salaries: Carl Hagelin (2.1 FP), Patrick Maroon (2.1 FP), Brian Boyle (2.3 FP), Adam Johnson (2.4 FP), and Jesperi Kotkaniemi (2.1 FP). He is projected for more points than 2 higher priced options: Zachary Sanford (2 FP) and Andreas Johnsson (1.3 FP). Based on salary, he is expected to have 2 FPs, a value reached in 29 of 78 games (37%). The combined 'cover percentage' for left wing priced at $4.0K and above is 40%.
Pearson is NOT in the SportsLine DraftKings optimal lineup or the FanDuel optimal lineup which are based on the computer model's projection. SportsLine.com also offers premium optimal lineups from Mike McClure, a professional DFS player who has over $1 million in career winnings. He uses his own proprietary model to find great DFS values and often differs from the computer in how a player is projected to play on a daily basis.
He is the #479 ranked fantasy skater this season and the #181 wing. His wing ranking drops to #237 when basing it on average fantasy points. He steadily increased his fantasy average as the season went on. He averaged 0.2 FPs in his first 25 games, 0.8 fantasy points in his next 25 and 1.2 FP after that. Using standard deviation as an indicator of consistency, Pearson is relatively inconsistent capable of very high highs and equally low lows. He averaged 0.7 FPs, but on any given day his projected ceiling is as high as 10 fantasy points.
He is getting less productive when, based on age, he should be reaching his peak. His three season trend shows a 53% decline in fantasy points per game.
Out of 26 fantasy weeks, he was +20% above his weekly average of 2.2 FPs in 13 of them. He had 13 bad weeks where he was 20% below average.
His FanDuel average was 7.2 points and on DraftKings it was 2 per game. We looked at all of his games that were between the 10th and 90th percentile where the 10th percentile is his floor and the 90th is his ceiling. When he was bad in DFS, he was really bad with a floor of zero points. He had a relatively high ceiling. On Draftkings it was 5 and on FanDuel it was 18.4 FPs. He has had more bad FanDuel games (below average by 20%) than good games (20% above average), and the same was true on DraftKings. We are only including games where they were in the daily fantasy slate and played.

What better way to kick off the 2017 rogaining year than by entering the "LaneCoveRivergaine3" on Saturday 25 February 2017 (start @ 10am). This 6 Hour Metrogaine completes the trilogy of LaneCoveRivergaines - 1 & 2 were held in February 2015 & 2016.
In 2015 we started from the source of the Lane Cove River in Pennant Hills and travelled south to De Burghs Bridge at West Pymble. In 2016 we continued the journey down the river from De Burghs Bridge to Stringybark Creek in Lane Cove.
And in 2017 we complete the journey from Stringybark Creek to Fig Tree Bridge and Sydney Harbour.
STEP is a community-based environmental organisation with over 400 members from Ku-ring-gai, Hornsby and surrounding suburbs of northern Sydney. Its primary aim is to preserve all natural bushland within the area from alienation and degradation.
If you want to read up about the Lane Cove River Catchment get a copy of the "Field Guide to the Bushland of the Lane Cove Valley" and a copy of the Lane Cove Valley map, on which the rogaine has been based – the map has recently been updated. Both documents are available from www.step.org.au.
The Hash House (start & finish) will be at Blackman Park, Lane Cove West.
