Daughter of Dubtach, pagan Scottish king of Leinster, and Brocca, a Christian Pictish slave who had been baptized by Saint Patrick. Just before Brigid's birth, her mother was sold to a Druid landowner. Brigid remained with her mother till she was old enough to serve her legal owner Dubtach, her father.
She grew up marked by her high spirits and tender heart, and as a child, she heard Saint Patrick preach, which she never forgot. She could not bear to see anyone hungry or cold, and to help them, often gave away things that were Dubtach's. When Dubtach protested, she replied that "Christ dwelt in every creature". Dubtach tried to sell her to the King of Leinster, and while they bargained, she gave a treasured sword of her father's to a leper. Dubtach was about to strike her when Brigid explained she had given the sword to God through the leper, because of its great value. The King, a Christian, forbade Dubtach to strike her, saying "Her merit before God is greater than ours". Dubtach solved this domestic problem by giving Brigid her freedom.
Brigid returned to her father, who arranged a marriage for her with a young bard. Bride refused, and to keep her virginity, went to her Bishop, Saint Mel of Ardagh, and took her first vows. Legend says that she prayed that her beauty be taken from her so no one would seek her hand in marriage; her prayer was granted, and she regained her beauty only after making her vows. Another tale says that when Saint Patrick heard her final vows, he mistakenly used the form for ordaining priests. When told of it he replied, "So be it, my son, she is destined for great things."

Reginald was moved by Dominic's preaching, fascinated by some of his ideas, and the two became close friends. Following a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary presenting him in a Dominican habit, and his miraculous cure from the vision, Reginald joined the Dominicans, receiving the habit from Saint Dominic. The two travelled to Bologna, Italy where Reginald impressed many with his preaching, and served as Dominican prior in the area when Dominic travelled on.

Parkinson's: Innovative approach prevents the building up of toxic proteins
Chukwuebuka MartinsLast Updated: February 10, 2020
Instead of attacking the elusive protein causing Parkinson's, the RNA being formed is targeted by a new compound.
New research finds a way to block the toxic accumulation of a protein in Parkinson's disease which causes neurons to degenerate.
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremor, slowness of motion, stiffness of the limbs, and problems with walking and balance.
A misfolded protein called α-synuclein in Parkinson's causes brain cells to degenerate and kill. The more α-synuclein accumulates, the more neurons die.
Now researchers at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, and Scripps Research in Jupiter, Florida, have developed a way to reduce the amount of α-synuclein that the body produces.
New technology helped scientists to identify a compound that would shut down messenger RNA (mRNA) coding for the destructive protein, preventing α-synuclein development and Parkinson's progression.
The study funded by the NIH researchers appears in National Academy of Sciences Proceedings.
The need for an innovative solution
More than 10 million people worldwide are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, with 1 million of them in the United States, according to the Parkinson's Foundation.
About 60,000 US adults are diagnosed with the disease each year.
Parkinson's incidence increases with age, though about 4 percent of people diagnosed are under 50 years old. The males are 1.5 times more likely than women to develop Parkinson's.
"There is no cure for Parkinson's disease at present and it is really a debilitating disease," says professor of neurology M. Rutgers Maral Mouradian Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Center for Neurological Therapeutics, and a study co-author.
Numerous other methods have tried to address the development and accumulation of α-synuclein, but since the protein does not have a normal structure and constantly changes its form, it has proved difficult to strike with drugs.
"Several other experimental drugs," says Mouradian, "currently being developed for Parkinson's disease are antibodies targeting a very late stage of α-synuclein protein aggregates."
"We want to prevent these protein clumps from forming first, until they cause damage and contribute to disease progression."
Synucleozid
The new research began when Mouradian reached out to chemistry professor Matthew D. Disney of Scripps to investigate the potential for a new technology that Disney had developed to bind small-molecules or drug-like compounds to RNA structures.
The scientists had a hunch to find a match for the mRNA that coded for α-synuclein, and that the mRNA may give a more stable, reliable target than α-synuclein itself. The hunch did pay off.
"We first discovered a drug-like compound that has the potential to slow down the disease before it progresses through a completely new approach," Mouradian says.
They have called their compound synucleozide, and Mouradian describes it as "highly promising."
While synucleozide may be most beneficial in people with minimal symptoms and at the early stages of Parkinson's, Mouradian says. "This new compound has the potential to[…] change the course of life for people with this devastating disease."
Synucleozide may be of concern beyond Parkinson's as α-synuclein has dementia symptoms with Lewy bodies, another progressive disease affecting one million people in the United States alone.
The analysis also sheds light on Disney's promise of RNA / protein matching technology. As Mouradian notes, "Our study's scope could go beyond people with Parkinson's disease into many other neurodegenerative diseases."
"It's a classic example of how interdisciplinary work contributes to significant change."

Modern furniture brings comfort and style into our interior decoration. There are numerous interior designs out there that you can choose for your home to make it the best and most satisfying. Our homes should be beautiful and comfortable to live in. It is important to look for an interior designer who will help us with the interior d?cor. One of the main features of our homes that really contribute to how our houses look is the furniture. The chairs speak volumes about our homes. Hence, it is important for us to step out of our comfort zone and make sure we have the best selection of our chairs, stools, sofas, and even our dining table chairs. The following are things you should consider while choosing furniture at www.vertigo-interiors.com for your home.
Comfort. Your chairs should provide comfort to the one using them. Comfort is an important aspect of selecting your chairs. People using them such as children should be comfortable while sitting on them. If you are looking for your office chairs, you should put into consideration the comfort for increased comfortability.
The features of the furniture. You should consider purchasing chairs that blend harmoniously with your interior decoration. Choose the ones that complement one another and present a bold look and style. Choose natural fabrics that add a natural feel to your living room. They should be easy to clean in order to make sure that they are always clean. Choose one that is strong enough to serve its intended purpose especially with kids or pets around. If you are looking for your office chairs, choose those that are flexible and light in nature.
The cost of the furniture. Different chairs at www.vertigo-interiors.com have different prices and costs for them. Look out for different designs and their prices. Choose one that is cost friendly and has all the features that you need. It is important for you to come up with a budget before purchasing them. You can also involve an interior design expert who will help negotiate on your behalf. Then, you can narrow down your options to the one that suits you best.
The space. Your space is a very important aspect to consider before purchasing your chairs. Determine your space. This will help you in knowing what type of furniture design to buy. Buying furniture blindly without determining your space can lead you to buy too big, too small, and undesirable designs for your furniture. This poses a problem even in the arrangement and messes up with your style.

At the regular Board meeting, February 14, 2002, the Board approved a five-year contract with First Student, Inc. on the recommendation of Crikette Lovejoy and Alice Ericksen. The Board did not get bids from any other transportation companies. The cost of this transportation contract represents over 10% of the Molalla River School District Budget.
When queried how much the shortfall in the Molalla River School District budget would be "if there was NO reduction in State Funding", Alice Ericksen said it would be $620,000.00. The Board concurred that their goal was to maintain class sizes, preserve the current level of electives; and maintain existing extra-curricular activities.
Yes, the District is facing some major budget shortfalls for the 2002-2003 school year. According to the OSBA's "Outlook & Review" (January 9, 2002), "K-12 could face $304 million cut" which means that "Districts would lose about $465 per student". According to the March 2001 estimate of the District extended ADMw for 2001-2002 we would've received $3,417.20 per student (subject to Federal and Statutory adjustments). If the extended ADMw for 2002-2003 was about the same as for the 2001-2002 school year that would translate into approximately a 13.6% reduction in revenues from the state. The state contribution, however, has averaged about 69% of the total budget for years between 1994 and 2002. OSBA also suggests that "Until Oregonians seriously consider changing the way the state finances public schools and the state's essential government services, we will continue to face shortfalls." In fact, they say that "Projections tell us that at the next legislative session in 2003 we will face a $1 billion shortfall."
"The latest 'official' estimate for next year's revenue for our district, is about $500,000 less than this year. We have also recently learned that the School Improvement Fund will not be available for next year. For us, that's another $500,000. Add to that the approximate $500,000 shortfall in our cash carry-over from the fall and the approximate $970,000 that salary increases will cost if all current staff remain...". So what does all this mean?
The District is currently conducting meetings of parents and staff at each of the District's eight facilities. The contributions of the participants at these meetings will be considered by the site councils and staff at each of these facilities to develop their budget proposals. These proposals will then be submitted to the District Budget Committee, and subsequently to the Board of Directors. In the MRSD's monthly bulletin there were three possible areas suggested that the community should consider as possible budget priorities: Elective Classes (art, music, PE, etc); Lower class sizes; and Extra-curricular activities for Middle and High School (sports, clubs, etc.). If you have any suggestions for budget cuts or recommendations for priorities, PLEASE submit your suggestion over this website, the District Office (http://www.molallariv.k12.or.us/staff.html), or one of the community meetings.


tox is a Python library designed to "standardize testing in Python" – including testing a given project across Python versions (so you could use it to create a library for both Python2 and Python3, and test in both environments.) I'm working on such a library right now; I am using two shells, two directory trees, two virtual environments… which is a pain. tox looks like a library to help me get around that.
JUCE is a library designed to help delivery music … applications. It has the ability to generate UIs, VSTs, AAX plugins using C++. One of the things I keep thinking I want (although I'm not sure I actually do) is a Euclidean beat generator; I also wouldn't mind doing a cellular automaton to generate music, so JUCE looks interesting. I haven't done C++ for real since my Alcyone project (my MIDI foot controller hardware) so I might have to approach this slowly.
I like this format of data capture more than I enjoy sites like Twitter. Sure, Twitter's probably fine for simple assertions, but I don't like simple assertions; there's no room for nuance, and in the real world, there's… nuance. So far, this allows me to make an assertion and explain it without worrying about incomplete, piecemeal consumption. I just have to build the habit, and work on classification.
Since I mentioned it earlier: Euclidean beats are apparently found in real world musical forms, and that's kinda awesome… but every time I've played with them, I don't care for the output much. Euclidean beats tend to be regular (therefore, well, Euclidean) and my own percussion approach, when I focus on it, tends to focus on the unexpected hits rather than regularly timed hits. Euclidean beats spread out hits over known periods; I cluster hits inside those known periods instead. Which approach is better? Well, you can find famous percussion virtuosos who use Euclidean approaches, and I'm neither famous nor a percussion virtuoso. Hmm.
Wildwood Guitars has amazing prices on Rickenbacker guitars, and from what I've been able to tell from asking Rickenbacker players and from community reviews, they're quite well respected. And yes, they carry the basses – and have used equipment as well.
While I'm thinking about Rickenbacker basses – which happens a lot more than I expect it should, really – there are two main products, the 4003 and the 4003S. The 4003 differs in the fretboard inlays (the 4003 has a sharktooth inlay, the 4003S has a dot) and the 4003 has two outputs ("Ric-O-Sound", where each pickup has its own output jack) and the 4003S has only a single mono output. The 4003 also has a bound body and the 4003S is unbound; apparently some people find the unbound body more comfortable. I have not done this comparison myself… but if I were to figure out my ideal Rickenbacker bass, it'd be a Midnight Blue 4003, although the others are pretty too. I do not have a Rickenbacker bass, nor is that likely to change, as I'm not a working musician and I don't need another bass to replace my Jazz… I'd just like a Rickenbacker just because.
I find it extraordinarily difficult to trust Donald Trump. His wife shouldn't trust him, and his ex-wives clearly shouldn't have trusted him either; why should I trust him, when the people to whom he owes trustworthiness most can't rely on him? And he employs "the best people"… and doesn't trust their expertise when it suits him to counter their opinions. Yeesh. We elected this guy. I hope we deserve better.

Clifton's Corner :: Volume 18 – James Hunter / The Strypes
(Volume 18 of Clifton's Corner. Every other week on the blog Clifton Weaver, aka DJ Soft Touch, shares some of his favorite spins, old and new, in the worlds of soul, r&b, funk, psych and beyond.)
It's been a while since the last Clifton's Corner post. I'm truly sorry for the long wait but as Dr. Winston O'Boogie once said, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans". Even though I've been distracted from writing, I have been keeping up on music and have a couple of things I've been dying to share.
The first is some new music by an old favorite of mine, James Hunter. I was first introduced to his music around the time People Gonna Talk was released. I was blown away by his vocals and arrangements and immediately purchased the album. In a previous Clifton's Corner, I mentioned the renewed interest in late 50s/early 60s r&b sounds and James Hunter's People Gonna Talk was one of the first times I'd heard a current act that really had a handle on that sound. As a massive fan of Daptone, I was overjoyed to hear that Hunter's latest release, Minute By Minute, was recorded at Gabe Roth's Daptone studios. "Chicken Switch" is a sample of what can be expected when the album is released on the 26th of February. Here are two from the People Gonna Talk record that initially blew me away and cemented my fandom.
MP3: James Hunter :: No Smoke Without Fire
MP3: James Hunter :: Don't Come Back
If you haven't heard of The Strypes yet, you're in luck. One of the most exciting bands I've heard in years, The Strypes are heavily influenced by the vintage r&b of the 50s & 60s but amp up the volume and energy levels. Hearing the Strypes for the first time was like listening to the rebirth of the Yardbirds or early Stones. Amazing musicians with an equally impressive look, these kids (Yes, kids — the average age of the members is 16) quickly garnered attention from the press in the UK and can count Jeff Beck and Paul Weller among their fans. Recently, they signed a multi album deal with Mercury and are working on original material. Despite all of the accolades, they have received little attention here in the states. Here are a couple from their debut EP (Young, Gifted, and Blue) released on Heavy Soul Records. Though they are covers, the energy and spirit, reminiscent of early 60s British r&b groups, is undeniable.

Have you ever argued with someone who thinks that their point of view is the only right point? Such people don't even try to consider the arguments and evidence from the opposite side, that's what makes such conversations frustrating. There are many complex issues, where it's not easy to make a choice. Our world is not black-and-white, and if you want to make a point, you should also consider the opposite point. Fortunately, writing classes teach students analytical thinking, and pros and cons essays are the best exercises. When writing such essays, you should consider both sides of an issue, and tips from specialists at College-Writers.Com will help you with it.
To write a decent pros and cons essay, you should perfectly understand what it is. This type of writing assignments is exactly what it sounds like: it's an argumentative essay that requires you to consider both positive and negative aspects of a subject.
Perhaps, the most difficult thing about this type of writing is that you cannot just write a list of pros and cons. Instead, you should synthesize the facts that you have, picking a side and clearly stating your own point. However, your essay shouldn't be all about supporting your point. It should provide arguments, and your opinion must be just your personal conclusion that you came to after analyzing all the arguments.
First, you should choose a debatable topic. It means that you must be able to provide a balanced number of both negatives and positives. For example, genocide is not debatable because you cannot say anything good about it, and charity is also not debatable because there's nothing bad you can say about it.
Another important thing to consider is that both pros and cons should be given equal weight in your essay. You should carefully analyze both sides of the argument. When you read a good pros and cons essay, you cannot understand what is the author's opinion until you see the thesis statement at the end. Now let's take a closer look at the writing process itself.
The writing process is somewhat similar to that of any argumentative essay because it includes researching, writing an outline, writing a draft, and proofreading. However, the pros and cons essays also have their own specific features.
If you've got your topic assigned by your instructor, or if you've chosen a good debatable topic, start researching it. Make sure to look for credible sources and avoid being biased. You must be open-minded about your subject, even if you have a certain opinion. Don't let your opinion affect your research.
While researching, divide the information into two categories: pros, and cons. At this point, you don't need to write an outline, just make a list of positive and negative aspects that will serve as the basis for your outline.
The introduction should start with a strong hook — the very first sentence that should motivate your readers to keep reading your essay. The thesis statement must provide your opinion on the subject. However, when writing pros and cons essays, you may also present your thesis statement in the conclusion. If you include your thesis statement in the introduction, it may provide a general understanding of what the body paragraphs will be about.
Once you've written the thesis statement and the outline, it won't be a problem for you to write the body paragraphs. Just elaborate on the points from your outline and add more details. Every body paragraph should only focus on one point but all the paragraphs should be related to the thesis statement.
The conclusion has two main purposes. First, it should summarize the whole essay. Secondly, it should leave your readers with something to think about. It may also reveal your opinion by presenting the thesis statement if you haven't stated it in the introduction.
As you can see, writing a pros and cons essay is not a difficult task. If you're still not sure that you can write a good essay, we suggest that you ask experts from College-Writers.com for help. Our professional writers know everything about writing assignments of any kind, and they will provide you with outstanding papers on any topic.

I really don't understand the brightness value. 200 acts the exact same as 500 but 40 isn't very bright. Is there some system or scale? I really don't understand it. And recompiling just to see whether you guessed right on the value this time is extremely tedious.
DemonDog-legacy (DemonDog) August 1, 2009, 2:51am #2
On lights, right? Well, 200 is max light(ness), so anything above that will be the same as 200.
40, of course, would be dim as fuck.
100 would be half as bright as 200. etc
Lord_Ned-legacy (Lord Ned) August 1, 2009, 3:09am #3
200 is not max…
Jimmy422-legacy (Jimmy422) August 1, 2009, 3:51am #4
For me even 40 is as bright as 200. I hate the light system, it's so fucked up.

in the l4d sdk it does tho
Northern_Petrol-legacy (Northern Petrol) August 1, 2009, 4:49am #7
I think there is maximum lightness to a surface, but the larger the brightness, the farther it can reach.
Well I tried compiling a small test map with a light with a brightness of 200 and one with a brightness of 500 and it looked exactly the same.
Lord Ned:
Not as max as you can set it, but for what it looks like
Lord_Ned-legacy (Lord Ned) August 1, 2009, 6:29am #10
Really. Put a 2k brightness light in then a 200.
Pj_The_Dj-legacy (Pj The Dj) August 1, 2009, 6:48am #11
It really depends how close the light is to a surface. In a simple sense, a lightmap can only have 255 levels of light, so if it is already completely white, you can't make it brighter no matter what. Lightmaps are an easily broken illusion.
Slightly relevant; this is why we should all use HDR.
HiddenMyst-legacy (HiddenMyst) August 1, 2009, 12:01pm #12
You need to remember that it's all an equation. It will only be 200 a the very center of the light unless you remove falloff.
In algebra, a quadratic function, a quadratic polynomial, a polynomial of degree 2, or simply a quadratic, is a polynomial function with one or more variables in which the highest-degree term is of the second degree. For example, a univariate (single-variable) quadratic function has the form in the single variable x. The graph of a univariate quadratic function is a parabola whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis, as shown at right. If the quadratic function is set equal to zero, the...

Explains the equation for falloff if you don't set the 100% and 50% falloff values.
metallics:
I hate using the 100 and 50 percent values anyway. I much prefer some crude equation work to use my wasted education.

Why E3 2015 Will Be The Best We've Seen In Years
ThisGenGaming March 26, 2015 3 Comments	14 views	0 likes News
We're only 3 months away from E3; the most iconic video game convention ever conceived and that will proceed to blow our minds sky high with behind the scenes previews of upcoming games and amazing reveals that will leave us talking for weeks to come! In preparation for the impending electronic entertainment expo, it's time for ThisGenGaming to line-up all the video game industry's heavy hitters and give a rundown on why this will be the best E3 for this next generation of gaming!
With a surprising announcement earlier this year, Bethesda has decided to host their very own E3 press conference! This means either they have discovered a way of synthesizing gold or they're going to reveal Fallout 4, Dishonored 2 and new IP all together! Regardless of which amazing video games are shown, everybody wins as the announced games will most likely be multi-platform and have some sort of online multiplayer element not commonly seen in Bethesda's traditional single-player titles. Of course, Bethesda has also shown that it can adapt this year in order to reach a larger gaming audience. With the release of Elder Scrolls Online for the PS4 & Xbox One on June 9th, Scrolls fans will see Bethesda's only online game switch to a free-to-play model which was a good call on their part and helps bring in new and old console gamers alike into the fold.
As the marketing campaign for the Xbox One ramps up this year, Microsoft will be heavily promoting on their ability to grow a larger amount of console exclusives they can bring to the table. Ori and The Blind Forest has proven that Microsoft can still create beautiful games to the Xbox One that both excite and entertain their dedicated fan base. Some of the highly-anticipated exclusive games in Microsoft Studios arsenal include Halo 5: Guardians, Crackdown 3 and Scalebound. While these established games are welcome news, will we also see an announcement along the lines of a new Gears of War game or a new IP from Black Tusk studios? They have recently denied the rumor that they were creating a Marcus Fenix HD collection port for the Xbox One. I'm sure Xbox fans would be happy to see that happen but also get their hands on something new alltogether.
It no surprise that EA has been having a few semi-rough years when it comes to their video games performing after hitting the market. No longer is that the case after the relatively positive public reviews to their recently released Battlefield: Hardline, a cops and robbers take on their ever popular Battlefield series. Chief among the games that EA plans to roll the year is the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront that will be tied with the release of the new Star wars movie, releasing this December. Another excellent game franchise that we're dying to get our hands on again this year is Mass Effect 4. EA hasn't exactly been subtle when hinting about this follow up to one of the most popular sci-fi RPG dramas of all time. We would love to see something concrete like a cinematic announcement trailer instead of just concept art or vague story ideas. When June comes around, we will be keeping a hopeful yet close eye on what EA has to offer for the rest of the calendar year!
We've seen a resurgence of great games coming from Ubisoft last year such as Far Cry 4, Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed Unity. Ubisoft is likely to keep stride, even though each game had minor release problems that turned off a lot of newcomers and Ubisoft veterans alike. With that in mind, Ubisoft looks like they have learned their lesson and given 2015 games like Assassin's Creed Victory, Rainbow Six: Seige and The Division more development time to make each game shine brightly. There is also a distinct possibility that we will see several back-burner IPs emerge from out of the blue or fingers crossed, a sequel to the critically acclaimed WWI side scroller, Valiant Hearts.
Sony has always been one of the industry's juggernauts when it comes to creating exciting new games for their Playstation consoles but with Uncharted 4 put on hold until 2016, will they have enough exclusives to entice holiday shoppers? We know for sure that Persona 5 and Gran Turismo 7 are in the works and will receive a release date this E3. There are also a loy of rumors swirling around about a entirely new God of War or an HD remake of the main trilogy. Also Quantic Dream, developer of Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain have announced that they have a new IP peaking over the horizon, most likely to be shown at this year's E3.
Our friends across the Pacific ocean, other wise known as Nintendo have been making a lot of big corporate moves even before the month of E3. One news story that everbody will be looking for at E3 is Nintendo's partnership with DeNA bearing fruit in the form o Nintendo licensed games for mobile devices. Traditionally for the past couple of years, Nintendo has created a per-recorded company announcement called "Nintendo Direct" that airs during the expo and gives Nintendo a chance to focus strictly on the juicy details that fans want hear like news on their mysterious "NX" system. It still might be early in development but Nintendo could officially announce details on the "NX" which reportedly will change video gaming life. While preparing for future en devours, Nintendo will also continue to focus on the Wii U and show off the full capabilities of this under-rated system with first hand looks at the upcoming Starfox game and more gameplay footage from the new The Legend Of Zelda!
Finally, let's not forget that 3rd party games are coming back with a vengeance in 2015, which has fans clamoring for whichever console 3rd party developers pledge their allegiance to. Video games like No Mans Sky, The Witness, Planetside 2 and many other games slated for this year can determine the fate of the video game industry as a whole. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo have already realized this and have gone to great lengths to tempt these small studios by offering larger audiences, easier development cycles and extensive technical/network support. If this past GDC was any measurement of where the industry is going, the big leaders of the industry are looking for talent and the next "Minecraft" to help make their systems more valuable in the consumer eye.
Overall, it's still a very close contest for who will be the top dog for the 2015 E3 and if we can learn anything from last year's expo is that any ground-breaking feature or exclusive game can make or break a company's winning streak in the public eye! Publishers are learning that video game fans are more tech savvy than ever before and have the power of social media to help troubleshoot with developers directly. This Pre-E3 news already has succeeded in getting everybody here at ThisGenGaming chomping at the bit to see the future of gaming that will be revealed in Los Angeles this June!

A new God of War isn't just a rumor, Cory Barlog outright confirmed it at PSX last year. Worldwide Studios have tried to ignore that he got frustrated and spilled the beans that it's in the works.
Guerrilla Game's new IP has been rumored to be an open world RPG, with mechanical dinosaurs and it's also rumored to be officially announced at E3 this year.
Overall this E3 should be pretty awesome!

Renting with a pet can have its challenges no matter where you live, but finding the right community can be incredibly rewarding. The Arbors at Breckinridge Apartment Homes knows your four-footed companions are happiest right by your side and that's why we allow up to two pets per household.
The Arbors has plenty of outdoor space including a convenient off-leash dog park. Our community is also purr-fectly located next to a beautiful forest setting and nearby parks and nature trails. See for yourself!
Here at The Arbors, our community loves pets, nonetheless we ask that our furry friends are kept on a leash at all times when not at the dog park. We take pride in our property and are delighted to know our residents clean up after their pets. We encourage all pet owners to carry a supply of bags and use the provided stations to dispose of waste.


I don't think I've ever tasted a wine more recently bottled than the 2014 Pingus, which was bottled in the morning and I tasted it that very same evening! Peter Sisseck compares this to the 1995, the first vintage ever produced, when he learned that when you have such perfect grapes, you should do very little to the wine. He's been trying to replicate that first vintage, but there's nothing you can do to force it, as it has to be the natural conditions of the vintage that bring those grapes. What he also learned with the 1995 was that with wines like that, you need a long and slow aging in oak; so for the 2014, he decided to do a little longer élevage—three winters in barrel—but in 100% used barrels, something he started in 2012. If it would have been new oak, as in the past, it would have been impossible to have such extended aging without marking the wine too much and possibly forever. The wine was quite tannic to start with, but it was racked every six months, and in that way they have managed to tame those tannins without getting the wine tired, as the aging itself was quite reductive. The nose is quite harmonious and open, but maybe not very expressive, a normal thing considering the extremely short bottle age it had (hours!), but it should gain precision in bottle. In instances like this, you have to guide yourself by the palate. And it's precisely on the palate where you find that texture that is almost unique to Ribera del Duero when it's as perfect as this. It's very different from other zones, a velvety mouthfeel and a surrounding sensation of comfort, incredibly long. The tannins are ultra fine and with that subtle chalkiness of the limestone soils, which also added to the tastiness and the supple aftertaste. In short, I cannot think of a way of improving this Pingus other, than getting a magnum instead of a regular bottle! Congratulations, Peter Sisseck! 4,800 bottles were filled on January 16th of 2017, a slightly shorter production than the average, because part of the vines were hit by hail and didn't make it into the final blend. Now stay tuned for 2015 and 2016.
Peter Sisseck has done it again! He's crafted an otherworldly Pingus in the superb 2014 vintage in the Ribera del Duero region. All of the wines from that year are simply unbelievable, with possibly the best version of Flor de Pingus ever, and a Pingus that rivals the already perfect 2012. I just wonder where you can go from here, because I previewed a special lot of the 2015, floral and fresh—even drinkable now (I did it!)—that resembled the elegance and perfume of the 1996, one of my favorite early vintages. And even if it's still very early, he was ecstatic about the quality of the 2016 (which I was kicking myself for not having the chance to taste), something in common with all of the people that were ABLE to harvest early. So the future couldn't look brighter for Pingus!! Talking about the more accessible PSI, 2014 is the last year when they fermented the wine outside their facilities, as they simply didn't have enough space. From 2015 on, they have built a new winery in Aranda de Duero and all subsequent wines are produced there, working the traditional Ribera del Duero way, which was mixing grapes from different origins. By the way, there is a PSI Gran Reserva aged for three years in well-seasoned barrels in the pipeline, of which I also tasted a barrel sample from 2013 that blew me away. Stay tuned!


Once again, the highlight of our Ranger family life is fast approaching: Eurocamp 2020. Our theme is «Make a difference». I am very excited and curious on how this camp theme will look! We are called to make a difference. Be eager to expect great things, not just in other Rangers' lives, but in your lives, too.
Beside that I am sure, that we will have wonderful time together with Rangers from all over the Europe. Workshops, different actions and cafeterias give us an opportunity to have fun, get to know new friends – perhaps for a lifetime.
Let us look forward to a week when good memories will be made, friendships will be established and renewed, new things will be learned, the beautiful country of Switzerland will be discovered and the relationship to God deepened.

This blog post is not just written to expecting mothers. This post is directed to everyone as postpartum care drastically changes people's lives. This post is a means of educating people that the first few weeks after birth are not the only time new families need assistance. Really the continued need for community is through the whole first year. If you know of new families in your inner circles, check in as often as possible and be a breath of fresh air and strength.
When the postpartum period is treasured with the patience, diligence and nourishment it deserves, women have the capacity to overcome chronic ailments and redirect their personal health. The time after birth is one of those amazing moments in life when we are capable of unparalleled recovery. I seek to empower women to be as thoughtful of the first postpartum year as they are of their pregnancies. Wonderful things will happen!
My practice is mostly women. It is no secret that my persona and my interests align well with women's health. But the ailment I treat most often is postpartum depletion in women of all ages. I'm not just treating new mothers—I am treating women who never fully recovered from the initial stages of motherhood.
Very often when we think about postpartum health we think about the first six weeks. The new mother needs to stop bleeding, heal the pelvic floor and vaginal canal and/or allow stiches to heal from a C-section. The new mother needs to learn how to eat enough to nurse a hungry baby and how to nurse every few hours during the day and night.
These first six weeks can be hallmarked with night delusions, brain fog, constipation, muscle cramps, extreme exhaustion, pain and unexpected weakness.
A bit of a settling into a routine comes during this period as family and baby become more comfortable with each other. The mother is becoming increasingly independent and support systems begin to wilt away. The diligent self-care may begin falling by the way-side. These next six weeks may show more frustration, irritability, urinary issues, sleep issues (unrelated to baby), low libido, poor memory, loss of appetite, decrease in will power.
The longevity of nursing and shortened sleep as the baby grows older and more active is a significant drain on the resources of even a healthy, well-rested mother. If the support is not continued, if a good diet and exercise and social network are lacking even slightly the body may begin to move into depletion mode. This is a common point for women to return to work and for all sorts of new health issues for the mother to arise. Symptoms at this point will always go in the order of the mother's weakness. Whatever her personal health history includes may now come back and rear its ugly head. This is when depression, anxiety and chronic low energy become unavoidable.
Society's expectation is the mother is fully back to work, highly functioning and eagerly back in her romantic relationship. This perfect picture may not take into account body changes, continued low energy, new or old sleep challenges and a still recovering body. Women who have really taken care of themselves throughout the first year may be feeling the strongest of their whole lives as nursing slows or ends. Women who have struggled with poor sleep, colicky babies or who are simply working too hard will begin to reach the limits of continuing without change.
Similar to an injury, we only get one chance to recover from childbirth. If we postpone it like credit card debt, it will wait patiently for us and gently accumulate interest. It will show up in weird symptoms like migraines, painful periods, digestive issues, memory problems, back pain, depression or anxiety, extreme anger or lack of will power and it will persist. I treat post-menopausal women who are really recovering from issues they've had since giving birth 20 or 30 years earlier and I treat a lot of women with little ones at home who just can't continue being sturdy mothers without some assistance.
Postpartum recovery is one of my favorite things to treat because I get to fully mother the mother. I remind them they don't have to worry about their kids for a whole hour (whether their kids are 2 months old or 40 years old). The recovery of a mother determined to get healthy is usually rapid and exciting. It is so much fun to see.

How to Delete Saved Searches on Twitter [Quick Tips]
By Mike Tee – Posted on Feb 17, 2019 Feb 17, 2019 in Internet
It's easy to overlook the "Save Search" feature in Twitter, but it's pretty useful. It allows you to save things you search for on Twitter so that whenever you click the Search bar in the corner, you'll see a list of your favorite Twitter topics that you can click through.
You can save a Twitter search by entering the term, then clicking the three-dotted menu icon at the top-right corner of Twitter followed by "Save this search." Simple.
But what if you want to delete your saved Twitter searches? Tastes change, after all, and maybe you've concluded after extensive research that you don't want to follow what people have to say about the "flat earth society" or "gaming memes."
Luckily for you, it's fairly simple. All you have to do is log into your Twitter account, and click the search bar at the top-right corner.
Here you'll see a list of your recent searches as well as your saved searches. You can delete each individual search entry by using the little "x" icon to the right of it.
You can click "Clear" to delete all your recent searches, but you'll need to use the "x" icons to get rid of your saved searches.
Alternatively, you can click through on your saved search entry, then click the three-dotted menu icon at the top-right corner. Click "Remove this saved search" to delete that term from your saved searches.
And that's all there is to it. Your Twitter search history of shame is no more and ready to be replaced with a bunch of stuff that we're sure reflects the better version of you that now exists. What are your weirdest saved searches on Twitter? Let us know in the comments!

for what it's worth, this is for the legacy version of Twitter .. the newest version dosn't have a "save search" option on their website, or in the app.

We compare alternative methods for estimating immigrant wage and employment assimilation using unique panel data over 2001–2009 for a large, nationally-representative sample of immigrants. Previous assimilation estimates have been mainly based on cross-sectional data and have therefore suffered from a range of potential biases. We find that a fixed-effects model generates estimated employment assimilation profiles that are flatter and significantly different to those produced by cross-sectional and synthetic cohort methods. However, there are no significant differences in the wage assimilation profiles across alternative methods.

Regular readers of Scide Splitters will be familiar with Alex Shvartsman as editor of the Unidentified Funny Objects humor anthologies, but he has also established a growing reputation as a writer in recent years. Since 2010, Mr. Shvartsman has sold over seventy stories. Explaining Cthulhu to Grandma and Other Stories represents a little over half of this output, presumably the better half.
To be honest, when I read my first Shvartsman short story a few years ago, I was not impressed (see my comments on the story You Bet below). So when I was asked to review this collection for Scide Splitters I balked because I prefer to review things that I can recommend to my readers. Never-the-less, I offered to take a look at it before making a decision. In reading the collection, I was delightfully surprised to find Mr. Shvartsman to be a rather talented writer.
It is difficult to pin down Shvartsman's strongest suit as a writer. Nearly half of this collection consists of humorous stories and many of them are fine examples of the art, however, this book also contains well executed tales across a wide range of subgenres under the speculative fiction umbrella. And although they are very much in opposition to humor, I must admit that his most serious stories pack one hell of an emotional punch.
A few biographical notes might be in order before I get on to examining the stories themselves. Mr. Shvartsman was born in the Ukraine and immigrated to New York in his teens, so it should not be a surprise to see these settings pop up with some frequency in his stories. Additionally, gamers might be interested to know that Mr. Shvartsman once made a living as a professional Magic: The Gathering player, traveling the world to complete in tournaments and winning over $100,000 in the process. He is also the proprietor of Kings Games, a game shop in Brooklyn.
Explaining Cthulhu to Grandma and Other Stories contains a total of forty stories, each with an afterward by the author explaining the origin and publication history of the story (Ken Liu provides the overall collection introduction). Since that is quite a few to review individually, and since not all of them are humor, I will limit my brief story descriptions to the humorous ones and the most noteworthy non-humorous ones. And as always, I will try to avoid spoilers.
"Explaining Cthulhu to Grandma" – A young woman from a family with a magic pawn shop acquires Cthulhu trapped in a pocket universe (think snow globe). Her grandma, unfamiliar with the Lovecraftian deity, is not impressed until several factions arrive hoping to acquire the god for humorously ill-advised purposes. This story won the 2014 WSFA Small Press Award for Short Fiction.
"The Rumination on What Isn't" – A great example of what can be done with flash fiction. To avoid spoiling it, I will only state that it is science fiction, not in any way funny, but has potent impact.
"Doubt" – An assassin with cybernetic implants faces doubt as he tries to stay ahead of the competition. A techno-thriller with interesting internal character conflict. Another non-humor story, but don't skip it.
"The Epistolary History" – A short, clever, humorous series of letters from a man to his wife just after he has invented a time machine.
"A Shard Glows in Brooklyn" – Amusing urban fantasy in which members of the Watch protect normal people from the paranormal that they can't see. Conrad Brent is testing out a new recruit to see if he can handle the weird stuff.
"Requiem For a Druid" – Conrad Brent of the Watch returns to solve the mystery of who is using magic to obstruct a big development project.
"Bedtime Story on Christmas Eve, 1,000,000 AD" – Flash humor, the story of Christmas distorted by a million years and some other things.
"Seven Conversations in Locked Rooms" – In a future in which memory modification is used to treat criminals rather than incarcerate them, a man chooses to serve time instead. Shvartsman's interesting treatment makes this another non-humor piece not to miss.
"The Field Trip" – Five students vie for an internship with a renowned xenoarchaeologist. An early Shvartsman story attempted in a Douglas Adams style, but he doesn't quite pull it off.
"Superior Firepower" – Angels arrive in Israel for Armageddon and find UN peacekeepers blocking their way. Another early humor story, but this one works really well. Laugh out loud funny.
"The Dragon Ships of Tycho" – Solid space opera in which Earth diplomats desperately try to form an alliance to defend against a hive species called the Swarm.
"The Tell-Tale Ear" – The unscrupulous CEO of a marketing company is hearing the ads they are forcing on people in public places, as told through a series of emails. Humorous use of the Poe story.
"The Miracle on Tau Prime" – Representatives of the Vatican investigate a reported miracle on another planet.
"The Tinker Bell Problem" – Shvartsman comically turns the idea of summoning a demon with a pentagram upside down as a man finds himself summoned by demons.
"True Love" – A woman is disappointed when she tries to experience true love through the services of Temporal Excursions, Inc., a company that allows people to experience the lives of people in the past.
"You Bet" – A man who can't remember who he is finds himself playing poker in a room full of pop-culture tropes. The slow reveal didn't keep my interest and the pop-culture jokes seemed flat.
"Worldbuilding" – A writer is called to his editor's office to discuss problems in the worldbuilding of his space fantasy. Hilarious conversation as they discuss the plausibility of carnivorous space manatees. One of my favorites in the collection.
"Icarus Falls" – An old woman is losing her memory, but even on her worst days remembers her daughter who visits her daily. Reporters camp outside the hospital to cover her story, but the woman doesn't know why. This is an excellent character driven science fiction tale that I'd rather not spoil with any more detail. Another non-humor piece that demonstrates Shvartsman's range.
"A One-Sided Argument" – After an alien crashes in Manhattan killing thousands, a man argues with his wife who tells him it was an accident. He thinks it was intentional. Well done non-humorous flash fiction inspired by 9-11.
"How Earth Narrowly Escaped an Invasion from Space" – An Invasion fleet of cats comes to conquer earth. Silly, cute, has cat puns, but it works.
"Fate and Other Variables" – A kabbalist enlists an atheist computer hacker to hack the book of fate updated annually by angels. Interesting concept inspired by the fact that Hebrew letters are also numbers.
Overall, Explaining Cthulhu to Grandma and Other Stories is an impressive collection with plenty to offer the humor enthusiast while showcasing Alex Shvartsman's command of storytelling in a wide range of speculative fiction subgenres. Mr. Shvartsman is one to watch. Explaining Cthulhu to Grandma and Other Stories is available from UFO Publishing.

Thank you, David, for another top notch review. But, truth be told, the collection's title had me sold. At 40 stories that is quite an output and the consideration of the writer to add an afterward always interests me. Guess that comes from reading Ellison. Excuse the brevity of this note, keeping the screen in focus on my phone makes it a chore.
Thank you, John. Your comments are always appreciated. Even your briefest observations tend to add something interesting to the discussion. I agree that when an author adds something, be it an afterward or forward, it gives me just that little added interest in getting the book. In some ways, a story can almost seem naked without one.

Martha King, Contributing Editor
The Kings hold the highest level of every possible pilot category and class certificate, from lighter-than-air to seaplane ATP; Martha King was the first woman to hold that distinction.
Martha King Bio
Martha is the daughter of a U.S. Air Force pilot. She grew up in various places around the world with the most time spent in Dayton, Ohio where her father was stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Although her father was a pilot, neither Martha nor her father could ever have imagined that she would become a pilot. Martha's interests were in the arts and literature.
Anyone who knew Martha knew that she is a very competent, strong person. When Martha's father told John that she was the most stubborn person he had ever known, John's answer was, "I already know that. I prefer to think of it as extraordinary determination."
When, against everyone's advice and better judgment, Martha, at the age of 19, married John, they agreed to be equal partners in everything they did. They started their first business together while still in college. As soon as possible, they bought an airplane, a Cherokee. Martha, never one to be left behind, learned to fly along with John.
Martha's love of learning and flying manifested itself as she and John used every opportunity to learn about flying. She consequently became the first woman to hold every category and class on her pilot and instructor certificates. Through her personable video instruction Martha has come to be considered their own aviation mentor by hundreds of thousands of pilots. Her father would have been stunned.

Francis Michel Bator (; August 10, 1925 – March 15, 2018) was a Hungarian-American economist and educator. He was a professor emeritus at Harvard Kennedy School of political economy. He was born in Budapest, Hungary. Bator attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and earned a Ph.D. in 1956. He was Deputy National Security Advisor of the United States from 1965 to 1967. He was also a Special Assistant to President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Francis M. Bator was Lucius N. Littauer Professor of Political Economy Emeritus in Harvard's Kennedy School of Government where he was founding chairman of the School's Public Policy Program, and director of studies in its Institute of Politics. Before coming to Harvard in 1967 he served as deputy national security advisor to President Lyndon Johnson covering U.S.-European relations and foreign economic policy.  On the occasion of his departure from the White House, The Economist of London headed an article about his service "Europe's Assistant."

Bator's 1958 article "The Anatomy of Market Failure," was recently described as "the standard reference" to the "approach [that] now forms the basis of …textbook expositions in the economics of the public sector." His 1960 book, The Question of Government Spending, was described in the Economic Journal "as a model of the sort of contribution which the economist can make to informed public discussion"  and in the NYT as one of seven books that influenced President Kennedy's approach to the presidency.

Education and career
Bator was born in Budapest in 1925.  In 1939, he and his family fled to New York, where his father became a banker.  Bator was on route to become an Army infantry officer in the Pacific on Victory over Japan Day. Bator obtained a S.B. and Ph.D. both from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1949 and 1956 respectively.

He served as Senior Economic Advisor in the USAID; Special Consultant to the Secretary of the Treasury; and as consultant to the departments of state and defense, the RAND Corporation, and McKinsey & Co.  He has been a member of the President's Committee on International Monetary Arrangements, the Foreign Affairs Task Force of the Democratic Advisory Council of Elected Officials, the U.S. member of U.N. Commissions on economic projections and on international monetary reform,  and a director of the Atlantic Council.  He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, and of the US Army Infantry School Hall of Fame. He holds the U.S. Treasury Department's Distinguished Service Award.

CensorshipControl
Facebook and Twitter Help Antifa While Censoring Everyday Americans
Former Rep. Allen West (R-FL) highlighted Facebook and Twitter's politically-driven and arbitrary censorship of information, contrasting the platforms' facilitation of operations executed by Antifa and Black Lives Matter while censoring disagreement with public health authorities' positions.
West joined Tuesday's edition of SiriusXM's Breitbart News Tonight with host Rebecca Mansour and special guest host Ed Martin to discuss ongoing unrest, protests, and riots following the death of George Floyd.
West remarked,
"What infuriates me more than anything else is that these social media platforms are being used by groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter to organize, to get out their orders and instructions, but when we had everyday Americans that wanted to have rallies about the unconstitutionality of these stay-at-home orders and the lockdowns and shutdowns — I call it illegal martial law and house arrest — Facebook and Twitter threatened to censor them … Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey need to stop making decisions based upon their ideological agendas."
"[The killing of George Floyd] was heinous," West stated. "It was offensive. It was evil. It was tyrannical and despotic to see someone put their entire weight in their left knee on the carotid artery of a man who was handcuffed, and his crime was forgery — $20 bills — not armed robbery, not attempted murder, or aggravated assault. So, he was not armed or any danger to any of those four police officers that were there around him."
West continued, "There is no excuse for what we see happening in America. It just goes back to the Rahm Emanuel mantra of never letting a good crisis go to waste."
"Antifa is a domestic terrorist group," West declared, "and we need to peel the onion back. We need to find the leadership. We need to find the resourcing. Black Lives Matter is no better.
"Black Lives Matter does not show up in Chicago or any of the other major urban population centers across the country run by Democrats, where you see black-on-black crime.
"They say nothing about the atrocious fact that 20 million black babies have been murdered in the womb thanks to Planned Parenthood, which was founded by a white supremacist and a racist."
West went on,
"I see people cherry-picking and using the theme of racism and being a racist to fit an ideological agenda, and we have got to have strong voices to stand up and push back against this. If we cannot maintain law and order in our streets, then we're going to see the undermining of our constitutional republic."
"We now have a domestic enemy," West said.
"We have an enemy that, without a doubt, has declared that they want to undermine this constitutional republic. They want to replace it with a governing system that is completely different."
West added, "We cannot have these seditious organizations and groups that are running amok in the United States of America and recruiting people."
November's elections present a choice between individual sovereignty and collective enslavement, determined West.
"It comes down to understanding the right and true relationship between the individual citizen and the institution of government," West said.
"In the United States of America, the individual citizens — if you read our Declaration and our Constitution — are sovereign. And why is the individual sovereign? Because their inalienable rights come from their creator, God, not from man."
West articulated a fundamental distinction between left-wing ideology and conservatism.
"There are people that believe that the institution of government should be supreme and sovereign over the individual, and that's not what we have in America," West explained.
"We have to decide, are we going to be individually sovereign or are we going to be collectively subjugated?"
"We have to decide, do we want to be victors or do we want to be victims? We have to decide, do we want to be economically empowered or do we want to be economically enslaved? There is no greater time in the history of the United States of America to draw a clear delineation in these two very different philosophies of governance."
West concluded by noting the links between Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the Democrat Party.
"Barack Obama said we're five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America, and they believe that they can do that," West recalled.
"That's why you see them out there on the streets, using fear, intimidation, coercion, and violence to get the ends that they want."

Q: asp.net simplemodal usage I need to display an iframe either on a button click or on an event (from an updatepanel) and using the code below I should be able to do just that.
I'm just not sure how to call the JS
var src = "http://sample.com/";
$.modal('', {
 closeHTML: "",
 containerCss: {
  backgroundColor: "#fff",
  borderColor: "#fff",
  height: 450,
  padding: 0,
  width: 830
 },
 overlayClose: true
});

If I just have it in a

A: var src = "http://sample.com/";
$(document).ready(function()
{
    $("#showpopup").click(function(e)
    {
      e.preventDefault();
    $.modal('', {
     closeHTML: "",
     containerCss: {
      backgroundColor: "#fff",

      padding: 0,
      width: 830
     },
     overlayClose: true
    });
    });
});

Then adding this Show to your page will make it appear.
I suggest you visit http://docs.jquery.com to read up on how event triggering works.

A: Hope this helps, here i used a normal link. if you are using a .net button then use the
Button.Attributes.Add("onclick","ShowModal()");

test

A: Do like this for calling from submit button
onclick = fnOpenPopUp(LineNum);

and to handle the modal pop up use
function fnOpenPopUp(LineNum)
{
    var argObj= window;
    var detailpage = '<%=Url.Action("ReviewRequestQueuePartial")%>'
    detailpage +="?LineNumber="+LineNum.toString();

    var myWindow=window.showModalDialog(detailpage ,"ReviewRequestQueuePartial", "dialogWidth:1025px; dialogHeight:650px; center:yes; resizable:yes;modal=yes");
