Georgia: Batumi illumination ready for use
27.02.2020 00:55 source: StadiumDB.com
Yesterday illumination testing concluded at Batumi Stadium. The dynamic system allows all of the stadium facades to become a giant screen on event nights. Whether neighbours like it or not...
After a couple days the integrated illumination system of Batumi Stadium is fully operational. Testing may have been burdensome on nearby residents as the nearest block of flats stands less than 30 meters away from the stadium.
Lighting pollution was significant but now that the goal was to integrate many thousands of LEDs enveloping the stadium. Each of the overlapping facade segments has diods mounted along its edges. They're placed densely enough to bring the entire volume to life at night, even allowing some objects or messages to be displayed on the stadium, as seen in the simulation below:
Illumination testing was one of the very last things to finish at Batumi Stadium. Matchday floodlights have been ready since December. At present the last remaining works consider installations and furnishing within the press and corporate areas of the stadium.
Once ready, the stadium should be handed over, most likely in March. Keep in mind, the contracted schedule stipulated delivery in October of this year, which means the project is over 7 months ahead of schedule. With groundbreaking in late January of 2018, the entire process lasted just over 2 years.
With 20,035 seats the stadium will become Georgia's most modern and advanced football venue, UEFA Category 4 compliant. The new home of Dynamo Batumi was contracted for a price tag of GEL 99.5 million ($36m / €32m). At this point we have no information of possible overruns.

Dandruff can appear at any time, though it tends to be more likely to start in your teens.
That's because, as your hormones change, you start to produce more oil – a key ingredient that can cause dandruff to appear.
Find out more about the causes of dandruff.
As well as flakes, you may start to experience an itchy scalp or a tight, dry feeling – these are early warning signs of dandruff so it's a good idea to start using an anti-dandruff shampoo as soon as you experience them.
Of course, your teens aren't the only time that your hormones change – there are plenty of other times in your life when it's likely tohappen too.
So if you're experiencing dandruff for the first time later in life, don't worry – it's easy to treat and help stay flake free.

A Company Driven by Faith & Powered by God!
How LifeSource Vitamins came into existence is a story of family and faith. It begins with my family and how my faith and the faith of others helped create a vitamin that will not only work but will help people live a healthier life.
Here is our story: LifeSource Vitamins began when I lost my father, Al Brightman to pancreatic cancer. It was 1990, I had just found out my father was diagnosed with this horrible disease. When I first heard the news I figured that my dad, who I considered to be a Super Hero, would beat it with no problem. As it turned out that was not the case and he died 18 months later in June of 1992. With my dad's passing I knew I wanted to find ways to help people become healthier, and live longer. I wanted to give people a way to prevent the loss my family and I had just endured. I had the desire but just didn't know what to do. So I prayed…….
The death of a parent is one of the most excruciating moments in a persons' life, and I highly suggest you tell your parents you love them and hug them each and every day. Once a Mom or Dad passes, you have to wait until you get to heaven to hug them again, but while they are here you have the ability to make sure that they know you love and value them for who they are and what they have done for you. I find that in the hustle and bustle of life that we sometimes neglect the ones closest to us. Hug and tell your loved ones relentlessly just how you feel about them. It was one of the hardest things that my family has ever had to endure. But out of this loss came hope, and the motivation to start LifeSource Vitamins.
After getting such a wide array of conflicting information, I hired my own team of Doctor's, Pharmacist's, Nutritionist's and Scientist's to help me create vitamins and supplements that would actually work at the cellular level of the body. Most vitamins and supplements as everyone knows flow (excrete) through your body with very little uploading, and uploading is the only true way for supplements to be effective. It took us 3 years of formulations, and re-formulations to come up with our first tablet form Multi-vitamin. Since all of our studies, research and our double blind tests were so absolutely conclusive, in 1996, we started manufacturing these vitamins for the American population.
Now let's fast forward to the present time, I am humbled by the fact that God chose me and with His guiding hand—a tiny company (that started out with one product) is now a thriving business with more than 400 supplements and that funds amazing Christian organizations that spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. In essence, we work for God, and we know that there is no better job that we could have than the one we have at LifeSource Vitamins. We are blessed each and every day! We now ship to just about every country in the world, and the results are all the same, fantastic.
We have inspiring and fiercely loyal customers, and every day they tell us that God has led them to us, and how they were looking online for a vitamin company they could trust and there we were. With all of the vitamin companies out there now, how could we possibly pop up? I think we all know the answer to that question. Our Lord works in amazing ways!
As you know by now, LifeSource Vitamins is a company that answers to God in all we do, from the nutrients we choose to the way we run our business. We are loud and proud about our company, our faith and what we stand for and how and why this company was started. It was started to make a difference and that is exactly what we do.
SERVE: We are so proud of the fact that we are a company who is committed to the health of others, no matter what the cost. We will not scrimp on nutrients ever! Health is our concern, not money!
GIVE: We donate ALL of our proceeds to Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU), and The Jesus Film Project (Dr. Bill Bright's organizations), as well as World Vision, Compassion International and Key Life Ministries. We also have a network of young men and women who don't have the monetary means but have a passion for going to seminary school that we help fund and we also help fund local food relief organizations nationwide and we are so proud to do so. This is why LifeSource Vitamins was started, to help people.
I am the youngest of 7 children with countless nephews, nieces and family members. Most, if not all of these family members, take our vitamins in one form or another, including my own 90 year old Mother Katie, so believe me when I tell you, we will always manufacture our vitamins with the best possible ingredients no matter what the cost and we will never use heat during the processing that will kill the nutritional value of our vitamins.
God has given us a precious gift in the human body; let us honor Him by nurturing that gift to the best of our ability and living a healthy lifestyle. Thank you in advance for your support, and may God bless you and your loved ones always!
A Company Powered By GOD!
As I mentioned above, with the loss of my father I began doing the research, and what I started finding out 25 plus years ago was big vitamin companies were not putting the best possible nutrients in their products. I think it is easy to figure out if you buy fresh harvested nutrients vs. nutrients that is a week old, two weeks old or more, then the nutrient has been compromised. It cost far less to buy older nutrients or frozen nutrients and they are far less effective as well. Why would companies do this? Billions of dollars of revenue is why. Part of my research was trying just about every name brand and multi-level vitamin I could get, breaking them down, testing them, and actually trying them myself, and what I found was that they all cost a bundle and I still continued to get sick taking them. I caught every cold and flu (virus) that swept through Portland, Oregon and Orlando, Florida, both of my resident cities, both with very different health & climate challenges. I thought it to be ridiculous that I was paying $40 to $70 a month and got the exact same results. I got sick with all of them. This told me a few things, they were great at marketing the vitamins, and not so great where the results of the vitamins were concerned. It was at this point of frustration that I knew LifeSource Vitamins was on its way. I just thought it to be time for a company to compete with these mass distributors of nutritional supplements, and beat them through optimum nutrition. We don't care about anything except results, in reality, results are all that really matter, not hype or slick marketing. JUST RESULTS!
In late 1992 my team and myself formulated what we felt to be the most complete, well-rounded, scientifically advanced vitamin in the world and we had to test them. The testing needed to be done on people who were in tune with their bodies enough to see immediate impact or lack thereof with regards to their endurance, balance, sleeping patterns, flexibility, sense of well-being and performance through this new form of optimum nutrition uploading. Our choice was simple; we chose athletes, and not just any athletes, Pro athletes from the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, NHL, Olympic athletes, World Class Marathoners, Sprinters and Olympic Swimmers. We began testing with these athletes immediately, and what we found was astounding. We tested them for 2 years all around the world to ensure that the fantastic results were not geographically biased. We had the same results in all 17 countries. Our goals were easy, Stronger, Faster & Healthier! No Colds, No Flu's, No Bugs! These results are only attained through your body being in total balance with your mind, your body and optimum nutrition.
Proper nutrition, as I mentioned above, has been shown to: help deter cancer, and also increase muscle and joint mobility, combat arthritic conditions of numerous kinds, fight against heart disease and it also has shown to defend against digestive problems. These are just a few of the preventative values that occur when having optimum nutrition. My dad, and of course God, are the true driving forces behind me creating the most complete, well-rounded, scientifically advanced supplements in the world to help us live a longer and hopefully disease-free and healthier life!
We are so blessed with the RESULTS and thankful for our affiliations with these athletes, as well as Christian men, women & children all around the world.
Please call us if you have questions or if you want us to mail you out one of our 68 page catalogs or venture into our website and see what we currently offer. We are adding new items all of the time, we are currently working on over 200 different supplements to go with the 400 or so we already have.

"We're really focusing on gathering local knowledge about the challenges we'll face, ensuring everyone is counted," Torres Small said. "Carlsbad faces challenges when it comes to a growing population.
"We care about getting resources to a place that provides so many resources to our state and our country."

Eddy County's population in 2018 was 57,900 compared to 53,823 eight years earlier, read census figures.
Carlsbad's population was 26,138, according to 2010 U.S. Census Bureau figures, the most recently available numbers for the city.
"We have not yet released the sub-county/city level estimates, but they will be coming out next month," said Jewel Jordan, U.S. Census Bureau spokesperson.
The recent population explosion caused by a boom in the oil and gas industry led to more people, traffic and businesses in Carlsbad.
Ward 3 Carlsbad City Councilor Jason Shirley said the city doesn't have an exact figure on how many new people have moved into the community.
"I don't have a number I'm comfortable with, but, it's much, much higher than the last census number," he said.

Shirley sits on a committee formed by Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway to address the upcoming U.S. Census.
Shirley said the committee was charged with getting word out to people on the importance of participating in the survey.
"We are working on details, but the plan will include social media, radio, signage and print as well working with employers," he said.
"It is extremely vital for residents to fill out the census forms. A resident, according to the census, is anyone who spends the majority of their time in a given city.
"That means if you sleep more nights here than you do somewhere else, you are to be counted in Carlsbad."
Census provides vital information
The census determines how many representatives each state gets in Congress and is used to redraw district boundaries.

Redistricting counts are sent to the states by March 31, 2021, according to the Census Bureau.
Shirley said an increase in population means Carlsbad could be eligible for more federal funds.
"Each resident is tied to over $2,000 in federal money. It also means more retail and restaurant opportunities. We all want them, but many companies don't look at us because we don't meet the population threshold according to the census," he said.
Each year, the federal government distributes more than $675 billion to states and communities based on Census Bureau data.

Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway said a precise census count is needed for the City of Carlsbad.
"We all agree that an accurate census count for Carlsbad and the surrounding area is extremely important and are working to make sure that happens," he said.
Census work begins in January 2020 and citizens may respond online, by phone or through the U.S. Postal Service.
Census Day is April 1, 2020 and for those who don't respond, census takers will gather information in person.
Apportionment counts will be sent to the President by Dec. 31, 2020.

Q: AngularJS "caching" on slow internet connection :( I've a simple angularjs application like:
module = angular.module 'testFooBarModule', ['ngResource']

module.factory 'FooBar', ($resource)->
    $resource 'foobar/target', {},
        load:
            method: 'GET'
            cache: false # no effect
            headers:
                'Cache-Control': 'no-cache' # no effect

module.controller 'FooBarCtrl', ($scope, FooBar)->
    FooBar.load (result)->
        console.log result

With highspeed internet like home wlan or mobile hspa everything works fine. The request has fired and the server gives me a unique response.
But with 2G internet like edge or gprs the server receives no requests and the angularjs app give me always the same results. No errors occur. The "no-cache" header were sended as well.
I've no idea what's wrong. Can anyone help me?
Sry for my english :D
best regards.

A: Thats probably not an angular issue. My guess is the internet-provider is doing some magic http-proxying to safe bandwidth or your underlying OS is trying to cache it for you.
Some options:

*

*using HTTPS should prevent provider man-in-the-middles and for mobile apps in any case a good idea!

*using a clumsy dynamic parameter like a timestamp

*use POST or PUT as verbs

*add the 'Cache-Control: no-cache' header in the server-response, which I think the is the most-clean solution

Over Facebook comments on my recent post on how to use a tag cloud to analyze your rsum, one of my local NEPA networking contacts, Victor Scelba shared his awesome career pictograph and then asked if I had seen Google Search Stories.
Considering that I have a Google Labs widget on my iGoogle intelligence dashboard, I thought I was much sharper than I apparently am - being a Special Agent and all. Apparently not - there's an obvious gap in intelligence data.
In any event, I had to check it out. Google Search Stories allows users to make a video clip of a search, using web, images, blogs, maps, books,news and product search.
How I missed this in April I'll never figure out.
I have been consistent in tying many of life's facets into this blog on human capital & new media, to include food, celebrities, Spock, aircraft and human dominoes - by golly I was going to find a way to incorporate Search Stories.
And then...... The light bulb went off. What if job seekers could use Search Stories to create an attractive clip that would visually depict their :30sec elevator pitch?
I couldn't find other examples of Search Stories used for this purpose so I decided to be a crash test dummy and try it out on myself.
I'll have to say I'm rather pleased with the results. Complimented by my Tag Rsum, this shows the skills I have not in a vanilla but rather a Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors kind of way - quite the additions to a digital portfolio.
Obviously, someone with little online presence would be challenged to tell their Search Story using their own work, as I did. However, it could certainly still be done with creative searches.
Karla, you have a knack for combining new media in exciting and creative ways!
(3) check your email for alerts and post away!!
Try checking your page rankings before and after you start posting on new pages.. I think you will find it greatly improves your rankings!
^put the word blog, forum, or comment ….
Great tips on SEO for blogs Victor – thanks!


Kartikeya Baldwa, Director of Ixoreal Biomed, the marketer of KSM-66, said: "Ashwagandha has been used traditionally as an adaptogen to rejuvenate health, maintain homeostasis, sustain normal thyroid function and maintain hormonal balance in human body. However, very few modern published papers have reported ashwagandha's beneficial effects on thyroid function. This is the first clinical study that supports the traditional claim of ashwagandha as a thyroid modulator.


Betty demonstrates how to make a Sour Cream and Cheddar Potato Casserole. This casserole consists of seasoned shredded potatoes, coated with a mixture of sour cream, cheddar cheese, onion flakes, and mushroom soup. It is baked in the oven and topped with buttery Ritz cracker crumbs.
Cook shredded potatoes in a large bowl in the microwave, just until tender. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix sour cream, onion flakes, mushroom soup, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
Fold gently into shredded potatoes until potatoes are coated. Bake at 350 degrees (F) for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
When casserole is almost done, mix melted butter with Ritz cracker crumbs and spread evenly over top of casserole.
Bake an additional 5 minutes, or until top is brown and crusty. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving.


And another 14 percent said they're unlikely to do so, a recent survey found.
As Black Friday approaches, a recent Veridium survey of 2,029 U.S. consumers found that 29.4 percent of respondents will avoid shopping online entirely this year due to concerns about data breaches, and another 14 percent said they're less likely to shop online for the same reason.
"Americans are understandably nervous about using their credit card online given how easily the card number, expiration date and four-digit code on the back of the card are compromised and the low barrier to entry for fraudsters using that information to spend big online," Veridium CTO John Callahan told eSecurity Planet by email. "The security of our payment infrastructure is substantially outdated in most cases, given the ability to check biometrics using smartphones is available."
Separately, a recent TeleSign survey of 1,300 U.S. adults found that almost a third of respondents value their online lives at between $100,000 and priceless, and 55 percent say businesses are primarily responsible for securing their online and mobile accounts.
"When you consider what comprises an online life -- email, banking and social media accounts, personal information, photos and more -- these assets are extremely valuable, even 'priceless' as some reported," TeleSign CEO Aled Miles said in a statement. "With the majority of consumers looking to businesses to keep them safe online, companies need to prioritize strong account security or risk losing valuable users."
Fifty-one percent of respondents said they experienced a security incident in the past year -- a hacked account, stolen password, or theft of personal information. Forty-two percent of victims said the security incidents resulted in losses.
That may be related to the fact that, on average, respondents use the same passwords for seven online accounts, meaning that 71 percent of accounts are protected by reused passwords. Forty-six percent of respondents also use passwords that are more than five years old.
Overall, 82 percent of respondents are concerned about online security, and 88 percent are concerned specifically about being hacked. And 46 percent of respondents said they've enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) for at least one account, up from 39 percent in 2015.
"With all the dangers we face today in our online lives, it's encouraging to see that consumers are becoming increasingly aware of how to protect themselves beyond the password alone," Miles added. "Seventy-three percent are urging companies to provide additional security such as 2FA."
Still, the 2016 Shred-it Security Tracker survey found that just 36 percent of U.S. C-suite respondents recognize that lost or stolen data would have a serious impact on their organizations, and 34 percent of small business owners think a data breach would have no significant impact on their business.
"In addition to being financially ruinous, a data breach can erode a business' public reputation and the confidence of customers," Shred-it senior vice president Kevin Pollack said in a statement. "Understanding the impacts of fraud, identifying organizational vulnerabilities and putting in place proper measures for data protection is one of the most valuable investments you can make to protect your business from the significant financial, legal and reputational damage that a data breach can cause."

Friday, 23 June 2017 : Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, World Day of Prayer for the Sanctity of Priestly Life (Homily and Scripture Reflections)
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, on this day we celebrate a great solemnity in honour of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a devotion and tradition which had deep roots in our faith in the Church, beginning from an ancient tradition of devotion to the great love which the Lord Jesus had shown us all His people, through His most loving and merciful Sacred Heart, a devotion which was given in its modern form through the visions which was received by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque approximately four centuries ago.
In many of the icons of the Most Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus, we often see Jesus our Lord revealing His Sacred Heart, which is crowned with thorns and pierced with a lance, and with a flaming fire above the Heart, showing the great love and the intensity of which love, through which, our Lord resolved to redeem us from our sins and save us from the disaster that was about to be our fate. It was by this love, that He was willing to go through all sorts of persecutions and sufferings, for our sake and for our salvation.
In His appearance to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, the Lord Jesus showed His Most Sacred Heart to her, and spoke to her, saying that while His love for mankind had been great and magnificent, but most of mankind had rejected Him and His love, and spurned His love. We have rejected God's love for us by our disobedience and refusal to follow His ways, and by continuing therefore to live in sin.
That is why it is important for us to devote ourselves to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, by understanding and knowing that great love which God in His heart has shown us all. There are indeed those who refused to believe in the devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, because they deemed that it was idolatry and false to worship the supposedly physical heart of Jesus, but that was because of a misunderstanding of what the devotion to the Sacred Heart is really about.
In essence, our devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is a devotion to the physical or human Heart and the Divine Heart of our Lord and Saviour, Who has two natures, God and Man, which are yet united in perfection of love, in one singular Divinity. If the Lord had assumed the flesh of Man, then surely His whole entire Body is a reflection of both His humanity and divinity, including His Most Sacred Heart.
All of us know that the heart is among the most important organs in our body, without which the blood which provides our body cells and other organs with nutrients and oxygen cannot flow. And in figurative terms, the heart is the centre of our emotions and is often associated with love. That is why as I have mentioned earlier on, and in what our Lord Jesus Himself had told all those to whom He revealed His Most Sacred Heart, He told them how He loved all mankind, and yet His people rejected Him and His love.
At the moment of His crucifixion and death, the soldier named Longinus was tasked to attest the fact of His death. He took up his lance and pierced the side of Jesus, which hit towards His heart. Immediately from the Most Sacred Heart came forth blood and water, which poured down upon all who saw it, and those who saw it, including Longinus, believed in Jesus.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, through all of these, we have seen how Jesus our Lord has loved us so much, that because of that love, poured out freely from His Most Sacred Heart, He was willing to endure suffering, pain, rejection, ridicule and all sorts of punishments, all of which were meant to be ours. Because of our sins, all of us ought to have been crushed and be destroyed due to them, but the Lord willingly shouldered all those sins, and were wounded for our sake.
Do we all realise just how much it was that the Lord had done for us? His Most Sacred Heart and all the love He had within has made everything possible for us, including our salvation and liberation from our fated destruction because of our sins. Every single wounds inflicted on Him, every single pain, be it physical or mental, from all the rejection, ridicule and mockery, are our sins, caused by our sins, and made by our disobedience.
Let us all therefore do our best, in order to seek to be closer to God, by relying and depending on His Most Sacred Heart, and all the love which He had kept in His Sacred Heart. Let us all remember that whenever we sin and whenever we turn away from His ways, we are taking part in ridiculing and persecuting the Lord, Who had borne all of our sins upon Himself.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, as Christians therefore, all of us need to become role models in our devotion and commitment to the Lord, particularly today in the aspect of His Most Sacred Heart, remembering the great love and compassion which He had shown us, poured out from His ever loving Heart, filled with genuine love and mercy for us all mankind. Let us all turn wholeheartedly to Him and be good for the rest of our lives. May the Lord, in His Most Sacred Heart, bless us all. Amen.

Towards an Interpretation of Textiles in the Provincial Domestic Interior: Three Homes in the West Midlands, 1780-1848
Ponsonby, Margaret
This article explores the role of textiles in the home in the later eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. The methodology adopted is a response to the difficulties of researching homes in this period when probate inventories had largely ceased to be made. Instead of using quantitative analysis, this essay focuses on three case studies of homes where detailed lists allow speculation on the uses of furnishing textiles in these homes. Three themes are identified: conspicuous consumption, domestic ideology and the possible meanings of stored textiles. These themes are explored using recent cultural theories to provide a framework for analysis. (Ingenta)

Men, masculinities and menswear advertising, c.1890-1914
Ugolini, Laura (London: I. B. Tauris & Co. Ltd., 2002)
"A Nation of Shopkeepers" reflects research on retail history and cultures of consumption. The contributors challenge existing ideas about retail development, showing how, for example, large-scale retailers played a far lesser role in the development of the modern city that is generally thought, and how the success of department stores was determined less by "entrepreneurial" spirit and more by the unforseen consequences of legislation. With the growing interest in cultures of consumption, this book should be useful to specialists and students in retail history, human geography and social and cultural history. (I.B.

Men and Menswear: Sartorial Consumption in Britain, 1880 -1939
Ugolini, Laura (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2007)
Despite increasing academic interest in both the study of masculinity and the history of consumption, there are still few published studies that bring together both concerns. By investigating the changing nature of the retailing of menswear, this book illuminates wider aspects of masculine identity as well as patterns of male consumption between the years 1880 and 1939. While previous historical studies of masculinity have focused overwhelmingly on the moral, spiritual and physical characteristics associated with notions of 'manliness', this book considers the relationship between men and activities which were widely considered to be at least potentially 'unmanly' – selling, as well as buying clothes – thus shedding new light on men's lives and identities in this period. Contents: General editor's preface; Introduction; Part I Consuming Menswear: Identities, 1880–1939; Non-conformity, 1880–1939; Menswear and war,1914–1918; The democratisation of menswear? 1919–1939. Part II Selling Menswear: Tailoring and manliness, 1880–1914; Menswear retailing and war, 1914–1920; The struggle for survival, 1920–1939.

If you have a legal matter regarding landlord-tenant law in South King County, including Auburn, Covington, Enumclaw, Federal Way, Kent, Renton or Tukwila, or Seattle, Bellevue or Tacoma, Hanis Irvine Prothero's landlord-tenant attorney's can help.
The Landlord-Tenant Act contains specific procedural steps for landlords to follow when evicting tenants. Landlord-Tenant attorneys require an understanding of the Landlord-Tenant Act and being up-to-date on the constant changes being made in tenant laws.
The landlord-tenant attorneys at Hanis Irvine Prothero, have the knowledge and tools to navigate those procedures, making the process smooth, quick, and cost effective for our clients, saving them time and money.
The Landlord-Tenant Act guides both residential and commercial leases. When dealing with residential leases, it is important to understand the requirements of the Act in order to create an effective lease agreement, as well as how to properly enforce the lease. This is particularly important when it is necessary to evict a tenant. Brian Hanis will help prevent unnecessary headaches by working with landlords throughout the process, addressing issues involving deposits, utilities, and timely receipt of payment when creating the landlord-tenant relationship through a lease agreement. We also provide the proper notices and guidance through the unlawful detainer action process, including arrangements with the Sheriff when a physical eviction is required.
In most respects, commercial leases are guided more by the terms of the lease agreement than by statutes. It is important to understand the impact a commercial lease may have on an individual or business before entering into one. Our attorneys' experience in creating and dealing with commercial leases can help both landlords and tenants in understanding the impact of such leases, and in foreseeing issues that may arise in the future, helping to prevent them from occurring.
Our landlord-tenant attorneys will evaluate the individual situation to determine the most reasonable and efficient resolution to what is often a highly stressful and urgent conflict. Our attorneys will personally handle the services of all necessary and appropriate notices; will submit in a timely manner all paperwork required by the Court; will note, attend, and argue at any required hearings on the matter; and will represent you fully in all stages of the process. This ensures that our clients can keep their focus on the other tasks necessary to run a successful business of leasing space. Please contact Brian Hanis if we can be of assistance to you with your landlord-tenant matter.

Abstract(s): We study electromagnetic scattering and subsequent plasmonic excitations in periodic grids of graphene ribbons. To address this problem, we develop an analytical method to describe the plasmon-assisted absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a periodic structure of graphene ribbons forming a diffraction grating for THz and mid-IR light. The major advantage of this method lies in its ability to accurately describe the excitation of graphene surface plasmons (GSPs) in one-dimensional (1D) graphene gratings without the use of both time-consuming, and computationally-demanding full-wave numerical simulations. We thus provide analytical expressions for the reflectance, transmittance and plasmon-enhanced absorbance spectra, which can be readily evaluated in any personal laptop with little-to-none programming. We also introduce a semi-analytical method to benchmark our previous results and further compare the theoretical data with spectra taken from experiments, to which we observe a very good agreement. These theoretical tools may therefore be applied to design new experiments and cutting-edge nanophotonic devices based on graphene plasmonics.

Common Viral Diseases of...
Fish can be split into two major groups: cartilaginous fish (eg, sharks and stingrays) and bony fish. Bony fish commonly kept as pets or display animals usually belong to one of the two subcohorts of Ostariophysi or Neoteleostei.
For an overview of common parasitic and viral diseases of aquarium fish, see Table: Common Parasitic Diseases of Selected Fish Orders and Families Common Parasitic Diseases of Selected Fish Orders and Families and Common Viral Diseases of Selected Fish Orders and Families Common Viral Diseases of Selected Fish Orders and Families .
Ostariophysi includes popular aquarium fish that belong to the families Cyprinidae and Loricaridae and the order Characiformes.
Fish that belong to this subcohort are considered to be basal fish; this does not mean they are primitive. They have a unique chemical alarm system associated with their skin. If the epithelium is damaged, a material called schreckstoff is released by specialized club cells in the epidermis. It induces a flight response when detected by nearby related fish. These fish also have cellular bone, which lends itself well to fracture stabilization techniques.
Ostariophysans are physostomous, which means they have a pneumatic duct that connects the anterior lobe of the gas bladder to the dorsum of the esophagus.
Another unique feature of ostariophysans is the presence of a Weberian apparatus, which amplifies sound. This apparatus consists primarily of a small series of auditory bones connected to the gas bladder.
The Cyprinidae Family of Aquarium Fish
The family Cyprinidae contains more fish species than any other family of freshwater fish, and many are popular as pet fish. Cyprinids have a widespread distribution, including Asia and North America. Representative cyprinids include goldfish, koi, barbs, danios, most of the freshwater sharks (eg, redtail, rainbow, and bala), and rasboras.
The primary distinguishing anatomic features of this family are the lack of a stomach and a dual-lobed gas bladder. They also often have a diffuse hepatopancreas, and the posterior kidney is usually positioned between the two lobes of the gas bladder. The absence of a stomach means attention must be given to feeding practices, and the bioavailability of some oral drugs may be lower. Cyprinids benefit from several feedings per day. Related to feeding, buoyancy control is a common problem in fancy goldfish such as orandas and ryukins due to aerophagia. This can be avoided by feeding sinking feeds.
Mycobacterial disease is a frequent problem in zebrafish (danio) research colonies but can also be seen in other cyprinids. Columnaris disease, caused by Flavobacterium columnare, is frequently a cause of high mortality in koi and many other cyprinids. Edwardsiella ictaluri is also a problem in zebrafish. Erysipelothrix sp is a frequent cause of bacterial stomatitis in some cyprinids.
Both microsporidia (Pseudoloma), a fungus, and Pseudocapillaria tomentosa, a nematode, are parasites of concern in zebrafish.
The Characiforme Order of Aquarium Fish
Characiformes is an order that contains many important families of fish that are kept as aquarium fish or in public displays. The primary representatives of this order are the tetras (neon, cardinal, etc). Unlike the cyprinids, characins have a stomach and pyloric caeca. They usually have a single-chambered gas bladder. Although they are similar to the smaller cyprinids externally, most members of Characiformes have a small adipose fin.
Mycobacteriosis, columnaris, and Erysipelothrix spp are common bacterial diseases of characins.
Microsporidia (Pleistophora and others) are fungal parasites of concern in many tetras.
The Loricariidae Family of Aquarium Fish
Originating from South America, this family contains the popular armored catfish, the plecos (short for plecostomus) and the small Otocinclus commonly kept in planted tanks. Their scales are modified into plate-like scutes. They usually have a ventrally located mouth. Most are omnivorous, with some being herbivorous. Although some plecos such as the genus Panaque are said to be obligate wood-eaters in the hobby literature, some sources indicate this is not true. Accordingly, these fish have a long intestine. Many of the plecos are able to obtain oxygen through their stomach after swallowing air at the water surface.
The Callichthyidae Family of Aquarium Fish
Another group of popular armored catfish, including the genus Corydoras, belongs to this family. Like the loricariids, the scales of these fish are modified into armor-like scutes. They have small barbels on either side of the mouth. Axillary glands are located beneath the skin of the shoulder and are the source of the venom that causes punctures by their pectoral fins to be painful. These fish often scurry to the water surface to ingest air; oxygen is then absorbed via the intestine.
Corydoras spp appear to be very susceptible to infection with F columnare.
Many popular aquarium fish belong to families in Neoteleostei, such as Cichlidae, Poeciliidae, and Osphronemidae.
This subcohort of fish families contains the more advanced fish. Unlike the ostariophysans, the members of this superorder do not have alarm signal cells in their epidermis. In addition, neoteleostans have acellular bone and lack the Weberian apparatus. Most have a single-chambered gas bladder and are physoclistous, which means the gas bladder does not have a connection to the esophagus except at hatching.
The Cichlidae Family of Aquarium Fish
The Cichlidae is a large family that contains many popular aquarium fish, including the freshwater angelfish, discus, and oscar. Most cichlid species originate from Central or South America or Africa. These fish are often very colorful, particularly those originating from the African Rift Lakes. Many cichlid species are aggressive and territorial, requiring substantial cover to minimize injury caused by interspecific aggression. Wild-caught Amazonian cichlids (eg, freshwater angelfish and discus) generally prefer soft water and slightly acidic environments, whereas most African Rift Lake species thrive under hard water and slightly basic conditions.
Cichlids have a single-chambered gas bladder, which often is severely reduced in riverine species from Africa.
Cichlids are usually hardy and well adapted to aquariums. Many species are prone to intestinal parasitism from the flagellate Spironucleus. African cichlids may be infected with Cryptobia iubilans, which causes granulomatous gastritis, and some affected fish become extremely emaciated. Monogeneans are common findings on the gills of tank-raised discus.
The Poeciliidae Family of Aquarium Fish
The Poeciliidae are another popular family of aquarium fish, which includes guppies, swordtails, platies, and mollies. Some are euryhaline, such as the guppy and the molly, whereas the swordtail and platy are stenohaline to freshwater. These fish are adapted to feed primarily at the water surface.
Poeciliids are susceptible to the bacterial diseases F columnare and epitheliocystis.
The Osphronemidae Family of Aquarium Fish
The Osphronemidae family, which includes gourami, paradise fish, and bettas, is well-adapted to life in shallow, slow-moving to stagnant water. This group of fish has a unique air-breathing apparatus often called a labyrinth organ that consists of plates covered in respiratory epithelium. It is located above the gills in the branchial cavity and is deliberately filled with air when these fish rise to the air-water interface. The bulk of the oxygen required is obtained via the labyrinth organ, and if these fish are held so they cannot reach the air-water interface, they will drown.
Spironucleus and the endocommensal opalinid Protoopalina are often seen in the intestine.
These fish are susceptible to F columnare.

CHAPTER I. ON THE ARIZONA HILLS
I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no resurrection. I do not know why I should fear death, I who have died twice and am still alive; but yet I have the same horror of it as you who have never died, and it is because of this terror of death, I believe, that I am so convinced of my mortality.
And because of this conviction I have determined to write down the story of the interesting periods of my life and of my death. I cannot explain the phenomena; I can only set down here in the words of an ordinary soldier of fortune a chronicle of the strange events that befell me during the ten years that my dead body lay undiscovered in an Arizona cave.
I have never told this story, nor shall mortal man see this manuscript until after I have passed over for eternity. I know that the average human mind will not believe what it cannot grasp, and so I do not purpose being pilloried by the public, the pulpit, and the press, and held up as a colossal liar when I am but telling the simple truths which some day science will substantiate. Possibly the suggestions which I gained upon Mars, and the knowledge which I can set down in this chronicle, will aid in an earlier understanding of the mysteries of our sister planet; mysteries to you, but no longer mysteries to me.
My name is John Carter; I am better known as Captain Jack Carter of Virginia. At the close of the Civil War I found myself possessed of several hundred thousand dollars (Confederate) and a captain's commission in the cavalry arm of an army which no longer existed; the servant of a state which had vanished with the hopes of the South. Masterless, penniless, and with my only means of livelihood, fighting, gone, I determined to work my way to the southwest and attempt to retrieve my fallen fortunes in a search for gold.
I spent nearly a year prospecting in company with another Confederate officer, Captain James K. Powell of Richmond. We were extremely fortunate, for late in the winter of 1865, after many hardships and privations, we located the most remarkable gold-bearing quartz vein that our wildest dreams had ever pictured. Powell, who was a mining engineer by education, stated that we had uncovered over a million dollars worth of ore in a trifle over three months.
As our equipment was crude in the extreme we decided that one of us must return to civilization, purchase the necessary machinery and return with a sufficient force of men properly to work the mine.
As Powell was familiar with the country, as well as with the mechanical requirements of mining we determined that it would be best for him to make the trip. It was agreed that I was to hold down our claim against the remote possibility of its being jumped by some wandering prospector.
On March 3, 1866, Powell and I packed his provisions on two of our burros, and bidding me good-bye he mounted his horse, and started down the mountainside toward the valley, across which led the first stage of his journey.
The morning of Powell's departure was, like nearly all Arizona mornings, clear and beautiful; I could see him and his little pack animals picking their way down the mountainside toward the valley, and all during the morning I would catch occasional glimpses of them as they topped a hog back or came out upon a level plateau. My last sight of Powell was about three in the afternoon as he entered the shadows of the range on the opposite side of the valley.
Some half hour later I happened to glance casually across the valley and was much surprised to note three little dots in about the same place I had last seen my friend and his two pack animals. I am not given to needless worrying, but the more I tried to convince myself that all was well with Powell, and that the dots I had seen on his trail were antelope or wild horses, the less I was able to assure myself.
Since we had entered the territory we had not seen a hostile Indian, and we had, therefore, become careless in the extreme, and were wont to ridicule the stories we had heard of the great numbers of these vicious marauders that were supposed to haunt the trails, taking their toll in lives and torture of every white party which fell into their merciless clutches.
Powell, I knew, was well armed and, further, an experienced Indian fighter; but I too had lived and fought for years among the Sioux in the North, and I knew that his chances were small against a party of cunning trailing Apaches. Finally I could endure the suspense no longer, and, arming myself with my two Colt revolvers and a carbine, I strapped two belts of cartridges about me and catching my saddle horse, started down the trail taken by Powell in the morning.
As soon as I reached comparatively level ground I urged my mount into a canter and continued this, where the going permitted, until, close upon dusk, I discovered the point where other tracks joined those of Powell. They were the tracks of unshod ponies, three of them, and the ponies had been galloping.
I followed rapidly until, darkness shutting down, I was forced to await the rising of the moon, and given an opportunity to speculate on the question of the wisdom of my chase. Possibly I had conjured up impossible dangers, like some nervous old housewife, and when I should catch up with Powell would get a good laugh for my pains. However, I am not prone to sensitiveness, and the following of a sense of duty, wherever it may lead, has always been a kind of fetich with me throughout my life; which may account for the honors bestowed upon me by three republics and the decorations and friendships of an old and powerful emperor and several lesser kings, in whose service my sword has been red many a time.
About nine o'clock the moon was sufficiently bright for me to proceed on my way and I had no difficulty in following the trail at a fast walk, and in some places at a brisk trot until, about midnight, I reached the water hole where Powell had expected to camp. I came upon the spot unexpectedly, finding it entirely deserted, with no signs of having been recently occupied as a camp.
I was interested to note that the tracks of the pursuing horsemen, for such I was now convinced they must be, continued after Powell with only a brief stop at the hole for water; and always at the same rate of speed as his.
I was positive now that the trailers were Apaches and that they wished to capture Powell alive for the fiendish pleasure of the torture, so I urged my horse onward at a most dangerous pace, hoping against hope that I would catch up with the red rascals before they attacked him.
Further speculation was suddenly cut short by the faint report of two shots far ahead of me. I knew that Powell would need me now if ever, and I instantly urged my horse to his topmost speed up the narrow and difficult mountain trail.
I had forged ahead for perhaps a mile or more without hearing further sounds, when the trail suddenly debouched onto a small, open plateau near the summit of the pass. I had passed through a narrow, overhanging gorge just before entering suddenly upon this table land, and the sight which met my eyes filled me with consternation and dismay.
The little stretch of level land was white with Indian tepees, and there were probably half a thousand red warriors clustered around some object near the center of the camp. Their attention was so wholly riveted to this point of interest that they did not notice me, and I easily could have turned back into the dark recesses of the gorge and made my escape with perfect safety. The fact, however, that this thought did not occur to me until the following day removes any possible right to a claim to heroism to which the narration of this episode might possibly otherwise entitle me.
I do not believe that I am made of the stuff which constitutes heroes, because, in all of the hundreds of instances that my voluntary acts have placed me face to face with death, I cannot recall a single one where any alternative step to that I took occurred to me until many hours later. My mind is evidently so constituted that I am subconsciously forced into the path of duty without recourse to tiresome mental processes. However that may be, I have never regretted that cowardice is not optional with me.
In this instance I was, of course, positive that Powell was the center of attraction, but whether I thought or acted first I do not know, but within an instant from the moment the scene broke upon my view I had whipped out my revolvers and was charging down upon the entire army of warriors, shooting rapidly, and whooping at the top of my lungs. Singlehanded, I could not have pursued better tactics, for the red men, convinced by sudden surprise that not less than a regiment of regulars was upon them, turned and fled in every direction for their bows, arrows, and rifles.
The view which their hurried routing disclosed filled me with apprehension and with rage. Under the clear rays of the Arizona moon lay Powell, his body fairly bristling with the hostile arrows of the braves. That he was already dead I could not but be convinced, and yet I would have saved his body from mutilation at the hands of the Apaches as quickly as I would have saved the man himself from death.
Riding close to him I reached down from the saddle, and grasping his cartridge belt drew him up across the withers of my mount. A backward glance convinced me that to return by the way I had come would be more hazardous than to continue across the plateau, so, putting spurs to my poor beast, I made a dash for the opening to the pass which I could distinguish on the far side of the table land.
The Indians had by this time discovered that I was alone and I was pursued with imprecations, arrows, and rifle balls. The fact that it is difficult to aim anything but imprecations accurately by moonlight, that they were upset by the sudden and unexpected manner of my advent, and that I was a rather rapidly moving target saved me from the various deadly projectiles of the enemy and permitted me to reach the shadows of the surrounding peaks before an orderly pursuit could be organized.
My horse was traveling practically unguided as I knew that I had probably less knowledge of the exact location of the trail to the pass than he, and thus it happened that he entered a defile which led to the summit of the range and not to the pass which I had hoped would carry me to the valley and to safety. It is probable, however, that to this fact I owe my life and the remarkable experiences and adventures which befell me during the following ten years.
My first knowledge that I was on the wrong trail came when I heard the yells of the pursuing savages suddenly grow fainter and fainter far off to my left.
I knew then that they had passed to the left of the jagged rock formation at the edge of the plateau, to the right of which my horse had borne me and the body of Powell.
I drew rein on a little level promontory overlooking the trail below and to my left, and saw the party of pursuing savages disappearing around the point of a neighboring peak.
I knew the Indians would soon discover that they were on the wrong trail and that the search for me would be renewed in the right direction as soon as they located my tracks.
I had gone but a short distance further when what seemed to be an excellent trail opened up around the face of a high cliff. The trail was level and quite broad and led upward and in the general direction I wished to go. The cliff arose for several hundred feet on my right, and on my left was an equal and nearly perpendicular drop to the bottom of a rocky ravine.
I had followed this trail for perhaps a hundred yards when a sharp turn to the right brought me to the mouth of a large cave. The opening was about four feet in height and three to four feet wide, and at this opening the trail ended.
It was now morning, and, with the customary lack of dawn which is a startling characteristic of Arizona, it had become daylight almost without warning.
Dismounting, I laid Powell upon the ground, but the most painstaking examination failed to reveal the faintest spark of life. I forced water from my canteen between his dead lips, bathed his face and rubbed his hands, working over him continuously for the better part of an hour in the face of the fact that I knew him to be dead.
I was very fond of Powell; he was thoroughly a man in every respect; a polished southern gentleman; a staunch and true friend; and it was with a feeling of the deepest grief that I finally gave up my crude endeavors at resuscitation.
Leaving Powell's body where it lay on the ledge I crept into the cave to reconnoiter. I found a large chamber, possibly a hundred feet in diameter and thirty or forty feet in height; a smooth and well-worn floor, and many other evidences that the cave had, at some remote period, been inhabited. The back of the cave was so lost in dense shadow that I could not distinguish whether there were openings into other apartments or not.
As I was continuing my examination I commenced to feel a pleasant drowsiness creeping over me which I attributed to the fatigue of my long and strenuous ride, and the reaction from the excitement of the fight and the pursuit. I felt comparatively safe in my present location as I knew that one man could defend the trail to the cave against an army.
I soon became so drowsy that I could scarcely resist the strong desire to throw myself on the floor of the cave for a few moments' rest, but I knew that this would never do, as it would mean certain death at the hands of my red friends, who might be upon me at any moment. With an effort I started toward the opening of the cave only to reel drunkenly against a side wall, and from there slip prone upon the floor.
CHAPTER II. THE ESCAPE OF THE DEAD
A sense of delicious dreaminess overcame me, my muscles relaxed, and I was on the point of giving way to my desire to sleep when the sound of approaching horses reached my ears. I attempted to spring to my feet but was horrified to discover that my muscles refused to respond to my will. I was now thoroughly awake, but as unable to move a muscle as though turned to stone. It was then, for the first time, that I noticed a slight vapor filling the cave. It was extremely tenuous and only noticeable against the opening which led to daylight. There also came to my nostrils a faintly pungent odor, and I could only assume that I had been overcome by some poisonous gas, but why I should retain my mental faculties and yet be unable to move I could not fathom.
I lay facing the opening of the cave and where I could see the short stretch of trail which lay between the cave and the turn of the cliff around which the trail led. The noise of the approaching horses had ceased, and I judged the Indians were creeping stealthily upon me along the little ledge which led to my living tomb. I remember that I hoped they would make short work of me as I did not particularly relish the thought of the innumerable things they might do to me if the spirit prompted them.
I had not long to wait before a stealthy sound apprised me of their nearness, and then a war-bonneted, paint-streaked face was thrust cautiously around the shoulder of the cliff, and savage eyes looked into mine. That he could see me in the dim light of the cave I was sure for the early morning sun was falling full upon me through the opening.
The fellow, instead of approaching, merely stood and stared; his eyes bulging and his jaw dropped. And then another savage face appeared, and a third and fourth and fifth, craning their necks over the shoulders of their fellows whom they could not pass upon the narrow ledge. Each face was the picture of awe and fear, but for what reason I did not know, nor did I learn until ten years later. That there were still other braves behind those who regarded me was apparent from the fact that the leaders passed back whispered word to those behind them.
Suddenly a low but distinct moaning sound issued from the recesses of the cave behind me, and, as it reached the ears of the Indians, they turned and fled in terror, panic-stricken. So frantic were their efforts to escape from the unseen thing behind me that one of the braves was hurled headlong from the cliff to the rocks below. Their wild cries echoed in the canyon for a short time, and then all was still once more.
The sound which had frightened them was not repeated, but it had been sufficient as it was to start me speculating on the possible horror which lurked in the shadows at my back. Fear is a relative term and so I can only measure my feelings at that time by what I had experienced in previous positions of danger and by those that I have passed through since; but I can say without shame that if the sensations I endured during the next few minutes were fear, then may God help the coward, for cowardice is of a surety its own punishment.
To be held paralyzed, with one's back toward some horrible and unknown danger from the very sound of which the ferocious Apache warriors turn in wild stampede, as a flock of sheep would madly flee from a pack of wolves, seems to me the last word in fearsome predicaments for a man who had ever been used to fighting for his life with all the energy of a powerful physique.
Several times I thought I heard faint sounds behind me as of somebody moving cautiously, but eventually even these ceased, and I was left to the contemplation of my position without interruption. I could but vaguely conjecture the cause of my paralysis, and my only hope lay in that it might pass off as suddenly as it had fallen upon me.
Late in the afternoon my horse, which had been standing with dragging rein before the cave, started slowly down the trail, evidently
