Budget Committee Clears Bill Package Addressing Long-Term Care in New Jersey
Joseph Cryan Joseph Vitale M. Teresa Ruiz News & Releases Richard J. Codey Senator
TRENTON – In light of the devastating impact COVID-19 has had on our long-term care community and the subsequent investigation by Manatt Health, the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee cleared a series of bills to improve conditions, preparation and outcomes in New Jersey's LTC facilities.
Several bills incorporate recommendations for improving conditions and response at long-term care facilities outlined in Manatt Health's report on long-term care in New Jersey.
"COVID-19 has taken an immense toll on our long-term care community," said Senator Joseph Vitale (D-Middlesex), Chair of the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee. "This legislation is a combination of Manatt Health's recommendations and the committee's extensive discussions with stakeholders and concerned residents. This community is comprised of some of our state's most vulnerable residents – we can and must do better for them than we did at the onset of this pandemic."
"The fatal consequences of the COVID pandemic fell the hardest on nursing homes, veterans' homes and other long term care facilities that are home to our most vulnerable population of New Jersey's residents," said Senator Joe Cryan (D-Union). "It is tragically obvious that there was an absence of safeguards to better prevent and respond to the outbreak. There are hard lessons to be learned that we should use to be prepared for a possible second wave and to help prevent this from happening again. These proposals can begin the process of developing action plans to protect the health and the lives of employees and residents of long term care facilities."
"The staff at our long-term care facilities have been on the front lines of this pandemic since it struck in March. They have provided care and invaluable companionship to residents unable to see their friends and family, all while putting their own health and wellbeing at risk," said Senator Ruiz (D-Essex). "Much like the hazard pay we see in other industries, this legislation would provide supplemental compensation for the incredible work they have been doing these past several months."
"COVID-19 devastated our long-term care community and it pains me to hear about how helpless the residents and staff members were at the height of this pandemic," said Senator Codey (D-Essex). "Establishing the New Jersey Task Force on Long-Term Care Quality and Safety would allow us to develop and implement improvements across the board. Our most vulnerable residents and their caretakers deserve better and this legislation would make sure improvements are realized."
The following bills passed the committee today:
S-537 (Codey): would require that the temperature within emergency shelters, rooming and boarding houses, nursing homes, and residential care facilities be maintained within a range of 65 degrees through 81 degrees Fahrenheit.
S-2758 (Cryan): would establish minimum wage requirements for certain long-term care facility staff and establish a direct care ratio requirement for nursing homes.
S-2785 (Gopal): would require long-term care facilities to adopt and implement written policies, provide for the practical availability of technology to facility residents and ensure that appropriate staff and other capabilities are in place, to prevent the social isolation of facility residents.
S-2786 (Weinberg): would allow per diem health care workers working within long-term care facilities to accrue paid sick leave.
S-2790 (Cryan-Vitale): would establish certain requirements concerning the state's preparedness and response to infectious disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics affecting long-term care facilities. The bill would establish the Long-Term Care Emergency Operations Center (LTCEOC) in the Department of Health (DOH), which would serve as the centralized command for long-term care facility response efforts and communications during infectious disease outbreaks.
S-2813 (Vitale): would establish a temporary rate adjustment for nursing facilities to support wage increases and to cover costs related to COVID-19 preparedness. The bill would make a one-time appropriation of $62.3 million from the General Fund to the Department of Human Services for the purpose of putting the bill into effect.

If you will allow me to be blunt, I must confess that I didn't really like this record much at all when I first listened to it. I felt that it was a little bit 'meh' to be honest. It didn't grab me like I hoped it would, certainly given the description applied to the band by the esteemed Prog Magazine.
I was thoroughly disappointed with what I heard. It lacked immediate melody, panache and that intangible je ne sais quoi. Or so I thought. Not content to shelve this record after such a short period of time, I persevered when perhaps I wanted to listen to something else. Such is my commitment to my website, my readers and the bands themselves. And my decision has paid off handsomely. There remain a few aspects of 'Invicta' that I'm less keen on but, by far and away, my overriding feelings towards this record are positive.
At the very centre of my affections is not the fifteen-minute epic penultimate track, 'The Devil's Coin' as you might think. Instead, the highlight as far as I'm concerned and the reason why this album finally started to click into place is the superb 'Line In The Sand'.
Situated around the midway point of the record, this near-ten-minute composition is a quieter, moodier and more atmospheric piece than what's gone before it. The opening few moments are shrouded in synth-led electronic ambience. It then gives way to a delicate guitar melody with Matt Young's voice imperious above it, commanding the proceedings with a restrained but rich delivery; easily one of his best performances on the album. The melody is actually rather poignant and emotional, catching me off-guard occasionally, especially as it is gently and smoothly built upon. There is sufficient space for the drums (Kirk Brandham) and bass (Matt Young) to create an interesting rhythmic spine, only to become more elaborate as the song meanders almost effortlessly into a more progressive and indulgent instrumental segment at the midway point.
All of a sudden, the song shifts again, this time returning to the opening melody upon which the guitar is allowed to take flight. It begins tentatively, but builds to offer a majestic and spine-tingling extended solo, full of feeling and underlining the greater emotion contained within the composition as a whole. It is then brought to a close via an impactful, highly-charged crescendo, once again giving me chills in the right way.
However, in what appears to be true Hekz style, it is impossible to say that the aforementioned song is typical of the music on 'Invicta'. That's because, as the Prog Magazine quote implies, Hekz are not ones to sit back and deliver an album's worth of similar, repetitive music. Far from it. Indeed, each of the ten tracks on this record has a very different feel to it. There are threads that run through the record that are unmistakably Hekz, such as an unmistakeable theatricality and a healthy, unreserved respect of the greats of 70s and 80s prog. However, built around these core principles are plenty of other ideas and experimentation that keep us listeners on our toes. In fact, this could well be the most diverse and ambitious Hekz release to date, and that's saying something!
That said, 'For Our Lives' is easily the most accessible and straight-forward sounding song on 'Invicta'. The chorus is huge with a capital 'H' with hooks galore. In fact, it's the song I now find myself singing around the house or first thing in the morning when I wake. I certainly hear a touch of Dream Theater in it, via the keys of James Messenger, as well as a lead guitar solo that has a definite 80s, Gun 'N' Roses et al vibe.
By contrast, 'The Light Fantastic' is an urgent, up-tempo and relatively complex composition. The opening segment is intriguing with plenty of different textures and an interesting time signature. The riffs courtesy of guitarsits Al Beveridge and Tom Smith are powerful, whilst Young deploys several vocal deliveries. If I'm honest, I'm not a fan of his higher-pitched tones, which are so high-pitched that they make my eyes water. Nevertheless, the ambition demonstrated within the song is impressive as it flits from idea to idea in the blink of an eye.
Not content with the variety they have already offered, 'Ultimatum' takes the UK quintet into yet more new territory. After a quiet, contemplative start, Hekz decide to dabble with the djent subgenre via a couple of heavy and rather arresting riffs. I'm reminded of latter day Haken at this point, which can only be a good thing in my opinion. Again, the melodies that emerge after a few spins are wonderful, as are the guitar solos and keyboard sounds that bathe large parts of the track.
It may not be my favourite song, but the epic 15-minute 'The Devil's Coin' is undeniably a very strong affair. And when I say 'epic', I mean it – this song is bristling with different ideas, moving between each sequence with a deftness and confidence that's impressive. And despite the multitude of textures, tempos and varying levels of heaviness and intensity, the composition retains cohesiveness, assisted by some strong melodies and a genuine flow.
Despite the sticky start and a persistent niggle or two, I have grown to really like 'Invicta'. It is so gratifying to know that there are still some bands here in the UK who are flying the flag for proper progressive music, the kind that is both challenging and ultimately accessible with a little effort. It is a difficult skill to master, but with 'Invicta', Hekz have ably demonstrated that they are more than up to the task.

Bitcoin mining is the process through new bitcoins get created while the transactions on the blockchain are being verified by the miners. The mining machines are solving complex mathematical problems in order to decide the validity of a transaction which requires either GPU, CPU or ASIC hardware to run continuously.
If somebody wants to join the cryptocurrency mining business but does not necessarily want to deal with the noise and heat the mining hardware can cause. If they want to forget all the maintenance involved with the mining rigs, cloud mining is the best opportunity to still enjoy the benefits of participating in mining. During the cloud mining activity, clients can purchase hashing power from a provider in exchange for certain daily or monthly fees. After the contract is started, the earnings from the mining – that is running on the mining rigs of the cloud mining provider – benefits directly the client's account.
There are many cloud mining providers on the market who offer wide range of services. Prospective clients however must be very careful when choosing the right provider as there are several scammer working on the market whose only goal is to build a ponzi scheme or directly steal bitcoins.
When looking for possible cloud mining providers it is advisable to always check their 'About' section on the website. This page can tell a lot about the company, especially if there is no information on the site. If somebody is trying to hide themselves from the public on a market where trust is one of the main principle of the industry, it should be a warning sign that the company might not be providing legitimate services. Many providers just list general mission statements and nothing specific about the background of the firm, such as owners, founders or executive officers. It also worth doing a quick search whether the cloud mining names are coming up on and forums as unsatisfied customers are usually very loud in terms of complaining.
The mining facility is the heart of a cloud mining company. This is where they can buy the client's trust or loose it forever. Due to security reasons, the cloud mining providers never disclose the exact location of the farms, to protect the equipment from damages and theft. However if the company doesn't even provide the city where the mining rigs are located, that should be again a red flag, that the hardware, which should provide the cloud hashing power, doesn't even exist .
As proof, providers often post pictures of the facility, these images worth careful examination. The pictures can tell a lot about the environment of the farm, like whether the heating is adjusted regularly and the electricity supply is sufficient. They can also provide information on the overall scale of the cloud mining business as the more machines they have, the more hashing power they can sell over the cloud. If the rigs are not organized and cables are hanging everywhere, it is not certain the provider can guarantee 100% uptime. As when a mining rig goes wrong, it can take a lot of time to fix it, if the rig is not even reachable.
Causion: The term cloud mining company is often abused by bitcoin high yield investment programs, which are nothing more than online scam sites. Those website interfaces trick peole into thinking they'd be serious investment companies, making their money basically with cloud mining or crypto trading. But that's mostly not true as they use to be ponzi schemes which only live from user deposits and only as long as new users make new deposits, so the older users can get parts of those new deposits as their "return on investment". Those Bitcoin HYIP sites mostly only last for a couple of weeks till they are again offline. Here is an overview about such investment sites running at the moment. So stay away from them – those are no real cloud mining firms.
Cloud mining providers are usually specified for bitcoin mining under SHA256 algorithm. However there are some company on the market who offers services for other altcoins under scrypt and X11 algorithms as well.
Depending whether the provider has it's own pool, they can restrict the free selection of mining pools to their own pool only. This can significantly reduce the earnings from the mining activity if their pool is not profitable enough. The pool fees are around 1-2% and the payouts can be share based (PPS) or pay par last N share based (PPLNS).
It also worth checking the security level of the platform, since significant amount on money can be stored on the website, in terms of the mined coins. Using CloudFlare to protect the site from DDoS attacks is the minimum. It is advisable to use two factor authentication whenever it is possible and try to reduce the amount of mined coins in the wallet on the platform. Have them stored rather in cold bitcoin wallets. The registration process gives a first impression about the security measures of the site. If no captcha is asked for and the email confirmation includes the password given are strong signs that the service provider probably doesn't care much about safety and security.
Eobot offers cloud SETI program to run the PC power to find aliens in the space.
Genesis Mining and Minergate are running automining option which means, the miners are automatically adjusted to always mine the most profitable altcoin available in order to maximize earnings.
At Nicehash clients can buy and sell hashpowers.
At Gigahash there is a possibility to buy old mining rigs for bargains.
OxBTC and Bitminers pays interest on bitcoin deposits.
Another option is to rent a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a real server at a webhosting company and start to mine specific coins on your own real or virtual machine. Of course this requires a lot of knowledge and you need to have the latest knowledge about which hardware to choose and which webhoster allows you to use their machines for crypto mining. This is nothing for beginners or technically uneducated people. If you want to learn more about VPS Mining, check out this website.
The pricing of the cloud mining contracts consist of two elements. One is the regular charge for the contract to obtain the cloud mining service. This fee can be one time fee or paid regularly. The other element of the pricing is the maintenance fee that should cover the electricity and cooling costs of the mining rigs and deducted daily from the earnings. Hashnest and Bitsrapid on the other hand opted to remove maintenance fees and they have built it intp the contract prices.
The pricing range of cloud mining is very wide. The cheapest bitcoin cloud mining contract on the market costs 0.99 USD per GH/s at OxBTC. The average price of the contracts are around 5-15 USD per GH/s. Some provider offers better unit prices if more hashing power is purchased, others just price bigger contracts just like small ones.
It is important to understand that the higher price does not necessarily mean better service, so prospective clients should always examine thoroughly the services of the providers as a whole, not just their prices. Also you should take a look into other options to get your crypto currency – you can just buy it online or you can trade bitcoin and other crypto currencies.
Understanding the bitcoin mining process can be a difficult job due to the process's technical nature. However the providers can ease the decision making of their prospective clients by offering detailed guides on their services.
Many providers does not disclose the price of the contracts before registration on their landing page. In case users does not want to sign up right away, it worth checking the FAQ section and the Terms and Conditions pages to see whether it has information on the prices and fees.
A transparent, easy to use platform can build trust and direct many future clients to the cloud mining providers.
Participating in cloud mining is a great way to earn some side income as well as a fun way to obtain cryptocurrencies. Prospective clients however must pay attention to where they sign up to cloud mining services as there are many scammers and ponzi scheme available online. For those wanting to invest in hyip or ponzi schemes: Think twice if its worth the risk, all hyips / ponzis are scams where only the early adopters win and all others lose. If you enjoy the thrill, try a bitcoin broker instead and test-drive your trading skills.

Velvet Buzzsaw takes a satirical stab at the pretentious fine arts industry, but is undone by its comical and camp style of horror.
Five years after the critically acclaimed thriller Nightcrawler, director Dan Gilroy has once again collaborated with its leading star, Jake Gyllenhaal, in Velvet Buzzsaw.
The movie satirizes the fine arts industry in a clever way that awakens industry figures to the world outside their self-righteous bubble – even if it takes haunted paintings and gory deaths for them to get it.
The beautifully haunting, dark and visceral paintings of a deceased artist is discovered by down-on-her-luck gallery assistant Josephina (Zawe Ashton). Instead of getting rid of them, those wishing to profit from the artist's oeuvre eats them up rabidly, triggering the backstabbing and sneaky deals that typically happen in the industry.
At the center of everything is charismatic, feared art critic Morf Vandewalt (Jake Gyllenhaal), who also becomes entangled in the whole capitalist mess. Their greed slowly leads all those involved to meet their fates, one by one.
Never has art looked so terrifying since Night Gallery, the TV horror series of 1970s America. The haunted paintings of Velvet Buzzsaw possess an exceptional depth and terror that would fit perfectly in the halls of the Rod Serling anthological series.
But the horror in Velvet Buzzsaw is not one that strikes immediate fear in the hearts of viewers. On the contrary, its horrors and scares border the comical and the camp.
In fact, the comical and sometimes childish horrors that Velvet Buzzsaw depicts reminds me of that delightful '90s TV show, Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Paintings that move and murder? A tattoo that kills? An armless art curator? Humans literally becoming art? These all sound like the ideas you might find in a horror flick for kids – only, you know, with more blood.
It's a camp take on the highfalutin fine arts industry, which needs to be injected with some humor and silliness every now and then.
But the film gives us a look into the different jobs in the industry, from gallery owners to curators, artists, gallery staff and to assistants, and most of all, critics. All have their own balls to juggle in the cutthroat industry.
"Critique is so limiting and emotionally draining," says Jake Gyllenhaal's Morf in one scene, effectively describing the job in one sentence.
In an ideal scenario, critique should be free of interference. But in the art world, this is hard to achieve due to the high stakes at play for all those involved.
Morf is sometimes torn and affected by personal biases or conflicting opinions with his peers and even his partners, producing reviews that he knows is not honest, but had to be done as emotional fulfillment for someone in his life.
In one scene, ruthless but sensible gallery owner and friend, Rhodora Haze (played wonderfully by Rene Russo), sarcastically tells Morf, "you are our god", to which Morf responds with a smirk.
In a way, it is true. Art critics hold so much power over the industry that they are treated exceptionally well by industry figures, even to the point of brownnosing.
With that quote, Morf also summarizes the basic sense of integrity that critics should abide by, and one that he should probably practice more.
But then again, because Velvet Buzzsaw is an over-the-top satire, Gyllenhaal's critic is merely an exaggeration of how art critics are seen in real life.
The film also sees a wonderful performance from Daveed Diggs, an actor-singer of the acclaimed musical Hamilton. His character, street artist Damrish, is the antithesis to an industry that cares more about money than true talent and art.
An artist cutting his teeth on the streets, Damrish is averse to the industry and is probably the most down-to-earth and relatable character in Velvet. With his strong ideals born of the streets, he is able to handle the industry vultures better than John Malkovich's Piers, an artist who has depressingly settled into the rut of creating art solely to satisfy the market.
So, how important are one's ideals, and how can one survive with them intact in the art world?
But enough ranting about the industry and the hyperbolic perils of being a critic. I'm sure everyone has their own way of dealing with these issues.
Velvet Buzzsaw is merely an OK horror film. It doesn't ask to be taken seriously. Even if it did, there's no way it can be; it's just too camp.
Production: Netflix, Dease Pictures Inc.

Q: Is it possible to "Turn off" or "Turn on" volatility in C variables? I have two static volatile variables in C and I would like to check them both in a logical statement. However, when I do I get a warning " undefined behavior: the order of volatile accesses is undefined in this statement  1037"
Is it possible to suspend volatility of a C variable for a very brief moment to ensure good data?
Here is the code:
static volatile unsigned char b;
static volatile unsigned char a;

//update the states of the two volatile variables
update_vars( &a);
update_vars( &b);

// check them in a logical statement
// Can I suspend the volatile lable??
if((addr_bit & (a | b)) == 0){
// update another variables
}
else{
// another action
}

I'm thinking about this in the same context of interrupts, whereas you temporary suspend them if you want stable evaluation of the data at a precise moment. Thanks!

A: The volatile property of a variable cannot be disabled.
You need to create a non-volatile copy of each and then operate on those.
unsigned char a_stable = a;
unsigned char b_stable = b;

if((addr_bit & (a_stable | b_stable)) == 0){
    ...

A: To avoid the warning you can break up the C statement, so that each C statement holds only one access to a volatile variable.

Choosing the right type of coconut can help you get the most possible health benefits. There is no real nutritional difference between coconut and shattered coconut -- they are all made by the same process, but the spit coconut comes from the big block. However, the choice of sugar free coconut instead of sugar coconut is indeed effective. Sugar free coconut has lower water content, making it a more concentrated source of nutrition, and also contains less unhealthy sugars.
An ounce of dry coconut, sometimes called dry coconut, contains more than 4.5 grams of fiber, which is 18% of the daily value, while the same amount of sweet dried coconut is less than 3 grams. Dietary fiber can make you feel satiated for a long time, which may make weight loss easier. It may also help to limit the risk of high cholesterol, heart disease, some types of cancer, constipation and other digestive problems.
The dry coconut with no sugar per ounce contains 38% DV of manganese, 11% DV of copper and a small amount of Fe, Mg, P, K, Zn and se. The sugar content of dried coconut is only 13% manganese content and 6% selenium selenium content per share.
Manganese is an antioxidant that helps prevent damage to your cells and heal wounds. It also plays an important role in metabolism and skeleton development. You need copper. This is another antioxidant. It is used to make red blood cells, form collagen, absorb iron and keep your immune system and nerve function normal.
A potential problem of broken coconut is its high fat content, especially its large amount of saturated fat. Each 1 ounce sugar free crushed coconut contains about 18 grams of fat, including 16 grams of saturated fat or 80%DV of saturated fat.
Saturated fat has been associated with increased risk of heart disease and cholesterol. However, the type of saturated fat found in coconuts - known as lauric acid - is different from that found in animal products and may not have the same adverse effects. According to Natalie Digate Muth, a registered dietitian, laurate appears to be a major increase in "good" cholesterol rather than "bad" cholesterol, which makes it different from many other types of saturated fat.
A study published in Lipids in 2009 found that obese women, after eating coconut oil in their diet for 12 weeks, reduced their waistline and had a beneficial change in cholesterol levels after a low calorie diet, rather than the women in the control group who received soy oil, not coconut oil.
Although cutting coconut may have some health and nutritional benefits, you still need to eat it in moderation. Its calories are very high. The sugar free type is 185 ounces per ounce, and the sugar is 128 calories per ounce. Baking your coconut can bring your taste, so you don't need to use as many coconuts as you can in every recipe. Add sugar free coconut to baked foods, oatmeal or Curry Recipes, or to make roast chicken or fish dishes instead of some bread crumbs.

Q: PHP - OAuth base signature So I have got two parameters, Consumer name and api key so I need to generate a signature which is based on my $base and $key variable.
I have commented possible hint for the $key variable but don't know which parameters should I use to generate a key.
Code:
$consumer = 'name_name';                          // Would be consumer key
$secret = 'c7b0ae051a3d4846a75e339d7ad8ff77';    // Would be Api key
$url = 'https://new.site.co.uk/api/list';       // Would be url

    $method = 'GET';

    $base = $method . '&' . rawurlencode($url). '&'
        .rawurlencode("oauth_consumer_key=" . rawurlencode($consumer) . '&'
            .'&oauth_nonce='.rawurlencode($secret)

Luke Bryan was born on July 17, 1976 to a peanut farmer in Leesburg, Georgia. His passion for music started early on, and when he was 14 his parents bought him his first guitar. In Georgia he would perform with local musicians and in musicals when he wasn't writing his own songs for the band he started called Neyami Road. Bryan was influenced by some of the early country greats like George Strait, Conway Twitty and Merle Haggard. Twitty had an exceptional impact on Bryan who spent great effort analyzing the singer's voice, trying to make his own sound as emotional as Twitty's.
When he graduated high school Bryan had the intent of moving to Nashville to pursue his dreams, however tragedy struck when his older brother Chris was killed in a car accident. He stayed home to support his family until 2001 when his father encouraged him to get his dreams back on track. In 2007 Bryan had started to see success but tragedy rocked the family again. Bryan's sister Kelly passed away putting Bryan's career on hold for two years. Bryan is known for his charitable work with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which he often honors in name of his brother and sister. Luke Bryan tickets quickly became a hot commodity with singles like "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)" and "Drunk on You" pleasing audiences interested in both country and pop genres. Over the years he has received numerous nominations and awards. The artist earned his most notable award in 2014 when he won the Academy of Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year award.
Bryan has had several headlining tours, including the Dirt Road Diaries Tour, That's My Kind of Night Tour and Kill The Lights Tour. He also offers cheap tickets to his shows for college students on spring break. These were real cheap Luke Bryan tickets, as he performed a couple of free concerts right on the beach. He has also performed on tours with artists like Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum. You won't have to crash any party, when you purchase cheap Luke Bryan tickets for his next concert!

B-24 Liberator

Load VR Model
B-24 Liberator
The Consolidated B24 Liberator was an American heavy bomber, designed by Consolidated Aircraft in San Diego. The Liberator is the world's most produced heavy bomber, multi-engine aircraft and American military aircraft, which throughout the Second World War saw extensive use in all branches of the American Armed Forces and even some of the Allied forces.
The extensive bombing that took place over the Western European theatre was carried out by B4 liberator aircraft. This also included most of the heavy bombing that was part of the Italian Campaign between 1942-1943.
In early May 1943 Reggio Calabria was subjected to a series of aerial raids, culminating in the 6th May bombings. Two waves of B24 Liberators, totalling fifty aircraft and coming from North Africa, dropped a record 110 tons of bombs over the city, mainly targeting the harbour. One of these B24 aircraft developed engine trouble over the city and after dropping its bomb load the crew decided to fly back to Malta, often used a haven for damaged aircraft returning from Sicily and Italy. Failed landing attempts at Luqa forced the 10-member crew to ditch the plane in the sea. The wheels of the aircraft were lowered when it hit the surface, flipping the plane upside down, and after floating for a few minutes, the tail section sank first and the nose last. One member of the crew remains unaccounted for till today, whilst the other nine survived and were rescued by the Royal Air Force.

The Wreck.
The wreck of the B24 Liberator was discovered in 2015 through a remote sensing survey and lies approximately 1.5km south-west of Marsaxlokk at a depth of 55 metres on a sandy seabed.
The Browning M2 machine guns
The B24 Liberator was armed with a number of 12.7mm Browning M2 machine guns, mostly mounted on turrets, and found in the nose, waist and dorsal positions. The Browning M2 was a heavy machine gun designed towards the end of the First World War, using 12.7mm cartridges. The air-cooled, belt-fed machine gun had a closed bolt firing cycle and was used in variety of positions, in both fixed and flexible mountings in American military aircraft from the 1930s onwards. On the B24 Liberator the Browning M2 could be found fixed in turrets at the nose and dorsal positions, and flexibly mounted at the waist gun positions. This particular machine gun was recovered from the wreck site of the B24 Liberator, and was probably the port waist gun on the plane. Following its recovery, the gun was taken to the conservation laboratory at Heritage Malta. It has since been cleaned of concretions and is currently undergoing the final phases of its conservation.
The Engine
The B24 Liberator was powered by four engines, with two positioned on each wing. These engines were air-cooled, twin-row 14-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R1830 radial engines with 1,000hp each, later replaced with turbo-supercharged versions of the R-1830 of 1,200hp and reaching a speed of 310mph, lending them the name of 'Twin Wasps'. The engines each powered a 3-bladed constant speed propeller, measuring 3.5 metres in diameter. The turbo-charged engine with its oval-shaped cowling would become one of the signature features of the B24 Liberator. This aviation engine was widely used by American aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s, and would become one of the most produced engines in aviation history.
Oxygen Tanks
The crew of the B24 Liberator relied on oxygen masks once reaching a certain altitude. This oxygen was supplied by a high-pressure system that consisted of two batteries of cylinders. One group of 15 cylinders was located under the floor of the flight deck, controlled by a regulator that was on the pilot's floor. The second group of nine cylinders was located behind the mid-upper turret position, controlled by a regulator that was located in front of the right gun window. This system was in place for the eventuality that one battery of cylinders was empty before the other, allowing the remaining battery and its regulator to serve the aircraft and its crew.
The Cockpit
The pilot and co-pilot sat alongside each other in a glazed cockpit, which formed part of a high-mounted stepped flight deck. The pilots had views to the front, side and top of the aircraft, with the pilot seated in the left seat and the co-pilot on the right seat. A navigator and bombardier were also positioned on the lower deck in the nose of the aircraft, which was also glazed and gave the nose gunner spectacular views in the most perilous location on the aircraft. The radio operator was positioned behind the pilots, facing sideways. In some B24 Liberators an upper gun turret was mounted behind the cockpit and operated by a gunner positioned behind the pilots.

Manage Multiple Gmail Accounts with Gmail Manager
Hassle-Free PC
By PCWorld Staff, PCWorld	 Oct 20, 2008 12:46 pm PDT
At the risk of sounding greedy, I have five Gmail accounts. Hey, Google makes the rules, not me. Gmail accounts are free, and there's no limit on how many a single person can have. However, checking all those accounts gets to be pain, what with all the signing in and signing out. That's why I rely on one of my all-time favorite Firefox extensions: Gmail Manager.
True to its name, the add-on lets you manage multiple Gmail accounts from within the comfy confines of your browser. After installing it and configuring your accounts in the Preferences, you'll see a Gmail Manager status bar in the bottom-right corner of the browser window. Mouse over it for a pop-up listing your newest messages. Click it to open Gmail in a new tab. Or right-click it to select a different account.
Gmail Manager has loads of options you can tweak, like new-mail notifications, a numeric unread-mail count, and a pop-up "snippet" box. In short, it does everything you could want short of actually reading your mail for you. This is a killer extension and a must-have for anyone who uses multiple Gmail accounts.

The Anatomy of a Blue-Collar NFL Player
Alex Dunlap@AlexDunlapNFLTwitter LogoContributor IMarch 20, 2013
NFL fans hear the term "blue collar" incessantly. They hear about players who "bring their lunch pails to work" or "wear hard hats," from announcers, from writers and from NFL players themselves.
It is a frustrating term. Why? It seems to refer to a quality most normal people believe everyone should have—willingness to work. Put your head down, make a living and do your job.
But, NFL players can be divas just like everyone else can. NFL players can be drama queens or they can be ambitionless just like the next guy. "Blue collar" doesn't just mean a player makes less money than another. He might make less, but that's not the point. Being a blue-collar player is simply a way of doing things.
It is a common phrase that the NFL "has a 100 percent injury rate" among its players. This weekend, for example, new Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush told Vic Carucci and Dan Leberfeld on Sirius XM NFL Radio that he has not played completely healthy "since peewee football." Being a blue-collar player does not mean having the ability to play hurt. All NFL players must have the ability to play hurt, because they are always playing hurt.
If a player gets through a game relatively "unscathed," let's think about what that means.
For running backs, it's still brutal and just sounds painful. Popular Mechanics has measured some NFL collisions between linebackers and running backs to exceed 150 g's of force. Those are the big hits that feel like getting blindsided by a relatively slow-moving bus. 100 g's or so is easier to imagine. That feels about like jumping off a 10-foot diving board and landing on hard pavement with only football pads to shield you.
A hit at even 50 g's exerts the same force on a human body as an F-16 fighter jet roll.
That's the life of an NFL running back on every play. A blue-collar running back can be the highest-paid player on the team, and it doesn't matter. He will play through injury and take pride in small aspects of the game often overlooked by fans, such as pass protection and selling a great fake.
Blue-collar running backs practice. They set an example in practice, even as veterans who know the playbook in and out. During the season, it is important for running backs to be present and working at least by Wednesdays—just three days removed from the battering described above.
The reason is because Wednesday is when first- and second-down install occurs for the week. Those are obviously primarily running downs, and having the actual personnel that will be taking part during game action helps immensely in practice.
A blue-collar running back doesn't think that taking "mental reps" from the sidelines on Wednesdays is an adequate way of doing things. He understands that having the entire unit in on drills helps everyone—especially younger players—in developing a natural level of comfort and familiarity with the personnel they will be surrounded by come game time.
A common theme in blue-collar players: Unselfishness.
In wide receivers, it is in willingness to sacrifice—not only their statistics, but their bodies. Blue-collar receivers are not afraid of crossing the middle and getting leveled on a dig route. They do not get alligator arms, and they pay strict attention to detail. In a position full of divas and troublemakers, the blue-collar wide receiver puts his head down and executes his assignment.
A blue-collar receiver takes as much pride in blocking downfield for a teammate as he does in making a spectacular grab of his own. Typically, it is easy to identify smaller (or seemingly) less naturally gifted athletes as "blue-collar players" at the wide receiver position. Some guys look like natural athletic specimens, and some guys look like they work at it.
For quarterbacks, a blue-collar presence has nothing to do with money. This is one example where the term "blue collar" fails to adequately do its job as a description. CEOs and corporate vice presidents can be "blue collar" in the same way that a quarterback can. Just because a player, executive or leader in any industry is operating outside of the blue-collar "tax bracket" financially, it does not mean their values cannot be solidly grounded within it.
Lots of millionaires in business grind 90-hour workweeks.
A blue-collar quarterback is "one of the guys." Despite the paycheck and the interviews—the recognition and the endorsement deals—the blue-collar quarterback is no different than the rest of the team, which shares the common goal of winning football games.
A blue-collar quarterback is not a quarterback of the people or the fans, and cannot "craft" a blue-collar persona by partaking in blue-collar activities such as getting drunk in bars or riding motorcycles.
A quarterback is not "blue collar" just because he comes from a financially blue-collar background or plays for a team that boasts a traditionally blue-collar fanbase. A blue-collar quarterback cares more about film and preparation than anything else, and would never throw a teammate or coach under the bus.
A blue-collar quarterback does not care if the world knows that he is playing injured, and sets an example on the practice field. He will always gives teammates the credit for victories and great plays while taking all the blame for things that went wrong.
In linemen, it's motor. That's it. The offensive and defensive lines take a page out of the working man's book that simply reads "show up every day." Blue-collar linemen show up on every play.
They do not get sloppy in their stance when gassed, they do not skimp on their power step and they do not show any signs that their huge bodies are feeling any ill effects of the trenchwarfare that takes place throughout NFL games.
For a lineman, being "blue collar" is being disciplined.
And that's really what we mean when we say "blue collar" in any walk of life. It indicates discipline, adherence to routines and hard work.


Today, we're making the full results of that study available.
Three or more channels leads to better overall performance: we found that marketers using three or more channels in their marketing campaigns earned a 90% higher customer retention rate, and 250% higher engagement and purchase rates.
Customers who engage with an omnichannel experience spend 13% more: in an omnichannel experience with three or more channels, customers are likely to spend 13% more than those who experienced just one channel.
Custom automation workflows tend to perform best overall: when comparing automation workflows, custom workflows had the highest click through rate and the second highest open rate after order confirmation workflows.
Targeted campaigns yield a much higher ROI: in comparing segmented with non-segmented campaigns, we found that segmented campaigns not only provided a 34.7% higher open rate, but they offered 26.5% more orders than non-segmented campaigns.
Campaigns sent in the beginning of the month have better performance: In comparing email campaign performance, email campaigns had better performance during the first 10 days of the month.
Dynamic signup forms work best for conversion: In list building, the more dynamic the sign up form, the better. Landing pages worked the best with nearly 25% success rate, followed by gamified Wheel of Fortune at 12.74%, and popups at 4.22%.
While the move to omnichannel has been anything but gradual, there are many marketers that still haven't taken the plunge.
We set out to see if our own customers were experiencing any results from their omnichannel campaigns, and equipped with new data, we found that our results mirrored many of the studies others have also performed.
We took a look at marketers who used three or more channels in their campaigns and compared them to marketers who typically only used one channel.
According to our data, single-channel marketers counted only 34.8% customer retention rate, while the retention rate for marketers using three or more channels was over 66%. This data demonstrates how using more channels to engage customers builds customer loyalty.
In looking at our omnichannel marketing statistics, we also found that these customers weren't just more loyal, they typically spent more on average than customers who only engaged with one channel. In fact, customers that interacted with three or more channels had an AOV (average order value) of $66.31, 13% higher than the AOV for customers who did not ($58.70). In fact, in comparing pluri-channel to single-channel campaigns, we also found that engagement and purchase rate was significantly higher in proportion to the number of channels used in a campaign.
Marketers using three or more channels in their campaigns earned an 18.96% engagement rate on average, compared to single-channel marketers who earned only 5.4% (meaning 250% more engagement from pluri-channel campaigns).
What's more, these campaigns also had a much higher purchase rate than single-channel campaigns. The purchase rate for marketers using only one channel in their campaign came in at 2.56%, while marketers using three or more channels were able to report a 8.96% purchase rate.
If this data tells us anything at all, it's that adding more ways to engage with your customer has a positive effect on nearly every aspect of a marketing campaign. By limiting yourself to just one channel, you're walking away from a 250% higher conversion rate.
Which Automation Workflows Perform Best?
When it comes to automation workflows, there were a few clear winners for Omnisend marketers in 2018.
Much like in 2017, cart recovery automation workflows performed the best in terms of order rate, bringing in 2.35% orders per campaign. And order confirmation automation workflows held the crown for the highest open rate at 58.8%.
However, in 2018, a new challenger appeared. More and more Omnisend marketers decided to run with their own custom workflows, and those who did had results to brag about.
When it comes to capturing customer attention and keeping it, custom automation workflows performed the best with the highest click through rate of any automation workflow at 17.27%. They also followed order confirmation with the second highest open rate, at 52.7%.
While custom workflows fell behind in order rate at 1.82%, it's still not a bad conversion rate compared to other workflows.
This data tells us that cart recovery automation workflows are still the best at recovering lost sales, and order confirmation workflows are highly appreciated by their customers.
But by creating custom workflows around what your customers really need, you can earn more revenue and foster a better relationship with your customers.
How Do Segmented Campaigns Perform Compared to Non-Segmented Campaigns?
When we think logically about why we segment campaigns, no one should be surprised at the data we're about to cite.
Segmented campaigns perform much better than non-segmented campaigns. We found that marketers who targeted their campaigns into smaller segments and engaged with personalized campaigns attained an open rate of 28.05%. This is a 34.7% higher open rate than non-segmented campaigns, who had an 18.3% open rate.
When a message is relevant, the customer is much more likely to engage. By segmenting and personalizing your campaigns to each target, you're creating an ideal situation for the customer to see your offer.
And when a customer has a better opportunity to be receptive to your offer, they have a better opportunity to purchase from you. We saw proof of this in our segmented campaign study, where targeted campaigns earned 26.5% more orders than non-segmented campaigns.
Luckily, more and more Omnisend marketers are taking advantage of the platform to create segmented campaigns to better target their messages. The number of non-segmented campaign blasts is diminishing bit by bit.
Email Statistics: When Is the Best Time to Send That Campaign?
The best timing is personalized timing implemented with automation. But when you're sending general campaigns, timing is also important because sending an email at the wrong time might start from "I'm too busy to look at that right now," to your email never getting opened at all.
So getting the timing right is important to make sure your campaigns get seen in the first place. In looking at the campaigns getting the best open rates, we found that sending them in around the workday schedule provided the best results.
It's no secret that most people check their phones as soon as they wake up. A notification from you is a great way to start your customer's day off by thinking about your products. Campaigns sent at 8 am received a 20.32% open rate and a 7.79% click through rate.
However, the best performing time for click through rate was 5 pm, at the end of the work day.
So all in all- email campaigns that catch a customer when they have a break from work for the best results.
As the month continues, the statistical averages get a bit worse. Campaigns sent in the first third of the month get the best overall performance.
We studied over 20,000 different forms and gathered data on their success rate by kind of form and field combination. List building results did not vary much from 2017's data, but we do see a trend.
Much like in 2017, static sign up boxes only converted 1.28%. Popups did much better, converting almost four times as much, while using gamified sign up forms like the Wheel of Fortune earned a whopping 12.74% sign up rate.
Landing pages make the case for targeting sign up forms to certain campaigns, bringing in a nearly 25% success rate.
Our advice? Use a combination of these forms to gather as many contacts as possible. As long as you're targeting them and making sure you don't have 5 different things popping up at once, you'll be able to scoop up many more signups.
The combination of email and phone has the highest success rate, not only allowing Omnisend marketers to capture more contacts, but enabling these marketers to send important SMS campaigns to their customers.
Email and first name came in second at just over 8% signup conversion, allowing marketers to better personalize their email campaigns. Finally, email and birthday comes in just under email and first name at 7.83%, allowing marketers to send special offers for their customer's birthdays.
No matter which form combination you choose, it's important to think about how that combination will affect your targeting and personalization.
The data from the 2019 Omnichannel Marketing Automation Statistics Report shows us a few key trends in our ecommerce marketers. These trends can help those who have not yet climbed aboard the omnichannel train a chance to get things in place for 2019.
Marketers are moving towards omnichannel marketing from single-channel campaigns, and they're getting great results from it.
Customers are looking for an omnichannel experience, and they're willing to spend more when they find it.
Customers respond better to custom automated workflows that are tailored to their needs.
Marketers are making use of contact segmentation to better personalize and target their campaigns.
Customers notice dynamic signup forms easier and they are more willing to sign up with them when they're targeted.
By taking note of these key trends, you'll be able to better create your omnichannel marketing automation campaigns for this year, and the years to come. Feel free to download the infographic here.

Carico, a freshman outside hitter, ranked among the conference leaders in kills and aces. She led Miami with 369 kills, which puts her among all-time Miami leaders as a freshman. She also led Miami in aces (35) and ranked second on the team in digs with 416 — the sixth-best mark in program history. She was a two-time winner for ACC Player of the Week honors.
Lane's older sister, Taylor Carico, is a standout setter for USC, but it seems like the volleyball bloodlines run deep in the Carico family.

Long road ahead for Mira Costa
Posted on November 23, 2008 by Tony Ciniglio
If Mira Costa is going to have a shot at its eighth CIF state title, it will have to take a long and perilous road.
Mira Costa paid the price for not closing out its CIF Southern Section Division I-AA title match against Santa Margarita, drawing a first-round road match at L.A. City Section champion Palisades in the first round of the CIF Division I state playoffs on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
But that's not the killer part.
Mira Costa, which earned the No. 3 seed despite Saturday's loss, takes
care of business at Palisades, it will likely have to play at
second-seeded La Costa Canyon in the second round on Saturday and try to beat a team that handed the Mustangs (27-5) one of their five losses on the season.
looking forward to state. We want to redeem ourselves," outside hitter
Emma White said after the Mustangs' dramatic 23-25, 25-23, 19-25,
25-22, 23-21 loss to Santa Margarita on Saturday.
Mira Costa is the only local team to make the state playoffs in any division.
La Costa Canyon hosts Santa Barbara in the first round.
Santa Margarita earned the top seed and will host San Diego Section runner-up Torrey Pines.
If it can carry the momentum of its stunning win over Mira Costa, Santa
Margarita plays the Dos Pueblos-Clovis West winner in the second round.
Mira Costa won't get another shot at Archbishop Mitty, which is the top seed in the Division II Northern California playoffs. Nevada Union is the top seed from Northern California in Division I.
The Southern California finals will be at home sites on Dec. 2. The state final will be played at UC Irvine on Dec. 6 at 7 p.m.
CALIFORNIA REGIONAL PLAYOFFS
Tuesday, 7 p.m.
Torrey Pines at Santa Margarita; Dos Pueblos at Clovis West; Mira Costa at Palisades; Santa Barbara at La Costa Canyon.
Santa Margarita wins it
Santa Margarita def. Mira Costa, 23-25, 25-23, 19-25, 25-22, 23-21.
Mira Costa held a 10-5 lead in the fifth game. Heartbreaker for the Mustangs. Falyn Fonoimoana had 33 kills.

Taking it to the limit …
Santa Margarita forces a fifth and decisive game with a 25-22 victory in Game 4. Kylie Hargreaves is playing like a player possessed for Santa Margarita with 18 kills.
This game has been pressure packed the entire match. A great final.
Mira Costa reasserts control …
And who restored order? Falyn Fonoimoana, of course. She scored Mira Costa's final five points in a 25-19 victory in Game 3 for a 2-1 lead in games. She has 22 kills and is playing like a champion.
Mira Costa never trailed in Game 3 after storming to an 8-2 lead, but it was never comfortable until Fonoimoana's final barrage.
Sheridan Taylor is also playing well in the middle.
Does Mira Costa have that killer instinct champions possess? We'll soon see.

It won't be a sweep …
Santa Margarita is proving to be a formidable opponent for Mira Costa, taking a close second game, 25-23, in a game where there were 16 ties and seven lead changes.
Falyn Fonoimoana, of course, is the leader for Mira Costa with 10 kills at this point. But she's being matched by Santa Margarita's Kylie Hargreaves, who also has 10 kills and is certainly holding her own.
A little drama early for Mira Costa …
Mira Costa wins its first game, 25-23, over Santa Margarita in the CIF Southern Section Division I-AA girls volleyball finals, but not without some drama.
Mira Costa blew a 17-10 lead and faced a 23-20 deficit before rattling off the final five points of the game, capped by a clutch ace from Emma White.
One thing's for sure: Santa Margarita is game to compete with the South Bay's juggernaut.
Mira Costa volleyball pushed in 2nd round
Mira Costa received an unexpected push from San Clemente in the second round of the CIF Southern Section Division I-AA playoffs, but eventually pulled out a 25-20, 22-25, 25-18, 25-19 victory on Thursday night.
Falyn Fonoimoana had 26 kills and 21 digs as Mira Costa will host the Orange Lutheran-Long Beach Poly winner in Saturday's quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
"Falyn wore them down," Mira Costa coach Lisa Zimmerman said.
Alyssa Anderson had 59 assists and 18 digs, Alex McBride had eight kills and Jackie Gardner had seven kills and seven digs for Mira Costa (25-4). Andi Zbonjniewicz added 14 digs and two aces for Mira Costa.
"My team was anxious to beat them fast," Zimmerman said. "They have to realize in the playoffs you have to play all the way through. Once we steadied out and focused on our side-out game, we were OK."
Mira Costa hitting the accelerator
Posted on November 6, 2008 by Tony Ciniglio
Mira Costa's girls volleyball team appears to be peaking heading into the CIF playoffs, which puts a smile on the face of coach Lisa Zimmerman.
"I think we're still improving," Zimmerman said after a 25-8, 25-20, 25-17 sweep of rival Redondo on Thursday. "The players are gelling. They've taken what we've showed them and now they are taking ownership on the court."
Star Falyn Fonoimoana, already committed to USC as a junior, says her game is improving because the players around her are getting better.
"In the beginning of the season, I had to worry more about the other girls," Fonoimoana said. "Now they are fine on their own so I can concentrate more on my own game."
Marine League represents
Four Marine League girls volleyball teams made the L.A. City Championship bracket.
Four-time league champion San Pedro leads the way, but the Pirates slipped to the No. 7 seed after being a perennial top-four seed the last few years. They open the first-round of the playoffs on Thursday at home against No. 26 South Gate.
Runner-up Carson followed the Pirates at the No. 8 position and will host No. 25 Huntington Park on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Third-place Narbonne earned the No. 11 seed and hosts No. 22 Bell on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Banning, which finished fourth in the league, drew a first-road road assignment at No. 9 Venice, but has a chance to play Carson in the second round.
Palisades is No. 1, Granada Hills is No. 2, Chatsworth is No. 3, Sylmar is No. 4, Van Nuys is No. 5, El Camino Real is No. 6.
The second round is Monday, followed by the quarterfinals on Nov. 13, the semifinals on Nov. 18 and the final at Roybal Learning Center on Nov. 22.


We've regularly shared the main updates with you on Telegram and Twitter, but so much happened in the past month that we wanted to give you a general recap. So today, we are sharing all of our latest updates in hopes that it will help you take a deeper look at what is happening behind the scene.
A few months ago, the idea of ChainRift came to life during a conversation between a couple traders in a bar. Everybody there was having a "what the fork?!" moment with Segwit2x causing concern in the whole cryptocurrency community. Later that day - or in the middle of that night, rather - the name, logo, branding and overall look of ChainRift was sketched on paper.
The exchange was originally created as a solution to determine accurate consensus on controversial Bitcoin forks, allowing market pricing to act as a signal of support (or lack thereof). Very quickly, the idea became a goal, and the goal became a list of tasks; which evolved into a fully-fledged exchange and hasn't stopped growing ever since. Friends were brought in and soon enough, what started with a couple guys brainstorming turned into a team of 10+.
Today, in order to keep track of everything, our team "gathers" virtually on a weekly basis and we talk about what has been accomplished, what will be the next thing to focus on and - let's be honest - so that we can joke around during what looks like an online version of water-cooler talk.
ChainRift, as it is today, is only the start of something powerful. And because we want to bring quality and transparency to our users, this article is the first of a long series of blog posts that will make you feel just as if you were attending one of our weekly calls (minus the occasional Internet connection fails).
We finished the Tezos implementation and accompanied its launch with an article prepared by our Compliance team, explaining why we think Tezos isn't a security.
We redesigned our Tier Verification policy and page. We now have two tier levels (Verified or Unverified). A verified account allows you to withdraw a significantly larger volume (up to 250,000 USD Daily) and helps protect your account from fraud. So, we highly recommend that you take a couple minutes to go through the verification process.
We experienced our first random act of wickedness… 🤷 We're not sure why this Rob guy is mad but we're wishing you the best, buddy!
As you have realized, we decided to temporarily disable trading for most coins and focus on a select few. The reasoning behind this decision is that we wish to keep trading pairs that are a) actively requested by our community and b) for which we can ensure appropriate liquidity.
Based on a lot of user feedback we received, we fixed a few bugs on the public trading page and added a home button on the homepage. Thanks again for helping us perfecting our tool!
We published a new Identity Verification document: How do I become a verified user on ChainRift? (Spoiler alert: it's very simple).
We've added UI/UX improvements to our Wallets, Deposits, Withdrawals and Trades page. You'll see that the transition is now way more fluid between these pages!
We're actively working on getting a new coin listed on our exchange and have been hard at work in preparation with the coin's development team. Stay tuned for more information! We'll tell you more in due time.
Our Compliance officer is still near-drowning in GDPR documentation but we're happy to announce that he has not yet sent distress signals and even found the time and energy to give our Terms and Conditions a little makeover.
We have also been busy conducting a few job interviews and were pleased to be in touch with very interesting and knowledgeable candidates! Keep an eye out for future job opportunities with us!
We recently shared a feedback survey and received a lot of positive responses and valuable feedback! Keep them coming; we are always looking for ways to improve!
After Telegram, Twitter, and Facebook, you can now follow us on Instagram!
How do you decide which cryptocurrencies to add on ChainRift?
What do I need for the verification?

Alexa to sing 'We Are' at Junior Eurovision!
A week ago, we reported that Alexa Curtis would be the lucky participant to follow in Bella Paige's shoes and perform on the Junior Eurovision stage for Australia. Now, Alexa has released the song which she will be taking to Malta, and it's called 'We Are'
The song is an uplifting pop number, with the message of making sure we value the important things in life, such as friendship, and believe in oneself. The song was co-written by Ali Tamposi, who is best known for co-writing Kelly Clarkson's Grammy nominated song 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)'. The other co-writer was award winning writer Tania Doko, who has worked with Tina Arena, Samantha Jade, and even the winner of the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest, Måns Zelmerlöw!
Alexa is represented by Universal Music Australia, and the song We Are will be released worldwide to purchase on the 14th of October, but you don't have to wait to listen! Junioreurovision.tv have released the official video, which you can watch down below. If you want to learn more about Alexa, click here.

Q: How are critical illness insurance benefits paid out?
Q: What factors do the insurance companies use to determine if I am eligible to receive critical illness benefits?
Q: How is critical illness insurance different from disability insurance?
Q: Do I need a lawyer to handle my critical illness insurance dispute?
A: If you are eligible for critical illness benefits under your policy,the benefits will be paid out to your family in one lump sum.
A: Under most policies, a critical illness illness is one that results inthe loss of independence. Cancer, stroke, heart attack, heart surgery,kidney failure, organ transplantation, brain tumor, paralysis, coma,permanent disability, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Diseases, and MultipleSclerosis may qualify you. Check with your critical illness insurancelawyer to help identify the specific provisions of your contract.
A: Critical illness insurance is not based on yourinability to work, whereas disability insurance depends solely on thisresult. The advantage is that qualifying policy holders are able tocollect the full amount of coverage, even if you make a full recovery.
A: If your claim has been denied contact us to determine whether your claim has a chance of winning.
A: Share Lawyers does not require a down payment or retainer from its critical illness insurance clients. Our lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis, where all costs are covered up front by our firm, and the lawyer collects his or her fee only in the event of a recovery.


I bought this camera on ebay and it worked great at first but the camera wont charge the battery, and when i connect it to power, instead of charging it just blinks repeatedly.
its not the battery because i checked online and when i connected the camera to the outlet power supply it blinks repeatedly for a short while, and that means that there is an error on the camera. how would i get a multimeter and check the battery.
Diese Antwort bezog sich ursprünglich auf eine andere Frage.
I also have that problem with the battery. I have another complaint. The button to turn on the camera is so small that I have a terrible time getting it on. I am 74 years old and when it goes on, I love the camera but it is so frustrating for instance, when I was at my grand daughters college graduation and she was coming down the path going to the stage and I could not get the camera to turn on. I was so upset as this only happens once in my grand daughters life. I originally had a cannon and it was great until someone stole it from me. If I cannot get this problem along with the battery problem fixed, it looks like I am going to ask my children to get me another cannon for my birthday.
Mine was my sisters but, she said the t it did't do anythng a long time ago now 4/3/2016. I have found it in a box at my house and found the charger but, it didn't charge. So I went to youtube and search up how to charge it but everybody didn't show how to charge it and now I'm telling you. So, can you help me please anyone I need it to work.
First, what Sanyo is it? Second, you are saying it is not coming on, any led flashing? Does anything happen to the camera when you try to turn it on? Have you charged your battery? Do you have a multimeter to check your battery? What have you tried so far?
Trying to charge Sanyo VPC-T1496. Manual says green light should be blinking slowly; it is steady. What might be the problem?
Christian Quan wird auf ewig dankbar sein.


Masahiro totally means that, you guys! He is DEFINITELY dumping her in the next temple-orphanage, alright?
This is the end of chapter one! Thank you all SO much for reading, and I hope you'll stick with me for chapter two! I'm going on a one-week break – to go through the next chapter and check for mistakes, to draw a bunch of other stuff, and to do some actual, paid, professional illustration – but I will be back on Monday 29th with chapter two. I'm looking forward to seeing you then!
In the meantime, you can come hang out with me on Twitter, Tumblr or Patreon, if you're into that sort of thing.
ALSO: the first chapter of Grassblades will be made available on Gumroad (which now accepts Paypal!) in hi-res, with a bunch of extra material previously only available to Patreon-backers! While Grassblades will always remain free to read here and elsewhere online, id you want to pitch in and help a girl out, you're very welcome to do so!
Now I'm going to go have a really happy Midsummer's Eve, and eat strawberry-rhubarb pie until I pass out. See you guys on the 29th!
Time for some fanart…every good comic needs some!
Lovely ending of the chapter, Anna! <3 I can almost see a smile on Masahiro's face! Almost. Well… not a smile but maybe 10% less grump tilt on the mouth. Maybe.
Thank you! <3 You're right - it's not really a smile, but grumpiness levels are decreasing ever so slightly. XD At this rate, he might actually *smile* somewhere around chapter six - but I'm not making any promises!
What will we do when he's no longer a grump?

Identification of Surgical Instruments by Means of Data Matrix Codes
(Zentr Steril 2008; 16 (5): 355-363)
The aim of our study was to evaluate the reliability of Data Matrix codes marked by means of dot-peening (DP) and laser techniques, for single identification of surgical instruments. One hundred and twenty stainless steel instruments, divided into four batches, were marked by four different suppliers, two batches by DP and three by laser, to reach a total of 204 codes marked. We followed up readability of the codes throughout the sterilisation cycles, including prolonged disinfection and immersion in caustic soda 1M. A total of 242 cycles were carried out. Code readability at the end varied between 32% and 100% depending on the suppliers. One superficial type of laser code rapidly underwent transformation and became blurred. The other types of codes did not undergo any significant corrosion- or wear-mediated transformation and thus both techniques showed excellent durability. Reading problems could be attributed to the way the marking system was set up (code size, choice of DP stylus, positioning of codes on the instrument), to the condition of the instrument surfaces and the parameter settings of the Data Matrix code reader. Aeronautical standard EN 9132 was proved to be an interesting reference source, when extrapolated to surgical instruments, to define of marking specifications.

Investigation of "Prion" Chemical Indicators in a Prevacuum Autoclave Using a Wireless Logger System
"Prion" chemical indicators are so designed as to discolor after the exposure of moist heat process at 134 �C for 18 minutes in the specially designed testing sterilizer (resistometer). Its cycle pattern is quite different from that of hospital autoclaves. For instance, a steam resistometer must attain the required sterilization temperature less than 10 seconds after steam introduction. In the present study, "prion" chemical indicators were evaluated in our prevacuum autoclave using a wireless logger system.
"Prion" chemical indicators of two manufacturers were used. Six pieces of each manufacturer's indicator were placed in a reusable rigid container with the wireless logger. The container was autoclaved in our prevacuum autoclave using the routine program: three vacuum pulses, sterilization phase at 135 �C for 16 minutes and a drying time of 40 minutes. The evaluation was repeated three times. Immediately after the sterilization program was completed, the chemical indicators were inspected, and thermal evaluations were performed.
All of the "prion" chemical indicators discolored satisfactorily in all evaluations. F0 values ranged from 478 to 510. It took 2 minutes 25 seconds to 2 minutes 54 seconds for the temperature to increase from 120.0 to 134.0 �C in the come-up period. Holding time over 134 �C ranged from 15 minutes 2 seconds to 15 minutes 37 seconds with the maximum temperature from 136.1 to 136.4 �C in the sterilization phase.
The present study revealed that the "prion" chemical indicators discolored satisfactorily despite of the holding time less than 18 minutes at 134.0 �C in our prevacuum autoclave. It was also suggested that the come-up period was much longer than 10 seconds.
The present study suggested that chemical indicators should be tested using physical parameters before they are used in hospital autoclaves. It was also suggested that a wireless logger system is convenient for this purpose.

We joined Martha and Jim Moelenberndt, Rich and Carol Deardorff for dinner at Karen and Mike Linot's home in Gibbon, Nebraska, about 26 miles west of Grand Island. Their property is on rolling hills and has a wonderful view of their 20 acre back yard. Their nearest neighbor is in the next section.
