An All-Star starter to the relief-reliant
LAS VEGAS (AP) —Rays http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-ozzie-guillen-jersey , a Tanner-for-Tanner trade and a Scott Boras sighting. Intrigue at the winter meetings, but not much impact.Not yet, anyway.Charlie Morton was the top name to switch teams Wednesday, joining Tampa Bay for a $30 million, two-year deal after going 15-3 with Houston last season. Reliever Jeurys Familia returned to the New York Mets after they traded him away and first baseman Justin Bour headed to the Los Angeles Angels.And in the majors' first swap of players with the first name of Tanner, the Washington Nationals sent Tanner Roark to Cincinnati for Tanner Rainey in a trade of right-handers.Roark led the National League with 15 losses, but expected he would be part of a prime rotation that recently added All-Star Patrick Corbin to stars Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg."I felt like we would have a pretty good staff over there in D.C. but they thought otherwise and I don't know what their plans are," Roark said on a conference call.Fans all over, meanwhile, waited to hear where the likes of free agents Bryce Harper and Manny Machado and trade targets Corey Kluber and J.T. Realmuto might go.The New York Yankees worked to re-sign lefty J.A. Happ but, as always, were on the lookout for bigger prizes."We're a fully operational Death Star," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said.Boras Bill Melton Jersey , meanwhile, said there are teams ready to move right now on Harper."Bryce is open to a lot of different venues, so it's really about what a lot of owners have said to him about their commitments and what they want to do long term," the prominent agent said.The 26-year-old Harper, who lives in Las Vegas, had a career-high 100 RBIs while hitting 34 home runs and batting .249 last season for Washington."So, we're really at a point where you could be meetings away from a deal," Boras said. "And then again, you could be in the situation where it's just further meetings and conversation."Or, as Boras put it: "When the nurse walks in with the thermometer the issue isn't what (it reads) that day, it's the health of the patient when they're ready to leave the hospital."The session ends Thursday after the Rule 5 draft for players left off 40-man rosters. While some big trades got made at past gatherings — Giancarlo Stanton, Chris Sale — more and more the winter meetings are becoming a place where deals get set up for later.Red Sox President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski would like to see that changed.As in, maybe a change to encourage clubs to roll the dice."When I first started out … when the winter meetings ended http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-robin-ventura-jersey , there was a trade deadline. You couldn't make a trade for a couple months. So everything had to be done when you left," the longtime executive said."You got to the point where almost everybody wanted to be signed by the holiday, by Christmas holiday. Everybody wanted a job, so people would sign. I don't really know what's happened, where it's changed. It's just doesn't seem to be very important for people," he said, later adding, "they need to change the rules or something." LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Kemp has had a lot of big hits for the Dodgers in his career. Traded back to them this season, he's regaining his rhythm offensively in the heat of a pennant race.Kemp slugged a go-ahead, two-strike, three-run homer in the eighth inning, lifting Los Angeles to a 3-2 victory over Arizona and a tie atop the NL West with the Diamondbacks on Saturday night."Coming into September, we know what every game means Early Wynn Jersey ," he said. "I don't think they're going to quit, so we got to be just as good."With the sellout crowd of 52,394 on its feet chanting "Let's go Dodgers," Kemp took two quick strikes from Archie Bradley before launching his 19th homer into center field for a 3-2 lead."That was really fun to watch," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said, "These kinds of games is what makes baseball great."Kemp is hitting .310 with five runs, two homers and six RBIs in 13 games since Aug. 15.Justin Turner got the rally going with one out in the inning. He singled for the Dodgers' first hit since his double in the third. Manny Machado followed with a 10-pitch walk by Bradley to set up Kemp."Biggest hit of the year so far," starter Clayton Kershaw said of Kemp's homer. "J.T. fights off a tough pitch to shoot it through the hole and Manny fights off that at-bat. It was an awesome comeback win for us."Bradley (4-5) was leading the National League in holds with 31 before Kemp's homer."I threw a really bad curveball to a really good hitter," Bradley said. "It was supposed to be down and away but I left it over the plate."Kenta Maeda (8-8) worked a perfect eighth. Kenley Jansen put the tying run on in the ninth. The All-Star closer gave up a two-out double to Nick Ahmed before Ketel Marte popped up to second, giving Jansen his 34th save in 38 opportunities. Enrique Hernandez got the first out of the ninth on a stellar play. He made a diving stop on David Peralta's grounder and threw from his back to first baseman Cody Bellinger just in time."You can plug him anywhere and he's going to make big plays," Lovullo said.Neither team has won by more than two runs in the first three homer-heavy games of the series. Turner's homer leading off the eighth gave the Dodgers a 3-2 victory on Friday. The D'Backs won the opener 3-1 on Peralta's three-run shot."This is a tough loss, but we didn't lose a playoff game," Bradley said. "One game does not define this team."Arizona led 2-0 after Eduardo Escobar and pinch-hitter Christian Walker led off innings by homering on first pitches from Kershaw. Escobar went deep to left field in the second. Walker Avisail Garcia Jersey , hitting for starter Patrick Corbin, landed one in left-center for his second career pinch-hit homer off Kershaw.In between Arizona's two homers, Kershaw retired 12 consecutive batters. The left-hander gave up two runs and four hits in seven innings, struck out three and walked none.The Dodgers struck out 13 times, including six in a row over the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Corbin retired the side in the fifth, striking out the last two batters. Yoshihisa Hirano relieved him and struck out the side in the sixth, while Brad Ziegler struck out pinch-hitter Bellinger to open the seventh.Corbin allowed three hits, struck out seven and walked one. The Dodgers have struck out 31 times in Corbin's four starts against them this season and he's limited hitters to a .125 average.Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt singled in the sixth to reach base in his club-record 44th straight road game.TRAINER'S ROOMD-backs: 3B Jake Lamb (left shoulder contusion) recently had surgery to repair fraying in the rotator cuff and is done for the season. He's expected to be ready by spring training.Dodgers: Reinstated LHP Zac Rosscup (left calf strain) and INF Chase Utley (left wrist inflammation) from the 10-day disabled list.DODGERS DEBUTInfielder David Freese made his debut after being traded to LA from the Pirates a night earlier. He reached base safely in two of three plate appearances, going 1-for-2 with a hit by pitch.SEPTEMBER CALL-UPSThe Dodgers recalled INF-C Kyle Farmer, INF-OF Tim Locastro and OF Andrew Toles and Alex Verdugo from Triple-A Oklahoma City.Farmer returns for his second stint in LA after appearing in 32 games and hitting .238. As a pinch-hitter for the Dodgers, he's batting .375. Locastro has appeared eight games with LA, the last time on May 13. At OKC http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-frank-thomas-jersey , he has hit .279. Toles is back after hitting .261 in seven games with LA. He's hit .306 in 71 games at OKC. Verdugo has played in 14 games with LA in two different stints and hit .280.The D'Backs recalled RHP Silvino Bracho, RHP Matt Koch, RHP Jimmie Sherfy, INF Chris Owings and OF Socrates Brito from Triple-A Reno, and selected C Chris Stewart from Reno.UP NEXTRHP Clay Buchholz (7-2, 2.07 ERA) brings a 15-inning scoreless streak into the series finale. He faces the Dodgers for the first time since June 20, 2010, when he pitched 6 2/3 shutout innings in a 2-0 victory. Rookie RHP Walker Buehler (6-4, 3.02) faces the D'Backs for the first time.

Matthew (Matt) Everly
Annali Holmes
Trylle, Tracker
Finn Holmes is a tracker for the Trylle. He is the son of Thomas and Annali Holmes, and he has a younger sister called Ember. He lives in a little cottage not far from the palace. He and his father are considered the best trackers in Forening. Thomas Holmes had an affair with Wendy's mother, Elora. In the first 2 books in the series, Finn has an affair with Princess Wendy, but in the 3rd book Wendy has to end it.
Finn is tall and handsome. He has dark eyes and hair. His hair is usually smooth and slick. Finn can almost shut off his emotions from his face, which often angers Wendy.
During Switched Finn was generally calm and caring, but he didn't want Wendy falling in love with him, because he thought that he wasn't good enough for her. But as the book progressed, he ends up falling in love with her. Elora tells him that his love for her isn't professional, so he ends up leaving. In Torn, Finn did show that he cared because he wanted her to be safe and back in Forening. When she, Rhys, and Matt were kidnapped by the Vittra, he knew and went after her. When Wendy began talking to and getting closer with Loki, he was angry. Angrier than she had ever seen him, mostly because he was jealous. Like other trackers, he would give his life to protect her. Finn wanted Wendy all to himself, but it just wasn't right in the end. Finn ends up with Mia at the end of the series, and him and Wendy are now just very good friends.

Shades of Fantasy was written by a customer of mine located here, in Northern Kentucky. I'm not sure how wide distribution was, but all three of our stores carried it and I bought up before I began working there. The author, Steve Bode is an acquaintance of mine.
"Inside you will find: * 40+ Character Occupations including Exorcists, Witch Hunters, Knights, Holy Knights (5 orders: Knights Inquisitor, the Grey Angels, Knights Imprimatur, Knights of St. Justinian, and Knights Macabre), Sturmguard, Vermitic Warlocks, Militant Wizards, Luminati, and many more! * 15 detailed Fantasy Races including the Fey Folk, Banruks, Gimnar, Nith, Ordrue, and more. Also included are human derivative races like the fey influenced Changelings and the half human, half demonic Devilkin. * 110 Creatures, 100+ Skills and Advantages, 130+ Spells, detailed Religions, a sample History, and Enchanted Items. Flexible rules for Character Creation. Innovative rules for Magik, Combat, Exorcism and Possession. Critical Hit and Fumble Charts, and much more! CONVERTS TO MOST POPULAR ROLEPLAYING GAMES"
I know the game was designed to fix the author's dissatisfaction for fantasy RPG's that were in print at that time.
I remember that some that tread some ground that DnD 3.0 would eventually tread and it was fun for several evenings for our group.
It's even got a review on RPG.net!

RingoPhotoBook.com
PLUS 'THE PHOTOGRAPH PORTFOLIO' – LARGE FORMAT FRAMED ART PRINTS
RingoPhotoArt.com
Genesis Publications present Ringo Starr's highly anticipated limited edition book PHOTOGRAPH. Earlier this year Ringo delighted fans by announcing he would be opening his archive to share a lifetime of photography. Now this stunning book explores that archive in full.
In over 15,000 words of brand new text, Ringo tells us the stories behind more than 240 pictures. Each copy of PHOTOGRAPH is traditionally hand-bound, numbered, then signed by the author.
'I love putting pictures together to show different times of my life. I was just taking shots because I liked to take shots, and now it's turned into this, which is great. Peace & love.' – Ringo Starr
Ringo Starr shares his life story in a memoir illustrated with 300+ pages of stunning photography that has remained unseen for decades. Ringo tells first-hand what it was like growing up in Liverpool, discusses his time as a Beatle, and much more. PHOTOGRAPH includes childhood photos and memorabilia saved by his mother (that even Ringo didn't know existed until now) and forgotten slides of The Beatles in Miami (that barely survived). Told in hundreds of photographs snapped all over the world, from Paris to Washington, India to Japan, PHOTOGRAPH is Ringo's personal account of his life and work.
'We made some incredible music. The songs are still relevant; the kids are listening to the music today. It worked. And there were many, many magic moments, when it really worked.' – Ringo Starr
Ringo's photography takes us on a journey through the decades, with letters and mementoes, beautiful black and white photographs, psychedelic special effects, stunning colour shots and retro 1980s polaroids.
'These are shots that no one else could have. I just had the camera with me a lot of the time.' – Ringo Starr
Ringo's unique position and artistic flair has produced beautiful and intimate portraits of The Beatles, capturing sides of John, George and Paul that only a band mate would see – writing songs, having fun and lost in moments of quiet reflection.
'This is how we saw most of the world when it got big for The Beatles: out of a car window, going to or leaving somewhere. That's just how it was.' – Ringo Starr
PHOTOGRAPH presents Ringo's art in a craftsman-bound tome from Genesis Publications, with gold-edged pages and plenty of surprises inside.
'Genesis did a great job on my first book POSTCARDS FROM THE BOYS – so why would I go anywhere else?' – Ringo Starr
Ringo's PHOTOGRAPH launches this autumn, with special events hosted in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Readers can find out more, and order now, at RingoPhotoBook.com. The book will be priced £345.

They were sitting in neat lines. The women, children and men. Mostly old men. People carrying their lives in bags of canvas, nylon and plastic. Some had nothing at all to carry. They were after crossing from the Turkish side during the night and were tired and hungry. Babies were crying. We had come by the safe route, the ferry from Izmir to Lesbos. We were people with passports that mattered. The same colour as Homer's ''wine-dark sea''.
From ferry to landfall to immigration, our journey into our European homeland would take 15 minutes at most.
The other ones, the people with the passports of a country in flames, passports of the Syrian Arab Republic, would watch us pass, walking at our ease while they sat under a blazing noonday sun that caused the youngest and the oldest to sway.
I saw a man stand up and begin to walk towards the immigration offices. He was in his 50s I guessed. He had not made more than a few steps when a woman customs officer began to scream: "Sit down!" And this she repeated with increasing volume and velocity. Velocity. These were words hurled as weapons. "Sit down!" There was more shouting from another guard. Just in case the refugees doubted who was in control and what were the limits of their freedom.
When the guards noticed a colleague filming the exchange, they became enraged. Camera cards were demanded. I protested and was told we were filming in a port, a restricted area. There was another bout of shouting in the direction of the refugees. I said something about this being Europe and a place where desperate people should not be treated with such obvious contempt. "We are in a war," was the response from the immigration officer.
This was at the height of the great migration of 2015 when those fleeing war and hunger, those seeking a better life in the imagined paradise of western Europe were landing in their tens of thousands on the shores of Lesbos. This was part of the prologue to Brexit, Trump, the rise of populism and the retreat of liberalism.
I have thought many times since about the reactions of those Greek border guards, about how they had reduced those Syrian refugees to people less than fully human.
To be sure, their attitudes were counterpointed by those of the many Greek islanders I had seen offering succour to arriving refugees. But uniformed, bureaucratic Europe - and I would witness this hard-faced reaction in Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia and Hungary…yes, most of all Hungary - was showing its colours long before the first fences went up or the rescue ships were being turned away from Italian and Maltese ports.
In the last few weeks, President Trump has faced outrage over the treatment of immigrant children at the US border with Mexico.
Right-minded opinion in western Europe expresses horror at the wilful traumatising of children. But we are much less willing to confront what is being done in our name by the immigration agencies and police forces of the European Union. Mr Trump has bellowed about the wall he wants to build along the Mexican border. But Europe already has a wall. I watched it go up in the late autumn of 2015 on the frontier between Serbia and Hungary. Its leaders have done a deal to keep Syrians, Afghans and whoever else tries to cross by the Aegean route, confined in Turkey.
We have pushed the frontiers of Europe to the shores of north Africa and down into the Sahara desert, the responsibility for stemming the migrant flow turned over to the tender mercies of Libyan militias and Algerian police.
The European response was initially born of panic: what could be done to stop a seemingly endless flow of refugees and economic migrants heading north in 2015? Viktor Orban's fence and the Turkey deal were the beginning of a process which now involves the closing of ports to the NGO rescue boats and the plan for the establishment of migrant ''processing'' centres in North Africa. The EU has moved from panic mode to cold calculation: if migrants know that what awaits them is detention in a miserable camp in the Sahara and the probable rejection of their asylum claims they will stop coming.
There will be the usual accompanying rhetoric about Europe helping to tackle the conditions which cause people to flee. Good luck with that at a time when the EU is struggling to achieve coherent policies to face its own internal crises.
Apart from the obvious challenges around human rights, the policy of ''Fortress Europe'' has no guarantee of success.
Two daunting statistics above all others should concern us here. By the year 2050, the population of Africa will have doubled. By 2030, 90pc of world poverty - between 400 and 500 million people - will be in Africa. That's compared to 50pc now. For all the good news about economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa, it shows no sign of reaching the levels needed to provide enough jobs for the rapidly expanding population.
It is usual at this point for the writer to say what should be done to tackle the crisis of the hour. But nobody with a grain of sense has an easy answer to the migration question. The answer is in long, patient engagement, in peace keeping and making in war-blighted countries, in helping to build African economies through trade and investment, in supporting independent institutions like courts and free media. This is the work of decades. Far more time than we have. And calls for open borders are not the answer. They are simplistic and irresponsible and are far more likely to fuel the rise of the far right.
Of course it would help if those on the far right who inflame public opinion with fearful rhetoric could desist. One of the most disturbing images of last week was of a woman in America screaming ''Dirty Mexican'' at a 14-year-old boy who spoke in support of immigrants at a rally.
There is too much hatred coursing through the blood stream. In America. In Europe. Our great danger is a gradual but irreversible hardening of hearts towards each other. That way catastrophe lies. And I fear it is much closer than we imagine.


"We have to change a lot of established patterns or ways we do things - our priorities - so that nothing gets in the way of attachment in the earliest years. The capacities for trust, empathy, and affection are in fact the central core of what it means to be human, and are indispensable for adults to be able to form lasting, mutually satisfying co-operative relationships with others."
Our culture not only minimizes the importance of motherhood, it maximizes the desire to consume commercial products, defining success always in economic, rarely in humane or social terms. There is no question that a mother with a professional career who uses daycare for her children receives far more recognition and respect than the mother who has left a professional job to stay at home with her children - despite the fact that the at-home mom is in a position to contribute far more to society in the long term. If motherhood were valued as highly as it should be, more mothers would choose to stay at home, and more pressure would be put on governments to help provide the means by which this could be done.
Creative solutions can only come about through a deeply-felt need. If everyone understood the critical importance of mothering, there would be fewer daycares and more and better alternative solutions that keep mother and child together. There would be more family centers where mothers with infants and young children could get together with other parents, watching the children as they play together. Families would be given sufficient financial support by the government, and this support would be seen not as a "handout" with all the stigma that welfare has now, but as a wise and critical investment in our future. Everyone would know that motherhood is the single most important profession there is, one that deserves the highest esteem and the highest pay. What kind of society do we have where athletes, movie stars, and CEOs get the highest pay? What kind of society do we have when the professional woman with her children away from her all day enjoys higher esteem than the stay-at-home mother who has the opportunity to nurture a human being, whose personal qualities, positive or negative, will affect all future relationships? Which is the more critical job?
Our vision is too narrow, too immediate, too limited. We see only the present contribution of the professional woman and are blind to the even greater potential contribution of the mother at home. We need to value these mothers now - or our future will look no different than it does at present, with our myriad social problems. If we really understood the importance of the mother-child bond, we would find those solutions that now seem so elusive and difficult. We would recognize that a young child who has bonded with a particular caregiver who then disappears from the child's world, can internalize feelings of rejection and disappointment. We would be committed to finding ways to keep mothers, babies, and young children together. We would provide whatever financial support is needed, and give extensive parenting education to all. We would give greater prestige and sufficient financial support to dedicated stay-at-home mothers. Most of all, we would recognize that repeated separations from the mother can damage the mother-child relationship and create a tragic reluctance in the child to love and trust others in the future. Close bonds of love and trust take time to develop; they take time to maintain.
We would recognize the critical importance of providing paid maternity leave. We would understand that parental care has the most stability. We would build a healthier population and fewer hospitals and prisons. We would strive to learn more about the father-child bond, and give fathers an opportunity to bond early with their child, and to support the mother in the earliest years. We would enjoy a very different and vastly improved society, where compassion and connection were valued and desired more than any other goal or commodity, where a small house filled with love, trust and joy would be valued far higher than the biggest mansion.


Wow, Keke Palmer is all grown up and reminded us all of that earlier this week at The Imitation Game premiere on Monday (Nov. 17) in New York City.
The 21-year-old rocked the red carpet looking super hot. In a totally sheer ICB top that left nothing to the imagination and an asymmetrical wrap skirt she jazzed up her chic ensemble with thigh high stiletto boots and an oversized blazer for a bit of edge. While we're loving this sophisticated transformation Keke has done with her entire look we must admit that we're missing her long locks. Wouldn't a slicked back ponytail have done this outfit absolute justice?
Vixens, are you feeling Keke's risqué look? Continue clicking to check out more photos and decide whether this ensemble was fly or a fail.

Q: Proving upperbound using convexity The original question is to prove
$$\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n x_i \leq \log{(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n e^{x_i})} \leq \max_{1 \leq i \leq} x_i$$
I show that
$$x_{max} = \max_{1 \leq i \leq} x_i$$
$$\log{(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n e^{x_{max}})} =\max_{1 \leq i \leq} x_i$$
However I don't how to show the left inequality, the solution say this is trivial by the convexity of exponential function, what does that mean? I understand what convexity means but what does convexity have to do with the upper bound? You can easily have two convex functions that cross each other at one point, how will covexity help me
$$\exp{(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^nx_i) } \leq \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n e^{x_i}$$

A: The function $f(x) = \exp (x) $ has a positive second derivative for every $x$ and is convex.
Convexity can be used to prove your last assertion
$$ \exp(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i) \leq \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} \exp(x_i)$$
A convex function has the property
$$ f[(\lambda x_1 + (1-\lambda)x_2] \leq \lambda f(x_1) + (1-\lambda)f(x_2)$$
for $0 \leq \lambda \leq1$.
You can use Taylor's theorem to prove that a twice-differentiable function with a positive second derivative is convex.
This generalizes to yield your inequality.
If $f$ is convex then using $\lambda = 1/2$ we get
$$ f[(x_1 + x_2)/2] \leq \ [f(x_1) + f(x_2)]/2$$ and we can extend this by induction to $n$ variables (Jensen inequality):
$$ f(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i) \leq \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} f(x_i)$$
I will show how this is done for $n=3$.
By convexity,
$$ f\Big(\frac{1}{3}x_1+\frac{1}{3}x_2+\frac{1}{3}x_3\Big) = f\Big[\frac{1}{3}x_1 + \frac{2}{3}\Big( \frac{x_2/3+x_3/3}{2/3}\Big) \leq \frac{1}{3}f(x_1) + \frac{2}{3}f\Big( \frac{x_2/3+x_3/3}{2/3}\Big)\Big] \leq \frac{1}{3}f(x_1) + \frac{2}{3}f (x_2/2+x_3/2) \leq \frac{1}{3}f(x_1)+\frac{1}{3}f(x_2)+\frac{1}{3}f(x_2)$$

Black-naped Monarch
Thailand: The South
Khao Yai and Kaeng Krachen National Parks and the Spoon-billed Sandpiper
Wednesday 19 February to Tuesday 3 March 2020
with Jon Dunn	as leader
One Space Remains
Saturday 20 February to Friday 5 March 2021
Price: $4,850* (02/2020)
Spoon-billed Sandpiper Photo: David Sibley
Thailand is a fascinating country with many wonderful national parks and reserves supporting huge numbers of resident and migrant birds, and it's as well home to a rich and ancient culture many of whose ruins are also wonderful places to bird.
Our tour visits the marshy plains, mangrove coastline, and salt pans at Laem Phak Bia south of Bangkok where we may encounter nearly 40 species of shorebird including the threatened Nordmann's Greenshank and Asian Dowitcher and the critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper, and two splendid national parks at Khao Yai and Kaeng Krachan, each with vast tracts of uninterrupted evergreen forest supporting a wide mix of northern and southern bird species as well as a wide variety of mammals. At Kaeng Krachan we'll also visit several established blinds where normally secretive birds come to feed.
This tour can be taken in conjunction with our tour, Thailand: The Northwest.
Day 1: The trip begins at 6:00 p.m. with a meeting in the lobby of our Bangkok hotel. Night near Bangkok's international airport.
Day 2: We'll begin in a small marshy area near the old Bangkok airport, where we'll find a variety of wintering warblers, possibly including Black-browed Reed, Dusky, Oriental Reed, Yellow-browed, and with very good luck Pallas's Grasshopper (we should at least hear it). We may also see Bluethroat and Eastern Yellow, White (the white-faced leucopsis subspecies), and possibly Citrine Wagtails. We should find White-breasted Waterhens and Ruddy-breasted Crakes lurking among the reeds, and Cinnamon and especially Yellow Bittern are possible. We'll visit several temples, where we should see Red-breasted Parakeet and possibly Spotted Owlet as well as hundreds of Lyle's Flying Foxes (fruit bats).
Later we'll drive to Ayutthaya, the former capital of Old Siam, stopping en route to examine concentrations of feeding Asian Openbills in marshy fields. We'll have lunch at a riverside restaurant where we often see Pied Kingfisher and later take a short walk among the ruins of this striking capital city, sacked by the Burmese in 1767. We'll find a variety of chiefly garden birds, including Coppersmith and Lineated Barbets, Common Iora, Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker, and perhaps Small Minivet. Wintering species should include Taiga Flycatcher, and we often find our only Thick-billed Warbler. We'll depart Ayutthaya for Khao Yai National Park, arriving by early evening at our comfortable resort amid the spectacular cliffs and woodlands near Khao Yai's northern gate. Night near Khao Yai National Park.
Days 3–5: We'll spend three days exploring the densely forested hills, clear rivers, and waterfalls at Khao Yai, one of the best-preserved tracts of tropical evergreen forest in all of Indochina. Khao Yai is noted particularly for larger forest birds, among which are three or four species of hornbill, including the magnificent Great, as well as Orange-breasted and Red-headed Trogons, Banded Kingfisher, Banded and Long-tailed Broadbills, and sometimes Sultan Tit. In addition we can expect a fine collection of raptors, pigeons, barbets, woodpeckers, leafbirds, bulbuls, laughingthrushes, babblers, warblers, sunbirds, and flowerpeckers. Red Junglefowl and Siberian Blue Robin haunt the undergrowth, and there is a chance of finding other, scarcer ground birds such as the elegant Siamese Fireback, Silver Pheasant, and the elusive Coral-billed Ground-Cuckoo or Blue Pitta. At dusk we'll look for Great Eared-Nightjars.
Khao Yai is also extremely rich in mammals, including Pig-tailed Macaque, gloriously vocal gibbons, Black Giant Squirrel, civets, Sambar and Barking Deer (Red Muntiac), East Asian (Malaysian) Porcupine, and Asian Elephant. Nights near Khao Yai National Park.
Day 6: This morning we'll depart via Bangkok for the coastal town of Laem Phak Bia, stopping at Bra Budha Noi, a temple at the foot of limestone karst cliffs and the haunt of the very local Limestone Wren-Babbler. We'll have lunch en route and continue on to the Laem Phak Bia, our home for the next three evenings. Hopefully, we'll have time to visit the Royal Project, only a few minutes away where we might see Javan Pond Heron, Slaty-breasted Rail and Ruddy-breasted Crake, and both Pin-tailed Snipe and Greater Painted-Snipe. White-shouldered (sometimes with Daurian) Starlings come into the mangroves here to roost.
Day 7: We'll spend much of the day birding the brackish and saltwater mudflats, sandflats, mangroves, and salt pans of Phetchaburi Province in the western sectors of the Gulf of Thailand. We'll search for 40 or more shorebird species, including Red-necked and Long-toed Stints, Great Knot, Broad-billed and Marsh Sandpipers, and Greater and Lesser Sand Plovers. If we're lucky, we may see the endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper (there were about three individuals here in 2015), the threatened Nordmann's Greenshank, and possibly Asian Dowitcher. We should also find Brown-headed and possibly Pallas's (Great Black-headed) Gulls, Brahminy Kite, and Black-capped and Collared Kingfishers, among many other species. In the past several years one or two White-faced Plovers (Charadrius dealbatus) have wintered on the sand spit at Laem Phak Bia; the species was actually first collected in 1861 by Swinhoe, who described it as a new species in 1870—after which it was forgotten for well over a century! Some taxonomists regard this as a separate species while others treat it as a subspecies of Kentish Plover. We're also likely to see Chinese and Pacific Reef Egrets, Malaysian Plover, Great Crested and possible Lesser Crested Tern. Night at a lovely and relaxing beachfront resort near Laem Phak Bia. Indian Nightjars are found near here and we'll try for them at dusk one evening.
Day 8: In the early morning we'll return to the Royal Project near Laem Phak Bia, searching for additional marsh birds such as Yellow Bittern, , Watercock, Bronze-winged Jacana, and a variety of warblers, including Oriental and Black-browed Reed. Later we'll travel to open country an hour or so away that is particularly good for raptors. Among the many wintering Black Kites, we'll be looking for eagles: Greater Spotted and Booted are the more regularly encountered species, but we might see Imperial and Steppe as well. The numbers present are highly dependent on the timing of the burning of the rice fields. In some years our timing is wrong and there are few raptors are present, but nearby wetland hosts many wintering ducks, including Garganey. Painted Storks and Black-headed Ibis might be present as well, and there is at least a faint chance of seeing a Black-faced Spoonbill or Spot-billed Pelican. After an afternoon break we'll bird one of the wetlands near Laem Phak Bia, again. At some point we will visit nearbyBang Khun Sai. An interesting feature of the town is its "swift apartments," multi-story concrete structures built by Chinese investors to house wild Germain's Swiftlets. Thousands of pairs nest in the most favored apartments, each with its own set of (human) managers and a speaker system that broadcasts swift calls at high volume in hopes of attracting additional recruits; the nests reportedly sell for upward of $2,500 per pound in Chinese markets. If there's time, we'll return to the Royal Project at dusk to watch hundreds of Black Drongos, starlings, mynas, and Blue-tailed Bee-eaters returning to their mangrove roosts; we may also witness the departure of hundreds of Flying Foxes as they head out for a night's foraging. Night near Laem Phak Bia.
Day 9: This morning is flexible. If we are missing any of the key waterbirds around Laem Phak Bia, we'll search for them. Otherwise we'll depart very early for Kaeng Krachan National Park, stopping at one of several blinds established near the park entrance. These sites are excellent for a number of secretive species that are quite difficult to see in the field, including Scaly-breasted and possibly Bar-backed Partridges, Kalij Pheasant, Greater and Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrushes, and Tickell's Blue Flycatcher. From time to time even secretive forest Red-legged and Slaty-legged Crakes visit these sites along with Gray Peacock-Pheasant, although we would be very lucky to see one of them. After lunch and an afternoon break we'll return to one of the blinds or we may enter Kaeng Krachan National Park. Night at a lodge near the park entrance.
Days 10–12: Kaeng Krachan, with its range of habitats from drier deciduous forest to huge expanses of evergreen forest, is a wonderful place to watch birds. We'll spend three days and a final morning exploring this region. At our highest point we'll be searching for Ratchet-tailed Treepie at its only location in Thailand, along with its frequent traveling companion the striking White-hooded Babbler. Black-throated Laughingthrush occur here too, and we have at least a chance of seeing Spot-necked Babbler and Yellow-vented Pigeon. At this season many Oriental Honey-Buzzards should be moving north. Other raptors we might see include Black Eagle and Mountain Hawk-Eagle and with good luck an Oriental Hobby. At middle elevations we'll search for Gray Peacock-Pheasant (we'll certainly hear them!), and we might hear Ferruginous Partridge (rarely seen). We might see Southern Brown Hornbill and six species of broadbills, including Black-and-yellow, Black-and-red, Banded, Dusky, and Silver-breasted. Wintering Palearctic species should be numerous and might include some more southerly winterers like Eastern Crowned Warbler and Chinese Blue Flycatcher. The list of uncommon to rare species we might encounter is very long and every year is different.
In the drier deciduous forest, woodpeckers are particularly numerous and we could see more than ten species including Heart-spotted, Black-and-buff and possibly Great Slaty.
The park harbors many mammals too, and we might encounter Asian Elephant, Golden Jackal, Fea's Muntjac, Crab-eating Mongoose, and possibly Dhole and even Gaur. A number of cats occur, Leopard being the most frequently seen but also Tiger, although we would be exceptionally lucky to see one. Dusky Langurs, along with a few Banded, are present, as are the distinctive Stump-tailed Macaques. Nights at a lodge near the park entrance.
Day 13: After a final morning of birding at Kaeng Krachan, we'll return to Bangkok, arriving at our airport hotel by late afternoon. Night near Bangkok's international airport.
Day 14: The tour concludes this morning after breakfast.

The Dirt Tricks KTM Rear Sprocket was designed and patented by Dirt Tricks president and engineer Greg Burns in 2002, using his knowledge of aerospace steels, heat treatments, as well as FEA stress analysis. Being an expert desert racer, Greg became tired of changing aluminum sprockets every two months. His goal was to create a sprocket that would last an entire season of hard riding, yet be comparable in weight to aluminum. Thus, the Dirt Tricks sprocket was born. It required two years of development and testing, but the end result has proven to be the toughest, most durable off-road sprocket available.
The 48 tooth rear is my preferred sprocket for the 701. Gears the bike down enough for semi-technical offroad but still leaves the bike enough room at the top to clip along at Highway speeds. Unfortunately the stock chain is not long enough to accommodate a 48 tooth sprocket so you will require a new chain. The 120 link Regina chain will suit your needs.
if you wear it out, we will replace it!
Zirconium: Our new Dirt Tricks Special Edition Zirconium sprockets are 2oz lighter than our chrome plated design, and are comparable to most of the performance aluminum sprockets and lighter than the twin metal designs available. The new coating on these sprockets reduces friction up to 50%, increases durability, and looks sharp!

Liu, J., W. Wang, A. Burns, M. Oppenheim, and Y. Dimant, 2018: Faster traveling atmosphere disturbances caused by polar ionosphere turbulence heating. Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 123, 2181-2191, doi:10.1002/2017JA024746.
A new module, which includes both the turbulence electron heating and the electron-neutral cooling rate correction associated with the Farley-Buneman onstability (FBI) in the National Center for Atmospheric Research-Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamics Global Circulation Model, enables us, for the first time, to investigate the intimate coupling between polar turbulence electron heating and thermosphere disturbances in the context of a first-principle, self-consistent model. Our simulation results show that during geomagnetic storms, after taking the FBI effects into account, Joule heating is almost doubled in the E region at these locations of strong convection electric field. This increases (similar to 6%) the phase speed of traveling atmosphere disturbances at around 400 km that are launched from both hemispheres. Additional heating sources also directly produce a divergence in the zonal wind with magnitudes of 20 m/s in the lower thermosphere. However, the FBI impact on the thermosphere at F region altitudes is not so straightforward. E region anomalous electron heating in association with the FBI can change the phase speeds and magnitudes of traveling atmosphere disturbances from high latitudes in both hemispheres and consequently modify global neutral wind circulation at F region altitudes. This, in turn, can affect the neutral temperature through adiabatic compressional heating and expansive cooling by about 40 K. This study demonstrates how the ionosphere-thermosphere physical processes across different temporal and spatial scales are tightly coupled together throughout the whole upper atmosphere domain.


The Florida Senate gave a vital boost Thursday to Tampa Bay's efforts to modernize its outdated and inefficient transportation system. The Senate reworked a bill to put the region on stronger footing to address its transportation problems, from chronic road congestion and poor mass transit to the lack of regional commuting options. Despite a misguided effort by two bay area senators to hijack the measure, the full Senate is poised to approve the revised version today and send it to the House.
Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, and area business leaders put the bill into motion, recognizing the need to jump-start transportation planning in the region. The bill, SB 1672, would rename the Tampa Bay Regional Transportation Authority by replacing "transportation" with "transit," an acknowledgement of the role buses, rail and other options need to play along with roads in addressing the region's congestion problems. It would reduce the number of TBARTA member-governments to the core counties of Tampa Bay, where urban congestion is worse. And it would give the agency more direction and a greater sense of urgency in planning, building and operating new transit modes throughout the region.
Two Tampa Bay Republicans — Sens. Tom Lee of Thonotosassa and Jeff Brandes of St. Petersburg — nearly poisoned the effort last week. They added requirements that any proposed rail project be subject to yet another feasibility study and be approved by the planning boards in each county and the Legislature. They also added Hernando County back into the mix and barred TBARTA from advocating for rail. These were all attempts to make it harder to craft a rail plan and build public support for it before anyone decides whether rail is the best option rather than express buses and other alternatives.
Latvala largely repaired the damage Thursday. He rewrote portions of the bill to clarify that approvals by the county planning boards and the Legislature are needed only for state funding of rail projects, leaving TBARTA free to work on its own for any federal or local matching dollars. He also removed the requirement that the Legislature give its blessing for rail "by an act of general law," which removes another avenue for rail opponents to undermine the effort. And Latvala loosened the gag order on TBARTA so it would be free under existing state law to offer "factual information" on any rail proposal. Elected officials on TBARTA's board still would be free to advocate for what they thought best for the community.
Hernando County still doesn't belong in TBARTA at the moment. Also, the feasibility study and other hoops are added layers that duplicate the existing process of applying for funds for rail (or buses, driverless vehicles or other transit options). But Latvala has mitigated the mischief created by Lee and Brandes, and with the legislative session ending a week from today it's better to move forward and not make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Credit the business community for stepping up to ensure this legislation did not get sidetracked. The Tampa Bay Partnership has been a major player behind the scenes; some of its most influential business leaders went to Tallahassee last week and made it clear that this legislation is a high priority for the entire region. After meeting with them, Brandes told the Times editorial board has "no problem with a regional plan" and was only trying to fill in some specifics. That sounds implausible given his deep dislike of light rail, but Brandes did not say a word Thursday when Latvala smoothed over his speed bumps.
After the Senate approves the bill today, it will be up House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O'Lakes, to ensure the House approves the legislation next week and sends it to the governor. It's easy for bills to conveniently get lost in the shuffle in the session's final days, and Tampa Bay cannot afford to wait any longer to create a robust regional transit authority.

Colin Hambrook reviews a Channel 4 comedy drama which gives lead roles to six disabled actors. Cast Offs starts on 24 November at 11pm.
Cast Offs stars (from left) Tim Gebbels, Sophie Woolley, Victoria Wright, Mat Fraser, Kiruna Stamell and Peter Mitchell.

I have been eagerly anticipating the new Channel 4 comedy drama series Cast Offs, having been blown away by the stereotype-overturning adaption of The Hunchback of Notre Dame that writers Jack Thorne and Alex Bulmer put together with Graeae, for BBC Radio 4 last year.
Labelled a six-part 'mockumentary', the series tells the story of six disabled characters sent to a remote British island for a fictional reality TV show. Cast Offs' is a metaphor for disabled peoples' invisibility and the feeling, that many of us have, that society would dearly like to get rid of us.
The first episode, available for press previews, introduces us to Dan. He is a twenty-something wheelchair-user, coming to terms with disability, who has joined the local wheelchair basketball team. There is a lot of discomfort as we see him being interviewed with his father by spoof reality tv producers.
We see Dan attempting to assert himself as his father struggles to allow his son independence, unable to stop himself from being over-protective.
Family scenes are intercut with clips of the arrival on the island and introductions to the rest of the cast. After all these years of making a fuss about the amount of disability portrayal by non-disabled actors we see on tv and film, it is something to finally see a drama which gives the disability community some credibility.
Developing relationships between the characters puts the tension between different impairment groups in context. There is a scene in which Gabriella (Sophie Woolley) complains she can't lip read what Carrie (Kiruna Stamell) says because her mouth is too small, and another in which Will (Mat Fraser) inadvertently puts his foot in dung by making a joke about cherubism.
The humour is subtly dark and defiant. I loved Tom, the blind character played by Tim Gebbels. He has some great lines, delivered with the dead-pan wit: "I was promised women and guns; well women with guns. I have been very disappointed so far."
Having landed on the island, Carrie is reading through directions the fictional reality tv producers have left for their "differently-abled" subjects for self-sufficiency.
Tom responds; "Cast-Offs is that what they call us – I like it. It sounds sexy. Sort of like rub-off, but not quite."
I don't know whether Cast Offs will do what C4 drama commissioner Alison Walsh hopes, and be "the show that gives the same sort of impact for disabled people as Queer As Folk did for the gay agenda."
However, I think the appearance on screen of Victoria Wright as April will challenge the BBC Blue Peter's 'Smile Campaign' for the Operation Smile charity.
Not that Vicky doesn't have a lovely smile, but rather, Blue Peter clearly believe people with facial disfigurements are incapable of smiling. I hope at the very least the series will raise debate by questioning the notion there is no life for disabled people unless there is a cure.

Home Business news Britons to roll up their sleeves on Tuesday for a COVID vaccine...
Britons to roll up their sleeves on Tuesday for a COVID vaccine as the world eagerly watches them
Less than a year after the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis, a massive mobilization to deliver a vaccine is underway, and Britain has become a testing ground.
After clearing the shot from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE, the UK is set to become the first Western country to vaccinate its citizens, a turning point in the battle to stop a pathogen that has killed more than 1.5 million people. The British are expected to start rolling their sleeves up on Tuesday, with around 50 hospitals initially participating in the campaign.
As the focus shifts from research and development to distribution, the country of 67 million people finds itself in the spotlight. The Pfizer vaccine rollout – along with potential vaccines from Moderna Inc., AstraZeneca Plc and others waiting behind the scenes – will have to overcome a series of production and logistical hurdles. Healthcare systems also need to convince some medical workers and members of the public that it's safe to take the hit.
"We have demonstrated the power of science, ingenuity and ambition," said Rajeev Venkayya, president of the vaccines business of Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. "If we can do this as a global community, I think we can definitely figure out how to distribute. This does not mean that we are not going to run into problems. Of course we will. We have never done this before.

Britain, like some other Western governments, has been criticized for its approach to testing, contact tracing and other parts of its response: pressure is on to avoid such snags with inoculations. As a potentially bleak winter approaches, hospitals across the country are already under pressure.
The country is expected to brace itself for "difficult months," the UK's chief medical officers wrote in a December 4 letter, warning that socializing around Christmas could put additional stress on hospitals in the New Year. Vaccinations can help drastically reduce Covid hospital admissions and deaths by spring, they wrote, "but there are still many weeks to go until we get to this point."
Delivering a vaccine quickly to tens of millions of people is a tall order, and Pfizer's product adds to thecomplexities. The shot should be transported at around minus 70 degrees Celsius (minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit), colder than winter in Antarctica. After arrival, it can be stored in freezers, in a hospital refrigerator for five days, or up to 15 days in special Pfizer thermal chargers filled with dry ice.
Boxes of Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine, produced in Puurs, Belgium, were shipped to secure sites in the UK by truck or air, each containing five packages of 975 doses. Upon arrival, the vaccine goes through a quality assurance process that takes 12 to 24 hours.
People over 80, staff in care facilities and health workers most at risk of disease will be the first to be beaten, according to a statement from England's National Health Service. Ultimately, no less than 1,000 vaccination centers, managed by groups of general practitioners, will be put online, the government said.
Great Britain regulator decision Wednesday, the release of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine before the US Food and Drug Administration and its European counterpart paved the way for the start of vaccinations. The government had been signaling this possibility for months, positioning the regulator to allow an independent shot before the end of the Brexit transition period on December 31.
While speeding up the delivery of a vaccine, the nation also has to deal with concerns that it is moving too quickly. Anthony Fauci, the US government's top infectious disease specialist, criticized the UK drugs regulator on Thursday, saying he rushed to clear the Pfizer vaccine, albeit later. attenuated comments. The politicians' chant that the UK is the first has also drawn fire, although the US may also allow the vaccine this week.
Now the focus is on mass vaccination. The country has obtained 40 million doses of the Pfizer injection – enough to immunize 20 million people – and Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said the country expects an initial 800,000 doses to arrive this week.
How the health system will receive vaccines against residents and elderly nursing home staff was unclear last week. It is important that they are brought to the facilities where they live and work, depending onLiz jones, policy director at the National Care Forum, which represents providers.
"We shouldn't take the default position that says, 'You have to get people to the vaccine,'" she said. "We want to see a rapid exploration of how we can bring the vaccine to the population."
Huge stakes
As governments deliver vaccines, they will need to implement surveillance systems to check for potential side effects, according to Takeda's Venkayya, who is also former US President George W. Bush's special assistant on biodefense. The supply and demand equation also poses a dilemma.
"There will be challenges with the allocation of a scarce resource in the early days," Venkayya said.
With the distribution of a Covid vaccine, the stakes are high as governments, including the UK, desperately seek ways to reopen economies, lift restrictions and save lives.
The UK will likely have enough vaccines for two-thirds of its population by July 2021, reaching that level three months after the US but around two months before the European Union, according to aanalysisby London-based research firm Airfinity Ltd. The estimates are largely based on the supplies that governments have guaranteed per capita and the productive capacity in each region.
"Where we will determine here not only how quickly we can take control of the situation and return to a certain degree of global stability," saidDaniel Bausch, an infectious disease specialist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, "but ultimately whether the Covid-19 vaccination effort will go down in history as the biggest public health success or failure."

Q: Reading custom files on storage card for android sdk 30 I have an app that creates custom files that are shown in a gallery. They are not images or other standard media files. Because the files are large, I ask users for access to a folder in which the files will be stored.
So far so good.
Reading those files or file info via DocumentFile is so much slower than via File. Operations like
DocumentsContract.findDocumentPath()
documentFile.isFile()
documentFile.getName()

take up to 15ms each, which accumulates to a large time when reading a large number of files.
What's the best way to handle this? Is there another way to do this? I don't want the files to be in internal app memory or users might lose their work when they uninstall the app.
Thanks in advance! This is stressing me out a lot.

A: Do it asynchronously.  Do you need to get all of that data immediately?  Probably not.  So do it on a thread/in a coroutine, and just program your app to not display the data if you do not yet have it (and refresh itself when you do).
In addition, even if you do need it up front-  do you need it for all files up front?  In a gallery, you can make do with just the ones that are immediately displayed, and the next few which might be.  So only fetch that, and get the others when you need them (or when its likely you'll need them soon).  Treat it like fetching results from a web API-  you don't fetch every post ever made, you fetch a few dozen, then you fetch a few dozen more when they're getting close to the bottom

A: In the end, DocumentFile is a wrapper around other APIs, a wrapper that is designed to provide a convenient, File-ish API for developers to use. It is not designed for bulk use. If you want to try to get more speed, you can look at the source code to DocumentFile and related classes used in its implementation, such as DocumentContract19, and work at a lower level.
For example, getName() winds up using this queryForString() method to do the real work. Making a query using ContentResolver adds IPC overhead, so if there are other values that you need that you can get in that same query, you could do the query yourself. For example, isFile() also winds up doing a query, so you could combine those two requests into one and cut the overall time in half (roughly).

A: Do not use DocumentFile class.
Only use DocumentsContract functions.
Its about twenty times as fast as DocumentFile and nearly as fast as classic file operations

Question Help
Amending Agreement Document Preview
Document PreviewAbout this Document
What is an Amending Agreement?
You can use an Amending Agreement to add, delete, or change minor details in an existing contract or agreement without invalidating it.
Your Amending Agreement should include details, such as:
Each party's name
The purpose of the original contract and the date it was signed
The specific amendments you're making to the original contract
The signatures of every party involved
All the parties who signed the original contract need to sign the Amending Agreement for the modifications to be legally binding. Then, attach it to the original contract for easy reference.
An Amending Agreement is also known as a/an:
Contract Addendum
Contract Amendment
Is there a difference between amendments and addendums?
Amendments are changes to the current details in a contract. Addendums are additions to a contract that previously didn't exist. LawDepot's Amending Agreement allows you to make amendments and addendums.
When should I use an Amending Agreement?
Generally, you use Amending Agreements when a term or condition in a contract isn't working out as planned, and you need to adjust it. For example, you might need to change a date, or add or remove a clause.
You may wish to use an Amending Agreement if:
You're changing the job description in an existing Employment Contract.
You hire an Independent Contractor and need to add details to the project's scope of work.
The tenant in your rental property gets a new dog or cat, and you need to add a pet fee to the existing Residential Tenancy Agreement.
You may need to create a new document for significant changes that impact a contract's overall structure and purpose.
Do Amending Agreements override an original contract?
If all the parties who signed the original contract mutually agree to make changes to specific terms and details, the changes in the Amending Agreement will override the original terms and details.
How do I create an Amending Agreement?
You can easily create an Amending Agreement by filling out LawDepot's questionnaire. Using our template will ensure you complete all the necessary steps:
Step 1: State each party's details
Start your Amending Agreement by providing the names of the parties involved. Also, specify if each party is an individual or an organization.
Step 2: Provide details about the original contract
Describe the purpose of the original contract you're amending and provide the date it was signed.
Providing details about the original contract clarifies which contract you're amending. This can be useful if any disputes arise regarding the original contract or Amending Agreement.
Step 3: Describe the amendments you're making
Describe the amendments you're making in as much detail as possible. Doing so reduces the risk of any misunderstandings between the involved parties.
For example, imagine the fifth clause in your Residential Tenancy Agreement is about the day rent is due, and you want to change it from the fourth day of the month to the first day. You could say, "Clause 5 of the Residential Tenancy Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase 'due on the fourth of each month' and replacing it with the phrase 'due on the first of each month'."
LawDepot's Amending Agreement provides space for up to five amendments.
Step 4: Sign the document
Finish your Amending Agreement by dating and signing the document.
For your amendments to be legally binding, every party involved in the contract must sign the Amending Agreement.
Employment Contract: Establish the terms of employment between an employer and an employee.
Independent Contractor Agreement: Outline the terms of a working relationship between a client and an independent contractor.
Residential Tenancy Agreement: Create a residential tenancy between a landlord and a tenant and outline the rights and responsibilities of each party.

Hayreddin Barbarossa"Redbeard"1478-1546 pirate sabre,Turky 16th.C.
The most famous Muslim corsair was born on the Greek island of Lesbos, which was under Turkish control by that time. He built his corsair reputation in the early years of the sixteenth century; with his brother Aruch, from his base in Algiers, he controlled the commercial trade in the Mediterranean Sea under the auspices of the Turkish Empire and he became a nightmare for the Spanish Empire and other Christian states of their time.
After the death of Aruch, Barbarossa was named admiral of the Ottoman fleet by Suleiman I, and joined forces with the king of France, Francis I, to trigger a strong offensive against the king of Spain Carlos V; only by the peace of Crepy, between France and Spain in 1544, stopped their attacks.
