Consequently, we cannot accept survey data that includes satellite households. Finally, we also reject Gulf's claim that Class A television stations are entitled to exclusivity protection. Nothing in Section 73.6026, or in the exclusivity rules, supports this assertion. ordering clauses Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the petition filed by Gulf-California Broadcast Company IS DENIED.

Teeth may need to be removed for a number of reasons, usually due to extensive decay, 'gum' disease, or trauma resulting in painful, abscessed, and/or loose teeth. In most non-emergency situations involving one or several teeth, we will evaluate and treat you during the same visit provided we use local anesthesia (often referred to as 'novocain'). If your dentist has recently taken x-rays which show all of the teeth in question, please bring them with you to your appointment or verify that they have been sent and received.
Click here for information on what to expect on your first office visit.
Most patients prefer not to return to work on the day a tooth is extracted usually because of minor post-extraction bleeding and discomfort. We will provide you with post-operative instructions, extra gauze, and a prescription for pain medication or antibiotics (if indicated) after your treatment is complete. Click here for our Post-operative instructions. You can expect mild to moderate discomfort for a few days following the extraction. There may be some swelling, stretching of your lip, or bruising. In general, you should start to feel better after 2-3 days. If you do not, please let us know.
If you prefer to be sedated or 'go to sleep', a preoperative appointment to evaluate you and discuss anesthesia options is mandatory. This allows us to have the opportunity to review your medical history, determine what procedure(s) are needed, and otherwise prepare you for your procedure.

They better put a roof on that stadium or the fans will be burned to a crisp by the 30 minute mark if they play in the afternoon.
Hopefully he's not pouting like Danny Szetela was when he got sent to the Crew.

TV Tonight: Go On
By James Poniewozik @poniewozikAug. 08, 2012
Jordin Althaus/NBC
When he pitched NBC's new fall season to TV critics a few weeks ago, network president Robert Greenblatt said that the network was aiming for sitcoms more "broad" than its current crop of critics' favorites like 30 Rock and Community. That led some cynical writers–oh, that would be me–to ask whether we could expect a lot more new shows with monkeys in them.
Animal Practice, which NBC previews in a few days, is… well, it's not a great pilot but also not nearly the cheesefest conjured up by the phrase "TV show with a monkey in it." The more interesting test case for what NBC means by "broad" new comedy is Matthew Perry's Go On, which moves away from shows like Community by the curious strategy of having a premise that is as much as possible like Community's without actually being Community.
Consider: Perry plays Ryan King, a cynical professional (here, a sports-radio jock) who signs up for a class in a public institution (here, grief therapy) because he needs a document to get back to work (here, not a diploma but verification that he's finished counseling). Like Community's Jeff Winger, Ryan nurses a secret hurt (here, his wife recently died), and despite his snarky front, he finds–well, Community–in the motley group of broken people from various demographics that are thrown together here.
Go On (previewing tonight, with its regular debut in September) is not as funny as Community, though in fairness neither was Community at the get-go, though its pilot was promising enough. Go On's laughs come in bursts, in particular a great set piece–which you may have already seen in promos–in which Ryan organizes his classmates into a "March Sadness" bracket to see whose suffering is the worst. This is promising, but also concerning, in a pilot; sometimes, it's a sign of good things to come, and sometimes it's a sign that the pilot got made on the strength of one good idea that it never replicates.
Ryan's role is well enough fit to Perry, who since Friends has played a string of sarcastic characters reACT!ing to the abSUR!dity of life with idiosyncratic SYLL!able stresses. But the pilot is aiming for a balance of dark humor, heart and flat-out funny that it doesn't quite manage. Maybe for fear of bumming the audience out, the pilot tells us about Ryan's sense of loss more than makes us feel it. There's a potentially interesting cast of supporting characters–including an acerbic lesbian woman (Julie White) whose partner recently died and an introverted young man (Tyler James Williams), but they haven't yet had time to get fleshed out. As a result, the pilot builds to a final scene that's obviously meant to be uplifting and cathartic, but doesn't quite feel that way.
That said, I'll stick with Go On for a while, because it at least has the pieces to eventually become a successful comedy you can invest in—a smart, idiosyncratic sitcom with a real emotional core.
Then again, that pretty much describes Community. Does "more grieving, less paintball" equal "broad"?

adapted as "The Big Bounce"
Synopsis: Jack Ryan always wanted to play pro ball. But he couldn't hit a curveball, so he turned his attention to less legal pursuits. A tough guy who likes walking the razor's edge, he's just met his match -- and more -- in Nancy. She's a rich man's plaything, seriously into thrills and risk, and together she and Jack are pure heat ready to explode. But when simple housebreaking and burglary give way to the deadly pursuit of a really big score, the stakes suddenly skyrocket. Because violence and double-cross are the name of this game -- and it's going to take every ounce of cunning Jack and Nancy possess to survive ... each other.

After converting to Islam in 1992, Webb left his career in the music industry to pursue his passion in education. He earned a Bachelor's in Education from the University of Central Oklahoma and received intensive private training in the Islamic Sciences under a renowned Muslim Scholar of Senegalese descent. Webb was hired as the Imam at the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, where he gave khutbas (sermons), taught religious classes, and provided counselling to families and young people; he also served as an Imam and resident scholar in communities across the U.S.
From 2004-2010, Suhaib Webb studied at the world's preeminent Islamic institution of learning, Al-Azhar University, in the College of Shari`ah. During this time, after several years of studying the Arabic Language and the Islamic legal tradition, he also served as the head of the English Translation Department at Dar al-Ifta al-Misriyyah.
Outside of his studies at Al-Azhar, Suhaib Webb completed the memorization of the Quran in the city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia. He has been granted numerous traditional teaching licenses (ijazat), adhering to centuries-old Islamic scholarly practice of ensuring the highest standards of scholarship. Webb was named one of the 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Center in 2010.
A.Saleh says:
JAK for another wonderful speech. Totally agree about Muslims today wanting the dumb way of learning Islam. Its not like they cant understand the more detailed things, its just that they dont like putting the energy into such things, thinking that the dumb approach is sufficient… Very sad. Keep pounding them Imam Suhaib
Wsalams
Abdullah says:
Thanks ya Sheikhana.
On a different matter, I know of a Muslim man who hates his non-Muslim family/people and community. He lives in a Muslim majority country and therefore always humiliates and insults his people. It has become a pattern. This has created a lot of enmity between him and his people and they loathe him, very much. I think Islam does not encourage such behaviour. I would like to advise him through a letter, however, I need some examples (past and present) of Muslim men/women from non-Muslim families/people/states who were kind to their people and helped them either convert to Islam or at least understand it and thus became friends.
Jinan says:
Salaam alaikm
An example in the past is Abu Hurayra (ra). His mother even cursed the Prophet (pbuh) but he never mistreated her. He instead asked the Prophet (pbuh) to pray for her, and alhamdillah she accepted Islam. [story narrated in Muslim] But the point to take is that he never mistreated her.
A modern example is sister Aminah Assilmi (may Allah have mercy on her):
http://www.famousmuslims.com/Aminah%20Assilmi.htm
"By accepting Islam, she became a changed person, and a much better person. So much so that her family, relatives, and people around her started appreciating her mannerism and the faith that brought about such changes in her. Despite her family's initial reaction, she remained in touch with them and addressed them with respect and humility, just as the Qur'an enjoins the Muslims to do. She would send cards to her parents on different occasions, but she would always write down a verse from the Qur'an or the Hadith without mentioning the source of such beautiful words of wisdom. It was not long before she started making a positive influence among her family members.
The first to become Muslim was her grand mother. She was over 100 years old…."
shakib says:
i enjoyed and benefitted from the lecture, as much as I used to back from the small pulput in edmond mosque. just curious to know who was the sheikh that was present duing the conversion of Brother Suhaib?
sharmarke says:
Salaam Alaykum,
Sh. Yusf Estes.
jzk brother for clarifying that, a tree is known by the fruit it bears…sh. estes is surely that tree.
Ali Hussayni says:
I am curious what Suhaib Webb's views are on the Baha'i religion?
Reem says:
SubhanAllah – excellent advice in this speech! definitely something to remember:
Again and again and again, the scholars, regardless of time or place have concluded a simple message: the goal of Islam is to bring what benefits humanity and what prevents harm. (~15:00)
"As a young Muslim, living in America, that has a profound set of overtones for you, that your JOB is to bring benefit to EVERYONE, indiscriminately of who they are." (19:27)
Excellent speech…jazak'Allahu khair ya Sh. Suhaib.

OLHZN-10: Arduino Pro Mini APRS Weather Balloon Tracking System
By Overlook Horizon|2020-03-28T09:31:47-04:00March 21st, 2018|Categories: Our Flights, Weather Balloons|Tags: arduino, arduino pro mini, high altitude balloon, olhzn10, shrimpy, weather balloon|
OLHZN-10 was the tenth high altitude weather balloon flight for Overlook Horizon High Altitude Balloons. This flight launched on March 21, 2018 at 4:00pm ET (20:00 UTC). The focus of this flight was to test our new miniature Arduino Pro Mini radio tracking system. This new micro-system is intended to allow us more flexibility for future flights. We intend to use this system for multiple purposes due to it's inexpensive nature. We'll be using it for standalone flights when the chances of recovery may be small and also as a backup secondary tracking system on-board our larger regular flights. This flight did not utilize any of our Lightdow LD4000 cameras and strictly focused just on the radio tracking systems.
The launch procedures proceeded normally for the preparation of OLHZN-10. Our checklist and countdown procedures appeared to be timed appropriately to have adequate time for the preparations and launching on time. Launch occurred at exactly 4:00pm EDT after battling some heavy gusty winds just seconds before liftoff. The flight proceeded normally and the radio tracking system was accurately reporting it's position with no anomalies to report. The flight proceeded through the coldest part of the troposphere and survived the super low temperatures that reached as low as -55°F at an altitude of 33,595 FT. The flight then proceeded to burst at approximately 65,000 FT. The highest recorded altitude was 64,388 FT., although altitude reports for the micro-payload were occurring on 90 second intervals so a slightly higher altitude is likely in between transmissions. Our larger payload flights record altitude readings every 1 second to an on-board SD card, which this payload does not have.
After balloon burst, we received 1 final radio transmission that reported a lower altitude (63,568 FT.), a 3mb increase in pressure and a 20°F drop in temperature down to -47°F. These reading indicated that balloon burst had occurred and that the payload was now descending. Sadly, no further radio transmissions were received after this. Likely, the completely exposed payload suffered from rapid cooling causing the Energizer Lithium Ultimate AA Batteries to "brown out" and not be able to provide enough power to the flight computer. It was discovered on OLHZN-11 that the wire antenna being used for the flight was too rigid and would snap off during descent. OLHZN-12 will implement flexible guitar wire to resolve this. The payload is expected to have landed in a 3.75 square mile area that is only about 4.5 miles from the launch site. This would make this flight the shortest downrange landing ever achieved by us, but without a confirmed recovery we cannot officially call the record. Although the flight was not recovered, extensive data was collected during the ascent phase of the flight and allowed us to test numerous systems and post-flight analysis processes so partial success was still achievable. This payload will fly again with some minor modifications. The payload does contain a label with contact information so we're still hopeful that someone may find it someday. We'll be testing this again on the next flight.
Mission Details
Tech Changes
This is the first flight of our micro-tracking system. It utilizes a 3.3V Arduino Pro Mini as the main tracking system along with a BME280 for collecting pressure, temperature and humidity data.
Payload Weight: 100g
This micro-tracker only weighs 100g which is only 6% of the weight of our regular fully loaded payload. It will utilize a much smaller balloon (200g) and a much smaller parachute (18″) to allow for experimentation on ascent and descent rates. The manufacturer for this tiny parachute doesn't publish descent rate tables so we're uncertain on the actual descent speed that we'll achieve. The payload will certainly fall slow enough to be safe, but the main concern would be the payload descending too slowly and drifting for a long distance. At only 100g, the balloon remnants alone will cause enough drag to slow down the payload, but the parachute provides extra caution, but hopefully not too much.
Max Altitude: 64,388 FT.
This flight used a much small 200g balloon and was only expected to reach an altitude of around 73,000 FT. As there were no cameras on-board this flight, the maximum altitude wasn't much of a concern for us. Primarily, we were interested in testing the radio tracking systems to ensure they operate as expected. The burst ended up occurring early at just over 64,000 FT. The highest altitude recorded was 64,388 FT, however, this micro-payload only relays altitude readings every 90 seconds which is much different than our larger flights that record altitude readings every 1 second to an onboard SD card. Since there is a 90 second gap between the highest reading and the next descending reading, the payload likely achieved an altitude closer to 65,000 FT. at its peak.
Minimum Temperature: -55° F
The lowest temperature recorded was -55°f which was measured at 33,595 FT. in altitude at the upper edge of the troposphere. The payload was also expected to reach super low temperatures during the descent phase, but the payload stopped transmitting during the descent so no further readings were received. The super cold temperatures reached during descent were a likely reason for the payload failure during the descent.
Help us #FindShrimpy
The actual flight path for this flight (pink) followed very closely to our final flight path prediction (orange) that was made a few hours prior to the launch. This accurate prediction helps give us confidence in our flight prediction methods and has also helped us narrow the search radius down for the payload to just a 3.75 square miles. At 2400 acres, it's still a very large area to cover, but maybe someone will find it some day. The actual path was recorded up until just a few seconds after balloon burst and the balloon icon indicates it's last known position. The balloon was expected to continue following the shape presented in the orange predicted flight path. The balloon did burst earlier than expected so this would shift the predicted landing to the Northwest of the predicted landing shown just slightly.
Sounding Data
One of the main goals of this flight was to refine our post-flight data analysis operations so that we could quickly generate useful weather data from our flights. Although this flight has yet to be recovered, it was able to measure the entire ascent operation and send back extremely valuable data for us to be able to test and refine our post-flight data analysis. On future flights, we'll now be able to quickly generate sounding files in the same format provided by UWYO and also be able to quickly generate Skew-T log-P graphs for sharing the atmospheric conditions present during our flights. Our data is visualized on this Skew-T log-P diagram. You can also download a copy of our sounding file here.
Additional Flight Data
Flight Predictions
These were the final flight path predictions that were submitted to the FAA. The last prediction put the landing zone about 4.4 miles from our launch site which means that this flight has the potential to break our minimum downrange recovery distance record, although it has not been recovered so we cannot say for sure. Our current shortest downrange recovery record is 5.01 miles from OLHZN-8.
Launch Time: March 21, 2018 at 4:00PM ET (20:00 UTC)
Target Ascent Rate: 5 m/s
Target Burst Altitude: 73,123 ft.
Expected Time to Burst: 74 minutes
Target Helium Volume: 23 cu ft.
Payload Mass: 100g (0.22 lbs)
Target Neck Lift: 467g
Expected Landing Speed: 5 m/s
Expected Descent Time: 41 minutes

Review:This is another very popular book I just didn't connect with. It could be because all I heard going in was how crazy and twisted it was. What's real? What isn't? Is Mara crazy? Maybe it's because I just finished a truly twisty book (Mind Games by Kiersten White) but I didn't feel like there was a big mystery. Mara just needed to regain her memories in my opinion. Then the book took a sudden turn towards the paranormal that pretty much strips away all the psychological build up and gives an easy out. I guessed almost everything from that point on.
I think the biggest problem I had is that both Mara and her love interest Noah felt flat to me. While it wasn't quite insta-love…it turned inexplicably from we're attracted to each other to I love you. And what's with Noah and the "mine" crap? Noah is the hot, brilliant, British, rich boy who's a man whore (yet maybe not) that has finally found a connection with a girl. He's ok when you get to know him but his alpha tendencies turned me off and he's just too unbelievably perfect.
The writing and plotting felt uneven to me. There were endless descriptions of Mara's day then something big would finally happen only to have Mara or Noah just walk away like ti was nothing. The next page we're on to a new thing. I felt like I was paying attention to everything for no reason. There seemed to dozens of things going on: an abused dog, a mean girl scenario, visions of dead people, court cases, teachers who throw chalk at their students (?), kidnappings and more yet it at over 400 pages it never really amounts to anything.
Rating: 2.5 out of 4 So….I didn't so much dislike this book as I didn't have any strong feelings either way. It was fine but not the compelling psychological thriller I was expecting although I am glad that I read it.
Update: I read book #2, The Evolution of Mara Dyer and while I did connect with the characters more this time around, I still feel like the author keeps setting up these BIG moments only to drop them in the next chapter.
After almost 1000 pages between the two books I don't feel like we've gotten very far.
Again, I still don't find this series very twisty. It's hard for me to describe this without spoilers so I'll be all cryptic…..the whole premise holding the story together is an unreliable narrator. I don't find Mara unreliable. The story seems very straightforward to me. I guess I'm a party pooper and can't just let my mind go with it.
Almost everyone loves this series and finds it to be crazy twisty and dark so I definitely think you should all give it a try despite my opinions. Most readers enjoy the second book even more, which is why I gave it a shot. I'm just curious enough to see how she wraps this up in one book so I'll probably read book #3 too.
* Information and cover reveal for book #3 The Retribution of Mara Dyer. I LOVE this cover. It's my favorite from the series.
It was ok. I didn't hate it or anything - just didn't love it. Thanks for reading it with me!
I am feeling like that with Gillian Flynn. Everyone thinks she is brilliant and I think she is discussion worthy. Her books always leave me wanting something (stronger beginning, stronger end, one character I at least can tolerate). So I get it!
I'm afraid to read Gone Girl. I must be jaded or something but I hardly ever find things as twisty and dark as other readers so I end up dissapointed.
Sorry to hear you feel this way. I've started this book but haven't finished it as yet - I guess I wasn't in the mood. Hopefully I'll pick it up soon. Great honest review.
For me - it picked up but then slowed down....repeatedly.I hope when you do get back to it that you enjoy it more.
And THIS is why I've never opened my copy of book one. I'm afraid of the hype. I guess the only thing I can do is give it a try. Sorry you didn't connect.
I think you would like it Andrea. My mind is too practical for this type of series. I can't really get into it without spoiling but I just can't buy into certain things the author is trying to do so that doesn't leave much of a plot for me to get caught up in.
I liked the first one - haven't read the second - but didn't love it. Noah was my problem - he fell way too fast, too quickly & I really just didn't buy it. I'm not sure I'll continue with the series.
The relationship and Noah are explained more int he 2nd book. I understood and liked him more but their relationship still doesn't work for me. It's too intense and a little unhealthy in my opinion for barely knowing each other.
I am so conflicted about starting this series...some people rave about it and some like you are just "meh." Guess it is one that you really just have to experience for yourself to see if it works for you!
I was really dusappointed with the first book too, there was so much promise but, meh. I was tempted by the second book but after seeing your thoughts I'll probably skip it (unless I find it for 50p in charity shop, that I can't resist).
That's too bad! I haven't read this one, idk if I will or not now, haha. I'm sorry it didn't work for you.


The skinny on editing the path If you are using a Linux computer, a Mac, or a Windows machine with Cygwin, you can use a makefile to build the code. You do not need to do the steps on this page and you can go on to the next step, CompileCode.
There are vast amounts of atomic data that the code must reference in order to compute a model. These are the files that live in the data directory. The code must be able to find these data files. Their location is stored in the code. This information needs to be updated so that it gives the location of the data on your machine.
Setting the path to the data files is done automatically when compiling the code with make. You can modify the default path generated by make by using the first method. The second method is to add an extra parameter to the compiler options when compiling from the command line, and the third method is to edit the file path.h in the source directory (the last two methods are deprecated since version C17).
Since Cloudy version C06.02, compiling the code with make will automatically set the search path for the data files. The method described below is only needed if you want to modify the default path generated by make. The latter should suffice for the needs of most users. If you are not sure what the explanations below mean, simply compile the code with make and skip the rest of this page.
If the environment variable is defined during compilation, it will override the default setting generated by make and this path will be stored in the executable. If the environment variable is defined during execution, it will always override the path stored in the executable. This behavior will be changed in the first major release after C17. From then on the environment variable will only affect the code during execution, but will not affect compilation of the code.
When Cloudy looks for a data file, it will first look in the directory /usr/gary/cloudy/data. If it doesn't find the file there, it will look in /usr/gary/local_data instead. The latter is convenient for storing locally generated data such as grain opacity or stellar atmosphere files. Storing them in /usr/gary/local_data avoids having to move them around every time you switch to a new Cloudy version.
This way you don't have to worry what the correct path would be to the standard data files that are distributed with Cloudy! The special path component "+" is only supported when you use make to compile the code.
This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
In Cloudy version C07.02 and before there were two names for the data path, CLOUDY_DATA_PATH and LOCAL_DATA_PATH. In Cloudy version C08 there is only one, CLOUDY_DATA_PATH. Use CLOUDY_DATA_PATH where LOCAL_DATA_PATH appears below for version C08 and later.
Edit the file path.h (located in the source directory) and locate the variable CLOUDY_DATA_PATH. There are two instances, one for windows and another for unix. If you are using Cygwin on Windows you should set the unix path. You need to edit the correct one for your operating system. Change the string within the double quotes so that it gives the location of the data on your computer.
* Specify a search path to data directories here.
* by semi-colon signs ";". The path must be enclosed between double quotes.
The double backslash is needed on Windows systems to prevent the character following the slash from being interpreted as an escape sequence.
The string giving the path MUST have the proper directory mark as the last character before the second quote. This would be a "/" in Unix, a "
" in Windows, and a "]" in VMS.
C++ syntax for the newcomer There must be two double-quotes. The path is the series of characters between them. The line must end with a semicolon. Lines that start with are comments. One of the paths will be commented out.
If the path is longer than FILENAME_PATH_LENGTH characters then increase the size of FILENAME_PATH_LENGTH in cddefines.h and recompile the entire code. Remember that in C++ a string must have one extra byte for storing the end-of-string sentinel.
If you store your *.ini initialization files in the data directory then the ini files will be automatically found by the code.
Next step: CompileCode - compile the code.

Adderall abuse can cause a person to become overactive and excited often, especially because the drug promotes wakefulness and energy even when taken in small amounts. According to CESAR, it will also cause a person to develop symptoms of a superiority complex which will be especially obvious when they are intoxicated. "Unrealistic feelings of cleverness, great competence, and power" are common with this abuse syndrome and should be noted. This is extremely important if the individual has never displayed signs of this kind of fixation or behavior before.
It can make a person feel good or more energetic when they start to lose weight. However, doing so quickly and without the regular routine of diet and exercise can mean that there is something wrong. Many individuals abuse Adderall because it can cause weight loss, but this occurs as a result of the drug's appetite suppression. The NIDA states, this can lead to "malnutrition and its consequences." It is important to take notice of this kind of sudden and inexplicable weight loss as it can be a sign of Adderall abuse.
For whatever reason a person starts abusing Adderall, they will fall into a pattern of doing so often, which will make them less likely to spend time around people who do not approve. A change in friendship circles may point to this kind of drug abuse, especially if the new individuals are drug users too. The person will likely neglect old friends for these new ones which will cause a rift in their social circle.
Adderall abuse can cause constant sickness.
Taking Adderall chronically when not prescribed to do so can cause reduced immunity. This is "due to malnutrition and lack of sleep," according to the Better Health Channel. It will also lead to the individual getting sick much more often, either with colds, the flu, or other common issues. This is a dangerous sign of Adderall abuse, especially for someone who was did not become sick as often in the past.
"The need to use other drugs, such as sleeping tablets," is common among Adderall abusers who have been taking the drug for a very long time. Adderall causes intense side effects which the individual may try to medicate with other drugs. For example, users sometimes take aspirin or acetaminophen constantly in order to combat headaches, and others will take sleeping pills like Ambien to force themselves to sleep after being on Adderall for too long. This kind of behavior is often overlooked and is especially dangerous as it could lead to polydrug addiction.
Another little-known symptom of Adderall abuse is a sudden tendency toward panic attacks. According to the NLM, "Panic attacks can not be predicted" and may involve sweating, trembling, palpitations, nausea, and feelings of being choked or choking. Abusing Adderall can cause these attacks to become a more constant occurrence, and the disorder that is associated with them (referred to as panic disorder) can often become a comorbid issue for someone who is also abusing amphetamines.
This is a common side effect of drug abuse, especially any stimulant-based drugs like ecstasy, methamphetamine, or even prescription medications like Adderall. A person who abuses these drugs will feel more at ease in social situations and less shy, another reason why many people start taking them in the first place. However, this can lead to dangerous behavior and risky sexual practices as well as other problems.
Those who abuse Adderall will begin to pick at the skin as a result of long-term, chronic use, an issue that is also caused by methamphetamine. This occurs because the user feels itchy much of the time and may eventually become plagued by hallucinations of bugs burrowing under the skin. Sores like these are a sign that the person's Adderall abuse has progressed far beyond the occasional hit and indicates they are more than likely already addicted to the drug.
In addition, acne and other skin disorders can occur, mostly because the individual will not be taking care of themselves. They will also experience illness from their weakened immune system, making their skin less healthy and more susceptible to disorders that manifest in a visible way.
Many people understand stroke and heart attack to be the main dangers when a person overdoses on Adderall. However, seizures can occur both during an acute Adderall overdose and when an individual has been abusing the drug in high doses over time. Someone undergoing a seizure should be spoken to calmly and supported (not forced to bite down on something as this could be dangerous). Still, this is a serious side effect of amphetamine abuse, according to the NLM, and should be treated right away.
"Changes in vision or blurred vision" are another common sign of Adderall abuse that is often overlooked. Many individuals will attempt to pass it off as an issue for their optometrist when really it is being caused by their excessive Adderall use. Any changes in vision that occur simultaneously with someone's consistent Adderall use should be considered a sign that abuse may be involved, as it is one of the more serious side effects of the drug. It can also lead to accidents if the individual ignores the issue.
These signs are often overlooked and can be the warnings which occur before more intense issues start to surface. If you notice your loved one who uses Adderall beginning to exhibit the signs listed above, it is likely that they are abusing this drug consistently and often, for which they may need professional substance abuse treatment.


A couple fairly intense HDR sunset shots over the Belle Isle bridge from last night.
AIW – anytime you are ready, Im working on my house everyday this summer -so my schedule is very flexible.
JonB – yeah, an HDR is an average of 7 or more photos taken in sequence. The clouds are stobed because they move a little bewteen shots.
so, are the clouds that are closer to the camera slightly blurry because you have to take several successive shots? i still don't quite understand the sequence of operations for HDR.
FANTASTIC pics, though. everything you've done so far with HDR has been breathtaking.
Funkster, you rock. I tried messing with HDR and I was fairly unsuccssful.


Some schools may state the cost per semester or the cost per credit hour. But the key number is the total cost of the program, from start to finish.
Can I take this paperwork home and review it? Can I call you back next week?
With a decision costing tens of thousands of dollars, it is wise to take the documents home and read online reviews of the school.
In any dispute with the school, legal or otherwise, what's in the documents is what matters, and the documents are written by the school.
If the school applies pressure by saying "classes are filing up" or "this program won't be available next week" — that is a red flag. There will always be time to sign up next week.
Does my community college have this same program?
Many times, programs at expensive for-profit schools are offered at the community college for much less money. Florida has some of the best community colleges in the nation. An added benefit: Community college credits transfer to other schools. There are legitimate reasons to attend a career college, but it is important to do the comparison.
This is the key question when it comes to transferring college credits. Schools will always say they are accredited, but if they don't have regional accreditation, their credits won't transfer to traditional schools. Most career colleges don't have regional accreditation — they are "nationally" accredited, which sounds impressive but is actually a sign that the credits aren't transferable.
If you are a student who feels you were misled or harmed by a college, you can file a complaint with Florida's Commission for Independent Education, the Florida Attorney General, or the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Filing a complaint may not immediately solve your problem, but it still matters — the attorney general, for example, is more likely to investigate a school if there are lots of complaints filed.
In a few circumstances, students may be able to discharge their federal student loans. For example, if a school closes while you are attending, and you don't finish the program through a "teach out" at another school, those loans may qualify for a discharge. Another situation where students can ask the federal government for a discharge is if they were enrolled but weren't actually eligible for the program — this could mean a student who didn't have the required high school diploma, or a student who enrolled in a medical program but has a criminal record (which usually disqualifies them from employment). Because the school should not have enrolled these students in the first place, students can ask for a discharge.

Egypt launches an E-waste recycling app for its citizens
EGYPT – The government of Egypt has announced the launch of E-Tadweer, an app that helps improve recycling of e-waste in the North African country.
Launched two years after it was first presented, E-Tadweer allows users to dispose of old electronics at delivery points in exchange for vouchers that they can use to purchase new electronic products from partner stores.
E-waste has become the fastest-growing category of household waste in the world, according to a study by the World Health Organization.
Ahmed Fayez, an official at the Ministry of Environment said: "Users can subscribe to the E-Tadweer app and upload pictures of electronic devices they no longer need or old tools that no longer have a market.
"They can then head to the points designated by the app and hand over the devices. Users will then receive electronic vouchers provided by the companies that receive the waste."
According to figures cited by the ministry, Egypt produces an estimated 90,000 tons of e-waste annually, 58 percent of which comes from the private sector, 23 percent from households, and 19 percent from the public sector.
"This electronic waste contains harmful chemicals such as mercury and lead, which can eventually reach the soil and water if the devices are not disposed of in the right way," added Fayez.
Jamal Al-Muslimi, a member of the E-Tadweer team, added that the government was expected to announce several incentives for private companies working in waste management.
The World Health Organization has warned against using incorrect methods to remove materials from electronic waste, which has a significant impact on human health, especially on children.
The launch of the app comes at a time when the authorities in Egypt are considering changes in the policies about hazardous waste.
In the country hazardous waste is targeted specifically toward industries that produce and manufacture commodities, such as refrigerators.
Computers and mobile phones are not produced in Egypt, only assembled from imported parts, and thus do not fall under the category of hazardous waste.
The law is more intent on setting rules for production rather than on the management of it once it's obsolete. As such, it goes to the scrap handlers, or informal recyclers.
With the formulation of better e-waste policies coupled with public-private sector collaboration, proper management of e-waste in the North African country is inevitable.

If you have a small business, then the opportunities are you would enjoy to have somebody taking care of the IT needs of your firm. From maintaining data protected, ensuring that hardware and software are operating ideally, along with keeping on leading the ever-changing regulative framework, there is much to do.
Several small businesses could have a person, or a small team, caring for the tech, however there are times when outside, and professional, support is required. By using the solutions of a remote IT support business, a creating organisation could get the support they need, without the prices of employing and also educating their staff. This permits the proprietor as well as various other employees to focus on delivering and also establishing the core solutions they use their customers.
You do not need to set up an IT division if you require technical support neither do you need to add individuals to the payroll. Many small companies work from residence, yet that does not suggest that you cannot get expert help when you require it. There are lots of affordable techniques to obtaining IT support, yet the first thing you should take into consideration is how having the support in place can assist to boost not just your organisation however likewise your peace of mind.
The very first point you should consider is how your company would run if your email system or data source went down while you were out cold? You would not have the ability to contact every client to supply a different get in touch with approach, as a matter of fact, you would not also find out about it up until the following morning. It's not simply e-mails from possible clients/customers that you can lose. If you have actually not supported your systems, you may go to a total loss and also have to start from scratch apologising to consumers that have actually been let down therefore.
Having trustworthy support in position will certainly enable troubles to be quickly determined and also fixed so that company could return to as usual. Having IT support solutions can protect against issues from happening, so none of your ways of communication drops at all.
It is important to keep anti-virus and malware upgraded as the updates are available in to avoid being a target for new hazards. For home customer atmosphere and usual use such as going to social media network websites, getting hold of buying and also doing research this is typically sufficient, as well as the threat of losing masses of details is not likely to be there. As a business owner, it is your duty to maintain your info risk-free, along with that of your clients. All you need is for a virus to discover it's method into your organisation network or a malicious hacker to access your personal documents then you can not just shed valuable information yet additionally risk being taken to court for breaching Data Protection policies. Having committed IT support solutions will indicate you can rest simple as they will certainly ensure all your software to secure information depends on date at all times.
With Windows 7 support being taken out in a couple of years, as well as several services still utilising it, it shows how slow-moving lots of organisations remain in going on top of tech growths. System upgrades are no one's favorite point to do, however without them, you crucial software and data could be in jeopardy. Having the best support will mean you don't need to worry about, or avoid, vital upgrades. Much easier than scheduling time and also of course safer compared to leaving it to possibility.
Outsourcing your demands indicates that you will not have to work with a team that is paid a certain quantity each week/month whether or not you require them. You could gain from adaptability such as determining whether you need remote help or on-site support. It could be something as straightforward as obtaining added support when you have new software to set up to make certain everything runs efficiently. Whatever you need you will always be able to call on specialist help when you need it most whether that's night and day or the strange occasion.
Do not leave your technology and also individual files without ample defense, essential updates to remain ahead of the hackers and viruses. This can be a pricey and even lawful migraine that you don't wish to deal with. The earlier you pass this duty to the specialists the sooner you can return to assisting your company expand.
Remote IT support permits our knowledgeable designers to access your systems from our office. On those events where we require to physically be existing, we will visit your place, at a time that is practical for your company.

Scottish Art Events: February 2020
Timely art exhibitions and events take place across the country all of this month by international and locally-based contemporary artists
Preview by Adam Benmakhlouf | 04 Feb 2020
In Edinburgh, from the beginning of the month Sulaïman Majali's new sound and sculptural work will be installed around Collective, drawing out alternative and diasporic narratives of the area. Later in the month, Talbot Rice Gallery hosts a group show of artists called the Pine's Eye, bringing together artistic responses to the current environmental crisis (29 Feb - 9 May). In Rhubaba, they host the first of a series of workshops titled No School! mainly for undergraduate students interested in alternate forms of education, and open to all.
In Glasgow, there are two new shows opening at CCA on 7 February. Shuvinai Ashoona's enchanting drawings come from fantasies and imagined scenes of community life amongst settled communities, and the complexity of contemporary life in the wake of Arctic colonialism. Opening on the same evening is a show of new works by artist Isabella Widger, whose drawings, writing and sculpture will revolve around a painted autobiographical work by Charlotte Salomon – whose arresting and sensitive output was cut short by her murder by Nazis in 1943.
Market Gallery's first exhibition of the year is by Aman Sandhu, who had a five-star show in the CCA last year. Sandhu's sculptures, text-based work and videos 'mediate feelings of scepticism about how bodies of colour are consumed in the name of representation to find solidarity and healing within that nervous terrain' (8 Feb - 20 Mar).
On 13 February, The Common Guild host a primer by New York-based Palestinian artists Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme in Kelvin Hall. Their collaborative and diverse multimedia practice probes a contemporary landscape shaped by politics of desire and disaster.
In Dundee's Cooper Gallery, Ambiguous Becoming is a diverse selection of video work from Canada on the subject of the body as a site of constant flux and change. This broad base is the shared ground of several artists who investigate identity and existing in a racist, unequal society. There are two related events on 12 Feb (5.30-7pm) and 20 Feb (6-8pm), before the show closes on 22 February.
In Dundee Contemporary Arts, their group show and events programme Seized by the Left Hand continues. As a shared beginning point, the artists have been selected as relevant to some of the radical politics and philosophy of the sci-fi writer Ursula K Le Guin. Mystical-fantastical poet Nisha Ramayya leads a related event on 20 February, 6-7pm.

Selected country (Ghana)
W220Fi lllinois
W 220 Fi Mills Road Surface 46 cm Deep
In Illinois, USA, a W 220 Fi large milling machine is being used to remove an entire road surface in just two passes. Thanks to the Mill Assist machine control system, the milling operations are being carried out particularly cost-effectively. In the process, the Wirtgen Performance Tracker is responsible for the job's precise documentation.
With a working width of 2.5 meters, the Wirtgen W 220 Fi milled off the 46 cm thick road surface in two passes.
Mill Assist Plays Vital Role
To rehabilitate the on-ramp and off-ramp to Interstate 55 in Bolingbrook, Illinois, the contractors opted for a W 220 Fi with 812 PS because the demanding milling job required a machine that offers both maximum productivity and efficiency. In order to allocate the large milling machine's tremendous power reserves to the various machine components as required, Mill Assist dynamically controls the machine's operating point. This means that it automatically adjusts the speed of the diesel engine and milling drum, the travel drive, the machine's advance rate, and its water consumption to match changing job site conditions.
A Wide Range of Applications
Mill Assist also automatically controls the two-speed Dual Shift powershift transmission. In combination with the diesel engine, this enables the milling drum speeds to be increased and decreased. Thanks to the significantly increased range of possible milling drum speeds, the large milling machines in the new F series can be used for a wide range of applications. For Mark Lindbloom, head of operations at K-Five Construction, the W 220 Fi's drive concept also had an impact on the company's purchase decision. "The two-speed powershift transmission was very appealing to us. It puts the horsepower to the pavement on long sections of road [and at smaller milling depths] as well as when working at larger milling depths." As a result, lower milling drum speeds can be used, which reduces both fuel consumption and pick wear. At higher speeds, it's possible to achieve a high-quality milling pattern while still covering large areas.
In addition to the standard Mill Assist machine control system, the machine was also equipped with the Wirtgen Performance Tracker. It precisely and reliably documents the actual milling work performed.
The Right Operating Strategy Pays Off
For the complete two-layer removal of the entire road surface in Illinois, the W 220 Fi was equipped with a standard 2.5 m milling drum fitted with 196 picks. The job needed to be carried out in a cost-effective manner. As a result, the W 220 Fi milled in ECO mode, one of three operating strategies that machine operators can select from on the new large milling machines from Wirtgen. In ECO mode, Mill Assist always seeks the machine operating point with the most favorable fuel and pick consumption per cubic meter of milled material. At the same time, it also reduces CO₂ and noise emissions .
Speaking of performance, the large milling machine was also delivered with a Wirtgen Performance Tracker (WPT), which precisely determines the machine's surface milling performance, milling volume, and consumption rates. All of the key performance and consumption data are shown to the milling machine operator in the operator's cabin in real time. Immediately after completing a milling job, the data is also e-mailed to the machine owner in an automatically generated report. "When we purchase a machine, we expect reliability, versatility, value, and performance. The W 220 Fi offers all of these qualities and, thanks to the WPT, a significant technological upgrade. It allows us to measure our performance extremely accurately," explains Lindbloom. "We've used telematics systems before, but never at this level. We're confident that the technology will help us increase our efficiency."
As such, foreman Ed Mesko summed up the milling work near Interstate 55 in a positive light: "The W 220 Fi has numerous features that make life easy for machine operators and the ground crew. It is packed full of technology and performance."

Sophia is an active philanthropist who advocates for women's rights and the need for women protection laws and a department that efficiently caters to domestic violence survivors' emergencies.
The fourth wave of feminism picked up the pace with the Me Too Movement, which took the internet by storm; However, the term was first used in 2006; the movement and use of #metoo started in 2017 when an actress used the social media platform to speak against the harassment she faced. That was it. It ignited the fire among women all over the world. It was a moment that sparked the need for a sense of self-worth in women, the need to be respected and provided with protection, and their right to live life on their terms. Since then, many women have gathered the confidence to share what they went through, and one such indestructible woman is Sophia Dias.
Sophia has penned all that stayed deep in her heart for years in her autobiography, 'Bullet- Proof,' which sheds light on domestic violence, the most common form of violence experienced by women worldwide. She wrote about the darkest days of her life, going through harassment, intimidation, ridiculing, and abuse. 'I feel it is my responsibility to speak about my journey. It is never too late to make the right decision, even if a handful of women decide to come out of the abusive houses, I will feel I have played a significant role in helping women,' shared Sophia as she got emotional recalling all that left her with trauma for years.
Today Sophia is known as a fashion designer who creates beautiful, stand-out pieces; the fashionist uses her experience of traveling to countries of different cultures and fashion in her work. She is also a musician, writer, and producer, recently launched a collection of 7 songs album in Jamaica in collaboration with Tuff Gong Studios; she also shares a love for cooking, which she plans to pursue, 'I have to be doing something or the other, that is just me, maybe I will come up with some of my secret recipes in future,!' Sophia jokingly said in an exchange a light hearted conversation with media. She is currently traveling across America to promote her book.
'Bullet-Proof' is a must-read book for all the women going through a rough patch in their lives, especially the ones facing difficulties of surviving in a toxic household. It has a message of hope for new beginnings and so much that life has to offer behind the walls of an abusive household which shatters their self-esteem and will to live on their terms. The book's early reviews are out, praising the journey of Sophia that she championed like a rock-solid woman.
Sophia is an active philanthropist who advocates for women's rights and the need for women protection laws and a department that efficiently caters to domestic violence survivors' emergencies. She is a regular volunteer at 'The Madonna House,' which organizes painting and cooking classes for women. Sophia has traveled to Israel to help and support the refugee children; she continues to make every difference in the society she can, an important step of the process of which is her decision to write her autobiography, 'Bullet-Proof is something very close to me, I hope it also becomes a companion for all the women looking for a way out, to archive all they have dreamt for,' Sophia concluded.

We study the observability of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation and of the beam and plate equations by moving or oblique observations. Applying different versions and adaptations of Ingham's theorem on nonharmonic Fourier series, we obtain various observability and non-observability theorems. Several open problems are also formulated at the end of the paper.
Keywords: Schrödinger equation, beam, plate, observability, nonharmonic Fourier series.

Early this year, I did a little experiment trying Gelli printing with Distress Oxide on black paper. I did one in blue and named it L'Amour est Bleu. Then I made one in pink as well but figured rather than blog about it, save it till Valentine's. Yes, Valentine's Day is coming up this Thursday! So I have been working on a few kawaii projects pertaining to this special day. Anyway, here is the first of the series.
Here I used the square mini Gelli plate and rolled out the excess ink from the brayer on the paper as well. A series of stamps were used too, as were some stencils in a variety of heart shapes. I just went in a frenzy just adding one layer after another! The Distressed Oxide on black paper is cool idea given, well obviously, the oxidized effect of the ink. Looks so chic!

Librarian Turned Author, Carole Estby Dagg!
Please Roar today's guest, author Carole Estby Dagg!
Carole has stopped by to share her Library Love with us, and what better person to do that than a former librarian turned author!
A Bit of Background – Carole the Librarian
Carole started volunteering in her school library in 1952, later she worked her way through the University of Washington at the NE Branch of the Seattle Public Library in the early 60's, earned her library science degree at the University of British Columbia, and has seen school, academic, and public library operations from the standpoint of volunteer, page, circulation desk clerk, children's librarian, branch manager, and assistant director.
And Now Author!
She crossed over to the other side—the writing side—with her first book after she retired from Everett Public Library.
The Year We Were Famous
"Would you walk over four thousand miles to save your family's home?"
(Clarion Books, 2011)
Tell us about Your Library Love When You Were a Cub
In fourth grade, I looked forward to Thursdays, when my teacher let me spend most of day in the school library. Then, as now, school libraries were understaffed and librarians appreciated unpaid help from eager wanna-be librarians.
"Carole the cowgirl" this was taken a couple years before I started volunteering in the school library; 1950 was the year I met Great-aunt Clara.
I read to kindergarten and first grade classes as they came in, checked books in and out, repaired books, and processed new magazines. I loved rotating the date due stamp to the next due date, the smell of library paste, dipping the metal nib of a wooden-handled pen into India ink to letter date due cards, and most of all, having younger kids calling me the 'library girl' on the playground.
More Library Love
The Year We Were Famous couldn't have been written without the help of the librarians across the country who scrolled through microfilmed newspapers of 1896 to locate articles about Clara and Helga Estby (my great-aunt and great-grandmother) as they passed through on their 4,000-mile walk from Spokane, Washington to New York City.
Sketch of Great-aunt Clara and Great-grandmother Helga which appeared in the New York World in 1896
For each chapter, I checked out armfuls of books—often children's books with lots of illustrations—on everything from President McKinley to the eating habits of cougars. When The Year We Were Famous came out, the biggest event was at my home-town library, where the staff made me feel like a rock star, with my name in lights on the reader-board.
Here I'm in 1896 costume for a program about TYWWF at the San Juan Island Library
Here is my writer's shack. I currently write in Everett, and a converted woodshed on San Juan Island library.
Author's Roar
School librarians, with their involvement in Battle of the Books and reading circles, encourage love of reading—the basis for the lifelong learning students need. I saw first-hand how understaffed school libraries are when—after retirement from the local public library—I volunteered a morning a week at the local elementary school. The school librarian had a steady stream of classes coming in, so she had no time for collection maintenance. After I had weeded the entire collection, tossing geography books on Africa from the 1960's and sports biographies of people who were stars before even the students' parents were in school, the shelves so bare the PTSA had to organize a series of fund-raisers to replenish the shelves.
When I worked at a public library branch where nearly a third of the users were new to this country, I saw whole families came in for materials for the citizenship test and videos and DVDs that were the Rosetta Stone of learning a new language. I felt almost maternal joy when I saw a child who had known only a few words of English three years before come into the library speaking with nary an accent and acting as translator for his grandmother…or when an immigrant's daughter who had been in my preschool story hours came in a dozen years later for materials for her research paper on Freud.
Hooray for ALA!
ALA is the most important link between publishers, writers, librarians, and readers. My most memorable conference was in Seattle of January, 2007. As I came up to the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators booth, I found out that one of our own, Kirby Larson, had received a call that morning to tell her that her book Hattie Big Sky, had been named a Newbery Honor Book. I also took advantage of having so many publishers in one place to talk to representatives of publishers which had expressed interest in my manuscript – and ended up shaking hands with Jennifer Wingertzahn at Clarion Books, which ultimately published The Year We Were Famous.
A Lion's Pride of Programs
I love bookstore programs, but not every child has transportation to bookstores and the money to buy books. School and public libraries provide the accessible link between authors and their readers. As a children's librarian in a public library, I visited all the classrooms in the area to share my favorite books and talk up the summer reading program. As a new author, I've already talked to roughly seven hundred middle school students in their schools. As a member of The Class of 2k11, I visited libraries in New York City during Book Expo America Week.

My Favorite Librarian
My daughter, Emily Dagg, of course!
She's carrying on the mission of bringing children and books together and following literally in her mother's footsteps by having worked in three of the libraries I worked in many years ago. As current head of children's and young adult services for Everett Public Library, she has been involved in a series of fundraisers to create a new teen area. Here she is, showing off the new teen area at EPL.

Great interview. It's no wonder librarians become great writers–I have known a few myself. They're special special people. So pleased to see The Year We Were Famous highlighted here.
