Not a lot of people see how important lighting is. You can use it to brighten up a dark corner and make your kitchen a little bit happier. You don't have to buy powerful lamps and stuff like that. The idea is to put up lighting strategically around the place to draw attention to certain things that would have otherwise been unnoticed.
If you're planning to do a re-lighting project for your kitchen, you need to consider the points that you want to give emphasis too. You will need to put a good light source that lights the place where you do your cooking. You can put up small light bulbs as spotlights to special pictures you want your visitors to notice. There are so many things you can do with lighting.
Lighting is important if you are planning to give a new feel to your old kitchen. You don't even have to buy new furniture or paint the walls a new color, light bulbs installed at strategic places can enhance the overall appearance of an otherwise dark and dreary kitchen.
So the next time you are considering a new look for your kitchen, try changing up the lights a bit. You can save money if you buy small light bulbs in whole and install them yourself.

Ingredients: Unpasteurized Milk, Cheese Cultures Microbial Coagulant. Salt.
Bunker Hill Cheese Raw Milk Cheddar Cheese is produced without pasteurization. Pasteurization is a process where the milk is heated to not less than 161.5° F and held at that temperature for a minimum of 15 seconds. This process step is used to kill unwanted bacteria in the milk. There are many arguments in regards to the effect of the pasteurization to the proteins and fatty acids in milk. At this high of a temperature (161.5° F) it is argued that the proteins become denatured and that fatty acids are destroyed which eliminates a lot of the value one gets by eating or drinking dairy products.
In effort to supply our consumers with an option of choosing either pasteurized or unpasteurized (Raw Milk) cheese have made available our Raw Milk Cheddar Cheese. We produce our Raw Milk Cheddar according to the FDA Code of Federal Regulations 21CFR133.113. As stated in the regulations any cheddar cheese that is manufactured without aid of pasteurization must be stored at a temperature of not less than 35° F for a minimum of 60 days. Cheese being a fermented food, has its natural fermentation process a natural break down and formation of lactic acid. The increase of the lactic acid presence in the cheese helps in the destruction and protects the cheese from the growth of unwanted bacteria that was not eliminated in the pasteurization process. The Ohio Department of Agriculture who is Bunker Hill Cheese FDA representative and our regulatory agency does monitor our storage practices to assure the consumer that our Raw Milk Cheddar is indeed aged for the required 60 days.
We at Bunker Hill Cheese want our customers to be as informed about our products as possible. We pride ourselves in our cheeses and the fact that our milk comes from local farms. We hope the above information will help you make an informed decision in choosing the Bunker Hill Cheese of your choice.

Asparagus is the quintessential spring vegetable, high in iron, folate and vitamins K and A. Quick to cook and easy to pair with flavorful ingredients, asparagus can be a tasty side dish or the starring ingredient in a risotto or pasta main course.
Asparagus is also great for digestive health, because it's a pre-biotic, meaning it feeds the helpful bacteria that live in your gut. These good bacteria are responsible for everything from signaling your immune system and keeping digestion in check to producing vital B vitamins. When shopping for asparagus, look for spears that are free of blemishes and dry spots, and tips that are closed and firm. Use asparagus promptly -- it can spoil quickly.
Peas are high in fiber, vitamins C, K and B, and are easy to incorporate into many dishes. Watercress is a crunchy green with vitamin C, beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and some B vitamins. It adds a peppery flavor to dishes and salads. Here's a twist on a classic spring dish that showcases all these veggies and is deliciously creamy.
Trim off the tough ends of the asparagus and slice spears on the diagonal, making 3-inch sections.
Warm a large skillet and add the oil. As soon as the oil shimmers, add peas, asparagus and watercress along with the salt and cayenne, if desired. Cook vegetables two to three minutes until soft. Add the pasta to the pan and toss.
Turn heat to low. Stir in cream cheese and yogurt, tossing well to coat vegetables and pasta. Sprinkle on the Parmesan. Serve immediately.

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five–for" or "fifer") occurs when a bowler takes five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded by critics as a notable achievement, equivalent to a century from a batsman.

List of players
As of July 2022, only 11 players have taken five-wicket hauls in all three international formats.

GEOSRCS is used to list the sources to consider for automatically inserted geodetic segments. It is array of source names, where the sources need to be in the SCHED source catalogs. Since the geodetic segments are best done with strong, compact calibrators with well known positions, all sources of interest are likely to be in the standard SCHED catalog $SCHED/catalogs/sources.vlba. For more information about automatic insertion of geodetic segments, see the section on insertion of geodetic segments and the description of the parameter GEOSEG.
The list in the sample below is the standard set used by Mark Reid to generate the segments he provides, but with the names changed to match the names in sources.vlba. This would be a good list to use.
Options: Any valid source names.

Rainfall is a type of precipitation that occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into droplets that can no longer be suspended in the air. The occurrence of rainfall is dependant upon several factors. Things such as prevailing wind directions, ground elevation, location within a continental mass, and location with respect to mountain ranges all have a major impact on the possibility of precipitation. For example, did you know that every island of Hawaii has a dry side and a wet side (meaning that one side of the island gets significantly more rainfall than the other)? This is because the mountains push the air mass upward (also known as Orographic Precipitation) which causes the water vapor to condense into droplets. Condensation, and thus rainfall, can occur anytime that an air mass containing water vapor is cooled.
Dynamic or Adiabatic Cooling – Natural cooling of the vapor cloud happens as it expands within the environment around it. This is probably the largest contributor of rainfall.
Temperature Differentials across Air Masses – When two masses of air collide, the warmer one will cool as heat is transferred to the cooler air mass. These air masses are also called fronts. Often, storms will occur at the interface between a cold and warm front.
Cooling by Radiation – Radiation is the tendency of warm systems to release heat energy into the cooler environment around it. This is similar to dynamic or adiabatic cooling except for the fact the this is not associated with thermal expansion.
Contact Cooling with the Earth – Often times when air physically contacts objects on the earth, it will be cooled. While this doesn't account for too much rainfall, its effects can be seen as a morning dew or frost. Fog can also occur as a result of contact cooling.
Convective Storms – The sun heats the earth's surface and the air adjacent to it. As the air warms, it expands and rises upward into the atmosphere (this is also known as an updraft). At a certain point, the air mass begins to experience dynamic cooling. This can often result in precipitation. Because the warm air rises and cools rapidly, a high intensity and relatively short duration storm will result. These types of storms are typical of the summer season do to the larger temperature differentials experienced at this time of the year.
Orographic Storms – This type of precipitation results when wind forces moist air landward towards mountainous terrain. The mountains 'lift' the moist air masses high into the atmosphere. Once the air rises, it cools and allows for precipitation to occur. The windward side of the mountain will receive much more rain than the leeward side (the side being protected from the wind).
Frontal Storms – Air masses will move from high pressure regions to low pressure regions to form cold & warm fronts. When the warm and cold fronts collide in the atmosphere, turbulence is created (which leads to thunder and lighting). The warm air is forced upward over the cold air because it is less dense. The frontal stratification and rapid lifting results in precipitation at interface of the two air masses.
Intensity - Intensity is a measure of how much rain has fallen during a specific amount of time. Usually this value will be reported in inches per hour or millimeters per hour. A very intense storm may drop rain at a rate of 5 to 10 inches per hour. while a tranquil sprinkle may precipitate at a rate of 0.2 to 0.4 inches per hour. Rainfall intensity is probably the single most important factor when engineers design highway and flood control structures.
Duration - Rainfall duration is the amount of time that it has been raining. Typically, longer duration storms have lower average intensities. High intensities are generally associated with short duration storms.
Frequency - Storm frequency is a measure of the probability or risk of occurrence. For a given storm duration, the probability that a rainfall event has of being equaled or exceeded in one year is known as its recurrence interval. The inverse of the recurrence interval is called the return period. Many of you have probably heard the "100-year" storm. A 100-year storm (return period) has a 1% chance (recurrence interval) of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. Also note that a 100-year storm does not always produce a 100-yr flood.
Temporal Distribution - Storms can have varying degrees of intensity for its duration. Some portions of the country are prone to early peaking storms while others experience the most intense moments near the middle or end. Temporal distribution has a large impact on the actual amount of runoff that is experienced on the ground.
Spatial distribution - The location and extent of storm can help determine the kind of rainfall event that will occur. The biggest impact that this rainfall characteristic has is on runoff volumes. For instance, a storm that occurs in the mountains may produce a different volume of runoff at a given location downstream then if that same storm were to be center above it. In engineering design, it is generally assumed that a storm is uniformly distributed above a drainage area.
You provided much more education than the Earth Science classes I took could. It was informative and easy to understand.
You are an excellent writer. Surely you are great on Sciences. Looking forward for more of it.

"We Love You But We've Come To Kill You"
 Illustration by Justin Gray Morgan, from Jason Barrera's SyncBook chapter: TheSyncBook.com
"Call me . . . Bush"
Trying to suggest something about the duality of man?
 "Mr. Obama is the liberal law professor who campaigned against the Iraq war and torture, and then insisted on approving every new name on an expanding "kill list," poring over terrorist suspects' biographies on what one official calls the macabre "baseball cards" of an unconventional war. When a rare opportunity for a drone strike at a top terrorist arises — but his family is with him — it is the president who has reserved to himself the final moral calculation." (NY Times)
From the NewYorkTimes, note the adjacent story with the Queen as another card
"A very strange story, that 6,000-word front-page New York Times piece on how, every Tuesday, Barack Obama shuffles "baseball cards" with the pictures and bios of suspected terrorists from around the world and chooses who shall die by drone strike. He even reserves for himself the decision of whether to proceed when the probability of killing family members or bystanders is significant. . . . The Osama-slayer card having been vastly overplayed, what to do? A new card: Obama, drone warrior, steely and solitary, delivering death with cool dispatch to the rest of the al-Qaeda depth chart. So the peacemaker, Nobel laureate, nuclear disarmer, apologizer to the world for America having lost its moral way when it harshly interrogated the very people Obama now kills, has become — just in time for the 2012 campaign — Zeus the Avenger, smiting by lightning strike.* A rather strange ethics. You go around the world preening about how America has turned a new moral page by electing a president profoundly offended by George W. Bush's belligerence and prisoner maltreatment, and now you're ostentatiously telling the world that you personally play judge, jury and executioner to unseen combatants of your choosing and whatever innocents happen to be in their company." (Washington Post)
The drone attacks also evoke the classic "Death Cards" from Vietnam, particularly "Death from Above" . . .
(smiting by lightning strike)
A detailed history and many more variations at http://psywarrior.com/DeathCardsAce.html
. . . a theme that was revisited with the "Most-Wanted Iraqi playing cards"
"In the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition, the U.S. military developed a set of playing cards to help troops identify the most-wanted members of President Saddam Hussein's government, mostly high-ranking Baath Party members or members of the Revolutionary Command Council. The cards were officially named the "'personality identification playing cards'" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most-wanted_Iraqi_playing_cards
Oh, this just in:
*Washington Post's idea of Obama as Zeus, tossing down his lightning justice, is another nod to Zeus' battle with Typhon: "The inveterate enemy of the Olympian gods is described in detail by Hesiod as a vast grisly monster with a hundred serpent heads ...
... Once conquered by Zeus' thunderbolts, Typhon was cast into Tartarus"

The location of the resort is great and spacious. However, the room condition is very poor with old and run-down furniture. Facilities in the room are also poor - no towel, toiletries, no hot shower (which is not acceptable!). Not recommended at all.
Its an awful place, dirty room, smelly bed sheets, smelly, run down, no hot water, not even towels, no Wi-Fi. I would strongly recommend to stay way.
I think this place used to be nice, but now it is very old, used ans worn out. There was molt in our room, the toilet didn't work, no internet anywhere....we stayed there one hour nur then booked an other hotel.
sudah 2 kali pergi kesana, tapi pas yg kedua kali, ada sedikit keluhan. air tidak keluar, padahal dari pagi sudah kita komplain, malam kita balik ke penginapan air masih blom nyala, lapor ke petugas juga respon nya lambat, akhirnya malam itu juga kita check out, dan cari penginapan lain.
Isolated with no transport links or dining facilities so makan is a problem.
The sheets had stains The floor was not clean The toilet was as gross as it goes, there was a lizzard and all kinds of insects, it was so gross that we didn't even dare to pee in there so we had to go outside. When we tried falling asleep we tought something was in our toilet. There was a loud noise comming from the toilet like someone/-thing was drowning in it. We are big sleepers and like to sleep in, but we didn't want to stay verry long so we set or clock at 9.30. At 7.30 we woke up to this loud loud noise. I didn't dare to look but did it anyways. To my relief there was nothing in there but still we rushed off and checked out as fast as we could. Because of the location we couldn't find anyone to drive us there, so we had to take 3 different taxi's. From Bogor to the place costed us over 450.000 rupiah.
The location is very far from the city center. There is no possibility to buy anything. Not even water ... the rooms are dirty and broken. The dishes in the cupboard dirty and not enough. No fresh bedding! This is squat! The shower is broken u dirty.hotel for this service much too expensive!
The place is quite far from any food market, so will be better if you prepare to buy more food. If you come with public transportation you should pick to ride a public motorcycle (ojek) rather than yellow car (angkot), because to reach Berlian Resort you just need to pay IDR 5000 with ojek. The facilities is okay, you can play tennis, basketball and futsal. They also rent the tennis racket and the ball. Next time I come here I will bring sport shoes and jogging there because the air is so fresh. Although, the room was not really clean but the staff are helpfull.
My stay at Berlian is not good. Almost got accident when drive in night to the Hotel because a path to Hotel is very steep. Unfortunately, there's garbage strewn at front of room. The staff maybe forgot clean it. But inside areal hotel is good environment because have natural view.
I arrived at 3 in the morning due to traffic jam. Me and hubby were glad that the guard and staffs were still awake to open the gate and process the check-in. We got the room we booked without any problem. The first thing came in my after I opened the room was gloomy and so dampy. I saw an extra bed near the without I ordered it. The bed was stink and, again, dampy. There were grits on bed and the blanket was very bed. I even noticed spider webs! The location was very far. I need to take steep alley without any clear direction (Thank god for GPS). overall we were very disappointed.
So far I visited Berlian twice using own transport. Foods are available downhill some 5 km. Morning jog was great in this unpolluted region.
good place for bird's hunting, wide area & forest & lot of tree, cool & fresh air.

Corporations need to pay more attention to information governance, a recent survey has found.
A survey of global corporations' corporate and company secretaries and general counsel, conducted by Thomson Reuters Governance, Risk & Compliance, found that corporate boards aren't necessarily in compliance with their corporations' document-retention policies.
"Information governance, which in practice can be very difficult, may not be a major priority for many corporations, but needs to be applied and practised," said Ely Razin, head of business law and governance at Thomson Reuters.
Eighty-one per cent of those surveyed said board e-mails and communications are included in the corporation's document-retention policy. But 70 per cent were unsure if board members are in compliance with the corporation's document-retention policies. More specifically, 70 per cent didn't know if board members destroyed all paper copies of board-related e-mails, etc.
This poses a security threat to corporations. For example, if a corporation was required to conduct a discovery process, it would need to check all board members' computers, files, and other data storage, which would likely be time-consuming and expensive.
"As corporations face daily challenges surrounding their information and its security, document retention and discovery at the board level is emerging as an increasing issue," added Razin.
Get the full 2011 Thomson Reuters Board Governance Survey here.
Lawyers must thrive in a world where information is readily available and growing exponentially and that includes small law firms even if they don't have specialized e-discovery or technology-related departments, according to a panel of experts on the subject.


By integrating Enterprise Content Management (ECM) into the lead applications where work actually takes place, OpenText™ Content Suite 16 connects disparate business processes and information sources—sharing content across the enterprise to improve insight, efficiency, and throughput.
According to AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management), 61 percent of workers operate in environments where there is zero connection between their ECM platform and their other business systems. Massive volumes of digital information from varying resources often mean logging into multiple applications to obtain the right content for important business decisions—and enterprises struggle to digitize, integrate, and simplify these business processes.
The new way of thinking addresses the problem. As the paper Transform Insights, Improve Operational Excellence, and Delight Customers with Extended ECM from the Digital Clarity Group (DCG) explains, "Content increases in value when extended to business applications."
The new generation of OpenText Enterprise Content Management solutions enable that by integrating with leading applications (such as SAP®, Oracle®, Microsoft® and Salesforce®) to seamlessly bridge silos and share information across the enterprise. These solutions bring together formerly isolated applications where the work actually takes place—whether on premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid—to share information and improve insights and efficiency.
Hydro Tasmania, an Australian producer of renewable energy, saw firsthand how integrating across applications provides a "single source of truth" that gives context to content. According to the DCG paper, Hydro Tasmania and other businesses also receive other benefits: "Their experiences validate and underscore that organizations deploying ECM typically reap three to five times greater ROI when integrating content with core business processes at the beginning of the activity."

George Lucas has given his opinion on Star Wars: The Force Awakens
By Julia Alexander Dec 8, 2015, 9:30pm EST
Source Vulture
Share All sharing options for: George Lucas has given his opinion on Star Wars: The Force Awakens
George Lucas has given his final verdict on The Force Awakens and it's not necessarily complimentary. Lucas spoke to Vulture quickly about the movie and said that it's the type of film fans have been after for quite some time.
"I think the fans are going to love it. It's very much the kind of movie they've been looking for," Lucas said.
What does that mean, though? Lucas didn't expressly say that he liked or disliked it, but the tone of his words implies that it's not the type of movie he would have made.
Almost from the beginning, Lucas has distanced himself from the new movie. He's said time and time again he wouldn't want to hover over Abrams' shoulder while he was directing The Force Awakens, but over the past couple of weeks, Lucas' tone has changed.
Recently, Lucas compared having to go see the new Star Wars film like going to a wedding his ex would be attending with his new wife. He added that although it would be an awkward situation, it was one that he got himself into, and all he could do was try to enjoy the ride.
That's not the end of it, either. A couple of weeks ago, Lucas said that the Star Wars he loved making had less to do with the sci-fi elements and big action scenes and more with the human drama of it. He told CBS that Star Wars was a soap opera about family problems and "not a movie about spaceships." For him to say "it's very much the kind of movie [fans] have been looking for" insinuates that Abrams' version will be far heavier on the action sequences than the personal drama.
It feels like Lucas has been roped into promoting the new movie by Disney when he'd much rather have nothing to do with the project. Every time he's asked about The Force Awakens, he seems reluctant to answer, but does so out of obligation. Just the other day, his good friend and renowned director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather) said that he felt bad Lucas got sucked into "this big production and never got out of it."
Neither Abrams nor Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy have said anything about Lucas' recent comments and have stayed away from it in interviews. Although it doesn't give too much away over what The Force Awakens will look like, it's fairly obvious that Lucas is not a fan of it.
The film, as most people know, hits theaters Dec. 18.

We self-inflict ourselves constantly with moaning and groaning about how awful we are in terms of immigration, human rights and internationalism. Yet, why do people from all over the world want to come here and yes, why do millions continue to come here? Because, for all our blemishes, which the story first, truth second, media, seems to concerned only with what that say or write that we do wrong. We are like the good looking guy or girl, who are very attractive, yet are the ones working at night in drug or alcohol abuse facilities to help those in need. This is not a blog commentary about why it is good to be good looking and acceptable because all folks are good looking and acceptable to me no matter what they look like or live, but my point is that our country does accept all people of all races and all religions…we just don't want that tiny group of young people floundering for their purpose in life who fall into the trap of older zealots who claim the Profit Muhammad desires them to kill innocents in their name.
We, the United States, have people from all over the world and we must, as a Nation, be proud of who we are and what we have stood for centuries. We make human mistakes but we also make human efforts to protect and comfort those from all backgrounds. History is just that; today and tomorrow we, as always will improve.

In 1776 Abraham married Maria Hoes Van Alen, a widow who was also of Dutch heritage. She brought three children from her previous marriage to her union with Abraham and went on to have five more children with her second husband – one of whom was Martin Van Buren himself. His half-brother James I. Van Alen was also to become a politician, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
With this strong Netherlands family background – and the fact that many of Kinderhook's inhabitants spoke Dutch – Van Buren's first language was Dutch. In fact, to this day, he is the only American president for whom English was a second language. He learned English at the village school house in Kinderhook.
Being brought up in the convivial atmosphere of an inn is said to have given Van Buren a good grounding in relating to people. Indeed, these would be skills put to good use in his future career as a politician. And as well as the good folk of Kinderhook, his father's tavern had some highly illustrious patrons indeed.

"Be the change you wish to see in this world". It's a famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi, but how can it apply to UK fitness lovers in the 21st Century?
Many of us are now getting caught up in the Olympics buzz and getting behind Team GB (or whatever country we hail from). But such a keen focus on athleticism can also highlight the general need to promote fitness to those who might struggle to motivate themselves out of a sedentary existence.
Of course, most of us know that eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly will help stave off nasty diseases like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and liver disease, but some of us need an external push to make those changes.
Gandhi attracted a huge international following, but you could just start small – with your own community. Find a place to meet up (perhaps a church or a community centre) and invite people you know to join you in a run, bike ride or other fitness pursuit. By choosing a regular time and place you will be helping to create a routine which others can follow. As people get to know one another, your group will become a source of motivation and support.
Facts tell but stories sell! If you want to encourage others to follow in your shoes, let them know what fitness has done for you. Whether you've trimmed five inches off your waist, dropped two dress sizes or developed a six-pack, remind them that every journey starts with a single step. Share the heartache as well as the joy, helping to create a connection that lasts through periods of struggle. The more colourful your story, the more likely people will be to remember it.
If you look around, you will see that there are many companies offering diplomas and certificates, including NVQs and NVQ Diplomas. Ideally, you should find a course that is REPS accredited, so that you can prove to prospective employers that your skills meet the National Occupational Standards.
Just like our Olympic athletes, you know that keeping active gives you a wealth of benefits from increased energy and self-esteem to a trimmer, slimmer physique. Now its time to spread the message and get Britain moving!

Making Waves | Marine Art
By Patti Verbanas
Marine Art Captures the Imagination of Those Who Love the Sea.
Those who love the outdoors appreciate the quiet solitude and breathless adrenaline rush depicted in sporting art, a genre that showcases the world of hunting, fishing, and wildlife encounters. The market for marine art, a long-popular subcategory, is holding strong, fueled by those who appreciate the wild beauty of saltwater fish and the artists who capture their spirit through an innate understanding that only comes from decades of fishing and studying these brave creatures.
Carey Chen's vibrant realism.
From the vibrant, true-to-life depictions of Carey Chen and the realistic watercolors of Steve Goione to the abstract renderings of Larry Rackley, marine artists bring to life the fish so many seek and harness the emotion that every fisherman feels when he ventures out on the open seas.
To truly render these magnificent creatures, one must have experienced them, and Chen, Goione and Rackley — all veteran fishermen — lead the market in authentic depictions that not only capture the anatomy of these great fish, but showcase their spirit. We visited with these three artists to talk about the inspiration they derive from being on the ocean, how being a fisherman first trained their artistic eye and how they use their talent to give back to communities in need.
Carey Chen
How did you get started as an artist?
I was a fisherman before I was an artist. I grew up in Jamaica; when I was 19, I moved to Florida and got my first boat. I returned to Jamaica to fish in tournaments, and that became my passion. I always knew I had artistic talent, but never pursued it formally. The colors of the fish we saw in the water were so amazing that I wanted to capture what I saw. I started sketching and then painting them with acrylic on canvas.
Around 1995, people at Capt. Harry's Fishing Supply saw my art and asked me to do a cover of their tackle catalog. Word started to spread. I was invited to host the Puerto Rico International Blue Marlin Tournament, where I met many international anglers who invited me to tournaments all over the Caribbean. Today I do about 45 tournaments a year and paint commissions for fisherman.
Art by Carey Chen
How do you render the fish so accurately?
Only fishermen really know these fishes' true color. Even photographs can't capture what they look like in the sea, what we see with our eyes. The colors these fish produce when they are alive are phenomenal!
When we reel in a fish, I get really close and look at all the features, the anatomy, the muscles, and the colors before it turns gray. I have caught and seen so many fish up closethat I have a sharp memory that allows me to just paint without even thinking. I can capture those true colors on canvas. I like working on larger canvases, like 30" x 30", because it allows me to really get the details.
What is your greatest fishing achievement?
A couple of months ago, we broke a world record in Baja by catching and releasing 330 marlin in seven hours.
Tell us about your charity work.
The reefs are being destroyed. When I paint, I depict the reefs as they used to look. I support and donate my art to the conservation groups, like Coastal Conservation Association, that are working to stop overfishing and oil spills.
See Chen's work at www.careychen.com.
Larry Rackley
How did you get into painting?
I've always been an artist – just taught myself – and always liked to be outdoors. When I left the Marine Corps after 12 years, I wanted to do something I loved. Since I loved fishing and loved to paint, painting big game fish was a way to combine my two passions. I've been painting professionally since 2007.
Art by Larry Rackley
Tell us about how you work.
I work in oil, glass, and with an airbrush. I paint on canvas, wood panel, boat cabin doors – anything, really. When I work with oil paint mixed with glass, I use a heavy board. I love painting offshore big game scenes more than anything – blue marlin and black marlin in particular – but do other types, too, like fly fishing. I like to paint on site and then fine-tune the painting in my studio. Everything is original; I do not make reproductions.
I sell through word of mouth. In order for you to get a painting, I either need to meet you, know you, or have you referred to me by someone. I've done work for some celebrities and two presidents: Donald Trump and George H. W. Bush.
What do you love most about fishing?
I love the thrill of the hunt and the camaraderie of being out on the water with people who love the sport. The underwater world is so beautiful.
I work with a number of charities – such as Coastal Conservation Association, Ducks Unlimited, and the Billfish Foundation — and children's hospitals. I especially love working with the kids, letting them get up close to these big fish. When I was growing up, they would never let us go to the weigh-in booth, much less touch a marlin. It's neat to allow the kids to do this.
See Rackley's work at www.facebook.com/larryrackleyart.
Steve Goione
As a child, I lived near Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, so I grew up on fishing boats, catching more bluefish, flounder, and sea trout than venturing out shark fishing. My parents had the forethought to give me markers, pads, pastels. I loved graphic design, creating cartoons, logos – you name it. Later, I got an art degree from the Ringling School of Art, where I fell in love with combining watercolor and pen-and-ink.
After school, I entered a career in corporate graphic design. In my spare time, I fished and created paintings of bluefin tuna or mako sharks. People saw my work and asked me to do pieces. Things changed the moment I met Pete Barrett, editor of The Fisherman, at a shark fishing seminar. When he learned I was a graphic designer, he hired me to do line drawings for the company's line of fishing books. We started fishing together. He introduced me to people from Salt Water Sportsman, and my career took off from there.
Art by Steve Goione
Describe your art.
I participate in up to 20 billfish events worldwide each year and create paintings of fish and sportfishing yachts. I paint in watercolor first on watercolor board, and then finish with pen-and-ink pointillism, which is extremely detailed work. I use triple-zero and double-zero pens that allow me to add minute details like rod holders and antennas on the boats. The heavier watercolor board allows my precise pen-and-ink dots to stay crisp.
I support a lot of efforts, like the Billfish Foundation and regional charities. Each year, I do an original painting for The Big Rock charity auction. One of my paintings could sell at auction for $30,000; it's outstanding to see that work I create can raise so much money for these charities.
Another cause that is important to me is the Freedom Alliance, which supports military families and wounded service members. Every April, it brings 15 wounded special operations veterans to Costa Rica for a week of healing, relaxing, and fishing. I've participated for about five years by doing paintings and giving them prints and apparel. It has been life changing for me. The veterans give me more then I give to them.

USS H-5 (SS-148) was a H-class submarine originally built for the Imperial Russian Navy. Six of these were not delivered pending the outcome of the Russian Revolution of 1917 before being purchased by the United States Navy on 20 May 1918.

Description
The H-class submarines had a length of  overall, a beam of  and a mean draft of . They displaced  on the surface and  submerged. The boats had a crew of 2 officers and 23 enlisted men. They had a diving depth of .

For surface running, they were powered by two New London Ship & Engine Co.  diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a  Electro Dynamic Co. electric motor. They could reach  on the surface and  underwater. On the surface, the boats had a range of  at  and  at  submerged.

The boats were armed with four 18-inch (450 mm)  torpedo tubes in the bow. They carried four reloads, for a total of eight torpedoes.

Construction and career
H-5 was launched on 24 September 1918, and commissioned on 30 September 1918. Operating out of San Pedro Submarine Base, San Pedro, California, with Submarine Division 6 and 7 (SubDivs 6 and SubDiv 7), H-5 participated in various training and battle exercises, with periodic overhauls at Mare Island. She departed San Francisco, California on 25 July 1922 in company with both divisions and arrived at Norfolk, Virginia on 14 September. H-5 decommissioned at Norfolk on 20 October.

Akbar Oluwakemi-Idowu Gbajabiamila (born May 6, 1979) is a former professional American football player of the National Football League (NFL) who currently is the co-host for American Ninja Warrior and works as a sports analyst for the NFL Network. He was signed by the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2003. He played college football at San Diego State University. Gbaja-Biamila also played for the San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins. He is the younger brother of former Green Bay Packers defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila.
Gbaja-Biamila was born in Los Angeles, California.
At Crenshaw High School in South Los Angeles, he was a star basketball player on teams which were part of the Willie West Jr. coaching era. He and his teammates won back-to-back City and State Championships in 1996 and 1997. Gbaja-Biamila moved to play football during his senior year. He was an all-league and all-conference choice. He was also named team's defensive lineman of the year, compiling 11 sacks and 74 tackles in his senior campaign.
Gbajabiamila accepted a football scholarship at San Diego State University, where he was all-Mountain West Conference in his senior year of 2002. He joined the group Athletes For Education, one of a handful of collegiate players that were part of the outreach group, and worked with founder Steve Haynes and a group of San Diego-area professional players to go into communities and work with young people on life skills. Akbar's passion was speaking about financial literacy, and he spent hours working with youth in San Diego about the value of investing and understanding how the financial system worked. He also worked on reading and math programs with impoverished youth, giving him insight as a young athlete into the value of community assistance.
Gbajabiamila went undrafted in the 2003 NFL Draft and later signed with the Oakland Raiders as a free agent. He made the team out of training camp and played in 13 of the team's 16 regular season games, while being inactive for three. He recorded seven tackles (four solo) on the season, with his first and only sack of the season coming against Daunte Culpepper, then with the Minnesota Vikings.
In 2004, Gbaja-Biamila split time between defensive end and linebacker, occasionally filling in for players such as Travian Smith and Tyler Brayton. He appeared in 14 games for the Raiders during the regular season and was inactive for two games. He accumulated a career-high 14 tackles (11 solo) and added a sack on the year. That sack came against Brad Johnson and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while he recorded a season-high three tackles in games against the Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars. Gbajabiamila also recovered a blocked punt against the Carolina Panthers which led to a Raiders touchdown.
Battling injuries during the 2005 training camp, Gbajabiamila was released by the Raiders on September 3. He had a workout with the Green Bay Packers two days later, but he was not signed and spent the season out of football. In 2008 re-signed with the Raiders and was released to retire as a Raider.
Gbajabiamila returned to the NFL in 2006 after being signed by the San Diego Chargers on January 12. The fit was a good one for him, who as slightly undersized yet quick defensive end was a perfect fit for the 3-4 defense employed by then-defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and the Chargers.
On February 6, 2007, it was announced that Gbajabiamila had been signed to a future contract worth $7.4 million with the Miami Dolphins. The move reunited him with new Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron, who was offensive coordinator in San Diego the season before when Gbaja-Biamila was a member of the Chargers. On September 11, 2007, he was released by the Dolphins. He spent the season out of football.
In 2005, Gbajabiamila was selected as one of the NFL's first athletes into their Broadcast Boot Camp, held in Mount Laurel, N.J., and designed to give 20 players a short and rigorous look into the skills needed to embark on a broadcast or journalism career after their playing careers. He also took advantage of some time between playing stints to volunteer at KSWB, the NBC affiliate in San Diego, and ended up as the co-host for "Football Night in San Diego," while he awaited his next chance back in the pros. He hosted the show for two and a half seasons (2006–2008) before getting one last shot in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins.
Akbar's full name is Akbar Oluwakemi-Idowu Gbajabiamila. Akbar is Arabic and means "greatest." His middle and last names are of the Yoruba language. The middle names, Oluwakemi means "God blessed me" and Idowu means "born after twins." (One of his twin older brothers is Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila who was also a pro football player.) Their last name, Gbaja-Biamila means "big man come save me." This name comes from his paternal great-great-grandfather who was 7 ft (2.1 m) tall and was the village moderator in his Nigerian village.
He is of Nigerian ancestry. Both of his parents were Muslim, until his mother converted to Christianity. While he was raised under a Sunni Muslim household, he converted to Christianity while in college. In 2000, his father, Mustapha, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In 2002, his mother, Bolatito, died in a car crash. While a member of the Chargers in 2006, Akbar routinely drove back-and-forth from San Diego to Los Angeles to spend time with his father. Akbar has four children.
With his playing career over, Akbar turned his focus to the broadcast booth in addition to his philanthropic work, serving as an analyst for the Mtn. Network and CBS Sports Network for two years, while also taking voice and acting classes. He also founded Rush The Passer, a year-round athletic, academic and life skills program for youth in Southern California. In 2010 he was approached by reality producer Mark Burnett to be part of a three-man athlete team for his latest project on ABC, Expedition Impossible. That role, and the exposure that came with it, helped further Akbar's exposure.
In 2009, Gbajabiamila was an analyst for Division I games on CBS College Sports. He was a contestant on the reality adventure game show Expedition Impossible. His team "The Football Players" finished in 4th place on the show.
As of 2012[update], he has joined the NFL Network as a member of the NFL Fantasy Live cast of hosts. As of 2015[update], he is a host alongside Matt Iseman for American Ninja Warrior being hosted on G4, Esquire Network, and NBC. Akbar is also the co-host of Team Ninja Warrior alongside Iseman, a spin-off of American Ninja Warrior that debuted on Esquire Network in 2016. In his commentary, Akbar is known for the "Akbarism", an inspirational and often humorous statement to describe the action.

What is the problem??

A: MBED_ARM_PATH should point to the installation of ARMCC (if you have it). I'd expect it's trying to find armcc in that folder, which it can't find, and thus marks it as invalid.
Note that when you compile against GCC_ARM you're not using MBED_ARM_PATH nor ARMCC so that's why compilation succeeds.
Note that the current supported GCC version is 6, not 7. So your results might vary.

NYPD Precinct Commander Under Fire For Using #BlackLivesMatter In Twitter Post
February 19, 2018 Humanity
Deputy Inspector Janice Holmes of the 100th Precinct in Rockaway, Queens, tweeted a photo of late African-American heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson from her NYPD account. What began as a positive gesture by an NYPD precinct commander, went sideways when she used the hashtag #blacklivesmatter in an official tweet. She had to delete it amid furious pushback.
Janice Holmes
The tweet meant to commemorate Black History Month elicited a storm of criticism from cops throughout the department, and it was later taken down.
"How can a precinct commander lead people when she aligns herself with a group that is known to hate law enforcement and wishes police officers dead?" one police source said.
"She's making a political statement on a job Web site. Let's see what the police commissioner does now. If they don't take action, then I guess the police commissioner and the mayor condone this."
An NYPD spokesperson said the department is "currently reviewing the twitter account of the 100th precinct."
Holmes is the first black commander of her precinct, and one of four siblings who serve with the department.

Inheritance Tax (IHT) is paid if a person's estate, that's their property, money and possessions, (including any gifts made within the last 7 years before their death that aren't exempt) is worth more than the IHT threshold when they die.
There is a tax-free allowance called the 'nil-rate' band. This is currently £325,000 (fixed until April 2021). In general terms, if the value of the estate exceeds this figure, and the estate isn't left to a spouse or civil partner or to a charity, (and isn't eligible for reliefs such as agricultural or business relief) then the excess will be liable to IHT at 40 per cent.
From April 2017, estates are set to benefit from an additional residential nil-rate band (RNRB) of £100,000 (rising to £175,000 by April 2020) where the deceased's residence is left to their direct descendants (children, step-children, adopted and fostered children and their respective spouses and civil partners). Where an estate has a net value of more than £2m, the RNRB is withdrawn at a rate of £1 for every £2 over this threshold.
From 2020, if the nil-rate band and RNRB are both rolled over unused on the first death to the surviving spouse or civil partner, on the second death this would mean there would a tax-free nil rate band of £1m available.
The rules involved in inheritance tax are complex and it is for this reason alone it is important to discuss your situation with us, as only then will you be able to understand its potential effects on you, whether your loved ones will lose out on some of their inheritance and, more importantly, what can be done through us to reduce or even eliminate its effects.

Sue came back from the garden and said she'd been mobbed by a swarm of ants. I found them on the tarmac and traced their source to the top of the stump of the old sycamore tree. It was amazing to see them but even more so when I read about their nuptial flight. Unbelievable! The rest is cribbed from Wikipedia …..
A mature ant colony seasonally produces winged virgin queens and males. Within a few days after they have emerged from the pupa case, males are quickly converted into single-purpose sexual missiles.
Young queens and males stay in their parent colony until conditions are right for the nuptial flight. The flight requires clear weather since rain is disruptive for flying insects. Different colonies of the same species often use environmental cues to synchronize the release of males and queens so that they can mate with individuals from other nests, thus avoiding inbreeding. The actual take off from the parent colony is also often synchronized to overwhelm their predators.
The queens release pheromones to attract males but they often try to escape the males, allowing only the fastest and the fittest males to mate. Mating takes place during flight.
One queen usually mates with several males. The sperm is stored in a special organ, known as a spermatheca, in the queen's abdomen, and lasts throughout her lifetime. This can be as long as 20 years, during which time the sperm can be used to fertilize tens of millions of eggs.
The males have evolved for the single purpose of inseminating the queen, and can't even feed themselves for the few days of their lives. During the quick and violent mating, the male literally explodes his internal genitalia into the genital chamber of the queen and quickly dies.

Switzerland Now Allows Juniors on E-bikes on Trails
Written by Igor Karni in E-biking trends
Swiss Federal Council approved new regulation that now allows young teenagers accompanied by their parents to ride electric bicycles in certain leisure areas.
Children under 14 years old should be able to ride an electric bicycle if accompanied by an adult in certain areas. The State Council tacitly approved Tuesday a regulation in favour of further developing cycling tourism in the country.
Currently, electric bicycles up to 25 km/h are allowed for riders over 16 years old. Riding an e-bike requires a moped license for juniors between 14 and 16 years old and is prohibited for younger teens under 14 years old.
Read also: What is the difference between a regular e-bike and a speed e-bike? – in this article. And, is it legal to derestrict electric bicycle speed? – in this article.
This regulation is applicable for regular use on the public routes, but it had not been adapted for tourism. This is exactly why, further regulations were required.
Switzerland is the only country in Europe to have such a restrictive legislation, which is an obstacle to the attractiveness of the country for cycling family tourism.
E-bikes are increasingly promoted for family tourism across the world. For example, electric mountain bikes are already actively rented in the Alps, in the countries, neighbouring Switzerland.
Promotion of four-season tourism, which Switzerland is trying to actively push, implies the use of these new means of transport in leisure areas.
Road safety is not compromised
The Federal Council supported this new regulation as it gives it the possibility to limit the accompanied use of electric bicycles by children under 14 years old to places with low traffic. Thus, this measure will not compromise on road safety.
A new regulation calls for further relaxation of the legislation on electric bicycles. This regulation has been recently submitted and it calls for a lowering of the age limit for using an e-bike to 12 years old.
The State Council has yet to make this decision. The Federal Council is opposed to the bill because it does not contain any accompanying measures to ensure road safety.

Q: How to get Google Cloud pricing details programmatically? Can anybody please tell me how can I programmatically get Google Cloud pricing details (e.g., pricing for Google Compute Engine, Google Cloud Storage, Google Cloud SQL, etc.) from Google Cloud website?
Does Google Cloud provide the pricing details in JSON format?

A: You can get the SKUs and prices via the Cloud Billing Catalog API.
For example, in https://cloud.google.com/skus, you can find the "Compute Engine" service id is 6F81-5844-456A and then you can use the services.list API with the parent = services/6F81-5844-456A to find the prices.


NaBloPoMo Writing Prompt: Are you working on a passion project?
I've written a lot about finding your passion, but not really about the concept of a passion project. But I love the idea.
A passion project is something that stews for some time until you finally make that leap. and then you throw your whole heart into. It is something creative and energizing. It is something with goals and deadlines. And it is often something that involves other people–either collaborating or affecting people in some way…or both!
Several years ago a friend and I started a passion project–for at least a year or two we talked about writing a book. Not just any book, but one detailing certain experiences that we had shared. And then one day, we just started writing. We met, collaborated, worked with a coach, and a year later, we had a fully formed rough draft of our novel. We celebrated by taking a writing retreat in Sedona. This project had all the necessary ingredients: we let it stew, it was full of heart, it was creative and energizing, had goals, and involved us as collaborators.
Poppy Pictures: a non-profit film company focused on storytelling.
Starabella: a set of children's books with music focused on a little girl with learning difficulties.
Dave Hertzberg's Hearts and Bones: my boyfriend's jazz/neo-bluegrass band–following his journey behind the scenes has been really inspiring.
Please share any passion projects in the comments!
NaBloPoMo Writing Prompt: Describe your favorite place.
What I realized is that it's not the specific place that's most important to me–it's the feeling and the atmosphere I get from being in a place. The feeling that I most treasure is "cozy." I love taking the time to enjoy a pot of tea on a cold, rainy day, cozying up on the couch with hot cocoa and writing holiday cards, or meeting friends at a chill bar and having a great glass of wine and some cheese. I love dark wood, exposed beams, fireplaces, dim lighting and wearing scarves! To me it's all about slowing down and relishing the moment. I just love finding cozy spots that allow me to take a breather from the sometimes harshness of the city and the day-to-day routine.
If you have any cozy-spot recommendations in NYC, leave them here in the comments!


V.I.P.'d Off: Should 'Golden Circles' Be Ditched?
Live music is evolving in some incredibly odd ways.
With the collapse of revenues from recorded music it's where a lot of musicians earn their wages, and as such the procedures and plans of old have been inverted – instead of touring to promote recorded music new artists seem to record music to furnish their live schedules.
Heaving merch stalls aside, perhaps the most bizarre addition to the summer season is the continued growth of the VIP golden circle – in reality a semi-circle, it's where fans who pay slightly more than average are given a half-decent view, slightly closer to the act in question. Throw in a few different food stalls and shorter bar queues and that, in essence, is the golden circle experience.
Yet the subtle shifts its introduction has caused is slowly, inexorably changing live music, and arguably not for the better. Fans who spend 'quite a lot of money, thank you very much' are often not in the mood to get rowdy, or show patience for the support acts, or even do an awful lot other than pick up their vegan curry bowl, a light ale, and sit in whatever shade they can find.
Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos has played in more than a few of these crowds, and he's had enough. The singer called out the practise onstage at Madrid's Mad Cool festival, and repeated his complaints on Twitter.
The complaints are a mark both of how distracting it can be for musicians to play in front of such a compartmentalised crowd, and also how widespread the practise has become. Franz Ferdinand are a busy festival group, with Alex Kapranos joining fans to note that Glasgow's TRNSMT seemed to place "the real front row" behind "the second barrier about two miles away".
Not that this is merely used at pop festivals. Barclaycard presents British Summertime also use a variation on the 'golden circle' for their concerts, and fans expressed their dismay at the divide this caused at some of this summer's shows. Equally, some larger touring acts now use the same technique – The Rolling Stones, for instance, used 'golden circles' on their recent UK tour, including all three London shows.
There's a temptation to argue that this is simply giving the public what they want, a means to get up close to some of their favourite acts, without having to wait by the crash barrier from the second the gates open.
Yet this seems a slightly facile, ineffectual solution – after all, if the 'golden circle' continues to damage the atmosphere for outdoor shows, then the lucky folks in front of the first barrier might soon find large gaps in the crowd behind them.
As Alex Kapranos points out, there are other places for the VIP section to reside. Perhaps special stalls at the side, or within elements of the front – breaking up the circle, rather than having it form a setting sun around a wheezing, truculent set.
Furthermore music isn't just about gaining a great view, or not having to wait 30 minutes before the bar staff tell you they've run out of Carling.
It would be fantastic if elements of the live experience such as these were guaranteed to everyone, particularly as the average price of gig tickets continues to increase, with no real sign of added value for the average punter, the sort of people who have kept the wheels of live music turning for decades now without the need for an added wristband or a glitter-soaked lanyard.
But of course, the 'golden circle' isn't really aimed at the average punter. It's aimed at the sort of people who order Pimms at festivals, complain about the cheese selection, and who try to take a deck chair in with them so that their legs don't get tired; it's the sort of people who streamed the headline act a few days before, and sort of remember the big single from their uni days.
They're not all Tories, but a fair few of them probably are.
With that in mind, perhaps a different section would work after all – a place for good clean fun, evidently well organised, and with an impeccably chosen wine menu. It's called the theatre, and perhaps they should try it.

To discuss current issues and strategize to maximise plant reliability, experts from the industry will be attending the 3rd Global Plant Maintenance & Reliability Workshop, to be hosted by Praxis Global Research from 24th – 26th September, 2012. Oil & Gas professionals involved with plant maintenance and asset management are going to come together at this global forum to debate current problems.
The workshop is structured to provide the participants with an opportunity to engage, ask and find solutions to some of the most challenging and pressing situations faced by the industry and answered by senior professionals in a stimulating manner.


Cannabidiols have been in use as a safe alternative to mainstream medicine for a variety of conditions ranging from digestion, nausea, anxiety, cancer, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. Expanding the scope of its applicability, it is increasingly being prescribed by vets for the health and wellness of pets.
The Question is – Is it safe?
To put it short – yes, cannabidiols are safe for pets.Contrary to popular belief, they are different from marijuana as they are derived from hemp and are not psychoactive. hemp extract are high in Cannabidiol, which lends them medicinal properties but are very low on THC, which is responsible for the 'high' associated with cannabis. This ensures that their consumption is safe and solely for recuperative purposes.
Now, dog and cat owners are using CBD oils for their pets to alleviate a wide array of ailments including behavioural disorders like anxiety to age-induced conditions like arthritis. Cannabidiol works effectively in ameliorating both long-term and short-term diseases in pets.
Due to its ability to bind to cannabinoid receptors to in the body, it is an effective treatment for digestive irregularities, nausea, pain, and inflammations. Another benefit of Cannabidiol is that it is increasingly being accepted as a medication in cancer treatment.
We have had an instance, where a dog named Staffy developed a 6 cm (diameter) tumour in the mammary gland – and it was growing fast. Australian holistic veterinarian, Dr. Bassingthwaite took care of Staffy with a treatment that included Cannabidiol along with other herbal medicines. Results after three months revealed a substantial shrinkage in the size of the tumour and no recurrence was observed at the six-month mark either.
This is perhaps the most important aspect to keep in mind when starting your pet out on a cannabidiol treatment. Cannabidiol is safe to be used in high dosage and is handled well by animals. However, it may have minor side effects like dizziness or mild vomiting.
These simple guidelines will help keep things safe for your pet.
1. Inform your vet. Run your plan-of-action by them to make sure you are taking all the right steps.
2. Know the dosage. The amount of Cannabidiol to be administered depends on the size and weight of the animal. For example, 1 to 3 drops shall suffice for a 5lb animal while a 100 lb animal would need 43 to 44 drops.
3. Start out slow. For every 10 lb of your dog's weight, give him one drop once a day. Follow this for a week and then double the administration to one drop, twice a day.
Cannabidiol can be just what your pet needs to alleviate the pain, and with its therapeutic effects, it can work wonders. If your four-legged pal has been dealing with physical pain – like from arthritis to anxiety, all you need to do is buy an CBD oil.
