colours Ed Vere guest posts
by Library Mice October 7, 2015 October 6, 2015 Leave a Comment on GUEST POST: Ed Vere talks about colour
We have always been fans of Ed Vere's work in the Library Mice household. I remember my mouslings coming out of a Mr Big event at Bath Children's Literature Festival clinching their own drawings of Mr Big with sheer delight.
What I have always particularly admired with Ed Vere's work is how his deceptively simple drawings and bold use of colour come together to create such rich narratives, which are fun, heart-warming but also often quite poignant too.
His latest book, Max at Night (Puffin) is no exception. This is our second encounter with Max the kitten, which we first met in Max the Brave:
In Max at Night, we follow a sleepy Max as he goes along his bedtime routine; it seems Max can't go to bed until he has said goodnight to everyone. But tonight, the moon is missing and before he can rest Max must undertake a long and increasingly perilous journey to find her. Ed Vere's use of colour is particularly striking here in his depictions of the sky at night, and I was delighted when he agreed to talk about his use of colour and inspirations in this blog post.
My use of colour and other colourful inspirations
by Ed Vere
Why do I use such bold colours? That's an interesting and difficult question to try and answer. Difficult because it's hard to make sense of what feels like a natural instinct. Which is how I make so many of these 'design decisions'. I may rationally decide that I want a book to be simpler or more complex, to illustrate in a looser & busier way with a pencil (Bedtime for Monsters) or to take a simpler graphic approach (Banana or Max the Brave & Max at Night). But when it comes to colour, it feels like it dictates its own rules. Very obviously, children respond to simplicity and with books for the young, in simplifying the environment you allow the focus to rest on the character and their action. Along with simplicity of layout, simplicity of colour follows. I choose colours that emotionally relate to what's happening in the story… that's an emotive and instinctive decision… one of those ones you work out by feel rather than rationalising. I'm not massively analytical in my approach because it feels too dry… I prefer to be led by my instincts and what feels right. And, I love big expanses of juicy colour.

There are so many artists whose colour sense I love… right up at the top is Matisse who seems to naturally filter joy, peace and understanding through colour… I don't know how he did it but it's a kind of genius that few can emulate. His Chapel at St Paul de Vence is an incredibly beautiful place… All of his work, really, is incredibly exciting for me. I think it sums up an approach to, and feel for life. It's like a feeling for music, impossible to successfully sum up in words. His recent Cut Outs exhibition at Tate Modern was completely inspiring… not least because he managed to make his ideas accessible to so many people.
Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence
"The Snail" by Matisse (1953)
Other artists… Paul Klee, similarly joyful and endlessly curious; Ellsworth Kelly, an incredibly spare colourist with a truly stunning sense of harmony and balance; Tomi Ungerer (Three Robbers), he creates incredible evocative and complete worlds with his use of colour.

Jan Pieńkowski, his very spare and bold colour schemes completely draw me in… they feel simple, but they manage to create completely believable worlds in which to exist. I always find it amazing how an abstract two dimensional drawn/painted environment can become a living breathing world for the imagination; Chris Haughton… He's a friend so I should go easy on the praise… But he does have an amazing colour sense. I love the way he's created such distinct identities for each of his books through a limited but stylish palette. He's got such an incredibly good and sometimes surprising colour sense. It feels simple… But is extremely hard won. I'm sure people have no idea how much work goes into them.

"Shh! We Have a Plan" © Chris Haughton.
Colour is massively important to the way I work… It's a way of conveying emotion, of joy, exuberance, melancholy, and everything in between and beyond. A subtle way of putting those emotions on the page without being too heavy about what you want to say… Or sometimes a completely unsubtle way of doing it and making a foghorn statement of intent. It's hard to describe it and not sound like an idiot, but you can think in colour, and I think children understand that innately.
Thank you so much Ed for this fascinating post. You explained perfectly how your books affect us, because the colours do make us 'feel the story'.

"Project Jerusalem is a fascinating film that chronicles director Jenna Hill's journey to understand some of the spiritual influences on her life and consequently on her understanding of spiritual concepts triggered by a 'pilgrimage' to Jerusalem. The movie is full of movement, sound, picture and impressions. The contemporary visit to Jerusalem is interspersed with significant personal moments, discussion and diary extracts, and other thoughts from Jenna's upbringing featuring interviews with key influencers on her life. There is an honesty both to the story telling and the open conclusions in this film essay, which are valuable for us all.

Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder Donates $100,000 to Bike Walk Connecticut
West Hartford, Conn. (Jan. 28, 2016) – Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, a nationally known law firm with offices in Bridgeport, New Haven and Danbury, has made a $100,000 donation to Bike Walk Connecticut in recognition of the work of Sean Alexander and Colleen Kelly Alexander. The Alexanders were elected to the board of Bike Walk Connecticut in 2015.
Attorney William Bloss, a litigator with Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, hails Colleen and Sean Alexander for being "effective advocates for bike safety for years. Their focus and deeply personal perspective on this vital issue should cause all of us to pay close attention. We're inspired by their work and dedication, and we're pleased to support it and the work of Bike Walk Connecticut."
"We are exceedingly grateful to Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder for this gift," said Bike Walk Connecticut Executive Director, Kelly Kennedy. "What's extra special about this donation is that the firm's generosity is matched by its deep understanding of how important it is for Connecticut to be a better, safer, place to bike and walk. This gift will help us amplify our Share the Road campaign to urge drivers, cyclists and pedestrians to follow the rules of the road."
Colleen Kelly Alexander's connection to cycling started early. Her father got her on a bike when she was two. As a child she loved spending time at her dad's bike shop. She became a successful triathlete, overcoming two serious medical challenges. Then, on October 8, 2011 on a routine bike commute home from work, Colleen was run over by a 30-ton freight truck. Colleen was following the rules of the road that day, but the truck was not. The truck didn't stop at a stop sign and ran over Colleen, ripping open her abdomen, breaking her pelvis and legs, severely damaging her leg muscles, and tearing off massive amounts of skin. Colleen was resuscitated twice, needed 78 units of blood, and was in a coma for five weeks. The truck driver got a ticket for not stopping at the stop sign.
Miraculously, Colleen survived and has gone on to run more than 50 races and compete in 30 triathlons, including four half Ironman events. Since her trauma, Colleen has become a sought-after public speaker on gratitude and leading a purpose-driven life.
Noting that cycling has always been a part of her life, Colleen says "It is an honor to be on the board of directors for Bike Walk Connecticut." About the aftermath of her trauma, Colleen continues, "We are so grateful that Bill Bloss represented our case with such integrity, passion, and conviction. And he continues to support us and our cause! By this substantial donation, it's clear how much Bill and Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder care about making Connecticut's streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians. This donation is a testament that we are a human community. When we work together for the good of everyone, we can create incredible change. I am alive to be a change maker, and I am committed to helping Connecticut become a safer place to bike and walk."
Colleen's husband, Sean Alexander, a competitive triathlete himself, explains, "While Colleen was in a coma, I looked for just the right firm to represent us. Bill Bloss was the right pick. His support for us, our work, and what we stand for has been unwavering. My wife was brought back to life, but other people are being lost daily on our roads. We all should be able to live in a safe, bicycle and pedestrian friendly community. Together, we can make Connecticut a safer place to bike and walk and save lives."
About Bike Walk Connecticut: Bike Walk CT is a not-for-profit organization that works to change the culture of transportation and make Connecticut a better place to bike and walk. Bike Walk CT advocates at the state government level for laws, policies and funding that support active transportation. Bike Walk CT relies on individual and business members, sponsors, donors, and volunteers to carry out its mission. www.bikewalkct.org.
About Koskoff, Koskoff &Bieder: With offices in Bridgeport, New Haven and Danbury, the law firm of Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder is known nationally for achieving record verdicts for people who suffer serious personal injuries or economic harm from medical malpractice, violation of their civil or constitutional rights, dangerous products, negligence, drunk drivers, corporate or governmental abuse and commercial misconduct. www.koskoff.com.


With Jo Hoy — Head of DesignOps at NORMAN & SONS.
DesignOps is about structure, tools and team shape. It's about improving design efficacy in production environments, maximising innovation where its needed and removing it where it's not.
we were very detached from the delivery itself, with a very poor grasp of what was possible, which made us unable to provide helpful input to the delivery, so we were not senior members of the delivery teams.
DesignOps is a method of tackling that.
Honestly, I've been doing this for years - it's a new name for an old practice. I started my career as a digital producer, and much of DesignOps takes a lot of those production values. Pragmatic design that scales, is accessible, responsive, clear and consistent needs to have a supportive framework and structure behind it.
The Agile trend of the last decade has eroded this in favour of code first, forgetting that the team shape is wider, more diverse; and that without solid underpinning of design, any build, no matter how agile or lean, will just not be as good as it can be.
All of the above. At NORMAN & SONS we are an oddity right now, an agency that specialises in DesignOps. Most think that it's not appropriate for an agency, but I disagree.
Having that structure and understanding in place, embedded in our culture, means we can support more advanced clients, and work with/educate those more behind the curve. Happy team, happy clients, awesome products designed and built.
Well that's a trade secret. We use tools off the shelf, we've made a few as well. All geared towards integrated handoff between people. From Product Owners, to UX, UI, front end code, data, copy and back end.
The flow is comparable to Tribes and Squads (if you made me choose one) but isn't quite that. The "Guilds" don't work, and that's where the design fails. Tribes and Squads is just another way of doing agile… it needs a little more (and that's what NORMAN & SONS can bring to the party), mostly around cross pollination of ideas and processes and creating the social contract underpinning any collaborative effort.
Every single person I've ever met in my career. Every project I've worked on. And the same for everyone in our team. We all bring insights and experiences, good and bad. All we want are good products. We're striving to make that happen, DesignOps is the way forward to achieving that.

Joan Osborne has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the great voices of her generation -- both a commanding, passionate performer and a frank, emotionally evocative songwriter. A multi-platinum selling recording artist and seven-time Grammy nominee, the soulful vocalist is a highly sought-after collaborator and guest performer who has performed alongside many notable artists, including Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Luciano Pavarotti, Emmylou Harris, Taj Mahal, and Mavis Staples, to name a few.
In 2003, Osborne joined forces with the surviving members of The Grateful Dead when they regrouped to tour as The Dead. In addition to her own solo shows and frequent guest appearances, Osborne currently also tours as a member of the rock/soul supergroup Trigger Hippy, founded by Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman and built from each musician's shared love of R&B and soul. The band's self-titled debut album arrived in 2014
Osborne continues to enjoy a long and storied career that was jumpstarted with the great success of her major-label debut album, 'Relish,' which wove together strands of American roots music, poetic lyrics and impassioned vocals, and produced the massive MTV and international radio smash, "One of Us." The song occupied the number one spot on the U.S. singles chart for two weeks, 'Relish' eventually racked up sales of over three million copies, and Osborne found a large and appreciative audience, particularly during touring as part of Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair tour.

Delivery Hero, a German-founded online food delivery company, published its financial results in 2018, which had beaten expectations as it pushes ahead with plans to increase its exposure to emerging markets.
The revenue growth reached 64.6% year-over-year to €687m, as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region accounted for almost half of the revenues last year at €316.4m, growing more than twofold compared to 2017.
"At the IPO (mid-2017), we said above 40% growth in the short to mid-term. Now one-and-a-half years later … I think, we clearly knocked this out of the park on the growth side," Chief Executive of Delivery Hero, Niklas Ostberg, said on a conference call with analysts.
The company operates its online food ordering and delivery marketplace in seven countries using different online platform, in Egypt it has Otlob. This year the firm plans to increase investments in Southeast Asia and expects the revenues to reach €1bn, with an adjusted EBITDA of negative €270m to €320m.
In December, it sold its delivery operations in Germany to Takeaway.com, settling a struggle for supremacy in that market. However, Delivery Hero expects revenues to reach between €1.08bn and €1.15bn in 2019.


The FMCSA's final Electronic Logging Device (ELD) rule was published December 2015. Considering the mandate applies to over three million drivers on the road today, it's important you are aware of the ELD regulations. Simply put, an ELD is an electronic device that enables truck drivers and commercial motor carriers to easily track Hours of Service (HOS) compliance. At this point, everyone should be aware that by December 2017, all CDL drivers required to keep a Record of Duty Status (RODS) must use an ELD to document their compliance with HOS rules. By December 18, 2017, the ELD mandate will require most commercial drivers to use electronic logging devices to record their hours of service.
Celebrating 20-Years of Service on November 15, 2016!
As I take time to reflect on the past 20-years it is absolutely amazing how quickly time does fly! It seems like only yesterday that I was hired to run the QC Lab at the IMC-Americus granulation plant. After my 17-year career with IMC came to an unexpected end, I found myself without a job for the first time in my adult life. After out-placement training, numerous unsuccessful job interviews, and a gracious offer to "finance any business that you want to start" from a long-time Christian businessman I realized that God was calling me to step out in faith and trust Him completely with my family and my future.

SmashFly Technologies, based in Concord, Massachusetts, is billed as an enterprise recruitment marketing technology firm. They operate a software-as-a-service based platform designed to help corporate recruiting organizations centralize their operations. SmashFly recently announced the launch of Emerson, billed as the first AI-powered recruiting assistant integrated into a smart CRM.
Emerson can automate the key elements of almost any recruiting workflow. The AI is also fully integrated with SmashFly's candidate relationship management (CRM) solution. What this translates into is an instantaneous integration of all necessary technologies into a single all-in-one solution. Emerson can handle everything from social recruiting and candidate relationship management to mobile recruiting and search engine optimization.
When a prospective candidate is identified, Emerson automatically creates a new contact file and then tracks every conversation in a single system of record. Emerson guides candidates across the critical touchpoints in the recruiting process, and the AI engages the candidates in real time question and answer sessions. Based on intelligence gained through those interviews Emerson can then screen the interested candidates and fast-track the priority talent, alerting actual recruiters to take over the conversation in real time.
Once the best leads have been identified, Emerson then automates every element of candidate interview scheduling, from sending meeting invitations and synching calendars, to issuing follow-up notes after that first meeting with a recruiter. Not a bad assistant to have, virtual or not.
At times when an open job requires a particular skill set a resume can't really answer the question of how well an applicant would do when it comes to a hands-on test of their abilities. New York-based Vervoe is the provider of an intelligent hiring platform by the same name. Vervoe now boasts a new AI-powered skills testing system designed to determine the best talent for specific positions.
Vervoe employs tools called "Talent Trials," a system of virtual testing designed to assess the real-world abilities of applicants. Those test results, filtered through the new machine learning algorithms, automatically recommends the best candidates, based on their predicted performance. That prediction should be well considered, because those machine learning algorithms boast an 83 percent accuracy rate in predicting top performers across all job types.
By the end of the 1970s the number of teenagers who were working either part time or during their summer vacation had grown to almost 60 percent. Since then that number has declined until, today, only some 35 percent of teens are working. This has presented a problem for many venues that depend on extra help from younger workers during holidays and summer breaks. Many employers say that they want to hire younger workers, but getting them interested in the job initially can be the hardest part. One of the answers to the challenge of attracting a younger workforce is the use of social media as a recruitment tool.
The importance of social media as a recruitment tool has been growing at an accelerated rate. According to a study conducted for Betterteam, one of the more popular job publishing tools, nearly 95 percent of recruiters use social media to post and promote job openings. Almost 60 percent of employees surveyed say they chose their current workplace in part because of the company's social media presence.
McDonald's created a fresh way for young workers to apply for a job, a hiring tool they call Snaplications, which leverages the preferred method of communication among teens - social media. With Snaplications Snapchat users see a 10-second video ad about how great it is to work at McDonald's, and, for interested candidates, there's a link to McDonald's career page in Snapchat.
In Australia, applicants were also given a Snapchat filter that enabled them to try on a virtual McDonald's uniform, and then they were asked to upload a 10-second pitch on the Snapchat platform. This proved so successful that the company introduced a Snapchat campaign in the US, where potential candidates could watch 10-second videos by current employees talking about how much they love working under the Golden Arches.
McDonald's isn't the only company using Snapchat for social recruitment. A growing number of businesses, including big brands like Cisco and Goldman Sachs, have turned to Snapchat as a way to attract younger candidates.

Vlajka Kazachstánu   byla zavedena po vyhlášení nezávislosti 4. června 1992. Modrá vlajka nesoucí žlutého stepního orla, slunce a při stožáru žlutý národní ornament nahradila vlajku Kazašské sovětské socialistické republiky.

Historie
První vlajka Kazachstánu zavedená v roce 1937 nesla dva žluté nápisy: kazašský latinkou (Qazaq SSR) a ruský cyrilicí (Казахская ССР). Nad nimi se nacházel srp a kladivo. Vlajka ze 40. let 20. století nesla opět dva nápisy, v té době již oba v cyrilici – kazašský (Қазақ ССР) a ruský (Казахская ССР). Velký žlutý srp a kladivo se nacházely u stožáru. Dne 24. 1. 1953 byla zavedená sovětská vlajka s modrým pruhem v dolní části vlajky.

Mr. Freeman A. Waitt entered into rest on Tuesday, January 1, 2019.
A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 in the Bellevue Memorial Gardens Chapel. Entombment will follow at Bellevue. Full military honors will be observed. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, January 7, 2019 in the Elliott Sons Funeral Home-Columbia Rd.
Mr. Waitt was born on September 20, 1928 in Lynn Massachusetts to his late parents, Raymond D. Waitt and Hazel B. Titus. He was preceded in death by his wife from over 50 years of marriage, Katharina (Schwab) Waitt in 2003. He is survived by his aunt, Georgina Alvina Frost of Nova Scotia, and his niece, Christabell Nedzinski, of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Waitt served over 20 years in the military, Navy, Army, and Air Force and retiring from service in December of 1972. Katie and Freeman enjoyed living in Augusta, with frequent trips to Nova Scotia. Late in life Freeman enjoyed being with friends and visiting with friends. He loved gardening and his dogs and cats.
Cousin Freeman loved to visit relatives here in Nova Scotia in the summer. He would arrive unexpectedly with his little dog and spend a week or so with my Mom, his Aunt Ruth. We would sometimes go for drives along Digby Neck and take the ferry over to the Islands, often stopping at the little coves. I will always remember Freeman walking on the rocky Bay of Fundy shore, wearing his dress shoes! We have lots of good memories. Rest in Peace, Freeman.
We are sorry to hear of the passing of Freeman. He was a cousin of mine. His mother was a sister of my mother Marion.
Mr. Freeman was my neighbor for the past four years and I never saw a person with such passion for gardening. My family and pets will miss him dearly. Even in the hottest days of the summer there was always a outside job for you to be done. You even showed my boys a few tactics with tools along the way. The awesome books, landscape help and even dog treats your small acts of kindness towards us will be missed. I'm going to miss seeing you grab your paper early each morning and hanging out back enjoying nature ... May you Rest In Peace Mr. Freeman!
Freeman was my cousin but lived a considerable distance from me here in Nova Scotia. I remember seeing him during his visits here with his Mom & Dad & in more recent years his visits to my mother ( his Aunt Ruth). Rest in peace Freeman.
Freeman was my cousin. He was a very wonderful man. He and is wife were a great couple. We lived far away from each other until we became neighbors to his parents, Ray and Hazel. My aunt and uncle. Rest in peace Freeman.


Today I got to 600 calories burned and kept going.
For most of the hour I was walking at 4.0 miles per hour. Once I hit an hour, I was so close to finishing the 4th mile I set that as a short term goal and kept going.
Over the course of an hour a lot of random thoughts can go through your head. I am really enjoying this time first thing in the morning where I am walking and just letting my mind wander.
Last night I had a terrible nightmare. 1st I dreamed a bunch of people who had lost their houses to foreclosure came and took over our house... and then somewhere in trying to navigate that Eric and I realized we'd been away from the children for over two hours, and we raced back to the house to check on them. I woke up with a flood of adrenaline, terrified out of my mind. I was able to relax and fall back asleep quickly. In the past I would have tried to replay the dream to work out a happy ending. This time instead I just repeated gently over and over again to myself. Somehow that word was just what I needed to hear and I fell back into a really restful fearless sleep.
Somewhere on the treadmill at about 40 minutes in I felt a muscle twinge. I slowed down the treadmill a bit and took really deliberate careful steps. I focused on how I felt, knowing that if I needed to stop, I would have to just to protect myself. After a minute I felt fine. Instead of continuing at the slower pace, I accelerated back to 4.0 and finished strong - and pain-free.
It would have been really easy to stay at the slower pace and worry that I was going to get hurt, but instead I focused on how I was feeling in the moment and didn't let the fear get in the driver seat.
I got home and Caitlin was tucked in on the couch watching her favorite cartoon "Horseland". I fed her the cereal and then gave her a peach. She then requested another peach, an apple, and orange, applesauce, and a pickle. I told her to wait and let the food settle a little first. She was really enjoying me sharing food with her, so I need to give her my full attention so she doesn't equate love and attention with food.


According to the American Red Cross, about 38% of the United States population is eligible for blood donation, but only 10% actually donate. Even though this is a small number, a large amount of blood is in demand every day. This association also states that during winter months, blood donations fall very small due to the extreme weather and climate. Everyone should consider donating if they are eligible because roughly every two seconds, a person in the United States needs blood, and one blood donation can save up to three lives.
Once blood is donated, it is separated into three main components, those being red cells, platelets, and plasma. Each one of these do different things to help those in need. Plasma is processed and helps control the risk of bleeding. Red blood cells and platelets go through a process in which the white blood cells are removed to reduce the possibility of a reaction to a transfusion. Next, a blood transfusion occurs to those who need it most, being those in serious injuries, surgeries, childbirth, cancer treatments, and much more.
National Honor Society held an American Red Cross Blood Drive on March 18th, 2019 in the high school gymnasium. The drive had over 30 donors, which exceeded the organization's goal of 25. There was an overall great outcome from both students and the community.
Leo Club will host a blood drive in January of 2020. The drive will also be hosted by the American Red Cross, with sponsorship of the Leo Club and volunteer hours from members of the club. It will be held at the Jefferson Fire Hall.
Most students do not see themselves as eligible for blood donation because of age or lack of availability. The truth is that student donors tend to be the best donors. If a student gives blood for the first time when they're 17 or 18, they are more likely to continue to donate for the rest of their lives. On the other hand, those in their adult life who donate for the first time will not have donated as much in their lifetime as those younger. The younger generation is the start to a new era in donating blood.
The other issue typically for students donors is where to donate. For Jefferson-Morgan students, the easiest place to donate is at the blood drive conducted during the school day. For others, though it may not be as easy. One can easily go to the Red Cross website, www.redcrossblood.org, and type in their zip code to find out when and where a blood drive is being held in their area.
During the 2019/2020, the school will be having two blood drives conducted through organizations. There will be a Leo Club blood drive in December of 2019, while the annual National Honor Society blood drive will be conducted in March of 2020. Keep a look out for postings on the marquee, on the school calendar, and via JM EBlast.

Швидкісні пиловловлювачі (рис.) складаються з труби Вентурі і відцентрового краплевловлювача.

Загальний опис
Загальна конструктивна ознака цих пиловловлювачів — наявність труби розпилювача, де відбувається інтенсивне дроблення газовим потоком рідини, яка його зрошує. Швидкість газового потоку в трубі Вентурі коливається від 40 до 150 м/с.

Запилені гази нагнітаються димососом 5 в апарат через патрубок 6, в якому встановлені форсунки для зрошення пилогазового потоку і жалюзійні решітки 7. В результаті зрошення деяка кількість частинок під дією інерційних сил осаджується на решітці, стікає у вигляді шламу по закругленому трубопроводу 8 і потрапляє в гідрозатвор 9. У трубі Вентурі 4 гази вдруге зрошуються з форсунок 10, краплі рідини диспергуються і тонкі частинки пилу коагулюють. Аерозоль, що виходить з труби Вентурі, проходить через закрутну решітку 3, в результаті чого швидкість потоку різко знижується, величина відцентрових сил зменшується, краплі осідають на внутрішніх стінках бризковловлювача 2. Шлами з бризковловлювача зливаються в приймальний бак 1, де вони змішуються з технічною водою. З баку вода частково подається на форсунки конфузора труби Вентурі, а частково виводяться з апарату по трубі 11.

Швидкісні пиловловлювачі застосовують для остаточного очищення запилених газів в системах пиловловлення сушарок. Ефективність уловлення пилу в швидкісних пиловловлювачах становить 96—98 %.

Hamsters are interesting small animals that are often kept as pets. If you are thinking about getting a hamster, then you are bound to have a lot of questions about these rodents. How much do hamsters cost? What kind of equipment will I need and how much will it cost? In this article you'll find answers to these questions and more.
Hamsters cost anywhere from $5 to $30. The price depends on the demand for the specific breed in your area. There are over 20 different types of hamsters, however only the following 5 breeds are commonly kept as pets: Syrian, Campbell's, Winter White, Roborovski and Chinese.
While hamsters themselves are quite cheap, they are not the only thing you'll have to spend money on when getting a hamster. As I'm sure you already know, you'll also need to buy a few accessories and equipment.
So, let's take a look at the things a hamster needs and how much do these things cost.
Hamster cage prices start at $20. When choosing a cage for a hamster, the most important thing is that the cage has a solid base. A wired floor would be uncomfortable for a hamster and it could also cause injuries.
Exercise wheels for hamsters cost around $10, but a lot of hamster cages already have an exercise wheels fitted in them, so chances are you won't be needing to buy one separately.
If the hamster cage you bought doesn't have an exercise wheel, then this is something you'll need to buy as soon as possible.
Getting plenty of exercise is essential for your hamster to be healthy. In the wild hamster run around a lot, if you do not make it possible for your hamster to exercise in the cage, then it's likely to lead to obesity. Depression and other health problems could also occur as a result of not getting enough exercise.
Bedding and nesting material for hamsters cost anywhere from $3 to $30, prices vary depending on the materials. Pine wood shavings seems to be the cheapest option. According to the experts, it's best to avoid using cotton wool as the bedding material for your hamster. A hamster can easily get caught in cotton wool; and, what is even worse, a hamster can choke on cotton wool if he/she would ingest it.
A small ceramic or metal dish suitable for hamsters usually costs around $3. Plastic dishes are cheaper, but not recommended as hamsters are likely to chew on plastic.
Feeding equipment is not a necessity, but it's still good to have a feeding bowl for your hamster. While a hamster would be happy just to eat his/her food off the floor, it creates a mess and makes it difficult for you to measure how much food your pet is eating.
Water bottles suitable for hamsters cost anywhere from $5 to $12. It's recommended to get a chew proof water bottle.
While the feeding dish is not a necessity, a water bottle is. A lot of hamster cages, though, already come with a fitted water bottle.
A grooming brush suitable for small animals costs around $7.
Hamsters do not need a lot of grooming. They are naturally clean animal and groom themselves. However, if you have a long-haired hamster, then a little help from you might be needed.
Hamster toys can cost anywhere from $0.99 to $15 or even more.
As long as your hamster has an exercise wheel, additional toys are not necessary, but they are recommended. As your hamster will spend most of his/her time in a small cage, it would be nice of you to try to make his/her life as interesting as possible.
Hamster food costs around $5 for a 5 pound pack, which should last about a month.
If you also buy treats especially made for hamsters, then you can easily spend another $5 a month or even more, but that is not necessary. You can simply use fruits and vegetables as treats for your hamster.
What fruits are safe for hamsters?
When feeding your hamster it's important to keep in mind that a hamster should always have access to food. It's not a question of life or death, but hamsters do like to snack a lot, so it's good to always keep some food ready for them to snack on.
If your hamster gets ill, then he or she might need veterinary treatment. It is difficult to predict the exact cost of veterinary treatment as it depends on a lot of different factors. However, it is unlikely that you'll have to spend more than $50, including the consultation cost.
While a hamster itself can only cost your around $5 to $30, you'll also need to buy equipment to create a comfortable habitat for your new pet.
In total, if you are looking to buy a hamster and don't already own any of the required equipment, you are looking to spend at least $60 to get everything you need.
Also, keep in mind that getting a hamster is not only a financial responsibility. Hamsters live around 2 to 3 years, which is not a long time, but during that time, they need to be regularly cared for.
You'll need to regularly clean the hamster's cage, change the bedding, add food to the food bowl and make sure there's always clean water in the water bottle. So, before rushing into the nearest pet shop to buy yourself a hamster, take a moment to think whether you are ready for the responsibilities that come with getting a pet hamster.
Actually this post is very inaccurate, we got everything for around 20 euros which is like 25 dollars, we got a lot of stuff on ebay where we got a cage for 10 cents with a lot of stuff, and we got a hamster for 5 dollars, a russian dwarf hamster to be exact, also PLEASE DO NOT USE PINE OR CEDAR BEDDING, they may be cheap but they can cause an infection in the hamster and need to go to the vet which will cost you more than normal bedding! i recomend aspen wood shavings or a paper based bedding that isnt scented, also 25 dollars is like the starting point but a lot of the costs are one-time costs, such as a water bottle, wheel, cage etc.
so that round up to around 5 dollars a month on average, i also advise you not to wash your hamster with water, it gets your hamster sick. if it gets too dirty use sand instead of water, i have been a hamster owner for about a month and i have researched every little bit of it, i mean most 12 year-olds wont do that, so please consider this before getting a hamster for your kid or kids, if you do not care for them the vet bills can be huge and the hamster can die alltogether, which can crush you or your kid,(if you have one) so keep a check on what you get, keep your hamster happy and healthy!

Speaking as somebody who owns almost all of the Tintins, even Lake of Sharks (with the exception of In the Congo and In the Land of the Soviets), I feel that this started strong but then lost its way in the end. While I understand and enjoy the shoutouts in the biologies of the 2714-1 instances, I feel that you tried to shove too many different plot threads into this. The tone of the journal entries, especially the last one, feels inconsistent.

Basically, you tell Escoffier's entire life story and build him into a rounded character with complex motivations and characterizations over the course of those few addenda. He had an existance beyond just the creation of this anomaly… but the creation of this anomaly is where that story ended, in a tragic way. That's a strong narrative, there.

Odd, since many depictions of AWCY have them a expression that is definitively decentralised. However, there is no rule to say that someone won't take that "brand" and appropriate it for their purposes. It's not like AWCY have lawyers to take down those types.

Not the author here, but I did something digging on the matter.
The book cover, as found on Wikipedia, is under fair use. Specifically, its licensing is this:
This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers
to illustrate an article discussing the book in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
So yeah, it seems really dodgy.

Voct 30 Apr 2016 15:39
here's what's going on.
Mr Escoffier was a Tintin fanatic who tried to summon lovecraftian monstrosities, but their minds accidentally got trapped within the Tintin book.
When you open the book to the page in question, the monstrosities' (Tintin-based) bodies instantiate, but remain mindless and inert, because their minds are trapped in the panels of the book. They keep screaming and ranting in Tintin-based vocabularies, and they can't even stop making Tintin allusions.
Their bodies are based on the four main characters of Tintin (three humans and a dog): Tintin (orange hair and light blue outfit), Captain Haddock (black hair and dark blue outfit), Professor Calculus (black hair and green outfit), and Snowy (white dog). The whiskey is because Captain Haddock was a heavy drinker, and they're giant barnacles because one of Captain Haddock's character traits was his ridiculously ornate swearing, including a phrase which was translated into English as "BILLIONS OF BLUE BLISTERING BARNACLES".
If the monstrosity minds could control the bodies, they could wreak great terror on this pathetic world. But they can't. They can't control the bodies, they can't access them, they can't even make the bodies die or de-instantiate. All they can do is alter the text in the speech bubbles on two pages of one copy of one graphic novel.
And then you close the book, and the entities' minds are forced back into dormancy.

The reason they're trapped is because the AWCY anartists sabotaged the arcane ritual, sealing the monsters in Escoffier's beloved book. They basically used Escoffier to get to his father, who they intend to kill, usurp his power/replace him as Karcists, and use it to make millions off their art.
So Escoffier could never rejoin the religion, his gods are being tortured for all time, and his father he so desperately wanted to connect with is dead.
And so an innocent Sarkicist, broken by the world, dies.

In summary, a Sarkicist got screwed over by anartists. We have gone a long way since the apocalyptic SK-class causing beings.
Voct 11 May 2016 14:55
Actually, I've realized — and discussed this with LordStonefish on IRC — that AWCY isn't even necessary here.
The barnacles are indicative of why. They allude to the phrase "billions of blistering blue barnacles", which only appeared in the English translation. Escoffier was a francophone. Why would he have the English-language version instead of the French-language original?
He was a collector and a completionist. This is why he had the translated version — but also, it's why he used the translated version. He didn't want to use his prized original! It was a first printing! It was even autographed! If he sacrificed it in the ritual, it'd be ruined!
So instead of sacrificing to his gods something he truly valued and prized and cherished, he used something which he considered a barely-adequate substitute. Maybe he figured the gods wouldn't notice?
And now his gods are lobotomized blobs of flesh based on the English dialogue.
If you look at the original French, Capitaine Haddock's original swearing — the phrase which was translated to "billions of blistering blue barnacles" — was "mille millions de mille sabords de tonnerre de Brest". That basically means he was swearing by gunports from which cannons were firing. Imagine what would have happened if that had formed the basis of the godbodies.
The godminds aren't trapped in the book forever, though. Just until the original summoning is complete. They just have to form "billions of blistering blue barnacles", then they'll finally be free.
Literally, they have to form billions of barnacloid godbodies. A minimum of two billion. 2 * 109.
And they can only form three at a time. And each triad takes ten minutes to form. And they can only form when the book is open to the right page.
The book would have to be open to that page for over eleven thousand years.

Interesting input overall, although I would think that AWCY does have a place here. I mean, the most common depiction of Sarkicism is that they are this nigh-apocalyptic cult that will has trashed the ancient world and will trash the modern world. To see their gods screwed over by anomalous art shows that they are not the be-all and end-all of the Foundation-verse's fate.
But heck, I am exploiting applicability and headcanon.

I love that you both got it. It's both, actually. There's essentially two stories going on here. An outer one, and an internal struggle. There was hubris from all parties, and it all resulted in the same tragedy.
Escoffier is probably the most relatable Sarkicist in many ways. I feel like we can all understand him on some level. We've all been to that kind of place in our lives.

Today – the Day of Mourning – the Riigikogu started the sitting with a moment of silence to commemorate the victims of the June 1941 deportation.
Minister of Economy and Communication Juhan Parts replied to the interpellation concerning the impact of emigration of labour force on Estonian economy, submitted by Members of the Riigikogu Olga Sõtnik, Evelyn Sepp, Lauri Laasi, Kadri Simson, Ain Seppik and Lembit Kaljuvee on 10 May (No 444).
According to Parts, studies have shown that the emigration flows and predicted migration flows have remained too low to significantly influence unemployment or salary level in Estonia. The impact of labour force emigration varies according to whether it is temporary or permanent, with the intention of remaining abroad. "A positive impact of the temporary emigration of labour force is definitely improved skills and know-how of the Estonian workers, as well as the consequent money flows to Estonia. Permanent emigration mostly has a negative impact. This is where the possible brain drain, reduced productivity and waste of state investment into education become issues," explained Parts.
The Minister referred to a project which should entice back people who have left Estonia for various reasons. The Talents Home! project counts the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry among its initiators. The project is funded from the Smart Decisions Fund and concentrates on Estonian students who have left to study in foreign universities on long term programmes, as well as on Estonian citizens who have acquired considerable work experience abroad. As an example, Parts pointed to the development centres programme that has brought a great number of Estonian students, but also post graduate level scientists, back to Estonia. "Creation of such jobs as well as promoting the creation of such jobs by the government in cooperation with entrepreneurs and universities is definitely one of the most important roads to take," Parts commented.
Minister of Regional Affairs Siim Valmar Kiisler replied to the interpellation concerning the member of the Nõva Rural Municipality Council who had failed to receive support from voters, submitted by Members of the Riigikogu Vladimir Velman, Lauri Laasi, Kadri Simson, Tiit Kuusmik, Lembit Kaljuvee, Enn Eesmaa, Evelyn Sepp, Ain Seppik and Rein Ratas on 19 May (No 453).
Minister of Economy and Communication Juhan Parts did not have to reply to the interpellation concerning the right to drive tractors, submitted by Members of the Riigikogu Ester Tuiksoo, Jaanus Marrandi, Mai Treial, Villu Reiljan and Karel Rüütli on 3 May, because the interpellators withdrew it.
During the open microphone, Helle Kalda, Marika Tuus and Heimar Lenk took the floor.

Two Man Utd Players Put 'Transfer Plans On Hold' Ahead Of Rangnick's Appointment
By Ashish Sreejith | November 26, 2021
Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial are no longer in a hurry to secure a transfer away as they await Ralf Rangnick's appointment.
Following a 4-1 defeat at Watford, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked after enduring a tough run of games prior to it. Michael Carrick was consequently appointed as interim manager but it seems like he will be returning to his assistant duties very soon.
The Athletic reported on Thursday that Manchester United have an agreement in place with Rangnick over a six-month contract for an interim manager role. Following the end of his management tenure, the German will be under a two-year contract on a consultancy basis.
This spells good news for those who were out of favour during Solskjaer's reign. Martial and Van de Beek – who ironically scored the final goal for United under the Norwegian's management – looked set to leave in January but that is no longer the case, according to ESPN.
As per the report, the pair will wait and see how the next six weeks under the former RB Leipzig manager's charge goes before making a decision on their future. Furthermore, it is said that the duo has suitors awaiting all across Europe.
However, it can be speculated that their preference has shifted to staying put following the ex-Cardiff City boss' departure. Now, with the arrival of a new manager, if they can get their career in England back on track, that would definitely be ideal.
There is no doubt that there is a player in each of them, but whether they will be able to impress the 63-year-old in such a short span of time is something unclear. Whatever the case may be, by January, there is likely to be closure in the case.

It was really, really weird to watch a San Jose Sharks team without Patrick Marleau last season. Losing your franchise's leader in virtually every major offensive category is certainly strange, but despite the change of the guard, the Sharks continued their two-decade-long trend of being a playoff team.
Last season was one of change for San Jose. For the first time since virtually anybody can remember, Patrick Marleau didn't wear a Shark on his jersey. The franchise's all-time leader in points inked a deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the off-season, ending a 1493-game tenure. Beyond that, when Joe Thornton missed half of the season with an injury, the Sharks were without their two best players in history, two staples of the past decade.
Still, the Sharks managed to push through with a different identity. Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture led the way as a one-two punch down the middle, each eclipsing the 60-point plateau. Reigning Norris Trophy winner Brent Burns put up another ridiculously-good offensive campaign while Marc-Edouard Vlasic, the yin to his yang, was stable as usual defensively. Martin Jones posted a .915 save percentage and his backup, Aaron Dell, was just as good in relief.
But the story in San Jose was how a wealth of young players stepped up to push the team over the top. Chris Tierney and Kevin Labanc each reached the 40-point plateau for the first time in their young careers and Timo Meier scored 21 goals in his first full NHL season. Depth youngsters Marcus Sorensen, Dylan DeMelo, and Barclay Goodrow also all thrived in increased roles last year.
The Sharks never really had a prolonged cold streak last season. They were consistently solid all throughout the year, losing more than three games in a row just twice. One of those times came right around the New Year with Thornton on the Injured Reserve and the other came at the tail end of the season, but they still ended up sweeping the Anaheim Ducks in the first round.
Major Subtractions: Mikkel Boedker, Paul Martin, Joel Ward, Eric Fehr, Jannik Hansen.
The Sharks made a major addition for about 10 minutes this summer. They grabbed Mike Hoffman from the absolute garbage fire known as the Ottawa Senators, but they quickly flipped him to Florida in a separate deal. This deal is particularly hilarious because Pierre Dorion said he didn't want to trade Hoffman within the division and he ended up with the Panthers. Anyways, this deal was mainly about the Sharks opening up cap room by dumping Mikkel Boedker's salary.
They opened up that cap room in order to make a free agent stab at John Tavares, but he ended up signing a long-term deal with his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs. When they missed out on the Tavares sweepstakes, the Sharks ended up standing pat, ultimately choosing not to make any major free agent investments.
They re-signed Evander Kane, who they acquired at the trade deadline, to a seven-year deal, Logan Couture got a new eight-year deal, Joe Thornton got re-upped for another year, and Tomas Hertl got a four-year contract.
So while the Sharks didn't make any additions, they continued to get their core locked up for the foreseeable future. They now have Couture, Kane, Hertl, Jones, Burns, and Vlasic locked up for at least four more seasons.
The Sharks have been one of the most consistently-good teams ever seen in NHL history. They've made the playoffs in 18 of their last 20 seasons and they spent much of that time as a legit Stanley Cup contender. They obviously aren't the contender they were back in Thornton and Marleau's hay day, but the Sharks are still a playoff calibre team.
As Thornton and Marleau aged, the Sharks ultimately opted to retool rather than rebuild. They allowed a new core of Burns, Vlasic, Pavelski, and Couture to carry the torch and it worked out for them last season. This isn't a new, young core by any stretch, though. Joe Pavelski just turned 34 years old, Burns is 33, and Vlasic is 31.
The Sharks are much like their division rivals from Anaheim. They're a largely old team with an interesting blend of young talent, but you can't help but look at their roster and think that they're a few things going wrong away from falling off a cliff.
Still, like with Anaheim, this veteran team continues to get the job done, so I wouldn't bet on the decline happening yet. Burns and Vlasic form the core of a very good blueline, Jones has been rock solid in net since arriving in San Jose three years ago, and the team boasts a lot of scoring options up front. Adding a full season of Evander Kane to the mix doesn't hurt either.
Besides McDavid of course. IMO the best chance the Oilers have of making the playoffs is that the Pacific Division will be the weakest in the league. Every other Div has two or three stud teams you can pencil in right now. But I don't see any real cup contenders here. On paper the Sharks probably have the best chance with a fair amount of good but not great young players to support an aging all star cast.
I agree. The Sharks are a good team and they've always been good, even when Todd was their head coach. Really my only question mark for them is Evander Kane. That contract though…ew.
Still, here's my top 3.
So the Oilers are going to make up 31 points on Vegas and more than 20 on LA and 23 on Ducks?
There were 2 teams with 44 wins last year that MISSED the playoffs.
Oilers need at least 100 POINTS to make the playoffs this year.
Last season 78 points on ONLY 36 wins.
Oilers are NO WHERE NEAR MAKING the playoffs this season.
Did they replace Sekera yet?
Did they sign Nurse yet?
Wasn't Vegas in the cup Final?
If everything falls into place for Edmonton (consistent goaltending, secondary scoring) they might be in a Wildcard race?
One thing that the Sharks have got going for them is that they are a preferred destination for many players because of life style. The sun shine states have a real advantage when it comes to signing players.
Today top players are financially set by the time they are in their mid 20's, so getting a million more to play for another team is not as big as it once was.
Their wealth allows them to chose life style as much as team, when Vegas becomes a power house and they are on their way to this, it wont be hard for the player convincing his wife to go to Vegas for 3 or 4 years.
Teams like Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Carolina and Buffalo are not destination cities, these teams have to be really good teams to get players to want to play for them.
It's not fair but that's the way it is.
Having a tire fire of a management team does not help. Done by Xmas.
Agree with your points…but if the Oilers ever become a consistent threat to win the cup (I do realize that's a big IF at this point), perhaps the opportunity to play with Connor and get name on the cup.
Tell that to Blake Wheeler… He wouldn't want to be anywhere else when it comes to lifestyle for him and his family.
I just read a small article when he just extended his contract, that when he first went to the Peg that his wife wasn't too happy.
Now, she wouldn't want to be anywhere else. She suggested it's the perfect place to raise a family.
Blake said that the team & more importantly his wife were the main reasons why he extended early.
The Sharks will be pushing the top of the division this year. I dont see any reason why they wouldn't. Next offseason is the one im interested in for the sharks. 11 contracts to negotiate. 6 of them RFA's. 2 of them needing a substantial raise, and as if this morning only 4.3 in capspace…also not factoring in Couture extra 2 million a year he starts getting paid next year. Very curious. Kane better show more than he EVER has before or that contract will be one the bigger albatrosses in the league.
But even with that, Doug Wilson is a trade master. Always seems to be able to move a bad contract for nothing, always able to acquire the guy he needs. I think they are entering cap hell next year and their window to win is closing fast, but i wont bet against the sharks to address their needs and fix their problems as they arise. their ace in the hole will be Joe Thornton. If they need the cap space they wont offer him his customary 5 mill a year contract next year.
People forget , we beat the sharks in the playoffs, should have beat the ducks also .. barf. Our core has only improved and got a year older. We added new pieces such as Rieder, Aberg, Rattie.
Plus the bottom players for the 4th line which is an upgrade. Jjk is trending up also.
We beat Vegas bad most of the year so why can't we this year ? Our team should improve a lot. I wouldn't count them out … oh and we have some guy named McDavid who should do pretty well this year too.
I think the Kane deal may bite the Sharks.
Which part the contract or his Attitude issue ?

Cuomo Signs Confederate Flag Sale Ban
Posted by VoteSpotter | 16 December 2020
If you want to sell Confederate flags on government property in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has other plans for you. This week he signed legislation to prohibit the sale of "symbols of hate" on state-owned property. Critics say that this ban almost certainly runs afoul of the First Amendment.
Under this new law, no "symbols of hate" could be sold on public property, including state fairgrounds. These symbols are defined to include "symbols of white supremacy, neo-Nazi ideology, or the battle flag of the Confederacy." Even private sellers on public land could not sell them, which would encompass vendors at fairs or others who rent space on state-owned property. Museums and other educational institutions are exempt.
Gov. Cuomo defended his action, saying that "by limiting the display and sale of the confederate flag, Nazi swastika and other symbols of hatred from being displayed or sold on state property, including the state fairgrounds, this will help safeguard New Yorkers from the fear-installing effects of these abhorrent symbols."
Critics note that this ban is likely unconstitutional. They note that courts have long held that hate speech is protected by the First Amendment. By focusing the ban on the meaning of a symbol, they argue that the law is discriminating against certain viewpoints. The Constitution does not allow this.
The governor acknowledges that certain aspects of the bill may need to be fixed to make them constitutional. However, he signed it regardless of these concerns.
Do you think that it violates the First Amendment to ban the sale of Confederate flags on public property?

I've used this valuable Bible study tool since it' second earliest version. It offers the easiest cross referencing and access to commentaries and dictionaries, including Greek and Hebrew, of any program I am aware of. It also offers a multitude of Bible translations in other languages including Russian, German, French, Spanish, Tagalog and a large number of English translations. It has its own lesson planner, but I have always preferred to copy and paste text to a Word program for further development. Its commentaries and dictionaries have vastly aided my studi es and helped me deepen and broaden my scriptural knowledge. From the beginning, the developer, Phil Linder never attempted to profiteer from this marvelous tool and now allows it to be downloaded for free. The price I have paid in the past for quantity orders was about a dollar per cd. That allows many to be given away. A great way to study God's Word.
This is very help tool for the Pastors. Thank you very much!
