The Newest Rant: Graphic Novel Review--"Liberty: Deception."
When I attended Wizard World Saint Louis recently I actually talked with the folk behind the comic, "Liberty: Deception," but didn't mention them in any posts as I completely forgot to take their information (fliers, etc.) which is how I always keep track of the people I interact with at cons. However, I had given them my card so when they reached-out to me about if I'd like to have a digital copy of, "Liberty: Deception," sent over for the purposes I review I gave them my standard spiel about how I'll express an honest opinion about the comic that may upset them but would otherwise welcome the chance to read some good indie-publisher stuff (I'm reading so, so much less of Marvel and DC lately and love good independent works more and more). Hence, a digital copy was provided and I delved into, "Liberty: Deception." What were my thoughts? Read on and find out, obviously!
"Liberty: Deception," centers its story on a man named Tertulius Justus, an investigator for the Government of the terraformed planet Atrian. Justus is famed for his incredible combat skills, amazing deductive mind, and ability to make any lady swoon in seduced delight. Except, that is all a complete lie. Justus actually was just some underachieving kid who was given-over to the totalitarian Government by his parents in the hope he would have a better life. After that, the Planet's Government (controlled by the mysterious Archon Reeve who helped Atrian become as successful as it supposedly is) concocted an elaborate back-story for, "Justus," and made-up countless lies about his fighting for the people of Atrian when in fact all the television shows and stories about his exploits are utterly fake--he's just some actor pretending to be a planetary-hero.
There is something that feels uncomfortably possible about the idea that someone could be used by an evil Government as little more than a piece of propaganda, with their lies helping keeping the populace subdued and willing to ignore just how few rights they have because they are at least sufficiently entertained. This sort of thing has undoubtedly happened in a number of countries and the United States has had its own accusations of being dominated by politically-motivated media that is, "Fake news," as some say. I'm sure the team behind, "Liberty: Deception," had been working on it long before things got the way they currently are politically, but it just so happens their book has come out at a disturbingly perfect time that what once would have seemed far-fetched now feels nauseatingly conceivable.
This disturbingly realistic idea immediately hooked me into the story and it only got stranger as Justus is suddenly fired from his job and then abducted with the plan clearly being to murder him--the story hints that the shadowy Government perhaps worries their star is becoming a bit too beloved. This takes our story to the prison where Justus was going to be killed before all the guards realize who he is and figure he must be doing a deep-cover assignment (a lie which Justus is only too happy to further). From that point on Justus assembles a group with some other actual convicts and they make their way out of the prison to the no-man's land known as the Fringe.
I enjoyed watching Justus and his rag-tag team escape from prison, but right as things got really interesting with more of the Government's motivations revealed and everyone making it to the miserable place known as the Fringe, the book reached its end until the next one comes out! This was a real downer as while I enjoy a good prison-break story I found myself even more interested in all the secret corruption and how God-awful the Fringe looked. In the story itself Justus states he knows he has zero clue how to survive out in the Fringe as all the stories about him are lies, so I especially would have loved to see more of how this faux-hero struggles when he actually has to fight for survival.
Thankfully, my thirst for more content set in the world of, "Liberty: Deception," can be sated as the good folk behind the comic actually also do in-continuity podcasts which tell cool stories about this sci-fi Universe. Plus, they also have a free role-playing game fans can do to create their own snazzy adventures! I personally like that this story isn't simply limited to a comic but exists in multiple formats for people to enjoy, as I am of course someone who loves creative concepts like this!

Q: Cannot connect to Postgres deployed to Kubernetes I am stuck trying to debug a connection issue with PostgreSQL deployed with minikube. I've tried creating the postgres-service with both type NodePort and LoadBalancer but I cannot seem to connect with psql from my localhost.

$ export PGPASSWORD=admin
$ psql -h localhost -U admin -p 32252 admin
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused

I've also tried creating a Ubuntu deployment in the cluster, using kubectl run -i --tty --attach --image=ubuntu -- bash, installing psql and connecting on 5432/32252, localhost/postgres-service, etc... but that doesn't work either.

A: Minikube run in a VM. In here, psql -h localhost -U admin -p 32252 admin you are trying to connect to postgres that is exposed in localhost. But it is not exposed in the localhost. Since you defined NodePort type service, you can access it using Node ip. So, instead of using localhost, try Minikube ip.
 $ minikube ip

A: The cause turned out to be a mismatch in label key in the service selector, app: postgres-container, and the deployment label, name: postgres-container.
Now I can connect, using the minikube ip for NodePort:
$ export PGPASSWORD=admin
$ psql -h 192.168.99.100 -U admin -p 30917 admin

or localhost when the service is type LoadBalancer.

LOVE – It's More Than a Spark
by PWC | Feb 15, 2020 | PWC
How do you know when you've met 'the one'? Can people stay in love forever? What is 'love'? There are a million books out there that will explain, in excruciating detail, how love works and how to find it. But many of us don't have the time to read these books! So here is a mini True-False compilation on how to find, recognize, and sustain a loving relationship.
Is attraction objective? What if I'm not an attractive person?
Attraction is subjective, it's in the eye of the beholder. Keep doing you and someday you'll find someone that loves you the way you are!
Should I go to bars more so I can meet other single people?
If you like going to bars, then sure! But if you are the type of person that doesn't really like drinking, then go where your compatible partners are. Join a club for something you are passionate about, go to the gym if you enjoy an active lifestyle, join a book-club if you love to read…. Don't change your personality to meet new people, or you'll just keep meeting the wrong new people.
Do similarities attract? Or do opposites attract?
Both!
Data shows that relationship longevity correlates with having similarities with your partner. But that doesn't mean you have to be into the same sports, music, and hobbies. The similarities that are crucial for a lasting relationship are attitudes and beliefs (i.e. similar outlook on life and compatible morals).
Opposites attract when the other person has a personality trait that complements your own (i.e. an introvert may be attracted to an extrovert because they need someone who's more comfortable in social situations).
Do all successful loving relationships start out as friendships?
Not necessarily, but a friendship must develop alongside the romantic relationship. Remember that a 'good friendship' includes help, praise, sympathy, emotional support, advice giving, social ties, and a feeling of belonging. Don't these also sound like the cornerstones of a healthy romantic relationship? So even if you and your romantic partner do not start off as friends, you should grow together as friends.
There is some debate about this, but here are some facts to consider. Both positive and negative experiences stimulate a physical arousal (e.g. anxiety, nervousness, tension, excitement, heart palpitations, blushing, accelerated breathing…). Our brains can accidentally simulate a feeling of "love" if the labeling process is strong enough in the moment of physical arousal. This explains the initial feelings of passion (when you feel sexually attracted to another person). But true love grows with time. Only time brings intimacy and commitment, through communication and the development of trust.
What is the number one way to ensure a successful relationship?
Well the short answer is, there is no 'one way' because relationships are complex and change over time. However, "successful communication" is undeniably an extremely important foundation to all successful relationships. The term "successful communication" was put in quotes because there are right and wrong ways to communicate. Remember that "Successful communication" is open, realistic, tactful, caring, and valued – and it takes practice!
And don't forget:
1) Learn to calm down first.
2) Validate your partner's perspectives.
3) Learn to speak and listen non-defensively.
I think the hardest part about understanding how to attain "love" is that there is so much misinformation floating around; it's hard to know what's real when movies and TV shows seem to mimic reality. I would be lying if I said I had never compared my relationships to those on TV. But I have to remind myself that movies and shows are meant to entertain us, they were not created to mimic reality. In fact, Reality TV Shows are even worse than fiction because so many of the situations are either fabricated by writers or only a reflection of what a person would do while on camera. It's all fake, real love is so much better! Real love is validating and reassuring. So if you celebrated Valentine's Day with a loved-one, I think now is the perfect time to talk to them about how to deepen your friendship so your romance can stand the test of time.

Roadways in bad condition create situations that must be factored into auto maintenance. Potholes and roads with damage can cause wheel alignment problems.
It is important to have your car's suspension and wheel alignment checked regularly as part of your routine maintenance plan to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. If you notice irregular wear patterns on your tires or the vehicle pulls to one side, it is time to schedule an appointment for a certified import auto technician in Raleigh to inspect your car. Failing to take your vehicle to a properly trained and certified technician can result in more costly repairs in the future.
Having the alignment of your wheels and steering system checked is part of standard car maintenance that requires adjustments to the angle of wheels back to the manufacturers specifications. This will allow for the steering and suspension systems to operate at optimal angles to reduce vehicle wear and improve fuel efficiency.
Chances are, you purchased your car less because of necessity, but because import autos are known for their high performance and superior engineering. But even the most durable cars need regular maintenance to keep the vehicle operating at the same peak performance it did off the showroom floor.
If left untreated, poor wheel alignment can ruin steering and suspension due to unnecessary stress added to the components.
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend getting your car aligned once per year at a minimum. There are situations that may require more frequent alignment, such as installing new tires or after any suspension component replacements.
Proper alignment helps ensure tire manufactures will honor their tread life warranty. They will commonly request alignment specifics from the point of tire installation.
What Does a Complete and Proper Wheel Alignment Require?
To check for proper wheel alignment, our Raleigh import technicians will do more than check your vehicle's tires. Repairing your vehicle's alignment requires adjustment of the steering system. Our techs will conduct a thorough inspection of the condition and wear of your tires, steering, and suspension system.
Your car will be placed on alignment rack, equipped with sensors that are attached to each wheel. The sensors send information to a computer for a digital readout of necessary adjustments to wheel alignment.
Camber – measure of perpendicular offset to road surface. Test of factory camber settings to prevent tires from leaning inward or outward.
Caster – adjustment of pivot point angles between top and bottom of tire to allow for proper control of vehicle. This is attached to the suspension and is responsible for keeping wheels in line and tracking straight.
Toe – helps to prevent drift, minimizing tire wear by adjusting the angle of the directional difference between the tire and centerline of the vehicle.
Properly aligned wheels will be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the tire beside it.
Triangle Imports provides the latest balancing, mounting, and alignment equipment and techniques to help your car perform best. To get the best performance out of your car, it is essential to schedule maintenance and repair appointments with factory trained technicians like the team at Triangle Imports.

Miami Beach, FL (November 8, 2018) – Faena Art announced today additional information on its commissions and programs for its inaugural multidisciplinary festival that will be presented during Miami Art Week. Running from December 3 through 9, 2018, the Faena Festival: This Is Not America, is keyed to Miami's enduring role as a port that welcomes migrants, refugees, and tourists from across the U.S. and the Americas, and from countries throughout the world. The festival engages with the multiplicity of communities and cultures and the palimpsest of histories that have created the Americas while responding specifically to Miami as its hemispheric hub. All programming is free and open to the public.
extends beyond into public spaces of the city of Miami Beach as an experiential platform. The diverse venues of the Faena District Miami Beach will be activated, including the public areas of the street and beach; the Faena Hotel, including its theater and screening room; and Faena Forum—the OMA-designed cultural centerpiece of Faena District Miami Beach.
• Derrick Adams' America's Playground, a site-specific immersive installation that responds to the history and urban development of Miami in the Jim Crow south—especially in relation to ownership, real estate and urban planning in the neighborhood of Overtown. Drawing upon his research into the "Green Book," as well as Miami's role as "The Playground of the America's," and overlooked urban development parallels, Adams will create an interactive playground installation on the Faena Beach. The work is a reference to the playgrounds built for children in the historic black community of Overtown in Miami, which were deliberately placed out of sight and underneath the freeways that were themselves built in the 1960s in the name of modernism and urban renewal, but that ultimately destroyed many of these same neighborhoods—a story that has repeated in cities all over America. Faena Beach. Monday, December 3 – Sunday, December 9, 12 p.m. – 8 p.m.
• Cecilia Bengolea's site-specific installation and performance La mujer que se disfrazaba como esponja para bailar al fondo del mar: Hommage al Mar is created for the Faena Forum in collaboration with the Caribbean and Miami communities of street, strip, and folkloric religious dancers. Nancy St. Leger, a traditional Afro-Haitian dancer and teacher, is a guest choreographer and Narsha Cummings, a West African dancer, drummer, and teacher, collaborates with her group of children and adult performers. In this piece, the multiple dance and music genres share a practice of spiritual street dance which hinges on the intersection of the sacred and profane. Converting the Forum into a contemporary temple, the choreography is an embodied language that becomes the memory, the archive, and a proposal for the future—a dance of hybrid bodies and sponges, the first animal to appear on earth. Faena Forum. Monday, December 3 at 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. and Tuesday, December 4 at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
• Isabel Lewis will host An Occasion, a celebratory gathering of things, people, plants, dances, and scent. Lewis unfolds a specific dramaturgy attuned to her guests and their energies shaping a live experience using choreography, music, spoken address, and storytelling in ways that allow for conversation, contemplation, dancing, listening, or just simply being. She creates an aesthetic situation that moves beyond the merely visual where the entire human sensorium is addressed. Lewis poses the question of how to live a good and flourishing life in tempestuous times and proposes the figures of the lover, the dancer, and the gardener as guides on this quest. Lewis will be joined in the performance by local dancers. Faena Forum Amphitheater. Monday, December 3 at 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. and Tuesday, December 4 at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
• Wu Tsang, a 2018 MacArthur Fellow, with long-term collaborator boychild, has been commissioned to create a new site-specific performance-film project for the cabaret-style Faena Theater. The two-act performance, entitled Love is a rebellious bird, takes the tensions of colonialism, diaspora, and "otherness" as starting points, particularly within the context of Miami's opulence and decadence, and navigates the overlapping legacies of cabaret and drag. The live performance will be the culmination of a one-week residency, consisting of filming in the Faena Theater and other areas of the Faena Hotel. Faena Theater at the Faena Hotel. Monday, December 3 at 10:30 p.m.
• Luna Paiva's A Matter of Time is an immersive environment that allows viewers to move within the remnants of a typical home or cabin—the leftovers memorialized in bronze: a chimney, plastic picnic chairs, curtains, and carpet. Luna's shimmering objects are outside of time, a threshold between past and future, a reflection on quickly fading symbols and mythology around the "American Dream". An archeological meditation, the installation is a vision of what remains after everything else is stripped away. These artifacts of comfort and solidity seemingly become the contents of a shipwreck, or what is left after an apocalyptic storm. Faena Beach. Monday, December 3 – Sunday, December 9, 12 p.m. – 8 p.m.
• George Sánchez-Calderón will present How to Win Friends and Influence People, a facsimile of the "Cape Cod" model home from Levittown, NY. In 1947, the Levittown development ushered in a new era emblematic of the "American Dream" and is considered to be the first suburban community built in the United States. The house will be set ablaze on December 4th, a day associated with Saint Barbara, who in Cuban Yoruba traditions is syncretized with the orisha Changó (Shangó), God of thunder, lightning, and wars. Given the recent fires in California, the house becomes a symbol of displacement, a ritual healing, and reminder of the intertwined relationship between urban development and climate change.
Faena Beach. Monday, December 3 – Sunday, December 9, 12 p.m. – 8 p.m.

• Tavares Strachan, winner of the 2018 Frontier Art Prize, has created We Belong Here, a new neon work for the Faena District. The phrase is an affirmation and veiled question that, in referencing the iconic neon signage of Miami's deco drive, is a reclamation of belonging that asks us to reimagine how we define place—and this place in particular. Strachan's neon signage contextualizes Miami as the potentially quintessential American city, given its role as a sanctuary, or place of refuge, for cultures and communities from around the world, and as a bridge between North and South America.
• Miya Ando's Sora Versailles is large-scale, site-specific commission that will transform the iconic Versailles hotel within the Faena District, in response to the building's history. Examining perception and permanence, the historic Versailles will be transformed into the sky itself—the installation investigates one's relationship to time as sunset and sunrise are depicted on the four sides of the building, creating the appearance of the building disappearing and becoming transparent at certain moments of the day, while providing a cinematic and dramatic backdrop to city life at others. Ando pays homage to the building's original architect Roy France's design philosophy of "let in the air and sun" as she wraps one of Miami's most iconic buildings in clouds. Versailles hotel. Visible all day from public space on Collins Avenue and on 34th street.

5. Joseph Beuys' renowned I Like America and America Likes Me (1974), a recorded performance in which he spent several days with a coyote in a New York gallery space. Described as a "dialogue" with the animal, the performance presented Beuys as a shaman—a spiritual leader and healer who has a special affinity with animals—who traveled to the United States to enact a symbolic reconciliation between modern American society, the natural world, and Native American culture.

De Europese Remote Sensing Satellieten of ERS (Engels: European Remote-Sensing Satellites) zijn twee observatiesatellieten van Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA.

Ze worden vooral voor onderzoek van weer, klimaat en milieu gebruikt. De eerste (ERS-1) is op 17 juli 1991 gelanceerd en was de eerste observatiesatelliet van de ESA De tweede (ERS-2) werd op 21 april 1995 gelanceerd. ERS-1 is sinds 10 maart 2000 niet meer operationeel.

De Europese Aardobservatiesatelliet ERS-2 is uitgerust met het ozoninstrument GOME (Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment), waarmee de dikte van de ozonlaag met grote nauwkeurigheid wordt gemeten. Beide satellieten zijn uitgerust met radarsystemen die ook 's nachts en door de wolken heen opnamen kunnen maken van land en zee. Zo kunnen wind, zeehoogten, zeestromingen, golfpatronen, zee-ijs en ijskappen zichtbaar worden gemaakt en wordt ook de zeewatertemperatuur gemeten.

In 2002 is zijn reusachtige opvolger, de Europese milieusatelliet Envisat gelanceerd. De Envisat heeft tien instrumenten aan boord, waaronder Sciamachy, waarmee de luchtkwaliteit wordt gemeten. De satelliet brengt nauwkeurig in kaart waar bepaalde broeikasgassen zitten. Dat is nodig voor controle op de naleving van het Kyoto-protocol dat landen ertoe verplicht de uitstoot van broeikasgassen terug te dringen. Sciamachy wordt in 2004 aangevuld met het Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), een samenwerkingsproject tussen Finland en Nederland. OMI krijgt een plek op een Amerikaanse satelliet.

isn't that how they are supposed to start?
but what about the real life fairy tales?
after all, what hurts worse?
The small pain of a cigarette burn?
the small quivering helpless child within.
Have I a reason for my bitterness?
After three years of freedom am I still bitter?
Have I still a reason for my bitterness?
and it's hard to get it back.
on tangents of its own.
to help you on your way back up.
they will be forever grateful.
Would I then be a better person than the one I have become?
Would the world be any better off? or any worse?
back the way she came.
about being once bitten dances a hornpipe.
teeth showing in a mocking grin.
to the safety of her far corner.
but stops, the words half formed.
Again she tries, and again, stops.
a silence that can't be broken.
and walks to the door.
she steps out and lets the door close behind her.
because if I didn't I would cry.
to ask for the reasons why.


In Use of the GlucoWatch Biographer in Children With Type 1 Diabetes (Pediatrics 2003 Apr;111(4 Pt 1):790-4), lead investigator H. Peter Chase, MD of the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes in Denver, Colorado reported that the effectiveness of the GlucoWatch Biographer "significantly improved glucose control compared with standard therapy" and that "use of the biographer with an alarm to detect nocturnal hypoglycemia has the potential to increase the safety of diabetes management in children."
Key among the findings in the study was that more instances of hypoglycemia were detected when participants were wearing the GlucoWatch, especially at night. Since nighttime hypoglycemia remains one of the greatest sources of parental anxiety, the GlucoWatch -- at least as shown in this study -- has the potential to help reduce the likelihood of undetected hypoglycemia.
This study was funded partially by the Children with Diabetes Foundation.

US Supreme Court Kicks off 2019 with Oral Arguments in Five Cases
The U.S. Supreme Court had a busy first week of the year as the justices returned to the bench to kick off 2019. The week's oral arguments included two high-profile copyright cases.
Below is a brief summary of issues before the Court last week:
Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. v. Albrecht: The Supreme Court is again examining the preemption of FDA drug safety regulations. In Wyeth v. Levine, 555 U.S. 555 (2009), the Court held that the FDA's approval of a drug label does not, standing alone, insulate the manufacturer from failure-to-warn liability under state tort law. At the same time, the Court recognized that if "the FDA would not have approved" the label demanded by state law, then the manufacturer could invoke an "impossibility" preemption defense. In the current case, the justices will address the following question: "Whether a state-law failure-to-warn claim is pre-empted when the Food and Drug Administration rejected the drug manufacturer's proposal to warn about the risk after being provided with the relevant scientific data, or whether such a case must go to a jury for conjecture as to why the FDA rejected the proposed warning."
Rimini Street Inc. v. Oracle USA Inc.: In the closely-watched intellectual property case, the justices will determine the scope of available costs that may be recovered in a copyright infringement action.The U.S. Copyright Act dictates the fees that a prevailing party can recoup in a copyright infringement suit. Under 17 U.S.C. § 505, a court may allow the recovery of full costs by or against any party other than the United States or its officers and may also award a reasonable attorneys' fee to the prevailing party as part of the costs. Another federal statute, 28 U.S.C.§ 1920, sets out six discrete categories of "taxable costs" that are available to prevailing parties under federal statutory fee-shifting provisions. They include: fees for the clerk and marshal; transcript fees; disbursements for printing and witnesses; fees for making copies; docketing fees; and the compensation of court-appointed experts and certain special interpretation services. Another provision, Section 1821, delineates witness attendance rates ($40-per-day), as well as per diem rules for witness travel expenses. All other cost categories or amounts in excess of the fixed rates are considered "non-taxable." The specific question before the Court is: "Whether the Copyright Act's allowance of "full costs" (17 U.S.C. § 505) to a prevailing party is limited to taxable costs under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1920 and 1821, as the Eighth and Eleventh Circuits have held, or also authorizes non-taxable costs, as the Ninth Circuit holds."
Herrera v. Wyoming: The Court will again address tribal rights, this time focusing on a tribal treaty governing the Crow Tribe's rights to hunt and fish off their reservation. The justices will specifically determine "whether Wyoming's admission to the Union or the establishment of the Bighorn National Forest abrogated the Crow Tribe of Indians' 1868 federal treaty right to hunt on the 'unoccupied lands of the United States,' thereby permitting the present-day criminal conviction of a Crow member who engaged in subsistence hunting for his family."
Fourth Estate Public Benefit Corp. v. Wall-Street.com: The Court's second copyright case of the week centered on when the registration of a copyright claim has been made. Section 411(a) of the Copyright Act provides (with qualifications) that "no civil action for infringement of [a] copyright in any United States work shall be instituted until preregistration or registration of the copyright claim has been made in accordance with this title." The specific question the justices will decide is "whether the 'registration of [a] copyright claim has been made' within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 411(a) when the copyright holder delivers the required application, deposit, and fee to the Copyright Office, as the U.S. Courts of Appeal for the 5th and 9th Circuits have held, or only once the Copyright Office acts on that application, as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 10th and, in the decision below, the 11th Circuits have held."
Franchise Tax Board of California v. Hyatt: The Court will again take on "whether Nevada v. Hall, 440 U.S. 410 (1979), which permits a sovereign State to be haled into another State's courts without its consent, should be overruled." The Court deadlocked over the issue the last time this case was before it in Franchise Tax Bd. of Cal. v. Hyatt (Hyatt II), 136 S. Ct. 1277 (2016).

I receive lots of e-mails from Remington 870 owners. Many of them ask questions about upgrades or need advice about repair.
So, what is the common problem of new Remingto 870 Express shotguns? It is broken ejector spring or ejector itself. And the worst thing is that sometimes it is pretty difficult to repair it.
Here are several photos to illustrate the most frequent problems with ejector and ejector spring.
but how ? when new ? after 200 rounds ? after 1000 rounds ?
because the magazine cap screw wasn't tight well ? or a very powerful 3″ round ?
It is a difficult question because sometimes shooters fire thousands of rounds without any problems but sometimes it breaks after just 200 rouds.
I have put probably 10,000 rounds through mine over the last 8 years and it sheared off last week when the magazine cap screw came loose and a friend didn't notice.
I've got about 5000 rounds through my 870 express tactical. Dropped it on the ground (on purpose). Next time I picked it up the ejector was broken and the barrel was wobbling everywhere. Anyone know where to find a new one?
I bought a brand new, fresh, Remington 870, 20 gauge express. The very first time I shot it was dove hunting with my 3 brothers. My first shot was smooth and the dove fell. But, the shell would not eject. I had to take the barrel off to get the empty out. Put the gun together and this thing was so accurate and smooth, little recoil. Busted my next bird. Again, I needed another quick shot for a double. Nope, had to take the barrel off. Went deer hunting and had a slug barrel on it. No problems with that. Every slug empty ejected fine. Spring gobbler came in. Two birds came in to about 20 yards. I shot and the birds just stood there. Inside my blind, there I am, taking the barrel off to get the empty out, put the barrel back on. I got away with it. I got off another shot and they flew. I don't know what happened there. At the range, every different load, different brand shells, 2 3/4 or 3″. I could only get off one shot and then take off the barrel. I'm disabled and can't get out much, so this 870 sits in the vault. Haven't shot it for about 3 years now, since those first episodes. It functions perfectly with slugs and I have confidence out to 150 yards with the sabots that I'm using. but, the regular shotgun shells refuse to leave the chamber when they are shot. I guess they like that nice warm place and don't want to leave.

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon's innovative and refreshing use of social media to engage with target audiences has won the Bank the prestigious accolade of 'Social Media Brand of the Year 2018' from the Asian Customer Engagement Forum (ACEF).
This special category award was presented to the Bank at ACEF's 7th Global Customer Engagement Forum & Awards in Mumbai on 7th April. More than 620 entries were received from around the world for the different categories of awards, but Commercial Bank submitted just one and won its category.
The award recognises Commercial Bank's prodigious success in engaging with potential and existing customers with a largely non-commercial approach on five social media and messaging platforms – Facebook, Viber, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn.
Jettisoning the messaging approach it adopts with traditional media, Commercial Bank has carved a unique niche within the social media space to reach relatively younger audiences with inspirational concepts. Instead of promoting its products and services via Facebook in particular, the Bank provided an opportunity for fans to interact with it by two-way communication, providing relevant, useful and motivational information that would make a difference in their lives.
According to the Bank, this resulted in Commercial Bank's Facebook Page achieving the highest organic engagement ratios for a Bank in Sri Lanka.
Some of the colourful activations that grabbed attention on Facebook were Commercial Bank's Big Match Anthem, Big Match Poll, Miss Universe Message Contest, Great Ladies Video, Countdown to Auspicious Times, Origin of Rituals, Waste Recycle campaign, Let's Build a Beautiful Sri Lanka campaign, Amazing Sri Lanka, Then & Now Photo Challenge, "Week of Love" Valentine's Day campaign, iPhone Red Giveaway and Dinner Voucher Giveaway to name a few.
Activations, campaigns and posts of this nature resulted in Commercial Bank's Facebook page recording impressive statistics in 2017. This included 42 million plus impressions, 1.7 million video views, more than 1 million likes/reactions, and more than 300,000 page likes. The Bank recorded the highest level of engagement across Facebook pages of competitor banks, including those that had been on Facebook for longer and had more page likes.
The Bank's Viber Public Account launched in February 2017 had 143,927 followers at the end of the year, the highest number of followers across the Viber Public Accounts of all banks in the country. The official YouTube channel of the Bank had recorded a watch time of 257,941 minutes as of 31st December 2017.
This is the second consecutive year that Commercial Bank has won an award from the ACEF. The Bank's e-Passbook app received the Gold for 'Most Admired Customer Engaged Mobile App' at the 6th Asia Pacific Customer Engagement Awards in April 2017.
The only Sri Lankan bank to be ranked among the Top 1000 banks of the world for seven years consecutively, Commercial Bank operates a network of 261 branches and 757 ATMs in Sri Lanka. The Bank has won more than 30 international and local awards in 2016 and 2017 and has over the years received multiple awards as Sri Lanka's Best Bank, Best Trade Bank, Strongest Bank and Most Respected Bank from a number of local and international institutions and publications.
Commercial Bank's overseas operations encompass Bangladesh, where the Bank operates 19 outlets, Myanmar, where it has a Representative Office in Yangon, the Maldives, where the Bank has a fully-fledged Tier I Bank with a majority stake and Italy, where the Bank operates its own money transfer service.

WHEC-TV
Revision as of 18:14, 19 May 2020 by Brianman4595 (talk | contribs)
WHEC-TV, virtual and VHF digital channel 10, is an NBC-affiliated television station licensed to Rochester, New York, United States. The station is owned by Saint Paul, Minnesota-based Hubbard Broadcasting. WHEC-TV's studios are located on East Avenue in Downtown Rochester, and its transmitter is located on Pinnacle Hill in Brighton, New York.

In March 1953, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) awarded the construction permit of Rochester's second VHF station to two local firms who competed for the open channel. In what was the first arrangement of its kind, the Gannett Company, then the Rochester-based publisher of the Democrat and Chronicle and the Times-Union and owners of CBS Radio Network affiliate WHEC (1460 AM); and the Veterans Broadcasting Company, owners of WVET radio (1280 AM, now WHTK), were granted shared operation of channel 10; the two separately-owned stations would use the same broadcast license and transmitter, but broadcast from separate studios.[2][3]
Both stations–Veterans-owned WVET-TV, based at the Central Trust Building; and Gannett-owned WHEC-TV, with studios at the Bank of Rochester building, both in downtown Rochester–commenced operations on November 1, 1953.[4][5] The combined channel 10 operation carried a primary affiliation with the CBS Television Network, and also carried ABC programs on a secondary basis.[6][7] The WHEC stations moved from the Bank of Rochester building to WHEC-TV's present location, on East Avenue, in May 1958.
On November 15, 1961, the split-channel, shared-time arrangement ended as Veterans sold its half of channel 10 to Gannett. Veterans subsequently acquired its own, fully owned station, WROC-TV (then on channel 5) from Transcontinent Broadcasting. The completion of the deal made WHEC-TV the sole occupant of the channel 10 frequency in Rochester.[8][9][10] The following year WHEC-TV became a full-time CBS affiliate, as the ABC affiliation moved to newly signed-on WOKR (channel 13, now WHAM-TV). In 1966, channel 10 was one of the founding members of the "Love Network" that aired the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon every Labor Day until 2012, when it moved from first-run syndication to ABC and was renamed the MDA Show of Strength, and ended in 2014 when MDA discontinued the event on May 1, 2015. WHEC-TV was the creator of the "cut-ins" that local stations insert into the national telethon, a concept that has since spread across the country.
Gannett split up its radio/TV holdings in 1971 when WHEC radio was sold to Sande Broadcasting, a locally based group (the station is now known as WHIC).[11] Channel 10 was allowed to retain the WHEC-TV call letters, and would remain as the Gannett Company's lone broadcast holding until 1979 when Gannett sold the station in the wake of its purchase of Combined Communications.[12][13] Gannett feared the FCC, who several years earlier decided to eliminate several small-market print/broadcast ownership combinations, would force it to sell either the television station or the newspaper. Gannett retained both the Democrat and Chronicle and the Times-Union, the latter of which was merged into the former in 1997. Gannett continues to publish the Democrat and Chronicle as of 2019, though the company relocated its headquarters from Rochester to the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. in 1985 (The Gannett Company would split up its radio/TV and press holdings again in 2015, when the radio/TV unit became part of a company named Tegna).
The new owners of channel 10 made U.S. television history: WHEC-TV became the first VHF, network-affiliated station to be purchased and wholly owned by an African-American group, led by investor Ragan Henry.[14] Despite the historical connotation, the Henry-led group's stewardship of WHEC-TV would be short-lived. In 1983, the Henry group traded channel 10 to the original Viacom in exchange for a pair of radio stations, WDIA in Memphis and KDIA (now KMKY) in Oakland.[15]
Under Viacom ownership, channel 10 took part in another trade—this one the first (and only) network affiliation switch in Rochester. On April 6, 1989, WHEC-TV announced that it would join the NBC network, replacing WROC-TV (now on channel 8) in the Peacock Network's roster. This move was the result of WROC-TV's poor performance and constant preemptions of NBC network programming (NBC was very intolerant of preemptions at this time).[16][17] The swap brought channel 10 in-line with sister stations WNYT in Albany and WVIT in New Britain, Connecticut, which had recently renewed their NBC relationships. In addition, NBC's strong primetime programming—NBC was the most-watched network at the time, while CBS was in a distant third near the midpoint of the Laurence Tisch era—was another major factor. The network switch became official on August 13, 1989.[18]
Viacom purchased Paramount Pictures in 1994, and merged its five-station group (WHEC-TV, WNYT, WVIT, KMOV in St. Louis, and KSLA in Shreveport, Louisiana) into the Paramount Stations Group.[19][20] Shortly thereafter, the merged company decided to divest itself of all of its major network affiliates to focus on stations that carried its then-upstart United Paramount Network (UPN).[21] In June 1996, Viacom/Paramount agreed to trade WHEC-TV and WNYT to Hubbard Broadcasting in return for UPN affiliate WTOG in St. Petersburg, Florida; WVIT wound up being purchased outright by NBC.[22][23]
WHEC-TV's digital signal on UHF channel 58 signed-on September 27, 2002 under a special temporary authority. For many years WHEC-TV was one of three Rochester area stations offered on cable in the Ottawa–Gatineau and Eastern Ontario regions. The Rochester area stations were replaced with Detroit stations when the microwave relay system that provided these signals was discontinued. WHEC-TV and other Rochester stations were available on cable in several communities along the north shore of Lake Ontario such as Belleville and Cobourg, Ontario. All Rochester affiliates with the exception of Fox affiliate WUHF (channel 31) were replaced with Buffalo stations in January 2009.
WHEC-TV presently broadcasts 27 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with five hours each weekday and one hour each on Saturdays and Sundays).
During Viacom ownership, WHEC-TV stayed steadily in second place in the Nielsen ratings between WHAM-TV and WROC-TV. This was also because ABC was in first place while NBC was a distant third in the viewership ratings during that period. On January 30, 2006, the station launched a 24-hour weather station known as "News 10 NBC WeatherPlus" on a new second digital subchannel and Time Warner Cable digital systems. After the national service shut down on December 1, 2008, WHEC-DT2 reverted to a local weather channel. WHEC-TV was the first station in Rochester to launch a weeknight newscast at 7 in 2008.
Even with ownership change to Hubbard, WHEC-TV remained a solid runner-up in Rochester for many years. However, during the November 2008 ratings period, WHEC-TV's weeknight broadcast at 11 fell to third place behind WHAM-TV and WROC-TV while the ratings for its other shows also plummeted (largely due to NBC's ratings struggles at the time). It fell to a distant second overall closer to third-place WROC-TV than it is to WHAM-TV. However, this station recovered during the May 2009 sweeps with the weeknight news at 11 virtually tying WHAM-TV and both are just ahead of WROC-TV in that time slot.
The three stations became competitive during the May 2009 ratings period each winning different contests. WHAM-TV still won total-day ratings with WHEC-TV's biggest strength at the time being its late-night newscast. Meanwhile, WROC-TV led in prime time. It has a fairly long-standing partnership with local news-talk outlet WYSL AM 1040. The radio station simulcasts all weekday newscasts from WHEC-TV except weeknights at 7. This arrangement is in exchange for advertisement time. In addition to the main studios, the station maintains a Finger Lakes Bureau in the Messenger-Post newsroom on Buffalo Street in Canandaigua.
During the ratings periods of 2011 (through July), WHEC-TV's newscasts remained in second place for most time slots. With WROC-TV's upgrade to high definition local newscasts on September 4, 2012 (with the newscast on WUHF included in the switch), WHEC-TV remains the only major station in Rochester which has not yet upgraded its newscasts to high definition or 16:9 widescreen. In December 2012, WHEC-TV introduced a new graphics package based upon the one currently used by NBC's owned and operated stations. On March 28, 2013, reporter Joangel Concepcion tweeted "Great news! News10NBC got the green light to go HD & widescreen!!" on her official Twitter account.[26] However, WHEC-TV has not formally announced any specific details about this. Since 2013, WHEC-TV has been broadcasting its newscasts in 16:9 widescreen, but not in full HD.
However, a steady decline in ratings began to turn around after the station parted ways with long-time meteorologist Kevin Williams and anchor Rebecca LeClair in 2017. WHEC took over the top spot in the ratings for viewers 25–54 years old (key demographics for advertisers) in the mornings and at 11 p.m. in November 2017.[27]
The WHEC news team won the New York Emmy Award for best newscast in April 2018 and the National Edward R. Murrow award for Best Newscast in June 2018. Both were first time achievements for any station in the Rochester market.

Christoph Bertschy (born 5 April 1994) is a Swiss professional ice hockey center currently playing for HC Fribourg-Gottéron of the National League (NL). He was drafted 158th overall by the Minnesota Wild in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career
Bertschy previously played professionally with SC Bern of Switzerland's National League A. On 26 April 2015, Bertschy was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Minnesota Wild.

With his development stalling within the Wild organization, on 8 February 2018, he was traded alongside Mario Lucia to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Viktor Lööv. He was immediately reassigned to continue with the Binghamton Devils of the AHL.

On 27 April 2018, as a pending restricted free agent with the Devils and unable to cement a role in the NHL, Bertschy opted to return to Switzerland by signing a four-year contract with Lausanne HC of the National League.

Andragogy is one part of the broader international field of adult education, human resource development, and lifelong learning.
Andragogy may be defined as a scientific discipline for study of the research, theory, processes, technology, practice, and anything else of value and benefit including learning, teaching, instructing, guiding, leading, and modeling/exemplifying a way of life that would help to facilitate and bring adults to their full degree of humaneness. Andragogy is one part of the broader international field of adult education, human resource development, and lifelong learning.
The EdD program at Lindenwood University was expanded to include an andragogy strand in response to a growing need for professional educational leaders in areas other than K-12 education to receive a doctoral degree of distinction serving the needs of adult learners and lifelong learning in areas such as higher education, police, fire fighting, business, military, corporate training, healthcare, religious organizations, executive leadership, communities, municipalities, social service agencies, and human resource development.
Courses in this program are offered face-to-face, online, and as a hybrid to meet the needs of working adults.


None of the currently available pulmonary artery (PA) catheters allows instantaneous and continuous measurement of pulmonary blood flow. At best, the so-called continuous cardiac output (CO) catheters (and associated software) indicate continuously an averaged value of CO measured over several minutes. A new catheter has been introduced recently, and animal experiments have shown that it allows instantaneous detection of changes in pulmonary blood flow. In this catheter, blood flow is derived from the power required to maintain a temperature gradient between two thermistors that are insulated differently. The technology also allows the clinician to measure CO using the standard thermodilution technique. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the clinical safety and efficacy of this new PA catheter.
After local research ethics committee approval and informed consent, 20 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting were enrolled in this study. The TruCCOMS PA catheter (Aortech International, Bellshill, Scotland) was floated after induction of anaesthesia, through a 9 Fr introducer. CO was measured continuously after arrival in the intensive care unit and for a period of up to 20 h. CO was also determined by using a standardized thermodilution technique at a minimum of 10 time points (as the average of up to six thermodilution curves), each separated by at least 1 h. Haemodynamics were recorded before each measurement of CO by thermodilution. Statistical analysis included Pearson correlation and a Bland-Altman analysis for assessing agreement between the two methods of clinical measurement .
A total of 174 paired results of continuous and thermodilution recordings of CO were obtained in 16 patients. The Pearson correlation was 0.63. Bland-Altman analysis showed a bias of 0.63 l/min and a precision of 0.95 l/min, with 95% limits of agreement from -1.15 to +2.67 l/min. This compares favourably with values obtained for other commercially available CO monitors.
No safety problems were associated with the use of the catheter, but the catheter could not be wedged in one patient. The radiograph taken as a control showed a kinked catheter in the PA, but no stiffness in the catheter was noted after withdrawal. One of the catheters was rejected after use owing to a thermistor defect. Of the remaining 18 patients, two showed a sudden change in the correlation between CO obtained continuously and that obtained by thermodilution. Closer inspection of the obtained data suggested that the heat transfer device of the catheter was located in a branch of the PA, rather than within the PA itself, and may have resulted from patients being moved or extubated.
The present study showed that this catheter is a safe and effective device for continuous real-time monitoring of CO in critically ill patients.
The present study was sponsored by Aortech International, Scotland.
