Icardi has clear ideas while Inter await PSG decision - the details
06 April at 12:00
The forced stop to the season leaves room for reflection on the future. Mauro Icardi knows that the next few weeks could be decisive for his, currently on loan at Paris Saint-Germain. However, despite the buy-out option and his successful start, something has broken down in the relationship,
After he was sent to the bench to become the backup for Edinson Cavani, the relationship with manager Thomas Tuchel took a major hit. In fact, Icardi and Wanda Nara are ready to say goodbye and return to Inter, to then decide their future.
The likes of Juventus and Real Madrid are interested in his services. However, of course, the final word isn't up to them as PSG still have the €70m buy-out option. Everything is in Leonardo's hands, as L'Equipe underlines today (via Calciomercato.com).
The French side are evaluating the deal and Icardi wants to return. In May, a decision will have to be made.

Tires are one of the key components to a safe and smooth ride in your vehicle. Virginia Tire & Auto recommends educating yourself on basic tire maintenance to ensure no trouble arises while traveling.
A possible issue a tire may have is a sidewall bubble. A sidewall bubble is a bulge protruding from the sidewall of the tire. Most bubbles are caused by impact damage, for instance, striking a curb or hitting a pothole. When a tire hits something with force and speed, it compresses the tire enough that the inside of the sidewall is pinched and damaged, causing a hole to open inside the tire liner.
Under inflation or over inflating a tire can also cause a bubble to surface. Occasionally, a tire can have defects while being manufactured but that is rare. It is important to note that the driver may not notice the impact.
If your tire develops a sidewall bubble, Virginia Tire & Auto highly recommends having it inspected and replaced as soon as possible because your safety could be at risk. While the pressure may hold for some time without the tire failing, continued driving, high speeds or other impacts – even going over a speed bump – will worsen the problem and eventually cause the tire to fail.
Unfortunately, if your tire develops a bubble, it is not repairable. A sidewall bubble is a sign of internal failure and continued use of the bubbled tire will lead to a gradual weakening of the over-strained cords, which causes a larger bulge and eventually causes it to fail.
If your tire has a bubble in its sidewall and you reside in the Northern Virginia area, then we highly recommend you schedule an appointment to have your tire replaced at one of our several locations. We carry all major brands of tires at competitive prices.

Meet EVA, the powerful pledge that could save millions of lives

Julián Ríos, a young Mexican, is the head of Higia Technologies, a company that creates a bra that detects breast cancer
Julián Ríos is a young Mexican, who at age 17 and as a high school student invented a garment that can help save millions of lives: EVA. His product is a bra whose function is to detect any change in the breasts to alert its carrier about possible anomalies, according to Forbes magazine. Now, the Rios company, Higia Technologies, has managed to become popular in Mexico and have a presence in Colombia, Spain, Japan, and even the United States.
Leer en español: Conoce a EVA, la poderosa prenda que podría salvar millones de vidas
How does EVA work?
The Very Interesting magazine explains that EVA, as the bra was named, has 200 biosensors that monitor the surface, considering the thermal conductivity, that is, the heat in each region of the breasts. Therefore, if there is a region that has a higher temperature, there is the possibility that there is more blood flow in it, indicating the presence of some anomaly.

But the technological development of the bra does not stop there. Higia Technologies developed algorithms considering each type of cancer and the state in which it is located, therefore in addition to the fact that EVA obtains the data it also evaluates them to give more detailed information. The company also says that using EVA to get a check once a week is better than a mammogram every year because it ensures that some tumors can develop in less than a year, so the bra would be a better option.
Forbes points out that the invention of Ríos, a student of the Technological Institute of Higher Studies Monterrey, has managed to integrate engineers, researchers, insurers and Mexican health services into his team, which will allow having a version with improved technology and having access to other markets. Although it does not have an official price, the first versions were around $ 120 dollars, hoping that in the future the price will be more accessible, according to Julián Ríos.
The incidence of breast cancer in Latin America
Although mammography was the most common way to explore and detect breast cancer, it has some economic and social problems that have prevented its coverage and effectiveness from being greater. According to information from World Life Expectancy, the incidence of breast cancer in Latin America is medium to low, with Venezuela, Cuba, Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia having the most cases, compared to Mexico and most of them of Central America marked with low incidence.

Julián Ríos became interested in the topic because his mother suffered the loss of her two breasts due to a misdiagnosis of cancer and with EVA she seeks to face the prejudices and fears generated by the exploration, self-exploration, and mammograms, as some women they continue to feel fear or embarrassment allowing the disease to progress.
At an economic level, the problem is the number of mammography devices considering the size of the population. For example, according to the newspaper Excelsior, in Mexico, only 20% of women had a mammogram in 2018. In the Colombian case, the data are better but not sufficient, according to the viewer only 62.5% of the women go to perform the mammograms, and 23% of those who do it must leave their department to do it, making it clear that there is not a sufficient number of devices for their population.

Chart: If you don't go to the dentist, your teeth will literally fall out of your head
updated Fri May 2, 2014
PHOTO: This is what's at stake. Don't blow it. (Flickr user Eric Schmuttenmaer, used under a Creative Commons license)
Good dental care is important. Studies have shown that tooth problems are significant factors in school absence. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 164 million work hours are lost each year to dental issues. Dental-related emergency department visits are on the rise in the United States, contributing to health-care cost increases.
But if you're shallow and vain, like me, there's a far more compelling reason to keep those twice-yearly dental appointments: if you don't, your teeth will literally fall out of your head.
On Thursday, Gallup released state-by-state numbers on frequency of dental visits in the United States. "For the third year in a row, Connecticut residents were the most likely [74.9%] to say they visited a dentist in the last 12 months," Gallup writes. "Just over half of the residents in Mississippi say the same, coming in last for dental care among the 50 states." If you're familiar with the general geography of health and well-being in the United States, the map isn't terribly surprising -- states in New England and the Northern Plains had the highest rates of recent dental visits, while the lowest rates were found in, you guessed it, the south.
But these numbers become terrifying when you correlate them with the percentage of seniors in a given state who are missing all -- yes, ALL -- of their teeth. States where people don't go to the dentist also have the highest rates of elderly toothlessness -- as high as 36 percent in West Virginia.
Naturally there are a lot of factors at play here, income and poverty being chief among them. And there's one major confounding factor that this chart doesn't show -- fluoridation. The CDC notes that the baby boom generation "will be the first where the majority will maintain their natural teeth over their entire lifetime, having benefited from water fluoridation and fluoride toothpastes." Mass fluoridation of municipal water supplies didn't happen until 1945, when Grand Rapids became the first city to do so. So the seniors in the chart above didn't receive the full benefit of it over their lifetimes.
Still, plenty of people lose their teeth even with fluoride. In 2002, the Department of Health and Human Services estimated that nearly a quarter of Americans in their 40s had fewer than 21 teeth (for reference a full set of teeth, with wisdom teeth removed, is 28). Water fluoridation is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for maintaining optimal oral health. Good brushing, flossing, and dental care are also required.
So the next time you think about skipping your dental cleaning think about the chart above: You don't want to end up at the wrong end of that trendline.

Q: How to use GETH to obtain the ABI corresponding to the contract address? Now the ABI code can be obtained through solc compilation or etherscan. Currently we have deployed ethereum full node, is there a way to directly obtain the corresponding ABI based on the contract address.

A: You cannot get the ABI JSON from just the compiled bytecode. You need the source code for that.

It's because of what the ABI JSON represents. It represents info on public and external functions, that you can use to calculate hash signatures of these functions.
But the compiled bytecode only contains these hash signatures. And you can't "unhash" them back to the original info objects.

The Prohibition of 1678 (29 & 30 Cha. 2 c. 1) was an Act of the Parliament of England. Its full title was "An Act for raising Money by a Poll and otherwise, to enable His Majesty to enter into an actual War against the French King, and for prohibiting several French Commodities".

The Whig MP William Harbord in a speech claimed that "the French abstract one million yearly from us in trade" and that while this went on the French would govern English counsels. The solution was to "make a law to prohibit French trade: you need no wine and few of his commodities; and France will grow poor, and we shall grow rich". Therefore, a Bill was introduced by another Whig MP William Sacheverell embodying these protectionist proposals. The beginning of the Act read:

And forasmuch as it hath beene by long Experience found that the Importing of French Wines Brandy Linnen Silke Salt and Paper and other Commodities of the Growth Product or Manufacture of the Territories and Dominions of the French King, hath much exhausted the Treasure of this Nation, lessened the Value of the Native Commodities and Manufactures thereof and caused great detriment to this Kingdome in generall Bee it further enacted by the Authoritie aforesaid That from and after the Twentyeth of March One thousand six hundred seaventy seaven Noe French Wine Vinegar Brandy Linnen Cloath Silks Salt. Paper or any Manufactures made of or mixed with Silke Threade Woole Haire Gold or Silver or Leather being of the Growth Product or Manufacture of any the Dominions or Territories of the French King shall dureing the terme of three yeares to be accounted from the said Twentyeth day of March or before the end of the first Session of Parlyament next after the expiration of the said Three yeares be brought in by Land or shall be imported in any Shipp or Shipps Vessell or Vessells [whatsoever] into any Port Heaven Creeke or other place [whatsoever] of the Kingdome of England Dominion of Wales or Towne of Berwicke upon Tweede or Isles of Jersey Guernsey Alderny Sarke or Isle of Man from any [Place or Port] whatever either mixt or unmixt with any Commodity of the Growth or Product of any other Nation Place or Country whatsoever.

In his Speech from the Throne opening the parliamentary session of 1679, King Charles II lamented "the loss I sustain by the prohibition of French Wines and Brandy, which turns only to my prejudice, and to the great advantage of the French".

In the opinion of the economic historian William Ashley, the Act was the "real starting-point in the history of Whig policy in the matter of trade". It was regarded by writers in the eighteenth century as a turning point in the economic history of England but by the nineteenth century had been forgotten.

The Act was intended to expire in three years' time but as Parliament was not sitting it remained on the statute book. Upon the accession of James II a new Parliament was elected that was strongly Tory and therefore the Act was repealed by the Importation Act 1685 (1 Ja. 2 c. 6). However the Whigs criticised its repeal, with one Whig writer lamenting that "an inundation of French commodities to the value of above four millions sterling, within the compass of less than three years, whereby all the evils formerly complained of were renewed, insomuch that the nation would have bee soon beggared, had it not been for the happy revolution in the year 1688, when all commerce with France was effectually barred" by the Trade with France Act 1688.

The Most Controversial Game Of Thrones Scenes Ever
Ariana Romero
As we enter the final episodes of TV-changing epic Game of Thrones, it's impossible not to look back at the Emmy-gobbling HBO drama's long history. That's why there is a horny 32-part sex scene bracket dedicated to the nudity-loving fantasy series as well as harried recollections of its most iconic, biting quotes.
However GoT hasn't been all hot sex and thoughtful turns of phrase over the last eight years. The genre-smashing show has also found itself embroiled in a multitude of controversies since premiering in April 2011. Some are painfully indelible, like the sexual assaults of Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey). Others have been swept under the rug in favor of shipping and romanticized YouTube videos.
Yet they all made Game Of Thrones exactly what it is today. Keep reading for a full refresher on the controversies that brought GoT to its eighth and final season, down to their respective episodes. And one surprising finding: Thrones season 5 was its most polarizing batch of episodes yet.
The Entire "Is Jon Snow Dead?" Saga
Episode(s): Season 5 finale "Mother's Mercy" into season 6's "Home"
As we head into season 8, it seems obvious Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen — heroes and Westeros' final true Targaryens — were always meant to figure out this whole winter apocalypse thing together. But, just a few years ago, GoT tried to trick fans into believing Jon was really dead after a Julias Caesar-style betrayal. Jon's portrayer, Kit Harington, had to give interviews swearing as much.
But, of course, Jon was resurrected by the time season 6's "Home" wrapped. Harington was driven to therapy over the deception and its feverish coverage, while fans were left insulted by nearly a full year of gaslighting. We all knew Jon would return — why lie about it?
Sansa Stark's Rape
Episode(s): Season 5's "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken"
There are a number of reasons Ramsay Bolton's (Iwan Rheon) rape of Sansa Stark is controversial. Thrones spent the first half of season 5 finally raising the eldest Stark daughter out of the victimhood that plagued her since day one. At last, she escaped King's Landing, was rid of her unstable aunt Lysa (Kate Dickie), slapped her bratty cousin Robin (Lino Facioli), and tricked the noble people of the Vale. Sansa Stark was poised to be a free woman and power player.
Then, she's married off to Ramsay and raped on her wedding night. The narrative choice was a cruel backslide made even worse by the directorial choices around Sansa's assault. Hypothetically, the scene could have been about Sansa realizing no matter how far she clawed her way out of sexist hardship, the men around her would be conspiring to break her.
Instead, Sansa's rape is built around Reek, Theon Grey's (Alfie Allen) traumatized persona, and his perspective of the attack. An attack, for the record, that does not happen to Sansa in the books Thrones is based off of, George R.R. Martin's Song Of Ice And Fire series. No wonder countless viewers quit GoT with "Unbroken."
Cersei Lannister's Sexual Assault
Episode(s): Season 4's "Breaker Of Chains"
Sansa Stark's rape came off especially tone deaf in 2015 because Thrones had already dealt with a controversial, non-canonical assault a year prior. In the ASOIAF book series, Cersei and Jaime Lannister have passionate sex next to the body of their murdered son Joffrey. It's creepy and complicated, but extremely consensual.
In the show, Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei kiss next to Joffrey's (Jack Gleeson) corpse until Cersei rebuffs her brother. "You're a hateful woman," he tells Cersei before grabbing her hair and throwing her on an altar. She begs him to stop, crying and saying "It's not right." All Jaime says in response is "I don't care" while forcing himself upon Cersei. It's a horror show that nullifies all the growth Jaime experiences during his just-finished journey through Westeros with Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie).
Yet, to this day, the Thrones team defends the scene.
The Entire Dorne Plot
Episode(s): Seasons 5 through 7
Westeros' kingdom of Dorne is a thriving state with a rich culture and the only people of color on the continent. In the ASOIAF series, it comes with its own sprawling cast of characters, some of whom are given protagonist-level point-of-view slots. In HBO's Thrones, however, Dorne is reduced to nipple-adorned armor, forgettable characters, and a bunch of interchangeably horny, bickering individuals. A true waste.
Shae's Murder
Episode(s): Season 4's "The Children"
In HBO's Thrones world, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) is a political genius and a hero. He's someone we're supposed to root for. Yet, in a fit of jealous rage, he brutally murders the woman he supposedly loves, sex worker Shae (Sibel Kekilli), for daring to betray him. It's a violent act no one ever reckons with — unlike Tyrion's murder of estranged father Tywin (Charles Dance) that same evening — that only furthers the dangerous stereotype that sex workers are expendable.
Daenerys Targaryen & Khal Drogo's Early Marriage
Episode(s): Season 1's "Winter Is Coming" and "The Kingsroad"
Dany Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) have one of the most beloved relationships in all of Game Of Thrones. By the time of Drogo's season 1 death, it is clear the arranged marriage has flourished into a powerful partnership of mutual admiration.
Yet, the couple's series premiere wedding and subsequent consummation is dripping with misogyny and sexual violence. Not only is the wedding introduced by Daenerys' creepy brother Viserys (Harry Lloyd) fondling her, but Drogo later rapes Dany as she sobs on a rock. Considering the inevitable romantic highs of Dany and Drogo, this is an origin story many try to whitewash.
Ed. Sheeran.
Episode(s): Season 7's "Dragonstone"
As a treat for star Maisie Williams, Thrones bosses David Benioff and D.B. Weiss found a cameo opportunity for her favorite singer, Ed Sheeran. The result was a strange singing interlude in the long awaited season 7 premiere, "Dragonstone." Considering just how seriously Thrones takes itself, and every moment of the series, fans rioted.
Stannis No Longer Being The Mannis
Episode(s): Season 5's "The Dance Of Dragons"
While Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane) never had the flowing locks of Jon Snow or the lightning fast wit of Tyrion, he was still a fan favorite. Then, he allowed his beloved young daughter Shireen (Kerry Ingram), the most gentle girl in all of Westeros, to be burned at the stake to better his own chances of attaining the Iron Throne.
Although Thrones once suggested the murder of an infant in season 2, the HBO series had never before shown such obvious, prolonged violence against a child. That is why no one wept over Stannis' execution in following episode "Mother's Mercy."
The Time Travel
Episode(s): Season 6's "The Door"
Game Of Thrones has dragons, ice zombies, and tiny magical tree people. Yet, time travel may have been a bit too sci-fi for the HBO fantasy series. Especially since "The Door's" time traveling, dimension bending climax causes the death of gentle giant Hodor (Kristian Nairn). Yes, the phrase "Hold the door," can make fans everywhere cry. But, does it really make sense?
One of Thrones' greatest controversies doesn't directly involve Thrones. Instead, its creators Weiss and Benioff found themselves in hot water starting in July 2017 over the announcement of their proposed GoT follow-up series, Confederate. The drama would take place in an alternate history, where the Confederacy won the Civil War (and, therefore, American slavery continued for hundreds of years).
Understandably, people were outraged at the prospect. You'll notice as Weiss and Benioff enter their 2019 Thrones victory lap that absolutely no one is talking about Confederate.

A: Here you're missing the fifth parameter, the cid:
 String sql = "UPDATE Computer SET cname=?, quantity=?, price=?,functions=? where cid=?";
    PreparedStatement preparedStatement = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
    // Parameters start with 1
    preparedStatement.setString(1, com.getCname());
    preparedStatement.setInt(2, com.getQuantity());
    preparedStatement.setDouble(3, com.getPrice());
    preparedStatement.setString(4, com.getFunc());

    preparedStatement.setString(5, com.getId());

    n = preparedStatement.executeUpdate();

Here is not clear what you want to do, are you always trying to update the computer with cid=0?
 Computer com = new Computer(0, cname, uquan, uprice, func);
 int i = dao.updateComputer(com);

You'll probably want to retrieve the cid from the request, like the other params
  String cid = request.getParameter("cid");

Q: CSS: Floating divs have 0 height I'm trying to place 2 divs side by side inside of another div, so that I can have 2 columns of text and the outer div drawing a border around both of them:
HTML

         ...

CSS
#outer{
    background-color:rgba(255,255,255,.5);
    width:800px;
}

#left{
    float:left;
}

#right{
    width:500px;
    float:right;
}

However, the outer div registers a height of 0px and so the border doesn't go around the other divs. How do I make the outer div recognize the heights of the things inside it?

A: There are a couple of solutions to this issue:
#outer: overflow: hidden;

or add some non-displaying content to the outer div that comes after the floated divs that you then add a clear: both style rule to.
You can also add, through css, the :after pseudo-element to insert content after those divs that you then apply clear: both to - this has the advantage of not requiring extra markup.
My preference is the first one.

A: You could clear the float by inserting an element after the floated elements that has a clear property applied to it because floated child elements cause the parent to have 0 height since they don't take the height of the floated children into consideration.

         ...

#outer{
    background-color:rgba(255,255,255,.5);
    width:800px;
}

#left{
    float:left;
}

#right{
    width:500px;
    float:right;
}
.clear{ clear: both; }

A: Try this:

         ...

A: add overflow: hidden; to the main div.

A: It's not because the floating divs doesn't have a height, it's because the floating divs don't affect the size of the parent element.
You can use the overflow style to make the parent element take the floating elements in consideration:
#outer { overflow: auto; }

A: You must also float the outer div.
Div's that contain floatet divs and that are not floated themselves collapse.
#outer{
    background-color:rgba(255,255,255,.5);
    width:800px;
    float:left;
}

#left{
    float:left;
    width:300px;
}

#right{
    width:500px;
    float:right;
}

A: How bout like this:

        ...

A: if div inside a parent is floated it is no longer part of parent div:check it by inspecting parent element.no to fix your  problem there are two methods:
1)make a empty div at end inside parent class it as .blank all following css
.blank:after{
        content: "";
        clear:both;
        display:block;
    }

Or
2) give parent a class .clear-fix and add css
.clearfix:after {
    content: "";
    clear: both;
    display: block;
}

it will give parent a height equal to contents

Name: Firmstep Accessibility Statement
Description: Firmstep Accessibility Statement
Home» Firmstep Accessibility Statement
Firmstep Accessibility Statement
Firmstep's products have been developed to meet the UK Government market standards. Forms can be compatible with AA or AAA accessibility guidelines. (This includes WAI guidelines). The precise level of compliance is dependent on the CSS and branding used to display a form and any javascript/code and HTML elements used locally.
Looking ahead to the European Directive which comes into force for all EU member states by September 23, 2018. All websites created after that date will have to be accessible by September 23, 2019, and existing websites will have to comply by September 23, 2020. All mobile applications will have to be accessible by June 23, 2021. The mandated elements of the directive are given at EN 301 549
Citizen facing products are being updated to ensure they meet all required elements of the accessibility directive that require implementation in the EN 301 549 mandate. Further information will be noted in the Release notes as changes are implemented.
Relative positioning of all on-screen items. This enables the text size to be adjusted by the client browser gracefully without clipping. This enables Form Fillers who require large text to see all of the form
The tab sequence is set to enable a logical flow from field to field. This assists Form Fillers who cannot use a pointing device to complete the form easily using only a keyboard
Alternative text is set on every image. This ensures that Form Fillers who are blind or partially sighted will be able to understand the meaning of an image and will be able to complete the form without seeing the image
No inline styles are used. This means that a style sheet applied by a Form Filler's software may be used to override the look of the form and display it in a style accessible to that individual. (eg: using a particular set of high-contrast colours)
Forms incorporate all these elements automatically - no special consideration is required as the form is constructed to build in accessibility features.
Forms are tested with current versions of IBM Home Page Reader 3.0 and JAWS 4 to assist blind and partially sighted users. When used in conjunction with JAWS, Forms will output to most popular refreshable Braille displays in computer or Grade 2 Braille.

Transnet's iron ore export terminal at Saldanha, South Africa, has undergone a series of phased expansions over the past few years. Phase 1A, which ramped up capacity from 29 to 41mtpa, was largely completed prior to Hatch's involvement in 2006. Hatch, as part of a joint venture, was appointed to manage Transnet's expansion programme of projects and carried out the finalisation of phase 1A, phase 1B: 47mtpa (2009) and phase 1C: 60mtpa (2011), as well as various phase 2 studies to investigate further expansion options.
The terminal's stockyard consists of four stacker reclaimers and related stockyard conveyors, designed for capacities of up to 10,000tph. Ore is reclaimed from stockpiles by the stacker reclaimers and transferred to the shiploaders via a number of conveyors and transfer chutes. The terminal handles 13 grades of iron ore with varying properties, some of which have high fines and clay content and are highly abrasive.
The majority of the existing terminal's materials handling equipment was outdated and replaced during the phase 1A expansion. However, various problems were experienced, with some of the new equipment during its initial operation. One such problem was the stockyard conveyor discharge chutes, which experienced regular blockages and spillage, resulting in excessive plant downtime.
As part of the phase 1C and phase 2 studies, alternative designs were developed. Two stockyard conveyor discharge chutes were subsequently upgraded to new ceramic lined dynamic or free flow chutes.

In the most recent edition of In-House Legal presented by Lex Mundi, I explore what In-House Counsel should know about Off-Shore Outsourcing of Document Reviews. Special guests on the broadcast included Cindy Courtney, with Day Pitney LLP (Lex Mundi member firm for New Jersey), and Kate Bertini, Assistant General Counsel with United Technologies Corporation in Hartford, Connecticut. We discussed the nuances of eDiscovery, factors to consider when deciding to use off-shore reviewers and helpful tips and safeguards for In-House Counsel. This is a fascinating topic about which I 've written previously. Outsourcing continues to strike fear in the hearts of outside counsel, even as In-House Counsel consider the use of LPOs and other offshore service providers to be standard procedure. As a Biglaw partner said to me recently, presumably operating under the belief that he alone was capable of identifying the potential risks: "You just can't trust the quality of these offshore providers." Contrast that with the opinions offered by In-House Counsel on the broadcast, in which the underlying motivations for perpetuating the Biglaw model are deemed to be revenue protection, lack of transparency and lack of process. Not surprisingly, outside counsel who embrace outsourcing and off-shoring as just another approach often find that quality is improved, costs are lower, efficiencies increase productivity... and clients are very happy.
There's no right or wrong answer on this topic, but law firms who fail to explore these options do a disservice to their clients. As the old television commercial goes, "Try it, you might like it."

This is my first ever wig and I'm absolutely in love!! I can't believe how natural it looks! I've spent years having extensions professionally applied to my hair and this looks just as good if not better due to the beautiful colours!
had my eye on this since it was first teased. the curls are gorgeous & the colour is rich. not too much shine either – & the fringe is very wispy making it look more realistic. gives off a very goth/vampy feel & looks fab with band t-shirts & chokers!

The Pan American Games are one of the world's largest international multi-sport events, held every four years for athletes of the 42 member nations of the Pan American Sport Organization. Infrastructure Ontario, on behalf of TO2015, the Government of Canada, the City of Toronto and the University of Toronto, selected the Aquatic Consortium of Toronto 2015, comprised of PCL Constructors Canada Inc., NORR Ltd., Counsilman – Hunsaker and TD Securities to design, build and finance the high-performance complex which houses the 2015 Pan American Games Aquatics Centre and Field House and the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario. Housed on the University of Toronto Scarborough campus, the aquatics center contains internationally sanctioned swimming and diving pools and is capable of hosting swimming, diving, water polo and synchronized swimming. The facility is also capable of hosting 6,000 spectators.
1,300 Square Meter (13,993 sq. ft.) Competition Pool
3 meters deep
Ten competitive lanes
Two movable bulkheads
Myrtha stainless steel pool wall system
547.5 Square Meter (5,892 sq. ft.) Dive Pool
Diving tower with 1-, 3-, 5-, 7½-, and 10-meter diving
Three 3-meter springboards
One 1-meter springboard
1,300 Square Meter (13,993 sq. ft.) Warm-Up Pool
Ten competitive lap lanes
2.5 meters deep
Two moveable floors
After the Games, the facility will serve the local community as a recreation center, as well as a hub for competitive sporting events and activities. The seating will be reduced to 2,300 permanent seats and 900 retractable seats on the pool deck. It will be jointly owned by the City of Toronto and the University of Toronto.
The Aquatics Centre and Field House received Gold level accreditation from the Canadian Green Building Council for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for its efforts in sustainable design. The pools posed challenges due their high utility consumption rates. Optimized energy performance was targeted through a number of measures like the harnessing of geothermal energy from the field under the north parking lot; using building envelope materials that combat high humidity and contribute to overall building envelope and energy performance; and using unique air handling units that prevent condensation and reduce the energy demand required to heat the pools.

Less than two weeks ago that Tweet of an IGP announced that three people have been arrested for insulting Islam after Haron's Din death.
One of them is ex-journalist, Sidek Kamiso.
Sidek was arrested at 4.30 AM at his house in Petaling Jaya without an arrest warrant. He was then taken to Johor Baru where the police request for remand was rejected..and he was free to go on bail.
Let us recap : The police came to his house in Petaling Jaya last week at 4.30 AM without an arrest warrant, seized his phone and laptop and then took him to Johor Baru where their request to remand him was denied.
298. Uttering words, etc., with deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of any person.
Whoever, with deliberate intention of wounding the religious feelings of any person, utters any word or makes any sound in the hearing of that person, or makes any gesture in the sight of that person, or places any object in the sight of that person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine, or with both.
I wonder what they would do to me if I should be within the grasp of this Tweet of an IGP who licks Najib's arse for a living for I have been known to not only call him a tweet but also have wrote worse things than that tweet that Sidek was alleged to have tweeted!
Sidek Kamiso and anybody else who tweets anything like the above tweet that Sidek Kamiso is alleged to have tweeted….will have the PDRM invade their house at 4.30 AM while they, their spouse and children are sleeping, have their phone and laptop seized and be taken hundred of miles from Petaling Jaya to Johor Baru presumbly to be held in custody in a police lock up……and all done without an arrest warrant!
Then upon being release on bail because a Magistrate did not allow the police to remand him any longer…that person will be arrested a few days later for wounding the religious feelings of another person.
Woi Najib, woi you tweet of an IGP…apa yang si Sidek ni buat to upset another Muslim? Ini bukan orang Cina or India yang hantar tweet ….ini orang Melayu! Orang Islam!
Sidek did not step on or kick the head of a cow to offend the sensibilities of a Hindu.
Sidek did not vandalize any Hindu Temple Idols.
Sidek did not go around asking the Cina to balek tongsan.
What he did was to tweet : Someone who made his career out of selling air jampi for any illness succumbed to his illlness in a modern hospital in San Francisco.#irony.
The # hashtag before the word "irony" tags the word automatically so that when people want to look for "irony" related topics, Sidek's post will come up.
And what is the irony of Haron Din's death?
It is simply this – a very religious Muslim man, from a very religiouis Islamic political party had to go to America (not a very Islamic country) to get medical treatment.
I do not expect that tweet of an IGP to understand what "irony " means….so I do not expect this Tweet of an IGP to undertsand what it is that I am trying to explain….but I am sure there must be some one in PDRM who does understand.
Can that some one please tweet to that tweet of an IGP and explain why Sidek's tweet is simply an innocous tweet that made an observation about the irony of Haron Din's death in a modern hospital in San Francisco in a not too Islamic country.
Itu aja…dia bukan nak "wound the religious feelings of any other Muslim"….aisehman Khalid, steady sikit lah. Jangan lah terburu buru mengikut apa aja suruhan by the owner of the arse that you are licking!
God help you when Najib is removed from office for you can be sure that the Rakyat and the incoming government certainly will not!

As called for in Common Core, students explore frequently-tested nonfiction writing forms and practice specific skills such as writing a strong topic sentence and organizing essay details.
Nonfiction writing is an important part of authentic lifelong learning and is therefore a crucial component of elementary curriculum. Evan-Moor's Nonfiction Writing series provides teachers with the instructional materials they need in order to support students' skill development in the above areas, as well as in daily activities to build and reinforce written language skills that generalize to any core curriculum.


"Children's crayon drawings, and the voice of a little girl telling what the pictures are about, create a charming study of life at Christmas time in Moose Factory, an old settlement, mainly of Indian families, on the shore of James Bay. Incidents big and small are illustrated and described with childish candor, conveying to the viewer a strong sense of being there."

3P Learning is a global leader in online education and they truly love learning. Their suite of learning resources is designed for schools and families, covering mathematics, spelling and literacy. They're a global team of passionate education and technology gurus based right around the world.
To align with an organisational rebrand, 3P Learning's workspace needed updating to support their new identity and culture – reinvigorating their brand and inspiring their people.
Transforming an occupied workspace that was perceived to be full, the design created breathing space and improved flow using intuitive layouts and intelligent use of colour. This injected vibrant newness to their existing space. By optimising the layout, additional informal meeting spaces and 'Skype pods' were included to improve the support of the team's business activities. A great mixture of posture choices allowing both comfortable sitting for lunch and informal standing areas for general chit-chat over coffee and ad hoc meetings.
Keeping the business fully functional whilst the refurbishment works were being carried out was key to the project's success, meaning the majority of the programme of works were carried out outside of normal working hours. The impact of the 'big reveal' was really important to the team at 3P Learning and so the works were scheduled so that the wow factor was revealed after the third and final weekend of works.
