Leather Seats. Power Brakes. Seatbelts. Tilt Wheel. Restoration Receipts SELLER REMARKS Over 300. 00 Chevy II Novas rolled off the assembly line in 1962. but not a single one was outfitted with a V8. However. hot rodders across the nation quickly changed that and started slamming small blocks in the Chevy II's to produce a lightweight challenger at the dragstrip. Two years later. Chevrolet decided to offer their first V8 powered Nova. This 1962 Chevy II Nova plays to hot rodders across the nation by packing a powerful 383 Stroker under the hood and complementing it with a super high end custom build. Let's take a closer look! The tidy Chevy II was a more traditional approach to the compact car wars of the time. it was a tad larger than the Corvair. but still smaller and lighter than an Impala or Bel Air. It's also quite a good looking car. restrained and smooth. with styling that echoes some of its big brothers in the GM line. This one is simply stunning. covered in a gorgeous shade of blue. The lines of the early nova were simple and give a clear Muscle Car feel to the overall look of the car. It's clear that the builder spent weeks blocking the bodywork to get it just about as straight as humanly possible. and it shows. The brightwork is in great shape. and all the emblems and trim look as if they are almost brand new. Whether you drive it to the street or strip. this Nova will not disappoint the onlookers. Simple interiors were typical of the early Chevy II's. but that's not now the case at all here. Pop open the doors and a custom tan leather interior will greet you. The two comfortable leather bucket seats are separated by a matching middle console that houses the controls for the 3-speed manual. In front of the driver is a chrome steering wheel that sits on a chrome steering column. Beyond the wheel. you'll find a custom dash that houses a slick Dakota Digital gauge cluster. On the floor the tan carpets are in great shape. and are protected by floor mats. Behind the driver. the car has been outfitted with a roll cage to protect driver and passenger. should you want to unleash the beast we will soon discuss. Overall. the interior is in excellent shape and accents the blue exterior extremely nicely. NOW. Pop open the hood and the custom theme continues as a beautiful. and beautiful sounding. 383 stroker V8 lies in the engine bay. Ready for show or go. the engine is absolutely stunning. Outfitted with a custom twin breather air filter. the engine already garners plenty of looks in our showroom. The motor which features a hydraulic roller cam. sends power to a 3-speed full manual valve bodied automatic transmission. It is also equipped with a transbrake to compete at the strip. From there power flows to the 9" Ford rear end. equipped with a 3. 89 Detroit locker. Spent gasses travel through a performance X-pipe and out Moroso mufflers equipped with manual dumps. Below the engine you'll notice right away that the chassis has been outfitted with a TCI front suspension setup and a Chris Alston rear suspension. Stopping power comes courtesy of 4-wheel disc brakes that sit in front of staggered 17" and 18" chrome rims nicely equipped with hidden valve stems. It's hard to find vehicles like this that are this streetable. yet so worthy in a stoplight drag. This shows as good as you can imagine as it appears no expense was spared. So trust us. a build this impressive won't last long under our showroom lights!

Not only do long sleeved dresses look elegant and magical, they also hide a number of arm peeves that we can all of us girls can relate to...(flabby bingo wings, bumpy skin or even dry elbows and not so great armpits!). This trend is so popular right now, especially for our winter weddings in South Africa. Have a look at some of our favourites.

Cherish The Ladies - JOY TO THE WORLD
By John DiNello
JOY TO THE WORLD - The opening lyrics to this famous and beloved Christmas carol could aptly describe the reaction to the music and virtuosity of Joanie Madden and her all female group- Cherish the Ladies.
Cherish The Ladies
On Thursday evening, this Irish-American band, which has been described as a "super group", took the stage at the Old Town School of Folk Music on Lincoln Avenue. Over the next two plus hours, Cherish the Ladies regaled an enthusiastic and appreciative audience with a medley of traditional Christmas carols as well as a number of original compositions. Many of the musical pieces performed were part of a Christmas compact disc called "A Star In the East."
The group derives its name from a traditional Irish jig called "Cherish the Ladies." Since its inception in 1985, Cherish the Ladies has become what many consider one of the busiest touring folk groups in the world. The band had its roots as a concert series in New York, thanks in large part to Mick Moloney. Mr. Moloney was a great advocate for the best and brightest female musicians in America. This particular music scene it would seem, was a largely male dominated affair.
The leader of Cherish the Ladies, the Bronx born Joanie Madden can best be described as a force of nature- irrepressible and totally passionate about her craft. The All-Ireland flute and whistle champion has an imposing stage presence, yet she is capable of being disarmingly charming, bonding with the audience in the same intimate way that perhaps a troubadour would have engaged his courtly audience during the Middle Ages. During the course of the performance, Joanie enthralled her audience with humorous and heartfelt stories of how the band's own compositions came to be. In their opening song, "A Dash For the Presents", a Cherish the Ladies original, the very personal theme was Christmas morning with the extended Madden family. Later in the performance, a moving piece entitled "American Wake" paid tribute to all the Irish who emigrated to America, never to set foot in Ireland again. All the while, Joanie charmed the audience with her casual banter while her bandmates dazzled with their own musical virtuosity. The current lineup along with Madden consists of: Mary Coogan on guitar, All-Ireland champion Mirella Murray on accordion, fiddler Grainne Murphy and Kathleen Boyle on piano.
In a past review, I have commented on The Old Town School Of Folk Music, Thursday evening's venue. Once again, I have to declare that this is a Chicago cultural and educational treasure. The location at 4544 N. Lincoln Avenue boasts a 450 seat theater complete with music store and café. In addition to offering over 700 classes on: music, dance and theater, its Wiggleworms Program introduces children to music. The Wiggleworms Program has locations in: Hyde Park, Evanston, Western Springs, Glencoe and Naperville.

IRON SAVIOR "Skycrest"
(c) 2020 AFM Records
Skycrest
Our Time Has Come
Hellbreaker
Welcome To The New World
Raise The Flag (Bonus Track)
End Of The Rainbow
Erase Your Pain
Piet Sielck--Lead Vocals, Guitars
Joachim "Piesel" Kustner--Guitars
Jan S. Echert--Bass
Patrick Klose--Drums
Ah, Iron Savior. If ever there was a guilty pleasure band for me, Iron Savior would have to be it, and I make no bones about that fact. If Iron Savior releases an album (and Skycrest is now album number 13, believe it or not!) I will be there to pick it up, no question. I simply love what mastermind Piet Sielck and his band bring to the table seemingly each and every time they put out new music. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, Skycrest continues in that vein as the German metal machine has unleashed yet another molten slab of power and speed.
Retaining the same line-up since 2017 (with all but Klose having been involved in the band at some point since 2000), Iron Savior has forged a musical chemistry that bleeds into each of these songs. Is there a formula to what the band does? Absolutely. Doesn't that lead to staleness or stagnation? Not at all. Nothing on Skycrest sounds like a rehashed version of a song from Kill Or Be Killed, Battering Ram, or the classic Condition Red. Sure, you know beyond the shadow of a doubt that this is Iron Savior that you are listening to, but that is largely a product of Sielck's unmistakable voice and the power anthems that the band delivers time and time again. Heavy, crunchy, edgy, and more often than not, fast as hell, Iron Savior's music simply delivers every time out, and Skycrest is no exception.
The album kicks off with "The Guardian", which is about as close to a musical slip-up as the band makes on this album. Why? Quite simply, I don't like intros, something that I have never hidden from anyone who reads this site with any regularity. Checking in at 77 seconds, "The Guardian" sounds a lot like something you might hear from Pretty Maids musically (and there is NOTHING wrong with that!), but it doesn't do much other than set the stage for the title track which comes blowing out of your speakers on a metallic mission! "Skycrest" is all galloping drums, chugging rhythm guitars, and Sielck's gravelly vocals that both soar and snarl at the same time! I love what Klose brings to the band with his cymbal-punishing drum attack, and the guitar trade-off between Sielck and Kustner is glorious to hear. And we are only on the first real track of the album!
"Our Time Has Come" has a definite throwback feel to the first few introductory chords, and I found myself in love with the track within about 15 seconds! Melodic yet still speedy and crunchy, "Our Time Has Come" is the type of song that fans of the band have come to expect, with "save the world" lyrics...motivational and cheesy all in one...and the blazing guitar solo that we all know is coming, set to a breakneck pace driven by machinegun drumming and a blistering bass line that likely leaves Echert's fingers smoking by the time the song has concluded!
The majority of the rest of the album is exactly what you have likely come to expect, and love, from Iron Savior. This is punchy, fast, sometimes lyrically-cheesy-yet-satisfying power metal that you either love or hate. Period. There really isn't much room for anything in between, as Iron Savior does what Iron Savior does better than just about anyone out there today. From the blazing guitars and thundering drums of metal anthem "Hellbreaker", to the snappy drums and screaming guitars of "There Can Be Only One", to the smoother-yet-still-heavy "Raise The Flag", a song literally about heavy metal, Iron Savior delivers straight-forward music for the metal crowd. This is metal: heavy, power metal, pure and simple. Not hard rock, not modern rock, not something "core"...just metal. This is not music that is designed to hit the radio, it is music that is designed to be played loud in the hardcore gyms and garages and dive bars and smaller concert venues where the blue collar metal fans can still be found. Big, soaring backing vocals beef up these metallic overtures, backing up the Udo-esque snarl of Sielck, and the blistering guitars...whether rhythm guitars or searing solos...are some of the best and most underrated in metal today.
But lest you think you have Iron Savior completely pegged, the band does throw a twist at you in the end. As the album comes to a close, bassist Jan Echert is given the chance to step up to the mic on the albums big ballad, "Ease Your Pain". While his is definitely a different voice than Sielck's, it still works perfectly within the confines of the album's closer, and shows that just when you think you have Iron Savior figured out, the band shows it still has a trick or two up its sleeve. A big, soaring ballad, "Ease Your Pain" concludes the Skycrest story well, and while not my favorite track on the record, it is delivered so well that I can't help but find myself smiling as I nod along to the rhythm. A nice acoustic guitar interlude follows the achingly soulful guitar solo, and Echert takes the song through one final chorus run before the record concludes.
Thirteen albums in (12 original studio records and one re-recording, 2017's Riding On Fire) the band shows no signs of slowing up, and Sielck seemingly has no end to the stories he has to tell from the Iron Savior universe! Destined to find its way into many metal fans' Top 20 of 2020, Skycrest is a definite winner and a worthy addition to the Iron Savior catalog. Hunt it down and snag your copy now so you can embrace the greatness!
Rating: Maybe a slight step back from Kill Or Be Killed, this newest effort is still highly crankable! Torque the knob up to 8!

Former JCS Chair Says Nuclear Launch Codes Went Missing For Months
Doug Mataconis · Friday, October 22, 2010 · 3 comments
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Hugh Shelton says in a new book that a crucial part of the system of checks used to order a nuclear launch went missing for months during the Clinton Administration:
A former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says in a new book that while Bill Clinton was in the White House, a key component of the president's nuclear launch protocol went missing.
"The codes were actually missing for months. This is a big deal," says General Hugh Shelton. "We dodged a silver bullet."
In his book "Without Hesitation," the retired Army general writes, "Even though movies may show the President wearing these codes around his neck, it's pretty standard that they are safeguarded by one of his aides, but that aide sticks with him like glue." He adds that President Clinton "assumed, I'm sure, that the aide had them like he was supposed to."
What apparently was missing was a card with code numbers on it that allows the president to access a briefcase — called the "football" and kept by an aide always near the president — containing instructions for launching a nuclear attack.
Once a month, Defense Department officials conduct an in-person verification to make sure the president has the right codes. At least twice in a row, Shelton writes, a White House aide told the Pentagon checker that the president was in a meeting but gave a verbal assurance that the codes were with him.
Then one month around the year 2000, according to Shelton, when the time came to replace the codes with a new set, "the president's aide said neither he nor the president had the codes — they had completely disappeared."
The codes are only one part of the system needed to order a launch so, even if someone had somehow gotten their hands on the codes they likely wouldn't have been able to do anything with them. On the other hand, without the codes, it would have been difficult for President Clinton to order a launch if he wanted to:
Shelton says the president was given new codes within minutes when the previous codes could not be found, and the procedures have since been changed, so that the Pentagon aide who carries out the monthly check is required to wait at the White House until he or she can visually confirm the codes are in the possession of the president or an aide who is with him.
I would hope they've been changed.

How odd that the Defense Department protocols would include regular in-person checkups, but that those checkups could be made without ever directly checking anything. If you're going to bother with an in-person checkup, then do it right. If you're just going to take someone's say-so, then just call them up and ask them.
Doug Mataconis says:
Obviously it would seem that some of those protocols lapsed after the Cold War ended
Timothy Watson says:
Robert Patterson in "Dereliction of Duty: Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America's National Security" (2004) mentioned the times he personally knew that President Clinton lost or misplaced his codes:

JABALPUR: BJP president Amit Shah on Monday gave a call to "uproot" the Congress from Madhya Pradesh in next month's state Assembly polls to generate a "tsunami", the ripple effects of which will be felt in West Bengal and other states currently not ruled by the saffron party.
Addressing party workers here in the state, which goes to the polls on November 28, Shah said winning over 200 of the 230 Assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh was not enough.
He said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had a strong hold over Madhya Pradesh, where it was in power since 2003, and if the Congress was hoping to rule the state, then the opposition party was just engaging in "daydreaming".
"Our target is not to cross just 200 seats, but to uproot the Congress from the state to generate a tsunami that will have its effects in states like West Bengal," Shah said, addressing the BJP's "Mera Booth Sabse Mazboot" convention.
Last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given the "Mera Booth Sabse Mazboot" (my polling booth the strongest) call to prepare the party cadre for the Assembly polls in five states to be held in November-December.
Referring to Congress president Rahul Gandhi's assertion earlier Monday that his party was coming to power in Madhya Pradesh, Shah said he should not indulge in "daydreaming".
"After 2014, when Modi became the prime minister of the country, the BJP has emerged victorious in 14 state elections, including in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Goa and Himachal Pradesh.
"Even after losing 14 elections, he (Gandhi) is dreaming of forming government in Madhya Pradesh," he said, adding, "The BJP's grip in Madhya Pradesh is like the feet of Angad (a mythological character in the Ramayana)."
According to the Hindu epic, nobody was able to lift the feet of Angad in the court of Ravana.
Referring to the BJP's progress since its formation in 1980, Shah said the party now had over 1,800 MLAs and 330 MPs, including those in the Rajya Sabha, and headed a government at the Centre that enjoyed full majority.
"But this is not the high point for the BJP. It will be in the apex position only when it wins Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Odisha, among other states," he added.
Shah said after the Modi government came to power, India carried out surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC) to give Pakistan a befitting reply for a terrorist attack on Indian jawans.
He criticised Gandhi for stating that the BJP was trading in the blood of soldiers by taking credit for the September, 2016 Army operation.
India was the only country in the world after the US and Israel to carry out surgical strikes, Shah said.
Talking about the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, he sought to know whether illegal immigrants should be deported from the country or not.
Because of the illegal immigrants, unemployment was rising in the country, the BJP chief said, while calling them "termites" who indulged in terror activities.
After the BJP formed governments in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, each and every illegal immigrant would be thrown out of the country, he said.
Attacking the Congress over the issue, Shah sought to know why the opposition party was protecting the illegal immigrants.

Rewind: Adventures in Babysitting
December 6, 2019 temporalparadoxLeave a comment
Yesterday's Movies began in December 2009. I'm marking ten years of … uh, zeitgeist hitting the fan, apparently, with a look back at the first movie I reviewed on a weekly update schedule.
Adventures in Babysitting.
Touchstone/Silver Screen Partners III 1987
I remember this movie positively, so I'm surprised how negative my review sounds. My topics still might not necessarily flow into each other, but I try to be coherent on at least the level of paragraphs. I'm pretty sure my original review is more jumbled than the movie seemed to me at the time.
While Thor is still a random character to be enamored with for the 80s, his film appearances in the last decade have certainly raised his relevancy now. In 2009, if I even knew that Marvel Studios was making a Thor movie, I was aghast and perplexed that someone thought he was a movie superhero. His first two solo movies didn't do much to change my mind, but as an ensemble player and in Ragnarok, I enjoy him a lot now.
Chris's boyfriend cancels on their anniversary dinner at the last minute, and Chris ends up agreeing to babysit Thor fan Sara and her older brother Brad, who has a freshman crush on Chris. When Chris's friend Brenda spends all her money running away to the bus station downtown, Chris takes her charges into the city, along with Brad's lecherous friend Daryl. A fast succession of misadventures soon causes them to be targeted by a murderous gang of car thieves.
It's a lot easier to complain about movies than to discuss what's good or analyze them. I still think Daryl's initial portrayal is way over the top, but that comes from a combination of him being a kid who doesn't know or care what's not okay in a time when they didn't know as well what wasn't okay. Everyone's characterizations as they're introduced are a little heavy-handed, it's just that Daryl's really hasn't aged well.
For a city as diverse as Chicago, it seems a little odd that the three different music venues visited are all into rhythm and blues. It's good music, and the Babysitting Blues is a highlight of a scene, but I think it reveals where someone's taste in music lay.
I think Sara's love of Thor might be meant to draw a parallel between comic book adventures and the gang's series of travails. Every time they get themselves out of trouble, they quickly land in a new kind of it. Also Thor may a bit of an odd choice, but he definitely is one of the easiest comic book superheroes to accidentally cosplay as, which leads to the most important Sara scene.
Looking back at what I was writing ten years ago, I think it's easy to see how much I've grown into this. I don't always feel like my writing makes sense, but I've developed a sensibility that I don't think would let something that disjointed get published now. A good movie deserves better than a pile of disconnected complaints.

YesterMovies Rewind: Family Plot
December 18, 2014 December 19, 2014 temporalparadoxLeave a comment
Family Plot. Universal Pictures 1976.
Five years ago this month, Yesterday's Movies officially began. To celebrate half a decade of movie reviews, I'm rewatching some of the highlights and giving them second-look reviews. This week, I'm giving the unfairly forgotten Family Plot another try.
In May of 2011, I was preparing to leave for an extended stay in another state, and I'd decided that my last review the night before leaving would be a family copy of Family Plot. However, shortly after I began watching the movie, I received word canceling the lodgings I thought I'd secured for my trip. I spent the next few hours frantically trying to make other arrangements, and while I managed to get a review posted, I probably hadn't had enough attention to give it. Therefore, I always wanted to find an opportunity to give it another attempt, since it's probably the film on this blog most deserving of a second look.
That story is pretty much all of what I remember about the movie. It's some kind of comedy about murder, but I think that much is stated on the box.

L.A. Story. Carolco Pictures, 1991.
Five years ago, on December 4, 2009, Yesterday's Movies officially began. To celebrate half a decade of movie reviews, I'm rewatching some of the highlights and giving them second-look reviews. I'm kicking it off with a look back at the best reviewing experience I had, L.A. Story.
As I recall, I'd heard the film spoken of glowingly, but never expected it to be much more than one more copy-paste romantic comedy. I didn't expect the amount of fun, warmth, and satire, and I certainly didn't expect the element of fantasy. At this point the main thing I remember about the plot is that Steve Martin falls in love with a woman he probably shouldn't. Also there's a cameo with Patrick Stewart.
I'm concerned that it won't be as good as I remember, simply because so much of my impression was born from the gulf between what I expected and what I actually saw.

Rugby Drops Close Match in Penn Mutual Quarterfinals
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Arkansas State University's hopes for a national championship were dashed Sunday morning with a narrow 12-0 loss to Lindenwood University in the quarterfinals of the 2017 Penn Mutual 7s Collegiate Rugby Championship.
"I'm happy with the season and the hard work the players put in this year," said second-year head coach Shaun Potgieter. "I'm excited for next year. We have a lot of talent coming in the fall."
A-State advanced to the quarterfinals after winning pool play Saturday. The Red Wolves defeated Notre Dame, 22-7, in the first match, followed with a 21-12 victory over Wisconsin in the second game. A-State and longtime foe Life University tied, 19-19, in the final game of the day's pool play.
Arkansas State was able to move on by leading in the point difference from pool play to face Lindenwood, a familiar opponent throughout the regular season.
Lindenwood struck first with a try and conversion. The first half ended with Arkansas State narrowly missing a try to tie the match, leaving Lindenwood ahead at the break. In the second half, the Red Wolves played strong on defense, despite having Nick Abreus out of play with a penalty. In the tenth minute, Arkansas State was able to hold off a Lindenwood try. Late in the second half, the Lions scored another try to give LU the win and a berth in the semifinals.
The University of California captured its sixth consecutive sevens CRC title by defeating Life University, 19-0 in the final.


The Department of Justice announced on Wednesday that the Southern District of Ohio will serve as one of 10 regional Elder Justice Task Forces. Those teams will bring together federal, state and local prosecutors, law enforcement, and agencies that provide services to the elderly, to coordinate and enhance efforts to pursue nursing homes that provide grossly substandard care to their residents.
The Elder Justice Task Forces will include representatives from the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, state Medicaid Fraud Control Units, state and local prosecutors' offices, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), state Adult Protective Services agencies, Long-Term Care Ombudsman programs and law enforcement.
The 10 Elder Justice Task Forces will be launched in the following Districts: Northern District of California, Northern District of Georgia, District of Kansas, Western District of Kentucky, Northern District of Iowa, District of Maryland, Southern District of Ohio, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Middle District of Tennessee and the Western District of Washington.
The Daily Times reached out to the Area Agency on Aging for comments and was referred to Beverley Laubert, State Long-Term Ombudsman – Chief, Elder Rights Division of the Ohio Department of Aging.
The Task Forces address the disconnect that sometimes occurs between reasonable expectations and actual services delivered.
The Elder Justice Task Forces reflect the Department's larger strategy and commitment to protecting our nation's seniors, spearheaded by the Department's Elder Justice Initiative. The Elder Justice Initiative coordinates and supports the Department's law enforcement efforts and policy activities on elder justice issues. It plays an integral role in the Department's investigative and enforcement efforts against nursing homes and other long-term care entities that deliver grossly substandard care to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. The Elder Justice Initiative will be providing litigation support and training to the Elder Justice Task Forces.

He also discusses the historical origins of the Sumerian mythic gods and heroes, which date from the rise of civilization in the Fertile Crescent region about 3380 B.C.
All of this Waddell reconstructed from Babylonian, Egyptian, Hittite, Indian and Gothic sources. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely rare and increasingly expensive.
Sacred Mountain Press has rescued this classic work in a modern edition, using the original text and artwork. A profusely authoritative and well-illustrated work, it also discusses the Phoenician theory on British origins, supported by an imposing array of evidence.
Thanks to the publisher, this work recovers many epoch-making cultural heroes—with their long-lost real names and authentic records of achievements and exploits—and shows they were truly historical kings of fixed dates, who have left us many of their actual contemporary inscribed monuments, along with full lists of their early kings and dynasties.
Includes sections on: Mesopotamia, the First Dynasty of Egypt, the Gothic invasion, the Kish Chronicle, the Nordic Eddas, the Isin Chronicles, the Great Gap, the Kassi Dynasty of Babylonia and more. Includes 35 black-and-white plates, 168 illustrations and five maps.
Lt. Col. Laurence Austine Waddell was a British explorer, professor of Tibetan history, professor of chemistry and pathology, Indian army surgeon, collector of Tibetan artifacts and amateur archeologist. Waddell also studied Sumerian and Sanskrit; he made various translations of seals and other inscriptions. His reputation as an Assyriologist gained little to no academic recognition at the time, and his politically incorrect books on the history of civilization have caused controversy. He is regarded by some today as having been a real-life precursor of the fictitious character, Indiana Jones.

Q: Is centrifugal force a conservative force? The centrifugal force depends on the position so it must be a conservative force whereas the Coriolis force depends on the velocity and it is a non-conservative force.
Is this conclusion correct?

A: The centrifugal acceleration of a point A located at $\mathbf{r}_A$ with linear velocity $\mathbf{v}_A$ riding on a body with rot. velocity $\boldsymbol{\omega}$ is
$$ \mathbf{a}_A = \boldsymbol{\omega} \times \mathbf{v}_A $$
If the center of rotation C is at $\mathbf{r}_C$ then the linear velocity is $\mathbf{v}_A = \boldsymbol{\omega} \times (\mathbf{r}_A-\mathbf{r}_C)$ which makes the centrifugal term
$$ \mathbf{a}_A = \boldsymbol{\omega} \times \left(  \boldsymbol{\omega} \times (\mathbf{r}_A-\mathbf{r}_C)\right)$$
A centrifugal force is only defined at the center of mass G, and it is not a vector field like centrifugal acceleration.
$$ \mathbf{F} = m\, \mathbf{a}_G = m \boldsymbol{\omega} \times \left(  \boldsymbol{\omega} \times (\mathbf{r}_G-\mathbf{r}_C)\right) $$
So your question is mute because this force does no work and hence cannot be classified as conservative or not.

EP 129: Jenna Callari, WKBW-TV
June 18, 2019By Patrick Moran
On this episode of the Moran-Alytics Podcast presented by Pulse Cellular, Patrick Moran interviews Jenna Callari, sports reporter and anchor at WKBW-TV Buffalo on her life and career to this point.
Callari was born and raised in Western New York (Cheektowaga) until she was 10 years old, when her family moved to Michigan. Callari recalls the anger she and her sister felt at the time towards her parents for leaving but ultimately considers the move the best thing that ever happened to her. She went to Michigan State for college and began pursuit of a sports broadcast journalism career.
The journey took her to Maine and Georgia before ultimately ending up back in Buffalo. Callari discusses her previous jobs and the process that culminated in her return to Western New York, including a reveal that she still doesn't remember applying for the WKBW job.
She also spends time talking about her WKBW colleagues Matt Bove and Joe Buscaglia, her brutally honest feelings about living in Western New York again, the "thank you" folder she keeps for hard times, her thoughts on women in sports media and feelings about social media before finishing with the traditional Mini-Lightning round, where we learn tons of fun facts about Jenna.
You can follow Jenna on Twitter at @JennaCallari and be sure to check out her work at WKBW-TV.
Immediately after the Callari interview Moran's joined by his buddy Tone Pucks (@TonePucks) for a "Pat with Pucks" segment. Today the guys are talking about the crazy NBA finals and big Anthony Davis trade before turning their attention to Ryan O'Reilly winning the Conn Smythe trophy for St. Louis, leading to a Mt. Rushmore of all-time terrible Buffalo sports decisions. Tone ends the segment with a take on Buffalo Sabres needing to refrain from knee jerk reactions to personnel moves coming soon.

I have used simple images that contain just the name of the particular day. Here is what the script produces on this day of the week using my images.
Below are the seven images that I used with the example of this script. You will probably want to create your own but you can use mine if you want. Whichever way you go you need to make sure that you save the images with the appropriate filenames that appear under the images to match with the days of the week on which they are to display.
All seven images must be the same size, in the same folder path, and of the same file type.
The only distinguishing thing about this particular image is that it has a specific id that identifies the image that is to be replaced with the specific day of the week images.
Now that you have the image, the next step is to copy the following script and attach it just before the </body> tag at the bottom of your page.
The final step in installing this script is to adjust the options in the last line of the script.
These first of these parameters identifies the path to the images. If the images are in the same folder as the web page then it should be empty - '' - if not it is the sub-folder where the images can be fount followed by a slash.
The second parameter is the type of the images being used - 'gif', 'jpg', or 'png'.
You can include multiple day of week images into the same web page by adding multiple copies of the same code into the page and using a different path and different id for each.


Did you know plantation shutters are the single, most popular window treatment in the Denton and Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex Area? We wouldn't call them a "trend" either.
From the logic behind their popularity to their low maintenance and secret benefit, here's everything you ever wanted to know about these fabulous shutters.
First, What are Plantation Shutters?
Why are Plantation Shutters so Popular in Denton, TX?
Plantation shutters are one of home decor's timeless classics. They not only add elegance to any room, but you can trust that in one, two, even five years, they'll still make your space look like a million bucks.
Why Should I Invest in Plantation Shutters?
We use the word "invest" because plantation shutters tend to give back more than you actually spend on them. Not only do you save on replacement costs years down the road (they're incredibly durable!), they also RAISE your home's value.
Plantation shutters are the ONLY window treatment that are considered a fixed part of the home… and therefore add to your property's overall value!
Curb Appeal. Cruise through any neighborhood in DFW, and you're likely to see plantation shutters gracing the front of homes… and even front-facing garages! It's easy to see why: they enhance nearly any home's curb appeal.
Easy to Clean. A quick dusting (for wood shutters) or a wipe-down with a damp cloth (for synthetic wood shutters) are all you need to keep them clean. Their low maintenance also makes them perfect for those hard-to-reach windows.
Child-Safe. Plantation shutters' lack of cords means you can rest easy knowing children or grandchildren will be safe and sound.
Privacy & Fresh Air. Wide slats allow you to angle the shutters for light and open your windows for fresh air, all while keeping your interior private.
Maximum Visibility. When fully open, the wide slats allow for maximum visibility of your beautiful outdoors.
Insulation Saves $$$. Whether your shutters are made from North American hardwoods or synthetic wood, superior insulation capabilities mean lower energy bills for heating and cooling.
Specialty-Shape Friendly. Have awkward-shaped windows? Plantation shutters are one of the few special window treatments that are up to the task of covering them.
Durability in Texas Seasons. Yes, I mentioned durability before, but synthetic wood plantation shutters stand up to more than the test of time — they also resist humidity, cracking, warping, and fading. In our humid state, that's important!
Where are the Best Places to Install Plantation Shutters?
How Do I Install Plantation Shutters?
Plantation shutters are tricky to install because they require a very snug fit between the shutters and the interior window frame. Instead of giving you a how-to here, we recommend talking to us before you attempt it yourself. They are simply too beautiful to install incorrectly!
Ready to fall in love with your own plantation shutters? Don't let online selections scare you. Let us bring the shutters to you to see what looks and feels best in your home.

Q: How see the unhandle exception In visual studio 2017 with xamarin every time I got an error I got into Break Mode without any information regarding the exception.

According to this question in a different forum you can get meaningful message about the error, but doesn't specify how:
https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/96478/using-visual-studio-2017-any-coding-error-results-in-the-application-is-in-break-mode

But I try same code in my system and only got break mode:  what I have to do?
I create a button in the MainActivity class, and the break pause happen when try access a list element in the empty list.
 public class MainActivity : Activity
    {
        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

            // Set our view from the "main" layout resource
            SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);

            Button button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.getWeatherButton);

            button.Click += async (sender, e) =>

                var x = new List<int>();
                var y = x[3];
            };
        }

A: The post literally states the contrary, you can't get any meaningful info.
The problem lies on the architecture of a Xamarin application, it is some kind of "wrapper" around native classes, so when an exception is caused in the native code no debug info exists.
The best you can do is, continue, let the program crash, go to the output pane and then read the exception, there you will find the stack trace and concrete data.


How many minutes does C take for game 1?
How many minutes does A take for game 4?
How many minutes does B take for game 2?
How many minutes does D take for game 5?
What is the total number of points scored by A?

Memphis Depay would be an ideal January signing for Arsenal
Ed Davison | 19 November 2022 | Arsenal, Arsenal News, Arsenal Opinion | 1 Comment
Arsenal are likely to spend during the January transfer window as they look to add more quality and depth to challenge for the Premier League title.
A new midfielder should be one of the top priorities with the worrying injury record of Thomas Partey, but the club may also want another wide player.
For the past few months, there has been much talk about Shakhtar Donetsk's Mykhaylo Mudryk, but we simply don't see the Gunners signing him in January.
Mudryk has talked up a move to the north London club, but a mid-season deal appears unlikely with Shakhtar having set a staggering €100 million (£87m) price tag.
Hence, the Gunners may have to look elsewhere and in our opinion, the club should attempt to land Depay in a cut-price deal from Barcelona this winter.
The 28-year-old has been injury-prone this season and he has played just 130 minutes. However, the Dutchman has been ruled fit ahead of the World Cup.
The Spanish giants are willing to sell him for just €5m (£4.35m) with his contract expiring next summer and he could be a bargain signing for the Gunners.
Depay, who is currently on £175,000-a-week at Barcelona, can play on both the left wing and centre-forward positions. His versatility would suit Arsenal.
An 18-month contract would not do the Gunners any harm. Depay has registered a goal or an assist in every 164 minutes since joining Barcelona last season.
Arsenal currently have a handy five-point cushion over Manchester City at the top of the standings, but they face a tough road ahead with another 24 games left.
Injuries could derail their unlikely title charge and they need more quality in their ranks to deal with setbacks.
Bringing Depay for a knockdown fee would allow the Gunners to use the additional funds on pursuing a marquee holding midfielder which is an absolute necessity.
Arsenal's top-four bid was hampered last term after Partey's injury. They can ill-afford to make the same mistake by refusing to spend in the winter period.

Best wishes for a healthy and happy 2010. This first post of the new year is actually a reprint of a review I had published in the Illinois Entertainer earlier this year.
A duo comprised of vocalist D.A. Wallach and multi-instrumentalist Max Drummey, Chester French revels in doing the unexpected on Love The Future. A somber opening track sung in Spanish serves as an ironic introduction to the fun that follows on this ambitious debut. Catchy indie rock songs stop and start again, sometimes drifting into lilting classic music or something out of a 1930s Hollywood musical.

Category Archives: 50th Ward Regular Democratic Organization
Ira Silverstein Running for Judge
Posted on September 7, 2019 by 50th Ward Follies
Ira Silverstein is running for Cook County Circuit Court judge. He registered his candidate committee with the State of Illinois Board of Elections on August 31. Its office is located at 9150 Crawford in Skokie. No donations have been reported so far.
Interestingly, the committee that supported him for 50th Ward committeeman is no longer active, although the committee supporting his candidacy for state senate is. You'll recall that Ira was defeated by Ram Villivalam, who is about to become Democrat committeeman for the 39th Ward.
I won't be surprised if Ira is slated to run, and I won't be surprised if he isn't. Points in his favor include being currently a ward committeeman, formerly a senator as well as a member of the state senate leadership team, and being married to an alderman. These are the things that matter in Chicago.
He lost his positions as deputy majority leader and senator after a sexual harassment scandal involving a woman who was trying to gain his support for a bill. After an official investigation, his conduct was deemed inappropriate although not rising to the level of harassment. If you've read any of the transcripts that surfaced during the scandal, you already know that Ira is not a practiced seducer, his behavior more like that of a high-school Lothario than a man experienced in roantic affairs.
However, he represented the woman's family in a lawsuit for which he was paid several thousand dollars while she was attempting to gain his support for her bill, further calling his ethics into question.
He also took part in the sham of choosing a successor to state representative Lou Lang. Using a sneaky but legal maneuver, Lang resigned after being re-elected. He then staged a phony search for his replacement. Under the law, the public was shut out of the process and only three ward committeemen were permitted to choose Lang's eventual successor, rabbi and former lobbyist Yehiel "Mark" Kalish. Pat O'Connor, then committeeman of the 40th Ward, gave his proxy to Silverstein and Lang, who put Kalish in office.
Silverstein has little to show for his 18 years as senator and 10 years as committeeman except for the election of his wife as alderman, hardly an accomplishment. Both have proven to be lazy, disinterested public servants whose sole goal is to feed off the taxpayers, earning fat pensions while doing as little work s possible.
In all his years in power, Ira has never held a voter registration drive. Yet getting out the vote is the primary function of the ward committeeman.
None of this will probably matter to the slating committee.
But Ira's run for a judgeship could explain why Debra's been publicly cozying up to Lori Lightfoot, who can provide behind-the-scenes help, like influence, money, and campaign workers.
It's always politics as usual in Chicago.

A Very Crowded "Suite B"
Posted on February 25, 2019 by 50th Ward Follies
City law forbids the use of City-funded offices for political work, including the solicitation, receipt, or processing of campaign contributions. City employees are not permitted to perform work for political campaigns on paid City time.
Unless the candidate is Debra Silverstein.
Today Silverstein posted on Facebook a photo of her campaign staff busy at work in the campaign office, otherwise known as the conference room of her aldermanic office, which for campaign purposes is known as Suite B.
Silverstein's aldermanic office at 2949 West Devon Avenue also houses the 50th Ward Regular Democratic Organization, a fundraising organization that supports the political work of the 50th Ward Machine.
Silverstein's aldermanic office at 2949 West Devon Avenue is also the mailing address of Friends for Debra Silverstein, her year-round fundraising organization, which solicits, accepts, and processes money.
Silverstein's aldermanic office at 2949 West Devon Avenue is also, according to the Illinois Secretary of State, the corporate headquarters of Jamestown Realty, whose owner is Demetrios Spyrakos. To my knowledge, Silverstein's office is the only aldermanic office in the City that serves as corporate headquarters for a private business.
Records available online from the Assessor's Office do not list Debra's office in a property address search; do a PIN search (13-01-104-004-0000) for the property record and note that the buildingg housing Silverstein's aldermanic office is tax-exempt.
Then check that PIN number with the Recorder of Deeds, and discover that the Recorder shows the building is owned by FREE (Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe), which is why it's tax exempt. Yes, that's correct, an income-producing storefront rental is tax exempt.
The lease signed by Debra Silverstein and paid for by the taxpayers is an agreement between Silverstein as alderman and Demetrios Spyrakos.
The taxpayers of Chicago paid monthly rent to Demetrios Spyrakos, not Jamestown Realty, for the City-leased alderman's office.
The 50th Ward Regular Democratic Organization paid rent irregularly–three to four times per year–to Jamestown Realty, not Demetrios Spyrakos, for its use of space within the City-leased alderman's office.
Silverstein's campaign committee in 2014-15 did not pay any rent to the City for its use of space within the City-leased alderman's office.
Silverstein's campaign committee in 2018-19 has not paid any rent to the City for its use of space within the City-leased alderman's office.
It is not known whether Jamestown Realty paid the City for its use of space within the alderman's office.
Internet sources state that Jamestown Realty has three employees and its own phone number, all located within the alderman's office. It's to be expected that Mail is delivered and phones are answered. But where are the Jamestown employees? The only staff inside the alderman's office are City employees. If Jamestown Realty employees work at the Jamestown Realty Corporate Offices within the alderman's office, where do they sit? Where are their phones? Where is their equipment? Surely City employees on City time are not handling Jamestown Realty mail or answering Jamestown Realty phones? Interestingly, when the alderman's office is closed in observance of a holiday, or the alderman gives her staff other paid time off–as she did at Christmas–the corporate offices of Jamestown Realty are also closed.
Where are the staff for the 50th Ward Regular Democratic Organization? Who answers the phones? Who processes the mail and the donations? Do they share Suite B with the re-election campaign staff?
And what about Debra's re-election campaign office and staff? They are supposedly located in Suite B. But there's a recent picture of Debra hosting a paper-plate pizza lunch for public school principals in the conference room. Where did the campaign staffers go during this event? Were theyworking in another part of the City-leased aldermanic office? In the photo Silverstein posted on Facebook, they are clearly sitting around her conference table–isn't that City-owned property? This isn't nitpicking. These are supposed to be totally separate operations. By law.
Look at the Facebook picture again. Where did all those boxes of literature and posters go while the principals ate pizza? Where does the campaign staff hold meetings and interact with volunteers? We know campaign staff come in on weekends because they send emails like the one about the library's opening date. Have you noticed how often the Facebook and Twitter links on ward announcements go to Debra's re-election sites? This isn't coincidence. The line between aldermanic business and re-election campaigning has blurred to the point of nonexistence.
Ira's a lawyer, familiar with election law. Deborah is a CPA, familiar with election law So what's going on here?
Why is the 50th Ward Regular Democratic Organization housed within the taxpayer-funded aldermanic office?
Why is Debra Silverstein's re-election campaign situated within her taxpayer-funded aldermanic office?
Why are the Friends of Deborah Silverstein soliciting and receiving campaign contributions year round from within her City-funded aldermanic office?
Why is Jamestown Realty's official corporate headquarters located within the City-leased alderman's office?
Something's rotten, and it ain't in Denmark.
Independent Researcher Anne Sullivan shared her own work on this topic with Follies. I am grateful for her diligence and generosity.

N.D. governor signs law granting student journalists enhanced free-speech protections
April 10, 2015 September 5, 2018 Katherine Schaeffer
NORTH DAKOTA — North Dakota governor Jack Dalrymple signed into law Thursday rules to further protect the free-speech rights of high school and college journalists.
The law, which passed unanimously in both state Senate and House, received support because legislators understand their state "needs to take a stand for freedom of speech," said Rep. Alex Looysen, who introduced the bill.
The new rules will prevent North Dakota's public high schools and colleges from invoking the Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier U.S. Supreme Court decision, which allows administrators to censor student publications not categorized as public forums.
Instead, schools will be required to follow the Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District Supreme Court ruling, which prohibits administrators from limiting student speech unless it poses a substantial disruption to the operation of the school.
"The stars were aligned" to allow for the bill's success, said Steve Listopad, an assistant professor and student media director at Valley City State University who has been a supporter of the bill. Also known as the John Wall New Voices Act, the legislation was named to honor a longtime journalism teacher and legislator who passed away last summer.
The bill gained momentum with support from Wall's family and the North Dakota Council of Educational Leaders, Listopad said. It also gained traction as lawmakers began to view it as a practical application of the state's high school civics test, a new standardized test students must pass to graduate, Listopad said.
Now, Looysen said representatives are considering legislation to address the free-speech rights of student journalists at private institutions — a proposal that was scrapped in the bill's infancy.
North Dakota is the eighth state to pass legislation reinforcing students' right to free speech, following Arkansas, California, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts and Oregon.
North Dakota's legislation, modeled after California's, is "one of the more comprehensive" laws, Looysen said. The law is only the third in the country, joining California and Kansas, that expressly protects teachers against retaliation for what their students publish.
Listopad said he hopes to "keep the conversation going," and encourage other states to follow suit and to open the discussion on a federal level.

It is hard to overlook the house sparrow when they are the number one adversary of the bluebird and purple martin. Bird lovers who try and entice the jaybird into their yards are often disappointed by the nuisance House Sparrow. The house sparrow has been observed threatening and attacking over 70 species that come within their nesting territory. If you are interested in experiencing the... Purple Martin colony projects, some with hundreds of nesting pairs, have dramatically increased martin numbers from the days when it nested in single pairs or small groups.
Purple martin housing: If you really don�t want to attract starlings, it�s best to either take down your purple martin house or cover the openings between nesting seasons. Don�t put the house back up or uncover the openings until you see that the martins, who are native cavity nesters, arrive in your area for the nesting season. Otherwise, starlings (who stay around all year) will occupy... The Purple Martin, North America's largest swallow, is a swift and skilled flyer: The birds eat, drink, and even bathe on the wing. The species is part of a group of birds known as aerial insectivores�birds that feed on airborne insects�which includes swifts, swallows, the Chuck-will's-widow, and the Olive-sided Flycatcher, to name a few.
So if you were planning to set up a martin house to get rid of mosquitoes, drop the idea totally! Living Habits of Purple Martins Individual houses or a single big structure with divided compartments is preferred by these birds.... Once they get caught inside, take the traps somewhere far away from your house and release the birds there. They will hopefully find another location where they can rest. They will hopefully find another location where they can rest.
5/11/2018�� In the case of nestboxes, house wrens can quickly drive out other birds, including songbirds such as the bluebird. Because they are protected under the Migratory Bird Act, it is illegal to hunt or trap house wrens or destroy an active nest. However, there are steps that you take to prevent house wrens from taking over your nestboxes and diminishing the variety of birds in your area.


Huskies have specific dietary requirements, which means feeding your Husky calls for a specific formula.
For younger Huskies, there is Nulo Freestyle Limited Plus, a grain-free dry formula intended for puppies and small breeds. Those searching for a formula for grown Huskies should give careful consideration to Adult Health Anchovy and Sardine and Salmon Meals from Holistic Select.
We'll be examining both recipes, along with a number of alternatives, in this look at the best dog/puppy food for Huskies.
When searching for the best dog/puppy food for Huskies, you should avoid going with the generic dog food formulas available in grocery stores as such recipes generally fail to provide the nutrients needed for a juvenile Husky to develop and a grown Husky to maintain its muscle mass. In the below buyer's guide we'll be detailing some of the things to keep in mind when shopping for a reliable formula for your husky.
As sled dogs, Huskies are a particularly active breed, so it's imperative that you feed your Husky a formula with a high calorie count. The average adult Husky can put away a staggering 10,000 calories in a single day, far in excess of the 1,500 calories most other dogs consume on a daily basis. Of course, that doesn't mean that you should be feeding your Husky 10,000 calories daily. Experts recommend adult Huskies consume somewhere between 2,000 and 7,000 calories per day, spread out across three meals to combat bloat.
Visual impairments, such as cataracts, are often reported in older Huskies, which is why you should be sure to go with a formula that is high in omega 3 fatty acids, which preserve eyesight in dogs. Omega 3 fatty acids are also beneficial as they fight inflammation and will keep your Husky's coat shining bright. The benefits of omega 3 fatty acids in dog food are explored in greater detail in the video below.
Husky pups, just like juveniles of any breed, require a smaller kibble than their adult counterparts. Feed a Husky puppy a formula intended for full-grown Huskies and they will likely have trouble chewing and swallowing. Feeding an adult Husky a puppy formula is similarly ill-advised as the size of the kibble (or lack thereof) will prevent the dog's jaws from developing.
Nulo Freestyle Limited Plus is unique in that it is intended for both puppies and adults, so you could conceivably feed your Husky on this formula its entire life. As its name suggests, this formula uses a limited number of ingredients, which drastically reduces the risk of your Husky's digestive system being thrown off by food sensitivities. Its single animal-based protein source is complimented by a patented probiotic, which boasts the distinction of being the first of its kind to survive the cooking process.
Nulo Freestyle Limited Plus contains no chicken, corn, soy, peas or eggs, and so is extremely unlikely to aggravate allergies. It is available in three different sizes and an equal number of flavors and has the added advantage of being manufactured in the United States.
Because of its unique formula, Nulo Freestyle Limited Plus goes for quite a bit higher than many other Husky foods on the market. A single 22-pound bag of Nulo Freestyle Limited Plus will set you back upwards of $70, which may render it a complete impossibility if you are trying to feed your four-legged friend on a budget.
Holistic Select favors the natural route when it comes to the manufacturing of its dog food, which is why the brand's Adult Health Anchovy and Sardine and Salmon Meals formula comes devoid of all artificial flavors and colors. It is similarly free of wheat and animal by-products, deriving its protein from real anchovies, sardines, and salmon.
The presence of digestive enzymes in this formula helps to break down protein, starch, and cellulose. Meanwhile, natural fiber combats bloating and constipation, ensuring your dog remains regular. Omega-3 fatty acids derived from flaxseed and fish oil add a shine to your dog's coat while enhancing and preserving its eyesight.
Much like Nulo Freestyle Limited Plus, Holistic Select Adult Health Anchovy and Sardine and Salmon Meals is manufactured in America, which means health and safety standards are more strictly adhered to than they are in Asian countries, where many subpar dog foods are produced.
Furthering the similarities between this offering from Holistic Select and Nulo Freestyle Limited Plus is the high price tag of this formula. While it will not cost you as much as its previously examined alternative, Holistic Select Adult Health Anchovy and Sardine and Salmon Meals will cost you in or around $60 for a 30-pound bag. It should also be noted that many Husky owners who have tried this formula have reported it giving off an unpleasant odor, so you may want to avoid leaving it out for long periods of time.
Blue Buffalo Basics Limited Duck & Potato uses a limited recipe from which it takes its name. Blue Buffalo Basics Limited Duck & Potato boasts single-source animal protein, which it derives from real pieces of deboned duck. Blue Buffalo avoided using chicken in the manufacturing of this food, as it did corn, wheat, soy, dairy, and beef, which means the chances of digestive troubles are slim to none. This formula also features zero artificial flavors and colors.
What it does feature are Blue Buffalo's unique "Lifesource Bits," a blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals designed to improve your dog's immune system. Meanwhile, a healthy balance of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids serve to keep your Husky's skin and coat in pristine condition.
A high price tag is a common feature of many Husky foods and Blue Buffalo Basics Limited Duck & Potato is no different. Owners who choose to feed their Huskies this formula should be prepared to drop close to $60 – maybe even a little more – for a 22-pound bag. Although potato certainly has some benefit to dogs, it is generally best avoided as carbohydrates, in extreme cases, can cause diabetes, obesity, arthritis, and even cancer in dogs.
If you're searching for a formula that was intended for puppies alone, you're going to want to pay careful attention to this offering from the good folks over at Merrick. Merrick Puppy Real Chicken and Sweet Potato takes its name from the real deboned chicken which serves as its primary ingredient. This chicken is complemented by the presence of chicken meal, which further increases this formula's protein content. This is a grain-free formula and so can be easily digested by small and large breed puppies alike. To aid your puppy's cognitive development, Merrick Puppy Real Chicken and Sweet Potato comes loaded with DHA, an omega 3 fatty acid which also improves the development and performance of the eyes.
Much like Buffalo Basics Limited Duck & Potato, Merrick Puppy Real Chicken and Sweet Potato is high in carbohydrates, which puts it at a significant disadvantage. We hate to sound like a broken record here, but those who feel Merrick Puppy Real Chicken and Sweet Potato is the right formula for their puppy will have to resign themselves to dropping some serious cash.
A 25-pound bag of this formula will set you back upwards of $70. It is also important to remember that chicken can aggravate allergies in some dogs, which is particularly problematic with puppies as those allergies are more likely to be undiagnosed.
Providing a change to the previous two formulas comes this offering from Weruva. Weruva Caloric Harmony Chicken Dinner with Pumpkin features no potato, reducing the risk of diabetes, obesity, and other health issues linked to carbohydrates. The cage-free chicken which acts as the primary source of protein in this recipe is free of all genetically modified materials, as are all other ingredients present in this formula.
Similarly, this recipe is free of soy, wheat and corn. The pumpkin which makes up the latter half of the product's name serves to improve digestion and combat bloat. Like all Weruva formulas, Caloric Harmony Chicken Dinner with Pumpkin features salmon oil and linoleic acid to keep your Husky's coat thick and shining.
As is made obvious by its name, Weruva Caloric Harmony Chicken Dinner with Pumpkin features chicken as its primary ingredient. While chicken is certainly a great source of protein, it may upset your Husky's stomach, which is why you should keep a close eye on your dog in the days and weeks after switching to this formula. Similarly, the presence of eggs in this recipe may aggravate allergies in your dog.
For those hoping to keep spending to a minimum when shopping for the best dog/puppy food for Huskies, there is Wellness Core Puppy Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, and Turkey Meal. Although it isn't exactly inexpensive, this formula is more than affordable when compared to most other recipes featured in this article, with a 26-pound bag available for just over $50.
As well as boasting a grain-free recipe, Wellness Core Puppy Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, and Turkey Meal contains no wheat, soy, or meat by-products. It is also free of artificial flavors and colors. Designed specifically for puppies, this formula is rich in DHA for brain development and is similarly high in omega fatty acids to ensure your Husky's coat comes in full and glowing.
Many dog owners who have purchased this formula have reported the kibble being a little on the large size. While this won't be a problem if your puppy is nearing adulthood, it may be cause for concern if you're raising a particularly young puppy. While we're not going to tell you to avoid this formula because of the size of the kibble, we do suggest that you keep an eye on your puppy during the first couple of feeding sessions if you choose it.
During the first few months of your Husky's life, you need to be very careful about what you feed them in order to avoid aggravating any allergies which are yet to be diagnosed. For that reason, we often suggest owners of Husky pups go with Nulo Freestyle Limited Plus, which prides itself on its limited recipe and single-source animal protein.
Despite its simplicity, this formula has the distinction of containing the first ever probiotic to survive the cooking process, so those who choose Nulo Freestyle Limited Plus can be certain they are feeding their dog a formula designed by an undeniable expert.
If you're filling the bowl of an older dog, we recommend going with Holistic Select Adult Health Anchovy and Sardine and Salmon Meals. Absolutely bursting with omega fatty acids, this formula is virtually guaranteed to maintain your dog's vision while keeping that famous Husky coat looking its best. Meanwhile, a combination of digestive enzymes and natural fiber ensure your four-legged friend remains regular even in old age, where digestive issues commonly begin to present themselves.


The design of the operators in Perl 6 is very consistent. For example, if you add a new operator to the language, Perl 6 will create a few more to keep the harmony. In this section, we will talk about the so-called meta-operators, the operators over other operators.
The assignment meta-operators (=) use the other operators to create the constructions like +=, ~=, etc. The action of the newly created operators is always equivalent to the verbose code.
If you type $a op= $b, then a compiler will execute the following action: $a = $a op $b.
That means that $x += 2 is equivalent to $x = $x + 2, and $str ~= '.' to $str = $str ~ '.'.
For any infix operator op the reduction form [op] also exists. The reduction operator takes a list, enrols its values, and inserts the operator between them.
Reduction operators also will be automatically created for the user-defined operators. For example, create the operator that accumulates the sum of every pair of operands that it ever received. Notice the state variable, which works as it does in regular subs, keeping the value between the sub calls.
Also note that the function returns the last calculated value; that's why there is no need for an explicit return $sum statement.
It is important to realise that the second call receives the values 3 and 3, not 2 and 3 from the original sub call. This is because in the second call, the left operand will contain the previously calculated value, which is also 3 at that moment.
The cross meta-operator prefix, X, applies an operation to all the possible combinations of the elements of the operands that are treated in list context. The result of the cross-operation is also a list.

Dr. Sanjay Saint is the George Dock Professor of Medicine at the University of Michigan. He is my Primary Research Mentor and has influenced me profoundly when it comes to how best to prevent healthcare-associated infections. I invited him to talk about his recent work on mandating influenza vaccination for healthcare workers here on the ImprovePICC blog site. This is a topic that clearly affects all vascular access nurses, physicians and providers that work in hospitals or inpatient care facilities. He was kind enough to agree.
VC: Tell me about the controversy related to your recent research paper on influenza vaccination.
SS: There has been quite a bit of controversy related to mandating influenza vaccination for healthcare workers. Much of the discussion has appeared on the important blog "Controversies in Hospital Infection Prevention" hosted by infectious disease specialists Drs. Eli Perencevich, Mike Edmond, and Dan Diekema of the University of Iowa. I respond on the blog itself to these issues and am happy to do so here for the vascular access and nursing community.
Our recent editorial in The Wall Street Journal on mandatory flu vaccination for healthcare workers elicited strong opinions, especially on social media. The impetus for our editorial was a recent paper published in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology in which we found through a national survey of lead infection preventionists that 42.7% of nonfederal hospitals had a policy mandating flu vaccinations for healthcare workers while only 1.3% of VA hospitals did.
In a 22 December 2015 blog post, Dr. Perencevich clarified his position by writing that he is "in favor of mandating influenza vaccination of healthcare workers (for now)". I am in agreement. While the data supporting mandatory healthcare worker flu vaccination is perhaps not as robust as researchers would like – when is it? – in my opinion, it is compelling enough to move forward unless new data emerge that reveal the mandate to be unnecessary or ineffective.
VC: Can you tell me a bit about the most compelling studies supporting mandatory vaccinations?
Results. We identified 4 cluster randomized trials and 4 observational studies conducted in long-term care or hospital settings. Pooled risk ratios across trials for all-cause mortality and influenza-like illness were 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI], .59–.85) and 0.58 (95% CI, .46–.73), respectively; pooled estimates for all-cause hospitalization and laboratory-confirmed influenza were not statistically significant. The cohort and case-control studies indicated significant protective associations for influenza-like illness and laboratory-confirmed influenza. No studies reported harms to patients. Using GRADE, the quality of the evidence for the effect of HCP vaccination on mortality and influenza cases in patients was moderate and low, respectively. The evidence quality for the effect of HCP vaccination on patient hospitalization was low. The overall evidence quality was moderate.
Conclusions. The quality of evidence is higher for mortality than for other outcomes. HCP influenza vaccination can enhance patient safety.
VC: But how may influenza vaccination reduce all-cause mortality?
SS: I am not sure. But previous studies have found influenza vaccination reduces cardiovascular events and venous thromboembolism. How vaccination may affect these outcomes is also not known - but it isn't irrational to also include all-cause mortality as an outcome given the myriad benefits of influenza vaccination in the literature.
VC: What about the other studies you mention?
Nowadays health care worker (HCW) vaccination is widely recommended. Although the benefits of this strategy have been demonstrated in long-term care settings, no studies have been performed in regular hospital departments. We adapt a previously developed model of influenza transmission in a long-term care nursing home department to study the effects of HCW vaccination in hospital wards. We study both the effectiveness and efficiency in reducing the hazard rates of influenza virus infection for patients. Most scenarios under study show a similar or higher impact of hospital HCW vaccination than has been predicted for the long-term care nursing home department. Therefore, it seems justified to extend the recommendations for HCW vaccination, based on results in the long-term care setting, to short-term care settings as well.
VC: So where does the controversy stand now?
SS: Dr. Perencevich recently wrote: "There is no data supporting the benefits of healthcare worker vaccination in acute care hospital settings…We are basing acute-care hospital policy on one observational study." I would thus modify this by stating we are basing acute-care hospital policy on a cluster randomized trial done in a hospital setting, an observational study performed in a hospital setting, a decision analytic model explicitly focusing on an acute-care setting, and 4 randomized studies from long-term care settings as part of a well-done systematic review.
VC: Have professional societies weighed in on a mandatory influenza policy?
SS: While the opinion of professional societies may not always be correct, I am impressed by the strong support in the scientific community for mandatory influenza vaccination for healthcare workers. The list of societies that support mandatory influenza vaccination for healthcare personnel includes: American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Physicians, American Hospital Association, American Public Health Association, Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Infectious Diseases Society of America, National Patient Safety Foundation, and Society for Healthcare Epidemiology for America.
VC: Is it ethical to mandate flu vaccine for healthcare workers?
Thank you for these important details. I think it is our job to be vaccinated to protect our patients. If we don't walk the walk, we should not be talking the talk.
I understand the reason for this but feel uneasy about "forcing" people to do anything. Is there a way to opt out if you are against vaccines? Will this affect my job? Seems as if the key issue here is how this is rolled out and whether there is coercion to do something you may or may not.
Great interview - would like to see more like these that are related to care of patients in the hospital beyond PICCs or vascular devices.
