A bachelor party is considered to be the last night of freedom for a man. After this he will settle down with one woman and be loyal to her. While cheating is not encouraged during this party it does not mean that a man cannot have some fun with attractive females and a group of his best buddies. A Boston bachelor party is not complete without strippers. A man can get attention from these ladies and enjoy a night of freedom. The ladies that perform at the bachelor party Boston are the hottest in the New England area. Not only are they good looking but they are friendly and personable as well.
There are several different Boston bachelor party packages that can be booked. These parties range from tame to wild. The group throwing the party can go online and look at the different packages. They can even pick out the stripper or strippers that want to perform at the party. There are pictures of the girls as well as information about this physical attributes. There is also information about the likes and the dislikes of the girls as well as the party types they are willing to perform at.
For those looking to have some fun while staying in control there is the mild party. A stripper will come to the party and dance for the guest. She will not get naked. She will strip down to a bikini type bathing suit. This show usually last for around ten minutes. It is entertaining and fun to watch but will not get out of control or get the men into trouble.
For men looking for the experience like they known in the strip clubs there is the r rated party. At this party the stripper will come and dance until they are naked. They will go around to the men and make sure they are having a good time and give them a little special attention. More than one stripper can be reserved for this type of event. All of the men will have fun and see some skin.
For men that want a real bachelor party Boston experience there is the adults' only part. This party will make any ran blush. At least two strippers will attend this party and the clothing will come off right away. The guest of honor will get special attention from these girls. They will leave him blushing and feeling hot. It is best that no one outside of the party find out about what they do to him. The girls will then turn their attention to each other and will put on an x rated show. They will come with special props for the party. This type of party can go on for an hour or more if the guests are enjoying themselves and the girls are getting tips. While this party is not for everyone the men attending it will have fun. Any party with these Boston strippers will be a wild night to remember for all that attends.

Hi, i just wanted to know what kind of speakers you all have at home ... and you have your PC and soundcard connected to them somehow ?
I use four old floor standing speakers that used to belong to my parents.
I think they were purchased some time in the 70's. The brand name on them is Electrophonic (never heard of this company). They sound fairly decent, not too clear but they have a nice warm sound to them and they provide enough output to fill my apartment bedroom with music.
Edit: Forgot to mention how they are connected to my computer.
SPDIF out of SB Live to Denon AVR-1801 to my speakers.
Wow, looks like few have dwabbled in the high-end. I have a pair of NSM Model 50 floorstanding loudspeakers, costing about $1800/pr. Real cherry wood cabinets, sealed box design, bi-ampable, 2 6-1/2" drivers, 1" tweeter in a M-T-M array. NSM is a small company...my speakers have a serial number of #145.
Sony XA-3ES CD player -> $15 RCA interconnects -> Onkyo TX-DS474 receiver -> Home Depot bulk speaker cable -> NSM Model 50s. No quality problrms with the cheap cables or the receiver.
My PC isn't hooked up to my stereo as of now...I plug my HD-600s into the sound card.
Infinity OWS-1 wall mount speakers with a KLH sub in the family room.
Sony V6 currently plugged into a SB Live on my PC. Sometimes they are plugged into the main stereo.
B&W's $600 602S2 bookshelf speakers in a decent room, coupled with a decent amp and a good sub that's been properly tweaked(mine's a Velodyne FSX-12) will keep up with most higher end stuff. Of course, for Good stable stands I paid $150, and the Velo was $900 (it's discontinued and can be found for around $600 now) What you really get with the higher end speakers is less distortion, less coloration, quicker low-frequency response, better stereo imaging (I can actually picture the environment a good jazz or classical recording was done in based on auditory cues with the 602's), better spatial depth, etc. The 602S3's do an even better job for the same price, but you can probably find the S2's discounted a bit now too. The 602's actually sound as big as most floorstanders, but without a sub, you won't get a floorstander's low end response.
For the average home listener who never sits down and really listens to their music a good system is a waste. You have to enjoy listening enough to spend time in the speakers' "sweet spot" instead of just playing stuff in the background. For me, spending $1000 on the various cabling was worth the price, most people never take the time to hear the difference though, so it doesn't matter as much.
Denon is decent, and in the broad range, would fall into the "middle of the road" category. Technics and the like sit at the bottom, Denon/Yamaha/Onkyo/Harmon Kardon sit in the middle and on the top end you have things like McIntosh, B&K, Classe, Proceed, Meridian and Mark Levinson.
Klipsch likewise sits in the middle, along with Infinity and other mass-produced big name manufacturers. The top end is reserved for things like Wilson, Genesis, Magneplaner, etc.
My normal CD player is an old Sony CDP-620ES. Laugh all you want, it sounds pretty good!
I used to know the model #'s but anyway, my best speakers are actually in my vehicle where I do most of my MPC listening. All 6 are top-tier Pioneer speakers with a sub. Top-of-the-midline Alpine EQ(without the gigantic graphic display) going to Alpine amps(now). The soundcard in the MPC'puter is a SB128. Good enough for me.
I use a pair of whoopass 20€ desktop speakers, connected to an audiophile ESS Solo PCI soundcard (35€).
Arcam Alpha 7 CD, Arcam Alpha 8 Amp, Mission 733i Speakers. SB1024 Live although I've never connected it up to my system, just use my PC speakers.
I am looking at buying a pair of these, but I have to drive 500 miles before I can listen to them. I dont think they would be too realistic without a subwoofer but I am covered for this.
Currently using a pair of Sony G-5's. Nice image but need some help to tone things down from 4 to 8 khz. They are 25 years old and can no longer be pushed and still sound tight.
Make sure you listen to the 602S3's. B&W seems to have done some slightly nicer things with the low end response between the S2 and S3's. If you're not looking for club level response, they actually sound decent and have a good amount of excursion for as small a driver as it is. My Velodyne (probably a little underpowered for the setup) will actually start distorting due to overextension before the B&W's will. When I compare with sub versus without, they certainly lack, but on their own if I walk up to them cold they usually do a pretty good job. Moral is, a sub is certainly something you can add later and I'd recommend a good sub over a cheapo sub since cheapo subs tend not to blend so well.
Nearest dealer is in Winnipeg Canada, so I will likely be listening to whatever theyhave in stock. I have a very musical Paradigm sub which is frequency and phase tuneable so I hope to be able to blend things adequately.
I have heard that these speakers image very well, and I am most sensitive to this.
I have heard that the nautilus tweeters can be somewhat sharp when coupled with a japanese negative feedback reliant amp. Do you have any experience with these speakers in such a situation?
Not entirely sure what you mean by that, but I'm powering them with a 100wpc Yamaha HTR-5460 and they sound good to me. I would say they're slightly more biased towards highs than the setup I listened to in the store with a stereo Denon amp. The 602S3's certainly emphasize highs less than the S2's though. I can't call myself an audiophile, but I was quite impressed with how good the S3's sounded to me after just listening to the Nautilus 800's hooked up to about $20K worth of amp and CD player. Consider that one setup was $1600 and the other was $36K, I found it very impressive.
I'd imagine your dealer has the S3's in stock by now, but if they don't, give the S2's a listen and if you like those, get the S3's from someplace else. I guarantee you won't regret it. It's the same sort of thing, but more refined. The S2's are the best $600 I've ever spent, and now I'm trying to figure out how I can upgrade to the S3's on my currently tight budget.
It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its.


When I realised there were no buses or trains to Canterbury by the time I would arrive to Gatwick, I felt very pleased with my decision of returning to Lisbon. No, I'm not in Lisbon right now, I just arrived to Gatwick's airport where I will spend the night until the next available train to the end of the world. Lucky me I get to experience one of those British movie scenes in which someone leaves an unattended bag in a seat and there are at least five people from security looking at the bag and whispering "don't touch it". Exciting times.
Everyone has cleared the area and I remained seated here, just behind the bag. I couldn't care less about its content. I'm tired, drained, and I have a huge headache that will only pass when I hit my head on a pillow. And that, my friends, will be only tomorrow, after my 2.30pm meeting with the director of psychology graduate studies. Plus I'm pretty sure it's not a bomb. I'm sure someone really tired and knackered left the bag behind. That's probably something that would happen to me today if I was carrying around luggage and bags on top of it. Instead I'm just enjoying my unwillingness to be here and trying to sort out where I'm going to stay at this hour until the next available train.
The trip was quite smooth, except for the long hours waiting to board. This always happens when I depart from Lisbon… can it be a Portuguese problem? At least we are not so paranoid about bags. We are more paranoid about missing a football match or stupid flying policies. Whereas an Englishman will always politely try to solve the issue, a Portuguese man will always complain out loud to anyone who wants and doesn't want to listen to it. That actually happened on today's flight, so I speak based on empirical data.
Weird things have been also happening in terms of feelings and sensations. Since the moment I stepped into Lisbon's airport I could only see references to someone that popped in my head again. Later I felt his nurturing presence, sitting at my left, but while I was way up in the air the strangest thing happened. My heart connection to him broke like a set of Kit Kat fingers. Two fingers to each side, breaking any unhealthy desire to bond. I felt myself detaching from him. I need to process this after finally having some proper rest, but the first thing I can say is that I felt free and grounded. There was no fuss, just a gentle detachment and a sense that I'm free, something I thought I would already be by now. I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be happier if there was a connection, but I know I can live without it.
I still have a good couple of hours to be with my thoughts. Who knows what weirder things will come up. My first night in an airport, woho!
Next ›Do I Still Have Time?
I am glad that there was nothing in the bag….lol, how are you, dear friend?

Denon DJ SC2900 Mutli-Media Player Review
DJ Blaze
The Denon DJ SC2900 is the new jog-wheel based multi-media playback DJ device that shares almost all of the same features and functions of the Denon DJ SC3900 which we reviewed last year. The Denon DJ SC3900 was a definite success for DJ's who wanted the closest vinyl-feel possible, but still gave the DJ options to play music using various forms of media or computer/tablet connectivity. It only makes sense that Denon would now focus its efforts on appeasing the DJ's who want a CDJ-like jog wheel feel.

Review Video & Demo
Setup & First Impressions
The Denon DJ SC2900 is the new jog-wheel based multi-media playback DJ device that shares almost all of the same features and functions of the Denon DJ SC3900 which we reviewed last year. Since the SC2900 and the SC3900 are nearly identical units (with the main difference being the motorized platter or jog wheel interface) much of this review will be the same with the exception of a few new features and the control differences. The Denon DJ SC3900 was a definite success for DJ's who wanted the closest vinyl-feel possible, but still gave the DJ options to play music using various forms of media or computer/tablet connectivity. It only makes sense that Denon would now focus its efforts on appeasing the DJ's who want a CDJ-like jog wheel feel for club familiarity or to give users a different way to control the playback of their music. The SC2900 is basically the same exact device as the SC3900 with jog wheels as opposed to the actively spinning platter.
First and foremost the Denon DJ SC2900 (like the 3900) is an extremely versatile machine. The SC2900 is capable of playing music using CD's, USB drives (top-mounted USB port), and through MIDI DJ software either in full MIDI controller mode or in a hybrid controller/timecode mode. The SC2900 can be connected to a computer for full MIDI mapping (available via the Denon website) or for use with Digital Vinyl Software and Soundcards in hybrid mode such as Traktor or Serato with its internal timecode system.
For the full MIDI-map mode, all the DJ has to do is load up the mapping file which is available directly from the Denon DJ website, install the drivers, plug in the USB cable, and you're ready to start spinning using the software and music library found on your computer. For Hybrid mode, the DJ must have a compatible DJ soundcard (A6/A10 for Traktor Pro; SL2/SL3/SL4 for Serato SSL) and mixer in order to connect the SC2900 to the soundcard for timecode playback. The SC2900 then plays the timecode signal for the software as long as the correct timecode frequency is selected from the Utility Menu on the device. While in Hybrid mode, all of the other buttons such as loop controls, file navigation controls, and hotcues still function perfectly as if we were in full-MIDI-map mode. We tested the SC2900 with Traktor in both MIDI-Map mode and in full Hybrid mode with an Audio 6 interface and a Vestax Mixer. While using the SC2900 in MIDI Map mode, all of the buttons and knobs work just as expected, but the jog wheel response isn't quite perfect one-to-one. When we used the SC2900 with Traktor Pro 2 in Hybrid Mode, there was no detectable latency while scratching or cueing while all of the buttons still worked perfectly. For those who are not satisfied with Traktor MIDI mode support, you can also try VDJ Pro and MixVibes Cross as alternatives, which may net you better results.
Other users are happy to step away from the computer screen and use the new Engine DJ software provided by Denon in order to set up Crates, playlists, and other properties on the USB drive the user chooses. Setting up your library in Engine will make the SC2900 search and load music much faster than many other competitor software setups out there. The Engine software can also be used in conjunction with an iPad which allows users to use the graphical user interface on the iPad to load upcoming tracks, search through playlists, and manage all the details of your DJ set and setup. The Denon SC2900 can also be linked together with up to four SC3900's or SC2900's to share USB drives that are connected to only one unit. In order to link them together, the user simply connects the SC2900's to a LAN router using the Ethernet port on the rear of the unit. If the user is only linking two SC3900's/SC2900's together, then only a RJ-45 cable is needed to connect them directly into each other. The iPad can be integrated into the setup using the Wireless LAN portion of the same router. As long as the decks and iPad are on the same network, then they can communicate using the Engine software.
From the outside, the SC2900 looks nearly identical to the SC3900 with it's mostly-plastic outer shell, front slot for loading CD's and an LED screen that all look borrowed from the original Denon DN-S3700 player from a few years ago. The Denon S2900 has 4-hotcue buttons along with a MIDI Bank 2 button to allow the user to have a total of 8-hot cue buttons by layering the additional set of hotcues. The USB drive port is at the top left corner of the unit and USB thumb drives as well as full featured Hard drives will work for playback. The Denon SC2900 has a reverse platter button on the left and a set of start/stop time knobs to the right of the platter which can be used to change the speed at which the platter starts and stops on the fly for some cool playback and transition effects. In between the hotcues and Reverse button is the Fast Search and Track Search buttons so users can skip ahead to tracks or sections in a track that they want to get to quickly.
Also found on the Denon DJ SC2900 is a good overall file navigation system and a generally "cleaner" way of accessing your music. There's an oversized silver knob for navigating through files as well as Back and Forward arrow buttons for folder/file navigation either within the software in MIDI mode or on the screen using the USB or CD's. The SC2900 also has the Slip Mode button which allows the DJ to manipulate the jog wheel, use loops, cue points, etc, while the play-head continues to play the track so that the play position of the track never loses its place. This means users can do whatever they want to the track in terms of manipulation when the SLIP mode button is activated and the track will still remain on-beat and exactly where it should be if no one touched the track during playback.
The Cue and Play/Pause buttons in the lower-left-hand-corner of the SC2900 have also changed as on the S3700 they were rubbery and less-sure of the user's input. Now these buttons on the SC2900 are much more solid and they have a much more tactile feel with better user feedback all around. Users can also now switch between USB, CD, Link, and MIDI mode without going through a complete system reset as was the case with the old S3700.
The biggest difference between the Denon SC3900 and the SC2900 is the new seven-inch touch-sensitive jog wheel with LED Cue and Position marker. The overall feel of this new jog wheel is fantastic. The SC2900 jog wheel has a mechanical sound and good weight to it which is very reminiscent of the jog wheel found on the Pioneer CDJ-900. The top of the Jog wheel is completely touch sensitive and there is an amber indicator at the bottom of the jog wheel which lets the user know when the users' "touch" is active on the platter. The top of the platter does not push downwards like other platters as it is completely sensor controlled by the users touch. The outer ring of the jog wheel is rubber with plenty of grip-textured cutouts for easy nudging when beatmatching. When the VINYL button is activated, the top of the jog wheel can be used to scratch and backcue, but when the VINYL button is deselected, the top of the jog wheel is now used for nudging and pitch bending.
The jog wheel has a torque adjust slider to the right that has five adjustments ranging from very light for scratching and juggling to very heavy for accurate/precise beatmatching. Around the jog wheel, there is an LED ring that shows cue point positions and the position of the "needle" while playing the track. I found the LED ring to be very useful when pulling off juggling routines and when trying to get the position marker back to the cue point or to the beginning of the track. I've used many jog wheels in my day, both on controllers and on other multi-media players, but the SC2900 jog wheel is honestly one of the best I've ever used. Even though it's a jog wheel, it still seems to emulate a "true-to-vinyl" feel that I'm sure most DJ's will love. The 9-inch platter is a great size for those who want the comfort of a real vinyl record beneath their fingertips while still maintaining a much smaller form factor than traditional vinyl turntables. The SC2900 also has the start/stop time knobs so the user can adjust the speed at which the track stops and starts when the play/pause button is engaged.
It is very hard to find any faults with such a complete multi-media player such as the Denon SC2900. If I'm really searching for something to complain about, I could say that the outer shell of the Denon SC2900 is made up of completely plastic. The same is the case for the SC3900 and most CDJ's and decks out there on the market these days, but it's worth pointing out that the unit is pretty lightweight in construction and they most likely will not survive a drop or any other hard impacts. Make sure you get a set of cases if you are going to use them as a Mobile DJ because they need to be protected when in transport. The next issue that I found with the SC2900 is that the jog wheel response when using the unit in Full MIDI-Mode with Traktor isn't quite perfect in terms of latency (Hybrid mode is perfect). The final minor gripe that I noticed is the center-click that is inherent at the pitch slider. The pitch slider feels nice and sturdy until you get to the middle of the band where there is a center click to let the DJ know when they are at absolute zero. Some users who like fine adjustments on the pitch may not like this feature, so it's worth pointing out.
Conclusion / Recommended For
In Conclusion, The Denon DJ SC2900 is a very worthy CD or multi-media style for any DJ who is looking to spin with a jog-wheel based deck and lots of versatility. Users can play CD's and USB drives, and work as a MIDI controller for software or Hybrid timecode control for Traktor or Serato. DJ's can link up to four SC3900's or SC2900's together simultaneously to share music from a single USB drive and to communicate with the Engine software via iPads or computers. The SC2900 has an excellent jog wheel feel which can easily rival the top competitors' offerings in the same space. There is also a nice full feature set with Loop controls, 4-8 hot cue buttons, and easy to use navigation controls to the right of the easy-to-read LED screen. The only minor issues I could find with the unit is that it's made up of mostly plastic (like 99% of all CD decks), the Traktor MIDI-Mode Jog Wheel performance isn't quite one-to-one, and there is a center-click at the pitch slider which hinders some users from making micro adjustments around the "zero" area. Other than these insignificant drawbacks, the Denon DJ SC2900 is truly one of the best jog-wheel based decks on the market today and there are just so many ways to use it and incorporate it into almost any existing DJ setup. We at djbooth.net recommend the Denon DJ SC2900 to any Pro DJ who is looking for a serious multi-media deck that has a great jog-wheel feel while also giving the DJ many different options for music playback.
Versatility! CD/USB/MIDI/Hybrid/Engine (Tablet) Playback

Chelonoidis hoodensis — вид черепах з родини суходільних черепах (Testudinidae).

Поширення
Ендемік Галапагоських островів. Поширений лише на острові Еспаньйола. Острів займає площу 60,5 км², а площа ареалу виду становить лише 6 км².

Чисельність
Оціночно, до появи людини на Галапагоських островах, на острові Еспаньйола жило 2400 черепах Chelonoidis hoodensis. До 1960-х років загальна популяція виду зменшилася до 15 зрілих дорослих тварин (12 самиць і трьох самців). З 1977 року запрацювала програма переселення черепах із зоопарків у дику природу. Загалом за 40 років переселено 1837 тварин, з них близько 400 нестатевозрілих черепах випущено на сусідньому острові Санта-Фе, який раніше був заселений вимерлим неописаним видом черепах. За даними, 2008 року загальна популяція виду оцінювалася у 800 особин. Популяція є генетично виснаженою, тому вид знаходиться під загрозою вимирання.

Спосіб життя
Сухопутний вид, пристосований для живлення кактусами та іншими ксерофітними рослинами. Панцир сідлоподібної форми. Статевої зрілості досягає у віці 20 років, живе приблизно до 60 років.

Home Health Care Policies- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced that home health providers' billing department should educate themselves on new requirements set forth with the intention of improving existing payment policy enforcements.
The new CR 9027 will ensure home health agencies are aware of new edits in Original Medicare systems to monitor and ensure that Low Utilization Payment Adjustment (LUPA) payments under Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) are made accurately and appropriately. The HH PPS includes the requirement of an additional payment when the episodes subject to LUPA payments are the first episode in a sequence of adjacent episodes or are the only episode of care received by a beneficiary. This is typically referred to as the "LUPA add-on".
The "Medicare Claims Processing Manual" contains revisions that give an overview of the CR9027 requirements and regarding adjustments for episode payments- LUPAs and request for anticipated payment (RAP), as well as HH PPS claims.
LUPA claims may be returned via Medicare systems to the provider if the claim meets the LUPA add-on payment criteria. "In these cases, the HHA may add the skilled visit to the claim if it was omitted in error and re-submit the claim," CMS says.

She released an album titled self-titled in 2013, which was recorded in New York City. Her music was criticized for its inexperience and lyrical naivete. But with her new album, RENAISSANCE, she is tackling a new style of music with a distinct message. Beyonce's new album is a celebration dance music and queer culture with songs that pay tribute to Black and queer musical icons.
Beyonce has been performing music for more than two decades. Beyonce was influenced by Black artists, such as Donna Summers, who popularized dance music during the 1970s. She composed songs about her own escapism as well as freedom for her upcoming album. She also spoke about her desire to release an album that is free of judgment or perfection.
Beyonce's Renaissance album is an ode to Black queer pioneers of dance music. It's a sensual joyful, joyful, and joyful release. It's among the most explicit albums she's ever released. It includes the most explicit and Black musical icons and blends post-1970s Black music styles. There are also drag soundbites by Moi Renee.
As the first single from the album, Beyonce released "Break My Soul," an anthem for clubs. However, it's the only track released by Queen B from the album. It's a dancehall-influenced track, featuring Beyonce in her neo-dancehall-style. It also features an extremely soft wood-block groove, and Beyonce slips into the pockets of marching drums in a very cool move. The album is available on both Tidal and Spotify. It's also available on limited-edition vinyl.
Beyonce's Renaissance album also features a song dedicated to her gay uncle. Uncle Johnny passed away due to complications with AIDS. Beyonce says that her uncle was the inspiration for her music making. The album is also dedicated to her "fallen angels" in club culture. It also includes an electronic DJ called Honey Dijon, a New Orleans bounce artist named TS Madison and Kevin JZ Prodigy. The album also has an allusion to Beyonce's passion for West African music. It ends with "Summer Renaissance," a slinky, joyful track that pays tribute to Black and queer icons of music.
The Renaissance album is an ode to and celebration of dance music. However, it also has an emotional connection to Beyonce. Her uncle was a gay man who cared for her as a young girl. The album is dedicated to him.
The Renaissance album also has received a lot of criticism. People were skeptical that Beyonce would release a music video for a single song. But she decided to release a music video for the album's title track, "Freedom," which is actually the album's most popular song.
While the Renaissance album is an ode to dance music and queer culture, it also has a personal connection to Beyonce's personal life. She was heavily influenced by her uncle but she also dreamed of adventures. She wanted an album that was not influenced by judgment and that was a reflection of Black and queer music icons.

Biografie
Hij publiceerde in 1960 zijn basiswerk Analyse macro-économique de la Fiscalite belge. Hij was een pionier in het schatten van de minderinkomsten voor de Belgische schatkist ten gevolge van belastingontduiking en -ontwijking. Hij schatte deze op 27 miljard Belgische frank in 1966 en op 62 miljard frank in 1974. Sinds de jaren zeventig pleit hij voor een vermogensbelasting om het structureel Belgisch begrotingstekort op te vangen. Hij stuit op enorme weerstand van de lobby van het bedrijfsleven.

NOTICE: The Newsletter only contains links submitted by the individual state USGenWeb Archives File Managers.
Many thanks to Dear Myrtle for asking me to "appear" on her LIVE CALL-IN RADIO TALK SHOW 9-10pm TUES EASTERN US Time. See http://www.DearMYRTLE.com for details on how to access this show.
The USGenWeb Archives Digital Library was implemented in July 1996, and files are being added everyday. If you have transcriptions to contribute, please read the Guidelines for file contributions.
On the sites linked from this site you will find genealogically significant files that have been transcribed and contributed by volunteers. It is folks like you who have helped this project grow from its beginning in 1996 to what it is today. Please consider donating a file so that others may have free access to it. Remember, this site is what you make of it! If you have found useful information, please take a moment to thank the volunteer who donated the file.
The USGenWeb Tombstone Project was started by Pam Reid to encourage people to walk cemeteries and donate copies of the surveys to The USGenWeb Archives. Many transcriptions are already available online and more are added daily.
That's exactly why the organizers and the current volunteers of the USGenWeb Archives structured them the way they are (for future growth). Every circumstance, idea, possibility, technology (present and future), was considered when setting the Guidelines of the USGenWeb Archives. They've grown to over 2.5 GIGS of text data, and way over that in scanned documents... in just three years. The first file was uploaded in June 1996.
We have a million hits (downloads) a month, and researchers find the present structure very easy and useful. The archivists have made very few changes since June 1996, for example - including adding the USGenWeb Archives Notice to each file, because several ventures were starting to point to the files behind a fee-based website, and some were copying the files to build a library for their own purpose.
File submitters are from all over the Internet, including genealogical societies, departments of the United States government, and local and county offices. People see the advantage of the Archives for researchers, and go out of their way to help. We're constantly getting messages asking, "How can I help?"
The Archives have also gained a respect from the NGS, who helped us start the Chalkley Chronicles project, and other genealogical societies - who send databases of their out-of-print publications, and government offices - census and Bureau of Land Management.
Since 1996, The USGenWeb Archives and it's volunteers, have been dedicated to free online genealogy.

St. Louis, MO – Andrea Miller, President of the National Institute for Reproductive Health (NIRH) and NIRH Action Fund, released the following statement today decrying St. Louis' failure to pass Board Bill 34, "The Buffer Zone Bill." The ordinance, which failed by a vote of 15-9, would protect women accessing abortion care by creating an eight-foot buffer zone around St. Louis' only abortion clinic. Studies show that efforts to disrupt services at abortion clinics have proliferated over the last 10 years, with more than 200,000 reported acts of intimidation or violence, including arson, obstruction, and burglary among others.
NIRH has partnered with NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri for the last two years to pass local level policy that expands reproductive freedom. Last year, with the support of NIRH, St. Louis became one of the first cities in the country to pass a Reproductive Health Nondiscrimination Ordinance.
St. Louis originally earned a two out of a possible five stars in NIRH's 2017 Local Reproductive Freedom Index. NIRH will re-evaluate the reproductive health, rights and justice policies of the most populous U.S. cities in order to reflect improvements that cities make during that time.


Amongst one of the most popular electrical wiring questions is on how to wire a switch.

Splice the black wire in two and join them over the terminal screws - one on prime as well as the other about the base screw in the switch. The white wire serves for a source of uninterrupted electric power and is also generally connected into a gentle coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver).

To wire the lover, it's merely a make a difference of connecting the black wire of your ceiling fan to the black wire of the switch. If there is a light, the blue wire ought to be connected for the black wire on the change too.
There are reasons why these are definitely the most normally requested electrical wiring concerns.

Just as in many service businesses, trades-people will often be mandated to be trained, insured, and licensed to do their treatments in particular parts of the United States of America. Professionals that possess these accreditations may be counted on to be more professional than individuals who do not. Furthermore, those who have proper insurance and bonds attached to their firm can give householders with a solid level of reassurance as the home owners won't be held responsible for any errors that the technicians may bring about. Much of the details about a technician's credential status can be learned through their organization's web page, or by calling them directly.

So here is some of my thoughts on Premier Fantasy Football strategy after the season is finished taking into account some of the things that I have learnt from my 1,734 overall finish. I'll also present the thoughts of the different top 10 FA Premier Fantasy Football on the areas that I shall be covering.
Just like I have said, there a various ways through which you can play the FA Premier Fantasy Football and the thoughts I have noted down in this article are just my style of playing.
It is crucial that you note that my overall rank is my primary focus instead of winning the mini leagues that you are assigned to. I should also give you a heads up that my premier fantasy style of play is very conservative and is very risk averse.
This is one of the most contentious area in the Premier Fantasy Football. Ownership is almost a very dirty word and my suggestion would be on at least an FA Premier Fantasy Football advice site, this word has been banned in relation to strategy.
I mean is you are planning on basing your team on ownership, say for example 7/11 of your team is based on ownership instead of form, stats, and fixtures, then this does not take into account the mystery and need for research and advice.
As possibly, up to 50% of the teams formed in the Premier Fantasy Football will become inactive overtime as a result of the manager losing interest in the ownership figures.
Therefore, ownership, just like in real life football the managers talk about how important it is to attack with the all and defend when you don't have the ball, can make a similar comparison with the Premier Fantasy Football.
Premier fantasy in my opinion is similar to ensuring you minimize dropping in ranks which you can achieve through being aware of the player ownership in addition to having a well formulated strategy to boost your rank.
I will use an example of ignoring the high profile player who keep scoring while everyone around you has them. The moment they keep on scoring, you can be rest assured that your rank will be nailed properly.
The most common played formation has been the 3-4-4 and definitely of the top 10 premier fantasy managers that I follow often, 8/10 would use this formation every week.
Starting from the back, you could have two goal keepers who you will keep rotating home and away. In most cases, people would spend £4.5M on each of the two keepers. This is a total waste of money as I would prefer to choose a £4.5M goal keeper and a £4.0M goalkeeper backup from the same team.
In defense, you have a choice of 5 defenders. You can choose to have an elite defender, and two pairs of rotating affordable defenders as the first option or you can decide to have two elite defenders and three rotating defenders who will cost you around £4.0M.
In my opinion, I would rather choose the second option as I would like to have as little money as possible lying on my bench. The only problem with the £4.0 defenders is that they are very difficult to come by and usually risk having very little game time.
How I choose my defenders will depend on the availability of the players as well as the pre-season line-ups. Additionally, I also use the FA premier fantasy gifts that are available such as Arsenal's Hector Bellerin who was given to us as a £4.5 gift at the beginning of the season.
In midfield, you have a choice of choosing four starters and one cheap player to warm the bench (aiming for at most £4.5) or you can choose to have three starters and then rotating the fourth and fifth midfield player (aiming for their cost to be around £5.0).
In my opinion, I would go with the second option, which will prove to be viable especially if you have uptight funds.
At the striking role, I usually don't have any hard and fast rules when picking the three best forwards. Last season, Vardy and Kane showed the value of having a cheap striker who can score goals.
Returns for a cheap striker will be excellent and will allow you to invest the extra money somewhere else in the team without compromising the striker returns significantly.
In the Premier Fantasy Football, this is the most interesting part. First, it is important to note that you should use the captain choice like a shield instead of a sword. This means that you shouldn't lose your ranking over the choice of captain you make.
When you scout at the various Premier Fantasy Football advice websites, the different captain polls will be a good indicator of the opinions of the active and leading managers will do when selecting their captains.
The main FA Premier Fantasy Football website will have a very close co-relation to how the top 10K captain choices will look like. if from the list there is a clear favorite, then I will always choose that regardless of whether or not I believe in the player.
Like I mentioned earlier that I am a conservative premier fantasy player, the one section that I have strong belief in capitalizing is the double game weeks. During this time, I usually go all out. This is more so when I have a player who has friendly upcoming fixtures right after the double game weeks.
This is because the transfer in most cases usually gives me some assurance that the transfer has some possibility of returning some points. In my opinion, I usually think that the returns are quiet unpredictable but I also find it worth trying something that will drastically boost my overall ranking.

Squamous metaplasia
At birth there is an abrupt junction between the squamous epithelium of the ectocervix (the original squamous epithelium) and the columnar epithelium of the endocervix. Through exposure to estrogen (at birth, during puberty, and throughout reproductive life), the glycogen in the exfoliated cells of the vagina is converted into lactic acid, accounting for the acidity of the vaginal secretions (pH < 4.5). This acidity, along with other factors, stimulates the replacement of the columnar epithelium with squamous epithelium. This process is known as metaplasia. Metaplasia results in the formation of a new SCJ. The area between the original SCJ and the new SCJ is known as the transformation zone. Metaplastic changes usually start from the periphery of the ectropion and spread towards the external os. Changes can also occur in discrete patches on the columnar epithelium. The new squamous cells originate from the totipotent "reserve" cells that remain dormant beneath the columnar cells.
The process of metaplasia starts with fusion of the tips of the villi, followed by covering of the columnar epithelium by thin transparent immature epithelium. The immature epithelium matures, with gradual proliferation and differentiation of the squamous cells. The mature squamous epithelium formed because of metaplasia is sometimes indistinguishable from the original squamous epithelium.
As the metaplasia advances, a "new" SCJ is formed, which gradually moves inwards towards the external os.
Metaplastic epithelium can be faintly acetowhite, and iodine uptake is often patchy on it.
The original SCJ on the outer limit of the transformation zone is not often easily seen with the colposcope. It is defined as mature squamous epithelium with no columnar epithelium in or underneath it. It sometimes coincides with the iodine uptake margin. The term "SCJ" during colposcopy always indicates the new SCJ unless otherwise specified.

Q: A value of type '' cannot be used as a default parameter because there are no standard conversions to type 'T' I am getting the Error:

A value of type '' cannot be used as a default parameter because there are no standard conversions to type 'T'

while trying to write this piece of code
protected T GetValue<T>(Expression<Func<T>> property, T defaultValueIfNull = null);

Does anybody has idea that how to make null value types. Is there anyway to do this?

A: There are no constraints on type T, so it can be a value type.

You can rewrite method definition as

protected T GetValue<T>(Expression<Func<T>> property, T defaultValueIfNull = default(T));

Which will mean null for reference types and default value for value types.

A: T in this case might also be a value type, such as int, which cannot be null. You should specify a type constraint, limiting T to classes:
...T defaultValueIfNull = null) where T : class

An alternative would be using ...T defaultValueIfNull = default(T)) - you wouldn't need the constraint, but value types would become 0 by default, instead of null.

ResolveViewModelType: The first convention is used internally by the ViewResolver and given the view type returns the ViewModel type for the given view, the default behavior is that the view model is in the same namespace of the view and has the same type name suffixed with "Model" (e.g.: MainView and MainViewModel).
ResolveViewType: The ResolveViewType convention is currently under development and not used, but basically does the opposite stuff, using the same default behavior, as the ResolveViewModelType convention. The toolkit utilizes a view first approach, thus resolving the view type given the view model type is not required, you can use this convention to implement a view model first based approach.
ViewReleaseHandler: the ViewReleaseHandler is called each time a View should be released, this handler is responsible to release the View and its associated ViewModel if any. This handler also unsubscribe, if allowed by the ShouldUnsubscribeViewModelOnRelease convention, the ViewModel from all the subscriptions registered with the MessageBroker.
ShouldReleaseView: determines if a View should be released when required.
ShouldUnsubscribeViewModelOnRelease: determines if ViewModel subscriptions should be unsubscribed at release time.
ShouldUnregisterRegionManagerOfView: internally used by the UI Composition engine to determine if a region manager should be destroyed when the owner View is released, the default behavior is to destroy region managers only if the View is not a singleton view.
FindHostingWindowOf: This convention is currently used to find the Window that hosts a given view model. It is pretty useful to get a reference to the Window object that hosts, in its visual tree a View Model data bound to a UserControl.
ViewModels as resources: there are scenarios in which it's handy to have the current View ViewModel available in the View resources. ShouldExposeViewModelAsStaticResource and ExposeViewModelAsStaticResource control if a ViewModel is exposed as a resource (false by default) and how it is exposed. The default behavior, when this feature is active, is to register the ViewModel in the resources using its Type name as the resource key.
ViewHasDataContext, SetViewDataContext and GetViewDataContext: The ViewHasDataContext convention simply checks if the given view DataContext property is not null, this convention accepts a DependencyObject because in WPF the DataContext property is not defined on a single root object but is defined on FrameworkElement and on FrameworkContentElement. SetViewDataContext and GetViewDataContext respectively sets and gets the DataContext of the given view.
The ViewDataContextSearchBehavior has been introduced to overcome an issue encountered due to the way dependency property value inheritance works. When using nested views, for example because one child view is loaded as a content injected into a region, if the nested view does not have a DataContext property (e.g. is a view without a ViewModel) its DataContext property value is inherited from the first element in the logical tree that has a DataContext assigned. This default WPF behavior was causing some subtle bugs in the way the Radical MVVM logic was working. The ViewDataContextSearchBehavior has been introduced to determine the way the MVVM engine will look for the ViewModel on a View, the default behavior, that can be controlled via the DefaultViewDataContextSearchBehavior property, is to look only on the View DataContext property ignoring each inherited value.
The same logic applies to the ShouldNotifyViewModelLoaded convention for the ViewModel.
AttachViewToViewModel and GetViewOfViewModel: Internally the Radical.Windows.Presentation MVVM and UI Composition toolkit needs to know the runtime View – ViewModel relations in order to know that given a ViewModel instance the corresponding View instance is certainly a specific instance.
By design this works out-of-the-box because the AbstractViewModel type implements the IViewModel interface that has a View property internally used for this tasks. If the user does not like this behavior or cannot inherit from the AbstractViewModel type, nor implement the IViewModel interface, can replace this convention in order to store somewhere else the required relation (e.g. a statically defined dictionary).
TryHookClosedEventOfHostOf: This is internal and is used by the region service engine to attach the closed event of the hosting window, if any, in order to cleanup stuff when the window is closed.
IsHostingView: The IsHostingView convention is internally used by the Region base class to determine if a given visual element can be considered a View.
