Martial God Space - Chapter 13 - AnythingNovel.com Read online any english novel around the world.
One day later. Above a branch of a gargantuan tree, Ye Xiwen sat cross-legged, breathing a sigh of relief. The body's wounds were almost fine. The ''Bright Jade Power's'' healing effect was unusually good. If on the Earth with such an injury, it would take at least a few months to be fully well. But here, in merely one day, it had already been almost restored. Martial powers really are miraculous.
During this day, he had hidden here and there. More and more of the Zhang family's men joined amongst the pursuing ranks. The Zhang family disciples tempered themselves in this region. Although they did not know Ye Xiwen's appearance, and each and every person who saw Ye Xiwen was killed by Ye Xiwen, this did not prevent them from pursuing Ye Xiwen. Those who formerly looked suspicious were all captured and killed by them.
They would rather wrongly kill three thousand, not letting off one!
Chasing for a day, having not the slightest meaning to stop, too. Ye Xiwen slaughtered two Zhang family young masters, the Zhang family couldn't not be furious. Moreover, as time went on, more and more experts appeared, more and more powerful.
Must think of a way to get rid of them, or make their vitality severely damaged.
''Hou!'' Suddenly, continuous beast roars were heard, seeming like an ape or monkey's cry magnified by countless times.
The number of the violent ape sounds reverberating wasn't known, resounding in the horizon.
Ye Xiwen immediately stood up, leaping onto another large tree, rapidly flying over toward the place the sound was coming from.
Far away, Ye Xiwen saw more than one hundred gigantic apes. Only seeing that these gigantic apes' bodies were coated with silvery-white hair, approximately more than two metres tall and with fierce facial fangs. Extremely ferocious.
A troop of Iron-back Silver Apes!
Ape-type demon beasts were not at all rare in the Qing Feng mountains. There were many communities, amongst these, the Iron-back Silver Ape was a famous one. Every one of these violent apes had super strength. Fully grown Iron-back Silver Apes could surpass the power of four tigers, no less than Houtian fifth stage warriors, able to tear up tigers and leopards, the body was strong and robust as if a steel bar. Swords and spears had difficulty entering.
Inside the tremendous troop of silvery-white apes, a golden Iron-back Silver Ape loftily stood above the treetops. Nearing three metres, compared to a giant silver ape it was much taller.
This was an Iron-back Ape King, imposing manner extremely frightful. According to humankind's classification method, it definitely outstripped the Houtian eighth stage, extraordinarily strong.
More than one hundred Silver-back Apes. From the scale, it was already not small.
Ye Xiwen suddenly had an idea using the coming Zhang family's men. The Iron-back Silver Ape was a kind of organism which unusually cared about its domain, any organism attempting to approach their domain would be seen as a provocation. Then they would rip them apart.
When the moment came, Ye Xiwen could fish in troubled waters to escape.
Making up his mind, Ye Xiwen turned around, walking over towards the Zhang family groups.
Inside the jungle, a group of Zhang family warriors carefully searched for passing traces of Ye Xiwen, trying to find anything. Now seniors have already commanded to must capture Ye Xiwen. To kill, rather wrongly killing to not let him slip by.
Suddenly, on top of a tree, a shadow jumped down. 'Honglonglong', a rumbling thunderstorm sound. A large hand shot down from overhead.
''Peng!'' Inside the group, a warrior met a violent death right away.
''This individual is the murderer who killed many of our Zhang family's men, capture him!'' Immediately, a warrior recognised Ye Xiwen, crying out.
Ye Xiwen killed one warrior then turned to run, the Zhang family warriors behind chased after at once.
In between several jumps, Ye Xiwen submerged into the woods. Behind, the chasing Zhang family experts grew more and more. A grandiose dozens of people.
''Brat, die to me!'' An exploding shout, that middle-aged man with scarred face joined the ranks to chase and kill Ye Xiwen.
Ye Xiwen could sense the atmosphere of many formidable killing intents behind, immediately sneering. Come on, the more coming, the more he had an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
The pursuers behind were getting more and more close, at the same time, the Iron-back Silver Ape community's territory was also in sight. Ye Xiwen grabbed a large stone from the ground, throwing it toward the distant Iron-back Silver Apes.
Immediately following, Ye Xiwen dived, fleeing into the thickets, crawling on the ground, concealing his whole atmosphere.
''Peng!'' That large stone directly knocked that Iron-back Silver Ape unconscious. Ye Xiwen's strength was large, calculated to five hundred kilograms. The Iron-back Silver Ape body was as strong as iron. For an ordinary demon beast, this ferocious smash could make his head split open.
The troop of Iron-back Silver Apes were angry, someone actually invaded their territory, attacking their community. One after another bellowing upwards, both hands beat the chest. The fierce air was monstrous.
The troop of Iron-back Silver Apes were leaded by that Ape King, rushing over toward Ye Xiwen's direction with unprecedented speed. These muscular big fellows' speed on the trees was extremely quick, arms hanging over branches, changing hands between, leaping several metres in distance.
At this time, the Zhang family's men chasing to kill Ye Xiwen arrived, shouting to kill Ye Xiwen with ample murderous spirit.
Both sides were caught somewhat unprepared. Inside the jungle, the line of sight would be obstructed, not to mention that both sides were sprinting extremely quickly as if two powerful currents fiercely hit each other.
A Houtian fourth stage Zhang family warrior dashed ahead, directly getting hit flying by an Iron-back Silver Ape, knocked down and killed.
These Iron-back Silver Ape ran at a high speed, appearing to be a typhoon of flesh tanks, supernaturally brave without rival.
''F*ck, how are there so many Iron-back Silver Apes here!'' That middle-aged man with a scarred face used a blade to hack an Iron-back Silver Ape into two halves, gloomily cursing. The Iron-back Silver Apes inside the Qing Feng mountains were not an affable community. The Zhang family, although insolent, did not dare to negligently provoke such a community. Even when experienced, they would only choose a singled-out demon beast, and would not touch the whole community.
What's more, Iron-back Silver Apes in itself were a powerful community.
Both powerful currents ferociously hit each other. Immediately, inside the warrior group of the Zhang family, many were killed by the Iron-back Silver Apes, suffering a crushing defeat. However, the Iron-back Silver Apes also had many killed and beheaded by the warriors.
''Hou!'' The Iron-back Silver Ape King covered in golden hair bellowed, the howling shaking the sky, jumping down from the top of the trees.
''Hong!'' The direct pressure burst a Zhang family warrior, the shaking starting to sway the earth.
''Peng!'' A warrior's blade hacked down, to his surprise, the Iron-back Silver Ape caught it with bare hands. The fine steel long blade was directly moulded into an iron sheet. That warrior was also punched dead by the Iron-back Silver Ape.
This heavy shadow boxing, it actually brought out a shadow fist technique. Ye Xiwen was exceptionally stunned, this demon beast was actually able to use fist techniques. It ought to be the Monkey Fist!

Just loving life on the road: it's a home from home for travelling groom Russell
Emily Shields | December 02, 2019 |

When the first credit card declined, Ian Russell was a little annoyed. When the second and third cards failed, he started to panic.
He was standing in a clothing store at the mall across from Santa Anita Park before the 2014 Breeders' Cup with $350 worth of new clothes waiting by the register. Just yards away, his charge, Caspar Netscher, was resting, gearing up for a run at the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint.
Getting him there had proven difficult, as travel issues forced him to fly from Toronto, where he prepped for the race by winning the G2 Nearctic Stakes at Woodbine, back to Amsterdam, and then all the way to Los Angeles.
And now Russell's cards were declining.
"When I phoned the bank, they asked if I was aware my card had been tried in three countries over three days," Russell said. His response included a few choice words.
At the time Russell was awash with embarrassment, but now it is just an amusing story, one of many that David Simcock's traveling head lad has compiled. He spends most of his time on the road – or in the air – with world-class horses, competing in Dubai, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and the United States. The man who can pack a bag and be out the door in 20 minutes doesn't let the minor snafus of travel rattle him.
Before jetting around the planet with the likes of Simcock trainees Trade Storm, Sheikhzayedroad and I'm A Dreamer, Russell grew up in an equestrian family and competed in eventing, twice representing Great Britain. He had done some traveling with a different stable before being offered the position with Simcock. For some, the prospect of traveling around the world at a moment's notice would seem a nightmare, but for Russell it was a dream. "I jumped at the chance and grabbed it with both hands."
The first notable charge he had was I'm A Dreamer, who missed by a head in the 2011 G1 EP Taylor at Woodbine. "She was the first real proper international horse I traveled with," Russell said. "She had a strong temperament and wasn't the easiest to deal with, but I will always hold her closely to my heart because she took me to Canada and my first Breeders' Cup, to Dubai and Belmont. She was very special; a tough bitch but a talented one at that."
Other top runners came soon after. Trade Storm won the G1 Woodbine Mile, ran third in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita, and was a group horse at Meydan, Ascot, and Goodwood. "He was a yard favourite," Russell said. "He took me to Hong Kong for the first time and was a loveable horse that tried his hardest. He had his problems along the way but was a true professional and a giver without a doubt."
Amazing, unique attitude
The immensely popular Sheikhzayedroad, who won 11 of 49 starts and just under $2 million, was a personal favorite. "He was quite naughty as a 2-year-old when he was a colt. When he traveled internationally he developed this need for attention. He had an amazing, unique attitude, and a very long face with which he would look down on you. He was so cool."
Desert Encounter took Russell back to Woodbine the last two years, winning the G1 Pattison Canadian International each time. He is a possible for the Dubai Carnival in the New Year.
Russell noted that getting a full week of notice before hitting the road would be, "an awful lot of notice", because plans are constantly changing due to weather and each horse's condition. "Generally, it is discussed with David. He gives a couple of weeks' heads up in advance that it could happen, but it can be as short as a day or two."
Russell is a pro at the job. "I can get stuff ready immediately. I always have a bag half-packed. And I do have an obscure amount of suits and shirts and a range of shoes, and toiletries that consist of half-full bottles of shampoo."
Turning to you for reassurance
Born in North East England, Russell now calls Newmarket home, but he hardly spends time there during the racing season. He laughed at the notion of worrying about air travel. "God no, I'm not afraid of flying," Russell said. "I quite enjoy rolling down the runway in a crate in a plane, watching a horse who has no idea what happens next. It's amazing how the horse turns to you for reassurance. It's quite the experience as the plane takes off, and the horse is looking at you because you're the only familiar thing it has. You and the horse bond very quickly because of the circumstances."
But even the happiest travelers can experience some aggravating setbacks. "Going from Canada to home this time took 30 hours," Russell said. "There was a problem in customs so we were held for six hours doing nothing.
"Days like that I just want to get in bed and pull the duvet over my head. But with my job I have to be aware that horses and travel do not always work well together. You're dealing with airlines and horse boxes and sometimes you're in the hands of the gods."
And weather plays a large part in the experience. At Churchill Downs last fall, Russell was taking video of his charge, Lightning Spear, on the track. A man ran out to collect another horse off the track, and the horse skimmed across the mud, throwing it up and all over Russell. "I was covered head to foot in sloppy, wet dirt," he said. "I looked like I had fallen over and been dragged."
Russell was at Belmont Park in September for the G1 Jockey Club Derby Invitational Stakes with Spanish Mission. The son of Noble Mission went favored and won by a desperate nose in a thrilling photo. Russell was overwhelmed with emotion and not quite sure his horse had actually held on to win.
"I had to ask a random person that I'd never met before, 'Could you please tell me who won the race?' They told me the number and I said, 'Could you tell me his name though?' He said, 'Didn't you saddle the horse?' I was just completely overwhelmed with how close it was."
Another time his enthusiasm bubbled over with Simcock present. "We won the [G1] Beverly D at Arlington with I'm A Dreamer," Russell recalled. "David put his hand out to shake mine when she crossed the line, but I grabbed him and gave him a bear hug. I was jumping around. I'd say he felt uncomfortable."
As the year winds down, Russell can look forward to an off-season vacation. "I want to think about beaches and holidays and completely getting away."
Burn out after a long season is unavoidable. "I do get tired," he said. "I was in Hong Kong last year and got homesick. I think it's the same for everybody who travels, at some point you miss your mom, dad, boyfriend, wife … but FaceTime is an amazing thing and modern media is fantastic. I have a great friend-base who all do the same types of jobs, and those friends almost become your family for a little bit."
Russell has won G1 races in France and has been to Milan but has yet to visit Japan or Australia. But would he, given the chance?
"I'll go anywhere," he said.

Accountant jokes
4 jokes about accountants
A housewife, an accountant and a lawyer were asked "How much is 2+ 2?"
The housewife replies: "Four!"
The accountant says: "I think it's either 3 or 4. Let me run those figures through my spreadsheet one more time."
The lawyer pulls the drapes, dims the lights and asks in a hushed voice, "How much do you want it to be?"
5 lawyer jokes
A man, called to testify at the IRS, asked his accountant for advice on what to wear. "Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let him think you are a pauper."
Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice. "Do not let them intimidate you. Wear your most elegant suit and tie."
Confused, the man went to his rabbi, told him of the conflicting advice, and requested some resolution of the dilemma. "Let me tell you a story," replied the rabbi. "A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night. 'Wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck.' But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. 'Wear your most sexy negligee, with a V neck right down to your navel.
The man protested: "What does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?"
"No matter what you wear, you are going to get screwed."

Larry replies, "I was out getting a tattoo."
"A tattoo?" she frowned. "What kind of tattoo did you get?"
"I got a hundred dollar bill on my privates," he said proudly.
"What the hell were you thinking?" she said, shaking her head in disdain. "Why on earth would an accountant get a hundred Dollar bill tattooed on his privates?"
"Well, one, I like to watch my money grow. Two, once in a while I like to play with my money. Three, I like how money feels in my hand. And, lastly, instead of you going out shopping, you can stay right here at home and blow a hundred bucks anytime you want."

All six of the school trustee candidates running in Milne's Landing spoke to the Sooke News Mirror.
The most common response and for sure the most pressing issues are centered on the need for building upgrades and classroom accommodation for the rapidly growing population in the Sooke School District. The overriding issue at this point is to elect a group of trustees who represent the voice of our community so these issues are dealt with effectively. It is critical to have someone who not only listens but is also an informed listener; when it comes time to making decisions, the community will trust they are good decisions. Given my active presence in the community, as a life-long resident, I am accessible to the community and I will make informed decisions.
From conversations in the community I have heard the need for increased emergency preparedness, debate over a school in Sunriver, and a need for increasing advanced technology. All are pressing issues and we want to keep an open ear to other issues that arise, and collaborate as a community that is focused primarily on the health of our students. The various communities within a community, all have a stake in our education system. Given my role as a student, researcher, and job developer in this district, I have an open ear to all issues and concerns. People can have faith in my decision making because I have been active in this community in these multiple capacities.

DNV GL Reaffirms Highest Level of Integrity of Nord Stream Pipeline
Source: www.gulfoilandgas.com 11/1/2019, Location: Asia
The leading global quality assurance and risk management company DNV GL has extended the certificate of conformity to the offshore standard for underwater pipelines DNV-OS-F101 for the Nord Stream gas pipeline for the seventh time.
The annual renewal of DNV GL�s certificate during operations by Nord Stream AG has proven year after year the continuously high level of safety and reliability of this gas pipeline.
The Nord Stream Pipeline was designed and built in compliance with DNV GL�s international certification standard DNV-OS-F101. During the commissioning of Line 2 in October 2012, DNV GL issued the first certificate confirming the compliance of the Nord Stream Pipeline with the requirements of said standard. Over the following years, Nord Stream AG engineers and DNV GL experts have been working closely together to develop the Pipeline Integrity Management System (PIMS), as well as to verify and monitor its operation and maintenance procedures.
The companies exchange technical and process information and regular reports on an ongoing basis, which allows them to ensure high annual performance, as well as a positive assessment by DNV GL of how during the operation, Nord Stream AG ensures proper compliance with all required conditions for safe and reliable gas transportation.
Marcus Korthals, Compliance Director at Nord Stream AG, commented on the long-term cooperation between the two companies: �Since 2012, DNV GL has been providing us with the highest quality expertise in construction and operation of offshore pipelines. We are pleased that this well-known international company recognises the integrity of our system, which guarantees reliable and safe transportation of natural gas from Russia to Europe.�
Nils Andreas Masvie, Vice President Eurasia at DNV GL Oil & Gas, says: �We are once again pleased to confirm the highest level of safety and reliability of the Nord Stream gas pipeline. Since the pipeline�s commissioning in 2012, Nord Stream AG has shown that both lines of the pipeline meet the most stringent requirements of the offshore standard regulations for subsea pipelines every year.�

Toronto is seeing a record surge in home listings this month — here's why
Sarah Niedoba Dec 20, 2017
Photo: James Bombales
As the holiday season rolls around, listings tend to dry up — no one wants to sell when everyone's busy with friends and family. But according to new data, this year may prove to be the exception.
December has seen a 64 per cent surge in listings across the GTA, a dramatic year-over-year increase from last December's 66 per cent decrease.
"The thing to keep in mind, is that the market was really ramping up at this time last year," Zoocasa managing editor Penelope Graham tells BuzzBuzzNews. "Listings were extremely low, while demand was at record highs, throwing the market into an extremely tight sellers market."
Graham says that this year's rise in listings can be attributed in part to anxiety around a new mortgage stress test which will come into effect on January 1.
"There's been a lot of coverage about how buyers feel some urgency to buy before the test comes into effect, and we're seeing sellers respond to that demand," says Graham.
The test, announced in October, will require all uninsured mortgage borrowers to qualify against the Bank of Canada's five-year benchmark rate, or at their contract rate plus an additional 2 per cent. It is expected to cut into many buyers' purchasing power, cooling the market for the first half of 2018.
SEE ALSO: How many foreign buyers are investing in Canadian real estate? Not as many as you'd think
"This month is a good time for buyers, as sellers are more anxious to sell, and there's more inventory on the market," says Graham.
The change is particularly pronounced in the detached home market. This time last year, there were 1,839 detached homes listed in the GTA — now there are 3,013.
While she acknowledges that detached homes are still beyond the reach of many buyers, Graham says that they may be more affordable this month than they have been in the past.
"Buyers may have some leverage this month, if they're interested in purchasing a detached property," says Graham.
Sales also declined in December, falling 11 per cent to create a 47 per cent sales-to-new-listings ratio for the GTA. According to the Canadian Real Estate Association, a ratio of between 40 to 60 per cent is considered a balanced market, with figures below and above indicating buyers and sellers markets, respectively.
"Buyers have far more choice — and are contending with much less competition — than the same time last year when the market was ramping up to its eventual March peak," reads Zoocasa's data release.

Tax bills are calculated based on taxable value instead of state equalized value. As part of proposal A, beginning in 1995, taxable value increases by the Consumer Price Index or 5%, whichever is less.
Can taxable value increase more than the rate of inflation?
A sale/title transfer occurs. The year following the sale and/or title transfer, the property becomes "uncapped", making the State Equalized Value (SEV) and taxable value (TV) the same. Michigan law states the actual sale price must not be the sole basis for the new SEV for that property.
You have received a postcard because CSZ Services has been hired by your City or Township as an Assessor. An employee of CSZ Services will verify data that is kept on your record card. This information includes building sketches, building and property conditions, and photographs of all properties.
The field technician will NOT enter any buildings on your property.
Why did I get a postcard in the mail?
The Assessor is the government official responsible for establishing the value of property for tax purposes. All property within the city or township is valued each year as to its status on December 31. The City or Township Assessor is responsible for evaluating your property's value and the City or Township Treasurer is responsible for collecting your taxes.
1.) An increase in millage. Periodically, voters have an opportunity to renew or approve increases to tax rates at special elections. If voters approve additional millage, your taxes will increase.
(2) Your property's taxable value. The Taxable Value of a property is adjusted each year based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and other factors. An increase in taxable value will result in an increase of your taxes.
(3) Your taxable value could be adjusted based upon new construction or omitted items were added.
(4) You purchased a new home. Proposal A, which passed in 1994, places an annual cap on the growth of property tax assessments; but when the home is sold, the cap comes off and the assessment reverts to the State Equalized Value (SEV).
My assessed value didn't change, but my taxable value increased. Why?
It was most likely us. All CSZ employees carry a form of identification with them while they are in your neighborhood. We are currently trying to update our records, which are kept at the city or township office. The State of Michigan recommends we have a picture of all properties.
How is assessed value calculated?
All assessed values are calculated according to the State Tax Commission standards. This value is shown as the State Equalized Value or SEV on your tax statement. It is a mass appraisal technique that takes into account the current cost to replicate your house and then depreciates that cost based on the age of the structure. It is then adjusted to market value by comparing the depreciated cost of homes that have sold in your area to their sales price. Each year, assessors are required, by law, to analyze sales by economic neighborhood using a two year sales study to adjust that neighborhood so that assessed values are at 50% of market value.
Why isn't the assessed value half of what I purchased it for?
The assessed value is half of its market value, not its purchase price.
Assessed value changes vary according to the individual characteristics of houses in relation to sales in your area. Building style, size and amenities (i.e. porches, decks, garages, extra bathrooms, etc). The current sales information for your neighborhood may show no value increase over last year's value. However, the taxable value is tied to the Consumer Price Index (see calculation above) and is calculated annually causing an increase in your taxable value.
If you need to find your property lines, you should contact a local surveyor to perform this service. We can provide you your record card which includes your lot size, but we cannot survey or locate stakes on your property.
If you are looking for a subdivision plat, check out this site.
An affidavit must be filed whenever title of real estate or buildings on leased land is transferred. Assessors use the affidavit to make sure that property is assessed properly and receives the correct taxable value.
This document can be obtained from the closing agent (i.e. title office, financial institution or attorney) or you can download the form here . This affidavit must be filed even if you are not recording a deed. Please file this completed form with your local assessor within 45 days of the transfer.
Some transfers are exempt, including changes in ownership solely to exclude or include a spouse, transferring a property into a trust where the sole beneficiary is the creator of the trust or that person's spouse, redemption from a tax sale, or transfer to effect a foreclosure. The back of the affidavit includes instructions as well as outlines the transactions that require and do not require the use of the form.
Michigan State law grants a homestead exemption from local school operating taxes for homesteads and qualified agricultural properties. Currently, this is a reduction of 18 mills of school tax.
To qualify, you must own the property and occupy it as your legal, primary residence. The deadline to qualify for any given year is June 1 or November 1 of that year, based on when the school district levies the operating mileage. Buyers who close and/or occupy the residence after deadlines may be eligible for exemption the following year.
If you stop using your exempt property as your principal residence, but are not selling it, you are required to file a Request to Rescind Homestead Exemption (2602). This form must be filed within 90 days of the change. The exemption remains in effect through December 31 of that year.

Puerto Rico - Rules - The Production Buildings
| << The Buildings | Index | The Violet Buildings >> |
The Production Buildings (blue, white, light and dark brown)
The production buildings are required, together with the plantations, for the production of certain goods.
In the indigo processing plants, the indigo plants and processed to produce indigo dye (blue barrels).
In the sugar mills, the sugar canes and processed into sugar (white barrels).
In the tobacco storage, the tobacco leaves are shredded into tobacco (light brown barrels).
In the coffee roasters, the coffee beans are roasted into coffee (dark brown barrels).
Note: There is no production facility needed for the corn. Corn (yellow barrels) come directly from the plantation without any need for processing. That means that, in the craftsman phase, occupied corn plantations produce corn (yellow barrels) directly.
The number of circles on the production buildings indicates the maximum number of goods the building can produce when the circles have colonists on them. Of course, the player must also have sufficient occupied plantations of the appropriate kind to produce the raw materials needed to produce the goods in the production buildings.
Example (in the style of a web game)
Player name San Juan: 0 Doubloons: 4 VPs: 18
No goods
The player produces the following goods:
2 corn barrels (as the 3rd corn plantation is not occupied)
3 sugar barrels (as the 4th sugar plantation is not occupied)
1 tobacco barrel (as the 2nd circle in the tobacco storage has no colonist)
The raw materials used in production do not exist in this game. In the example above, the players only get the end products of their production. The unused colonists (such as the colonist on the second tobacco plantation and the fourth colonist in the sugar mills) produce nothing!
As described under the craftsman, when a player produces a good and the supply for that good is empty, the player gets nothing.
1 VP
2 VPs
For corn, there is no production building!
The circles on the production buildings indicate the maximum number of goods the building can produce.
When a plantation or building is occupied, the circles change from white to green .
Produced goods appear at the bottom-right of each player's area.

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like if we were able to totally redecorate and redesign our existing homes without having to buy raw materials? You would probably think how that is possible. It is possible using 3d interior design. It can be done within the comforts of your home by using a computer. These are especially helpful as one need not visit home improvement stores to choose the perfect design plan. There are a variety of uses of 3d presentation. Starting from the basics many a free websites offer basic features like pre-made templates, materials, textures, designs, and colors.
You simply select the room template that most matches the conditions you will be working with. There are also applications which allow you to experiment with furniture placement, lighting, wall colors, wallpaper, rugs, fixtures and more.
When it comes to the advantages of 3D interior design; there is a long list to cater to. It saves you tons of money in the long term which would have gone into experimenting with colors, doors, windows, walls etc. It is a lot of fun and will permit you the liberty to carry out some serious interior decorating without spending a penny. Another advantage is the scope it presents to experiment with your ideas and the only investment you put in is your time.
Proficient architect 3D services providers use 3D renderings for landscaping projects, floor designing, lighting effects, exterior designs and interior designs. When 3D interior renderings services are used appropriately, you will be receiving paramount house plans with greater precision. 3D interior designers are experts in creating visualized 3D architecture interiors rendering of residential and commercial buildings. They are highly advantageous as they proffer high class presentation, full project apparition, higher productivity, foretaste for interiors and exteriors and faultless models.
Rendering has a vital role to play in the improvement of architectural design and pre visualization. For architects, the chief rationale is to demonstrate how the future structure or interior room will look. So rendering has turned out to be an imperative process in selling of projects to buyers or designers. This technique presents precise creation to architects and designers.
Architectural design drawing is a famous business resource in architect industry. It is used widely by professional architects to understand the specifications of building designs. Professional architects have developed a guideline for Architectural design drawings and described it as technical drawings of building.
o 2D Drafting Architecture: It is used to refer floor plans, Wall Sections, Elevations, Lighting, Furniture layouts, Foundation plans and Roof Sections.
o 3D architectural Modeling Services: It is used to generate 3D Exterior Models, 3D Interior Models, Cross Section Models and Fixture Assemblies. It is also used in landscaping drawings.
o 3D Architectural Rendering: 3D Exterior Rendering Views, 3D Interior Rendering Views, Furniture 3D Rendering and 3D Product Rendering can be achieved by it.
o 3D Animation and Walkthorugh: It Includes services like Exterior Walkthrough, Interior Walkthrough, Conceptual Walkthrough and Industrial Walkthrough.
So due to the various forms of Drawings, it is used in different areas like interior and exterior planning, urban planning, Ancient Monuments and Institutional Buildings.
Many problems come to the forefront when outsourcing work to foreign countries.
First, difficulty lies with the difference in time. Shanghai, China is thirteen hours ahead of Dallas, Texas while India is ten and a half hours ahead. As a patch, some of these companies have a representative in the United States. This does solve the problem. Their representative is only around to answer phones and does not do any of the work. Now you are involved in a game of passing information from one person to another before it is received by the person that is assigned your work.
Another issue rears its ugly head. You are probably thinking that since we are off cycle, things will be completed faster. Instead, they take additional time. One day turns into two and before you know it, you are weeks behind.
The second issue is the language barrier. There is no question that the representative speaks English. There are still difficulties to overcome when attempting to have your 3d rendering completed. Edits and changes have to be translated. As we all know, the true meaning can easily get lost in translation. Forget about the direct meaning of the words you speak. What about the delivery? Have you ever made a wise crack or sarcastic comment to a foreign customer service representative only to have them take you serious?
Third, their culture is different. All of the pictures in the world will not change that fact that your outsource work will be completed by somebody from a completely different culture. Styles are difficult enough to keep up on when living in the Continental United States. Your architectural visualization piece may be accurately represented but, the landscaping package will have a peculiar look. Now you are relegated to driving neighborhoods and photographing exterior architectural visualization groups.
Finally, how much time do you have? It takes time to manage a team from a foreign country. I bet your time is worth more than any potential savings could possibly make. Imagine saving $200 and spending an additional three to four hours. That is imagining also; odds you are not even going to save $200 on an architectural rendering. Your 3d illustration will require a lot of time and effort to complete.
Delays caused by difference in time zone, lack of English as a primary language and language translation for the working staff eliminate any perceived value. Add in time delays and now you're starting to have a problem. You will have to save a lot, because, the extra management time will make the project time consuming and difficult. You will have to work hard for every nickel you save, if you save any money at all. Take any difference in fee structure and couple it with the extra management time and aggravation and you suddenly have a project that is more expensive to implement. In many cases, the time delays alone are substantial enough to create difficulty.
Fulfill your architectural visualization needs by a company that resides within the United States. You will benefit with reduced management, time and aggravation. Your architectural illustrations can be completed economically without outsourcing.
Save time, money and aggravation by having your architectural visualization project completed within the United States.
To get better design for your interior and exterior, builders and contractors from worldwide are using various architectural services. One can't imagine his future building without using architectural services. Using 3D models you can imagine your future interior and exterior designs on computer.

L'église de l'Intercession-de-la-Vierge sur la Nerl () est un édifice religieux en pierre de taille blanche situé dans l'oblast de Vladimir en Russie, à un kilomètre et demi de Bogolioubovo et à  de Vladimir. C'est un modèle remarquable de l'école architecturale de Vladimir-Souzdal et de l'architecture russe ancienne. Elle est réputée pour l'harmonie de ses dimensions. Son nom est celui de la fête religieuse orthodoxe du , celle de l'Intercession de la Mère de Dieu, instaurée en Russie au milieu du  à l'initiative d'. C'est probablement la première église consacrée à l'Intercession de la Mère de Dieu en Russie. Elle est aussi un des principaux représentants de l'architecture russe pré-mongole sur la liste des édifices de l'époque pré-mongole de la Rus' et, à ce titre, a été inscrite sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1992, au sein des monuments de Vladimir et de Souzdal.

Histoire

La tradition reprend l'année 1165 comme année de construction de l'église de l'Intercession. Selon l'historien Nikolaï Voronine, elle fut construite à la demande d', en souvenir de la mort de son fils, le grand prince . Elle se situait à proximité d'un de ses anciens palais. Les recherches actuelles menées par Sergueï Zagraïevski et , selon les informations provenant de chroniques anciennes, appuient l'hypothèse d'une date plus ancienne de construction, en 1158.

Selon la légende sur la vie d'André Bogolioubski, la pierre de taille blanche nécessaire à la construction de l'église fut ramenée des expéditions d'André Bogolioubski dans le Khanat bulgare de la Volga. Mais cette légende est réfutée comme vérité historique, à la suite des résultats des analyses paléographiques de la pierre de taille utilisée par les constructeurs de l'église.

En 1784, du fait du peu de revenus de l'église de l'Intercession, le supérieur du couvent de Bogolioubov (auquel elle appartenait) projeta d'utiliser des matériaux de celle-ci pour construire un clocher au monastère. Mais il n'eut cependant pas assez de moyens pour commencer les travaux.

Architecture

L'emplacement où est construite l'église de l'Intercession est unique : légèrement en altitude, sur une prairie le long d'une rivière. Dans le passé, près de l'église il existait une embouchure : celle de la Nerl, une rivière, affluent de la Kliazma (le lit actuel de la rivière a changé d'emplacement). L'église se trouvait pratiquement au confluent de deux voies d'eau commerciales importantes. Venant de l'est et du sud-est par la Volga puis l'Oka les marchands et les voyageurs parvenaient jusqu'à la Kliazma à proximité de Vladimir.

L'église de l'Intercession est construite sur des fondations posées à  de profondeur. Celles-ci sont recouvertes de pierres d'une taille de  de long, recouvertes elles-mêmes de terre argileuse pour former le dôme, paré de pierres de taille blanches. En fin de compte, les fondations se retrouvent à une profondeur totale de cinq mètres par rapport à la surface du sol. Cette technique a permis de résoudre les problèmes liés aux débordements de la rivière qui peuvent atteindre cinq mètres de dénivelé durant les grandes crues. Quand ces débordements se produisent l'église semble flotter sur l'eau, le niveau des eaux de la rivière atteignant parfois les seuils de ses portes. Mais elle reste protégée par l'île qui se forme autour d'elle. De l'église du  le volume initial a été conservé sans altération jusqu'à nos jours — de petite taille, de plan carré (environ  si l'on ne tient pas compte de l'abside, la base carrée sous la tourelle dominant l'édifice mesure  de côté). C'est une église à croix inscrite supportée par quatre piliers et comprenant trois absides dont une principale avec des arcatures à colonnes cintrées et des portails garnis de bas-reliefs. Les parois de l'édifice sont parfaitement verticales, mais du fait du choix des proportions idéales, elles semblent inclinées vers l'intérieur ce qui donne l'impression que l'édifice est plus grand qu'il n'est en réalité. Les parties saillantes des façades (frises, bords de toitures des arcades, colonnes des façades) sont soulignées, pour rendre le bâtiment plus élancé. Les fenêtres sont très étroites, ce qui rend l'intérieur de l'église fort sombre pour y tenir des offices religieux sans la lumière de cierges.

Cette architecture héritée de Byzance à plan carré, quatre piliers, trois absides est commune aux églises de Vladimir et Souzdal et à celles de type kiévien telles Sainte-Sophie de Kiev et Sainte-Sophie de Novgorod. Par contre l'emploi des matériaux est sensiblement différent : les églises kiéviennes sont bâties en brique, alors que celles de Vladimir et Souzdal le sont en pierre blanche extraite des carrières de la Kama et amenées par eaux. Elles sont en outre de proportion beaucoup plus réduite.

À l'intérieur, la dimension des colonnes rétrécit vers le haut, ce qui, dans ce bâtiment de taille réduite, donne également une impression de plus grande hauteur.

L'assemblage des pierres des murs au nord et au sud est asymétrique, celui du mur à l'est est très serré. Les dimensions choisies pour les saillants, pour les absides, les traverses des murs permettent toujours de faire ressortir un grand équilibre de proportions de quelque côté qu'elle soit vue. Les nombreux pilastres et les colonnes des murs extérieurs correspondent à la structure de l'ossature intérieure de l'église. Ces colonnes de pierre ressortent de trois quarts des murs et aux angles de l'édifice ce qui donne à l'ensemble un dessin clair et très précis.

Les façades supérieures de l'église sont garnies de bas-reliefs sculptés. Le Roi David, en gloire, tenant un psaltérion dans la main gauche, se signant de deux doigts de la main droite est la figure centrale des façades. Dans la composition de la scène de bas-reliefs apparaissent aussi des lions, des oiseaux, symboles du bien et du mal et des masques féminins.
La principale originalité de l'église de la Nerl et des églises de Vladimir et Souzdal, par rapport aux églises de type kiévien est la richesse de leur décoration plastique. Cette décoration est la conséquence de la construction en pierre de taille. La pierre appelle le relief comme la brique appelle la polychromie. Chaque sculpture correspond à une pierre de parement qui est taillée avant la pose. Ce procédé est le même que celui des églises romanes. Il y a par contre une différence capitale entre la sculpture souzdalienne et la sculpture romane : cette dernière modèle ses figures en haut-relief, la première est presque en méplat. Peut-être est-ce la méfiance de l'Église orthodoxe rétive aux représentations sculptées qui aurait « excommunié » la ronde-bosse. Peut-être est-ce l'influence de l'esthétique orientale qui grave ses formes plutôt qu'elle ne les sculpte. C'est le principe de la décoration arabe.

Dans l'église de la Nerl les bas-reliefs sont espacés et cantonnés au sommet des trois grandes arcatures de la façade. L'ornementation est encore sobre. Dans les tympans latéraux sont sculptés des griffons terrassant des quadrupèdes, puis sept têtes sont rangées au-dessous de ces sculptures et, des deux côtés de la fenêtre centrale, deux lions dont les queues sont terminées par un fleuron et un oiseau. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc insiste sur le caractère asiatique de ces représentations. La sculpture d'ornement se rapproche du faire des artistes syriaques, ainsi que le fait voir l'un des gros chapiteaux de la porte. Quant aux profils, ils rappellent beaucoup plus les profils des édifices de la Syrie centrale que ceux des Byzantins proprement dits

Les fresques murales intérieures des origines ont complètement disparu (ces fresques intérieures furent enlevées lors d'une restauration en 1877). Quant aux bas-reliefs en façade de l'édifice, ils ont, au contraire, donné l'idée à un foisonnement de représentations de ce type aux constructeurs de la région de Souzdal et Vladimir (sur l'Église de la Dormition, par exemple).

Les proportions recherchées et l'harmonie générale qui se dégage de l'édifice a été remarquée par de nombreux historiens d'art et de connaisseurs et l'église de l'Intercession est souvent appelée la plus belle de toute la Russie.

 L'historien d'art, Louis Réau, directeur au début du  du prestigieux Institut français de Saint-Pétersbourg, l'évoquait en des termes tout aussi élogieux.
Cette église sur la Nerl, qui est une réduction de la cathédrale Saint-Dimitri à Vladimir, est une des créations les plus parfaites du génie russe. Cette église a été littéralement copiée à Saint-Pétersbourg dans l'église « du Sauveur sur les eaux » élevée en 1910 par les architectes Pieretiatkovitch et Smirnov en commémoration des marins russes morts à la bataille de Tsousima pendant la guerre russo-japonaise. Elle se trouvait quai des Anglais à Saint-Pétersbourg et fut démolie en 1932.

L'adéquation de cette église au paysage de plaine de la Nerl en fait un exemple parfait d'une des constantes de l'architecture russe. La cathédrale de Strasbourg est impensable en pleine campagne. Les églises russes, bien que beaucoup se situent dans des villes, ne révèlent toute leur valeur esthétique que dans un cadre naturel, dans un paysage de prairies et de bouquets d'arbres, au bord de l'eau. La Russie d'Europe avec ses plaines leur permet de venir rompre la monotonie de ses paysages plats.

Situation actuelle

L'ensemble des prairies sur laquelle a été construite l'église fait actuellement partie d'une zone naturelle protégée (complexe paysager historique de Bogolioubovo). L'église elle-même est inscrite sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco au sein du bien intitulé « monuments de Vladimir et de Souzdal ».

Actuellement l'église se trouve sous la tutelle conjointe du Patriarcat de Moscou et de toute la Russie et du . Des offices religieux ont lieu régulièrement dans l'église, mais en dehors du culte elle est également ouverte comme lieu d'exposition.

Supervised Injection Sites: Will they be a safe-haven or a dwelling of hazards for substance abusers?
Hannah Woodruff
Tumbling down a spiral of drug abuse, opioid users may find themselves at a dead end when it comes to recovery. With treatment and withdrawals disguised as obstacles in their eye, it only becomes easier for them to return to the old, familiar ways every time help comes around. Such matters usually call for traditional methods towards recovery, but modern times have birthed modern solutions. One proposal in particular sticks out for its irony in tackling the issue: supervised substance injection sites.
In recent years, public health advisers have leaned towards opening up these "needle exchange" sites across the nation to combat the backdrop of opioids. These facilities offer a hygienic space for users to inject drugs they already possess while being under the supervision of trained medical staff. Although the intentions behind the sites come from a desperation to prevent further misuse, this isn't the creative solution we need in order to solve the opioid crisis.
Here in Philadelphia, a rampant drug problem has left many with serious concerns. The city has one of the highest opioid death rates in any large cities nationwide, which is why these needle exchange sites are being pushed to launch. Kensington neighborhood is victim to the most frequent and massive use of substance in the entire city, state, and possibly country. A concentration in the drug epidemic here has since gained the attention of the public. Upon hearing this, community health leaders took it upon themselves to collaborate with Safehouse, a nonprofit organization fighting to open injection sites, and a committee of specialized advisors in response to the rising drug addiction. Ronda Goldfein, the vice president of Safehouse, admits that they are in negotiations to operate the facilities. Their goal is to spread sites across the city where drug users can take them under medical supervision in order to prevent overdose.
Angelica Martinez | The Flash FLC Photographer Angelica Martinez
It is well understood that addiction doesn't discriminate when it comes to whom it may affect, nor does it show mercy when users are on the brink of overdosing. The proof is in the stagnant death rates in areas concentrated with drugs. But if it comes down to heavy addiction, no lives will be saved by legally permitting people to take the same drugs killing them in an environment that'll supposedly prevent more death. Even if there were trained professionals bringing them "back to life", this act of revival will only urge users to fall back into an unhealthy cycle of going back-and-forth between substance abuse and coming clean. In fact, some might be discouraged from undergoing proper treatment and encouraged to undermine any effort in curbing the use of illicit drugs. Nothing is safe about any of these "safe" injection sites. At the very least, they are essentially saying that it's completely fine to inject illicit drugs into your body until you nearly OD, as long as there's someone around to have you up and running again. The gravity behind this message will do more harm and is the exact opposite of what these medical practitioners have sworn to do.
Members working for these facilities claim to save lives by preventing overdoses, and while that may be true to an extent, very little evidence backs up their claim to gateway a decline in substance abuse. How effective are the treatment and services offered, really? Say someone was to come close to overdosing, will they face any repercussions once they're brought back? Many questions start to rise when loopholes and loose strings are found in what's promised. Not to mention, the normalization of drug use will be a major consequence in founding such establishments for the sake of reducing harm. There's no denying the impact safe injection sites have had in preventing OD deaths, but it has yet to leave the same prints on decreasing drug use. It makes no sense to allow these facilities to grow in any city, let alone Philadelphia. We shouldn't watch our brothers die in the city of brotherly love, but pulling strings to play God in this case won't lower the rates of the drug abuse that's actually killing them.
Additionally, fostering an environment that accepts illegal substance use is blatant disregard for the laws which made the call to not legalize it in the first place. Despite not providing users with any substance of the kind, needle exchange sites permit them to bring in some that are in their possession already. As we all know, consuming and possessing drugs happens to be illegal, which makes it all the more a nightmare for organizations to have legislators even consider their proposals to open up a site. So for a safe injection site to be funded and running with federal support, knowing their indifference to their consumers bringing their own resources, it doesn't paint a particularly nice image for the importance of these regulations against drugs. This lack of legal consequences will pose more risks and not remedies to society. Opening public facilities associated with injecting drugs challenges the issued policies regarding substance abuse and the trust people have placed in federal authority.
If it has to do with safety, advocates rooting for the safe injection sites will argue that these facilities take into consideration the health of addicts, yet the safety of surrounding communities have not been the conversation starter for them. Once they have left the injection facilities, it's undetermined what other problems the drug users might prompt in the neighborhood. Who would be held responsible had this situation began? If these facilities become commonplace and harmful consequences follow, it is unclear how successful damage control will be. In an attempt to "save lives", the emphasis on that phrase ignores the countless uncertainties and possible harm related to these facilitations. Thus, as mentioned before, there is nothing safe about "safe" injection sites.
We shouldn't watch our brothers die in the City of Brotherly Love, but playing God won't bring back the person we once knew.
Carol Rostucher started the non-profit Angles in Motion (AIM) due to her own personal experience with the impact that substance abuse. ¨My son Drew's substance use disorder. He was living on the streets; I would look for him, let him know I love him, and am there when he's ready.¨ In her journey to help her son, she met people that were going through a similar situation, that is how Angels in Motion was born. Rostucher firmly believes that isolation ¨feeds addiction" the way to fight addiction is to help individuals by showing them love, support, and encouragement. Rostucher supports safe consumption sites, ¨I've lost too many individuals to overdose, if it saves one individual's life it is worth it.¨ Safe consumption sites serve as a beacon of hope for many families that are struggling to win the fight against substance abuse. They should not be pushed aside because they are going through a hard time, they are also human, they deserve to be respected, their voice should not be silenced. ¨Listening to hear their concerns and working with them to find the answers together is huge. Opening minds and educating society to end the stigma that goes hand and hand with addiction. Being there to support and guide without judgement is so important, trying to navigate this system is no easy task… we need to educate individuals about harm reduction so we can keep people alive until they are ready to enter recovery. Helping loved ones understand, keep their boundaries, and still show love and support, in the best way they can for them. Accepting that we are all individuals, and stop trying to tell others what they need, they know themselves better than anyone else; let them decide what type of treatment and/or recovery they feel would work for them.¨ Society should should take wisdom from Rostucher, ¨treating individuals with respect, kindness, and love makes an enormous difference in everyone's journey.¨ Like Rostucher other countries seem to have a more open and understanding view when it comes to helping people facing addiction. For instance, Canada's approach to drug policy is in a collaborative, compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-based approach by using a "Public health lens." According to CATIE, in 2016 there were 2,946 opioid-related deaths in Canada, however from January to September there were 2,923 opioid-related deaths. When the first safe consumption site opened in Vancouver there was a 35% decrease in overdose deaths. There have been about 6,000 visits to safe consumption sites as of March 31, 2018. Canada has about forty-six substance abuse sites that provide a clean and safe environment to use substances which leads to less risk of confrontation with police, drug testing to detect adulterants, emergency medical care (in case of allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) overdose, and cardiac arrest), basic health services, testing for infectious diseases (HIV, STIs, and Hepatitis C), support for staff and health professionals, and access to sterile drug use equipment and a place to safely dispose equipment after use, offer education on harms of drug use and safer consumption practices, referrals or information on housing services, primary health care, community service, mental health treatment, needle exchange programs, and social welfare programs. Contrary to common belief supervised consumption sites do not give out substances. That would be the exact opposite of their goal, the real motive of safe consumption sites is to prevent overdose deaths, make entry to drug treatment services, connection people with basic health and social services, and reduce impact on emergency medical services relating to drug overdoses. With them usually being placed in areas where there is public drug use to help reduce public consumption and discard needles. Located near established illegal drug markets to reach their target audience. Staff at safe consumption sites include social workers, nursing staff, and community workers. The most common question that comes with Supervised Consumption Sites is how are drugs allowed without the individuals getting punished? Possession of controlled substances is prohibited under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA). But for supervised consumption sites there is an exemption, Health Canada grants exemption after satisfactory completion of an application. Moveover, exemptions for new supervised consumption sites are granted for a year, but renewal applications time length depends by past compliance history and the site itself. Over in Germany, their safe consumption site is the non-profit Fixpunkt which provides support for individuals who are on opioid substitution therapy by offering basic health services, counseling for social and mental problems, sterile injecting equipment, supervised drug consumption rooms, and professional assistance in case of an overdose. Staff include doctors, nurses and educators, supported by qualified student assistants and freelancers. According to Astrid Leicht the director of Fixpunkt sites like these need more political and financial support. They share a similar goal to Canada to help individuals who are struggling in the fight against substance abuse, while also helping reduce public nuisance of individuals acting on the streets. As of June 2015 there is about six out of fifithteen available in federal states. While these countries have different languages, different cultures, and different time zones, they share the common beliefs that helping individuals with substance abuse issues is the best way to find light at the end of the tunnel. According, to Medium.com the age of opioid users is mostly high among people ages 35-44 with 35%, coming in second is people ages 25-34 with 30%, people ages 45-54 with 20%, people ages 55 with 10%, and people ages 18-24 with 5%. There are skeptics who are against safe consumption sites without fully knowing the benefits that they have to offer. They offer a safe place that has people who are there to help them with their struggle and even help them survive. It's safer than out in the street or in an abandoned house, where the possibility of them dying from an overdose is greater compared to the very low chance of them dying of an overdose in a safe consumption site. This leads the clear path towards health care and can decrease the spreading of disease. Throughout the many safe consumption sites there have been zero overdoses. They offer social services that will help them to the journey down the right track towards a better life, a life free of addiction.

Share this Story: Another business closure adds to mounting job losses in Sarnia-Lambton
Another business closure adds to mounting job losses in Sarnia-Lambton
After 57 years of operation, Ethyl Corporation is closing its Corunna facility.
The company sent a letter to neighbours dated Oct. 21, stating Ethyl has decided to "cease operations at the Corunna site," and has sold the property.
There are nearly 30 employees and contractors currently working at the plant.
The letter also states Ethyl's employees will wrap up operations and vacate the property on or before Nov. 15.
"This was a long and somewhat painful process for us to go through ... we recognize we are affecting folks' lives," said John Street, Ethyl Corporation's director of health, safety and environment.
In May, the company announced layoffs after discontinuing production of a fuel additive at the plant due to the loss of its supplier.
Although the corporation was not actively seeking to sell the facility, an offer was made that the company ultimately could not refuse, Street said.
While he could not comment on who is purchasing the property, Street said it "does sound like the sire is going to be repurposed.
Spokespersons at Shell and Nova Chemicals, two of Ethyl's industrial neighbours in Corunna, said their companies aren't the purchaser.
The news about Ethyl closing comes less than a week after it was announced the Ontario Government has no plans to convert the coal-fired Lambton Generating Station to natural gas and spare some of the Courtright power plant's 250 jobs.
"Any time there's a job loss it's personal, because it impacts on people within the community," said Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley, chairperson of the Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership that works to attract industry and jobs to the region.
He said that's why Sarnia-Lambton officials continue to "look at other directions and to support what's here in the existing industry."
Bradley said he's hopeful there may be some good news for the community later this year.
The Corunna plant blended fuel and lubricant additives, and produced the diesel fuel Centane.
Ethyl announced in 2004 it was closing one of four units in Corunna. The facility that once made the gasoline additive tetraethllead was to be decommissioned and removed. It had already been sitting idle for a decade.
Tetraethllead was introduced in the 1920s as an additive to gasoline to make engines run more smoothly and efficiently.
But worldwide demand declined since the introduction of automotive pollution controls systems and with the use of unleaded gasoline.
Ethyl joins a long list of companies that have closed operations in Sarnia-Lambton in recent years.
Sarnia-Lambton job-loss roll call:
• Zellers closed its Sarnia store this year, ending 100 jobs;
• The NCO call centre that closed in 2012 employed 1,500 people at one point;
• The province closed Hiawatha Slots in 2012, ending 140 jobs;
• Fibrex Insulations closed in 2011, ending 140 jobs;
• Startek closed its Sarnia call centre in 2010, ending 400 jobs;
• Woodbridge Foam, employer of 250 at one time, closed in 2010;
• UBE closed its auto parts plant in 2009, a loss of 255 jobs;
• Dow Chemical left Sarnia in 2009, eliminating 340 direct jobs and 40 contractor positions.

Florida Supreme Court Addresses Validity of Offers of Settlement that Fail to Mention Attorney's Fees in Cases Where the Complaint Does Not Seek Fees
Kuhajda v. Borden Dairy Co. of Alabama, LLC, 41 Fla. L. Weekly S 471 (Fla. Oct. 20, 2016)
The Florida Supreme Court recently decided the question of whether an offer of settlement under section 768.79(1), Florida Statutes, is invalid when the offer of judgment fails to address attorney's fees pursuant to Fla. R. Civ. P. Rule 1.442(c)(2)(F) and attorney's fees were not sought in the pleadings.
In Kuhajda, a negligence case, plaintiff did not seek attorney's fees in her complaint. Plaintiff served identical offers of judgment on the defendants, consisting of all damages or monies recoverable under the complaint and by law, as well as costs and interest. The defendants did not accept the offers of judgment and the case proceeded to trial. Plaintiff recovered a judgment that was at least 25% greater than her offer. The trial court granted Plaintiff's motion to tax attorney's fees and costs pursuant to section 768.79(1) and Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.442(c)(2)(F).
Even though section 768.79(1), Florida Statutes, does not require the attorney's fees language mandated in Fla. R. Civ. P. Rule 1.442(c)(2)(F), the First DCA held on appeal that Plaintiff was required to strictly comply with Fla. R. Civ. P. Rule 1.442(c)(2)(F). That rule requires that a proposal "shall . . . state whether the proposal includes attorney's fees and whether attorney's fee are part of the legal claim." The First DCA reversed the trial court's order granting attorney's fees and costs because Plaintiff's proposal did not contain the information about attorney's fees pursuant to rule 1.442(c)(2)(F).
The Florida Supreme Court accepted jurisdiction to review Kuhajda based on the First DCA's certification that its decision was in direct conflict with the Fourth DCA's decision in Bennett v. American Learning Systems of Boca Delray, Inc., 857 So. 2d 986 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003).
The Florida Supreme Court began its analysis by noting that section 768.79, Florida Statutes, provides for a substantive right to attorney's fees, which is implemented by the procedural framework in rule 1.442. The Court noted its prior holding in Diamond Aircraft Industries, Inc. v. Horowitch, 107 So. 3d 362 (Fla. 2013), which held that an offer of judgment was invalid because it failed to state whether attorney's fees were part of the claim. The complaint in Diamond Aircraft demanded attorney's fees, which created an ambiguity in the offer of settlement that did not mention attorney's fees.
Where attorney's fees are not sought in the complaint, the requirement of rule 1.442(c)(2)(F) is "totally irrelevant" to the settlement of the case, the Kuhajda Court explained. The Court went on to express that Plaintiff's offers of judgments will not be invalidated solely for violating a procedural requirement in rule 1.442 that is not required by the applicable statute. The Supreme Court held that "if attorney's fees are not sought in the pleadings an offer of settlement is not invalid for failing to state whether the proposal includes attorney's fees and whether attorney's fees are part of the legal claim."
The Florida Supreme Court concluded that Plaintiff is entitled to attorney's fees under section 768.79, Florida Statutes, reasoning that Plaintiff complied with the pertinent requirements of rule 1.442 that implement the statute's substantive requirements. The offers of judgment were not ambiguous because Plaintiff did not request attorney's fees in her complaint.
As a result of its holding, the Court quashed the First DCA's decision under review and approved the Fourth DCA's decision in Bennett.

These are my first pair of real audiophile headphones and I have to say they are amazing. They feel great and I don't get fatigued from them. I can only compare them to the Sennheiser HD 598s, which seem to have a higher timbre and not as warm (I don't really have a trained ear, just what I'm hearing). The 6XXs make everything crispy and bounce how it should (for hip-hop) and really draw out guitars and vocals. In a quiet room it actually sounded like I was in the studio with the artist, something I didn't feel with the HD 598s. I'm using it with a Schiit Fulla 2 DAC/Amp which powers them just fine.
Thanks for nice review,you use on mobile phone? I am tempted to get fulla2.

Q: How to keep values of radio elements SOLVED:
I am using jQuery to allow a user to dynamically add fields to a form and I am requiring that they select certain yes and no values. When I clone the row I need to keep the values on input radio elements but not on the text element. I was expecting that this would do it but no luck.
How would I keep the values on the radio elements?
Also when the previous node has radios selected the cloning duplicates the selection information. I DON'T want that to happen.
HTML:

    <input type="text" name="custom-name[0]" value=""/>

    <input type="radio" name="haswood[0]" value="yes"/>Yes
    <input type="radio" name="haswood[0]" value="no"/>No

    <input type="radio" name="hasmetal[0]" value="yes"/>Yes
    <input type="radio" name="hasmetal[0]" value="no"/>No

    <input type="radio" name="hasplastic[0]" value="yes"/>Yes
    <input type="radio" name="hasplastic[0]" value="no"/>No

Add Row

JQuery:
$cloneNode = $( ".clone-node" );

$cloneNode.click(function(){
    var $newNode = $(".dynamic-node:last").clone(true);
    $newNode.find('input').each(function() {
        var $this = $(this);
        $this.attr('name', $this.attr('name').replace(/\[(\d+)\]/, function($0, $1) {
            return '[' + (+$1 + 1) + ']';
        }));
        $this.val('');
    });
    $newNode.insertAfter('.dynamic-node:last');
});

Solution:
Thanks to commenters below and borrowing their fresh set of eyes I resolved this by extending the code a little and making adjustment to elements based on their type and my needs:
$cloneNode = $( ".clone-node" );

$cloneNode.click(function(){
    var $newNode = $(".dynamic-node:last").clone(true);
    $newNode.find('input').each(function() {
        var $this = $(this);
        $this.attr('name', $this.attr('name').replace(/\[(\d+)\]/, function($0, $1) {
            return '[' + (+$1 + 1) + ']';
        }));

        if( $this.is('input:text') ) {
            $this.val('');
        }
        if( $this.is('input:radio') ) {
            $this.prop('checked', false);
        }
    });
    $newNode.insertAfter('.dynamic-node:last');
});

After reading so many fantastic reviews about this place, I left feeling a little bit disappointed. The food was unexceptional and the place was more like a takeaway shop than a dine in restaurant. Nevertheless the service was great as were the prices.
We couldn't decide whether to get the cheese naan or the garlic naan, so our waitress suggested that we get both. It was a great choice as this naan was simply soft and delicious!
The food here was certainly impressive and the portions were good, while the service was prompt and the atmosphere casual. This place is one of the better Indian restaurants that I have been to in a while, and undoubtedly worth a visit.

AVID program supports low-income students' quest for college
The desks in seventh-grade teacher Zachary Cummings' AVID classroom at Hamilton Middle School are arranged so that students can work in groups. Collaboration is one of the five hallmarks of AVID, along with reading, writing, inquiry, and organization.
Cummings' students recently quizzed each other on Cornell notes they took on a PowerPoint presentation about the history of Apple Inc. Cornell notes are just one example of college-level study techniques students learn in AVID, a global nonprofit organization directed at students who are capable of completing a college-preparatory path if they receive the proper support. The focus is on low-income students whose families don't traditionally attend college.

Summer program gives rising sixth-graders a taste of middle school life
Incoming sixth-grader Taylor, 10, believes it's important to protect the bee population, and she thinks she knows ways to do so. "Planting flowers will help attract bees so they can make more honey," she said as she put marigold seeds into a small decorated pot.
This was only one of the many lessons she and several other soon-to-be sixth-graders learned during their two weeks in the Summer Bridge program, made possible by the federally-funded Race to the Top grant the district received, at Holland Middle School.
Students planted flowers as one way to help improve the bee population, discussing the reasons bees were threatened, and ways they could help save them. It was all part of a day's work that integrated the mini-ecology lesson into other areas such as mathematics, reading, improving critical thinking skills, leading discussions, and other subjects.

Ortiz Middle School Principal Noelia Longoria
HISD is launching a new program this year designed to increase student achievement "from the middle." The Lead Principal Initiative pairs highly effective principals with other campus leaders at similar schools to spread the district's best practices more effectively.
"'Leading from the middle' refers to influencing from among, rather than from above, below, or in front of one's group," explained HISD School Services Officer Lupita Hinojosa. "It implies positioning ourselves alongside of those we've empowered and working shoulder to shoulder with them."
