The Big Bold American: 2015 Chrysler 300 sedan
Ken Chester Jr.
Motor News Media Corporation
With roots that include the breakthrough 1955 and 2005 models, the new 2015 Chrysler 300 takes the nameplate's style and sophistication to new levels. Highlighting six decades of ambitious American ingenuity through iconic design proportions and inspired materials, world-class quality and craftsmanship, best-in-class highway fuel economy, plus class-exclusive innovations, the 2015 Chrysler 300's heritage-inspired styling combined with world-class execution makes the large sedan stand apart from the competition.
For 2015, a redesigned front fascia features a more sculptured surface, taller more prominent grille with a unique dimensional texture and chrome grille surround. The grille contains the Chrysler wing badge, which appears to float within the dramatic grille texture and features the new "face of Chrysler." Nestled below the upper grille is an elegantly drawn chrome Mobius strip, which outlines the lower grille opening and extends outward, surrounding the new optional LED fog lamps. This new detail reinforces the Chrysler brand's new design direction and provides the Chrysler 300 with even more visual presence.
From the side, unmistakably strong, yet subtly executed shoulder lines pay homage to the Chrysler 300 series design heritage and define the correlation between front and rear wheel arches. A high beltline stays true to the sedan's signature proportion, while its elegantly tailored chrome side window surrounds and available chrome mirrors hint at the luxurious interior within. Seven new wheel designs, ranging from 17 inches to wider and wheel-well-filling 20 inches, provide the new Chrysler 300 with a planted, road-holding look.
Finishing the sedan's powerful rear stance is a new sculpted LED taillamp with an illuminated halo, providing a unique signature appearance. A restyled rear fascia has a more fluid surface and features a tailored chrome fascia trim accent. Below, a new lower valance in black provides visual width and lightens the appearance of the sedan. Last, a pair of elegantly drawn and polished exhaust tips are placed at the corners to give an upscale athletic appearance.
For the 2015 model year, the lineup has been revamped with four highly equipped models: 300 Limited, 300S, 300C and 300C Platinum. Base power for the 2015 Chrysler 300 sedan is generated by a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine and bolted to a 845RE TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. Upmarket models are equipped with the automaker's legendary 5.7L HEMI V8 prime mover and joined to an 8HP70 TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission with Auto Stick.
The 2015 Chrysler 300 sedan rides on an enthusiast-inspired rear-wheel-drive architecture. The chassis of the large new Chrysler sedan is designed, engineered and fine-tuned to deliver world-class performance and efficiencies, thanks to its advanced technological solutions, which include: electric power steering; all-new, lighter weight axles for RWD and AWD configurations; and all-new cast-aluminum axles and axle housing provide weight savings and help to reduce parasitic friction.
Inside the passenger cabin is an interior wrapped in American style with world-class materials, craftsmanship and technology. Passengers are immersed in a sophisticated blend of hand-sculpted fluid shapes, high-quality and innovative material choices inspired by American cities, precision craftsmanship, state-of-the-art technology and thoughtful, clever features.
From its updated award-winning Uconnect Access system, to the availability of Uconnect Access services with roadside assistance, theft-alarm notification, voice texting, the ability to turn the vehicle into a Wi-Fi hotspot, 3-D navigation and segment-exclusive premium BeatsAudio and Harman Kardon audio systems, the 2015 Chrysler 300 delivers a slew of high-tech features for a luxurious driving experience at a value.
With its available mobile phone app, Chrysler 300 owners can start their vehicle, and lock or unlock doors, while away from the vehicle. Chrysler 300 owners also can access on-demand Wi-Fi, making their car a moving hotspot.

Grand Marais Air Force Station (ADC ID: M-109) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station. It is located 0.5 miles (0.80 km) south of Grand Marais, Michigan. It was closed in 1957.
Grand Marais Air Force Station was established in 1954 by Air Defense Command as one of a planned deployment of forty-four Mobile radar stations to support the permanent ADC Radar network in the United States sited around the perimeter of the country. This deployment was projected to be operational by mid-1952. Funding, constant site changes, construction, and equipment delivery delayed deployment.
This site became operational in December 1954 when the 906th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was moved to the new station from Willow Run AFS, Michigan. Operations began in early 1956, using an AN/TPS-1D radar, and initially the station functioned as a Ground-Control Intercept (GCI) and warning station. As a GCI station, the squadron's role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit's radar scopes.
Budget cuts closed the station in November 1957 and the 906th AC&W Squadron was inactivated. The station was transitioned into a "Gap Filler" unmanned site (P-66A), equipped with an AN/FPS-18 radar controlled by Sault Sainte Marie AFS, Michigan until 1968.
It was excessed to the GSA and conveyed to Mr. and Mrs. Willard Handrich, who use the site as a residence and the structures for storage purposes.
The communications and support equipment was apparently removed prior to the time of sale. Seven structures remained from the original base construction, including the enlisted men's barracks, officer's quarters, radar, power generation, and maintenance buildings and the well house. The well, which is located on the site, supplies the water system for the town of Grand Marais.
Superior Wood Products acquired the use of the property rights in 1960 and operated a sawmill and wood products manufacturing concern until 1966, when it went bankrupt and the property returned to Mr. Handrich. He operated a sawmill and wood products manufacturing concern, Grand Marais Industries, from 1966 to 1978. The sawmill utilized the former maintenance and vehicle storage building, to which another structure was added.
Today the site is overgrown and abandoned. A few foundations of torn down buildings are visible in aerial imagery, a few others are standing unused and deteriorating.


Liberal activists and members of the Democratic Party protested outside of the Department of Justice Thursday afternoon, demanding Attorney General Jeff Sessions' resignation.
"False testimony counters any right you have to remain Attorney General of the United States of America," Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said of Sessions to the 200 or so protesters gathered outside the building on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.
Jackson Lee said she and others in Congress will send a letter to President Trump, "asking him to seek the resignation of his attorney general, or to fire him on the spot" if he doesn't step down.
The activists also demanded that a successor appoint a special prosecutor to oversee an investigation into potential Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election.
"The Trump administration has a staff infection," Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin told the crowd. "They say he should recuse himself, we say resign," he continued.
"There will be a legal, nonviolent demonstration outside the Department of Justice at 12:00 p.m. today," an email from the rapid response team of the Democratic National Committee said shortly before 11:00 a.m. ET Thursday.
"Jeff Sessions cannot oversee the investigation into the Trump administration's ties to Russia," the email asserted. "But recusing himself from the investigation is no longer enough — Sessions must resign as Attorney General," the email continued.
Sessions is under intense scrutiny after news emerged the former senator met twice with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the fall, just months before the November elections.
While it is not unusual for a senator to meet with foreign ambassadors, the attorney general did not disclose the interactions during his Senate confirmation hearing earlier this year.

El Evangelio de Mani , Evangelio viviente (también Evangelio de los vivos y variantes) fue un  evangelio gnóstico escrito por Mani. Originalmente fue escrito en  siríaco y se llamó Evangelion (siríaco: ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ), del griego: εὐαγγέλιον (" evangelio (cristianismo)")  y fue una de las siete escrituras originales del Maniqueísmo.  Se conservan varios fragmentos en el  Mani-Codex de Colonia  (descubierto en 1969) y en fragmentos de manuscritos encontrados en Turfan a partir de 1904.  Algunos fragmentos de manuscritos coptos recuperados en Fayyum parecen contener una especie de comentario u homilía sobre el evangelio.

Historia

Al-Biruni, que todavía tenía acceso al texto completo, comentó que era un "evangelio de un tipo especial", a diferencia de cualquiera de los evangelios de los cristianos, y que los maniqueos insistían en que el suyo era el único verdadero  evangelio, y que los varios evangelios de los cristianos tergiversaron la verdad sobre el Mesías.  conocido como  Ertenk  o Arzhang   (Persa antiguo: artha-thanha  ≈ "mensaje de la verdad") o  El libro ilustrado .  El  Ardhang  era de hecho un libro ilustrado,  dado el nombre de' 'Eikōn' 'en griego y copto.  Este era un libro que contenía ilustraciones para acompañar y facilitar la comprensión de la cosmología de Mani.  Focio (o pseudo-Focio) comenta sobre el texto, diciendo que contiene un relato falsificado de algunos de los actos de Jesús,  mientras que Pedro de Sicilia insiste en que no contiene tal material.

Se sabe que el evangelio tenía 22 partes, cada una etiquetada con una letra diferente del alfabeto arameo.  La combinación de dos fragmentos de Turfan permite la reconstrucción del texto de la primera parte ( alaph ).  La sección trata sobre la naturaleza del "Rey del Mundo de la Luz" que reside en el "Ombligo del Mundo" pero también está presente en toda su tierra, desde fuera como desde dentro, sin límites excepto donde su tierra limita con  el de su enemigo, el "Reino de las Tinieblas".  Schneemelcher (1990) sugiere tentativamente que el texto puede haber sido diseñado como un evangelio del tipo gnóstico, quizás con la intención de comentar o reemplazar el evangelio cristiano.

Garage fire in Jefferson Township on W. 3rd St.
JEFFERSON TWP. — UPDATE @ 10 a.m.

National Parks: Top 10 Kids' Books
The Children's Book Review | May 13, 2015
A few weeks back, April 18-26, it was National Park week: the annual celebration of national heritage. According to the National Park Service (NPS), US National Parks supported over 292 million recreational visitors in 2014. Historically, US recreation visits per capita are down 2.5% from 10 years earlier (2004) and down 7% from 20 years earlier (1994). While the trends are not necessarily alarming, they do point to some diminished national interest … or perhaps we are more distracted … or it's just easier to get to other destinations … or … .
Educating our children on coveted natural and unnatural treasures will help preserve our heritage. Most of the National Parks offer fun and interactive education tools for children; such as the NPS Junior Ranger program: an activity based program conducted in almost all parks. At Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota, children are offered a chance to become a Junior Ranger (badge and all) if they can answer questions about the monument's construction, thought leaders, and fun facts about the natural surroundings. It's a wonderful program for all ages (grown-ups, too), especially kids between the ages of 5 to 13.
For those of you planning to take your kids to a national park in 2015, here are some excellent books you need to take along for the ride:

Where Is Mount Rushmore?
By True Kelley
Publisher's Synopsis: It was world-famous sculptor Gutzon Borglum's dream to carve sixty-foot-high likenesses of four presidents on a granite cliff in South Dakota. Does that sound like a wacky idea?

Borglum faced a lot of opposition and problems at every turn; the blasting and carving carried out through the years of the Great Depression when funding for anything was hard to come by. Yet Mount Rushmore now draws almost three million visitors to the Black Hills every year. This is an entertaining chronicle of one man's magnificent obsession, which even today sparks controversy.

5 Reassuring Picture Books for...


For anyone walking the back streets of Darlinghurst on Friday afternoon, the opening of the APY Gallery was hard to miss.
While hundreds of patrons excitedly looked at the artworks, the large contingent of Anangu Elders and artists that had travelled from their remote communities in the APY Lands for the occasion, sat and conversed on the side of the kerb across the street, partly from shyness and partly in disbelief at the spectacle their work had created.
The desert mob had come to the city, and with them, they brought their magic.
The APY Gallery opening atrractted about 600 people.
The two-story APY Gallery, located in prime real estate just a few blocks from the National Art School, wasn't large enough to hold the crowd that came to the grand opening.
The gallery is the first of its kind — fully Aboriginal-artist owned and led; the APY Gallery will provide a unique space for emerging artists from remote communities in the APY Lands, near Alice Springs, to showcase their work in Sydney. With this also comes the possibility to engage in artist in residence programs, develop their skills, and grow their profiles. The initiative will also allow buyers to purchase genuine, ethically sourced works, straight from the source. Proceeds will go to maintaining the ten art centres that make up the APY Art Centre Collective and their artists.
For these artists, it's the stuff dreams are made of: "We have expanded the APY, from the desert to the coastland," Anangu artist Vincent Namatjira tells me.
The vision for the Sydney gallery had been on the boil for five years. Vincent tells me the idea came from renowned Indulkana community Elder and Anangu artist, Peter Mungkuri.
Sitting proudly in front of one of the paintings while sporting a brand-new Akubra hat, Peter tells me the gallery is the Elders' legacy for the next generation of artists.
"[This is] for the young people, you know. That's why we're opening here. Young people have to become working. … and at APY we're teaching all that," he says.
APY Art Centre CollectiveDirector, Nyurpaya Kaika, agrees.
"Everyone needs a job and the art centres are the only place where there are real jobs on the APY Lands, so we need to keep our art centres strong. We are thrilled to be sharing our powerful art and culture with our friends in Sydney," she says.
And when the Elders, many of them established artists, say the gallery is their gift to the next generation, it's not an exaggeration.
"A significant component of the start-up capital came from the Art Centres themselves," Skye O'Meara, APY Art Centre Collective Manager says.
Many of the works on display at the opening sold on the APY Gallery's inaugural two days.
Ms O'Meara also says the gallery wouldn't have come to fruition without a little extra help. Everyone chipped in — even the builders and tradies that refurbished the gallery space saw the value their venture and gave them a good deal.
"We also received support from two very generous young philanthropists, Clare Ainsworth Herschell and Amanda Maple-Brown. Both of these young women have in a short period of time grown very strong relationships with Anangu Elders from various communities. They have become great friends with the Elders, artists, and staff," she adds.
The APY Gallery takes a 20% commission and the remaining 80% of each sale is returned to the community. In their first weekend, the gallery sold over 50 works from young and emerging artists.
"The income, of course, is fabulous, but this is a unique model which allows art centres within APY Communities a new capacity to create sustainable employment opportunities, real jobs, for young people across the lands, in their own communities," Ms O'Meara explains.
"These Artists are largely under the age of 40 and do not have commercial representation. They have very few opportunities to sell their works and develop their profiles, outside of our model. The Indigenous Art Industry has always preferred the work of senior artists, but it is time to embrace and celebrate artists of all ages. It's time to embrace Indigenous owned business and for young Indigenous artists to have the same opportunities as non-Indigenous artists," she adds.
For Anangu artist Robert Fielding, the opening is a great triumph.
"We finally got this opportunity and we got this space now. This is our space and it belongs to APY and you can buy direct from Indigenous people and you know, to have this one-on-one contact," he says.
When asked if the new APY Gallery has the potential to disrupt the traditional Aboriginal art market in Sydney, Robert quickly clarifies both worlds can coexist.
"[We] don't want to offend all these [big] other galleries. We're still working with them because we still need those outlets. We still have to have that relationship with those galleries," he explains.
The APY Art Centre Collective is an organisation made of 10 Indigenous-owned and governed Art Centres based on the APY Lands, the far northern tip of South Australia. Iwantja Arts, Mimili Maku Arts, Ernabella Arts, Kaltjiti Arts, Tjala Arts, Tjungu Palya Art Centre Maruku Arts, Tjanpi Desert Weavers, and Ara Irititja Aboriginal Corporation.
Four migrants, one story: Finding their identity and sense of place in Australia, whilst being wedged between two worlds.
Who really benefits from the multi-million dollar Aboriginal art trade?
International art auction records are expected to be smashed in Sydney with Emily Kame Kngwarreye's 'Earth's Creation I' going under the hammer. Who benefits?

Junior Men's Eight Golden at 2005 Junior World Rowing Champs
USRowing
The U.S. junior men's eight won the gold medal on Saturday to highlight the final day of competition at the 2005 FISA Junior World Rowing Championships in Brandenburg, Germany.
While the race was tight throughout, the crew of Jimmy Germano (Pomona, N.J.), Mike Gilson (San Francisco, Calif.), Clayton Sachs (Lincoln, Mass.), Jesse Johnson (Mercer Island, Wash.), Neil Stanga (Arlington, Va.), Neil McPeak (Linwood, N.J.), Henrik Rummel (Vaerloose, Denmark), Michael Rossidis (Garden City, N.Y.) and Derek Johnson (Hillsborough, Calif.) led at every 500-meter split and pulled away during the last quarter of the race for a 1.67-second victory over Germany. The U.S. held a narrow 0.10-second margin over the Germans after 500 meters and was in a virtual dead heat, only 0.01 seconds ahead of New Zealand, at the midway point of the race. That's when the U.S. began to make its move, building a 0.8-second advantage over Germany and a 1.5-second advantage over New Zealand with 500 meters to go. The U.S. then pulled away, finishing with a time of 5:58.08. Germany held off a hard-charging Romania for second place, stroking a 5:59.75 to Romania's 5:59.89. Russia finished fourth, with New Zealand falling to fifth. France rounded out the field in sixth place. The victory marked the first time the U.S. had won the event since 1992.
The junior women's eight of coxswain Ariel Frost (Oakland, Calif.), Jenny Cromwell (Bellevue, Wash.), Alie Fishman (Dallas, Texas), Ellie Logan (Boothbay Harbor, Maine), Lauren Hofmayer (Orinda, Calif.), Erin Knox (Snohomish, Wash.), Elizabeth Demers (Andover, Mass.), Annie Gayman (Seattle, Wash.) and Caitlin McGrath (Westport, Conn.) just missed a medal after finishing fourth. The crew battled Romania for second place for the first half of the race and held a slight edge on Great Britain with 500 meters to go. However, the British boat's sprint was just too much as it pulled away from the Americans during the last quarter of the race. Germany went wire-to-wire for the victory, clocking a 6:46.69. Romania finished second in a 6:48.72, while Great Britain won the bronze medal with a 6:50.94. The U.S. stroked a 6:53.95, followed by Russia and the Czech Republic.
The junior men's four with coxswain of Zach Vlahos (Piedmont, Calif.), Adam Jones (Pomona, N.J.), Lucas Spielfogel (Boca Raton, Fla.), Bradley Wernst (Falls Village, Conn.) and Tyler Montgomery (Baltimore, Md.) also finished fourth, just missing a medal. While Germany led from start to finish, the U.S. boat battled Canada for third place for much of the race and sat in medal position with 500 meters to go. However, Poland was able to pass the crew in the final few meters to finished third and earn the bronze medal. Germany stroked a 6:22.19 for the victory, while Italy finished second with a time of 6:23.27. Poland earned the bronze medal by clocking a 6:32.25, while the U.S. finished in a 6:32.83. Canada and Serbia and Montenegro rounded out the top six finishers.
The junior women's pair of Desiree Burns (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) and Kari Stenbakken (Sammamish, Wash.) finished fifth in its final. The duo sat in fifth position off of the start and was able to move into fourth place with 500 meters to go. However, Burns and Stenbakken were never able to mount a challenge for a top three position and a spot on the medal stand. Romania led the race from wire-to-wire to win the gold medal with a time of 7:28.03. Germany finished second in a 7:31.26, followed by Italy in a 7:33.10. Bulgaria finished fourth in a 7:44.16, followed by the U.S. in a 7:45.57.
The junior women's four of Jordan Peek (Jacksonville, Fla.), Adrienne Mecham (Lake Stevens, Wash.), Sara Gribler (Marysville, Wash.) and Lori Gordon (Winchester, Mass.) finished sixth in the final. The quartet was never able to challenge for a medal, coming home in a 7:10.87. Italy won the gold medal with a time of 6:59.82. Belarus won the silver medal by clocking a 7:04.25, while Germany finished third in a 7:05.66. Poland and New Zealand finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

Heckman refers to the evidences that late investments do not pay off. Late learning costs money, including foregone earnings, but it only modestly increases wage rates and generates less human capital, since investments are made closer to retirement.
Heckman also criticizes the excessive attention to formal education, which is all about a few narrow cognitive abilities and in any case just one of many ways to acquire skills.
This paper was published in 2000. To count how many of its insights made it into government policies, I looked into the 2013 Economic Report of the President. This report includes a chapter on human capital.
The chapter discusses three things. First, labor inputs of women and immigrants. Second, rising debt and enrollment bias in college education. Third, educational opportunities for adults. So, formal education and adult learning?
Why does this influential publication promote the exact policies that Heckman criticized fifteen years ago? Alan Krueger — who edited the 2013 report — is a brilliant labor economist himself. The entire Council of Economic Advisors is well staffed. So it's not about competence.
The problem seems to be in the complexity of the policies that Heckman proposes. When economists remind the Congress about student debt, they have better chances of being heard than economists who suggest targeted programs in preschool education. Student debt is something that even US presidents had. Preschool education? TL;DR.
But rephrasing Neil deGrasse Tyson, science is true whether you read it or not. The complex stuff still explains well why policies fail when consensus is reached.
For the United States, this complex stuff is about fine-tuning the system that works well. For the middle-income countries, on the other hand, ignorance is costlier, not least because these countries tend to aggravate mistakes with more government intervention. Policy makers in these countries often frame human capital accumulation as another industrialization. Like, if we could raise savings-investments to 50% of GDP, we can accumulate human capital in the same way. Obviously, it doesn't work this way; and for BRICS, it's an important challenge.
As for the least developed countries, the major innovators out there are international organizations, which recently got an open letter from Chris Blattman asking to "stop hurting" poor people with skill training programs. For the same reason: the programs don't work as intended; even if being accumulated, this human capital solves no important problem.
"Stop hurting" is a good suggestion because it encourages policy makers to do less, which is the idea they like. The second part is more difficult: stop hurting and accept better policies. Some of the better policies look unconventional but remain as simple as training programs. Their main disadvantage is that they are not invented here, that is, in government. And before anything happens, someone has to market these policies as if they were government's genuine invention.

If you have seen a property that you would like to view you can use the contact form on each of the individual property details pages to arrange a viewing or make an enquiry, or alternatively, you can give us a call.
If you have a specific type of property in mind we can take details of your requirements and contact you should a suitable property become available.
Before commencing with the tenancy we will need to obtain satisfactory references from your employer and/or a previous or current landlord. There may also be instances when we require a personal reference or guarantor. We may also use the services of an independent referencing agency to obtain and evaluate these references. Personal & photographic identification may also be required, such as a passport or driving licence.
Once the terms have been agreed by both parties and satisfactory references received, the relevant documentation will need to be signed by you and the landlord.
We ask that you pay this to cover the administration costs of preparing the tenancy documentation and costs of credit reference checks. The fee is usually submitted at the time of application. Should the application fail, or is withdrawn, the cost is non refundable.
Before the start of the tenancy, an inventory is prepared detailing the contents and condition of the property. You will be provided with a copy and so will the landlord.
Prior to the commencing of the tenancy, we will require a deposit and the first rental payment, a month in advance. Your deposit will be treated under the tenancy deposit protection scheme (DPS), which is a scheme accredited by the Government.
As part of the Housing Act 2004 the Government has introduced tenancy deposit protection for all assured shorthold tenancies (ASTs) in England and Wales where a deposit is taken. From April 6th 2007, all deposits paid under an AST have had to be protected within 14 calendar days of receipt by the agent/landlord.
How the DPS Scheme works?
The tenant pays the landlord or letting agent their deposit.
The letting agent/landlord pays the money in to the DPS scheme with 14 days of receiving it.
Upon receipt of the deposit, the DPS provides confirmation and details of the protection scheme to the letting agent/landlord and tenant.
When the tenancy comes to an end, the letting agent/landlord and tenant agree repayment of the deposit including any interest accrued, usually within 10 days.
In the case of any dispute, The DPS return any undisputed monies plus interest to the relevant party, but hold the disputed portion until the Alternative Dispute Resolution Service (ADR) or courts decide what is fair.
Your deposit cannot be used to pay your rent.
Once the tenancy has been signed and rents & deposits have cleared, the tenancy can proceed. You can now collect the keys to your new home.
Can I have pets in my new home?
You must consult us prior to obtaining a pet.
What if I find any faults or repairs that need addressing?
If you find any problems with the property you are renting, you should contact us immediately. Once we have been informed of any issues/faults we will instruct the landlord and await their instruction.
Can I decorate the property?
You must consult us prior to carrying out any changes to the property. We will contact the landlord and await his permission.
Do I have to pay for Council Tax & Utility Bills?
As a tenant you will be responsible for any utility bills like water, gas, electric as well as council tax, unless there is a special arrangement with the landlord of the property. You will also be responsible for a TV license at the property, if you watch TV without a license you risk being fined. Please check the tenancy agreement details.
Do I need insurance, as a tenant?
The landlord of the property is responsible for insuring the building and any furnishings that come with it. You will be responsible for insuring your own contents/personal possessions stored within the rented property.
Can I run a business from the property I rent?
No. You must use the property solely for residential purposes unless specifically agreed in advance, in writing.

When Takahiro first spotted Emily at a birthday party in 2009, she was carrying a distinctive pink camera." I'd never seen one before, so I moved up and asked her about it. I was looking for an opportunity to speak to her ," he says. But when he told her his mention, her reaction wasn't fairly what he expected." I was stunned because he had the same name as my previous lover, who was killed in a auto clang a few months earlier ," Emily says. Though she had only dated him for a short period, she was devastated by his death." He was very young and it was all over the news, so it had been quite a hard time for me ."

At the party they chitchatted about their interest in photography, before she invited him to see her band play the following night. It wasn't until a week later that she told Takahiro about her previous boyfriend." I unexpectedly understand why it is her speech went a bit funny ," he shows." It all made sense ."
Emily, who is originally from Tasmania, had been living in Japan for three years and was working as a teach when they met." After he came here my gig, "were having" our first date in Starbucks and some of my students came in. They were asking if he was my boyfriend, which was embarrassing ," she laughs.
Within a week, though, Takahiro had asked Emily to meet his family." I thought it was fast ," she says," but it felt so ordinary and natural to be together. It was the first time I'd felt that with all persons ."
A few months later, Takahiro had the chance to be interviewed for a task in Jamaica, but didn't take up the render." I knew it would intend leaving the country for a couple of years. I turned it down at the very last minute. Maybe it was my subconscious tell people to stay ."

macOS Sierra Addresses Dropbox Security Concerns by Explicitly Asking for Accessibility User Permission
Tuesday September 20, 2016 3:32 PM PDT by Joe Rossignol
Following Dropbox-related security concerns that surfaced earlier this month, developer Phil Stokes has confirmed that macOS Sierra now explicitly requires apps to ask for user permission to access Accessibility (via Daring Fireball). Users can give access to an app, or click "not now" to deny the request.
Concerns were raised after it was demonstrated that Dropbox appears in System Preferences > Security & Privacy under Accessibility, despite the fact that users were never prompted to grant access to the features. More details can be found in our previous coverage and in a Dropbox support document.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that Dropbox never does any evil on your computer. It remains the fact that the Dropbox process has that ability. And that means, if Dropbox itself has a bug in it, it's possible an attacker could take control of your computer by hijacking flaws in Dropbox's code. Of course, that's entirely theoretical, but all security risks are until someone exploits them. The essence of good computer security and indeed the very reason why OSX has these kinds of safeguards in place to begin with is that apps should not have permissions greater than those that they need to do their job.
At the time, Dropbox said it was working with Apple to reduce its dependence on elevated access in macOS Sierra, and would respect when people disable the app's Accessibility permissions, but now a much-needed safeguard exists regardless.
In a new blog post, Dropbox still recommends that Mac users running macOS Sierra update their Accessibility permissions, if needed, to ensure smooth syncing and access to certain features of the cloud storage service.
Advanced Dropbox collaboration features, such as the badge, require Accessibility permissions. You'll be prompted to grant these permissions when you install the Dropbox desktop app on macOS Sierra. To do so, follow the instructions on screen. The same will apply for older versions of OS X in the coming weeks. For more information on Dropbox Mac permissions, visit our help center.
macOS Sierra was publicly released today as a free update on the Mac App Store.

Drop-who?
However in all seriousness, I abandoned Dropbox ages ago and migrated to Google Drive and have never looked back.
Dropbox are "ok" no doubt but lack so many features and compared to Google are seriously slow. My file transfers since switching to Google Drive have more than tripled!
I'll never move my documents to Google Drive which enables the company to look inside within each document for commercial exploitation usage. For the same very reason I rarely using Google as a search engine, simply because I truly hate the so called targeting adds, as if I'm considdered to be a f*beep*ing monkey that would be interested in camera's for weeks just because I was searching for one at one given day. Google makes sure that all the adds on websites, in one way or the other, has something to do with camera's.
I'll regret the day that I might not care about this any longer, that I'm willingly stop using my brains and surrender myself entirely to commercial exploitation and accept that I've become a slave for a company by providing them personal information about myself and by agreeing that "to think yourself" is something one should not do. For the same reason I don't make use of facebook, delete apps that requires a facebook and/or a Google account and doesn't enable me to login besides these options.
I grew up in the world where the internet became big. And I'm really became fascinated with the phenomenon called the internet. And I should because it delivers also so much good. But I've never been able to understand why people willingly give away all of their private information, especially knowing that there is no such thing as: 'I've nothing to hide'
simonmet
I came here to say the same thing. No matter which box you click: "Not Now", "Learn More", or obviously the third one, it puts itself in Accessibility.
My response was to remove Dropbox from my computer.
This is an OS X behaviour and unrelated to Dropbox. OS X is putting it there and this I believe is nothing new. The problem before was that Dropbox seemingly exploited loopholes or weakness in OS X to enable those privileges without asking.
It also replicates behaviour in iOS. If you deny an app permission to send you notifications or have access to your location the app still appears in the relevent settings so you can subsequently enable the permissions later if you so choose without having to delete and reinstall the app.
So it's entirely appropriate and normal that OS X puts it there.
Michaelgtrusa
Well done Apple.
Pakaku
I chose "Not Now" and Dropbox still jumped into Accessibility—though unchecked. My question is, how does it get in there?
Sounds like the OS itself just keeps a history of whatever has attempted to ask for permission, and anything the user denied permission for is just left there unticked.

smacrumon
And I guess you're happy for Google to peruse your files on a daily basis.
[doublepost=1474429813][/doublepost]This is really interesting. Who would have thought MacOS could be circumvented like this? I certainly didn't. Yep post those permission warnings just like iOS vigilantly does.

And as companies try to contain benefits budgets in advance of this year's open enrollment period and the need to choose which health plans to offer, they're looking for ways to rein in prescription costs.


This tips for teen skin care on the go post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own.
Healthy skin is really important, especially in the teen years. It starts good habits at a younger age, which will stay with kids their whole lives, but it's also become more important as social media has grown- love it or hate it, social media is here to stay and teens are either using it or showing up in friends photos. Helping them to care for their skin can help give your teen confidence- and we all know how important that can be for teens!
Cleansing, moisturizing, makeup removal…it can all get overwhelming. For many teens (and tweens), teenage skin care routines need to be taught. It's not all about diet, nor all about products, but a balance of diet and product that will help your teen with their skin care routine. SIMPLE helps teens to develop good skin care routines with trustworthy, easy solutions for sensitive skin.
We already use Simple products at home for our teen (and our tween), but we've taken it a step further to help her take care of her skin on the go with some different Simple products. We already like the brand because of what ISN'T in their products, and how gentle it is on sensitive skin, and now we're just branching out into more mobile products for on the go!
Teens are busier than ever, and finding the time to do a full skin care routine isn't always doable. It's not surprising that with today's busy lifestyles that even teens are looking to find ways to simplify and streamline things, including skincare.
We all know that water is a huge part of our overall health and well being. It doesn't just hydrate the body- it also hydrates skin cells and gives it a more radiant glow. Opt for water over sports drinks, sodas, fruit juices, etc. Water should always be the first drink you reach for!
It's know that a combination of hormones and increased oil production can wreak havoc on teenagers' skin. That oil causes trouble by clogging pores which allows bacteria and debris inside- and that can lead to breakouts. Daily face washing is a must, especially for teens. But when teens are on the go- how do you keep that face clean?
Simple products meet the needs of teen skin and make skincare routines Simple. Teens can use the Simple line for their daily routines when they have time, but for when they are simply on the go and can't get to their bathroom at home for a full cleansing routine, Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes are great as they gently cleanse skin of impurities and unclogs pores, in the convenience of a facial wipe.
That means my gymnast can clean her face immediately after a practice or training session, or a meet, and get that sweat and chalk from the gym off of her face quickly and easily! They also easily and gently remove waterproof mascara while cleansing skin of impurities and unclogging pores.
As kids transition into being teenagers, many of them start wanting to wear makeup. While they may insist that they need to wear full makeup, the truth is that their skin is young and probably pretty healthy already and with the glow of youth on their side, they don't need much. Besides, makeup can end up blocking the pores, so you want to keep makeup coverage to a minimum.
We started allowing our daughter to wear a light lip gloss and pale eye shadow in grade 7, and added concealer and a brown mascara for grade 8. She did get some light blush colors for Christmas and she's worn that a few times. Some kids in her 8th grade class are wearing foundation and powder, along with contouring and highlighting. If you are allowing your teen to wear all of that, make sure you take the time to educate them about getting that makeup off before they go to bed each night!
Since our teen is pretty busy with gymnastics practices 4 times a week and babysitting three days a week after school, she likes to have an easy option for removing her makeup or cleaning her face quickly on the go. She likes having the option to clean her face quickly no matter where she is!
Touching your face, especially blemishes and acne spots, can introduce bacteria and more oils to your skin. If you must touch your face, do so with clean hands! Really, though, the more you don't touch, the better off your skin is.
Simple Exfoliating Wipes help to gently lifts away dead skin cells, while nourishing the skin with beneficial pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E. Grab a wipe on the go instead of poking at or touching your face!
It's been said a million times over, but opt for fresh fruits and veggies when possible. Oily, greasy foods combined with teen hormones can really help those breakouts to increase in frequency.
Feeling a little greasy? Maybe you did more junk foods than healthy on the go today?
Try the Simple Micellar Cleansing Wipes made with cleansing bubbles called Micelles which are smart enough to lift makeup and unclog pores. Skin is left feeling refreshed and instantly hydrated. They remove all makeup, including waterproof mascara with just one wipe. They are perfect for when you're on-the-go.
Micellar Cleansing Wipes contain no artificial perfume or dyes and no harsh chemicals that can upset your skin- they're Dermatologist tested so you can feel comfortable using them on even the most sensitive skin!
Teens have enough to deal with between hormones, school, socializing and ever-changing skin. I may not be able to simplify all areas of my teen's world, but I can definitely help to SIMPLEfy her skin care to save her some time! Simple products meet the needs of her skin at home AND on the go plus they make her skincare routine Simple.
Find Simple Facial Cleansing Wipes, Simple Micellar Wipes, and Simple Exfoliating Wipes and more in the skin care aisle at your local Walgreens!
What are your tips for teen skin care on the go? Do you have an active teen in your life, too?
Simple is really great for the skin! I love the micellar water wipes and the face toner. These are great tips for teens!
Those wipes seem like a good choice when you can't get home to wash your face. It is important to use gentle ingredients on your skin.
What teen isn't on the go?!? Being the adult, have missed washing my face, simply out of being too busy. Facial wipes make it happen on a daily basis.
What great skin care products for teens. Most teens begin experiencing skin issues (acne, pimples) early on. It's good to have a brand like Simple that helps them with these issues.
Simple do some really great skin care products don't they and they are always so kind for skin. Defintiely a great brand for teens.


Tennis is as tennis does. There was a certain amount of U. S. grumbling last week when the U. S. Wightman cup team permitted five English women, not including able Eileen Bennett,* to come within a few aces of keeping the trophy in the matches played at Forest Hills, L. I. But the fact of the matter was that England, strapped though she is for male players, is a major power on the women's courts.

Trauma care in Malawi: A call to action
By Grace Le
Injuries are a global public health concern, because most are preventable, yet they continue to be a major cause of death and disability, especially among children, adolescents, and young adults. This enormous loss of human potential has numerous negative social and economic consequences. Malawi has no formal system of prehospital trauma care, and there is limited access to hospital-based trauma care, orthopaedic surgery, and rehabilitation. While some hospitals and research teams have established local trauma registries and quantified the burden of injuries in parts of Malawi, there is no national injury surveillance database compiling the data needed in order to develop and implement evidence-based prevention initiatives and guidelines to improve the quality of clinical care. Studies in other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have demonstrated cost-effective methods for enhancing prehospital, in-hospital, and post-discharge care of trauma patients. We encourage health sector leaders from across Malawi to take action to improve trauma care and reduce the injury burden in this country.

Nuon Solar Team wins 14th Bridgestone World Solar Challenge
Contact /Loek Becker Hoff Datum / 16 October 2017
The Nuon Solar Team (TU Delft) has convincingly won the 14th edition of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, the world championship solar car racing in Australia. Nuna9 finished in Adelaide around 6.45, on the fifth day of the race. Their 3,00-km-long journey across the Australian Outback took them 4 days and about 6 hours. This is the Nuon Solar Team's seventh championship title.
Nuon Solar team again World Champion
The Nuon Solar Team increased their lead over their major rivals, Michigan (USA), Tokai (Japan) and Punch Powertrain (Belgium), on the last racing day. Spare driver Tim van Leeuwen started the day in Nuna9. Race driver, Lisanne de Rooij, took over at the control stop and finished in Adelaide. Her fellow driver Sharon van Luik in Australia: "Of course, we were very nervous. Something can always happen. We were a bundle of nerves, you might say. But everything went great! Nuna9 reached a maximum velocity of 110 km per hour. And that solely with the energy the sun provides us with! 'Ripper' – as they'd say in Australia!"
Decisions worked out
This was the ninth time the Nuon Solar Team participated in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge. They brought back the championship trophee six time to the Netherlands and were the runner-up twice. Nonetheless, the tension was great for the successful team, says team manager Sander Koot. "The new race regulations have resulted in a great variation of car designs. No one knew for sure which one would perform best. Fortunately, we choose a compact aerodynamic design and efficient solar panel."
Successful overtaking actions
The team started the race on position 4, after a great qualification on Saturday. Driver Emma Vercoulen drove the Hidden Valley track in an impressive 2:14 minutes. Directly in the first day the team overtook the three competitors in front of them: Sydney, Punch and, ultimately, their long-time rival Tokai from Japan.
Mechanical issues on road
A broken part of the car suspension was the cause of some exciting moments on day 2. Race driver Sharon van Luik: "I was startled by this bang and thought it was a blowout. Unfortunately, I had to stop and witness how our competitor Tokai overtook us. Luckily, our support crew fixed the car very quickly and this enabled us continue the race within ten minutes." After a short period of time, the team reclaimed its position as front-runner in the challenge.
Clouds and hard winds
The third and fourth racing days turned out to be strategically crucial, especially when the sun disappeared behind the clouds. Hard winds and even rain characterized this day. These conditions actually benefited the Nuon Solar Team; their design choices enabled them to extend their lead to 2 hours on the penultimate day. Aerodynamics expert Jasper Hemmes: "Nuna9's compact, lightweight and aerodynamic design features enabled us to drive at a great speed. Due to this aerodynamic design, we were able to profit from the suction – caused by the wind." Strategy analyst Stijn Burger elaborates: "Thanks to the information provided by our meteo-team we were able to maximize our energy incomes."
The Nuon Solar Team's coach Marc Lammers – who coached the Nuon Solar Team during their race – is very much impressed by 'his' team. "One of their strongholds is that everyone's familiar with each other's strengths. One team member knows everything about tires, some else is an expert in the field of aerodynamics, and some other members know all the ins and outs of the solar panel and electronics. This team makes great decisions at the right moments; and they do it together. Their concentration is great, which results in a great team spirit. The latter has been translated into this fantastic outcome."
RISKID, a portfolio company of InnovationQuarter, is proud partner of the Nuon Solar Team. They will keep supporting the team for the championship in two years.

Sam Fender confirms 2020 arena shows as debut tops chart
by Andre Paine
September 23rd 2019	at 9:00AM
Sam Fender has confirmed a major tour next year with his biggest headline shows to date, including a gig at Alexandra Palace.
The BRITs Critics' Choice winner from North Shields hit No.1 on Friday (September 20) with his debut album Hypersonic Missiles (Polydor). Fender was presented with an Official Charts No.1 award in Newcastle by local sporting hero Alan Shearer.
In the latest issue of Music Week, Fender's management and label team talk about his big breakthrough. Hypersonic Missiles racked up 41,000 sales, including 8,200 on vinyl. It is the fastest-selling vinyl album of 2019 so far, though Fender's record will now face a challenge from Liam Gallagher.
"This is beyond dream territory," said Fender. "I thought my dreams were complete when I played Jools Holland, never mind this madness. Thanks to all the fans. This is just the start."
Following the No.1 debut, Fender today announced a tour next year, including Manchester Victoria Warehouse (March 20-21), Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom (March 23-24), Alexandra Palace in London (March 27), Leicester De Montfort Hall (March 30), Cardiff Arena (March 31), Leeds Arena (April 2) and a homecoming show at Newcastle Arena (April 3).
The tour is promoted by Communion (London) and SJM. Fender's live agent is CAA.
Unusually, for a charting artist in 2019, the songs on Fender's indie-rock debut are all self-penned. It was recorded at his own self-built warehouse studio in North Shields with long-standing friend and producer, Bramwell Bronte.
As well as the No.1 album, the singer-songwriter has secured his first Top 50 singles - Will We Talk? at No.43 and the LP's title track at No.48. With support from BBC Radio 1 and its Brits List initiative, Fender has had four Top 40 airplay hits, including Will We Talk?, That Sound, Play God and Hypersonic Missiles.

This paper chronicles the history of malaria elimination attempts in Zanzibar, taking a close look at the World Health Organization's failed elimination attempt between 1958-1968, and the epidemic of rebound malaria that struck the island afterwards. The paper argues that the WHO scientists recognized from the very beginning that Zanzibar's elimination attempt was unlikely to succeed but publicly blamed Zanzibari workers, institutions and community members for the many problems that arose. Drawing on internal and confidential WHO documents, the paper also shows that scientists recognized the risks of rebound malaria early on, yet did not responsible plan for measures to lessen the epidemiological burden to local people. A particular focus is on the ethical questions emerging around the loss of acquired immunity, how local communities understand the potential risks, and how international global health groups plan responsible exit strategies. The historical case study is framed in light of Zanzibar's current malaria elimination activities, led by the Gates Foundation. The paper is based on extensive work in the Zanzibar National Archives and the WHO archives in addition to interviews and observations in Zanzibar.

Kendo is the first in-depth historical, cultural, and political account in English of the Japanese martial art of swordsmanship, from its beginnings in military training and arcane medieval schools to its widespread practice as a global sport today. Alexander Bennett shows how kendo evolved through a recurring process of "inventing tradition," which served the changing ideologies and needs of Japanese warriors and governments over the course of history. Kendo follows the development of Japanese swordsmanship from the aristocratic-aesthetic pretensions of medieval warriors in the Muromachi period, to the samurai elitism of the Edo regime, and then to the nostalgic patriotism of the Meiji state. Kendo was later influenced in the 1930s and 1940s by ultranationalist militarists and ultimately by the postwar government, which sought a gentler form of nationalism to rekindle appreciation of traditional culture among Japan's youth and to garner international prestige as an instrument of "soft power." Today kendo is becoming increasingly popular internationally. But even as new organizations and clubs form around the world, cultural exclusiveness continues to play a role in kendo's ongoing evolution, as the sport remains closely linked to Japan's sense of collective identity.
Alexander C. Bennett is Professor at Kansai University. He also serves as vice president of the International Naginata Federation, member of the International Committee of the All Japan Kendo Federation, director of the Japanese Academy of Budo, and head coach of New Zealand's national kendo team. He is cofounder and editor in chief of Kendo World.

NICKMERCS Skeptical Warzone 2 Will Change After Beta: "This is the f***ing game"
September 17, 2022 by Jack
NICKMERCS was one of several content creators to receive an invite to the COD Next event, where Activision showed Warzone 2 – and after getting some hands-on time with the game, he's ready to share his thoughts.
NICKMERCS is one of the giants of Call of Duty. From his time competing in Search and Destroy betting matches to establishing himself as a competent Warzone player, the FPS veteran has seen it all when it comes to the franchise, making him an excellent resource when it comes to the assessing new experiences.
When fans asked him what he thought of the game, he gave it a generally positive review and warned players not to expect drastic changes when it comes time to jump from beta to finished product.
NICKMERCS believes the Warzone 2 beta won't change much in the final game
The streamer recalled his early experience and shared his chat with how he felt about the state of the game. A fan brought up the possibility of some interface changes and other minor tweaks, then the vet encouraged everyone to put the breaks on their wish list.
"For anyone who thinks the game is going to change a lot when it comes out, you're fucking stupid," he promised.
He went on to say that things like the UI and colors may be updated, but reaffirmed that he doesn't believe there will be any major changes between now and launch, even if the developers write things off as beta-specific issues.
Overall, the multi-game pro did say he liked the game, but attributed that to being in the "honeymoon stage" and stated that he hasn't seen enough to know if it's going to be bad or not when it's all over said and done.

Silent, entrancing, a backlight for the beauty of the pine tree silouettes standing tall, standing strong, waiting to outshine the fallen leaves with their promise of life through winter.
I am reminded, there is beauty in everything, there is choice in all. I can lament the passing of a season, I can worry about the roads, or I can take this moment and embrace this visual symphony displayed before me.
