Trenchless pipe replacement is a relatively new process that will save you time, money, and headaches while it preserves your landscaping, driveway, hardscaping, and the beauty and value of your home. Part of this process includes "pipe bursting," a method where a large, cone-shaped head is hydraulically pulled by a steel cable through the existing sewer line, breaking apart the old pipe while at the same time bringing in the new seamless HDPE pipe with it.
Our technicians at Mr. Sewer Rooter have extensive training and experience in this innovative method. Call us at (323) 688-4565 to schedule trenchless pipe replacement in Los Angeles.
How Does Trenchless Pipe Replacement Work?
At Mr. Sewer Rooter, we provide our customers with all the information they need before we start our work. Our professionals would be happy to answer any of your questions and give you a detailed price estimate of the overall service. We can also walk you through the trenchless pipe replacement process, so you can feel confident about the efficiency of this method.
Find the problem – Our Los Angeles rooters will run their video camera into your line to determine where the blockage or break is.
Expose the sewer line and prep for pipe bursting – Two small holes are dug by hand at either end of the sewer that will be replaced. After the holes are dug, the technicians run a steel cable into one end of the existing sewer line and feed it through to the opposite end. One end of the steel cable is attached to the hydraulic machine that will pull in the new line and the other end of the cable is attached to a cone-shaped head which is also attached to the new, seamless, heat-fused HDPE pipe.
Pipe bursting – The steel bursting head breaks through the existing pipe, pulling the new pipe behind it. A hydraulic ram pulls the steel cable and cone-shaped head through the existing pipe, replacing it with the new HDPE pipe. This new HDPE pipe is tough and flexible and has a service life of over 100 years.
All our trenchless pipe replacement work come with a 100-year warranty. Mr. Sewer Rooter can pipe burst 3-inch, 4-inch, and 6-inch lines.
Do you have deteriorating or collapsed pipelines? Replace them without disturbing your property with a trenchless pipe replacement in Los Angeles. Call us at (323) 688-4565!


In a near-future America, women have been reduced to second-class citizens, limited (among other things) to speaking only 100 words a day, a limit enforced with electric-shock cuffs. But that's only the beginning of this story of family sorrow, political oppression, and eventual redemption. Bears comparison to A Handmaid's Tale.

Tariff Wars Are Likely to Persist Despite Imminent China Deal
WHILE WAITING FOR THIS MORNING'S JOBS REPORT, which probably will be still another sign of a red-hot labor market, let's focus on one of the few economic negatives — the U.S. reliance on trade tariffs, which has been a modest drag on global growth.
PRESIDENT TRUMP FAMOUSLY DECLARED THAT "I'm a tariff guy," which has exasperated members of his own party who believe that tariffs hurt farmers and U.S. firms that rely on predictable and affordable supply chains. Yet the tariffs are likely to persist on a wide range of Chinese products — and on steel and aluminum, to the dismay of countries such as Canada and Mexico.
MOST REPUBLICANS DISAGREE WITH TRUMP: Pro-business GOP lawmakers, led by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, are insisting that trade and steel tariffs should be lifted on Canada and Mexico as a pre-condition for passing the NAFTA replacement treaty, called USMCA. But Trump apparently rejected their appeals this week, which convinces us that the treaty probably won't be ratified this year.
THE BIG RISK, if there's no new trade deal between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, is that Trump could carry out his threat to no longer abide by the existing treaty, NAFTA, and return to the pre-NAFTA playing field — which would be disastrously complicated for businesses in all three countries. We don't think this will happen, although Trump could continue to threaten it.
STRANGE BEDFELLOWS: Trump knows that NAFTA and other trade deals are very unpopular in crucial electoral states like Pennsylvania and Michigan, where he beat free trade advocate Hillary Clinton in 2016. We think NAFTA has had a positive impact on the overall U.S. economy, but Trump knows a protectionist argument wins a lot of votes in the Rust Belt. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and many other leftist Democrats agree.
THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR JOE BIDEN: Like Clinton, he has supported free trade deals, and already has been blasted by Sanders, who told CNN this week that Biden's support for free trade will become a major issue in the Democrats' looming free-for-all. Being the front-runner has its downsides, as Biden discovered this week; the front-runner becomes a target.
TRUMP WILL SHOW PLENTY OF TESTOSTERONE ON TARIFFS: Even with a trade deal with Beijing just weeks away from ratification, he apparently won't lift all tariffs that he imposed on China last year. He hasn't ruled out tough new auto tariffs, aimed largely at Germany, and the rocky relations between Washington and Ottawa will persist.
IF TRUMP REALLY WANTS ECONOMIC GROWTH to blast off before the election, he should end the tariffs, because they have a negative impact on small businesses and farmers in the U.S., which have to cope with uncertainty and retaliatory tariffs. But Trump apparently won't relent — tariffs are a club that keeps U.S. trading partners in line, he believes, and his political base agrees.

Time bond was floated or demonetised: Experts
January 27, 2019 in Business
RESERVE Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor John Mangudya is this week expected to present the monetary policy statement amid calls that he should address the deep-seated currency challenges which are affecting the economy.
By Fidelity Mhlanga / Mthandazo Nyoni
This comes at a time when industry has raised the red flag warning that the country's manufacturing base would collapse within a month if government did not urgently resolve the currency crisis in the short term.
Civil servants are also pushing for salary increments to match the rising cost of living that has escalated on the back of currency volatility.
Just two weeks ago, business was brought to a standstill for three days as demonstrators took to the streets protesting against a massive rise in government tax on fuel which then increased the fuel cost build-up.
In his last monetary policy statement, Mangudya directed local banks to separate hard currency deposits from RTGS balances, effectively admitting that the two were not of equal value.
The move unnerved the market resulting in wild price hikes and acute shortages of basic commodities.
Economist Eddie Cross said Mangudya should set an independent monetary policy committee and demonetise the bond note.
"This monetary statement will be the most important for some time. I'm expecting the minister and the governor to discuss the formation of the monetary policy committee (MPC) and to set the committee terms of reference giving them independence from the Ministry of Finance and the central bank. I'm expecting them to announce an outline of future monetary policy. The latter will include demonetisation of the bond note and the adoption of a new local currency in due course," Cross said.
He said there was need to halt the practice of sweeping foreign currency balances from private accounts to the private banks.
"At the same time they need to arrange for the MPC to float the RTGS dollar and set daily exchange rates. This is the only way to remedy the present chaos," he said.
Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) president Sifelani Jabangwe said the central bank should put in place a platform to trade currency to avert business from closing.
"Given that the RBZ does not have the currency to allocate to business, industry has almost stopped. We are thus lobbying government for a legal platform to trade currency otherwise most business will close," Jabangwe said.
CZI recently said that companies were left with a month's supply of raw materials and were on the verge of winding up operations as a result of the forex shortages.
As the economy continues to tank, economist John Robertson said government would shift from the fallacy that the US dollar is trading pari passu with the bond.
He added that this could be done by the banks, who could work together to see that supply and demand set the prices.
"Our currency crisis was caused by government printing money and by our own need for imports that exceed export values. So, government has to cut its own costs to spend no more than tax revenues and industry has to produce more so that we import much less," said Robertson.
Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers president Denford Mutashu said government should adopt a proper currency to end the pricing dilemma obtaining on the market.
"We expect the normalisation of the price situation and that has to bring finality on the pricing model. So far we have a distorted market where others demand US dollars while mainstream retailers are not allowed to sell in forex. There is a dilemma in that certain imported products are paying duty in forex and yet retailers are not allowed to sell in forex. So there is need for policy interventions. The MPC should address such critical issues on whether we are re-dollarising or we are introducing our own currency," Mutashu said.
Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce chief executive Christopher Mugaga is of the opinion that Mangudya should mop up the excess liquidity in the economy, which is the major cause of currency distortions prevailing in the market.
"The governor must tell us on how he is going to mop up excess liquidity in banks. We are on the edge and the centre can no longer hold. There is also need for debt profiling, showing how much we owe to different countries in the world," Mugaga said.
Economic analyst Shoko added that the only way out of the situation was to demonetise the bond and take it out of circulation.
"He (Mangudya) needs to see how he stops the bond from circulating and also needs to address the RTGS balances that ballooned because of indiscipline by both government and the public so that we find a way towards a genuine currency. But we have to understand and appreciate the fact that it is not an overnight thing no matter how bad it is performing because there is a serious amount of that money which is in circulation," said Shoko.
"He needs to find a way to attract diaspora remittances into the formal economy so that the funds contribute to the development of the economy because some of these challenges can be addressed if we get the remittances circulating in the formal economy. There is also need of addressing trust in the banking system because at the moment very few people are comfortable with the idea of putting their foreign currency in the banks"

Guide to Eating at Disney World Parks
Hotels & Restaurants Around Disneyland
Where to Eat at Walt Disney World
Barb Nefer, Leaf Group
You can eat meals with Disney characters at certain restaurants. (Photo: chicken little image by sylvie candelon from Fotolia.com )
Walt Disney World Dining Options
Eating Dinner With Princesses at Disney World
Walt Disney World is a 40-square-mile resort property, with restaurants in its theme parks, hotels and Downtown Disney shopping complex. Its eateries appeal to a wide range of tastes, from simple family fare to gourmet meals. Know the options in advance so you can plan your Disney World meals and get any needed reservations.
Casual Meals
Walt Disney World has counter service eateries and casual restaurants all around its property. Its hotels have food courts or counter service, and many also have sit-down restaurants. For example, the Polynesian resort hotel has Captain Cook's snack bar and two sit-down restaurants called Kona Cafe and 'Ohana. There are family-oriented restaurants and fast service eateries scattered throughout the four theme parks and at Downtown Disney too. The Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach water parks also have counter service dining.
Character Meals
Some Disney World theme park and hotel restaurants provide character dining opportunities. Characters circulate through the restaurant and visit you at your table while you eat. You can take photos and get autographs without waiting in line. Each location features specific characters. For example, Lilo and Stitch host a breakfast at 'Ohana in the Polynesian hotel, while several Disney princesses appear at meals in the Askerhaus restaurant at Epcot's Norway pavillion and Winnie the Pooh and his friends hob nob with diners at the Magic Kingdom's Crystal Palace buffet. These meals are a good option if you want to ensure your family will see certain characters or if you want relaxed photo opportunities with no lines.
Signature Meals
Walt Disney World is generally thought of as a family destination, but it offers signature dining options that appeal to adults. Some of these are located in Disney-owned hotels. For example, Jiko in Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and the California Grill in the Contemporary Resort are both high-end eateries. Some can be found in the theme parks, like the Brown Derby in Disney's Hollywood Studios or the Coral Reef restaurant in Epcot. Disney also has a AAA Five Diamond restaurant called Victoria and Albert's in its Grand Floridian resort which has a formal dress code and which has an age limit of 10 years old and above.
You must have an admission ticket to access any restaurant located inside the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom or the water parks. Anyone can eat at the Downtown Disney and hotel restaurants. You don't need a ticket and you don't have to be staying at the hotel.
Virtually all sit-down restaurants at the Disney-owned hotels and theme parks, as well as the Downtown Disney eateries, accept reservations. You may not be able to eat at a preferred location if you do not reserve a time. This is especially true of character dining and limited capacity restaurants like Victoria & Albert's. Reservations are available 180 days in advance and can be made via Disney World's website or by calling 407-WDW-DINE. Some popular locations, such as Cinderella's Royal Table, require you to guarantee your reservation with a credit card and charge a no-show fee.

Lin Lecture to shine light on interfaith kinship
Home » News » Lin Lecture to shine light on interfaith kinship
Rita George-Tvrtković to speak Feb. 23 at the Lin Lecture Great Speaker Series
Not long after the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001, Rita George-Tvrtković, Ph.D., was out in her local religious communities in Chicago talking about kinship and brotherhood.
George-Tvrtković, who is Catholic, worked alongside Muslim partners to speak in both churches and mosques about how the two religions share more in common than people think, and how the United States' response to the terrorist attacks was not an attack on Islam.
Rita George-Tvrtković
The idea of the talks was to promote brotherhood and kindness during a time of uncertainty.
"I felt like it was a very fruitful time even though everyone was sort of panicked," George-Tvrtković said. "I felt like it was something I could do to show people that Christians and Muslims get along and we have a history together."
As a Professor of Theology at Benedictine University in Illinois, George-Tvrtković specializes in medieval Christian-Muslim-Jewish relations and has authored books on the topic. Her expertise also earned her an appointment to the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue in October 2020.
George-Tvrtković is listed as one of two professors in the United States appointed as a consultor in the 25-member panel.
"I got a letter from the Vatican written in all Latin, which, you know, luckily, I know Latin, but it was still sort of unclear," she said. "Then a few days later, I was getting all these emails and texts from friends and family saying, 'Congratulations.'"
George-Tvrtković is scheduled to speak at St. Mary's University at 7 p.m. on Feb. 23 as part of The Lin Great Speaker Series. The free public event will be held in University Center, Conference Room A, and is titled "Interfaith Friend, Interfaith Kin: Reflections on Fratelli tutti." Fratelli tutti is Pope Francis' 2020 encyclical on fraternity and social friendship.
"I believe every person has a role to play in increasing unity in our country and decreasing the division. This lecture might help get you thinking about how you might do that at school, in your neighborhood or at your workplace."
George-Tvrtković is also scheduled to speak at an event at 9:20 a.m., Feb. 23, on the topic of Mary in Christianity and Islam as part of the University's annual Conference on Justice and Social Concerns.
The evening Lin Great Speaker Series lecture by George-Tvrtković will be the culminating keynote event of the three-day Conference on Justice and Social Concerns, during which the campus community explores social and justice issues affecting society.
George-Tvrtković said that her Lin Lecture will touch on Pope Francis' call for kinship among other religious organizations and what that means when applying it to religions other than one's own. The discussion will also be used to show how interfaith dialogue can be used in other aspects of life.
"I believe every person has a role to play in increasing unity in our country and decreasing the division," she said. "This lecture might help get you thinking about how you might do that at school, in your neighborhood or at your workplace."

This series commemorates the 100th anniversary of North Carolina's parks, and offers artful programs, both those set in parks and those featuring park-related themes, all presented by Raleigh area arts institutions.
Again in 2016, area arts presenters are collaborating around a single idea: a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of N.C.'s parks system and presenting a variety of art work around a parks theme.
These productions, exhibits etc., all are either offered in a park setting or feature a park or outdoor venue in their content.
If you are an arts presenter in Wake County and have a production in a park or about parks coming up in 2016, please contact the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau here for more information about being part of Artify: The Arts in Parks.


Last year, the Startup Week in Vienna was a big hit – multiple days of content, speakers, and an overall awesome experience for startups and investors from all over Europe alike.
Because we like the team, because we like Vienna (after all, a good part of our portfolio hails from there, or close by), and because we like startups, we have partnered with the organisers of this year's equivalent, the Pioneers Festival. We will inform you about a few cool things coming out of this in the next weeks, but most importantly, we want to turn your eyes to the Startup Challenge they are organising.
The startup challenge is a unique chance to win 25.000 EUR – free of any obligations or strings attached. The final winner will be selected out of 50 participants, who will be picked from all applications to the event. These 50 get invited to the event (2 people per startup), but even applying to the event in itself carries a little sweetener: All applicants will be able to join the Pioneers Festival at the Early Bird rate.
Everybody whose web, tech, or mobile startup is younger than 3 years, and has raised less than 1million in outside capital is eligible. The challenge itself is happening on 29th of October, which is the investors day. All day, there will be private one on one meetings between the selected 50 startups and investors – a great way to meet and interact with hard to get to people.
Apply directly at the application form by the 7th of September or read more on the Pioneers Festival home page.

By Susan Lordi Willow tree (artist) "The history Willow Tree" History ® Willow Tree for Susan Lordi hand carves each artist sculpture willow ® original. Using family and friends as models, Susan tries to capture a moment in time, or express a feeling. Pieces are cast from her original carving, and then individually hand painted. Gently washed colors, carved and metal accents, and representative icons of nature mark Susan's work. "I try to keep open the interpretation of the willow. I hope this makes it more personal and allows the viewer to decide its meaning." Willow was introduced in January 2000. The line has grown to include those feelings that we want to express more. To our friends, our family, for our teachers; for those near and dear ones, to those far away. The original inspiration for Willow still holds true today: Willow is a line of intimate, personal figurative sculptures in quality and sentiments that help us feel close to others, heal wounds, or treasure relationships. Susan Lordi carves each original piece with this thought in mind. His figures continue to evolve as she identifies as important for us to transmit, emotions and makes them simple gestures, Puri. These art forms beautifully expressed love, closeness, healing, courage, hope ... all the emotions of a life well lived. The name Willow was chosen to symbolize that which is gestural and winking. The figures are columnar in design, like a tree, and often carry natural objects or animals as metaphors for human virtues or qualities ... flowers of rosemary for remembrance, a bird for healing, for beauty. The sculptures are made to suggest, elegance, simplicity, peace and serenity. Forms reveal their expressions through body gestures only ... a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Emotions are left to the viewer to discern, which makes them powerful and personal. Willow is a sober speaking so convincente.é available across its line.

CENTRAL QUESTION: How many parts of speech can be incorporated into a one-word title?
The cover of Sheri Joseph's first novel, Stray, features a bed in disarray, still bearing the imprint of absent bodies, the white comforter awash in blue light. The image suggests something delicious and probably untoward; there is the hint of a hasty retreat.
Paul and Kent made their first appearance in Joseph's critically acclaimed story cycle, Bear Me Safely Over, which ends four years prior to the beginning of Stray. Now Kent is happily married to Maggie, a Mennonite who is devoted to her work as a public defender and who knows very little about her husband's previous life. Kent has relegated Paul to an uneasy part of his memory, where he might have safely remained had the two not bumped into each other one Sunday night at a university library. The trip to Florida is Kent's attempt to end the relationship for good, but first loves have a habit of hanging on inconveniently, and this one is no exception.
The third-person narrative shifts chapter by chapter among four characters: Maggie, Paul, Kent, and Bernard, the ailing professor of drama with whom Paul lives and who cast Paul in his first significant role—Hamlet. Fittingly, Bernard played the ghost of Hamlet's father. The shifting third person allows us to see Paul's intimate and often destructive influence on the lives of those he loves. In a teeth-gritting plot twist, Paul secretly meets and befriends Maggie, whose affection for the young, aspiring actor is maternal but not entirely asexual, and whose conversations with him reveal Paul's vulnerability, which Kent is largely unable to see.
Determined cheer, or cheer of any kind, for that matter, is absent from the novel's closing scenes, which provide no quick solutions for the complex questions of intimacy, infidelity, and sexual identity that are raised in the opening pages. No characters end up happier than they were at the beginning of the book. One even ends up dead. Which is to say that Joseph offers a realistic, if grim, perspective on the risks we take when we succumb to that most human weakness—desire.


A perfect soft biscuit with a crunchy praline top to go with a cup a coffee in the morning.
These would be nice to wake up to on Christmas or Thanksgiving morning or just for a special treat.
I use a cast iron skillet whenever I make biscuits. If you don't have cast iron, you could use a baking pan or glass dish.
If you don't care for raisins, leave them out. Add a little cinnamon if you like a cinnamon roll.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter in 10-inch cast iron skillet. This can be done in oven while it preheats, just don't burn your butter.
Stir brown sugar and pecans into melted butter; spread evenly over bottom of skillet.
Combine baking mix, salt and raisins with sour cream; stir for about 30 seconds until combined and moist. Add a little more sour cream (or a little milk) if needed.
Divide dough into 9 equal pieces; place over pecan mixture. It will take about 1/4 cup per biscuit. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown.
Invert onto plate and serve hot with a cup of coffee or a cup of hot cocoa. Enjoy!

The weather is toasty warm, the columbines are out, and I've found the macro button on my camera again. On Friday morning I heard screaming in the sky as I walked up the road to the bus stop, and I looked up to see the first swifts. Only a few, and they seem to have gone again, but they will be back, and I will spend my summer evenings sitting slanted on the sofa so I can look out through the fan-light in the door and see them whizzing about.
I have also stopped procrastinating and finished the little jacket for the niecephew that I started on the 29th of March. It was a much quicker knit than the time it took suggests. I kept taking breaks as I worried about the colour (I thought it was neutral, Chris thought it was rather blue, and we eventually decided that it doesn't need to have the buttons sewn on until the child actually makes an appearance, so those you can see in the picture below are not stitched down, and will be replaced by something in navy blue if the infant is a boy after all).
Then I worried about the size. It seemed awfully small, even for a newborn babe. I found myself in Sainsburys, measuring baby-gros (doesn't everyone keep a measuring tape in their bag?) but was not fully reassured until I had shown it to mum, who as the mother of three ought to have some idea what size a baby is.
Then I worried about my ability to pick up stitches and knit respectable button-bands. I have knitted many things, but not a lot of button-bands, and I have seen some awful ones in my time. Finally I sat down to it this morning, determined to finish the jacket off so I could start something new, and did them. Several times over. They look alright now.
The pattern is the Mossy Jacket, and I re-sized it for a newborn by using a lighter weight yarn (Araucania Pomaire, one skein with substantial leftovers, fantastically even stitches) and smaller needles (4.5mm and 5mm). Without the crippling attacks of self-doubt, it would have taken a week.
Now I am going to have crippling attacks of self doubt over my ability to handle cobweb-weight yarn. And watch more Battlestar Galactica. But not at the same time, because BSG demands concentration, as does cobweb, and I only have so much brain to go round.


"The wave of antisemitic attacks I've seen in the last week, it's been a new experience for me, I've never seen that before," Mayor Michael Signer said.
CHARLOTTESVILLE — Michael Signer, the Jewish mayor of Charlottesville, has one thing in common with the white supremacists who descended on his southern Virginia city over the weekend: He also opposed the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Of course, Signer's reasons for preserving the statue would have appalled the supremacists: He agreed with local African-American activists who had argued that preserving the statue was a means of teaching Virginians about the horrors of a "dishonorable" cause, the Confederacy.
Signer was on the losing side of a 3-2 City Council decision, and the statue is now slated for removal. But his thoughtful approach, more typical of an academic than a politician, has also been evident in his counsel during the rash of protests that have plagued this city: "Don't take the bait," he has said.
In giving that advice, Signer has noted that for the first time in his life, he has been the target of intense baiting as a Jew.
"I can't see the world through a black person's eyes," he said at a June 13 address at an African-American church, where he urged constituents not to give in to the impulse to counter hatred with hatred.
Signer, 44, a practicing lawyer in Charlottesville, also lectures on politics and leadership at the University of Virginia, his law school alma mater. His wife, Emily Blout, is an Iran scholar at the same university, which is located here.
In a January speech declaring Charlottesville "a capital of the resistance," Signer described his grandfather as a "Jewish kid raised in the Bronx" who was "part of the forces that liberated the world from Nazism and fascism, that laid the groundwork for NATO and the Marshall Plan, and for a country that lived up to the promises of the Statue of Liberty."
"If he were alive right now, I don't think I could look him in the face and say Grandpa, I didn't fight for the values you fought for," he said.
Before becoming mayor, Signer was known both for his activism in the senior reaches of the Democratic Party — he was national security adviser for John Edwards' 2008 primary campaign — as well as his expertise on a subject that has received much attention recently: demagoguery. His 2009 book, "Demagogue: the Fight to Save Democracy from its Worst Enemies," was well received.
Without saying "I told you so" outright, Signer this weekend squarely blamed Trump for stoking the populist white nationalist fervor that culminated in the violence that took the life of one counter-protester, injured dozens of others and led to the death of two state troopers in a helicopter crash. The rally included Nazi flags, chants of "Jews will not replace us," and shouts of "Jew" every time a speaker mentioned Signer's name.
"Look at the campaign he ran," the mayor said on CNN.
Speaking in May on "State of Belief," a radio show produced by the Interfaith Alliance, Signer said it was more productive to focus on the victim than the perpetrator.
"You're trying to ease the pain of someone who's been afflicted rather than focus on the harasser," he said.
"The wave of anti-Semitic attacks I've seen in the last week, it's been a new experience for me, I've never seen that before," Signer said.

A performance like this made it very easy to underestimate the rigours of a programme that unwittingly exposed the delicacies of an unaccompanied Bach Siciliano and Jeremy Pike's abstract and austere Aphelion to the tedium generated by Sutton Coldfield Philharmonic Society's opening 'housekeeping' announcements, and closed with a daunting stylistic leap from Bruch to Gershwin, and stamina-sapping encores.

But when the atmosphere contains little or no dust near aphelion -- the more typical state of affairs, he asserts -- water vapor easily condenses into ice crystals, forming low-lying clouds in abundance.

Team USA Announces 2018 Motocross of Nations Lineup

2018 FIM Motocross of Nations Lineup for the United States Announced at Massey Ferguson Unadilla National
Eli Tomac, Justin Barcia, and Aaron Plessinger to Represent Host Nation at RedBud
NEW BERLIN, N.Y. (August 11, 2018) – After months of anticipation, the three-rider lineup for the United States at the 2018 FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN) was officially announced Saturday, just prior to the Massey Ferguson Unadilla National, Round 10 of the 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing. The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), in conjunction with MX Sports Pro Racing, named Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli Tomac, Monster Energy/Yamaha Factory Racing's Justin Barcia, and Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star/Yamaha's Aaron Plessinger as the three riders that will lead the host country into action at Michigan's famed RedBud MX on October 6-7.
Aaron Plessinger, Justin Barcia, and Eli Tomac will represent the United States at the 2018 Motocross of Nations at RedBud Motocross Park.
– Rich Shepherd
The 2018 MXoN will signify the event's fourth visit to the United States, joining Unadilla MX (1987), Budds Creek Motocross Park (2007), and Thunder Valley MX Park (2010) as the only domestic venues to host the world's biggest professional motocross race. The United States, which has won the Chamberlain Trophy a record 21 times, has emerged triumphant in each of the three previous MXoN events on home soil. Tomac, Barcia, and Plessinger will take on the task of not only continuing that tradition, but also ending France's four-year winning streak. A victory at RedBud would subsequently end a six-year winless drought for the Americans, who will once again be led by United States Team Manager and global motocross icon Roger DeCoster.
As the defending Lucas Oil Pro Motocross 450 Class Champion and current point leader in the world's most prestigious off-road motorcycle racing series this summer, Tomac will take on the role of Team Captain and compete in the star-studded MXGP division. Over the past two seasons of Pro Motocross competition Tomac has won half of the races he's entered, including a dominant 2018 title defense in which he has won seven of the first nine rounds, and is on a path to repeat as National Champion. This is the third time Tomac has been a member of the U.S. lineup, after competing in MX2 in 2013 and the OPEN division in 2014. In each of his two previous attempts the Colorado native showed the trademark determination that has made him the superstar he is today, and he is sure to leave it all on the track for his country at one of his favorite venues.
"Having the opportunity to race [the MXoN] and represent your country in front of the world stage is a feeling like no other, and this year with it being at RedBud it's going to be next level for the entire event, and fans will be going absolutely bonkers," said Tomac. "Myself, Justin [Barcia], and Aaron [Plessinger] will be ready for the battle, and it's a track that suits our riding style. I have a really good feeling this is the year the USA gets the Chamberlain Trophy back in hand."
Barcia is the most experienced member of the U.S. lineup, having competed in the MXoN three times in 2012, 2013, and 2015. He's competed in the OPEN division in each of his previous attempts and will do so again at RedBud, a track where Barcia has won before in the 450 Class. This season Barcia has been a fixture on the podium and currently sits in a tie for third in the championship standings. He's made the most of a fill-in opportunity with Factory Yamaha, and has effectively become the manufacturer's best premier class rider on a global scale this year. Like his U.S. teammate, Barcia has always brought forth his best efforts at the MXoN, and he'll be more motivated than ever to put on a show for the home fans and bring the title back to the States.
"To be chosen for the MXoN is an honor. I've gone there in the past and always have done really well in my class. I thrive in that atmosphere and to be chosen again just shows that I'm getting back in my stride," said Barcia. "Going to RedBud is really cool. The fans there for the Pro Motocross races are crazy, so I can only imagine how they're going to be this year. It's going to be absolutely insane. I know we have a really solid team this year and it's definitely time to put the U.S. back on top. We've been chasing it for a few years now and we've come up short a lot, so it's definitely do or die now that we're on home soil. We're going there to get that trophy back. I can't wait!"
While he may be new to the MXoN experience, the atmosphere at the event should suit Plessinger nicely. With his laid-back demeanor and fun-loving attitude, Plessinger embodies the ideal mentality to have when the stakes are as high as they'll be at RedBud. Throughout the 2018 season the second-generation racer has been nothing short of incredible aboard his 250cc machine, and he'll no doubt be one of the favorites in the MX2 division. This summer Plessinger has enjoyed a breakout campaign that appears well on its way to bringing him the first national title of his professional career. He's dominated the 250 Class with five wins through the first nine rounds, including a 1-1 effort at RedBud in July. The once-in-a-lifetime experience that awaits Plessinger at the MXoN isn't lost on the rising star, and he's ready to join his teammates in putting the U.S. back on top.
"Being selected to race for the U.S. is something I always dreamed of since I decided to make this my career. I'm so excited to get to represent my country and race alongside two guys I really look up to in Eli [Tomac] and Justin [Barcia]," said Plessinger. "With [the MXoN] being in the U.S. it couldn't have been a more perfect year because, if you know me, you know that repping the red, white, and blue is a part of my lifestyle! I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing on the track because it's been working so far. I can't wait to see all the fans and hopefully keep that trophy here in the States!"
The 2018 FIM Motocross of Nations from RedBud MX will commence on October 6-7 with over 30 countries vying not only for a spot in the coveted classification of nations, but for a chance at capturing the famed Chamberlain Trophy.
The 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship continues today at Unadilla MX with the Massey Ferguson Unadilla National. First motos of the 10th round can be seen live on MAVTV at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET. The second 450 Class moto will air live on NBC broadcast network at 12 p.m. PT / 3 p.m. ET, while the final 250 Class moto can be seen via tape delay on NBC Sports Network at 4:30 p.m. PT / 7:30 p.m. ET. Additionally, all of the action can be seen as it unfolds online via the "Pro Motocross Pass" on NBC Sports Gold.

DoYouHearTheMusic.com – Top Tracks of 2013 (well a good amount of them)
Thanksgiving gave me a minute to sit back and have a little fun putting together a Top Tracks of 2013 playlist. This clearly doesn't include all of the great music that has filtered our ears this year but it is a collection of music that has been on rotation for me in 2013. I tried not to duplicate artists (I could have gone on for days with whole albums from the likes of Vampire Weekend, Cayucas, White Denim, Bastille, etc.) so I hope you like this playlist which should keep you going for hours and perfect for some holiday road trips.

Now Playing: Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers – "Hey Stranger"
The self titled album from Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers drops August 27 but lucky for you, you don't have to wait to hear "Hey Stranger," the second single off the upcoming album. This track along with the first single, "A Little Too Late" are bound to be on repeat for you for the rest of the summer. And if you don't live in the desert like me where it's hotter than hot, you'll probably be jamming this in your car with the windows down.

Q: URL rewrite issue in template file with WordPress I've made a PHP template file called page-house.php (this is standard WordPress template). So the website link is: www.example.com/house.
I've used this page template at /house and I would like it to be a dynamic url, so I can use /house/1212 to show as a clean URL where its rewritten from /house?houseid=1212.
This is what we're trying. We edited the functions.php file and added in:
function custom_rewrite_tag() {
  add_rewrite_tag('%house%', '([^&]+)');
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_tag', 10, 0);

function custom_rewrite_rule() {
add_rewrite_rule('/house/([^/]*)/?','/house?houseid=$matches[1]','top');
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_rule', 10, 0);

If I visit www.example.com/house/1212, I will get a 404 page: Not found error. When I manually enter www.example.com/house?houseid=1212, the required template file will load. I've gone to settings and refreshed the permalink settings multiple times, but it still doesn't work.
I think its some regex issue what we cannot figure out. Is there anything else that we need to do?

The germinal epithelium is the innermost layer of the testicle.
Germinal epithelium is also known as the wall of the seminiferous tubule within the testes. The cells in the epithelium are connected via tight junctions.
One may observe two types of cell in the germinal epithelium: The large Sertoli cells (which are not dividing) function as supportive cells to the developing sperm. The second cell type are the cells belonging to the spermatogenic cell lineage. These develop to eventually become sperm cells (Spermatozoon). Typically the spermatogenic cells will make four to eight layers in the germinal epithelium.

Putting the brakes on tumor stealth
by Monash University

New research undertaken at Monash University has shed new light on how some cancers are able to escape our immune system.
The findings have significant implications for the burgeoning field of cancer immunotherapy, an approach that is focused on harnessing the remarkable power of our own immune system to seek out and destroy cancer.
The research, led by Dr. Rich Berry from the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) and ARC Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging, was published today in the journal Structure.
"The immune system is complex and highly regulated, comprising a number of accelerators and brakes," explained Dr. Berry.
"While the accelerators activate the immune system, the brakes are critical to maintain the balance and prevent the immune system attacking the body's own healthy tissues."
However, many tumours exploit this mechanism by expressing markers on their surface that engage the brakes, in order to restrict the immune system.
"One method of immunotherapy, termed 'checkpoint inhibition' involves blocking the immune brakes in order to unleash the formidable power of the immune system on the tumour," Dr. Berry said.
So far, two such brakes, PD-1 and CTLA-4, have been effectively targeted in the clinic. However, despite some positive results, many patients do not respond to these treatments. Scientists are on the hunt for new immune brakes to target.
Using high intensity X-rays at the state-of-the-art Australian Synchrotron, the team from Monash determined the 3-D structure of a new immune brake, termed CD96. The structure reveals the precise molecular details of how CD96 binds to tumours.
"This is really exciting because studies using mouse models indicate that blocking CD96 might be even more effective at controlling tumour spread than the currently available treatments," Dr. Berry said.
These studies could pave the way for future experiments aimed at further interrogating the role of CD96 in tumour control, and ultimately aid in the development of novel agents for the treatment of a range of cancers.
The paper in Structure is titled Structural basis for CD96 immune receptor recognition of nectin-like protein-5 (CD155).

Гаванський університет, скороченоUH, () - один з провідних вузів Куби. Розташований в Гавані, в престижному районі Ведадо. Університет був заснований в 1728 , і став однією з перших подібних установ в Західній півкулі. Сьогодні в UH налічується 14 факультетів на яких навчаються 60 тис. студентів.

Історія
Спочатку університет мав релігійну спрямованість і носив назву Real y Pontificia Universidad de San Gerónimo de la Habana, що в перекладі з іспанської означає Королівський та Папський університет Святого Ієроніма. В XVIII ст. всім подібним закладам, які створювалися за участю іспанців, належало отримати дозвіл монарха або Папи римського, тому в назвах університетів з'являлися приставки Королівський або Папський. Дозвіл на відкриття Гаванського університету дали король Філіп V та папа Інокентій XIII.

В 1842 університет змінив свій статус і став надавати своїм студентам світську освіту. Спочатку назва була змінена на Real y Literaria Universidad de La Habana - Королівський і Літературний університет, а пізніше на Національний університет.

Спочатку університет перебував в Старій Гавані в районі Вілла-де-Сан-Крістобаль, а 1 травня 1902 він переїхав в нову будівлю, яке розташовувалася в районі Ведадо. Урочистість і величність будові надають її великі розміри, а також архітектурні елементи, виконані в стилі неокласицизму. Інтер'єри університету, створені Армандо Менокаля, прикрашають сім фресок, які символізують медицину, мистецтво, мислення, гуманітарні науки, літературу і право.

Перед головним входом встановлена бронзова статуя Альма-матер. Автором фігури, створеної в 1919 , є художник Маріо Корбель, а моделлю виступала Фелічіана «Чана» Віллалон, 16-річна дочка професора аналітичної математики Гаванського університету Хосе Рамона Віллалон Санчеса. «Чана» вийшла заміж за далекого родича Армандо Менокаля - Хуана Мануеля Менокаля, професора права. В останнього, коли той викладав в університеті, навчався майбутній глава Кубинської революції - Фідель Кастро. Внучка «Чани» і Хуана Мануеля Менокаля, Марія Роса Менокаля сьогодні є відомою письменницею, також вона займає посаду директора Гуманітарного центру Єля.

В 1952 до влади на Кубі прийшов Фульхенсіо Батиста і університет став центром антиурядових протестів. У відповідь на це, генерал закрив навчальний заклад. Лише в 1959 , новий глава держави Фідель Кастро знову відкрив університет.

Структура

У Гаванському університеті налічується 14 факультетів. Навчання проводиться за 25 різним спеціальностями, а кількість студентів дорівнює 60 тис. чоловік.

Факультети:

 Біологічний;
 Фармацевтичний і харчових продуктів;
 Фізичний;
 Географічний;
 Математики та комп'ютерних наук;
 Психологічний;
 Хімічний;

One of my favorite things about this time of year is watching our pregnant does' bellies grow! Normally, we plan for each doe to have two to three babies but singles are possible too. It is rare for us to have quads and while we have had some before, it has been at least 6 years since our last quad birth. This year it might be different though! We have our doe Twix who was ultra-sounded and we could very clearly see three babies possibly four! And then we have Madison who still has a little under a month to go and is so big her belly hangs over the milk stand!
My favorite baby belly of the year has to be Amata's! She is carrying her babies high and tight so she almost looks like she ate two basketballs. It still surprise me when she is able to stand up on the fence somedays! When she is on the move, she is able to turn her body into a wedge shaped "weapon" and will "charge" at the hay feeder or the gate! When she does, her belly pushes the surrounding goats away and she is able to secure the best spot on the feeder or be one of the first out of the gate.
I always think it is a bit of a struggle to get good belly pictures of the goats but in the past few days, I have been able to get a couple. While they illustrate how large each of the does are, I am not sure if they fully do them justice!
Twix, who is carrying triplets or quads!
Madison has to go on the last stand to make room for everyone else!
Doesn't she look like she has two basketballs in there?
