Buying one Quad4 is like buying 4 independent processors. Inside the Quad4 is a multi-effects processor that is multi- talented, and while most of us can't do more than one thing at a time, the Quad4 can do 4. Why did we put the power of 4 multi-effects processors into one unit? So you, too, would be able to do more than one thing at a time. The Quad4 features 4 completely independent inputs and outputs that give you the power of four independent mono processors or two true stereo processors. Imagine the power to process two true stereo sources simultaneously without sacrificing control.


A few years ago, three powerful men — Erdogan, Gulen and Ocalan — had a say in Turkey's future, but now Erdogan has emerged as "the man" charting the country's course.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaks to the media after voting in Istanbul, Nov. 1, 2015.
In a March 12, 2013, article for Al-Monitor, I wrote, "Turkey's future is to be decided by the nation's three most powerful men, by the equilibrium they shape among themselves and by deals they forge with each other." The three powerful men at the time were then-Prime Minister and Justice and Development Party (AKP) Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdogan; the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) jailed founding leader, Abdullah Ocalan; and Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen, the head of the Hizmet Movement or "the Community," who lives in self-exile in the United States.
The three men owed their power to a number of common characteristics. They all wielded enormous clout and charisma over their followers, had extraordinary organizational talents and entertained distinct visions for the future and projects for an alternative society. Their interactions, I argued, would determine Turkey's course.
After all the extraordinary developments Turkey has been through since 2013, including the AKP's unexpectedly big victory margin in the Nov. 1, 2015, elections, I can now assert that Erdogan, using all his power and doing whatever it takes, has managed to overcome all obstacles to become "the man." Gulen and Ocalan have emerged the losers, far behind where they stood in March 2013.
For Erdogan, 2013 was an annus horribilis. The first threat to his political power came in June with the Gezi Park protests, in which more than 3 million people took part in 80 of Turkey's 81 provinces, according to police figures. The anger boiling over in the streets targeted Erdogan directly, rather than the AKP. Pushing aside the party's moderates, Erdogan suppressed the monthslong demonstrations with disproportionate and bloody police violence that overrode the basic rights and freedoms enshrined in the constitution.
In December 2013, Erdogan was shaken again, this time with corruption probes that targeted government ministers, members of his family and business cronies. The resulting evidence, including wiretaps — apparently the product of an extensive pursuit and investigative work by the Gulen community's network within the police and the judiciary — spoke of corruption and bribery at a scale unprecedented in Turkish history. It was an existential challenge not only to Erdogan's rule but to him as a person, and it galvanized him to strike back with all the power he wielded over the state, politics and the media. The police operations and probes were blocked through overt and direct interventions with the judiciary and the de facto suspension of constitutional provisions.
Erdogan and the AKP emerged victorious from the all-out war they mounted against the Gulen community after the probes. Over the past two years, thousands of judicial officials and police officers deemed to be linked to the community have been removed from office, often unlawfully. Many have been expelled from their professions altogether, and some have been charged with membership in a "terrorist organization" led by Gulen.
The Gulenist media took some of the heaviest blows, including the seizure of the Koza Ipek business group, which owns two newspapers and two TV channels. Many journalists from Gulenist quarters were detained, including five who remain behind bars on charges of espionage and running a terrorist organization. Most recently, on Nov. 15, 13 television and radio channels of the community's largest media group, Samanyolu, were removed from the state-owned Turksat satellite.
In a clear sign that the government's war would not be limited to Gulenist media and Gulenist followers within the state, police on Nov. 6 raided the Ankara offices of the Turkish Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists, the umbrella group of Gulenist entrepreneurs. Similar raids on educational institutions linked to the community have already become a virtually routine occurrence.
In sum, Gulen is today a leader whose power and clout within state and society has dramatically diminished. The movement he built since the 1970s is being gradually dismantled by the Erdogan government.
As for Ocalan, he has been in prison since 1999 but has perhaps been the world's most influential inmate. One has to recall that "the peace and settlement process" had officially kicked off March 21, 2013, when a message from Ocalan urging the PKK's armed units to pull out of Turkey was read to hundreds of thousands of Kurds at Nowruz celebrations in Diyarbakir.
The government made a political decision to recognize Ocalan as an interlocutor and placed him at the center of the process. Hence, the process was named after the island of Imrali where Ocalan serves his life sentence in a special prison. The Imrali process, however, had one very important weakness that jeopardized its sustainability. That problem stemmed from Erdogan.
Erdogan built a link of conditionality between the Imrali process and the introduction of the Turkish-style presidential system he aspires to, with that bridge being a constitutional amendment. He made the PKK's disarmament a precondition for any steps forward, thus deadlocking the process. Ankara refused to take any consensus-building or administrative steps during the process, which ended in July 2015 with Turkish warplanes launching massive raids on PKK targets in northern Iraq. Citing Ankara's reluctance, the PKK had already suspended its withdrawal from Turkish territory in September 2013.
Erdogan's ultimate decision to end the Imrali process was precipitated by the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party's (HDP) decision to approach the June 7 elections as a party instead of fielding independents and to build its campaign on the slogan "We won't let you become an executive president." As the HDP passed the 10% national threshold to enter parliament, the AKP lost a considerable number of seats, making Erdogan's objectives more difficult to attain. To make up for the expected losses, Erdogan set his sight on the nationalist vote and changed his tune. He was now saying, "There is no Kurdish problem," thus knocking over the negotiating table. His ire led to a halt in meetings between Ocalan and his lawyers, who used to carry Ocalan's messages to the PKK. Ocalan's isolation, which began in April, continues to date.
Amid the reignited conflict, many cities and towns in the predominantly Kurdish southeast are today the scene of destruction and bloodshed. Even if the clashes were stopped tomorrow in favor of talks, the new peace process could hardly be called "the second Imrali process." This is because Ocalan's loss of ground and power did not result solely from Erdogan's moves. In a new shift since the Islamic State's (IS) seizure of Mosul in June 2014, the PKK leadership, based in Iraq's Qandil Mountains, and the Syrian Kurds' Democratic Union Party have emerged as the real allies of the United States, Russia and Iran against IS on the ground. The new situation has empowered the PKK leadership as never before, making it harder for Ankara to have Ocalan as its only interlocutor and continue on its way relying on Ocalan's power and clout over his organization.
In sharp contrast to 2013, 2014 was Erdogan's annus mirabilis. In the municipal polls in March last year, the AKP lost 7 percentage points of its electoral support but retained the country's two biggest cities, Istanbul and Ankara, thus emerging psychologically unscathed. Then, in August, Erdogan won 52% in the first round of the presidential elections, becoming Turkey's first head of state elected by popular vote. No doubt the opposition's ineptness played a big part in these election victories. Erdogan's ascent to the top postmarked Turkey's shift to "a de facto presidential regime," as he put it.
By mid-2015, the strains of economic woes, the burden of corruption and the negative image of Erdogan's new, pompous palace had a combined impact on the electorate, which led to a fatigued and worn-out AKP losing its parliamentary majority in the June 7 elections. Yet, Erdogan refused to give up. He stymied efforts to form a coalition government and took the country to another election Nov. 1.
Meanwhile, press freedom in Turkey had hit an unprecedented low under multifaceted government pressures employed as another election-winning tool.
Gripped by fear over the revived conflict with the PKK and terrorist attacks attributed to IS, conservative and right-wing voters pinned their hopes on a strong, one-party government again and handed the AKP an election victory that exceeded even its own expectations.
The process that made Erdogan Turkey's "one and only powerful man" has taken a heavy toll on the country's constitutional and legal order, its democracy and institutions. Each time Erdogan lost some power, he moved to regain it using all his remaining power, at whatever expense. He might have stepped back at times, but he never chose to reconcile, always playing the zero-sum game. As a result, the AKP government has today become an Erdogan regime. And after the Nov. 1 elections, the only things that can stop this regime now are its own mistakes and structural weaknesses.


District 9 Sleeps Alone | This Is A Weblog.
I like to go into my movies fresh. I mean really fresh. I'll watch a teaser for something, if there is one, or the first 30 seconds of a full trailer. If I'm watching the trailer online, I'll simply stop it once I get the idea. If I'm watching the trailer in the theater, I'll actually close my eyes after a certain point and do my best to ignore the sound.
Neill Blomkamp's directorial debut District 9 was no exception. I watched the initial teaser trailer and went on a media blackout from then on. But I tell ya, that teaser stuck with me.
It didn't depict exactly what the movie would be like, but it conveyed the premise and my imagination did the rest. Now I've seen the actual film and I'm having trouble reconciling what I saw on the screen and what I saw in my head.
I can't help but judge this movie two separate ways. It succeeds in terms of execution but also fails by limiting itself to being a pedestrian action flick.
The film begins by getting the audience up to speed, documentary style, with the events of the past twenty years. An alien mothership has been hovering over Johannesburg and the aliens that occupied it now live in a contained slum known as District 9.
All of this is great, great stuff. The effects are fantastic, the story is gripping, and faux-documentary is always a winning style choice if you ask me (Death of a President anyone?). It begins to scratch the surface of all the sociological questions raised by these visitors… Then we start to follow around one alien affairs officer who begins to mutate into an alien.
Then, in the third act, our protagonist teams up with an alien in a sequence reminiscent of Aliens vs. Predator. Yes, this movie reminded me of AVP. (That's never a good thing.) Together they proceed to run and gun. And gun and run.
Is it entertaining? For sure. Well done? Absolutely. Original? Eh, not particularly. Unforgettable? Hardly.
I suppose my overall gripe is with the filmmakers' content selection. I found myself much more interested in the complexities of the mass relocation of a hostile alien race than in a pencil pusher going through a Fly-esque transformation. The vision they present to us in the beginning is worldwide in scope and its ramifications are on a macro scale. But by the end of the picture we find ourselves following a guy and his alien buddy trying to reclaim a MacGuffin.
Speaking of the finale, did I miss something or did it not seem to make much sense? So the ship's fuel also has the interesting property of causing genetic mutation in humans? And is the fuel just for the drop-ship or the mothership or both? Did he need all that fuel just to fire up the tractor beam (which apparently is all that was really required)? Did he really just fall to his knees and give a 'go on without me' speech?
And so I stand before you a conflicted man. I love action as much as the next guy but some more depth would have been appreciated. Lord knows I'm not asking for an intergalactic Crash here, I just want some more effort put into the plotting of the second half.
As is, it is a great movie and you should see it. I just can't help but remain fixated on the fact that telling a different story using the same premise could have yielded more spectacular results.
UPDATE: I know the reaction to the film has been very strong and positive. But I just wanted to toss out the fact I'm not alone. A former professor of mine and current filmmaker/scriptwriter/blogger posted about District 9 with similar feelings to my own. And frankly he put it a lot more succinctly than I did, so be sure to check it out HERE.
I could not agree with you more, I really liked it, I just wanted more from the story line.
George Thorogood – I drink alone?
I saw the movie tonight and agree 100% with your comments, I actually can't wait for District 10????
I feel they will explain more alien technology with district 10. I mean this movie was from the point of view of how the humans view the aliens essentially, and they have no f'in clue how their technology works. digressing into why their magic space juice fuels ships and alters dna wouldn't really of fit in well with the pacing of the movie. I mean Christopher was the only one who seemed to be an intelligent prawn and having him explain to Wikus the inner workings of their technology would have worked contrary to the action plot this movie was designed for.
True Matt, but it does seem a little convenient that they were able to find this tiny bit of fluid after twenty years of searching in some random junkyard, and also that the same thing that could save the alien race also is capable of driving the entire plot of the movie forward. I don't think it was necessary to have both be the same thing, and while they did an adequate job of explaining it, it was still one of my few issues with the movie. I do disagree with comments that say that because it was an action movie in the end that the message was clumsily handled. I think they did an excellent job of subtly layering a message underneath the plot. In fact I would wager it was the main focus, which might explain some of the convenient circumstances in the plot. In my opinion District 9 was a movie about a person coming to understand the people/animals/things he oppressed. It's a universal theme that could be true for any oppressed group. I think they handled this with a suprising amount of subtlty, genius and control. I do wish that the plot hadn't taken a back seat to the message quite so strongly though.


I'm sure you heard of the mighty acai berry by now.
And by heard of it, I mean you probably don't know it's a berry from South American rainforests, and you have no idea how to pronounce it, but acai bowls definitely blow up your Instagram feed lately, and you're wondering what they're about.
I don't blame you. Those bowls are so pretty! They're heaped with nuts, granola, bananas, strawberries and blueberries, and sometimes, there's peanut butter drizzled on top.
Now that we're all on the same page, let's talk about some questions you may have about this purple berry.
This is a tough one. For years, I went around saying "a-kai," only to learn I was saying it embarrassingly wrong.
What's so great about acai?
Acai berries are more special than regular berries in a lot of ways. For example, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries all grow on bushes. Acai berries, on the other hand, grow on palm trees in the Amazon.
Acai berries aren't as sweet as regular berries, either; they're dark, rich and can even be a little bitter. But with a some added sweetness (whether you add sugar yourself or get enough of it from toppings), the flavor is strong, unique and delicious.
Now, for the really great stuff: Acai is loaded with health benefits.
Recent results from studies have made the fruit very popular due to its high antioxidant capacity (antioxidants help fight the free radicals in our body, which are the 'bad guys' that disrupt the health of our cells), its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its cardio protective activities.
Acai is one of the most studied fruits by researchers right now and is being used in our food, pharmaceuticals and even in our cosmetic industry.
Yep, acai is a superfood. Why wouldn't you want to eat it every day for breakfast?
Where can I get acai?
Since acai berries only grow in the rainforest, you're probably wondering how you can get them out of the Amazon and into your kitchen.
Hayim tells Elite Daily because acai berries start to lose their nutritional qualities just 24 hours after they're picked, they're not quite as easy to ship as other fruits.
Therefore, acai is available in the United States in the form of powder, juice and frozen packs. Watch out, though — a lot of those juices and packs can beextremelyhigh in sugar. So check out sugar-free versions, like these from Sambazon.
You can always add sugar later.
What can I do with acai?
Frozen acai packs are great for tossing in a blender with some almond milk and banana and topping with anything your heart desires.
If smoothies aren't really your thing and you want to think outside the box, try whipping up a batch of Hayim's acai overnight oats. This recipe is delicious, will keep you full for a while and only contains five ingredients.
Intrigued? Check out Hayim's full recipe here.
Now that you know everything there is to know about the mighty acai berry, toss it in a blender and brag to your friends about how good you are at pronouncing it.


Bleeding gums are usually a sign that you have gum diseases, causes of bleeding gums can also result from: Brushing too hard, a vitamin deficiency, taking blood thinners or other medications, bleeding or clotting disorders, hormonal changes during pregnancy, resulting in pregnancy gingivitis, dentures that don't fit, mouth sores, and other medical problems, including diabetes, heart disease, leukemia or scurvy.
It is important to see a dentist or medical professional to determine the causes of bleeding gums and they will offer the right treatment.
Seeking treatment at the first sign of the problem can help reverse gingivitis and help prevent periodontal disease. If you suffer from an advanced form of periodontal disease, your dentist may recommend ongoing bleeding gums treatment or periodontal therapy.
The best way to stop bleeding gums is to see the dentist.
Use a soft toothbrush– and brush properly! Brush your teeth for at least two minutes twice a day and after meals. Hard brushing can further damage the soft tissues of your mouth.
Floss at least once a day and be sure to floss beyond the gum line to remove more plaque.
Control bleeding by applying pressure to the area with a cold compress.
Rinse with salt water or hydrogen peroxide to keep the area clean. Avoid mouthwashes that contain alcohol, which can dry out your mouth.
Stay away from smoking and other tobacco products, which can aggravate bleeding gums.
Eat a balanced diet and limit snacking between meals. Carbohydrates and sugars feed dental plaque.
Have your dentures aligned as needed.

Bruce Little, sporting artist
Bruce Little's latest sculpture is now greeting visitors to Longleat after a tortuous journey from South Africa, as he explains to Janet Menzies
Dawn Patrol at Longleat.
To raise awareness for lions in the wild and conservation, Bruce Little has gone larger than life. Despite a journey as torturous as transporting the living counterpart, his enormous bronze statue is now safely installed at Longleat – and he can turn his attention to his legacy.
For more sporting artists, Daniel Crane's enthusiasm for hunting infuses his paintings. And Luci Maclaren depicts traditional, sporting scenes in a vibrant, contemporary style.
BRUCE LITTLE
Live African wildlife has been transported to Europe for exhibition since the time of the Roman Empire. Pliny writes about the capture of elephants and second-century sporting writer Oppian gives descriptions of lions being trapped in North Africa, using a pit to catch and hold a lion until a "plaited well-compacted cage" was lowered, baited with meat, so that the now-hungry lion walked into it.
The much-larger-than-life-size statue had a long and complex journey from South Africa to Wiltshire.
Capturing the animal is one thing but the actual transportation of large African animals is still a massive problem for wildlife conservationists today. African wildlife sculptor and conservationist Bruce Little knows just what this is like. In February, his massive, much-larger-than-life-size bronze lion sculpture, called Dawn Patrol, goes into place at Longleat House to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Lions of Longleat, replacing the temporary fibre-glass version. The transportation of the enormous lion sculpture from Little's South African home to Wiltshire has been every bit as challenging as the journeys undertaken by its living counterparts.
"Even the foundry where the lion was assembled had to increase the height of its doors to get the completed bronze out," says Little, describing the complexities of the project. "Then it was put on rollers and we walked it out of the studio. Then we got a crane and put mounting points on the base of the sculpture so that we could lift it onto a low-loader for the next stage of its journey. The lion was too big for an ordinary shipping container so we had to have one purpose-made. That was too big to go in the hold, so it has travelled over the sea on the deck of the ship. Now it has docked in England and the whole process is repeated to get it up to Longleat."
Working on the double-life-size Cape Buffalo project.
Compare this with the journey of the giraffe Zarafa, which travelled to Paris in 1827 as a gift from Muhammed Ali of Egypt to Charles X of France. Zarafa went over the Mediterranean by ship from Alexandria to Marseilles. A hole had to be cut through the deck above the cargo hold and Zarafa spent the month-long voyage with her head and neck poking through onto the deck. She arrived in the south of France in the autumn and the plan was then to ship her on up the Atlantic to the mouth of the Seine. However, it was too much to ask her to survive another long voyage so, instead, it was decided to walk her through France to Paris. Wearing a yellow coat and horse-shoes, and accompanied by a small herd of cows, she spent the next month or so wandering through Provence and northwards, growing inches – and a fan base. By the time she arrived in Lyon, a cheering crowd of 30,000 turned out to greet her.
Little would be delighted if his Longleat lion wins as much publicity. "With this project I really want to celebrate lions and I planned this massive lion to be a beacon for lions in the wild, because the conservation issue is so important. I want to raise awareness. The size was a way of attracting public attention and giving a voice to the animals. So the lion had to be even bigger than the lions in Trafalgar Square, though that means the challenge of making it has been long and complex."
Life Size Pointer.
The lion is already meeting Little's objectives. He explains: "I was a wildlife guide when I started and that is important to my sculpture, so it is wonderful to be able to bring the two together. The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation heard about what I was doing and gave me the opportunity to enter a copy into its auction last year, where it raised more than 14 million rand. Conservation runs in my veins and I want my work to make a positive contribution to that. I may only be able to achieve a little personally but if everybody did their bit the planet really would be a better place. I would make a lion twice that size if I thought it would help."
After a successful exhibition in London, he has to get back into the studio to make more sculptures – but his next big idea is already forming. "I want to get a community art project going in Cape Town. There are great artists basically working on the streets and they find it very difficult to get a platform to show their work, so my next aim is to create a base and a structure for these talented young artists. It has taken me 20 years to get this far – now it is time to think about legacy."

Many applications rely on menus to assist the user with their interaction with the computer. To fully support this interaction, Microsoft Windows provides the menus with various characteristics meant to serve different purposes. Based on this, menus have such behaviors and properties as alignment, radio buttons, check boxes, grouping, etc.
An item in the top-level of a menu is referred to as popup. To visually create a popup menu, you can click the Menu node from the Add Resource dialog box; click Type Here and type a string for the menu category.
In the Resource View, double-click IDR_MAINFRAME to get back to the menu.
While or after creating your menu, you may find out that a menu category is in the wrong sequence or a menu item is in the wrong position. You can visually move either a menu category or a menu item.
To menu a menu category, click an hold the mouse on it. Drag either left or right in the direction of your choice. As you are moving it, a short vertical line with double arrows will follow and guide you. Once the vertical line is positioned where you want the menu category to be, release the mouse.
To move a menu item, click and hold your mouse on it. Drag either up or down where you want to position it. While you are dragging, a horizontal line will guide you. Once the line is positioned where you want the menu item ot be, release the mouse.
A menu separator is a line that separates two groups of menu items. It can be used in two main ways. It can simply be used to set apart different groups, or, as we will see later on, it can assist with implementing the behavior of radio buttons in a menu.
Notice that a separator was added between Open and Exit.
When we study menu maintenance, we will see that many routine operations require that you be able to locate a menu item before taking action. Locating an item is possible if you consider that the menus item are stored in a 0-based list.
If you look at the menu of most applications, one letter on every menu is underlined allowing the users to access the menu without using the mouse. That menu should first receive focus, this is done by pressing Alt or F10, then eventually, the underlined letter of the menu that the user wants to access. For example, if you press Alt, then F now, the File menu will open. Get in the same good habit of accommodating your users. The mnemonics can be used anywhere in your application, including dialog boxes, combo boxes, check boxes, radio buttons, etc. So, get in the habit of using them. The ones on the menu will be used if the menu has focus (Alt or F10). The others are available anytime.
A mnemonic is created by using the ampersand & before the letter you judge appropriate. On the categories of a main menu, you should use a unique letter for each category Consider the main menu of Microsoft Visual Studio. Only one F letter is underlined on the whole main menu, only one E, only one V, etc. Programmers tend to consider the first letter of each top menu. If you get in a situation where two words start with the same letter, consider using the 2nd letter. For example, if you have one category with File and another category with Format, you can apply the first mnemonic on the F of File and use the o letter on Format.
Sometimes you will get in a situation where either you get confused because of so much menu to create, or too many items that need mnemonics. In any case you can ask Microsoft Visual Studio to help you identify double mnemonics. To do this, right-click a menu and select Check Mnemonics.
A shortcut is an action, similar to that of a menu item, that can be performed by pressing one or a combination of keys. For example, to open the Start menu of Microsoft Windows, you can press Ctrl + Esc, to open the System menu of any application, press Alt + Space, to save a document on most (if not all) Microsoft applications, press Ctrl + S., etc. For a typical program, you should provide a shortcut to your users for most menu actions performed on your application. As a suggestion, observe other applications, such as a word processor. Many actions on such an application have shortcuts even when the shortcut is not listed. It allows people who like shortcuts to do their job faster, it also anticipates the situations when the mouse is behaving badly.
People who use Microsoft Windows and Microsoft software products are usually familiar with a lot of "universal" shortcuts such as Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, Delete, etc. You can see some of these if you click File or Edit on the main menu. Those are shortcuts that are explicitly and readily available. Other shortcuts, though completely efficient, can also be made available.
The easiest way to let users know about the shortcuts is by displaying them on the menu. For example Ctrl+N, Ctrl+C, etc are already displayed on the menu. To provide a shortcut, append \t and the shortcut combination in the Caption of a menu item.
The status bar can be used to display a message to the user about a menu item, like a small detail. Here is an example, on the main menu of Microsoft Visual Studio, click Projects followed by a menu item and look at the Status Bar. While the menu is still opened, move the mouse to another menu item and look at the Status Bar. When you have finished, press Esc twice to dismiss the menu.
To specify the message that would be displayed on the status bar, when designing the menu, click a menu item and, in the Properties window, type a string in the Prompt field.

For CB radios, the longer the antenna, the better its results. Your dealer will be able to help you with your choice of antenna.
Must be fixed to the vehicle where there is a maximum of metallic surface (ground plane), away from windscreen mountings.
If you already have a radio-telephone antenna installed, the CB antenna should be higher than this.
There are two types of antenna: pre-regulated which should be used on a good ground plane (e.g. car roof or lid of the boot), and adjustable which offer a much larger range and can be used on a smaller ground plane (voir Adjustment of SWR).
For an antenna which must be fixed by drilling, you will need a good contact between the antenna and the ground plane. To obtain this, you should lightly scratch the surface where the screw and tightening star are to be placed.
Be careful not to pinch or flatten the coaxial cable (as this runs the risk of break down and/or short circuiting).
A fixed antenna should be installed in a clear a space as possible. If it is fixed to a mast, it will perhaps be necessary to stay it, according to the laws in force (you should seek professional advice).
All PRESIDENT antennas and accessories are designed to give maximum efficiency to each CB radio within the range.

Muslims & Jews Partner to Improve Relations, Improve the City of LA
Moving beyond the ongoing crisis in the Middle East which often puts Muslim and Jewish Americans at odds, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and the Progressive Jewish Alliance (PJA) are launching "NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change" -- an innovative new program designed to bridge differences, promote mutual understanding and build community.
NewGround will engage diverse groups of Muslims and Jews in an innovative community-building process of intra- and inter- faith education and reflection, leadership training, and civic engagement. Scheduled to be launched in January 2007, this program utilizes a creative and dynamic new approach to Muslim-Jewish community-building, and is the result of extensive research of previous Muslim-Jewish dialogue efforts conducted in Los Angeles and throughout the country.
"The purpose of NewGround is to create an effective model for Muslim-Jewish interaction that neither ignores nor becomes hostage to the ever-shifting realities in the Middle East," said Salam Al-Marayati, MPAC's Executive Director. "The goal is to provide a forum for Muslims and Jews to engage in open and frank dialogue on these issues with the goal of mutual understanding and joint civic engagement, not political conversion."
"We've learned from past dialogue efforts that simply talking about similarities and differences doesn't move hearts or change minds," said PJA Executive Director Daniel Sokatch. "We're taking the next step by bringing committed people from both communities together to learn about and reflect with 'the other' - and then we're putting them to work on fixing the problems that impact their families and their neighborhoods here in Los Angeles."
NewGround aims to create a sweeping change of attitude within the Muslim and Jewish communities, rather than solely among leadership. Through intensive learning, skills-training, and reflection, NewGround will build small groups of committed and trained individuals who will bring their new skills to their larger communities. NewGround will generate new Muslim-Jewish community-building leaders, with the expectation that alumni will act as trainers/facilitators for groups in coming years. Each organization has hired a full-time staff person to run the project in a dynamic and collaborative process.
Applications for involvement in NewGround's first cadre -- for young professionals between 25-39 years old -- are available now at http://www.muslimjewishnewground.org/ and are due on January 10, 2007. After an interview process, the first class will be announced at a ceremony in City Hall in late January, and the program will begin formally in mid-February 2007.
For more information about NewGround, contact MPAC's Interfaith Program Coordinator Aziza Hasan at 213-383-3443 or aziza@mpac.org.

He was born in Lockney, Texas, where he was the eldest child of a large farm family. He won a scholarship to attend Rice University, earning a B.A. with honors in 1926. He completed his graduate studies at the same institution, earning an M.A. in 1927 and being awarded his Ph.D. in 1931. In 1928 he was married to Avarilla Hildenbrand, and the couple had a son.
He moved to Columbia University, becoming a professor of geology in 1947. In 1959 he was named the Higgins Professor of Geology at Columbia. Dr. Ewing (often simply called 'Doc' by those who worked with him) was the founder (established in 1949) and first director of Lamont Geological Observatory (now known as Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) in Palisades, New York) where he worked with J. Lamar Worzel (gravity specialist), Dr. Frank Press (seismologist), Jack Nafe, and Jack Oliver. The former LDEO research vessel R/V Maurice Ewing was named in his honor.
He divorced a second time, and married Harriet Greene Bassett in 1965. In 1972 he joined the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, and was named the head of the Division of Earth and Planetary Sciences of the Marine Biomedical Institute.
During his career he published over 340 scientific papers. He served as president of the American Geophysical Union and the Seismological Society of America. He led over 50 oceanic expeditions. He made many contributions to oceanography, including the discovery of the SOFAR Channel, the invention of the sofar bomb, and did much work fundamental on plate tectonics. He was the chief scientist on board the Glomar Challenger. He originated Project Mogul, an early program to detect Soviet nuclear weapons tests.

How long is Christian McCaffrey out? Injury timeline, return date, latest updates on Panthers RB
Christian McCaffrey simply cannot stay healthy.
The 25-year-old running back is dealing with yet another injury to his lower body. He suffered the ankly injury in the first half of the Panthers' 33-10 loss to the Dolphins. He was never declared out for the game after rolling his ankle, but he played sparingly in the Panthers' blowout loss.
It turns out that McCaffrey's injury is serious. As a result, the Panthers have to place him on IR once again.
McCaffrey's latest IR stint marks the fourth time in the last two seasons that he has landed on that inactive list. He has played in just 10 games since signing a four-year, $64 million contract before the 2020 NFL season.
Here's everything to know about McCaffrey's injury and what it means for the Panthers.
INJURY UPDATES: Dalvin Cook
How long is Christian McCaffrey out?
McCaffrey was spotted in a walking boot after the Panthers' loss to the Dolphins. He was never ruled out of the game despite suffering the injury in the first half.
Coach Matt Rhule didn't have much of an update about McCaffrey's condition in the immediate aftermath of the game. All that was known was McCaffrey would get an MRI to check on his injury Monday.
As early as Monday morning, Rhule indicated that he didn't believe McCaffrey's injury was serious. However, the injury reportedly "swelled up significantly overnight" and the MRI revealed enough damage that McCaffrey would have to be placed on IR once again.
Matt Rhule was hopeful the Panthers would get good news on Christian McCaffrey, who was never ruled out of Sunday's game and tried to play through it.
I'm told ankle swelled up significantly overnight. Because of recovery time, decision was made to place him on IR.
— Joe Person (@josephperson) November 29, 2021
McCaffrey already had an IR stint earlier in the season while dealing with a hamstring injury. Once a player is placed on IR a second time, he is automatically ruled out for the rest of the season. So, McCaffrey will miss the Panthers' remaining five regular-season games and any potential postseason action as well.
That means McCaffrey will have missed 23 games over the last two seasons while playing in just 10. His combined scrimmage yards in 2020 and 2021 amounted to 1,159 in 10 games. In 2019, he had more than double that — 2,392 yards — while playing in all 16 games.
TRADE RUMORS: Why Washington is a good fit for Russell Wilson
What is Christian McCaffrey's injury?
McCaffrey is dealing with an unspecified ankle injury. He reportedly "rolled" or "tweaked" it against the Dolphins.
McCaffrey has dealt with ankle issues before. He missed six games in 2020 as a result of a high-ankle sprain. It's unclear whether his current injury is similar to that, but the recovery timetable of 4-6 weeks for high-ankle sprains about lines up with McCaffrey's projected absence.
NFL POWER RANKINGS: Patriots, 49ers surge after victories
Christian McCaffrey injury timeline
— Sept. 23: McCaffrey exits the Panthers' "Thursday Night Football" game with a hamstring injury. He is ruled out for the game.
— Oct. 7: After missing the Panthers' Week 4 loss to the Cowboys, McCaffrey says that he "definitely" has a chance to play in Week 5 against the Vikings.
— Oct. 8: McCaffrey is listed as "doubtful" on the injury report ahead of the Panthers-Eagles game.
— Oct. 10: The Panthers officially list McCaffrey as inactive, marking his second consecutive missed game.
— Oct. 13: Rhule says that McCaffrey is "50-50" to play against the Vikings in Week 6. He had used the same language in describing McCaffrey's availability the previous week.
Matt Rhule says Christian McCaffrey is probably 50-50 and will probably go right up until game day, which is what he said last week … until Friday, when he listed him as doubtful.
— Joe Person (@josephperson) October 13, 2021
— Oct. 16: The Panthers place McCaffrey on IR after being ruled out a third straight game due to the hamstring injury.
— Nov. 6: Carolina activates McCaffrey from IR ahead of Week 9. He is available to play against the Patriots.
— Nov. 7: McCaffrey logs 106 yards on 18 touches against the Patriots.
— Nov. 21: McCaffrey avoids being listed on the injury report, plays and finishes three consecutive games for the Panthers.
— Nov. 28: During the Panthers-Dolphins game, McCaffrey rolls his ankle. He is not ruled out but plays sparingly in the second half and is seen after the game in a walking boot.
— Nov. 29: McCaffrey is placed on IR after an MRI to determine the severity of his ankle injury. His season is over, as players are ruled out for the year once they have a second stint on IR.

That's an interesting question. I do now. I guess when I started, I started writing in the 1969-1970 period, I thought of it as a kind of literary writing or experimental work in writing, more than I thought of it as poetry. Poetry I think of now as an institutional designation, so as soon as I began publishing and getting in touch with other writers, it was clear that any future for anything I did or anything they were doing was going to be under the category of poetry as defined by other people. So, over the years I've just accepted that. I remember, for instance, when the term 'language poetry' started getting thrown around, and my original nervousness about the term stemmed mostly from the P word rather than from the L word. You know, that I thought of it as language writing, a term that I wasn't all that displeased with, because it suggested almost a new genre or a new sub-genre possibility that hadn't yet been defined, so that it would be a type of writing that had the certain way of foregrounding the way meaning was produced and operated on in a social world, rather than language poetry, which then implies that language is the adjective referring to a sub-category of what we already think of as poetry.
Here is an audio recording of the LINEbreak show featuring Bruce Andrews.
BERRIGAN: You just mentioned the secret actually of all my entire poetry, which is that it has to do with planes of reality, of perception. Not of reality, because that sounds theoretical, but with planes of being coming not in a theoretical sense but in a sense of trying to get accurate. I am talking to you but he is thinking about it while I am talking.
ROBINSON: And they, they said something about this, too. And other peoples' voices come into your work.
BERRIGAN: They are over there, though, and I is here. And he is a little bit over there but is near.
ROBINSON: So there's an incredible sense of location.
Having internalized the way in which "Young Woman at a Window" (W. C. Williams) beckons toward (a) readers, (b) WCW himself, somewhat mischievously looking in from outside, and (c) the absent, waited-for father, Matthew Abess took to the American road, and found, in Centralia, Washington, a decorative plate for sale, entitled "Daddy's Home," yours for just $2.50. I assume Matt bought it.


One of the school's design features, however, offers a view in the other direction — to the long-ago past, as measured in millions and billions of years.
This design element is the school's Geologic Time Walk, a collaborative construction feature conceived and built by Virginia Beach City Public Schools, RRMM Architects, faculty members and general contractor McKenzie Construction Corp.
A major supporting role, however, was played by Carolina Bomanite Corp., the decorative and architectural concrete contractor that installed and served as a key design participant for the Geologic Time Walk. Carolina Bomanite recommended materials and design details, such as stamping tools, and provided answers to various design challenges that took the time walk from abstract design concept to built reality.
Old Donation School, completed in 2017, replaces facilities for three "gifted learner" programs operated by VBCPS. The $63 million, 225,000-square-foot facility uses "circulation space" as "learning space," with small collaboration rooms in between classrooms called "think tanks" for smaller independent groups. Outdoor classrooms also provide learning spaces.
Much of the school's curriculum focuses on the geography and ecology of the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. The region's concern with storm water runoff and rising sea levels are reflected in the curriculum's emphasis on ecosystems, aquatic and marine life, and environmental sciences.
The school is designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, with advanced HVAC systems, LED lighting, extensive daylighting, collecting rainwater to flush toilets, and other "green" design elements.
"Students and staff asked for colorful, wide-open spaces and lots of daylight, so that's what we gave them," says Rob Berz, RRMM's design architect for the school.
On the Geologic Time Walk, one can find replicas of fossil remnants of the various eras and epochs of the Earth's past. There's the Mesozoic Era, for example, some 252 million to 66 million years ago. If that term doesn't ring a bell, surely you've heard of the Jurassic, made famous by Hollywood through a series of films with immense special effects. The Jurassic period is the portion of the Mesozoic when the great dinosaurs dominated the planet.
The Geologic Time Walk dramatizes the mind-boggling size and scope of geologic time, and the miniscule place human history occupies in the scale of Earth's existence.
The earliest modern humans are thought to have emerged some 200,000 years ago, during the current geologic era, the Cenozoic. The Precambrian eon of geologic time, meanwhile, is dated to when Earth was forming some 4.6 billion years ago. Along the way from coalesced mass orbiting the Sun those many years ago, to earliest life forms, to the age of reptiles and age of mammals, to the dawn of man, the succession of geologic periods etched a fossil record documenting the genesis and evolution of life forms both extinct and existing.
So, the Geologic Time Walk task facing Carolina Bomanite and the school design team was downright dinosaur size in scope of design and installation challenge, if not in sheer physical size.
The Geologic Time Walk came to the attention of Carolina Bomanite in late 2013 or 2014, when architects for the Old Donation School project contacted the company. After talking to suppliers of concrete stamps and artwork templates, Fletcher got back to the architects on what was possible in delivering on the design concept.
He submitted samples of time walk sections that included fossils created with stamp tools and acid etching, concrete surface textures and integrally colored concrete.
For fossil imprints, Carolina Bomanite enlisted the craftsmanship of Matcrete Decorative Concrete Products and Surface Gel Tek. Matcrete supplied a variety of stamp tools from its Fossil Effects product line. Surface Gel Tek's role was significantly more complex, as the company produced customized templates of fossil images, words and numbers to be etched into the concrete using Surface Gel Tek's gelled-acid etching process.
For Carolina Bomanite, installing the time walk presented the challenges of skilled concrete construction, geometric precision and artistic craftsmanship. Fletcher went with a relatively small crew, recognizing the need for tight management of all the processes involved.
In the spring of 2017, "Wind was the biggest issue," Fletcher says. "It was an open area, and unusually windy." This put the crew to the test in ensuring consistency in the pours.
Concrete with integral colors was used, with each color of the walkway indicating a different span of geologic time. The colors from Scofield, most of which have since been discontinued, were Sombrero Buff, Navajo Red, Roman Tile, Surrey Beige and Moonlight Gray.
The entire walkway surface was textured with a Bomanite slate mat. To lend authenticity to the visuals, other textures were matched with individual fossil images and used on the concrete surface adjacent to the fossils. The texture and fossil stamps from Matcrete were placed as the sections of walkway were poured.
The fossil templates from Surface Gel Tek were "sticky" self-adhesive elements attached to the hardened concrete. Here, acid gel was used to etch the surface prior to a secondary coloring process using Bomanite Micro-Top.
The gelled-acid Flattoo process from Surface Gel Tek was used for much of the walkway's fossil artwork and geologic timeline elements. For the project, owner Tamryn Doolan created custom vinyl adhesive templates based on images of fossils specified by the Old Donation design team. Doolan also created templates for the geologic terms and the numbers indicating years of various geologic periods.
To create these elements, Doolan employs a software graphics program that creates multidimensional templates that can be used for acid etching and coloring concrete. Following design-team approval of the artwork, a vinyl adhesive template is produced and shipped to the contractor.
To create the intended image, the template is "weeded" before it's placed on the surface – meaning parts of the template are removed to expose areas of the concrete that will be acid-etched for color contrast, or etched and colored using products such as dyes, stains or acrylics for more dramatic coloring. Areas that remain covered by the template aren't etched and colored.
The acid etching opens up the concrete's pores, allowing the color to penetrate and permanently color the concrete. "It's very much like tattooing," Doolan says. Acetone dyes are typically applied without prior acid etching, as the acetone penetrates the concrete on its own.
Tim Cole, VBCPS sustainability officer, says LEED and sustainable design have been part of the district's mission for new facilities for some time. Old Donation is the ninth LEED design project for the district, and these facilities incorporate features that capture rainwater, emphasize daylighting, and use geothermal heating and cooling, among other sustainable-design functions.
"What we've gotten better at is designing the school to also serve as a teaching tool," Cole says. Old Donation's atrium floor — a terrazzo installation — is a scale replica of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, depicting the region's geography and ecology and serving to illustrate the challenges the low-lying region faces from pollution, surging storm water and rising sea levels.
The Geologic Time Walk also serves the school's teaching-tool aspirations in a big way — millions of years of planet Earth's history in a brief stroll from parking lot to school.

Any chance of something like this making it into the core of Chili or someone porting it to the current level of Chili? Unfortunately, I'm not a Rails developer, so I can't be of much use helping out.
So even if you aren't a Ruby/Rails dev, your opinion and tipps can help Felix & Co. to choose and start integrating the new localization solution.
Would be great if you just post your tipp/hint there, too - so Felix don't miss it.

Pregnancy after gastric bypass surgery and internal hernia formation
Nirupama Kakarla, Christine Dailey, Teresa Marino, Scott A. Shikora, David Chelmow
BACKGROUND: Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure that is increasingly performed in the United States to treat morbid obesity. Because of the changes associated with pregnancy, women with a history of gastric bypass surgery may be at an increased risk of gastrointestinal complications during the antepartum period, as demonstrated by these cases. CASES: The first patient presented at 12 weeks of gestation with abdominal pain. Computed tomography scan revealed rotation of the small bowel mesentery. In the operating room, a Petersen's internal hernia was observed. The second patient presented at 34 weeks of gestation with epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. An abdominal computed tomography scan suggested distention of the biliopancreatic limb, duodenum, and bypassed stomach. She underwent exploratory laparotomy with repair of an internal (mesenteric loop) hernia. CONCLUSION: As obstetricians, we should be aware of the potential for internal hernias in pregnant patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Is that an =][= symbol on the fist? If you wouldn't mind I would like to see a shot of the back of the model in a future update?
Hes looking great mate. The fist is a real stand out and the hand reaching for the pistol is fantastic - a real sense of motion to the posing - well done.

Today, is International Podcast Day *insert cheers here* I'm sure you've been waiting all year for this, right?
Anyway, I would describe most of the podcasts I listen to as intelllectually-ratchet or maybe bougetto. They are quite entertaining and include discussions on pop culture, politics, advice, and even rants. Having a hard day? Listen to a podcast. Traveling? Listen to a podcast. I've even added podcasts that help me with this awesome blog, entrepreneurship and productiveness.
Unlike last year, I've listed the podcasts. My list has grown tremendously and creating a summary for each would take forever and y'all don't pay me.
Originally on the list was The Brilliant Idiots but both hosts were getting on my nerves for being more idiot than brilliant. But, I kind of miss Charlamange so I may redownload it.
No wonder my phone keeps bitching about being out of storage, I have 5,222 podcasts on it!


I need to thank a lot of people who made yesterday such a great day.
This is a good way of making enemies as there always half a dozen that are forgotten, So apologies to these in advance.
Firstly, all the sailors, both 'mature' and young, particularly those who returned in the afternoon for another 3 races.
I will turn a blind ear to the comments I received when I asked finishers of Race 6 if they wanted a 7th race.
And well done to the Oppie sailors for turning up in force for racing.
Secondly, the caterers, who were amazing , as was the exquisite food they served all day.
The caterers were led, inevitably, by Vice Commodore Uta, who was there for hours the day before to receive the food consignment, cooked all Saturday night, arrived at 8 am on Sunday, worked til the first four minute signal when she jumped into her RS200, exhausted her first helm who ran away at lunchtime, won a trophy with her second helm, helped serve lunch, directed the fantastic barbecue, mothered the under eights in the Pirate Sea Battle, organised the best dessert course ever, danced (at last) for the first time ever (in the writer's experience), and then led, by example, the clearing up which finally got the clubhouse back together by 8 o'clock.
But this was not a one-person effort, by a long, long way.
Tessa Groves, left marooned on land by husband Andy (who was monitoring Roger Federer's every word at Wimbledon) was another key caterer who made dessert on Saturday, kept everything going all day Sunday and also stayed late.
Sasa Marinkov (Mrs Jones to me) was also there, with an engaging parrot on her shoulder, from 8 til 8, with no sailing to break up the non stop food preparation and clearing. Her filo dessert was amazingly good, I am told.
A new Lady in Blue, whose name I've forgotten, was also in the kitchen the whole Day, never stopping.
Kirsten Marley, whose chocolate brownies were quickly taken by the young pirates.
Emma Harris was elsewhere early on, but worked hard on arrival as the early starters needed help.
The barbecue team, led by Rob Pettit, needs a special mention.
Rob's co barbecuers were John Smith, Chris Smith, and Ian Peace (the latter, I think, succumbing to heat exhaustion early on). Manfully setting up their barbecue so they were downwind of the heat and smoke, their appeals for liquid sustenance could be heard the whole afternoon. Though parched and blackened by smoke, they provided the best barbecue in memory. Thank you.
And thank you to all others who helped the catering by providing food, clearing up and keeping things going.
The duty team on the water was small but did a great job. CJ and Micky assisted me on the Committee boat, Mike Wong and Martin Lown, adjusted all 5 marks, did rescue and coached the Toppers all day long.
Thank you Ray Lambe for organising the morning Oppie racing, helped by Dylan Emmett. I need the results of these.
Jim Champ, gets a very special mention. If ever the racing format needed a computer, it was today, as I had asked for the individual results to be in PY, and the Team Results to be in Personal Handicap.
The club computer was nowhere to be found in the morning, panic solved everything, a computer turned up at lunch time, and Jim with a little help from Gareth Griffiths, completed a full set of results by Prize giving.
My two co- Pirate Ship captains, Brendan O'Leary and Dylan Emmett should be congratulated for managing to avoid any collision while being drenched by reservoir water and experiencing the most piercing screams outside of Non Such Girls High School. Brendan managed the swamping of his Plastimo with calm typical Australo/Irish resolve.
Thank you to whoever rigged the pirate ships, and de-rigged them and put the the rigs away. I know Dylan was one.
And thank you to all others that dived in and helped. Rob Wall and Alexis Villiers were two and doubtless there were many more.
But what of the sailing?
-The overall Commodore's Day Winner, Gareth Griffiths, who wins the Rob Pettit Commodores Plate.
I will add the Oppie Results when I receive them.

I'M SHY, HONEST Quite a few people knew I was the girl who flashed her bottom in the Athena tennis girl poster. I don't regret doing it and I'm certainly not embarrassed by it. In fact I'm quite proud to have been asked to model for the image. Over the years I've been asked many times to be photographed alongside the poster, but until now I've always declined. Although I scratched my bare bottom for the camera I'm quite shy. But when the Barber Institute of Fine Arts asked me to help promote its exhibition of lawn tennis art — the first of its kind — I felt the time was right to reveal myself. I studied art illustration at university and I've always been passionate about art. Last Tuesday morning, before the press conference, I was feeling a bit anxious about it all but it was too late to back out. Seeing the picture again made me smile and I was happy to see it take its place in the history of tennis.
THE DOG HELPED TOO The picture was taken in 1976 by Martin Elliott, my boyfriend at the time. He was a photography graduate and having just started his own business he decided to shoot a girlie calendar with his colleague — they were all the rage back then. He got girls to adopt cheeky poses for some sporting images. I was helping him, sourcing props and standing in for test shots. We had been together six months when he asked me to pose for a picture in tennis gear. I didn't have any aspirations to be a model but I thought it would be fun and I trusted Martin. I was 18 at the time and confident about my body. I wasn't a keen tennis player so I had to borrow my father's plimsolls. The dress came from a friend of a friend and the tennis balls belonged to my dog.
LOOK — NO KNICKERS! The picture was taken at the tennis courts at Birmingham University. Luckily they were in a secluded spot so I didn't get caught jumping in the air with no knickers on. I don't remember much about the day but I do know the sun was shining and I was feeling carefree. Martin wasn't satisfied with the first shots, so I suggested I hitch up my tennis dress. I could never have imagined that my future father-in-law would put a copy of the poster on his wall, along with 2m other people. The poster went on to become one of the bestselling of all time. It's the light that makes the image so appealing and it's an innocent picture, the kind that a grandmother could give her grandson when he is off to college.
LADS' MAGS LOVE ME I've never had any negative comments about the picture but I remember being at a party a few years ago and overhearing a snooty old lady say "I don't think it's her" as she looked me up and down. My twin daughters and my son get a good laugh out of the fact that their mother is the girl in the photo. When my son was 16 he came home from school and told me that a lads' magazine had done a feature on the 100 sexiest images and I had been included. My friends don't make reference to it at all because I think they worry they'll embarrass me.
HOUSE OF MIRRORS Standing beside the image again made me feel reflective. Martin died last year after a long battle with cancer. We didn't keep in touch after we broke up but I know he would have been thrilled with the exhibition. His death brought home to me how much time has passed. I'm 52 now and my bottom is not as pert as it was. I don't have any mirrors in the house because my possessions are packed away until we move into the new home we're building. My body has changed but I'm still happy with the way I look. In the new house I shall have plenty of mirrors.
