I love reading about this event. The man cried out to Yeshua. When he was rebuked by others, he simply cried out louder. Determined. He wasn't going to let others deter him from reaching out to Yeshua. Yeshua ended up stopping just because He heard Bartimaeus. As a result, Bartimaeus gets healed and started following Yeshua.
What do you do in the face of opposition? Do you just give up or do you set your hope all the more harder and make yourself all the more determined? We're all faced with these kinds of moments in our lives with various circumstances. Don't give up. Cry out louder.

Planned GivingWNY Land2019-12-27T15:13:31-05:00
A planned gift is any gift that someone decides to give at a future date. Planned giving is an important and increasingly common way for people to support not-for-profit organizations like charities, universities, and land trusts.
There are many different forms of planned giving. Planned gifts come in all sizes and anyone can do it! Here are a few examples to help you find one that's right for you:
Bequests: Making a gift through your Will or Living Trust
Life Income Agreements: Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust, Charitable Gift Annuity, Deferred Payment Gift Annuity, Charitable Lead Trust, Charitable Remainder Unitrust, and Pooled Income Fund.
Life Insurance and Retirement Plans: Name us as a beneficiary on your beneficiary form
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust: receive a tax deduction and annual income; leave the remaining assets to us.
Did you know that Charitable IRA Rollovers allow donors age 70 ½ and older to transfer Individual Retirement Account (IRA) assets directly to public charities, count the transfer toward their required minimum distribution and exclude it from taxable income?
If you would like to support the Land Conservancy through planned giving, please contact us.
We are grateful to the following members of our Legacy Society, who have designated the Land Conservancy as recipients of their planned giving:
James Battaglia
Larry and Sheila Drake
Joan M. and Edward G. Eschner
Deborah H. Fenn
Douglas Germony
Amy Holt
Ed and Gayle Hutton
David Kimball
Art and Marilyn Klein
Paul and Jane Lehman
Barbara Mierzwa
Deborah Sabol
Judy Sabol
Nancy and Tom Smith

A story of planned giving to the Land Conservancy
Larry and Sheila Drake, both long-time supporters to the Land Conservancy, have included us in their planned giving. Larry, a former board member, and his wife Sheila discovered the Land Conservancy early in our organization's history.
For many years, even decades, they wanted to protect one of the few remaining and most important open spaces in Amherst. In the 1990's they and their daughter Robbyn began working with the Land Conservancy to try to find ways to make that happen. With them leading the way, that open space is now the 1,254-acre Nature View Park, with a Land Conservancy easement that protects it forever.
After this important success, the Drakes thought about how they could support the continuing work of the Land Conservancy. With the advice of their financial adviser they put the stocks from the sale of their business into a Charitable Remainder Trust with the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo.
When they pass away, the Land Conservancy and several other organizations will receive a portion of that Trust. Larry and Sheila benefit from being able to support the work of those organizations, but they benefit financially as well. This form of planned giving was good for their taxes and they receive a small annuity each year from their Trust.
"I encourage any business owner nearing retirement to consider planned giving to their favorite organizations," says Larry. "What we did was straightforward and accomplished both our own financial goals and will help support our community's most important work far into the future."
Their support of the Land Conservancy through planned giving ensures that we will have many important land conservation successes in the years to come.
Thank you, Larry and Sheila!

It's extraordinarily rare for a player to win MVP honors despite losing in the title round.
The Golden State Warriors are on the verge of defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. But who should win NBA Finals MVP?
Ahead of Game 6, Sports Illustrated's Ben Golliver argued that Cavaliers forward LeBron James deserves to be Finals MVP, even if the Warriors emerge victorious. Through five Finals games, James is averaging 36.6 points, 12.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game.
It's extraordinarily rare for a player from a losing team to earn title-round MVP honors. Golliver noted that only one NBA player has accomplished this feat: Lakers guard Jerry West, who was named MVP of the 1969 NBA Finals despite his team losing to the Celtics.
In other professional sports, it's also extremely uncommon: Only a handful of players in the NHL, NFL and MLB have achieved the honor, while the WNBA and MLS have never awarded a title-round MVP to a player from a losing team. Here's a look at the select group LeBron James can join if he wins NBA Finals MVP and the Cavaliers fall to the Warriors, broken down by sport.
West's performance in the 1969 NBA Finals was nothing short of remarkable. He averaged 37.9 points, 7.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game, but the Lakers blew 2-0 and 3-2 series leads. Boston's John Havlicek averaged 28.3 points per game, but no other player on either team even cracked an average of 20.0 points.
In Laker victories, West averaged 44.3 points per game, but he also shined in defeat: In the decisive Game 7, West dropped 42 points.
West, who now serves as an executive board member for the Warriors, is also the only other player besides LeBron James to score at least 40 points in an NBA Finals game while also recording a triple-double. West did it in 1969, while LeBron accomplished the feat this year.
West also was named NCAA College Basketball Final Four Most Outstanding Player in 1959 for West Virginia, even though the Mountaineers fell to California in the title game. Twelve players in Final Four history have failed to win the title but still won outstanding player honors, most recently Houston's Hakeem Olajuwon in 1983. But the NCAA tournament's MOP is awarded based on performance in the Final Four, not just the title game.
Only one player in Super Bowl history has lost the game but won MVP honors: Cowboys linebacker Chuck Howley in Super Bowl V (1976). The Baltimore Colts defeated the Cowboys 16-13 in a defensive struggle, with the teams combining for 11 turnovers. Dallas lost despite forcing seven turnovers, including two interceptions by Howley.
Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas was injured in the first half and exited the game, making way for Earl Morrall. Howley intercepted both Baltimore quarterbacks.
The 1960 World Series, a seven-game set between the Pirates and Yankees, is considered by many to be one of the greatest Fall Classics of all time. The Roberto Clemente-era Pirates defeated a Yankees team featuring Hall of Famers such as Yogi Berra, Elston Howard, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. But it was Yankees second baseman Bobby Richardson who took home MVP honors. Richardson, who hit .252 with 26 RBIs in 150 regular season games, batted .367 in 30 at bats in seven games against Pittsburgh, recording 12 RBIs and eight runs. He remains the only player from a losing side to be named World Series MVP.
The NHL's Conn Smythe Trophy is awarded based on the entire postseason, not just the title round. So it's no coincidence that the award has been given to players from losing teams more often than in other leagues.
Players from losing teams have won the Conn Smythe Trophy on five occasions. Roger Crozier earned the honor for the Red Wings in 1966 despite Detroit losing in six games to the Canadiens. The Blues were swept by the Habs in the 1968 Stanley Cup finals, but St. Louis goaltender Glenn Hall still won the Conn Smythe. The Canadiens also swept the Flyers in 1976, but Philadelphia right wing Reggie Leach won the award after scoring 19 goals during the postseason. Flyers goaltender Ron Hextall won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1987 even though the team fell to the Oilers in seven games.
Most recently, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere won the trophy in 2003 after his team lost to the Devils in seven games. Giguere finished the postseason 15-6, saving 94.5% of shots and allowing just 1.62 goals per game. He won all seven overtime games in which he played that postseason.


Esko Automation Engine for HP Indigo is a prepress automation software that drives more jobs faster to HP Indigo labels and packaging presses and incorporates features specifically designed for the digital printing environment.
The bespoke software, which is easy to implement and intuitive for users, is being showcased at the Dscoop Edge 2019 conference in Orlando, Florida, March 24-27.
HP Indigo has recognized the need for prepress automation to enable customers to take maximum advantage of their press capabilities, and this new collaboration is reflective of the evolution in the strategic relationship between the companies in color and workflow focused innovation.
At Dscoop Edge, delegates will discover how the new prepress software creates complete visibility of press resources and activities through its bi-directional connection capability. Additional unique benefits include automatic multi-SKU layouts and the ability to combine static and variable data jobs in one production run. Enabling superior prepress quality control, including version comparison, barcode and braille reading, the software accelerates operator efficiency and reduces waste with unique digital layout capabilities.

With this book, Sally Pipes gives us an invaluable tool for navigating the health-care debate.
Traipsing into Evolution critiques federal judge John E. Jones's decision in the Kitzmiller v. Dover case, the first trial to address the constitutionality of teaching intelligent design in public schools.
The writers in this volume seek ways in which to cooperate with a wider culture does not necessarily share the moral vision of the Catholic Church. How does one provide health care in cooperation with others who sometimes hold view diametrically opposed to those advanced by the Church and the Western tradition?

The Nonfiction Books That Won 2019 Pulitzer Prizes Delve Into Race, Economics, And American History
By Kerri Jarema
Pulitzer Administrator Dana Canedy announced the 2019 Pulitzer Prize winners at Columbia University's School of Journalism on Monday afternoon, and Bustle's got all the information you need to know about the 2019 nonfiction winners below.
The Pulitzer Prize is separated into two competitions: Journalism and Letters, Drama & Music. While both are equally prestigious, it is the the Letters, Drama & Music competition that book-lovers will find particularly interesting, because — in addition to a Music award — it contains five honors for Fiction, Drama, History, Biography or Autobiography, Poetry, and General Nonfiction. And if you're planning to keep up with the literary Joneses this year (or just step up your spring and summer reading lists) you're going to want to get your hands on all of the Pulitzer Prize-winning books as soon as possible.
The three nonfiction winners — Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America by Eliza Griswold, The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke by Jeffrey C. Stewart, and Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom by David W. Blight — delve into issues of race, economics, and American history. You will see the country in a brand new light after reading through these books, no doubt about it.
Check out the full list of winners here, and see below for more information on 2019's Pulitzer Prize-winning nonfiction books:
The Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction: 'Amity and Prosperity' by Eliza Griswold
Poet and journalist Eliza Griswold's Amity and Prosperity is an exposé on how fracking shattered a rural Pennsylvania town, and how lifelong resident Stacey Haney brought the story into the national spotlight.

Here is the first race in a proposed trilogy concerning a fictional off-road event I created called the 'Ignition Festival', where 8 classes of vehicle battle it out across the toughest terrains and most challenging courses! Of course this is a blatant MotorStorm homage and as such I have worked really hard on trying to make each of the 8 vehicles feel distinctive and offer their own advantages and disadvantages for use. If it were possible I'd let you choose your own vehicle at start-up, but unfortunately it's not, so it's purely random* which one you'll start in.
* not that random though. If you choose 'play on my own' then you'll ALWAYS be in the Buggy. In order to sample a random vehicle each race you'll need to choose 'Play Online' instead. Don't ask me why but LBPK doesn't utilize a randomize function when you choose the first option, which is a bugger, to say the least!
- Not all the vehicles drive best taking the drifters approach. Certainly for the larger vehicles you'll have much more success by easing off the throttle to take the turns, this also helps keep up the top speed, which is crucial as this is a strength of theirs, to the detriment of the acceleration.
- The smaller vehicles (bikes especially) are very light, so if they get hit then they're much more likely to spin out or veer off course. All offset by superior handling and acceleration characteristics mind you.
- The alternate routes are designed to even the score between classes and provide more direct or trickier paths which can shave precious seconds when in certain suitable vehicles.
- There are NO weapons or boost pads, this is a race of skill and the idea is that you use the strengths of your vehicle to your full advantage. So trucks are good for bashing and crashing into others and generally being a bully whereas bikes and rally cars are quick and nimble enough to get out of trouble easily. The race is winnable with ANY of the 8 vehicles, you just have to learn how best to use them.
- There are 7 prize bubbles to collect on the track itself, and a further 3 as rewards for podium finishes. 3rd place net's you the Monster Truck, 2nd a civilian version of the Peugeot 205 GTi that the Rally Car is based on, and the winner get's a shiny new Dirt Bike. Loot the level and you'll end up with all 8 of the vehicle models used in the race for your own personal usage!
Queued! Looks like amazing detail as usual!
Top notch detail on this one guys! Very well made track with highly detailed vehicles too.
Awesome track, the detail on the vehicles is astounding. Even the environment is top notch, I love the river and the mountain in the background. I thought the rumble on the grating part of the bridges was a nice touch.
I played it twice online and got the dune buggy both times. It seems that the track is intended to be played without drifting, is that right? It took a couple laps of drifting to realize it wasn't working, and regular turning worked perfectly around the corners. Also, I just now (while typing this) realized that I didn't see any weapons; I suppose that's supposed to go along with the strict race atmosphere. Wouldn't it be cool if different vehicles had an inherent "weapon," that could be used on cooldown? Eh, maybe that's not in the spirit of the series, I'm just day dreaming here.
As for the handling and weapons... yeah, weapons were never intended, Motorstorm didn't have weapons and I didn't want this to either, I wanted the vehicles to feel like weapons themselves (the bigger ones anyway) but despite adding physics tweakers onto each of the karts the effects are not as I had hoped, limitations of the game I suppose. :( As for the drifting... well, the buggy, rally car, bike and ATV should all drift fine, although due to the increased size of the karts again the physics are a little ropey (due to the origin point of the kart chassis game physics I suppose), but the other four vehicles not so much which is fine, as a large Peterbilt style truck or a Humvee H1 isn't really renowned for their power-sliding abilities!
Atheist, I have no idea how you made such intricate designs such as the motorbike's chain or even its front mudguard. Whenever I've tried making objects so small they've disappeared. I tried cropping them strands at a time, but there comes a point where they just vanish as if the game can't process something under a certain size. I guess you could make them larger, save the item, then reduce its size as a whole. Is that the way to do it?
The trick is just to make the whole vehicle large initially, then, once all the details are on, re-size it. Now, when you re-size a static object then you're usually limited how small you can make it, certainly not small enough to be an effective kart. But... they next trick is to simply capture the object, then go to your objects and place it again. You'll notice now that you can re-size it a lot smaller than before (to micro-machine size lol) so get it small enough that it can be a kart and place it down on your level.
Now, to avoid issues with hitboxes being larger than the actual model itself, make sure you only attach the rotate motors for your wheels (and any other pistons) once you've got it set to your wanted kart size and attach your kart chassis to a small piece of material (I use forcefield) and attach that to your kart model roughly in the centre of the model, then group it altogether.
You should now have a driveable custom kart with correct hitbox dimensions, but if you have an abnormally shaped kart (like my dirt bike or the Big Rig) then you may still get some odd collision issues. To fix this, simply add a 'kart size tweaker' gadget to the spawn point, and adjust it lower than 1.0. This will however mess up the default behind kart camera view, which can incidentally be changed within the global settings menu under 'Chase Cam Distance' (On this one it was set to 99%, the furthest back it can go). The bike and ATV had a kart size tweaker of 0.7, whereas the Big Rig was set to 0.5. I also had to create a custom game camera on the Big Rig spawnpoint as the default one was only letting the player see an extreme closeup of it's backside!
I finally played it....many times. With the monster truck, quad, buggy, rally car for the moment.
The feeling of the race is really good, some feeling of liberty in the nature like in the Motorstorm Serie. This point is very succesfull.
But finally i runed the track many different times and it's great.
Now, i 'm gonna run it with the other vehicule and i'm waiting for the next track of the serie.
Well I thoroughly enjoyed it ... Only just got LBPK via a new PS+ sub, no previous experience so I'm sure I don't fully appreciate all the technicalities but the kart designs in particular were amazing. Very generous of you to share them. Will keep an eye out for the next.

Semi Driver In Humboldt Broncos Crash Sentenced To 8 Years In Jail For the death of 14 Kids

Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the man who plead guilty for causing the Humboldt Broncos crash that took the lives of 16 people and injured 13, has been sentenced to eight years in prison. The judge at the Melfort court said she balanced his remorse and guilty plea against the missed stop signs and severe toll of the crash. The sentence comes close to what the Crown had been asking for, seeking 10 years. Since Sidhu is a permanent resident, it…

Flooding Less Devastating Than Thought with Damage at Just a Fraction of Early Estimates
Wed, 03 Apr 2019 12:10:23 CDT
Early report coming in from Nebraska have estimated that recent flooding has caused the loss of 700,000- maybe even a million head of cattle. Randy Blach, CEO of the market analysis arm of the beef industry CattleFax, says those numbers are probably a bit exaggerated and the Nebraska Department of Agriculture seems to concur. Overall, though, Blach says this situation will not have an impact on the market.
"It's been very, very difficult on our cow/calf producers, on our feedyards- infrastructure has been washed away in many cases. It's going to take months and months to get back to normal. So, it's a severe deal," he said. "I don't know really how many animals have been lost, but I can say the number of animals lost has been devastating to the individual producers. But, for the industry in total, it's not a significant number."
Again, Blach contends the market as a whole should not feel much if any impact from this situation. But in Nebraska, he says there are issues developing that are rapidly effecting the performance of the markets locally. According to him, weights have quickly fallen as much as 100 lbs. lighter than they were forecast to be.
While CattleFax has not yet released an official headcount of cattle lost, their best guess is that the actual number is most likely closer to 100,000 head and perhaps even less than that. However, the report published on the CattleFax website and authored by analyst Lance Zimmerman notes specifically - this is only an educated guess and subject to future revision.
Listen to Blach's full commentary on the situation in Nebraska with Radio Oklahoma Ag Network Farm Director Ron Hays, on today's Beef Buzz - brought to you by the American Angus Association. America's breed.

But really, why is there a portrait of George Washington on the Presidential Box?
The portrait sits on the balustrade just below Boxes 7 and 8 at Ford's Theatre. These are the separated seating areas immediately above the level of the stage on the right side of the theatre.
John T. Ford and the theatre's managers commonly joined the Boxes 7 and 8 together by removing a wall partition to accommodate larger parties. When Ford heard that President Lincoln would attend Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865, he decorated the President's typical box with flags and comfortable furniture to spruce it up for the occasion. In addition to adding a velvet-covered sofa, cane chairs and a walnut rocker (which came from the personal lodgings of his brother Harry Ford, who lived on the third floor of the Star Saloon—adjacent to the Theatre), Ford also decorated the outside of the box so the audience would know the president was in attendance. Ford borrowed from the Treasury department a bunting of flags to drape from the rail and, lastly, added a portrait of George Washington.
In 1865, no presidential seal or official symbol of the presidency existed, so we believe that Ford chose the George Washington portrait to make allusions to the presidency. At the time, it was not uncommon to see representations of George Washington as a symbol of national unity and patriotism, just as today we recognize images of the eagle or flag in the same way.
You can learn more about Lincoln and Washington's dominance in national iconography in historian Harold Holzer's essay, "Columbia's Noblest Sons": Washington and Lincoln in Popular Prints.
Is the portrait on display the original?
National Park Service curators removed the original in August 2015, and the portrait currently on view is an exact replica. Because of the close proximity to the stage, which entails bright stage lights in addition to dust, debris and other pollutants from set-building and regular visitation, the original artifacts from the Presidential Box are now in storage to better preserve them for future generations.
Is the frame for the original nicked?
Yes, the frame of the original George Washington portrait is nicked on its upper-left corner. You can see the nick closely by zooming into the corner of the frame on this Google Street view image, taken when the original portrait was still displayed.
John T. Ford's great grandson, Addison Reece, donated the original George Washington portrait and several other items from the night of the assassination to the National Park Service in 1959. National Park Service Photo.
The indentation was said to be made by assassin John Wilkes Booth's spur as he jumped from the Presidential Box after he shot the president and ran to his waiting horse in the theatre's back alley.

You're probably most familiar with testosterone as being the sex hormone responsible for defining "manhood." And, yes, it does. However, proper levels of this key hormone are also necessary to stimulate sexual desire, increase libido, heighten arousal and ensure sexual satisfaction for both men and women. It's also necessary to maintaining the following:
First, it's important to note that these tactics and practices to boost testosterone naturally probably won't work with men who have hypoandrogenism. If the glands and cells responsible for producing testosterone are damaged or defective, no amount of eggs or sleep will help you raise testosterone levels. You'll likely need to use testosterone replacement therapy to get your T levels to a healthy place.
The basis for my thinking that T levels could be boosted by cold baths came from a post I wrote a few years ago on the benefits of cold showers. One benefit I found in my research was that they could increase testosterone levels. I mentioned a 1993 study done by the Thrombosis Research Institute in England that found increased T levels after taking a cold shower. Here's the thing. I can't find a link to the original source and I can't find any other studies that support this claim! So without supporting research, I'm unsure of the effects of cold showers on testosterone.
Epidemiological studies suggest that many significant clinical findings and important disease states are linked to low testosterone levels. These include osteoporosis (Campion and Maricic 2003), Alzheimer's disease (Moffat et al 2004), frailty, obesity (Svartberg, von Muhlen, Sundsfjord et al 2004), diabetes (Barrett-Connor 1992), hypercholesterolemia (Haffner et al 1993; Van Pottelbergh et al 2003), hypertension (Phillips et al 1993), cardiac failure (Tappler and Katz 1979; Kontoleon et al 2003) and ischemic heart disease (Barrett-Connor and Khaw 1988). The extent to which testosterone deficiency is involved in the pathogenesis of these conditions, or to which testosterone supplementation could be useful in their treatment is an area of great interest with many unanswered questions.

Testosterone is only one of many factors that influence aggression and the effects of previous experience and environmental stimuli have been found to correlate more strongly. A few studies indicate that the testosterone derivative estradiol (one form of estrogen) might play an important role in male aggression.[66][67][68][69] Studies have also found that testosterone facilitates aggression by modulating vasopressin receptors in the hypothalamus.[70]
Boron, a mineral, keeps the cell walls of plants strong. Eating dried fruits and nuts gives you abundant amounts of boron. You can also take boron supplements. It's important to keep your daily boron intake at less than 20 mg, however, according to a current factsheet available from the U.S. National Library of Medicine. High doses of boron can cause serious side effects such as skin inflammation and peeling, irritability, tremors or depression.
"The Andro 400 has been a plus to my daily requirements of energy, stamina and weight loss. I have seen a noticeable reduction in my waistline from a 40" waist to a 37" waist. I am 6'6" and weighed 252, I now weigh 238 and feel much better. Without too much information, my sex drive and performance has been positively enhanced with greater sensitivity and stamina during those intimate times with my wife. Greater sensation, pleasure and results are evident."
Intracoronary artery infusion of testosterone causes significant coronary artery dilatation and not constriction as previously thought (Webb et al 1999). When degree of coronary obstruction is assessed by angiography, there is a direct relationship between degree of coronary artery narrowing and reduced testosterone levels (Phillips et al 1994). Men with low testosterone levels have been observed to have: premature atherosclerosis, increased visceral adipose tissue, hyperinsulinemia, and other risk factors for myocardial infarction (Phillips 2005). Insulin resistance has been shown to be associated with a decrease in Leydig cell secretion of testosterone (Pitteloud et al 2005). Muller and colleagues suggest that low endogenous total testosterone and SHBG levels increase the risk of metabolic syndrome in aging and aged men. They demonstrated that low levels of testosterone are related to lower insulin sensitivity and higher fasting insulin levels (Muller et al 2005). These authors speculate that testosterone might play a protective role in the development of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease in aging men.
The regular intake of testosterone boosters is known for the high level of safety comparing to the hormone injections and the use of illegal steroids. But still to protect yourself against any possible adverse reactions, you should remember that the supplementation can't be continuous. The breaks from time to time are required. Such an approach to the use of boosters is healthy and best-working if you aspire to enhance own hormone production without any harm.
A testicular action was linked to circulating blood fractions – now understood to be a family of androgenic hormones – in the early work on castration and testicular transplantation in fowl by Arnold Adolph Berthold (1803–1861).[177] Research on the action of testosterone received a brief boost in 1889, when the Harvard professor Charles-Édouard Brown-Séquard (1817–1894), then in Paris, self-injected subcutaneously a "rejuvenating elixir" consisting of an extract of dog and guinea pig testicle. He reported in The Lancet that his vigor and feeling of well-being were markedly restored but the effects were transient,[178] and Brown-Séquard's hopes for the compound were dashed. Suffering the ridicule of his colleagues, he abandoned his work on the mechanisms and effects of androgens in human beings.
"I'll be totally honest I tried a different product, and I wasn't happy with the different product and so I've been without any supplement for some time now, and I can really feel the difference. And I had fantastic results with the Andro400 Max. Probably lost 35 pounds. And more impressive than that was the inches I lost off of my belly and my waist. The increased energy is fantastic, and the mood enhancement is really good. I'm very impressed with it. You guys are considerably cheaper than the other brand. I get 2 bottles a month from you guys and that's even $15 less than the GNC product."
A number of research groups have tried to further define the relationship of testosterone and body composition by artificial alteration of testosterone levels in eugonadal populations. Induction of a hypogonadal state in healthy men (Mauras et al 1998) or men with prostate cancer (Smith et al 2001) using a gonadotrophin-releasing-hormone (GnRH) analogue was shown to produce increases in fat mass and decreased fat free mass. Another experimental approach in healthy men featured suppression of endogenous testosterone production with a GnRH analogue, followed by treatment with different doses of weekly intramuscular testosterone esters for 20 weeks. Initially the experiments involved men aged 18–35 years (Bhasin et al 2001) but subsequently the study was repeated with a similar protocol in men aged 60–75 years (Bhasin et al 2005). The different doses given were shown to produce a range of serum concentrations from subphysiological to supraphysiological (Bhasin et al 2001). A given testosterone dose produced higher serum concentrations of testosterone in the older age group (Bhasin et al 2005). Subphysiological dosing of testosterone produced a gain in fat mass and loss of fat free mass during the study. There were sequential decreases in fat mass and increases in fat free mass with each increase of testosterone dose. These changes in body composition were seen in physiological and supraphysiological treatment doses. The trend was similar in younger versus older men but the gain of fat mass at the lowest testosterone dose was less prominent in older patients (Bhasin et al 2001; Bhasin et al 2005). With regard to muscle function, the investigators showed dose dependent increases in leg strength and power with testosterone treatment in young and older men but there was no improvement in fatigability (Storer et al 2003; Bhasin et al 2005).
Bananas can be considered as energy-boosting snacks. You can eat it anytime of the day whenever you feel hungry or even while feeling bored. You would be unknowingly supplementing your body with some vitamins and minerals. A medium sized banana provides 32 milligrams of magnesium, along with potassium, vitamin C, fiber, and others. What more do you want from a light fruit!
"The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism" published that males who switched from a high-fat diet to a low-fat diet also saw a decrease in their testosterone levels. If you want to put some fat back into your diet without fearing cardiac implications, plant-based saturated fat like coconut is just the ticket. Meat-based fat is also acceptable if kept to less than 10% of your dietary fat intake.
Get good quality sleep on a regular basis. A chronic lack of quality sleep can significantly reduce the amount of testosterone a teenager or man produces, which then reduces muscle growth and promotes fat gain. Research has shown that quantity of sleep is associated with morning testosterone levels in males.[3] More specifically, male testosterone levels in the morning increase with a longer duration of sleep. At least seven hours of restful sleep is recommended, although for many teenagers, nine hours is ideal to feel refreshed.
If a young man's low testosterone is a problem for a couple trying to get pregnant, gonadotropin injections may be an option in some cases. These are hormones that signal the body to produce more testosterone. This may increase the sperm count. Hedges also describes implantable testosterone pellets, a relatively new form of treatment in which several pellets are placed under the skin of the buttocks, where they release testosterone over the course of about three to four months. Injections and nasal gels may be other options for some men.

Anxieties of Democracy: Tocquevillean Reflections on India and the United States
Partha Chatterjee (Editor)
This volume is a comparative study of democracy in India and the United States, using as its basis Alexis de Tocqueville's landmark study Democracy in America. It frames the comparison in terms of the distinct trajectories of the United States and India the former as moving 'from equality' at birth towards new forms of inequality over time, and the latter moving 'towards equality' from an inegalitarian social order at independence. Examining the experience of democracy in two of the world's oldest and largest democracies, the essays discuss the effect of democratization on key elements of public life such as citizenship, religion, capitalism, the struggle for equality, and the status of minorities in both the countries.
Partha Chatterjee, a founding member of 'Subaltern Studies', is a renowned political theorist. His books include A Princely Impostor? The Kumar of Bhawal and the Secret History of ndian Nationalism (Permanent Black and Princeton University Press, 2003). He is Direcetor of the Centre for Studies in Social sciences, Calcutta, and Visiting Profeesor of Anthropology, Columbia University.

Begin discussion about whether we can adapt this non SC advisory recommendations into Success Criteria format, or leave them as advisory (or best practices), or Sufficient Techniques for an existing Success Criteria. We understanding that almost no one follows advisory or best practice advice.
Recommend moving all prose that is not a Success Criteria, Guideline or Technique to the Understanding Doc for these new Success Criteria, Guidelines, etc.
The Success Criteria is testable. That means that it is objectively measurable either by automation or expert opinion where most knowledgeable people in the field could determine from the language of the SC whether a particular piece of content fails or passes the SC.
The Success Criteria is applicable in all circumstances. There are no mobile web sites or applications to which it could not apply.
The big take away is the introduction of a new Guideline 2.5 under which about 5 new Success Criterion where Touch advice would fall.
Some of the advice in the document is not testable, or does not apply in all circumstances, which turns them into best practices or advisory under current WCAG formulation.
While the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)'s W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) is primarily concerned with web technologies, it's guidance is also relevant to non-web technologies. The W3C-WAI has published the Note Guidance on Applying WCAG 2.0 to Non-Web Information and Communications Technologies (WCAG2ICT) to provide authoritative guidance on how to apply WCAG to non-web technologies such as mobile native applications. The current document is a mobile-specific extension of this effort.
magnification is used by people with low vision.
2.5.5 Pinch Zoom: Ensure that the browser pinch zoom is not blocked by the page's viewport meta element so that it can be used to zoom the page to 200%. Restrictive values for user-scalable and maximum-scale attributes of this meta element should be avoided.
Note: Relying on full viewport zooming (e.g. not blocking the browser's pinch zoom feature) requires the user to pan horizontally as well as vertically. While this technique meets the success criteria it is less usable than supporting text resizing features that reflow content to the user's chosen viewport size. It is best practice to use techniques that support text resizing without requiring horizontal panning.
The default text size for mobile platforms might be larger than the default text size used on non-mobile devices. When determining which contrast ratio to follow, developers should strive to make sure to apply the lessened contrast ratio only when text is roughly equivalent to 1.2 times bold or 1.5 times (120% bold or 150%) that of the default platform size.
Note: The use of text that is 1.5 times the default on mobile platforms does not imply that the text will be readable by a person with low vision. People with low vision will likely need and use additional platform level accessibility features and assistive technology such as increased text size and zoom features to access mobile content.
Guideline 2.5 Touch Accessible: Make all functionality available via touch.
Note: There has been much discussion about whether this can be required. We must address all objections if this is to proceed.
Also, if a screen reader user is unaware that the orientation has changed the user might perform incorrect navigation commands. Therefore, mobile application developers should try to support both orientations. If it is not possible to support both orientations, developers should ensure that it is easy for all users to change the orientation to return to a point at which their device orientation is supported.
Sufficient technique for 2.4.4 link destination. It could be included in H2.
Providing a clear indication that elements are actionable is relevant for web and native mobile applications that have actionable elements like buttons or links, especially in interaction modes where actionable elements are commonly detected visually (touch and mouse use). Interactive elements must also be detectable by users who rely on a programmatically determined accessible name (e.g. screen reader users).
To be effective, the instructions should, themselves, be easily discoverable and accessible. The instructions should also be available anytime the user needs them, not just on first use, though on first use they may be made more apparent through highlighting or some other mechanism.
Users can enter information on mobile devices in multiple ways such as on-screen keyboard, Bluetooth keyboard, touch, and speech. Text entry can be time-consuming and difficult in certain circumstances.

Since ageing is considered as an extremely fragile life period when the glorious days of successful work, great appearance and attractiveness are left behind, having at least a little social life is of vital importance. These people don't ask for too much, just a reassuring handshake, a caring word or two and someone to talk to.

Whichever the reason for their immobility or illness, one thing is certain, this is one of the most rewarding profession and one of the fastest growing industry branch. What's more, in Australia this industry can offer a secure employment which is strongly supported by both sides politics wise.
Certificate IV in aged care is the ideal way to upgrade those skills of yours in helping elderly people. Since there are many options available on the market, all you need to do is go online and find the one that will meet your needs and daily schedule. If you look into this matter thoroughly, you may get lucky and find a course that offers full or partial subsidies VTG – Victorian Training Guarantee on course fees.
As a largely demanding job, you will be able to find a job right after you have finished the course, and you will have the opportunity to choose between plenty of job options like community support worker, aged care professional, day activity worker, in-home respite care worker, community house worker, etc.
This job can give you the opportunity to help the most vulnerable group within your community and reveal fully your compassionate nature by turning it into a profession. If this hits home, do not hesitate to enrol and get the certificate IV in aged care.


With a heat index that exceeded 100 degrees, people in Aberdeen dealt with the scorching temperatures in different ways.
Once the temperature rises above 90 degrees, many people like to take a dip in a pool, grab some ice cream or stay inside an air-conditioned room - but not everyone has those options.
Desi Campbell is one of several people doing work on U.S. Highway 12 near Aberdeen Regional Airport on Thursday afternoon.
Clad in long pants, short shirt and a yellow safety vest, Campbell was sweating as he worked to tighten the bolts on a drainage pipe in a roadside trench.
To keep cool, he tried to drink plenty of fluids and take breaks whenever possible, he said.
"I drink lots of water and Gatorade," Campbell said, motioning to a nearby cooler. "That's about all you can control."
The weather was extremely hot Thursday afternoon. The temperature peaked at 94 degrees, with a heat index of 102 degrees on Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service website.
A heat advisory was in effect from 1 to 7 p.m. Thursday because of the risk of heat-related illnesses.
Although it's pretty miserable to work in such hot weather, precautions are taken to make sure no one suffers health problems, said Sam Sarac, a contractor for the South Dakota Department of Transportation who was working on U.S. Highway 12 Thursday afternoon.
"We make sure anyone who looks like they need it can take a break," Sarac said.
There was also an air-conditioned pickup truck stationed near the construction site. Sarac said it was there so people could take a breather and escape the sun for a little while.
Many people, who were lucky enough to not have work Thursday afternoon, such as Derek Birdsall and and his 6-year-old son, Truit, decided to take full advantage of the Aberdeen Aquatic Center.
The Birdsalls of Montevideo, Minn., were two of more than 750 people who had ventured inside the water park by 2:45 p.m. Thursday, said Bailey Bade, cashier at the aquatic center.
Birdsall, who is in Aberdeen camping at Wylie Park with his family, said the decision was made to go to the water park once it became really hot outside.
"We figured this was the best way to beat the heat," Birdsall said as he pushed his son down the Lazy River on an inner tube.
Eating ice cream was also a popular way to beat the heat as about 200 people went to Twist Cone by 5 p.m. Thursday, said Jenni Hogg, Twist Cone manager.
The only issue with ice cream was how quickly it melted in the heat, she said.
"It's sad that's it's almost too hot for ice cream," Hogg said with a laugh. "You just gotta eat it really fast."
The good news for people who can't stand such hot weather is that the temperature should be much cooler today.
A high of 85 degrees with a significant drop in humidity is projected today, said Dan Mohr, a meteorologist with the weather service office in Aberdeen.
The temperature drop is the result of a cold front from the north that came in Thursday evening, he said.

Q: spring-cloud how to use Endpoints management endpoints:
For a Spring Boot Actuator application there are some additional management endpoints:
    POST to /env to update the Environment and rebind @ConfigurationProperties and log levels

http://localhost:8080/env/testprop it works and returns:
{
"testprop": "test value"
}

but when I do POST: http://localhost:8080/env/testprop
Request method 'POST' not supported
I want to update testprop, how to do it with API?

A: I found the following in the docs

For a Spring Boot Actuator application there are some additional management endpoints:

*

*POST to /env to update the Environment and rebind @ConfigurationProperties and log levels

*/refresh for re-loading the boot strap context and refreshing the @RefreshScope beans

*/restart for closing the ApplicationContext and restarting it (disabled by default)

*/pause and /resume for calling the Lifecycle methods (stop() and start() on the ApplicationContext)

Looks like you have to post agains /env instead of /end/$yourProperty

A: Ok, it works:
 must POST with empty body
http://localhost:8080/env/?test=dasda
and response is:
{
    "test": "dasda"

Now, less than three months later, another Illinois federal jury has imposed $140 million in punitive damages against AbbVie for the same alleged conduct—namely, failure to disclose that its low-T medication AdroGel can cause heart attacks. Even putting aside AbbVie's other challenges to the verdict—which include attacks on the admission of expert testimony and the sufficiency of the evidence that the plaintiff's heart attack was caused by his two months of AndroGel use—the punitive award is unlikely to stand because it is 1000 times the jury's $140,000 compensatory award.
Needless to say, a punitive/compensatory ratio of 1000:1 is grossly excessive under the Supreme Court's decisions in BMW and State Farm when, as here, the compensatory damages are far from "small." Indeed, the ratio is so high as to suggest either that the jury was animated by passion and prejudice or that it was impermissibly seeking to punish AbbVie for the effect of its alleged non-disclosure on other AndroGel users in violation of the Due Process Clause's prohibition of punishment for harm to non-parties—or both.
If the district court concludes that the jury was animated by passion and prejudice, the proper remedy would be a new trial on all issues. If the court instead concludes that the jury impermissibly punished AbbVie for the effect of its alleged non-disclosure on non-parties, it could either award a new trial on the amount of punitive damages or order a remittitur to an amount of punitive damages that, if replicated in the cases of all other similarly situated plaintiffs, would not yield an excessive aggregate punishment. Allowing this plaintiff any more than his apportioned share of the maximum permissible aggregate punishment would be an insufficient remedy for the Due Process violation.
Both cases are likely to yield some interesting rulings. We will keep an eye out for them and analyze them for our readers in future posts.

Volleyball news
Volleyball Rules
An efficient way to learn and understand Volleyball is starting from rules. An in-depth overview of the volleyball rules is as follows:
Indoor 4's:
In the volleyball game, 2 women and 2 men are present on the court all the time. However, 1 female and 3 males are also allowed.
In Indoor 6's 3 men and women each are allowed on the court. While in other cases, 4 males and 2 females are allowed.
A game will be considered legal if only 1 woman and 4 males are present in a match. 4 males are the maximum limit of the team. If the opponent team allows, only, in that case, 1female is allowed in the above-mentioned scenarios.
Basics of Indoor Volleyball
A set of 3 games is present in each match. For regular-season standings, each of these games will be considered as a part of overall standings. The game is divided into two parts where one-tome out for each game is allowed. The first 2 games are played to 21(cap 25). The 3rd game is to 15(cap) 18.
No male or female hitting rules are present.
According to the Volleyball rules, a defensive block cannot be counted as allowable contacts. For blocking a ball, a player has to reach over the net:
If in the 3rd attempt, the offense has come in contact with the ball.
If the plane of the net breaks by any part of the ball.
The service can be returned by the players in case of:
A closed fist
Bump pass
A set
Clasping their hands together.
A player is allowed to serve with a two-handed set. However, a set in this way is not recommended as it can be extremely difficult.
Unless a ball or a person drives into the net, no part of the body is allowed to be in contact with the net. In case, the player contact has indirectly affected the course of the play it would not be considered as the violation of rules.
The spiker should cleanly hit the ball with an open hand. Carrying or guiding is considered illegal.
Ball contact is considered legal in spiking only when a portion of the ball is in contact with the plane of the net on the hitter's side.
A player can touch but not cross the center line with his foot.
Oversets are considered illegal.
The ball contact is allowed if the ball rebounds immediately after coming in contact with any body part.
Changes in Volleyball Rules (2020-2021)
According to NFHS, the volleyball rules change are mainly made in the area of uniform bottom compliance, bench behavior sportsmanship, official communication, and management of non-team personal.
The new rules of volleyball are as follows:
A molded protective face mask made of hard material is allowed during the play. This rule is changed to create consistency with the rest of the NFHS codes.
For allowing correction in case of a clerical error, a team is allowed to correct a submitted line up if the libero number does not match with what other teams are wearing.
A clear contrast should be present between libero and the rest of the teammates and conform to the uniform rules.
One predominant color can be used for the libero uniform top if contrasting.
The double zero (00) uniform option is eliminated and the number should not be more than 2 digits according to the new rules.
At the pre-match, it is the responsibility of the second referee to collect team roasters.
Changes can be made by the coaches to the roster until 10 minutes are left on the pregame block.
Rosters and liners are submitted to the second referee, not a scorer.
It eliminates the loss of point penalty in case of failure in submission to the team roaster in the prematch conference. However, the penalty is replaced with a delay.
Another rule establishes the fact that an official closes hands along with a rotation of forearms in regards to single substitution.
Creates an official warning to the head coach in the case of unsporting conduct by issuing a yellow card. A read unsporting conduct card is required in the case when the head coach has to remain seated for the remaining match.
In case, the volleyball strikes the diagonal poles or cables are used to retract the ceiling at suspended net systems. The referee has to halt the game in that scenario and assess whether the ball was playable.
The referee will signal replay or signal out-of-bounds.
The responsibilities of the line judge include moving in line with the extension of the end ball when the ball is served near the line judge's base position.
The line judge analyzes foot fault on the end line and moves back to base position for sideline view.
According to the illegal serve rule, when a ball tossed for serve contacts any part of a backboard it is considered as an illegal serve. If the ball is hanging on the serving area in a vertical position it is still considered as an illegal serve.
2020 – 21 Volleyball Major Editorial Changes
Language references are removed about size restrictions of mascots or school names place on uniform sleeves.
An exceptional substitution can be made in case of an injured or unfit player.
NFHS Officials Signals Chart
According to the new rules, the signal 7 "Legal-Back-Row attack" is removed from the chart. In the NFHS Official Manual renumbering, the signal as an informal official's signal is established.
Volleyball is an exceptional sport requiring tons of energy and enthusiasm. But like any other game, it requires rules and regulations. After understanding these rules, you are ready to play the volleyball game efficiently.

The Cistern of Philoxenos (), or Binbirdirek Cistern, is a man-made subterranean reservoir in Istanbul, situated between the Forum of Constantine and the Hippodrome of Constantinople in the Sultanahmet district. It has been restored and is now visited as a tourist attraction. The entrance is located at İmran Öktem Sokak 4.
Binbirdirek Cistern is the second largest cistern in Istanbul after the Basilica Cistern.

Construction

The reservoir has a surface area of 3640 m2, storing 40,000 m3 of water. The cistern is composed of a large hypostyle chamber supported by vaults.  The 224 columns, each 14 to 15 meters tall, are made of marble from nearby Marmara Island.  Each column is a superposition of two columns, joined by a marble ring.  The floor of the cistern was later reinforced, so that only the upper column and a short sleeve of the lower column are thus visible.  The original height can be seen in an excavated pond with four columns in the middle of the cistern. Most of the columns, and also the caps, are engraved with a Greek mason's mark.

Restoration
The cistern was restored by Justinian I in the 6th century, after the palace was completely destroyed in a fire in 475. After the conquest of the city by the Ottomans in 1453, the cistern fell into disuse, and was forgotten until rediscovered during the construction of Fazli Pasha's palace on the same site in the 17th century.

1001 columns
The name "Binbirdirek" means "1001 Columns" in Turkish, although the true number of the columns is only 224. The difference is due to the Turkish expression, "binbir" (i.e. 1001), being a turn of phrase that is often used to express a large sum or array of something.

Q: Change between open and close buttons in vue I am new to Vue and trying to do the following functionality.
I have an open button(icon) in the navigation bar of the page. When it is clicked, it should be changed to a close icon and load a new template (within the same page). When we click on the close icon, it should again change to open icon and go back to the previous template.
Can someone help me!

A: You may have to adapt it but here's the idea

  <v-app id="inspire">

        <v-btn outline @click="changeIcon" color="primary" dark>Accept

        </v-btn>

  </v-app>

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {
      icon: "check_circle"
  },
    methods: {
        changeIcon() {
            this.icon = (this.icon === "check_circle" ? "block" : "check_circle")

Preserving the age-old image of mangoes
Shihab Sarkar | Published: April 13, 2019 22:12:26 | Updated: April 15, 2019 22:16:46
Pahela Baishakh, the Bangla New Year, is being celebrated today amid traditional festivity. A nationwide festival, it is the greatest one centring on the Bangla heritage and culture. The opening month of Baishakh has for ages been associated with many other aspects of Bangla culture. One of them is its gift of delicious summer fruits. They range from mangoes, considered the king of Bangladesh fruits, to litchis, watermelons, jackfruits and blue berries and lots of other summer fruits.
To the delight of people across the country, especially in the cities, mangoes have been witnessing abundant yields in the recent years. Coming mainly from the south-western and northern regions of the country, this special type of mangoes was once beyond the reach of the average consumers. Thanks to the good harvests and their overrunning of the marketing racketeers, the fruit has lately occupied a dominant place in the country's fruit world. Mangoes of different varieties are now accessible to even the down-and-out consumers. The scenario is, however, not completely free from a few ills. The dominant among them is the menace of artificial ripening of mangoes. In the recent years, it has posed a great challenge to safe consumption of the fruit. A syndicate in the fruit marketing chain eventually crept into the mango business. Thanks to the timely intervention of the law enforcing authorities, the scourge has considerably subsided in the capital. But the smaller cities and towns remain vulnerable to the mischievous activities of the adulteration network. Moreover, due to some loopholes, the dread of the return of the menace in a new form looms.
In reality, the whole sector of summer fruits in the country is beset with one or another disincentive for the growers. In the recent years, litchis have also been found being tainted with the ripening chemicals. Lately, a new evil practice has emerged. A section of farmers have been found spraying toxic pesticides on the fruit. Viewing it to be harmful to human health, the High Court on April 9 came up with a directive. It has asked the government to deploy police at the mango orchards in the south-western Rajshahi region to prevent spraying of toxic chemicals on tree-borne mangoes. Jackfruit, the national fruit, still remains safe. So are some other fruits, especially watermelons. But like in many other areas, they may not be finally able to keep themselves free from the clutches of the fruit-tainting syndicates. According to people close to mango orchards, it is a section of growers who began the vile process of tainting the fruit with chemical substances. In order to have windfall profits, these farmers engage in a competition to bring the artificially ripened mangoes to both the wholesale and retail markets. Despite the government's recent slapping of a ban on harvesting the fruit before a deadline, flouting of rules also goes on concomitantly. It's only a strict surveillance enforced by the authorities concerned which can stop this menace. The Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) has shown their capabilities to stem many irregularities related to agriculture. It is credited with encouraging growers to use the 'mango bagging' method. That people will look forward to them for keeping the mango sector safe and hazard-free is implied.
Bangladesh's south-western and northern parts have for ages been famous for quality mangoes. They belong to the breeds completely different from the indigenous varieties in terms of look, taste and aroma. The indigenous fruit are fibrous and sour-sweet in taste. With the Khirshapat variety winning the GI tag, the Bangladeshi mangoes have been given an international recognition. Apart from ensuring its export potential, the coveted tag has also elevated the place of the country's mangoes among their local lovers.

Sir Edward William Elgar, 1. Baronet (født 2. juni 1857, død 23. februar 1934) var en britisk komponist. Han skrev en del orkestermusik, hvoraf de to symfonier, cellokoncerten og Enigma Variations (Enigma-variationer) er hovedværkerne, og oratoriet The Dream of Gerontius (tekst af John Henry Newman).

Elgars mest kendte værk er den noget pompøst klingende Pomp and Circumstance nr. 1 med Land of Hope and Glory.

Hans Salut d'amour fra 1888 var en forlovelsesgave til hans senere hustru Caroline Alice Roberts. De første udgaver var for violin og klaver, klaversolo, cello og klaver og lille orkester. Det meget populære salonstykke findes i dag i utallige arrangementer, herunder også med en sangtekst af A. C. Bunten Woo thou, Sweet Music. I 1912 skrev han musikken til maskespillet The Crown of India i anledning af det britiske regentpar kong Georg 5. og dronning Marys kroning i Delhi til kejser og kejserinde af Indien.

Elgar efterlod sig en 3. ufuldendt Symfoni, som nu er færdigskrevet og indspillet.
