KNOXVILLE, TN (November 10, 2016) – The pain in your leg you experience while walking may be the result of sore or tired muscles, but it could also be a symptom of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a narrowing of one or more arteries that supply blood to the legs. Tennova Healthcare warns that PAD often goes undiagnosed since leg pain has many possible causes.
For many people, PAD goes undiagnosed because they either have no symptoms or they mistake leg pain for something else, such as arthritis. Individuals with diabetes sometimes confuse PAD pain with neuropathy, a common diabetic symptom that causes a burning discomfort in the feet or thighs. As a result, people may fail to seek treatment for a long period of time—and that can be dangerous.
Activity-driven pain: painful muscle cramping in the hips, thighs or calves that diminishes or stops a few minutes after walking, exercising or climbing stairs.
Chronic leg pain: may present as leg pain that does not go away once you stop exercising.
Non-healing wounds: foot or toe wounds that heal slowly, or not at all.
Cold feet: noticeably lower temperature of the foot or lower leg, especially when compared to the other leg or the rest of the body.
Nail and hair growth: poor or decreased hair growth or toenail development, on one or both legs.
Erectile dysfunction: especially prominent in men with diabetes.
If you suspect leg pain might indicate PAD, make an appointment with your primary care physician or a vascular specialist. The physical examination will likely start with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) test, which compares the blood pressure in your feet to the blood pressure in your arms to establish how well blood is flowing to the lower body. The test only takes a couple minutes. If ABI results are abnormal, additional tests may be ordered.

Tennova Healthcare offers surgical services at Physicians Regional Medical Center, Turkey Creek Medical Center, North Knoxville Medical Center, Jefferson Memorial Hospital, Lakeway Regional Hospital, LaFollette Medical Center, Newport Medical Center, St. Mary's Surgery Center and Tennova Surgery West. With approximately 200 surgical specialists at multiple locations across the region, the health system is dedicated to offering quality inpatient and outpatient surgical care—close to home.


I just wanted to advise the members that the Fed K-13 will be complete in two days and change and the 7th I.T.S. K-13 will complete in four days and change. There are also new special projects now available at each holding for patrol ships for the space surrounding the holding.
I believe that this will complete the project for both sides of the fleet, barring any surprises, and I want to congratulate the members of the 7th Fleet for a job well done!
sweet-i should be lvl 15 in kits r&d then, just in time to get my very rare r&d kits doff!
time to try out some passive kit modules!
Hmmmm...looks like there is one last upgrade to do for K-13. We have to do the final tier III upgrade project and then we are finished. To whoever slotted that project, thank you.
Time to double down and get this knocked out!

Submission: Moreland Nature Plan needs to recognise existential threat to biodiversity
June 26, 2020 at 12:46 pm John Englart	2 comments
Kangaroos in Northern Memorial Park
Moreland Council has had a commitment to developing a biodiversity Strategy since at least 2004, but this strategy has been consistently overlooked. We have a Climate Emergency. But we also have an ecological and biodiversity emergency. Both crises are related and need to be addressed together.
Moreland acknowledged we have a climate emergency. Now we need the proposed Nature Plan, which we have waited 16 years for, to reflect the global science on the existential threats to ecosystems and biodiversity. This is important even in highly built up areas such as Moreland, which still harbours over 900 sepecies, at least 36 of them being threatened species.
Download the PDF version of the submission
Draft Moreland Nature Plan submission
We appreciate the effort that has gone into developing the Moreland Council Draft Nature Plan vision on biodiversity. It is an excellent start building upon action point 10.13 in Moreland Council's Open Space Strategy 2004 (originally scheduled to be developed in first three years) and subsequently included as an action point in Council's Open Space Strategy 2012-22. It has been a long time coming.
The Nature Plan should provide an avenue for ecosystem restoration and resilience, and maintain species biodiversity even within our heavily built up and growing population of Moreland. The pandemic has provided an opportunity for many Moreland residents to explore and appreciate local parklands, and reconnect with nature. This submission covers:
Nature Plan needs to be considered in a strategic context with the Convention on Biological Diversity and other international commitments, as well as the National Biodiversity Strategy, Federal and State legislation. It also needs to highlight that Melbourne (including Moreland) is a biodiversity hotspot.
Expert baseline assessment of biodiversity and ecosystems should be a high priority. We can't properly manage or improve, nor measure success, what we don't have accurate baseline data for.
Traditional Land Management and cultural heritage an important priority
Refugia sites need identification and prioritisation.
Citizen engagement and citizen science is important
Control of pests and weeds need to be in line with National strategies
Promote success stories
Wildlife Corridors and Connectivity important.
John Englart
Convenor, Climate Action Moreland
Strategic Context
It is well recognised by the scientific community that loss of biodiversity and species extinctions is a major crisis that is occurring in conjunction with climate change. Yet there is no mention of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity in the Strategic context of the Moreland Nature Plan.
During the bushfire crisis over the summer of 2019/2020 we have witnessed an estimated 1 billion native animals destroyed. These are just the obvious species deaths from one extreme climate event. See: (https://fawkner.org/2020/01/07/bushfires-devastating-australian-biodiversity-species-extinction-likely/ )
I recommend adding reference to the international treaty, the Convention on Biological Diversity, that Australia signed on the 5 June 1992, ratified on 18 June 1993 and became a party to on 29 December 1993 (https://www.cbd.int/convention/ )
We have an ecological and biodiversity emergency
In terms of global science on species biodiversity, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) should also be referred to in the strategic context. In 2019 IPBES published a major assessment report: The global assessment report on BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES. The Assessment outlines the crisis we face in biodiversity at the global level, similar to and related to the climate emergency.(https://ipbes.net/global-assessment )
The Summary for PolicyMakers Section A5 highlights the extent of species extinction:
"Human actions threaten more species with global extinction now than ever before. An average of around 25 per cent of species in assessed animal and plant groups are threatened (Figure SPM.3), suggesting that around 1 million species already face extinction, many within decades, unless action is taken to reduce the intensity of drivers of biodiversity loss. Without such action, there will be a further acceleration in the global rate of species extinction, which is already at least tens to hundreds of times higher than it has averaged over the past 10 million years."
The report makes clear that we have both an ecological and climate emergency. This should be reflected in the Moreland Nature Plan.
We need to see what we do in Morelandas part of an Australia wide and global context. You have heard this before, but it is necessary to say it again: "Think Global, Act local". Without the global context the messaging fails to connect and warn people we need to change business and social behaviours.

(https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/ )
How does the Nature Plan meet the Aichi biodiversity targets under the Biodiversity Convention?
(https://www.cbd.int/sp/targets/ )
The Convention on Biological Diversity has also driven the Australian Government to legislate on Biodiversity: the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
Even before this legislation, The Australian Local Government Association adopted a National Local Government Biodiversity Strategy (November 1998) (https://www.cbd.int/doc/nbsap/sbsap/au-sbsap-strategy-en.pdf )
Matted Flax Lily (Threatened species)
National Biodiversity Strategy
Australia recently updated it's national biodiversity strategy: Australia's Strategy for Nature 2019-2030, Australia's national biodiversity strategy and action plan. There is no mention of this document in the Moreland Draft Nature Plan, which seems incongruous.

Melbourne is a biodiversity Hotspot
I was also surprised to find a lack of awareness that Melbourne (and in fact most Australian capital cities) are biodiversity hotspots. Numerous species have survived despite the massive land use change with enormous growth in the human population.
See the 2016 article at Sustainable Fawkner which drew upon peer reviewed research
(https://fawkner.org/2016/02/24/urban-areas-like-fawkner-support-endangered-species/ )
by Ives, Lentini et al, Cities are Hotspots for threatened Species (2016).
(https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/geb.12404 )
At least one of the researchers, Pia Lentini, is a Moreland resident. The research paper has also been adapted for children, including a worksheet which may be useful for science education on conservation in Moreland.
(https://pelentiniresearch.wordpress.com/2016/02/11/kids-adaptation-of-our-threatened-species-in-cities-research-now-online/ )
Moreland is home to, or visited by, at least 36 threatened species according to an article written by several scientists at the Conversation in 2017.
(https://theconversation.com/just-ten-mps-represent-more-than-600-threatened-species-in-their-electorates-83500 )
The number of threatened species that live or visit Moreland was also written about and highlighted at Sustainable Fawkner: (https://fawkner.org/2017/09/07/there-are-36-threatened-species-in-moreland/ )
Baseline Species data and assessment
One of the most urgent actions should be to establish baseline data for biodiversity in Moreland (Action #4.4), which can then feed into ongoing formal monitoring and citizen science to monitor the effectiveness of this plan.
If you don't know what species we have presently got, and their ecosystem dependencies, the action plan is like blundering along Merri Creek Path in the middle of a moonless night.
Establishing a baseline should involve an expert assessment and be done as a priority, with details on estimated species population, ranges, frequency and number of visits if migratory, location, ecosystem dependencies, fragmentation of populations, and any trends in recent population changes.
In an interrogation of the Victorian Biodiversity Atlas (24 June 2020) I found 900 species that have been reported within the bounds of Moreland.
(https://www.environment.vic.gov.au/biodiversity/victorian-biodiversity-atlas )
I would expect an expert assessment to go much further into detail, which would then inform conservation action and action priorities in the Nature Plan. Hence the need for establishing baseline biodiversity data to be treated as a high priority.
Reading the Draft Nature Plan it is clear that dependencies are important as highlighted by the importance of the blue banded bee to the pollination of populations of the matted flax lilly, which have helped with conservation action.
Once baseline data and dependencies have been collected, it allows for a more informed process in Action 3.6 scheduled in Year 2
Compile a list of fauna to be encountered in Moreland and develop interpretive and educational material for residents, schools and community groups. (Action #3.6, Year 2 )
Traditional Land Management
In addition to the existing material Under 1.2 Traditional Land Management, it would be worthwhile including detail on how seasons were experienced on Wurundjeri Country, which is related to seasonal weather and plant and animal cycles.
See for example Yarra Council Nature strategy outlining how the Wurundjeri identified seven specific seasons.
(https://www.yarracity.vic.gov.au/-/media/council-meetings-documents/2019-council-meetings/council-meeting-12-november-2019/114-attachment-1-final-draft-nature-strategy–2020-2024.pdf )
Sofia Sabbagh did a Wurundjeri seasons calendar, although probably too detailed to reproduce in the Nature Plan. It may be worth commissioning a simpler Wurundjeri seasonal calender for inclusion in the Nature Plan. Please note, use of the Moreland Nature Map by Sofia Sabbagh, needs to be properly credited.
We recommend that Action Points 4.5 and 4.6 be given a High Priority:
Finalise the Statement of Commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities outlining a partnership approach. (Action #4.5 year 1)
Partner with Traditional owners (eg Narrap team) in Caring for Country in Moreland. (Action #4.6, Year 1 ongoing)
Importance of Refugia in conserving biodiversity
Refugia is another area that seems to have been overlooked in the Nature Plan.
There is a need to research, manage and protect important refugia sites for biodiversity- sites that offer greater protection for biodiversity through extreme events such as floods, drought, extreme heat, and the increasing temperature trends associated with climate change.
See Reside, Welbergen et al, Characteristics of climate change refugia for Australian biodiversity (2014) (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/aec.12146 )
We must also be aware as the climate changes, and with widespread land use change, our cities (including Melbourne) are likely to become refugia for non-endemic native species, including threatened species. eg Grey Headed Flying Fox.
See Cities as Refugia for Threatened Species, Mark McDonnell, Melbourne. 2 October 2013
(https://www.thenatureofcities.com/2013/10/02/cities-as-refugia-for-threatened-species/ )
Citizen science and citizen engagement
Engaged Citizens, as part of citizen science contribution, should also be encouraged to use the VBA Go app to report species sightings, which contributes valuable information to species population and range.
(https://www.environment.vic.gov.au/biodiversity/victorian-biodiversity-atlas/vba-go )
We agree on the importance of establishing a 'Gardens for Wildlife' program in Moreland. (Action #2.1, Year 1) Indeed, there is already a public Facebook Group with over 500 people titled Creating Gardens for Wildlife in Moreland (https://www.facebook.com/groups/519953362127357/ )
Merri Creek, Fawkner
We are well aware of the competing interests for Council budget funding. We appreciate action 3.1 which would fund the resourcing of a Conservation programs Officer in Moreland.
Engage a Conservation Programs Officer to undertake strategic projects, support community conservation activities and implement nature engagement programs (Action #3.1, Year 1)
Control of Pests, Weeds
The Draft Nature Plan makes no mention of control of pest fauna such as rabbits, foxes, Indian myna birds.
How does the plan interact with other national strategies on Pest Animals, or weeds? (http://nrmonline.nrm.gov.au/catalog/mql:2308 ) (https://www.agriculture.gov.au/pests-diseases-weeds/pest-animals-and-weeds/review-aus-pest-animal-weed-strategy/aus-weeds-strategy )
The Environmental Sustainability award encompasses such a broad range of activities, from urban forestry to plastics and recycling to climate policy. Perhaps we need a separate award promoting conservation and biodiversity in the municipality as part of the Moreland Awards System?
This would help Promote success stories and those individuals who have stepped up in speaking for the native creatures, and country, who have no voice themselves.
Connectivity and wildlife corridors
Appreciate seeing this emphasis on further enabling wildlife corridors as part of the Moreland Nature Plan.
The development of a Connectivity Plan which identifies key corridors and habitat requirements for select representative species will help to prioritise locations and designs of revegetation programs for most effect. (Action #1.1, year 1)
Undertake a review of land ownership and management along waterways and key habitat corridors to identify opportunities to improve connectivity for both habitat and public access. (Action #1.16, year 3)
M80 Western Ring Road corridor
Need for Better Management of vegetation and weed control under Ausnet easements with a view to increasing wildlife corridor connectivity (The ownership of the land from Merri Creek to Jacana along the Western Ring Road Trail varies, but very disappointing there is no effective management plan for this corridor, which could increase its potential as a east-west wildlife corridor linking Moonee Ponds Creek to Merri Creek. No weed eradication program evident.

Q: Explain the theorem regarding convergent sequences (read details) . Theorem is:
Let {$p_n$} be a sequence in a metric space X.
{$p_n$} converges to p $\in$ X if and only if every neighbourhood of p contains all but finitely many of the terms of {$p_n$}.
I understood that every neighbourhood of p contains finite terms of {$p_n$} and also other way.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
But if we take {1/n : n$\in$ N}, where X is R, then there could be some neighbourhood of x=0(which is point of convergence of sequence) and it has infinitely many points.
I am not getting where I am making mistakes, Please find and correct me.
Explain proof of this theorem or give a hint or any intuitive way to think about this theorem.

A: NO : all but means : only a finite number of $p_i$ are "outside" the neighbourhood of $p$.
This means that we can find an $N$ such that :

for all $n > N$, all $p_n$ are "inside" the neighbourhood.

A: N  is all of definite  equations  expandation  N>n이 성립하므로 {p}는 n의 부분적인  원소집합으로  치환가능하기때문에 N은 {p}

Bot translation of Korean text:

This is because the establishment of the {p} is a set of n elements in a partial substitution is possible because N is {p}

Reviewed by xFiruath on February 27, 2015
"A highly varied and vibrant release, 'Extinct' shows both a new side of Moonspell and a nod to the band's sound of decades past."
There was a big question mark around this album after the focus shift on the previous full-length, especially when the first single released for "Extinct" was the head-scratching love ballad "The Last Of Us." To set the record straight for anyone wondering, the era of "Night Eternal" and "Memorial" is long over, and its unlikely it will be coming back anytime soon. That being said, "Extinct" is still a solid album that stands on its own, and shows a much different side of Moonspell than has been seen in about a decade.
The mix of symphonic atmosphere with Gothic metal is significantly different this time around, and frequently creates a feel fans will recognize from the "Darkness and Hope" or "Irreligious" era. The disc overall exudes a youthful, '90s-style vibe, with much more guitar soloing. Between the multiple soft tracks, the sudden style shift on tracks like "Medusalem" (see what they did there?), and the avant-garde ending track, this may actually be the most diverse full-length Moonspell has ever released.
While the opening trio of tracks give you very strong new Moonspell material that balances the heavy and soft, the second half to even perhaps two-thirds of the disc are definitely less on the extreme side. The aforementioned "The Last Of Us" is an odd bird for sure, but if you can remember back to tracks like "Heartshaped Abyss" or "Devilred" from "Darkness and Hope," you'll recall this isn't Moonpsell's first foray into love ballads that mix with Gothic metal. The keyboards in the background perhaps take it too far into cheesy territory though, which is a problem repeated on "The Future Is Dark." If the band had just dropped the over-the-top chimes in the background, that track would actually work really well.
"Funeral Bloom" is an interesting track in that it keeps things more melodic and soft, but the catchiness factor is at full power, so the song can easily get stuck in the head. The back end of the album is then broken up by "A Dying Breed," which takes things back into heavier territory. Ending "Extinct" is "La Baphomette," an Oblomov-style song with piano and chorus chants that bring to mind a swing club stage show.
The direction of the symphonic elements is very different this time around, and less brooding than in the past, with almost a "big band" tone in several of the songs (although to be clear, Moonspell hasn't gone all Diablo Swing Orchestra on you just quite yet). A highly varied and vibrant release, "Extinct" shows both a new side of Moonspell and a nod to the band's sound of decades past. How much you'll dig the album really depends on how much you prefer the extreme side of the group though, as from "Domina" onward the disc is much more toned down than what was heard on "Alpha Noir" or "Night Eternal."
Highs: Moonspell has a vibrant and re-energized feel here, with both new tactics and old standbys represented.
Lows: The album is positively loaded with love ballads, and in a few of them the cheesiness factor is just too high.
Bottom line: Moonspell changes tone from recent work, with a bigger focus on the melodic side.

Harry Brown champions the state's rural areas2018-07-022018-06-28http://businessnc.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bncweblogoblacksmall_space-01.pngBusiness North Carolinahttps://businessnc.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/harry-brown_budgetsenate6-ne-091515-hll.jpg200px200px
In 1999, Onslow County car dealer Harry Brown caught the political bug when he became president of the trade association representing the state's auto retailers. Almost two decades later, the illness persists: He's running for an eighth term in the state Senate and now ranks as one of North Carolina's most entrenched lawmakers. As Senate majority leader, Brown is a key architect of the state's $23.9 billion annual budget approved in June, while helping drive income- tax cuts that he says will save N.C. businesses and citizens $1.5 billion annually. Such is his power that a half-dozen capital lobbyists contacted for this story declined to comment publicly on his work, citing fear of getting on his bad side.
It's Brown's advocacy for rural North Carolina that has gained him particular notoriety, however. As much as any legislator, Brown, whose district includes Jones and Onslow counties, has promoted a Robin Hood-style program of shifting sales-tax revenue from wealthy areas to the poorest regions. "I'm just really concerned about the rural-urban divide," he says. "Some of our counties can't take care of their core issues like schools and housing because they have no real revenue stream. We've got to address these issues, because a lot of people in rural areas have to have some more opportunities."
What bothers Brown is the ability of larger counties to grab more sales-tax revenue than their share of the state population. In April, Mecklenburg and Wake counties — with about a fifth of the state's population — reported sales-tax collections of about $170 million, or nearly a quarter of the state's total. That enables the two counties to pay teachers more and improve other public services more easily than less-affluent areas. In northeastern North Carolina, one of the state's poorest regions, "they have no way to replace [school] facilities, no chance for bond packages. They get further and further behind, whereas a wealthy county has more options," he says.
He's also pushed for tweaks in how North Carolina doles out incentives: Most of the state's Job Development Incentive Grants go to Durham, Mecklenburg and Wake counties, which are attracting many of the new jobs. Under a plan supported by Brown, companies expanding in the state's 20 wealthiest counties receive 75% of the total grant. The other 25% goes into a utility account that helps pay for water, sewer and other projects in struggling areas. If a company expands in one of the 40 poorest counties, it keeps 100% of the grant.
To be sure, lots of effort is underway to bolster North Carolina's less-populous areas ("Rural Revamp" ). But sending money from Charlotte or Raleigh to other rural spots sparks consistent opposition from urban lawmakers, who note that many of their constituents also have limited resources and require substantial state support. In its 2017 session, the General Assembly approved a watered-down version of Brown's bill that expanded the sales tax to cover more professional services, then routed some of the increased collections into programs targeting the state's 80 poorer counties. He promises to keep pressing. "We will take another stab at it, but it will take the right time to do it."
Business North Carolina
State Sen. Joel Ford, a Mecklenburg Democrat, praises Brown's shrewd style while disputing his plan. "I was very opposed to Sen. Brown's plan because it was a redistribution of wealth. We don't build up the state by taking from the prosperous areas and giving money to the poor ones," says Ford, who was defeated in a May primary. "But Harry is looking out for rural North Carolina in a very strategic way."
For example, Brown authored a bill that shifts some registration fees collected by the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles to a fund that helps coastal communities pay for dredging. "So if you have a boat in Lake Norman that never touches the coast, you are helping pay for dredging at the beaches because of Harry Brown," Ford says. Brown's district includes North Topsail Beach.
Brown's personal story shows how a rural North Carolinian can seize opportunities. He grew up in Maysville in Jones County, one of the state's smallest and poorest counties with fewer than 10,000 people. His father, who dropped out of school after seventh grade, was a civil-service painter at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. His mother's family had a tobacco farm, where he started helping out when he was 5 or 6 years old.
After attending public schools through 10th grade, he received a scholarship for his junior and senior years at Onslow Academy, a now-defunct private school in nearby Jacksonville. "They recruited me to play football and basketball," he says.
After graduation, Brown enrolled at N.C. State University's engineering school but left Raleigh after a year and a half because he was broke. "I had a great-aunt who left $500, which I used to go to school. But that ran out, and I just didn't have any money. I was struggling to eat."
Back in Jacksonville, Brown took a $150-a-week job selling clothing at a downtown store, where he became manager after six months. Hawking cars was a better moneymaker, so he went to work at the local Buick-Pontiac dealership. He loved the business, starting as a salesman, then in 1981 at 26 moved to an affiliated Dodge franchise that was failing.
"The owner asked me to see if I could turn that store around and if not, we'd close it," he says. "When I got there, I realized it had pretty much already closed. We had only 10 employees, including sales and service."
A few months of 70-hour weeks later, the business was back in the black. Brown doesn't take all the credit for the reversal: A key factor, he says, was Lee Iacocca, the famous auto executive who joined Dodge's parent Chrysler Corp. as CEO in 1978 and engineered a famous corporate turnaround. "He brought some excitement, and the minivans came out, which helped the business."
When the dealership's owner died in 1987, Brown took out a $500,000 loan to buy it. At 32, he became one of the youngest Dodge dealers in the nation. Thirty years later, he's still selling Dodge vehicles, along with Jeeps and Chryslers, surviving downturns and consolidation that has trimmed the number of North Carolina auto dealerships from 700 in 2000 to about 300 now. He's added Volkswagen and Subaru franchises, while having owned and later sold interests in Chevrolet dealerships in Havelock and Spruce Pine. His car business now employs 125 people.
Brown has branched into other businesses, including an Allstate insurance agency and two radio stations in Jacksonville that he bought four years ago. The stations play beach and oldies music, while providing local news and sports coverage. Befitting the stations' emphasis on their community, Brown announces Jacksonville High School's Friday night football games.
By the 1990s, Brown's success freed him to return to school. He earned an undergraduate degree and, later, an MBA, from Campbell University's Camp Lejeune campus. He also got involved in the N.C. Automobile Dealers Association, a move that prompted lobbying visits to the state capital. One of his initial impressions was that small businesses lacked effective representation in Raleigh. Then a Democrat, he ran unsuccessfully for the N.C. House in 2002, switched to the Republican Party and ousted Sen. Cecil Hargett in 2004. Onslow County has not elected a Democrat in a countywide election since then, and Hargett, a real-estate developer, says another campaign would have been futile in the increasingly conservative area.
"Harry is an honorable guy who has done great things for his district," says Hargett, who has made several $1,000 political contributions to his former opponent. "If you need something done, he's going to respond. My view is that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
Brown has run unopposed since 2006, though this year he's facing Democrat Joe Webb, a former principal who now mentors new teachers. "I don't think uncontested elections are good for democracy," Webb says. "I've known Harry since he was a teenager, and I have a lot of respect for him."
In his first legislative term, Brown played a controversial role in the passage of the state lottery. Votes in the legislature, then controlled by Democrats, were very close on the issue, with most Republicans and a handful of Democrats opposed to the gambling initiative on moral grounds. But in August 2005, Senate President Pro Tempore Marc Basnight called for a vote when he realized that two anti-lottery Republicans — Brown and John Garwood of Wilkes County — would be out of town. Garwood was sick, while Brown was on his honeymoon and unreachable. After the Senate voted 24-24 on the bill, Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue broke the tie, setting the stage for the lottery.
"I couldn't support the lottery because I wanted all of the money to go for school construction, and it didn't," Brown says. Despite skepticism to the contrary, his trip to Myrtle Beach was legit, he says. "I had gotten married during the session, and so we went on our honeymoon. Some still call it the honeymoon lottery, and it will always be debated as a good or bad thing."
When Republicans took control of the N.C. Senate in 2010, Brown was tapped as majority leader, reflecting a reputation as an approachable guy who listens to his caucus members. He's a staunch conservative, supporting the North Carolina Chamber's jobs agenda on every key vote in 2017 while receiving some of the lowest overall scores from environmental and progressive groups. He has opposed expanding Medicaid for low-income North Carolinians, rejecting the view of Gov. Roy Cooper, hospital executives and many business leaders who say it could provide an economic boost for rural areas.
"You have to put counties in a position where they can help themselves," he says. "If they depend more on the government, money is going to get tighter and tighter, and I don't think that is a winning solution long term."
Brown rebuffs the notion that North Carolina should focus its efforts on bigger cities because the urbanization trend is irreversible. "That is a sad approach and we don't want everyone to live in three places," he says. "I really want to fix some things, which is why I'm pushing the envelope on some these issues."

Documents filtered by: Author="Carrington, Edward" AND Period="Confederation Period"
To James Madison from Edward Carrington, 18 December 1786
From Edward Carrington
New York Decr. 18. 1786
Dr. Sir,
Your favor of the 4th. Instant was received by the last post.1 It was fortunate that the same causes of the delay of the Mail, operated also to prevent the sailing of the Packet. With very little trouble I placed your letter in the hands of Mr. Chavalier.2 The re-election of Colo Lee has afforded me the highest pleasure, as it undoubtedly relieves his feelings, but I am at the same time deeply affected by the loss of Mr. Jones from the delegation.
I cannot learn that Mr. Jay is proceeding in the business of the Mississippi. He probably will waite to see the Countenance of the new Congress. If he can assure himself of the cover of a bare majority, I believe he will make the treaty, and rely upon the timidity of some of the dissenting States for the ratification. It is probable the Eastern column will be broken in Jersey and Pensylvania, and, it is equally so, that there will be a change in some of the Southern States.
The business of a convention is well brought forward by Virginia, and I hope their act will be generally adopted. The dereliction of Massachusetts is, however, to be apprehended.3 The delegation of that State prevented the recommendation of the measure from Congress, as suggested by the deputations at Annapolis, and advised its non adoption in their Legislature. The effect of this advice, I have not been informed of, but the natural supposition is, that nothing was done in the late Session, and there will not be another, before the time proposed for the convention of the deputies. The reasons given by these Gentlemen for their opposition are, that the mode of amending the confederation is provided by the Act itself. Amendments, are to, originate with Congress, and, be agreed to by the States, and that it would derogate from the dignity and Weight of that body, to take a secondary position in the business. This is an elevated idea, and, in an efficient Sovereignty, would be a wise one. The truth is, we have not a government to Weild and Correct, but must pursue the most certain means for obtaining one. We have only four States now on the floor. I am dr Sir Your Sincere friend & St.
Ed. Carrington
RC (DLC).
1. Letter not found. An autograph dealer asserted that a letter of Edward Carrington, dated New York, 1 Sept. 1786 (CtY: Betts Autograph Collection), was addressed to JM. The editors, from negative internal and circumstantial evidence, have concluded that the unknown recipient was definitely not JM.
2. JM's letter to Jefferson of 4 Dec. 1786.
3. The Massachusetts delegates were skeptical of the call for a federal convention, as Nathan Dane's harangue before the state legislature on 9 Nov. 1786 made evident (Burnett, Letters description begins Edmund C. Burnett, ed., Letters of Members of the Continental Congress (8 vols.; Washington, 1921–36). description ends , VIII, 504). When Massachusetts finally authorized a delegation to attend the Philadelphia gathering, they were instructed to convene for the sole purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation (Clinton Rossiter, 1787: The Grand Convention [New York, 1966], p. 154).

A Lover of the Cultural & Colorful | Art | Dance | Theater | Books | Without the Snobbery | NYC & Paris

Arts Guide: NYC's Lower East Side
The west side has the Whitney Museum and the Chelsea gallery area, the High Line and the soon-to-open Little Island, Barry Diller's $250 million dollar project.
But what about the Lower East Side? Once an infamous hub of artistic freedom and creative expression, home to Jean-Michel Basquiat and Allen Ginsberg, the Lower East Side is hardly the ugly stepsister of Manhattan's west side. Read on for where to get your cultural fix on the eastern end of lower Manhattan.
Visual Arts:
Lower Manhattan has an aesthetic all its own, and the eastern edge is a distinct visual experience. From the street art murals dotted throughout the neighborhood to the mix of pre-war and brand new architecture, the area is a hodgepodge of style that becomes, in a way, its own character. Beyond the many galleries to peruse or museums to visit, just walking around the LES can delight and inspire on a visual level.
Rae Maxwell for MoSA
Two gems of the area are conveniently located right across the Bowery from one another, and art buffs could make a day of it hopping from one to the next. The New Museum, a silver structure that slightly resembles a teetering pile of legos, is the only museum in the city to focus exclusively on contemporary art. Visitors can expect an extremely varied rotation of exhibitions, with several in-house at any one time. Because the museum does not have a permanent collection, there is always something new for interested parties to explore.
The Museum of Street Art, relatively recently opened, is an interesting link to the New Museum. Described as "a love letter to The Bowery and the Lower East Side," MoSA pays homage to 5 Pointz, the famous unofficial graffiti hub in Queens that was destroyed in 2013, while also supporting a new era of street and graffiti artists. MoSA is an interesting take on a museum, one that is a bridge between the standard building of white-washed gallery walls, and the gritty, undefined sprawl of 5 Pointz: a 20-floor staircase of graffiti art within the citizenM New York Bowery hotel. While the New Museum is an exclusively contemporary space, MoSA celebrates artists of today while paying homage to a lost piece of New York's artistic soul.
The Brant Foundation, farther east off Avenue B, is another relative newcomer to the area. After opening with a landmark Basquiat exhibition last March, the foundation established itself as a jewel in the area's cultural crown. The current exhibition, Third Dimension, which features selections from Peter Brant's personal collection, is no less impressive. Visitors can expect a star-studded roster of artists represented across the foundation's four floors, including Andy Warhol, Urs Fischer, Cady Noland, Claes Oldenburg, Julian Schnabel, and more. The exhibition will run through September with no plans announced yet for what will follow.
Fans of photography will also not be disappointed by the LES. The International Center of Photography, or ICP, is not only a museum with acclaimed exhibitions across many photographic mediums, but it is also the world's leading photography institution. The center has not only championed emerging and established artists, but has helped launch the careers of many other photographers over the years.
Performing Arts:
Dance? Check. Stand-up? Check. Theater? Check. There's something for everyone in the neighborhood. Fans of modern dance will want to familiarize themselves with Paul Taylor's studios on Grand Street.
Paul Taylor Dance © Paul B. Goode
The space might not be where the Company frequently performs, but PTAMD offers frequent pre-professional classes, master workshops, and bi-annual intensives for students to learn about Taylor's signature style. And Taylor is not the only performances to catch in the area. The historic Connelly Theater offers high-quality theater to audiences at an affordable price, and the East Village's Orpheum Theater is residence to the iconic 'STOMP' show. Just north, at Performance Space New York, rotating shows by boundary-pushing artists are fostered and performed through the organization's incubator program. If you're looking for something ultra contemporary and thought-provoking, these shows are a must-see.
Over-achievers could even attempt to squeeze all the culture into one day. This map shows an easy loop throughout the neighborhood, beginning at MoSA.

Curiosity made a cleaner an apprentice
Mopping floors seemed to be her destiny until she sacrificed her lunch-hour to learn how mechanics worked on cars.
Nomthandazo Petros, a Motor Mechanics Apprentice at Taylor's Automotive Services in Cape Town, was employed as a Cleaner but her thirst for knowledge presented her with an apprenticeship opportunity.
"I got interested in knowing how mechanics stripped car parts, fixed them and re-assembled them. So, I asked my manager, Mr William Taylor, if he could get someone to teach me," she explains.
Petros was given an opportunity to learn how to work on cars during her lunch hour and when a motor mechanics apprenticeship opportunity arose, she was the first to be considered.
"This was a success-defining moment for me. I knew that the struggles I had endured over the years were about to become a thing of the past," she says.
Petros started her apprenticeship training in March 2019, which is being funded by the merSETA. She describes this as an exciting opportunity because, although she has been working on cars for four years now, having a formal qualification will boost her chances of launching a successful career.
Petros (right) with Mogotsi Mokotedi (left), Senior lecturer Automotive at College of Cape Town
Having completed matric in 2012, Petros could not study further due to financial problems. She found herself embracing every employment opportunity at her disposal, due to a lack of qualifications. "I lost count of the number of CVs I handed out. Eventually, I had to settle for odd jobs, such as being a baby-sitter," she explains.
Petros had a difficult upbringing, having been separated from her mother following the death of her father when she was only 11-years old. She was raised by her aunt, who also had five children, with her husband being the breadwinner.
"I had to share whatever was available with my cousins but despite the challenges, I continuously reminded myself that I had to better my life. This passion became even stronger after the birth of my son, who is now five-years old. Realising my dreams means that I will be able to provide him with a foundation for him to also realise his dreams," she explains.
Petros believes that funded programmes provided by the merSETA alleviate the pressure on learners and parents who cannot afford further education. She explains: "With this kind of support, learners are able to push themselves to succeed. Interventions of this nature are important as skills are rare in our country and are often outsourced from other countries.
"My journey in life is an indication of how important it is for one to gear one's mind towards success. I want my story to serve as a 'beacon of hope' for other young people who feel hopeless due to their circumstances, be it financial or otherwise. Our disadvantaged backgrounds should not define our future. What is important is not the challenges we have endured growing up but rather, what we choose to do with them going forward," she says.
After completing her apprenticeship, Petrus wishes to pursue an autoelectrical qualification. "Industry has various opportunities that are interlinked. I want to be in a better position to access these opportunities easily and one day own an enginering workshop," she concludes.

(Worldkings.org) Coopers Brewery Limited is the world's largest producer of homebrewing equipment. Coopers bottled beers are characterised by their secondary fermentation technique - some yeast remains in the bottle after bottling - thus the bottled beer contains some sediment.
Coopers Brewery Limited, the largest Australian-owned brewery, is based in the Adelaide suburb of Regency Park. Coopers is known for making a variety of beers, the most famous of which are its Pale Ale and Sparkling Ale. The brewery sold 69.7 million litres of beer in the 2013 financial year.
It is also the world's largest producer of homebrewing equipment. Its shares are primarily owned by the extended Cooper family, and the company's constitution and classes of shares makes it difficult to sell shares outside the family.
Coopers beers are widely available on tap in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, and in some bars in the rest of Australia as speciality beers. They are widely available in bottles and (to a lesser extent) cans around Australia and New Zealand, and occasionally at specialist importers in other countries.
The distribution of the beers outside of South Australia has been largely promoted since 2003 by the subsidiary Premium Beverages Pty Ltd.
Coopers bottled beers are characterised by their secondary fermentation technique - some yeast remains in the bottle after bottling - thus the bottled beer contains some sediment. There are three schools of thought with regard to the sediment - some drinkers like to mix the sediment throughout the beer by tipping or rolling the beer before drinking, while others prefer to decant the beer into a glass leaving (most of) the sediment at the base of the bottle. Coopers have made such choice a strong element in their marketing strategy.
Some find that mixing the sediment results in a shaken beer and prefer not to mix the sediment at all, simply opening the bottle and drinking. The action of drinking from the bottle serves to distribute the sediment anyway without shaking one's beer up.

Tuesday afternoon, driving to pick up Ben from after school musical practice I overheard Olivia having a little devotional with Sophie. First they sang our family's default reverent song The Sacred Grove. For years that's been our go-to when we need to get things quieted down at scripture time. But in Olivia's version Joseph was kneeling not "upon that Holy ground..." but rather "upon the Holy grail..."
Next was the prayer. Olivia helped Sophie say it..that's when I heard "Bless that the Holy Grail will be safe..." Obviously there's been too much Monty Python in the home.
Tuesday evening another delicious meal appeared at our doorstep, this time from the Young Women's presidency. Two big pans of chocolate brownies, hot fudge, and vanilla ice cream included. So Wednesday morning I happened on William in the kitchen, helping himself to the leftovers.
And since I know how delicious gooey, chocolaty, brownies taste first thing in the morning, I didn't have the heart to take them away.
I asked, "How about a bowl William?"
And he said, "Bowl. Yummy."
Then when he was full he showed me his hands and said "All done. Wipe."
So William's learning how to navigate meaningful conversation.
I thought Sophie looked sophisticated in brown and floral so I wanted to take some pictures. Sophie hasn't really learned about posing.
It's all been a blur to me too. Sophie.
That's how I ended up with this enormous pile of laundry in the living room.
Thursday was a big day for Grant. He had out-patient surgery, a giant Spitz nevus, or in other words, a mole removed from his leg. He came home with his leg bandaged and was quite proud of it. I was grateful that he didn't seem to be in pain at all, was quite cheerful and playful the rest of the afternoon, and didn't need any of the prescribed pain medicine.
"Dat's where I gotta broken leg."
"I hate my life." She was worried that she had missed recess.
"The later you are the less you have to learn."
I was grateful for those supportive words.
Friday Sam and I watched The Conversation in the afternoon and I finally got the laundry cleared out. In the evening Sam and Ben went to the International Cinema with Jackie and Isako. We are blessed with good friends here.

'Juneau' of Funeral For A Friend?
by Stu Chown May 10th, 2003
Welsh hardcore noiseniks Funeral For A Friend have announced details of a new single and live dates.
The band are to re-record and re-release the song 'Juno', to be re-titled 'Juneau', originally from their debut EP, for a release date of July 21st. It will be the first single since signing to Infectious (a label now owned by Warners), and the first from their forthcoming album, entitled 'Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation', which should be out sometime in September.
Before all of that, of course, you can catch FFAF playing selected dates on the upcoming Kerrang! Club tour:
May 24th - Bristol Academy
May 27th - Reading University
Both nights will feature sets from K! DJ's Ace, Ashley Bird and Nik Young, as well as lots of drinking. Probably.


By chance, I spotted a tweet announcing an open day at Sutton Community Farm.
We thought this might provide a useful learning opportunity to help with the new allotment, and we wanted to check out what facilities they had. When it started snowing, we were a bit apprehensive but we decided not to let that put us off our visit.
Despite the inclement weather, Joris Gunawardena, Farm Director and Head of Production, took us on a tour of the farm. We started in the polytunnels.
In the first tunnel, Joris showed us their mushroom growing trial. Here he is with a crop of oyster mushrooms, which are grown in spent coffee grounds that come from Caffè Nero in Wallington.
Mushroom growing is a new venture for the farm – they are trying to understand the process with a view to scaling it up. It was fascinating to see but a little beyond our Quest for Veg allotment plot capabilities (for now!).
Using polytunnels allows them to extend their season. Joris told us that they can increase the yield of a tomato plant by 100 per cent. He also told us that they are the most productive community farm in London. Last year their yield was 17 tons of produce. Most of it goes to their veg box scheme although 25 per cent went to restaurants, and they are hoping to expand the restaurant side.
Pak choi (below) is a good crop because it grows very fast. allowing them to harvest and replant in quick succession.
Pak choi at various stags of growth because it has been harvested and replanted a bit at a time.
A huge amount of what they grow is produced using Mypex. To stop it fraying, they use a blow torch to cut holes in the fabric where the plants are to grow and where they want to put the automatic watering system.
Mypex is often used in organic systems as a weed control mechanism. It is something we are planning to use on our plot. Andrew is also planning an automatic watering system. So it was great to see both of these in action.
Below you can see winter perslane on its second flush of leaves, having been harvested once.
Winter perslane or miners' lettuce (Claytonia) grown through a weed-suppressing membrane.
Outside it was a bitterly cold day. Kale and the remains of a sprout harvest are kept under wraps to protect.

Despite the freezing temperatures and occasional snowflakes, a few brave souls worked to clear beds ready for the coming season.
The farm relies on volunteer support. Between 50-80 people help out each week with everything from administration and veg box preparation to harvesting and site maintenance.
They have a rigorous crop schedule so that everyone knows what jobs need to be done.

The soil at Sutton Community Farm is sand over chalk meaning that it has a tendency to dry out. This can give them problems with crops such as garlic which need a good supply of water. So they grow it under a membrane to help keep moisture in and grow an early purple variety of garlic to increase their chance of success.

The tour ended with a quick look at colourful raised herb beds.
But, sadly, it really was too cold for us to linger too long. We'll need to visit again in the warmer weather.
We'd like to say a big thank you to Joris and the team for making us feel so welcome.
A very cold cold frame.

Since the start of OIF in 2003, a wide variety of IED jammers appeared, both active and reactive, such as; Warlock Green, Red, Blue, ICE, MICE, SSVJ, MMBJ, Cottonwood, Jukebox, Symphony etc. Collectively they were now known as CREW - Counter Radio-controlled IED Electronic Warfare.
Different jammers work by different means. Active jammers disrupt RC bombs with a flood of radio waves on pre-selected frequencies that drown out the triggering signal.
Reactive jammers "scan and jam" by monitoring the electromagnetic spectrum and then block the frequencies they are programmed to block.
The Rhino system is a passive counter-passive infrared tool that the armed forces have come to rely on due to its simplicity and effectiveness. Rhino is a capability used to defeat a subset of IEDs and features a universal bracket that can be mounted on any vehicle platform to detonate passive IR-initiated IEDs prior to their intended targets entering the kill zone. Rhino can be integrated with the SPARK or Cyclone systems as well providing more flexibility to the soldier. The first systems were developed in Iraq in May 2006. Over 19,000 Rhinos have been delivered to theater so far. Upgrade kits were provided to Rhino systems (Rhino III) that include heat monitoring systems with safety and performance improvements to the heating elements that will meet the unique terrain requirements of the Afghanistan theater of operations.
The instructions are clear and should make the assembly fast and easy. Photo etched fret is comprised of 20-ish parts but when assembled will fully look the part. The only problem I can see is (like all other PE Rhinos from other manufacturers) it will need some precise bending of the square post. A bending tool will come in most handy here. Depending on the vehicle you can depict it retracted or extended by assembling the telescopic post with different height. Rhino devices can be positioned both horizontally and vertically, but instructions show just the vertical position. Perhaps some work will be needed to show it deployed. A bracket for the M1117 as well as the HMMWV is provided. I found a picture of the assembled kit on the Voyager Models website that could be helpful with the assembly that I included in this review.
This is a useful addition that can be used to detail a bunch of vehicles and the good thing is that it's inexpensive, you get two sets and should be relatively simple to assemble.


BCAAlift is a combination of branched chain essential amino acids (BCAA) and Vitamin B6 in its active form. The ratio of 8:1:1 (8 parts L-leucine to 1 part L-isoleucine to 1 part L-valine) optimises the increase in muscle mass and activates important growth factors, which are associated with protein synthesis. BCAAlift is unflavoured and can be combined with other Essential Nutrition products or other beverages.
Among all essential amino acids, the branched-chain amino acids are the most important for muscle growth. The ratio of 8:1:1 (8 parts L-leucine to 1 part L-isoleucine to 1 part L-valine) optimizes the anabolic effect, as the amino acid Leucine is most effective at activating the so called mTOR-signalpath which controls protein biosynthesis. This reaction pathway is responsible for muscle hypertrophy. It is sensitive to concentrations of Leucine, which implies that levels of Leucine increase, a signal will be send to mTOR and thus increases the synthesis of new muscle protein.
Active vitamin B6 is the most active type of vitamin B6 pyridoxal-5-phosphate and is of fundamental importance to the protein synthesis in the muscles, because the transfer of amino acids into the cells is highly dependent of it. Only if the amino acids reach the inside of the cell they are can be utilized for protein synthesis which then leads to growth in muscular mass.
The product uses sweeteners obtained from plant-based sources, with very low Glycaemic Index. It is safe to be used by pregnant women, children, and people with diabetes or who are simply concerned about maintaining their health.
Add one (1) scoop (7g) in about 150ml (1 cup) of the beverage of your choice and mix until completely homogeneous. Dink immediately after preparation. Attention: when preparing, observe the mark on the scoop.
INGREDIENTS: sweetener (xylitol), l-leucine, isomaltulose*, l-isoleucine, l-valine, pyridoxal-5-phosphate, waxy maize starch, sweetener (steviol glycosides), stabiliser (xanthan gum).


The sense of smell is closely linked with memory, so if you want to be unforgettable (for the right reasons!), select your scent carefully. For a first meeting, choose something subtle that won't overpower and apply it sparingly. We love Women's Collection Innocent White Lilac for their delicate aromas.

Q: Single Concurrent User Login - ASP.NET / Silverlight I need to restrict users in my application to login from a one computer at a time (i.e. if they login from computer 2, computer 1 session will be ended). My application is created in Silverlight and will be running in via an ASP.NET page inside IIS. This is an enterprise scale application so any solution has to be highly performant.

*

*I don't want to restrict the user to using a single computer.

*I can't rely on the IP address of the client to be unique.

*All server calls are made from the Silverlight application, so any solutions using SessionId needs to bear this in mind.

Are there any "standard" features available in Silverlight, ASP.NET or IIS that provide such a feature?
What other programming models can be used to acheive this?
Thanks,
Mark

A: Session cookie ;) Simple. Basically if user logs into a new session, ask him to invalidate the old one (throw him out there), or close the new one (throw him out there).
OWA (Exchange 2010) has a mechanism like that.
Standard features: no. Needs programming.
Session Start event can be used to do the check.

to make the rolls : mix the flour,milk and salt in a vessel. now using little water knead a soft dough. the dough should neither be too stiff nor too soft.keep it aside for 15 mins.
knead the dough and divide it into equal parts and roll out thin rotis.
heat tawa and cook the rotis (ready 3/4 cook) on both sides. keep aside. don't cook the roti completely otherwise while assembling the wrap they will get very crisp and dry.
to make the stuffing: mix all the ingredients of marinate well and then add paneer cubes. let the paneer marinate for 15-20 minutes.
heat oil in a pan and fry capsicums for 2-3 minutes.
now add marinated paneer and saute for 5-6 minutes on medium flame stirring occasionally. now add tomatoes and saute for another minute.
to make a roll: take a roti and spread some green chutney in the center, then put the paneer-capsicum-tomato stuffing evenly in the center. sprinkle thinly sliced onion and some chat masala. now fold /14 of the roti horizontally from the lower side and then roll the roti vertically tightly ensuring that no stuffing falls out.
how to serve: heat the roll on the tawa. then wrap each roll in a aluminium foil and then cut diagonally from the center into two pieces. arrange on a platter and serve with tomato and green chutney.
1. you can use whole wheat flour (atta) to make healthy wraps.
2. you can use non stick to cook the paneer and avoid oil.
3. you can use low fat yougurt for the marination.

2.) Analysis for a table game I've been working on for WAY too long. The game has a huge state space, which has made analysis really grueling. My client contacted me about a week ago, and I'd like to report to him with some good news…I just hate it when things linger.
4.) Next video for PokerPwnage.
I also need to find time to find my girlfriend a Xmas present. I went to the Brass Mill Center in Waterbury, CT yesterday, but I couldn't find anything (though I did get to play some World Poker Tour pinball). I have no idea if I'm going to return to Brass Mill Center or if I'm going to try some other place. BAH HUMBUG!
Now for some poker! This morning, I received an email from somebody asking a question about win rates. Since this tends to be a popular topic, I figured I'd respond here. The person who emailed me wants to know how feasible it is to make $40K-$50K per year at $0.50-$1 no-limit hold'em cash games playing an average of 2.5 hours per day.
If you're massively multitabling 6-max $0.50-$1 no-limit hold'em cash games, a good winrate these days is 2-3 PTBB/100 (a PTBB/100 is equal to double the big blind…the term comes from Poker Tracker, which originally came out when limit hold'em was the game of choice; in limit hold'em, 1 big bet (BB) is equal to 2 big blinds (bb)). Many players grind it out at 0-1 PTBB/100 and make a good chunk of their money from rakeback and VIP loyalty programs. If you limit the number of tables you play at once and practice really good table selection, you can get your winrate up a little bit. But these days, a winrate above 5PTBB/100 is simply extraordinary (perhaps this is partially due to people like me).
Now that you've seen this calculation done for a specific game type, you should be able to reproduce it for any game. The big key is knowing your MGR (which you can get from Poker Tracker 3 or Hold'em Manager) and your effective rakeback. Alternatively, if you play the same game for an entire month, you can simply divide your effective rakeback by the number of hands you played to obtain how much rakeback you make per hand.
