Epiphany or Three Kings Day is January 6 and as the Twelfth Night officially ends the Christmas season. It is a day to celebrate the baptism of Jesus and the arrival of The Magi (Three Kings or Wise Men). In the Middle Ages Christmas was celebrated from Christmas Eve to January 6. And Epiphany Day was a major celebration well into the mid 19th century when its importance diminished. The Catholic Church no longer requires January 6 to be celebrated as a solemnity on that exact day and celebrates it on the Sunday that follows it. Some Protestant churches celebrate the Epiphany season from January 6 till Ash Wednesday. Orthodox Christians celebrate it on January 19 as they follow the Julian calendar.
So who were the Three Kings? There is a lot of debate on this. Some doubt they existed and some consider it a pious fantasy. Much of what is called the Three Kings today are embellishments that have been added over time. The Gospel of Matthew, the earliest source of the story, is quite simple and only refers to them as Magi from the east. Nor does it say there were only three but three gifts were given. And it is possible they were actually Nabataeans, a trading people that lived in northern Arabia to the Southern Levant whose capital is known as Petra today. Dwight Longnecker in his book Mystery of the Magi examines this evidence. Worth reading if you want to learn more about who these Magi might really have been.
The King cake is a tradition of many Twelfth Night feasts.
Traditionally there are 12 days of Christmas beginning on Christmas Day (December 25) and ending on Epiphany Day (Little Christmas/Three Kings or Wise Men Day) on January 6. Customs vary by country but almost always there are special activities, foods, and in opening of presents as well.
The celebration of Twelfth Night came about in medieval and Tudor England when Candlemas originally ended the Christmas season. A special cake was prepared with a bean and pea hidden inside. The man who found the pea in his slice of cake became king for the night while the woman who found a pea became Queen for the night. Christmas carols and feasting would also take place. A special punch for Christmas, wassail, was often drunk on that night but also during the entire season as well.
Since Twelfth Night is about the impending arrival of the Three Kings, the statues of them would appear in the crib or the following day in countries such as Ireland. Christmas decorations would start to be taken down as well and certainly by the end of Epiphany Day. Edible portions of wreaths (fruits or nuts) would be consumed as part of a feast as well. The famous Shakespeare play Twelfth Night was written as entertainment for the holiday.
Twelfth Night is considered secular by Christian denominations and not a required day of observance. The following day, Epiphany Day, is a solemnity and observed by attendance in church.

"Queen Beeatrice" is one of Camilla's new oil on wood panel paintings for Beauty In The Breakdown. Superfan Darla shares a poem Beeatrice inspired;
She replaced her heart with honey comb, and filled it with her thoughts. To attract her little honey bees, to fill the empty spots – Darla P.
Camilla answered some fun and thoughtful questions for Beauty In The Breakdown.
1. When do you get the most painting done? Morning, Noon, Night, Middle of the Night/Morning?
-If you can believe it I'm both a night owl and a morning person so most of my work is done in the am and late late at night. I think I spent a couple of months going to bed at 4am and getting up at 9am while painting some of these pieces. Not much sleep was had, but it was worth it. I never regret my sleepless nights and days because I'm so motivated and inspired that if I had it my way I'd pull two months of all nighters if it wouldn't kill me.
2. Have you ever accidentally drank or was about to drink the dirty 'paint' water?
-Full disclosure….yes…hangs head in shame. I totally dunked my paint brush in my tea and didn't realize it until I had a sip. Not surprising fact; Holbein Oil paints don't taste good.
3. What inspired the direction of your work for the upcoming show?
-This show is my 10yr anniversary show so I spent some time thinking about my journey as an artist over the past decade, from the beginning to present and was really fascinated by the journey my work seemed to take. People reflect who they are in their art and seeing who I was back then and who I am now was something that I wanted to explore. The work is an exploration of the many facets of myself as an artist and person so there is a wide variety of themes rather than one singular one. I equated it to a parfait, there is a layer of playfulness, sadness, romanticism and even the bizarre. Each piece is inspired by a different faction of myself but also a mixture of past and present. I am a hopeless romantic to this day but I've changed in 10 years, from a single girl to a married woman. I can look back at my early work and see a lot of themes of unrequited love, heartbreak and passion but rather than repeat that theme I wanted to blend it with who I am now, so its a more mature view about love I think.
4. What other artists work are you 'fan-girling' over right now?
-I am head over heels for Hikari Shimoda right now. I just had a show with her in NYC at Cotton Candy Machine and seeing her work in person was unbelievable. There is so much depth and layers in her work that will blow you away. She's a total sweet heart so that makes her art that much more beautiful to me. I could look at her work for hours its so good.
5. What motivated you to choose the life/career of an artist?
-Poor life choices. Ha ha no I'm kidding. The truth is that I always wanted to be an artist since I was a kid. Anyone that knows me knows that even as a kid all I was interested in was drawing and watching cartoons…and dinosaurs. I would have been a paleontologist if I didn't have such fair skin and burned like a lobster in a pot whenever I'm in the sun for 10 minutes. So I put all my eggs in the artist basket and worked hard to develop my style and career and I love it. I get to be a big kid and its great.
6. What brand of paint so you use? What's your favorite color and brush right now?
-I get asked this a lot, I use Holbein DUO oils. They are so delightful! I am in love with Ice Green, its like a soft teal that I wish I could just paint my entire house with, it would be so magical.
7. How long does it take to complete a single piece? Do you work on multiple pieces at one time?
-Honestly it depends on the size and elements in the painting, plus how much energy I have during my painting sessions. I don't even know how to measure how long it takes sometimes because I can work on a painting for a week from morning till the wee hours of the night. It can take anywhere from a month to a week and a half of hardcore painting and I tend to work on one at a time so it keeps things straightforward in my mind.
8. What creative person; artist, musician, director, family member etc… has had the most influence or inspired your own artistic voice?
-That's a HUGE question like casting a net into an ocean that connects to a lake. I don't know that I have ONE person that has inspired me the most but rather a cast of characters that I can say have influenced me over the years. If I had to narrow it down to the people who have inspired me to be myself and given me the confidence to express myself freely then I'd say it would be my sisters, my bff and my ever supportive husband. The people who are closest to me have given me the support that I needed to be myself without worrying that I had to edit myself.
9. What do you know now, that you wish you would have known when first embarking on your artistic career?
I didn't know that being an artist was also a business. I think with my heart first and my instinct is to just go with the passionate side of art without considering the consequences. It would have been great if I had known to consider the pragmatic side of being an artist I think I would have been better prepared for what it means to be a professional artist now.
10. If your could invite 5 people dead or alive to a dinner party, who would be on your guest list and what's on the menu?
Oh my gosh…i kinda want to invite a guest list of fictional characters. I'll answer this in two parts. Real life…hmm…. Leonardo DaVinci, Albert Einstein, Ian Somerhalder, Jane Austin and Cleopatra. I couldn't imagine a crazier cast for a wildly inspiring dinner party! We'd eat a gigantic Italian meal that is 7 courses of carby goodness and end it with a glass of grappa over gelato. If I could have a dinner party with fictional characters I'd hate Damon Salvatore, Daryl Dixon, Dean Winchester, Mindy Lahiri and Tuxedo Mask. We would eat chinese take out because with that ensemble you know that its a safe bet, but i think by the end of the dinner half of us would be dead. It would be a memorable night thought and that's what life's all about afterall.

I am sharing two cards today...wasn't sure if the first is really a pun. The first card features a diecut by Imaginice and a computer generated sentiment. The second card features SU and a Basic Grey diecut. Both were created using papers found on my table.
These are very cute, Linda! I love the 'thank ewe' card. That's so cute that he's holding a heart!
Both are great...love the wooly ewe...wonderful cards as always, Linda!
Both of these are very nice. I really LOVE the sheep image. I think that sentiment is one of my favorites. And I really like the color combo on your first one. I need to drag out more plaid and spread it around.

Cryotherapy sounds like something you sleep in on your way to Mars, but it is actually simply what you are doing when you ice a sore ankle, take a refreshing cold shower, or ice your hand after burning it on a hot stove. Simply put, it is the use of ice or cold as therapy.
Cryotherapy (from Ancient Greek κρύος meaning "icy cold, chill, or frost") is a recovery method that some pro athletes and biohackers use nearly every day. The benefits touted by cold exposure enthusiasts include faster recovery time, an enhanced immune system, increased cell longevity, decreased levels of inflammatory molecules (like interleukin 6), and, of course, an increased tolerance for exercising outdoors in the winter, especially north of the 49th parallel.
Aside from slapping an ice pack on a sore ankle after a misstep during a morning trail run, the majority of the population has never dunked themselves into a 20-minute ice bath or a hot-cold contrast shower, or stepped into a sci-fi looking cryotherapy chamber. Are they missing out on something amazing? Are you? Let's take a look.
Does Cold Help with Pain?
A bunch of studies have come out recently that show the effectiveness of cold thermogenesis, icing, and cold water immersion. Let's examine two of them. Both these studies looked at the effects of cold on decreasing muscle soreness, exercise-induced muscle damage, and inflammation.
The first study called The Effects of Multiple Daily Applications of Ice to the Hamstrings on Biochemical Measures, Signs, and Symptoms Associated With Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage, demonstrated that icing three times a day for 20 minutes at a time can assist with soreness. This is good news for anyone who has just started a workout program that has been leaving them feeling beat up and sore—but let's put a pin in this notion for now. You may want to wait until you have read this entire article before you finish your squats and immediately slap on an ice pack.
In the second study, Acute Response to Hydrotherapy After a Simulated Game of Rugby, researchers found that rugby players who used two 5-minute cold water immersion sessions (ice baths) were able to significantly reduce soreness and the effects of muscle damage.
So, yes! Whether it is a cold shower, an ice bath, or some cold packs, you can break out the cold if you want to alleviate sore muscles.
Does Ice Help with Healing?
The Greek physician Hippocrates wrote about using cold therapy to control pain and swelling way back in the fourth century B.C., and the Roman physician Galen described using cold compresses for pain management on soft tissue injuries back in the first century A.D. Despite the long history of using ice for pain control, there are studies that are commonly cited in the argument against icing for healing.
If inflammation is the body's natural way to heal an injury, why the heck would you want to stop this helpful inflammatory process?
When an injury occurs, your body creates inflammation as part of the natural healing response. So, the argument goes, if inflammation is the body's natural way to heal an injury, why the heck would you want to arrest this helpful inflammatory process?
It has also been pointed out that icing has been shown to increase the permeability of lymphatic vessels (the tubes inside you that help carry excess fluids back into your cardiovascular system). The problem with that is, once this lymphatic permeability has been increased, there may be a risk of large amounts of fluid flowing back into the sore area. This could, in turn, cause even more swelling than before.
Also when ligament injuries were induced in pigs (a corollary to the type of injury you might get when weight training), the swelling was greater in the limbs that were treated with ice. But in the study (as well as in another study entitled Cryotherapy Influence on Posttraumatic Limb Edema) the chilly little animal subjects were iced for very long periods of time—up to one hour in length. That is well beyond what any sports doc would recommend you do on your sprained (or is it strained?) limb.
Another study that is commonly cited in the argument against icing is the 2008 study Is Ice Right? Does Cryotherapy Improve Outcome for Acute Soft Tissue Injury? This literature review of cryotherapy research concluded: "There is insufficient evidence to suggest that cryotherapy improves clinical outcome in the management of soft tissue injuries." So the jury is definitely still out on this one.
Are Cold Showers and Baths Really Bad for You?
Does Icing Work for Sore Muscles?


So you've generated a great concept and a vision to create a nonprofit company. But where do you start? Here we've offered your plan to get a brand-new nonprofit off the ground with sustainability always in mind company register nz company register nz.
The process of forming and incorporating a nonprofit is similar to a corporation, except for a few distinctions. company register nz A nonprofit can not be developed from any of the following entities: Sole Proprietorship, Limited Responsibility Corporation or a Corporation "C" or "S".
A nonprofit, like a corporation, is a legal entity different from the creator( s); it could endure the life of its owner( s) and also could exist considerably. Unlike a company that is possessed company register nz by its investors, a nonprofit does not have shareholders as well as is not possessed by any person, however is taken care of by the board of supervisors. The various other distinctive distinction between a firm and a nonprofit is how the revenue is strained. Now, let's take you through the process.
Tip One: Employee a Board of Directors. A board must include diverse depiction from the following: money, lawful, a person that stands for or is considered an expert when it come to your objective, a person who stands for individuals you exist to serve, local business executive( s) – company register nz especially from a business who has the tendency to money companies like yours, community/professional volunteer( s) – persons with a network of wealth, and another nonprofit exec.

Step Two: Formation Fulfilling. The formation meeting is a conference of the first board of supervisors to elect on incorporating and also seeking the tax exemption condition in addition to to develop the function of the nonprofit. Throughout this meeting and also all succeeding board conferences, make sure to take meeting mins to show an unanimous agreement by the board before moving forward company register nz.
Tip 3: Naming Your Nonprofit. Name selection is very important due to the fact that it determines your function and produces your identification as well as identity and brand. Pick your organization name like you choose your youngster's name-repeat it typically, pretend to respond to the phone using the name to hear if it has a great ring to it. You could pick virtually company register nz any kind of name you desire for your organization as long as it is not already being used. You can check name accessibility on your state's controling web site to see if it is readily available prior to you file it. Normally, this is the assistant of state's workplace.
Tip Four: Integrate. The incorporation procedure is similar to that of a corporation. The Articles of Incorporation are prepared and also submitted with the state's governing body; once more, normally the Secretary of State's office. Some states have sample articles which you can acquire and utilize in preparing your articles, nevertheless, fulfilling the state's minimum filing demand does not always suggest you meet the Internal Revenue Service's needs. company register nz Make sure you properly and also meticulously draft articles of consolidation that meet the needs of the IRS if you intend to apply for federal tax exception; which you will. There is a filing cost associated with this process paid to the state. The charge for the state is typically around $100; the declaring fee for your tax-exempt status is around $850.
Tip 5: The Laws. You are required to prepare laws for your nonprofit. Bylaws are the guidelines made use of by the board to govern your nonprofit. The majority of states do not call for a copy of the laws to be filed with the state. No matter declaring requirements, it is a state legislation calls for that a bundled entity have actually composed bylaws. The Internal Revenue Service will certainly need a duplicate of the bylaws to be filed with your application for tax-exemption.
Step 6: Acquire your Federal Employer Recognition Number (EIN). As soon as you've finished your documents, you will certainly should obtain an Employer Recognition Number (EIN) additionally referred to as a government tax ID from the IRS. You could do this quickly and conveniently online. Don't forget to publish out a copy for your permanent records. You will certainly additionally need a copy to submit to the IRS with your tax obligation exemption application. To request your EIN visit the IRS's web site. It is essential to keep in mind that merely holding an EIN number does not imply you are authorized as a 501( c) 3 by your state or the IRS. You could elevate cash for your company prior to approval. company register nz Nevertheless, be mindful that most of the time, providing companies call for an approved 501( c) 3 as well as will certainly request for a copy of your approved condition letter.
Step Seven: Application for tax exemption to the IRS. After you have integrated your nonprofit as well as obtained your EIN, after that you can start your tax exemption application to the Internal Revenue Service utilizing IRS Type 1023. The form could be obtained at the IRS site. This is a comprehensive application. You need to carefully read the directions, find out about the legislations of conformity, finish the application, and also collect & set up the add-ons. Employing a professional to help you is highly recommended. If you are trying to do this by yourself, the IRS estimates a few hundred hrs are needed to finish this application. After your preliminary evaluation, complete the application to the 'letter' of their instruction. If your application is unclear or missing out on essential information, it will be returned to you for additional information. If it does not fit within the tax obligation exception policies, it will certainly be rejected. As stated above, there is a fee associated with this application; about $850. The cost adjustments occasionally, so be sure to examine the filing charge prior to you send the application. The IRS is presently taking in between 6-8 months to appoint the application to an exempt organization specialist. If your application is approved, you will certainly get a "Letter of Resolution" that categorizes your organization as tax excluded. The nice feature of this lengthy process is that the date of your exception is retroactive to the day that the Internal Revenue Service initially got your application. This indicates that if you did receive a donation needing 501( c) 3 standing before your authorization, you will eventually be in conformity with the financing company as well as the IRS. Yet, it is not suggested to increase funds externally until you receive your Letter of Decision.
State Tax Exception. A lot of states acknowledge and also approve the federal tax obligation exception "Letter of Resolution." Nonetheless, there is a handful of states that have additional state demands to be revenue tax excluded for state functions. You will have to consult your state's governing body to see if there are extra state requirements.
Ongoing Conformity. After you are formally included as a nonprofit organization, there are a handful of points that you should do to keep compliance with state and also government requirements. Some states call for an annual record. Most states require a yearly business revival, as well as some states do not need state revenue tax obligations to be submitted unless the nonprofit receives a certain threshold earnings. As you can see, each state runs in different ways. The key is to maintain on your own notified as well as current with the requirements of your details state. On the government side, IRS Form 990 or a variation of Type 990 is required to be submitted yearly. This is the annual tax return kind for nonprofit organizations despite revenue. Currently, the legislation mentions that if you cannot submit Form 990 for 3 consecutive years, the Internal Revenue Service will automatically withdraw your nonprofit condition. If this happens, after that the nonprofit can no longer receive tax-deductible contributions. Additionally, you will certainly need to reapply for tax obligation exception once again. You have actually made the effort to build your nonprofit, so make the effort to care for it and also continue to be certified.
Next month look for a step by step process to elevate those initial bucks for your freshly integrated nonprofit.

Laurino part of strong Manitowoc Lincoln showing

HTR: What do you feel allowed you to step up your game a little bit to win by such a dominant score?

HTR: What are you thoughts on your team's season so far?
HL: I think we'll do a great job this season. We're (3-0) in the (Fox River Classic Conference). We've done a great job as a team and I think later on in the season we'll get even better.

HTR: What are you expectations for the rest of the season?
HL: I think we'll win conference and make it to State maybe.
HTR: What is it like being a freshman and competing at No. 2 singles?
HL: It feels really good. It's odd being up that high as a freshman but it's really fun to play all these different kind of girls who are juniors and seniors. It's a great experience, I love doing it.
HTR: Do you feel it helps having a teammate in Budnik who has competed at No. 1 singles and reached State since her freshman year?

'No surprise'—FDA sticks to the script ahead of Aimmune peanut allergy AdComm
Sep 12, 2019 8:30am
At the start of the phase 3 trial of Aimmune's immunotherapy for peanut allergy, patients couldn't tolerate a fraction of peanut protein. After one year of treatment, 67% of patients who underwent immunotherapy could tolerate 600 mg of peanut protein—about two peanuts or a small bite of a peanut butter sandwich. (Steve Buissinne)
The briefing documents are out (PDF) for the highly anticipated advisory committee meeting for AR101, Aimmune's immunotherapy for peanut allergy—and there are no surprises, Piper Jaffray analysts said. The company's stock closed at $25.46 on Wednesday, a leap of 15% over the previous day's close.
"Briefing docs right down the middle of the fairway," wrote the analysts, noting that the agency stressed the difference between allergic reactions to the treatment and allergic reactions due to accidental exposure to peanuts. The phase 3 study tested the AR101 against placebo in 555 patients aged four to 55. Aimmune is seeking approval for the treatment in children and adolescents up to age 17, who made up nearly 90% of the study participants.
At the start of the trial, patients couldn't tolerate a fraction of peanut protein. After one year of treatment, 67% of patients who underwent immunotherapy could tolerate 600 mg of peanut protein—about two peanuts or a small bite of a peanut butter sandwich—compared to 4% who received placebo. This is more than four times the median amount of peanut protein that, in an accidental exposure, causes a reaction.
RELATED: Aimmune says shutdown blocks peanut allergy drug review
"What we're actually trying to protect folks against in the real world is about half a peanut," Aimmune CEO Jayson Dallas told FierceBiotech. "About 125 mg is the median dose that causes an accidental exposure to result in a systemic allergic reaction that may be life-threatening when people are out in the real world trying to avoid peanuts."
Patients taking AR101, which will be marketed as Palforzia if approved, had a higher rate of allergic reactions, epinephrine use and study dropouts than the placebo group: 89.1% versus 57.5%.
"But when looking at this therapy's real utility—avoidance of AEs requiring treatment upon accidental exposure—Palforzia significantly lowers the incidence," the analysts wrote.
After all, that's what Aimmune is trying to do with Palforzia: reduce the risk of reactions when people stumble upon traces of peanut in their daily lives rather than in the controlled setting of a clinical trial.
"It sounds more dramatic than it is," Dallas said, referring to concerns about the safety data. "These folks are coached that when they go on therapy, this is what is going to happen. They accept it and expect it … There is a misperception out there that this treatment is causing mass allergic reactions and folks going to the emergency room."
The Allergenic Products Advisory Committee will meet Friday to review Palforzia.

According to the American Payroll Association (APA) almost 75% of U.S. businesses are paying employees for time not actually worked. The APA also indicated that loss, due to time theft, can run from 4% to 7% of Gross Payroll. Assuming the APA estimates for theft are accurate and your cost of labor is running around the industry average of 30% then it would be safe to further assume that a restaurant with $1,500,000 ('$1.5M') in sales could be losing $18K to $31K per location on an annualized basis.
Voids, Comps, and other means to adjust orders in process, just placed or delivered are a necessity if you operate a restaurant. Let's face it, employees can make mistakes while entering orders just as customers can change their minds and now want a different item or realize they don't have enough cash and now need to pay with a credit card. On the other hand, if you just tendered a customer's order to cash, you'll need to void the order and re-enter using the new tender type.
Of course, these are just two of many examples where voids are a requirement. Comps on the other hand are used in the restaurant business when the wrong item was delivered or the customer was unhappy with their experience. While these tools are available to make corrections and adjustments as needed – your employees learn quickly that they can just as easily be manipulated to their financial advantage.
In today's highly competitive restaurant marketplace, restaurant companies are slowly evolving and becoming more data-centric when it comes to decision making but it's definitely a learning process. Part of the reason is due to changes in the way many newer systems (POS, BOH, etc.), are delivering Above Store Reports (ASR) on daily activities. OK before I go further on this, let's go back to the beginning and then fast forward back to today.
I'm not going to go all the way back to paper and fax machines but for those that remember this tedious process, I'd be remiss to ignore its existence. With the advance of the Internet and computers, paper forms and faxes were replaced with reports being made visible by logging into the POS or BOH systems. One main difference between now and then is the early systems required you to login to each location individually before you could see any reports.
Before we jump into the characteristics of an Enterprise Data Warehouse ('EDW') it might help to define what an EDW consists of. An EDW is a centralized repository that integrates data from various transactional, legacy, or 3rd party systems and applications that are used to operate and manage your business. In contrast to these systems, the EDW is built for analysis and retrieval of data rather than the upkeep of individual transactional records.
Ralph Kimball, one of the original architects of data warehousing and someone whose teachings we adhere to, provided a more concise definition of a data warehouse: "A data warehouse is a copy of transaction data specifically structured for query and analysis.".

Beyond War: Quote of the Day
"This thing can change the direction of the Milky Way to chase another Galaxy? Why are we fighting this guy again?"
"Mostly, because he's an asshole."
"Okay. So long as we're clear. I guess I'm in. It can't possibly get any worse."
Suddenly his head turned as if in shock and paused for what seemed minutes, staring directly at me, motionless. I dared not breath, as if something terrible was right behind me. It was as if he were studying me, but his eyes never moved or changed their focus from my face, puzzled concern his stone expression.
As I finally inhaled to speak, the Kay'gi interrupted, "Oh you have no idea," and turned away as if he could not look at me like some puppy thrown from a window into the middle of the freeway. I had never seen anything close to fear in his eyes before that moment. As if worlds were burning.
Beyond War: Quantum Singularity Reactor - Abstract
Stupdity is rarely defined as clearly as it was made by SOONERCON event hosts, attempting to claim PARAMOUNT STUDIOS owned the right to black holes, based on the flop "Star Trek Voyager" *1995-2006". While Voyager killed STAR TREK, virtue signalling progressive issues to the extent that it offended every native American by the racism evident in the production and gender denigration used to prop up terrible writing and stolen concepts at every turn.
Signularities have been a subject of science fiction since the age of Rasselon, in British Broadcasting Corporation world famous "Doctor Who" serial, in which the leader of the Time Lords harnessed a supernova to power Time Lord Society, build ships that were bigger on the inside, and move those ships through "Time and Space" - materializing and dematerializing in space and time.
Beyond War approached this matter as a question of physics and energy to destroy planets, stars, and space itself. The result of this product was a device known as a QUANTUM SINGULARITY REACTOR.
In 1993, Enterprise "Face of the Enemy" (6x14) and "Timescape" (6x25) aired an episode where time disruptions occurred because of a Romulan reactor breach. In 1995 in episode 3x19 of Deep Space 9 episode "Visionary" (3x17), the quantum singularity as a cause of non-linear time is employed again. In 1998 February Voyager episode "Message in a Bottle" and "Hunters" again cited the technology used by the Hirogen, and per memory alpha Voyager only refers to this as "The station is also using a small quantum singularity, or black hole, only about a centimeter in diameter, as its power source." - showing confusion between the prior time-dilation effects in earlier Entperprise and DS9 citation.
While this is a reference, attaching the word 'quantum' to a gravity signularity drive based on a 'black hole', despite having nothing to do with the prior BBC series of time-travel or time-dilation other than naming one of the Voyager characters 'The Doctor' literally, this footnote was never widely regarded as legitimate fiction due to the abysmal disgrace that Voyager represented to the franchise, similar to the 13th Doctor in BBC post-Moffat/Capaldi, which tanked fandom like a German Torpedo did the Lucitania.
Despite this in the Petersen kidnapping for blackmail and extortion on threat of murder in 2001-2020, promoters for SOONERCON - a former 1998 Star Trek fan run event reformed with sponsorship from JAMES ALLEN - sought to blackmail the BEYOND WAR project (a product of ALLEN and company) after ALLEN refused to pay $5000 USD demanded by the hosts from a medical charity fund.
In retaliation, the Soonercon committem member claimed fraudulently that the QSR technology of BEYOND WAR was related to the PARAMOUNT PICTURES use of BBC 'singularity' and time dilation technology in 1993 and 1995, and again in 1998, in a knowing criminal fraud. While it is absurd to allege ownerhsip of the term "BLACK HOLE" (a film owned by Walt Disney Productions, 1979 December 18), or the Rassilon character from "Doctor Who" (BBC, 1983) known as "The Eye of Harmony" (1979) in that worldwide fiction.
Use of copyright in this way, to claim broad and unreasonable copyright over scientific concepts solely due to words like "quantum" or "singularity" would be like the United States suing anyone who built a nuclear fission bomb or fusion bomb for trademark infringement. The actual implication of the words are relevant to context and application, having no similar meaning to the "Supernova" or "gravity point similar to a theoretical black hole" described by Stephen Hawking, and shows how "nazi" style propaganda and human trafficking have deeply infected both Hollywood and Soonercon event staff to carry out such claims during a real child abduction and concealment to extort a registered UNITED STATES CORPORATION in Oklahoma in a Terrorist hoax and public fraud.
Quantum means 'measure' or smallest distinguishable atomic measure, in precision - as in quantitative - and is not by default a temporarl measure in every context. Likewise, singularity means "a point at which a function takes an infinite value, especially in space-time when matter is infinitely dense, as at the center of a black hole" in mathematics. Both are far too broad to define a trademark as 'common words', used in numerous scientific measures, nor to represent in the presentation of a 'black hole' (a physical event, not subject character copyright rule - if not first use by Walt Disney in film adaptation thereof), as a property of PARAMOUNT PICTURES.
This brings us to the concept of 'character copyright' and 'liteary character copyright', which any semi-literate writer trained in Western Law knows is a protected medium against infringement or abuse raised by SOONERCON and members of the "187" murder group to extort the BEYOND WAR staff and writers during 2001-2020 kidnapping.
The "QSR" character in BEYOND WAR is a device, which represents a specific character in the work of fiction, described as being as small as a thin coin (a dime) and capable of "bridging the causality matrix of linear events in such a fashion as to detatch segments of time from the Universe which are then destroyed - converting their entire potential energy into a singular wave-function event that is channeled back to the index point in space-time via the device, and so discharged into local space in a destructive arc that exceeds the quantum spectrum of the Universe potential energy in that local region."
This is like amperage from one annode arcing to an annode, creating a plasma bridge which is so highly charged that it disintegrates spacetime, severing the manifold boundary that insullates dimensionally cojoined space and 'rising' or 'sinking' through the local space like a hot plutonium core would in a meltdown event, having no matter or energy present in our quantum of local space capable of restraining its immediate momentum to return toward its ground-state adjacent manifold.
Hence the term in Beyond War of "High Energy", which also relates to "Low Energy" alternatively, distinguishing the same behavior in the opposite polar direction of flow and describing the adjoining dimension (next-quanta) which is the native energy state of that potential overflow. As the physics formula expresses, 0 to N is the poential energy of our Universe. N is equal to N plus 1, where 1 is the maximum valence of our quantum reality and N represents the excess energy discharge into our manifold (local) space, which cannot be sustained by spacetime without collapse. The modulus of the energy sum is therefore present only briefly before it is unable to dissipate into the surroudning environment, and "falls" through the fabric of space like a bowling ball through a wet paper towel, destroying as a consequence both the things on top of the paper towel as well as anything stuck to the bottom (like a pocket dimension, susbspace, or anteroom dimension).
Since some creatures (Sanguine) are anteroom dimensions with their vital body on the 'backside' of this virtual paper-towel, only a QSR can actually destroy them and the mechanisms, machines, resources, and components that create their 'surface' presentation in our dimension and perceivable Universe.
The legitimate question of, "What happens to the paper towel after this bowling ball passes through it?" is secondary to "where did all that energy come from?"
To answer that question in BEYOND WAR, a diagram is useful. Alternatively, the 'deja vu' theory of QSR operation states that a segment of time is destroyed which is non-essential in the timeline, resulting in "Deja Vu" effects like a rough splice in a series of moving pictures, from which sentient beings can discern some disturbance has occured, and ripples appear in regions affected by QSR weapon discharges thereafter in the timeline wave function (see diagram #2).
As the diagram shows, the "quantum" component of a BEYOND WAR QSR subsects the causality (C) point of a timeline and removes the segment of the Universe in which exist between two discreet "Bridge" points (B), annihilating the Universe and restoring the bridge (B) function using a fraction of that energy alter the timeline. Every time you sense "Deja Vu", someone has destroyed a part of the Universe, having pulled the trigger on one of these devices once. Is time destroyed only in the past as you recall it, or in the future as a 'potential Universe' that never was, but existed only for an instant and solely to be destroyed for use in this cause, and to what consequence all these 'diddling with the causality mechanism of the Universe' and future, is a substantial question of BEYOND WAR as a fiction.
As to whether you should pull the trigger when you have an angry 2,000,000,000 year old God in your sights of your six-iron... well.... that's a question too.
Like the man said, it is more complicated than just playing with the event horizon of a gravity well or collapsed star, and nothing to do with 'black holes', despite the use of the mathematical symbol ∞ with the improper word 'singularity' in a screenplay. Likewise, the term quantum is a measure, not a suggestion of temporal non-sequiter flashbacks and flash-forwards popular in Western pulp-television plots. Quantum represents in this context the actual discreet size of UNIVERSE destroyed, from a few nanoseconds to an entire future and every possibility that follows one decision.

Q: Lookup product category from UPC Code Is there a way to get a product's category from its UPC code?
For instance I want to use the upc code to determine if a food item is, frozen food, dairy bread, alcohol, etc...
Is there a web service that will do this?

A: The Wikipedia article doesn't say anything about UPC containing any product category number. The UPC just consists of a global manufacturer number and article number.
As upcdata.info categories are user-generated, not every product is contained in a category or products are categorized differently (e.g. "oregano" could be categorized as "spice", although there is a category "italian spices").
My approach to categorizing products by EAN/UPC:
I had the same problem, but instead trying to get low-quality category data from a web service I just pulled manufacturer information from GEPIR (which is the official registrar for EAN and GLN, also works with UPC numbers).
As I noticed that big companies like Nestlé, Procter&Gamble etc. have separate number ranges for different product (sub-)categories, I just try to identify those ranges and assign the appropriate category.
On the other hand, if I know that a manufacturer only has products of one category (e.g. spices), I can assign all products of that manufacturer to the "spices" category.
Despite of this automatic approach, there's still much work to do in order to get every product categorized intelligently.
Good luck!

A: You probably can make a quick mashup using: searchupc.com and upcdata.info and then retrieve product information from google product API.
Also, you can use AWSECommerceService API to retrieve something like this:
        ItemLookupRequest request = new ItemLookupRequest();
    request.getResponseGroup().add("Large");
    request.setIdType("UPC"); // TODO: need to change if it's EAC
    request.getItemId().add(upc);
    request.setSearchIndex("All");

Following the US Presidential election of 2016, the Wall Street bulls began a stampede through the stock market at a pace sufficient to instill a feeling of hope and usher in a promise of wealth and prosperity. One can only hope that the streak continues on, though one can never know with certainty whether the bull market will continue, or for how long. A point of discussion brought up recently amongst some friends was whether investing in the stock market was a balanced, thoughtful endeavor, or rather, was it akin to gambling at the casino, no different than plucking a chip down on the roulette wheel in Las Vegas. Initially, I scoffed at such a comparison- for after all, this is investing, full of metrics, research, asset allocation, etc. I considered the factors that I bring to bear upon the decision of buying and selling of securities and how regimented it all seems. But then again, there are countless gambling stratagems as well. In reality, the bears and bulls of the stock market are driven by human nature and boil down to the simple human emotions of fear, greed, and hope. In that sense, it is exactly like gambling, a game of chance.
The Bridge of San Luis Rey, a novel written by Thornton Wilder and published in 1927 opens with Brother Juniper witnessing, by chance, the collapse of this famous bridge as five travelers were making the crossing. Chance or providence? I think we struggle with this question on a continual basis-whether occurrences in one's life are random events or the omnipresent hand of God at work. This was the central question posed by Brother Juniper in the novel. Was it happenstance that that ancient bridge snapped at that particular time and hurtled those 5 particular people to their death or were larger forces at work. Poor Brother Juniper was, unfortunately, burned at the stake for posing that simple but heretical question.
Another theme developed in the novel is the role of fate and love in one's life and is summed up in the very end of the book stating that surely the individual will pass on from this life, but there is a bridge from this life to that and the bridge is love.
So while the stock market swings to and fro ruled by fear, hope, and greed, it was Thornton Wilder who interjected into the mix the strongest of human emotions- love.
-"Providing The Bridge Between Discerning Buyers And The World's Most Unique Spirits" -With this statement from the Anchor Distilling Company and a name bringing to mind Brother Juniper, how could I not review this Gin? First impression is BOLD. This is an unabashed juniper forward London Dry Gin done right. The botanicals are classic and 12 in number: juniper berries, coriander seed, angelica root, orris root, dried lemon peel, sweet orange peel, seville orange peel, cubeb, cassia bark, cardamom, anise seed, and grains of paradise. To the tasting, the flavor is, as I said juniper forward up front which then blends into a distinct peppery spice. Nice citrus notes seem to weave their way throughout. Although bottled at 98.6 proof (San Francisco strength), it is very drinkable undoubtedly due to the expert melding of the botanical flavors. I highly recommend this Gin without caveats, it makes a sublime classic Martini.

Do I Really Need Insurance Certificates?
After our last few blog posts, hopefully shippers better understand the nuances of cargo insurance, and realize they need to request cargo insurance to protect their business before errors occur. Cargo insurance protects shipper's freight from loss, damage, or theft when transported by a carrier. These past articles covered the what, when, and why of cargo insurance. We also saw a need to write about how insurance works in the trucking world. So how do shippers actually go about making sure their cargo is protected during transport? Shippers can request certificates of insurance from their carriers to ensure they have the proper coverage for the job at hand.
What Are Certificates Of Insurance?
Make sure your insurance certificates contain this information, and that you have a detailed understanding of your carrier's policy before shipping your goods.
Why Do Shippers Need To Request Certificates Of Insurance?
Shippers request certificates of insurance from their carriers, assuring them insurance is provided to cover lost or damaged cargo. As we've discussed in the past, accidents happen; therefore, shippers need to request cargo insurance to protect their business when errors occur. For example, what would happen to your company if an entire shipment were lost? What if your shipment is being transported via container vessel and the ship sinks? Your company is responsible for a share of the losses. How would that affect your bottom line?
While these situations may seem far-fetched if they've never happened to you when shipping cargo, it is not worth it to for-go cargo insurance. Overall, requesting certificates of insurance in order to understand and verify your carrier's policy is the best method of protecting your freight and business from future errors.
How Often Should Shippers Request New Insurance Certificates?
There are a few different situations when shippers would want to request new insurance certificates from their carriers. First, if you are about to start working on a high value project with a big client, it's crucial to be organized and have all proper documentation before the project starts. This includes requesting new insurance certificates to ensure your carriers are valid and your cargo is protected.
It is also important to request new insurance certificates from your carriers with the general passage of time. This ensures you're up-to-date on any policy changes such as areas of coverage or dollar amount of liability. It also helps you make sure the coverage is current, and won't expire before the completion of the project. Simply check the expiration date on the most current insurance certificate you've requested, and if it will expire in less than a year, request a new certificate. This way, you're business understands the carrier's coverage and has the proper documentation for at least another year.
Finally, it's not always possible, but shippers can request that carriers alert them to any changes in their policy. This means the carrier will notify you of any changes in coverage, amount of liability, or approaching expiration. If a change has occurred, shippers need to make sure the new policy has adequate coverage for the job at hand. If not, it's time to use a different carrier, restructure your deal with the carrier, or purchase umbrella insurance.
Overall, the transportation and logistics industry has inherent risks. And while errors do happen, your company can be protected with the proper insurance policies. Certificates of insurance will verify and explain your carrier's insurance coverage, and how it relates to your business. Therefore, it is important to request new insurance certificates from your carriers in given situations, ensuring the protection of your business.

What's really going on with funding for the Irish women's football team
The Irish soccer team came achingly close to a surprise victory over Germany at the weekend, but it wasn't to be. The final score after a last-minute goal was Rep of Ireland 2 Germany 3.
There's a full match report online here if you need it, but this post is more of a look behind the scenes at the team's efforts.

There's been some Twitter noise in Ireland about the women's team allegedly losing their 'per diem' allowance this year, and claims the men get better treatment. But when I looked into it with the Football Federation of Ireland, that's not exactly the whole story.
Team manager Sue Ronan had this to say:
"The per diems (daily allowances) were taken away but that happened to all international teams in the FAI except the senior men's squad. We were treated equally.
Our budget for the senior team this year is €360,000 – double the amount of the men's U-21 team.
The players don't want for anything when they're in camp – they stay in top hotels like Carton House. Our squad has played 24 internationals in the past two years compared to 15 in the three years before that.
We're aiming to raise the profile of women's football – that's what the money goes towards."
These are things we don't highlight enough I think when it comes to women's sport - it's not all bad news all the time.
The figures show €1.14m has been spent on the women's senior team in the last three years. And a spokesman said this year the planned spend is higher than ever.
Much of this money goes on behind-the-scenes work - things like training, backroom team and dietary requirements. The training camps might open your eyes - a week in January with two "games behind closed doors" against Holland and England, at La Manga football club/resort in Spain. This was followed up last month by 10 days at the Cyprus Cup. Ten days, four international matches against New Zealand, South Korea, Switzerland and Canada.
The players on the Irish team all play with clubs as well in the Bus Eireann National League. But just in case that training isn't enough they also do weekly strength-and-conditioning as a national squad.
The spokesman also pointed out that the great (my word) facilities at Tallaght Stadium are now available to the women for all home matches.
So there you are, women's soccer in a pretty healthy state in Ireland. All you have to do now is get down to some games!
Handy Factoids on Funding: (thanks FAI)
Women's emerging talent programmes have been set up U12, U14, U16, U18 nationwide.
Bus Éireann National Women's League - €300k spend in last three years.
Soccer sisters programmes rolled out nationwide for 921 participants annually.
FAI Summer soccer schools had 1800 female participants last year.
FIFA Live Your Goals programme for female players saw 987 girls participate in five separate venues.
Numbers of registered female players have doubled in the last five years.

I witnessed the sadest indictnent of emerging girls soccer in ireland in the oscar traynor grounds on the 14th of april 2014. Mgl officals let a team from shelbourne comprising legitimate u18 players and cup tied, as in disalllowed u16 players take to the pitch in the carlie fitzgerald memorial cup and awarded the cup to a team that blatantly and flagrantly broke the rules of their own competition against a legitimate rival. It is soccer and the reputation of the mgl that were the losers yeaterday not the dignified players from newtown fc. No child should be asked to go onto and remain for 90 mins on a pitch with an opposition that breaks the rules. I feel it was a show of compleye disrespect from ahelbourne fc, their players and tje mgl to the memory of carlie fitzgerald.
@Anon - thanks for taking the time to comment in such detail, I will look into that incident and see what went on. From what you're saying it sounds quite irregular.
Could you play on the Irish Girls Sevens team?

For a tiny country, Denmark has cornered the international market on coolness. Celebrity chef René Redzepi put hyperlocal cuisine and foraged foods on the menu. Nordic noir shows like The Killing and The Bridge spawned streaming binge sessions around the globe. "Hygge" had us all swaddled in wooly blankets in front of fires seeking the Dane's national brand of coziness.
Then there are the Danish It girls, like Pernille Teisbaek and Emili Sindlev, who epitomize Scandi style. Truly, Copenhagen may just be our favorite city for the mellow yet sophisticated looks on its streets. One tip we picked up from these Northern beauties in the hip district of Nørrebro: Scandinavian-inspired sweaters are the next heritage piece primed for mass appeal. Their folksy patterns, colorful yarns and snug warmth make them so inviting.
Here are a few of our favorite cheery knits to shop now. Pair them with pants or skirts for a fresh fall look. And feel free to mix prints with your knits: it's how the Danes do it.
Paris Fashion Week Spring 2017 is coming to a close—désolé! But don't despair: our final installment of (shoppable) street style from the French capital—captured by our gimlet-eyed reporter Kristin Yamada—is here, with tips on how to copy—er, emulate?—the looks.
Danes do street style with a dash of contemporary Nordic cool. Our global trend reporter Kristin Yamada aimed her trusty lens at some of the sleekest looking Scandinavians and visiting fashion folks during Copenhagen Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017. Here are our favorite shots from her time on the ground in Denmark.
London Fashion Week Fall 2016 helped to mint a new generation of designers while reasserting the influence and ingenuity of established British brands. Burberry injected grunge notes and pixie dust into a punky fall collection, while Vivienne Westwood, the punk doyenne herself, showcased ladylike suits and dresses on models with smudged lipstick. Relative newcomers like Ashley Williams and Faustine Steinmetz exhibited the casual cool of the new guard.
Shrimps designer Hannah Weiland was again a hit on and off the runway with her faux-fur jackets inspired by her 91-year-old grandmother, who was a story herself this season.
Pernille has that effortlessly cool aesthetic that is so enviable in the Danish. This statuesque beauty has tackled everything from fashion magazines to modeling to her own blog (Look de Pernille). She has great taste and an eye for emerging trends.
I love her oversized fits and textural pairing. The thick knit jumper hints at the season to come, and the full leather skirt is one of fall's hottest ticket items. Her red accessories vamp up the look and add some nice pops of color.
