LEBANON, NH - Obesity, a global epidemic, is a known contributor to several cancers, including breast, colon, and pancreatic. Stopping the obesity epidemic could be a critical aid in preventing and treating numerous cancers. Researchers with the laboratory of Craig Tomlinson, PhD, at Dartmouth's and Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center have found a critical target in this cause. The team discovered that a receptor found in almost all cells, called AHR, and known primarily to combat exposures to environmental chemicals, also plays a big role in the body's metabolism. Blocking AHR not only prevented, but reversed obesity in study mice. The team's findings, "Reversal of obesity and liver steatosis in mice via inhibition of aryl hydrocarbon receptor and altered gene expression of CYP1B1, PPARα, SCD1, and osteopontin," are newly published in the International Journal of Obesity.
"We carried out experiments showing that when a drug named NF and known to block the AHR, was added to a high-fat diet, mice did not become any fatter than mice on a low-fat control diet," says Tomlinson. "Mice on the high-fat diet with no NF became very obese within the same time span. No ill effects were observed from the drug."
The team then asked whether blocking the AHR with NF could not only prevent obesity but reverse it. "In these experiments, we allowed the mice to become obese on a high-fat diet, and then half the mice were switched to the high-fat diet containing the AHR blocker NF. Over the next few weeks, the mice switched to the high-fat diet containing NF dropped to the same body weight as those mice on the low-fat diet. The remaining mice on the high-fat diet became obese. Again, no ill effects were observed," explains Tomlinson.
Finally, Tomlinson's team investigated the mechanisms behind how the AHR, when blocked by NF, prevented and reversed obesity. Using previous knowledge that the AHR regulates key genes in fat metabolism, the team discovered that in liver cells and in fat cells, the AHR, when blocked by NF, fails to induce several key genes required for fat storage and synthesis. They concluded that the prevention and reversal of obesity from blocking the activity of the AHR is due to key genes regulated by the AHR that are involved in fat metabolism. "Few to no studies have shown that obesity can be reversed by a drug treatment; it is even rarer to know the underlying cellular mechanism," notes Tomlinson.
Tomlinson's team has begun investigating several key questions, including those around the dietary compounds in the food we eat that activate the AHR to cause obesity, and the role that gut bacterial play regarding the AHR and obesity. Most importantly, they have initiated a clinical trial to determine whether the AHR may serve as a therapeutic target to reduce obesity in humans. "We are beginning to understand how the blockage of the AHR prevents and reverses obesity, which may lead to a therapeutic treatment of obesity in humans," says Tomlinson.
Craig Tomlinson, PhD, is a Senior Research Scientist/Analyst/Engineer, Associate Director for Shared Resources, Director of the Genomics Shared Resource, and Member of the Cancer Biology & Therapeutics Research Program at Dartmouth's and Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center. His laboratory research focuses on the common theme of using high-throughput genomics approaches to study gene/environment interactions in development and disease.

Q: Force exerted by atmospheric pressure as compared to gas pressure in a piston
In the above problem, the force exerted by atmospheric pressure on the piston is the product of the atmospheric pressure and the exposed piston area, which is the area of the piston less that of the shaft. While I can see why that is the total atmospheric force exerted on the piston it is not clear why that is the total atmospheric force, because the shaft is also exposed and the atmospheric force should also act on the shaft. So the total atmospheric force would equal the atmospheric pressure times the piston's area. Can someone explain why because the shaft is present the atmospheric force is the product of the atmospheric pressure and the piston's area less that of the shaft?

A: They are asking for the force on the shaft. Apparently that is to include the contribution from the atmosphere.

A: Write the equality of opposite forces acting on the piston.
$m_{p}\times g+m_{sh}\times g+p_{atm}\times S_{p} +F=p\times S$

Rackspace recently gave our second annual Fanati™ award. The award honors the one customer that has best demonstrated excellence when it comes to customer service. Douglas Hanna, one of the contest judges, has written a special guest post about the contest and the winner.
As a customer service consultant and journalist, I have the opportunity to work with and report on a variety of companies of all shapes, sizes, and specialties.
I first started covering Rackspace in July 2006 and have enjoying following company since then. I have had the opportunity to meet and interview several Rackers and when I was asked to participate in the process of deciding which of Rackspace's 31,000 customers would win THE FANATI contest award in September, I gladly accepted.
THE FANATI contest has a simple mission: to recognize Rackspace customers who value customer service as much as Rackspace does.
With that goal and my understanding of what Fanatical Support meant to me in mind, I reviewed a small stack of finalist applications and graded each finalist on a scale of one to ten in five areas. To me, Fanatical Support isn't about responding to emails in a timely manner or being polite (that's expected in today's market). Instead, Fanatical Support is about going the extra mile. The companies that have set themselves apart as exceptional service providers are the companies that consistently go the extra mile for each and every one of their customers.
While I didn't know the names of the companies or specifically what they did when I was judging the applications, I did have some important information: they industry the companies were in, the numbers of customers they had, and the number of employees they had.
The company that ended up winning THE FANATI, The Pangea Foundation, is a relatively small company (12 employees and 1,500 customers), but also a company big enough to understand that Fanatical Support involves everyone being fanatical about service and not just the founders.
I was impressed with how The Pangea Foundation thought about their service mantra, dubbed Client-Intimate Service, in terms of both the abstract and the practical. They knew what Client-Intimate Service and less specifically, a broader "fanatical" approach to service, entailed on both the cultural level and the operational level. This is something that is difficult for many companies to grasp, but because The Pangea Foundation had this understanding, they were able to implement their ideas effectively.
I've mentioned this idea to other people since I read The Pangea Foundation's application and I think the simple quote sums up an important aspect of Fanatical Support: work hard for your customers and they will show you their appreciation by referring their friends and colleagues.
Douglas Hanna is the founder and a Principal at Service Untitled Group. He blogs about customer service at www.serviceuntitled.com.

Finding Minnesota: Floating The Scenic, Gentle Cannon River
Filed Under:Cannon River, Canoes, Finding Minnesota, Jane Nelson, Kayak, Kayaks, Lindi Steffan, Mike Binkley, River, Ross Nelson, Tubes, Tubing, Welch, Welch Mill, Welch Township
WELCH, Minn. (WCCO) — Minnesota's 10,000 lakes offer wide open spaces for fast boats and personal watercraft.
But for a quieter, more relaxing day on the water, there are seven rivers in the state, designated as "wild, scenic and recreational." One of them, the Cannon River, offers a refreshing way to enjoy nature, with very little effort involved, on a canoe, kayak or inner tube.
"If you want to, you can just get out in the middle and let the current pull you down," said Ross Nelson of Welch, "and spend the whole day at it."
The Cannon River eases along at one to two miles an hour typically, guiding visitors through a lush green valley.
"It's a beautiful canopy when you look at it," said Nelson. "It's almost jungle-like in spots."
Nelson grew up along the river, and can spot wildlife that others might miss, such as snapper turtles on the riverbank.
"If you're quiet, you can usually canoe right up to them and get a closer look," he said.
Nelson and his family have been helping people explore the river for more than 40 years.
They rent out tubes, canoes and kayaks from a building that used to be the family's feed mill.
At $10 a person for a full day of tubing, they often draw big groups.
"Just like being with all your friends and like going through the river and getting tan, of course," said a teenage girl, in line to rent a tube.
The Cannon is not as well-known and not as crowded as other tubing rivers, which some say means less trouble.
"I mean people have their drinks out here," said Lindi Steffan of Prescott, Wis., "but it's a lot more relaxed and definitely a way better family environment."
The river does get too high at times and too fast, as it did this past weekend.
That's when the Nelsons suspend business – even when people try to offer them more money to make an exception.
"If we wouldn't want to put our family out, we're not going to put anybody out on the river," said Jane Nelson, co-owner of Welch Mill.
They say it's not meant to be a thrill ride.
It's a break from stress, a chance to dial back, with very little work involved.
"It's a very inexpensive way of spending a whole afternoon," said Ross Nelson. "We're within an hour from the Twin Cities. You don't have to travel way up north or go out west."
For canoeing and kayaking, Welch Mill offers a 5-mile or 12-mile trip which can take anywhere from one to four hours. A short tubing trip lasts about an hour, while the longer option takes up to 4-and-a half hours.

Fresh Hope For Grays To Return Home
By Non-League News	 April 13, 2017 No Comments
Grays Athletic are set to open talks about returning to the town after a seven-year absence.
Following relegation from the National League in 2010, the lease on their Recreation Ground expired having played there for 114 years.
Since then, The Blues have been on the road and currently playing home games at Aveley FC's Mill Field.
They've already suffered relegation from the Ryman Premier Division this season but have received a welcome boost today following news that there's a chance of a homecoming after the approval of a new free school.
The South West Essex Community Education Trust's application was given the green light to build the Orsett Heath Academy which included plans for sporting facilities to potentially house Grays.
The school is expected to open in September 2019.
A statement on the club's website read: "Grays Athletic Football Club welcome the recent confirmation that the SWECET application to build a new free school has been approved.
"We would like to pass on our congratulations to all involved and wish the Trust all the very best with the development of Orsett Heath Academy. We are sure that this new facility will be a fantastic new asset to the community.
"As documented in the SWECET brochure that explained their proposal, the possibility of Grays Athletic Football Club being part of the development at the proposed site, as part of a sports hub, has been discussed with the Local Authority and SWECET.
"Following this significant announcement from Government, the Club looks forward to meeting with the key people involved after the Easter break to further those discussions.
"A further statement will follow from the club in due course."

How well do they know the subject?
What do they need to hear to be convinced?
These can vary greatly, depending on the subject and particular situation.
Tell the audience upfront what you will tell them, tell them it, and then tell them what you have told them. Leave them with a handful of key messages at the end.
A good presentation tells a story and should be organised as such.
Anglo Saxons respond well to an order that poses a question, provides an answer, and then provides the analysis supporting the answer. They can get frustrated waiting too long to hear a conclusion.
Keep slide content relatively simple; diagrams/pictures can often be more powerful than words. Besides, if an audience is busy reading, they will not be listening to what you have to say.
When presenting, say something which clarifies/expands on what is presented on the screen. Nothing is more boring than listening to someone just reading out something they can read for themselves.
Appropriate use of humour can be a definite plus and help get the audience on your side from the outset.
If you know your subject well and are prepared for questions that might arise, you will appear relaxed and confident. This will make you even more convincing.
Of course, there is much more than this involved in developing and presenting a successful presentation, but following these guiding principles, in my view, will get you most of the way there.


Since 1998, the HEAROS High Fidelity Series has been an international best seller in the music community because it provides performance, comfort and protection to musician's most valuable asset…their hearing. Additionally, from a value standpoint, it provides the exact same ability to protect as other custom molded ear plugs that can cost ten times as much. The product is washable, reusable and can lost quite a long time with proper care. HEAROS offers 2 sizes and both come with the popular Pop case so you will always have your HEAROS either in your pocket, case or bag.
We'd like to share, from an audio perspective, as to what makes the HEAROS High Fidelity Series so unique and special. From a literal aspect, the term "ear plug" in the case of this product is a misnomer because this product facilitates what musician's want most…to hear all the highs and lows. You can hear the sounds you want naturally…it's almost as if you don't have ear plugs in your ears! The High Fidelity Series accomplishes this extraordinary feat through an engineering breakthrough called a "tuned resonator" in its core so that the sound waves remain unchanged when entering the ear. The technical term for how the tuned resonator is non impactful to the sound waves passing through the plug is called "flat attenuation". With regular foam and reusable ear plugs, sound waves are bent and thus the accuracy of what you actually hear is slightly different than what is occurring around you. With the HEAROS High Fidelity Series it is like you all of the sudden have the ability to turn the volume down at a concert or in a jam session and thus remaining in true high fidelity with the music. For this reason, the HEAROS High Fidelity Series has been one of the best selling musician's ear plugs since 1998.
There are two size available with the HEAROS High Fidelity Series, original and small for long term wear. You ought to know that like any ear plug it's personal preference related to comfort that will determine which one you enjoy best. The original is slightly larger than the small so if you should know that you have larger or smaller ear canals then you might have a sense for which one you wish to start with. The performance of both is identical. Both original and small come with our popular Pop case. We encourage you to keep your HEAROS in the case when not in use to ensure cleanliness and sanitary storage.
While we can describe online why the HEAROS High Fidelity Series is a breakthrough hearing protection product, it goes without saying that experiencing the ear plug first hand is mission critical. Once you insert the product in both ears you will notice the product works and feels instantly comfortable. If you've ever tried foam or reusable ear plugs, you will immediately recognize your ability to not only protect your hearing but hear all the highs and lows of the music you love.
So whether you're using the HEAROS High Fidelity Series for enjoying concerts, jam sessions or checking out a cool band at your favorite bar, you can have trust and confidence that you're using the best musician ear plugs in the market.
The HEAROS High Fidelity Series are available in two sizes: original and small for long term wear. Both sizes have been tested and certified to provide a Noise Reduction Rating of 12 decibels.
Since 1992, the HEAROS brand has been a trusted protector in hearing protection and noise reduction. HEAROS has sold more than 400 million pairs of ear plugs since its introduction as has been enjoyed by users of all ages for a variety of needs.
The HEAROS High Fidelity ear plugs should not be used sleeping, with a helmet or any activity where pressure could be applied to the stem.


Jim had to travel Monday and Tuesday of this week, and we really missed him. I realized all the help he offers me and fun he provides for Laura.
I have two more weeks of work and find myself at the beginning of a transition. While I thoroughly enjoy teaching and have the perfect job, it is the best decision for me to stay home.
Baby Miller #2 is a mover and a shaker! He/she is kicking, poking and tickling me all the time. It is truly amazing!
Since I've been feeling rather large lately, working out helps me keep up my self-esteem, even if I am much slower at it. I've also realized that being heavier makes everything so much more difficult (sleeping, walking, getting up out of a chair), and it motivates me never to allow myself to go to pot.
Speaking of working out, I'm ready for all the eager beavers who signed up in January to lose their steam. The parking lots and childcare at the gym are too crowded.
Laura has grown 1/2 of an inch in two months.
Any new observations in your life?
I'm so proud of you for continuing to work out during your pregnancy. I quit working out the second I found out I was!! ha!
I hear you on the crazy gym!! Give em two or three more weeks and they will be gone. The classes I teach have been packed to the brim...I applaud their efforts but it is hard to instruct!
Good job on keeping the move on. You will be so glad that you did!


You know those cute little lolli pop flowers?
Well we're going to take it a little further with hearts.
This is the perfect way to embellish with matching papers & to use up scraps.
Pick your card stock. You can pick 1 paper or a few.
If you hand cut them you don't have to follow sizes just make them one bigger than the last.
*You only need one set of each size to make a flower.
I did 2 sets of each size to make a second flower.
You can either let them dry or get a little messy!
Punch a hole in the pointed end of the hearts.
Pick your brad, I chose silver just because.
Stack the hearts from smallest on top to largest on bottom.
Put Brad through holes and secure.
Because I choose to do three sheets of hearts I was able to do 1 of each color in a solid flower and 3 that were all mixed up.
Lay out your flowers over paper towels and pray with water to moisten.
Start to mold your flowers with lefts and cripples to add texture.
You might have to moisten them more to mold the lower layers.
Flatten out for better use on Layouts and card or leave as a Bulb.
Let dry overnight before using is best.
~ Misting * Painting is optional.


Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have repurposed discarded apples to build cheap and high-performance sodium-ion batteries, making a green technology even greener. The advance could find use in grid storage and, after further development, compete with lithium-ion cells to power portable electronics and low-end electric cars.
Apples that are undersized, malformed or just unevenly colored are often rejected after harvest and go directly to waste, as they spoil too quickly to even be used as cattle feed. The team led by Prof. Stefano Passerini and Dr. Daniel Bucholz, however, has found a way to repurpose them by drying them out and exploiting their 95 percent carbon content to create "hard carbon," a cheap but high-performing electrode material.
Their carbon-based anode features a specific capacity of 230 mAh/g and showed little degradation even after 1,000 charge and discharge cycles. The electrode's coulombic efficiency, which measures how easily charge can travel through it, stabilized to a very high 99.1 percent.
In addition, the researchers also developed a high-performing, greener cathode for their battery. Stacking several layers of sodium oxides on top of each other, they obtained a material with comparable performance to lithium-ion cathodes but which retained 90.2 percent of charge after 600 cycles and featured an impressive coulombic efficiency of over 99.9 percent.
Lithium-ion batteries can squeeze plenty of energy in a small package, but they also pack expensive and hazardous materials such as cobalt. Sodium-ion batteries are on the other hand much cheaper, made from abundant and green materials, and are approaching the performance of their counterparts.
"[Sodium-ion batteries are] about 20 percent less performant than lithium for about 20 percent less cost on kWh basis," Passerini told Gizmag. "We like to think that new cathode materials may be developed performing as well as those for lithium-ion batteries. Sodium-ion batteries are not commercial, yet. However, hard carbon appears to be the most promising anode material because it's cheap."
Future uses for this sodium-ion battery technology could include grid storage (where cost, rather than size and weight, is the crucial factor) and even, Passerini tells us, personal electronics and low-end electric cars.
The advances were presented in the scientific journals ChemElectroChem and Advanced Energy Materials.


Our rubber ducks are available in different designs and patterns. Vinyl rubber ducks can be squeaky rubber ducks with a squeak hole, or they can be produced as race ducks with a metal weight. No matter if you want your rubber duck with a sound or as a race duck for duck races on rivers and lakes, there is always the right model in our squeakworld portfolio.
We can print logos and homepages on rubber ducks in order to make it the perfect advertising gift for companies and clubs. Rubber ducks with logo will catch the eye of your customers and they will never throw it away but keep it in their bathroom or on their desk.
Squeaky ducks have a squeak valve so when you squeeze them they will make a perfect sound. This is the classic version for all rubber ducks and it is the best selling advertising gift.
A squeakworld race duck has a special metal weight sealed into its bottom. So it can float easily on water. Race ducks can be printed with your company logo and with a race number.
If you want to have your own shape for a rubber duck the squeakworld team will manufacture it for you. There are 4 easy steps for a customized duck production. Here you will find more information about individual productions for individual rubber ducks and vinyl mascots.
A duck race mostly takes place on rivers or lakes. But duck races can also take place in swimming pools or outdoor water fun parks. A duck race is a positive marketing tool and there are many different ways to promote your company with the help of individualized race ducks.
The squeakworld squirt figures are a nice alternative to our rubber ducks. Squirt figures squirt water through a water hole and they cannot make any sound like squeaky bath ducks.

DANIEL LUBIN reviews Hommo at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre.
Multi-coloured toy guns and condoms; an erect punching-bag arranged between two boxing gloves; bullets and a toy ball. This garish array, glowing shrine-like at the back of the stage. presents a range of images mingling sex with violence, tinted with a comic innocence that perfectly captures the tone of Hommo. Posing physical against verbal expression in an exploration of masculinity and sexuality, Thomas Froy's piece of new writing is riddled with innuendo, balancing comedy with a deliberately prevalent and absurdist awkwardness – but at points it gets lost in its own ambiguity.
The narrative follows two men (played by Erik Alstad and Sam Ebner-Landy) as they discuss the killing and seduction of two women. Murder and dating are ambiguously aligned by sexualised descriptions of violence towards one woman, and violent descriptions of sex towards the other. Loud expressions of heterosexual masculinity are shown ultimately to be hollow facades – any boast is undermined by an inability to deliver, leaving the characters in a state of stifling discomfort. Ebner-Landy's character crudely interrogates the other about his sex life, enacting 'locker-room banter' with a smirk only to reveal moments later that he doesn't enjoy sex himself. Similarly, he later insists on giving the other character advice as to how to conduct the murder, but suddenly can't express himself and descends into a panicky waffle. Alstad also smugly asserts his immense 'experience' in murdering women but then recedes into cagey discomfort, and is taken aback by the sudden appearance of the gun. Language, in these moments, fails the characters, where earlier it is used as a tool to confidently assert themselves.
But these explicit expressions of masculinity only thinly veil an underlying homoerotic tension tightly woven into the crude innuendos that pervade the dialogue. When the toy gun is placed on the floor, both characters are disturbed by its intrusion, and its phallic implications emerge in their awkwardness as they describe it as 'big', 'heavy', and 'solid'. The transparency of their language is inevitably funny, but the play draws a serious contrast between the showy expressions of heterosexuality the men make and the homosexual desire that permeates the play, ever-present but only in metaphor and implication.

This tension in the characters grappling with verbal expressions of sexuality dissipates in the later dance/dream sequences. In the first of these, the actors strut around the edge of the set at a distinct distance, but as the routines indulge further in their homoeroticism, the staging captures a looser feel than the rigidly staged early scenes. A mimed gym routine is followed by an intensely sensual massage, and finally a Bond-esque spy role-play in which Alstad urgently pivots with his pistol held out. In these scenes the physical intimacy of the characters overrides the prevailing awkwardness. Through physical theatre, mime and dance set to music, homosexual desire is allowed to be openly and comfortably expressed in a way it wasn't before in language. After the sequence, the two lie against a wall exhausted and utterly relaxed. The script slyly blurs their conversation, so it is unclear as to whether it is the murder of the women or their own sexual consummation that has just been enacted. What is innuendo and what is reality is initially ambiguous.
But this conflation of homosexual discovery and femicide is potentially problematic. The three threads of homosexual desire, heterosexual masculinity and the play's treatment of women are tightly intertwined, but it would seem the last is really used only to bind together the first two. The woman is present merely as a symbol, to be the object of misogyny, and to be killed as a metaphor for homosexual awakening. Whilst the woman's role as pure symbol pacifies the conflation of femicide and homosexuality – were she a developed character it would be crueller – it also leaves her wholly objectified. The play seems to confuse its attitude towards women, since as we are obviously meant to scorn the men's crude sexism and objectification, the sexual empowerment at the end we are lead to support is inextricably tied to an act of flippantly violent misogyny.
Hommo does show the damaging effects of toxic masculinity, both in its inherent misogyny and in its effects on the male characters, bringing them obvious discomfort, and stunting their true expression of gender and sexuality. It shows that our society's model of masculinity can be difficult to navigate and restricts individual expression. Any message past this gets lost in the play's metaphors and absurdities, and the message that is conveyed is ultimately not substantial or nuanced enough to carry the play, despite the undeniable importance of the discourse raised.
Hommo ran from 16th-19th November. Find more information here.

In the grand history of the Earth, insects were among the first forms of life to make the leap from the oceanic fount of life to that unknown frontier on newly-formed land. And the "top dog" predator in this world of early insect walkers? None other than the oft-hated spider. And a new video (we've embedded Slate's take on it) has allowed this arachnid ancestor to show off its primordial ability to walk.
The gait of the long-extinct Paleocharinus was reconstructed based on computer modeling from paper-thin cross-sections of the creature's limbs, found in fossilized volcanic rock in Scotland. It crawled its way along the infant land during the Devonian Period—around 400 million years ago—and now it's crawling its way into our hearts via this computer reenactment. I mean don't you want to see where all those eight-legged pests currently spinning webs in your apartment got their start?
At its peak, this arachnid was even more widespread than spiders are today. Paleocharinus was likely an ambush predator, sneaking up on prey and pouncing. But the eventual decline of swampy forests, predation by more complex four-legged creatures and the rise of other species of spiders may have contributed to this specimen's ultimate demise.
But we salute the Paleocharinus for bravely venturing onto land, and into leg-based locomotive movement. After saying sayonara to the seas, terrestrial life has been thriving ever since.

Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron grosses impressive $187.7 million on opening weekend
Update: revised total is $191.3 Million.
The Avengers put up a good fight at the box office the weekend and brought home the second biggest domestic opener of all time at $187.7 million. The only people who could beat them were themselves, when they earned $207.4 million in 2012 with their first movie.
Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" opened on 4,276 screens and reach an audience that skewed young (41% were under 25) and male (59%).
Marvel's major competition may not have been at the box office this time. Instead a triple play of major sporting events (NBA Playoffs, Kentucky Derby, and Mayweather jr vs Pacquiao fight) probably kept them from competing for the record.
Disney's Marvel Studios now owns the top three opening box office weekends of all time with Avengers and its sequel in spots 1 and 2, and "Iron Man 3" finishing up the podium.
The only question now is how fast the new film will make it to $1 billion (and beyond). With 12 days of international play in its pocket it has already grossed $627 million. The mega box office potential of Japan and China are still in the future too.
Update: This weekend pushed Walt Disney Studios total box office over the $1 billion mark for 2015, will definitely pass $2 billion later this year.

When the Salt Lake City Tribune calls out a Republican, you can be assured the Republican is a POS.
Reports indicate that refugees at the U.S. southern border could reach the 1 million mark this year, and the Trump administration has no plan to address this crisis. No plan at all.
Other than to tell Mexico to solve the problem by intercepting these fearful, exhausted and impoverished people, and to close the door to any asylum seekers without respect to American law, this president has done nothing but rant about his own failures both privately and publicly.
...As the president stimulates and endorses internal and international unrest, he is simultaneously destabilizing his own government by side-stepping a Congress meant to provide checks and balances to his reign. Many of the senior posts within his administration remain unfilled, or when his act requires another contestant to administer his whims and take the blame for more failures, he appoints an "acting" chair, absolved of any public oversight via Senate confirmation.
These indicators of a failed and noxious presidency are there for all to see in the numerous, careening accounts that reach our subsequent awareness and conversations.
... it will take at least a year to review the cases of 47,000 unaccompanied children taken in custody between July 1, 2017 and June 25, 2018.
What hasn't Trump done that he should of?
That's a great opinion piece. I agree 110%. I could have written it myself.
I don't think the Dems should let Trump get away with blaming them for his failures. He's the President; it's his job to lead. He just can't get it done; he can't work with people. And I never thought I'd say it, but after watching the immigration situation explode under him, this situation could be heading towards some type of rupture.
Obama faced a very similar situation in 2014, but he worked with Congress and other nations to get a handle on it, stemming the tide & decreasing the numbers. Trump just seems to be making things worse, and the numbers keep going up. And now he wants to welcome illegals, busing them deeper into the country with taxpayer's funds?
The one question that remains is how long it will take American to recover from the rot and decay that is Trump.
There is no bottom to this **** hole.
Quick, she looks too happy. Cut her benefits!
Aside from the cruelty it takes to cut necessary funds from a disabled person's life because of a moment of activity, it seems willfully ignorant. Many in society already see disabled as "fakers" trying to take money from unsuspecting people, and this policy would only raise those tensions among the public. Disabled people are people, and as such, lead complex lives with ups and downs like the rest of the population. Relying upon a reductive narrative of disability is dangerous and will cost lives. Due to this, the administration should look inward and learn how to #BeBest.
Willful ignorance is synonymous with Trump, his team and his followers. So, there is certainly no surprise there.
Don't forget the corruption. Trump is President because he is making $$$ from his businesses like that DC hotel.
Do you mean should have?
The one prospect is the family in New York state prison for the crimes you mention. They would all look great in orange jump suits.
Lead. Work with Congress. Forge a deal.
He had a wall-for-DACA deal, but he threw it away. That would have been a great start to help stem the illegal crossing tide, and also do right by the DACA kids. And it perhaps more importantly would have been a great start to productive policy & legislative sessions with his new Congress. Instead he not only threw his best deal away, but he shutdown the government dashing any hopes of future Congressional assistance.
With Trump in office, there is no hope of substantive immigration reform, which is something the country really needs. If the Dems are smart, they'll run on immigration reform and let Trump's record on the matter stand for itself.


Just as I had each night before, I walked down the wide hall of the ancient building.
Every day for almost a month. Such a long one….
I'd thought I had wanted to help, but as my time there neared, relief slowly escaped my body.
Bit by bit. More so as the sun rose—preparing me for a new day.
Back at the university, I would ask my counselor for help with a new career path.
Trying desperately to look at the tiny medicine cups and avoid my periphery, I made my way along.
Not an easy task. The one squeaky wheel on my cart added to the chill in the air.
I couldn't help but look up. The screams and moans at my sides pierced straight through to my bones. The mumbled jargon.
The window was ahead. It helped me remember I wasn't stuck. In that place. With those people.
A few steps ahead, just under that same arched window, a perfect crescent moon reflected on the tile of the cruelly cold hospital.
Weren't these men tortured enough? The least that could be done was to create a comfortable atmosphere.
I neared the end—my duty just starting.
Taking a deep breath, I held it in while I grabbed the first cup.
All lined up in order. Room numbers scribbled in Sharpie on the side.
Letting the breath out, I slowly turned.
I walked up to the man, grateful I would only have to see his face three more times. Just three more shifts.
Or so I thought. People like that sear into your memory, whether you want them to or not.

Book Review: Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece
by Robin Waterfield
New York & Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014. Pp. xxiv, 288. Illus., maps., appned., notes, biblio., index. $27.95. ISBN: 0199916896
Why Were Romans Such Successful Conquerors?
Independent Classicist Waterfield takes a fresh look at Polybius's question about how the Romans could in 53 years bring "almost the entire world . . . under a single empire." The author of such works as Xenophon's Retreat, The Greek Myths, and Why Socrates Died, he gives us a lively chronological account integrating military, diplomatic, and political events from roughly 220 BC through the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC that finally ended Greek independence. This account builds on Polybius's answer to his own question, while adding greater depth by fitting these events into the broader framework of contemporary Roman interests (would "foreign policy" be too modern a term?).
As he does so, Warfield also brings into his narrative the effects of Rome's internal politics, financial management, military organization and reorganization, cultural changes, and offer quick looks at many individuals who helped shape the rise of the Republic or who tried to oppose it. He sees Roman interest in Greece and the wider Balkan region evolving from a desire to suppress piracy and support stability through several stages that culminated in what amounts to hegemony.
In keeping with recent scholarly trends Waterfield reminds us that the machinations and ambitions of the many Greeks states and rulers played a role in influencing Roman policy, a matter in the past often glossed over to portray them as mere victims of Rome's lust for conquest.
A volume in the Oxford series "Ancient Warfare and Civilization," Taken at the Flood will prove a good read for anyone interested in Roman history, and although written for the general reader, will prove useful even for the veteran student of the subject.
Note: Taken at the Flood is also available as an e-Book from several distributors

Q: How to create multiple pages from single json files in Gatsby I am new to node.js and react but I love gatsby.js. I have followed all the tutorials that I can find and it's such a great tool.
However one of the main reasons why I want to use it is I have a file json with 1000 different records in and I would like to generate a new page for each record.
I believe I have come to the conclusion that I need to learn more about the gatsby-node.js file and am aware of the following resource but are there any tutorials or other examples on this topic that maybe a little easier to follow:
https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/creating-and-modifying-pages/#creating-pages-in-gatsby-nodejs

A: The example you were referring to should already give you a good idea. The basic concept is to import the JSON file, loop over it and run createPage for each of the items in your JSON source. So given an example source file like:
pages.json
[{
  "page": "name-1"
}, {
  "page": "name-2"
}]

You can then use the Node API to create pages for each:
gatsby-node.js
const path = require('path');
const data = require('./pages.json');

exports.createPages = ({ boundActionCreators }) => {
  const { createPage } = boundActionCreators;

  // Your component that should be rendered for every item in JSON.
  const template = path.resolve(`src/template.js`);

  // Create pages for each JSON entry.
  data.forEach(({ page }) => {
    const path = page;

    createPage({
      path,
      component: template,

      // Send additional data to page from JSON (or query inside template)
      context: {
        path
      }
    });
  });
};

A rooftop entertaining area is an incredibly precious thing in Hong Kong. Most of the year the weather will be warm enough to enjoy it, and it will provide a much needed link with the outside world. Of course, unless you live on the outlying islands, it will almost always be surrounded by sky-high buildings. This isn't necessarily a bad thing however. The buildings will provide some barrier from strong gusts and it might even provide a great city backdrop for your evening soirees. So how do you go about making the most of your Hong Kong rooftop or terrace? Well, here at homify we have lots of ideas to get you started. So let's get going with 11 ideas for your Hong Kong rooftop.
This Hong Kong home has a great little private courtyard. The space has been simply furnished and has a great deal of sophisticated. The secret to its success lies in the strong lights hidden within the simple bamboo plants.
Outdoor furniture has to endure a huge amount of wear and tear. For a start, fabrics should always be weather and stain resistant. If you don't feel comfortable leaving furniture outside year round, invest in some huge colourful outdoor cushions. They create a sense of abundance without the accompanying hassle.
There is nothing worse than a cluttered rooftop. Chances are that you don't have a whole lot of space to store items inside anyway. Bench style seating like this is an obvious solution. It serves as a comfortable seat and had store space underneath as well.
A little portable fire is a great, low maintenance accessory for the rooftop. It's easy to clean and easy to maintain. It could even be stored indoors if needed.
Pit fires are the latest must-have accessory for the rooftop. The good thing about a pit fire is that it creates a focus for your social interactions. It might also be used for some casual grilling too.
Chances are that your rooftop has more wall space than floor space. The obvious solution is to build up the walls. This rooftop design takes things a step further by incorporating a little vege garden. It's the perfect antidote to the strain of living in a big city!
Wooden tiles add a lovely nature touch to any urban rooftop. They are particularly effective in a big cosmopolitan city like Hong Kong where there's a dearth of nature. They can get a little problematic when it comes to drainage points however. A good solution is a border of grey stones. It adds a nice sophisticated touch too.
Nothing quite beats the stress of work like a change of scenery. So perhaps you could install a simple portable balcony mounted desk space like this. It might help you create the perfect way to end your workday.
A soft green lawn is a beautiful thing to feel underneath your feet. As we can see here, a rooftop lawn can thrive in the most densely congested urban environments as well. Before considering something like this, you'll need to consider your drainage points and the weight of the soil on the roof.
This little rooftop entertaining space incorporates a good sturdy bench and some nice greenery. The secret here is the raised garden beds. They barely take up any space, but add a lovely private feel to the area.
The garden beds here are quite exposed to the elements. However, this isn't a problem because the plants are quite small and low. The most appealing thing about this rooftop garden design is the multilevel layout of the garden boxes and the slightly random design. It gives this otherwise bare rooftop a varying, natural quality.
For more outdoor entertaining ideas, have a look at 6 easy ways to shape your garden.
Do you have any more tips specific to life in Hong Kong?

Nissan Micra Cup in Canada | Collins Nissan St Catharines
celebrate the return of the Nissan Micra to Canada, a new racing series just
for the small car has been created. The Nissan Micra Cup is no longer something
from video games, it is an actual thing and it is going to be hitting racetracks
Nissan and
JD Motorsport have partnered up to deliver the Nissan Micra Cup from 2015. We
have known about the impending arrival of the series for a while now, but it's
only this month that we have any concrete details about it.
The series seeks
to show off the Nissan Micra while being an intermediate formula between
karting and full racing. It will use a Nissan Micra Cup edition which can be
bought for just under $20,000 CAD. That makes it a very accessible racing
series!
The Nissan
Micra Cup has the same 1.6-liter engine as the road going car which has 109 hp
and 107 lb-ft of torque. The same five-speed transmission will also feature.
Upgrades are mainly in the handing and safety department and are significant.
include NISMO tuned suspension, FIA-standard racing seat, fire extinguisher,
racing exhaust, Pirelli, race tires, roll cage, safety net, racing brakes and a
tow hook. Serious weight reduction will also form part of the Cup, although the
actual race weight has yet to be announced. Nissan said it will be
"surprising."
Meunier, president of Nissan Canada Inc. had this to say:
Micra Cup offers competitors the one of-a-kind opportunity to push the limits
and hit speeds they never thought they could behind the wheel of Canada's most
attainable vehicle, the Nissan Micra."
"Nissan's
heritage is intrinsically connected to motorsports and dates back to the
1930?s. Therefore, we are proud to return to our roots in such a unique way,
and in Canada! Through this collaboration with JD Motorsport Organization we
have developed a highly accessible and extremely fun series for the Canadian
motorsport enthusiast who has a dream to compete."
2015 race calendar, the Nissan Micra Cup will run entirely in Quebec, but plans
are afoot to expand coverage to more states as the series evolves.
how accessible the series is, we expect it to be very popular indeed. There
aren't many other formulas where you can buy a complete race prepared car for
under $20k!

The first game in the Zero Escape series, originally made as a standalone title "Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors". The Zero Escape rebranding and alternative cover of the game were released around the time of the Sequel "Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward". The game is a murder mystery visual novel with a heavy story focus that requires multiple playthroughs to figure out and involves puzzle rooms used to progress through the story with dialogue choices to be made inbetween them. The iOS version of the game removed the puzzle rooms to focus more on the visual novel aspects of the game. The puzzle rooms are replaced with narration of the events that take place instead. The iOS version of the game also has an exclusive ending. The game may be re-released on Windows and Playstation Vita.
"From somewhere far away, Junpei could hear the sound of metal squeaking. He felt his stomach tighten. There were a thousand things the sound could have been, but none of the things he could think of were good. In an attempt to distract himself, Junpei looked around the room once more. Set in the wall directly in front of him was a slightly dirty iron door. The first thing Junpei noticed about the door was the number roughly emblazoned across it. On the surface of the door, in red paint, someone had written... 5"

Ford F-MAX is International Truck of the Year 2019
bedrijfswagennieuws 19 september 2018 2 reacties Alex Miedema Ford F-MAX, Ford F-Vision, IAA 2018, Truck of the year

The new F-MAX was designed and tested by 500 Ford Otosan engineers over a 5-year period. Tests were carried out in 11 countries on 4 continents using 233 prototype units. This involved 15,500 hours of lab testing and 5 million kilometers of road testing.
"Ford Trucks has a very challenging promises. Saying "sharing the load" as a brand promise, we commit our self to understand customers' needs and share all kind of load that they might have." said Haydar Yenigün, CEO of Ford Otosan. "We developed our new tractor with Ford's principles of comfort, power, efficiency and technology at its heart. To ensure that the design guarantees the most, in terms of efficiency and practicality, we examined every part and every detail over and over again."
Comfort of home
The F-MAX offers comfort and luxury with its 2.5m-wide cab along with its modern design and driver-focused approach. The design of the cockpit-style dashboard ensures all functions are within easy reach. Even minor details are incorporated to enhance the pleasure of the driving experience. The sense of spaciousness in the cab is key.
The F-MAX provides all of this with its flat floor providing 2160mm of floor-to-ceiling height and 260 mm of seat adjustment. Furthermore, the F-MAX offers drivers very generous airplane-style patented storage, and an innovative and groundbreaking 90 degree foldable upper bed.

Power & Efficiency
Cost of ownership is a key factor for the new F-MAX. F-MAX covers the three areas of cost of ownership. Production and product development combined with increasing vertical integration give Ford Trucks a competitive edge in terms of its cost base.
The new F-MAX offers a high performance engine with 500PS, 2500Nm and 400 kW braking power. Superior aerodynamics, powertrain calibration and technical features also ensure outstanding performance in terms of fuel consumption with a 6% margin of improvement over previous models. Technical features include E-APU technology, eco-roll function, predictive cruise control (Max Cruise). Up to 7% reduced maintenance costs and long service intervals reduce the total cost of ownership. F-MAX's Ecotorq engine offers maximum performance and minimum fuel consumption under any road conditions.
12-speed ZF automated transmission and different drive modes such as Eco-Mode and Power-Mode help optimize fuel consumption. The new F-MAX is also empowered by a variable-geometry turbocharger, a water pump and compressor with multiple working speeds, 400 kW engine brake power which achieves 1000 KW total braking power with the optional intarder.
Ford Trucks offers a revolutionary technology ''ConnecTruck'' with the new F-MAX. ConnecTruck offers wide-ranging benefits. These include remote monitoring of the vehicle using remote diagnostic and over-the-air software. The special topographic map means that F-MAX is able to analyze road conditions, allowing the vehicle to drive at optimum speeds, thereby reducing fuel consumption by up to 4%. FMS Integration allows the ConnecTruck Module & Ford Trucks cloud to act as a data gateway for third-party fleet management systems to access selected vehicle data.
The F-MAX offers drivers invaluable assistance on the road thanks to features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Predictive Cruise Control (Max Cruise) with speed tolerance choices, Advanced Emergency Brake System, Hill Launch Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Adjustable Speed Limiter Device and Electronic Stability Control.

Control switches on the leather steering wheel allows the driver to navigate between cluster screens. Truck-specific embedded navigation, web link and Apple CarPlay implementation, Bluetooth connection functions are presented within the 7.2" LCD multimedia soft touch screen.
The F-MAX's spectacular headlight design illuminates the road more brightly, making sure nothing escapes the driver's line of vision. Attractively designed maneuver-assist lighting, LED daytime running lights and optional LED also enhance the vehicle's lighting features.
The Ford Trucks F-Vision Future Truck, fully electrically-powered concept truck
