CLEVELAND — Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant may be gone, but certainly, he is not forgotten in the sports world.
Days after Bryant, his daughter, Gianna, and seven others perished in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, Sunday, NBA teams and players have honored their fallen brother in several ways, and prior to tonight's game against the New Orleans Pelicans at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love donned a Bryant purple No. 8 Lakers jersey.
Love shared a picture of himself walking into the game on Instagram, and in just one hour, the photo received more than 70,000 likes.

Love and Bryant were teammates on Team USA when the Americans brought home the Olympic gold medal at the 2012 London Summer Olympics. Following the news of Bryant's passing, Love took to Instagram to share a personal message in the caption of a photo of the two standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the medal podium.
"I grew up with Kobe being one of if not my favorite player, so you automatically assume it can't happen to somebody like that," Love said prior to Monday's game between the Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons. "You believe that Kobe is invincible, so you hear it and it's confusing. It's disbelief, it's frustration, and then, that turns to tears and today, it's just numbness."

In 20 seasons with the Lakers, Bryant scored 33,643 points, pulled down 7,047 rebounds, handed out 6,306 assists, converted 44.7 percent of his 26,200 shots from the field and knocked down 1,827 three-pointers.
More than the numbers, Bryant's success can be measured by the five championship teams he was a part of and the tireless work ethic and competitiveness, both on and off the court that led him to leave the game as the No. 3 scorer in league history, only to be surpassed by former Cavaliers great LeBron James just hours before his passing.
Bryant left the game as a two-time NBA Finals MVP, the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player, an 18-time NBA All-Star, four-time NBA All-Star Game MVP, was selected to the All-NBA First Team 11 times and the NBA All-Defensive First Team on nine occasions.

Bryant was a two-time NBA scoring champion and winner of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 1997.
Bryant's jersey numbers, 8 and 24, have been retired by the Lakers, cementing his place among the greatest basketball players in NBA history.
"He just so much more than a basketball player to so many," Love said. "He transcended the sport, transcended the game and he's an icon. He brought the game to where it is today and for people who grew up with (Michael) Jordan, he was the next phase. He was 2.0.
"It breaks all of our hearts, myself who got to know him firsthand, become a friend of his, share the court with him in All-Star games and the 2012 Olympics, not only seeing him as a basketball player but as a father as well. It's a guy that was likely going to do more, and that's saying a lot in his second act."

Hungary's Purchasing Managers Index falls to 53.8 in September
Hungarian chocolate wonder chosen as the best bonbon of the world
Alpár Kató
Hungary's seasonally-adjusted Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) fell to 53.8 points in September from a revised 56.0 points in August, the association that compiles the index, said on Monday.
In its original data release on September 3, Halpim said the PMI was at 53.2 points in August but it revised the figure slightly downwards in the Monday release.
An index value above 50 shows expansion in the manufacturing sector, while a value under 50 signals contraction.
In September among the sub-indices that comprise the PMI, the production volume index was down from August but stayed above the 50 mark now for the 37th month in a row.

The new orders index also fell but stayed above 50 points, showing an expansion of new orders. The current figure was above average.
Delivery times were longer than in August and the sub-index was below 50 now for the 11th month in a row.
Purchased stocks showed expansion, albeit very slightly, after contracting in August for the first time after a long period.
The employment sub-index rose for the second time after two months running. read more news about labour market HERE.

There is a 2 minute (or so) section in the song "Bleak" (starting around the 5:45 mark) that is absolutely INSANE. Holy fucking shit.

Was turned on to Opeth thru a forum for speakers I bought (Aperion). Bought their entire catalog. Seen them on west coast several times-They are very approachable for a band of their status. Axenrot was at Wal Mart in Reno buying plastic containers for the albums they take on the road while touring. Opeth is proof that A band can change members and still regularly put out quality albums-10?
The DVD Rehearsal Tapes from Watershed gives great insite of the band members and songs on the album. Martin Mendez says he learns more from Akerfeldt than music instructors.
I'm gonna listen to the 'Boss Picks' in order suggested. Is that like a 'Dick's Picks' of the Grateful Dead?

Speaking of Opeth, I have to add them to the 'bands you're supposed to like but don't' thread'. My ex always used to say, "how can you like Tool and not like Opeth?"
Their solos never go anywhere - soft cock prog mixed with Latin influences (nothing against Latinos)..Ugghh...
The vocals are terrible too - once nasally soft and in a split second growling like a dog. Make up your mind fuckhead?

Metal Injection has a track-by-track review of Opeth's new album. It sounds awesome! I'm definitely adding it to my most anticipated albums of 2014 list.
I've been chomping at the bit to hear the new Opeth record ever since frontman and guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt started talking about it later on in 2013. As a general statement, I liked Heritage but I thought it could've been a little more focused at times. So when Åkerfeldt said the new stuff would be heavier and "all over the place," I was simultaneously concerned and very interested. Where the hell could this new record go that would really, truly shock fans at this point? Well now I can tell you.
So here's how this is going to work…
The record has no name and the songs have no titles, so each song I'm going to title as the numbered track with the track length next to it. This way when the record comes out we'll at least know which songs I was referring to.
The songs are also apparently not "sequenced," which is an industry term for them not being in the final order for the album, so I'm going to leave the flow from song to song out of this review.
I'm going to go track by track here and then make a statement at the end about the record overall. Think of that last part as a straightforward review.
Oh, and there's no growls or death metal vocals on this record. So if you're going to skim this review for any mention of them, save your time and go read something else.
So let's get to reviewin' us some new Opeth (that is probably out this June), yeah?
If you would have told me this was a lost track written between Ghost Reveries and Damnation I wouldn't have even questioned it. The song kicks off with some organ and drum runs that settle into a little groove, another distant keyboard that sounds like a mix between strings and a theremin joins in and then everything explodes into the full band. The song sticks with the Ghost Reveries groove-vibe for a little and then calms down into Damnation pianos and mellotrons with the classic clean-toned droning guitar over top. Vocals come in around three-minutes and they're really layered over top what feels like a beefier version of the first section. Think Heritage with teeth. There's a killer guitar solo and then right before it's all over, there's a really interesting instrumental section that's a little shreddier than anything Opeth have done up to now. Not shreddy as in wanky, but this big full-band unison thing going on that's just really cool. Then a string section and organ fade the song out.
The track opens with an oscillating noise that sounds like an effected guitar and underneath comes this big, full band groove. I mean one seriously fat motherfucker of a riff. "Track Two" is a lot less progressively influenced than "Track One." There's a few verses, a chorus, a guitar solo and a few little four-or-eight-bar runs between the sections. Where the song lacks in progressive grandiosity, it makes up for by being a straight up headbanger. You know how when "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen comes on and there's that one part everyone head bangs to? This whole song is like that. One of the best moments is the guitar solo, not only because it just rips like mad, but because there's this punctuated, stop-and-go riff underneath that absolutely demands a foot tap at the very least. I would not suggest listening to this song in public because you're going to be forced to react to it in some capacity.
Track Three (10:53)
"Track Three" is one of those songs where you don't even realize eleven minutes has passed because you're enjoying the music so much. It's a really, really intense sounding song. I'm not precisely sure what makes it so sinister but there's a lot going on instrumentally that melds, yet clashes, in a really interesting way. The song evokes feelings of dread, like something bad that's about to happen any second now… it's coming for you. In my notes I wrote "4:40 is downright evil," and upon a second listen I was dead on with that. There's some back-masked vocals, sounds of something distant clattering and foggy keyboards. Whatever the dread being evoked before was for, it's there in that moment. Then out of the blue the song cuts to a vocals-only section followed closely by xylophones and acoustic guitars. Or at least for that section that goes until about 6:50 where the first section's mood gets revisited and slowly evolves into a mournful major key.
Vocals play a huge part in this song with their layering and general prominence, but that seems to be the story of this album so far.
It's hard not to compare this track to something off Damnation. Åkerfeldt croons "I don't want to bear my scars for you," acoustic guitars caress your ears with cold, bony fingers, a mellotron quietly plays a muted string patch in the background and the rhythm section tries to keep it as quiet as possible. The reliance on acoustic guitars in this one is strong, and it's such a simple chord progression that carries the song… but the structure around it is just beyond bleak mood-wise. If there were ever a song one could name as "the darkest" song Opeth have ever written, this one is a contender. "Track Four" is a testament to the band's ability to write heavy music without really incorporating any instruments that convey "heavy." This one weighs on the mind.
Track Five (4:32)
For what it's worth, this is a sick instrumental that strips away a lot of the instrumentation used throughout the rest of the record. This is Opeth doing Opeth without the aid of vocals, so the determination of song quality lies solely in the riffs. Which are delivered in abundance. The intro also sounds like it might be a fade in from another song, though if this one ends up being a standalone thing I'm not sure anyone is going to complain. The focus of half the instrumental is a phased, swirling, palm-muted guitar line that pokes through like a thousand dull pin pricks, letting tiny streams of light come through the foundations laid by the rest of the band. The other half is just a monster riff fest.
Track Six (7:31)
After listening to this album maybe five or six times in one day (particularly yesterday), I still cannot believe this song is Opeth. "Track Six" is Opeth doing an emulation of 1970's pop-meets-rock in such a way where it's still identifiably them. Like, if this song cut out a few sections and was performed by a band like Boston or Bachman Turner Overdrive, nobody would even question it. Even the guitar solo and instrumental sections wear the influence on their sleeves. This is also one of my favorite songs off the record. Some of it is going to get stuck in your head forever, some of it is going to open your eyes to an entirely new side of Opeth that you didn't know you wanted until the first time you've heard it and all of it is going to blow you right the hell away.
"Musical boundaries? What musical boundaries?"
Track Seven (7:47)
Here's another song where Opeth take a bit of a detour from what you might expect. Reliance on guitars and keyboards might be a mainstay for the group, but what about the lower family of strings? I'm talking about upright basses and cellos chugging along with their raspy voices while Åkerfeldt sings over top of them with the occasional keyboard flourish. If anything, "Track Seven" sounds like it should be in the soundtrack to a movie. The song also boasts one of my favorite endings to a song so far (until you get to "Track Eight," as I've found out). As the song grows in intensity and the throaty strings reach monolithic proportions in all frequencies, Åkerfeldt simply asks "have you ever seen the aftermath of giving up?" Boom. The last minute of the song is just a rhodes keyboard and talk of giving up in the winter. If this song really is about dying and giving up, then the conveyance of that mood or final moments is nailed.
Track Eight (8:02)
"Track Eight" would work really well as the closer to the record or as a palette cleanser between the bigger, heavier songs. I've made the comparison before in this review, but this song happens to also sound like a much bigger rendition of something that was on Damnation. The addition of a much more present string section, big choirs, slightly distorted guitars, the string section, the string section, the string section… did I mention how the string section makes this song? Because it does. It's a present element through the track, disappears for a little while some acoustic guitars take over with ghostly electric guitars and a piano, and then comes back in a big way. Or at least for the last minute when it's just strings and some vocals. It's such a mournful, sorrow-drenched arrangement that as the last notes play your heart almost wants to go with it. There's just this underlying sadness to it like you're walking about out your best friend's funeral. Whatever follows this song has to hit hard immediately, and if this really is the end of the record… wow. Wow. Wow. WOW. PERFECT ENDING. Seriously, you're going to hear the last three minutes of this song and never be able to look at another song the same way again. Prepare to have your heart torn in two.
Honestly? This is the best record Opeth have put out since Ghost Reveries. The band continues their tradition of not repeating themselves but in a much better, more accessible way than they have in the past. The melodies and riffs from each song are instantly identifiable as that particular song, the new elements incorporated into the music fit extremely well and it seems like the record was written with each separate song in mind. As in it doesn't sound like any particular song revolves around one singular instrument or riff, but has everything beautifully play off each other. Where Heritage and Watershed may have been a little unfocused at time or lost in their own adventure of a new song, this record knows exactly what it's doing and nails it through and through. I'll even go as far as saying this record conveys the widest range of emotions I think I've ever heard Opeth convey, and with unbelievable grace and style. Absolutely none of the writing is heavy-handed in trying to get a point across.
As a point of reference, I'd say this record is either the missing link between Damnation and Ghost Reveries or if Heritage was written directly after Ghost Reveries without Watershed having ever existed. You get the idea.
So hey, Opeth. If any of you are reading this- thanks. You've written one of my favorite records of 2014. If not my favorite record of 2014.
If not my favorite record of the last few years.

Q: Let $f_n,g_1,g_2$ be such that for some $r_1,r_2>0$, $\int |f_n-g_1|^{r_1}\to 0$ and $\int |f_n-g_2|^{r_2}\to 0$. Is it true that $g_1=g_2$ ae?
Let $f_n,g_1,g_2$ be such that for some $r_1,r_2>0$, $\int |f_n-g_1|^{r_1}\to 0$ and $\int |f_n-g_2|^{r_2}\to 0$. Is it true that $g_1=g_2$ ae?

I think the answer should be yes. Here's my argument: Let $E=\{x: g_1(x)\neq g_2(x)\}$. Let us assume that $\mu(E)>0$. Then there exists an $\epsilon>0$ such that the measure of the set $\{x:|g_1(x)-g_2(x)|>\epsilon\}$ is greater than $0$. Let this set be $E'$, and let $\mu(E')=\delta$.
Part 1: As $\int |f_n-g_1|^{r_1}\to 0$, by Chebyshev inequality, the measure of the set $\{x:|f_n-g_1(x)|>\epsilon/3\}\leq \frac{3}{\epsilon} \int |f_n-g_1|^{r_1}$. For some $N\in\Bbb{N}$, if $m\geq N$, then $\frac{3}{\epsilon} \int |f_n-g_1|^{r_1}< \frac{\delta}{4}$. Hence, $\{x: |f_n(x)-g_1(x)|>\epsilon/3\}<\frac{\delta}{4}$.
Part 2: Similarly, as $\int |f_n-g_2|^{r_2}\to 0$, there exists $N'\in\Bbb{N}$ such that for $m\geq N'$, we have $\{x:|f_m-g_2(x)|>\epsilon/3\}<\frac{\delta}{4}$.
Let us now focus on $E'$ again. This is the set of points such that $|g_1(x)-g_2(x)|>\epsilon$. Also, $\mu(E')=\delta$. However, for at least a $\frac{3\delta}{4}$ subset of $E'$, $f_n(x)$ should stay within an $\epsilon/3$ neighborhood of $g_1(x)$, and the same goes goes for $g_2(x)$. We get this from Parts 1 and 2 respectively. Hence, at least for a $\delta/2$ subset of $E'$, $f_n(x)$ must be within both the $\epsilon/3$ neighborhood of $g_1$, and the $\epsilon/3$ neighborhood of $g_2$. This is impossible, as the $2$ neighborhoods are disjoint.
Is this argument correct?

A: I didn't read your proof, but it looks very complicate for such an easy proof.
If $f_n\to g_1$ in $L^{r_1}(\mathbb R)$, there is a subsequence $(f_{n_k})_k$ that converge a.e. to $g_1$. Same, since $f_n\to g_2$ in $L^{r_2}(\mathbb R)$, then so is $(f_{n_k})_k$. And thus, there is a subsequence $(f_{n_{k_j}})_j$ that converge a.e. to $g_2$. Finally, we get $g_1=g_2$ a.e.

Technology refers to the collection of tools that make it easier to use, create, manage and exchange information.
In the earlier times, the use of tools by human beings was for the process of discovery and evolution. Tools remained the same for a long time in the earlier part of the history of mankind but it was also the complex human behaviors and tools of this era that modern language began as believed by many archeologists.

Becoming a United States Citizen begins with first acquiring Legal Permanent Status aka Green Card status. To do this you must be eligible through either work or a family based petition. In this article I will explain eligibility and the timeline in applying for a green card.
For this article let's pretend you are a current green card holder and you are trying to bring your daughter from your home country.
The first step is to figure out which category your daughter fits in. You are currently a Permanent Resident and depending if your daughter is over 21 or under 21 will affect her wait time. Let say she is currently under 21 and unmarried then she will fall under F2A category. If she is over 21 or married she will be F2B. Also if you ever decide to become a US citizen then she will become F1.
Once you know which category you are you just need to look at the Visa bulletin. This is a bulletin that is updated every month with expected wait times therefore you should check the current visa bulletin to get accurate wait times. Unless you are one of those specific countries listed you can just look at the dates under "All chargeability area".
Find the category your daughter would fit it and look at the date. That is the date they are currently honoring/awarding green cards to. So for example, if your daughter is under 21 and unmarried, she is F2A. Which means had you applied for her on October 22, 2015 then it is ready to be issued. Unfortunately if you do decide to become a citizen she would jump to F1 and the wait would be much longer.
Now that you know if you are eligible and the approximate wait times you can begin your green card process. Please contact us if you have any questions or if you want to start your application.

If you find yourself concerned about the health of your unborn baby, Amniocentesis can provide peace of mind. Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic procedure used to detect (or far more likely, to rule out) the presence of certain chromosomal anomalies in the fetus you are carrying. This test is performed during the second trimester of the pregnancy (between the 15th and 22nd week), generally during the 16th week.
Abdominal puncture to extract some amniotic fluid.
Laboratory culture of the fetal cells present in the sample of amniotic fluid followed by the analysis of chromosomes.
The first stage of the procedure only takes a few minutes. The laboratory stage can take 7 to 12 days. This timeframe is a general rule, but can sometimes increase. Several studies conducted worldwide have shown that ultrasound guided amniocentesis is safe for both the mother and her baby. There is however, a 0.5 to 1% risk of maternal infection and miscarriage (1).
Who is a candidate for amniocentesis?
Any pregnant woman who, at her due date, will be 40 years of age or older (2).
Any woman whose Combitest® screen results are high risk (blood tests and/or fetal ultrasound).
Any woman whose ultrasound results indicate a potential fetal chromosomal anomaly.
Any woman who has a family history or whose partner has a family history of one or more incidents of chromosomal anomalies or genetic disorders with a high recurrence risk.
It is also possible for women under the age of 40, with no history of genetic disorder to have an amniocentesis; it is a matter of personal choice.
Please note that a medical referral is always required. Speak with your physician to learn if an amniocentesis procedure is right for you, and available at your Procrea Fertility location.

Home Interviews Katie Cole interview (Smashing Pumpkins touring member)

Katie Cole interview (Smashing Pumpkins touring member)
Smashing Pumpkins' touring member Katie Cole is not only living THE dream; she is living HER dream. Or, perhaps, something beyond her wildest dreams? After laying the groundwork of countless hours, days, weeks, and years honing her craft, a move from her native Australia to Los Angeles, followed another move from Los Angeles to Nashville; sprinkle in a twist of fate; Cole landed herself what she believed to be a one-off gig with Smashing Pumpkins' frontman Billy Corgan at one of his solo shows.
Fast forward to 2015, Cole was on the road with the Smashing Pumpkins 'In Plain Song' tour, playing bass for the band AND opening the show solo with her beautiful blend of Americana tunes.
"I play bass as much as much as the next solo guitarist. I explained to other people that bass has two less strings, so, therefore, it must be easier," Cole said with a laugh. "I did sort of the double-duty thing where I did my show, bolted out to the stands/merch area, high-fived people, signed albums or whatever, and then bolted back to the stage to play their show."
Fast forward once again to last summer: Original Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha returns, shifting Corgan's longtime employee (and official band member) Jeff Schroeder, with Jack Bates jumping on to play bass. Yet, Cole still got the call, this time to play keys for the band on SP's arena tour. The tour garnered tons of attention, as it was a 3/4 reunion (minus D'arcy Wretzky, who is likely still chasing horses in Watervliet, Michigan)
Let us press the fast forward button one more time! Katie is STILL on the road with Smashing Pumpkins in her keyboard role on this 2019 summer tour.
This interviewer couldn't help but inquire about the burning question: How does one obtain this highly coveted gig? In my mind, Katie strolled into the unemployment office in Nashville, filled out a mountain of paperwork, and some schlub working the counter told her Billy and Co. were looking for someone to play bass and chime in on vocals.
"That's exactly how it happened," Cole joked. "I had actually had numerous people ask me this, especially other touring musicians have asked me, 'How did this come about?' It is a prestigious gig. It's a very elite position to be in. And, you can imagine that's not something that the band would publicly announce, 'We're looking for this, that, or the other.' I had a long-running relationship with the band, more so with Billy Cogan. My record producer is one of their record producers, Howard Willing. He worked with the band since the Machina and Adore records. He has a long history with the band. So Billy sort of knew my music through that association and the relationship sort of kicked off with Billy asking me about the first show," she explained.
Imagine, a gal from Australia, who grew up listening to Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder, eventually progressing to playing Smashing Pumpkins covers in alt-rock bands, is now a touring member of one of her favorite bands. How does that feel, Katie?
"I can't really explain it! The crazy feeling that you get from being on these iconic stages… like the 'In Plain Song' tour we were doing these iconic theaters like the Ryman and the Tower Theater in Philadelphia, where some of my favorite artists have been and cut their teeth and grown their fandom, and to then go on to the arena tour and playing Wembley Stadium and Madison Square Garden… Like, who knew? I feel that way every time I step out on stage and I'm like, 'what do I get to do today?'" Cole said. "You try not to, for lack of a better term, 'fangirl!' I'm from Australia and these people that I've really looked up to as musicians or songwriters, they are just right there in front of you. 'Hi, Robert Smith!' 'Hi, Jerry Cantrell!' You have those moments where I look and I'm like, 'Wow!' I'm very overwhelmed but I'm just super lucky to be where I am."
So, yes, we know her name…we know how she got her gig..but who is she outside of her role with Smashing Pumpkins? That's a bit of a loaded question!
While Australia is a great place for residents and tourists alike, logistically speaking, it's not a hot touring spot for American artists. Cole knew she found a new 'home' when she visited Nashville to record what would become her first American EP.
"I went into a major recording studio and Tracy chapman was down the hall and Michelle Branch was down the hall, it's a lot different than Australia, where it's a luxury to have big names even travel to Australia for concerts, so to know that I was in a city where all the sort of you know acclaimed artists and musicians and studios were,it was great," Cole recalled.
My genre is a lot different. The fans know that but they don't care. They just see it as great musicianship and they enjoy it anyway. It's been really supported.

Nigel Adkins refuses to discuss David Milinkovic after axing the winger from his Hull City squad

Get the latest Hull City news straight to your inbox with our daily Tigers newsletter
Nigel Adkins refused to discuss the future of David Milinkovic after the Hull City winger was left out of the squad for arriving late to the KCOM Stadium tonight.
Milinkovic was due to be named on the bench for the first time since August, with his shirt among those hung up in the City dressing room ahead of kick-off.
It is understood the Frenchman then turned up after the scheduled arrival time for City's first team squad, leading Adkins to again omit Milinkovic from his 18-man squad.
City's head coach declined to answer direct questions on the 24-year-old after the 0-0 draw with Norwich but, perhaps tellingly, highlighted the need for discipline across his squad.

"I want to talk about the players who work extremely hard," said Adkins. "We have a squad of players who work extremely hard and for tonight I just want to talk about the players who have shown great commitment to the cause.
"I want David to do well. I've talked to him and discipline is a big thing we have at our club, organisation, structure. I want David to do well and I'm sure at some stage he will do."

Asked if Milinkovic lacked discipline, Adkins added: "You're putting words into my mouth that I don't want to talk about tonight."
Milinkovic has endured a nightmare start to life at the KCOM Stadium and is still waiting to make his full debut five months after his summer arrival from Genoa.

The winger last played in the EFL Cup defeat to Derby at the end of August and last month was shown a straight red card when turning out for the club's under-23s at the KCOM Stadium.
Adkins, who praised the efforts of his team after holding league-leaders Norwich, added: "I've got values at the club where the team is the most important thing. There's got to be a willingness to work hard and improve the team."

Chiropractic care unlocks limitless potential for better health that extends far beyond neck and back relief.
Science and research regularly proves and strengthens the case that Chiropractic care provides a more safe and effective approach to resolving back and neck pain than medication. A 2005 study proved that Chiropractic care reduced spinal pain five times more effectively than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers.

The interval in seconds over which the data is sampled and compared with the rising and falling thresholds. When setting this variable, care should be taken in the case of deltaValue sampling - the interval should be set short enough that the sampled variable is very unlikely to increase or decrease by more than 2^31 - 1 during a single sampling interval. This object may not be modified if the associated alarmStatus object is equal to valid(1).
The object identifier of the particular variable to be sampled. Only variables that resolve to an ASN.1 primitive type of INTEGER (INTEGER, Integer32, Counter32, Counter64, Gauge, or TimeTicks) may be sampled. Because SNMP access control is articulated entirely in terms of the contents of MIB views, no access control mechanism exists that can restrict the value of this object to identify only those objects that exist in a particular MIB view. Because there is thus no acceptable means of restricting the read access that could be obtained through the alarm mechanism, the probe must only grant write access to this object in those views that have read access to all objects on the probe. During a set operation, if the supplied variable name is not available in the selected MIB view, a badValue error must be returned. If at any time the variable name of an established alarmEntry is no longer available in the selected MIB view, the probe must change the status of this alarmEntry to invalid(4). This object may not be modified if the associated alarmStatus object is equal to valid(1).
The method of sampling the selected variable and calculating the value to be compared against the thresholds. If the value of this object is absoluteValue(1), the value of the selected variable will be compared directly with the thresholds at the end of the sampling interval. If the value of this object is deltaValue(2), the value of the selected variable at the last sample will be subtracted from the current value, and the difference compared with the thresholds. This object may not be modified if the associated alarmStatus object is equal to valid(1).
The alarm that may be sent when this entry is first set to valid. If the first sample after this entry becomes valid is greater than or equal to the risingThreshold and alarmStartupAlarm is equal to risingAlarm(1) or risingOrFallingAlarm(3), then a single rising alarm will be generated. If the first sample after this entry becomes valid is less than or equal to the fallingThreshold and alarmStartupAlarm is equal to fallingAlarm(2) or risingOrFallingAlarm(3), then a single falling alarm will be generated. This object may not be modified if the associated alarmStatus object is equal to valid(1).
A threshold for the sampled statistic. When the current sampled value is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was less than this threshold, a single event will be generated. A single event will also be generated if the first sample after this entry becomes valid is greater than or equal to this threshold and the associated alarmStartupAlarm is equal to risingAlarm(1) or risingOrFallingAlarm(3). After a rising event is generated, another such event will not be generated until the sampled value falls below this threshold and reaches the alarmFallingThreshold. This object may not be modified if the associated alarmStatus object is equal to valid(1).

When the current sampled value is less than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was greater than this threshold, a single event will be generated.

This object may not be modified if the associated alarmStatus object is equal to valid(1).
The index of the eventEntry that is used when a rising threshold is crossed. The eventEntry identified by a particular value of this index is the same as identified by the same value of the eventIndex object. If there is no corresponding entry in the eventTable, then no association exists. In particular, if this value is zero, no associated event will be generated, as zero is not a valid event index.

Parafia Trójcy Świętej w Bierawie – parafia rzymskokatolicka należąca do dekanatu Kędzierzyn diecezji opolskiej w metropolii katowickiej, która została erygowana w 1915. Kościół parafialny zbudowany w drugiej połowie XVI wieku mieści się przy ulicy Kościelnej 3.

Historia parafii
Ze źródeł historycznych wiadomo, że wieś Bierawa poświadczona jest w dokumentach w 1308. W związku z rozwojem osadnictwa i stopniowym powiększaniem się ludności wsi i okolic zaistniała potrzeba posługi duchowej i wybudowania kościoła, a tym samym powołania parafii. Przypuszcza się, że w średniowieczu wybudowano w Bierawie kościół. Ponadto wiadomo, że w drugiej połowie XVI wieku z fundacji Piotra Dluhomina (jego płyta nagrobna wbudowana jest za ołtarzem głównym) wybudowano obecny kościół (poświadczony w 1562), wówczas jako protestancki w stylu późnego renesansu. W 1639 przejęli go katolicy, a kościół stał się wówczas kościołem filialnym parafii św. Jana Nepomucena w Starym Koźlu. W 1906 ustanowiono w Bierawie kurację (lokalię) z przynależnym duszpasterzem. 9 grudnia 1915 erygowano parafię pod wezwaniem Trójcy Świętej przez najprawdopodobniej bp. Adolfa Bertrama.

W latach 1984–1987 w pobliskim Lubieszowie wybudowano dla tamtejszych wiernych filialny kościół Matki Bożej Wspomożenia Wiernych. W obrębie parafii znajduje się również kaplica św. Józefa na Korzonku. Ponadto na terytorium parafii znajduje się drewniana kapliczka św. Jana Nepomucena w Lubieszowie z XIX wieku oraz przykościelna kamienna grota z figurami Matki Bożej, św. Antoniego Padewskiego i św. Stanisława Kostki. Parafia liczy około 2000 wiernych.

Activity.You need not restrict your activities except for your comfort. You may drive when you are no longer taking prescription pain medications and can move your arms without hesitation. In general, there is no need to favor the arm on the side of the mastectomy; you may use it for your normal daily activities Do not begin the shoulder exercises until instructed by the doctor.
Wound care. You may remove the outer bandage the day after surgery and shower. There are skin staples which will be removed in about one week. There is no need to place a fresh bandage on the wound unless there is drainage or if your clothing rubs against the incision causing irritation. You may want to keep a bandage over where the drains come out. Do not immerse the incision underwater until approved by the doctor.
Drain care. There are 2 small silicone drains which drain out the fluid which accumulates in the surgical area. The drains will stay in place anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks. The nurses in the hospital will show you how to measure and empty the drainage. Record the amount of drainage that empties into each squeeze bottle on a daily basis,using the form to write down the date, time, and the amount. Try to do the measurements at the same times each day. The doctor uses this information to determine when it is safe to remove the drains.
Follow-up. Call the office when you get home for an appointment about 3 days after surgery to check the wound and to examine the drainage. Bring the record of drainage along with you.


On a recent trip to hubby's home town, Arezzo, in the beautiful region of Tuscany, to visit Mamma and Babbo (aka the best in-laws a girl could ask for), I made some quinoa for one of our dinners. Since my diet is "strana" for the average Italian, mamma is often at a loss of how to feed me, so we've taken to cooking together to make things easier.
She usually calls us while we're in the car on the way down and takes an inventory of the ingredients she needs to pick up for our visit and then heads out to the supermarket to get it all. She's even managed to find a small organic alternative supermarket that carries all the ingredients I eat which you wouldn't normally find in the average Italian supermarket (malts, miso, etc…).
For our meals this past trip, we made kamut pasta with green bean pesto and brown rice saffron risotto (both recipes coming soon). They opted for take out pizza from a local pizzeria on Saturday night, and I decided to whip up my 5 ingredient cannellini bean spread, some water sauteed radicchio and some quinoa, which I folded into a yeast free kamut wrap.
Don't get me wrong, I love pizza as much as the next person, but I wasn't in the mood, as my options at this particular pizzeria were limited to marinara and I really need to limit my in take of tomatoes (and nightshades in general) which I had had once already that week.
We sat down for dinner, them with their pizze and me with my wrap. Hubby had a bit of quinoa and babbo dug into the cannellini bean spread, which he loved, but mamma was happy to stick to her pizza while exhibiting some curiosity about the quinoa, but refraining from giving it a try.
We returned to Milan on Sunday evening, leaving the leftover quinoa behind. A few days later, mamma called to tell me she ate the leftovers and loved it, and she asked for directions on how to prepare it. She's been trying to incorporate more whole grains into her diet, and was happy to discover that she digests quinoa much easier than brown rice and wants to make it again.
So, here are the directions I gave mamma.
Quinoa is a wholesome and flavourful ancient pseudograin that has a wonderful nutty flavour in addition to many benefits. It's easy to prepare, very versatile, extremely nutrient rich and a good source of zinc, folate and vegetable based protein due its high concentration of amino acids. Quinoa also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients and is naturally gluten-free. It also comes in a variety of colours from white to black.
Soak the quinoa in cold water and swish it around with your hand until a soapy residue rises to the surface. Thoroughly rinse quinoa about 3 times until it stops making a soapy residue. This residue is called saponin which is a substance that covers the quinoa and makes it bitter if not rinsed off completely. Drain and let drip for a couple of minutes.
Add damp quinoa to a pot, and toast over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to pop and dry out.
Add water or broth (1 1/2 – 1 3/4 parts water for 1 part quinoa) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until cooked.
Serve with your favourite veggies and/or protein and enjoy.
Here's a quick and easy recipe to try out with Quinoa, and if this doesn't tickle your fancy, you can try these other ones.
Cook the quinoa according to the 3 step directions above.
Heat sesame oil in a pan, add yellow onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until translucent about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic an sauté for a another minute.
Add tofu, cabbage, soy sauce and lime juice, toss to combine and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Add arugula, toss to combine and sauté for another minute or two until slightly wilted.
Serve stirfry over a bed of prepared red quinoa.

America's first postwar convertible sedan was a hurry-up job by an upstart independent maker suddenly in need of some new sales magic but unfortunately, the 1949 Frazer Manhattan wasn't it.
postwar convertible sedan, but was ill-received by the public.
After pumping out scores of World War II Liberty ships post haste, Henry J. Kaiser decided to pump out cars -- by the boatload, he hoped. But though his new six-cylinder Kaisers and Frazers did well enough in 1946-47, sales dropped sharply once updated Big Three models appeared with all-new postwar styling and more power. The upper-medium-priced Frazer, named for Henry's partner and industry veteran Joe Frazer, was hit particularly hard. But rather than heed Joe's advice and come back with all-new 1950 products, Henry ordered higher production -- and wound up with acres of unsold cars.
Among them was a new '49 Frazer to attract showroom crowds: America's first postwar convertible sedan, created by simply snipping the top from a four-door sedan, the only body style K-F had. Offered only in upper-level Manhattan guise, it wore the same facelift as other Frazers (highlighted by a shiny eggcrate grille), but rode a heavier -- and costlier -- reinforced frame that only further taxed the 112 horsepower of K-F's 226-cubic-inch six. Structural concerns prompted the use of fixed side window frames and B-posts with glass inserts, so this wasn't even a "full" convertible.
company lacked the name recognition its competitors boasted, hurting sales.
It was, however, luxuriously finished with such niceties as "dual trim" body-side chrome molding. Alas, that only contributed to a lofty $3295 price in a year when a Cadillac convertible cost but $150 more. With all this, the Frazer just couldn't sell, and only 70 were built through 1950. Another 131 with a heavier facelift were built for '51, after which Frazer was consigned to history.


"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have been promising some really "good news" for months and today I am officially announcing on behalf of "Friends of Copey" our plans to begin the long process of helping the Copey community build a new Learning Center.
The idea to help the Learning Center's physical conditions and help improve the overall learning environment and resources has been on our hearts for more than a year. We have witnessed the enthusiasm and energy among the staff working with very limited resources and we have seen some amazing results. We can only wonder what success there would be at the Learning Center if we could only improve some part of the educational experience. Lately, the possibility for helping with these improvements has become much brighter as several encouraging events have come about. And, I am a very strong believer in the words above belonging to Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.. It is simply a matter of faith to consider such a possibility and again, a matter of faith to take such a bold step.
For the record, "Friends of Copey" by definition is "Faith in Action!" So my message to all… let's begin by believing this is doable.
We start with Stage 1 of the process. This involves accumulating the information such as the accessibility and cost of utilities, property ownership issues, building design and purpose, and much more so we can develop a cost estimate for the project.
So, one big step at a time. We can celebrate the fact that we are even thinking this big. We have a pretty good chance for success. Our major focus for funding sources will be aimed at corporate donors and various foundations.
Today's special announcement will be followed later in the week with a final wrap up on our Goal Performance for 2016. Starting next week, we will officially begin the Anne G. Broady Scholarship Fund Drive and the Executive Director's Salary Support Fund Drive.
