The Islanders have sent D Devon Toews and C Jan Kovar to AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, per Newsday's Andrew Gross.
President and GM Lou Lamoriello has to submit his 23-man roster by the end of the day, and Toews and Kovar were the moves necessary to reach that number. The Islanders are also waiting to see if F Tom Kuhnhackl cleared waivers, so they could send him to Bridgeport as well.
"What you do in situations like this is give yourself flexibility, that's what we did," Lamoriello said. "If a player gets claimed, that's part of the game."
Lamoriello gave Toews, a fourth-rounder in the 2014 NHL Draft, some praise saying he has the ability to play at the highest level, but can use some grooming and regular minutes to develop his skills more.
"Right now, we've got four centers pretty well set," Lamoriello said, referring to Mathew Barzal, Brock Nelson, Casey Cizikas, and Valtteri Filppula. "Toews is a young player and has the ability but it's not going to hurt him at all. It's going to help him. I had a great conversation with him yesterday. There are things he can work on and play a lot of minutes. A young player, especially a defenseman, should play a lot of minutes when they can."
Kovar played the past five seasons in the KHL before coming over to New York this season.
The Islanders also placed Andrew Ladd on the IR, but Lamoriello is confident he will return to practice on Wednesday. He is eligible to be activated whenever Islanders deem him ready for game action.
The Isles open up their 2018-19 season on Thursday night against the Hurricanes on the road at 7 p.m. | https://www.sny.tv/islanders/news/islanders-send-devon-toews-jan-kovar-to-bridgeport/296887532/ | 382 |
Photos from inside a new apartment building in downtown Victoria. This building was approved in 2012 – the first new rental building approved in the City in the last 30 years.
There have been questions from certain corners of our community on the need for rapid densification – why do we need so many new buildings? Should we pull up the metaphorical drawbridge and protect Victoria from newcomers because we think it’s the only way to preserve the quality of life for people who already live here? There are many good reasons to answer no. I’ll highlight two and outline how a growing city and its neighbourhoods can be places where quality of life and well-being are enhanced, for everyone. I love my neighbourhood too.
At a recent talk in Victoria, the Governor of the Bank of Canada highlighted Canada’s aging workforce; as a result, currently two thirds of labour force growth comes from immigration. By 2025, he said, all labour force growth will come from immigration. This couldn’t be more true than in Victoria where we have an aging population with many people moving out of the labour force in the coming decades. These people will want to stay in Victoria and enjoy the quality of life they have here.
So, like the rest of Canada, though perhaps more rapidly, Victoria’s labour force will grow through immigration both from other provinces and other countries. This growing labour force – necessary to support those who are retiring – need places to live. That is a key reason that all this new building is necessary.
A second reason is climate change. In early March I was invited by Mayor Iveson in Edmonton to an urgent weekend meeting of mayors from around the world. The 800 scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) were meeting in Edmonton the following week and Mayor Iveson wanted us mayors to help shape the conversation.
The materials provided in advance of the gathering and the speakers at the opening plenary made it crystal clear: We have little time to take radical action with regard to climate change or we lose the battle. And, cities are both the cause and the solution to the problem.
Changing the way we live in Victoria in order to take bold climate action means more compact living and more people living in all our neighbourhoods. This can happen without changing their character too much through gentle density, houseplexes, tiny homes, townhouses and more. It means more people living within walking distance of goods and services available in village centres, resulting in less traffic and pollution. It also means inclusion, diversity, new neighbours and a denser web of social relationships.
On major corridors and downtown the changes we make to how we live in order to save the planet are more visible. There are more tall buildings. But what we can’t see from the outside is that almost all of these buildings are being built with vertical backyards: playgrounds on the third floor, lush, green community gathering spaces on the roof tops, one building even has an multiple birdhouses!
We don’t need to trade in quality of life even as our city grows to accommodate a changing labour force and a changing climate. What we do need is to have real dialogue rather than name calling and finger pointing. “NIMBY” is not a helpful term as it doesn’t take seriously the concerns and fears that people have – we all want to maintain the incredible neighbourhoods we’ve built together. Nor is it helpful to have a drawbridge mentality – this makes young renters and others feel unwelcome, and prevents us from adapting to changing times.
As our city grows and changes everyone will win because ultimately we all want the same thing – to be happy and healthy, to be prosperous, to feel safe, to breathe clean air, to feel that we belong to something greater than ourselves and to know that our children will have good futures. We’re all in this together.
A version of this article first appeared in the Victoria News here.
I live in Saanich but have a business in Victoria. Your leadership in taking concrete actions to protect the planet and its people is commendable and is the type of leadership we need.
Kudos to you and your actions in Victoria.
Raul thanks very much! And thanks also for doing business in Victoria!
I like the manor in which Lisa has started this city on many issues including bicycle lanes and in her success on welcoming Densification with the caution of associated placemaking such that quality of life can be maintained, even improved. Thank you Lisa.

As the mass distribution for COVID-19 vaccines started, many front-line workers and other essential individuals have already received their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccination. Many dental professionals are expressing their desire to consider their industry prioritized in the first phase of distribution. Dentist Covid vaccine must be highlighted as they might be able to help in distribution.
Many recommendations from institutions and associations state that local health departments should prioritize vaccinating dentists and their staff. Similar and relevant advice from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has arose.
They see and understand that dentistry is essential and highly-needed healthcare and that dentists and their staff are crucial healthcare workers.
Keeping the dental workforce and offices healthy is crucial these days to secure a safe and proper treatment for patients with oral problems and difficulties and need immediate care.
It also has stressed-out over and over that oral health is essential to overall health because undiagnosed and untreated dental disease has been linked with several systemic health conditions, including heart and lung diseases, diabetes, stroke, and some pregnancy complications.
Several states have defined their parameter on individuals who should be prioritized by health departments during Phase 1A.
Long-time and new dentists and others in the dental field have jumped on a recent petition to reconsider placing dentists into Phase 1A. Dentists and their staffs are also continually putting their health at risk as they render primary care to their patients.
Based on NCDHHS’s latest vaccine distribution guidelines (dentist covid vaccine), dentists can be a part of Phase 1A only if they directly work with COVID-19 exposed patients. Their other chance is Phase 1B, where they could get a vaccine if they have two or more chronic conditions. If neither applies, they would need to wait until Phase 2.
California receives additional doses of both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, their health care workers, and congregate-care facility workers, and residents are beginning to receive their shots.
But workers in dental workplaces say they should be higher up on the recipient list in the state’s first vaccine distribution phase.
Meanwhile, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vaccination in the initial phase of the COVID-19 vaccination program (Phase 1A) should be offered to both 1) healthcare personnel and 2) residents of long-term care facilities.
CDC defined healthcare personnel as paid and unpaid people serving in health care settings, which can potentially or indirectly expose patients or infectious materials. Long-term care facility residents are defined as adults who reside in facilities that provide various services, including medical and personal care, to persons who are unable to live independently.
Healthcare personnel, including dentists, continue to be on the front line of the nation’s fight against COVID-19. Healthcare personnel is at high risk of acquiring COVID-19 and experiencing severe symptoms, including death. Vaccinating healthcare personnel dramatically helps in preventing patients from getting COVID-19.

Planning Minister John Day has announced changes to development assessment thresholds.
State Planning Minister John Day announced the changes last Tuesday, dropping the opt-in threshold from $3 million to $2 million and extending the mandatory limit from $7 million to $10 million.
Applications to the specialist Development Assessment Panel (DAP) grew by more than 40 per cent between 2011 and 2014, with more than 321 applications received last financial year.
The DAP approved more than 90 per cent the applications submitted in 2013-14, not including those deferred. Mr Day said the modified threshold would provide developers more flexibility and create a more transparent system.
�At a community level, the reduction of the opt-in threshold recognises that some smaller-priced developments may benefit from being reviewed by an independent panel,� Mr Day said.
The changes have been met with some resistance, with local government representatives concerned the changes would strip councils of a final say on developments in their communities.
Department of Planning acting director general David MacLennan said the increase in DAP applications would not result in an increase in waiting times, while application fees would offset any incurred costs.
�The Government�s reform agenda aims to improve the planning system and approvals process by providing more transparency, consistency and reliability in decision-making on complex development applications,� Mr MacLennan said.
Urban Development Institute of Australia chief executive Debra Goostrey welcomed the changes, which she said were long sought by the industry.
�This is not about choosing one approval process above another across the board; rather, it is about increasing the choices that are available to each proponent so that they can make decisions appropriate to their circumstances,� Ms Goostrey said.
The changes to the DAP threshold come into effect May 1.

??? what wrong ?
delete the characters on that account and try it again if it still doesn't work make a new account and if that doesn't work delete your database and create a new one.
Kevin owner its no work but i am upload my game and login server...I think, the problem with them.Look and give me answer.
Data from database loaded.Changes on the database wont effect the server now!
lol.. This emulator is not hard to make it function, some people are freakin out cause they see a picture of the emu in game posted on the forum, If you want to walk around spawn mobs, and have pvp that has shitty damage its up to you. But I think if you really wanted to play this emulator, you would read the entire forum and look for all the problems that have already been discovered and also has a solution.
I have already posted this here before, Make sure your data folder is unzipped in the binary folder make sure that the data folder does not read data/data it should be in the first folder for data to read correctly.
The revision package came with all the things required to run this emulator with the proper client again "1.236" not 1.246 1.287.1.49857439657 or any other 1.39498 yes 1.236 it is. Take the loader and the silkhook.dll and put it into your "1.236" silkroad client folder and use that to launch the client.
Next you use the account creator to make your account. start up the login server then game server, Load up the client 1.236 let it load for a second type in your info then connect, click exit. Then start your client again you should now be able to connect into the game to make your characters. Create your first character. Go into the game remove all clothing that is equipped weapon, put it back on. exit the game. now close gameserver, restart game server you will now see it is loading new data.. that means the char you just made is recognized and loading. after it loads.. shut it down and go to your navicat and look for your character you just made should be in characterdata. set yourself GM add HP MP etc... I wrote this all in 1 thing because you should learn how to read instead of using pictures and 100% shown details step by step.. Also use your brain.. explore.. dont rely on people to help you all the time..
I forgot to add.. More distinct Instructions.. Make sure that in your navicat you make a new connection named "emulator", make a right click on it and execute "batch file". Locate the directory where you put the cemu files, find the sql database file that came with the revision then press start.. hopefully with all this agonizingly mind boggling efforts it will be a success. then OMG your sql database is now loaded.. maybe I said this all backwards. did you install mysql with the latest connection packages? are you still reading this going Oo.. wtf is this guy talking about? I suggest that you quit reading and walk away from your computer and find a new hobby.
I am using 1.236 but i cant login game.in 2days i cant login i am search problem in all thread but no have edit.How i login to game....The guys you are not help me.
I'm looking to a rock for 5 days but it still doesn't move.
c'mon dude that requesting user **** is in EVERY thread about csremu and other emu's and Try some things before going to a forum and ask it 1000 times.
look if this thing was a final version of a emulator and you get this stil THEN you have a reason to complain but this is a pre-alfa (correct me if i'm wrong) version so it has a huge mount of **** problems with it.
Hey bro what must i do?

FOND DU LAC – One in three Wisconsin deaths are caused by heart attack or stroke, and SSM Health Greater Fond du Lac Region is taking a new step to expand heart care services available in the city.
The SSM Health Dale Michels Heart & Vascular Care center, 420 E. Division St., will spend the next year undergoing an $8.5 million dollar expansion to accommodate its growing list of physicians and heart services.
Additions will include a Cardiac Electrophysiology Lab, three new preparation and recovery rooms, a new private consultation room, renovated reception area, expanded employee spaces, a semi-private family waiting area and other aesthetic improvements.
Construction will start Monday, and the Michels family donated $3 million of the cost — their second donation to the center honoring the late Dale Michels, then-owner and president of Michels Pipeline Construction, Inc.
In 1998, Michels suffered a heart attack at home in Brownsville, and needed a Flight for Life helicopter to take him from St. Agnes Hospital to a Milwaukee heart center that could provide the care he needed, according to Michels's son and current Michels Corporation president Pat Michels, who spoke during the May 25 announcement at the hospital.
However, freezing conditions didn't favor the helicopter that night, and one of the engines wouldn't immediately start. The heart surgery Michels needed immediately upon arriving in Milwaukee was successful, but he suffered a stroke and later died from complications.
"If we would have had the Dale Michels Heart Center at that time, he'd probably still be here," Pat Michels said.
The hospital launched the heart center in 2006, then called Dale Michels Center for Heart Care, in an effort to avoid situations like his. The Michels family donated $1.5 million.
Now, the center provides all structural heart procedures except transplants and performs more than 500 electrophysiology procedures per year, according to SSM Health Greater Fond du Lac Region.
"While the rapid growth and advancements of our cardiovascular program would be an outstanding accomplishment for any community of any size, it's particularly impressive for a smaller community like Fond du Lac," Agnesian HealthCare Foundation Executive Director Shawn Fisher said at the announcement.
Cardiologist Tadeo Diaz Balderrama added that while it is unusual for a city the size of Fond du Lac to have heart care options at this level, every patient that received help has been a neighbor, sibling, parent or a son or daughter that didn't have to travel for care.
Heart procedures have grown more advanced since 2006, and the expansion aims to reduce wait times for patients and offer comprehensive heart care locally.
The first of the additions will be the family waiting space, featuring five semi-private areas for families to wait if a loved on is in the ICU or undergoing a procedure.
Kevin Michels, vice president of Michels Corporation and another son of Dale Michels, is a patient of the center and was able to get a stent close to home before his condition grew too serious, he said at the announcement.
"How many other people have enjoyed maybe a longer life with their spouse or family member because they can come right here in Fond du Lac?" he said.

The students enrolled in the Literature of the Romantic Period at Yonsei for the Fall of 2018 celebrate the bicentennial of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein by hosting two exciting events. The first event is entitled as “Writing Between the Lines.” This is a competition in which students write and submit the ghost stories that they have written. They have to abide by a rule: they choose two sentences from the 1818 edition of Frankenstein to use as the beginning and ending of each of their stories.
This event has passed.

At this Board Development seminar, we will explore our behavioural preferences when we get into ‘high stakes’ – when we are under pressure, when problems emerge, when things go wrong, when anxiety and discomfort are experienced so intensely that it produces an almost involuntary behavioural response. Often, in a high stakes situation, the dark or shadow side of our behaviours emerge and we can find ourselves inadvertently undermining our own effectiveness, our relationships with colleagues and our Board’s success.
At our last Board Development masterclasses in June, we explored the impact of our behavioural preferences on the conversations we have and the relationships we build with our fellow Board members. It focused on our behaviours in everyday ‘low stakes’ situations: when everything is going well and the positive side of our behaviours dominate.
Yet, those who lead and govern our public services today face significant challenges and pressures. To meet a rising demand for services with limited budgets and resources. To make efficiencies and savings, yet maintain and improve service quality, reliability and safety. All to be achieved within a climate of continuous change and of rising consumer expectations. Against this backdrop, Board Members often find themselves operating in what they perceive to be ‘high stakes’ situations.
What constitutes high stakes is different for each of us. It can be triggered by external events – the loss of a key avenue of funding; the need to take an unpopular decision (such as removing or reducing a valued public service); conflicts within the team or an embarrassing corporate failure. It can be related to our own default behaviours or be a response to our past experiences – for example, fear of failure, fear of change, fear of radical difference or fear of being publicly humiliated.
In high stakes we tend to adopt a particular behavioural posture which has both a dark and a light side. We may become the Judge, the Advocate or the Prosecutor. We also tend to adopt one or more Heroic Modes – we want to fix things, protect people or survive no matter what the cost. But each of these also has a shadow side. We can become victims, aggressors or become detached and remote from all around us. Whatever posture or mode we adopt, an ordinary situation can be transformed into a ‘dangerous’ one. Thinking can become clouded, often obsessive, and our judgment and ability to lead and guide our organisations at the most critical moments can be reduced.
What is a ’high-stakes’ situation?
What causes the stakes to rise for individuals and Boards?
Located at the East End of Princes Street, the venue is a short walk from Waverley Train Station, Edinburgh Bus Station and tram stops at St Andrew Square and York Place.

Buying on smartphones has become a force of habit among British consumers, with 5% of the population relying on m-commerce every day according to Criteo.
The survey of 2,023 customers found that social media is playing a big part in this, giving rise to what Criteo has dubbed ‘copycart shopping’, whereby consumers are inspired to buy what crops up in their feeds.
The trend prevails among the younger generation, with 10% of millennials buying on mobile every day, and Snapchat and Instagram are proving to be the key social networks driving it.
Omnipresent mobiles have had a crucial impact on shopping habits, integrating brands and products into consumers’ daily lives.
Almost a third (29%) of those surveyed admit they purchase goods on their mobile phones, and as mentioned, the trend is more pronounced among the younger generations, with 49% of those under 44 using smartphones to shop.
With well over half (56%) of British adults accessing Facebook daily, the worlds of social and m-commerce are becoming increasingly connected. The research highlights that those very active on social media tend to ‘copycart’ shop more.
Heavy Snapchat users are 89% more likely to buy on mobile than the average customer for instance, while on Instagram, that figure sits at 74%.
Almost a quarter of the Brits buy clothes on mobile (23%), followed by music and film (16%) and health and beauty products (14%). According to the study, social media tends to drive the content of their shopping carts online too. On Instagram, users are 113% more likely to buy clothes on mobile than the average shopper, likely as an influence of the photo-sharing app’s popularity among fashion bloggers.
At the root of the trend, according to the study, is the fact that Brits love shopping, with 74% (81% for millennials) considering it an enjoyable activity.
What the survey has also revealed is that heavy social media users are more likely to enjoy shopping than those who don’t.
Criteo believes that when customers do what they enjoy, they respond better to ads and brand messaging.
“They’re also more likely to spend money. Being able to recognise individual shopping behaviour allows brands to begin to target consumers with the right message, at the right time,” commented Criteo. | d73a1eaa9fe943e78d8d92f72b9d184c | 489 |
Set the thermostat at 68 degrees or below to save energy and money. Installing a programmable thermostat can also help regulate your usage. Now is the perfect time to complete a household check to prepare for colder weather.
Have your furnace checked by a professional to ensure the pilot light and burners are working properly. Change the filter regularly.
Make sure the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are working properly and have adequate battery life.
Keep space heaters away from anything flammable. Do not use unapproved heaters indoors to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Thoroughly inspect the fireplace before starting a traditional fire or igniting gas logs.
With holiday guests in town, your stove and dryer might be doing more work than usual. Removing excess buildup from both of these appliances is a good habit.
Seal air leaks with caulking and weather stripping to keep warm air in and cold air out. Pay close attention to openings around windows and doors. Also, make sure your attic is properly insulated. | https://gohomeclub.com/home-maintenance-tips/7-pre-winter-tips/ | 211 |

We do a lot of research and planning in almost every decision that we make. Isn’t booking a flight a major decision too? While traveling, we double check everything right from our baggage, our hotel booking to the airlines we travel in. Why don’t we double check our airports?
Alternative airports can help find cheaper air tickets and hence give you some extra perks! This is one of the facts which is not very well known by many people but can help the budget travelers a lot in many ways!
Budget traveling is always a daunting task! You need to think and re-think about many of the things, plan and also research a lot. Same applies for the searching for cheaper air tickets. While you can always choose from the different classes of services provided by any airlines to avail the lowest price, there is also an alternative way to do so.
An alternate airport can be a smaller airport nearby to the main airport at your destination. These airports may be less famous and popular and smaller than the main ones but can become good alternatives for availing the great discounts on the air tickets.
After all, who doesn’t want to travel cheap and comfortably and traveling some extra miles to pay little fewer flight charges always pays off! This can be a very good way to plan a budget traveling for the frequent flyers who do not want to lose their pockets much just on the flight tickets.
Airfares are rising like the rocket for many years and sometimes, it gets very difficult to afford them for a major part of the population. Simple, yet smart tricks like finding an alternative airport for the cheaper flight tickets can work amazingly in this to get through it. You just have to do a little extra research, put in that little extra effort and avail the minimum price of the ticket for your flight! It’s totally worth it.
Besides this, there are many other benefits that the alternative airports offer. An important and attractive one is that you do not need to wait in the long TSA lines as these queues at the alternative airports tend to be shorter. So, this way, you save both times as well as money!
We have mentioned some of the reasons why you should consider the option of looking for an alternative airport. Also, to help you out to get more sorted with this, we have listed few simple, quick and smart tricks and tips on how to avail the cheap flight tickets by finding an alternative airport for your travel. Make sure you keep this in mind the next time you travel to your dream destination! What’s the harm in saving a little extra while you’re onboard?
Traveling with larger groups means more expense. If you’re traveling with your friends, family or a group of close acquaintances, the collective flight’s charges can sum up to be a whopping number! Well, who does not want to save that? Consider looking for an alternative airport in this case as you’ll end up saving a large amount collectively!
You may also end up saving more time! Yes! The main airports often host the connection flights and so the distance and the time you cover increases. These chances are cut down to a significant number when you travel to or from an alternative airport. The alternative airport will generally have a non-stop flight or shorter flights!
Ironically, smaller airports may mean quicker service. The less the number of passengers, the less will be the delay in collecting your baggage, the less will be the time take to get through the parking and ultimately, the lesser will be the time to navigate and check-out from the airport!
The alternative airport flight plan can be more attractive than the normal one. This is because many flights keep discount when you travel to or from a smaller airport. The locations or the areas which are less popular ones need to be explored and so many airlines take this initiative by offering attractive discounts and leverages while traveling from an alternative airport.
You will get many alternative airport finders on the internet, use them to do your research. Go through the flight plan and fares and you’ll certainly get a cheaper one for the same airlines, same destination and in some cases, the same date too! Google flights are one of the resources which can be used by the budget travelers to find the alternative airport near their destination.
Being flexible with the dates and time while searching for an alternate airport is also a good idea! You can choose a date before or after and see the drop in the fare, especially at the alternative airports! So why spend money and time when you can save them both? Alternative airports for cheap flights are a major budget-travel bucket list, and we just decoded it for you! | http://toparticlesubmissionsites.com/alternative-airport-for-cheap-flight-tickets-in-2020/ | 957 |
The national angst caused by travelers looking for a way out of the Germany for the second day in a row was augmented on Friday when Berlin’s airport became the third to suspend flights following an accident.
Thousands of travelers faced a second day of disruption at German airports as a strike by security guards over pay continued on Friday, causing more than 100 flight cancellations.
In addition, Berlin’s Schoenefeld airport said it had suspended all arrivals and departures until 8 a.m. ET after a small private plane ran off the runway in the morning.
Cologne-Bonn airport said more than half of the 200 flights scheduled for Friday had already been canceled and more would likely follow over the course of the day.
At the northern airport of Hamburg, numerous flights by airlines including Lufthansa were canceled. The airport’s operator said about 20,000 departing passengers were affected by the strike.
The strike had caused more than 200 flight cancellations at Hamburg and Duesseldorf airports on Thursday.
Duesseldorf is Germany’s third-busiest airport after Frankfurt and Munich, with more than 20 million passengers per year. Hamburg and Cologne-Bonn have about 13.6 and 9.6 million passengers per year, respectively.
Verdi is calling for wage rises of between 2.50 and 3.64 euros per hour for 34,000 security workers in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, where Cologne-Bonn and Duesseldorf airports are located.
In Hamburg, the union is calling for a wage hike of 2.70 euros for around 600 security workers.
Works councils estimate that more than 70 percent of the employees work in the lowest wage group, earning just 8.23 euros gross ($11.06) per hour.
German security industry group BDSW has said Verdi’s demands were excessive.

The.
Four of Davidson’s five starters scored double-digits in tonight’s game, with Junior forward De’Mon Brooks leading all scorers. Brooks turned in a dominating performance for the Wildcats, scoring 24 points and grabbing 8 rebounds.
Having officially punched their ticket for the Big Dance, the Davidson Wildcats will eagerly await Selection Sunday, where they will learn who they will face in the first round. Davidson will most likely be seeded in the 12-16 range and will hope to improve on their magical run of 2008 when the Stephen Curry-led Wildcats reached the Elite Eight.
Value Add ranked Curry as one of the top five players in the country during that 2008 season and the 2009 season. While they do not have any players at that level this year, Value Add rates 6-foot-10 center Jake Cohen in the top 4% of all players this season. | 532566161118fc71c31c4ad1acf55b7b | 181 |

It is clear that today's parents focus on saving more and wasting less in everything they do. A Sassy Bloom 1st Birthday Baby Gift Box. When you choose to purchase from us, you can choose between 2 fast and reliable payment methods: The examination is performed on all newborns, ideally within 48 hours of birth. The baby's family doctor also checks it again during the 8-week check.
In the first place, happy birthday to your mother! You have a phenomenon in your physique, I still admire the reverence for every baby I give birth to - I am amazed at how a lady can make a small person in her grew so well! It is no wonder that in the first quarter you find yourself feeling overloaded and insecure about the changes in your physical condition.
As there are many mysteries about being pregnant, these 20 facts are designed to help clarify your questions and give you trusted, dependable facts that you may not know about your first quarter! After 12 week your baby is fully-shaped! From this point on they will keep growing and developing their organ, but everything is shaped, even parts of the brains!
Reflect on what you are exposed to while your baby is building important organ and cerebral tissues. They can be rejected, especially before your baby becomes visible, but can be crucial to the good condition of you and your baby. It is recommended to take folate during the first 12 week of gestation.
Since your baby is completely made after 12 weeks, folate is no longer needed, so don't squander your money. Your baby will be completely made after 12 years. In order to calm you down, most of your early quarter symptom are mild and nothing to be concerned about - you just need to know what is unusual and how to treat the mild you.
In the early phases of your gestation you may get several strange feelings and aches. Wounds/unpleasant boobs are frequent and some females even have gunshot aches. It' only has to do with an increase in the amount of promoterone and an important endocrine known as HCG (human choir gonadotropin) that is involved in maintaining your childhood - the endocrine gonadotrophin found in your gestational test.
She will have breast changes during gestation and after childbirth. Nausea in the mornin' isn't always in the mornin'! About 85% of females are ill in the mornings. In fact, it can be a symptom of a normal gestation because it is thought to be due to a modification of the HCG protein secreted by the posterior coronary artery after an implant.
Early morning sick feeling is more likely (or worse) for many a woman due to low levels of glucose in the mornings, so try to avoid eating too much and often. Even the cookie is best textured when you get sick. Hypereemesis is not common. There is a big distinction between early morning sick feeling and occassional throwing up and the fact that you are not able to control much or nothing (hyperemesis).
They can dehydrate quickly and since this is an important period for your baby, it is important that you get the moisture, nutrients and vitamins you need. It' s perfectly natural and will go on until the end of the first quarter. Consult your obstetrician or physician for information about your bleeding.
There is a well-founded hypothesis that you "bloom" in gestation. She tends to appear at the beginning of your gestation to keep the man close by so that the expectant mother has shelter when she becomes more susceptible. At the moment, your baby is deep in the pool, below the navel, which means he can put a lot of strain on your bubble, which means he has to take a piss more often.
While this is perfectly common and no cause for concern unless you have extra signs like burn, sting, discoloration or odor of your bladder fluid, you should not take it. When you experience one of these signs, let your birth attendant know and she will mail you a midstream urine sample (MSU) to be checked to see if everything is okay.
Tiredness is most prevalent during the first quarter. As your metabolism improves, your glucose level and your hypertension can drop to give your baby everything he or she needs to grow, which can make you tire. Try again to have little and lots of food and drinks, because this will really help you to really get better.
In early gestation it is very frequent to sense a shift in emotion - whether it is ecstasy, having blended or anxiety. All of these sensations are abnormal, whether your gestation is scheduled or not, there is a great deal to do. Don't be too worried about the ups and downs, just take things as they come and rely on the trial.
When you cry most of the time and really not yourself, speak to your midwife about how you are feeling, she will be there to fully assist you. If your womb is expanding to take in your baby as he grows, you can begin to get band aches. That' s natural and should work out - there isn't much you can do to stop it, as your womb needs to stretch.
Don't worry as some cramps and lower terrible pains can be quite common! The majority of individuals are right to connect back pains with the third quarter, but it is also connected with the first. If you suddenly start releasing the relaxing substance relaxing effect, the womb will stretch, meaning that the tapes in your back are needed to take in your baby.
It is essential to take care of your back from the beginning of your gestation. Well, now that I've uncovered some of the general symptoms that you may be experiencing in the first quarter, here are some other facts that you may find interesting: Very early you can have the feeling that you have twin because all the changes have been talked about and there is a small opportunity that you are.
After 8 week your baby is formally referred to as the fetus, which means "smaller" in Latin. As soon as your gestation is verified by ultrasonography and up to the age of 12 week, you are eligible for free dentistry. The NHS offers them an examination in the first quarter.
Private too there are special features like the Harmony Test, which uses a test of your baby's mother's cell count to look for severe anomalies in her baby's CD.
There have been many changes in physiology until you have reached the end of the first quarter. The hormone, increased amount of your circulation, metabolism and fear can all affect how you do. They are not there to take the lead or tell you what to do because they relate to your baby and your baby, so you should always be feeling under your own thumb.

Jaffna based journalists who have been working for regional Tamil dailies and Colombo based media will participate in the demonstration demanding that the culprits behind this murder brought to book without delay, media sources said.
The Jaffna magistrate had already taken off Nimalarajan murder case from the roll due to the failure of Attorney General (AG) filing indictments against the suspected assassins even after the special police team which conducted investigation in to the murder had submitted its report to AG, legal sources said.
The Nimalarajan murder case is likely to be dropped permanently if the AG fails to file indictments against the suspects who are now enlarged in bail, legal sources said. | https://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=13173 | 141 |

I don't think Sale getting 3000 strikeouts is anything close to a foregone conclusion, let alone that he'll be able to maintain the same pace. He's currently at 2007 heading into his age 31 season, and averaged 248 per season from '13 to '18. So that's four more seasons with a return to his prime, or five to six at a good but not great clip to get to 3000. To my original point, Sale needs several very good to great seasons in his 30s to be a strong candidate for the HoF.

By Stephanie Nebehay GENEVA (Reuters) – The United Nations on Tuesday denounced “shockingly” long prison terms imposed by Thailand for insulting the monarchy and urged authorities to amend the law and release those convicted. Thai military courts on Friday jailed two people for insulting the monarchy, one for 30 years and the other for 28, the heaviest sentences for the crime in Thai history, lawyers and a legal monitoring group said. | https://www.elitesites.net/tag/bangkok/ | 86 |
Q: Report: "SUMIF" within Summary Level Formula I am looking to create a sort of customer retention report to essentially highlight accounts that did business within us in the past 1-2 years, but haven't since. Specifically we want to identify these by key products and quantities, so I attempt to create this Summary Level Formula, but unfortunately only get zero back even though I'm positive my Product Code is accurate
IF(ORDER_ITEM_CUSTOMER_PROD_ID="MYKEY",ORDER_ITEM_QUANTITY:SUM,0)
Any ideas how I would achieve this or what I'm doing wrong with this current formula?
A: Looking at the two most relevant help pages on this: (1) and (2), seeing your results and doing some extrapolation, it seems like the only usable fields in a Summary Level formula are summarized columns, not columns themselves. Which is a pity.

Ca’ del Bosco is a place where art and wine meet and coalesce with sculpture and the harmonious landscape.
"Wine is real value that gives us another reality."
Ca’ del Bosco takes to heart this pronouncement of Luigi Veronelli, one of the central players in the valorization and exposure of classic Italian food and wine in the late ‘80s, when he introduced the first works of art installed around the wine cellars in Erbusco.
The passion for art springs from its similarity to wine, a three-dimensional product that stimulates multiple senses: vision, olfaction and taste.
Maurizio Zanella’s predilection for sculpture is well served by the location, whose stunning landscapes provide the perfect setting for works of art. The works chosen express values and concepts associated with the natural cycles of the vineyards and their surroundings. With time, passion and creativity have been enhanced by a taste for challenges and intellectual provocation.
The works of art situated at Ca’ del Bosco are not part of a collection: all the artists’ works are site-specific, planned after having visited the winery, so that the art will interact with the natural beauty of its context.
Art has played a fundamental role in the growth of the winery since the 1980s, allowing Ca’ del Bosco to come into contact with people and worlds who prized quality wine and understood the added value of a cultural approach associated with the world of wine.
A decision that made it possible for the wines of Ca’ del Bosco to quickly earn a solid reputation, which over the years has grown into an indissoluble bond.
The resulting image is strong and long-lasting, of high cultural and economic quality, reflecting human ambition and perseverance.
“I don’t think of the observer”, says Mitoraj, “I express myself through fragments, because the unseen part is much more important”. His statue remains a luminous fragment, set apart from the cellar. Framing it is the sky, which at times seems to “light up” the white of the marble, and the green hilly outline of Ca’ del Bosco.
Igor Mitoraj was born in Oaderan, Germany; his mother was German and his father an officer in the Foreign Legion. He sur- vived the bombing of Dresden at the end of the war in 1945. He grew up in Wroclaw, studying under Tadeusz Kantor, then moved to Paris, taking courses at the Beaux-Arts, and later to Mexico, where he studied Aztec art. He spent his time between Montmartre, Soho and Greece, source of his most evident inspiration. He passes away on 2014.
Arnaldo Pomodoro was born in the province of Rimini and, after studying architecture, debuted as a designer, decorator and craftsman of metal. In Milan he was a habitué of Brera Academy artistic circles in the 1950s and in 1954 began to exhibit in Italy and abroad. Many of his works can be seen today in cities worldwide and he is considered to be Italy’s greatest contemporary sculptor.
This sculpture “Elogio dell’ombra”, located in Ca’ del Bosco’s little lake, seems to serve as framework for predominating nature but at the same time, in a play of watery reflections, interlaces with the leaves and geometrically changes one’s view of the place. A feeling of lightness contrasts with the solidity of te sculture.
Bruno Romeda lives and works in France and New York as well as in his birthplace, Brescia. His works have been exhibited in the world’s top art galleries. Circles, squares and triangles are the favorite themes of a simple, almost primordial, repertory rendered in narrow strips of bronze of varying thickness. The lines they create seem to take inspiration from the Val Camonica rock engravings. The artist began to work “on site” in the early 1950s in Antibes, in contact with great geniuses like Picasso, and continued in the sixties in America when minimalism was at its height. His spare and lightweight works, made up of full and empty spaces, are designed to blend in with the landscape and natural surroundings.
The sculpture appears to be in a condition of equilibrium or slow reawakening from a state of conscious, as well as bodily, drowsiness. The squatting figure clasps herself as she hunches in a foetal position and seems to be stretching slowly. The face evokes delicacy and a fragility of the soul that is powerfully reinforced by a very special “skin” of coloured jigsaw-puzzle pieces. This scaly epidermis harbours hidden codes and languages. It is a protecting screen, a route to be decoded or a map to be read. The pieces are a filter, separating interior from exterior, even as they outline the figure’s nakedness.
abarama is the nom d’art of Paola Epifani, born in Rome in 1969. From a young age, she showed a natural talent for sculpture and at the age of ten, took part in the International Exhibition for the 30th Anniversary of NATO. After attending art school, she went on to the “Academy of Fine Arts of Venice”, graduating in 1991. She is known for her sculptures based on the human figure with their remarkable intensity of expression. Her giant bronze and aluminium works are generally floor-mounted. Rabarama’s sculptures are nearly always decorated with patterns, textures or drawings, which on her metal sculptures are coloured by hand. Since 2000, her works have been exhibited at prestigious museums in Italy and abroad, particularly in the USA and Paris.
The work’s positioning “Il peso del tempo sospeso” at the entrance to the cellar is striking and disorienting. A life-size rhinoceros hanging from the ceiling, a witty hyperrealist joke. The animal symbolizes vitality and energy yet here it is harnessed and suspended, as if to make us think about the meaning of the still life in art, yet in the end shocking us and leaving an intense and violent impression.
Stefano Bombardieri was born in Brescia, son of sculptor from whom he first learned about artistic techniques and materials. But his expressiveness was nurtured by his youthful experiences working at the Gardaland amusement park, where he learned the secrets of constructing whales, rhinoceros and imaginary or prehistoric sea monsters. Everything needed for spectacular fun, encouraging him to become a great jester in art. He amazes and amuses us but at the same time makes us think about seemingly banal aspects of life, teasing our rationality. Hence the surprising placement in the Ca’ del Bosco cellar, midway between deliberate symbolism and subtly playful intent.
Chersicla transforms the god Dionysus into an amusing mask, into a clown issuing from a flûte glass. The design seems almost inspired by a Gothic window where, once opened, the grapes and leaves crowning his head appear to branch out like vine shoots. The ironic and absolutely spare style expresses the naturalness of the god of wine while emphasizing his joviality, lightheartedness, jesting and prankishness, as intuited from his arch expression.
Born in Trieste, he has lived in Milan since 1966. He has created public works of exceptional caliber ranging from wooden sculpture to xylography. In contemporary sculpture the artist’s works are constructed, in the sense that they open being articulated to form different images made of pieces of cut, smoothed and colored wood that become almost mechanical parts leaving room for new interpretations. Craftsmanship and modernity interweave in the movement, becoming a play of shapes. Among his best-known works are the sculpted doors at Savini restaurant in Milan and the Dionysus Gualtiero Marchesi displays at his Il Marchesino.
In 2009, Maurizio Zanella asked the Cracking Art group to create an animal that would blend perfectly into the setting of vineyards and woodlands on his Erbusco estate. Thus was born the idea of the wolf, in this case a vigilant but benevolent guard wolf. The drawing traced the outline of an almost priest-like wolf, softened by a fleeting, ironic smile. Sketches were turned into physical forms to create Blue Guardian, in a blue that deliberately “breaks” with Ca’ del Bosco’s colours.
Cracking Art, the art group founded in 1993, brings together six artists (Nucara, Veronese, Angi, Rizzetti, Kicco and Sweetlove) who each express themselves in strong individual languages. The process of catalytic cracking takes oil, the oldest natural material in the universe, and transforms it from a natural substance into an artificial one to make it a sculptable, recyclable material. Cracking Art creates shapes that mimic nature through animals communicating an “indestructible optimism”, as critic Piero Adorno called it.
Rado’s new found passion for sculpture and his mastery of stainless steel are expressed in this new medium, which he has called the Mercury effect.
Rado Kirov was born in Bulgaria in 1955. Rado began an extensive apprenticeship in copper smithing at the age of 25 in the town of Dobrich Bulgaria under tutelage of Alexander Raev, one of the greatest craftsmen in Bulgaria at the time. Rado’s passion and skill in copper, shifted to silver and gold. Over the last 15 years, Rado gradually shifted his creative focus to product design and functional art working extensively with interior designers and architects. Rado Kirov developed a unique technique of manipulating a sheet of stainless by hand, using the inherent physical properties of the metal to create a striking three-dimensional surface that dynamically mirrors its surronding and draws the observer into the magic of its reflection.
Egg Concept is made with more than 6,000 eggshells. The central element of Egg Concept is a perfect egg on an articulated base, which forms an integral part of the work itself. From the aesthetic point of view, Egg Concept fits into the Arte Povera tradition for its use of low-cost, recycled, everyday materials and into Conceptual Art as it is a meditation on the concept of art and art’s role.
Spirito Costa is from Brazil, which has given him a heightened sensitivity to all things ecological. He has experienced the trauma of the Amazionian forest at first hand and, to encourange reflection onwhat is a kay issue for the continued existence of the entire planet, he has created “Egg Concept”. Its message is universally accessible thanks to the widely dominant symbolism of the egg, shared over the centuries by almost every culture.
Water in dripping continues the intrinsic link between the sculptures and the literary texts that inspire their creation. The artist appropriates a poem composed by Pai Chu-I (also known as Bai Juyi), a renowned poet of the Tang Dynasty as the basis of the textual component in this piece of art. Exploring the locomotion of the nature of water and embedded within the sculptural shape, therein lies the chosen poem that speaks of a symbolic voyage of nature and mobility. Looming and graceful but nevertheless inviting, it is also notable that the installation is lit with low-dimmed lighting that at once glows and dramatizes the contours of the overall construction.
Zheng Lu was born in 1978 in Chi Feng, Mongolia. He studies sculpture at the Lu Xun Fine Arts Academy and he specializes firstly at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, then in France where in 2006 he obtains the Scolarship Prix LVMH at the ‘École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts in Paris. Among the prizes he won, the Inspired Performance Journey, the Gran Premio INFINITI, 4° place at the competition Design For Sitting in 2009, the Prize Best Tecnique and the Prize LVMH Young Artist “Homage to the Impressionists” in 2005.
Over the years, the artists have followed a line of inquiry that focuses attention on pieces of nature, a sort of imaginary sample swatch where a magnifying glass enlarges that which the earth can contain, a sort of memory of man’s passing. This clump of earth makes us think about the esthetic aspect of enlarging a piece of soil, with little flowers, lost fragments of human activity, with color and shape their only remaining properties, books lost and found that tell of a temporary knowledge, grass, rocks: an imaginary world rich with sensations. In the center of this microcosm is a bottle, which enshrines all of these sensations in itself.
Bertozzi & Casoni was founded in Imola in 1980, by Giampaolo Bertozzi (1957) and Stefano Dal Monte Casoni (1961). Even in the first years of their artistic development, their interest gravitated towards a dialogue with the great artistic tradition, cultivating an inherent proclivity for experimentation in the field of sculpture and identifying ceramics as a material that makes painted sculpture possible. Among the highlights of past exhibits: Tate Liverpool (2004), Sperone Westwater, New York (2005, 2010, 2015), Ca’ Pesaro, Venice (2007), Castello Sforzesco, Milan (2008), Venice Biennale (2009), Venice Biennale (2011), All Visual Arts, London (2012), Museum Beelden aan Zee, the Hague, and Beck & Eggeling, Düsseldorf (2013), Palazzo Te, Mantua (2014), Expo, Milan and Mambo, Bologna (2015), GAM, Palermo (2016), Museo di Palazzo Poggi, Bologna, and the Pinacoteca Civica, Ascoli Piceno (2017).
Il Testimone welcomes visitors to the red wine barrel cellar. Its imposing presence pays homage to the Testimoni born in limestone in 2009 from the echoes of the celebrated Mothers of Capua’s Museo Campano. Here it keeps vigil over time and history. Its iconic power, unarmed and disarming, protects the precious treasure contained in the barrels resting in the shadows.
The concept of Sound of Marble is based on the interaction between marble, sound and light. The work investigates the ancestral qualities of stone related to the innovative challenge of making very thin walls that are both curved and self-supporting. Once inside the artwork, the artist's idea is to amplify the sounds of nature, such as those of wind and birds, through the shape and thickness given to the marble itself. In addition, the type of marble chosen, Estremoz, is able to take on different colors through the veins in the stone that change their appearance with the rain.
Tsuyoshi Tane is a Japanese architect working in Paris. He graduated from Hokkaido Tokai University in 2002 and has gained professional experience in London, Denmark and Japan. Tsuyoshi Tane is considered one of the exponents of the new generation of emerging architects who create architecture guided by the memory of a place, the idea on which his concept of “archaeology of the future” is based. With Tsuyoshi Tane, memory is once again an indispensable value for building the future with signs that are pregnant with meaning, alternative to the votive identities and rapid information flows of the contemporary world. Places always have memories deeply embedded in the ground. This process of thinking deeply, from the past towards the future, slowly transforms archaeology into architecture. | https://www.cadelbosco.com/en/art-wine/sculpture/ | 3,313 |
One of the Silicon Valley’s premiere entertainment venues, the Fox Theatre in Redwood City offers a unique line up of plays, musicals, concerts and movies. Set in the heart of downtown Redwood City, the iconic theatre is surrounded by some of the best restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops, making it an ideal location for an afternoon out or a night on the town.
Moved by the architectural designs of Europe, Ellis John Arkursh created the Fox Theatre using two distinct styles. The Moorish influence bedecked its elaborate interior while the exterior reflected a medieval Gothic inspiration. The theatre opened its doors in January 1929 as the New Sequoia Theatre but only 4 months later, was bought by the Fox West Coast Chain. With two screens, one seating 1,300 and the other 240 people, the theatre primarily was used to show motion pictures until after its remodel in 1950, when it became a favorite setting for performers such as Neil Young, BB King, Melissa Etheridge and others.
Thanks to the economic downturn in 2009, the theatre went dark but was brought back to life a year later by San Mateo music promoter, Eric Lochtefeld. Lochtefeld and his wife, Lori, bought the theatre and reimagined its use as one that would include entertainment of all types. The couple has remodeled the theatre while maintaining its distinctive historic architecture and ambiance. The Lochtefelds opened the theatre to over 100 public and private events annually, drawing in well over 100,000 patrons to enjoy the concerts, live shows, plays and musicals. The couple also opened ClubFox, a small venue at 2209 Broadway with state-of-the-art sound and a dance floor, perfect for those looking for live music of all types.
Located at 2215 Broadway Street in Redwood City, the Fox Theatre has a complete list of upcoming events online. You can purchase tickets on their website or at the theatre box office. Or, if you’re looking for a stunning venue to host a private event, the theatre and auxiliary properties are available for rent.
The Fox Theatre is only one of the many attractions and amenities that make Redwood City a great place to work and live. If you’re interested in relevant real estate information about Redwood City, we invite you to opt in to receive our award-winning custom Market Reports.

Omg I know. When he called and she was at SOQM I was so baffled. That’s when I really started to lose hope for bughead. I still ship them but if Jug doesn’t notice the quiet spiral Betty is on then I can’t support it.
Betty has lost SO much (family, home, future plans, and some friend) and it kind of seems like any time Betty does something questionable or close to snapping everyone brushes it off. Jug included. You would think he would be on high alert for stuff like that. Especially after she showed him that she digs her nails into her palms. | b16cdade21744a67834a113ed5423f42 | 137 |
Really? according to that same website:
"A player's potential performance, when armed with the NeGcon in a game like Wipeout, is far beyond that of the unfortunate player chained to a D-pad.
A number of games supported this controller early on, among them: the entire Wipeout series, Gran Turismo, and the Ridge Racer series. The NeGcon was never a well-known controller, but there are players who, to this day, consider it to be the superior analog controller for the Playstation. I'm pleased to have found one back in '96 at a local toy store. I never play Wipeout without it."
I think it would work great if applied properly and there were enough uses/games to support it. | 9bf916dbb53140aa8f755e87c06ec741 | 161 |
I learned in fifth grade, but I only did small projects (hats, purses, scarves, and cowls) until last year, when I was depressed and decided knitting would be a nice pick-me-up. My mom and I learned to knit together when a yarn shop opened in our town. It's been 10 years now.
My first garter stitch scarf was so ugly! I used to twist stitches like there was no tomorrow. I also always used to drop stitches. And when I first learned colorwork my hats would end up so bumpy and uneven! Makes me cringe looking at them. | 61bcee29b97a43e881888f6646958446 | 128 |
The RICS has struck off a surveyor who has been imprisoned for child sex offences.
Darren Wright, who worked as a business rates director for property consultant GVA in London, was convicted last year of facilitating the commission of a child sex offence; attempting to distribute indecent images of a child; and making indecent images of a child.
Wright was sentenced to four years imprisonment with an extended licence of 10 years and put on the sex offenders register for life.
The judge in the criminal case said Wright represented a “high risk of harm to children”.
The RICS panel said it had to strike him off its professional register to “safeguard the reputation of the profession” and to “protect the public”.
The RICS written judgment said: “It took the panel little time to conclude that the only appropriate sanction was to expel Mr Wright from RICS.” Wright was also ordered to pay costs of £600 to the RICS.

Every teacher has different favourite age groups. I’ve met teachers of adults who are terrified of all children; kindergarten teachers who love screaming toddlers but don’t know what to do with more mature and sedate students; and teachers of all levels who have a particular problem with 7 year old boys to be very specific. However, the most common and more long term issue seems to be how to work effectively with teens.
There are many ways to target and be successful with teenagers, many ways which work to varying degrees with different people and which I myself can never claim to be a master of. Today I just want to give 3 points which help me. Three points which won’t guarantee a brilliant lesson but which, if carefully considered and implemented, will raise your game.
Sounds obvious, isn’t easy. Motivation is a large and complex field which if you are interested in delving into more deeply I would strongly recommend you check out the works of Zoltan Dornyei. At a simple level, motivation can be looked at in terms of extrinsic or intrinsic types. Extrinsic motivation is comprised of a large and shifting web of factors that as a teacher of a short term summer course you would have a difficult (though not impossible) time changing. Let us then look at intrinsic motivation.
Intrinsic motivation in a language classroom basically means students enjoying the class for the class itself, not for any external reasons relating to ambitions, dreams, society etc. If you want to keep your teenagers happy then make your class interesting for them.
Imagine you are 14 again, it’s a sunny day and you’re on holiday and you’re stuck in a language classroom. Maybe you love studying, but maybe you’re only there because your mum or teacher forced you to go. A set of grammatical questions? A long reading task about some old English king? Or a competitive team game involving fast reactions using a set of relevant vocabulary?
If you can design (or steal) a certain number of games or activities involving your language that are interesting or fun enough that you would like to play them, then your students most probably would too. You don’t have to gamify your whole class, you just have to pepper your lesson with enough of them that the students can then hold focus and follow you through some of the more down to earth and studious sections.
Intrinsic motivation is especially important when working with teens (and children) as they are less able to modulate their extrinsic motivation than adults.
Stephen Krashen’s ‘affective filter hypothesis’ states that a prerequisite for language acquisition to take place is that students must be as free as possible from anxiety, stress, indifference and other negative or distracting emotions.
Basically, if a student is scared and stressed they will be too busy focusing on other things to let language enter their brain and create new neural connections. The same goes if they just don’t care. And while these things are true for all learners they can have particular relevance for those going through puberty and insecure about a whole host of other things before speaking out in class is considered.
So what can you do? Well, make everybody relaxed and happy at the start of class. Begin with simple routines and exchanges and help everybody feel safe. Let students know that you care about and respect them and they will be much more likely to care about and respect your class.
Many students won’t want to speak out in front of others if they aren’t confident. Give them time to process their ideas and practise talking about them to a partner before they have to talk out in front of the whole class. If they know you aren’t going to be suddenly putting them on the spot they may relax a bit more and be ready to trust you.
If students don’t care about your lesson topic then they won’t want to be involved. It doesn’t matter how much they like you or how well structured you plan is. If they simply don’t want to know then you will find yourself having to drag them to where you want to go rather than lead them freely. Great intrinsic motivation can help in this case of course but it will be much easier overall if you start with a topic that they are interested in.
With a new class finding the right subject matter can be a bit tricky but as you get to know them you will learn more about what they care about. As a bonus, the more you find out what they care about, the more they will feel that you respect them.
They might actually use that language in their external lives.
They will know what they are talking about in class, not have to spend extra time learning the content as well as the English.
They will want to find new ways to put across their opinions and make themselves heard.
They may have a stronger English foundation in the area due to TV, movies and internet.
They might actually do their homework.

With a successful cup run and mid-week victory over Cheddar, Warminster should have travelled to Hengrove Atheltic with the confidence of a win. Hengrove who are third from bottom of the league and with a reputation for conceding goals looked to be a team to beat. The result though was disappointing for the Red & Blacks who it could be said of “had a bad day at the office”.
Hengrove looked confident from the kickoff and in the second half scored the only goal of the game to give them a 1 – 0 win and a very rare clean sheet. The home team passed the ball well and spent much of the first half in Warminster’s territory.
The warning signs were there early in the game, Carl Crabtree had to produce a good save in the 7th minute, diving to his left to keep the ball out of his net. The visitors did have a super opportunity to score when in the 10th minute a free kick taken from the right-hand edge of the box by Shanley curled in towards the onrushing Francois Allen who just failed to connect. A minute later though Hengrove responded with another shot on goal, this time an easy save for Crabtree.
Throughout this half, Warminster found it difficult to retain the ball and tended to give it away cheaply. All the outfield players seemed to have an off-day and passes went to a green shirt more often than to a man in red and black. Fortunately, none of the errors resulted in a goal and only a few shots on goal by the home team were made.
In the 42nd minute, Miluk did well down the right, cut in along the by-line and beat the defenders to get the ball through to Vincent who’s shot hit the defender and out for a corner kick. Shaney took the corner and it was met by the rising head of Lewis Graham who only managed to get the ball over the crossbar.
The second half got underway with both team goal-less but that changed in the 56th minute when a ball from halfway inside the home side’s half was lobbed just inside Warminster’s, it was picked up by the home sides striker who ran down the centre pursued by 2 of Warminster’s defenders and the onrushing Crabtree. However, no one could stop the shot which finished up in the middle of Warminster’s goal.
Crabtree had to produce a spectacular save just before the half-hour mark tipping the ball over the crossbar to keep the score to just the one goal. The final 15 minutes though did see Warminster finally put a lot of pressure on the home side’s goal and with 6 minutes of normal time left, Shanley forced the keeper into a fine save. In the 89th-minute substitute, Johnson had an opportunity to equalise but his header was saved by Carl Bush. Moments later Eban Mortimer-Taylor made a run along the byline on the left of goal and his curling shot went just over the top of the crossbar.
In additional time Hengrove were hanging on as Warminster now awakened from their slumber pushed forward. Johnson shot wide and Mortimer-Taylor had a shot cleared off the line but in this game, it was all too late and victory was not to be snatched from the jaws of defeat on this occasion.
Warminster can now look to make amends on Saturday, December 14th with a home game against Portishead Town who they have beaten 5 – 2 in the league and 5 – 0 in the Les Phillips Cup, so will there be more goals? Kickoff at 3.00 pm and after 90 minutes that question will be answered!
Team: Crabtree, McFerran*, Jeffery, Graham, Lisowski, Churchyard, Miluk, Mortimer-Taylor, Allen*, Vincent*, Shanley

username_0: I would like to use tiramisu for the unit test. But the api-level only allows integer. How about allowing non-integer api-level for it?

Here is my formula's guess on the game to win it all.
The score projection formula I use to come up with bowl outcomes had a mixed year. It did its best ever straight up, going 29-11 in just picking the eventual winners of the games. It also had its worst ever year in six total against the spread at just 17-23 versus the sharps in Vegas.
There is still one more bowl game to go: the national championship between Clemson and Alabama. The formula went 15-3 straight up in games between Power 5 conference teams, and one of the misses was picking Texas A&M over Louisville. There were some extenuating circumstances with the QB exodus from College Station, so the formula worked out splendidly over those kinds of games.
Of course, one of the other misses was projecting Oklahoma to beat Clemson 37-30. The reality was a 27-point swing the other way with the Tigers winning that one 37-17. It didn't come close with that game.
Then again, it didn't come all that close with the other semifinal either. It projected Alabama to win 26-19, a solid touchdown victory albeit with a Spartan cover of the 9.5-point spread. Instead, the Crimson Tide rolled all over MSU to the tune of 38-0. Turns out, it's not a good idea to fight Alabama by doing roughly the same thing Alabama does but with less talent.
So with the possibility that this is underestimating both teams, the formula sees a classic of a title game. It has Alabama winning 27-26, meaning Clemson covers the (presently) seven-point spread. I can project yardage the same as I do points, and it comes out as having the Tigers outgaining the Tide 391-348 despite the loss. That would be an impressive showing by Clemson, as only Ole Miss's 433 and Mississippi State's 393 beat that among past Alabama opponents on the season. The Rebels' 43 also is the only score greater than the 26 projected for Clemson.
Of course given how the formula has done straight up and against the spread this year, maybe the smart pick is to shout "Roll Tide" and take Alabama -7. | https://www.teamspeedkills.com/2016/1/4/10707222/2016-national-championship-game-score-projection-alabama-crimson-tide-clemson-tigers | 453 |

Nigerians has often distinguished themselves in many overseas universities, with some of them emerging as valedictorians of their schools.
Last time, we reported a young man from Obowu Imo State breaking records abroad. This time again another Nigerian, Fathia Kareem by name set a record at the School of Medical Sciences of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana, breaking its academic history.

How to localize your product catalog automatically?
In this article, we will check out how to translate and localize your product catalog automatically. E.g. if you have another store, copied from your original one, that is in another language, you need to translate your entire product catalog, which can sometimes be quite time consuming.
1. First, make sure that your entire product catalog, all your products are copied from your original store to your brand new language version of your business.
3. Choose the Tasks tab and press the Upload to Google Sheets button. This will initiate a job that will upload all your products directly into a Google sheet.
5. After you open the table you will see which columns need to be translated. This can be just one column or several. Most often these are the columns with the product name, description, or short description. To translate the desired column you need to create another additional column next to it.
In the first row of it, you have to type the following thing: open a bracket and specify the line you want to be translated, in our case it's E2 (specify it by selecting it), then put a comma, and enter the abbreviation of the source language in quotes and the target language you want to translate your catalog to it also in quotes. Then close the brackets.
Once you have entered this information in the first row of your newly created column, the text in this first row will be translated into the target language. To translate all the information in the other rows below, you just need to double-click in the right corner of the first row of the new column.
This will load all the texts you need to translate into the target language, absolutely automatically.
6. Once all the information has been translated, copy the column name of the source language and paste it into the header of the new column into the target language. Then select and copy the new column, and paste it in place of the old one using the right mouse button, > Paste special > Paste values only. That will paste only the values, only the texts.
7. Аfter placing the column in place of the old one, you can delete the working column. You won´t need it anymore (the F column in our case).
8. You are free to correct the translated texts if you want to change something. Once you are done, get back to the admin panel of your store and press the button Download from Google Sheets. It will upload all the products from Google Sheets and update them into your store. Your entire product catalog will be automatically translated into the target language.
9. The only thing you need to do manually is the translation of the categories and the variants. But these are just a few words, the big work is already done automatically thanks to the integration of Google Sheets in your CloudCart store.
Take a look of the other possibilities you have with Google Sheets. | https://help.cloudcart.com/en/support/solutions/articles/77000493992-how-to-localize-your-product-catalog-automatically- | 608 |
For some liquid zeolite merchandise you would want to consider around one hundred bottles each day to get the appropriate dose. Many individuals are tricked into thinking that their liquid zeolite nutritional supplement is Performing simply because they are encountering a detox response. Sure, it is actually Doing work to some extent but The truth that you are enduring a reaction usually means You'll need a way greater dose. Employing a higher-quality zeolite powder can expedite your benefits and lower or get rid of the detox response, even in sensitive people today.
0wt% of coagulant, the addition of hardening agent are 2.0wt%; Explained zeolite can go through 250 purpose regular screens.Mentioned coagulant would be the combination of sodium sulfite and sodium sulfate, and reported hardening agent is a triethanolamine.Also be added Together with the softening agent of one.0wt% from the claimed zeolite powder.Said softening agent will be the mixture of Magnesium dilaurate and sodium laurate.
In processing, the ore is crushed, dried, and milled. The milled ore may be air-labeled as to particle size and transported in bags or bulk. The crushed products can be screened to eliminate fine material every time a granular item is required, and many pelletized goods are created from great content.
The industry generally depends on artificial zeolites, which can be pure and also have uniform constructions. Many of them don’t exist in character, for instance Zeolite A.
Remember to speak to your physician before beginning any work out or nutritional complement software or in advance of utilizing these or any merchandise all through pregnancy or When you've got a serious medical issue.
As a result of its blood clotting and antibacterial action, some scientists are investigating Zeolit medyczny whether zeolite can help with wound healing.
Can I Blend Rae supplements? Indeed, our universe of wellness solutions is meant to perform together. We advocate you end up picking our Multivitamin and include our other health supplements as suitable.
Every little thing I have described on this page is predicated off of my working experience and study with ZeoBoost™ . I are not able to speak to the quality of other zeolite solutions available on the market and these ideas might not implement.
The most important solitary use for zeolite is the worldwide laundry detergent sector. Zeolites are used in laundry detergent as h2o softeners, eliminating Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions which would normally precipitate from the solution.
Article-synthetic modification has been accustomed to combat this challenge With all the ADOR process,[53] whereby frameworks is usually Lower aside into layers and bonded again together by either eradicating silica bonds or which includes them.
Using synthetic zeolites in warm blended asphalt results in much easier compaction and, to a certain degree, makes it possible for cold climate paving and longer hauls.

Can I Negotiate My Tax Debt?
For many people, owing money to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is an uncomfortable reality. Because it is backed by the Federal government, the IRS maintains the right to place liens on property, garnish wages, seize assets and auction them off for a fraction of their true value, and issue bank levies that require submission of funds within twenty-one days.
Whew! It’s no small wonder that many people get intimidated and look for help to get out from under a tax debt problem. There is hope, however, and it is possible to negotiate tax debt with the IRS. In fact, the IRS can be a very patient creditor – as long as it knows that it will eventually get paid. Let’s take a closer look.
The first step to negotiating tax debt with the IRS is to take action and to not procrastinate. Throwing IRS notices into a drawer are a form of denial that will come with consequences in the form of late payment penalties and interest expense – and that’s in the best case scenario. Also, make certain to always file a tax return – even if the amount owed is too high to be paid off in one lump sum when filing, as penalties will often be higher absent a filing.
Once you’ve filed and determined that you cannot afford to pay your full tax liability, it’s time to pursue an installment agreement with the IRS. Installment agreements are quite common and involve making regular monthly payments for up to a period of five years, so long as the total liability does not exceed $50,000.
Partial Payment Installment Agreements take place when the IRS agrees to accept less than the full amount owed, when it is clear that monthly payments stretched over a period of many years will not cover the entire tax liability. An experienced tax attorney can help with calculating what the IRS might settle for given the individual specific circumstances involved with a potential partial payment installment agreement.
An Offer in Compromise is a form of debt settlement with the IRS in which the taxpayer makes an offer to pay for an amount that is considerably less than the full amount owed. Most offers in compromise are rejected – in fact only about one in seven are accepted by the IRS – and only in those instances when a firm case gets established that it’s actually in the best interests of the IRS to accept the offer.
In other words, it must be shown that the IRS won’t be able to recoup any more than the amount of the offer in compromise without further considerable expense to the agency. Offers in Compromise must be accompanied with payment of at least 20% of the tax debt, and are contingent upon proving extreme financial hardship in paying the full amount owed.
Meantime, it is also possible to pursue Currently Not Collectible status, following the IRS receiving evidence that a taxpayer lacks an ability to pay. Once status is granted, it becomes possible to file a collection appeal to prevent an IRS bank levy, property lien, or asset seizure.
There are important ancillary issues to consider related to the process of negotiating tax debt. For instance, when taxes have fallen past due, the Federal government can issue a wage garnishment or bank levy, either of which can have serious implications on personal financial matters.
In a wage garnishment scenario, the IRS contacts an employer, informs them of delinquent tax liabilities and instructs them to pay the IRS instead of the employee.
This is both costly and embarrassing, but upfront discussion with the IRS informing them of an inability to survive financially in the event of such wage garnishment can help stave off this outcome.
Similarly, in a bank levy scenario, a bank is informed of your delinquent tax debt and instructed to send an amount up to what is owed within twenty-one days of receiving the levy. Yikes. When resolving IRS debt, make certain to discuss forestalling or releasing any existing bank levies.
There is a little known statute of limitations in place when it comes to the IRS collecting on delinquent tax debt. Simply put, the Federal government has ten years from the date of assessment (usually the original filing date) to collect all tax monies owed to it.
A reputable tax attorney could come in handy in such a situation when the statute is close to expiring, as filling collection appeals can buy time in the face of pending wage garnishment and/or bank levies while making it more likely that the ten years elapse.
Finally, filing bankruptcy can absolve some or all tax debts – as Chapter 7 provides full discharge of allowable debts and Chapter 13 allows for discharge of some debts outside of an established payment plan. However, bankruptcy remains a last resort option that comes with long-term repercussions on a credit score and profile – so it should only be pursued with a full understanding of its benefits and drawbacks. | https://unitedsettlement.com/debt-settlement/can-i-negotiate-my-tax-debt/ | 1,018 |

PG&E details wish list / Bankrupt utility seeks legal waivers
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, December 20, 2001
Pacific Gas & Electric Co.'s plan to repay creditors and emerge from bankruptcy proceedings could conflict with as many as 37 state laws and regulations, the San Francisco utility said yesterday.
Company spokesman Ron Low said a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge will consider whether to let PG&E escape the regulations at a hearing Jan. 25.
In a 300-page court filing yesterday, PG&E also spelled out additional details of its reorganization plan, which it originally unveiled in September. But Low said, "there are no substantive changes."
As part of the plan, Lowe said PG&E plans to abide by thousands of other regulations and keep retail rates under control of the California Public Utilities Commission, where they would likely remain stable in the short term. Low said the firm would also follow local procedure to switch over its permits.
But PG&E also wants to shift 30 percent of its assets to its parent
PG&E Corp., beyond the purview of state regulators. That includes its long- distance natural gas and electrical transmission lines as well as its two remaining major power plants.
PUC officials have fiercely criticized the plan, complaining it essentially robs the local utility of many key assets and could possibly lead to higher rates. A PUC spokeswoman did not return a call seeking comment.
PG&E hopes to emerge from bankruptcy as early as the end of the second quarter next year. | 9bb5fed7a6109c13385a1e6a7888b464 | 313 |

The accusation of many Americans is that intolerance is equal to being unloving. That simply is not true. I understand that intolerance can be unloving, but it is not always the case. The Bible commands us to be both loving and intolerant of sinful behavior. However, we are not to let our intolerance be unloving. And it can become that very easily. Our fights are not with people but with sin and the author of sin, Satan.
The Bible says that God loved Jacob but hated Esau. And God can do that, he is God and can do as he pleases. But you and I are commanded to love everyone including our enemies. But at the same time we are not to tolerate, look the other way, or wink at sin.
The error is that to be tolerant is to be unloving. The very thing that many accuse Christians of, being unloving, is exactly what they are unknowingly are. If you love people, you tell them where they are wrong and you show them the correct way. If you love people, you tell them how they may have God and eternal life. The most unloving thing you can do is be silent on the matter.
But we are tell them with love not hate. I don’t want to fence in homosexuals and let them die out. I want to share the good news of Jesus Christ with them. I want to tell them that their sin of homosexuality is no worse than my sin or anyone else’s sin. But it is sin. And the wages of their sin, my sin, and anyone’s sin is death, both physical and spiritual death. Spiritual death culminates in being punished for our sins in hell for eternity. BUT Jesus came to live a perfect life that sinner can not. He died a death on the cross, so that we would not. He was raised from the dead, so that we will one day also rise. The answer for all sin is Jesus Christ.
So we are to love sinners–all sinners. Terrible sinners and trivial sinners. Worldly sinners and church sinners. We are to love everyone, no matter their sins but we are not to tolerate their sins because toleration is the epitamy of lovelessness. May God produce the fruit of love in us to cause us to love sinners (everyone), be intolerant of sin (all sin), and share the Gospel with sinners (all sinners). | ec31ce1852d770b7592255b8f662734a | 498 |

Honey Cardamom Cantaloupe Sorbet is a refreshing no-churn 5-minute cooling vegan shaved iced dessert made with melon, coconut milk, lemon, cardamom and a drizzle of honey (Bee Free Honee).
Ripe and in season cantaloupes, sometimes known as rockmelon or musk melon, are perfectly sweet and ready to eat. You are just going to love Honey Cardamom Cantaloupe Sorbet because it is the perfect way to cool down on warm summers day celebrating nature’s fruit candy.
The best part about making honey cardamom cantaloupe sorbet is that it only takes 5 minutes to make in the food processor and a few hours in the freezer and dessert is ready. This is a perfect make ahead dessert for any gathering.
Just use your fork to flake the honey cardamom cantaloupe sorbet into a little cup, ½ cantaloupe or martini glass or bowl and dessert is served. You are just going to love the texture of this sorbet as it is like delicious honey cardamom cantaloupe snowflakes on your tongue.
Our favorite part is when the snowflakes start to melt just a little bit and it is extra creamy, light and delicious.
We used coconut full fat milk instead of milk or cream to keep it dairy free but of course you could exchange with cream or milk if desired.
The addition of lemon and lemon zest really brightens this honey cardamom cantaloupe sorbet. With just a dusting of cardamom this lightly sweet cooling dessert really hits the spot. Perfect sweet ending to any meal.
Honey cardamom cantaloupe sorbet is dairy free, vegan and can be modified to be diabetic friendly by switching out the honey for a sugar substitute of choice. We like our desserts only lightly sweet so feel free to add more honey to suit your taste buds. We used Bee Free Honey made out of apples to keep this dessert vegan but you can use your sweetener of choice. Bee Free Honey tastes just like regular honey and the same consistency of honey, which we really liked. Feel free to use regular honey if you are not sticking with a vegan diet. For this recipe, using a type of honey or maple syrup works best because it does not have sugar granules. If you use a granulated sugar, you will need to first make this into a little simple syrup before adding to the Honey Cardamom Cantaloupe Sorbet.
1/4 cup Honey (or Bee Free Honee Vegan Honey for Vegans) - adjust to your sweetness level. Add 1 Tablespoon more if you like it sweeter or if your cantaloupe is not as sweet.
1Place chopped cantaloupe, coconut milk, juice of lemon, lemon zest, cardamom, salt and honey (or Bee Free Honee Vegan Honey) into the food processor. Blend until smooth.
2Place your blended cantaloupe mixture into a freezer safe Tupperware or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 4 hours or overnight.
3Remove your honey cardamom cantaloupe sorbet from the freezer and place on counter for about 5- 10 minutes before serving.
4Use a fork to scrape the delicious honey cardamom cantaloupe sorbet snowflakes into a cup, dish, martini glass or even a half of a cored cantaloupe and enjoy.

UNITED NATIONS, Apr 18 2015 (IPS) - Despite commitments by the international community to achieve universal primary education by 2015, funds for education have been decreasing over the past ten years, according to a report released Friday by the global advocacy campaign ‘A World at School’.
Figures from a Donor Scorecard show that nine of the top 10 donor governments, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France, have been reducing their aid since 2010. Norway is the only major donor that showed a five-percent increase in education funding over the past four years.
The scorecard will be presented on the first day of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s spring meetings, scheduled to run from Apr. 17-19 in Washington DC, to highlight the need for international financial institutions (IFIs) to target their funds towards nations with the most number of out-of-school children, and specifically towards hard to reach populations.
According to the report, “In 2011, the bank provided 20 percent — the smallest share — of its total aid to basic education to low-income countries. More than 70 percent of funding went to countries with less than 20 percent of the out-of-school population.
According to the Donor Scorecard, while investments in health have risen by 58 percent, those in education have fallen by 19 percent.
The report comes in the wake of worldwide “attacks” on education in 2014 and 2015, with war, conflict and terrorism destroying schools and interrupting the education of thousands of school going kids in places like Kenya, Pakistan, Syria, the Central African Republic and Gaza. The kidnapping of students in Nigeria and South Sudan are also major causes for concern.
According to a report released recently by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), about 58 million children are out of schools, and 100 million children do not complete primary education.
The UNESCO document also says education is still under-financed, affecting the poorest children, as many governments are not prioritising education as part of their national budgets.
There is an annual financing gap of 22 billion dollars over the 2015-2030 period for achieving quality pre-primary, primary and lower secondary education in lower- and middle-income countries, the report stated.
Campaigners with A world at School are calling for concrete aid strategies for basic education, which include the creation of a humanitarian fund for financing education in emergencies, and increasing aid initiatives for children in war-torn countries.

As an actor, the ultimate goal is having a really good character within an amazing storyline. Sometimes, the character is so far fetched from actual life that it is even more challenging for the actor to understand that person. Benjamin Patterson has placed himself in one of the best storylines on television today. As Noah, on the hit OWN Tv series Greenleaf, he was able to show a little range from his everyday life as a husband, father, and music artist.
It’s early afternoon and Benjamin is full of life during our phone interview. He’s riding home from the airport to see his husband and son after a long work week on the east coast. He’s telling me how fortunate he is about his shooting schedule with the show and how Oprah and the team at OWN have really taken his family into consideration. Being married for over 16 years is a wonderful thing, but, being a first-time father of a new baby boy, has been the highlight of this chapter of his life.
Filming away from your family is always hard. Add in the type of role that Benjamin is filming, one would think the stark contrast of life would be a little hard to portray. Well, only to an amateur actor. “I’m attracted to really good and creative characters,” Benjamin explains. “And as long as I am attracted to the character that I have to embody, and I stay true to that, there’s nothing that can pigeonhole me. It’s more of ‘Am I available to play that character’.
And that held very true to his character of Noah Kendall on Greenleaf. To think that the morality of the church was put under the microscope would be the wrong way to view this series.
The conditioning of swimming is probably the main contributor to the physique that Benjamin holds to date. While he knows where his limits lay, his concern is making sure that he can be an active father when his son is ready to get out and play. An avid skier and recent snowboarder, Benjamin looks to people like OWN president Eric Logan who is surfing at 5am just about every morning before going to work. While having such a high demand job, he admires the time that Eric gives himself every day. Benjamin devotes a good amount of his free-time to a different beat of the drum….literally.
Being a drummer for as far back as he can remember, it wasn’t a surprise when Benjamins love for music drifted into his father’s record collection. And eventually turned him into the house party DJ from 7th grade through college. If it was on vinyl, Benjamin owned it. He veers away from the 1’s and 2’s these days and sticks to his instruments (piano, bass, and electric guitar to be exact) and the love of his band, Sapphire Sky. While he still gets the urge to DJ from time to time, instead of being that old guy coming down talking about “back in my day we used to carry crates” he knows to let the “young cats” with 5000 songs on a zip drive and a laptop handle that…even if their skills are limited. Nonetheless, the memory that stands true and firm involves him, a basement, and a sacred Herbie Hancock album.

Q: SVG - resize tspan to fill all available space I have tspan element with some text in it. I specified some font-size for it as well. In addition I have parent's box size, i.e. width and height. So now I'd like my text to fit the box with the specified width and height.
One of the options I have is manually calculate string width and height (but it became more complicated in case of different fonts and browsers).
So is there any other way in SVG to resize tspan to necessary sizes? Please note that I want text font size to be changed properly, i.e. so text will be displayed in max font size and any single char from it will be visible.
A: Well, I've came up with the following solution - have absolutely positioned div element outside of visible area. Apply all fonts and other-related styles (except font size) from tspan to that div, put text into the div. Next try different sizes (you can use binary search for better performance) and measure div size. Once max font size found - apply it along with the text to tspan.

<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: Create sample data for 1.1?
username_0: Is sample data or templates for OCDS 1.1 on the to do list?
<issue_comment>username_1: There is some work in progress on fictional 1.1 data on the [1.1 branch](https://github.com/open-contracting/sample-data/tree/1.1/fictional-example) and some draft work there also on an [upgrade script](https://github.com/open-contracting/sample-data/blob/1.1/fictional-example/update.py) from 1.0 -> 1.1
We're hoping to get the repository updated to be 1.1 data over the coming week. Pull requests with updated samples/examples always welcome - as are ideas on which the most useful sample data is.
<issue_comment>username_0: Thanks for update. I will def try to share some sample data and i'll try to be more collaborative and submit some pull requests.
For the second part of your comment on ideas about which sample data are most useful:
- Sample data preferably in **csv** format that shows the full worked example of a stage or a building block... for me, sample data is just an example that may or may not cover the full schema... having the full worked example in csv is important for the non-technical audience who are not familiar with json schema. If you are a developer, you can figure out the schema... and you are used to reading json. (even tho sample data is still handy, because reading the manual is not as fun)
But for someone in an agency or for example a procurement specialist... it would be great help, if instead of giving a link to a standard documentation, if they can see worked example, with actual data that makes things "sink in"... it can be really useful and then they can figure out what data a specific organization has or what type of use cases can be done.
I think of specific building blocks or just one stage as useful because it is a logical grouping and less overwhelming, if someone is working with a block and needs to see how it actually looks like.... it is easy to find the corresponding block. If someone is working on a part of the process... (planning, tender, award, contract, implementation) - it is useful if they can see a worked example of the specific stage....
The full example is important, because then people don't need to cross check with schema.
I hope this is useful.
<issue_comment>username_2: @username_0 thanks for the thoughts - very useful.
I've made some updates the [1.1 sample data](https://github.com/open-contracting/sample-data/tree/1.1/fictional-example) which hopefully address some of your points:
* There are JSON examples of releases from each stage of a contracting process, including all of the changed and new fields in 1.1. These should include fully completed examples of all building blocks and sections (except some examples where building blocks are repeated, e.g. milestones aren't provided in every section)
* There are [XLSX versions](https://github.com/open-contracting/sample-data/tree/1.1/fictional-example/flattened) of each release - based on the structure of the input template we designed for the PPP project.
It would be great to get your feedback on whether these meet your needs and suggestions/pull requests for improvements.
Thanks!
<issue_comment>username_3: The 1.1 branch is merged and we've partially responded to the feedback. In general, I agree that worked examples are a good practice in standard documentation. We can open an issue on standard to pursue this further.<issue_closed> | 26351553 | 858 |
– Lunch on campus is a time for students to kick back and relax, but at Eckerd College students are also thinking green when they pick up their greens.
Some students are now showing environmental caring by carrying a green, plastic take-out box called the EcoClamshell.
“It’s better for the environment and you don’t have to throw it away,” says marine biology major Chelsea Link.
The whole thing started about two years ago when then Eckerd sophomore Audrey Copeland started thinking outside the box. She started researching how much polystyrene was being thrown away on campus. More than 10,000 boxes a year filling the local landfill didn’t sit right with Copeland and with the help of a $32,000 grant from the Environmental Research and Education Foundation the reusable EcoClamshell was born.
“There’s not a lot of things these days where you can say it’s good for the environment and it saves money up front and this particular system does,” says Copeland.
Students pay $5 for an EcoClamshell and when they come to the campus café, they exchange a used one for one that’s been sanitized in the café’s industrial dishwasher.
Marine Biology major Jayce G says it’s all pretty simple, “As a science major I’ve always cared about the environment and just didn’t want to throw away as much garbage.”
The green box that looks so much like a white polystyrene container is such a simple thing, you’re surprised that no one had thought of it before; and maybe the did, but it took a young woman concerned about the environment to make it happen.
“Yeah, I’m very proud of it. I think it’s a good thing,” says Copeland.
For more information on the EcoClamshell you can email Copeland at [email protected] or click here.

I call this particular action “The Velocity Enhancing Move” because in my opinion, after years of observation, these particular series of moves are the single most important aspects of throwing velocity. Timing of the hand raise + arm swing in relation to the front foot (the anchor) touching down to the ground. As a byproduct of this move what I’ve seen happen is an extremely efficient flow into creating Authentic Hip/Shoulder Separation as well as releasing rotational energy “torque” at the right time AND in line towards our desired target.
This particular article will feature breakdowns of some of the games best + hardest throwing pitchers including Max Scherzer, Gerrit Cole, Jordan Hicks, and Aroldis Chapman.
Let’s take a quick look at this move done flawlessly by Jordan Hicks.. who throws kinda hard.. check it out.
If you want personalized 1 on 1 feedback of your pitching mechanics like you will see in the video below I’d encourage you to explore the option of signing up for a Mechanical Analysis. If you want to save $100 on personalized monthly workout programs designed to equip you with the needed stability + strength to throw harder, move better, and recover quicker click 90 MPH Formula Remote Programming. And lastly, if you want an entire eBook dedicated to efficiently developing velocity click Velocity Development eBook. Now let’s take a look at the first video in which I’ll explain this dang thing.
Now we’ll give you a better visual breaking down this move performed by two dudes who are pretty decent when it comes to throwing a baseball..
Ok now that you got a pretty good visual of this move done exceptionally well let’s now take a look at one of my Mechanical Analysis clients who leaves a ton of potential velocity on the table by not accomplishing a move like this..
Here’s the thing about this move.. it’s happening sooo frickin fast that it’s not something I’d ever tell one of my athlete’s to consciously “think” about when throwing a baseball. Instead we optimize separate things that will in turn help aid in accomplishing this move.
First we would identify which piece to the individuals delivery needs the most attention. More often times than not it will start with optimizing the hand path and the arm action connectivity. We go thru a series of progressions until we find the specific progressions that provide us with excellent feedback and hammer those until we create new motor control patterns for the path in which his hand takes.
Secondly we would progress with increasing Forward Momentum + Acceleration because now we have an ability to keep our hands connected throughout our drive phase. Same process.. find the progressions that provide the best feedback and work towards instilling new motor patterns that the body needs to increase acceleration into anchor point. During this stage we need to make sure the athlete has the required stability to accomplish an efficient forward move without having a drive leg breakdown. For more context on that be sure to checkout the article Forward Momentum Without Drive Leg Stabilization.
Lastly we would then progress with optimizing the individuals Authentic Hip/Shoulder Separation by isolating the hips + the trunk. I’ve typically seen the trunk rotation be a byproduct of hand raise/arm swing but ya never know. For more context on that be sure to checkout the article Early Arm Raise + Limited Pitching Velocity.
This is why I put so much emphasis on the importance of my 1 on 1 Remote Coaching service because as you can already imagine this takes time, precision, and intentional training. With my coaching service you’ll have access to weekly screenings + breakdowns which will better service this move being approached correctly.
Now for good measure let’s breakdown the Velocity Enhancing Move pulled off extremely well by Aroldis Chapman.. take a look..

A BARNARD Castle nursery has announced expansion plans in an effort to provide youngsters with an improved learning environment.
Green Lane Nursery is preparing to take over the existing reception classroom at the neighbouring primary school.
An additional outdoor space will be transformed into an eco garden.
Nursery manager Mel Mitchell said: “We have always wanted more space.
“We have outgrown this room now. It is going to be great to have an extra space and another outdoor area that we can develop.
“We plan to reduce numbers in our current rooms while still adhering to the correct ratios of adults to children.
“We believe this will help us to ensure all children receive a more personalised and unique experience.”
Work is due to start next month.
It is hoped the new space will be up and running when the children return from their Easter holidays.
Ms Mitchell said: “We have lots of ideas for our new room and existing space to continue to develop our setting so that it is a home from home for all children.
“We also plan to develop the new outdoor area into a space where children are learning real-life skills and the need to respect and care for our environment.
“We hope this will raise awareness of important issues such as recycling and growing your own food.”
She added: “An eco garden will also develop a sense of pride and ownership in the children generating respect for other local green spaces.”
As part of the changes, staff and children in the school’s early years department are also on the move.
Reception children will be taught in a bigger space. The room, which is currently used to host after school clubs, will be transformed into a forest school.
Deputy headteacher and early years leader, Nic Linsley, said: “We are really passionate about forest school.
“We are hoping to create a forest school inside and outside with natural resources and teach the children about the environment. We are really excited.”
The new early years space also features a large outdoor area which will be transformed.
It will include an outdoor kitchen and tyre swing as requested by the children.

These are exciting times for neurons. IBM has neuromorphic chip arrays, Duke has functional networks of mammalian brains while UW is linking humans, and Ohio State is growing human brains to 5-week structure.
Before getting too excited about transhuman consciousness uploads, remember that we still don’t really understand how the brain’s cells and circuits work. If you start getting confident that modern medicine has humans figured out, just ask any two experts to explain dopamine.
This does bring hope, though, that we’re going to see some interesting advances in bio-based or -inspired computing and brain interfacing in the next decade. And neuromorphic hardware of any sort has the potential to move more “smarts” down from the cloud so our agents can be more personal. | https://hans.gerwitz.com/2015/11/14/brains.html | 180 |

As a large number of volunteers are expected to travel to the tornado-hit areas of South Moravia over the long weekend, the coordinators of the relief effort have issued guidelines to ensure that the process runs smoothly. Above all, volunteers are asked to report directly to the volunteer contact points established in Hodonín and Břeclav for deployment.

Czech Rep., July 2 (BD) – South Moravian regional authorities are expecting large numbers of volunteers to travel to tornado-affected areas in the Hodonín and Břeclav districts this weekend. To ensure that the operation runs smoothly, coordinators of the relief effort have put some basic rules in place for volunteers.
Photo: Area affected by the tornado. Credit: Jan Kostík / oddělení dokumentace / MV-GŘ HZS ČR / 2021.
The most important instruction is that anyone wishing to help should go first to one of the two volunteer contact points established at the Hodonín House of Culture and the car park at Břeclav Airport. They will then be taken by shuttle bus to where their help is needed. The relief effort is most in need of volunteers with craft skills, especially if they can bring their own tools. Most other volunteers will be deployed to clean up the areas surrounding the affected villages.
Significant progress has already been made clearing debris from the villages that were devastated by last Thursday’s tornado, into three designated landfill facilities in the area. Jiří Pelikán, director of the South Moravian fire brigade, estimated that up 50 to 60% of the area of the villages has now been cleared. Temporary tarpaulin roofs have been installed on damaged houses, and most residents have now been reconnected to gas power. The Czech Army and fire services are continuing with the clean-up effort, and volunteer help is greatly needed and appreciated. According to Jan Grolich, Governor of South Moravia, the clean-up operation is now moving to the fields and vineyards surrounding the villages.

Instead, there is a great demand for construction materials, and skilled workers to help with rebuilding. Over 150 houses are designated for demolition, and this number will keep rising as structural engineers carry out surveys on the damaged buildings. Klára Dostálová, Czech Minister for Regional Development, said that CZK 500,000 will be provided to the inhabitants of each house which has to be demolished, to assist with the costs of rehousing and rebuilding. 80 psychologists are in the affected areas to provide support for those who have lost their homes.
Photo: Houses affected by the tornado. Credit: Jan Kostík / oddělení dokumentace / MV-GŘ HZS ČR / 2021.
Six people lost their lives as a result of the tornado. All other people are accounted for, and this total is not expected to rise any further.
Most importantly, the coordinators are asking all volunteers to report to one of the two designated contact points: Hodonín House of Culture and the car park at Břeclav Airport. Volunteers can park at these locations, and coordinators will then send them by shuttle bus to where they are most needed.
Do not enter the affected villages without authorisation, as the roads must be kept clear for the heavy machinery operating in the cleanup.
Do not bring material assistance, as the operation is well-stocked for food, clothes, medicine etc, and storage is becoming a logistical problem.
Most needed are skilled workers with their own tools. Other volunteers will mostly be sent to help clean-up the surrounding fields and vineyards, which were also heavily damaged by the tornado.
Be careful when working or moving around the village or surrounding areas, and wear sturdy shoes, work clothes, and gloves.
Do not call local authorities directly, as all staff are extremely busy with the relief effort. The two contact points have up-to-date information, and staff on hand to tell you anything you need to know.
Go home at the end of the day: temporary facilities such as showers are available, but no accommodation is available for volunteers, and it would be helpful to the crisis response coordinators if you arrive in the morning and leave at the end of the day.
The region has set up a website at https://dobrovolnici.jmk.cz/ with all the necessary information for volunteers. The website will gather up-to-the-minute information about the state of the relief effort, the type and amount of help needed, and any changes to the situation.

Last week we discussed about the career option for people who love wine. Today we will know all about the career option of a personal shopper.
Shop for a living! Sounds really interesting? Are you the one who is often consulted by friends and family for suggestions regarding their attire and look? If yes, then you can consider taking up the option of a personal shopper. There are busy people who have the budget to buy high end designer brands like Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo or an Armani but have no idea how to wear and carry it, that’s where you step in and guide them how to look beautiful and confident. Your job may revolve around buying designer or non-designer clothes, accessories, shoes, make-up, home furnishings, gifts, and groceries for your clients.
Who can fit in?
Shop till you drop! Ever heard of it? If you want to become a personal shopper, you need to love shopping. Excellent interpersonal skills, charming personality, good communication skills, patience, enthusiasm and energy are some of the qualities that a personal shopper need to possess. You must have the ability to relate with people coming from different backgrounds, age and other demographics. Most importantly, you must have an amazing fashion sense and the skill to choose the right dress, accessories and shoes that will suit an individual. You must have an eye for detail and interact with your clients regularly to uncover their needs.
You need to know everything about the fashion world, update yourself on all the latest trends and designs and know about the market and keep up with the sales and discount. A personal shopper is the one who helps their clients in shopping and also advise them to choose the right outfit and accessories that suits their personality and class. The job also involves understanding the taste of a particular client and shop for them according to their needs. The job also requires styling the candidate in a way that is unique and classy. Personal shoppers must also possess the ability to create a combination of styles depending on the physical attributes of the client in-order to know which style suits them the most. Apart from buying clothing, the job may also include buying accessories, shoes, make-up, home furnishings, gifts and groceries for your clients.
The concept of personal shopper is yet to take off in India but has huge opportunities especially in the metros looking at the busy lifestyle of the people. In India, a personal shopper can earn anywhere between INR 10,000 to INR 40,000 depending on your work and experience.
Where can a personal shopper work?
You can work for online stores, boutiques, clothing stores, high end brands, department store, or shopping centre. You can also be hired by busy and rich individuals to shop for them, their employees or family. You can also start your own business or freelance your skills to gain experience.
Let the people know about your business. Advertise as much as you can. Put ads in places so that it reaches out to your desired audience. Be the one who is reliable and knowledgeable and you will be known all around.
There is a lot of stress involved in this career path. Irregular working hours and meeting deadlines can be a tough one. You also might need to work on weekends. Taking leaves can also be quite impossible in this domain. Handling such reputed and high end clients also involves a lot of pressure. Since the scope is not that huge in a developing country like India so the job options may not be abundant. You really need to have the passion for fashion and shopping as this field also involves a lot of hard work and unacceptability in the market. Also, after so much of hard work the salary might not be that amazing.
If you love shopping and want to make a living out of it, wait no more. Personal shopper is your calling!
Share with us if you have something to add about personal shoppers.

The visiting Portland Pickles scored six times in the top half of the first inning Wednesday night and hung on for an 8-7 victory over the Walla Walla Sweets in the second game of a three-game West Coast League baseball series at historic Borleske Stadium.
Portland improved its record to 5-9 while the Sweets, who lead the WCL South Division by 1.5 games over second-place Ridgefield, slipped to 9-2.
The rubber game of the set, which will be proceeded by Bud Light Batting Practice and $1 Del Taco tacos for fans in attendance, is set for Thursday night at 6:35.
Portland collected four hits and benefited from three walks during their first-inning uprising. John Arndorfer led off with a single against Walla Walla starting pitcher Andrew Mosiello. Two outs later, John Jensen, John Burghardt, and Jonathan Kelly drew walks to force in the first run of the frame. Colton Cassinelli followed with a bloop single to center that scored three runs and gave the Pickles a 4-0 lead. Alex Shanks deposited the first delivery he saw from Mosiello over the left-field wall to complete the scoring in the inning.
The Sweets got a run back in the bottom of the first. Patrick Caulfield reached base on an error, stole second and, with two out, scored on a Jordan Stubbings’ double off the base of the left-center field wall.
Portland got that run back in the top half of the second inning. Alex Lambeau connected for a one-out single and scored on a Kyle Manzardo double.
Walla Walla relief pitchers Nate Dahle and Charles Harrison combined to blank the Pickles in innings three through six and thus gave the Sweets an opportunity to scrap their way back into the game.
The Sweets scored twice in the third inning. Caulfield led off with a walk and moved to second on a botched pick-off attempt. He went to third when Carson Green reached on an error. Ben Fariss scored Caulfield with an infield single to third. On the play, Green moved to third and Fariss to second on a throwing error by Kelly. Fariss crossed the plate later in the stanza to make it a 7-3 game.
Walla Walla produced two more runs in the fifth with two out and no one on base. Fariss and Stubbings singled back-to-back. Caleb Farmer sent Fariss scurrying home and Stubbings to third with a single to right field. Stubbings later scored on a balk to bring the Sweets within two, 7-5.
Harrison experienced the lone blemish on his pitching record in the seventh when he uncorked a wild pitch that resulted in Portland’s final run of the game.
Walla Walla staged a furious comeback in the bottom of the ninth. Caulfield and Green were hit by pitches from Pickles’ reliever Joey Morris. With two out, Farmer brought in Caulfield with a single deep in the hole at shortstop. Emanuel Dean swatted the last of his three singles to bring in Green and send Farmer to third. Conner Thurman replaced Morris and, after allowing Dean to advance to second on defensive indifference, delivered a called third strike to Cesar Lopez to end the game.
Wednesday’s game was the Sweets third consecutive one-run contest. They lost at Wenatchee, 11-10, on Sunday and nipped Portland on Tuesday, 3-2. | https://wallawallasweets.com/2019/06/20/pickles-relish-in-win-over-sweets/ | 742 |
i live in an apt building. and if i order a car from inside the apartment and don't manually drag the pin to the front street, the pin is automatically placed on the parallel back street. so i ordered a car once to to go my Uni's 10 year reunion, all dolled up and in heels i rarely wear cause they're uncomfortable. the guy stops on the back street and because i was in said heels i didn't want to haul my ass over to the car. i call him and explain he should turn on my street and pick me up. the man is obtuse and repeats ceaselessly that he is waiting at the pin, that's where the pin is, and he's in the correct location.
no matter how much i tried to convince him to just turn 50m onto my street, he would not listen. i cancelled. and of course, when i ordered another car, he was the one closest. so i got to ride with him and argue the whole way about the location issue. no matter how much i tried to tell him that, as a courtesy, he should've come get me - he kept saying he was at the correct location.
needless to say that he managed to screw up the arrival, as well and took a big detour through a parking lot and i again had to walk a bit too long for my liking to get to my destination.
i thought that 1/5 was more than fair. | 4f59c3be0b1f4ec7abd761dc1b4e34d7 | 303 |
Mary was on the radio!
Oh my, oh my, oh my!! What exciting days these are for our foundation. On Sunday, 9/17 and again on Tuesday, 9/19, Mary was on the RADIO! The story begins at ACE Hardware (as so many of our stories do). A woman named Michelle Gaddis came into the store and asked Bob to make a key for her. A long story short, they began talking about the foundation to the point that Michelle was moved to tears (her words). Michelle went home and told her husband, Cleve, about the foundation. Well….Cleve is a radio host on Newstalk 1160 in Atlanta and before much time had passed, Cleve had called Mary and asked her to be on his show.
A side story here will illustrate how often things work in our foundation world. It’s our belief that NOTHING IS BY CHANCE! Cleve, as well as being a radio host, is a real estate broker. And he was was hosting another guest on his show whose house Cleve was selling and who is in the roofing industry. And who BTW had donated his kidney to someone. Thus the segway!
This was all done first by phone. On Tuesday afternoon, Mary stopped running errands and sat in her car to listen in. She was a bundle of nerves in anticipation of what she was going to sound like. But all went well. For a first-time radio personality (!), she did a pretty good job of letting people know what we are all about.
Thank you, Cleve, for this incredible opportunity.
OH….the icing on the cake? Cleve and his co-worker, Alfie, donated $500.00 to the foundation. Incredible generosity.
September 14, 2017….another super day in the life of our foundation. I was privileged to present our foundation to a senior networking group called Atlanta Senior Care Network Niche. And before I got up to speak, I was introduced and given a donation of $1,000.00! It has been an interesting journey getting acquainted with quite a number of senior networking groups. The people involved represent so many different parts of the senior industry, from care givers, to financial planners, to movers…, to people in the medical profession…I could go on and on and on. To say I’m having the time of my life would be an understatement. And for me to have imagined, even a year ago, that I would be comfortable doing what I’m doing….well let’s just say I couldn’t have! I truly feel like I have found my special purpose in life, the purpose that God intended for me all along.
On August 29th, Bob and Mary brought boxed lunches to CHOA meet with four of the social workers that we will be working closely with. Each one represented a specific solid organ. We met with the ones working with hearts (Molly Dugan), livers (Cindy deSa), kidneys (David Cooper) and intestinal rehab (Anne Sanders). What stood out the most to both of us was their dedication to their small patients. Mary specifically asked them if they fall in love with their patients and they all said a resounding “YES!” And they also added that when they lose a patient, they grieve them. It’s hard to imagine a more difficult job.
At CHOA, kids aren’t simply tiny adults. They need specialized pediatric care. The CHOA staff are committed to making all kids better today and healthier tomorrow.
Many different conditions can lead to the transplant of solid organs. Transplants are not necessarily congenital, as some might assume. The transplant program at CHOA provides 1) pre-transplant evaluations, 2) wait list levels and donor process information, 3) patient matching processes, 4) care before transplant, 4) care during transplant and 5) care after transplant. And part of the role of the social workers is to connect with the families (care givers) of their patients. The Evans family is very familiar with being the care givers and it is that part of the social workers’ jobs that we understand the most. And it is what we are most passionate about. In regards to our foundation and our apartments, the social workers are the professionals who recommend a family to the Georgia Transplant Foundation for use of our apartments.
Liver Transplant Program: They are home to one of the largest pediatric liver transplant programs in the country. They have performed more than 500 liver transplants on infants, children and young adults, and have some of the shortest wait times in the country.
Heart Transplant Program: Their pediatric heart transplant team has performed more than 350 heart transplants on children with survival rates that are better than the national average.
Kidney Transplant Program: For more than 30 years, they have been a pioneer in pediatric kidney transplantation. They have wait times and patient survival rates that are better than the national average. They have performed more than 675 kidney transplants.
Adolescent and Young Adult Transplant Program: They provide the resources to help make the transition to adulthood as smooth as possible. Their “I Own It” Clinic is specially designed for their liver, heart and kidney transplant patients ages 14 to 21.
CHOA treats patients from birth to age 21. Most families of the patients stay at the Ronald McDonald House and they are so grateful for that resource. Our apartments will in no way compete with the Ronald McDonald House; we will supplement it.
It was absolutely wonderful to finally meet these people. Our hope is that we will be able to accommodate their patients and care givers in any way possible. Sometimes an apartment, with total privacy, will be the best thing for a child and his/her care giver. And that is why our foundation exists. | 7fbcc63c54b49df90c6e0b11c544877f | 1,216 |
This is the sign on our front door…you’d be surprised how it deflects both door-to-door salesman and rogue missionaries! And it’s only partly true.

He is mostly patient, tolerant, compassionate, and kind…BUT, if you’re mean-spirited, gossipy, arrogant, self-centered, or any way bigoted, you’d best NOT knock on our door!
After discovering that some of the life-partners I picked early in my life were lacking in the various virtues I admired most (intelligence, kindness, good humor, compassion), I felt like the luckiest woman in the world when Albert and I found each other on an archaeology project in 2000. I joke that he saw me at my worst and my best–four feet under ground in a 3 foot by 3 foot excavation unit, grubby, sweaty, and grinning like crazy at the wonderful adventure of pursuing my passion–archaeology. We share that passion–and so many others (blush, blush!)… And he’s one of the smartest, kindest, FUNNIEST people I’ve ever known…our life together has been the very best part of my life!

Simplified but: we can get to heaven because of Jesus’ self-sacrifice. However we must make that choice, by faith which is demonstrated by continually choosing to follow him. We also believe (very logically) that nothing impure or sinful can stand in the presence of God. So during our life we’re supposed to, with God’s grace, become good holy people, detached from all sin and anything earthly. If we don’t manage to achieve this by our deaths (but were trying) we wind up in purgatory for a while to finish the process.
Since Jesus founded the Catholic Church, which provides us with various means of sanctification, we also have to follow the Church’s precepts and accept its sacraments. To knowingly do otherwise would be rejecting God’s offer of salvation. | 8d135128d0f94995a8395d6108580ef8 | 178 |
*The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up* is popular for a reason. I've been 'decluttering' my whole life but there are a few key things that Kondo does differently that make me feel closer than ever to finally being decluttered. If it weren't for some of my items having monetary value, I would have no problem throwing them out today. Before reading the book I was so much more sentimental about objects I just don't care about anymore.
/u/Wonderpuff's post is good in these comments.

Key points you don't want to miss:
- Lay out all your belongings in categories. [It's so easy to have multiple items that do the same thing. It also doesn't feel like as many items when they aren't all in the same room. I didn't strictly follow this for categories where I was already getting rid of 95% of items. Putting all the items together helps reduce the sentimentality, I think. 'I have *all this* stuff - where will it go? Do I need all of it?']
- Detach from obligations of other people giving you stuff. Just because they gave you something doesn't bind you to it for life. The gift giver did not want you to be miserable.
It's not a cult, so feel free to skip parts of it you don't like. I personally don't thank my objects for anything. | bdc12ed0fca0495e8bf2969d087bce57 | 342 |
Announced at BlizzCon 2019 (see reveal panel), Blizzard was staying tight-lipped about the Diablo 4 release date but it will not release in 2021. In typical Blizzard fashion, they would not provide an exact release date as they stated the game is still in the early stages of development. They issued the following statement after the announcement in 2019:
This comes with a caveat; we’re still a way out from launch. Because we’re heads down in development, we’re not launching a dedicated forum for Diablo IV yet.
However, we still want you to feel welcome to discuss the game amongst yourselves. While we may not be able to answer all your burning questions, we are committed to sharing updates with the community and participating when we can.
Beginning next year, we will be providing quarterly updates regarding the progress of Diablo 4’s development. This might take the form of a blog or a developer post here, which we’ll sticky and leave open for ongoing discussion until the next update is available.
We’ll also keep an updated table of contents of all updates in this post so you’ll have a convenient place to refer to them over the course of development. We’ve included all the news coming out of this weekend so far to get you started.
Thanks for patiently awaiting this next chapter, and we’ll see you in Hell!

Diablo 4 Release Date Calculations
Although there were only three years between the release of Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 under Blizzard North’s guidance, there were twelve years between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. Blizzard North closed down and development moved to Blizzard HQ in Irvine which delayed development.
Diablo 3 was announced in 2008 and took four more years of production before it was ready for release in 2012. The development of Diablo 3 started as early as 2001. Only two characters were revealed when Diablo 3 was announced, the Witch Doctor and the Barbarian.
Looking at the previous release date timelines, it would be reasonable to assume that Diablo 4 could be another three to four years away from release meaning the Diablo 4 release date could be in 2023.
There is one unexpected issue that has arisen during development in 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic. Blizzard had to shift most development from working in the Irvine office to staff working from home.
It’s not known how much of an impact this has had on development in 2020. This could push the Diablo 4 release date back 6-12 months depending on the disruption. However, Blizzard did successfully pivot to a working from home model during the pandemic.
During the Activision Blizzard financial call in February 2021, they stated that Diablo 4 would not be released in 2021 which was to be expected.
The announcement of Diablo 2 Resurrected at BlizzCon in February 2021 should placate the fans somewhat while development continues on Diablo 4.
Diablo 4 and what we know
Despite the game being some way off from release, Blizzard has already released a lot of information. There are four classes, Barbarian, Druid, Rogue, and Sorceress to start with. More will be announced in the future.
There have also been numerous developer updates since the game was announced which includes rudimentary information on items, the game’s open world, mounts, and more (see top navigation under Diablo 4).
A good place to start for a better understanding of what’s coming in Dibalo IV check the FAQ.

Was Blizzard Ready to Announce Diablo 4?
There has to be some speculation that perhaps Blizzard was not quite ready to announce Diablo 4 in 2019. Prior to the announcement in 2019, Blizzard had a tough BlizzCon in 2018 when they announced the mobile game Diablo: Immortal.
At the convention, fans were eager for a Diablo 4 announcement. The core fanbase was hugely disappointed with the mobile announcement. They were hoping for a full-blown game for PC and consoles.
Blizzard came under fire from fans during the BlizzCon 2018 Q&A. This prompted Blizzard developer Wyatt Cheng to say to the audience, “Do you guys not have phones?”. This response did not go down well and became a meme when mentioning Diablo: Immortal or even Diablo 4.
Even though fans were not expecting a Diablo 4 release date, they were at hoping for some morsel of information on the next game. | 9045d68fc50fb79c51a3ef3093364bbe | 914 |
Medically reviewed by Melisa Puckey, BPharm. Last updated on Oct 29, 2021.
A number of clinical trials have been completed using fluvoxamine to treat COVID-19 patients. The results of clinical trials so far have not been clear, or have limitations making it difficult to draw definite conclusions.
Some trials show fluvoxamine to be effective in treating COVID-19, as it reduces the time spent in hospital and decreases the risk of death, while other trials showing no significant difference in health outcomes.
The current National Institutes of Health (NIH) COVID-19 treatment guidelines report that there is insufficient evidence either for or against the use of fluvoxamine for the treatment of COVID-19.
More trials using fluvoxamine to treat COVID-19 need to be done so that there is more specific, evidence based information that can be used to decide whether it can be recommended for COVID-19 treatment. These need to be randomized controlled studies that have large sample sizes and are well designed.
Is fluvoxamine an FDA approved Medicine?
Fluvoxamine (original brand name: Luvox) is an FDA approved medicine used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder.
Fluvoxamine is not FDA approved to treat COVID-19.
In the TOGETHER trial (NCT04727424) fluvoxamine showed positive results and was effective treating COVID-19 by reducing the risk of hospitalization for patients at risk of progressing to severe disease. This was a randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled trial with 741 patients taking fluvoxamine and 756 taking placebo.
The study showed that patients who were treated with fluvoxamine were more stable and their COVID-19 did not deteriorate as much when compared to placebo patients. This was measured by the number of patients being admitted to a higher level of care, either a COVID-19 emergency setting or transferred to a tertiary hospital.
relative risk reduction of 32%.
Fluvoxamine patients who had early treatment were less likely to get severe COVID-19 symptoms when compared to the placebo patients, so less likely to be hospitalized.
How does fluvoxamine work for COVID-19?
Fluvoxamine is being used to treat COVID-19 as it has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect and also has an effect on immune cells.
It does this by binding to sigma-1 receptors in immune cells which lowers production of inflammatory cytokines. The overproduction of cytokines is one of the causes of symptoms of COVID-19.
Fluvoxamine is an FDA approved medicine for treatment of OCD, it is not an approved medicine for treatment of COVID-19.

MARK COLVIN: The Federal Water Minister Penny Wong has formed a scientific committee to advise on the crisis in the River Murray's Lower Lakes.
The six-member panel of scientists will advise the Government on its long-term plans for the fragile Coorong and Lower Lakes region near the mouth of the river.
The Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett announced today that he was putting off a decision on whether to allow a weir to be built on the Murray near Wellington, to ensure Adelaide's water supplies.
And a doctor working in the region has warned that he's seeing more cases of Ross River virus and gastroenteritis as the water quality in the area gets worse.
NANCE HAXTON: It's a sign of how concerned the Federal Government is becoming about the deteriorating state of the Coorong and Lower Lakes region.
The six-member committee includes the former chief executive of the Murray Darling Basin Commission Don Blackmore and ecologist Associate Professor David Paton from Adelaide University.
Federal Water Minister Senator Penny Wong says her number one priority for the new committee is how best to avoid acidification.
Committee member and environmental science professor Richard Kingsford says the expert panel has a tough task ahead.
RICHARD KINGSFORD: The major issue that's driving a lot of management at the moment is the potential for acid sulphate soils to get into the system and so we've seen quite a lot of building of structures down there to try and isolate that problem.
I guess everybody knows that the fundamental problem is that there's not enough water coming down the system and hasn't been for some time.
NANCE HAXTON: While fellow committee member Adelaide University Associate Professor Keith Walker says it's already too late to return the Coorong region to what it once was.
KEITH WALKER: Well I think, especially in view of the predictions of a warmer, dryer future we need to accept that the Lakes can never really be returned to what they once were. That the system will be different in future, but that's not to say that it's necessarily an unhealthy option.
NANCE HAXTON: The formation of the expert group coincides with Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett again deferring a decision on whether to allow the construction of a weir or dam wall at Wellington, separating the River Murray from the Lower Lakes.
The South Australian Government is considering the radical measure to secure Adelaide's drinking water, by cutting off the Lower Lakes from the river.
Mr Garrett says he decided to extend the timeframe for a decision on the Wellington Weir until early next year so he could seek advice from scientific experts about the proposal.
The weir has divided the South Australian community, with many people on the Lower Lakes saying that cutting off the region from its fresh water supply would be its death knell.
The Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young says Mr Garrett has had enough time to make up his mind on the issue.
SARAH HANSON-YOUNG: The Environment Minister has had months and months to be able to knock this project on its head. We know that it's a bad solution; it's not even a solution for securing good fresh water for Adelaide.
All it is going to do is make the situation worse, kill off the Lower Lakes and the Coorong, sacrifice them in the vein hope of saving the rest of the river, without understanding that the cancer is going to spread upstream.
NANCE HAXTON: In a further sign that time is running out for the Coorong, a local doctor has sounded a warning bell about deteriorating water quality.
Dr Michael Kerrigan from the Coorong medical clinic says more mosquitoes are coming to the region as the Lakes dry out, bringing an increase of Ross River virus with them.
MICHAEL KERRIGAN: In a normal year we would see a maximum 10 cases a year and we've already seen four just through September.
NANCE HAXTON: SA Health says it will investigate the claims if provided with more solid evidence.
But Dr Kerrigan says children who swim in the lakes are increasingly getting gastroenteritis and eye and ear infections, showing the river's declining health is impacting on people too.
MICHAEL KERRIGAN: With what the Government is projecting will happen to the two lakes this year and in the years to come I expect the problem will increase significantly and it will become a major health issue for our community.
