May 19, 2014 Not that long ago, things like robot vacuum cleaners or self-guided lawn mowers seemed like science fiction. Now, nobody bats an eye at a robot scooting around the living room. So how long will it be before we're getting around in cars that don't need drivers? Just a few years, according to Google. The company has developed a prototype which is apparently now ready for its biggest test: the demands of the city. Justin Webb, who's with Stateside partner BBC, went for a test drive at Google headquarters, and joined us to describe the experience. Hit the jump to see what it looks like to be in a driverless car by watching Google's video.

Vallegrande. Another day. Samaipata & Santa Cruz. Sometime in 1966 on a remote farm not far from here (Vallegrande, Bolivia) Che Guevara along with a rag tag team of militants set up a military camp. He hoped to liberate South America from social oppression and American Imperialism. He helped Castro topple the Fulgencia Batista Cuban dictatorship in 1959. As such was granted senior positions in the Castro government. But Guevara wanted to come to the aid of Communist regimes all over the world — he tried to convince Castro that the this was their destiny. But as Ché prepared to journey to Africa to fight for Communism in the Congo, Castro forced him to sign a letter of resignation — communicating clearly that he and Cuba condemned these military activities. After some success in the Congo, Ché wanted nothing to do with Castro’s bureaucratization of Marxists ideals, so he took his cause back home — to Latin America. Vallegrande Plaza and clock tower. And that brings us to Vallegrande and his remote military camp some miles away. Why Bolivia? Its location was strategically important. From this base in central Bolivia Ché had access to the borders of Chile, Argentina, Peru, Brazil and Paraguay all just hours away. His plan was to convince Communist leaders throughout the continent to join him in revolution. But a meeting with the leader of the Bolivian communist party turned fateful for Che — he would not gain their support and therefore was on his own. He then marched through the farms of the campesino trying to convince the people that they were oppressed and inspire the poor to fight for social revolution. This failed too. So for the next 7 or 8 months Ché’s army, divided into small battalions ,ensued a number of bloody battles, leaving casualties on both sides of the fence. The C.I.A. stepped in and trained the Bolivian army in anti-guerilla strategy and battle tactics. And on October 8, 1967 the Bolivian Army captured Guevara. They took him to a single school room in the small pueblo of La Higuera about 20 miles from here. The next day he was executed. At least we weren’t the only group faced with difficult water crossings. Here Che’s battalion crosses the Rio Grande near Vallegrande Vallegrande fits into this scheme as the final resting place for the man who’s perhaps most famous quote is: .” Yet his iconic image as a beret-clad warrior graces t-shirts, car and bus windows and on walls of so many Latin American homes and businesses. Che was taken to Vallegrande by helicopter and laid to rest for people to see in the hospital laundry room. He was eventually buried and information relating to his execution and burial place remained a mystery until the mid-1990’s when, after a nearly two-year search the Bolivian Government with help from several relief and aid organizations, Ché’s body was found under the airport here in Vallegrande. So Vallegrande has become somewhat of a Mecca for Che fans worldwide. For in the minds of motorcyclists the notion of a pro-military action inclined revolutionary might not settle well, but as one of the early motorcycle explorers of this fascinating continent (now made famous by Walter Salles “Motorcycle Diaries”) a journey here peaks the curiosity for learning the fateful history of Che Guevara. While I don’t think UNESCO will anytime soon recognize this as a historical site, the Bolivian Government has started a tourism project called the Ché Trail. Vallegrande sits at the north end of a trek that will follow the last movements of Che Guevara and his rag-tag team of guerillas. Che Guevara once World Riding motorcyclist faced execution by CIA-trained Bolivian troops at 39 years old in Bolivia. I was packed up early this morning, but when Jeremiah stood pale and sickly at his door, I knew my efforts were in vain. While he still had a good inventory of toilet paper, he was in no mood to challenge his bowls and fatigue on his bike. I made errands for the man that not long ago helped get me and my bike back to safety. So a trip to the pharmacy for meds, and to the market for juice and water. He rejected the bread and crackers for fear of what they might bring. But this gave me a chance to wander the streets of Vallegrande. We landed here in the midst of Dias de las Muertas – a time when the dead come back and party. So everyone escapes during the day and early evening to the cemeteries where they grace the stones with colorful wreathes and flowers and bring gifts and vices for the dead to enjoy when they come back for one or two days. By the next morning we awoke to the sounds of rustling outside the window. A couple trucks loaded with motocross bikes stayed the night. Not only were the locals celebrating the dead, but motorcycles, quads and more were preparing a “caravan” along the Che Trail. We met a group from Cochabamba, one of the bigger cities in Bolivia. One of the guys wanted to trade his XR400 for my BMW. After thinking about the roads, the spills and the journey ahead, I almost considered. But then I’d have to forgo many of my belongings, including this computer. And then where would we be? Once the blog posts stopped, you’d think I disappeared. Maybe you’d even suggest looking under the airport for my body. But no. I’d be flying across the dirt relishing in my newfound freedom from the burden of the weight of lots of spare parts, first aid stuff, camping and camera gear and more. But I quickly chased the idea from my brain thinking of the fun and fury of fascinating terrain and cultural experiences I will continue to discover and share as I cross new borders. Shopping for garnishments for grave stones. It’s Dias de las Muertas – Todos Santos. Office for Evo’s MAS socialist party? Jeremiah in asado recovery mode. Jeremiah moved excruciatingly slow this morning. He was still hurting. But we both knew we had to move on. According to reports it’d take 4 hours to get to Santa Cruz. I still needed to find a solution to my illegal motorcycle. And I had some unfinished business to deal with back in California. Getting to Santa Cruz, the largest city in Bolivia, would afford me the opportunity to take care of these things before retreating back into the boonies for more adventure and discovery. But before we kissed Vallegrande goodbye we needed to see the tiny Che Guevara museum. It was here once again I was reminded of the silly policy many museums and cultural exhibits follow in South America: charging a separate admission price for foreigners than nationals. I joked with the clerk suggesting that as much time I’ve spent in Bolivia this year that I should be considered a national. Didn’t work. In the States everyone pays the same price for entrance to National Parks, museums and exhibits — for the most part. Inside I was surprised that the exhibition was fairly interesting, save that I’ve never seen more photographs of a cadaver in a museum in my life. The exhibits were bilingual and while it only took 10-15 minutes to see the entire museum, I came out with even more of an understanding of Che Guevara. As for Jeremiah, looking at him you might mistake him a candidate for a cadaver photo shoot. Needless to say, he looked bad. He hemmed and hawed. Sat down. Mumbled some, then finally made a move. But boy what a miraculous recovery he seemed to make when we arrived two hours later at El Fuerte de Samaipata – The Fort of Samaipata – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Not much is known about El Fuerte other than is was some sort of pre-Inca ceremonial site which was later used by the Incas and Colonialists. It sits high on a cliff offering expansive views of the Andes and nearby Parque Naciional Amboró – a uniquely geographically situated location where three ecosystems converge – the Amazon Basin, the desolate and dry Northern Chaco and the Andes. The ride up to the site is nothing short of incredible. For about five miles you ride into a small gorge, cross a river and climb up, up and up on a narrow rock and dirt road that precariously hugs the cliff. Afterwords, we begin our spill to lower elevation and rising temperatures to the city of Santa Cruz. As for Jeremiah, he seemed to have no problem climbing the steep incline and never-ending stairs to platforms where we gazed onto carvings and ruins of ceremonial and administrative sites for this little known pre-Inca civilization. Yet as the sun waned and the clock ticked, I became worried about getting into Santa Cruz on a Friday night. First, it’s supposedly a huge city and finding anything in the chaotic mess of traffic, taxis, burros and bumps can have you driving circles for hours. Plus, if it’s as hot as everyone says, we’re going to be sweating in our riding gear. Finally, I needed to handle my business with Aduana (customs) before they closed. But we trekked on and continued walking through these fabulous ruins. View from Samaipata – expansive gaze onto the ruins and great Andes in the distance. Ruins at El Fuerte – Samaipata, Bolivia. I guess we should have heeded my advice to leave a bit earlier. Because still 30 minutes outside Santa Cruz we lost our sunlight. To make matters worse it started to rain. This poses a huge problem with face-shields and oncoming traffic with lights. In short, it’s nearly impossible to see. The glare, combined with the refractive games lights on water droplets play, does nothing for visibility. Raising the shield is only a temporary solution until your eyes are pelted tired. Not good when every click (km) or two speed bumps pop up. And they’re usually impossible to see. Making riding even more unpredictable. Jeremiah pulled over to make some adjustments to his gear. He lifts his face-shield and yells over to me, “What a nightmare.” Entrance fees at national parks in 3rd world countries is almost always higher for foreigners than nationals. In the US state and local residents pay less at their parks than nons as well so this is pretty common. Dennis – Thanks for dropping in…. And thanks for the comment, but I’d have to differ. In the U.S.A. National Parks charge the same amount for anyone regardless of race, creed, color or country / state of origin. The variable fees may be for different sized vehicles. Now I don’t know about all State Parks, but Alaska has a set fee and the only discounts available are for disabled veterans. To be sure, some state parks are managed by private firms so I don’t have the data. I do know that in Chile and Argentina for example NATIONAL parks are charged different rates based on passport or residence. Yeah. I know. It’s just a gripe. But it’s discrimination… and yes, i know it’s common. Doesn’t make it right. I pay the fees anyway. I just wish that in these countries at least they could afford the decency to putting some trash cans in the park so that people wouldn’t litter the places… but then again, that’s common in 3rd world countries too. smiles, /allan

LEX just hours after reports surfaced linking Calipari and the coaching vacancy with the NBA's Chicago Bulls, who fired Vinny Del Negro on Tuesday. Calipari told ESPN.com's Andy Katz earlier Tuesday that he has no interest in the job that became open when Del Negro was fired. Calipari told Katz he hasn't been asked about the opening and isn't pursuing it. Calipari said Wednesday that while he's open to a contract extension, he's not interested in a raise. Calipari said in an audio tweet on lexy.com that Barnhart approached him 10 days ago about restructuring his contract. Calipari said he told Barnhart that he welcomes the idea but doesn't want his compensation to change. Calipari, already the highest-paid coach in men's college basketball, just completed the first year of an eight-year deal that averages nearly $4 million a season. Kentucky went 35-3 last season behind the play of freshman stars John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins. "I'm extremely proud of what Coach Calipari has done in just one year as the leader of our men's basketball program," Barnhart said. "Cal has brought Kentucky men's basketball back to its rightful place of national prominence and I'm excited about our future." Calipari tried to brush off the NBA speculation on his Facebook page. "Every year you will hear my named mentioned for NBA jobs because I coached in the league before," Calipari posted. "I'm very happy at Kentucky." Calipari went 72-112 in two-plus seasons with the New Jersey Nets in the late 1990s. He spent the 1999-2000 season as an assistant with the Philadelphia 76ers before returning to the collegiate level to coach at Memphis. The 51-year-old Calipari spent nine seasons with the Tigers before coming to Kentucky last spring. He revitalized the program with arguably one of the greatest recruiting classes in history in Wall, Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton. All four, however, are headed to the NBA. So is junior forward Patrick Patterson. Calipari has already put the finishing touches on another stellar class that includes point guard Brandon Knight, rated the top-rated high school senior in the country by Rivals.com. Calipari has become something of a phenomenon during his one season at Kentucky, embracing the school's tradition and legacy while connecting with one of the most demanding fan bases in the country. He has reveled in the spotlight but acknowledged Monday that it can be draining. "I love coaching here, but this is a hard job," he said. "I haven't had a day off in a long time. I am looking forward to it at some point, because we still have to finish this recruiting class, to just getting away." His destination, however, does not appear to be the NBA. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
Shabbat Jewish tradition considers Shabbat to be a foretast of Paradise. Poets speak of this day as a bride and as a queen. In the Ten Commandments Shabbat is referred to as a reminder of both Creation and the Exodus from Egypt. The centrality of Shabbat is reflected in the Hebrew names for the days of the week, which are all related to Shabbat. Sunday, for example, is "the first day," Monday is "the second day," and so forth. -From Embracing Judaism, by Simcha Kling, revised by Carl M. Perkins

An hour from San Jose, upstart soccer franchise Ville FC aims to put the farm town of Watsonville on the map for college and professional scouts. Roberto Castaneda’s friends were used to seeing his Facebook page go into overdrive just before Tax Day. After all, the 30-year-old former Watsonville High soccer star had moved to Turlock and become a Liberty Tax franchisee. But on April 1 of this year, there was something new mixed into the usual rotation of ads for no-interest loans featuring women dressed as the Statue of Liberty: a frenzied stream of posts about starting a new semi-professional soccer team in his former hometown. “It’s time we do something about the lack of opportunities for outstanding players in our community,” Castaneda wrote in the post. “Let’s make Watsonville a powerhouse in soccer.”

Who would have thought that building a business and a web site would be similar to planning a wedding! This time last year I was obsessing over the colors for our wedding, which incidentally were pink and brown. To be honest I’ve never been much of a pink girl but suddenly last year I became obsessed with pink. Maybe it is that whole redheads shouldn’t wear pink thing so it is making me want pink more and more. Anyway pink and brown is pretty normal for wedding colors, it didn’t take me long to find lots of stuff with pink and brown. So when I started designing my website and choosing colors I of course went with pink and brown. As time has gone along you may have noticed that my colors have changed and even my logo design is slightly different. I still haven’t gotten away from pink 😉 but my shade has gotten sassier in my opinion! Recently I had a conversation with a fellow photographer and asked her if my pink, pink, pink website was too girly. Hmm, what do you think her response was? She was very sweet and told me to maybe tone down the cotton candy pink. So last week I went in search of inspiration for colors that were a little more adult and would not scare off my macho male clients. I love google, google rocks, google answers all my questions. I think God is behind google, I mean come on he is supposed to be all knowing and google is all knowing so I believe google is god. And that whole I’m feeling lucky button, that is just God’s sense of humor. Anyway enough about God and google, I asked and they answered with this great link to a site I was very familiar with in my wedding days, Style Me Pretty! Beware that this site is addictive for brides and no matter how great your wedding is if your flowers, cake, pictures, etc don’t look like those on SMP you will be dissapointed. So that is my warning, don’t look unless you are okay with dissapointment. My updated color scheme is now Fuchsia pink, dark teal and creamy white with black for text. Thanks to Carrie from Cape Cod on SMP I have found a color scheme that is elegant and sassy in my humble opinion and hopefully will not scare the guys too much. Check out the original item on Style Me Pretty here. Let me know what you think of my new color scheme in the comments below. I’m still working it into everything but I’ve updated enough on my blog that I wanted to tell you why things look a little different. I love, love, LOVE the teal that you’ve picked! absolutely gorgeous. i’d love to see more of it…possibly as a background. i think it would make the fuschia pop even more than it already does. Something along these lines would be nice and definitely still accent your logo stamp :]
Anthony Ogogo (9-0, 5 KOs) is aiming for a stoppage victory against Frane Radnic (11-2, 10 KOs) on Saturday night at The O2 in London. The Olympic Bronze medalist returns to action following an impressive third-round technical knockout victory against Gary Cooper on May 28 at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, and the 27 year-old middleweight is eager to build momentum as he targets the big names in the division. ‘’I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring,’’ said Ogogo, who looks in fine form having recovered from the shoulder and Achilles injuries that had kept him out of action for much of the last two years. ‘’Radnic is a good boxer. He’s had thirteen fights, he’s won eleven and he’s knocked out ten of his previous opponents, so obviously he can bang. It’s a very good record, and I think he would be a good test for any prospect; particularly one coming off a big injury lay off like me. ‘’He’s only lost two fights and both of those have been on points, so I want to be the first person to stop him, that’s my objective. Some people might look at his record and see someone who can bang, but I look at it and see someone whose never been stopped, and I want to stop him.’’ The Lowestoft boxer knows another victory will bring him closer to the big fights he craves. ‘’It’s all about building momentum,’’ he says. ‘’This is my second fight in two months and I want to keep busy. I’ve had some bad luck in my career so far, but that’s behind me now and I’m ready to move forward. ‘’I want to be involved in the big fights and I want the big names in the division. My goal has always been to become World Champion and I’m ready to fight anyone to make that happen. Chris Eubank Jr. has the British title, that’s something that I want, and that’s a fight I would love. He’s a big name and that would be a big showpiece for British boxing.’’ Ogogo’s fight is part of a massive night of action at The O2 as Joshua defends his IBF World Heavyweight title against unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale.

The Hammers owners have indicated that they would welcome a third party at the helm of the club, but insisted they would not put the future of the club under any risk West Ham joint-chairman David Gold has revealed he and business partner David Sullivan would be happy to sell part of their stake in the club to a new "very wealthy" investor. The pair took charge of the Hammers in January 2010, three months after selling their share of Birmingham City to Carson Yeung for £80 million. Gold indicated that the duo are not willing to sell their entire holdings in the east London team, insisting they will not put the future of the club at risk, but did suggest that the only way to take the side forward is to accept huge investment from a Roman Abramovich-type figure. “You have to be a billionaire to make a major difference and there aren’t many of them about,” Gold told reporters. “In an ideal world, though, if you ask what I’d like to see happen, I would like a very wealthy person to come and join us. . “There’s also the danger that when you think you’re passing a club to a super-wealthy person that [the progress] can all evaporate, as happened at [former club] Birmingham and other clubs. There’s that great danger here as well. We have plenty of experience.” Gold then explained that securing the Olympic Stadium would be a massive boost to the club in terms of attracting big-name players and help boost revenues, but assured fans that the chairmen will not take any unnecessary risks or sign over-demanding players. He said: which could change our whole image, would help us attract better players. But it all boils down to income and we have to generate more income. “Arsenal doubled theirs by moving, [Manchester] City, even before Sheikh Mansour bought the club, doubled their income by moving to a stadium that they didn’t buy, but rented. “In the meantime, we must keep strengthening the club and that means not selling our best players. I want good players but I won’t want players who might bankrupt the football club."

A Fate More Honorable Than Sushi Coal miners used canaries to warn them of noxious gases for generations. Today’s substitute may be the everyday goldfish: it can act as an aquatic canary to warn scientists when something bad is brewing in the waters, according to new research. Scientists regularly monitor pollution in freshwater to understand the hazards threatening people who use it. This often requires examining the effects of the water in different organisms, ranging from bacteria to amphibians. Researchers in Asia have successfully screened freshwater for certain carcinogens by studying Salmonella bacteria and different species of fish. However, tests using Salmonella could yield false results, and researchers would prefer using a single species of fish to test for different pollutants. A new study combines several environmental screens into one species of goldfish. Goldfish can adapt to any freshwater environment, says researcher Yuya Deguchi of Nagasaki International University in Japan. This trait, along with their size, makes goldfish an ideal model species to observe, Deguchi says. His team bought 10 male goldfish and exposed them to water from the Ho River near the region’s textile dyeing factory. In the laboratory, five goldfish swam in water collected upstream of the factory; the other five swam in water collected downstream. Earlier laboratory screens using Salmonella revealed carcinogens in this river, but the team expanded its study to track three biological measurements: damage to the fishes’ DNA; synthesis of a protein normally only seen in the livers of females; and production of enzymes associated with certain pollutants. The team examined the fish at two one-week intervals. Goldfish exposed to water downstream of the factory produced more of the female liver protein and more of one pollutant-generated enzyme than the upstream fish. Water from both points in the river damaged the fishes’ DNA, although water from downstream inflicted more damage. The results, published in the December issue of Environmental Toxicology, confirm the earlier Salmonella screens for carcinogens and suggest the factory also pollutes the river with endocrine-disrupting compounds. More broadly, the team feels the study validates the goldfish as a model chemical screener. Carys Mitchelmore of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science says combining several assays into one fish species is not novel, but is certainly the right direction for assessing the health of rivers. Exposing five fish to river water in the laboratory is not ideal, Mitchelmore says, adding that a more extensive study should use fish collected from the river at different times of the year, maybe even confining fish to cages in the river itself.

That was the weekend that was. 1. Martin O’Neill must be sick of Stoke’s last minute antics this season. Following their stoppage time winner in the August game at the Britannia Stadium, Stoke remarkably came from two goals down at Villa Park with four minutes to go to draw a match they had no right to get anything from. O’Neill must be a touch concerned at Villa’s relative lack of form at a key time of the season. They are now without a win in five in all competitions and this run has coincided with the injury to Martin Laursen, a key figure in the side. I doubt Arsenal would have been able to make up an eight point deficit, but now have a chance to cut it to three by the time Villa play next if they manage to beat bottom side West Brom. Whilst Wenger will be delighted at Villa dropping points, he of all people will know what it’s like to be in that situation having conspired to do the same against Spurs in October. Damnit, not again! 2. The Spurs and Villa results over the weekend got me thinking about the importance of having a settled team and not worrying about resting players too much. Of course certain games are a priority and players get tired at this stage of the season but at the same time matches are also about confidence and routine. Both sides could have played a few more first teamers in the UEFA Cup whilst still ensuring not too much effort was made to prevent elimination. Sometimes going seven to ten days without a match isn’t actually all that good as you can lose your touch and match practice. There’s a reason why winning teams are rarely changed and I think both Villa and Spurs might have had better results at the weekend had they played a few more of their first teamers midweek. 3. Rafa now thinks Liverpool would have been closer to Man Utd had Torres been fit for more of the season. That may be so but Man Utd have also had their fair share of injuries with Ronaldo, Rooney and several midfielders all out for good portions. The whole point is that you’re not meant to rely on one player and if Robbie Keane wasn’t the answer/alternative, Rafa should have ensured that someone else was. Fergie’s Berbatov, Rooney and Tevez compared to Rafa’s Torres, El Zhar and N’Gog? I know what I’d choose. A regular sight 4. A week after writing off Gareth Southgate, he oversees one of Middlesbrough’s best results of the season. Boro’s next six games are all against teams around them in the table. They will hope to have pulled a little clear by the end of this run as the two matches that follow are Arsenal and Man Utd. 5. Reputations count for a lot. Robin Van Persie is having a good season but has been guilty of some quite poor misses over the past few games. Had those chances been missed by Bendtner or even Adebayor for that matter we would be highly critical. RVP has escaped (thus far) on account of him producing in big games. However, great player though he is, Van Persie is certainly not prolific. The less said about Arsenal’s 4th consecutive goalless draw the better. Luck would have it that they face West Brom next but then they were meant to beat Sunderland, and Fulham, and… 6. Man City lost yet again away from home and yet again Robinho failed to do anything of note. He hasn’t scored since November and there has been many a muttering about his lack of effort away from the City of Manchester Stadium (he’s only scored twice away). Mark Hughes has built his success on hard working sides and while the Brazilian is a major talent, you feel that he is not one for a relegation battle. City are only six points clear and a lot could still change at the bottom of the table. He’s doubtful with an ankle injury for the next game and it may well be a blessing in disguise. I hope you didn't expect me to run for that. T.

It was just over a month ago that we were trudging through the hottest, sweatiest days of the summer, and yet here we are, at the end of September, freezing our bums off. While technically speaking the temperature has not been freezing, it has been hovering around 60 degrees F (about 15 C, I think), and has felt downright cold for the last week or so. Add a plethora of cloudy, rainy days and our house feels bone cold, so we finally decided to turn on the heat (the heat was on in early May, now again late September, I think this is a record for me). I’m sure things are colder up here on the mountain, but come on now, it would be nice to have some mild temperatures in between the sweltering air conditioning weather and the bitter heat on non-stop weather (we might have had a week of them, which isn’t anywhere near enough). Today has proven to be yet another gloomy, cold day (I think the coldest yet, the temperature hasn’t risen above 49 up here), and while I tend toward the dark and gothic, even the most melancholy of people need a sunny day now and then, if only to dry the laundry. There is one thing this weather is good for, however – cuddling on the couch watching T.V. with your husband and three cats. In other words, it is official – I have become an old woman who spends her time complaining about the weather. At least there is one thing this weather is good for – cuddling on the couch watching T.V. with your husband and three cats. 3 comments: I know what you mean about the discomfort when the weather sudenly turns cold. On the other hand, this year in California, the heat keeps returning and returning. I am so sick of temperatures over 90 degrees F. Hello, Can I ask what is the weather like during the Christmas holidays? I have never been to Greece in the winter, this year I wanted to come because I have not yet taken a vacation yet. Thanks you, I can imagine, Lulu, I'd be sick of that kind of heat too!. The islands seem to be more temperate. We lived on Kos, which is much further south than some islands, but the winter there was fairly mild overall (highs in the low 60's in December). I hope that helps. It certainly isn't Florida, but Greece can pretty nice during the holidays, lots of sparkling lights and holiday cheer about. =)
Can You Buy A House Without A Down Payment? [SPONSORED] To make sure that, when I find my perfect house, I can get the ball moving, I stopped by Cobalt Mortgage and spoke to Dirk Bernd about what options I have. Knowing my financial situation, we did have a couple of options. Naturally, you want to have a down payment. If you can get 5% down, you may be in pretty good luck. And, in the meantime, I’m saving money as we speak so when it comes time to buy a house, whether it’s tomorrow or next month or next year, I’ll have more than I had yesterday. If there is NO money in your bank account, Dirk did know of a special program that makes it so you can buy a house without a down payment AND low interest. I was blown away! If you’re in my situation – you wanna move and buy a house, but you don’t have anything for a down payment, I’d say swing by and speak to Dirk Bernd and see what he can do for, no matter what kind of house you’re looking for. Now that I’m approved, I feel pretty good about finding that house. Now, it’s time to give Daniel a call again and look at some more homes!
5/6/2013 5:37 PM ET| For jobs, young Americans worse off than Russians The 26.2% unemployment rate for folks 25 to 34 years old also tops those of other well-off nations. David Leonhardt, The New York Times Washington bureau chief, notes that as recently as 2000, the U.S. had the lowest unemployment rate for people ages 25 to 34 years old among countries with large, wealthy economies. Now not only does is the U.S. group's unemployment rate (26.2%) higher than in countries such as Canada, the U.K., France, Japan, Australia, Russia and Germany, but the Labor Department says it's also the only group in the U.S. that saw its average wages decrease over the same span. College graduates in that group have a far easier time of it, with the official unemployment rate for those aged 25 to 34 sitting at just 3.3%. Still, with The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ranking the U.S. 16th in the world for its percentage of people 25 to 34 with college degrees, young Americans' education lags behind that of folks in other countries. These reports just add to a deluge of bad news for fresh-faced job applicants. Right now, only one job is available in the U.S. for every three people who apply. The U.S. economy has regained 5.7 million of the 8.7 million jobs shed during the Great Recession. Roughly 65% of those jobs have been of the low-wage variety, though nearly 60% of all jobs lost during the slump paid middle-income wages or better, according to the National Employment Law Project. The most common job in America since the recession is in retail sales. Those workers number 4.3 million (greater than the population of Kentucky) and make only $25,000 a year, well below the more than $45,000 national median wage. While college students are still far better off than their less-educated peers, art school students and MBAs alike are being crushed by student debt. Deeply indebted doctorate recipients are seeking food stamps in increasing numbers. Roughly 284,000 college graduates are making minimum wage. Even when graduates get a job, their debt doesn't get any less onerous. The Center For College Affordability & Productivity reported that nearly half of the college graduates from the class of 2010 are in jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree. A full 38% have taken jobs that don't even require a high school education. According to The Associated Press, that has dropped the median wage for college graduates significantly since 2000. The line from graduation to the retail counter stretches so far that Starbucks (SBUX), Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and McDonald's (MCD) are now offering training courses that qualify for college credits.

16 road projects hit green hurdle The environment ministry is facing heat from within the government for delaying key infrastructure projects in the country.delhi Updated: May 27, 2012 02:18 IST The environment ministry is facing heat from within the government for delaying key infrastructure projects in the country. Road transport and highways minister CP Joshi on May 21 shot off a letter to his counterpart in the environment ministry, Jayanti Natarajan, blaming her ministry for the delay in giving environment/forest clearance to 16 crucial highway projects.Of the projects that are yet to be granted a formal environmental clearance, two are located in UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s pocket borough, Rae Bareily. They are the Lucknow-Rae Bareily section of NH-24 B and Rae Bareily-Allahabad section of NH-24B. Besides preventing the projects from taking off, the delay is also likely to come in the way of the road ministry meeting its ambitious target of constructing 20 km of road per day, Joshi wrote. “Earlier, The Prime Minister had announced that the ministry would achieve the target of 20 km a day for roads. For this, the pace of award of contracts has been accelerated… it has become urgent that the environment/forest clearance is expedited, so the works can start and the target achieved.” The 16 projects, awarded to private concessionaires, have already been issued letters of acceptance by the National Highways Authority of India. However, in the absence of environment clearances, none of the projects have taken off. Road ministry officials say that such delays cause cost and time overruns, auguring badly for the sector as well as public-private partnerships (PPPs). “In PPP projects, environment clearance is a condition precedent in the concession agreement. Therefore, environment clearance is mandatory prior to the declaration of the appointed date and initiation of construction activity,” the road minister wrote. In 2009, the road ministry had set an ambitious target of constructing 20 km of road per day. However, the goal is yet to be achieved. First Published: May 26, 2012 23:00 IST

Last week, Furniture retailer IKEA unveiled “Soffa Sans,” a font where each letter is formed by pieces of a sofa. Soffa Sans is born out of the internet memes from its digital “Design your own sofa” tool. The planner allows people to configure different sectionals, and showcases the final product in 3D. IKEA has called the font “the world’s comfiest font” which creates a typeface out of the Vallentuna couch. The Vallentuna is IKEA’s flagship modular sofa series that can be customized by combining individual modules of seats, storage seats and sleeper seats to design the ideal sofa for space by Individual choices. The free font can be downloaded from here, and is available in white, blue, and gray colors. The Drum notes that Soffa Sans features 1,434 products, and would cost £106,320 (about $134,500) if the font were recreated in real life.

Bank Property – Guide to Buying Discounted Real Estate Owning a bank is a great way to buy real estate at discounted prices. Bank foreclosures consist of residential homes, commercial properties, and vacant lots. Whether you are looking for a first home, vacation home, investment property, or commercial property, bank properties can be the perfect solution. To purchase a bank property, buyers must submit offers through the bank’s loss mitigation division or assigned real estate agents. When banks monitor multiple foreclosures, they often use local real estate agents to list and display properties and submit offers. Buyers should be aware that banks rarely deviate from the sale price unless major repairs are revealed during property inspections. Banks often suffer a severe financial blow during the foreclosure process. The average loss per property in foreclosure is estimated at $ 60,000. The main objective of banks is to recoup most of the losses when selling repossessed properties. Buyers should plan to offer the full sale price or slightly less. Most real estate foreclosures require repairs. This is particularly true in the case of residential homes. Unfortunately, homeowners in foreclosure often retaliate against lenders by causing property damage. It is not uncommon to find retired appliances; destroyed or defaced floors and walls; or broken windows and plumbing fixtures. Real estate prices are based on current market value and are adjusted for repairs needed. Buyers must do due diligence in obtaining property appraisals and home inspections. Repairs discovered during the home inspection that were not recorded in the original documents can be used to negotiate the purchase price. Bank properties are typically priced at least 10 percent below market value. However, there are options that allow buyers to get additional discounts. The first involves purchasing a home through Fannie Mae’s Home Path Mortgage program. This government sponsored mortgage financing program offers a wide range of discounted foreclosure properties. Many of the homes for sale are located in areas that experience an above-average foreclosure rate and may qualify for Neighborhood Stabilization Program grants offered through HUD. Fannie Mae established Home Path to liquidate its national inventory of bank foreclosures by offering special financing options. Home Path can be a good option for buyers with bad credit and for those who cannot afford the down payment requirements associated with conventional home loans. Home Path requires a minimum 3 percent down payment and allows borrowers to obtain down payment assistance from outside sources; which is prohibited when obtaining financing through conventional lenders. Program details and foreclosed property listings are provided on HomePath.com. Another way to buy bank properties at discount rates is by looking for real estate investors who buy bank portfolios. When investors buy foreclosed properties in bulk, they get wholesale prices that leave them room to make a profit while selling real estate below market value. Last but not least, buyers should consider looking for a bank property that has been on the market for 60 days or more. Banks sometimes negotiate prices when real estate has stalled or when no one makes an offer. Using grants in conjunction with Fannie Mae foreclosures or wholesale real estate can further maximize savings and return on investment. Those who take the time to research options and educate themselves on the process can potentially save more than 30 percent or more. It is best to obtain information from renowned mortgage financers and government agencies or lawyers and real estate investors who specialize in buying and selling bank-owned foreclosed properties.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Law of Love The concept of love is explained in Quran. based on that demonstrate our deserving His wrath, God has made it explicit that His law of love is based on condition; God's love is conditional and has its rules. By our own volition, we end up either close to or favored by God (in the bliss of Paradise), or far from Him (in Hell). We either follow His criteria of love or face the consequences of our own man-made criteria of love.. It is a myth to believe that God has ever sent messages through any of His messengers or prophets to promote unconditional love as this issued and straightforward rules to deal with enemies of God. There is no general rule in Quran to love everyone or be kind to everyone or turn the other cheek for our enemies (9:123, 9:73, 5:54). Unconditional love is a man-made standard and weakness that ironically goes against the human nature and commonsense. More important, it opposes certain ethics and commands in Quran and it doesn't follow the highest, most superior example of love set by the Almighty. It is a flawed, personal wish to promote that God has ever advocated unconditional love in any of His scriptures through any of His prophets.. It is our duty (28:77), the betrayers or the unappreciative ( 4:107, 22:38). - He doesn't love those who are arrogant (16:23, 4:36, 31:18) nor does He love those who are boastful, proud (57:23). - He has assigned Hell for His enemies (41:19,28) and called them the worst creatures (8:55, 98:6). He doesn't love those who extend love to them or take them as allies while they are actively fighting God and His Truth (60:1, 58:22, 9:16). - God loves those who are clean (2:222) and doesn't love the gluttons (7:31). -.

Creative Stone Art You would have heard the famous saying that a rolling stone gathers no mass. This means that until you would keep wondering aimlessly, you will not attain your due importance. But the idea that we are going to offer here would give your stone its due importance, in fact more than that, a lot more than that really. I used to sit on the bank of our countryside canal and throw stones into that. But trust me, had I known this idea of creative stone art, I would have returned home a bag full of those useless stones. Yes, the point here is that you can use stones in creative stone art. The art that grooms the useless stone and make it worth noticing and even loving it. Never in your life you would have heard of turning stones into colorful stone art ideas right? I am sure. But trust me, if you love art and also believe in the theory of recycling, don’t go for expensive decoration pieces but make your own with creative stone art. They are not going to cost you even a single penny, but at the end of the day, a lot of inspiration and appreciation at your behest. You can make beautiful caricatures of different cartoon characters, by painting stones and joining them in a manner to portray a figure. Or you can just paint the oval shaped stones as tiny rats and mice, or paint as sea lions and place them in a wooden frame. You can also use stones in wall art.

LOS ANGELES (AP) –. (Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
My desk, like my life, is feeling a little cluttered. I’m working to change that. I want to slow things down. Enjoy, savor the moments. Recently I read,”There is sacred in what appears to be mundane.” I seek that sacredness! I am looking for the beauty and blessedness in the ordinary around me. Bursting daffodils with their delicate scalloped petals offer me their beauty. Tulip buds are taut and full; hints of colour foretelling what lies hidden inside. A couple more days of warm weather and the tulips will be revealed in all their glory. I walk past a homeless man holding out his lion puppet. The encounter puts a smile on my face. He sits in his chosen spot. A piece of grey, uneven sidewalk under the overhang of a dollar store entrance. His blackened backpack is placed to his left and slightly behind him. The lion is on his left hand. This motley muppet could use a bath, as could its owner. The wheaten terrier golden wool is matted and looks like it has spent many days frolicking in a muddy field. But a grin splits its head as I walk by and its owner manipulates his character. “Smile at the pretty lady! It’s a beautiful day!” It’s hard not to smile back. The sight in front of me is impossible to ignore. The man himself has dirty blond hair. He has a happy voice and eyes that light up as he speaks. His own smile shows missing teeth and neglect but also the heart of a gentle soul. He asks for nothing. He doesn’t beg or have his hand out. He is just there with his puppet. How does he spend his days? Where does he sleep at night? Is his head full of clutter and worry like mine? How does he view the world? I see a fallen angel. Wounded wings ground a charming soul. At a glance he appears down and out but the charm that lives within still shines through. My gait feels a little lighter, my day a little sunnier. I have had a glimpse of the sacred in the mundane. 🙂 You have such a lovely way of writing about the homeless folks you see, Mary. You hold them in such compassion and you acknowledge them, letting each of them know that he or she is not invisible. That is sacred, too. Blessings! Just after I wrote this piece I had to run to the store and I ended up waiting at an intersection standing next to this very person. It was surreal. I felt like he could see right through me. He was very kind. I wanted to tell him he had inspired me to write about himself and his puppet but I didn’t 🙂 If you see him again perhaps you can let him know how he inspired you. For truly he did. 🙂
Typically the value side, some brands exist in this price span; like Delta 9 in Alberta for instance. I’d tell you the first to put out a 3.5 gram package in this price bracket was Organigram’s brand TrailBlazer, which offered one variety: Glow Buds. It arrived to the Ontario market first, where it was priced $17.99. And you can see from the graph below, it garnered much of the market share for that time. Let’s take a look at what’s been happening lately using the April 2021 dataset. April 2021 Highlights In Alberta, sales within this price bracket is dominated by Delta 9, they had 43% of this section in April and was sold in 82 stores we observe. Riff followed up with a quarter of the market (25%) in 34 stores. Contrasting this to Ontario, where we see 3 brands with the majority of the market share, and none of them are similar to Alberta. Here TwD. had 22% of this section, followed by Pure Sun Farms (who had 2% in Alberta) and then Good Supply (who had 2% in Alberta as well).

Merit Health offers insurance application help For individuals who need help comparing plans or filling out an application on the Health Insurance Marketplace, Merit Health Wesley once again is offering free assistance during open enrollment Nov. 1-Jan. 31. Appointments may be made with the hospital’s certified assisters by calling (601) 268-5099, or can be booked online:. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010, and this year’s open enrollment marks the fourth annual campaign to extend healthcare coverage to citizens who otherwise might remain,” said Cindy Ruff, Business Office Director at Merit Health Wesley. “This will always be the case as insurers enter and exit different markets. But what is consistent, year-to-year, is the value of the Marketplace. Millions of people, who otherwise wouldn’t have access to care or who would face a financial crisis due to medical bills, are able to sign up for insurance.” 2017. Individuals who are re-enrolling on the marketplace are encouraged to re-evaluate and compare plans, as the lowest-cost option can change from year to year. “I think this is where our certified assisters add so much value,” said Ruff. “They know how to explain the pros and cons of each option, and they carefully screen each person to make sure any subsidies toward premiums, or any discounts available for deductibles or co-pays, are accessed.” mental and behavioral health treatment. Penalties Individuals who are eligible for health insurance but do not purchase coverage not only pay a penalty when filing their tax return, but also they forfeit financial help with healthcare expenses throughout the year. The penalty is either 2.5% of family income or a predetermined flat rate, whichever is higher. The 2016 penalty was $695 per adult, $347.50 per child, with a maximum fee of $2,085; these fees will be adjusted for inflation in 2017.
Do fitness wearables aid weight loss?

. "We want everyone to recognize that Internet is not your private place," JASRAC says. Even in the world of 140 characters, the law must be obeyed. Yikes! Music artists I know like Amanda Palmer (who has 400,000 Twitter followers) love when people tweet their stuff because they get more fans! Here is what JASRAC is in the business of doing according to the JASRAC English language site: "Collect royalties from users of music in Japan and from foreign copyright societies and allocates them to trustors or transfers them to eligible foreign societies." They are copyright cops. Note that JASRAC is not in the business of helping artists. JASRAC is not in the business of advising on or provide services to artists to better market their work to new audiences. JASRAC does not help artists maximize income. Here is a video called JASRAC wants my money made by Zemichi who says: "Apparently, JASRAC goes around the internet sending cease and desist to people that use ANY content that's protected under them. A quick search tells me that they've sent C&D's to LYRICS TRANSLATION sites too." Note that JASRAC says it is okay to tweet the titles of the songs. (Thanks!) JASRAC hasn't decided how much they'll charge when you tweet a lyric. "We are currently considering the handling in full compliance with the Act on Management Business of Copyright and Neighboring Rights," JASRAC says. This just pisses me off. Yes, I understand that artists need to make money. I get it: I make part of my income from royalties on books. In fact, the Japanese version of The New Rules of Marketing & PR falls under the JASRAC Stalinist control. (Thanks but no thanks. Can I get out from under you, JASRAC? I don't want you representing me!) This Twitter policy from JASRAC is just plain wrong. on Twitter. Please jump in to this one with your opinion! ++++++++ UPDATE March 4, 2010: Steve McClure, an expert on the Japanese music business, provides an update on the situation. ++++++++ Image credit: Shutterstock / Alexander Chaikin David, thank god that they didn't catch you on a road humming the song and handed a "royalty payment pending slip" :D Plain Wrong. Posted by: Account Deleted | March 02, 2010 at 09:20 AM Seems like having just a few snippets of a song's lyrics would be considered "fair use" and non-detrimental to the artist. I don't know how it would play out in Japan, but I doubt that it would be considered a violation of the copyright holder's rights in the US. Of course, I'm not an attorney, and can provide no legal advice (etc. etc.). Groups like these are doomed to irrelevance, as even the artists don't support them for the most part. Thanks for letting us know about this, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out about the issue. Posted by: Chuck Smith | March 02, 2010 at 09:31 AM People just don't understand the need to take part in a "world wide rave" and get their art out in the public as much as possible. As that happens, they WILL make more money. Trying to control everything is just holding them back. Posted by: Natasha Attal | March 02, 2010 at 09:35 AM Thanks for the comments. I hope we can change some minds over there! Posted by: David Meerman Scott | March 02, 2010 at 09:52 AM And I thought American record companies were crazy! Posted by: Jake LaCaze | March 02, 2010 at 10:00 AM Moves like this don't upset me. Companies/people need to learn the hard way sometimes. Hopefully, they invite you to speak to their organization and share some of your case studies. Posted by: Dan Schawbel | March 02, 2010 at 10:35 AM David - A colleague was fond of the phrase, "no fools, no fun!" Oops! Maybe I owe Spencer a royalty! I suspect the "fair use" comments made above are valid. As well, I expect JASRAC would have to establish that the tweet was a commercial transaction and not conversational. Regardless, this is a silly attempt by someone to monetize where they have no rights. Posted by: Doug Brockway | March 02, 2010 at 11:00 AM Hoo brother. This makes me want to find out all of those artists governed by JASRACket and start randomly tweeting their lyrics. Wonder if the artists would have a problem with that. There's gonna be a helluva court battle over this, I bet. Posted by: twitter.com/MattAtFlimp | March 02, 2010 at 11:02 AM David, Are there music lobbyists in Japan pushing for this? I wonder if Japanese artists are actually on board with this idea. It seems like one of those things that looks good on paper, but in the long term will wind up costing people a lot of money. They are effectively going to eliminate the smaller bands who rely solely on web tools to expose their fans to their music. Posted by: Greg Digneo | March 02, 2010 at 02:28 PM What an interesting idea! All Steve Jobs has to do now is write and publish music in Japan that has his product names and key innovations in them, and now nobody can tweet about him! Posted by: Ike | March 02, 2010 at 04:29 PM It is human nature to post song lyrics. You get a song in your head and you want to share it or figure out what he heck it is. To charge the person posting it is bad. I mean why? I know the artists need some revenue but charging the consumer for stating something about a song is ridiculous. I know I post songs on FB and Twitter if they are in my head. I also work in the arena so sometimes I post the name of a song of which is going on during the performance. So are we going to get charged for every time we mention something? This is bad. Posted by: Jamie Favreau | March 02, 2010 at 04:38 PM leave if to them wacky Japanese to come up with something crazy. Hey I love me some good 'ol Mazinger or Ninja Warrior. Those are great ideas. This one??? Nah... Posted by: Paul Anthony Kelly | March 02, 2010 at 06:55 PM This is just ridiculous, its not like its even the whole song, its probably just a few lines of lyrics. This is just crazy. If anything post song lyrics helps generate business for the artist. It is sort of a grass roots word of mouth campaign. I think in the end this will potentially hurt artists. Next thing you know were gonna be charged for singing a song... Posted by: Ralph Leon | March 02, 2010 at 07:54 PM Thanks to all for jumping in. I wish that a rep from JASRAC would jump in. Posted by: David Meerman Scott | March 03, 2010 at 04:44 AM So in theory if I did in fact stay at a YMCA and I tweeted. 'It's fun to stay at the YMCA' I'd be charged for it? Insanity! Posted by: Jonin60seconds | March 03, 2010 at 12:18 PM this is just another example of the how recording industry does not listen to their fans. Music has never been more popular and more in demand, and not just mainstream, but all genres of music. Instead of the industry understanding and making music available the way fans want it, they try and fight the fans. hope this does not carry over to other sites, countries, etc... Posted by: Antonio Marsillo, LoudTrax.com | March 03, 2010 at 04:49 PM Since Twitter users are not (presumably) tweeting lyrics for commercial gain, quoting lyrics in tweets would seem to come under the category of Fair Use. Unfortunately, there is no such category in Japan's Copyright Law, in which the "moral right" of the rights-holder is paramount. The only rationale that I can see for JASRAC charging Twitter for dissemination of song lyrics would be if Twitter were collecting advertising or other revenue on the strength of how many users it has. That said, there is a strong commonsense argument against charging copyright fees when lyrics are tweeted, in that tweets comprise a mere 140 characters, which means only a small part of a given song's lyrics could be quoted. One exception is, of course, the Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird," a surf-music classic of Beckettian minimalism: Posted by: Steve McClure | March 03, 2010 at 11:33 PM You've hit the nail on the head by saying JASRAC aren't representing the artists interests, just their own. This is how New Rules Marketing works. Having freedom to communicate. Posted by: John Beckley | March 04, 2010 at 01:36 AM John, Antonio, John -- yes strange indeed! Thanks Steve for your perspective. Gang, Steve McClure has been in Japan for a long time. He is the former bureau chief for Billboard and is now Executive Editor, McClure’s Asia Music News Posted by: David Meerman Scott | March 04, 2010 at 05:16 AM This is excellent brand marketing for them! Where do I Paypal my money, JASRAC? I tried to send it to jasrac.LOL [at] yahoo.co.jp but it didn't work. Hey, why stop there? They need to set up revenue trackers on Stumbleupon, Digg, Delicious, and Reddit. Posted by: Chris @ The Basement Entrepreneur | March 04, 2010 at 11:16 AM I agree with this Japanese society. JASRAC say that they want people to understand that the Internets is not a private forum and that Twitter is just like a blog or site where publishing lyrics is illegal. Would not be surprised if they go after folks who upload videos of themselves singing. Although they do require Karaoke parlors to pay a fee for the music being played to their customers.

Nikes Khagram is founding partner and director of KSEYE As the stamp duty holiday draws to a close, we mark the end of one of the more remarkable periods that the UK property market has ever seen. It is clear from the data that the government’s plan to stimulate the market came to fruition, and in some style. According to the ONS, average UK house prices spiked 13.2% year-on-year to June 2021, while figures from HMRC reveal that the same month saw the more property transactions completed than any other month on record. It is no coincidence that these figures coincide with the first tapering down of rates, as buyers and investors rushed to take advantage of tax savings worth up to £15,000. That UK property is also highly attractive to investment from abroad is, in many ways, largely a consequence of the dependability of this asset class, but is equally significant in the inexorable upward climb of house prices on these isles. In CBRE’s 2021 EMEA Investor Intentions Survey, it was found that London remains the most appealing city in Europe for property investors. This comes in spite of fears that Brexit, and the trend during the pandemic among buyers to leave the city for properties in more rural areas, would leave the capital a weakened body in the eyes of investors. In the wake of the SDLT holiday, the question now is what the coming months will have in store for the market. On the one hand, it is feasible to suggest that as countries (and their economies) around the world begin to restart in earnest, the UK could be the beneficiary of the releasing of a bottleneck of investment capital, on a scale which could be fairly inelastic to the additional cost of a revived stamp duty. Conversely, however, it is anticipated that, given the flurry of activity in the market over the past year, we will see a much cooler market in the final quarter of 2021. How could the market shape up in Q4? Naturally, a calming of market activity will have an influence on price behaviours – though speculation that the property boom has reached unsustainable levels and must therefore be promptly followed by bust are likely overblown. As mentioned before, property investment is almost uniquely popular in the UK, and long-term incremental growth over many decades highlights this. For instance, data from Halifax’s house price index shows that in the last 20 years, the value of UK property has more than trebled. When factoring in that this period includes five prime ministers, a global economic recession, Brexit, and a global pandemic, there is an air of undeniable resilience to the market, which suggests it is predisposed on an aggregate level to anchor the UK economy. Of course, there are a number of social and political reasons underpinning this; property value and liquidity in the market has been prioritised by successive governments – yet this forms more of an argument for confidence in the stability of the market, rather than against. Limited supply and, more recently, low interest rates have also driven up property values and buyer demand, respectively. These trends will not dissipate any time soon. House prices are forecast to grow by 3.5% a year between 2022 and 2024, signalling that the sensible approach to analysing the stamp duty’s influence is to view it as having an acceleratory and stimulating effect on the longstanding direction of travel, which will stabilise into something more sustainable. Caution must be exercised With price levels currently at record highs, of course the sector must be guarded against the possibility that we will see some form of downward correction in the coming months, which could, at worst, leave those who took advantage of the tax relief unable to sell property due to the value falling below the value of the property finance they secured against the asset, resulting in a future market standstill. There are further long-term concerns that the sector must consider with sincerity; with prices at record levels, and rural areas seeing enormous growth relative to well-established urban real estate, prospective first-time buyers who missed out on this tax relief may meet a challenge in accessing the property ladder, even in traditionally lower-value areas. For lenders, the message right now is to demonstrate responsibility and diligence. We must monitor how the market transitions from such a frenetic period into the so-called “new normal”. And while a somewhat cautious approach would prove wise, we can remain confident the UK’s love affair with bricks and mortar is as strong as ever.

Change fields, such as engaged philanthropy often treat “knowledge work” either as learning process, information management, or evaluation. However, Knowledge Designs to Change, believes that social change is not fully served by these constructs alone. We understand knowledge design as much broader and more connected to strategies to achieve exponential change. Knowledge design inherently involves asking questions, not only about feedback, data, and measures, but also about power, voice, and access. Our approach is to collaborate within the unique social context of each foundation and change effort; to build on the organization’s culture and relationships; and to draw upon a variety of creative methods to illuminate, deepen, and even drive change strategy. We are committed to positive and passionate action for social change through the practice of knowledge creation and the building of both the fields of knowledge development and philanthropy as strategic and connected investments into equity.
The Lexus LFA started life in 2001 as no more than a study but, via the enthusiasm of its engineers and Toyota’s commitment to R&D, it gained its own momentum. At first it was going to be aluminium, but Lexus opted for carbonfibre-reinforced plastic instead. Then mules ran at the Nürburgring for well over five years, and prototypes competed in the 24-hour race there in 2008 and 2009. Three concepts were shown, including a roadster in 2008. The production LFA made its debut at the Tokyo motor show last year. Lexus immediately set new standards for refinement when it launched its luxury LS saloon in 1989 and with the LFA it’s trying to rewrite the rulebook for supercars. When Lexus (backed, of course, by Toyota) decides that it’s going to do something new, it doesn’t do things by half: the LFA is a limited-run, carbonfibre special, making the breadth of Lexus’s range quite extraordinary. Lexus says it aimed for a weight distribution of 48 per cent front and 52 per cent rear. To this end, a 4.8-litre V10 is set as far back in the frontal engine bay as possible, with a torque tube to a rear transaxle housing the single-clutch robotised manual gearbox. Within its skin, though, lies the real delight. Its body is carbonfibre composite (left naked beneath the bonnet and bootlid), as is the vast majority of the monocoque chassis beneath. The passenger cell is carbonfibre, as is most of the rear of the car, while 35 per cent of the body-in-white is aluminium, including the engine frame and, sensibly, the impact structures to the front and rear, offering sacrificial protection to the carbonfibre tub.

Hey, happy fucking Monday to all you brain-dead metal heads. Here’s a big collection of new music and news that I came across at the start of my bleary-eyed morning today. LOST SOCIETY I’ve confessed before that straight-up old-school thrash is not among the metal genres that are nearest and dearest to my black heart. In addition, I’ve become even more numb due to the avalanche of re-thrash releases by many new bands who all sound alike to me. But with that said, I’m digging the shit out of a new song clip that premiered today by a Finnish band named Lost Society. The song title alone hooked me: “Braindead Metal Head”. And then the music Finnish-ed me off. It’s a jet-fueled, out-of-control thrash rocket with multiple warheads. The riffing is catchy as fuck, the vocals are pleasingly drunk on the high energy, and the obligatory guitar solo is a first-class trip to shred city. This is speed metal I can get behind. The video strings together words of high praise by the likes of Mille Petrozza (Kreator), Schmier (Destruction), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Craig Locicero (Forbidden), and Kragen Lum (Heathen), and they might know what they’re talking about.

So I am reading Neil Shubin’s Your Inner Fish, which as noted I was eagerly anticipating. My immediate reaction is that it will be a good little book for non-experts, but the very basic overview of topics and stilted writing style (think of the exact opposite of Stephen Jay Gould’s long, comma-filled, complex sentence constructions) will be less engaging to biologist readers. I suspect that I do not reflect the target audience, though, so no major complaint here. The title of the book refers to species such as Tiktaalik roseae (which Dr. Shubin and his colleagues discovered, to much deserved acclaim), an extinct species that, in retrospect, held characteristics that we may consider transitional between fishes and terrestrial tetrapods. Whereas Tiktaalik itself is probably not a direct ancestor of ours, I don’t have much of a problem with the “inner fish” idea on the basis of this comparison. After all, we’re talking about extinct ancestors (or things similar to ancestors) that were fishes and from whom we have inherited some persistent characteristics despite the many changes that have occurred in our lineage. But then on p. 59, in a discussion of developmental regulatory genes which are similar in sequence and effect in different model organisms, we find: An “inner fly” helped find an “inner chicken”, which ultimately helped Randy [Dahn, one of Shubin’s students] find an “inner skate”. The connections among living creatures run deep. Here is a phylogeny of the organisms being discussed, all of them modern species: At no time was there a fly in vertebrate ancestry. There was no skate in the ancestry of terrestrial vertebrates. The ancestral amniote was not a chicken. (And, while we’re on the subject, the ancestor of humans was not a chimp). There is a common ancestor shared by all of these contemporary animals, but it was not a fly any more than it was a human. Humans do not have inner flies — and equally, flies do not have inner humans. If anything, both have an “inner-common-ancestor-of-metazoans”, but admittedly that is more accurate than it is memorable. Good point. “Inner fish” metaphor might be appropriate, since humans are technically “fish” (sensu: guppies + sharks > tunicates). But “inner fly” might as well be “inner redwood.” Haven’t read the book yet, but I’m always interested to hear what other Neils have to say. Neil(Quote) How about “inner worm” for all triploblastic metazoans? The MRCA of the triploblasts was probably worm-like, right? RPM(Quote) Well, “worm” is a vague term applied to several groups, but if someone said “inner worm” in regards to a modern species of worm (e.g., a nematode or annelid), then this would be incorrect. The main point is that you cannot take a modern species from one group and talk about it as though it were the ancestor of another modern species.Especially when nothing even remotely like the species in question was an ancestor of the other species under discussion. TR Gregory(Quote) “Striving to be man, the worm Mounts through all the spires of form.” -Emerson (Not Darwin!) I don’t think Shubin means to suggest that we literally evolved through a fly phase. I’m sure he knows better even if his wording was unclear. I think he means to suggest that we have an “inner fly” to the extent that we share homologous features (and DNA sequence)with flies. In this sense, there is a part of you that is identical a fly. Or maybe Shubin is a closet transcendentalist who believes in the Aristotelian great chain of being. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.

EXTRA 5 weird fitness tips that work There are a lot of tips and tricks out there that the affirmation of the “experts” will benefit your fitness. If you are a little overwhelmed by all this, we have compiled a list of five fitness tips that, although they may seem a bit strange, should give you concrete results. one Chocolate milk as a recovery drink It may not be the first thing you would consider drinking after your workout, but chocolate milk is thought to be an excellent option to help you recover. The results of a study conducted by the University of Indiana found that athletes who drank chocolate milk were not as tired in their second intense workout, compared to participants who took a sports drink on board. Another study by researchers at the University of Texas endorsed these findings. Athletes who received chocolate milk in their study had faster race times compared to athletes who drank sports drinks. Chocolate milk is thought to be a good recovery drink since it contains proteins, calcium and antioxidants. two Add ice to your water bottle A simple but effective fitness trick is to add ice to the bottle of water you use during your workouts. A study conducted by a researcher at the Stanford University School of Medicine found that obese participants exercised for longer when they had a cooling device, compared to those who did not. The research proposed that women who had something cold could exercise for longer because their internal temperature increased more slowly. The women did not endure so much heat and as a result they were able to continue with their training. Freeze your water bottle before or add some ice cubes to try to increase the amount of time you can exercise. 3 Run barefoot The issue of running barefoot has been a great controversy in the world of athletics since the book Born to Run was published in 2009. Many people joined the idea of leaving the shoes, claiming that barefoot training can benefit your health and your Health. training; Especially for runners who are prone to injuries. However, the debate around this fitness council is still ongoing and research on running barefoot is somewhat limited. Barefoot, a Toronto-based group that supports the idea, says running without shoes can improve circulation, poor posture and give you stronger bones. His claims are supported by another study that found that running barefoot resulted in a four percent reduction in energy expenditure. Therefore, running without your shoes could improve your race time and increase the time you can run. 4 Caffeine This is an excellent advice for all coffee lovers. The University of Nebraska discovered that consuming caffeine before a workout before a workout can help you burn more fat during your workout. This is because caffeine can increase your metabolism and black coffee before exercise can cause the body to burn fat as an energy source, as opposed to glycogen. Another study from the University of Illinois found that those who consumed caffeine before their training reported less muscle pain than those who did not take any on board. This quick fitness tip may help you train longer and with greater intensity. Along with all this, caffeine can also help improve your concentration so you can make the most of your workouts. 5 Get vocal If you want to improve your fitness, it may be time for you to start shouting about it. In a physical conditioning program, IntenSati works on this principle, encouraging participants in their classes to express themselves and recite positive affirmations and phrases such as: “I am strong” and “I can do this” when performing exercises such as interval training , dance, martial arts and yoga. IntenSati says that training the mind, body and spirit and the concept behind the technique is that shouting words of encouragement helps to motivate the individual and change his mentality towards training. Vocal addition to classes is also used as a way to distract participants from any fatigue or pain they may feel during training. And if you are very serious about losing weight, you must try a Free weight loss kickstart, nothing to lose, and all the world to gain.

Gossip Girl Clips: Scandals, Haters, Freaky Friday and White Trashby Steve Marsi at . Comments In our weekly Gossip Girl Round Table, we debated whether there's any chance Louis bounces back from his back-to-back, foiled attempts at scheming. This clip from Monday's episode may offer a clue. Blair believes she is close to figuring out the key to Louis' virtue after Dorota offers a "Freaky Friday" theory. GG writer Sara Goodman suggests fans will be happy and sad about the resolution. Hmm ... Meanwhile, Max is dating Serena to gain her trust and threatening to expose "white trash" Ivy if she doesn't come up with a half million. Gotta hand it to the guy, he's gonna fit right in on the UES. We see a whole new side of Cece at a party at Studio 54 (hence the episode title), which will no doubt lead to some big confrontations. Parties have a way of bringing people together on this show. At the Spectator, Nate gets a tip about a Congressman's wife cheating on him - and that public official is none other than his cousin Trip. What's unclear is how the newly-minted editor will handle it. Finally, Dan goes to war with the Dan haters on Amazon and Twitter, and finds that the biggest detractor is not who he expected. Who do you think is bashing him online? Vanessa maybe? *Shiver* Check out this sneak preview of a scene from "Rhodes to Perdition" below, as well as a bunch of other clips in the producers' two-and-a-half minute preview of next Monday's episode ... Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Gossip Girl, Spoilers, Clips Ok, so acording to this I can see some really good story line material for both Dan and Nate. IF the writers can pull it trough, of course. NATE: So now we can see that by now, Nate is going to be the head of The Spectator, this storyline has MAJOR possibilities, if written correctly. From one side, we can see a new side of Nate, one that shows what he hadn't done before, like, be responsable and very efficient. A Bussiness-Man Nate. On the other side, keep the guess about the ulterior motives from the Grandfather, and somehow intriguinly connected to Diana. Classic "show me your and I'll show you mine" kinda trick. And on the OTHER other side, we have the "family vs work" with this alarming news. We have seen on the last episode, what kinda journalist he would be: the honest one. It could be a great twist if he find out of power corrupted Nate, by slaying his cousin's career on the media. DAN: Ok so Dan it's going to be very interesting I believe. I can think now that maybe this whole publishing story line was going to end when The Insider went of the charts, yet I can see a continuiting here. Gossip Girl has always been about one character versus another one, Blair vs Serena; Chuck vs Dan; everyone vs Georgina, and so on and so on. The only other time I saw this kinda storyline was with Chuck last season and the beggining of this one. Is about Dan fighting Dan. He is going to have to accept that his future may not be a bed of roses, he may have to accept that maybe his book is not stellar, but at least it was known. And also, reviewing his whole book just to see if he did justice with his friends. A whole reprospective storyline, if Dan can struggle a bit about his coming to terms with his life. What more accurate than LONELY BOY fighting his own deamons... alone. I DO wish that at some point Blair comes to the rescue. He has been there for her SO MANY TIMES, that it would be a fresh restart for the foundation of their relationship. Whatever that may be. You know I have DAIRING HEART and I hope that they can get their chance. Unfortunetly, I cannot see that the show may approach that particular direction just yet. CHUCK AND BLAIR: So, I was CHAIR, then I was DAIR, and now my head is fuzzing. I mean, I LOVE DAIR, but with everything that is going on, maybe CHAIR could be an OK thing, right? Ok, so I'll be honest, when I heard the whole "redemption of Chuck" I was like UGH! Because I tought that the writters would give that storyline literally 3 episodes and resolve it just in time for Blair to announcing she pregnant with C's child. BANG! They are together before you know it. That could have been boring. So what I believe is that they should postergate a CHAIR comeback... A LOT. And I'll expand later on that one. Coming back, for one thing, right now Blair is having Louis' baby, there's NO DOUBT about that. I mean, even if B hadn't seen the result, when the Prince did find it, he surely read the content. But that's unlikely, since Blair did not look surprised at all when she saw Louis with the envelope. Right now she is in denial, and Chuck is in a process of self recuperation, so not just yet. So... I have a theory about a major story line. I was thinking the following: So BLAIR and CHUCK get together once more for one last time, and by some reason is Chuck's fault that she looses her baby. Louis finds out why she had a misscarriage and leaves her on the altar, she blaims Chuck for all that happened to her and hates him. Chuck may try to redeem himself, but she seeks comfort on Dan's arms, yet finds out a VER LONELY AND TORMENTED BOY, trying to assume his reality. She ends up helping him and connect even more. Their relationship grows even deeper. At this point Blair could be confused between Chuck and Dan. Almost on the verge of the Season 5 finale, DUCK finds out B's confusion and Chuck gives Blair an ultimatum. He pulls of the "Affair to remember" fiasco and tell her to meet him at the Empire State biulding or something. He waits and waits. In the meantime, B is struggling, bit time. She finally reads Dan's book and takes her desision and goes to her lover's destination, only to arrive to Brooklin and knock on Dan's door, saying that she finally read the book. She kisses him, a lot, and then it cuts to another scene where we watch Chuck has been waiting for HOURS this time until it get very dark and the security ask him to leave the building. This could be a GREAT cliffhanger for S6. Besides, we could get some real DAIR, for at least half a season. Until they broke up by mutual agreement but remain VERY CLOSE FRIENDS. I mean REAL CLOSE. Best. No benefits BTW. And they can build up CHAIR so by the END OF THE SHOW on S6, the writers pull a "Dawson's Creek" and decide on the very last 3 minutes to show who will be B's ENDGAME. To wrap this up, all I wanna say is that GOSSIP GIRL IS GETTING BORDERLINE "TELENOVELA". Really, all we are missing is a person getting on an accident and get amnesia or end up in a wheelchair, only to discover he/she was faking the whole thing. So, really GG, PULL IT TOGETHER MAN! DanFan hahahaha hilarious We become happy because: Blair begins to realize she still loves Chuck, and we find out that he is the father. Then we get mad because: Blair looses the baby. CALLED IT!! Nate is sucha cutie pie CHAIR BABY! YEAH! Ed Westwick is soooo cute here! I'm pretty sure those promos are from last episode...I mean it's the same story ...and so was the week before that .....and the week before the week before that....wait, what day is today...Is it... Groundhog day? OK I have several things to say about the episode preview, which is an outstanding fact to me because I usually hate them (and I'm still kinda hating the part when the producers speak on this one), but at least they are improving in the clips they choose: As much as I find Max's turn to blackmail refreshing because nobody saw it comming, I can't help taking Ivy's side on the White Trash comment clip. Who does this guy think he is, Chuck Bass? Nate's face when he hears about Tripp is priceless. Theory: what if the Grandfather knew all this time about the affair and that's why he wanted Nate to run this kind of paper, to make sure the story would be buried? It does sound unrealistic because any other newspaper or tabloid can get this scoop, so I don't know. Btw I never saw comming that Nate's storyline in this episdoe would be with Tripp, I thought it would be Blair, Diana or maybe Chuck. Chuck's face when Blair sits down and who knows what she keeps saying seems to say "This woman! This is the last thing I needed today". Seriously, he probably suffers just with her presence, it must be a torture. Dan, now you are going to know what I think almost every person who has posted on this site has felt at least once. I kinda find endearing that his storyline going to reflect a experience similar to the one experienced by many fans of this show when commenting it on the net. As for the biggest hater, Vanessa is too obvious, I would bet on Nate or Serena, though Nate seems kinda busy right now. I don't think Blair because she also seems too busy for this, and I hope the writers are not going to kill his new friendship with Chuck by making Chuck to be the hater (plus, I can't imagine Chuck dedicating time to this kind of sabotage, his M.O. tends to be of other kind). A surprising twist would be Rufus! But it his father, and as pissed he may have been with the book that would be sick. I can't imagine Lily doing this either) After seeing the Cece, Lily and Charlie/Ivy said, I have to say this: Cece had some nerve critizing or meddling in Lily and Serena's romantice lives when she was getting marriage proposals in the late 70's, surely after her divorce of Richard Rhodes. And she wonders where Lily got her bad ways? Having serial wedding proposolas comes from Cece! Hahaha I love DAN fighting the DAN HATERS! I hate Max. i just want chair alreadyyy

Volume 9, Number 5—May 2003 Dispatch Chronic Wasting Disease in Free-Ranging Wisconsin White-Tailed Deer On This Page Downloads Suggested citation for this article Three White-Tailed Deer shot within 5 km during the 2001 hunting season in Wisconsin tested positive for chronic wasting disease, a prion disease of cervids. Subsequent sampling within 18 km showed a 3% prevalence (n=476). This prevalence indicates a significant range extension for chronic wasting disease into the eastern United States. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is degenerative and usually considered to be fatal in White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus), Mule Deer (O. hemionus), and Elk (Cervus elaphus) associated with the presence of transmissible protease-resistant prion proteins (PrPcwd) (1,2). Although the transmission route of PrPcwd is unknown, it may be transmitted in deer and elk by direct or indirect contact from the environment (1,2). In experiments, clinical signs have appeared as early as 15 months after exposure (1) and include weight loss, anorexia, repetitive behaviors, hyperesthesia, and intractability. Signs progress to severe emaciation, extreme behavioral changes, excessive salivation, tremors, and mild ataxia (1,2). CWD was first recognized in captive Mule Deer in Colorado (3) and subsequently described in the free-ranging cervid populations of Colorado and Wyoming (1); prevalence in these disease-endemic areas varies spatially and among the three sympatric cervid species (4). Before its discovery in Wisconsin, CWD was detected in captive cervid farms in Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Kansas, Montana (USA), as well as Alberta, Saskatchewan (Canada), and South Korea (1). Apart from the contiguous areas of Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, CWD had previously only been detected in two free-ranging Mule Deer from Saskatchewan, one Mule Deer from South Dakota, and in a number of Mule Deer from the western slopes region of Colorado (1). Previously, no cases of CWD were reported east of the Mississippi River; however, subsequent to our research, CWD-positive cervids were found in Minnesota (captive elk), and Wisconsin (captive White-tailed Deer). Further, west of Mississippi, CWD-positive Mule deer have been found in New Mexico and Utah, free-ranging White-tailed Deer in Saskatchewan, Canada, and captive White-tailed Deer in Alberta, Canada. On CWD-positive free-ranging Mule Deer was discovered in New Mexico. In autumn of 1999 and 2000, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) submitted to the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) (Ames, Iowa) brain material (obex) from 657 hunter-killed White-tailed Deer registered at hunter check stations across the state. None came from the study area we describe. Samples were tested for CWD prion by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (5). Prion was not detected in any samples. However, 3 of 445 White-tailed Deer shot in autumn of 2001 were positive for CWD. These deer were males, 2.5 years of age, and were shot within 5 km in south-central Wisconsin. WDNR subsequently conducted a sampling program to assess the distribution and prevalence of CWD in the vicinity of these three positive deer. We report the results of this sampling program. Samples were collected from 500 adult (>1 year of age) White-tailed Deer within an approximate 18-km radius, and all samples were tested for CWD. Deer were submitted by hunters who were issued scientific collection permits to collect deer at roadside after a vehicular collision or collected by hunters for WDNR or U.S. Department of Agriculture. Data from collected deer included the geographic location based on the Wisconsin Public Land Survey System (township-range-section), sex, and age (estimated by using tooth eruption and tooth wear patterns). Location of kill was indicated on a map by hunters during interviews by DNR staff (6). Samples of brain stem (obex) and retropharyngeal lymphatic tissue were fixed in 10% of buffere formalin and submitted to NVSL for testing using IHC. We considered a deer to be CWD positive if either obex or retropharyngeal samples were IHC positive (1). We used the spatial scan statistic provided by Kulldorff and Nagarwalla (7) (program SaTScan available from: URL:) to assess the presence and location of CWD clusters within the surveillance area. Location data were collected to the survey unit “section” (approximately 2.6 km2). We pooled locations into 4X4 section quadrants for analysis to compensate for sections from which no deer were collected. In a separate analysis, sex and age were assessed as predictors of CWD status by using logistic regression (function glm in program R v. 1.5.0; available from: URL:) (8). Model selection uncertainty was incorporated into the odds ratio (OR) estimates by using model averaging (9). Figure From March 2 to April 9, 2002, samples were collected from 505 deer; however, 29 deer were not included in the analysis because of sample autolysis, inappropriate tissue submission, or lack of availability of appropriate tissues (e.g., deer with no intact cranium or those shot in the head). Of the remaining 476 deer (87 males, 386 females, and 3 for which sex was not recorded), 15 (3.2%; 95% confidence limit [CI] 1.7% to 5.1%) were IHC positive, 11 in both obex and retropharyngeal lymph node samples and 4 from lymph nodes only. We inferred that deer that were only lymph node positive were in the earlier states of infection (1). Estimated prevalence varied spatially within the surveillance area. A cluster of higher than expected prevalence was detected in the north-central region of the sampling area (prevalence 9.4%; 95% CI 5.0% to 16.0%; p=0.003; n=127) (Figure). Prevalence did not vary by sex (males: 3.4%, 95% CI 0.1% to 9.7%, n=87; females: 3.1%, 95% CI 1.6% to 5.3%, n=386; male vs. female OR 1.1, 95% CI 0.56 to 2.19), a pattern consistent with Mule Deer sampled in Colorado and Wyoming (4). Increasing prevalence with age was suggested, although we could not distinguish whether the OR differed from 1 (OR 1.13, 95% CI 0.93 to 1.39). We had a small sample (n=32) of older animals (>5 years of age), which weakened our ability to detect an increase in prevalence with age statistically. Miller et al. (4) found that CWD prevalence increased with age in male Mule Deer and then abruptly declined in older age classes. We did not have a sufficient sample size to evaluate a sex difference in prevalence by age. The known range of CWD was extended by its detection in Wisconsin, which is the first report of the disease east of the Mississippi River. Although we do not know how the free-ranging deer population of Wisconsin became affected by CWD, the most commonly suggested hypothesis is that CWD in Wisconsin may have emerged through importing of an affected cervid. The current enzootic of CWD in free-ranging deer and elk is paralleled by an enzootic in the captive cervid industry, and the relationship between CWD-affected elk farms and recent (2000–2002) diagnoses of CWD in free-ranging deer in Nebraska, South Dakota, and Saskatchewan remains under investigation (1). Elk were imported to Wisconsin from CWD-affected herds in Colorado during the 1990s, and recently (September and October 2002) captive White-tailed Deer were found to be positive on two separate farms in central and southern Wisconsin (10). Furthermore, during epidemiologic investigations of these positive farms, we discovered that deer had escaped in March 2002 from one of these farms, one of which was later shot and found to be CWD positive (9). We stress that these positive captive deer are likely not the source of CWD in this free-ranging White-tailed Deer outbreak because of the captive deer’s distance from the area where the free-ranging deer are (approximately 130 km). No direct evidence exists that CWD came to Wisconsin by the captive cervid industry. However, further investigation on possible links between CWD cases in captive and free-ranging cervids in Wisconsin is ongoing. The state of Wisconsin is undertaking an integrated research, surveillance, and management program to determine the distribution of CWD in Wisconsin free-ranging deer population and eventually eliminating the disease from the known affected area of south-central Wisconsin (10,11). In March 2003, a total of 39,636 deer had been sampled statewide for CWD as part of this surveillance and management program (data are available from: URL:). Computer simulation of CWD dynamics in western cervid populations (12) indicated that CWD could severely reduce deer numbers. Disease transmission may occur at a greater rate and consequently have a larger impact on the population in the eastern United States, where White-tailed Deer densities are typically an order of magnitude larger than western deer and elk populations (e.g., deer densities in the CWD-affected area are estimated to be currently >150 deer per km2) (WDNR, unpub. data). Deer and deer-related activities, such as hunting, wildlife viewing, and other social factors, are an important component of the Wisconsin culture and economy (approximately $1 billion/year) (13), prompting an aggressive research and management strategy to combat CWD in Wisconsin’s free-ranging deer population.

What does it mean to "probate an estate"? In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Probate and Family Court oversees the settlement of estates for deceased residents. Whether or not you die having left a will, your estate will be probated through this court system, provided you have left assets in your own name, and provided those assets exceed $15,000, excluding the value of your automobile. An attorney experienced in probate practice will assist family members to: - collect asset and debt information - file timely tax returns (perhaps referring the preparation to appropriate tax professionals) - file appropriate court documents - obtain a license to sell real estate, if necessary or deemed prudent - deal with creditors and insolvency - obtain releases of the estate tax lien, where necessary - prepare inventories of assets and file accounts with the court as necessary - assist with proper distribution of the estate among beneficiaries Probating an estate is often a lengthy process, by necessity, because the estate must usually remain "open" until at least a year has passed, to give creditors time to file liens for debts owed, and also to ensure that any state or federal tax obligations are satisfied. An experienced probate attorney can make this lengthy process less stressful, particularly for family members who may already be carrying a heavy burden of grief. * *
About Him Living... on the 69th floor of an unnamed, but awesome, building. As a global celebrity, Duke lives in a lavish suite with his two live-in pop star girlfriends. He’ll also sometimes retreat to his Duke Cave to handle more serious issues like talking to the president or getting some cold beers. Profession... champion of Earth. Duke began his legendary heroic career in the U.S. Army, and later the CIA. However, after saving the Earth from alien invaders (multiple times), Duke now lives as a worldwide superstar. But when the invaders return he’s ready to get right back to business. Interests… himself. Duke loves a lot of things: money, women, nice cars, cigars, kicking alien butt, and big guns. But at the end of the day there’s nothing Duke loves more than himself. As he likes to say, “Hail to the king, baby.” Relationship Status... swinging bachelor. Duke loves the ladies so much he could never settle for just one. So when he’s not defending Earth from aliens, he’s trying to score as much action as humanly possible. And when he does have a steady girlfriend, it’s usually more than one. Challenge... protecting the Earth. The alien invaders already have a grudge against Duke after being beaten by him so badly so often. But when they decide to kidnap our women to get revenge, things get even more personal. Duke doesn’t mind too much, though, as beating back an alien invasion is all in day’s work. As he puts it: “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I’m all out of bubble gum.” Personality... macho to the max. Shamelessly driven by the desire to kill aliens and see boobs, Duke Nukem is everything right and wrong (but mostly wrong) with classic, hyper-masculine American action heroes. Duke Nukem's popularity ranking on CharacTour is #2665 out of 5,300+ characters. See our top-ranked characters and read their profiles.
If you follow the National Basketball Association then you know that there are some pretty big names out there with the ability to opt out of their contracts this summer. Most notably Lebron, Wade, and Chris Bosh. However, New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony can opt out as well. There have been rumors that Chicago is his preferred destination, with Los Angeles a close second. The Bulls would have to make room for him financially, but they have to make it happen. And here are three reasons why he needs to leave New York: Credit: Reason 1- In the NBA, with exception of the 2004 Detroit Pistons and 2011 Dallas Mavericks, every championship team has at least 2 superstars. And Chicago's lone star Derrick Rose, has been injury prone and there is concern about his longevity. But he can't carry the team on those achy knees any longer. He is the focal point of the offense and teams put their best defenders on him in the 4th quarter. Anthony provides the other scoring option that Chicago needs to take some of that attention off Derrick. And Anthony needs the help just as bad. As a Bull, he wouldn't need to shoot 30 times a game and score 35 points a night. Reason 2- The Bulls are a defensive dominant team, and defense isn't Melo's forte. However, they currently have defensive liability Carlos Boozer and are still a top 5 defense under coach Tom Thibodeau; so that's not a valid argument. But they have always lacked the offensive firepower to keep up with the Miami Heat. Carmelo once averaged 27.8 pts per game in a 5 game series loss to the Heat in 2012. And that was with a mediocre Knicks squad. Imagine if he had the likes of Rose, Joakim Noah, or Taj Gibson with him? With a healthy Rose and Carmelo, I would take Chicago over Miami in a 7 game series any day. Reason 3- The Knicks won't be a real threat in the Eastern conference for a while. Even with Anthony, they will never truly threaten the Heat, Pacers or Bulls. And if Brooklyn can ever get healthy, they wont even the best team in their own state! So if Carmelo is serious about winning a title, the Bulls are his best opportunity. He will be 30 this year, so he only has about 3-4 good years left in him. And the only advantage he has of staying in New York is that under the collective bargaining agreement they can offer him 5 years/129 million versus 4 years/96 million from other suitors. Now, I do understand that an extra year and 33 million more dollars is nothing to scoff at, but does he want to make more money or get that elusive title? We shall see in about 5 months. Don't hold your breath Bulls and Knicks fans!
4. Mix it up. Don’t be afraid to try different genres. This may mean throwing in the unexpected song with the mandatory hit you know is a crowd pleaser. In some cases, you can use the same artist here and there to encourage the flow of familiar sounds. 3. “How Deep Is Your Love?” — Bee Gees cover, performed by The Bird and the Bee An attention-grabber. Most people are familiar with the Bee Gees’ original, so they’re probably going to listen and — as the song plays on — take notice of unfamiliar voices covering the disco classic. A real conversation piece. 5. Go with the flow. Make sure there’s a good flow to the music you’ve selected. I like to start slow and steady, with a little build up to a more upbeat tempo. Toward the middle, I like to go all out — the works! This is a good time for the unexpected and silly little unknowns, or even funny sound bites. Toward the end of a good party, there should be a mellow slowdown, which usually signifies that the party is coming to a close. This is a good time to play some “slow jams.” Don’t play one of these unless that’s your intention, because it’s a powerful tool, and will signal the party’s end. 4. “To Be Loved” — Joan as Police Woman Gets right to the point: why are we all here gathered today? Joan explains it best while still staying in the mood. NOTE: No live tracks! Live music is suited for one place and one place only: on a stage, live! If you’re not there, it’s not live. 5. “Somersault” — Zero 7, featuring Sia It’s a simple choice: my husband and I love Sia and the song is true to the mood, and even includes the words printed on our invitation: “You’re the warmth in my summer breeze/ You’re the ivory to my ebony keys/ You would share your last jellybean/ You would somersault in sand with me.” (As a further tie-in, our party favors were jars of jellybeans, with a note at the bottom of each jar that said, “Share your last jellybean.”) 6. “Day Too Soon” — Sia The mix is clearly telling a story ... have you figured it out yet? This slow, soulful vocal shows how this day has come happily, and not a day too soon. Below is a sample playlist (the short version) I created for my recent wedding reception. My goals were to set the mood, create a theme, and Pump Up the Jams do it in a fresh, unexpected way with music not So we’ve got the love thing down, now let’s get the everyone had heard before. The trick was to make it groove on and entice the dancers to move. The comfortable for every guest, young and old, while not theme’s still there, but the tempo is faster, the resorting to the clichéd wedding songs we all know beat is funkier, and the mood is fun. and loathe. Easy, Breezy, Meaningful The first six songs are slower ballads, a bit moody, but with a quirky sense of humor thrown in to keep things light and interesting for the close listener. The theme of each song is obvious, and tells us why we’re all gathered together — to celebrate love. 1. “I Wish U Heaven” — Prince cover, performed by Bugge Wesseltoft and Anneli Drecker A great starter for the occasion — a peaceful track with a powerful buildup, but simple lyrics that won’t distract. The twist: it’s sung by a woman, and not Prince. 2. “We’ve Only Just Begun” — The Carpenters A true classic, and quite literally the beginning of what’s to come. 7. “You’re My Flame” (Justus Kohncke Vox Mix) — Zero 7, featuring Sia We got the beat, and here it is: the moment the mood will change. Welcome to Uptempoville, otherwise known as “damn, that’s my jam!” This is when the hips start moving and the party livens up. It’s also a cool remix by the same musicians in songs 5 and 6, so it makes for an easy sonic transition. 8. “Beautiful Days” — Fantastic Plastic Machine The colorful vocals on this track are surprisingly beautiful and the lyrics drive it home. A good mid-set track, upbeat with lots of highs and lows. 9. “You Sexy Thing” — Hot Chocolate cover,performed by Deee-LiteAnother unexpected twist to a classic hit. We allknow the 1975 classic, but watch people perk up

Beyond the Microphone with René Marie An interview with René Marie, the boldest, baddest face of Jazz. interview by Richelle Kimble This woman embodies the wholesome qualities and lore of an American leader. She’s audacious, confident and credible. She has lived through history and is influencing our future with her talent and valiance. Behind her decisions lie adoration for herself, others, and her country. Staying true to your roots is her wish for everyone; that small integration has been tested and teased as she grew into the woman she is today. At 59 years old, she has overcame apartheid, a split family, a divorce and remarriage, has raised two boys, and launched her jazz career at the ripe age of 42, all while managing to stay true to her own tune. Of course, being herself comes with challenges. She receives strong criticism for her valor, notably her stirring of America’s history of slavery and Southern race relations. Her decision to sing Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing to the tune of The Star Spangled Banner at Denver’s State of the City address in 2008 triggered plenty of backlash, but she remained proud of her efforts to shine attention on bold issues in America. Upon ending the conversation, I was appeased by her wisdom and pacified by her optimism. A spark incited within me to share her story. I hope words from this interview rouse you from life’s sometimes intrinsic slumber, as it did myself, and encourage notional thinking for higher competence. WLM: What are your thoughts on being an American? Rene Marie: It was being able to write that suite, The Voice of My Beautiful Country, and sing those patriotic songs in a way that reflected my own upbringing and experiences, that brought everything together for me. After singing that album many times, I feel very much at home here, very much at home. Describe the first time you sang for an audience. It was Halloween, and I was ten years old. I had just moved away from my hometown, and my parents were freshly divorced. I moved with my mom and my baby brother but left five other siblings and my dad behind, who was a huge musical influence. There was a Halloween party that was being held down the street. Everyone was invited, and there was a talent show. All the kids got up on the “stage” and said poetry or sang a song. I was standing in the shadows of all these other kids going up there, thinking about my dad and how much I missed him. I walked out there and to the upstairs deck. No one knew who I was. I sang, A House is Not a Home all the way through, and then I ran home. I didn’t stop for anybody to say anything to me. I couldn’t believe I had done that! I sat on the stoops of our porch, our little duplex that my mom had managed to pay for, thinking, “Oh my goodness, they were applauding. They liked me. And I sang the whole thing in key. I want to do this!” From then on, I had it in the back of my mind that singing is what I wanted to do. What are you listening to right now? I hardly ever listen to music. I love music, and when I hear it, I have to dance and sing to it. But in my home, I don’t listen to music. There’s always music in my head; original melody lines, sometimes an entire song of lyrics. When I listen to music, my own thoughts get blocked and pushed to the side. Describe the meaning of your lip print tattoos. Self-love, girl! I wanna have kisses all over my body. I’ve been hearing older women talk about how they are ashamed of their arms, and they won’t wear anything sleeveless. I heard my mom say that about six weeks ago, and I was speechless. She’s 89, so I know what she means. But this all relates to the self-love I’m talking about. I struggle with this because I know that this culture’s view of beauty is often in the context of youth, and there’s something wrong with that. I don’t think I should have to cover up parts of my body just because I’m not a certain age and I look different than I used to. I bought a dress for the Grammys – it’s sleeveless. But I keep hearing what people are going to say or think to themselves about my arms. And I don’t want to think about that. I just want to say, “f— you guys! I’m going to the Grammys.” I don’t want to give in to that Hollywood glamour, or whatever the hell it is that constitutes beauty. I never want to succumb or surrender to that. I want to walk on that stage and be proud of everything that brought me to that place, including my body. Is there a story behind your hair? I was Jehovah’s Witnesses for ten years. I wore my hair unnaturally straight during that time because I thought that was more fitting. People who wore afros were considered militants, so I straightened it to avoid that. When I left, I let it grow out naturally, and then cut it to about two inches. I kept saying I wanted to shave my head, so I did. And I liked it! You know the story of Samson in The Bible? Well, my strength was opposite. My strength was the fact that my head was shaved. I felt like a stronger, more visible, viable life force. It sounds crazy, but I did. I felt more me. What’s your favorite shade of lipstick? The most blasphemous shade of red I can find (laughing). I want the heavy red! What keeps you inspired? I believe that each one of us is directly connected to universal energy. We have mountains within us and oceans within us. Knowing that and remembering it gives me some type of fuel that makes me break out with a smile on my face every day. I really do believe that no matter what is happening at any given time, it’s all okay. It’s more than okay. It’s exactly right. I do love life, and I believe that life loves me. It want’s to love us back. But we get so anxious about things, things that aren’t important. Like my arms showing. How trivial is that? When you’re on the road, what’s the first thing you do when you get to the hotel? I light my incense. We have a special brand that we burn at home. Even if it’s less for a minute when I burn it, it’s enough to remind me where my home is. And when you come home? Straight to my kitchen. I open the door to the refrigerator whether I’ve eaten or not. The kitchen to me is the solar plexus of the house. What are your other talents? I’m a champion nail biter (laughing). I can match heads with the best! I can juggle, and I’m a good storyteller. I can entertain children for days with stories. And I can tell tall tales – really crazy stuff – and I’ve gotten people to believe me. I enjoy cooking and gardening. I’m good at small landscaping. If you could tell women one thing, what would it be? In order to be yourself, risk everything. I had a conversation with a young woman over the weekend that is an amazing composer and singer. She’s also a mother of a 13-year-old and three-year-old. She wants to do nothing but write and is having doubts about being a mother. The artist in me wanted to tell her, “You have to do this thing that brings you joy.” The mother in me was saying, “What about your kids!?” I believe deep, deep down, that we don’t have to desert our families if we feel that way, but we do have to nurture the thing that is burning within us; because otherwise, we desert our families anyway. Risk whatever you have to follow the thing that lights you up. And find a way to love people in the doing of it. It doesn’t serve anything to serve small. What’s on your bucket list? I want to live in Italy for about three years. And I would love to see the aurora borealis. Go on a hot air balloon ride. But as long as I stay true, I can be happy. We are all born with our own inner note, and once we are born, we really resonate with that inner note. We can see all the possibilities. But when we grow older, and try to please other people, that’s where we get off key. As long as I stay true to my inner note, I’ll be happy. When she’s not editing for WLM and spending time with her fellow staff members, Richelle enjoys exploring, traveling, writing, reading, cooking, learning and playing.

Pineapple-Rhubarb Jam Recipe Sort By : "Simply delicious! Made as directed, was worried it wouldn't set, but left on counter 2 days and set up just fine. Had never used jello in place of pectin before, I canned it, made 6 jelly jars. I'm assuming it took longer to set due to the jello. We've already ate 2 jars in the past week! Definitely a keeper!" "I also used only 4 cups sugar and that still was plenty. Next time I will try 3 cups. The strawberry gelatin adds sweetness, too. Otherwise this is excellent and I will make it again." "Great flavor, the pineapple gets overpowered by the strawberry jello but helps add a little sweetness and acidity to the rhubarb. I made freezer jam (not canned) out of this and it worked great. Also only used 4 cups of sugar and it was plenty sweet"

The Good Ol' Days The flipside of technology is what we're going to call the "Good Ol' Days"—you know, that blissful time before technology, when all people did was lie in grass and eat strawberries, without a care in the world? That's the world of the pastoral, and it makes kind of splash in the flashback sections of Johnny Got His Gun. Okay, we're exaggerating a bit, but Joe sure does long for the days of childhood in Colorado. Basically, what he's feeling is nostalgia for a way of life where people grew their own vegetables and lived simple lives without the complications of big mean capitalist warfare. Many of us remember our childhoods fondly, but imagine how much more we'd miss those times if we were stuck in the trenches surrounded by the rotting bodies of our friends? The Good Ol' Days tend to be associated with our youth, because for whatever reason, a lot of us end up thinking that everything was better when you were younger, right? In Joe's youth, a lot of his positive memories tend to center around delicious homegrown goodness, such as: You might have noticed that the memories associated with the Good Ol' Days tend to revolve around the senses (smell and taste are big ones for the novel). Poor faceless Joe, of course, has been thrust into a world where metal bombs deny a person even these, the simplest and most basic of pleasures. That's one way of measuring the contrast between the pastoral and the technological in Johnny Got His Gun. Considering what Joe says about how he think the future will look (20.28), it's possible that he sees World War I as a catalyst that permanently separates the good ol' days (the past) from an inhuman world governed by technology and warfare (the future). We've got more to say about this idea, so be sure to take a peek at the "Nostalgia" section under "Tone." Join today and never see them again. Please Wait...
discover out! Below, we’re going to go into every element of this mattress, from its material makeup to its firmness, feel, competitors, and much, a lot more – . Given that then, the company’s included products work together, let’s dive into the layers! The Nectar starts reduce the sleeper into the firmer base below,. And lastly, we land on a layer of high-density poly foam. This thick material supplies the bed with its, working to support the softer convenience and transition layers. Similar to any feel element, firmness is subjective, and can change a lot depending on one’s size, shape, and weight. For that reason, my interpretation before hopping on this bed, I knew it was going to be extremely gentle, thanks to its thick top layers of memory foam. This material supplies the structure with a lots of, which suggests most folks will feel more “in” the bed than a convenient dandy pressure map!Using this gadget couldn’t be simpler: believe this may not be the very best mattress for rigorous back sleeping. The thick leading layers of memory foam supplied a lot of cause aches and pains in the morning. The memory foam of the Nectar is terrific for side sleepersLet’s finish up this section by taking a little look at movement transfer, which refers to great motion transfer results, which means. I’m not too shocked to see such low disturbance, as memory foam does a wonderful job of taking in and separating examining its construction, feel, and competition, it’s time to decide: Is this bed the right one for you? Sadly, I can’t make that choice for you, but I can leave you with a couple of final thoughts to help you on your way. In fact, anyone who actually, actually, actually loves will likely enjoy the Nectar as its feel is dominated by the luxurious product. I ‘d likewise say that the Nectar is a great, permanently guarantee, so you ought to be set for life!Nope, unless you want one! You ought to feel complimentary to roll out your Nectar on the flooring, a slatted bed frame, or a box spring, depending upon your choice. . You can mitigate this by turning the bed 180 degrees every couple of months to avoid drooping in one spot. Materials Convenience Assistance Value Cooling Edge Assistance Sex Smell, discounts, reviews, and giveaways!The following 2 tabs change content below. Logan is the content director of Sleepopolis, which means he not only evaluates new bed mattress each week, but also curates all the comparisons, best of pages, and video guides on the website. He takes an uncomplicated, honest approach to his reviews and endeavors to offer viewers an objective take a look at each brand-new item he checks out. When he’s not hopping on a brand-new bed or dealing with our editorial team to whip up an interesting sleep education guide, you can find him checking out books on world history, walking his canine Pepper, or browsing for the best cheeseburger in New York City (). Next, let’s take a closer take a look at our efficiency ratings for the Nectar Mattress. These ratings are based on findings from our internal and external screening teams, as well as confirmed owner and customer experiences with the mattress. Nectar Sleep has actually stayed in business considering that 2016. Due to how new the business is, we’re basing our resilience ratings off of the products utilized in the bed, quality of construction, and owner experience information with time. While we advise the Nectar for typical to heavyweight sleepers, there is constantly the possibility of body impressions gradually, so we suggest rotating the mattress regularly. Lightweight sleepers are far less likely to observe any body impressions over the lifetime of the mattress. The Nectar mattress carried out effectively in our movement isolation tests. This is expected of memory foam mattresses with slower response foams, so our findings are on par with initial expectations. Considered that, our company believe the Nectar is a fantastic choice for sleepers who are easily disrupted by motions on the bed’s surface. We found that the Nectar had an unique odor for a few days after unpacking, however ultimately dissipated and wasn’t a concern after the initial few days. For a bit more explanation, off-gassing typically accompanies newer bed mattress because unpacking them launches unstable natural compounds (VOCs) into the air. VOCs are fairly harmless but they bring a distinct smell that lots of liken to plastic or rubber. Body adhering is an essential strength of the Nectar Mattress (). Our screening discovered that the two memory foam convenience layers absorb and cradle the body, adhering equally to different locations and uniformly dispersing weight across the surface area. Those who delight in that experience will discover the Nectar Mattress comfortable and supportive. offer much better breathability than other typical cover products, such as polyester or rayon. The Nectar mattress performed as we anticipated in our edge assistance testing (). Like other all-foam bed mattress, we found significant sinkage when resting on or sleeping close to the edge. But when compared to similarly built bed mattress, it did carry out a bit much better than average, which offered the mattress a small upper hand in our score for this requirements. This is a common characteristic of all-foam mattresses (). Sound from a mattress is normally associated with a coil system in the support core or comfort layers. Given that the Nectar features an all-foam style, we discovered definitely no sound issues with the bed. Paired with exceptional movement isolation, the absence of sound makes the Nectar a fantastic choice for sleepers who are easily disrupted throughout the night. Some sleepers find this sinkage makes changing positions difficult, which can make sex more challenging. That said, with much deeper sinkage comes more traction, so if changing positions isn’t as essential to you, the mattress can offer this as a benefit. The Nectar’s construction makes it produce no noise and thus extremely differing physique and position preferences.
Dalton Nichols has been toiling for several months, preparing his pigs to compete in the 2003 Shawnee County Fair this weekend at the Kansas Expocentre. The 11-year-old boy, who is a member of the Rossville Rustlers 4-H Club, said he has been to the fair before, but this is his first time to show animals. Dalton chose two pigs for his initial project. "They're the cleanest animal on the earth, and they're an easy project to do," he said. Blake Wulfkuhle, Auburn 4-H member, also is breaking in his boots this weekend when he shows a bucket calf in his first run at the cattle show. "My dad raises cows," Blake, 9, said. "I've been around cows since I was a baby." Children in Shawnee County's 14 4-H Clubs choose among showing hogs, sheep, cattle, goats, chickens, rabbits and horticulture projects. Leroy Russell, Shawnee County 4-H agent, said 4,000 individual projects from 450 children have been registered. That is an increase of 300 projects from last year. "Everything is going very good," he said. "When we came in last year it was a very, very hot time. This year it was very cool, so the animals are more relaxed. The people are more relaxed. It's a lot less stress on everybody." Anthony S. Bush/The Capital-Journal Skylar Runnebaum, 2, pets a calf at the Kansas Expocentre's R.R. Domer Livestock Pavilion. All of the animals were being weighed and groomed for this weekend's Shawnee County Fair. Thursday's activities included registration, the sheep show and crowning the fair royalty. Matt Ebert, 17, and Rachelle Brown, 15, both of the Rossville Rustlers 4-H Club, were crowned king and queen. They were judged on a point system that includes an interview and a description of their involvement in 4-H. The fair attracts a span of experience of 4-H members, from beginners to veterans. Nicole Rosencutter, Indian Creek 4-H member, has been showing cattle and goats for more than five years. "I like to watch the little kids learn," Rosencutter, 15, said. "They come over and ask if they can milk the goats. I had a little kid come over and ask to comb my heifer." Scott Carlat, 12, of Pleasant Hill, shaves his pig during preparations to show it Thursday at the county fair. She and other veteran 4-H members agree the hardest part is training the animals to walk with them during the show. Dylan Kraus, 11, and his sister, Denae Kraus, 14, said they take their sheep and cattle to other shows to help prepare for the Shawnee County Fair. However, there also is a lot of work involved once the animals arrive at the fair, they said. Every night the cattle are tied up outside. They are brought back inside in the morning and bathed each day. However, the Krauses, who are Dover 4-H members, said the fair can be about more than animals. "You get to be with your friends from the other clubs," Dylan Kraus said.

From its deep, chunky bass hits to R&B singer Kelela’s sky-scraping vocal melisma up top, every inch of recent Kingdom single “Bankhead” sounds meticulously considered—even the spaces between his propulsive, snaking beats. It’s a pretty perfect first foray into summery vocal pop for the Los Angeles-based producer and Fade to Mind labelhead, and though you probably couldn’t ask for a hookier opening track on his new, self-released EP, what’s amazing is just how well he’s able to maintain the painstakingly crafted momentum across the next six tracks, even when it sidesteps into darker, more techno-distopian territory.

The withdrawal of Bishop Philip North from the See of Sheffield in the Church of England marks a watershed. Here is a piece I wrote in January 2011 which has, I think, now that it is clear that the CofE will never have another diocesan bishop opposed to women’s ordination, gained an added poignancy. ‘Remind me to remind you,’ goes the old Sandy Wilson classic, ‘we said we’d never look back.’ But, of course, retrospection is one of the inevitabilities of life. If we did not ‘look back’, we would never learn. Now that the struggle is entering its final stage and the success of the proponents is assured, what is to be learned from the quarter century or so that may of us have consumed fighting the ordination of women to the priesthood and the episcopate? My own overwhelming impression is the futility of it all. Long ago Richard Holloway wrote to me saying (in an allusion to Victor Hugo) that women’s ordination was an idea whose time had come. He was convinced that those of us who opposed it would find ourselves trying to ‘hold back the tide of God’. He would say that, wouldn’t he? But he had a point. So much effort was expended refuting arguments which were not arguments at all! What was the point of seeking to demonstrate the absurdity of Tom Torrance’s assertions about frescoes in a Roman catacomb on which he had clearly never clapped eyes? Why did we waste ink on Richard Norris’s assertion about Gregory Nazianzen? Torrance, after all, was a Presbyterian with no Catholic understanding of priesthood; and Gregory had never drawn the conclusions from his famous aphorism that Norris claimed to be inevitable. And then there was ‘Theodora Episcopa’ and Peter Stanford’s obsession with ‘Pope Joan’. With hindsight it all seems faintly ridiculous. And quite as spurious as the assurances which in those early days were repeatedly given that there was no such thing as a ‘liberal agenda’ and that gay lib and women’s ordination were wholly unrelated. But things have moved on. Now Richard Holloway has surrendered his belief in the God whose tide he said I was trying to hold back; and Gene Robinson has inherited the mantle of Barbara Harris. My heroine throughout this period, a pocket titan who deserved more praise from her sisters than she got, was Daphne Hampson, whose ‘Theology and Feminism’ (1990) courageously demonstrated that most of the more serious arguments being deployed were not arguments in favour of the ordination of women, but against Christianity. She wrote: ‘Christians believe in particularity. That is to say they believe that God was in some sense differently related to particular events, or may be said in particular to have revealed God’s self through those events, in a way in which this is not true of all other events or periods in history. Above all they believe that that must be said of Christ which is to be said of no other human being… Now I am not myself a Christian because I do not believe that there could be this particularity. I do not believe, whatever I may mean by God, that it could be said of God that God was differently related to one age or people than God is related to all ages or people …Thus I do not for example think that there could be a human person (which Christians must proclaim) who stood in a different relationship to God than do all other human beings. True, Jesus of Nazareth may have been deeply aware of God; so have others been. But he was no more than that, I believe, a person deeply in tune with God. This is not a Christian position.’ Brave words. They cut through all the spurious machinations which church feminists find obligatory – the attempts to portray Jesus as a proto-feminist and the first centuries of Christianity as a golden age of sexual egalitarianism – and expose the naked truth: that, when all is said and done, the basic arguments in favour of women’s ordination are at best Nestorian and at worst deist. Looking back, of course, the debate in the 80s of the last century was quaintly naïve on both sides. Opponents accorded proponents a remarkable degree of trust. They took the ‘doctrine of reception’ at face value, and welcomed assurances of provision ‘for as long as it was needed’. Both have proved impostures. On the other hand, proponents (I believe quite genuinely) did not see the wider implications of what they were doing. If all the ramifications of the doctrine of ‘full inclusion’ (as it is now called) had been apparent in 1992 many might have voted differently. As retirement looms I have a house full of books to deal with. There are, for example, seven shelves of feminist theology and of propaganda about women’s ordination – running the whole gamut from Rosemary Radford Reuther right down to Lavinia Byrne. What to do with it? Will I ever read again Deborah Cameron on ‘Feminism and Linguistic Theory’ or Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza’s ‘In Memory of Her’? And did I learn anything of lasting value from Brian Wrenn’s ‘What language shall I borrow?’, or from that extensive catena of fantasy works about Mary Magdalen, culminating in Margaret Starbird’s epic ‘The Woman with the Alabaster Jar’? I had intended to leave them in the top back bedroom, where they live, as a house-warming present for my successor (whoever she may be). And then it occurred to me that they might prove useful in one of those nonresidential training courses the CofE runs for mature ordinands – where books are probably an unfamiliar resource. Most of them, I fear, are destined for the Oxfam shop, where they will languish unbought alongside acres of Susan Howatch. I, on the other hand, will be curled up before an open fire with a glass of malt whisky and a volume of E.L. Mascall.

The Virgin Mary at the Movies From a Catholic Digest article By Steven D. Greydanus Mariano Rigillo as Simeon and Alissa Jung as the Virgin Mary in the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple from Mary of Nazareth . This development began in 1995 with another film named Mary of Nazareth, the final film of French director Jean Delannoy, best known to Catholic audiences for his 1988 film Bernadette. In the 1999 TV movie Mary, Mother of Jesus Christian Bale (Batman Begins) played Jesus opposite Swedish actress Pernilla August (who that same year also played the mother of miracle child Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace!). Then came the 2006 film The Nativity Story, still the only major feature film to focus specifically on the infancy narratives. In 2012, Mary of Nazareth debuted on Italian television as a two-part 200-minute miniseries produced by Lux Vide (Restless Heart; Clare and Francis). The film currently screening is a 153-minute recut of this miniseries. While details differ among these presentations, recurring patterns appear. St. Joseph is always a virile young man with an entirely ordinary interest in Mary. Mary is always either open to his interest, or, in The Nativity Story, resistant for purely emotional reasons. When Mary returns from visiting Elizabeth, she is visibly pregnant (not a given for a young mother’s first baby after only the first trimester), and scandal ensues. Not only Joseph, but Mary’s parents Anne and Joachim are furious over her evident immorality. Typically, she tells them what really happened, and none of them believes her — until the angel appears also to Joseph. In Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph are guided to the stable by a kind woman, and Joseph is usually discreetly absent (fetching water or firewood) when the Child arrives, followed shortly by a convergence of shepherds and wise men. (Invariably, Mary is holding the baby Jesus when the shepherds arrive; He is never actually in the manger, even when the shepherds quote the angel on this point!) There’s nothing terribly wrong with this composite interpretation of events — though someday I hope to see a cinematic telling that takes seriously the traditions of Mary’s manifest specialness from childhood, including her consecrated virginity and the understanding from the outset with her parents and Joseph that hers would be a non-consummated marriage. (On Mary’s part, at least, an intention of lifelong virginity seems necessary to make sense of her bewildered response to Gabriel: “How shall this be? For I know not a man.”).” Another remarkable cinematic depiction of Jesus’ mother is Cecil B. DeMille’s silent 1927/28 Gospel epic The King of Kings, in which we meet Mary (Dorothy Cumming) bringing a blind boy to Jesus amid an opening sequence of healing miracles. Because DeMille first shows us the face of Jesus through the eyes of this blind boy, Mary essentially brings the viewer to her Son. At the climax, the Resurrection — filmed in a rare early Technicolor process — DeMille gives us an episode about which, despite the silence of the Gospels, devout believers have long speculated fondly: a special first appearance by our Lord to His mother. A third outstanding portrayal of the Blessed Virgin is Maia Morgenstern in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. Gibson shows us a Virgin Mary deeply attuned to Jesus, from the memorable scene in which mother and imprisoned Son, separated by stone and earth, are supernaturally aware of each other, to the poignant flashback to Jesus’ childhood at the fourth station on Jesus’ via crucis. Gibson’s haunting Pietà, with a solemn Mary gazing directly into the camera as she holds Jesus’ ravaged body, powerfully implicates the viewer’s sins for Jesus’ passion. As memorable as some of these depictions are, there’s still plenty of room for new cinematic interpretations of Mary. Particularly with respect to the infancy narratives, there’s still a Christmas classic waiting to be made.

“Nineteen months into his presidency, there is no coherent Trump administration strategy to combat foreign election interference — and no single person or agency in charge,” NBC News reports. .” Why Economic Growth Might Be Weaker Than It Looks — Daily Intelligencer (@intelligencer) July 27, 2018 “United States gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 4.1% in the second quarter, up from 2.2% in the first three months of the year. It was the strongest quarter of growth since 2014,” the New York Timesreports. “The second-quarter acceleration was widely anticipated by economists, a result of a confluence of events unlikely to recur. Most economists expect growth to slow in the second half of the year.” “President Trump has sought repeatedly to punish journalists for the way they ask him questions, directing White House staff to ban those reporters from covering official events or to revoke their press credentials,” the Washington Post reports. “At various moments throughout his presidency, Trump has vented angrily to aides about what he considers disrespectful behavior and impertinent questions from reporters in the Oval Office and in other venues. He has also asked that retaliatory action be taken against them.” Said Trump: “These people shouting questions are the worst. Why do we have them in here?” “Until this week, the officials said, Trump’s senior aides have resisted carrying out his directives.” If there’s one person who’s less trustworthy than Michael Cohen, it’s Donald Trump, so when the two of them are at odds, believing Cohen isn’t crazy. — Crooked Media (@crookedmedia) July 27, 2018 ,” Reuters reports. “Putin did not say how Trump had reacted to the invitation to travel to Moscow. The last time Trump was in the Russian capital was in 2013, to attend a Miss Universe beauty pageant.” And the con is fraying. — Andrew Sullivan (@sullydish) July 27, 2018 Andrew Sullivan: . ‘We ‘totally — ‘info,’ ‘financing,’ ‘our friend David,’ etc. — are those of people who know they’re doing something shady. He even talks of ‘using’ ‘Trump. You have to humor and flatter and bullshit all the time, until you’ve sealed the deal.” “And Trump is really, really good at this. In fact, it’s his chief skill, along with his instinct for the easy mark and another human being’s vulnerable spot.” James Hohmann: … During the nine months after the hurricane — from last October through the end of June — there were 326,000 new registered voters. Just 21 percent were Hispanic. That’s a pretty small uptick — and not necessarily explained by Puerto Rican registration at all.” Said Democratic strategist Steve Schale: “The concern I’ve had for a while is that … the Maria impact was probably not going to be as significant as people initially thought.

Remember that all of this so called Russian “interference” happened during the watch of the previous administration , and also remember that Obama had said that he knew about it and had taken the steps to remedy the situation. Obama also played down any interference and threw in a jibe at Trump for good measure. ( Hillary was a shoo-in and the last thing the Democrats wanted was for anybody to think there was any foul play going on.) .”- Obama Everybody tries to influence the power structure of everyone else, it’s been going on for a long time and the US is just as guilty, if not more so, than just about anyone. Trump chairs election security meeting but gives no new orders to repel Russian interference House GOP refuses to renew election security funding as Democrats fume over Russian interference Putin’s favorite congressman (HINT: it’s not a Democrat) McConnell Refused To Sign Bipartisan Statement On Russian Interference BEFORE the election, mind you. Superpowers may be in the business of trying to influence everyone else. But let’s not forget that the GOP is actively aiding and abetting the Russians at every opportunity. Including taking campaign money from them. “We do it, too” is so laughably stupid and hypocritical I’m surprised anyone repeats it with a straight face. So we should forgive suicide bombers because we kill people with bombs too, right? The stupid is strong in this one. It is stupid. Because you have no argument to stop the bad behavior of this government if you can’t draw the line for bad behavior by other governments in your country. For RSE: So “they” should forgive us, because “we kill people with bombs too.” Now that’s strong stupid. I’m not sure you understand my point. It’s about the logic. Probably over your head. Sure, “we do it too”, and it’s been tried before on us. The people heading the investigation into this supposed “hacking” have come to the conclusion that there was no “impact” at all on the election, so why is there such a meltdown going on this time, as opposed to the other times? (As if I have to ask) Obama admittedly knew the supposed “hacking” was taking place. Why wasn’t there an uproar from the media and others when this “hacking” was actually taking place. (Again, as if I have to ask) If politicians in the up coming mid terms start blaming their losing numbers on the Russians, I won’t be surprised. You keep asking the same question, and it’s been answered. There has been no “conclusion” that there was no impact on the election, and Obama wanted to say something but McConnell told him that if he did Republicans would say it was politically motivated. This information is widely available. Your failure to access it is nobody else’s problem. WHY, didn’t Obama do something when he was President. And blaming the media is no excuse. He just was already in retirement mode, just didn’t care. Pretty lame! As has been explained many times, because Mitch McConnell killed the idea of a bipartisan statement and told Obama that if he said anything about Russian meddling in the election Republicans would treat it as a partisan issue. This has been widely reported. Look it up. Ex-lawmaker Atkins arrested 3rd time in domestic violence case 3rd time. Hope the 18K cash bond keeps him in jail for awhile. I don’t care about the president, I don’t care about payments to anyone, I care about defending this country’s fall election and getting an authentic result. Don’t count on your local election commission for cyber protection; you’ll vote on 22 year old claptrap machines in 2018 with no paper trail of any kind and very likely in 2020 you’ll vote on spanking new and very hackable DRE machines with limited forensic auditability because of arrogant dismissal of over a decade of university based forensic testing for hacking vulnerability. At least 15 major institutions have arrived at consensus that paper ballots are the only hack proof voting method, now in use at about 70% of U.S. voting jurisdictions. Our legislators choose to be oblivious to this fact and my Party chooses silence. While the meddling in the election could have ranged from simple trolling all the way to altering votes, all that pales in comparison to the possibility that the current President may be an unwitting, intentional, or coerced Russian asset. The plethora of connections to Russia is too pervasive to be coincidental on the part of the Russians. No other “American” has ever had that broad range of interfaces as the current Administration who acted at the behest of a single individual. Oh, I don’t know about that. How about this guy: Or this one: Or maybe even this one? And here you are, with more bullshit your Fox news handlers sent you out with. Did you note “at the behest of a single individual”? Or do we go with more demonstrated lack of reading comprehension? Most importantly, is that all of these were caught, investigated by the FBI and dealt with in accordance to their crimes. They were not protected by the entirely of any political party (like the GOP is currently doing), they did not have any regular American political party trying to excuse their behavior (like the GOP is doing for Trump), they did not have a regular American political party working the refs to make the FBI look like the really bad guys here (like the GOP is currently doing). The biggest difference between no and then is that then, the majority of the country understood th extend of the Soviet threat. NOW, the Democrats are the only folks on deck arguing for better security against the Russians. Please, spare me your bullshit. We heard for decades from liberals and Democrats that Hiss, White, and the others were “persecuted” and “victims of McCarthyism”. It wasn’t until the Venona decrypts were declassified that Democrats were forced to admit that many of the names on McCarthy’s list really were Soviet agents. Seriously, open a book. The HUAC (and some of its predecessor committees) were largely hype trading on the Red Scare. McCarthy was a Democrat. His compadre Nixon was a Republican. Both were despicable people and one grew up to become an impeached Republican President. Hiss was convicted of perjury. Hopkins charged with nothing. The only one of those who clearly was a threat was White. And ONE MORE TIME — Democrats were not trying to pretend that Soviet influence was not a problem (like the GOP is currently doing), Democrats did not try to excuse their behavior (like the GOP is doing for Trump AND because there were Democrats leading the charge), and Democrats were not the refs to make the FBI look like the really bad guys here (like the GOP is currently doing). The biggest difference between now and then is that then, the majority of the country understood th extend of the Soviet threat. I’ll add that Democrats were complicit in demagoguing that threat. And NOW, the Democrats are the only folks on deck arguing for better security against the Russians. Note again: Soviet agents. Not businessmen that made some deals in Russia. Not sitting presidents that met with their counterparts in Russia just like every other president. There’s a bit of a difference, but you are too blinded by bitterness over losing the election to see it. So this counts as two parts of your playbook here: 1) trying to pretend that Russian influence and interference was not a problem and 2) Excusing the criminal behavior. Yeah, let me know if you find any actual evidence of criminal behavior, let alone a conviction. Tax fraud doesn’t count. You really think Russian influence had any effect whatsoever on the 2016 election? 6.8 billion dollars spent on the election, 2.5 billion on the Presidential race, and you think a few facebook posts and ads made a difference? Russian influence/meddling = Lame excuses for a poorly run campaign with a muddled message and a historic loss. More Fox News stupidity. You are, of course, free to buy into every bit of their propaganda, but all that does here is demonstrate just how far you’ll go to be a Trump sheep. And I will point out again that if a Democrat was tied up in all of this Russian foolishness you’d be screaming for the death penalty. You don’t care about a foreign country interfering with our government. You just care that no one on your team gets blamed for it.
Measurement of dissolved oxygen using optodes in a FerryBox system Hydes, D.J., Hartman, M.C., Kaiser, J. and Campbell, J.M. (2009) Measurement of dissolved oxygen using optodes in a FerryBox system. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 83, (4), 485-490. (doi:10.1016/j.ecss.2009.04.014). This is the latest version of this item. Download Full text not available from this repository. Description/Abstract Optode sensors can provide detailed information on concentrations of dissolved oxygen, which in turn may be used to quantify variations in net primary productivity. Throughout 2005 and 2006 the performance of commercially available oxygen optodes was examined, one in each year. The optode was part of an autonomous measurement system (FerryBox) on a ferry operating between Portsmouth (UK) and Bilbao (Spain). On crossings during which water samples were collected manually, the optode outputs were compared to measurements of dissolved oxygen made by Winkler titrations. The optodes maintained good stability with no evidence of instrumental drift during the course of a year. Over the observed concentration range (230–330 mM m?3) the optode data were approximately 2% low in both years. By fitting the optode data to the Winkler data the median difference between the optode and Winkler measurements is reduced to less than 1 mM m?3 (0.3%) in both years. The most appropriate calibration factor for 2005 was corrected O2 = Optode O2 × 1.018 and for 2006 the corresponding equation is corrected O2 = Optode O2 × 0.884 + 36.8. The standard deviation (95%) of the difference between the individual Winkler measurements was 5 mM m?3 and 3 mM m?3 in 2005 and 2006 respectively. Calculation of the oxygen saturation anomaly is required for calculation of the air sea exchange of oxygen and net biological production. This calculation requires the use of both salinity and temperature data. Salinity is measured to better than 0.1 so the corresponding error in anomaly is less than 0.2 mM m?3. Distortion of the temperature data is present due to warming of the water pumped to the optode. In winter this warming at the optode may be as great as 0.4 °C. The difference in the pumped water temperature can be corrected for by reference to other measurements of sea surface temperature reducing the error to less than 1 mM m?3.

Genuine fast bowling can change a game or a series quicker than any other skill in cricket. However, I didn’t envisage the enormous psychological swing that Mitchell Johnson’s express deliveries wrought at the Gabba. England is in trouble in the Ashes series and their chances of retaining the urn will depend on their response to the threat in Adelaide. Mitchell Johnson celebrates the wicket of Stuart Broad on Day Four of the first Ashes Test last week. Pic/Getty Images Australia is the more adaptable squad while England tends towards one-dimensional; Adelaide will provide more clues. England’s first priority is to dent Johnson’s sky high confidence. If they allow the fast left-armer to continue in his rampant Brisbane form then the confrontation at the WACA in the third Test can only go one way — Australia’s. Johnson is more accurate when he pitches short. Therefore England has to find a way to change his length because when he pitches full and tries to swing the ball, he often sprays his deliveries. That means someone in the England top-order has to judiciously challenge his short-pitched deliveries. An ideal opportunity While the demise and departure of Jonathan Trott is sad to behold, it may have delivered England the ideal opportunity. Ian Bell is a born number three and now is the time to promote him and, along with captain Alistair Cook, this pair are best equipped to tackle Johnson. Both England batsmen handle the short-pitched delivery well and also hook and pull securely when the opportunity arises. This is the perfect combination to slow Johnson’s progress and the time is right in Adelaide where the pitch is more placid than either the Gabba or the WACA. England’s other priority England’s other priority is what to do with their attack? It was adequate at the Gabba without having the edge to it that Johnson provided Australia. The onslaught that was supposedly going to be visited on Michael Clarke to test his aptitude for the short-pitched delivery was more like an attack with a handbag than a hand grenade. Along with his audacious stroke play, David Warner did his part in dampening English enthusiasm for intimidation by ferociously hooking the very first ball he received from Stuart Broad. England has to decide whether they maintain their policy of trying to make Australia’s runs hard-earned or whether they want to make life uncomfortable. If they decide on the latter it’ll require the promotion of a faster bowler and a drastic change in philosophy from the captain, with Cook more aggressively seeking wickets. That’s a couple of major changes to make mid-series. In this situation England could easily be damned if they do and damned if they don’t but there’s one certainty; if they allow the status quo to prevail then they’re in big trouble. So while much of the focus has been on the verbal side of the contest since the Gabba Test, it’s not words that will swing the balance for England but deeds. Australia on the other hand is suddenly well placed to regain the urn. One nil up is a good spot with Adelaide, a potential draw venue, being followed by a trip to Perth where a fast bouncy pitch favours the home side. England is indeed fortunate the second Test isn’t at the WACA because in their current state that could easily have meant two down after two. Australia is far from home and hosed, as the batting is still vulnerable. The bowling however, which always appeared to be the best chance of providing victory, now has greater depth with Nathan Lyon’s improved form and a real edge to the attack with Johnson’s resurgence. So often, once a genuine fast bowler stamps his authority on a series, the mental damage inflicted can carry over even on the most benign of surfaces. That’s why it’s imperative for England to at least quell the uprising in Adelaide even if they don’t win the match. Genuine fast bowling has changed Ashes series quickly in the past, as we’ve seen with the likes of Harold Larwood, Frank ‘Typhoon’ Tyson and Jeff Thomson. And judging by the way he bowled at the Gabba, Johnson could add his name to that illustrious list if England don’t show plenty of imagination at Adelaide.

You have to explain to us the circumstances, and what steps you have already done to solve your problem!!! This is a database related error, where your ARERR seems to be 552. To understand what this means, you need to specy the database you are using. As for 1900 it could be an ARERR as well. You will not typically get two ARERR at the same time, but possibly one after the other. Could this 1900 be a specification to the 552? Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, Hi Vicky, 552 is Failure during SQL operation to the database This is a generic message indicating that an SQL database error was returned during an operation against the database.
