Smog Ratings are a great tool for finding out how clean your vehicle is, or for comparison shopping when the time comes to buy your next car. A Smog Rating reflects a vehicles tailpipe emissions on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the cleanest. Nearly 50% of the urban air pollution along the Wasatch Front comes from cars and trucks, so for those looking for ways to clean up our air, Smog Ratings represent an important tool for making cleaner transportation choices.
Vehicle Smog Ratings are administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which requires auto makers to manufacture vehicles that meet certain emissions standards. The all-electric 2018 Nissan Leaf offered through the Live Electric program has a Smog Rating of 10, and the plug-in hybrid electric Ford C-Max and Fusion have a Smog Rating of 8. However, it's important to note that the plug-in hybrid electric options can have either more or less tailpipe emission depending on how often the hybrid gasoline engine is used. Read more about Smog Ratings on the EPA's website here.
The Utah Clean Air Partnership, or UCAIR, designed an app to check smog ratings for various cars from 2004 to the present. When you're buying your next car, a smog rating can give you a quick estimate as to how dirty the car's emissions are from an air quality standpoint. This is especially important during Utah's winter and summer inversion periods - vehicles with a high score will mitigate high pollution directly.

Over 40% of the particulate matter suspended in air comes from vehicle emissions, a share that reflects residents’ rising average incomes, which have increased fourfold in fifteen years. This has created an increasingly affluent society with a correspondingly increasing private car ownership. There is now roughly one car for every two people in Hangzhou.
Hangzhou’s smog is exacerbated by a scarcity of high-quality fuels.

We believe all people would benefit from clean healthy air all the time, everywhere. In our region, particle pollution, smog, and air toxics pose the greatest risk to our well-being. Outdoor air pollution can cause heart attacks, asthma, strokes, cancer, and premature death. An estimated 1,100 people die each year in Washington State due to outdoor air pollution.
Because we are concerned about our climate we also focus on the reduction of greenhouse gases, which are the leading cause of climate change.

Various sources claim that air pollution kills more than a million people in China each year, which has led to a government-backed embrace of electric and low emission vehicles. In fact, China as a whole bought nearly three times more electric vehicles than Americans did last year.
The new air pollution study analyzed language and arithmetic tests on 32,000 people across China between 2010 and 2014, and compared the results to local records of nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter. All three contaminants are found in vehicle emissions. Because the study followed the same individuals for several years, causal factors such as genetic differences were negated. The scientists also accounted for age-related cognition changes.
Vehicle emissions are the largest single source of air pollution in the United States. In China and other parts of the developing world, heavy use of coal is the main source of pollution, though vehicle emissions also play a big part. China has aggressively supported its electric vehicle manufacturers to combat the smog plaguing its large urban areas.

’Experts say govt already has tools to deal with Bangkok’s dangerous smog.
AS AIR pollution in Bangkok worsens this week and there are few signs of official measures offering relief, many academics called on the government yesterday to declare the capital a pollution-control zone, so related agencies can enforce stricter legal measures to limit emissions and protect people’s health.
Sonthi Kotchawat, independent environmental health expert, emphasised that the government already has the legal tools to swiftly order powerful mitigation measures needed to fight the dangerous smog and protect the population. Article 9 of the Enhancement and Conservation of National Environmental Quality Act could designate the capital a “pollution-control area” and allow actions that would reduce pollution.
Sonthi said in the case of a pollution emergency, in which people’s health and well-being is harmed, the prime minister can directly exercise this law. He could alternatively authorise the provincial governor of each locality to order stakeholders to reduce environmental impacts and control pollution, so as to swiftly mitigate the problem and ensure public safety.

They include Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate in Rayong, Pattaya City in Chon Buri, tambon Na Phra Lan in Saraburi and Phi Phi Islands in Krabi.

Beijing and surrounding provinces have been plagued by poor air since the end of the "Golden Week Holiday" earlier this month, as industrial plants in the north returned to full capacity.

SETTING RECORDS: New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees broke his own record with a 74.4 completion percentage, the highest in a season in NFL history. ... Philadelphia's Zach Ertz set a record for most receptions by a tight end (116). ... San Francisco's George Kittle set a record for most yards receiving by a tight end (1,377). ... Teams combined to score 1,371 total touchdowns, the highest total in a season. ... Eight quarterbacks had a passer rating of 100 or higher, most in a season.
LAST MAN STANDING: Philadelphia's Doug Pederson is the only one of seven coaches hired in 2016 still with his team. Adam Gase (23-26, Miami), Chip Kelly (2-14, San Francisco), Hue Jackson (3-36-1, Cleveland), Mike Mularkey (19-17, Tennessee), Dirk Koetter (19-29, Tampa Bay) and Ben McAdoo (13-16, Giants) all were fired, some sooner than others.

Ben Roethlisberger threw two interceptions, including one in the final two minutes, to secure a fourth Super Bowl win for the Pack.

So in order to keep these playoffs interesting, I’m going to make some predictions based on the ludicrous idea that the NFL is scripted by screenwriters in New York.
The NFL need some new and exciting matchups. And one of those is going to be a new Belicheck vs Brady rivalry, with Belichick leaving for New York after a disastrous 2017 post-season. So this year, no Patriots in the Super Bowl.
There a couple of new cool young QB’s. They’ll lose in the first round.
There’s one team left that needs a new stadium and new ownership.
The NFC is going to win.
Tennessee vs Kansas City: The NFL wants the young but not elite QB’s to do well enough to stay interesting. Mariotta fits that bill. He leads the Titans to victory over the coach that the NFL hates for some reason.
Falcons vs Rams: Goff vs the NFC West is the storyline in the division for 2018 and beyond. But Matt Ryan’s revenge is more compelling this year. Falcons win, but the Rams are going to be poised and positioned to be the NFC favorite next year.
Buffalo vs Jacksonville: Buffalo tried to lose this season, and yet the NFL needed them to be a playoff contender so the rich guys in Toronto would want to adopt them. A playoff birth is really all this terrible team needed to get. Now the franchise is worth an extra $250mm dollars. Jacksonville

Super Bowl 50 takes place on February 7, 2016 at 3p.m. in Santa Clara, CA. Want to make it a big day? Start planning now. Here are some tips for throwing great playoffs and Super Bowl parties at your restaurant or bar.
With playoffs already underway, you have just under a month until Super Bowl to make sure people choose your venue. Use the remainder of the playoff season as both a trial and promotional period. This will allow you to get an idea of what will be required of you and your team on the Big Day.
Don’t forget to start updating your social media profiles. Utilize the Yelp business page features to revise business hours and event information for people who are thinking about coming to your venue. Another suggestion, incorporate catchy hashtags into your social media campaigns to create excitement around your hosted events, think #touchdowntuesday. Lastly, post sneak peak photos to your business Instagram account.
Pro tip: Put promotional flyers on your tables and at your door leading up to your big celebration. Allow for early reservations for the best seat in the house.
Some interesting stats from Fox Sports in case you think food isn’t going to be a big deal. Super Bowl is the 2nd biggest day of the year for food consumption, behind Thanksgiving. 4,000 tons of popcorn, 1.23 billion wings, and 8 million lbs of guacamole will be consumed. Snacks

Established in 1930, the Detriot Lions are one of the NFL's oldest franchises. Detroit has captured four NFL championships -- but all prior to the Super Bowl era, winning the NFL Championship in 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957. Detroit is still in search of its first-ever Super Bowl title, but with one of the league's most explosive offenses, many believe the Lions are on the cusp of glory.
While the Lions haven't won the Super Bowl, some of the best players in NFL history have put on a Detroit Lions uniform. Barry Sanders is universally hailed as one of the best running backs of all-time, and the Hall of Fame running back spent his entire career with the Lions. Sanders rushed for over 15,000 yards before he abruptly retired following the 1998 season.
Detroit went through a long period of futility. The Lions failed to make the playoffs each season between 2000 and 2010, before finally going 10-6 and qualifying for the playoffs in 2011. Led by Matthew Stafford, the Lions boast one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL. Even though the Lions lost Calvin Johnson, a.k.a. Megatron, to retirement -- Detroit is ready to make a deep run in the playoffs in 2018.

Caldwell, the first black coach in Lions history, is 35-28 at the helm in Detroit. That's the best winning percentage of any non-interim coach in the Super Bowl era. He's pushed the division race to the final day of the season twice, and made the playoffs twice. But he hasn't won a division championship either, hasn't won a playoff game and won't make the playoffs at all in 2017 after a loss on Sunday against the lowly Bengals.
That has thrust Caldwell's job security back to the fore. This is a place he's been before, after the 1-7 start in 2015 that sparked an organizational shakeup, and the 0-4 finish in 2016 that cost Detroit the North title in the season finale. GM Bob Quinn elected to retain him both times, and a similar evaluation is expected take place next week.
But the Free Press column, written by Joseph Hayes, argues that the hot seat talk is tied to Caldwell's skin color.
"Now, these 'fans' have the best coach in modern Lions history in their sights. And no, it's not just because of the terrible loss to Cincinnati. For many, it's because he has brown skin."

Does Zimmer offer a net positive or net negative contribution to the team's overall success? I think the answer here is a positive.
Does he offer the same or greater contribution in the post season? Here I think Zimmer is closer to neutral. Not sure why?
I would add, that I think if you broke done what Zimmer does well and what he doesn't we'd probably find that he makes better contributions in some areas and worse in others than Pedersen. To me, the bigger question is overall team morale. This is hte biggest difference. Philly not only rolled with the punches, they got better. MN, who in some ways faced the same adversity, just earlier in the season, was able to rally, but they were not able to up the ante in the post season the way the Eagles were. Why is that?

Dan Quinn is familiar with the ugly history that the Falcons are going against this season. Of the 46 teams in the 23 Super Bowls before last season, only four returned to the championship game the following year. All four of those were the defending champions.
None of the past 23 teams that lost the Super Bowl from 1993 to 2015 made it back. Only two returned to the conference title game. Ten of the 23 missed the playoffs entirely.
Good teams get lazy. Lesser teams get motivated.
We can't know what kind of shape the Falcons' collective rump will be in come the end of the season. They did all of the right things, bringing in two veteran defensive linemen (Dontari Poe, Jack Crawford) for depth. They signed a competent fullback (Derrick Coleman) to replace the one they lost in free agency (Patrick DiMarco). Their draft was impressive (led by defenders Takk McKinley and Duke Riley). They shook up their defensive staff (needed) and made a likely successful hire (Steve Sarkisian) to replace former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan (whose remarkable season nonetheless left a grease stain at the end).

I’m not sure why — maybe just because I was browsing the mystery section for Kate Atkinson’s books, and found myself pulling a couple of others off the shelves as well. Mysteries used to be my most reliable entertainment, and P.D. James is among the best of British crime-writers. She’s been writing her Adam Dalgliesh mysteries since 1962, so she’s certainly got the credentials, and The Lighthouse, her 13th Dalgliesh mystery, is a good, solid, pleasurable read.
James is fond of what, essentially, are locked-room mysteries: murders that take place in small, closed communities, among a limited number of suspects. The Lighthouse takes place on Combe, an island off the coast of Cornwall. Combe houses a retreat center dedicated to the peace and security of the Very Important: prime ministers, captains of industry, and prizewinning artists all come to recharge in the island’s quiet atmosphere. On this occasion, however, one of the guests is causing a disturbance to that peace. Nathan Oliver, famous author, is a petty, argumentative man, but that would be bearable; several of the staff and guests have reason to dislike him, but surely not to kill him. Yet when he’s found hanging from the island lighthouse, Adam Dalgliesh, DI Kate Miskin, and DS Benton-Smith have to try to discover the secrets beneath the reserve of the island’s inhabitants, despite the personal distractions — love, ambition, class — tugging at their attention.

He has been ill and goes to Dorset to convalesce, to visit an elderly friend. His love and energy for detecting are muted, there are hints he may not continue.
On arrival in Dorset he finds his friend, Father Baddeley has died. Dalgliesh is inevitably drawn into the daily life at Toynton Hall, the care home at which the Father was chaplain. All is not as it seems. Baddeley’s was not the first death. But Dalgliesh looks at clues and is unusually reticent, unmotivated, tired.
This is an intricate story set in a strange community with overtones of religious fervour, financial difficulties, disabilities not clearly explained, relationships tangled, past stories and resentments lurking beneath the surface.
I am re-reading PD James in order and with this, the fifth in the series, she seems to be getting into the rhythm which those familiar with the last of the Dalgliesh books will recognise. Dalgliesh is oddly denuded in this book, giving us an insight into his character we have not have seen before, we see beneath the professional face: he has been ill, is tired, less patient, and the mask of his profession sometimes slips. Fascinating, a hint of the detective into which he will evolve in the later books.

These adaptations of the P D James books of Adam Dalgliesh are of the best - and I mean all of them. The stories are long in comparison to today's highly edited story lines. It makes for a natural flow to the story, building atmosphere and generally contributing to the general feeling of the episode. I like seeing cars arrive and depart and the characters making the tea! It is also very natural for a detective to sit and ponder a very complex murder - and the director did good by showing us these scenes.
Roy was an excellent choice to do this role as he did not resort to emotional gimmicks as lessor actors would have done - he interpreted the role as that of an inspector who was fully aware of his detective abilities and the character had no need to impress the viewer with predictable devices. This show was obviously aimed at a more mature audience - hence the absence (most of the time) of bar fight scenes, car chase scenes, bed scenes, impossible superiors, sub plots and other devices to pad the plot and episode.

It shows the joy that the tour’s passengers have while opening their swag bags, the energy of RiRi’s live performances, fan and crew testimonials, and even touches upon the infamous “mutiny” aboard the Boeing 777. In the opening moments of the documentary, the group is bubbling with energy, and Rihanna struts up and down the aisles, serving overflowing Armand de Brignac Champagne (also known as Ace of Spades) and cognac to the guests.
The energy of the trip wanes as each day goes by, and rightfully so—it’s a grueling journey since passengers are wrangled from plane to tour bus to concert venues to after-parties.

They were re-arrested after they reached the French mainland.
Seven other defendants are also facing charges over the same case.
They could face up to 30 years in jail if found guilty.
The case, which was quickly dubbed “Air Cocaine”, first hit the headlines in March 2013 when Dominican police opened the suitcases on board a Falcon jet in the resort town of Punta Cana to find them stuffed with 680kg (1,500lb) of cocaine.
The plane bound for Saint-Tropez in the south of France was grounded and the two pilots and two passengers arrested.
All four said they had had no idea the suitcases were filled with narcotics. But a Dominican judge ruled they were responsible for what was on board their plane and sentenced them to 20 years in jail.

I once heard this law stated this way: "Success is doing whatever it is you didn&apos;t do." Rarely is the concept carried to this extreme, but many of us do have a tendency to always want more. No matter how hard someone works, they should have worked harder. No matter how fast or how good a job they do, we want more and better. There can be a place for this, but it is often not done constructively.
When expectations are carefully and deliberately expanded as part of a continuous improvement program, for instance, it can be a win/win situation. And goals usually do get tougher and tougher from one period to the next, and that is not necessarily problematic.
Usually, however, continuously expanding expectations is not part of a well-thought-out plan developed in the spirit of cooperation. Instead, this often reflects an attitude of discontent or even greed. The comments in this article are not directed at the constructive approach of a continuous improvement program, but at the destructive and counterproductive tendency to consistently expand our expectations of others.

The reason he's my favorite is certainly not because he's mean and nasty and unfair to Harry, and it isn't because of his looks (although the large aquiline nose is a selling point, I will grant). And I agree with you that the episode in the Shrieking Shack is calculated to present Snape at his worst (although there are some major mitigating factors there that are easily missed on first reading -- for instance, did you realize that Snape heard absolutely nothing of Sirius and Remus's explanation to the kids about Peter Pettigrew, and that when Snape came into the room he still had every good reason to believe that Sirius was a vicious mass murderer and that Remus was helping him? But I digress).
Even if I'm mostly wrong about Snape, though (I'm certain I'm not all wrong), he does have some definite things going for him: his absolute loyalty to Dumbledore, his determination to protect Harry in spite of his dislike, and fact that he repudiated his past as a Death Eater and turned spy against Voldermort "at great personal risk".

I was curious about how Fitzgerald created his unique form of speech, so I asked her—and this was her reply.
The story of Jack Plum started life as a radio play called Pig Paradise, which was broadcast by the BBC in 1998. At the time I wrote it, I couldn’t find Jack’s inner voice at all, and didn’t even know if I wanted to, so his character was explored entirely through dialogue with the younger Holly Lock.
It worked well and I felt no loss at not having Jack as part-narrator of the play, which had been the director’s desire. After the broadcast I thought I’d heard the last of Jack Plum but it wasn’t to be. Fragments, images and words kept shoving themselves into my head; I saw an inordinate number of pigs rummaging in fields and at times felt as if someone large was following me when I took the dog for a walk on the moor.
Eventually I understood there was more to be explored in the story of Jack. I sat down and began making plans for turning the play into a novel. This time I knew I had to get right inside his internal landscape.
It wasn’t easy finding Jack’s voice because it wasn’t a technical linguistic exercise; it was a question of being able to hear its nuances inside my

The Year of Faith celebrates the Gospel of Life as we Americans celebrate Father’s Day. At the Vatican, a special mass was celebrated to thank God for the blessings of life, taking its name from Evangelium Vitae, Blessed John Paul II’s landmark encyclical.

An election court has thrown out an attempt to unseat the Liberal Democrat MP Alistair Carmichael, even though he told a “blatant lie” about the leak of a memo about Nicola Sturgeon.
Two judges in Edinburgh ruled that Carmichael lied about the leak but said it could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the former Scotland secretary’s dishonesty was designed to mislead voters in his Orkney and Shetland constituency about his personal conduct.
Despite clearing him of breaching the Representation of the People Act 1983, the judges were damning about his conduct. Carmichael authorised the leak of allegations that Sturgeon had secretly backed David Cameron to win the general election when she met the French ambassador, Sylvie Bermann, in March.
The judges said his constituents were “justifiably shocked and dismayed” that he had repeatedly lied about his role before the election. They would have felt “shock, outrage and upset” the judges said, fuelling immediate calls from his critics for Carmichael to resign voluntarily.
Tim Morrison, one of the four petitioners who have so far raised nearly £165,000 to take the case to a rare election court, said the judges’ opinion about Carmichael was personally devastating and would irreparably damage his reputation in Orkney and Shetland.
The court had upheld two of their three complaints, so Carmichael had won “on the slimmest of legal technicalities,” the group said.

Mr. Marchand, who was born in 1911, already owned the one-hour record for riders age 100 and older, which he had set in 2012.
It was as he prepared for that ride that he came to the attention of Veronique Billat, a professor of exercise science at the University of Evry-Val d’Essonne in France. At her lab, Dr. Billat and her colleagues study and train many professional and recreational athletes.
She was particularly interested in Mr. Marchand’s workout program and whether altering it might augment his endurance and increase his speed.
Conventional wisdom in exercise science suggests that it is very difficult to significantly add to aerobic fitness after middle age. In

As we worked more closely together, I began to trust her… and as I had with Abby… I began to open up.

Hailing from Co. Galway, Nora Barnacle was the love of James Joyce’s life and evidently, his literary muse. Her character and likeness are visible in many of his published works. Joyce planted moments of his life and hers in his work, filling the page with his love and affection for her. When she moved to Dublin aged 19, Nora worked in the Finn’s Hotel in Dublin 2, a name which lends itself to Joyce’s “Finn’s Hotel”.
Nora met James on June 10th, 1904. They began their long-standing romance with a first date in Dublin on June 16th, 1904, building a relationship that would last for thirty-four years until Joyce’s death in 1941. Being the hopeless romantic he was, Joyce used June 16th as the date for his epic, Ulysses. Nora also became the inspiration for Leopold Bloom’s wife, Molly in Ulysses.
Joyce travelled twice to Galway with Nora throughout their time together and although his time there was infrequent, he fell in love with the county as quickly as he fell for Nora. Galway became a place Joyce could frequent in his literature, appearing in his short story, “The Dead” and his poem, “She Weeps Over Rahoon”. The love that Joyce felt for Nora is so clearly felt through his writing.

The reason being is that she was shunned by her biological family for expressing her nonacceptance of double standards and for being who she wanted to be; someone who is open about who she is and does not like to put masks; something that women usually do in order to survive in a conservative environment. However, Nora was never a conformist unless she found what was demanded of her logical and fair. She questioned everything which lead her to be who she is today. Nora's website CLICK.

Having described the kinds of people who do not surrender to him, Shree Krishna now categorizes the kinds of people who do take refuge in him.
1) The distressed. For some people, when the pot of worldly miseries becomes excessive, it leads them to conclude that running after the world is futile, and it is better to take shelter in God. Likewise, when they see that worldly supports are unable to protect them, they then turn to God for protection. Draupadi’s surrender to Shree Krishna was an example of this type of surrender. When Draupadi was being disrobed in the assembly of the Kauravas, she first counted upon the protection of her husbands. When they remained silent, she relied upon the pious elders present in the assembly—Dronacharya, Kripacharya, Bheeshma, and Vidur—to help her. When they too failed to offer her protection, she clenched her sari between her teeth. Up to this stage, Shree Krishna did not come to Draupadi’s rescue. Finally, when Dushasan pulled her sari with a jerk, it slipped from the grasp of her teeth.

Splitting a pair is just that, if a player has two of the same card they can split the hand into two unique hands by moving a bet of equal value behind the second hand.

Unconditional surrender is a product of having absolute faith in the fact that Christ died on the cross for your sins. Through this act of Perfect Love, you have been redeemed and reconciled to the Almighty Father. If you repent of your sins, you shall be saved. You must have faith in this fact.
However, if there is any doubt or just 99% faith, you cannot claim to have fully surrendered to Christ. Just like a child standing on a roof must fully trust that his father standing below will catch him when he jumps, you need to have total 100% faith in God to jump into His loving arms.

However, this is not the case. There are some assets that the government has no interest in taking, and there are some which will fall under what the Bankruptcy Code calls exemptions. Florida maintains a list of exemptions, so that those who are forced to file can still retain most if not all of their possessions.
In Florida, unlike in some other states, a filer may not use the federal government exemptions for his bankruptcy with rare and specific exceptions. However, it is generally considered to be a better deal, as the Florida exemptions are usually more generous than the federal. Unlike the federal exemptions, there is an unlimited homestead exemption (for your principal residence), and the ability to exempt the cash surrender value of life insurance policies, among those reserved for other assets.
In order to use Florida exemptions, you must have lived in Florida for at least 730 days (roughly two years) prior to your filing. If you have not, you will likely wind up using either the federal exemptions or the exemptions of the state in which you lived the longest during the 180 days prior to the two years leading up to your bankruptcy. For example, if you lived in Illinois, and then traveled the country for two years before settling in Florida and filing for bankruptcy, you would use the Illinois exemptions.

Essentially, we must start from the ground up, first rebuilding ourselves and then starting in on repairing our lives. Inpatient drug rehab sets a solid foundation for lasting and fulfilled recovery, one that will provide the basis for a truly beautiful and meaningful life overall. Eventually, as the program of Alcoholics Anonymous promises its members, fear of financial insecurity will leave us – once our lives in working order we are liable to find that we truly have everything we need, and want for nothing. But what are we to do when we find ourselves fresh out of drug rehab with nothing more than a few t-shirts and a pair of beat-up sneakers?
The point is that if you continue on the path you are on, despite temporary difficulties, things will, inevitably, get better. Paying for dollar menu items in change and taking the bus to your stock job at the local supermarket will come to an end, and you will soon be living a life beyond your wildest dreams.

After going through a list of casinos that offer blackjack surrender I couldn’t help but notice that it was available on tables with 6 to 8 decks only. For the sake of simplicity, everything we cover in this article will be relevant to a 6 to 8 deck game.
Surrender is when the player opts to throw in the towel on their hand and lose half their bet. There are 2 types of surrender, early surrender and late surrender. Early surrender is offered to the player after being dealt his first 2 cards but before the dealer has had a chance to check for blackjack. Late surrender is when the dealer is showing an ace or a 10 and has already checked the hole card to see if he has blackjack and he does not have blackjack. If the dealer has blackjack, surrender is not offered.
The option to surrender should only be considered under very specific circumstances. When you, the player, are holding a hard total of 15, 16 or 17 check the dealers up card to make your decision. Anything less than a 9 and surrender is not on the cards for you this time.

In all honesty, business valuation is trickier than many business owners and shareholders often realize—especially for those owning less than a controlling interest in a company.

The difficulty is that neither Commerzbank’s standalone valuation nor the appropriate top-up is clear. That’s helpful for Deutsche, which can scarcely afford to pay a high price.
Analysts’ price targets for Commerzbank vary from 5.16 euros ($5.86) to 12.50 euros a share and there’s no consensus about how much additional capital the combined lender would need to raise.
What’s more, the possibility of this tie-up has been so long mooted that some bid premium should have been baked into the target’s share price for a while. Deutsche’s previous CEO, John Cryan, explored a deal and rejected it in Aug. 2016. Commerzbank stock outperformed Deutsche during 2017 as its rival was forced to tap shareholders for money. Over the past year, the shares have traded roughly in lock-step, as if anticipating a tie-up, and were both trading at a near 70 percent discount to their book value by the end of 2018.

A trust usually makes its shares available for retail investors to buy.
Investment trusts are similar to investment funds (also called unit trusts, open-ended investment companies, and other names – but for the sake of this article called simply funds) in that they allow a regular retail investor to easily buy a managed portfolio of diverse assets in a single investment.
When you invest in an investment trust, you buy a share in it. That share represents a slice of the value of the assets that company invests in, similar to when you buy a unit in a fund.

Despite their popularity, however, most people don't fully understand stocks. They aren't a magic answer. And although stocks can–and do–create massive amounts of wealth, they aren't without risks. The only solution to this is education. The key to protecting yourself in the stock market is to understand where you're putting your money.
Plain and simple, stock is a share in the ownership of a company. Stock represents a claim on the company's assets and earnings. As you acquire more stock, your ownership stake in the company becomes greater. Whether you say shares, equity, or stock, it all means the same thing.
Holding a company's stock means that you're one of the many owners (shareholders) of a company. As such, you have a claim (albeit usually very small) to everything the company owns.
Technically, you own a tiny sliver of every piece of furniture, every trademark and every contract of the company. As an owner, you're entitled to your share of the company's earnings as well as any voting rights attached to the stock.
A stock is represented by a stock certificate. Before the computer age, it was a fancy piece of paper that was proof of ownership. Today, your brokerage keeps these records electronically, which is also known as holding shares "in street name."

Since December 2015, when Dexus lodged a bid for the office property specialist, there have been four further attempts to gain control of the company, the latest from Blackstone at $5.25 a share. None have been successful. Yet.
The board of IOF’s responsible entity supported the Dexus bids, the last of which was rejected by shareholders. The current bid is also supported by the board. We recommend shareholders, which includes APN’s AREIT Fund, stir themselves for another fight.
There is hidden value in IOF, something Blackstone well understands. We’ll therefore be voting against the current proposal and urge other shareholders to follow suit.
On the face of it the price looks fair. Blackstone’s cash offer of $5.15 per share (ex a 10 cents distribution) is a 4% premium to current net tangible assets (NTA). It is also $1.24 higher than Dexus’ original 2015 cash and scrip offer ($3.91), which was pitched at a 5% premium to NTA at the time.
We can understand the IOF board supporting the bid. Having been subjected to numerous and unsuccessful takeover offers and last year’s failed attempt to have IOF internally managed, it isn’t just investors that are possibly fatigued by issues that detract from the everyday running of the business.
Blackstone’s bid offers a potential end to this long-running saga, one that understandably appeals to board members and exhausted shareholders.

Long-term marketable securities are not always accounted as “cash” because strictly cash is considered a liquid asset and some securities may not be sufficiently so.

Most businesses keep very little cash on their books. Why does Apple have so much cash?
Indeed Apple’s cash is extraordinary. It amounts to about 30% of its market capitalization. One reason is that Apple has taken many loans, totaling about $100 billion.
Quite the contrary, Apple’s operating cash flow is eye-watering. In the 2017 fiscal year (ending September) Apple generated $63,598,000,000 from operations. The loans are not needed to operate. They are used to pay shareholders.

If you typically invest in non dividend paying stocks, then you could be missing out on a lucrative opportunity to boost your long-term portfolio growth, in addition to the short-term income potential presented by stocks that pay dividends to shareholders on a quarterly or monthly basis.
Simply put, dividends are the portions of a company’s earnings that are paid out to shareholders. The company’s board of directors ultimately dictates the dividend amount, which may come in the form of cash or stock shares.
Whereas other types of investments that simply fluctuate in value until you choose to sell, a stock that pays dividends not only grows in value (hopefully!) but also pays out a small sum to shareholders on a regular basis. This alone makes dividend-paying stocks vital components of any successful investing strategy.
Dividend stocks are those that pay out dividends to shareholders on a regular basis (typically on a quarterly or monthly basis).

This method ensures that the affected shareholder’s family receive their part of the inheritance as quickly as possible whilst there is minimum disruption to the company.
A company’s Articles of Association deal with the issues of transferring and selling shares. In most cases the deceased or critically ill shareholder’s share passes to their family. From the company’s perspective this means that not only do they have a new shareholder, but they also have to pay that shareholder a percentage of company profits each year. This can of course be problematic if the new shareholder adds little or nothing to the running or profitability of the company. Additionally, it could also mean that the new shareholder would look to sell their share to a third party whom the company might not want to be in business with.
The likelihood is that the surviving shareholders will want to retain control of the company. Shareholder Protection Insurance allows the company to do this.

This guarantees more protection for the owners and other shareholders if the company builds up debts that it can’t repay.
With limited liability for the debts of a business, you can take calculated business risks because you are not going to lose everything if it goes wrong.
Many new businesses end up trading at a loss and need to borrow from banks or in the form of credit from suppliers. If the business can’t pay the money back it will be wound up and all the assets sold to pay back the creditors.

Limited companies pay corporation tax which is set at a lower rate than the income tax paid by sole traders and partnerships.
As a director of a limited company, you can also take money from the company as dividends, rather than a salary, which can be more tax efficient. A salary is subject to employee and employer National Insurance contributions, but you don’t have to pay this if you take a dividend.

When starting a business, choosing the correct form of business entity best suited for your company will be advantageous in the long run. There are two common business entities to consider, a corporation and a limited liability company.
Corporations are the traditional form of business entity that is normally used by larger companies. A corporation is legally recognized as an independent entity, separate from the owners. A corporation would require strict management and recordkeeping procedures. A corporation will protect shareholders from liability issues.
The owners of a corporation are referred to as shareholders. The corporation issues shares and the number of shares the shareholder has would correspond to the percentage of ownership. Corporation shares are easily transferable from shareholders. A corporation has perpetual life, meaning that a death of a shareholder would not interfere with the existence of the company. A corporation management structure is very strict. There must be a board of directors who oversee the Entire Corporation, and officers that run the company. They must hold an annual shareholder meeting and make annual reports.
Members of a corporation are protected under the business, which is also known as the corporate veil. It protects the shareholders from personal liability for business debts and claims. If the company cannot pay off a creditor, the creditor cannot go after the assets of a member of the company.

First, a final decision has not yet been made, but the reason for doing this is all about creating the environment for Tesla to operate best. As a public company, we are subject to wild swings in our stock price that can be a major distraction for everyone working at Tesla, all of whom are shareholders. Being public also subjects us to the quarterly earnings cycle that puts enormous pressure on Tesla to make decisions that may be right for a given quarter, but not necessarily right for the long-term. Finally, as the most shorted stock in the history of the stock market, being public means that there are large numbers of people who have the incentive to attack the company.

This gives the Communists, who won 229 of the 630 seats in Parliament, more power than they have ever before enjoyed, being able to bring down Signor Andreotti's government simply by voting with his opposition.
The Christian Democrats won 262 seats in the last election -- less than half of the total. Signor Andreotti, who named 22 ministers on Friday and 47 more the following day, can only count on his own party in parliament. The Christian Democrats' traditional allies -- Socialists, Republicans, and Social Democrats -- have all said they will abstain in parliamentary votes.
The Communist Party did not immediately announce its official attitude towards the new government, but was expected to abstain in a parliamentary vote of confidence due within a week. Italy's western allies, meanwhile, particularly West Germany and the United States, have expressed their concern at the

Our customer, Dr. Gregory Kettering, a popular veterinarian, has returned to share his radiant experience and system success, backed up by three years of incredible tracking and charting of his energy use, costs, and production. With his home’s total energy use costing only $800/year, the proof is in the numbers.
In 2012, Dr. Kettering and his wife Dale built a spacious, comfortable, energy efficient home in picturesque Buena Vista, CO, surrounded by views of 14,000 foot peaks. Their green-home concept was to reduce their footprint as much as possible, use earth-friendly construction materials, and tap into one of our most powerful and abundant natural resources, the sun, as a clean, renewable energy source to heat water and generate electricity for space heating and general house use.
They called Infloor Heating Systems to design a heating system that worked with solar thermal energy for their two-story, 3,795 square foot home, powered solely by electricity. Infloor President Michael Willburn worked directly with the Kettering’s to design the system of their dreams. “This was one of our more complicated projects, and also one of our more exciting and meaningful ones,” said Michael.
Michael designed the heating system with Infloor hydronic radiant heating throughout the lower level, with nearly 3,000 feet of ½” BPEX tubing, spaced 9″ OC, divided into four zones. The smaller sized upstairs is heated by five panel radiators, which are set to the same temperature as the

Assembly of large biochemical networks can be achieved by confronting new cell-specific experimental data with an interaction subspace constrained by prior literature evidence. The SIGnaling Network Open Resource, SIGNOR (available on line at http://signor.uniroma2.it), was developed to support such a strategy by providing a scaffold of prior experimental evidence of causal relationships between biological entities. The core of SIGNOR is a collection of approximately 12,000 manually-annotated causal relationships between over 2800 human proteins participating in signal transduction. Other entities annotated in SIGNOR are complexes, chemicals, phenotypes and stimuli. The information captured in SIGNOR can be represented as a signed directed graph illustrating the activation/inactivation relationships between signalling entities. Each entry is associated to the post-translational modifications that cause the activation/inactivation of the target proteins. More than 4900 modified residues causing a change in protein concentration or activity have been curated and linked to the modifying enzymes (about 351 human kinases and 94 phosphatases). Additional modifications such as ubiquitinations, sumoylations, acetylations and their effect on the modified target proteins are also annotated. This wealth of structured information can support experimental approaches based on multi-parametric analysis of cell systems after physiological

Indeed, agreeing to be a loan co-signor involves a lot of financial, legal and personal risks. What are these risks and their effects to the unwitting debt co-signor? How can one protect himself or herself from these risks?
When a friend or a relative wants to take out a loan, say a personal debt or a home mortgage loan, he or she may ask you to be a co-signor, especially if you have the right financial credibility that will improve someone’s chance of getting approved for a loan. Many who have co-signed for a loan do so to help a less established friend or relative secure an urgently needed money.
What should be clear to those who are being asked to co-sign a loan is that agreeing to such a role goes beyond signing on the dotted line and acting as a kind of guarantor that the person who is actually borrowing will not default on his or her payment responsibilities. Once you signed, it entails important responsibilities including accepting that in the future, you may actually shoulder the payment duties of the original debtor.
For many co-signers, signing a pledge of payment guarantee on behalf of another person’s loan was not a hundred percent free will. Being obliged to family, relatives or friends and simply finding it hard to say no and turn one’s back to a friend in need made

Rivers Casino & Resort currently offers off-track betting, or OTB.
OTB payouts have fees taken out before winners are paid. The new program would eliminate that existing 5 percent surcharge, which means the payoff is the same as if the player is at the track itself.

“It’s an opportunity to continue the strong relationship and partnership with Rivers Casino,” Kosiur said after Monday’s vote, which was unanimous.
Officials believe eliminating the fee will serve as an additional draw to the casino.

Cosigning in these financial agreements in its own appeal may sound right and even enticing.
Individuals who have chosen to enter in to such cosigning agreements would most probably end up losing more rather than gaining from the agreement. As a result, the credit scores and reports of those individuals who entered in cosigning deals will have to bear the same effects. This means that the individual who just signed the consigning agreement most probably as a favor will end up unnecessarily risking his or her own credit worthiness ratings.

In 1846, Sawyer returned to Knowlesville and relocated to Albion, New York the following year. There he studied law with Curtis & Stone before finishing with Benjamin L. Bessac. Before completing his law studies, Sawyer was elected to the position of superintendent of public schools for Orleans County, New York in 1848.
In 1851 Sawyer was elected as a justice of the peace and served in that position for nearly 5 years. In 1855, he formed a partnership with Sanford E. Church.

In affluent GCC nations, plastic waste composition in municipal solid waste is around 12 – 16 percent. Plastic waste in the region is continuously increasing due to increasing use of plastics in daily life. The Middle East is responsible for about 8 percent of the global plastic production.
Plastic waste is a source of greenhouse gas emissions and ecological damage. Majority of the items found on beaches across the region contain plastic which pose a serious danger to marine life. Plastic waste disposal is a major challenge due to non-biodegradable nature of plastics and such wastes are visibly present in landfill sites for a long time.
Recycling of plastics is one of the best methods for sustainable disposal of plastic wastes. Unfortunately, plastic is much more difficult to recycle than materials like glass, aluminum or paper. A common problem with recycling plastics is that plastics are often made up of more than one kind of polymer or there may be some sort of fibre added to the plastic (a composite).
Plastic polymers require greater processing to be recycled as each type melts at different temperatures and has different properties, so careful separation is necessary. Moreover, most plastics are not highly compatible with one another. Apart from familiar applications like recycling bottles and industrial packaging film, there are also new developments like covering pipes, window frames, roofing membranes and flooring.

The report cited Philadelphia, Memphis, and Sunrise and Deltona, Florida, as metropolitan areas where the economics of recycling are not feasible anymore.
“We are in a crisis moment in the recycling movement right now,” California state treasurer Fiona Ma told the Times.

It seems like Americans are recycling more than they need too, blending trash with recycled items, which triggered the Chinese to ban plastic waste shipments from abroad.
With China no longer a buyer of American post-consumer plastics, recycling and waste companies are now slapping municipalities with higher service fees.
“Amid the soaring costs, cities and towns are making hard choices about whether to raise taxes, cut other municipal services or abandon an effort that took hold during the environmental movement of the 1970s,” the Times reported.

Based on more than 20 data sources, from the beverage market to U.S. census tables, "Bottled Up: Beverage Container Recycling Stagnates (2000-2010)" indicates sales of disposable beverage containers grew 22 percent from 2000-2010, with per capita consumption up 8 percent over that period, but the rate at which we recycled the empty containers fell.

Of these, 153 billion were either landfilled, littered, or incinerated. "This put the national wasting rate for 2010 at 63 percent, a nearly 10 percent increase over 2000, when the wasting rate stood at 59 percent, and a whopping 20 percent jump since 1990, when our non-recycling rate for containers stood at approximately 52 percent," according to the institute's news release.

To encourage people to recycle, most cities around the world give homes and workplaces bins broken down by plastic, paper or glass recycling bins. In some suburbs, these have been replaced by 'catch-all' recycling bins that take all these materials.
This has worked in one sense, because it gets people to recycle more and throw away less, but it's also led to much more contamination in the system. Because in reality, not all papers, plastic and glassware is made equal, and there's a lot more that dictates whether something is recyclable or not.

The solution is that FiliGrade has developed a digital watermark that can be applied during the production of plastic products and/or packaging, cheap and efficient.
With this watermark, the plastic product has, as it were, its own DNA. Bottles - large and small -, dishes, crates, jerry cans and even films can be provided with a watermark. In the waste separation, the watermark is read and the plastic with watermark can be automatically sorted by its properties, after which many more plastics than now can be fully recycled. In the European context (PetCore), in close cooperation with producers, processors and the EU, is currently being tested which method will ultimately be preferred: watermarks or (chemical) tracers.

As of January 2018, China has placed a strict ban on the import of plastic waste. This has had a huge impact to the world, and particularly to Britain. Why do you ask? Well, prior to the ban, Britain exported around 500,000 tons of plastic per year to China.
In the past, China was happy to receive the waste material, as it could be recycled and used as part of its industrial expansion. According to The Telegraph, China used 7.3 million tons of plastic waste in 2016, which was enough recycled plastic to constitute half of the word’s usage. But, between concerns for the environment and growing issues with contaminated plastic waste being sent over to China, the country has drawn a line and is now refusing to be the world’s landfill.

“I actually believe that China has done us a huge favor,” said Mike Durfor, executive director of the Northeast Resource Recovery Association, during a public forum.
Without the consistent market that China provided for recyclable material, the pressure will be on to come up with other ways to convert the materials — such as paper, glass and plastic — into new products. And the pressure is certainly on. The costs of recycling have risen over the past year due to the restrictions that Beijing announced to the World Trade Organization last summer.

There is a high demand for black plastics that are desired by many manufacturers for its color and durability. They are colored using a type of industrial pigment called carbon black, and is used in various products such as plastic utensils, coffee cup lids, CDs, and food containers. However, the thing that makes black plastics so desirable is also the same thing that makes it rather difficult to recycle.
Because of its dark color, optical sensors in recycling plants are unable to detect the type of plastic and hence cannot sort them out for proper recycling. When this happens, the black plastics are sorted as regular waste and end up in landfills. In fact, in the UK, black plastic accounts for 15 percent of all plastic waste.
The problem is that even as regular black plastics tend to go directly to waste, the demand for it remains high. Because of this, manufacturers turn to recycled e-waste to supply the demand for black plastics.
Every year, the world generates about 50 tons of e-waste coming from electrical equipment that are already considered outdated. Some of these items end up being recycled but according to researchers, such a practice may pose health risks because it may still contain toxic chemicals such as lead, bromine, and antimony that eventually get into the manufacturing of everyday items.

This is a huge issue because here in the UK it has been estimated that five million tonnes of plastic are consumed each year – with 4.5 million tonnes entering the waste stream annually.
In early March the European Commission launched a Green Paper on plastics, looking at plastics disposal and recycling across the whole of the European Union. It discussed the fact that approximately half of all plastic ends up in landfill – which in terms of energy is the equivalent of 12 million tonnes of crude oil being buried each year.
The paper also drew attention to the big problem of single-use plastic carrier bags – in just one year in the UK, 2010, it was estimated that 200 plastic bags were used per person. This has led to radical proposals, including a total ban on plastic bags across the whole of Europe. Italy has in fact already implemented such a policy, having banned non-biodegradable plastic bags on 1st January 2011.
Other European countries have approached the problem of waste plastic bags by financially disincentivising consumers from using them. Bulgaria, Denmark and Ireland have introduced a tax on plastic bags, which in Ireland has seen a reduction in their usage of 90%. Such a dramatic fall has also been observed in the UK,

Those unanticipated costs are among the primary reasons Wellenstein tapped a state grant to reach out and educate Lowell residents about what can and cannot be recycled. Wellenstein also partnered with the Recycling Partnership, a nonprofit that works with governments to improve recycling programs, to audit two collection routes of 400 homes. Before Wellenstein and his staff fanned out to inspect carts on the routes, the city mailed multilingual postcards to those households that illustrated in full color which items were acceptable and which were not. For the day of the audit, the team was armed with “OOPS” cards. If the team found a cart with nonrecyclable items, they would tag it and it wouldn’t be emptied.
Before the outreach effort, the two routes had a contamination level of about 30 percent. After the effort, which spanned about 16 weeks, the level fell to 20 percent. “It’s still not ideal,” says Wellenstein, “but we could tell that in that zone of 400 households, we made a difference.” Most of the time, Wellenstein reports, it only took one tag for folks to be more careful about what they recycled.

Solving the problem of plastic pollution may not as easy as just by recycling or cleaning up empty bottles, the truth is that the plastic causing the pollution can range in size from big to microscopic.
Simply, plastic pollution is when plastic has gathered in an area and has begun to negatively impact the natural environment and create problems for plants, wildlife and even human population. Often this includes killing plant life and posing dangers to local animals. Plastic is an incredibly useful material, but it is also made from toxic compounds known to cause illness, and because it is meant for durability, it is not biodegradable.

Many people think styrofoam is recyclable, but really it has no business in recycling containers. Many recycling facilities are unequipped to handle this difficult to process type of plastic. Styrofoam, also known as polystyrene, is a harbinger of contaminants and since most recycling facilities don’t clean items, styrofoam does not make for good recycling. It’s also flammable and difficult to break down, so you should try to avoid using it at all if possible.
People have probably thrown their pizza boxes into recycling containers hundreds of times thinking they’re recyclable. Even if the box displays a recycling symbol, chances are high the boxes can’t be recycled because they contain grease, which makes paper products non-recyclable. In fact, many food containers have the same problem. Anything that absorbs grease can’t be recycled, so this includes paper napkins, paper plates and paper towels. The good thing, though, is that these items can be composted!
Although these containers are made of paper, many of them have a thin layer of plastic coating that can’t be recycled. Some juice boxes are also lined with aluminum. That’s why most programs don’t accept them and why they don’t belong in recycling containers.

Among her projects was the documentation, in the early 1950s, of the entire length of U.S. Route 1, spanning some 2,370 miles from Key West, Fla., to Fort Kent, Maine. This adventure introduced Abbott to Maine, a state that so captivated her that she moved to the small town of Monson in the 1960s.
Abbott went on to create a significant body of work documenting life in her new home state. A Portrait of Maine, on which she collaborated with writer, artist and friend Chenoweth Hall, was her final book and comprises photographs from across the state in Abbott’s signature documentary style.
While Portrait was organized into themes of nature, work, play and towns, the Bates exhibition focuses on work, specifically logging in the mid-1960s, as the industry was entering a major period of change driven by technological advances and environmental concerns.
In particular, the practice of using rivers to transport timber was entering its final years as Abbott was making these images. While lumbering remains an important part of Maine’s economy, nowadays “it’s hard

Mayra Berenice Gallo is shown in a photo provided by the Santa Ana Police Department on Nov. 28, 2018.
Mayra Berenice Gallo, 24, allegedly became enraged when she discovered there was not enough ketchup in the order when the incident occurred on Oct. 27.
After ordering in the drive-thru of the McDonald's restaurant in the 1500 block of North Bristol Street in Santa Ana, California, she went into the restaurant through the employee entrance and asked for more ketchup.
The manager told her she couldn't be in the building and Gallo allegedly "became combative" and started pushing, punching and choking the employee, police said.
Another worker tried to intervene and called other employees to help, the video showed.
A man who was believed to be with Gallo is credited with stopping the attack when he pulled the woman off the manager. The two then left the restaurant.
Police said in a news release Wednesday that they received numerous tips from the public on the woman seen in the video, which led them to Gallo. She was arrested Tuesday on a $15,000 warrant at her home in Santa Ana.
She was booked on suspicion of assault.

Retrieved Text: Berenice Abbott was an American photographer known for her portraits and documentary photographs which stressed the communicative, even educational value of the photographic print. She pursued a realist vision in recording history and her own historical experience in order to potentially affect change in her audience. Her photographs purposely facilitated the interaction and dialogue between the photographer, the photographic print, and the viewer. Abbott's realist approach to photography stems from her career as a portrait photographer in Paris as well as the influence of Eugène Atget's photographic realism. After eight years in Paris, Abbott moved to New York in 1929 to document the modern transformation of the city. The resulting book Changing New York (1935-1938) received critical acclaim and has continued to resonate to this day.
For Abbott, the photographic image had to be honest, contingent, and objective to be communicative. In her own words, straight photography is: "precision in the rendering and definition of detail and materials, surfaces and textures; instantaneity of observation; acute and faithful presentation of what has actually existed in the external world at a particular time and place."
Abbott identified how photography, in particular science photography, could act as a friendly interpreter of the world to laymen and women. She accomplished this task through her photo book on Changing New York that summarized the city's modern transformation, and her science photography. Her ability to capture scientific subjects and endow them with popular appeal and scientific correctness enabled her to make physics visually comprehensible.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability has opened an investigation into the raid, which was conducted last night in the South Deering neighborhood.
Donieshia Wade was returning home with her son to what had been a child's birthday party when she came upon police inside and outside her home. Children were crying.
Wade said that police did not immediately show her a warrant; instead, they tell her she can come see it at the station.
Apparently, Chicago police believed that a child was in danger at the home.
"It's traumatic," Wade said. "I've heard of things happening with CPD, and our society, and our community, and I've never experienced it first hand."
"If there's a child in danger, and there is someone who has been harming the child, and potentially someone who has been harming the child, it is in the best interest of police to go get the child," said attorney Exavier Pope.

Bernice Abbott was born in Springfield, Ohio, on July 17, 1898. She attended Ohio State University in Columbus with the goal of being a journalist but left after one year and moved to New York City. In the city she joined several friends associated with the Provincetown Players in Greenwich Village, where she worked small parts in plays and did modeling to support herself. Photography was not on her agenda at this time; her dream was to be a sculptor. Working as a model she posed for the photographers Man Ray and Nickolas Muray. She became close friends with Man Ray, who later on would bring her into photography. During the late teens in New York, she also participated in Dadaist publications and met Marcel Duchamp.
Abbott was seeking creative freedom, New York City and most of America did not offer that to women at the time. In 1921 after her recovery from influenza, she moved to Europe and studied sculpture in Berlin and Paris. In 1923 she was living and looking for work in Paris. Her friend Man Ray hired her to be his assistant in his photographic studio. Abbott took to the new medium of photography quickly. Man Ray introduced her to other photographers including Eugène Atget, whose photographs of Paris captured her interest. In 1926 Berenice Abbott had her first single artist exhibition and opened her photographic studio in Paris. She was successful. Some

I have all of my certifications for phlebotomy ……Those employees are rude,hateful and just out right nasty. They are the laziest people I have ever seen.
Now I just wanted to say it is true that a location with low volume of patients only require one PST (Patient Service Tech), but what does low volume mean? 40-60 patients?
While being at LabCorp for a short time, I was told that one location received high volume (~300 patients) which required 6 PSTs. Now I worked at a hospital before and we each phlebotomist draws around 35-40 patients a day (about 300-400 patients a day) so does that mean 40-60 patients at a LabCorp PSC equals low volume?
Somehow, I think LabCorp PSTs forget that at a hospital outpatient blood draw room, there is a receptionist that processes all the requisitions, prints out labels, copies, fax, and handles inquiries. The phlebotomists at a hospital draw blood [and then maybe process specimens and paperwork on their next rotation].

Many businesses now require drug tests for their employees, which results in a continual stream of people looking for fast, quick, and accurate test results. If you’re a medical provider looking to serve this clientele, you may want to consider outsourcing your urine drug tests to a reliable third party like Premier Medical. There are a number of benefits to outsourcing the tests to a company like Premier, the first of which is that you can rely on them for accurate results. If kept in poor conditions, urine drug tests can easily become unreliable (they can be altered using vinegar or bleach, for example) so it’s important to find a company like Premier whom you can rely upon to conduct the tests in a controlled environment. Additionally, with more and more patients needing urine drug tests, it’s valuable to have a company that can conduct a large number of tests at once. Lastly, outsourcing your tests to a company like Premier will help you deliver fast results to your patients, which can be of the utmost priority when patients need results for job interviews and professional obligations.
Being able to direct patients to a fast, safe, and reliable provider like Premier gives you a competitive edge over other medical providers, and will keep patients coming back to you for years to come.

This week there was another revelation about military drug labs and military drug testing that undermines the reliability of the system. I have previously spoken about the employee tampering at the Norfolk Navy Drug Testing Laboratory (NDSL) before it was shut, the false positives at NDSL Great Lakes and San Diego (before it was shut down), Tripler Forensic Drug Testing Labratory (FDTL), and the Brookes FDTL. The General Counsel for the Department of Defense released a Brady notice this week with two studies (one Navy, one Air Force) that determined that leakage during shipment of a positive sample can cause other samples in the box to test positive. In other words, even if bottles are closed tightly in the box, there can be cross-contamination based on the loose positive urine in the box.
As background, once the drug testing is completed, the bottles should already be in an open box that holds twelve bottles (called a batch). The box is then taped closed and wrapped in a garbage bag and placed in a second box. In the study, the labs placed positive samples that were lightly tightened in batches of clean urine and shipped them to and from each other. When the labs received the samples boxes back, they opened and tested the samples.
By instruction, when a box is received and there is leakage, the lab technician is supposed to mark a discrepancy code for all bottles in the batch. This discrepancy code should then be reported in the

Drug testing in the workplace is nothing new. It’s been something that federal agencies, including the Department of Transport, have implemented for some time. But private companies are also beginning to realize that there are distinct benefits to testing, many of which can help them to save money in the long term.
In most cases, whether or not to test for drugs is a decision that is often left to employers. In some safety-sensitive industries, like transport and logistics, as well as federal agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Highway Administration, drug testing is mandatory. But other than that, employers generally have free rein as to whether they want to implement a screening policy or not. Even though drug testing isn’t a requirement, many employers ultimately decide that they do want some kind of screening procedure in place. The biggest reason for this is to avoid legal liability. In some cases, an employer might be held legally liable if an employee under the influence of drugs causes injury to themselves or others at work. Drug and alcohol use at work may also violate health and safety laws, as outlined by the OHSA, meaning that businesses could face a federal lawsuit.

This sample is often urine but can also be blood, breath, saliva, sweat, or hair samples. Hair testing is increasingly used because it can detect long term use. A drug test reveals the presence of the drug itself or at least one of its metabolites.
Drug tests are generally done as a screening test first (this can be done as an on-site test or at a laboratory) and then sent to a laboratory for confirmation testing if an initial positive result is returned or if there is a problem with the submitted sample. On-site screening tests are often referred to as POC, or point of collection, tests and can be done quickly. They are often named based on the number of drugs or drug metabolites they can detect. For example, a 5 panel drug test tests for 5 drug classes and a 10 panel drug test looks for 10 drug classes. Confirmation tests are usually completed in certified laboratories using equipment such as a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer.
The illegal drugs that are generally screened are: amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine, cannabinoids, hallucinogens. Prescription drugs can also be tested for illicit use: morphine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methaqualone, methadone, and propoxyphene. Other substances such as inhalants and anabolic steroids can also be tested.
In the workplace, employers have the right in most jurisdictions to test their employees to detect illegal drugs use and alcohol abuse in order to try to maintain a safe workplace.

The normal approach to treating bacterial infections is with antibiotics, and you are strongly advised to use or consider using antibiotics. However, antibiotics have several disadvantages.
For example antibiotics can kill off or deplete the good bacteria in your digestive tract. Antibiotics can also have side effects, which occasionally are severe. Furthermore, antibiotics do not boost your immune system and sometimes may weaken it. So whilst a course of antibiotics may get rid of an infection, it may leave you depleted.

It’s part of the overall safety protocols put in place by many organizations, but it often doesn’t make its way to the cubicle industry. We wanted to put some common drug testing myths to the test, especially where corporate America is concerned because unless you wear a hard hat to work every day, this is probably not something you thought would happen to you.
Here are a number of myths about drug testing that you might want to consider.
False. It’s not mandatory unless your employer says it is mandatory. It’s a case-by-case basis kind of thing, but if your employer says yes, then you should be ready to pony up a urine sample anytime, anywhere.
If you mean someone can give you a fake drug test, then sure. But you can’t “fake pass” a drug test. You can’t hydrate the hell out of your urine either. Drinking liters of water before a drug test is not going to help. Only time can reduce the presence of drugs in your system.
Some people think if they work up a big sweat before a drug test, they can rid their body of the chemicals they

Retrieved Text: Q: My Company wants to institute a drug testing policy that would automatically disqualify an applicant for employment if they test positive for illegal drugs, including medically-prescribed marijuana. Is this legal?
A. The law regarding the responsibility of employers to accommodate medical marijuana use continues to evolve as more states pass laws allowing for marijuana use for medical and recreational reasons. In Pennsylvania, for example, the law is silent as to whether an employer can rely upon a positive drug test as a reason to reject the applicant for employment. However, the statute lists specific areas in which employers may prohibit employees from working while under the influence of marijuana – operating or controlling government-controlled chemicals or high-voltage electricity, performing duties at heights or in confined spaces; and performing tasks that threaten the life of the employee or his/her coworkers. By implication, outside these specified areas, employers may be required to accommodate marijuana use, so long as it does not occur at work.
In New York, the law goes even further, providing that certified patients shall not be subjected to “disciplinary action by a business” for exercising their rights to use medical marijuana. A patient with a prescription for medical marijuana in New York State is considered to have a “disability” under the New York State Human Rights Law. This means that New York employers must provide reasonable accommodations to employees or prospective employees who are certified to use marijuana for medical reasons.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently ruled that employers may be held liable for disability discrimination

Even our own employees can sometimes be surprised at the intricacy that makes up a drug test collection. From the point of view of the person taking the drug test – often referred to as the donor – there are some tried and true ways the drug test collection process can be optimized to result in a positive and hassle-free experience.
With more than 8,000 collection sites, including 1,300+ company-owned and operated Patient Service Centers (PSCs) and 1,500 preferred third-party collection site locations, we offer unparalleled access to a nationwide network of drug testing sites. The life of a drug test specimen begins at a collection site, where strict chain of custody procedures are used every step of the way to ensure the integrity of specimens collected.
Scheduling appointments for drug tests, allowing adequate time for each appointment, and considering the busiest hours of the day at a site are some of the most critical components in the drug testing collection process. Here are three additional ways employers and donors can create the optimal experience at a Quest Diagnostics Patient Service Center.
Locate a convenient PSC using our online scheduling tool before sending someone for his or her drug test collection.
Once a site is selected, schedule one person for each available open time slot. Allow ample time for individuals to complete their collection.

Retrieved Text: In a recent ruling by a Florida appeals court, an interesting legal decision was made in regards to a search and seizure by law enforcement at a person’s home for drugs, per a search warrant. As a reminder, under both the United States and Florida Constitution, a person has the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure of their home and property, and from unreasonable governmental intrusion. Under case law, both federal and in Florida, absent some limited exceptions, law enforcement must first obtain a search warrant from a judge, based on probable cause, to be able to search one’s home and/or property. Many times law enforcement will conduct a “knock and talk” at one’s home to speak with people and try and gather information to establish probable cause of criminal activity, to then, in turn, seek a request for a search warrant. The novel issue in this recent Florida case was whether the presence of a “No Soliciting” sign at the home negated the customary ability of visitors, including officers, to knock and talk to the person at the home’s front door.
The First District Court of Appeals stated that while the Defendant’s No Solicitation sign would be able to warn away would-be solicitors from his door, the police officers were not at his front door for the purpose of soliciting him, for example, to buy tickets or contribute money, but rather was a non-solicitation “knock and talk”, which is allowed under the law.

First, no other sign was being held by a person, much less a group of people. Something about this sign was different. Most signs are passive objects, but this sign was active. People were looking for people to actively participate in the message of their sign.
This tribe of protesters were passionate to end abortion. Although not actively marching, (they were huddled up since it was 30 degrees) their message was clear. Abortion is bad.

Standing on the corner in sub-freezing weather is admirable but not changing anything. Catching a cold is going to be the end result of such an exercise.

In Portland, you have to look for the octagonal sign shape — not easy to see when you’re looking at the back of a sign across the intersection (maybe with a telephone or light pole in front of it), and almost impossible when looking at the narrow edge of a sign regulating cross traffic.
It’s critical for everyone — whether driving, riding, or walking — to know who must stop at an intersection. You don’t want to enter an intersection until you’re sure nobody is entering it from your left or right. You don’t want to make a left turn until you know whether an oncoming vehicle or bike is going to stop.
Easier to see from any direction.
Portland has a mish-mash of info added below stop signs: “All Way” signs at intersections with four stop signs, “Oncoming Traffic Does Not Stop”, “Traffic From Right Does Not Stop”, etc. But it’s not consistent, which itself creates danger. Those also only give information to people who do have a stop sign. If you don’t have a stop sign, there’s no

For the past few years we’ve had up a small, laminated “no soliciting” sign right underneath the doorbell. It has definitely cut down on the disturbance, and we’ve actually seen people come up the porch steps and then leave immediately. Hooray!

In fact it would be illegal for any individual to write financial advisor on their business card if they were not properly registered to do so.

We had seen Williamson do several unthinkable things, like hitting his head against a backboard while blocking a shot or completely denting a basketball. Now, we have seen him do something else impressive: his foot burst right through his shoe.
Immediately, people blamed college basketball. DeMarcus Cousins said that Williamson should sit out the rest of the year to avoid risking further injury and hurting his draft stock.
Cousins is right, to a degree. But playing at Duke has made Williamson millions of dollars.
The Blue Devils went 26-5 during the regular season. Of their 31 games, 28 were on an ESPN network. Williamson missed one non-ESPN contest, meaning that 24 of 26 games (a whopping 92 percent) were nationally televised on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU.
Plenty of people didn’t know about Williamson before the season. Or maybe they had heard about him but hadn’t seen him play.
Well, the basketball world knows now. And it’s thanks to Duke being all over ESPN.
Even with his injury, Williamson is likely going to be the No. 1 overall pick. That’ll net him a four-year rookie contract worth about $33.7 million, per this year’s NBA rookie salary scale.
In fact, NBA rookies can earn up to 120 percent of that scale. Williamson could actually take home a little more than $40.4 million in his first four seasons – more than $10 million per year.

Sure, Williamson could have gone to the G-League and gotten some experience against NBA-capable players. But he'd only make $35,000 this season and probably wouldn't generate the hype he did at Duke. G-League players will start making $125,000 per year starting with the 2019-20 season, which makes the decision more interesting, especially for fringe NBA players.
But again, going overseas may have ended up hurting Williamson's prestige. Guys like Brandon Jennings and Emmanuel Mudiay did it, playing in Italy and China, respectively. Both players have had fairly productive NBA careers (Jennings last played in the NBA in 2018), but would they have gotten more exposure staying in college?

This time around, things are a bit different.
And yet it's important to keep perspective. The No. 2-seeded Wolverines are 28-6. They won 15 Big Ten games and played for a Big Ten regular-season title and tournament championship.
Same time, Michigan enters Thursday's game against No. 15 Montana looking to kick-start itself after another loss to Michigan State, in Sunday's conference tournament final.
Montana has played small ball for the better part of the last month as leading scorer and rebounder Jamar Akoh (6-foot-8, 253 pounds) has been sidelined with an injury. With that, Montana has started essentially a three-guard lineup with two wings.
Bobby Moorhead is 6-foot-7, but he weighs less than 200 pounds.
Offensively, it has worked out pretty well for Montana. The Grizzlies can shoot at every position. Ahmaad Rorie is a terrific scorer and one of the best mid-major guards in the country.
Defensively, though, switches could get interesting. If Montana plays Michigan straight up, Jon Teske vs. anyone significantly smaller than him becomes a mismatch. If Montana switches screens, something it has done in the past, the Wolverines have to keep their foot on the gas in the pick-and-roll game.
Small lineups can bother teams. But Michigan has the ability to play small itself with Isaiah Livers at the five spot.
If Akoh can't play, or is limited, Michigan has to hammer that situation.
Montana has some serious shooters. Sayeed Pridgett

Gonzaga’s athletic director couldn’t be more proud of the men’s basketball team’s achievements on the court, but he cared enough to find another record-breaking statistic: During the last 20 years, only five Division I players were named first-team All-Americans on the court and in the classroom during the same academic year.
“That’s just amazing,” Roth said Thursday as he ticked off the names: Dan Dickau in 2002, Kelly Olynyk in 2013 and Nigel Williams-Goss in 2017.
Remarkably, Olynyk pulled off the feat while leading a team that was ranked No. 1 on the court. Williams-Goss did it while taking the Zags to the national title game, and his 3.84 grade-point average was the highest of any player in last year’s Final Four.
Though not among the nine GU programs to post a perfect 1,000 APR, the GU men still made the top 25 nationally with a score of 995 that easily topped the West Coast Conference.
“That may be the reality at some places, but not here,” said Roth, who noted that in 19 years as head coach, Mark Few has seen all but one player graduate.

He also encouraged the owners of the teams to become more involved with the teams and the decision making as a whole.
Silver initiated a request for the matter to be discussed with the owners at next month’s league meetings. The matter was brought to the fore after back-to-back nationally televised games were significantly diluted due to teams resting star players. In the memo, Silver stated that decisions in the NBA can directly affect the fans and impact the reputation and perception of the game.
The memo goes on to say that with everything at stake, it is unacceptable for governors not to be involved in the decisions of their organisations. Over the past few months, the rest issue has cropped up, becoming a key talking point when teams like Cleveland and Golden State elect to rest their star players in nationally televised games.
It is a common complaint that fans have paid a premium price to see the NBA stars play, but when they arrive at the game, they find that these players have been given the night off. It is also becoming an issue with the networks who pay upwards of $US24 billion to the NBA for television contracts.

Her mum was looking for something that Jenny would enjoy and would get her out of the house. She was fairly socially isolated, and would not leave home for months at a time.

For Jennifer Boylan, creaking stairs, fleeting images in the mirror, and the remote whisper of human voices were everyday events in the Pennsylvania house in which she grew up in the 1970s. But these weren’t the only specters beneath the roof of the mansion known as the “Coffin House.” Jenny herself—born James—lived in a haunted body, and both her mysterious, diffident father and her wild, unpredictable sister would soon become ghosts to Jenny as well.
I’m Looking Through You is an engagingly candid investigation of what it means to be “haunted.” Looking back on the spirits who invaded her family home, Boylan launches a full investigation with the help of a group of earnest, if questionable, ghostbusters. Boylan also examines the ways we find connections between the people we once were and the people we become. With wit and eloquence, Boylan shows us how love, forgiveness, and humor help us find peace—with our ghosts, with our loved ones, and with the uncanny boundaries, real and imagined, between men and women.

"[M.J. Rose] transports the reader into the past better than a time machine could accomplish" (The Associated Press).
New York, 1924. Twenty‑four‑year‑old Jenny Bell is one of a dozen burgeoning artists invited to Louis Comfort Tiffany's prestigious artists' colony. Gifted and determined, Jenny vows to avoid distractions and romantic entanglements and take full advantage of the many wonders to be found at Laurelton Hall.
But Jenny's past has followed her to Long Island. Images of her beloved mother, her hard-hearted stepfather, waterfalls, and murder, and the dank hallways of Canada's notorious Andrew Mercer Reformatory for Women overwhelm Jenny's thoughts, even as she is inextricably drawn to Oliver, Tiffany's charismatic grandson.
As the summer shimmers on, and the competition between the artists grows fierce as they vie for a spot at Tiffany's New York gallery, a series of suspicious and disturbing occurrences suggest someone knows enough about Jenny's childhood trauma to expose her.
Supported by her closest friend Minx Deering, a seemingly carefree socialite yet dedicated sculptor, and Oliver, Jenny pushes her demons aside. Between stolen kisses and stolen jewels, the champagne flows and the jazz plays on until one moonless night when Jenny's past and present are thrown together in a desperate moment, that will threaten her

The experienced criminal defense attorneys of The Turner Firm can help craft an individualized defense for you with the goal of reducing the criminal penalties as much as possible.
What are the penalties under Georgia law for cocaine possession?
In Georgia, cocaine possession is a felony crime. Punishment for cocaine possession is significantly greater than punishment for marijuana possession. That’s because cocaine is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance under Georgia law. If you’re convicted of cocaine possession, you’ll be facing the possibility of one to 15 years in prison as well as a maximum fine of $100,000 plus court costs and surcharges. You’ll also have your driver’s license suspended.

If you have been criminally charged in federal court for legal activity in the state of California, then your first step should be to hire an attorney. If law enforcement has already arrested you on a misunderstanding, it’s your word against theirs. When the court is not as willing to listen to you by yourself, you have a louder voice when there’s a criminal lawyer in the room who is speaking on your behalf.
Federal crimes are the most serious crimes a person can be charged with. If someone is a defendant in a federal action, this means that he has been accused of committing a crime against the entire country. As such, the penalties associated with federal crimes are more severe than those at the state level.
There are a few ways in which federal crimes differ from state crimes. For one, there is no such thing as “double jeopardy” here. A person can be charged at both the state and federal levels for the same crime.
For instance, if a person robs a bank, he can be charged for robbing the bank within that state, and then be charged for robbing a federally insured business. So while the crime was the same, the charges are slightly different. A person may also be charged with a state crime on top

JOHN LOTT: The Problem With the FBI’s ‘Active Shooter’ Data.
The FBI’s first report claimed that only once from 2000-2013 did a concealed handgun permit holder stop one of 160 reported “active shooter” attacks. These active shooter attacks include any time a gun is fired in a public place, even if no one is injured or killed. They exclude gang fights or attacks that arise out of other crimes such as robberies.
The report got massive news coverage on the front pages of such newspapers as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, as well as all of the TV news networks. Gun control activists have frequently cited the report in court cases and in political debates to claim that civilians rarely use guns to stop public shootings.
Unfortunately, the problems with the reports have continued during the Trump administration. The latest FBI report, released in May, misses still more cases. The FBI claims that from 2014 to 2017 there were 90 active shooter cases and only seven where permit holders stopped these attacks.

Omnius has been hiding a lot from the people of Avilon. The war with the Sythians is not what we thought, but that raises the question: if not the Sythians, then what did Omnius go to fight in the Getties Cluster?
Omnius knows what people will do before they do it. He predicts citizens’ behavior, and some suspect, he even makes those predictions come true. For those who wish to be free of his influence, Avilon’s lowermost city, the crime-ridden, shadow-filled Null Zone is the only option, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that not even the Nulls are free, and there is a more sinister reason behind The Choosing than the one Omnius gave.
As Omnius’s predictions begin to come true, Ethan Ortane realizes he could lose the one thing that matters most to him in the universe--his family.
Far from Avilon, the Sythians are hiding out in the neighboring Getties Cluster. Out there they discover something that wasn’t supposed to exist: a group of human rebels that escaped from Avilon. Their leader, Therius, seems to raise more questions than he answers, but he has a plan to defeat Omnius that just might work.
As Therius’s plan unfolds, people realize the terrible truth: he can’t win by conventional means, and he knows it. The alternative is called the Armageddon Protocol, but it could mean the end of everything, not just Omnius. .

Some parts of London's West End have already been declared saturation zones, a policy which comes under the Licensing Act 2003. This gives local councils the power to refuse to grant any new licences for bars or clubs within the zone.
The policy has proved so successful it is now spreading to other areas of the capital. In Fulham the saturation zone would include the area around Fulham Broadway, along Fulham Road and around Stamford Bridge.
Over the last few years, the council has become aware that, due to the popularity of the location, the increase in the number of venues and longer trading hours, local residents, businesses and visitors within the Fulham Town Centre Area are being affected by crime and disorder and public nuisance on a regular basis.
Following an earlier consultation with residents, businesses and responsible authorities the council is of the opinion that however tightly controlled and well-run individual premises are in the area, the number of premises in one location is resulting in issues such as excessive late night noise, rowdiness, intimidation, litter and criminal damage, all of which have had a detrimental effect on the local area.

Mass shootings are committed by mentally ill people to achieve a form of immortality, or by political zealots to terrorize the public. They know the more they kill, the more publicity they’ll get. They also know the only way they will be stopped is by a good guy with a gun, so they choose to attack in places where they know nobody else will be armed.

Prescott completed 32 of 36 passes for 279 yards in the Cowboys 26-20 victory. It was the second-best completion percentage in the NFL history and best in the team history.
Smith was moved to the point of posting a video message to Twitter. He personally thanked Prescott for sending flowers to him and his family following his mother’s passing a few weeks ago.
Prescott’s mother died of colon cancer in 2013 so the loss of a parent is near and dear to him.
Smith recorded the video with three Super Bowl trophies in the background. He was the foundation of the team’s three Super Bowl titles in the 1990s before becoming the league’s all-time leading rusher.
Smith believes the Cowboys have what it takes to get another Super Bowl title behind the play of Prescott and Elliott. At 12-2, the Cowboys have the best record in the NFC and are tied with the New England Patriots for the best record in the NFL.
"I'm so proud of the Dallas Cowboys right now,” continued Smith. “These boys are on their way to try to accomplish one of these three things that you see behind me right now.

We have to admit – just two weeks ago we thought that the Cowboys were dead in the water. You did too, admit it. They lost to the Tennessee Titans after a bye week, at home, in an embarrassing fashion. It seemed that there was no hope for this team that looked, and still looks, just average.
But, something changed in the meantime. It’s not like the Dallas Cowboys are a great team just two weeks later, but there are two things that might be the key for them. One is Ezekiel Elliot, there are no ifs, and, or buts about it.
The Cowboys simply decided that they are going to give the ball to the best player on their team. Well, who knew that he is a good player, right?! Clearly, the head coaching staff just found that out. This team featured him in their offense two straight times and the team looked good.
The second this is the fact that this division is god-awful. It’s just a fact. The Giants were playing like garbage for the majority of the year. Yeah, they have gotten some things together in the past couple of weeks, but they fell behind the pack right away, which is going to cost them the chance to fight for the crown.

This game was a very important game for the Rams, this is the farthest they have gone since winning the Superbowl in 2000, and they aren’t done yet.
There are some a few things that I have gathered from this game.
First, Our defense is back… Well kind of. The defensive line and linebackers kept the run game shut down. Only allowing Ezekiel Elliot to get 47 rushing yards, and Dak Prescott 4. Dante Fowler Jr. also had a sack against the cowboys. The Rams also forced 4 punts. However, the secondary needs to step it up. They allowed a 44 yard reception. Talib is back, which is great, but he isn’t showing that he can play as well as he used to.
Second, we have the BEST Offensive line. They let up 0 sacks against arguably the best defensive players they have met since the Chiefs. They also allowed Gurley to get 115 rushing yards and a touchdown. With a 7.2 yards per carry average. They also got CJ Anderson 123 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns.

Damontre Moore is a Dallas Cowboy.
The former Giants defensive end has been given a fourth chance to salvage his career by Jerry Jones, according to a report by ESPN. The Cowboys need pass rush help, and they are taking a flier on the 2013 third-round pick and former Texas A&M star, who will be joining his fifth team in 15 months. Moore worked out for the Cowboys during last season, but did not sign with the team.
Moore's latest (last, last, last?) chance comes after an arrest on charges of driving with a suspended license and suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Washington state this past December while playing for the Seahawks. Moore has reportedly pled not guilty to those charges.
Moore has flashed as a pass rusher in his career (10 sacks), but he has never been a consistent contributor, nor been able to get out of his own way. The Cowboys have never shied away from taking a chance on a troubled player who they believe can turn things around while helping them win football games. Now they've teamed up.
The Giants finally gave up on Moore late in the 2015 season in the aftermath of Headphonesgate. He finished that season with the Dolphins after being claimed off waivers, and then had a brief stint with the Raiders in the 2016 preseason that was highlighted by - what else? - a scuffle in practice.

Pretty much a microcosm of what we’ve seen most of the season — inconsistent offense and a defense that got wore down as the game went on and gave up too many big plays. The Cowboys got soundly beat by a better team.

It moves the chains, possesses the ball and can score more points, and the defense doesn’t allow too many big plays.

After all, when Dallas picked Jackson in the 6th round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the team was planning on honing his skills for the future of the Cowboys.
This is why throughout the season, the Cowboys heavily relied on lead rusher Ezekiel Elliott. Even when McFadden suffered a broken elbow before minicamp, the Cowboys did not activate Jackson even though he was part of the roster, according to Draft Wire. He did, however, get the chance to spend time on the field during the preseason. During that period, he ran the ball for 40 times for 141 yards.

By the time reporters got a chance to tell Elliott about his ranking, he already knew. He seemed to understand the reasons that contributed to his “low” ranking too. Elliott cited the fact that he missed six games last season as the main factor.
Missing that much time limited Elliott to 983 rushing yards on 242 carries. That isn’t a bad return by any means, but it pales in comparison to what Elliott did as a rookie. His 2016 total of 1,631 yards on 322 carries helped him reach the Pro Bowl. In comparison, his sophomore season was definitely a disappointment.
Elliott and the Cowboys hope that his relatively calm offseason will pay big dividends for him on the field. After a tumultuous summer following his rookie season, he kept things pretty quiet this offseason. Presumably, that has allowed him to focus a lot more of his mental energy on football.

Quarterback Jay Cutler passed for 372 yards and running back Matt Forte accumulated 200 all-purpose yards, including two receiving touchdowns. Cutler also found receivers Devin Aromashodu and Johnny Knox for big plays in the passing game while the team piled-up 23 first downs against the Lions.
To pull an NFL predictions upset, the Bears are going to have find a way to score more points, something they found challenging against an improved Lions defense. The Cowboys (0-1) didn’t have a problem defending in their 13-7 NFL picks loss to the Redskins. The Skins managed only 250 yards in total offense against the Cowboys as Dallas denied the running game and forced quarterback Donovan McNabb to beat them. Dallas, though, provided little pressure on McNabb, with just one sack, and no interceptions. The Cowboys

At the beginning of last year, as a grade 9 survivor (no small feat!), Miss 15 decided that grade 10 was going to be a happy year. To her credit, she decided to record one thing on her calendar, at the end of each day, that made her happy. Simple enough. What started out as an idea became a personal challenge to see if she could stick to it.
Most days her happy moment was something simple…taking the dog for a walk…the colour of a sunset…having a friend over…picking wildflowers. Then there were extra special things like the thrill (and the chill) of standing on top of Mt Wellington, Tasmania, in minus 4 degrees with gale force winds blowing!
I recently heard animated chatter coming from her room and poked my head in to see what was up. Her brother had picked up the calendar and started reading some of the entries aloud, reminding her of last year’s happy times. “Could you go through the year and write down your top 5?” I asked. A little later she presented me with a 2015 Happy List which had 11 entries instead of 5; a pretty good effort considering she started with 365!
Nine out of eleven ‘happy times’ had taken place outside in nature. Nature really does nurture us.
None of her ‘happy times’ required spending money. Even taking the dog long boarding involved borrowing her sister’s long board!

As the spring thaw lays bare the discarded waste of winter, many Canadian fitness enthusiasts are trying to spread the word about plogging, an eco-friendly exercise mashup that combines the endorphin rush of jogging with the environmental benefits of picking up trash.
Plogging is a portmanteau of jogging and the Swedish phrase “plocka upp,” meaning pick up, and the premise is as simple as its name suggests.
Rather than racing past the rubbish strewn along their route, ploggers pick it up to be disposed of properly, and if they’re feeling ambitious, try to squeeze in a few exercises in between pieces of trash as they fill up their bags.
The Swedish-exported fitness craze has gained a small but zealous following in Canada as ploggers try to connect with one another by showing off their trash hauls on social media.
Melanie Knight in Vancouver has taken up a 30-day challenge to collect litter for 10 minutes every day, which she has documented on Instagram with the #10minutetidy hashtag.
She regularly posts selfies of her smiling brightly alongside some of the strange debris she has come across during her daily runs, including a leather belt, a children’s toy, and ironically, a dustpan.

With the addition of vision to FANUC robotic pickers, these systems will not only be able to sort prescriptions, but they will also be able to double-check their work, and also keep a more accurate log of their products.

One friend will walk up to every woman he meets and try to get a date with them.
The other will wait around, study a woman he likes, and wait for a signal she's open to being approached.
Neither method is better than the other, but while my first friend meets with a lot of rejection and failure, my second friend, the one who scopes out his target beforehand, has a much higher success rate.
See, he only goes after women who like him. He calls himself a "sniper," picking his targets with accuracy, whereas my other friend is a "shotgun," hitting everything and hoping something sticks.
When you know a woman is into you, she becomes a "target of opportunity."
This means that you have an "inroad" with the woman. An opening that let's you know you have a chance of scoring with her.

Based on his or her review of your complete record, the Administrative Law Judge will make a written decision on your Social Security disability case. The majority of these decisions are either Favorable or Unfavorable. Some, however, are "Partially Favorable." In layman's terms, this just means that the decision isn't giving you everything you asked for in your application. Many decisions are partially favorable because the Administrative Law Judge found you to be disabled after your alleged onset date. Others may find that you were disabled for only a specific period of time (a closed period). Partially favorable decisions can have a huge impact on your benefits. For example, a partially favorable decision may find that you became disabled after your date last insured. This means that based on the decision, you will not be able to receive any Disability Insurance Benefits.

The Supreme Court’s decision is correct; the city’s action was discriminatory on the basis of race and ethnicity. Given that fact, it’s disappointing to see a 5-4 decision.

The Fourth District had held that recusal is required when a judge is a Facebook "friend" with a prosecutor. Borrowing from the long recognized legal principle of Florida law that a mere traditional friendship between a judge and an attorney, standing alone, is not sufficient to disqualify the judge, the Florida Supreme Court extended that rule of law to social media friendships, holding that "an allegation that a trial judge is a Facebook 'friend' with an attorney appearing before the judge, standing alone, does not constitute a legally sufficient basis for disqualification."
A law firm sued a former client for breach of contract and fraud. During the litigation, the law firm contended that the former client's executive was a potential witness and a potential defendant. The former client hired a former judge to represent the executive. The law firm moved to disqualify the trial judge on the basis that the former judge was listed as a "friend" on the trial judge's Facebook page.

Federal sentencing is probably the least intuitive process for any lawyer, let alone a non-lawyer, to contemplate. If you watch a typical criminal sentence on a television show or even listen to the news, you quickly realize that many sentences are based upon an agreement between the prosecutor and a defense attorney.
For example, in the state of Texas, if somebody broke into a car, you could as a defense lawyer approach that prosecutor and say, “Hey, can we agree to a probation?” or “Hey, can we agree to ten days in jail as a sentence?” If the prosecutor agrees, you can take that agreement to a judge and 99 times out of 100, that’s the sentence that the client will get.
In the federal system, the prosecutor almost never has the authority to make an offer for a specific sentence. Instead, you go through this complicated United States guidelines computation to give a suggestion to the judge, who solely makes the sentencing decision. They suggest, “Well, you should get kind of this range,” and then the judge can go above or below it. The bottom line is the judge decides, and you have no idea until the day you’re sentenced — one is blinded and one certain. That is probably the easiest way to explain how sentencing in federal cases work.

The lawyers, Michael Karnavas and Ang Udom, were appointed to defend Meas Muth in December 2012 at the suspect’s request. They also represented former Foreign Minister Ieng Sary for over five years, before his death in March 2013 in the midst of his own crimes against humanity trial.
Investigating Judge Mark Harmon said in his decision, dated January 10, that the lawyers’ work on Ieng Sary’s case and their defense of Meas Muth could give rise to conflicts of interest, even after Ieng Sary’s death, and ordered the court to appoint new defense lawyers in their place.
Judge Harmon said there was evidence that Ieng Sary acted as a superior to Meas Muth and that the facts in their cases were closely interrelated.

It was heard in chambers as an urgent application. The presiding judge was the Judge President, Justice George Chiweshe. The President was represented by a team of lawyers led by Deputy Attorney General Mr. Prince Machaya. The NCA was represented by Mr. Alec Muchadehama and Andrew Makoni from Mbidzo, Muchadehama and Makoni.
The President, through his lawyers, raised a preliminary point challenging the jurisdiction of the High Court. They argued that the President had certain prerogatives which cannot be questioned by the courts. One such prerogative is setting a date for a referendum. The President's lawyers argued that the court had no powers to review the President's decision of setting March 16 as the date of the referendum. On that basis alone, they wanted the court to dismiss the NCA application. They relied on a section on presidential powers in the Constitution of Zimbabwe. For the NCA, Mr. Muchadehama submitted that the High Court had jurisdiction to review the decision of the President. He argued that the section of the Constitution of Zimbabwe relied on by the president's lawyers for their argument was not applicable and that every exercise of power by the President was subject to review by the courts.

In 2016 a federal judge found that ORR had used X-rays alone to send a Somali boy to ICE detention, as reported in a story about dental age assessments in May by Reveal. The judge ordered that the child be returned to ORR custody.
“My understanding of the immigration people's responsibility is that they have to take a holistic approach. They have to look at all of the available evidence and then combine all of that evidence into a decision about whether or not someone has reached the age of majority. That is not a decision that I make, and our reports do not indicate that,” he said.
In court filings, Matt Adams, a lawyer for the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project who worked on the case, argued that ORR had relied only on the dental evidence to assess age. "My assumption was that the agency relied upon that probability percentage then to make that determination that the client is no longer a child," Adams said.
The affidavit says that the age estimation data in Senn’s report “reflects a fundamental lack of the statistical expertise required to offer meaningful analysis."

Sometimes Christians complain too much about the behaviour of people who are not Christians. Perhaps those Christians are just gossiping. Or perhaps they are genuinely worried about the state of this world.
There are proper reasons why Christians should be aware of other people’s evil deeds. Christians have a duty to pray for other people. Also, Christians must sometimes explain to people why their actions are against God’s law. And Christians should help people who suffer because of other people’s evil and cruel actions.
Christians should always remember that God is the judge. They themselves do not normally have any authority to act as judges. So instead, they must trust God to do what is right. And they must only deal with those matters that God wants them to deal with.
However, there is one matter where God gives some Christians authority to make judgements. It is in the organisation of churches. Church leaders must sometimes make important decisions about the members of their churches. And in those matters, the church leader acts as a judge.
It is a serious responsibility, and the church leader must pray carefully. God’s word, the Bible, should guide his decision, as the law guides a judge. The church leader must not show favour (special kindness) to someone who is wealthy, impressive or important. He must do what God wants him to do.

Four months ago, a federal district judge in Wisconsin abruptly halted a long-running state investigation into alleged coordination between Governor Scott Walker’s recall campaign and a number of supposedly “independent” outside groups. Whatever one thinks about the wisdom of that investigation, Judge Rudolph Randa’s decision was a striking instance of judicial chutzpah. Thankfully, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has now restored a modicum of sanity.
In his ideologically-laced opinion, Judge Randa announced that outside groups have a constitutional right to coordinate unlimited “issue” advocacy with candidates in the run-up to elections. In other words, while an ad that says “Defeat Senator Jones because he doesn’t stand with the troops” cannot be coordinated, one that says “Call Senator Jones and tell him to stop hurting the troops” can be. Such a rule would enable easy circumvention of most remaining campaign finance laws. That, Judge Randa admitted, is precisely the point: he believes such circumvention is a constitutional right.
As the Brennan Center argued in an amicus brief filed with the Seventh Circuit, Judge Randa’s view is simply not the law. In fact, his reasoning runs contrary to almost forty years of Supreme Court precedent, including Citizens United. Yet Judge Randa not only broke new ground, he actually claimed that his interpretation of the law was already “clearly established” –

Although Nevada marijuana regulators took action last week to issue recreational marijuana licenses to businesses other than the state’s liquor wholesalers, a judge has put a temporary stop to this plan.
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Judge James Todd Russell handed down an order last Friday that prevents any business other than the liquor distributors from putting marijuana on the shelves of the state’s 60 dispensaries. The temporary order, which was requested by the Independent Alcohol Distributors of Nevada, suggests that the alcohol industry has been denied due process by the Department of Taxation.
The department must now prove the liquor distributors cannot adequately handle the job before the injunction can be lifted – something that taxation executive Deonne Contine believes has already been accomplished.
It was just a month ago that Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval issued a “Statement of Emergency” over a marijuana shortage that took place shortly after the state launched its “early sales” program. Reports shows that some of the dispensaries licensed to sell recreational marijuana serviced 10 times as many customers as they did through the medical sector alone.
However, Judge Russell does not believe his decision to halt additional marijuana distribution licenses will sabotage the market. He says the six booze distributors the state has, so far, given permission to transport marijuana from grow facilities to retail outlets should be enough to hold down the fort while the issue is being sorted out.

The administration has a few different options to proceed legally, after the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied the Justice Department's request to put on hold the ruling that froze implementation of the travel and refugee bans.
But now, a move from a judge in the Ninth Circuit means that a bunch of additional judges there likely will be having a say on what happens next.
Here's what happened and how we got here.
On Thursday, the Ninth Circuit issued an order denying the Justice Department's request to stay the Feb. 3 trial court order halting enforcement of the ban. The focus throughout the day Friday was on whether the Trump administration would — and should — go to the Supreme Court seeking a stay (which would allow the ban to be implemented during the legal proceedings).
The problem there, though, is the 4-4 split on the Supreme Court. Inside the White House, there could be significant concern about whether a majority of the court — so at least five justices — would vote to grant a stay. Again, this would involve the issue of whether the ban could be enforced right now.
With that in mind, it made sense when multiple outlets reported Friday afternoon that the Trump administration would not be going to the Supreme Court now — instead continuing to fight out in lower courts

The first and foremost step is the decision taken by the judge whether or not you should get spousal support or not. The second decision has a tube made on the person receiving the support and the one providing it. And the decision has to come absolutely from the judge about the amount, receiver and many such things.
The first thing the judge is going to look into is the need of getting spousal support. The recipient’s financial status is evaluated by the judge and then a decision is taken. If a person is capable enough to earn his or her own needs then the decision will be affected accordingly. Also if the person holds an asset which can be used to meet up the requirements then also the decision would be affected. Of course, the determinants here are the length of marital relationship and the other prevailing circumstances.
The one who is directed to pay the support is also evaluated by the court. And for this, the savings, the income, the assets held by the person is checked and verified.
For the marriage which could survive for less than two years or for two years then also, the judge will certainly not penalize the payer to give off “permanent spousal support”. In fact, there is a high possibility that the judge would not ask to make any payment

We lawyers say the Commonwealth has to make out a “prima facie” case. The prelim is not about proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Its main purpose is to safeguard an accused person’s right against illegal arrest and detention. As skilled defense attorneys know, however, the prelim serves other functions, as well.
Because the prosecution’s burden of proof at a prelim is so low, the presiding judge upholds the charges in most cases. The charges are then “bound over” to the county court of common pleas. Knowing their case is almost certainly going to be bound over, many defendants elect to waive their preliminary hearing. That is, the accused, while not admitting guilt, concedes that the prosecution has met its extremely low burden of proof.

The folks at Chicago-based CNX also looked far and wide for a compelling and easy-to-use tool, including IBM HATS, CGIDEV2, WebSphere, and a handful of third-party options. But none of these turned into the “goldilocks” solution they had dreamed of. So, as the old saying goes, CNX–the experienced AS/400 and BPCS programmers that they were–decided to build one themselves.
This dashboard interface demonstrates the type of rich Web 2.0-style interfaces for i OS applications that are possible using pre-built screen widgets available in the Ext JS library, which is included in CNX’s Valence.
With this “secret sauce” RPG layer, called the RPG Toolkit, providing back-end connectivity to the System i’s integrated Apache Web server, and the Ext JS toolkit providing all the widgets and gadgets for creating Web 2.0 browser interfaces, CNX believes it has created a largely native way of delivering a compelling Web 2.0 screen to new or existing i OS applications–all without writing Java or installing WebSphere.
Valence gained several improvements with version 2.0, which was made available as a release candidate last week and which is expected to become generally available in the next two weeks.

The conductivity of a semiconductor is someplace in between that of an insulator, that has basically no conductivity, and a conductor, that has basically complete conductivity. Many semiconductors are crystals made from specific components, many generally silicon.
To comprehend how semiconductors function, you should initially comprehend a little about how electrons are arranged in an atom. The electrons in an atom are arranged in layers. These layers are known as shells. The outer shell is known as the valence shell.
The electrons within this shell are the ones which form bonds with surrounding atoms. This type of bonds are known covalent bonds. Many conductors have only one electron in the valence shell. Semiconductors, however, generally have 4 electrons in their valence shell.
it is feasible for all the valence electrons to connect with valence electrons coming from other atoms if all the surrounding atoms are of the exact same type. The atoms organize on their own into structures known crystals while that occurs. Semiconductors are produced of such crystals, generally silicon crystals.
Right here, each circle stands for a silicon atom, and the lines in between the atoms stand for the shared electrons. Each of the 4 valence electrons in each silicon atom is provided one surrounding silicon atom. Hence, every silicon atom is bound with 4 other silicon atoms.

The contextual sentiment focuses on what was said, the verbal inflection focuses on how it was said, and the facial expression helps determine the emotion of the participant as they are completing the task.
The overall emotional score integrates our expressiveness, attention, and valence measures to give an overall score of the feeling a participant has when completing a task. For tasks with a low emotional score, this indicates a negative emotional reaction to completing the task. Inversely, if a task shows a high emotional score, the participants experience a positive emotion while completing the task. Depending on the objectives of your study, you may focus on one or the other.
A high expressiveness score indicates the participant’s facial muscles appear to be active and expressive during the task. This does not mean that participants with a low expressiveness score are disengaged, rather their facial expressions aren’t showing enough activity to indicate a high level of expressiveness.
A high attention score indicates the participants facial angles indicate a focus on the screen they are looking at. A low attention score would indicate that a participant is not focusing to the screen and may be focusing away from the task at hand, or possibly at something offscreen.

Retrieved Text: The last couple of months I've been reworking the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) handling of Simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES). In this process there has been a couple of discoveries which may be interesting to share. Something previously not provided by the CDK was correct handling of implicit valence.
Both the Daylight Theory Manual and OpenSMILES Specification explain the concept for the organic subset. The specifications provide a more detailed explanation but as a simple example with the SMILES '[CH2]=[CH][CH3]' we can omit hydrogens counts and just write 'C=CC'. However, with '[CH]=[CH][CH3]' we must include the count on the first atom '[CH]=CC'. We include the labelled count if the implied count does not match.
The OpenSMILES specification explains how we can determine the implied hydrogen count.
This approach is simple and elegant for the aliphatic subset with non-aromatic bonds but what about the aromatic subset? One could speculate we have to assign explicit bond orders (kekulizé) a molecule to obtain the correct counts. Indeed the OpenSMILES specification seems to suggest that.
"...the SMILES software must verify that electrons can be assigned without violating the valence rules..."
Personally, I do not believe this to be the case and having the correct hydrogen count provides an additional validation if we do assign a kekulé structure.
Perhaps how we get the count for the aromatic subset is obvious and doesn't need including in the specification. However as I will show there are a couple approaches used by the different (open source) toolkits.

She also was very immature at times and according to my personal opinion she was cheating on Liam the entire time because she was still in love with Mason as well as she was willing to stay in a relationship with no love and being mistreated which I believe is unacceptable for any woman with self respect. I enjoyed the secondary characters of Mason's brothers and Cassidy as they made a good foundation for the rest of the series. The growth of both Mason and Gina's was brilliant because it was wonderful to see them both mature towards the end of the book. The highlight of the book for me was the combustible chemistry between Mason and Gina because it was both well written and well added into the book. I enjoyed

Flexibility is one of the main aspects of physical fitness along with cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance. Most health clubs emphasize cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength, giving only an occasional class that will improve flexibility, such as yoga.
As we get older it is normal for our arteries to begin to become stiff. No one knows the exact cause of this stiffening but it begins to occur in middle age. It has been shown that higher levels of physical fitness seem to delay the the development of the age-associated stiffening of our arteries. We know that this stiffening of the walls of our arteries has been found to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease like heart attack and strokes as well as death. None of us want stiff arteries for it is just logical that blood will not flow as well in a stiff artery.

Purpose : Scleral stiffening has been proposed as a potential therapy for glaucoma. Several studies have evaluated the use of genipin, a natural collagen crosslinker, to stiffen the posterior sclera ex vivo. However, ocular administration of genipin has not yet been studied in vivo and its effects on visual and retinal function are still unknown. Thus, we aim to assess visual and retinal function in vivo following genipin-induced crosslinking of the posterior rat sclera.
Methods : Nine male, retired breeder (9-12 months old), Brown Norway rats were anesthetized and received retrobulbar injections of 15mM genipin unilaterally (concentration based on preliminary in vivo scleral stiffening data) and vehicle contralaterally. The injected volume was 100µl per eye, divided into two 50µl injections, one to the nasal quadrant and one to the temporal quadrant. Visual function was evaluated by spatial frequency thresholds from optomotor response experiments and retinal function by full-field flash electroretinography (ERG) at 0 (pre-injection), 1, 2, and 4 weeks post-injection.
Results : Data from vehicle and genipin-injected eyes were normalized to baseline (week 0) values for analysis. Spatial frequency thresholds of vehicle and genipin-injected eyes were not significantly different over the four weeks (Fig. 1; Two-Way repeated ANOVA, main effect of treatment: p=0.54, n=7).

A criminal act is any behavior or act society decides should be punishable by fines, imprisonment, or both. The current criminal law system in the United States comes from old British common law. However, the crimes are also separated into criminal acts society believes are wrong and those wrong because of a local, state, or federal statute.
What Are Mala In Se Crimes?
Mala in se, which is the plural of malum in se, are criminal acts that are wrong because they violate the moral, public, or natural principles of a society. In the traditional British criminal justice system that the American justice system is based on, crimes that offended society were punished by death or serious harm. Today, mala in se crimes are not traditionally punishable by death, but still face serious sentences.
Which Crimes Are Considered Mala In Se?
Mala prohibita crimes are criminal acts that are wrong because they violate a statute or law rather than being an action that harms or offends society. Most of the time, mala prohibita crimes are less severe than mala in se crimes. For example, a parking violation, tax fraud, and copyright violation are all considered to be mala prohibita crimes.
Do White Collar Crimes Fit into This Category?
Mala in se criminal acts do not normally include white collar crimes. This is because white collars crimes are non-violent crimes committed for business or financial gain. Thus, they typically are classified as mala prohibita crimes.

Correspondingly, many mala makers claim that genuine malas must be made in a certain way – knotted only at certain times (exclusively with traditional seed and wood beads, of course), blessed by the gods in sacred temples, and given only as gifts, never purchased for money.

By now you should know that everything that happens in Vegas, doesn’t stay in Vegas. Hotel bills with hidden fees, a marriage at the Little White Wedding Chapel, and taxable gambling winnings which you must report on your income tax return, will all follow you back home. But hey, you win some, you lose some – and vice versa – you can also deduct your gambling losses.
A “gambling income” is exactly what it sounds like: any money you win from lotteries, raffles, horse races, casinos, etc. Even those lucky $20 grocery store scratch-offs count. And there’s no way to avoid the system. If you pass on the cash and choose a new SUV or 7-day trip to Cancun, you’ll still owe taxes on the fair market value of your prize.
In general, you should record all your gambling winnings on the “Other income” line of Form 1040. So that’s where you’ll put down your $20 pay out from the grocery store scratch-off. But although all gambling winnings are taxable, some require extra paperwork. If you receive a certain amount of winnings or have any that are subject to federal tax withholding, you must get Form W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings, from the payer. For example, you’ll need Form W-2G if you won $1,200 or more from bingo or slot machines.

In some circles, gambling is more of a professional thing while in other places, people do it just for the fun of it. Ultimately, it is the money we desire to make out of our hobby that counts the most. With this at heart, we would all desire to avoid having to move from place to place to enjoy out gambling experiences. Therefore, by engaging in online gambling sites, we can cut the hassles of conventional gambling techniques. This article will help you see the advantages of online gambling sites.
Firstly, online gambling sites are a cheaper option than their alternatives. For instance, if we go the way of conventional casinos, you would have to make laps around the town looking for a legit quality casino, and in some cases have to travel to other cities. The bottom line here is that you have transportation costs to wrap your head around. Equally, if you are going with relatives or friends, that may mean booking a motel or hotel thus you increase your costs. Nonetheless, with an ability to access the internet, you can easily enjoy the gambling experience.

It is vital to note that the Chinese recorded the initial gambling account practice in 2300 B.C. Going back to history, there are plenty of entertainment stories that are based on the Ancient Greeks, Games of Chance, Elizabeth England and the Romans to Napoleons. All these are evidence of the origins of gambling.
The first well-known casino in the world was the Casino di Venezia, which was established in Italy back in 1638. It is interesting to note that this casino is still operational to date.
It is worth noting that in the early 20th Century, gambling was outlawed in the U.S, which was done by the social reformers and the state legislation. This went on until 1931 when gambling was legalized in Nevada State and Las Vegas. In turn, this led to the sprawling of the initial legalized casinos in America, which later became quite famous.
Gambling continued to gain popularity and in 1978, gambling was legalized in Atlantic City. Today, this is the second biggest gambling city in America. Some of the other popular gaming destinations in America include Mississippi, Tunica Resorts and Biloxi in Gulf, Coast area.

IS GAMBLING RIGHT OR WRONG?
Well, much of America (over 50 million) is obsessed with gambling, spending more than 50 billion annually. In addition to this, there are lotteries, bingos, and church raffles which are also gambling. And, many Americans never think about gambling from the standpoint of right or wrong and for many who do think it is wrong, they have changed the label to “gaming.” So, gambling or gaming is big business.
Now, we could talk about the casino itself. There is no doubt that the house is in it to make a lot of money and if you will take the time to look at pictures of Las Vegas and other gaming areas, you will see that they are big and elaborate, and this was all built on the losses from people gambling. We could also talk about the fact that you are winning from those who have lost in the past, but I don’t think that will work. All of these things, while important to study, do not give us a clear answer if gambling is right or wrong.
So, what is the truth, as found in the Bible, pertaining to gambling? Well, to start, the word is not found anywhere in the Bible.

There are of course many different reasons why both online retailing and online gambling are increasing in popularity, but there is no doubt that increased choice is one of the most significant. Online retailing is far cheaper than selling from any high street or even out of town premises, so there is clearly more scope for aggressive pricing, but the internet also allows online retailers to display a much bigger range of product. Adding a new product range to an internet site is far easier than finding room for it to be properly displayed in a shop or showroom, which is why some of the big retailers now site computer terminals in their stores for their customers to access more of their products online.

Hong Kong business mogul Stanley Ho had a monopoly on the region's sleepy gambling industry. The Triads, southern China's organized crime conglomerates, killed openly in the streets, and the economy was shrinking fast.
But on Sunday, when his successor Fernando Chui officially takes over on the 10th anniversary of Portugal's handover of its tiny holding to China, Ho will be leaving behind a place that's been transformed into the world's must lucrative gambling hub. Macau attracted nearly 18 million tourists and raked in over $12 billion in gambling revenue in the first 10 months of 2009  not bad for a local population of only 560,000. In terms of gambling revenue, Macau first surpassed Las Vegas Strip in 2006, and the city hasn't looked back, increasing the number of casinos from 24 in 2006 to 33 today.
Though Stanley Ho (who has no relation to Edmund) is still a major player in the gambling scene, his 40-year monopoly ended in 2002, bringing in stiff competition from the likes of Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson's Las Vegas Sands.

In Latvia, casino and gambling hall operators require two permissions in order to open a venue. One is a license from the State regulator to say that you are an approved operator; the other is a premises license issued by the municipal authority, the latter valid for five years. The Mayor is asking the City officials not to renew premises licenses and so if the Mayor gets his way, over a five year period all targeted gaming venues will have to close.
How did they get here? It’s a familiar story. There was no ability within the law to limit the number of gambling venues, so they popped up everywhere.

All arachnids have eight legs, although the front pair of legs in some species has converted to a sensory function, while in other species, different appendages can grow large enough to take on the appearance of extra pairs of legs. Almost all extant arachnids are terrestrial. However, some inhabit freshwater environments and, with the exception of the pelagic zone, marine environments as well. They comprise over 100,000 named species, including spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, ticks, mites, and solifuges.
Almost all adult arachnids have eight legs, and arachnids may be easily distinguished from insects by this fact, since insects have six legs. However, arachnids also have two further pairs of appendages that have become adapted for feeding, defense, and sensory perception. The first pair, the chelicerae, serve in feeding and defense. The next pair of appendages, the pedipalps, have been adapted for feeding, locomotion, and/or reproductive functions. In Solifugae, the palps are quite leg-like, so that these animals appear to have ten legs. The larvae of mites and Ricinulei have only six legs; a fourth pair usually appears when they moult into nymphs. However, mites are variable: as well as eight, there are adult mites with six or even four legs.
Arachnids are further distinguished from insects by the fact they do not have antennae or wings. Their body is organized into two tagmata, called the prosoma, or cephalothorax, and the opisthosoma, or abdomen. The cephalothorax is derived from the fusion of the cephalon (head) and the

A few spiders are so small and live such hidden lives that most of us never see them. Others are enormous.
Some of the smallest spiders in the world are anapid spiders, sometimes called armoured spiders because of the cuticular plates on their pinhead-sized bodies. Small spiders like anapids are usually found in damp, cool habitats like forest leaf litter and moss because their small bodies can lose water rapidly in dryer conditions. The largest spiders in the world include the South American Goliath Tarantula, some so big their legs can span a dinner plate. Such spiders may take decades to reach such a size. However, spider size is limited, partly because their respiratory physiology becomes less efficient at very large sizes.
Many spiders have unusual body shapes and colours.

Their cousins, the microwhip scorpions, however, are an altogether different kettle of miscellaneous scuttling things.

But because of their size and reclusive nature, hiding from the light in soil or in the depths of caves, this was practically all we knew about them.
Until now. An intrepid team of biologists have explored the Ardovská Cave in south-east Slovakia, where one species of microwhip, Eukoenenia spelaea, thrives.
“Most parts of the upper floor [of the cave] are covered with dark sediment rich in organic matter,” says team member Ĺubomír Kováč of Pavol Jozef Šafarík University in Košice, Slovak Republic.

Here to discuss this research and whole genome duplication in the ancestors of vertebrates and other chelicerates is author of the study, Alistair P. McGregor.
It is thought that gene duplication plays an important role in generating new genetic material for the evolutionary diversification of species. Gene duplication can be caused by several mechanisms and in the extreme case two copies of all of the genes in a genome can be generated by whole genome duplication (WGD).
In a recent study published in BMC Biology, my colleagues and I analyzed the genome of the common house spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum and we have found evidence for a WGD in the lineage leading to spiders.
This event was likely shared with scorpions and probably other arachnopulmonates like whip-scorpions and whip spiders, but not with more distantly related arachnids such as ticks and mites. This suggests that the approximately 45,000 extant species of arachnopulmonates evolved from a polyploid ancestor over 400 million years ago.
Our study also suggests that this WGD in arachnids was likely independent of WGD in another group of chelicerates, the horseshoe crabs. Our findings thus offer an exciting opportunity to discover more about the outcomes of WGD in terms of gene content and regulation, and how such events may contribute to animal diversification.
In the ancestor of vertebrates there were two rounds of WGD

In fact, most spider species that have been found to commonly infest homes may decrease the amount of bugs in your home, as most spiders consume both insects as well as other arachnids.

Question: I am a retired fireman who has developed heart problems. In the fire station, there were a lot of diesel fumes. Are these diesel fumes responsible for my heart problems? Could they have affected my health?
Response: Diesel exhaust exposures have been linked to heart (and lung) problems in many research studies. These studies show fairly consistently that higher levels of diesel pollution in the outdoor air is related to higher number of deaths, hospital admissions, heart attacks, and other bad health outcomes. Since these studies base their results on populations (and not individuals), their results say that on average an increase in bad health outcomes may occur for the group that they studied, often a group of people living in a particular city or a group of elderly people.
What this means for you is not that clear. Even though these studies show that inhaling diesel fumes is bad, they don't necessarily say anything about whether diesel fumes in your firehouse are responsible for your specific heart problems. You (with some help and guidance) could estimate your risk of heart problems from diesel exposures in the fire house, given your family, diet, exercise, smoking and work history; scientists and consultants do this all the time. However, to do so properly, you would need to make many assumptions (including how much pollution came from the trucks) and factor in your exposures from fighting fires, when you may have inhaled soot and other pollutants that can also

Constipation can be countered by drinking a lot of fluids. Eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grain bread and cereals also help in better digestion.

They describe diet plans which involve making extreme, rapid changes to food consumption, but are also used as disparaging terms for common eating habits which are considered unhealthy. Both types of diet are often considered to pose health risks.
Where this is the case, it will be noted in that diet's entry. Detox diets involve either not consuming or attempting to flush out substances that are considered unhelpful or harmful. Examples include restricting food consumption to foods without colorings or preservatives, taking supplements, or drinking large amounts of water. The latter practice in particular has drawn criticism, as drinking significantly more water than recommended levels can cause hyponatremia.
Some people's dietary choices are influenced by their religious, spiritual or philosophical beliefs. People's dietary choices are sometimes affected by intolerance or allergy to certain types of food. There are also dietary patterns that might be recommended,

there was a strong inverse relationship between tree nut consumption and developing these medical conditions.
Other studies have also shown that eating tree nuts does not lead to weight gain and the high concentration of fiber and nutrients offsets the calories consumed.
2. Nuts may reduce heart deaths in the elderly.
those that ate nuts >5 times a week had a reduced risk of overall death of nearly 20% and of heart disease deaths a stunning 40%.
Of additional interest, the elderly who ate doughnuts had twice the risk of dying of heart disease during the study!

Michael Ristow, M.D., a professor at ETH Zurich, and his team find that the compound does so “by mimicking a low-carb diet in elderly mice reflecting human retirees”.
In 2007, Michael Ristow showed that too much nutritive sugar shortens the lifespan of roundworms, a widely studied model organism in ageing research. Conversely, impairing carbohydrate metabolism in these worms was capable of extending lifespan [reference 1]. Unfortunately, the method used in worms at that time unexpectedly appeared to be ineffective in rodents [reference 2], and hence was not studied further.
Next and most importantly, the researchers fed glucosamine to ageing mice in addition to their normal diet. The mice were 100 weeks of age, reflecting a comparative human age of approximately 65 years. A control group of mice received no glucosamine while otherwise receiving an identical diet. Feeding the supplement to mice extended their lifespan by almost 10%, reflecting around 8 additional years of human lifespan. Moreover, glucosamine improved glucose metabolism in elderly mice indicating protection from diabetes, a life-threatening disease most prevalent amongst the elderly.
Additional analyses revealed that glucosamine feeding promotes the breakdown of amino acids in both worms and mice. Amino acids are key components of proteins, and they become preferentially metabolized in the absence of carbohydrates. As Ristow points out, “this reflects the metabolic state of a low-carb diet due to glucosamine supplementation alone – while these mice ingested the same amount of carbohydrates as their unsupplemented

Sodium consumption has always been understand as bad for overall health. Too much dietary sodium is strongly associated with high blood pressure, according to the American Heart Association. In this blog post, Dr. Mark Reichman weighs in on sodium’s affect on your oral health?
We generally visualize sodium as salt. But salt in itself does not damage tooth enamel. It’s the vessel that salt travels in that contributes to tooth decay – unhealthy foods. Sodium and carbohydrates often partner up, especially as processed foods.
Oral bacteria feasts on simple sugars and produces tough acids whenever you consume any food or beverage that contains carbohydrates. The acids are kept in contact with tooth enamel by plaque that forms in your mouth throughout the day. The longer it remains in your mouth, the more damaged the tooth enamel becomes. This damage is best avoided by avoiding sodium-rich foods. The American Heart Association does not recommend using salt liberally in your diet. Especially if these foods are sugary and high in carbs, they should be enjoyed in moderation. Pizza, pasta, breads, and snacks like pretzels and chips are among the top sources of sodium in the American diet, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Even though these foods are relatively low in sugar, their starches can be metabolizes into simple sugars by the enzymes in your mouth. The starches are further broken down to generate the same

"Two years ago Professor Stampfer co-authored a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, which found that the group on a low-carbohydrate diet who ate the most saturated fat ended up with the healthiest ratio of HDL to LDL and lost twice as much weight as those on a low fat diet."
The conclusion of this research is that there is NO association of cardiovascular heart disease with saturated fat consumption (fat in red meat, butter, coconut butter, lard etc.).
So don't be a fat phobic. Fat and animal protein have been on the plant and eaten by humans as long as we have been around! Our bodies have therefore evolved with these foods for a lot longer than most of the modern foods we consume which can take more of the blame for increasing problem we have with chronic disease. Grains (wheat etc.) for example, have only been produced in agricultural quantities 10,000 years ago, a drop in the ocean to the complete time humans have evolved over.
However, this is not the complete picture because from a MetabolicTyping® and Body BioTyping point of view not everyone will react the same to fat, it is not about the food but more about what the body does to the food.

Six months before she died, my grandmother moved into an old people's home and I visited her there when I was in Britain. She was sitting in the living room with about 15 other residents, mostly women, half of them asleep. The room was clean and warm, with flowers and pictures, and the care assistants were kind and cheerful.

I'd say it's likely, since as you mentioned it's the first weekday April Fool's in several years. That said I do hope they tone it down this year. Some of the "pranks" from previous years were so overblown/staged/forced that it took the humor out of most of them.

Nine year olds are often incredibly preoccupied with fairness, and unfortunately anything which they perceive to be as unfair is met with a chorus of disapproval.
Ask them to lay the table?
"I laid the table yesterday - it shouldn't always be me doing it!"
If you seem to be fighting constant battles over what is and isn't fair when it comes to household chores you might be able to save yourself some aggravation by creating a rota or chart with agreed tasks for your child.
That way they'll know what is expected of them (and hopefully at least) they'll be less rows over what's fair and what isn't. If you like you can also run a reward scheme whereby they can save up points for a treat of some sort. This might come in handy if there are extras which you'd like them to do - perhaps an extra task would mean bonus points earned!
But what about dealing with the concept of fairness more generally?
The truth is that sometimes life just isn't fair; and children need to understand that. So what should you do?
I would suggest talking to your child about various real life scenarios, and try to get them to acknowledge the difference between what's ‘fair' and what's ‘right'.
For example, if someone hits your child, they may feel that a fair response is to go right ahead and hit them back.

Here are just four of the reasons why your child should learn to play chess.
If you're thinking about getting your child involved in the game of chess, you should know that it will do more than provide entertainment. The game of chess will also teach your child valuable critical thinking skills. Your child won't be able to simply move the pieces around the board.

They'll learn how to always be one step ahead with their thinking, which will also help them develop problem-solving skills.
When it comes to playing chess, your child will learn that not all moves are going to go quickly. In fact, most moves will take quite a bit of time to complete. Playing the game of chess requires patience, which your child will learn as they continue to play. Not only will your child learn to be patient with others, they'll also learn to be patient with themselves.

On behalf of Dorian, Goldstein, Wisniewski & Orchinik, P.C. on Sunday, January 27, 2019.
Choosing an executor of your will is one of the most important estate planning decisions you'll ever make. You want to be 100 percent sure that the person you choose is willing and able to carry out a variety of estate administration tasks upon your passing.
While some people have a clear idea of whom they'll choose as an executor, such as an adult child or close friend, others are unsure of what's best for them and their estate.
It's okay to have some reservations about making a final decision, as this is a big part of your estate plan.
Reliability: Your executor should be reliable and responsible, as they'll need to immediately step in upon your death. If you don't choose a responsible person, they make "flake out" when the time comes.
Good financial standing: This isn't required, but it's something you should strongly consider. A person in good financial standing is a person who is more likely to make sound decisions while following the letter of the law.
Age and health: As long as a person is 18 years of age or older, you can choose them as your executor (there are very few exclusions). However, you'll want to strongly consider both age and health when making this decision. For example, if you're 40 years old you don't want to choose an 80-year-old relative as your executor.

Retrieved Text: Back in the day when Canada’s immigration policy was reflected in the phrase, “none is too many,” thousands of Jews languished in displaced persons (DP) camps throughout Europe.
For Max Enkin, it was an intolerable situation. As a businessman living in post-war Toronto, he was determined to bring Jewish refugees to Canada.
At the time, Canada faced a shortage of labour in a variety of fields. A policy had been implemented to attract loggers to the country, and the Canadian Jewish Congress had used its influence to include Jewish displaced persons in the mix. Why not do the same for tailors, Enkin reasoned, setting in motion what would become known as the Tailor Project.
Beginning in 1948 and lasting for several years, the Tailor Project managed to bring 2,000 labourers into the country, to work in the rapidly growing needle trades. Half of them were Jews who were plucked from European DP camps.
Most settled in Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg, and even though a good number weren’t really tailors – all they had to do was sew a button to be accepted – they began new lives in their new homes.
Now, Larry Enkin, Max Enkin’s son, wants to find out what happened to those immigrant tailors.
With the assistance of Paul Klein – the founder and CEO of Impakt, an agency that helps companies benefit from social change – Enkin has begun a search to find the remaining tailors, along with their children and grandchildren. In January, he visited the Alex Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives in Montreal and identified many of

I’ve now spent nearly 2 months in Europe, touring the new single ‘Winters’ Fall’ and showcasing a lot of the new tracks which will be off the upcoming 2nd album. I wanted to try them out, see what response we got.
1/ We’ve spent more time in each place so that we could increase our publicity and presence, and develop relationships with various bookers, venues, and publicity.
2/ Instead of bringing a full band, I’ve performed the tour completely solo – with live looping, foley art, harmonized vocals, and a playful edge to the overall sound. Our fans have been able to see the songs created on the spot, as if magically appear, settling into and become immersed within the Tailor Birds sound. This has also allowed us to bring in guest artists to perform literally on the spot…..including Dutch act, the Bucket Boyz, UK based electric violinist, Roberto Savaggio, and lithuanian bubble blower, Rytis Urbakavicius, amongst others.

The Siege of Leningrad was the German siege of the city of Leningrad, from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944. In total, the siege lasted 900 days. The operation ended with the failure of Army Group North to capture the city and a Soviet victory.
After Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa, Leningrad was besieged. The city's loss would have devastated Soviet morale, and the 872-day siege came to symbolize the Soviet people's determination.

When action was taken, the city's defenses were prioritized. Hundreds of thousands of citizens, including schoolchildren, were mobilized to dig 547 km of antitank ditches and two 575 km of trenches.

What we're not covering here (but what we should think about anyway) is how we're handling issues during processing that are not directly related to bad input, like problems with sanitizing bridge IP addresses.

Background: In 2018, Sweden sent out a leaflet "If Crises or War Comes" informing the population on how to prepare for such situations, focusing on water, food, heating, and communication. I cannot find the original source, but someone knowledgeable in the matter told me that a government report claimed that the average Swede is self-sufficient for less than one week. My random sampling among friends and neighbors suggests that this number makes sense. I recently saw the BBC documentary "Death of Yugoslavia" and, comparing the self-sufficiency of the average Swede with the duration of Sarajevo's siege, I can't help wonder.
From the BBC documentary, I understood that the city had no electricity, no gas, and had all roads cut off. No electricity likely means that the water pumps were off-line. Did people take water from nearly rivers? What about in winter?
Roads cut off likely means that supermarkets were empty. How did they get food when today's cities are so reliant on transportation? I am tempted to think it is impractical to store enough food for so many people for such a long time.
No gas likely means no heating. How did people survive the winters?
Apology: I'm sorry if this question comes too early. I understand that the events in this question are very recent and many still suffer the consequences. A weird mixture of admiration, respect, sadness, and grief crosses me while typing these

Any significant change opens the door to new undesired effects and other signals that need interpretation. TOC implementations certainly involve significant changes in the mindset of managers and their subordinates. This topic seems to me a most relevant topic to discuss now, six years after the death of Dr. Goldratt, as the responsibility for the success of the change lies on us and the challenge is bigger than it can be judged from the wonderful change management process we have so carefully planned.
An unavoidable ramification of any significant change is a temporary level of confusion. There is no way that all the outcomes of the change have been properly analyzed prior to the change. While we definitely should use all our logic and intuition to look for negative branches ahead of time, we are not all that clever and we better acknowledge that fact and become ready to face the consequences. Confusion means that some people in the organization have different understanding of what to do and what to expect. Confusion also means we are unsure whether what we see is what we should see. The consequence of being confused and uncertain is making mistakes causing variable level of damage. In itself this is not a big deal as quick fixing mistakes usually reduce the damage considerably.

According to the leaked documents, the plan “could in theory, lead to a long running IP (implementation period)” and the arrangement could last for many years on a “rolling” basis with an “annual decision point” where any transition extension is reviewed, the Times reported.
The documents were drawn up by May’s principal Europe adviser, Oliver Robbins, on instructions from May’s office, according to the report.
The documents reveal that cabinet ministers have been presented with different models to work out what would happen if a trade deal to govern UK’s future relationship with the EU was not reached by the end of the transition period, the Times said.
With just over five months until Britain is scheduled to leave the EU, Brexit talks have stalled over a disagreement on the so-called Northern Irish “backstop”, an insurance policy to ensure there will be no return to a hard border on the island of Ireland if a future trading relationship is not agreed in time.
May again failed to clinch a deal at an EU summit last week and her decision to signal the possibility of extending a post-Brexit transition period, keeping Britain under EU governance with no say in it, to help end the deadlock, has angered both hardline supporters of Brexit and pro-EU lawmakers.

“The lessons [from Burkina Faso] are not for countries like Ghana and Senegal, which are becoming fairly matured in their democracies.
“The lesson is for the sit-tight presidents in Africa. They must begin to read the scripts in Burkina Faso,” he cautioned while discussing the crisis in Burkina Faso on Joy FM’s Ghana Connect programme.
Unlike in Burkina Faso where entrenched clauses and presidential terms are changed by a mere vote in Parliament, amending Ghana’s constitution is a bit onerous, Ibn Chambas noted.
He added “there is a broad consensus in Ghana on term limitations by a government” which makes it difficult for a civil disobedience triggered by an attempted change in tenure to happen in Ghana.

While the switch from carbon-heavy fossil fuels to renewable energy technologies needs to happen as fast as possible in order to cut carbon emission, there’s another tool that shouldn’t be underestimated.
There’s no shortage of reasons why rainforests should be conserved and restored in their own right. They’re home to cultures, animals and plants that can’t survive anywhere else. But rainforests can help play a big role in sequestering carbon as the world weens itself off of fossil fuels.
In an article published in Nature Climate Change earlier this week, climate experts from Rainforest Trust and the Woods Hole Research Center estimate that conserving and restoring tropical forests could cut carbon emissions by half.
It’s well known that forests are an important carbon sink, but right now, rainforest regions areas are contributing to emissions due to forest degradation and deforestation.
The article identifies three ways that trend could be turned around, and rainforests could start helping sequester carbon. First, if deforestation were to stop, so would the emissions produced by harvesting trees and slash-and-burn agriculture. Second, forests that are currently recovering from previous damage can capture carbon at a much higher rate—something to the tune of 3 gigatons of carbon per year.

It is no secret, however, that negotiations are behind schedule. As things stand, no final agreement has been reached, with EU chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, stating both sides need “much more time”. Having published ‘no-deal’ contingency advice for businesses, the UK government has now set a mid-November date for its own no-deal preparations, while stressing that such an outcome “remains unlikely”.
The planned deadline for the EU27 to agree the UK’s exit treaty has now shifted to the last scheduled EU summit of 2018 on December 13-14. However, there may still be a November summit if Prime Minister Theresa May can gather domestic support for her withdrawal proposals in time. If no agreement can be made this year, an emergency EU meeting in January is possible.

First, did you noticed that Lukas is three? Yes, three. He loved his crib, was a fabulous sleeper, and never tried to crawl out. We were in no hurry to transition because we know transitioning to the toddler bed too early can cause major sleep disruptions. How did we know Lukas was ready?

Before we moved Lukas to his toddler bed, we started talking about it daily with him. We actually started a countdown with him every night for the few days before the big transition. Doing this made sure Lukas felt as prepared as possible and not surprised by the change. At this age, he really understands so much, and we wanted to make sure that he had the opportunity to deal with this gently.

Clinton said during Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate that she would impose highly restrictive regulations on hydraulic fracturing, the oil and gas extraction method commonly known as fracking, making it practically or economically infeasible in most cases.
"By the time we get through all of my conditions, I do not think there will be many places in America where fracking will continue to take place," Clinton said at the debate.
Clinton’s energy policy could significantly limit U.S. energy supplies: fracked wells are responsible for about half of the country’s domestic oil and gas output.
Similarly hardline energy policies drew the ire of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta just years ago. Podesta criticized environmental opposition to fossil fuels in general as "completely impractical" in 2014 remarks to reporters.
Podesta has also defended fracking as "a bridge, if you will, from a world in which there’s still a need for fossil fuels to power our economy."
Though Clinton did not reject fracking outright, her prediction that it would be dramatically scaled back due to the measures she would impose is a significant departure from Podesta’s position.
That position also aligned with the Obama White House’s. When Podesta made those remarks he was serving as a senior energy advisor to the president, who has declined to crack down on fracking and attempted to take credit for the resulting oil and gas boom.

Nothing in the intervening 18 months caused Judge Walton to alter his views. EPA obviously understood the message from Judge Walton’s prior decision and other cases, such as Appalachian Power, holding that guidance which functions as regulation will be treated as such by the court. EPA thus states repeatedly in the Final Guidance that it is not binding and “does not impose any obligations on private parties.” Judge Walton was having none of it.

Most states had no real choice but to agree because eighty percent of their schools were faced with statutory sanctions and fund termination. As a result, the Secretary was effectively able to federalize two core aspects of public education over the next year. For the first time, school curriculum and the terms of teacher evaluation and retention came under the influence and control of the federal government.
This Article demonstrates that this particular exercise of conditional waiver power was both unconstitutional and beyond the scope of the Secretary’s statutory authority. First, NCLB contained no notice that states might face waiver conditions when they first agreed to participate in NCLB, much less notice of the substance of those conditions. Spending clause doctrine requires both. Second, states’ inability to say no to these conditions raises serious questions of unconstitutional coercion. Third, the Secretary lacked explicit statutory authority to impose these conditions. At best, NCLB implies authority to condition waivers, but implied conditions would be limited to the scope of NCLB itself. The waiver conditions the Secretary imposed go well beyond the scope of NCLB.

As the city noted in its complaint, Chicago receives funds under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (Byrne JAG). As Ilya Somin at the Volokh Conspiracy has detailed, to receive the cash — about $2.3 million — the city has to certify compliance with 8 U.S.C. § 1373(a), which requires that local governments do not prohibit information-sharing with ICE and the Border Patrol. The city says it currently complies with the statute: it does not collect information about immigration status, and if officials come across such information, they are not prohibited from sharing it.
Chicago argues that DOJ is imposing these requirements in the absence of statutory authority.
That’s particularly true where a statute gives rulemaking authority to an agency also in charge of administering related grants. Those were the facts in two cases that Pennhurst cited, and Pennhurst didn’t purport to overrule or question them. In the sentence that Somin is quoting, the Court dropped a footnote citing cases that demonstrated “limits on the power of Congress to impose conditions on the States pursuant to its spending power.” One of those cases was Lau v.

The court can hold a plea in abeyance in order to give the defendant a chance to comply with the conditions imposed by the court until the court either withdraws the plea to dismiss the case or the court enters a conviction and sentence.
The court can approve a diversion agreement presented by the prosecutor.
Finally the court can impose a term of probation to be served with special conditions of probation to be completed during that term of probation.
When a defendant is placed on probation, he or she will be required to report to a probation officer. As an alternative to jail, Salt Lake City Probation Services provides misdemeanor probation supervision to court-ordered clients convicted of criminal offenses in Salt Lake County.

His message to the Fleet is simple: "Our primary mission is warfighting. All our efforts to improve capabilities, develop people, and structure our organizations should be grounded in this fundamental responsibility."
Why we fight is the domain of policy makers. The ‘how’ in the equation belongs to warfighters.
The geographical position of our country—centrally located between Europe and Asia with access to the world’s dominant oceans—offers strategic advantages afforded to few other nations. In a globally connected economy this intersectional position presents the United States with significant opportunities to exchange goods widely and inexpensively. It also presents opportunities for us to influence, if not impose, conditions that are favorable to U.S. interests. To preserve the flow of goods and defend the nation requires a capable naval force.
Operating from the sea with a multi-domain force has many advantages. Forces at sea are not encumbered by occupation issues and thus can use time and maneuver as an advantage to employ a wide array of effects during periods of peace or war. For this reason navies are an integral part of national policy and power. This dual nature—part statecraft, part lethal force—is an ideal combination for preventing and winning wars. To fulfill these functions our Navy–Marine Corps team is designed to maintain forward presence and deliver decisive sea power on a global scale.

Instead of ordering that the person be confined to a jail or prison, a judge could allow the person to remain in the community under the supervision of a probation officer. A person sentenced to probation agrees to abide by certain conditions, such as agreeing to obey the criminal laws and not commit more crimes or attend substance abuse counseling. Failing to obey those conditions could result in a probation officer filing a probation violation and asking that additional penalties be imposed on the violator.
Probation is a community sentencing option a judge might impose on someone convicted of committing a violation of the criminal laws. As a general rule, probation is appropriate in cases in which the offender does not have a prior criminal record and is being sentenced for a nonviolent criminal offense where confinement to prison or to jail would not be appropriate.
If a person under probation supervision violates any of the conditions of probation, the probation officer has the ability to take the individual into custody for a probation violation. Proof of a violation of probation allows a judge the option to revoke probation and impose a different penalty, including incarceration, or continuing the person on probation with the same or additional conditions.

The global alliance covers Qantas’ and Emirates’ air passenger and cargo transport operations. The ACCC first authorised the alliance in 2013 for five years.
“The ACCC considers that the alliance is likely to continue to result in a range of public benefits,” ACCC Commissioner Roger Featherston said.
“Loyalty program members will also continue to benefit from the ability to earn and redeem points on both networks and use lounge access and other reciprocal benefits,” Mr Featherston said.
To address this concern, the ACCC proposes to impose a condition requiring the Qantas and Emirates alliance to provide the ACCC with regular reports on seats and passengers flown, fares and route profitability. The condition would also allow the ACCC, at any time, to set a minimum level of capacity on the route. For example, if these reports indicated that the alliance was limiting the number of seats on this route to raise airfares, the ACCC would require the alliance to add extra seats.
In 2013 the ACCC imposed reporting and capacity conditions on four routes between Australia and New Zealand. However, since starting direct services between Auckland and Dubai in March 2016, Emirates has withdrawn from the Sydney to Auckland route, and will withdraw from the Melbourne and Brisbane to Auckland routes in March 2018. The ACCC considers that the capacity conditions are no longer required on these routes.

The bank initiated proceedings for the repayment of the loans and Mr Carlyle counter-claimed for losses arising from the bank’s failure to advance the development funds.
It was held at first instance that oral assurances that funds for both the purchase and development of the property would be provided amounted to a legally binding unilateral obligation by the bank to advance funds.

Schedule 55 of FA 2009 allows HMRC to levy penalties of £10 per day if a self-assessment tax return has not been filed within 3 months of the filing date. Such can penalties can be issued for up to 90 days, meaning that the maximum daily penalties issued totals £900.
In order for the daily penalties to be valid the legislation requires that HMRC “decides” whether to impose the penalties and notifies the taxpayer of the decision.
The taxpayers in question argued that the SA returns and subsequent reminders issued did not satisfy the above conditions and therefore the penalties were not valid.
– Did the fact that daily penalties were automatically issued by an HMRC computer constitute a decision?
– Did the SA return and/or reminders constitute a notice of the liability to the daily penalties?
The tribunal found that it had been decided at a senior level, and as a general policy, to impose daily penalties where there’s a default, and accordingly the HMRC computers were programmed to deal with this. To do otherwise would have meant up to a million individual decisions – a completely impractical exercise. The tribunal, by the chairman’s casting vote, therefore found that there had been a HMRC decision which met the requirements of schedule 55.

Quebec Immigration Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette tabled Bill 9 Thursday, which lays down a legal framework that would allow the province to be more selective with immigrants. One goal is to have immigrants settle in regions experiencing labour shortages.
The federal government, however, has the jurisdiction to grant permanent resident status, and it would have to give Quebec more powers for the legislation to have effect.
Federal Intergovernmental Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Thursday in a statement that "more analysis on Bill 9 is needed, however we do not support the reintroduction of conditional permanent residency."
The federal Liberals abolished conditional permanent residency in 2017, which had forced some immigrants to live with their spouses or partners in Canada for two years in order to keep their permanent resident status.
Quebec Premier Francois Legault said Friday that Quebec should be able impose conditions on immigrants in order for them to be eligible for permanent resident status. "I don't know why we wouldn't be able regain the power that we used to have," he told reporters in Quebec's Beauce region.
Jolin-Barrette says the power to impose conditions on immigrants was granted to Quebec in the 1993 Canada–Quebec Accord on Immigration. He said the previous provincial government of Philippe Couillard renounced that right.
Legault said he is confident Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will come around and grant Quebec more power over immigration.

The Maltese Falcon turns 75 this year. This 1941 Warner Bros. film was (amazingly) John Huston's first directing turn; he wrote the script, too, largely from the hard-boiled dialogue in Dashiell Hammett's 1929 smash-hit novel.

Is "Let it Burn" the greatest Goat track ever made? The band thinks it's the best song they've ever written and Rocket Recordings certainly agrees. "Let it Burn" was written specifically for the climatic scene in the short movie Killing Gävle, the Guardian produced film directed by the very talented Joe Fletcher about the famous Gävle Goat in Sweden which every year local custodians try to protect a giant straw goat that is built for the town every Christmas being burnt down by mischievous pagans. Goat's music was the obvious choice to soundtrack the film – their back catalog is used throughout - but up to now it was the only place you could hear a segment of the 6 minute+ fuzz groover "Let it Burn." Now thanks to Rocket Recordings it can be heard in all its glory here on 7" vinyl. Not only that, but you get a brand new b-side, and like most recent Goat b-sides it reveals another exploratory layer to the band's ‘world music'.

Thankfully, they got out of their fruitless movie soundtrack cul-de-sac a few years ago, returning to Warp with Scintilli in 2011. Since then, they've rolled out a nice collection of quirky blips that fit snugly into the sound they've established, if perhaps a little too snugly.
The Digging Remedy follows the same format as a large chunk of Plaid's albums, in that it's got some amazing tracks — good enough to justify the legendary status that they've achieved — but enough average ones that the finished product inevitably gets pulled back to a few shades above mediocrity. Leading the pack are tracks like the hair-raising opener "Do Matter," "Yu Mountain," with its beautiful cacophony of clangs, and "CLOCK," which uses that ever-satisfying, old IDM chestnut of a bouncing ball effect to much success. Such heights are then marred, however, by some atonal, flute-like elements on "Lambswood."
One thing that Plaid have gotten consistently better at, however, is subtlety. There's nary a track on The Digging Remedy that doesn't gradually introduce elements into view, like landmarks slowly appearing on the horizon, a tack they've nailed since their return to Warp.

Like many babies, Julia Navarro’s skin looked yellow after birth. Her parents weren't worried and assumed it was normal infant jaundice. But as time went on, Julia’s behavior became concerning. She seemed listless and wasn’t reaching milestones.
Uneasy, her parents took her to the doctor where Julia underwent numerous tests. That's when the Navarros learned some upsetting news: Julia had biliary atresia, a rare liver condition that occurs in infants. The bile ducts inside and outside of the liver are scarred and blocked; the bile cannot drain into the intestine and builds up, leading to liver damage. Experts don't know what causes it.
Julia wasn’t a candidate for the Kasai procedure, which is used to treat it. This meant their then 4-month-old daughter needed a liver transplant.

I am not from a temple family and before becoming a minister I was an office worker in a bank and other companies for twenty years. During that time, I continued to listen to the Buddhist teachings in various temples and read many books on Buddhism. Why? Because I had a very precious and wonderful encounter with the Buddha when I was a university student at which time my father suddenly died of cancer.
At that time, I met an elderly lady, Tatsuko Kato, and this was my precious encounter with the Buddha. She had a brilliant light about her with a great deal of compassion and humor. In addition, I felt she had a strong spirit enabling her to withstand any severe circumstances, no matter how unfortunate. There and then, I deeply wondered why she had such a compassionate and strong spirit. Gradually, I discovered that she was a very earnest and sincere Buddhist seeker.
From her youth, she had been listening to the Buddhist teachings, especially Shinran Shonin’s message, in order to encounter true happiness in this world. I was greatly inspired by her attitude toward life, and so I also naturally started listening to the Buddhist teachings. How fortunate I was and still am!!

There is an RX580 on the board above your 970, they are normally close to a 1060.

I think you need TRS. Seems the unblanaced input is RCA and the balanced input wants to see TRS or XLR.
I'd just stick with balanced if you plan on using the 1/4" input. TS should *work*, but it would be much more subject to noise/interference/buzz.
Ok. Thanks guys. The store is 40 min away, and I didn't want to have to go back lol. But if it will make that much of a difference, then so be it. I'd rather have the quality.

Are you always measuring yourself against others and feeling that they've got an unfair edge on you?
Anybody who tells you that physical proportions don't make any difference to anything is talking nonsense. What size something (or someone) is makes a difference in all sorts of ways, in different circumstances. But, as with many other things in life, context is everything. In the unimaginably vast universe, relative differences in the size of human beings cannot be said to count for much.
Except, you will say, among the human beings themselves! Human beings sometimes act as if their relative height is something of consequence. Of course, in certain contexts, it will make a difference. A fly-weight fighter who takes on a heavy-weight will have to find a way to deal with the size difference. A taller person is going to be able to reach that high shelf when a shorter person won't make it.
But that kind of difference is really a matter of practicalities and the laws of physics. It is not a question of value. Short man complex stems from value judgments about being taller or shorter than others. Value judgments are subjective (that is, they come out of how you see the world). They are also very susceptible to social conditioning (that is, you are likely to be strongly influenced by how others see the world).

If you're not in a rush, don’t be afraid to take it easy on the roads. Not only will this make you safer, it will also make a big difference to your fuel consumption. The AA says that going 70mph rather than 80mph can use 25% less fuel, and reducing your speed further down to 60 can save a further 15%!
Having slightly flat tyres can create unwanted drag on your car that can cost you money. Check your tyre pressures to ensure that you are getting the best performance out of your car, especially when you are initially pulling away.
When it's really hot you might not want to follow this advice but, when the weather is cooler, turning your air-con off can make a huge difference to fuel consumption. Although this is not so much the case for the latest cars, many older cars will benefit a huge amount from this. Reducing your usage of air-con in start stop traffic will make the most significant difference to your fuel usage - around 5-10%!
Ensure that you do use your air con from time to time as not using it for prolonged period may cause it to break. At

Today, I measured the same load, but this time it's powered by a 1.5V (1A max) wall adapter. This time, the current draw is 450ma.
Why the difference? It's my understanding the load will draw as much current as it needs, so if it really needs 450ma, why didn't it draw that much from the battery (which I believe can output a maximum of around 2A)? Is there an error in my understanding on how current works?
It's actually better for me if the load uses less current (it's OK if the load doesn't "work" as well). I was going to switch the load from battery power to a 1.5V regulator, but there aren't a lot of 1.5V regulators that can handle 0.5A, plus 0.5A would create a lot of heat in the regulator. Anyway, can anyone shed some light on whats going on?
ETA You can use an adjustable regulator to get 1.5V e.g. LM317T can handle 1.5A. How hot it gets depends on what voltage you supply it with.

I love that over-wing condensation and vortexes. Yes the winglets on the ends of the wing make a HUGE difference in performance.
The ability of the big heavies to create such vortices is why there's a wait time after a heavy takes off or arrives before smaller planes can use the runways.
I suppose it depends on what you define as huge but I think you might be disappointed how small it actually is but then just one or two percent is significant in the very competitive airline industry.
Well yeah i guess "huge" is subjective. NASA measured a 6.5% improvement on a 707. I consider that very big for such a small part of a plane.
Well, actually it was a KC-135 which is a Boeing 717 not a 707, there are significant differences.
And the loads imposed on the KC-135's wing did some extensive structural damage. That is why you see very few retrofit kits on airliners. Those that have winglets were usually designed with them from scratch.
And the NASA 6.5% improvement was ONLY in straight and level cruise. For a typical tanker mission profile

The water bowl in the top photo has been moved around numerous times throughout the garden. Look at where it turns up in the photo below – not far from where it started actually!
One of the main design changes has been moving the concrete edging further out to widen the plant garden and the replacing of the lawned area with limestone pebbles. This has actually kept a more moist and humid environment which gives earthworms greater access and movement than then lawn appeared to. In digging up the lawn it was incredible to see just how resilient it was. The sand held no water (this was during late summer early autumn) and was very dry to at least a foot and a half which is about where the roots of the grass stopped!

A gravel walkway is cheaper than using concrete, it allows water to seep into the ground rather than sit on top of the surface, which can make concrete slippery -- especially in the winter when it gets icy -- and it doesn't stand out the way a bare concrete slab does.
Dig a trench in the yard where you're installing the walkway. The trench should be 4 inches deep.
Smooth the bottom of the trench with a rake and tamp it down to make the ground firm.
Pour 2 1/2 inches of gravel into the bottom of the trench and smooth it with a rake. Spray the gravel with water to reduce dust.
Compact the gravel with the tamp.
Place landscaping fabric into the trench. This acts as a barrier that stops weeds from growing up through the gravel.

The resources, in fact, have ranged pretty much from segmented brick edging, to wood edging to steel edging. During these “Dark Ages” for edging materials, the disadvantages of for one shown through with depressing regularity.
The segmented brick edging required a supporting framework of cement or very undisturbed compacted materials and yet for all that was porous enough to allow rhizomes to reach through the cracks on their way to diabolical destinations, such as flower gardens or into the food garden. Timber edging needed either sawing and striating the wood to allow for a bending curve to suit a small radius or else using slapped together slices of thin veneers whose ever-duringness was always in question. Indeed, wood products are unfortunately organic as they can be which indicates the need for restoration when their time is up and they break down. Steel edging, while extremely long-lasting to some degree, was a dreadful product full of hazards for the installer and is extremely costly – especially these days. But these were pretty much the choices up until latter years.
The invention and widespread acceptance of plastic edging has led to a revolution based on many factors. Perhaps most importantly, this edging material can be as obvious or as hidden as the installer/designer desires. As a “sleeper” edging, it still functions well, sunk deeply as a vertical wall prohibiting expansions of weeds and rhizomes coming out of other areas. It as well supplies the perfect

Scalloped cinder blocks, and the contemporary precast concrete paver adaptation, can reinforce a traditional theme in the garden. The decorative scallop detail is meant to be seen; take care that it's visually compatible with the landscape work.
Edging retains loose landscape materials, such as gravel and mulch, to keep them from spilling over their boundaries. You can use edging mainly for functional purposes, but some edging products combine function with a decorative element. Apply edging with visible ornamentation where it's consistent with the garden style; to reinforce the garden theme. Make sure the product is also serviceable and long-lasting -- low-quality materials detract from the effect.
Scalloped cinder blocks are a concrete masonry unit made from waste products, including cinders -- ashes. The blocks have a decorative scalloped finish on the exposed, or top side. Scalloped edging is also available in a precast concrete paver version. The edging is manufactured in different colors, typically white, gray or red. Scalloped edging is evocative of garden styles from the end of the 19th century, when craftsmanship was prized and often showcased in the garden.

To demonstrate how to adjust the settings lets use the following input panel as an example. This panel has a 1000mm (L) x 500mm (W) size with 3mm Colour Example Edging along "Length 1".
To adjust the edging behaviour for that panel you need to click the advanced button on the bottom right hand side of the input panel window.

PG&E refused to reactivate the power unless the past due was paid, and I couldn't reach my landlords all day. At 5pm after busy signals since 8:45am, I tried the operator who said their phone was off the hook, not an active conversation.

Narrower than most race skis, the Sprint is just 61mm at the waist, which instantly presents a noticeable advantage as soon as you leave the start line. With a narrower waist comes enhanced climbing prowess, more precise edging, and a noticeable reduction in mass. This adds up to a sure-footed platform that kick turns like it’s not even there. The ski is narrower at the tip and tail, which shaves every bit of unnecessary weight, but also lengthens the side-cut and further enhances the already impressive edging power on steep terrain. The tip has been reshaped to reduce friction and increase glide. The tail is a new shape from Trab: the Sprint uses a rounded tail which speeds booter transitions by making it easier to guide the tails into your ski carry loop.

Retrieved Text: Two dozen. Twenty-four. That's how many patterns I now have in my catalogue. 800 miles from Lerwick was released this weekend. This beautiful laceweight stole is a modern take on Shetland traditional lace. It combines elements of the practical hap shawl with the intricate wedding ring shawl to make an up-to-date very wearable stole. The centre lace panel (true lace, with patterning on both right-side and wrong-side rows) is started from a provisional cast-on. Once it is completed, stitches are picked up from the sides and from the provisional cast-on and the classic Old Shale border is worked in the round. Once that is completed, stitches are cast on to form the knitted-on lace edging which is attached to the live stitches around the entire work. The whole shawl is made from one continuous length of yarn (around 1500 yards) with the only "seam" being the graft of 9 stitches at the end of the lace edging on to its beginning stitches. Yes, it is possible to make a 70" by 26" stole with no monster-of-a-cast-off-row!

He wanted to find some edging for his garden that runs along the front of his house and then down the side. He wanted something to keep the grass from creeping into the garden area but it also had to be decorative too. He has 2 large dogs that play in the front yard plus he smashes into things all the time with the lawnmower so it had to be able to stand up to abuse without cracking or falling over all the time.
We shopped around the local garden centers and brought home a few different choices which he laid out in the garden and looked at for a few weeks. The style we ended up choosing was the Oldcastle Empire Edger. We liked this one because it is made of stone and have variations in the color so it blends in and looks very natural. Each piece sells for $3.24 at Lowes and looks like it is individual small stones but it is in fact 15 inches long, 3 1/2 inches wide and 4 3/4 inches high. We found it much easier to go with the longer pieces than to have placed many small individual stones. The longer, heavier design is also sturdier than individual stones and is harder

While you beautifying your yard or providing fresh vegetables. Although the beds will have a neat and clean outline when you first install them, they will eventually erode, or the grass that surrounds the beds will start to overgrow the edges. You can block this from happening by placing cement edging stones throughout the beds.
Place the cement stones on the floor around the edge of the bed where you want to install the stones. Dig a ditch in the ground between the lines. The trench should be enough to hold the stones halfway in the deep soil. Hammer a wooden stake into the ground at each end of the trench. Tie the bricklayer line between the stakes. Set the first stone in the trench, place the front edge of the stone against the edge of the trench. Place another stone in the trench next to the first stone.

Though, on the bright side, he got to use a big manly tool. The plan was for Jeff to cut a line in the cement so that when he broke the section next to it, it would break along that line. It mostly worked. Then Jeff went through with a sledge hammer and digging bar to break up the cement for removal. Jeff actually expected to get a bit further on this project yesterday, but it took so long to get the cement out of there.
This is where Jeff started this morning. Today we decided to find some help for Jeff; someone who could actually dig. We don't want to break Jeff.
Jeff and his helper, Buddy, got a lot done today. Actually, they got further than Sharon expected. They finished excavating the path area, laid down landscape mat, then put down 6 inches of gravel and used a rented plate compactor to compact it down. Then they put in snap lock edging, and filled it with an inch and half of sand.Then we started laying the bricks.

That board decision was rendered in Cellco Partnership, 365 NLRB No. 93 (2017). Fast forward to now. A federal court of appeals reviewed that NLRB order and has overturned it. In other words, the court ruled that the employer was justified in terminating the employee. At issue in the case was employee Bianca Cunningham, a known union activist. Cunningham was asked by another employee, Victory Esharetur, for advice about a workplace issue. Specifically, Esharetur had concerns about staying late with a manager in light of a disagreement she’d had with the manager earlier in the day, saying she felt threatened. Cunningham told Esharetur that if she were to feel threatened and find herself in the same situation, she would “go home.” So that is exactly what Esharetur did; she clocked out and left work without authorization.

"I just don't know how a company can do that to someone, and the money was just gone,'' she said.
For decades, Woodland has used the same landline service. She had a sweet deal, paying just under $35 per month for unlimited local and long distance calls. Then in February, her phone bill suddenly nearly quadrupled from $35 to $147. In March it reached $165.
"I called them up and I said, 'Why did my bill go so high,' and they said, 'because you're paying by the minute.'"
It turns out AT&T had switched her from the flat-rate plan to one that charges her for each minute on the phone. Even local calls came with a fee. The plan allows just 200 minutes per month, with extra charges for every minute after that.

Still, the best ideas do not necessarily come after hundreds of hours of work and the story behind the Nike swoosh proves it very well.
The well-known swoosh was created in 1971 by Carolyn Davidson, a graphic design student, for the company then known as Blue Ribbon Sports. The founder, Phil Knight, who was her accounting professor, contacted her to design a logo inspired by the Adidas brand. He wanted a logo that inspired the movement. Davidson, therefore, produced several logo proposals and Knight made his choice on the swoosh, a symbol inspired by the shape of the goddess Nike's wings.

This success was in jeopardy when, unexpectedly, two senior employees gave notice – they were ready to retire. Their notice started a surprising domino effect when management realized their other Baby Boomer staff members would do the same and people might begin to leave in droves. Since Baby Boomers made up 32% of the company, they panicked because they had no succession plan.
Solution: We conducted a needs analysis with the company and their senior employees. We created an accurate timeline for exits and implemented a transitional plan for management so the next 3 years would not be a problem. A handful of Baby Boomers expressed an interest in exiting but could not (or would not) give definite dates because they had not personally prepared for this transition. We continued to coach these individuals to help them create an individual exit plan for each of them while minimizing the impact their leaving would have on the company.

When Arias accepted a job as a sales executive last year with Intermex Wire Transfer Company, she had no idea how intrusive her employer would become. She started work in February, did well, and made $7250 a month, with commission. In April, however, her boss required her and her co-workers to download an application called Xora to their smart phones.
The phones were part of the job. They had to be carried 24/7 so that the sales force could answer calls from clients at any time. Sort of a burden, but maybe not too bad, considering the pay.
Her manager made it clear that he was using the program to continuously monitor her, during company as well as personal time.

At the time, the century old Rochester, N.Y.-based company that pioneered photocopying was starring at bankruptcy and the stock took a 15 per cent nose dive after Mulcahy was introduce as its new CEO.
“Not a big confidence boost,” she said of the stock drop during a luncheon at the Canadian Club Thursday.
Becoming CEO of Xerox, she said, was the hardest decision of her career. “I did not want to be the captain of the Titanic,” she said.
Her first move to save Xerox from extinction was to call Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. fame. She wanted him to invest in Xerox, which at the time was facing a cash flow crisis, mounting debt, irate customers and massive staff defections. The company in 2000 lost US$273 million.
Buffett invited Mulcahy to his favourite restaurant in Nebraska where he reinforced his view of never investing in technology companies.
She called this advice “sobering,” especially when Xerox’ cash reserves were at zero and the employee base was looking bail on the company.
Mulcahy had another problem she’d have to solve before implementing this customer first, technology second plan. She knew that some of the senior leaders of the firm did not have confidence in her leadership. So she quickly called a meeting of all senior Xerox leaders and said to them point blank that if any of them wanted to leave she would help. Mulcahy did this tactical move because she

For t ips on teaching this important badge, Scouting talked with Mark Pellegrino of Yardley, Pa., a CPA who’s been counseling the badge for 35 years. Here are his top tips.
Requirement 2 has the Scout prepare a budget of expected income, expenses and savings, and then track those categories over a 13-week period. Pellegrino says this requirement is essentially meaningless if the Scout doesn’t have a job and if his parents pay his way for everything. In such cases — which seem to be becoming more frequent — Pellegrino encourages the parents to temporarily stop covering certain expenses, like school lunch fees, and instead to pay the Scout for doing his chores.
“I want to make sure they have enough expenses and enough leeway and enough decision-making capability that they understand their choices are going to affect what may happen,” he says.
Pellegrino also says it’s important for Scouts to turn in their proposed budgets before they start keeping records. Years ago, one Scout didn’t do that because he didn’t understand that a budget is a planning document, not a money diary.

His statement on the South Lawn of the White House came after his education secretary, Betsy DeVos, a native of Holland, spent three days defending the proposal, most recently at a contentious Senate hearing Thursday morning.
"The Special Olympics will be funded," Trump told reporters. "I just told my people, I want to fund the Special Olympics. . . . I've been to the Special Olympics - I think it's incredible, and I just authorized a funding."
"I have overridden my people," he said.
While Trump said he was authorizing Special Olympics funding, that decision resides with Congress.
DeVos said in a statement that she welcomed the reversal and that she had fought behind the scenes to maintain the funding. An aide said she had been overruled by the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Supporters posted photos of family members' medals earned at Special Olympics. Others contrasted the money spent on the program to Trump's request for a border wall and the price of DeVos' family yacht.
The dramatic reversal on Special Olympics funding is one of the first signs that Trump is beginning to feel pressure for some of the sweeping austerity measures he's proposed, with little support from Capitol Hill.

Post subject: Unbridled's Song mare.
I have a young Unbridled's Song mare out of a stakes winning Flatter mare. She was a $170,000 yearling and is 16.1 hands. In would appreciate recommendations on stallion options in the 20,000 - 30,000 range.
Post subject: Re: Unbridled's Song mare.
I am NOT at all qualified enough to make any kind of recommendation, but I was able to generate these reports. There's always the physical attributes of each individual to take into account, as well as whether you are looking to breed to race or sell, where you want to foal, etc. etc. I'm looking forward to the input of someone who is qualified to make a recommendation!
Unbridled's Song's best offspring tended to be from four main lines: a return of Unbridled's ancestors (Fappiano, In Reality, Aspidistra), Dehere, Hold Your Peace, and Dehere. Your mare's recent family is not very strong, although some of that is the stallions they've been bred to: when your mare's 2nd dam was sent to a GOOD stallion (Flatter), she got a stakes winner.
Pedigree-wise, that makes Midnight Lute look very attractive. He already has a stakes winner out of an Unbridled's Song mare. He is a big horse and his offspring so far aren't especially early. It's not hurting him, but being that big and with your mare by a sire who throws big, it's a consideration. Another consideration is that your mare's family has had some success with Deputy Minister (Badge of Silver) and Dehere brings that in.

She brought her large print-out pictures to Newark's City Council meeting, which drew almost 50 people to raise concern Monday night about three local homeless camps that were destroyed in February.
Perry, co-founder of the Newark Homeless Outreach, described as cruel the conditions that many of the city's homeless people endure every day.
"They're afraid," she told council members. "They're really afraid of what's going on on the streets."
Perry said Newark police officers used box cutters to slash a tent where two homeless people were living in late February. The city's parks and recreation department, she said, also bulldozed two homeless camps in Newark.

Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen, speaking on ABC television, said the possibility of negative gearing being scrapped was a discussion the nation needed to have.
“There is a real housing affordability problem in Australia and we need to look at all the options on the table,” Mr Bowen said.
Treasurer Joe Hockey said it was a cheap shot to say politicians didn't want to abolish negative gearing because they owned too many investment properties.
“The main issue about negative gearing is this: if you abolish negative gearing on investment properties, there’s a strong argument that rents would increase,” Mr Hockey said on ABC television.
However, Grattan Institute chief executive John Daley said the evidence shows rents did not rise everywhere when negative gearing was abolished during 1985 – 1987.
“You look beyond Sydney and the answer is rents barely moved in Brisbane, didn’t go up very far in Melbourne, didn’t go up very far in Adelaide,” Mr Daley said.

As Labour pointed out on Twitter, William Pitt the Younger created non-dom tax status in 1799 during the Napoleonic Wars (the year income tax was introduced).
Currently, wealthy people living in the UK but "domiciled" (ie having their permanent home) elsewhere can apply for non-dom status to avoid paying UK tax on overseas earnings and capital gains. They only pay tax on "money entering Britain" or sums below £2,000 in the tax year.
According to The Independent: "For a flat annual charge of £30,000-£50,000 it is possible to opt out of tax on overseas earnings. The arrangement is used by the international super-rich and can lead to dramatically reduced tax bills for those with businesses registered in low-tax jurisdictions."
During a speech at the University of Warwick on 8 April Miliband said: "Why should people be able to enjoy all the virtues of our great country and not pay tax like everyone else?

For most plans, these amendments will be required to be made over the next year.
Effective May 1, 2018, each SIPP must include a target asset allocation that reflects the categories of investments that are already reflected on financial statements and defined in subsection 76(12) of the regulations under the Pension Benefits Act (the Regulations). Given that the list of investment categories is not broken down by the traditional groupings such as equities, bonds and cash equivalents, this means that nearly every SIPP for an Ontario-registered DB pension plan will require amendment to add target asset allocations that are compliant with the amended Regulations.
The SIPP can retain its pre-existing asset table, if a compliant table of target asset allocations is also added. If there are two asset allocation tables, the plan administrator must comply with both tables.
All Ontario-registered DB pension plans are affected. FSCO has also confirmed that defined contribution pension plans where administrators (rather than plan members) direct investments are also subject to this requirement. Defined contribution pension plans where members make investment choices are not affected.
When is the change required?

Well, that's true, but the real problem with this amendment was the underlying logic. In the all-male minds of Congress, only "widows and spinsters" needed the right to vote because married women had their husbands to represent their interests (insert eye roll here). That reasoning didn't sit well with Stanton who half-jokingly testified before Congress that these single women were "industrious, common-sense women ... who love their country (having no husband to love) better than themselves."

Under the resolution, 60 percent of Ohio voters would have to approve a proposed constitutional amendment for it to pass. Currently, any proposed constitutional amendment -- including HJR 19 itself -- needs a simple majority of “yes” votes to take effect.
It would also move up the deadline to submit the hundreds of thousands of petition signatures needed to put a proposed amendment on the ballot. That deadline is now in early July; the resolution would move it to April 1. In addition, each petition signature would only be valid for 180 days. Right now, there’s no expiration date for signatures. HJR 19 would also change the way Ohioans can force the state legislature to pass a law.

The Consumer Choice Amendment, as it is called, would allow health insurance companies to sell plans that exclude the “essential” health benefits mandated by the ACA. This would allow folks to leave things like maternity care or mental health off their plans, should they choose. These “essential” benefits are probably the primary thing running up the cost of premiums.

A recent lawsuit brought by the Department of Labor against Macy's underscores the consequences of bypassing the ERISA amendment rule.
Macy’s health plan document stated that amendments to the plan needed to be made by a written action approved by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), or an officer to whom the CEO delegated that authority.
As is not unusual, Macy’s made changes to its health benefit program administratively or through revisions to the benefit booklets at annual open enrollment. These routine changes were not formally approved via a written instrument executed by the CEO or his or her delegate.
The Department of Labor filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging that Macy’s breached its fiduciary duties by not following the terms of the plan, and that the benefit changes that had not been formally approved were not legally effective.

Regardless of who is perceived to desire such weapons, the very existence and potential use of such weapons poses a permanent and growing threat to national security.

Currently, a lack of guidance has created uncertainty surrounding medical professionals' duties to report women who have procured or sought to procure their own miscarriage. As a result, vulnerable women may be too fearful to seek medical help when needed, and clinicians are forced to adopt a "don't ask, don't tell" approach when faced with a woman they suspect may have taken illegal abortion medication. This creates dangerous barriers between a woman and those caring for her.

While they are occasionally used as a prefabricated housing option, these buildings come in many different shapes and sizes, so it’s very easy to find one that will fit the needs of any building use. Prefabricated steel buildings can be used as offices, garages, restaurants, commercial buildings, industrial complexes, storage, warehouses, and much more. Here are just a few of the ways that these buildings are so versatile.
Building a permanent structure takes a lot of work. Plans have to be drawn up, the foundation has to be laid, and then the walls go up. It takes time and can be very expensive. A prefabricated steel building, on the other hand, is much more practical. All it takes is a few minutes to create the design of the building using a computer program. This program outlines specific pre-engineered panels that can be arranged in different ways as needed. Once the design is finished (and since most of these buildings are basic rectangles, there’s really not much to the design), it’s quick and easy to put up the full structure.
Again, it costs a lot to build a permanent structure. Prefabricated steel is much cheaper to manufacture and to put up. Because it’s so easy to customize these structures, there’s no extra cost there, either.
Prefabricated steel buildings are created using a rigid-frame steel support with metal panels attached to it. This support can be modified as needed, so the building can be fairly small, such as a ten

In his words; “It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” also stating “You can definitely do it with an Act of Congress.

Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., says the number of abortions would go up under the House plan because it would pay for them, not only through the government-run public option but also through the federal subsidizing of private plans.
"[I]f [Obama] does succeed and we get these ... plans promoting abortion, then ... we will see more abortions," Smith said Sept. 10 during a Family Research Council Action webcast about the health care debate. "For a man who argues he wants to see a reduction of abortions, nothing could be further from the truth."

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday agreed to hear the money-laundering and conspiracy charges that ended the political career of former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom "The Hammer" DeLay eight years ago.
Last fall, the 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin dismissed DeLay’s conviction and three-year prison sentence, saying prosecutors used "legally insufficient evidence" at DeLay’s 2010 trial before a Travis County jury. The vote in favor of the Sugar Land Republican was 2-1, along partisan lines.
Travis County prosecutors appealed that decision. On Wednesday, the state’s highest criminal court agreed to hear the case.
Brian Wice, DeLay’s appellate lawyer, had hoped to persuade the Court of Criminal Appeals to reject the state’s appeal.

Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg said, "I continue to believe that the jury’s verdict was correct. I am pleased and confident that the court will give us fair consideration."
The long-running case dates back to a $190,000 transaction during the 2002 elections when DeLay and his allies were trying to elect a GOP majority to the Texas Legislature that, in turn, would draw congressional districts more favorable to the GOP.

Her research interests are in education, crime, law, and deviance, race, poverty, and ethnography. Dr. Dunning-Lozano's research broadly examines the micro effects of large-scale criminal justice, social, and economic policies on low-income communities. She investigates the on-the-ground effects of the growing enmeshment of punitive state practices and traditional “caring” institutions, such as public education and public assistance agencies, on the day-to-day lives of vulnerable populations. Dr. Dunning-Lozano undertook a 27 month-long ethnography of a majority Latino public Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) in Texas where she examined the ways in which discipline is accomplished in such programs, the effects of program discipline on student subjectivities, and the paradoxes of student/teacher/parent/ police relationships in a school whose primary function is to punish.
She is currently working on a mixed methods archival project that examines variations in how teachers evaluate and document student misbehavior on an array of disciplinary documents by students’ race, class, gender, and citizenship statuses, and the ramifications of these recorded assessments for students both in and beyond public school settings.

In 1908, O'Keeffe attended an exhibition of Rodin's watercolors at the 291 Gallery owned by world renowned modernist photographer, and her future husband, Alfred Stieglitz, though by all accounts, they did not meet that evening.
Discouraged with the development of her artwork, she chose not return to the Art Students League the following autumn, instead moving to Chicago where she worked as a commercial artist. For several years following, she did not paint at all, claiming that the smell of turpentine made her sick.
O'Keeffe was eventually inspired again when, having accepted a two-year position as supervisor of art in the public schools of Amarillo, Texas, she fell in love with the desert. She wrote about long walks on narrow paths in a canyon near the town where she lived. The dangerous climbs in and out of the canyon were like nothing she had known before. Many of her later paintings would be born from these experiences.

Another disaster will be using its teeth.
Bark beetles have long been a nuisance for wooded areas of the West, and scientists say climate change is making the land more susceptible to the beetles’ wrath.
Last year, outbreaks devastated nearly 50,000 acres of Treasure State forestland. Since 2000, the beetles have ravaged an area roughly the size of Utah, just in the western states.
Diana Six, a professor of forest entomology and pathology at the University of Montana, says the beetles' steady northward move in recent decades isn't normal.
"It's moving into places where it never was before, and that's all directly related to an increase in temperature,” she states. “Southern pine beetle is moving north. Larch beetle is moving. So, there's every indication that this is not just the normal kind of outbreak behavior. It's very much climate driven."
Six says bark beetles are very sensitive to the environment and that their migration northward is as reliable an indicator of climate change as any other signs or symptoms. She also notes that bark beetles are overrunning forests not just in the West, but around the world.
Six says people rely on forests, perhaps even more than they realize. Forests hold water supplies, clean the air, perform carbon sequestration and maintain biodiversity.

Season 2—which will drop all 12 episodes in the wee hours of Friday, July 17—is promising a brand-new BoJack determined to nail his role as idol Secretariat and navigate an actual adult relationship with an owl named Wanda (Lisa Kudrow). We talked to creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg about what else (Character Actress Margo Martindale) the new season might bring (Tom Jumbo-Grumbo).
BoJack was very much the focus of Season 1. Are you planning on spreading out some of the story?
That was something we discovered in Season 1, actually, was how rewarding it is to really explore these other characters. So going into Season 2, we thought, "We've earned it, let's give all the characters a real arc this season, and not just play their parts in The BoJack Horseman Story." It really opened up the world in a cool way, to say, "What is Todd thinking when BoJack's not around?"

Then once I'd tried it on for size, once I'd tested it over time in different situations and circumstances and experienced its awesome power, I noticed I have a tendency (it's a real danger in fact) to make a rule out of it, to apply it always in all situations and in all circumstances.

That's why you should be conscious of every word that you are going to utilize. Each should create an impact to your target customers.
Another component of PPC publishing to consider is the ad placement. It is always best to think of locations that will make them far more conspicuous to Internet users.

It's also very much advisable to settle for ads that are current. This is to coincide that you are going to make with your website, most especially to your landing page.

I particularly like this review because it's absolutely chock-full of examples of small structural changes which not only impact the magnitude of binding of a small molecule to a receptor protein but invert it - that is, change an agonist into an antagonist. And the receptor family in this case is GPCRs, so it's not like we're talking about a minor rash of examples in a scientifically insignificant and financially paltry domain.
Here's one of my favorite examples from the dozens showcased in the piece; in this case a set of small molecules targeting the nociceptin receptor which is being studied as a potential target in treating heart failure and depression.
At first sight it's compelling how such similar groups as a cyclooctyl, a cyclooctyl-methyl and a phenyl can lead to complete inversion of activity, from 200 nM agonism to 1.5 nM antagonism. Thinking in 3D however makes the observation a bit more comprehensible. The N-cyclooctyl on the right is going to have a very well-defined conformational preference - pointing pretty much straight in one direction. The cyclooctyl-methyl on the other hand is going to have much more conformational freedom. It's also going to occupy much more space than the phenyl group on the right.

The other day we were celebrating because his daddy has earned his Master Mechanic Certification and my parents gave Dave a card. On the card was the word, "Congratulations!" Josiah picked the card up and read the word - on his own with no help.
Okay, yes, writing about this was a moment of pure, "grandma bragging", but aside from making me feel very proud and happy with him - it caused me to think about how often do we "underestimate" children and think they are too young to try something, learn something, or do something. How often do we "dumb" things down for them? Josiah has always had a large vocabulary - filled with words with lots of letters! He not only uses these big words (leaving his teachers shocked), but he understands what they mean so he uses them correctly. This is due in part because his parents - and we - speak to him as an intelligent person. We did not use, "baby talk" with him. Plus, they and we have always read lots of books to him.

When he is asked to try and find out what happened to Mette Misvær twenty-five years earlier he uses the case to try and get back on his feet, both emotionally and financially. The local police tolerate him and there is definitely bad feeling with at least one of them.
The case is all about uncovering secrets, and there are plenty of them. Some are seedy and Varg struggles to hide his disapproval. Some are devastating and cause more suffering when he forces memories to be discussed.
I loved Varg’s character. He was a morally strong, often cynical person who wasn’t afraid to speak his mind even if it meant getting hurt. All sides of society were present, the ones who were down on their luck and wanted to stay invisible and the ones who had no regard for anybody else. And all felt very believable.
I hope the earlier books will all be translated, at the moment there are three that have been. I would like to read them in order and get to know more about Varg.

Bluebirds communicate with one another through the use of sounds and gestures. Songs are given by both sexes, but most often by the male. He uses it to announce his territory and to attract a female. When directed toward other males inside his nesting territory it becomes very aggressive, even to the point of audible bill-snapping. Another important sound for the bluebirds is for alarm or danger. This can consist of a short harsh calls or rapid chattering. At the beginning of nesting season if the male does not have a mate, he will start singing loudly from tree tops. Once he attracts a female he becomes much quieter and then resorts to using gestures. These movements are very interesting to observe, they are called wing-waves. The male will use this gesture by lifting one wing or both in a quick wave like fashion to attract the female attention. You can witness this action of the male on top of his nest box as he tries to convince the female that this is a great place to raise a family. Along with wing waving he is singing softly too. He’s hoping the female will accept his invitation and if she enters the nest box it’s a good sign she did. Also bluebirds can deviate from their normal flight pattern as a way of communication. This is done mostly by the male during territory formation and courtship. In one type of flight display he uses

Socrates speaks this line to Hippothales by way of wrapping up his argument that Hippothales is simply flattering Lysis into inaccessibility. Socrates will argue that Hippothales should seek to humble Lysis rather than inflate him. The quote is important because it both recalls the standard Socratic elenchus and shows the unusual form the elenchus tends to take in this dialogue. Socrates's argument is standard in that he has taken Hippothales's high ideals (singing dramatic songs in praise of Lysis's family) and turned them on their head. Further, Socrates does this through a method he often uses in other dialogues: he convinces Hippothales that what he thinks is benefiting him is actually "injuring" him (in this case by making Lysis too proud to accept Hippothales's advances).
All of this is classic elenchus, in a remarkably compact form. Nonetheless, the argument is unusual in its specific elements. Socrates's argument is based almost entirely not on analytic propositions but rather on wisdom about the way people tend to behave in relationships of love. Specifically, he knows that "the more vainglorious [the beloved is], the more difficult is the capture of them." Significantly, Socrates returns to the hunting/capture analogy multiple times in the dialogue, sometimes with regard to the beloved (as here), sometimes with regard to philosophical argument, and sometimes with regard to both (as in the remarkable line that "arguments, like men, are often predators").

Single words are not the end of the story. We don't usually talk in single words. We use sentences. After a few months of naming things, your child moves on to putting 2 words together.

John A. Litvaitis, professor of wildlife ecology at UNH's Department of Natural Resources, said the increase in flattened squirrels is an easy mystery to solve.
"I noticed we are having a very good hard mast year," he said, referring to a year of high seed production for oaks, hickories and other hardwood trees "Hickory nuts seem especially abundant, and these are a choice food for squirrels. Although the nuts are still maturing, squirrels often don't wait and will start clipping them from branches.
"Based on historic land uses, the largest and most productive trees are often along roadsides. As a result, squirrels are frequently crossing roads and often trying to feed on fallen nuts that are in the road."
Litvaitis said he can only guess at the reason for more dead skunks.
"Some of the fruits that skunks will take advantage of are ripening," such as blueberries and blackberries, he said. "Based on the droppings that are left by a neighborhood skunk that frequents my garage, I'd say he is into the berries.

These misalignments, also known as subluxations, can cause neurological interferences to the brainstem and spinal cord.
In addition, subluxations can often cause the body’s center of gravity to be off center, causing postural distortions that can affect the body globally and cause symptoms elsewhere.
Study’s have shown that palpating or simply “feeling” the spine are neither accurate nor valid when it comes to spinal motion.
Often times lower areas of the spine will become “locked” in a certain position. By using specific video x-ray analysis we can pinpoint the exact location of these locks and apply the proper adjustment to correct them.
This technology takes the guesswork out of evaluating the spinal motion. In addition, we utilize specific x-ray filters and techniques to decrease radiation exposure levels over 80% compared to plain film.
The best part is the patient can very clearly see when the spinal motion returns to normal. You can see these changes too! Check out these results.

I just got a copy of proposed goals from the teacher this afternoon, and we will be working on them together tomorrow morning. I got teary when I read her goals for Jake. It is so very clear that they see him, really *see* him.
Jake is considered non-verbal, but speaks on occasion. When he does it is relevant, important, clear, and often funny. He has also spoken in Spanish.
He has sworn in frustration and noticed the rainy weather by saying “agua”. He has made commentary about a bad presentation “That’s stupid.” and expressed affection by saying “love”. He will say “uh-huh” and “no” at least once a day in response to something, and we have heard him say “Mom” more often in recent months. He signs “more” by using his left hand and tapping it against his side. He does not use any other typical signs.
He will often squint or twitch his eyes closed for a yes response, and when he is happy it is very clear by his utterances.
Jake comes with a diagnosis of CP, ataxia which basically means he sometimes looks like he walks like a drunk. When he is more tired his physical disability becomes more pronounced. When he was younger much attention was focused on his physical disability rather than any behavioral or academic issues because we all so desperately wanted him to walk, which he did just after his second birthday. He walked completely independently within that next year, and

Your Volvo's heating system, whether old or new, is not just there for comfort, but for safety. The mornings get chilly for half of the year here in the Seattle area, and you probably will not be comfortable freezing your toes off---so, yes, you'd probably get it fixed. If you think that you can put off the repair, remember that defrost & defog must function correctly to be a safe driver. Your Volvo heating system is more than a luxury component. Get it fixed ASAP!
Your volvo generates a ton of heat just by running the engine, so you have a cooling system with antifreeze coolant, and a radiator to expel the heat. To warm your volvo, your heater core draws heat into the cabin of the vehicle. The hot coolant runs into the heater core and your blower pushes the radiating heat from the core through your vents.
If anything from the list of issues above is going on, then you won't get that heat moving around to where you need it and away from where you don't need it. A faulty cooling system can also compromise your engine, so you really can't hesitate to get this fixed. Call All Vovo today to get your Volvo heater repair in Seattle.

Last year I was driving somewhere and I lost my clutch pedal, it went all the way to the floor and the car died. We had it towed home and a mechanic friend fixed it for me. It's doing it again and he says it may be the fluid is low or I may need a new clutch master cylinder.
When I drive it, it does the same thing- once I get going, it drives ok for a bit till I have to downshift and put on the brake. Then the gearshift sticks and the car tries to die. I can restart it and pop the clutch to get going again for a few.
I know this is pretty vague, but I don't know exactly what my friend fixed last time, and he can't look at it until a week from now. If all I need to do is refill the brake fluid and it'll run till then, this would be awesome as I don't have money to take it in again. I'm checking the fluid levels tonight after work. Thanks!
Refilling the brake fluid likely won't help now. It has drawn air into the system. You need to stop driving it and get it repaired before someone gets hurt.

Retrieved Text: A good weight training system is a great way to build muscular strength and endurance. In addition, weight training can trigger the body’s bone building process to build bone. This is critical given that the body usually stops naturally producing bone when a person is between twenty five and thirty years old. By placing resistance on the bone by working out with free weights, the body’s natural response is to build the bones stronger preparing the body to efficiently handle the extra load.
Also, a weight training system can improve the body’s metabolism. Extra muscle takes fuel to maintain, which causes the body to burn extra calories. Having extra muscle — not necessarily bulk — is like having a built in calorie burning system. Weight training also improves everyday functionality by helping you to meet the demands of everyday life.
The two most common forms of weight training systems are free weights and machines. Free weights provide a superior workout to machines because they allow natural movement and invite stabilizing muscles to also work. That means that your workouts strengthen muscles that transfer to real life activities. With free weights, you can mimic everyday movements. We call this type of movement “functional” because it is a systematic coordination of muscle groups and brain activity. The amount of muscle fiber recruited is generally higher with free weights, as your stabilizing muscles must kick in to help the movement.
Weight machines, on the other hand move along a fixed track; they force you to have a fixed range of motion. When

Another benefit of a fixed assets program like CMI Fixed Assets (THE SYSTEM) is power. Not only is CMI Fixed Assets (THE SYSTEM) automated, it is always up to date. Tax laws have changed considerably in the last ten years, and CMI Fixed Assets (THE SYSTEM) has kept pace by updating regularly throughout each year.
For nine years Scott Elsea was a controller at a truck dealership before striking out on his own as a consultant. Today, he advises several small- to medium-sized industrial customers, setting up industry-specific programs that help them get the most out of their PC-based accounting systems.

The Speed Enforcement Camera System (Specs) has already been installed on Saintfield Road, but is not yet operational.
The main route between Belfast and south Down has been the scene of a high number of serious crashes causing severe injury or death.
Ninety-seven people have been injured on the road in 59 collisions since 2013, with two people killed and 16 seriously injured.
There have long been calls for traffic calming measures to be brought in as it features a sharp bend, with car and lorries often travelling at speeds higher than the 50mph limit.
Elected representatives have also expressed concern about increasing traffic in the area, where around 1,000 new homes are being built.
Until now it has had a fixed safety camera, located at a part of the road with a slower 40mph limit and only covering one side of the carriageway.
Specs are highly visible and mounted on over-hanging poles in pairs to measure the average speed which a vehicle travels between two points, preventing drivers merely slowing down briefly before speeding up again.
There is already one operational on the A2 between Bangor and Holywood.
The sudden and eye-catching appearance of the new cameras has led to speculation that they are a new technology which can catch drivers committing a whole range of other offences, including using mobile phones at the wheel, not wearing a seatbelt or eating and drinking while driving.

As Ben prepared for the next patient, he thought about the changes he was going to have to make to meet the October 1 deadline for meaningful use reporting. Providers who had met Stage 1 meaningful use requirements now had to meet Stage 2 requirements, plus having to use 2014-certified software, even if they had used 2011-certified software for Stage 1. The incentives would be nice, but somehow it all seemed more complex now than it had when he had opened his practice.

"No, I was not (surprised),'' Taylor said Wednesday. "How could I be surprised? I know the gameplan."
Apparently, someone forgot to fill in Jackson, who had adamantly stated on several occasions over the past two weeks that Gordon wouldn't be in on the first play because the receivers who had been here deserved that honor.
He chalked it up to 'a mistake' and 'a miscommunication' with offensive coordinator Todd Haley, and emphasized that they've worked through it and it's over.
But Gordon also admitted Wednesday he was very surprised to start after what he had been told.
"Yeah, actually I was. I was,'' he said. "Yeah, I was definitely surprised."
When did Gordon know he was going in for the first play of the 21-21 tie?
"Uh, really, like right before the offense went out on the field,'' he said.

And then right before the offense went out, they told me to go out there, I was, 'ok, all right.'"

I love rustic looking things, so I am totally in love with this pencil holder. It looks more like something you would buy on etsy than something that was made by a six year old. We also needed a pencil holder by our computer, so I knew it would get used.
My son was actually the one who sparked the idea. We were going on a nature walk and he discovered a small log. For some reason the log inspired him and he announced that he was going to take it home so that his dad could teach him how to whittle with it. Problem was that my husband had just had surgery on his wrist and was facing a long recovery. So learning how to whittle was not really going to happen any time soon. But I loved my son’s vision and wanted to help him turn it into something.

They have come to a settlement so it won't happen. You can find out more about Gretta Vosper by searching on her name or going to her website HERE.

Human beings operate on a in-group/out-group way of thinking, and when you share a common interest with someone, that can make them like you more, since you are no longer just a random person. I think that video games and watching TV are considered 1/2 hobbies C Kush, in that everyone can do them, but I also think that if people had Real Life hobbies, they would not spend nearly as much time on video games and TV.

I was never good at sports. I was a skinny, underweight, and an un-athletic kid. No one taught me anything about sports. I always doubted myself and thought of myself as uncoordinated. At school, it seemed everyone knew how to play sports. I was embarrassed the girls at my school were better at sports than me. The other boys teased me. I always wanted to try basketball since I was little, but I had so many bad memories of failing at sports, including not being able to dribble while running in middle school, and ever since then, I doubted myself. I was embarrassed. So, as a grown man, I summoned some courage, and I started to go to the basketball court when no one was around. Remember, I was

For others, they can be a useful way to get together regularly with friends, indulging in a mutually-loved pastime. However, one thing is true for all – hobbies are an excellent way to help improve mental health. Here are some fun hobbies you can learn online or in a group that have the delightful side effect of helping out your health.
While many hobbies can be turned into an extra source of income, most people find that their hobbies are worth pursuing purely for the sake of the art. This is actually a healthy mindset – in a world where many actions and decisions seem deterministic or out of our control entirely, creative hobbies are a place where we can be in control. It’s your choice what to work on, how to work on it, and how long you’d like to spend doing it each week. You can pursue your hobby by yourself or with others – the choice is entirely yours. And, similarly to how getting a par on a particularly difficult hole on the golf course can cause your body to release endorphins (the chemicals in your body linked to positive feelings and reduced stress), completing a hobby-related task simply feels good.

In addition, hobbies can be a great way to meet new people, an important benefit for working parents who may otherwise find it difficult to meet new people.
Finding a hobby may take some trial and error, as adults may find activities that once appealed to them no longer do, while other pursuits may require more time than men and women can reasonably devote. Adults looking for a hobby can consider the following strategies as they begin their pursuits.
A childhood passion may provide the perfect starting point as adults look for hobbies. For example, adults who enjoyed painting as children may find they still know their way around a canvas and palette.
Adults who want to find a hobby to foster social connections can ask friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers to recommend activities. This can help men and women make connections in their communities and/or reconnect with friends or family members with whom they have fallen out of touch.
Because there is often some trial and error in finding a rewarding hobby, it makes sense to avoid making too big a commitment right off the bat.

Well, take a deep breath and relax because we're all about making it easy for you to find the perfect engagement ring.

No one knows what's hot in the engagement world better than diamond style guru and Blue Nile chief merchandising officer, Katie Zimmerman. Here are the top five trends she sees shaping up to be favorites for 2019.
"Fancy shaped diamonds have been popular for a while because you can get a larger look for the price," Katie notes, "But the newness is how they can be mixed within a style." For example, emerald-cut baguettes that flank a round-cut center stone in a contemporary setting.
We're almost 20 years into the 21st century. Isn't it time for a truly modern engagement ring style to make its debut? The contemporary east-west setting gives a modern feel to a solitaire classic.

Whether you are looking for a more classic or modern look, yellow gold looks chic and lavish in any style. This trend could also be rising due to its popularity with many celebrities such as Meghan Markle, whose engagement ring follows two trends: yellow gold setting and three-stone diamonds.
The three-stone ring seems to be catching some attention again. Just as the name describes, it includes three stones with a prominent stone in the middle of smaller stones. The classic look is said to represent a couple’s past, present, and future. This classic style may not be a new trend emerging, but we predict that the three-stone rings in 2019 will incorporate unique shapes and use unconventional stones to give this classic look a modern twist.
Oval shaped diamonds are a great look for those looking for a statement making piece with a minimal budget. The elongated shape of an oval diamond makes the stone look larger than it actually is. When shopping for an oval diamond it is important to think about diamond symmetry. Look for bow ties- a dark shadow in the center of the stone- when shopping for an oval diamond. This shadow can affect the overall look of the stone, so you will want to find a stone with the smallest bow tie you can find.

This statement comes from a Viridis Strategy Group study, “Sustainability Goals 2.0: Envisioning the Next Horizon,” which was released on March 14, 2012. The study focuses on the external goals that companies publicly commit in their CSR/sustainability reports and websites. The study used a sample of 126 companies from the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and Newsweek’s Green Rankings (see CSRHub).
Nearly 90 percent of the companies in the study were found to have public goals. On average, one company sets nine sustainability goals, with goals for carbon reduction as the most common type. Moreover, sustainability leaders are increasingly reaching beyond departmental boundaries by setting goals for their products (R&D – 25 percent), their upstream supply chains (procurement and policy – 13 percent), and their community and philanthropic engagements. In addition, the Viridis study reveals a trend for setting more ambitious, visionary, and impact-oriented goals that are not simple reduction rates. They found that 67 percent of the companies studied have succeeded in achieving their impact reduction targets.
The trend that Virdis Strategy describes in this study frames a rise in public commitments and reporting. Both of these factors are key in understanding a company’s performance and behavior around sustainability and corporate social responsibility. The more a company makes goals, and makes them public, the more we could expect third-party data sources to reflect this change. As this trend builds, it will also affect their CSRHub rating,

Hot Shipments vs Guaranteed Shipments | What’s the Difference?
So we have talked about what it means to guarantee a shipment, but what’s the difference between making a “guarantee” on a shipment and making it a “hot shipment?” Good question, but first let’s do a little background.
It’s important to understand that a hot shipment is not a guaranteed shipment. A guaranteed shipment is a shipment that has been guaranteed to be delivered by a certain date, agreed upon by the carrier and the broker. There is an additional charge for this service and the service is listed on the freight bill of lading.
A hot shipment, on the other hand, is an internal process that is available to FreightPros customers. When a shipment is considered “hot” that means we have all eyes on the shipment from pickup to delivery. That includes daily freight tracking as well as constant communication with the freight carrier.
Of course, if a shipment is guaranteed to deliver by a certain date and the agreement is not met, you will not be responsible for the freight shipping charges. Not so with a hot shipment.
Because there are no additional charges associated with making a shipment “hot” there can be no guarantees when it comes to the delivery of the freight. For example, we can track a hot shipment daily and be in constant contact with the carrier letting them know the importance of the freight and when it is

What Is Less Than Truckload or LTL Shipping?
Less than truckload shipping is freight shipping for items that fit on a pallet. These items are too large for parcel shipping but do not take up the space of an entire trailer.
Less than truckload shipments offer better security. Putting more than one box on a pallet streamlines your shipping. This is easier to track than the boxes shipping one by one.
You can track your LTL shipment through your bill of lading number. This lets you know where your shipment is at all times.

However, it is all up to you and many of these companies will offer insurance on the shipment to assure the bike’s safety. So after finding a company to go with, consider your shipment options. Not all companies will offer the same methods, but below are some of the more popular options.
Crated shipping is the safest form of shipment available. The bike will be drained of all fluids and the battery will then be disconnected. It will be strapped to a wooden pallet and put inside of a shipping container. Enclosed shipping is also a safe yet more affordable method.

There are two important dates that exist in a letter of credit transaction: The first one is the latest date of shipment and the second one is the expiry date.
On this post, you can find explanations regarding the latest date of shipment and expiry date.
If a letter of credit requests presentation of a transport document and a latest date of shipment indicated in the credit; then the shipment must be completed on or before the latest date of shipment indicated in the credit.
If a letter of credit requests presentation of a transport document but not indicated a latest date of shipment; then the shipment and the presentation must be completed on or before the expiry date indicated in the credit.
According to the letter of credit rules, a presentation including one or more original transport documents subject to articles 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 or 25 must be made by or on behalf of the beneficiary not later than 21 calendar days after the date of shipment as described in these rules, but in any event not later than the expiry date of the credit.

Negotiating shipping contracts can feel a bit like a game of chess. You make one wrong move and the whole game is lost. One of those “wrong moves” is agreeing to shipping terms you don’t actually understand. Unfortunately, this is a rather common occurrence and one of the biggest mistakes we see on a daily basis.
Freight Prepaid and Freight Collect are two such terms that are often confused and misunderstood. Keep reading to get a better understanding of freight collect and freight prepaid, then contact the team at Amware to simplify your shipping process.
Freight Prepaid and Paid Collect: What’s the difference?
Freight prepaid and freight collect are two terms used to define who pays for a specific freight shipment, but they are often paired with another term, which defines who owns a shipment until delivery.
FOB Origin, Freight Prepaid: In this scenario, the buyer takes ownership of the shipment when it is picked up by the carrier. However, the seller maintains the responsibility for the cost and safety of the shipment.
FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid: In this scenario, the seller maintains ownership of the shipment throughout the shipping process and is responsible for the cost and safety of the shipment until delivery.
FOB Origin, Freight Collect: In this scenario, the buyer or receiver of the shipment takes ownership as soon as it is picked up by the carrier at the origin pick-up location. The buyer is also responsible for the cost and safety of the shipment until arrival.

Any additional services, such as origin or destination lift gate or residential deliveries must be declared. Special instructions must also be noted. It is highly recommended that you enter the number of pieces you are shipping under Qty, even if the shipment is palletized. This forces the carrier’s driver to count the number of items you are shipping. Palletized shipments may occasionally become reconfigured; without the piece count noted on the Bill of lading there is no proof of how many items were shipped. Item description, NMFC item number, freight class and weight will help ensure your shipment is priced correctly. Keep in mind LTL carriers weigh and inspect most shipments for accuracy. If your shipment is not described correctly, it may get corrected and additional charges will be due.
Although in most cases shipments are picked up the same day they are called in, we recommend you provide the carrier with as much notice as possible. Traffic, weather conditions, and other factors beyond our control may affect our ability to perform the pickup of your shipment within the requested timeframe. Planning ahead to give the carrier ample time to perform the pickup is very helpful.

When the winter weather conditions deteriorate, there are possibilities of shipping delays and damage to cargo. By properly preparing your shipment, understanding your freight, and using the right carrier, you can avoid all the troubles that winter can bring.
The first thing to think about when preparing your winter freight shipment is how it is affected by the cold. Food and chemicals can be damaged if they reach certain temperatures. When moving the freight long distances it can see a wide range of temperatures. If you know that freezing temperatures could damage your goods, notify us and we can plan your shipment for a heated truck.
A heated truck has a regulated temperature. The trailer is enclosed so that a windy and cold environment does not damage the freight. The trailer then has a heating unit attached to maintain an appropriate temperature. This allows us to ship through extremely cold weather without risking damage to the cargo.
If you believe that cold temperatures may not be an issue but cold winds are, consider wrapping your shipment with blankets and tarps. If the trip is not a significant distance, this could help to keep the freight warm enough until it reaches its destination.
Road closures are unpredictable and difficult to avoid. Detouring along the journey may delay each delivery, and if the detours are not easily accessible a shipment can be delayed by days.

Asked by Collider if Marvel and Disney are OK with Endgame running for as long as Titanic, the Russo brothers said Marvel/Disney are "down with what the best story is," even at three hours.
Endgame is so long because it's said to wrap up a story that started 22 movies ago. Not only that, but extra time is required for scenes to allow the film to deliver emotional resonance, they said.
"Right now, we think the movie is playing well and we've had great responses from our test audiences and we're feeling very good about where it is," they said. "We're still doing work to it. We're not done with it. Again, this is a culmination film of 22 movies, it's a lot of storytelling to work into it. Emotion is an intrinsic part of that to us. When you have to tell a really complicated story and you want strong emotional moments with the characters, it just requires a certain amount of real estate. This one, in particular, feels like three hours worth of real estate."

Blurred vision or crossed eyes are the typical symptoms of amblyopia, caused by a disturbance in the pathway of vision between the eyes and the brain.
Researchers at City University in London and McGill University in Montreal asked 80 children aged three to eight with amblyopia to wear a patch for either six or 12 hours a day.
The patch was fitted with sensors that were wired to a data logger, which recorded how long the patch was actually worn.
The test found that, on average, the six-hour group wore the patch for 4.2 hours a day, while the 12-hour group wore it for 6.2 hours.
However, the visual improvement between the two groups was the same.
Wearing the patch for less than three hours led to a much slower improvement across the two groups.
The exception were children aged under four, who corrected their sight quickly with just a few hours daily.
Patching beyond 12 weeks did not confer additional benefit.

A new study from American Cancer Society researchers found that women in particular who sat for longer than six hours a day during their leisure time — engaged in activities such as watching television, surfing the Internet and reading — had higher death rates.
And it did not matter how much daily exercise they did, the risk remained virtually unchanged.Several studies have already shown there is a link between long sitting times and obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and unhealthy diets.
But the latest study — which surveyed 123,216 people for 13 years — found a link between the amount of time people spent sitting and their death rates.It found that the more leisure time people spent sitting, the higher the risk of death, particularly for women.
Women who said they sat for more than six hours a day during their leisure hours were found to be 37 percent more likely to die during the period of the study, than those who sat for less than three hours a day.Men who sat for more than six hours were 18 percent more likely to die than those who sat for less than three.

The workflow for this kind of data meant it was usually in the lab for less than a week and the customer would not be paying for long-term storage.

Italian children are among the most dedicated in the world when it comes to homework, with teenagers knuckling down to more than eight hours a week, compared to five hours in Britain and just three hours in Finland, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
“I'd like teachers to consider the need for children and their families to rest, limiting the burden of homework during the holidays," said education minister Marco Bussetti, from Italy’s populist coalition.
Homework had a negative impact on family time, he said.
His remarks revived a long-standing debate about how much homework children should be saddled with during the holidays and whether it was appropriate for the government to intervene on the matter.
Benedetto Vertecchi, an education expert, said it was wishful thinking to believe that once relieved of homework, children would sit down to books, hobbies and family conversations.
“As soon as kids get home they turn on the television,” he told La Repubblica newspaper.
But some teachers backed the minister. Ludovico Silvestri, a head -master from Piacenza in the northern region of Emilia-Romagna, instructed his teachers last year not to give their students homework for the holidays.

They claim to give you whiter teeth in just one, two hour treatment. Normally, I use Crest 3D White Strips nightly to whiten my teeth and keep them white. I finally found a day where I sat in and blogged and was able to use the strips for two hours. Like the other white strips I use regularly, they stayed put on my teeth and I was able to drink water while wearing them. Once the two hours was up, I was very pleased with the results. Two hours may seem like a long time, but for noticeably whiter teeth, it's beyond worth it.
The pack contained four, two hour whitening strips that are meant to be used once every three months. I hope my teeth stay this white for three months, but due to the excessive amounts of coffee I drink and occasional glass of red wine, I may have to touch them up in between. I'll let you know.

Retrieved Text: The Sequence IIIF test is a stringent API SL, ILSAC GF-3 test designed to measure oil thickening and piston deposits in high temperature service, as well as provide information on valve train wear. The test is designed to emulate high-speed service under high ambient conditions.
Subject AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (ATM) to an independent API Sequence IIIF Test to determine its effectiveness in preventing deposit formation and providing wear protection in high temperature conditions.
Because AMSOIL is formulated to provide superior performance over extended drain intervals, testing was allowed to continue for 240 straight hours, three times the length of the standard Sequence IIIF test.
Testing is conducted with a 1996 model Buick 3800 Series II, water-cooled, four-cycle, V-6 engine. The test engine is an overhead valve design (OHV) with a single camshaft operating the intake and exhaust valves through pushrods and hydraulic valve lifters in a slider-follower arrangement, and it has one intake and one exhaust valve per cylinder. Induction is performed through a modified GM port fuel injection system with the air-to-fuel ratio set to 15:1.
Running unleaded gasoline, testing begins with a 10-minute initial oil leveling procedure before slowly working its way up to test speed, temperature and load conditions. Testing continues at 100 bhp, 3600 rpm and 155 degrees C oil temperature for 80 hours with oil checks performed every 10 hours. Kinematic viscosity increase and wear metals (Cu, Pb and Fe) are evaluated at every 10-hour interval.
At the end of 80 hours, all six pistons are inspected for deposits and varnish, camshaft and lifters

Retrieved Text: I left Hobart on Tuesday 3 December on the Australian Antarctic Division’s Airbus A319. It’s much easier and faster to fly than to travel by ship, but quite a different experience to the gradual approach through the sea ice. Our flight was delayed by four hours, so I could sleep longer, but I was too excited to sleep.
The weather was good all the way from Hobart to Wilkins. As we left Hobart we could see Seven Mile Beach, a few islands and the beautiful southeast Tasmanian coast.
I saw my first iceberg about three hours into the flight. It was so tiny that it was hard to tell whether it was an iceberg or a patch of cloud. Then another one appeared; a little bigger this time. Then more and more and more, bigger and bigger and bigger! I saw beautiful blue ice and I saw an iceberg flip. I hit my forehead and nose on the window glass many times.
When we reached Antarctica our pilot gave us a short flying tour over Casey station. We saw the white continent, the sea ice, ice bergs and the ocean. It was an awesome, amazing and beautiful view. It was just beautiful.
We got on the bus for our drive to Casey station. Three hours later, and after a couple of photo stops, we arrived. Our Station Leader welcomed us and gave us an induction, before we settled in to our accommodation. It was a long exciting day and I’m happy to get into bed.

Retrieved Text: There was a competition to cross the English Channel doing only the breaststroke. Just three women entered the race: a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde.
After approximately 14 hours the brunette staggered up on the shore and was declared the fastest breaststroker.
About 40 minutes later the redhead crawled up on the shore and was declared to be the second place finisher.
Nearly 48 hours after that, the blonde finally came ashore and promptly collapsed in front of the worried onlookers.
When the reporters asked why it took her so long to complete the race, she replied, "I don't want to sound like I'm a sore loser, but I think those two other girls were using their arms."
