I tend to play it pretty safe when it comes to my lip colours. Most days, I'm a pinky or mauvey neutral kind of a girl and when I want something a little more bold, I'm more likely to go for a deep red or a pretty berry shade, so I don't think that I'm necessarily the target market for a line like the essence Matt Matt Matt Vibrant Shock Lipsticks. However, as soon as I saw them at my local Shoppers Drug Mart, I picked up two of the shades because I felt like I just had to have them, and I'm so glad that I did! The two shades I decided to go with were shade 10 No To Mainstream - a really vibrant teal - and 11 Rave It Up - a deep vampy but vibrant purple. Also in this collection were two blue shades, a navy and what can only be described as a bright cornflower blue, but I decided to pass on those because, as outside my comfort zone as the two shades I picked up were, the blues were ones I would personally never reach for. These lipsticks are in the matt matt matt lipstick formula - which is swiftly becoming one of my personal favorites in the drugstore and was a huge selling point for me. With these really bold shades, I think you need something that's going to stay put and not bleed or move around too much, and I think the matt matt matt formula is perfect for that. That said, I actually found that these two shades really performed differently on the lips for me. I found that when applied to the lips, I got a more uniform coverage from No To Mainstream. It applied really creamy and smooth without me having to do too much work with it, and the formula had just the right balance of creaminess and matte finish. Rave It Up was a little bit harder to work with for me. The shade is gorgeous, but it took a little bit more building up and I noticed that the outer rim of the lips end up coming off a little bit lighter and more pink. This one will definitely require me to find a deep enough lip liner to pair with it. The formula, I found, was also a little bit thinner, with more slip on the lips, which I wasn't a huge fan of. Overall, I think that for under $5 for one of these really bold, edgy lip colours you can't go wrong with this collection from essence. If you're only going to get one shade, though, I would give a MASSIVE thumbs up to No To Mainstream. Not only is it a more unique shade in itself, but I definitely think it has the superior formula and performance. I'm not sure if these are still available in stores, but they are still available on the essence website and retail for $4.49CAD.

Behind a triple-double from Kyle Lowry, the Toronto Raptors (15-4) expanded their NBA-best record with a 124-108 win against the Atlanta Hawks (3-15) on Wednesday night. Lowry posted 21 points, 17 assists, and 12 rebounds while Jonas Valanciunas added a season-high 24 points and 13 rebounds. With the win the Raptors maintained their one-game advantage over the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference. Lowry, the NBA's assist leader, also had the Raptors' most recent triple-double as he had 25 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in a 116-112 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on March 23, 2018. The 32-year-old has 11 career triple-doubles with the Raptors (13 overall) while all other players in team history have combined for 12. The Raptors point guard left the game with 4:09 remaining due to a bloody nose as he nursed the injury with tissues in his nostrils. Pascal Siakam (22 points) and Serge Ibaka (19 points, nine rebounds) also played pivotal roles in the win. It was a more decisive victory compared to the team's narrow win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night. Danny Green, who made the game-winning shot with 0.5 seconds left against the Magic, posted just six points in Wednesday's triumph. This win comes on the heels of Kawhi Leonard, the team's leading scorer, missing another backend of back-to-back games. Toronto is 5-1 in games without Leonard this season but Raptors head coach Nick Nurse indicated that the four-time All-Star could soon play on consecutive nights. He missed all but nine games last season due to a quad injury which has led to the Raptors' cautious approach this season. Thus, the Raptors' four-game, four-city road trip concludes. Toronto will enjoy Thanksgiving on Thursday before returning to action on Friday night against the slumping Washington Wizards at the Air Canada Centre.

It's MAC Monday! For this cold January day I have chosen a wintery offering from MAC - the Let's Skate Pro Longwear Paint Pot. The MAC Paint Pots are creamy eyeshadows that apply as a cream but dry to a shadow. You can apply them with a finger but also blend them with other shadows using a brush. Let's Skate is a perfect icy shade of a pale pink with a gold shimmer running through it. I bought this last winter and it was the first Paint Pot that I ever bought. Originally I was going to get one of the neutral shades such as Bare Study or Painterly - which are popular to use as an eyeshadow base. But as soon as I saw Let's Skate it was just too pretty to resist! Originally part of the Glitter and Ice winter limited edition collection, it is now part of the permanent line. It swatches as a pale colour but on the eye it is a really beautiful shadow. It really comes to life when it catches the light - just take a look under some halogen lights to see what I mean! You can wear Let's Skate alone or under a different shadow to add some sparkle. But when you apply it - work fast! I found that this tends to dry and set quite quickly. So if you want to blend it then you have to do it quickly. I was a bit worried that the paint pot would crease and crepe on the eye although I was assured that it wouldn't. However, I do find it more prone to that than the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr cream shadows that I have, but I think its because it is a slightly drier formula. I always make sure I put on some Urban Decay Primer Potion to minimise this. The wear time is excellent and it lasts all day plus there is no fall out from the glitter either. I've owned Let's Skate for a year now and it is still going strong. Given it is a cream formula I store mine upside down as I heard this is the best way to stop it drying out. Let's skate looks great on its own with a slick of gel eyeliner and mascara. For a more dramatic look you can use MAC Satin Taupe eyeshadow in the crease as the purple tones complement the pink tones of Let's Skate really well. The MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Let's Skate (and other shades) is £15 HERE. Have you tried Let's Skate or any of the other MAC Paint Pots? Can you recommend any other shades? That is such a pretty colour!! I can see it being great for a base colour, love the post. It is gorgeous and the pictures don't show the shimmer in its full beauty. I must use it as a base more often!

One bad day on the street and Mike Suznevich concludes that there's something wrong with human kindness: Not enough of it to go around. What can I tell you? The guy drives for a living -- he drives mainly sedans-for-hire -- and he hasn't been doing this for very long. "About a month and a half," he says in a New Jersey accent that makes him sound tougher than he really is. Two incidents in one day left Mike smarting from a compound fracture of his faith in mankind. Last Wednesday morning, he stopped the car he drives for On-Time Sedan Service at the corner of Light and Pratt, near the Bell Atlantic building. His passenger was a woman who is legally blind. Visually handicapped Baltimoreans frequently use On-Time because they find the sedan service more reliable, albeit more expensive, than public transportation or cabs. After Mike stopped the car and opened the door, his passenger remained in the car to write a check to cover her fare. Then she gathered up her belongings. Apparently this took more time than a certain city traffic officer wanted to allow. As his passenger walked off, Mike turned around and the officer handed him a $32 ticket for parking in a no-stopping zone. "She [the officer] didn't warn me, didn't speak to me, didn't say a word," Mike says. "When I tried to explain how my passenger needed time getting out of the car, [the officer] didn't want to hear it. . . . But, that's not all. Let me tell you what happened the same day at the airport, in the afternoon." "It was hot, it was humid, it was like 100 degrees. The [cabbie] says, 'I don't give. . . . It's my cab stand.' I said, 'What kind of a human being are you? . . .' I say it's 50-50 out there. A 50 percent chance you'll run into someone who cares, 50 percent that you'll run into someone who doesn't." I say he's being optimistic. What do you think the standard restaurant mark-up of wine is? Two hundred percent over wholesale? Three hundred percent? Through Labor Day, Spike & Charlie's is offering bottles of wine at -- get this -- just a dollar over cost. The Cathedral Street restaurant and wine bar has come up with a "dog days" list that, management claims, doesn't contain any dogs. To make sure, I checked with two experts not easily impressed and they were easily impressed. Neither ever heard of a restaurant making such an offer. An Aujoux Beaujolais 1993 for $7 looks good, and one of my consultants likes the $14 bottle of Muller Catoir Riesling Kabinett Halbtrocken 'Mussbacher Eselshaut' 1992, which should get three stars just for its name. Nick: "Mom, do we have a lawyer?" Nick: "Because we have a phone, and the TV says if we have a phone we have a lawyer." "If you have a phone, you have a lawyer" is the time-worn advertisement for Saiontz & Kirk. Put a twist on the phrase -- "If you're a lawyer, you need a phone" -- and you have a possible title for a dispute involving two Baltimore attorneys. Ronald M. Sharrow and Daniel Cohen are fussing over a phone number. In fact, they've hired lawyers to do the fussing. Cohen and Sharrow, well-known as a pioneer in lawyer advertising, began a contractual association in 1991. Cohen had more than three decades of experience, numerous contacts and clients, and a phone number, 539-0063, of many years. The phone number was important to Cohen. A phone number is important to all lawyers. "It's your lifeline," one remarked yesterday. Sharrow's attorney, Richard Rosenthal, says Cohen agreed to relinquish his phone number at the end of this three-year association with the Sharrow law firm. But early this year, Cohen decided not to retire at the end of his stint and to return to private practice on his own. And he wanted to take his more than 30-year-old phone number with him. No way, said Sharrow. Cohen offered to buy the number back. Sharrow insisted a deal was a deal and went to court to keep Cohen from using 539-0063. Last Friday, Baltimore Circuit Judge Edward J. Angeletti granted Sharrow's request for an injunction, ordered that Cohen no longer use 539-0063 and that it be transferred to Sharrow. This week, a former federal judge, James R. Miller Jr., will serve as arbiter as the two sides hash it out. Meanwhile, if you're looking for Cohen, his number now is 547-0480. Ah, summer. Late summer. Soon we'll have more zucchini than anyone wants to be associated with. Write me at: This Just In, 501 N. Calvert St., Baltimore 21278. Or call 332-6166.

Countless interpretations of these passages have been offered, and I’m not going to pretend as though I have the definitive interpretation to it either. However, I do believe I have something worthwhile to offer, namely a view which endorses the Law of God and the teaching of His prophets, as well as a necessary change of Law (a “transfiguration” of the Law and the Prophets, so to speak) which must take place when “heaven and earth” are to pass away. But first, we must ask and attempt to answer an obvious question which likely would have crossed the minds of Jesus’ first century Jewish audience. Why would anyone in Israel think that Jesus came to abolish the Law or the Prophets? Did Jesus come to teach in opposition to “the Law” and the Prophets of God? So then, what did Jesus mean by “fulfill”? In order to answer this question, let’s take a quick tour through Matthew’s use of this very word, “fulfill,” in order to see how it is used throughout this Gospel. Notice that according to Matthew’s own consistent use of this term to “fulfill”, it always occurs alongside citations from the Old Testament Scriptures. Taking that into account, along with it’s more straight-forward literal meaning to “fill full”, one obvious interpretation of what Jesus meant was to embody what was foreshadowed by the Law and the Prophets, thereby “filling full” what was lacking in them. In “The Law” and “The Prophets” of God we find clear illustrations of God’s holiness, loyal-love, righteous indignation, mercy, goodness, long-suffering, patience, and kindness. But did any single Israelite, or even any generation of Israel collectively, ever typify that reality? Even a cursory glance through Scripture will show that the answer is clearly ‘No’. Israel was given the Law and the Prophets, but every individual Israelite and even Israel collectively was lacking something significant which needed to be filled full. I realize that many Christians don’t accept this way of viewing the Law or the Prophets. But please bear with me and hear me out. What was Israel lacking, which the Law and the Prophets could not fill full? We could also ask, what were the Law and the Prophets lacking? The answer is actually much more simple than what ordinarily meets the eye. Both the people of Israel, and the Law and the Prophets they had received were lacking the power to raise the dead and grant eternal life and immortality (I Tim 6:16; II Tim 1:10; I Cor 15:53-54; Rom 2:7). Jesus came to accomplish that, once for all time, and even for those righteous saints who had already died (Heb. 11:1-12:2). But in order to do so, the filling full of what they were lacking had to be according to the terms of God’s Law as spoken through His prophets. The Law and prophets functioned as a pedagogy of death, with limited access into the Divine presence. Even the Law itself instructed Israel about an inevitable "time of reformation" which would result in direct access to the Divine presence without fear of death (Heb. 2:14-15; 9:8-10). As long as the "first tent" (the Holy Place) was still standing, the Holy Spirit was indicating that the way into Holy places, where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, was not yet opened for the living or the dead. As I have indicated elsewhere in an academic paper, the book of Revelation teaches that after the definitive end of the old covenant administration, with the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple in 70 A.D., that access into Holy places is opened for all, and all the saints who have died in Christ ascend thrones, and they are each given authority over the nations to participate with Jesus in making all things new. Only the incarnation, death, resurrection, ascension, and vindication of the Son of God could open that way into the heavenly realities of eternal life with God (Heb 8:1-5). Not only did the temple of Jesus' Body have to be destroyed, but the Old Covenant temple and it's whole system of administration needed to be destroyed along with him in order for the New Covenant kingdom to advance throughout the world, uniting heaven and earth together in his Church and thereby colonizing earth with the life of heaven. So then, in a secondary sense, the Law and the Prophets were not only lacking the power to destroy the power of death, but they were also lacking their promised Messiah, the incarnate Son of God, who alone could accomplish that cosmic task. This sentence admits of a twofold meaning. …By saying that He has not come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill it, He says that He is going to make it complete by adding what it lacks and that He is going to observe it by doing what it contains. …He does not destroy what He has found in the Law when He supplies what it lacked; on the contrary, He strengthens it by giving it completeness. …For, when one is observing what has been added for the sake of completeness, he is all the more surely observing what has been previously established as the foundation. Accordingly, it cannot be said that Jesus came to end all usefulness of God’s Law or what his prophets taught. Indeed, the very opposite seems to be the case. Yet, as I mentioned at the beginning of this post, Jesus is not only endorsing the usefulness of God’s Law and the teaching of His prophets. He is also teaching that there will come a time when “heaven and earth" will pass away, and when that occurs there must be a necessary change of Law (a “transfiguration” of the Law and the Prophets, so to speak). In the next post I will try to bring clarity about when that time would be, and what that implies for Christians today. Here’s a teaser though: That time is not in our future. The first “Heaven and earth” already passed away.

Posted on November 28, 2018 November 29, 2018 . by Patrick Johnstone. 2 Comments. I read this headline, and my best reply is: Yep, I share your frustration. I hear the concern expressed by residents in New Westminster when they see utility costs are going up at rates much greater than inflation. However, I am challenged in trying to find an alternative approach that balances operational costs while planning for long-term sustainability of the utilities. Its not from a lack of concern or empathy for the impact of rate increases, it is more about responsible management of the budget in a way that doesn’t threaten the financial sustainability of the utilities. A 7% annual increase (adding up to a 40% increase over 5 years) sounds like a lot, and is clearly well above CPI, which is predicted to be between 2% and 2.5% for the next few years. However, the cost to operate our utilities is also increasing much faster than CPI. The best I can do here is unpack some of the details. All the numbers I use in this post are from the utilities report we received last Council meeting. You can read it all here, starting on page 19. Note the “Average Single Family Household” cost is an average, and your experience will likely be different. Many people in multi-family have their own commercial solid waste services, so pay nothing to the City for that. The sewer and water rates are flat rates to Single Family detached houses, but metered charges to multi-family dwellings. This is an estimate of the impact to the average household, not your exact bill. Still, next year this average household will likely pay on the order of $100 more for utilities, and by 2023 pay $600 more a year than they pay now – that is $50 extra a month. In all three utilities, the majority of the cost is what I slightly misleadingly labelled “Metro Charges” – the money we pay to other agencies to supply the water or to take away and responsibly manage our waste streams. Metro Vancouver provides clean, treated, and pressurized water and charges us per cubic metre delivered. Similarly, Metro Vancouver takes our waste water and sends it to the treatment plant at Annacis Island, where it is treated to be safe for disposal into the Fraser River, again charging us per cubic metre. Solid waste is slightly more complicated because organics, recyclables, and “garbage” go to three different streams, and some of those are costing us more than others. The other costs are related to how we deliver those utilities. Salaries are pretty clear – that is what we pay people to do everything from performing repairs to pipes to processing your bills. Contractors also do similar tasks, but are usually related to projects like replacing a length of watermain under a street or designing a new billing system. You may note that Solid Waste has proportionally much more salary cost because we need people to drive around in trucks and empty your bins – Solid Waste is inherently more of a “service” delivered by people than one relying on capital sitting in the ground in the form of pipes. Supplies are the paperclips, toner fluid, and rubber gloves that staff need to do the jobs above. Note this category is limited to things that are consumed, as opposed to things like trucks and new pipes that are capitalized and included with our Amortization, but let’s not dig too deeply into the capital budget right now (I’ll talk about it more later) . So utility rates are going up, because the main cost driver for the utilities are going up. What we can do about it? Inevitably, someone is going to raise the issue of salary costs – it is unavoidable when talking about government. CUPE contracts that provide decent wages and work conditions, along with decent CPI-level wage increases won through collective bargaining, seems to elicit anger in some members of the public. However, public service wages are not a significant cost driver here, because they make up less than 10% of the cost for delivering utility service in the City. If we were somehow able to cut all salaries in half (those orange areas in the chart above), your utility costs would go down less than 6%. Such a drastic move would not even offset a single year of utility increases, and we would be back to regular increases in year two, with a much less effective utility due to the lengthy labour dispute and loss of staff. Some will note that our “revenue” for utilities is much higher than our “expenses” for Utilities, and this is where we get to the other part of the equation: the capital budget. This is the money we need to re-invest into the utilities every year to keep them functioning, and to build towards sustainability. In the larger scheme, it is capital investment that explains why those Metro Vancouver rates are going up so much. Posted on November 21, 2018 . by Patrick Johnstone. 2 Comments.

This is episode 7 (?) of my hopefully-regular pre-council list of what I think are going to be the most important three items on our Council agenda on Monday* in no particular order, so you can decide if you want to tune in. We need to build a new substation in Queensborough. It has been in the long-term capital plan for the Electrical Utility for quite some time as load demand has been going up, and the fire on the Q’Bobo bridge last year that caused a protracted power outage in the neighbourhood demonstrated a surprising lack of resiliency in our grid over there. Substations are expensive, and we will need to borrow to pay for it (well, the Electrical Utility will need to borrow to pay for it, but we own the electrical utility), which will require a Bylaw and public approval. The budget process moves on, and it is time for us to talk about utility rates changes so the appropriate rate bylaws can be drafted. No surprise utility rates are going up, but once again the rates are increasing more than inflation for a variety of reasons. The water, sewer, and solid waste utilities operate somewhat separately from the City’s general revenue, and their increases are directly tied to the increasing cost of the service and the need to plan and finance infrastructure improvements. The Electrical Utility is a special case that makes us different than other cities, but it is still impacted by the increasing cost of wholesale electricity from BC Hydro. Expect a robust discussion here about efforts to keep utility rates in check. #3: Testing out the new ones! This is the first real Council Meeting for a couple of new Councillors, Chinu Das and Nadine Nakagawa. They have both been inaugurated and through a bit of orientation training, but nothing like budget deliberations to really turn the heat on them. Fortunately, they both have a tonne of experience working on boards and are pretty will versed on how Council works. I’m not expecting any strangeness, though there are still sometimes unexpected procedural hi-jinks even for us experienced types! *footnote: The funny thing about Council: it is almost impossible to predict what three items will rise to the top and get the most debate/ public feedback / media coverage. These are only my guesses, and I am only one of seven. For a full prediction of the entire Council agenda, go to the agenda! Posted on November 16, 2018 . by Patrick Johnstone. 1 Comment. I live in a new condo building that abuts right onto an older building. I’m not sure how the developer got away with building right to the property line. Needless to say, the owners of the other building were not happy with us, and really, it’s not what we envisioned either. What is the minimum distance requirement between two multi-family dwellings…if any? In there you will find a 9-page list of amendments, in case you care to see the evolution of the Bylaw over 17 years. You will also find an introductory document that lays out the format of the Bylaw, including 22 pages of definitions and the names of the 75 “districts” into which the City is divided, each with their own specific rules. Telling, but not surprising if you have ever been to a Public Hearing about a rezoning, this launches off with then 22 pages of parking requirements, before a bunch of seemingly-random but no-doubt-logical-at-the-time rules about things like garbage and recycling storage facilities and satellite dishes… alas. There is also a little bit in this section about setbacks – the required distance behind a property line where buildings can be constructed, but here it is a strange list of specific spots that were probably put in place for location-specific requirements like utility offsets or traffic sightlines. If you want to know how close you can build to your property line or how close your neighbour can build to it, you probably need to get into the specifics of the zoning district that applies. Then you need to go to the comprehensive list (7 documents, 400+ pages) of zoning districts to see what the specific rules are. All this to say, there is no single rule, but a set of rules and local exemptions apply, so everything I say here is general and the only relation it has to your specific case is that it almost certainly doesn’t apply to your specific case. Zoning is complicated. In generality, for single family homes the “side setback” is 10% of the lot width or 5 feet, whichever is less, but never less than 4 feet, although it may be possible for some non-wall to “project” into this setback in special cases. That not clear, but about the clearest case you can have. Condo buildings vary in their zoning type, depending on what type of building they are (townhouse or small apartment building or tower?). Some fit snugly in a Townhouse or Commercial District designation, others are “Comprehensive Development Districts”, which are stand-alone zoning rules developed to support a specific development at a specific site – and therefore have an address attached to them. The nearest one to where I am sitting now is the one I clicked on in the map above, which is CD-20: Comprehensive Development District (246 Sixth Street). This was put together in 2008 to permit a 16 storey residential tower with commercial “live-work units” at grade, now called 258 Sixth Street, just to complicate matters. It has no set-back requirement at grade, but setbacks above 9.14 metres (i.e. starting on the fourth floor) of 2.5m at the streetscape sides (to reduce the “mass” of the building as it appears from the street), 14.2m at the rear and 7.1m on the neighboring-building side (both to reduce the proximity to current and potential future residential buildings). Every Comprehensive Development District has its own character, as does each neighbourhood. Its shape and form of any planned building is impacted by the buildings that are adjacent to it and by the future vision of the neighbourhood based on longer-term planning guidelines like the Official Community Plan. However, all of these guidelines can be overruled by bringing a Development Plan and appropriate Zoning Amendment to Council and convincing Council there is a good reason to vary from the guidelines. Sometimes this means placing a tower towards one side of the pedestal in order to reduce the viewscape conflict with an adjacent building, sometimes it means the increasing the size of a setback in order to provide some community benefit like improved pedestrian realm or emergency vehicle access. These are the complicated maths that often require months or years of negotiation between our planning staff, the landowner, stakeholders and the community. Perhaps that is the part of the entire development-approving process that most of the public don’t understand when they see a project come to Council for a Public Hearing. They see Council approving or denying a specific building, but in actuality it is a large and complicated stack of compromises (by than landowner and the City) and potential benefits built up over those negotiations that Council eventually is asked to approve or not approve. So your building may have allowed zero setback as part of its zoning, or a zero setback may have been something the City wanted as part of the development to create a more amiable streetscape in the long term, or a zero setback may have been something the developer of your building wanted to maximize the amount of square footage they could sell. Likely at least two of these are true, or else it would not have been built like that. Posted on November 7, 2018 . by Patrick Johnstone. Leave a comment. We had a bit of a Council meeting on November 5th. The first meeting of a new term is limited to a few procedural matters that get us up and running as a Council, but there were decisions made so I may as well report on them. First we had Oaths of Office required by regulation, which all of our Council managed to get through relatively unscathed. Even the newbies. And I pronounced pecuniary correctly after 4 years of daily practice. We officially appointed Mayor Cote to the Metro Vancouver Board, as is the general practice. Municipalities like New Westminster get a single seat at the Board, and it is typically the Mayor who serves that position. We also name and Alternate to cover for the Mayor if they are not available. In New Westminster, the practice has been to allow the Alternate serve on one of the regional committees with an available spot for New Westminster. (e.g. for the last 2 years, I have been serving as Alternate and have been on the Metro Vancouver Utilities committee). We voted to appoint Councillor Trentadue to serve as Alternate. The Mayor is setting up a new Task Force to give local economic development a little more focus than it previously had. This model – a Task Force with a clear mandate and financial support to do the work needed to bring new ideas to council, supported by staff and outside experts – worked well for Public Engagement last term (although our implementation is a little slower than I might like on that), and on ongoing issues related to Affordable Housing and Transportation. Sometimes the Mayor is out of town or even (gasp!) on vacation. We always have to have a Mayor designated for some legal reasons around signing important stuff, emergency chain of command, etc. In New Westminster, we share this responsibility with each Council member “acting” two months a year in the event that His Worship is not around. As was the case in the previous term, my months are March and August. The Mayor gets to assign us to committees and Task Forces as well. This does not include the myriad of Council advisory committees (those are yet to come), but more the legislative committees and Mayors task forces. I will be continuing to serve on the Transportation Task Force and Canada Games Pool Replacement Task Force, and will be serving in a full role on the Riverfront and Public Realm Task Force (after serving as an alternate for part of the last term). My time on the Land use and Planning committee has also come to an end –as we have tried to rotate that around Council members. Zoning Amendment (1050 Boyd Street and 1005 Ewen Avenue) Bylaw No. 8033, 2018. Finally, we adopted this Bylaw given Third Reading back in July, because it took until now to get Ministry of Transportation sign-off as required. First real Council meeting will be on November 19th, and I am expecting a stuffed-full agenda!

Some will note that our “ revenue ” for utilities is much higher than our “ expenses ” for Utilities , and this is where we get to the other part of the equation : the capital budget . This is the money we need to re - invest into the utilities every year to keep them functioning , and to build towards sustainability . In the larger scheme , it is capital investment that explains why those Metro Vancouver rates are going up so much . Posted on November 21 , 2018 . by Patrick Johnstone . 2 Comments . Posted on November 18 , 2018 . by Patrick Johnstone . Leave a comment . This is episode 7 ( ? ) of my hopefully - regular pre - council list of what I think are going to be the most important three items on our Council agenda on Monday * in no particular order , so you can decide if you want to tune in . We need to build a new substation in Queensborough . It has been in the long - term capital plan for the Electrical Utility for quite some time as load demand has been going up , and the fire on the Q’Bobo bridge last year that caused a protracted power outage in the neighbourhood demonstrated a surprising lack of resiliency in our grid over there . Substations are expensive , and we will need to borrow to pay for it ( well , the Electrical Utility will need to borrow to pay for it , but we own the electrical utility ) , which will require a Bylaw and public approval . The budget process moves on , and it is time for us to talk about utility rates changes so the appropriate rate bylaws can be drafted . No surprise utility rates are going up , but once again the rates are increasing more than inflation for a variety of reasons . The water , sewer , and solid waste utilities operate somewhat separately from the City ’s general revenue , and their increases are directly tied to the increasing cost of the service and the need to plan and finance infrastructure improvements . The Electrical Utility is a special case that makes us different than other cities , but it is still impacted by the increasing cost of wholesale electricity from BC Hydro . Expect a robust discussion here about efforts to keep utility rates in check . # 3 : Testing out the new ones ! This is the first real Council Meeting for a couple of new Councillors , Chinu Das and Nadine Nakagawa . They have both been inaugurated and through a bit of orientation training , but nothing like budget deliberations to really turn the heat on them . Fortunately , they both have a tonne of experience working on boards and are pretty will versed on how Council works . I ’m not expecting any strangeness , though there are still sometimes unexpected procedural hi - jinks even for us experienced types ! * footnote : The funny thing about Council : it is almost impossible to predict what three items will rise to the top and get the most debate/ public feedback / media coverage . These are only my guesses , and I am only one of seven . For a full prediction of the entire Council agenda , go to the agenda ! Posted on November 16 , 2018 . by Patrick Johnstone . 1 Comment . I live in a new condo building that abuts right onto an older building . I ’m not sure how the developer got away with building right to the property line . Needless to say , the owners of the other building were not happy with us , and really , it ’s not what we envisioned either . What is the minimum distance requirement between two multi - family dwellings … if any ? In there you will find a 9 - page list of amendments , in case you care to see the evolution of the Bylaw over 17 years . You will also find an introductory document that lays out the format of the Bylaw , including 22 pages of definitions and the names of the 75 “ districts ” into which the City is divided , each with their own specific rules . Telling , but not surprising if you have ever been to a Public Hearing about a rezoning , this launches off with then 22 pages of parking requirements , before a bunch of seemingly - random but no - doubt - logical - at - the - time rules about things like garbage and recycling storage facilities and satellite dishes … alas . There is also a little bit in this section about setbacks – the required distance behind a property line where buildings can be constructed , but here it is a strange list of specific spots that were probably put in place for location - specific requirements like utility offsets or traffic sightlines . If you want to know how close you can build to your property line or how close your neighbour can build to it , you probably need to get into the specifics of the zoning district that applies . Then you need to go to the comprehensive list ( 7 documents , 400 + pages ) of zoning districts to see what the specific rules are . All this to say , there is no single rule , but a set of rules and local exemptions apply , so everything I say here is general and the only relation it has to your specific case is that it almost certainly does n’t apply to your specific case . Zoning is complicated . In generality , for single family homes the “ side setback ” is 10 % of the lot width or 5 feet , whichever is less , but never less than 4 feet , although it may be possible for some non - wall to “ project ” into this setback in special cases . That not clear , but about the clearest case you can have . Condo buildings vary in their zoning type , depending on what type of building they are ( townhouse or small apartment building or tower ? ) . Some fit snugly in a Townhouse or Commercial District designation , others are “ Comprehensive Development Districts ” , which are stand - alone zoning rules developed to support a specific development at a specific site – and therefore have an address attached to them . The nearest one to where I am sitting now is the one I clicked on in the map above , which is CD-20 : Comprehensive Development District ( 246 Sixth Street ) . This was put together in 2008 to permit a 16 storey residential tower with commercial “ live - work units ” at grade , now called 258 Sixth Street , just to complicate matters . It has no set - back requirement at grade , but setbacks above 9.14 metres ( i.e. starting on the fourth floor ) of 2.5 m at the streetscape sides ( to reduce the “ mass ” of the building as it appears from the street ) , 14.2 m at the rear and 7.1 m on the neighboring - building side ( both to reduce the proximity to current and potential future residential buildings ) . Every Comprehensive Development District has its own character , as does each neighbourhood . Its shape and form of any planned building is impacted by the buildings that are adjacent to it and by the future vision of the neighbourhood based on longer - term planning guidelines like the Official Community Plan . However , all of these guidelines can be overruled by bringing a Development Plan and appropriate Zoning Amendment to Council and convincing Council there is a good reason to vary from the guidelines . Sometimes this means placing a tower towards one side of the pedestal in order to reduce the viewscape conflict with an adjacent building , sometimes it means the increasing the size of a setback in order to provide some community benefit like improved pedestrian realm or emergency vehicle access . These are the complicated maths that often require months or years of negotiation between our planning staff , the landowner , stakeholders and the community . Perhaps that is the part of the entire development - approving process that most of the public do n’t understand when they see a project come to Council for a Public Hearing . They see Council approving or denying a specific building , but in actuality it is a large and complicated stack of compromises ( by than landowner and the City ) and potential benefits built up over those negotiations that Council eventually is asked to approve or not approve . So your building may have allowed zero setback as part of its zoning , or a zero setback may have been something the City wanted as part of the development to create a more amiable streetscape in the long term , or a zero setback may have been something the developer of your building wanted to maximize the amount of square footage they could sell . Likely at least two of these are true , or else it would not have been built like that . Posted on November 7 , 2018 . by Patrick Johnstone . Leave a comment . We had a bit of a Council meeting on November 5th . The first meeting of a new term is limited to a few procedural matters that get us up and running as a Council , but there were decisions made so I may as well report on them . First we had Oaths of Office required by regulation , which all of our Council managed to get through relatively unscathed . Even the newbies . And I pronounced pecuniary correctly after 4 years of daily practice . We officially appointed Mayor Cote to the Metro Vancouver Board , as is the general practice . Municipalities like New Westminster get a single seat at the Board , and it is typically the Mayor who serves that position . We also name and Alternate to cover for the Mayor if they are not available . In New Westminster , the practice has been to allow the Alternate serve on one of the regional committees with an available spot for New Westminster . ( e.g. for the last 2 years , I have been serving as Alternate and have been on the Metro Vancouver Utilities committee ) . We voted to appoint Councillor Trentadue to serve as Alternate . The Mayor is setting up a new Task Force to give local economic development a little more focus than it previously had . This model – a Task Force with a clear mandate and financial support to do the work needed to bring new ideas to council , supported by staff and outside experts – worked well for Public Engagement last term ( although our implementation is a little slower than I might like on that ) , and on ongoing issues related to Affordable Housing and Transportation . Sometimes the Mayor is out of town or even ( gasp ! ) on vacation . We always have to have a Mayor designated for some legal reasons around signing important stuff , emergency chain of command , etc . In New Westminster , we share this responsibility with each Council member “ acting ” two months a year in the event that His Worship is not around . As was the case in the previous term , my months are March and August . The Mayor gets to assign us to committees and Task Forces as well . This does not include the myriad of Council advisory committees ( those are yet to come ) , but more the legislative committees and Mayors task forces . I will be continuing to serve on the Transportation Task Force and Canada Games Pool Replacement Task Force , and will be serving in a full role on the Riverfront and Public Realm Task Force ( after serving as an alternate for part of the last term ) . My time on the Land use and Planning committee has also come to an end – as we have tried to rotate that around Council members . Zoning Amendment ( 1050 Boyd Street and 1005 Ewen Avenue ) Bylaw No . 8033 , 2018 . Finally , we adopted this Bylaw given Third Reading back in July , because it took until now to get Ministry of Transportation sign - off as required . First real Council meeting will be on November 19th , and I am expecting a stuffed - full agenda !

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure to cells and tissues can mimic the biochemical events leading to septic shock. Previous data demonstrated a massive upregulation of prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 synthase (PGHS-2), but not NO synthase-2 (NOS-2) in bovine smooth muscle cells (SMC) between 2 and 12 h of LPS exposure. This caused an abundant release of prostacyclin (PGI2) by constitutive PGI2-synthase as a counterregulation to a dysfunctional endothelium. We here report that human as well as bovine SMC mainly respond by the induction of PGHS-2 and the subsequent release of PGI2, whereas rat SMC exhibited a distinct induction of NOS-2 and released significantly higher amounts of *NO compared with cattle and human. The induction of either PGHS-2 or NOS-2 in the three different species investigated seems to be mutually exclusive in the time window of 2-24 h. This finding should be considered in the setup of experimental models for the investigation of septic shock.

We will be increasing our parking charges for the public from 11th August 2017. A pharmacist at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust has swapped her days of dealing with medication for the blank canvas of retired life as she became the owner of an art gallery. In a first for the North West region, junior doctors starting their training at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust (WWL) have taken part an innovative initiative aimed to make them more confident at prescribing medication to patients. The Foundation Year 1 trainees, who began their first training rotation officially on 2 August, volunteered in their own time to take part in the ePIFFany programme, which stands for Effective Prescribing Insight for the Future. The aim of the pioneering approach to training is to improve the skills, knowledge, performance, competence and safety of junior doctors to avoid prescribing errors. Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust’s Ophthalmology department has performed better in cataract surgery than any other Trust in Greater Manchester. For the first time, the department’s excellent outcomes were added to the National Ophthalmology Database (NOD). It was established in 2010 by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth) to provide a powerful quality improvement tool to help draw the attention of Trusts to possible elements of cataract care which may require development and to benchmark standards of care. ON the 50th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality, Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust (WWL) is proud to be sponsoring and taking part in the second Wigan Pride on Saturday 12 August 2017. The Trust also showed its support for the borough’s LGBTQ+ community by raising the rainbow flag and cutting a celebration cake outside the main entrance to Wigan Infirmary. A HEALTHCARE assistant at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust (WWL) put his lifesaving training to good use after saving a drowning man while on holiday. David Quinn, 33, is now urging the people of Wigan borough to learn basic First Aid skills as one day they could make the difference between life and death. David was on holiday in the Egyptian resort of Hurghada last month (June) when he heard a woman scream, and spotted a man in difficulty in the water. A GENEROUS businessman has brought a breath of fresh air to patients at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust’s (WWL) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)/Asthma support group. Shane Sutton, who owns Team Goliath Boxing Gym, on Billinge Road, Pemberton, wanted to support the group because his grandfather William Gaskell, 84, suffers with respiratory problems and his mother Sharon is WWL’s COPD Assistant Practitioner. A Leigh mum has told of her “amazing” home birth experience following two traumatic previous pregnancies. Kate Roach has praised community midwives from Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust (WWL) and is working with them to help promote the benefits of homebirths. THE man who feeds Wiganers from cradle to grave is hanging up his chef’s whites on 30 June as he retires from Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust. Paul Riley, 58, joined the Trust in 1991 and has worked his way up from catering supervisor to become Hotel Services Manager.

The Arab armies invaded Egypt in 640 AD and Babylon fell in April 641, after a siege of some seven months. Alexandria was taken in September 641, and all Egypt was surrendered by the Byzantines in November of that year. The Arab commander, Amr ibn al-As, wanted to establish his capital city in Alexandria, but permission to do so was refused by the Caliph, Umar. The reason quoted for his refusal is that he did not want a body of water to separate the capital from Arabia, so it had to be built on the east bank of the Nile; however, an attempt to keep control of the Egyptian forces and their leader may have been his real motive. The new capital city (called Fustat, possibly from the Arabic for tent, or camp) was thus established just to the north of Babylon. The new town was laid out as a series of tribal areas, or khittas, around a central area with the communal mosque, administrative buildings and residences for the highest status tribal groups. The majority of tribes who settled here were of Yemeni origin, with the remainder of the Arabs from the western Arabian peninsula; a few Jews and some Roman mercenaries were also present. At this stage the population must have consisted almost entirely of soldiers and their households, and Fustat exhibited the typical plan of a garrison town. Originally founded in 642 AD, the Mosque of Amr still stands but has been continually rebuilt: nothing remains of the earliest structure. Large piles of stone- and woodwork have been dumped across the ruins of the town and these almost certainly came from older versions of the Mosque and include many reused Roman column capitals. The town grew rapidly in size, expanding out into the desert and up onto higher ground. It became an important commercial center, and excavations on the site have found artifacts from places as far apart as China, India, Vietnam, Iraq, Italy and Spain. The Museum of Islamic Art contains many objects from Fustat. The city did not retain its status as capital of Egypt; other administrative districts were planned and built to the north of Fustat: the Abbasid al-Askar, Tulunid al-Qata'i and the great Fatimid town al-Qahira, which gives modern Cairo its name. However, Fustat remained an important trading post for the eastern Mediterranean world. In 1168 the town was completely burned to prevent its use by Crusaders, but it recovered its prosperity and population fairlyquickly. Fustat eventually declined in importance as trade-routes between the Far East and Europe shifted northwards, depriving the town of much of its income. It is unlikely, though, that it was ever completely abandoned, and until recently a potters' quarter existed upon the site. Today, little remains of the rich city that once flourished on the site. The area behind the Mosque of Amr has become a convenient place for Cairo citizens to dump their rubbish and is a desolate and unhygienic place. Further east, around the ticket office, house walls still stand and streets can be traced.

According to its president, Nintendo is not planning any major changes to the Switch's price or a successor to the current model. The idea, of course, was to show off a variety of indie games that were releasing on the Switch, not only as a way to get consumers excited for the platform, but also to show developers that the Switch was an indie friendly platform. "Annual unit and dollar sales of Nintendo Switch are the highest annual total for any hardware platform since the PlayStation 4 in 2015", noted Piscatella. Nintendo Switch sales have surpassed 10.5 million units in the USA and the platform's aligned launch sales are higher than those of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In January 2017, Nintendo revealed Nintendo Switch would sell for $300 United States dollars, and while holiday price drops and cost-effective bundles have occurred since then, it's standard retail price remains $300 USD. Brawl by over 70 per cent. Nintendo launched the platform back in March of 2017. Wargroove is coming to the PlayStation 4, but we're still not sure when. Exceeded every expectation I had, best-selling exclusive launch month in history. Wargroove is a turn-based strategy and features a campaign editor for players to shape their own scenarios for other Nintendo Switch players. "Ultimate" is also the fastest selling Switch title to date. For more information about all the great indie games on or coming to Nintendo Switch, visit https://www.nintendo.com/games/nintendo-switch-nindies-hits. For now, Nintendo is content to keep the price as is. So it's all looking fine and dandy for the Nintendo Switch in the United States, which is just as well given the US' games hardware market is worth some $5.1bn. Now that core Nintendo fans are making Switch a huge success, that means Nintendo can safely invest in games for them, too.

Although none of NVIDIA’s partners will be selling direct copies of the NVIDIA reference design, NVIDIA did send over one of reference cards to serve as a baseline comparison (as it turns out, due to a bug you can’t underclock a GTX 650 Ti right now). Since most partner designs will closely follow NVIDIA’s reference design this actually works out for the best anyhow, as it offers a good insight into the kind of performance and design baseline we should see. For the GeForce 600 series NVIDIA’s reference designs have been extremely solid (overclocking withstanding) and the reference GTX 650 Ti continues that tradition. The PCB itself is actually lifted from the GTX 650, which despite the difference in GPUs is pin-compatible with the GTX 650 Ti and its 128bit memory bus. This puts the length of the card at 5.75” – about as short as a PCIe x16 card can be – in a full-profile form factor. Meanwhile though taking inventory of every last electrical component isn’t practical, as near as we can tell the PCB and its components are completely identical to the reference GTX 650, which means partners are going to be able to easily drop the GTX 650 Ti into their existing GTX 650 designs so long as their cooling is adequate. Speaking of cooling, the cooler on the reference GTX 650 Ti is a small but effective open air double-wide cooler. NVIDIA’s using a low-profile aluminum heatsink that covers roughly half the card, topped with an 80mm fan. This is the cooler style that most partners will mimic, as the 110W TDP of the GTX 650 Ti does not require a particularly large cooler; though on that note at 110W passive cooling is unlikely. As is common with open air coolers, the heatsink itself doesn’t make contact with the on-board RAM, so RAM cooling is left to airflow coming off of the fan. NVIDIA’s RAM of choice for the GTX 650 Ti is their traditional favorite, Hynix 2Gb 6GHz GDDR5. The use of 6GHz RAM, which will be common across this family, means that the GTX 650 Ti will have some memory overclocking headroom right out of the box, memory bus willing. NVIDIA uses 4 pieces of it in a 4x32bit configuration, with 4 more pads on the back of the card for another 4 pieces for 2GB cards. Moving on, along with losing GPU boost capabilities the GTX 650 family also gives up SLI capabilities, so unlike the GTX 550 Ti you won’t find a SLI bridge connector here. What you will find is 1 6pin PCIe power socket on the rear of the card for providing the extra power the GTX 650 needs. Meanwhile display connectivity is provided by 1 DL-DVI-I port, 1 DL-DVI-D port, and a mini-HDMI port. Since all of the Kepler GPUs support 4 displays the GTX 650 Ti can drive up to 3 displays via these connectors, and if a partner equips a card with a DisplayPort connector instead it should be possible to drive the full 4 displays off of a single GTX 650 Ti.

Back in blighty now, and Got A Ukulele can return to normal service. Time to share with you my initial review of my purchase - a traditional Canarian Timple, handcrafted in Teguise on the island of Lanzarote by luthier Antonio Lemez Hernández. First a little bit of background to the Timple - this is the traditional folk instrument of the Canary Islands, a Spanish outpost off the western coast of North Africa. Whilst the Timple is played on most Canarian islands, it is considered to have originated in Lanzarote, and in particular in the old capital of the island, the pretty town of Teguise. The instrument is very similar to a ukulele and is a probably candidate to being a pre-cursor to it. I say 'probable', as the origins of the Timple on the island are somewhat unclear - being a Spanish dependency, it is likely that the stringed instruments of the mainland were introduced to the islanders. These instruments predated the modern spanish guitar and and its possible that the Spanish themselves brought something similar to Lanzarote, where it developed into the Timple. There are other possibilities though. It is considered that the strung instrument was introduced to Spain by the Moors of North Africa in their long occupation of the south, and as such they should be credited with the introduction to the Mainland. We should also bear in mind that in the 16th Century, pre the Spanish, the first occupants of the islands were from North African or Moorish descent - and as such it may well be the case that they introduced the stringed instrument to the islands directly. Either way, the instrument has it's roots on Lanzarote and has done for nearly 300 years. The instrument is similar to many other small stringed instruments such as the ukulele, the cuatro, the machete and the tiple. You may have seen my earlier post regarding my visit to the Casa-Museo Del Timple on the island which charts it's history and its wider family, showing of examples of all sorts of similar instruments. The Timple is strung with 5 strings, and tuned gcEAD. In other words, it shares the GCEA of the soprano ukulele on the last four strings (the four strings from the ceiling downwards), but adds another new first string tuned to D. You will note that I typed the G and the C above in lower case, and that is because they are both tuned re-entrant. The standard tuning for ukulele has the G string higher than the next C, but on the Timple both the G and the C are higher. This makes for an even brighter shriller sound than the soprano ukulele. As such, the string thicknesses are a little different too. As the G and the C strings are re-entrant, it is the E string which is the thickest (unlike the ukulele in which the C is thickest). Other differences include the naturally wider neck to accommodate the fifth string, a narrower longer body and strange neck design with far fewer frets - the neck is actually as long as a concert but this one only comes with eight frets. Turning the instrument over however and we see the real difference - the hump! The back on the Timple is hugely rounded to create more sound out of what is a smaller top on the body (and it certainly works). In the Canaries the Timple has the nickname "Camellito Sonoro" meaning the Sonorous Camel on account of the hump!. So on to this instrument in particular - having visited the museum we took directions to the workshop in which Antonio crafts his instruments - right in the centre of Teguise itself. They are all handmade from solid woods and the smell of his workshop has come back with me to England via this Timple - the smell from the sound hole is glorious! Antonio is in his 60's and has been making these instruments all his life. This particular model is a fairly plain one. The top is solid spruce with a very thin matte finish (very thin, I managed to ding it already, sadly - something that is bound to happen with soft spruce), and the back, sides are (I believe) Mahogany or something similar. The sound hole has some simple inlay and the top is actually in two pieces, nicely book matched. The sides are nice pieces of wood two in a lighter coloured wood than the back with some nice grain patterns. As you will see, the wood used for the top actually extends up and on to the end of the neck as an extension which I think looks nicely different. Over to the the humped back and this is darker wood, again nicely matched, with a lighter inlay joining the two halves. Inside the instrument we see the makers label and what looks to me to be similar kerfling and bracing as that found in a ukulele. The neck itself is wide and made of two pieces. The main part of the neck and the heel are a single piece of wood, but the large traditional shaped headstock is quite a piece of wood and as such I can see how it would need to be carved separately - the join employs a joint type I have not seen before which adds to its "different" air. The short fingerboard is in a darker wood and mounted on to the neck, and wood binding finishes the edges. The frets look like nickel and are nicely set. The nut appears to be bone and is cut well. At the other end of the strings, the bridge is traditionally wide, and is a tie bar design. Interestingly there is no bridge saddle and the wood of the bridge itself serves this purpose. The result of that and the nicely cut nut means that the action is superbly low and easy to play. Back up to the headstock and this is large piece of wood with a facing cap of the same wood as found on the fingerboard. The tuners are friction pegs, which sadly are not of the best quality and I will be likely swapping them out for something smoother (I like friction pegs when they are good, but am fussy). All in all, the instrument is clearly very well made by a craftsman. Whilst not loaded up with bling, he does make higher priced instruments that fit that bill if you want them. It's nicely balanced and light to hold too. So how does it sound? High! It's got such a bright tone to it on account of both that extra high D string, and the re-entrant G and C strings - if anything it makes a soprano ukulele sound like a bass! The sound produced from such a small little thing is extremely loud, helped along by that humped back, and it has some great sustain provided by the thin solid woods used. It's different to play on account of that extra D string, but not really complicated, involving only the additional finger on some of the standard ukulele chords. For example the G chord is exactly the same as the uke, but is played on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings. The C however is played the same way but requires a finger on the second fret of the 1st D string. Strummed or plucked I like the sound, and whilst I am in no way proficient with traditional Canarian song, am having fun with it and will try to get some YouTube sound samples up soon. I got a timple a couple of years back on Tenereife - had to go to one of the townships to find a shop that sold them. Lovely little instruments. Now a question, do you know anywhere that sells cases for them? Mine is getting dustier & dustier by the minute & Googling doesn't seem to provide any answers. I'm in the UK. Thank you - and thank you also for an interesting & detailed write up on the instrument. I bin playing guitars, banjos, mandolins etc since 1965. I picked up one of these instruments 7 years ago. Hardly played anything else since. Hi, where did you buy the Timple? At the museum shop.... Prob not.... Or in Teguise somewhere? No - strangely the museum don't sell them! If you walk out the front of museum and head straight over square, church on your left. You will reach a T Junction. Turn right and you will reach another mini square, and it was in one of craft shops on left. They get them direct from the luthier. Well done. Directions are spot on!. Antonio Lemez Hernández house is just off the main square in Teguise - and it is painted in a blue wash. You can't miss it amongst all the white houses. If you look at the museum front, it's the street to the left. several years ago I was there for one of my 10 day visits and Antonio made my timple for me that week. Mine has 12 frets running right up to the body, beautiful marquetry and the usual 'pearl' effect double scratch plate. Could I ask how much the timple was. The prices seemed to vary wildly between different shops in Regular when I was there a couple of weeks ago. I only just saw this website and so didn't find the luthier's shop when I was there. Next time!

Erroneous beliefs or misinformation about a brand can be a nightmare, the widespread nature of these belief makes it is a source of concern, such that efforts to redeem the brands reputation afterwards becomes more like an uphill task. According to the new thesaurus dictionary, erroneous belief is a misconception resulting from incorrect information. Misinformation often originate from rumors, spread through word of mouth and actions, and as the populace became literate, the means to spread information diversified. People who do not possess direct knowledge or experience often rely on the media ; television, the press and more recently, the internet which through technological innovations has increased the speed by which news could travel, this has influenced to a large extent the ways in which information is communicated and misinformation is spread. The information a populace receives helps them to form their opinions and beliefs, particularly if major streams of beliefs are in opposition to established facts. If the truth is not established overtime, misinformed individuals could make decisions for themselves and their families that are not in their best interest and can have serious consequences. Erroneous news is a dire threat to brands worldwide, especially when it gets picked by the media and goes viral. Thus, brands become vulnerable to the effects of such news, often resulting in loss of customers, potential customers and revenue, making it difficult for a brand to experience customer loyalty and retention. A brand is a unique name, term, words, sign, symbol, design, a combination of these, or any other feature that identifies products and services of a company and differentiates them from the competition (American Marketing Association 2016). A brand is an intangible, but also a critical component of what a company represents (Davis and Bojalil Re?bora, 2002, 3). Brands help companies to create a connection with customers on an emotional level. For this reason, many companies try to build unique and favorable strong brands (Kotler and Keller, 2012, 32), such that the experience a consumer obtains from a brand determines its success. A brand is successful if the consumers perceive it as better than the competition, and fails if they do not (Weilbacher 1999, 22). In the era of social media, this is becoming even more apparent, when communication is becoming more centered on the consumer. As a result of intense competition, companies all over the world are continually looking for new ways to communicate with their customers effectively. For that social media has become one of the most important media with 67 percent of all internet users using social media (Pew Research Center, 2012). Using social media platforms for marketing purposes is a new and rapidly growing way to develop positive relationships with customers (Erdogmas & Cicek, 2012). A study by Madden and Zickuhr (2011) reported that 65% of U.S. adult Internet users now use social networking sites, more than double the percentage reported in 2008 (29%) and that 43% of online adults use social networking sites daily. A more recent report from statistica (2018) reported that as of 2017, daily social media usage of global internet users amounted to 135 minutes per day, up from 126 minutes in the previous year implying global social networking audience’s surpassed 2 billion users in 2016. The power of social networking according to statistica (2018) is such that the number of worldwide users is expected to reach some 3.02 billion monthly active social media users by 2021, around a third of Earth’s entire population. In Nigeria, several studies suggest that when Nigerians go online (predominantly with their mobile phones) they spend much of their time on social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and so on). Sending and reading e-mails, reading news and posting research queries have become less important activities for Nigerians. To confirm this, the minister of communications, Mr Adebayo Shittu in an interview he granted punch newspaper, November 17, 2017,(Everest 2017), stated that about 75% of Nigeria’s population that use the internet are on the social media, and the number keeps growing both on social networking sites and blogging sites. This unarguably points to the fact that social media, amongst many other strategies, is a perfect place to target customers. It is therefore important to focus on the platform where your customers usually spend more time on a daily basis. Social media refers to the means of interactions among people through which information and ideas are created, shared and exchanged over virtual communities and networks. (Kaplan ; Haenlein, 2012) defined social media as a group of Internet-based applications built on the ideological and technological foundations of Web and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content. Social media allow dynamic interaction in real time, disrupting the traditional balance of power between the firm and the consumers. The concept of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), where the firm has significant information about its clients, is challenged, because consumers receive access to big amounts of information through the social media (Malthouse, Haenlein, Skiera, Wege, ; Zhang, 2013). Social media can take many forms, including social networks (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, snapchat and so on),internet forums, weblogs, social blogs, microblogging, wikis, podcasts, pictures, videos, rating and social book markings (Kaplan ; Haenlein, 2010; Weber 2009). As social media evolves into a more sophisticated tool for interaction and global reach, many individuals and companies are leveraging on it to capture the audience of a vast majority. Social media primarily attracts the attention of the millennial generation. According to the 2010 Pew Research report, the millennial is defined as having been born between 1977 and 1992 (Norén, L. 2011). For this generation, various social media channels have become inseparable part of every phase of their lives, with Facebook and YouTube dominating their top choices. The emerging trend in Nigeria shows a widespread use in Facebook, YouTube, Instagram stories and tweets for business, such that investment in social media is no longer a matter of choice, but that of compulsion. Businesses will begin to integrate content marketing strategy with social media effort to boost their revenue. In a recent article on 2018 social media trends that would influence any business, (Adepeju, 2018), identified a new generation Z (Digital natives), who spend their entire time glued to the virtual world on their phones, and laptops. These set of individuals are even more valuable than the millennial generation, they are born between the 1990 and 2010, such that any organization that wants to grow should cater to the needs of this generation. As breaking news unfolds people increasingly rely on social media to stay abreast of the latest updates. Its sometimes inevitable that such information may encourage rumors, many of which are unverified at the point of release .This study will therefore will test the reliability of social media as a credible source of information , focusing specifically on the most popular social network sites; Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and twitter as the most frequently visited platforms in Nigeria. Based on the analysis of these platforms, recommendations would be made on how to debunk misinformation about a brand, which will help to design effective retraction strategies of erroneous beliefs, design educational tools and public information campaign strategies for West African seasoning and the Ajinomoto brand. Negative feelings, thought and beliefs patterns of customers are a concern to organization sustainability. Companies are constantly evaluated by the way they are perceived by the competition, the media and their customers and as frustrating as it might be, firms now have little or no control over how existing and potential customers or the public perceives their numerous brands. It is important to understand how to counter negative thinking in order to reduce these negative consequences. One of the many challenges organizations are facing in this global age is the determination of appropriate medium to reach target audience and influence favorable and positive buyer’s behaviors towards a brand. Organizations today in their pursuit for survival in a tensed and ever conscious/informed consumer have no other option order than to develop interest in social media research and the need for hiring social media experts. In most old generation organizations however, especially organizations with tangible products like AJINOMOTO seasoning brands, the use of traditional media (TV, radio, direct mail, outdoor), over reliance on the sales personnel, and customers word of mouth testimonials to potential customers is still prevalent. Traditional media with recent digital media evolution, is more like a one way communication to a mass audience and is not as effective in creating engagement in comparison to social media. Also, with increased population explosion, sales personnel efforts at establishing relationship with potential buyers or passing favorable news about a brand is limited. This proposed study therefore will investigate deeply erroneous beliefs held against AJINOMOTO seasoning brand, analyze the impact of social media in changing this erroneous belief , propose strategies for debunking such via social media platforms and increase the understanding of the role of social media for creation of brand awareness. Examine the extent to which Instagram can help to improve the public image of AJINOMOTO seasoning brand. Determine the extent to which Facebook can be employed to communicate the benefits of using AJINOMOTO seasoning brands to consumers. Determine the effectiveness of Twitter in communicating the brand value of AJINOMOTO seasoning. Analyze the belief held by the general public against the Ajinomoto brand, access the impact of current media strategies of West Africa seasoning and evaluate the impact Social Media campaign Strategies will have on the AJINOMOTO seasoning brand in the south west region of Nigeria. What are the erroneous beliefs held by the general public against the Ajinomoto brand? Will social media be a useful medium in changing the negative perception held against the Ajinomoto brand? What are the effects of Facebook in communicating the benefits of using AJINOMOTO seasoning brands? Will Instagram be effective in redeeming the public image of AJINOMOTO seasoning brand? What are the effects of YouTube videos in positioning AJINOMOTO as a healthy seasoning brand to consumers? Will Twitter be effective in communicating the brand benefits of AJINOMOTO seasoning? There are no erroneous beliefs significantly held against the AJINOMOTO seasoning brand. The use of social media is not significant as a medium in changing the negative perception held against the Ajinomoto brand. The use of Instagram is not effective in significantly redeeming the public image of the AJINOMOTO brand. The use of YouTube video channels does not significantly position AJINOMOTO as a healthy seasoning brand to consumers. This study will offer West African seasoning the opportunity to right a wrong perception about their brand, while adopting better strategies to reposition their brands and gain more market share. It contributes significantly to the advancing literatures in the field of social media communication, in relation to customer perception and brand management. It is believed that social media is changing the way businesses used to work, so Managers clearly need to be convinced of the impact that social media communication has on their brand, and more importantly look into activities which can improve the relationship between their brands and consumers. This study therefore has significance in marketing, as a vital aspect of marketing strategies nowadays. Also significant is the fact that marketers are being guided on how to choose the right activities for the right consumers. The study will seek to investigate the effects of social media as an effective medium for correcting negative belief held about AJINOMOTO seasoning brand from the consumers/customers perspectives. The study will analyze platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and twitter and will be constrained to consumers and customers in Lagos state, Nigeria. Time constraint in gathering of data is a limiting factor, considering a project is time bound and temporal, timely response from respondents and time to investigate responses may tend to delay the project progress and may often result to non-response and limited size of the sample. The research requires access to people, organizations and documents which may often be denied. The research data is based on a consumer survey, it requires self- reporting by the respondents. The fact that respondents might some-times not answer questions in a way that corresponds with reality could be limiting. Substantial financial resources are required for a detailed research study to cover expenses such as printing of journals, transportation and communication among others.
Erroneous beliefs or misinformation about a brand can be a nightmare , the widespread nature of these belief makes it is a source of concern , such that efforts to redeem the brands reputation afterwards becomes more like an uphill task . According to the new thesaurus dictionary , erroneous belief is a misconception resulting from incorrect information . Misinformation often originate from rumors , spread through word of mouth and actions , and as the populace became literate , the means to spread information diversified . People who do not possess direct knowledge or experience often rely on the media ; television , the press and more recently , the internet which through technological innovations has increased the speed by which news could travel , this has influenced to a large extent the ways in which information is communicated and misinformation is spread . The information a populace receives helps them to form their opinions and beliefs , particularly if major streams of beliefs are in opposition to established facts . If the truth is not established overtime , misinformed individuals could make decisions for themselves and their families that are not in their best interest and can have serious consequences . Erroneous news is a dire threat to brands worldwide , especially when it gets picked by the media and goes viral . Thus , brands become vulnerable to the effects of such news , often resulting in loss of customers , potential customers and revenue , making it difficult for a brand to experience customer loyalty and retention . A brand is a unique name , term , words , sign , symbol , design , a combination of these , or any other feature that identifies products and services of a company and differentiates them from the competition ( American Marketing Association 2016 ) . A brand is an intangible , but also a critical component of what a company represents ( Davis and Bojalil Re?bora , 2002 , 3 ) . Brands help companies to create a connection with customers on an emotional level . For this reason , many companies try to build unique and favorable strong brands ( Kotler and Keller , 2012 , 32 ) , such that the experience a consumer obtains from a brand determines its success . A brand is successful if the consumers perceive it as better than the competition , and fails if they do not ( Weilbacher 1999 , 22 ) . In the era of social media , this is becoming even more apparent , when communication is becoming more centered on the consumer . As a result of intense competition , companies all over the world are continually looking for new ways to communicate with their customers effectively . For that social media has become one of the most important media with 67 percent of all internet users using social media ( Pew Research Center , 2012 ) . Using social media platforms for marketing purposes is a new and rapidly growing way to develop positive relationships with customers ( Erdogmas & Cicek , 2012 ) . A study by Madden and Zickuhr ( 2011 ) reported that 65 % of U.S. adult Internet users now use social networking sites , more than double the percentage reported in 2008 ( 29 % ) and that 43 % of online adults use social networking sites daily . A more recent report from statistica ( 2018 ) reported that as of 2017 , daily social media usage of global internet users amounted to 135 minutes per day , up from 126 minutes in the previous year implying global social networking audience ’s surpassed 2 billion users in 2016 . The power of social networking according to statistica ( 2018 ) is such that the number of worldwide users is expected to reach some 3.02 billion monthly active social media users by 2021 , around a third of Earth ’s entire population . In Nigeria , several studies suggest that when Nigerians go online ( predominantly with their mobile phones ) they spend much of their time on social media platforms ( Facebook , Twitter , YouTube and so on ) . Sending and reading e - mails , reading news and posting research queries have become less important activities for Nigerians . To confirm this , the minister of communications , Mr Adebayo Shittu in an interview he granted punch newspaper , November 17 , 2017,(Everest 2017 ) , stated that about 75 % of Nigeria ’s population that use the internet are on the social media , and the number keeps growing both on social networking sites and blogging sites . This unarguably points to the fact that social media , amongst many other strategies , is a perfect place to target customers . It is therefore important to focus on the platform where your customers usually spend more time on a daily basis . Social media refers to the means of interactions among people through which information and ideas are created , shared and exchanged over virtual communities and networks . ( Kaplan ; Haenlein , 2012 ) defined social media as a group of Internet - based applications built on the ideological and technological foundations of Web and that allow the creation and exchange of user - generated content . Social media allow dynamic interaction in real time , disrupting the traditional balance of power between the firm and the consumers . The concept of Customer Relationship Management ( CRM ) , where the firm has significant information about its clients , is challenged , because consumers receive access to big amounts of information through the social media ( Malthouse , Haenlein , Skiera , Wege , ; Zhang , 2013 ) . Social media can take many forms , including social networks ( Facebook , YouTube , Instagram , Twitter , Pinterest , snapchat and so on),internet forums , weblogs , social blogs , microblogging , wikis , podcasts , pictures , videos , rating and social book markings ( Kaplan ; Haenlein , 2010 ; Weber 2009 ) . As social media evolves into a more sophisticated tool for interaction and global reach , many individuals and companies are leveraging on it to capture the audience of a vast majority . Social media primarily attracts the attention of the millennial generation . According to the 2010 Pew Research report , the millennial is defined as having been born between 1977 and 1992 ( Norén , L. 2011 ) . For this generation , various social media channels have become inseparable part of every phase of their lives , with Facebook and YouTube dominating their top choices . The emerging trend in Nigeria shows a widespread use in Facebook , YouTube , Instagram stories and tweets for business , such that investment in social media is no longer a matter of choice , but that of compulsion . Businesses will begin to integrate content marketing strategy with social media effort to boost their revenue . In a recent article on 2018 social media trends that would influence any business , ( Adepeju , 2018 ) , identified a new generation Z ( Digital natives ) , who spend their entire time glued to the virtual world on their phones , and laptops . These set of individuals are even more valuable than the millennial generation , they are born between the 1990 and 2010 , such that any organization that wants to grow should cater to the needs of this generation . As breaking news unfolds people increasingly rely on social media to stay abreast of the latest updates . Its sometimes inevitable that such information may encourage rumors , many of which are unverified at the point of release .This study will therefore will test the reliability of social media as a credible source of information , focusing specifically on the most popular social network sites ; Facebook , YouTube , Instagram and twitter as the most frequently visited platforms in Nigeria . Based on the analysis of these platforms , recommendations would be made on how to debunk misinformation about a brand , which will help to design effective retraction strategies of erroneous beliefs , design educational tools and public information campaign strategies for West African seasoning and the Ajinomoto brand . Negative feelings , thought and beliefs patterns of customers are a concern to organization sustainability . Companies are constantly evaluated by the way they are perceived by the competition , the media and their customers and as frustrating as it might be , firms now have little or no control over how existing and potential customers or the public perceives their numerous brands . It is important to understand how to counter negative thinking in order to reduce these negative consequences . One of the many challenges organizations are facing in this global age is the determination of appropriate medium to reach target audience and influence favorable and positive buyer ’s behaviors towards a brand . Organizations today in their pursuit for survival in a tensed and ever conscious / informed consumer have no other option order than to develop interest in social media research and the need for hiring social media experts . In most old generation organizations however , especially organizations with tangible products like AJINOMOTO seasoning brands , the use of traditional media ( TV , radio , direct mail , outdoor ) , over reliance on the sales personnel , and customers word of mouth testimonials to potential customers is still prevalent . Traditional media with recent digital media evolution , is more like a one way communication to a mass audience and is not as effective in creating engagement in comparison to social media . Also , with increased population explosion , sales personnel efforts at establishing relationship with potential buyers or passing favorable news about a brand is limited . This proposed study therefore will investigate deeply erroneous beliefs held against AJINOMOTO seasoning brand , analyze the impact of social media in changing this erroneous belief , propose strategies for debunking such via social media platforms and increase the understanding of the role of social media for creation of brand awareness . Examine the extent to which Instagram can help to improve the public image of AJINOMOTO seasoning brand . Determine the extent to which Facebook can be employed to communicate the benefits of using AJINOMOTO seasoning brands to consumers . Determine the effectiveness of Twitter in communicating the brand value of AJINOMOTO seasoning . Analyze the belief held by the general public against the Ajinomoto brand , access the impact of current media strategies of West Africa seasoning and evaluate the impact Social Media campaign Strategies will have on the AJINOMOTO seasoning brand in the south west region of Nigeria . What are the erroneous beliefs held by the general public against the Ajinomoto brand ? Will social media be a useful medium in changing the negative perception held against the Ajinomoto brand ? What are the effects of Facebook in communicating the benefits of using AJINOMOTO seasoning brands ? Will Instagram be effective in redeeming the public image of AJINOMOTO seasoning brand ? What are the effects of YouTube videos in positioning AJINOMOTO as a healthy seasoning brand to consumers ? Will Twitter be effective in communicating the brand benefits of AJINOMOTO seasoning ? There are no erroneous beliefs significantly held against the AJINOMOTO seasoning brand . The use of social media is not significant as a medium in changing the negative perception held against the Ajinomoto brand . The use of Instagram is not effective in significantly redeeming the public image of the AJINOMOTO brand .

Getting on a ladder to string Christmas lights around the outside of my home isn’t exactly my thing. I’m afraid of heights. But that doesn’t mean that I pass on the twinkly lights that the season is so well known for. No, I bring the lights indoors and put them everywhere. If you’d like to add a little sparkle to your interior, check out these bright indoor Christmas lighting ideas. See more Christmas hacks here! Put a string light Christmas tree up on the wall. This is an amazing way to save space in a small apartment or dorm room where a Christmas tree is impractical. Felt star ornaments spruce it up. I love displaying Christmas cards, but I have to admit that my snowman Christmas card holder isn’t the best way to do it. I can’t even see the card covers! This lighted card display is simply genius. Not only do you get to see those beautiful Christmas scenes and family pictures, but the twinkling lights really get you in the holiday spirit. Fill containers (jars, vases, cloches) with ornaments, pine cones, greenery and lights to create a simple holiday display you can put anywhere in your house. Decorate the mantle, tree or door frame with a lighted burlap garland. This is surprisingly easy and would make a wonderful gift. Paint some branches white, and wrap lights around them to make your own diy lighted branches on the cheap. Use the lights with the white wires rather than the green ones to help them blend in better. Galvanized buckets and greenery paired with twinkling lights creates a charming staircase display. Add twinkle lights to your hallway or to your kids’ bedrooms during the holiday season. What a magical tradition to start this year! Build your own lighted star. This is so easy that it’s a great project for the kids. Use paint sticks, rulers, yard sticks or trim to make the star, and simply wrap the lights through it. Add some lights and ornaments to a pretty basket for a twinkling display for the hearth. Make a merry and bright Christmas marquee for the mantle. I had no idea it was this easy… this is on my holiday diy list for sure! This lighted reindeer centerpiece is adorable and super easy to recreate with a glass vase, some fake snow, lights and the reindeer accessories. Use paint and stencils or vinyl to decorate wine bottles, and then add a string of mini lights to get that beautiful holiday glow. Create a soft glow using ping pong balls over multi-colored lights. This is another option I’d leave up year round… perfect for a kids’ room. Drill holes in a tin can, paint it, and add a string of lights underneath for a gorgeous lamp that creates pretty patterns of light on the ceiling and walls. Dedicate a wall to lights. This would look amazing in the foyer or mudroom so it’s the first thing your guests see. Make firefly lights with tulle or lace. They look so romantic! You can leave these up all year long, or they’d make a great addition to a teen girl’s room. Pair a string of lights with evergreen garland and drape them down your stairs. Gorgeous!

How many words are in an Integer in PLC5/04 Processor? Max should be 255. One way to verify would be to create a new offline SLC project in RSLogix500 for the type of processor you have and create a new Integer data file containing, say 1000 elements. Last edited by RonJohn; December 28th, 2017 at 08:32 AM. Reason: Indexing across data files caveat emptor. Actually you can have a total of 256 elements per integer file in a SLC or Micrologix. The highest element number will be 255.

Re: Where to buy/sell vintage tools? I don't particularly like ebay and their high fees and scammy stuff (and threatening emails to sellers now, constantly threatening to assess fees even if an auction doesn't complete, etc), but going against their vanilla setup (using standard features and just taking paypal so as to have the paper trail and exclusivity/lack of options) is always a problem causing thing. I never sell instruments on there (those are high cost low volume type things, and reverb set the bar by having a 3.5% fee instead of 10%, and when ebay was forced to meet it, they were too dishonest to communicate why). I'm forced to sell tools there only because nothing else has the reach that ebay does. Etsy is also on the greed train and with offensive communications when you give them your opinion. "we've been listening to you, we hope that you're happy despite ___". Anyway, offering my suggestions as a seller of things only because it's less than part time for me and I've taken my lumps as far as learning to avoid the things that waste time. My parents have three buildings full of (some of it valuable) junk, so in another decade or so, I may be forced to put all of this in play on a constant basis. I hope my sister is looking for something to do at the time instead, though. Where to buy/sell vintage tools?

The first winery built in the Napa Valley following the repeal of Prohibition, Merryvale is located in the heart of America’s premier wine region. A decade ago, the Merryvale operation was purchased by Jack Schlatter and family, with son, Rene, serving as company president. After the Schlatter family bought it, they renovated the facility and started making wine under two labels: Merryvale and Starmont. Past wine makers include Ric Forman, succeeded by Bob Levy, who currently runs a couple of winemaking operations for Harlan. Following the tradition of great wine makers is Sean Foster as Merryvale’s senior winemaker, and is joined by winemaker Graham Wehmeier. Sister winery Starmont, is located on the historic Stanly Ranch in Carneros where John Stanly planted one of the first vineyards in Carneros in 1872. This green winery is powered by the sun. The 2009 vintage reds are showing excellent quality and ripeness at slightly lower alcohol levels. Our 2009 Starmont Cabernet Sauvignon is approachable now and should be consumed within 8 years of the vintage. Lighter than some "big napa cabs" we drank, and very smooth. Paired beautifully with these less salty and less fatty cheeses: Epoisses (France, cow), Moliterno al Tartufo (Sardinia, sheep/truffle), Tarentaise (Vermonth, cow), and Framani salami (mmmm!). a bit of fruit on the nose. powerful, tannic, black pepper and sour cherries. aftertaste a tad disappointing - chemical tinge (despite being organic and solar). tannins have not mellowed, therefore not perfect with bison steak. (2003 Vintage) The least of the Merryvale 2003s is beset by dried forest, old wood and vaguely leathery notes that all but submerge sweeter scents of cherries and oak in the nose. The wine has a rounded feel at entry but is thin in flavor despite being full in body and high in ripeness. Pass it by. (2003 Vintage) Rating: 87/100 - As reviewed by Wine Spectator. (2004 Vintage) 12% Merlot. This straightforward offering comes with few bells or whistles, but it delivers honest Cabernet fruit and a nice bit of balanced oak spice. It is medium-full-bodied and fairly well-balanced even if toughening up just a touch in the latter-going, and it will benefit by a few years of smoothing while serving as a foil to hearty roasts early on.

Video (02:31) : Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau discusses a seismic draft-night trade on Thursday that reunites him with All-Star Jimmy Butler. After 14 months on the job, Timberwolves coach/president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau made his first trade and also got his man when he swung a seismic trade in Thursday’s NBA draft that reunites him with three-time All-Star and physical defender Jimmy Butler. To get a 27-year-old star he coached for four seasons in Chicago, Thibodeau sent promising youngsters Zach LaVine and Kris Dunn as well as Thursday’s seventh pick to the Bulls. The Wolves also received back the draft’s 16th pick, which the Bulls used to select Creighton 6-11 freshman center Justin Patton for Minnesota. The Bulls used the Wolves’ seventh pick to acquire Arizona 7-foot shooter Lauri Markkanen. A year after the two teams discussed such a trade, Thibodeau and General Manager Scott Layden pulled off their first one together. It’s a big one, too — just behind the one in team history that sent superstar Kevin Garnett to Boston in 2007 and probably even with the 2014 trade that sent away Kevin Love and brought Andrew Wiggins. In trading for Jimmy Butler on Thursday night, the Wolves get a three-time All-Star and a physical perimeter defender who turns 28 in September. Butler gives the Wolves an experienced, physical defender to put beside young stars Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, both of whom could use some defensive tutoring from one of the league’s best in that department. Given the NBA’s current economics, Butler is a bona fide star signed to a relative bargain contract that pays him $18.7 million this coming season and $19.8 million in 2018-19. He has a $19.8 million player option in 2019-20. Apparently, Butler will be missed in Chicago. To get Butler back, the Wolves traded LaVine, the 13th player taken in the 2014 and a two-time All-Star dunk contest winner who’s recovering from February knee surgery. They also dealt Dunn, the fifth player in last year’s draft whom the Bulls coveted when the two teams discussed a Butler trade on draft day in 2016. Thibodeau lauded Dunn’s development more than once when he and Layden held a pre-draft media briefing on Wednesday. During that briefing, Thibodeau identified the Wolves’ biggest needs as shooting, defense and toughness, and Butler provides all three, but those final two qualities in particular. The last player (30th overall) selected in the 2011 draft’s first round, Butler will turn 28 in September. He was raised in Tomball, Texas, and in Chicago wore uniform No. 21, which was former Wolves superstar Kevin Garnett’s number throughout his Wolves’ career. When ESPN reached him by telephone about 2 a.m. Friday Paris time, Butler declined to comment. He’s expected to be introduced as a Timberwolf in the middle of next week. Butler won the NBA’s Most Improved Player award in 2015 after he increased his scoring average from 13.1 points a game to 20 points a game. He accepted that award about the same time the Bulls fired Thibodeau after five years as their coach. The divorce between Thibodeau and Bulls management ended messily, but the two sides came together enough Thursday to make a deal that fit a Wolves team prepared to make a leap forward and a Bulls team ready to rebuild without Butler challenging coach Fred Hoiberg’s authority, which Butler did regularly last season. The trade was finalized, according to the Chicago Tribune, with a phone call between Thibodeau and Bulls VP John Paxson. The Chicago Bulls traded Jimmy Butler to the Wolves on Thursday night. Paxson called it “great” for a Wolves team that has accumulated enough young assets to make such a trade. He said he hopes his team will now do that, too. “It sets our course and what we need to do,” Paxson said. A 6-7 forward, Butler has played all his six NBA seasons in Chicago. He was named to the East’s All-Star team in 2015, 2016 and 2017 and was named All-NBA third team after this past season.

Debut director Matthijs van Heijningen’s update of the previously twice-made "Thing" horror movies is a completely respectable effort in spite of everything you’ve heard or read otherwise. Critics and audience members pretending that John Carpenter's 1982 version is better, or scarier, than Heijningen's film are in for a painful revelation if they ever take the time to actually compare the films in close succession. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a comely improvement over Kurt Russell as the story's protagonist. Winstead plays do-it-all paleontologist Dr. Kate Lloyd. Kate gets the call-up to travel to Antarctica after a determined Dr. Sander Halvorson (Ulrich Thomsen) discovers an alien monster frozen in the ice.

Volatility returned to global stock markets last week with the S&P 500 declining -3.85 percent from its Jan. 26th all-time high with international markets following suit. Volatility has carried into this week, but we believe it will be contained. Rising bond yields are the primary (but not only) catalyst behind the decline. In this edition of Market Spotlight we discuss volatility and corrections from an historical context while framing our forward expectations with a positive fundamental backdrop. The chart below offers a glimpse of YTD returns for the S&P 500 and each of its sectors. Drawdown Catalysts: Corrections need context. What we have seen so far has been minor and simply resets the markets to mid-January. With that said, we look at catalysts behind this renewed volatility and expect it to occur with increased frequency in 2018. The Fed: January 31st was Janet Yellen’s last meeting as Federal Reserve chairperson with incoming Fed chairperson, Jerome Powell, being sworn in this morning (Feb. 5th). The Fed continues to sound hawkish signaling three rate hikes in 2018. Last week, bond markets finally listened and began repricing, sending bond yields higher. Historically, markets have experienced short-term bouts of volatility during the first year of a new Fed chair with median S&P 500 returns of 11 percent and median drawdowns of -13 percent. Investors cannot plan for this but should not be surprised by it. Firming Inflation: We reiterate our reflation theme introduced last month as critical to our 2018 outlook. This was supported by last week’s jobs report, which revealed unexpected wage inflation with average hourly earnings jumping from 2.4 percent to 2.9 percent. This was not impacted by the large and growing roster of companies paying one-time bonuses from the recently enacted tax reform package. Oil prices remain firm, and global prices for manufacturing inputs are climbing steadily, especially in Europe. The Fed’s 2-percent inflation target has been mistaken as a bullseye. They will continue hiking rates as long as inflation is 2 percent …ish. Excessive Optimism: Recent indicators reveal record high levels of optimism among investors and business leaders alike. Accelerating economic growth and tax-reform optimism have fueled animal spirits generating uninterrupted market returns with the lowest volatility in 90 years. The economic story remains strong enough to remain optimistic, but we suspect upcoming sentiment surveys to curb their enthusiasm slightly. Overdue Pullback: Last week ended the record streak for number of days without a 3-percent drawdown for both U.S. and Global stock indices. Bull markets don’t die of old age so we think it is healthy for the Bull to catch its breath. Further modest pullbacks would not surprise us and not change our position that any drawdowns would be within a continuing but maturing bull market. New Competition for Stocks: A final thought on rising bond yields can be captured in the chart below. It has been almost 10 years since 2-year Treasury notes have yielded more than the S&P 500 dividend yield. The unwinding of Fed policy may have the unanticipated effect of ending the “risk on/risk off” relationship between stocks and bonds. We have seen this so far in 2018 with an unusual positive correlation between stock prices and bond yields. This could pose a more challenging environment for asset allocation as bonds are displaying a diminishing effect as a hedge against risk assets. Q4 earnings and revenue are beating estimates by 75 percent and 78 percent respectively. The chart below simply shows business is good for S&P 500 companies with almost 80 percent of S&P companies beating revenue expectations. The economy and markets are finally behaving as they would in a normal economic cycle, and this is a very healthy thing. Normal bouts of interest rate and stock market volatility, as we are seeing now for the first time in two years, should be expected. Normalcy is slowly being restored to markets. Simultaneous execution of tighter Fed policy coinciding with pro-growth corporate tax reform remains the biggest story of 2018. As we have said before, we think 2018 marks a late cycle turning point and expect stocks to slowly shift from a steep return/low volatility regime to a modest return/rising volatility regime. The global financial system has been repaired. The recovery that began in the fall of 2014, once the Fed ended quantitative easing, continues. As the recovery enters later stages, reflation will nudge global markets further ahead at a modest pace. As long as the positive fundamental backdrop remains in place we would not view recent market action as a catalyst for concern. This has been one of the more telegraphed pullbacks we have seen in years and welcome it. Short-term volatility is normal and does not warrant changing a prudent long-term investment plan. Stay the course.

Hey there. With this type of stitch, what is the best way you would suggest to add a name to the stocking, near the top? I've tried several different methods but most end up looking messier than I'd prefer. Help!

On Sunday, March 10, 2019, most of the U.S. switched to Daylight time from Standard time. Not all of the U.S. makes the change. Arizona, except for the Navajo Nation, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands don't switch to Daylight time in the spring nor back to Standard time in the fall. Their clocks are always set to Standard time. If you travel internationally, it's important to be aware that the Daylight/Standard time change doesn't universally occur across the globe. More than 100 countries never change to Daylight time and more than a few countries switch between the two on different dates than other countries. Lithium based batteries on commercial passenger aircraft have been regulated since 2008. That year, the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) banned spare lithium based batteries from passengers' checked luggage. At the end of last month, the US DOT formalized what U.S. based commercial passenger air carriers already had been doing. They banned the “transport of lithium-ion cells or batteries as cargo on passenger aircraft.” ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) had called for the ban since February, 2016. The deadly health effects of tobacco were made known in 1964, when Luther L. Terry, M.D., then Surgeon General of the U.S., released the first report of the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health. From that report and subsequent ones, we know that smokers are more likely than non-smokers to develop heart disease, stroke, lung cancer and a myriad of other serious diseases. According to the CDC, the statistics about smokers contracting life threatening diseases compared to non-smokers are startling. Smokers are more likely to contract coronary heart disease by 200%-400%. Smokers are more likely to experience a stroke by 200%-400%. Smokers are more likely to die from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by 1,200%-1,300%. Male smokers are more likely to develop lung cancer by 2,500%. Female smokers are more likely to develop lung cancer by 2,570%. Cigarette smoke is extremely toxic. It contains about 4,000 active compounds, including tar, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and heavy metals.

I have chosen to work with glass to express ideas of space, light and movement. The inherent qualities of the glass imbue the work with a spiritual and ethereal quality. My current work has been inspired by a tumbling waterfall and river at Lydford Gorge in Devon. The pieces are fused and formed in the kiln and enhanced by the additions of dichroic glass.

Hypebeast is Uncaging the Ultra Boost to celebrate their 10th anniversary. The Adidas Ultra Boost has seen a tremendous surge in popularity lately, which can be attributed to many reasons, but the fact remains they are a tremendously comfortable shoe. The “Uncaged” name is derived from the absence of the normal support cage that is standard on the model. These extremely limited Black and White collabs could be somewhat difficult to get your feet in though, rumors are that not only are production numbers extremely low, they will only be available through Hypebeast’s online store on December 12th and later on Dec 18th at selected adidas Consortium retailers only. What do you think of the Hypebeast x adidas Ultra Boost “Uncaged”?

UPDATE: Freshman forward Emmitt Williams has announced plan to declare for the NBA Draft. He's the fifth Tiger to do so in two weeks. BATON ROUGE - Javonte Smart, the player entangled in the ongoing controversy surrounding LSU basketball coach Will Wade, is leaving the university after his freshman season. Smart, who's been a key component of the Tigers throughout their NCAA Tournament run, announced he would declare for the NBA Draft through his Instagram account Thursday. The freshman was briefly benched toward the end of the season after his name came up in reference to a potential recruiting scandal involving LSU Head Coach Will Wade. Smart is the fourth LSU basketball player to announce plans to head to the pros in recent weeks. Naz Reid, Tremont Waters and Skylar Mays have all announced their impending exits since LSU fell in the NCAA Tournament last month.

Hello all! Sorry for the short, unexpected break. I'm back now. Shew. Speaking of short and breaks...you'll see I'm sporting a new, shorter look in the nail department. It's kind of refreshing to "reboot" my mani every once in awhile, even if it's initially under duress! So I have a new-to-me brand to introduce to you. I learned about Precision Nail Lacquers during a visit to their booth at Cosmoprof North America. This polish line was created by family-owned Lamoon Beauty specifically with nail technicians in mind. The line includes 80 core shades, as well as nail art tools and treatments. Today I've got pics of a few recent collections and swatches of their Summer 2013 release, Color FX. There's a lot to cover! In addition to the 80 core shades, Precision Nail Lacquers has released several seasonal collections. All of the collections I'm showing you today are still available on their website. The Dreamy Collection consists of six creamy pastels: (L to R) Blissful Abyss, Enlightenment, Walking on Air, Grape-Divine, On Cloud 9 and McDreamy. The Get Loud Collection includes 12 ultra brights and neon shades: (L to R) bottom row: Razzmatazz, Vio-Let Me Rock, Electro Daisy, I'm Berry Shocked and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. top row: Lime a Dozen, Got an Idea?, My Little Peony, Kiss Kiss Tan Tang, Pink-adelic and Orange she Hot? The Oasis Collection contains three nudes and three dark colors that are perfect for Fall: (L to R) Sahara Deserted Me, You're in De-Nile River, Sage, Been There Done That, Sandstorm and Scorpion King. Nail Polish Wars has nice swatches of this collection here. The Toxic Love Collection has deeper winter hues in creme and shimmery metallic finishes: (L to R) I'd Love to Hate You, Poison Ivy, Intoxicated, I'm Addicted to you..., Toxic Wast-ing My Time and Till Death Do Us Part. The Glam Rock Collection has six vixen colors, including an amazing metallic gold (you have to see this one in person): (L to R) Glam Metal, U Rock & Roll, VIP - Very Important Polish, Rebel Red in You and Party Like a Rockstar. I actually got to test drive the polish. The Color FX Collection is their Summer 2013 release. The shades are summery and fruity. I was impressed with the formula and application. All six polishes had a thinner consistency, but were easy-to-control. The brush bristles are longer than I'm used to, but I got the hang of it quickly. The shades in this particular collection aren't super unique, but they're great quality summer staples. All swatches are topped with one coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl topcoat. Wait a Melon for Me is a soft cantaloupe orange with a smooth jelly finish. My swatch is two coats. There's still a very faint visible nail line, which I didn't mind. It would be completely opaque in three coats for sure. The Next "It" Girl is a warm, sunny yellow creme...practically a dead-on dupe for OPI The "It" Color. Application was excellent for a yellow. My swatch is three coats. Honey Dew This is a light fern green. This is similar in color to OPI Green-wich Village, but the formula is very different. Honey Dew This has a sheer crelly finish. The formula was nice. I used three coats. Pur-fect FX is a pretty medium purple creme. And finally, we have my favorite, Surfin' in Maliblue. It's a clean lake blue. This is two easy coats. All Precision Nail Lacquers are three free and cruelty free. The large, custom designed 16ml bottles are available to professionals through beauty supply stores and directly to consumers from the Precision Nail Lacquer website for only $5.95, an excellent price point for a professional line of polish.

Hello all ! Sorry for the short , unexpected break . I 'm back now . Shew . Speaking of short and breaks ... you'll see I 'm sporting a new , shorter look in the nail department . It 's kind of refreshing to " reboot " my mani every once in awhile , even if it 's initially under duress ! So I have a new - to - me brand to introduce to you . I learned about Precision Nail Lacquers during a visit to their booth at Cosmoprof North America . This polish line was created by family - owned Lamoon Beauty specifically with nail technicians in mind . The line includes 80 core shades , as well as nail art tools and treatments . Today I 've got pics of a few recent collections and swatches of their Summer 2013 release , Color FX . There 's a lot to cover ! In addition to the 80 core shades , Precision Nail Lacquers has released several seasonal collections . All of the collections I 'm showing you today are still available on their website . The Dreamy Collection consists of six creamy pastels : ( L to R ) Blissful Abyss , Enlightenment , Walking on Air , Grape - Divine , On Cloud 9 and McDreamy . The Get Loud Collection includes 12 ultra brights and neon shades : ( L to R ) bottom row : Razzmatazz , Vio - Let Me Rock , Electro Daisy , I 'm Berry Shocked and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun . top row : Lime a Dozen , Got an Idea ? , My Little Peony , Kiss Kiss Tan Tang , Pink - adelic and Orange she Hot ? The Oasis Collection contains three nudes and three dark colors that are perfect for Fall : ( L to R ) Sahara Deserted Me , You 're in De - Nile River , Sage , Been There Done That , Sandstorm and Scorpion King . Nail Polish Wars has nice swatches of this collection here . The Toxic Love Collection has deeper winter hues in creme and shimmery metallic finishes : ( L to R ) I 'd Love to Hate You , Poison Ivy , Intoxicated , I 'm Addicted to you ... , Toxic Wast - ing My Time and Till Death Do Us Part . The Glam Rock Collection has six vixen colors , including an amazing metallic gold ( you have to see this one in person ): ( L to R ) Glam Metal , U Rock & Roll , VIP - Very Important Polish , Rebel Red in You and Party Like a Rockstar . I actually got to test drive the polish . The Color FX Collection is their Summer 2013 release . The shades are summery and fruity . I was impressed with the formula and application . All six polishes had a thinner consistency , but were easy - to - control . The brush bristles are longer than I 'm used to , but I got the hang of it quickly . The shades in this particular collection are n't super unique , but they 're great quality summer staples . All swatches are topped with one coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl topcoat . Wait a Melon for Me is a soft cantaloupe orange with a smooth jelly finish . My swatch is two coats . There 's still a very faint visible nail line , which I did n't mind . It would be completely opaque in three coats for sure . The Next " It " Girl is a warm , sunny yellow creme ... practically a dead - on dupe for OPI The " It " Color . Application was excellent for a yellow . My swatch is three coats . Honey Dew This is a light fern green . This is similar in color to OPI Green - wich Village , but the formula is very different .

South African rapper, Kid X is back with a brand new track titled ‘Thanx’ following his recent departure from Cashtime Life. This is X’s first record after announcing that he will be leaving Cashtime Life. This happened after Nomoozie had exited the label and the masses were so sure of the fact that there was bad blood between X and K.O. KiD X is actually very thankful for the opportunity he was given by Mr Cashtime, Ma-E and Ntukza. X just might be ready to drop a masterpiece because in this record he talks about not finding the words to tell his idol that he is his successor. In the tradition of receiving more blessings he shows his gratitude to the team that put him on.

The first time I seen him, he was singing, on my T.V. He had swings and moves, I had never ever seen. His name is Elvis Presley, that’s what Ed Sullivan said. this man with slick black hair, combed perfectly on his head. with that country style of talk, that all woman embraced. I would stand up in front of the T.V..,and start off with that grin. “you ain’t nothing but a hounddog”, and shake that thing. with one hand on the mic, I started to sing like Elvis. even with pommade on my hair, it still started to hang. He is the “KING OF ROCK AND ROLL”, who had all the right moves. He was “KING CREOL” with that stylish rebel grin. He had the coolest side burns, I have ever seen so far. With that famous curl on his forhead, and Nancy Sinatra next to him. My Idol was gone, but never forgotten, was hard to say goodby.

PANAMA CITY BEACH The Naval Support Activity - Panama City is observing Sexual Assault Awareness month. Base C.O. Commander Christopher Serow signed a proclamation this afternoon to mark the event. The observance comes as the military struggles to redefine individual behavior, in-light of several recent sexual assault cases. For 22 years, Mike Domitrz has been traveling the country, speaking to high schools, colleges, and military bases about date safety. He calls his lectures "Can I kiss you?". He's been presenting at Navy bases the past two weeks. Date Safe Project Founder Mike Domitrz says, "Working with the navy is always wonderful. They get the importance of giving the sailors these skill sets, and they really understand that the best way to engage people is by actually engaging with them." The Naval Support Activity - Panama City invited Domitrz to speak to sailors Friday afternoon. It's the first time the base has hosted an outside speaker on this issue. Domitrz manages to take the serious and somewhat uncomfortable topic of Sexual Assault Awareness month, and make it entertaining. Naval support activity commanding officer, Commander Christopher Serow kicked-off the day's events with a proclamation signing. Sexual assault is an urgent topic in the military, but base officials say events like this will hopeful prevent further incidents. NSA-PC Commanding Officer Commander Christopher Serow says, "The Navy's made great strides in confronting the issues of sexual assault, increased reporting of incidents is showing victims have greater trust in the Navy's ability to provide care for them as well as to hold perpetrators accountable." NSA-PC Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Catherine Montfort adds, "Sexual assault is real and it's happening and there are ways of preventing any type of alleged perpetration charges, to be placed. It allows people to understand they don't need to be a victim." Naval Support Activity will hold a number of sexual assault awareness events throughout the month.

In this case, Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers are used to allow hardware peripherals to directly access system memory but this access is under strict control and supervision of the CPU. This creates a new vm_area_struct data structure describing the shared memory for this process. The thrust behind Linux development is not an effort to release perfect, bug-free code: it is to develop a free implementation of UNIX. You can also go for another Arch-based distro, Antergos. These concepts are vital not only to software, but also to every-day life. Linux itself is actually just the kernel; it implements multitasking and multiuser functionality, manages hardware, allocates memory, and enables applications to run. From within the interface you can execute commands that tell the operating system and other applications to perform specific tasks. Every distribution contains hundreds or thousands of programs that can be distributed along with it, and each of these programs, as well as the distribution itself, need a variety of people and skill sets to make them successful, including: There's some chance you're using Linux already and don't know it, but if you'd like to install Linux on your home computer to try it out, the easiest way is to pick a popular distribution that is designed for your platform (for example, laptop or tablet device) and give it a shot. It wakes up the sleeping process making it available to be restarted the next time the scheduler runs. Businesses, educational institutions, governmental agencies and other organizations around the world are converting1 their computer operating systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux at an increasing pace. The shell acts as an interface between the user and the kernel. The takeover of software by corporations continued at a rapid pace, and free software was becoming an endangered species. It would not be enough to stop here, though. This showcased not only how the Linux community works together to handle critical software security threats but also just how important enterprise-grade Linux is in production environments, regardless of the shiny services and applications running on it. As the required software for these devices is not an included part of Slackware, and varies from driver to driver, we will not go into detail on them. Gaz Hall, a UK based SEO Expert, commented: "Every system clock tick the timer bottom half handler is marked as active so that the when the scheduler next runs, the timer queues will be processed." Advocates of these extremely short and simple licenses contend that they provide even greater freedom than the GPL because they grant the freedom for source code to be incorporated into proprietary software (which usually keeps its source code secret). You can find good software out there for processing your access file. If the default handling is needed, then Linux can optimize the handling of the signal. For example, only the root user can change a process's uid.

It didn’t take long for the new Audi R8 LMS GT3 to establish itself as a winner: just seven weeks after its presentation in Geneva, WRT brought the German manufacturer their very first win with the R8 Mk. II. The victory in the second VLN race of the season at the Nürburgring came courtesy of a stellar drive by Christopher Mies and Nico Müller. Race day started like it so often does at the Nürburgring: dry for the start of practice, then came the rain. The result was a scrambled starting grid for the fortieth running of the DMV 4-Stunden-Rennen. Starting from pole position was HTP’s Bentley Continental GT3. Consolidating his well-earned first starting position, Lance David Arnold was first onto the Nordschleife. The Duisburger soon discovered slick tyres were the way to go on the drying surface, deciding to change tyres at the end of lap one. With most of the GT3 field following Arnold into the pits, the stage was set for a thrilling four hours. Not so much for Renger van der Zande and Jaap van Lagen, though. The teams of the two Dutchmen were caught out by the rain in the morning practise and had to start from the middle of the field. Arriving at Hohe Acht for the second time, the two hit each other, forcing both the Rowe Racing Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 of Van der Zande and Van Lagen’s Black Falcon SLS AMG into retirement. Coming from fourteenth place, Christopher Mies charged to the front in the opening hour, not being held up by battles and avoiding the traps that the Nordschleife usually presents to drivers. Making up eleven positions, the WRT pilot was already in the hunt for the lead, chasing down teammates Laurens Vanthoor and Pierre Kaffer in the sister R8, and the Rowe Racing Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 of Christian Hohenadel, Klaus Graf, Nico Bastian and Thomas Jäger (the Mercedes-AMG Thomas Jäger from Münnchen, not Austrian BMW youngster Thomas Jäger), who had taken over the lead after the first round of pitstops. In the hours that followed, a three-way battle between the two Audi’s and Mercedes-Benz emerged. As the rain made a second appearance an hour and a half before the finish, the lead had already changed hands several times between Mercedes-Benz and Audi. Then came go-time for Nico Müller. The VLN debutant put down several fast laps while still saving enough fuel to put himself out of need to come in to the pits during the last round of pitstops. As the chequered flag flew, 23-year-old Müller had built up a gap of nearly one and a half minute. Vanthoor and Kaffer, meanwhile, managed to get past Rowe Racing during the last pitstop, affirming that the new R8 is not giving up on the winning-ways of its predecessor. With the finish of VLN2 also came an end to the last opportunity for teams to prepare for the Nürburgring 24 hours in competition. Whatever the weather brings us during the twice-around-the-clock in May, the laps in the rain today were well worth having as rain in the Eifel is a given during the month of May.

Anyone who’s ever been frustrated at the task of shooting video in low light should be poised to freak out over Canon’s weird and amazing new camera. It’s a video camera that shoots full HD color footage in almost complete darkness. The ‘multi-purpose’ camera, dubbed only MH20F-SH, has a full-frame sensor with 2.26 megapixels. The reason for the meager resolution is because each pixel is very large—19 microns to be exact. That’s 7.5x larger than, say, the pixels found on a flagship DSLR like the Canon 1Dx. Huge pixels mean they can capture a huge amount of light. In this case, Canon’s sensor reaches an insane 4,000,000 ISO. Yeah, four million. Basically it sees better in the dark than you can. Remember, this is without infrared night vision tricks. It’s normal color 1080p video at 24, 30, or 60 fps. Before you get excited at what this means for your gritty neo-noir short film set in an dark alley, let me tell you that this camera is not meant for most consumers. First off, it’s $30,000. And it’s made for “industrial” uses. Not sure what that really means, but Canon mentioned things like nighttime surveillance and wildlife documentaries. Something tells me many crazies will think of other cool uses for it. It’s pretty small, at about 4 x 4 x 4 inches, so that will make it versatile for interesting shooting situations. The point of this seems to be for Canon to show off that it still innovates. It’s taken quite a lot of heat from camera enthusiasts in the past couple of years for falling behind in bringing new and forward-thinking features to market. Though proving people wrong with a $30,000 device is an interesting way to go. In any case, we can all look forward to eye-popping nighttime footage coming out of this thing in the near future when the camera ships in December.

The Rev. Gerard Furlan was collecting the donation box from the Our Lady of Fatima Shrine when he was approached by a man asking to talk. Instead of talking, the unidentified man ripped the donation box from the elderly priest's hands and ran from the Summer Street shrine to a waiting van. The Rev. Gerard Furlan was collecting the donation box from the Our Lady of Fatima Shrine when he was approached by a man asking to talk. Instead of talking, the unidentified man ripped the donation box from the elderly priest's hands and ran from the Summer Street shrine to a waiting van. "I tried chasing him, but I couldn't catch him. I was a lot older than he was,'' said Furlan, who is 76. He described the man as about 30. Now it's the police who are looking for the man who stole the donation box, as well as his accomplices who waited in the van. Police were called Sunday at 5:58 p.m., about 15 minutes after the robbery. "He forcibly removed the box from the father's hands and ran away,'' Sgt. Glenn Dalrymple said. The man jumped into a running van, which was driven by a woman, and had another man in the front seat. The thief dropped several bills as he ran to van, the sergeant said. Right before the robbery, a woman who was picnicking on the grounds of the shrine had left food on top of her car. When she turned back, the food was gone and people suspected the people in the van. Dalrymple said the robbery of the priest happened minutes later. Furlan estimated there was about $500 in the box. "I would say they were very hungry,'' Furlan said. It is disappointing that someone would steal at a place designed to help people, Furlan said. If the thieves needed the help, the shrine could have found a way to assist them, he said. "These were people who had bad intentions,'' he said. Police did not get a good description of the suspects, but witnesses described the vehicle as a dark-colored Chevy van with lines and decals on the side. It had Florida license plates. Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Sgt. Craig Denman at 508-429-1212.

I'm staying at a rather nice hotel while at a trade show in Dallas - and am having to deal with clothing that had close to 24 hours in my luggage before I was able to hang it up. This morning, I began the bane of my traveling existence - trying to iron out the wrinkles and extra creases so that I look presentable when speaking, visiting with retailers, etc. The hotel had, placed by the iron, a 2 oz container of liquid "Ironing Starch" - what a great thing! My clothes not only ironed out smoothly, they looked - if I dare say this - "crisp"! (Look out world, here I come!) However - if I wanted to use, and keep, this starch, I had to agree to a $2.00 charge to my room. Hotels are notorious these days for nickeling and diming guests for extras - and some times it's more than nickels and dimes - $4.50 for a bottle of water! This situation struck me as different. First of all, I am sure that the hotel makes money on this. I bet that they don't pay 50 cents for each little spray bottle. However, the pricing is reasonable and the need to use this is very real for many of their guests. This provided them with a revenue and profit stream while providing me with real value - a win-win situation. Taking this thought process to the retail world....what can your staff offer to your shoppers in the form of add-on purchases that provide them with real value - and that provide you with some incremental sales at the same time? Too many times retailer clerks come across as using the "would you like fries with that" sales technique of a fast food establishment. If we offer real value, we are enhancing our customers' shopping experiences, enforcing our image in the marketplace as a quallity place to shop, and providing some extra sales for ourselves.

“Human beings are into altered states of consciousness… We are willing to spend money to perceive the world in a different way. Whether it’s our fierce appetite for mind-altering drugs, or virtual reality, technologies like cinema, or even going into a casino or hiring a prostitute; human beings will spend to feel different to go into an altered state. Today we’re seeing a renaissance in the psychotherapeutic uses of psychedelic substances like MDMA or psilocybin mushrooms. Where human beings are now saying that, within the realm of altered states, might be a solution to our existential ills. That we might finally bridge a tunnel between ourselves and the infinite. So, it is in the end through altered states, that we may even find our salvation. And I think this is really interesting. You know, I love to go to the movies. I love to go into a liminal trance when I lose myself in an alternate reality. I like to dream while I’m awake. I like the dream at night too, but if we can treat our normal waking lives as something that is as unbounded as our dreams, that is as unbounded as cinema, perhaps therein lies the future of human consciousness. When technology can be sourced to take care of all of our ills and to handle our menial tasks might we free human imagination into a waking dream state? A lucid dream in which we live? Might we all fall into the rabbit hole? Might we all inhabit wonderland? Might we all get a pass to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory? It’s Never Ending Story, folks, and this is where we’re going to live. The above post was lovingly crafted by Josiah Hultgren. Josiah Hultgren is Founder/CEO of MindFullyAlive, a Senior Lecturer at California Lutheran University, a NeuroCoach, and a practical neuroscience expert. He produces and curates mindfulness content designed to improve structure and functioning of the brain. His mission is to help create a more vibrant world and apply neuroscience in ways that help people reach their highest potential. If you haven't tried VR yet and have a decent smartphone, LoVR by is a great excuse to drop $20 or so on a Google Cardboard headset and jump in. The immersive motion design piece tumbles you through a story of "love at first sight" in which brain data is presented as lines of prose. "He sees her" - Dopamine is released and there an activity spike in the nucleus accumbens. "He looks into her eyes" - The amygdala fires and sends a signal via the accellerans nerve that increases his heart rate. "Their heart opens" - Oxytocin gets released. The "brain data" is intertwined with the story in way that draws you into the "subject's" inner-experience. More than 100000 chemical reactions happen in your brain every second. So what about the moment you saw the girl of your dreams, and she saw you? If we could capture those few seconds what would the data look like? LoVR is a document of this moment. A story of love, told through neural activity captured over 4 seconds. As chemicals are released and areas of the brain activated, a form of poetry is revealed within the data. The heart beats, the iris dilates and time stands still as two lovers see each other for the first time. Below is the flattened, non-VR version. It's beautiful, but there is no comparison to the 3D, 360 degrees VR experience. You can the stream VR video via Vittlstar or Vrideo, but we recommend downloading and viewing it using Within for a better quality experience on a mobile device. For those with an Oculus Rift, you can download it here. Meditation practices tend to be simple. So, it's ironic many apps about these practices are anything but that. That's why it's refreshing to discover an app like Sit: an iOS meditation app that has beautiful minimalism at the core of its design. As an app, sit has only three components: a visually elegant timer with Tibetan bowl sounds, a quick journal, and a log of activity. “We wanted to build a tool that you could open and get started in one tap, every time. Simplicity came first and foremost. I wanted to write down thoughts that came to me and see some nice data about streaks, time of each session, etc. Sit is available in the iTunes App Store for free.

When I first signed up to run the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon as part of Raincoast’s ‘Salmon Run’ team, I just had two tasks: get fit and raise 1,000 dollars. Yeah, just two tasks. Last summer, about a dozen of us set out with the goal of each raising $1,000 toward Raincoast’s youth conservation initiative. The primary emphasis of this program is to help fund Raincoast’s ongoing involvement in science and education camps for youth that take place annually in the remote Koeye valley on the BC coast. We try to host at least two camps every summer and send members of our science staff to work with the kids. While the entire summer program covers a range of issues that face First Nations youth, Raincoast’s participation generally focuses on the lives of salmon, wolves or bears, but has also included getting the kids onto Achiever (our research vessel) to spend a day listening to underwater animals, examining small creatures like plankton and gaining exposure to life in the ocean. The response to these camps, both from the campers and the instructors alike, is that they are often transformative and even life changing. We believe these kinds of experiences will help shape future leaders of BC’s coastal communities, and inspire passion and dedication to protecting this coast. So, with that in mind, the twelve of us set our goal. I am thrilled to report that most of us met or exceeded it! Together with our sponsors, we doubled what we raised last year – you can still help us build on that success by donating now. This was the second year for Raincoast as an official pledge charity of the Victoria Marathon. This was also the second year I ran the half marathon. While I was training, I read an incredible book, which I recommend even to non-runners. Titled Born to Run, the story is about ultra marathons (50-100 miles, often in extreme conditions), the people and tribes that do these distances, and the psychological space that dominates the champions in this arcane world. One of the chapters focused on our evolutionary history as long distance endurance runners. It was amazing what this knowledge did for framing the distance of a few (okay, 21 to be exact) kilometres, given what our species is actually capable of. The ‘form fits function’ elements of our running anatomy was something new to me, as I always thought our bodies weren’t designed for distance running and that was the reason for the physical breakdowns that most runners experience. Not so, according to the author Christopher McDougall. The ‘what we are capable of’ aspect of this race has been a theme running through my consciousness. As a species, we are capable of so much more than we typically exhibit. We just need to get out of the headspace we are currently in and recognize our true nature. From this can come great joy and harmony, even under duress. Trashing our planet becomes much more difficult when joy and harmony are the driving forces in our daily lives. Next year I have my sights on the full marathon. And if I want to beat the statistics on running injuries, I need to ditch my running shoes, get onto the ball of my foot, and step like a fox; lightly on the Earth, with purpose and presence.

We try to host at least two camps every summer and send members of our science staff to work with the kids . While the entire summer program covers a range of issues that face First Nations youth , Raincoast ’s participation generally focuses on the lives of salmon , wolves or bears , but has also included getting the kids onto Achiever ( our research vessel ) to spend a day listening to underwater animals , examining small creatures like plankton and gaining exposure to life in the ocean . The response to these camps , both from the campers and the instructors alike , is that they are often transformative and even life changing . We believe these kinds of experiences will help shape future leaders of BC ’s coastal communities , and inspire passion and dedication to protecting this coast . So , with that in mind , the twelve of us set our goal . I am thrilled to report that most of us met or exceeded it ! Together with our sponsors , we doubled what we raised last year – you can still help us build on that success by donating now . This was the second year for Raincoast as an official pledge charity of the Victoria Marathon . This was also the second year I ran the half marathon . While I was training , I read an incredible book , which I recommend even to non - runners . Titled Born to Run , the story is about ultra marathons ( 50 - 100 miles , often in extreme conditions ) , the people and tribes that do these distances , and the psychological space that dominates the champions in this arcane world . One of the chapters focused on our evolutionary history as long distance endurance runners . It was amazing what this knowledge did for framing the distance of a few ( okay , 21 to be exact ) kilometres , given what our species is actually capable of . The ‘ form fits function ’ elements of our running anatomy was something new to me , as I always thought our bodies were n’t designed for distance running and that was the reason for the physical breakdowns that most runners experience . Not so , according to the author Christopher McDougall . The ‘ what we are capable of ’ aspect of this race has been a theme running through my consciousness . As a species , we are capable of so much more than we typically exhibit . We just need to get out of the headspace we are currently in and recognize our true nature . From this can come great joy and harmony , even under duress . Trashing our planet becomes much more difficult when joy and harmony are the driving forces in our daily lives . Next year I have my sights on the full marathon . And if I want to beat the statistics on running injuries , I need to ditch my running shoes , get onto the ball of my foot , and step like a fox ; lightly on the Earth , with purpose and presence .

Hey guys im going to go core 2 soon and want to sell my old stuff. Im not sure what its worth though. This is Mushkin ultimate overclocking memory, rated to reach 500MHz at 3-3-2-8 latencies. PC4000 memory kit for the absolute enthusiast! This is the one that comes pre overclocked as standard. Look on ebay for a rough guide on how much it's worth. Since the 3600+ is going for around &#163;45 new, i would say you could get &#163;60-&#163;80 depending on the age and condition. As for the -Asus A8N-SLI Premium its a good board and is still pricey, if it isnt too old i would expect a very decent price. Price is all down to what people are willing to pay...suprisingly enough! Package it all up and sell it to some 16 year old with daddies credit card, you're bound to top £1k!

When Should Rose be transplanted? Can I transplant the rose in this season because some younger roses of past year have shortage of space and there roots are coming out from pots drainage holes? Will it cause any damage to plant? I successfully kept roses for a number of years and plants survived due to regular feeding and control of pests. Only today, I saw well established plants in bloom at one of the nurseries situated on the Karachi Boat Basin "nala" Mine are also blooming but not as good as in winters. That's the wonderful part of gardening in Karachi. I don't think you will find roses in bloom anywhere else in Pakistan. Hello1 wrote: That's the wonderful part of gardening in Karachi. I don't think you will find roses in bloom anywhere else in Pakistan. I am a Karachite myself .......but for roses you get to know them only in colder,non tropical climates. Rightly said.

New companies are focusing on delivering scalability for Ruby on Rails. Although developers swear by the productivity gains afforded by using Ruby on Rails, the popular Web platform has met criticism as not being scalable enough for prime time. Well, some startups are focusing on ensuring that Ruby on Rails, also known simply as Rails, does indeed scale. Ruby on Rails, like the Ruby language it is based on, has been used in several Web 2.0 applications such as Twitter, Jobster and Shopify, as well as beginning to appear in a number of enterprise applications. However, despite many success stories, what tends to stand out are the tales of how Rails took a development project 95 percent of the way to the Promised Land of enterprise scalability but needed a boost from some other language to get the application over the hump. Steven Beales, chief software architect at Mdlogix (Medical Decision Logic) said Mdlogix views Rails as the most productive tool it has for developing simple-looking Web applications with advanced functionality. However, Mdlogix is also using Rails for enterprise development. And for enterprise organizations concerned about issues of scalability and performance with Rails, help is on the way. A startup called New Relic, backed by venture capital firm Benchmark Capital, and particularly by Benchmark General Partner Peter Fenton, who has made some big bets in funding companies like JBoss, Red Hat, MySQL and SpringSource, has launched to address Ruby on Rails application performance management. Ruby shines on all platforms. Click here to read more. New Relic announced on May 1 that it had received $3.5 million in first-round venture financing from Benchmark Capital. The company plans to use the funds to drive product development and to expand sales and marketing programs, and Fenton will join its board of directors. New Relic RPM, a subscription-based Rails performance management solution, enables developers to quickly and cost effectively detect, diagnose and fix application performance problems in real time, the company said. This SAAS (software as a service) offering is currently available to a limited customer base as a private beta, but will be generally available to the entire Ruby on Rails community soon. Lewis Cirne, founder of New Relic, founded Wily Technology in 1998, which provided the same type of solution for Java. Cirne said he views Rails as the same kind of game-changing technology that Java has proven to be. Cirne eventually sold Wily to CA. "The critiques we hear about Rails [are] it's not scalable, that it's not well-suited for mission-critical applications," Fenton said. "I think those critiques are similar in nature to what we heard about Java in the mid-90s." However, to find problems and to help applications scale, "You have to find out where the bottlenecks are," which is what New Relic does, Fenton said. "The monitoring insight New Relic has is to provide visibility without adding overhead." Moreover, Fenton, who said Cirne's Wily Technology firm was the first investment he made at Benchmark, added that Benchmark's commitment to Rails is as deep as its commitment to Java in the '90s. "Couple that with cloud computing and this [Rails] could be much more rapidly adopted than Java," Fenton said. Moreover, Fenton said he believes Rails could be "as big a force for change for developers" as cloud computing may be. "We're really excited about the software-as-a-service model," Cirne said. He said New Relic will officially launch in 30 to 60 days. The company's private beta consists of about 50 customers that New Relic is helping to scale their Rails applications. And Cirne said the company will offer a developer version of its solution to complement the production version of RPM.

I just felt strange on that Monday afternoon. I told my wife that there was something wrong. I took some aspirin and called 9-1-1. Less than 15 minutes after making the call I was in Crestwood’s ER. 41 minutes later, I had a stent in place through emergent balloon angioplasty and was being wheeled out of the Cardiac Cath lab. Well under an hour from the time I left my house in an ambulance to the time my procedure was complete…wow! It was rapid and my cardiologist detected no damage to my heart muscle. Ten days later, I returned to Crestwood to have two more blockages cleared and stents placed via an elective balloon angioplasty. Thanks to Crestwood, there was barely any interruption in my consulting work. My wife and I continue to volunteer with Meals on Wheels and other programs as we always have. Now we also walk our dog, Shelby, everyday. We’ve always been “healthy” eaters but now we try to make even better choices.

Supporting colleagues and inspiring students is a huge part of the middle leader's role, but how do you maintain a healthy work-life balance? According to the government’s Teacher Workload Survey, middle leaders and classroom teachers work more than 53 hours a week. Many middle leaders would likely tell you that the hours they spend driving school improvement do not leave much time for anything else. But, with a few changes to the way you work, you can make some key efficiency gains. Here are my four top tips to save time and help you work towards a healthier work-life balance. Good middle leaders bring out the best in their teams and you know the strengths and skills of the staff in your department. By nurturing your staff and supporting the professional development of your team, you will be in a much stronger position to be able to delegate. Carry out regular appraisals and identify opportunities for training and development. This is crucial to ensuring you can build a team with the confidence and skills to rise to a challenge and take on some of the important responsibilities of the department. Middle leaders turn school or academy group strategy into outstanding classroom practice every day. But this can only be achieved with a clear understanding of school performance. Your school or MAT is measured against the Department for Education’s (DfE) local and national school performance criteria, so engage your team in monitoring the school’s success in meeting these. One way to do this is to make the school’s improvement plan the focus of department meetings. Give staff access to the pupil data in your school’s management information system (MIS), too. A clear picture of achievement is essential for measuring the impact of interventions and monitoring the performance of pupils and groups, such as children on free school meals or the gifted and talented, to keep them on track. Responsibility for raising standards is at the heart of a middle leader’s role and can make for a heavy workload, but with the help of colleagues, your school can realise some quick wins. If a student group is underperforming in English, but doing well in geography, engage the team in identifying what it is that the geography department is doing so successfully. Is it a different teaching style or a new resource that has helped pupils progress, for example? It might be possible to adapt best practice for other subject areas. Encourage colleagues to adopt a whole-school approach to recording data such as details of attendance, achievement and conduct. This is essential to getting a holistic picture of progress across the school. Spending hours trawling through the school system to find the information you need can contribute to a burgeoning workload. Provide the tools staff need to analyse data simply. This will ensure consistency, help you to sharpen the focus on pupil outcomes and support progress towards your school improvement objectives. Your school’s data manager can ensure easy access to key pupil data across your team to help them make informed decisions, quickly. When stored centrally, there is no need for information to be keyed in multiple times by different staff members too. This saves time and makes it easier for your team to access the data needed to bring your school’s improvement plan to life. With the help of a talented team, the support of colleagues and up-to-the minute data on pupil progress, middle leaders can take several steps nearer to achieving the ultimate goal of a healthy work-life balance. For more information, read a middle leader’s guide to data.
Supporting colleagues and inspiring students is a huge part of the middle leader 's role , but how do you maintain a healthy work - life balance ? According to the government ’s Teacher Workload Survey , middle leaders and classroom teachers work more than 53 hours a week . Many middle leaders would likely tell you that the hours they spend driving school improvement do not leave much time for anything else . But , with a few changes to the way you work , you can make some key efficiency gains . Here are my four top tips to save time and help you work towards a healthier work - life balance . Good middle leaders bring out the best in their teams and you know the strengths and skills of the staff in your department . By nurturing your staff and supporting the professional development of your team , you will be in a much stronger position to be able to delegate . Carry out regular appraisals and identify opportunities for training and development .

The EU project ELVITEN will start soon the demonstration of Electric Light Vehicles (EL-Vs): from the end of this month, three of the six ELVITEN pilot sites will deploy electric tricycles, quadricycles, and electric bikes. The city of Trikala, Málaga and Genoa will have in total 60 vehicles (40 electric bikes, 10 three-wheelers and 10 four-wheelers) at the disposal of their citizens for a year. The city of Málaga will also provide charging points and lockers for the e-bikes and ad-hoc applications to encourage the use of EL-Vs. ELVITEN partners will track the use of the EL-Vs and collect the data generated to evaluate the usefulness of this type of vehicles in the cities. FIA Region I is in charge of different aspects of the project. It is responsible for raising awareness of the project in all the participating cities, by running the campaign #LetsGoElectric. Under the coordination of FIA Region I, the cities are also appointing campaign ambassadors, well-known personalities who will be promoting ELVITEN in the cities. Furthermore, FIA Region I oversees the branding of the ELVITEN vehicles provided by the Swiss company Kyburz, one of the 21 project partner, and by S3 Transportation. FIA Region I will ensure that the vehicles’ branding will fulfill the communication objectives of the project and will generate enough curiosity and therefore encourage citizens to join the awareness campaign activities. FIA Region I is one of the partners of the ELVITEN project, which seeks to make users more familiar with EL-Vs and encourage their use for both private transport and light urban delivery. In addition, the project aims to collect real usage data and develop detailed guidelines and business models. It promotes electric bicycles, scooters, tricycles and quadricycles to guarantee a sustainable transportation system.

These Revolver boots were designed from many of the original pictures of the early Beatles wearing the boots, most of which were from the Sullivan era. Photo's from a Hard Day's Night were also used as guides to their authenticity. These Boots are hand made by a master craftsmen bootmaker that uses the softest , highest quality leather available today. Just as the outside of boot is high quality the inside as well is beautifully made, unlike many I have seen and bought myself. I too was in a Beatle Tribute band called Meet Revolver and played Ringo. I had the cheap boots (Blems)from another online source and they looked unfinished on the inside and very uncomfortable. They only offered one width and I have wide feet 4E. So I decided to create my own boots in any width and any size and make them with high-end materials with a master craftsmen and came up with the Revolver boot. Most Beatle boots out their don't use the double stitch like the Original Beatle Boots had. Revolver boots have the double stitch. I have seen Italian, German and USA bootmakers and these far surpass the quality and durability and cost of custom boots! I've been wearing "Beatles" Cuban heeled boots for most of my adult life and I've been looking for a well made pair for decades and then I found your boots. The quality of the components are superb and I get compliments about them all the time. The leather is the most beautiful and softest I've ever seen boots made of.. Thank you for selling them to me.

Why should we be shocked? It is only a matter of time until her opinion becomes predominant in our country. Just look at Europe who is ten years ahead of us. Catholics beware! Homeschoolers, watch out! Even now the Federal Government is saying that homeschooling is not a right in their attempt to send a German homeschooling family back to German who is here on asylum. Listen to this 30 second clip of MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry.

Shōgo Sakamoto will perform opening theme song Karakara no Kokoro (Dried-Up Heart), while pile provides closing theme song BJ. Doreiku: The Animation is based on Shinichi Okada and artist Hiroto Ōishi’s Doreiku: Boku to 23-nin no Dorei (Slave District: 23 Slaves and Me) manga. The series began its life as light novel series Boku to 23-nin no Dorei, which originally appeared on novel site Everystar. Futabasha picked up the rights to the series, which they began publishing the title under their main banner. Three volumes, along with sequel story Doreiku 2nd Shinjuku Kikō Kai and 23-nin no Dorei.ex have been released to date.

Written and directed by Ryōichi Kuratani (Tsugumomno, Ai Tenchi Muyo!), DOREIKU: The Animation will leave the viewer questioning society’s morality and wondering how far they would go if they were given ultimate control..

The idea for Yordex was born from a simple question: why are many Finance processes still so manual? Why do month ends still take up to 2 weeks? Why does it take 10 days on average to approve an invoice? Why is it so hard for Finance to keep track of spending plans? At Yordex we believe the root cause is the way Finance teams communicate with employees, suppliers and customers. Today, this communication happens through countless emails, documents and spreadsheets. The Finance team then has to process this data and enter it into their systems. Not only is this time consuming, low added value work, it also leads to significant delays in the availability of data. A better ERP system won't fix this, a new way of Finance communications is required. This communication should be simple, so employees, suppliers and customers can use it, it should be structured, so the data can be entered directly into your systems, and it should be controlled. To meet these requirements, we created "Smart Order" technology. These orders know who needs to do what when and guide users through the correct process every time. Benefits of this approach include real-time visibility into spending plans, saving up to 75% of cost processing budgets, invoices and payments, reduced errors and fraud, improved working capital, fast setup and many others. Committed to help our customers transform their Finance processes. We want to build a company that people love to work with and for. We don't sell technology, we sell a service. Our mission is to help companies collaborate better with their suppliers, whatever it takes. Even inside our company everything we do is a service that people offer to other people. We believe in flat, agile organisations. In our opinion, they provide the best way to stay service-centric and enjoy our work. Of course, it is easy for a startup to be flat and agile, and we have worked in enough big companies to understand the lure of centralisation, but we are determined to make this work at Yordex no matter how big we get. B2B trade is global and so are we. So far we have 7 nationalities on a team of 11 people and counting. We love our home town London, but we look forward to the days we can be local in lots of places. Reduce invoice processing costs, improve visibility and working capital. Erik has a long background in building new businesses, both within larger companies and in startups. In his last job Erik was responsible for launching Worldpay Online Payments which he and the team took from idea to fast-growing business. Erik has an MSc in Computer Science an MBA from INSEAD.

Emulator of Atari 2600 video gaming console was the first emulator that I've made and it has been almost four years since the first Pantheon, which included 48 Atari 2600 games, was released. Pantheon now has more than 400 Atari 2600 games in its library, and I plan to add more games for the next release. Atari 2600 was very popular for years and has hundreds of games available. Despite the fact, that its hardware capabilities were quite poor (128 bytes of RAM), programmers soon learned how to push its hardware's capabilities and made some incredible and unique games. Activision released Dolphin in 1983, and the game was not very successful. It is fast-paced action game, where you control a dolphin, haunted by a giant squid. There are barriers in the sea and if you hit a barrier, you will slow down for a moment. There is a gap in each barrier, and you must swim through it, but the game is fast and you will not have a time to react, once the barrier comes on screen. So you must focus on the tone, that is played a few seconds before the barrier comes on screen: the higher the frequency of the tone, the higher the gap in the barrier will be.
