I use Twitter every day for personal and professional purposes, to stay informed about a broad range of subjects (going from highly technical topics to announcements about the next season of my little pony). I also do not want to keep an eye permanently on my web browser to check for tweets, and enjoy using a command line interface. Good news: a brave fellow put this together into one program: TTYtter. Well, it's a command line Twitter client, programmed in Perl. Either fetch the tarball from here, or just apt-get install ttytter on a recent Debian/Ubuntu machine! Then just start ttytter in your terminal and let it guide you to obtain a OAuth key to authenticate with Twitter. When you start TTYtter, you'll be greeted by status messages, then the most recent events from your timeline. Then, a prompt appears to wait for your instructions. [DM da0][AFriendOfMine/Wed Aug 13 05:34:19 +0000 2014] Hello, wanna hang out tonight ? You can just type "/" and tab if you want to get every operation you might want to do, as simple as that. And the command names are intuitive enough to be guessed if you are already a frequent Twitter user :). Now just go, tweet it! PS: I'm currently testing a similar alternative, named RainbowSteam, maybe I'll do another post about it if it proves as useful as TTYtter.

Gabi gives everybody a small piece of paper. A pencil is going around and she collects the papers. Gabi is the delegada of the cartoneros. She takes the responsibility that everything goes well. Although it looks like chaos, they are well organised. We wait for the Tren Blanco and they chose Fidel as their second delegado. He will go on the first train and she will take the last one, the 12 o'clock one. "And what does it earn," I ask him a few days later. "A headache," he answers. He went in the morning to a meeting of the delegados with the train-company in San Martin. "Did you talk a lot," I ask. "No, just 15 seconds."

Next week, Broadway megahit, Wicked, arrives at Shea's for a three-week engagement. The role of Madame Morrible, teacher of the Wicked Witch of the West, will be played by an actor with strong connections to the Buffalo theater community, Tony Award nominee Isabel Keating. Keating earned her Tony nod for playing Judy Garland opposite Hugh Jackman as Peter Allen in The Boy from Oz in 2003. She has also appeared on Broadway in Hairspray; Enchanted April; Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark; and It's Only a Play. Early in her career, however, she worked at Bristol Valley Playhouse in the Finger Lakes town of Naples. There, she met such Buffalo theater folk as actor Norm Sham of the Kavinoky Theatre and his brother Peter; Randall Kramer, now artistic director of MusicalFare; performer Joseph Mahan, a Geneva, NY native who worked in Buffalo for several year before relocating to New York City; and actor Lisa Ludwig, who is now the managing director of Shakespeare in Delaware Park. Keating's most recent Broadway outing was as the standby for Stockard Channing who played Hollywood star Virginia Noyes in the all-star company of Terrence McNally's hit, It's Only a Play. The cast also featured F. Murray Abraham, Matthew Broderick, Rupert Grint, Nathan Lane, and Megan Mullally. That prediction proved wrong when Channing injured her knee and had to miss several performances previous to the show's official opening. Keating enjoys the traditions and the coincidences that happen in the theater. Since Wicked opened in 2003, many actors from Carole Shelley to Carol Kane to Rue McClanahan have played Morrible. It pleases Keating to be wearing costume first built for Patty Duke to wear on tour. Keating views her performance in Wicked as the culmination of a long Judy Garland journey. Then she did a show called "Judy's Scary Little Christmas," in which she did a comical version of Judy in the afterlife. The show was The Boy from Oz. Finally she would get the chance to embody Judy realistically. Her effort would earn her a Tony nomination. Keating also notes that a Tony nomination does not mean that she no longer has to audition. Thanks to her effort, Buffalo gets to see Isabel Keating as Madame Morrible starting next week. Her role in Wicked has another interesting connection to other parts of Keating's career. While Idina Menzel first played the role on Broadway, in the original reading of Wicked, Elphaba (the Witch of the West) was played by Stephanie J. Block. Subsequently, Block made her Broadway debut as Liza Minnelli, opposite Keating's Judy Garland in The Boy from Oz. "This role in Wicked completes the circle!" says Keating.

5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." 6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now." 11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

I recently acquired a Livescribe Echo Smartpen to use and found it to be very useful. The Livescribe smartpens are pretty cool. They record what you write, and hear, and then you can load this into your computer to keep a digital copy of your written notes and even share your notes with others. Your notes get synced to your computer using a mini-usb cable and the Livescribe desktop application. There is also an application that you can get that will transcribe your handwritten notes into digital typeset notes. You can even search for words in your notes. The desktop application allows you to organize your notes and shows a thumbnail of each notebook. You can then view each notebook page and page forward and backward. The pen is controlled by tapping on certain symbols in the notebook, which is pretty cool. You use this to select other applications in the pen, start, stop, and playback audio recordings and more. Inside the front cover of the Livescribe notebooks is a "calculator" that allows you to use the pen as a calculator. There are also controls on each page that allow you to change the volume on the pen, jump around your recordings, and even bookmark a spot in your notes. You can share your notes and recordings as a pencast, PDF, or audio file. The desktop application has one-click sharing with Evernote, Facebook, Google Docs and Email. This means you can always have your notes available to you. You can also sync your pen notes to multiple computers. During meetings, one person can be the official note-taker and then share the notes out with everyone else. There are apps available also that you can download to add more functionality to your pen, including dictionaries, translators, games, productivity tools and more. There is a vibrant user community and support team as well as resources for using the Livescribe Pens in Education. These pens are great for taking notes and then sharing and saving them. I can see a lot of great uses for these in education. The site has some great tips and uses for using the pens in school and even has reports of how the pens have helped increase student achievement. The Livescribe help website is easy to use and understand and makes using these pens very easy. Set up only takes a couple of minutes. The model I have is an 8GB pen. You get the desktop software, stylus tip, two ink cartridges, the cable, a starter notebook, and 500MB of personal online storage. The 8GB Echo retails for $199 so it's not cheap, but it is another tool that can be very useful in education, business, and even just for taking personal notes. The 2GB pen is only $99. There are discount prices available to educators, anyone interested can email educationsales@livescribe.com for details.

Along with changes in food, starting early in the 20th century, governments have issued nutrition guidelines, leading to the food pyramid[13] (introduced in Sweden in 1974). The 1916 "Food For Young Children" became the first USDA guide to give specific dietary guidelines. Updated in the 1920s, these guides gave shopping suggestions for different-sized families along with a Depression Era revision which included four cost levels. In 1943, the USDA created the "Basic Seven" chart to make sure that people got the recommended nutrients. It included the first-ever Recommended Daily Allowances from the National Academy of Sciences. In 1956, the "Essentials of an Adequate Diet" brought recommendations which cut the number of groups that American school children would learn about down to four. In 1979, a guide called "Food" addressed the link between too much of certain foods and chronic diseases, but added "fats, oils, and sweets" to the four basic food groups. Some wines are packaged in thick plastic bags within corrugated fiberboard boxes, and are called "box wines", or "cask wine". Tucked inside the package is a tap affixed to the bag in box, or bladder, that is later extended by the consumer for serving the contents. Box wine can stay acceptably fresh for up to a month after opening because the bladder collapses as wine is dispensed, limiting contact with air and, thus, slowing the rate of oxidation. In contrast, bottled wine oxidizes more rapidly after opening because of the increasing ratio of air to wine as the contents are dispensed; it can degrade considerably in a few days. Cans are one of the fastest-growing forms of alternative wine packaging on the market.[138] Communication between the Old World and the New World in the Columbian Exchange influenced the history of cooking. The movement of foods across the Atlantic, from the New World, such as potatoes, tomatoes, maize, beans, bell pepper, chili pepper, vanilla, pumpkin, cassava, avocado, peanut, pecan, cashew, pineapple, blueberry, sunflower, chocolate, gourds, and squash, had a profound effect on Old World cooking. The movement of foods across the Atlantic, from the Old World, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, wheat, oats, barley, rice, apples, pears, peas, chickpeas, green beans, mustard, and carrots, similarly changed New World cooking.[11] Some foods not from animal or plant sources include various edible fungi, especially mushrooms. Fungi and ambient bacteria are used in the preparation of fermented and pickled foods like leavened bread, alcoholic drinks, cheese, pickles, kombucha, and yogurt. Another example is blue-green algae such as Spirulina.[6] Inorganic substances such as salt, baking soda and cream of tartar are used to preserve or chemically alter an ingredient.

You are looking at a gorgeous 1930's creamy white net wedding tiara, which features a band of wax orange blossoms along the edge. The center of the band features a small cluster of wax orange blossoms, giving it a more dramatic look. There are five wax orange blossom pieces on each side of the center cluster; the cluster features nine wax orange blossoms. I don't see any flaws in any of the wax blossoms, other than a bit a discoloration on one or two. In the front & back of the wax blossoms is a row of ruffled netting, which is almost 1" long. The bottom & top of the tiara features a metal band; in the center portion of the tiara, there are thin pliable bands as well, which help keep the shape. All the pliable metal pieces are covered in creamy white netting. There is a piece of elastic along the bottom edge, which is in perfect condition; there's a lot of stretch to it. The creamy white netted veil has unfinished bottom edges, and I only see one small hole in the netting, towards the bottom (see last pic). This is certainly wearable as is, unless you'd like to add lace to the edges. The circumference of the inner crown is 14", not counting the 5 ½" long piece of elastic. The center of the crown is approx. 3" tall, measuring from the front and going over the flowers. The longest portion of the veil is approx. 40" & the shortest portion is approx. 30". This beautiful vintage wedding tiara/veil will be perfect to use with your vintage or vintage inspired wedding dress. Where You Will Always Find Exceptional Treasures From the Past. Welcome to my shop, where quality & satisfaction is guaranteed. LAYAWAYS AVAILABLE. ALL REASONABLE OFFERS CONSIDERED.

An new report indicates sheds light on how the virus is rapidly spreading. Scientists have made a discovery regarding the Zika outbreak that suggests the virus may be tough to stop. Scientists at Emory University have found a strong link between sexually active women and infection rates of the Zika virus that indicate that sexual transmission may be the most likely way this disease is spreading, according to a Cell Press statement. It's an alarming finding that both provides hope of finding a better way to treat it and also shows it may be quite difficult to stop. Researchers examined Zika infections based on the age of those who get the virus, and found that women who were at sexually active ages between 15 and 65 were 90 percent more likely than men of the same age. The Zika virus is spread by mosquitoes and can cause miscarriages or stillbirths, even though symptoms in people who actually have it are usually quite mild. The outbreak began in South American but has quickly spread northward and has made its way into the United States. "One group has recently discovered viral antigen in Hofbauer cells collected from placental tissue of a fetus that unfortunately died as a result of Zika virus infection," says senior author and Assistant Professor in Pediatrics at the Emory University School of Medicine, Mehul Suthar, in the statement. "Our study indicates that this cell type may be a target for Zika virus in the placenta and replication in these cells may allow the virus to cross the placental barrier and enter the fetal circulation," adds co-author Rana Chakraborty, a pediatric infectious disease specialist, also at Emory.

Fix scrollbar spacing when no scrollbar is visible in dolphin. Review Request #113902 - Created Nov. 16, 2013 and submitted Nov. 18, 2013, 10:44 p.m. 2. the theme has a positive PM_ScrollView_ScrollBarSpacing. QtCurve can have both while Oxygen have 1 but not 2. To reproduce the problem with Oxygen style. Replace the `width += ....` (which returns -2 or 0 for Oxygen) with `width += 2`. Compiled and it fixes the problem. Nov. 17, 2013, 11:27 a.m. Thanks for the patch! I cannot test it at the moment, but only taking the scrollbar spacing into account if a scroll bar is shown looks very reasonable. Concerning the branches: KDE/4.11 is sufficient for bug fixes. We merge KDE/4.11 into KDE/4.12 and KDE/4.12 into master regularly. Do you have a KDE git account? Yichao Yu Nov. 18, 2013, 2:02 p.m. No I don't have an KDE git account yet. I can ask someone else to push it for me but it will also be very nice if you could push this. Nov. 18, 2013, 2:01 p.m. Nov. 18, 2013, 10:44 p.m. This review has been submitted with commit 39e7ba46e87a49b574f45e2f13b0f61ff8a32fd3 by Frank Reininghaus on behalf of Yichao Yu to branch KDE/4.11.

Q: `apollo-link-state` and `vuex`,which one should I use for state management when I use `vue-apollo`? apollo-link-state and vuex,which one should I use for state management when I use vue-apollo? https://github.com/Akryum/vue-apollo A: Hey i just came across this issue with a project i was working on. I don't think it really matters what one you use they both do the same thing in a different way. You might want to compare file sizes though as i did not. Vuex is pretty straight forward compared to apollo-link-state IMO. I didn't want to figure out how to write resolvers in the FE code. In the end I ended up going with Vuex just because i was familiar with it.

Armstrong on Clueless Tolley Nats substitute tax cuts for economic plan Coleman bites off more than he can chew Written By: Eddie - Date published: 5:34 pm, February 18th, 2010 - 80 comments Categories: Media, national - Tags: facebook, jonathan coleman, radio nz Broadcasting Minister Jonathan Coleman may have bitten off more than he can chew with his attack on Radio New Zealand. With his distaste for the very concept of public broadcasting a matter of public record it seems unlikely it ever crossed Coleman's mind that New Zealanders might actually like Radio NZ and want it to be properly resourced. Now, the backlash is beginning. Take the Save Radio New Zealand group on Facebook. Set up late last night after the story broke on One News, the group already has 1700 2800 3500 supporters and is currently growing at a rate of 10 more every minute. The comments on the group's wall really paint a picture of the range of people affected by the funding cuts and what RNZ means to them: Bridget Sullivan Radio New Zealand has provided me and a whole lot of mothers all over with New Zealand with 24 hour company when stuck home with young kids – it's enjoyable, interesting, and intellectually stimulating – changing Radio NZ's funding structure will lead to inevitable changes in its format and just corrode its appeal and make it the same as all the other stations over time. Grant Collie living and working in the Rangitikei, Afternoons on FM is a great background and I have no interest in listening to the mindless pap on commercial stations when I am sober! Public broadcasting is a right for taxpayers Mr Coleman and why the hell should we rural folks have to put up with AM reception just because you and your cohorts have no concept of community needs. Robyn Hunt As a person who is vision impaired, Radio NZ is a very important part of my life. Couln't bear to see it dumbed down. Where would I get my news and current affairs that I don't have to read. And I would very much miss Concert FM. And as one commentator points out, this is an issue that for many people cuts to the core about what it means to be a New Zealander: Stephen Stedman Radio New Zealand is doing a magnificent job. It is a beacon. A place for good quality news coverage, political debate and a broadcaster that has immersed itself in the culture of New Zealand. We get to hear our stories. We get to participate.. It helps us to understand & celebrate our cultural identity. Without RNZ and the Student & community stations we would be living in vacuum and that's scary. They are also an important archive of NZ culture and history. It appears we have a government that doesn't want to run the country, they just want to run the economy. They clearly don't understand the bigger concepts of what a Nation is. Of course, a Facebook group alone doesn't make a campaign, but it's a sign people are starting to organise. There's enough anger and passion here to make life for Jonathan Coleman very difficult if he continues to undermine our last bastion of public service broadcasting. The challenge will be to channel that anger into real world action. 80 comments on "Coleman bites off more than he can chew " Coleman is one of the more odious National MPs, not easy to do! Unfortunately his majority is 10,000 so he should be safe, Unless there is a big swing … Coleman seems to being doing his best to reduce that majority and induce a swing 😉 Dan 3 Tolley, Bennett, Brownlee, Coleman: the list is getting longer and more public. Radio NZ gone, night classes gone, national standards farce, mining of national parks. Time for a change! Fisiani 3.1 Duh Radio NZ is NOT gone Duh Night classes are NOT gone. (More than 900 this year at Wellington High School according to Dompost) Duh National Standards will be a force. Duh Surgical Mining of National Parks and a boost to Conservation. Win win. Duh We ARE getting the change we need after 9 wasted years. [lprent: Banned for two weeks. That should be sufficient time for you to educate yourself on how to leave links when you make assertions. I'm tired of reminding you. Remind me in two weeks to release the auto-moderation. I suspect that (from memory) dropping the budgets of night schools from 18 million to 3 million means that it is unlikely that any school would be able to increase their roll using that budget. In other words I think that you are lying – as you have before on this site. Hint – if you don't know how to do links – then educate yourself – read the FAQ ] Fisiani 3.1.1 For goodness sake . I made not one assertion, Everything I wrote is a Fact. [lprent: Unsupported facts, which may have been extracted from your navel lint for all we know, ARE assertions. If you track back through the comments you've made, you've been repeatably requested by myself and others to provide links too support your assertions. You've chosen to ignore those requests. The standard on this site is that if you assert a Fact, then you can be requested to support your assertion with a link so others can examine what you're looking at and to make their own determination about the validity of your source. This prevents people from just making crap up, and reduces the probability of flamewars that I have to suppress (see the policy to find out what I feel about flamewars). The other commentators have been very patient in requesting backup links from you and getting no response. That is because they know what I'll eventually do. An educational ban. Don't whine – take responsibility for your lack of reaction to relatively polite requests. ] Bed Rater 3.1.1.1 Good God, lprent, you're not supposed to make it that obvious. Interesting you don't step in with a heavy hand when those from the other end of the political spectrum make their emotional factless assertions. lprent 3.1.1.1.1 …those from the other end of the political spectrum make their emotional factless assertions. I think that you're referring to people expressing opinions (ie 'factless') rather than asserting 'facts'. It is the latter that need supporting links. The former has to be expressed as an opinion, and usually is. You'll find other people expressing their opinions or countering/supporting with facts. That is discussion.. However asserting a 'fact' and then not supporting it doesn't help discussion at all. All it does is lead to noisy flaming. But you're correct that there is a systematic bias over 'facts' – but not from the moderators – from the commentators. Those on the left do comply with the local standards more than those on the right. Sometimes the number of links that they provide are a bit over the top. That is why they are the ones that know the anti-spam limits for links on this site (eg travellev and others) Jenny 3.1.1.1.2 Hey Bed Wetter, this is just the sort of thing Iprent is trying to stop. Where are your links to prove your smear of bias in The Standard? Nowhere, that's where. Sam 3.1.1.2 About time. Goodbye, amateur troll. Duh, Fisiani proving that he's bought all the crap that NACT+MP have been saying without any critical thought. We're not getting the change we need – we're getting the change the owners wanted to line their pockets with our wealth. Funding being cut to RNZ is just the NACT+MP parties trying to pull the wool even further over our eyes so that we have an even harder time picking up the simple fact that they're shafting us. illuminatedtiger 4 Perhaps Coleman could get BAT to sponsor Concert FM. big bruv 5 This is the sort of thing I want to see from the Nat's, personally I would like them to sell RNZ completely but that is not going to happen during this term. No government (be it right, left or middle) has any place owning a radio station or a TV network. I must admit that I take great joy from seeing the way the left have reacted to the news that Radio left wing is under threat, mind you, it can be no more than you expected given the way the deck was stacked in your favour for the nine of the last ten years. At least Coleman is not going to pass a law that says RNZ cannot attack the government as Labour did during its last term. As usual you have NO IDEA of what you are talking about! Show me a democratic govt that doesn't have a impartial public broadcasting service, and I'll show you a failed state. Ours has a clear charter of no political interference or bias.. Commercial broadcasters on the other hand have no such restrictions, and their news items are clearly the poorer for it. Bill 5.1.1 I'm sure you can substitute RNZ for BBC in the excerpt below and the argument in relation to the bias of state broadcasters remains unaltered. "In our research we consider the history, orientation and constitution of the BBC and hypothesise that one of the key constraints on its reporting can be accounted for by its organisational culture – it is essentially a liberal-nationalist organisation. The BBC's job is to hold a "nation' together, so the underlying presumption in its activity is that there is "a Britain' and Britain is good. Right from the outset, the objective of the BBC was to inculcate a national culture, to "improve' the minds and culture of "a people', a natural duty of a national broadcaster. However, the concept of the nation in this instance has always been bound to a class perspective – consider, for example, that "regional' (read: class) accents were forbidden until relatively recently. Foolish people consider the BBC to be the instrument of the government. It is not. It is the instrument of the state (regardless of which particular government is in power), which itself is developed around class interest. The BBC was set up to promote this particular class-bound vision." (from part 2 of the link provided) http://www.newleftproject.org/index.php/site/article_comments/venezuela_and_the_bbc_-_part_1/ Classical Liberal 5.1.1.1 When viewed through a "class based" lens then Coleman's actions are understandable and will not be swayed by 17,000 let alone 1,700 Face Bookers. Again borrowing from the British context I'm sure Coleman is repeating the phrase first attributed to Harold McMillan – Yes it's class war and we won! Bill 5.1.1.1.1 Jesus fucking christ I get sick and tired of dumb fucks like you CL. Did you actually read the words that followed on one from the other in either the quote or the article it was lifted from? The dominant class interests are promoted and reinforced through state media. That's the same fucking class that Coleman belongs to. Galeandra 5.1.2 Don't exercise yourself. BB is just a thick troll in search of a bridge to live under. Cnr Joe 5.2 such a good point the right managed to get elected even though this socialist mindwarper was so all controlling is it big bruv? 9 years of thought control through gov fm was it? but somehow the erstwhile natsis gained the upper hand – a firm footing – and triumphed so why harry the vanquished big bruv? kick 'em when they're down mm? Lanthanide 5.3 Is there any way to ignore comments from certain users? BB has just proved he's nothing but a mindless troll. felix 5.3.1 The scroll button seems to work for bb 😉 There are none so blind….. Have you ever really listened to Radio left wing with an open mind Marco? (actually, don't answer that, of course you have not) Just because you happen to agree with most of what you hear on RNZ does not make it impartial. A government owning a broadcasting network is a very dangerous thing, I can well imagine how RNZ and TVNZ would have further come under the influence of Clark had she managed to con the people of NZ into a fourth term. We may agree on the quality of commercial broadcasters but that is not the issue, the public should not have to fund a radio station or TV network, that is for private enterprise, the owners of those companies are then free to put their own bias or spin on what ever they like, the public are the ones who will judge and that commercial enterprise will live and die by its ratings. I can see you are very angry about this Marco, get used to it, things are going to change over the next nine years, granted, they might not happen as fast as I would like but then as long as Labour keep going about being the opposition the way they currently are then I cannot see a time in the near future when you guys will ever get back the treasury benches. By that time I hope Key and the Nat's have sold off the lot! andy (the other one) 6.1 Have you ever really listened to any radio station in NZ wing with an open mind BB? (actually, don't answer that, of course you have not). BB the thing about Nat Radio that you miss is it was one of the only stations free to air that really put the acid on the previous government. They did the job other media couldn't or didn't. Would you be happy with the next government being a left wing coalition and no one to hold them to account, let me answer that for you, NO!!!!!! As much as you whine and whinge about it being 'lefty' with no actual proof of such, they play a vital role of holding all governments to account regardless of stripe. you happy with the $300 million spend on the Rugby world cup on behalf of the NZ tax payer? I suspect your idea of the NZ culture and identity is a silver fern flag and a steinlager branded t-shirt. Just to add I don't listen in all that often. big bruv 6.1.1 andy (the other one) No I am bloody not!, if the rugby public or the NZRU want the RWC then they should bloody well pay for it themselves. Now Andy, can I ask you if you were happy that Labour gave 50 odd million for a bunch of millionaires to go charging around in boats? As for the flag, leave it as it is thanks, I despise the white feather on a black background that so many confuse as a silver fern. And give me a Guinness or Caffrey's any day of the week over that crap called Steinlager. Matt 6.2 Why is it more dangerous for a government to own a radio station than it is for a corporation? I would have thought that at least with the government radio station a) it is owned by the people and b) there is transparency around its workings. I think Fox News is a good argument for all the RNZ, ABC, BBC, CBC's around the world. Added to all that is the fact that you get decent quality broadcasting as well. (anti-spam word Owners) vto 7 Why would making the station more like the stations that most New Zealanders listen to be dumbing it down? Are most New Zealanders dumber than you? No – but most radio stations are dumber than RNZ. Anyway, why can't we have choice? Why does everything have to rush for the middle (of the road) ground? Cnr Joe 7.1.1 and that shlock is some supposed 'middle'? felix 7.1.1.1 Thing about the "middle of the road" is there's nothing much there 'cept for white paint and dead animals. Mac1 7.1.1.1.1 Another thing about the middle of the road is that you can meet opposing traffic, and don't the Nats hate that. The Voice of Reason 7.2 Because they're dumb, vto. I'm not being nasty about it, most stations do not pretend to be intelligent. Ever listened to the Rock? The Edge? Radio Live? They are not there to enhance, educate or uplift their listeners, they are there to sell advertising. I have no problem with that, but I want a choice. It's not like I think RNZ is perfect. The whole 'Radio New Zealand National' debacle springs to mind. Not too many posts here using those wank words. But as I say, I want a choice and I choose RNZ. Charlotte 7.3 Dumbing down does not mean most New Zealanders are stupid. It means someone who is in charge of a TV/ radio station or a mag decides to put half witted content out there for us to "enjoy"' People relax differently. I personally like to be stimulated and not forced to listen to or read gossip. We shouldn't have to use the internet to get a decent radio station. I choose to listen to BBC4 and BBC7 as I like plays and comedy. I also love listening to National radio(radio and internet if out of country) to hear interviews with a broad section of people on a huge variety of topics. Up to 2300 fans on FB now. Including me. Forced me to finally get a facebook login. The state, not the government owns radio nz ffs. Or you tguys hink each time there is a change in government that ownership papers are exchanged? How's that work in an MMP environment? If you ask most RNZ workers they'll say they are employed by the public. Does the government of New Zealand own a newspaper? Wouldn't have thought so, v. How can a government own anything? vto 10.1.1 Through possession of the biggest guns in town.. No more no less. True dat. To ask another way, what does the NZ government own? Nothing much I would've thought. vto 10.1.2.1 je ne sais pas. et soundz like ze trick question felix 10.1.2.1.1 vell i vaz ezpekteen ze trick anzer… Marty G 10.2 vto. It does. It's called the New Zealand Gazette. Macro 10.2.1 And its a very important publication too – things actually don't happen until they are gazetted. mickysavage 11 I regret to admit that the wingnut theory that RNZ is a left wing bastion is unfortunately true. This is because it prefers evidence based analysis and calm discussion to reach a conclusion about issues. Wingnuts hate this. They prefer shouting and thumping of chests and think that if the rules were changed to allow their preferred behaviour to dominate they will do better and who cares about the rest and the environment. I am not surprised that Coleman and the wingnuts want to destroy RNZ. I just wonder why they took so long … As was said prior to the election – if anyone knew what the right actually wanted they wouldn't have been voted in. The whole point of National's election campaign was to make themselves look like Labour only slightly different. The truth though, as people are starting to wake up to, is that they're a bunch of right wing radicals that don't have a single moral to share between them. yes well I listen to it I have to admit. And more than any other station. But sometimes all that talk drives me bananas. Anyways all the arguments are well known. However there no need to try to advance ones preferred argument by pilloring others. Trying to go forward by pulling others backwards has never been that successful. Just ask someone successful. Stop referring to it as dumbing down dumbos. Armchair Critic 12.1 "Stop referring to it as dumbing down…" I reckon it's more about editorial independence and not being beholden to advertisers. The dumbing down line is unhelpful. Andy B 13 OK. Is anyone aware of the Chomsky propaganda model? Cause that would dictate that corporations who own media (and if our public stations were sold off they would be owned by overseas corporations) are more likely to meddle in the editorial line of their media than a government. Because corporations inevitably have vested interests in other areas, they influence the news to their advantage by choosing editors who suit what they want and giving directives about what to say and not to say. A modern, Western, Capitalist democracy like ours should have a free to air, state funded (not govt funded because they are too different things) broadcasters because they are more likely to be objective. There is an official separation between the state and the media – the only link is funding through a non-political NZ on Air (which can be given directives by the govt – i.e. the TVNZ charter). This separation is particularly true in current affairs broadcasting. I'm sure any politician would be aware of the danger of trying to meddle with the media behind the scenes. (Its far better to run effective PR campaings like Brand-John-Key). The flak the both politicians and media would receive by meddling (and allowing to be meddled with) is not worth the risk. I'd certainly rather have broadcasters that were paid for by the people of NZ that have meaningful content that is important to us (including local content). I do not want a profit driven 'free-to-air' broadcaster, particularly in radio – which is a lifeline for many NZers. This would lead to a drop in local content because overseas-made content is so much cheaper – this would have greater societal effects such as a lost of collective knowledge of our past, of what is going on currently (think goodbye Te Karere and Q & A) and a loss of what being a NZer is all about. Media shapes us as a people (any form of media too – art, music, dance, as well as television and radio) and that doesn't necessarily mean in any predetermined shape either. Remembering that the people who make TV in NZ are NZers expressing their own views about our culture (I'm excluding current affairs here). I'd be very disappointed if there was a drop in our already abysmal amount of local content. Sure, some of the stuff made here is crap, but who can deny the warm, fuzzy feeling one gets when you hear a NZ accent on TV in a well made drama about NZers (like the Cult for example). On the creation of identity: The question we must ask ourselves is "what is identity?" Because NZ doesn't really have an identity (which is why we have race-relations issues etc.), which is due to our relative youth as a nation. What shapes our identity is a shared history and collective social inheritance. The media plays an important role in documenting and reminding us of our shared past as a nation. I don't think that the media come in with any predetermined idea of what a NZer should 'be'. The media (state-owned) show us ourselves and that is the most important thing in the creation of a national identity. They aren't showing us an idealised NZer (I'm certainly not like anyone in Outrageous Fortune (which wasn't produced by a state-owned but was still funded through NZ on Air)) – they're simply holding up a mirror for us to look in. Without this mirror, NZers would become more disparate. We have nothing else to unite us as a nation outside the media – so we need to grab the opportunity and take it. If the govt pull funding for state-owned media, it will send everyone into dire straits – even the corporately funded stations because they also heavily rely on NZ on Air funding to produce programmes. (Let's also not forget about the tens of regional stations that are struggling to stay alive!) So yes. It is the state's job to fund media. Lew 13.1 Andy B, According to a pure reading of Chomsky and Herman's model (pure inasmuch as it can be, given that the model applies to commercial media only), the government would be using the media to undertake ideological manipulation of the public, charter or no charter. This would be done via filters 1, 2, 3, and — since we're a liberal democracy — 5. In fact, he would likely argue that this is what's happening now — with the government of the day exerting power by controlling the filters. Read the model in the context of his "necessary illusions" thesis and you'll see how it's supposed to play out. With your talk about "uniting the nation" you're essentially recognising that the media has to play this role for the state — it's as Bill says upthread. I agree that it is, though, which is where I differ with Bill. but I'm not so sure Chomsky would. Also, I don't buy what you're selling about our national identity here. I think this is a case of failing to see the forest for the trees. Hint: the "race relations issues" are a function of our identity — and the aspects which make it up. And there's plenty more to unpack in there. So, while it's a certainty that in Chomsky's world we'd be in worse shape without public broadcasting, but the model itself is not a public broadcasting charter except inasmuch as the government can be excluded from the picture — which it can never be, since it controls the filters to a significant extent. The trouble is that Chomsky overreaches, and the trouble with reading him is that he makes a very persuasive case and you tend to believe him. But it's a little more complex and a little less perfect — less of a closed system — than he implies, and as a consequence the implications he draws are generally much more profound than they turn out to be in reality. After all, Fox just pissed off Sarah Palin. Beat that with a stick. Lew 13.1.1 I agree that it is, though, which is where I differ with Bill. … should read "I agree that it [media as agent of national cohesion] is a generally desirable thing, though, which is where I differ with Bill." Andy B 13.1.1.1 Yes. I guess our race-relation issues (I mean tension between Pakeha and Maori over who owns what etc) are very much a part of our identity. However, surely the fact that we have race-relation problems exist would mean (in a completely exaggerated and over idealised sense) that we don't identify strongly as NZers. I'm not saying that we need to become a homogeneous culture to eliminate race-relations – quite the opposite. The strongest part of our identity should be our diversity as a nation and showcasing our diversity as NZers should be one of the important media "as an agent for social cohesion" underpinning ideas. As for thinking the media is an instrument for the state to 'unite people' – I think maybe I see more autonomy in the media than other people do (maybe I'm wrong). I see the 'media' as a product of a group of people who each have their different views etc. Sure, they're moderated by a whole lot of filters – including editorial line etc. But the people behind the media are also NZers. I don't see this as some state machinery to manufacture a certain 'type' or NZer. I see it as more as people contributing to society by informing, challenging and entertaining. Not as some monolithic governmetal Ministry of Doublespeak – which is what some posters seem to think about State Owned media. My point by bring the Chomsky/Herman model in was to illustrate that 'meddling' would likely be worse under a corporate owned media. The model doesn't apply to state owned media. Of course, in regard to Palin: with the amount of dislike of her that's floating around the US (of course ignoring the crazy Tea Partiers who have had way too much coverage) its not surprising that Fox wanted to distance themselves from her. When I was in the US in Bush's final term, everything felt a lot more hostile in politics and media than when I went back under Obama. People seem more accepting and nice now. I'm not kidding either (I'm talking about the people "on Main Street" not the politicians). It is often said that the President sets the tone of the nation. I was travelling through Republican central too (think polygamists and AK-47s for sale at service stations for $550). Obama seems to have changed the tone. It might have changed in the 8 months since I was there. But I'm going back (to Washington to meet politicians no less) in July so I can make some more observations then. – Anyway, that's just conjecture and I'm sure you can pull me up on something in there! Haha. Lew 13.1.1.1.1 surely the fact that we have race-relation problems exist would mean (in a completely exaggerated and over idealised sense) that we don't identify strongly as NZers. You don't think the fact that the whitest honkey in England or elsewhere will, after a few beers, take off his shirt, climb up on the bar and butcher Ka Mate is a counterindication? You indicate that you've travelled overseas: have you not seen how people don't really reify their identity until they feel like it's under threat? Perhaps you've not been part of an expat community — those are a different kettle of fish to lone travellers. I don't see this as some state machinery to manufacture a certain 'type' or NZer. Completely agree. There's nothing necessarily purposive about it, but this sort of cohesion is inevitable. My point by bring the Chomsky/Herman model in was to illustrate that 'meddling' would likely be worse under a corporate owned media. The model doesn't apply to state owned media. It doesn't apply in Chomsky and Herman's work, but that isn't to say that it can't. I'm arguing it does, and Coleman's attempt to exert control over RNZ is an example of filters 1 and arguably 2 in action (and possibly 5, depending on how you view it). No contest whatever to the claim that it would be worse under a commercial model — that's the whole point of opposing it (which I do). Of course, in regard to Palin: with the amount of dislike of her that's floating around the US (of course ignoring the crazy Tea Partiers who have had way too much coverage) its not surprising that Fox wanted to distance themselves from her. Hmm, see, this is a Chomskyesque reading, in that it presumes perfect awareness of and control over all dimensions of a media-political event. I don't think it's a purposeful attempt to piss off Palin, and certainly not an attempt by Fox to distance themselves from her. At present, she's almost their biggest political asset. pheewww, you said lots of things there andy b. Like "Because NZ doesn't really have an identity … … which is due to our relative youth as a nation." That doesn't quite follow does it? Andy B 14.1 How doesn't it follow? As I defined identity (and its how I think it should be defined) we don't have much of an identity because we don't have a long (I mean multiple hundreds of years) as a nation. And we also don't have large nationalistic propaganda machines like the US does – even though that country is relatively young. Sure, a long collective history is only part of our identity – but it is one thing that we lack. Much of our history is made up of two sides (Pakeha and Maori) fighting one another – as British and Maori. We aren't a nation of New Zealanders yet. We are increasingly becoming so though. My generation (which is Y or Z depending on the dates you consult) feels as though we are more New Zealanders than a lot of older people (who might more strongly identify as Pakeha/European or Asian or Maori or Pasifika or whatever). Of course, this is based on my own observations alone. The generational gap in identity was demonstrated really well when my grandmother an I were talking about nationhood. I said that I was a NZer and she swiftly replied to me that I was British – not a NZer. I was a bit like WTF? Excuse me? Just because you moved from Britain to NZ when you were 13 does not make me British! Sure, this is a huge generalisation and this might be an exception to the rule, but this (amongst other things – such as a reluctance to become a republic or to change the flag) shows me that we are yet to have a strong national identity. Anyway, this is completely off topic. As I said before, media play an important role in forming that identity amongst us. Which is not to say that they dictate what a NZer is – but that they show us what we are – in reality. pollywog 15 "We have nothing else to unite us as a nation outside the media so we need to grab the opportunity and take it." If by unite us you're talking about the mechanism, then sure the media, inclusive of new media, does that. That's what media is, a medium for delivery, a means of communicating and transmitting a message. But whats a mediums worth if it doesnt have something worth communicating, a message to unite, a call to arms as it were or if that message is skewed too far left, right, overclass, underclass, black, white, yadda yadda ?…not much if you ask me. Shooting the messenger is the thing that immediately springs to mind. It might make you feel good but it doesnt change the message. For what its worth i dont listen to traditional radio at all. I think it's obsolete and serves no function that web based new media 2.0 and freeview digital TV cant deliver more effectively. As to what defines identity, i'd say values. NZ'ers inclusive of native polynesians have evolved shared values which dont neccessarily reflect those of our former colonial or polynesian settlers or those of the many immigrants since and that process of evolving cultural values is a work in progress, with the preferred media for transmission of those values yet to be selected. watch this space as it were 🙂 gobsmacked 16 Let's try another tack. Put things in terms the right-wingers might actually grasp: dollars and cents. Goal: Wealthier nation. Agreed? As demonstrated by: OECD rankings. Agreed? (well, they go on about it enough) So perhaps those who mindlessly parrot "state has no business in broadcasting" could kindly tell us which of the countries above NZ in the OECD do NOT have public TV and/or radio. The USA, arguably (but even they spend hundreds of millions of taxpayers' dollars on it, every year). Others? Europe? Japan? Canada? Come on, tell us all about these wealthy successful free nations who reject public broadcasting. Evidence, please. Here's an example to get you started. Stupid foreigners, stupid investment in informed and educated population, so inevitably they must slide into poverty … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YLE *checks OECD rankings again* Oh. Damn. "Here's an example to get you started." So are you advocating a licensing fee as Finland does to subsidise public broadcasts ? Hah…try that and see how far you'll get. Finland isnt wealthy because they have a publicly funded broadcasting corporation. They're wealthy mainly cos of Nokia. Which if they decided could replace trad radio to only broadcast online and recievable via cellphone. gobsmacked 17.1 Finland is wealthy because of investment in public good, including education, of which broadcasting is just one small part. (And as I said, just one example – we can talk Norway or Denmark or Germany or … take your pick. It's not a coincidence, investing in the brain actually works). As for Nokia, in NZ it would have been sold to Australians at a bargain price, and the jobs and profits shipped overseas. No long-term vision, just today's quick buck. pollywog 17.2 "Finland isnt wealthy because they have a publicly funded broadcasting corporation. They're wealthy mainly cos of Nokia." Nokia is a public limited liability company listed on the Helsinki, Frankfurt, and New York stock exchanges.[9] Nokia plays a very large role in the economy of Finland; it is by far the largest Finnish company, accounting for about a third of the market capitalization of the Helsinki Stock Exchange (OMX Helsinki) as of 2007, a unique situation for an industrialized country.[12] It is an important employer in Finland and several small companies have grown into large ones as its partners and subcontractors.[13] Nokia increased Finland's GDP by more than 1.5% in 1999 alone. In 2004 Nokia's share of the Finnish GDP was 3.5% and accounted for almost a quarter of Finland's exports in 2003.[14] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia kinto 18 Quick someone call Matthew Hooten, the gubbrmint is trying to shut down the free press! …oh wait thats right, it's ok when they do it… move on people Armchair Critic 19 It's only free press when it is owned by a small, wealthy elite, preferably with vested interests. When it is owned by the people of NZ via a democratically elected government, who give day to day responsibility for running it to a board of directors and management team it is, of course, a propaganda machine to be destroyed. Or sold. David Slack (I think) was on TV1 this morning saying RNZ has 500,000 listeners a day. That is 1 in 8 NZers. Assuming that that figure is correct, then this would make RNZ probably the most listened to station in NZ. In which case, demand for limited advertising space would be at a premium. I haven't yet seen a strong argument why RNZ should turn away such a revenue source. Pat, because it would contradict the charter — not only the text of the charter, which says it must be ad-free, but the point of the charter, which is that the station must remain independent and not beholden to the needs of advertisers. Also, there's a cross-subsidisation model at work: Morning Report, Checkpoint and to a lesser extent Nine to Noon and the latter segment of Afternoons (The Panel) command the largest weekday audiences, permitting resources to be dedicated to charter programming which might not otherwise merit production (but which nevertheless provides a public good). The fact that it's the hard-news shows which yield most of the audience means that, to exploit the content commercially, time would need to be taken from the station's most critical function — being NZ's news of record — and given over to advertising. By usual standards, this would result in 10-20% less air time dedicated to news — between six and twelve minutes per hour less to keep New Zealanders informed about their country. Just based on the numbers, that's as clear an attack on the station's role of holding the powerbrokers of the country to account as can be imagined. And if you like, I can go on for a while about the difference between short-form and long-form news, particularly interviews, and how the good oil tends to come late in the piece — so by cutting the last 30-90 seconds off each news interview you actually cause more than just the 10-20% of damage to the news value of reporting than the time cut might suggest. Pat 20.1.1 Change the charter, allow limited advertsing in terms of time (say max 8 mins per hour) which will command a premium in price, and put restrictions on the type/style of advertising (e.g. no presenter/advertiser conversation/endorsements). You have not convinced me that this will reduce "the station's role of holding the powerbrokers of the country to account" (nor am I sure if this is in the charter or just your interpretation of its role). lprent 20.1.1.1 I'm uninterested in listening to ads. It wastes my time. It took me long enough to even agree to have ads on this site, and they're passive (and load after the content). Pat 20.1.1.1.1 I don't like ads, either. Could the taxpayer please pay for RNZ to provide the cricket commentary so I don't have to listen to ads during the cricket coverage. After all, it's NZ's national summer sport. Lew 20.1.1.2 Pat, if a 15% reduction in the amount of air time dedicated to hard news programming (plus the attendant need to keep advertisers happy, with its well-known impacts on editorial policy) won't convince you, then nothing will. Perhaps, since I've explained my case and have the numbers on my side (100% – 15% = 85% < 100%, for starters), you could explain how you think it would have no impact? Lew – correct me if I'm wrong: your beef (and others I have read here) is that limited advertising will result in less time for RNZ to delve deeply into polticial issues, ipso facto, the government has less accountability. But RNZ does far more than political coverage. Most of its day is spent on (IMO) rather more dreary topics. If political issues are such an important function for RNZ, then they would be spending more time on them and less on others. Also they would give a greater budget weighting to poltical researchers and top-quality interviewers/presenters. Additional income from advertising would help this, not hinder it. But the reality is that being "NZ's news of record" does not place politics as its No 1 priority, depsite the wishes of Poli-watchers. For me the independance argument has more validity when it relates to advertising. It's a longer bow nowadays but history (and China!) shows the importance of journalism being free of political interference. Similarly, the argument is that advertising will lead to commercial interference. I'm not entirely convinced but then I don't buy into Business=Bad, Class War and other such slogans. Many people do, however, so I would concede that advertising would only give the conspiracy theorists something to hang on to. So in that respect I concede it would be better for the nation's broadcaster to be seen to be free from interference. However, that does not mean RNZ should become the untouchables. Empire building is a natural human condition and RNZ needs to remain open to public scrutiny as to how they spend taxpayers money, particularly with staff numbers and salaries. Also much of RNZ's programming seems to stem from tradition than necessarily adapting to changing times and demographics. I don't see a lot of programming targeting Generation Y and Z. Which makes RNZ no different to any other radio station – it is tailoring its programming to its core demographic. felix 20.1.1.2.1.1 Actually Pat, my objection to "limited advertising" is that there's no such thing – not for long, anyway. And before you say "legislate the amount" – we already have. Zero. And you want to push that boundary out. Do you expect me to believe that will be the end of the matter? Either you are so naive as to think the pressure to continue pushing the boundary will dissipate once you define an acceptable "limited" amount or you are being disingenuous with your intentions. lprent 20.1.1.2.1.2 Personally I think that your argument is deeply flawed. As far as I can tell over the longer term, there is direct inverse correlation between the time spent on ads and the level of intelligence in broadcasting. I have some codicils to that observation at the bounds. But lets look at that one first… As a side issue to that, as the level of intelligent broadcasting falls, after a long delay period, so does the audience. The radio audience has been falling for years relative to the population, however national radio keeps increasing their audience. People migrate away from mindless drivel… If you want to completely flatline listening to radio in NZ – then your proposal is the correct one… Sonny Blount 20.1.2 I would expect sponsorhip would be the first option rather than running ads. Such as with the NZSO or NZ Opera. Pat 20.1.2.1 I would prefer sponsorship money went to charities rather than a radio station. Sonny Blount 20.1.2.1.1 I would agree with you Pat. But this is the point of the discussion, as a fan of RNZ I can see that its funding must be evaluated amongst other priorities. Would you also prefer the government funding went into the fields these charities operate in rather than radio? TVNZ. Felix, a much more punchy response, and just as persuasive. this government just wants to prevent any argument or discussion on its policies and drawing rnz fangs would be a major move. RNZ doesn't get everything right but at least it tries. National would prefer the national discourse to be discussed on radio squawkback by rabid idiots with attention span deficits and all its decisons made in private with no discussion whatsoever reducing the country to a collection of majoritarian outcomes, pinhead policies and no dissent whatsoever. Bill 21.1 I think what you say would be the result, but I don't think the government is thinking that way. But trashing RNZ is all ideology. Market, market, market. It requires no thought whatsoever, just adherence to the oft- repeating of the correct mantras and the ability to walk in lock step with your leader. Which is not to say there are no intelligent cynics in the Nat ranks salivating over possible rewarding business outcomes. Just that viewed as a whole this government has to be viewed and treated as a cult with a couple of charismatic leading lights….not a rational thinking entity. Today Bill English gave a long interview with Kathryn Ryan on 9 to noon on the economy the tax changes and how he saw various measures may or may not be implemented. No way would sqwarkback give him that time or the opportunity for a reasoned debate. So how come these people can't see what a valuable treasure this RNZ is? I'm not saying I agreed with English – not at all – all I'm saying is – he had the opportunity to talk about his position and the way ahead as he saw it. It's VITAL. To say they need to shut down between midnight and 6 am or open up to commercial sponsorship is ludicrous. Then again maybe Kathryn could have said: "the following interview is sponsored by the Treasury".

CCHCS is responsible for providing notice to the public regarding new health care regulations or changes to existing health care regulations. Following public notice, CCHCS receives all written comments submitted by the public on the proposed health care rule making during the announced public comment period. CCHCS also conducts a public hearing where members of the public may present comments about the proposed health care regulations. Such hearings are solely designed to receive comments from the public and are not the forum to debate the merits of the proposed health care regulations. The place and time of a public hearing is included in the public notice for each health care regulatory action. Comments received from the public during the comment period will be reviewed, summarized and responded to by the CCHCS in its Final Statement of Reasons. Through these means, the public is invited to participate in the health care rule making process and become familiar with new health care regulations being proposed by CCHCS. You may attend the public hearing at the time and place announced in the Notice of Change to Health Care Regulations. To assist with tracking and responding to comments, include with your comments the subject title of the proposed health care regulation change and the number of the Notice of Change to Health Care Regulations (NC-HCR); for example, NC-HCR #14-01. It is also important for commenters to direct their statements specifically to the health care regulations being proposed. Comments that are of the most use are those that address a specific concern about, suggest a change to, or express support for the specific health care regulations under consideration. You may suggest changes to the proposed health care regulation text itself that you believe address problems or help improve the health care rules. Unfortunately, CCHCS cannot effectively respond to public comments that are too general or are not directed at the specific health care rules being proposed. Final adoption of proposed health care regulations occurs following compliance with the public review provisions of the APA and filing with the Secretary of State. Health care regulations adopted under the emergency/operational necessity provisions of the penal code are in effect on a temporary basis pending completion of this process.

Ideas. Action. Impact. The Washington Institute for Near East Policy The Washington Institute: Improving the Quality of U.S. Middle East Policy Fikra Forum Arab and Islamic Politics Arab-Israeli Relations Democracy and Reform Energy and Economics Gulf and Energy Policy Military and Security U.S. Policy Persian Gulf States Browse All Analysis Research Programs Policy Focus 80 U.S. Foreign Policy and Israel's Qualitative Military Edge: The Need for a Common Vision William Wunderle and Andre Briere The U.S. commitment to maintain Israel's qualitative military edge (QME) -- that is, the technological, tactical, and other advantages that allow it to deter numerically superior adversaries -- is a longstanding tradition that every president since Lyndon Johnson has reiterated. Today, however, Israel's relations with Arab countries are more complicated, and some moderate Arab states have even become strategically aligned with Israel due to Iran's growing regional ambitions and nuclear activities. How does this new regional calculus affect American military aid to both Israel and Arab states? And how can Washington advance U.S. strategic needs in the Middle East while still supporting its diverse allies? In this Policy Focus, U.S. military planners William Wunderle and Andre Briere argue that a clearer definition of, and approach to, Israel's QME is needed. After outlining the historical evolution of U.S. and Israeli attitudes, they discuss how the QME strategy has been fundamentally altered by Iran's emergence as a wider regional threat. Based on this shift, and looking through the lens of U.S. defense strategy, they offer practical guidelines for the day-to-day U.S. decisions -- such as high-profile arms sales -- that could potentially alter the military footing and strategic thinking of Israel and its Arab neighbors. At a time when traditional assumptions about the regional strategic environment are in need of updating, decisionmakers require new guidelines to help them enhance burgeoning partnerships with Arab allies and deter Iranian ambitions -- all without endangering the security needs of its chief ally in the region.

The design of the 1972 Olympic Games resembles in many ways the notion of what we call today corporate design. It was indeed corporate design. The company was the Federal Republic of Germany. The message: Purification. Liberalism. Post-nationalism. Olympia 1972: Transport Network Map, 1968 - 1972, Design: Otl Aicher | © Florian Aicher, Rotis For good reason: back in 1972, 27 years after the war and 36 years after the Olympic Games has last been held in Germany, the Federal Republic was still struggling to clean up its image. Not only did the country have to, but it also wanted to prove, almost desperately, that it was a modern, pluralistic society. "Modell Deutschland" – the "German model" – was the term coined later by the SPD Social Democratic party for its election campaign. The unflinching desire to portray a modern image to the world, and reach billions of TV spectators through the unique global exposure of ongoing Olympic coverage, gave designers free rein – a possibility they would have perhaps otherwise never had. Olympia Sporting Events Posters "Gymnastics", "Hurdles" & "Wrestling", 1968 - 1972, Design: Otl Aicher | © Florian Aicher, Rotis The key person in this endeavor was Otl Aicher, who headed the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm – the Ulm School of Design. It was in this institution that the first German modern design emerged from the ravages of the war. Aicher had previously been responsible for creating mostly corporate design – Lufthansa's C.I., for example, was his company's brainchild. Aicher thus set off to tackle the Olympic Games project in the same manner he dealt with corporate clients. Olympia Poster "International Folk Festival", 1968 - 1972, Design: Otl Aicher | © Florian Aicher, Rotis The designer's guiding principle was clear: "You are what you show and you show what you are." Aicher aimed at a comprehensive approach: everything had to bear the same design – from the uniforms worn by the Olympic staff to the entire range of publicity material, including program flyers, posters and parking permits. Even trash cans and containers had to comply with the design guidelines. In addition, competing "Munich 1972" logos, for example Coca-Cola's, were supposed to remain concealed. Ultimately, though, Aigner failed in this respect, unable to defy the clout of the strong brands that claimed their first victory in Munich: if we take a closer look, the images of the time often reveal Adidas' flagship three stripes. Olympia 1972: "Sporting Events Pictograms", 1968 - 1972, Design: Otl Aicher | © Florian Aicher, Rotis This rainbow theme took hold and has lived on ever since. Both South Africa's and America's "Rainbow Nation" made use of the rainbow as a symbol of diversity. Not long ago, the rainbow flag fluttered anew as a symbol of a new peace movement that added the slogan 'Pace' on it. In addition – and above all– the gay movement has come together under the umbrella banner of the rainbow sign. But it was Otl Aicher who invented the political rainbow. His set of pictograms has been groundbreaking to date: even though he himself didn't create the small stick figures used for public signs – they date as far back as 1936 in Berlin –, nobody had used them in such a comprehensive, ubiquitous way as he did, nor re-designed them with such a sleek, modern appearance. The hostage-taking and massacre that took place in 1972 are always referred to as a German-Jewish story, as the fatal reenactment "of what was once done to Jews on German soil" as Hans-Dietrich Genscher, Minister for the Interior at the time, told the kidnappers. This is tragically true. For Otl Aicher, the man obsessed with controlling every design detail and for whom "image" was a guiding principle, the "image" of Munich 1972 ended up associated, above all, with the total loss of control. Olympia 1972: "Waldi", 1968 - 1972, Design: Otl Aicher | © Florian Aicher, Rotis The multicolored pop utopia, the 14-day utopia of modernity that Munich 1972 had been until then, became ridden overnight with an evil design of earlier times: the 'Kübelwagen' jeeps of the German police, steel helmets, machine guns, military equipment. The outcome: an unfathomable breach, a nightmare – precisely what nobody had wanted. This design utopia that had used artistic means to help create better human beings fell apart during the shootings of September 5 and 6, 1972. Or is it more appropriate to say that it didn't really collapse because it had never existed in the first place? Had the plan just been to feign it for humankind for a few great days? One thing is clear, though. Never since has such a major and comprehensive design project been attempted for a sports event. 2012 doesn't only mark the 30th anniversary of the Summer Olympic Games of the modern era. On May 13 of this year, Ulm designer Otl Aicher would have turned 90. The Ulm School of Design HfG Archive, which has held the estate of Aicher's body of work since 1996, is commemorating these two anniversaries with the exhibition "Otl Aicher – The Rainbow Games. The Design of the 1972 Olympics Games in Munich" from May 13 to October 14, 2012. Jost Kaiser was a blogger for "Vanity Fair" and wrote about political events in Germany and abroad. He also writes for several German newspapers and is editor of the men's magazine GQ.

Remedy Entertainment-the developers of both Alan Wake and Max Payne-and Contradiction Films-the production company behind video game-to-movie adaptations Mortal Kombat: Legacy and Dead Rising: Watchtower-are allegedly collaborating on the project. The plan is to start pitching it in October once Calloway has finalized the details. Contradiction Films' Tomas Harlan told Variety that Lake is a "huge part" of the show and that, ultimately, it's still "his baby". "That was Sam's vision". It was influenced by The Twilight Zone, Secret Window, Hitchcock, Northern Exposure, a lot of USA television. Alan Wake was released on the Xbox 360 and Windows PC in 2010. He also alluded to more characters from the game's universe would play a large part, but the story won't be in "lockstep" with the game. Currently, the plan is to shop the series around with Calloway's full pitch, and Harlan has said that he has found interest from some studios. The influence of television even makes its way into the game with the way Alan Wake was structured episodically and in-game television programs making their way into the game, which ended up selling 4.5 million copies. As for what fans can expect from this series, Lake told Variety that Alan Wake will still be central to the series' story but he's also planning to focus on numerous surrounding characters within the world. "I think it's important to embrace those characters and to bring Alan Wake to where he was [in the video game, ]" said Harlan. "We'll be expanding the lore of this insane and dark universe and diving deeper into certain aspects of it than the game ever did". Furthermore, it seems Lake isn't ready to talk about an Alan Wake 2. For now, fans will have to settle for the new show, which Lake decline to confirm or deny will be canon, citing the need to avoid spoilers. And hey, if the TV show works out, maybe we'll finally get another game? The story followed fictitious best-selling author Alan Wake (Matthew Porretta) on a journey to a small town in Washington state where he hopes to rid himself of prolonged writer's block.

The NFL found that the Dolphins didn't brake violations of the tampering policy in the signing of free agent Ndamukong Suh, according to Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald. Suh signed with the Dolphins for six-years, worth $114 million with $60 million guaranteed, including a $25.5 million signing bonus. News broke out that Suh had already agreed to a deal a week before free agency officially started, which would have violated the NFL tampering policy. The day that Suh signed, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said that the team broke no rules.

Atlantis, The Palm in conjunction with the Al Boom Diving Centre at Atlantis launches Learn to Dive with Dolphins, an exciting scuba diving programme which certifies participants as PADI Scuba Divers before taking them on a maiden dive with a dolphin at Dolphin Bay. The programme lasts for two days rather than the usual three making it a great weekend or holiday activity. It begins at the Al Boom Diving Centre at Atlantis where participants undertake their certification in a saltwater swimming pool amongst highly trained instructors. After obtaining the diving certification, participants are educated about dolphin conservation before descending beneath the surface of the lagoon to interact and play with the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins that call Atlantis home. That isn't all though. Participants then get to experience the exhilarating feeling of an underwater dorsal fin tow and marvel at the dolphins barrel spin and somersault up in the air. The 1,539-room Atlantis, The Palm, home to one of the largest open-air marine habitats in the world, with some 65,000 marine animals in lagoons and displays is known for its unique and exotic underwater diving and scuba diving experiences and offers a wide range of programmes. For those not comfortable going underwater, Atlantis Dolphin Photo Fun (Rs 3,900 for residents and Rs 4,780 for non-residents) allows guests a 10-minute session with these charismatic mammals to play and interact with them at the water's edge. Adventurous guests can undertake the Atlantis Dolphin Adventure, a 30-minute session with the dolphins which includes the unforgettable thrill of a belly ride where guests hold on to the pectoral fins of the dolphin and are propelled forward through the water.

I repeated myself both times were matter of fact by the way. I could deal with it if I got my packages in one piece. I flagged down the carrier on cover bridge street and she said that she would check to see if it was misplaced. Looking to travel in 30 days? I met him at the door because I was excited to get my packages. I told him I had already filed a complaint against him. I am missing mail for 6108 rickerhill lane austin texas. I have had large envelopes taking 2-3 weeks! Now I have the worst most inconsiderate post office women deliverer. Roll over map and scroll. Very frustrating, especially since the postmaster was notified and chose not to stop them. One car with a vanity license plate avoiding being personal is parked in front of the far door every day. We created this mega-resource not because we love getting a passport, but because we grew tired of standing in long lines at the passport agencies. We suggest confirming with the Oak Hill Station by calling at 512 892-2794 for updated information. We would get notifications that our packages have been delivered but would not be in our mailbox. We went to the post office on Monday morning and waited for them to locate our mail. I have to contact the magazine directly and they have a record. Austin residents can obtain an expedited passport quicker than the Oak Hill Station by visiting any of the passport agencies below for expedited services. We are a privately owned organization that simplifies government-related passport information across all states. And need to replace your passport, renew passport or get a new passport. Absolutely terrible now for many years! I stated I hope none of these are broken. Passport Services Available: Expedited Services Available: Yes 3 to 6 Weeks Processing Time. This has been an ongoing issue since we moved here. This man has no manners whatsoever. I don't see how they operate like this?!? There is a line at the side door every day for those that need to pick mail up. Click on the map below to see post office opening hours. Mail is never out anywhere near to the posted time. When we first moved here, 4 years ago, our mail would constantly get mixed up with the street behind us. Same Day Passport Services: No the Oak Hill Station do not process same day passport applications. Been trying endlessly to get in touch with Oak Hill Postoffice after they have lost my package. I actually could do all of my shipping online but frankly these peeps make it worth standing in line to get a human hit of niceness. All I want is my packages delivered without them being destroyed. I don't know who the incompetent carrier s are in Cover Bridge but they need to be fired. Here are all Oak hill Post Office Hours of operation. Yes, The Oak Hill Station You are able to obtain your passport photo at this location. The Oak Hill Post Office employees park in the front row of their parking lot next to the building, preventing those carrying packages and the elderly from having a convenient parking space. Visit your local Post Office at 4241 Oak Hill Rd! We also want our users to focus on traveling the globe not loosing hair. I get an text this morning saying that the carrier said that they delivered it to my mailbox; therefore, I would have to fill out a claims form. One neighbor recently delivered 3 important pieces of mail to me. As I'm riding out on my scooter to get mail 2 teenage boys run off with a package she left on top of my box. The last 2 were broken. Just the other day, I got a text the other day that my package was delivered but there was nothing in my mailbox or dropped off on my porch. The Postal Service mission is to provide a reliable, efficient, trusted and affordable universal delivery service that connects people and helps businesses grow. Thanks For the past 3-4 months, whoever is delivering my mail can't seem to get it right. This post office has very poor service. Disclaimer: We do our best to keep the Oak Hill Station hours, phone numbers and address updated but sometimes information change frequently. I've lived in my home for 20 years. He does not have to take my harassment. Click the Post office of your choice on the map to view its contact details, opening hours, and service details. She did text me later on that day advising that she would let her supervisor know. That package had my twin grandson's special ordered embroidered shirts for their 6th bday tomorrow. Unnecessarily so I may add twice now. You can either select via map or click on a link from available post office list bellow. There are 2 Post offices in the 45656-2 Area. The Postmaster assured me he would have a talk with him after he tossed my packages on my front porch and was rude to me. Example the post mark on envelopes is a week or more past when it finally gets into our box and this is just mail within Austin!. I haven't received the last 2 packages I ordered. All you hear is chatter and party planning from employees behind the boxes.

It's really cute and comfy, and the ruffles make it a little more fancy. It's warm enough, but the material isn't heavy enough that it's not breathable. It's a smaller small than other tops, but it still fits fairly true to size. It would be great with leggings, jeans or a skirt! Ashley A. Reviewed by Ashley A. Megan S. Reviewed by Megan S.

Diego Maradona, Leeds United and the strangest transfer rumour in the club's history The legendary Argentine, who has passed away aged 60, was once the subject of bizarre rumours linking him with Leeds United Diego Maradona has passed away, aged 60 The death of Diego Maradona has seen the entire footballing world go into mourning. The legendary Argentine was one of those once-in-a-generation players who transcended the sport the played in, as is evident by the number of tributes that have flooded in since news of his passing, at the age of 60, emerged on Wednesday afternoon. Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani was eloquently stated that 'you are my football world and always will be,' on Twitter and the club themselves also put out a tweet simply reading: 'Artist. Icon. Legend. Rest in peace, Diego Maradona.' Maradona's playing career never brought him to these shores, but if you believed what you read in the papers almost 35 years ago, Leeds United had set their sites on bringing the World Cup winner to Elland Road, in what was perhaps the club's strangest-ever transfer rumour. Diego Maradona's testimonial showed the great respect he held for Marcelo Bielsa Leeds United and Andrea Raddrizzani's heartfelt tribute as Diego Maradona dies aged 60 The story takes us back to 1987, where Leeds were festering in Division Two, five years after dropping out of the top flight. Then-chairman Bill Fortherby was never lacking in ambition - indeed, he would soon return Leeds United to the top of English football - and this was never more evident than when he set his sites on Diego Maradona. Happy birthday to Leeds legend Diego Maradona #lufc pic.twitter.com/16CVDReJX4 — MrPaulRobinson (@MrPaulRobinson) October 30, 2017 The Argentine was then a year removed from his 'hand of god' goal against England in the 1986 World Cup and had just won Napoli's first ever Serie A title, lifting him to a deity-like status in the city. Maradona had twice broken the transfer fee world record but that didn't put Fotherby off when he spoke to the player's agent, Jon Smith. Fotherby, who passed away last year, gave his side of the story to the Daily Mail. But could he do it on a wet, windy 1980s night at the Victoria Stadium? Of course he would have... "Jon said, "Bill, you couldn't afford Maradona. No chance. Do you realise that you're talking £8million?"," he recalled. "Everyone thought we were crazy. But I got Smith up to Leeds and we had lunch in the box, looking onto the pitch. "Look Bill," he said. "We're bringing him over for a match between England and the World XI. Now, the possibilities of him having a game at Leeds… what could you do?" "I said we could fix it up with the city council, make it a big do. "But it mustn't leak out." "We go have dinner after dropping him off. There are two people I know there, big Leeds fans. "We saw you at the airport. Who are you going to sign?" So I said, "All I'm going to say is, think of Evita". Soon we were getting phone calls from Buenos Aires about Maradona. Directors of Arsenal and Tottenham are asking: 'Are you going for b****y Maradona? Where have you got the money from?'". When Bill Fotherby (RIP) had us believing we could sign Maradona.#lufc #80sleeds @DazKing1971 @ardo90_LUFC @daverowson @LeedsUnited_MAD @TheSquareBall @PhilHayYEP @100YearsOfLUFC @super_leeds70 @LUFC @FollowMeAndLUFC @lufcstats @WACCOE @JulianBarker111 @YEPSportsdesk pic.twitter.com/ifqXE5f5YP — LEEDS UTD MEMORIES (@LUFCHistory) March 14, 2019 Smith also gave his side of the story in his book The Deal. "I thought I was just chatting amongst friends before the conversation took an unexpected turn," he wrote. "'How's Diego?' asked Peter. "'He's fine. We're doing a few bits and pieces with him. We helped get him his Coke deal - the black stuff, not the white stuff - and although we aren't that close to him, we're inside the camp.' "'Ok. Think he'd sign for Leeds?' "I was taken aback. 'Er... probably not. The weather isn't quite as good as Naples for starters.' "'Yeah, but if we paid him a lot of money? And we arranged a big house, spared no expense, that sort of thing, what about then?' "'I don't really know. Maybe.' I thought no more of it.

"But from that one answer, they leaked story after story to the press about how Maradona was weighing up a move to Leeds." Needless to say, Maradona did not pitch up at Elland Road and would go on to win a second Scudetto at Napoli in 1990, before moving on to Sevilla in 1992. Short stints at Marcelo Bielsa's former side Newell's Old Boys and at Boca Juniors followed before he hung up his boots for good in 1997. It took Fotherby another three years to get Leeds out of the second tier, but two years after that his side were crowned champions of England, with Lee Chapman leading the line, rather than the greatest player of all-time.

Reagan McDonald (Dallas Baptist) converted the four-inning save, just allowed two hits and three walks while striking out seven. Wisconsin 2, Fond du Lac 5 The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders took the lead late and defeated the Wisconsin Woodchucks 5-2. Fondy scored one in the bottom of the first and then again in the third on an RBI single by Andrew Bullock (Western Carolina). Zach DeLoach (Texas A&M) put the Chucks on the board in the fourth from an RBI single and then Wisconsin tied it on an RBI double by Reese Alexiades (Pepperdine). The Spiders got a big two-run double from Mitch Boe (Iowa) in the seventh and then an unearned run in the eighth with Zach Bryant (Daytona State) pitching the 1.2 and converting his first save of the season. Wisconsin Rapids 4, Lakeshore 9 The Lakeshore Chinooks prevented a late rally from the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters and won the game 9-4. Rapids committed three errors in the bottom half which sent two Chinooks runs home. Lakeshore put up two more in the third inning which came from back-to-back RBI singles by Connor Kimple (South Mountain) and Turner Buis (Coastal Carolina). The Chinooks went up six in the fourth inning and then eight in the sixth. Dallas Beaver (UCF) homered in the seventh inning for Lakeshore while Kevin Tibor (Carthage) got the start and threw seven scoreless innings. The Rafters did managed four in the ninth with three coming from a bases clearing double by Ethan Stringer and him scoring a run, but the next batter grounded out to end the game. Willmar 4, Bismarck 2 The Willmar Stingers used an important fifth inning, went ahead and defeated the Bismarck Larks 4-2. Dylan Rock (UTSA) put the Larks on the board first from an RBI single. And error and RBI single scored three for the Stingers Nic Hernandez (Cal Poly Pamona) knocked in the third. Bismarck came within one in the sixth, but Jayson Newman (Cal-State Northridge) knocked in one more for Willmar in the ninth as Newman came in to pitch and converted the two-inning save for his third of the season. Kenosha 3, Battle Creek 4 (12 Innings) The Battle Creek Bombers walked it off in the bottom of the 12th and defeated the Kenosha Kingfish 4-3. The Bombers got a pair in the second when Sam Kippen (Olivet Nazarene) went deep. Kenosha took the lead in the sixth with three which was capped off by Connor Doyle (San Diego) knocking in two from a double. Battle Creek tied it in the bottom half and that eventually forced extra innings. Kenosha got a strong 5.1 from Trent Palmer (Jacksonville) and Jack Zimmerman (Kent State) out of the bullpen. Kevin Hahn (Cal State Stanislaus) pitched the final two for the Bombers which put him in line to get the save. And then with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 12th, Kippen drew a walk to score the winning run. Thunder Bay 1, Rochester 2 (11 Innings) The Rochester Honkers walked it off against the Thunder Bay Border Cats and won the game 2-1. Darin Kilfoyl (Satin John's River) threw five scoreless for the Honkers, allowed just one hit while striking out nine. Joey Cardamon (Luther) threw six for the Cats and allowed just the one run in the sixth which was an RBI single by Alex McGary (Oregon State). Nick Conti (Eckerd) put Thunder Bay on the board in the next inning on an RBI single of his own. That forced extra innings and with two outs one on in the 11th, the Cats' center fielder committed an error to give up the game-winner. Kalamazoo 9, Green Bay 6 (11 Innings) The Kalamazoo Growlers scored three in the 11th and went on to defeat the Green Bay Bullfrogs 9-6. The Growlers got on the board with one in the third.

Both teams traded runs in the eighth and Baron Radcliff (Georgia Tech) went deep in the ninth to force extra innings. The Growlers put up another three in the 11th which was capped by a Jared Miller two-run single which was proven to be the game-winner. St. Cloud 3, Mankato 1 The St. Cloud Rox proved that the third inning was the difference maker and went on to defeat the Mankato MoonDogs 3-1. St. Cloud got one in the opening inning. The Rox then went up three in the third from a Landon Stephens (Miami (OH)) home run. The MoonDogs got on the board in the fourth, but was shut down by St. Cloud pitching the rest of the night. Kenny Saenz (BYU) pitched the first six, gave up just one run on four hits and two walks while striking out five. Bobby Gauvreau (Minnesota State) pitched the final inning and converted his first save. Rockford 4, Madison 9 The Madison Mallards scored early and often while defeating the Rockford 9-4. Madison got three in the opening inning which was powered by David Vinsky (Northwood) knocking in two from a double. Jesse Forestell (Western Michigan) homered to put the Mallards up three and then tacked on another in the fifth. Madison scored three more in the sixth which was started from Forestell knocking in another. The Rivets finally got on the board in the seventh with four while three came from one swing of the bat by Mason Templet (LSU). Madison got one more in the eighth as the Mallards were retired in the next inning to end the game.

We are a small marketing agency searching for a digital ad placement specialist. We have several clients in various industries who are in need of Google AdWords, Facebook ads, and the ability to create retargeting campaigns (such as Facebook Lookalike or Google Remarketing). Ad creative will be supplied internally by our agency. Our agency's process is to request an estimate from a freelancer, relay it to our client, and if the client accepts the proposal we move forward with the freelancer. Ideally, we'd like to work with someone consistent and reliable who would be available to work on current and future clients. Required skills: -SEO/PPC proficient -Google Webmaster proficient -Facebook Marketing -Search Engine Marketing -Management and adjustment of campaigns Plus, but not required skills: - Google Adwords certified less more A more intelligent surfer that probabilistically hops from page to page depending on the content of the pages and query terms the surfer that it is looking for. This model is based on a query-dependent PageRank score of a page which as the name suggests is also a function of query. When given a multiple-term query, Q={q1,q2,…}, the surfer selects a q according to some probability distribution, P(q) and uses that term to guide its behavior for a large number of steps. It then selects another term according to the distribution to determine its behavior, and so on. The resulting distribution over visited web pages is QD-PageRank.[39] When the dust has settled, page C has lost a little PageRank because, having now shared its vote between A and B, instead of giving it all to A, A has less to give to C in the A–>C link. So adding an extra link from a page causes the page to lose PageRank indirectly if any of the pages that it links to return the link. If the pages that it links to don't return the link, then no PageRank loss would have occured. To make it more complicated, if the link is returned even indirectly (via a page that links to a page that links to a page etc), the page will lose a little PageRank. This isn't really important with internal links, but it does matter when linking to pages outside the site. By using Internet platforms, businesses can create competitive advantage through various means. To reach the maximum potential of digital marketing, firms use social media as its main tool to create a channel of information. Through this a business can create a system in which they are able to pinpoint behavioral patterns of clients and feedback on their needs.[30] This means of content has shown to have a larger impingement on those who have a long-standing relationship with the firm and with consumers who are relatively active social media users. Relative to this, creating a social media page will further increase relation quality between new consumers and existing consumers as well as consistent brand reinforcement therefore improving brand awareness resulting in a possible rise for consumers up the Brand Awareness Pyramid.[31] Although there may be inconstancy with product images;[32] maintaining a successful social media presence requires a business to be consistent in interactions through creating a two way feed of information; firms consider their content based on the feedback received through this channel, this is a result of the environment being dynamic due to the global nature of the internet.[29] Effective use of digital marketing can result in relatively lowered costs in relation to traditional means of marketing; Lowered external service costs, advertising costs, promotion costs, processing costs, interface design costs and control costs.[32] Paid per click marketing is not about blindly paying Google to drive clicks to your site. It is about knowing how much to pay for each click and understanding which type of consumer you ought to be paying to attract. It is also about listening to signals provided by clicks that result in both bounces AND your desired conversion goals to make the necessary changes to your keyword lists, ads and landing pages. Unlike smaller digital advertising agencies, there is nothing cookie cutter about us. We create completely customized strategies based on your business goals and can easily pivot as your company scales and evolves. We also have a much more conservative pricing structure compared to large mega-agencies. We won't tell you to blow all of your marketing dollars on a huge placement. Instead, we have an eye for ROI when advising you on how to spend your money. Junk traffic can also suck the life out of your campaign. Most, but not all pay per click services or providers distribute a segment of their budget to several search engines and other sites via their search partners and content networks. While you certainly want your ads displayed on Google and/or Bing, you may not want your ads showing up and generating clicks from some of the deeper, darker corners of the Internet. The resulting traffic may look fine in high-level statistics reports, but you have to separate out partner network campaigns and carefully manage them if you're going to get your money's worth. For more than 12 years, TheeDesign has helped HVAC companies in the Raleigh area achieve their marketing goals by understanding the business needs and applying expert knowledge of PPC to help our valued HVAC clients grow their business. As a Google Partner, TheeDesign marketers are Google AdWords certified. This designation shows the commitment TheeDesign has for delivering quality PPC performance and our ability to use the AdWords service to the fullest. Selecting the best keywords requires research. You can start by brainstorming any terms or phrases related to your brand, products or services, and what users would likely type into the search bar when searching for what you offer. Beyond that, there are plenty of tools to help you research, one of the best being Google Keyword Planner. Remember to include long tail keywords (longer search phrases) as they can more accurately target your niche. The third and final stage requires the firm to set a budget and management systems; these must be measurable touchpoints, such as audience reached across all digital platforms. Furthermore, marketers must ensure the budget and management systems are integrating the paid, owned and earned media of the company.[68] The Action and final stage of planning also requires the company to set in place measurable content creation e.g. oral, visual or written online media.[69] While PPC is certainly easier to implement, rushing into the process can be a segway to disaster if you don't know the basics. By looking at the 3 helpful tips below, you should be able to launch an effective PPC campaign that will bring new visitors to your site. If you find that after setting up an account, you still have lots of questions, simply visit the Farotech info page for more PPC help. Note that as the number of pages on the web increases, so does the total PageRank on the web, and as the total PageRank increases, the positions of the divisions in the overall scale must change. As a result, some pages drop a toolbar point for no 'apparent' reason. If the page's actual PageRank was only just above a division in the scale, the addition of new pages to the web would cause the division to move up slightly and the page would end up just below the division. Google's index is always increasing and they re-evaluate each of the pages on more or less a monthly basis. It's known as the "Google dance". When the dance is over, some pages will have dropped a toolbar point. A number of new pages might be all that is needed to get the point back after the next dance. The formula uses a model of a random surfer who gets bored after several clicks and switches to a random page. The PageRank value of a page reflects the chance that the random surfer will land on that page by clicking on a link. It can be understood as a Markov chain in which the states are pages, and the transitions, which are all equally probable, are the links between pages. Using an omni-channel strategy is becoming increasingly important for enterprises who must adapt to the changing expectations of consumers who want ever-more sophisticated offerings throughout the purchasing journey. Retailers are increasingly focusing on their online presence, including online shops that operate alongside existing store-based outlets. The "endless aisle" within the retail space can lead consumers to purchase products online that fit their needs while retailers do not have to carry the inventory within the physical location of the store. Solely Internet-based retailers are also entering the market; some are establishing corresponding store-based outlets to provide personal services, professional help, and tangible experiences with their products.[24] 6. Measurement and analysis. You won't get far in SEO unless you know how to measure your results, interpret those results, and use your analysis to make meaningful changes to your approach. The best tool for the job is still Google Analytics, especially if you're new to the game. Spend some time experimenting with different metrics and reports, and read up on Analytics knowledge base articles. There's a deep world to dive into. Search engines may penalize sites they discover using black hat methods, either by reducing their rankings or eliminating their listings from their databases altogether. Such penalties can be applied either automatically by the search engines' algorithms, or by a manual site review. One example was the February 2006 Google removal of both BMW Germany and Ricoh Germany for use of deceptive practices.[53] Both companies, however, quickly apologized, fixed the offending pages, and were restored to Google's list.[54] Mega-sites, like http://news.bbc.co.uk have tens or hundreds of editors writing new content – i.e. new pages - all day long! Each one of those pages has rich, worthwile content of its own and a link back to its parent or the home page! That's why the Home page Toolbar PR of these sites is 9/10 and the rest of us just get pushed lower and lower by comparison… Google's SERPs can show various elements: the search results themselves (so-called snippets), a knowledge graph, a featured snippet, an answer box, images, shopping results and more. Depending on the type of query and the data Google finds, some of these elements will show up. You can add data to your page, so Google can show a 'rich' snippet, providing more information about your product or recipe, for instance. Ian Rogers first used the Internet in 1986 sending email on a University VAX machine! He first installed a webserver in 1990, taught himself HTML and perl CGI scripting. Since then he has been a Senior Research Fellow in User Interface Design and a consultant in Network Security and Database Backed Websites. He has had an informal interest in topology and the mathematics and behaviour of networks for years and has also been known to do a little Jive dancing.

Most recently, the world's number one search engine, Google, removed ads from it's "right rail" on desktop search, and moved these ads where organic search engine results used to live. This new SERP layout now pushes organic search results well below the visible page fold on desktop, leaving only the Ad blocks and local pack visible to the searcher. Enhanced CPC – A bidding feature where your max bid is spontaneously raised for you if Google believes that the click will convert. Your maximum bid using this bid strategy can be up to 30% higher when your ad is competing for a spot on the SERP. If Google does not think that your ad will convert then your bid is decreased in the auction. The last part of the Enhanced CPC bidding feature is that your bid will stay at or below the maximum bid you set for certain auctions. Google's algorithms evaluate the data and adjust bids. Let's start with what Google says. In a nutshell, it considers links to be like votes. In addition, it considers that some votes are more important than others. PageRank is Google's system of counting link votes and determining which pages are most important based on them. These scores are then used along with many other things to determine if a page will rank well in a search. Inbound links (links into the site from the outside) are one way to increase a site's total PageRank. The other is to add more pages. Where the links come from doesn't matter. Google recognizes that a webmaster has no control over other sites linking into a site, and so sites are not penalized because of where the links come from. There is an exception to this rule but it is rare and doesn't concern this article. It isn't something that a webmaster can accidentally do. For example, the search algorithm used by Google features hundreds of ranking factors, and while nobody outside of Google knows precisely what they are, some are thought to be more important than others. In the past, the link profile of a site – the number of external links that link to a specific website or web page from other websites – was an important ranking signal. It still is to some extent (which is why Wikipedia ranks so prominently in organic results for so many queries), though search advances at such a rapid pace that ranking signals that were once crucial to the search algorithm may be less important today, a source of constant frustration to SEOs. Prioritizing clicks refers to display click ads, although advantageous by being 'simple, fast and inexpensive' rates for display ads in 2016 is only 0.10 percent in the United States. This means one in a thousand click ads are relevant therefore having little effect. This displays that marketing companies should not just use click ads to evaluate the effectiveness of display advertisements (Whiteside, 2016).[42] Google wasn't happy with the Pandora's Box it had opened. It began to fight back, with its most famous action against a network known as SearchKing, penalizing the site and some of those in the network with PageRank score reductions or actual removal from Google. SearchKing sued Google. Google won, a judge ruling that its search results were entitled to First Amendment protection as opinions. One thing to bear in mind is that the results we get from the calculations are proportions. The figures must then be set against a scale (known only to Google) to arrive at each page's actual PageRank. Even so, we can use the calculations to channel the PageRank within a site around its pages so that certain pages receive a higher proportion of it than others. SEO is a marketing discipline focused on growing visibility in organic (non-paid) search engine results. SEO encompasses both the technical and creative elements required to improve rankings, drive traffic, and increase awareness in search engines. There are many aspects to SEO, from the words on your page to the way other sites link to you on the web. Sometimes SEO is simply a matter of making sure your site is structured in a way that search engines understand.

I've been blogging genealogy and gravestones for so long, I was beginning to wonder if I was the only nut researching my family tree. Last Saturday, you can imagine my surprise after finding a blog post about a Phineas HOLCOMB from Simsbury, Hartford, Connecticut. "Lots of HOLCOMBs are from there, Rabbit" Nostalgia hissed. "What are the odds, now, really? Ensign Joshua HOLCOMB II is Jacky's 7th great grandfather, while he is Junior's 9th great grandfather. "This would make Jacky and Junior 8th cousins two times removed," Nostalgia announced while tapping away on a calculator. I smiled wickedly knowing The Old Banshee's weakness to too many numbers being thrown at her. The Old Banshee grumbled and tapped the calculator harder. Then I realized what happened and rushed to the bathroom!

Voter turnout was 16 per cent. The referendum held by the University of Ottawa Students' Union (UOSU) to determine whether it could continue to collect existing student levies previously implemented by the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO) passed on Apr. 5, with four in five voters in favour. Election results for the union's executive committee and board of directors were also announced. The election and referendum, which ran from Apr. 3 until Apr. 5., saw about a 16 per cent voter turnout rate and took place online via an email sent out to U of O student accounts. The turnout was significantly higher than past SFUO elections: In 2016 just below 8 per cent of students voted, while in 2015 this number was about 11.5 per cent. Data on voter turnout was not available for the 2017 or 2018 SFUO elections. The referendum asked students if they were in favour of the UOSU collecting student levies. While students could only answer yes or no to all fees, they were broken into two categories in line with the Progressive Conservatives' Student Choice Initiative (SCI) announced in January: essential and non-essential. Essential fees, which are mandatory for all students to pay with tuition, total $67.07 per semester for full-time students or $36.79 for part-time students. The fee includes funding for union operations, health and wellness, academic support, financial aid, athletics and recreation fee, and central services, including the Career Development Centre, the Student Academic Success Centre, and the office of the Ombudsman. The UOSU will also collect an annual health insurance fee of $245, an increase of about $10 from the SFUO's system. The fee is deemed mandatory under the SCI but optional for students with existing coverage. On the other hand, students will be able to opt-out of non-essential fees when paying tuition. These include a student life fee of $23 for full-time students or $11.50 for part-time students, covering clubs, faculty associations and student orientation. Also included is a collection of $14.25 from full-time students and $10.30 from part-time students on behalf of campus media and the Ontario Public Interest Research Group for funding. The U-Pass, which students pay $415.05 for yearly, was not impacted by the referendum as the program is run by the U of O's administration and not the student union. Election results were also announced, cementing the union's founding executive committee: The four uncontested candidates, Sam Schroeder (advocacy commissioner), Natasha Lyne Roy (Francophone affairs commissioner), Rony Fotsing (operations commissioner), and Jason Seguya (student life commissioner), were all voted in. Seguya is the only executive who was previously involved with the SFUO, where he was promotions officer. The equity commissioner position remains vacant. The UOSU's board of directors is also beginning to take shape but many voids remain. Just 14 of the 22 seats were filled, with vacancies in the faculties of education, law (common law), health sciences, arts, engineering, and science. Barbacar Faye, Jane Dukes, Zaina Abusayma, and Zachary Robichaud won the four available seats for the faculty of social science while Bobby Wong, Alex Ishibi, and Sammy Najm won all three seats for the Telfer School of Management. Safa Saud won one of the seats for the faculty of arts, with two remaining vacant, while Kimberley Paradis took one of the three seats for the faculty of engineering. Sarah Aly won one of the two seats for the faculty of health science and Jinnia Baiye and Noura Aminata Belem took two of three available in the faculty of science. Celina DeBiasio and Jeremy Turbide-Chiasson took the only seats for the faculty of medicine and faculty of law (common law) respectively. The UOSU came to power in February when they beat out the SFUO in a referendum to select which organization would be recognized as the sole union representing undergraduate students at the U of O. Three-quarters of voters chose the UOSU over the SFUO. The U of O terminated its contract with the SFUO in December 2018 after allegations of financial mismanagement, workplace misconduct, improper governance, and internal conflict came to light, spurred by allegations of fraud first broke by La Rotonde and then the Fulcrum in August 2018. A forensic audit from November 2018 into the SFUO's financials, conducted by PwC, did not find fraud but highlighted the SFUO did not have a conflict-of-interest policy. The UOSU's structure differs from the SFUO. While the board of administration had historically been the SFUO's highest governing body up until a few months before the termination date, the UOSU has made the General Assembly (GA), which all undergraduate students are a part of, the top dog instead. Students can override a vote from the board, save decisions related to hiring and firing. The UOSU has opted for a system of commissioners of equal power who work for mandates rather than a system of presidents and vice-presidents, which they said will prevent a hierarchy from coming into place. They also have said they will hire an external and independent professional accountant to work with the GA to manage the union's budget and finances. Updated Apr. 6, 12:00 p.m. to include the names of candidates elected to the board of directors, along with more background on voter turnout and the UOSU's governance structure.

New Jersey and New York City have some of the highest tax rates in the country, so choosing between them can be like picking your poison. Overall, you probably pay less living in New Jersey, because New York City has several extra taxes. However, you cannot judge tax rates going by published figures. In 2011, New Jersey had an income tax rate that varied from 1.4 percent to 8.97 percent. The top tax bracket applied only to taxpayers earning at least $500,000 a year. New York had a state income tax that varied from 4 percent to 8.97 percent for people that made between $8,000 to $500,001 or more, according to the Federation of Tax Administrators. This does not include cities that charge income tax. New York City charges an income tax rate that brings the total effective top tax rate of NYC residents to 12.62 percent. The state of New York levies a 7 percent tax on most sales and New Jersey 4 percent. New York City adds to the sales tax, but New Jersey has no local sales tax. Combined local and state sales tax brings New York City's tax rate to an 8.625 percent, while New Jersey's rate lowers to an average of 6.95 percent. New York and New Jersey exempt food and medical drugs from sales taxes. As long as you do not live in New York City, you do not have to pay New York City's income tax, unless you are an employee of New York City. Also, you cannot avoid NYC income taxes by living in New Jersey. For instance, using a summer home in New Jersey to claim residency there would be considered tax evasion. If someone reports this, you could face penalties and owe back taxes. If you are deciding to live in New Jersey or NYC to get the lowest tax rate, talk to an accountant about how your tax situation might actually look at the end of the year. Exemptions and deductions might make their tax rates comparable. For instance, you can deduct state and local taxes on your federal tax return, assuming all of that is federally taxable. Also, you might pay commuters tax if you live in New York City.

The Re-making of a Relic: The PECO Power Plant The Battery is a highly anticipated redevelopment of one of Philadelphia's (and the world's) most influential waterfront properties. Dating back to 1917, the building served as the former Delaware Generation Station, Philadelphia Electric Co., and the former home to "PECO Towers". Sitting above Penn Treaty Park, along the banks of 1,000 feet of the Delaware River waterfront, the plant provided the city with enough electricity to empower Philadelphia's 20th-century economy. Now it is a once-in-a-generation project led by Lubert-Adler Real Estate Funds and a world-class team of multifamily and commercial real estate professionals. For years, the property has sat vacant, adorned with creative tags from urban explorers and curious visitors. Now, the grand structure is getting a new life as flexible-stay apartments, and a hub for forward-thinking companies that will feature culturally-influential programming and waterfront activation. ...A glorious ruin that is being restored and converted into a mixed-use hub by Lubert-Adler Real Estate Funds. Inga Saffron, The Philadelphia Inquirer One million square foot campus: the former power plant is 223,000 square feet in scale, spanning almost a thousand feet of waterfront, sitting on 16.4 acres of park-like land. One of four power plants situated along the Delaware River designed by legendary John T. Windram, of The Franklin Institute and Family Court fame, the property's future vision can be compared to that of the Tate in London. The plans are to juxtapose the distinctive beauty with creative, culturally-relevant uses and tenants in order to author the next chapter of this relic. The building is the stuff of dreams, and its reuse is a preservation challenge worth accepting. WHYY Philadelphia Lubert-Adler is also working to return Louis Kahn's floating performance hall to his hometown, a short walk from where he grew up at Second and Poplar Streets. Philadelphia's Louis Kahn is widely considered one of the greatest architects of the 20th century, yet only a handful of his works can be found in his hometown. The hall is a floating musical stage that was built for the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations, and then traveled the globe taking music and a message of world peace to waterfront cities. The tricked-out barge, called Point Counterpoint II, would be permanently docked The Battery and turned into a public amenity for Philadelphia to be used for concerts and other cultural events. Powering Philadelphia Why is it relevant for businesses? The Battery is designated locally and nationally as an historic site and also benefits from Pennsylvania's Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) program which provides significant economic incentive for most startups and tech companies (think: tax abatement). Additionally, the area is undergoing a master planning and improvement effort by the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC) that will connect the casino to Penn Treaty park and further down along the trail so that it will become one of the most walkable outdoor destinations in Philadelphia – something hugely valuable to employers as they convince employees to come back to the workplace. This site will be the city's only indoor-outdoor work environment of this caliber that will also include amenities shared with flexible-stay guests and apartment dwellers alike – waterfront access, programming for wellness and fitness, new F&B concepts and more. Creating a visual language for the Battery A significant landmark to be renovated and repurposed, The Battery once produced enough energy to power all of Philadelphia. Today, the allure of The Battery lies in the staggering potential to envision a new kind of energy, powered by a shared sense of purpose, people, and place. A set of historic elements uniquely identifiable with the Philadelphia Electric Company's past, the use of modern overlays and a constant visual juxtaposition remind the viewer that The Battery is authoring that next chapter. We're embracing the rich visual history of this property and the "stamp" it left on Philadelphia – from the electric grid to the economic impact of electricity in the early 20th century – we are honoring this past through our role in branding and storytelling for the redevelopment. From the beginning of our process, we pushed ourselves to imagine Philadelphia's next great waterfront development as not a single building or historic property, but as a true destination to be embraced by visitors and locals alike. For a brand system, we imagined The Battery as a destination equivalent of a museum – considering how multiple brands, food concepts, apartments, flexible-stay options, and public amenity spaces will all collide in one engaging waterfront campus. The identity system must be flexible enough to accommodate all these ideal use-cases, and we aimed to future-proof the identity by considering the property's full potential from the very start. Creating a World-Class Destination Originally created as a showpiece of Philadelphia's ingenuity and industrial might, the building deserves to remain a destination for Philadelphia's future: "With roaring motor rooms, a plexus of ventilation systems, and cavernous turbine halls, the stations were designed to astound and seduce the public with modern technology through commanding architecture that asserted both tradition and progress." – Hidden City Philadelphia Today, while determining how this grand relic will again become a world-class destination for businesses, residential, visitors and cultural exhibits – we defined the naming hierarchy, branding system, and initial lease-up marketing materials to support the project vision. If all comes to fruition as envisioned with the latest redelopment, The Battery will again be equipped to stand the test of time, as a powerful landmark for Philadelphia and the world. You don't set out to compete, you just do things differently. Dean Adler Inside the Transformation of a Philadelphia Landmark – Harbison's Dairy CommArts Recognizes Hotel DuPont Branding

In Space, Nice Guys Finish First Domingo, 10/Abr/2011 The New York Times ReflexionesTestimoniosExploración espacial Soviet sculpture renders all its subjects larger than life, but few more so than Yuri Gagarin, who became the first man in space on April 12, 1961, nearly 50 years ago. A gleaming, 125-foot-tall titanium statue of the world's most famous cosmonaut stands at the nexus of three freeways in Moscow, arms outstretched like a cold war superhero. Gagarin's achievement, and the Soviet playbook that shaped it, made him the most celebrated Soviet hero since Lenin, a triumph of nationalist glory, a role model for the young, a hypermasculine sex symbol. His deification set the "right stuff" tone that NASA would follow with its own astronauts: the lumbering icons in their puffy, complicated suits, incapable of error or weakness or even, it sometimes seemed, emotion.… Seguir leyendo »

Q: Execute multiple git commands In my current project, we have a requirement wherein we have to do the reverse merge from release specific branch (release-0815) to release post each prod deployment. This needs to be done across multiple repositories that has release-0815 branch. Currently, what I do it go to each of these repositories and execute below commands one by one: git checkout release git merge release-0815 --no-ff --no-edit git push origin release Is there a way to loop through a list of repositories and execute the above commands as a single command? A: Is there a way to loop through a list of repositories and execute above commands as a single command? You will need a script to loop over the multiple repositories which can be written in any language. Your script can be in sh,bash, python etc To execute multiple git commands us the && operator git checkout release && git merge release-0815 --no-ff --no-edit && git push origin release but since you are doing rebase and merge it's not recommended in case you have conflicts Sample script for path in `<repositores list>`; do cd $path; git checkout release && git merge release-0815 --no-ff --no-edit && git push origin release done A: To execute above commands as a single command, you can put && between each command if you are on Linux or using Git Bash: git checkout release && git merge release-0815 --no-ff --no-edit && git push origin release If any of the commands fails, all execution will stop. To iterate over multiple repos, you can write a bash script. A: I don't sure about loop, but there is a way to join git commands: Or wrap into the sh script and do anything. git checkout release && git merge release-0815 --no-ff --no-edit && git push origin release A: Let suppose that your repos list is in repos.txt: ~/repo1 ~/repo2 ~/repo3 Loop through all your repos Is there a way to loop through a list of repositories ... loop repos in bash cat $repo_list| while read repo; do <your command> done Execute as single command ... and execute the above commands as a single command? git checkout release && git merge release-0815 --no-ff --no-edit && git push origin release check if repo has specific branch This needs to be done across multiple repositories that has release-0815 branch. git branch -a | grep 'release-0815' && <foo> let's put it together release_name='release-0815' cat $repo_list | while read repo; do git branch -a | grep $release_name && git checkout release && git merge $release_name --no-ff --no-edit && git push origin done A: If all the repositories are within the same directory, let's say something like: projects/repo1 projects/repo2 projects/repo3 Some times I found convenient to use the find command, for example, to update all repositories I do something like: $ cd projects And then: $ find . -type d -depth 1 -exec git --git-dir={}/.git --work-tree=$PWD/{} pull \; Now If I would like to run more commands per project I could use multiple times the option -exec, for example: $ find . -type d -depth 1 \ -exec git --git-dir={}/.git --work-tree=$PWD/{} pull \; \ -exec git --git-dir={}/.git --work-tree=$PWD/{} remote -v \; In your case probably could be something like: $ find . -type d -depth 1 \ -exec git --git-dir={}/.git --work-tree=$PWD/{} checkout release \; \ -exec git --git-dir={}/.git --work-tree=$PWD/{} merge release-0815 --no-ff --no-edit \; \ -exec git --git-dir={}/.git --work-tree=$PWD/{} push origin release \; Note that in this case, the second command will only run if the first one returns successfully.

Князь Иван Семёнович Путята Друцкий (ум. после 1466) — государственный деятель Великого княжества Литовского, родоначальник ветви князей Путятичей, по переселении в Россию ставших называться Путятиными. Биография Второй сын князя Семёна Дмитриевича Друцкого. Впервые упоминается в 1422 году как один из гарантов Мельненского мира с Тевтонским орденом. В 1424 году вместе со старшим братом Иваном Бабой Друцким был послан Витовтом на помощь московским войскам для отражения набега ордынского царевича Худайдата на Одоевское княжество. Был верным сторонником Свидригайла, участвовал в подписании договора этого князя с Ягайлом о статусе Западного Подолья (29.11.1430). 19 июня 1431 подписал договор Свидригайла с Орденом, 2 сентября 1431 подписал договор короля Владислава и Свидригайла с Орденом, 15 мая 1432 подписал еще один договор Свидригайла и Тевтонского ордена, заключенный в Христмемеле. В 1431 году подписал Чарторыйское перемирие с Польшей, завершившее Луцкую войну. В 1433 году стал воеводой смоленским. Во время гражданской войны в Литве 22 марта 1433 подписал послание сторонников Свидригайла к Базельскому собору. После поражения Свидригайла ушел с ним на Волынь, при этом сохранил право на часть Друцкого княжества; в 1437—1438 годах подписал привилегии, данные Свидригайлом Луцку. В 1440 году встречал Казимира IV, прибывшего в Литву, не позднее 1443 года получил от него Слободку в Оршанском повете, «што держалъ кн(я)зь Александро Кинъдыревич», а впоследствии и другие владения. Согласно Оскару Халецкому, в 1458 и 1466 годах приезжал в Острог. С.В. Полехов полагает, что Путята умер не позднее конца 1450-х годов, «поскольку в это время уже действуют его сыновья». Печать Путяты от 1423 года со знаком в виде процветшего креста, которым пользовались и его потомки, приведена в издании «Снимки древних русских печатей государственных, царских, областных, городских, присутственных мест и частных лиц». Она привешена к документу, хранившемуся в Пулавах в собрании древних актов князей Чарторыйских. Дети: князь Василий Иванович Путятич. Жил в селении Горы, близ Друцка, основатель линии князей Друцких-Горских князь Иван Иванович Путятич. Основатель ветви князей Путятиных, поселившихся в Новгородской земле князь Дмитрий Иванович Путятич (ум. 1505), воевода Киевский князь Михаил Иванович Путятич. Основатель ветви князей Шишевских-Толочинских Литература — С. 100, 125—126 — С. 191 — С. 228—229 — С. 600 — С. 295 — С. 579—580 — С. 80 — s. 256 — s. 61 Друцкие Путятины (князья)

PFA was a Cayman Islands licensed insurance company that provided insurance and annuity products primarily to individuals and groups in South America. The principals of the company had misappropriated life insurance premiums and annuity investments. Regulators in both the US (the SEC) and the Cayman Islands decided they needed to take enforcement action and respectively appointed an SEC receiver and a controller (subsequently liquidator) over the entity. KRyS Global was appointed liquidator in the Cayman proceedings. The company's books and records, assets, and potential litigation were located in both the Cayman Islands and the United States. As both the SEC receiver and KRyS Global had duties with regards to those records and assets, there was a heighted risk that both parties would litigate in an effort to realise the same assets, as well as result in a duplication of efforts and confusion for the company's policyholders. These factors could have resulted in either a costly, inefficient, and ineffective process at the expense of the PFA's creditors, which had already been victimised. In order to overcome these difficulties, the SEC receiver and KRyS Global negotiated and agreed to a binding international protocol and co-operation agreement that was sanctioned by both courts in the Cayman Islands and in the United States. The agreement allocated responsibilities between the representatives in pursuit of specific assets, adjudication of claims, and in effecting distributions. The SEC Receiver and KRyS Global were able to focus their limited and valuable resources in a cooperative approach that maximized asset recoveries and avoided wasting time in conflict. The result was a more orderly and efficient global administration of the company's affairs resulting in distribution to creditors. After this case was concluded, the Cayman Islands reformed its insolvency law. Included in the reforms is a provision requiring liquidators to consider, when a foreign representative has been appointed in another jurisdiction, whether an international protocol / cooperation agreement is appropriate.

Ipnoide, stato di coscienza assai simile alla condizione che l'ipnosi realizza nell'ipnotizzato. Lo stato di ipnosi è caratterizzato da una serie di modificazioni di ordine viscerale, morale, somatico e psichico. Praticamente ogni aspetto della vita psichica può risultare modificato dalla situazione di ipnosi. Generalmente sono soprattutto coinvolte la memoria (amnesia, ipermnesia, regressione di età), la percezione (iperestesia, allucinazione); processi intellettivi (blocco delle capacità critiche, modificazioni dell'ideazione, comportamento compulsivo postipnotico). Per quanto il carattere automatico delle risposte ipnotiche possa alle prime far pensare ad un annullamento totale della volitività dell'ipnotizzando, più profondi studi sull'argomento indirizzano ad una visione dell'ipnosi come relazione tra due soggetti (ipnotista-ipnotizzando) delicata e ricca di fattori psichici implicati, piuttosto che come univoca manipolazione della personalità dell'ipnotizzato. Si rileva infatti che non è possibile indurre il soggetto a compiere atti criminali o comunque profondamente contrari alla personalità di base del soggetto. Molte delle modificazioni psichiche riferite nell'ipnosi si ritrovano nello stato cosiddetto ipnoide in particolare il comportamento automatico e le alterazioni della memoria (soprattutto ipermnesia). È noto che Joseph Breuer sfruttava lo stato ipnoide per impostare le prime rudimentali procedure psicoterapeutiche e che da esse Sigmund Freud prese lo spunto per l'elaborazione del complesso sistema psicoanalitico.

If I recall, the recommended tongue weight is to be less than 25 lbs????? I just bought a 120 quart cooler and it weights 19.5 lbs. dry. I see other people with larger coolers and even a home built rack to support it. What tongue weight is others running with? Would an extended tongue make much difference? I have the ac and most things packed to the rear of the trailer to take tongue weight off, but you can only do so much. When I got to my destination, I disconnected the trailer, put the bike up on the centr stand and went through it, everything seemed fine and tight. I went to the trailer next. Ken had an extra 1 7/8 ball, and with the trailer hitch in the latched position, I was able to slide the ball right in....... After inspecting it, I found the 1/2-20 adjustment nut lose and in pretty bade shape so I went and bought 2 nuts, a neoprene washer one, like the one that was on it and a locking one. I installed the locking one because I felt it grabbed and held better. Handles great now. But I feel if it wasn't for the added tongue weight, it would have been much more disastrous, specially on the horrible Ohio roads doing 75 to 80 MPH. I highly recommend, if your trailer is a couple years old that you replace the $0.63 nut. Recommended tongue is minimum of 10% of total trailer weight. A longer tongue will help with the weight distribution it will put less weight on the coupler end. This is needed to keep the trailer from swaying when you are going down the road. The amount of weight you can put on the tongue is limited by the strength of your hitch, and how close your Bike already is to being at it's maximum weight, for example a passenger on the seat will mean the bike is already pretty well loaded so too much tongue weight may cause problems with the bike's suspension. You don't want to have too light a tongue weight or you will have handling problems! When I 1st got my Sentry, with a tongue weight of 36 lbs and on my way home, I experienced some serious wagging when in close behind a 18 wheeler and it is no fun! Even with approx 65 lbs tongue weight (after adding a case of water and moving my heavy items forward), I would still occasionally get wagging around 18 wheelers. I sure didn't want to go any heavier than that!!! Now, I like to keep mine at around the 34 lb mark, but I also lengthened my tongue by 18" and I find it handles much better than the standard length one! Something to keep in mind, The more tongue weight you have (up to a point), the more stable the rig is, BUT - The more tongue weight you have, the less weight you have on your front tire. Now in normal conditions that is not a problem, but if the road is wet, LOOK out. The last thing you want is to be traveling along in the rain & have a car (or animal) come out in front of you & you have to make a panic stop. It's bad enough to do that with a trailer, but now add wet conditions & that's a recipe for a bad day. Returned from the trip and trailer handled well. At first, I had a very light feeling front end. The bike was easily shaken on the interstate. We pulled over and adjusted the preload on the suspension. Worlds of difference going from 4 to 15! Had no issues the rest of the trip. I recently installed the Progressive springs front and rear. The rear spring made such a difference. Didn't think the preload would help handling so much, but it was a simple fix! Looking into what is packed verses what is used. Little by little this is getting more dialed in. Thanks for the responses! We have the optional long tongue. I put a 52 ah power chair battery in the very back of the trailer and found the front weight was hard to keep. So with the cooler on the front, the A/C in the front basement and other stuff fairly distributed I end up with a tongue weight of ??. Actually it is a relatively easy lift for me and enough to make the Bride complain. As for trailing. We have found no problem. Just west of Wendover, NV we hit a couple 5 minute rains heavy enough to wet the road well and make the windscreen messy. I let a car pass us so I could watch him if he had any curves happening. Looked down and we were doing 80 mph. Was more scary at the idea of that fast in rain rather than the actual feel. That Dark Side rain tire is fantastic in the wet. We also have electric brakes on the trailer. I found in the hills and etc. if I lightly applied the front brake which sent a brake signal to the controller I could feel the brakes on the trailer apply just enough to balance stopping. That is with the controller set at the lowest setting on it. We put a new E3 tire on the front before we left. Has balance beads in it and after 7k miles it still looks low miles.

FRENEAU, PHILIP [MORIN] (1752-1832). An "occasional" poet born in New York City, Philip Freneau during his long life wrote lyric and narrative poems on a wide range of subjects. Since he spent many years working on ships, a sizable number of these concern the sea. Freneau in 1768 entered the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), where fellow students James Madison and Hugh Henry Bracken- ridge encouraged his penchant for intellectual speculation. Later, during the war against England, Freneau wrote political poetry and was tagged "the Poet of the American Revolution." Some of Freneau's earliest poems deal with the sea, including collegiate verses such as "The History of the Prophet Jonah" (written in 1768) and "Columbus to Ferdinand" (1770), the latter depicting Christopher Columbus* as both an adventurer and a champion of reason who sought to prove that the other side of the earth was not all water. One of Freneau's best-known collegiate poems, "The Rising Glory of America" (1771), cowritten with Brackenridge in response to the unpopular Stamp Act, predicted the emergence of a Utopian political entity extending "from the Atlantic to the Pacific shores." Between 1776 and 1778 Freneau avoided the chaos in the wartime colonies by working as a sailor on trading vessels in the Atlantic and Caribbean* and by serving as the secretary of a sugar plantation on the island of Santa Cruz. A major poem from this period, "The Beauties of Santa Cruz" (1776), features, alongside highly romanticized descriptions of the island's tropical landscape, Freneau's identification with the plight of slaves. The poet's disdain for the institution of slavery was most memorably expressed in a later poem set in the West Indies, "To Sir Toby" (1784). In 1778 Freneau returned home to enlist in the New Jersey militia, spending the next two years leading trading and privateering expeditions. In 1780 Freneau's ship Aurora was captured by the British navy; the poet was imprisoned in New York harbor, an experience that inspired his important protest poem, "The British Prison Ship" (1780). Between 1781 and 1783 Freneau was based in Philadelphia, where he contributed both poetry and prose to the anti-British periodical Freeman's Journal. Although living inland, he continued to write about the sea. For example, in "On the Late Royal Sloop of War General Monk" (1782), the poet lauded the April 1782 victory of Hyder Ally over the British ship General Monk. Freneau's "On the Memorable Victory" (1781) celebrated patriot John Paul Jones'* heroic 1779 conquest of a fleet of British warships. Freneau captained numerous trading expeditions from 1785 to 1790, probably to earn money for his marriage to Eleanor Forman. Living apart from the woman he loved, Freneau composed elegiac poems—including "Philander: Or the Emigrant" (c. 1788), "To Cynthia" (1789), and "Florio to Amanda" (1789)—modeled on early eighteenth-century British neoclassical poetry; all of these poems depict lovers separated by the sea. During this period he also composed descriptive poems evoking the natural environment of the Caribbean and the Atlantic, including "The Hurricane" (1785) and "The Bermuda Islands" (1788). By the early 1800s the difficulty of making a living in publishing and the need to support his family convinced Freneau to return to the sea to work as a trader. Poems from this period of sea voyaging are more reflective and less descriptive than earlier efforts; the poet now favored romantic revelry ("Lines Written at Sea" [c. 1800]) and perceptive characterizations of island people ("The Nautical Rendezvous" [1800]). About 1807 Freneau returned to New Jersey, struggled to support his family by farming, and never ventured to sea again. In 1815 Freneau published a collection ofWar of 1812 poems that largely commemorate naval warfare, including "The Battle of Lake Erie" (1813), "The Terrific Torpedoes" (1814), and "On the Naval Attack near Baltimore" (1814). Although a house fire destroyed many of his manuscripts, papers, and letters in 1818, Freneau continued to write poems until his death. He was the most prolific colonial American poet, with over 550 poems and many prose pieces preserved in print.

Fruit snack sound like they are the perfect for a busy family's snack arsenal- they are portable, loved by kids and they sound like they should be made with fruit, right? Unfortunately, while there are healthier versions on the market now, now fruit snacks are full of corn syrup and food coloring. Try making the super easy-peasy using pure fruit juice concentrate and grass fed beef gelatin for a whole some snack. In less then 20 minutes you can be in bouncy fruit snack heaven! I store mine in the refrigerator in single serve portions though they travel just fine in a baggie to the park unrefrigerated. I cut these simply into cubes, but try using cute silicone candy molds for shaped fruit snack fun. Yay! Lightly oil an 4″x 2" mini loaf pan. Pour juice concentrate into a small sauce pan. Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over juice. Allow to set for a minute for gelatin to absorb the juice. Place pan over medium-low heat, whisking mixture until gelatin is just melted and dissolved. Pour mixture into oiled loaf pan. Place into refrigerator for 15 minutes or until set. When fruit snacks are set, slide a thin bladed table knife or spatula around the edges of the pan. Turn pan over onto cutting board, then slice into cubes using a sharp knife. Store in an air tight container.

Village clinics comprise longer term projects. It will take time to train women in acupuncture and other CM treatment modalities. HAP is endeavoring to build a scholarship fund for the village women, traditionally considered second-class citizens, for living expenses, educational materials, and acupuncture and other supplies while they study at the monastery and thus acquire the means to earn a living on their own. Sanjeeb has been provisionally designated as the coordinator of the village clinics since he is intimately knowledgeable about the villages and remote areas. HAP estimates that $1,400 will be needed for each scholarship per year.

Commentary: Academic Success It's about science, not luck. Brooke Curran raises monies for children's charities through the nonprofit RunningBrooke Fund. Photo contributed By Brooke Curran Did you know that kids who move more do better in school? It's not just proven by test results, it's proven by scientific research. Research has shown that physical movement can affect the brain's physiology by increasing cerebral capillary growth, blood flow, neurotransmitter levels and brain tissue volume, just to name a few. Studies show that active kids have better focus, do better academically, have improved behavior and social skills and are more physically fit. What does this mean for Alexandria's under-served youth, many of which may not have access to programs, playgrounds and activities that give them an outlet for physical activity? We know that two out of three of our kids don't get the recommended daily activity of 60 minutes a day. We also know that 30 percent of our kids don't pass their third grade tests, an important indicator of future success, and that the most at risk are our underserved students, 36 percent of whom live below the poverty rate and are especially vulnerable to failure. When we get kids moving and elevating their heart rates, we give them a better shot at academic achievement and a better shot at success at school and in life. By working with the city, other local nonprofits, teachers and extracurricular organizations to combine movement and learning into their plans and curriculum, we begin to give kids what they need to gain the academic advantage that other kids in our community have access to through private programs and sports. By working to raise awareness among educators and community leaders, we empower those already invested in our under-served youth to serve them in an even stronger way. To find out more about how you can help get kids moving to spark academic learning in the classroom, visit runningbrooke.org.

The Eurozone is doomed. For the things they say they need to do they just can't agree to do (see Like it or not, the euro is doomed by Hibah Yousuf posted 12/9/2011 on CNN Money). European leaders, particularly from France and Germany — the eurozone's two largest economies — have had very different views on the ultimate role of the fiscal compact, and the latest proposals are just "too little, too late, and miss the structural problem," said Leach. Germany has been strongly opposed to sending the ECB down a path of printing money to stabilize Europe's economy. Hyperinflation and the collapse didn't happen when they started printing money. These happened after they printed a lot of money. It was a progression. For it takes time to make your currency worthless. Which is something the Germans don't want to experience again. Because it didn't end well for them the first time. Afseth said the fiscal union needs to focus more on boosting economic growth, rather than just pushing for budgetary discipline and fiscal austerity. And it needs to advocate for pooling the eurozone's debt together, so the region can issue eurobonds, another highly contentious topic among Europe's political leaders. Despite the multitude and extent of the political disagreements that could lead to the eurozone's crumble in the near-term, more optimistic experts say Europe's leaders will likely find a middle ground to avoid the severe economic consequences. "The political arguments are strong, but they come against a hard economic reality," said Andrew Milligan, head of global strategy at Standard Life Investments in Edinburgh, Scotland, noting that the costs for a single country leaving the eurozone could amount to at least 15% or 25% of its economy, if not more. There are those who want the European Central Bank (ECB) to assume the debt of the member states. Like the U.S. did in 1790. But the Americans already had a currency union. And a political union. As well as a common language. A common heritage. Common institutions. A national post office. And a lot of other common things. With only about 100 years of history. And despite all of this the idea of assumption did not go over well. It took a fight. And some wheeling and dealing. Europe, on the other hand, has only a common currency. And they've been around for about 2,000 years of history. So chances are all they will have is a common currency. And they may not be able to save that. The Eurozone was the answer to the United States. The world's number one economy. Because within her borders was the largest free trade zone in the world. Which exploded her economic growth to the top spot. The Eurozone was to replicate that in Europe. A united states of Europe. And it worked. But it probably won't last. If only one nation drops out of the Eurozone it could reduce the economy of the united states of Europe by 25%. And if one goes more will probably follow. This economic powerhouse will be united no longer. And it will probably plunge Europe into recession. "A break-up could result in very major recession in Europe, and so it's hard to imagine how any politicians and governments could possibly make a conscious, voluntary decisions to leave the eurozone," said Milligan. So clearly the Euro failing will be too painful to endure. So painful that the member states will try everything within their power to prevent that. Including trying to get the ECB to issue Eurobonds. And print money. Much like Richard Nixon did when he abandoned the gold standard in 1971. Saying he was then a Keynesian, too. And the U.S. spun out of control with double digit inflation rates. High unemployment. Stagflation. And it wasn't Keynesian economics that finally fixed this mess. It was the anti-inflation policies of Paul Volcker of the central bank. He raised interest rates. And stopped printing money. This fixed the inflation problem. Then Ronald Reagan fixed the economic problem. By cutting taxes. Something the Europeans may not be physiologically able to do. So it really doesn't matter what they do. For the end will be the same. It may be sooner or later. But the Eurozone will most probably dissolve. Because they will never have the fiscal or political union required to make a currency union work. Keynesian economics is a lot like the first 2 rules of business. Rule number 1: the customer is always right. Rule number 2: when the customer is wrong see rule number 1. Keynesian economics has a similar set of rules. Keynesian economic rule number 1: Keynesian economics always works. Keynesian economic rule number 2: when Keynesian economics doesn't work see Keynesian economics rule number 1. Paul Krugman holds these Keynesian economic rules sacred. He can go and an on about Keynesian macroeconomic principles to explain why the economy is still wallowing in recession despite massive doses of Keynesian economic stimulus. Because it always goes back to these two Keynesian economic rules. You see, in his world there is no such thing as a Keynesian failure. For when there is there is a reason. And that reason is that we didn't go Keynesian enough. It's obvious that Keynesian economics works. Just look at Keynesian economics rules 1 &2. Need I say more? At least, this is ultimately the argument Paul Krugman makes. Which is purely political. And rather ironic. For he calls the non-political economic system, Austrian economics, political (see Krugman Disses Hayek by Peter Klein posted 12/6/2011 on The Independent Institute). Hayek's Austrian economics does not feature the government playing an active role. Keynesian economics does. That's why it's the economics system of governments everywhere. Because it empowers them. Gives them 'authority' to tax and spend and 'stimulate'. Because a lot of macroeconomic graphs say it works despites all empirical evidence that it doesn't. Now if that doesn't say politics nothing does. Keynesian economics is political economics. Which explains why the biggest of Big Governments choose it for their economics. Not because it works. But because it gives them political power.

Most of the produce found in the average grocery store has been picked long before you place it in your cart: Lettuce, for instance, is often stored up to four weeks; tomatoes, up to six weeks; carrots, up to nine months; and apples, up to over a year. When you grow your own veggies, you pick them when they're ready to eat. Do you know where your produce is grown and what laws protect the food you eat? Different countries have differing laws governing the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Even in the United States, most conventional produce is treated with synthetic pesticides and other plant protectants. At NanoFarms, we use organic seeds, materials, and methods to grow your food, minimizing the risk of exposure and intake of these man-made substances found in your food. Studies have shown that food grown with organic methods has higher amounts of valuable vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Why not ensure that you family is getting the best, most nutritious produce available? In conventional farming practices, nutrients are artificially put into the soil, and plants are genetically selected for color and size of fruit they produce. As farmers of high-quality produce, we grow veggies for their flavor and the natural nutrients they provide. As a culture entrenched in technology, we have become more and more disconnected from the land and the food we eat. Often our food is broken down to caloric and nutrient intake only. Growing our own food encourages us to take a more holistic approach to our health by connecting with what we eat and enhancing the social aspect of sharing a meal with family and friends. As a customer of NanoFarms USA, you are supporting people from low-income backgrounds and helping them earn for their families a decent living. Over the past ten years, the housing and rent prices in the Bay Area have skyrocketed to the highest in the nation. Many families are being forced by these rising costs to leave their homes and communities. By supporting this endeavor, you are making it possible for these families to stay in their communities.

For chocolate purists, Deep Dark Classic (Php 65) is the one for you. It wasn't too sweet but it they didn't scrimp on the yummy frosting for this one. If you want a bit of twist, try the Bailey's Chocolate Cake (Php 72), which has a little but not overwhelming hint of Bailey's and Chocolate Hazelnut (Php 82). The real star is the Death by Tablea (Php 88), which is has a bittersweet blend of tablea and condensed milk. It was sinfully good that I bought a 6-inch cake for my mom (it's the day before Mother's day). If you want to try something non-chocolate, try the NY Cheesecake (Php 110), which is really creamy! The texture is perfect and it wasn't too sweet. Chocolat also serves hot and cold beverages that would go well with the delicious cakes. They serve hot tea, hot chocolates, milkshakes and coffee. I got myself a regular Cafe Latte (Php 65), which is very milky for my taste (maybe I really just prefer stronger coffee). Read about the benefits of Dark Chocolate here. Other branches are SM Mall of Asia, San Juan and Sgt. Esguerra. yeah! good news they're opening na in makati daw this june! Darn. Now I have a new place to add to my list. Kelangan namin magtipid ni FM! May Cebu trip pa kami at mga international na plans. Gah! I would love Chocolat. I hope they will open too in Davao.:)) I am such a chocolate cake addict.:)) Just having a choco moist cake now while reading this..hahah! Oh. hidden in Katipunan? Never saw that. But I am always in the katip area. LOL. Looks good and so affordable!!!!! Me & my friends already tried it! Thanks to you!

Hastings Museum 2 1954 Sale of Exhibits 3 Key Collections 3.1 Local History & Grey Owl 3.2 Local Studies Room 3.3 Archaeology 3.4 Durbar Hall 3.5 Burton Collection 4 1998/9 Refurbishment 5 Regular Events 6 Curators 7 2020 Coronavirus Closure Although a Museum has existed in Hastings since 1890 at the Brassey Institute[1][2] , the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery is currently based in what used to be a private residence known as John's Place, this giving its name to the road between the museum and Bohemia Road. Discussions with regards to the location of a new museum were reported in the Observer as early as 1921, Sidney Little, the borough engineer drew up plans for the conversion of this building in March 1923 suggesting that negotiations with the then owners were already in an advanced stage.[3]The premises were finally purchased for the sum of £7500 in 1927[4], the museum finally moving in during 1928. A planning application in August 1924 concerned a drying room and a store.[5]An extension was constructed to hold the 'Durbar Room' and 'Indian Collection'.[6] Prior to John's Place being secured, there were plans to house at least part of the town's collection, particularly the 'Durbar Room' which Thomas Brassey had purchased and previously used to exhibit his wife's collection at his London home, in a new building on the opposite side to the White Rock Pavilion in Schwerte Way with a building similar in style to the pavilion (this room having been in storage in a council warehouse for a number of years). Other locations that were considered were a purpose built building in Hickman's Field (Near the junction between Cambridge Road and White Rock Road) and a further location that had been ear-marked some years previous in White Rock Gardens.[7] 1954 Sale of Exhibits[edit] In 1954, the museum advertised for sale, a large number of exhibits, listing them in the Hastings & St Leonards Observer in six groups as follows; Group A - Ceramics. Miscellaneous English, German, French, Chinese and Japanese. Group B - Ivories. Mostly Japanese, many of them signed specimens, including 37 figures. 105 netsukes (nearly all ivory), 2 carved heads and a tall, carved Italian loving cup. Group C - Oriental.Collection of Oriental antiquities, including 45 Tsuba, 23 Kozuka, 16 Menuki, 19 Kana-mono and set of chessmen on carved concentric balls (less two red pawns). Group D - Seals. Over sixty seals in gold, brass, steel, glass, etc. Group E - Horse brasses. A collection said to have been formed about 50 years ago: 102 horse brasses, 20 other pieces of brass horse decoration and 26 from coaches (heraldic). Group F - Miscellaneous. Brassware, shoes, a few enamels, 6 miniatures, beads, boxes. Blue John, fans, purses, etc., etc., and Italian carved bellows (c. 1550). Bidding for the lots were to be by sealed tenders to be submitted to the Chief Education Officer at Wellington Square[8] Key Collections[edit] Among the almost 100,000 items in the museum's collection, key exhibits in the museum are local history, natural sciences, fine & decorative arts, and world cultures. Local History & Grey Owl[edit] There is a gallery relating to the local area from prehistory to the Saxons. A series of dioramas of locally found wildlife occupy a further gallery on the first floor. The Native North American collection relates the life of Hastings-born conservationist Archibald Belaney on the American plains, who adopted the name "Grey Owl". Local Studies Room[edit] The museum also offers a room, the local studies room, which houses a vast collection of images, maps, publications and unpublished notes covering all areas of local history. This room is typically opened once per week. See the Museum's Calendar for exact dates/times of opening. Archaeology[edit] The Museum has a large Archaeological collection including around 2,500 flints and over 10,000 excavated artefacts. Many of these come from sites in and around Hastings; these permit a picture of human habitation locally to be developed from prehistory to the medieval period. Excavated material from as far away as South Africa, Japan and South America is also on display.[9] Durbar Hall[edit] The Durbar Hall having been built for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition by Lady Brassey 1886, was donated to the museum in 1919 as part of the Brassey Collection. This is now available as a venue for weddings, and the adjoining art gallery utilised for many lectures and music recitals. Burton Collection[edit] There is also a Burton Collection relating the London developer of St Leonards (James Burton and his architect son, Decimus) held by the Museum.[10] 1998/9 Refurbishment[edit] Around 1998/9, the museum underwent a refurbishment, with an extension that provided additional gallery space and incorporated a passenger lift between the ground and first floor[11] Regular Events[edit] The Local Studies Room is open every Wednesday for members of the public to access the museum's extensive collection of photographs, maps, notebooks and other works. Curators[edit] 1905 1935 William Ruskin Butterfield 1935 1972 John Manwaring Baines 1972 1982 David Devenish 1982 2008 Victoria Williams 2008 2018 Cathy Walling Since 2018, the internal structure of the museum's staff changed, the role of curator being merged with several others and merged and changed into different roles.[12] Current Staff are; Damian Etherington is Museum and Cultural Development Manager (2018 - present) Eleanor Lanyon is Collections and Engagement Curator (Human History) (2019 - present) Philip Hadland is Collections and Engagement Curator (Natural Sciences) (2019 - present) Lisa Finch is Collections and Engagement Curator (Fine Art) (2019 - present) 2020 Coronavirus Closure[edit] In common with many public buildings, the museum closed on the 17th March 2020 due to the Coronavirus Outbreak and moved to delivering digital content using #HastingsDigitalMuseum.

Washington has some of the harshest DUI penalties and consequences in the nation. In addition, our statutes include mandatory minimum penalties that prevent the judge from suspending the entire penalties. The typical first DUI conviction has mandatory court expenses of at least $4,645.50 and a third conviction involves mandatory court expenses of $25,470.50. The maximum court expenses may reach $76,820.50. With the spread of computers and digital records, we are experiencing a flood of consequences beyond the traditional court penalties. It is easy to see that the costs of your DUI will far exceed your anticipated attorney fees and that an experienced attorney will save you far more than his fee.

Honolulu is a great city, but one thing it doesn't get enough of is big-name musical acts flying in to perform. So when it was announced that legendary goth rock band The Cure was going to be playing at the Blaisdell Arena at the end of July, I was stoked. When we showed up that night, it was obvious that a significant chunk of Honolulu felt the same. The place was packed to capacity—almost 9,000 people of all ages, mostly dressed in black, but otherwise looking entirely too happy and excited for such a supposedly mopey fanbase. On the way into the arena, there were prominently posted signs warning, "NO CAMERAS." Notices like this are getting to be increasingly common at music events, but they're also getting more and more pointless, given that almost 60 percent of the audience members are carrying smartphones in their pockets and purses. Sure enough, when the lights went down and The Cure took the stage, the crowd in front of me turned into a forest of upheld arms, each sprouting a glowing phone screen. Sorry guys, it's not going to happen. Rather than act like substitute teachers who can't get their classes to settle down, I think it's time for everyone to embrace smartphones as an integral part of the concert-going experience. For one thing, they really do add to the visceral thrill of being in a crowd of thousands of boisterous fans. The scene before me at The Cure show, a shifting sea of heads, dotted with soft points of light, was lovely—phones have become the new lighters, held aloft in tribute. But the real beauty of a crowd armed with camera phones goes beyond its visual spectacle. Because those people aren't just snapping photos for their scrapbook. They're uploading them instantaneously to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Vine. They're not missing the moment, they're sharing it. And when it's at something as large and popular as a concert, all those posts become a social happening in their own right. If you were on Facebook or Instagram at all on July 30, you probably got a taste of what was happening at the Blaisdell Arena, even if you didn't attend the concert. My social media feeds that evening were completely taken over by Cure mania. Even friends who weren't at the show were posting pictures about how they weren't at the show. A lot of the concert shots looked pretty much the same—there's a limit to what you can capture with a phone camera in a big, dark arena—but the avalanche of photos, each taken from a slightly different viewpoint, gave a cumulative sense of connection to the people around me. It would have been a great show even without the Instagram flurry—The Cure played three-and-a-half hours of fan favorites—but I'm glad so many people were rude enough to ignore the no-cameras sign.

Q: Match attribute value of XML string in JS I've researched stackoverflow and find similar results but it is not really what I wanted. Given an xml string: "<a b=\"c\"></a>" in javascript context, I want to create a regex that will capture the attribute value including the quotation marks. NOTE: this is similar if you're using single quotation marks. Currently I have a regular expression tailored to the XML specification: [_A-Za-z][\w\.\-]*(?:=\"[^\"]*\")? [_A-Za-z][\w\.\-]* //This will match the attribute name. (?:=\"[^\"]*\")? //This will match the attribute value. \"[^\"]*\" //This part concerns me. My question now is, what if the xml string looks like this: <shout statement="Hi! \"Richeve\"."></shout> I know this is a dumb question to ask but I just want to capture rare cases that this scenario might happen (I know the coder can use single quotes on this scenario) but there are cases that we don't know the current value of the attribute given that the attribute value changes dynamically at runtime. So to make this clearer, the result of that using the correct regex should be: "Hi! \"Richeve\"." I hope my question is clear. Thanks for all the help! PS: Note that the language context is Javascript and I know it is tempting to use lookbehinds but currently lookbehinds are not supported. PS: I know it is really hard to parse XML but I have an elegant solution to this :) so I just need this small problem to be solved. So this problem only main focus is capturing quotation marked string tokens containing quotation marks inside the string token. A: The standard pattern for content with matching delimiters and embedded escaped delimiters goes like this: "[^"\\]*(?:\\.[^"\\]*)*" Ignoring the obvious first and last characters in the pattern, here's how the rest of the pattern works: [^"\\]*: Consume all characters until a delimiter OR backslash (matching Hi! in your example) (?:\\.[^"\\]*)* Try to consume a single escaped character \\. followed by a series of non delimiter/backslash characters, repeatedly (matching \"Richeve first and then \". next in your example) That's it. You can try to use a more generic delimiter approach using (['"]) and back references, or you can just allow for an alternate pattern with single quotes like so: ("[^"\\]*(?:\\.[^"\\]*)*"|'[^'\\]*(?:\\.[^'\\]*)*') Here's another description of this technique that might also help (see the section called Strings): http://www.regular-expressions.info/examplesprogrammer.html A: Description I'm pretty really sure embedding double quotes inside a double quoted attribute value is not legal. You could use the unicode equivalent of a double quote \x22 inside the value. However to answer the question, this expression will: * *allow escaped quotes inside attribute values *capture the attribute statement 's value *allow attributes to appear in any order inside the tag *will avoid many of the edge cases which will trip up pattern matching inside html text *doesn't use lookbehinds <shout\b(?=\s)(?=(?:[^>=]|='(?:[^']|\\')*'|="(?:[^"]|\\")*"|=[^'"][^\s>]*)*?\sstatement=(['"])((?:\\['"]|.)*?)\1(?:\s|\/>|>))(?:[^>=]|='(?:[^']|\\')*'|="(?:[^"]|\\")*"|=[^'"][^\s>]*)*>.*?<\/shout> Example * *Pretty Rubular *Ugly RegexPlanet set to Javascript Sample Text Note the difficult edge case in the first attribute :) <shout onmouseover=' statement="He said \"I am Inside the onMouseOver\" " ; if ( 6 > a ) { funRotate(statement) } ; ' statement="Hi! \"Richeve\"." title="sometitle">SomeString</shout> Matches Group 0 gets the entire tag from open to close Group 1 gets the quote surrounding the statement attribute value, this is used to match the closing quote correctly Group 2 gets the statement attribute value which may include escaped quotes like \" but not including the surrounding quotes [0][0] = <shout onmouseover=' statement="He said \"I am Inside the onMouseOver\" " ; if ( 6 > a ) { funRotate(statement) } ; ' statement="Hi! \"Richeve\"." title="sometitle">SomeString</shout> [0][1] = " [0][2] = Hi! \"Richeve\".

LeafLine Labs shows off medical marijuana facility in Cottage Grove Minnesotans will begin legal treatments with medical marijuana on July 1, and LeafLine Labs in Cottage Grove has already produced its first batch to begin dispensing. So far, 65 Minnesotans are certified for medical cannabis, while 14 are approved to get it in just two weeks. The company invited the media in to take a tour of the brand new facility. Jon Lane, LeafLine Labs, said it takes about four months total for these plants to produce the THC and CBD compounds that can be used to treat 9 conditions -- the top three being cancer, epilepsy, and MS. There's bout 2,500 plants in the main grow room, where they go from seed to maturity in about 55 days – "And then there's about another 60 days of the flowering cycle, 60 to 72 days depending on the variety," Lane said. There will be 8 clinics in Minnesota where medical marijuana will be dispensed. Minnesota Medical Solutions and LeafLine Labs will operate four each. LeafLine Labs' first clinic will open July 1 in Eagan, and the others are to follow. "There's no end to enrollment, so we expect that as people become more familiar and comfortable with the program, those numbers will continue to rise," Michelle Larson, Minnesota Department of Health, said.

In an effort to improve the way the Cleveland Trust Company did business, company president Frederick Goff established the world's first community foundation, The Cleveland Foundation in Ohio. His company, like many others, managed several small endowed charitable trusts, some of which were established for specific purposes and others which were intended simply to benefit the residents of greater Cleveland. Goff's company was having difficulty identifying the most worthy recipients for the income from these trusts. His solution created a separate organization. The bank would continue to do what it did best (investments) while the foundation would do what it did best (grant making). Private foundations came under increasing attack for a perception that they abused their tax-exempt status. Lifetime gifts to a community foundation of certain kinds of appreciated property, such as real estate and interests in closely-held businesses, can be deducted at full fair-market value. The annual deduction limit for individual gifts is higher for a community foundation than for a private foundation. Community foundations are free from excise tax and other requirements that apply to private foundations, enhancing their appeal to many donors. There are no legal costs for the establishment of funds. There is no requirement of a 5 percent yearly distribution. Fund donations are 100 percent tax deductible and donors can remain anonymous. Separate tax returns for donors to file are not required. Limited public access to tax records for individual community foundation funds, though a community foundation's general tax return is public. The Idaho Community Foundation owes its existence to the foresighted individuals, corporations, and organizations which joined together to create and endow the Foundation. Our Founding Donor campaign concluded December 31, 1992, having raised a total of $5 million. We are pleased to give continuous recognition to the vision and generosity of those who supported the Foundation in its first stages of growth. Many of these donors have made additional contributions to the Foundation in subsequent years. Roger and Sybil Ferguson First Security Bank of Idaho, N.A. Green Giant/Pillsbury Hecla Mining, Inc.

By Sam Sacks Updated Oct. 10, 2016 12:37 pm ET 'Time does not simply move forward but spirals closer and closer to a shifting centre," Madeleine Thien writes in "Do Not Say We Have Nothing" (Norton, 473 pages, $26.95). Her elegant novel spans China's 20th century but it always curls back toward the crimes perpetrated in the name of revolution. It begins in Vancouver in the 1990s, where Li-ling, who goes by her Westernized name Marie, lives with her immigrant mother. Her father is a mystery to her; he committed suicide in Hong Kong, and the clues to his life and death seem to reside in a series of notebooks written in Chinese, which she's unable to read. This changes with the arrival of Ai-ming, a family friend who has fled China after taking part in the Tiananmen Square protests. Ai-ming transforms the contents of the notebooks into nightly bedtime stories that, in their piecemeal telling, reveal that the two women are bound together by history, politics and music.

The Ferrari Effect – A Day Out with the Portofino and GTC4 Lusso Justin Jackie, 24 Apr 2019 There are many reasons someone might desire to own a Ferrari. Maybe it's the trophy-stacked history of the Maranello stable. Maybe it's their endless stream of gorgeous creations. Maybe it's their collectable value (A 1963 250 GTO is now worth around $100 million). Whatever the justification, there is no denying the appeal of vehicles donning that famous badge. When kids see a Ferrari their jaws drop to the floor, when grown-ups hear them, they get goosebumps. This is the Ferrari Effect. Infiniti's Sydney Escape: Harry, Harvest & Helicopters Carea 51: A day inside Holden's secret Proving Ground A Week with the Audi RS4 I've been lucky enough to drive some of the older Ferrari models, and every moment of those drives are still etched in my mind. But with tighter emissions regulations, turbo-charged engines and safer body design, have the reigns been pulled too tight on the prancing horse? Well, Ferrari Australia invited me to drive two of their finest stallions and see if the modern line-up still has the Ferrari Effect. I was greeted at the Ferrari Sydney showroom in Waterloo by the friendly team including Australiasian CEO, Herbert Appleroth. Herbert's been part of the Ferrari family for a long time now, and his knowledge of the cars proved that. After a couple of espressos, a quick drivers' briefing and some farewell messages to my friends and family, I was taken to my selection of Ferraris: The beautiful Ferrari Portofino and my first drive of the day, the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso. Walking around the GTC4 Lusso's striking exterior, it's easy to see why it's styling is considered a little more progressive than your traditional GT. The shooting-brake proportions are quite polarising at first, but give it some time and attention, and you grow to love the uniqueness of its streamlined exterior. At 4922 mm in length, it's not a small car by any means, but that long bonnet gives the car such a presence, it would even put Cruella De Vil's ride to shame. The details flirt a fine line between elegance and masculinity while maintaining an aesthetic that many would call 'brave' in the current car design climate. Around the fastback-like rear of the Lusso you'll find some signature twin lights perfectly matched with a pair of twin exhausts on each side. Slipping inside the cabin is an equally stunning affair. The theme is more 'GT' than it is 'Track' with luxurious leathers and metals used tastefully throughout. The layout is separated quite purposefully in something Ferrari calls a 'dual-cockpit' setup, which gives the passenger their own space. The central tunnel also separates the rear passengers in their own luxurious 'pods' and engages each person individually. Overall, it doesn't matter which seat you find yourself in, the interior of the GTC4 Lusso is a very special place indeed. Once I was out of Sydney traffic and able to start putting that V12 through its paces, the goosebumps started coming in waves. 507 kilowatts of normally-aspirated, Ferrari V12 goodness, is the stuff of dreams. You get access to 80 per cent of its 697 Nm of torque from 1750 rpm, giving the engine a very usable torque spread, and if given the chance, the beast will howl over 8000 rpm. 0-100? 3.4 seconds. Maximum speed? 335 km/h. It might look every bit a Grand Tourer, but with those sorts of figures and versatility at your disposal, the Lusso is in a paddock of its own. Slaloming the tapered body through Sydney's northern beaches was as effortless as turning heads on pedestrians. The new 4RM-S (four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering) system gave the feeling of a much shorter wheelbase with incredible amounts of agility and maneuverability. The clever torque vectoring on the four-wheel drive system made sure the torque was going to the appropriate wheel, and even though I wasn't able to push the car to its limits, you could definitely sense the potential in the chassis. The call for morning tea meant I could get some treats from Pilu's at Pittwater and any kid within a 5km radius could get a real-life experience of that car on their bedroom wall. The questions were coming thick and fast from people all walks of life. I was doing my best to keep the people happy, but when I was given the keys to the Portofino, I was relieved to be exiting the ensuing mob and getting back on the road. You can't really blame the people though. A Ferrari convertible is always a dangerously good-looking combination, and the Portofino is no exception. Picking up from where the California left off, the new car is the most versatile model in the stable. Featuring one of the prettiest body's in modern memory, the silhouette looks just as good as a coupe as it does with the roof down. Not that it's a huge issue either way, as the retractable hardtop will open or close in 14 seconds, giving you quick protection against rain or drooling bystanders. But don't for one second think that the Portofino is a poser's car, there is plenty of go to match the show. The turbocharged V8 is the same block taken from the 488 only tuned slightly differently for the convertible. Flicking through the paddles on the 7-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission is frighteningly quick. With a dry weight of 1545kg and 441 kW on tap, the numbers are staggering. 0-100 km/h disappears in 3.5 seconds and braking 100 back to 0 km/h plays out over 34 metres thanks to the lightweight ceramic stoppers. Driving the Portofino along the coast towards Newport was the road this prancing horse deserved. With the roof down, in comfort mode, you can just kick back and wave to the people coming out to see and hear the Maranello masterpiece. If you feel like you want to turn up the wick, flick the switch to sport and grab the paddles, the Portofino comes alive in a way that only a Ferrari can. It truly is the most versatile Ferrari on the market, and at AUD$399,888 (plus on-road costs), it's also the most affordable. But with all that shifting and waving, I had built up quite an appetite. So Ferrari suggested I hand over the keys and pull up a chair at Bert's in Newport. The famous Sydney brasserie has a decadent hotel feel and with a coastal European flavour running through the menu, it felt very, well, Ferrari. Executive chef Jordan Toft's seafood lunch was mighty impressive as was the wine selection and as I started to ponder the feasibility of napping under the table, I was told it was time to go home. Rather than calling a cab or doing the afternoon stroll back to Ferrari Sydney (a casual seven hours if you were ever inclined), Bert's owner, Justin Hemmes, offered us a lift back to Sydney in his Seaplane. So I hugged goodbye to the GTC4 Lusso and Portofino, and casually boarded an aircraft floating on water. The sunset over Sydney harbour, the temperature, the company… If this was a typical day out for a Ferrari owner, I would have signed my life away. To say my Ferrari drive day was an assault on the senses would be selling it short. The sound from those engines, the touch of the paddles, the beauty of that Italian styling, the smell of the interior… every sense is maximised in a Ferrari. As the sun set on one of the most picturesque days in living memory, I could sleep well knowing the Ferrari Effect was still coursing through my veins. cars, Ferrari, GTC4 Lusso, portfino The New Ferrari SF90 Will Keep the Conversation Going Watch Matt Damon and Christian Bale Tell the Story of Ford v Ferrari Book a Supercar Drive Day through the Barossa Valley with Prancing Horse 2020 Lister Race Car Concept Builds on a Rich Knobbly History This One-Off Ferrari P80/C is Pure Performance 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi is the End of a Line Hublot Pairs with Ferrari for a Classic Fusion GT Model

Driving an Electric Car is about driving greener, with a lower carbon footprint and lower financial running costs. By charging your car from your own Solar PV system integrated into your home, you can save even more money on your driving costs, whilst further reducing your carbon footprint, by using your own produced 100% green solar energy. This makes a solar panel system for your home the ideal accessory to accompany your electric car. By moving to an electric car you are already taking a positive step towards a greener low carbon lifestyle. Even using conventional fossil-fuel generated grid power your carbon emissions are vastly reduced. However generating your own electricity from you own Solar PV panel array you will minimise your impact still further. A Solar PV Panel system will give you a completely green and sustainable electric power source, that can power your home as well as charging your EV free of any cost. Many EV owners think of the purchasing a solar system as pre-buying their fuel for the next few years – at a cost that is very quickly repaid. Even in the UK it is possible to produce enough power from even a standard domestic sized solar pv system to both power your home, as well as providing the energy required to fuel your car. A typical EV (a Nissan Leaf for example) will achieve roughly 4 miles of driving from 1kWh of charge. A typical 5kW south facing solar pv system produces an average of 18kWh of solar energy per day March to October. The typical uk home that cooks with an electric stove consumes 9kWh of electricity per day on average. That leaves 9kW of spare solar pv production that can be used to charge your car – that is the equivalent of 36 miles of driving per day (or 13,000 miles pa) plenty for the average daily commute. Step 2 – calculate your average daily mileage and divide by 4, equals kW used driving per day. Step 4 – times the figure in step 3 by 365 days of the year and divide by 1000 to give the suggested kWh size of pv system needed, in order to completely offset your electric vehicle and domestic electricity requirement. Under this very basic formula it is possible to completely offset all of your annual electricity requirement. For a more detailed assessment looking at practical consumption throughout the year, contact our sister company 'Completely Green' for a more thorough evaluation and advice on how to minimise your grid electricity consumption. Due to the UK's latitude and our gloomy Winter weather it becomes very difficult to completely cover all of your domestic and EV electricity requirements – this is a challenge faced with off-grid system design, where a backup generator is always required. The low level of sunlight in the winter months, means that grid purchased electricity will be required on many days to top up your solar pv production, in order to cover all of your electricity requirements. However even in the winter months the 5kW south facing solar pv system example used will still be producing on average 7.5kWh of electricity per day – that is still enough to be able to drive 30 miles per day on your own produced green solar energy. Also if you look at total solar pv production over the year, all of your domestic and EV electricity usage can be fully offset by your home produced green solar electricity. The time of day when you wish to charge your car is also an issue when designing a Solar PV system to suit your needs. If you are at home for much of the day, your EV can be charged directly from your solar pv system, however if you plan to charge your car at night a domestic solar battery storage system will also be required. A domestic battery storage system is charged by your solar panels during the day, to give you a store of energy you can use at night to both power your home in the evenings, as well as to charge your Electric car overnight. "A Battery Storage System acts as a buffer enabling you to maximise the consumption of your solar pv production, and means you can power your home and charge your car at night or when the sun isn't shining". Your home battery storage system should be sized in a similar way to your solar pv system, by calculating your night time electricity consumption and your after dark EV charging requirement, to give the size of your required battery. Following the above example of a 5kW PV system, with a 9kwh per day household domestic consumption and 36 miles per day EV driving, the solar PV system is capable of saving you over £2500 pa in electricity and fuel costs, compared to powering your home with grid electricity and fuelling a 35mpg diesel car. It is completely and affordably possible to power your home and fuel your car from a domestic solar pv system, with an expected payback period of less than 5 years and system life expectancy of 20 years plus. That is potentially a further 15 years' worth of free driving and free household energy, all the while the cost of fuel and grid electricity will be soaring for everyone else. The Performance of a solar pv system is impossible to predict with certainty due to the variability in the amount of solar radiation (sunlight) from location to location and from year to year. This estimate is based PVGIS solar production averages and is given as guidance only. The saving obtainable from a solar pv system are also dependant on user interaction with the system and additional devices and patterns to maximise self-consumption. Please visit our Charge Point installation pages for advice and options in this regard. Through our renewable energy sister company Completely Green we can advise you, as well as install a suitable solar PV system to accompany your EV purchase. Contact us to help you calculate the right size and type of system to suit your new EV and your home. Make your EV purchase be the first step towards a greener and more sustainable lifestyle for your family and your home.

Are Vitamin D Deficiency & Hypothyroidism Related? Dangerously High TSH Level Ferritin and Thyroid Function What Kind of Doctor Specializes in Thyroid & Adrenal Fatigue? Muscle Spasms With Thyroid Disorder Anti-Goitrogenic Diet for Hypothyroidism What Does a High Level of Thyroid Peroxidase Mean? By Kristeen Cherney ; Updated July 27, 2017 Thyroid peroxidase helps in overall thyroid function. Yet, as with overall hormone production within the gland, thyroid peroxidase can pose health problems if its production levels get out of control. Higher levels of thyroid peroxidase are common in those with Graves' disease and Hashimoto's disease. The thyroid is an organ in the throat that is the shape of a butterfly and about the size of a quarter. Hormones are released by the thyroid that help to that certain bodily functions--such as blood pressure, metabolism and heart functions-- are working properly. Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is an antibody that can help or disrupt the production of hormones, depending on their working levels. Thyroid peroxidase is a type of enzyme produced in the thyroid. This enzyme plays a vital role in helping the thyroid gland produce hormones, specifically triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormones. If TPO levels are too high, it can indicate that an autoimmune problem exists, thus disrupting the production of T3 and T4 hormones. A TPO test measures the amount of antibodies that exist in the thyroid gland. Such tests are administered in order to detect thyroid dysfunction, or as a follow-up test to T3, T4, and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) tests. An endocrinologist may recommend a TPO tests for patients who exhibit symptoms of hypothyroidism, or before a patient begins taking medications that could lead to hypothyroidism. A TPO test will read as positive if a thyroiditic condition exists. In patients who have hypothyroidism, this is indicative of Hashimoto's disease. In hyperthyroid patients, this is indicative of the autoimmune condition of Graves' disease. Moderate thyroid peroxidase levels may indicate that a patient has thyroid cancer, anemia, rheumatoid arthritis or Type 1 diabetes. A high level of thyroid peroxidase means that a patient has Graves' disease or Hashimoto's disease. Untreated thyroid peroxidase can lead to reproductive problems in women. Such difficulties include infertility, miscarriage, premature delivery and pre-eclampsia. When Graves' disease and Hashimoto's disease are left untreated, it can necessitate surgical removal of the thyroid gland.

You may have caught our story from a few weeks ago about the 1876 founding documents and original constitution of what became Major League Baseball. That previously unknown original copy was written by the hands of some of pro baseball's founding fathers and is expected to bring a seven-figure price (at least) when the auction runs its course in a few weeks. The Orange County Register paid a visit to SCP Auctions, talked with MLB historian John Thorn and yours truly for this story (be sure to also watch the video they produced). Topps says it sold 13,542 copies of the two base NOW cards of Derek Jeter it offered for sale in a 24-hour period that ended Tuesday afternoon. Those numbers pushed Topps to a record one-day total sales record of more than 17,000 NOW cards sold, breaking the previous mark set last year for Ichiro's 3000th hit. Topps created two physical cards commemorating the event for $9.99 each, which were exclusively sold on Topps.com. It was his first NOW card. A limited amount of autograph and relic cards sold out within about 30 minutes. Over 3,500 other cards commemorating big moments from Monday were also sold. The two Jeter cards also became the top of two best selling cards of 2017, surpassing the rookie cards of Chicago Cubs' Ian Happ (2,241) and Yankees' Aaron Judge (2,151). The top selling Topps NOW card leading up the Jeter ceremony is the card immortalizing Ichiro's 3,000th MLB hit in 2016. That card sold 11,550 copies in just 24 hours. Burke Waldron's appearance on a Topps Update First Pitch card last sea son has given the World War II vet a hobby: signing the hundreds that collectors have mailed his way for autographs. But this 92-year-old is not the type to sit around. After all, it was his peppy trot to the Seattle pitching mound nearly a year ago to toss out that first pitch that led to him becoming a bit of a YouTube sensation and one of Topps' picks for the First Pitch inserts. He'll be on the move this weekend in the Bremerton Armed Forces Day Parade. He talked about his service, his pitch last May at Safeco Field, his baseball card fame and more with the Kitsap Sun. Topps has lost its Director of Player Licensing. Jon Einalhori has joined Sosnick Cobbe & Karon, a player representation firm. He'll work on off-the-field marketing deals for about 30 big leaguers who are on company's client list. Einalhori's job at Topps involved negotiating with athlete agents on trading card and autograph deals.

Renee Dion is a jazz, gospel, hip-hop and R&B singer from Columbus, Ohio. She will perform at Little Toad Creek Brewery and Distillery on Sept. 3. Where do the members of your band live? Columbus, Ohio. What type of music do you play? I like to call it "life music" — a mix of jazz, gospel, hip-hop and R&B. What do you think makes your band's music unique? We are able to blend every genre in an organic way. And we play 99 percent original music. What's a fun fact about your band/the story of how your band got started? My DJ has always been with me and my drummer was with another band at the time, but I called him up and asked him if he wanted to go on tour. To my surprise, he said "yes." Now here we are. What are your hopes and dreams for the future of your band? To get a distribution deal for my next album. To tour overseas and perform at festivals around the world. When and where is your next gig? 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 3 at Little Toad Creek Brewery and Distillery, 119 N. Main St.

Although it has the most receptive green of Merion's par threes, this is a very difficult hole. The green pitches steeply from back left to front right. Players will not want to miss the green to the left under any circumstances, as keeping a recovery shot on the green from there will be very difficult. The bunker at the front right of the green is one of the deepest on the course.

Q: Coreplot line chart line is not visible I tried to make a line graph with core plot but I have a problem. There is no line in the simulator though the number(for:...) function (last lines) works and the data is retrieved. I've been trying to do this for 60 hours and I don't know what's wrong here. And there are no more details. Here is my code: import UIKit import CorePlot class dottedLine: UIViewController { @IBOutlet var hostView: CPTGraphHostingView! var plot: CPTScatterPlot! override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() { super.viewDidLayoutSubviews() initPlot() } let xValues: [NSNumber] = [1,2,3,4] let yValues: [NSNumber] = [1,5,4,3] func initPlot() { configureHostView() configureGraph() configureChart() configureAxes() } func configureHostView() { hostView.allowPinchScaling = false } func configureGraph() { // 1 - Create the graph let graph = CPTXYGraph(frame: hostView.bounds) graph.plotAreaFrame?.masksToBorder = false hostView.hostedGraph = graph // 2 - Configure the graph //graph.apply(CPTTheme(named: CPTThemeName.plainWhiteTheme)) //graph.fill = CPTFill(color: CPTColor.clear()) graph.paddingBottom = 30.0 graph.paddingLeft = 30.0 graph.paddingTop = 0.0 graph.paddingRight = 0.0 // 3 - Set up styles let titleStyle = CPTMutableTextStyle() titleStyle.color = CPTColor.black() titleStyle.fontName = "HelveticaNeue-Bold" titleStyle.fontSize = 16.0 titleStyle.textAlignment = .center graph.titleTextStyle = titleStyle let title = "Just title" graph.title = title graph.titlePlotAreaFrameAnchor = .top graph.titleDisplacement = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: -16.0) // 4 - Set up plot space let xMin = 0.0 let xMax = 5.0 let yMin = 0.0 let yMax = 15.0 guard let plotSpace = graph.defaultPlotSpace as? CPTXYPlotSpace else { return } plotSpace.xRange = CPTPlotRange(locationDecimal: CPTDecimalFromDouble(xMin), lengthDecimal: CPTDecimalFromDouble(xMax - xMin)) plotSpace.yRange = CPTPlotRange(locationDecimal: CPTDecimalFromDouble(yMin), lengthDecimal: CPTDecimalFromDouble(yMax - yMin)) } func configureChart() { // 1 - Set up the plot plot = CPTScatterPlot() // 2 - Set up style let plotLineStile = CPTMutableLineStyle() plotLineStile.lineWidth = 1 plotLineStile.lineColor = CPTColor.black() plot.dataLineStyle = plotLineStile // 3- Add plots to graph guard let graph = hostView.hostedGraph else { return } plot.dataSource = self plot.delegate = self graph.add(plot, to: graph.defaultPlotSpace) } func configureAxes() { } } extension dottedLine: CPTScatterPlotDataSource, CPTScatterPlotDelegate { func numberOfRecords(for plot: CPTPlot) -> UInt { // number of points return UInt(xValues.count) } func scatterPlot(_ plot: CPTScatterPlot, plotSymbolWasSelectedAtRecord idx: UInt, with event: UIEvent) { } func number(for plot: CPTPlot, field: UInt, record: UInt) -> Any? { switch CPTScatterPlotField(rawValue: Int(field))! { case .X: return 2 as NSNumber case .Y: return 3 as NSNumber } } } A: I checked your code. func number(for plot: CPTPlot, field: UInt, record: UInt) -> Any? { switch CPTScatterPlotField(rawValue: Int(field))! { case .X: return 2 as NSNumber case .Y: return 3 as NSNumber } } According to the above CPTScatterPlotDataSource of your code, the data you are giving for each and every record is the same data point which is (X: 2, Y: 3). Given that you are giving the same point for all the records, your final dataset for the scatterplot will be: [ (X: 2, Y: 3), (X: 2, Y: 3), (X: 2, Y: 3), (X: 2, Y: 3) ] You can't get a line with this data set, it will just be a point. Try giving different data for different records, you will see a line. You can see the example below to understand func number(for plot: CPTPlot, field: UInt, record: UInt) -> Any? { switch CPTScatterPlotField(rawValue: Int(field))! { case .X: let xVal = self.xValues[Int(record)] return xVal case .Y: let yVal = self.yValues[Int(record)] return yVal } }
