On July 1, EPA announced the next step in a coordinated strategy to cut emissions from oceangoing vessels. EPA will soon issue a proposed rule under the Clean Air Act ("CAA") that sets more stringent engine standards for U.S.-flagged ships that would harmonize with international standards to help improve air quality. EPA is now going through an informal period where it has invited comments on this concept. Although not part of the formal rulemaking process, this initial comment period is likely to shape what this rule ultimately looks like, just as a similar comment period did for the vessel general permit issued earlier this year[1]. The regulated community should take the opportunity to participate in this process. Even making submissions after the formal hearings could help inform the agency decision-making process.
Why is EPA Proposing These Standards?Vessels are one of the most environmentally efficient methods of moving cargo. At the same time, however, EPA describes oceangoing vessels as significant mobile source emitters of pollutants. According to EPA, marine diesel engines known as Category 3 engines being produced today need only meet relatively modest emission requirements, thereby generating significant emissions of particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and toxic compounds such as carbon monoxide associated with adverse health effects.
EPA estimates that when fully implemented, the proposed standards, in conjunction with other clean air strategies for vessel emissions, will reduce NOx emissions by 80 percent and PM emissions by 85 percent, compared to the current limits applicable to Category 3 engines. Additionally, by 2030, EPA says that due to the significant health and welfare benefits associated with cleaner air, between 13,000 and 33,000 premature deaths will be prevented annually. The agency estimates that the monetized health benefits by 2030 would be between $110 billion to $280 billion assuming a 3 percent discount rate.
Current StandardsCurrent CAA standards for Category 3 engines have been in effect since January 2004. These standards are equivalent to the current Tier I international standards contained in MARPOL Annex VI ("Annex VI").[2] Adopting new, stricter standards will make the U.S. regulations consistent with new, international emission control standards being adopted by the International Maritime Organization ("IMO") through amendments to Annex VI. According to EPA, additional emission control standards on Category 3 engines are now possible because of the feasibility of applying high-efficiency after-treatment technologies to these engines.
Proposed Clean Air Act Standards
Proposed Category 3 Engine StandardsEPA's proposal would revise the CAA engine program to include two additional tiers of NOx standards for new Category 3 engines installed on U.S.-flagged vessels. The first stage of proposed standards (Tier 2) would apply to newly built engines and would require more efficient use of current engine technologies, such as engine timing, engine cooling and advanced computer controls. Tier 2 standards, which would take effect in 2011, would result in a 15 to 25 percent NOx reduction below the current Tier 1 levels. The proposed Tier 3 standards would apply to new engines starting in 2016 and would require the use of high-efficiency after-treatment technology such as selective catalytic reduction to achieve NOx reductions 80 percent below current levels.
In addition to the NOx limits, EPA is proposing standards for hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions from new Category 3 engines. EPA is not proposing to set a standard for PM emissions for such engines. The agency has said that significant PM emissions benefits will be achieved through the ECA fuel sulfur requirements that will apply to ships operating in areas affecting U.S. air quality. However, EPA is proposing to require engine manufacturers to measure and report PM emissions.
Effectiveness Dependent on IMO ActionsThe effectiveness of EPA's proposed standards is contingent upon the designation of U.S. coasts as an Emission Control Area (ECA) pursuant to Annex VI. IMO's new strictest Tier III NOx limits, adopted in October 2008, apply only in designated ECAs.[3] EPA anticipates that Annex VI will be amended to include the recent U.S. and Canadian government application to establish an ECA that stretches from the countries' coastlines out to 200 nautical miles and includes Hawaii and southeastern Alaska. If the IMO does not adopt the ECA proposal, EPA will take supplemental action to control vessel air emissions.
Who Will be Impacted by the Proposed Standards?EPA's proposed standards will apply to:
The EPA has said that the proposed standard "may" affect companies and persons that rebuild or maintain Category 3 engines and those that manufacture, import, distribute, sell and dispense fuel for use by Category 3 marine vessels. EPA's pre-publication preamble for the proposed standards states, "Although we are not proposing standards for existing engines on vessels already in the U.S. fleet, we are seeking comment on a programmatic alternative (Voluntary Marine Verification Program) that would help reduce emissions from those engines."
Voluntary Marine Verification ProgramTo encourage emission reductions from existing Category 3 engines, EPA would like to establish a voluntary reduction program. In conjunction with state or local incentives, the proposed program would provide incentives for owners to achieve, on a voluntary basis, greater emission reductions earlier than required for new Category 3 engines, and to retrofit existing Category 3 engines with more advanced NOx emission control technologies. Should EPA establish this program, program incentives would then be determined by States, localities and ports to encourage vessel owner participation.
The program would be available to Category 3 propulsion engines on new or existing vessels, and would be based on achieving the Tier 2 or Tier 3 NOx limits and not on a percent reduction from a baseline. Owners could achieve the NOx limits by adjusting the engine, retrofitting engine components, or retrofitting with an after-treatment device. EPA, however, will not consider an exhaust gas scrubber to be an acceptable control strategy for reducing NOx emissions. EPA is seeking comment on this proposed program.
Vessel Compliance with the Proposed StandardsShips constructed beginning in 2016 will have to comply with the Annex VI Tier III NOx limits, which are equivalent to EPA's proposed standards. These standards will apply to any vessel built beginning in 2016 while it is operating in an ECA. Advanced after-treatment, such as selective catalytic reduction, will be the most likely approach to meet the proposed NOx limits. Whether existing ships will be affected will depend on the implementation of the voluntary program.
With respect to the proposed fuel standards, which become applicable in 2015, EPA says that it will result in the use of distillate fuel for operation in ECAs. This would require the vessel to switch from a higher sulfur fuel to 1,000 ppm sulfur fuel before entering into the ECA. As an alternative to low sulfur fuel, an exhaust gas cleaning device, known as a SOx scrubber, could be used to remove sulfur from the exhaust.
ECA Designation and Foreign-Flagged VesselsEPA notes that because the NOx standards adopted in the recent amendments to Annex VI are comparable in stringency and timing to the agency's proposed standards, CAA Tier 2 and 3 standards will not be extended to foreign-flagged vessels at this time. However, should the U.S.-Canada ECA proposal be adopted by IMO, NOx standards comparable to EPA's proposed standards will be applicable to engines on foreign-flagged vessels operating in U.S. waters and will be enforced under the authority of the Act to Prevent Pollutions from Ships.
When operating outside a designated ECA, engines on foreign-flagged vessels must meet the global Tier II NOx standard, which otherwise applies to engines on ships beginning in 2011 and will require a 20% reduction from the current Tier I levels. EPA has said that it will revisit the application of the proposed standards to foreign-flagged vessels if the U.S.-Canada ECA is not considered in a timely manner and adopted.
Parties to Annex VI must adopt the proposed ECA amendment, if it is approved by IMO. IMO gave its initial approval for the U.S.-Canada proposal at the 59th session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting ("MEPC 59"), which was held the week of July 13, 2009. The earliest possible adoption date following the MEPC 59 meeting is the following MEPC meeting, which is anticipated to take place in March 2010. Given the typical amendment acceptance process, an ECA adopted on this timeline could be expected to enter into force as early as August 2012.
The proposed standards specify that vessels flagged by a country that is not a party to MARPOL (known as non-Party vessels) must comply with Regulations 13, 14, and 18 of Annex VI when operating in U.S. waters.[4] This requirement would fulfill 33 U.S.C. 1902(e), which requires the adoption of regulations for non-Party vessels so that they are not treated more favorably than vessels of countries that are party to MARPOL. However, since non-Party vessels cannot obtain Engine International Air Pollution Prevention certificates, the proposed provision requires non-Party vessels to obtain equivalent documentation of compliance with the NOx standards of Annex VI.
Key Compliance Dates for New & Proposed Vessel Air Emissions Standards
July 2010
Interim fuel standard begins.
Tier II NOx standards for new engines.
August 2012
ECA effective date (this is the earliest the ECA could be expected to enter into force).
New fuel standards begin (switch to 1,000 ppm sulfur).
Tier III NOx standards for new engines.
Costs Associated with the Proposed StandardsEPA estimates that the cost of implementing the proposed strategy is approximately $1.85 billion in 2020, increasing to $3.11 billion 2030. Nearly 86 percent of the 2020 costs are attributable to the use of higher-cost lower-sulfur fuel in the proposed ECA. Operational costs are estimated to be at $1.82 billion in 2020 and the application of engine controls are expected to be $32.7 million in 2020 and increasing to $48.5 million in 2030 as more ships are built to comply with Annex VI Tier 3 NOx limits.
Related State ActionJuly 1, 2009 marked the implementation date of new California state regulations that require all oceangoing vessels within 24 nautical miles of the California coastline to use cleaner burning diesel fuel. The regulations are aimed at reducing SOx, NOx and PM emissions. The requirement, adopted in 2008, will annually affect nearly 2,000 oceangoing vessels – both U.S.- and foreign-flagged. The vessels must use lower-sulfur marine distillates rather than the usual heavy-fuel oil known as bunker fuel.
Use of the cleaner fuel will be phased in, but the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") claims that significant emission reductions will be immediate. The agency has said that initially, 13 tons-per-day of PM emitted from the vessels' diesel engines will be eliminated. CARB also says that the switch will eliminate an estimated 3,600 premature deaths between 2009 and 2015.
CARB representatives say that the new regulations are extremely cost-effective and that the fuel is readily available. The agency has estimated that compliance with the regulations would typically add $30,000 to a California port visit – approximately one percent of the typical fuel costs for a vessel crossing the Pacific Ocean.
What Happens Next?The proposed rule must be published in the Federal Register; once it is published, the public will have the opportunity to submit formal comment. Additionally, EPA has announced two public hearings to discuss the proposed standards; one was held in New York City on August 4, 2009 and the second will be held in Long Beach, CA on August 6, 2009. The meetings will provide interested parties the opportunity to present data, views, or arguments concerning the proposed rule. EPA may ask clarifying questions during the oral presentations, but will not respond to the presentations at that time.

[2]Note that the MARPOL Annex VI standards are referred to as Tiers I, II, and III; EPA's Category 3 emission standards are referred to as Tiers 1, 2, and 3.
[3] On October 2008, the IMO amended Annex VI to add new tiers of engine NOx emission standards and fuel sulfur limits. Beginning in 2015, all ships operating in ECAs will be required to use fuel with no more than 1,000 parts per million ("ppm") sulfur. Starting in 2016, new ships operating in ECAs must also have advanced technology engines designed to cut emissions of ozone-forming oxides of NOx by approximately 80 percent. New fuel standards will phase in over time beginning with an interim fuel standard of 10,000 ppm in July 2010.
IMO Tier I standards apply to diesel engines installed on a ship constructed on or after January 1, 2000 and prior to January 1, 2011 and utilize existing technology, such as optimized turbocharging and fuel injection. Tier II standards apply to diesel engines installed beginning January 1, 2011 and are expected to be met by combustion process optimization. Tier III standards, effective January 1, 2016, will require dedicated NOx emission control technologies. Tier I and Tier II standards are global; however Tier III standards apply on in designated ECAs.
[4]Regulation 13 establishes NOx emissions limits. Regulation 14 establishes SOx and PM limits and sets requirements within ECAs. Regulation 18 covers issues related to fuel quality, sampling and delivery requirements.

Fender Story: Leo Fender Stratocaster Invention 1954
September 2, 2008 by Charlie · Leave a Comment
Contined on from Leo Fenders invention Broadcaster Article — The third of Fender's epoch-defining trinity of early guitar designs came in 1954. The impetus for the Stratocaster arose, George Fullerton says, from a demand by Fender's sales department for an instrument with a vibrato arm. Leo gave them not only that but also a gorgeously contoured refinement of the Telecaster slab body. Like Eames chairs or Gilbert Rohde clocks, the Fender Stratocaster is today recognized as a landmark of mid-century design. The Tele's sophisticated younger sister helped establish a distinctive Fender tone, which Leo Fender continued to refine right up until the day he sold Fender to CBS in 1965, and continued to pursue in his later guitar and amp designs for Music Man and G&L.

Is your Marketing Strategy aligned with your Sales Goals?
When starting to plan a marketing strategy, you have to start with two sets of numbers if your strategy is going to be successful.
SME Needs was set up in 2010 by Nigel Davey. Nigel says: "I have spent my entire career working in customer-facing roles. From the fast-moving world of food retail through market research and IT services in a combination of operational, sales and marketing roles. Since 2001 I have worked almost exclusively with small businesses. "Marketing for small businesses is about maximising the return on investment. Often this is with little or no marketing budget. It is about getting the attention of your clients. It's about making them sit up and notice you at the time when they are looking for your services. "I'm an analytical marketer, which means I believe B2B marketing is all about the numbers. "SME Needs' approach of Measure, Understand and Improve has been adapted over time to better help my clients. It's based upon the process I followed over the last ten years that delivered more than £11 million in sales. "I called the company SME Needs because small businesses need help with a wide range of services. This varies at certain times throughout their life cycle and is particularly relevant in the early years. I can offer my clients a wealth of experience to draw on to help them improve their marketing and grow their business."

7 Things to Remember When Building a Butterfly Garden
A butterfly garden is always a welcome addition to any yard. Butterflies are such dainty creatures that you can't help but relax just watching them fleet from one flower to another. Creating a butterfly garden for your grounds could be easy—if you're one for gardening. If not, you can always have a landscaping contractor do the job.
Whether you or a contractor builds the butterfly garden, here are some things to remember:
1. There are particular butterfly species that are native to a given area, based on the plants that thrive in a state, city or town. Discuss with your landscaping contractor the types of butterflies you want in your garden so you can plan which butterflies to target.
2. Locate your butterfly garden in a sunny area. These dainty, colorful creatures are cold-blooded—once the sun warms them up, they become more active. Besides, the plants that attract butterflies are almost always sun worshippers.
3. If you want a diverse variety of butterfly species frequenting your butterfly garden, provide them with an equally diverse variety of plant food. Butterflies have a particular preference for flowers that are colored purple, red, orange, yellow and pink so make sure you have plenty of these in your garden. Ask your landscaping contractor if such flowers as lantanas, petunias, coreopsis, lilacs, milkweed, hibiscus, zinnias, verbena, sunflowers and coneflowers will thrive in your plant zone. Hint: butterflies will always make a beeline for flowers with flat tops and short nectar tubes because it makes feeding quicker and easier for them.
4. If you want butterflies to stick around longer, add host plans to your butterfly garden. Host plants are plants where butterflies can lay their eggs and which the ensuing caterpillar can gorge on before their metamorphosis.
5. Your butterfly garden must have a naturally-occurring windbreak; otherwise the winds will damage their wings and drive butterflies away. If there's no such barrier, create one with shrubs, large rocks, ornamental trees or fences.
6. Make sure there's a butterfly "water cooler" in your garden. It should be wide and shallow because butterflies can't drink directly from deep water. A birdbath lined with pebbles and rocks will be ideal for this purpose.
7. There are low-feeding butterflies and then there are high feeding butterflies. Cater to every type of butterfly feeding predilections by planting the tallest plants in the back, the shortest along the edge of the butterfly garden, and the mid-sized plants in between.
If you decide to hire a landscaping contractor to build your butterfly garden, don't forget to ask for tips on how to maintain it well so that your little, dainty wards will stay.

Primary (baby) teeth might not last long, but their impact can last a lifetime. Their first set of teeth not only allows young children to eat solid foods, but also guide permanent teeth to form and erupt in the proper position.
Unfortunately, primary teeth aren't immune to tooth decay. If the decay is extensive, the tooth may not last as long as it should. Its absence will increase the chances the permanent teeth won't come in correctly, which could create a poor bite (malocclusion) that's costly to correct.
If a primary tooth is already missing, we can try to prevent a malocclusion by installing a "space appliance." This keeps nearby teeth from drifting into the empty space intended for the permanent tooth. The best approach, though, is to try to save a primary tooth from premature loss.
We can often do this in much the same way as we would with a permanent tooth — by removing decayed material and filling the prepared space. We can also perform preventive applications like topical fluoride or sealants that strengthen or protect the tooth.
It becomes more complicated, though, if the pulp, the interior of the tooth, becomes decayed. The preferred treatment for this in a permanent adult tooth is a root canal treatment. But with a primary tooth we must also consider the permanent tooth forming below it in the jaw and its proximity to the primary tooth. We need to adapt our treatment for the least likely damage to the permanent tooth.
For example, it may be best to remove as much decayed structure as possible without entering the pulp and then apply an antibacterial agent to the area, a procedure known as an indirect pulp treatment. We might also remove only parts of the pulp, if we determine the rest of the pulp tissue appears healthy. We would then dress the wound and seal the tooth from further infection.
Whatever procedure we use will depend on the extent of decay. As we said before, our number one concern is the permanent tooth beneath the primary. By focusing on the health of both we can help make sure the permanent one comes in the right way.
If you would like more information on caring for children's primary teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Root Canal Treatment for Children's Teeth."
Are bleeding gums something you should be concerned about? Dear Doctor magazine recently posed that question to Dr. Travis Stork, an emergency room physician and host of the syndicated TV show The Doctors. He answered with two questions of his own: "If you started bleeding from your eyeball, would you seek medical attention?" Needless to say, most everyone would. "So," he asked, "why is it that when we bleed all the time when we floss that we think it's no big deal?" As it turns out, that's an excellent question — and one that's often misunderstood.
First of all, let's clarify what we mean by "bleeding all the time." As many as 90 percent of people occasionally experience bleeding gums when they clean their teeth — particularly if they don't do it often, or are just starting a flossing routine. But if your gums bleed regularly when you brush or floss, it almost certainly means there's a problem. Many think bleeding gums is a sign they are brushing too hard; this is possible, but unlikely. It's much more probable that irritated and bleeding gums are a sign of periodontal (gum) disease.
How common is this malady? According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, nearly half of all Americans over age 30 have mild, moderate or severe gum disease — and that number increases to 70.1 percent for those over 65! Periodontal disease can occur when a bacteria-rich biofilm in the mouth (also called plaque) is allowed to build up on tooth and gum surfaces. Plaque causes the gums to become inflamed, as the immune system responds to the bacteria. Eventually, this can cause gum tissue to pull away from the teeth, forming bacteria-filled "pockets" under the gum surface. If left untreated, it can lead to more serious infection, and even tooth loss.
What should you do if your gums bleed regularly when brushing or flossing? The first step is to come in for a thorough examination. In combination with a regular oral exam (and possibly x-rays or other diagnostic tests), a simple (and painless) instrument called a periodontal probe can be used to determine how far any periodontal disease may have progressed. Armed with this information, we can determine the most effective way to fight the battle against gum disease.
Above all, don't wait too long to come in for an exam! As Dr. Stork notes, bleeding gums are "a sign that things aren't quite right." Â If you would like more information about bleeding gums, please contact us or schedule an appointment. You can read more in the Dear Doctor magazine article "Bleeding Gums." You can read the entire interview with Dr. Travis Stork in Dear Doctor magazine.
Children's permanent teeth normally erupt over several years after first forming below the gum line. All their permanent teeth should come in by the time they reach early adolescence.
Unfortunately, this process doesn't always happen as it should. If the erupting teeth become crowded due to a poor bite (malocclusion), teeth still to come in may not have enough room to fully erupt. They become impacted, a condition in which the visible crown remains partially or completely submerged below the gum line.
Impacted teeth create consequences for other teeth and dental health overall. They more readily cause abscesses (a localized infection within the gum tissue) and can damage the roots of nearby teeth. Impacted front canine (eye) teeth can interfere with bite function and their visual absence mars an otherwise attractive smile.
If your child's canine teeth have failed to erupt properly, there is a way to help them fully come in if you act before their mouth structure fully matures. The first step is an orthodontic evaluation of their entire bite. This will determine if there's enough space to move other teeth to make room for the impacted canines.
If so, we would then find the exact position of the impacted teeth using x-rays and possibly cone beam CT scanning for a detailed three-dimensional image. The teeth could be in a variety of positions, such as angled toward the roof of the mouth or cheek or buried high in the jawbone. If the teeth are too far out of position the best course of action may be to remove them and replace them later with a dental implant.
If the impacted teeth, though, are in a feasible position for retrieval, we first expose each tooth through the gums with a minor surgical procedure and bond a small bracket to it. We then attach a small gold chain to the bracket that loops over an orthodontic appliance attached to other teeth. The appliance will exert pressure over several months to pull the tooth into proper position.
If successful, your child will gain the use of these important teeth and a more attractive appearance. But don't delay — this desired outcome will become much harder if not impossible to attain as their teeth and jaws continue to develop.
If you would like more information on treating impacted teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Exposing Impacted Canines."

Thank you for sharing such an informative post, personally I do cycling but I never bother on the nutrition, I tend to believe that it's all about a Balance diet as I can see some carbohydrates, proteins, and others are still included, personally I do cycling for leisure and also as a hobby, I really appreciate coming across this post I have learnt much from it, also I like the way you attached some affiliate links to products that you are marketing, it's easy now to purchase the right product, I am sure to subscribe to your newsfeed to learn more about this and other posts from you, thank you.
From Joy.
Great article Luc! To the point, yet full of useful info. Could you give more info about complex carbohydrates, please? The only thing I heard about cyclists is that they eat a lot of spaghetti right before a race. Is that what you usually do or do you have other meals you think are better?
It is very important and relevant post to those peoples who are much aware of their wellness. It's true that peoples are more conscious of their health but most of them do not know what are the proper foodstuffs and what elements the foods are containing in it. Basically the cyclist who must need a proper foodstuffs during after cycling.
Your important review will help them to understand about feeding they must needed. You described all the elements briefly and the foods that contain these necessary elements. It's very helpful for all of us.
Thanks for sharing.

NASA flight director's family now lives by Martian time zone
Abigail Prendergast
Aug 21, 2012 in
NASA flight director, David Oh, has taken his whole family to Mars - or more precisely synced their bodies with its time zone. Celebrating the Curiosity's landing, the clan of five rearranged their schedules to coincide with the red planet's clock.
The family of Mars flight director, David Oh, is joining the husband, father and NASA engineer on a journey to sync up their body clocks with the time zone on Mars.
According to
, after the Curiosity rover landed on the red planet, the Oh, his wife Bryn and their three children, have essentially joined the spacecraft by essentially being in the same time zone.
It is typical for
NASA scientists
and engineers to make reports on the Martian clock, but not for their whole families to "flip their orderly lives upside down, shifting to what amounts to a time zone change a day."
This stay-at-home Martian adventure, near the Jet Propulsion Laboratory where the Curiosity was manufactured,
Bryn felt
that she "could not pass up" the opportunity to take her kids, Braden, 13, Ashlyn, 10 and Devyn, 8 on what she saw as quite the vacation.
"We all feel a little sleepy, a little jet-lagged all day long, but everyone is doing great,"
Bryn Oh said
two weeks into the endeavor.
Since days on Mars last 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than those on Earth, the extra time can take its toll after a while. Almost 800 people who worked on the Curiosity project also took it upon themselves to sync up with Martian time.
Most of them say
that "it feels like perpetual jet lag."
In the days leading up to Curiosity's touchdown on August 5, the Oh children were abiding by a fairly similar sleep schedule to what they were already used to - at first. After some time, breakfast was at 3:00 PM, lunch at 8:00 PM and dinner was at 2:30 in the morning. Bed time came after a 5 AM dessert.
Google Earth Partners are soon going to be offering their services to bring back images taken by Curiosity, for those who would rather stay used to our native time zones. According to
, people "can click on the image and scroll across the scene to see the Mars surface from every angle."
360-degree panoramic view
of the red planet is now available through Google Earth partner, 360cities.net.
As for the
Oh family
, Bryn did confess that it is "easy to lose track of what day it is."

Understanding Connected TV options for political advertisers
The recent 2018 midterm elections featured hundreds of congressional, state, and local primaries. Although everyone may not agree on outcomes, there is no denying that these elections took place during what is a growing trend of cord-cutting. In fact, Connected TV (CTV) advertising was practically non-existent during the 2016 elections. Today, with the number of over-the-top (OTT) viewers growing to 198.6 million, political advertisers are realizing the opportunity it provides – a brand-safe and effective way to reach voters.
The growing CTV landscape
Digital ad spend by political advertisers during this year's midterms is estimated by Borrel Associates to be nearly $2 billion, up 2,5359% from 2014! This proves the emergence of CTV advertising has helped increase these numbers. For reference, in August, the publisher side technology platform, Telaria, reported that 30% of all political ad spend on its platform was spent on CTV, up from just 1% in 2016. With programmatic inventory on the rise, the 2020 elections should shape up to be a monster year for CTV advertising.
Reaching elusive viewers with TotalTV™
dataxu's robust TotalTV™ marketplace consists of premium CTV inventory. It's a way to reach custom audiences, like potential voters, with peace of mind via quality verification. Political advertisers can even access rich online and real-world offline data sets to target voters based on political preference on the big screen. Reach out to us today to learn more.

Zeke had a fun party yesterday – Perry and Darrin had around 30 guests and at least 12 dogs.
I borrowed the party pictures from Perry's picture album. Check out Perry's blog – link on the right side of this web site.
After the party we went back to the camper and rested a few hours while watching Kalifornia. I have seen this movie before, but watched it because it is such an evil little movie.
After the movie we went to the City Museum. The Museum is a happening place after 10:00pm.
The crowd is mostly highschool/college aged kids and some parents. Mike had fun climbing around in the various caves and tunnels. We also enjoyed drinking some beer, sitting by a camp fire and roasting marsh-mellows. We stayed until midnight and then dragged our tired butts off to bed.

This was us (mom, dad, and me) after a twenty minute debate over how many layers to race in for "The Gobbler" 10K. At the start line I decided to ditch my long sleeve top and run in a short sleeve shirt. My plan was to hide it behind some shrubs and grab it after the race, but my mom was worried someone might steal it so she tied it around her waist and ran all six miles with it. That's one of the really nice things about running with your parents, even though I'm thirty-five, my mom will still carry my stuff for me (thank you mom!). My goal was to get under 40 minutes so I was thrilled that my Garmin read 39:03 and even happier that my chip time said 38:58. It ended up being a progressive run for me, I stayed conservative for the first two miles with a 6:28 and a 6:30, then I picked up the pace and ran a 6:15, 6:08, 6:07, and a 6:04. It was a PR for me on a 10K course and a goal that I've been chasing for more than a year. The awards ceremony took place right after the race, but because some people had registered for the 10K and ended up running the 5K, I was initially awarded 3rd place. Some VERY, VERY nice runners who had been behind me spoke right up and said that I was the first overall female (thank you nice runners). The race director made the change and then re-awarded me first place. Overall, the race was a great family friendly event with a 10K, 5K and the most adorable 1K for kids I've ever seen. The shirts were bright yellow and came with matching brown and yellow sweat-head-bands (that my dad is rocking) for the win.
This week I was able to participate in two Turkey Trots, one at the school where I teach, and "The Gobbler" with my family on Thanksgiving day. Even though the courses, times, and expectations were very different, the lesson was the same.
I heard so many adults and kids saying things like:
"I ran, but I didn't win."
"It was only a 5K."
"It was only a mile."
"I finished, but I had to walk."
We need to stop using words like "only" and "but" when we talk about our running. No one is judging us, no spectator is standing there looking at us and thinking they should run faster. Let's stop belittling our achievements and accomplishments because of our incorrect perceptions. Instead, let's be proud of our accomplishments, proud of our desire to make improvements, and proud that we had the courage to chase our own personal bests. It's an important step toward running our lives. Happy running friends!

When do we need peacemakers? There could be a problem in a family. Brother against brother. There could be a problem in the Church. Brother against brother. Most of the time one or the other is in the wrong. There could be a misunderstanding. Someone needs to help. We need a peacemaker. A peacemaker does not just come between two people who are at odds. A peacemaker takes action. His role is to access the situation, make a correct decision and take action. A peacemaker settles the argument and brings peace between two factions. A peacemaker brings wholeness and well being to those who need it. The actions of a peacemaker must be motivated by love. A lasting harmony can not be found unless there is love for God and God's love is shown.

Restaurant promotion can be challenging due to the fact that you are constantly trying to come up with innovative ways to connect with your customers. However, did you know that being a marketer can actually be fun if you have the right mindset and approach? Here is a simple guide to restaurant promotion.
Connect on an Emotional Level
It is easy for customers to focus on themselves. When it comes to marketing, try to create a way that you will be able to attract your customers by pulling on those heartstrings or tugging at their inner core. Creating emotional triggers will increase a customer's likelihood of noticing your promotion . Brainstorming these methodologies are also fun for you because it requires you to dig deep to try to make that internal connection with your customers. Unruly, which ranks the most viral ads each year, found that the most-shared ads of 2015 relied heavily on emotional content, specifically friendship, inspiration, warmth, and happiness. Examples include Android's Friends Furever and Kleenex's Unlikely Best Friends. As you can see, these brands really connect with their customers on an emotional level. That, or you should just include animals in your marketing…
Utilize Consumer Generated Content
With the amount of content that currently exists across all social media channels, sometimes it isn't required for you to reinvent the wheel. Your customers are already creating the content for you in a more organic way by sharing their own personal experiences on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. A recent survey by Forbes shows that 86% of consumers say authenticity is important when deciding what brands they support, and 60% say user-generated content (UGC) is the most authentic form of content. Identify customers who are authentic and supportive to your brand and try to incorporate them into your marketing strategies. It's easy to find joy through energizing your customers to engage in the marketing process.
Collaborate with Others
Cross promoting can develop and grow in various ways. When it comes to building a marketing campaign and strategy that is effective, sometimes it's best to team up with another like-minded company and brand. The ability to collaborate and promote to two different demographics and customers can be a powerful way to get more customers and increase brand exposure. With the introduction of marketing channels like email marketing and social media the internet has made collaborative marketing easier than ever. Cross-promotion is also a great way to cut marketing costs.
Why So Serious?
We all know retaurant promotion is important, but don't be afraid to have a little fun. Allow yourself to integrate a little bit of "you" into your marketing strategies. Being you, doesn't necessarily equate to being funny, but a little humor never hurts. Funny content has a higher potential to be shared than dry forms of content. Find a style and approach that allows you to be you while also effectively communicating your restaurant's mission, tone, and style. We are all human – let that shine through to your customers. Adding a certain realness to your restaurant's brand can really payoff in the long run.
Up with the Trends
One of the most important ways to keep your marketing fresh it if you stay in touch with current trends. Trends come and go, and if you aren't following them, you might miss an opportunity to jump on board doing something fun and effective. By engaging with one trend, you could see customer interactions jump or spike more quickly than by continuing to execute old strategies. It's fun to be trendy!
Try, Try Again
You can find something that's fun for you by experimenting. Don't force yourself into a marketing strategy that doesn't come naturally to you. Determine what works best for you and really commit to it!

As a man ages, sure parts of his physique are destined to feel it more than others. MRI is often used to rule out ailments that affect the pinnacle, neck, and spinal wire. When motor neurons degenerate, attribute abnormal electrical alerts occur within the muscle. The electrical activity in the muscle is attributable to the lower motor neurons. The motor neuron illnesses (MNDs) are a gaggle of progressive neurological problems that destroy motor neurons, the cells that control essential voluntary muscle activity such as talking, walking, breathing, and swallowing.
Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) impacts the upper motor neurons of the arms, legs, and face. Affected people have progressive lack of the ability to talk, chew, and swallow. Usually, messages from nerve cells in the mind (referred to as higher motor neurons) are transmitted to nerve cells in the brain stem and spinal twine (known as lower motor neurons) and from them to specific muscular tissues.
Many medical doctors use the phrases motor neuron illness and ALS interchangeably. It has inherited and sporadic kinds and can affect the arms, legs, or facial muscle groups. In ALS, insertion of a percutaneous gastronomy tube (to help with feeding) is frequently carried out even earlier than it is wanted, when the person is strong enough to bear this minor surgery.
Main lateral sclerosis is a disease of the upper motor neurons, whereas progressive muscular atrophyaffects only lower motor neurons within the spinal wire. Higher motor neurons are additionally called corticospinal neurons. Nerve conduction research help to distinguish decrease motor neuron illnesses from peripheral neuropathy and may detect abnormalities in sensory nerves.
ALS mostly strikes people between 40 and 60 years of age, but younger and older people also can develop the disease. Decrease motor neurons control motion within the arms, legs, chest, face, throat, and tongue. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a kind of MRI scan that measures chemicals within the mind and could also be used to evaluate the integrity of the upper motor neurons.

As we lurch into the future, in this blitzkrieg of idiocy, Facebook "likes," fascist marches, fake-news coups, and what looks like a race toward extinction—what is literature's place? What counts as literature? Who decides? Obviously, there is no single, edifying answer to these questions. So, if you will forgive me, I'm going to talk about my own experience of being a writer during these times—of grappling with the question of how to be a writer during these times, in particular in a country like India, a country that lives in several centuries simultaneously.
A Different Kind of Literary Festival
Publishers Weekly
Audiences packed venues throughout New York City, from an East Village basement to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, May 6–12 to hear more than 200 writers, artists, and activists speak about the blurring boundary between private and public spaces. Now in its 15th year, PEN World Voices has distinguished itself as an international literary festival with a focus on human rights. Founded by Esther Allen, Michael Roberts, and Salman Rushdie in reaction to 9/11, the festival aims to expand dialogue between the U.S. and the rest of the world—a mission that PEN America said "has never been more relevant."
PEN recruited Chip Rolley as senior director of literary programs in 2017, and last year he began to direct the festival with an approach that links literature and current events. "My hope is that festivals can provide a bridge between the ideas and issues that we're confronting in the news or talking about with our friends and loved ones with the literature that we're reading," Rolley said. "I try to execute a theme that creates a through line so that the festival itself is a kind of a story. I think I've done that both years, and this year in particular."
For the 2019 festival, the theme was "open secrets," and many authors from around the world described how they've resisted oppression to speak the truth and reach large audiences in the process.

The Hoover Institute reports in it's study "European Demographics and Migration" that the Europe of today will certainly not be the Europe of tomorrow.
Such demographic shocks almost inevitably bring cultural conflicts. Sweden is in a situation that no modern country in the West has ever found itself in. If the United States by 2016 considered itself overburdened with a population that was 13 or 14 percent foreign-born, so desperately overburdened that it would turn to Donald Trump for leadership, how can we expect tiny Sweden, a rustic monoculture until the day before yesterday, to behave now that it has a population of which almost 19 percent has been born abroad. In many European countries there is talk about how, if migration isn't slowed down, the country will eventually become unrecognizable.

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for the Supergirl season 2 finale
While worldbuilding and stage-setting are all the rage for the superhero genre - especially on episodic TV - Supergirl opted to focus its second season finale on wrapping up the seasonal storylines and keeping the setups for new status-quos in the realm of character relationships (specifically, Kara is now the lone single person among a cast of characters that have almost all paired-up at this point), rather than comic-book references or mythology details. If anything, it's main "big" change (Mon-El is gone for parts unknown, with Earth's atmosphere rendered toxic to Daxamites for the foreseeable future) served to take things back closer to their season 1 starting point.
At least right up to the ending, where the somber final shot of Supergirl flying off to work out her newfound loneliness through crime-fighting (and the reveal that the returning Cat Grant has sussed-out her secret identity) cut abruptly to a flashback of the destruction of Krypton and the reveal that at least one more baby... "something" had been loaded into an escape pod and shot off to Earth before the planet went up in smoke. We didn't get to see it, but whoever was doing the loading left us with one word: "Reign."
While Supergirl is a show that often thrives on misdirection (the much-hyped word of General Zod turning up in the finale turned out to be references to a hallucination), "Reign" would seem very much to suggest that this incoming new nemesis will indeed be drawn once again from the character's comic book incarnation. But while the majority of the enemies faced by Kara Zor-El over her first two seasons have been modernized versions of classic Superman/Supergirl foes, the character most associated with the name Reign is a fairly recent creation of DC's now-concluding "New 52" era.
As incarnated in the pages of Supergirl's 6th DC Comics Universe incarnation - which featured an aloof, distant Kara who was fixated on her Kryptonian heritage and largely distrustful/dismissive of humanity - Reign is a female superhuman created by Krypton scientists but actually "built" from the fetal stage up from genetic experiments on a creature from an unknown alien world. She had comparable powers to Supergirl herself (flight, superhuman strength, super-speed, invulnerability and additionally was a master of weapons-based combat) and was later revealed to be the nominal leader of an entire four person team of similarly-created bio-weapons called "Worldkillers," which also included members named Perillus, Deimax and Flower of Heaven.
The gradual reveal of the Worldkillers' powers and origin were spread over a three issue Supergirl storyline that made them the first significant new nemeses the Girl of Steel faced in her New 52 continuity, which at the time was meant to exist in the absence of any prior storylines and center this particular Kara as one of the most recently-emerged figures in the new "streamlined" DC Universe. However, allusions to characters and events that had come before were still common; and more than a few fans took notice that the Worldkillers' origin as monsters made by cruel Kryptonian experimentation made them very similar to the villain of the infamous Death of Superman storyline - Doomsday.
This connection was teased out further when Supergirl, having worked out the "trick" that the Worldkiller's were vulnerable to one another's attacks, pushed them to the brink of defeat. In retreat, Reign revealed that a fifth yet-unseen Worldkiller existed somewhere in the universe - leaving fans to speculate that this could become the origin of the eventual New 52 version of Doomsday himself... while others speculated that Reign may actually have been referring to Kara.
Ever since the character was created, Superman adaptations have tended to be in a hurry to get a version of Doomsday into the mix. Given that the DCEU TV world's version of Supergirl has leaned harder than most on establishing Kara as a direct parallel of her more famous cousin (with much of Superman's presence in the Season 2 finale serving to reinforce the idea that she is, in fact, the more powerful of the two), it's not hard to imagine the showrunners deciding that the next logical step in terms of enemies is to have Kara encounter a Doomsday analog of her own. If so, Reign - a female character with an extremely similar origin story - would seem to fit the bill for such a role almost too perfectly.
If this is the case, the question Supergirl fans will have to ask themselves while they wait for Season 3 to start delivering answers is what purpose a Doomsday-like character will play. In this particular series, villains' goals and motives tend to be secondary to what effect they'll have on Kara and her compatriots on an emotional/character level - and with Kara now having lost her main love interest and seemingly set to be re-focused on the superheroic side of her identity, a Doomsday-style encounter sets her up for intriguing and potentially character turns.
Doomsday, of course, was the character who killed (or, rather, appeared to have killed) Superman. No one really expects Supergirl to "kill off" its title character (at least not without a similar "just kidding" denouement); but the broader fallout of that storyline, which involved various "pretender" Supermen vying for the position of one true hero and an overall question of whether the "returned" original had changed for the worse. Is Reign set to be an excuse for Supergirl to work through some of the Reign (there's that word again...) of The Supermen story-beats? It seems possible - but we'll have to wait for season 3 to find out.

So I've used this blog as a canvas to whip out my ideas on the essentials of men's formalwear fashion – suits, shirts, pants, the fit, even dressing like Chuck Norris. But let's face it, even fit doesn't have a one size fits all (no pun intended) blue print. How clothes should taper around Charles Barkley (ugly thought) differ vastly from Matthew McConaughey (that of Dallas Buyers Club physique), Matt Damon and Joe Pesci. We all have different body types, and having a sense as to what fit would work based on that can be of tremendous value. Today, I want to hash out what constitutes good fit and practice for taller men.
We, as people, are generally better off playing to our strengths. Well, sometimes (reference Paris Hilton). But this generally works with clothing as well. As taller men, and especially so if we are slim, what we want is to reduce perceived elongation i.e reduction in excessive use of vertical stripes, along with several other factors:
Vertically Striped Shirts – While vertical stripes can work standalone (a vertical striped shirt without a jacket), combining a vertical striped shirt with a suit that is pinstriped is a cardinal sin for a taller man, slimmer man. A pinstripe suit with a lightly-checkered or solid shirt works well underneath. Pair in a thick, chalk stripe shirt with a pinstriped shirt will make you look more lanky than you already are.
Solid suits – While solid suits can be pulled off well with the right combination of shirt and tie patterns, a solid suit on a taller man appears as excessive fabric without any detraction. A patterned suit, albeit faint, such as faint pinstripes or a subtle herringbone, tends to work far more effectively for taller men and adds a level of character to your suit.
Textured clothing – As is the case with a pattern, a textured weave reduces what can appear as excessive fabric and add extra detail to your ensemble. A visible weave, such as herringbone, on a tweed jacket during the Fall can add an extra level of sophistication to your outfit!
Double-breasted jackets – While the double breasted jacket just recently seemed like a trend of yesteryear, its gradual comeback has been embraced by some. Taller men have a long enough torso to pull off a double breasted jacket. A double breasted jacket helps add extra bulk for taller, skinnier men!
Regarding Tailoring, some adjustments taller men can consider are:
Shirt Waist – Having a shirt fitted well for your torso will prevent excess fabric bunching up around the sides every time you tuck your shirt in.
Trouser Adjustments – Having your trousers adjusted at the hem to have an adequate amount of break (where your pants meet your shoes) can reduce your vertical lines and add some perceived width to your look!
A caveat to some of the above are suggestions for taller, heavier men. While a mix of patterns can still help reduce perceived length in your body, vertical stripes for your suits and shirts can be pulled off. However, simple, dark suits made from light weight cloths will help to tone down your bulk. Similarly, staying away for extra layering such as vests will help.
On the other hand, skinny, taller men should wear textured weaves and heavier clothing where possible.
And that's a wrap for this one! As always, comments and suggestions are welcome!

PACE imposes sanctions on the head of Azerbaijani delegation
Samed Seyidov, the head of the Azerbaijani delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), is among the four members of the Assembly, whose powers are limited by the results of the corruption investigation conducted with the PACE.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that investigators came to the conclusion that European politicians and officials had lobbied Azerbaijant interests for bribes. The official Baku has treated the investigators' report as biased and compiled with the aim of blackmailing.
On December 17, 2016, the website of the European Stability Initiative (ESI) published a report on the inquiry entitled "Caviar Diplomacy-2" into the practice of bribing PACE MPs by Azerbaijani politicians to lobby the decisions beneficial for Baku.
The PACE committee has concluded that four MPs had "seriously violated" the MPs' Code of Conduct, the PACE press service reports.
The decision to punish the four MPs will contribute to the improvement of the atmosphere within the PACE, said Anar Mamedli, the head of the Centre for Monitoring Elections and Democracy Education.
The MP Samed Seyidov has disagreed with the sanctions imposed on him. He treats the decision as a manifestation of double standards in relation to Azerbaijan.

Unable to access a network share using Windows SSO?
Posted by Vivek Agarwal on June 27, 2008
We use an inexpensive NAS device from Iomega (StorCenter Pro 150d) in our office for personal/test server backups. This has been operational for more than a year with minimal to no issues. We had tied the device to our local Windows domain for user authentication and that was trivial to set up as well. Today, we started having issues with users being prompted to login when accessing the 150d as a network share even after logging in to the Windows domain, specifying their correct credentials, and immediately being prompted to login again. Obviously, not very functional!
Given that both our system administrators were out, I figured I would look into the issue. Initial thought was that a restart ought to do the trick – not quite so. Once I realized that the restart did not resolve the issue, I dug deeper and in a few minutes found an issue that I suspected was the root cause. Even though the 150d is part of our Windows domain, it does not appear to synchronize its time with the domain controller. So over the course of the year, its time had gotten badly out of whack with reality. I am not an expert in Kerberos security protocol (understatement of the year 🙂 ), but I figured that if the time difference between the 150d and the domain controller was large enough, then there was a strong possibility that the Kerberos service ticket presented by my laptop would be rejected by the 150d. I corrected the time on the NAS, restarted and tested access. Sure enough, that resolved the issue!
Nice! Yes, I know enough about a lot of things to be dangerous on all fronts! 😉
