Deer season is on the horizon, and Jason Abraham's busy thinking about his next trophy doe. But the rancher from Canadian isn't scouring the countryside to hunt it down.
He'll just build it from scratch.
Abraham and Gregg Veneklasen, a Canyon veterinarian, are partners in a cloning venture they hope will broaden the genetics field, possibly creating clones of endangered or extinct species and even tackling human diseases.
Abraham already has cloned dozens of quarter horses for customers across the globe. So far, he and his partner have cloned 168 horses and nearly 20 deer.
At Abraham's sprawling 26,000-acre ranch near Canadian, his focus this time of year is cloning whitetail and mule deer.
The process starts with gene banking - taking tissue cells, or somatic cells - from a donor animal with superior genetics to obtain its DNA.
"Instead of using a sperm cell to produce an embryo, we use a somatic cell," Abraham explained.
Then unfertilized eggs, or oocytes, are removed from wild does harvested throughout the Texas Panhandle by hunters under a state permit system. The meat is donated to feed the hungry or is given to the state prison system, Abraham said.
After Abraham removes the oocytes from the does, he waits for their eggs to mature.
"Once it's matured, then we want to remove the DNA from it," he said. "We remove that DNA because this DNA is unknown genetics we don't want. ... This is junk DNA."
The DNA is extracted with a tiny needle on a special microscope called a micro manipulator, a device that can be used to closely examine cells. Then DNA from a donor doe or buck is reinjected into an "empty" cell - one without a nucleus.
"It's injected with a micro manipulator. We run it with little joysticks because it's so micro," he said.
Once Abraham ensures the cell is in proper position, he gives it a tiny shock, fusing the genetic material and sparking cell division.
"Once I fuse it, then the embryo begins, just like any other embryo," he said. "We transfer the embryo into a recipient, and it produces the clone."
Abraham also said he owns the patent to his deer-cloning process, which also can be used to clone quarter horses.
Cloning deer can be a pricey venture. A whitetail clone costs about $50,000 and a mule deer runs about $75,000, said Abraham, who has fielded a host of offers from large ranch owners. Horse clones cost much more and run up to $150,000.
Abraham keeps a herd of about 50 brood mares at his ranch, many of which once were destined for slaughterhouses. In the springtime, some will be selected as surrogate mothers for clones that one day could compete in elite quarter horse competitions and cutting horse events.
Abraham, a cutter himself, plans to enter one of his clones, Clays Little Peppy, in competition in the next year or so.
Cloning is a controversial subject in the horse world, and Abraham and Veneklasen remain embroiled in an ongoing lawsuit with the American Quarter Horse Association over registering their clones.
In July, an Amarillo federal jury determined an AQHA committee and top AQHA officials violated state and federal antitrust laws by conspiring to bar cloned horses from its horse registry. AQHA, which denied the suit's claims, is challenging the jury's decision and has appealed the verdict to a New Orleans federal court.
Abraham and Veneklasen are pondering the possibility of producing leaner cattle that require less water and less corn through an ongoing project with West Texas A&M University. They also are taking aim at human diseases such as cystic fibrosis and cancer, using pigs as a study platform.
Veneklasen noted that some are fearful of the technology he and Abraham are developing, but said eventually it could help cure many of the maladies that now afflict millions.
"Can you imagine never having a shot or fixing the pancreas?" said Veneklasen. "I think people who are scared of where we're going need to just understand what's going on in the world. ... If you don't understand something, you shouldn't be afraid of it; you should learn to understand it."
The Texas Panhandle duo also envision cloning endangered species some day. Veneklasen's dream is to clone the extinct woolly mammoth that once roamed the northern parts of Siberia and Alaska. For Abraham, it's the Pyrenean ibex, a curly-horned mammal that was declared extinct in its native Spain a few years ago, according to Mother Nature Network.
"We know that this is coming. There's already a lot of animals that are gene-banked," he said. "This is one baby step at a time."

Today, businesses do not require a brick and mortar location…
San Diego Fix and Flip Loans
San Diego Fix and Flip Lenders
A good fix and flip project begins with the right planning. If you're not familiar with fix and flip loans, just know that they're a type of real estate investment where a person buys a home with the intention of fixing it and then "flipping it" (selling it) for a profit. People have been doing this with great success for decades, but the real estate markets in San Diego have changed in the last few years, and it's vital that you keep up with the time and have good experts on your side to plan out your fix and flip project. As with everything else in life, you're only going to succeed if you have the right kind of loan on your side. To flip a house, you need a lot of money, and people with bad credit or limited income might believe that they don't have a chance of flipping a house. The pleasant news is that they're wrong.
You CAN flip houses, even if you're starting out with limited income and credit. That's because when you take out a fix and flip loan, you're going to take out a hard money loan. Your line of credit comes from the value of your asset, and in this case the asset is the house that you intend to flip. If your lender believes in your project and thinks you have a great idea for flipping a house, they're going to fund it, whether or not you have great credit or lots of money. That's because their own profit is going to come from the hard work that you do. And make no mistake, there's no such thing as flipping a house the easy way. You need careful planning, terrific experts, and a lot of money going into your project. A good lender like Delancey Street can make things happen for you.
San Diego Loans, No Credit Check
Delancey Street has been helping people get San Diego fix and flip loans for many years now. Our team is creative, dedicated, and above all knowledgeable about the things it takes to flip a house and truly make this dream come to life for someone with a knack for home improvement or repairs. If you have a working knowledge of "fixing up" houses, then you're already going to save a lot of money on labor. You can do some of the work yourself and save thousands of dollars during your project.
What you have to do in order to get one of these loans is show your lender that you're serious. That means you've got the backing of experts on your side who attest that, yes, your plan to flip the house is going to work, and it's going to generate a profit at the end of your hard work. And it will certainly be hard work to get it done, but as we've all learned, hard work can pay off in big ways, especially in the field of fixing and flipping houses.
You'll want to make sure that your house is in a good location, that you are are confident you can sell it back for a profit if you make the repairs and improvements you've said you will, and that you're going to stick with the project from beginning to end. This is not a short-term goal or one that is going to do itself. You have to be involved in every stage of the fix and flip, and you have to make sure that you opt for a lender that is going to see your project through until the end, too.
Call On Us Today
If you're ready to apply for fix and flip loans, you've come to the right place. The professionals at Delancey Street want to hear what your idea for flipping a house is. You'll need to have your paperwork handy and you're going to need to sell the idea to us. Remember, your credit and your income won't help unless the house we're going to fund is really capable of being flipped for a profit. If it is, then you're ready to go. Call us today and get ready to make money.

My router and my AOne XE were hit by the result of a lightning strike. Fortunately the other devices connected to the router were not affected.
The 3com chip has visual marks, it definitely looks roasted. It is no longer detected at the beginning of the boot. The computer seems to boot to some point, but shows the following behavior:
It takes a "correct" cold start (PSU remove from power) to detect the keybaord. From there, it could be used to change settings in UBoot. Booting into OS4.1 works only until the boot splash screen appears. This splash screen often looks like screen garbage. From that point the computer does not continue and tries booting again after some time.
When doing a reset or switching off the computer on the front button afterwards, the keyboard will be detected as defective.
What else could be broken? Is the whole board only usable as a wall decoration?

Here is a Showa I purchased as Tosai in Feb. 2001 at the Phoenix show. The second picture was taken a few days ago. The first picture maybe a year ago. What I would normally expect for a koi with sumi, is for the sumi to come on in the Winter and diminish in the Summer. I don't like the way this fish is developing at 22 inches. The hi is breaking up and she has at least temporarly lost her head sumi.

I've been looking at the animated grade statistics report, or visual report, a GSoC project by Daniel Servos. The different visualizations are very impressive.
The plan is to add the visual report to Moodle 1.9.5 and 2.0 – see MDL-13501 for more details.
I'm very happy with all the feedback we've received about gradebook tabs navigation, both in the forum discussion New gradebook navigation – Tabs and in the tracker (MDL-18004). There are just a few things left to decide upon, then the code will be added to core.

KUALA LUMPUR: Lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah was slapped with four charges of money laundering at the Sessions Court here today in connection with the RM9.5 million payment from former prime minister Najib Razak.
The charges were made under Section 4 (1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (Amla) 2001.
In the first two charges, Shafee was accused of receiving payments of RM4.3 million and RM5.2 million between August 2013 and January 2014.
In the following charges, he was accused of making false declarations to the Inland Revenue Board for the same amount between March and June 2015.
Shafee claimed trial to the charges which were read out before Sessions Court judge Rozina Ayob.
If convicted under Section 4 (1) of Amla, Shafee faces a maximum jail sentence of 15 years for the false declaration charges and five years for receiving the RM9.5 million.
He also faces a maximum fine of RM5 million or five times the money received.
The court set bail at RM1 million and impounded his two passports. Shafee paid RM500,000 of his bail today with the remaining RM500,000 to be paid next Tuesday.
The next case management will take place on Oct 2.
Former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim filed a suit against Shafee last June, saying he had been denied a fair trial following allegations by whistleblower site Sarawak Report that RM9.5 million was transferred to Shafee from Najib's private account.
The PKR leader said the Court of Appeal's decision on March 7, 2014 to convict him of sodomising Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan was made in an unconstitutional manner.
The appeals court's decision was upheld by the Federal Court on Feb 10, 2015.
The government had given Shafee a temporary licence to be made ad-hoc prosecutor to conduct the appeal which led the court to set aside Anwar's acquittal by the High Court in 2012.
In an affidavit filed in the Court of Appeal and released last week, Siti Rahayu Mohd Mumazaini, an officer from the Attorney-General's Chambers, affirmed that Shafee had received RM9.5 million from Najib to lead the Sodomy 2 prosecution.
She alleged that two cheques for RM4.3 million and RM5.2 million were deposited into Shafee's CIMB bank account on Sept 13, 2013 and Feb 17, 2014.

- My Grandmother always told me to avoid liquor and "doobies." Was she wrong?
We aren't here to argue with your Grandmother. She may very well be right. In fact, if she asks, we said: "of course she is right!"
However, many experts believe that within the next decade, Cannabis tourism will bring nearly eighteen (18) million tourists to Canada annually. It is for these travellers we have written these frequently asked questions and responses.
- Is cannabis legal in Canada?
Medicinal cannabis use has been legal in Canada since July 2001, and adult-use (not medicinal) of cannabis became legal in Canada on October 17, 2018.
- Where can I purchase cannabis legally in Canada?
Although adult-use cannabis consumption is legal throughout Canada's provinces and territories, travellers should be aware of provincial and local regulations and policies on medicinal and adult-use of cannabis, including how cannabis can be sold.
All Canadian provinces and territories, except for Nunavut, have both online sales and brick-and-mortar stores. In Nunavut, you can only purchase cannabis through the government-operated online retail space.
- Where can I consume cannabis legally in Canada?
The locations where you may legally consume cannabis in Canada varies, with differing provincial and local regulations on smoking cannabis in public, in close vicinity to schools and parks, and near government-owned facilities.
- If I purchase cannabis legally in my home country, can I bring it with me when travelling to Canada?
No, you may never cross the Canadian border with cannabis products, regardless of whether THC or CBD cannabis products are legal in your home country.
- If I purchase cannabis legally in one Province or Territory of Canada, can I fly with this cannabis to other Provinces or Territories of Canada?
Yes, according to Transport Canada, adult and medicinal users of cannabis can now travel between Canadian airports with up to 30 grams of cannabis in either their carry-on or checked luggage. It is important to note that the traveller's final destination is controlling on whether travel with Cannabis is permitted.

On Tuesday thousands will gather to celebrate the most aggressive ongoing European settler colonialism. Organizers of Montréal's annual Israel Day rally claim it is the largest event of its kind in the country.
A significant proportion of the crowd will come from the city's 15 Jewish day schools, which receive most of their funds from the public purse. Many of the kids bused downtown will carry Israeli flags and their faces will be painted in its colours. At the 2014 Israel Day rally a 12-year-old Herzliah student, Jon Frajman, told the Montréal Gazette, "if we didn't support Israel, we wouldn't have a place to call home."
(A few years ago I witnessed a similar scenario at an antiabortion protest in Ottawa packed with Catholic school students.)
Herding students to a weekday rally is a visible form of activism, but it's a small part of these schools' crusading for Israel. A recent Canadian Jewish News cover story titled "What to teach Jewish students about Israel?" detailed the growing importance given to classes on Israel at Jewish day schools. While students have long been "taught from a young age to see Israel as the land of milk and honey," in recent years Jewish day schools have ramped up their indoctrination in reaction to "anti-Israel student groups on campuses throughout North America."
Head of Winnipeg's Gray Academy of Jewish Education, Lori Binder told CJN that Israel education is taught from junior kindergarten to graduation. But, "the crescendo I guess, is a full-year course for all our grade 12 students in a course called Israel advocacy."
Gray Academy's Israel advocacy course was set up eight years ago. Recently, the Combined Jewish Appeal Israel Engagement Initiative developed a program for Grade 10 students at Montréal schools called Israel Update and Vancouver's King David High School organizes an annual trip to Israel for Grade 8 students.
One of the five "Faces of Success" in a Federation CJA booklet promoting Montréal Jewish schools is a man named Oliver Moore, a graduate of McGill Law who works with NGO Monitor in Jerusalem. Moore is quoted stating: "My experience attending Jewish high school imprinted me with a Zionist ethic and a profound appreciation for Israel's importance. It troubles me that Israel is under constant political threat and that its legitimacy is questioned. What I find especially disturbing is that the language of human rights has been distorted to dispute its right to exist. That is why I've decided to go to Israel and examine this issue in depth, and when I return to Canada, to contribute to Israel advocacy."
Day schools aren't the only institutional setting in which the young are taught to support Israeli violence and expansionism. Some Jewish Community Centres and summer camps promote Zionism to kids.
The Jewish National Fund has long tried to convince young minds of its colonial worldview. The registered Canadian charity offers various youth outreach initiatives to help build the "bond between the Jewish people and their land." The JNF has produced puzzles and board games as well as organizing kids dances and a youth summer experience program. According to JNF Canada's Education Department, the group "educates thousands of young people in Israel and abroad, helping them forge an everlasting bond with the Land of Israel."
An explicitly racist institution, the JNF promotes an expansionist vision of Eretz Yisrael. The mainstay of their youth outreach, JNF Blue Boxes' include a map that encompasses the illegally occupied West Bank. Over the last century millions of Blue Boxes have been distributed around the world as part of "educating Jewish youth and involving them in these efforts in order to foster their Zionistic spirit and inspire their support for the State of Israel. For many Jews, the Blue Box is bound up with childhood memories from home and the traditional contributions they made in kindergarten and grade school."
The best way to reverse Canada's contribution to Palestinian dispossession is to educate and mobilize the broad public about an issue removed from most people's daily lives. But, there's also a need to challenge Israeli nationalist opinion within the Jewish community. One way to do so is by criticizing the indoctrination of children. One means might be to respectfully picket JNF events targeted at kids or perhaps by plastering posters about Israeli violence and expansionism around Jewish schools.
While pro-Israel groups would likely denounce such efforts as "anti-Semitic," children at these institutions deserve to hear an alternative, universalist, anti-racist perspective. They need to know that not all Jews, Montréalers, Torontonians, Canadians, etc. support the most aggressive ongoing European settler colonialism. They need to learn to think for themselves, instead of blindly accepting the Israeli nationalist propaganda aimed their way.

Sampling Techinique
Having chosen a suitable sampling frame and established the actual sample size required, you need to select the most appropriate sampling technique to obtain a representative sample. The basic principle of probability sampling is that elements are randomly selected in a population. This ensures that bias is avoided in the identification of the elements. It is an efficient method of selecting elements which may have varied characteristics, as the process allows for a fair representation of this variability. It also means the laws of probability and statistics apply, allowing us to make certain inferences.
Simple random sampling (sometimes called just random sampling) involves you selecting the sample at random from the sampling frame. In this approach, all elements are given equal chance of being included in the sample. No one from the population is excluded from the pool. Random Sampling could be implemented through:
* The lottery method. In the lottery method of sampling, the names of the entire population are written on pieces of paper and a given number of names (or sample elements) are drawn at random. * Consulting the table of random numbers. If you already have a list of names of the population from which you wish to draw your samples, you can: 1. Number them.
2. Get a table of random numbers.
3. Close your eyes move your pencil over the table, and then point. See where your pencil stops. 4. The number where your pencil stopped will be your first sample. 5. Select the second sample.
6. Proceed until you are able to get the total number of sample you need.
A basic requirement for this method is a sampling frame for the total population. If there are 4,000 persons in the list, all names should be included in the sampling frame. It is also necessary to consider the sample size. Sample size can be computed using the Lynch et al. (1974) Formula. The formula gives a 95% reliability in estimating the sample size. It gives you the opportunity to adjust sample size according to your resource capability. You may estimate how much you can feasibly accept by adjusting the sampling error (d) that you are willing to commit. The sampling error (.025, .05, and .10) simply means the level of error you are willing to consider.
The Lynch et al. formula is:
Z = 1.96 (the value of the normal variable for a reliability level of 0.95. This means having a 95% reliability in obtaining the sample size.) p = .50 (the proportion of getting a good sample)
1-p = .50 (the proportion of getting a poor sample)
d = .025 or .05 or .10 (your choice of sampling error)
N = population size
n = sample size
Given the above formula:
If: N = 3,000
d = .05
n= 30001.962x .50(1-.50)3000.052+1.96² x .50(1-.50)
= 30003.8416x .253000.0025+3.8416 x .25
= 11,524.8 x .257.5+ .9604
= 2882.28.46
= 340.56 or 341
The advantage of applying this formula is that the bigger the population, the smaller the sample size.
This is sampling after every regular interval. This can be undertaken if the features of the population normally characterize what would be applied to simple random sampling. The key here is to determine the population and prepare the sampling frame. Number each one. 1. Determine the sample size.
2. Determine the interval.
Interval (I) = N (population size)n (sample size)
Randomly select the first number. When you have exhausted the numbers in the list, continue counting from the beginning of the list. Another way is to pick another number as the next random start and then select the elements in the interval until all samples are determined.
Stratified sampling is a modification of random...

WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) – A mom and her new baby girl are happy and healthy after the Western Lakes Fire District was called for an "imminent delivery."
Chief Brad Bowen says the crew got the call from Oconomowoc. When they went to the house, emergency responders helped deliver the baby right at the home.
"Out of 4,000 calls a year, one baby out of 4,000, that's kind of a rare occurrence and exciting at the same time," said Chief Bowen.
Western Lakes Fire District said mother and baby were taken to the hospital in good condition and sent their congratulations to the new parents.

Seized Exhaust Butterfly Valve ServiceWe are now very proud to be able to offer an exhaust valve service to rectify this seemingly common problem of seized butterfly valves within the header pipe. This problem results in some loss of low to mid range power and can cause stalling. BMW's answer is to replace the full header assembly at a cost of around £1,500.
We will charge £250 (including VAT) and this will get you the following;
1. A printed diagnostic to confirm the fault (call us and we will talk you through how to check).
2. A strip down of the exhaust and a service of the butterfly assembly. This will result in the valve moving freely.
3. A final printed diagnostic to prove the repair (which you can visually see too!).
On the attached vids you will see the seized pulley - if you look carefully you will see the Bowden cable tensioning as the ignition cycles as it tries to move the pulley and operate the exhaust valve. On the vid following servicing you will see the pulley opening and closing the valve as god intended!
Please be prepared to book your bike in for several hours.

Truck skids on icy runway and smashes into plane at Glasgow Airport sparking grounded flights and travel chaos
Several flights were grounded this evening as temperatures plummet across Scotland
FLIGHTS were grounded at Glasgow Airport causing travel chaos while crews tackled frozen runways after a tug vehicle collided with a plane.
Several flights were delayed last night and the airport was shut temporarily as temperatures plummet across Scotland.
It is understood the smash happened around 8.45pm between the tug and a British Airways plane.
The tug reportedly skidded on ice as the plane was being pushed back from the stand - the flight, which was headed to Gatwick, was cancelled as a result.
Firefighters were spotted boarding planes as deicing was carried out and the area made safe.
Not all flights were grounded as a result, however the exact number affected is unclear.
No one was injured and the airport reopened around 10pm.
A tweet by Air Live said: "British Airways Airbus A319 (flight #BA2965) collided with a tug at Glasgow Airport, possibly due to icy conditions.
"Emergency services still on scene. All operations suspended - flights holding and diverting to nearby airports."
Commuters reported an emergency service presence at the airport including the Scottish Fire Service.
Both the fire service and Police Scotland refused to comment.
A spokesman for Glasgow Airport said: "We are currently open and operational. The airfield has experienced flash freezing tonight along with multiple rain showers.
"A departing flight to Gatwick was cancelled following a minor incident on stand with a tug as a result of the freezing conditions.
"We can confirm that at no time were there any staff injuries, as was reported on various social media sources.
"Emergency services attended the incident as part of our normal operating procedures for any incidents involving aircraft.
"Our priority remains the safety of the airfield and its operations and we apologise for any disruption caused. We will continue to carry out de-icing throughout the night."

"Now captain saying the ice is so bad even firemen struggling to operate safely under it. Hardly sounds like safe conditions being maintained?... #wtf #wheresthegrit"

It comes after Met Office officials issued yellow warnings for parts of the country yesterday.

An investigation of destroyer midship section design with varying longitudinal and web frame spacing
Download Record
Dulin, Robert Oliver, Jr.
Evans, J. Harvey
MetadataShow full item record
The attractive possibility of minimizing ordering, handling and warehousing problems by employing uniform longitudinal scantlings and constant plating thicknesses throughout the midship section led to the decision to carry out an investigation of such a design methodology. The design technique proved to be feasible, but less economical that conventional techniques of midship section design. A computer tool for the systematic variation of longitudinal intervals has been developed and is now ready to be applied to midship section design with varying structural materials and different plating thicknesses and longitudinal scantlings.
This thesis document was issued under the authority of another institution, not NPS. At the time it was written, a copy was added to the NPS Library collection for reasons not now known. It has been included in the digital archive for its historical value to NPS. Not believed to be a CIVINS (Civilian Institutions) title.

Fernán Caballero
Fernán Caballero
|Cecilia Francisca Josefa Böhl de Faber
24 December 1796
Morges, Vaud
|7 April 1877(aged 80)
Fernán Caballero (24 December 1796, Morges, Vaud – 7 April 1877) was the pseudonym adopted from the name of a village in the province of Ciudad Real by the Spanish novelist Cecilia Francisca Josefa Böhl de Faber.
Born at Morges in Switzerland, Cecilia Francisca Josefa Böhl de Faber was the daughter of Johann Nikolaus Böhl von Faber, a Hamburg merchant, who lived long in Spain, married a native of Cádiz, and is creditably known to students of Spanish literature as the editor of the Floresta de rimas antiguas castellanas (1821–1825), and the Teatro español anterior a Lope de Vega (1832), she was educated principally at Hamburg, visited Spain in 1815, and in 1816 married Antonio Planells y Bardaxi, an infantry captain of bad character. In the following year Planells was killed in action, and in 1822 the young widow married Francisco Ruiz del Arco, Marqués de Arco Hermoso, an officer in one of the Spanish household regiments.[1]
Upon the death of Arco Hermoso in 1835, the marquesa found herself in straitened circumstances, and in less than two years she married Antonio Arrom de Ayala, a man considerably her junior. Arrom was appointed consul in Australia, engaged in business enterprises and made money; but unfortunate speculations drove him to commit suicide in 1859. Ten years earlier the name of Fernán Caballero became famous in Spain as the author of La Gaviota; the writer had already published in German an anonymous romance, Sole (1840), and curiously enough the original draft of La Gaviota was written in French. This novel, translated into Spanish by José Joaquín de Mora, appeared as the feuilleton of El Heraldo (1849), and was received with marked favor. Eugenio de Ochoa, a prominent critic of the day, ratified the popular judgment, and hopefully proclaimed the writer to be a rival of Walter Scott. No other Spanish book of the 19th century has obtained such instant and universal recognition. Translated into most European languages, it is the best of its author's works, with the possible exception of La Familia de Alvareda (which was written, first of all, in German).[1]
Less successful attempts are Lady Virginia and Clemencia; but the short stories entitled Cuadros de Costumbres are interesting in matter and form, and Una en otra and Elia o la Espana treinta años ha are excellent specimens of picturesque narration, it would be difficult to maintain that Fernán Caballero was a great literary artist, but it is certain that she was a born teller of stories and that she has a graceful style very suitable to her purpose. She came into Spain at a most happy moment, before the new order had perceptibly disturbed the old, and she brought to bear not alone a fine natural gift of observation, but a freshness of vision, undulled by long familiarity, she combined the advantages of being both a foreigner and a native.[1]
In later publications she insisted too emphatically upon the moral lesson, and lost much of her primitive simplicity and charm; but we may believe her statement that, though she occasionally idealized circumstances, she was conscientious in choosing for her themes subjects which had occurred in her own experience. Hence she may be regarded as a pioneer in the realistic field, and this historical fact adds to her positive importance. For many years she was the most popular of Spanish writers, and the sensation caused by her death at Seville on 7 April 1877 proved that her truthfulness still attracted readers who were interested in records of national customs and manners.[1]
Her Obras completas are included in the Colección de escritores castellanos: a useful biography by Fernando de Gabriel Ruiz de Apodaca precedes the Últimas producciones de Fernán Caballero (Seville, 1878).[1]

My setup will only rub a little when backing out of a steep driveway at an angle. Here are the specs:
-18x8.5 ET44 front with 225/40/18 tires, 15mm spacers
-18x9.5 ET46 rear with 255/35/18 tires, 15mm spacers
-Eibach Sport Springs with #2 pads up front, #1 rear
The overall wheel+tire diameter of your setup is a bit larger than my setup, but since Eibachs drop around 1.5", your setup might not rub with proper offset and spring/shock absorber combination. If you lower your car 1" and the wheel arches still come too close to your wheels, you can fine tune your ride height using thicker spring pads.

Plantar Fasciitis! What the hell is this? More importantly, why is this my problem? After I visited my doctor and did my research, I was pissed! Seriously. Another chronic health problem! Aging just sucks! Aging when you love shoes and now have a condition that makes wearing almost any shoe painful just bites! Eloquent for a PhD, right?
The truth of the matter is that it didn't take me long to realize the source of my problem: 1) I'm a child of the 80s and was jogging on hard cement before we realized the long term damage, and 2) I had been overstretching my arches while pushing the girls in the stroller during our Disneyworld jaunts. I don't regret either—both very pleasurable at the time—but now I had to learn to deal with the problem at hand.
There are many options for this chronic problem, one of which is surgery, but this option is seen as the last resort. Up until this point I haven't taken the time to peruse the Internet, but do know from my numerous other surgeries for endometriosis that surgical options never resolve a problem without triggering other issues. So, unless or until, surgery is a necessity, I am inclined towards the other viable options.
The bottom line is that I want to keep my active lifestyle despite my foot problems. I found several things that really helped me to achieve this goal:
- The best way to begin my mornings is to stretch my calf before taking those first steps. When the muscles in your calf are tight, they pull on the heel bone, making your plantar fascia very taut and prone to injury. To help loosen those muscles, I take a towel and loop it around the ball of my foot. Keeping my leg straight, I gently pull towards my body until I feel a stretch in the lower part of my leg. I hold that for 30 seconds and repeat up to 5 times before taking my first step out of bed.
- During the day, I place a tennis ball on the ground and gently roll it under my foot for a few minutes. It helps loosen up my plantar fascia, making it much less likely to become irritated. I did have to put enough pressure on the ball to get a deep massage. And, I did feel some soreness initially, but with time,I found it to be soothing.
- At the end of the day I use a frozen water bottle and roll it under my foot for 10 minutes. This is very effective in keeping inflammation in check.
These options do not resolve my problem! They do, however, help a lot in coping with the bigger picture. I am able to function to the point where I can keep up with the girls.

An elderly woman has died while on a ventilator after a power cut at a hospital, local media reported.
The 75-year old woman was in the ICU at Hithadhoo Regional Hospital when a relative discovered the ventilator no longer had electricity late Monday night and alerted the hospital staff.
The woman passed away after her condition worsened because the ventilator was not working, a family member told Addu Online.
The hospital denied the patient had died because the ventilator was no longer connected.
"The electricity was out at 6 pm last night. Patient died this morning. Nobody died due to lack of electricity to ventilator," senior community health officer Mohamed Najeeb told Avas.
Her condition was already critical when she was hospitalized, said Najeeb, adding that she had received immediate care from nurses after the ventilator issue was discovered.
The family has accused the hospital of negligence.
"They said the ventilator's electricity goes off due to the wind," said a Facebook post from the granddaughter of the deceased woman. "Why keep a thing like that in an ICU?"
The family was asked to not to talk about the issue, said the post.
"Why should we keep quiet? When we talk this won't happen to someone else too," read the post. "Today also she left us due to their carelessness. This is the state of a hospital which tons of people have to use."
Addu City is the second largest urban area of Maldives with a population of 32,000. Hithadhoo Regional Hospital is the biggest hospital in Addu.

Press Releases
26 November 2018
Interim Results Announcement For The Six Months Ended 30 September 2018
Café de Coral Group achieved solid results in the first half of FY2018/19. The Group experienced strong profit growth as investments in internal improvements began to bear fruit. Revenue performance was stable whilst we focused on solidifying fundamentals and rationalising our branch network.
During the reporting period, the dining-out market continued to grow – although customers are becoming more selective and price-sensitive in their dining habits. At the same time, labour shortages and a record low unemployment rate are proving to be challenging for staff recruitment. However, the Group remains confident in its ability to maintain growth through good times and bad, as it has proven over the past 50 years.
Ongoing investment in operational improvements is starting to pay off in the Group's core quick service restaurant (QSR) business – translating into greater efficiency and a broadened customer base. The business continued to fine tune its products, services, technology and operating model for optimum performance during the period. All of these initiatives have contributed to improvement in margins.
The casual dining business achieved positive growth in profit and developed strong business momentum during the first six months of the year. Reinforced portfolio and branding, supported by a commitment to quality ingredients and seasonal promotions have improved the business' contribution to the Group's results.
Despite a challenging operating environment, the Mainland China business continued to deliver steady growth in line with the market. During the period under review, the Group expanded its shop network in the market – including two key new outlets at the Shenzhen and Guangzhou airports.
The overall outlook for the food and beverage industry remains competitive. Although the Hong Kong Government's newly introduced minimum wage requirements will pose a challenge, the Group is confident that we can continue to drive positive growth in performance.
Building on lessons learned over the past 50 years, the Group is optimistic about its long-term prospects, and its ability to adapt and evolve for continuous, sustainable success.

New York's Fiscal Sickness
The Story
Governor Andrew Cuomo presents himself as a sober-minded centrist when it comes to spending and taxation. But New York is in poor fiscal health: revenue is not keeping pace with rising pension obligations. The state needs radical fiscal reform if it is to avoid a crisis.
The Facts You Need to Know
Reliant: New York State is overly reliant on taxing its highest-earning residents, especially through its "millionaire tax," which brings in 9% of the state's personal income tax revenue. Read more.
Unfunded: The percentage of state income that represents unfunded pension liabilities has more than tripled since 2006. Read more.
Unaccountable: Albany wastes billions of dollars in failed economic-development projects. Read more.
"Spending will outpace revenues over the next three years with potential cumulative gaps totaling $17.9 billion."
Twitter Take
Four of every five taxpayer-dollars collected by New York City personal income tax is spent paying down the city's public pension fund system's liabilities: https://t.co/Dj3O8cliCS pic.twitter.com/4b266Y4U46— ACCFmedia (@ACCFmedia) October 9, 2018
The Past is Present
"Spitzer fights back on health-care reform."
And in other news...

NGEZI Platinum FC left back Qadr Amini on Friday tied the knot with his wife, Kudzanai Mangachena, at the Harare magistrates court.
The footballer said he was elated to formalise his union, adding that celebrations will take place at the end of the season.
"I am happy to tie the knot. It is something good in the footballing world for us to be the examples in our respective communities.
"The vows that I made, I will honour them," said the father of two.
Amini said he has suspended wedding celebrations to focus on the premier league title race.
"The premier league race for the mean time is a major focus. I have put the celebrations on hold but will give a date after the season.
"Once the season is done, we will announce the date," added Amini.

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."(Deuteronomy 31:6 ESV)
I'm not sure I really _want _to pray courage for my kids — I want them to be kept safe and secure, why should I desire that they need courage?
Yet I also know that we all need to face fears and a sheltered life of ease is not best for any child. It requires courage to trust God, to follow Christ when everyone else is calling it foolishness.
Courage is necessary if my children are ever going to say, "I am not ashamed of the gospel" (Romans 1:16).
A necessary part of wisdom is courage, knowing the wise path will cost or hurt but choosing to walk in it anyway. This is what makes a person honourable.
Then there unfortunately are those bad things which happen and we cannot fully protect our children from. Already two of my kids have spent time in hospital and one has endured prolonged, severe ezcema. She was courageous, facing unrelenting pain and trusting both God and her parents.
As a father I don't know what lies ahead for my kids, but they will need courage to face it honourably and with wisdom.

As a child, Deborah Jaqson always knew that she had creative abilities. Having developed a real passion for entertainment, she became involved in performing arts as an amateur actress.
Raised by a devout, born-again Christian, her mother did not encourage her use of her artistic talents, as acting was considered in the church to be of the world. In July of 1987, after completing a course in performing arts course, Deborah auditioned and joined a stage musical, without gaining her mothers consent. Her mother finally approved, however, once she saw the performance.
Deborah began writing short stories, rap lyrics and plays when she was twelve years old. After raising a family, she continued to write. Eventually, she and her family moved to Spain. While living in a small, claustrophobic village, she began writing once again. Her first novel, Fixing John a Drink, was completed in January of 2006, followed by the erotic Two-Play.
Not comfortable with writing only one book at a time, she managed to squeeze in a few childrens books, which were inspired by her youngest child. Currently, she is completing a third romance novel.

Pension Schemes
Thinking about your retirement? The first thing that comes to one's mind is a stable source of monthly income that would help in maintaining the standard of living. Considering that once retired, the income being generated from employment would no longer exist, it becomes important to build a source, which would continue to provide the required monthly funds.
There are multiple investment options available which helps to meet this objective. However in order to achieve the retirement objective, the basic requirement needs to be satisfied by all aspirants which is TO SAVE & INVEST. This would result in creation of a retirement corpus out of which pension would be provided. Larger the corpus is at the time of retirement, the higher would be the amount of pension.
We have enumerated a few of the available options for pension investments.

Apple is bringing two major iOS 12 features to the next major version of the macOS software, according to new reports on Friday.
The Screen Time app, which helps users monitor how much time they spend using individual apps, is destined for macOS 10.15, writes 9to5Mac.
Siri Shortcuts, which empowers the voice assistant to act proactively on the users' behalf based on previous habits, while also grouping actions to be carried out under a single voice command, could also be on the way.
The report says Apple also has more iOS-like surprises up its sleeve for the launch of the next major operating system, but did not specify which.
Related: Best MacBook 2019
From previous reporting it already appears Apple will be splitting iTunes into separate Music, Podcasts and TV apps on iOS, as well as launching a revamped Apple Books app.
It's perfectly possible Apple will bring many more of its iOS apps to the Mac this summer, after beginning the process with Stocks, News and Voice Memos last year.
The company plans to encourage developers to port their own apps from iOS to macOS, through a new SDK, so it isn't surprising to see the likes of Screen Time and Siri Shortcuts make their way to the desktop OS.
Screen Time will work on the Mac 'just like it does on iOS' according to today's report, enabling users to set time limits for certain applications that must be overridden with a password should those limits be reached.
As for Siri Shortcuts, this also plays into third-party apps porting their wares over to the Mac via the Marzipan development tools. Today's report says only Marzipan apps will be able to use Siri Shortcuts on the Mac.
macOS is highly likely to be announced on June 3 during the WWDC keynote address. The company will also unwrap new versions of iOS, watchOS and tvOS if tradition is to be followed. Apple has, in recent years, offered public betas in the aftermath of the event.
Is Screen Time potentially just as useful on macOS as it is on iOS? Let us know @TrustedReviews on Twitter.
