When it comes to power, weight, and overall ease of use, there is no bow in the world that can compare to
compound bows. Compounds are very different from the regular longbow that most people are so used to seeing. Instead of just relying on the archer's strength when drawing and aiming the bow, it uses a system of pulleys, or cams, to make the entire process easier.
When you pull the string back on a regular longbow, you need to hold it tight so that you do not prematurely release the arrow
This takes a huge amount of strength. With a modern compound bow, you can store a lot more force without straining your arm too much when drawing back the bowstrings.
This is thanks to the ingenious system of cams that give the archer a mechanical advantage. With compounds, you no longer have to put too much strain on your body just to make your arrows fly far and straight.
Another advantage that compounds have over the other types of bows is that they are lighter and easier to aim. These bows are usually made from lightweight, but very strong carbon fiber.
This makes them easier to use than the traditional longbow. They are made from unconventional materials,
so compound bows are not affected much by humidity and temperature changes.
Thus, you can store them anywhere you like.
On the other hand, because a compound bow has more moving parts, it is not as reliable as a regular long bow or recurve bow.
It is also harder to maintain, and you need to take it to the local archery shop every time you change the bowstring, unless you have your own bow press tool. However, as technology improves, compound bows can almost shoot as accurate as the regular bows with faster arrow speed.
In conclusion, technology has certainly come a long way, and it has even changed one of the oldest weapons known to man. By melding the high-tech with the old-fashioned, the classic bow is transformed into a formidable weapon that can even make Robin Hood blush. So, if you are looking for a bow that is not just accurate, but is also very easy to use, then look no further than the trusty
compound bow.

Issue Description
Your SFDC Campaign is synced to a Marketo Program but leads that are added to the SFDC Campaign are not showing up as members of the Marketo Program.
Issue Resolution
Take the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:
- Log into Salesforce using the Marketo Sync credentials.
- Confirm that the SFDC Campaign is visible to the Marketo Sync user. If it is not visible, this will cause the sync to fail.
- Confirm the members of the SFDC Campaign are visible to the Marketo Sync user. Marketo cannot sync leads it cannot see.
- Compare the member statuses of the SFDC Campaign to the statuses of the Marketo Program. The sync will only work for statuses that match exactly.
For example, if the statuses for your SFDC Campaign are
- Invited
- Registered
- Attended
but the statuses for your Marketo Program are
- Invited
- Attended
then none of the leads in SFDC with a campaign status of "Registered" will be added to the membership of the Marketo Program. To resolve this, make sure that all statuses match between the campaign and the program. You may need to force an update on the leads to re-queue the sync.

Employees of investment banks and insurers that received federal bailout aid during the economic crisis will not have to pay an extra tax on bonuses.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell vetoed the bill that would have imposed extra taxes.
The bill would have set a two-year, 2.47 percent surcharge on any bonus totaling $500,000 or more. The revenues raised would have exempted certain small businesses from the state's annual $250 business entity tax.
The Republican governor said on Wednesday that she believes the bonuses are inappropriate.
However, she predicted the legislation would trigger "a long, costly and potentially unwinnable legal battle."
The General Assembly is not expected to try to override the veto.
Rell says, however, the tax on bonuses wouldn't cover the cost of the small business tax exemption.

The Happiest Place on Earth, Unless You Look Like Santa (Video)
This morning on Tabloid News we celebrated Christmas in July! Well, regardless of the month, it seems a Santa lookalike is never in season at Disney World where a man was told he had to look less like Santa Claus in order to stay in the park. Thomas Tolbert was reportedly taking away attention from Disney's costumed characters and "confusing" other park visitors. Park officials asked him to tone down the Santa resemblance after children began approaching him and asking for his autograph.

Amazing service!
Wow it must of been a secret all right , I never saw the limo. But I must say if that's the inside , gotta be one helluva limo
Highly recommend this company! I used for the airport and everything went smoothly both ways. Both drivers (Joe and Eric) were on time and professional. The cars were comfortable and clean. Would definitely use again! My stress level was much reduced not having to worry about driving in Philly traffic.
We used Secret's as our wedding transportation for our wedding and we were so happy we did! The limo bus was clean, comfortable, and the driver was professional and attentive. The driver called us the day before to confirm the agenda for the day, showed up early, and was helpful and friendly all day long. Will be recommending Secrets and we will be using them again in the future for sure!
We had chosen Secrets Limousine through a recommendation from our venue and are so glad that we did! Reserving the limo was very easy, as I was able to check out the fleet on their website. I requested a quote online and then was able to call and confirm our reservation, but I did not need to pay in full in order to reserve. We selected the 20 passenger limo bus, which was spacious and comfortable for our bridal party (a total of 16 people including photographer). The day before the wedding I was contacted by our driver to confirm arrangements, which was reassuring. On the day of the wedding, Allen, our driver, was early and was able to bring the groomsmen and other family members to the church promptly, before coming back to the hotel to pick up the bridesmaids. Allen went above and beyond and came in the church with me and the girls to help make sure that we all looked fantastic before entering. After the bridesmaids had processed, he even helped me adjust and fix my train before I walked down the aisle. Allen stayed parked at the church for the entirety of the ceremony, which allowed us to get to our bridal portraits location efficiently. Before we actually left the church, he popped open a bottle of champagne that he had sitting on ice and served to me and my new husband, with glasses that were engraved "Mr. & Mrs." with our new last name and our wedding date. Inside the limo were beverages and refreshments waiting for us, as well as champagne flutes lining the sides of the limo for all of our bridal party so we could all celebrate and cheers together. He was able to shuttle us from the church around Old City to take our portraits, then drop us off back at our reception venue. My entire experience with Secrets Limo has been phenomenal! Booking the limo was easy and efficient, the actual day-of transportation was flawless and fun, and I felt in good hands the entire time! Thank you so much Allen and the Secrets Limo team!
We had a phenomenal experience with Secrets Limousines. My fiancé and I, took a few family and friends to enjoy a night out on the town. The party bus was exactly what we wanted. The driver (Jimmy), was very professional. He called the day before to touch base on the pick-up timing and the stops that would be taking place throughout the evening. The night of our outing, Jimmy arrived on time. The bus was very clean and well kept. From the beginning to the end, Jimmy was on point. He showed us how to work the Bluetooth and gave us some housekeeping rules. Jimmy even offered to get us ice for the additional drinks we brought on the bus. After our planned activities were finished, Jimmy gave great suggestions on where to go and where to take fantastic pictures. Overall, our night was a blast. We will certainly be using Secrets Limousines again!
As an event planner, I am very aware how crucial it is that every elementt of an event is well planned and executed. Everything has a flow and the start of an event sets the stage for the entire day or evening. Therefore, hiring the right transportation provider is very important. Knowing my client wanted a limo, I knew exactly who to call. Secrets Limousine is very responsive, fairly priced and extremely easy to work with. However that has to be backed up by the service performed by the driver and Secrets has always excelled in both areas. My client's driver was Dan and he followed every request I had.... he called me when he is leaving.... called when he arrived at the client's home. He even became concerned when no one was coming out at the allocated time. He was friendly, professional and delivered my client and family to each destination on time. The event was during the day, in the city, it was cold, snowing and raining but alll went very smoothly. Dan was parked on a very busy street waiting for the client to leave the event and was about to get a ticket. He immediately informed me that he would need 8 minutes to get around the block to come back. It is worked out perrfectly. Dan always informed me of his status and was very such a great addition to the event team. As always, I highly recommend Secrets for any event. You will have an overall superb experience from the first call to the driver delivering the client home. Elaine Igoe Event Planner EBE EVENTS & ENTERTAINMENT

If you haven't heard yet, it's true. Effective December 21st, 2015, all Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Drones) are required to be registered with the FAA (again). That means you will have to register your drone if you want to fly it outside, anytime, anywhere; even for non-commercial use. The silver lining is it still costs $5, and you can do it online here.
To qualify you will, however, need to meet some requirements. The registered owner/operator must be:
- 13 years of age or older. (If the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft.)
- The registrant must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
- Visiting foreign nationals must register their UAS upon arrival in the United States (online registration serves as a certificate of ownership).
While operating your drone, you must also be following the "Operator Safety Guidelines".
- Always fly below 400 feet altitude.
- Always keep your unmanned aircraft in sight at all times.
- Never fly near manned aircraft, especially near airports.
- Never fly within 5 miles of an airport.
- Never fly over groups of people, stadiums or sporting events.
- Never fly near emergency response efforts.
- Never fly under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Always be aware of FAA airspace Temporary Flight Restrictions.
While the rules are straightforward, the story behind them isn't. Drone registration in the US has been a bit of a rollercoaster to say the least.
Not since Ross and Rachel on Friends has there been a more epic will-they-or-won't-they story than the US has with drone registration. Up until 2015, casual pilots could send their drones skyward with little regulation from the FAA. Late in that year, however, a new program required pilots to pay a $5 registration fee and follow a series of specific rules, like keeping the craft within the pilot's direct line of sight. More than 800,000 pilots registered their drones and became a part of a national database.
Then, earlier this year, a District of Columbia court of appeals overturned the rule, citing the 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform act, which helped take into account the new crop of hobbyist operators sending UAVs skyward. Professionals using the crafts for commercial purposes still needed specific licensing, but the masses were unfettered by regulation to fly.
You once again have to register your drone—yes, even the little ones
At this point, the FAA went on record against the DC courts of appeals decision. I can't say I blame them, who would want to refund millions of dollars in registration fees. After the court decision, it seemed the issue was resolved, then just days ago, Trump signed a bill reinstating the registration.
"The FAA put registration and operational regulations in place to ensure that drones are operated in a way that is safe and does not pose security and privacy threats," the agency said in response to the appeals court ruling. And with good reason — the more drones that take to the skies, the more likely there are to be collisions with passenger planes.
And now enshrined in law, it would appear the FAA has the final word on the issue.
"We welcome the reinstatement of registration rules for all small unmanned aircraft," the FAA said in a statement to TechCrunch. "Ownership identification helps promote safe and responsible drone operation and is a key component to full integration."
Trump signs bill reinstating the FAA's drone registration requirement
Now that Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act, it's important you register your drone as soon as possible. If you don't, there are penalties.
Failure to register an unmanned aircraft that is required to be registered may result in regulatory and criminal penalties. The FAA may assess civil penalties up to $27,500. Criminal penalties include fines of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to three years.
There is no one-size-fits-all enforcement action for violations. All aspects of a violation will be considered, along with mitigating and aggravating circumstances surrounding the violation. In general, the FAA will attempt to educate operators who fail to comply with registration requirements. However, fines will remain an option when egregious circumstances are present.
If you are planning on flying your drone, take the time, and invest the $5 to register your drone today. It's far cheaper to register than pay up to $27,500 in civil penalties or $250,000 in criminal penalties. You can register online, here, it's fast, and inexpensive.
Please note, this registration will cover you for non-commercial use. If you'd like to operate your drone commercially, you will still need to pass your FAA Part 107 exam. For drone operators interested in pursuing commercial registration, we offer drone school training courses covering a variety of subjects; learn from the best, learn from Drone Universities.

To obtain ½ cup of fresh lemon juice, squeeze approximately 3 large lemons. For better juicing, roll the lemons against the counter or the palms of your hands before slicing it in half. Squeeze the lemons using your hands or a juicer.
Once you enough fresh lemon juice, combine the lemon juice concentrate, the sugar and the fresh lemon juice in a large pitcher or tumbler. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture and allow the sugar to dissolve. Then add the 7 cups of water and mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
Always taste the lemonade before serving it, even if you are following a fool-proof recipe. If the taste is too tangy, add a little bit more sugar. In case the lemonade is too sweet, add a small amount of lemon juice but not too much. In case you do add too much lemon juice, add more water to the mixture.
It's time we move over to the garnishing. Wash a fresh lemon thoroughly under the sink to remove the waxy coating. Use a kitchen knife to cut the lemon into wedges or thin slices. Toss the slices in the pitcher filled with lemonade.
Though the use of thyme for garnishing is completely optional, it adds a distinct flavor to the lemonade. Wash a few thyme leaves and toss them in the pitcher. Do not forget to stir.
Now that your drink is ready, pour the fresh lemonade into the serving glasses. Top off the glasses with plenty of ice cubes and add some more fresh thyme and lemon slices for garnishing.
Have you had enough of store-bought sugary drinks? It is time you switch to healthier alternatives. Consider making a humungous jug of fresh lemonade for your friends and family this summer. The sweet and tangy drink will refresh your senses and will leave you craving for more. Rest assured, making the perfect glass of lemonade is quite simple and will only take a few minutes of time. Follow these tips if you want to make the perfect glass of homemade lemonade:
Conduct a thorough inspection before picking out lemons at the grocery store. You will need ripe lemons to made fresh lemonade hence put down anything that appears green. Ripe lemons have a uniform bright yellow color and should not be pale.
A ripe lemon should have a fine textured peel and should feel firm in your hands. Additionally, avoid purchasing lemons that seem old, mushy or have many brown spots on them. When selecting a lemon, ensure that it is heavy. The heavier the fruit, the more juice it has.
Meyer lemons are citrus fruits that are a cross between a lemon and a mandarin or a regular orange. These lemons are much smaller and much rounder than regular lemons. Because of their popularity, Meyer lemons can be found easily at grocery stores.
They are known for their signature sweet taste that sets them apart from all other kinds of lemons. Meyer lemons are perfect for making lemonade plus the added sweet taste means you can hold back on the sugar, which results in a healthier drink.
While you typically need 5 to 6 regular lemons to yield one cup of fresh lemon juice, the results may vary. Always buy more produce than you think you will need as the amount of juice varies depending on the type and size of the lemonade. Additionally, you can use a few extra lemons for garnishing and serving cocktails.
Do not simply start squeezing lemons straight out of the fridge. Cold temperatures cause the membrane in the lemon to constrict and solidify, making it harder for you to extract the juice out of the rigid fruit. Prior to making lemonade, consider allowing the lemonades to rest for a little while at room temperature. A room temperature lemon is easier to work with because of its soft texture, making it easy for you to squeeze out the juice.
Warm lemons are easier to work with than room temperature lemons and produce a lot more juice. To warm the lemons, fill a medium sized bowl with hot water. The water should not be boiling or steaming. Allow the lemons to rest inside the bowl for a few minutes. You can pull out the lemon once its outer skin feels warm.
Ensure you have gotten rid of all the seeds while squeezing the lemons. Use a strainer if necessary or pick out the seeds by hand.
Lemonades aren't just about lemons. Consider experimenting with your favorite fruits. Add fruits, such as berries or lime, or use puree instead. One of the advantages of adding fruit puree is you will not have to add loads of sugar afterwards.
Tired of water downed drinks? Consider making yourself lemonade ice cubes before serving the drink. For added flavor, toss in some mint leaves and herbs. Think ice cubes are tacky? Chill your drinks by adding frozen fruits and berries.
Enjoy a glass of tasty and refreshing lemonade at home by following these helpful tips. Enjoy!

Games of the XVIII Olympiad
Tokyo (JPN)
10 October - 24 October 1964
The Games Travel to Asia
The 18th Olympic Games, held in Japan's capital city, Tokyo, were the first to be held in Asia. These only the second Olympics – after Los Angeles in 1932 – for which most horses had to travel across the world. Unlike 1932, when only six nations had been represented, 116 riders from 20 countries competed in Tokyo. There was no economic crisis as there had been in the 30s and there was now air transport.
Horses Learn to Fly
Most horses came by aircraft, three had to be destroyed. The US Eventer Markham panicked on departure from Newark. Chile lost a Jumping horse on the way to Tokyo after a heart attack, and an Argentinean horse had to be destroyed on the flight home. The German team departed from Amsterdam on 28 September at noon and arrived, with a stop-over in Anchorage, Alaska, on 29 September at 3pm. From Tokyo airport, after a quarantine period in Yokohama, the Eventing horse had a five-hour road transport to Karuizawa where the competition was to begin two weeks later. The Soviet horses came by sea and were caught in a typhoon.
Relations with the IOC
The relations between the IOC and the FEI, which had been tense after the judging scandal of 1956, had eased. But problematic questions, especially concerning military personnel, remained. In November 1963, IOC President Avery Brundage had written to all International Federations to inform them of a decision that military personnel could only be exempted from regular duty for three days to train for the Olympics. It was even suggested that officers should be excluded altogether from the Games.
The IOC also insisted that there should be one medal for one effort. This was not a problem for Dressage – the Grand Prix decided the team medals and the ride-off/Grand Prix Special the individual medals – nor was it for Jumping where two separate competitions had been held since Rome in 1960. At the time, no one saw a solution for Eventing.
Games Facts & Figures
- 93 nations
- 5,151 athletes (678 women; 4,473 men)
- 19 sports
- The last carrier of the flame, Yoshinori Sakai, was chosen because he was born on 6 August 1945, the day the atomic bomb exploded in Hiroshima, in homage to the victims and as a call for peace in the world.

Worldwide, there are over 12 million people diagnosed with cancer each year. 8 million of those people die from its effects, including over 200,000 in Germany. Thus, the need for effective cancer drugs and treatments is correspondingly high.
For over 35 years, Heraeus has helped countless cancer patients in the fight against cancer with platinum-based pharmaceutical ingredients used in chemotherapy. The production of these highly active substances is very demanding. Anti-tumor agents must exhibit the highest levels of purity and highly specific manufacturing requirements must be maintained.
One of the primary goals of cancer research is to discover more effective and more tolerated therapies, which can significantly improve the quality of life for patients both during and after treatment. This is especially true for the innovative field of "Targeted Therapies", in which the active agents are deployed directly against cancer cells like molecular guided missiles. Heraeus developers are currently working on new highly active ingredients and thus contribute to the fight against cancer.

"Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe." Gail Devers
We are all aware of how limited our time on this earth is. As soon as we were born the clock seemed to start ticking, and we are constantly encouraged to make haste.
We were told not to waste time in school, being reminded that we would all regret it when we got older and how much little time we have.
As adults, we are constantly told when it is time to get married, have a family and work hard at our careers because then we have to prepare for our retirement. We have to plan for the children, their education, and our retirement.
It seems everything is set by the clock. You are told how much money you need to save to be able to retire comfortably and how your career should proceed to be considered successful by a certain age.
What if, unfortunately, all the goals you set for yourself are not attained by a certain age, does that mean you should quit? What do you do if you haven't achieved all that society set for you? Does that mean you are a failure and should just give up and disappear? What do you do besides worry, become frustrated and lose your self-confidence?
Unfortunately, life doesn't always go the way we want it to. Sadly, many of us won't achieve everything the way we planned it and might even have to start over later in life in spite of our well laid out plans.
Life has a way of turning things upside down for us when we least expect it.
The good news is no matter where you are in your career or where you are in life you have a chance to start over. It is never too late to achieve your dreams. Your age should never be a stumbling block in the way of you going after what you want.
You must realize that wherever you are in your life, that is where you should be. It doesn't matter what age you are. If you are 20, 30, 40, 50 or above, you are where you should be in life, and your goals are still yours for the taking. Never forget that your dreams are yours and no one else's. If you never achieve your dreams no one else can for you and they always will be there unachieved. Therefore, it is right there waiting for you to achieve.
Everything you have been through in your life has led you to where you are now for you to get where you need to be. Every high, every low and in between all led you to this very moment.
You are at a crossroad in your life, and you need to make a move; it is just a matter of taking one step at a time in the right direction. Whatever age you are currently is the right age you need to be, to be able to succeed. You must remember we all mature at different ages and, therefore, achieving our goals are the same.
It doesn't matter your age and your previous career path if you want to make a change for the better
Start by asking yourself one simple question right now. What is it I want to achieve in my life? Once you have answered that question, you then need to find out how to get there and put the things in place to take you there.
Here are a few tips on how to achieve all your goals at any age:-
Write down your goal
It doesn't matter your age set your goals or take the old one out and dust it off and get ready to go after it today. Make sure you take the time to document it. Writing it down will not only help you to remember, but it will also help you to remain focus. Every time you lose focus, you must go back to it and remind yourself of the goal you set.
Set a time table
Not only is writing down your goals important but you must set a time to achieve those goals. Without a deadline, your goals will only be a dream. Setting a time will not only help you to remain focus, but it will also encourage you to become more dedicated because you want to achieve those goals in the time you allotted.
Tell someone you respect
One of the main reasons many of us fail to achieve our goal is because we do not let others know about them. When you tell someone of your desire, they will keep you accountable. They will remind you, and you will be disappointed if you do not achieve those goals, so you work hard to be successful. The persons you tell will constantly ask you about your progress, and the guilt will help to motivate you to keep going.
Create consequences
When you have set your goals and your schedule, you should also be prepared to reap the consequences if you fail to achieve them. I am not saying you need to be hard on yourself if you are working diligently toward your goal, and you haven't achieved all in the time allotted. You must be prepared to revisit the time and if needed change it accordingly, but you must also have consequences for yourself if you become lackadaisical. The consequence could be that you could quit watching your favorite show or not doing something you treasure for a while until you get to where you need to be.
Set up an accountability system
It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, but you must be able to hold yourself accountable for your success. You could use social media where you post your progress, and your followers will be there to not only hold you accountable but motivate and encourage you along the way. It is a way to daily track your progress and to help you to remain on track. If one system doesn't work, find one that works for you and use it to remain on track.
Reward yourself
Just as important as it is for you to be prepared to feel the consequences of not doing the things you need to do you must also be prepared to reward yourself for your successes. Rewarding yourself for achieving and reaching certain targets towards will motivate and inspire you to continue to work hard and to build your self-confidence.
Avoid comparing yourself to others
It doesn't matter what stage you are in your life you will be tempted to compare yourself to others. You must resist the temptation to do so. It is never a good thing to compare your achievements to others. Focus on what you need to do to achieve the goals you set for yourself. Everybody else is busy working on their dreams; you should do the same.
Leave the past in the past
In the Bible lot's wife became a pillar of salt all because she was focusing on her past life and all she had lost. You must leave the past in the past, good or bad; you can never retrieve all you had so reframe from focusing on the past. Focus on your future and all that you can achieve if you do not quit. Remind yourself that your dreams are still there waiting for you to achieve. Put all your energy into working on succeeding.
Forgive yourself for past mistakes
All too often we hang on to our failures and use them to torture and torment ourselves all throughout our lives. Forgive all those who have hurt you and caused you pain. Forgiving does more for you than it does for the person. Letting go will allow you to be free to be yourself and to move on so you can achieve your goals. Most of all forgive yourself for allowing others to hurt you. You must also forgive yourself your mistakes as well. Remind yourself that everybody errs, and that includes you. Learn from those mistakes and move on.
Take time out to enjoy life
It doesn't matter where you are in your life you must make every effort to enjoy the process. You will never retrieve the time you have wasted being angry and frustrated so do enjoy your life. If you do not take the time to enjoy your life while working on your goals, then you will not be able to enjoy it after you have achieved all that you need. You will not then know how. Do things that make you happy and to remind you how much you have to be happy and grateful for.
It doesn't matter where you are in life your age is never the reason to put your dreams aside. The older you get, the more mature and sure you are of yourself and what you want to do. That alone should propel you to go after your dreams. Also, you would have finished raising the children and now have all the time to focus on you. You also would have gone through some very difficult times that have made you stronger more self-assured and confident to tackle anything life has to offer.

All know the balconies are to protect the safety of the family, because many of the balconies are open-air, if not installed railing, then it is easy to cause dangerous accidents.
We must pay attention to the use of this time, so as to ensure that people will not bring insecurity factors, so very important, but want to ensure that the balcony railing has a good protective effect, we need to install the time Pay attention to a lot of things.
1. The overall strength of the railing armrest is not enough, hand-shaking armrest has a sense of trembling. Solution: the choice of pipe wall is too thin, wall railing to the overall strength is insufficient, should use wall thickness greater than or equal to 1.2 mm pipe to do handrails. Diameter can not be too small, when the armrest straight section length is longer, the column design should be lateral stabilization measures.
2. Stainless steel railing do not pass the handcuffs. Solution: processing technology is not high. Should be used professional factory production of right angle elbow, non-standard angle elbow, according to the construction of detailed plans for processing, processing plants should have dedicated production equipment The
3. Welds at the weld wall is polished, the degree of polishing is not enough. Surface scratches, pits. Solution: improper product protection, in the cross-operation by the object collision, scratched should be reasonable arrangements for the construction process, The installation is carried out at a later stage to protect and isolate the finished handrails to prevent foreign objects from colliding and scratches.
4. Round arc-shaped handrail arc is not smooth, with demolition. Solution: the choice of pipe wall thickness is too thin, in the processing of elbow prone to concave, and the tube is not round, Liner, so that after welding the weld, it is easy to bulge the end of the wall of the wall, should use the appropriate thickness of the pipe, the best welding when the lining liner.
5. The surface brightness of the pipe is not enough, the color is dark and the surface color of the titanium pipe is large. Solution: Choose the qualified pipe. The different grades of pipe have different elements, even in the same factory, Therefore, we should pay attention to the selection of the same category and grades of stainless steel tube, and should strengthen the titanium quality management process.
6. There is a gap in the pipe connection. Solution: welding should be full of welding.
7. The column is not vertical, the arrangement is not the same line, shaking is not strong. Solution: the ball is not allowed, improper installation method. Construction must be precise line, first with the level of both ends of the reference column and fixed, The column should be fixed by the column positioning of the column should be strengthened before the inspection of embedded parts and found that the problem should be reinforced rods should be fixed to prevent the fixed column base expansion tube bolts too short, or under the stone cement mortar The quality of each construction process should be strengthened in order to correct the quality problems in a timely manner.

I describe myself as a multi-modal artist and creative catalyst. By any medium necessary best describes my process. I work among disciplines and media, often at a nexus of art and technology, science and architecture. These seemingly divergent perspectives converge in my practice of art as a socially engaged mode of tuning our attention to common occurrences in everyday places. My work invites people to participate as choreographers of their experience of art. Informed by contemporary views of nature, technology, and community, I explore the subtle ways that we express empathy with one another, with other life forms, with sensing objects, and with responsive environments. My approach repositions a view of contemplation that is generally perceived of as solitary and removed from the flow of life into one that sparks a sense connection and community. By necessity and passion I initiate and participate in many forms of interdisciplinary collaboration. I have had the good fortune to work with inspiring collaborators including: architects, composers, city planners, neighborhood residents, musicians, anthropologists, engineers, dancers, children, and biologists. I choose to work with diverse groups of people, emerging technologies, my hands, and my imagination. A creative and inclusive thinker, I focus on the personal as well as the collective, the ecology of the part and the whole. I am confident in my ability to translate ideas into experiences and enjoy the process of encountering new questions, being introduced to new perspectives, and learning how to do things that I do not yet know how to do.

- Business sentiment in India weakest since 2014
- India ranks 6th on the optimism index in Q1 2018
- Ranked 9th in exports expectations
While entering the last year of the current regime, the business optimism in India has deteriorated with the country ranking 6th globally on the optimism index in the first quarter of 2018, says Grant Thornton's International Business Report (IBR), a quarterly global business survey. India has been topping the chart since the new government came into power in 2014 (refer to the graph). However, the confidence has shaken since Q3 2017 with weakening currency and a surge in oil prices (Q3 – 7th, Q4 -5th 2017). In contrast, globally, the business optimism is at an all-time high. The IBR finds that in Q1 2018, global business optimism stands at net 61 per cent - the highest figure recorded in 15 years of research.
The scale and the report are prepared based on the results of a quarterly global business survey of 2,500 businesses in 37 economies.
Vishesh C Chandiok, CEO, Grant Thornton India LLP said:
"The reversal in sentiment amongst mid- sized business in India in the last 3 quarters is startling and I hope policy makers will sit up and take note. With oil climbing, and India firmly in an election year, we ought to brace for a volatile economic environment in the days ahead. Export oriented businesses should see better days, finally."
The underlying pessimism is reflected in other parameters as well including revenue, selling prices, profitability, employment and exports expectations. Revenue expectations have been slipping from top position in Q2 2017 to 8th in Q3 and 14th in Q4. India's ranking on expectation for higher selling prices has been dipping from Q1 2017 when the country ranked 6th on the global rankings and by Q4 of the year, India slipped to 22nd position. The country is at 7th position in Q1 2018 with 51 per cent respondents showing positivity for an increase in selling prices. Employment expectations also dropped to 15th position in Q4 2017 and ranked 6th in Q1 2018. India's profitability expectations ranking has dropped to 7th position in Q3 2017 and 24th in Q4 2017. Even in the Q1 2018 ranking, the country stands at 13th position on this parameter. As far as exports expectation is concerned, India ranked 11th in Q4 2015, 18th in Q4 2017 and 9th in Q1 2018.
While Indian businesses have shown interest in investing in new buildings over the last couple of years, they haven't given much impetus to investment in plant and machinery. India was most optimistic about investment in plant and machinery in Q1 2015 where the country was at 3rd position and lowest in the last quarter and Q1 2018 (31st and 30th position, respectively). When it comes to investment in Research & Development, India's ranking has been in the range of 5-6th position since 2014. However, this parameter witnessed a drastic fall in Q4 2017 and Q1 2018 sinking to 24th position.
Indian businesses have been citing regulations and red tape, availability of skilled workforce, lack of ICT infrastructure and shortage of finance as the biggest growth constraints. Even after India's significant jump in World Bank's Ease of Doing Business ranking, the country still continues to rank 1st or 2nd in quoting these reasons as the key hurdles for growth.
Commenting on the global optimism being at an all-time high, Francesca Lagerberg, Global Leader Network Development at Grant Thornton, said:
"Businesses report healthy and widespread levels of optimism. This is a welcome indication that the global economic recovery is finally broad based. We haven't seen such high optimism levels for some time, not least in Spain, Italy and Greece. Why is business optimism so high? A likely factor is that globally; the economic fundamentals are strong. The strongest they have been since the financial crisis. GDP growth in most regions is growing. We are seeing a broad-based and inclusive spell of economic growth across markets."

When you apply for tenancy in an apartment, the prospective landlord will generally perform a credit check to ensure you are financially qualified to assume a lease and that you will be a high-quality tenant without negative marks on your credit score. To perform this credit check, many landlords request the Social Security numbers of prospective tenants. While you have the right to refuse to furnish it, disclosing your Social Security number to a landlord will facilitate a faster credit check and decision on your application.
Communicate your reluctance and unease about disclosing your Social Security number to the landlord. Explain your concerns about identity theft and tell the landlord that you avoid disclosing your Social Security number whenever possible.
Ask the landlord if there are other options for applying for the rental unit that do not involve disclosing your Social Security number. You may be able to furnish a copy of your credit report in lieu of disclosing your Social Security number.
Write your Social Security number on the application if there are no other options. Ask the landlord if it is possible to black out your Social Security number after completing the credit check to avoid any situations where your number could fall into nefarious hands. If your application is denied, request your application back and then shred it yourself to avoid possible future identify-theft situations.
- You have the right to refuse to disclose your Social Security Number to a prospective landlord; the landlord has the right to refuse to accept your application without a Social Security number.

(please read the following with a sense of humor!!!)
You know how ten minutes prior to eating the entire bag of potato chips it seems like a good idea? Or two minutes prior to inhaling your Big Mac Combo meal- you feel weak in the knees and ravenous because you think it is going to taste SO GOOD. This, my friends, is me- every night prior to a possible delay/cancellation which might bring about a storm day. It just seems like it will be a sweet slice of heaven. A day full of joy and goodwill, marshmallows and cupcakes.
BUT PEOPLE- storm days are a trick. A ploy. And I think they just might be God's gentle way of reminding us why real-life and routine and everyday hustle and bustle are really not that bad. Please bear in mind that I would LOVE storm days if I was stormed inside my house with four children wired with remote control silencers. Or if I was home by myself and my dear offspring, by some stroke of luck, were at storm-day school. Would absolutely LOVE them. But as I am not home alone and the children have no "off-button", here are TEN ways storm days reduce me to a burned-out pile of frazzled nerves. Bear in mind, this is all in good fun people. If a storm were predicted for next week, I would probably again feel like a five-year old child waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve.
10. Houses in storms are like hamster cages. I have such pity for my furry little rodent friends after having gone through a storm day. But then again, who is worse off? Hamsters just get to sit there- eat, do their business and sleep. Not so for mothers. And we don't even have a wheel to pretend we are going somewhere.
9. People still think they have to eat. What is with that? And they think about food a lot. Probably more than they would think about it otherwise- like on a day with nary a snowflake in the sky.
8. Since everyone is holed up together, the odds are things are not going to be smooth sailing. This is the understatement of the century. I will not let on that I had two nervous breakdowns today. I won't mention that part. I will just let you believe that I was slightly cranky. And that's enough 'bout that.
7. When things are seemingly going swimmingly, someone will inevitably find something to say/do to someone else that will cause a World War to erupt. Which is to say, we will no longer be playing "Who-noo" in this family.
6. You never quite get done what you thought you would get done- too many expectations and sadly too many mouths to feed/lost items to retrieve/jobs to do/laundry to fold/toilets to wipe.
5. Sadly, you never actually sit down and read that book you said you were going to read. (a.k.a. laundry/toilets)
4. You do end up getting yourself into a project that causes the house to look like an avalanche hit it- something you won't be able to rectify until it is far too late in the day. And by that time, you don't care anymore.
3. Your children- who were so delightful when the radio announcements were made early on in the day aren't quite so cute and charming and sweet as you first found them. At least they are not from about 4:00 p.m. on.
2. But then again. While the evening prior you had the grace and patience of an angel, by 8:00 p.m. on the eve of a storm night, you become a cross between Godzilla and the Wicked Witch of the West. Which is putting it rather nicely.
1. Storm days, while nice, are like candy- too much of a good thing can give you a pain in the gut. And that again is the nicest, sweetest possible way of putting it.
Here's to regular Fridays!! Have a great evening everyone!!

Evangeline tries to chase Nomes out of Jenny Jump's chimney.
|Emerald City
|First Appearance
|The Wonder City of Oz
Evangeline, or Evan and Geline, was a purple or pink dragonette with two heads. She was an inhabitant of the Emerald City where she helped the people in whatever way she could. She was also fond of playing games with Sir Hokus of Pokes, who loved to chase her.
- In her first appearance, she was described as purple, but in later books was pink.
One day, while being chased by Sir Hokus, the two of them stopped to help chase two Nomes, Umph and Grumph, out of Jenny Jump's style shop. (The Wonder City of Oz)
She was present at the celebration at Glinda's palace when the Scalawagons were unveiled and given to the Oz people. (The Scalawagons of Oz)
Evangeline at one point had developed a cough, and Oz Cream was the only thing that could help. She frequented an Oz Cream shop, and there was danger there might not be enough Oz Cream for her and everyone else, until Number Nine brought two more cans of infinitely refilling Oz Cream, courtesy of the Wizard of Oz.
Evangeline later assisted Sir Hokus in painting a historical scene on the walls of the Emerald City, when Ozma had commissioned such paintings from everyone. (Lucky Bucky in Oz)
In her first appearance, she is only identified as a Dragonette, but by John R. Neill's second book, she had been given a name and expanded upon. In fact, in the first book, it seems Neill intended there to be multiple dragonettes in the Emerald City, though he never explicitely states this. But one of the illustrations has two two-headed dragonettes in different places. Nonetheless, Evangeline seems to be the one described in Wonder City, as she has the same personality and friendship with Sir Hokus.
Whether Evangeline should be considered one or two people is also debatable. She is generally thought of as one person, but occasionally one of her heads is addressed independently of the other, as Evan or Geline.

Michigan Statewide Airport Community Benefit Assessment (2013)
Economic Development Research Group and Mead & Hunt, for Michigan DOT, 2003
Economic Development Research Group developed a new statewide database system for evaluating the economic impact and community benefits for airports across the State of Michigan. The CBA-II (Community Benefit Assessment) software system was developed so that state DOT staff could update and maintain their own database and consistent analysis framework for assessing the economic impacts of airports across the state.
The system was designed to demonstrate the importance of individual airports to their host communities as well as to the overall economic impact of the entire statewide airport system across the state. Staff of Mead and Hunt then worked with staff of EDR Group to design, distriubute and collect survey information from airport tenants and employees, airport tenants and passengers, and surrounding regional businesses. All of this information was then used with the CBA-II software to assess the economic impacts of individual airports.

Is it okay to call them socialists yet? (/sarc)
And to think we were "only" worried about having a known Tax Cheat overseeing everyone's taxes.
With Barney Frank's help, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is trying to expand his power (and by inference that of his Dear Leader boss) well beyond that. The "Pay for Performance Act," which has already gotten out of committee, would give him veto power over salaries at every company into which the government has inserted its intrusive claws.
Besides the utter outrageousness of the news itself, the story leads to the question of how the establishment media will handle it. Whitewash it? Minimize its significance? Ignore it? Given the fact that the news is over a week old, I vote for a continuation of Door Number Three.
Byron York reports the following in the DC Examiner:
Beyond AIG: A Bill to let Big Government Set Your Salary
..... in a little-noticed move, the House Financial Services Committee, led by chairman Barney Frank, has approved a measure that would, in some key ways, go beyond the most draconian features of the original AIG bill. The new legislation, the "Pay for Performance Act of 2009," would impose government controls on the pay of all employees -- not just top executives -- of companies that have received a capital investment from the U.S. government. It would, like the tax measure, be retroactive, changing the terms of compensation agreements already in place. And it would give Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner extraordinary power to determine the pay of thousands of employees of American companies.
The purpose of the legislation is to "prohibit unreasonable and excessive compensation and compensation not based on performance standards," according to the bill's language. That includes regular pay, bonuses -- everything -- paid to employees of companies in whom the government has a capital stake, including those that have received funds through the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP, as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The measure is not limited just to those firms that received the largest sums of money, or just to the top 25 or 50 executives of those companies. It applies to all employees of all companies involved, for as long as the government is invested. And it would not only apply going forward, but also retroactively to existing contracts and pay arrangements of institutions that have already received funds.
In addition, the bill gives Geithner the authority to decide what pay is "unreasonable" or "excessive." And it directs the Treasury Department to come up with a method to evaluate "the performance of the individual executive or employee to whom the payment relates."
The bill passed the Financial Services Committee last week, 38 to 22, on a nearly party-line vote. (All Democrats voted for it, and all Republicans, with the exception of Reps. Ed Royce of California and Walter Jones of North Carolina, voted against it.)
Geez, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to extend Geithner's reach to:
- Any company with a Small Business Administration loan.
- Any university with students who have borrowed money from the government to attend (i.e., almost every institution of higher learning in the US).
- Any company whose employees use government services (i.e., an interstate highway or a subsidized mass-transit ride) to get to work.
That is, it's not a very far trip to controlling everyone's earnings.
Well, at least the self-employed won't be affected .... Don't count on that either. Tax Cheat Tim will probably want to control hourly rates and prices paid to vendors.
