Here's a fascinating interview with Annie Sellick, who will be at the Legs on Thursday, February 27. Thanks to Casey Phillips and Chattanooga Times Free Press. Follow this link, or read on below.
When Annie Sellick talks about why she sings swing jazz music, pretty much the only thing that can trip her up is searching for the right word to express her enthusiasm for the genre.
"It really compelled me. It made me feel like I was going for a ride," she says. "I love to swing; it's like having wings.
"When I've got a band behind me that has a great groove, I have a great time. I want everyone to feel how good it feels. It's really comfortable for me. It's in my skin."
Sellick grew up in a house where her mother listened to Motown and her father was a bluegrass aficionado, but as a student at Middle Tennessee State University in 1996, she heard jazz guitarist Roland Gresham at a dive bar. Despite knowing only a pair of standards, "Fever" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," she sat in with him and was hired on the spot.
Desperate to bolster her repertoire early on, she asked friends for suggestions of other vocalists to listen to, took her notes home and dove into the jazz deep end. She worked her way through the usual suspects — Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan — but Anita O'Day stopped her in her tracks.
"Anita O'Day was like The Beatles were for my mother," she says. "I freaked out over her because of her rhythmic sense and because she didn't take herself too seriously. She had a good time up there."
Enjoying her time behind the mike has defined Sellick's 18-year vocal career, whether she's singing straight jazz on her own, supporting luminaries such as Tommy Emmanuel and Mark O'Connor or fronting the swing jazz ensemble the Hot Club of Nashville.
The latter group, which Sellick joined in 2003, will perform at Barking Legs Theater tonight, Feb. 27. The Hot Club is led by British guitar virtuoso Richard Smith, who is a frequent performer at Barking Legs and a National Fingerstyle Guitar Champion.
The set will combine a handful of swing standards with a wealth of original material written by Nashville songsmith Tom Sturdevant, whose work Sellick describes as sounding "like it came from 1933 … charming … with characters you adore."
Tonight, she says, the fun should be experienced in equal measure on and off the stage.
"It's a great band. Everyone has strengths, and we try to communicate as well as a cohesive unit," she says. "When the music is high-energy … it's infectious.
"We want to make people feel happy, to feel a part of it and to feel the happiness and joy that we feel as we're making it."

Overall Review: highly recommended. awesome price and specs
Plays games really well, Ultra/High settings
Super Slim!
Great looking computer
Only one RAM and Hard drive slot.
Loud Fans, but not too annoying
Not the easiest to upgrade parts, lots of screws (T5)/ribbon cables that must be handled carefully.
512 GB HDD is not enough/ get yourself 1 or 2 TB.
Overall Review: I would recommend this Laptop to anyone that needs an ultra slim gaming computer but will be ok without being able to do any significant upgrades. For 1899.00 you really can't find another computer with RTX 2080. Although the newer models contain RTX2070 Super which are probably a little better than the 2080 MAX-Q. This is the best "budget" RTX2080 that I found at the time. Just be sure to add at least a TB M.2 HHD to the cart as well, Warzone is sitting just above 200GB so the stock HHD will fill up fast.
much nicer size than 14"
and a GREAT graphics card = metro 2033 highest settings, flawless
looks fantastic
matte surface, no finger prints
a bit hot on bottom but cpu and gpu temps <70C even running hottest games
ok I do miss a 10 key numpad
Overall Review: definitely high recommendation, would buy again
The 2080 makes running any demanding title buttery smooth. Running games like the Witcher 3, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Call of Duty, and many more at well over 100fps. (Doom Eternal never dipped below 144).
The design is sleek and comfortable.
The keys are remarkably satisfying. I find myself typing for hours and enjoying the keyboard more and more, despite the odd location.
You'd think the trackpad would be uncomfortable, but I now prefer it over a regularly centered trackpad.
Fans can get loud (just wear headphones).
Go buy a portable ssd or hdd.
Overall Review:
5/5. Powerful little machine.
Its not pretending its something that it isn't. Wear headphones, grab a portable ssd for your games, and enjoy the Ray-Tracing.
Pros: Speedy. Asus fixed buggy apps and services.
Cons: None. Just get a little hot for really prolonged time of usage.
Overall Review: 2 months owning this laptop and the GPU fan starts rattling at low speeds. sounds like something is grinding inside. Got 2 bad ASUS laptops in a row now, this will be the last.
Overall Review:
I bought this laptop for gaming, and it has a very nice clear display with thin bevels on the sides. I have not used the optional mounted camera yet, I actually am very happy it didn't come built in, but I will always have the option to set it up.
The sound quality and loudness was the biggest surprise, as I didn't really hear or read about how good it was.
Other reviews did make me aware of the heating issue when gaming, it does run very hot. I had a 17 inch cooling pad already, which keeps the laptop relatively cool. The few days I didn't have the cooling pad I did get worried about overheating and set my games to standard settings. A cooling pad is a must.
This was very easy setup, no complaints.
The battery life isn't something I have tested or intend to test, I don't honestly know why you would try to game on this computer without it being plugged in. Don't take this to a coffee shop or on the bus, that is not what this machine is meant for, not to mention drawing attention to your expensive laptop in public isn't smart.
Of course traveling with this computer is a joy, just have a large backpack with space to fit your cooling pad in as well and always expect to keep it plugged in.
144Hz Refresh speed always helps in FPS's
Plenty of RGB like its Christmas!
Ease of use
Touch pad for your num keys is pretty sweet
Intense Speed of applications
Beautiful GFX Quality
If you're going on a hardcore gaming session such as 5+ hours it tends to get hot, so just buy an aftermarket cooler with fans and you'll be good!
One other thing which is only a tiny problem would be if you hold down a key for a split second too long it will start typing out that letter or number multiple times in a row, at least 10 other than that she's a beaut!
Overall Review:
I would recommend this to gamers on the go and those that are stationary as well!
Easily can be used for student software as well, which I do and then take a break by gaming!

Growing up as a child in the 80s and early 90s, the legendary figure of Sinbad the Sailor, was something of a hero of mine. I don't remember at what age I first saw a Sinbad film, but it must have been young enough, because when I was freshly 6 years old, I got my first dog, a fluffy white terrier mix that I named Sinbad. Clearly, the character was in my kindergarten age consciousness enough, that I chose that name, and was aware who the mythical sailor was.
I'm going to venture a guess, that the first Sinbad movie I ever saw, was not one of Ray Harryhausen's masterpieces. Instead, it was probably a film that I'll get to in a few moments. To start with, of course, the stories of Sinbad, for the unfamiliar, originated as late entries into the infamous "1001 Arabian Nights" story collection. The same collection that characters such as Aladdin, and Ali Baba came from. If you actually look at the old stories, much like actually looking at the stories of Greek heroes like Jason, Heracles or Perseus, you'll see a character who looks far less virtuous and heroic than what we know and think of in modern media. Let's just say that I'm glad I didn't read his stories as a kid, for I likely wouldn't have been nearly as big a fan of him.
|Animation innovator Ub Iwerks' take on the character.
|Fellow innovator Max Fleischer's unique, villainous take.
The first two depictions of Sinbad on film, were actually cartoons. The first, produced by Ub Iwerks studio after he had (temporarily) parted ways with Walt Disney, was a 1935 theatrical short, which featured the typical "Disney-like" whimsy that Iwerks brought to his productions. A year later, Disney's primary competitor on the theatrical short front, Fleischer Studios, led by brothers Max and Dave Fleischer, released their own, more unique take on the character. Max Fleischer had been an innovator on the animation scene, pioneering advanced techniques like Multi-Plane and Rotoscoping. With his biggest success of the time, predating his great Superman cartoons, Popeye (along with Betty Boop and others), he was giving Disney a run for his money. And when he saw that Disney was preparing a feature-length animated film, something risky and unheard of at the time, he saw that his own dream of an animated feature was possible.
So he took his top star, Popeye the Sailor, and set him up against his rival, Bluto, playing the part of a more vain, villainous take on Sinbad the Sailor. A duel, if you will, of which great sailor was better. The 1936 Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor, was a double-reel cartoon, clocking in at about sixteen and a half minutes. Fleischer would continue to use Popeye in other short films, where he would continue to experiment and up the ante, in stories based on Ali Baba and Aladdin, working his way towards his 1939 feature release, Gulliver's Travels. Of the three extended Popeye "specials", however, the original Sinbad one was and remains the most popular. Personally, what stands out in the Sinbad Popeye cartoon, aside from the usual humor, was Bluto's great turn as a boastful, bully Sinbad, and his island of various animals and monsters. The one thing the two very different Sinbad cartoons had in common, was the giant mythical monster bird known as Roc, said to be big enough to carry off elephants in its claws. The Roc featured in one or more of the original Sinbad stories, and would be important in a certain future film.
|The first live action Sinbad.
Sinbad would first see representation in a live action film, in the more comical 1942 Arabian Nights, from Universal Studios. There, he was played by Shemp Howard of Three Stooges fame, of all people, and was more of a minor character. His first, true debut to feature movies, was in the 1947 RKO film, appropriately titled Sinbad the Sailor. Starring dashing Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in the titular role, with Maureen O'Hara as the beautiful Shireen, this story is much tamer than the later Sinbad adventures. The plot focuses on Sinbad learning of the treasures of Alexander the Great, and his adventures trying to find them. There is little to no real magic or supernatural happenings in this film, which makes it lesser in my eyes (and many other fans', most likely). But it's still a solid film for what it is, and Fairbanks makes a good Sinbad. A few years later, in 1955, RKO released another movie entitled Son of Sinbad, which featured western cowboy star Dale Robertson in the role of the legend's alleged son. It too featured no real magic or epicness. I wouldn't see either movie until my adult years anyway, which is just as well.
|Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!
While it came it several years later than the movie we're here today to discuss, the first Sinbad movie I probably saw as a child, on TV, was 1963's Captain Sindbad. I'm not entirely sure about the alternate spelling of the name, perhaps they just wanted to be different. But all the same, THIS was the kind of Sinbad tale the character deserved. While it lacks, and seriously could have benefited from stop-motion magic like Harryhausen's, this MGM production is still packed with all of the magic, and wonder, and adventure you could want in such a fantasy feature. Starring Guy Williams as "Sindbad", the tale includes threats such as an arena battle with an invisible monster, a deadly Hydra, and a magically guarded tower. I think this film deserves its own article someday, but for now, it's enough to say that it is likely this that left the impression on me as a child, and inspired me to name my dog after the hero.
|The cover of my VHS copy.
As I've explained in previous articles, my love of both Godzilla and Harryhausen films, really both exploded thanks to our finally getting a VCR player around 1989/90 or so. Just as Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster was likely the first of his films that I got to own, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad was definitely the first (and only) Sinbad movie I owned in my childhood. I would get to see Captain Sindbad again on TV somewhere around this time, and I would see Harryhausen's two other Sinbad greats (The Golden Voyage and Eye of the Tiger), along with his others epics like Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans, thanks to my childhood obsession, TNT's MonsterVision.
But while I love all of those movies dearly, both in equals parts because of childhood nostalgia, but also because it's a truly great and wonderful film, 7th Voyage to this day is still my favorite Sinbad film, and live action fantasy film in general.
|The film's two starring heroes.
Ray Harryhausen had, up until this film, pretty much exclusively done science fiction movies, including standouts The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms and Earth vs. The Flying Saucers. He started teaming with producer Charles H. Schneer on the 1955 monster film It Came From Beneath the Sea, and they began regularly teaming from then on. So it was Schneer who helped bring about this first true fantasy epic Sinbad tale to the screen. Nathan Juran, who had worked with the pair on their previous project 20 Million Miles to Earth, was hired to direct, while composer Bernard Herrman, who had done great work with Alfred Hitchcock, and would go on to score other Harryhausen films like Mysterious Island and Jason and the Argonauts, would bring the action to life with fantastic music.
To play the titular hero, they cast actor Kerwin Matthews, in his first starring role. They cast the young Kathryn Grant as Princess Parisa, Sinbad's love, and Torin Thatcher, in a marvelous turn as the mysterious magician Sokurah. As the Genie of the magic lamp, they cast child actor Richard Eyer, who had previously starred in the only other film to feature the great Robbie the Robot (of Forbidden Planet fame), 1957's The Invisible Boy. All told, the cast, the music, the production, the locals and sets, and of course Ray's stop-motions magic, were all on point. The film released in 1958, becoming a financial success that would not only boost Ray Harryhausen's career, but also help lead to something of a surge in fantasy films.
|Sinbad, and tiny Parisa.
The core of the plot, sees Captain Sinbad and his crew, caught in a storm, which has blown them far off course. They are trying to reach Baghdad with the Princess Parisa on time for their wedding, which will also help avert a war with her country of Chandra. The storm blows them off the shore of mysterious Colossa Island, where they disembark to gather food and fresh water. Unfortunately for them, they run afoul of a giant Cyclops, who is chasing an enigmatic magician called Sokurah, for he has stolen from them the prized and powerful magic lamp. He uses the lamp to create a barrier between Sinbad's men and the Cyclops, to aid both their and his own escape, but the Cyclops has other ideas, hurling a great boulder over the barrier, capsizing their rowboat, and causing Sokurah to drop the lamp into the sea, which the Cyclops then retrieves.
Beside himself with grief, the sorcerer is obsessed with getting that lamp back, as the genie's power is immense. To that end, he offers Sinbad a bag full of precious gems, worth a fortune, stating there is many times that treasure hidden by the Cyclops back on his island. But Sinbad refuses to turn the ship around, knowing they are already running late for he and Parisa's wedding. The wedding is set to take place, but Sokurah, unable to convince the Caliph of Baghdad to grant him an expedition back to his island, casts dark magic to make Parisa shrink to the size of a living doll. This causes her blustering father to declare war on Baghdad, and Sinbad manages to convince the exiled magician to stay and help them return Parisa to her rightful state, not knowing it was Sokurah who has caused it.
|The monstrous bird, Roc.
Naturally, the last ingredient for the potion to cure her, happens to be the shell of a Roc egg, which can only be found, you guessed it, on Sokurah's island of Colossa. With Sinbad's old crew mostly refusing to go back to that accursed place, Sinbad is forced to recruit criminals from Baghdad's prison, offering them freedom in return for making the voyage. Many agree to go, but as the voyage nears its destination, they try to mutiny, only failing because of a nearby island, whose demons' wails drive men mad, and drive their ships to smash on jagged rocks. Sinbad and company are freed to save the ship, and within little time, they are back on Colossa, gigantic crossbow in tow, to help them fend off any Cyclops.
|The genie, Barani.
Not to give away too much of the plot, you could probably guess that when Sinbad's dwindling crew manage to secure a piece of Roc's eggshell, that bastard Sokurah snatches Parisa, in a bid to force Sinbad to come to his hidden castle and give him his precious lamp. Before this, however, Parisa had braved to venture inside the lamp itself, meeting the genie, who looks like a little boy. He is a slave to the lamp, though there is a prophecy inscribed which states he could possibly be freed some day. Parisa promises to try and free him, if he'll teach her the words to summon his aid, which she in turn taught to Sinbad. It is thus with the Genie's help, that Sinbad finds Sokurah's castle, and rushes to the final confrontation.
One thing that stands out about this film, to people who follow mythology and folklore, is that Harryhausen took some liberties with a couple of the film's primary monsters, namely the Roc bird and the Cyclops. He chose to give the Roc two heads, both the hatchling they run across and the angry parent, perhaps to make it more imposing. Though if you ask me, a ginormous bird with one head would be pretty terrifying. And for the Cyclops, he altered their Greek myth form, of essentially just being gigantic one-eyed people, to instead being more inhuman, satyr-like beings with cloven hooves, and a horn crowning their heads. Departure or not, I love his version of the Cyclops, and I think it is one of the single most iconic movie monsters of all time.
|One of Ray's gorgeous concept drawings.
|From concept to reality.
Additionally, while not AS iconic in most fans' minds as the infamous skeleton fight in Jason and the Argonauts, which came five years later, 7th Voyage features a duel with a single animated skeleton warrior, seen above, which would serve as Ray's prototype for the later, more ambitious scene. Still, nothing like this fight between Sinbad and the Skeleton had ever really been done before, and Kerwin Matthews had to train with a fencing master, to the point of getting down dance-like timing, to be able to act as if he were fighting an opponent who was not truly there. This was, of course, decades before such things would be attempted with the aid of computer graphics. Not only did Matthews have to get all of his movements precisely correct, but Ray had to match the skeleton's movements up precisely as well. The final product, is one of the coolest scenes in movie history, which still looks great and stands up to this day.
|That sly devil, Sokurah.
To me, as a child, I was absolutely entranced by this movie, just as much in '89/'90 as I'm sure kids/people were when it originally released in 1958. That's not only a testament to how good Harryhausen's special effects were, but also a testament to how good the movie in general is. Trust me, I have seen some movies with cool stop-motion effects, which as MOVIES go, are garbage. But to my mind, everything about 7th Voyage stands out. The pacing and cinematography are on point, the casting and acting are great, and the story itself, while simple and fairy-tale-like, is also just really entertaining. And it needs to be said that Bernard Herrman's magical score fits the mood of every scene perfectly. From the very opening of the Columbia logo, the main theme of the film kicks in and really grabs you, holding on throughout. Scenes such as the magic snake dance in Baghdad, feature such wonderfully imaginative and fitting musical flourishes and refrains, and the score never feels off or out of place. Like a good movie score should, it helps tell the story as much as the visuals and acting do.
|Perhaps the most iconic scene of the film.
Of course, while I loved the entire film and watched it a ton as a kid, at that age, the part that naturally stood out the most to me, "monster kid" that I was, were the monsters themselves. And the climactic battle between a Cyclops and Sokurah's protective dragon, was the main event! I liked, and still like, the Cyclops. But even as a child, I've always had a thing for dragons, which perhaps led to my love of dinosaurs, and Godzilla, etc. One of my favorite childhood films, even though it was goofy, was the original Pete's Dragon, with me of course wishing I had a dragon friend like him. So it probably goes without saying then, that I rooted for the dragon in this fight.
Within the next couple of years of my young life, as TNT started their marathons, and other stations played late-night monster movies as well, as I said before, I was able to see Captain Sindbad again, and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, and Sinbad and the Tiger's Eye. But while I think those are all excellent films, and I love them all a lot, to my mind, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is still the best of the lot. As awesome as Tom Baker and Margaret Whiting are as Koura and Zenobia, or even Pedro Armenderiz as the vile El Kharim in "Sindbad", to me Torin Thatcher as Sokurah is the perfect villain. He may not even be as purely evil as those others, but his obsession with power and specifically with owning the magic lamp, push him to deliciously dastardly ends.
|The Princess saving the day.
Or, for example, while the other Sinbad movies feature some genuinely gorgeous, and even cool leading ladies, for my money, Princess Parisa rocks. Not only was she beautiful, but she wasn't your typical damsel in distress. When she is shrunken to tiny size, and her whole world is ruined and her father flies off into a warmongering rage, she doesn't freak out or cry, she keeps her cool and even comforts a mourning Sinbad. And twice during the tale, it is she, using her size to their advantage, who displays great courage and resourcefulness, saving Sinbad and his crew from a cage, and later braving the magical unknown to try talking to the Genie of the lamp. She is also incredibly honorable, as even though they could use the Genie's magic late in the story, she remains steadfast in her promise to try and free him instead.
For that matter, as much as I love ALL of Harryhausen's monsters, especially the ones from the Sinbad films, none of them are AS classy or as classic to me, as the Roc, and the Cyclops, and the Dragon. And while I think that all of those Sinbad actors, from Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in the 40s, to Guy Williams, John Phillip Law, and Patrick Wayne (son of John Wayne), are good and they all owned the role in their own way, they ALL made good Sinbads. I would still argue that Kerwin Matthews was the best in the role, and at the very least, he's my personal favorite Sinbad, and always will be.
|Ray and his babies.
While in many ways, the later two Harryhausen Sinbad epics, both of which feature a Doctor Who (Golden has Tom Baker and Tiger has Patrick Troughton), are even more elaborate and epic films with arguably superior effects work, 7th Voyage still stands above them as the most charming, whimsical, and complete of Ray's unofficial "Sinbad Trilogy". And while a majority of film fans and historians seem to agree that Jason and the Argonauts is Ray's greatest work, and I myself call 1981's Clash of the Titans, sadly his final feature film, to be his magnum opus, his masterpiece. I would still ultimately say that to ME, for my money, in my heart of hearts, 7th Voyage is his best overall film. And again, at the very least, it is MY personal favorite Harryhausen movie.
It actually stands the test of time in my Top 5 Favorite Films ever, which have fluctuated in position a bit, even since I wrote that article talking about them. For one thing, Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal arguably belongs in my Top 5, instead of merely Top 10. If you were to ask me right now, while the movies themselves remain the same, the position for my Top 10 favorites of all time, would look more like this:
1. The Hobbit (1977)
2. The Dark Crystal (1982)
3. The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)
4. Young Frankenstein (1974)
5. Big Trouble in Little China (1985)
6. Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (1965)
7. Ghostbusters (1984)
8. Throw Mama From the Train (1987)
9. The Goonies (1985)
10. The 'Burbs (1989)
But 7th Voyage has, and will continue no matter what, to remain in my personal Top 5, even over a Godzilla film, for the rest of my life.
As I always seem to say, if you've never seen this film, or ANY Harryhausen movie for that matter, then please, do yourself, your kids, your pets, everyone a favor, and watch The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. It is, in a word, delightful. And if the word "wholesome" should ever be attached to any fantasy/adventure epic, this would be it as well. It is, I'm not afraid or ashamed to state, at least as far as I'm concerned, the best (live action at least) fantasy film ever crafted.
|THE master of movie magic and special effects, 1920-2013.

6 Things You Should Ask Before Getting Eyelash Extensions
Be informed before getting your eyelash extensions so you'll have the best experience and the best result possible. Here are some questions to ask your esthetician.
1. Where and when did you get your certification? It's so important to not only make sure the technician is licensed, but certified specifically in extensions. A technician is only as good as their education and length of practice!
2. What brand do you use? Ask if they use quality extensions and glue and if they also offer home-care products that will guarantee a better retention. Remember that this is an investment and you want them to last long and look as good as possible! The technician should fully back up their product line and believe in it.
3. What should I do once I get home? If they tell you, "Nothing! These are maintenance-free!," run away! A great Lash Artist will give you thorough instructions about what to do/not do when you get home and how to keep them clean and looking their best.
4. Can everyone get extensions? Unfortunately not everyone is a good candidate. Talk to your Lash Artist about your expectations, your natural eyelashes, and allergies. If you have severe allergies or your natural lashes are unhealthy or brittle, this service might not be for you. A trustworthy technician would never put you in a health-risk situation.
5. How much does it cost? There is a broad range for what extensions in your town cost and I believe it all comes down to skill level and quality. If you want cheap lashes, expect cheap workmanship and cheap extensions. You get what you pay for in this field. That brings me to my next question you should be asking.
6. How do you apply the extensions? This is a very important one and should be explained in full detail by the technician. Classic extensions should be applied one extension to one natural lash. If they are applying pre-made "knot-style" fans to multiple natural lashes, this can cause damage to the follicles and cause your natural lashes to not grow back healthy. Yikes! However, there are volume extensions made with handmade knot-free fans that are applied to one lash at a time - this is perfectly safe for healthy lashes. Just go back to question 1 and ask where they received their certification as this should be an additional expert level education class.

53rd National Congress of Turkish Anesthesiology and Reanimation Society
November 7, 2019 - November 10, 2019
Dear Colleagues;
The 53rd National Congress of Turkish Anesthesiology and Reanimation Association will be held between 7-10 November 2019 at Susesi Hotel and Ela Quality Hotel in Belek, Antalya. The word Ethos refers to the concept of ethics, which is the building block of philosophy in the settled human societies. Ethics has questioned the world of values since the ancient philosophers in which it first came to the fore. These values, which shape our relations with ourselves, each other, with other occupational groups, patients and their relatives, are the values that make us who we are and keep us together.
In this congress, we aim to discuss our new ethical problems in parallel with scientific developments as well as our previous ethical problems in anesthesiology and reanimation science. On the basis of these discussions, however, we hope to recall our ethical values that have persisted for thousands of years and remain unchanged.
In the scientific program of the Congress; In addition to enriching our knowledge with the participation of many well-known and respected scientists in their fields in international and national platforms, I foresee that we will find morale and store energy with a rich social program.
As members of the Anesthesiology and Reanimation family; in order to commemorate the Great Leader Atatürk on November 10th and to live in our congress environment which we all miss to search for ways to take our profession to the next level in the light of our ethical values in our branch of science; I invite you to Antalya between 7-10 November 2019.
Prof. Dr. Ömer KURTİPEK
Türk Anesteziyoloji ve Reanimasyon Derneği Başkanı

"The faith of Latina Women is faith like rice. It is spirit spoken; it is spirit sent; it is spirit sustained." – Inés Velásquez-McBryde October 12, 2019 at the Kalēo SDA Church in Arcadia, CA.
Stones of Remembrance
In the spirit of Joshua 4, I've gathered several encouraging messages that Inés has received over the last several days since graduating with her Master of Divinity degree from Fuller on Saturday, June 15, 2019. May we never forget all the Lord has done for us and how far he has brought us. As we […]
The Faith of the Canaanite Mother
Inés Velásquez-McBryde preached on the faith of the immigrant Canaanite mother in Matthew 15:21-28 who has something to teach us about prophetic resistance and prophetic hope.
The Faith of Mother Mary
In the time that we've been in California, Ines has had many opportunities to exercise her gifts of teaching and preaching. This weekend on Mother's Day she preached an incredibly intimate sermon at our church Fellowship Monrovia, and, as our Pastor Michael said in his introduction of her, she "preached the paint of the walls." […]
The Mother of Persistent Faith
On October 11, Ines preached at Fuller Chapel for Hispanic Heritage Month. Below you can listen to the bilingual sermon on the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:21–28, reflecting on oppressive sociopolitical wounds and a persistent faith that can "recalibrate our fears and our mercy." This audio is a recording from Fuller's All-Seminary chapel on October […]

Statistics evaluation on Sweden relative to other European countries and the US mainly focusing on Coronavirus death rates. Dr D explains why he thinks Sweden will be shown to have limited death when Covid 19 becomes a thing of the past.
Dr D makes the case for the "less-than-experienced' gun operators to consider an inexpensive CZ 82 as a home defense gun.
Dr D's Glock 19 with an AmeriGlo site got a bit tweaked in the safe. AmeriGlo replaced it at 3 years without even being asked to do so. An old fashioned warranty and entirely unexpected. Thanks!
Dr D pokes sarcasm at the Wound Care that we see in the movies...the stupidity of it at times. In one of the Rambo movies here, Rambo does some really stupid stuff to a wound about which Dr D spouts off. This kind of Wound Care would more than likely lead to injury or death, so Dr D is understandably bothered by it in a purist sense. Know any more movies with Wound Care Stuff that Dr D might bitch about? To the Comments section! :)
A simple two minute video on how a J Frame novice can improve his or her accuracy in shooting. Compares trigger excursion and force with that of a Glock 19.
A brief comparison of muzzle flash with several different powders between 38 Special and 357 Magnum cartridges in a Smith Model 60. Powders included were Titegroup, Hodgdon Universal, Winchester 231 and Be-86. This specifically limited to the short barrel revolver.
38 Special Titegroup 01:29 Win 231 01:34 Universal 01:39 Be-86 01:47
357 Magnum Titegroup 01:51
The second universal load (Hod Uni) was a very light 357 Magnum.
Dynamic Targets can be made quickly and cheaply for range shooting if you are tiring of shooting paper. :)
Choosing Guns and Ammunition is a pairing of sorts...Dr D talks about pairing practice and hollow point ammunition for the Short Barrel Revolver.
Dr D tests some primers from the 70's. Will they still work? Will they ruin Dr D's trusty Smith and Wesson revolver?
I bought a 500 round ".357 Premium Mix" projectiles from American Reloading which for a total of $45 shipped. I received a mix of jacketed and hollow point projectiles and provide a brief review of my experience. :)
Aluminum cases are supposedly not reloadable but technically is it possible? Dr D does some in 38 Special and talks about accuracy and durability.
Feeding an Airweight 38 special an accurate load can be difficult. I show you the SWC (semi-wadcutter bullet) with which I am quite accurate (show you some range targets) and the formula for their production.This was an early load in my reloading experience. I have put together quite a few more potent ones that I might share on an upcoming video.
[Cat Visit 0:09 ] [SWC Target Results 1:42 ] [My SWC Reload Data 2:26 ] [The SWC Projectile 3:05 ]
357 Magnum Snub Nose revolvers offer power as well as options for ammunition..namely 38 Special or .357 Magnum loads. What should you put in there and why? As far as I am concerned, you need to hit the target to be of any use.
The Smith and Wesson 642 J Frame Revolver is a reliable gun for close range self defense purposes. Some easy upgrades:
[ Grip Modification 0:48 ] [ Cheap Sight Improvement 2:47 ]
[ Ammunition 4:23 ] [Cleaning 6:12 ]

BIOL5301 Big Data, Modelling and Meta-analysis in Biology, Conservation and the Environment
- Credit
- 6 points
- Offering
(see Timetable)
Availability Location Mode Semester 2 UWA (Perth) Face to face
- Details for undergraduate courses
- Honours option in Zoology [Bachelor of Science (Honours)]
- Content
- Scientists of all types (e.g., biologists, ecologists, conservation scientists, environmental scientists and marine scientists) now generate or utilize large amounts of observational or derived data, for example GPS records, visual or electronic satellite signals, eDNA samples, organismal genomics, climate records, computer simulation outputs, literature search results, or data assembled by global data collection schemes such as those administered by the United Nations system. A wealth of data is now available, both via the peer-reviewed scientific literature and online databases, increasingly as open source resources. New knowledge and science can emerge from the consideration, harmonization, cross-linking, combining and analyzing of these existing or new data sets. For example, big data are used to probe everything from the regulation of genes and the evolution of genomes, to why estuarine algae bloom, what microbes are found on the skin of whales, to assess the distribution of fish stocks or the impact of fishing on marine ecosystems around the world, or how the genetic make-up of different plants and animals might determine their vulnerability to global change. In this unit, students will be introduced to some of the types and sources of large to very large biological, ecological, and environmental data of interest. A series of lectures supported by discussions, tutorial classes, and hands-on lab sessions, led by researchers actively engaged in the data they talk about, will introduce students to the logic, background, research questions and techniques necessary to understand and use big-data.
- Outcomes
- Students are able to (1) plan undertake and produce a systematic review in their field of specialisation; (2) design computational scripts to manipulate, investigate, visualise and analyse large datasets in their field of specialisation; (3) design virtual experiments with simulation and statistical models to address specific hypotheses and questions; (4) evaluate data and databases on global fisheries: harmonizing disparate data sets and adding ecological/economic/policy value to core fisheries data; and (5) assess the challenges and requirements involved in designing, developing, building and populating a large database..
- Assessment
- Indicative assessments in this unit are as follows: (1) assignments/reports and (2) project. Further information is available in the unit outline.
Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit.
- Unit Coordinator(s)
- Dr Michael Renton and Prof Dirk Zeller
- Unit rules
- Contact hours
- (possibly) 10 half days of contact
- The availability of units in Semester 1, 2, etc. was correct at the time of publication but may be subject to change.
- All students are responsible for identifying when they need assistance to improve their academic learning, research, English language and numeracy skills; seeking out the services and resources available to help them; and applying what they learn. Students are encouraged to register for free online support through GETSmart; to help themselves to the extensive range of resources on UWA's STUDYSmarter website; and to participate in WRITESmart and (ma+hs)Smart drop-ins and workshops.
- Books and other material wherever listed may be subject to change. Book lists relating to 'Preliminary reading', 'Recommended reading' and 'Textbooks' are, in most cases, available via the Booktopia Textbook Finder, which has the functionality to search by course code, course, ISBN and title, and may also be posted or available at the appropriate school's administrative offices. Where texts are listed in the unit description above, an asterisk (*) indicates that the book is available in paperback.

The average price of hotels and apartments in Hoedspruit varies according to the time of year. To help you plan when to go, we've looked at the hotels available on our site, then worked out the average price per night for the quietest and the busiest months.
Based on a typical 1 week holiday - adding together the cost of flights and accommodation - October is the cheapest month to go to Hoedspruit.
I had a wonderful time here. Stayed for 6 weeks volunteering at Moholoholo wildlife centre totally worth every penny truly a once in a lifetime experience. Lovely treatment from staff and team members. Highly recommend!
This rehab centre gives more insight about animals, and how they work to rehabilitate animals back into the wild, and how they care for those who has been injured of our neglect.

Google the phrase "punching above our weight" and numerous top results are about New Zealand business.
It is an over-used cliché which seems to always pass by unchallenged.
Maybe emanating from our physical distance from global markets, we've presented ourselves with this perception of being in the flyweight class and the slightest punch we land while sparring should be lauded as "punching above our weight".
There are several economies we can and should compare ourselves to, but for the sake of an example I will quote - Ireland - similar to New Zealand in a few ways. Both have a population of approximately 5 million citizens, both in the top ten on the HDI Index and both dominated by the primary and the technology sectors. Ireland is a quarter of New Zealand in land area, but has twice our GDP (and GDP per capita)1, attracts 10x more FDI2 and exports 3x more technology goods and services3.
I do not hold anything against the Irish and applaud their success, especially in the technology space, in no small measure facilitated by attractive tax regimes. I am just trying to challenge the narrative that is repeated ad-nauseam in our media cycles lulling ourselves into complacency.
What we (the NZ tech sector) have achieved in the past decade is worthy of praise, but it is remarkable only relative to our own performance year on year.
Over the years, every Market Measures report has shown that we have the utmost confidence in the products and services we deliver and quoting the 2016 report "put a typical Kiwi tech entrepreneur or sales leader in front of a prospect, no matter how big or sophisticated, we can close the deal".
But for years that is mostly what we have been doing – sending out incredibly talented sales leaders out into the market as 'lone wolves' armed with brochures about world leading tech solutions and hoping for the best.
Hope is not a strategy for growth.
The Market Measures 2016 report identifies three growth levers that will help shorten the long tail of small businesses and add to our collection of larger tech companies:
- Gain more sales intensity with focus – getting better results from our sales and marketing investment by being more focussed and strategic in the way we take tech products to market.
- Capturing and communicating more value – extracting more value from our sales by more often achieving premium prices.
- Smarter lead generation and conversion – co-opting the digital marketing and communication strategies that have made many U.S. tech behemoths become who they are today.
There is never a panacea to achieving growth but it can be frustrating to see fantastic innovative Kiwi tech companies not reaching their potential for the lack of smart lead generation. Compare our approach to lead generation to that of our peers in the States, 80% of firms there are generating new leads using high-volume, cost-effective indirect marketing tactics whereas less than a third of Kiwi tech businesses are doing the same.
There is a lot to learn and a long way to go before we catch up to the way the best in the technology world, globally, generate new business and achieve robust growth.
It is high time we stopped propagating the fiction of punching above our weight and actually get the smarts to land a big punch.

The Los Angeles Fire Department ordered mandatory evacuations in Sylmar, California, on October 11, as strong winds pushed the Saddleridge brush fire close to homes and businesses.
Winds gusted up to 60 mph, helping spread the fire, according to reports. This video shows the fire as wind pushed it close to a fire truck.
The LAFD reported the fire had grown 7,500 acres and was at 13 percent containment as of 5 pm local time on October 11.
Several other wildfires were burning in California, including the 4,905-acre Briceburg Fire, the 4,600-acre Sandalwood Fire and the 91-acre Wendy Fire.
One person is reported to have died since the fires begun. Credit: Austin Dave via Storyful

It's a big weekend for sports with the NHL Draft, the Junior B lacrosse playoffs, auto and harness racing at every track plus significant entertainment events at the Harry Lumley-Bayshore & at the Wiarton Airport.
And let's not overlook Mount Forest where tonight Minor Hockey Presents Border City Wrestling at the Mount Forest & District Sports Complex.
Based out of the Windsor region, Border City's troupe comes to Mount Forest with " Hacksaw " Jim Duggan, " Highlander " Robbie MacAllister & " TNA Knockout " Taylor Wilde " in tow.
I spoke with Robbie MacAllister last week, I wondered if the day would ever return, pre WWE, where North America had a series of independent territories rather than one monster corporation based out of Connecticutt dominating the industry.
MacAllister says he'd like to see it, but it's unlikely to happen soon.
If you're my age, you remember flipping the channel in the 70's and being able to watch cards out of Quebec, Maple Leaf Gardens, the Arena in Winnipeg, Stampede Wrestling in Calgary & Vancouver's All Star show.
Each territory had it's butt kicking villain from the Vachons to the Sheik, to the Stomper to Gene Kiniski & each territory had impressive lineups of good guys to root for from Don Leo Jonathon to Whipper Watson to Dan Kroffat.
And every summer, a cast of those villains and bad guys would come to the Midland Arena and be the topic of discussion, certainly amongst the bike riding set.
So tonight, the Border City crew comes to Mount Forest in what should be fun and a great fundraiser
Bell time is 7:30 pm
I'm Fred Wallace

Soundtrack for Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp
I have been asked by many people about the music in the film (and the trailer). Although, I wont be doing a official release here are the names of the songs/artist I used (in chronological order). I know that some of these tracks don't exist beyond the film but most do. CunninLynguists will be doing a special release on Spotify if I'm not mistaken.

As I begin writing this article back at Gambling Insider HQ, the on-site staff at Excel London will be packing things up as another ICE London comes to a close. Whether you're now free to roam London, or getting ready for a flight home, or making sure you're set for tonight's affiliate parties ahead of another day at IGB Affiliate London tomorrow (Friday), we're sure you could all do with some light reading on the event as one of our busiest weeks of the year comes to a close.
Everyone has their own experience of ICE to speak of each year, but here's our take on what particularly stood out in the show's first edition of the decade.
Big names just keep coming
Michael Owen, Rio Ferdinand, Tyson Fury, Michael van Gerwen. These are just some of the names from the world of sport that have appeared at ICE in the past, and with respect to those people, who are among the finest in their respective sports, the fanfare surrounding Usain Bolt's arrival was incomparable to anything we have witnessed at the show before. It almost felt as though everybody wanted to take a break from securing their next deal just to get a sight of him up close.
Ganapati, which has teamed up with the eight-time Olympic gold medal winning retired sprinter to create a Usain Bolt online slot game, deserves credit for securing the world's fastest man's time at the show. The Jamaican was also happy to speak with the media, so check back in to this website to see what he had to say.
Agenda has a rounded feel
Industry discussion topics often have a flavour of the month feel to them. At one time it was M & A, then fixed-odds betting terminals, then daily fantasy sports, then sports betting, and of course, the industry's reputation.
This has often been reflected in the conference schedules, but from looking at this year's agenda, it seemed there was no one particular topic that stood out. Regulation gets talked about a lot, so the World Regulatory Briefing managed to do as it said on the tin and give an equal amount of time to separate continents.
Now that ICE has branched out to become more regionalised, it is perhaps understandable that there was less of a focus on US issues in the London agenda, with ICE North America set to take place in New Orleans in May.
Some may have asked to see more conferences about responsible gambling, as we saw in the International Casino Conference, but there was a discussion on changing the image of gambling in the Marketing and Advertising conference.
It is difficult to fit everything in, and it certainly didn't feel like there was one dominant topic of conversation this year, whether in conferences or in meetings.
Sexism issue addressed, but still work to be done
While the show will be unlikely to face the national media scrutiny it was presented with in 2018, the issue of how promotional staff are used by exhibitors is still a topic which is talked about in the press and on the show floor.
Wherever you stand on the debate, it has been clear to see that for the most part, the industry is starting to get the message that the use of scantily-clad women to promote their products will be counter-productive, as it will give the national media more ammunition to attack the industry; which of course nobody in the industry wants.
But the industry also has to be aware the national media will not give up easily, and in some cases, will look for any angle to be critical. The Guardian, for example, still managed to pick out a few individual cases of what may be perceived as an inappropriate use of promotional staff. But that is all it needs to write a report that could influence Joe Public to think the whole industry is full of seedy and irresponsible companies. We can debate whether women dressed in catsuits should class as "scantily clad," but that's not the point.
There is no doubt the general vibe of the show floor has changed a lot with regards to this issue in the last two years, but it's an issue that will only be resolved with complete unity and sensitivity from all exhibitors to make sure nothing is taken out of context.
It's a long, hard slog... but worth it
Tuesday: "I can't believe it's so busy every year."
Wednesday: "I shouldn't have stayed out so long last night and I don't know how I'm getting through another day of back-to-back meetings today."
Thursday: "We're nearly there. I'm going to get so much sleep this weekend."
That is the general trend of how conversations start in meetings across the three days at the show. It can be demanding and hard work, but that's the point. It's one week of the year where almost every company on your contact list will be in town, and if you throw yourself into it, it can also be the most enjoyable week of the year. A day packed with meetings will always be likely to lead to something positive.
It certainly has been enjoyable to receive the feedback Gambling Insider has had regarding its stand, which featured cardboard cut-outs of the six CEOs appearing in this year's CEO Special for our January/February magazine.
Now, just as the English Premier League has begun its first winter break this week, we hope you enjoy a well-earned rest of your own, and before we know it, ICE London 2021 will surely be upon us!

As the "internet of things" grows, more and more people are turning to smart thermostats to manage the heating and cooling system in their home. A relatively recent phenomenon, smart thermostats look the high-tech part, but they also have quite a bit of offer in terms of convenience, high efficiency, and other features that can help the average homeowner save on energy costs.
What is a Smart Thermostat?
More than just a programmable device to control your home's heating and cooling equipment, a smart thermostat can be controlled remotely with a smart phone, tablet, smart speaker, or other internet-connected device. On a very basic level, smart thermostats allow you to schedule your target temperature settings, and they can be incorporated as part of a home automation system.
Other Features of Smart Thermostats
A number of smart thermostats offer other interesting features.
AI Some brands, like Nest, offer artificial intelligence-based thermostats that can learn your family's heating and cooling preferences and base future settings on that learning.
PROBLEM DETECTION Another popular feature of the better smart thermostats is the ability to detect and diagnose problems you're your ductwork or HVAC system when they occur; and, notify an HVAC service provider of the discrepancy.
REMINDERS Yet another feature of smart thermostats is to remind you when it's time to perform system maintenance (like changing your furnace filter or having season maintenance performed).
ENERGY USE Finally, some smart thermostats can provide you with energy consumption details.
ALEXA Some smart thermostats, notably the Ecobee 4, have an Amazon Alexa device built in, allowing you to control it by voice (and avoid the extra cost of a separate smart speaker).
ROOM SENSORS Some thermostats include separate room sensors that measure the temperatures in other areas or rooms of the house (not just the location of the thermostat), allowing you to reduce hot or cold spots in your home.
GEOFENCING This is a great feature that relieves you from having to program your thermostat around your family work and school hours; it can actually recognize when your family is home and active, and match the temperature settings to that activity.
What Makes a Smart Thermostat Tick?
A thermostat measures temperature in the living room of your home to determine when it needs to activate the heating or air conditioning to match a pre-determined temperature.
In a traditional or analog thermostat, when you move the lever to turn up the heat, this rotates a thermometer coil and activates a mercury switch inside. Current flows through the mercury and energizes a relay that starts the heater and circulation fan in your furnace. As the temperature in the room gradually rises, the thermometer coil unwinds until it tips the mercury switch back, breaking the circuit and turning off the heat.
Digital thermostats are all electronic, using a simple device called a thermistor to measure temperature. A thermistor allows electrical resistance changes with temperature. A microcontroller in the digital thermostat measures that resistance and converts it to an actual temperature reading.
One of the most useful features a digital thermostat has is programmable settings. For example, you can program it to automatically turn up the heat for an hour or two in the morning while your family is getting ready for work and school, turn it down until you get home, turn it up during the evening hours when everyone's awake, then turn it back down while the family sleeps. This can be a huge money saver simply because your heating system will simply use less energy to heat or cool the house when you're not there or when you're sleeping.
Smart thermostats are digital thermostats, except they contain hardware that allows them to connect to a home's WiFi network. You can change the thermostat's settings from literally anywhere, using an app supplied by the thermostat manufacturer. When you change a setting on the app, that gets transmitted to the smart thermostat, and the thermostat sends its signal to turn the blower motor on or off, the heater on, or the AC on.
Smart thermostats connected to (or containing) a smart speaker like Google Home or Amazon Alexa allow you to use voice commands to change the temperature or timing (as opposed to your smartphone).
How Can You Save Money with a Smart Thermostat?
Simply put, you save money with a smart thermostat by using energy to heat or cool your home only when necessary.
Using features like AI learning, scheduling, geofencing, and by diagnosing problems with the system and reminding you to have routine maintenance performed, a smart thermostat will run more efficiently and consume less energy dollars.
What is the Difference Between a Programmable Thermostat and a Smart Thermostat?
A programmable thermostat just follows the program and timing set by the user, of when to turn the system on or off. A step up from a programmable thermostat, the smart thermostat allows the user to make those same program changes, but assists with that programming based on your family's schedule. And it allows you do make those changes from anywhere, provided the smart thermostat is connected to your WiFi network.
What is Required to Install a Smart Thermostat?
Smart thermostats can be installed in just about any home with a relatively modern HVAC system. A thermostat uses low voltage signals to transfer data, using 18- or 20-gauge solid, colored wires. If your system is older than 20 or 25 years, it may not be compatible.
According to the Nest website, your HVAC system isn't compatible with a smart thermostat if it has the following features:
- Your thermostat has stranded wires
- Your thermostat has thick, stranded wires connected by wire nuts
- Your thermostat is labeled 110v or 120v
You may also need to have a "common" or C-wire in your current thermostat's setup.
The easiest way to determine if your system can handle a smart thermostat is to schedule a service call for routine maintenance on your system and ask one of our highly-trained, certified HVAC technicians if your system can work with one of these modern devices.
How We Can Help
Our team offers a wide array of routine maintenance services for your heating and cooling system, allowing your family to breathe fresh, safe, clean air year-round. We also offer a number of add-ons to your HVAC equipment that can improve your home's IAQ, such as electrostatic air filters, whole-house humidifiers, duct cleaning, and more… and Smart Thermostats!

Small matters. This truth struck me one day when I discovers termites in my house. They were so small, the termite inspector had to get a magnifying glass to determine if they really were termites. They were small, but they were on their way to doing big damage. Small matters!
This is the major theme of Joshua chapter 7. Despite their amazing victory over the huge and fortified city of Jericho, the Children of Israel suddenly find themselves retreating, defeated, discouraged, and scared. And even their faithful and courageous leader Joshua is trembling with dismay. Why? Small matters.

Jan 292019 Gossip
The inspiration for this shoot came from analogue sources, such as magazines, people and places. The hairstylist didn't use – or want to be influenced by – digital platforms such as social media, as he feel that it's too easy to create a concept through these methods. He pushed himself to think differently and creatively and the result is a collection that celebrates pure individuality.
