"I didn't know I was beast until I varial flipped a trash can." — Genesis Evans
E.J. started to post bits and pieces of the DANY video over on his Vimeo page. You could still purchase hard copies of the video over at The Dany Store as well. Or if you want to get weird, we also saw it for sale at a barber shop in Japan, so…
Genny's part is the first to go live, and it's every bit as beast as sports analysts thought it would be when he was rolling away from the aforementioned varial flip. This video was what ushered in the wave of people skating the bad ledge at Houston Park again (also the inspiration for this post from March), so its chill to see this generation still keeping up with Anthony Correa's business practices from Mixtape by placing a mid-line can on the pathway.
Should be caught up on all holiday webstore orders today / tomorrow, and end of the years lists, best ofs, etc. will begin to go live shortly ♥ #sorry4thewait

Rating: ***
From the San Francisco Bay Area comes crooner, Patrick Ames. Ames is known for his lyrically dark style much in the vein of Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, and Tom Waits. His latest EP called "Liveness" is dropping in early April and as you might have guessed, I have my hands (ears) on it a little earlier than most.
I love brooding singer-songwriter types so this is an exciting listen for me. We may be quarantined during the darkest times in modern history but that's not gonna make me listen to some lighthearted fluff just because of the contrast. Hell no!
I'm gonna curl up with some coffee and a calorie-dense cinnamon roll and give this one the old playthrough. I'll report on what I find in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
Watch the music video for "Bang Bang Bang" on Youtube below:
"Bang Bang Bang" gets us started off and man, this song is a bummer. So real, but good lord does he nail it here. Especially sobering in the wake of the world's climate right now. Let's have a go at the next one. "I Want You (Bossanova)" is next and it's full of romantic crooning. This one reminds me a bit of Let Love In-era Nick Cave. What it lacks in melody, it makes up for in desire. "Just Before I Said I Do (Wedding Song)" is next and it's this also reminds me of that era of Nick Cave. I happen to love that era so there will be no complaints from me. "Slow Dancing" brings a little bit of melody to the party, but in a very Jim Carrol way. Listen, this album isn't gonna bring you out of the doldrums if you're in them, but it definitely sets a mood. "Suspicions" is a slow burner, but it's thoughtful and relatable. This is probably my favorite track on the whole album. Super solid, melancholic, folk-rock music. We end the EP with "Want to Believe" and it's got a little groove to it! How about that! Lyrically it's deep and a bit depressing, but I think you probably already knew that.
This one is a little heavy-handed, but I found it enjoyable. If you aren't into dark, sobering music, this one isn't gonna be for you. For those like me, however, you're probably gonna find more than enough to dig here. It's recommended for those folks, and probably not for the rest of ya.

Bombolini is a fairly-worthless drunk in the small Italian town of Santa Vittoria in the closing days of World War II. When word comes that the Fascist government has surrendered, he climbs a water tower to tear down the flag. He can't get down and someone gets the crowd to chant his name to give him confidence. The Fascist town council hears this and believes that he is the town's new leader. They surrender to him and make him the new mayor. He rises to the occasion and when he finds that the Germans plan to occupy his town and take their wine (over a million bottles), he works out a plan to hide it.

Classic Cowes conditions
A week of cracking sea breezes!
Mark and Liz Rushall raced their cruising yacht Ragdoll, a 27 foot Honeybee, for the first time at the Panerai's and finished a very credible 4th in the very competitive Class 4. (Jap the winner of class 4 won the event overall too).
Mark, an Olympic sailing coach commented, "Ragdoll is normally our cruising boat - we raced her for the first time this year. Our new crosscut main went up for the Panerai's and was perfect. We are delighted with our new sails. We were astonished we could outpoint a lot of bigger boats, and really held our own in the fleet. Until now, we've never had any upwind pointing and avoided long beats against the tide where we could. As well as a fun week at the Classics, our new sails have transformed our cruising plans too. Good result!"

The IDSCA Registration Process
Registering for and IDSCA.com Pay Per Head account is not as easy as it sounds. It is a three step process that is not automated which makes you wonder about the rest of their services.
Step 1. First you have to fill out the registration form and wait for them to reply. On average, it takes about 10-15 minutes before you receive a reply.
Step 2. Once you have received a reply you need to contact call them in order to start up your package. When you call them, you will need to answer questions about the type of gambling website you are looking for. In addition, you will have to answer questions like how many players you will have, preferences and so on.
Step 3. Make your deposit and they will start working on your website.
IDSCA.com Sportsbook Pay Per Head Review
In terms of cost, IDSCA is more expensive than other Sportsbook PPH services. The cost of their basic package is $23 per player. The basic package will include: Sports Wagering, Horse Wagering, Casino, Mobile Wagering and Live Betting services. Keep in mind that the reason for the higher cost is because you get your own personalized website and toll-free number.
It is possible to get a lower initial cost per player if you decide to pay only for the sports and horse wagering. However, you will have to pay for the additional services like the casino, live betting and mobile betting separately.
IDSCA.com Player and Agent Software Review
The player sports betting interface is nice and clean but a bit antiquated as they still use ASI. However, it does what it is suppose to do.
For the agent/sportsbook pay per head operator, it's a mess. When you click on an option, you sometimes have to use the back button to see the options menu. They have some decent management options but the software is very frustrating and difficult to use.
The Player management interface is very limited because you cannot add any player details. On the plus side, you are able to set parlay and teaser max wager limits. We didn't like that we could not enable or disable the online casino unless it is part of your package. This means that if one of my players wants to access to the casino; I have to call it in.
Our Opinion and Recommendation
This Sportsbook Pay Per Head service is too expensive for what you get. Most bookie Pay Per Head service will give you a much better deal and more gambling options. In addition, even with the toll-free number and the free website, the cost is still too high. Other Sportsbook Pay Per Head Provider, like PricePerPlayer.com will give you these at a much more affordable cost.
Submit your review
I gave it 2 stars because I don't think their services are worth what I paid for them. I switched to a cheaper provider with better services.
Although their customer service was helpful, their services are too expensive. I can find other providers with better services at more affordable prices.
Started out with them. They were okay, but I did not realize how much I was missing until I saw other sites and they had better software. Left them for better.

Gov. Ron DeSantis' call last week for eight board members of the South Florida Water Management to resign marks the first time a governor has attempted to make such a sweeping change to one of the state's five water agencies, say longtime state water experts.
"I thank you for your service ... but it is time for a clean reset on the leadership of the board," DeSantis wrote in a letter to the board members he wanted gone. Given the voters' support for his environmental proposals, he wrote, "I look forward to reconstituting the board."
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Gov. DeSantis demands water agency board resign.
"This is unprecedented," said Estus Whitfield, who served as environmental adviser to four governors.
DeSantis, who on the campaign trail repeatedly blasted the industry known as Big Sugar, had asked water district board members in December to postpone a vote on extending a sugar company lease for land needed for Everglades restoration. He wanted time to get familiar with the issue before the vote. Rep. Brian Mast, an ally of DeSantis who headed his environmental transition team, also asked for a delay.
The board approved the lease extension anyway, citing the need to move quickly as being more important than what the new governor wanted. The $1 million lease allows Florida Crystals to continue farming about 16,000 acres in the Everglades Agricultural Area, even while planning goes on for a $1.6 billion in the same area that was approved by the Legislature in 2017 to try to end environmentally damaging releases from Lake Okeechobee.
"For far too long the South Florida Water Management District has been more accountable to special interests than to the people of Florida," Mast said in a statement after DeSantis demanded the resignations. "That changes today, and I look forward to continuing to work with Gov. DeSantis to find replacements who make our waterways and environment the No. 1 priority."
So far four members have refused to quit, and the chairman questioned whether DeSantis has the authority to remove a board member. Florida law says, "The Governor shall have authority to remove from office any officer of said district in the manner and for cause defined by the laws of this state applicable to situations which may arise in said district." But the question is whether this would constitute such "cause."
Ever since 1972, Florida' water resources have been the responsibility of five management districts, which regulate every aspect of water use, from utility pumping to wetlands development, around the state. The districts employ scientists and engineers, but they are overseen by board members appointed by the governor.

State law specifically says the board members should be chosen from "agriculture, the development industry, local government, government-owned or privately owned water utilities, law, civil engineering, environmental science, hydrology, accounting, or financial businesses."
While unpaid, the board members — and particularly the board chairman — have historically been considered powerful positions that some people used as a stepping stone to political careers, said Emilio "Sonny" Vergara, a former executive director of both the St. Johns River Water Management District and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. The latter, sometimes referred to as "Swiftmud," is the one that oversees the Tampa Bay area.
"Because they're not elected offices, that gives them a certain amount of freedom," Vergara said. "Their responsibility is to the natural resources of the state, not to cater to the population." But politics inevitably gets mixed up in the decisions, he added.
For instance, former Gov. Rick Scott pushed out several water management district executive directors while he was in office, and then with the Legislature's help he slashed their budgets and forced them to lay off scientists and engineers. That robbed the agencies of both power and expertise, Vergara said.
In the past, governors have occasionally passed along a quiet word to a board member or chairman that it was time to head for the door, said Estus Whitfield, who served as environmental adviser to four Florida governors. But except for the 1987 incident, there is no precedent for what DeSantis has called for.
The South Florida Water Management District is by far the largest of the five, and the one dealing with the most complex issues, Vergara said. It's the lead state agency on Everglades restoration. In addition to dealing with local governments across a 16-county area, it also must deal with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, two Native American tribes and the complicated political alliances and enmities that are characteristic of life in South Florida.
It's also the one where the stakes are the highest, because the water district is in charge of operating a vast network of pipes, pumps, levees and canals that control the flow of surface water across the region.
"You could kill a lot of people by making the wrong decision," Vergara said. Thus, he said, when Scott appointed as the South Florida agency's executive director his personal attorney, Pete Antonacci, who had no background in water management, "that was a very dangerous thing to do."
Antonacci subsequently got into a dispute with the Fish and Wildlife Service, and made headlines by quarreling with the scientists who were in charge of checking the scientific basis of Everglades restoration, telling them to "tend to their knitting."
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Scott water appointee tangles with scientists.
So far, three of South Florida's board members have resigned — one before DeSantis' announcement last week, two more since then. Of the ones left, three are facing the end of their appointed terms on March 1.
Vergara said the lesson to be learned is a simple one: "Don't screw with the governor."

September 19, 2001 - August 21, 2014
Patrick (Aka Whytell Olive) was Adopted from HOT Greyhounds out of San Antonio. Known by his last family as "Oliver" he was a returned Grey that was living with a family with a little girl. We had a young son and the foster family said Oliver was great with kids, her daughter even stepped on him and he did not snap or bite. So we drove down to San Antonio to pick him up. Patrick was a great fit for our family, but he had never lived in a house without other greyhounds and was having problems when he was left by himself. So it was either drugs or adopt another dog to keep him company. That is where the GALT family came back in with EarlyBird (who passed away this spring) Patrick enjoyed his retirement years. Spent a lot of time digging several large holes in our backyard. There probably is still some stuffies buried back there. His favorite squeekies where always the Giraffes, we never figured that one out, but he would not share those like the others.
Patrick was not a leaner, would not come lay down next to you, however he did like to nudge when he wanted attention. When he made you laugh, he would do it harder. That was how he played. Over the last year, our nightly walks got shorter and shorter. The last month I was lucky to get him to walk more than a few houses down before he would turn around and walk back home.
I am going to miss our nightly walks.

Paxman's most successful (in terms of numbers sold) and best known range of 7" bore engines was the RPH series. Over 6,690 were built; more than any other type of Paxman engine. Important applications of the RPH included rail traction, driving generator sets including marine auxiliaries and emergency or standby sets, marine propulsion, oil well drilling and powering Ruston-Bucyrus excavators.
The earliest version, the RPH Series 1 range, was derived from the wartime 12TP and was virtually the same engine. Edward Paxman, son of the Company's founder, announced to the Board in November 1942 his plans for an in-line six cylinder 7" bore x 7¾" stroke engine called the RPH. This was basically a 12TP with one bank of cylinders blanked off. RPH engines were ordered in November 1944 for eight Royal Navy Daring Class Destroyers, as auxiliaries for electrical power generation. It seems likely that industrial (i.e. non-defence) sales of the RPH did not really take off until about 1947. The Paxman Sales Engineers' Handbook says of the RPH Series 1: "Many hundreds were produced between 1947 and 1954, in six and twelve cylinder versions, both normally aspirated and pressure charged." (1)
In 1951 Paxman commenced production of the vee form RPH Series 2. This had greatly improved accessibility and incorporated a number of technical advances such as increased bearing areas, gear-driven water pumps and roller cam followers. Initial production centred on twelve and sixteen cylinder sizes, both normally aspirated and pressure-charged. (2) During its production life the RPH Series 2 appeared in a number of versions or 'Marks'. This page charts the changes to the RPH, and to its direct-injection successor, the YH, which were introduced during their production lives. A more general history and description of the RPH and YH engine ranges can be found on the page Paxman Diesels since 1934.
A summary of the main changes to RPH and YH engines, up to c.1967/68, was published in the Paxman Sales Engineers' Handbook in chart form (3), the text of which is reproduced in the table below.

COMMENT from Don Meiklejohn: There was a RPH Mk 6 as per the above chart. This was a 12 cylinder turbocharged engine running at 1,500 rpm. To run at this speed the 12 cylinder engine required the fit of a crankshaft fitted with balance weights. This shaft was the one fitted in 12YH engines. The remainder of the engine was however basically the same as other 12RPH Mk 5 engines and normally most people would have called it a "Mk 5".
(Author's Note on the Paxman engine notation system: RPH or YH with the suffix 'X' indicates that the engine is turbocharged but not intercooled. The suffix 'C' indicates that the engine is turbocharged with air to water intercooling. Paxman's notation system is described in detail on the page Identifying Paxman Diesel Engine Types.)
Changes introduced in subsequent Marks of the RPH Series 2 and YH ranges were detailed in Technical Data Sheets (TDSs) issued by the Company in September 1970. The text of these TDSs is reproduced below with additional comments from Don Meiklejohn, Senior Technical Support Engineer at MAN Diesel & Turbo UK Ltd, Colchester.
Date. Sept. 1970 Issue No. 1
Scope: RPH & YH ENGINES
Subject: Uprated 7 inch Bore Engines - Mark Numbers
A detailed history of the mark numbers for 7" bore engines is given on page 19 of the Sales Engineers Handbook (revision 3) but for recipients of this bulletin who are not issued with the Handbook brief details of previous mark numbers are given below:-
|Speed - rev./min.
|Mark No.
|Up to and including 1250 rev./min.
|Above 1250 rev./min.
|4, 6, 8, RPHX and RPHC
|Pressure charged with and without intercooling
|All speeds
|12 RPHX and RPHC
|Up to and including 1250 rev./min.
|12 RPHX and RPHC
|Above 1250 rev./min.
|12 YHX and YHC
|All speeds
|(Holset turbo-chargers) 4
|12 YHX and YHC
|All speeds
|(Napier turbo-chargers) 5
Engines of the 7" bore range have been modified to incorporate the latest design changes and Value Analysis recommendations. Changes in engine build due to speed (i.e. balance weights on 12 cylinder engines above 1250 rev./min.) and variations in compression ratio between naturally-aspirated and pressure-charged engines will now cease to exist.
RPH, RPHX and RPHC Engines
These engines will now be known as Mark 7.
YHX and YHC Engines
These engines will now be known as Mark 6.
All mark numbers will be written in the form above, not as Roman numerals (i.e. Mark 6 NOT Mark VI).
Details of engine modifications and revised power outputs will be given in a later Technical Data Sheet.
COMMENTS from Don Meiklejohn:
a) This TDS mentions a 12YH Mk 5. There is no "Engineers List" for such an engine and as far as I know no production engines were ever built and supplied to customers. It may however have been a design exercise and could have been run on development as a modification to a Mk 4 engine. Napier Turbochargers were owned by English Electric and this could have been an exercise after Paxman was taken over by EE in 1966.
b) The RPH Mk 7 and YH Mk 6 were introduced to the market in 1969 with the first production engines being built in 1970 and 1971.
Date. Sept. 1970 Issue No. 1
Scope: RPH, RPHX & RPHC ENGINES
Subject: Introduction of Mark 7 Engines
This bulletin releases for sale the uprated version of the pressure-charged intercooled RPHC and a revised build standard for normally-aspirated RPH and pressure-charged RPHX engines. Mark numbers for these engines were released through TDS.B2.
The RPHC version has been developed to give 10% more power than existing engines in the speed range 1,000 - 1,500 rev./min. RPHC engines operating below 1,000 rev./min. can only be offered at existing outputs. There is no increase in the rating on RPH and RPHX engines. This uprating has been achieved by reducing the compression ratio to 15.5:1 (from 17.25:1) and re-matching the exhaust gas driven turbo blowers.
Other design changes and value analysis proposals are being incorporated in the uprated RPHC engine and also in the RPH and RPHX engines.
The startability of RPHC and RPHX engines is unaffected as Pintaux nozzles are being fitted to counteract the deterioration caused by the reduction in the compression ratio.
Component changes necessary to achieve the uprating are:-
Other design changes and value analysis proposals include:-
Pistons with .125 inch width parallel top compression ring and one oil control ring, all above gudgeon pin. Round wire circlips to locate the gudgeon pin.
Intercooler mounted underneath the turbo blower at the drive end of the engine giving improved accessability in the vee and more robust fixing for the cooler.
Modified free end cover.
Upset forged push rods.
New studs for main bearings, cylinder block and head.
The cylinder heads of 4 and 8 cylinder engines have been strengthened.
Standard (instead of special flanged) nuts for cylinder heads.
RPH Mark 7 - Naturally-Aspirated Engine
This engine embodies all the relevant modifications listed above including the .125 inch width compression piston ring, but the compression ratio of 17.25:1 has been retained. Low speed engines (below 1251 rev./min.) have high speed type rods with an oil supply to the gudgeon pins but with the oil squirt to the piston undercrown blanked off.
RPHX Mark 7 Pressure Charged Engine
This engine embodies all the relevant modifications listed above. The compression ratio has been reduced to 16:1 to maintain maximum interchangeability with the RPHC engines. This is contrary to the statement in TDS.B1 paragraph 4. It has been established that about 80% of all RPH engine sales are for RPHX and C engines. Pintaux nozzles will be fitted.
Heat Dissipation
Specific heat dissipation rates - gross water and oil flows are unchanged.
Fuel and Oil Consumptions
Initial testing indicates that specific fuel consumption remains unchanged at the B.S. continuous rating. New consumption figures will be issued for other duties when sufficient production engines have been tested. Lubricating oil consumption with revised piston ring layout is not affected.
Special Notes for Sales and Contracts
Despatch dates for the uprated engines should be established by the normal D.P.R. procedure. A week is required by Development Department to check the performance on the first production engine of each size and speed.
Load Acceptance
The ability of the engines to accept full load and the overload stop setting is laid down in TDS.A13.
A complete interchangeability chart will be issued by Engineering. However, the following main components or assemblies are interchangeable with engines built to Mark 3 to 6 standards:-
Liners, normally-aspirated pistons (in sets) complete with rings, gudgeon pins and circlips, main and large end bearings, connecting rods, camshaft, free end gear drives, crankshaft, balance gear, fuel injection pumps (not couplings), governor and linkage, cylinder heads and blocks when modified by fitting a small sleeve, oil pumps.
The revised outputs are detailed in the relevant pages of T.D.S. Section A.
Date. Sept. 1970 Issue No. 1
Scope: 12YHX & YHC ENGINES
Subject: Introduction of Mark 6 YH Engine
This Data Sheet gives technical release for the uprated version of the pressure-charged intercooled 12YHC engine. The mark number for the engine was released through TDS.B2. The output of pressure-charged YHX engines has also been increased.
The 12YHC version has been developed to give 10 - 16% more power than existing engines in the speed range 1,000 - 1,500 rev./min. 12YHC engines operating below 1,000 rev./min. can only be offered at existing outputs. There is also an increase in the rating on 12YHX engines up to 1,250 rev./min. This uprating has been achieved by reducing the compression ratio from 14.25:1 to 13:1 and by fitting a camshaft with tangent shaped cams giving faster inlet and exhaust valve opening and closing rates.
The compression ratio and other components of the YHX engine will be changed to give common parts with the 'C' engine.
Reducing the compression ratio to 13:1 will affect starting by 12°F but this should still enable cold starts to be made down to about 37°F without external aids.
Component changes necessary to achieve the uprating are:-
Other design changes to reduce cost and overcome service problems include:-
Heat Dissipation
Specific heat dissipation rates are expected to be unchanged; water flows are unchanged and lubricating oil pump flows are increased by 27%.
Fuel and Oil Consumption
Initial testing indicates that the specific fuel consumption at the new B.S. continuous ratings are unchanged at 1,500 rev./min. and have been reduced by 2% (max.) for speeds of 1,200 and 1,000 rev./min. New consumption figures will be issued for all duties when sufficient production engines have been tested. Lubricating oil consumptions have been reduced by the introduction of the revised piston ring layout (see paragraph 6(i) for description). New figures will be issued when production engines have been tested.
Special Notes for Sales and Contracts
Despatch dates for the uprated engines should be established by the normal D.P.R. procedure. A week is required by Development Department to check the performance on the first production engine at each speed.
Load Acceptance
The ability of the engines to accept full load and the overload stop setting is covered by TDS.A13.
The revised outputs are detailed in the relevant pages of T.D.S. Section A.
COMMENT from Don Meiklejohn: There was an RPH Mk 8 engine. This was based on the Mk 7 but replaced the indirect injection cylinder head and piston with a new direct injection head and a piston with a combustion bowl. I recall this engine running on development testing, it was either a 6 cylinder or an 8 cylinder. It was intended to give a 10% increase in power output over the Mk 7 combined with an improved fuel consumption. In addition a simplified 12 cylinder engine was proposed. This had a redesigned crankcase to take cylinder blocks and heads based on those fitted to the 6 cylinder engine. The fuel pumps were to be on a cross-drive box similar to that fitted on the 4, 6 and 8 cylinder engines. The Mk 8 however never made it into production as there were major problems in getting the exhaust smoke levels acceptable. Even if it had entered production it probably would not have sold well. Our traditional British shipbuilding market was disappearing rapidly due to competition from the Far East and it would have been too expensive for the standby generator-set market where there were a number of newer and cheaper competitors available. These killed off the 12YH sales.

A Portable Measurement System For The Assessment Of Time Weighted And Impulsive Exposures To Whole Body Vibration - Introduction; Proceedings Of The First American Conference On Human Vibration
2006Source: Proceedings of the first American conference on human vibration, June 5-7, 2006, Morgantown, West Virginia. Dong R, Krajnak K, Wirth O, Wu J, eds. Morgantown: WV: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute forOccupational Safety and Health, DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2006-140, 2006 Jun; :90

Conference Authors:
Description:Bus drivers represent a large segment of the US transportation industry and research has shown an association between exposure to Whole Body Vibration (WBV) and the high rates of low back disorders. Impulsive WBV exposures have been recognized as a risk factor for low back injury and new guidelines exist for their measurement and assessment (ISO 2631, Part 5). Methods to accurately and better characterize the impulsiveness of WBV along with the temporal patterns of the exposures are needed. The development of a hardware and software system to measure continuous TWA and raw, impulsive WBV exposures and the design of a subsequent study are presented. Methods Using two Larson Davis HVM 100 as accelerometer amplifiers, small external batteries, and a Pocket-PC (PDA) with 1 Gb of compact flash memory, we can collect up to 16 channels of data for a full day 600 Hz. Tri-axial WBV exposures will be measured and characterized at the frame of the bus and at the driver/seat interface (seatpad accelerometer). Using a repeated measures design, 20 bus drivers will drive on selected routes which include both city streets and highways, and within and between subject components of variability and exposure determinants related to the bus, bus seat, the bus driver, and the route will be identified. Global Positioning System (GPS) data will also be collected and integrated with the WBV exposure data to facilitate the identification of the location, velocity and type of road associated with high average TWA and impulsive WBV exposures. This system may be used to develop administrative (alter speed and/or route of bus, systematically vary type of routes) and/or engineering controls (identify and trigger the need for street repair) to reduce high WBV exposures. Results Our portable Pocket-PC based data acquisition system is up and running and we can collect seven channels of WBV data (seat pan tri-axial accelerometer, bus frame tri-axial accelerometer and GPS data) continuously for a full shift. The software analysis of the data is complex but nearing completion. We have incorporated the vibration dose calculations from ISO 5321, Part 5 and have obtained a Matlab-based routine to appropriately weight the continuous signals. Discussion In summary, the measurement of WBV is complex but new technologies open avenues of collecting and assessing WBV exposures that were previously not possible. The standardization of impulsive WBV exposure assessment methods is needed to further the discipline and better enable comparisons across studies.

Friday, Jeremy and I celebrated 17 years. 2 college graduations, 1 knee surgery, 3 c-sections, 2 VNS surgeries, 1 hip surgery, 1 tonsillectomy/adnoidectomy, 2 ear surgeries, 1 mouth surgery, 1 two week commitment in a psych ward, way too many ER and hospital visits to count, Lauri's stroke, her hospital visits and ill health and her funeral, taking 4 brothers and my parents to the MTC, taking trips to the Mediterranean, New York, Florida, San Francisco, Carmel, Michigan, Phoenix, San Diego, Riverside and numerous vacations at beaches and national parks, hiking the Grand Canyon for my Mom's 50th birthday, living in 4 different houses, building this house and doing a yard, 2 trucks, 2 motorcycles, 2 cars and 2 vans, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 6 hamsters, 1 cockatiel. No wonder it feels like we have always been together! Jeremy plied me with love notes, chocolate and cheesecake and kids were excited to babysit while we went out to a movie. (side-note: Cowboys vs Aliens is NOT a chick flick but is Predator vs True Grit movie - lots of chances to jump and hold Jeremy's hand) So it was a great anniversary all around.
On Tuesday night it was Robyn's turn for her "date" with Mom. She did not think shopping for school supplies sounded much like a date. But when I told her that we would of course get ice cream at the end she yelled "Wahoo, now that is a date!" When we got home Allison asked how her date was and she replied 'faaaantastic" and I figured I must have done something right. This week Robyn's loud talking has hit a new high. We seem to be constantly working on our indoor voices.
I went and had a bone test this week and moved out of that awkward heavy boot to a smaller granny shoe. In another week I am back to normal shoes again. And in two week I can start running again. Hopefully it won't be too painful to start up again.
Life is just good all around and I am hating the thought of giving up our summer days in one more week. I have been gorging on peaches hoping our motto of you can't get fat on fruit is really true, and figuring out what classes to go to at Education Week this week.
love, Heather

Eurosystem introduces Europa Series €5 banknote
A new €5 banknote, the first one in the Europa series, started to circulate today in the euro area countries.
To mark the occasion, a short event hosted by Jozef Makúch, Governor of Národná banka Slovenska, was held in the Slovak capital, Bratislava, where the Governing Council was meeting. A group of "euro generation" children – those who have grown up only knowing the euro – handed over transparent stars containing the new €5 banknote to the members of the Governing Council. The ECB's President, Mario Draghi, also presented a signed new €5 banknote to each child.
The new €5 banknote has benefited from advances in banknote technology since the first series was introduced in 2002. It includes some new and enhanced security features. The watermark and hologram display a portrait of Europa, a figure from Greek mythology – and hence the name of this series of banknotes. An eye-catching "emerald number" changes colour from emerald green to deep blue and displays an effect of the light that moves up and down. Short raised lines on the left and right edges of the banknote make it easier to identify the banknote, especially for visually impaired people. All these security features can be found on the front side of the new note and can be readily checked using the "feel, look and tilt" method. It is envisaged that they will be included in all the banknotes of the Europa series. The other banknotes in the series will be introduced in the years ahead, with the €10 as the next denomination.
The ECB's website and the newfaceoftheeuro website have pictures and TV footage of the event as well as further information on the new banknote, including several videos highlighting its security features. The "Euro Cash Academy", an interactive way to learn about the new €5 and the other denominations, is also available on both these websites and as a smartphone app – in 22 European Union languages.

Bath score six tries on route to 45-15 victory over London Irish at the Madejski Stadium
Two converted tries was all the home side had to offer
Fijian scrum-half Nikola Matawalu scored the final try for the visitors
A relentless Bath made light of Sam Burgess's return to rugby league by thrashing London Irish at the Madejski Stadium, scoring six tries to claim their second win of the season in convincing fashion.
Irish, on the other hand, are yet to win a game this season, slipping to a fourth consecutive defeat. The Exiles, therefore, remain cemented to the bottom of the table along with Newcastle, who were beaten at Worcester, meaning both teams will enter round five still seeking their first point.
It had been somewhat of a disruptive week for Bath after Sam Burgess' sudden decision to quit rugby union in order to return to the league format. Despite announcing he was committed to Bath not long before, he left in controversial terms in the week to rejoin the Sydney Rabbitohs in Australia.
The disruption did not seem to concern Bath on the field as they were convincing winners. Wales international Rhys Priestland's early penalty, followed by conversions of tries for both Leroy Houston and Ollie Devoto gave Bath a comfortable 17-0 lead.
Despite Irish scrum-half Brendan McKibbin's red card for the Exiles, Scott Steele's try whittled it back to 17-7 by the break.
But Bath ran in four second-half tries through Alafoti Faosiliva, Kyle Eastmond, Priestland and Nikola Matawalu to secure the comfortable bonus point victory.
The hosts were up against it from the 20th minute onwards after Australian scrum-half McKibbin was sent off for stamping on prop Henry Thomas's head. Their only second-half response was a try from Fergus Mulchrone 11 minutes after the restart, which was converted by Shane Geraghty.
Bath: Rhys Priestland
The fly-half had an enormous impact on his first start for the club, especially during the first half. He dictated the tempo of the game in his side's favour. He was good with the ball in hand and added a respectable amount of points from the tee. He even managed to touch down a try of his own, which was his first for the club.
London Irish: 15 Topsy Ojo, 14 Alex Lewington, 13 Tom Fowlie, 12 Fergus Mulchrone, 11 Aseli Tikoirotuma, 10 Shane Geraghty, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 8 Rob McCusker, 7 David Sisi, 6 Tom Guest, 5 Matt Symons, 4 George Skivington (C), 3 Leo Halavatau, 2 David Paice, 1 Tom Smallbone.

Gas and Bloating A D Primary Recommendation
July 26, 2022 by Leyla Moudden
Gas and Bloating A D Primary Recommendation
Digest Keto contains a whole host of high-potency enzymes, including lipase to break down fat and proteases to break down protein, and a special probiotic (Bacillus subtillis DE111) to help promote regularity and a healthy microbiome. Each serving is able to digest up to 20g of protein and 44g of fat, along with relieving the occasional constipation that occurs on a keto diet. Digest Keto uses Thera-blend technology to allow the enzymes to completely digest fat and protein throughout the entire digestive tract. Each enzyme variant has slightly different optimal pH where it functions best. By mixing different enzyme variants within each major class of enzyme type, Digest Keto is able to work at multiple pH levels. This is important because the pH in the digestive tract can range from very acidic to more alkaline. For example, the pH in the stomach is 1.5 (acidic) and up to 8.3 in the intestines (alkaline). The recommended dosage for Digest Keto is 1 to 2 capsules just before a meal.

We all have must listened this word SEO. We have heard this a number of times. And also have a keen interest to know more about SEO. So this article will let you know about What Is SEO and also the tips for SEO.
SEO stands for the Search Engine Optimization.SEO is a way to get the traffic on a site. We need to follow the White Hat SEO because it is the only way to the ranking.By doing with the other method we could banned, we need to focus only on the White Hat SEO. So what are the Google algorithm -So exactly no one knows the Google algorithm as Google changes its search algorithm around 500 to 600 times a year but it doesn't picked by the user. So SEO is basically of two types- ON Page SEO & OFF Page SEO.
ON Page SEO
So ON Page SEO is that type of SEO in which we do changes to a website or we do changes to website pages according to the requirement to rank a website on search engine result page.

I have to confess I have lately been distracted from my current work-in-progress. The approaching Christmas season is finally catching up with me and I couldn't resist crocheting a cute little bear to celebrate.
Here she is.
She has a beaded flower headband, a full skirt and some stripy leggings.
She stands 23 cms tall (that's 9 inches) and is made from double knitting weight yarn (with a little bit of 4 ply for the flower).
The PDF for the pattern is available for free, here.
Of course, she doesn't just have to be for Christmas - she'd look just as good in a different colour scheme and make a lovely birthday gift.
I hope you like the pattern.

There are small business that have gone out of business because they didn't have access to PPP money, yet Joel Osteen's church received $4.4 million.
via: New York Post
Multimillionaire televangelist Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church in Texas netted $4.4 million in bailouts through the federal COVID-19 relief program, records show.
The Houston megachurch, the largest in the nation with 52,000 weekly congregants, received the forgivable Paycheck Protection Program loan in late July, the Houston Business Journal reported Sunday.
The loan was the third-highest in the Houston area during all of July and August, the outlet noted, citing federal data.
Lakewood's PPP check went to 368 full- and part-time employees, spokesman Donald Iloff told the Houston Business Journal.
He said in-person services that were suspended from March 15 through Oct. 18 due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacted "its ability to collect substantial donations during those services."
"Believing the shutdown would only last a few weeks, Lakewood did not initially apply for PPP assistance during the first half of the program," Iloff said in a statement. "However, as the shutdown persisted month after month, given the economic uncertainty, Lakewood finally applied for the PPP loan and has been able to provide full salaries and benefits including health insurance coverage to all of its employees and their families."
He added, "It is important to note that, since 2004, Pastors Joel and Victoria Osteen have not received salaries from Lakewood Church, and the PPP funds do not provide any personal financial benefit to them, whatsoever."
Osteen — whose sermons are seen around the world — is worth an estimated $100 million. He took the helm of Lakewood Church following the death of his dad, founding pastor John Osteen, in 1999.
The toothy televangelist had teamed up with Kanye West to host Lakewood Church's virtual Easter Sunday service in April — but West's appearance fell through due to social distancing issues, TMZ reported.
The service, however, was still star-studded, with performances by Mariah Carey and words from Tyler Perry.
The best-selling author came under fire in 2017 following accusations that he refused to open up his megachurch to Tropical Storm Harvey victims.
The Small Business Administration said it's approved more than 5 million loans through the $525 billion program, which ended in August.
Recipients included small businesses — as well as thousands of churches and other religious organizations and private schools.
About 1,500 religious organizations in the Houston area were approved for PPP loans, with 20 receiving loans of more than $1 million, the Houston Business Journal said.
Churches don't even pay taxes how are they getting PPP loans.

A modern life lived by natural time, dictated by the sun or moon, would be confusing. A conference call dialed at 9 a.m. in Boston would ring at the Springfield office at 8:54 a.m local time. A last-minute birthday text sent instantly from Philadelphia at 11:59 p.m. would need to read "belated" in New York City, as it would arrive at 12:03 a.m. local time.
Fortunately, those cities had all been operating on the same clock time for decades before long-distance communication became so ubiquitous and instantaneous. A 1918 federal law created the time zone, generally referred to as Eastern Standard, that operated on "the mean astrological time" along the 90th degree of longitude west of the meridian running through Greenwich, England, a definition that held for almost 90 years before being simplified.
Creating uniformity was a long, messy process, and one frequently seen as imperialistic, as University of Pennsylvania professor Vanessa Ogle details in her new book, "The Global Transformation of Time: 1870-1950." Railroads began standardizing times along their tracks in the 1880s, and governments soon followed, but not always in an orderly fashion. And citizens, who had spent their lives following the shadows of the sun, didn't always listen anyway.
The issue is still with us. This summer, North Korea announced a unique time zone for the country, while in the United States, the details of daylight saving time seem to change every few decades. The most recent tweak came in 2007, when Congress made it a month longer. That change didn't affect Arizona, which abandoned daylight saving time after trying it for just one year in 1967, except, of course, in the corner of the state occupied by the Navajo Nation, which does adhere to daylight saving time.
Ogle spoke with Ideas from her office in Philadelphia. Below is an edited excerpt.
IDEAS: We set the clocks back an hour this weekend. Would people before the late 19th century have thought this possible?
OGLE: The problem with imagining something like daylight saving was that you had to think of time no longer as indicated by natural time givers such as the sun or the moon, but rather by the mechanical time of the clock, which is basically a grid grafted onto natural rhythms. People had really tremendous difficulties in thinking that their rhythms of sleep and wake and eating would adapt to something like summer time. That was almost impossible for people to [adapt to] for several decades — much longer than historians have commonly assumed.
IDEAS: Did the shift from an agricultural to an industrial economy help people make that transition?
OGLE: Intuitively, it makes sense to think that working in a factory and following the dictate of the clock would make people internalize an understanding of time as abstract and detached from natural rhythms. But what I found when I read discussions from the late 19th and even the early 20th century, was that there wasn't necessarily this connection. People around the world could work in factories and subject their bodies and minds to factory discipline, but they still lived in multiple nonstandardized times. They still abided by natural time givers such as the sun and the seasons, and they couldn't imagine anything other than these kind of times ruling their lives.
IDEAS: People were switching between times in their daily lives?
OGLE: Once they understood that there was still the time of the seasons and nature and God in addition to abstract time, people were quite comfortable with thinking of themselves living under these parallel time regimes. In cosmopolitan cities like Beirut, it was particularly pronounced simply because of the variety of religions cohabiting there. You have Western Christians, Catholics and Protestants, but you also have Eastern Christians using a different calendar for instance. And then you have Islam. At this period, for practicing Muslims, life was still very much structured by the fivetimes daily prayer. People often made appointments by referring to prayer times and saying, "We will meet one hour after the noon prayer," rather than saying, "We'll meet at 1 o'clock." It was this multi-religious, multi-ethnic fabric of the city that really enhanced this.
IDEAS: Were governments effective at enforcing uniform time?
OGLE: The extent to which government could actually enforce these things was quite limited. Historians like to think of that period as one in which bureaucracy grew and states generally got stronger and had a greater presence in people's lives. That is certainly true, but time is a very particular thing to be legislated. Time is not like other kinds of laws because it has this very personal, social, cultural, and symbolic meaning.
IDEAS: How did governments select their countries' times?
OGLE: Regional and national concerns followed practical dictates of what works best in this particular territory, what is best for railways in this particular country, and so on. But then there were instances when time took on very identity-related, often charged meanings. The best known example is that the French objected to applying Greenwich time simply because it was "British time." France was one of the last countries in Western Europe to adopt a time zone in accordance with the Greenwich system, only in 1911.
IDEAS: What finally standardized international time zones?
OGLE: There was a very widespread impression, at least among the educated public in the United State and Western Europe, that the world was becoming more globalized and more interconnected. These people looked around and they saw empire, they saw more integrated world markets emerge, they saw steam ships and telegraphs and railways. So in this shrinking world, it was necessary to push through these progressive or rational projects, such as uniform time. Everybody has a time that can be easily compared and calculated anywhere in the world. That was the logic.
IDEAS: What did this mean for non-Westerners?
OGLE: This was not just a benevolent description of a world interconnecting, but rather there was this forced modernization: We do not tolerate those who object to essentially Euro-American progress being spread across the world. When Europeans looked around, they saw a world that was becoming smaller. To people in places like Beirut or in Beijing or somewhere in Japan, it meant something very different. It meant that they stood at the risk of falling victim to European imperial aspirations. To them, interconnectedness and globalization meant that they had to do something for self-improvement and self-strengthening in order to be able to withstand that challenge that was emanating from Europe. Arabs in places such as Beirut, Cairo, and Damascus were obsessed with clocks and watches. Tied to this interest, there's this discourse about Arab civilization being in need of better time management to help Arabs improve themselves so they would be able to be as successful as Europeans and not become victims of imperialism themselves.

If you are looking to minimize the number of social media mistakes you and your business could make then here are 10 of the most common social networking blunders with their potential solutions:
1) Putting the Same Messages on Every Social Media Platform: Some businesses still put the same messages they have about their brand on every platform. However, every social media network is different. For instance, if your message was longer than 140 characters it wouldn't be able to fit on Twitter. Therefore, it is worth your time to study and understand the nuances between each platform then adjust your message to suit and fit each social network accordingly.
2) Prioritizing Quantity: If you have a couple hundred followers who intend on being customers are much more significant than if you have thousands of followers who show little interest in having anything to do with your business. Therefore, instead of trying to play to a wide audience, limit your focus on targeting your demographic.
3) Posting in the Heat of the Moment: One major social media mistake is composing and posting a message when you are overcome by severe emotion and aren't thinking clearly. If one of your employees is angry or frustrated and is in charge of handling your social media be sure they are calm and collected before dealing with others and sending posts out.
4) Writing a Sub-par Bio: Your bio is the introduction to your business. It is your 'handshake.' Therefore, if people see that you have a weak bio they are less likely to follow you. Put the time in and think of a strong bio that captures the user's attention and excites their curiosity to find out more about your business.
5) Irregular Posting Schedule and Frequency: You never want to post too much or too little. You also don't want to post at odd hours where no one will be able to see your posts. Finding a balance between the two is important if you intend on leading a successful social media marketing campaign. Find the peak hours when most of your followers are online and post your content then.
6) Never Proofreading: Even though social media tends to have a nonchalant atmosphere, you don't want your tweets or posts to be riddled with grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. It reflects poorly on your business and could cost you a few customers who reason that if your business can't seem to focus on a simple detail like spelling a word correctly, how could your products and/or services be any different? Therefore, always be sure to proofread and fix mistakes before posting.
7) Using too much Automation: Automated tools are quite useful for your business. Yet, if relied on too much it can cause your social media profiles to appear spammy. To avoid this, just be sure that your automations don't get in the way of your authentic posts.
8) Not Engaging: You can be publishing terrific content, but if you're not engaging your audience then it will be as if that fine piece of content never existed. The next time you post content try to get a conversation going between readers. The more you lead and engage in conversation the more people will feel part of your business and will give others the incentive to join in.
9) Not Keeping Things Clear and Concise: If you need to say something lengthy it is better to put it in a blog post. Research shows that people on social media networks respond and engage positively with shorter, straight to the point, messages, than with long, verbose ones.
10) Misusing Different Features: No matter if it is an image, video, hashtag, etc. it is critical that you know the effect of different features that social media networks have. If you don't put in the time to familiarize yourself with these features and what purpose they serve then you are putting yourself and your business at a great disadvantage.
The good thing about mistakes is that they can be amended. Look out for errors when you're on social media. The less mistakes you make the greater your users' experience will be.

This carnival float was part of the Welwyn Hatfield Artspan festival which was the first Festival of the Arts organised for the district.
The festival took place from June 28th to July 12th 1980 and crammed a real cornucopia of all kinds of art, into its two week run.
The Welwyn Opera group was promoting "Rigoletto" which ran from 2nd to 5th July at the Campus West Theatre.
Did you participate in the production of Rigoletto, do you remember the days of the Welwyn opera, or were you in in the crowd watching the floats going by? We would love your memories.
