And yes, it can take a beating.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 23rd, Dec. 2013 Under News
The PlayStation 4 is a great console but it's still a device like any other, which means you'll want to take it places – especially on vacation – and it's highly susceptible to breaking. A Reddit user recently posted a strong solution for the same: a Pelican 1520 case.
According to the user, you can use the pluck out foam in whatever size required, and a TSA approved lock is used for sealing the case. Providing enough padding on all four sides, you'll need to take measurements for making room for cords and controllers. That means it'll be inspected and the user advises you to stick with a black case, rather than a yellow one, to avoid attracting attention.
You can pick up the case here, though you'll still need to roughly measure what you want to keep in it. But when it comes to protecting and safely transporting your PS4, there's no better solution. Let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Among the truly bizarre and insensitive comments coming from presidential candidates was one from former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. He asserted that no one in America has ever died because they didn't have healthcare.
Santorum, whose devotion to small government is legendary except when it comes to getting large federal-government grants for favored campaign donors, made the comment while speaking at an Iowa Christian college. (See the New York Times' reporting on how Santorum directed federal funds to big donors here.)
A report from Healthcare IT News covered follow-up reactions to Santorum's comment. The story quotes, among many others, a blogger you may have heard of:

One Direction's highly expected new video for their latest single 'Steal My Girl' is going to hit our screens on Friday 24th October and we're waiting this day with the same excitement and frenzy we wait the pizza guy with our delivery.
This "weird and wonderful" video (as the wise Ben Winston said) features the one and only Danny DeVito, Zayn wearing a headband and bouncing on a sumo fighter's belly, Harry sharing the scene with ballerinas and a leopard print coat as far as we know.
Just because we're not already over the edge of our sofa 1D delivered to us for our joy brand new snippets from the SMG video.
In the first one we found out that Liam is the power. In fact we can see him smashing shiny balls with all his power and this is just the representation of us and our ovaries during this teaser.
If you think it's enough you think wrong because Liam's daddy dance moves are on point. And sexy.
In the second one, released today, Zayn The Mystery's hand covered in gold is a sign of him going back to his original form of pure gold. Because there's no doubt that Zayn is actually made of gold.
Wanna see those two snippets?

If you are planning to ski outside of program days consider purchasing a Nordic Season Pass from Mount Washington.
If you plan to ski only on Program Days, Mount Washington Alpine Resort provides a special 10 week pass for any of our recreational programs that can only be used on the day of your program – either Saturday or Sunday for the whole day. Prices are as follows (all are plus taxes):

Season Rentals: See Mount Washington Alpine Resort website for seasonal rental prices. You will need to scroll all the way to the bottom to Nordic Specialty Passes.
Clothing: During the course of the 10-week season, expect to encounter all types of weather, with various combinations of sun, cold, wind, rain, and snow. Dressing in layers is a great way to keep warm and dry, and removing layers is an option if the weather is warmer than expected.
Remember to protect your eyes with sunglasses and your skin with sunscreen (despite the sun's rays being less strong generally in winter, dermatologists advise that due to the reflective nature of the snow protection is needed).

HOW DO I MAKE A LIVING as a FILMMAKER?
As a freelance filmmaker, I generate most of my income through client work. My 2013 documentary film Sriracha still earns revenue on several platforms. I also let YouTube run ads on many of my videos, but that revenue stream is not as strong as affiliate links.
What are affiliate links?
When you click one of my affiliate links, I may receive a commission for any purchase you make on that site—even if the purchase isn't the same product I linked you to. You don't pay any extra, but it's important that you know that your action may earn me a small commission fee from the retailer.
*From here down, every link is an affiliate link.*
Which retailers am I affiliated with?
I list all the filmmaking equipment I use on a site called Kit. Most of those product links point to B&H, some to Amazon. I'm an affiliate with each, so I receive a small percentage of any purchase you make.
Vimeo gives me a commission if you sign up for their Plus, PRO or Business plan. (I use Vimeo PRO.) You save 25% using my referral link.
I use a license-free music library called Artlist. It's $200/year to put as many songs as you want in your videos. By using my affiliate link, you get 14 months for the price of 12, and I get $20 when you sign up. In addition, my referrals have already earned me a lifetime subscription.
I have a filmmaking class for sale on CreativeLive. As the teacher, I'm paid a royalty for each sale, but also by referring you to their site, I can receive a commission if you sign up or purchase any class.
And I've done paid work for Panasonic. They've given me free cameras and lenses to shoot with.
First of all, it's required by the Federal Trade Commission. Whether I'm affiliate-linking, or talking about a product that I received for free—you need to know that financial relationship to judge my credibility.
I hope you find me sincere and trustworthy. I hope you find the content I share useful. And if you want an easy way to support my work, clicking an affiliate link does just that.

"Pearl, get back over here," Sam said hurriedly. "I paid good money for these CPAC tickets, and there's still a whole afternoon of seminars for us to attend.""Do we have to, Sam ?" Pearl asked pleadingly. "I'd really rather you take me shopping here, before we have to head back home. Haven't you heard enough of their stand for the Right to Bear Arms ? I know I have.""Pearl, the Second Amendment is nothing to take lightly," Sam answered firmly."I know that, Honey," Pearl admitted. "The speakers certainly made that point very clear all morning. In fact, as far as they are concerned the Second Amendment is the most important Constitutional Amendment of all, because if all of you Gun Lovers have got your military militia arms at home in your closets or under your beds, and concealed in your boots or the glove compartments of your vehicles, then according to Mr. La Pee-Air, and that Lush Lady, no matter what other Constitutional Amendments you may find yourselves running afoul of you can still shoot and kill anybody you please, and form a military militia on his say so on a Minute Man's notice in the name of your Constitutional Freedoms, whatever you may deem those freedoms or lack thereof to be.""And, from what I could tell, it is Mr. La Pee-Air who is in charge of telling all of y'all what those Constitutional Freedoms that get infringed upon are, because, thanks to Citizen's United, Mr. La Pee-Air has really been able to pay his way into great power and influence through the politicians he has bought off and owns through the years with his Special Interest Money, and through all of the guns he has made and sold to all of y'all who are addicted to the power you feel they give y'all to kill critters for food and trophies, and other critters and human beings who do or say things you don't like. And the more guns y'all own, the merrier you are and more powerful you feel. So why not have Guns for every meal. And for La Pee-Air's man, Trump, that would be a Full Meal Deal.""No need for you to be so sarcastic, Pearl," Sam grumbled."Oh yes there is, Sam," Pearl said curtly. "Seventeen more American Children and the Teachers who tried to protect them are dead. Dead, Sam. Gunned down by a Young Man who got all twisted up inside and went out and bought himself a Combat Weapon. Yes, a Combat Weapon, Sam. That's what an AK-15 is. It was created to murder as many folks as possible in the least amount of time in a War Time situation.""That Twisted Boy, and all of y'all Gun Lovers, have no Right at all to own and carry killing machines like that around.""And I do not think that teachers should be carrying guns around in their classrooms either. They are there to teach and develop a different kind of relationship with their Students than a Policeman or a Military man or woman is.""Just imagine all the things that could go wrong. What if a student got their hands on the Teacher's gun for one reason or another. Think of all of the ramifications for everyone involved.""What if a Teacher actually shot a Student ? What if a Teacher had a bad day and went on an unexpected rampage ? What if a Teacher's gun accidentally went off in a classroom or they shot the wrong student ? So many things could go wrong !""And Mr. La Pee-air, and the folks like that Lush Lady, got the Law changed that would allow anyone to legally sue any Arms Corporation for anything involving their products. So, the deck is really stacked against the Civilian population. Because all of us Non-Gun Lovers have to put up with all of the baloney and guff from all of y'all, any time we want something done about all of the mass murders taking place throughout our great nation, because of all of these Combat Weapons on the loose here, there and everywhere else !""And Sam, I am not a Conservative. I'm a Middle-of-the-Roader. I'm Conservative about some things, and what y'all call Liberal on other things. And let's get another thing straight. What y'all call Liberal I call Christ-like."Christ was all for Social Justice. He was all for everyone treating everyone else as their Brothers and Sisters. He was the great Healer, and Life Giver. And, Sam, if you ask me, Christ would be appalled with all of these murders due to these Combat Weapons. Heck, he'd be upset about all of the killing that takes place on this whole planet every ding-dong day over this Idea or that piece of Territory or Treasure or Seat of Power. He would simply be appalled. In fact, if He hadn't already risen from his Tomb, he'd be rolling around in it right now at this very moment.""Pearl, it is my God given, Divine Right to own a Gun. To own as many Guns as I see fit to. And to bear arms against any Tyrant that comes my way.""How is it your divine right by God Almighty to own a Gun, Sam ?" Pearl asked hotly. "Did you pop out of your Mama's womb holding a Gun that God gave to you on your way out ?""Of course not, Pearl. And don't you bring my Mama into this or God either for that matter.""Well, of course not, is right, Sam, because I have heard you call your Mama a Tyrant from time to time when she asked you to do this or that chore for her on your way home from work. And I have never heard you mention wanting to bear arms against her !""And, you, Sam, and Mr. La Pee-Air, and that Lush Lady, are the one's who brought God and your Divine Right to own a Gun into this conversation in the first place.""Sam, what if one of those dead Children had been our Son, Charlie ? Would you still feel the same about all of this Hogwash your swallowing, and this CPAC, NRA Gun Loving gang of yours ? They are all profiting off of and contributing to the murder of our Children, and other Civilians. Don't you see that ?""I call B.S., Pearl !" Sam said."Who's B.S. ?" Pearl asked."No, I call B.S." Sam repeated."I heard what you said the first time, Sam. Who's B.S. and why are they so important that you have to call them right in the middle of our conversation ?""Oh, forget it.""Well, I will. It wasn't me who wanted to call them to begin with,""You are the most exasperating woman sometimes, Pearl.""Well, right back at you, Sam.""And as far as I'm concerned, all of those Automatic Killing Machines need to be banned everywhere in America. They need to hold Collection Parties and pay everyone for the Combat Killing Machines that they own to be turned into our Law Enforcement folks. And no one anywhere should be allowed to sell them to Civilians legally without spending a long time in prison.""And as for Mr. La Pee-Air…well, he can just go Pee-In-The-Air for all I care!""Don't you mean Piss in the Wind ?""You know I don't normally use words like that, Sam. But, yes, that's what I mean.""Now, will you be taking me shopping or not. Because if not, I'm calling a taxi.""Alright, alright, already !" Sam said picking up the keys to his Ford pick-up truck as he headed for the hotel room's door. "There's a taxidermist shop I'm wanting to run by while we're here anyway. I've heard they do a better job than Sid's operation.""Sounds like a Compromise to me. Alright, I'm fine with that as long as I do not have to sit through another one of those upsetting rah-rah seminars.""You've got a deal."Pearl gave Sam a kiss on the cheek as she met him by the door, "I just love a man who knows how to Compromise.""Compromise ? You're looking at a man who's been licked, plain and simple," Sam chuffed."But I love plain and simple, Sam.""Ha ! Pearl, there is nothing plain nor simple about you. Nothing at all."

Guess who is BACK??
TNF- Why the comeback Sarah?
SC- It's not a comeback necessarily - I was just presented with an opportunity to help the Sixers girls out for a few games and wanted to see how much stronger my mind has gotten over the last year and if I still have the ability to play at a high level.
TNF- How did all of this come about?
SC- Ben Sawyer gave me a call out of the blue after noticing I played a grade game for Penrith. He asked if I'd be interested in playing the last round and we took it from there.
TNF- What have you been doing in your short lived retirement from cricket?
SC- I'm currently working as a School Learning Support Officer at a Juvenile Justice Detention Centre. I do that full time and I also coach Crossfit and compete locally as well.
TNF- What Training have you been doing yo get into shape for the comeback?
SC- I've been training all Crossfit. A huge focus has been on increasing my strength while maintaining my metabolic conditioning. Physically I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. I've joine the Sixers girls for three sessions now and had a decent bowl and hit so I'm feeling somewhat confident leading in to my first game back.
TNF- You have been back playing some grade cricket of late, has it been enjoyable?
SC- Grade cricket has been the reason for my call up. I've played a few games here and there - mostly the t20 component. One day games are far to long for my liking now!

Why the Job Market is Changing
The traditional big firm hiring model -- focused on law school pedigree and grades -- does a poor job of selecting candidates who will succeed in today's legal marketplace. That could mean a dramatic shift in the near future away from the most prestigious law schools.
The law firm world that we have all known is changing, fueled by new economic realities. Law firms are beginning to adapt to a new reality. And that makes it hard for law students to understand the part they care about the most - the entry-level hiring marker.

Members of Lindfield Bonfire Society will be breaking with tradition at this year's celebrations on Monday 5th November.
For the first time ever, part of the firework display will be fired electronically.
Traditionally every firework in the spectacular display is set off by hand by highly skilled bonfire society members. This year, however, the society is trialling a new electronic method to increase the skills of the firing team and to prepare for a possible future health and safety rule which would prevent firework displays from being hand fired.
The event will also commemorate several longstanding members who have passed away this year, as well as the centenary of the WWI Armistice.
The programme cover, designed by Leesa Le May, marks 100 years of Votes for Women and the First World War armistice, and children of all ages are invited to colour in the picture and enter a competition. Entries should be dropped off at Masters & Son, Lewes Road, Lindfield before 18th November.
As usual the event will begin with the judging of the fancy dress competition in the King Edward Hall at 6.30pm. There are classes (and prizes) for children up to 15 years, adults and groups.
Bonfire societies from Chailey, Burgess Hill and South Heighton, and the Burgess Hill Youth Marching Band, will be joining the torchlight procession which will leave the King Edward Hall, via Black Hill, past The Witch and stopping at Hickmans Lane to re-torch before proceeding down the High Street and on to the Common.
6.30pm – Fancy Dress Competition (KEH)
7.30pm – Torchlight Procession starts
8.15pm – Lighting of the Bonfire
8.30pm – Grand Firework Display
9pm – End of show
*All timings are approximate and subject to weather conditions.
The High Street and Black Hill will be closed for the entire evening, parking in the village will be restricted and visitors are advised to walk to the event.
Parking and a viewing area will be available for disabled visitors. Contact the society for more details. The street collection on the night will support local charities: Chestnut Tree House, Court Meadow RDA, C.L.A.P.A., Kangaroos & Orchard House.
Advice for a happy Bonfire Night:
• Don't bring sparklers, fireworks or bangers into the village or on to the Common
• Leave your pets at home
• Drones are not allowed at the event
• Be considerate to local residents when arriving, leaving and during the event

Yesterday, today, tomorrow: How about exploring 'time' through art
Jan 03, 2015 15:33 IST
The Raqs Media Collective's solo show at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) in Gurgaon is like an extended conversation around the concepts of time. More than fifty works in a range of media - video, installations, mixed media assemblages, sound, photography, print and sculpture are on display. The show concludes on February 8, 2015. (HT Photos) | THE IMMINENT... Ensemble of 18 renditions of the 'Exit' pictogram, 2010 The Imminent Departure of Anybody, Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and others, is a reminder that in life every now and then, one can find a way out of a situation.
THE NOORONIHAR & PARIBANO TRANSPORT COMPANY: Kilim, embroidery, text, 2012 The artists want the viewer to join them on an imaginary, uplifting and optimistic flight of fantasy. The concept of a flying carpet from the fairy tale Arabian Nights is re-imagined in current times. The artists fantasise that princesses Nooronihar and Paribano from the tales, run a transport company, with flying carpets for hire. The idea is to instill faith that one can take wings and fly anywhere one wants to.
NIGHT & DAY, DAY & NIGHT: 24-hour clock, an installation, 2014 A big clock, with 24 words in the Devanagri script replacing the usual digits, forms the focal point of the exhibition. Words such as pran (life), tithi (date), ritu (season), try to sum up various notions of time. According to the artists, time could appear short for someone hence they relate to it as shran (second), while it could mean an eternity for someone, who would then, view it as yug (century). The clock, like all things symbolic, remains open to interpretation.
ACTIVO Y PASIVO (ASSETS AND DEBTS): 10'x10'x7' wood and glass room, 2014 A room with wallpaper may appear both expansive and constrictive depending on how you view it. Think of it as a riddle in which the walls are firmly plastered with wallpaper as if someone has closed all doors, but with a possibility of escape from closure. If you look closely, the room folds in on itself, as well as multiplies, just as the concept of time does.The assets-and-debts connection draws from the fact that in life we are always calculating loss or gain.
UNTOLD INTIMACY OF DIGITS: Animation, archival trace, video loop, 2011 The striking handprint against an azure backdrop has an eerie, intriguing quality about it. The animation is explained via a video loop and has a back story. This is the first ever handprint taken of a Raj Konai, an Indian, way back in 1858, for forensic purposes. It is currently in the custody of the Francis Galton Collection of the University College of London.

Forward Prize-shortlisted poet Hannah Lowe offers her top tips to young poetry writers.
Hannah Lowe (born 1976) is a British writer, known for her collection of poetry Chick (2013) and family memoir Long Time, No See (2015).
Lowe was born in Ilford, Essex, in 1976. She taught English, and went on to teach Creative Writing at Oxford Brookes University. She began writing poetry at the age of 29 after her Jamaican-Chinese father died and her English mother had a stroke.
Following a suggestion by John Glenday at a course in 2010, she began to write about her father and this formed her debut collection Chick (Bloodaxe Books, 2013). This work was shortlisted for the Forward and Fenton Adelburgh First Collection Prizes. In September 2014, the Poetry Book Society included Lowe in its list of Next Generation Poets, published each decade.
Lowe's family memoir Long Time, No See was published by Periscope in July 2015 and was featured on BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week. Lowe cites Gerard Manley Hopkins, Anne Sexton, and Mark Doty as influences for her work.
Hannah offers the following tips to novice writers who are starting out on their poetic journey.
1. Read!
Read lots of different poems, from books at school, home, the library, bookshops, or poems you find online. The Poetry Library in London and the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh are great places to start. Look at their websites if you can't visit them. Read poems for adults as well as for children. What do you like? What makes a good poem in your opinion? Read poems aloud so you can hear their sound effects and music. Learn a poem off by heart and see how you find reciting it from memory
2. Write!
To be a poet, you have to write poetry. This may sound obvious, but try to make writing your habit. This might be deciding to write a poem a week, or keeping a notebook where you scribble down ideas which are bolts from the blue, or things you see written on the wall, or snatches of overheard conversation – any of these might find their way into one of your poems.
3. What do you know?
Write about it! Many poets draw on their own life experience to write poems. Choose to write about your grandmother, your brother, a good friend, or the memory of a dramatic incident, or a place or an object you love.
4. What don't you know?
Write about it! The imagination is a wonderful thing and it's fine to allow yours free rein and write about whatever you want – a monster, or life on the bottom of the ocean, or what goes on in your strange neighbour's house. Things you do know about may well slip into these sorts of poems. The important thing is to have fun with your writing
5. What can you see?
I often think of poetry as "painting with words" – the poet's job is to show the reader the people, places and events of the poem. Even the feelings. Try to get the images you have in your mind down on paper. It's not just the sense of sight that can work brilliantly in poems – think about including details of taste, touch, hearing and smell as well. Remember you don't have to use flowery or special language – poetry can (and should) be written in every day language
6. Redraft, redraft and redraft again
Your first draft won't be perfect – it's better to write freely, without worrying about spelling or line length or getting exactly the right expression – these things can be worked on as you redraft. Many poets redraft tens of times, often cutting down or making small changes – expect to do the same. Poems can be very short but it often takes a long time to write a good short poem.
7. Read your poems aloud
One of the best ways of editing is to read aloud, listening to the sound and music of your poem. Does the rhythm sound right? Have you chosen exactly the words you want? Say your poems aloud when walking down the street, or in the bath, or whisper them before you go to sleep. Sometimes it's easier to make the changes in your head, than on the paper. But make sure you remember what the changes are!
8. Use writing exercises
Sometimes you might be stuck for an idea for a poem. The mind is like an engine – sometimes it needs cranking up or stimulating to get it going. There's plenty of writing poetry exercises on the internet (or your teachers may have ideas). Here's one I learnt from the poet George Szirtes:
Follow these instructions:
• Choose a number between 1 and 20 (eg 15)
• Choose a number between 1 and 100 (eg 30)
• Choose a colour (eg purple), a mood (eg sad), a kind of weather (eg sunny), a place (eg the laundrette), an animal (eg a rat)
Now: The first number is the number of lines your poem should have. All the other choices have to be in the poem eg can you write a sad 15 line poem about a man who goes to the laundrette every day to avoid the rat in his flat? He's washing 30 pairs of socks a week (some of them purple) to keep out of the house, all through summer. These might be the basic ingredients – where you go with it is up to you…
9. Experiment
Try writing different sorts of poems – poems that rhyme (poems don't have to rhyme), poems with very long lines or in tall narrow columns; try writing in traditional forms with rhyme schemes, or poems that are shaped to match their content (concrete poetry).
10. Enjoy, learn and share
It takes time to become a good poet. Don't worry if your poems don't turn out the way you want. Keep reading and writing. Enjoy the process of learning about poetry and, when you are ready, share what you've written. You might look for other poets, join a group, or even start your own.

My Experience Riding In The Cockpit Of A Boeing 787 Dreamliner During Take-Off!!!
I've had a number of experiences I never thought would happen in my life. Some are more important than others (meeting a great woman and having kids). Ranked pretty closely behind those are things like being able to ride in the cockpit of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner during take-off. Talk about awesome!

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) was widely considered to be the decisive vote in the confirmation battle over now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The political world held its breath waiting for her decision and intensely watched her lengthy speech last Friday afternoon.
However, the latest ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that 53% of voters have either never heard of her or don't know enough to have an opinion of her. The others are evenly divided with 23% voicing a favorable opinion and 23% offering an unfavorable view.
Those overall numbers are little changed from earlier in the confirmation process (see topline results for Collins and others).
However, unsurprisingly, the partisan numbers have shifted. Previously, when Collins was seen as undecided on the Kavanaugh confirmation, she earned better ratings from Democrats than Republicans. Now, among GOP voters, she is viewed favorably by 42% and unfavorably by 10%. Among Democrats, just 10% have a favorable opinion while 36% say the opposite (see crosstab results).
The national survey of 1,000 Registered Voters was conducted October 7-8, 2018 by ScottRasmussen.com and HarrisX, a polling company specializing in online surveys (see Methodology). It has a 3.1 percentage point Margin of Error with a 95% level of confidence.
The poll found even lower name recognition for other Senators who were considered undecided during much of the Kavanaugh confirmation process. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is unknown by 62% of voters nationwide; Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) by 63%; Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) by 70%; and, Senator Joe Donnelly (D-IN) by 72%.
With the exception of Donnelly, the partisan numbers generally lined up with the person's vote on Kavanaugh. Manchin is viewed more favorably by Republicans, Heitkamp and Murkowski more favorably by Democrats. For Donnelly, there was very little difference.
Following the Kavanaugh hearings, Mitch McConnell's favorability improved so much that he is now the least unpopular Congressional leader. Lindsey Graham, another Republican Senator often viewed skeptically by GOP voters, saw a similar surge in support following his performance at the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The Beginning
One autumn eve in 2005, London, too impatience to wait at a bus stop, a decision to walk the bus route led to six hours of drifting across the streets into the small hours of the morning. Surprised at the thrill and discovery of the peace and beauty of the city, it was recreated the following summer, for 12 hours, from 6pm to 6 am and The Midnight Run was born. In light of the political and artistic movement of The Situationists, but Remixed to London 40 years later, The Midnight Run aims to negate the frenzy and hysteria of mass media, pop culture, hype and reality tv for actual reality, for the simplicity and intimacy of walking and talking. The idea is to reclaim the streets, dispel the notion of danger after dark, try to discover after dark. It is to inhabit the confines of glass, concrete, steel and structure, as a child does a maze; with as much innocence and wonderment as is natural. It is to situate meetings of strangers and watch them become friends in a short time. It asks contemporary artist to interact with the city, to respond to it by creating art (there by documenting) based on experiences within The Run. It is about living the magic of the space of the city with its inhabitants. In the Midnight motto, 'star' can be taken literally, or as a metaphor for art, artists, experiences and the people in the shadow of the city, in which case it takes on a beauty and importance:
The Midnight Run //
Cause we can't see stars for fumes
we turn to smashed glass, believing
shards shine like constellations do.

Extended-Release PSE Points Acura At First Tamper-Resistant Formulation NDA
This article was originally published in The Tan Sheet
Executive Summary
Like extended-release PSE products already available OTC, a product with tamper-resistant formulation labeling must go through the NDA process. "The novelty of this to the FDA is what testing you do to demonstrate meth resistance … what labeling do you put on a product?" says Acura CEO Bob Jones.

"I've always felt this way, slightly suffocated that is."
This is a snippet I found from a journal of mine from years ago after recently having come across all of my journals dating back to middle school and overwhelming my self with all that is my adolescent (and current) wallowing; things haven't changed much as you can see. I wanted to take photos inspired by this musing since it hit me really hard when I came across it. I don't know why but I haven't often feel comfortable in the location that I am. It wasn't until I went to New York for the first time many years ago that I actually felt like I could breath and it was one of the most remarkable feeling's I've ever felt. There's not really a point in me telling you all this other than to give you back story about why I decided to take these photos. They're kind of strange and confusing at first glance but over time I've come to greatly enjoy them, I hope you do too.

Sync is supported on Azure's Virtual Machine (VM) offering - simply ensure your VM is running a compatible Windows Server image.
Note that Sync installation on Azure App Service or Azure Cloud Services is NOT currently supported.
There's no major difference between setting Sync on a local Windows server or an Azure VM, so all steps in the installation guide still apply.
Note that you will need Administrator level access to your target VM in order to install Appenate Sync successfully.
This is because several steps in the installation require Administrator access, and there is not a way around this requirement.
In terms of the SQL Server requirement of Sync, you can address this in two ways on Azure:
- Run your own SQL Server installation in Azure.
This can be achieved by either installing SQL Server alongside Sync in the same VM as Sync (e.g. using SQL Server Express) or by running a separate SQL Server VM.
A dedicated SQL Server VM is recommended if you expect to be processing several thousand rows daily through Sync.
- Use Azure SQL Database, which is Microsoft's managed SQL Server option.
This is a flexible database option which includes guaranteed high availability and is easily scalable.
However it can be more expensive than running your own SQL Server instance, and the performance of SQL Database can be disappointing, depending on the price tier you use.
Our recommendation would be to try the SQL Database option first since SQL Database is much faster and simpler to set up.
However, you should field test to see if the price/performance combination fits your requirements.
If not, then simply export backups of the Sync databases and import these into your own SQL Server installation of choice.
Once you have a SQL Server instance via either option above, you will simply need the relevant SQL Server connection strings to complete your Sync installation.

Hello to all the Advertiser readers.
Well, Katie won her battle and with great verve. For a boxer, she is highly unusual. She is such a valiant person but, as well as that, she is so modest. We will continue to follow your career, Katie, and look forward to next April when the next big fight takes place.
We had four terrific rugby wins again last weekend. I had the good luck to see the Munster versus Leicester Tigers match, as I was out with Aengus and Lisa and the children for the Sunday afternoon and it was on Sky Sports, so I followed it all. It was a big effort for Munster, because Leicester Tigers were on home ground and were determined to revenge the Aviva defeat from the week before. And so, not alone were the Leicester Tigers team in high form, but the whole crowd were in full fettle, cheering them on and shouting and roaring. Anyway, in the end, Munster won and well done to them.
Likewise, Leinster had a huge battle against Exeter in the Aviva Stadium last Saturday. Exeter had been used to having it their own way in this competition, and now it is hoped that Leinster will secure the top position there. Remarkably, Leinster came from way down at half-time as Exeter seemed on the rampage, allied to the fact that Johnny Sexton was knocked out early. So, all in all, it was a valiant effort.
On Friday night, Ulster got a bonus point over Harlequins and Saturday afternoon Connacht hammered Brive again, which will guarantee them a spot in the quarter finals of that European competition. All of this fine rugby makes for great practice for the Irish national team for 2018, when the Six Nations and other competitions open up.
Also, when I was out with Aengus and Lisa and family on Sunday, I saw the GAA Leinster Club Final, where St Loman's of Mullingar were playing Moorefield of Kildare. This was an astonishing match. St Loman's were winning by a fine score with a minute to go to full-time, with Moorefield five points behind them as the game went into injury time. You could see, watching the match, that the Moorefield supporters had begun to leave the ground, but suddenly their team managed to pull it off, scoring one goal and four points without a reply to claim the Leinster club title.
To look at the faces of the poor St Loman's players as they fell to the ground. It was an unbelievable match. The pace of the game was all in favour of St Loman's, and, suddenly, to have it all turned on its head was heartbreaking. I am sure they are very disappointed and even outraged in Mullingar.
As we are dealing with sports, I would like to give three cheers to the National Curriculum and Assessment Board (NCCA ), which has announced that Physical Education (PE ) will be made an exam subject in state examinations. I was really pleased to read about it, and I am delighted that the initiative had been taken by the NCCA, which I set up by statute in 1989.
Gemma Hussey, as Minister, had set it up as the The Curriculum and Examinations Board (CEB ), but when I came along we set it up in 1989 with a firm purpose of giving them work to do, to assess and change where they could, and innovate, where they could, the national curriculum for the state examinations.
Throughout the years, they have done just that and always with very good results, but this PE initiative is, I think, one of the best. They are going to have it at a written level and also, of course, at a practical level, where there will be two modules.
I hope the programme will also contain modules of mindfulness and general kindness to others, all of which combine to make a person be physically and mentally alert and correct. It is hoped that this subject will be fully integrated within two to three years into the secondary school system, and what a joy it will be for those many people who are looking to go forward into careers within the physical education scene. There are so many of them now, and so many well-trained young people need it to fill those positions. So, well done to the NCCA, and I wish them luck with their imaginative gesture. All my grandchildren are into games so there is no doubt that this will be a great opening for them.
We talked together so often last autumn about Catalonia and the various tensions that were so evident there. Now, the general election is on this coming Thursday, December 21, so we will be eagerly awaiting that result, whether Catalonia wishes to get full independence, or whether to stay entwined with central government in Madrid. That should make for a very interesting result, and it has crept up unnoticed on us.
Despite all the joy of Christmas and children and all the fun of that, it is still, essentially, at its heart a lonely time, and I feel it every year as I'm sure do many, many of my readers too. All we can do is count our blessings and the positive things which are in our lives, and which help to keep the loneliness at bay.
Talk with you all next week.
In the meantime, have a happy and peaceful Christmas.
Take care of yourselves,

Something magical happens when you ask a person with a disability about their dreams. Rarely do they get to express their wants, needs, dreams and desires.The Person Center Plan is an exceptional program for implementing a positive plan in a safe, and possible arena.
Recently, our son Phillip updated his person centered plan at the Academy for Social Inclusion at Kennesaw State University. The entire class spent time with trained facilitators to discover what paths are possible for living the lives that they want.
Phillip and his peers want the same things most of us do, a good job, decent housing and a healthy social network. Phillip first wrote a plan two years ago. Then, he needed to achieve simpler tasks like riding the bus independently with his power much, now he's ready for the big one….getting a job. Within two weeks, he is supposed to get a plan for an internship that could lead to lifelong employment.
