There are many different species, and their size, color, and appearance can vary greatly. Request a Quote Scorpions picture 1 Scorpions in your home, yard, or garage? Venomous scorpion stings can be painful and can be a health hazard. Call your local Critter Control office today at 1 800-CRITTER for effective scorpion removal and exclusion services. Call For A Fast & FREE Phone Estimate Today 1.800.274.8837 (No Cats & Dogs) Testimonials Toggle Appearance With their unique look, scorpions are easily recognizable. The pests have two large pinchers at the front of their body and a curved tail with a stinger. Scorpions are usually around three inches long, but some grow up to seven inches in length. They may be yellow, reddish-brown, or black in color. Toggle Habitat Inside the United States, scorpions typically thrive in hot, dry climates such as the Southwest. However, the pests do not live strictly in desert areas. Also found in deciduous forests, grasslands, and mountains, scorpions can live in many different habitats. Toggle Entry Are scorpions known to enter homes or yards? Preferring the outdoors, scorpions live under rocks and brush. Residents may carry them inside with firewood or find them crawling through an open door. Some scorpions are adept climbers. Still, their initial instinct is to flee from people and they do not nest in homes. Toggle Damage Do scorpions harm people or property? It is rare to find a scorpion indoors. While the pests cause minimal property damage, they can injure people. Scorpions are venomous with stings that may cause swelling, pain, or more serious allergic reactions. Toggle Control and Safety Mowing grass and removing debris from the yard will reduce potential hiding spots for a scorpion. These pests are nocturnal and hibernate during the winter, so encounters often occur on warm evenings. Toggle Prevention and Removal Homeowners can keep scorpions away by securing doors and windows. For help removing scorpions safely, contact your local pest control specialists. This type of pest control is not available in all markets. Please contact your nearest Critter Control location to see if traditional pest control service is available in your area. Scorpions Quicklinks

Change of Step first came together in autumn 2014 with the objective to showcase the beauty of Scottish highland dancing for a wide audience.
Our six founding members were brought together through the initiative of six-time World Champion Marielle Lespérance. Many of our members have known each other since childhood; over the years, we competed against each other, performed with one another, and worked side by side in dance studios together, forming strong friendships along the way. We come from different places in Ontario and Nova Scotia, have been trained by different teachers, and each have a unique dance story, but we share a deep passion for highland dance.
We are all highly accomplished dancers. In competition, our members have won numerous regional, provincial, national, and international championship titles. We also have extensive international performance experience: we have delighted audiences at Parliament Hill on Canada Day, in the Vancouver Olympics, at the Dollywood Festival of Nations in Tennessee, in the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and in the finals of So You Think You Can Dance Canada.... among countless other performances in venues big and small.
As Change of Step, we perform rhythmic, intricate choreography that is grounded in a deep appreciation for traditional music, and showcases the strength and grace of modern highland dancing (with some step dancing added for good measure!). We are dedicated to collaborating with other artists to develop innovative and memorable performances that inspire youth and adults alike to be proud of their cultural heritage.
Our mission is to put world-class highland dancing in the spotlight!

virgin coconut oil
The oil is called Virgin because it is extracted from a single press from fresh coconut meat that is grated and dried for a couple of hours at a temperature lower than 40 degrees Celsius.
As there is no second press and the extraction temperatures are low, the yield per kg is much lower than other commercially used processes. This explains the higher price tag for Virgin coconut oil.
Wet processing or centrifugal processing (used by several, cheaper brands) can also yield good quality, clear, Virgin coconut oil, but the moisture content is higher as the coconut milk is also used in the extraction. Due to this the oil has a tendency to turn rancid/fermented.
In the production of Virgin coconut oil the dry processing temperature is maintained at less than 40 degrees Celsius, so there is no chance for the aroma or coconut flavour (volatile molecules) to evaporate. Because the whole process is completed within a couple of hours, the chance for rancidity/fermentation is almost nil.
If an oil claims to be 'pure' or 'Virgin' and organic, it must retain the smell of fresh coconuts. If it does not have this aroma, it cannot be a Virgin coconut oil.
Three By One Coconut Oil has kept the fresh coconut aroma and taste. It is a RAW oil.

If you're like most parents, you're always looking for healthier snacks to satisfy your kids' cravings (and your own). Television commercials and other marketing campaigns tote a variety of snacks easily found in grocery stores, but a quick peek at the nutrition facts of these foods might make you raise your eyebrows. There are other, healthier options to choose which are as convenient, like turkey jerky!
The convenient packaging and finger-friendliness of jerky make it great for group events and gatherings. Plus, if you buy turkey jerky in bulk, you can save money too. A few of the reasons that turkey jerky is particularly healthy are below.
As leaner meat, turkey makes for great jerky. This lean meat contains less fat than other jerkies such as beef jerky and much less fat than other snack foods like potato chips or cookies.
Since turkey jerky contains a very high protein, it assists in the maintenance and promotion of muscle growth while satisfying your appetite in a pinch. This means that it's a particularly beneficial snack to enjoy between meals since it will satiate you and can help to prevent overeating.
On average, a one-ounce serving of turkey jerky has only 100 calories. This makes turkey jerky a guilt-free snack that will keep you satisfied and energetic.
Turkey even beats out its lean meat partner, chicken, in the amino acid department. Turkey contains thousands of milligrams of various amino acids, which the building blocks of proteins and largely responsible for our body's growth and repair.

Winter is not over yet and the team at Ride Like A Girl have been feeling a bit low on energy and honestly quite chilled to the bone.
There is nothing more comforting than having a slow cooked meal permeate your living space with smells so divine as this soup recipe I have prepared today.
Thank goodness we get to taste test all our yummy ideas right here as we make them.
Seriously though, slow cooked comfort food is so good for the body and the soul.
We have not entered salad season yet, thank goodness for that.
Indian Inspired Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Soup
Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free
Serves 4 bowls.
- 1kg of pumpkin diced
- 500gm of sweet potato diced
- 1 cup of adzuki beans (dry)
- 1 cup of coconut milk (you can use cream but use less or more to taste)
- 1-2 cups of boiling water to add last
- 1 orange
- 2 cloves garlic
- small chunk of ginger
- coriander bunch
- tablespoon of coconut oil
- tablespoon of mustard seeds
- tablespoon of coriander seeds
- tablespoon of fennel seeds
- tablespoon of vegeta(vegetable stock)
- teaspoon of turmeric
- teaspoon of Ayurvedic Curry Powder (includes cumin, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon leaf, tumeric, black cumin, ajwain, mustard seeds, caraway seeds, cinnamon bark, cardamon, cloves, ginger, fenugreek, nutmeg, mace, star anise, long pepper, nigella, curry leaf, chilli, asafoetida)
- Slow Cooker preferable
- Chopping board
- Chefs knife
- wooden spoon
- cup and spoon for measuring
- Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil into slow cooker turned on HIGH.
Finely chop garlic, ginger and coriander. Add this to the warmed coconut oil and stir through.
- Now add all the spices including the vegetable stock powder and stir through again and add the cup of adzuki beans.
- Slice and dice all your peeled pumpkin and sweet potato. At this point you could also add potato or leek…or other vegetables of your choice. Add this straight away to theherbs and spice mix.
- Peel and dice 1 orange and add to the mix.
- Finally add 1 cup of coconut milk and add the final amount of boiling water so that the vegetables are only just covered with liquid.
- Put the lid on the slow cooker and leave on appropriate setting to ensure it is ready for when you need it. I made this at 10am this morning and want to eat it for lunch so I kept it on high.
- It is ready when the beans are soft and you can use a masher to mix the soup into a lumpy hearty meal.

Variations and helpful hints.
Add any influence you like by preparing your herbs and spices base to reflect the taste. An easy alternative would be Thai!
Using the Ayurvedic Curry powder is an easy way to cover all the spices for Indian, but even using a few from the list will mean your soup will last great.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, just get a pot and you will need to stir and revisit throughout the cooking process. I would still recommend 'slow cooking' this baby, and having it on the lowest heat setting possible. Or better still, when prepared fully in pot, transfer to oven proof container (if the pot has metal handles keep it in this with foil on top) with lid and slow cook in oven.

SWECO canteen, Oslo
Choice of materials is a part of the brand identity
Hydro is a fully integrated aluminum company with 35,000 employees in 40 countries. FabLab Design was tasked with renewing the reception area and lobby in the headquarters located at Drammensveien 260 in Oslo.
This is a landmark building for Hydro, where aluminum, steel, glass and stone were the main materials used. The entrance area opens up into an impressive atrium with high glass ceilings and lots of light. The challenge was that these materials lacked warmth. Our ambition was to create a space that was welcoming, and which supports visitors needs as they sit, wait or work. The entrance had to create a positive first impression that welcomes and controls the flow of visitors. For employees the reception area is also an extension of office space which can be used for informal meetings.
A deeper and warmer color palette was chosen, soft materials, wool rugs and textiles. The large atrium area was divided into practical zones suited to small group meetings, individual work or reading areas. A functional solution that is also decorative, even without visitors. Doormats and carpet runners were also designed as graphic, decorative elements, in which the stripes in the carpet fabric reference features in the architecture.

'Debi', the biggest blockbuster of the last year, is now set to be exclusively available on Grameenphone's online streaming platform Bioscope from this February 14. To make it happen, Bioscope and the 'Debi' team have signed an agreement at GP House in the capital's Bashundhara Residential area recently, said a press release.
Jaya Ahsan, along with her team, and the representatives from Bioscope's platform partner Bongo were present at the signing ceremony on January 31.
'Debi' was released on October 19, 2018. Since then, it has been one of the most talked-about and crowd-pleasing films and earned tremendous admiration from both national and international audience. The film is based on a famous novel 'Debi' by Humayun Ahmed, which features the iconic character, Misir Ali. Directed by Anam Biswas, the film stars Chanchal Chowdhury and Jaya Ahsan, two of the most prolific and versatile actors of present time.
Jaya Ahsan said, "I first read the book a long time ago and it's one of the most enigmatic stories of the 'Misir Ali' series and when the role was offered to me, I felt honoured and privileged to play 'Ranu'. It was challenging to portray her character on screen as we needed the audience to feel the paranormal and psychological trauma she was going through each day of her life. But I immensely enjoyed the role and I am delighted to see that the hard work of the entire 'Debi' family has paid off pretty well."
Android users can download the Bioscope Live app from Google Play Store and iOS users can download from the Apple Store to enjoy the film. The film is also available on the Bioscope.

Google officially confirmed on Monday that Android 8.0 'O' is called Oreo, putting an end to the speculations floating ever since Google announced the first developer preview of Android 8.0 Oreo earlier this year. For those who've no idea, Oreo is a commercial brand of cookie owned by Nabisco. It isn't the first time Google partnered some brand to adopt the trademarked name as the name for its release. In 2013, Google partnered Nestle to name Android 4.4 after KitKat.
Google also released final Android 8.0 Oreo system images for devices like Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player, Pixel C, Pixel (Review), and Pixel XL (Review). They're available to download at https://developer.android.com/about/versions/o/download.html. Those who have signed up for the beta program shall receive the Android 8.0 Oreo OTA update anytime soon. Google also said it's pushing the sources to Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for everyone.
"We've also been working closely with our partners, and by the end of this year, hardware makers including Essential, General Mobile, HMD Global Home of Nokia Phones, Huawei, HTC, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp and Sony are scheduled to launch or upgrade devices to Android 8.0 Oreo," said Google.
Also Read: Top 5 features of Google Android Oreo and why you should upgrade
The Android 8.0 Oreo has some noteworthy features to offer such as picture-in-picture (PIP), so users can continue watching a video while they're accessing some other app. It has Autofill for helping users you navigate tasks seamlessly. Notification dots, on the other hand, let you tap to see what's new in your apps via notifications without opening the app.
There are many exciting features in Android 8.0 Oreo that we're yet to talk about. We'll talk more about all these features in detail once we install the latest version of Android on our Google Pixel.

The Gators have landed a standout from Wasatch Academy.
Emanuely (Manu) De Oliveira announced on January 15, that she has given a verbal commitment to attend the University of Florida of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and plans to join the program this fall on a full ride scholarship.
"Manu is one of the top players in the state of Utah. I believe she is the best all-around player in the state and one of the top guards in the country. She can play with anyone, her skills are polished, and she has a tremendous work ethic," said Tony Giannotti, Wasatch Academy Head Girls' Basketball Coach.
Manu, who is originally from Brazil, has had an impressive season averaging nearly a triple-double at 19 points per game, 11-rebounds per game, and 7-steals per game. The 6'0" guard has been a vital player in supporting the team to having an undefeated region schedule and becoming the Utah State Region 17 undisputed champions. "She doesn't just score, she distributes the ball, she handles the ball against the press, and when we need a basket, she comes through," stated Ty Kennedy, Assistant Head of School for Student Life.
While Manu had several different offers on the table, joining the Gators felt like the perfect fit. "I liked everything," she said. "I felt comfortable with the school, the coaches, the players. They made me feel like I was already part of the team."
Manu is excited to sign her Letter of Intent to University of Florida on April 11, 2018, during National Signing Day.

Reading Playing the guitar Swimming Listening to music
December 11, 2016
Hey guys!!
I have decided to devote this week's blog to one of my highly recommended programs for future first-year students at the University of Richmond. When I was back at home, only months away from my flight to Richmond, VA, I was excited and worried about making this transition to college life in a foreign country. I was mostly scared of feeling lost and failing to find someone close to talk to for advice, guidance and counseling. As a result, I decided to apply to a program called Peer Advisors and Mentors, which matches first-year students (mentees) with upperclassmen (mentors) in a Family Cluster consisting of about 12 members in total.
Through this program, I was able to form a close group of friends right from the start of the semester, which helped me develop a strong sense of community and support in a very short period of time. I also found this to be a truly helpful initiative because it helped me connect with my mentor over the summer, during which I remember asking her so many questions about choosing my courses for fall semester, how to set up my schedule, what things to do in my free time, which clubs she recommended me to join, where and when to buy my textbooks and such. Having this kind of contact gave me more confidence when I set foot on campus, and I really think it contributed to making this new experience as enjoyable as possible.
What I like the most about the Peer Advisor and Mentors Program is that it organizes several (free woo-hoo!) social activities to build our relationship with our designated family clusters. Here are my favorites so far:
Disc Golf: We had the chance to try out the Disc Golf course and hang out at the Richmond Room, where we bonded over food and made our own (my first by the way) s'mores at the s'more station. Through this event, I was also able to meet one of my closest Latin American friends from the Caribbean.
Trick or Treat Street: Through PAM, I also engaged with the Richmond community by volunteering at TOTS and decorating cookies and egg cartons into spiders for the children to celebrate the Halloween festivities.
Family Cluster Night Out: To take advantage of the funds that are available for cluster family events, my lovely fam organized a dinner for all of us to go to Carytown. We had dinner at Zzaam, a Korean barbecue restaurant, and then, to satisfy our sweet tooth cravings, we went straight to Shyndigz, RVA's first dessert-only restaurant, where I got a ginormous piece of the most delicious fruit cake I've ever tried, with, of course, a cup of hot chocolate (aka heavenly cup of comfort).
End-of-Semester JAM: We had our PAM JAM at SkateNation in Short Pump, where we played laser tag and arcade games. We also took advantage of the ice rink and went ice skating, which I was so excited to try for the first time. I do have to admit I fell down more than a couple of times, but I did manage to make a couple of accident-less laps. I left with a cold butt, but a happy smile nonetheless.
Why UR?I chose UR because it makes me feel at home. When I visited campus in April, I was surprised to be surrounded by a supportive and welcoming body of students, faculty and staff who really cared about me. They provided me with a sense of belonging and showed me that if I chose UR, I'd gain a new family too.

The Secret Shelf - 02
I once asked a writer what he'd read lately. "Oh, I don't read much," he replied. I fell off my chair. Not really. If you want your writing to peel away like cheap paint on a lawn chair, then keep your reading diet slight. If you do read, read only the popular modern books, like Blink or How To blah blah blah, and never dip into Shakespeare. And never, never, read the poets. I mean, what could we possibly learn from Wordsworth's The Prelude. And don't get me started on how frivolous and unrelated Plato and Boethius are to your writing.
Of course, I could rant on, but I won't. I think you get the picture. Your writing will reflect the depth at which you read. So, read broadly, deeply, and with great care. Ranting aside, here's this month's installment of "The Secret Shelf." Whatever you do, don't share this post with anyone. It's a secret! I do, however, welcome rants on how much you read and what books are currently igniting your mind.
1. How To Read A Book, Mortimer J. Adler - If you want to improve the quality and speed of your reading, charge up your "One Click" button on Amazon and buy this book. I wish my high school teachers would have encouraged me to read this. I read it, on my own, in college, and it revolutionized my reading and writing. This is another book I return to often (see #1 here) as a way to refresh my mind on the art of reading. But it does more than help you read better, it also informs your perspective on books. You wouldn't ride a steel-framed knobby-tire mountain bike in the Tour de France, so why would you read Beowulf the way you read Calvin's Institutes?
2. On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, Stephen King - What can I say? This book contains direct brilliance. Some of my friends make fun of my disdain for "ly" words. But I am not alone in my cause. "Adverbs, like the passive voice, seem to have been created with the timid writer in mind. With the passive voice, the writer usually expresses fear of not being taken seriously; it is the voice of little boys wearing shoe polish mustaches and little girls clumping around in Mommy's high heels." Adverbs aside, the brilliance of this book is King's ability to share his own story while showing you how to be a better writer. It's engaging. It's funny. And, you'll learn a thing or two.
3. An Experiment on Criticism, C.S. Lewis - I hesitate to include this one, because it is, quite honestly, some of my secret sauce. But I'm a sharer (indeed, an over-sharer!). Published near the end of Lewis's life (1961) the title might scare some away. Don't be fooled. This book is a powerhouse of literary and aesthetic insight. Lewis examines "readers" as a way to determine the quality of a book. When was the last time you reread a book? Lewis suggests that a literary reader will often reread, and that an unliterary person will say, "I've already read that."
How many times do you dip into books you've read before? Your answer will reveal the quality of books you read and the kind of reader you are. "The devotee of culture is, as a person," writes Lewis, "worth much more than the status seeker. He reads as he also visits art galleries and concert rooms, not to make himself acceptable, but to improve himself, to develop his potentialities, to become a more complete man."
What kind of reader are you? What are you reading?
{For a fine review of Lewis's An Experiment in Criticism, go here.}
Looking for a new devotional read for 2015? I invite you to consider my new devotional Longing For More. It's a 52-week devotional that you can begin at anytime. Get a copy here.
Timothy Willard is the author of three books, including Longing For More: Daily Reflections on Finding God in the Rhythms of Life. He has collaborated on over 20 books and has written, consulted and served as spiritual director for organizations such as Chick-fil-A, Catalyst, Q Ideas and Praxis Labs. He lived in Oxford, England for two years studying beauty in the works of C.S. Lewis. He earned his PhD in Theology under the supervision of world-renowned theologian Alister McGrath. When he's not riding the trails in the Appalachian mountains you can find him by the fire with his three daughters and his wife making up stories about Tom the back yard badger. He lives somewhere in the south Charlotte woods.

AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. agreed to buy Carmike Cinemas Inc. in a cash deal that would make a Chinese-owned company the largest movie-theater operator in the U.S.
AMC will pay $30 a share for Carmike for a total payout of $1.1 billion, including the assumption of some Carmike debt, the companies said Thursday. The price is a nearly 20% premium to Carmike's closing share price of $25.11 on Nasdaq.
The deal also makes AMC the world's largest movie-theater operator. Currently Regal Entertainment Group is the largest theater company in the U.S. AMC is the second-biggest in the nation and Carmike is No. 4. The deal is subject to antitrust review by the Justice Department.
AMC was purchased in 2012 by China's Dalian Wanda Group Co. for $2.6 billion. Wanda has made significant inroads in Hollywood since then, most recently purchasing "Jurassic World" financier Legendary Entertainment for $3.5 billion in January.
Chinese companies have been on a global shopping spree in recent months, helping the Chinese government with its agenda to enter the global market and build the Chinese brand overseas.

Back at the first NerdCon:Stories (2015), I attended a panel where Patrick Rothfuss commented that he's found with new writers, especially if their work is good, that it usually leads to breakdowns in their life, usually resulting in divorce. When he reads an exception first book, he does what he can to find that author's contact info and call them up to ask, "Hey. Are you okay?"
I never got a call like that.
However, I can't help but recognize that occurrence in my life. It's something that's stuck with me, and it's been easier to coast off that ideal in the year plus since my divorce and the release of my first book.Read More
For the majority of the year, I have remained fairly silent. Obviously, the podcast has been ongoing, but, as a professional writer, this past year has been stagnant. I've toyed with ideas, I've started working on the ideas for the sequel to The Faithful. Despite all this time put into the ideas of the sequels, little to no writing has been put to the page.Read More
It's been far too long since I've made an actual post. My last bit of any real news, other than the release of Of Gods and Madness: The Faithful, came around AWP 2015. Unfortunately, that's where everything began to spiral out of control. In the past nine months, I've gone through a divorce, sold my house, lost a host of friends, even lost my job the day before my novel came out.Read More

Harfoush, Hossam
Hossam Harfoush is a graphic design student at the American University in Cairo, enthusiast, and freelancer, who has been visualizing his thoughts since the sixth grade, and debuted his career at the age of fourteen. Here is a short story of a kid who fell for the geometric shapes, colors, and was always fond of the fonts.
Street ads, musical posters, and TV commercials always drew my attention. "How were these things made?" has never left my mind. I started "investigating" by browsing the web, mainly by asking Google my curious questions, and by playing with Microsoft's Paint program. I created silly things for a lot of time. Subsequently, I knew about Adobe Creative Suite, and after watching some tutorials on the web, I immediately started using it. Bit by bit, I started to create less-silly work; I started creating some meaningful artworks, participated in some of the town's art galleries–even as an organizer, and published my work through the different online platforms. By time, my knowledge started to grow, and I have started to catch a glimpse of my own vision.
2011 was a turning point in my life, as one day an interesting advertising agency in my hometown, Mansoura, contacted me to work with them. When I heard, "Hello, is it Mr. Hossam?" I was supremely surprised; I was just 14 years old. I went to the interview, and they got shocked as well—as they expected an older Hossam. However, after a two-week "training" period, they approved, or announced, me to be their youngest intern ever, and I interned there for a six-month period in two consecutive years. During this period, I have gained a lot of experience about art, graphic design, and advertising. One year later, I interned as a graphic designer at a multicultural educational center called Alternative Education, where I started to know more about graphic design theories, liberal arts, and education.
Since that time, I have received some offers to move to Cairo and intern for different companies but I wanted to focus on my high school senior studies. However, the graphic design took a huge part of my life. I always wanted to know more about it. As a result, I insisted on studying graphic design in an environment where engineering and medicine have won the first priorities among students, and more importantly, parents. I had to fight for graphic design, and my reward for winning that fight was receiving the Tomorrow's Leaders Scholarship at the American University in Cairo, where I am currently majoring in graphic design. One year after joining college, I got a summer-internship in one of the biggest Middle East social media firms, Kijamii, where I acquired more experience in the design field, and more knowledge about digital media, and the social media world.
A story of a kid who always loved the shapes, lines, and colors. A story of a teenager who was passionate about, and good in nothing but graphic design. A story of a rising designer who's always chasing knowledge. Sounds like a movie trailer, yeah? No? How was that?

The Clarets lost last season's top scorer to QPR at the start of the month when Austin left for £3.5m. But Sean Dyche's men have coped well without the 28-goal hotshot so far.
Danny Ings has scored three goals in as many games and strike partner Vokes got off the mark at Sheffi eld Wednesday.
Vokes, who joined the Wales squad yesterday for Wednesday's friendly with Ireland, said: "I feel good and I've started the season well.
"I've struck up a good partnership with Danny and there's more to come.
"We feel good together and we're working hard. Hopefully, we can step up to the plate now Charlie's gone.
"It's a good opportunity for myself. It's good news for Charlie to go and join QPR. It's a big opportunity for him.
"He's a good mate of mine, so hopefully he can go there and do well but it's also a chance for me to step up."
Clarets boss Dyche confirmed he was still looking to splash the cash from the Austin transfer but Vokes said he is ready to fight for his place.
The 23-year-old said: "There's always going to be competition for a place in the team.
"There was when Charlie was here and I expect there to be more further down the line if the manager brings other people in.
"I'm just glad to get a goal. It's fantastic for me to get off the mark. That's just what you need in the first few games of the season and hopefully there's plenty more to come."
Ings kept up his scoring run with a header from six yards when he met Ross Wallace's inswinging cross in the 32nd minute.
It punished Wednesday for not making more of their early dominance.
It got worse five minutes later when Burnley made it 2-0 through Vokes in almost identical fashion.
A Kieran Trippier cross from the right floated to the back post and found Vokes, whose header looped over Chris Kirkland.
Dave Jones' Owls rallied in the second half and grabbed a lifeline in the 70th minute when David Prutton arrived to power a header home from Liam Palmer's perfect cross.
They pressed for a leveller in the fi nal stages but could not fi nd another way past the superb Tom Heaton.
Wednesday's rookie left-back Rafael Floro was given a torrid time on his home debut, with both Burnley goals coming from the right channel.
The 19-year-old was substituted at half-time but Owls midfi elder and his Portuguese team-mate Jose Semedo expects him to come good. Semedo said: "I am acting as the interpreter for Floro.
I will help him as much as I can because when I first arrived I didn't speak English and there was no-one who could help me.
"For him it is a little bit easier because he can feel at home straight away.
"He is settling in well and he is happy. He has always wanted to play in England.
"He is so happy to be at this club.
"He always talks about the Wednesday fans because in Portugal the big clubs like Sporting Lisbon only get 15-20,000 fans but here, we are not even in the Premier League and we have more than that."

Principal Clerk chairs new action group on affordable credit
Published on 1 March, 2016
Moves to improve access to affordable credit in Scotland for people on low incomes are to be championed by a new action group led by the Very Rev John Chalmers.
The Principal Clerk to the General Assembly began working with the Carnegie Trust to address this issue during his time as Moderator last year. Now he has been appointed the chairman of a new group which believes people from all walks of life should be able to legitimately borrow money at affordable rates.
Mr Chalmers says the national Affordable Credit Action Group will promote access to "excellent forms of community lending" with the aim of reducing the cost of borrowing, supporting financial inclusion, promoting fairness and greater equality.
"I believe the inequality in our financial system has to change if Scotland is to overcome its wider social problems. Improving access to cheaper, small and short term loans to those who can afford to repay them could improve people's quality of life – particularly those in disadvantaged communities.
There has never been a coherent, nationwide approach to resolving the issue of affordable credit in Scotland. Together we can avoid duplication of efforts, improve sharing of best practice and create new opportunities to tackle the big issues at scale."
The highly respected Group, consisting of representatives from across Scotland's financial industries as well as the third and public sectors, has spent a year analysing financial inequality in Scotland.
Jeremy Peat, the co-Chair of the Affordable Credit Working Group, is a former Chief Economist of RBS who also servedon the Purpose of Economics Commission and is a Visiting Professor at the University of Strathclyde's International Public Policy Institute. He said "Access to credit in Scotland is not a level playing field. Credit is – for a mixture of good and bad reasons – most expensive for those who can least afford it.
"While the regulation of payday loans has reduced the supply of expensive credit, it has done little to affect demand for short term borrowing amongst the poorest members of society or to stimulate alternative sources of supply of credit. A step-change is needed because that demand is not going away."
The group has published a series of 18 recommendations for government and industry to adopt in order to break down some of the barriers they've identified. This includes recommending that a Scottish Government minister is given responsibility for financial inclusion, including affordable credit, as part of their brief.
The Church of Scotland is one of a group of churches which came together to form its own credit union in February 2015. The Churches Mutual Credit Union includes the Kirk, the Church of England, the Methodist Conference, The Scottish Episcopal Church and the Church in Wales. The United Reform Church has also made a formal application after it was welcomed to do so informally.

Yep here they are in all their glory, super mini, super cruisey, super laid-back style, keep it strictly toes over my son, check em out below:
4 thoughts on "Lee Bay surfing photos: keep it laid back and cruisey"
Your toes are nowhere near over… your riding it like it's a typical devon foamy!… And where's the sharks and shallow reef? Call that surfing.. Pah!
I agree sully also kind of looks like the guy needs a dump!!
"Time was when surfing in Britain was reserved for the hardy few. But now a wave of seamless wetsuits and rampant consumerism is robbing the sport of its rebel image, while the flood of BMW-driving stockbroker surfers is causing tension with the locals."
Pooooooo Stance!!!!! You just gotta love summer?!

When setting up a website for your small business you will need to decide on a domain name. Your domain name will be your website's specific internet address. It is like a business name but it does not have to be your exact business name. You don't own your domain name but you can register it and, provided you keep your registration up to date, you have the exclusive right to use it internationally on the internet.
Get the Right Domain Name for your Small Business
Your domain name should ideally include keywords specifically targeted towards your business. It does not have to be an exact match to your business name and, in some cases, it may in fact be better if it does not. There are also different rules and regulations to consider depending on the top level domain (eg. .com or .com.au) that you wish to register.
Questions You Need to Consider before Registering a Domain Name
- Which is the best domain name for my business?
- Should I choose a .com, .com.au or other top level domain?
- How do I find out if my chosen domain name is available?
- How much does domain name registration cost?
- How do I actually register my domain name?
- How long do I get to use my domain name?
- What happens if I forget to renew my domain name?

Jeep Shots - May 2015Posted in News on May 5, 2015
Suns Out, Guns Out
We were torn whether or not to run this photo. Clearly, we have an un-belted driver, and a random guy standing on the back bumper with an iPhone in his hand. However, we did notice that the driver's shirt has a sign printed on the front that appears to state something along the lines of "Warning, I do dumb things." The owner of the '94 Wrangler is Brett Musser from Aiken, South Carolina. Musser states the YJ has over 300,000 miles on the original 4.0L HO engine and is still running as strong as ever. The inline-six is fit with a cold-air intake and straight-pipe exhaust but is otherwise untouched. He states the YJ is mostly stock but did get upgraded with a set of 33x12.5R15 Dunlop Mud Rovers on black 15-inch Mickey Thompson wheels. Musser and friends are regulars at South Carolina's Gulches Offroad Vehicle Park and also use the Jeep for exploring off-road.
Too Wicked?
Bryan Swan of Alice, Colorado, calls his '92 YJ Wicked Sunshine. For some reason, this made us think of the show Wicked Tuna, which made us think of sushi. That reminded us that we hadn't eaten lunch, and now we're wicked hungry. While Swan admits he purchased the Jeep mostly built, he's fine-tuned it to fit his needs. The tub of the Jeep is actually comprised of fiberglass with a helping of Rhino Lining. Powering the Wrangler is a LT1 V-8 that sends power to a 4L60e transmission and NV231 T-case. A high-pinion Dana 44 front and custom high-pinion Dana 60 rear use 4.88 gears to easily spin the 37-inch Nitto Mud Grapplers. Bestop seats and soft top were installed, along with a GenRight 'cage.
Shop Truck
Mike Iacovelli's shop truck is definitely something to drool over. The cab is from a '47 Willys pickup, while the chassis and drivetrain were robbed from a '99 Dodge Ram 1500. It has 1-ton axles from a Ram 2500, a fuel-injected 5.9L V-8, and an automatic transmission. Meaty 42-inch TSLs on 15x12 Bart wheels give it the impressive footprint, while a mostly stock interior keeps the nostalgia intact.
Like Father, Like Son
Rodney Meyer Jr. and his Dad, Rodney Meyer Sr., are life-long Jeep enthusiasts. Sr.'s '85 CJ-7 has been in the family for 15 years. Located near Collins Brothers Jeeps, spare parts have been easy to come by when needed. The CJ is fit with the 4.2L inline-six engine and five-speed manual transmission and retains the stock axles and T-case. A 2-inch suspension lift was added to make more room for 31-inch BFG All-Terrain tires. Jr. has followed in his dad's footsteps in a more modern way with the purchase of a '03 Wrangler Rubicon. Jr.'s Rubicon gets a little more lift via a 41⁄2-inch Rubicon Express suspension and 35-inch BFG KM2 tires. The two photos were taken on a recent family wheeling outing at the Bridgeport OHV in Texas.

Adele says she didn't make a video for 'Skyfall' because she doesn't 'look like Halle Berry'
The singer also said everyone wished they could live at Glastonbury
Adele has said she didn't make a video for her Bond theme tune because she doesn't "look like Halle Berry".
The singer spoke about making the song before playing it during her Glastonbury headline set.
"I didn't want a video [for the song] because I was nine months pregnant and I was about to drop," she said. "And I don't look like Halle Berry. You don't want to do a video for a Bond song if you don't look like Halle Berry."
A video for the song was made, but only features clips from the film.
Later, she dedicated her track 'Hometown Glory' to the people of Tottenham. "Is there anyone from Tottenham here?" she asked the crowd.
"Fuck off! Shut the front door, are you really?" she exclaimed when someone in the crowd cheered. "Well this is for you. But, really, we all wish we could live here."

In this thesis, we investigate two problems in robustness analysis of uncertain systems with structured uncertainty. The first problem concerns the robust finite frequency range H2 analysis of such systems. Classical robust H2 analysis methods are based on upper bounds for the robust H2 norm of a system which are computed over the whole frequency range. These bounds can be overly conservative, and therefore, classical robust H2 analysis methods can produce misleading results for finite frequency range analysis. In the first paper in the thesis, we address this issue by providing two methods for computing upper bounds for the robust finite-frequency H2 norm of the system. These methods utilize finitefrequency Gramians and frequency partitioning to calculate upper bounds for the robust finite-frequency H2 norm of uncertain systems with structured uncertainty. We show the effectiveness of these algorithms using both theoretical and practical experiments.
In many applications, design or analysis is performed over a finite frequency range of interest. The importance of the H2/robust H2 norm highlights the necessity of computing this norm accordingly. This paper provides different methods for computing upper bounds on the robust finite-frequency H2 norm for systems with structured uncertainties. An application of the robust finite-frequency H2 norm for a comfort analysis problem of an aero-elastic model of an aircraft is also presented.
We consider a class of convex feasibility problems where the constraints that describe the feasible set are loosely coupled. These problems arise in robust stability analysis of large, weakly interconnected systems. To facilitate distributed implementation of robust stability analysis of such systems, we propose two algorithms based on decomposition and simultaneous projections. The first algorithm is a nonlinear variant of Cimmino's mean projection algorithm, but by taking the structure of the constraints into account, we can obtain a faster rate of convergence. The second algorithm is devised by applying the alternating direction method of multipliers to a convex minimization reformulation of the convex feasibility problem. We use numerical results to show that both algorithms require far less iterations than the accelerated nonlinear Cimmino algorithm.

Connecting Head & Heart: More and more neuromarketing science is proving that the most primitive parts of our brains are responsible for calling most of the shots. So it's no surprise that when brands create strong emotional connections with customers they can charge 20-200% more for their products or services.
Whether I'm working with household names like Virgin, Harley Davidson and Converse, or helping new brands like Plank Yoga create some love, having a deep understanding of neuromarketing helps me drive the subjectivity out of my creativity.
Geekiness aside, all I can say, from the bottom of my Neanderthal heart is: "Wowza"… these projects are a blast to work on too.
"Taking complex ideas, and making them engaging for any kind of audience takes a special talent, and JB definitely has it, regardless the medium - video, print, & digital. Generous with his time and ideas, he leads teams with just the right amount of challenge, encouragement, and creativity. Client satisfaction is always high when JB is on the project."

About Joslin | Patient Care | Supporting Joslin
Robert C. Stanton, M.D. is the Chief of the Kidney and Hypertension Section at the Joslin Diabetes Center and is a Principal Investigator in the Section on Vascular Cell Biology. Dr. Stanton is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School where he is involved with teaching at all levels. Dr. Stanton has lectured all over the world. He has received three Honorary Professorships from Universities in China. Dr. Stanton is an author of many original articles and chapters.
Dr. Stanton's research is centered on understanding the regulation and role of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in health and disease. G6PD (the rate limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway) is the principal source of NADPH which is the main intracellular reductant required by many critical cellular systems. Dr. Stanton's laboratory has determined that G6PD and NADPH is critical for cell survival and has demonstrated that increased levels of glucose (as occurs in diabetes) leads to a decrease in the activity of G6PD in certain cell types and, as a consequence, lower levels of NADPH. This lack of sufficient NADPH is a significant cause of the increased oxidative stress seen in diabetes that leads to kidney disease, vascular disease and other complications. The lack of NADPH also leads to impaired function of other cellular systems that are dependent on NADPH such as nitric oxide synthase that produces nitric oxide (which is required for blood pressure regulation and many other functions) and white blood cell function (due to impaired NADPH oxidase function). And proper G6PD activity and NADPH level is required for beta cell growth, survival, and normal insulin secretion. Current research is focused on determining the specific signals that regulate G6PD, on determining whether G6PD activity is a risk marker for diabetes and diabetic complications, and on discovering drugs that will increase G6PD activity and the NADPH level.

The Seven Churches of Santo Stefano
I'm drawn to churches in Italy. There is something peaceful and spiritual about them. The coolness, the quiet, the dim light, the candles - all invoke a sense of calm and of one's place in the greater universe. I've probably lit 1,000 candles in churches big and small all across Italy - a nod to my Catholic upbringing - somehow those small flames seem to guide hopes and prayers on their way.
And then there is the art. I love the fading frescoes, the sculptures, the biblical stories told in paintings, the carved crucifixes, the Madonnas. And while I don't consider myself particularly religious, I find all of these tremendously meaningful.
Perhaps the most amazing church I've visited in Italy isn't a single church at all but rather the Sette Chiese (Seven Churches) of the Basilica of Santo Stefano in Bologna. Parts of this series of interconnected chapels date to the 5th century and were likely built on the site of a fresh water spring and over a former temple to the Goddess Isis. Originally seven churches, changes throughout the centuries have resulted in the current four churches: Church of the Crucifix (the largest in the complex), Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Church of Saints Vitale & Agricola (local martyrs), and Church of the Trinity (or Martyrium).
Along with the four churches there are smaller chapels, the Pilate's courtyard with its intricate brickwork, a cloister with a central well and arcaded second story logia, and a small museum/gift shop.
The whole series of churches is fascinating and each one is unique, but it was the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (the oldest part of the complex) that most intrigued me. It is a dark space, small and round yet quite tall with rising columns, arched windows high up in the cylindrical walls, and a domed brick ceiling. In the center is a carved stone structure that is part tomb (intended for the now absent Saint Petronio), part altar, part spiral staircase, all topped with a simple crucifix. There are beautiful stone carvings and a small opening into the tomb space itself (I actually watched a tourist climb into the tomb opening but I decided not to follow!). This space is mystical and somewhat eerie - the air just feels different in here, filled with a presence that is not quite visible. Perhaps it is the distant echos of those early worshipers.
The Basilica of Santo Stefano is about a 10-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore and sits on a lovely triangular piazza at the end of Via Santo Stefano. It offers a unique experience, different from some of the more famous churches in Italy which get considerably more visitors. Its a worthwhile stop on any visit to Bologna. -post by JB
