Finding A Seasoned Lawyer Whatever your legal needs are you will see that there are many lawyers in the area that advertise they focus on your form of case. This could make the entire process of finding one with a lot of experience somewhat of a challenge. However, if you follow the tips below it will be possible to define your quest to the right one out of almost no time. Step one is to produce a set of the lawyers that happen to be listed in your area specializing in your position. When you are causeing this to be list you must only include those that you have an excellent vibe about based on their advertisement. Then you can narrow this list down by using a little while evaluating their internet site. There you should be able to find how many years they have been practicing and a few general information about their success rates. At this stage your list should have shrunken further to those that you just felt had professional websites along with an appropriate quantity of experience. You should then take the time to lookup independent reviews of every attorney. Be sure to look at the reviews rather than just counting on their overall rating. The information within the reviews will give you an idea of the way that they interact with their customers and the length of time they invest into each case that they are focusing on. Finally, you should talk with no less than the last three lawyers which may have the credentials you are searching for. This will provide you with enough time to genuinely evaluate how interested they can be in representing your case. It is actually crucial for you to follow every one of these steps to actually hire a company that has the correct degree of experience to help you get the perfect outcome.

The Issue
As Ontario's economy continues to transform, a postsecondary education is increasingly vital for developing the broad set of skills required in today's and tomorrow's workplaces. Government and educators must continue working together to ensure that all Ontarians who are willing and qualified can access a postsecondary education and the learning and economic opportunities that come with it.
The Background
- For the last decade, Ontario's universities have seen an increase in applications and enrolment. In recent years the number of applicants has continued to climb even as the number of young adults in the province has decreased, showing that Ontarians are seeing the value of a university education for their future.
- University enrolment has increased by more than 70 per cent since 2000, helping Ontario hold one of the highest graduation rates for postsecondary around the world – a key factor in the province's reputation for talent.
- Universities work with the government, through OSAP, to remove barriers to a postsecondary education and support all students who need financial assistance. Since 2001, Ontario has led the country when it comes to increasing the on-campus proportion of students from lower income families.
- The work of promoting access to university has to start early, however. High school students need to be informed about their postsecondary choices and prepared for campus challenges such as managing workload in their studies and being financially literate for life away from home.

While it's necessary for actors to market themselves in this age of social media, Kunal Kapoor feels this phenomenon has diminished the sense of mystery associated with actors.
"Now, that (the sense of mystery) is impossible, because you are seen everywhere, right from restaurants to airports," says the actor, adding that people aren't looking for mysterious actors anymore. "They are looking for actors they can relate to. The more they can relate to people, the more they can like them."
Besides acting, Kunal reveals that he is also developing scripts of his own. "I believe in good writing and I have always had a flair for it. I like ideating, thinking about different stories. I have grown up that way and it has influenced me in a big way," he says.
Ask him if he would like to explore direction, and the actor is quick to say, "Eventually, I would love to. But for the time being, I would like to explore short films. This medium is interesting."
The Rang De Basanti (2006) actor's next film is being released in Malayalam, Hindi and English. Kunal says films in different languages are getting the recognition they deserve. "I think most regional language films — Punjabi and Marathi movies, for example — are making so much money. That is because they have unique content. Secondly, I believe that there are more avenues for regional cinema today," he says.
The Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities (2004) actor also says that content-based movies are doing well these days, which wasn't the case earlier.
"The films that are working today probably wouldn't have made the cut a few years ago. I have always looked at cinema as not just a medium for entertainment, but as a medium that can bring about social change as well. Those are the kind of movies that excite me — the ones that make you think," he says.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter ... - Rev. MLK Jr.

NCI Agency BOA Program is a procurement method used for Commercial off-the-shelf goods (COTS). It is aimed at fostering an environment which encourages the participation of qualified companies.
A BOA is a two-step contracting procedure. First, NCI Agency and the company establish a framework contract, specifying all basic contract provisions and signing a Preferred-customer declaration. Potential suppliers indicate a range of goods and services against which retail quantities can be ordered. A prerequisite to signing a BOA is that the National authorities issue a Declaration of Eligibility for the company.
Step 2 takes place when there is an actual BOA competition. At this point the Contracting Officer matches vendors' offered categories to the requirements, and requests for quote (RFQs) are sent out to qualifying vendors.
The aim of this procurement procedure is to provide an accelerated and cost-effective acquisition method for COTS products and services, respecting the principle of non-discrimination.
Please note that the BOA program is open only to companies registered in a NATO member state. For more information refer to BOA Q&A.
You can read more about BOAs at the Procurement Methods page.
If you are interested in signing a BOA, please fill out the BOA Application Pack, and email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

1 comment so far
The most written-about topic on my blog appeared to be reviews of new episodes of my favorite TV shows, or my love for them. So I thought (since my views are getting better, which makes me feel like I have to write more often) that I could just make a short list of my favorite shows. I don't really have anything special to write about today anyway.
So how about a top five, huh? Nice and quick.
1. Gossip Girl
Seriously? Wow, not like that's almost the only thing I've been talking about lately or anything.
2. The City
Now when The Hills is over, The City's what hot. And it just hit me. I can't believe I haven't even mentioned the show! I looked forward to it since November last year! So I'm making it clear. I love Whitney. She dresses so well, has this cool-cool job, and she's sooo pretty (I love her hair, ha ha), and she's so nice on top of it!
3. Ugly Betty
I've taken a recap of all the old episodes, and I forgot how fun it was! Ah, Amanda's so cool :P
4. 90210
New drama, same zip code (oouh). The Beverly Hills-teenagers of today? It can't get any better for this California dreamer!
5. Hannah Montana
Yes, I love it, OK? In fact, I love Disney Channel. And I'm (more than) kind of diggin' on Miley, too. So I can't wait 'til the movie comes out! Seriously. And when I'm at it, I can also tell that I love The Jonas Brothers (which means JOOOE), Selena Gomez and High School Musical. There!
Woah, that was a lot of confessioning at once. But on the other hand, now you know me better.
(These are my at-the-moment favorites, as I hope you get. I mean, FIVE? I could never pick a top five of all the shows I love. Or loved. I mean, I love That 70's Show, for instance, but it doesn't have any new episodes and stuff, so it has kind of faded away from my favorites. If you know what I mean.)
So now for the day's question;
What are YOUR favorite TV shows?

The Progressive Agriculture Foundation is pleased to announce the hiring of Brian Kuhl to the position of Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Progressive Agriculture Foundation, effective immediately.
After more than 20 years with the foundation, Susan Reynolds-Porter has elected to retire from her role as Chief Executive Officer and will support Kuhl as a special projects manager through March 2018.
Kuhl offers more than two decades of diverse business experience, including working with some of the nation's largest agriculture cooperatives. In his 18 years with CHS Inc., Kuhl led the development of an executive training program for young leaders in conjunction with the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Business and oversaw operations of the CHS Inc. corporate campus.
In addition, Kuhl served on the Progressive Agriculture Foundation Board of Directors for six years, including three years as Board President. He coordinated numerous Progressive Agriculture Safety Days and was instrumental in establishing the program in six new communities in the Upper Midwest.
Kuhl holds a bachelor's degree in agriculture business and marketing communications from the University of Wisconsin – River Falls as well as an MBA from the University of Phoenix. He currently lives in Hudson, Wisconsin, with his wife, Kelly, and their two young children.
"The foundation appreciates the leadership both Susan and Brian have provided over the years," says Katie Schroeder, president, board of directors, Progressive Agriculture Foundation. "We look forward to continuing the foundation's mission of providing the education, training and resources to make farm, ranch and rural life safer and healthier for children and their communities for many years to come."

There is medicine & poison in EVERY-thing.
Birthing sacred sound with Nissa as a guide is a holy experience. She creates space that takes you deep into the life and desire of these sacred tools…. allowing you to meet the animal allies that sacrificed their lives to come through in this new way AND to get comfortable with the gifts of death and rebirth. She helps facilitate dialogue between animal and human (or maker??), creating an intimate relationship that goes beyond physicality of simply a drum and rattle. The expression that keeps coming up is… practical magic.
Bone Readings have brought me great clarity, healing, and most of all confidence to step deeper into my Truth as an artist and woman. I am so in love with Nissa and the work she fosters with the Lady of the Bones. After my very first reading I signed up to make these offerings a monthly commitment and I have never been disappointed yet — sometimes surprised or even challenged — but never disappointed. Thank you Nissa for shining your amazing light and for the beautiful way you listen to the bones.
INTEGRITY. It's a non-negotiable in my world for a space holder. Nissa will deliver.
It meant so much to me to be held, to have strength and comfort given to me. Right now I am feeling so depleted, like there isn't enough of me to go around. I needed the medicine I was given today.
Participating in Nissa's online courses has been life changing. The course content and supportive, online space she holds creates a whimsical and gritty form of magic with a healthy dose of cheeky wickedness. Her work speaks to my subconscious, drawing out my own magic and truth.
Thank you Nissa for my bone reading that has taken me deep into myself. A journey, as it should be, but I didn't expect this and so had to stop and restart my recording once I got myself in a more sacred, receptive space. The pieces have layers. As I listened over three days with the full moon, it's so much more than a 'reading'. There's deep healing happening with a definite soul-depth confirmation of what we can glimpse for ourselves. I also experience an initiation or jump-start into what I couldn't grasp just yet too - sort of like a torch held out so one can see our wider circle for a bit and get a decent nibble and taste of what is trickling in for us. Absorbing the layers is happening over time. Happy to have found you Nissa, carrying your bone bundle. I'll be heeding the call from the Lady of the Bones and be in touch for more. xo
Working with Nissa is gift. You will be held, you will be challenged, you will be broken open, you will be encouraged and supported toward wholeness. She urges you toward growth by gently challenging your self-limiting schemas, and holds you in the sacred, loving space of a woman who knows, who's done the work, and who continues to do it every day.
I loved the honesty of Nissa's content and videos. There's an alchemy that happens when a leader is willing to be open, as she is. It makes it okay for *us* to do so, too. And in this world of surface connections, that honest sharing is deeply, deeply healing. Generally speaking, I'd like to say to anyone considering working with Nissa: TAKE THIS. JUST GO SIGN UP. TRUST ME., because I get inarticulate about how awesome the experience is.
I purposely provided very little information about what I was actually dealing with and the reading was dead on. It accurately reflected the fears and doubts I had been feeling and it validated to me - sometimes word for word! - what my inner voice had been saying to me. I'd been too disconnected to be able to hear fully, but hearing it come from another person, who didn't really know me, helped me get over my self-doubt and trust that the wisdom I was hearing was truth. Nissa also gave me a very clear visual of the inner landscape I was navigating. As a very visual person, I was able to really put myself into the scene that she described. Over the weeks since the reading, I have continued to tap into this imagery and use it in my healing journeys.

This was an interesting Half Marathon for both of us! James was once again attempting to break 1h 25mins whereas Rachel was hoping to complete her first Half Marathon.
The race was easy to sign up for online, it's not the best looking website but it does the job and gave plenty of information about what to expect on the day. A pre-race information email was sent out a few days before the event to keep everyone updated on how the day would proceed. It's worth mentioning that Rachel wasn't due to take part in this race and actually took someone's place two days before. Should you need to swap runner for whatever reason it was simple to do by just contacting the race organiser
On the day
The advertised carpark was easy to find and as we arrived still had ample room to fit a lot of cars in. We followed the car park attendants instructions and easily found the registration area. Inside there were signs up advising runners which desk to check in at (split into 4 groups of alphabetical surname), once we'd received our race numbers and chips there were plenty of pens around (for filing in the emergency details) as well as safety pins – something we know never to forget, just in case!
As the registration area for the run was inside Stockport County's ground there were plenty of facilities available. The start of the course began just outside the registration area – it's so much better when there isn't an unnecessary amount of walking involved pre-race.
There were plenty of marshals and St John's Ambulance staff all along the route but we found it a bit odd that there were no distance markers and no way pointers for a few sections where, if you'd separated from the pack, it would be easy to get a bit lost. There were also no additional chip gates besides the start and finish so if you want to know your splits you'll need to be timing yourself on your own watch.
Around 310 runners took part in the event with finish times ranging from a staggering 1:08:44 to 2:57:08 so no matter your level there would generally be runners around you to help spur you on. The start of the race began through a few Stockport streets where some locals had lined up to cheer on the runners, other than that there were marshals and St John's Ambulance Staff staggered en route so very little in the way of a crowd to motivate you.
The Course
The course begins at Stockport County's grounds and starts off quite nicely downhill, at the beginning there are a few busy roads to cross, the traffic was being controlled by the marshals to avoid any runners having to stop. You then turn off the busy roads onto a quieter path that follows the river Mersey, the terrain is mostly footpath but switches to a quite narrow trail which was a little difficult to run along. You then need to cross another busy road (again marshalled) reaching Parrs Wood and the first of the water stations (around 5.25km). The terrain again from here is a mixture of footpath and trail, there's also a particularly muddy patch before you reach the river again and reach the second water station )located pretty much halfway). You loop back here along the opposite side to the river, along a particularly sandy patch before re-joining the original path back towards the finish. The final 2km of the race contains the only significant hill work with a gradual hill at around 19.5km which turn up into a steeper section at around 20km before leveling back out for the final push to the finish. Overall a varied an interesting route with a wide difference in terrain, mostly off-road and well organised for the crossing of busy areas.
The Goodie Bag
The goodie bag was perhaps the only real let down of the race. Upon reaching the finish line there is a station handing out bottled water and energy drinks, for your "goodie bag" however you need to head back to Stockpot County's ground (only about 5 minutes' walk away). The Goodie Bag was actually an envelope containing the medal, a small pack of biscuits and an invitation to trade in your race number for a free ticket to a Stockport County football match. The medal is lovely and a nice quality, the biscuits were ok (we picked up bourbons and digestives, so a bit dry) but not really what you want straight after a race. The ticket is something we won't be bothering with as we'd rather keep put numbers. We'd heard rumours that last year one of the sponsor's (Robinson's Brewery) had handed out free beer so we were a little disappointed this wasn't the case this year.

Heartland Dryer Vent Closure
Keep your laundry area warm and bugs and rodents out.
Most houses will have a dryer vent flapper installed to keep cold air (not to mention bugs and rodents) out of your dryer and home. Flappers are effective at doing this and are inexpensive (about $5). If the flapper is your only option, be sure to check the mechanism occasionally since lint can cause it to get stuck—usually in an open position. That's like leaving a window open year-round.
For about $20-25 you can install a dryer vent cover that provides a more insulated and reliable mechanism. We went with the Heartland Dryer Vent Closure System. Sounds impressive, huh? There are also other similar models available but the Heartland had very good reviews.
When air blows out from the dryer, it raises the cup to allow air to flow out the bottom. The top of the dryer vent closure (not shown in here) holds the cup in. Once the dryer stops, the cup lowers and seals the dryer opening.
Installing the Heartland Dryer Vent ClosureInstallation was very easy, with one notable exception. I needed to put screws in concrete at my house. This was tough and time consuming. I didn't have any masonry screws and the screws provided weren't up to the task, so installation took longer than I anticipated. If I had the right tools (a masonry drill bit and masonry screws) it likely would have been easier.
The Heartland Dryer Vent Closure System at Work
Essentially, when the dryer starts blowing air, the small cup in the center of the dryer vent closure is pushed up letting the air out. When the dryer stops the cup falls back down and seals the airway.
Without the top on, the air from the dryer blows the cup right out of the vent closure. With the top on this doesn't happen. But if you don't have enough pressure for some reason you may need to order an accessory with a spring to make sure the cup rises enough. It's a good idea to test and make sure everything is working after installation.
Some Things to Consider
- If you need to attach the dryer vent closure to a concrete wall be prepared with masonry screws and possibly a masonry drill bit.
- If there's weak airflow you may need to get the spring accessory. My guess is this would be necessary for bathroom type venting, not dryers. You may also need to make sure your dryer hose is attached properly.
- Have some rope caulk available to form a tight seal around the edges.
Overall, I'm very happy with the Heartland 21000 Vent Closure System. In the dryer, it is only 1.4 degrees cooler than the laundry room (it was 9.0 degrees cooler before). No bugs or rodents can get in, and it looks good on the house.

Analysis of the Impact of Hypnosis on an Athlete (cricket)
This study analyzed the effect of hypnosis on the capabilities of a cricket leg-spin bowler. The popular sport of cricket requires skill and stamina. Like any sport, a player must have the physicality to play and confidence in his ability to play competitively. The subject in this study was a male bowler who played with a semi-professional team. He had been playing for 14 of his 21 years. A leg-spin bowler tries to spin the ball from right to left using wrist movement. Subject reported disappointing pre-season training results and poor performance during competition. He claimed to have diminished skill and imagined himself failing to deliver the ball. Negative self-talk had overwhelmed him, resulting in tension before a game.
Treatment plan included hypnosis, additional coaching and self-modeling. That is a method that has the subject watch a video of himself, on a day when he played exceptional cricket. Subject watched it before each game and followed it with self-hypnosis. Sports psychologists can use hypnosis to induce long-term changes in the athlete's self-efficacy by using verbal persuasion during the trance state (Bandura, 1997; Zinsser, Bunker, & Williams, 2001). Imagery during a trance can have a positive effect if it were the right type (Martin, Moritz, & Hall, 1999).
The study was designed as single-subject with baseline data points determined before each of 8 cricket matches. The baseline information is later compared to post-intervention data points intended to assess improvement. The researcher collected a third set of post-intervention data seven months after the end of the research project and continuing into the next 8 games of a new season. Data points refer to the time or place where information was gathered. The number and placement of data points varies from one study to another. The same means of collecting data is used at each point. The following were used in this study: The Bowling Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (Treasure, Monson, & Lox, 1996), The Trait Self-Confidence Inventory (Vealey, 1986), The Hypnotic Depth Scale (Sapp, & Evanhow, 1998). Final evaluation used game statistics and social validation data (Hanton, & Jones, 1999; Kazdin, 1982) that measured the subject's own impression of the treatment and his feelings about it.
Statistics showed a significant increase between pre-intervention and post-intervention. Scores fluctuated from 63 to a high of 91 with the mean at 75; the second series of 8 showed the mean elevated to 85 with some fluctuation and the follow-up indicated minimal fluctuation in level (mean of 87), except for the first game (85)and last game (89). Therefore, a significant increase from pre to post-intervention indicates that hypnosis was a successful tool for improving self- efficacy in this instance. The increase at follow-up showed that improvement continued for a 7-month period without further treatment except in the implementation of the self-hypnosis taught.
Past research into the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for athletes is limited and therefore somewhat inconclusive. However, results of this study point to the probability of it being a valuable treatment option. It should be noted that the coach, who was also the researcher, was schooled in hypnosis. Future studies should use cross-study guidelines with a large, randomized group of subjects and a control group.

The grading was as successful as usual with a fantastic turn out. Lots of new grades were rewarded and there were many happy faces.
Then it was onto the bbq. The sun was mega hot and the various gazebos provided some handy shade. There were many stalls offering food and fun games. The gladiator pugil sticks proved very popular. The food was as delicious as usual and the beer that I won on the hoops was soon gone after giving it to my dad :) !

The constructpTg-ranTRAD4-iHSP101 was used to generate the P. berghei i101 KD. This plasmid was based on pPRF-TRAD4-Tet07-HAPRFhDHFR but modified to include a BsiWI restriction site downstream of the profilin coding sequence and a BssHII restriction enzyme site between the profilin 5' untranslated region and the TRAD4 sequence. This enabled cloning of the first 1.7 kilobases (kb) of theHSP101 coding sequence (PbANKA_09312;amplified with DO390F, 5'-caccctgcagATGGTACGGAACATTGCTAAAAATT-3', and DO414R, 5'-gtatcgtacgccatggCTATAACTCTTGGTTTACCCG-3', the latter containing an internal NcoI site) into the PstI and BsiWI cloning sites and 0.85 kb of the HSP101 5' untranslated region (amplified using oligonucleotides DO392F, 5'-gtaccatggCGTACGGTATGCAATTGCTCTTAATGCATTTGC-3', and DO394R, 5'-tatgcgcgc TTTCTACTAAATTTATAGTAAATATAGATATA-3') into the NcoI and BssHII sites. Before transfection, DNA was linearized with NcoI.

Peer Review Process
All manuscripts submitted to the Canadian Acoustics are peer-reviewed according to the following procedure:
Initial review: The Editor-in-Chief evaluates each manuscript to determine if its topic and content is suitable for consideration by the Canadian Acoustics. Manuscripts that do not meet minimum criteria are returned to the authors within one week of receipt. This is in the best interest of the authors who could then decide to either correct the problems or to submit the manuscript to a more appropriate venue, avoiding delays from a lengthy review process that would nonetheless lead to rejection.
Peer review: Manuscripts that pass the initial review are assigned to an Associate Editor, who selects several referees based on their expertise in that particular field. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two referees who are kept anonymous. Referees are asked to evaluate the manuscript based on its originality, soundness of methodology, impact to design research, and relevance to design practices. To facilitate timely publication, referees are asked to complete their reviews within 4 weeks. After collecting the referees' reports, the Associate Editor makes a recommendation on the acceptability of the manuscript.
Recommendation: Based on the referees' comments and his own recommendation, the the Associate Editor's makes a final decision on the acceptability of the manuscript and communicates to the Editor-in-chief and to the authors the decision, along with referees' reports. The final decision can be "Accept Submission", "Revisions Required", "Resubmit for Review", "Resubmit Elsewhere", or "Decline Submission." A revised manuscript should be re-submitted within six months of the decision. It will usually be returned to the original referees for evaluation.
Conflict of Interest Policy for Editors of Canadian Acoustics journal
In what follows below, the word Editor(s) applies to the editor-in-chief, the deputy editor and the fifteen associate editors of the Canadian Acoutics journal, as listed in the journal website at jcaa.caa-aca.ca, under Home>About the journal. A paper submitted by one of the Editors will be handled by another Editor who is not at the same institution. The other Editor will select reviewers and make all decisions on the paper. The decision process will be handled in such a way that the submitting Editor does not have access to information or correspondence relating to the submission. In the case where the submitting Editor is the Editor-in-Chief, for technical reasons related to the credential structure of Open Journal System the editorial & publishing software used by Canadian Acoustics, the decision process will be handled in such a way that he does not alter the information or correspondence relating to the submission.
If an Editor feels that there is likely to be a perception of a conflict of interest in relation to their handling of a submission, they will declare it to the other Editors, and the paper will be handled in the same way as described above.
An Editor will declare a conflict of interest when a paper is submitted by an author whose relationship with this Editor might create the perception of bias (e.g., in terms of close friendship, conflict, or rivalry). Specifically, an Editor will declare a conflict of interest when a paper is submitted by:
an author at the same academic institution;
a family member of the Editor;
a current or former co-author of the Editor;
a current or former student of the Editor; or
a former doctoral thesis supervisor of the Editor.
The above list is indicative but not exclusive; other reasons for conflict of interest between Editor and Author may exist. The Editor who has declared a conflict of interest will not be involved in selecting referees or making any decisions on the paper.
With an initial submission of a paper, a corresponding author may alert the Editors to a potential conflict of interest regarding particular referees. The corresponding author must indicate the nature of the potential conflict of interest. Editors will exercise their discretion in assigning referees to ensure that all reviewers are "at arm's length" to the authors.

We've put together a few Toronto map designs and made them available to purchase as prints online. Each of the 5 prints below are available in multiple sizes ranging from $28 to $48.
Using the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's digital elevation model (DEM) we visualized the elevation across the whole province of Ontario.
Inspired by one of our favourites, Massimo Vignelli, we designed a map of rail transit in Toronto operated by the TTC (subways and streetcars)
Heavily inspired by the New York Times' incredible A Map of Every Building in America, we have created Every Building in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
This map is based on the City of Toronto's Annexation Map. The City of Toronto Archives have a high quality digital version of it here.
Wikipedia has a detailed timeline of Toronto's amalgamation and annexations between 1791 and today. This map was made possible because of Mapbox, Turf, and QGIS.
We selected, grouped and mapped the City of Toronto street trees that produce delicious (or at least edible) fruit. The species identified accounted for 22,124 trees or 3.8% of the more than half a million trees on public streets.
Entering its 18th year, the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon is one of the most important in North America. We thought it would be interesting to look at the growth of the marathon using the historical marathon results.
A simple tool to help plan meet ups in Trinity Bellwoods Park
I was always curious, when looking up at the TTC's subway map, what it actually looked like. I ended up recreating it to scale one day and was surprised by the response. Since the TTC is updating the map, I thought I would take another look at it, but with some analysis this time. Using Bernhard Jenny's MapAnalyst I was able to create a deformation grid over top of the subway map.
A brief look at stable neighbourhoods in the City of Toronto
Using the 2011 dissemination block boundaries we summed the 2016 dwelling counts to show change from the last census to the most recent one. Showing this change at the block level gives a very detailed perspective on where new housing is being built in the City of Toronto and surrounding areas.
30m digital elevation of model visualized using the three.js plugin for QGIS.
Orthoimagery of Toronto between 2011 and 2016
Using data provided by Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, we created a map that shows the submarine topology of the Great Lakes. The map is available as a 32" x 24" print.
Using Mapbox GL to create an interactive visualization of percent change.
This map shows population density at the dissemination block level from the 2016 census. Made using Mapbox GL JS

English Market, Cork City
Map Reference: W674718 (1674, 0718)
This huge food market was seriously damaged by fire in 1980. The interior has now been largely reconstructed. The entrance on Princes Street was designed by Sir John Benson in 1860. It is a three-storey faþade built in the Byzantine Revival style in polychromatic brick. The double height central archway has iron gates and is topped by a pediment within which is a Diocletian window. Within the building there are many shops on several levels. All of them are devoted to food.
The other entrance to the market is on Grand Parade. It was erected in 1881. It has a two-storey four-bay central block, flanked by single storey wings. There is a clock within the raised central pediment.

Don't hold on thinking there will be no one else, there will always be some else, who believes you are worth more than anything. And if you find a perfect admirer, there is no harm in sharing your personals and having an affair with them. But make sure to be safe enough while cheating. Here are some tips on how to have an affair and to rescue after cheating on your better half or beloved:
Change your secondary someone's name in your contact list:
Add the name of secondary someone, variant of your friends name or someone about whom your spouse would not think about much. The best idea for this is to save the contact in the name of a person belonging to the same sex, which rarely creates any doubt.
Log out of all the accounts which you log in into:
Don't take risk and make sure you log out of all the accounts which you generally use to communicate and don't leave any Internet message notified in your system or in your mobile phone. Getting rid of these evidences are generally very simple and fun. Just be simple and keep the things cleans.
Choose a secret carrier to communicate:
It is really very important to choose only one particular medium to chat, which helps to stop worrying about the evidence and allows to maintain your track cleaning easy.
Make sure to erase all messages:
When you are using that one particular medium to chat, don't be over sentimental and delete all the chats and unnecessary information, otherwise these nasty messages will create a great mess later.
Be sure not to have a photo evidence:
In this era of social media, don't make your pictures viral. If you are furious enough to save some sexy images, then install some secret vault apps and set a tricky password which no one can open it.
Share only with your best friends:
The less number of people aware of your extra relationships, the lesser will be chances of getting into the problems. Don't share each and every thing to people. Share with the ones who will listen to your words, maintain some secrecy and share only with the group of people whom you trust more than yourself.
Make it simple:
Make sure not to make the things very complicated, which you actually have. Don't exaggerate if you are caught. Plan a simple explanation most possibly beforehand and stick to your plan. Make sure you are close enough to the real story to avoid having greater mess.
Plan an excuse beforehand:
If you by chance got caught, then always be ready with the pre-planned excuse. But in case you are feeling terrible and planning to admit, then don't just begin to spill all the beans and hurt everyone involved.
If you are planning to cheat then don't be a moron, follow the above mentioned tips and play safe.

The British wife of a top American Islamic State fighter has said she was radicalised by the racism she experienced living in England.
Tania Georgelas, 33, said her upbringing led her to marry a Christian convert from Texas and leave for Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).
Mrs Georgelas, who is of Bangladeshi descent, said growing up as a second generation immigrant in Harrow, north-west London, she experienced "a lot of racism" which pushed her towards more radical Islam.

Deadly Feasts: The "Prion" Controversy and the Public's Health
a book by Richard Rhodes
(our site's book review)
In this brilliant and gripping medical detective story, Richard Rhodes follows virus hunters on three continents as they track the emergence of a deadly new brain disease that first kills cannibals in New Guinea and then cattle and young people in Britain and France—and that has already been traced to food animals in the United States. In a new Afterword for the paperback. Rhodes reports the latent U.S. and worldwide developments of a burgeoning global threat.
Deadly Feasts: The "Prion" Controversy and the Public's Health follows the trail of a group of related human and animal diseases spreading around the world. Collectively they have come to be called prion diseases, the best-known being mad-cow disease, and already it is believed by some in Britain and elsewhere in Europe that there is danger in eating beef, and possibly also lamb, venison, pork and chicken. The author raises the spectre of what he contends is an ineradicable, untreatable, fatal disease whose spread is insidious and, unless urgent action is taken, unstoppable. The book calls into question the wisdom of transplants and the safety of milk, meat, gelatine, soap, surgical sutures, supplements in processed foods, and even leather goods and common garden bonemeal.
Mad-cow disease is an ineradicable, untreatable, fatal disease whose spread is insidious and, unless urgent action is taken, unstoppable
Deadly Feasts: The "Prion" Controversy and the Public's Health says that "From a government perspective, a more limited North American response is reasonable because no cattle are known to have died of BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) here. From the perspective of those of us who live here, anything less than the most effective possible barrier against the insidious spread of a stealthy, untreatable, incurable and invariably lethal disease is gambling with our lives. Would we be comfortable knowing that only partial protection had been installed against HIV contaminating our commercial blood supply, if the virus were killing people elsewhere but had not yet found its way to where we live? That's how much protection the American governments have mandated against animal TSEs (transmissible spongiform encephalopathies)."
We count on our commercial blood supply to be safe from HIV and mad-cow disease

Dental work can get expensive, but by taking care of your teeth, you can actually save yourself money.
Good oral hygiene at home can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars at the dentist.
Here are some ways that you can take care of your smile and save money!
Brush and Floss to Maintain Healthy Teeth
While most of us brush our teeth at least twice a day, flossing may be a different story.
However, brushing AND flossing daily can have lasting benefits for your teeth to avoid cavities and other dental work down the road.
If you don't like flossing with the floss between your fingers, spend the extra money on flossing picks or a water jet; it will be worth it when you don't have to pay for a filling in a few months.
Plus, flossing regularly can help you avoid gum disease, which can require expensive dental surgeries or procedures.
Get into the habit of brushing and flossing now to save money later.
Choose the Right Oral Hygiene Tools
Not only is it important to brush and floss your teeth, it is also important to select the right tools for the job.
There are a number of toothbrushes, toothpastes, and mouthwashes to choose from, but going with the cheapest option may not be in your best interest.
Select a toothbrush with soft bristles to avoid damaging your gum tissue.
Get toothpaste and mouthwash with fluoride to help avoid tartar and plaque buildup.
Additionally, ask your dentist if he or she recommends any specialized dental products for you, and get them.
Spending a little extra on these tools can help boost your oral hygiene to avoid costly procedures.
Go to the Dentist for Regular Cleanings
Part of good oral hygiene includes visiting the dentist.
Many people think that they don't need to visit the dentist regularly.
While these visits do cost money, they will allow your dentist to identify oral health issues that, if left undetected and untreated, can get a lot more severe, requiring more dental work.
By visiting your dentist regularly, however, you will be able to prevent tooth decay and gum disease and avoid extensive dental procedures, saving you money in the long run.
Watch What You Eat
The food you eat directly impacts the health of your smile.
Avoid drinking acidic drinks on a regular basis because heavy consumption of these drinks can break down enamel, leading to more cavities.
Try using a straw if you do drink these acidic drinks to limit the contact between the drink and your teeth.
Additionally, acidic foods can have the same effects.
You don't have to avoid these foods altogether, but make sure you brush after eating a highly acidic meal or snack. Also, be aware of sugar, which leads to tooth decay.
Sugar can especially damage children's teeth, so it is important to monitor sugar intake for kids.
Following these tips won't guarantee that you won't get a cavity or need a dental procedure; however, these tips can help you maintain good oral hygiene to help you prevent problems in the future.

Aquaman #7,#8, #9, #10 and #11 Review
Aquaman #7 Review
Who destroyed Atlantis? In the start of a new storyline, we follow the hunter as he stalks and kills his prey, claiming their weapons and armor as trophies. A golden shield, a golden helm…and the final prize is the most powerful of all: a golden trident. The only problem is, he's going to have to go through Aquaman to get it. Who is he? What is the secret of Aquaman's trident? And how does this all tie into the destruction of Atlantis?
What I thought
The debut of Black Manta in the new DCU is executed very well. The art courtesy of Ivan Reis is beautiful, dynamic and awe inspiring with the splash pages. Black Manta has also been subtly redesigned but he looks great and nostalgic at the same time. Honestly Black Manta's stoicism makes him a very ominous presence. His brutality also seems to have motivation which is always good for a well rounded and multidimensional villain. The mystery of "The Others" also has me intrigued and Johns fleshing out of the Atlantis mythology has me glued to my seat! 5/5
Aquaman #8 Review
Part 2 of "The Other League"! As a deadly hunter continues his murderous quest for the Atlantean trident, an unknown chapter of Aquaman's life is revealed! Before he was a part of the Justice League, Aquaman was Arthur, the man from Atlantis, and leader of a mysterious team of adventurers. Armed with weapons forged in Aquaman's past, these men and women were on their way to becoming the most powerful people on Earth – until it all came crashing down.
What I thought
More of "The Others" past is revealed and how Aquaman's father died. The origin of the team is also revealed and why they each have an artifact from Atlantis. I loved the design of the team particularly Yawara and Prisoner. On the down side this issue really finished far faster than one would hope though in its defense things flew fast because it was such a good read. The art is still incredibly detailed and gorgeous. 3/5
Aquaman #9 Review
AQUAMAN and YA'WARA star in part three of the epic "THE OTHER LEAGUE!"
More secrets are revealed about the team AQUAMAN belonged to before the Justice League!
Plus: MERA learns a startling truth about ARTHUR'S past from Shin.
What I thought
All hail the prisoner and his very cool spooky powers. Cool design choice all around and the execution was right on the money! Hats off to Johns for literally rebuilding the Aquaman mythology from the ground up much the same way he did Green Lantern all those years ago. I also like the new dynamic of Aquaman and Black Manta. Their hatred of each other has been given layers which only serve to strengthen both characters substantially. I also must give kudos to Johns team "The Others" everyone seems so fleshed out and distinct I would literally give DC my money for an ongoing staring each once Johns was the one writing it. With every issue Ivan Reis continues to turn in top notch fantastic work. Lovely cover! 4/5
Aquaman #10 Review
"THE OTHERS" part four!
The Others are reunited when the hero called VOSTOK-X arrives on Earth.
MERA learns more about Arthur's violent past from SHIN.
What I thought
Johns continues to expand on the mythology of Atlantis while filling in the blanks of "The Others" and Aquaman. This issue also cements the hate between Arthur and Manta. The Operative also takes center stage for a cool introduction, art is as detailed as always and those splash pages are a dream, also great looking cover!! Black Manta is an excellent villain!
Aquaman #11 Review
"THE OTHERS" part five!
AQUAMAN and THE OTHERS catch up with Black Manta – but are they really united as a team?
What I Liked
Awesome cover! Absolutely gorgeous rendition of Aquaman with his trident through Manta's helmet with Blood just oozing out while the background is a bloody ominous red, love the composition with Aquaman literally in the center and the logo not obscuring anything!
Badass- This has been a guilty pleasure of mine for awhile now. In the past before Grant Morrison Aquaman was a joke. I loved the edge one handed rendition of Morrison but this clean cut version from John is a darker more brooding far more engaging character. I'm interested in seeing where this character is going. Ivan Reis continues to do stellar work on art.
The problem this issue was that instead of progressing things in a substantial way more time was spent with character biographies and brings new readers up to speed for what happens next issue. This makes the issue highly accessible but for those following the book it's disappointing. 3/5
