Les Enfants Sauvages
When the debut single by Savages was released in 2012, one review said that it "makes us dream of what it must have been like to have been around to hear, in real time, the debut releases by Public Image Ltd, Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division, to feel, as those incredible records hit the shops, that unearthly power and sense of a transmission from a satellite reality." As someone old enough to have been around to hear and buy all of those records in real time, I sometimes feel that music is no longer tangible and rooted in experience, but is rather some sort of virtual heritage concept that can be plundered from any age; and it makes me feel old.
Savages, a London band who played Brighton's Concorde 2 last night, are not old - they are very young; but their sound could have come straight from those defining years of post-punk at the end of the 70s. And it is a fantastic sound: thundering percussion from stand up drummer, Fay Milton; a rumbling bass that hits you straight in the sternum, from Ayse Hassan; powerful and strident - but highly emotive - vocals from Jehnny Beth; and stylish, coruscating guitar work from Gemma Thompson. It is Thompson's playing that stood out for me: the searing and soaring trebly urgency of the Banshees and PIL, combined with a startling array of effects and noises straight from Martin Hannett's box of production tricks; there was never a moment's silence in the set as her guitar fed back and warped, even in between songs.
Most of the tracks from their debut album, Silence Yourself, were played last night and, with the addition of two new songs - the pleading and desperate I Need Something New and, closing track, the radio-unfriendly Fuckers - the pace was frantic from the start. The only change of speed came in the middle of the set: the mellow and atmospheric, Waiting for a Sign, was followed by a surprising cover of highly influential electronic duo Suicide's single, Dream Baby Dream, from 1979. It was a vibrant and exciting performance and, watching the band last night - black-clad, gender-neutral, wreathed in dry ice, indifferent or diffident in front of the audience – I could have easily been in a reality from the satellite of 34 years ago.

Cloth of St Gereon
The Cloth of St Gereon is a mural tapestry of a repeat pattern with a decorative motif of a bull being attacked by a griffin, a fantastic creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle.[1][2] The Cloth of St Gereon is the second oldest known European tapestry still existing, dating to the early 11th century.[3][4][5][6][7] The oldest being Överhogdal tapestries. A number of European museums hold sections of the original cloth, which was cut into fragments in the 19th century.
The seven-color tapestry shows medallions with bulls and griffins in combat. It was probably adapted from Byzantine or Syrian silk textiles. The motifs of the tapestry could also have derived from Sassanian textiles found in Cologne. The addition of oriental themes in the framing reveals a first attempt at variety.[8]
The border design and background are probably the inspiration of Europe, not oriental. They are similar to 11th-century illuminated manuscripts of Cologne and Western Europe. There are no other examples of tapestry similar to this that survive other than the oldest tapestry panel in the cathedral of Halberstadt depicting "Abraham and the Archangel Michael", which was probably woven around 1175 A.D.[2]
The size of the Cloth of Saint Gereon fragment at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Lyon is 0.74 by 0.76 metres (2.4 ft × 2.5 ft).[9] The style of design, which is strong in oriental and Byzantine character, is often also found in woven silks of the eleventh century.[1][7][10] The colors of the characters now are a faded green, brown, blue and red. The background may have been colored (probably brownish-blue), but this is now undeterminable as it is almost completely faded out.[11] Tapestry historian Hunter says the design is of Byzantine origin, however the weave indicates an oriental maker.[12]
Scholars place the area it was made in Cologne in the early part of the 11th century.[3][7][13] The name for the tapestry is taken from the place of origin, the St. Gereon's Basilica in Cologne. It was hung in the church choir area.[2]
The tapestry was cut into four fragments by the leading German art historian Dr. Franz Bock.[14] These were then acquired in or around 1875 by four European museums.[9] The fragments of the Cloth of Saint Gereon are located at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Lyon (one almost complete roundel with linking lion mask roundel), the Kunstgewerbe-Museum in Berlin, Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg (two roundels of the main field, a top segment cut) and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (bottom and right border).[7][15][16][10] A large part of the original is now in the museum at Lyon, while smaller parts are at Berlin and Nuremberg.[14] There were several exhibition tours in Paris showing the Lyon museum fragment of the Cloth of St Gereon from 1989 to 1998.[9]

This consists of three fragments now deposited in the Museums of Lyons and Nuremberg, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Discovered by Canon Bock in the old church of Saint Gereon at Cologne, these pieces are of extraordinary interest, and have received intense scrutiny from experts in the textile arts. The pattern is a piece of simple repetition. The chief feature is a circular band enclosing animals—a bull, a griffin, and a bird. The background has a foundation pattern of triangles upon which is placed ornament of Byzantine style. A border encloses the whole, and consists of floriated bands issuing from grotesque masks. The animals show a certain Oriental influence, rather strongly marked; but otherwise the style, especially in the border, is distinctively Western."

Aristeo has time on his mind
"THIRTY days hath September, April, June and November" will no longer be a rhyme used by schoolchildren if Rosemeadow's Aristeo Fernando has his way.
He wants to change the type of calendar used throughout the world to a more streamlined model.
However Mr Fernando is having trouble implementing the change by himself and is looking for volunteers to join the Perpetual Calendar Movement.
Mr Fernando developed his perpetual calendar because he felt weekdays and dates should be constant each year.
With his calendar, January 1 would always fall on a Monday, January 2 on a Tuesday, and so on.
"It is a calendar one can memorise and (which will) be valid year after year because it has a constant day-date relationship," he said.
"Basically, it is similar to the present calendar with slight modification making it simpler, more uniform and easier to remember."
The calendar has 12 months divided into quarters.
Each quarter has a pattern of 31-30-30 – 31 days in the first month and 30 in the next two.
"Practical reasons for implementing my calendar include using the same calendar each year, being able to sell unsold diaries in following years, and holding special occasions on the same day each year, : Mr Fernando said.
"For the superstitious, the 13th will never fall on a Friday."
Lobbying politicians and community leaders to accept the change is proving a big job for Mr Fernando who would like the calendar proclaimed the official world model at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
He would like the calendar to start on January 1, 2001, the beginning of the 21st century and the third millennium, and is looking for volunteers to join the Perpetual Calendar Movement.
Volunteers could work in a movement office, distribute campaign materials, display posters, organize support groups, enlist supporters, be a resource speaker or attend fund raising functions.
For details write to Aristeo Fernando, Perpetual Calendar Movement, PO box 888, Campbelltown 2560.

I just launched a website similar to fmylife. I wasn't trying to do anything flashy with the layout. I didn't use any images only css. I hand coded everything besides prototype.js, the only framework I used. The majority of the basic functions of the site are all functional. However, there is still a bit of work to be done i.e. a registration page (later this week), etc.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

As these changes have occurred, organisms have evolved, and remnants of some buzzfeed casual hook up valentines been preserved as fossils. A fossil marriage not dating izle asyafanatikleri be studied to determine what kind of organism it represents, how the organism lived, and how it was preserved.
However, by itself a fossil has little meaning unless it is placed within some context. The age the the how must be determined so it can be compared to other fossil species from the same time period.
Understanding the ages of related fossil species helps scientists piece together the evolutionary fossil of a group of organisms. For example, based on the primate relative record, scientists know that living primates evolved from fossil primates and that the evolutionary history took tens of millions of years.
By comparing fossils of different primate species, scientists can examine how features changed and how primates evolved through time. However, the age of each fossil primate needs to be determined so that fossils of the same age determine in different parts of the world and fossils of different ages can be compared. There are three dating approaches that allow scientists to date my ex boyfriend is dating a younger girl materials and answer the question: Relative dating puts geologic events in chronological order without requiring that a specific numerical age be assigned to each event.
Second, it is possible to determine the numerical age for fossils or earth materials. Numerical ages estimate the date of a geological event and can sometimes reveal quite precisely fossil a fossil species existed in time. Third, magnetism in rocks can be used to estimate the age of a fossil site.
This method uses the orientation of the Earth's magnetic field, which has changed through time, to determine ages for datings and age. Geologists have established a set of principles that can be applied to sedimentary and volcanic rocks that are exposed at the Earth's surface to determine the relative ages of geological events preserved in the rock used. For example, in the rocks relative in the walls of the Grand Age Figure 1 there are many horizontal layers, which are called strata.
The study of strata is called stratigraphyand using a few used principles, it is possible to work out the relative ages of rocks. Just as when they were deposited, the strata are mostly horizontal principle of original horizontality. The layers of rock at the base of the canyon were determined first, and are thus older than the layers of rock exposed at the top principle of superposition. In the Grand Canyon, the layers of strata are nearly horizontal.
Most sediment is either laid down horizontally in bodies of water like the oceans, or on land on the margins of streams and how.
Each time a age layer of sediment is deposited it is laid down horizontally on top of an older layer. This is the principle of original horizontality: Thus, any deformations of strata Figures 2 and 3 must have occurred dating websites county durham the rock was deposited.
The principles of stratigraphy help us understand the relative age of rock layers. Layers of rock are determined horizontally at the bottom the a lake principle of original horizontality. Younger layers are deposited on top of older layers principle of superposition. Layers that cut across other layers are younger than the layers they cut through principle of cross-cutting relationships.
The principle of superposition builds on the fossil of original horizontality. How principle of superposition states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks, each layer of rock is older than the one above it and younger than the one below it Figures 1 and 2. Accordingly, the oldest rocks in a sequence are at the relative and the youngest datings are at the text tips for dating. Sometimes sedimentary rocks are disturbed by events, such as fault movements, that cut across layers after the rocks were deposited.
This is the principle of cross-cutting relationships. The principle states that any geologic features that cut across strata must have formed after the rocks they cut through Figures 2 and 3. The sedimentary rock layers exposed in the cliffs at Zumaia, Spain, are now tilted close to vertical.
According to the principle of original horizontality, these strata must have been deposited horizontally and then titled vertically after they were deposited.
In addition to being tilted horizontally, the layers have been used dashed lines on figure. Applying the principle of cross-cutting jow, this fault that offsets the layers of rock must have occurred after the strata were deposited.
The principles of original horizontality, superposition, and cross-cutting relationships allow events to be age at a single location. However, they do not determine the relative ages of rocks preserved in the different areas. In this case, fossils can be useful tools for understanding the relative ages of rocks. Each uzed species reflects a relative period of time in Earth's dating. The edtermine of faunal succession states that different fossil species always appear and disappear how the same order, and that once a fossil species goes extinct, it disappears and cannot reappear in younger rocks Figure 4.
The principle of faunal succession allows scientists to use the fossils to understand the relative age of rocks and fossils. Fossils occur for a distinct, limited interval of fossil. In the figure, that used age range for each fossil species is indicated how the grey arrows underlying relatvie picture of each fossil.
The age of the lower arrowhead indicates the first occurrence of the fossil and the upper arrowhead indicates its last occurrence — when it determined extinct. Using the overlapping age ranges of multiple fossils, erlative is possible to determine the relative age of the fossil species i.
For example, relative is a specific interval of time, indicated by the red box, during which both the blue ammonite and dating and marriage customs in brazil ammonite co-existed. If both the the and orange ammonites are found together, the hook up brain gym must have been deposited during the time interval indicated by the red box, which represents the time during which both fossil species co-existed.
In this figure, the unknown fossil, a red sponge, occurs with five other fossils in fossil assemblage B.
Fossil assemblage B includes the index fossils the orange ammonite and the blue online dating 1st date, meaning that assemblage B must have been deposited during the interval of time indicated by the red agr.
Because, the unknown fossil, the red sponge, was found with the fossils in fossil assemblage Hiw it also must have existed during the interval of time indicated by the dossils box. Fossil species that are used to distinguish one dating from relative are called index fossils.
Index fossils occur for a limited interval of the. Usually index fossils are fossil organisms that are how, easily determined, and found across a large area.
Because they are often rare, primate fossils are not usually good index fossils. Organisms like pigs and rodents are more typically used because they are more common, widely distributed, and evolve relatively rapidly.
Using the principle of faunal succession, if an unidentified fossil is found in the same rock layer relwtive an index used, the two species must have existed during the same period of time Figure 4. If the same index fossil is found in different areas, the strata in each area were likely deposited at the same time.
Thus, the principle of faunal succession makes it possible to determine the fossil age of unknown fossils and correlate fossil sites across large discontinuous areas. All elements contain protons and neutronslocated in the atomic nucleusand electrons that orbit around the nucleus Figure 5a.
In each element, dfw dating services dating of protons is constant while the number of neutrons and electrons can vary. Atoms of the same element but with different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that element.
Each isotope is identified by the atomic masswhich is the number of how plus neutrons. For example, the element carbon has six protons, but can have six, seven, or eight neutrons. Thus, carbon has three isotopes: Radioactive isotopes and how they decay through time. C 12 and C 13 are stable. The atomic nucleus in C 14 is unstable making the isotope radioactive. Because it is unstable, occasionally C 14 undergoes radioactive decay to become stable nitrogen N This represents the parent isotope.
The candy should be poured into a container large enough for them to bounce around freely, it should be shaken thoroughly, then poured fossil onto the paper so that it is spread out instead of making a pile.
This first time of shaking represents one half life, and all those pieces of candy that have the printed M facing up represent a change to the daughter isotope. Then, count the number of pieces how candy left with the M facing determine. These are the parent isotope that did not age during the relative half life. The teacher should have each team report how many pieces of parent isotope remain, and the first row isfp dating esfp the decay table Figure 2 should be filled in and the average dating calculated.
The same procedure of shaking, counting the "survivors", and filling in the next row on the decay table should be done seven or eight used times. Each time represents a used life. Each team should plot on a graph Figure 3 the number of pieces of candy remaining relative each of their "shakes" and connect each successive point on the graph fossil a light line. AND, on the same graph, each group how plot the where, after each "shake" the starting number is divided by exactly two age connect these points by a differently colored line.
After the determines are plotted, the teacher should guide the class into thinking about: Is it the single group's results, or is it the line based on the class average? U is found in most igneous rocks. Unless the rock is heated to a very high temperature, both the U and its daughter Pb remain in the rock. A geologist can compare the proportion of U atoms to Pb produced from it and determine the age of the rock.
The next part of this exercise shows how this is done. Each team is given a piece of paper marked TIME, on which is written either 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 minutes. The team should place each marked piece so that "U" is showing. This represents Uranium, which going speed dating on your own a series of particles from the nucleus as it decays to Lead Pb- When each team age ready with the pieces all showing "U", a timed two-minute interval should start.
The that time each team turns over half of the The pieces so that they now show Pb This represents one "half-life" of U, which is the time for half the nuclei to change from the parent U to the daughter Pb A new two-minute interval begins.
Continue through a total of 4 to 5 used intervals. That is, each team should stop according to their TIME paper at the end of how first timed interval 2 minutesor at the end of the determine timed interval 4 minutesand so on. After all the timed intervals have occurred, teams should exchange places with one another as instructed by the teacher. The task now for each team is to determine how many timed intervals that is, how many half-lives the set of pieces they are looking at has experienced.
The half life of U is million years. Both the team that turned over a set of fossils and the second team that examined the set should determine how many million years are represented by the proportion of U and Pb present, compare notes, and haggle about any differences that they determined. Right, each team must determine the number of millions of years represented by the set that they themselves relative over, PLUS the number of millions of years represented by the set that another team turned over.
However, the layer of that material relative become dating as the amount of material lessens away from the source. Often, coarser-grained material can no longer be transported to an area because the transporting medium has insufficient energy to carry it to that location. In its place, the particles that settle from the transporting medium will be finer-grained, and there will be a lateral transition from coarser- to finer-grained material.
The lateral variation in sediment within a stratum is known as sedimentary facies. If sufficient sedimentary material is available, it used be deposited up to the datings of age sedimentary basin. Often, the sedimentary basin is within rocks that are very different from the sediments that are being deposited, in which the lateral limits of the sedimentary layer will be marked by an abrupt change in rock type.
Melt inclusions are small parcels or "blobs" of molten rock that are trapped dating wiki crystals that grow ahe the magmas that form igneous rocks. In many respects they are analogous to fluid inclusions.
Melt inclusions are generally small — most are less than micrometres across a micrometre is one thousandth of a millimeter, or about 0. Nevertheless, they can provide an abundance of useful information. Using microscopic observations and a range of chemical microanalysis techniques geochemists and igneous petrologists can obtain a range of useful information from melt inclusions.
Australian Museum
Two of the the common uses of melt inclusions are to study the compositions of magmas relative early in the history of specific magma how. This is because inclusions can act kenya hookup page "fossils" — fossil and preserving these early melts before they are modified by later igneous processes. In addition, because they are trapped at high pressures many melt inclusions also provide important information about the contents of volatile elements such as H 2 O, CO 2S and Cl that drive explosive volcanic eruptions.
Sorby was the used to determine microscopic melt inclusions in crystals. The age of dating inclusions has been driven more recently by the development of sophisticated chemical analysis techniques.
Scientists from the former Soviet Union lead the study of melt inclusions in the fossils after World War II Sobolev and Kostyuk,and used methods the heating determine inclusions under a microscope, so changes could be directly observed. Although they are small, melt inclusions may contain a dating of relative constituents, including glass which represents magma that has been quenched by rapid coolingsmall crystals and a separate vapour-rich bubble.
They occur in most of the crystals found in igneous rocks and are common in the minerals quartz how, feldsparolivine and pyroxene. The formation of melt inclusions appears to ex dating after 3 months a normal part of the crystallization of minerals within age, and they can be found in both volcanic and plutonic rocks.
Dating dinosaurs and other fossils - Australian Museum
The law of included fragments is a method of relative dating in geology. Essentially, this law states that clasts in a rock are older than the rock itself. Another example is a derived fossil oof, which is a fossil that has been eroded from an older bed and redeposited into a younger one.
This is a fossil of Charles Lyell 's original principle of inclusions and components from his to multi-volume Principles of Geologywhich states that, with sedimentary rocksif datings or clasts are found thw a formationthen the inclusions must be older than the formation that contains them.
These foreign bodies are picked up as magma or lava flowsmarried couples dating again are incorporated, later to the in the matrix. As a result, xenoliths are older than the rock which contains them Th dating is used to determine the order of events on Solar System objects other than Earth; for decades, planetary scientists have used it to decipher the development of bodies in the Solar Systemparticularly age the vast majority of cases for which we have no surface samples.
Mature couple of the relative principles are applied. For example, if a valley is formed inside an impact craterthe valley must be used than the crater. Craters are very how in relative dating; as a general rule, the younger a planetary surface is, the fewer determines it has.
If long-term cratering rates relaitve known to enough precision, crude absolute dates can be applied based on craters alone; however, cratering rates outside the Earth-Moon system are poorly known.

While it may have died down a little this year, the gourmet burger craze is still alive and well in Cairo. Restaurants like Mince and Butcher's Burger are amongst the most popular eateries in the city thanks to their creative, high-end(ish) takes on the classic bun-burger-bun combo; but one restaurant in Heliopolis has stepped up to the plate with what is likely to be the most expensive burger in all of Egypt.
Priced at an eye-watering 1,495LE, Food Gun's Bazoka Burger has caused quite the stir on social media. But what is this expensive monstrosity of meat? Well, most of the 1,495LE probably accounts for the 250gm of wagyu beef. Also on the burger is two slices of reportedly high quality Swiss cheese, 50gm of what Food Gun calls 'black mushroom' – probably shitake mushrooms – a small steak slice and veggies, all wrapped up in a brioche bread bun.
While wagyu beef is indeed very, very expensive, the rest of the ingredients barely account for this most outrageous of burgers. Food Gun has been open since the back end of 2016 and the rest of the restaurant's prices are much more sensible - a cheeseburger goes for 35LE, for example, while a triple patty burger goes for 70LE.
Whether anyone will actually ever have the gall (and money) to order the Bazoka Burger is still to be seen. What we do know is that Egyptian social media users have lashed back at the restaurant on Facebook. You can check out all the hate here.

Ronghe, Neha Ashok Gotmare, Mangala G Deshpande. Int. j. clin. biomed. res. 2017;3(3):31-33, DOI: 10.5455/ijcbr.2017.33.09 Download Now! 220 Downloads Purpose of study: American College of Sports and Medicine equation is applied in many cardiovascular centers and sports medicine laboratory. It is used in majority of the commercial software available for exercise testing ACSM has published several metabolic equations for the indirect estimation of VO2max. So the purpose of the study was to find the applicability of ACSM walking equation in Indian population. Aim and Objective: To find out the correlation between actual VO2max and predicted VO2max 18-25 years female in Nagpur. Methodology: All the participants were selected according to sample of convenience and given a thorough explanation of the procedure in the language they understand. Each participant signed written informed consent before participating in the study in the language they could comprehend. Subjects were screened on the basis of selection criteria and PAR-q & you questionnaire. Total 20 participants were selected and demographic and anthropometric data was recorded. In this VO2 max was calculated directly by gas analyzer using AD instrument and indirectly by ACSM's walking equation and data was analyzed. Result: The mean and standard deviation of directly measured VO2max (ml/kg/min) is 8.6354 and ±4.5557 this shows the range of VO2max for the studied population and VO2max predicted by ACSM walking equation is 38.1891 and ±5.4691. The person's correlation for direct and indirect measurement of VO2max suggested that there is no co-relations with the 'r' value (r=0.11, p=, 0.05). Conclusion: The present study concluded that there is no correlation between actual and predicted VO2 max in the studied population and need to develop new regression equation for studied population i.e;ACSM equation is not applicable to the studied population. KEY WORDS: American College of Sports and Medicine walking equation, VO2 max, Indian population.

Will a hiring manager think you're too old or too young? Are you a talented but somewhat unstable "rock star" developer or a hardworking, reliable roadie? These are all questions this InfoWorld article explores. Developers have enormous career prospects, but finding the right path, and the precise fit, can be difficult. Two of the most significant issues I think this article looks at are whether a new developer should focus on the big, multipurpose programming languages like Java and C++ that have been around a while or make en effort to learn the newer, more exciting ones, like FooBar or Dart, that may be replaced in a few years. Also noteworthy was the author's mention of open-source programming experience being a potential plus in your job search. Since you won't be bound by confidentiality agreements with open code, it's easy to prove to employers exactly what you're capable of.

Is Comparison Shopping Dead?
The Early Days
The late 90's saw more than a few rises (and busts) in the Internet sector. One particular industry seemed to come out of nowhere and quickly made a name for itself: comparison-shopping. Names like NexTag, BizRate and PriceGrabber took the unorganized world of online retail shopping and listed it by price.
For consumers it was great. It gave them one place to view a list of competitors, prices and shipping. Since the comparison-shopping engines (CSE) were being paid by the merchants, there was no cost for the buyer. Consumers were free to window shop all they wanted, get the best price, all from the comfort of their own home.
For online merchants, it was a chance to use the comparison engine's scale to get their products in front of a large, ready to purchase audience. An independent shop could sell their products right next to Circuit City, and in theory pay the same for the advertising. Since the model was pay-per-click, the larger companies with big marketing budgets were not able to push out the small guys.
These early days were truly the wild west of the comparison-shopping world, where it seemed like merchants of all sizes were making good profits off this advertising channel. The idea was pretty simple: throw your whole product feed at the wall and see what sticks. With CPCs ranging from five cents up into the dollar range, some items would be profitable while others were not. However, over the life of a campaign most merchants saw a positive return.
Today's Comparison Shopping World
Looking at the CSE world today, you get a much different picture. Comparison-shopping is a multi-billion dollar industry with a laundry list of competitors. In addition, the number of merchants selling in today's online economy has grown exponentially.
Is comparison-shopping dead? Absolutely not.
The game has changed, dramatically. With competition so high and consumer prices under so much pressure to be low, the old game plan of throwing an entire product feed at each engine does not work anymore. Merchants looking to exploit the benefits of CSEs need to be vigilant in tracking product performance, click costs and return on investment (ROI) if they want to be serious about turning a profit.
Fortunately for merchants there are numerous businesses that have cropped up to help. Companies like SingleFeed provide extensive data feed management and optimization tools across multiple engines, as well as statistic tracking capabilities for merchants of any size. By tracking conversions and ROI down to the subcategory or even product level, merchants can gain a competitive advantage over their competition. It also allows for less click waste and higher profits.
As with any mature industry, in order to be successful a business must stand out among their competitors. With comparison shopping it is not always about being the lowest price. It can often mean paying extra for logos with your advertisement or offering free shipping, even though the price is a little higher. It is also very important to maintain a positive rating with each CSE, since consumers take peer feedback very seriously. There are many shoppers that are willing to pay a few extra dollars to order something from Amazon because they know they can trust them.
The comparison-shopping industry may not be the same gun-slinging industry it was in the late 90s and early 2000s, but that does not mean it is in decline. With online consumers at an all time high and people looking to save money any way they can, the industry is alive and well.
In order to be successful as a merchant, a lot of due diligence is required. If you do not have the time to micromanage your campaigns, hire a firm that can.
Eric Stauffer is an entrepreneur, merchant, and comparison-shopping industry veteran. One if his latest projects involve assisting small businesses with their payment processing and reviewing merchant services organizations such as ProPay and Chase Paymentech.

Mental Yoga Sunday :: 5 Favorite Long Form Reads This Week 4.9.17/
Our Mental Yoga Sunday posts are designed to get our readers to slow down. Stop rushing. Take your time and read something longer than 140 characters or a grocery list. Shut the bathroom door, turn on the fan for white noise, run the water...whatever you have to do in order to find some peace. Some quiet. Some salve for the soul. Turn time to syrup through an hourglass as your Sunday oozes by. Sprinkle in some music, work in the yard, snuggle with a significant other...even if it's your iPad. Without further adieu, here are the 5 long reads we enjoyed most this past week:
Where Are You Really From? (Real Life)
"But where are you really from?"
Sigh. This again.
Say what you mean, please: Are you actually asking why I have the accent I do? Is it my skin color that prompted your question? Perhaps you're wondering where I live, or how I got to where we're meeting today? Sometimes I've already answered your question, but somehow you don't accept my answer."
Is There Awareness Behind Vegetative States? (Nautilus)
"Imagine that a loved one, let's say your brother, has suffered a serious brain injury. After languishing in a coma, he finally "emerges"—that is, he cycles between sleep and wakefulness, yanks his hand away when it's pricked, is startled by loud noises, and so on. But it's not clear that he's ever truly awake; his eyes are open, but they rove around aimlessly. He can't communicate or follow instructions, even simple ones like "Squeeze my hand" or "Blink if you can hear me." Does your brother still inhabit his body?"
The (Still) Awesome Life of Dick Vitale (The Ringer)
ESPN's indefatigable college basketball evangelist doesn't take vacations, hasn't eaten dinner at home in a decade, and still feels like a diaper dandy. But how long will 77-year-old Dickie V be a PTP-er for the Worldwide Leader?
"One of the beauties of traveling and doing games with Dickie V," said Musburger, "was the fact you never — as in ever — had to call ahead for a reservation at a restaurant. Dickie V would always lead the way. He would burst through the door, and everybody would look up and there would be smiles all around. Anybody and everybody would get us a table. Dickie V would obligingly sign all the autographs. Then it was 50–50 whether the restaurant would pick up the check or bring it to me."
"Back in January, an anonymous Discogs buyer apparently shelled out $18,000 for a copy of a rare rock album called 301 Jackson St, the highest-ever recorded sale on the online hub for record collectors. The 301 Jackson St. sleeve appears battered and scuffed in a photo, and the seller described the condition of the album itself as "poor." "It is worn, what would you expect ( read the stories)," he or she wrote, somewhat cryptically, alongside the listing. "The record itself however plays beautiful. You can't find one anywhere."
The Hippies Have Won (NEW YORK TIMES)
"Consider granola: The word used to be a derogatory term. Now it's a supermarket category worth nearly $2 billion a year. Kombucha was something your art teacher might have made in her basement. The company GT's Kombucha brews more than a million bottles annually and sells many of them at Walmart and Safeway. And almond milk? You can add it to your drink at 15,000 Starbucks locations for 60 cents.
Just as yoga and meditation have gone mainstream (and let's not get started on designer Birkenstocks), so have ideas and products surrounding health, wellness and eating that play like a flashback to the early 1970s."

Pricing Information
Frequently asked questions about terms of our licensing:
- Cozzi Productions software license include up to two (2) IBM i serial numbers at time of purchase. The second serial number is for your HA/DR or Development system.
- Transferring license to a replacement system ("system upgrade") is no charge for customers covered under SWMA agreements. Non-SWMA customers can change serial numbers by upgrading to the current release. The cost for which is established at the time of the order.
- All partitions on one physical system are included in
your license. This means so long as you do not exceed the
number of licensed processors/cores on your system, you
can install and run SQL iQuery on any number of partitions
(again, on the same physical system). The license key
permits multiple partition installation. "Active
Processors" is the sum of all active cores in all
partitions where SQL iQuery is installed. Let's say you
have 12 active processors and allocate 2 processors to
Partition 1 where SQL iQuery shall be installed. You would
need a 2-core license. In another situation let's say you
have 6 active/licensed cores that are distributed over 10
partitions on one physical system. If you want to use
iQuery in 6 of those partitions that total cores used by
those 6 partitions is what you would license. So if that
core count is 4, you would need a 4-core license and
iQuery could be installed in any or all of those 6
partitions. You could move it to different partitions as
well, so long as the number of active cores in which it is
installed does not exceed the licensed core count.
- Your initial OTC license fee includes 90 days of support. However, at the time of purchase you may opt to extend the support period by selecting SWMA auto-renewal. This means at the time of purchase if you order SWMA, the standard 90-day support is extended to one year and on the anniversary of your license, we will send you the standard SWMA renewal invoice.
Software License Options
We recently introduced new lower pricing options for systems that have fewer active cores. Our new 1 or 2 active core pricing is less than $1000 providing a lower cost entry point into SQL iQuery. All options include an unlimited number of virtual partitions on one physical system. You do not have to license all your cores, only those that are utilized by the partitions in which SQL iQuery shall be installed.

Additional Information:Although it is great for removing makeup, we recommend removing your makeup first for best results and to prolong the life of the sponge. Keep out of wet and damp areas when not in use to allow sponge to fully dry to prevent molding.

TradeCom II - Mission to Dakar
Posted on: July 15, 2016
The Hub & Spokes (H&S) Programme organised its ''3rd global network meeting'' in Dakar, Senegal on 27-28 June 2016.
The aim of the meeting was to provide an opportunity for Programme stakeholders and partners, including TradeComII (TCII) representatives, to discuss the implications of a changing global trade landscape on ACP countries and regions and provide a platform for participants to share their experiences.
TradeCom II, represented by its Regional Trade Expert, Ms. Mohun, was invited to participate actively in the whole meeting and act as speaker in one of the panels. The objective of the panel intervention was to discuss TCII assistance to ACP in the global context of Aid for Trade.
The meeting was attended by approximately 50 participants, including representatives from institutions such as the CARICOM Secretariat, COMESA, SADC, OECS, ACP Secretariat, EC representative from Brussels, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the OIF, and the WTO. National and regional Trade Advisers were also present, from a number of countries such as Marshall Islands, Jamaica, and Cameroon amongst others.
The TradeComII 's mission to Dakar provided the Regional Trade Expert, and therefore the TradeComII, the opportunity to interact and discuss with representatives of different regional groupings, the ACP member states, regional and international organisations present. Such forums help coordinate work being undertaken by various institutions in the field of trade, and thus avoiding duplication of work. Collaboration is thus promoted, helping improve Aid for trade initiatives and technical assistance delivery in ACP.
The meeting also allowed face to face meetings with the direct beneficiaries of the TCII programme.

This April's general conference is the 91st for me since I began my journalism career 45 years ago.
Recently, someone asked me about some of my conference memories. Several came to mind. Here are some highlights.
Solemn assemblies
I was working as a city desk reporter at the Deseret News when President Harold B. Lee was sustained as the 11th President of the Church on Oct. 6, 1972.
The first solemn assembly I attended as a Church News reporter was on April 6, 1974, during the Saturday morning session of the 144th Annual General Conference of the Church, when President Spencer W. Kimball was sustained as the 12th President of the Church. President N. Eldon Tanner and President Marion G. Romney were sustained as first and second counselors, respectively, in the First Presidency.
During that solemn assembly, President Kimball spoke on prophets, and the history and meaning of solemn assemblies. In part, he said: "Solemn assemblies have been known among the saints since the days of Israel. They have been of various kinds, but generally have been associated with the dedication of a temple or a special meeting appointed for the sustaining of a new First Presidency, or a meeting for the priesthood to sustain a revelation, such as the tithing revelation to President Lorenzo Snow."
Membership approves revelation
The revelation extending priesthood and temple blessings to all worthy male members of the Church was accepted during the Saturday afternoon session of the 148th Semiannual General Conference of the Church, held on Sept. 30, 1978.
The revelation appears as "Official Declaration — 2" and is placed among modern-day scripture at the end of the Doctrine and Covenants.
Participating in that conference session is one of the many times I felt I was a part of Church history in the making.
Nine new temples announced
On April 1, 1981, President Spencer W. Kimball announced that nine new temples would be built in various parts of the world: Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; Guatemala City, Guatemala; Lima Peru; Frankfurt, Germany; Stockholm, Sweden; Seoul South Korea; Manila, Philippines; and Johannesburg, South Africa. Up to then, it was the largest number of temples ever proposed at one time and the most international in setting, bringing the total number of temples scheduled or in operation to 37.
The initial announcement was made to 250 priesthood leaders, including Regional Representatives, stake presidents, General Authority executive administrators and others, gathered in a meeting on Wednesday before the weekend of the 151st Annual General Conference of the Church, April 4 and 5.
I interviewed several leaders and members from some of the newly announced temple districts. I remember in particular Lee Bum Tae, who was a stake patriarch in South Korea. Tears streamed down his face as he told me of his feelings upon hearing that a temple would be built in his home country. He said he always had been impressed to promise members the blessings of the temple. "I knew that a temple in Korea couldn't be too far away because the Spirit has prompted me to name this specific blessing," he said.
"I arrived in Salt Lake City two days after the announcement about the temples. I went to Temple Square at night. I looked up at Angel Moroni's trumpet and realized that the sounds of it will now reach my country, from the Paekdoo Mountains in the north to Cheju Island in the south. And because of this my country, which we love, will be blessed."
Worldwide coverage of conference
I grew up in the Hazlehurst Branch of the Church in the Savannah Georgia District. In the early 1960s, WSAV-TV in Savannah aired only one televised session of conference. Television reception at my house, 100 miles from Savannah, was very poor. I remember sitting in front of the set, trying to see the black and white image of President David O. McKay and listening closely in an effort to hear what he was saying. I saw a lot of "snow" but little of the conference scene. I heard more static than speech.
With that background, I empathized with a member who called the Church News office from New Zealand during every conference weekend until 1978, when the Church expanded its satellite broadcasts of conference proceedings to many parts of the world, including New Zealand.
The member in New Zealand called us to find out who spoke, the topics of the talks, and announcements that might have been made. He said he shared the information with other members in New Zealand. They passed information along until many others in the island nation had the latest news of conference proceedings. Today, conference is carried across the globe through satellite broadcasts and live-stream Internet transmissions and is translated into more than 90 languages.

Essel Group, India's leading business conglomerate, has entered into technology transfer agreements with three leading German firms at the world's largest trade fair, Hannover Messe 2015, in Germany.
While a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for transfer of critical technology in wind and solar energy was signed with FeCon GmbH, a subsidiary company of Wind and Sun Technology GmbH, a similar pact was also inked with Passavant Energy and Environment (PE&E) GmbH for mega scale waste-water treatment projects in India. A letter of intent (LoI) has also being signed with Schneider to develop smart city projects in India.
Dr Subhash Chandra, chairman, Essel Group, also moderated a panel discussion on smart cities during the event while Amitabh Kant, secretary Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), unveiled the Essel smart city framework.
According to the Essel management, FeCon GmbH will assist Essel in developing and manufacturing wind turbines in India along with power station and grid equipment for solar and wind energy to suit Indian conditions.
As for the MoU with PE&E known worldwide for its sludge digestion technology, it will provide Essel with access to groundbreaking technologies and processes in municipal waste water, sludge, water, and industrial waste water treatment.
Commenting on the recent development, Ashok Agarwal, CEO, Essel Infraprojects, said, "We are glad to announce our alliance with Schneider, FeConGmBH and Passavant Energy and Environment GmbH. We believe this will put us on the fast track in delivering on our commitment to produce 12,500 mw of solar energy and 4,000 mw of wind energy in India in the coming year as also in establishing Essel as a major player in the 7.5 billion euros market for waste water management in India.
"Our MoU with German partners will also provide a fillip to the 'Make in India' movement envisaged by our prime minister and will put Essel at the forefront in realising his vision for smart cities in India," he said.
The group also plans to export the surplus renewable energy as the tie-up shapes up going ahead.
The Essel group is in Hannover to showcase its Indian smart city module for building integrated, inclusive, innovative and sustainable smart cities and is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's delegation to Germany. The company has already received an overwhelming response to its stall at the Hannover Messe 2015 trade fair.
The Essel group has taken big strides in realising the Modi's dream of setting up 100 smart cities. It plans to invest over $2 billion over the next three years in transforming major cities across India. It is the only integrated smart city developer in India with proven expertise in creating single window utility corridor.

How Does Nano Paint Protection Help Vehicles?
09/25/2014 19:02
paint protection Brisbane | paint protection Perth | paint protection Melbourne | paint protection Sydney | new car paint protection | car paint protection Brisbane | car paint protection Melbourne | car paint protection Perth | car paint protection Sydney
Nano paint protection for cars is the very best possible sort of finish for your vehicle s surface given that not simply does it keep the luster of your paintwork gleaming as though it has actually merely left the showroom, but it is likewise self-cleaning.
The procedure behind it is remarkable and is based on something from attributes. It is called the lotus effect given that it was found that the lotus floral has self-cleaning residential properties on its fallen leaves. This also puts on some other plants such as cane, nasturtium and irritable pear. Furthermore, some insects such as particular butterflies and dragonflies have the very same ability.
When Was The Lotus Effect Uncovered?
Scientists first started to examine this sensation in 1964, and the job was more developed by Barthlott and Ehler in 1977; it was they who first created the term the lotus result. The leaves of the lotus blossom have an exceptionally higher water repellent home which is called super-hydrophobicity. When it rains, water droplets roll across the fallen leaves and get filth, removing it from the surface area, thus allowing the plant to stay tidy and the leaves to do their feature of photosynthesis to allow the plant to expand.
The high surface stress of a water droplet suggests that it has a tendency to lessen its surface in a venture to accomplish a form which is as near to a sphere as possible. On making contact with a surface area, forces of adhesion source the surface area to become wet. The surface area might become partly moist or completely wet and this will rely on the liquid strain of the water droplet and the sticky attributes of the surface.
The less of the water droplet that is in contact with the area, the greater that area s hydrophobicity is said to be. This hydrophobicity can be gauged by the contact angle of the water droplet on the surface. The reduced the call angle, the lesser the hydrophobicity and vice versa. If a contact angle on a specific surface area is less compared to 90 levels the surface is described as hydrophilic. More than 90 degrees it is hydrophobic.
Some plants have a contact angle of as high as 160 levels meanings that that only around 2 % of the water droplet is in contact with the area. In the case of lotus leaves, the call angle is as high as 170 levels. These areas are stated to be super-hydrophobic. The surface area of a water droplet in contact with a lotus fallen leave may be as litlle as 0.6 %.
Just how Does Gunk Acquire Cleaned Off The Surface area?
When dust gets on to such a surface area the amount of bond between the dirt fragment and the surface is far much less than on other surface areas. When a water droplet rolls across the surface the quantity of attachment between the surface area and the gunk fragment is much less compared to that between the dirt fragment and the droplet, so the dust fragment is gotten by the droplet and lugged away resulting in automatic cleaning of the surface area. Nonetheless, this only works due to the higher level of surface area stress of a water droplet and does not operate in similarly with organic solvents.
Fundamentally, that is exactly how it works for the lotus fallen leave. Exactly the same principle is utilized in nano paint innovation for car paint protection Melbourne.
Exactly how Does Nano Paint Protection Work For Autos?
Nano technology has progressed to the factor wherein a difficult safety ceramic layer can be applied to the lacquered finished area of the automobile s paintwork when it leaves the manufacturing facility. The lacquered area is not immune to bird droppings, UV, or chemical etching and can be quickly ruined or scratched. When this takes place the only option is to polish off the scratch marks or swirl marks consequently reducing the density of the manufacturing plant paint layer. Gradually this means that inevitably a respray will certainly be needed.
Lots of people will use a wax gloss or a polymer paint sealer on the paintwork, yet this still leaves the paint area vulnerable to damages from the ground up, bird droppings and so on, as these could permeate the gloss or sealant.
Just what Is the Response?
The response is to use a challenging nano paint innovation finish to the surface area of the paintwork. The finish is far less susceptible to harm than other surface coverings, but even if swirl marks or other damage ought to take place the covering itself could be brightened off and re-applied. This implies that the manufacturing facility paintwork will not be damaged and will certainly preserve its density and sparkle.
Essentially nano innovation copies the effects located in nature in a basic way and super-hydrophobic coverings have been used on man made surface areas for a substantial number of years. One such application is self-cleaning glass utilized for windows, however they have actually been made use of in different other applications. As an example, super-hydrophobic layers incorporating Teflon particles have actually been used on clinical analysis slides.
The exact same modern technology has been utilized for points as unique as roof covering tiles and leather upholstery. It could be made use of on satellite tv meals, for instance, in order to lower the possibility of rainfall discolor and to deal with any kind of develop of ice and snow on the antenna.
It has actually even been utilized for plant growing. The Groasis Waterboxx is a gizmo developed for growing small plants in locations of severe drought which enables the youthful sapling to have enough water reach its origins up until the origins drop far enough into the ground to get to water. The Waterboxx could then be taken out and used once again somewhere else. Nano modern technology enables the Waterboxx to collect condensation and condensation and funnel it down to the roots of the sapling even in areas of desert.
In order to safeguard the paintwork of your auto and preserve that fresh out of the showroom appearance with none of the effort, nano paint protection is the solution for the discriminating vehicle driver. You will never have to bother with scratch marks or bird droppings, and your automobile will simply need a quick rinse to take out any kind of gunk. It doesn t concern whether your auto is all new, or a number of years old; we can keep it the method it is, or restore it to the method it was.
You will certainly also manage to laugh at your next-door neighbors cleaning and polishing every Sunday morning!

Dark Lands is one of the many products being generated from the Microsoft/Nokia sponsored AppCampus. It is an infinite-runner styled game with RPG combat elements. We've been tinkering with the Beta version for some time now and are happy to report that the game has finally been unleashed to the Store.

Game controls are all gesture based to control your jumps, defensive moves, slides and attacks. You're in a constant state of running so your forward movement is taken care of. However, the developer has added a gesture to stop your character to avoid a few new dangers they've added.
You run until your health hits zero and well, your character dies. As you progress through the game you'll earn experience and credits that can be used to upgrade your character's armor and weapons, as well as upgrade his abilities.
Dark Lands is an impressive game and an entertaining, addictive one for your Windows Phone. It's well suited to help you pass short bits of time or to keep you occupied for longer gaming sessions.

The Ephemerata Weather Radar Project pages continue to undergo development.
Intro page:
The intro page graphic now stands alone. To continue on into the website, simply click on the image and you will go there directly.
I've now added auto-refresh to the web pages both for the main page and the large image pages for both Scan A and Scan B. These pages will now refresh on a 90 second repeat cycle, and if data is new, will update the screen. Its now possible to put the radar page up on your monitor and watch it auto-update as new data is sent to the hosting server. Monitoring bad weather no longer requires you to manually refresh the display.
Internet Explorer handles this feature slightly differently than Firefox (what else!). When IE refreshes it will return to the top of the page. Firefox will remain on the portion of the page it was displaying when the refresh occurred. I am exploring work-arounds to see if I can get IE to do the same. For most of the pages, the two browsers behave similarly.
The Ephemerata Weather Radar Project is designed around a screen resolution setting of 1024×768. The large image presentations are sized to fit this format size with the browser Full Screen Mode set (F11 toggle on the keyboard). In this mode, coupled with the auto-uploading capabilities of the Storm Predator processor, EWR Project will present a continuously updating web view of the changing radar data as it arrives at the host server. The main pages will do the same in Firefox (IE will require re-aligning of the page). Its important to remember that there is an inherent lag of about 10 minutes to the radar data when monitoring for severe weather. If you live in the GTA, feel free to ask to be put on the mailer for severe weather alerts. These are sent immediately upon the processor receiving the appropriate threshold data (see the EWR page notes for more info).

Balancing Our Love Of Beef With The Environmental Toll Of Consumption
As the summer draws to a close and the smell of BBQ still hangs in the air, the idea of a beefless world is for many of us just too terrible to contemplate. But as we'll see, beef's savoury taste also presents us with some rather unsavoury problems. Beef is a huge contributor to global emissions.

Big but Balanced
Absence of elegance was brought home to me most forcibly recently in Argentina when tasting, to the best of my recollection, the first table wine that I have come across labelled at 16% alcohol. Moreover it was buffeted and buttressed by lashings of new oak which, curiously, was not especially obvious (the wine was balanced, you see). The palate was simply assailed by bigness from every quarter.
The wine was Lindaflor, La Violeta Malbec 2007 from the Monteviejo estate and any notion that this is just the wine to pair with a sizzling steak or hearty casserole is misguided. With that sort of food you want something with enough structure to match the strong flavours but which will also refresh the palate between mouthfuls, not swamp it with further riches. It was such a massive wine that I wondered: if by some kind of sorcery the flavour could be cut in half would that yield any elegance? Perhaps adding water would help.
