Conversion reactions can involve many neurologic functions ranging from movement and somatic sensation to the special senses and cognitive intellectual abilities. The diagnosis is made at the bedside and is usually straightforward. However, up to 15% of diagnosed conversion reactions subsequently prove to be due to missed neurologic conditions.1
The sooner new methods define the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie conversion reactions as well as subtle presentations of organic disease capable of mimicking them, the better for both patient and neurologist. The report in this issue of Neurology by Ghaffar et al. on noninvasive observations made by functional MRI (fMRI) in three patients with unilateral psychogenic sensory disturbance is a useful step in that direction.2 We also believe that further effort in this area can advance general understanding of how the nervous system works.
The essential feature of a conversion reaction is that the complaints and findings do not follow known neurologic damage patterns.1 There is no recognized location within the motor, sensory, special sensory, or cognitive intellectual pathways where organic injury or malfunction will produce the reported symptoms or observed signs. The information that fMRI can obtain about what the nervous system is doing while …

The improvement of the body stiffness for the family cars.
The driving with the body bending leads to improvement of the comfort because the body absorbs vibration or the shock from the ground. The car model for families like a minivan or a station wagon tends to be strong in this characteristic in particular. However, a body bending and being warped leads dizzying image when the cornering on the highway because the driver's steering operation becomes hard to be transmitted. Then a tower bar, the item improve the body stiffness easily, is useful.
By both fixing a tower bar on the part which is easy to bend and sensitive the power from the ground and connecting tightly right and left of the body, steering performance improves markedly.
Color: Black and Silver
The plate part adopts a steel plate of the black painting. It achieves stiffness and dress-up at the same time.
Aluminium Oval Shaft
Aluminium oval shaft 40φ has realized the high stiffness and light weight.
Bolt-on design
The bolt-on design matched with the genuine structure. (Except for some car models.) You can easily attach it just by putting it between a nut which fix the suspension and the body.

|Naked Sooty pictures
embarrass TV star
A picture of Sooty, apparently naked, dancing on a table
The entertainment duo known to millions
Legions of Sooty fans were yesterday shocked and dismayed to learn that naked photographs of the iconic star of TV and Radio had been published in a Sunday newspaper.
The pictures, which show a disrobed Sooty apparently dancing on a tabletop in a West End bar, have been authenticated by experts but the star's position was one of denial. 'Mr Sooty beleives these shots to be fakes,' said Clax Mifford, the popular TV star's PR agent this morning, 'and our lawyers are looking into it right now.'
Cynics point out that the compromsing shots of the actor and performer were published only a week after it was revealed that Sooty had split from co-star Sweep over an argument regarding profit-sharing from their numerous TV apperances, but a spokesman for the reclusive Sweep denied that the puppet dog with the trademark squeaky voice had leaked the snaps to the newspapers.
This latest episode is only one in a long trail of mishaps for the popular entertainer and his group of co-stars, that seemed to have begun with the death of their much-loved first manager/co-presenter, Mr Corbett. Only last October Soo was temporarily dropped from the show when it was revealed that she and her partner Diane had posed naked for a series of origami self-help books.

Economy (Pak-China Economic Corridor to bring revolutionary progress- Zhong Shi)March 28, 2014
Islamabad: A delegation of Guangzhou Global Chamber of Commerce of China visited Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry led by its Vice Chairman Mr. Zhong Shi and said that Pak-China Economic Corridor will usher in a new era of economic development between the two countries as it will bring revolutionary progress, especially in Balochistan and Kashgar.
He said the businessmen of both countries should take maximum benefit of the Free Trade Agreement signed between Pakistan and China to improve bilateral trade. He said the bilateral trade has reached US$ 12 billion and there is great potential to improve it.
He said many Chinese companies are already working in Pakistan while many more are looking at it as a promising country for investment and joint ventures. He said ICCI and Guangzhou Global Chamber should strengthen bilateral collaboration to bring the private sectors of both countries even closer.
In his welcome address, Khalid Chaudhry, Acting President, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry said China is the largest trading partner of Pakistan and many Chinese companies by working in Pakistan are rendering great contribution to the economic development of our country.
He said the grant of GSP Plus to Pakistan by the EU has created many new opportunities for investment and Chinese investors should take full benefit of such opportunities by investing in Pakistan's textile sector.
Energy sector of Pakistan also offers tremendous prospects to foreign investors and Chinese companies should also enhance investment in this sector to earn lucrative returns.
He said the Pak-China Economic Corridor project is one of the greatest initiatives that both countries have agreed to execute and its implementation will bring plenty of economic benefits for both countries.
He said Chambers of Commerce of both countries should ensure frequent exchange of trade delegations to fully tap all untapped areas of mutual cooperation and added that ICCI delegation will participate in the forthcoming Canton Fair in China.

E-commerce has become more common for distributors and many are offering a customer web portal, an online ordering platform. Distributors are not trying to replace their current sales model, but instead are offering an option for their customers to gather information, place orders, and discover new products on their own time.
Retailers are becoming more reliant on technology to make business decisions and ensure they are providing the latest available products to meet market demands. Many retailers find frequent sales visits a burden to getting their work completed and want create a more efficient process.
Retailers want to place orders at the end of their day after they have completed their sales to get a better view of their inventory. This not only saves the retailer the effort of having to order more product after a salesperson has been in store, but it also cuts down on the amount of times a salesperson has to visit the store or call in to add on to an order. Salespeople can then better spend their time consulting with the retailers on new products and additional products that will sell well.
Not only do retailers want access to product information, they also want the ability to access their historical sales, account balance information, and distributor representative contact information at all times.
Distributors offering an e-commerce platform not only allow for easier ordering, but they also provide multiple options for communication. When customers are given options to purchase and review information they are going to feel more supported and be more apt to call their distributor. This could be the difference in giving a distributor a few extra SKU's at a retailer, which will provide an advantage over a competitor.
Since customers are looking for other ways to order, it is time to offer an easy to use solution. Online ordering can be extremely beneficial and will keep customers' expectations met.

Tag: Half Moon Beach
Beautiful Beach Days
Half Moon Beach
Fun times at Half Moon Beach
Boston Globe comes to #GloucesterMA for a perfect weekend
"How to spend a perfect weekend in Gloucester and the other cape", by Christopher Muther, Boston Globe.
Article describes some Gloucester highlights: Cape Ann Museum and Harrison Cady exhibition, Gloucester Beaches, Stage Fort Park, Half Moon Beach, Gloucester Shuttle, Cape Ann Cinema, Gloucester Stage, Schooner Thomas E. Lannon, Hammond Castle Museum, Perfect Storm, Wicked Tuna, Rocky Neck, Latitude 43, Lobsta Land, Zeke's Place, Willow Rest, Beauport Hotel, Ocean Hotel at Bass Rocks, Beth Williams, and (couldn't get a reservation at) Duckworth's Bistro.
Late summer at Stage Fort Park
Half Moon Beach
Another jewel of a beach here in Gloucester. A great way to end your day.
Are you up for the 13-2 Gloucester beaches challenge? 13 beaches. 2 jumps. 1 city. Go!
A mid-week vacation day is the easiest. Oh, and you'll need your resident beach sticker. We prepped our car with a picnic blanket for the seat, extra towels, and ice waters. Start early and grab a big "lobsterjack" breakfast because you'll need the fuel. End late.
Let's establish some base rules here.
First off, you need to spend at least 15 minutes at each beach. (You can tweak this a little if you want.) Next, you need to dive under. We suggest a ritual for each beach, e.g. 'The Five and Dive'. Finally, you have to stop for ice cream and candy. Remember, you can do these beaches (or others in Gloucester) and jumps in any order. Be flexible for unexpected delays like staying at one beach for hours, or a friend asking you to drop off a sub (*cough* Joey *cough*). Most importantly, you have to do at least 13 beaches and 2 jumps in one day. Mind the tides. Be grateful we have so many choices.
The Beaches- partial list
alphabetical order
Annisquam lighthouse. Coffin's beach. Good Harbor beach. Long beach. Magnolia beach. Niles beach. Pavilion beach (by Beach Court). Pavilion beach bonus (by the cut). Plum Cove beach. Rocky Neck Oakes Cove beach. Stage Fort Park (1) – Cressy's beach ( our alt. title 'sea serpent' big beach). Stage Fort Park (2) – Half Moon beach. Wheeler's Point. Wingaersheek beach.
The Jumps- partial list
Annisquam bridge. Magnolia Pier.
*We do this challenge at least once each summer. Yesterday we started off with breakfast at Willow's Rest and continued from there. Our timing was random especially as we spent hours at Wingaersheek. The second meal to get us through the day came from the sandwich counter at Annie's by Wingaersheek. Yes, they have a sandwich counter.

How much electricity bill savings can I achieve?
There are three ways in which solar helps you achieve massive savings in your electricity bills –
1. Solar plant is designed to meet 80% of your energy needs and hence, using free energy from sun, it brings down the bill as much too.
2. Your bill will also reflect the savings from switching to a cheaper slab as your consumption from grid electricity goes down. For some states, the tariff is almost half of that in upper slabs.
3. Solar on your rooftop can significantly reduce the heat load on your house by acting as a shield from direct sunlight. That directly implies lesser energy spent on cooling during summers.
What maintenance is required for the solar plant?
This is the best part about solar on your rooftop. With no moving parts, there's absolutely no oiling or maintenance required. Please ensure that the solar mod
Will I be able to use my rooftop after installing solar?
Solar installations take the space required to mount the modules on your rooftop. Using high quality solar modules and advanced software used for shadow analysis, we are able to find out the best spots on your rooftop where solar can be installed with minimum required area. For most purposes, each kW of solar installation requires around 10ft X 10ft space on your rooftop.
How much will it cost?
Our single focus on removing all barriers for adoption of solar also motivates us to offer the best pricing possible for installing solar at your rooftop. You can choose between attractive purchase options and be aware of the savings you will derive from each finance option. Contact us today to get a quote for your solar.
Do I need to cut off from my electricity connection?
Absolutely not!
We are using smart inverters which allows homes to get electricity both from solar as well as the existing grid connection. When the Sun is up, homes get energy from solar and when during other times, the grid electricity is used to power the homes. At times, when the power is not being used at home, solar is fed back to grid and compensates for the energy used during night.
Why should I go solar?
Solar energy is renewable energy; it will help us to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. It will help to maintain the bills as after fixing the solar panels, you can easily consume the solar energy in the form of electricity, so you can easily control your billing and can further store it in the battery for night purposes. It is eco-friendly which helps us to reduce the harmful gases in the atmosphere. Not only it helps on household purpose but also in other ways such as remote sensing, solar heating, telecommunication equipment, solar powered transportation, solar wearable's etc.
What are the financial benefits of solar energy?
From the word financial benefits we understand that here we have to find desirable result from solar energy. Basically, investing in solar energy is a long-term profit program, as an average lifespan of solar panel is 25years so it's one time investment process. Moreover, there will be tax deduction on the basis of size of the system and the location you are going to install within, which helps in saving the money. Using solar panels on household basis will help us to maintain the electricity bill on which every year we have to spend a lot with other bills. It specially helps those builders who install solar panel as the main source of electricity in their buildings; because it will gradually increase the rate of the flats and people will be much more attracted with the idea of eco-friendly society.
What are the environmental benefits of solar energy?
As solar energy is renewable energy there is no limit for its consumption and hence it will help us to reduce the usage of fossil fuels which is a non-renewable resource. Less usage of fossil fuels will eventually help us to decrease it consumption span on high extent. And due to less consumption of fossil fuel air pollution will gradually decreases which help us to maintain a clean environment for living. The amount of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide will also decrease and hence pollution free air will have a good impact on people suffering from air-borne disease. There will be a huge impact of clean environment on climate change. Due to green-house gases there is large effect on the climate like increasing temperature of earth, increasing the sea- level due to melting of glaciers etc. And hence we have to less suffer from the huge change in climate. As water is the main component in thermal power station there is a large usage of water to produce electricity, and hence using solar energy in large extent can reduce the usage of water which is already very less in quantity for the usage.
How do I find how much I pay for electricity?
Step 1 – Go to your electric revenue office
Step 2 – Take your electricity bill
Step 3 – Find your consumer number, a consumer number consist of 10-digit number.
From your consumer number you can easily find the amount you have to pay from any bill checking site and even from E-Seva center.
How does solar impact my property values?
The impact of solar depends on various factors but there are three major factors on which it depends.
• First is the location of your home, if your home is located in a well-developed area where the solar panels are easily available in the market then the percentage over the initial investment cost increases compare to the home located near in less developed area.
• Secondly it depends on size of the installation; there is a direct relationship between the property value and numbers of solar panels installed.
• Thirdly, the size of your house matters, if the size of your house is large than it raise your property value compared to the house of smaller size. And if ever you decide to sell your house you will benefit with high premium which will cover the cost of installation of solar panels. But always remember to choose good quality of panels for the better investment.
How do solar panels work for my home?
Solar panels are installed on the roof top where the sun ray directly hit the solar panels and helps to collect most from the sun rays. Now from these sunrays the panels convert them in the form of DC current which further passes through an inverter, where the invertor coverts the current from DC to AC. Now this AC current is used in our home. When you don't use this current gets stored in a battery which helps you to use it for the night purpose or for other work. And there is meter connected to this system which helps you to record the energy sent by the grid compared to the energy received from the grid.
How do I choose a solar installer?
While choosing a solar installer you should keep in your mind that the installer should be reliable. So you should better check the company installing the panels should have a licence and insurance for your own Safety purpose. It will be better if you check the reviews of the people on the work of that particular company. The company should have good experience in the field of solar installation, and do make sure that the installer is well trained and qualified because this is an one time investment if the installation failed or not done properly than you have to face great consequence due to it. Quality of the solar panel should not be neglected, always check that the panels used for the installation are of high quality.
Do my solar panels produce power when the sun isn't shining?
Solar panels will not produce any power when it's not a sunny day because the production of power is directly proportional to the sun rays falling on the solar panel. So when there isn't sunny day the solar panels will not be able to produce any power but hopefully you can use the power stored in the battery which had store the excess power of the solar panel.
What happens if there is a snow on the solar panels?
As solar panels are used to capture the sun light if there will be snow on solar panels than the panels will fail in capturing the light and no power will produce. But if the angle of solar panel installation would be slightly slant in angle than the snow falling on the solar panels can slide down but this process also takes some time.
Can I go-off grid with solar panels?
Yes, an off-grid solar panel is much better than an on-grid solar panel, because an on grid panel is completely dependent on utility power grid so when there will be outage of power grid no power would be supplied. But in the case of off-grid power is stored in battery so even when there will be outage of power grid the battery will efficiently supply power for the usage. But at the same time it has many drawbacks. It cannot be assured that off-grid solar panels can provide power for all your loads. And also the installation of off-grid solar panel is costly and complex than on-grid solar panels.
How much will solar panel maintenance cost?
The cost of maintenance depends on two factors.
• Firstly, which type of solar panels you are using. If you are using on-grid solar then cost of maintenance is very low it will be around 55,000- 80,000 per kWp, depends on the quality of solar panels. But if you are using off-grid solar panel then the cost of maintenance is very high because the battery connected at the time of installation must be changed in 5-7 years for better performance of solar panels, so it will cost around 1 lakh or more than it, it depends on which type of battery you have selected.
• Secondly, the cost of maintenance has a direct relation with the number of solar panels you are using, if the solar panels more than, the maintenance cost also increase. Similarly, if the solar panels are less than, the maintenance cost decreases.
Is solar energy reliable and powerful enough for my home or business?
To know whether the solar energy is reliable for home or not you have to calculate the amount of power you use every day. First check the number of electrical appliance you are going to use and for how much time you are going to use? Then calculate the daily electrical consumption of you house or office.
Step 1: Find amount of energy consumed by each AC load.
Step 2: The amount of time the device being used, and for how many days in a week it is used?
Step 3: Multiply current mention on the device (in amps) with voltage and that will be the power consumed by the device.
Step 4: To find energy multiply the power you got with the number of hours you use it in a day.
Daily energy target = total average ac load x invertor efficiency + total average dc load
You can use all the appliances with solar power but as the heating devices consume a lot of power so people don't use these devices with by photovoltaic system as this can be much more expensive, so it is recommended that either you don't use these high power consuming devices or limit your power consumption by calculating your daily power consumption by above method. For installing a solar electric system it is required to know your daily consumption according to that you must choose a photovoltaic system for your home or business company. If you have connected utility grid before the solar electric system than it would be more beneficial to you.
Are the solar systems effective in winter months?
Yes solar systems are effective in winter month until and unless it get the sunlight because the entire solar system depends on the sunlight hence it doesn't matter if it is summer or winter if it gets enough sunlight it will work completely well. But as in winters the amount of sunlight is less hence less power is generated during winter months.
What roof space is required to fit a solar power system?
The roof space required to fit solar system mainly depend on three main factors:
• Weight of solar panels: Average weight of solar panel is 30-60kg/m^2, so you have to ensure that your roof should be enough strong to take the weight of solar panels.
• Panel efficiency: There is direct relation between shade free area and panel efficiency, if the panel efficiency will be more than there will be less shade free area will be required.
• Wind pressure: It will be good if you discuss with your installer about the angle of mounting the panel so that the panel get exerted with less pressure of wind, especially in cyclone prone areas.
Are solar panels difficult to maintain?
Solar panels are not at all difficult to maintain. It is necessary to check whether the panels are clean or not for better working of panels, and in rainy season this job becomes easier as it will get clean by the rain. But for panel safety does make sure to check time to time that the panel is in better condition or not.
Does the electrician installing the product need to be qualified?
As the solar panels are for long term usage it is necessary that the installer of the panel should be well qualified and had a good experience in installing solar panels. If you are investing money it is necessary to make sure that your money is not getting waste by just one mistake.

$60 million expansion plan for European cultures plants follows recent U.S. expansion.
DuPont Nutrition & Health has today announced a further increase in its manufacturing capacity – this time in Europe. The company will invest $60 million expanding three cultures production sites in the region as a response to increasing demand for frozen and freeze-dried starter cultures from the global yogurt, fresh fermented and cheese markets.
DuPont Nutrition & Health announced major expansion plans for its probiotics production facilities located in the United States in November 2016.
"These initiatives for European cultures plants will further increase our ability to serve the growing global dairy market," said Matthias Heinzel, president, DuPont Nutrition & Health.
"This additional capacity in cultures ensures that we maintain our recognized reputation for excellent stability and performance by leading customers around the world. Our investment will enable us to support their growth and geographic expansion," added Heinzel.
The European investments will be at the DuPont Nutrition &Health plants in Sassenage and Epernon, France, and Niebüll, Germany. The first phase of the plan will be commissioned in 2017 with an investment in the Sassenage plant. Part of this project will be the increase of fermentation capacity, biomass separation as well as freeze-drying capacity. This will result in an increased production capacity for freeze-dried cultures by the end of 2018.
Frozen cultures production capacity will be increased by investment in the Niebüll and Epernon plants. At Niebüll, some investment has been made already in a new pelletizer and further investment will be made to expand ultra-cold storage (-55°C) to increase supply of frozen cultures. In Epernon, the plan is to leverage the existing fermentation capacity by investing in a new fermenter.
"The global dairy industry is expected to grow in the next five years driven by the higher consumption of fresh dairy products especially in Asia, as well as by the increased demand for cheese and cheese products for the food service industry. The investments in both freeze-dried and frozen pellets cultures format will reinforce DuPont Nutrition & Health's leading position to serve and anticipate the needs of the global yogurt, fresh fermented and cheese industry," said John Rea, DuPont Nutrition & Health probiotics, cultures and food protection leader.

Monday, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because I know it's tough to follow this A*MAY*ZING weekend of mine. And work, it's downright impossible to measure up to two adorable kids, Max (22 mos) and Tommy (6 yrs), beautiful friends, and the fabulous Make-A-Wish Foundation. But still, you could have at least put up some sort of fight today. Instead you had me feeling nothing but emptiness. To tell you the truth, after feeling so alive this weekend, the empty feeling hit me even harder. Maybe that's not fair to you, but it's the truth.O
Everybody Needs Inspiration. And in fact sometimes the ones that require inspiration are those that are known for inspiring others. I Need Inspiration. Fortunately I've been able to obtain it in the charitable and social aspects of my life; however, as others know (and I've shared before on here), it's been lacking in another part of my life. Today it was drastically apparent and therefore, I found myself fighting to feel anything (but emptiness).
Tonight I came home to find the envelope I'm been waiting on for the past month (if not longer) and I've spent these last few hours trying to decide what am I going to do. The one thing I know is where my Inspiration comes from and this opportunity allows me to follow that my passions. However, the reality of this situation is that it may not be the right choice- which is what my instinct is whispering. So here I am, trying to figure out how I'm deemed to spend the next 2 years of my life and truthfully I don't have a clue. I just want to do what I know I'm meant to do. Do what I love to do… what makes me feel alive.
The unfortunate part is that I know I'll struggle with that empty feeling again tomorrow. And the next day, and the day after that. But what keeps me going are the opportunities that light me up instead. These moments that Let Me Be "Me".

10 Inspirational 2019 Chevy 1/2 ton – Chevrolet, colloquially referred to as Chevy and Officially the Chevrolet Division of General Motors Company, is a American Auto Branch of Their American Producer General Motors (GM). Louis Chevrolet and General Motors creator William C. Durant began the company about November 3, 1911 as the Chevrolet Motor Car Company. Durant utilised the Chevrolet Motor Car Company for a controlling stake in General Motors having an reverse merger happening May 2, 1918 and steered himself back to the GM presidency. Soon after Durant's next ousting at 1919, Alfred Sloan, with his maxim"a car for every purse and purpose", could pick the Chevrolet new to turn into the volume leader in the General Motors family members, selling mainstream autos to compete with Henry Ford's Model T 1919 and overtaking Ford while the bestselling vehicle in the united states of america by 1929.
Chevrolet-branded automobiles are sold in most automotive markets around the world, " In Oceania, Chevrolet is represented by its Australian subsidiary, Holden, with came back to the place in 2018 following having a 50-year shortage together with all the launch of their Camaro and also Silverado pickup truck. Back in 2005, Chevrolet has been relaunched in Europe, chiefly attempting to sell vehicles built by GM Daewoo of South Korea together with the tagline"Daewoo was risen up enough to become Chevrolet", " a move wrapped generally Motors' attempt to construct a international new round Chevrolet. With the re introduction of Chevrolet into Europe, GM intended Chevrolet to be always a mainstream price brand name, whereas GM's conventional European standard-bearers," Opel of Germany, and Vauxhall of all United Kingdom would be moved upmarket. However, GM reversed that movement in overdue 2013, declaring that the newest could be removed from Europe, with the exception of the Camaro and Corvette in 20-16. Chevrolet autos will continue to be promoted from the CIS countries, including Russia. After normal Motors entirely acquired GM Daewoo in 2011 to develop GM Korea, the previous usage of this Daewoo automotive brand had been discontinued at its own native South Korea and succeeded by Chevrolet.

In united states, Chevrolet sells and creates a wide range of vehicles, from subcompact vehicles to medium-duty commercial vans. As a result of prominence and name recognition of Chevrolet as truly one of General Motors' global marques, Chevrolet, Chevy or Chev is used at times as a synonym for standard Motors or its own particular products, one particular of these being the GM LS1 engine, popularly known by the name or some variant of its progenitor, the Chevrolet small-block motor.

This post is based on an article by the same title written by Colby Itkowitz in the 1 November 2016 issue of the Washington Post in the Metro Section. This article is about a winner of a MacArthur Award, which is better known as the "Genius" Award. She used her award to fund the Dangerous Speech Project. Her name is Susan Benesch, a law professor at American University, who also is a Harvard University faculty associate.
As a young lawyer, she did international work in the aftermath of the ethnic conflicts in Yugoslavia and Rwanda in the 1990s. Beseech was drawn to the question of whether one could detect warning signs for genocide before one occurred. She did her first field study for the Dangerous Speech Project in Kenya leading up to its presidential election held in March 2013. While there she helped oversee several projects that sought to diminish the impact of dangerous-speech, including one writing four episodes of a popular Kenyan courtroom comedy in which the actors discredited inflammatory statements. This election produced little violence.
According to Benesch, to rise to he level of dangerous speech, at least two of these five indicators must be true:
A powerful speaker with a high degree of influence over the audience.
The audience has grievances and fears that the speaker can cultivate.
A speech act that is clearly understood as a call to violence.
A social or historical context that is propitious for violence, for any of a variety of reasons, including long-standing competition between groups for resources, lack of efforts to solve grievances or previous episodes of violence.
A means of dissemination that is influential in itself, for example because it is the sole or primary sources of news for the relevant audience.
She concludes that Trump does not meet these criteria. HM disagrees. He thinks the first two have clearly been met, and that Fox News could constitute a third indicator. She rightly concludes that what appear to be calls to violence have been presented in an ambiguous manner.
There will be a data point in several days, which should tell us who reached the correct conclusion. HM sincerely hopes he is wrong.

Atrovent is a preventer inhaler which contains a corticosteroid (steroid) called ipratropium bromide. It is taken daily to hold the airways open and prevent an asthma attack, also known as bronchospasm.
Bronchospasm is the name given to a condition in which the airways leading to the lungs (bronchi) constrict and tighten. It can be triggered by respiratory illnesses such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary syndrome (COPD), but can also be caused when a person is exposed to an allergen such as dust, smoke or pollen.
Illnesses, medicines, weather, exercise and even emotions can also cause a bout of asthmatic symptoms.
Symptoms of bronchospasm include:
Atrovent does not replace your reliever inhaler and should not be used to treat an asthma attack.
You can easily buy Atrovent online following a quick consultation. Our online prescription service makes it quick and convenient to get the asthma you need delivered straight to your door via a discreet delivery service.
Atrovent contains an ipratropium bromide. This medicine is known as an anticholinergic bronchodilator.
It works by blocking muscarinic receptors found in the soft muscles which surround the airways. This helps the muscles to relax, allowing the airways to open.
When taken regularly, it prevents the muscles from tightening around the airways, providing long-lasting relief.
Before using your Atrovent inhaler for the first time, you need to prime it.
To prime your inhaler, hold the inhaler away from you and depress the canister until you see a fine mist. Seeing this means your inhaler is ready to use.
To use your Atrovent inhaler:
If you are taking another puff, wait at least a minute before taking another puff. When you are ready to do so, follow steps 2 through 8.
If you find it difficult to press the inhaler down while breathing in, speak to your doctor or pharmacist. You may need to use a spacer device, which makes administering the required dose of Atrovent easier.
Take care to avoid accidentally spraying Atrovent in your eyes. Accidentally spraying Atrovent in your eyes can cause stinging, red eyes, dilated pupils, blurred vision and visual disturbances. If this happens, speak to your doctor for advice.
All medicines have the potential to cause side effects, though not everyone will experience them. Knowing the side effects to look out for is critical to your health.
Common side effects of Atrovent (affects less than 1 in 10 people) include:
Uncommon side effects of Atrovent (affects less than 1 in 100 people):
Rare side effects of Atrovent (affects less than 1 in 1,000 people):
If you experience any side effects, whether they are listed above or in the patient information leaflet, speak to your doctor as soon as possible.
Before using Atrovent, please inform our prescriber of all the medicines you take, including those with or without prescription and health supplements. Atrovent may interact with other medicines.
Do not take Atrovent if any of the follows applies to you:
If you are not sure whether the above contraindications apply to you, speak to your doctor.
Speak to your doctor before Atrovent if any of the following applies to you:
If you are not sure whether the above applies to you, speak to your doctor.
Always store your medicine out of the sight and reach of children.
If you forget to take your Atrovent inhaler, take it as soon as you remember.
If it is near your next dose, skip the forgotten dose and continue taking your inhaler as you normally would.
Do not take more of the medicine to make up for the missed dose.
If you take too much Atrovent, talk to a doctor or go straight to the hospital. Take all your inhalers and any other medicines you were taking wit
Taking too much Atrovent can cause a dry mouth, a rapid heartbeat or blurred vision.
No, Atrovent is a steroid inhaler which prevents bronchospasm from occurring, while Ventolin relieves bronchospasm symptoms which have already occured.
Atrovent is a long acting inhaler. It is used to prevent asthma symptoms from occurring when taken regularly.
Atrovent takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to start working after taking it.

BPA Report on Rich Architectural History of Upham's Corner
Posted: August 31, 2011 Nancy J Conrad
Preservation meeting
The Boston Preservation Alliance under the leadership of Erica Lindamood held a workshop on June 9, 2011 entitled "Upham's Corner: Places Worth Preserving, Stories Worth Telling" at St. Mary's church on Jone's Hill. She later thanked those who attended, citing a few of the evening's highlights:
Discussion of the historical role of the railroad in the neighborhood, historical landscaping along Columbia Road, and old houses of note in surrounding residential districts
Advocacy for creation of a neighborhood map with easy-to-read explanation of various types of districts and designations, including Neighborhood Design Overlay Districts, National Register listing, and local landmarking
Discussion of special places and neighborhood history

Excerpts from article:
Preservation group targets Uphams Corner sites for review
By Pat Tarantino, Reporter Staff
Jun. 16, 2011
During an open workshop titled "Uphams Corner: Places worth preserving, stories worth telling," held on Thursday (June 9) at St. Mary's Church, a small group of local history enthusiasts met with BPA's lead researchers, combing through a preliminary report that highlights 28 residential and commercial properties that have been brought to the Alliance's attention over the course of a two-year survey.
Once completed, the BPA hopes to use this report to guide their own advocacy for the protection of historic landmarks, as well as inform elected officials, developers and residents of often overlooked historical sites that may otherwise face demolition with untold stories. Sarah Kelly BPA executive director said the process serves a dual role of giving residents pause for thought as they consider what makes their corner of the city unique.
In it's current state, the report is a collection of images and brief entries about notable locations around the Uphams Corner neighborhood, ranging from historical mainstays like the Strand Theatre and the Pilgrim Church, to more obscure attractions like a small mission-style comfort station found in the Old North Burial Ground and the Uphams Corner Market Building, which housed Boston's first one-stop supermarket in the 1920's.
Lindamood said the project's reliance on local input will help preserve the buildings most important to the people who experience them on a daily basis: "What we're trying to do is capture what we hear from members of the community, rather than saying 'this building is important, this building isn't.'"
Some concerns were raised.
The report lacked "an editorial voice, something that could tell a story of how Uphams Corner has evolved."
Why particular homes were singled out for the report while residences of similar styles and ages were omitted
Currently there are 10 city-mandated historic landmark districts, which receive additional protection when new development projects could potentially alter the historical character of the area, none of these regions fall within Dorchester or Mattapan.
Final report
The final report is due out in September 2011. Read letter from Erica Lindamood:
August 29, 2011
Dear Friends of Upham's Corner,
As many of you know, the Boston Preservation Alliance has recently held several workshops and discussion sessions to teach and learn about the rich architectural history of Upham's Corner and surrounding residential neighborhoods, and to gain an understanding of community members' priorities for the care and preservation of these resources.
This work has been done in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Historic Boston Incorporated, and in collaboration with Upham's Corner Main Street and many others in the community.
In early September, we will distribute via email a draft report that summarizes this process and our findings. We have delayed release of this draft report in order to ensure that it is as complete and accurate as possible.
Please contact us (see below) to get on the mailing list.

In 1990, Tate started racing cars. "My racing got me out of manufacturing and into design," she explains. Her racing has also made her a national champion. In 1996, she won the Sport Car Club of America National Championship in Pro Solo racing.These days, Tate can often be found behind the wheel of her British racing green 2001 Mazda Miata, at Hawaii Raceway Park. "I'm a firm believe in getting your ya-ya's out on the racetrack," she says. "There are no kids, no curbs, no cop- so you can't hurt yourself or anyone else. Track racing allows you to take your vehicle to the limits of its abilities and your abilities." And she's completely sold on the abilities of her little Mazda Miata. "I've been driving the Miata ever since the first model came out in 1990," says Tate. "It's just a high-quality best selling sports car that handles like it's on rails and rides like a go-cart with a good road feel." She admits that her dream is a Shelby Cobra 427-but with a $500,000 price tag, "I doubt I'II ever be able to afford one," she laughs.
Tate came to Hawaii in 2004 seeking a career change as a schoolteacher in Kihei. Fate stepped in before she stepped foot in the classroom when a friend introduced her to Lt. Col. Frank Tate, the commander of the 2nd battalion, 25th Aviation Regiment squadron, which flies UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. "It was love at first sail," says Bev Tate, referring to the couple's mutual love of sailing. They'll be celebrating their first wedding anniversary on Nov. 22. Tate supports her husband's battalion as a family-readiness group leader, counseling families of soldier preparing for deployment or reunion. Dealing with her husband's deployments has been difficult, but new challenges keep her busy. Previous. Next page

How to cold email on LinkedIn without sounding like a d***
Transcript – How to cold email on LinkedIn
Have you ever received a terrible, awful, poorly thought out sales email on LinkedIn? Of course, you have. What are the things to avoid when writing emails to pitch for business on LinkedIn? Hey guys, Darren Taylor of thebigmarketer.co.uk here, giving you tips, insight, and opinion on all things marketing. If that's up your street, you should consider subscribing to my channel. Today, we're looking at the terrible messages people probably have received on LinkedIn pitching sales and services towards them and what things we should avoid writing in cold emails on LinkedIn to make ourselves appear more credible and to get better results out of cold emailing on LinkedIn. The first thing you shouldn't do is just talk about yourself.
Now, I've mentioned this time and time again, whether it's about writing copy for websites, whether it's advertising on AdWords in general anyway. No matter what it is your doing, if you talk about yourself, people don't give a damn. All they want to hear about is how you can help their business. When you write a message on LinkedIn, you don't want to pitch the example of, "I want to tell you about my company or my company does X, Y, and Z."
That is ridiculous. What you want to do, is tell the person about their business and how you can help them, specifically, within their problems. Research that company, understand their niche, understand what they're trying to achieve and tell them how you can add value to that strategy. Don't just say you're going to talk about yourself, because people don't care. Another thing to think about when you're pitching for business on LinkedIn is the examples you use of who you've helped. Now, if I'm a small business and I'm turning over £500,000 a year, for example, why the hell should I care that you've helped Coca-Cola, why the hell should I care you've helped businesses who are massive blue chip organizations, global businesses and how you've helped them. Yes, I know it makes it sound like you've built credibility, but a better example would be showing me case studies, the examples of how you've helped businesses like mine get better.
Showing off the big agency, big companies, isn't always the best approach because it's non-relatable. Think about it, are the challenges of a small retail outlet, turning over a million pounds a year the same as Samsung? They are not. Why would you even mention Samsung when pitching for business? Because we don't have the same challenges. Before you hit send on your next cold email on LinkedIn, think about the examples you use when you pitch for business.
Another thing that really, really winds me up about LinkedIn and getting messages are messages that are really, really impersonal. You can tell they copy and paste jobs that are kind of ecstatic on approach to reaching out and prospecting on LinkedIn. That really, really sucks because it shows the person that is receiving the message they've had no thought put into the message they're receiving, there is no thought around the challenges for their business, there is no thought about the individuals they're sending the email to either. All of these things combined, just really turned people off when receiving cold emails on LinkedIn, especially when they spelled your name wrong or they used recycled names they've sent in the past.
I have been called John before when I have received emails. It's just ridiculous, it's unprofessional, it makes your business look terrible. It shows you've got no forethought in your messages. It just ends badly for you, it's a waste of your time sending emails. Guys, be really personal, really understand what the person is trying to achieve on an individual basis, not just the business spaces as well. Finally, the final thing you can do to stop your LinkedIn messages sucking is to add value in your message.
Show the person you're sending the message to that you can really help them by providing something of value for free. This could be a software trial, it could be a PDF, it could be an infographic, it could be any number of things just to show that you know their industry and know their challenges and pain points. It builds that rapport of instantly adding value to the business as well. If the person receives something that's really valuable to them, they're more than likely going to entertain the idea of a conversation or a meeting in the future. You're just going to put yourself in a position where you're pitching a hard service because you're adding value as part of your message.
Think about it, if the first conversation you're having with somebody is instantly adding value, then that's going to have really positive connotations whenever your name comes up, whenever your business name comes up or for future messages as well or future correspondence. That's really going to help you get the meeting or get the coffee or get the catch-up, whatever it is you're trying to achieve on LinkedIn to make the sale. All these things added together are really going to help you send much better messages.
Guys, I don't want to see any more terrible messages on LinkedIn. I want to see really value-added messages. Guess what will happen as a result of that, the number of messages received on LinkedIn will drop off a cliff because only people who have been researched properly, who can really add value or message you in an ideal world but guess what, that's probably not going to happen. It's just a bit of advice or a bit of a rant on my part in terms of the terrible, terrible pitchy messages I'm receiving on LinkedIn. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you liked this video, please leave me a like below. I want to see examples of what the worst messages you've received on LinkedIn. Let me know in the comments below. More important that, don't forget to subscribe. I'll see you guys on my next video.

A leading property agency has made three promotions as the firm experiences a continued period of growth.
Fisher German has promoted Anna Collins to associate director and Hannah Godley to senior planner at its Ashby office and Ben Flint to senior surveyor at its Doncaster office.
Anna, who has been in the industry more than 20 years, is based in Fisher German's central Midlands valuation team and originally joined the firm's Ashby office after graduating from Reading University. She then left the firm before re-joining in 2014, working in Market Harborough and then returning to the office where she began her career.
Anna specialises in the strategic management of rural assets including valuation, development opportunities, diversification and landlord and tenant matters. She said: "This promotion formalises my role, and I am very pleased to receive it after returning to the office where I first started. Rural is one of the strong growth areas of the firm, and I'm now looking forward to working together with the rest of the valuation team to broaden our services across the Midlands."
Hannah joined the firm in 2014 as a graduate and went on to achieve chartered membership of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) in 2016. Her work in the strategic planning team focuses on residential planning applications as well as appraising the development potential of sites, identifying strategies for their promotion and submitting representations to development plan consultations.Hannah said: "Fisher German has been a fantastic place for me to develop my experience in the sector, and there is a very clear progression route. I am looking forward to continuing to help the strategic planning team to grow."
Ben sits within Fisher German's commercial team with a primary focus on agency and professional work, which leads to him being involved in the sale, leasing and acquisition of a wide range of commercial properties across South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and adjacent counties.He achieved chartered status in 2017 and works with both private and corporate clients, identifying new opportunities for maximising their returns on properties. Ben said: "The Doncaster office has seen a huge amount of success since opening in 2017 after relocating from Retford, and am I glad to have played a part in that success. The move has enabled the office to expand and strengthen the services offered to clients, and it is fantastic to have contributed to this. I now look forward to continuing my career progression, and helping develop our commercial team further with a particular focus on agency."
Charles Meynell, senior partner of Fisher German, said: "We have experienced a very successful 2018, and these promotions demonstrate this. I would like to congratulate Anna, Hannah and Ben whose hard work has contributed to the ongoing success and development of the firm."
