Keep calm and watch basketball
Now it gets interesting.
We're at the point in the NCAA men's basketball tournament when three-quarters of the field has been eliminated. We said goodbye to 2 seeds Duke and Louisville. In one stunning upset, Wisconsin beat defending national champions and 1 seed Villanova. No one saw that coming.
In this round, sixteen teams face off in eight games played over two days in San Jose, Kansas City, New York, and Memphis. The most anticipated games are Gonzaga vs West Virginia and Michigan vs Oregon.
West Virginia is coming off two wins against 13 seed Bucknell and 5 seed Notre Dame. Bucknell gave the Mountaineers a tough time in the first round. But when it came to Notre Dame, we saw why everyone calls this team Press Virginia. They forced 14 turnovers and shot 50 percent from the field—57.1% (8-for-14) from three point territory.
Then you have Michigan. The 7 seed have won two very close games, beating Oklahoma 92-91 and 2 seed Louisville 73-69. Michigan's Derrick Walton, Jr. emerged as a tournament star with 26 points against Oklahoma. He hit 6 of 9 three point attempts. Louisville knew they had to stop him to have a chance in the next round, and they threw everything they had at him. Walton was frustrated, but the point guard ran an effective offense. His teammates Moritz Wagner and D.J. Wilson put up their share of points with 26 and 17, respectively.
Which brings us to this round. There are four games tonight and four tomorrow. Oregon and Michigan play at the same time as Gonzaga and West Virginia. Kansas and Purdue take the court just before Arizona and Xavier. Tomorrow, Baylor and South Carolina tip off just after UNC and Butler, and UCLA takes the court against Kentucky just before Wisconsin faces off against Florida.
For die-hard college basketball fans, this presents a problem. Do you watch multiple games at once in Sports Bar Mode, or do you focus your attention on one game at a time?
On one hand, with Sports Bar Mode, you have a complete overview of the round as it unfolds. Watch four channels at once. Every basket, foul, and steal happens under your all-seeing gaze. Furthermore. If you are hosting a party for like-minded college basketball fans, everyone can watch the teams he or she is rooting for.
On the other hand! If you are the sort to focus on one game at a time, but you want to be sure you're watching the most exciting game you can watch, we can tell you which game is the most exciting at any given moment. The DISH Gamefinder app can show you other games' scores and how heated they're getting with the built in excitement meter. You don't have to click around, catch up, and wonder what you're missing.
Whoever you're rooting for, the best way to watch the tournament is on DISH. Check out all the different features you can use to keep track of the NCAA tournament! Now get ready to fill in those brackets.

Homeopathy came into existence by an accidental observation by Samuel Hahnemann of a phenomenon of homeopathy. He observed that while large doses of a substance produced disease in a healthy man, small doses of the same thing cured the illness it produced.
This was partly misinterpreted and the 'principle of similars' was proposed. The rest of the practice (provings, matching etc) was developed based on this partly misinterpreted phenomenon. We will learn later that it is not the 'same curing the same' or 'similar curing the similar' but actually a negative state (superdilute remedy) curing the positive state (solute excess state or disease). So contrary to what homeopaths preach, they are actually using an opposite 'force' to treat the disease and not the same force. In this context, homeopathy should have been called as 'allopathy'!.
Despite this, Hahnemann's observation is without doubt one of the greatest scientific discoveries, though an explanation for the paradoxical phenomenon remained elusive to the scientific minds and defied all the logic.
The 'principle of minimum dose' states that in treating a disease, the remedy needs to be used in its minimum dose for it to exert its effect. The smaller the dose the more effective the remedy becomes in curing the illness.
Homeopathic remedies are prepared by serial dilution and succussion of the original ingredient much beyond the Avogadro's limit of dilution (10-24). That means none of the original substance remains in the final solution from which the remedy is made. So according to modern science the final solution is nothing but just the solvent/water without any solute molecules.
How can any substance exert its effect without actually being present in the remedy? This is the most controversial and criticized principle of Homeopathy. Isopathy and tautopathy which are touted as distinct entities by some hardcore homeopaths, also suffer from the same fundamental flaws.
While modernists refuse to accept homeopathy because of its implausible principles, homeopaths, 'though not so intelligent', strongly believe in it as they have practically seen the benefits of homeopathy in many of their patients. But the homeopaths have neither been able to come out with a scientific explanation nor been able to consistently reproduce their results.

Which should get me pretty close to competition lean. Now I need a challenge for trading. Something I can bury my head in and just forget everything. Either need to learn something new or set an unrealistic goal and crush it. Not sure which one yet. Any suggestions?

In Patagonia....
7:05 PM PST, November 21, 2008
It´s been a stunning first day in these exotic climes. I released a half dozen small rainbows on a 5 wt. using dry fly/indicator rigs. I also let a brown trout around 4 lbs. get the best of me by spitting my barbless fly before I was able to come tight. My guide Alejandro caught a similar-sized fish but lost it while grabbing the fish for photos- he will be sure to bring a net tomorrow.
We stopped fishing when a chilly squall blew through the valley at 6 p.m.

When messaging giant Kik Interactive launched an initial coin offering in 2017 and raised a jaw-dropping $100 million, investors had high hopes of a lucrative return. Those hopes may now have been dashed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC recently announced that it was opening up an investigation into the ICO. The agency contends that the company's founders knowingly engaged in an "unregistered securities sale". The move has highlighted the gap between crypto investor expectations, founder promises, and concrete regulations.
Part of the reason the team is now in trouble is the way the ICO PR team decided to market the token sale. America's security regulator is apparently building its case based on what the founders have said in public forums and what users have published across YouTube, Slack messages, Twitter and even a roadshow that Kik conducted in the early stages of its token sale.
As the case kicks off, here are some vital ICO PR lessons for entrepreneurs entering the space for the first time:
1. Refine your message
A carefully crafted and meticulously planned message can be inspected by lawyers and legal counselors before it gets repeated in front of an audience. Taking the time to perfect the message is a vital part of any marketing and PR strategy, but when the regulatory hurdles as higher (as is the case for ICOs and STOs) the time spent on refining the message becomes more critical.
2. Iron out the regulatory hurdles
Considering the jurisdictions and the legal precedents set in the country where your ICO is based is always a good idea. Different regions have adapted differently to the rise of cryptocurrencies and the proliferation of blockchain technologies. Some countries are more restrictive than others.
Find out if your ICO can be marketed to certain types of investors (US citizens or businesses in Iran, for example) or must be restricted to other types (accredited) before you go out and start marketing your upcoming token offering to everyone. Place disclaimers and blocks on your website if you need to clear certain regulatory hurdles such as GDPR or FATCA. It's always better to be cautious when you're dealing with a controversial financial instrument in a multibillion dollar industry such as crypto.
3. Don't overpromise and under deliver
Deception is the underlying basis for fraud, and there's a fine line that separates hyperbole from deception. For example, saying you hope the ICO will make early investors wealthy may be fine by most regulatory standards, but saying the tokens will offer a 4000% return within 4 weeks and turn every investor into a bonafide millionaire overnight is probably illegal in most parts of the world.
Of course, overpromising has become routine in the hypercompetitive world of ICOs and airdrops. It's not easy to avoid the temptation or control what your co-founders and staff say in public. But investing the time and making the effort to set restrictions on public speech across the organization is worth it in the long-run.
Again, speak to your legal counsel and PR agency to refine your message before launch. A few prudent steps can keep you and your team on the right side of the law.

Fulton ,MD 20759
A woman as gorgeous and funny as Sofia Vergara surely planned to be a model and actress from the get-go, right? Wrong! Sofia's first career choice actually was to be… a dentist! That's right, the sexy star of TV's Modern Family actually was only two semesters shy of finishing a dental degree in her native Columbia when she traded dental school for the small screen. Still, dental health remains a top priority for the actress and her son, Manolo.
"I'm obsessed," she recently told People magazine. "My son thinks I'm crazy because I make him do a cleaning every three months. I try to bribe the dentist to make him to do it sooner!"
That's what we call a healthy obsession (teeth-cleaning, not bribery). And while coming in for a professional cleaning every three months may not be necessary for everyone, some people — especially those who are particularly susceptible to gum disease — may benefit from professional cleanings on a three-month schedule. In fact, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to having professional teeth cleanings — but everyone needs this beneficial procedure on a regular basis.
Even if you are meticulous about your daily oral hygiene routine at home, there are plenty of reasons for regular checkups. They include:
So take a tip from Sofia Vergara, and don't skimp on professional cleanings and checkups. If you want to know how often you should come in for routine dental checkups, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more in the Dear Doctor articles "Dental Hygiene Visit" and "Dental Cleanings Using Ultrasonic Scalers."

How Does Laser Teeth Whitening Work?
White, bright smiles are generally associated with youthfulness and beauty. As we age, our teeth can change colors and lose their brightness due to age, eating habits, smoking, and even medications. There are many ways to brighten teeth that are safe and effective. Is laser teeth whitening right for you? Let's find out.
What is Laser Teeth Whitening?
Laser teeth whitening is a very effective way to brighten and whiten your teeth without removing any of the tooth's surface or causing damage to the teeth. After the dentist has protected your gums, he/she will paint a bleaching product on the surface of your teeth. Then a laser or light is shone on the teeth to activate the chemical in the whitening product. The light is intended to speed up the whitening process, and help you achieve brighter, whiter teeth fast.
How is Laser Teeth Whitening Different From Bleaching?
Advancements in technology have allowed laser teeth whitening to get your teeth whiter faster and easier. Traditional bleaching methods required patients to wear a tray in their mouths, over their teeth over the course of two to three dental visits and numerous treatments at home. Laser whitening can usually be done in one dental appointment and is completed in about 30-90 minutes.
Can I Get the Same Results With At-Home Bleaching Kits?
For individuals with minor exterior stains, the best option may be an at-home bleaching kit. This kit includes a tray that has been molded to fit your mouth comfortably while you sleep. Every night before bed, you simply place a thin ribbon of the tooth whitening gel into the tray and wear it while sleeping. Whitening happens gradually, with visible improvements seen within the first one to two weeks. For more difficult stains, the whitening trays can be worn for up to six weeks, ensuring your teeth are as white and bright as possible.
What is KöR Whitening? How is it Different?
Some stains are not on the outside of the tooth but are buried within the tooth enamel. These stains are impossible to reach with traditional bleaching, laser teeth whitening, or at-home kits that simply resolve exterior stains.
The KöR Whitening System is unique among teeth whitening systems, first by restoring your teeth's ability to absorb oxygen and allowing the whitening gel to absorb into the tooth enamel to remove deep-set stains and discoloration. KöR Whitening is the most effective tooth whitening system available and has been proven to remove stains that other systems are unable to remove.
Are You Ready for Whiter Teeth?
At Creating Smiles, our goal is always to improve our service and technology. We are proud to offer laser teeth whitening and the KöR Whitening system into our practice.
Our dentists are here to help. Submit a question anytime on our Ask The Doctor page for quick and convenient answers to all your tooth related questions.

DCU Center in Worcester, MA
MassDOT and Milone & MacBroom Demonstration: Rivers & Roads Training Program demonstration throughout the conference.
Participants will learn about river processes (fluvial geomorphology). Understanding why rivers do what they do is essential to managing flood risk in riverine environments, particularly at road-stream crossings such as culverts and bridges. We will use an interactive stream table and allow participants to experiment with various river and landscape scenarios to illustrate first-hand how rivers change their shape, erode banks, flood low-elevation areas, and impact infrastructure.

hyper-change that will alter the landscape as we know it today.
The new buzzword in the luxury segment coined by Ron Kurtz is "frugal fatigue" which roughly means the affluent are becoming tired of frugality. Perhaps that's analogous to "home sick" - the new home furnishing buzzword. It is defined as being sick of the way your home looks when you know you're going to live in it until its value increases, which is probably a long time. "Home sickness" bodes well for the floor covering industry.
Other trends don't look quite as positive for floor covering retailers however. Author and columnist Jonathan Trivers recently wrote (I paraphrase) that most independent floor covering stores are really just carpet stores. That's a problem because hard surface will be the primary beneficiary of any increase in new construction.
Perhaps it's appropriate to look forward ten years. I make these predictions and wonder how you see the floor covering world might change. The craziest vision may just come true.
1. Carpet, as a percent of floor covering, will have decreased to 40% of total sales which is a precipitous drop from its recent high above 70% during the 1980's and hovering now around 60%. An increase in new construction will force it to 50% within a short period of time.
2. The slowdown in carpet replacement driven by sales of hard surface will contribute to greatly diminish the number of independent floor covering stores. Within ten years, the number of independent floor covering stores in the United States will decrease to 6,000; half the current number. Consider that retail categories almost extinct now include record stores, hat stores, television stores, organ stores and local pharmacies.
3. "Reps," as we know them, will no longer exist.
4. Home centers will increase their share of market to 35%.
5. Armstrong may be purchased by a Mohawk, Shaw or an outside organization akin to Wolseley.
6. Wolseley DBA Ferguson has 1530 locations in North America. Their involvement would indelibly alter the floor covering industry; they already sell products that complement floor covering. Think "Long Tail" - the theory that our culture and economy are increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of mainstream products and markets at the head of the demand curve toward a huge number of niches in the tail.
7. Berkshire Hathaway will likely acquire additional companies. For example, the synergies with Sherwin-Williams and their 3,354 stores in North America would be compelling. Note: Berkshire Hathaway already owns Benjamin Moore. Would that make Sherwin-Williams into Shaw flooring stores?
8. Mohawk has their own strategic advantage to leverage; 250 Daltile locations. The stores already sell ceramic, porcelain, stone, laminate and wood. It's not a stretch to create full-line Mohawk home stores.
We don't know how different the world will be in ten years; only that it won't look anything like today. Difficult times are the platform for severe change in any industry. Planning for the future is particularly tricky when most in the floor covering industry are having a difficult time getting through the month. What are your plans; how are you going to compete? Are you prepared for the incomprehensible to become reality…again?
What do you think the floor covering industry will look like in ten years?

Predictions For the Changing Floor Covering Industry
Posted by The Floor Covering Institute Blog at 11:07 AM
2 comments:
You've made some really interesting predictions here.
I suspect the climate here in the UK flooring industry parallels your US experience pretty well.
There is definitely anecdotal evidence here about the increasing switch to hard flooring (particularly wood/laminate) and a feeling that more affluent homeowners may be riding the housing downturn by looking to improve their homes rather than selling.
Thank you for your comments. The market is fragile everywhere. The flooring industry is not falling apart; just be prepared for changes you never imagined. You're a piece in the puzzle and you have to be pliable.
Thanks to everyone who has called or responded with an email.

Financial Tips and Ideas from WireLend:
Window Shopping
To find products that are lesser in price, window shopping can be helpful. Through this, you can compare prices from one store to another and you will have the best and cheapest good for your needs. This kind of shopping is a great for saving money in your wallet as well and it can be fun as well.
Cut Down in Emotional Shopping
The emotional and mental state you're in when you go shopping often decides whether or not you're going to be able to stick to your list. You know the common knowledge about not shopping hungry. It's also important to not go shopping when you're sad, angry, or lonely. If it can't be avoided, do a breathing exercise to center yourself and clear your mind before you even get out of the car. Do you regularly shop to feel better? That could be costing you big. Find another way to soothe yourself. Above all, don't hit Amazon after a beer or two. Nothing good can come from it.

Tate Rink has a maximum capacity of just 2,648, which pales in comparison to the size of the hearts of the hockey players who skate across the ice with the superimposed Army West Point logo at center ice. They know it's bigger than hockey, even if it seems like it isn't during game night. The public address announcer calls the names of the first line to the point, and does the same for the opposing team. The national anthem is recited, and the Black Knights bang the blades of their sticks to the ice as they skate to the bench after a brief warmup.
It's astonishing to think the men's hockey team that represents the greatest leadership institution in the world has less than 3,000 people watch them play their home games. What's even more perplexing is the fact that head coach Brian Riley, a family friend of mine, is able to assemble a competitive team every year given his constraints, not just any hockey player can attend West Point. The son of legendary coach Jack Riley, who played for Team U.S.A. during the 1948 Winter Olympics and guided the Team U.S.A. hockey team to a gold medal in the 1960 Winter Olympics, Brian Riley is part of a family that has hockey engraved in its DNA. Most of Army's opponents are bigger and more skilled, but Army is able to counter that disadvantage with a punishing forecheck and speed, the latter becoming a staple in the NHL.
There's one particular series that stands out for Coach Riley and his troops, one that has more meaning than any other. Every year, they play against Mercyhurst in a two-game series near the end of January. Brian Riley's sons, Jack and Brendan, play for Mercyhurst. Jack is a redshirt senior this season, and Brendan is a sophomore. They both play forward, and Jack is currently a candidate for the Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the best Division I hockey player. While the Riley triumvirate share a great bond, for two nights each year it becomes Father vs. Sons. Brian Riley addresses his team while leaving no stone unturned before every game, but especially against his two sons, and he refuses to lose to them.
Last year, Army was 3-2 against Mercyhurst, with two of those victories coming in a best-of-three playoff series in the Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinals, the preliminary playoff series for the DI hockey conference that also includes Canisius, Holy Cross, Niagara, Robert Morris, American International College, Rochester Institute of Technology, Sacred Heart, and Bentley. More than two games against the Black Knights and Lakers is a rare occasion, but it's an extraordinary sight to see.
On Friday the 26th and Saturday, Janaury 27th, Army will once against host Mercyhurst at Tate Rink, with the puck drop at 7:05 on both nights. Army currently sits at 10-10-4 for the season, currently fourth in the Atlantic Hockey standings. They boast the second-best penalty kill unit in the nation, at an .889 rate, and that includes 16 consecutive successful kills. Army goalie Cole Bruns is having a standout season as well, as he currently ranks 14th in the country in save percentage (.916) and 34th in goals against average (2.57). Jack and Brendan will attempt to terminate the penalty kill streak this weekend, as the Riley Bros have combined for 12 goals this season. The tandem has guided Mercyhurst to a 12-10-3 record. These two games are usually the only sellouts for Army West Point hockey each season, but given the circumstances for the games, it's perfectly appropriate.

Keynote lectures will be delivered by distinguished international and national experts involved in the field.
The scientific program also offers some innovative contents. We are pleased to announce the Meet the expert interactive sessions that will be organized in the morning of each congress day, before the Symposia. The basic idea was to organise small groups with specific interest, which will have the opportunity to ask and discuss specific problems with the experts working in selected specialized fields of medical biochemistry and laboratory medicine.
For the first time, we are introducing 6 distinct Oral poster presentation sessions in the CSMBLM congress program schedule. Due to these sessions, more participants will have the opportunity to present selected top rated abstracts as oral communications. Therefore we encourage and invite you to submit your abstracts, as we plan to award two poster prizes, one for the best poster and one for the best oral communication.
Numerous sponsored industrial workshops and large accompanying exhibition of our industrial partners will provide up-to-date information on achievements regarding the latest laboratory equipment, reagents and accessories.
Along with the congress we also celebrate the 65th anniversary of the CSMBLM and the 30th anniversary of its independent activity. We hope that you will not miss the opportunity to join us at this jubilant congress and to contribute to the quality of the scientific program, making it a congress to remember.
We look forward to welcoming you in Zagreb.

Indigo Vat Dyeing
To achieve tones of indigos we have dye vats of varying strengths. The dye paste we use in these vats is processed and supplied by farmers we have trained in Central Java, east Bali, and central Flores who grow Strobilanthes cusia, and in Timor who grow Indigofera tinctoria.
Instead of using sodium dithionite, our indigo vats are reduced with unrefined palm sugar that is sourced from farmers in east Bali.
FACT: 100 m2 of planted Strobilanthes cusia in Flores produces 200 kg of fresh leaves per year which becomes 50 kg of indigo paste which dyes 25 kg of yarn or cloth.
Ceriops tagal Dyeing
A Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) 100% sustainably certified forest concession in Papua supplies the Ceriops tagal bark extract that we use to achieve rich red-brown earth tones. Instead of using industrial alum, this Ceriops dye is fixed with a plant-mordant of fallen Symplocos cochinchinensis leaves collected by community harvester groups we have established in Flores.
Mud Dyeing
Mud dyeing is perhaps one of the oldest fiber coloring processes. It is practiced around the world, and in Indonesia is found in Timor and Sulawesi. In the studio, pre-dyeing with Ceriops tagal prepares the fiber with a rich tannin. Adding the water from washing rice before cooking to an iron-rich mud causes fermentation that creates iron sulphate. Dyeing the Ceriops-colored fibre in the mud creates tannin-iron complexes that are black.
Soap Making and Waste Water
Avoiding polluting detergents, we make our own pH-neutral soap for use in our scouring and finishing processes with candlenut oil (Aleuritis molucanna ) sourced from a weaving community in Timor. We have tested our waste water and its pH, organic matter (from the dyes) and soap contents make it acceptable to use on the land. We collect our washing water in a tank, allow it to settle, and then use it to irrigate our dye garden.
Traditional undyed Fabric lengths
In Central Java, we work with traditional weavers and farmers who cultivate white cotton (Gossypium hirstrum) and heirloom brown cotton and then make it into culturally prescribed lengths of hand loomed cloth. Traditionally, these lengths are decorated with batik and used for dress or in ceremony. The plain cloths, purchased by Threads of Life to maintain the farming and weaving practices, provide an exquisite base for the deep colors we achieve.
Symplocos Plant Mordant
Symplocos are aluminium hyper-accumulating trees the leaves of which contain 3% aluminium. Symplocos has been used by traditional dyers as a dye-fixing mordant across south and southeast Asia for at least 2000 years. The only remaining stands of Symplocos in eastern Indonesia are in endangered forests where providing sustainable incomes is vital to conserving ancient woodlands. The Bebali Foundation works with the Indonesian Department of Forestry and local forest communities to facilitate the sustainable collection and sale of fallen Symplocos leaves.

WELLINGTON Town Council has voted to increase its share of council tax by 23 per cent.
The town council agreed the increase to its precept at its first meeting of the year last night (Monday, January 7).
The increase, of £9.57, would see its precept set at £51.19 per annum for Band D council tax.
Kathryn Hemensley, town clerk, said the increase was 'necessary' to ensure the council can 'respond to new challenges'.
She added: "We are facing a very challenging period.
"Taunton Deane Borough Council is going through a huge period of transformation. Some of the services traditionally provided by the district authority are being cut.
"We all expect some degree of challenge, and a challenging period can also be an exciting one.
"WTC has some innovative plans coming up, including plans for a pop-up shop and a film festival.
"If the town is to thrive it is necessary to maintain the same level of service - but we can't do that without spending money.
"It's important to remember WTC has built up a slight reserve to help protect the town. It's not unusual for councils to do that, it's good governance to do so.
"This would be the first reasonable increase in council tax in years."
The town council is responsible for a number of services throughout the area, including allotments, grants, footpaths and community safety.
Mayor of Wellington, Cllr Gary James, said: "Costs aren't going to go down and we want to provide the same level of service."
Cllr John Thorne put the figures into perspective - stating the increase would be less than 20p a week.
He said: "It's a 23 per cent increase, meaning 18 and a half pence a week.
"It's a very small increase, but the amount of value they get for the money they spend is terrific.
"We do an awful lot of good work for the money we spend."
The council's reserves is set to stand at a 'healthy' £316,399 at the end of March 2019. The council says this amount is 'more than adequate' to cover any unforeseen expenses during the financial year.
Cllr Mark Lithgow said: "Wellington Town Council has run a a very tight shop over the years, in difficult times.
"The pennies added is never welcome, but its necessary.
"We want this town to be somewhere people are proud to be."
For the previous two years, the authority has raised council tax minimally, with a one per cent increase in 2017/18 and a three per cent increase in 2018/19. This is the first significant increase since 2016/17, when the town council voted to increase tax by 46 per cent.
But one councillor, Marcus Barr, said he believes the council shouldn't be asking its residents for more money to cover increasing costs.
He said: "For me personally, we as a council can't keep relying on the electorate to make money.
"We need to start getting assets to make money.
"When Somerset County Council can't cover services anymore, we can't keep asking for another £10."

Amazon has filed a patent application with the USPTO for a technology that could use visual cues – like your eyes and face – to ascertain your job and potentially track you as you move around.
The patent application was filed in August 2017 and made public on Thursday. The technology could take samples from a database match the facial features to other records. it "[evaluates] the clothing that the individual is wearing, [identifies] the individual as Allen Brewer and then [determines] that Allen Brewer is an accountant," according to the patent filing.
The filing says the technology could make use of metadata to add even more details to what it knows about the individual – such as detect uniforms that connect an individual to a particular group, like sports jerseys or hats. The idea is that this filing could be added to Amazon's Rekognition, which is used to preventing package theft.

Blake Morrow is Luke Masters' former detective partner and best friend. He is currently possessed by a demon and had murdered his partner's wife, Theresa.
Early lifeEdit
Years ago, Blake was Luke Masters best friend and a good friend of Theresa, Luke's wife. One day Luke went out for groceries and while he was gone, Blake kissed Theresa and bit her tongue off. Theresa died of blood loss and Blake was arrested.[1]
Years later, Blake received a visit from Luke, Kyle, and Reverend Anderson.[2] The Reverend and Kyle asked Blake a few questions and Reverend came to a conclusion that Blake was just mentally ill. Before they left, Luke told them he was not mentally ill as he knew him long enough to know that wasn't him. When they returned, Blake mentioned how he knew Kyle, the same words a possessed Joshua Austin had said. Reverend attempted and exorcism and told Kyle to hold him down. Reverend's methods failed and Kyle began holding Blake causing him to feel agitated. Luke pulled the two away as he saw Blake suffer. Kyle and the Reverend were in disbelief as the exorcism had failed and Blake begged for more.[3]

Best Method To Make Beats In FL Studio - FL Beat Tutorials. Today I was browsing through forums and a question came up.
What is your preferred method to make beats? I figured this would be a great time to discuss beatmaking methods and give some FL Studio tips at the same time. This individual was specifically looking for the method you are using to create your beats. There are many different ways to do it including: Loop recordingComposing notes in the piano rollRecording live instruments First of all I want to point out that there is no right or wrong way to create a beat. So let's look at some of the common methods and you can pick a beat making method that works best for you. Composing Notes In The FL Studio Piano Roll This method of beatmaking involves opening up FL Studio and composing notes on the piano roll as you compose the track. The major downside of using the piano roll is that it is so much harder to improvise parts. Loop Recording In FL Studio. Building Beats in FL Studio. Now that FL Studio has the doors more officially opened towards the Mac, lots of new users are coming out of the woodwork.
This lends to its renewed growth as a platform. But, because it's technically running within a Windows emulation on your Mac, it can get a little confusing. For PC users, having strange Explorer windows pop up is no big deal, but Mac guys may be left scratching their heads. Also, the Step Sequencer is amazing for drums, but how do you get more intricate?

FL Studio Tutorials: Song Structure (Part 1) [S01EP8] Mandolin Practice Tips. A woman recently sent a message, saying, she'd be interested in hearing the process of learning a new tune.
What Makes A Tune Easy to Learn This has been on my mind lately, because I've found that learning by ear has many benefits over learning from tab or standard notation. Tab and standard notation allows you to correctly learn the tune from the beginning. However, it can draw out the amount of time one takes to learn a tune. When learning by ear, we have to listen to the tune repeatedly, which helps us get the tune stuck in our mind. Once we've figured all this out, then what?

World of Futuristic views
Welcome to my first post, Futuristic views, in the Open Your Eyes series.
This month of March, the series features the Top 3 interesting article that caught my attention from the in-flight magazine I saw during my flight to Amsterdam.
- Under Restuarant
- Uber, the new flying Taxi
- Automated Hotel, managed by bots!
Under Restuarant
Under Water restaurant, is located in the southernmost coast of Norway.
The underwater restaurant, designed as a periscope, is aptly named as "Under". But wait, it's not the "Under" as in the
Of course, no doubt that it's a real wonder. This first underwater restaurant in Europe is going to be open in spring 2019.
The construction started on Jan 15, 2018, and the restaurant is planned to be open to the public by beginning of this month. This entire hotel weighs around 2000 tons. Why not? With 0.5 meters thick wall of reinforced concreate, it is sure to weigh so much.
Shocked? Wait, I have more shocks coming up.
This entire restaurant is being constructed outside the icy waters of the North Atlantic in Lindesnes and to be immersed in the water after completion.
It can house up to 100 people and will serve the seafood specialty. The highlight of this hotel is that it would have a glass window to provide an excellent view for the guests through the 11×4 meter glass window – a breathtaking view of the seabed.
Are you interested to book a table in this restaurant? Do not wait, head here to do so.
Uber, the new flying Taxi
Next article is about the revolutionary vision of Uber on how to make the flying in reach to the general public – after the
With the growing amount of traffic, don't we all love to have a safe, reliable and affordable flying taxi service? No, it is no more a science fiction or fantasy. This is going to be a reality soon in the coming years.
Uber is planning to come up with such a taxi service in Los Angeles by 2023. I am sure it is going to be fully implemented before the Olympic games in 2028 in LA.
They are already working with their partners on launching a dedicated fleet of small, electric "Vertical takeoff and landing" aircraft.
Finally, no more waiting at the boarding gates. Call, book and fly!
Automated Hotel, managed by bots
The last article I want to highlight here is again a futuristic vision that is more or less have become a reality now. It is about the power of Artificial Intelligence and the market it brings.
Can we say technology is replacing humans and their job?
Well, it's surely an interesting debate. But for now, I would assume that technology is helping humans to spend more time in areas where we really need more focus. And other typical jobs are being taken up by the Robots.
Tech giants like Alibaba and Tencent are already setting up the fully automated hotels. Is this the new trend?
I would say yes. There are hotels that have tech robots that can allow you to check-in using facial recognition. And rooms with voice-activated lighting systems to serve the guests.
And I believe that it is time to say bye-bye to the Receptionist-Robot and book my Uber flying taxi to get to the Under restaurant in Norway.
So, how was your experience traveling with me on this new series "Open my eyes"?
Hope you loved it and please do drop your valuable feedbacks and comments to let me know if I am in right direciton.
Also, feel free to tag my post when you share your experience as well.
With this, I come to the end of this article. And I am sure you are very eager to look around and observe more around you in the next travel.
See you with another interesting observation in the next month for my Open Your Eyes series.
Because, it's the Journey that matters!!!

Hacking websites training in Windows
Many web applications have been created that specifically contain vulnerabilities to train hacker skills.
Some of them are distributed installed and configured specifically for this purpose intended Linux distributions, some can be installed by yourself in any Linux distribution (for an example see the article "How to install OWASP Mutillidae II and Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA) in Kali Linux".
And in this article I will explain how to install and configure vulnerable web applications in Windows. Installation instructions will be given for:
- OWASP Mutillidae II
- Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA)
- bWAPP
You can install only one of them or all at once – they are independent of each other.
This manual will be useful to those who are more accustomed to working in Windows. In addition, some of the vulnerabilities have their own specifics: for example, the OS command injection on Linux and on Windows is exploited in different ways.
All of these vulnerable web applications run on a web server (actually, like any other web applications). Therefore, we need a web server. You can install it in any way, I have the instruction 'How to install web server on Windows 10 (Apache 2.4, PHP 7, MySQL 8.0 and phpMyAdmin)' and my web server is installed in accordance with it. If your web server is installed in another way, then you may need to slightly edit the paths in the file system, but, in general, the installation principle is the same everywhere.
After installing the web server, also see the article "How to protect the Apache web server from hacking in Windows" - otherwise, while you learn to hack, you will be hacked.
In the c:\Server\data\htdocs\ folder create the directory pentest.
In the c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\ folder create the .htaccess file, open it with a text editor, and copy there:
Require local
This setting ensures that no one from outside can access these vulnerable environments. Otherwise, a hacker can hack the entire computer through these vulnerable web applications because in Windows the web server has permissions to all folders and files.
If you need a web server to be accessible on the local network (for example, you will attack web applications from another computer with Kali Linux), then instead of the above line, insert in the .htaccess file:
Require ip 127 Require ip 192.168 Require ip ::1
This setting allows access for IP in 127.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/16 ranges, as well as IPv6 addresses ::1/128 (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1) (analogous to localhost).
In any case, access to vulnerable environments should be as limited as possible to outsiders.
How to install OWASP Mutillidae II in Windows
Moving on to installing and configuring OWASP Mutillidae II.
Download the OWASP Mutillidae II: https://github.com/webpwnized/mutillidae/archive/master.zip (this is the official site, always the latest version).
Unzip the downloaded archive into the folder c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\ and rename it from mutillidae-master to mutillidae.
Open the c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\mutillidae\.htaccess file, delete the lines from it:
Order Deny,Allow Deny from all ## This allows access from localhost Allow from 127. Allow from localhost ## This is to allow access from other machines on Virtual Box host-only networks. Allow from 192.168.0.0/16
and add the lines instead:
Require ip 127 Require ip 192.168 Require ip ::1
Save and close the file.
Open the c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\mutillidae\includes\database-config.inc file and in the line
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mutillidae');
instead of mutillidae, set your password from MySQL (empty by default).
Save and close the file.
Now in your web browser, open http://localhost/pentest/mutillidae
On the page, find 3. Try to setup/reset the DB to see if that helps in it go to http://localhost/pentest/mutillidae/set-up-database.php
Now reopen http://localhost/pentest/mutillidae:
Everything is ready – now you can begin to train to hack websites.
How to install Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA) in Windows
Now install and configure the Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA).
Download the latest version of Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA) from the official website at the link: https://github.com/ethicalhack3r/DVWA/archive/master.zip
Unzip the downloaded archive to c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\ and rename it from DVWA-master to DVWA.
In the c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\DVWA\config\ folder find the config.inc.php.dist file and copy it to the same folder, but with the name config.inc.php (or just rename it).
Open the c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\DVWA\config\config.inc.php file and find the line
$_DVWA[ 'db_password' ] = 'p@ssw0rd';
and replace p@ssw0rd with your actual password. By default, the password is blank.
Open the c:\Server\bin\PHP\php.ini file and find the line there:
allow_url_include = Off
replace this line with:
allow_url_include = On
Restart the web server for the changes to take effect:
c:\Server\bin\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -k restart
Open http://localhost/pentest/DVWA/ and click the Create / Reset Database button there:
Log in to http://localhost/pentest/DVWA/login.php:
By the way, username: admin, password: password.
And everything is ready:
Do not forget to change the level of complexity, as the default is set to impossible, for this, go to the DVWA Security tab: http://localhost/pentest/DVWA/security.php
How to install bWAPP in Windows
Finally install and configure bWAPP in Windows
Download the latest version of bWAPP: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bwapp/files/latest/download
In the c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\ folder create a directory bWAPP. Extract the contents of the bWAPP_latest.zip archive to the c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\ directory.
Open the c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\admin\settings.php file and find the line in it:
$db_password = "bug";
In this line, change the bug to the password of your MySQL (empty by default). Save and close this file.
Follow http://localhost/pentest/bWAPP/bWAPP/install.php the link.
Find Click here to install there bWAPP and the http://localhost/pentest/bWAPP/bWAPP/install.php?install=yes link – click on it.
Everything is ready, go to http://localhost/pentest/bWAPP/bWAPP/
Username: bee, password: bug
Note: unfortunately, due to the fact that bWAPP has not been updated for a long time, some of its pages are not compatible with new versions of PHP. For example, pages for practicing SQL injections will generate an error due to the use of the mysql_connect() function. In principle, there are no special problems in fixing – just move to mysqli_connect(). To do this, edit the c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\connect.php file (you can simply copy the contents of c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\connect_i.php into it, and also all files of the type c:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\sqli_*.php.
If you wish, you can do it yourself – a bonus exercise. Or simply use the other vulnerable environments discussed above to practice using SQL injection.
If you have installed a web server specifically for training in vulnerable web applications and you are afraid that the server may impair the security of your computer, then you can disable the web server after practicing penetration testing.
To disable the web server and remove its services from startup, run:
c:\Server\bin\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -k stop c:\Server\bin\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -k uninstall net stop mysql c:\Server\bin\mysql-8.0\bin\mysqld --remove
In this case, the server will be completely disabled, as if it is not on the computer at all, but the sites and databases will remain.
The next time you go back to practice and you will need a web server, start all the services you need:
c:\Server\bin\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -k install c:\Server\bin\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -k start C:\Server\bin\mysql-8.0\bin\mysqld --install net start mysql
After the work is finished, stop the web server services again, as shown above.
Error (Mutillidae):
By default, Mutillidae only allows access from localhost (127.*.*.*). Edit the .htaccess file to change this behavior (not recommended on a public network).
This message states that by default Mutillidae only allows access from 127.*.*.*. It also suggests changing the .htaccess file if you want to change this behavior, which is not recommended in public networks.
This error may occur even if you actually open Mutillidae on the local computer. The fact is that the authors have forgotten about IPv6, and in Windows, when accessing localhost, the local IPv6 address is used, which is not provided in the original .htaccess. Therefore, to remedy the situation without weakening the protection, open the .htaccess file, find and delete the lines there
Order Deny,Allow Deny from all ## This allows access from localhost Allow from 127. Allow from localhost ## This is to allow access from other machines on Virtual Box host-only networks. Allow from 192.168.0.0/16
and add the lines instead:
Require ip 127 Require ip 192.168 Require ip ::1
Error (DVWA):
DVWA System error - config file not found. Copy config/config.inc.php.dist to config/config.inc.php and configure to your environment.
You need to copy or rename the config/config.inc.php.dist file in config/config.inc.php, and also enter the username and password of your MySQL server there.
Error (bWAPP):
Warning: mysqli::__construct(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\connect_i.php on line 23 Connection failed: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
And also:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\connect.php:23 Stack trace: #0 C:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\sqli_3.php(23): include() #1 {main} thrown in C:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\connect.php on line 23 Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_query() in C:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\sqli_3.php:144 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in C:\Server\data\htdocs\pentest\bWAPP\bWAPP\sqli_3.php on line 144
The error is caused by the mysql_connect() function, which is not defined (unknown).
This extension, mysql_connect, has been deprecated since PHP 5.5.0, and has been removed in recent PHP versions. Use MySQLi or PDO_MySQL instead. Alternatives for this feature:
- mysqli_connect()
- PDO::__construct()
If you encounter this error, contact the author to correct it, or edit the source code by yourself to switch from mysql_connect() to mysqli_connect().

Are you ready to have the best night EVER?
Plus it's your Birthday so...
Seriously, I don't know what it is, but birthday parties have a unique "family vibe" going down. Out of all the event types we provide photo booth rental services for, from weddings to graduations and even holiday parties, we never feel so welcomed and so included as with Birthday parties.
Maybe it's because it's only your closest family and friends (and us) in attendance, compared to weddings where there's so many people that don't know each other. At birthday parties it's so often that someone's mother is bringing us plates of food, people are questioning our manhood for not excepting tequila shots and we're pulled into the photo booth with the guests way more than at other events. Whatever it is, we #LOVEBIRTHDAYPARTIES.

It is regularly acknowledged that The Hanging Gardens of Babylon more then likely were not really "hanging" but instead "hanging" was gotten from an estimated interpretation of the Greek word "kremastos" which signifies "overhanging". The patio nurseries depicted as being 100 feet long by 100 feet wide are said to have been developed on tremendous quadrangle molded porches made of block and organized in step-like levels. Each of the porches contained vaults that had been worked underneath them and bolstered the entire weight of the garden. On an indistinguishable level from the city dividers was the most astounding purpose of the garden and the highest vault at a noteworthy height of 75 feet. Covering the vaults were tops of stone pillars roughly sixteen feet long. It was inconceivable in Babylon right now for such pieces of stone to be utilized. Reeds intermixed with thick tar were layered over the bars, trailed by two levels of block and a lead layer intended to stop any dampness in the soil from leaking through the rooftop. Enough earth was heaped on the rooftop at that point to empower planting of even the biggest of trees. A few creators depicted the greenery enclosures as raised on high sections of stone, which empowered subjects of Babylon to stroll underneath them.
Despite the fact that clearly in the dry forsake atmosphere, the greenery enclosures couldn't have existed without some sort of water system to feed them, there are clashing hypotheses about how this water system was refined. There is extra verbal confrontation about whether the Hanging Gardens of Babylon did to be sure exist principally on the grounds that researchers today demand that lone a convoluted water system framework could have conveyed the water from the Euphrates up to the point where it could have been utilized to flood the patio nurseries. The verdant Hanging Gardens are altogether recognized by Greek and Roman antiquarians however no documentation or specify of the Hanging Gardens exists in Babylonian records. It is conceivable that throughout the years, the real area could have been exchanged with existing patio nurseries in Ancient Assyria, being that there are tablet compositions that unmistakably report plants in that area.
It is accepted by some that throughout the years the Hanging Gardens of Babylon may have been mistaken for gardens that existed at Nineveh, on the eastern side of the Tigris River, since tablets from that point unmistakably indicate gardens. Documentation on the Nineveh tablets, do delineate a strategy for raising the water to the tallness that would have been required to inundate the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The absence of say of the Hanging Gardens all through Babylonian history and the way that there are no remnants accessible that can give confirm the gigantic patio nurseries existed, imply that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon right up 'til today remain the main unsubstantiated structure among the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World.

Get to Know Your Stone
The first step in proper stone care and maintenance is to understand your stone's geological classification and composition. this information will help you to identify what cleaning products to use and how best to care for your natural stone.
Natural stone is categorized into three basic geological classifications by their respective formation processes: Sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. Additionally, stones in each category can be either Calcareous or Siliceous.
Calcareous stone is composed mainly of calcium carbonate, a chemical compound commonly found in natural stone, shells and pearls. Calcium Carbonate is sensitive to acidic solutions so mild, non-acidic cleaners are recommended.
Siliceous stone, as the term implies, is one composed primarily of silicates, such as quartz, feldspar, mica, etc. as such, a siliceous stone is generally resistant to most acids found in kitchen settings, although acidic cleaners are still not recommended, as these stones may contain trace levels of minerals that are acid sensitive.
The following chart will be a helpful guide:
To get the longest life and preserve the beauty of your natural stone, follow these simple tips:
Coasters: Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Trivets: While many stones can withstand heat, the use of trivets or mats is recommended. Dust Mopping: Dust mop interior floors frequently using a clean non-treated dry dust mop. Sand, dirt and grit are abrasive and can damage natural stone. Mats/rugs: Mats or area rugs inside and outside an entrance will help to minimize the sand, dirt and grit that may scratch the stone floor. Be sure that the underside of the mat or rug is a slip resistant surface. Vacuum cleaners: If used, be sure the metal or plastic attachments or the wheels are not worn as they can scratch the surface of some stones. Spills: Blot the spill with a paper towel immediately. Don't wipe the area, it will spread the spill. Flush the area with water and mild soap and rinse several times. Dry the area thoroughly with a soft cloth. Repeat as necessary.
Cleaning:" Pietra Colorata " is belong calcerous stone group .
• Clean stone surfaces with a neutral cleaner, stone soap, or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. • Similar to any item cleaned in your home, an excessive concentration of cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks. Follow manufacturer recommendations. • Use a clean rag mop on floors and a soft cloth for other surfaces for best results. • Rinse the surface thoroughly after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft cloth. • Change the rinse water frequently. • In the bath or other wet areas, soap scum can be minimized by using a squeegee after each use. To remove soap scum, use a non-acidic soap scum remover
Cleaning Products:
• Many suppliers offer products used for stone cleaning. • Natural Stone tiles do not need much maintenance, however, you must be sure to clean with a non-abrasive, pH neutral cleaning product. • Products containing lemon, vinegar or other acids may dull or etch calcareous stones. • Scouring powders or creams often contain abrasives that may scratch certain stones. • Highly acidic cleaning products will cause damage to natural stone tile structure and should be strictly avoided • Avoid using mops or chemicals with abrasive grit, as this could damage the tiles and surface • Many commercially available rust removers (laundry rust stain removers, toilet bowl cleaners) contain trace levels of hydrofluoric acid (HF). This acid attacks silicates in addition to other minerals. All stones, including granite and quartzite, will be attacked if exposed to HF. • Avoid using bleach to clean tiles, as this removes the sealer and exposes tiles to staining • Sweeping or mopping tiles regularly will help ensure the durability of your floor • Do not mix ammonia and bleach. This combination creates a toxic and lethal gas.
Sealing is a common step taken on some stones as an extra precaution against staining. In fact, the sealing products used in the stone industry are "impregnators" which do not actually seal the stone, but more correctly act as a repellent rather than a sealer. Sealing does not make the stone stain proof, rather it makes the stone more stain resistant. When consulting with your stone supplier, you may find that many stones do not require sealing. However, applying an impregnating sealer is a common practice. When considering sealing, remember that sealing the stone does not make the stone stain proof, it makes it more resistant to staining. If a sealer is applied in a food preparation area, be sure that it is non-toxic and safe for use. Consult with your supplier or sealing manufacturer specific to the type of sealer and frequency of use recommended.

Greetings, Parents and Students! First, the next month will bring something new as we begin practicing for our End of Year Show. It's going to be great, and everyone will have a part to say. So, what were some of our highlights from the month of April?
We started working with adjectives in Grammar class a few weeks ago. First, we worked on describing the appearance and personality of people. Next, we moved into taste and smell adjectives, which led naturally to a stimulating activity where we used new adjectives to describe a variety of different foods. That lesson made us all feel a bit hungry!
In Journal, one of the most popular writing tasks was 'The Jellyfish with a Brain.' Each student wrote a fiction story based on the nonfiction story we read in Reading the previous month. Another wonderful topic was 'My Own Money,' where students designed and described their own paper money that the whole world could use.
In Science class, we have been looking at the qualities of solids, gases, and liquids. This was a great unit for exploring with our hands and our eyes and for using the adjectives we've been studying in Grammar. For example, one great activity we did was look at objects through hand lenses to see how the details change and then write descriptions.
In Social Studies, we started with an illuminating lesson on barter and trade. To see how bartering would work in everyday life, we tried to barter our own objects (drawings of them) to get something else that we want. Then we moved into learning about early Americans and European explorers.
Learning about trade in Social Studies was a great basis for finishing our Research lesson on Petra, which was a vital crossing point for traders in ancient times. Now we've moved back into Italy and begun learning about the Colosseum. Students listened to short sections about this amazing structure and wrote the information they learned. Coming up next month, we will finish our Research section with Macchu Picchu!
I'm looking forward to a great May!
