WikiLeaks: We Don't Know Who Leaked Documents
WikiLeaks' chief claims his organization doesn't know who sent it some 91,000 secret U.S. military documents, telling journalists that the website is set up to hide the source of its data from those who receive it.
Editor-in-chief Julian Assange says the added layer of secrecy helps protect the site's sources from spy agencies and hostile corporations. He acknowledged that the site's anonymous submissions raised concerns about the authenticity of the material, but said the site has not yet been fooled by a bogus document.
Assange made the claim in a lengthy hour talk before London's Frontline Club late Tuesday, in which he outlined the workings of WikiLeaks and defended its mission.
Meanwhile, a Pentagon investigation will determine whether criminal charges will be filed in the leaking of the Afghanistan war secrets, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday.
Holder, speaking to reporters during a visit to Egypt, said the Justice Department is working with the Pentagon-led investigation to determine the source of the leak.
"I deplore the release of classified information. It is not really in the national interest of the United States to have that kind of material leaked," Holder said.
"The Justice Department is working with the Department of Defense with regard to an investigation concerning who the source of that leak, or the source of those leaks might be," he said. "Whether there will be criminal charges brought will depend on how the investigation goes."
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Tuesday that the Defense Department has launched a "very robust investigation" into the leak of secret documents on the war in Afghanistan published Sunday by WikiLeaks, an online site.
The WikiLeaks material ranges from files documenting Afghan civilian deaths to evidence of U.S.-Pakistani distrust. President Barack Obama said he was concerned about the massive leak of sensitive documents, but the papers did not reveal any concerns that were not already part of the debate over the war.
But U.S. military and intelligence officials are worried about the impact on the military's human intelligence network built up over the past eight years inside Afghanistan and Pakistan.
An earlier investigation by the Army's criminal investigative division led to a prosecution in a separate case of leaks to the website. Bradley Manning, an Army intelligence specialist, has been charged with multiple counts of mishandling and leaking classified data, on suspicion he handed over to Wikileaks a classified 2007 video that shows a group of on unarmed men in Iraq walking down the street before being repeatedly shot by the Apache helicopters. The American gunners can be heard laughing and referring to the men as "dead bastards."
If convicted on all charges, Manning could be sentenced to a maximum 52 years in prison.

Looks like the Centre Street Bridge in High River's going to be closed for a long stretch this week.
After some back and forth over dates, the Town says the bridge will close Tuesday, July 24 and stay closed Wednesday, July 25, and Thursday, July 26.
It's all to accommodate work on the flood gate and give crews an extra day to ensure underground utilities aren't being damaged.
The Town suggests using 5th Street S.E. to 498th Avenue as an alternate route.
You can also take 20th Avenue N.E. to 498th.
The Town hopes to have the flood gate construction wrapped up by late October.

SHERIDAN — On Saturday, carbon tech company Ramaco Carbon submitted a revised permit application for the Brook Mine, on mineral reserves and land it owns and controls in Sheridan County. Rather than simply addressing the issues raised by the Environmental Quality Council in September 2017, individuals associated with the project said the application revises and improves the requested permit with comprehensive environmental and quality of life protections.
"This revised application exceeds not only what's required under state law, but federal regulations as well," said Jeff Barron, a project manager with WWC Engineering who led work on the revisions submitted Friday to Wyoming's Department of Environmental Quality.
"It is extremely comprehensive," Barron said. "We're confident it addresses the concerns raised by EQC commissioners and the Sheridan community. It certainly provides the most far reaching environmental protections of any coal mine permit ever considered in Wyoming."
The Powder River Basin Resource Council, which have been vocally against the project, and some neighbors expressed doubt in the revised application.
"We haven't seen the permit application yet, but we don't expect this one to be any better than the last one," said Joan Tellez, a neighboring Tongue River Valley landowner. "They haven't had time to collect the data or do the sampling required by the Environmental Quality Council. We're still waiting for Ramaco to keep their promises, and believe this is just more smoke and mirrors. The mine plans keep changing in scope and size; it's a moving target, so we don't believe anything until we see it."
Staff attorney for PRBRC Shannon Anderson said they remained skeptical that Ramaco Carbon has addressed all the serious problems from the first mine permit.
According to a press release from Ramaco Carbon, Tte primary changes to the Brook Mine application include:
• Enhanced modeling efforts that confirm the project will have minimal impacts to existing water supply wells, local aquifers and the Tongue River alluvial valley. The revised application expands the hydrologic study area and incorporates additional data points and technical information to better safeguard the resources. All this has been incorporated in the predictive modeling. Independent water monitoring research conducted by the Sheridan County Conservation District is also included in the permit application.
• The revised application scales back initial production tonnage by 90 percent. This reflects the mine's use as part of an integrated platform to provide feedstock for a variety of high-value coal based carbon products, which do not require the same coal volumes as utility usage. This reduction will also mean more limited commercial traffic in the immediate area during business hours, and a lower overall impact for the project.
• The plan commits to limits on the blast shot size, a commitment to not blast near sunset or on weekends/ federal holidays, and an opt-in advance notification system for neighbors within ½ mile of the shot.
• An independent firm has completed a design report for the first area where high wall mining will occur and also reviewed the causation of historic subsidence in the region. They have confirmed the mine design does not create the types of conditions that have led to subsidence in the past. This report will serve as the template for future highwall mining designs throughout the permit area.
Randall Atkins, CEO of Ramaco Carbon, said the company was proud of the revised application.
"We wanted to show the Sheridan community, and Wyoming overall, that we will to be good stewards of the land, air and overall environment, as well as be sensitive to local concerns. This we feel we have done, while still addressing the economic needs to create a viable project which will ultimately benefit the entire community and state," Atkins said in a press release. "For those who have raised concerns about the project, we've reflected a plan which surpasses the EQC's recommendations with additional environmental and quality of life protections.
"Ramaco Carbon looks forward to continue being a productive, positive member of Sheridan community for years to come," Atkins continued. "Hopefully this application shows our seriousness of purpose."
The proposed Brook Mine will be part of the first vertically integrated resource, research and manufacturing carbon tech complex that will also include the iCAM carbon research park, which Ramaco recently announced will soon commence construction — and the iPark coal-to-products manufacturing facilities. A recent report by the American Jobs Project, a nonpartisan think tank, designated the carbon tech industry as one of Wyoming's top economic opportunities, capable of supporting 2600 jobs annually in the state.

In its July issue, Wired magazine takes note of a disturbing trend: The apparent unwillingness among young, music-loving cool types to let the cassette tape die a complete and much-deserved death.
Noting that 2010 saw both the last new car ship with a tape player and the end of production for Sony's Walkman (note to youth: It was like an iPod, except way shittier), the magazine scratches its head at recent tape-only releases from indie-rockers like the Mountain Goats and electronic musicians like Matthewdavid.
"Cassettes are about to be cool again," we're told.
Not if we have anything to say about it.
Perhaps some of you whippersnappers are confused by the recent resurgence of vinyl into thinking that all dead formats will have their day in the zombie spotlight. They won't.
Cassettes are not vinyl. They don't have pretty labels and large art. They do not spin elegantly. Cassettes come unspooled, leave sprawling plasticky messes of sticky ribbon behind, perish in summer heat, and wear completely out. (You try killing off your treasured tape of Thriller at the vulnerable age of 7 and see how it makes you feel.)
Cassettes also do not sound good. Lacking the crisp clarity of a CD or the punchy warmth of vinyl, music on cassette sounds flat and dull. It's like playing music through your computer speakers, except it sounds that way all the time.
Admittedly, cassettes are the original format of the mixtape, which has considerable romantic value. And ghetto blasters will always be cool. But there are lots of ways to make a mixtape these days without the hassle of using actual cassettes. Don't want to make an iTunes or Rdio playlist? Why not try this crazy new technology called a recordable CD? And if you want to put giant speakers on your shoulders, check out the iPod Ghetto Blaster, or TDK's new boom box.
Perhaps the best reason not to let cassettes come back: Do you actually own a tape player? Outside of your car? Yeah, we didn't think so -- because no one does. (Hell, do you even own a dedicated CD player anymore?)
Don't worry, kiddies. You're not missing anything with cassette tapes -- except a chance to look like nostalgic hayseeds to those who've lived longer than you. Tapes are dead -- or at least mostly dead. Let's bury them for good.

If you own a room that is a bit on the narrow side, there's a very simple strategy to produce the room appear broader. The lightingin a room can actually alter the visual appeal of all of the elements. It became a room in a room, ideal for intimate conversation. A little room will open up with the usage of big prints. It needs to appear larger than it is to feel comfortable. If you are in possession of a little room in your home, it's possible to easily accomplish the illusion of length.
Lines are bright and simple to see indoors. They can also create movement. It might be said that line is at the core of form, as it's within the other 3 aspects. The lines work to be sure we know who is the most essential character within this story. Horizontal lines will provide you feeling that you're closed in, so go together with something vertical instead. They tend to add the illusion of width and vertical lines tend to add to the height of a room. The new horizontal line produces a sense of space over the furniture.
If you want to paint all the walls with stripes you will want to adjust accordingly. The walls continue to be there and they aren't just for artwork. A design wall is among the tools that are of immense benefit to any quilt-maker. Utilizing a design wall will add a new degree of creativity and life to your quilting and assure a design you'll be pleased with for a long time to come.
Whenever you have lines disappearing into perspective you might feel just like you are moving forward into a space. The line is a symbol which can be found anywhere or everywhere since it is a trace of a moving point. These lines help to lead you in maintaining an even height for those letters. Just a few know that every form of lines has its very own psychological effect on a room. If you wish to earn a space flow curving lines are an excellent means to do it.
In the interior design world it is not uncommon to use vertical and horizontal lines to be able to trick the eye and earn a space feel larger in some manner. Minor lines can be quite faint or might not even be apparent, which is fairly common. Curved lines can be gotten in your custom draperies by including a balloon curtain or an extremely full and light drapery which has a great deal of volume and pleats or folds in it. They can either be calm or dynamic depending on the curve numbers. Implied lines may also extend past the edges of an artwork. Diagonal lines convey a sense of movement. It could already be emphasizing a particular line.

AG Barr released a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's more than 400-page report to the public on Thursday. On Friday, Trump blasted some parts of the report as total 'bullsh*t'
President Donald Trump said there was no reason to respond to statements he claimed were "total bullshit."
The president made tweeted those remarks on Friday morning, one day after Attorney General William Barr released a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report to the public.
Trump said that since he had not agreed to testify, "it was not necessary for me to respond to statements made in the 'Report' about me, some of which are total bullshit & only given to make the other person look good (or me to look bad)."
The newly-released report showed that Mueller decided against issuing a subpoena for Trump because he believed it would cause a significant delay in the investigation.
The president also said to "watch out for people that take so-called 'notes,' when the notes never existed until needed," possibly referring to parts of the report that are attributed to notes taken by White House officials. Citing notes from former Attorney General Jeff Sessions' chief of staff, Jody Hunt, the report claims that Trump was concerned when Sessions told him a special counsel had been appointed to investigate Russia's influence in the 2016 election.

When you choose the right projects to improve in your house, you build equity and at the same time live a more comfortable life. Remodelling those areas of your house that do not add value to your home will only lead to wastage of money and time. Here are areas around your home that when improved, can add equity.
You do not need to go out of your way and spend lots of money on your lawns. Adding things like expensive plants or fountains will not guarantee improved equity. Instead, ensure that the landscape is well maintained. Make sure that your lawn is well trimmed. If you have a garden, ensure that it is well kept with flowers and small trees. Always weed it out to make sure it's neat.
The outdoor deck is essential since you will get to eat, lounge, and even grill your meat comfortably. You can choose cost-efficient materials like wood for your deck. Although they will cost you some money, they will add some value to your home. You as well get a place where you can gather as a family outdoors and catch up.
You should change your windows into more energy efficient ones. Drifty and old makes your house look dull. New windows may not be cheap, but they are worth your money. They make your home energy efficient throughout the year. Your winters will be warm and your summer will be cool. They will also help reduce the amount of money you spend on electricity when heating your home.
Kitchens can be expensive, especially if you have a high end and expensive taste in appliances such as marble countertops or designer backsplashes. However, you can still choose some classy yet inexpensive appliances. You can make a spacious and updated kitchen that will increase the equity of your home. It will also appear even more attractive.
Remodelling your bathrooms also goes a long way to attract potential buyers in the future. It is something that you will be using every day, and guests will be using them as well. It can be expensive, but it is worth your money and time. You do not have to break your bank, but you can use some less costly yet luxurious appliances.
Paying off home loans
You should be committed to paying off your loans quickly. When you can pay your loan in time, you will have full ownership of your home, and your lender gives you the title. As a result, you will have earned the right to all the equity on your home. You can use it to get any other loan that you require in the future. It will also attract additional potential buyers of your home. You can even pay a more down payment to ensure that you do not get more loans than you can pay. It will also lower your interest rates and repayments.
Final word
Building equity can take more time. You will need to be patient and be determined as you pay your loans and make these adjustments on your home. With good equity, you can even take out another mortgage or any other personal loans.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a semiconducting material combining high conductivity and high transparency in the visible range. It is the most widely used transparent conducting oxide in applications such as flat panel displays. In this work, ITO thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) onto transparent glass substrates. The substrate temperature and oxygen pressure during deposition were controlled to generate a variety of microstructures and electro-optical properties. Similar film thicknesses were used to avoid any change of carrier concentration. The dielectric function and complex refractive index were derived using spectroscopic ellipsometry and electron energy loss spectroscopy.

Medical education faces 3 major challenges: evolving education in response
to a changing society, eroding clinical dollars to support education with
pressure on clinicians to increase productivity, and lack of support for teaching
efforts. Changes in both the content and process of medical education are
influenced by multiple factors. Of utmost importance in directing changes
in the training of physicians is a commitment to respond to societal needs
and expectations.
Medical schools are seeking input from patients, their families, and
the community at large to identify concerns and new directions.1
At the same time, changes in curriculum, particularly in undergraduate medical
education, are being examined to determine if these changes reflect those
identified needs and expectations.2 Thus, we
must consider not only what is taught, but also how, where, and why.

Interview with Lorne Lanning [hosted by UGO] Date: 4 February, 2005 Interviewer: UGO Interviewee: Lorne Lanning Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20050418001205/http://ugo.com/channels/games/features/oddworldstranger/lorne.asp
Back in 1997, Lorne Lanning brought to this world Oddworld; a planet filled with fantastical creatures and beautifully bizarre places to explore. In Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath players are introduced to a whole new cast of loony characters and situations. Luckily, Lorne took the time to answer a few questions about his creations and what went into crafting this new adventure.
UGO: What is the mission statement for Oddworld? Presumably it's something more than just being "out there."
Lorne Lanning: Yeah, it's not just being "out there," it's being "in there." We want our characters to live in every living room. We believe games can be an experience for many people to enjoy together, and be entertained together. We want to share stories that live on in people's minds long after the final boss is eliminated… of course we're still going to give people a lot of bad guys to smack around along the way!
UGO: Why the decision to move away from the series' primary characters? Should this be considered a spin-off or part of the ongoing travails of Abe and Munch?
Lorne Lanning: We haven't exactly moved away from Abe and Munch, just put them on hiatus. There were a lot of things we wanted to accomplish within the games, and these new ideas seemed better suited for a whole new character. We've never thought of ourselves as "The Abe and Munch Company" but rather a place where a whole universe could be birthed, where many new species and characters, and their plights could be explored. Abe, Munch, and the Stranger are just the first settlers in the land of Odd. Oddworld Stranger's Wrath is a completely new story, new mechanics, and new gameplay style, but maintains the signature Oddworld visual style and integrity of our previous games.
UGO: Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath clearly has an Old West vibe. What were some of your influences when creating the characters and environments?
Lorne Lanning: Yes, the game starts out with a very western flavor. The early influences were certainly the old spaghetti westerns of Sergio Leone. The Man With No Name type character had a big impact on the design of the Stranger. We wanted him to have that same quiet badass quality. There's a mystique about that persona that's way cooler than your average guy-with-gun character.
UGO: Who would win in a gunfight, the Stranger or Clint Eastwood?
Lorne Lanning: Please! The Stranger's got a wrist mounted, double barreled crossbow with 9 live ammo types, a 180 degree melee attack move, and can ram at speeds up to 55 mph!!! You tell me…
UGO: The weapons in Stranger's Wrath are a little out there. Could you mention a few of your favorites and how you thought of them?
Lorne Lanning: We wanted to do a shooting mechanic, but, of course, with some kind of Oddworld twist. Something a little more interesting than just canceling NPCs. I liked the idea of the old westerns, where you encountered a "shoot out" versus just shooting…a prolonged battle that requires some stealth, some bait and trap tactics. The crossbow allowed us to have two types of ammo, and show those unique "live ammo" creatures simultaneously. The cool thing is, if the player wants to go in and shoot everything up anyway, they can. The team had a great time coming up with the ammo types and their hideous effects – especially the stunks, which induce horrendous vomiting in victims. We just wanted to have a lot of fun putting the outlaws through misery, as opposed to just killing them off. The crossbow was a lot of hard work, but also a lot of fun to design and implement, and then to actually use it…it's a blast.
UGO: The other star of the game seems to be the various bounties you'll go after. Could you describe one of the more complex and interesting bounty missions?
Lorne Lanning: Some of the missions require you to complete other tasks in order to move on, like securing passwords or rescuing locals to help you out. So there's a wide variety, you aren't just entering a place, shooting it up and moving on to the next place. One interesting bounty is for Flint Xplosives McGee. It takes you on an Indiana Jones-style mine cart ride through a gauntlet of outlaw fire, and ultimately to battle Xplosives at his hideout. The stranger must use aim and timing to get Xplosives off track and on a level playing field in order to take him out – taking fire the whole time. After bagging Xplosives, the stranger gets word about a dude called the Black Marketeer and the opportunity to get some, uh, unconventional upgrades.
UGO: Where do you see the Oddworld franchise going in five years?
Lorne Lanning: We'd like to see the franchise branch out and introduce some more scenarios with the same socio-political, dark humored content, and introduce some more characters and locations. We'd also like to bring back some previous characters, possibly in film.
UGO: What are you most proud of in Stranger's Wrath?
Lorne Lanning: I am most proud of the team that built it. I always have more ideas than there is time or money, and this crew really worked to get as much into the game as possible, and managed to make it fun to play and fun to work on, too.
UGO: Was there anything you simply had to cut because of time or feasibility issues that we might be seeing in the future of Oddworld? A little hint, maybe?
Lorne Lanning: Actually, from the original design doc to the manifestation of the game, we feel we came incredibly close. Of course we always wish for more time but rarely get it.
UGO: If you could have any one of the Stranger's powers, what would it be and why?
Lorne Lanning: The ability to run with the speed of a motorcycle, ram into whomever and whatever I want, and watch them fly. Yeah, I'd like to ram a couple of people.

incredulous – A person or something unable or unwilling to believe something. In relation to the context of the short story this occurs when the boy finds the deer being eating alive he confirms with himself over and over that it was not his fault. It was natures way and he should not interrupt it.
Vigilant – Keeping a careful watch for danger, the context for this is found when the boy is sleeping but his mind is watching all movements around him like a hawk.

Triumph – This means a great victory or achievement. The boy feels triumphant, hubris and even in control over mother nature.

Headroom in mastering is an important aspect, in fact it is probably the most important.
In this series of 'terms that you need to know' set of posts, we'll go ahead and talk through what they are and why they are important.
Put simply, Headroom is the space you've got left in your mix.
This is the special area that mastering engineers get to play with. The headroom aspect of your final mix is the most important, if you're getting it mastered. This is the same for mastering across the board, whether you're getting it mastered by a well equipped mastering studio, an engineer who dabbles in mastering or by artificial intelligence.
It's important that this headroom is kept, the more a mastering engineer has to play with, the more they can influence the track through mastering.
Make sure there is enough space and that the track isn't hitting just below 0dB on the meters. Keep it spacious, around 6-10 dB would be a good start.

Snack Review
Taste test: This chocolate bar promised to include peanuts, pretzels, salt and hot peppers! It's the first one we're aware of with that particular combination.
I unwrapped it to find that they went old-school with the wrapper, providing separate paper and foil layers. The bar had six dome-topped sections, decorated with a series of parallel lines running perpendicular to the bar.
I bit in to find that the pretzel and peanuts were broken down into very small pieces within the bar, so they added just a bit in the way of crunch. The taste was mainly milk chocolate initially, and I couldn't really specifically taste the pretzels or peanuts. But after a short delay, the chili peppers kicked in too, for a nice mix of hot and sweet. I could notice a hint of saltiness too from the pretzels, peanuts and salt. Those three extremes — sweet, hot and salty — really worked well together for a very different and good taste. The hot peppers stayed around for a nice lingering aftertaste. Very good!
Shop: Buy Pretzels on Amazon #ad
Smell test: I could smell the peppers a bit within the chocolate.
From the package: "Creamy milk chocolate blended with dry roasted peanuts, pretzels, a pinch of sea salt and a kick of Hatch chili" ... "Belgian milk chocolate 32% cacao" ... "Partially produced with genetic engineering"

Arrow Season 7 Episode 8 Review: UnmaskedBrandon Vieira at .
Are you freaking kidding me?
Olicity fans rejoice! After being apart for a majority of the season, Arrow Season 7 Episode 8 featured the reunion of Oliver and Felicity.
And for five sweet seconds, it was beautiful. Olicity may have a few haters, but for those of us who have ridden through the highs and lows of this 'ship, it seemed as though Olicity was finally going back to the way things used to be.
However, that tender love scene could potentially be the last time Oliver and Felicity get it on. Arrow threw a lot of curveballs on the last non-crossover episode of the Fall season, but that one had me shaking my head in utter disbelief.
Did Oliver and Felicity break up? WTF? That didn't just happen, did it? Olicity's supposed to be endgame, aren't they? Does love even exist? What did I just watch?
It wasn't going to be an easy adjustment for Oliver once he got out of Slabside, and Felicity has been slowly embracing a darker side of herself, but it seemed as though any marriage woes they'd eventually face wouldn't come until a while later.
Related: Arrow Season 7 Episode 7 Review: The Slabside Redemption
Yet, the husband and wife's relationship went from 100 to 0 real quick. First comes reunion sex then comes ... divorce? Or was Felicity merely asking for a Ross and Rachel "We were on a break" situation? Uh oh, is Oliver going to sleep with a copy girl on Arrow Season 7 Episode 9?
I might be overthinking this.
While the happiness shared between the two during their reunion tour was so quick that The Flash couldn't even keep up, it was nice while it lasted.
Max Fuller: Hey man, I know we've had some bad history...
Oliver: You had your bodyguards kick the crap out of me and Tommy at your club.
Max: Right, well you slept with my wife. Well, now my ex-wife. Dude, all of that is in the past, okay. Dude, you're the freaking Green Arrow.
Felicity: Well I'm Felicity, I'm the wife of the freaking Green Arrow. It sounded a little less strange in my head.
A dark, perhaps even villainous Felicity is an exciting prospect, but I'd hate to see her wit and awkward optimism disappear. Those characteristics are what made Felicity so special and such a breath of fresh air on Arrow Season 1 and Arrow Season 2.
At this point, especially with what was learned about her in the future on "Unmasked," Dark Felicity is a guarantee, but the sudden split from Oliver happened way too soon. The story arc of Arrow Season 7 so far has been told at a great pace, and I'm concerned they might rush Felicity's upcoming story.
Related: Arrow Season 7 Episode 5 Review: The Demon
That should not happen. Her journey to the darkness is one that needs to be told slowly and with reason.
I just hope not all is lost for Olicity.
Three-quarters of "Unmasked" felt like filler. A lot of time got spent building up to Oliver wearing the Green Arrow hood without the mask. It was a bit redundant. Everyone knows who he is, so it would be silly to wear the mask anyway.
I know it was supposed to be symbolic, but considering how intense and crazy Arrow Season 7 Episode 7 was, "Unmasked" was kind of a drag.
However, there were a few key moments that stood out, some of them good and some of them ... not so much.
The biggest twist was that Thea Queen isn't the only sister Oliver has out there. Robert Queen had another daughter who is perhaps under the Green Arrow 2.0 hood.
It was a twist I didn't see coming, which is a good thing, I guess, but hasn't the long-lost sibling story been done to death throughout the years?
Related: Get HBO via Prime Video Channels for Addictive Dramas, Hilarious Comedies & Hit Movies!
Factoring in the potential for time travel and travelers from other earths, there were many people who could have been under the hood for a number of reasons. Robert Queen's daughter that Oliver never knew about isn't the most appealing option.
Hey dad. Turns out Oliver's more like you then I thought. More like me too. But I'm giving up, not ever.Ms. Queen
If Arrow hadn't done the Oliver finds out he has a long-lost son story a couple of seasons ago, I may be more excited for the introduction of the new Queen. Yet, it feels a tad repetitive.
There's a small chance she isn't the new Green Arrow, but it would be hard to fathom any other reason she had for wearing the hood and holding the bow and arrow at the beginning of "Unmasked."
Related: Arrow Season 7 Episode 6 Review: Due Process
Another twist that left me with a sour taste in my mouth is that Diaz is alive. I'm not surprised that he's alive; I think almost everyone knew that was going to be the case.
However, finding out he's alive so soon seems like a big mistake. Sure, he's going to be working alongside Diggle and Lyla, and hopefully staying away from Oliver for a little while, but his return would've made more of an impact if we didn't just see him get faux-killed on the prior episode.
On a more positive note, I finally (sort of) understand what's going on in the flashforwards. Felicity is dead, but before she died, she had plans to do some awful, explosive crap.
Blackstar is Ronda Rousey's future daughter who potentially wants to continue Felicity's evildoing, and Rene is perhaps the most powerful man in the glades. Things really took a turn for Team Arrow in the future, huh? I guess friendship doesn't conquer all. That's depressing.
Rene's future in politics could be starting sooner than we think.
Rene: Rich folk and politicians fronting like they actually care about prison reform. If everyone in here actually gave a crap, they'd use that money to help people in hard-up neighborhoods who end up in the system because they don't have anything else...What?
Dinah: You ever think about running for office?
Running for mayor would be such a fun way to explore the different dynamics of Rene's character. The only concern I have is how the pure, wholesome agenda he'd most likely run on in the present timeline, would turn into such a dark and sinister one.
Why does it feel like everyone on Team Arrow becomes evil in the future?
Dinah: Well there is another option, we go to the Glades.
William: I thought we weren't welcome there.
Dinah: Well we're not, but she is.
Zoe: No. No way.
Dinah: Zoe, we don't know when or where this is going to happen right? And by the time we found out, it could be too late. I don't like the idea either but we need resources.
Zoe: I guess it's time to pay my dad a visit.
The icing on this upsidedown world cake would be if Laurel ended up being Star City's biggest hero.
I mean, if you ask me, she deserves way more praise than she gets.
Oh, and if anyone was concerned about what happened to Diggle at the end of "The Slabside Redemption," don't worry. #DiggleHasBeenFound
What did you think of "Unmasked"?
How did you feel about Oliver and Felicity's sudden (potential) breakup?
Do you think Oliver's long-lost sister is the new Green Arrow?
What do you think happened to Rene in the future? Do you think he'll run for mayor?

Whether you have misplaced your keys or forgotten them inside your apartment, it helps to have a relationship with a quality locksmith San Diego area. It helps to look for a local locksmith once you move into a new neighborhood rather than waiting until you find yourself dealing with an emergency. If you are having trouble locating a decent locksmith in your area, talk to friends and family members that live nearby and find out who they use. Here is an overview of how to hire a locksmith.
Find One Before You Need One
When you move into a new area, you will soon look for the nearest grocery stores, banks, post offices, and hospitals. However, you should not overlook the locksmith. Finding a local locksmith early on can payoff if you find yourself needing emergency services at some point down the line. The sooner you locate a locksmith in the area, the sooner you can begin building a positive relationship. In this case you will know exactly who to call if you lock yourself out of your car or your apartment, and you will have some idea of what kind of service to expect.
Stick With the Locals
Hiring a locksmith company that is based in your area is important for a number of reasons. The farther a locksmith is from your location, the farther he or she will have to drive; this will be reflected in your bill. Not only might a far away locksmith be more expensive, but it will also take longer to arrive. This can be problematic if you are dealing with an emergency. When you call an unknown locksmith from a few towns over you also run the risk of working with an illegitimate service.
Talk to Friends and Family
If you have friends or family members who live in your area, find out what company they use for a locksmith service. If they are happy with the service they receive, chances are that you will be happy with them as well. You can also look for local locksmiths online.

CHICAGO — The patient gown.
It seems simple enough—a garment someone being treated or cared for in a healthcare facility wears to offer covering, yet allow medical personnel access for tests and treatments.
It is what it is, isn't it? Well, no.
"The introduction of the HCAHPS patient satisfaction survey has put a focus on the patient experience in the healthcare setting," says Steve Berg, vice president of national healthcare accounts for ADI American Dawn in Los Angeles. "Patients and their families will now place a grade on their stay and their entire experience. These surveys will influence the reimbursement rates the healthcare facility receives.
"This relationship between patient experience and hospital earnings will allow an increase in quality for all goods associated with the patient, especially what she/he is wearing."
Teri Burke, senior product manager of patient apparel for Medline Industries Inc., says that studies show that upgraded linens greatly improve patient satisfaction during their stay at the hospital—and that includes the patient gown.
"Whether it's a simple X-ray or major surgery, one of a patient's first contact with a facility is the gown they wear," she says.
Burke goes on to say that healthcare customers not only want better material, but they are also looking to create gowns that show customization and branding as well. Custom designs and quality fabrics are powerful touch points. They can help attract and keep consumers by making their experience more comfortable, personal and caring.
"As the years have passed, we have listened to our consumers and have made changes for design and style, patient comfort, and patient privacy," says Sami Kahen of Royal Blue International, an importer and domestic manufacturer of institutional linen items in Los Angeles.
"Although there are a lot of gowns still around with the standard string closure, there have been advancements in patient privacy with new snap designs and larger sweep sized gowns to protect patient privacy with larger coverage."
New synthetic and synthetic-rich blend fabrics process differently than traditional cotton-blend fabrics, points out Berg.
"These new gown fabrics dry faster, wrinkle less and retain color better than their cotton-blend counterparts, but they aren't bullet-proof," he says.
Attention to proper sorting as well as adherence to manufacturer suggested care instructions (particularly drying) must be addressed to achieve peak performance, Berg shares.
"The move to synthetic and synthetic-rich fabrics should add up to easier processing, quicker drying and less energy use for laundries," says Joe Przepiorka, vice president of marketing for Encompass Group LLC. "The greater stain resistance of the new fabrics should lessen rewash and ragout amounts, as well."
Today's synthetic fabrics are also much more durable than a cotton-blended fabric, more stain resistant and more colorfast, he shares. This all adds up to less rewash, less ragout, less retirement due to color fades and higher use cycles.
"Today's gowns definitely last longer with the advent of microfiber patient gowns and 100% polyester gowns as opposed to the standard cotton-poly blend," Kahen says. "Of course, the fibers that compose these items are more expensive than standard cotton, so there needs to be a cost benefit analysis, but microfiber has been tested to last sometimes five to 10 times longer than the standard cotton/poly gown.
"The way they are made is the secret to the longevity of these items."
Chuck Rossmiller, director of laundry programs for Medline Industries Inc., says that gowns are heavier than they were previously, which means slightly longer processing times and some adjustment to how they're folded.
"The newest gown innovations are in the material being all-synthetic fibers, which are longer lasting and faster drying," he says. "Some facilities are treating gowns like uniforms—the gowns are hangered, steam tunnel finished and automatically folded. The quality and consistency of the finished product is substantially enhanced, and the automation reduces labor cost."
Rossmiller adds that as gowns have gotten larger, and heavier, they take up more space on carts and shelves.
"So, where a stack used to contain 18-20 gowns, it may now be 15," he points out. "Conversely, though, the larger, heavier gowns, with consistent prints, are leading to the use of fewer gowns as patients don't need to be double gowned to achieve an acceptable level of modesty."
Dan Schwartz, vice president of Fashion Seal Healthcare, part of the Superior Group of Companies, agrees that fabric technology has come a long way over the last decade, allowing patient gowns to have more endurance than they have in the past.
"Such advancements have allowed patient apparel suppliers to produce polyester-rich garments that have more durability, but are still able to maintain a soft fabric hand," he says. "Patients are comfortable in these garments, and due to the higher polyester content and printing techniques, gowns tend to last longer than cotton-rich sheeting gowns.
"From a visual standpoint, the synthetic fabrics will be more stain resistant than before, so the gowns will look cleaner longer. The colorfastness of the synthetic printing process will also allow for a brighter, newer look for longer."
This combination will offer a "new-looking" gown deeper into its life cycle, and a better presentation to the patient and staff, according to Przepiorka.
In addition to style, comfort and processing changes, he adds that the emergence of knit gowns and no-fold linen systems allow for unfolded gowns to be delivered in bags instead of stacked and folded on shelves.
"However, knit gowns are still a fraction of the overall market use, so this is more of an emerging trend to watch than a market shift," he cautions.
When it comes to the concern about achieving sanitary healthcare linens, manufacturers indicate that healthcare laundries do a good job no matter what fabric type or blend it used.
"There has been some controversy in the literature about which fabric blends (cotton vs. synthetic) 'hold' more microbes after processing," says Przepiorka. "Our position is that if either blend is properly processed to a hygienic state, this discussion is moot."
"Like synthetic uniforms, cotton and cotton blended materials have shown to harbor more bacteria, particularly from skin shed from the users," adds Rossmiller. "All synthetic products improve the wash process time, withstand the commercial process better, maintain the color, size and shape, making them more consistently clean.
"Certified healthcare laundry providers will consistently achieve hygienically clean products regardless of the type of material."

I've known of Toni Collins, the subject of my second profile published in Harness Magazine (read it here), for a while. Anyone who watches ESPN is likely to have spotted her, either hosting SportsCenter or filing reports for other shows, reporting on playoff games for any number of sports, etc. My first interaction with her, save the odd like of a Twitter post or something, took place in March 2017.
I've written about the Pittsburgh Pirates for the site Pirates Breakdown for a few years now. My specialty is longform features. That March, I was working on a story about Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco, who teamed up with the organization Food for the Hungry for an initiative called Striking Out Poverty. The goal is to raise money to bring basic life necessities (food, running water, etc.) to nine of the poorest communities in the Dominican Republic using baseball – a beloved sport in the country – and major league players. Polanco hails from the Dominican – and in fact, was born in one of the targeted villages. He posted photos of his visit, which took place in February, on Instagram and so I started piecing together the article.
As I was talking to organizers of the effort – Milam Byers of Food for the Hungry and the Striking Out Poverty Global Ambassador Roberto Clemente Jr. (son of baseball legend and humanitarian Roberto Clemente) – they mentioned that a reporter from ESPN happened upon their relief visit in the Dominican and was working on a story about the program. That reporter was Toni Collins.
I reached out to her on Twitter to see if I might use a few of the photos she shared on her Instagram feed as they were lovely and featured Polanco. Now, it's important to note that our stories were going to come out at about the same time. Mine on a small, but growing at the time, fan-run blogsite that reached about 200,000 people a month. And hers on SportsCenter on ESPN. She had been in the Dominican Republic with Polcanco, his teammate Starling Marte, and other MLB players while they were visiting the villages impacted by the effort. She obviously had the better story. And it would have been easy for a person in her position to ignore a person in mine. But she didn't.
Not only did she share her images with me, but images that amazing photographer and traveler Daniel C. White shared with her. They were beautiful and raw and joyful and were the perfect complement to my words.
(Ironically, when we moved the story – which you can read here – to a new platform in 2018, the photos didn't transfer.)
View this post on Instagram
Thank you so much @food4thehungry @strikingoutpoverty for allowing us to be part of this day. It was a true privilege to meet these young men and their mentors who inspire them to follow their dreams, be men of character and one day play ball in the big leagues⚾🙌🏼🇩🇴 @gd_ramirez @milambyers @muddamalle @bethjoyful @jomartinezg @mlb #ElTamarindo
During our initial exchange, I thanked her for representing women in sports media so well. She replied, "Thank you for your kind words…you too, my friend."
I'm sure she doesn't even remember the Twitter conversation, but to me, it was as impactful as the moment my eighth grade English teacher called me at home after reading a story I'd turned in and gushing about my writing. Me? A woman in sports media?
After my story ran, in which I linked to hers on the ESPN site, she contacted me and thanked me for spreading the word on the Striking Out Poverty Campaign. Wait? I thought people were supposed to compete over stories? You can do work covering the same topic and support each other? What a novel concept! Of course, I knew that, in theory, but it was rare as a daily newspaper reporter or magazine writer or sports blogger to see people actually do it.
Toni is not only nice, but she's a journalist's journalist. She may wear beautiful dresses and heels on set at ESPN, but she's not afraid to suit up for a story. Sometimes that means putting on cleats and shin guards to workout with any number of professional soccer teams (as a former player for the Mexico National U-19 Team she's somewhat in her element in that environment), kicking off the heels to challenge the boys to a few futbol drills on camera, or running the camera herself while standing in a field near the Rio Grande River to capture a border control bust.
She also has the greatest mentor, her mother, Maria Collins. She is a multiple-Emmy award-winning, multi-book-writing, journalist with a career that spans 40 years and won her an Edward R. Murrow Award. Toni effusively celebrates her mother and respects her as both giver-of-life and seasoned reporter. How can you not love that kind of family tradition?!
Maria also serves as her wardrobe consultant. Toni unashamedly admits she is hopeless when it comes to "girly" things like fashion and make-up. She gratefully acknowledges the ESPN glam squad almost daily and is the reigning queen of the "fresh-faced" selfie. It is beyond refreshing to know that we're not lacking something as women if we can't get our brows perfectly symmetrical or master contouring. Toni is gorgeous, make-up or no, but she makes sure that everyone knows it takes work and skills (that she doesn't have) to get that polished on-set look.
Toni's social media feed is an awesome mix of stories she's working on, her rescue dogs, evenings out with her friends in New York City, throwbacks from past jobs, love for her mom and family, and promotion for causes to which she is devoted. A July 19 post featuring a letter from Estiben, a young boy she sponsors through Striking Out Poverty, is especially heartwarming. And in the end, that's why she brings me Light and Love on social media. She puts her heart into everything she does, while never failing to show that she has a heart.

Merry Christmas, Chairman Mao!
The seemingly only thing Chairman Mao and Santa Claus have in common is an infatuation with the colour red. After all, only a short time ago Ye Olde Saint Nick and his merry elves would have been attacked as counterrevolutionaries and agents of Western Imperialism in Communist China. But change is now fast afoot in China.
From Urumqi, Gustaf Mannerheim travelled over the Bogda Shan range to the ancient ruined cities scattered in the Turpan Depression. He spent time collecting manuscript fragments and other ancient scraps at the ruins of Jiaohe and Gaocheng, and visited the Buddhist caves at Bezeklik in the Flaming Mountains and in a gorge behind the Uyghur village of Toyuk. He then continued on to the eastern part of Xinjiang, visiting Barkol and Hami before crossing the border into Gansu Province. In Gansu, his first significant stop was Dunhuang, an ancient crossroads on the Silk Road.

Labrang: Stoned In 1906, the Chief of the Russian General Staff instructed Gustaf Mannerheim to "assess general conditions and local attitudes to Chinese policies, the political movements in regions or in local tribes toward self-government, [and] the role of the Dalai Lama in such movements."

Lanzhou: The Chinese Renaissance In 1907, Lanzhou was still an archaic outpost whose fortified clay walls ran for two kilometres along the Yellow River.

HARRISBURG — The CWC Boys team continued their strong start with a convincing win over Harrisburg at the Shawnee Hills Country Club on Tuesday, while the young Girls team showed improvement in their stroke average in their second match.
Boys (2,978 yds., Par 36): CWC 152, Harrisburg 189
Freshman Oakley Gee led the way with a 3-under par 33. He was even par through the first five holes, before putting his second shot on the Par 5 sixth to within 7 feet and converting the eagle putt. He followed that up with a wedge to within three feet for a birdie on the Par 4 seventh.
Standing on the Par 5 ninth tee at 3-under Gee had a chance to go really low, but a drive into the tree line and an indifferent wedge shot on his approach left him with a two-putt par for his 33.
Veterans Ty Barbre and August Saunders came in at 38 and 40 respectively, and it was Alex O'Daniel who posted the fourth score this time (41) despite struggles on the ninth hole.
CWC scores: Oakley Gee 33, Ty Barbre 38, August Saunders 40, Alex O'Daniel 41, Kaden Carter 45, KaCee Fulkerson 45.
Harrisburg: Ashton Hall 43, Andrew Bittle 44, Krayton Morse 51, Ben Brombaugh 51, Clay Brigham, 66, Gabe Smothers 64.
Girls (2,295 yds., Par 36): Hamilton Co. 186, CWC 214
Veterans Allie Gee and Issie Bryant led the way again for the Girls team, with Gee missing out on Medalist honors by just one stroke.
CWC scores: Allie Gee 42, Issie Bryant 51, Macey Heil 60, Katie Deig 61, Elleigh Gray 64, Madison Wilson 65.
Harrisburg: Madison McClusky 41, Gabby Adams 45, Madeline Deneal 48, Alli Ferrrell 52, Gracie Behnke 54, Anabelle Robinson 57.

Clearwater Motorcyclist Injured in Hit-And-Run
A Clearwater motorcyclist was injured Friday night when a car pulled in front of him, deputies said. Gregory Conklin, 52, of 2134 Bradford St., was thrown 30 feet from his 1991 Harley-Davidson about 11:30 p.m. at Fisher and Curlew roads. He was not wearing a helmet, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said. Conklin was in good condition tonight at St. Joseph's Hospital, a hospital spokesman said. Investigator said a 2007 Pontiac G-5 made a U-turn in front of Conklin. The driver, Lajune B. Castro, 60, of 2500 Winding Creek Blvd. in Clearwater, left the scene but was later found in a parking lot at U.S. 19 and Curlew Road, deputies said. Castro wasn't injured. The crash remains under investigation.Posted By The Fran Haasch Law Group Categories:

Key Points
*Rare, benign epithelial skin tumor
*Exact cause is unknown
*Consists of a raised, shiny dome or nodule, commonly red, with scaling around the edges
Clear cell acanthoma is a very rare benign skin tumor, epithelial in nature. It generally consists of a solitary lesion, but in rare cases multiple lesions may occur. Clear cell acanthoma consists of a raised, shiny dome or nodule, usually occurring on the lower legs. The lesion can be of pink to brown color variation, but is usually a dark red. Lesions can be anywhere from 3-20mm in size, and will develop scaling around the edges.
The cause of Clear cell acanthoma is unknown, and the condition is very rare. It occurs generally in middle-aged and older adults, and affects both genders equally.
Differential Diagnosis (Other conditions with similar appearance)
Inflamed seborrheic keratosis
Pyogenic granuloma
Basal cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinom
Verruca vulgaris
Key Points
*Initial diagnosis based on lesion appearance
*Skin biopsy must be performed to confirm diagnosis and rule out other, similar appearing conditions
Clear cell acanthoma is usually initially diagnosed based on the initial appearance of the lesion, at which time health care professionals will perform Skin biopsy to determine if the lesion is benign, or if it is a similar appearing cancerous condition.
*As the lesion is benign, no treatment is necessary
*Lesions can be easily excised
Clear cell acanthoma is benign, and thus no treatment is required. However, if bleeding from trauma or cosmetic concerns become an issue, the lesion is easily excised via surgical procedure.

[Resolved] Zoom Car — No help from Zoom for 4 hours on the highway after a breakdown. Instead charged for 5k for vehicle damages.
10 Reviews
Bangalore South, Karnataka, India
After seeing/hearing several good reviews on Zoom from friends and relatives I decided to make my first reservation. But it turned out to be a nightmare.
I booked XUV from 05:00 AM 12 May 2016 to 11:00 PM 14 May. My BOOKING ID is JPS6VUSB0. I paid a total of 18590 INR including 5000 as the security deposit. We started to OOTY at 5:45 am on 12th May with kids, wife and elderly parents. After travelling 200 kilometers the vechicle started showing signs of bad clutch. The clutch pedal will not raise off the floor. The hydraulics to the clutch stopped working. It looked like the master cylinder has gone out. This happenned exactly in front of Gudlupet government bus stand at 10 am.
The response from Zoom customer care was not prompt. After making several calls to customer care, they registered a complain for the break down and informed us that Mahindra Road Side Assitance (RSA) will pick up the vehicle and tow it for repair. The complain number provided was 75046. Zoom did not offer any alternate vechicle for our trip though I mentioned that I have made hotel reservations in OOTY. Instead they suggested to make our own taxi reservations for the trip. They also said,
1) The amount paid for the remaining hours would be refunded.
2) That Mahindra would provide a taxi for one way drop to our destination OOTY out of which first 50 km would be free.
3) The amount for the taxi would be refunded.
Later a Mahindra RSA calls me around 12 pm and informs that the towing truck along with a custody person had been arranged and that they would be providing the taxi to our destination OOTY. After some time the 3rd party taxi operator arranged by Mahindra called me and said that we would have to pay a 2-way charge for the trip to OOTY and the car would be sent from Mysore which is 50 km away from Gundlupet. I was not ready for this option since we had to pay for 2 way and moreover we have no car for site seeing in OOTY. The hotel I booked was outside the city and a car is an absolute requirement. So I asked them not to make a taxi reservation.
Finally the custody person Sameer arrives at 1:45 pm.He inspected the vechicle and said that this was a hydralic failure and could also happen to the a brand new car and there was no fault of mine. We handed over the vechicle at 2 pm after some documentation. So I was stuck in Gundlupet for 4 hours. I had to make my own transport arrangements which costed me a heavily.
When I called the customer care on 15th May at 7:45 am they mentioned that INR 5OOO from my account has been deducted towards vechicle damages. When I asked the reason, they did not know why and said they would register a complain and that I would receive a call within an hour. The number given was 185382. They did not mention anything about refunding the remaining amount.
I am still waiting to hear back from Zoom.
Complaint marked as Resolved May 26, 2016
Zoomcar has finally refunded my booking amount, including the deposit and the fuel bills. The confirmation call was made from 08067481900 before the transaction initiated.
The resolution took 2 weeks and I had to make several calls to their customer service number (080-60009000) and follow up with them continuously for 1 week before they mentioned that the entire amount would be refunded.
The thing I didn't about their customer service is that they don't maintain the case history properly and I needed to detail the incident and the previous status each time. They kept saying that the refund had been initiated for almost a week. If they were to give me the correct timeline for the refund, I wouldn't bother calling them every alternate day.
Thanks to consumercomplaints.in for offering this platform.
Complaint Status
[May 15, 2016] Zoom Car customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
Verified SupportZoom Car Customer Care's response, Jan 04, 2017
Hello Chandrasekhar, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused during your reservation and for the delay in offering the resolution. We believe that you have received all needed information regarding the issue and have also got the refund. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

text: I was made aware by an online friend a few years ago about this substance and have always been wary of it since. The way that my mind works is that I always treat new information with complete scepticism when it is controversial like this, so at first I dismissed him almost entirely. But over the past few years I did look in to it a little more and came to the conclusion that it is relatively safe in low quantities. However, I have just happened across the article in the link below and its piqued my interest on the topic again. https://www.healthy-holistic-living...8Uy6aJNaB6zh9tzPJKPLEukj7sMbbIULIZsggKbjMHN24 Is this stuff dangerous, should I be getting it out of my house and away from my children ?

Universal Corporation Announces Agreement with Philip Morris International Inc. to Supply U.S. Tobaccos
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — George C. Freeman, III, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Corporation (NYSE:UVV) ("Universal"), announced today that the Company's subsidiary, Universal Leaf North America U.S., Inc. ("ULNA") will increase its direct purchases of flue-cured and burley tobaccos, expanding its support of United States tobacco growers, as part of a new leaf supply agreement with Philip Morris International Inc. ("PMI"). PMI's decision to adopt a new leaf buying model for their U.S. leaf purchasing operations, announced separately today, provides for a transition from a direct farmer contracting model to purchasing processed grades of tobaccos through two global leaf suppliers in the United States. The transition is expected to provide important supply chain efficiencies and is indicative of PMI's and Universal's strong commitment to the grower communities and PMI's intent to remain a major purchaser of U.S.-grown leaf tobacco. The change will be effective for the 2015 crop and will include the assignment of certain grower contracts and use of receiving station operations.
Mr. Freeman stated, "We are very excited about this opportunity to meet the evolving needs of one of our longstanding global business partners, while broadening our leaf purchasing and grower support activities in the United States. As the global leader in the supply of leaf tobacco, we are well positioned to continue our support of Good Agricultural Practices, and are committed to the expansion of the Agricultural Labor Practices code ("ALP") across our full U.S. grower base. ALP is designed to further our corporate goals and the goals of our customers' of progressively addressing and eliminating concerns found in agriculture with child and other labor issues, and achieving safe and fair working conditions on all farms from which we source tobacco."
Clayton G. Frazier, President of ULNA, added, "The expansion of direct contracting by Universal will provide procurement synergies and economies of scale and will promote efficient leaf utilization of packed grades of U.S. tobaccos supplied to PMI and our other customers. In addition, we look forward to expanding our relationships and services to further strengthen our grower communities. These positive developments, in conjunction with our recently announced entry into the sweet potato juicing and dehydration business, Carolina Innovative Food Ingredients, Inc., illustrate the continued strong commitment of Universal to tobacco growers in the United States. The production of sweet potatoes provides many tobacco farmers with an important and economically viable crop grown in rotation with tobacco."
Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Universal Corporation is the leading global leaf tobacco supplier and conducts business in more than 30 countries. Its revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, were $2.5 billion. For more information on Universal Corporation, visit its website at www.universalcorp.com.

Floating point Data types in Go lang
As we have discussed, In our previous article Data types in go lang, In Go lang Numbers can be categorized into two broad categories.
- Integral Numbers
- Floating point Numbers
We have already discussed integral numbers In this article we will discuss all floating point numbers.
Floating point Numbers
Floating point numbers are those which contains decimal places, for example (2.34 , -90.435 , 0.00007)
Rules for floating point numbers
- Floating point number can contain decimal places, For example (0.006, 2.45)
- Can be +ve and -ve.
- Floating point number can be written in two formats
- Fixed format, example (0.007)
- Exponent format, example (0.7 E -4)
- 0.7 E -4 is equivalent to 0.7 * 10 <sup>-4</sup>
- In 0.7 E -4, 0.7 (part before e) is called mantissa and -4 (part after E) is called exponent.
- Exponent format is used when a number is too large or too small to represent in decimal places.
- Floating point number can be of 32bits or 64bits in size in go lang.
- float32 represents 32 bits floating point numbers also called single precision. It allows maximum 6-7 digits of precision(number of digits after decimal point).
- float64 represents 64 bits floating point numbers also called double precision. It allows 14-17 digits precision(number of digits after decimal point)
- floating points numbers includes some constant values for undefined results as given below with examples.
- 1.0/0 results +INF
- -1.0/0 results -INF
- Along with the floating point, numbers go also allows a data type for storing complex numbers like 2 + 3i, where 3 is an imaginary number.
- For representing complex number complex64 (real float32 , img float32) and complex128 (real float64, img float64) are given.
- In complex64 real number is of type float32 and the imaginary part is also float32 so it occupies 64 bits in memory similarly in the complex128 real and imaginary part of size float64.
So if we finally conclude this article then we can say that floating data types includes four data types in go lang to work with floating numbers which are listed here.
- float32
- float64
- complex64
- complex128

The Prettiest Mother In The World
Author: Peggi_Skye
Her face is no longer smooth,
it is lined by time.
Even if she doesn't look the same,
she is still that dear mother of mine.
She has always given of herself to me,
nothing was I ever denied.
She laughed when I laughed,
she comforted me when I cried.
There is no one like her,
I don't think there will ever be.
No one means as much to me,
as she.
To me, it doesn't matter what she looks like,
I guess it is a matter of pride.
For the things that make her the most beautiful,
are the things she has inside.
------- Author's Notes -------
I wrote this particular poem in 1992, when my mother was going in the hospital for cancer surgery. It is a really a special poem.
Comments on this poem/writing:

Country: Kenya • Medium: Mixed Media
Kamicha has done a series of works using Khangas (women's traditional wraps) as canvas. He paints and draws around the traditional motifs on the material making the background become part of the finished piece.
Through this technique he brings the act of painting closer to his own culture and experience.
Those familiar with his work can see a crystallisation of his talents over the last year and his recent work is very exciting and holds promise of a lot more to come.
