VAUGHAN, HERBERT (1832-1903), cardinal and archbishop of Westminster, was born at Gloucester on the 15th of April 1832, the eldest son of lieutenant-colonel John Francis Vaughan, head of an old Roman Catholic family, the Vaughans of Courtfield, Herefordshire. His mother, a daughter of John Rolls of The Hendre, Monmouthshire, was intensely religious; and all the daughters of the family entered convents, while six of the eight sons took priest's orders, three of them rising to the episcopate, Roger becoming archbishop of Sydney, and John bishop of Sebastopolis. Herbert spent six years at Stonyhurst, and was then sent to study with the Benedictines at Downside, near Bath, and subsequently at the Jesuit school of Brugelette, Belgium, which was afterwards removed to Paris. In 1851 he went to Rome. After two years of study at the Accademia dei nobili ecclesiastici, where he became a friend and disciple of Manning, he took priest's order's at Lucca in 1854. On his return to England he became for a period
vice-president of St Edmund's College, Ware, at that time the chief seminary for candidates for the priesthood in the south of England. Since childhood he had been filled with zeal for foreign missions, and he conceived the determination to found a great English missionary college to fit young priests for the work of evangelizing the heathen. With this object he made a great begging expedition to America in 1863, from which he returned with £11,000. St Joseph's Foreign Missionary College, Mill Hill Park, London, was opened in 1869. Vaughan also became proprietor of the Tablet, and used its columns vigorously for propagandist purposes. In 1872 he was con- secrated bishop of Salford, and in 1892 succeeded Manning as archbishop of Westminster, receiving the cardinal's hat in 1893. Vaughan was a man of very different type from his predecessor; he had none of Manning's intellectual finesse or his ardour in social reform, but he was an ecclesiastic of remarkably fine presence and aristocratic leanings, inlransigeant in theological policy, and in personal character simply devout.
It was his most cherished ambition to see before he died an adequate Roman Catholic cathedral in Westminster, and he laboured untiringly to secure subscriptions, with the result that its foundation stone was laid in 1895, and that when he died, on the 19th of June 1903, the building was so far complete that a Requiem Mass was said there over his body before it was removed to its resting-place at Mill Hill Park.

You feel a dull pain in your tooth and dismiss it thinking it will go away. Don't wait to visit a dentist! Aching teeth are not normal, and with time, the pain often gets worse, not better! That throbbing tooth can be more than the sign of a cavity- it could mean infection. It's important to diagnose the source of your discomfort immediately.
We know the reputation that root canals have, but the simple truth is your tooth is causing the pain. Root canal therapy is designed to stop infection, ease your pain, and restore health to your tooth and your smile. Modern dentistry allows us to make you quite comfortable and treat your tooth quickly, so you can get back to your normal activities as soon as possible.
Drs. Warwick and Warwick will first prepare your tooth and remove the compromised pulp. As tissue and debris is removed, bacteria and infection are removed as well thoroughly cleaning your tooth. We'll seal your tooth with a biologically inert material and place a crown to complete the restoration.
Enjoy a fusion of high-tech and high-touch at Warwick Dentistry. Dr. John Warwick and Dr. Joyce Warwick provide general and cosmetic dentistry in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh.

Before starting the article, let us have a look at what the urban dictionary defines superheroes as:
(n) superhero: A being with extraordinary physical or mental powers, far beyond the range of normal human ability, who uses these powers to protect the innocent and for the general good.
In the last decade, since the release of Christopher Nolan's Batman film, 'The Dark Knight' there has been an influx of superhero movies in Hollywood. The craze was always there, there were a number of superhero films starring A-listers but 'The Dark Knight' was a game changer. This movie brought the BO money and the biggest reason being, who can ever forget Heath Ledger's portrayal of 'The Joker' in the film. Heath's Joker is the benchmark set by many actors when it comes to playing a negative character today. Thus, post the success of 'The Dark Knight', it started the biggest franchise war of DC VS Marvel in the history of cinema. Yes, we do have superhero movies, NOT from Marvel Or DC. That's the reason we have seen a plethora of big Superhero films releasing every now and then.
So, the biggest question mark is where or to be precise why is Indian Cinema or Bollywood lagging behind in terms of a genuine and a legit superhero films? We do have superheroes like Doga, Nagraj, Parmanu and the list goes on but we have failed to bring these characters alive in our cinema. It is said that a superhero film needs a hell lot of budget and a great CGI. The question is if India can make those dragons we have adored in the popular Game of Throne series, or the tiger from Life of Pi, then why when it comes to the superhero film we make excuses of CGI? We have seen some great attempts on the genre by the likes of Shekhar Kapur, Rakesh Roshan and one of the biggest superstar of the country SRK himself. Some of the superhero films have even clicked with the audience big time, yet the energy invested is half-hearted.
So who will be the game changer in this genre in our cinema? Who will make the superhero genre look cool and make it a trend in our cinema? Let's go down the memory lane and check out some of the attempts (good, bad, average and everything) made by Indian filmmakers in the superhero genre:
1) Mr. India (1987): The iconic film directed by Shekhar Kapur was an instant hit. Who can forget Amrish puri's famous dialogue, "Mogambo Khush Hua", or Sridevi seductive dance move in the song "I love you" or the innocent girl who dies in a bomb blast which opened the teary floodgate amongst the viewers?
The protagonist of the film Anil Kapoor who played the role of Arun Verma comes across a device created by his scientist father. The device would make its user invisible. With the help of the device, Arun Verma creates havoc in Mogambo's den.
2) Superman (1987): Yes, you read that right. It is not a dubbed version of Hollywood or any other wood's film, but an attempt by B. Gupta (apne ko bhi nehi pata kaun hain) to introduce Puneet Issar as Shekhar alias Superman. Let's just leave it there and move ahead. Skip number 2 (pun intended) for now, will cover this again.
3) Alag (2006): As the title suggest the film was actually alag (different) from what Bollywood had churned in the past. The film helmed by Ashu Trikha and starring Akshay Kapoor and Dia Mirza is a story of an orphan boy named Tejas. Tejas who has spent all his childhood in isolation, in the basement of the house to be precise, shows the sign of telekinesis. The film is about how scientist wants to exploit Tejas' superpower by attempting various scientific experiments on his body.
4) Krrish: The father and son duo of Rakesh Roshan & Hrithik Roshan introduced Krrish aka Krishna in the summer of 2006. Hrithik's Krrish is the first genuine superhero of Indian cinema. In fact, we even got a sequel to the film back in 2013 titled Krrish 3. We are hoping to see more from the franchise in the coming years, and up their ante and challenge the production quality of Hollywood counterparts.
5) Superman of Malegaon (2008): This is a documentary on an actual film from Malegaon Film Community (let's just call it Malewood {Oopsy!}) titled 'Yeh Hai Malegaon Ka Superman'. The documentary shows the making of the actual film, mixed by interviews and bytes of directors, actors and the audience from the region. Clearly, the one and only superhero who is skinny thin, and chews gutkha. This is aeon from Hollywood or any other film industry standard, but it has the right amount of dose to make you rofl, lmao and LOL.
6) Drona (2008): My heartfelt apologies for mentioning this film on this list. Let's just say Goldie Behl wanted to make a film with his childhood friend Abhishek Bachchan, and they made this film as childishly possible as one can imagine. So let's do number 6 once again.
6 (2.0) Ra.One (2011): Shah Rukh Khan's dream project directed by Anubhav (experience??? really?) Sinha, and starring King Khan himself, alongside, Arjun Rampal, Kareena Kapoor, and Armaan Verma. The film is based on gaming characters of Ra.One & G.One, and how these two characters come out of the virtual world, and the baddie Ra.One who wants to kill a player by the name of Lucifer, who almost defeated him but quit the game midway.
Special mention: Number 2 is back in the form of Flying Jatt (2016). This superhero flick starring Indian Michael Jackson (not Prabhu Deva)- Tiger Shroff, is directed by another Michael Jackson (TV reality show wala host)- Remo D'Souza. The film also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, and former WWE superstar, Nathan Jones, cast as Raka, who is the nemesis of Flying Jatt.
Enough of Bollywood, let's move on to the regional cinema and check out what we have at our disposal.
7) Velayudham (2011): This Tamil superhit film directed by M. Raja's starred Vijay, Genelia D'Souza, Hansika Motwani, Abhimanyu Singh, Saranya Mohan, Santhanam, Soori, and Vineet Kumar. Though this is a superhero film, the plot is something we have seen 'n' number of times in Hindi and other regional movies. The plot revolves around Vijay's character named Velayudham who gives life to a fictional superhero character created by a journalist played by Genelia, to instil fear amongst the corrupt politicians.
8) Mugamoodi (2012): Mysskin's take on a superhero film gave us a film which is a concoction of martial arts and superhero power. Starring Jiiva, Narain, Pooja Hegde (remember the Mohenjo Daro girl), Nassar, and Selva. Jiiva plays the roles of Anandan alias Bruce Lee, who falls in love with Pooja Hegde's character Shakthi. In an attempt to impress his ladylove by donning a superhero costume, Bruce Lee aka Anandan falls in a trap when the Shakthi's police commissioner father is shot dead by goons and the blames falls on Anandan aka Bruce Lee (too confusing). The rest of the film revolves around how our hero tries to clear his name from the blame to achieve the fame (read the ladylove).
9) Baji (2015): The first ever Marathi Superhero film is directed by Nikhil Mahajan and starring Shreyas Talpade, Amruta Khanvilkar, and Jitendra Joshi. The action-packed vigilante film is based on a legend of a man who took upon himself to fight for injustice and oppression and protect the common man.
10) Super Singh (2017): The Diljit Dosanjh starrer film is unlike any other superhero film made in India. It is intentionally funny (in parts) and over the top. The film's production value will make you cringe in those special effects & CGI parts, but Diljit just like his superhero avatar, end up playing his part to perfection and helps the audience and the makers.
Now, the big reveal on why this article/listicle is formatted in the first place. Ever since Vikramaditya Motwane's Bhavesh Joshi's teaser was released, social media has been buzzing about this film might just be the one to change the landscape of superhero film in India. The film's teaser looks inspired yet very promising. Starring Harshvardhan Kapoor (Mr India's son), the teaser looks intriguing from the first frame itself and look every bit a legit superhero film that we as a nation deserves. Being the land of millions of deities, who have their own superhero power, we do need a Batman or a Superman or an Ironman of our own. Other than Doga, Nagraj and few more names mentioned earlier, we also have Shaktimaan and Hanuman, but no filmmaker is technically making a feature film on those two characters or any characters we have known all our lives.
N.B. A biography on Salman won't be counted as a superhero film ever.

Myntra revenue shrunk by 80% to ₹427 crore in FY182 min read . Updated: 08 Jan 2019, 10:03 PM IST
Myntra reported a net loss of 151.20 crore in FY18a 76% drop from 627.70 crore loss reported in FY17
Myntra reported a net loss of 151.20 crore in FY18a 76% drop from 627.70 crore loss reported in FY17
New Delhi: Myntra Designs Pvt. Ltd, the holding company of online fashion retailer Myntra, reported a net loss of ₹ 151.20 crore in 2017-18 (FY18)—a 76% drop from ₹ 627.70 crore loss reported in FY17, documents filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) showed.
Myntra also posted an 80% drop in revenue FY18 as a big chunk of its sales were moved to a new entity that was formed after its acquisition of rival Jabong in 2016. The revenue slump was also attributed to reduction in dependence on a few large sellers.
Myntra Designs reported sales of ₹ 427.74 crore in FY18, according to RoC documents and data sourced from Tofler and Paper.VC. It had reported revenue of ₹ 2,038.10 crore in the year-ago period.
According to the RoC documents filed in December, Vector E-Commerce, Myntra's largest seller until early- to mid-2017, saw its revenue fall by over 90% in the year ended 31 March 2018.
Total expenses reduced significantly during FY18 due to a fall in purchase of stock and reduction of inventory, the RoC documents showed. Myntra's total expenses stood at ₹ 926 crore in FY18 compared to ₹ 2,667 crore in the year-ago period.
"These data points are partial and doesn't give the entire picture of the company. Myntra and Jabong continue to grow at a healthy rate with a firm focus on delivering the best of fashion and lifestyle for our customers," said a Myntra spokeswoman, when contacted.
"We are moving forward in our strategic direction as per plan and remain committed to adding value to our customers and brand partners by transforming fashion e-commerce in the country," she added.
Large online retailers, such as Walmart-controlled Flipkart and Amazon India, have been gradually reducing their dependence on a few large sellers since FDI regulations in 2016 mandated e-commerce marketplaces were not allowed to get more than 25% of their overall sales from one single seller entity. Since then, e-commerce firms have created complex structures to get around those regulations.
Flipkart-owned Myntra is betting heavily on it's three-year-old private label business for higher margins. It is also planning to expand its offline presence from 12 stores to 200 in the next two years, Mint had reported in August.
Myntra's private label business accounts for more than 25% of its business and boasts of brands such as Roadster, HRX and Moda Rapido, among others.
In 2018, Myntra's sales jumped 87% to ₹ 2,038 crore from ₹ 1068 crore a year earlier.
Over the past few years, Myntra has grown fast, pulling ahead of rivals in online fashion retail. It touched an annual run rate of $2 billion in terms of gross merchandise value ( GMV), Mint reported last year in August.

Slant Screen Separator
Effective material waste handling is a challenge for industries all over the world, and a host of advanced equipment is available for safe and environmentally conscious material waste handling solutions. CTM Systems Inc., a leading choice for trim removal and material waste handling, can provide the right equipment for any size job.
There are two primary types of trim removal systems: venturi based systems and cutter fan systems. Venturi based pneumatic conveying systems have several advantages over other systems. They offer a quick simple and cost-effective solution for different scale operations. Because the system driving fan is the only moving part, cyclones are virtually maintenance free. They are designed for mobility and can be moved from machine to machine, and are adaptable to different system volumes. As an added benefit, venturi based systems require little air separation. Cutter fan systems are intended for larger operations and will require more air separation equipment and planning, but may be a more cost effective for long term production.
There are three types of air separation equipment, all with different capacities, benefits, and limitations. Relief head air separation is the most cost effective solution for small scale operations. They employ a perforated box, straight duct, or elbow configuration to gather trim material, allowing air to freely vent out from the container. A cyclone employs a venturi, funnels material downward through a conical chamber, and allows air to vent upward. The relatively new slant screen type, delivering a smaller unit size with greater material handling capacity, drops material into a slanted vessel. Air can then be vented through the slant screen and undergo anther filtration before being recirculated.
In addition to the advanced equipment CTM provides, we offer comprehensive material waste handling services such as engineering studies, start up assistance, installations, troubleshooting, retrofitting and cutter knife resharpening.
CTM Systems Inc., is the best source for material waste handling solutions, and supplies the best trim removal system and air separation equipment for your material waste handling needs.

Larger leaks or a mix of little leaks can typically be discovered by your water meter. Using your water meter you can perform a simple leak consult the following steps:
1. Make sure all water is turned off inside and outside the house. This test should be carried out when no automatic water devices is made use of, such as irrigation controllers, clothes washers, dishwashers, and so on
2. Write down the reading of the water meter, and wait 15 minutes. Be specific no one utilizes any water throughout this time.
3. Write down the reading of the meter once more. If the meter has actually recorded water use throughout the test, it could be due to a leak. Confirm that the water use is not due to little devices such as water filters, water softeners, or whole home humidifiers.
The meter test only confirms large leaks. Utilizing this test you can not confirm that small leaks do not exist within the home. Even when leaks are found, this test does not suggest the location of the leaks. More examination is had to find and find all considerable leaks.
Water Supply Line Leaks
There are often leaks in between the meter and the house, in the supply of water line. These leaks are commonly hard to discover due to the fact that the supply pipe is normally buried at least 3 feet below the ground surface. In some cases the leaking water will certainly travel along the pipe, back to the meter. If the meter box consists of water, and the water is not due to drizzle or irrigation run-off, this could suggest a leak in the supply line. Another common exit point for the leaking water might be where the supply line comes up above the ground and/or gets in your house. If the soil is regularly moist at these areas this may indicate a leak. In cases of serious leaks, the water will leak up to the ground surface, typically straight above the course of the underground pipe. Frequently, leaks in between the meter and the home are the duty of the homeowner; leaks from the meter or pipes leading from the major to the meter are the duty of the water company. The water company should be gotten in touch with prior to any attempt to repair the water supply pipe. If the water company considers the leak to be the responsibility of the property owner, an expert plumbing technician ought to perform all repairs. This repair needs to never ever be attempted by a property owner.
Faucet, Shower, and Tub Leaks
Faucet leaks are an usual incident and typically basic to repair. A faucet leaking gradually at only one drop every two seconds will squander more than 1,000 gallons annually. The repairs needed to stop the leak relies on the kind of faucet, and there are 4 basic kinds discovered in many houses: compression valve, sphere types, cartridge types, and ceramic discs. Each sort of faucet has unique techniques of repair. If you are accustomed to using devices and making minor house repairs you need to have the ability to repair minor faucet leaks.
Toilet Leaks
Toilets are one the most typical sources of leaks in the home, and typically go undetected due to the fact that the leaks are typically silent and out of view. A number of research studies have discovered 20 % to 35 % of all residential toilets leak to some degree. Large toilet leaks can be spotted when the valve regularly gives off a hissing or gurgling sound when the toilet is not in use.
To begin searching for leaks take off the tank lid and examine the flush systems. The water level in the tank must be no higher than 1 inch below the top of the overflow tube. If the water level is to the top of the overflow tube, water is gradually leaking into the overflow tube and down the drain. The problem has among three causes: 1) the water level is adjusted too high; 2) the float is harmed and not shutting off the refill valve; or, 3) the refill valve is used and needs replacement.
You can carry out a basic dye test to check for leaks in the flapper valve. Place dye tablets or a couple drops of food coloring into the tank water to offer the water color. If the colored water appears in the bowl within 15 minutes, there is a leak in the flapper valve. Leaks happen when the flapper valve does not create a watertight seal. The seal can be compromised due to numerous reasons: a) the chain snagging, not permitting the flapper to drop totally onto the valve seat; c) the valve seat is used; or c) the flapper is used or warped. A worn flapper is the most typical cause by far, and can be quickly replaced.
Sewage system Leak Symptoms
Foul sewer smell – Sewer smell is normally obstructed by water in the drain traps or by vents that just enable air flow in one direction (out of the building). If water in the drain trap evaporates, such as in an unused sink or bath, the sewage system odors are allowed to rise up the drain into the building. If a vent pipe is not connected correctly or is damaged, the outdoor air pressure could force sewage system smells into your property.
Backed-up sewer line – Sewer lines back up due to clogs. Blockages could consist of root intrusion, particles, grease accumulation or a crushed pipe.
Overgrown patches of yard in the yard – If your sewer lateral is malfunctioning, it can be leaking water and waste into your yard. As the soil absorbs the added moisture and nutrients, the development of the surrounding area can substantially stick out in color and growth rate.
Video assessment in pipelines can assist determine the following issues:
- Split sewer lateral
- Bellied drain line
- Separated lateral joint
- Particles obstruction
- Root invasion
- Leaking pipe joints
- Shabby piping products
Our video examinations will reveal which problem is the reason for sewer and drain signs. The depth and exact area of the problem can be determined to keep your Leak Detection Riverside costs down.
Irrigation Systems
There are a number of methods to figure out if your irrigation system is leaking.
Taller, greener greenery or moss growing around the sprinkler heads are indications of a harmed or unclean valve. Clean grit from valves and change worn gaskets or seals.
Wet areas, mud, and eroding soil could suggest a damaged pipe or riser. Dry spots in your lawn could likewise be an indication that a sprinkler is harmed. To locate the source of the leak, you'll have to dig around the sprinkler. Wet areas or muddy locations around the valves indicate a loose connection or maturing washers.
Wet areas on pavement also indicate possible leaks. Watch your sprinklers in action to figure out which one is showering on the pavement. Then shut off the water and inspect the sprinkler head and riser. Sprinklers sprouting geysers of water indicate busted sprinkler heads. Change them.
Slab Leak Symptoms
The noise of running water when all water is switched off.
A hot spot on the floor could suggest a hot water line leak.
Cracks in walls or flooring.
Mildew or extreme moisture under carpets can indicate your slab is split.
High water bills – Although a high water expense could show a water leak behind the wall or in your pool, plumbing under the slab is likewise suspect.
How much water are you losing?
A water meter test is a simple method to determine if your plumbing system is leaking.
Finding A Riverside Slab Leak
Breaking into a slab or swimming pool deck without positive verification of a leak location is undesirable. Don't let anyone dismantle your property just to look for leaks. Finding a slab leak requires a comprehensive procedure with technical expertise.
Locating leaks non-destructively needs using contemporary tools such as electronic amplification equipment and electromagnetic pipeline locators. With the appropriate devices, leaks can be discovered and repaired with minimal interruption to home. Oftentimes, just a single floor tile has to be gotten rid of and replaced.
Other Possible Culprits
A warm or hot area on your floor, combined with an increase in your gas bill, might indicate a damaged hot water pipe in the concrete slab beneath your home. If this holds true, you will most likely have to call a plumber to reroute the pipes.
Check outdoors taps for leaking water, especially during the summertime watering period. A hose incorrectly left dribbling away on the yard or yard can waste countless gallons of water throughout the summer season.
Understand that the specific location of a leak might not constantly be quickly apparent. Some leaks might start at one location, then flow along a ledge or other channel for a range before they drain down and develop some visible damage.
Try to find damp, deformed or discoloration stains on your ceilings, floors, walls and woodwork (such as all-time low of your kitchen or washroom sink cabinet). As you try repair, make certain to examine twice for the actual place of the leak, not simply the resulting damage from the leak.
Condensation can likewise be a form of water leak. While condensation is normal, extreme condensation can cause damage to your walls, ceilings, floors and woodworking. If there is too much condensation, insulating your pipes might stop or minimize the condensation.
Here is an interesting video that shows a newer technology to detect water leaks:

By David Oliver
Holy plot, Batman! Err, Strongman I should say. This week featured some of the season's biggest developments, though left us with many questions about where it's all heading. All this plus quite the guest appearance by Matt Bomer! Proceed if you dare:
We're back at the morbidity museum and get a few glimpses about some of our characters' fates, including Bette and Dot's uncertain future (bodies on display?) – it's unclear whether this is a legitimate flash forward or just what Stanley wants to happen.
Stanley and Maggie make more of their con plans, but will her fondness for Jimmy get in the way? My vote is yes, especially considering the almost-kiss the two share.
Looking for comfort, Jimmy goes to see Desiree, who misses being a team with Dell. Jimmy continues to feel guilty about Meep and starts kissing Desiree. The two start getting busy, but before things get too intimate she starts bleeding pretty heavily. After a hospital visit, it turns out Desiree's penis is actually an enlarged clitoris that can be removed, and her bleeding was due to a miscarriage (!) – yes, she was pregnant and didn't know.
But there's an even larger issue looming: Dell is gay (!) and has been having affairs with men for years, and in this town it's with Matt Bomer's male prostitute Andy. Dell claims to love him after knowing him a month. Andy questions why Dell has kept his being gay a secret – he's "already a freak." Later, Andy meets Dandy and is in for a rude awakening, but more on that later.
Dell goes to Desiree's doctor and literally breaks his hands after finding out he plans on removing Desiree's extra appendage. And that wasn't even the most graphic scene in this episode.
In a fake-out sequence, Stanley tricks Bette into eating a poisoned cupcake and dying, following him murdering Dot who is in agony without her other half – but none of this actually happens. Not exactly sure where the show is going with its timeline, but I'm curious to see how it all unfolds, even if it's confusing at times. With "AHS," it all seems to make sense in the end for the most part.
Elsa gets food thrown at her by freak show attendees after a "Life on Mars" performance doesn't go over well, and by episode's end she's at Gloria Mott's bringing Dot and Bette to her, seemingly trying to pawn them off so she can have the spotlight and have all Stanley's attention to herself.
But before any of this, earlier in the episode Gloria finds Dora dead and just tells Dandy to go to his room. She rationalizes his behavior, blaming it on inbreeding by the wealthy.
Well, Dandy is full-on crazy if we didn't know that already. He claims "This body is America," and that he wants to be murderer. "I am no clown," "I am perfection," "I am the future," are statements he starts making. OK, crazy.
We get quite a few shots of his physique in a montage while he says all this. He later goes to the gay bar Dell was in and picks up Andy. He takes him to Twisty's trailer (!) and insists he's not gay, but that the two strip naked and turn around and see what happens. Andy (ugh) agrees, but when he turns around Dandy stabs him multiple times. He starts dismembering the body, but Andy is still alive! One arm off, and still alive. Dandy says, "You're making me feel bad." Really, Dandy, do you feel bad? Because if so, you probably wouldn't be murdering someone, just saying.
This seemed reminiscent of Shelley from "AHS Asylum" begging to be murdered, both her and Andy saying "please kill me" due to their dismemberment. Perhaps this is part of what Ryan Murphy meant when saying the seasons are all connected?
Dora's daughter Regina calls Gloria to find out where she is – and Gloria lies. How long is it before Regina comes to town, and will she fall vicitm by Dandy's hand, or even Gloria's? I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for next week already, and hope you are, too.

In simple terms, the intelligence that machines possesses is artificial intelligence. Why and how we use this remains linked to the study called as Machine Learning. It is the way the machines perceive their environment and react to it. The ones that produce the best results achieve success. The most successful ones are the self-driving cars and doors that open on their own when we reach home.
Improved learning method
The concepts linked to this phenomenon are Machine Learning (ML) and deep learning. The chatbots use natural language processing software to help them conduct a "natural talk" with customers. This happens at the shops or via the media platforms like Facebook Messenger. The artificial intelligence service improves on the existing technology by adding functionality.
Since the machines with Artificial Intelligence (AI) are always learning, you see they produce a new result every time you use them. They adapt to the new environment by comparing the old situation and observing the changes. They then add the new circumstance to the learning experience. They will take some time to give the right response because you have not inputted the response. Or, it might want to compare it with other instances before it adopts the new response. So, the smart machines might "know" the answer but will not output it unless there is a precedent or user input.
Need for advanced inputs
We can only use a specific range of inputs since we do not know all the situations that will cover the answer. So, we use the if-then scenario where we say, "if there is a fire, do not go near." Since there is no fire, this input will find a use at all. But, the smart machine will respond if there is a fire whereas the ordinary machines will not. You can find the entire range of machines in use now from the website of the artificial intelligence service providers.
Application of artificial intelligence to knowledge deals with specific aspects. This includes the volume of knowledge and the formatting. By itself, knowledge is vast and unorganized. Through the learning process, the data undergoes continuous adaptations so that it gets more segmentalized as we use it. This helps to accommodate vast amounts of knowledge for our use in an orderly manner. One has to keep up with the changes in this field because knowledge is always changing. What is there today will not be there tomorrow.
Changing face of the algorithm
Thus, the algorithm changes into a predicator by becoming a classifier. The self-learning mechanism gives you answers from the data. The data itself might be intellectual property so one must watch for this. If there are more than one applications using the same technique, the one that produces the best result will win. The usefulness of AI is in its accuracy since human effort will always come in second-best.
The traditional goals of AI include learning, planning, and knowledge representation first. It then goes on to the ability to move and manipulate objects, perception, and natural language processing. And finally, it is important that the AI system does what you expect it to do.

Simple tips on How to Get Free Bitcoin
Simple tips on How to Get Free Bitcoin
We are all in a different situation. A shoe cannot suit everyone. In this way, we will talk about different ways to get free Bitcoins. You might wonder if you can get Bitcoins for free. It's possible, in this article; we'll talk about
Simple tips on How to Get Free Bitcoin
Receiving payment in Bitcoins
Actually, It's not 100% free. However, technically, this can be called "free". Again, it's like a game reward. You can do it in many ways. For example, you can request donations in Bitcoins on your site. You can work with someone who pays in cryptocurrency. You can also ask your employer to unlock the payment in digital currency. This is possible if your employers already pay in cryptocurrency.
If you have high hopes that Bitcoin is increasing its value, we suggest you go ahead and pay in cash to buy it. This is the safest method so far. But if this is not possible, you can choose one of the methods mentioned above. I hope one or two of the methods work for you.
Affiliate programs
It is referred to as referral programs or associates, these are a great way to generate passive income if you run a website or if you are involved in a website (or any other element on the web that attracts visitors).
Services associated with an active affiliate program will pay you in bitcoins if you recommend to a friend to sign up on their websites. The more people you refer, the higher the chance that you'll make some decent money.
Mining needs a computer and a special program that helps miners compete with their peers to solve complex mathematical problems. If you want to take advantage of this currency, we advise you to invest in powerful hardware. You cannot just use your computer for this purpose. Nowadays, cloud mining arose because the growing difficulty of the mining industry has made it unprofitable for mining enthusiasts to mine Bitcoins at home.
To know about mining, check this website!
There are some games that will earn you a small amount of this digital currency if you play it for a while. Normally, these games are associated with many ads. All you have to do is keep playing and watching the commercials. In this way, developers can earn through ads and pay a portion of their profits. If you do not have a hard time seeing the ads, you can play these games and earn digital money in return.
Bitcoin Faucets are a reward system in the form of a website or application that distributes free bitcoins like Satoshi, which is a hundredth of a millionth BTC so that visitors claim in exchange for completing a captcha or activities as described by the website. There are also faucets that provide alternative cryptocurrencies. The prizes are given at various predetermined time intervals. Bitcoin faucet generally generates fractions of a bitcoin, but the amount generally varies according to the value of the bitcoin.

Important warnings do not fall into Scam
Do not fall for scams and do not lose all your money. So, if you avoid a scam, you can use any other method to make money. You cannot earn digital money through these scams. For example, if an offer asks you to pay a certain amount and you do not know what you will get in return, know that it is a scam.
Since crypto-currencies are quite expensive, it's not a good idea to take risks and fall into the scam. After all, he does not want to lose his hard-earned money in a second.

- GCF Task Force
Government of Norway Makes Major Pledge Of USD $25 Million to the Governors' Climate & Forests Fund
The Government of Norway has made a major pledge of USD $25 million to the Governors' Climate and Forests Fund to support innovative rainforest states in their plans to implement the Rio Branco Declaration to reduce deforestation 80% by 2020 and provide opportunities to local communities. The pledge will leverage the fund's efforts to enlist additional public and private funding sources.
The contribution was announced by Hanne Bjurstrøm, Norway´s special envoy for climate change, at last week's Governors´ Climate and Forests (GCF) Task Force annual meeting in Barcelona, Spain. Bjurstrøm told GCF members "We depend on the leadership of jurisdictions and state governments in forest countries. Your support is more important now than ever. If we all act together, we create a win-win opportunity of momentous proportions."
The United States joined Norway in calling on additional donors to support the Governors' Climate and Forests Fund. "The United States chose to support the Governors´ Climate and Forests Fund from its inception because it is an innovative initiative with truly transformative potential," said fund Board Member Evan Notman who works with the United States Agency for International Development. "We are excited by the momentum Norway has created and urge others to join us in contributing to the Fund."
With coordination from the Governors´ Climate and Forests Fund, GCF members will now work to leverage Norway´s contribution to catalyze additional public and private funding sources to close climate-finance gaps. These efforts will be essential in reaching national and global targets to reduce deforestation and limit the global rise in temperature to less than two degrees Celsius.
The entire press release can be found here.

Report: Ulcerative Colitis Drug Market Will Double Over Next Decade
Decision Resources, a research and advisory firm based in Burlington, Mass., finds that the ulcerative colitis drug market will double over the next decade, increasing to $3.7 billion in 2021 in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. The uptake of two premium-priced tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors — Humira (adalimumab, Abbott) and Simponi (golimumab, Janssen Biotech) — and of two novel therapies — the cell adhesion molecule (CAM) inhibitor vedolizumab (Takeda) and the oral Janus-activated kinase (JAK) inhibitor tofacitinib (Pfizer) — will primarily drive growth during this period, as will the expanding number of diagnosed prevalent cases of ulcerative colitis, the company says.
Increased physician acceptance of TNF-alpha inhibitors for the treatment of moderate-to-severe disease and patient preference for convenient subcutaneous administration are expected to fuel the uptake of the newer TNF-alpha inhibitors Humira and Simponi through 2021. Owing to its perceived greater efficacy than that of Humira in separate phase III trials and to favorable gastroenterologist opinion, Simponi will challenge the standing of intravenous Remicade (infliximab, Janssen Biotech) as the most frequently prescribed agent in the TNF-alpha inhibitor class. However, Remicade will remain the patient-share leader among the TNF-alpha inhibitors, maintaining a relatively constant patient share across the G7 countries, based on its well-established efficacy. Sales of Simponi are expected to overtake Remicade's sales in 2017, based largely on the former's premium price and assumed high dosing in ulcerative colitis, driving the market's growth as the new sales leader.
The launches of two promising premium-priced novel agents — vedolizumab and tofacitinib — in 2014 and 2016, respectively, will contribute to increasing sales over the ten-year forecast period, with the two drugs gaining most initial use for the treatment of TNF-refractory ulcerative colitis.
"These agents will likely extend the treatment algorithm by offering, for the first time, additional lines of therapy for patients with inadequate response to the TNF-alpha inhibitors," said analyst Kathrina Quinn, PhD. "Although the TNF-refractory market is relatively limited in size, the high unmet need for treatments that cater to this population and potentially delay or prevent colectomy will drive major-market sales of approximately $740 million in 2021, constituting about 20 percent total market share."
Toward the end of the forecast period, the company anticipates that vedolizumab and tofacitinib will begin to overtake the use of adalimumab as gastroenterologists move to another drug class after trying one or two TNF-alpha inhibitors. Even though vedolizumab is expected to launch first, tofacitinib's uptake will likely overtake that of vedolizumab based on its oral delivery and on postmarketing safety data for other immune indications.

Course title
Scientists have argued that human assets may be considered as a wellspring of managed point of interest for associations (Becker & Gerhart, 1996). The underlying intuition is that human assets are extraordinary to the degree that contenders can't copy them. A quickly changing nature's turf, described by such phenomena as the deregulation and globalization of commercial enterprises, changing client and speculator requests, and continually expanding item showcase rivalry, has turned into the standard for general associations. To contend, they should persistently enhance their execution by lessening expenses; improving items and operations; enhancing quality, gains, and velocity to market; and all the more significant by enhancing their individual execution inside the tie. With a specific end goal to do this, a set of unique human resource techniques, characterized as inside steady packages of human resource rehearses (Dyer & Reeves, 1995), is unmistakably crucial. HRM incorporates possibility hypothesis. It infers that the hierarchical system directs the relationship between key HRM practices and organization execution. HRM practice may impact organization execution with other procedure while best practices methodologies incorporate formal preparing framework, results turned evaluations, business security and interest.
Human asset administration is a key component of any connection. Additionally, improvement of this part is the first step, the basis on which the fate of the organization depends. It is extremely vital for any specialty unit and particularly for such worldwide organization as coca cola. HRM at Coca Cola Company has numerous favorable circumstances. It is a worldwide organization and it is difficult to make certain arrangements or systems relevant in all divisions of the organization.
The pertinence of HRM practices to HR experts is to help them to augment the...

Wow! Great service! Took 10 minutes to inspect my car and very friendly.
SO thankful to finally find a place where they don't rip you off. Very friendly staff, very reasonably priced, and the work was done in a couple hours (granted I took it in at 7am). I had a great experience and will def use this guys again
these guys are first class. constantly other mechanics tell me to do all this other work, but these guys consistently give me more information and tell me all the things i don't need that others say are desperately needed. from the past couple years of experience with them (and my two old cars) i have every reason to trust them. period.
I usually go to this place for the automatic car wash and to get an annual inspection. Recently, I went in for a tune up for a few things that have been getting worse over the last year. They gave me an estimate that afternoon and followed up with an update as they were working on the car, as it was going to take a bit longer than expected which I appreciated.
They are super friendly and did a great job.

Unique and Successful Fundraising Ideas for Nonprofits
Unique and Successful Fundraising Ideas for Nonprofits
In an era where nonprofits are abundant, charities have to get creative to stand out with unique and successful fundraising ideas for nonprofits. When examining the statistics, it's no secret that there's plenty of non-profits in Illinois. In 2017 alone, the number of registered charities surged 22.5% to 35,473. Out of this impressive figure, a shocking amount of these nonprofits are located in Chicago. Every year corporations and foundations donate $10 billion to Chicago nonprofits. This massive investment incentivizes droves of nonprofits to open up in Chicago every year. Though they must still do the hard work of coming up with big money fundraising ideas for nonprofits or for schools.
As Chicago's landscape for nonprofits becomes more competitive, hosting fundraising events on private yachts is exploding in popularity. This is a surefire idea for effective fundraising for nonprofits. On top of being one of the most unique fundraising ideas, the luxury showcased by this exclusive setting inspires members to donate. As one of Chicago's top private yachts, Adeline's Sea Moose is ideal for a wide range of fundraising events. To showcase the possibilities, we compiled a list of the most creative and successful fundraising ideas for nonprofits. Now's the time to raise what your organization needs, so stand out from the competition with these exceptional events!
Top Successful Fundraising Ideas for Nonprofits in Chicago
Fundraising Idea #1: Throw a Themed Fundraising Party –Hosting a themed party is easily one of the most entertaining ways to raise money. The more creative the theme is the better, since it's the perfect way to highlight your cause. Between door fees, drinks and food, this festive event sets the stage for multiple ways to generate donations. Prizes can be offered to guests that have the most creative costumes, so make sure to create incentives to dress up!
While land based venues can accommodate themed parties, none add the same mystique as a private yacht. Boasting a full wet bar and spacious deckhouse lounge, Adeline's Sea Moose was made to host luxurious parties. Our drink selection is just as diverse as our catering options, which adds an elegant touch to any event. Watching the stars reflect off the water is absolutely mesmerizing, so come indulge in an exhilarating alternative to traditional venues! This is no doubt one of the most successful fundraising ideas for nonprofits.
Fundraising Idea #2: Hold a Summer Barbecue –From June to September, Chicago's beautiful weather is back with a vengeance. Take advantage of this magical time of year by hosting a summer barbeque on the open water. Our yacht is docked in Burnham harbor, which provides the perfect setting for this event. Boasting exquisite views of the city, our 45-foot deck is ideal for an open air fundraiser. Whether you charge a fee for the food or set up a donation table, there are plenty of ways to raise funds. It doesn't get more refreshing than eating on a yacht, so give attendees a taste of the high life at Adeline's!
Fundraising Idea #3: Host a Sip & Paint Class –One of the best ways to gain support is allowing guests to unleash their creative side. By combining art classes and wine, sip & paint classes are a fun way to raise awareness for your cause. During the class, an example painting can be showcased for everyone to do their best to recreate it. While having a local artist help teach the class is ideal, in the end the best teacher is the beverages. As long as everyone is armed with a glass of wine, the rest will come together as their inner artist is slowly unveiled!
Aside from being wildly entertaining, what makes this idea so appealing is its versatility. You can reach your target amount by charging a registration fee for the art class, but the options to raise funds don't stop there. While some choose BYOB paint and wine, selling these amenities provides another opportunity to make the event more lucrative. Even though the level of talent varies, everyone will get to enjoy a dose of friendly competition. No venue is more inspiring for aspiring artists than a private yacht, so contact us to see what dates are available for your unique and successful fundraising ideas for nonprofits.

Callum was really upset one day. I asked him what was wrong.
He asked me, "Do people eat rabbits?"
I explained to him that, yes, some people like to eat rabbits. Just like some people like to eat other animals… like chicken, or fish. He quietly accepted what I said, but was still very sad. I asked him, "Who told you that people ate rabbits?"
He walked to the kitchen and opened the freezer door.
Inside the door was a chart of how long things should be kept in the freezer. It took me a looong time to explain it all. Including why we don't have any ice cream or Christmas cake in the freezer. He ended the conversation with, "Mum. I don't want to eat rabbits. Please don't cook rabbits for dinner ok?"
A few days later. He came to me announcing that, "Mum, people eat teddy bears!"
I began to correct him. But he protested.
I explained and reasoned in a calm, logical manner.
But he insisted. He was firm, resolute and so BLOODY stubborn! He wouldn't let it go either. He kept pushing me to agree with him.
After 5 minutes of arguing, he was so angry at me, and I was so angry at him.
So I walked to the freezer and flung the door open.
He scowled at me. Then STORMED to his room.
I hear a crash bang. And seconds later he walked out, dragging a huge empty cardboard box (that I store under his bed).
He heaved it over to where I was standing.
Threw it to the ground.
Pointed to the fridge door on the box and shouted,
(And yes, I did buy my son a pink kitchen set. There are no gender stereotypes in my household!!)

For corporate travellers, mobile apps are fundamentally altering the way in which they work and being able to manage their travel requirements at anytime, anywhere with speed and ease is what these travellers expect.
It's difficult to recall the days of travel before smartphones were ubiquitous – but mobile has changed the way the travel industry operates on all levels and corporate travel is no exception. According to PhoCusWright's European Online Travel Overview, online bookings on mobile devices are set to increase from 11% in 2013 to 20% in 2015 and mobile apps are poised to overtake PC internet usage this year – so it's clear that they are a vital part of creating a more connected future of travel.
With this in mind, our Amadeus e-Travel Management Mobile app, for both iPhone and Android, was designed with a reinvented look and feel, based on the latest trends, to fit in with users' expectations. The result gives a smoother navigation in an elegant configuration together with additional enhancements.
The app* now includes hotel** booking functionality complimenting existing flight and rail booking functionality, according to corporate policies and rules inherited from Amadeus e-Travel Management (AeTM). The app also gives the possibility to retrieve instantly trips booked via AeTM on the web or on the mobile device. Users can easily search, book and approve all the segments of their trip aligned to existing processes. Last minute trip planning is quicker thanks to its ease of use, being sure to stay aligned with company's policies, profiles, fares, methods of payments and delivery.
It's clear that mobile is key in terms of creating a more connected travel landscape and the Amadeus e-Travel Management Mobile app is a big leap forward for corporate travel managers.

Product Description
This hose was designed to overcome the known boost and oil leakage of the original fitment hose. Though this normally goes undetected due to its location, eventually total failure occurs.
Our solution is a 4ply Fluorosilicone hose to withstand the temperatures and pressures involved, but more importantly resist the degradation from oil. This is combined with CNC machined alloy couplers for the perfect, no leakage fitment. We supply the new hose, aluminium couplers and jubilee clips, in fact everything you require to replace your standard hose.
The Forge silicone hoses in this kit have been designed to include an expensive inner liner of modified silicone known as Fluorosilicone.
This means the hoses are suitable to be used with either modern long-life coolants, Organic Acid Technology coolants (O.A.T.) or air containing oil mist.
The construction of the hoses has been engineered to exceed that of the OEM fitments, and will enhance any engine bay both technically and aesthetically
The use of a Fluorosilicone liner ensures that Forge silicone hoses are the clear market leader.

Japanese financial giant Nomura (NMR) has snatched up Lehman's (LEH) Asian businesses, the FT reports.
Nomura is buying Lehman's entire regional franchise, which spans investment banking, fixed income and equities. However, for technical reasons the deal does not cover Lehman's South Korean operations, although Nomura is expected to acquire those at a later date.
News of the deal will come as a massive relief to Lehman's 3,000 staff in Asia, half of which are located in Nomura's heartland of Tokyo.
The deal comes as people close the situation said that Nomura could also announce on Monday it is acquiring some of Lehman's European operations.
Nomura clinched the Asia deal because it bid aggressively and Lehman's management was reassured by their integration plans, according to people familiar with the matter.

Marvel's New Warriors Gets A Series Order At Freeform
New Warriors Apr 5, 2017 Craig Byrne, Editor-In-Chief
That "New Warriors as a comedy starring Squirrel Girl" series rumor is not only true, but it's already ordered to series at Freeform. There are a million reasons why New Warriors would work better as a drama series, as the first series run by Fabian Nicieza was brilliant, but hey, Powerless was a big hit for NBC, right, so why not try another comic book comedy?
Hopefully the execution exceeds expectations.
Here's Freeform's press release with more details about the 10-episode series order:
Series Marks First Comedic Live-Action Show for Marvel Television
Freeform, Marvel Television and ABC Signature today announced their second project together, "Marvel's New Warriors," a new comedic live-action adaptation of the popular Marvel comic featuring young adult heroes. This marks Marvel's first foray into comedy for a television series. The network has ordered ten 30-minute episodes slated to debut in 2018.
"Marvel's New Warriors" is about six young people with powers living and working together. With powers and abilities on the opposite end of the spectrum of The Avengers, the New Warriors want to make a difference in the world … even if the world isn't ready. Not quite super, not yet heroes, "Marvel's New Warriors" is about that time in your life when you first enter adulthood and feel like you can do everything and nothing at once – except in this world, bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates.
The series will feature fan-favorite "Squirrel Girl" (Doreen Green) as a totally empowering fan girl—tough, optimistic and a natural leader. Doreen is confident and has the powers of a squirrel … She's acrobatic, can fight and talk to other squirrels. Her most important trait is that she has faith in people and teaches them to believe in themselves. Additional cast to be announced.
Freeform also has "Marvel's Cloak & Dagger" underway at the network.
"Freeform's mission is to deliver incredible content to young adults, and Marvel Television seamlessly aligns with that mission – we couldn't be more proud to collaborate with them on 'Marvel's New Warriors,'" said Karey Burke, executive vice president, Programming and Development, Freeform.
"'Marvel's New Warriors' have always been fan favorites, and now particularly with the addition of Squirrel Girl, they are Marvel Television favorites as well," said Marvel's head of Television and executive producer Jeph Loeb. "After the amazing experience we've had with Freeform on 'Marvel's Cloak & Dagger,' we can't think of a better place for our young heroes."
The series is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios. Marvel's Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's The Punisher," "Marvel's The Defenders"), and Jim Chory ("Marvel's The Punisher," "Marvel's The Defenders") serve as executive producers on the series.

BIG FISH AUDIO Rock Bass
Rock Bass is a varied collection of rock ''n'' roll bass loops and one-shots in WAV, REX2, and Apple Loops format.
Rock Bass ($49.95) is a genre-specific loop and sample collection of rock- and funk-inspired bass licks. It comes on CD and contains 660 MB of loops and one-shots. Eight folders of loops with tempos ranging from 80 to 120 bpm are arranged by tempo and key, and are provided in WAV, REX2, and Apple Loops (AIFF) format. A ninth folder of one-shot samples rounds out the collection. Rock Bass was produced by Pavel Stepanovsky, with editing by Steven Bolar and Mark Rinewalt.
All content is recorded in monophonic, 16-bit resolution at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, which is appropriate for bass and reduces sample size and load time. The folder- and file-naming scheme makes selecting loops a simple affair. The primary directories are named Apple Loops, REX, and WAV. Each directory houses seven loop folders, named for the loops' original tempos, and an eighth folder of effects-processed loops. The WAV and Apple Loops directories contain an additional folder for the one-shots. Each loop's file name consists of an index number followed by the loop's tempo and key. The one-shots substitute the words "One-Shot" for the tempo.
The Long and Short
The number of bars within the loops varies, but the majority of loops are two or four bars long. The one-shots are not always what you might expect — some are single notes, whereas others are licks that haven't been trimmed to loop. Those make good lead-ins, outros, and solo bridges, but, unfortunately, there are only 26 of them (see Web Clip 1).
I used Ableton Live 5 and Propeller-head Reason 3.0 to audition and create rough sketches with all of the loops. Live is an ideal environment for trial-and-error loop composition, and Reason has an excellent REX file player.
Although not recorded at the highest resolution, the loops are up-front and provide a good, clean foundation. All samples use electric bass, and the playing appears to be by a single musician. The bass playing is superb, perhaps even a bit too perfect for my taste. A substantial number of the licks are funky, harmonic, and rhythmically complex — not exactly what one might expect in a rock-bass collection. The content probably has more in common with Red Hot Chili Peppers or Tortoise than, say, the bass line of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water."
Mix and Match
The good news is that there is a lot of variety. The loops range from high to low octaves, and many are suitable backbones for songs. On the other hand, the loops are wide-ranging in style, and finding loops that match can be a challenge. For genres such as hip-hop and electronic pop, a single bass loop running throughout a song may be fine, but for rock, blues, and funk, that usually doesn't work. Matching time-warped loops of the same key but different tempo is a partial solution.
The files in this collection are well edited and loop seamlessly. Because the rhythm is rock solid, sketching out song ideas over drum loops is a breeze. On the downside, several of the one-shots are recorded with effects built in, which makes them difficult to match with other samples from the collection. I am a strong believer that effects should be added after recording.
Rock Bass is a great collection of useful bass riffs. The sound quality is good and the loop editing is nicely done. I would have liked a little more matching material, especially in the one-shot category, but considering the modest price, the collection is a good value.
