A considerable measure of people commonly find that its astoundingly difficult to pick where to go in the midst of the festive season, especially those with families as they have to find a place or activity that the whole family can take part in. One great idea would be to go for a safari tour in Africa which is additionally known as the cradle of mankind because a great deal of the early remains of early man were found there. The general climatic conditions in Africa are conducive for most wild animals that thrive in the Savannah for instance lions, cheetahs and elephants. You can in this manner arrange a safari tour so that you could see the grouping of wild animals in the many game reserves in Africa which also provide a fantastic view.
On the off chance that you are not a native, you may find that it is hard to search for a place to live while you tour the different game reserves and you will in this way need to enlist a Safari tour organization. A Safari tour association will provide accommodation services to you while you tour all the destined game reserves and places and they will take you to all those places as well. With the ultimate objective of getting those organizations, you will be required to pay a particular fee to the Safari tour association you pick and there are a lot of such associations. In light of the fact that they are many, you may be conflicted on which one to hire, therefore you will have to consider a number of important factors when choosing one to guarantee you get the best.
One of the vital components that you should consider when you are picking a Safari tour organization is the price that they will charge you for their administrations. The expense that these Safari tour associations will charge will depend upon different components, especially the quality of their organizations along these lines if you require quality organizations, you will pay a higher expense. Another critical factor that you should consider when you are picking a Safari tour organization is their authenticity, particularly on the off chance that it is your first time contracting such an organization.
Most people hire and pay for these services online without having proof that the Safari tour companies that they have hired are legitimate or not. You ought to subsequently ensure the Safari tour organization you are enlisting really exists and has been registered by all the significant authorities in their nation. The reputation of the Safari tour company is additionally an important factor that you should consider before hiring such a company. You can therefore look for the reviews of such companies on the internet to determine which Safari tour companies are most reliable and offer great services to clients.

The cannabis industry is growing at ridiculous rates every year, and now people are recognizing just how big an opportunity that could be for the job market.
With the marijuana industry expected to grow from $10 billion in 2018 to $22 billion in 2022, many are also expecting a major growth in industry jobs as well. There are an estimated 125,000 to 160,000 people working in the cannabis industry right now, which is more than there are librarians or kindergarten teachers in America. And the industry could add another 340,000 full-time jobs by 2022, an increase of about 21 percent every year.
Budtenders will perhaps be the biggest in-demand position in the growing cannabis industry. Budtenders are the sales people in dispensaries that actually inform clients about the products and sell them. Without qualified budtenders, the industry won't see the insane sales growth that is projected.
It also helps that budtenders don't necessarily need as much training as other positions in the industry. Someone who wants to grow commercial cannabis will need to learn about agriculture and botany so they understand the science behind not just growing cannabis, but all plants. But a budtender doesn't necessarily need advanced education to sell cannabis. Yes, they need to possess knowledge about marijuana and the different products they're offering, which may include attending training sessions. But they're not going to need a Master's degree in agricultural sciences either.
Budtender positions are also good entry-level positions, which are needed for younger people in America who are struggling to get their careers going. The positions will be plentiful, and usually they can be pretty well-paying, particularly if the person is actually good at their job.
So in a few years all your under-30 friends won't be waiting tables or bartending, they'll be selling you Granddaddy Purple at your local dispensary.

Health officials are leaving no stone unturned to control the spread of the Kyasanur Forest Disease or monkey fever, but dead monkeys continue to be found in the forests of Malnad region, causing concern among the people.
Three new KFD cases were reported at Aralagodu gram panchayat limits of Sagar taluk coming under the purview of Sharavathy valley wildlife sanctuary on Thursday. They are undergoing treatment at KMC Hospital, Manipal.
Speaking to DH, district health officer Venkatesh said the medical examination reports had confirmed that Ramamma, a resident of Kanchikai, Aralagodu gram panchayat, died of KFD. With this, the number of KFD deaths rose to five. The report of another patient Krishnappa is awaited.
He said 57 KFD cases were reported in the district so far. As many as 26 dead monkeys were found and their carcasses were burnt in the forest.
A team of experts from Mysuru have initiated a tick collection drive in Sagar and Hosanagar areas. They collected ticks (a type of insects) at Ulavi, Hosabale and other villages of Sorab taluk. Tests will be conducted on the ticks in the laboratory.
The carcass of another monkey was discovered at Hirgana village in Karkala taluk, Udupi district on Thursday.
Two days ago, carcasses of four monkeys were found in Siddapur, Hosangadi and Shiroor villages in Kundapur taluk. The increasing instances of monkey deaths have left the residents
Udupi district health officer (DHO) Dr Rohini told media persons that post mortem on the four dead monkeys
had been conducted and samples had been sent to the laboratory in Shivamogga for testing.
"The reason behind the sudden death of monkeys will be known next week after the report from the laboratory reaches us next week," she said.
The DHO, allaying apprehensions in villagers, said spraying of insect repellents was taken up in villages lying on the border of forests to prevent infected ticks from spreading the monkey disease.
Among the 59 patients admitted in KMC hospital in Manipal, 21 had tested positive to KFD. All the 59 patients hail from Shivamogga district. Four patients had been shifted to the intensive care unit and 33 patients are recovering, sources said.

Wrapped in a cold, wet blanket
The rain continues to fall, soaking the city to the bone. It makes me feel heavy with exhaustion, so I nap. A lot. Today instead of my view of the tips of the Golden Gate Bridge out of my windows I saw only white. Thick foggy goodness blanketing the city.
My antidote so far has been one of three things: bookstores, movie theaters and sleeping. Today I pulled out the big guns and went to a few museums. The fog in The Presidio was so thick that I had a hard time finding the front door of The Legion of Honor, in spite of it's Romanesque silliness.
I'm not a big fan of antiquities or schoolchildren, so my trip to The Legion of Honor was short lived. They did have some pretty grand sitting rooms without the customary security guards lurking around every corner, so that you could actually sit and enjoy the space. Which was nice.
The de Young was more my speed however. It's a sprawling museum that I've always appreciated more from the outside. Today, though I could barely see my hand in front of my face. I stumbled through several rooms of the maddest watercolors that I'd seen in ages. They have a fine collection of 19th century convex mirrors as well.The highlight is the nine-story copper tower that, in theory, gives you an unmatched view of the park from its top level. Today I could see the roof of the science museum across the street. That was about all. I hear the sun is coming out tomorrow.

SSCF Joins RBC Future Launch Community Challenge
Youth in southern Saskatchewan invited to put their boldest ideas and solutions forward to address local needs
(June 5, 2019) – The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation (SSCF) is joining the RBC Future Launch Community Challenge, making up to $15,000 available to youth-led projects that address diverse and urgent local priorities in six (6) eligible communities in southern Saskatchewan.
"Youth have bold ideas and we know that when they drive the conversation on topics that matter most to them, they inspire change. This challenge gives youth an opportunity to demonstrate that leadership, to build relationships with local charities, and to create change towards local priorities and specific needs," says SSCF Executive Director Donna Ziegler.
The RBC Future Launch Community Challenge will enable youth to apply for funding to support their bold ideas to address urgent community priorities. It is an opportunity for young people to lead, learn new skills, gain experience, and build relationships in their local communities – all things that will help them prepare for the future of work.
This Community Challenge goes far beyond southern Saskatchewan as participating community foundations will make grants and learning opportunities available to youth-led initiatives in 150 communities from coast to coast to coast. As a whole, the RBC Future Launch Community Challenge aims to empower Canadian youth for the jobs and community realities of the future.
"This opportunity is incredibly exciting for youth in southern Saskatchewan," says Greer Andruschak, a summer student with SSCF who will be providing administrative support to the project. "The RBC Future Launch Community Challenge will get the next generation involved in the community and will allow youth to plan creative solutions that enhance equity, sustainability, and fairness that will help lay the groundwork for a brighter future."
"RBC believes strongly in the power, vision and potential of youth, and the influence they can have in their communities," said Mark Beckles, senior director, Youth Strategy and Innovation, RBC. "That's why we are thrilled to partner with the Community Foundations of Canada to help young people make a difference in communities across Canada while building the 21st century skills needed to prepare for the future of work."
Grant applications will be accepted between May 22 and September 18, 2019. Contact SSCF for more information on how to apply, or visit https://sscf.ca/grants-funding/grant-fund-overview/rbc-future-launch-community-challenge/
About RBC Future Launch Community Challenge
The RBC Future Launch Community Challenge will be hosted by Community Foundations of Canada and participating community foundations, and is made possible thanks to a $5M donation from the RBC Foundation. It is part of RBC Future Launch, a commitment by RBC and the RBC Foundation to empower Canadian youth for the jobs of tomorrow. Over the next 10 years, RBC Future Launch is dedicating $500 million to help young people access meaningful employment through practical work experience, skills development opportunities, networking solutions and mental well-being supports and services.

One map can bring Town Hall together, Chief Assessor Cynthia A. Cosgrove told selectmen Monday.
Tomorrow, Oct. 1, the town website, auburnguide.com, will launch PeopleGIS, a mapping and data management service. The launch is the culmination of a five-year effort to implement a geographic information service in Auburn.
Various town departments will peg a map of the town with data � home values, crime statistics, water and sewer lines � with some of it available online to the general public and some of it shared among town departments only.
Ms. Cosgrove said property assessment information will be the first data available this week online.
�All our property record data from the assessors� office will be online,� she said. She predicted that the online system would reduce the number of in-person visits to her office.
Data layers hidden from public view will, for example, let agencies such as the police and fire departments note which homes have elderly or disabled residents who may require additional services. Any government information that can be related to a geographic location can be added to the PeopleGIS system.
�There�s over 400 applications that have been written by other towns for it,� Ms. Cosgrove said.
While she thanked several town officers who helped to implement PeopleGIS, acting Town Manager Charles T. O�Connor said it was Ms. Cosgrove who kept pushing for GIS when it seemed unlikely to succeed.
�This particular project died on at least two occasions, probably more,� Mr. O�Connor said.
Also at their Sept. 27 meeting, selectmen appointed current Deputy Fire Chief Stephen M. Coleman Jr. acting fire chief to replace Chief William A. Whynot, who is retiring. Deputy Chief Coleman has been deputy chief in Auburn for four years. He was a full-time member of the Charlton Fire Department from 1995 to 2006, and started as an auxiliary firefighter in Charlton in 1989, while still in high school.

Today, the Supreme Court ruled that states and local governments can collect sales tax from businesses that have no people or property in their jurisdiction, overruling Quill Corporation vs. North Dakota, a decades-old legal precedent. This ruling opens the door for governments to collect more than $8 billion dollars in tax from e-commerce sales that were previously off limits. The following commentary is from Charles Maniace, global head of regulatory analysis at Sovos, a leading global provider of software for modern tax and the only Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement-certified solution for large enterprises and small businesses alike.
"We are officially in a new era of sales tax. What we have considered to be a foundational principle that defines where businesses must collect and remit sales tax, are now entirely out the window. States now have almost a blank slate on which to write, and businesses will face a wave of new rules for tax compliance," Maniace said.
"There is, however, still a standard for when businesses will have to charge and remit tax: a 'substantial nexus.' What does and does not qualify as substantial nexus will be defined over the next few years, but what we do know is that 'substantial' no longer means 'physical,' and that's a huge change."
What do e-commerce sellers need to know? "Any business that sells through e-commerce should pay close attention to state rules, especially in the 20 states that have introduced the same or similar rules as South Dakota. Businesses that sell through e-commerce channels will need watch each state in to which they sell goods for new laws that are sure to come quickly, and they will have to monitor whether those states' will be litigated under this revived standard set by Complete Auto Transit, Inc. v. Brady and Pike v. Bruce Church Inc."
What do states need to know? "States now have the ability to articulate that they have a reasonable standard to establish whether a business has substantial nexus that would require it to pay sales tax. In order to pass this standard, the rule must be reasonable and tax compliance must be manageable. The Court was clear to point out that South Dakota created a standard that does not burden commerce. They have a fairly simplified and uniform sales tax structure, their nexus law excludes small sellers, and as a Member State of the Streamlined Sales tax Agreement, they provide taxpayers with affordable software solutions."
"In today's ruling, the Supreme Court discusses software as a means for easing the burdens of sales tax on businesses of all sizes, which seemed to be a key factor in the ruling."
What role will software play moving forward? "It's clear the court appreciated the nature of the South Dakota rule, which set a clear threshold for substantial presence and simplified its sales tax regime, including years of work as a member of the streamlined sales tax initiative, of which Sovos has been a part of for more than a decade. This ruling makes it clear that software is an important part of making sales tax compliance manageable and affordable, and as the ruling mentions, many reliable and affordable solutions are currently available from vendors like Sovos. This ruling should drive further adoption of software, particularly among smaller businesses that have largely flown under the radar until now."
What's next in the regulatory environment? "We'll likely see states quickly enacting existing rules and drafting new ones, but congress is the wild card. Everyone is waiting to see if they will step in to create a standard, which they have a right to do, or leave it to the states."

The inexplicable excitement of Kaziranga can only be compared with a live demonstration of Nat-Geo Wild channel watched with naked eyes. The world inside Kaziranga national park of Assam is mystic yet natural. It is because there she is bare, candid and bold in her display of secret. This is perhaps the only national park of India where a visitor does not need to put any effort to sight a wild life. The wild comes close to him and sometimes so close that one can even touch them by hands.
Likearunning motion picture panorama and astonishment of Kaziranga changesin a preset order. If one rhino passes you from the left, then they very next moment you can find a hornbill watching you from the woods. In one blink if you find a group of Assam roof turtles taking a sun bath beside a lake, then in next very moment a herd of Asian elephants can cross your beaten path.
It is hard to believe now that this national park of Assam an UNESCO world heritage sight was once about to vanish and then had a rebirth like a phoenix from ashes. Today Kaziranga is not only bouncing back as a huge national park, it is also cementing itself as one of the best example of the world to show how care and awareness can do magic in India.
The splendid NH-37 runs infront of the park from Guwahati to Jorhat. On it's left side near the borrow pit of the road rhinos, elephants, deer and wild water buffaloes often stand. They come so close that one can take selfie with them though the same is strictly not recommended. If this is what one can see from outside imagine what thrill Kaziranga holds inside of her womb.
We Indians can hate Lord George Curzon for many reasons but this nation will ever be indebted to this legendary ruler for protecting and preserving several Indian monuments including Taj Mahal and Konark temple from their dilapidation.
The contribution of Curzon is not limited to these historical monuments alone. In 1903, after spending three long days when his American wife Mary Victoria Leiter could notsee a single rhinoceros in wild, she pressed the panic button and persuaded her husband to save Kaziranga. Curzon, unlike our present leaders, acted promptly.
On 1st June 1903 it was announced as reserve forest with 232 sq km of area which later on expanded to 480 sq km, that is more than double in size. In 1916 it was declared as game sanctuary but wanton killing of animals forced AJW Milory and PD Stracey, two environment enthusiasts, to fight against any kind of killing and thanks to their efforts from 1968 it was declared a national park, perhaps the most exceptional and extraordinary national park India ever had.
The exceptional feature of Kaziranga is visible in its magical landscape where three different faces of a forest viz woodland, wet land and grazing land co-exist side by side. It is a flat expansion of fertile alluvial soil formed out of erosion and silt deposition. The landscape is where the spectacular wildlife exists covered with sabanas, tall elephant grass, cane, riverines, flood formed lakes and some small elevated mounds.
More than 5% of its surface area is covered by water-bodies. The park is circumscribed with mighty Bramhaputra river that flows inside the park like a king. Otherriverines like Dhansiri, Diplu and Mora also make their presence felt in the park. Bramhaputra flows on the north side of the park. Almost every year backflow of its water submerges the forest. However it is now proven that this flood helps to maintain a healthy bio-diversity balance of this park by recharging its water land, filled all lakes with fish stock, make the land fertile with its silts and clears its debris.
Though it kills several animal in one hand, it also ensures a perfect healthy ecology on the other. Kaziranga is often referred as play ground of big five of Indian wild life family. All these free roaming primates coexist here in a negotiated peace. It is here all big five such as Royal Bengal Tiger, Indian unicorn rhinoceros, Indian elephants, Indian water buffalo and swamp deer are visible in abundance. Unbelievable it may sound but fact remains that in Kaziranga 70% of world's rhinoceros are found.
In 2006 they counted as many as 1855,anumber that can surely make Lady Curzon smile in her grave. Assam has maximum number of elephants in India and Kaziranga itself houses 1206 of them out of 5500 plus. Indian water buffalo, the giant creature with massive horns are found in plenty here in Kaziranga and so are swamp deer with magnificent designed horns over their heads.
Aside of swamp deer, Kaziranga also had considerable number of hog deer, barking deer, sambar, gaur, wild boar, jungle cat, fishing cat, hispid hare, civet, Bengal fox, particoloured flying surrel, pangolin etc. Sighting rhinoceros in Kaziranga is almost like sighting a stray dog in an urban area. They are everywhere. They are in grazing land chewing the grass all the day as well as inside the lake taking a cool bath.
It will be worth mentioning that this biggest home of rhino in world once used to house Javan rhinoceros now completely extinct. They ignore visitors mostly but in case of utter misfortune out of panic they may attack. Imagine a bundle of 2300 kg mass is pushing your jeep from front and there is a herd of elephants waiting to receive you at the edge !!!!! Kaziranga is the kingdom of the beast and it is best to be submissive in every step. Be careful with buffalo and elephants. They roam in groups where every cub is protected with ultimate care and any disturbance or threat in any form can prove fatal.
Animals crossing the beaten track is very common here and one needs to be careful in those moments. Any mess up with them to whom Kaziranga actually belongs may convert intoadeadly encounter. So play your role with dignity if you are inside of such a place. Tiger sighting is not easy in Kaziranga, though the park has a dense population of them. In the year 2000 animal census found 86 numbers of full grown tigers here, that makes 0.2 tiger/sq km an amazing proportion.
Tiger is mostly found near lakes and woodlands. They often take position in deep elephant grass making the task of spotting extremely difficult, but their smell and other signals like deer barking or an excitement among birds and monkeys on the branches often create a chilling impact on visitors. Being an isolated animal, a tiger is very much unpredictable. In Kaziranga tiger often comes out of the park and roams in the tea gardens. Every tourist wants to watch a tiger in Kaziranga and often behaves crazy once it is sighted. Needless to say this kind of overenthusiasm invites fatal trouble in wild. Outside Africa this is perhaps the only place where three big cats viz Royal Bengal Tiger, leopard and Himalayan clouded leopard are found in their natural breeding ground.
This is also one of the biggest theatre of birds in the world. More than 478 species of birds are often sighted here. Out of that 25 are globally threatened and 21 are near threatened. No wonder that apart from its crown of UNESCO world heritage site won in 1985, Kaziranga has also owned another crown named Important Bird Area ( IBA) by Birdlife International for an enriched avifaunal species. Apart from elegant pelicans and hornbills,sky of Kaziranga is crowded with rosering parakeet, serpent eagle, Bengal florican, bald headed geese, jungle fowl, whistling teal, dalmation pelican, black neck stock, and many more.
Almost in every tree and near all lakes you can notice a rare eagle or an amazing colourful bird. For a birdwatcher this is a goldmine. Asamark of healthy ecosystem the park contains many raptors like eastern imperial eagle, white tailed eagle, greater spotted eagle etc. Once this was a home for huge number of vultures but an epidemic in last few years have wiped out 99% of them. Still rare vultures like red headed, Eurasian black and very rare slender billed vultures are found here. The park has three zones and it is better to map that before you go out for a safari. Kohora is the central zone where animal sighting is reported maximum. Here wild world of Assam unfolds likeafresh lotus bud. Plenty of rhinoceros, elephants, deer and ground monitor lizard roam in this zone whereas trees and lakes are full of pelicans, eagles etc.
This part of the park has both grazing land and woods. One should not miss to spot array of Assam roofed turtle taking sunbath on dead woods in a line like a company of disciplined soldiers. This is one of the signature sights of Kaziranga. Kohora is best explored from afternoon to sundown. 21 km from Kohora another entry gate named Agratoli is like another door of magic world.This eastern part of the park adjacent to tea gardens is full of water bodies, woodlands and grassland. Apart from a pelican colony the bank of Bramhaputra is also here.Acareful watching from this bank can show you Gangetic dolphins in the river. Chance of sighting tiger is very high and so are rhino and water buffaloes.
The famous YouTube video of Kaziranga tiger attacking elephant was taken in a tea garden adjacent to this zone only. Bagori is another gate of Kaziranga and an equally enriched zone. As usual, this part is also full of rhinos and elephants. Here roads are dusty and often crossed by any of the big five creatures of Kaziranga. One more entry point, not that popular, is Panbari where hoolock gibbons, the only ape found in India and cat langurs are often sighted. In local language Kaziranga means where mountain goats have water but legend has also generated a love story between a boy named Kazi and a girl named Ranga.
It is believed that when their relation was not sanctioned by the society one day they entered the jungle by holding their hands only to vanish inside forever. Thus the forest is named after them. Like that legend the story of Kaziranga's emergence from a near extinct condition in 1903 to one of the top national parks of the world is nowamatter of pride and discussion across the world. No other jungle of India hasthis much interestspectrum and history as Kaziranga contains. Thusin our memories and in ourspirit of humanity that teaches us for peaceful coexistence with nature Kaziranga lights up likeabright flame of a burning torch.

Choose What is Right for Your Loved One and Your Family
How Do I Pick an In-Home Care Provider?
A helpful guide full of the information you need to feel confident in your decision-making.
Elder care services are a growing part of the healthcare market. It seems everywhere you turn these days new retirement communities are being built, along with advertisements for in-home care services on the radio, TV, and online. More providers mean more choices but how do you choose what is right for your loved one and your family?
The whole process of finding someone could not have been easier. I cannot say enough good things about Comfort Home Care. Top notch. – Kara H.

CEVES has identified 18 industries in the Serbian economy that, in spite of general obstacles in the business environment, insufficient macroeconomic stability, and a lack of financial resources, posses potential to foster further economic growth. Those industries exhibit strong export competitiveness and growth capabilities and can be considered the most promising, the most suitable and the most attractive industries for firm development. The main goal of this case study is to provide a sound knowledge about the performance and competitiveness of one selected industry, and to determine the reasons explaining that performance and competitiveness, by focusing on the identification and understanding of critical success factors. Considering the industry selection criteria (more in report, page 119), the manufacture of Fabricated Metal Products (FMP) was selected.
The Fabricated Metal Products (FMP) industry involves the transformation of metals into intermediate and final products using one or a combination of three processes – fabrication, preparation, and finishing – that can also encompass a host of other techniques such as forging, stamping, bending, forming, welding, machining and assembly. Companies in the sector purchase raw ferrous and nonferrous metals (e.g. carbon, aluminium, steel, titanium, brass, copper), generally the primary inputs in fabricated metal production, in either raw or semi-finished directly form primary producers or large-scale distribution companies and sell them to a range of industrial customers. Generally, this industry consists of a relatively large number of small and medium enterprises, with a relatively high share of exporters among them. The Fabricated Metal Sector had the highest number of companies of all sectors in the first quadrant and a HHI of only 150. Furthermore, the industry exhibited an improvement in export competitiveness, but with a high potential for further enhancement. The Fabricated Metal Products sector is located in the first quadrant and ranks 13th in terms of competitiveness and 15th in terms of industry performance out of 53 tradable industries.
The Industry of Fabricated Metal Products is one of the best performing industries in the Serbian economy, possessing adequate attributes and resources for firms to produce internationally competitive products while operating relatively sustainably and dynamically. The main characteristics, which determine the position of this industry in the performance-competitiveness matrix, are a great number of firms, a relatively solid overall performance and strong international competitiveness. The FMP industry is located in the first quadrant of the performance-competitiveness matrix, which indicates that this industry has achieved both positive export competitiveness and overall performance in the five-year period, from the strike of the crisis in 2009 until 2013. This quadrant obviously represents the desirable and preferable location for every industry. Industries located in this quadrant can be considered the current stars of Serbia's economy. The exact position of the FMP industry within the performance-competitiveness matrix is shown in the figure below. The FMP industry is presented by an orange bubble, whose size is determined by the number of firms that operate in that industry. Other best performing industries, located in the first quadrant, are colored blue, while the remaining industries of the Serbian economy are colored grey.

FUGA / Fugue
Alicja (Gabriela Muskała) is diagnosed with dissociative fugue, a condition that has made her forget her identity. When her family finds her, she learns that she has a husband and a five-year-old son. Initially, she wants to abandon them as soon as possible, but she becomes intrigued by the life she left behind. Fugue plays out a bit like a horror flick, but the subtle influences are combined into a coherent whole. Smoczyńska and Muskała, who also wrote the script, have moulded an intriguing character, a metaphor for many women in modern-day Poland, who are trying to free themselves from their traditional social roles. (Ola Salwa, Cineuropa)
Agnieszka Smoczyńska
Agnieszka Smoczyńska is a graduate of the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School in Katowice, Poland and has also participated in master classes at the Wajda Film School. In 2015 she debuted with her feature film "The Lure" (CE'16) which experiments with musical and horror, and received the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2017, she received the Global Filmmaking Award at Sundance.

A series of powerful storms in January have caused New Melones Reservoir to rise rapidly. As of January 24, the reservoir was at 950,000 acre feet, 40% of total capacity. In January of last year, the reservoir held 392,000 acre feet, only 16% of total capacity.

This video shows the reservoir on January 21 from a vantage point on Parrotts Ferry Road.
First time I've seen this waterfall from Parrotts Ferry Road. Sure is nice to see Melones filling up!

The 2004 volleyball season was one of my toughest seasons. The first month was spent dealing with gym floor repairs and painting, girls getting things stolen out of their lockers, injuries, bus break downs, people complaining about playing time, the first losing season of my career, and the list went on. That's not what I planned – that wasn't part of my goal. I asked myself, "What is going on?" I thought I'd put a lot of time into coaching – preparing and planning. Why weren't things going my way? How do you deal with frustration? How do you deal with life when life isn't fair? What do you do, when what you planned isn't being executed and the results are not what you planned?
There is a passage in the Bible that helped me refocus. Hebrews 12:1-3 says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won't become weary and give up." This is a sermon (or three), so I'll quickly sum up what I learned!
The first thing I need to do is "LOOK AROUND." "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith." Imagine standing on the 50 yard line of an NFL stadium or on the pitcher's mound in a MLB park, while every seat is filled with God's people cheering you on! Look around, God is cheering you on! I'm not alone, neither are you!
The next thing I need to do is "LOOK DOWN." "Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up." Have you ever seen a track star leave her ankle weights or training gear on as she approaches the starting line? Of course not! The athlete will strip himself of any extra weight, any extra hindrance, or anything that will cause their performance to slack. They look down at their feet and make sure nothing is going to trip them up.
As a child of God, who is focusing on being like Christ, what is causing me to stumble? What is keeping me from my goal? What is evident in my life that needs to change? Is it bitterness, gossip, negative attitude, or a lack of integrity? Are these the things which entangle and trip me up! Strip it off, seek forgiveness!
Finally, and most importantly, "LOOK AT JESUS!" "We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith." From the day Jesus Christ entered this earth, born in a manger – to the day He was unfairly put on trial, beaten, and crucified…Jesus give us encouragement to live this faith! He is our mentor, the one we must focus on! When we look at Jesus, we are encouraged and enabled to keep on! "…then you won't become weary and give up." (Verse 3)
Endure the race, endure this season, and endure what is happening in your life by looking around, down, and focusing on our Champion Jesus Christ!

Killing sin in ourselves is a tricky and delicate operation. How to slice marrow from bone without damaging the bone? The Holy Spirit is in us and He is the glory and purity we need, but surrounding Him inside us is all our depravity. We are so dark inside that often, we can't even see our sin!
Puritan John Owen wrote a monumental book addressing this very issue. It's called The Mortification of Sin. (1656). Mortification means, "The action of subduing one's bodily desires."
Owen wrote another monumental book called The Nature, Power, Deceit & Prevalency of Indwelling Sin In Believers. (1675). They are scriptural, convicting, towering books of the faith. They are also dense, difficult, and full of antiquated language. Sadly, for many people these books aren't read, because they are just too difficult.
But they need to be read. To that end, Kris Lundgaard wrote a book called The Enemy Within. He said that reading Owen was difficult but he stuck with it. He said he benefited greatly from Owen's treatment of sin in us, our sin nature and the Christian's duty to slay it. He knew though, that the many Christians would likely not read Owen, of if s/he started, would probably give up. It's a slog. (I can testify to that, I tried to read Mortification of Sin and stopped).
Fervently believing that the important treatment of killing sin in ourselves, principles Owen had outlined in his book, should be available to the widest audience, Lundgaard wrote a sort of Cliff's Notes to the Owen book on Indwelling Sin. It's an adaptation of Owen's work, modernized and synopsized. Hence his title, The Enemy Within. This and other books by Lundgaard are –
adaptations of works by English Puritan John Owen [1616-1683]. Someone has suggested these books should be subtitled: "John Owen for Dummies" (not to be confused with John Owen's original works that simply make most of us feel like dummies).
I had to read with a dictionary in one hand and Owen in the other, and until I got the hang of his style I had to read many sentences several times over. But the value of Owen had been undersold: I was underlining more than half of every page. In his works on Temptation, Indwelling Sin, and Mortification, my heart was being laid bare. How did he know me so well?
But he didn't just cut me up and leave me to pick up the pieces. He offered help, strong medicine—lots of strong medicine. And by God's grace things began to change for me. I'll always be grateful to Owen for that—I hope to tell him so when I see him.
Owen's ability to exegete my heart overwhelms me. He exposes my flesh's defense strategies, which leaves me vulnerable—vulnerable to the gospel. He doesn't just tear down; he builds up. And he helps me to see Christ more clearly, so that I may adore him more fully. Lundgaard in an interview with Tony Reinke
I have read half Lundgaard's book. I'm 6 1/2 chapters into a 13 chapter book. It's highly readable, and it's helpful. It actually makes me want to read Owen! I've got both of Owen's books queued up at Amazon for purchase. Killing sin in ourselves, an essential subject.
Meanwhile, my friend and poet Kay Cude had sent me her latest piece. She didn't know I was reading The Enemy Within. The topic of her poem is about indwelling sin. How perfectly providential! She wrote,
A "take heed" to my fellow beloved redeemed in Christ from my personal experience of walking in the flesh and being caught in its snare. The immediate results were heart-wrenching and slammed me to my knees. And that is good place from where to repent and examine myself as I look up into the face of the forgiveness and mercy of God.
I was quite taken by her poem. This is a wonderful piece of poetry inspired by scripture reading and life application. Please take a moment to bask in this quality work. There are further resources at the bottom of the picture.
Kill your sin, or it be killing you.

Developed by scientists at the University of California, San Diego, CitiSense allows users to access pollution data on their smartphones, laptops or home computers. The pollution monitoring system features certain sensors that measure the air quality in your vicinity and project the same on your screens via a color-coded scale – from red to green.
The portable device could help asthmatic patients to analyze the air quality before they finally decide to step out of their abodes. The device can successfully detect pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and ozone and accordingly, allow users to gather data regarding the urban pollution. Successfully tested on 30 users for four weeks, the device helped them have a better picture of air pollutants' behavior in urban areas.
Researchers further plan to deploy wireless networks by using CitiSense devices, which could transfer the pollution related data to central computers, or the public health agencies.

This was our first time ever driving in a foreign country and I'm not going to lie I was very skeptical when the nice man at the Blue Car Rental handed us the keys and said "Have a nice trip." Excuse me?! We are not qualified for this. We don't know what we are doing! Are you sure you want to trust us with this car? Apparently he was not concerned and off we went. So here are some tips and tricks, some life lessons if you will, about driving in Iceland.
Road Signs
I'm going to suggest googling Icelandic street signs before you go. Just a quick glance will really up your driving game. We found this out when I hit gravel road at 70kmh because we were busy puzzling out what that danger sign back there meant and what the translation for "Malbik endar" was. (Spoiler alert: It means the pavement ends)
Addresses don't exist.
I'm still trying to figure this one out but addresses do not work in your maps app. I don't care what app you use. Iceland does not feel the need to help you unwrap its mysteries. So if you are looking for an airbnb or a hostel or somewhere not necessarily on the golden circle, use the directions they give you. Your map will lead you astray.
Don't Stop on the Roads
You're driving along at 90kmh, which is the almost universal Icelandic
speed limit, and some idiot has parked their car in the road! My gosh I don't know why people think this is OK, but DO NOT BE THIS PERSON. There are no shoulders on most of the roads. Yes, that baby cow is adorable but you did not need to put everyone's life in danger to get a photo of it. There are plenty of places to pull off, marked by little "park" signs. It has a pine tree and a picnic table on it (which is interesting seeing as the tree population in Iceland seems very small) so just wait for your opportunity.
One way bridges
I'm just letting you know that for some reason Iceland does not feel the need to make its bridges more than one lane. It makes zero sense to me but whatever, I'm not in charge. It means that you have to stop and let the other side of the bridge go for a while and then that side has to arbitrarily decide that it is your turn. There is no rhyme or reason and it is terrifying every single time. Good Luck.
Blinkers in Roundabouts
This country loves a roundabout. What we noticed is that as cars exit, they signal with their blinker so that the people at the next exit know they can go. I loved this, so efficient. Do the right thing and participate in this best roundabout practice.
Gas is Expensive
It will cost you about $100 to fill up a mid-sized sedan. Prepare accordingly, maybe sell an organ before you come.
Safe travels, friends!

Voodoo Jürgens is seen as the next great hope for Austropop. It's apparent that he has all the attention of the Austrian music scene. And that is certainly thanks to his lyrics. Because the music is of a very reserved nature. A little guitar for the background, every now and then a hurdy-gurdy and some drums to complete the sound. He plays folk, but more like anti-folk, and in his performances he almost evokes a young Bob Dylan. He isn't stingy with live shows, it actually feels like he has already played everywhere. Whether as the opening act for The Libertines – whose influence seems obvious in "Heite grob ma Tote aus" – Voodoo Jürgens always performs with a certain spark.
He didn't just appear out of nowhere, though. He spent years as the frontman for the garage-rock band Die Eternias, and has stood with them onstage as support band for Ja, Panik or worked on an album with Wolfgang Möstl and his song "Broken Bones". That one has even already had airplay on FM4. It was in Die Eternias that he got his name because they would come up with new stage names for their albums. Now the musician from Tulln IS Voodoo Jürgens. And since the death of Udo Jürgens it has even acquired an extra macabre nature that he has eagerly taken to heart.
It's the little details that make Voodoo Jürgens so likeable. That, and the feeling that you know exactly what he is talking about in his songs. Well, you do if you speak Viennese.

One of Enbridge Inc.'s (ENB - Free Report) pipelines in the Texas Eastern natural gas system in Kentucky is expected to restart services by the end of August, per Reuters. Notably, its 10, 15 and 25 Lines connect Danville and Tompkinsville compressors in Kentucky. In the beginning of the month, rupture of the 30-inch Line 15 resulted in a massive explosion, which killed one person and hospitalized five others. The explosion also destroyed several adjacent structures and railroad tracks.
The midstream giant intends to replace several portions of Lines 10 and 25 near the surrounding areas of the explosion site, and restart operations in Line 25 between Aug 24 and Aug 26. This will likely enable the company to transport 800 million cubic feet of natural gas per day through the area.
However, it requires regulatory approvals from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) for restarting operations in the pipelines. On Aug 8, PHMSA issued a corrective action order, which requires Enbridge to fulfil some duties before transporting gas through the site of the blast.
It expects the work on Line 10 to be concluded by the end of this month or beginning of September. The company intends to assess the full length of Line 15 that runs through Uniontown, PA to Kosciusko, MS.
Notably, in second-quarter 2019, the company's Gas Transmission and Midstream segment reported adjusted EBITDA of C$936 million, down from C$1,032 million a year ago. This downside can be attributed to lower contributions from the US Midstream business, owing to divestments, and other reasons.
Moreover, higher planned integrity expenditure in US Gas Transmission affected the segment. The recent affairs in the Texas Eastern natural gas system might further affect the segment's results in the third quarter.
Price Performance
Enbridge's shares have rallied 8.2% year to date, outperforming the 6.1% collective growth of the industry it belongs to.
Zacks Rank and Other Stocks to Consider
Currently, the stock carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Some other top-ranked stocks in the energy sector are given below:
NuStar Energy L.P. (NS - Free Report) is one of the largest independent liquids terminal and pipeline operators in the United States. Its third-quarter earnings per unit are expected to surge more than 100% year over year. It has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Pembina Pipeline Corp. (PBA - Free Report) operates as an energy transportation and service provider. Its full-year 2019 earnings per unit are expected to grow more than 15% year over year. The company has a Zacks Rank #2.
Plains Group Holdings, L.P. (PAGP - Free Report) is involved in the transportation, storage, terminalling, and marketing of crude oil and refined products. In the trailing four quarters, the company delivered average positive earnings surprise of almost 88.3%. It has a Zacks Rank #2.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.

The evil actors and corrupt cartoon characters at AIG are taking our money their bonuses whether Timothy F. Geithner, or anyone else— likes it or not. Because well, they have a "contract."
So. AIG wrote contracts that allowed their employees to be paid bonuses, even when the company is insolvent? Aren't bonuses tied to profit? How can they be tied to income from a government bailout? For every dollar we are forced to pay in bonuses, a dime should be set aside to investigate the illegal and unethical practices that put AIG in the shitter, and those gekko wannabes who even knew about it should be busting rocks for a living— at our insistence.

Russian energy major Rosneft is willing to play a role in developing the Azadegan Oilfield that is shared by Iran and Iraq, Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said.
"Rosneft has also negotiated with the National Iranian Oil Company to develop Yaran, Koupal and Maroun Oilfields in the southern province of Khuzestan via enhanced oil recovery methods," Zanganeh was quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency on Wednesday.
On the possibility of awarding Azadegan field's development project to an international consortium, Zanganeh said, "Forming a consortium of British, Japanese and French firms is likely, but Iranian exploration and production companies must be part of the plan."
Azadegan is located in the southwest of Khuzestan. The field's in-place oil is estimated at 33.2 billion barrels, of which 6 billion barrels are deemed recoverable. It is the biggest oilfield discovered in Iran over three decades.
According to Noureddin Shahnazizadeh, chief executive of Iran's Petroleum Engineering and Development Company (PEDEC), French energy major Total S.A. in addition to Anglo-Dutch multinational oil and gas company Royal Dutch Shell and Japan's Inpex are conducting technical studies on the field.
Rosneft is Russia's largest publicly traded petroleum company. The company's main activities include prospecting and exploration of hydrocarbon deposits, oil, gas and gas-condensate production, upstream offshore projects, processing, as well as oil, gas, and product marketing in and outside Russia.

We grow three varieties of grapes at Faulls Ridge Wine; Verdelho (white), Chambourcin (red) and Shiraz (red). Pruned in winter the grapes ripen over summer and are picked in January and February every year. Depending on the season, with these three varieties we usually make a Verdelho, Chambourcin, Shiraz and a Rose.
2018 Verdelho
This 2018 Verdelho has complex aromas of pear, fragrant herb, spice and lime. The palate has tropical notes with hints of honeydew with crisp acidity. This is a well-balanced wine in terms of its body and length and is extremely easy drinking.
2018 Phoenix Shiraz
This wine is an intense colour with complex aromas of plum, dark chocolate and dried herbs with a hint of black pepper and a touch of vanilla oak. The soft, delicate tannin lingers on the palate of this fruit dominant wine. The Phoenix Shiraz will age very well.
2018 Chambourcin
This lighter style of wine is a beautiful brick red colour. It has raspberry, red cherry and earthy beetroot flavours and a spicy dried herb aroma with an oak influence. The palate has soft tannin, savoury notes, is medium bodied and fruit dominant.
2018 Rose
This wine is a modern rose, with strawberry and cherry aromas and a hint of earthy characters. It has a crisp, light palate and is an easy drinking rose. This wine can be served chilled.
2019 Verdelho
This 2019 Verdelho is a p[ale straw-yellow colour which is bright and clear. The palate is medium bodied and very well balanced, bursting with tropical flavours of lemon, lime and watermelon with hints of spioce and herb characters which add to its crisp acidity.

Linode = SSDs + Insane network + Faster processors + Double the RAM + Hourly Billing via link
Linode just had an insane upgrade to its hardware and network. The upgrade cost about $45M. The good news is that the are no changes in pricing for the plans. The lowest starts at $20 per month.
The question is "will Digital Ocean(DO) be affected by this?", I would argue YES because 1. It is hard for DO to differentiate itself using SSD like they do in the past. 2. Lindoe listens to their customers. Developers like to compare services, often they do a Linode vs DO kind of articles, but many of the points that were mentioned in favor of DO are now available to Lindoe too. So this might results in some switches.
Although, DO does have the $5/mth plan that developers like to test and play around with but when it comes to production, it will be Lindoe for me.

Hi guys,
Understand that during the 40K major servicing, most of u did ur ATF servicing with C&C while the normal servicing outside. Becoz of the ATF fluid issues.
How do you all tell C&C or book an appoinment with them stating that you only want to do ATF servicing??
is there any other recommendations?
