The Importance of Celeb Carr Mesolithic Archaeological Internet site
To understand Music artist Carr, many of us most position the site in context while using larger Mesolithic landscape of england. Is Music artist Carr very important and if why am i? What information does Celebrity Carr show us of Mesolithic hunter records, and what performs this evidence would suggest. Along with all these questions most people most additionally look at the amount evidence there is for hunter gathers for Britain and what role Music artist Carr has in this evidence. Answering these kinds of questions coupled with, why there exists such restricted evidence in Britain to get Mesolithic hunter gathers is what this coursework will look within.
Star Carr which is positioned in The Pase of Pickering, Yorkshire, received the position of 'Type Site' right after J. Grams. D. Clark's excavations which in turn started in 1949. This condition placed on Music artist Carr ended up being mainly for ascertain organic storage, which is unique in any various other British Mesolithic site (Hunter & Ralston 2009). Often the preservation may be largely forked out to the damp environment when a lot of Clarks finds were definitely recorded from. The useful finds Clark recorded on Star Carr included: large amounts of flint (both worked well and waste), a birch wood stand on the lakes, ponds edge and lots of deer antler along with other dog remains. The very finds the actual importance of Music artist Carr undeniable although the way theses finds out got generally there and the reason for Star Carr is a varied argument (Clark 1954).can help me do my homework
Movie star Carr is possibly the most reinterpreted site in European History. The main parts of reinterpretation are most often firstly as well as arguably an important, which period was Celebrity Carr in fact occupied, the winter season or the summer time? Clark's primary interpretation of your evidence guided him to trust that the web page was a key base camp occupied by just four or five tourists during the winter weather. The lack of proof for seafood such as pike at Legend Carr which will of also been present in often the glacial pond Star Carr is situated close could doable show the fact that the site was used during the wintertime, as facts from The european countries suggests Mesolithic pike grinding was executed during the high season. This lack for evidence and also positive remaindings a large amount of Reddish colored deer antlers, approximately 102 mature stag antlers that were recovered on the site is exactly what strongly recommend a the winter season base go camping (Clark 1954). In contrast to that Legge & Rowley-Conway (1988) et ing suggest that the function about Star Carr may have been more specialised, for instance a hunting get away and not entertained by a overall family or possibly extended family but simply by five or six searchers.
The second most important argument seems to be of the performance of Star Carr. And the previously mentioned idea by Legge & Rowley-Conway, another examination for the large amounts of antler found at Starr Carr can be that Superstar Carr must have been a specialised economic site working hard both antlers for tools and fake tanning hides with regard to clothes. This could suggest that the antlers were being brought to the site to be did wonders and that Starr Carr is not really the get rid of site. In partnership with this hypothesis, the healing period of flows of birch bark, which is believed to about been used as a tanning agent would suggest it was the summer camping and not as Clark assumed a cold months one. The very warmer conditions would promote tanning practice as well as making the hides safer to work as the main deer would be carrying a lesser amount of fat which need to be stripped away from the covering by the predators (Pitts 1979). This principle seems to be an improved evaluation of your evidence as though the site ended up being either a basic camp hectic by a relatives or a searching camp it'd not be weird to find far more evidence of butcher shop and kitchen.
Clark credit reports evidence just for burning in the lake aspect vegetation. Among the list of theories with the burning in the lake section vegetation may have been for easy access to the liquid for canoes. This would enforce the idea of Star Carr as a specialised go camping, and the executed goods could have been moved across the lake to other settlement websites (Mellar & Dark 1998). If Clarks theory upon Star Carr is correct this will suggest that by burning often the vegetation the actual families in Star Carr were encouraging pray dogs close to the camping to eat the fresh growth, which makes them easy expectations. The evidence associated with a birch wooden platform at the lakes side also usually means a searching platform may very well be for finest flocking chickens, and this would likely also provide further data to Clark's theory on the winter camp out (Clark 1954). The importance of the woking platform at Movie star Carr will not be in question basically the purpose ?t had been built. The working platform is most of the evidence meant for wooden feinte from Mesolithic hunters on Britain (Adkins 2006).
The of a environmentally friendly food reference doesn't are in question during Star Carr. The evidence with regard to: wolf, deer, pig, beaver and even hedgehog were seen along with other continues and a choice is about birds such as grebes, quail, cranes together with storks (Clark 1954). Although this research does highly recommend a varied and maintainable food source which would take to supporting Clarks theory, them doesn't aid in the hot debate of equally which many weeks Star Carr was pre occupied or the principal function of your site.
In conjunction with these important debates several other aspects of Movie star Carr have in addition attracted changed theories. The particular duration which will Star Carr was in work with, plus considering the larger negotiation pattern for humans with Mesolithic The united kingdom and the position Star Carr plays in this article, as well as the complete area of settlement for the webpage. The hot debate has been put into since the further excavations that have been carried out concerning 1985 for you to 1997. The most important findings of this excavation was to present that the profession at Movie star Carr had been spread over a significantly larger place than Clark thought (Mellar& Dark 1998). This research plus the different type of dates extracted from the new excavation, (10, 600 to diez, 400 BP compared to Clarks original go out with of 9488 plus or simply minus 350 BP) demonstrate a difference on the thousand several years, do claim that Star Carr is still not fully fully understood and will always keep posing even more questions compared to giving responses.
To look at Movie star Carr began offering rebates the larger photo of Mesolithic hunter records in The united kingdom and examine the confirms may recommend possible answers to some in the questions adjacent Star Carr. The main concern is the reasonably limited amount of sites to compare through Star Carr. One doable site is Thatcham within the Kennet Vale in Berkshire. This site may perhaps be useful in the form of comparison towards Star Carr as topographically the predicaments are similar; either sites use the margins of old lakes. From the range of combinaison recovered out of Thatcham many similarities sometimes appears, red deer, wild this halloween along with elk and outdoors bird continues were all of recovered through both sites. A major variance between Celebrity Carr and also Thatcham is in Thatcham difficult very little solid wood and antler artefacts uncovered, especially proved helpful pieces by using barbed areas. This could declare that whilst these websites are similar in date and even situation that they had different performs (Hunter & Ralston 2009). The limitations intended for comparisons in order to Star Carr add to the confusion of comprehending Star Carr.
Although there lots of theories why we have located little evidence of Mesolithic seeker gathers within Britain, that include we exploring in the incorrect places or perhaps most of the deals were coast and the evidence has been displaced due to seaside erosion, In my opinion by looking with the indidunous tribes of The usa may give an additional possible reply to. These provider of food gather tribes have endured for centuries causing little or no signs on the panorama. There nomadic lifestyle wi9th temporary camp only still left the occasional fire bowl as data they were at any time there. The particular burial ceremonies of a few of these tribes could also not possible be clearly accessible to archaeology today. The actual practise of cremating the exact dead in rocky available crops would probably leave small structural information as the timbers were generally wedged amongst rocks without placed in pits. The evidence from the burning is also lost by means of natural erosion of the ordinary surface have been the evidence would definitely of been recently present. In the event hunter records existed around Britain by using a similar lifestyle, the possibility of getting much in the event that any proof other than online websites like Star Carr is not likely. This can elevate the significance of existing web sites which includes Superstar Carr within the Mesolithic scenery of Britain.
To conclude the elevation of the need for Star Carr seems in some part for being because of the minimal evidence across Britain for every settlements connected with Mesolithic finder gathers. This specific fact and also differing studies on Legend Carr on its own most site some distress over the great need of Star Carr in Mesolithic Britain. Following saying this kind of, there is no frustration over the great need of Star Carr as a individual site for your archaeological track record of Britain, in case Star Carr is a 'type site' we will only discover if more evidence can be found throughout Britain and if you can find ever an arrangement over the function of Movie star Carr.

About 4 o'clock, we got the word, "Sorry to keep you waiting. The weather has cleared now. Please hurry." We landed three hours later in Sian, ancient capital and cultural center of China. Here, more than two thousand years ago, the first emperors ruled by the Mandate of Heaven over the Middle Kingdom, which the Chinese re garded as the center of the earth. Masterpieces of enduring art and literature were created in Sian during the golden T'ang Dynasty (A.D. 618-906). It was a cosmopolitan city of travelers, merchants, and people of many faiths Confucians, Buddhists, Taoists, and even Christians and Moslems. Aside from great museums tucked away in temples or behind earthen gar den walls, I saw few traces of Sian's glorious past. But its Communist present was much in evidence when we visited one of the brigades of a commune near Sian. The chairman, Liu Shu-chen, who had a weather-beaten face and shaven head, welcomed us. "There are 11 administrative units, or brigades, in this commune," he said. "This brigade consists of five villages. We have seven production teams, 356 households, and 1,812 members. We have 2,750 mou of land [about 460 acres]. Before the liberation there were 49 households here. Four were land lords and the other 45 were poor peasants. Thirteen of these families were forced to sell their children as slaves and servants. Seven families became beggars and seven other families died out completely. "In 1949 we became the masters.

2016 M. Chapoutier Côtes du Rhône Belleruche, France, Rhone, Wine Review
This is a go to wine at parties, weddings, etc. as it is often served due to its low price. It retails for around $13 and is an exceptional value. Of course, in great vintages, it is usually even better and 2016 is another great vintage. Purple in color. The nose has boysenberries, dark cherries, charcoal and pepper. On the palate, there is some fruit here but this is not a fruity wine. It has nice fruit with an underlying minerals/earthy streak and good balance. Works well with a wide variety of food. Drinks easy but has some interest and depth.

Hopefully, people who may not know who he is or are not familiar with his act will do some homework so they are not shocked by what they may hear. I never understood why people were so shocked by Joan Rivers. Didn't they know who she was or what her act was like? Amazing to me.
Can't wait to see Lewis Black this week. Love his rants on politics.
I just pre-ordered Carol's book on Amazon. They now show the cover - very cute.
I was interested in this book too, but then I saw the pre-order for Carol's book about the show, which comes out in Sept. So I may wait to see if anyone reports on this book before I get it.
Jones Bakery, which was across the street from the original museum on Pine St., moved into the museum building for a while before moving to Main St. and is now Jones Valhalla Restaurant. Gialy's is a new restaurant that is in the building next door to the original museum building on Pine (in the building that used to be The Town Club) and their food is very good.
I believe that Joy's new show on TLC begins on Nov. 4th and it is a half-hour weekly show that is on at 11:00 PM. It is called "Late Night Joy" and I believe that it is filmed at her NYC apartment and she, along with Susie Essman, are visited by a celebrity quest for a 30 minute gabfest. It is initially a 5 show order to see if it will work. If you Google news for Joy Behar, articles about it should come up. Sounds interesting. Joy didn't mention it, but I saw it on Facebook just a couple of days before her show here.
Joy Behar was hysterical on Sat. night at the Reg Lenna Civic Center. The bit about not knowing where she was was part of a series of jokes about her being old and forgetful. But in true Post-Journal fashion, they left that out. The opening act guy was pretty funny, but Joy was great! She dished on her View co-hosts (a riot), politics (of course and so much material there), being Italian, taking trips, etc. It was non-stop laughter. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the "meet and greet" after the show and have my picture taken with Joy. She autographed her "Joy Shtick" book for me and was kind enough to autograph her children's book (about a dog) to my sister and my dog, since my sister had to miss the show to stay home and watch over our dog, who was attacked and bitten by the neighbor's dog this past week. Joy felt bad and made sure to include them in the autograph, which was very nice of her. It was a terrific evening and rounded out a great triple play of comedy this summer - Seinfeld, Carol Burnett and now Joy. She has a new show coming on TLC in November and will also be appearing at Chautauqua next summer.

Carol Burnett at CHAUTAUQUA in August!
Dubarry31 replied to leenorman's topic in The Poultry Growers Annual BallIn a word - FANTASTIC! Carol Burnett was just wonderful last night. The amphitheater was packed and it holds about 6,000 people. We were squeezed in like sardines, but no one seemed to mind. I had a decent spot and wasn't stuck behind a post (which was my biggest worry). She did 90 minutes of Q & A with the audience that was broken up by many video clips from her show. She had a lot of stories about her co-stars and told of her friendship with Lucy. She is still very quick with the answers too. When one woman asked her about her beauty secrets, she said it was staying 100 yards away from us. Another guy asked her what she would like to do that she hadn't done yet and she said "George Clooney." The clips were great - the classic dentist sketch was used to illustrate Tim Conway's power over the helpless Harvey Korman, many of the movie parodies were featured and some of the musical quests as well. It was nicely structured so that Carol could rest her voice without actually having an intermission. She could stay on the darkened stage while the clips played. I was especially glad that Chautauqua did not do what they are known to do and that is place the guest in a chair and then have a moderator ask questions that have been gathered from the audience before hand. That way they can control what gets asked and keep control on the situation. That would not have been nearly as much fun as letting Carol do what she does so well - interact with the audience that clearly loves her.
LucyFest 2015
Dubarry31 replied to leenorman's topic in The Poultry Growers Annual BallGreat photos from all the events. I was working and could only attend Seinfeld. He was great. This was my third time seeing him and this was by far his best show! And I was expecting an unknown comic for the opener and was pleasantly surprised that it was Larry Miller. I saw both Jerry and Larry in the same week at Chautauqua in the 1980s (when they were relative unknowns). So that was a treat. I was in the second row for Jerry's show, but of course I did not bring my camera. If anyone has good photos that wouldn't mind emailing me copies of, I would appreciate it. I can send my email in a private message. Thanks. Anyone returning to town for Carol Burnett in a couple of weeks?

Lucy covers this week's Closer magazine
Dubarry31 replied to Brock's topic in The Danfield TribuneCloser has been around for about a year and is geared towards the older reader, which is why I buy it every week. When they show a fashion spread, at least I actually know the actresses featured. The have had recent stories on Marlon Brando, Doris Day, Cher and other "mature" stars. Valerie Harper has been featured a number of times with health updates. For a "tabloid" style magazine, it is pretty good because it tries to focus on positive stories.
When I clicked on the photo, it enlarged.
Wasn't sure where to post this, but this photo of a scale model of the I Love Lucy set was recently posted on a film group page on Facebook that I follow. Thought members here would be interested in seeing it, but I don't know how clear it will be.

I can't believe that Jerry is coming here. I have seen him perform three times and he is great. My favorite stand-up comedian. And then I just find out today that another of my favorites is going to be appearing a couple of weeks later out at Chautauqua Institution - Carol Burnett. Glad I didn't pay a fortune and make the trip to that dinner at the Jimmy Stewart Museum a few months ago. Now she will only be 16 miles away! LOL
A Trip to Jamestown
Dubarry31 replied to Annaleigh's topic in The Poultry Growers Annual BallI can tell you a little about getting to Jamestown by train as I used to do that years ago when I first moved here. There is a train station here, but is not on the Amtrak line. The nearest Amtrak stations are in Erie, PA (about 45 minute drive from here) and in Buffalo. There are 2 stations in Buffalo. One is downtown and one in Depew (just outside of Buffalo). Not sure about how it works now, but there used to be bus service between Buffalo and Jamestown that included a stop at the train station. Plus the Buffalo bus station is only a short walk to the downtown train station as well. I used to take the bus to Buffalo and connect with my train to visit home in central NY or to often take the train to NYC. I don't like to fly, so the train has always been my preferred method of transportation.

Wedding Section
Added a category dedicated to Weddings to the site. Las Vegas is a very interesting place when it comes to getting married. Lots of people contact me about wedding photos here, but no one actually needs a photographer for the ceremony. Most couples getting married in Vegas do so in a casino, or chapel, and they are very strict about photography inside the property. They also make you pay for some kind of package that includes whoever they have to do the photos. So what I get contacted for is the before and after. Getting ready, going out to the various Las Vegas landmarks, receptions and just general cool shots around town are very common requests. I actually really enjoy these, as it lets me be creative.

Accelerating Connectivity in the Age of Startups
Danny Abrahantes | SEP 20, 2018
Startups aren't trendy—although there is a cultural belief that building your own company from the ground up is "what's in" at the moment, there's a lot of work that goes into successfully creating your vision and implementing in the real world. At Co.Accelerator, it is known that real success only comes from being in tune with what your founders and their customers need. The ideas fostered at the birth of a company are as important as the opportunities that will reveal themselves as it grows. Growth comes from traditional goals, but it is maintained by real companies and their willingness to be innovative and bold that accentuates them in the modern era.
Co.Accelerator has a founders-first mentality, because a company belongs in the hands of those who have its best interest. In fact, support in all aspects is what keeps everything running smoothly, placing a sturdy foundation for the present and setting the standard for the future. Through collaboration, mutual brainstorming, and constant connectivity, the startups are more than just a group of companies—they are links in a chain, seeking to change the community, and themselves, for the better. The following three focal points help the directors monitor and appreciate that change:
Wellness – A crucial part of a business is the strength of its leader finding their balance and support, which comes naturally from their own health and wellness.
Partnering with local health and wellness resources, one of which being Gertner Grind by Danielle Gertner, the founders are engaged in a moving component that typically consists of weekly bootcamp classes to keep their physical health at the forefront of their mind.
Mental health is also undeniably important, and two meditation times a day are offered where founders can get back to the vision that is so easily lost in all the busy noise.
Beyond individual health, the health of the actual company is considerably important. That's why for the startups themselves, Co.Accelerator doesn't want to just throw their founders in an open pool of mentors, as every company has its own needs and desires. They make a conscious effort to spend time and truly understand the needs of each startup when pairing the perfect mentor for them, making sure their preferences aren't just matched, but personalized.
Unity – It's no secret that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts—that's why the cohort is organically stronger together, supporting each other and nurturing success equally for every company.
The foundation of a business needs to be understood clearly by promoters and expressed efficiently to future clients. Through occasional pitching sessions, founders learn what to say and for what audience. They are encouraged to participate, gaining feedback from other companies and providing their own as well.
Held every month by Co.Accelerator mentor Collin Austin, a CEO roundtable will facilitate transparency for the CEOs, allowing them to grow closer to their group through complete honesty and accountability. What is said here stays here; every leader takes risks, but now they can map out their choices in a judgement-free zone.
Co.Accelerator understands that play is often times as necessary as work, and people are more than just the businesses they run; besides having unity in achieving their career aspirations, they are unified as people. Occasional cohort outings give the founders the chance to express themselves, talk about the future, and connect on a different level, stimulating something that is typically lost in the workplace: friendship.
Diversity – To fully appreciate unity, however, each individual part of the machine must be admired and supported for what it brings to the table. The cohort is full of unique goals and ideas, comprised of founders from different backgrounds, ages, and experience levels. LiveGreen, a proactive carbon footprint neutralization effort, works alongside aha Pure Foods, focusing on plant-based health foods. When approached correctly, these differences inspire creativity.
Bi-weekly, the companies will be scheduled to have one on one time with the director to further assure the founders that their needs are the cohort's needs. With every need being diverse in nature, companies learn what to expect for themselves and for others. This also helps Co.Accelerator ensure that every company is receiving the proper, fitting resources.
Weekly, two companies from the cohort will work together to solve a challenge proposed by a fellow cohort member within the Co.Accelerator. Meeting with Creative Strategist Lauren Hemingway, members will use these Design Sprint Collaborations to gain new insight through facilitated group conversation. With each company having very distinct obstacles, weekly topics are varying in weight and content.
Co.Accelerator's program made of these, and many other, resources aims to be more than just an ambitious cohort; it aims to be traditional, but still innovative, and always driven. Perhaps this is why the cohort has doubled in size in just four months, already serving as an example to startups yet to exist. When there is a focus on the elements that bring everyone together, that's one step closer to a more connected tomorrow.

Greg Ross, once a close friend and adviser of Spano's, testified that Spano and his business associate John LaGiglio set up an insurance business to defraud the Town of Cicero.
Spano's attorney, Alexander Salerno, asked Ross why, in interviews with federal agents in 1998, he didn't tell authorities about Spano's role in the company.
"You told us how [the insurance company] was formed and who got the idea, and you never said [to the agents] Mr. Spano had anything to do with that," Salerno said.
The company, Specialty Risk Consultants, handled insurance claims for town employees from 1992 until 1997.
Prosecutors allege that, with the approval of town officials, the firm stole $10 million from the town by inflating fees and charges.
In 1995, Spano asked Ross if he wanted to purchase Specialty Risk, which was in some financial trouble, according to Ross' testimony.
Ross said he didn't want the company, but thought of purchasing it and acting as a front man for Spano.
Salerno again brought up what he indicated were discrepancies in Ross' version of the deal as told to the jury and the version he gave to federal agents in 1998.
"You never said you were going to be a manager for Mr. Spano Sr.," Salerno asked. "That was a lie?"
"It was an omission," Ross responded.
Over his four days of testimony, Ross implicated all but one defendant, former town Treasurer Joseph DeChicio, in the alleged scheme.
Ross pleaded guilty to racketeering and tax conspiracy earlier this year.
In return for his testimony prosecutors will recommend a reduced sentence.

When legendary Red Sox hitter Ted Williams died on July 5, 2002, newspapers reviewed the stats, compared him to other legends of the game, and declared him the greatest hitter who ever lived. Richard Ben Cramer, Pulitzer Prize winner and acclaimed biographer of Joe DiMaggio, decodes this oversized icon who dominated the game and finds not just a great player, but also a great man.
In 1986, Richard Ben Cramer spent months on a profile of Ted Williams, and the result was the Esquire article that has been acclaimed ever since as one of the finest pieces of sports reporting ever written. Given special acknowledgment in The Best American Sportswriting of the Century and adapted for a coffee-table book called Ted Williams: The Seasons of the Kid, the original piece is now available in this special edition, with new material about Williams's later years. While his decades after Fenway Park were out of the spotlight -- the way Ted preferred it -- they were arguably his richest, as he loved and inspired his family, his fans, the players, and the game itself. This is a remembrance for the ages.
Richard Ben Cramer (1950-2013) won the Pulitzer Prize for Middle East reporting in 1979. His journalism has appeared in Time, Newsweek, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, and Rolling Stone. He is the author of How Israel Lost: The Four Questions and the classic of modern American politics What It Takes: The Way to the White House.

AbstractBats account for one-fifth of mammalian species, are the only mammals with powered flight, and are among the few animals that echolocate. The insect-eating Brandt's bat (Myotis brandtii) is the longest-lived bat species known to date (lifespan exceeds 40 years) and, at 4–8 g adult body weight, is the most extreme mammal with regard to disparity between body mass and longevity. Here we report sequencing and analysis of the Brandt's bat genome and transcriptome, which suggest adaptations consistent with echolocation and hibernation, as well as altered metabolism, reproduction and visual function. Unique sequence changes in growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptors are also observed. The data suggest that an altered growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1 axis, which may be common to other long-lived bat species, together with adaptations such as hibernation and low reproductive rate, contribute to the exceptional lifespan of the Brandt's bat.

Finding Your self an Extraordinary Evening Gown4933796
When invited to attend a special evening function, you should clearly seem in a fabulous gown so as to attract the interest of all the other guests present.
Your evening gown should match properly with regard to size, tailoring and overall style as any gown that is over-sized or ill-fitting will make you look clumsy and at occasions, even comical.
Your evening gown should be of a distinct style and pleasing color that adds grace to your personality. If you are a teenager, it is preferable that you avoid ruffles and bows as they may at occasions look flippant and will not convey the accurate charm of your face and body figure.
It is important that neckline is suitable and compliment the shape of your face and the delicacy of your neck. You should scrupulously avoid plunging necklines, excessive exposure of the cleavage, backless and overly short gowns. If you have prominent breasts and want to highlight it, you can opt for a V-neck dress.
Nevertheless, a formal gown must appear not provocative but wholly respectable and of either knee length or floor length depending on your height and professionally tailored with out any wrinkles.
One of the easiest methods to identify the right evening gown is to browse on-line and you will find the shops that offer a plethora of well tailored gowns of every size, shape and style. But before beginning to shop, you should note down your physical measurements and important statistics.
It would be nonetheless preferable an skilled tailor or a fashion professional does the measurement. Make certain that when measured you should be wearing your undergarments and the lingerie under the gown you are wearing.
The kind of gown you choose should go nicely with the nature of the event you will be attending. A light cotton evening gown would be appropriate for an outdoor event throughout summer months, whereas a lengthy sophisticated silk or velvet gown of a dark shade would be the correct choice for any grand event throughout cold weather.
As with any evening gown, various designs are there to suit different body shapes. Consider you very best physical features, and attempt to flaunt them to grab attention. For instance, if your arms are your very best asset, opt for a strapless evening gown or one with narrow straps. If your legs are much more attractive, go for shorter gowns.
Your choice of gown should also depend on the formality of the event. If it is a formal occasion and you are going to be in the midst of conservative individuals, you should think about covering up your shoulders and upper component of your body. Otherwise you can seem sexy to an extent with side split or side cuts gowns that show off more skin.
Pay special attention to the texture and quality of the fabric and make sure it is rich but not gaudy. Most evening gowns are now made from synthetic materials as they are cheaper and do not crumple. It should be perfectly in order even if you choose an evening gown made of synthetic material. Another important factor when selecting the perfect evening gown is picking one of the right colors. Some inappropriate colors can spoil your looks, making you look pale and lifeless.

I love that I'm not just re-telling a story but I first-hand witnessed those moments. Through my editing process, I take 1/800th of a second, tweak the vibrance, nudge the shadows, and clean the blemishes so my clients and their loved ones can relive those memories in a beautiful way.
For example: The bride has a grandfather dear to her heart and after dinner I see him making his way to the bride. Across the room near the dance floor she's occupied, greeting her loved ones. She's staying put and I see the grandfather slowly making his way with his cane. He's most likely going to meet her where she is so I put myself in the perfect position to get both of them in a good light and I wait… Then, when he finally gets to the bride he lovingly embraces her. At this point I'm already 7 clicks in and I capture him whispering something to her that makes her tear up and smile. Now, I have no idea what's been said and she may even have forgotten as well but when she see's that picture years later, she'll remember the emotion of that moment.

Santa FE, May 27(AP/UNB) — Murray Gell-Mann, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who brought order to the universe by helping discover and classify subatomic particles, has died at the age of 89.
Gell-Mann died Friday at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His death was confirmed by the Santa Fe Institute, where he held the title of distinguished fellow, and the California Institute of Technology, where he taught for decades. The cause was not disclosed.
Gell-Mann transformed physics by devising a method for sorting subatomic particles into simple groups of eight — based on electric charge, spin and other characteristics. He called his method the "eightfold way" after the Buddhist Eightfold Path to enlightenment.
Later Gell-Man developed the theory that identified "quarks," indivisible components of Earth's matter that make up protons, neutrons and other particles. Experiments confirmed the existence of quarks, and these objects now form the basis for our physical understanding of the universe, Caltech said in a statement.
"It would be hard to overestimate the degree to which Murray dominated theoretical particle physics during his heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. He contributed so many deep ideas that drove the field forward, many of which are just as relevant today," said John Preskill, the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech.
In 1969, Gell-Man was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physics "for his contributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles and their interactions."
Born and raised in New York City, Gell-Man received his bachelor's degree in physics from Yale University in 1948 and his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1951.
In later years, Gell-Mann became interested in the issues of complexity at the heart of biology, ecology, sociology, and computer science. He co-founded the Santa Fe Institute to study complex systems and authored the 1994 book "The Quark and the Jaguar" to present his ideas to a general audience.
He is survived by his children Nicholas Gell-Mann and Elizabeth Gell-Mann; and stepson Nicholas Southwick Levis, according to the Caltech statement.
San Francisco, May 24 (AP/UNB) — Facebook removed more than 3 billion fake accounts from October to March, twice as many as the previous six months, the company said Thursday.
Nearly all of them were caught before they had a chance to become "active" users of the social network.
In a new report, Facebook said it saw a "steep increase" in the creation of abusive, fake accounts. While most of these fake accounts were blocked "within minutes" of their creation, the use of computers to generate millions of accounts at a time meant not only that Facebook caught more of the fake accounts, but that more of them slipped through.
As a result, the company estimates that 5% of its 2.4 billion monthly active users are fake accounts, or about 119 million. This is up from an estimated 3% to 4% in the previous six-month report.
The increase shows the challenges Facebook faces in removing accounts created by computers to spread spam, fake news and other objectionable material. Even as Facebook's detection tools get better, so do the efforts by the creators of these fake accounts.
The new numbers come as the company grapples with challenge after challenge, ranging from fake news to Facebook's role in elections interference, hate speech and incitement to violence in the U.S., Myanmar, India and elsewhere.
Facebook also said Thursday that it removed 7.3 million posts, photos and other material because it violated its rules against hate speech. That's up from 5.4 million in the prior six months.
The company said it found more than 65 percent of hate speech on its own, before people reported it, during the first three months of 2019. That's an improvement from 52 percent in the third quarter of 2018.
Facebook is under growing pressure to combat hate on its platform, as material continues to slip through even with recent bans of popular extremist figures such as Alex Jones and Louis Farrakhan.
Facebook employs thousands of people to review posts, photos, comments and videos for violations. Some things are also detected without humans, using artificial intelligence. Both humans and AI make mistakes and Facebook has been accused of political bias as well as ham-fisted removals of posts discussing — rather than promoting — racism.
A thorny issue for Facebook is its lack of procedures for authenticating the identities of those setting up accounts. Only in instances where a user has been booted off the service and won an appeal to be reinstated does it ask to see ID documents.
While some have argued for stricter authentication on social media services, the issue is thorny. People including U.N. free expression rapporteur David Kaye say it's important to allow pseudonymous speech online for human rights activists and others whose lives could otherwise be endangered.
Dipayan Ghosh, a former Facebook employee and White House tech policy adviser who is currently a Harvard fellow, said absent greater transparency from Facebook there is no way of knowing whether its improved automated detection is doing a better job of containing the disinformation problem.
"We lack public transparency into the scale of disinformation operations on Facebook in the first place," he said.
And even if just 5 million accounts escaped through the cracks, Ghosh added, how much hate speech and disinformation are they spreading through bots "that subvert the democratic process by injecting chaos into our political discourse?"
"The only way to address this problem in the long term is for government to intervene and compel transparency into these platform operations and privacy for the end consumer," he said.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has called for government regulation to decide what should be considered harmful content and on other issues. But at least in the U.S., government regulation of speech could run into First Amendment hurdles.
And what regulation might look like — and whether the companies, lawmakers, privacy and free speech advocates and others will agree on what it should look like — is not clear.
Of the 3.4 billion accounts removed in the six-month period, 1.2 billion came during the fourth quarter of 2018 and 2.2 billion during the first quarter of this year. More than 99 percent of these were disabled before someone reported them to the company. In the April-September period last year, Facebook blocked 1.5 billion accounts.
Facebook attributed the spike in the removed accounts to "automated attacks by bad actors who attempt to create large volumes of accounts at one time." The company declined to say where these attacks originated, only that they were from different parts of the world.
Starting with this report, Facebook is disclosing how it deals with the sale of "regulated goods" — that is, drugs and firearms. Facebook prohibits the purchase, sale or gifting of firearms, as well as drugs including marijuana, which is legal in some states and countries. The company said it "took action" on 1.5 million cases involving drugs and 1.4 million involving firearms. This generally means removing the material from Facebook but can also involve suspending users or adding warning screens to videos showing objectionable content.
Dhaka, May 23 (UNB)- Huawei Technologies (Bangladesh) Ltd. has donated necessary equipment to PFDA-Vocational Training Center for special children.
Zhang Zhengjun, CEO, Huawei Technologies (Bangladesh) Ltd. handed over these equipment to the school authority at a program arranged by the authority on Thursday.
Social Welfare Minister Nuruzzaman Ahmed, MP, as the chief guest, inaugurated the ceremony in the presence of Sajida Rahman Danny, Chairman of PFDA-Vocational Training Center and Huawei officials.
Through this event Huawei handed over Ultra Sound therapy (UST), Ultra red radiation (IRR), Short wave diathermy (SWD), Short wave diathermy (SWD), Electrical muscle stimulator (EMS), Traction machine (Pelvic and cervical traction) with bed and other equipment to PFDA-Vocational Training Center.
This equipment will help this institute as well as the students to take immediate physical aids in emergencies. Students will get necessary physiotherapy for their wellbeing. CCTV cameras will help the teachers as well as authority to understand not only the behavioral pattern students but also find the root cause of any sudden behavior of them. In parallel these equipment will help to avoid any kind of potential risk as well.
"To help the special children, both public and private organizations should work hand in hand. And Huawei and PFDA-Vocational Training Center today are setting a great example with that inspiration," said the minister.
Salem, May 23 (AP/UNB) — Over the span of two years, a Chinese national in Oregon sent devices that looked like iPhones to Apple, saying they wouldn't turn on and should be replaced under warranty. He didn't just submit a couple of the devices -- he delivered in person or shipped to Apple around 3,000 of them.
Apple responded by sending almost 1,500 replacement iPhones, each with an approximate resale value of $600.
But the devices that Quan Jiang sent Apple were fake.
Jiang, 30, a former engineering student at a community college in Albany, Oregon, pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to trafficking in counterfeit goods, the U.S. Attorney's office in Portland announced.
The presence of fake iPhones and other high-tech gadgets has become an issue in global resale markets, with some counterfeit versions operating so well it's hard for users to tell the difference between them and the genuine products. But in the Oregon case, the makers of the thousands of fake phones apparently didn't even have to bother with having working operating systems.
An Apple official quoted by Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Thomas Duffy in a court document exposed a vulnerability that Jiang exploited.
"Submission of an iPhone that will not power on is critical to perpetuating iPhone warranty fraud, as the phone will not be able to be immediately examined or repaired by Apple technicians, triggering the Apple iPhone replacement process as part of its product warranty policy," Duffy wrote, quoting Apple brand protection representative Adrian Punderson.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Portland said Jiang would import the counterfeit devices from Hong Kong and submit them to Apple using various assumed names. The genuine replacement phones Jiang received would be sold in China. Jiang's associate would pay Jiang's mother, who lives in China, who then deposited the money into Jiang's bank account.
Jiang received packages containing between 20 and 30 counterfeit iPhones from associates in Hong Kong between Jan. 1, 2016, and Feb. 1, 2018, according to court documents.
Apple realized something was amiss as early as June 30, 2017, when its legal counsel sent Jiang a "cease and desist" letter to an address in Corvallis where 150 warranty claims emanated. The lawyers said the company knew he was importing counterfeit Apple products, according to Duffy's affidavit. Jiang didn't respond, so the Apple lawyers sent a second letter.
Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the case.
Apple rejected 1,576 warranty claims associated with Jiang, Duffy said. The 1,493 claims that resulted in replacement iPhones being delivered by Apple represented an $895,000 loss to the Cupertino, California-based company, Duffy wrote.
Brad Bench, who heads the Homeland Security Investigations office in Seattle, said in a statement that trafficking in counterfeit goods hurts the economy, legitimate businesses, and impact consumers directly.
Jiang faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a $2 million fine or twice his proceeds, whichever is greater, when he is sentenced on Aug. 28. Under a plea agreement, the U.S. Attorney's office will recommend a prison sentence of three years, at least $200,000 in restitution to Apple.
And Jiang must forfeit his black 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 coupe.
New York, May 23 (AP/UNB) — Are the female voices behind Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa amplifying gender bias around the world?
The United Nations thinks so.
A report released Wednesday by the UN's culture and science organization raises concerns about what it describes as the "hardwired subservience" built into default female-voiced assistants operated by Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
The report is called "I'd Blush If I Could." It's a reference to an answer Apple's Siri gives after hearing sexist insults from users. It says it's a problem that millions of people are getting accustomed to commanding female-voiced assistants that are "servile, obedient and unfailingly polite," even when confronted with harassment from humans.
The agency recommends tech companies stop making digital assistants female by default and program them to discourage gender-based insults and abusive language.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Paris... so familiar and yet surprising. In pastel shades and dazzling details like the palette of French Impressionism, Serge Ramelli presents a unique and personal photo homage to the City of Lights. With romance and history in her blood, Paris shows her tender side as never seen before.
Only Paris offers the inimitable stage that can turn every photo into a film still. In its architectural splendor, its wealth of churches, palaces, parks, and grand boulevards, the city is peerless in its beauty and allure. Add to that a long, rich, and influential history, and this coveted capital is art in its purest form.
From the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, to Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Pres--the traces of painters and photographers and echoes of actors and movie directors can be found all over the city. In this exquisite Paris photo book, Serge Ramelli pays tribute to this unique legacy of art and culture, capturing the city's poetic flair. As in vintage postcards, with glowing street lights or only certain details in color in a black and white panorama, Ramelli accentuates particular picture elements to create a modern, 3D effect, while retaining a close connection to Parisian history.
Vivid in one's memory or perhaps imagination, Ramelli collects rapturous moments with his camera--a brilliant firework display in front of the Eiffel Tower or the sight of the Pont Neuf amidst freshly fallen snow. In the beguiling blue hour, or a nuit (the magical light at sunrise and sunset), the photographer shows a kaleidoscope along the Seine that will delight all who have lived and loved in Paris.

This is a message to leaders, supervisors, managers, head honchos and the like who have a workplace where food is brought in either by caterers, restaurants, or employees themselves.
Right off the bat, I'm not suggesting you prohibit donut days, the monthly employee birthday cake celebration, or start any hardcore food rules in the workplace that interfere with the people's right to choose how to live their lives.
However, I do want to spread a message for inspiring change and to encourage you to serve as a "food role model" in your office environment.
There's no question that one's food choices and patterns can make a difference in:
ability to concentrate
energy level
weight management
risk for disease onset
management of current medical conditions or disease states (progression of disease, medical/medication expenses, medical procedures, etc.)
You may not have connected the dots, but all of the above can and does affect the productivity of your team. And you, as a leader.
Hey, I know it's not all about the bottom line, productivity, and financials (thank you to Simon Sinek). Food certainly is a connector, a way to build and maintain our social connectedness. In the simple words of Monika Jiang, "Good food is valuable, important and, in particular: it creates a feeling of unity and belonging."
So, what would happen if you made steps towards changing the food culture in your workplace environment? YOU. The leader. Could it change your team's energy to put towards creativity and efficiency? What about a heightened sense of togetherness and of feeling valued? What about the potential to improve the health of your team, for the short- and long-term?
It all sounds pretty good to me. And the cool thing is doesn't require weirdo office food rules or kale eating contests. It can happen with small changes that are fun, supportive, and best of all, tasty.
More on this topic to come. In the meantime, if you're motivated to make change, kudos to you. Contact the Nutrition Mechanic and let's do this.

WASHINGTON, June 18. /TASS/. The United States is sending 1,000 additional troops to the Middle East after last week's attacks on the two tankers in the Gulf of Oman, US Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan said in a statement on Monday.
"In response to a request from the US Central Command (CENTCOM) for additional forces, and with the advice of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and in consultation with the White House, I have authorized approximately 1,000 additional troops for defensive purposes to address air, naval, and ground-based threats in the Middle East," Shanahan said.
"The recent Iranian attacks validate the reliable, credible intelligence we have received on hostile behavior by Iranian forces and their proxy groups that threaten United States personnel and interests across the region," he added.
"The United States does not seek conflict with Iran. The action today is being taken to ensure the safety and welfare of our military personnel working throughout the region and to protect our national interests," he noted.
"We will continue to monitor the situation dilligently and make adjustments to force levels as necessary given intelligence reporting and credible threats," Shanahan concluded.
On June 13, two tankers caught fire in the Gulf of Oman after an attack. The crews, with Russian nationals among their members, were evacuated by the Iranian rescue services and taken to the port of Jask. US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said that Iran is responsible for the attacks. Tehran has denied any involvement in the incident.
The Kokuka Courageous tanker, registered in Panama and owned by a Japanese transport company, was carrying methanol from Saudi Arabia to Singapore. The Marshall Islands-flagged Front Altair vessel, owned by Norway's Frontline, was sailing from the United Arab Emirates to Taiwan with petrochemical feedstock.

For beginner outdoors chefs and guys buying their first smoker, that's an invaluable bit of knowledge. Knowing that no matter what you do, as long as you follow the standard set up, you're going to produce professional quality meat with ease, which is why smokers like the ones below are the best choice for anyone looking at buying their first pellet smoker.
Traeger Pro Series 34 - Nowhere in the advertisements nor the website nor the owner's manual does it let the customer know that in order to prevent stall out's while cooking at low temperatures (250) that the hopper must be stirred every hour and a half or so to prevent gaps in the feed of the pellets. We lost a very nice cut of meat to this after having to get up in the middle of the night to check on the cooking at a temperature of 250 degrees (which had stalled again, leaving the grill and the meat cold). This is the second time using the grill.
Cleaning/Maintenance: The grease catcher on this flat top is pretty decent. It is located on the bottom left hand side and all the oil/grease gets caught without anything dripping elsewhere. I usually wipe the grease catcher's orifice down with a paper towel to ensure it does not get clogged up over time. Other flat-top grills have either grease catchers that drip onto the leg of the grill or have them in the back of the flat top which is a little inconvenient getting to. As for cleaning after every use, I use a stainless steel scrapper/chopper to wipe the grill clean after I am done cooking. I scrape everything down into the grease catcher. For saucy foods or foods that might stick to the flat top, I use water when the grill is still hot to scrape it off and send it to the grease catcher. Afterwards, I put a little bit of oil onto the flat top and spread it all over using paper towels to maintain the seasoning before putting the cover on. Total clean-up time and re-seasoning takes roughly 3 minutes.
DS, I have a green mountain grill. besides that for any pellet smoker cook your chicken at a high heat otherwise the skin will be rubbery. doesnt have to be a direct flame to get it crispy. I set my GMG to 425 flip it after 8 mins pull it at 170 crispy perfection. if you want more smoke flavor, smoke it at 150 for an hour then crank it up to 425 to finish it. I was upset with my rubbery skin when i first used it as well but i got some good advice from the pros. chicken doesnt need to be cooked low and slow to tenderize it like pork and beef does. it doesnt have the tissues or muscles that need to be broken down like beef and pork
The original Traeger Grill was invented 30 years ago and was every bit as impressive then as it is now. Although it developed a cult following, the early Traeger never grew beyond a niche product. In the past two years, however, Traeger has stepped up its game, redesigning and upgrading its grills while doing everything it can to build a buzz around its amazing do-everything cookers.
Just started shopping around for a pellet smoker. Am also going to need a new gas grill soon. Stopped in at the local BBQ supply store today and they showed me the Memphis Pro and said it would function well for both smoking and cooking steaks/burgers. Price point on that one is pretty high. Would any of the others reviewed above offer similar functionality? Do you have a recommendation of which will work well for both functions? I live in KS so kind of like the idea of sticking with the local guys from Yoder, but Fast Eddys in OK isn't too far away either. Thanks.
I have ate a few peoples cooking that have won at the Royal, Houston and Memphis in May. They have all had one thing in common, I didn't put one drop of sauce on them and they had not been sauced on the Q before serving! The restaurant Cackle and Oink is just a ways from where we live and the owner Aaron Vogel is there regularly. I have tasted all his sauces and they are very good, but the 3 times I have been there, his sauces never touch my ribs and brisket! Aaron does say, if you like this you need to try my competition food (which I will at one of the competitions he is in locally). None of the KCBS, Houston or Memphis in may winners Q had even a hint of ash or bitter smoke flavor. They also had a very light smoke profile. They also all say they cook over well burned down wood.
For a large-sized smoker, the Camp Chef SmokePro SE delivers excellent, smoky-tasting flavor that even beginners can accomplish. This is largely due to its automatic temperature control features and grease management system, allowing you relax while it cooks for you. With minimal cons (only weight and pellet price), this is a definite hit among professionals and newbies. The SmokePro SE is an unquestionable bang for your buck kind of purchase.
However, it does not mean that you stop grilling with wood pellets. You can minimize this risk by avoiding flare-ups and over-charring the meat. If the meat over-burns then it does not only spoil the taste but is a risk to your health. Moreover, the flavored wood pellet smoke is also a risk, even though it can enhance the taste of the food. This is because it contains carcinogenic elements that are unhealthy for you. One such element is the polyaromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs. Besides, you can find this element is most processed food products but its concentration is high in wood smoke.
Instead of logs, the pellet smoker is fed with food-grade cylinders of wood pellets that are an inch long and ¼-inch wide and are made of compressed hardwood sawdust. According to the best pellet smoker reviews, pellet grills are easy to use because it's easier to maintain its temperature because of these sawdust pellets that are subjected to great heat and high pressure, which ignites lignin (natural wood glue).
Hey Drew – thank you for your comment. All told, most pellet grills are going to average about 1.2 to 1.5 lbs per hour. of pellets per hour at 225, and closer to 1.75 lbs. as you get up to 275. It's tough to gauge, which is why you are probably seeing different figures across the web. Ambient temperature and pellet composition play a role as well as grill temp. Sorry I don't have better information for you.
Decided that moving these beasts was a little challenging so I bought a Backwoods Party 10 years ago and loved it. But basically have about worn it out. And as I got older I don't enjoy getting up at 2 AM and then having to get up every couple of hours, after the 45 minutes of getting it ready at 2 AM, to check it and feed it. I also bought a smaller lightly used Open Range, The Good One. Used their recommended method the first time I cooked with it and hated the Q off of it so bad most of it was wasted, wife hated it too and the son ate most of it. It was extremely ash/strong smoke flavored!
This website has a lot of negative reviews... I mixed some salt and pepper, rubbed onto some ribs, and put on the Traeger. After about 5 hours sitting in my a/c living room, looking out the window, at perfectly managed temp, the ribs were done, perfect, juicy, with a beautiful wood smoky flavor that I've never gotten on charcoal or even in restaurants with professional pitmasters and all. I did phone Traeger when I was putting the grill together and doing the 1st burn in, there were humans there (!) and they were knowledgeable and helpful on the 1st time.
In 1982 Traeger Heating in Oregon began experimenting with a furnace that would burn wood pellets made from compressed sawdust, a byproduct of the area lumber mills, and before long introduced a home heating system that they sold mostly locally. Since furnaces sold mostly in cold months, before long they began experimenting with a grill that would burn pellets, too. Eventually they created a device with an auger to feed the pellets and a blower to help them burn.
The entire system was designed in order to make smoking fun and easy. Cleanup is easy, getting everything going is easy, and food turns out great every time. The main cooking area 292 in.², which means you can cook a lot at one time. Since it uses convection technology, the smoky hot air can circulate around the food in order to cook everything evenly.
This is the right choice for anyone that likes smokey flavors and cooking slow at home. It is my first experience with a pellet grill and I have read and studied them for a while. I was looking for a outdoor cooking solution that would give me the ability to cook like the pros without the super sized trailer. Finally deciding to go with the Camp Chef I haven't been disappointed. The temperature control is flawless so you can dial down the cooking process. I smoked chicken the other day and the red smoke ring was a 1/2" deep. It works like a convection oven so there are no cool or hot zones, it just keeps the heat even and consistent. I have noticed even if smoke isn't pouring out the wood flavors are present.
Extremely high build quality. It's heavy. Solid. Nothing flexes or bends. The temp displayed is very accurate when referenced with a thermometer. My only complaint is that the 2-piece diffuser should either be standard equipment, or an optional upgrade at order time (in exchange with the stock diffuser). The 2-piece diffuser is a MUST HAVE accessory. Cleaning the firepot is a messy pain the A** without the 2-piece diffuser. I didn't think I would need it, But I ended up ordering it about 6 weeks after receiving my YS640. I also highly recommend the direct grilling grates. I was able to get rid of my gas BBQ because the direct grilling feature works so well on the YS640.
It doesn't matter if you're talking about pellet grills, pop songs, or pizza, everyone always wants to know which is the best. While that might seem like a fairly straight forward question, there is no simple one-word answer. Is the best pellet grill the most popular one made by the best-known brand? Is it the most expensive one with the most advanced features and high-end bells and whistles? Is it the one that offers the best combination of price and performance? Really, the answer depends on you, your means, and your needs. Or, put another way, maybe the question shouldn't be what's the best pellet grill? but what's the best pellet grill for you?
Everyone has their price range, but don't confuse cheap for affordable. As with other types of grills, there are plenty of inexpensive pellet grills that seem attractive at first glance, especially if you're looking to save a little money. However, while a cheap pellet grill might save you a little money up front, it's going to cost you more in the long run. Parts will rust, components will break down, and you will likely find yourself replacing some or all of that affordable grill within five years. Ultimately, you're better off investing a little more money up front and get a quality grill that will keep years to come.
