Wichita State Shockers
Fred VanVleet, first Shocker in NBA Finals since 1998, excels in Raptors' Game 1 win
Fred VanVleet became the first Wichita State Shocker to play in the NBA Finals in more than two decades Thursday when his Toronto Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors 118-109 at home in Game 1.
But of the five Shockers who have reached basketball's biggest stage, VanVleet is poised to play the largest role.
On Thursday, VanVleet played in 33 minutes off the bench and poured in 15 points on 5 of 8 shooting. The Raptors outscored the Warriors by 11 points, the best plus-minus of any player in the game, while VanVleet was on the court.
VanVleet has played a pivotal role this season — he averaged career-highs in points (11.0), assists (4.8) and minutes (27.5) — on the first Raptors team to reach the NBA Finals. None of it has surprised Toronto coach Nick Nurse, who showed his confidence in VanVleet before Game 1.
"I'm not too worried about Freddie," Nurse told reporters. "Freddie's a ice water in his veins type of guy. He took a midmajor school to the Final Four. He took a midmajor school to 35-0. He's kind of playing better as this thing's going on."
VanVleet also delivered one of the most memorable shots of the game with the shot clock dwindling on a late fourth-quarter possession. He had to hoist a 20-foot jumper over the outstretched hands of Klay Thompson and the shot kissed off the glass, swirled around the rim, bounced out of the rim and then fell back through the net to extend the Raptors' lead to 110-98 with 3:21 remaining.
"It's just about going out there and performing on the highest stage," VanVleet told reporters after the game. "This is what you work for all year, all summer. Now it's time to go out there and let loose and have fun. It's a good win, but we still have a long way to go."
VanVleet is the first WSU player to reach the NBA Finals since Antoine Carr played for the Utah Jazz in the 1997 and 1998 NBA Finals. Other Shockers to reach the Finals included Cliff Levingston with the Chicago Bulls in 1992 and 1993 and Dave Stallworth and Nate Bowman with the New York Knicks in 1970.
The national spotlight has found VanVleet since his near-perfect shooting following the birth of his second child, Fred Jr., on May 20. In the three games that followed, all Raptors' wins to close out an Eastern Conference finals victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, VanVleet combined to make 82.4 percent (14 of 17) of his three-pointers and average 16 points off the bench.
That hot shooting continued on Thursday, as VanVleet canned 5 of 8 shots.
"Obviously I was struggling a little bit and trying to work myself out of that," VanVleet told reporters after the game. "I made a couple of shots in the last series, and then it builds and builds. If you're a hot player you're probably going to play more minutes, which comes with more opportunity. I'm just trying to capitalize on that and make open shots when I get them and make plays when I need to make plays."
His legend grew even more on Thursday, not because of his 15 points, but because of his defense on Warriors' superstar Stephen Curry. According to Second Spectrum data, Curry scored just two points on the 29 possessions VanVleet was guarding him. The Warriors outscored the Raptors by two in Curry's 15 minutes without facing VanVleet, but in the 25 minutes the former Shocker was guarding Curry, the Raptors outscored the Warriors by 11.
That continued a trend from the one game the two faced off against each other, as VanVleet held Curry to just four points on 39 possessions of man-to-man defense in the regular season.
But when asked after about his performance in the biggest win in the franchise's history, VanVleet gave his typical even-keeled response.
"It's one win," VanVleet said. "Nobody's overreacting. One step closer to where we want to go. We've got to go out on Sunday and lace them up again."
Game 2 in Toronto is at 7 p.m. Sunday and will be broadcast on ABC.
Here were some of the best tweets about VanVleet's performance on Thursday:

Male Reunification . . . . .
Male reunification is a Men Who Care specific program with the intent of building or rebuilding relationships between a dislocated or estrange father and their child. Whether this was due to a poor relationship with a spouse, ex-spouse or significant other. Life 's circumstance i.e. military, penal or due to a lack of knowledge of the child. Now is the time, don't let your child suffer. You are one of the most important relationships your child will ever have. In fact, the relationship a child has with their father will mold and affect the relationships they'll have throughout their lifetime. It's not a coincidence that children from healthy parental relationships (father and mother) excel in life exponentially: from education and domestic relationships, to economics, and most importantly their self-esteem.

报告题目:Social Contact Processes and the Partner Model
报告人:Dr Eric Foxall (University of Alberta)
报告摘要:We consider a stochastic model of infection spread on the complete graph on vertices incorporating dynamic partnerships, which we assume to be monogamous. This can be seen as a variation on the contact process in which some form of edge dynamics determines the set of contacts at each moment in time. We identify a basic reproduction number with the property that if the infection dies out by time , while if the infection survives for an amount of time for some and hovers around a uniquely determined metastable proportion of infectious individuals. The proof in both cases relies on comparison to a set of mean-field equations when the infection is widespread, and to a branching process when the infection is sparse.

Thou Shalt Play Ball
Moses descended the mountain with three stone tablets in his arms and spoke to the Israelites. "These first two contain ten commandments on how to live. There's bad news here for you, Obadiah the Adulterer. For you too, Simon the Idol-Maker."
"You'd better not have bad news for me, old man, or else!"
"Hmm… heh heh… no… um, don't see anything to concern you, Tobiah the Murderer. Now then, this third tablet is instructions on how to play a new game called baseball."
"Looks complicated!" shouted someone in the crowd. "Like ping pong!"
"Not really, Zelek the Moron," replied Moses. "You hit a ball with a stick and then have to make your way around three bases until you reach 'home'."
"When are we gonna reach home?" bellowed another. "We've been wandering in the wilderness for years!"
"Yes, well, God has given us this recreation to lighten our spirits during the journey," Moses answered. "Let's give it a try, shall we? We'll need some sticks and balls."
"There are sticks all over the place," a voice piped up. "But where will we get some balls?"
"Don't ask me," said Jedediah the Eunuch. Everyone laughed except Moses.
"And there are different positions to play," Moses continued. "Centerfield, for example, will need someone who can cover a lot of ground."
"I can cover a lot of ground," declared Shem the Carpet Maker. Everyone laughed again.
"That's not what I…" Moses' voice trailed off in defeat. "Okay, forget it. Baseball is a gift from God that clearly none of you are ready for. Now, where did I put those ten commandments?"
"What commandments?" said Amos the Thief.
Moses wept.

I would like to get in touch with any of my class mates. I emigrated to Australia with my family in Jan. 1956 but had left the Island before that.
I wonder did any other pupils emigrate too. My cousin, Barbara Harrison also came over to Sydney in the 70's. I am now aged 76 !!
I saw a class photo circa l954 by Frank Liddicott , 27/9/2009 which brought back memories. sincerely yours, Pauline Gale, nee Pagliaro.
I have posted a page showing my picture in front of the Long Road School. I left Canvey in 1957 for Canada with my parents Bert and Nellie Shepherd. My brother Dennis went to secondary school on Canvey in the early 50's I think.

Earlier this year, South Carolina passed what has been called the "mugshot extortion bill" into law, which makes it a crime for individuals or companies to publish information about a person's arrest and then charge fees to remove the information. The law is found in S.C. Code Section 17-1-60.
For some time, websites such as mugshots.com and print magazines such as Carolina Mugshots have been extorting money from people who were arrested and booked even when the person's case was dismissed or they were found not guilty. No more.
The new law makes it a crime, punishable by up to a $1000.00 fine and up to 60 days in jail, to:
- obtain or attempt to obtain arrest and booking records, including booking photographs, when they know that the records will be published and removal of the records will require payment of a fee;
- require a person to pay a fee to remove or to refrain from publishing the person's arrest and booking information and photograph; or
- provide arrest and booking records, if you are a government employee, to an individual or company if the government employee knows that the information will be published and a fee charged for its removal.
The law authorizes a civil cause of action against anyone who violates the law for damages, costs, and attorney fees. It also authorizes suit against a government employee (but not the government agency) under the South Carolina Tort Claims Act. A separate non-criminal section of the law provides that any person or company who does publish a person's arrest and booking information or booking photos must remove the information without charging a fee within 30 days of a written request which:
- is made in writing and sent via certified mail;
- includes the person's name, date of arrest, and the name of the arresting agency;
- contains documentation that the charges were dismissed, expunged, or the person was found not guilty; and
- includes the exact location of the published information that the person wants removed (i.e. web address, magazine).
Basically, if the individual or company is charging a fee for the removal of the information, it is a crime punishable by jail time and the law authorizes a civil suit. Even if the individual or company is not charging a fee, the law authorizes a civil suit if they do not remove or correct the information after a formal request that contains the above information.
Having a criminal record of any kind can cause embarrassment to any person and it can profoundly affect a person's life by preventing job opportunities. Not having a criminal record and having some company attempt to blackmail you to remove inaccurate information and your photograph from their website is even worse. If you think that one of these companies is in violation of the above law, or if you need assistance getting your official record expunged or getting one of these companies to remove your information, contact me to see if I can help.

For funsies, we decided to have a designer come in to look at our stupid kitchen. They existing layout is awful largely due in fact to all the doorways, windows, and a railing with a step down into the living room. This is the kitchen layout they came up with.
There is a seat type thing where the bay window is - that is not open like their drawings suggest, the wall goes straight across the bottom with a ledge at the base of the window. Just out of frame there is a railing because that whole wall doesn't exist, it steps down into the living room.
This is infinitely better than what we have now, but I am worried mostly about the dead space by the big window/railing. I don't know what I would even do in that area (it's too narrow for more counters, originally we had considered turning the railing into a breakfast bar type thing instead).

Word of mouth communications and peer-to-peer dialogue often have a greater effect on customers, since they are not sent directly from the company and are therefore not planned. Customers are more likely to trust other customers' experiences.[22] Examples can be that social media users share food products and meal experiences highlighting certain brands and franchises. This was noted in a study on Instagram, where researchers observed that adolescent Instagram users' posted images of food-related experiences within their social networks, providing free advertising for the products.[26]
Email marketing: Email can be an effective way to maintain a connection between your business and its customers. You can purchase email addresses of customers and prospective customers, but the best results usually come from emails collected on your website. You can entice people to give you their emails through a quality free offer, such as a downloadable resource, called a lead magnet. Once you have their email, you can send a newsletter, special offers, and other information your target market would be interested in—as long as you follow laws and regulations around email marketing.

Make sure to research the seller with care before teaming up. Your time is worth a lot, and you want to be sure you're spending it on a product that is profitable and a seller you can believe in.
Jim Boykin blows my mind every time I talk to him. I have been doing SEO for 15 years and yet I am amazed at the deep stuff Jim comes up with. Simply amazing insights and always on the cutting edge. He cuts through the BS and tells you what really works and what doesn't. After our chat, I grabbed my main SEO guy and took him to lunch and said "you have to help me process all this new info..." I was literally pacing around the room...I have so many new ideas to experiment with that I would never have stumbled onto on my own. He is the Michael Jordan or the Jerry Garcia of links...Hope to go to NY again to Jim's amazing SEO classes. Thanks Jim! Michael G.
Influencer marketing: Important nodes are identified within related communities, known as influencers. This is becoming an important concept in digital targeting. It is possible to reach influencers via paid advertising, such as Facebook Advertising or Google Adwords campaigns, or through sophisticated sCRM (social customer relationship management) software, such as SAP C4C, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage CRM and Salesforce CRM. Many universities now focus, at Masters level, on engagement strategies for influencers.
The first widely publicized example of online advertising was conducted via electronic mail. On 3 May 1978, a marketer from DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation), Gary Thuerk, sent an email to most of the ARPANET's American west coast users, advertising an open house for a new model of a DEC computer.[5][10] Despite the prevailing acceptable use policies, electronic mail marketing rapidly expanded[11] and eventually became known as "spam."
Some merchants run their own (in-house) affiliate programs using dedicated software, while others use third-party intermediaries to track traffic or sales that are referred from affiliates. There are two different types of affiliate management methods used by merchants: standalone software or hosted services, typically called affiliate networks. Payouts to affiliates or publishers can be made by the networks on behalf of the merchant, by the network, consolidated across all merchants where the publisher has a relationship with and earned commissions or directly by the merchant itself.
Two-tier programs exist in the minority of affiliate programs; most are simply one-tier. Referral programs beyond two-tier resemble multi-level marketing (MLM) or network marketing but are different: Multi-level marketing (MLM) or network marketing associations tend to have more complex commission requirements/qualifications than standard affiliate programs.[citation needed]
And we understand the value of our affiliate relationships and invest with a long-term view. That's why we are offering the highest per-transaction commissions of any precious metals merchant listed on Share-A-Sale. We pay a commission of $23 for each new customer that completes a purchase, regardless of the total sales amount, after the payment has cleared.
Our finder's fees are paid by either check or in silver bullion, depending on the size of the finder's fee generated. Finder's fees under $1,000 are paid by check. If the amount of the finder's fee is in excess of $1,000, the referring party may elect to be paid in silver bullion of his or her choice. The type of silver bullion is, of course, based upon market availability.
In February 2000, Amazon announced that it had been granted a patent[18] on components of an affiliate program. The patent application was submitted in June 1997, which predates most affiliate programs, but not PC Flowers & Gifts.com (October 1994), AutoWeb.com (October 1995), Kbkids.com/BrainPlay.com (January 1996), EPage (April 1996), and several others.[13]

It's you and your health insurance broker. You're thinking, this year I'm really going to get tough with this insurance company and I'm gonna 'em them who's boss. I'm gonna be a tough negotiator and this is the year I'm gonna to get a better deal for my employees. Seriously, you might as well be Charlie Brown saying to himself, "This year I'm really gonna kick that football" and like every other time, Lucy swipes the football away from you at the last second—just like she always does. There you are, lying flat on your back wondering what just happened.
Don't be that guy this year, when your BUCA (Blue Cross, United, Cigna, Aetna) plan sends you this year's increase—you need to fight back. When you hear your broker tell you that healthcare costs "just go up", or when they bring you this year's gimmicky product that's supposed to make everything better—you need to fight back. Find that broker who is more like Snoopy, the Flying Ace, shooting fake reasons for increasing costs out of the sky. You can find one at www.healthrosetta.org. Or just call me. I'll fight for you.
Your employees are counting on you to look for a plan that provides transparency and lowers costs. They're hoping you're going to come up with a plan that reduces out-of-pocket and gives them better access to high-quality healthcare. I know what you're thinking, "Better care, lower out-of-pocket? But I'm already paying more than I can afford. Better care is going to cost even more!" All I can tell you is that you're wrong. You're not listening to the right advice. Stop being a blockhead!
Let me give you an example of what happened at one of my clients this week. We uncovered that an employee is taking a high cost brand name drug. After some research, we determined that the brand name is just a quirky dosage of the generic ingredient. The drug was costing the employer $733.00 per month. I know that's not much, but when we found out a local, independent compounding pharmacy could make the same dosage of the generic that the brand had for only $75.00 per month, we rejoiced like we'd won the lottery! Transparent Advisor = 1, Big Bad PBM = 0. And that was only one prescription! Imagine what we'll find when we analyze every drug in their claims report.
Don't let your employees be the one kid who looks in their treat bag and all they have is a rock. That's no good for anyone. Be the employer everyone wants to work for because your health plan is the best around. It IS possible! You CAN do it! And it's NOT scary! #letsfixhealthcare

To be successful one need to have a perfect Time Management system set up in his day to day life. Setting up time in an organized way helps you to Focus Efficiently on every task you do.
Some people have got a habit to Procrastinate their work only because it's Lengthy and Stressful. Remember not to procrastinate your task. If you have postponed it then there is a high chance that you may forget it in the future.
Always believe in Mindfulness Rather believing on Multitasking. Multitasking leads to Distraction while mindfulness will make you achieve Undistracted Focus.
Researchers have found that every individual takes approximately 8 Seconds to load a piece of information in their memory. So, don't hurry with your work but do it Slowly and Steadily.

Take Enough Rest and Sleep Well
Improper sleep among most of the college students and working professionals is one of the Major causes for their Poor Memory.
Sleep helps in Strengthening many Short-term memories and transforms them into long-lasting memories.
A study was conducted among two groups of children between the ages of 10 to 14. One group was trained for a memory test in the evening and was given a night sleep. The next day they gave the test. The other group was trained and tested on the same day without any sleep.
It was concluded from the result for the group that Slept performed 20% much Better than the group that Didn't Sleep.
The study also proves that Adults should sleep for at least 7-8 Hour per day for good health.
Researchers from Paris Descartes University and Ecole NormaleSuperieure (ENS) concluded that Human Sleep can lead to the Formation and Suppression of Acoustic Memories. It is published in the journal Nature Communication. This research was led by Professor Sid Kouider, head of Brain and Consciousness lab at ENS.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age. PCOS causes a woman's body to produce excessive amounts of male hormones (androgens) which lead to the various manifestations of the disease.
PCOS disrupts the balance of both follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), the hormone that causes the follicle and egg to develop and luteinizing hormone (LH), the hormone that causes the follicle to release the egg. PCOS tends to run in families, but little is known about its cause or how it passes from one generation to the next.
PCOS patients can have a wide range of presentations. Not every woman who has difficulty ovulating will qualify for the diagnosis of PCOS. In an effort to clarify, an expert conference (Rotterdam, 2003) defined PCOS (after the exclusion of related disorders) as including two of the following three features: 1. Irregular or absent ovulation 2. Clinical and/or biochemical signs of excess androgens 3. Polycystic appearing ovaries by sonogram.
Symptoms of PCOS:
Complications of PCOS
If you have PCOS you are at a higher risk for these other conditions as well:
- Type II Diabetes
- High blood pressure (including pregnancy-induced high blood pressure)
- Cholesterol and lipid abnormalities
- Severe liver inflammation caused by fat accumulation (called fatty liver disease)
- Sleep apnea
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Cancer of the uterine lining (endometrial cancer) caused by continuous high levels of estrogen without exposure to progesterone
- Gestational diabetes
- Depression and anxiety
- Cardiovascular problems
Treatment for PCOS
No cure exists for PCOS, but treatments can help relieve symptoms, improve the quality of life, and reduce the risk of developing certain cancers.
Treatment generally focuses on management of the woman's main concern(s), such as infertility, hirsutism, acne, and/or obesity.
The following are common treatments for PCOS:

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Activist groups reported on Tuesday that a coalition strike on a school outside Raqqa killed and injured dozens of internally-displaced people who were sheltering in the building.
Syria's SANA news service said the building was located south of the town of Mansour, about 19 miles west of Raqqa.
"We have no indication that an airstrike struck civilians near Raqqah as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims, however, since we have conducted several strikes near Raqqa we will provide this information to our civilian casualty team for further investigation," the spokesperson said.
Unverified reports estimated up to 33 people may have been killed in the strike.
The daily coalition strike report issued for Tuesday listed 18 strikes near Raqqa, including three that hit buildings. Two buildings were described as held by Daesh, and a third was said to be Daesh headquarters.

My sims 3 specific aging slider is not there. Does anyone know if I can fix this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@strandedhobomom That would explain the problem—you have the original release version, unpatched.
Since all the patches together are so large, the best way to patch to 1.67, the highest level for disc installs, is to download and run the Super Patch. Here's a link to the download:
You want the link under the heading "Cumulative Base Game Super Patch." Once you've downloaded it, double-click to open it and select your game when prompted. It will take a few minutes, but at the end, you'll be fully patched and will have the custom age sliders, along with a lot of other features that were added after the fact.
@strandedhobomom Is this a custom slider, or something you're expecting to see in-game? If it's the latter, which aging sliders aren't there, and where are you looking? You can't change individual age settings at the Main Menu; you have to open a save to do it.
If this is something else, please let me know what it is and what's not working.
June - last edited June
You know when it says you can change the sims lifespan but you only get a few options, I can't seem to find the specific lifespan options. Do you know where I should see them.I was expecting to see this in game.
June - last edited June
@strandedhobomom Once you've loaded a save, new or not, you can click on the three dots in the lower left corner of your screen. From there select Options, and then Game Options. This is what it should look like:
I don't have all packs installed on this computer, so you may have more options than I do. At any rate, as long as the box to enable aging is checked, you should be able to manually adjust the length of each age stage, within some boundaries. If you want a stage to be longer or shorter than the limit you're seeing, change the overall lifespan from "Normal" to something else first.
If you're not seeing this, is it possible you have a mod that's interfering? You can test by temporarily moving your Mods folder to the desktop and deleting scriptCache.package inside your game folder. If you don't use mods, ignore this.
And if you're seeing something completely different, it would be helpful to see a screenshot.
Sorry I'm new to the game. How do you screenshot?
@strandedhobomom The in-game screenshot function won't help here, but you can take one on your computer and then upload it. Put the game in windowed mode (go to Options and the setting should be right there). Then hit Windows key-shift-S (Windows) or cmd-shift-4 (Mac) and drag your cursor over the section of the screen you want to capture. In Windows, the image will land in the clipboard; open Paint or another image editing app and crtl-V to paste it. On a Mac, the image will appear on your desktop all by itself.
where is the option to put it in windowed mode
@strandedhobomom Launch the game, load a save or start a new one, then wait for it to load. When it does, click the three dots in the lower left corner of your screen. Select Options from the menu. When the Options screen comes up, you will see one of two things. In Windows, there will be a little box that says "Enable fullscreen mode," which you can uncheck (be sure to accept the changes, or it will revert to fullscreen). In macOS, the screen will say that you can use cmd-return to switch between fullscreen and windowed modes.
If you don't see this, please take a picture of the launcher, as in, the window that shows up when you first open the game, the one that has the Play button.
It's in paint, what now?
@strandedhobomom Save the file (the little floppy disc icon near the upper left corner), then upload it here so I can see it. You can attach it to a post or put it directly into the text of your answer. The attach button is below the text field where you type a response; it's next to a paper clip icon. The button to add an image into the text of your answer is just above the text field, next to the link icon.

Gorgeous Hollywood movie star Jessica Biel shared a video of her doing crazy one-leg skater squats with personal trainer Ben Bruno. Justin Timberlake's 37-year-old wife isn't the only celebrity client of Bruno's. He also works with comedian Chelsea Handler. Handler is currently on tour and promoting her latest New York Times be stselling book, Life Will Be the Death of Me… And You Too!
Handler posted her own video doing sick super-fit one-leg skater squats — but Handler trumps Biel's efforts by wearing a weight vest and holding her big and fluffy Chow Chow dog, Bernice. She writes: "When you've maxed out the dumbbells… #bernice preparing for my stand-up comedy tour. New cities added." P.S. In China, Chow Chow dogs are called Songshi-Quan, which translated means "puffy-lion dog."

A Glowing new you for the New Year
Jan 2018
Each January brings its share of New Year's resolutions. Undoubtedly, the best promise you can make is to take care of yourself – after all, there's only one you out there!
Feeling good and being healthy, both physically and mentally
– that is what we should all strive for in 2018.
If for you this goal can be achieved through
subtle changes to your skin
, the Figurra Institute should be at the top of your list of medical aesthetic service providers. Treatments such as our medical peeling could help give your skin that youthful glow.
- Prolonged exposure to sunlight
Brown spots
and pregnancy mask
Aging neck and décolleté
Visible pores
Acne scars
These are but a few of the conditions that can be improved by the peeling.
Everyone has a story, and so does your skin. That's why we take care to evaluate your condition and propose a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Our professionals can offer you subtle and progressive changes that will make people compliment you on your glowing skin and rested look.
Contact us now!
Medical peeling
Peeling treatments
can efficiently eliminate the outer layer of damaged or oxidized skin cells (caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight, contact with environmental pollutants, etc.) and promote the growth of new healthy skin cells. The peeling can therefore eliminate or alleviate problems such as
brown spots
, damage from prolonged sun exposure or certain signs of aging.
Effects of the peeling treatment are usually minimal, temporary and gradual. After only a few hours (sometimes minutes) of redness, the skin will dry and peel slightly in the week following the treatment, leaving your skin refreshed and your complexion bright and even.
As this new skin will be fragile, it will be important to protect it well against the effects of sunlight and wind: Applying a good hydration cream and a broad-spectrum sunscreen should therefore be an essential part of your daily routine (this is true even if you haven't received a peeling treatment).
The peeling is often paired with other treatments to obtain optimal results (laser treatment, skin care products).
Depending on the condition being treated, there are different types of peelings that can be personalized to your needs by our qualified professionals. The team at the Figurra Institute will guide you through the necessary steps to take care of your new rejuvenated look!

The New Zealand Civil Defense released a statement saying: "We are assessing whether the M7.4 Kermadec Islands region earthquake poses any tsunami threat to New Zealand.
"If a tsunami has been generated it is not likely to arrive in New Zealand for at least two hours."
The USGS reported that the quake had a depth of 21 miles.

'Since when does Ohio get earthquakes?' Magnitude 4.0 earthquake shakes near Cleveland
Mon, 10 Jun 2019 20:37 UTC
There were no reports immediately of damage. A magnitude 4 earthquake can cause light to moderate damage.
The USGS is collecting responses from people who felt the tremors. Over 8,000 people reported feeling the earthquake so far. The majority of reports rate the intensity as weak to light, USGS reports.
The event occurred in a region that is not typically associated with high seismic activity, and many resident contacted local emergency officials after the shake. The City of Mentor said that the dispatch is "overwhelmed with 911 calls," but that they "are waiting for the experts to affirm what was probably an earthquake here."
"Please don't cal 911 unless you are having an emergency," the City of Mentor said in a tweet.

'Disaster-predicting fish' spotted in Peru days before earthquake
Sun, 26 May 2019 20:02 UTC
A magnitude 8 earthquake that struck northern Peru early on 26 May might've been preceded by a herald straight from ancient folk tales, the Daily Star reports.
Mere days before the disaster struck the South American country, and shortly before a similar calamity hit eastern Japan, a deep sea dweller known as the giant oarfish or king of herrings was discovered by locals washed up on Vichayito beach in the Peruvian town of Máncora.

This very feeling led him to catch with eagerness at every means by which the trial might be shortened or alleviated. He believed that the change from childhood to manhood might be hastened without prematurely exhausting the faculties of body and mind; and it was on this principle that he chiefly acted. He desired the boys to cultivate true manliness as the only step to something higher. He treated them as gentlemen, and appealed and trusted to their common sense and conscience.
Lying to the masters he made a grave offence. He placed implicit confidence in a boy's assertion, and then, if a falsehood were discovered, punished it severely. In the higher forms any attempt at further proof of an assertion was immediately checked. "If you say so, that is quite enough; of course, I believe your word"; and there grew up in consequence a general feeling that "it was a shame to tell Arnold a lie: he always believed you". Few scenes can be recorded more characteristic of him than when, in consequence of a disturbance, he had been obliged to send away several boys, and when, in the midst of the general spirit of discontent which this excited, he stood in his place before the assembled school and said, "It is not necessary that this should be a school of three hundred, or one hundred, or of fifty boys; but it is necessary that it should be a school of Christian gentlemen".

Can a 7-pound baby change the fortunes of a country? Maybe ... if the baby's name is Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.
There are big countries and small ones, well-known countries and backwaters. Then there's Namibia. While scant data exists about the unaided awareness of countries, it's a safe bet that Namibia would rank near the bottom.
But that is changing, and fast, all because Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt chose to have their child in this mysterious place. Why did they choose Namibia? Among the most cited reasons: Angelina made a movie in Namibia in 2003, picked up her adoptive son, Maddox, there and fell in love with the country; it appealed to her philanthropic nature; and it provided a blessed respite from prying eyes.
The last point is worth exploring. While Namibia is a democracy, foreign journalists must be accredited and have work permits, which allows the government to put a lid on an influx of paparazzi. According to Shareen Thude, strategic executive for marketing and research at the Namibia Tourism Board, "Journalists need certain clearances to come in because we are a country of scenic beauty, and there are some areas [where] journalists coming into the local cultural communities and trespassing on protected areas would be intrusive." If celebrities happen to be in those "scenic areas," they enjoy a measure of privacy unattainable in much of the celebrity-obsessed world.
Brangelina has certainly led to a spike in awareness of Namibia and interest in the country. In March, pre-Brangelina, Namibia Tourism's site welcomed only 200 unique visitors from the U.S. The following month, that figure had increased twentyfold, to more than 4,000. But awareness and interest are, ultimately, important only insofar as they motivate behavior. The real challenge for Namibia Tourism is to convert interest into inquiries, and inquiries into bookings.
The challenge is formidable. As New York travel consultant Joyce Horowitz of Altour puts it, "Namibia is a destination for people on their fourth trip to Africa. I've sent 30 people to Botswana this year and haven't had a single inquiry about Namibia. There's not much reason to go there."
But some Africa specialist operators, such as Anne Bellamy, president of African Travel, have a different view. "It's an extraordinary country, a wonderland that is relatively unspoiled," she says. "Everyone who sees Namibia falls in love with it."
So what should Namibia do to turn a one-time publicity bonanza into the beginning of a long-term trend? Here's some unsolicited advice:
Decide on a target audience. This might be the single most important strategic decision for Namibia at this stage in the game. Botswana, for example, made a conscious decision to pitch itself to the upper end of the market as an exclusive destination. The upside: Luxury generally equates with high margins. The downside: As Namibia Tourism's Thude put it, "Botswana's strong association with upscale is making it very difficult to break into the middle of the market."
In practice, Namibia might not have much of a choice. According to Bellamy, the country's infrastructure, while solid by African standards, is not designed for mass travel. In the near term, exclusivity appears to be a default position. More specifically, Namibia could choose to target self-reliant, independent-minded travelers who have already visited more well-known African destinations, such as South Africa or Kenya, and are looking for something more exotic on their next trip.
Consider making the budding reputation as a secluded getaway a deliberate strategy. Jolie and Pitt have begun to give Namibia credentials as a celebrity haven. Celebrities travel in packs. They marry each other, buy houses near each other, vacation near each other. How about a Hollywood outreach pitching Namibia as the best place on earth for celebrities to escape the paparazzi for special occasions such as births, weddings or post-divorce blues? Or just to get away from it all?
Define a single-minded, compelling reason to visit Namibia. The country might not offer what Bellamy calls Africa's "Big 5"--lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and rhino--but it has "remarkable sand dunes and salt pans, a beautiful coastline with fascinating shipwrecks, and tribes up north that live pretty much as they have for thousands of years. It is quite visceral." In short, it's not your typical tourist destination--just the thing for folks who prefer not to think of themselves as "typical."
Avoid paid media advertising in the U.S. Let's face it: Namibia Tourism won't have the resources to make a dent in U.S. media--even very targeted media--for years to come. But the whereabouts of celebrities, even those ensconced in the most private of locales, eventually leaks out and makes news, which begets more news. In the wake of the Brangelina birth, Namibia Tourism received a widely publicized prank call that Britney Spears wanted to deliver the second little Federline in Namibia. False alarm, but a widely publicized prank sure beats no publicity at all.
Last, but certainly not least, be patient. According to Bellamy, "It took about a decade to put Botswana on the map."
Brad and Angelina have jump-started the process for Namibia. The ball is now in Namibia's court.

WASHINGTON — An aeroplane entirely powered by the sun landed in Washington yesterday after a flight from St. Louis, the next-to-last leg of a journey across the United States intended to boost support for clean energy technologies.
The Solar Impulse landed at Dulles International Airport outside Washington at 12:15 a.m., organisers said in a statement. It will remain in the US capital until it takes off for New York in early July for the last leg of its historic trip.
If the spindly experimental aircraft completes the journey as planned, it will be the first solar-powered plane capable of operating day and night to fly across the United States.
"It proves the reliability and potential of clean technologies, and this is crucial in pushing our message forward," Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard said in the statement. Piccard founded the Solar Impulse project with fellow pilot Andre Borschberg.
With the wingspan of a jumbo jet and the weight of a small car, the Solar Impulse is a test model for a more advanced aircraft the team plans to build to fly around the world in 2015.
The plane completed the first leg of the journey from San Francisco to Phoenix in early May and flew later that month from Phoenix to Dallas.
In early June, the Solar Impulse made the trip from Dallas to St. Louis. It flew to Washington in nearly 30 hours of flying over two days.
The project began in 2003 with a 10-year budget of US $112 million. It has involved engineers from Swiss escalator maker Schindler and research aid from Belgian chemicals group Solvay.
The plane made its first intercontinental flight, from Spain to Morocco, in June 2012.

Need some PPC advice
Also,since I changed the billing limit from 25 to 100.00 a day it says I will be billed every 200.00 dollars I can't figure out how to change this.
I want to try again just gun shy lol I have been doing article marketing but with slow sales. I only get sales on one niche I have been in and think I can ramp it from article marketing and may push it to PPC.
Some of you pros out there what was your first PPC budget before you were making some decent bank?
Everywhere I look it says you need quite a bit to start in order to see decent results. But then I look at products like Infomillionaire it says budget $25 a day is decent.

As part of our celebration of Christmas for the House of Tortured Souls I will be examining Cannibal Claus, a piece of seasonal fun that is everything the synopsis says and more! Basically Santa is a little bored this year and needs to get his "Jolly's" . He's looking for some fun , murderous escapades and a few "Ho Ho Ho's" along the way.
Firstly I feel a desperate need to say that this Christmas film is DEFINITELY not for the kiddies (or any prudeseither). Instead it is a literal 65 minute descent into sexually fuelled homicidal madness, with that sparkle of the holiday season. It is just the perfect fit for viewing, by any horror fan with a love for pure cheesy goodness. Early on we are introduced to our perverted but insatiable Nick Cringle and his
escapades. He breaks into homes ,kills people, dismembers and eats them. In one particular scene Cringle (played by Indie horror gem Bob Glazier) proclaims "I think it's time for some head", before he then proceeds to face fuck the dismembered head of one particular blonde bimbo! Yes as the body parts begin to fly, viewers can see the amazing prosthetics and gore on screen . And it is such a thrill to watch. Even on it's meager $1200 budget this blending of gore ,cheesy gags and of course sex sex sex is pure genius. From a drug dealer snorting cocaine off a girls ass, to women in barely anything I honestly didn't find it at all sexist . Please remember it's all just in good christmassy fun . Akin to Bruce Willis uttering "Yipee ki Yay motherfucker" in Die Hard, I felt myself lighten up and have a laugh throughout Cannibal Claus. Especially when Cringle said "Ho ho ho motherfucker!" Bob Glazier is a devious delight as our Nick Cringle, and is joined by an ensemble of actors and actresses . These are indie stars who clearly enjoy the Sleaze Box filmmaking world (like the sci fi film makers Asylum casts ). Glazier himself goes all
out (quite literally in one scene) to impress us as the homicidal, people eating, holiday favourite. Glazier has two sexy elves in tow, played saucily by Krystal Pixie Adams and Stephanie Jensen We also meet Nick's character as a child, played by the adorable Lucio Giovannelli. And even his parents are being played by his actual real life parents Mady Giovannelli and Alberto Giovannelli. All three portray the family very genuinely through a series of shots, involving our murderous Santa's upbringing. This makes the movie Bad Santa look tame and is definitely going to be a new addition to my beloved laughs during the silly season . This Santa surely is dreaming of a "white christmas" and with the films tagline "You're only as good as you taste", I doubt you cannot laugh as hard as I did watching some scenes. Florida based Writer/ Director Sean Donohue is known for his work on films like Death Scort, Death Scort 2, Die Die Delta Pi and various shorts.With Cannibal Claus he creates the perfect addition for the holiday season, to be enjoyed by fans of the independent horror world. This was my introduction to the wild world of Sleaze Box. And I found it to be a combination of repulsion and hilarity ( I kid you not I was wheezing, due to the fact I was laughing so hard!!) and now I must check out more in the future.

How to Get the Front Panel of a Dryer Off
The front panel of a clothes dryer protects the mechanisms and motor inside from dust and dirt. If you need direct access the the revolving clothes drum, the motor or the drive belt, you must first remove the front panel of the dryer. Appliance construction varies among manufacturers and models, although the process for removing the front panel is essentially the same. Follow basic safety procedures before opening the cabinet of any electrical or gas appliance.
Close the dryer door so that it latches and pull the dryer out from the wall so you can move behind the appliance. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet behind the dryer and close the gas valve knob, if you have a gas dryer.
Lift the lint screen cover on the top of the dryer and pull the lint screen out of its slot to remove the two screws underneath. Set aside the screws and lint screen. If your lint screen is inside the dryer door, skip this step.
Insert a flat-blade screwdriver in the left and right corners of the dryer front panel at the top, in the narrow gap where the panel meets the top of the dryer. Pry up the top of the dryer gently, taking care not to pull loose any wiring.
Pull out the metal clip on the top-left and -right corners of the front panel, using pliers. Removing the clips disengages the front panel completely from the dryer top.
Extract the screws on the left and right edge of the front panel and the kick panel below the front panel. Save the screws for reconnecting later.
Pull forward from the top of the front panel to disengage the part from the cabinet, then set aside. You can now access the front of the dryer drum, motor, drive belt and other parts in the front of the appliance.
Things You Will Need
- Screwdrivers
- Pliers
- Do not reconnect the power cord or turn on the gas until the dryer is completely reassembled.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), foremost among which ischemic heart disease and stroke, are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in France. These diseases are multifactorial origin and even if it is not possible to act on risk markers such as age, sex, or heredity, risk factors like high cholesterol, smoking , hypertension, obesity, diabetes and physical inactivity, are the main target of prevention strategies.The dydlipidémies have a role in the formation of CVD in participating in the genesis of atherosclerosis. The cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in particular is subject to oxidation process in plasma. The molecules of oxidized LDL-cholesterol, small and dense, easily penetrate the arterial endothelial wall and are greeted by macrophages. Following a succession of different processes including inflammation, atherosclerotic plaque is formed. The result is either an arteriopathy when the arterial lumen narrowing, or atherothrombosis in the event of plaque rupture. Given this pathophysiology, reduce blood lipids, including LDL-cholesterol and reducing oxidation and inflammation are interesting strategies in the context of cardiovascular prevention. Several scientific study showed that nutritional supplementation with some plant extracts such as artichokes, garlic, red yeast rice, or the sugar cane policosanol helps to reduce several cardiovascular risk factors including regulate concentrations of circulating lipids.
The objective of this study is to validate the effectiveness of Limicol, formulated with proven scientific data on the reduction of LDL-cholesterol in volunteers with moderate hypercholesterolaemia (LDL-cholesterol).

Ok guys, I'm so terribly late to the game on the Week 3 progress update of our Charming Floral Nursery project we're sharing as part of The One Room Challenge. I actually should be sharing Week 4 progress but slowly catching up over here…The last couple of weeks have flown by as we had installs and photoshoots for three separate design projects! I'm just now coming up for air (in the best way possible)!
So here's where we were at for Week 3 (and back when I started the draft of this post which I should have shared by last Sunday but you know, LIFE.)… During my check-ins at the site that week, we went over layout and started placing some of the major design pieces, including a plush charcoal gray area rug from Loloi that adds a beautiful transitional vibe to the nursery. Thursday of that week so happened to be the most beautiful day we had seen in Portland yet this spring and I spent the morning applying these UrbanWalls decals to add a statement to the focal wall behind the crib with a wallpaper-type wall treatment and loved every single minute of it. Seriously, the feels were running so high that morning!
BTW, I saved some fun updates on the wall application process in an "In Process" Highlight on the HRDC Instragram page and everyone seems to be just as enamored with the flower wall treatment as we are!
The decals arrived in two long sheets, so I started by cutting each flower out and then spacing the largest ones on the wall with blue painters tape. Once the spacing looked good, I began filling in the gaps with the smaller decals.
The first decal went on super smooth and it was so utterly pretty all on its own, my heart started racing thinking about how beautiful the whole wall would look in the end.
I continued to tackle the decals one by one, taking a big step back from the wall every few applications to make sure the spacing was filling in proportionately. As it really started coming together, I got more and more excited and it really started to click that my friends would soon be making endless new memories in the space together and there were more than a few times I got super choked up and had to pull myself together to get the work done.
By the end, I was feeling a deep case of baby fever... I'm desperate to hold that sweet baby soon and squelch all those baby fever urges because there's certainly no more chances for additional kiddos in the Anderson household.
I could not be happier with the final result!!! LOVE.
Wrapping up Week 3 with a little before + after candy for the eyes….ahhhhhhhh. Could this room be anymore perfect? I want it for myself!

A group of Aberdeen teenagers will travel abroad to lay a wreath in honour of the young Dons players who died during World War I.
The youngsters from Aberdeen Grammar School will pay a poignant visit to the Great War battlefields in northern France and Belgium in two weeks as part of a history project.
Aberdeen FC lost 16 men at the outset of the conflict– eight of them players and eight club officials.
They include former captain Alex Halkett, and reserve players Andrew Hamilton and Allan Lawrie.
Lawrie and Hamilton – both privates in the British Army – are commemorated at the Menin Gate at Ypres.
A former club doctor and Aberdeen Grammar alumnus, Joseph Ellis Milne, is buried at Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery.
The third year students will visit both sites on their trip.
Student teacher Jessica Mellis said: "The pupils were shocked by the war's impact – and not just on the players that were called up to serve.
"They were surprised at the effect it had on the club, and how the funding for football and the player numbers fell so dramatically."
The pupils contacted Aberdeen FC's Heritage Trust ahead of their trip to find out more about those linked with the club who were killed in the conflict.
The club invited them to its war memorial at Pittodrie and presented them a wreath to lay on behalf of all involved with Aberdeen FC.
Miss Mellis added: "Our third year has a lot of big Aberdeen fans, so knowing the club as it is today helped to humanise World War I.
"The pupils imagined today's players being involved in a massive conflict like the First World War.
"Their connection to the football club helps them understand the scale of what happened more than 100 years ago.
"The players were very similar people which helped link the past and present, and I think this has definitely sparked an interest in local history in a lot of them."
The Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing is dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient of World War I and whose graves are unknown.
Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery is the second largest cemetery for Commonwealth forces in Belgium and contains 10,785 plots.
