The Liquidyn P-Jet CT can dispense quantities as small as 3nl at frequencies of up to 280 shots per second. It can apply dots, beads or .lines of low to medium viscosity liquids with high repeatability and greater than 97% accuracy. This level of performance was achieved by making improvements to the driving mechanism together with the introduction of a dispensing needle which can be easily changed, thus making it particularly convenient in situations such as the dispensing of highly abrasive materials or frequent process changes. All fluid handling components can be separately autoclaved, which may enable its use in certain medical or food applications.
As explained by Intertronics MD Peter Swanson, "The Liquidyn P-Jet CT adds to our capability for high speed dispensing of low to medium viscosity products. Whether we are concerned with dynamic small amounts of dispensed materials or jetting greater volumes, this Liquidyn valve is precise and fast. It can be used for filling, sealing or coating applications."

Night Mode is great - it would be even better if there could be an option to abandon night mode when the screen comes on, and restore Night Mode (during the night) when the screen goes off again :-) If I have notification of Night Mode on, I can abandon Night Mode manually by tapping on the notification, but there is no way to easily restore Night Mode when I'm done. Would be good if this could all happen automatically.

Hollow Man (2000)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Paul Verhoeven
Starring: Elisabeth Shue, Josh Brolin, Kevin Bacon, Kim Dickens, Rhona Mitra
Revealing mistake: Sebastian Caine wears a latex mask and latex gloves in order to appear near-human. The mask he wears is fairly long, and covers his neck, and the tops of his shoulders and collarbone. However, there is a scene in which Linda and Matt are helping a nauseous Sebastian reach the toilet, where he vomits (invisible fluid) into it. In this scene, when Sebastian breaks free from them and runs to the toilet, we can see that his arms and chest are also visible, skin-colored. The mask he wears only reaches the very base of his neck, so it is possible that the actor playing the invisible man did not realize that the tops of his arms and chest were visible. (00:49:20)Tom

Yogurt is one of the best foods you can eat for a healthy snack or breakfast, and as it has the same texture as many "comfort" foods, such as cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise, it works as a fantastic substitute to lighten up your meals.
It's rich in protein and calcium to fill you up and strengthen your bones and muscles, and it's also a great source of probiotics, meaning it boosts digestion and keeps you regular. Beyond it's long list of nutrients, it's also super versatile, so you can use it in sandwiches, smoothies, baked goods, soups, tacos, lasagna, and more.
However, all those benefits can go to waste if your yogurt is loaded with sugar and unhealthy ingredients, which many brands contain. A solution? Make your own at home. Not only will you save money, but you'll also make a recipe that's pure and tasty. Here's how to make your own yogurt at home, thanks to Chef Hari Nayak of Café Spice.
"In India it is very common to make yogurt known as 'Dahi' at home. I grew up eating homemade yogurt. It is very simple to make and it is delicious," Nayak says. "You will need a starter which acts as a culture to make the first batch. A good starter yields good yogurt. You can use store-bought yogurt as a starter or make a homemade version," Nayak says.
Always remember to save a tablespoon of the starter for the next batch, as well. It is always a trial and error process, and you might need the first two or so times to understand the right time and temperature in your kitchen.
"Once you get that formula, the process becomes easy. I love using this homemade yogurt to whip up lassi drinks, raita dipping sauces, baked yogurt desserts, or I can simply eat it sweetened with honey for breakfast," Nayak explains.
Yogurt Starter
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
1. Bring milk to boil then cool until it is lukewarm
2. Add lemon juice to milk
3. Cover milk and allow to set in warm place (100-110° F) for six to eight hours
- 5 cups whole milk
- 1 tbsp yogurt starter (can sub in store bought yogurt)
- Heat whole milk in sauce pan and bring to a boil. Then simmer on low to reduce the quantity to four cups.
- Remove from heat and cool milk until lukewarm temperature of around 115F.
- Add one tablespoon of thick whole milk yogurt starter to the milk and mix well with whisk (make sure the yogurt is not cold or straight from the fridge).
- Transfer mixture to a clean pot (preferably a earthenware pot for better results).
- Allow to sit in a warm place, around 100-110° F, for six to eight hours.

All about Shooters Shoot
The first thing you are going to want to do in order to become a better shooter is to keep your eyes up and to look at your target. The earlier you look at your target, the easier it is for you to mentally calculate the distance of how far you are leading to a better shooting percentage. Keeping your eyes on your target earlier also gives you more time to gather your feet and have a strong and tight base for a more accurate shot. You want to land in front when shooting. What I mean by this is after you shoot, where you land should be in front of where you jumped. This leads to you putting your momentum forward with your shot instead of fading away against your shot. The next thing I want to talk about is being set before you even have a chance to take off and shoot, having that base results in a quicker shot and an advantage is gained over your defender.
Another big tip is all about your follow-through. Every coach drills into their players' head to always hold their follow through. Thinking about the end result, the follow through, leads to mentally skipping over the progression of your shot so you just shoot and not think about it. When releasing the ball and following through, you should have as relaxed of a wrist as possible and let the ball spin off of your middle finger. Too firm of a wrist leads to you pushing the ball instead of letting it go.
While in practice, try using a ball that is either multi-colored or has a significantly distance seems on the ball in order to watch your rotation of the ball once you shoot. This lets you receive feedback immediately so you can fix it right away if you need to add more spin.
Adding more spin helps soften the your shot and the bounce it may have on the rim. Next thing you need to do is to put great arc on your shot. The more linear your shot is, the less of a chance it has to go in due to the angle off the ball. Having a higher arc creates the rim to open up more to go in.

The Su-17 was a significant step in the development of the Su-7 to a more useful attack aircraft. The most important change was the introduction of swivelling outer wing panels. Although only the outer half of the wing span moved, and weight increased, the modification considerably improved take-off and landing performance, and allowed a larger weapons load to be carried. The Su-17M introduced the smaller, lighter and more powerful AL-21F engine. The Su-17M3 and M4 versions had an enlarged dorsal spine aft of the cockpit, originally designed for the second seat of the trainer version, but now filled with fuel. The Su-20 and Su-22 were export versions of the Su-17M2. The Su-22 had the Tumansky R-29B-300 engine instead of the Lyulka AL-21F. The larger diameter of the engine required changes to the aft fuselage. It resulted in a degraded performance, but in 1976 production for export began. Later models had the avionics fit of the Su-17M3 or M4.

The Herald Sun reports Delta Goodrem was unhappy about playing second fiddle to John Farnham before ending her partnership with manager Glenn Wheatley. "This past year has been wonderful, but Delta was alone," a source said. "Let's face it – Glenn was on tour with John (Farnham) nearly seven months of last year. If everyone does their sums, work it out. Delta was working on Neighbours all day, then doing her music at night." Sources said Goodrem's mother, Lea, took charge because Wheatley was busy, adding that Wheatley's relationship with Goodrem soured considerably after she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in July.
And The Nominations Go To… Delta Goodrem
The Sun Herald reports Delta Goodrem has received more than 100 nominations for Australian of the Year 2004, the National Australia Day Council has revealed. "We have had numerous nominations for Delta," a national council spokeswoman said. "She is obviously a really popular young Australian." Read more.
Hospital Worker In Trouble Over Photo Incident With Goodrem
A worker at St Vincent's Private hospital in Sydney has been severely reprimanded over an incident involving Delta Goodrem, according to the Herald Sun. The singer is being treated at the hospital for Hodgkin's disease, a form of cancer, when the man, a hospital porter, is thought to have approached Goodrem and tried to take a photograph of her while she was undergoing treatment, and then later was caught handing something to a photographer who had been waiting around the hospital.
Born To Aim For The Top
The Herald Sun reports that after 500,000 singles sales in Australia behind her, Delta Goodrem was about to hit the U.S. before being struck with Hodgkin's disease. "I've always felt drawn to releasing my music in America," Goodrem said. Last year she had a meeting with the then Sony super-boss, Tommy Mottola. "It was just amazing," she said of the meeting. The singer had been hampered with success in the UK due to her refusal to remove her clothes, and instead let her music to the talking. "I felt there wasn't a need for it and that doesn't feel right for me," she said.
Katie Underwood's Remarks On Delta Goodrem's Cancer
Former Bardot star Katie Underwood has weighed in on the recent news that fellow Aussie Delta Goodrem is battling cancer. She says on her official website, "This week Australia was shocked with the news that Delta Goodrem has cancer. Fortunately, her condition is curable and we hope she will recover well. My thoughts go out to her family who must be struggling to come to terms with what has been an amazingly successful year for Delta, only to be facing this terrible illness. It is hard to think of anything to report this week as it all seems so irrelevent in the face of such news. At times like these I feel grately to be happy, healthy and doing what I love – music. I'm sure Delta's love of music will be her saving grace, as it would be mine. Get well soon Delta – we are all cheering for you."
Delta Goodrem Diagnosed With Cancer
AAP reports Delta Goodrem has been diagnosed with cancer, her family said today. Goodrem was diagnosed with the treatable Hodgkin's disease following a series of tests last week. She is undergoing treatment for the cancer. "I want to assure all my fans that I will be fine and I will be back just as soon as my treatment is completed," Goodrem said in a written statement. "Knowing that I have your love and support is making a huge difference and I look forward to seeing you all very soon."
Delta Goodrem Excited To Talk Music, Not Comparisons
Delta Goodrem tells The Courier-Mail that it's not so much keeping the private from being public that concerns her during interviews as it is talking about what really interests her. "I'm really excited to talk about music and things," she says. "I get excited about talking about the album. I don't have anything to hide so I don't get worried when it comes to talking about things." Including comparisons to other Neighbours actresses turned pop stars, Holly Valance, Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia. "It always gets brought up but no one ever compares because it's a different style of music," she says. "I admire how hard Kylie has worked and how amazing she is. Hopefully you create your own path; you've got to run your own race."
Neighbours Star Tops Australian Charts
Contributed by otownluva4lifeuk:
Delta Goodrem, the latest star to come out of Australian soap opera 'Neighbours', has hit the top of the Australian charts with her debut single 'Born To Try'. 'Born To Try', co-written by Delta, was first heard on the soap and has since worked its way to the top of the charts.

Question: The SPLM ministers are ending the boycott by returning to the GNU. What has been achieved as far as the key issues that inspired the move in the first place?
Answer: In the first place, I'm happy to inform you and inform your readers through you that the SPLM suspension of its ministers has given a good result. First of all, we have been able to achieve all the issues that we set as the minimum package for the return of the SPLM ministers to government with the exception of the issue of Abyei. Now the ministers of SPLM are returning to government on the 27th of December, 2007. First of all, with the achievement that all the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) shall withdraw by the end of the year from the Southern Sudan especially from the oil areas and the JIU will take over.
Secondly, there is going to be established a system of transparency in the management of the oil sector. And for the first time the representatives of the Government of Southern Sudan shall participate in a management of the oil sector in the oil fields in knowing exactly how much is being produced. Also, Government of Southern Sudan representatives shall participate in the Marketing Committee which sells the oil produce of the Sudan.
Thirdly, there has been the funding of the Border Demarcation Committee, south-north border demarcation committee is fully funded . There was a delay now the funding has been availed.
And fifthly, the funding for the census has also been availed. This problem is resolved. The issue of the question is also resolved in the form of the census.
And sixthly, the process of the democratic transformation of the country will be going ahead with a clear agenda of reforming all the laws that are contradicting the constitution of the country. So all the [existing] laws that are not in conformity with the laws (of the constitution) are going to be repealed and we would be working together with all the political parties to achieve them, including the Electoral Law and [unclear]. Seventh, we are going to have a clear program of national reconciliation and healing -all these issues have been resolved, we have agreed and we have adopted a framework, timetable with the matrix of all these issues agreed to be implemented.
And on the issue of Abyei, the two parties have agreed to launch the matter with the presidency which will cease the matter, discussing it, until they find the solution. For us as SPLM our position is that the National Congress must accept to implement the ABC report as it has been agreed in the agreement. In total, we have achieved 90% of all what we have to get. Now we are on course of the implementation of the CPA and vigorously we'd be pursuing the full implementation as the SPLM team goes into the government.
On Aleu and Telar
Question: The former minister of state for interior Aleu Ayieny and former minister of justice Telar Ring claim the investigation committee that recommended to SPLM Chairman for the two to be 'disciplined' was unfair, arguing your own deputy Dr. Ann Itto chaired it. Your comments?
Answer: She should be seen as deputy member of Political Bureau and not as my personal deputy but as the deputy of the Secretary General and it has nothing to do with their positions, members of the committee. The two comrades have refused to appear before the panel of investigation and it was an investigation. They (Investigation Panel) proceeded to finish the investigations without them being there and made their recommendations to the Chairman who saw this as defiance to the authority of the SPLM in addition to their own violation of the Basic Rules. It was also indiscipline act against the authority of the Chairman, himself, who formed the committee. And he (Salva Kiir) proceeded to dismiss them based on their own behaviours and the fact that they have gone outside the SPLM sector and violated its basic rules and conducts. And so that is the decision by the Chairman and it is a legitimate decision by the Chairman. If they want to make any appeal on that they have the right to do it - that will be reviewed by the Political Bureau and the Political Bureau will come out with a decision.
In actual fact, the highest body of the SPLM which is the Interim National Council made the resolution and recommended to the Chairman to dismiss comrade Aleu Ayieny from the government and that is a resolution that is there and it was taken by majority of the members of the Interim National Council for what he has done.
Question: They say that the decision was taken by the Chairman and also they assert that the Chairman shouldn't be the one to dismiss them but the Political Bureau.
Answer: It was the Chairman that appoint them in the first place to the Political Bureau. It was not the Political Bureau who appoint them, it was the Chairman who appoint them.
Question: Were they dismissed because they were defiant or they broke the laws of the party and how?
Answer: They violated the laws of the party and they were attempting to divide the Movement.
Question: By accusing Your Excellency of allegedly plotting a coup against Salva Kiir; was that one of the issues?
Answer: That is one of (the issues). The other one of (them) is that they have made unsubstantiated accusations of attempting to divide the Movement of presenting as if there are groups working against groups or a group working against the Chairman, which is not true there was nobody working against anybody. And they failed to come to the investigation but they were defiant and refused that. And that is what led to them- this is one. For the case of Aleu, Aleu has made statements that he has not submitted any report about the information he has about the alleged assassination of our late Chairman and he made very irresponsible statements, continue to make them against Uganda without bringing forward any substantiated evidents - including when the Political Bureau met he did not submit this information and he went saying it in the media.
Question: : He (Aleu) accuses you of blocking the investigation for the late Dr. John Garang.
Answer: How?
Question: He says you don't want new investigation.
Answer - And did he raise this issue in the meetings or only in the media? Which meeting did he request for an investigation and in which meeting did he submit any report about his suspicions or about the information he has, which he uses as a basis to accuse Uganda?
Question: Is there anything else you would like to add?
Answer: No, I have nothing. First of all, comrade Aleu and Telar, having been members of SPLM, if they think they have any complaint or they would want to appeal, the structures of the SPLM are there and these structures will look into their appeal, and that is what I would say.
Question: Which brings me to the issue of Lam Akol; what is his status?
Answer: There has been an investigation about him and it is before the Chairman. The Chairman formed a committee and that the committee's submitted to the Chairman.
Question: There are already reports that he is out of the SPLM.
No, there is nothing like that. The Chairman has not taken his decision yet. So we will wait until the Chairman effects the decision based on that report.

About Danny McBride
As for the day, Danny McBride net worth is estimated at $25 million and this is quite an impressive fortune, having in mind that he has only been active in the entertainment business since 2003. Danny is stand-up comedian, screenwriter and producer, but as it usually happens, in wider society he is best known as an actor. During his career, which now spans over a little more than a decade, Danny has done roles of different types. He has tied to get some diversity on purpose: "As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before"- he is quoted saying. So let's take a closer look at his professional life and see how Danny McBride net worth reached its current heights.
First of all, you should know that the millionaire we are here to talk about has started his career in the entertainment business relatively late, when he was 27 years old. Before that, he has done variety of other jobs, including unqualified ones. In one of his interviews, Danny has shared a memory: "My first job was at an amusement park in Virginia. It was the worst. I loved the park but once I'd worked there all the magic was gone from it. It just turned into a place I hated and I've never been there since". If you have ever done a similar low-paid job, like waiting tables, I guess you can relate to his feelings…
Danny made his movie debut in 2003, appearing on All the Real Girls. Some three years later he has starred on The Foot Fist Way, the movie which he has also co-written. The low-budget comedy was a relative commercial success, grossing $245 thousand on a budget of $79 thousand. In 2007 the actor has landed a rather significant role on Hot Rod. However, the sport comedy has been way less successful than expected, grossing only $14 million against a budget of $25 million and receiving mixed or average critical reviews. Danny's romantic comedy that reached the cinemas the same year, The Heartbreak Kid with Ben Stiller, was by far more commercially successful. Even though the critical response to this film was even worse than that to Hot Rod, it grossed $127 million on a budget of $45 million. The actor has also featured on Land of the Lost, 30 Minutes or Less, Pineapple Express, Tropic Thunder, Observe and Report, Your Highness (which he has also co-written), Due Date and This Is the End. Each of these films has contributed to the overall growth of Danny McBride net worth.
As about his work on television, Danny is best known as a creator, writer, producer and the star of television series Eastbound & Down. The show has been running for 4 seasons and made a significant contribution to the current Danny McBride net worth.

Somebody's borrowing a lot of money from U.S. banks, belying the idea of a credit crunch.
But is the money going to the borrowers who need it most?
Federal Reserve data show that total credit extended by commercial banks has jumped sharply since late summer, even amid rising concerns that global markets' turmoil would cause banks to turn much more conservative in their lending.
Total bank credit outstanding has leaped to $4.5 trillion from $4.3 trillion in late July, seasonally adjusted. The total has risen 5% in about three months, versus growth of 2.9% in the five months through late July.
A more narrow category of bank loans--commercial and industrial loans, a key source of business credit--also has risen sharply in recent weeks, jumping $40 billion, to $950 billion, since mid August, Fed data show.

Edward Snowden is an American intelligence contractor who in 2013 revealed the existence of secret wide-ranging information-gathering programs conducted by the National Security Agency (NSA).
Snowden was born in North Carolina but at a young age his family moved to central Maryland, a short distance from NSA headquarters at Fort Meade. He dropped out of high school and studied intermittently between 1999 and 2005 at a community college. Snowden completed a GED but did not receive a college degree. In 2004 he enlisted in the army reserve as a special forces candidate, but he was discharged four months later. In 2005 he worked as a security guard at the Center for Advanced Study of Language, a University of Maryland research facility affiliated with the NSA. Despite a relative lack of formal education and training, Snowden demonstrated an aptitude with computers, and he was hired by the Central Intelligence Agency in 2006. He was given a top secret clearance and in 2007 was posted to Geneva, where he worked as a network security technician under a diplomatic cover. Snowden left the CIA for the NSA in 2009, there he worked as a private contractor for the companies Dell and Booz Allen Hamilton. During this time, he began gathering information on a number of NSA activities—most notably, secret surveillance programs that he believed were overly broad in size and scope. In May 2013 Snowden requested a medical leave of absence and flew to Hong Kong, where during the following month he conducted a series of interviews with journalists from the newspaper The Guardian. Among the NSA secrets leaked by Snowden was a court order that compelled telecommunications company Verizon to turn over metadata (such as numbers dialed and duration of calls) for millions of its subscribers. Snowden also disclosed the existence of PRISM, a data-mining program that reportedly gave the NSA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Government Communications Headquarters—Britain's NSA equivalent—"direct access" to the servers of such Internet giants as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple.
Snowden is the subject of two major films – Citizenfour, a documentary which won the Academy 2015 Award for Best Documentary Feature and the upcoming film, Snowden a biographical political thriller based on the book, The Snowden Files by Luke Harding and Time of the Octopus by Anatoly Kucherena.

Mayor Kleis Takes Latest Town Hall Meeting to the Streets [AUDIO]
ST. CLOUD - A brisk night in St. Cloud, but that didn't stop Mayor Dave Kleis from hosting his inaugural street-side Town Hall Meeting.
Armed with a heat lamp, Kleis stationed himself in a tent along the pedestrian-heavy zone of 5th Avenue and Division Street beginning at 9p.m.
He says the purpose of the unorthodox meeting is to greet folks on their way downtown for the evening, give them a place to warm up for a minute, and hopefully get the chance to discuss their individual concerns related to community and student safety.
Kleis says the upshot to a streetside town hall meeting is the chance to hear from people who might not typically attend a regular town hall meeting - people like SCSU student Alisabeth Kuol.
Kuol says she appreciates the efforts of the mayor and law enforcement to emphasize safety - particularly in the wake of the recent deadly assault against 20 year old Colton Gleason.
Kleis says, in spite of some high-profile crimes in recent weeks, he believes St. Cloud is a safe community - something he hopes to reinforce by staying out in the tent until 3 a.m.
He hopes the conversations had during the "meeting" will serve to remind students and others to look out for one another, and act safely and responsibly.

The Lost City of Z: it's completely appropriate that James Gray's ponderous, serious, lovely film has so many dreamy frames and shots, as it's telling the story of one man's dream (and obsession). Cinematographer Darius Khondji finds beauty in the deep and lush Amazonian jungles, muddy trenches, stuffy British rooms, and everything in between; his lighting is always enticing, as is its absence. But the photography is just icing on the cake, as the story is a nice, thematically rich one; the characters are interesting and well-defended by the good cast. Charlie Hunnam is very contained and convincing in the main role, and he is well-supported by Sienna Miller (who has a strong character to defend), Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland. Production values are top-notch, including costume design and art direction.

November 19, 2008 14:00 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2008) - Lucara Diamond Corp. ("Lucara" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:LUC) and partner Motapa Diamonds Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MTP) are pleased to report diamond recovery results for the first sample of Phase 2 of the Mothae bulk sample project in Lesotho. Processing of approximately 9,500 tonnes from the C2 kimberlite domain, sample C2C, yielded 568 diamonds for a total of 355.74 carats and a preliminary sample grade of 3.74 carats per hundred tonnes (cpht). All grades are reported on the basis of dry sample weight. The preliminary sample grade for C2C is consistent with two samples from the C2 domain processed in Phase 1 of the bulk sample program, C2A and C2B, which yielded sample grades of 2.81 and 4.67 cpht respectively.
Diamond recoveries were made using a continuous grease belt, for which operating parameters have been modified and improved between phase 1 and phase 2 of the bulk sample program. Tailings from the grease belt recovery circuit are retained and will be audited by means of a separate x-ray recovery circuit. Final sample grade for C2C will integrate results of this audit, together with finalized survey tonnage.
Sample C2C produced 28 stones greater than 2 carats and 11 stones greater than 5 carats. The average stone size for the sample is 0.63 carats per stone and the largest three diamonds recovered are 23.39, 11.68 and 9.73 carats.
Processing of approximately 10,000 tonnes of kimberlite from the C3 pit, covering a portion of the pipe that was not sampled in Phase 1 of the bulk sample program, is underway and results will be reported in due course.
Motapa and Lucara also report the initiation of a conceptual study to determine the requirements to establish a diamond mine at Mothae. Mineral Services Canada of North Vancouver has been retained to develop a resource model and JDS Mining and Energy of Kelowna, British Columbia has been retained to develop reserve estimates and a mine design. ADP Projects (Pty) Ltd of Cape Town has been retained as manager of the conceptual study and will develop a proposed overall mine site layout, infrastructure requirements and process and recovery plant flowsheets.
Lucara General Manager William Lamb noted: "Site development during Phase II has gone extremely well with mining and processing facilities being established to support the long term development of Mothae, while the encouraging grade results continue to exceed original expectations. The conceptual study will provide high level information which will be used to support ongoing project advancement and evaluation."
The sampling program is being carried out under the supervision of Dr. Tom Nowicki of Mineral Services Canada, a Qualified Person in terms of NI43-101.

Having enough sleep in essential for every individual. Whether you're an adult who desires eight hours of sleep or a child who wishes almost as twice as abundant, it's important that you have got a snug bed. In spite of the actual reality that there are many of us who believe that sleep isn't that important, they're not right. Not sleeping well or enough can have an effect on all your daily activities. Individuals who lack sleep have a serious time concentrating at their work or in college, and their mood is seeming to alter a heap of times throughout the day. This being said, you should place a ton of time and effort into selecting the proper bed as you'll surely exploit getting enough sleep and being relaxed.
White Loft Bed With Desk Advantages
The bed is raised and accessible by a ladder or among the case of low loft beds for young youngsters, stairs. This offers a world of opportunities to form a living area beneath the bed tailored to your child's desires. The most well-liked configuration are loft beds with desks that enable a quiet house for getting homework done and also offer enough house to accommodate a laptop that is therefore essential these days for obtaining the data your child wants to finish theirs comes.
Loft beds with desk decisions typically use simply one 0.five of the realm underneath the bed thus the other half can be used for a futon chair that doubles as an extra bed when opened out for sleepovers. Installing shelves next to the desk house is also an excellent method to stay books organized and accessible. Alternative decisions embrace dressers or storage chests for toys just to call some.
Selecting The Right White Loft Bed With Desk
On the opposite hand, a loft with a desk is not as smart as a daily loft. Lofts with desks take up more space than those without a desk. As opposed to the present, old loft beds have further house below them where you may be ready to position totally different pieces of furniture together with a desk. By selecting an old loft bed, you may get the further area in your area than you'd with the one that comes with a desk. However, the new house you may gain by picking an everyday loft bed is not as big as you might suppose, and also the excellence between these two can be seen solely in extraordinarily tight areas. Therefore if you are not equipping a very small area where each in.

Bahrain is a destination famous in the global circuit. Structures such as Dual Towers and Bahrain Financial Harbour of Manama are fascinating attractions.
The airport in Bahrain is one of the busiest places and Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat and Doha are all projects literally tamed from the sea.
As a result, Bahrain international airport receives numerous tourists. Bahrain can boost about enormous pearl deposits.
The rising trade of pearls has resulted in an increase in the numbers of people coming to the airport in Bahrain. This airport is situated on the Muharraq Island. This airport handles most of the flights that connect intercontinental destinations and even nearby countries.
The Bahrain airport expects its passengers to check-in two hours before the departure time. The national carrier, Gulf Air, also operates from this Bahrain international airport. Most of the Gulf Air flights tickets should be reconfirmed.
Some of the airlines that operate services to Bahrain are Air Arabia, Egypt Air, British Airways, Emirates, Lufthansa, Oman Air and Saudi Arabian Airlines. As there are numerous airlines operating, passengers look for cheap flights to Bahrain. Security as well as safety is the highest priority. The government, business partners, airlines and the authorities work together to ensure safety of the passengers.
The airport staff and the standard of services are given the highest importance as this creates a great impression on the tourists. The airports are facilitated with cafes, banks, ATMs, restaurants, gift and book shops, tourist office, bureau de change, communication center and an Islamic prayer room.
Apart from this the attraction is the award winning duty free shopping complex. Disabled also are featured with the best facilities. Car parking facilities are available at the terminal gates. Free shuttle bus service is available between the car parks with longer duration and the terminal. Rental cars and taxis are available in great choices.
The premium passengers are facilitated with discrete lounges, check-ins and relaxing experiences. However, availing cheap flights to Bahrain is very rare.

Jay Alaimo's satire of New England class ambitions, "Chlorine," is a multi-character comedy with lots of fine individual moments.
"Chlorine" stars Vincent D'Onofrio and Kyra Sedgwick as a married couple fed up with their static lives. Amidst this middle-aged upheaval, their teenage children struggle with their own fumblings toward adulthood.
Unfortunately, every time Jay Lifton's self-consciously quirky music kicks in, it undermines everything else. It sounds more like Lifton is making fun of indie comedies rather than participating in one.

"Chlorine" opens in theaters February 28th.

3 Steps to Ultimate Happiness
October 15, 2013 - Healthy Lifestyle Choice, Healthy Tip Tuesday, Life, Uncategorized
Do you find that you sometimes see the worst-case scenario flashing before your eyes? Do you find your mind overworking something that has not even happened yet, causing you stress? Do you sometimes replay scenarios in your mind and wish that they had played out differently? Do you feel tension or anxiety in your body in these moments? Well, the good news is that you are not alone. We all share this common experience of fear of the future and regret of the past that causes us tension in the body and causes the spirt to be in a state of unrest, or dis-ease. This state of unhappiness is the root of disease and weakness. Happiness is contingent upon presence. Presence is contingent on awareness. Awareness is contingent upon conscious Choice. In order to step into complete freedom and happiness we must apply discipline and practice. Here are the three steps that I have been finding to be the most effective:

You don't need to WOD on the regular to enjoy the annual Reebok CrossFit Games. Athletes show up from all around the world for a chance at becoming the Fittest Man or Woman on Earth, putting on a show that's impressive even to those who've never set foot in a box. (Last year, there was even a CrossFit Games wedding!)
The 2017 CrossFit Games were no exception. Australian athlete Tia-Clair Toomey just claimed her place as the new Fittest Woman on Earth, taking the title from last year's champ, Katrín Tanja Davíðsdóttir of Iceland, who finished fifth this year. Toomey's reign has been a while coming; she finished as runner-up in 2016 and 2015, both years behind Davíðsdóttir. And she recently made her Olympic debut, representing Australia at the Summer 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero last summer, taking fifth in her group for the sport of Olympic weightlifting (a staple in CrossFit workouts, ICYDK). (These benefits of Olympic weightlifting might convince you to give it a try yourself.)
"To be honest, you have to think about everyone who's there to support you (and) remember all the work you put in," said Toomey in a statement to the CrossFit Games. "(I feel) great, on top of the world."
Toomey edged out second place finisher, Kara Webb, by just two points. The final scores: Toomey with 994, Webb with 992, and Annie Thorisdottir with 964. Toomey demolished the competition during the Muscle-Up Clean Ladder workout (eight rounds of alternating bar muscle-ups and cleans), nabbing first place, and placed in the top five for the Heavey 17.5 workout (alternating thrusters and double-unders) and the Madison Triplet workout (five rounds of 450-meter runs and hay bale clean burpees).
Strong competition, stronger community. In moments of difficulty, it's often the ones next to us that drive us forward- forcing us to dig a little bit deeper, embrace the struggle & push past any obstacle in our way. #BetterTogether @tiaclair1 leads as we head into the final day of the Games with fierce competition by her side. #BeMoreHuman #CrossFitGames #CrossFit #FittestOnEarth #TeamReebok @crossfitgames @crossfit
Inspired by Toomey? You're not the only one.

There is no practical way to get top alkaline water from the store. You need your own ionized water machine. If you are looking for the healthiest alkaline water, a water ionizer is the best water machine you can buy. With any other method of creating alkaline water you will not have antioxidants in that water. For instance, Essentia is a good example of alkaline water from a bottle. However the antioxidants in ionized water have a half life of only a few hours. That means that even if Essentia was beautifully ionized at the factory, any ionized water sitting in a plastic bottle for more than a day will virtually be void of all antioxidants they ever had. Hydrogen (the antioxidant in ionized water) seeps right through plastic very easily. I'm sure that Essentia (or any bottled water claiming to have the benefits of tip alkaline water) has been sitting on the shelf for many days, or even weeks. So, you can expect to have absolutely none of the antioxidant benefits that are commonly experienced every day from water ionizer owners.
Information Regarding Installing and Using Water Ionizer
- All pH and ORP levels are approximate, depending on local water supply, because water ionizers don't always work the same in every location. If your source water is from your own well; from a whole-house softener; below 50 ppm of Calcium (hardness) or over 150 you should refer to whichever following page is appropriate to you, or just give us a call if you're not sure.

Hello All
I just recently got the Canon 7D and am overall very happy. However I have noticed that all my pictures seem to have a lot of noise in them, even at 100 ISO. Is this normal? I have noticed that when I look through the viewfinder and the image is out of focus the image is very grainy, but when I focus on the subject, this grain goes away, so it seem to be something in Camera, might this be the cause?
I might just be paranoid but when I printed the image below it became very apparent to me and that was only on an A4 print.
Here is a sample image.
and a closer crop to make seeing what I mean a bit easier.

I know it seems to be a common theme that we had a great weekend, but this really may have topped the charts. On Friday, we had a really bittersweet day. Not only was it the last day of school, we were saying goodbye to our incredible nanny who has been with our family the past couple of years. She is pursuing her career as a stylist (and is pretty darn talented), so we will still see her around. But, not seeing her every day is going to be hard on all of us. She was the glue to our family and honestly, I'm not sure how we will function without her. I'm sure we will learn, but the adjustment period might be a little scary! ;-)
Our boys finished 1st and 3rd grade, bringing home amazing report cards! I'm always such a proud mom when I get these. They can do a lot of things to annoy me and make me crazy, but when it comes to school, they work really hard. I'm super proud of their dedication in class. Not to mention the fact that they had really phenomenal teachers this year!
Friday night, we played in our first league playoff game. Finished with a WIN!!!!
Before heading to bed on Friday night, we set up all of the gifts for our baby girl to open when she woke up on Saturday. What a surreal moment for me. How can she already be TWO?!
She was pretty excited about her new trike!
She's lucky to have a daddy who loves her so much!
While my sister and I set up for her tea party, Adam took Brylie to the salon to have Krysta (our nanny) do her hair. Not many two year olds can say they have a hair appt for a birthday party.
I'll do an entire post about her party, but it's safe to say it was just about the cutest thing ever! Picture 13 toddlers running around in pretty dresses and bow ties, sipping on tea in their plastic cups, and having a ball.
Because our boys were obviously way too old for the party, I made them waiters. ;-)
We spent the rest of Saturday letting Brylie nap and getting the house cleaned up from the party. Saturday night, we headed out to one of our favorite restaurants for some birthday dinner celebrations!
And her gigantic strawberry ice cream dessert. As if she needed any more sugar that day!!
After dinner, we asked Brylie what she wanted to do, and of course, she chose the park! How could you argue on an 80 degree, perfect evening??
After putting the girls down, we celebrated summer with a looooong, late game of Monopoly with our boys. Seriously, they can hang! I headed up to bed well before any of them!
Sunday morning, Adam and Jake were out the door at 6am for an all day football event. I wasn't feeling up to single parenting it at church, after a busy Saturday, so we laid low and stayed in jammies until noon. The girls had a blast with all of Brylie's new toys (seriously, a perk of having two girls super close in age--they have the exact same interests)!
Brett and I laid on the couch ALL morning and read. It was absolute heaven. I had two cups of coffee and laid with a cozy blanket until lunch time. I don't remember the last time I did that. My girls played contently until then.
In the late afternoon, we headed to a friend's house for some slip n slide action...and a yummy BBQ dinner.
Our friend Mark, celebrates his birthday tomorrow, so we sang to both he and Brylie. As a side note: Brylie has a little, sweet crush on Mark. She has from the very beginning. We went down to their wedding in California last September and I think that's when it started. Since then, they've moved to WA and we see them every Sunday. She just loves him, wants him to hold her and watch her "hey Markie, watch this!" Anyway, I love that they got to celebrate their birthdays together, because I'm certain she'd pick him to be her birthday buddy, any day.
And one final note: with absolutely NO prompting from me (and probably me being more reluctant than I should have been the last few months that she was asking), we started potty training today. She really wants her ears pierced, so she's pretty motivated.
And I'm knocking on wood, crossing my fingers and doing everything I can not to jinx us....but, she had ZERO accidents the entire day! Including nap time. I'm a little nervous about tonight, but I'm praying she's as easy to train as Molly was. Say a little prayer for us! ;-)
Is it possible that we might be diaper free for the first time in 3.5 years?!
I had to include this last picture from tonight because it was just too funny. Watching the slip n slide while using the potty. #weddingslideshowmaterial

By Pat Bailey & Ron Giofu
Amherstburg residents, as well as the Amherstburg Police Service and Windsor Police Service will have to wait about a month before learning if Windsor will indeed take over the policing of the county municipality.
But if Amherstburg residents get their way, the status quo would remain.
At a special hearing of the Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) at the Libro Centre last Tuesday, only one local resident spoke out in favour of the proposed deal during the morning, afternoon and evening sessions.
John McDonald was the lone resident who lent his support to the proposal. He said if the sharing of equipment and resources result in a financial savings to the town, he's in favour of council's decision to give it a try.
The contract is for 20 years, with the ability to review how it's working out for both parties, every five years. It also allows for each party to opt out of the agreement given 18 months notice. The length of the contract was questioned at the evening meeting, as some seemed unaware that there were review periods every five years.
Mayor Aldo DiCarlo said the information has been public for some time and that the 20 year period was added due to concerns from residents that five years was not enough. He said the media "zeroed in" on the 20-year term of the contract in its reporting.
But Nancy Atkinson, 73, who's lived here most of her life had one question to ask.
"Why are we here today?" she asked as she made her submission before the OCPC and about 30 others in attendance.
For Atkinson, the recent announcement of an investigation into the Windsor Police Service should have at least served to postpone the application.
"To have this application move forward at this time does not look to effective and adequate policing for our community," she said.
But WPS Chief Al Frederick said the investigation has no real bearing on whether his police service can provide effective and adequate policing in Amherstburg, the test that they must pass if the OCPC is to approve the application.
The issues, said Frederick, are related to human resources, such as hiring and promotions, not their ability to serve and protect. He told the crowd at the evening session that "all police services are subject to oversight" and that Windsor police are working with investigators. He expects recommendations on how to improve the service to come out of the investigation.
"I embrace that," said Frederick. "I don't run from that. It doesn't frighten me. I'm completely open to this."
Frederick also told the group that if not for the fact that Amherstburg and Windsor are not contiguous municipalities, they indeed, would not have to appear before the OCPC.
He said since they do not share a border, the OCPC, a civilian watchdog agency that oversees policing in Ontario, must approve the application, based on whether it believes Windsor can provide adequate and effective policing, despite having LaSalle separate the two.
But Atkinson called for respect for the Amherstburg police, a service, she said that has offered a history of effective and adequate policing which has resulted in Amherstburg being named one of the safest communities in Canada on several occasions.
Denise Bondy echoed Atkinson's call to nix the application.
She said Frederick's talk of enhancements to services is not needed in a community such as Amherstburg. She said comparing Windsor's issues of drugs and murder to the problems in a small town like Amherstburg is more or less comparing apples to oranges.
"Windsor Police Service has issues, big city issues like guns, drugs, gangs, murder and violence in the downtown core and all that come with the border crossings," she said. "To date this year, Windsor has five murders," she added, "I don't think Amherstburg has had five murders since the inception of our own police department."
So, she said they have no need for the enhancements Frederick spoke of which include bomb dogs, tactical teams, etc.
To questions regarding the changes to the current Amherstburg Police Service, Frederick said policing in Amherstburg will not change.
He said the department will employ the same officers and civilian staff they have now. He said Amherstburg incidents will be handled by Amherstburg officers with the only time Windsor would step in, he said, is if the local department needed use of some of Windsor's experts or special units.
He assured the group no Windsor cruisers will be speeding through LaSalle to respond to local calls.
As far as Frederick is concerned, Amherstburg will enjoy a cost savings of up to $859,000 annually, while council has that number pegged at about $567,000.
In closing, Bondy pleaded with the OCPC to veto the application.
"The Amherstburg Police Service is effective and more than adequate for the needs of our community," she said. "Please don't make it less so by approving this application."
"It's not broken," she concluded, "don't try to fix it."
Frank Cleminson, a former member of the Amherstburg Police Services Board (APSB), said that the town's original 2014 motion called for a costing proposal from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and to solicit local municipalities as to the concept of sharing police services. He outlined the process and stated that a Sept. 14, 2017 letter from the OPP stated that the OPP would not participate in the process, that the town had not responded to several requests from the OPP to meet with council and that a renewed motion of council was requested by Sept. 30, 2017.
Cleminson said the evidence he presented "clearly shows" that "council's motion of Dec. 14, 2014 was not acted upon by administration nor was the motion ever rescinded" and that "administration failed to respond to multiple requests from the OPP for a meeting."
Citing quotes form Mayor Aldo DiCarlo in July 10, 2017 media articles, Cleminson contended that DiCarlo "still believed the OPP were about to deliver a costing proposal" and alleged that administration "failed to advise council of the Sept. 30, 2017 deadline to renew its interest with the OPP that resulted from the lack of communication from administration."
Cleminson was not asking for the OCPC to refuse the town's application, but not to provide approval "until such time as the town receives another costing proposal from the OPP (which we all know provides adequate and effective municipal policing) or council formally rescinds its motion of Dec. 14, 2014."
The Sept. 14, 2017 OPP letter, signed by superintendent commander of the municipal policing bureau Marc Bedard and addressed to DiCarlo, states that the OPP utilizes the information manual for the OPP Contract Proposal Process for all contract proposals.
"We have successfully been using this process since 2016 for the 14 Ontario communities that requested an OPP contract proposal," Bedard's letter stated. "The process prescribed in your Request for Proposal differs in significant ways from the process described in our manual. As a result the OPP cannot participate in your Request for Proposal."
Bedard wrote that "we have made several attempts to schedule an initial information session to explain to your council the OPP contract proposal process. Since we have not been provided the opportunity to do so, we recommend that you and your council familiarize yourself with the Information Manual, as it outlines all the steps involved in the contract process. This manual is kept relevant and up to date. Should your municipality still wish to proceed with a contract proposal for OPP policing services according to the timelines and processes described in the Information Manual for the OPP Contract Proposal process, we require a confirmation by way of Council resolution by September 30th, 2017."
A number of residents at the evening session also voiced concerns with the application to have Amherstburg policing switch to Windsor police while the latter is under investigation by the OCPC.
"I think the commission should take into consideration there are residents who are concerned," said Gregory Moore.
Moore called for the decision to be put off either until the next council or until the investigation is complete. He also questioned response times and whether Windsor police officers would be working in Windsor, noting that the environment is different in Amherstburg than in Windsor.
Windsor deputy chief Pam Mizuno emphasized that under the proposal, Amherstburg officers would still respond to Amherstburg calls and be based out of the current police station. She added that the number of officers responding to calls in town would not change and that "Windsor police officers will not be speeding through the Town of LaSalle to get to the Town of Amherstburg," Mizuno said.
Kevin Sprague said he already had concerns but he now has "even more serious concerns" after learning about the OCPC's investigation into the Windsor Police Service.
"If any of these allegations are found to be accurate as a result of the current investigation, I do not feel that the Windsor Police Service will be capable of providing adequate and effective policing to the Town of Amherstburg," said Sprague. "The Town of Amherstburg currently has a professional, adequate, effective and efficient policing service that makes Amherstburg one of the safest communities in Canada and switching to the Windsor Police Service at this time would be disturbing and inappropriate based on the current ongoing investigation which has just recently been made public."
Sprague added he has received quick service when he has had to call the Amherstburg Police Service but has had to wait hours for service in Windsor. He said he does not want the latter level of service coming to Amherstburg.
"This would not be adequate and effective policing," he stated.
Sprague believed any decision to abolish the Amherstburg Police Service should be delayed until the investigation in Windsor is done and a final report publicly released.
Local resident and lawyer Anthony Leardi cited the issue of severance pay, stating the abolition of the Amherstburg Police Service "involves the contracts of approximately 30 police officers. This is a large number of police officers."
Leardi added: "The Amherstburg Police Service will cease to exist as a result of council's decision. That means all of the police officers, the thirty or more of them, have their employment terminated. They would be entitled to severance pay. They have no obligation to seek employment with Windsor Police Services. The submission made by the Town of Amherstburg does not confirm that there are written agreements in place regarding severance pay. In fact, the submission confirms the opposite: there are no agreements in place at all."
While speaking at the hearing, Leardi quoted a section of the town's submission and stated "At this stage it is expected that all serving members will accept positions with the Windsor Police Service. If someone chooses not to do so, a suitable settlement will be negotiated for that employee with a fallback to mandatory arbitration if a settlement cannot be agreed upon" and contended that statements confirms that the town has not made any agreement dealing with severance pay.
"If that is the case, then the town has not complied with section 40(1) of the (Police Services) Act," said Leardi.
Leardi also believed the process used by the town "excluded the OPP from participated." He also used the Sept. 14, 2017 OPP letter as an example and it was Leardi's contention that "the Town of Amherstburg specifically prevented the OPP from participating in the process. The Town of Amherstburg did this by failing to submit a request using the OPP Contract Manual. If the Town of Amherstburg had submitted the request using the OPP Contract Manual, then the OPP would have been able to bid on this contract. I am highlighting this fact simply to make it clear that Windsor Police Service was not the only party interested in providing policing services to Amherstburg. The OPP was also interested but was prevented from participating."
Leardi requested that the OCPC deny the town's application to abolish the Amherstburg Police Service.
Pat Simone addressed the hearing, stating her comments were her own opinions and "in no way reflect the opinions of any committees that I may sit on."
"As I stated at the February council meeting, when council was deciding this matter, there is a human rights complaint against the Windsor Police Service and we have now learned that there are a number of other complaints against the Windsor Police Service," said Simone. "If these are substantiated it indicates that Windsor is antiquated and treats its employees poorly. How do you think Windsor will deal with outside personnel if it is substantiated with their own employees? I feel that the outcomes of the complaints will have an impact on this contract. If Amherstburg policing moves to Windsor, we will be following Windsor policy and procedures. We need to ensure that we are putting our officers in an environment that is fair and has equal opportunity for all. If we are putting the officers in an unfair work environment this is not adequate and effective for the officers and/or residents."
Simone added that the Ontario Police Service Act clearly defines the minimum that is requires by a police service to provide "adequate and effective service." She said while Windsor police may fit the criteria, "I feel the residents of Amherstburg deserve more. Could OPP provide a more adequate and effective force? This will not be known as the OPP made several attempts to speak with council to discuss the town of Amherstburg RFP process but the OPP received no response from council. The residents of Amherstburg deserve the most adequate and effective force. We don't know if we're getting that with Windsor if we don't know what OPP will provide."
Also questioned was the Windsor police business plan, as Simone noted the last business plan available online is dated 2011-13 and the last annual report was dated 2012. She also questioned response times and the Windsor police's efficiency.
"My thoughts this evening are not meant to be an emotional appeal but to provide my thoughts on whether this contract will provide adequate and effective policing for Amherstburg. In my opinion there are too many questions and issues that still need to be determined," said Simone.
Const. Shawn McCurdy, president of the Amherstburg Police Association, said approximately 75 per cent of his membership want to remain with the Amherstburg Police Service.
"Nothing against Windsor. We have an excellent relationship with them," said McCurdy.
McCurdy said the association is "actively working" on the severance issue and that the association was assured that everyone would be offered a position with the Windsor Police Association, should the OCPC grant its approval.
OCPC associate chair Stephen Javanovic said they have reviewed transcripts of the four public meetings and the petitions they have been sent. He said their role is to determine whether adequate and effective policing would be obtained under the proposal and to listen to the concerns of the public.
DiCarlo outlined the Windsor Police Services' proposal, stating Amherstburg will "exist as a distinct entity within the Windsor Police Service," the town will be policed by the same officers that are currently serving with the Amherstburg Police Service, all officers and civilians will work out of the existing Amherstburg police station and that "despite any problems that might be identified during the OCPC investigation, the policing environment and culture in Amherstburg will remain as it is."
The mayor stated "the exceptionally high level of public safety in Amherstburg will continue," the town will "continue to have effective control" of policing, existing staff will be treated fairly, there will be "significant" annual savings with the Windsor proposal providing "significant future cost avoidance," and added "the contract will provide detailed, practical measures that ensure that Amherstburg could realistically reconstitute a municipal police service in the future."

Conceptual Systems Theory: A Neglected Perspective for the Anthropology of Consciousness
As anthropology becomes more interested in consciousness and its numerous states, and with a slowly increasing appeal to neuroscience for insights and explanations of consciousness, there is an understandable interest in the components of consciousness and how they combine into alternative states in different sociocultural settings. One of those components should be the complexity of information processing producing the knowing aspect of consciousness. The author introduces an approach to this aspect in the form of conceptual systems theory (CST), a neo-Piagetian model of cognitive development, which has been used to good effect to explain information processing in social situations but heretofore neglected by anthropologists. The neuroanthropological underpinnings of CST are discussed, as is the range of potential applications to ethnological and ethnographic problems.
