Funding is defined as any taxpayer return funded by IRS or state that covers the entire e-Bonus product price of $39.95 (account set up fee) and was funded between the start of eFile and April 30, 2019. The rebate will be sent to the ERO via ACH between May 15-30, 2019. EPS reserves the right to withhold any rebate funding if the ERO owes EPS money from duplicate checks, fraud or other issues. If the ERO office is in a declined status due to fraud on or before April 30, 2019, EPS reserves the right to withhold any rebate payments. Rebate availability varies by state and software.

Aaah, from the earlier sketch. Great!ReplyDelete
Very nice realistic shading, I especially like Batman's face here.
Oh man, that coloring is perfect.....perfect. Beyond cool!ReplyDelete
I wonder why your painting palette it´s so much subtle and refined than your work with Photoshop. (take the metamorpho covers for example) I´ts just an observation; i like both types of colouring. Excuse my english and greetings from argentina.ReplyDelete
I wish you'd paint more often Kevin.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Kheang. I've been doing a lot of painting over the last few months. Hopefully, you'll see the results before too long.ReplyDelete
Awesome news sir. I can't wait.ReplyDelete

Ryan Ngala's Poems™ | STN® Poetry™
It's was 6 am in the Morning,
When I was up sleeping,
Got up the next morning,
To see what I'm dreaming,
Pulled up my jeans.
Put on that Ralph Lauren shirt,
Rocked those Nike's,
Then went to work,
While going there.
Two boys looked at me,
Staring me down,
From the face to the knees,
Got up and started,
Down the way.
I was heading,
Then I started to sway,
They grabbed me from behind,
Punched me in the back.
Took off my shoes,
Took off in there Cadillac,
Stood there like a fool,
Thinking way to fast.
I wasn't cool,
I was just fat,
No time for some cheating,
I've just been beaten.

Probation officer never saw suspect in N.C. student murders
The probation officer in charge of keeping track of Laurence Alvin Lovette never met with the teenager, according to probation records.
Officer Chalita N. Thomas, pulled off the case in early March because of a drunken-driving charge, went by Lovette's mother's home in Durham once in late February, according to the probation records, but he was not there.
Then, on the day Lovette was charged with murder in the deaths of UNC-Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson and Duke University graduate student Abhijit Mahato, Thomas added a backdated account of missed meetings and phone calls into computer records, according to probation records.

Frequently Asked Questions
The European Film Gateway is a web portal offering access to film and film-related treasures collected and preserved by over 30 European film archives. It is a search engine which offers you centralised access to digital collections dispersed on different national websites. Instead of having to visit the individual websites you can search through them via the EFG. The EFG is neither a filmographic database nor a video on demand portal, instead it showcases and focuses on archival objects. All objects presented on the EFG are held locally at the archives contributing to the portal. To acquire material, please get in touch with the respective archives. Requests for material need to be directed to the individual archives, they cannot be handled centrally.
The EFG provides access to historic archival material held in 16 European film archives and cinémathèques. You can find selected films (documentaries, newsreels, advertising, early short and feature films) and a wide variety of film related material (e.g. still and set photos, posters, set design drawings, censorship and film production documents, laterna magica slides and much more). The database will grow with archives regularly adding new material. Since early 2013, the EFG offers access to a vast collection of films from and related to the First World War. These were digitised by 21 film archives in the scope of the EFG1914 project. To find out more about the collections accessible via the EFG, click here.
If you are not searching for anything in particular, check out the featured objects on the EFG start page or have a look at our collection descriptions, which are linked to materials belonging to the respective collections. For videos from the First World War years, check out our dedicated sub-page.
Entering a search term in the free-text field initiates a search through all data elements. Most object titles and descriptions come in the language provided by the contributing archive and in English at best. Hence, if you search a film title, a person or a keyword, you will only get results containing the exact search term that you entered. For example, if you search for "house" you will get different results than for "casa" etc. The same is true for film titles and their different international release titles as well as for spelling variants in person names. While we generally recommend using English terms to get the most results, entering the original title when looking for a film work will increase your chances of a successful search.
The EFG offers 4 different filter options that allow you to narrow down your search by archive, time period, object type (image, text, video) and language. Please note that the language filter refers to the original language of the individual objects, concerning mostly films and text.
The European Film Gateway is a showcase for the digital collections of European film archives. The objects you find on the EFG are part of the growing stock of archival material, Europe's film archives have been digitising over the past years. However, the material on the EFG represents only a small percentage of the analogue collections held by the archives. Due to copyright issues not all material held by archives can be made accessible via the EFG. Find an overview on what is available on the EFG here.
The European Film Gateway is the result of an EU-funded project which started in 2008 with 14 European partner archives. For the first time, a number of film archives made a joint effort to give online access to selected collections via one portal. Over the years, further European archives got connected to the EFG, mainly through the follow-up project EFG1914. Today, over 30 European film archives contribute content to the EFG and the portal is open for contributions from further film archives. To find out more, please don't hesitate to contact firstname.lastname@example.com .
The European Film Gateway is part of the Europeana network. The Europeana portal available at www.europeana.eu gives people access to millions of digitised objects from Europe's museums, libraries, archives and audiovisual collections. To get the data into Europeana, they work mainly with aggregators, rather than with individual institutions. The EFG functions as such an aggregator for the film archive sector. We gather material from the individual film archives, standardise the metadata, harmonise vocabularies and channel it into the Europeana portal. All the material that can be found in the EFG is also searchable via Europeana, where it is complemented by related material coming from other cultural institutions. To find out more about Europeana network please click here.
All films, images, texts and metadata made available on this site are copyright protected, unless stated otherwise. Only non-commercial, personal use of the website's content is permitted. All other rights being reserved, the total or partial reproduction of the website is strictly forbidden. For further information, please see the Terms of Use and get in touch with the archive holding the objects you would like to re-use.
Videos on the EFG are available for viewing only, there is no download functionality provided.
By filling in the registration form for My EFG, you get access to your free personal work space that allows you to bookmark, comment and tag objects within MyEFG. If you register you can also subscribe to our news alerts.
The metadata accompanying the available objects come directly from the contributing archives and thus are their responsibility. If you find mistakes, please contact the archive indicated as "Provider" on the respective detailed result entry.
Currently, only institutions can contribute to the EFG, no individual persons. If you would like to make your digital collections searchable via the EFG, please fill in the short questionnaire under Contribute Content and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please contact the archives directly to find out about their materials. Each entry in the EFG names the provider of the respective object. Here you can find a list of all contributing archives with a link to their websites.
For further questions or comments related to the EFG portal or project, please fill in the contact form. We will respond to your query as soon as we can.
The European Film Gateway showcases the digital collections of over 30 European film archives. The analogue films as well as the digital files are held by the archives contributing to EFG.

Kate's shiny hair and long legs are a triumph of will – and a possible injection of chestnut mare hormones in early adolescence – over genetics. For while her husband-to-be can trace his bloodline back through the ages, Kate is a commoner, which means that until about 150 years ago her ancestors were lumps of mud and spit.
But at some point one of these lumps proved a receptive vessel for the seeds of betterment, and in just a few generations the Middletons became sentient and moved to Berkshire, where Kate was born in 1982. Her parents Michael and Carole valiantly strove to overcome the many handicaps of not being royal and give their daughter some semblance of a decent life. Alas, despite their best efforts, they only managed to send Kate to St Andrew's prep school, Downe House and Marlborough College. For a time, it was feared that Kate would have to become an offal-fettler like her grandfather, or a drug meddler like her uncle, but all that changed when she secured a place at the University of St Andrews. There she took a degree in A-line skirtitude and leather bootery and stole her prince's heart.
A mere eight years and God-knows-how-many relaxing spa treatments later, and the knot that will one day ensure this beautiful young woman so recently sprung from the primordial ooze becomes Queen of England is about to be tied.
Although he looks like he could be ordered by the dozen from any public school in England, William Arthur Philip Louis is actually a very special young man. He was born 28 years ago to a beeyootiful princess and a hand- . . . well, a prince and, as is the way of these things, has therefore been a prince himself, and second in line to the Throne of England all his life.
He was educated at Ludgrove Preparatory School and Eton College, where he excelled at being a decent chap and not pulling the king-one-day line all the time. Breaking with family tradition, whereby all the heirs to the throne go up to Cambridge University even though the average English prince is intellectually indistinguishable from a boiled egg, he then attended the University of St Andrew's, Fife, where – as well as meeting his lovely bride-to-be! – he studied art history before changing to and finally graduating with an upper second-class geography degree despite labelling over a fifth of the world map in his final paper "Grandma's, back in the day."
After graduation, he continued to be a jolly good sort and did all sorts of dashingly manly things in the Forces although his position as second in line – did we mention? – to the Throne of England has precluded him seeing active service. He will now take over an increasing number of royal duties – smiling at crowds, giving speeches, supporting charities and smiling at yet more crowds.
• The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Friday 29 April 2011. Kate Middleton was said in a piece to be the likely future Queen of England (Meet the bride and groom, 27 April, page 2, G2). In an earlier edition, this also appeared: "Even George W Bush, who tried to portray himself as a homespun Texas rancher, would put on white tie and tails when banqueting with the Queen of England" (Cameron has spent years trying to play down his privileged background ..., 22 April, page 5, G2). But Elizabeth II is monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

"They feel like they have a connection with him even though they don't know him." ~ The McPherson School, KS
Stella Lewinsky Yollin
Please Contact Us if you are interested in viewing her whole biography.
Stella Lewinsky Yollin was born in 1931 in Tczew, Poland, in the middle of the Polish Corridor. She had two brothers, Maks and Romek. Her father and mother owned a small department store, selling men's and women's clothing. In 1938, her family moved to Lodz, Poland, ahead of the Nazis conquering the Corridor. They moved in with her Grandmother and she was sent to a public school together with Jews and Christians. One of her earliest memories of anti-semitism was at the school when other boys would taunt and yell at her, "Hey Jew, go back to Palestine!" Soon after, Stella's mother began to worry and pulled her out of school and tried to send her to a private school. However, the war intervened and made different plans. On September 1, 1939, the Nazis invaded Poland. Her father, being an ex-pilot, was drafted into the Polish air force. Within the week, her whole family was forced out of their synagogue, forced out of their textile businesses, forced to wear yellow arm bands and then yellow Stars of David sewn onto their clothing.
In February 1940, while they were living in Lodz, the Nazis formed the ghetto and they were forced to move out of their modest apartment and into an apartment that did not have running water or bathrooms. They had to cart their water up three flights of stairs and use the bathroom on the first floor. Stella decided to take books with her because her parents, being well educated, understood the value of books and intelligence. In the meantime her father was a POW in a German camp. They released him, telling him he would be called up for duty in the war against the Russians. He refused and one day before the Nazis officially closed the ghetto doors, he was reunited with his family on April 30, 1940.
Stella and her brothers were sent with other children to the Children's Camp for school within the ghetto. There they were given more food, education and a better place to sleep. One day, on a hunch, their mother came to the camp and pulled them out of the camp. The next day the Nazis liquidated the Children's Camp.
In the late summer of 1942, Stella fell ill and went to the hospital in the ghetto. Then, once again, her mother came to get her a day before the doctors said she was healthy enough to leave. The next day the Nazis liquidated the hospital.
In September of 1942, the Nazis began to deport the old, the sick, the children under 10 years old, and those who could not work. When the selections reached her families apartment, Stella hid behind her mother. Her brothers were taken but jumped out of the truck as it was driving away and ran back to their family. After the High Holy Days of 1942, half the ghetto was empty. Luckily, her family was still alive.
In the summer of 1944, the Nazis closed the ghetto and began to deport thousands of people everyday. Stella and her family were put on the last train and stuffed with one hundred other people into a windowless, hot cattle car without food, water, bathroom facilities and no room to sit or kneel. Upon arriving at Auschwitz, the German guards yelled at everyone, "Raus! Raus! Raus!" ("Out! Out! Out!"). She was placed in a line with her mother and other women. The men and boys were placed in a different line. They were marched through the Auschwitz gates, under the sign that read "Arbeit macht frei." ("Work brings freedom"). The first German officer they encountered was Dr. Josef Mengele, the infamous "Angel of Death" of Auschwitz. Pointing either left or right with a stick, and not saying a word, he sent Stella and her mother to the right and her aunt and cousin to the left. To the right was the camp; to the left was the gas chambers.
Stella's hair was completely shaved and she was forced to stand naked for two hours while waiting for a disinfecting shower. By late 1944, the Nazis stopped tattooing ID numbers on inmates and instead issued uniforms with numbers. Stella was always hungry and thirsty and resigned herself to drinking muddy rain water to quench her thirst. One morning after roll call, in which she was forced to stand with everyone in her barracks until everyone was accounted for, the entire barrack was sent to Dr. Mengele. Again, he performed a selection (left, right). Stella was sent to the left again and her mother was sent to the right. Stella was sent back to her barracks with two new friends, the Pinsker sisters.
One week later Stella was moved to Birkenau and was happily reunited with her mother. One month later Stella and her mother were transported on cattle cars to the Bergen-Belsen tent camp ahead of the advancing Russian army.
Chosen for work detail, Stella and her mother were sent to the Hambrien Salt Mine where her mother worked in the mine while Stella worked in the vegetable garden with other children. One day a Dutchman, taking pity on Stella, gave her a package. The German Commandant saw the exchange and demanded she give him the package. Stella refused and was beaten so badly that her nose broke. Later, after the war, it took two surgeries to repair her nose. All this for a slice of burned bread. That night the camp was shut down and everyone was sent back to Bergen-Belsen.
After returning, Stella and her mother were placed in the same barrack as Anne Frank. She does not recall whether she spoke with Anne because at that time, Anne was just another girl in the barracks and was not famous for her diary. On April 15, 1945 the British liberated the camp.
By this time she was 14 years old. She and her mother were sent to a Displaced Persons camp. Stella was sent to the DP School, where she met her three best friends. Stella lived with her mother at the DP camp until May 1, 1947 when they were granted travel papers to move to Israel.
In Israel, Stella's mother openly talked about the war and her experiences in the camps but Stella refused to talk about it. In 1958 Stella moved to Philadelphia and became a Hebrew teacher. In 1985, when the Neo-Nazi Revisionists began to deny the Holocaust, Stella felt compelled to reveal her story--after forty years of silence. In 1988, Stella's mother passed away peacefully in her daughters home.
Today Stella continues an active schedule of public speaking to schools and colleges the Philadelphia area. Speaking about the the stacks of letters she receives from students, "When I read the letters, it gives me the feeling that they are learning to accept all people, without hate."

The Special Session of the Oklahoma Legislature was put on hold Wednesday until a budget agreement can be made between the Republicans and Oklahomans.
House Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, said the stoppage was due to a disagreement over House Bill 1099, the cigarette tax.
"House Republicans do have a plan to address the hole without House Democrats, but we will need the support of the governor and the Senate, who we have continued to negotiate with this week," McCall said in a media statement. "While we are closer to an agreement, we are not going to waste $30,000 a day negotiating."
McCall said the House pledged to continue negotiating in good faith with the governor and Senate, but added that lawmakers were going off the clock.
"When there is an agreement in place, we will return and take care of the people's business," he said.

text: Page ContentThe FCAT 2.0 Writing test measures the writing elements of focus, organization, support, and conventions, which are integral to the Sunshine State Standards. Students demonstrate their writing skills by producing, within 60 minutes, a written draft response to one of two randomly assigned prompts. Grade 4 students respond to a prompt which asks them to tell a story (narrative writing) or to explain (expository writing). Students in Grades 8 and 10 respond to a prompt which asks them to persuade (persuasive writing) or to explain (expository writing). This assessment enables schools and districts to evaluate the overall effectiveness of their writing program and to monitor long-term progress. Because the writing prompts are changed each year, year-to-year comparisons may be misleading. The most recent FCAT results can be viewed by clicking the links below. Scores reflect the average score for all curriculum groups including students in exceptional student programs, Limited English Proficient programs, and the general education program.

Like a lot of folks, I bought a new video card (GTX 960) only to find the PSU insufficient to boot up and run the machine.
I had a Rosewill 870W PSU but it's far too large for the XPS 8700 case, it bumps against the DVD/Blu Ray drive so I bought a new one. A Corsair 750.
On the chance this is also too large, does anyone have recommendations for PSU upgrades?
The stock PSU is fine for a GTX 960. Secure Boot must be OFF , Legacy CSM and option roms must be ON.
And Bios must be at least version A10.
Dell XPS 8700 System BIOS update "A11", Fixes: , Enhancements: "Support Win10 OS."
Dell XPS 8700 System BIOS update "A10", Fixes: "GTX900 Series Video Black Screen.", Enhancements: "Enhanced system usability."
Dell XPS 8700 System BIOS update "A08", Fixes: , Enhancements: "Enhance USB3.0 capabilities."
The A10 bios is here and on the XPS 8700 page here.
* Download/Save the file to the windows desktop
* Before running A10, I would install the prior Bios in order
* Disconnect any external hard drives, keys, printer, scanner, etc. You only want the USB mouse, USB keyboard, LAN, monitor connected
* Run the executable from Windows
* Allow the system to complete the installation and restart automatically. Do not force a restart or power off
NEW thread started to discuss XPS 8700 Nvidia GTX video card upgrades
Place holder for new thread to discuss XPS 8700 AMD video card upgrades
We and Nvidia are looking into the issue, but understand, we only "test/validate" those video cards in my list. Our warranty does not cover non-OEM video cards NOT on our list. Ultimately, it will be up to the XPS 8700 Team and our Legal Team to decide if Dell is going to allocate resources to fix an issue with non-validated, non-tested 3rd party hardware. All I can do is funnel the data to them. Below are the Dell validated/tested OEM video cards for the XPS 8700 and our 460w power supply =

My computer would not boot with the standard 450W PSU and GTX 960 installed. That's why I asked for recommendations for PSU upgrades.

are you on BIOS version A10?
did you plug in the PCIe power to the card?
the OEM PSU is fine with a GTX 960
The card I bought, GTX 960 isn't on that list as working with the standard 450W PSU. I've installed a new PSU and updated BIOS, so let's see what happens.

iMedPub is an Open Access publisher. This means that all papers published can be accessed and downloaded for free by anyone. The Open Access movement evolved from the difficulties clinicians and researchers had accessing important work in their field because of the financial barriers put up by the traditional limited access publishers. This has sometimes meant that research paid for from public funds can only be accessed by the reader on payment of a fee.
To the author, Open Access means there is a processing fee for the paper. This is to cover the editorial costs of the submissions, publication, and archiving of your paper. Many journals now use this model and many research funders require publication in Open Access journals – so much so that many will pay the publication fee. If you are unsure about this in regard to your own work, contact your funding body or the institution where you did the work and ask if they do this.Open Access publishing is only possible because of electronic publication. All iMedPub journals are published electronically and amongst a number of things this means that your paper can be accessed by anyone from any part of the world. It also means that papers are not rejected because of print constraints or size of the paper.

|In this scree shot, a guy comes inches from death
from a ribbon of molten steel shooting out
of equipment at a steel factory. Yikes!
This causes more molten steel coming from the furnace to burst out in the form of a long snake like ribbon of hot melted steel that can go anywhere.
Of course, if you're hit by something like this, you're dead.
Watch how close this guy came from dying a really horrible death. It's from December, 2016

1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough (I actually make my own and if you have a favorite sugar cookie recipe, I say take the extra time and step and make it yourself)
1 bag semisweet chocolate chips
3 cups chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1. Heat oven to 350 (325 for dark or nonstick pan). Press sugar cookie dough evenly into bottom of ungreased 13x9 inch pan.
2. Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cups pecans over dough. Press lightly and set aside.
3. In 2 quart saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat. Stir in brown sugar, caramel topping and graham cracker crumbs. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Pour over crust in pan; spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cups pecans.

Houston Bail Bond Tips
Houston Bail Bond Tips
This page is a resource containing useful advice related to bonding services and Houston bail bond tips.
What is Bail?
In short, Bail is the security – cash – or bond given that allows an accused person to be temporarily released from custody so that they can continue their lives while preparing for court.
What determines how much Bail is?
Bail amounts in Texas are set on a county level by the County Bail Boards. Annually, the county reviews the bail schedule and publish it for public and law enforcement use. When setting bail amounts, public safety is always the first consideration. The more severe the crime, the higher the bail amount. County bail schedules will generally include bail amounts for crimes as well as crimes plus extenuating circumstances.
How much does it cost to bail someone out of jail?
This is a question best answered by a licensed bail agent. Please contact us using our secure form or call one of our Access Bonding Service Agents at713-223-3101.
How do I pay for the Bail Bond?
We accept checks, cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. In addition, we know the cost of thebail bond is often more than many people have at hand. For this reason, Access Bonding Service offers various payment options with flexible financing and payment plans.
What happens when a person is arrested?
When a person is arrested they will be taken to a local law enforcement station for processing and booking. Processing and booking includes fingerprinting, pictures, and nation-wide computer database searches.
What are the differences between other bail services and Access Bonding Service?
There are many companies in Houston that offer various bonding services but we at Access Bonding Service know that it takes years of experience to understand the complexities of the legal system.

An official website of the European Union. See all European Institutions
High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini has presented the third progress report on the implementation of the European Union Global Strategy, "The EU Global Strategy in Practice - Three years on, looking forward", which will be discussed by the EU Foreign and Defence Ministers at the Foreign Affairs Council on 17 June 2019 in Luxembourg. The report looks at the progress achieved over the past three years, since the presentation of the Global Strategy in June 2016, in five priority areas - the security of the Union, state and social resilience to our east and south, an integrated approach to conflicts and crises, cooperative regional orders and global governance for the 21st century - and provides possible orientations for the way forward in the coming years.
Every year we celebrate World Oceans Day to remind everyone of the major role the oceans have in everyday life. In return we owe it to the ocean to take action to protect it as best we can. The EU plays an important part in ocean activism. Three years ago, together with the High Representative Federica Mogherini, the EU set out an International Ocean Governance agenda, for the future of our oceans, proposing 50 actions for safe, secure, clean and sustainably managed oceans in Europe and around the world.
We have one Earth… and we all share it. Many environmental challenges are global by nature, and can only be tackled through a comprehensive approach that works far beyond the borders of the EU, like the issue of climate change. As we mark World Environment Day, Climate Diplomacy Weeks are underway and several EU Delegations and partners around the world are actively doing their bit for the environment and to protect our planet.
EU Delegations around the world are celebrating Climate Diplomacy between 27 May to 9 June 2019, by reaching out to communities and partner organisations, highlighting positive global action and collaboration on climate change. Several events are organised with a focus on climate action in the EU and beyond.

We weren't poor, but we had to be careful with our money. My father was offered a job as a magistrate. It wasn't in town, but in a village in Caprese. In late autum they set out for Caprese on horse back. My mother was pregnet with me in the womb. On March 6, 1475 I was born.
4: When my father's term in office was over I didn't return home with them. Instead they left me with a stonecutter's family. When I was still a baby I was brought back home to stay. But when I was six my mother died and I was brought back to the stonecutters family. I was old enough to try his hammer and chisel. When I was ten i was brought bac k home, because my father had remarried.
6: My father enrolled me in a grammer shcool in Florence, there I learned how to read and write. My father wanted me to grow up to be a well polished gentelmen, but I had other plans.
7: In my spare time I would find some paper and I would just draw. When I was thirteen I asked my father's permission to quit grammer school and become a artist's apperentice. My father was outraged, he tried beating sense into me but I wouldn't give up.

Submitted by jgordon on
Extracted from the Business Observer – July 6, 2016
The Jamaica Manufacturers' Association (JMA) must pay close attention to the significant implications of Great Britain's departure from the European Union on Jamaica and the Caribbean, according to Metry Seaga, JMA president.
"The United Kingdom is Jamaica's sixth-largest export market with an export value of US$80.9 million. Once Britain leaves the EU, in effect Jamaica and our Caricom (Caribbean Community) counterparts will have no structural relationship with that country. I strongly urge the Government of Jamaica to not only monitor the developments, but make haste in creating a strategy to counter the impending fallout," the JMA president insisted.
He was speaking at last Wednesday's JMA annual general meeting at the organisation's Duke St office in downtown Kingston where he was returned as president.
In his acceptance speech for the presidency Seaga noted: "Coming on the heels of the JMA's 70th anniversary, we must continue to aggressively pursue opportunities to create employment and wealth for all Jamaicans. The manufacturing sector remains one of... the most viable areas for such pursuits."
The president also celebrated the gains made by the manufacturing sector in 2015, including the fact that the sector expanded by 3.1 per cent, contributed 8.6 per cent to gross domestic product, employed approximately 73,000 individuals, and had exports valued at US$483 million.
He reasoned that the sector was able to achieve these gains by taking advantage of "favourable economic trends that are expected to remain consistent": low inflation rates, decreasing lending rates, low oil prices, and an increase in demand due to the adjusted tax threshold which becomes effective this month.
On the other hand, Seaga lamented the devaluation of the Jamaican dollar and called on Government to create "an environment of certainty" and to "ensure stability".
Seaga sought to address concerns raised by a member of the JMA regarding factory space and the quandary involving the Factories Corporation of Jamaica (FCJ) and the Auditor General's Department (AGD). The Jamaica Observer had on June 15 stated that the AGD recently reported in Parliament – based on a regulatory audit of the FCJ – that there were "several alarming breaches of government guidelines… including spending on multimillion-dollar projects which have been delayed or were not completed".
"We have to initially negotiate and negotiate because they (FCJ) want US dollar rent [for factory space]. When you have to work so hard to pay US dollar rent and see your money as a customer going down the drain, it hurts, it really hurts," the JMA member said, while appealing to his president to ensure that the matter does not become another "nine-day wonder".
The JMA member also proposed that factory space should be leased with the option of purchasing after three years.
In response Seaga conceded that the "FCJ has not served our purposes well". He continued: "Manufacturers, we hear your call for factory space, retail opportunities and fair trade." He added that the JMA was working with the Government and FCJ on an industrial factory space development programme.
On the matter of financing, raised by the same member regarding securing credit facility from the National Export Import (EXIM) Bank, the JMA president said the association will be unveiling two financing facilities.
"Sometime in early July, we will be signing an agreement with the EXIM Bank at a press briefing, where there will be approximately $1.5 million available to each member who qualifies for 'uncollateralised' loans," Seaga stated.
"We do have a facility with NCB (National Commercial Bank) which gives up to $1 billion, and the interest rate for that is nine per cent …" he added, pointing out that the loan facility has a mixture of secured and unsecured components.
Seaga, who will serve a two-year term, will be joined by newly elected Deputy President Richard Pandohie, also CEO of the Seprod Goup, who replaced executive chairman of Corrpak Jamaica Limited, Howard Mitchell. Jason Dear of No Brand Chemicals was re-elected as treasurer of the JMA.
The newly elected executive was congratulated by Jamaica Exporters' Association President Michelle Chong, executive director of the Bureau of Standards of Jamaica Yvonne Hall, and a representative of Jamaica Promotions Corporation.
The executive will be assisted by a board of directors which includes: Simon Roberts, Ian Forbes, Steven Sykes, Catherine Goodhall, David Martin, Paulette Rhoden, Christopher Powell, and Howard Mitchell.

Ocracoke Island reopens after power is restored
Power has been restored on Ocracoke Island and officials have reopened the remote Outer Banks town to visitors after Hurricane Arthur slammed the island last week.
Tideland EMC said its crews had to repair 45 utility poles damaged by the Category 2 storm. The power was turned back on over the whole island Saturday night.
Road crews also repaired some damage on N.C. 12, which links Ocracoke to its ferry terminal.
Now that the electricity is on, ferry service has resumed and the state of emergency on the island is lifted.

Get the Details About One Direction's Rumored New Single 'One Chance to Dance'
Will One Direction's new single be 'One Chance to Dance'?
According to producer Naughty Boy, who co-wrote the track with Zayn Malik, the answer is probably.
"I'm actually really excited. There's a real possibility it'll be the first single," he told the Daily Mirror. "Look at the smile on my face! Simon loves it. He even texted me about it."
While the rumor is that Zayn raps on the track -- which Emile Sandi and Rumors also worked on -- it is his vocals that Naughty Boy says people will be surprised by.
"I couldn't believe the way he sung on this song, and I think that's going to surprise most people," Naughty Boy said. "He glides on it."
Of course, this is not the first time that the producer hinted that the track may be the band's next single. Just last month, he revealed that the song may be the first release off of the group's upcoming album, and hinted even more at its sound:
"It sounds like them and it sounds like me," he said at the time. "…it does sound like them. But the natural 'next' them."
We can't wait to hear it!

We provide advanced machining solutions to metal-cutting manufacturers in Eastern PA and Southern NJ.
A 50% bonus depreciation on new equipment purchases has been extended to 2013. Unlike Sec. 179 there is no cap on the amount of equipment that can be depreciated under this bonus depreciation provision.
The Section 179 expensing allowance has been increased to $ 500,000 for new and used equipment purchases ordered and placed in service in 2012 and 2013 tax years. Moreover, the cap on how much equipment can be purchased to fully enjoy the write-off increase to 2 million dollars (after which the amount that can be deducted phases out dollar for dollar).

From the Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients
February/March 2003
Medical Journalist Report of Innovative Biologics: Cancer Remission Rates
Increase from Use of the Safe and Effective Lipoic Acid Palladium Complex
by Morton Walker, DPM
|Order this issue!
"I had this terrible bone pain in my head, spine, ribs, and all over. Then the doctor told me he had discovered holes in my skull the size of nickels and dimes. I felt just terrible pain and needed to sleep all the time to escape it. I took pain pills and sleeping pills. It turned out the final diagnosis offered by my newly acquired oncologist that I had been struck by multiple myeloma," states 67-year-old clergyman Kenneth Walker of Fox Island, Washington. "On March 19, 2001 he told me the diagnosis and in June he advised that because my anemia was so severe, 'The cancer is ravaging your bone marrow you have less than three months to live unless you undergo chemotherapy.'"
Also referred to as malignant plasmacytoma or plasma cell myeloma or myelomatosis, multiple myeloma is a disseminated neoplasm of marrow plasma cells. The disease infiltrates bone to produce osteolytic lesions throughout the skeleton (particularly in the flat bones, vertebrae, skull, pelvis, and ribs). Standard treatment is cytotoxic chemotherapy using cyclophosphamid or melphalan both administered with prednisone to suppress plasma cell growth and control pain. The medical profession considers this disease incurable. According to a respected reference source, within three months of diagnosis 52% of patients die; within two years, 90% die.1
"Today, this same oncologist advises me that if I was visiting him for the first time, he would not suspect cancer had ever been present. The treatment I researched and adopted on my own saved me," affirms Reverend Walker. "At the doctor's request I have documented what he describes as 'such a fantastic result.'"
Illustrative of the "fantastic result" for Ken Walker is that no symptoms of multiple myeloma remain. He is now retired and enjoying a leisure life to the fullest. During the late summer of 2001, for example, the retired clergyman and his wife spent six weeks circumnavigating Canada's Vancouver Island in their sailboat. During the week just prior to Thanksgiving 2002, he flew to Aruba to engage in scuba diving with dive master and Oriental medicine specialist Carlos Viana, OMD, who practices holistic medicine in Aruba and throughout the Netherlands Antilles.
Reverend Ken Walker (no relation to the author) is utilizing the newest concept in nutritional supplements, an organic "metallovitamin" and amino acid produced under three patents first issued by the US Government in October 1995 to electro-biochemist and former US Navy dentist Merrill Garnett, PhD, DDS, of Islip, Long Island, New York. This metallovitamin derived from a lipoic acid and palladium complex, will be described in detail.
Breast Cancer Remission for Sarah J. Jones
"During February 2002, I discovered a lump in my left breast that seemed pretty big," says Sarah J. Jones of Denver, Colorado. "Because I could not get an evaluation appointment at the Sally Jobe Diagnostic Center in Greenwood Village, Colorado for several weeks, I researched the holistic medical literature on my own and took a number of nutritional supplements," Sarah says. "When finally I was seen at the Sally Jobe Center, their multiple Doppler ultrasound films confirmed my breast lump as potentially cancerous. The radiologist browbeat me to have a biopsy, which I refused because of what I had learned from my reading about the spread of cancer from biopsies.
"With hands on hips and challenge in her voice, the head nurse at Sally Jobe Center announced to me, 'From their star shape, I guarantee that the cells in your breast lump are cancerous.' "If that be true," I wondered, "why do I need a biopsy?"
Sarah is married to cancer researcher Bob Jones, inventor of the Cavitat®, a sonogram diagnostic device for detecting neuralgia-inducing cavitational osteonecrosis (NICO) arising from implanted root canal teeth. The Cavitat® is renowned for its diagnostic endodontic excellence among holistic, biological, mercury-free dentists such as those who are members of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, the Environmental Dental Association, the American Academy of Biological Dentistry, and the Holistic Dental Association. The enlightened dentists who are members of these professional organizations consider Sarah and Bob Jones holistic dental visionaries.
"Not then or now do I receive physician-administered cancer treatment. The physician who is supervising my Doppler-ultrasound evaluations, Ob-Gyn specialist Asela C. Russell, MD, keeps insisting that I must undergo biopsy, chemotherapy, and radiation," Sarah Jones says. "The radiologist at the Sally Jobe Center's Invision Department, Virgini Stefanoudakis, MD, notes about me: 'Due to her strong beliefs in holistic medicine, she [the patient] may or may not agree to biopsy.'
"I have never undergone biopsy. Near the end of May 2002, after speaking on the phone about my breast cancer to Emmy McAllister, the director of Health Solutions Now!, Bob learned from her about the same anticancer substance containing minerals, vitamins, and amino acids used successfully by Reverend Ken Walker. Then my husband did his own literature search on the substance, Poly-MVA. Consequently, I added this liquid amino acid metallovitamin to my nutritional supplementation, two teaspoonfuls four times a day taken in purified water," confirms Sarah. "I've continued this supplementation on my own without help from any oncologist, except that Sally Jobe Center Ob-Gyn Associate Asela C. Russell, MD, monitors the size of my tumor."
Sarah Jones concludes, "After she performed an examination of me on November 8, 2002, Dr. Russell wrote on her prescription pad: 'Sarah Jones' left breast mass is significantly smaller. [Now reduced to] approximately 1.5 by 1.4 centimeters [2.1 cm3] maximum dimensions.'"
Within six months of beginning her program of nutritional supplementation with Poly-MVA, this most recent oncological measurement for the patient's cancerous breast lump shows a reduction from her original March 15, 2002 tumor measurement of 5.382 cm3. The malignant breast tumor of Sarah Jones had shrunk by 67 percent.
Both Sarah and Ken Walker are experiencing dramatic results from their use of the inventor's Poly-MVA anticancer concept. The Poly-MVA name comes from the combined terms Poly meaning "many, much, more than one"; M indicating "minerals"; V signifying "vitamins"; and A symbolizing "amino acids."2
The PolyMVA Anticancer Concept
A new principle in the nutritional healing of most cancer types is being presented here in the form of Poly-MVA, the enzymatic complex of polynucleotide reductase which assists in correcting malfunctional nucleic acids in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of genes.3
To explain: the nucleotide component is a single building block or step up the "spiral staircase" of DNA. Nucleotides show up as vital units in DNA because they are the basic molecular structures that control cell division and replication. The reductase enzyme catalyzes oxidation/reduction by which any substance gains one or more electrons; and this enzyme invariably assists in bringing about DNA repair. Subsequently, the polynucleotide reductase that is part of the Poly-MVA molecule biochemically affects multiple units of DNA by functioning as a gene-restoring nutrient.4
As stated, the Poly-MVA molecule is a lipoic acid palladium (LAPd) complex, which accomplishes such therapeutic restoration in several ways:
1) Its vitamin complex portion improves synergy with other essential nutrients inside the errant gene.
2) Its metallic components activate cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12).
3) Its alpha lipoic amino acid component aids in energy transfer within cells, which characteristically is highly specific for transferring electron energy from a normal metabolic hydrogen carrier to nucleic acids.
Poly-MVA's inventor, Merrill Garnett, DDS, PhD, emphasizes that he chose to bind palladium (Pd) to alpha lipoic acid (ALA) because this amino acid is both water and fat-soluble and able to travel everywhere in the human body, even through the blood-brain barrier, taking the palladium molecule with it.
Dr. Garnett, whose Garnett McKeen Laboratory is located in Islip, New York, has produced a self-published book, First Pulse: A Personal Journey in Cancer Research. In it, the author-scientist offers a philosophical, highly technical but interesting anecdotal-filled discussion of how he came to create his invention. Dr. Garnett searched for singular substances for binding together the various ingredients which make up Poly-MVA. He found the therapeutic component in the platinum-derived palladium mineral, poisonous in the hands of an allopathic dentist, but life-saving for someone suffering from cancer. Yet Pd would be poisonous to cancer patients too, if it were not bound tightly to alpha lipoic acid and "sequestered" in the molecule as cobalt is sequestered in vitamin B12. Thus, Pd forms an organic metallovitamin-lipoic acid complex that joins with cobalt (Co), a part of the vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) complex.5
Dr. Garnett created Poly-MVA based on knowledge unknown before he discovered the Second Genetic Code, a huge scientific breakthrough and probably the crowning achievement of his career. (See the Garnett book for details about the highly complicated Second Genetic Code discovery.)
Dr. Garnett discovered that palladium acts as an excellent catalyst for combining oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H); the metal absorbs over 900 times its volume of hydrogen. He adapts Pd for strengthening the actions of other molecules too; e.g., iron (Fe) holds together the active parts of hemoglobin, and its holding action is reinforced in the presence of palladium. Other amino acids besides alpha lipoic acid make up some part of the Garnett formulation.
Poly-MVA Eliminates Brain Cancer for Mark Olsztyn
Now 38 years old, Mark Olsztyn, the son of Stanley R. Olsztyn, MD(H), popular holistic and homeopathic physician of Phoenix, Arizona, was diagnosed in 1993 with a Stage IV frontal lobe brain tumor the size of a walnut. After excision it was judged to be a low-grade pilocynic astrocytoma. Recommended follow-up was merely with periodic diagnostic Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The imaging was done for five years until Mark decided he was in wonderful shape with no more need for diagnostics.
"While working in Boston, Mark eventually visited his local physician for a routine checkup and a second tumor was found to have grown in the same location of his brain. Surgery turned up that my son now was affected by glioblastoma multiforme, a much more serious condition than the first," explains Dr. Olsztyn. "The tumor showed as unencapsulated, highly malignant, growing rapidly, and infiltrating extensively. In Boston, he took a full course of radiation therapy and then started on chemotherapy. Realizing that he was not going to live very long, Mark decided to return home to Phoenix expecting to die with his loved ones around him.
"When he came back to Phoenix in early 1998 I became an active participant in his care," states Dr. Olsztyn. "I put him on a nutritional program, carried on discussions with oncologists about chemotherapy, and acquired Poly-MVA for Mark's daily use. I invited both Dr. Merrill Garnett and Dr. Albert Sanchez, Sr., to lecture about it at our monthly Arizona Homeopathic Medical Association meeting.
"While simultaneously taking Poly-MVA and chemotherapy, my son decided to discontinue the chemotherapy altogether because of severe side effects he was experiencing. He therefore uses only his regular large daily doses of Poly-MVA," Dr. Olsztyn says. "From mid-1998, the only contact Mark has had with conventional oncological medicine is for diagnostic MRIs. Poly-MVA is the only treatment he has taken, and for nearly five years there remains no visible evidence of tumor regrowth. My son is asymptomatic and semi-annual MRI examinations are negative for brain cancer.
"I have recommended Poly-MVA to many people because of my extremely favorable impression of the Garnett concept from several viewpoints: First, the theoretical explanation of how it works makes sense," states Dr. Olsztyn. "Second, the product is completely safe and definitely effective for healthy tissue. Third, it is highly selective for malignant tissue, by influencing oxygen, water, and electrical inputs to the malignancy.
"Patients I've observed taking Poly-MVA have thrived. Numbers of them are following its protocol now. In my opinion Dr. Garnett and Dr. Sanchez are providing a really well thought out, safe treatment for all types of malignancies. They should be commended," affirms Dr. Stanley R. Olsztyn.
The Poly-MVA Mechanism of Action
As reported in An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer, "A major factor in the success of Poly-MVA has been to provide an electron energy transfer mechanism from normal metabolic hydrogen carriers to nucleic acids. Poly-MVA induces energy-dependent changes in the shape of DNA or RNA [ribonucleic acid] as a result of the new reduced state it induces in the nucleotides."6
Dr. Garnett's newly conceived molecule of lipoic acid palladium (LAPd) complex repairs the abnormally altered gene that sets potential cancer mechanisms in motion by following the recommended protocol for PolyMVA. The now deceased oncology therapist Rudy Falk, MD, of Barrie, Ontario, Canada, had repeatedly stated, "The greatest use of Poly-MVA is as a cancer prophylactic."
Dr. Falk experimented with Poly-MVA for several years at the University of Toronto; he was one of the first physicians worldwide to investigate the new anticancer remedy. After years of research he firmly believed that ingesting 1/2 tsp. daily of Poly-MVA would prevent cancer. Today there is an important ongoing Practioners' Study of Poly-MVA to see if Dr. Falk was correct; that it's a preventative. The volunteer practitioners and their families are participating in this 20-year study to see if they can beat the odds against cancer, because as high as malignancy statistics are among the general population, they are even more elevated among health practitioners.
A general surgeon from the Dominican Republic, Ahmad Nasri, MD, took over the late Dr. Falk's Barrie, Ontario practice nearly two years ago. Continuing to utilize Poly-MVA onward from 1997 in his own country, Dr. Nasri advises: "Going back almost fifteen years, Dr. Falk had combined the Palladium Lipoic Complex with hyaluronic acid as a targeting agent and applied them together for their anticancer effects, both intravenously and orally. [Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan found in lubricating proteoglycans of human synovial fluid, vitreous humor, cartilage, blood vessels, skin, and the umbilical cord.]
"Dr. Falk and I also had added low dose chemotherapy, high dose vitamins, H2O2, other minerals, and vaccines to Dr. Garnett's organic mineral complex. Poly-MVA was one of our most important cancer remission tools," continues Dr. Nasri. "With Dr. Falk working in Canada and me in the Dominican Republic, we achieved excellent results against most cancers. We observed tumor shrinkage, cancer down staging from Stage 4 to Stage 2, pain reduction, and additional therapeutic effects. Cancer patients we had started on this protocol even eight years ago remain in good health by self-administration of the oral liquid and periodically receiving intravenous booster injections of Poly-MVA. My practice today involves following the patients' progress with tumor markers, and resuming their IV treatment if necessary. Today I can definitely offer at least six cancer case histories of patients who stay in good shape from their taking Poly-MVA."
Poly-MVA is manufactured as a liquid mostly for oral ingestion, although some physicians administer it intravenously (see the procedure reported below by David C. Korn, MD(H), DO, DDS, of Apache Junction, Arizona).
Dr. Falk's original anticancer usage protocol strictly for cancer prevention consisted of only 1/2 teaspoonful a day of Poly-MVA. For therapy, a new and updated Poly-MVA protocol is now enthusiastically recommended by the Advanced Medicine and Research Center (AMARC) of Chula Vista, California. The protocol is presented in a publication written by Albert Sanchez, Sr., PhD, EdS, and made available by AMARC.7
Poly-MVA Administered Intravenously
"Since PC Spes was removed from the market by the FDA almost two years ago, I have substituted the administration of both intravenous and oral Poly-MVA for prostate cancer patients and found it to act effectively. After receiving the new product IV for six or eight weekly injections and simultaneously taking the liquid in water, my male patients find their prostate specific antigen (PSA) markers come down. They go on to take the oral liquid Poly-MVA alone for approximately ten or twelve weeks more. This protocol affords great results. Recently two of my patients dropped down to a PSA of one (1) from much higher markers," states David C. Korn, DO, DDS, MD(H), of Apache Junction, Arizona.
"I believe that saturating the blood with Poly-MVA insures the nutrient's elevated dosage swiftly penetrates into the prostate area, the brain, and other organ sites. The patient with blood saturation of Poly-MVA goes through a physiologic range of reactions illustrated by an elevation of body temperature," warns Dr. Korn. "I administer the treatment for lymphoma, brain cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and more.
"Insulin potentiation therapy works well in conjunction with Poly-MVA. But for elderly men with bone pain from prostate metastases who are frail, my preference is to administer the Garnett treatment alone. It acts just like a 'smart bomb' for pain relief, requiring four or five hours of the IV Poly-MVA. Based on an educated estimate of tolerated IV liquid, my staff and I gradually increase the dosage to 15 or 20 cc," advises Dr. Korn. "I additionally include vitamin E, CoEnzyme Q10, lycopene, saw palmetto, and other prostate-specific nutrients.
"My impression is that the Poly-MVA molecule actually behaves like a mild chemotherapeutic agent, but it is safe and not destructive. Moreover, the Lipoic Acid Palladium Complex is highly effective for increasing cancer remission rates," confirms David C. Korn, DO, DDS, MD(H).
Recognized Poly-MVA Therapeutic Benefits
From the established therapeutic effects of its alpha lipoic acid/palladium complex, Poly-MVA provides at least 13 recognized anticancer benefits. The benefits are reproduced here from observations described by Dr. Merrill Garnett in a series of reports published on his animal studies conducted at the Garnett McKeen Laboratory in Islip, New York. One by one over time, he has advised that the lipoic acid/palladium complex (LAPd) does the following:8
1. LAPd causes an indefinite variety of immune system responses, but with specific manifestations as indicated in the twelve additional attributes listed below.
2. LAPd seeks out and destroys cancer cells anywhere in the body by stealing their electromagnetic energy.
3. LAPd invigorates normal cells and helps to repair any damage the invasive cancer may have left behind.
4. LAPd reduces tumor size or causes the tumor to shink.
5. LAPd produces an idiosyncratic set of effects which include a pattern of lag-arrest-slow death of cancer cells from an inhibition of their energy metabolism.
6. LAPd prevents sterol biosynthesis, thereby preventing new cancer cell plasma membrane synthesis.
7. LAPd shows a very large fraction of sensitive cancer cells as a morphological feature.
8. LAPd promotes the growth of proliferating normal cells surrounding a core of central tumor necrosis consisting of dead cancer cells.
9. LAPd stimulates the infiltration of leukocytes for the removal of cancer cell debris.
10. LAPd has absolutely no toxic reaction no adverse side effects.
11. LAPd accomplishes its therapeutic benefits in both animals and humans.
12. LAPd works against cancer of many types not only as an orally administered liquid but also perhaps even more effectively as an intravenous injection.
13. LAPd reduces the incidence of cachexia with a potential for increased body weight of the frail cancer patient.
Being aware of the LAPd actions in Poly-MVA, Robert D. Milne, MD, Medical Director of the Milne Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, has employed the metallovitamin complex for a family member and for the adjunctive nutritional healing of cancer in numbers of patients. He does not treat cancer but offers his patients nutritional support for their cancer. Poly-MVA is one of the more vital nutrients that Dr. Milne recommends.
"After undergoing a full oncological evaluation, my father-in-law at age 69 asked me to help him with a potentially deadly 14-cm by 2.5 cm-size Stage 3 transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder producing right-ureter obstruction," explains Dr. Milne. "Hospitalized in a critical care unit for ten days with acute respiratory distress syndrome from his adverse reaction to chemotherapy, my father-in-law was no longer a candidate for cytotoxic therapy. Upon my educating him about Poly-MVA, he undertook a therapeutic trial of this nutritional agent. With the Poly-MVA, I also recommended that he take 500 mg daily of coenzyme Q10 and 25 tablets daily of pancreatic enzymes. The treatment proved successful for him.
"His original tumor biopsy taken July 2001 was reported by the pathologist as 'invasive carcinoma Grade 2 with invasion into the muscularis propria.' Using just the nutritional program I had recommended," says Dr. Milne, "a report on the six-month followup biopsy of my father-in-law's tumor on January 11, 2002 stated, 'There is no cancer.' And his CAT scan showed, 'No evidence of the tumor in this patient's bladder.'
"I believe that the Poly-MVA adjunct for this patient was exceedingly helpful, and the work of Dr. Merrill Garnett is truly remarkable. It's different from any other therapy that has ever been done against cancer," says Dr. Robert D. Milne. "Based on my father-in-law's excellent result and the results experienced by many others, I truly believe that Poly-MVA is worth trying by any person who has cancer or wants to prevent its onset."

Harness Racing
Harness Racing is one of the oldest type of horse races. People have bet on this type of race since the Roman chariot races. Modern harness racing may not be as dangerous as Roman races, but they have only exploded in popularity since early times. Harness racing is different from the more well known "flat" racing in a number of ways. Some harness races are run with the horse under saddle, but the majority are not. The horses are hitched to a wheeled cart, and must run the race at a specific gait. There is no difference in how a bettor would place bets on a harness race, however. The only restrictions on what bets can be placed vary on the track.
The Cart
The carts used for these races is a very small, lightweight cart. The cart is called a "sulky" and these are very small two wheeled carts made for only one person, the driver. Current sulkies are extremely light. The restrictions on these carts are very exacting. The sulkies may only be made of certain materials. Racing sulkies are even lighter than the training sulkies. They are designed to be as fast and aerodynamic as possible to give the driver the most advantage during the race. Even just sitting on these sulkies requires skill as there is only a very small seat for the driver to balance on.
The Horse
Harness racing in North America is restricted to Standardbred horses. However in Europe other gaited breeds are allowed, and there are even specific races for other gaited breeds. Gaited horses are preferred for harness racing because of how fast and smooth thier gait is. Many unfamiliar with the sport assume that "forcing" this gait is unnatural, and they are incorrect. While all horses can trot, only a few special breeds have the genetic ability to "gait". The hobbles placed on the racing horses do not force the gait, they only discourage breaking into a run. Breaking into a run forces the driver to pull the horse outside the race until they resume the gait.
The Race
Harness races can be raced on the the same racetracks as flat races, however there are racecourses specifically designed for harness racing with banked corners and no inner rail for safety reasons. The lack of an inner rail allows the driver to pull the horse and sulky out of the way, and lessens the ability to "box" in opponents. Harness races also typically start behind a motorized gate for a pacing start in North America while other countries prefer a standing start. The motorized start brings the horses up to the start line slowly to allow all the horses to begin the race at the required gait before pulling out of the way. The usage of whips in harness racing varies. The whip is used to signal the horse either by tapping them on the rump or striking the side of the sulky. Some countries have banned whips altogether.

Engineering Dean Leo Kempel said the investment from Consumers Energy gives some of MSU's youngest students a chance to explore career options in the diverse energy industry.
"Consumers Energy is a partner from the first day a student is a Spartan Engineer all the way through full-time employment," Kempel said. "They understand the importance of supporting MSU's young talent through outreach and professional experiences."
"We are pleased to build on our strong relationship with Michigan State University. We want to help provide a world-class educational experience to engineering students and give them the confidence that world-class opportunities await in our industry," said David Mengebier, president of the Consumers Energy Foundation. "This grant and relationship exemplify our commitment to developing and retaining engineering and other talent with STEM expertise in Michigan."
The partnership between Consumers Energy and the MSU College of Engineering currently has 34 MSU students in paid internships, who bring critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as a keen willingness to learn, to their summer jobs.
Consumers Energy, which began supporting CoRe in 2010, was the program's first corporate sponsor.
A formal celebration of the contribution will take place later in 2017 at MSU.
Consumers Energy: The Consumers Energy Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Consumers Energy, Michigan's largest utility. Consumers Energy provides natural gas and electricity to 6.7 million of the state's 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties. For more information, go to www.ConsumersEnergy.com

Field Music are a band that have been on the music scene for a long time, but have so far escaped my sonic radar. All this changed about a month ago when I first heard their new album, Plumb.
I came across their latest output after hearing (I Keep Thinking About) A New Thing one day on 6 Music. Discovering it was by Field Music, I decided to investigate their recent output. And it was worth my while.
While it's fairly slow tempo, Plumb is littered with sonic bleeps and trickery to keep the listener interested. In parts, I hear a lot of Pink Floyd, and some of the string flourishes bring Electric Light Orchestra to mind. Certain tracks – such as From Hide and Seek to Heartache even echo the Beach Boys.
I won't begin to analyse the lyrical content of this album, as frankly, I haven't delved that deeply into them myself as yet. Suffice to say – even on the strength of the music alone – I highly recommend checking out this album.
I'll leave you with this. Let me know what you think!


text: After seeing these pics of Madison Beer at the 2017 MTV EMAs, I'm not sure why I downloaded the pics of Demi Lovato at the 2017 MTV EMAs. Seems like a waste of time now. I think this might be my first time ever posting pics of Madison Beer. [Does Google search] oh, because she's 18. Way too old for Roy Moore. I feel pretty good about my chances now.
