Review of studies on land use and land cover change in Nepal
01/04/2016, Journal of Mountain Science
Abstract Land use and land cover (LULC) in Nepal has undergone constant change over the past few decades due to major changes caused by anthropogenic and natural factors and their impacts on the national and regional environment and climate. This comprehensive review of past and present studies of land use and land cover change (LUCC) in Nepal concentrates on cropland, grassland, forest, snow/glacier cover and urban areas. While most small area studies have gathered data from different sources and research over a short period, across large areas most historical studies have been based on aerial photographs such as the Land Resource Mapping Project in 1986. The recent trend in studies in Nepal is to focus on new concepts and techniques to analyze LULC status on the basis of satellite imagery, with the help of geographic information system and remote sensing tools. Studies based on historical documents, and historical and recent spatial data on LULC, have clearly shown an increase in cropland areas in Nepal, and present results indicating different rates and magnitudes. A decrease in forest and snow/glacier coverage is reported in most studies. Little information is available on grassland and urban areas from past research. The unprecedented rate of urbanization in Nepal has led to significant urban land changes over the past 30 years. Meanwhile, long term historical LUCC research in Nepal is required for extensive work on spatially explicit reconstructions on the basis of historical and primary data collection, including LULC archives and drivers for future change.

Anti-White racism by Muslim gangs has turned certain areas of France into dangerous (NO GO) zones, where firefighters won't even answer a call unless they have an armed police escort.
One in five Frenchmen have been verbally and/or physically abused by Muslim immigrants who seek to destroy the culture and values of France. Anti-Islamization groups such as Generation Identitaire, comprised mainly of young men, have been formed to take security issues into their own hands. Not surprisingly, Leftists have allied themselves with the very people who would just as soon kill them – Muslims.

Everything I have learned and worked toward for pretty much my entire scientific career culminates in the Chief Science Officer role at USP.
Developing documentary standards and Reference Standards is the core of what we do at USP. These standards help to assess the quality, strength, identity, and purity of chemical medicines, food chemicals and ingredients, dietary supplements, and biologics, among other items.
When it comes to making and administering medicines – precision is paramount. To ensure consistency – the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacists and healthcare professionals benefit from a universal reference. That reference is a pharmacopeia – a reference book (and today an online resource) of very specific formulations and quality tests for drug ingredients and medicines.

Jana Eyrova 1972
Marta Vancurova, Jan Kačer
I have not gotten a chance to re-watch this version, so this review will be in the old "bite-sized" format
A friend was able to find this rather obscure adaptation made in 1972 Czechoslovakia. The copy she found is in Czech with no subtitles, so I can't understand a word of it. However, I will comment on the overall tone that I received from the four hour adaptation- melancholy and artsy (perhaps reflective of a low budget). Not as much passion to certain scenes as one would expect, but I did enjoy this adaptation and they did a good job with condensing the material. Except for the Lowood portion of the story, which they cut out.

Cushing man sentenced on gun charge
Portland — A Cushing man was sentenced Monday to 30 days in prison for possessing firearms after he had been convicted of domestic violence.
Joseph Dinapoli, 28, was sentenced in U.S. District Court by Judge George Singal to 30 days in prison and three years of supervised release for possessing firearms after being convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, according to a news release from Acting U.S. Attorney Richard Murphy.
He had pleaded guilty on Aug. 22, 2016.
According to court records, in June 2008, Dinapoli was convicted of a misdemeanor count of domestic violence assault and as a result was prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms.
In June 2014, Dinapoli was found in possession of two handguns.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Mr. Galkowski, you've been asked multiple times why you consider it a BS law. Why shy away from answering a simple question about something you apparently feel so strongly about?
Just for the record, Lawrence,
About twenty years ago, our neighbor was shot and killed while in bed with her two children. The children saw their father kill their mother. She had a restraining order on him. He was very violent and had threatened to kill her on many occasion. So, IT IS NOT BS LAW!!!!! Your statement is just plain ignorant!!!!!
Please explain why it's a bs law not to possess a firearm after being convicted of domestic assault. Seems only smart to me.
Domestic violence assault is not a BS law. Convicted and sentenced.
Lawrence must be a buddy, an NRA member or just plain ignorant.
Which part do you consider BS, Lawrence - the law against beating one's partner or the resulting ban on possession of firearms?
convicted and sentenced for possession of firearms because of a bs law.

Do you guys think that the world is full of morons not to even distinguish between a suffering and soccer (goooal)? Well, am not even complaining about the typo error, but as a concept itself, this ad sucks. At least you guys should've kept the word 'goooal' alone, and nothing else. Then, it might've worked. Or rather, it might not have looked ridiculous at least.
actually, the word 'gooal' is what made me think he might be celebrating a goal.
so, it wasnt the lack of information, rather the information you chose to give that made me think that.
Yes, a boy screaming in terror as a massive fire rages behind him really says 'time to celebrate'.
concept is ok, but the images don't look at all what they should.

I think he may be able to do a bit better with Jones but Jones is only better and more experienced now too. Jones will likely end up beating (even finishing?) Machida again. Does that hurt his chances at MW if he drops?

Parent Comments — 25 Comments
I have noticed my daughter is more confident when reading. She is taking her time and sounding the words out. Ms. Bonnie is very patient with her, and my daughter absolutely loves Ms. Bonnie.
~ Elbert J.
My child answered question #7 "My child has a positive experience at the Children's Dyslexia Center." She said it is so repetitive and nothing changes week to week. I explained the structure of the program, but mixing it up is something that keeps her "in-tune" & I guess that is why she finds it boring.
I have heard time and again that she feels nothing has improved. It is difficult for her to feel a difference; HOWEVER, I see a tremendous difference. I see progress in decoding unknown words and encoding using the new "rules" she has learned. I may stop her as she is struggling with writing a tricky word and offer a clue – vowel team, single syllable/short vowel, blend, etc. and she is able to accurately encode the word then.
We benefit immensely from the daily concept sheets as I incorporate those into our homeschool lesson plans.
~ Nikki F.
Without the center I'm not sure where we would be educationally with my child. She has benefited from the 1:1 environment and has achieved grade level status. The center has been a God send to us and her tutor Denise is amazing. The staff is so personal, helpful and professional. Thank you for helping us "Retrain the Brain".
~ Gigi G.
We have only been here a week, but my daughter has been very excited to get here for tutoring. Everyone has been very nice and welcoming!
~ Jennifer D.
I have been impressed with the center from the start. Everything has been very positive. My son has been blessed with a great tutor, and I have learned so much in the last year. It has been invaluable. The staff is fantastic, friendly, helpful and inspiring. I just hope I can be up to the change to deliver instruction at this center's level. Thanks for everything. Love you guys!
~ Christine B.
We have seen our son's reading vastly improve. Based on school testing, our son is almost reading at grade level. We are so happy. We have also noticed a confidence in him not experienced previously. We couldn't be more happy and proud of his achievements. The center is teaching a life skill that is so important. We appreciate everything the center has done.
~ Rick W.
Thank you for helping my daughter. We appreciate all that the center does.
~ Polly G.
I have strongly enjoyed my son attending – myself and teachers have seen the "Leaps and Bounds" he has made. He has become a stronger reader and is able to comprehend all that he has read. The staff is awesome and is always there to help in any way they can. This is a great resource for families, and I am highly grateful they were there.
~ Ronda B.
My son has made tremendous progress since starting at the Dyslexia Center. His reading has greatly improved. I can't say enough "thank you's" for the help the center has given my son, especially his tutor, Denise. I will always be grateful to the Dyslexia Center.
~ Anonymous
I am very grateful that my son has had the opportunity to come to this center where we are always welcomed by wonderful staff members. The fundraisers are a great way to get involved and a way to give another child a chance to get tutored. I wish we lived closer so we could enjoy them as well, but will try to attend when we can. Thank you again for all you do to help others. It is greatly appreciated!
~ Telisa N.
My son's experience has been excellent! He enjoys going to the center. I have seen his confidence grow. Thank you!
~ Angie C.
Since attending the center by grandson has improved in Reading and Language Arts. His classroom teacher says that she has seen his confidence level increase. He is more willing to answer questions.
The quality of the tutoring services is excellent due to the leadership and organizational skills of the director.
~ Anonymous
I have been pleased with the quality of services that our family has received from the Scottish Rite Dyslexia Center. My son has enjoyed working with his tutor this year and has gained confidence in reading at school. Although he has a long road ahead of him, the center has made the learning process fun. He enjoys the lessons and doesn't feel as if he's being given "extra homework" or being punished for his academic struggles. He recently joined the Lector Club at school and read a short passage at a church mass at school in front of his peers. This would seem like an unremarkable task to most families but was a positively emotionally charged experience for both he and I. I was both proud and amazed that he had gained enough confidence to read aloud in front of a crowd despite his dyslexia. He still has "good and bad days" but I feel fortunate that he has been admitted to this program and I am looking forward to seeing how he progresses over the next year.
In addition to the quality tutoring, the staff has been extremely kind, professional and respectful of our family's privacy. The parents I have met during my son's tutoring sessions have provided valuable insight, as well as tools and helpful hints to navigate through homework, testing, and kids' self-esteem issues. These parents have also served an unofficial support group making me feel like we are not alone in the struggle with dyslexia. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with our experience at the center. Thank you to the staff, donors, and volunteers for providing these students with this opportunity.
~ Danielle C.
We have had a wonderful experience at the Children's Dyslexia Center. Everyone is friendly and works very hard to make sure the children are successful. My son has greatly benefited from the one on one tutoring services provided. We just had his annual review for his IEP and his teachers are excited about his progress. My son also shares the "tricks" he has learned with his peers and teachers. He is excited that he can help others become better readers, too!
Thank You!
~ Anonymous
I cannot express enough how excited we are about the progress our son has made since he began attending the center. His progress has been remarkable. You guys really have made a huge impact in our lives. Homework has gotten easier and our son is really excited about reading! His grades have improved and his confidence level is through the roof!

The Evil Within 2 review-in-progress
returns postage for faulty goods
hi all,purchased a item from a trader on ebay.only recieved it on friday it is a twin cordless door chime,yesterday one of the recievers stopped working even when i plug it into a socket next to front door,it has a range of 50mtrs.i emaled them this morning but have not yet got a response so just emailed again.under his returns it says for faulty goods buyer to pay return postage.i thought under distant selling regs the seller has to refund the postage costs for faulty goods or am i wrong.anyone shed any light on this.thanks.
click here
stuartli just been looking through your links and as i thought seller is liable for return postage on faulty goods.i have recieved a e-mail from him this morning asking me to return the item.thanks.
Pleased to help. No reason why a customer should have to meet the cost of returning faulty goods.
In fact decent on-line retailers or any other business will provide an RMA in such cases and reimburse any costs incurred in sending back faulty goods.
Surely you checked his terms before buying.
If someone has that stated I don't buy from them. Just not worth the hassle
If you are looking for a wireless door chime system, and you have a Wilkinsons store in your area, try there. I have recently purchased a very good bit of kit (one transmitter, two mobile receivers)for around £10.00.
Well, it so happens that I'm in a similar situation (having purchased something else though).
PDF of Stuartli's link click here, so one can easily copy/paste sections if necessary (thanks for the original link Stuartli). Stuartli, you of course correct if it is a standard retailer.
I've just been in direct phone contact with PayPal (PP), & they informed me that eBay/PP follows different rules compared to UK DSRs regarding this kind of situation. Unfortunately, the cost of returning a faulty item rests with the buyer.
gibfish26, if you were able to somehow argue the case in your favour, then good for you :-). It looks like my seller isn't budging, & I'll have to spend £10-15 to return the faulty item :-(. G
The second link was for the e-Bay Ts and Cs.
Still doesn't prevent anyone being annoyed at having to pay for the return of faulty goods - that should be the responsibility of the supplier and rightly so.
"Unfortunately, the cost of returning a faulty item rests with the buyer". It doesn't matter what eBay/PP say. If the auction item is sold in the UK by a business/trade seller, then the DSR applies.
In the case of a faulty item, then the seller/retailer would be responsible for 'all costs', which may well include full purchase price including postage and handling charges, plus return postage or collection/delivery charges.
Like most things, the final outcome would be proving the item was faulty, and whether the hassle of getting the item refunded or replaced a worthwhile venture.
I have two cases on at present with eBay, and all I can say is that 'confusion begets confusion'.
spuds, you may be right.
However, just going through eBay's official policies (Stuartli's link is a user review) regarding this, & the seller can specify their own return policy. Relevant info in these 2 links:
Return an item - click here
Know Your Rights - click here
From the 1st link:
"Return P&P costs
Sellers specify return postage information such as who's paying for return shipping and their return shipping address in their return policy. You should read their return policy carefully, before returning an item.
In general, the seller is obliged to pay for the return shipping unless they have specifically provided, within their returns policy, that they require the buyer to pay for it. Learn more about return postage costs and your legal rights and obligation."
My business seller's terms state the following: "Return postage is to be paid by the buyer", so looks like I'm stuffed.
"Like most things, the final outcome would be proving the item was faulty, and whether the hassle of getting the item refunded or replaced a worthwhile venture." - you make a good point there. I could possibly 'repair' the fault by spending £20-25 - i.e. a little more than it would take to return the item. G

BSS partners with Amazon.com to provide you with some of the
best-selling and newest business books on the market. Enjoy!
The classic guide to creative ideas, strategies, and campaigns in advertising, now in a revised and updated third edition.
In creative advertising, no amount of glossy presentation will improve a bad idea. That's why this book is dedicated to the first and most important lesson: concept.
Structured to provide both a complete course on advertising and a quick reference on specific industry topics, it covers every aspect of the business, from how to write copy and learn the creative process to how agencies work and the different strategies used for all types of media. This edition has been updated to include expanded chapters on interactive advertising and integrative advertising, a new chapter on branded social media, and fifty specially drawn new roughs of key campaigns.
Pete Barry outlines simple but fundamental rules about how to "push" an ad to turn it into something exceptional, while exercises throughout help readers assess their own work and that of others. Fifty years' worth of international, award-winning ad campaigns-in the form of over 450 "roughs" specially produced by the author, fifty of which are new to this edition-also reinforce the book's core lesson: that a great idea will last forever.

A recovering Mad Man throws down the ultimate challenge to his profession: Innovate or die. The ad apocalypse is upon us. Today millions are downloading ad-blocking software, and still more are paying subscription premiums to avoid ads. This $600 billion industry is now careening toward outright extinction, after having taken for granted a captive audience for too long, leading to lazy, overabundant, and frankly annoying ads. Make no mistake, Madison Avenue: Traditional advertising, as we know it, is over. In this short, controversial manifesto, Andrew Essex offers both a wake-up call and a road map to the future.
In The End of Advertising, Essex gives a brief and pungent history of the rise and fall of Adland—a story populated by snake-oil salesmen, slicksters, and search-engine optimizers. But his book is no eulogy. Instead, he boldly challenges global marketers to innovate their way to a better ad-free future. With trenchant wit and razor-sharp insights, he presents an essential new vision of where the smart businesses could be headed—a broad playing field where ambitious marketing campaigns provide utility, services, gifts, patronage of the arts, and even blockbuster entertainment. In this utopian landscape, ads could become so enticing that people would pay—yes, pay—to see them.
Public Relations is the persuasion business. Anyone who wants to learn how to communicate their message and influence the media, clients, employees, their peers or anyone else will benefit from this book.
Shattering conventional wisdom, Straight Talk dispenses with easy answers, tired cliches, and the myths of social media. With five billion pieces of content posted each day on Facebook alone, it's difficult to make an impact. There are no easy solutions (in spite of what many authors say, most advertising and social media marketing doesn't work). Persuading people to buy products or services or support causes is difficult. But there are tactics that work – and you'll find them in this book.
Learn the essentials of public relations – how to find and engage your audience, successfully pitch the media, write an editorial that wows, create a persuasive social media campaign, create powerful content marketing, and measure PR success – in this witty, no-holds-barred introduction to the art of public relations.
Esquire. Ford Motors. Burton Snowboards. The Obama Administration. While all of these brands are vastly different, they share at least one thing in common: a teeny, little bit of Aaron James Draplin. Draplin is one of the new school of influential graphic designers who combine the power of design, social media, entrepreneurship, and DIY aesthetic to create a successful business and way of life.
Pretty Much Everything is a mid-career survey of work, case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, maps, how-tos, and advice. It includes examples of his work—posters, record covers, logos—and presents the process behind his design with projects like Field Notes and the "Things We Love" State Posters. Draplin also offers valuable advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much more goes into design than just what appears on the page. With Draplin's humor and pointed observations on the contemporary design scene, Draplin Design Co. is the complete package for the new generation of designers.
Updated to reflect the latest technological innovations—and challenges—the second edition of Social Media: How to Engage, Share, and Connect will help readers understand and successfully use today's social media tools. Luttrell's text offers:
This book will become your go-to reference guide for all things social media-related as it applies to public relations and the everyday duties of PR professionals.
A revolutionary marketing strategy proven to drive sales and growth.
They Ask You Answer is a straightforward guide to fixing your current marketing strategy. Regardless of your budget, you are almost certainly overspending on television, radio, and print ads, yet neglecting the number-one resource you have at your disposal: the Internet. Content marketing is no longer about keyword-stuffing and link-building; in fact, using those tactics today gets your page shuffled to the bottom of the heap. Quality content is the key to success, and you already have the ingredients in-house. This book shows you how to structure an effective content strategy using the same proven principles that have revolutionized marketing for all types of businesses, across industries.
Author Marcus Sheridan's pool company struggled after the housing collapse; today, they're one of the largest pool installers in the U.S., turning away millions of dollars in business they simply cannot accommodate every year. How did he manage it? He answered questions. This book shows you how Marcus's strategy can work for your business, and how to use your keyboard to bring customers through the door.

EVERETT — A bank robber fidgeted in her shackles as she apologized to her 13-year-old daughter seated in the courtroom Tuesday.
Navey Skinner said she never wanted the girl to hear that her mother had a criminal history. She certainly doesn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps, Skinner said. She praised her mother and stepfather for taking good care of the girl.
Skinner, 35, also apologized to the bank teller whom she threatened and robbed in December.
A judge on Tuesday sentenced Skinner to 3 ½ years in prison.
Superior Court Judge Bruce Weiss said he is sympathetic to Skinner's struggles with drug addiction and her history of mental illness, but he couldn't ignore Skinner's actions inside the Arlington Chase Bank last winter.
Skinner, on a methamphetamine binge, handed the teller a note, demanding she put money in a bag or die.
The victim took the robber's death threat seriously and "no doubt the incident impacted the bank teller's life forever," Weiss said.
Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Ed Stemler recommended the 3 ½-year sentence — a mid-range prison term under state guidelines.
Stemler pointed out that while Skinner had only one prior adult felony conviction, she'd racked up nearly 20 misdemeanor convictions. He also noted that she already been given a break. She was accused of stealing her daughter's Christmas presents about a week before the bank robbery. Stemler agreed not to charge her with the theft in exchange for her guilty plea to the robbery.
Whitney Rivera, an attorney with the county's Public Defenders Association, encouraged the judge to cut six months from the prosecutor's recommendation. She noted that Skinner had been caught up in a downward spiral of addiction, mental illness crises and homelessness.
Those factors "deeply impacted her ability to exercise appropriate judgment, behavior and conduct in the community," Rivera wrote in court papers.
Skinner had gotten clean when her daughter was born and lived a productive life, the attorney noted. Unfortunately, she'd relapsed in 2005. Skinner admitted that she robbed the bank to feed her addiction.
Weiss ordered Skinner to undergo drug and mental health evaluations and follow through with any treatment plans that may be recommended. She also was ordered to pay back the $950 she stole from the bank.

text: European Christmas Markets It used to be that Christmas would not long have passed and I would find myself already exhausted by the mere thought of its return. Each year I would make a promise to whisk myself away to some far flung destination to flee the crowds of shoppers. I adore the festive countdown and the family get- togethers that accompany the season and so I would not have wanted to miss the day altogether, but what was the solution? The answer presented itself when I was given the opportunity to experience the delights of the European Christmas markets. A visit to the assortment of rustic temporary cabins enabled me to "kill two birds with one stone" as it were, by combining a well-earned break with shopping for seasonal gifts for my loved ones. I have now fallen under the spell of Christmas markets with their candlelit stalls that offer aromatic sweets in every colour imaginable, traditional carved toys and intriguing curios. Nothing enlivens the spirit of Christmas more than the aroma of roasting chestnuts and the sounds of busking choirs singing in harmony as you wind your way over the cobbled streets of Prague or Vienna. In my experience, to truly imbibe the spirit of the season, one must indulge in an authentic European Christmas market overseas. During winter, the festive markets are of course ubiquitous in the UK, yet the locations that boast the most exquisite markets are undoubtedly the ones that successfully combine sensational architecture with a resounding sense of history. Vienna, Prague and Budapest play host to some of the finest European Christmas markets and in my opinion, as yuletide breaks become ever popular, it is important to book through a reputable company. You will find superlative Christmas holidays and unforgettable European Christmas markets on the Mighty Fine Company's website. Share: 24.

Benjamin Waterhouse to Thomas Jefferson, 18 June 1816
From Benjamin Waterhouse
Cambridge, 18th June, 1816
Finding that Mesrs. Rowe & Hooper are about sending you a copy of "a Journal of a young man of Massachusetts," who was captured by the British, and confined during the war, at Halifax, at Chatham, and at Dartmoor, I cannot refrain, because I think it is proper, giving you more information relative to its publication than what appears on the face of the book—
This smart young man put his manuscript Journal into my hands, when I questioned him on each and every part of it, and felt satisfied of its authenticity. At his request, and at the request of the printers, I undertook to prepare this narrative for the eye of the American and British1 public. The raw material is here worked up into one uniform warp, woof and coloring; making, I hope, no bad specimen of American manufacture. Or to change the figure, the young surgeon brought me all the stones and the bricks, while I designed, and built up the structure, finding the mortar or connecting material. Alexander Selkirk, who resided several years on a desert Island, put his manuscript into the hands of the famous Danl De Foe, who out of it made the renowned history of Robinson Crusoe:This book may in some measure resemble it, provided De Foe never suppressed, or added any important facts. I believe every representation in this little book to be true; but the painter, aiming to make an agreeable picture, has used a free and rapid brush, which, now and then betrays marks of an incorrect manner, without ever once violating the truth of the story.
This production was the amusement of my lonesome evenings the past winter; and was sent to the press without ever reviewing a paragraph or line of it.
Sentiments of respect, and ideas of propriety forbad me to allow the book to be presented to you, without this explanation; although the public have no idea of the painter.
Benjn Waterhouse
RC (DLC); in an unidentified hand, signed by Waterhouse; at foot of text in Waterhouse's hand: "Honorable Thos Jefferson"; endorsed by TJ as received 10 July 1816 and so recorded in SJL.
The book being sent to TJ by the Boston publishing firm of rowe & hooper was Waterhouse, ed., A Journal, of a Young Man of Massachusetts, late a surgeon on board an American privateer, who was captured at sea by the British, in May, Eighteen Hundred and Thirteen, and was confined first, at Melville Island, Halifax, then at Chatham, in England, and Last, at Dartmoor Prison. Interspersed with Observations, Anecdotes and Remarks, Tending to Illustrate the Moral and Political Characters of Three Nations. To which is added, A Correct Engraving of Dartmoor Prison, representing the massacre of American prisoners. Written by Himself (Boston, 1816). The smart young man who wrote this journal was probably Amos G. Babcock, surgeon of the privateer schooner Enterprise at the time of its capture by British warships in May 1813 (Henry R. Viets, "'A Journal of a Young Man of Massachusetts … written by Himself.' Boston: 1816, and a Note on the Author," Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine 12 [1980]: 605–22, esp. 608–9).
Waterhouse apparently reconsidered his decision against reviewing a paragraph or line of the Journal, because a second edition he published in Boston later in 1816 contained "considerable Additions and Improvements."

An ever increasing number of active adults are looking for homes and communities where they can settle in yet still lead the full lives that are important to them. Fortunately, for those looking for 55 and over communities in DFW, Ladera offers quality, lifestyle-rich, affordable homes in a vibrant community that still leaves plenty of options to simply lock and leave when heading out for new experiences. Ladera features a variety of floor plans that provide just the right amount of space without scrimping on the finer features. One of these floor plans is the Verona.
The Verona is an ideal design, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two-car garage and 2107 square feet. This spacious, yet manageable home keeps everything on the ground floor for easy access. The guest bedroom is great for visiting children, grandchildren, or friends! There is a large owner's suite with a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, two-sink bathroom vanity, a large glass and tile shower with a seating bench, and plenty of storage in cabinets and the large walk-in-closet.
For those who are still working or prefer to keep a home office, the Verona features a den right off the entrance, which provides it with the quiet and privacy many people want in such a space. Turning in the other direction from the entrance, you move into the open-plan living area, with a cathedral ceiling, and ornate arched beams for a real sense of space and style. Starting in the exceptional kitchen with island seating, you'll move on to a dedicated dining room area, all leading to the large living room with a fireplace for those chillier evenings when you want to cuddle up. The whole space flows easily, making it perfect for entertaining, especially with the covered porch and optional extended porch off the living room.
In addition to all of these features, there is a covered porch over the front entrance that you can enjoy on your own or use to welcome guests. There is also a mud room accessible from the garage for when you've been taking advantage of all sorts of activities that residents of 55 and over communities in DFW like to enjoy. The mud room leads directly to the laundry room and the laundry room leads directly to the walk-in-closet of the owner's suite, for added convenience.
Home designs like the Verona are perfect when you're ready to downsize but don't want to feel like you've downsized. We like to call it "Right Sizing!" The spacious design and wealth of storage options won't leave you feeling squeezed. Best of all, you get the space you need without the extra maintenance that would cut into your active new life in a fun, welcoming community.

Becoming a professional film actor is a very difficult process. Improvisation allows movie actors true expressive freedom, since they themseleves don't know how the situation is going to turn out. In professional acting, improv is also used to cover up momentary lapses, so the audience isn't startled. The actor?s performance is mediated by particular performance signs including facial expression, emotion, and vocabulary.
Classical acting is an umbrella term for a philosophy of acting that integrates the expression of the body, voice, imagination, improvisation and script analysis. Method acting by comparison, is a range of techniques based on for training movie actors to achieve better characterizations of the characters they play. Part of the training includes actors memorizing lines and therefore being able to work without a movie script. Other acting classes may include mask work, improvisation, and showing emotion for the camera. Beyond consideration for McMaster University film production, you may think about Belmont College testing services for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

We've collected all the right parts so you can assemble the guts of your very own DIY GameGRRL – a portable Raspberry Pi running MAME and NES emulators.
Coming Soon: PiGRRL Pack 2.0 – Build your own Pi Game Emulator! – CASE NOT INCLUDED
This is version 2.0! We've updated this project for the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B with more buttons (D-Pad, A,B,X,Y,L,R, pause and start), and four extra buttons on the PiTFT.
This portable handheld game emulation station is called the PiGRRL and it's powered by a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and a PiTFT display. You'll have to do all the 3D printing, assembly, and installation yourself to get gaming, but our learn guide will help you get through the process.
This PiGRRL pack has just about everything you need to make this project EXCEPT the case, wires and hardware, and hand tools for soldering, cutting, etc. You will need to 3D print your own case – but check out our 3D printing guide for the pack so you or your friend can 3D print an enclosure.
With this update, we really wanted to make it easier to build. We've dramatically cut the build time in half by making a custom gamepad PCB. Just solder in the buttons and an IDC box header to the gamepad PCB – No more tedious button wiring! We also sell just the PCB on it's own.
You will also need to solder together the parts so many hand tools and other small parts such as silicone wires, screws or blue tack are required. Please read through the tutorial so you can see what else is needed to complete this project!
Please note this is a medium-difficulty project that uses many Maker skills such as soldering, 3D printing and installing Linux! The PiGRRL2 is a fun build but it is a DIY project, it will not have perfect audio/video/emulation capabilities.
Coming Soon! Sign up to get notified when the first shipment comes in!
NEW PRODUCT – PiGRRL 2.0 Custom Gamepad PCB for the PiGRRL 2 pack!

Gone are the days of the mysterious, untouchable rock stars from the 70s and 80s. In today's music world, you can meet almost anyone you want, no matter how big they may be. That is, if you're willing to pay the often extortionate prices attached to "meet and greet experience" packages.
It's a strange concept when you really think about it – potentially paying hundreds of pounds to simply meet another human being and interact them for a short period of time. After all, we consistently do this on a daily basis in university, in work, in the pub. Yet this doesn't seem to deter a huge amount of touring bands/artists offering some variation of a meet-and-greet or backstage 'experience' to their fans, often advertised as an 'upgrade' on a general admission ticket. These 'experiences' range everywhere from simply standing next to the artist for a photo against a backdrop to watching the band's live set from side stage.
Let's not forget these incredibly awkward fan photos from an Avril Lavigne meet and greet…
As a music fan, I first realised the trend of VIP upgrades developing in the world of pop-punk. One of the most notable recent examples is Pierce the Veil, who recently came under heavy criticism for charging fans £60 to meet them before the show. This package didn't include a general admission ticket, making the entire experience a total of £82. Considering that the average demographic for pop punk bands such as Pierce the Veil is in the 13 to 18-year-old age bracket, can it really be considered ethical for bands to charge their fans so much money for a one-off meet-and-greet, or are they simply exploiting them?
Obviously, opinions are divided. There are those who wholeheartedly believe that the very principle of paid meet-and-greets are signs of the selfish, Hollywood ego infecting the world of music. On the other hand, some view meet-and-greets as an invaluable opportunity to get one-to-one, unique experiences with your favourite artists. Personally, I lie somewhere in the middle. I think it goes without saying that charging fans extortionate prices for a photo and a simple 'hello' is completely ludicrous. Before he stopped doing them all together, a selfie with Justin Bieber on his Purpose tour would've costed you $2,000. Alternatively, you could pay $925 for a group(!) photo with the singer. If Biebs isn't your thing, you can enjoy a meet-and-greet / cocktail reception with Madonna for the small price of $125,000.
For the smaller artists who don't benefit from the same level of exposure, success and records sales as Bieber and Madge, it's an entirely different issue. As we all know, the music world has changed. The dawn of the digital ages means we've stopped buying records now and the impact of streaming on artists has been widely reported, investigated, criticised and praised. On the plus side, we're discovering and listening to more artists than ever now that we have the world's music library so readily available at our fingertips. The reality of this, however, is artists aren't making much from album sales. For many of them, this means they have to rely heavily on the success of their tours and their merchandise sales – areas where the profit is more likely to go into their pocket. In this case, if meet-and-greet upgrades can simply be viewed as another revenue stream that allows the band to continue their musical career, is it really so wrong?
All Time Low have one of the more interesting models when it comes to meet and greets and I believe it is something that should be more commonly replicated by other artists. Fans can pay an annual subscription of roughly £25 to join the band's fan club and in return they receive exclusive merch, access to an active online community of other fans and exclusive opportunities for meet and greets with the band, as well as other special events like Q&As with the band, acoustic sessions and opportunities to appear in their music videos. As All Time Low's fan base fall into the young tween/teen age group, it's likely to be their parents paying for the membership fees and gig tickets anyway, meaning a fan club model like this is probably going to be a lot more popular and value for money. All Time Low are considered to be one of the most fan-friendly bands in the business and this can largely be credited to the huge amount of one-to-one interactions and experiences they have with their fans every day, often facilitated by their fan club meet and greets. Obviously, for them and for their fans, it's working.
Taylor Swift often hangs out with her fans ahead of shows.
That being said, paid meet and greets aren't the only way to meet artists and there are some who offer plenty of opportunities for fans to meet them without spending a penny. If you're in the right time at the right place, you can often catch Rihanna by her tour bus before a gig, where fans can chat and take photos with her for free. Taylor Swift often goes out of her way to provide exciting and innovative ways to hang out with her fans without offering paid meet and greets. For example, she used Tumblr as a means of singling out some of her biggest fans and invited them to her house for an exclusive album-listening party. On a smaller level, rock bands like The Maine that have large, dedicated fan followings often scrap the idea of paid 'experiences' entirely and can often be found meeting and greeting every member of the audience after they've played a show.
All in all, it's clear that there are fundamental issues with the principle of a paid meet and greet. Paying money just to meet someone really is quite bizarre when you think about it and the sad reality is some artists are using young fans' desires to meet their idols as a means of exploitation. The fan club model is arguably a more rewarding and fair way for artists to engage with their most dedicated fans, or maybe scrapping paid VIP upgrade all together and meeting fans after shows instead is the way to go. But at the end of the day, meet and greets can allow young people to share unique moments and create unforgettable memories with their most favourite band, so should anyone really stand in the way of that?

Canada Law
Ask a Canada Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Are you saying you do owe the money?
I don't see your province here. Can you please provide it before I answer?Thanks
In Ontario you can buy yourself a bit more time in terms of putting in your statement of defence.
You can prepare and serve a Notice of Intent to Defend and that gives you another 10 days.
So you have close to a month to sell the house.
If that doesn't work you can either ask the lawyer for the bank to give you a bit more time to put in a statement of defence or otherwise try to negotiate with the bank.
If none of that works you can also put in a statement of defence which will then buy you some more time but if the legal costs of the bank go up they will want more to settle.
Does that help as a starting point?

text: Andy Whitman Report post Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) San Francisco power popsters The Orange Peels return with a new album early in 2010 called 2020. I predict the release of 2030 in 2020. The Orange Peels are basically Allen Clapp and whoever he can gather around him, so if you've heard any of the previous Orange Peels albums (my money's on the fact that you haven't), then the new one won't startle you with its innovations. It's supremely tuneful, minimally powerful (I'd give it a 3 on the 1-10 power pop power scale; the electric guitars don't exactly pack a wallop), and occasionally annoyingly sung by a guy who, God bless him, sometimes exhibits the adenoidal whine of Eric Carmen and The Raspberries. But Clapp really does write some engaging, hook-filled melodies, and many of these songs could have been mid-'70s AM radio hits. Sadly, he's arrived 35-40 years after Bread and America. He coulda been a contendah, and earned a guest spot on The Captain and Tennille Variety Hour. Edited November 13, 2009 by Andy Whitman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I posted a query on this middle eastern off track betting parlor last week.
The middle aged gents are NOT there for the food, unless they love dry schwarma served on a stale roll without any tahini sauce.
I guess they are alowed to smoke, play dominos, poker, video slots, and engage in loud arguements there, because they never have to worry about any paying customers (except yours truly) interrupting the party to order food.
God awful.
I mean really really bad.
Did I mention that the schwarma tasted like sour plaster?

This facility was average in my opinion. The inside resembled exactly what you picture when you think of a nursing home. The call lights are constantly buzzing and the phones constantly ringing. The nursing staff is actually present and working rapidly; though I wish their attire were a little more uniform and professional looking. When each assistant and nurse is able to wear whatever they want to work it makes it difficult to tell who is your loved ones nurse and who is their assistant. The kitchen in this home is also lacking. The food resembles the stereo typical hospital food that many would like to avoid (think mystery meat with gravy for lunch with lime jello for dessert). In conclusion, if the level of nursing care is what matters most to you then Muncie Health does an adequate job. If decor and environment is what matters then there are certainly other facilities that are a little more upbeat and pleasant.

Rupert was here first thing this morning to see how things are getting on. When he stays in the Malvedos house, which is often during the harvest, we expect to see him regularly and suppose that it is part of his morning routine to look in on us and say goodmorning.
Today Rupert was with Bruno Prats, our partner in the Chryseia Douro DOC wine project. Before they set off by boat to look at Quinta de Roriz, we tasted the Barroca that was just finished and is now in one of the large oak tonels in the lower part of the winery.
At this early stage the wine has an opaque purple colour, intense jammy aromas and the characteristic structure and powerful long finish of Barroca.

POLICE officers and firefighters have highlighted some benefits as a result of reforms to their services, but they also expressed concerns over "diminishing resources" and low morale, according to a new report.
They gave their views as part of the latest evaluation of Scotland's single police and fire services, set up in 2013 to protect and improve local services despite financial cuts, create more equal access to specialist units, and strengthen connections with communities.
The evaluation was undertaken by the Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR), ScotCen Social Research and What Works Scotland.
Loading article content
Their report stated: "From the perspective of local police officers and firefighters, there were positive achievements in relation to improvements in accessing national capacity and specialist expertise.
"There were also strong commitments to partnership working.
"But the perceptions of those involved in the routine delivery of local services was that they are operating with diminishing resources, that work to strengthen connections with communities was often hampered by other organisational pressures, and the reductions in the budgets of other public services sometimes frustrated attempts to work more collaboratively."
Among police officers, the report uncovered concerns over the visible presence of local officers in communities and "a perception that local resources ... are increasingly stretched over larger geographical areas" as a result of redeployment of some officers to specialist roles and a reduction in civilian staff.
In the fire service, the report found evidence of a perception that the level of local service had been maintained since reform.
However, it noted firefighters had reported feeling stretched as a result of a drop in admin staff and had concerns regarding the centralisation of support services, poor IT and their ability to access some equipment.
Evidence of low morale among frontline staff in both services was also noted, with firefighters in some areas starting to leave after only a few years in the job, citing issues such as increased stress.
Both the police and fire service welcomed the report's recognition of their achievements so far and acknowledged improvements can still be made.
Deputy Chief Constable Iain Livingstone said: "Police Scotland has continued to evolve and, as the report recognises, has already begun to address the issues raised in this report through the long-term strategy, Policing 2026.
"We remain committed to listening and working with all communities to improve the delivery of local policing across Scotland."
A spokeswoman for the police oversight body, the Scottish Police Authority, said: "While the report looks back at earlier experiences of reform, it identifies learning points that remain relevant and valid today and which have been acknowledged, and are being addressed, by the SPA and Police Scotland.
"We are alive to the need to address any perception that local, frontline policing has diminished."
Diane Vincent, of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), said: "We are now looking at how the SFRS needs to develop to meet the new and emerging risks facing Scotland and we will work with our people to ensure they have a voice and help to directly shape a shared vision for a service of the future."
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said while both services are already taking action on many of the areas of improvement, "they will reflect further to ensure they remain well-placed to keep Scotland safe from crime, accidents and other harm".

Legal Bills
Scandals and Inquiries Mean More Fees
Thursday, April 26, 2007
It's springtime in Washington and some of the biggest things blooming are politicians' legal bills.
The large number of political figures, including current and former members of Congress, who are embroiled in criminal, ethics and civil cases helped rack up more than $2 million in legal bills in the first three months of the year, an unusually large amount for the first quarter of a non-election year.
The Republican National Committee ran up one of the biggest tabs, reporting it paid $500,000 last month alone to the D.C. blue chip firm of Covington & Burling. Officially, the GOP offered no explanation.
"As a matter of policy, the RNC does not comment on legal fees," spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said.
Unofficially, GOP officials said they continue to pay bills stemming from the civil case involving a scheme in which Republican operatives in New Hampshire were convicted of conspiring to jam phone lines during the 2002 election in hopes of keeping Democrats from voting.
Sen. Mel Martinez (Fla.), the RNC chairman, had his own legal problems spill into public as the Federal Election Commission cited his 2004 Senate campaign for nearly $800,000 in problematic contributions. He has yet to be penalized, but Martinez reported paying his lawyers a little more than $4,800 from his campaign so far this year and has $5,149 in unpaid bills.
Some of the senior House Republicans who were witnesses during the various inquiries into former Florida representative Mark Foley's inappropriate contact with young House pages also reported hefty legal bills.
Former House speaker J. Dennis Hastert, who still represents an Illinois district though he is no longer in leadership, reported paying his lawyers nearly $70,000, and carrying over $20,000 in unpaid bills. Foley, who resigned from Congress last year, reported more than $200,000 in legal fees.
House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) reported $52,533 in legal bills, mostly stemming from his long-running lawsuit against Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) over the 1996 release of an illegally recorded Republican telephone call.
Democrats had their own share of bills. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee reported $50,466 in legal fees during the first quarter. Spokesman Matt Miller said that was the normal quarterly retainer the party committee pays its law firm to help it stay in compliance on election laws.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) reported paying lawyers a little more than $75,000 during the first three months. His office said it did not immediately know what the fees were for.
Past and current lawmakers involved in the various corruption investigations involving disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff or House appropriations also reported hefty legal bills.
Former senator Conrad Burns (R-Mont.), whose ties to Abramoff-related figures and contributions helped cost him reelection last fall, reported paying $120,000 out of his leftover campaign funds to lawyers. Another Republican felled by controversy in last November's election, former representative Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania, reported $132,025 in legal bills. The FBI has been investigating lucrative lobbying and consulting contracts Weldon's daughter received while he was in office.
Rep. John T. Doolittle (R-Calif.), whose Virginia home was raided last week by FBI agents investigating fundraising by Doolittle's wife as an outgrowth of the Abramoff case, reported $13,516 in legal bills in the first quarter. Doolittle said he is going to seek House ethics committee permission to start a legal defense fund to defray his bills. Such funds can collect up to $5,000 per person per year, more than double the $2,300 maximum donations his campaigns can collect.
The early start to the 2008 presidential race also provided a boon for lawyers. The candidates spent at least $350,000 on lawyers in the first quarter, and $340,000 on legal "compliance consultants" as they tried to keep from running afoul of campaign finance laws during the early rush to collect contributions.
