IT'S POSSIBLE TO MAKE a lot of money so quickly that you don't realise the import and scale of what you've accomplished. Because of this it's possible to lose it quickly, too. That's embarrassing. It's embarrassing enough to make it difficult to admit what's happened, even to yourself.
Winter is Coming – seek a wide moat!
WARREN BUFFETT describes value based investing in a zen-like koan: "Find a wonderful business and buy it at an attractive price." This deceptively simple doctrine begs the question of what makes a business wonderful. One of the hallmarks of a wonderful business is that it has a sustainable competitive advantage – a moat.
The Zen of Warren – The Tao of the Dow
WARREN BUFFETT SAYS, "In the short-term, the market is a popularity contest; in the long-term, it is a weighing machine." A possible way to interpret this is that no one can predict with meaningful accuracy what any publicly traded company's stock price will be tomorrow but almost anyone can learn to correctly anticipate, most of the time, what the likelihood of success for an established business that they understand will be over time.

Saint Clement, the third pope to rule the Roman Church after Saint Peter, reigned toward the end of the first century. He wrote the famous epistle to the Corinthians to strengthen and encourage peace and unity among them.
Christian Prayer : The Liturgy of the Hours; Daughters of St. Paul * St. Paul Editions * 1976
All-powerful and ever-living God,
we praise your power and glory
revealed to us in the lives of all your saints.
give us joy on this feast of Saint Clement,
the priest and martyr
who bore witness with his blood to the love he proclaimed
and the gospel he preached.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Sunday Gospel - November 25, 2007 (Feast of Christ the King)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 23,35-43.
The people stood by and watched; the rulers, meanwhile, sneered at him and said, "He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of God."
Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine
they called out, "If you are King of the Jews, save yourself."
Above him there was an inscription that read, "This is the King of the Jews."
Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us."
The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, "Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation?
And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal."
Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
He replied to him, "Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."
The Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church
This is the only Church Jesus founded on earth upon the 'rock'; Peter. All other churches are man made by misinterpreting the Bible. This is the Church who made the Bible! Acceptance of Peter's primacy, the clear teaching of the Bible, is the only way to avoid confusions and contradictions in Christianity. This is the only Church with true apostolic succession, which has its members allover the world; the surest way of your salvation! Let us go to the Church, Jesus founded; where he truly lives in the Holy Eucharist!

Soaker Hose or Drip Line - What's Best?
Posted by Sean on
We get asked this question quite often, and it already features in our Frequently Asked Questions page, but we thought we'd dive in deeper to give you a much better look at the differences between soaker hose and drip line. So, what's best?
Why would I use either? For those not in the know, both soaker hose and drip line can save time and money when installing a new automatic watering system, and can help you stop wasting water. Both seep water directly into the soil, putting water exactly where it's needed - the root zone of plants. Precise watering is ideal for a plants health and great for the environment. Installation is quick and easy - all you need to do is lay the pipe through planted areas (flower beds, borders, hedgerows, etc.), cap off the end, connect to a garden tap and you're set to go.
Each performs roughly the same job but do so in very different ways. Both types have their advantages, so picking one over another as the best choice isn't straightforward for the uninitiated. In this product guide, I'll explain what each can do, why one may be better than the other and ultimately try to help you pick the right one for your requirements. Read on to find out more about each product type and their respective pros and cons.
Soaker Hose Overview
A favourite with many gardeners and the go-to choice for lots of automatic watering installations, it's been around for as long as I can remember. Typically made from recycled rubber and polyethylene, a soaker hose is porous along its entire length allowing water to release slowly and provide a deep soaking for the surrounding area. The internal dimensions are the same as the irrigation supply pipe (13mm), allowing you to use the same fittings and connectors as you'd use with other types of micro irrigation systems. This allows you to completely customise a system to your exacting needs.
The drawback to using soaker hose is that the release of water is unregulated. This causes issues when installing for a larger irrigation system or when you require precision watering. The reason this causes an issue is because as the water travels through the pipe it is losing pressure and flow. The further the water travels through the soaker hose, the less water there is available to be released until you get to a point that there is no more water left to release. Typically I only recommend using up to 20-30 metres per length, and only using 50 metres in total per irrigation zone. This can be limiting, but does not detract the usefulness of soaker hose.
Product Summary:
- Great for small areas requiring a good soaking.
- Run in lengths up to 20-30 metres.
- Use a maximum of 50 metres in a single zone.
- Unregulated release not as efficient (roughly 4lph per metre).
- Use with a pressure reducer.
- Use any Hozelock compatible micro irrigation fittings.
- Can be covered with mulch to help retain soil moisture.
- Degrades over a short period of time (4 years).
Drip Line Overview
The preferred choice of professional installers, drip line is a much more advanced method for drip irrigation systems. Made from the same material as irrigation supply pipe (LDPE), it has pressure compensating drip emitters pre-installed along its entire length spaced every 33cm. The built-in pressure compensating drip emitters allow precise calculation of flow requirements, resulting in efficient watering and easier installation.
It is less susceptible to UV damage, algae growth and provides more efficient watering than soaker hose. Designed to be used in long runs, you can run a length of drip line up to 100 metres, and use anywhere up to 150 metres in a single irrigation zone. Great for watering hedgerows and large areas.
The drawback to using drip line is the cost of the fittings required to make the connections. We recommend using anti-leak fittings to ensure a secure connection when installing. These can be a bit more costly than the standard fittings, but do provide a much better connection and overall more reliable installation.
Product Summary:
- Great for long runs and large areas.
- Run in lengths up to 100 metres.
- Use a maximum of 150 metres in a single zone.
- Regulated release provides reliable, efficient distribution (2.3lph per emitter).
- Pressure compensating emitters spaced every 33cm along length.
- Works best with Claber Anti-Leak Fittings.
- Can be covered with mulch to help retain soil moisture.
- Long life of up to 20 years.

Hi, great advice very easy explaining make my life easy to choose. thanks
Useful advice . Helped me decide to avoid a soaker hose. We have only 20 metres to irrigate, but a 4 year life isn't sufficient for purpose. Have use drip line before and know that works well

Pocilloporids are one of the major reef-building corals in the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) and also the most affected by thermal stress events, mainly those associated with El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) periods. To date, coral growth parameters have been poorly reported in Pocillopora species in the northeastern region of the tropical Pacific. Monthly and annual growth rates of the three most abundant morphospecies (P. cf. verrucosa, P. cf. capitata, and P. cf. damicornis) were evaluated during two annual periods at a site on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The first annual period, 2010-2011 was considered a strong ENSO/La Niña period with cool sea surface temperatures, then followed by a non-ENSO period in 2012-2013. The linear extension rate, skeletal density, and calcification rate averaged (±SD) were 2.31 ± 0.11 cm yr-1, 1.65 ± 0.18 g cm-3, 5.03 ± 0.84 g cm-2 yr-1 respectively, during the strong ENSO event. In contrast, the respective non-ENSO values were 3.50 ± 0.64 cm yr-1, 1.70 ± 0.18 g cm-3, and 6.02 ± 1.36 g cm-2yr-1. This corresponds to 52% and 20% faster linear extension and calcification rates, respectively, during non-ENSO period. The evidence suggests that Pocillopora branching species responded positively with faster growth rates following thermal anomalies, which allow them to maintain coral communities in the region. © 2017 Tortolero-Langarica et al.

Hermatypic corals are an important sessile group in the benthic structure of tropical coral reef communities. Many organisms, in response to the environmental conditions, have developed different strategies of growth by modifying their morphologies and reproduction mode, as is the case of free-living colonies called coralliths. So far, important parameters such as calcification, growth rates and their relation with biotic and abiotic factors on coralliths have not been described. This study represents the first record of a corallith form of Porites lobata and provides information on its sclerochronology. Coral growth parameters of different coralliths were compared by measuring extension rate (cm y-1), skeletal density (g cm-3), calcification rate (g cm-2 y-1), average age (yr) and sphericity (S). The influence of the environment on corallith growth was assessed using water temperature as an abiotic factor and bioturbation by fish as a biotic factor. Analysis of annual density bands using X-ray densitometry provided a mean extension rate of 0.47 ± 0.23 cm y-1, skeletal density of 1.08 ± 0.14 g cm-3, and calcification rate of 0.51 ± 0.26 g cm-2 y-1. The results reveal differences in growth parameters between coralliths including a strong relationship of calcification rate with seawater temperature. In addition, direct and indirect bioturbations promoted the colony rotation resulting in a hemispherical form. Hence, the evidence suggests that scleractinian corals have developed an important growth strategy that allows the species to form new colonies and maintain successful coral reef communities through free-living corallith growth. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

We analyzed relative abundance of nesting Olive Ridley Turtles, Lepidochelys olivacea, on El Naranjo beach, Mexico during 1993–2010, as well as seasonal and spatial distribution of nesting, size of nesting females, and hatching success of nests incubated artificially in polystyrene boxes. El Naranjo beach is located in Bahia de Jaltemba, Nayarit, Mexico where a local non-governmental organization protects a total of 8.3 km of coastline on the north side of the bay. A total of 2,571 nests were protected ex situ with a mean annual 144.5 ± 77.0 (mean ± SD) protected nests (range: 48–267), and 9,457 ± 5,424, hatchlings released (range: 1,850–23,467). During the months of beach monitoring (June-November) significant differences were observed in number of nesting events per month, with maximum nesting occurring between August–October. A total of 57 nesting females were measured during 2009 (n = 18) and 2010 (n = 39). Mean curved carapace length and width was 65.5 cm and 70.7 cm, respectively. Overall hatching success was a relatively high 74.7%. We recommend further research into artificial methods of incubation as this can be an important option in maintaining some populations of sea turtles. © 2014. Catherine Hart. All rights reserved.

The objective was to determine the optimal temperature, thermal preference and maximum incipient lethal temperature (TLImax) and minimum (TLImin) for juveniles prawn Macrobrachium tenellum under laboratory conditions using the acute method. The determination of the optimum temperature was made based on the results of growth and survival of juvenile M. tenellum (0.17 ± 0.02 g and 28.56 ± 1.60 mm) maintained at three temperatures (22, 29 and 36°C) for 15 days, in triplicate. The thermal preference was determined in a thermal gradient table with temperatures adjusted to 20, 23, 25, 27, 30, 33, 35 and 39°C, using the acute method, in which 10 juveniles were introduced (0.38 ± 0.21 g and 40.38 ± 10.33 mm) and acclimated for 72 h at 23, 30 and 32°C, recording the percentage of occurrence per camera every 10 min for three hours (in triplicate). The TLImin and TLImax was estimated at 10 organisms (0.50 ± 0.20 g and 39.65 ± 0.72 mm) acclimated for 72 h at 21, 29 and 36°C by increasing or decreasing the water temperature until the death 50% of population. The highest growths in organisms were obtained at 29°C (optimum temperature). The final preferred temperature was 32.25°C, while TLImin and TLImax to 21°C were 42 and 8.1°C; to 29°C, of 43.2 and 10.2°C; and to 36°C, of 43.5 and 11.1°C, respectively.

Lepidonopsis humilis (Augener, 1922) has been considered as an amphiamerican species, widely recorded in both the Grand Caribbean region and the Tropical Eastern Pacific. Based on type material and additional materials, L. humilis is redescribed herein and its distribution clarified and restricted. Furthermore, the identity of specimens from the Mexican Pacific is clarified and a new species L. barnichae sp. nov. is described. This species is characterized by conical macrotubercles with slightly curved tips; all elytra with a tuft of papillae on the surface, isolated from the marginal papillae; and the second segment dorsally projecting over the prostomium as a small lobe. Additionally, there is a 17.6% genetic divergence in the nucleotide sequence variation of COI between L. humilis and L. barnichae sp. nov., which supports the morphological differences observed. Thus, L. humilis does not have an amphiamerican distribution but is restricted to the Gran Caribbean region; whereas the specimens from the Tropical Eastern Pacific belong to the newly described species L. barnichae sp. nov. A key to the three known species of Lepidonopsis is included. Copyright © 2014 Magnolia Press.

The estimated age (around 45 years) from vertebral growth band counts for the largest Sphyrna mokarran caught in the Gulf of California and Central Mexican Pacific in the last decades, locates it as the oldest elasmobranch reported to date in Mexican Pacific waters. The specimen studied was a mature female of approximately 550 kg of total weight and 424 cm of total length, caught by artisanal fishermen using longlines south of the archipelago of Islas Marías on November 11th 2010. The distance between growth bands showed fast growth during the first 10 years. Growth bands after the age of 38 were only visible in the corpus calcareum, though difficult to separate and count. The age estimated in the present study was similar to the maximum age reported for the species in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, confirming the species as long lived.

Hi everyone,
I'm developing an iPad cocos2d-x game that uses multitouch.
I've noticed that in some cases, in the middle of the game, multitouch doesn't work anymore.Initially I thought this is probably my bug, but after trying to reconstruct the bug I found two things:
Any idea if this can be any kind of bug?Here is my touchesBegan method, _inputAllowed is true for sure, as well as the condition below it, but processTouchBegin is not called.
What can be causing this?I'm using cocos2d-1.0.1-x-0.9.2 if I'mt not mistaken (how can I verify this based on library code?)Can this be a cocos2d-x bug? Should I upgrade to the latest version?
void DiskeyScene::ccTouchesBegan(CCSet* touches, CCEvent* event){ CCSetIterator it; CCTouch* touch;
for( it = touches~~>begin; it != touches~~>end(); it++) { touch = (CCTouch*)(*it);
if(!touch) break;
CCPoint location = touch->locationInView(touch->view());
location = CCDirector::sharedDirector()->convertToGL(location);
if (_inputAllowed) { if (!Constants::AI_ACTIVE || getPlayerIdArea(location) != FIRST_PLAYER) { processTouchBegin(touch, location); } } }}
This was resolved, it's not a a framework bug
I added a view for game center leaderboard, and didn't remove it correctly by not calling removeFromSuperView.After dismissing - multitouch didn't work in successive games.
Once adding this call it was resolved

Mediterranean food can boost brain well being and help lasting reminiscence
A Mediterranean weight loss plan shouldn't be simplest just right for the physique it additionally gives the brain a boost, scientists say.
it is the clearest sign but that consuming greens, nuts, fish and olive oil – while taking into consideration modest quantities of pink meat and alcohol – can future-proof the brain in opposition to dementia.
the sector's most comprehensive find out about into how food impacts brain operate in the heart-aged and elderly discovered an association between food regimen high quality and cognitive decline.
Nephrology specialist Andrew Smyth, who conducted the analysis, stated: "Adoption of a nutritious diet most definitely starts early in lifestyles and (it) might also go together with adoption of other healthy behaviours.
"We found greater weight-reduction plan quality is related to a decreased chance of cognitive decline (and) more desirable weight loss plan high quality represents a very powerful doable goal for reducing the worldwide burden of cognitive decline."
His 5-yr study involved virtually 30,000 people from 40 countries. All were aged 55 or older with diabetes or a history of coronary heart illness, stroke or peripheral artery illness.
Their thinking and reminiscence abilities were tested in the beginning of the find out about, after two and 5 years.
It confirmed these with the healthiest diets have been 24 per cent much less prone to have cognitive decline than individuals with probably the most unhealthy.
everybody used to be asked how regularly they ate meals like fruit and greens, nuts and soy proteins, complete grains, quick meals and the ratio of fish to meat and eggs of their diet.

Rethinking Quality Measures
Quality measures impact 20% of physician compensation, 40% of health system revenue by 2022. Measures can transform provider culture & self-insured employer costs. Guests: Bernadette Spong, CFO of Orlando Health & Richard Royer, CEO of Primaris.
Quality measures may impact up to 20% of physician compensation and 40% of health system revenue by 2022. Healthcare organizations report quality, process, and outcome measures to government agencies and private entities. In this interview, Orlando Health CFO Bernadette Spong and Rick Royer, CEO of Primaris, explore the strategic implications.
Orlando Health is a large integrated delivery system with 8 acute care hospitals and over 500 employed physicians treating approximately 1.5 million patients per year across acute and ambulatory clinical settings.
Primaris delivers 10,000 monthly quality and registry data submissions on behalf of health systems, physician practices, nursing homes, and accountable care organizations.
Collecting and reporting these data incur significant cost and management oversight. The measures purposely influence clinical and business processes though sometimes with unintended consequences.
Healthcare expenditures have come to be one of the single largest expenses for federal and state government as well as private enterprise, consuming 18% of the overall domestic economy. Reducing healthcare spending trends requires an ability to objectively differentiate good from bad healthcare.
Quality measures are the most widely adopted and available metrics to serve this need. As a result, regulated quality measures have growing strategic implications for a healthcare organization's mission achievement and financial sustainability.
Measures can also draw attention to the broad impact of individual clinical conditions. For example, patients acquiring Clostridium Difficile during a hospital stay are extremely expensive to treat, often are readmitted, and measurably impact a hospital's Medicare reimbursement. C. Diff infection rates and outcomes are also directly and indirectly impact reported quality measures.
Even with massive political change in Washington, these data will inevitably grow in strategic importance. Quality measures offer a common method for payers, large employers, and other stakeholders to evaluate health system and physician performance.
For large employers with healthcare spending a top operating expense, quality measures and related registry data are a timely method to drive better care at lower costs.
In this Interview
Richard A. Royer has served as the chief executive officer of Primaris since 2001. He has extensive administrative healthcare experience and is actively involved in several statewide healthcare initiatives. In 2006 he was appointed by the Missouri governor to the Missouri Healthcare Information Technology Task Force and chaired the resources workgroup. He also serves on the board of directors for the Excellence in Missouri Foundation. In his over 35 years of medical business experience he has held positions as chief executive officer at Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, General Hospital; executive director of Columbia Regional Hospital in Missouri; and founder and president of Avalon Enterprises, a medical financial consulting firm. He graduated from the University of Akron, Ohio, with a BS in Accounting, from Cleveland State University with an MBA, and from the Advanced Management Program of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business.
Bernadette Spong serves as Orlando Health's Chief Financial Officer. She oversees finance, supply chain, information systems, revenue management, asset strategy and care coordination. Orlando Health serves approximately 1.5 million patients through its 8 hospitals and 539 physicians located in central Florida. Prior to joining Orlando Health, served in financial leadership roles for the University of North Carolina HealthCare system.

Watch: BBC pay tribute to Anthony Foley as family light final candles in memory of Axel
The BBC paid tribute to both Anthony Foley and Mark Farren during their Sports Personality of the Year awards.
Both Irishmen featured in a touching montage on last night's programme to the sound of 'We can be Heroes'.
The tribute to Foley came on the final day of a campaign organised by his 11-year-old son Tony called #8masses4no8, urging people to attend Sunday mass for the next eight weeks after his father's untimely passing.
Speaking after the concluding Mass in the #8masses4no8 campaign yesterday, Olive Foley said the engagement around the campaign "has reflected the kindness of people".
The final Mass in the campaign was celebrated at Knock Shrine by parish priest Fr Richard Gibbons.
The Mass saw crowds travel from the four provinces, with an estimated crowd of just short of 2,500 attending.
Olive, her sons Tony and Dan, Anthony's parents Brendan and Sheila, and sister Rosie all travelled from Killaloe and were joined by hundreds more from Co Clare. Speaking afterwards, Olive said the final Mass in Knock was an experience that will carry them through the tough days ahead.
She said: "We've had - and will continue to have for a long time - very difficult moments and days. But today was a good day for us and this campaign generally has been amazing. Tony came up with the idea and we all supported it on the grounds that it was so others could have their loved ones remembered alongside Anthony.
"We got such incredible support following what happened to Anthony that we just wanted others to come under that roof and feel the warmth.
"We had people contacting us from all over the world and today at Knock was no different. I must have met everyone in the basilica after Mass and many travelled for hours. Each and every one of them had a story to tell about a person close to them who also passed away."
She added: "We were just so privileged to have so many others join us in this journey and we will never, ever forget that. We offered today's Mass for all those who died and whose family or friends wanted remembered by this campaign."
On the Mass, Olive said: "It was incredible. There was such a sense of peace and compassion and Fr Richard's homily was amazing. It was so kind of him to invite us up today and to dedicate this Mass to the campaign. What we saw here again today reminded us of just how important our faith is and how it is carrying us through a very difficult time."

I'm curious what you think about carots and sticks as they relate to employers strategies to encourage healthy living – in order to get a break from exploding health care costs and to increase productivity, morale, and well-being. After reading the article below, please let us know your thoughts at the comments link at the bottom. Do you love carrots or sticks, or a combination?

Is your health affecting your bottom line? When was the last time the cost of your health insurance premium crossed your mind while on the scale? If the answer is "never," you may be happy to learn that the benefits of a healthy lifestyle can extend beyond the scale into your wallet.
It's no secret that healthcare costs are rising, especially in the United States where approximately two-thirds of adults are either overweight or obese. Both employers and employees are suffering from "high premium-itis" and there appears to be no cure in sight. However, many employers and insurance companies are taking steps to get healthcare costs under control.
So what exactly is being done to address the issue? Well, several approaches seem to be rolling out to combat these super-sized healthcare costs. Some are more obvious than others and some penalize unhealthy habits while others take a more affirming approach. What does not change, however, is the need to provide some form of motivation for employees to take ownership of their health. And, as the old saying goes, money talks.
One approach that will be used by a mid-western employer in the coming years will deduct penalty fees from the paychecks of employees who don't meet prescribed health criteria. Weight, cholesterol, blood pressure and smoking guidelines have been set forth and the company will charge employees $30 every two weeks if they don't meet the criteria. Easy math tells you that's a "health tax" of $720 a year!
On the insurance side, some healthcare companies are now offering health plans with deductibles that can be dramatically reduced by meeting and maintaining specific health criteria. In addition, some insurance companies are now offering programs that promote and reward preventive measures and healthy lifestyles.
For example, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware offers a program called "Healthy Dividends," which provides reimbursement for weight loss, smoking cessation and fitness efforts. (www.bcbsde.com). It's understandable that programs like this are popping up when you consider that a considerable portion of medical benefits go to preventable conditions.
Another much less documented and more controversial approach has been to alter the pay scale based on weight. According to a Stanford University study of obese workers with health coverage, "those surveyed were paid an average of $1.20 less per hour than non obese workers, perhaps because employers intentionally adjust their wages to account for health costs."
Now take that obesity factor and add a side of gender. Another study has suggested that highly-educated, obese women earn about 30 percent less than women of average size. The study concluded that the pressure to be thin may be felt the most by women of higher socio-economic classes. Now that's heavy.
So, here's a call to action! Check out your health insurance policy to see if you there are any programs offered by your employer which reward healthy living. You may find that the cost of your gym membership could be supplemented or that your healthcare premiums could be reduced. Isn't it worth a few minutes to see if your healthy habits can put a few bucks back in your wallet?

Darren McFadden rushed six times for 28 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, adding a five-yard reception. Elliott was among several players on the Cowboys inactive list, despite his suspension not slated to begin until the start of the regular season. With Dak Prescott being the starting quarterback, always remember he was the third-string option last season at the start of training camp.
Elliott is expected to appeal the NFL's decision to suspend him for six games.
"Obviously we know this was something that could happen", Jones said of Elliott's suspension, per 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
Jones hasn't made any public statements since the Elliott suspension has been announced.
Elliott has three days from receipt of the letter to file an appeal, and assuming he does so, he will have a hearing within 10 days of his filing.
"I admit that I am far from ideal, but I plan to continue to work very hard, on and off the field, to mature and earn the great opportunity that I have been given".
In a letter to Elliott informing him of the league's decision, NFL special counsel for conduct Todd Jones said advisers brought in by the league "were of the view that there is substantial and persuasive evidence supporting a finding that (Elliott) engaged in physical violence against Ms. Thompson on multiple occasions during the week of July 16, 2016".
That would constitute a major on-field setback for Dallas, which relied heavily on the rookie running back last season and was rewarded with a 13-3 record and an NFC East title. Elliott's suspension is just the latest in a long list of Cowboys off-field woes during the summer.
The Dallas Cowboys have a bit of a decision to make when it comes to their third string quarterback position for the 2017 National Football League season.
The 2016 National Football League rushing leader was suspended despite prosecutors in Columbus, Ohio, deciding a year ago not to pursue the case involving Elliott's girlfriend at the time in the same city where he starred for Ohio State.

To George Washington from Benjamin Harrison, Sr., 31 January 1783
Virginia in Council Jany 31 1783.
Dear Sir
I was in hopes General Chatileause would have furnished you with the quantity and price of his Claret that was carried off from Hampton road that the disagreeable correspondence entered into with Sir Guy Carleton on that Subject might have been closed. As he has not done it and I know the Count expects payment and looks to me to procure it I am under the necessity of renewing it and again asking the favor of you to send in the enclosed Letter & to Order the money when recd to be paid to the order of Colo. Lavellet to whom I have written to forward the Account to you. I am sure you will obligingly excuse my giving you so much trouble on this trifling affair when you consider that my honor is in some measure engaged to settle it to the satisfaction of the Count.
I have not had a late return of the number of recruits raised in this State tho' I fear it is not very considerable. some men are picked up in the upper parts of the Country, which will induce me to turn my attention that way and double the number of recruiting Officers.
What are your expectations of a peace? Shall we have one before the end of the next campaign? If we have not may we not expect another set of plundering visitors in this quarter? These are interesting questions & I could wish to have them answered if there is no impropriety in doing it. I am with the greatest respect & friendship Dr Sir Your most obedt & Most hble Servant
Benj. Harrison
P.S. Your Excellency will not send Sir Guys letter unless Lavalett sends the acct.
DLC: Papers of George Washington.

Main street, Otaki, is bi-lingual? Come on mate – it's multi-lingual. Certainly the primary languages are Te Reo Maori and English but many other languages are alive and well on Main Street.
There's a woman sitting on a seat just before I cross over to Main Street. She says,'What you reckon about this Jacinda?' I shrug. 'Yeah,' she says, 'you're right.' Then she grins and raises a thumb and I have to grin back. 'We'll see,' I say. And we both smile. A whole chapter of a literary novel in these few words.
Up the street there are hoots, shouts, laughs, hugs, music, squeaky walkers (I'm referring to the frames), the drone of mobility scooters. There are raised eyebrows, pursed mouths, nods, laughs, whispers. Strangers smile good morning and friends walk past each other, their heads busy with what they need to remember at the supermarket or the butcher. Some of us lug library books and complete strangers stop us, indicating the book with a flick. 'Any good?' their eyebrows ask.
A man walks alone, deep in thought, an expression that says, don't mess with me. Another man does a wide detour around him then stops as the first guy flicks his head. The second man goes back his body expressing great reluctance. There is a short low-voiced conversation. Then each goes their separate way one looking relieved, the other impassive.
A young woman stands in front of a queue at an ATM and stares at the screen. She is rigid with shock. What has happened? Is she all right? Then speech returns. 'Mum,' she yells, 'Mum, it's eaten my card.' The queue members turn round, look at each. Nod. We'll come back later.
Someone shouts from the play area. We don't know what they said (we're thinking what to get at the supermarket etc etc) but we nod and smile and hope to God that's the right answer and that they haven't said I'm just off to rob the bank.
Eyes meet eyes, automatic responses to someone managing a walking stick. 'Poor thing,' the eyes around him say to each other, 'one of these days, it'll be us.'
A young man, carrying a triumphant toddler, pushes an empty stroller, grins at comments from his mates. A woman and man walk, one each end of a column of small children, maybe from Kohanga? They are so cute and so intent as they hold hands and follow the leader. None of us can stop smiling.
Outside an op shop someone says, 'Mmn,' studies something for a moment, then walks purposefully into the shop. We all have a quick look to see what impressed her and either look considering, puzzled or approving.
Communication in action doesn't really need words. Frowns, eyebrows, hands, sniffs, pursed lips, smiles, do the job they are meant to do. Like someone weaving a giant harakeke wall hanging, these threads meet, move in and out, weave up and down and around the two main languages adding drama. comedy, curiosity, and life to Main Street.

Lennox 'too happy' to write music
Annie Lennox says she used misery as a catalyst to write songs in the past.
The 59-year-old Scottish singer married South African gynaecologist Dr. Mitch Besser in 2012.
Annie hasn't released new music since her 2007 album Songs of Mass Destruction hit shelves and the songstress confesses being wed to Mitch has impacted her songwriting.
"I've stopped writing because I'm too happy," she revealed during her Nostalgia album launch party Monday night, according to UK newspaper The Mirror.
"It's thanks to someone who shall remain nameless, but he's made me very happy in life these days."
Nostalgia is a compilation LP comprised of renditions of all her favourite jazz, soul and blues songs.
Annie has always been moved by music that expresses raw emotions, but the Walking on Broken Glass singer is no longer willing to delve into depression herself.
"Seriously I think a lot of musicians are sensitive souls, we're usually not always terribly happy in our own lives and so, for me, a lot of my process of writing was certainly cathartic in a way, because it was a very helpful way to get certain feelings expressed and to get them out," she explained. "I think misery is a great catalyst for some extraordinary music, but it's not really ideal to live there 24/7 and I certainly don't.
"I'd rather not be successful and happy, than be super successful and absolutely miserable. For me it's a done deal."
Nostalgia is due for release in October.

This is the best farm-to-table restaurant in New Jersey
New Jersey is called the Garden State for a reason: it's filled with farms and fresh food. So, it's no surprise that many of the state's restaurants have been named some of the best in country. But, what about an eatery that combines the best of both worlds?
We're talking about the farm-to-table movement and Travel + Leisure just rounded up the top eco-friendly restaurants in every state. With so many to choose from in the state, which New Jersey establishment made the coveted list?
"Dreaming of this amazing culinary experience. For all my friends in the Philly area I recommend giving the gift of the ultimate chef's tasting menu at @elementsprinceton. 12 courses of joy." – @krissylei Come celebrate #christmaseve & #newyearseve with elements. We have a special menu planned for both night. [ LINK IN BIO ???? ] for details and reservations
Elements in Princeton was named No. 1 in the state as James Beard Nominated Chef Scott Anderson has prepared a delicious four-course tasting menu, nine-course chef's tasting menu and à la carte options. "His modernist cuisine relies on local farms for produce as well as the foraging and herb growing his own team does," said Pat Tanner of Dine with Pat. "But he also works with local aquaculturists and animal farmers to custom-raise product for him."
While the south Jersey restaurant was called out as the best, a few more spots got honorable mentions. Razza in Jersey City, Brick Farm Tavern in Hopewell and 12 Farms in Hightstown all were mentioned making it pretty clear Jersey is dominating the farm-to-table scene. But, we already knew that.

Optional Information
Considerations for Mac Users
Pictures: If you use a version of PowerPoint prior to 2008, please be sure any embedded pictures are not TIFF format. These images will not show up in Windows PowerPoint. With PowerPoint 2008 for the Mac, this is no longer an issue, and any inserted image will be compatible.
Movies: Quicktime Pro 7 can natively export MOV, DV, QT files as MP4 files with either H264 or MPEG4 compression, or as AVI with DV compression.
To export to MP4 file format using either H264 or MPEG4 compression;
Open up your .mov or .QT file in QuickTime Pro 7. Click "File" at the top, then click "Export".
- Click the down arrow of the "Export:" box right side and select "Movie to MPEG-4″. Then click the "Options" button.
- Select "MP4″ as the "File Format" in the "MPEG-4 Export Settings" dialog-box to choose the codec that you want to use for the compression.
- For the "Video Format" set it to "MPEG-4 Improved", and select the "Image Size" as "Current" and then set the "Data Rate" changes 1500 for SD videos or 5000 for HD videos.
- For the "Frame Rate" set it to "Current" and "Key Frame" to "Automatic".
- Click "OK" to close the ""MPEG-4 Export Settings" dialog-box.
- Choose the folder you'd like to export the video to, set the file name, and finally click "Save" to begin the export process.
If you cannot convert the files or have a considerable number of files, please check with a technician in the Speaker Ready Room who can make arrangements to convert the videos, confirm you will be allowed to present off your own laptop.
Keynote Users: Keynote will not be accepted since it cannot be played back on PC. Please export your presentation as a PowerPoint.
If your presentation includes movie, audio or other video formats
Movies: The preferred format is Windows Media Video (WMV). Please take steps to compress your videos. Uncompressed videos will take longer to upload and will not be better quality than a modern MPEG-4 codec. We can only accept movies created as WMV, MPG, MP4 (H.264 or MPEG4 codecs), or AVI (Divx, Xvid, or WMV codecs).
Audio: The preferred format for audio files is Windows Media Audio WMA and MP3. We can only accept files created as WMA, MP3, WAV, M4A & AAC. Given ample time it's possible other formats can be support via conversion in the Speaker Ready Room.
Flash content (SWF) is supported but must be tested as conversion may be required.
Apple Quicktime formats such as MOV, QT, MP4, or DV files are NOT fully supported in Windows PowerPoint 2010. Options to convert these movies to a Windows compatible AVI/MP4/WMV are discussed below in Considerations for Mac Users.
DVDs: If you plan to play a DVD as part of your presentation, please notify a technician in the Speaker Ready Room so arrangements can be made for assistance in your meeting room.
Fonts: We only support fonts that are included with Office 2003/2007/2010/2013. If you need a specialized font, it should be embedded into your PowerPoint presentation. For instructions on this process, please click on the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826832/en-us
General tips for presentations
There is no capability for dual screen, side-by-side comparisons, or the ability to show videotape simultaneously with PowerPoint slides.
Preparing Your PowerPoint Presentation
This section contains some helpful information in preparing your PowerPoint presentation.
General PowerPoint Tips:
The graphics you project on the screen should help clarify ideas, emphasize key points, show relationships, and provide the visual information your audience needs to understand your message.
- Keep visuals CLEAR and SIMPLE. Abbreviate your message.
- Simple graphs, charts and diagrams are much more meaningful to an audience than complex, cluttered ones.
- Avoid the overuse of too many colours, patterns and graphics in one frame.
- Use a minimum of words for text and title frames. Five to eight lines per frame and five to seven words per line are the maximum – less is better.
- Upper and lower case lettering is more legible than all capital letters.
- Vary the size of lettering to emphasize headings and subheadings – but avoid using more than three font sizes per frame.
- Sans serif type projects better and is easier to read.
- Try to maintain the same or similar type size from frame to frame – even if some frames have less text – avoid a "lonely" word on a screen.
- Try to keep all type horizontal to the page, even with charts.
- Contrasting colours work best. A good rule of thumb: use a dark background colour with lighter colour for text and graphics
- Highlight your main point or heading with a dominant colour (example: yellow heading, white body).
- Avoid intensely bright or saturated colours that compete with the text.
- Keep colour scheme consistent throughout your presentation. Changing colours and type styles can be very confusing and distract from your message.
Some general options to consider:
- Cool Colours: (most effective background colours – blue, turquoise, purple, magenta, etc.) These colours appear to recede or draw away from the eye – allowing the text to appear more readable. In one study, it was found that the most effective background colour for projection is blue.
- Graduated Backgrounds: A background that transitions smoothly from lighter to darker shades of the same hue can be an effective background. Some software packages will even allow the gradation from one colour to another.
- Textured Backgrounds: A textured background can be combined to create an interesting image, but remember that you want the background to be just that – a background. It shouldn't call attention to itself or cause clutter or confusion, but instead, enhance the foreground data.
- Photographic Materials: In addition to the use of graphics, photographs can provide an excellent means for communication – "one picture is worth…" Combined with simple, straightforward graphics, illustrations, cartoons and artwork, photos will bring another dimension to your presentation.
Your visual elements communicate more than the information for your presentation – they are part of your style, your flair and should be a reflection of your personality. Make them clear, make them readable and make them interesting. It will pay off in the long run and ensure that each presentation you make is your best.
Opening Remarks
Salutary remarks are at your discretion and are often directed to the chairperson. It is not necessary to acknowledge the co-authors by name in the introductory remarks as they are listed in the program.
Laser Pointer: The laser pointer should aid the presentation, not be a distraction. When not in use make sure you are not activating the laser, accidentally shining it into the audience, or away from the screens.
By following the guidelines above, your presentation will go smoothly. Should you have any questions not addressed in this document, please feel free to email.

Current mood: creative
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
In May of 1996, I announced my decision to attend New York University. Most of my friends were excited about making their escapes from Kentucky, so they were happy to hear I was NYC-bound.
The next day in school, I was bombarded with, "You can't go to NYU! You're going to form a prostitution ring and be murdered!"
I thought that was pretty weird, but really not that weird. My relatives were worried about all kinds dangers I'd face in The City. It was just odd that so many different people were telling me the exact same plot: that to earn money at NYU, I'd be forced to become a Lady of the Night and would subsequently be murdered.
It turns out that everyone I knew had watched Law & Order* that night. And in a huge coincidence (maybe), the episode was about a college student at some fictional New York City university had indeed become a hooker and was murdered. The victim's name? "Bridget Kaylin."
No joke.
I never saw that episode, but every six months or so for the past twelve years, someone calls me and says, "Dude! I was watching reruns of Law & Order, and you'll never believe this, but the victim was Brigid Kaelin! They said 'Brigid Kaelin' repeatedly all through the show!"
Believe it or not, I've never sat through an entire episode of Law & Order. That could be because I have trouble sitting still for any length of time, or more likely, that I just don't really get into crime dramas.
Today, however, someone actually had the forethought to call me and tell me the episode was on TNT at that very moment. (Why has no one done this before?) I watched it, and it was really really really bizarre to hear them saying, "Admit it! You murdered Brigid Kaelin!" or "You were having an affair with Brigid Kaelin!"
Neither one of my names is particularly common. I think the screenwriters probably took that year's list of NYU's matriculates, and borrowed the one from Kentucky's name so-as to frighten her away. Obviously. Too bad she doesn't watch Law & Order. Maybe if she had been a Saved by the Bell character or something, I would have gone to Northwestern instead.
Thanks to my Uncle Billy for letting me know it was on. It was nice to finally see it.

Fans of James Clavell's work will be familiar with his 1986 children's story Thrump-O-Moto (The Little Samurai), but may not know that Connoisseur produced three limited edition studies based on the book and the George Sharp illustrations within it.
The story tells of Patricia, a young Australian girl with a physical disability, and her adventures with a small, elf-like trainee wizard named Thrump-O-Moto who appears one day in her world and – rather like E.T. – needs her help in order to return home to Japan. Patricia accompanies him and in gratitude he decides to find a way to help her, assisted by his family and some unexpected friends. Connoisseur portrayed two of the characters in porcelain.
Thrump-O-Moto is 7.5" (19 cm) high and was an edition of 200 designed by Richard Sefton, issued in 1986 at $775. He follows the George Sharp illustration both in decoration and pose; there is a wonderful sense of imminent motion as he prepares to draw his blade from its sheath, facing the evil monster Nurk-U who threatens his new friend Patricia.
This somewhat improbable fellow is named Charley Rednosebeerdrinker (for obvious reasons) and was designed by Richard Roberts. He too was an edition of 200, from 1986 at $775, and is 7" (17.75 cm) high. The book describes Charley as a
…rotund little man [who] came out from under a fallen tree, a beer mug in his hand, his long coat and tight trousers were patched and not very clean at all and his top hat was bent and busted and perched on his head. His eyes were twinkling eyes and his nose big and very red.
The yellow flowers are the magical Sunset Primroses whose essence is needed for the potion that will put Patricia on the road to recovery.
Unfortunately these are the only two characters that Connoisseur created. It would have been delightful to also have a study of Patricia, of Thrump-O-Moto's elegant and serene mother Ka-chan or the wise Grandfather Ten. However, although not a sculpture, there was a third item in the series: a handpainted porcelain plaque.
This is a one-of-a-kind painting on porcelain by Sandy Griffiths, whose mother Freda Griffiths was also a Connoisseur artist. The overall (framed) size is 18.5" h x 13.75" w (47cm x 35 cm); the viewable area is 15" h x 10.5" w (38 cm x ~26.5 cm). As with all of the Connoisseur of Malvern plaques, it was sold already framed and with the backstamps visible through an opening in the wood 'mount'. The autograph shown is that of J.R. (Richard) Roberts who designed Charley.
These were not the only Clavell characters that Connoisseur of Malvern depicted; see The Sefton Equines for a view of the magnificent Shogun. Richard Sefton also designed Tai Pan which appears in the Human Studies post.
