Boxing Clever
September 1, 2012 at 10:32 pm Leave a comment
Five boxers from Cameroon who went missing during the London2012 Olympic Games have been found. It appears that the lure of the "sweet Science," was too much for them as the turned up at a boxing gym in New Cross, South London, asking if they could spar.
Coach John Addis is reported as saying that the sparring session was one of th best his gym had ever witnessed.
It is believed all five wish to stay in Britain and explore the possibility of turning professional. Should they go on and win World Titles for Great Britain one wonders if they may one day be labeled the Famous Five!

Everything has its beginning. And if you believe that time starts from somewhere, also consider the genesis of time measurements.
Early women and men have devised a system to tell the exact date. But a device that exactly tells the spot on time comes much later. Water clocks, sundials, and candle clocks are the earliest instruments that somehow manage to tell time but accuracy is far from achievable.
In the 13th century, weight-driven clocks were developed. It used gears at the same time as hour hand was already used at the same time as the minute hand was an indication of luxury and wealth. The weight-driven clocks were publicly displayed on church towers, municipality halls, and monasteries.
In the 16th century, clocks were produced using spring instead of weight. The portable clocks or the pocket watches were the 1st timepieces that the public can own. During this time, the only persons who can own them were the rich and owning one signified the status, authority, and wealth of the person. Often, portable watches were placed on the wall of the house. The term ìportableî even though did not mean it could be carried on your pocket. The term changed its meaning some years later.
The 1st transportable watches or pocket watches was used also in the 16th century. This time, clocks no longer had to stay at one place. Pocket watches can already be worn around the neck or carried on a pocket. The same era also brought revolution to the development of pocket watches. Mechanisms were introduced to get time-telling precision. Some packet watches even had an alarm.
The entry of the 17th century made pocket watched even more desirable. The box-like image was removed and was replaced by more rounded and slimmer cases. Clockmakers also became instant artists as they infuse designs and craftsmanship to every pocket watch the made.
When Christian Huygens discovered the law of pendulum, which for your information was various from Galileoís, clock had yet again moved one step further. The law proved to be very helpful in the development of pocket watches.
In the 18th century, pocket watches continued to evolve. This time, jewels were used as bearings. Diamonds became part of some pocket watches that boosted the cost of a single pocket watch to the ceiling. Oil was also became part of pocket watches during this period. This was to lubricate and smoothen the movement of the watchís hands. In the second half of the 18th century, pocket watches were produced with 3 hands. Contrary to the inclusion of the minute hand during the 16th century, second hand made sense since accuracy in telling time was far superior.
In the 19th century came the glory days of the packet watches. This era brought the lots and lots of watchmakers into the picture. Names such as LeCoultre & Cie, Ulysse Nardin, Minerva, Heuer, IWC, and many others were established in this period. The quality of pocket watches became better than ever.
By the turn of the 20th century, certificates were issued to those watchmakers that created spot on watches. Unlike the most recent years, issuance of certificate became more of a requirement than luxury.
And as the years gone by, the popularity of pocket watches diminished as wristwatches became more popular.
Although pocket watches are not so much used today, it has served as one of the important instruments for lots and lots of centuries.

I have this problem with my desktop. THe solution was to change the ACPI option in lilo.conf to ACPI=force. If you use ACPI rather then APM, this shouldn't be a problem, however I don't know how it would affect APM if you use that instead.

Games Inbox: XCOM 2 player reaction, PC building advice, and Twitch Prime
The evening Inbox worries that online-only is creeping back into games, as one reader enjoys Hitman's latest episode.
To join in with the discussions yourself email firstname.lastname@example.com
They got Gary
Haven't written in ages, but my word XCOM 2 is brilliant – spent the whole weekend re-creating my friends as soldiers, then sending them out to take on the various alien scum in lots of different scenarios. The funny thing is when random soldier B dies I don't really care. but when its Col. Gary 'Stretch' Wilson with 28 confirmed kills it's a complete travesty and generally prompts a re-load to start the mission again.
How anyone completes this on iron man mode I'll never know, but once I complete it on normal I intend to give it a go. Game of the year: 9.5/10.
Taking of ½ a point for the long load times and screen tearing, but small compromise to finally get to play it on console.
No one said it'd be easy
I'm really enjoying XCOM 2 at the moment, but one thing you didn't mention in your review, GC. is how punishing the difficulty is compared to Enemy Unknown/Within. I think the creators must've recently played too many roguelikes because even on normal difficulty the challenge is rock hard.
I'll explain (mild spoilers ahead). In XCOM 2 you fight enemies from the off that are as dangerous as some of the aliens you initially met around the middle of Enemy Within. You're also usually outnumbered 3 to 1, plus the aliens have better weapons and armour than you and skills that can devastate your squad. In addition, unlike the previous games, where you could take your time playing strategically using cover and overwatch, most missions are under strict time constraints that force you to run insanely across the map, abandoning your tactics on the way.
Enemies spawn out of the blue and get a free movement turn as they arrive, so you're regularly trapped in a frontal battle that quickly escalates with a flanking attack by fresh enemies. That's without even considering mind control, reanimated corpses, imposter enemies, and soldiers that go insane when they witness a squad-mate getting wounded.
I was squad wiped three times on my first normal playthrough and was left with only a couple of rookies, so I've had to start a second playthrough on easy difficulty. I completed Enemy Within on Classic difficulty in iron man mode so I'm no strategy game noob either. So hopefully I'll pick up some tips during my easy run through and then give normal difficulty another shot. I do love the game, but I'm currently finding Darkest Dungeon more forgiving than XCOM 2!
Crazy-Crusha (PSN ID)
PS: I also love the disclaimer screen at the start of XCOM 2 stating that the video game is fictitious and does not represent actual world events… really? I'm shocked!
Online secret
Is this a thing? My PS Plus membership ran out the other week and I've not gotten round to continuing my membership yet, as it seems more complicated since I have to say buongiorno for good morning where I now live. Anyway, just because I don't have Plus at the moment, it seems my Black Ops III single-player save doesn't work. Surely this is just on the PlayStation 4 hard drive and not related to having Plus? I know it can be played with people online, the single-player, but how is this a thing, to not be able to continue?
£40 or more sterling I paid but I can't carry on offline? If so, and it seems that way unless my one-year-old knows how to cancel saves, is more fuel to the 'this gen sucks' fire that I've been stoking as of late. Massive installs, terrible controller battery life, laughable initial hard drive space that's nowhere near enough, which on PlayStation 3 was fine as it required only megabytes but now is always gigabytes. Bah! If it is a thing why no option to just continue the previous game with no online component? I don't have the time to start from scratch you see.
GC: Many games are essentially online-only now, although publishers never like to talk about. We're not sure whether that's specifically what going on here though, it could also be that the save was on the cloud.

Lifted up
I spent Sunday morning playing the new Hitman episode set in Colorado, it's a much better instalment than Bangkok.
With its mud, slurry, and survivalist fortifications Episode 5's map is uglier than the Bangkok hotel but I found it more engaging. Possibly this is because the new level demands greater concentration.
There's no doubt that I found this mission the hardest yet. Episode 5 presents multiple targets and almost everyone seems to be carrying an air of hostility and an automatic weapon.
I did manage to exploit a glitch in the artificial intelligence by neutralising 10 people with a car lift. Curiously the camp's guards surrounded me and just looked on while I repeatedly squashed their comrades.
I was gunned down as soon as I made a run for it though.
Overall a good episode but with just two instalments to go I don't think the developers are ever going to top Sapienza.
Hitman's adventure in Colorado gets 7/10 from me.

Family memories
RE: Hot Topic. Initially, my choice was my favourite: The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time because it's my favourite. The upgrade from the previous adventure, with all the user-friendly new-fangled options and thought-provoking experiences, has been unparalleled since…!
However, something else more worthy of mention is that back in the day when I played it, my children were younger and, at the time, lived with me and we shared the experience together. Those are memories I'll fondly remember and hope to never forget…! Nostalgia is a very, very serious factor to be considered.
While we are looking forward to the upcoming Breath Of The Wild, it seems from the various videos of gameplay I've seen this game will be a serious contender for my choice of favourite game (but only from a gameplay standpoint. However, unless we all four play it together, it will fall short of the affection I have for Ocarina Of Time.
Bill Meylan
First time
This weekend's Hot Topic was an interesting one, as I am currently experiencing a few games for the first time.
After a few false starts I finally finished Bioshock Infinite and I am currently restarting GTA IV after trying and failing many times to get past the first few hours of boredom.
The problem with GTA IV is I don't want to date or surf the Web. So the long tutorial and missions to show of the features just bored me. When I played GTA V I instantly fell in love with it. I'm three hours in and still yet to do anything interesting other than chase and kill.
After GTA IV I have Deus Ex: Human Revolution to try for the first time.
Anthony Daniels
Prime addition
I've just found out via a Twitch stream (Happy Stupendous) that there is now Twitch Prime. You'll just need to link your urgent account with your Amazon Prime account. It gives you various downloads for certain games, discounts on games, one subscription every month free, and ad free viewing.
Might not mean a lot to a lot, but if you've already got an Amazon Prime account link your Twitch account and support your favourite streamer for free.
Remote play
I suggest to other readers to checkout barebones and motherboard bundles available on the Internet. I also recommend DIY cloud gaming apps like remotr available on for game streaming from a home PC.
As for graphics cards, it seems like AMD will win the DirectX 12 war. M.2 NVMe solid state hard disks are the latest standard as well.

Technical specifications
In response to ObsoletePaul; Yes, a high end gaming PC will cost more than he has budgeted. There are diminishing returns though, so there is no need to spend too much. My overclocked PC ORAC is not only for gaming and so is specced for work use too, so it did cost a lot more.
You can build even faster gaming PCs, but mine will play any new game at 4K in ultra settings at great frame rates. My build specification follows:

GC: Thanks very much to you all. We've sent creepyg81 one, so we've still got two to give out to whoever wants them.
This week's Hot Topic
The subject for this weekend's Inbox was inspired by reader Ty Snowdon, and asks whether you collect and play retro video games?
Assuming retro means anything from PlayStation 2 era on back, do you still buy and collect old consoles and games (emulated games don't count)? And how much do you play them compared to modern titles?
How serious are you about your collecting and how do you decide what to focus on? Do you buy imported American and Japanese consoles and games, or just stick to what was released in the UK? What's the most expensive item you've collected and what lengths do you go to in order to play them authentically, in terms of peripherals and TVs?
E-mail your comments to: email@example.com

Mark Murphy from the Niagara College Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management course.
This weekend the Niagara College Brewmaster program is taking part in the college's Decadence event - A celebration of chocolate and icewine (and beer!). Under the guidance of brewmaster Jon Downing, the students prepared three special beers, and some have offered their own tasting notes!
Black Forest Schwarzbier - 6.5% abv:
"Pours a rich black with mahogany hues and a wispy white head. The aroma is a lovely chocolate and tart cherry while the pilsner and munich malt (malz) still have the opportunity to shine through, giving it a true schwarz character. The taste of this beer is everything you'd find in a black forest cake without the heaviness. There is a great milk chocolate sweetness that catches the pocket of the tongue as the cherry and lactose sugars climb the sides of the tongue to the tip with a clean, yet sharp tartness. There is a lovely bitterness from the hops that sits nicely to balance out the sweetness of the beer. The lactose in this beer adds to a lovely silky mouthfeel that remains light yet covers the whole palate. This beer blends beautifully with a black forest cake or for those looking for something fat free, by itself!"
- Andrew Bartle, Newf via Toronto
Icewine Wheat - 7% abv:
"Aromas are somewhat similar to a saison, in that it's dry, floral and reminiscent of a funky Belgian yeast. The icewine juice combined with the hallertau hops combine to give a very pleasant riesling like beer with heavy floral tastes and a slight drying bitterness. The beer is light bodied, has a medium carbonation and is a brilliant golden colour."
- Andrew Bullied, Calgary
Chocolate Bockbier - 6% abv:
"The chocobock features a nice sweet malt aroma with notes of alcohol warmth and chocolate. The
chocolate aroma becomes more pronounced as the beer warms. An initially sweet flavour gives way
to a pronounced drying cocoa presence with roasted notes and a nice lingering alcohol warmth. An
excellent accompaniment for any chocolate dessert."
- Austin Roach, Toronto
Two decadence events specifically highlight these beers:
Beer and Chocolate:
Join Brewmaster Jon Downing and sensory expert Jennifer Wilhelm to discover the many ways these two age old indulgences complement each other. Experience unique beers, decadent chocolate treats and take away a gift to help you enjoy your indulgences even more!

Why Come to Council Meetings?
I think I have it figured it out. The reason is Dustin. That's my beautiful boy in the photo. Handsome bugger isn't he? It's about Dustin, it's about his friends and classmates and all the children in Nova Scotia. They are why we need to become engaged in the politics and the future of Nova Scotia.
You see, right now Nova Scotia is at a cross roads. Lunenburg is also at a cross roads because it is part of Nova Scotia and can not exist as an island. In case you haven't heard the news, the projections for the future of Nova Scotia are not good. I have read that by 2030, 15 years from now, when my son will be 26, only 10% of Nova Scotia's population will be of working age. The other 90% will either be minors or elderly. That means 10% of the population supporting 90% of the population. So, as things stand today, there is no future for our children in Lunenburg or in the rest of Nova Scotia. Unless we do the very difficult work that is in front of us.
So, what does this have to do with council meeting tomorrow? If Nova Scotia is to find a way out of our current economic reality, we need the brain power of everyone here. Everyone needs to become engaged. It is unfair to think that in the town of Lunenburg six councilors and a mayor should be responsible for the future of all our children. They need our help. Nova Scotia needs the help of Nova Scotians.
Many people in Lunenburg have come to council meetings in support of home based business and in support of me. The feedback I hear most often is, 'that was painfully boring.' I could not agree more. It has been difficult to hear, difficult to read the projector and there has been no effort to include the people in the gallery. Our current system is not set up to engage the people, but it does not need to stay that way. It can not stay that way. By coming to council meetings we will help our councilors understand that we care deeply about our future and we want to be included.
Look around at the people in Lunenburg. The town is overflowing with ideas and intelligence. If we can harness this we will create a bright future for our children. It's time for our councils to find ways to include the citizens in finding the solutions. It's the right thing to do.
Lunenburg council meeting is Tuesday October 13th at 5:15. You can come late. You can leave early. If you don't live in Lunenburg you can still come or find out when your council holds their meetings and take a seat.

Libi slept in today. She and Daddy went to Starbuck's to meet up with Shonna-- one of Daddy's ASB director friends. Libs was a good girl, but Daddy had a bit of a challenge changing her without a diaper changing thing in the restroom. He was quite resourceful and he changed her in mid-air. It lead to an interesting fit with the diaper, but Daddy gets points for his attempt.
Daddy dropped her off at home and went to run some errands. Libs took a nice long nap and Mommy played on the computer.
We spent the evening watching movies, Mommy cooked dinner, and relaxing. Grandmalito will be coming over tonight for a visit.

Decided: January 14, 1959.
JOHN D. CASE AND ELEANOR H. CASE, HIS WIFE, ET ALS., PLAINTIFFS,v.DANIEL C. MCGUIRE, INC., A CORPORATION OF MICHIGAN DOING BUSINESS IN NEW JERSEY; DANIEL C. MCGUIRE; AND THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE NORTH HUNTERDON REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT, A BODY CORPORATE UNDER TITLE 18 OF THE REVISED STATUTES OF NEW JERSEY, DEFENDANTS
Kingfield, J.s.c.
[53 NJSuper Page 496] In the first count of this action, the plaintiffs, 60 in number, demand judgment against two of the defendants, Daniel C. McGuire, Inc. and Daniel C. McGuire, enjoining and restraining them from constructing and operating a sports car center and race track. In the second count the plaintiffs instituted a proceeding in lieu of prerogative writs against the third defendant, the Board of Education of the North Hunterdon Regional High School District, hereinafter designated as the board of education,
[53 NJSuper Page 497]
and sought to compel the board of education to join plaintiffs in their action for an injunction, or to bring an injunctive proceeding of its own against the other two defendants.
The board of education has filed a motion to dismiss the action brought against it on the ground that the complaint fails to state a claim against it upon which relief can be granted. The parties have agreed that the matter be submitted for determination on briefs.
The sports car center and race track will be constructed upon a tract of land adjoining land on which the board of education is operating a regional high school. The plaintiffs have alleged that the operation of the track will constitute a nuisance and will in general distract the students and teachers and make education much more difficult. The plaintiffs addressed to the board of education a letter which was read at a meeting of the board of education requesting it to join the plaintiffs in their injunction action or to bring such an action of its own. At a meeting held on November 18, 1958, the board of education passed a resolution placing itself "on record as being opposed to the establishment of a race track across Regional Road from the high school." The board of education took no further action in the matter, and has not joined in the complaint; nor has it taken any action to bring an injunctive proceeding of its own.
The plaintiffs state that the board of education is charged with the operation of the school, and having found that the race track would be detrimental to this operation, it was under a ministerial duty to take action against the construction of the said race track; by passing the resolution opposing the construction of the race track the board of education has fulfilled its discretionary authority in the matter and there only remains to be done the ministerial act to institute the injunctive proceeding.
The board of education contends that it cannot be compelled through a proceeding in lieu of prerogative writ to perform a discretionary act; that it should not be deprived
[53 NJSuper Page 498]
of its power to exercise its discretion as to the time and conditions under which it should file a legal proceeding in the matter.
It is said that an official duty is "ministerial" when it is absolutely certain and imperative, involving merely the execution of a set task, and when the law which imposes it prescribes and defines the time, mode and occasion of its performance with such certainty that nothing remains for judgment or discretion. Official action is ministerial when it is the result of performing a certain and specific duty arising from fixed and designated facts. A ministerial act is one which public officials are required to perform upon a given state of facts in a prescribed manner, in obedience to the mandate of legal authority and without regard to their own judgment or opinion concerning the propriety or impropriety of the act to be performed. State v. Winne , 21 N.J. Super. 180, 199 (Law Div. 1952).
Discretion means power or right conferred upon the public officials by law of acting officially under certain circumstances according to the dictates of their own judgment and conscience, and not controlled by the judgment or conscience of others. Switz v. Middletown Twp. , 40 N.J. Super. 217, 230 (App. Div. 1956).
A prerogative writ in the nature of mandamus is available only where there is a clear and definite right to the performance of a ministerial duty in essence mandatory and final and wholly free of the element of discretion, or to direct without controlling the exercise of a discretionary authority. Gallena v. Scott , 11 N.J. 231, 238 (1953). Unless the particular duty be peremptory, the fair exercise of judgment and discretion is the province of the functioning authority. Mandamus issues to compel the performance, in a specified manner, of ministerial duties so plain in point of law and so clear in matter of fact that no element of discretion is left as to the precise mode of their performance, but as to ...

Mark Warburton's men have failed to win either of their last two Scottish Championship games.
Danny Wilson has insisted that Rangers' squad should have no issues getting themselves ready for the Scottish Cup final, despite their recent dip in form, The Scottish Sun reports.
In their first three games in April, the Gers wrapped up the Scottish Championship title, won the Challenge Cup final against Peterhead and booked their place in the Scottish Cup final with a victory over Old Firm rivals Celtic.
However, since then, they have lost to Hibernian and then followed that up by drawing 1-1 at home against Alloa, who are eight points adrift at the bottom of the table and have already been relegated to the third tier.
But the defender has dismissed any concerns that any hangover from their success will prevent Mark Warburton's men from being motivated when they face Hibernian in the final next month.
"If you can't motivate yourself for a cup final you're not worth your salt as a player," he told The Scottish Sun.
"It shouldn't be an issue for us to stay on track. We are delighted to be in the cup final but now we're in it we want to win it, we have to win it.
"That will be enough motivation for us to carry on. We'll be fresh and that could work in our favour."
While the success that the Light Blues have enjoyed this term would suggest that they will go into the game at Hampden Park as favourites, the fact that Alan Stubbs' men's play-off campaign means that they could be playing much closer to the cup final may see them carry the momentum into the game.
And with Hibs proving in midweek that they are still capable of beating the Gers, Warburton will be reminding his players that if they go into the final even slightly demotivated, they can kiss their chances of bagging the treble goodbye.

George Will reflects on the political incivilities we have been wittnessing since the Bork hearings. He doesnt like it. His conclusion: "Life has been called a series of habits disturbed by a few thoughts. Civil society is kept civil by certain habits of restraint. Inflammatory political ideas can overturn habits, sometimes for the better, usually not. But no discernible ideas, at least none that are more than appetites tarted up as ideas, account for the vandalism by political overreachers of both parties.
Each vandal seems to think that his or her passions are their own excuse for existing. As Santayana said, such thinking is the defining trait of barbarians."
I wonder what Will thinks of being quoted in the Berkeley study?
"As Santayana said, such thinking is the defining trait of barbarians."
Here is a very popular liberal website. Note the lack of intellectual response (to Jacobys simplistic "reasons"). Bartcop is the very essence of the next generation of Democrats. On his homepage he responds to one of his readers thus:
Jeez man, what is this idolotry you have for Bill Clinton the biggest fake since Warren G. Harding! He faked his whole presidency.
Wait, youre saying peace and prosperity are fake, but war and recession are real? Lets go with the fake, then. Nobody died under Clinton.
"Nobody died under Clinton" is, of course, a tacit lie. Yet it is a lie that should not be easily dismissed. Like Clinton himself, the lie is made so effortlessly, and with such simple conviction that even I, one who knows better, was at first taken by it.
It is often said these days that conservatives think liberals are stupid while liberals think conservatives are "evil." Quite the opposite may very well be closer to the truth.

Aug 07 (TheWrap.com) - "Guardians of the Galaxy" has decidedly launched Chris Pratt to another level in his career, but according to the actor in a new in-depth interview, he almost turned down the opportunity.
In a new Esquire Magazine spread that took him to the bayous of Louisiana, Pratt details how he met his wife Anna Faris when she was still married to someone else, on the set of 2007's "Take Me Out Tonight," and how he bought her a gun to protect herself from any intruders while he's away shooting on location. Turns out, he's a bit of a gun nut and owns up to 40 weapons, though he believes in gun ownership being heavily regulated.
Most revelatory of all, the "Parks and Recreations" actor almost passed on the chance to play Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy," which opened to $94 million over the weekend.
"When 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was pitched to me, I said, 'I don't think so,'" he tells Esquire magazine for their September cover story. "I just didn't picture myself getting the role. I didn't want to go and embarrass myself like I did when I auditioned for 'G.I. Joe' a couple of years previously. I went in there, and halfway through I saw the director's eyes just glaze over. It made sense–I was a little heavy and out of shape. I was not gonna play someone from G.I. Joe. I did not look like a G.I. Joe action figure come to life."
But he certainly does now. Pratt has kept the Star-Lord physique for his next role, the lead in "Jurassic World," which recently wrapped filming and comes out next summer.
The September issue of Esquire with Pratt on the cover hits newsstands Aug. 12.

With The Simpsons faring pretty well with its iOS hit, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, Fox is hoping to duplicate that same success with another of its Sunday night staples: Family Guy. Fox and developer TinyCo have announced that Family Guy: The Quest For Stuff will hit iOS on April 10.
The Quest For Stufff will feature the animated sitcom's recognizable art style, along with all of the show's voice actors and stories from creator Seth MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door Productions. The central premise sees players helping rebuild the town of Quahog after it was demolished in a recent fight between main character Peter Griffin and his nemesis, the Giant Chicken. And to think, it all started with an expired coupon.
Family Guy: The Quest For Stuff will be free-to-play, with in-app purchases. Hopefully, it'll be better than that time Activision released a Family Guy game to abysmal reviews. (Insert cutaway gag here.)

Running a successful business is complicated irrespective of the field you might be operating in and it can get worse when having to tackle with all sorts of organising related issues. One topic in particular that can be quite confusing for all entrepreneurs is choosing the right shelving and racking supplier. Having the right storage solution in your facility is utterly important, as it supports productivity and speed of operations, but sometimes the best solutions are not the cheapest and many businesses make the mistake of going for the cheapest racking available. However, that's not the best criteria to choose a shelving supplier with and here are 3 reasons why you should definitely do your homework in order to identify the best supplier on the shelving units UK market.
Working with the best on the market does entitle you to some rather great choices when it comes to racking and shelving systems. As you can imagine, organising your facility using shelving units should be a decision focused mainly on the type of business you are running. A reliable and specialist supplier will always consider the needs of its clients, offering them top products that can indeed live up to expectations. This is actually what matters most when properly fitting your warehouse. By working with a professional shelving and racking supplier you will be making only solid investments.
It is the goal of all entrepreneurs to see their business grow and develop. Strangely enough, for some owners, there is a downside to this growth. As soon as the business starts to develop, the entire warehouse shelving and storage systems need to be redesigned. Unreliable suppliers, looking only to make profit, will not offer you any solution, apart from a complete and total change of the storage system. This of course will end up costing you a lot, so you won't really get to enjoy the growth of your company. However, when collaborating with a top supplier, the system you already own will be adapted to fit your present needs. Thus, the overall investment will certainly not be overwhelming.
This is a very convincing argument, which will certainly make you understand exactly why top suppliers are highly sought after by entrepreneurs. When collaborating with such a company you are provided with designed solutions that fit your needs perfectly. Instead of trying to make use of standard shelving units, you could order solutions that have been specifically adapted to your needs and your needs only. Also, you can say goodbye to the talented handymen. Top suppliers will only work with qualified and certified installers who know exactly what they are doing, capable of properly installing even the most complicated of systems. In addition, most of these installation services are included in the project proposal, so you won't have to add to the original cost.

Two of the most common terms used in the shipping industry are LTL (less than truck load) and FTL (full truckload). Their meanings are pretty straightforward. If you are a shipper of goods, it's important that you know what LTL and FTL means so you'll be guided on which method to use for each shipment you'll make.
What is LTL Shipping?
LTL means the goods being transported will not take up the entire space available in the truck. It is the ideal option for small businesses whose goods are shipped in small quantities. Typically, shipments that use LTL weigh between 100 and 10,000 pounds and you can also choose to have ltl expedited truckload shipping or ltl refrigerated truckload shipping.
When you ship your goods through LTL, you save on cost because you only need to pay for the space you use and the length of travel. Let's say your shipment takes up one fourth of the space on the truck and is the first to be delivered. That means you only get charged for one fourth the cost of the truck, and the transportation cost for that fraction of distance covered. Other customers who ship their goods through the same truck also pay accordingly — for the space their goods take up and the transportation cost for the specific distance covered.
Because LTL combines cargo from several different customers to fill it up, it also means that shipment through this method will take longer to get to its destination. This is because it will have to make several stops to drop off its different shipments at their respective pick up points.
What is FTL Shipping?
FTL means the shipment will fill up the whole truck. FTL is the best shipping option for medium-sized or large business entities who ship large amounts of goods; those who want a dedicated truck even if their shipment is not necessarily large enough to take up the entire space of the truck; or those whose shipment are time-sensitive, delicate or high risk. FTL is usually more expensive than LTL. You can also choose to have expedited truckload shipping or refrigerated truckload shipping.
How do you decide when to use FTL or LTL?
Because of their significant cost difference, deciding whether to send your shipment via LTL or FTL requires careful consideration. Typically, your decision will depend on the following factors:
> How big your shipment is.
> How much your budget is.
> How fast you need your shipment delivered.
> How delicate your shipment is.
Generally, you should opt for FTL or a partial shipment when your shipment is large (weighs 10,000 pounds or more); fragile (perishable, high-risk, prone to damage); or needs to reach its destination quickly. With FTL, your shipment stays in the truck the entire time – from the time it's picked up until the time it's unloaded at its final destination. That means it's not only shipped faster, there's less risk for damage as well because of the minimal handling it goes through.

There, Here, Now is a new series of gouache paintings on paper at Hooks-Epstein Galleries, in Houston Texas. These works present a new kind of history painting. Reminiscent of imagery found in historical European art, these works examine signifiers of wealth, class and identity construction with a contemporary twist. Each image merges, juxtaposes and explores elements found in historical paintings with American pop-culture references to draw similarities between the two.
Symbols found There in the past, have managed to manifest themselves Here, and the ideologies of what it means to be successful are more prevalent Now.

The Death Penalty
by Gavin J. Grant
Wed 21 Jul 1999 - Filed under: Chuntering On, Free Stuff to Read | Leave a Comment
The death penalty is alive and well as Western calendars and Bill Gates' computers nervously approach the year 2000. In the US alone at least 490 people have been executed since 1976. But, no matter how much the practice of state mandated killing is debated, we need to abolish it now.
Many of us instinctively know it is wrong. There are no rationales or arguments to support it. Taking it as given that we don't want any killing in our society, it is wrong that we ask or order anyone to carry out the death penalty for us. Should we in turn execute the executioners?
Where does the death penalty fit into our culture? It has become a part of our increasingly punitive societies. Western countries such as the UK and the USA have recently been put under the microscope by groups such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. Much to the governments' embarrassment the findings were atrocious. The US has more people in prison than any other country, per 1000 population. In both countries the building and maintaining of prisons is seen as a growth industry. The number of people in prison in the USA has doubled in the past 15 years to 2,000,000. Sentences for consensual crimes and the associated confiscation's of property provide huge amounts of funding for the government. (Do you know that if the government finds drugs in your home that are more than what they consider personal use, they can seize all your assets?). Is there an incentive for the government to cut crime? No. Not while it provides economic growth, money and security for government employees. The death penalty is part of that fiscal and punitive climate.
Fiscal Reasoning: Reformation must begin at home.
The cost of the death penalty is variously estimated at $1-2 million per execution. This amount would cover the costs of imprisonment of an individual for between 30-60 years–long enough for almost all of us to die naturally in the state's ward–if that is what is wanted. The cash cost of the death penalty can be discounted as an argument for or against it, as the costs of imprisonment are about equal. Therefore there are no fiscal reasons for governments using the death penalty to cease. It is the strong moral stand against the death penalty that the US government is afraid to take.
Governments have generally shown little or no moral sense and cannot be expected to anytime soon; therefore it is the vocal individual and the financed lobbiers who will end the use of the death penalty.
Why is the death penalty used?
The death penalty is generally used in the 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' deterrent-style of justice. This is pre-Christian justice that in 'Christian' societies was supposed to be outmoded by the Ten Commandments. Despite separation of church and state and increased urbanization and complexity in society we have not yet managed to halt or seriously diminish the murder rate. We accept the tide of murder, rape and bodily harm as the cost of living in our wonderful modern world. And as a corollary we accept the use of murder by the state as an attempt to halt further murders.
The death penalty is a deterrent to one person only, the one who is murdered by the state. That it has never worked for anyone else is as obvious as the continuing occurrence of crimes that have the death penalty attached for the offenders.
A Humane Death
Since 1976, when the US Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was constitutional, it has been re-instated in a number of US states, provoking much discussion of methods. A recent hanging and the use of a firing squad caused uproar against 'barbarism.' Even the long fry of the electric chair is losing popularity; the quiet death of lethal injection is sweeping the other methods aside. The same humane method used on your aging pets. One place this method has yet to be popularized is China where the bodies of death penalty victims are harvested for organ transplants.
If state regulated murder is to continue I want to reverse this trend. I want blood, pain, barbarism. I want to make the squeamish throw-up. If this is too 'harsh' for us, then let us stop it, but rather than tiptoe through the legal barriers, crash on through. If we are to be killers, for I believe that by staying silent on this we all support it, then we should have full knowledge of what we are doing. I don't want to watch it on 'reality tv', I want to go to my local prison and witness it. I want it to be Paris in 1789. St. Andrews in Scotland when witches were burned on the beach. Rwanda. Cambodia. Kosovo where state-supported mass murder is happening right now as you read. New York State. It's murder and we have agreed to it.
Except in Massachusetts in 1998. Representative John Slattery changed his mind and voted against bringing the death penalty back. He was the swing vote and he couldn't have it on his conscience. I wrote and thanked him. Now letters are needed to the politicians in states where the death penalty is legal. They need to be told that we and they have blood on our hands and that we want it stopped. These politicians and their bloody-handed supporters are the ones applauding murder when death penalties are handed down, refusing final appeals, witnessing the murders.
I don't know what it will take to reduce the types of crime where presently we murder the criminal. Obviously the death penalty has not worked as a deterrent, as crime rates show. Perhaps more teachers? Money and respect for education? Individuals taking responsibility for their own actions (come on Bill C.)? Less gun manufacturers given licenses to produce weapons? Less arms trade within and without the country? I don't know. I do know that I don't want the blood of state-sponsored murder of my hands.

The battle line between the DC icons are drawn and in the latest round of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice TV promos and new poster, it's time to take a side. Will it be the Man of Steel or The Dark Knight scoring the victory?Yahoo! Movies unveiled the new poster, which has the two heroes standing head to head with the hashtag #WhoWillWin. There's the yes and no involved with this promo angle, since we know from the last revealing trailer that they will be shaking hands after the epic slugfest to take on Doomsday (with Wonder Woman as well).
So there's not as much to ultimately figure out except how much damage they will inflict upon each other until its time for the dawn of the Justice League. It's another case where some restraint in marketing would leave more to be revealed for the moviegoing experience. But who are we kidding? This isn't going to deter any moviegoers set to see this showdown.
The two new TV promos take specific sides. One focuses on why the obsessed Bruce Wayne wants to destroy Superman, while the other spot explains what the Man of Steel has against Batman.
Directed by Zack Snyder, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is set for March 25th, 2016 and stars Henry Cavill (Superman), Ben Affleck (Batman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Jeremy Irons (Alfred Pennyworth), Laurence Fishburne (Perry White), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Scoot McNairy and Holly Hunter (Senator Finch).

No 85 Swains Lane was built for Mr Meredith Hardy in 1980 and quickly found fame in the architecture annals, demonstrating a care free abandon by the decision to support the house on one central concrete pillar and to truss up the first floor as a cantilever, for no other reason than "for fun". This fun factor found favour with the architectural press with The Architectural Review deeming it front cover material.
Enjoying a spectacular position adjoining the grounds of Highgate Cemetery, the home offered magnificent views over London. Indeed Winter himself was so taken with the area that he had previously elected to build his own home on a site next door, the famous Cor-ten house.
Site restrictions, notably an older generation of the client's family who were in residence to the immediate north, and poor soil foundations, necessarily lent the house a low profile. The house was sadly demolished in 2008, to be replaced by a larger home designed by Eldridge Smeurin.
Winter remarks: "They did a good job building a very nice house, but it does seem wasteful of resources for a house to be demolished after less than thirty years."

Bangalore: If India is racked by tumults from its restful neighbours in the near future, blame it on the universe. This year, starting from July 7, the world will witness a rare celestial drama of a triple eclipse over a period of just one month. If history is any indication, this does not augur well for the world, say the authors of the book Will History Repeat Itself, brought out under the Bharat Gyan series. There could, however, also be positives to emerge like Kurukshetra's great lesson and the divine Gita message, say the authors.
July 7 will witness a lunar eclipse followed by a solar eclipse on July 22 and another lunar eclipse on August 6. Six more triple eclipses will occur over the next decade, point out DK Hari and Hema Hari, the authors. Basing their arguments on arche-historical-astronomical analysis, the authors say the three eclipses that occurred during the first recorded triple eclipse in 3067BC brought the Kuruskshetra war; the second in 3031BC submerged Krishna's Dwaraka and saw the internecine war of the Yadavas.
The Kuruskshetra war killed 47 lakh men and beasts in two weeks. And, it is believed that the war used nuclear-like weapons (even weapons so fearsome that they could kill a baby in the womb, while leaving the mother unharmed). The 20th Century eclipse series saw two world wars and the world's first and only nuclear attack. "It was a war of clans; of brothers -- India and Pakistan are like brothers. Could there be a parallel?" The authors wondered aloud at a media-briefing held in the city on Monday.
Triple eclipses are also linked to Biblical stories of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Pleading not to dismiss the celestial happenings as "exotic tales" Hari said the effect of the realignment of heavenly bodies are based on a scientific fact. "When the Earth is caught between the Sun and the Moon, a huge gravitational pull between the Sun and the planets affects the speed of the Earth's rotation. This, in turn, will affect the motion of tectonic plates that could fall out of sync with the Earth's rotational speed. Tremors are the result."
Commenting on the book, Art of Living founder, Sri Sri Ravishankar said man is powerless in the cosmic scheme of things, but his spirituality could save him from a cataclysmic impact. "The microcosm and macrocosm are interconnected. Nothing exists in isolation," he observed.

I don't think I've ever confessed this on this blog. What I'm about to say, I mean. I'm a popcorn fanatic. We always had it around when I was growing up and made it in, variously, an aluminum sauce pan, a cast iron frying pan, any of a number of curious electrical contraptions we found at the swap meet or regrettably, a hot air popper in the late 70's. We slathered it with melted Parkay and optional light Karo syrup. I've never lived in a house with a microwave in my life, but used to stink out the staff kitchens at certain jobs I've had with microwave popcorn.
Now in the Consolidation phase of the Dukan diet, I'm able to have carbohydrates (including polenta) twice a week and I reckon that popcorn is equivalent to polenta. They both start with 'po' and have seven letters. Both are made from maize (corn). Only difference I can see is that one involves grinding the kernels and the t'other heats them up until they explode.
I have a great Whirley-Pop corn popper in which I use my allotted teaspoon of oil to pop my corn in. It's a special high-temperature, low oil stove top contraption which stirs the kernels around, preventing them from burning. It makes a terrific racket and is nearly as much fun to make popcorn as to eat it. I use about 3 – 4 tablespoons of popcorn. I bought my last bag at Marks & Spencer by the way. I use to have to ferret it out in whole food shops, but it's slowly becoming more mainstream.
Normally, I'd melt plenty of President unsalted butter in the pan after the corn has popped. The stirring mechanism helps coat all of the kernels beautifully. Then sprinkle it with Maldon sea salt. At this point, I can go one of three ways. One, eat it as it is. Lovely. Two, drizzle it with Lyle's Golden Syrup (in a squeezy bottle (it's dang close to Golden Karo Syrup)). This is stickylicious and gives this Southern Gal that sweet-salty combo she just can't get enough of (think French toast with real maple syrup and streaky bacon). Or three, grate some fresh Parmigiano–Reggiano onto it and stir. Perhaps cook up some streaky bacon or pancetta and cut it into ¾" pieces and sprinkled on top. This is popcorn you would be served in a Tuscan version of Heaven.
But I'm on a very, very low fat diet so am not being liberal with butter. I tried adding freshly grated Parmigiano–Reggiano but it doesn't stick well without plenty o' butter. So, I ordered some American popcorn toppings from The Stateside Candy Company.
And had a popcorn topping tasting and review last week for dinner when Steve was away. I popped up a batch of corn and melted a couple of tablespoons of butter onto it. Just to give the toppings something to stick to. The manufacturers recommend spraying the popcorn with oil, but that's just plain weird. And popcorn just isn't right unless you get butter fingers!
Each was good in it's unique way. Here are the results:
Wabash Farm Buttery Jalapeño Popcorn Seasoning
Ochre with a nice spicy-heat flavour. A bit salty, but that's because I used salted butter. NB: Need to try this again w/ unsalted butter.
Kernel Season's White Cheddar Flavour Popcorn Seasoning
Elegant pale yellow colour. Good strong, but mellow and complex, cheese flavour with a lingering finish. Very sophisticated on the palate. Similiar to high quality packaged popcorn for grown-ups, eg Smartfoods White Cheddar Cheese Popcorn.
Gourmet Fries Seasoning Cheesy Cheddar
Scary bright orange colour. Strong, 'buttermilk' cheese flavour found in certain highly processed and junk foods, eg Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Tangy Cheese Doritos. Very good if you're after that 'never to be found in nature' cheese taste experience. Highly addictive, the 'crack cocaine' of the artificial cheese world. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper for chili cheese popcorn.
BTW, when I was looking for online cheese powder sources, I found this funny editorial in the Guardian: Cheese powder corrupts absolutely.
"What was this stuff? It was as if some evil genius had personally researched my tastebuds, rootled into my darkest psyche for forgotten guilty pleasures and tailored something to flick every switch. Sure, there's plenty of umami in there, plenty of salt and MSG – hell for all I know there's catnip and dandruff – but there was more, so much more. God, it was good.
Many foods can be improved by a sprinkling of cheese. Parmesan, with its high glutamate content is a natural flavour enhancer, a good cheesy gratin is still the only surefire way to render any vegetable palatable, and a decent sized slice of rattrap cheddar melted over most things will brighten them considerably, but this is a different league."
– Tim Hayward, 2011

Answered by Dr. Praveen Tayal 3 hours later
Brief Answer: Due to nerve compression or injury. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The inability to work with his arm and lift his fingers is due to a nerve injury or a nerve compression at the level of cervical spine or the axilla. This needs proper investigations like MRI scan and nerve conduction studies to identify the extent of damage he has suffered. most of the times such nerve injuries do recover spontaneously in 4-6 months given adequate rest. Please do not worry. Consulting a neurologist is essential for proper treatment. I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Praveen Tayal.

text: Focused action, personal discipline and a lot of energy every day is what took Dr Boitumelo Mudabuka to a new level in her career. Before she had a Bachelors degree in Chemistry. She came to The SCOAN and received the Morning Water. When she was in South Africa, a group of boys approached her to attack her and beat her up severely. When the boys ran off with her bag, she ministered the Morning Water on herself and prayed, "Lord, Jesus deliver me from these boys. Lord, Jesus help!" As they were running off, they dropped her bag. She later went for her exams at Rhodes University. She ministered the Morning Water in the name of Jesus Christ before doing the exam and the results were so good that they said that they had to protect her results. She graduated in 2014 and she is now a PhD holder in chemistry. She proudly showed her certificate stating that she is a Doctor Of Philosophy In Chemistry which she received at Rhodes University, South Africa. Within four months, she got a job with double her previous salary. It is a research job in natural resources and materials. She now has the ability to work anywhere in the world. People who knew her before, now marvel and say that indeed God loves her.

Pro-Tip #20
To minimize photo-smile double-chins, push your tongue against the back of your teeth while you smile. This tighten the neck muscles. For some people, it works better to push on the roof of the mouth. Try it in front of a mirror to see what works best.

As a nearly two-year resident of the island, I found it intriguing — in part because of the things that haven't changed.
The high-rises around the chapel on Main Street were already in place, giving the street its current canyon-like appearance. And there was even an ice-cream parlor in that vicinity, just like now. (The current shop only opened about a year ago, and I hadn't been aware that one existed before.)
In 1980, Roosevelt Island was seen as a family-friendly oasis, albeit a place with some of the general challenges of living in New York City. That's also just as true today.
|A view from Roosevelt Island today.
It does seem like the handicapped community has decreased since then. And the arrival of the Riverwalk and Octagon apartments has made the island more upscale. (Our own building, Manhattan Park, opened in 1989.)
|Manhattan Park, present day.
But Main Street seemed surprisingly bustling in 1980. The island's total population has grown considerably since then — even just in the past 10 years. So you wonder why it doesn't look more active now.

Yokohama Extends Hospitality To Convention Delegates
Yokohama has launched efforts focusing on offering hospitality to visitors to vie for world conventions and attract more people from around the world, the Yokohama Convention and Visitors Bureau said Oct. 14.
During the 12th Asian Congress of Nutrition held at PACIFICO Yokohama on May 14-18 with the theme of "Nutrition and Food for Longevity: For the Well-Being of All," citizens and suppliers in Yokohama provided meticulous services to some 3,800 convention delegates by offering numerous events on the sidelines of the conference to make sure they were satisfied with their stay at the Japanese port city.
Citizen volunteers were placed at the information desk of the conference venue to accommodate the participants' various needs such as information on restaurants, shopping and tourism.
"The ACN delegates were highly satisfied with services and hospitality provided by Yokohama City," said Teruo Miyazawa, chair of the organizing committee of the 12th ACN. "Especially, they were impressed with thoughtful services provided by those citizen volunteers at the information desk in the conference venue," he said.
Nissin Foods Holdings Co., a sponsor of the conference, offered free admission to Cupnoodles Museum, while Pacifico Yokohama and the Takashimaya Yokohama store conducted a tour of experiencing Japanese culture and tax free shopping.
The tour participants took advantage of a free shuttle service between PACIFICO Yokohama and the department store and experienced a "kimono" dressing workshop, "origami" paper folding, and the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Discount coupons for restaurants and tourist facilities were distributed as well.
Also, a special pipe organ concert was performed at the Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall for free of charge.
Since these hospitality services were favorably received by the convention delegates, the YCVB, together with local suppliers for conventions, will continue to provide quality hospitality to further enhance convention delegates' satisfaction in Yokohama.
A total of 3,769 delegates (1,149 from abroad) from 51 countries and regions participated in the ACN2015, which was conducted under the auspice of the Federation of Asian Nutrition Societies (FANS) and supported by the city of Yokohama. The quadrennial conference was held for the first time in Japan since it was held in Osaka in 1987.

It also reveals how the biographical context can enrich our understanding and appreciation of canonical authors. Thematically linked chapters trace the genre's development, define its primary characteristics, and illuminate its connections with fiction and portraiture. Further insights are gained by approaching literary biography from historical, comparative, inferential and autobiographical perspectives. Examples are drawn from the mainstream literary canon and include a variety of classical and contemporary authors ranging from Shakespeare, Dickens, Blake and Wordsworth to the Brontes, Hardy, Plath and Larkin. Biographical writers discussed feature both seminal figures such as Johnson, Boswell and Woolf to distinguished present-day biographers including Hermione Lee, Richard Holmes, Peter Ackroyd, Claire Tomalin and Michael Holroyd. Literary Biography: An Introduction offers an erudite and insightful introduction into the history, theory and practice of the increasingly popular literary genre of life-writing.
