Soldier Wounded in Iraq Killed In Tragic Accident At Darien Lake Amusement Park
A veteran of the United States Army age twenty nine was wounded by a roadside bomb in Iraq resulting in the lost of most of his right leg, lost his left leg and part of a hip, was killed Friday evening at Darien Lake Amusement Park near Buffalo, New York when he was ejected from a roller coaster. He was riding the Ride of Steel at an amusement park in upstate New York.
[ad#Google Adsense]
The roller coaster he was thrown from was a two hundred eight food tall ride. Sergeant James Thomas Hackemer had just returned to his parent's home after many years of rehabilitation.
At this time, the roller coaster is being inspected to see if there was any type of malfunction to cause this tragic accident. It has been reported that the ride operators did not even question or object to him riding the ride or if it was even safe for him to do so with his amputations. There are two other roller coaster rides at this same park that will not let anyone ride that does not have both their legs for safety reasons. On the ride that he was thrown from there is a bar is put across their legs to hold them in their seat.
On the park's website it does state that in order to ride the Ride of Steel that you had to be at least fifty four inches tall and that riders with "certain body proportions" may not be eligible to ride the tallest roller coaster in an amusement park that is east of the Mississippi River. This roller coaster can reach speeds in excess of seventy miles per hour.

I'm speechless.ReplyDelete
Okay, maybe I'm PMSing or something but this video brought tears to my eyes. The first part infuriated me quite a bit. All of the hurtful things that were said about the deaf. Waiting on the world to change indeed. Think it ever will?ReplyDelete

As the mother of a severely hard of hearing child, that video moved me to tears. Thanks for spreading the word.ReplyDelete
Such beauty.ReplyDelete
I have always loved watching signing. It's a main reason I went to school for speech therapy and audiology. To learn how to sign. There is a group of teenagers in town, I assume deaf, who sit in the coffee shop here and sign and laugh and sign and laugh and I can't step away when I see them.
It is such beauty.
Love this video. Will totally be sharing it with my FB community tomorrow!ReplyDelete
Okay, I know I'm late to the game but that was awsome.ReplyDelete
I took my youngest for a hearing test and learned he had a 25% hearing loss in both ears. I was actually a little sad to know that he just needs to get tubes in his ears again and his hearing will be fine.

Breaking the rules is GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ:GWPH), whose experimental medication Epidiolex, which may become the first cannabis-derived medication to win U.S. approval, found a backer in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday. An agency staff report regarding the British pharmaceutical company's experimental drug noted it had "substantial evidence" of effectiveness for hard-to-treat seizures in children. If approved, Epidiolex would be the first non-synthetic marijuana-derivative approved for medical use in the United States.
The drug is bred to have a high cannabidiol (CBD) content, according to company CEO Justin Gover. GW has purified the extract and given it a strawberry flavor to make it more palatable for children. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which gives marijuana its euphoric effect, CBD does cause a psychotropic high but is still considered by many, at least anecdotally, to aid with a number of ailments.
"Epidiolex, if approved, will mark a sea change in the acceptability of cannabinoids as therapy," Gover said, according to Bloomberg. GW Pharmaceuticals was up $11.17 per share, or 9.26 percent in early trading this morning, trading at $131.62 per share.
"I think it needs to be approved because everyone is using it across the internet without knowing the safety ... and no one is watching the interactions with other drugs," said Dr. Joan Conry of Children's National Health System in Washington, in an interview with the associated press.
Currently, the controversy over the legality of CBD has landed in front of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, where the Hemp Industries of America is challenging the Drug Enforcement Agency's recent ruling that the extract be classified as a Schedule I Drug. Oral arguments in that case were heard this past February.
The possible approval of Epidiolex brings more questions than answers when it comes to the legality of CBD and CBD oil. As lawyer and cannabis activist Rod Kight told PotNetwork in an interview earlier this year, in the past, the FDA has not been so open to the idea of CBD.
"The big question is, what happens when the FDA approves Epidiolex as a drug? Is that the point the FDA will say okay, well, now CBD is a restricted drug," Kight said earlier this year. "You can get it through Epidiolex if you're prescribed it, but you just can't use it to enrich other products or sell it over the counter for people to take, or will the FDA leave it alone? There's sort of some precedent for both views."
Other activists have made the point that with the drug's approval would nullify marijuana's classification as a Schedule I drug, which by definition, means it has no medical value.
A decision on whether or not to approve Epidiolex is expected to come by June 27. According to Bloomberg, the FDA will discuss the drug with advisors this Thursday.

|Muchiri, Anthony M.
|A Project Report Submitted to the School of Business in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Global Executive Masters in Business Administration (GeMBA)
|The main objective of this study was to identify opportunities, challenges and the role Kenya could play in the democratic political transition and economic reconstruction of Libya. The study was guided by the following research objectives: What are Kenya's strategic opportunities in the reconstruction of Libya?; What are the anticipated challenges for Kenya's participation in the reconstruction of Libya?; How should Kenya engage itself in the democratic political transition and economic reconstruction of Libya?. Descriptive research design was used in this study. The total population was estimated at 46 million and the sample size was 20 target key informants, 10 each from both Kenya and Libya respectively. The sampling frame was drawn from among government officials, businesspeople, members of the Diaspora and ordinary workers. Non probability (purposive) sampling technique where the researcher uses his own expert judgment to identify key informants was used. Both primary and secondary sources of data were utilized during the data collection stage. Primary data was obtained from key informant interviews while secondary data was sourced from publications from government, research institutions and intergovernmental institutions like the IMF and AfDB. The researcher also made his observations on developments and events in Libya, where the researcher is based, and Kenya. In doing the data analysis, the researcher assessed the information from documents and in-depth interviews and related them to the assumptions made before, in the literature review as well as during the data collection stage, in order to test their validity. The findings of this study established that the New Libya is strategic to Kenya's geo-political and economic interests. The end of the conflict in Libya has generated prospects for the reconstruction of a new Libya that offers myriad of opportunities both economically and politically. These may include greater cooperation in the fields of health, education, trade and possible bilateral and multilateral cooperation on various domains. More so, Kenya and Libya enjoy resource complimentality. However, the study revealed that currently there was very little going on in terms of economic activity between the two countries and these opportunities remain largely untapped. Little is known about Libya and Kenyan businesspeople and job seekers are pessimistic about opportunities in the country. As such, Libya represents a potential growth area where Kenya needs to pay more attention. The benefits of establishing the basis for a new mutually beneficial relationship with the New Libya, away from the largely superficial model of Gaddafi, cannot be overemphasized. While opportunities exist, Libya remains a difficult place for business and investment. Insecurity remains the biggest challenge to Kenya's entry into Libya. The government in Tripoli is weak and the country is virtually controlled by unruly militia groups. There are also many obstacles including rigid residence and work permits regulations, bureaucratic red-tape and challenges related to regulatory systems. Libya is not a member of the WTO and as such not fully integrated into the global trading system. The findings appeared to contradict general perceptions in Africa, including Kenya, that Libya is hostile to doing business with African countries and to black people. This view was negated by Libya's continued participation in continental global and regional bodies like the AU and CENSAD, the ever increasing number of black African migrants in Libya and the retention of Libyan investments in African capitals. Whereas sections of the Libyan people are hostile to Africa, this should in no way misconstrued to be the official position of the government or the majority of the people of Libya.Both bilateral and multilateral strategies are available to Kenya in order to fully engage itself with the political transition and reconstruction of Libya. The Kenya Embassy in Tripoli is crucial in coordinating bilateral strategies like the holding of the inaugural session of the Joint Commission for Cooperation and facilitating the full implementation of various existing agreements. The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) was identified as a valuable partner in the multilateral arena to coordinate Kenya's provision of technical support to Libyan authorities during the reconstruction period. Libya was found to be inactive in COMESA and as such provides little in terms of opportunities for economic integration. Of utmost urgency, the study recommended a political reengagement with Libya at the highest possible level in order to smoothen the way for an economic partnership. This should involve a visit by the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs in the very near future to lay the ground for a State Visit at a later date. The Government of Kenya should focus attention in developing a structured and detailed programme aimed at sensitizing Kenyan businesses and business umbrella groups on the need to engage with this economy so as to change perceptions about Libya as a low key market for Kenya. The Kenya Embassy in Libya should also step up its promotional campaign. The study also recommended for a comprehensive market survey on the Libyan market aimed at revealing issues touching on market access requirements for potential products, including tariff and non-tariff barriers, consumer preference, packaging & labeling requirements and suitable distribution channels

Barney's New York has opened their latest department store in Downtown New York. Making it the second department store in downtown New York (the other is Bloomingdales in SOHO). The store situated in Chelsea on 7th Avenue (between 16th and 18th St) is actually the very block where the company first started in 1923.
" The fact that Barney's is returning to its original home means that we're keeping a piece of the original DNA of the brand but also taking our history and modernising it" say's Barney's COO Daniella Vitale.
The store is absolutely stunning – just look at the pictures below. It's a 58,000 square foot space, that spans 5 floors
There's been a renovation run of late with the Department Store set in NYC. Macy's, the most recent to finish their renovations in their flagship location in Midtown; while Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue are currently undertaking a bit of a facelift. After spending a couple of weeks in January there, it seems that the last to renovate really is the 'winner'. Once a store has finished renovating it puts a large gap between them and the rest of the market.
Of their recent move, Barney's downtown architect Steven Harris says 'The store is completely unique compared to any other store downtown. It's subtle but inordinately luxurious'. The store features 'Blind Barber' a dedicated place for men's grooming – shaving, haircuts; and Fred's restaurant (also in their Madison Avenue location).

The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage – the second edition Troy Book's series of classic grimoires, was translated into English by Occultist S. L. Mac Gregor Mathers from a French document in 1897. Whilst the text purports to be of 15th century origin, the earliest known versions of the manuscript, which are in German, date to the 17th and 18th centuries.
The text tells the story of how 'Abraham of Worms' encountered an Egyptian mage named Abramelin, from whom Abraham received the secrets of a powerful Kabbalistic magical system. It is this system and its secrets we read of as Abraham passes his knowledge to his son Lamech.
The system revealed within the text consists of lengthy and elaborate rites and preparatory practices, in order to gain the 'knowledge and conversation' of one's 'guardian angel' via whom magical secrets will be revealed unto the practitioner.
Via evocations of the twelve Kings and Dukes of Hell, the practitioner will obtain a number of familiar spirits of aid to the operative magic encountered within the 'third book' of this text.
As head of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn at the time, Mathers' The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage became very import and influential to the pactices of the order, via which it was to have a profound influence upon the practices of Aleister Crowley.
The operative magic of the book, which like the operative content of other popular grimoires became incorporated into folk-magical practices, is centered around 242 magic word square talismans. Via the use of these squares the practitioner may gain an array of powers, many of which are those sought after within the folk-magical and cunning arts, such as knowing the past and the future, the conjuration of various spirits and visions, weather magic, to gain treasures and wealth, to cure various maladies, to excite love or hatred, to discover thefts and to open locks. More dramatic powers may be granted by the squares and include the ability to fly or walk beneath the water, to revive dead bodies unto life, to transform men into beasts and beasts into men, to become invisible and to raise magical armies.
Important information for previous purchasers of the Classic Grimoire series.
A potential issue with the colour of cover material used for this series has been brought to our attention by our suppliers. It is possible that the aubergine colour we have used could in the future be dropped from the range as its not unknown for the manufacturer to do this.
As it is our intention to build this series into a collection of thirteen classic grimoires, a matching cover colour throughout the series is naturally desirable. We have therefor taken the pre-emptive decision to change the cover and end paper colour to black in the knowledge that this will never be discontinued.
Customers who have previously purchased one or both of our current grimoires, with a view to collecting more of the series, are invited to let us know when making their next purchase in the series. Troy Books will be happy to replace their existing aubergine coloured copies with the new black binding free of charge with their next Classic Grimoire order.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, but we feel it is best to take this step now to ensure continuity in the coming years.
If you would like to take up us this offer, please contact us for details when purchasing another book in the series.

Paperback Edition: matt laminate cover.
Hardback Edition: a black case binding with copper foil blocking to the front and spine, hunter green endpapers, with green and black head and tail bands.

From exit polls, it appears the voters 18-29 again went predominantly for President Obama, although by not as big a margin as they did in 2008. It has been said that when you're young if you are not a Liberal, you have no heart, but if when you're old you're still a Liberal, you have no head. It has been common for young adults to vote primarily Democratic. The left-leaning college environment where every department except for business is staffed primarily by Liberal professors is certainly also a factor.
Young voters may want to reexamine, however, whether voting for expanding government and more government "freebies" is really in their best interest. Remember that the government does not have any money. Anything they provide is paid for through taxes, and while high income earners may pay more individually, there just isn't enough high income earners to pay for everything. Most of the time it is the middle-class tax payers who pay for the majority of things. The question is whether you really want to give you money to the government and then do what they require you to do to get your money back.
The most critical issue is the national debt and the deficit. By the time that George Bush left office, we had a national debt of about $12 Trillion. That debt has grown by another $4 Trillion under President Obama, and now sits at $16 Trillion. Given another term, the debt is expected to grow by at least another $4T, and may grow by as much as $8 T as Obamacare kicks in. If the debt gets up to about $20 Trillion, it will roughly equal the entire GDP of the nation. This means that everything produced by the nation over a year will not be enough to pay off the debt. The interest payments on the debt will become so burdensome that they will start to approach the levels of the entire Defense budget. With such a huge debt burden, it will be difficult for the government to pay for anything else – you will be paying for yesterday's roads and schools and state dinners and not have any money to pay for tomorrows roads and schools. This means that you will be paying your taxes but be getting little for them. Get ready to pay again for roads, national parks, and schools out of your pocket after you pay taxes.
Obamacare is also not advantageous for the young. You will probably rarely need to go to the doctor before you are in your late forties or fifties. I doubt that most people in their twenties and thirties spend more than a couple of hundred dollars per year for medical services. The best healthcare plan for you would be to put savings into a medical savings account and then build up a big balance for when you start to need healthcare. A major medical policy could be had for maybe a couple of thousand dollars per year that would cover the odd appendicitis or other unlikely hospitalization cost. With Obamacare, however, you will be spending ten thousand dollars a year or more on insurance no matter what since you will be paying for the healthcare of older individuals, and then need to hope that those who come after you will pick up your healthcare. This will make it almost impossible for you to save up money yourself, meaning that you will need to take whatever the government provides.
The Democratic Party also likes to say that they are for the working person, and you may consider yourself a working person. The trouble is that by the "working person," they typically mean the unions. When you are a member of a union, seniority means everything. Most unions will gladly accept layoffs before they accept cuts to benefits. Because the most junior people are laid off first, this means that the young are the most likely to lose their jobs. While it is great to be in a union if you are the senior person, the low man on the totem pole gets the worst shifts, gets laid off first, and gets rehired last. Also, because wages and benefits are higher, companies are usually not able to hire as many people.
So maybe you'll start your own company. As you know, the Democratic Party is big on regulations. While this may sound great, since we all want to be protected and have clean food, many regulations are put in place by existing companies to prevent other people from entering their markets. For example, recently a regulation was passed that everyone doing contractor work was required to have special lead paint remediation training. While a big company can afford to send all of their employees for special lead paint removal certification classes, it is now very difficult for someone to start a contracting business since they don't typically have the money for this type of certification. As another example, there are regulations in some states that require hair stylists to take large numbers of classes and pay expensive fees for certifications. Existing stylists were exempted. This regulation keeps new people from entering the field.
Finally, efforts to privatize Social Security and Medicare have been successfully thwarted by the Democrats. There is a huge number of individuals who are starting to retire and withdraw Social Security and Medicare benefits. It is expected that these benefits, especially Medicare, will soon require funding in the tens of trillions of dollars. Given that the voting block that will be receiving these benefits will greatly outnumber the number of younger, working voters, it is likely that you will see much higher taxes to pay for these benefits and not be able to do anything about it. If Social Security and Medicare had been privatized and some of these individuals had been able to start to put some of their funds into private accounts, it would have lessened the amount that you will need to pick up in the future. Note that the chances of anyone under fifty receiving any benefits from these programs is very low since they are expected to go bankrupt long before young people are eligible to receive benefits.
So, you are voting to rack up the debt further, pay huge amounts for other people's healthcare, expand union power so that you will be the first ones to get laid off and the last ones rehired if you can find any jobs, create regulations that will keep you from starting a business, and become slaves to the elderly to fund their retirement and medical expenses. Worst of all, you are voting to pay so much of your earnings in taxes (if you are able to get a job) that you will never have anything left over to save and invest for yourself. Why exactly does this sound like a good idea to you?

Jonathan Scott Holloway: Sincere Fictions, Real Horrors, and the Tourism Trade
Goree Island is not the only site of slave trade remembrance on the African coast. Further south, in Ghana, there are two prominent warehouses, most often referred to as the slave castles at Cape Coast and Elmina, that are part of a thriving tourism trade catering mainly to black American travelers, many of whom are on roots journeys to "return home." Just as Post reporter Fisher is right for asking critical questions related to Obama's photo op at Goree Island, we can profit from asking challenging questions about a tourist trade that offers an uncomplicated reconciliation and welcome home at the same time that it traffics in horror.

New gun range clears first hurdle
By Neal A. Shipman
Farmer Editor
After a court injunction closed the Badlands Shooting Club's gun range north of Watford City in October of 2014, the club set its sights on finding a new home. But the search for an appropriate piece of land that was not only convenient to Watford City, but that would also not pose any threats to nearby neighbors proved to be a problem.
But fortunately for the club, last spring Brooks Kummer offered the club a long-term lease on property he owned southeast of Watford City. And the club jumped on the opportunity.
The only problem was that in order for the Badlands Shooting Club to move forward with their plans to create a new shooting range, they needed to get approval from the county commissioners.
And last Monday, the McKenzie County Planning and Zoning Board gave its blessing to the creation of a Firearms Facility Overlay District after asking for a couple of tweaks in the language.
"The commissioners had questions earlier about the district," stated Jim Talbert, McKenzie County Planning and Zoning director. "Everyone wants to see this happen. But we need to change the zoning ordinance so they (the gun club) can make an application.

First Quarter Finances Show Strong Action Plan Working
McGuinty Government On Track to Eliminate Deficit
Ontario is on track to meet the projected $14.8-billion deficit in 2012-13 as outlined in the fiscal update released on April 25, 2012.
Today, the 2012-13 First Quarter Finances were released showing:
- Revenue outlook, at $112,587 million -- $14.3 million above the amount forecast in the April update.
- Expense outlook, at $126,407 million -- $14.3 million higher than forecast in the April update.
The government will continue to monitor economic and revenue performance and will provide further details in future fiscal updates.
The McGuinty government remains committed to managing growth in spending and eliminating the deficit by 2017-18 in order to preserve the long-term sustainability of services that Ontarians rely on, such as health care and education.
Quick Facts
- The Ontario Quarterly Finances contains updated information about Ontario's fiscal outlook for the current fiscal year, including updated information about the major components of the revenues and expenses as set out in the fiscal plan. As required by the Fiscal Transparency and Accountability Act, the First Quarter Ontario Finances is released on or before August 15.
- Further details on the province's fiscal plan, including final results for 2011-12, will be provided in future fiscal updates.
Additional Resources
"Although the Ontario economy continues to see moderate growth following the global economic recession, significant risks to the economic growth outlook persist, including the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and slower global economic growth. Eliminating the deficit remains the single most important thing the government can do to support sustained, strong growth of Ontario's economy. That's why the McGuinty government remains committed to prudently managing the province's finances."

The two covers I bought for my Ektorp Tullsta chairs arrived this week and I couldn't be more pleased with them. They are a beautiful bright blue (Palermo Indigo) and are great quality. My old covers were a real pain to put on they were very tight. The Cover Couch ones was easy to put on. They are a great fit. I'm really delighted with them.

Man Rescued From Mud With Parrot Perched On His Shoulders
When this man tried to rescue his beloved pet parrot, he became the one who needed to be rescued, and his faithful parrot never left his shoulder.
United States Firefighters had to rescue a southwestern Illinois man from deep mud after he became stuck while trying to reach his pet parrot.
Belleville firefighters were called Sunday afternoon to the city's Bicentennial Park after a visitor heard the man calling for help.
Fire Chief Tom Pour told the Belleville News-Democrat the mud from the lake being dredged was like quicksand.
The man was in mud up to his waist when crews arrived. Video shows that firefighters had to extend ladders across the mud to help him out -- as the parrot remained perched on his shoulders.
Neither man nor bird was injured.
Pour says the man often rides a bike around with the parrot on his shoulder.

After endless assignments, projects, paper submission and wedding preparation, eventually I have a time to write this update (Thanks, God!). From my previous post, readers would already know that for this H1 2017 I have two part-time jobs and two master coursework. I have not done such thing before so initially it seems so overwhelming.
So, ADSC internship turned out not so related with what I have expected. The project they are doing is more related to ICS (Industrial Control Systems), which I think to be more appropriate for electrical engineer instead of software engineer. There was not much coding involved. Basically, my main work during H1 2017 consisted of literature survey, developing attack model and solution requirement, setting VMs for simulation and deployed them into cloud environment (Google Cloud and Amazon AWS). However, I cannot complain because it is just part-time position. They have given me decent allowance (around S$700 dollar per month during study period and S$1,800 dollar per month during summer) and it greatly helped me to finance my wedding.
The sad thing is that most likely I cannot continue my internship into full-time position there. Until now, there is no confirmation on the project funding. Throughout 2-3 months of my internship there, there are around 8-9 full time staffs who resigned and they did not get any replacement. That included my teammate under the same project, who cannot find the job in Singapore and he need to move to Thailand (He got the job in Agoda). Another colleague has a financial issue because his child was not accepted into Singapore public school (Private school is quite expensive in Singapore – it will cost around S$1,000-1,500) and he and his family eventually relocated to Australia.
In the end, my supervisor and me submitted one paper for IEEE SmartGridComm. We will know the result in mid-July if the paper is accepted.
For my job in Hiend, luckily there was not much issues. Admittedly, my manager told me to do UAT or PROD deployment at the same time as NUS assignment deadline and it is really tiring to go to three or four places at the same day (ADSC office in Fusionopolis, Hiend office in Tai Seng, NEA in Newton, and NUS SoC for meeting with my group mates). I am supposed to have one project with Ministry of Education which need to be done. However, due to unavailable schedule, I need to postpone it after exam period.
One interesting thing is that when this project is signed I am in dire need of cash because of my wedding's vendor payment. I am not expecting pay cut last year and I also underestimate my wedding cost. Hence, I requested my manager to give me the cash bonus first because the project has already signed-off and confirmed. Usually, I am only able to get my bonus after completion of the project. But, surprisingly, my request was granted and I am thanking God for that =D.
For my NUS coursework, I took two modules this semester – Wireless Networking and Advanced Operating Systems.
I took Wireless Networking because ADSC also has IoT project, which I am interested to do. The substantial portion of module content is related to hardware and physics. Some physical formula involved such as radio signal strength and energy capacity. I never have to deal with such thing before as computer science so it is some learning curve for me. Then, this module also has tutorial which need to be done and your attendance is part of assessment. The tutorial is done during working hour as this is undergraduate course. Hence, it is quite challenging for me and I never have a time to even take a look at the tutorial.
Furthermore, I need to deal with some teammates which seems do not have much appetite or time to do assignment properly. From my estimation, I need to do around 70-80% of the assignment and even then one of them cannot finish their part. One of them lied to say he has finished his part (data collection for Wi-Fi fingerprint at assigned public place) but the night before deadline he said he has not done it, because when he reached the place, he was running out of battery and did not bring any charger. During discussion, he also never present and even for presentation although I already told them the time and venue. Eventually, we have no choice but to report him to our lecturer (He actually asked us where is our teammate and we said that he is not contactable).
For another course (Advanced Operating Systems), I found it more beneficial as I learned about kernel and driver programming. Most of the time, we always coded at the surface layer using Java or C# and hence it is quite interesting experience for me. But last part of the module is very challenging because we are given research project (20% of the grade) and also driver development project (also 20% of the grade) and the deadline are quite similar.
Hence, I need to do a trick to complete those assignments on-time. The research project gave us option to find topics on either distributed operating systems, mobile operating systems and NFS (Network File Systems). Because I have done research project on static analysis of obfuscated code in Android platform for another module last semester and I got really good result (A+), I simply rephrased existing report and added some new contents inside (elaborate on dynamic analyzer). It saved me a lot of time. Otherwise, I may not able to get good result for this. Eventually, I still got A grade for this module =D. (Sometime you just need a bit of luck in life to have success…)
I will continue with part 2 sometime later

text: At a little corner of Alfama (Freguesia de S. Vicente, ao Castelo) between the Portas do Sol and Graça Viewpoints there was a meeting place for the neighborhood's oldest residents. The men used to sit on this small terrace to simply chat, play cards and watch the trams and the world go by. There was no official name for the terrace but younger locals jokingly referred to it as "Jardim das Pichas Murchas" "the Garden of Limp Dicks". Everyone came to know it by that vulgar name and after some debate it actually became official as seen on the sign placed above it in 1992. Probably one of the most photographed corners of Lisbon! :)

and almost done with this one… added some birds…
Hello Everyone! So! Here it's my 4 wips for the contest. I don't have much more, because i rushed the drawing in 2 night! I know that i'm not as strong as the other participants, but i hope i stil lhave a chance to win! https://miloriia.cgsociety.org/arrc/cyber-sylvia This is the link to my Artwork because i'm a new user and I can't post all my wip wthout being restricted. I also join my reference panel to this reply!
This was a really great experience, and i'm happy that i participated. Thank you.
Well, to be fair, this extensions is pretty common and happens very frequently in this type of challenges. Still, week is a pretty sweet spot: it's not really enough to make a work from scratch, but would be beneficial for those, who lag few days. As we can see it this thread, it allowed to some participants not to abandon their works halfway through, but actually finish them.
So I don't think there's a much of drama in this decision. Of course it would be better if final date was really final, because even with a shifted one someone certainly wouldn't have enough time to make it, but it's not a really big deal in the end of the day, imo.
This is a skill based competition by expending the deadline you are giving other contestants who didn't get their work finished by the deadline an unfair advantage. A week is a long time. Long enough for someone to swoop in and claim victory.
Now I don't want it to seem like I'm saying this because I thought I was going to win. Before the deadline extension there were already some amazing entries that I think should be the winners and I was not one of them.
I just believe that this is not a great thing to do. You'd never see another skills based competition do it because it's unfair to its competitors. If it was a random winner, I wouldn't care. But navigating deadlines is part of a competition, it's part of life. If you cant do that then I'm sorry but that's how it should be. Especially when there was already so many members who had pushed themselves and completed their artworks by the deadline. If anyone who didn't complete their work before the original deadline wins then that is incredibly unfair on those who did get it done on time. The extension greatly benefits those who haven't completed their work over those who did.
You even say so yourself.
As I mentioned above myself and 3 other members get 0 benefit from this extension because we don't have the luxury of time to jump back into our submissions, due to other life commitments.
I'm not trying to change the outcome or overrule the decision, I'm merely trying make the hosts of the competition more aware of their actions and the consequences.
It seems like you used the Sims as your character base? That's pretty smart thinking. When you have the time I would recommend though that you look into a program like daz3D. It'll give you a lot more options and be much more useful for you long term, than what you could get using a games character creator.
I agree with all your points except this one, because there's a bunch of examples:
It's unfortunately, but it happens all the time.
Okay so I'll admit I didn't know this. I guess when I was saying that I was referring to the other major art platform that host competitions. I guess it does happen but I don't agree with it and think it's unfair to participants.
Heres an up date. I had a power outage where I'm at. currently in the caribbean. three days of not being able to scan this and finally get to work. well I have one day now to get this to look any good.
Thank everyone for the feedback and comments

QUICK POST: I was not out there to witness it myself, but the Gyrfalcon continues in Ulster County. It was relocated in the same area as yesterday early this afternoon and apparently many birders (100+?) were present to see the bird. Does this mean the bird might stick around for a while? We shall see…either way, it's very exciting and congrats to all who got to see the bird!

More than half of newly diagnosed fibromyalgia patients were prescribed opioids and not a guideline medication, according to data presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting.
Researchers retrospectively studied the medical and pharmacy records from 96,175 patients who had made two or more medical claims with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia (FM) between January 2008 and February 2009. The date of first diagnosis was deemed the index date, and the date of the first medication was considered the treatment date.
All patients had 6 months of pre-index and 12 months of post-index continuous enrollment, no pre-index FM diagnosis and one or more pharmacy claim for an FM guideline medication, which included pregabalin, gabapentin, duloxetine, milnacipran, amitriptyline or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors/serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. The study's principal outcomes were indicators that identified patients who filled one or more FM guideline prescription or opioid within a 3-month interval of the 12-month post-index period.
Opioids were prescribed to 56% of patients on the first treatment date, 17% of which were tramadol. Forty-four percent of patients received an FM guideline prescription.
Opioids or opioids with a guideline medication were prescribed to 55% of the patients in the first quarter after diagnosis, but the percentage declined over time, according to the researchers.
More than 20% of patients were treated with only opioids during each quarter studied, and 18% were prescribed an opioid in addition to a FM guideline medication. – by Shirley Pulawski

By Joe Eskenazi : sfweekly – excerpt
City dwellers residing in the vicinity of Franklin and Turk streets can be forgiven for peering out their windows and experiencing a sense of déjà vu. City crews recently tore up and rebuilt the sidewalk roughly a year after tearing up and rebuilding the sidewalk and just over two years after tearing up and rebuilding the sidewalk…
The most recent work was the installation of a pedestrian bulb, an extension of the sidewalk into the parking lane, shortening the distance required for pedestrians to cross the street.
That's well and good — but area residents couldn't help but notice that the new bulb required the obliteration and reinstallation of a wheelchair access ramp installed in 2012, as well as the replacement of a sidewalk itself replaced in late 2013 for electrical traffic signal work.
Bulbs are the city's new favorite method of ensuring pedestrian safety. Department of Public Works spokeswoman Rachel Gordon says to expect many more streets to be upgraded with one. These upgrades will supersede prior upgrades — even ones undertaken mere months ago.
You can't put a price on safety. But you can put one on a pedestrian bulb — $30,000, in this case… (more)
Not only are these projects redundant, but one needs to consider that concrete is comprised of 30% water.
The city that expects residents to cut back should put some of these unnecessary projects on hold.

Letter: Sales tax on feminine hygiene products should be eliminated
In the special session that the Indiana State legislature just finished they needed to pass legislation eliminating the sales tax on feminine hygiene products (tampons, etc) and diapers!
This sales tax is discriminatory and places a greater burden upon women; especially single mothers with limited income.
It surely will be eliminated in the session after the November election if we elected enough women to the state general assembly!

The culture of your workplace is one of your most valuable recruitment and retention tools. It is so valuable, in fact, that many top performers will pass on a bigger paycheck from an employer with a lackluster or negative culture in favor of a place with a more supportive and welcoming culture but less compensation. Fortunately, culture isn't something that just happens – you have the power to shape it accordingly. Develop a corporate culture that no one will want to leave with these tips.
Communicate the Purpose
Organizations with positive cultures have their unique factors but tend to share a common foundation: their employees feel like their work has meaning. It can be disheartening for employees to feel like their work doesn't really matter. Cultivate a positive corporate culture by communicating the organizational mission and the underlying purpose of your employees' contributions. Simply acknowledging the importance of each specific employee's role in the bigger picture can help them realize their work has strong value.
Support Challenges and Risk-Taking
A corporate culture doesn't have to outright negative for employees to still want to leave it – they may opt to leave simply out of boredom. Avoid losing top performers out of complacency by supporting them challenging themselves with higher level tasks. This may stretch their skills and there could be times in which the outcome isn't as well-executed as the tasks they've perfectly honed, so it's essential to communicate that taking risks is not only acceptable, but to be encouraged.
Encourage Socializing
Activities that boost productivity may not always appear that way on the surface – in fact, if your corporate culture takes a hard stance on "frivolous" conversations between colleagues during work hours, shutting down personal interactions could actually backfire. Small talk and other socializing, if kept to a level that doesn't prevent work from being completed in a timely manner, can be beneficial. These personal interactions are what helps your employees develop relationships that make them work more effectively as a team and increases their overall job satisfaction. You can encourage socializing by opening meetings with time for some small talk or planning team lunches or other activities.
Protect Against Burnout
A lack of work-life balance results in employees becoming overworked, not being able to recharge, and then just becoming burnt out over time. Unfortunately, many corporate cultures don't make employees feel comfortable taking time off for paid vacation, whether it's being seen as not being a hard worker or committed to the organization, being contacted about work while they're away, or not having coverage so when they come back, they're so overworked they regret leaving. If you want to develop a corporate culture that employees will not want to leave, protect against burnout by encouraging time off, and supporting their workload coverage so they can take a break without worry.

How to Have General Automotive Repair
In today's modern society that we are in, having a car is not just a luxury but actually a necessity already. During these times having a car to drive around is not just the privilege of the rich anymore. Actually even someone as young as a college student with enough savings can choose to buy a car if he chooses to do so. But of course they often won't be able to afford a new car but a second hand one only. But even if it is just a second-hand car that still does not remove the joy that they get from having their own car to drive around.
The reason why many people like to have a car of their own is because of the many things that can be done with the use of it. One of the car's most popular use for people who own one is to do errands using it. If you happen to have a family of your own then you will be needing to do more errands with it. Using a car makes the accomplishing of all these tasks much easier. Another important thing that you can do with it is that you can go on a fun out of town trip with the use of it.
However our cars will not be in perfect condition all the time. You may find then that some parts of it need to be repaired in order for it to function optimally again. How are you going to handle this situation then? Well in this situation it is certainly best that you hire an expert to be able to do the repair of your car for you.
There are different options for you when it comes to being able to find such an expert on car repair. One such way by which you can have your car repaired is to ask a referral from the people that you know who also have cars on their own. Most probably if they have had a car for a long time they know of a good mechanic that they regularly go to for their general automotive repair. If you trust the judgment of someone who gave you the referral then the higher the probability that you will get great service from the one referred to you.
The next thing that you can do is to look for car repair shops near you. If you live in Raleigh it will not be hard for you to find there a Raleigh general automotive repair shop. What you can do is just use the internet to look for information about them. Keep in mind that it is important to look for reviews first on them before choosing one.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WIBW) - Another violent incident involving former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has emerged.
This time, it happened in Kansas City. According to a Kansas City, Missouri, Police report, Hunt was linked to an assault that happened at Mosaic Ultra Lounge in the Power & Light District.
On January 7, at about 2 a.m., police say the victim was approaching the bathroom when he noticed a friend being shoved by three suspects. One of those suspects, according to the report, was identified as another former Chief: George Atkinson.
The report states the victim confronted Atkinson, who then punched him in the left shoulder. Police say the victim responded with a punch, causing suspects to jump him. The victim described being hit in the body and head multiple times with kicks, some of which came from Hunt.
According to police, the victim was unconscious for a period before being escorted out of Mosaic. He went to a North Kansas City hospital to be treated for a broken rib, broken nose as well as multiple bruises.
Police said the victim didn't want to initially report the incident, but his father and relatives convinced him to change his mind.
This is the third violent incident involving Hunt to emerge. There was the February assault of a women seen in the video obtained by TMZ and an alleged incident where Hunt was accused of punching a man at an Ohio resort in June.
Hunt cleared waivers on Monday after being released by the Chiefs. He is now a free agent, but still on the Commissioner's Exempt List. That means he can't play while the NFL investigates his February and June incidents.

It is time for my summer holiday, and I am going to LA for a long weekend to stay with a friend.
My travel rules for vacations:
Bring nothing, buy everything.
This amazing Patagonia luggage can have nothing or everything inside its magical compartments. It also has backpack straps.
I did bring my running shoes so I can hike up that hill that celebrities get their photos taken on.
Although it appears you can do it in clogs.
But I also plan on utilizing my time in Silverlake and taking this class:
A few other plans: try to buy this week's US Weekly and last week's in the airport, buy all the expensive airport food and don't worry about it, put about a half lb. of duty-free designer hand lotion on my legs.
In LA, I plan on eating every taco in every food truck that GOOP suggested.
Finally, my travel outfit.
I did it. I bought Birkenstocks. It is actually your fault and not mine. No one gave me enough points for not buying them, so I decided to go all in and get the loudest color available.

Purple potatoes can prevent spread of colon cancer
In a breakthrough discovery, researchers claim that purple potatoes can prevent the spread of colon cancer and terminate its stem cells.
In a breakthrough discovery, researchers claim that purple potatoes can prevent the spread of colon cancer and terminate its stem cells.
According to Jairam K.P. Vanamala of the Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute, attacking stem cells was an effective way to counter cancer.
In the study, the researchers found that the baked potato extract suppressed the spread of colon cancer stem cells while increasing their deaths.
Researchers then tested the effect of whole baked purple potatoes on mice with colon cancer and found similar results.
The portion size for a human would be about the same as eating a medium size purple-fleshed potato for lunch and dinner, or one large purple-fleshed potato per day.
According to the researchers, there might be several substances in purple potatoes that work simultaneously on multiple pathways to help kill the colon cancer stem cells, including anthocyanins and chlorogenic acid, and resistant starch.
Vanamala said that the butyric acid regulated immune function in the gut, suppressed chronic inflammation and might also help to cause cancer cells to self-destruct.
He suggested that purple potatoes could be potentially used in both primary and secondary prevention strategies for cancer.
The study is published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry.

SECRET SHOPPING ON THE WAY TO THE STATE'S HOUSE | Business
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The Missouri Attorney General is suing Walgreen's in yet another case alleging overcharging by the chain. In the past few years, CVS has been the object of similar litigation, multiple times as well. Both companies have a presence in the Commonwealth; the latter seems almost ubiquitous. So why hasn't Ken Cuccinelli investigated this consumer issue?
I have personally found discrepancies between the shelf sticker and the receipt price many times, around fifty cents per item, in almost every department, at CVS. I have spoken to the manager at the location that I patronize most in Alexandria about it, and been told that there is not enough staff to keep up with the computerized changes from corporate, although with all that extra, ill gotten money, you would think it would cover the salary of at least one more minimum wage employee. Yes, I've gone the refund route, but that process is annoying and time consuming, and the displeasure at issuing more than one or two to the same customer is palpable.
Since our Attorney General claimed he was financially unable to give back the value of the gifts in kind he received from Star Scientific, I suspect he is not unfamiliar with shopping at either of these two drugstores. Why he failed to jump on the "waste, fraud and abuse" bandwagon like so many other ambitious "Almost Governor"s who know that the path to the state's House is best paved with tackling issues near and dear to potential voters' pocketbooks, is baffling, particularly in the difficult economic times that straddled his tenure. Equally puzzling is that the issues he continues to highlight are the socially and geographically polarizing ones that create a dichotomy between the right to life and the right to personal choice, such as medical insurance and "women," and not those with more universal appeal to the commonweal.
There are two months left in this campaign which so far has drawn plenty of apathy and rising poll approval for the Democratic contestant primarily because of the Republican's "guilt by association." One of these scandal ridden guys needs to begin talking about what he can do for Virginians, not what Virginians can do for him. Secret shopping pharmacies is simple, and might be a good place to start...hint, hint.

Of course. An Imam who worked at a Texas Mosque has been forced to resign his position because he has come out in support of Trump's temporary ban on Muslim immigrants into America:
KFDM – A political conflict is playing out within the walls of the Muslim community in Southeast Texas. A man who was the leader of Muslims in the area said Thursday the conflict has resulted in his ousting.
"Don't get me involved in any political games in the name of religion. I am not here a political man," Dr. Nidal Alsayyed said.
But it's political motivations he said have forced him to resign as Imam. "Sadly, it's Clinton versus Trump," he said.
Dr. Al Sayyed told KFDM News he was forced to resign as religious director of the Islamic Society of the Triplex after making comments Monday in which he agrees with Donald Trump's statements that the U.S. should temporarily stop accepting any new Muslim immigrants into the country.
While the religious leader said he expected the call to resign eventually, he said it was sped up by politics.
"I think any future candidates, presidents who do not support the fact that we need to be more safe and more cautious about whom to bring into this country, whether a Muslim or not," Dr. Alsayyed said.
His comments he said had nothing to do with politics, but the former Imam said Trump's comments are in line with the Islamic religion.
"The text of the holy Qur'an says the loss of one life is equivalent to killing the whole mankind," he said.
His viewpoint, in part, shifting after lingering questions about the backgrounds of the couple responsible for the mass shooting in San Bernardino.
"But the way it happens when you see this mass shooting and you see some people coming with such a very peaceful background and all of the sudden the intelligences themselves, the agencies are not able to figure out what's happening, why all of a sudden this guy or this girl or that lady open fire and kill 15 people, because American Muslims are not doing their job in the country. So we need to stop, we need to stop taking new ones until we fix the existing situation," Dr. Alsayyed said.
Nidal Al Sayyed was also on Hannity two nights ago saying the same thing, that he agrees with Trump on the need to stop Muslim immigration for now:

Last Fall I made some bold predictions that low interest rates are staying until 2016, which will keep the housing market stable. I also suggested that investing in parts manufacturers like Magna International would be a profitable venture due to the consumer's love for cars 😀
Fast forward to today and it looks like events are unfolding thus far 🙂 The Prime lending rate is still at 3%, unchanged from last year. Mortgage rates have not moved higher. Home prices have not corrected. And Magna International's stock price is now 25% higher since last year's post.
Anyway, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently published their growth projections for countries in 2014. Canada's economy is expected to grow at 2.3% this year, lower than that of the U.S. at 2.8%, and the U.K. at 2.9%.
So we must create a plan to make the best of this current economic situation, because if we fail to plan – then we plan to fail 😉 The following image demonstrates the importance of planning ahead. Can you figure out what's wrong with this sandwich?
Today I will make some more predictions 🙂 I think the overnight lending rate in Canada, currently at 1%, will increase to 1.25% in 2015. And by 2018, it would only be at 1.75%. Since rates are going up so slowly I would continue to own instead of rent, because I think the national average real estate price will move higher in the next few years 😀
