Smart Tips For Uncovering Options
Easy Ways to Hire Stump Removal Services
There are times that in your landscaping project, trees are cut down. The removal of the leftover stump is never easy. It is only in rare circumstances that the company cutting the trees offers stump removal services. For you to be on the safe side, ensure that you are aware if the tree cutting service will also remove the stump after cutting the trees. This is the only way to ensure that there are no misunderstandings after the tree has been cut and the stump left but consider stump grinding Southfield.
You can approach the issue in a DIY method. It will only take you to identify a company that offers stump grinding equipment services for rent. Being experienced in the task, this is the way to go. Lacking the needful knowledge and expertise in the task will, however, disqualify you from going that route. It is very detrimental to use the equipotent if you do not have the proper knowledge on the use of the equipment. As a result, it is better to hire a service provider to remove the stump. Continue reading and know some of the things to look for when you are hiring a stump removal service.
The reputation of the company should be brought to focus from the start. Go for a well-reputed company. Establish if the services the company provides have been embraced by the people who used them in the past. It is very okay to commit your landscaper into recommending the appropriate stump removal service to you.
After identifying a well reputed company, it is time to ensure that they are insured. An insured company will not pass the liability to you in the event of injury or damage as the stump is being removed. This may prove to be a very expensive bill to pay.
The professionalism of the company needs to be assured as well. Do not transact business with a company whose professional performance is wanting. Professional companies will always realize better results.
When it comes to the actual exercise of removing the stumps, specialized equipment is needed. The process involves reducing the stump to wood chips. This is easily achieved by the specialized equipment. The grinder attached to the equipment can go up to a foot under the ground. There will be no hole left after removing the stump since the wood chips are the ones that are used to cover the hole. Again, the chips can be applied as mulch if they are in excess.
The age, the development of the root system and the size of the of the roots, there may need extra work to remove the roots.

Fujifilm has stated the GFX 50R camera at Photokina. It features the FUJIFILM G Format (medium format, 43.8×32.9mm) image sensor, which is approx. 1.7 at the same times the size of a full-frame 35mm image sensor.
The camera will cost $4500 excluding taxes. Also announced is the addition of 3 new GF lenses.
From Fujifilm:
The GFX 50R endures the compact, lightweight and superior image quality characteristics of Fujifilm's GFX medium format mirrorless digital camera system, while weighing approx. 145g less and 25mm underweight than the FUJIFILM GFX 50S. The GFX 50S has attracted high praise from professional photographers since its launch in January 2017. Yet, many field photographers who specialize in weddings, stories and street photography have sought after an even more compact and lightweight camera, along the line of Fujifilm's traditional standard format film cameras such as GA645 (*discontinued) and GF670 (*discontinued). With this in mind, FUJIFILM is adding the new "GFX 50R" to the lineup.
1. Laconic and lightweight (approx. 775g) medium format mirrorless digital camera in the rangefinder style
- The GFX 50R is approx. 145g lighter than the GFX 50S (weighing 920g with EVF). The camera centre is just 66.4mm thick, 25.0mm thinner than the GFX 50S.
- The rangefinder style design allows you to keep your eye on a subject while looking middle of the viewfinder with the other eye. This enables checking and feeling the atmosphere of the scene around your subject matter, shown in the EVF.
- The GFX 50R is equipped with the 0.77x 3.69M-dot biological EL electronic viewfinder (EVF). This allows accurate focusing despite the large size of the medium format sensor, which has a shallower depth of fan than that of a 35mm full-frame sensor when shooting at the same angle of view.
2. Equipped with 51.4MP medium format CMOS sensor and X-Processor Pro picture processing engine
- The medium format (43.8mm x 32.9mm) "G Format" sensor has better per-pixel light reception capability than that of a 35mm full-frame sensor of the yet resolution. Furthermore, the micro lenses have been designed to optimize the light gathering performance and image resolution as well as the handling of information from photodiodes are customized to achieve a superior level of image quality, surpassing that of existing cameras that use a sensor of the same magnitude. As a result, the GFX 50R delivers images that precisely reproduce the subject's texture, three-dimensional feel and even the atmosphere of each scene.
- The GFX 50R physiognomies the X-Processor Pro image processing engine. Supporting FUJIFILM's renowned Film Simulation modes, the camera allows you to opt for the tonality of photographic fade aways such as Velvia, PROVIA and ACROS, used for many years in medium format film cameras by professional and enthusiast photographers alike.
3. Intuitive control and rugged camera camera is an optical instrument for recording or capturing images, which may be stored locally, transmitted to another location, or body that caters for the needs of all photographers
- The GFX 50R is equipped with the Focus Lever to allow quick adjustment of the focus direct attention to. The elimination of the selector buttons provides extra space to hold the camera better. The top panel sports two dials, one for shutter speed and the other for acquaintance compensation. The milled aluminium dials give the camera a premium feel and satisfying clicking touch.
- The robust magnesium alloy body is weather-sealed in 64 hamlets to provide dust and weather resistance and ability to operate at temperatures as low as -10℃. Its durability caters to the needs of all photographers.
4. Extensive lineup of the course format may refer to mirrorless system, "GFX system"
- The medium format mirrorless system, GFX system, currently offers a lineup of seven FUJINON GF lenses, eiderdown focal lengths from 23mm (equivalent to 18mm in the 35mm film format) to 250mm (equivalent to 198mm in the 35mm film format). All GF lenses are able to resolve up 100MP which signifies they are future proof. They are also dust and weather resistant and designed to operate at temperatures as low as -10℃ so that they withstand conscientious use in harsh conditions.
- Tethered shooting is an essential part in a professional photographers workflow. The GFX system supports tethering software "HS-V5 for Windows" and "Fasten Shooting Plug-in PRO for Adobe® Photoshop®", "Capture One Pro (FUJIFILM)" is also due to be released, giving extra options in studio sessions for commercial and the rage photography. This means that a professional photographer can incorporate the GFX system into their regular workflow.
5. GFX system's triumph Bluetooth® compatibility for enhanced connectivity
- This is the first model in the GFX system to support the Bluetooth® low energy technology. Captured images can be transferred most and quickly to smartphones and tablet devices paired with the camera via the FUJIFILM Camera Remote app.

a journal of sexual endeavour ... look away now if you aren't comfortable with explicit gay sex !
14 March 2007
and that made me wonder whether the act of having sex with the same gender leads to a more selfish attitude compared to having sex with the opposite gender ... that perhaps with gay sex you don't have to be quite as empathetic to have a good time - a guy knows what works for him, and doesn't always have to think about what the other person wants ?
i know that there are many gay guys who are not selfish, and plenty that are just as generous having gay sex than those having straight sex ... but this is averages i'm talking about ...
maybe it's bullshit ... but maybe not ...

I've definitely met a selfish guy or two in my wanderings. But I don't reckon that the average gay guy is any more selfish in bed that any other person, male or female. How many straight guys just do the business with their wife or girlfriend at night, and fall soundly asleep as soon as they're finished without any regard for their partner? Judging from what I've been told by some women I know, there are quite a few guys out there like that!

Perhaps we are more selfish ´heteros`. But they surely have a vain mentality much more than us.

Wolters Kluwer Expert Addresses Fair Lending Issues for Banks
Barbara Boccia to Present at CBA's 30th Annual Lenders and Credit Officers Conference
Financial institutions of all sizes continue to grapple with fair lending issues. With the areas of emphasis seeming to continually shift, it can be challenging to manage each new area of examiner focus.
To help address these issues, Wolters Kluwer today announced that Barbara Boccia, senior director of U.S. Advisory Services and Regulatory Relations at Wolters Kluwer, will speak at the California Bankers Association's 30th Annual Lenders and Credit Officers Conference on March 12-15 in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The presentation, "Fair Lending Update," at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, March 14, will examine a number of issues, ranging from preparing for the new Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) rules and upcoming fair lending changes related to commercial real estate secured loans and "covered transactions," to exploring the growing role of data collection within financial institutions.
"Fair lending continues to pose significant challenges for the banking industry, and financial institutions should remain diligent in evaluating any vulnerabilities within their businesses," said Boccia. "This conference is a good opportunity to help banks understand what needs to be done to ensure that their approaches are in line with examiner and regulator expectations."
Boccia is a seasoned compliance professional who has served in senior-level compliance roles with major consulting firms and mid-to-large size banks. She has also assisted banks with regulatory examination preparation and response engagements.

If you were sad about Game of Thrones not being on this past Sunday, you may have been teased and coaxed over to Animal Planet for Mermaid- The Body Found. And, were you drunk, not paying attention, or a graduate of a bad school system, you would have been taken in by the format of the show. Shot in a fairly convincing documentary style, it presented a theory that- at first blush- sounded not crazy at all. Not knowing what I was getting into, my first assumption about this program was that there had been a discovery of sea life I had somehow missed on the web. Perhaps a whale with hand like flippers, or a manatee with long, luxurious locks. The discovery of Homo Floresiensis is still new- only a decade old! And heck, the seabed is still less explored than the surface of the moon. The possibility of a new marine animal is not that remote.
And there is my problem with the entire program. Evolution on Planet Earth is incredible, and amazing. There are organisms that have adapted to live in water that stays at a temperature near the boiling point, creatures live in temperatures that sound comically low. We have things that fly and things that swim, things that can live with no light, no air and even on highly poisonous material. Why present a creature of myth as a reality when the life we already have is mind blowing in it's own right?
The "science" used in this program was obviously thought about by people who know what they are thinking about. The whole docu-fiction was carried out with an air of plausibility, with believable looking "scientists" and dummied up MRI's of skull cavities, and a scientific theory of their evolution that passed at least as much muster as Jurassic Park. And, for a little girl who answered "mermaid" in a class full of presidents and astronauts on What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up day, the soul bursting hope that this was really, really real was almost too much to handle.
Alas, it was not to be. Actors and computer generated images ultimately made for a fun, and dangerous program. Dangerous? Yes- terribly so. In a country (The USA) where a higher percentage of adults believe in ghosts than evolution and where the Ancient Aliens theory is presented with the same weight as extinction theories for dinosaurs, a channel like Animal Planet should be ashamed to be part of the de-sciencing of Americans. The whole program was never presented as a thought experiment of evolutionary biologists (I have seen those with Astro-biologists and Evo-biologists spit-balling about what alien life may possibly look like. Amazingly interesting, and always presented as a scientific flight of fancy).
What is it about fantasy creatures that holds our minds so enraptured? Why would resources be thrown into convincing people- and, if my Facebook feed is indication, some people were absolutely convinced-that the Little Mermaid is in fact under the sea? Have we moved so far away from being spurred into intellectual action by the wonders around us that we must seek myths?
I say- Fight! Fight against this mental oppression! Go read a book. Because obviously, television had nothing left to offer beyond fantasy.

(CNN/Gray News) – One group is drowning in the U.S.-China trade war.
Maine's lobster exports have plunged nearly 84 percent after the U.S. announced tariffs on Chinese goods last year, and China retaliated with its own set of tariffs – including tariffs on a variety of seafood products.
Then in May, the U.S. announced a tariff increase on Chinese goods. The Chinese government responded by announcing it would raise tariffs on U.S. imports.
Siblings Chelsea and Cody Nunan run a lobster fishing business in Maine. Their family has been plucking lobsters from the waters off the coast for five generations.
Chelsea and Cody now worry they might be the last generation in the business.
"It's scary," Cody Nunan said. "You know, I have an 8-year-old daughter now. And it's hard for me to want to bring her into this industry."
When asked if she ever thought she would be caught up in an international trade war, Chelsea Nunan answered: "No, never did. I guess that's up to the president."
Wholesalers like Shawn McEwen said these days, business is treading water.
"Any one of the dealers here in the state of Maine, including myself, was shipping, you know, tens of thousands of pounds per week to China. and that went to almost zero," McEwen said.
The Maine Coast lobster wholesaling company moves 7-million pounds of lobster a year. They've aggressively pursued other markets when exports to China collapsed.
They'd like to expand more, but Maine Coast Vice President Sheila Adams said the uncertainty is holding them back.
"I think it's trying on all of our employees," Adams said. "We ended the year performing basically on target. We didn't grow as much as we would like to grow, or historically have grown, but we didn't lose."
The industry, holding on for now, has a simple message for President Donald Trump.
"This is American jobs. It's rural jobs," said Annie Tselikis, executive director of the Maine Lobster Dealers' Association. "These are industries that are really, really important for rural America."
For lobstermen like Cody Nunan, who said he likes the president, the tariff war is taking a toll.
"He made it sound very good, you know, when he was running," he said.
But now, Nunan said, "It's hurting."
The owner of one lobster company said she's considering moving her Maine-based company to Canada to start selling lobsters there.
She said she doesn't want to make the move, but she's just trying to survive.

Netherlands cuts ambassadorial ties with Turkey
The Netherlands decided to officially withdraw its ambassador to Turkey after the two countries failed to agree on the means to normalise their ties.

This message has just been conveyed to the Turkish chargé d'affaires in The Hague and has brought a pause in the talks with Turkey, the statement read.

UW researcher Patricia Kuhl's research into the social foundations of language learning has earned her one of the top awards in her field.
Patricia Kuhl has long been recognized as one of the world's leading experts on how babies learn to talk.
Now her colleagues have made it official, awarding her the 2015 George A. Miller Prize in Cognitive Neuroscience, an annual award that acknowledges scientists working "at the cutting-edge of their discipline."
Kuhl, who co-directs the University of Washington's Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences, accepted the honor from the Society for Cognitive Neuroscience at the organization's annual meeting in San Francisco.
She lectured about the social foundations of learning and discussed how she and another researcher in her lab, Ping Mamiya, are combining neuroscience and genetics to figure out why some adults are better at learning a second language than others.

Those abilities, in turn, rely on the strength of nerve connections in the front part of the brain.
Mamiya is exploring how variants of a particular gene influence the development of those connections in different individuals and whether those differences could predict how well someone learns a second language.

#IranElections & Acts of Corporate Good
It is evident that the role of social media and digital communications play a critical role in sharing information during environmental disasters or times of political unrest. These tools help spread information, share news and level the playing field in a way that (at least for now) traditional governments can't seem to stop, and not for lack of trying. Using social media sites to organize and mobilize groups of people is nothing new. What I am finding particularly intriguing as I watch the Iranian Election crisis unfold, is how some of these social networks are making decisions as corporate entities that are evolving their roles from neutral platforms to powerful players within a new digital narrative. It's no longer about USERS leveraging a site's features, but organizational decisions which are adding a new variable to social media's role in impacting global change. For the first time, tech companies like Twitter, Facebook & Google are taking direct action in response to an unfolding crisis and are having a big impact. I'm trying to puzzle out the corporate agendas behind these acts as well as thinking of the implications that these decisions will have on driving the development of governmental IT policies and the creation of emerging digital rights legislation. 1) Twitter Reschedules Maintenance after US Government Appeal The US State Department asked Twitter to reschedule its maintenance in order to keep the service available to Iranians so they could continue to share up to the second reports of the unfolding situation. A CNN blog post reported that US Government officials are pushing to ensure that they (and the rest of the world) continue to receive as much information as possible from social networking and content sharing sites. With this request coming from the US Government, it is clear that social media channels are being monitored by the Obama administration which has no diplomatic relationship with Iran. The content they are receiving through Twitter, Facebook and Youtube is an invaluable source of information. Twitter made the corporate decision to change their maintenance date to provide the Iranian people the opportunity to share information at a critical juncture. On to Facebook & Google

Pre-Workout Wonders!
The food choices you make before starting your workout session play a major role in your ability to perform at your best when you exercise, and help combat sluggishness and fatigue. While slow-digesting carbohydrates will provide an instant energy boost for your workouts, a good protein source will give you the endurance that intense exercise often demands. Integrating these snacks into your routine will not only help while you're training, but will also help prevent muscle breakdown and improve repair and recovery after your workout.
This favourite fruit is rich in fast-acting carbohydrates and packed with potassium, which not only helps maintain proper nerve and muscle function,but also serves as a primary source of energy for your body. A banana pre-workout will also help raise your glycogen stores and increase blood sugar levels, giving you that extra energy boost for a good workout.
Consuming a bit of caffeine in any form can be a great addition to your pre-workout ritual. It helps accelerate fat burn and stimulates energy production and endurance, enabling you to extend your workout. Coffee also contains feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine, which can enhance your mood and make you upbeat for your workout, no matter how early in the morning it is!
Lean meats like turkey are an ideal choice for a pre-workout meal, as it contains a lot of protein that gives you an extra edge in your workout sessions. It will boost your energy and improve your strength. Being low in sodium and saturated fat, turkey is also relatively easy to digest, another factor that makes it a great pre-workout choice.
Cottage cheese

Great at assisting muscle recovery, this easily available snack also helps rebuild depleted glutamine, which is necessary to your metabolism. A great morning option, this easily digestible snack can be eaten before an evening workout snack too.
A great source of protein and low glycaemic carbohydrate content, eggs are an ideal snack or meal choice. Boiled, scrambled, or as part of a vegetable-loaded omelette, there is really no wrong way to consume this great source of muscle-building protein. Eggs also help maintain your insulin level, and help promote muscle growth and repair.
Containing complex carbohydrates, oats area winning choice as a pre-workout meal. Not only do they satiate hunger, but they also provide long-term endurance power for high-intensity workouts. Loaded with fibre, oats release carbohydrates gradually, ensuring that your blood sugar levels are up while maintaining a constant energy supply for hours.
Extremely high in glucose, dates work immediately to provide the necessary energy required for a workout. Easy to digest, your body starts utilising the sugar quickly, without having to break it down beforehand. The fibre in dates is a bonus, as it helps provide a constant flow of energy while also flushing out the excess salt in your body while you sweat.
Sweet potatoes
A great option for vegans and meat eaters alike, this little gem is a great source of workout energy. Rich in carbohydrates, sweet potatoes keep your glycogen levelswhere they should be, ensuring that there is no drop in energy during your high intensity workout. With an increase in serotonin and slow-release of insulin, you won't go wrong with this low fat snack. So whether you're getting ready to hit the gym, court or yoga studio, check out some of these healthy, pre-exercise options. They'll boost your energy and metabolism, making your workout an absolute breeze! -Devashree

P-40 Kittyhawk Guns – Only at Wanaka
Visitors to the Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow next Easter are being offered a unique close-up opportunity to see a P-40 Kittyhawk firing its six .50 calibre machine guns.
Auckland-based pilot Frank Parker is returning to Wanaka to fly the P-40. Frank will be firing the guns as part of an aerial display but there will also be a test firing of the guns on the ground on the Friday of the Airshow.
Warbirds Over Wanaka General Manager, Ed Taylor, says Wanaka is the only Airshow in the world where you can see a P-40 firing its guns.
"We are working up a great scenario for the Saturday and Sunday which will involve the P-40 hunting and shooting down a couple of enemy aircraft. But before that on the Friday we will be having a special one-off 'firing of the guns' on the ground to allow fans to get up close and personal for the experience of a lifetime."
"The P-40 guns are something of an only-at-Wanaka thing. They were first used back in 2008 and then in 2012 and 2016. It's great to have them back for 2020. We know they're very popular especially with our international visitors who just can't get enough of them," says Ed.
Pilot Frank Parker says when the guns are fired it changes the P-40's character from a quaint old aircraft to a 'weapons system'. "The guns are a bit muted by the engine noise, however the whole airframe rattles - there is no doubt there is some serious action going on. They add a further dimension to the aircraft and the display routine. I'm very privileged to be in the seat and it does give you a very real feeling for how it must have been when P-40s were flying in combat back in the 1940s," says Frank.
The spent shells will be recovered and signed by Frank and will then be offered for sale to Airshow visitors raising funds for the Warbirds Over Wanaka Community Trust Flying Scholarships.
Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow is being held at Easter 2020 (April 10th, 11th, 12th with Rides Day on April 13th). For more information and tickets go to www.warbirdsoverwanaka.com

Developing a management strategy that maximises the value of your data
Traditionally law and accountancy firms have used centralised data stewards to manage their CRM data. But what happens when the economic climate is difficult and resources are tight? At such times having accurate data is more important than ever for attracting and retaining business. But how can you do it? Here are a few suggestions for adapting your data management strategy.
Critically review your data
Not all the data in your CRM system will be of equal value so, when resources are limited, it's important to identify which is of most importance.
There will almost certainly be data in your system that is old and can be archived or deleted. Deleting old information can reduce data management time considerably.
When you have deleted or archived old data you will be left with some data that you are legally obliged to keep up to date, for data protection purposes, for example. This data will be your highest priority.
Once you have isolated these two extremes then it makes sense to tier your data and the controls that will be applied to it according to the business benefit you get from it and the risks associated with inaccuracies. For example, getting client data wrong will almost certainly undermine confidence, so it makes sense to carefully vet changes before they are applied. On the other hand, you may decide that allowing changes to prospect data to flow through unchecked carries very little risk.
Automate where possible
If your CRM system is anything like Lexis® InterAction® there will be a whole range of automation options. For example, there may be processes that automate contact verification, allow the mass updating of personnel addresses when clients move offices or identify missing information on an exception basis. Maximising the use of these options can significantly reduce the effort involved in managing your CRM data.
Decentralise data management
Decentralising data management can be a good route for maintaining high quality data. Identifying and up-skilling data owners not only provides you with a key opportunity to spread the data management workload, but it puts the responsibility for data accuracy with the people who have the most interest in keeping it correct.
Consult and communicate
Finally, remember that the quality of CRM data impacts the whole organisation, not just the business development or marketing department. So it's vitally important that everyone, from the top to the bottom of the firm, is comfortable with the decisions that are taken and committed to following them through. In turn that means consulting and communicating at every stage of the process for revising your data management strategy.

Bon Jovi, �Lost Highway� (Island)
Yo, Jonnie! I see you been spending some time in Nashville lately, and as one Jersey Guy to another (I'm Exit 90, you're Exit 109), I gotta tell you some stuff.
I was kinda worried when Bon Jovi started doing a country-inspired album. Now I can't argue with success, and you guys sure sold a buncha records last year doing �Who Says You Can't Go Home� with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, which even won a Grammy. So another duet, this time on �Stranger� with LeAnn Rimes, sounds like a smart career move.
And I hear some slide guitars snuck in here and there; is that a banjo on the title track?

In August 2018, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte did something unusual: he publicly criticized China. He asserted that China did not have the right to drive away aircraft and ships passing by its man-made islands in the South China Sea. He explained that no country can create an island and then claim sovereignty over the airspace above it. Hence, he hoped that "China would temper . . . its behavior." His comments raised eyebrows, including in China, whose foreign ministry promptly issued a statement that dismissed them.
Two years ago, when Duterte became president, he tried to strike a bargain with China. He would set aside the Philippines' hard-won ruling from the international Permanent Court of Arbitration against China's claims in the South China Sea, and instead offer China a carrot: joint development of natural gas reserves in their disputed waters. In return, he wanted China to halt the militarization of its man-made islands and allow Filipino fishermen to return to the waters around them. Moreover, he wanted access to Chinese grants and low-interest loans for infrastructure construction in the Philippines. Perhaps to overcome what he saw as Chinese reticence given the Philippines' historically close ties with the United States, Duterte sweetened the pot further. In 2017, he offered to jointly explore the Benham Rise, an undersea area off the east coast of the Philippines, with China.
So far, Duterte has not seen much return on his strategy. The Chinese coast guard continues to seize the catches of Filipino fishermen and, while China has offered loans, their terms have been worse than those offered by other countries, notably Japan. Meanwhile, Chinese behavior in the South China Sea has become, if anything, more aggressive.
In December 2017, China flaunted footage of its new airfield on Fiery Cross Reef, one of its man-made islands in the South China Sea, on state-run China Central Television. That left the Philippines feeling misled; Philippine Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana grumbled that "the Chinese government said some time ago that they were not going to militarize those reclaimed islands." As a result, Manila lodged a formal diplomatic protest. Yet Beijing continued to build military facilities on the islets it occupies in the Spratly archipelago.
Possibly as a result, Duterte rescinded his offer to jointly explore the Benham Rise with China in February. He then qualified his offer of joint development for offshore natural gas. Any deal struck for joint development must be with a Chinese company, not Beijing, Duterte said. After all, a deal with Beijing would confer legitimacy onto Chinese claims on the South China Sea, whose eastern waters the Philippines still contends are its own.
China paid no heed to Duterte's gestures. In April, Philippine media reported images of two Chinese military aircraft on Mischief Reef. Then, a month later, China revealed that it flew several H-6K bombers to one of its South China Sea islands and armed three of them—Fiery Cross Reef, Mischief Reef, and Subi Reef—with long-range YJ-12B anti-ship cruise missiles and HQ-9B surface-to-air missiles. Manila responded with an "appropriate action," presumably in the form of another diplomatic protest.

Elephants to be moved from Twycross Zoo
- Video credit: Twycross Zoo
Twycross Zoo is going to move its all-female herd of Asian elephants to Blackpool Zoo to allow the animals to breed.
Originating from the open grasslands, marshes, savannahs and tropical forests of India, Burma, Thailand and Sri Lanka, the Asian elephants are classified as an endangered species.
Dr Sharon Redrobe OBE, CEO of Twycross Zoo said:
Twycross' current enclosure Elephant Creek can't house a male bull elephant to naturally grow into a larger family.
Minbu, Tara, Noorjahan and Esha will be transported in specially designed steel crates weighing 10 tons each.
Elephant keepers at the zoo have been walking them into the transport crates, to allow them to get used to standing inside them, making the journey as stress free as possible when the transfer happens in spring 2018.
Albert Pamies, Head Keeper of the elephant section at Twycross Zoo explains:
Threats to wild populations include poaching, habitat destruction or fragmentation.
Dr Sharon Redrobe, CEO of Twycross Zoo concludes:
A bull elephant will be introduced to the group once the elephants are settled into their new home.

Pollution clouds GM's "forward look" in autos
Last Thursday and Friday, General Motors had two of its concept cars on display in front of the Student Center. The Chevy Express was a technology demonstrator. Powered by a turbine engine, it was never intended to be mass produced and was essentially a rolling test bed.
On the other hand, the black Cadillac Voyage was much closer to the type of car that GM plans to introduce to its show rooms in the future. The promotional pamphlet spoke of the awesome power developed by the V8 engine and all of the advanced features that have been included in this car. The pamphlet also stated that "at higher speeds, aerodynamics are vitally important for stability and fuel economy." I asked the GM employee with the car what the fuel economy actually was (a figure that was conspicuously missing from the specifications), and he proudly assured me that it was over 20 miles per gallon. He thought that it was about 22 MPG. Gas mileage that low is disgraceful!
We are facing the worst pollution-related environmental problems ever, including acid rain, the greenhouse effect and cities choking in smog, and GM is working on 3800-pound gas-guzzling land yachts. Many cars on the road today get gas mileage of 30 or even 40 MPG while GM is threatening to close plants because of "unreasonable" Corporate Average Fuel Economy requirements of 26.5 MPG (for the average of all cars they sell in 1989).
GM failed to meet CAFE requirements from 1983 through 1985 and then in 1986 successfully lobbied to have them lowered. The requirements will go up again next year, and GM plans to fall behind again. The descendants of the Cadillac Voyage will not hit the production lines until 1995, and GM is still planning to use the same engine as is being used in Cadillacs today. The six-year lag between conception of a new model and the start of production ensures that an effort to improve now would not be seen for years to come.
GM's blatant disregard for the environment is distressing because huge corporations like GM can make the needed difference, but their "spirited look toward the future" is looking as dirty and polluted as ever. It is unfortunate that GM is making no effort to set a good example and it will probably take another oil crisis before they consider making more efficient cars.

A small hill, which underneath the vegetation is large coiled up grass snake. A humanoid figure is positioned in the middle of it. if one enters a certain range of it, it's primary effects begins. During the first 10 minutes, there are no visible changes and those affected do not feel anything. However the fertility of those affected steadily increases. The effect is cumulative. After the end of those minutes, the affected develop random secondary sexual characteristics of the opposite sex(the number can vary). Depending on the characteristic the process can be painful or almost unnoticeable. This phase takes around 8 minutes. The third phase causes the development of primary sexual traits of the opposite sex while retaining their own.This process is of course very painful, often incapacitating those affected thus causing them to remain in range for the duration of the change. While in the range of the skip the changes cause no detrimental effects. Once removed from it individuals can suffer from a variety of physical problems, caused by the changes-hormonal imbalance, vascular problems, etc.
Its secondary effect manifests during the month of October. gray humanoid shapes become visible within its range. For the most part they appear to have no interest in Foundation personnel, but, on occasion, some will try to approach. if contact is made within the range, those touched will report a sense of nostalgia and describe the shapes as having the feel of very thick mist.

Supergraphics: how colour, imagery and type can transform public spaces

The term is used to describe large-scale graphics, typography and imagery that adorns walls or other large surfaces – but the variety and application of these mega graphics have increased over recent years.

Researchers Pen Severe Report About AI's Threat to Humanity
Assembling in Oxford, 26 researchers from 14 organizations have drafted a 100-page report on the dangers artificial intelligence poses the future of humanity. As VICE notes, AI is already all around us, operating background processes in everything from medicine to finance. The two-day conference declared that superhuman artificial intelligence can be turned on humanity and those working in the field must take the potential misuse into consideration now during their work.

When Will Americans Be Angry Enough To Demand Honesty About Algorithms?
In the 1960s, a series of man-made disasters–from oil spills to rivers literally catching fire–enraged Americans and helped to spur politicians to create environmental laws, including the requirement that federal agencies prepare Environmental Impact Reports on the effects of any new proposed construction projects. It seems like common sense now, but it took many decades (and irreparable damage) to get the government to create these regulations.

Organ Procurement and HIPPA
Nationwide, hospitals are updating their agreements to comply with the privacy regulations contained in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The core functions of an Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) are subject to two regulatory exemptions in the final HIPAA privacy regulations. First, a health care provider may use or disclose information if and as required by law. This exemption allows OPOs and hospitals to comply with the Medicare Conditions of Participation, 42CFR § 482.45 which specifically authorize referrals and records audits.
The second, and most broad exemption is found at §164.512(h) which allows information to be released to organ procurement organizations or other entities involved in the procurement, banking or transplantation of cadaveric organs, eyes, or tissue for the purposes of facilitating organ, eye or tissue donation and transplantation. This allows the release of information by and to, donor hospitals, transplant hospitals, United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), tissue banks and laboratories.
Pursuant to these two exemptions, hospitals do not need to obtain patient consent for OPOs to do their core jobs; the coordination of donation and transplant, and the review of records. Furthermore, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) responses to comments on the regulations clarify that OPOs are not 'business partners' of hospitals. The response states, in pertinent part: "...organ procurement organizations and tissue banks are generally not business associates of hospitals."
Thus, OPOs do not need to enter into "business partner agreements" with hospitals, unless they are acting as something other than OPOs. LifeNet Health Affiliation Agreement does not contemplate that we act in any capacity other than as an OPO. Finally, in the preamble to the final rule, CMS states that OPOs are not "health care providers" when they are engaged in the procurement or banking of organs, blood or tissues. Thus, with regard to hospital affiliations, OPOs are neither covered entities, nor business partners, and are specifically permitted to perform their core functions, with stringent confidentiality, but outside the ambit of HIPAA.

|There are currently no available units, please register for wait list below.
What our residents are saying
I've been lucky enough to live in this community for almost 5 years. When I say community I don't mean the West End. I mean our building. I have never in my life lived in a place where the neighbors were so close and helpful.
I'm sure the transition after you acquired the property was a little more defensive than it needed to be. People are always afraid of change.
Personally, I couldn't be happier. I've found our building manager to not only be a smart, competent, effective building manager, but as a person she is caring and attentive and I couldn't ask for a better person to be looking after our building. I have had several hiccups in my space and she has responded quickly and professionally at every turn.
3yrs of micro-living essentially changed my life. It's a lifestyle that led to my creative and financial freedom – while being affordable, convenient, a lighter/greener footprint and surrounded by a like-minded community in return.
Micro-living is rewarding and refreshing. Minimizing square footage inspired me to create a surprisingly sleek, expressive and footprint-friendly space. It's an easy trade for a location that's walking distance to shops, a spirited nightlife and a reduced commute time to work.
After completing my undergraduate degree, it was important for me to live frugally but also comfortably. Micro-living proved to be the perfect solution. I was able to save money while enjoying the perks of residing in the heart of the city. Friendly neighbours and great management were an additional bonus!
Our building was a little diamond in the rough. I love that it's safe and been made modern where it counts while holding true to its historic charm. There are so many incredible local businesses in the area, and I couldn't ask for a better community of neighbours.
Micro-living has been a great way to save money and get ahead. I've been able to get back to the basics and re-focus on my career. Being in a central location with affordable rent has made all the difference in this stage of my life.
Great people mean a lot. This is the first photo of bald me (during chemo treatment for Lymphoma). I'd asked my neighbour if he could take some before pics of my hair. While in the hall, we were joined by a few more tenants. After a whole thwack of photos we decided we had enough and should just buzz it off! We ended up cutting my hair down into every hilarious style we could until it was gone. Like most of the awesome times we've had as a group, it started with bumping into people in the hall and going from there. I was lucky to have had such a fantastic community around me during a challenging time.
I made great friends in the building. Like lifelong super connected friends. There's something to be said for meeting people who are in the same place at the same time in our lives. We just get each other. I didn't expect it when I moved in (wasn't on my radar at all) but it's what I appreciate most. We're all thankful for a great manager who somehow knew that we'd all fit together!

The Biggest Loser Season 16 Episode 5: Full Episode Live!Matt Richenthal at .
The stakes got pretty high on The Biggest Loser Season 16 Episode 5.
And things also got pretty interesting.
The teams were challenged to race through the air - yes, we said the air! - across a canyon. But this wasn't all. Contestants were then tasked with solving a puzzle, yet the reward for the winning side was well worth it in the end:
The winners get the opportunity to sideline one player from the losing team's weigh-in, which offered up quite the chance for those who came out on top.
How did it all go down? Watch The Biggest Loser online to find out:

While speaking at a lunch the other day, I asked the same questions I ask every audience:
1) Who has a company Vision?
At this point the entire audience raises their hands. The other day, there were two hundred people in total, and I couldn't see one person without their hand up in the air.
Then comes the follow up question:
2) Who can clearly articulate that Vision? And I mean, come up on the stage, take the microphone for 60 seconds and let everyone know what the Vision is and what it means.
Now at this point, without fail, only about 5% of the room puts their hands in the air.
This is disturbing.
After all, almost every organisation has a Vision, but why do we create these? Is it just something to put on the wall and walk past every now and then? Clearly not. We build a Vision in order to guide people's actions and inspire them to turn up to work everyday.
There is something I like to call the '5 Million Dollar Question'. Put simply, it's this: if one of your employees won $5 million today, would they still turn up to work tomorrow. The answer for most organisations is 'no way'. But a clear vision that inspires people and causes them to come to work everyday with a sense of purpose has the potential to supersede financial motivation.
So where do we go so wrong?
A compelling vision needs three main attributes if we really want it to do it's job:
1) It needs to be EMOTIONAL
It has to appeal to people's emotions in order to incite the kind of motivation and purpose that people really want. Without an emotional response, the next two factors are hard to execute.
2) It needs to be MEMORABLE
The Vision needs to be constructed so that people can recall it easily. One of the key roles of Vision is to shape people's actions. And since we make choices on an hourly basis about the behaviours we undertake, the guiding Vision needs to be front of mind so that people make the right choice more often than not
3) It needs to be CREDIBLE
Without credibility, people won't believe. If it's too far fetched, has no evidence or is something that didn't work in the past, then be prepared for people to actually disengage.
So these are the three main criteria that a Vision needs to fulfil. If yours doesn't match up, then scrap it and start again. Don't keep the Vision alive just because it's always been there.
In the next few posts, I am going to elaborate on each of the three factors and talk about the usual stumbling blocks that people face.

'True Detective' Season 3: Plot, Cast, Premiere Date, & Everything Else You Should Know About
After over three years of waiting, True Detective fans are relieved to know that Season 3 has finally scheduled for release. The HBO drama is set to return early next year.
True Detective is an anthology police drama that first aired in 2014. It starred award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Season 2 aired the following year but it received a less favorable reception from critics and fans.
Although the previous season of True Detective did not live up to the expectation of the viewers, many of its fans are still eager to see what the third season will have to offer. While waiting for True Detective Season 3 release date, let's take a look of what to expect this season.
The story of True Detective Season 2 takes place in Ozarks and plays out in three separate time periods. The story will revolve around the investigation of two detectives of a macabre crime that involves two missing children. The mystery surrounding the case deepens over decades.
Cast and Crew
Season 3 will be starred by Oscar winner Mahershala Ali. The Moonlight actor plays the lead role of Wayne Hays, a state police detective from Northwest Arkansas. Blade actor Stephen Dorff portrays Hays' partner, Roland West, an Arkansas State Investigator whose career has been influenced by an unsolved crime in the state.
Justice League star Ray Fisher acts as Wayne's son Freddy Burns. Selma actress Carmen Ejogo plays the play the role of Amelia Reardon, an Arkansas schoolteacher who has a connection to the two missing children in 1980.
Like the previous season, the third installment will also consist of eight episodes. Series creator Nic Pizzolatto is the sole writer of the season except for Episode 4 which he co-wrote with David Milch. McConaughey and Harrelson are among the executive producers of the Season 3 along with Pizzolatto, Season 1 director Cary Fukunaga, and more.
Jeremy Saulnier exited the production early this year after directing the first two episodes of the season apparently due to scheduling conflicts. However, there have been rumors that Saulnier left the show because of differences of opinion with Pizzolatto. Saulnier was later replaced by veteran director Daniel Sackheim.
Premiere Date
After the Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn-starred Season 2 in 2015, the people behind the anthology clearly took their time to think about the third installment. It can be recalled that former HBO President Michael Lombard took responsibility for the chilly reception of the second season, saying they pressured Pizzolato to release a new season.
In August 2017, HBO eventually confirmed True Detective Season 3. Now, the network has given the green light for the third outing to kick off on January 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

The former City and Celtic midfielder said that the FAI's under-13 league will start in March 2019 and the Brandywell club was determined to be involved.
"We already have teams competing at under-15, under-17 and under-19 and our understanding was that a similar league was going to start next August for the under-13's," said McCourt.
"We've been taken a little bit by surprise to find out that this will now start next March so we're getting straight down to work in preparation.
"Whilst I'll be overseeing all the underage teams I'll be managing the under-13's and I'm happy to confirm that we have secured the services of Mo Mahon as Assistant Manager.
"Mo already holds his 'B' Licence and is highly-regarded in local coaching circles, especially during his time at Foyle Harps.
"We've been getting our heads together over the past few weeks and have already been scouting players at both the Super Cup and the Foyle Cup.
"The plan is to put together a training squad over the next few weeks and from that, a panel of players who will prepare over the winter to represent Derry City at national competition level.
"It's an exciting venture and a great opportunity both for the club and the players involved.
For his part, Mo Mahon said he was looking forward to the opportunity and was delighted to be involved in the programme.
"Paddy approached me about it a few weeks ago and I met him a couple of times to discuss things.
"I was very impressed with his plans and how he wants to go about this programme. To be honest it was a no-brainer for me.
"It's a really positive step from the club as Kenny Shiels, Paddy McCourt and their teams set about building for the future.
"And one thing is for sure- it will do no harm at all to have someone of Paddy's stature leading the group," added Mo.

I woke up Sunday morning very groggy because Fred and I were up until 3:00 am, working on the walk video (from my previous post). Fred and Elise brought me my card and presents, and after I nursed Elise, I went back to sleep until about 11:00. I am just way too old to stay up that late (we were up until 3:00 the night before too).
I thought Fred and I (and Elise, of course) were going to have a nice quiet dinner out, but somehow he managed to sneak 20 of our friends (plus three toddlers) into a reserved room without me noticing. There was much merriment and, of course, cake!
When I remember back to my birthday last year, I'm struck at how sad that day was for me. I don't remember why, as I've written in a previous post, 2008 was a horrible year for me. Only one week after I turned 32, Elise was diagnosed with diabetes. Perhaps I had an impending sense of doom... I don't know. I just remember feeling very bleak about the year ahead.
Fortunately, I have a good feeling about 33!

Pizza in Napoli (Naples)
Originally uploaded by aeward.
Pissa is late Vulgar Latin (9th century) for flat bread, and apparently came to mean a flat bread with a cheese topping by the 14th century in some Italian dialects.[1] Pizzo, which means "point" in Italian, may have been an influence.[2] Many languages around the Mediterranean have similar words meaning flat bread or unleavened bread, see pita.
The Italian word for a person with talent for making pizza is pizzaiolo. A restaurant that serves pizza is called a pizzeria (from Italian).
Pizza marinara: with tomato, garlic, oregano and oil;
Pizza Margherita: tomato, sliced mozzarella, basil and oil;
Pizza Romana (in Naples): tomato, mozzarella, anchovies, oregano, oil;
Pizza Viennese: tomato, mozzarella, German sausage, oregano, oil;
Calzone is a pizza in the form of a half moon, filled with ricotta, salami and mozzarella; it can be either fried or oven baked.
Calzone and stromboli are very similar dishes (calzone is traditionally half-moon-shaped, while a stromboli is tube-shaped) that are often made of pizza dough rolled or folded around a filling.
