Is Pollpass a Scam?
Is the new survey site legit?
Surveys are a great way for anyone to make a bit of extra money from home, and there are so many sites it can be hard to know which ones you should sign up to if you want to make the most money.
And every time a new survey site comes onto the scene, there is always the inevitable debate of whether or not this site is a scam, and Pollpass is no different. Some people are holding their ground and calling it a scam, but others are showing more faith in them.
How does it work?
Pollpass is different to other survey sites because rather than selecting specific surveys and completing them, you answer your questions via chat. When the system is working properly, the questions just keep coming with no need for you to do anything other than answer them. But sometimes the chat gets stuck, and this lasted around four days for me personally. Longer for others.
How much do I get paid?
This depends on the questions you are asked and how long you chat for. The average seems to be about 25 points per question, but some questions are worth more. The minimum number of points you need in order to cash out is 5,000, and this might sound like a lot, but I did reach this in about an hour (but that included the four day delay)
You can be paid via PayPal cash or Amazon vouchers, and I requested my PayPal cash on the Monday and I received it in about two hours. You need to go to your account once you have accumulated enough points and request payment through PayPal or Amazon, I am not sure how long Amazon vouchers take to arrive.
So does Pollpass pay?
In a word, yes, they do pay. I had no problems getting my money and it came on the same day.
Why do people say it is a scam?
They are a fairly new company and were still working through the teething problems of their chat function. It caused pretty big delays for almost everyone and they were very apologetic about it. Though they did say someone would get into contact with me on Facebook, but they never did.
I will admit I was one of the first to say it was a scam because of the technical problems. I even wrote it on their page. I have taken it down now because I can confirm that they do pay.
Is it better or worse than other sites?
It's different. The whole format is different to other survey sites. It's not shown to be that reliable so far, but we have to allow for a few problems whenever any kind of new website gets up and running. It's efficient, and if it continues to work and payout, you could potentially reach 5,000 points every day, which could become a nice little side income.
Would you recommend Pollpass?
Even though they do pay and they pay quickly, I will still not recommend it. There were too many complications and problems to start with and communication wasn't the best. And I can't help feeling like this is something that will happen again. But like every survey company, just because it is right for me, doesn't mean it won't be for you.
Have a look at Pollpass.
If you are curious about Pollpass, sign up and have a look. You don't have to spend too much time on there, but you will get the feel of what the site is like and whether it is for you or not. Like all survey sites, it's a personal thing. Some people love Swagbucks, but I can't stand them.

Did they get you, too?
The Daily IKN email digest, get all daily posts sent to you next day (& no ads)
Dorato Resources (DRI.v) sure suckered Eric Sprott
Did they get you, too?
So according to your humble scribe's rough scratchings, the 881,850 shares of Dorato Resources (DRI.v) that Eric Sprott's Asset Management company had tucked away at the beginning of 2011 were at that time worth $1.36m . Now they're worth $0.502m. Ouch.
It's a good job Eric spreads his holdings around, isn't it? Because owning up to a great fat loss in a scamjob like DRI in the midst of one of the biggest gold bull runs ever would sure be embarrassing otherwise, especially when insiders were busy selling their holdings at the very same time (and prices) that Eric thought such a bargain. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Ericdude, if I were you I'd have a word with the analyst that talked you into buying so much of DRI without having the first clue about the regional political risk that was being taken on board.

What to do with Grandma's old silver sugarloaf cutters? Intriguing and somewhat ominous looking things, they really have no place in our current lifestyles, except as objects of mystery and intrigue.
Be that as it may, they are worthy 'objects of mystery and intrigue'; along with many of their ilk, they are arranged for public enjoyment and appreciation in one of the many exhibition halls at the Dalby Pioneer Park Museum. This delightful local resource is an undervalued treasure. Set on 10 or so acres of Crown land in a residential area on the western side of Dalby, it consists of no less than 22 separate buildings absolutely filled to bursting with fascinating memorabilia. The buildings are in themselves a living history of the district. Something of a small town in their own right, they have been gathered here at the Dalby Pioneer Park for the preservation of their historic and cultural value, and to house a plethora of fascinating contents.There's an old school complete with shared desks (with inkwells of course) and plank chairs, a typical, tiny pioneers' cottage, its kitchen at the end of an open walkway for fire safety – but not exactly designed in consideration of the vicissitudes of Dalby's frigid winter mornings. There's the Kupunn Memorial Hall with its lovely floor made for dancing – now the home of the Dalby Men's Shed. The current incumbents have been charged with the duty of protecting the integrity of this floor with their honour. There's a lovely old store, the original nurses' quarters from the hospital; even the old Dalby three-cell watchhouse has found a respectable niche and a gallant purpose in the care of an impressive (and heavily-guarded) rifle collection.
The buildings house such treasures as a rock collection, a bottle collection, a fossil collection. There's even the tibia of a giant kangaroo, a now extinct species, 28 inches long from ankle to knee joint. From the vast collection of Aboriginal artefacts to Ned Kelly's handwritten petition from his prison hospital bed begging permission for a visit from his sister, the history of mankind's progression across this land, especially in the local district, is set out in the many artefacts on display at the Pioneer Park Museum.
Caretaker and custodian of the Park, Elaine Fox, is a streak of greased lightening on her golf cart as she inspects her vast domain. Elaine knows every inch of the Park and every museum item almost as well as she knows each of her six sons. Recently widowed, Elaine was named Dalby's 2014 Australia Day Local Citizen of the Year in honour of a lifetime's voluntary work. This includes 11 years volunteering for Meals on Wheels, and caring for the Pioneer Park Museum's huge collection of fascinating memorabilia along with a committee of stalwart volunteers. Many people work hard to keep the Pioneer Park afloat and viable – it's a big job, a labour of love, and makes possible an immensely significant local attraction and a fascinating insight into our past.

Stylish Way To Hide The Litter Box
Do you hate having to see the litter box? Me too! I set out to find a solution on Pinterest and came up with this hybrid plan.
First, I took a $5 junk piece from Goodwill.
Next I cut a hole out of the back.
I searched the "oops" cans of paint at Home Depot and found this $8 grey that would work with the room where the new cabinet would be. (Don't forget to pick up primer! It needs to go onto laminate furniture first for the paint to stick!)
And…turned it into this!
It now disguises the cat's litter box. This is the first time ever I've done a project from Pinterest that's turned out! The whole thing cost me less than $28 including supplies.
PS – Sorry for the photo quality on a couple of these!

Uber according to reports turned a blind eye to sexual harassment and this has prompted a board shake up of the company's management. Back in February in the middle of sexual misconduct allegations by a former Uber female employee, Uber had hired former US Attorney General Eric Holder to lead a panel of independent investigation and now the Uber board has reportedly pledged to implement the recommendations fully.
One of those recommendations was firing of Emil Michael who is CEO Travis Kalanick's right hand man and he finally left the company day ago.
Travis Kalanick, 40, himself who has been accused of not doing enough to combat corporate misconducts in his company has now proposed to take time off indefinitely the company he helped build after a boating accident that killed his mother and landed his father in a hospital. He now says he needs time off with his family but others think the move might be a secret recommendation by the board that he take some time off until wounds are healed.
It's not clear at this time when he might return but seeing as Uber has now fired over 20 employees in recent months over allegations of sexual misconduct, this might be a long time away and that's assuming that no one accuses him directly of any misconducts. But people within Uber say the leave had been on the table since last month but the challenge with that argument is that we have now learned that it is indefinite which says a lot too.
The Uber situation is now shining a light on the tech industry in general which has sometimes been accused of being too busy with innovation and turning a blind eye (sometimes deliberately) to sexual misconducts. As Mr. Kalanick leaves for now at least, Uber can begin the process of laundering their image and a struggling business.

The Age of Milton: An Encyclopedia of Major 17th-Century British and American Authors
The Age of Milton: An Encyclopedia of Major 17th-Century British and American Authors
This encyclopedia is dedicated to the notion that the product of authors in all disciplines of 17th-century culture in Britain, in its American colony, and on the Continent should be taken as a whole. Even in literature, the century is a piece. In science, in music, in painting, in theology, in architecture, and in landscape gardening, there is an acknowledged direct line that combines skepticism with a kind of euphoric hope so as to make one fearful that the world might be producing something like discernible progress.
No one could easily venture that by the late 17th century European culture of the world did not experience an unparalleled flowering of arts and sciences. Continuous and documented scientific discovery went to the development of the Royal Society from the influences of Gilbert and Galileo, Harvey and Newton, and led to England becoming the world's first industrialized nation-state. Renaissance music, taking its cue from Byrd, Douland, and Monteverdi, developed into the magnificent Baroque music of Purcell, Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Handel, and Bach. Shadowy painting of the likes of the works of Caravaggio and Velázquez led to the achievements of Rubens, Van Dyck, Artemisia Gentileschi, Rembrandt, and Vermeer. Architecture from Inigo Jones and the various geniuses of ungeometric landscape gardening flourished beyond all expectations, especially in the gardens in the "town" of London, as did writers of essays, drama, romance, novel, and lyric. The world of art and science had outdone itself in a century.
That English Departments all over the world today make a break in their literature curriculum at the Restoration of the Stuart King Charles II in 1660 creates, I argue, an artificial divide, an unnecessary crack into which many fine literary figures such as Anne Bradstreet, Samuel Butler, John Lilburne, Thomas Hobbes, and John Bunyan normally fall and disappear. Literature in English in the 17th century follows two warring strains—Puritan to Whig and Cavalier to Restoration—with fence-sitters and double agents galore, as we shall see in this modest volume.

Management of L-dopa overdose in the competitive inhibition state

Abstract: The amino acid L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) is prescribed for conditions where increased central and/or peripheral dopamine synthesis is desired. Its administration can establish dopamine concentrations higher than can be achieved from an optimal diet. Specific indications include Parkinson's disease and restless leg syndrome. The interaction between serotonin and dopamine exists in one of two distinctly different physiologic states: the endogenous state or the competitive inhibition state. Management with L-dopa in the competitive inhibition state is the focus of this paper. In the past, control of the competitive inhibition state was thought to be so difficult and complex that it was described in the literature as functionally "meaningless". When administering L-dopa without simultaneous administration of serotonin precursors, the patient is in the endogenous state. Experience gained with patient outcomes during endogenous L-dopa administration does not allow predictability of L-dopa outcomes in the competitive inhibition state. The endogenous approach typically increases the daily L-dopa dosing value in a linear fashion until symptoms of Parkinson's disease are under control. It is the novel observations made during treatment with the competitive inhibition state approach that L-dopa dosing values above or below the optimal therapeutic range are generally associated with the presence of the exact same Parkinson's disease symptoms with identical intensity. This recognition requires a novel approach to optimization of daily L-dopa dosing values from that used in the endogenous state. This paper outlines that novel approach through utilization of a pill stop. This approach enhances patient safety through its ability to prevent L-dopa overdose, while assisting in the establishment of the optimal therapeutic L-dopa daily dosing value.

Hi-Test is among Soundwave's group of Mini-Con subordinates.
Transformers: Robots in Disguise
Season 3
In Guilty as Charged, Hi-Test surreptitiously observed Strongarm and Nightra patrolling a forest road. He attempted to steal Strongarm's Decepticon Hunter only to disturb some birds, prompting Nightra to run and Strongarm to follow. Hi-Test later opened a GroundBridge portal to report back to Soundwave, who berated him for his failure. Frightened, Hi-Test fled, with Soundwave threatening to offline Hi-Test.
In Collateral Damage, Hi-Test took to following Bumblebee's team for a while afterwards. He finally revealed himself after knocking Laserbeak away during an fight with Optimus Prime before linking himself up with Optimus to upgrade him. With the additional power provided, Optimus successfully defeated Laserbeak and destroyed Soundwave's beacon generator. After explaining himself through Optimus, he was encouraged to make the Shadowzone his home as no one would hunt him there, disappearing through another Groundbridge portal.
- The script for the episode "Railroad Rage" called for Hi-Test to appear and steal Strongarm's Decepticon Hunter, even though he had left Soundwave's team of Mini-Cons three episodes earlier. Fortunately, the error was noticed before the episode went out, and Hi-Test was subbed out for new character Goldgear. As a result, the two share a body-type.

Resurrection: The Return of the Rejected
8 comments:
In Jesus' telling, the chief priests and the elders/Pharisees would have seen that God/the landowner was on their side, casting out anyone who threatened their self righteousness or authority. In Matthew's retelling of the story... well, this is where I get lost. The early church would have seen the tenant farmers/wretches as the Roman Empire. God will surely kick them out. But if the flow follows Jesus' original telling, the empire would have become the cornerstone? (Oh, wait! It did, a few centuries later!)ReplyDelete
I'm lost.
Dwight: I agree with the Anonymous commenter above. Still, I see your point and find the hard part of this parable to be how it is that Jesus is speaking it "against them", i.e. the chief priests, etc. I also think it is complicated because, as Jesus speaks, he has not been killed. So, to posit him as the son who is put to death in the parable has to be a post-crucifixion/resurrection claim by the early church, retrofitted into a parable in a pre-crucifixion/resurrection moment.ReplyDelete
I wonder what might have happened if the leaders had said "God will restore the son as Psalm 117/118 says." If the had given this answer and, indeed, if they had exercised their offices with the expectations that God would do so, I think Jesus would have said, "Yes!" and they would have been on the same side. But, by answering with violence, they have aligned themselves with the manner of Rome and have shown their kinship with the tenants, not the way of God.
Something like that, perhaps?
I'm reading this three years later and I thank you for your hard work. I'm reading this at a time when yesterday the Spanish police tried to stop the Catalans from voting to secede by committing acts of violence. The Empire does not know how to behave differently. And then the awful tragedy of Las Vegas today. Our leaders offer "thoughts and prayer" and likely won't do a thing to prevent this from happening again. They too have "internalized imperial violence as a theology." The "thoughts and prayers" are pacifiers to maintain the imperial status quo dressed up as theological anguish. Perhaps i'm being far too judgmental and the feelings are all raw again, but I am so fed up with "prayers" that do not seek to change anything. You began with Isaiah 5 and the spoiled fruit. I intend to read it alongside the parable for this Sunday to further the idea that Jesus is holding up leaders and authorities of different eras and persuasions who have not sought to protect the innocent.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi David,Delete
I actually updated this post a lot this year, so it's a little fresher than the bread in my freezer at home.
Yes, I'm reading the Song of the Vineyard this Sunday, alongside of this parable, also. In fact, I have woven them together to be ready by two voices back and forth. If you're interested in seeing that, send me you email (or message me on Facebook your email address) and I'll send it to you.
Thanks for your thoughts. What a difficult week.
D.Mark, your "what if" comment about the Pharisees from 10/5/14 makes me think of the alternative (correct?) reading of Zaccheus, in which he defends his correct practices of giving back fourfold, etc. -- practices he already engages! Jesus overrules he inherent prejudices of the crowd against tax collectors, saying "salvation has come here today!" Yes, the possibility of answering correctly is always there for Jesus, and He would indeed celebrate it with a "Yes!"ReplyDeleteReplies
Terry, thanks for your comments, both with regard to this text and with regard to Zacchaeus. I would agree that the possibility of answering correctly is always there with Jesus. The Syro-Phoenician woman is a great example, because she basically offers a better perspective than Jesus does, to which he agrees. The Roman Centurion speaks of authority in a way that Jesus approves. The outsiders seem to get it right more often than the insiders and the experts.Delete
Another parallel (sort of) - the occupation of federal lands by protesters who see their actions as setting off a wider protest by ranchers and others to resist the feds - and the rationale for bearing arms to be able to defend against the government's forces. Similar to occupy Wall Street with violence against the police? If that sounds like the reaction of the tenants, the religious leadership sounds like those enforcing the dominance of the 'rightful owners?'ReplyDelete

A generator supplies electricity during a power outage. To render that service, it needs maintenance and testing that ensure its readiness for electricity generation. Generators that serve Level 1 and Level 2 facilities require different services to be performed on different schedules. Below is a list of these services and the schedules on which they should be performed:
Generator Maintenance
Generator maintenance is performed on a daily, weekly, monthly, semiannual, and annual basis. A diesel generator should have the following services performed daily:
- General inspection
- Coolant heater check
- Oil check
- Fuel check
- Charge-air piping check
The generator should have the following measures performed weekly:
- Air cleaner check
- Battery charger check
- Fuel filter drain
- Fuel tank drain
The generator should have the measures below performed monthly:
- Coolant concentration check
- Drive belt tension check
- Exhaust condensate drain
- Starting battery check
The generator should have the following measures performed semiannually:
- Oil and filter change
- Coolant filter change
- Crankcase breather cleaning
- Air cleaner element change
- Radiator hose check
- Fuel filter change
The generator should have its cooling system cleaned annually.
The services above should be supplied by a power service in Georgia that performs scheduled maintenance as one of its power generation services.
Generator Testing
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) establishes testing guidelines for Level 1 and Level 2 generators. These guidelines require generators to be tested monthly for thirty minutes under available load. If a generator fails to perform at a minimum of thirty percent of the nameplate kilowatt rating during the test, it must be tested annually for two continuous hours under supplied load (i.e. loadbank testing). Guidelines for NFPA generator testing are contained in NFPA 110.
In addition to being tested by NFPA guidelines, hospital generators must be tested according to Joint Commission standard EC 7.40.
Infrared Testing
Performed annually, infrared testing uses an infrared scanner to detect abnormal heat patterns that indicate problems in electrical components. Often, these problems are just developing, and can be resolved while they are inexpensive to repair. In addition to being affordable, infrared testing is also expedient; an Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS) can usually be scanned in a day.
Arc Flash Analysis
Arc flash analysis is performed when significant electrical changes are made to a facility. It is also performed to assess the safety of switchgear. A facility whose EPSS is isolated by medium voltage switchgear can benefit from having the switchgear inspected annually for arc flash potential.
Does Your Facility Need the Services Above?
If so, Prime Power, the premier power service in Georgia, is ready to help. For over twenty-five years, Prime Power has supplied commercial and industrial facilities with the services their electrical systems need to perform efficiently, reliably, and safely.
At Prime Power, we know an EPSS is an important investment that protects the business of a company. To help protect that investment, call us today to schedule generator maintenance, generator testing, infrared testing, arc flash analysis, or other power generation services.

Tourist Attractions:
Kamala Basadi
The Kamal Basadi has been built in the later Chalukya style. It has a tiered roof over the shrine. It was built in 1204 AD during the period of Kartavirya IV of the Ratta dynasty. It was built by his minister Bichirja. There are two pillars here that bear Kannada inscriptions; one is of the period Kartavirya IV and another of the period of Seluva Krishna.
This town is home to a number of historical monuments and temples and is 40 km from Belagavi. Halasi is in the background of the Western Ghats, and was the second capital of the Kadambas of Banavasi. The huge Bhuvaraha Narasimha templehas tall images of Varaha, Narasimha, Narayana and Surya. The place has a fort, and temples of Gokarneshswara, Kapileshwara, Swarneshwara and Hatakeshwara.
Kittur Fort
Kittur fort located 45km from Belagavi was built by Allappa Gowda Sardesai, the ruler of the Desai dynasty between 1650 and 1681. It was held by Rani Chennamma, a woman warrior of Karnataka who revolted against the British in 1824. There is archaeological museum at the location which is managed by the state department of archaeology and museums, Government of Karnataka.
Gokak Falls
At this place Ghataprabha river takes a plunge of 52 metres over the sand-stone cliff amidst a picturesque gorge of the rugged valley, resembling Niagara Falls on a smaller scale. The waterfall is horse shoe shaped at the crest, with a flood breadth of 177 metres. There is a hanging bridge across the river, measuring about 201 metres. There is an old electricity generation station and electricity was generated here for the first time in 1887.
One interesting feature of this place is the monuments from the Chalukya era that are found on either bank of the rocky gorge. Another attraction of this place is the very old river-front temple dedicated to Lord Mahalingeshwara, built in the Later Chalukya style of architecture.
Amboli Ghats
Amboli Ghat is a mountain pass in western ghats. The famous hill station of Amboli lies on this ghat. Amboli is just 70km away from Belagavi. This ghat receives heavy rainfall and is surrounded by thick forest, waterfalls and beautiful natural landscape.
Goa is famous for its beaches and places of worship, and tourism is its primary industry. This relatively small state is situated on the western coast of India, between the borders of Maharashtra and Karnataka and is better known to the world as a former Portuguese enclave on Indian soil. Major tourist attractions include: Bom Jesus Basilica, Fort Aguada, a wax museum on Indian culture and a heritage museum. The Churches and Convents of Goa have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Goa is known for virtually uninterrupted string of golden-sand beaches. Panjim the capital city of Goa is 120km from Belagavi.

Thank you, Robert Roper, for your review of the latest reissue of Jack London's stories (Dec. 2): I always welcome a good word for this great writer. Laudatory though you were, however, I think you still missed the major reason for London's appeal.
I agree when you say his best work reads like the product of "a lonely, word-crazed boy of about 12, who . . . finds himself possessed of verbal resources of an authentic narrative genius." And that London appeals to us because we all have in us that 12-year-old who "can get solidly behind the idea of life as (a) harsh and thrilling test."
But you need to carry your idea one step further. The heart of the reason that Jack London evokes in us the memory of a 12-year-old's view of the world is because that is the world we associate with life that is unfettered and lived day-to-day. And I would argue that the magnetism of London's writing is rooted in the instinctual pull we all feel to a natural world where actions are directly and ineluctably linked to survival.
I think today many dismiss London for the very reason you laud him: They see him as somehow juvenile, as dealing with issues like starvation and freezing to death--issues that have, as these detractors would have us believe, no currency in our modern lives. But when our modern lives measure danger as sitting in the front row of the Shamu performance at Sea World, and adventure as girding our loins to ride Splash Mountain at Disneyland, I would lobby it's time to give Mr. London top billing. For he is the real thing: the only major literary figure in the outdoor genre since Herman Melville (and I am including Hemingway) who lived what he wrote.

With X-Men: First Class having hit theaters this weekend we thought it appropriate to take a closer look at the X-Men movies. The movies have become a continuum all unto themselves. Still we have to ask: where exactly does X-Men: First Class fit into the other movies? Does it follow the timelines and stories set up in the original trilogy? Does it have the core essentials from the comics? That is what we are going to explore.
Taking a Look at the X-Men Movies7 Jun
One Response to "Taking a Look at the X-Men Movies"
You could ignore the factual details of the movie. Except for Hugh Jackman, the movie could be treated as an entirely independent arc (All Wolverine movies for that matter). The movie… was bad. The character definitions.. sucked. WHAT were they doing to Mystique? ..and I did a total WTF when she starts randomly naming the characters. The names and origins are significant. You can change it around and mix it up. Thats cool. But standards. They lost all of that. As a purist, this might be a little harsh. Maybe even narrow-minded. But there are elements they did not pick up. So much they ignored and more that they messed up. X-Men:First Class. The most disappointing movie in the series yet. (i actually enjoyed X2 and X3. Wolverine:Origins was an effin' spoof)

Request a brochure for more information on our wide range of adventure holidays.
View our latest travel disruption updates due to Coronavirus here
I am thinking of booking the Discover Ethiopia holiday for Oct 2008. I will be a single woman travelling on my own but am fit and used to travelling alone, but have never been to Africa. Does anyone who has been to Ethiopia have any advice on the holiday and how I would find it travelling alone.
Hi Gillian, the great thing about travelling as part of an Exodus group is that you are not travelling alone. A local leader will be with you throughout the trip, as well as drivers and assistants when required. Ethiopia is still opening up to tourism and you, as a traveller, do need to have a sense of adventure, flexibility and sensitivity to local customs but it is a fascinating place with a unique culture, history and some extraordinary scenery - I would certainly recommend experiencing what this country has to offer.
I hope this helps in answering your query.
Lesley (Africa Product, Exodus)
I recently travelled with Exodus to Kenya as a woman on my own. This was during the civil unrest that followed the presidential elections. I felt completely safe throughout the trip largely due to the excellent trip leader. I am just making my final decision about which African country I will go to next. Book it!
I did Discover Ethiopia last year, and LOVED it. There was a new highlight every day. No problems about going on your own. Lots of our group did. Do go for the Meskal departure. The festival is really magic.

Diets for overweight cats
It happens that a cat, just like a human, is overweight. To decrease the risk of illnesses linked to this weight gain, it is important to put it on a diet. However, the chosen diet but be well thought by the owner and the animal's veterinary.
1. A balanced diet
It is useless to deprive the cat of food during its diet. However, it is important to reduce treats, which are full of calories and to increase low fat food which are full of fibres. Usually, those kinds of meals do not satisfy cats as they do not find their meals palatable. This is why it is advised to choose a diet high in proteins. It will compensate the decrease in fat, will avoid food and amino acids deficiencies and makes the food more palatable. However, it is advised to calculate the amount of food needed with a veterinary.
2. A hydration to supervise
The cat, just like human, may feel satisfaction by drinking a lot of water. This is why it is always important to give a high amount of water to your cat. A high water consumption will help its metabolism and will help it to quickly burn calories.
3. Exercise for an active cat
"Exercise" is the keyword for an efficient diet for the cat. It is important that its owner spends some time playing with it. Hence, the cat will be active and will burn calories. The cat will not spend its time getting bored and thinking about food and, over time, its appetite will decrease.

Post subject: Anybody remember the Colonial?
Here's a place I stayed at number of times. I always enjoyed it - close to the Sands and the Comstock and not too far from the rest of town. It had great potential - nice restaurant, bar, clean rooms and friendly staff. No elevator unfortunately. And I didn't realize, until I took a good look at this 30 year old postcard last night, it had a pool. The casino was pretty small and must have had some of the very first video poker machines of the line. There was one blackjack table which normally displayed three blackjack video machines. In the evenings they would put a proper blackjack board and felt over the screens and deal live 21 while the "crowds" warranted it.
It's been a WorldMark time share for probably 20 years.
There was a second smaller location on West Street (one block closer to downtown) it was more of a motel with an itsy-bitsy casino. That location is now the Colonial Garden Court Apartments.

Post subject: Colonial Inn
Yes I remember the Colonial. They were some of the last coin in coin out mechanical machines that dropped coins and SOUNDED like a casino. AND they always had a Prime rib dinner special...."Buy one, get one with coupon" but the coupon was always in the free "Best Bests" paper... back when Best Bets was several dozen pages. But their parking garage had the smallest parking spots.
I think I had a car bumper dinged in their garage.

So this one never became another casino, just turned into another residential project?
I would not have seen it while stumbling around Reno in the early-to-mid-'90's? I ask only because memories of that time are very pleasant, but a bit hazy...

Post subject: Colonial History
Thanks to John, I have this wonderful book -
'The Rise Of The Biggest Little City'
It's a great historical reference for all things and people who have been involved with Reno's gaming industry. According to the book, the Colonial opened in 1966 and went through a significant expansion in 1977. Along the way a couple of 21 tables were added to their 80 slot machines, but in 1998 the casino was licensed for slots only. Unfortunately the book was published in 1999 so I can't tell you when the Colonial closed it's casino doors and became a time share. (Blech!)
So Stan, the short answer to your question would be you probably did walk, run or stumble by The Colonial in the mid 90's. I too, was a victim of that lovely haze. I'm glad I took pictures and have a few books and the internet to fill in some of the blanks.
Incidentally, 'The Rise Of The Biggest Little City' by Dwayne Kling is available through VisitReno's store

This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin handed the German Government a final note stating that, unless we heard from them by eleven o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland, a state of war would exist between us.Neville Chamberlain
"Arthur Neville Chamberlain" Fellow of the Royal Society/FRS was a British Conservative Party (UK)/Conservative politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940. Chamberlain is best known for his appeasement foreign policy, and in particular for his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding the German-populated Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany/Germany. However when Adolf Hitler continued his aggression by invasion of Poland/invading Poland, Britain declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, and Chamberlain led Britain through the first eight months of World War II.If you enjoy these quotes, be sure to check out other famous politicians! More Neville Chamberlain on Wikipedia.
We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analyzing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a program would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators.Neville Chamberlain

Five Reasons Why Westfield Hearts Uber
By Liam La Guerre August 31, 2017 5:21 pmreprints
Westfield Corporation, the Australian-based mall and shopping center behemoth, announced today a partnership with Uber to host taxi stands and kiosks at its 33 United States locations.
Each shopping center will come equipped with between one and 10 Uber stations, according to a Westfield news release about the partnership. At Westfield Century City in Los Angeles, there will be an "Uber Lounge" with complimentary beverages and phone charging stations. The program will begin rolling out in Westfield locations starting in the fall (official dates have yet to be announced).
If it sounds like a slightly strange partnership—because why would the two companies expend time and effort for something like this, when it apparently doesn't preclude rivals like Lyft or the old-fashioned yellow cab from getting fares at a Westfield property—you're not thinking clearly about what the two companies want from each other.
Commercial Observer spoke to industry experts to learn why this makes sense for both companies.
It Serves Uber's Strategy of Getting Everybody Hooked on Uber.
Uber is "just getting people used to the concept [of rider sharing]," Rebecca Lindland, an executive analyst for Kelley Blue Book, told CO. "For many people using ride sharing is very easy, but it's still a way to get many new people to experience Uber in a comfortable environment."
Westfield Is Future-Proofing Its Malls.
"I'd say that Westfield is understanding that we are moving into an experience economy," Kate Newlin of Newlin Consulting, a brand consultant for retailers, said. "And many times what that means is alcohol. It makes it likely that you can hang out longer with fine dining and have more of an experience and get an Uber home."
Newlin added: "Companies oftentimes have to solve problems that don't yet exist. If they are preparing for fewer McDonalds and fewer food courts and more white tablecloth restaurants and more experience venues, then it will emerge as a good thing."
Think: Suburbs.
"It also takes Uber out of the city," Lindland said. "This is a way to infiltrate the suburban area and get people more comfortable with Uber. It's going to put tons of pressure on taxis. There is tons of opportunity. The suburban and rural locations are still underserved. There are still plenty of places where Uber is not ubiquitous."
And any way to break into a new market is good. "When I saw the headline, I thought about Saudi Arabia, where Uber invested heavily, and women can't drive," Lindland said. "So it could be a model for that. It's just another way that they are innovating."
This Is Something a Mall Desperately Needs.
When was the last time you tried to hail a cab or meet an Uber from a mall? If you've tried recently, you'd know that the single biggest pain in the posterior is trying to secure a meeting point between yourself and a driver in a sprawling complex with a lot of other cars surrounding it. Designated Uber spots is the perfect salve for this.
A Little Distraction Never Hurt Nobody.
This was announced as the news was still warm that Uber was designating Dara Khosrowshahi, the former chief executive officer of Expedia, as its new CEO. This big change comes after Uber Co-Founder Travis Kalanick stepped down from the post following a legal dispute involving the alleged theft of self-driving car data from Waymo, a spinoff division from Google, not to mention being skewered for allegedly catering to a workplace culture that was rampant with sexism. While the release about the partnership with Westfield indicates that the two companies had been at work on this deal since at least the beginning of the year, a harmless piece of marketing is always welcome.

There are many myths about the influenza vaccination. We have outlined the most common ones below.
You cannot get the flu from the vaccine as it does not contain any live viruses.
However, some people will experience mild side effects such as muscle aches or headaches for a short time after immunisation. This is a normal reaction.
Anyone can catch the flu and pass it on to whanau or friends.
The flu and common cold are caused by different viruses.
The flu can leave you bed-bound for weeks, require hospitalisation and be life-threatening.
For all these resources and more go to www.influenza.org.nz/resources
Influenza is different from the common cold and includes the following symptoms:
You can spread the flu to people, including your family/whanau and friends, who are at most risk of complications.
Influenza, commonly called the 'flu', can be a serious illness that is sometimes fatal and can infect up to 1 in 5 of us every year. While general health affects the severity of an infection, the influenza virus is contagious and anyone can become infected.
Up to 400 deaths each year in New Zealand are related to influenza infection.
The strains of influenza virus that reach New Zealand each year are usually different from the season before. The virulence of strains can vary from year to year or a new strain can emerge to which people are not immune.
Annual immunisation is recommended for two reasons:
Immunity develops after you have been exposed to a particular strain of the virus through infection or immunisation. Influenza immunisation prepares and boosts your immune system to help you fight the influenza viruses expected to be circulating each year.
Seasonal influenza vaccinations are recognised as being the single most effective way of reducing the impact of seasonal influenza – especially for those most at risk of complications. This can be particularly true for the elderly.
Stop the flu before it gets you. Get immunised. Don't spread the flu to you family and friends. Immunisation may be FREE for you. Ask your doctor or nurse today.
Influenza is caused by three types of influenza virus – A, B and C that infect the respiratory system. Influenza is contagious and is spread by coughing, sneezing and direct contact with an infected person or by touching a contaminated surface.
Influenza virus can be a serious illness that is sometimes fatal. Infection with the influenza virus may lead to a stay in hospital for any age group but particularly if you are very young, elderly, or have an ongoing medical condition. Influenza can make an existing medical condition such as asthma or diabetes, a lot worse.
Influenza continues to be a major threat to public health world wide because of its ability to spread rapidly through populations as epidemics.
Influenza can be a much more serious illness than a common cold.Influenza can leave you ill for up to 10 days. Most people suffer from a high fever, tiredness and may require bed rest. Some may also suffer shivering attacks, muscular pains, headaches, a dry cough, vomiting and diarrhea.
Complications, like pneumonia can follow. Immunisation against influenza is the best protection.
A cold has much less severe symptoms and generally lasts 2-4 days. High fever is less common and shivering attacks and severe headaches are rare. Muscular pains and vomiting are infrequent and the cough is less severe.There is currently no vaccine available for colds.
Influenza virus is different from a cold virus. A cold virus infects only the nose, throat and upper chest and only lasts for a few days.
No. You cannot get influenza from the vaccine. The vaccine is made from inactivated virus that is broken apart so that it cannot cause an infection. Many people confuse colds with influenza. Many other viruses are also present throughout the year, so people may catch a different respiratory infection with 'flu-like' symptoms and unfairly blame the influenza vaccine or influenza virus. Sometimes people can catch influenza before the vaccine has had time to generate protection (about two weeks).
Being fit and healthy will not protect you from influenza. Influenza spreads easily and by immunising against influenza you can protect yourself and lessen the chance of bringing it home to a baby, older relative or someone with a medical condition who could develop serious complications.
Get immunised as soon as possible after the vaccine becomes available (vaccine is usually available from March). It takes up to two weeks to develop immunity. Ideally, you should be vaccinated before the main influenza activity in May to September. High risk individuals can be immunised any time during the influenza season, but the vaccine is only free until 31 December.
Eligible people can get a free vaccination from their General Practice, and it is usually the practice nurse who administers the vaccine. The vaccine is injected into the upper arm. For children 6 months to 15 months, it is injected into the upper thigh.
From 2017 some community pharmacies provide free influenza vaccinations to:
• individuals aged 65 years and older
• pregnant women (any trimester)
Those not eligible for free vaccination: influenza vaccination is available from your local General Practice, Accident and Medical Centre or workplace Occupational Health Service. Please contact your provider regarding vaccination charges.
Yes. The vaccination is approved for children 6 months and over and is especially recommended if they have ongoing medical condition such as being on a preventive medication for asthma. Check with your doctor for details.
Yes. (See all resources here)
The seasonal influenza vaccine is strongly recommended for women who will be pregnant during the influenza season. Where possible, vaccines are usually given only in the second and third trimesters because vaccination with the influenza vaccine has been shown to be highly beneficial for pregnant women and their unborn babies. New Zealand is not alone in this recommendation, influenza vaccination for all pregnant women is currently recommended by health authorities in the USA, Australia and many European countries. Immunisation is free for pregnant women wishing to have the influenza vaccine.
Experience from previous seasonal influenza outbreaks showed that pregnant women are at greater risk from complications associated with influenza.
There are a range of changes that occur during pregnancy which may put pregnant women at higher risk of complications frominfluenza. These include changes to the lung function including decreased lung capacity; increased cardiac output and oxygen consumption, and changes to the immune response.
Because of the above changes, pregnant women with existing medical conditions are at even greater risk of severe influenza-related illness. When pregnancy is superimposed on high-risk conditions such as asthma or diabetes mellitus, influenza infection associated illness is 3-4 times greater than for non-pregnant women.
Maternal influenza infection has been associated with an increased risk of maternal hospitalisation and other illnesses. A small number of these women and babies die.
Vaccination of pregnant women against influenza has been shown to decrease the incidence of influenza in their newborn babies. Influenza in young infants often prompts hospitalisation and can predispose infants to bacterial pneumonia or otitis media (Middle ear infections).
For more frequently Asked Questions about Influenza Vaccination and Pregnancy visit www.fightflu.co.nz
Yes. The vaccine may be safely given to woman who is breastfeeding.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) takes influenza very seriously. Each year the WHO Information Surveillance Network studies the different strains of influenza and monitors their movements around the globe. They then decide which strains of the virus are likely to emerge in different parts of the world and develop vaccinations for them.
The influenza virus has many types. Each year the World Health Organisation (WHO) makes recommendations for the strains that are in the influenza vaccine and the strains that should be circulating around New Zealand.
The 2020 influenza vaccine includes four strains of inactivated influenza virus, of which three are new:
- B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus
- A/Brisbane/02/2018 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus*
- A/South Australia/34/2019 (H3N2)-like virus*
- B/Washington/02/2019-like virus*
*Not included in the 2019 influenza vaccine
The vaccine cannot give you influenza as it only contains fragments of the virus. The vaccine stimulates the immune system to make antibodies that protect against circulating viruses. Most people have no reaction to the vaccine. Occasionally the site where the vaccination was given is red or sore for a day or two. Some people may feel unwell for a day or two. These are normal responses to the immunisation. Severe reactions such as anaphylaxis are rare and occur in one to two cases per million vaccines given.
Influenza vaccination is about 80% effective in preventing infection with influenza A and B viruses in healthy adults under 65 years of age, when there is a good match between vaccine and circulating influenza strains.
It takes up to two weeks for the vaccine to start providing protection.
No. It does not contain thiomersal (or any other mercury product).
Ask your doctor or nurse about influenza immunisation
Make sure you give yourself and your family the best protection against influenza.

What is Computer Lab?
A computer lab is a space which provides computer services to a defined community. Computer labs are typically provided by libraries to the public, by academic institutions to students who attend the institution or by other institutions to the public or to people affiliated with that institution.
While computer labs are generally multipurpose, some labs may contain computers with hardware or software optimized for certain tasks or processes, depending on the needs of the institution operating the lab. These specialized purposes include but may not be limited to video editing, 3-D design, and programming.
Our moto towards Computer Lab:
Information Technology (IT) is an integral part of DAV curriculum. In this age of Computer Technology, an early exposure to the basics of computer, readies the child for the future and also helps the child to overcome any inhibitions they might have towards computer usage.
The school has a policy of one computer per child and the school computer lab is adequately equipped for the same. Internet connectivity is provided to the students, teachers and staff in the adjacent Internet lab. Teachers assist children in seeking out information, creating multimedia content, collaborating on project work and presenting the knowledge gathered from multiple sources.

Aware that in many cases its products are only one of the components of a finished product, LANZI has always set itself the goal of creating a detail that makes a technical and aesthetic difference.
This is also demonstrated by the recent study carried out in collaboration with Professor Pierandrea Lo Nostro and Professor Moira Ambrosi of the "Ugo Schiff" Chemistry Department of the University of Florence, as part of the research tender E-LASTIC (Project financed with Tuscan POR FESR 2014-2020), aimed at the implementation of "Industry 4.0" production processes.
Nanoparticles of Silver Nitrate, in a concentration of 1:10000, were added to the solution normally used for the finishing of elastics, or for the "dressing" treatment that occurs after the weaving process and before packaging.
Three bacterial strains were tested on the samples thus obtained: Staphylococcus Aureus, Staphylococcus Haemolyticus and Staphylococcus Xylosus. Laboratory analysis revealed an inhibition ring surrounding the elastic tape fragment: in all cases, the bacteria do not grow close to the tissue, but are eliminated up to a certain distance from the edge.

A Clear Guide to Buying Personalised Number Plates
Personalized number plates are unique in nature. To have one, you will have to dig deep inside your pocket. Private number plates come in different prices depending on the number and letter combination which are usually initials or phrases.
Since these number plates majorly say something about the owner of the vehicle, you need to choose something that you like or talks more about you. For this reason, you first need to know the main reason why you need the personalized number plate when going to buy one. It can speak about your organization or even something more personal. The most essential thing is that I serves its function. To for one, you will only need to play with few letters and numerals here and there to have a list of options that you can choose from.
After deciding on the best private number plate, you will now need to check your budget. You should know how much you can manage to spend on it. Not having a precise amount in mind can lead to overspending. Once you decide n ted get and the number plate combination, the next step should be gathering market information about the process and how these types of number plates are perceived in your area.

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a super-hydrophobic surface that can be used to generate electrical voltage. When salt water flows over this specially patterned surface, it can produce at least 50 millivolts. The proof-of-concept work could lead to the development of new power sources for lab-on-a-chip platforms and other microfluidics devices. It could someday be extended to energy harvesting methods in water desalination plants, researchers said.

A team of researchers led by Prab Bandaru, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering, and first author Bei Fan, a graduate student in Prof. Bandaru's research group, recently published their work, "Enhanced voltage generation through electrolyte flow on liquid filled surfaces," in Nature Communications.
According to information, the main idea behind this work is to create electrical voltage by moving ions over a charged surface. And the faster you can move these ions, the more voltage you can generate, explained Prof. Bandaru.
Prof. Bandaru's team created a surface so hydrophobic that it enables water (and any ions it carries) to flow faster when passing over. The surface also holds a negative charge, so a rapid flow of positive ions in salt water with respect to this negatively charged surface results in an electrical potential difference, creating an electrical voltage.
The surface was made by etching tiny ridges into a silicon substrate and then filling the ridges with oil (such as synthetic motor oil used for lubrication). In tests, dilute salt water was transported by syringe pump over the surface in a microfluidic channel, and then the voltage was measured across the ends of the channel.
There have been previous reports on super-hydrophobic, or so-called "lotus leaf" surfaces designed to speed up fluid flow at the surface. However, these surfaces have so far been patterned with tiny air pockets—and since air does not hold charge, the result is a smaller electric potential difference and thus, a smaller voltage. By replacing air with a liquid like synthetic oil—which holds charge and won't mix with salt water—Prof. Bandaru and Fan created a surface that produces at least 50 percent more electrical voltage than previous designs. According to Prof. Bandaru, higher voltages may also be obtained through faster liquid velocities and narrower and longer channels.
This work was supported by the National Science Foundation (CMMI 1246800 and CBET 1606192).

From May 6-9, nineteen Middle School students travelled with Franck Bessone and me to the Dallas Multilingual Theatre Festival hosted by the Dallas International School. We had been working on a remount of the production of Liberté ou la mort: The Story of Toussaint L'ouverture and the Haitian Revolution, an original play developed by the eighth-grade class of 2014
through a multidisciplinary project that involved Histoire/Géographie, French, English, and Theater classes.
After the success of last year's show I was approached
by then Middle School Principal, Mireille Rabaté, to
consider taking this show to the Dallas Festival. After
Mireille's departure to London in November, current
Middle School Principal, Antoine Delaitre, continued
with the same enthusiastic support. In March of this
year we began our rehearsals with a new group of very
talented and dedicated students.
Prior to leaving for the festival we performed twice:
once as a sneak preview for families and friends of students in the show, and then a second time at the Middle
School Arts Evening. But the big show, the one we were
gearing up for, would take place in Dallas.
Other schools participating in this year's festival were
the French American School of San Diego, the Russian
School of Dallas, and, of course, the Dallas International
School. We performed to a full house of students and
teachers from these schools and I have to say, this was
the best performance yet. Our students were focused,
engaging and didn't skip a beat. I was very proud of
them. The audience loved the show, and left chanting
"liberté ou la mort!" after the final bow.
But the festival was not only about taking a performance to Dallas. There were also a number of physical
theatre workshops that were organized by the festival as
well. These were great. We participated in workshops
for stage combat, circus arts, clowning, and mime. It
was wonderful to watch the students not only bond with
each other, but also make many new friends from different schools. Each workshop had great moments but the
stage combat workshop (where they were taught how to
hit, choke, and kick each other) resulted in some very
entertaining video footage.
After our return to San Francisco I met with the students one last time to talk about the trip and ask them
what did they liked or disliked about the experience.
Their answers were simple, but very telling. What did
they like? "Everything." What did they dislike? "
Noth-ing," they told me. "We want more!" In short, a great
time was had by all.
There are many people to thank: the parents for their
support, the Dallas International School for creating the
event, Franck Bessone for chaperoning and working with
me on the show, Mireille Rabaté and Antoine Delaitre
for input and support, Raquel Constenla for much traveling advice, Jeff François, Dan Harder, Kathy Halter, and
Catherine Santos de Silva for taking time in their classes
to work on the development of the script, and Mouna
Harifi who came up with the idea in the first place.
The historical pertinence of our students' work was
evident just days after their Dallas visit, when François
Hollande became the first French President to make a
formal visit to Haiti. During his visit, Hollande stated,
"There is a moral debt that exists" with Haiti, once
France's most profitable colony.
