This just reminds us how much goes into making these games we may take for granted. ...and the cool stuff devs have to do. ;)
I'm going through another play through of original to prepare for HR, can't wait for to come out, it seems developers are on the right track to deliver an amazing game. All the previews i saw so far have been very positive, and all of them said the most important thing, that Human Revolution feels like a true Deus Ex game.

A sewage authority in New Jersey will use electricity from a nearby power plant in exchange for treated wastewater that will be used to cool the generation plant, allowing the wastewater plant to operate independently of the regional power grid.
The Camden County Municipal Utiliites Authority (CCMUA) and Covanta Camden Energy Recovery Center are forming what is being termed a "sustainability loop" is part of a multi-year project to reduce energy costs and to convert its Delaware River waterfront facility to renewable energy.
According to govtech.com, the Camden project was among 13 "microgrid" projects that received funding for feasibility studies in June from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. CCMUA received $150,000 of more than $2 million distributed for the projects.
"This project will not only help the environment and get the CCMUA off the grid, but it will also save about $600,000 in annual electricity costs," Camden County Freeholder Jeff Nash told govtech.com.
Camden County, located in the southwestern part of the state, treats 58 million gallons of sewage daily at their plant for a population of about half a million, the CCMUA website says. The deal with Covanta is part of a larger plan to get the sewage treatment facility off the power grid. In addition to solar panels that have already been installed, the county plans to add $30 million biogas digesters, the Courier-Post reported.
A feasibility study for construction of the underground lines needed to deliver wastewater and power is set to be completed next year, the Inquirer reported. The community microgrid project received $150,000 in feasibility study funding from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities in June. Kricun said publicly that he expects the new lines between the plants to go online in 2019.

Sorry for the late response man... :/
Welcome one, Welcome all! To the wondiferous debate regarding Mobile Applications or "Apps" and the only type of code I can actually program! (HTML) Now regarding my stance to the issue at hand:
I would say that it is not only "better" to use websites through browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer (I believe they're on 9 now...) but that it is more convienent and effective to do so.
As you have not issued out to whether or not this debate is limited to cellular devices I shall infer that I can also use technology that has the ability to open web browsers or the ability to navigate the web.
C1: App Opening v. Entering a Website
After consideration for the way I would conduct these experiments I found out that I could not test the speed at which an app opens due to my lack of a cell phone and have instead decided to use fairly recent recordings for a Generation 5 Nexus and a Generation 6 Iphone vs what a Personal Computer could do. For the sake of accuracy I used the same Site as used in the videos
1st Trial PC Browser: Loaded almost instantaneously (Facebook)
1st Trial Nexus 5 app: 1sec load time (Facebook)[1]
1st Trial iPhone 6 app: 2sec load time (Facebook)[1]
Now, let's explain why Facebook had loaded almost instantaneously.
The Website was preloaded and unfortunately Apps cannot do this.
Even after closing out of a webpage a user can easily navigate back almost instantly due to pre-loading. Apps can't preform this function and when you close out of them they will not be able to load instantly which is quite unfortunate.
Onto you Pro.

As you start to receive your natural gas bills for the winter months, you might see noticeable increases. Some bills may have doubled or tripled from December. Here are some of the most common reasons for rising natural gas bills this winter.
- Monthly rate increase. For example, the regulated rate for natural gas, as approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC), increased from $2.579 GJ in December 2016 to $3.745 GJ in January 2017.
- Consumption increase. The cold weather coupled with more time spent at home during the winter season would typically contribute to higher usage (above the average of 20 GJ/month) and an increase on the retailer portion of the bill.
- Transmission and distribution charges (T&D). Distributor's costs for transmission and delivery of gas to your home have both a fixed and variable component, based on usage, and are the largest portion of your bill. In the winter, these charges can be approximately 65% of the total cost of the bill.
- Carbon Levy. As of January 1, 2017, the Government of Alberta charges a carbon levy of $1.011/GJ that is included in the T&D section of your natural gas bill.
Questions or Concerns?
If you have questions specifically about retail charges and your natural gas usage, please contact your retailer directly.
If you have specific questions or concerns about transmission and distribution charges, please contact the distributor directly or the Utilities Consumer Advocate (UCA) at 310-4822 .

Bashar Al-Assad talks reforms, practices mayhem.
Saturday July 2, 2011
Official death toll from Friday rises to 31: Damascus (2), Homs (8), Idlib (19 / 6 in Jabal Al-Zawiyeh, 7 in Al-Rami, 4 in Kafar Maya, 1 in Sanqoul,1, 1 in Al-Sarjah), Lattakia (1) and Aleppo (1)… Assad sacks Hama Governor, Ahmad Khalid Abdulazeez, for failure to control the situation in the city … State begins deducting 500 Syrian pounds out of employees' monthly salaries as an "automatic donation" to support the pound …
The sacking was seen as the latest attempt by Al Assad to weed out potential weak links in his ruling system and possibly signal a renewed crackdown on the city.
"President Bashar al-Asad's promises of new laws allowing more political participation ring hollow when security forces are still above the most basic laws," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch.
Yaser Tabbara may live half a world away from Syria, where he grew up. But as the uprising there continues, the Chicago lawyer has mounted a one-man legal and diplomatic assault against the Syrian regime to highlight the brutality of its response and help depose President Bashar al-Assad.
The work Monitor Group did with Asma al-Assad was naive in light of Syria's crackdown on protests, critics say.
Attend the Nation's Largest Rally in Solidarity with the Syrian People – July 3rd 4:00pm - 7:00pm, Downtown Chicago, 232 Ohio St. Chicago, IL
The current gambit for the Assads: Make a show of confidence to garner support for the upcoming reform package that will effectively leave them in charge. This is what Bashar and Asmaa's first public appearance together since the beginning of the Revolution is meant to invoke. The sales pitch is being made, and the media blitz meant to facilitate it is under way.
But of course, since the plan is to reassert control not lose it, Hama City needs to be brought under control, again.
Around 300 tanks are currently on their way to Hama to reassert Assad control over the restive city and its suburbs
Hama City: protesters march on Saturday to reiterate their commitment to Assad's departure
Hama City: protesters on evening of July 2nd sing and tell Bashar to "leave," on account of the rampant corruption of his family and his officials, and the blood of the martyrs that has been spilled.
Meanwhile, Syrian state TV continues to speak of armed gangs, blaming all violence on them.
Bearing all this in mind, and with 31 deaths reported on Friday, what did exactly change in terms of tactics to warrant all this chatter in international quarters regarding Bashar's intentions to introduce "serious" reforms? Someone must be reading some interesting hasheesh leaves.
It took them a while, as usual, but the Assads seem to have finally landed on a coherent strategy, one that focuses on playing up the reform card through certain acts of showmanship and political theater designed to attract the attention of international media, while the violent crackdown continues in the background.
The shift to this strategy is a sign of weakness, nonetheless, and that's a message to the protesters to keep the pressures on and keep marching on. It's all about the will to stay the course now.
Homs City: Activist with camera gets shot by a security officer. In the beginning, the activist says that security officers are firing at people in the streets even though there are no demonstrations. Few seconds later, he himself gets shot as he catches a security officer on camera pointing a gun at him from a street corner.
Homs City: scenes from yesterday's crackdown
Ambulances used to detain protesters
Damascus / Harasta: "There is no god but God, Assad is the enemy of God" "the people want to topple the regime" "Say it loud: we either live in dignity or we perish"

Yes, it's true, my family and I will be going on vacation tomorrow, to a place undisclosed to anyone except me. Sure, they know we are going somewhere but don't know where that somewhere actually is. So, since they view this blog daily I will not be able to disclose any details except when. And, the only reason I am doing that is so when you don't see me posting you don't think I'm dead or something. As a bonus, I might even tell y'all about it when I get back. Deal? This short vacation will not only affect The Sting Of The Scorpion Blog but will also mean I will not be posting on Guide To Ball Pythons as well. I do have a post for the Guide that will post today and, of course, I'm not done here yet either. Hopefully y'all will not miss me too much and realize I'll be back real soon.

Good Morning November 1st 2013
I was presented with this spectacular sight this morning while I was out on my back deck waiting to go to work. The area that looks like it is glowing is directly over the river that is behind my house. There is nothing else in that direction for many, many miles. I took a picture thinking it was cool and just wanted to share. So, now y'all can get back to your regularly scheduled day.

The Benefits of Outsourced IT Support
Control your IT Support Costs
- IT Support outsourcing companies are able to provide IT services for cheaper than doing it in-house. Our Managed IT Support agreements provide a fixed price level allowing for predictability for budgeting and financial planning.
- An IT Support agreement will include the ability to cover for holidays and other IT related issues.
Improved service levels
- IT Support Outsourcing companies have the knowledge and means to be able to purchase new IT systems at the right price. IT Support outsourcing can dramatically reduce the time to market for certain products by allowing a company to accelerate development by utilising extra resources on ad hoc basis.
Reduce Labour Costs
- Hiring and training IT Support staff can be very expensive, and employees don't always live up to your expectations. Outsourcing lets you focus your human resources where you need them most.
Trained, Experienced, Qualified, Certified IT Support Technicians
- If your staff is not IT trained, what do you do? Outsource your IT functions to our qualified, experienced IT Support staff.
Qualified doesn't Mean Experienced
- Chances are your problem has been solved by us previously for another client, allowing quick, efficient resolution of your IT problem.
Quickly Implement New Technology
- We have the resources and flexibility to start new projects very quickly. Handling the same project in-house might involve weeks or months.
Stay Focused on Your Core Business
- Outsourcing your IT Support function can help your business stay focused on your core business and not get distracted by complex IT problems. In rapid growth periods, the back-office operations of a company will expand also. This expansion may start to consume resources at the expense of the core activities that have made your company successful.
Compliance and Security
- Is your firewall up to date? Do you audit your Workstations and Servers? Do you check your antivirus status regularly? Our outsourced IT Support services include these aspects to give you peace-of-mind
What Types of IT Support do we Offer?
- As a business owner, you are constantly looking for ways to minimise IT support costs while maximising IT uptime. As a result we offer various types of IT support services to fit in with your requirements and budget:
- This type of IT support has been very common in the IT services industry since IT support became a industry. It is also known as "Time and Materials" IT support or call out based IT support. The concept behind this type of IT support is that the customer pays for the materials as well as pays our hourly rate rate when they you a problem. It is useful for small companies of 5 users or less who have infrequent IT problems, and when they do they can afford to be down for several hours if need-be. It is not suitable for larger companies or in a company downtime costs the company a significant amount of money. It is also referred to as a break-fix IT support model as something needs to break first to warrant a call out and that is not a very effective way to deal with IT
Block Hours
- Block Hours is basically a way to purchase a bunch of hours upfront at an agreed price. We agree on the rate with you beforehand and you are free to use those hours when needed. We offer a discounted rate on our IT services depending on the amount of block hours taken per month. This allows you the flexibility to use the hours as you please without doing the paperwork and the hassle of paying multiple bills. This type of IT support is good for smaller companies as it provides an overall saving on the monthly spend on IT services averaged out over time. It is still, however, unsuitable for companies that cannot afford downtime as we are still working on a break-fix IT support model in this instance.
Managed IT Services
- Managed IT Services means you will receive a list of well-defined IT services on an ongoing basis, with well-defined "response and resolution times" for a fixed rate or a flat fee per device. This includes 24/7 Monitoring of Servers, a Help desk for your daily computer issues and on-site visits by a technician when issues cannot be resolved remotely. We can also include backup and disaster recovery and server virtualisation in this service. This is based on a managed services model, our services are proactive in nature, rather than reactive. Using managed services, IT issues are prevented before they become problems, thus reducing down-time. Because we charge a flat monthly fee to maintain your computer IT systems, rather than an hourly break-fix model, our costs are reduced when your network and IT systems are healthy.

Where Love Leads
I used to be able to say I've lived abroad for most of my adult life. As I grow older in America, I'm losing the truth of that. Because it was once true, I still tend to think of myself as an expatriate (expat) down deep in my heart. While the depths of my heart may no longer hold that truth, it is still an integral part of my identity.
I spend a good part of my time training people how to live cross-culturally. Part of what I tell them is from my own experience. Part of what they hear is from colleague's experiences. Another part of the information they receive comes from expats I have yet to meet but either follow on twitter, find them via a blog recommendation, or read in research somewhere (generally the internet). While I'm no longer an official part of the expat community, in many ways I feel more connected to it than ever before.
Yesterday I followed a link to this article. It's worth reading, but in short it says people leave their cultural roots to go abroad for many reasons. The author says the voluntary expat (not one who moves because a government or business requires it), moves for love. Love for another person, of course, but also love for wine, a more compatible lifestyle, and an entrepreneurial opportunity.
It made me think about myself and the people I work with most closely. Why do we go? Why do we uproot ourselves from the comfortably familiar to move to the unknown? Why do we give up geographical proximity to friends and family to create new relationships in urban centers and remote corners of the world?
It's the same answer: Love. Love compels us to go. Not romantic love. Not infatuation with a pace of life. Not anything but love.
I think I John 4: 19-21 sums it up pretty well. We can and do love others because we know the love of God. He loved us so much he gave his only son, the Christ, for us. How can we not go? How can we not tell others? How can we not demonstrate this love to people who have never heard of it?
Love redeemed us. Incarnational ministry is a logical step in living out that love before others. They can't experience the love of redemption if they don't believe it. They can't believe unless they hear about it and see it in action. They can't experience it unless someone is sent to them to live out the truth of love. (My paraphrase of Romans 10:14-15.)
I know not everyone can go to the far corners of the earth. Some are meant to live love in their own country. Some are meant to partner with those who are compelled to go by praying for them, by providing the logistical and financial support they need. Others are meant to hold them up through words and acts of encouragement. It takes many villages to show the love of One to a world of many.
For the people I work with and the people who partner with me to make that work a reality, Henry Martyn's words come alive every day. He said, "The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become." Drawing near to Love urges us to leave what's near and dear so we can "be Jesus with skin on" to those who would have difficulty encountering him otherwise.
That's where Love leads me. Where does it lead you?

Buying home is one of the most important decisions for some people. So, one needs to be very careful while buying a residential property. Leading real estate developers are offering residential projects with condominiums equipped with state-of-the-art features. It is always a good idea to keep a checklist of basic infrastructural necessities anyone would require for a comfortable life. Home you plan to buy is not just four walls constructed of bricks and mortar. It is a place where you relax, feel secured when it comes to security of your family and also an investment. For investors who wish to get high return on investments via rental property also need to ensure that they can provide their prospective tenants these facilities.
Here are top ten infrastructural necessities required in a condominium.
1. Power back-up: Besides the need of fans and air conditioners in cities where the summers are too hot, even during winters, any urban household depends upon electrical appliances for carrying out daily chores. As many high rise buildings are being made, it is quintessential that there is no power failure, for it will be highly inconvenient to climb a number of stairs, to say the least.
2. Security: Its better to be safe than be sorry. Prevention is always better than cure. Real Estate developers have to ensure that the properties they offer are structurally built in a manner to avoid untoward incidents which can be prevented, be it cases which require physical security from arson, thefts or robberies or natural and accidental calamities such as earthquake or an unexpected fire. Adequate number of fire extinguisher and fire sprinklers should be there in the building to ensure full security. Latest tools and technologies should be implemented and the developers should also meet with the security measures decided as per the government policies. Security setup in some upcoming projects like IREO Skyon is quite impressive.
3. Parking Space: With an increase in the number of vehicles per family, as well as the shortage of space, it becomes convenient to select a place where there can be sufficient parking space for one's movable property.
4. Fittings: Fittings are important for utility whether these be those of gas pipelines or water pipes or electrical wiring. Some kinds of electrical fittings can help one save power. Concealed plumbing and wiring of bath and electrical fixtures respectively give a neat ambiance to the interiors.
5. Water: Water is our basic requirement and specially in summer season one can't even imagine a day without it. Round-the-clock water facility should be ensured by the developer. Many developers provide the facility of rainwater harvesting systems to ensure uninterrupted water supply whenever required. However, as it is well said, excess of everything is bad. Water logging is something no society would like to face in rainy seasons. And so, it is also important to check whether a proper drainage system is in place.
6. Flooring: The increasing demand of luxurious homes has also increased expectations of the residents. Floors of the apartment should match with the overall design and enhance beauty of the house. Some leading developers are launching residential projects in Gurgaon with state-of-the-art floor designs. Modern wooden floors enhance the beauty of the condominium and give it a luxurious look.
7. Road Network: Proper road network makes traveling easy and comfortable. The condominium you prefer should have a well developed and wide road network with footpaths, cycle tracks and service corridors.
8. Lighting: Adequate lighting is an important requirement. Whether one talks about internal lighting or street lighting, due attention should be laid on both.
9. Sunlight, Air and Ventilation: While one may like to live in the privacy of one's home, to remain confined in a room in isolation should not be considered favourable, nor is that the case. Adequate sunlight and ventilation is necessary for a healthy life. Moreover, there should be an area where one can dry clothes, bask under the sun etc. Living in an area where air doesn't pass properly can be very difficult. Condominiums should be designed while taking care of proper air and ventilation facility. Specifically the kitchen area should have sufficient ventilation.
10. Garden: As with ventilation and lighting inside an abode, equally important is the facility at a community level for morning walks, evening walks, picnics, gardening etc.

Hi guys,
I'm puzzled by something strange happening to my Westerbeke W21 (1986) engine yesterday. First time like this in 3 years I used it (I run engine every weekend for several hours, change oil every year or around 100 hours).
In the morning, I started an engine, it was running for 5 hours as usual - fair vibration on 800 RPM, some vibration at 1500 RPM and more or less smooth at 2200 RPM. I stopped an engine for 2 hours.
Started it again after 2 hours and it started running smooth as butter - no vibration at all - tachometer went crazy - it showed 1500 RPM on lowest gas setting, and went up to 4000 RPM as I added more gas (not even maximum setting) but I did not feel it was running that fast (max RMP for this engine is 3000RPM and you know it's at maximum if you go to this limit), just running very smooth.
I run it like this for 1-2 min but it did not feel right. I'd be glad to have engine running that smooth but it's probably a wishful thinking for 1986 diesel.
I started it again, it did this again. I stopped it for 5 min or so, started again and it was normal for the rest of the trip (2-3 hours).
any ideas what this can be?

Oakland, CA - The Oakland Athletics have agreed to one-year contracts with five arbitration-eligible players, including outfielder Josh Reddick and third baseman Brett Lawrie. Jacquies Smith Jersey . Others agreeing to deals were pitcher Ryan Cook and outfielders Craig Gentry and Sam Fuld. Reddick appeared in just 109 games last season because of injuries and slugged 12 homers while driving in 54 runs and batting .264. Lawrie joined the Athletics in a November trade from Toronto. He hit .247 with 12 homers and 38 RBI in 70 games for the Blue Jays. Cook was 1-3 with a 3.42 ERA and one save in 54 games last season, while Gentry hit .254 and led the Athletics with 20 stolen bases despite two stints on the disabled list. Fuld split time last season with Oakland and Minnesota, batting .239 in 113 games. Vernon Hargreaves III Jersey . The attacking midfielder arrives on a free transfer from Spains Malaga. The 28-year-old joins Scottish striker Kenny Miller and Argentine midfielder Matias Laba as designated players on the Whitecaps roster. Ronde Barber Jersey . Bjoergen pulled away from Swedens Charlotte Kalla on the final straight to win in 38 minutes, 33.6 seconds and defend her title from the 2010 Vancouver Games. Kalla was 1.8 seconds back. Heidi Weng of Norway took bronze. http://www.thebuccaneersfansclub.com/Black-Friday-Kendell-Beckwith-Jersey/ . -- Theres been so much talk about Mike Moustakas at the plate that the third baseman ignored the conversation Wednesday -- even after doing something positive.The Boston Bruins remain the top team in the TSN.ca NHL Power Rankings, their third straight week ahead of the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks. Holding that number one ranking doesnt mean that everything is flawless, as the Bruins did suffer back-to-back losses last week, but they rebounded with a solid win over Philadelphia Saturday afternoon and are healthier than most, if not all, of the top contenders. Surging into a playoff spot and getting Pavel Datsyuk back from injury helps the Detroit Red Wings move from 21 to 18, while the Carolina Hurricanes have been reasonably competitive, with one regulation loss in the past six, to move from 25 to 22. Heading the other way, the Los Angeles Kings fall from four to seven after one win in four games. The fall could be even more pronounced if defenceman Drew Doughty suffers ill-effects from a weekend upper-body injury. Without a regulation win in the past eight games, and with defenceman Mike Green sidelineed, the Washington Capitals slide from 17 to 20, while the Winnipeg Jets are down from 20 to 24, mostly because of injuries to right winger Dustin Byfuglien and defenceman Zach Bogosian. Keith Tandy Jersey. The Toronto Maple Leafs continue their rankings slide, even after winning two of three last week. Losing goaltender Jonathan Bernier and left winger Joffrey Lupul for the season, contributes to the Leafs landing at a season-low 26, down from 23. The rest of the Canadian teams, coincidentally, all moved up one spot, the Montreal Canadiens are up to nine, the Calgary Flames, finishing strong, to 21, the Vancouver Canucks to 23, Ottawa Senators to 25 and Edmonton Oilers to 27. Yes, with one week remaining in the season, that leaves six Canadian teams ranked in the bottom 10.

|Our Beach Path
Our first week in Florida will be spent at the Shell Island Beach Club. This resort is on the eastern end of Sanibel and is within wading distance of the Sanibel Island Lighthouse. We have an upper floor condo which fronts over the dune giving us a great view of the beach. It's close enough to the water that we can hear the surf. We leave our doors open all the time so we have a constant background noise of the water. Love it!
|One of the pod showing off!
The highlight of the boat ride was when a pod of dolphins started frolicking in our wake. They would swim to within 20 feet of the boat and then jump out of the water and splash heavily back in. They followed us for five or ten minutes giving us a fantastic show! Everyone on the boat had big smiles on their faces and there was a lot of whooping and hollering as the dolphins jumped and spun in the air.

As it happens the renal glomerular filtration? How can it be changed?
The renal system has various functions in the human body. These are: the excretion of degradation products of metabolism, such as urea, creatinine, bilirubin, excretion of exogenous chemical substances such as drugs, food additives and pesticides; regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance, blood pressure regulation, the regulation of acid-basic along with the lungs and body fluids tampons; regulation of red blood cell production and the production of the active form of vitamin D.
Microscopically renal system presents its basic unit the nephron. This has the function of glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion.
The glomerular filtrate appears very similar to plasma (however, for example, it is known that the filtrate should not be present proteins). In it contains mainly ions and organic solutes of low molecular weight. Among the most common substances are freely filtered ions Na, K, Cl-and HCO3-. Organic substances such as urea and glucose, amino acids and peptides also have free filtration.
It is estimated that the total glomerular filtration rate in an adult male is equivalent to 180 liters per day. If we imagine that the plasma volume is 3 liters, we can say that the kidneys filter plasma 60 times a day.
The filter fact that huge volume of plasma, enables the kidneys excrete large quantities of residual constituents and regulate the internal environment with great accuracy.
The filtration to occur it is necessary that a barrier is exceeded. This barrier is composed of the glomerular capillary endothelium, a basement membrane, and a single layer of epithelial cells.
The capillary endothelium is perforated by many fenestrae. It is freely permeable to all blood except red blood cells and platelets.
The basement membrane is a mesh acellular gel-like glycoproteins and proteoglycans.
The epithelial cells are called podocytes in the region. This anatomical arrangement allows a large fluid filtration but restricts the passage of large molecular weight proteins.
The filterability of solutes is inversely related to its size. Moreover molecules with negative charges are filtered less easily when compared to the positively charged molecules of the same molecular size. This is because the negative charge of the basement membrane is an important barrier to negatively charged molecules, including plasma proteins. This explains why the non-occurrence of filtration of albumin that although its diameter is enough to pass through the pores of the glomerular membrane, it is not filtered because of its negative charge.
Some renal diseases resulting in the loss of negative charges exist in the basal membrane. Consequently, we have a clinical condition characterized by albuminuria or proteinuria.
Glomerular filtration rate is determined by the sum of the colloid osmotic and hydrostatic forces acting through the glomerular membrane (resulting in effective pressure filtration) and the glomerular capillary filtration coefficient (resulting from the local capillary permeability surface area and filtration thereof).
Modification of Intensity of Glomerular Filtration
Some factors make the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is amended:
GFR increases with increasing coefficient of the glomerular capillary filtration: This coefficient is typically about 400 times greater than other capillaries in the body. Some diseases can lower the coefficient reducing the number of functional glomerular capillaries (thereby decreasing the surface area renal) or increase the thickness of the capillary membrane. Chronic hypertension uncontrolled and interstitial nephritis are examples of these two mechanisms, respectively.
GFR is changed by increasing or decreasing the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries. The hydrostatic pressure is determined by three variables: the pressure (increased blood pressure tends to elevate the hydrostatic pressure and thereby increase glomerular filtration. However, this effect is damped by mechanisms of self-regulation), the resistance of afferent arterioles (with increasing resistance, decreases the hydrostatic pressure and glomerular filtration rate) and the resistance of efferent arterioles (increased resistance with increased glomerular filtration. However if the constriction is severe, there will be an increase colloid osmotic pressure and consequently a reduction in filtration glomerular).
GFR decreases by increasing the hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule: in some disease states associated with urinary tract obstruction, the hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule can increase dramatically causing the reduction in glomerular filtration.
GFR decreases by increasing the colloid osmotic pressure of glomerular capillaries. The increased concentration of plasma proteins produces an increase colloid osmotic pressure which in turn decreases the effective pressure filtration and thereby the intensity of glomerular filtration.

In this fifth annual Lodging Tax Study, HVS Convention, Sports, and Entertainment Consulting surveys lodging tax rates and revenues across the United States. Our study includes a broad range of cities and tracks policy trends in lodging tax impositions. This research identifies the lodging tax rates levied at the state, county, city, and special district levels. We provide data on the collection and distribution of revenue from lodging taxes levied in all 50 States and the 150 largest cities in the United States.
Lodging Tax Imposition
Lodging taxes are typically ad valorem taxes (levied as a percentage of value) on short-term overnight stays at hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfasts and other lodging accommodations. States authorize the imposition of lodging taxes, except in home rule cities. States may tax lodging as a part of general sales and use tax, a specific lodging tax, or both. For most lodging taxes, state legislation defines the tax base, determines who is exempt from the lodging tax, and establishes collection procedures. States and municipal governments may distribute lodging tax revenues to their general funds, special revenue funds, or to local governments and special districts. Certain state and local governments also impose excise taxes on lodging, at a fixed amount per unit, such as a $1.00 per night fee for the furnishing of a hotel room.

High school/college dance crew Brobots & Mandroidz stood out from the crowd so much during the Judge Cuts 3 episode of "America's Got Talent" 2017 that they nabbed a slot in the upcoming live rounds. The guys advanced on Tuesday after performing a red-hot dance number to Jason Derulo, Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign's "Swalla." The dance crew from Southern California lost a few members following their original audition because their parents "wanted them to focus on school." But the rest of the group came out swinging and proved why they belonged in the competition. Watch Brobots & Mandroidz's video above.
Guest judge Laverne Cox (Emmy-nominated for "Orange is the New Black") opened up the critiques by declaring, "That was so hot, I loved it! I thought you guys were so incredible. Congratulations."
"You guys brought such an honestly and a realness," added Mel B. "I'm so glad that you're here. I'm so, so glad. Well done."
Heidi Klum chimed in, "Boys, you really brought your A game today. If it's five people dancing I'd say, 'Okay, that's already good.' But so many of you? It was fantastic."
"Unfortunately, we only have seven places," warned Simon Cowell. "But I really, really like you guys, and I'll tell you why I like you. What I get from you is a real friendship and fun. And it's about likeability and you have that. So thank you."
Brobots & Mandroidz were one of Tuesday's seven acts to go through to the live rounds of "Americas Got Talent" 2017. If Brobots & Mandroidz end up as the ultimate champs, they'll be the first dance crew to win the long-running reality TV show. (See the "AGT" winners list.) Do you think they have what it takes to win? Let us know by sounding off down in the comments section.

(Reuters) - A 12-inch pipeline exploded in Rusk County, Texas, on Tuesday, news website KSLA.com said.
According to the Texas Railroad Commission, the majority of the pipelines in the area carry natural gas, the report said, adding the scene was about 12 miles (19 km) southeast of Henderson.
The report did not specify the details of the pipeline or the extent of the explosion.

Johnny Depp has less than two days to remove his dogs from Australia or they will be killed, according to a leading politician.
The country's Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce claims the actor, who is Down Under filming the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and his wife Amber Heard failed to declare their two pet pooches when they arrived by private jet last month (Apr15).
Under Australia's strict import laws, dogs must be quarantined for diseases for a minimum of 10 days, and government authorities reportedly visited Depp's rented home on Wednesday (13May15) after the owner of a dog grooming parlour shared a picture of the two Yorkshire terriers, named Pistol and Boo, on social media.
Joyce issued the ultimatum on Thursday (14May15), saying, "Mr. Depp has to either take his dogs back to California or we're going to have to euthanise them... He's now got about 50 hours left to remove the dogs. He can put them on the same charter jet he flew out on and fly back out of our nation.
"If we start letting movie stars even though they've been the 'sexiest man alive' twice to come into our nation, then why don't we just break the laws for everybody?... It's time that Pistol and Boo b**gered off back to the United States."
Depp's spokesman Brett Chant told the Associated Press the dogs were in "home quarantine" but did not disclose details.
A petition has been created online at Change.org urging Joyce to save the pets. It had reached more than 6,300 signatures as WENN went to press.

These are one of my favorite snacks and they are SO easy to make. Before you turn away let me also say that my boyfriend loves these. If he likes them, so will you! They are also extremely customizable. You can literally throw any herbs or spices that you like on these bad boys.
What You Will Need:
-1 can of Organic Chick Peas (Garbanzo Beans)
-1 can of Organic Black Beans
-4 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-Your choice of spices. I used Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
What to Do:
-Set your oven for 400 degrees
-Empty and rinse cans of beans
-Dry them by lightly patting and rubbing them with a paper towel
-Remove as many of the skins from the chick peas that you can. The ones that naturally come off are usually good enough.
-Place in a mixing bowl and add your 4 tablespoons of olive oil and mix
-Add in your choice of spices. You don't need measurements for this. Just eye it out. And Mix.
*If you need a measurement 1/4 of a tablespoon is good*
-Line your pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper
-Put the beans on the pan. Spread them out into a single layer.
-Place in the oven for 15, then mix and toss them again.
-Place back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
Let Cool and Enjoy!
These are a great replacement for pretzels or potato chips, so eat them while you are watching Game of Thrones tonight and The Voice tomorrow! You can also use them to top off a salad or stir fry.
Black beans and chickpeas are full of protein and fiber. Sometimes when cravings attack it is because of a lack in protein. People tend to think that you can only get protein from meat. But that is far from the truth. Beans, grains, and some vegetables have plenty of it. But sometimes when people make the switch the vegetarianism or veganism they don't know this and end up craving and eating junk food. These are the "junk food vegetarians" and they tend to gain weight when eliminating meat and dairy from their diet. To efficiently become a healthy vegetarian or vegan you must eat a plant based diet. So make sure that you are educated in the ways to get your protein before you go off on a binge of Oreos even though they are "vegan".

Swansea Barrage Represents a Key Opportunity
- Posted on January 18, 2017
- 38 views
Charles Hendry's report into the exciting Swansea Lagoon has given it the thumbs up.
The former energy minister concludes:
"I started this process with interest but sceptical. The more evidence I have seen, the more persuaded I have become that tidal lagoons do have an important role to play and there should be a government strategy in place to help this happen."
But it is not a cheap source of power. It has enemies. Among them is Jonathan Ford, writing yesterday in the FT,
That aside, it is important to factor into any calculation about this investment that the lagoon will last 3-4 times longer than Hinkley or any other nuclear power station, and so its costs should be factored over around 100 years.
Hydroelectric power dams last for a at least this length of time. Admittedly the conditions for the barrage are slightly more stressful, being in salt water, but the area of Swansea Bay to be occupied by the barrage is a doubly sheltered one – both by the Bristol Channel and the horseshoe shape of the Bay itself.
Balance this against the modular nature of the turbines in the barrage (if one fails the others will keep working) and the predictability of the electricity (from the predictability of the tides).
Ford argues that nuclear is continuous source of power and the barrage is not, but the barrage has the ability to store energy (as water) within itself. The imminent availability of cheap electricity storage technologies will also help match supply with demand.
Tidal barrage and lagoon schemes are a new technology. Backing them will position the UK well as a world expert, leading to further lucrative business for UK plc. China is already utilising it.
We have delayed long enough and let China get ahead. Let's get on with it.

Children love to hold nature in their hands. They want to see it up close, to feel it, to smell it, to touch it, to sense it, and to care for it.
Sigh, I love fairies (they are real, right?). I choose to disregard some folklore and believe that all fairies are wonderful, kind creatures.

DEJA VU: David Crosby
Don't hold your breath waiting for another Crosby, Stills and Nash reunion.
"There's no joy of music there," David Crosby said in a phone interview. "I was born a musician, I've lived my whole life as a musician, and it's really what drives me and what I care about. And that doesn't coincide with the big bands that I've been in. They're stultified and kind of stuck."
Crosby, on the other hand, is moving full steam ahead. His new album Lighthouse, produced by Snarky Puppy's Michael League, has sent him on a tour that stops at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Clearwater's Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St. Crosby, League and singers Becca Stevens and Michelle Willis will bring heavenly harmony to songs from Lighthouse and the rest of Crosby's two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career, from his solo albums to his hits with the Byrds and CSN.
"It's the four of us acoustic, and it's all about the songs," Crosby said. "The songs speak better for me than I do."

The Moscow Show Trial of the Twenty-One occurred in March, 1938. It was one of the culminating events of Stalin's Great Purge of 1936 through 1938. All of the defendants were prominent, and were accused as Trotskyites guilty of murder, assassination, and treason. Particularly prominent amongst them was Nikolai Bukharin, former ally of Lenin and Stalin and member of the Politburo. All were convicted. Bukharin, who was shot, was, according to one account, first forced to watch the execution of sixteen of the others.
Shostakovich's first quartet was written in the summer of 1938, about a year after the composition of the Fifth Symphony, which restored him to official favour after having fallen from it in 1936. Shostakovich's second child, and son, Maxim, was born on May 10, 1938. There is more to this quartet than immediately meets the ear.
First, there is the selection of tempi – a moderato in three, followed by a moderato that sounds slower because it is in two, then a furious allegro molto, as fast as possible, and then a slight relaxation into a concluding allegro.
The use of repeated notes, that is, the ostinato of iteration, whether the pulse is regular or accelerated, is frequent. The quartet opens with three chords on C, somewhat reminiscent of the three-note figure in the Fifth Symphony, which end always as an incomplete phrase, and in the finale, as an ironic reaffirmation of uncertain closure. But in the quartet the repetitions resolve themselves. Even as soon as the third chord of the opening, the 'cello begins to move into a commentary that is most frequently a counter-weight to the lyrical wanderings of the first violin. This weight is emphasized from time to time by the use of double-stopping or glissandi. The inner parts are often restrained to emphasis of the triple meter, but in diminished note values, typically eighth notes, six to the bar, rather than quarter notes, three to the bar. The viola, in particular, is obsessively given the note G to repeat, almost to the point of exhaustion. The pulse of the music changes to four towards the end of the movement, but the repetition of notes continues, and with the return, for the conclusion, to triple meter has the first violin now obsessing with repeated notes, six to the bar, over the 'cello's final lyrical contemplation, which subsides into an extended double-stop sounded heavily during the final twelve bars.
In sudden contrast, the second movement is sounded around the voice of the viola, which seems to recall aspects of remembrances both through the introspective nature of its tone and a distant recollection of time past through the theme's folkloric characteristics. For the melody, in the form of seven variations, insists on itself throughout. Michael Parloff, in one of his lectures on the quartets, points out the theme first appears, on viola, when the opening credits roll in Lev Arnshtam's 1936 film, Girl Friends, which Shostakovich scored in the year before his denunciation.
The allegro molto, which, in addition to being played as fast as possible, has the strings muted throughout, instantly removes this need for reflection and returns to the insistence of the present, again with a compulsive use of repeated notes, six to the triple meter, if this time on the note G#, again in the viola, although this time the note is permitted to wander, as if in an approaching panic, up and down and into double-stops; until repetition gives way to oscillation, which in turn is slowed to a figuration of half note followed by quarter, for many bars, in block chords that imply a type or sense of imposed serenity. The entire pattern—repetition, oscillation, augmentation—is then repeated in brief, with the oscillation winning out.
And it is this oscillation that opens the final movement, with the first violin endeavouring to find a way through by means of unconvinced jauntiness, a hard wandering into harsher harmonies that are single-, double-, triple-, and quadruple-stopped. But the repetition recurs, in all of its earlier formats and tempi, until the pace quickens with the employment of cut time, as if reviewing the material with a haste now somewhat approaching the desperate, to bring the movement, and the quartet, to a conclusion with the now inevitable three-note figures.
In my poem, Shostakovich in Peace River, published in Toronto's Descant 167, and which concludes The Underside of Time segment of the third part of my book, Mahler and Freud Meet in Leiden, this quartet is described as "Modulants expérimentaux près des thinning peripheries of tenebrosity."

Contact: http://www.kelownacapnews.com/ Details: http://www.mapinc.org/media/1294 Author: RK IN SUPPORT OF CANNABIS DISPENSARIES To: Mayor and Council of the City of West Kelowna I find myself writing this in support of the cannabis dispensaries in West Kelowna which have either been closed or are threatened to be closed by this current council. Over the past one-and-a-half years I have been a regular customer of a number of those businesses. They have become an important part of our daily lives dealing with arthritis, achy backs, anxiety, stomach issues, restless leg syndrome, etc. etc. The cannabis products provided by these businesses have been instrumental in helping us enjoy our time at this point in our lives. We (my wife and I ) are in our late 50s and have found that we prefer to use more natural methods to tend to our more minor health issues if possible and these dispensaries provide this for us and thousands of others in your community. I attended your meeting regarding this same issue and I have to say I was quite disheartened to see the apparent lack of serious interest in anything that was presented by the overflow crowd that was in attendance. The main negative concerns were regarding the large grow- ops adjacent to homes affecting their daily lives, not the dispensaries. Virtually every speaker was in support or had no issue with the dispensaries yet you still chose to go down this road ignoring all the obvious support for the need for this safe service in your community. I am not sure you have pursued the grow - op issues with the same vigor you have chosen to pursue the closure of these businesses. Instead you choose to put those 18-20 year olds and the 50, 60 and 70 year olds in a position that they are back to buying from the fentanyl filled streets. These are your children, grandchildren, cousins, neighbours etc. etc. Think about that. Have you ever considered why the police have chosen to leave those clearly visible businesses alone even though they drive by them dozens of time every week? Perhaps it's because these very same dispensaries are beneficial to the police by providing a safe reliable source of cannabis putting pressure on the street sellers, gangs etc. This would allow them more time to pursue more important things such as murder, theft and the many other serious threats to life in West Kelowna and the surrounding area. I commend the local police force for choosing to prioritize their resources to pursue the more serious issues instead of trying to stop something that will be legal in the very near future. Perhaps you should tear that page from their playbook and apply it. Surely there are far more serious and important issues that could use the full and undivided attention of council. Perhaps a quick survey of priorities of your constituents is in order. I don't think these dispensaries would even hit the radar as I am sure there are far more important issues such as taxes, road woes, property development and so on and so on. These dispensaries are part of the solution not the problem. You have it all wrong. RK, Peachland - --- MAP posted-by: Matt

2014 Ram and Jeep 3.6L Oil Leak
2014 Ram 1500 3.6L engine, At 12,000 Miles I changed the oil at the shop I work at, at 14,100 Miles developed a large oil leak running down the bell housing and getting the catalytic converter wet with oil, took the truck to the dealership for them to investigate an after a few hours the service adviser said they see this quite often after other shops change the oil filter, untrained techs cracked the housing by over tightening, and was not covered under my warranty. After reading several online post, I took the oil filter housing out and found no cracks and there are 3 glued plugs in the oil ports at the lower front and right side below the filter area that are leaking. After checking availability the part is on a large back order. I posted pictures so techs and shops can see what to look for. 2014 Ram 1500 HFE, Engine/Propulsion Photo 2014 Ram 1500 HFE, Engine/Propulsion Photo

FPS COST Action FP1102
Determining Invasiveness And Risk Of Dothistroma (DIAROD)
Dothistroma needle blight is an economically important tree disease caused by two fungal pathogens, Dothistroma septosporum and Dothistroma pini. Although the disease has been a problem in the southern hemisphere for many years, only recently has it caused significant damage to plantations and natural forest ecosystems in Europe. The biosecurity implications relating to this recent upsurge are unclear, and this has raised a number of important questions: Are these fungi recently introduced, or is it that they are changing in behaviour, possibly due to changing climatic conditions? Alternatively, is the dramatic increase in disease intensity and geographical and host range due to the introduction of more aggressive strains? Is this situation likely to worsen, or maybe improve under future management and climate change scenarios? What are the most suitable management strategies? This Action, DIAROD, plans to build on the foundations of the International Dothistroma Alliance (IDA), established in 2006 to help combat the new problems faced due to this disease. The aim of the DIAROD cost Action is to synthesize knowledge, encourage collaborative research to address the key questions, determine future research priorities, and use the resulting information to develop management strategies applicable to this evolving disease and other future disease threats.

I think there's a lot of screamers, there's a lot of shouters, there's a lot of shamers. My approach is this: Boy, you're in the middle of the game, and some kid's having a tough time. They get beat.. I tell all my players, "Come on over to me during the game and I'll give you a hug." And you think about the power of a hug versus swearing, shouting, shaming at some kid.

With six picks in the top 65, the Browns can do a multitude of things (including packaging a bunch of them in an attempt to lure Kirk Cousins or Jimmy G from their respective teams), but if there are no trades (I honestly believe there will be), they have to go with a quarterback, here.

U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia in February 2014 ruled that AT&T Inc. was ineligible to appeal a $40 million patent verdict in favor of Two-Way Media LLC because its attorneys from Sidley & Austin LLP and Davis Cedillo & Mendoza Inc. failed to file an appeal by the court's deadline. Sidley & Austin LLP appealed what is essentially its malpractice based on the court's electronic docket lacking full disclosure of the court's order. But in a split panel decision, Federal Circuit refused to reverse the decision.
Sidley Austin's Chairman Carter Phillips argued last fall that the failure to act should be excused because the District Court "mislabeled electronic notices" for the orders that started the clock running on the time to appeal. But Federal Circuit Judges Kathleen O'Malley and Evan Wallach ruled on March 19 that AT&T and its counsel are legally responsible to monitor orders on civil docket, regardless of any issues with electronic notifications.
Sidley, Austin, Brown & Wood is the sixth-largest U.S.-based corporate law firm with about 1900 lawyers with offices in 18 cities worldwide. Sidley & Austin has the seventh highest billing rate of any law firm on the planet, according to CorporateCounsel.com. S&A partners charge major customers for volume work rates of $395 to $600 an hour and bill their young associates at $205 to $395 an hour. The firm's annual revenues are believed to be more than $1 billion dollars a year.
One of the key reasons that corporations are willing to pay such egregious law bills to major firms, like S&A, is the iron clad confidence that they are experts in negotiating all the esoteric differences in "Local Rules" between the 13 different U.S. circuit courts. But the malpractice error that S&A may have committed involves a rule that is common for all circuits.
A jury in March 2013 awarded Two-Way $27.5 million in damages, and the Judge Garcia added costs and pre-and post-judgment interest that brought the final judgment to just under $40 million in November of 2013.
In a filing in the Texas federal court, AT&T said its attorneys only realized about two months later that all of the motions had been resolved when one of their associates happened to read the actual court orders while searching the docket for something else.
Judge Garcia ruled there was no excuse under the "Rules" to grant extension. "The court finds it is not sufficient for attorneys to rely on the electronic and email notifications received from the [Electronic Case Files] system, as the docket entries and notifications do not always convey the court's disposition in its entirety," he added. "The substance of the orders carry validity under the law, not the electronic [filings]."
In a devastating comment regarding the competence of S&A, Judge Garcia said he found it "very troublesome" that for over 52 days, none of AT&T's 18 attorneys at two law firms bothered to read the orders issued by the court, check the docket for activity, or check on the status of the case." He then ruled that Two-Way would be prejudiced if AT&T were allowed to appeal after missing the deadline. "Such an omission is particularly alarming in this case where a $40 million judgment has been entered against defendants."
Two-Way demanded that AT&T immediately pay the judgment in full, but later agreed to allow S&A to appeal its actions after AT&T agreed to put up a $40 million bond.
Federal Circuit Judges Kathleen O'Malley and Evan Wallach ruled on March 19, 2015, that AT&T and its counsel were responsible for monitoring orders on the civil docket, regardless of any glitches in electronic notifications. Judge Timothy Dyk was in dissent, stating AT&T never received proper notice under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The appeal ruling may actually increase the risk that Sidley & Austin's inactions may rise to the level of a malpractice claim when Judge O'Malley wrote in Two-Way Media v. AT&T, "The civil docket … had a complete description of those orders had AT&T bothered to check the docket, as it should have done."
AT&T is out $40 million dollars, and Sidley & Austin seems to have dug a deeper hole for itself by appealing its own error.
