South Florida`s night sky should sparkle with comet dust for the next week, astronomers say.
But don`t blink.
As Earth passes through the tail of comet Swift-Tuttle, gravity will pull debris from the comet into the atmosphere, where the particles will burn up and light up the night sky with one of the year`s brightest meteor showers, called the Perseids, astronomers say.
``You can go out and watch these things go zipping by,`` said Gary Bogner, planetarium director at the South Florida Science Museum in West Palm Beach.
The best ones look ``almost like a Roman candle going across the sky,`` said Gary Lazich, assistant planetarium director at Buehler Planetarium in Davie.
The Perseids are one of the most predictable, yet unpredictable, of astronomical events, Bogner said.
The meteor shower always occurs at this time in August, so you know when to look but not where, Bogner said.
``This year will be extra good because there`s not going to be a moon in the way,`` said Arnold Pearlstein, director of the Space Place Planetarium in Miami.
Lights can appear all over the sky, but each one disappears in less than a second because the particles are traveling at a speed of 38 miles per second, Bogner said. That`s eight times faster than the space shuttle.
The particles burn up about 40 miles above the ground, Lazich said.
The meteor showers will peak just after midnight on Monday and again just after midnight on Tuesday, an unusual double peak, Lazich said.

Deputies: Man's body found in Upstate pond
The Laurens County Sheriff's Office, along with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, was at the scene of an apparent drowning Saturday night.
Deputies were called to Boyd's Mill Pond in Ware Shoals, after a group reported a male friend of theirs had gone missing, according to Lt. Julie Stiles with the Sheriff's Office.
Stiles said emergency crews, along with South Carolina Department of Natural Resources personnel, searched the area and located the man's body in the water just before midnight.
The man's death appears to be an accidental drowning, Stiles said.
The victim's name has not yet been released.
The Sheriff's Office will continue the investigation.

Private MRI Services and Appointments
MRI is a medical imaging technique used to investigate the anatomy and function of the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields and radiowaves to form these images. The technique is widely used in hospitals for medical diagnosis, staging of disease and for follow-up, all without exposure to ionising radiation. MRI provides excellent soft tissue visualisation, enabling the accurate diagnosis of musculoskeletal complaints.
Fortius' 1.5T and 3T scanners have the capabilities to perform a full selection of musculoskeletal imaging and can adapt any scan to an individual patient's needs, producing high quality images at all times.
Fortius also offers an MR arthrogram service, with the facility to inject under image guidance and then perform specific MRI arthrogram sequences post injection.
To find out more about booking an MRI appointment, or referring a patient for an MRI scan call +44 (0) 203 195 2446 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Trade discounts (also called functional discounts): These are payments to distribution channel members for performing some function .
Retailers have a stock number of retail 'mechanics' that they regularly roll out or rotate for new marketing initiatives.
Many discounts are designed to give consumers the perception of saving money when buying products, but not all discounted prices are viewed as favorable to buyers. Therefore, before making a purchase, consumers may weigh their options as either a gain or a loss to avoid the risk of losing money on a purchase.
Extremely Online Calme Cafe Sleeve Top S Burgundy Johnny Was Cheap Sale Wholesale Price 7UBBSP
A "gain" view on a purchase results in chance taking. Spring Ruffle Sleeveless Sheath Dress Rebecca Taylor Cheap Geniue Stockist VNlSDf
For example, if there is a buy-one-get-one-half-off discount that seems profitable, a shopper will buy the product. On the other hand, a "loss" viewpoint results in consumer aversion to taking any chances. [6] For instance, consumers will pass on a buy-three-get-one-half-off discount if they believe they are not benefitting from the deal. Specifically, consumers will consider their options because "…the sensation of loss is 2.5 times greater than the sensation of gain for the same value". [6]
Impulse buying results from consumers' failure to weigh their options before buying a product. Impulse buying is "any purchase that a shopper makes that has not been planned… [and is] sudden and immediate".
Discount Marketable Womens South Straight Jeans Acne Studios Sale Find Great Outlet New Styles Discount Cheap Online HWFezPo
For example, if a consumer has no intention of buying a product before entering a store, but purchases an item without any forethought, that is impulse buying. Product manufactures want to promote and encourage this instant purchase impulse in consumers. Buyers can be very quick to make purchases without thinking about the consequences when a product is perceived to be a good deal. [2] Therefore, sales companies "increasingly implement promotional campaigns that will be effective in triggering consumer impulse buying behavior" to increase sales and profit. [2]
Many consumers read left-to-right, and therefore, compare prices in the same manner.
Outlet 2018 New Haute Hippie Woman Crepe Kickflare Pants Offwhite Size 2 Haute Hippie Cheap Sale Largest Supplier Visit New Sale Online a43AJzB2b
For example, if the price of a product is $93 and the sales price is $79, people will initially compare the left digits first (9 and 7) and notice the two digit difference. Fake Cheap Sale 2018 Unisex Andrea Italian Cady BellSleeve Dress Milly 2WCeWy
However, because of this habitual behavior, "consumers may perceive the ($14) difference between $93 and $79 as greater than the ($14) difference between $89 and $75". [7] As a result, consumers often mistakenly believe they are receiving a better deal with the first set of prices based on the left digits solely. [7] Because of that common misconception, companies capitalize on this sales pricing strategy more often than not to increase sales.
Most of the products and communications we interact with are situated within complex physical spaces (our homes, classrooms, places of business, shopping malls, or entertainment venues). We increasingly work, live, and play in smart spaces with multiple modes of interaction that span both digital and analog products and communications. In this design track, you'll learn to design interactions taking place within complex environments that exist in the digital, physical, and multi-modal realms.
Environments include showrooms, virtual spaces, automotive interiors, hospital rooms, and other workspaces where furniture, equipment, and devices work together to support productivity and enhance human experience.

by Faith Kaufman I created a redesign for the Conflict Kitchen environment. I began by analyzing the digital and physical spaces. I then considered what possibilities exist for the space and made a design story to express what I feel should be changed.
by Chris Perry Most of the ideas generated in the brainstorming process are never used, simply because they do not fit within the scope of a project. In this augmented studio environment, students are able to take the good ideas they have that they won't be using and release them into the ether in the form of floating paper planes. These planes move between studios, and can be opened and read using an augmented reality app.

by Gillan Johnson In this project I collaborated with another student to design a system within our studio space that aided environments designers in their process of combining digital and physical prototyping tools. The final product consisted of a Projection/Application software system called Shuffle that created hybrid environments of physical and digital mapping and prototyping, allowing for a more layered and informed viewing of a space that will aid future design decisions made by the user.
by Sharon Yu I proposed to create an interactive mirror display that acts as a looking glass into the studio for users to answer the essential question of whether or not they should go to studio through qualifiers including the amount of people in studio and the amount of work that is assigned.

by Jasper Tom Green Heat is a concept for a smart, sustainable, personalized heating system. A user controls their personal environment with a small fan and heating pad which are powered by a pedal generator underneath their desk. The physical action of pedaling induces a natural increase in temperature and physicalizes the energy a person uses, making electricity a more tangible, valuable resource. My objective was to reduce energy use in a studio setting and eliminate the need for steam radiators.

The participants showed a general improvement in the handwashing task when COACH was used, reflected in more steps completed independently, fewer interactions with the caregiver, and higher FASs. Results presented in Table
flared corduroy trousers Blue Prada Largest Supplier For Sale Cheap Sale Websites Pre Order For Sale Cheap Sneakernews Cheapest For Sale x6rSrgr
suggest that improvements in handwashing independence when COACH is used are inversely proportional to a person's baseline performance, with greater levels of improvement being seen by those who are less independent when washing his/her hands. Moreover, four moderately impaired participants who routinely required some assistance (S3, S4, S6, and S8) competed all five handwashing steps completely independently the majority of the time COACH was used. It appears that the improvement is a result of device use rather than activity learning by the participants, supported by the fact that performance improved when COACH was used in B 1 , fell when it was removed in the A 2 phase, and was regained in B 2 when COACH was reintroduced (as seen in Table puff sleeved shirt Red Marques Almeida Purchase For Sale Low Shipping Fee Sale Online d1udV6G
). There was a noticeable trend towards a decrease in the number of interactions with the caregiver during the intervention phases, with three of the subjects (S3, S4 and S6) requiring no human assistance when COACH was used. S5 also showed a considerable decrease, requiring only a third of the original number of interactions to complete handwashing. The change in the amount of assistance the participants required was mildly reflected by their FASs (presented in Table 8 ), although the change is not as obvious as it is with independence and interaction with caregiver measures (Tables 5 and 6 ). S4's independence from a human caregiver when COACH is shown by her increase to a near perfect FAS. The reason S4 did not achieve a perfect score is because she was a relatively slow hand washer and the FAS dictates that a score of 6 is assigned when the participant "took more than reasonable time to complete step". Participants S3 and S6 were able to perform most of the steps in handwashing independently before the introduction of COACH, therefore these participants had no change in their FAS because there was little opportunity for them to improve.
S8 was a noteworthy subject as she was highly independent, but would consistently omit the soap application step. Although COACH provided a prompt for her to do so at almost every instance, she ignored these prompts and would only respond to verbal prompts from a human caregiver. Thus, essentially no change was seen in S8's number of caregiver interactions or FAS. S8 provides a good example of a user (in terms of ADL and cognitive abilities) who may not be a good candidate for this style of computer-based guidance as her idiosyncrasies resulted in compliance with verbal cues only when they are given by a human.
For the more independent participants (S3 and S6) COACH appears to function more as a "maintenance" tool, able to support the participant in the occurrence of an occasional error. S4, who needed modest amounts of mostly verbal assistance from her caregiver, became essentially independent when COACH was in use. Results from trials involving S3 and S6 suggest that using COACH does not have a detrimental effect on the performance of capable individuals. This indicates that the device could potentially be introduced in the early stages of dementia without any negative effects. An early introduction would allow the system to learn about the user's preferred handwashing regime, which in turn could enable the system to make better decisions when guiding the individual through the activity later on when s/he does require assistance. From this study, it appears that by providing prompts to users with moderate-level dementia, COACH successfully encouraged more independent behavior with greater relative results seen in individuals who required higher levels of assistance to complete the task.

In some set-ups it can be advisable to use a horizontally designed speaker rather than a vertical one. Until now, such monitors were only available within the SX top line.
The A77X, due to its outstanding features, might become a true game changer: Equipped with the same advanced technologies as the A7X, it therefore is very similar to the two-way speaker. The A77X, however, distinguishes itself by much higher, compression-free maximum sound pressure levels and dynamics. Due to its power and radiation characteristics, it also is perfectly suited for both near- and midfield monitoring.
Driver technology
Like all models of the AX series, the A77X features the ADAM proprietary X-ART tweeter. The ˜X™ stands for ˜eXtended frequency response™ and thus for one of the features of the Accelerating Ribbon Technology that has been drastically improved: the frequency response. It now extends all the way up to 50kHz. In addition, the X-ART tweeter has higher efficiency and higher maximum sound pressure levels.
The two 7" woofers are identical with that of the A7X. With their large voice coils (1.5) and powerful amplifiers, they are capable of both very high maximum sound pressure levels as well as very deep registers. The woofers do not cover the same frequency bands: while both of them are responsible for the (sub-) bass frequencies up to about 400Hz, only one of them reproduces the midrange. This prevents interferences between the two drivers.
Amplifiers / controls
Each driver has its own dedicated amplifier. A 50W A/B amp is responsible for the X-ART tweeter, while the bass-/midwoofers are driven by a 100W PWM amp each. The front panel includes a power switch and a control for the volume that retains the volume setting independently from the on/off switch. The rear panel features several additional controls: a gain for the high frequencies (± 4dB) and two shelf filters for high and low frequencies. To ensure greater compatibility, there are both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors.

Comments about Adam Audio A77X Powered Studio Monitor:
I have been using Genelec 8030a's with a Genelec 7050 sub for about ten years. The thought of a three way speaker always intrigued me. The Adams A77X are priced in the lower tier of most three way pro monitors. So I bought them. Wow! What a sonic upgrade this made! Without even breaking them in, for an extended period, they sound really nice. The sound stage is amazing. I can pinpoint every instrument in a mix. Extremely clear. I am looking forward to mixing on the Adams! Fun times ahead?

#7: We need to persevere
"For our struggle is not against flesh & blood, but against the ruler, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world & against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:11-12
Ephesians 6 is a cracker wee Bible passage. It is often used in sermons on spiritual attack, but interestingly has more to say about spiritual resistance & standing firm.
Living a Christian life is no ice-cream topped adventure - it is a bloody & difficult fight with far too many casualties - and we must realise that some of our prayers go unanswered because there are spiritual forces of evil resisting them. This alone should be a wake up call to persevere, to not give up and keep our eyes heavenwards, while our knees are firmly rooted to the floor.
Yet sometimes it is God Himself who resists our prayers & it is to Him that we must continue in prayer. He opposes our prayers for very different reasons to the Evil One. Instead of the instant gratification of miracles on our every finger click, He calls us to persevere in prayer to deepen our character & nurture our faith.
In Luke chapter 18 Jesus teaches His disciples about persistence in prayer & not throwing in the towel too early. He tells the story of a determined widow's unremitting demands for justice in the face of an obstinate, crooked judge. But even the unjust judge is eventually forced to give in to her constant nagging; so how much more will a loving Heavenly Father reward His children who earnestly persevere in prayer through faith & dogged determination.
Whether your prayers are being resisted by mysterious spiritual forces, by stubborn people or even by God Himself, just don't give up.
I finish this series with a prayer that Greig records in "God on mute." I hope you have enjoyed this series or found it at least slightly stimulating & helpful. Thanks for journeying with me.
Help me to stand
Lord, help me to stand today.
Temptations & trials abound.
When life hurts, I get confused, dishonest, suspicious & critical.
I put on the belt of truth.
When life hurts, mu relationships suffer – especially my relationship with You.
I put on the breastplate of righteousness.
When life hurts, I either get really lazy or I make myself really busy.
I put on the shoes of the Gospel.
When life hurts, I let down my guard & leave myself exposed.
I take up the shield of faith.
When life hurts, my thinking gets negative & I question everything.
I put on the helmet of salvation.
When life hurts I'm a coward.
I take hold of the sword of the Word.
Lord, it doesn't feel very 'finished' down here.
I don't feel very 'finished.'
See me kneeling.
Help me stand.

Why doesn't God answer my prayers?
#7: We need to persevere


text:
y nature, Darkmane is quiet, unassuming, and kind of silly, but also responsible and trustworthy. She peacefully goes about her task of making sure the Chapel's Youtube Channel is taken care of, and that the videos people submit to her are promptly uploaded.
Underneath Darkmane's humble personality lies a very talented artist. Her choice subjects to draw are creatures of myth and legend, which goes hand in hand with Castlevania. The Staff has known Darkmane to be dedicated, disciplined, responsible, and courteous. She watches the Youtube Channel grow with eagerness and excitement. Under Darkmane's steady watch, it has become a vast archive of Castlevania related videos.
What drew you to Castlevania? What made you become a big fan of it?
It was my uncle who was into Castlevania first. I always loved watching my brother and uncle play games, so a few times I've seen him play Castlevania. The one that interested me most was Aria of Sorrow, which I went out and tried myself after seeing him play.
Around what year did you become a big Castlevania fan?
I'm not too sure. I know I was still in secondary school, though. Around 2002ish, maybe.
When and how did you discover the Chapel of Resonance, and what made you want to keep coming back to it?
I was lurking at the Castlevania Dungeon's forums and Successor probably had it in his sig and I followed it. I kept looking at lots of Castlevania sites at the time, so I kept looking at the Chapel from time to time, too.
What made you want to manage the Chapel of Resonance's Youtube Channel?
Well, at first, I thought I did have quite a bit of free time, so I would be able to manage it, but then as I continued, I grew quite fond of watching it grow and looking forward to all the new videos that people sent to me. I'd like for it to be a good place for anyone to find stuff about the game easily. Usually, for a visually amazing game like Castlevania, written descriptions just arn't good enough.
Why such a strong interest in mythological monsters, and werewolves in particular?
I've liked dinosaurs a lot as a child. My interest in lizards and reptiles eventually led to dragons, then mythology, where my interest expanded to a plethora of other mythical creatures. I also liked horror movies/stories and such, which mostly had a werewolf or two occasionally, and I researched werewolves more than others. I still like researching other stuff, too.
Castlevania also had a part in this, because of it's visuals in depicting lots of mythological creatures. I just thought they were quite amazing.
How long have you been drawing, and what made you want to start?
I've been drawing from a very young age, just drawing dinosaurs and such at first. My brother and sister were also good artists. My sister could draw a scene almost photo-realistically, and my brother had a fantastic comic style. Naturally, I tried to copy them. I drew on everything I could, including, unfortunately, the walls and such.
What are your top 5 favorite Castlevania games in order?
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Do you have any hobbies outside of video gaming?
Well, drawing. I read a lot about mythology and story books, knitting and fishing with my father. I also play piano and violin and I animate cartoons.
What other video games or video game series do you enjoy besides Castlevania?
Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Monster Hunter, Drakengard, Devil May Cry, Daigasso, Rhythm Tengoku, Phoenix Wright, Fire Emblem, and Etrian Oddysey. Well, quite a few others and a lot that only have one game in the series- Hotel Dusk for example.

My husband and I are Foster Parents in the state of Idaho. I came across your book randomly on Amazon. I read it in one sitting, called my CASA worker who also bought and read the book. Our CASA is now in the process of finding a lawyer to represent her CASA views about "our" baby in court in July. If we could, we would buy crates of this book to pass out to every social worker, judge, CASA worker et al. It should be required reading for everyone involved in the process. Thank you for writing this book.

We appreciate your kind words and are glad our book was of use.

Reuseable Bulk Bags from Kootsac
I love shopping the bulk bins at our local co-op grocery but I hate using the plastic bags they provide. Sometimes I'll take in jars or tupperware containers to fill up but it gets a little bulky and it can be challenging to find appropriate sized containers for things like flour or rice that I like to stock up on. So I was very excited when my best friend gave me some reusable bulk food bags for Christmas, although it took me awhile to remember to actually *take* them with me to the grocery store.
Pretty cute, eh? They're sold on etsy.com through the seller kootsac based out of the Kootenays in British Columbia. (I had to look it up but it turns out that the Kootenays are a section of the Rocky Mountains that comprises the watershed of the Kootenay River, named after an indigenous people also known as the Ktunaxa.) The sacks I have are made out of nylon and are machine washable, which is awesome. Kootsac also sells sacks made out of natural silk for about the same price. Nylon is not the most natural substance in the world but I think it makes a great plastic substitute. The only drawback I've noticed so far is that these sacks breathe a little more than plastic does so my granola is getting a little less crisp than I like it. However, I probably ought to put it in a glass container anyway so I can then reuse the bag to buy more bulk stuff.
I love finding cool solutions like these to every day eco-problems, although I sometimes worry I'll focus too much on buying cool eco-products instead of just living simply. But I think these are a worthwhile addition to my home kitchen and hope to see some more great suggestions at ecoetsy. Ooh, I like these flannel sandwich holders that can be used to replace ziplock baggies and these snazzy moonpads and perhaps I need a wallet made out of lawn chair webbing…

One of the unfortunate realities of our world is that it is far more litigious than it ever used to be. This means a much greater need for businesses to maintain good compliance and documentation. This is doubly important given the fact that much of our communication is now completed electronically.
In the unfortunate circumstance that your business is involved in a legal case you may be receive an eDiscovery request. This will require your business to produce electronic copies of all the correspondence relating to the matter requested. That request could be regarding an individual, customer, etc.
Ask yourself how easily you could perform this task today? Consider that you will probably have to provide results from emails, multiples files, etc. eDiscovery is very challenging for many businesses simply because they are not prepared for the volume of information they need to provide or search.
There are businesses out there that will provide eDiscovery services, however as you would expect, these can be quite expensive and disruptive to a business. You should also consider that an eDiscovery request could extend to information in the past. That may require recovering information from backups as well. As you can probably now appreciate, eDiscovery can be quite an expensive process.
Although your business may never be served with an eDiscovery request it never hurts to be prepared. Planning is the key and it starts with looking at the compliance you have around your existing digital data. How often is it all backed up? How long is it retained for? How long would it take to restore? It may also be a worthwhile exercise to conduct a test eDiscovery request to provide you with an idea of difficult it would be to recover data around a topic.
The requirements around eDiscovery are growing very quickly in our digital world. This means that your business at some stage may be required to complete an eDiscovery request. Having a think about how that may be performed within your business now may save you a lot of heartache down the track.

When a person has dementia, parts of their brain become damaged over time (Alzheimer Society 2008). As Alzheimer's disease progresses, cells within the brain die, and brain tissue is lost. This results in a loss in overall brain size.
The brain is made up of three parts: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem, which receive oxygen and blood through a network of blood vessels. The cortex is part of the outer layer of the cerebellum, which is involved with memory, interpretation of sights and sounds, and thought generation. As a normal part of Alzheimer's progression, the cortex shrinks, which interferes with those activities. The hippocampus, which is responsible for new memories is most severely damaged (Alzheimer Society 2008, Alzheimer's Association 2011).
In more advanced stages, the cortex becomes severely damaged, and your loved one may not recognize you or be able to communicate with you.
Protein clusters, known as "plaques," gather between nerve cells. Twisted strands of protein, known as "tangles," gather among dying nerve cells (Alzheimer's Association 2011). Plaques and tangles begin to form in areas of the brain where memory, learning, and thinking occur, and continue to affect other parts of the brain, damaging the brain and nerve cells (Alzheimer Society 2008).
During mild to moderate stages, they then spread to areas of the brain responsible for communication (speech), and spatial perception. During this time, issues with memory and thought process will typically become apparent, either to the person with dementia, their loved ones, or both. Following these changes, personality and behavior may also become affected (Alzheimer's Association 2011).
Inflammation is a normal response to trauma, however the level of inflammation in the Alzheimer's brain is excessive and counter-productive, leading to more cell deaths. Such inflammation causes the death or nerve cells, and may also increase tangles (Alzheimer Society 2008).
Nerve cells begin to shrink in the part of the brain responsible for memory and thought process, and continue to shrink in the remaining areas of the brain (Alzheimer Society 2008).

29 June 2009
- Links:
- Slade School of Fine Art
- Lakeside Arts Centre Nottingham
- Camden Arts Centre
- BFI Giant Leap Season
- Tate Britain
The work of UCL Slade School graduate, Katie Paterson (MFA) features as part of the Earth–Moon–Earth exhibition from 20 June to 9 August.
Timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the first Apollo moon landing, the exhibition is showing at Djanogly Gallery, University of Nottingham, with several satellite events taking place in London.
Current Slade School MA student, Jayne Wilton, is also collaborating in the making and documenting of work for one of the satellite events.
Co-curated by Dr Alison Joy Sleeman, Senior Lecturer, UCL Slade School of Fine Art and Nicholas Alfrey, Department of Art History, University of Nottingham, the exhibition includes events hosted in the following London venues throughout June and July.
Camden Arts Centre 27–28 June
Camden Arts Centre will be revisiting works by artists David Lamelas and Ivor Abrahams in collaboration with Slade MA student, Jayne Wilton. The 'Environments Reversal Revisted' weekend will also include a screening of David Lamelas' film 'A Study of the Relationships Between Inner and Outer Space' (1969). This is showing for one day only in its original location.
Tate Britain 17 July
As part of the current Richard Long exhibition at Tate Britain, Dr Alison Joy Sleeman, UCL Slade School, will be exploring Long's work in the context of a time of epic space explorations. Her lecture will also look at Long's work in connection with the emergence of new forms of landscape art, as well as tracing some journeys closer to home.
British Film Institute 19 July
Co-organised by Dr Alison Joy Sleeman as part of the British Film Institute's 'One Giant Leap' season, and in collaboration with Elisa Kay of Flat Time House, there will be a screening of 'Time and Space'. This includes David Lamelas's film 'A Study of the Relationships Between Inner and Outer Space' (1969), together with Ian Breakwell and Mike Leggett's 'One' (1971) and John Latham's 'Erth', (1971). Made by pioneers of conceptual art, these films reflect on, and are inspired by, contemporaneous pioneering journeys in space.
All are welcome to attend.

UCL Context
Earth-Moon-Earth brings together the work of two artists who have addressed the idea of the connection between earth and space. It sets up a dialogue between a key work made in 1969 by David Lamelas, a pioneering figure in conceptual art, and a piece by Katie Paterson, a UCL Slade School graduate whose work has been featured in a solo exhibition at Modern Art Oxford (2008) and in Altermodern at Tate Britain (2009). For more information on her work see katiepaterson.org
The exhibition is linked to the activities of an AHRC-funded Research Network on Land Art and the Culture of Landscape, 1967-77, based at the University of Nottingham, with the Slade and Tate as partners and the Slade Research Centre as a venue for network meetings.
The Slade School of Fine Art is concerned with contemporary art and the practice, history and theories that inform it. It approaches the study and practice of art in an enquiring, investigative, experimental and research-minded way. Slade facilities and infrastructure for research support the discourse around painting, sculpture and fine art media.

Fantastic product! I finally got rid of all my receipts while travelling. Directly after payment, I take a picture and leave the receipt with the seller!
(PRWEB) March 15, 2011
San Francisco, CA ABUKAI, Inc., the innovative leader in ACTIONABLE BUSINESS PRODUCTIVITY™, today announced the addition of a Portuguese language version of its expense report format for its ABUKAI Expenses mobile application service. This is in addition to localized expense report formats in English, Spanish, Italian, German and French.
At the same time, ABUKAI customers around the globe are expressing the advantages they obtain with ABUKAI Expenses. Maribel Vasquez, accounts coordinator for Cameron Hughes Wine in the United States said, "We used to just trust our credit card statements, and then manually added cash expenses to our expense reports. With ABUKAI, we now have the fastest and easiest way to get both our cash and credit card expense reports done, and we are able to better control and justify our spending."
Robi Dattatreya, managing director for Total Solutions consultancy with offices in the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates, states "Fantastic product! I finally got rid of all my receipts while travelling. Directly after payment, I take a picture and leave the receipt with the seller!"
Professor Dr. Markus Focke, Faculty of Business Studies, Operations Management at Aachen University of Applied Sciences in Germany adds, "I'm very pleased with ABUKAI's services.

ABUKAI Expenses lets me get my expense reports done in no time - whether for my university duties or consulting projects. And once you commit to an account, you can start using ABUKAI Expenses almost immediately!"
Adding a Portuguese language version of ABUKAI Expenses expense report format enables ABUKAI to expand the service's benefits around the globe, addressing the more than 170 million people for whom Portuguese is their dominant language.
ABUKAI Expenses utilizes an extremely simple two-step process that begins with users taking pictures of their expense receipts while on the road or in their offices. Once images of all receipts to be included in an expense report have been captured, the user only needs to press "Submit" in the ABUKAI application. ABUKAI Expenses automatically completes the expense report and sends it, with copies of the receipt images combined in one PDF document, directly to the user's email address. ABUKAI Expenses is compatible with iPhone, Android and BlackBerry devices.
To trial ABUKAI Expenses, visit http://abukai.com/install and download the application. To learn more about corporate ABUKAI Expenses solutions, contact ABUKAI at http://abukai.com/?id=contact.

U.S. Senator John McCain made a statement on Friday against reinstating Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey and Navy Adm. James A. Winnefeld due to their failure to offer the President sound advice on crises.
"I continue to be seriously concerned about the advice that our nation's top military leaders have given the President and National Security Council regarding the most serious and time-sensitive crises in the world today," McCain said. "More than 100,000 Syrians have been slaughtered in what General Dempsey himself has called 'a human tragedy' yet we have done nothing to stop it. He cites 'the complexity and the myriad actors that are involved' as the reason he has not recommended military action."
Dempsey and Winnefeld are up for a two-year term renewal. McCain said that Dempsey has not played his part as General to take action in securing the U.S.'s and allies' interests.
"In my many years, I have seen a lot of military commanders overstate what is needed to conduct military action for one reason or another," McCain said. "But, regarding Syria, rarely have I seen an effort as disingenuous and exaggerated as what General Dempsey has proposed. The option that many of us have proposed is limited stand-off strikes to degrade Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's air power and ballistic missile capability - an approach that the Institute for the Study of War recently demonstrated as eminently feasible. But, what General Dempsey described would be needed to conduct 'limited stand-off strikes' is completely disingenuous as to both the problem and the solution."
McCain said if Syria does not gain statehood, it will become home to Al-Qaeda and threaten the security interests of the U.S. and its allies.
"My votes in the Armed Services Committee against rubber-stamping General Dempsey and Admiral Winnefeld's nominations reflect my continuing concerns about the professional military advice they have given the President," McCain said. "America needs to take the lead on addressing this international calamity before another 100,000 have to die at the hands of the Assad regime and our regional security interests are further damaged."

Field Crop diseases leads to at least 10-30% of losses on the global food production. Agrios (2004) estimated that annual losses by crop disease cost a whopping US$ 220 billion. Field Crop diseases are a threat to food security.
[bctt tweet="Major world crops are functioning at only 15–20% of their potential –J.A.Browning" username=""]
Crop disease can be fungal, viral or bacterial in nature. Understanding the types of diseases can help you to diagnose problems and take preventive steps. Symptoms of a plant disease may include a visible change in the color, shape or the function of the plant. This happens as it responds to the pathogen. Leaf wilting for example is caused by the fungal plant pathogens such as Verticillium albo-atrum and V. dahliae. If it is a bacterial infection, you will notice born lesions surrounded by yellow halo on the margin of the leaves of the plant.
Fungal diseases
Fungal diseases can be soil-borne, air-borne or even seed-borne. The symptoms of each of these diseases are distinctive.
Seed Borne Diseases
Brown left spot, commonly spotted in Rice
Stem rust, commonly spotted in Wheat and
Red rot in the case of Sugarcane and
Air Borne Diseases
Coffee Rust
Blast of Rice and
Rust of wheat, that appears in black, brown or yellow color.
Soil Borne Diseases
Green Ear Disease, commonly spotted in Bajra
Smut, again spotted in Bajra
Tikka disease seen in groundnut and
Late blight of potato
Some of the other fungal disease are Downy mildew (affects grapes, bajra, radish, cabbage, turnip etc), White rust, Powdery mildew, Footrot (affects paddy and papaya) and Bean rust (affects pulses)
Viral Diseases
Some of the common viral diseases are leaf curl in papaya and tomato, red leaf in carrots, leaf roll and mosaic in potato and tobacco mosaic.
Bacterial Diseases
Bacterial diseases can be commonly found in rice, wheat, potato and som variety of fruits such as apple, pear, cherries and peaches. It appears in the form of crown gall in fruits, tundu disease in wheat, ring or brown rot in potatoes and as blight in rice.
And then there are plant pests such as paddy bug, stem borer and brown planthopper in rice. No wonder that Field Crop diseases are leading to 10-30% of losses on the global food production.
In order to help the agricultural sector and improve overall productivity, My farm Info, an innovative platform is developed to prevent and mitigate crop losses for Farmer, Insurance Company and Government Stakeholders. The value of a successful crop is much higher than the cost of it's production that is being covered by insurance. Therefore prevention and mitigation is a necessity in today's day and age.
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana aims to stabilize the income of farmers to ensure their continuance in farming.. They also encourage farmers to adopt to innovative and modern agricultural practices that will help them in a getting steady revenue.
Why use MyfarmInfo?
My Farm Info aims to show results within a season and by using this platform, farmers will now be able to reap benefits within the same season. Farmers are geo-tagged for and their precise field details can be viewed by hovering over the farm location on Myfarminfo.
Its services include Infrastructure Repair, that begins 30 days before the start of a season, Desilting & Canal Repair Programs in those areas with recurrent losses caused by canal branches, timely sowing and accurate information dissemination from their platform.
The platform also provides early warning systems on weather change such as drought, cyclone, flood or on crop diseases. It helps in providing information on the right crops to sow, based on long term forecasts & soil moisture maps
Did you know?
Even a 15 days delay in sowing cotton can cause high amount of losses?
Disease and weed management is controlled and prevented by effective SMS alerts with curative advice that are sent to farmers and district officials. Plant Doctor is another service available on whatsapp for farmers to consult and get advice on crop diseases and how to prevent them. Based on the requirement, pesticides are made available with local dealers and farmers can easily order for mechanised spraying in selected districts.
Soil Information including Cation Exchange Capacity, Clay Content, Soil pH and comprehensive soil data are provided to help farmer make optimum cultivation decisions.
Farmers can now plan their field irrigation using soil moisture data. This kind of information provides vital insights in planing cultivation.
Crop Management Solutions provide nutrition advisory for crops ensuring that there are no oversight throughout its life cycle.
Not only that, Cyclone, floods and water logging prone areas are identified using remote sensors, monitored regularly to update farmers, village officials on the any change that may affect their crops. Desilting of canals are done before the flood time.
My Farm Info is a world class value added service for agriculture loss prevention in India.

By now we have all heard of the protests around the country and in Washington D.C. of the fairly and lawfully elected president Donald Trump.
To some Americans (if you can still call them that) it would seem like a story out of a post apocalyptic world, where people are fighting for their lives, squandering a piece of bread or a small bottle of precious water…or whatever is going through the mental disorder affected minds of the Libtards…
That's the thing with a mental deficiency; the people experiencing it don't know its happening. It's a nut house without the house.
Let us not sugar coat this anymore, these people are home grown terrorist, period. To call them anything else is lie and a dishonor to hard working Americans and our values as a country. They sorely seem inconsolable, unwilling to listen or act on reason and sense. They are no different than the sick and brainwashed extremism that is seeping out of the Middle East into the armpits of the world known as ISIS.
I'll give the democrats this, they didn't successfully get Clinton elected so they couldn't bring ISIS here. However, it sure seems they had a back-up plan; create social terrorist on our soil. They did this using a complex system of indoctrination to include media, News media, bullying, peer pressure, slowly creating social terrorist groups like the BLM, Hollywood, political leaders of the left, and sadly, our scholastic institutions.
Janaya Khan of Los Angeles leads a "Not My President" chant at a Black Lives Matter protest in front of DC police HQ https://t.co/g9XFBrtWf4 pic.twitter.com/zPIECRtj9V
— NPR Politics (@nprpolitics) January 20, 2017
The Hill Reports: D.C. Interim Police Chief Peter Newsham said More than 217 social terrorist have been arrested, according to The Hill. They have injured police, set many things on fire, have broken into businesses and have further destroyed our country and youth. They are sick and they were indoctrinated very subtly into the mental disorder known as liberal/ progressive terrorism.
For people who don't suffer from severe lack of common sense, things are looking up with a business mogul who has taken whatever task he dedicates himself to the very top. Donald Trump is officially president and had been a president elect that broke records before officially swearing in. He has changed the face of what politics will be like forever. No one has ever worked on being the president quite as hard as he has before he got the title of the most powerful person in the world.
But you couldn't tell the Libtards that. It's pure pandemonium in their minds. To them, it is the story of 'Chicken Little' and the sky is falling.
"The glass fronts of a Starbucks, a Bank of America branch, an Au Bon Pain, a local hotel and Bobby Van's Steakhouse were shattered Friday morning, along with the screen of an ATM at another bank, police and witnesses said."
In their mind, the Libs and progressives world is ending and all hope is lost if they don't stop him and his falsely accused "sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic" (or whatever new term they have imagined today) followers.

Things are so bad in their little minds right now different protests going on around Washington D.C. are turning into riots and chaos. It's like their own sick little festival, where they all shout "Not my president" while they pet fluffy pillows, play with play-doh and burn destroy hard working Americans belongings.

OK~ I am excited to share that I am a brand ambassador for the U.S. Cellular Better Moments Blogger Brigade. This is a sponsored post that I have been compensated for. The opinions expressed here are mine and nobody else's. As a long time U.S.Cellular Customer, my experiences are real.
We have been U.S. Cellular customers for several years, as it provides fantastic coverage where we live. In rural America cell phone service can often be challenging. When it comes to reliable cell phone service, U.S. Cellular responds. There has been more than one time that I have loaned my phone to a friend, who has unreliable cell phone service through another carrier, to use my U.S. Cellular phone to make a phone call. We are a family on the go, and it's of the utmost importance that we have reliable cell phone service. U.S. Cellular has provided that and is continuing to provide us with excellent service.
From unlimited texting to reliable cellular service, U.S. Cellular has kept our family connected through the years.
U.S. Cellular has a strong line-up of cutting-edge devices that are all backed by its high speed network that has the highest call quality of any national carrier.
Did you know that U.S. Cellular was named a J.D. Power and Associates Customer Service Champion in 2012 for the second year in a row? In 2013, the company also received their 15th consecutive J.D. Power and Associates' award for "Highest Network Quality Performance Among Wireless Cell Phone Users In The North Central Region."
When you switch to U.S. Cellular, you will not only have amazing cell phone service, you will also be treated as a member of the U.S. Cellular family. You can immediately enroll in the unique rewards programs that U.S. Cellular offers, as well as a unique plan that meets the needs of your family. The sales associates at U.S. Cellular are top notch and have always guided our family in the direction we have needed to go. And yes, the customer service has also been fantastic when we have misplaced or broken our cell phones. With two boys that have grown up in our house, we have had our fair share of those through the years.
I can't wait to share all of the exciting new things that U.S. Cellular has to offer throughout the next several months. Stay tuned, as I've got a lot of fun information for you. If you have been a U.S. Cellular customer, I'd love to hear about your experience. Ours has been a good one, as it has kept our family connected at all times. After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?

East Asian Pork Strips
The freshly ground pepper in the marinade releases an intense aroma when the pork chops are seared in a hot skillet. Rice with toasted sesame seeds pairs nicely with the Bourbon-spiked flavor of the pork chops.
How to Make It
Combine first 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag, and add pork to bag. Seal, and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
Combine soy sauce and the next 5 ingredients (soy sauce through honey) in a blender, and process until smooth. Pour the soy mixture into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove mixture from heat; stir in green onions.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork mixture to pan; cook, stirring frequently 6 minutes or until pork loses its pink color. Serve the pork with sauce.

Single solar cells can not be used directly to power. Power supply must be a number of single battery strings, connected in parallel and tightly packaged into components. Solar panels (also known as solar modules) are the core of solar power systems and the most important part of solar power systems.
The sun is irradiated on the semiconductor p-n junction to form a new hole-electron pair. Under the action of the p-n junction electric field, the holes flow from the p region to the n region. The electrons flow from the n region to the p region, and the current is formed after the circuit is turned on. This is the photoelectric effect of the working principle of solar cells.
Solar power generation There are two ways of solar power generation, one is the light - heat - electricity conversion, the other is the optical - electrical direct conversion.
(1) light - heat - electric conversion method through the use of solar radiation generated by thermal energy, usually by the solar collector will absorb the heat into the refrigerant refrigerant, and then drive the turbine power generation. The previous process is the light-heat conversion process; the latter process is the thermo-electrical conversion process.
(2) optical - electrical direct conversion method is the use of photoelectric effect, the solar radiation can be directly converted into electrical energy, optical - electrical conversion of the basic device is the solar cell. The solar cell is a device that converts solar energy directly into electrical energy due to the photovoltaic effect. It is a semiconductor photodiode. When the sun shines on the photodiode, the photodiode turns the solar energy into electricity. Current. When many batteries in series or in parallel can become a relatively large output power of the solar cell array.
Solar panels and various parts of the function:
(1) tempered glass: its role in order to protect the main power generation (such as battery), translucent its selection is required:
1. Transmittance must be high (generally more than 91%);
2. Ultra-white steel processing.
(2) EVA: used to bond fixed glass and power generation (battery), transparent EVA material directly affect the quality of the component life, exposure to the air in the EVA easy to aging yellow, thus affecting the components of light In addition to the quality of EVA itself, the components manufacturers of laminated technology is also very large, such as EVA glue degree is not up to standard, EVA and tempered glass, backplane bonding strength is not enough, will cause EVA Early aging, affecting component life.
(3) battery: the main role is the power generation, power generation main market is the mainstream of crystalline silicon solar cells, thin film solar cells, both of their advantages and disadvantages. Crystalline silicon solar cells, the cost of equipment is relatively low, but the cost of consumption and battery sheet is high, but the photoelectric conversion efficiency is also high, in the outdoor sun power generation more appropriate. Thin film solar cells, the relative cost of equipment is higher, but the consumption and battery cost is very low, but the photoelectric conversion efficiency is more than half of the crystalline silicon cell, but the low light effect is very good, in ordinary light can also generate electricity, such as the calculator Of the solar cells.
(4) back: the role of sealing, insulation, waterproof. Generally use TPT, TPE and other materials must be anti-aging, most components manufacturers are guaranteed for 25 years, tempered glass, aluminum alloy generally no problem, the key in the backplane and silicone can meet the requirements.
(5) aluminum alloy: protective laminates, from a certain seal, support role.
(6) junction box: the protection of the entire power generation system, play the role of the current transfer station, if the components of the short-circuit junction box automatically disconnect the short-circuit battery string, to prevent burning the entire system Junction box is the most critical diode selection, The type of battery chip is different, the corresponding diode is not the same.
(7) Silica gel: Seal effect, used to seal components and aluminum alloy frame, components and junction box at the junction of some companies use double-sided tape, foam instead of silica gel, the domestic use of silica gel, the process is simple, convenient, easy to operate, And the cost is very low.

Dunno about you – but winning a competition for which you have to be mediocre to qualify in the first place – a competition you were relegated to after failing to make it through to the knockout stages of a more presitgious competition in which you are the defending champions – that's not exactly something I'd put on my CV.
Some people saying "But it's a trophy! Wish we'd won it…"
What utter bollocks! You want us to be in the DumDum Thursday Night League of Also-Rans? Then I guess you'll be rooting for Newcastle and Spuds on Sunday. Just because something is shiny and silver doesn't make it a trophy. A trophy is something to aspire to.
The Europa League Cup is worse than – dare I say it – a fourth place trophy.
It's a Fifth Place Trophy.
(By the way: Newcastle's the third dwarf from the left. That's Tottenham in the pink. They didn't place.)
PS: Thanks to Otis Frampton, who has unknowingly contributed his fantastic dwarf illustration to this blog. Please check out his work. He's very talented.

|apr_bucket_pipe_creat and friends
|Tue, 13 Feb 2001 19:35:17 GMT
Following are three minor issues in the aftermath of the APR symbol name cleanup. I will submit patches for any/all of them if somebody concurs: (1) I just discovered another typo from the mass-rename: apr_bucket_create_pipe() became apr_bucket_pipe_creat(). (2) Apache's error bucket fuctions didn't get renamed to match the changes to APR-UTIL's buckets, so we still have functions like ap_bucket_create_error(); it's really confusing when you have ap_bucket_create_error() immediately following an apr_bucket_heap_create() or something. (3) Finally, apr_bucket_foo_notimpl became apr_bucket_notimpl_foo, which doesn't make much sense to me: WAS NOW apr_bucket_setaside_notimpl => apr_bucket_notimpl_setaside apr_bucket_split_notimpl => apr_bucket_notimpl_split apr_bucket_copy_notimpl => apr_bucket_notimpl_copy apr_bucket_destroy_notimpl => apr_bucket_notimpl_destroy These functions were named that way to match the names of the macros they're placeholders for, not because they're acting on a "notimpl" bucket, as this change would seem to imply. So I tend to think that this part of the change should be backed out. Of course, of the three issues mentioned here, this is probably the most debatable. --Cliff --------------------------------------------------- Cliff Woolley email@example.com 804-244-8615 Charlottesville, VA

- Upon Request
Below you will find the Rental Policy of Prestige Luxury Auto Rentals (hereinafter referred to as "Prestige" and or "We"). Please note that this policy is subject to change without notice, at the discretion of Prestige.
Rental Agreement
All clients of Prestige are required to complete a rental agreement prior to renting their selected vehicle(s). Along with the rental agreement the client must submit a copy of their driver's license as well as the driver's license of any other person that will be operating the vehicle. Prestige then checks the drivers licenses to ensure that the clients driving records are clean. We reserve the right to deny renting a vehicle, to any person, for any reason, at any time.
Age Requirements - The minimum age to rent a vehicle is 25. However, for certain vehicles, and for an additional charge, Prestige may rent to drivers younger than 25. However, in no case will we rent to drivers that are under 21.
All renters are required to have and must present proof to Prestige of their own personal liability and physical damage automobile insurance policies. Furthermore, the renter must confirm with their insurance carrier that the policy they have will cover the vehicle being rented. For renters who do not have personal insurance coverage, we offer full coverage insurance that may be purchased at an additional charge. PRESTIGE IS ONE OF THE FEW EXOTIC CAR RENTAL COMPANIES THAT CAN LEGALLY SELL YOU FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE. Most of the other companies sell you insurance that they cannot legally sell and therefore you have no legal coverage. Or they may try to sell you an insurance substitute which does not provide full coverage, so you may still have a huge liability.
Clients with a valid driver's license and passport from their native country may rent vehicles from Prestige.
If drivers other than the primary renter will be operating the vehicle they must be listed as additional drivers on the rental agreement. Each additional driver listed will be subject to the same requirements as the primary renter.
Delivery / Pickup- Whether you need to be picked up at the airport or a private residence, Prestige provides free pickup and drop off to any location in South Florida. If you will be outside of the south Florida area, don't worry we also deliver and pick up throughout the state of Florida. Please call us to find out more details.
Vehicles must be returned at the time stated on the rental agreement. We allot a 2 hour grace period in which a vehicle may be returned after the time noted. However, vehicles scheduled to be returned between 10 pm and 8am will not be given a grace period and must be returned at that specific time. Any vehicle returned after the grace period (if applicable) or late may be subject to additional rental fees.
Deposit Requirements
Prestige requires all of our renters to provide us with a deposit which will be used to cover any minor damages to vehicle. This deposit can be given in the form of a credit card authorization or cash. The cost for any damage found on the vehicle during its return inspection will be deducted from this deposit. The amount of this deposit will vary and will depend on if the renter has their own insurance policy as well the type of vehicle being rented.
When you make a reservation with Prestige you are required to give a deposit equal to one days rental of your selected vehicle. In the event you cancel less than 48 hours in advance of your rental you agree to pay this deposit to Prestige as a cancelation fee. Furthermore, during certain special events, Prestige may charge a cancellation fee equal to 100% of your rental, if your reservation is not cancelled 72 hours in advance of your rental. You will be notified in writing if this cancellation fee applies to your reservation.
Free pick up and drop off is included when a premium vehicle (one that costs $1000 and up per day) is rented for one day and when all other vehicles are rented for two days.
of Payment
We accept American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Cash as methods of payment for rental fees and damage deposits. Prestige does not accept personal or corporate checks.
All vehicles need to be returned with the same amount of gas as when you received it. If not, Prestige may impose a gas surcharge of $7.00 per gallon. Also when you do refuel a vehicle you need to use a Premium grade gasoline. If not, you will be charged a penalty of $500 for using a lesser grade. We check the grade of gasoline upon return of the vehicle so we will know.
While we do not offer refunds for vehicle rentals, our main goal is customer satisfaction and we will try our best to make your rental experience an unforgettable one. If for some reason you are less than satisfied, Prestige may at times offer additional days rentals at no cost, if deemed appropriate by us.
Area Restrictions
Our vehicles may not be driven outside the state of Florida.
Use of Vehicles
Our vehicles may not be used:
by anyone without a valid driver's license;
to surpass any legally posted speed limit;
to drive recklessly and or haphazardly;
by anyone not listed as an additional driver on the rental agreement;
in any speed test, speed contest, race, rally, speed endurance contest, demonstration, or on or near any racetrack or road course (this is not covered by our and very likely not covered by your insurance policy);
to push or tow anything;
to drive off road or on any other unpaved or unfinished surface;
for anything other than personal and private use; OR
for any illegal purpose;
In the event this Rental Policy is violated, we reserve the right to immediately take back the vehicle. Furthermore you agree to pay Prestige all fees incurred as a result of your violation of this policy.
The renter agrees that they are responsible for and shall pay for all parking, traffic, speeding or other tickets or violations (i.e. towing and impound fees) received while the vehicle is in their possession. Also, the time a vehicle spends in the impound is counted as if the car is being used by you. Therefore, you are still required to pay the rental fees and return the vehicle on time.
Clients are permitted to drive their rented vehicle 100 miles per rental day. All miles driven over this amount may be subject to an additional surcharge. . The surcharge imposed will depend on the vehicle rented as well as the miles driven. Please be sure to request the surcharge for you specific vehicle at the time of rental.
