Although pocket-sized touchscreen devices are arguably not the most comfortable way to read copious amounts of text, modern multifunction smartphones offer a convenient alternative to dedicated e-book devices such as Amazon's Kindle. With the right third-party software, an Android handset can transform into a capable e-book reader whenever you have a spare moment to dive into a novel.

Serum Biomarkers of Burkholderia Mallei Infection Elucidated by Proteomic Imaging of Skin and Lung Abscesses Clinical Proteomics. 2015 | Pubmed ID: 26034464 The bacterium Burkholderia mallei is the etiological agent of glanders, a highly contagious, often fatal zoonotic infectious disease that is also a biodefense concern. Clinical laboratory assays that analyze blood or other biological fluids are the highest priority because these specimens can be collected with minimal risk to the patient. However, progress in developing sensitive assays for monitoring B. mallei infection is hampered by a shortage of useful biomarkers.
Preparation of Viral Samples Within Biocontainment for Ultrastructural Analysis: Utilization of an Innovative Processing Capsule for Negative Staining Journal of Virological Methods. Dec, 2016 | Pubmed ID: 27751950 Transmission electron microscopy can be used to observe the ultrastructure of viruses and other microbial pathogens with nanometer resolution. In a transmission electron microscope (TEM), the image is created by passing an electron beam through a specimen with contrast generated by electron scattering from dense elements in the specimen. Viruses do not normally contain dense elements, so a negative stain that places dense heavy metal salts around the sample is added to create a dark border. To prepare a virus sample for a negative stain transmission electron microscopy, a virus suspension is applied to a TEM grid specimen support, which is a 3mm diameter fragile specimen screen coated with a few nanometers of plastic film. Then, deionized (dI) water rinses and a negative stain solution are applied to the grid. All infectious viruses must be handled in a biosafety cabinet (BSC) and many require a biocontainment laboratory environment. Staining viruses in biosafety levels (BSL) 3 and 4 is especially challenging because the support grids are small, fragile, and easily moved by air currents. In this study we evaluated a new device for negative staining viruses called mPrep/g capsule. It is a capsule that holds up to two TEM grids during all processing steps and for storage after staining is complete. This study reports that the mPrep/g capsule method is valid and effective to negative stain virus specimens, especially in high containment laboratory environments.
Accurate Virus Quantitation Using a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) Detector in a Scanning Electron Microscope Journal of Virological Methods. Jun, 2017 | Pubmed ID: 28668710 A method for accurate quantitation of virus particles has long been sought, but a perfect method still eludes the scientific community. Electron Microscopy (EM) quantitation is a valuable technique because it provides direct morphology information and counts of all viral particles, whether or not they are infectious. In the past, EM negative stain quantitation methods have been cited as inaccurate, non-reproducible, and with detection limits that were too high to be useful. To improve accuracy and reproducibility, we have developed a method termed Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy - Virus Quantitation (STEM-VQ), which simplifies sample preparation and uses a high throughput STEM detector in a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) coupled with commercially available software. In this paper, we demonstrate STEM-VQ with an alphavirus stock preparation to present the method's accuracy and reproducibility, including a comparison of STEM-VQ to viral plaque assay and the ViroCyt Virus Counter.

Martha O'Keefe, a homemaker from McLean, Va., whose multiple sclerosis has taken most of her eyesight, hadn't been able to read a letter, newspaper, magazine or theater program for 10 years.
In November, she brought home an Open Book. It's not a book book, but a startling combination of off-the-shelf personal computer technology and innovative software.
"Now, if I get a typed letter from a friend, I just go upstairs and put it on the machine and just let it read the letter to me," Mrs. O'Keefe said. "I can put almost anything on it. It's been a godsend."

How many times has someone asked you. "What church do you belong to?" Do you know that in the Bible you read of only one church for this dispensation or day in which we live? That Church is the Church which is Christ's Body -made up of all who put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.
The Apostle Paul speaks of this Church in Ephesians where speaking of the Lord Jesus he says in Chapter 1:22-23: "And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the Church, which is His Body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all." Notice, it says "the Church" - one Church, which is His Body. Also notice it says this again in Colossians 1:18, "And He is the Head of the Body, the Church." There is one church; the Body and the Church are one and the same.
Paul says the same thing in Colossians 1:24, "Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His Body's sake, which is the Church." Again we see one Church, which is His Body; all believers in Christ are members of that Body. Romans 12:5 tells us, "So we, being many, are one Body in Christ, and every one members one of another." In I Corinthians 12:27 we find. "Now ye are the Body of Christ, and members in particular."
How do you become a member of the one true Church which is His Body? By the baptism of God the Holy Spirit. I Corinthians 12:13 says, "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one Body." It does not say baptized into water, but into one Body. Also notice: the baptizer is the Spirit, not man. So it is the Spirit that baptizes us into the Body, the Church, where we become members one of another in Christ, This is the one baptism for the dispensation in which we live.
We also read of this one baptism by the Spirit in Romans 6:3: "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?" There is no water baptism in this verse. The baptism here is into Jesus Christ, into His death; and the results are seen in verse 4 where it says: "Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." Water baptism could not enable anyone to walk in newness of life, but God the Holy Spirit can and does. This one baptism is also spoken of in Galatians 3:26-28: "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
Water baptism could never do what is spoken of in these verses. First, it could never put us into Christ - only the Spirit can do that. Remember I Corinthians 12:13 said, "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one Body." Second, water baptism could never perform all that takes place in Galatians 3:26-28: we are baptized into Christ Jesus and put into a place where there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female. Truly, water baptism cannot begin to do this, let alone carry it through to completion. Only God can do this; only God the Holy Spirit can baptize us into the one Church which is His Body, where we are all one in Christ Jesus our Lord. This is God's work, not man's.
This operation is performed by God. Colossians 2:12-13 tells us: "Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, Who hath raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses." Notice, it does not say buried like Him, but with Him. Also we are risen with Him, and in verse 13 we are quickened or made alive with Him. When He died, we died; when He was buried, we were buried; when He arose, we arose. God made us alive with Him. Only God can perform this operation.
This is the one baptism for this Dispensation of the Grace of God in which we live today. Paul tells us there is only one baptism for today. Ephesians 4:4-6 says: "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
So, God's Word tells us there is one Church which is His Body. Ephesians 4:4 says "one Body," and verse 5 says "one baptism" - not two or more, but one. Do you realize that in the Bible you will find twelve different baptisms? As a matter of fact, Matthew 3:11 mentions three baptisms in one verse. "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire." Here we have one baptism with water, one baptism with the Holy Spirit, and one baptism with fire. So you must agree that when you see or hear the word "baptism," it does not always mean water baptism. In this particular verse, none of these baptisms is for today.
God's Word, in Ephesians 4:5, tells us there is only one baptism for the dispensation in which we live. This is the one divine baptism by which all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior are baptized by one Spirit into His Body, the Church.
Now, let me ask you: "What church do you belong to?" Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? Have you been baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Church which is His Body? If not, will you right now believe on the Lord Jesus Christ: believe that He died, was buried, and arose again? When you do this, you will at that moment be baptized into the one true Church, the Body of Christ.

Ajna Prints
I based the concept of my painting "Ajna", from my Dorothy Circus gallery Submerged solo show, on the third eye and how we need to open that eye to see the world and how we effect it. We need to protect the world we live in and become one with nature. I try to leave as small a carbon footprint as I can.
Ajna prints start in 12x12" Lasal Paper size from $30. You can choose the size, paper type & whether you'd like it signed or unsigned in the dropdown box. Fun options for ya! So you can decide if you want your new print sent to me for signing first for an extra fee, since I live in Vancouver Canada and it will cost a tad extra to have it come to me first to sign before heading to you, my lovely! My prints are standard sizes, so they're easy to frame, and handmade & hand-cut with love!
-You can customize your paper type and signature option.
-I have TWO paper options:
-Lasal paper is bright white with no texture. Its smooth paper with a medium thickness (230gsm)
-Entrada paper is a beautiful thick fine art paper (300gsm). It's a lightly textured luxurious paper made from cotton. This is a beautiful upgrade from a print to a fine art print!
-Please anticipate 2 weeks for production for unsigned prints
-Signed prints are made in Vancouver, Canada, and take production time due to shipping internationally. Thank you for your patience with this signed option, but I promise it'll be worth it to have my personal signature!

When developing a new xAPI integration, we always recommend that you send data to Sandbox so that your Production account is kept free of any 'bad statements' (xAPI statements are are improperly formed or contain incorrect information). Bad statements do still sometimes slip through the net, however, and occasionally Watershed clients have a need to remove xAPI statements from their account. It is possible to remove these statements using a combination of Watershed's CSV download and CSV upload functionality In a three step process:
- This is an advanced help guide that requires the ability to copy and paste JSON code.
- You'll need to be a Global Admin user in order to remove xAPI Statements from Watershed.
Step 1: Identify the Data to Remove
The first step is to identify exactly which xAPI statements need to be removed. This is done by configuring a card with filters such that it includes just the statements to be removed. Create a new Leaderboard card with the following Advanced Configuration:
{ "filter": { }, "dimensions": [ { "type": "STATEMENT_PROPERTY", "statementProperty": "id" } ], "measures": [ { "name": "Person Name", "aggregation": { "type": "LAST" }, "valueProducer": { "type": "STATEMENT_PROPERTY", "statementProperty": "actor.person.name", "caseSensitive": true } }, { "name": "Verb", "aggregation": { "type": "LAST" }, "valueProducer": { "type": "STATEMENT_PROPERTY", "statementProperty": "verb.id", "caseSensitive": true } }, { "name": "Object", "aggregation": { "type": "LAST" }, "valueProducer": { "type": "STATEMENT_PROPERTY", "statementProperty": "object.id", "caseSensitive": true } }, { "name": "Timestamp", "aggregation": { "type": "LAST" }, "valueProducer": { "type": "STATEMENT_PROPERTY", "statementProperty": "timestamp", "caseSensitive": true } } ] }
Depending on your data, you may need to change the language codes from "en" to "en-US" in order to see the object name and verb.
Then add filters to the card so that it contains the statements to be removed. Take great care to ensure that the card includes all of the statements to remove and no statements that should not be removed.
Step 2: Set Up The Statement Voiding Template
In xAPI, statements are removed from circulation by sending another xAPI statement that marks the original statement as voided. This is done instead of just deleting the original statement because in scenarios where you have multiple connected LRSs, all LRSs need to know that the statement is void, rather than just deleting the statement in one LRS.
You can use Watershed's Data Conversion Engine to generate the xAPI statements that will void the statements that you want to remove. Go to Data / Other Data Sources / Manage Import Templates. If the 'Statement Void' template does not already exist, click Add Import Template to add it.
Call the template 'Statement Void' and click Next until you get to the final step. Paste in the following statement template and Click Save:
{ "statements": [ {{#ifEquals columns.[Dimension 1] "Average"}}{{else}} { "actor" : { "mbox" : "mailto:email@example.com" }, "verb" : { "id":"http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/voided" }, "object" : { "objectType":"StatementRef", "id" : "{{columns.[Dimension 1]}}" } } {{/ifEquals}} ] }
Step 3: Download and Upload the CSV
You're now ready to remove the statements. Return to the card you created and choose Download Data Tables. Check the CSV file you download very very carefully to ensure that these are in fact the statements that you want to remove. Once you upload this file to remove the statements, there's no turning back!
Armed with your carefully checked CSV file, return to Data / Other Data Sources , select the Statement Void template and drag and drop the file to upload.
Once the import is complete, the statements will be voided and there will be no way to unvoid them. Clicking the 'Void' button next to the import to void the voiding will not work as xAPI does not allow voiding statements to be voided themselves.
While Voided and voiding statements do not appear in reports at all, if you void a large amount of data (tens of thousands of statements or more) then it's possible that the voided and voiding statements could have a negative impact on the performance of some features of your Watershed account. Please let us know if you void a large number of statements (either in one go or over a period of time) so that we can clear the voided and voiding statements out of your account.

Deputies: Meth Lab Found During Pot Investigation
Pair Charged In Goshen Drug Bust
Deputies: Meth Lab Found During Pot Investigation
Pair Charged In Goshen Drug Bust
GOSHEN, Ohio —
Sheriff's deputies said they found a methamphetamine lab while investigating a complaint about a marijuana growing operation.
Agents investigated an anonymous complaint about the pot operation Monday afternoon at a home in the 2400 block of Cedarville Road, and they said they found an active meth lab there.
They arrested two people at the Goshen home, where deputies said they found a significant amount of meth and chemicals used to make the drug.
Deputies also seize two handguns, cash and a Jeep Wrangler.
Kimberly Kelly, 43, of Goshen, and Frederick Hofer Jr., 37, of Loveland, were each charged with one count of illegal manufacture of drugs.
Additional charges are possible, deputies said.

Not everyone's an Internet Geek and understanding SEO is an involved exercise 🙂 Leading on from our first post on SEO for Beginners, we've put down some actionable items that will help you kickoff SEO for your website.
Read on to know what else you should keep in mind while building the SEO process for your website.
1. Don't try to trick a Search Engine
This 'strategy' could probably back fire and your site might lose quite a bit of ranking if detected by the Google algorithms running in the background. Once flagged, it takes a lot of time to regain the position.
2. SEO Link should be appropriate
Links aren't everything in SEO, but search professionals attribute a large portion of the engines' algorithms to link-based factors. Through links, engines can not only analyze the popularity of a website & page based on the number and popularity of pages linking to them, but also metrics like trust, spam, and authority.
A well constructed link to this article would look something like:
SEO for Beginners Part 2
3. Page Name matters
Don't laugh this one off, it really does matter! Many search engines actually parse out the file name of the page and log any discernable keywords they find. So, if your page's URL address is something cryptic like "http://www.bigrock.in/domains/domainregistration/index.php" then search engines are not picking up on anything useful in the URL. If at all possible it is best to create URL paths that make sense to a search engine. An example of a search engine friendly URL would be "http://www.bigrock.in/domain-registration/index.php".
4. Build a site map
Remember there are search crawlers browsing through your website and they're the ones who'll be ranking your site, so why not make it easy for them? Build a site map page and place a link to the site map on every single page of your website, usually in the footer. This practice will ensure that a crawler can easily navigate your website and catalog every page.
5. Submit your website to Search Engines like Google, Yahoo & Bing
Manually submitting your site to the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and Bing offers a few advantages: it ensures that the search engines will crawl your site, and can help your site get into an index faster.
6. Back links – How to get other websites to link to your site?
Probably the hardest thing to do is getting other sites to link to yours. You need good rankings so that your pages can be found and linked by more websites to improve your rankings. You can also use link exchange services where your banner or text links appear on other websites in a random rotating fashion but this method is too hit and miss with no significant results for improving rankings or driving traffic to your website. Most simply you could have a "link to our website" suggestion on every page that you are trying to get linked.
These are some of the very basic pointers you must keep in mind while building your website SEO. Anything over and above this is always welcome 🙂

Welcome to Nursery Near Me
We will provide you with up to date information and guidance to allow you to find the right nursery to suit your needs, within your area.
The Growing Need for Children's Nurseries
We explore is there a growing need for Children's nurseries?
A children's nursery provides safe care for children who are from a few months old to the age when they start to attend pre-school in the UK.
This is owing to the increasing need for both parents to go out and earn an income. As well as the increasing number of one parent families.
Children's nurseries are becoming higher in demand. People are more regularly searching for phrases just as Nursery Near Me; in order to find a local option.
Although there is probably no better care for your child than what you can give it.
There is often a need to place the child in someone else's care for at least part of the day.
Obviously the best choice would be a grandparent if they were willing and if they lived close enough to make it a viable option. Although if not you mayl have to pay for that care.
Although some people opt to have a child-minder come to their house to take care of the child. This is not common and most people take their child to a children's nursery.
Choosing a Nursery
With there being somewhere in the region of 11,500 children's nurseries in the UK. There is a good chance that there will be more than one in your area.
This means you will have to choose which would be the best for your child.
The first thing that you will probably have to consider is the location of the nursery. Is it somewhere where you can easily drop the child off at and pick it up later?
Does this mean the nursery will have to be close to your home or to your place of work?
Even then there may be more than one to choose from. So here are some of the other things you should take into consideration when choosing where you will leave your child.
If I was seraching for a nursery near me, these are the kind of things I would consider:
• Opening Hours – You will want to consider what time the nursery will accept children in the mornings and what time they can be picked up.
Also you will of course have to decide before this, if the child will stay there for just part of the day or all day.
• Cost – Different nurseries have different prices and so this is one of the things you will probably want to know. Certainly prior to deciding if the child will stay there all day or for just part of the day.
• Pick-Up Rules – You will want to ensure that they have strict rules as to who can pick-up a child. Then when you decide which one you are going to use, ensure they clearly understand who you will permit to pick your child up.
• Friends – Before making your choice, you may want to check if any of your friend's children use that nursery. As well as if they do; have they had any problems?
• Observe – When paying your first visit to the nursery to make enquiries, notice if the children seem happy and if the staff seem to take adequate attention to them.
• Bathroom – Check the bathroom facilities and if necessary ask what their policy is on potty training if any.
Other Considerations
• Activities – You should ask what recreational facilities are available for the children if any. Ensure that your child takes a toy or something to keep them amused if none are available at the nursery.
Having decided which nursery you will send your child to and for what hours during the day. There are still other things that you will need to know if you want your child to be safe and happy.
Some of these things are:
• Snacks – If your child gets hungry, does the nursery provide at least snacks for them? Or will a child be expected to bring their own?
• Sleep- When a child grows tired whilst at the nursery, are there facilities? Would this allow them to nap in peace and safety?
• Illness – What is the nursery's policy on sickness?
Is there adequate staff to take care of the children should one of the staff have to miss due to illness?
• Child Illness – If a child becomes sick whilst at the nursery, what is the policy?
Is there medical staff on hand or will the parents be informed and be expected to pick up their child?
This may seem like a lot of questions that need to be asked.
However they are all relevant to your child's well-being and so therefore important.
Other Options
There is increasing concern in the UK about children's nursery prices increasing at a faster rate than inflation.
This has led to some people preferring to use an independent child-minder.
A recent survey showed that the price of a child–minder can now be cheaper than sending a child to a nursery. Perhaps this has convinced some parents to remove their child from a nursery.
Although you may make some savings by using an independent child-minder. There are still many questions you will want to ask them before hiring them.
There are also additional concerns that you will have to take into consideration.
One of the concerns is of course does the minder have any references?
How long have they been minding children or what experience do they have?
You will certainly have the extra concern of knowing what actions you will take to ensure your child is adequately taken care of.
Especially if the minder is sick for a day or more.
Government Assistance
Regardless of how much we earn, we would always like financial assistance from the government.
Before you decide on who will look after your child and for how long each day. You should carry out some checks.
Are there any government, financial programs that will help pay for your child's care?
If so ensure that the person or facility you choose to mind your child, is in compliance with any criteria the government may place.
This will ensure you are eligible to make the necessary claims.
These government initiatives may change from one region to another. So ensure you read the ones that apply to your location.
Remember though that although cost is always a concern, the safety of your child is always a bigger one.
Children's Nurseries in the UK
Although most people will only look at children's nurseries as somewhere you can leave your child in safety for a period of the day. As it is a multi-billion dollar industry, some people look at them as money making opportunities.
In the UK there are said to be over 11,500 day care facilities for children. Between them they take in almost 5 billion pounds per year.
This is a lot of money and is money which is paid by the average parent, in order that they can be assured of their child's safety whilst they go out and earn money.
The problem is though, with children's nursery prices increasing, is it still viable for both parents to keep working?
Or is it more financially beneficial for one parent to stay at home to mind the children?
Children's Nursery
First of all let's look at what a children's nursery is.
A children's nursery is a place for children of various stages. Ranging in age from just a few months to an age when they are ready to start pre-school, can be left in safety.
This is under adequate supervision, for either part of a day or for all day between certain hours.
There is no hard and fast rule as to whether or not a child should go to a nursery. So it is very much a decision which has to be made by the child's parents.
Often though, a child needs to be taken care of for at least part of the day. Especially if both its parents work or if it is from a one parent family and that parent works.
This is because most places of employment do not cater to young children being present in the work place.
Although it would obviously be nice to be able to place your child in a nursery whilst you were at work. For some, it is financially challenging.
Over the last 5 years the cost for a child to just stay part time at a nursery, has increased by almost 30% so parents now have to pay on average £6,000 per year.
Other Options
If there was no obvious solution to a nursery near me. Then I would look at some other options.
A parent does have other options however and some of those options may start to seem more financially viable whilst children nursery prices continue to increase.
A recent survey has shown that whilst the cost to send a 2 year old to a nursery part-time, has increased by 4.1% to £109.83 per week.
Over the last year on average, the cost of a part-time child-minder for a child of the same age has only increased by 2.5% to £103.04 per week.
It is perhaps because of these high costs that many parents are leaving their children with the child's grandparents whilst they are at work.
However that is only an option if the grandparents are in agreement and if they live in close proximity.
Government Help
With the costs involved and the high number of families that are affected by these increasing costs.
It is little wonder that the government is now trying to render some financial assistance to qualifying families.
In 2016 the government is introducing a pilot scheme that will increase the number of hours that a parent can claim for child care services.
In England, the current allowance that can be claimed for is 570 hours for 3 and 4 year olds.
This equates to 15 hours a week for 38 weeks. The pilot scheme will increase this to 30 hours per week, providing the parents earn less than £100,000 per annum.
In other parts of the UK there are similar allowances such as in Scotland you can claim for up to 600 hours and you may also qualify to claim for a 2 year old if you meet certain criteria.
In Northern Ireland you can claim for 12.5 hours of child care per week, again for 38 weeks each year. Within Wales you can claim for up to 10 hours of free education for 3 and 4 year olds.
In these days when most country's economies are tight, it is becoming increasingly necessary for both parents in a family to work. Although they need to in order to pay the bills and put food on the table.
However, if the cost of child care continues to increase at a higher rate than wages do. Parents will be forced to make a decision as to what they should do in terms of child care.
Obviously if the cost of child care is higher than what the lowest paid parent earns. It would not be financially viable for them to pay child care.
They would be better off with one parent staying at home to care for the children at no cost.
The Future
The present government has recognized this as an increasing problem. That is why they have started to introduce pilot schemes for children's nurseries some areas.
An opposition party is also aware of the problem. They have said that they would increase the numbers of children receiving free child care.
Is this all going to be enough though? As the only thing which is certain is, there will always be children that need to be taken care of.
As well as many parents that earn too little.
The problem should perhaps be addressed by placing a limit on how much children's nurseries can charge. Whilst ensuring that their prices do not increase more than the cost of living.
Certainly not increase more than the average incomes.
As one of a nursery's highest costs is salaries, this should not unduly affect its ability to provide a good and safe service.
Of course it may mean though that the owners of the nurseries may not make so much profit.
This is going to remain an ongoing problem unless it is handled in a manner which affects the long term.
As children will always need to be safely looked after and parents are increasingly not going to be able to afford that care.
It also becomes a bigger problem as there become an increasing number of one parent families.
If you need support finding suitable childcare in your area. Then you could consider searching for phrases such as 'Local nursery', 'nursery near me' or even 'nursery in my area'. This should help you to narrow down your options.

Santa Cruz, Sausalito (California) — Officials were contending with new fires in Northern California on Tuesday as progress continued on the blazes that have ravaged wine country.
Five firefighters were injured in a fast-moving wildfire in the Santa Cruz Mountains, one of several wildfires burning across California. The Bear fire in Boulder Creek had burned more than 150 acres Tuesday and was 5% contained, officials said. About 150 people have been evacuated.
To the north in Sausalito, firefighters battled two small vegetation fires near the 101 Freeway. The Marin County sheriff urged people living near the fires to evacuate but eventually lifted that order.
The southbound 101 Freeway was closed temporarily in the community of Marin City, according to the Mill Valley Police Department. The California Highway Patrol warned of delays on the freeway.
Elsewhere in the state, authorities evacuated at least a dozen people from Mt. Wilson on Tuesday morning, as a 30-acre wildfire burning in the San Gabriel Mountains threatened to damage the historic mountaintop observatory and an array of television broadcast towers, according to officials.
Meanwhile in wine country, more people returned to their homes on Tuesday. Officials continued the search for dozens of missing people, and fire crews gained additional ground on the deadly blazes that have scorched more than 210,000 acres and killed at least 41.
The four largest fires there were all more than 50% contained as of Tuesday morning.
The 52,894-acre Nuns fire, which gave firefighters the most trouble over the weekend, was 68% contained.
Crews made progress against the two parts of the fire closest to the cities of Sonoma and Santa Rosa, officials told firefighters at a morning briefing at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. Some parts of the area remained evacuated.
"Today and the next few days, there's a lot less smoke in the air and a lot less media attention here, but the job's not done," said Steve Crawford, operations section chief for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (Reuters) - Firefighters began gaining ground on wildfires that killed at least 41 people in the past week, the deadliest blazes in California's history, as winds eased and searchers combed charred ruins for more victims with hundreds still missing.
The most destructive Northern California fires were more than half contained by Monday, and tens of thousands of residents who had fled the flames in hard-hit Sonoma County were allowed to return to their homes north of San Francisco.
More than 5,700 structures were destroyed by more than a dozen wildfires that ignited a week ago and consumed an area larger than New York City. Entire neighborhoods in the city of Santa Rosa were reduced to ashes.
"The weather has improved from the high, dry winds we experienced last week, but there's still winds and high temperatures at high elevations," said Amy Head, a Cal Fire spokeswoman. "Even if the winds don't pick up, it's really steep country and we could have some issues with embers flying across lines. We're not out of the woods yet."
Mendocino County authorities said power company PG&E would begin flying low in the county to check lines and re-establish power.
About 11,000 firefighters supported by air tankers and helicopters were battling blazes that have consumed more than 213,000 acres (86,200 hectares).
About 50 search-and-rescue personnel backed by National Guard troops were combing tens of thousands of charred acres in Sonoma County for bodies, sheriff's spokeswoman Misti Harris said.
"Once it's safe to go through, we'll search every structure," she said.
Twenty-two people were killed in Sonoma County and 174 were still listed as missing, though the number was dropping as more people checked in with authorities.
The driver of a private water tender died in Napa County in a vehicle rollover on Monday, officials said.
Evacuation orders were lifted for the picturesque Napa Valley resort town of Calistoga, whose 5,000 residents were ordered out by authorities four days ago.
In Redwood Valley, a scorched Mendocino County town of about 1,700 people, Jami Flores and her family sifted through the ruins of their two-story rental home, which was reduced to rubble.
"There's been a lot of crying and a lot of emotions," Flores, 42, said.
Flores, her husband and daughter fled last week after being awoken by the smell of smoke, not uncommon in the area. Seeing a red haze, they rushed to leave amid falling ash and arriving firefighters.
"The mountain was on fire," Flores said. Now she wonders, "Where do we all go next?"
Firefighters gained control of two of the deadliest fires in wine country's Napa and Sonoma counties: The Tubbs fire was 70 percent contained and the Atlas fire 68 percent contained, Cal Fire said. Half of the Redwood Valley fire, which alone was responsible for eight deaths in Mendocino County, was extinguished by Monday.
The 41 confirmed fatalities make the fires California's deadliest since record-keeping began, surpassing the 29 deaths from the Griffith Park fire of 1933 in Los Angeles.
About 40,000 people remained displaced.
At least a dozen Napa Valley and Sonoma County wineries were damaged or destroyed, throwing the state's wine industry and related tourism into disarray.
Cal Fire estimated the fires would be contained by Friday.
The year's wildfire season is one of the worst in U.S. history, with nearly 8.6 million acres (3.4 million hectares) burned by Oct. 13, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The worst on record for the same period in a year was 9.3 million acres in 2015.

I highly recommend Joshua and the team to anyone needing SEO and digital marketing services. He is professional, talented, and dedicated to his work.
Along with providing SEO services, he designed my website and put together an effective digital marketing strategy for all of the pages and structure of my business website. This included photo layout, content on pages, online marketing strategy and more. I originally signed a 6 month contract for SEO services, but I was so satisfied with the service, I renewed our contract for an additional 6 months to further promote my companies SEO needs.
Joshua brought my website from lower rankings to many first page search engine rankings all on a steady rise throughout the contract. He submitted bi-weekly updates including photos documenting his work. After about 6 months as rankings increased, I starting getting leads for my business. They became more frequent as time went on.

Hello all. In my recent frustrations, I have decided to create my own website and network, in which I hope to continue in my strong efforts to help inform families, survivors, and the world the truths of the Troubled Teen Industry. I found myself getting extremely frustrated with other websites; in which I agree with their main purpose, but have the belief in my personal opinion, that that main purpose, gets mixed up into the wrong hands. These sites, are not regulated, which is fine if that is how they choose to operate. However, I do choose to have my site regulated, in order to provide a clearer, more accurate, and precise vision regarding the Troubled Teen Industry. I am not in any way, prejudice to these sites, except in cases where they seem to not have regulation of what is being put out there. This is my personal view, and not meant in any way to attempt to discredit anyone who is trying to fight this cause.
Please stay tuned, I am still working on the site.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and for your time.

Feared from your sudden emergence
There is a considerable divergence
But It's muddled without you
Its limit's perdition
But It's abjured many beliefs
And Its soul has been surrendered to thief's
You gave up on it long before
Resulting in dereliction
It'll never wear out the reasons to knock at your door
You had it at crucifixion
It's extant but unconcious
You deplete it as it smolders
Its limit's perdition
It is me

Why Train High Kicks?

I promise this isn't really my letter to Santa! It's my pick of the best options for vegan gifts this Christmas.
Before I begin my list, I want to take a moment to stress the importance of reducing our consumption and being conscious consumers. I like to give to my loved ones of course, but without going too overboard. Choose wisely, choose items you feel will be well-loved and long-lasting.
Make gifts where you can too. Food gifts are always well received, maybe you have other talents? I live with two artists so I know they'll be giving me something creative. I have included some ideas for making gifts at the end of this post as well. I still have things friends have made me from decades ago, I treasure them more than anything else I have been given. In my family we are all making one gift for each other- I better get onto mine now that I think about it.
I also recommend supporting local businesses, where possible. So scout around your area and see whats on offer, ask questions about the materials, the company behind it, that sort of thing. If you can't find something locally, then online shopping might be your best bet. The internet has made things a lot easier to find vegan-friendly gifts, so I have compiled a list of some gorgeous things I think are perfect Xmas pressies, with links to online stores if you need them.
HEDGE WYCH Bodycare Gift Bag- £15.00
I have tried quite a few Hedge Wych products now and have honestly loved every one. My most favourite has been the Starry Skies Bath Salts, which is one of the four options for this gift bag. Inside each bag is a handmade soap ( they're gorgeous ), a 75g tin of Bath Salts, and 30ml moisturising oil, in your choice of fragrance. It would make a wonderful christmas gift for anyone and you're also supporting a small British company as well.
KAT VON D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick- £16
available at debenhams.com
Kat Von D is now in the UK! You'll find a selection of her products at Debenhams, and this Everlasting Liquid Lipstick is a real favourite amongst Kat Von D make-up fans.
available at edenperfumes.co.uk
I was so surprised to find this little UK based company that made vegan perfume. What's also really cool is you can match them up to designer brands that you know you like. My husband and I tried one each and were really impressed at how similar they were. This is a unique gift that your vegan friend will be very grateful for, vegan perfume really isn't easy to find.
Crown Slippers £69.95
available at vegetarian-shoes.co.uk
I was looking on this site for mens shoes and found these fabulous Crown Slippers! A slightly more extravagant gift but lots of fun and of course, practical too. They make a brilliant and quirky gift.
Booja Booja Truffles box from £6.99
available in a wide range of supermarkets, health stores and online at planetorganic.com
Any of the Booja Booja chocolates would be a beautiful gift, they're exquisite chocolates. I particularly recommend the Hazelnut and Around Midnight Espresso.
Vegetable spiralizer £14.99
available at lakeland.co.uk
This is a great kitchen gadget for a anyone, but raw vegans particularly would get a lot of use out of this. You can find different brands and styles, the one I have selected is a good value and well designed one I found. I would recommend ones with suction cups to hold the spiralizer steady and metal replaceable blades. The little hand held ones are cheaper but not as effective and I don't think they would work with some root vegetables very well.
HOW NOT TO DIE by Dr Michael Greger £11.99
available at all good bookstores, or online at waterstones.com
For the vegan who is interested in the nutrition side of things, this book is the perfect gift. While the title is somewhat exaggerated, the contents of the book is what matters and it is a best seller for a reason. Dr Greger founded a website, nutrition facts.org, which provides free and easy-to-understand science-based information on a huge range of nutrition topics. In this book, Dr. Michael Greger examines the fifteen top causes of death in America—heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more—and shows us what nutritional and lifestyle habits will lower your risks of suffering from them. Like his educational videos, his book lists all the studies he bases his conclusions on, along with some helpful tips and a few recipes of his own. It's the perfect book to read while you've got some time off over Christmas.
Briefcase £135
available at mattandnat.com
I have a Matt and Nat backpack and one of their wallets, both I love, and my daughter was lucky enough to get spoilt on her birthday with one of the handbags. They're all extremely well made, very sturdy and beautiful at the same time. They are a more expense gift, but if you can stretch your budget a little, this stylish briefcase will last for many years.
Belt from £31
available at wills-vegan-shoes.com
I got one of these belts for my husband last year as a birthday gift and it's still going strong! It's well crafted, just as strong and durable as any other belt. Wills also have a great selection of shoes.
Isa Does it by Isa Chandra Moskowitz £20
available at all good bookstores or online at waterstones.com
There are loads of great vegan cookbooks out there but I like everything I have seen from Isa so far and this is the one I put on my own christmas wish list! Her recipes are really popular, seem easy-to-follow and look totally delicious too.
Gifts to Make
All you need to make the foodie gifts look special, is a jar or cool tin of some kind. The cheese ball could be wrapped in cheese cloth and then some simple brown paper, keeping it refrigerated until the last minute. I am making at least half of these in the next few weeks myself!
Salted Caramel Sweets
Hazelnut Chocolate Balls
Pistachio & Cranberry Nut Cheese Ball
Vegan Bath Salts
Ribbon Bookmarks
Antioxidant Chocolate Face Mask
Glow Scrub
Homemade Vegan Oil-Free Granola
Ginger Cookies
Vegan Chocolate Pumpkin Cake Mix in a Jar

What is Errors and Omissions Insurance?
Errors and omissions (E&O) coverage is part of a professional liability insurance policy most of the time. It covers damages caused by the real estate agent (errors) or damages caused by something the real estate agent failed to do (omissions). Customers can claim that you acted incorrectly on their behalf, and that the error caused them harm or cost them money.
Why do I need Errors and Omissions Insurance?
Errors & omissions (E&O) coverage is not included on a commercial general liability policy. Commercial general liability policies DO NOT provide coverage for contract disputes, errors, or any other professional liability occurrences.
Real estate companies, agents, or brokers who have liability coverage without errors and omissions coverage are at serious risk. It would be like a doctor that is practicing medicine without a malpractice insurance policy.
Mistakes can happen. Every company is liable to mess up at some point. A real estate agent can't be everywhere at once and handle every job. Errors and omissions (E&O) coverage insures your mistakes, but also the mistakes of any employees you might have or independent contractors you might hire.

For those of you with busy lives the automatic coffee machine has become a saviour in your pursuit to produce consistent, great tasting coffee whether at work looking for your morning jolt or at work staving off the post lunch lull. However, just like semi-automatic or manual espresso machines, these too require care, attention and tweaking to get the most out of them, so we thought we'd give you a few pointers. The beauty of these super-automatic coffee machines is that once you've adjusted them, the work is done, so 5 minutes now and you'll be drinking great coffee for months.
Fine Grinder Setting
Your fully automatic coffee machine will have an in-built grinder, so you just pour in the beans press the button and away you go right? It's important to make sure your grinder is set correctly, just like on a manual machine, to ensure the espresso is properly extracted. The key here is to find the finest grind possible that still allows your machine to brew coffee, this will draw the most possible flavour from your beans and result in the best tasting coffee possible.
Every machine is different so there is no hard and fast rule, the only course of action here is to start as fine as the machine goes and trial and error. This means of course a few minutes of testing different brews. If the grind is too fine the machine will be extracted too fast and the result will be a thin, weak, bitter espresso. Just keep adjusting in increments until the coffee is extracted slowly but smoothly with an almost syrupy consistency.
The dosage size is the amount of water that is passed through the ground coffee. Standard measurements are around 30mls for a double espresso and 15 for a single. Of course there is some flexibility depending on what cups/drinks you are making. A coffee machine will only produce quality espresso to a certain volume, after that you will be drawing out the unappealing tastes of the coffee.
Note: We recommend Long Black/Americano drinkers should pour an espresso and top up with a separate hot water tap. Larger automatic machines will have this function.
The water you use through your machine is a crucial part of the process. Impurities and chemicals found in the mains supply can drastically affect taste of your coffee. That is why at Café Corporate we fit all our plumbed Jura Automatics with a small inline Aqua L'eau water filter. Wherever possible you should be using filtered water. If your machine is plumbed it is not difficult to get a small filter attached to the piping, potentially inside the machine or on the line. This is the most cost effective method but filter your water however you can. This will also greatly prolong the life of your machine.
This is the boring, non-barista part of the process. Like all coffee machines your automatic will need to be maintained and cleaned. Depending on your machine this can be an easy process. Many machines have a self-cleaning setting but there are various processes that could be applied. Ensure you descale, clean and wash your machine inside and out. This also includes the grinder, which should be wiped and scrubbed to remove any old, stale ground coffee. This should only be a weekly process at most but again the quality of your coffee will be greatly improved and so will the service life of your machine.
Follow these few steps and your automatic coffee machine should be producing great coffee for years to come.

A sub-question asked those convinced why there's global warming. The Dems and indies come down on the side of human activity over natural patterns, 53-18 and 32-17 respectively, while the convinced Republicans come down 18-16 on the side of natural patterns.
A Fark headline from earlier today, as Fark headlines so often do, cut right to the point:
"Pew poll finds 53% of Republicans do not believe in global warming. No word on whether global warming cares what Republicans think of it"
And there's the rub.
Nature doesn't care.
When nature decides it wants to do something badly enough, it really doesn't care what the humans think of it. It doesn't care what speeches are made, what laws are passed, who wins an election, how much money is spent, whether the budget's been drained. The only thing the humans can do is make something strong enough to stop it. There had better be a barrier high enough, long enough, thick enough and strong enough to hold back the water, or there's going to be a flood. There had better be enough water to cool the lava flow quickly enough, or it's going to swallow up whatever it wants, and even then it may not be enough. The heating or heat retention system had better be robust enough, or you're going to freeze in that blizzard. And on the inverse, when nature doesn't want to make any more of a finite resource, you'd better be done using it by the time it runs out, or there's a whole lot of things that aren't going to be usable anymore. Hope you didn't need them.
Quite often, the human resources required to hold back these acts of nature are far beyond what humans could ever hope to muster. Too bad. Nature doesn't care. If human capacity were, hypothetically, only strong enough to earthquake-proof structures against, say, an 8.0 quake, and then a 9.0 comes along, those buildings are coming down. Humanity's best just isn't good enough. And if it's not good enough, there's little humanity can do except run for its life.
And there's no partial credit given either. A $10 million levee that barely fails and a $10 levee that completely fails end up looking exactly the same in the end. Either way, there's a gigantic floodplain and a bunch of broken construction remnants afterwards. The levee holds, or it doesn't. The house withstands the earthquake, or it doesn't. The house is rendered unlivable by mold, or it isn't. The volcano swallows up the house, or it doesn't. The ground underneath the house on a hill is stable enough to keep from being part of a mudslide, or it isn't. The house is high enough to stay out of the flood, or it isn't. People survive through a natural disaster, or they don't.
This also applies to proactive measures taken by humans. You don't believe in global warming? Fine then. We won't use global warming as an example. Let's set that entire discussion aside. We'll use invasive species. No denying the existence of those and in order to be considered invasive, a species' introduction must be indisputably the act of human intervention. We could use starlings, rabbits, killer bees, the Asian long-horned beetle, carp, or anything else you find on this list, but we'll focus here on kudzu, which is common throughout the heavily-Republican south (imagine that). Japan introduced it in 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia; it looked nice enough that Americans used it for decoration. In the 1920's, people started actively planting it, and in the 1930's, it was promoted as a form of erosion control during the Dust Bowl, with farmers being paid to plant it by the 40's. It grew very well. Too well. Way, way too well. So well that it started choking out everything that wasn't kudzu. So well that by 1972, it had gone from being something the government paid to have planted to being something the government called a weed.
Kudzu grows better in the United States than in its native Asia, mainly for the reason that when it came over, the insects that eat kudzu didn't come with it. And that's a common theme with invasive species: the places to which they're introduced lack their natural predators, and in nature, no predators means unchecked growth.
But even after being called a weed, kudzu is still hell to remove. Once again, nature doesn't care what kudzu is called. If you want it out, it means an effort that lasts several years to get rid of a single weed. As nature.org advises, "To successfully control kudzu, its extensive root system must be completely eradicated by cutting vines just above the ground and mowing every month for two growing seasons—all cut material must be destroyed." Clemson University goes even further, saying "Because of its rapid growth (up to 60 feet per year), a single surviving kudzu plant can spread and re-infest a site within a few growing seasons. Eradication requires multiple broadcast applications of herbicide and follow-up spot treatments over a period of 4 to 10 years. Establishment of pine trees or other crops should not be attempted for at least 4 years after control measures are initiated."
If you can't muster that effort, too bad. Kudzu doesn't care. Have fun with your kudzu, and as Southerners will advise, close your windows at night or the kudzu will creep in.
Believe in global warming or don't. But, like kudzu, like any form of nature's wrath, if and when the consequences of it show up at your doorstep, either be ready to deal with them, or be ready to run. Nature never asked your opinion about it. Nature does not refrain from plowing over humanity because that might not poll well. Nature doesn't care.

Let's face it, losing weight is tough work. We try many types of diet plans and various routines of exercises that are prescribed by our friends and colleagues, but at the end, nothing gives us true results. Many people enroll in various professional weight reduction programs, paying money and ultimately failing to follow the strict and impossible routines and diets that they ask you to follow.#
The 3 week diet a personal trainer and a nutritional specialist. He had done true research on the human anatomy and gained knowledge of how fat works inside our body and has designed this diet plan. The system used smart dieting to lose fat and some light exercise to increase the body's metabolism.
So even users who don't like exercising much can follow this plan and reduce weight. The routine claims that by following simple steps users can reduce up to 23 pounds in 21 days and without any side effects since the plan is free of drugs and artificial ingredients,
The plan consists of 3 phases which are easy to follow by any normal people. The first thing in fat reduction is removing all the toxins from your body; hence various detoxifying drinks made from natural, readily available products are given. Then comes the dieting, which includes low carbohydrates food and fiber rich fruits. These will increase vital vitamins in your body and reduce the fat content.
