Al Jazira remain in Asian Champions League hunt after 'disappointing' goalless draw against Tractor Sazi
Abu Dhabi club are three points behind Group A leaders Al Ahli at the midway stage of the campaign
Midway through their Asian Champions League Group A campaign, UAE champions Al Jazira remain in the hunt to progress.
The Abu Dhabi club, struggling in the Arabian Gulf League, stay second in the continental standings, in part courtesy of Monday night's 0-0 draw at home to Iran's Tractor Sazi, in part thanks to Al Gharafa's late equaliser against Al Ahli Jeddah.
As it is, Jazira sit locked on four points with third-placed Gharafa, three off leaders Ahli with three games to play. Nevertheless, the stalemate frustrated coach Henk ten Cate, as has the recent criticism. Once more, Jazira put out a relatively patched up side. Among others, they were missing Mbark Boussoufa, the suspended playmaker.
"We are disappointed, of course," Ten Cate said. "I thought we would take three points, but we didn't. We had too many players not really in the game. That is why we didn't win – it is very frustrating.

"On the other hand, given the circumstances with players available, I think it is a good result. We cannot continuously work miracles. People on television say I constantly change as I want to leave the club. This is not true.
"I have to work with the material I have available. And this is what I had available. We do everything possible to win games and get the best team on the field. Unfortunately, due to different circumstances, and I don't want to mention them again, we cannot always win.
"I am really, really angry about this [criticism from pundits]. I gave this club two-and-a-half years of my life."
Played in front of a sparse crowd at the Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium, the match was far from vintage. Still, Tractor could have gone ahead either side of half time. In fact, they should have before the break, but Ehsan Pahlavan dragged wide his shot when through on goal in stoppage time.
Not long into the second half, he found himself one-on-one once more with Ali Khaseif, yet fired straight at the onrushing Jazira goalkeeper. On the hour, midfielder Danial Esmaeilifar poked past Khaseif, and the hosts' post too.
At the other end, Romarinho could not find a way beyond Tractor goalkeeper Jordi Almeida – the angle was tight – while Ahmed Al Attas sent a rasping shot inches over the crossbar.
Moments later, Khaseif repelled a similar drive from Arsalan Motahhari. In the 75th minute, Ali Mabkhout tested Almeida with a free-kick. In injury time, substitute Salem Aleedi curled an effort towards goal, only for Almeida to palm away.
Really, that was as good as it got. A goalless draw, coupled with the group's other result on the night, ensured there remains all to play for.

|Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT) has always displayed spectacular changes in its spatial distribution, but the underlying mechanism of such variations still remains obscure. This study focuses on this challenging issue by scrutinizing the intriguing Brazilian episode' during which a large quantity of ABFT (a temperate species) was caught during the 1960s in the equatorial Atlantic. To investigate this event, we applied a niche model to an extensive data set of catch and environmental variables from 1960 to 2009. ABFT exhibited a remarkably large ecological niche, which matches well with our current knowledge of ABFT. Our results also depicted a high probability of ABFT occurrence in the South Atlantic and, more interestingly, favorable environmental conditions in the western equatorial Atlantic during the 1960s, but not later. ABFT could thus have migrated from their northern spawning grounds to the South Atlantic during the 1960s through the western equatorial Atlantic, playing the role of an ecological bridge'. We argue that the rarity of ABFT in the southern Atlantic during the last four decades would result from the interaction of several processes, particularly oceanographic conditions, migratory behavior, density-dependence, exploitation levels and population structure. Examination of the catch data further indicated that the fish caught in the equatorial Atlantic were from the western stock and we concluded that the lack of rebuilding of this stock could result from a regime shift due to the combination of oceanographic changes in the equatorial Atlantic and overfishing in the North Atlantic in the 1960s and 1970s.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, MI – Let's give the Shelby Township Police some help and ID a posey pinching pineapple thief.
Last month video surveillance at Vince & Joe's Market caught the guy pilfering flowers and pineapples. Evidently the first pineapple looked so good, he went back and took a second one.
Not only that but it appears that he was getting direction from gangsta grandma in the back seat of the Mercedes that he was putting the loot in. Guess you can afford to bounce in a Mercedes when your not paying for other things in life.
He needs a real taste of life. Let him have a meal or two that includes a bologna sandwich and tasteless canned peaches in his very own jail cell while he awaits arraignment. And if he is any good at artwork, he can draw flowers on the walls of that jail cell while he cools his heels for a minute.
Be a hero and put a name to this guy and greedy grandma in the back seat. The car is described as a Mercedes E 350 2012-2014.
If you know who he is, please call Det. Johnson at 586-731-2121 ext. 348.

A small home workshop may generate a broad variety of simple projects that can allow you to develop your creative and building abilities while rewarding you with artistic and practical wood products which you can appreciate and also give away to friends and family.

This may be a reserved place in your garage or on your cellar. In some cases, a detached shed or outbuilding might be perfect to set up your very first store.

Space is always a challenge for the woodworker. Regardless of where you are in your evolution, everybody from beginner to expert all wishes they add more space to function in. Free Woodworking Plans For Gifts if you're able to have a dedicated spot for a marathon all the greater. Floor gear and bench top gear can remain in position from project to project. If this setup isn't hopeless, at least try to create a bench area where equipment could be stored and pulled out as needed. If at all possible plan for inevitable expansion as you get more tools and gear. At the start, set up a seat area where you can store and use most of your equipment, with a temporary expansion of your actions onto the garage or basement floor.
A basic workbench could be constructed from cheap spruce lumber ideally at least 48 to 54 inches wide and 32 inches deep. |} The seat needs to be around waist height. Insert a sturdy shelf below the bench to house your hand power tools along with a pegboard above the bench to hang additional gear. Install a woodworking vice at one end of the bench on front to maintain small workpieces.
ACQUIRING YOUR EQUIPMENT, Free Woodworking Plans For Gifts
The reach of your startup equipment will be mostly based on your financial plan. Whether you've got big financial resources or you're starting on a shoestring always purchase quality gear. If you can afford it, buy your quality tools in the local building and hardware centre. If your budget is tight purchase quality used tools from the others through Kijiji or other regional ads. There are plenty of quality lightly used tools out there which belong to people who embarked on that one molding job around the home or obtained tools as presents which they won't ever use. You can usually purchase tools for these sellers for less than half of the initial cost and save even more money if you create a bundle deal for all their unused equipment. Obviously, acquiring tools from private individuals will take extra time and possibly travel expenditures. Weigh out the benefits of traveling across town to save a couple extra bucks on a inexpensive piece of gear. The excess expense of travel and time in these situations is generally justified when purchasing large ticket items like table saws, bandsaws or high ended tools such as surface planers in the future.
For smaller acquisitions, a visit to your construction center may be the ideal approach.
In earlier times skilled workers worked using a minimal quantity of hand gear yet produced sophisticated and intricate bits. Focus on developing your abilities with your start-up set of resources and prevent lamenting about the gear you wished you had.
Here is a listing of the more useful tools you'll need to get started:
Safety Gear: Start as anticipated by eye protection. Get a decent pair of safety glasses that also offer some side protection to your eyes. Buy a quality acrylic collection that'll be scratch resistant. Progressive scratching of cheaper plastic pairs will gradually hamper your vision and influence security. Avoid wearing goggles in a workshop. Most impair vision and dust up fast. You can avoid wearing all of them together in the event that you find them uneasy.
The next bit of critical safety equipment you'll need entails ear protection. Ear protection can be overlooked by the novice woodworker however is almost as critical as eye protection. Woodworking can be noisy and long-term exposure to those noise levels may affect hearing and result in tinnitus and other hearing losses. I prefer a simple ball cap along with my ear muffs and eye protection. With this setup I'm shielding my eyes and my ears. I am keeping the dust out of my hair. I am good to go!
Power Hand Saw: Often referred to as a skill saw following the favorite name, this may prove to be the most versatile instrument in a startup workshop. In fact, in the hands of a professional, a power hand saw can be used to build an entire house. As mentioned before get an excellent manufacturer saw. Avoid cheap unknown brands. All these tend to cut inaccurately and will burn out before you start your second job. After selecting the right saw install an excellent blade. Most saws come with a starter blade of lower quality even if they're a fantastic saw. Keep this blade for a backup and install an excellent blade with carbide teeth. Begin with a hybrid blade. These possess a balanced enamel count which works nicely with both crosscuts and ripping.
Power Jig Saw: A jigsaw will include great versatility to a woodworking. |} Curved cutting is where the jigsaw excels. This versatile tool cannot just cut corners. It is ideal for cutting holes in timber also like manage slots. At some point, you'll want to get a ring saw. Bandsaws are even more versatile but a excellent floor unit could be expensive. A jigsaw may be a fantastic stop gap to the novice woodworker.
Buy an assortment of blades to your jigsaw that includes various lengths and teeth per inch.
Battery Powered Drill: buy an excellent drill which runs on at 12 volts, however, 18 volts is better. |} Get one with a keyless chuck and if it's in your budget consider a 1/2 inch chuck within the standard 3/8 inch model. Down the road, the 1/2 inch version will prove to be more versatile. Through tough lessons learned, I have found that purchasing quality, in this scenario, is much more crucial than ever. Cheaper drills tend to get very short run times and have to be recharged frequently. Their battery life will be poor and to make things worse keyless chucks come loose and slide often. This is 1 annoyance you do not want on your workshop. Buy an range of superior carbide tipped drill bits that are kept in a holder tagging each drill bit size. Make a habit of returning each drill piece to its prospective slot in the holder after each use. Last, get a set of tough steel driver bits. Your drill can also be a versatile screwdriver, especially if you picked an 18-volt model.
Hammer: The hammer remains as the most versatile tool in the store, and frequently the most misunderstood one. |} Incidentally, the hammer is the 1 instrument where most workshop accidents occur. Even though the most ordinary, hammer injuries are usually of a minor character, varying from bruised palms into the temporary loss of a fingernail. Hammers significantly vary in quality and price. So what is the difference between a cheap hammer and a costly hammer? Quality hammers are just machined with a fantastic solid joint between the handle and mind. The good hammer is balanced, doesn't rust and features a comfortable grip. Many hammers in the high-quality range provide metal or fiberglass handles. Cheaper hammers generally have wood grips with poor joints between the head and handle. The mind typically comes loose and the instrument becomes useless. Select a name brand quality hammer at the 16-ounce scope for general work and a smaller completing hammer for more complex work. Avoid using large framing hammers at the workshop and any with dimpled head tips. These types of hammers are more appropriate to rough framing tasks and therefore are unsuitable from the workshop.
Palm Sander: Purchase a 1/4 sheet palm sander. This tiny power tool can manage just about any sanding requirements you have as a beginner woodworker. As your woodworking abilities evolve, you'll likely update to a floor version disk and belt sander. But for now, the ever-versatile palm sander may clean up edges, cross cuts and even limited quantities of surface area. As you embark on the first few projects you might find that your palm sander using just a little bit of effort can transform rough looking creations into virtual works of art! You can use your palm sander to sand and shape rough boards using 100 grit paper and later finish your job with 200 or even 300 grit paper. Buy an range of sandpaper sheets using an excess supply of 100 grit paper. You'll find that this grade of paper that the most versatile on your store.
Hand Planes and Chisels: These traditional tools are essential in each workshop. |} Though low tech in concept, these tools allow you to taper edges, sew high stains and correct any imperfections in wood pieces. {Begin with a typical amount 4 plane and an range of quality chisels varying in width from 1/4 inch to 1 inch.
Clamps: Sooner or later you'll want pliers for glue-ups and simply to hold down your wood pieces as you operate on them. Unfortunately, good clamps are expensive and it normally takes the beginner woodworker a few years to accumulate a comprehensive set of wood clamps. Start with a pair of extended"pipe" clamps. Now the pipe has been replaced with extended steel shafts, but the structure remains the same. Get a pair of the maximum clamps that you could spend. You may contact them for smaller adhesive jobs and expand them to their entire length for bigger projects.
Shop Vice: A shop vice installed in the end of the seat is ideal for holding smaller tasks for sanding, filing, and hole cutting with your jigsaw. Purchase a woodworking vice with replaceable wooden clamping surfaces and prevent metal working vices with steel jaws. Woodworking vices using their wood clamping surfaces can securely hold wood bits without marring or damaging them. Many of the greater vices offer quick release mechanisms that enabled the user to quickly open and close the jaws with no tedious handle rotation. The wood clamping surfaces on your vice will occasionally require replacement. I prefer to utilize soft pine in my vices which will not crush or damage lots of the different forests that I work with. Whether I am working in walnut or hard walnut, softwood clamping surfaces function the best.
Tape Measure and Marking Device: In your workshop, the ever-humble tape step is going to be one of your most often used tools. Purchase a good excellent name brand tape measure with a broad tape usually in the 25-foot selection. Although in your store you might not use the tape at these lengths, the larger tape steps offer more rigid tapes which will not flop around and slip off the ending of planks. Measuring when you're on your own will be a lot easier, and naturally, quality tape measures can last for many years.
When marking jobs, I prefer a sharp good old-fashioned HB pencil. An HB pen will produce a nice mark without scratching the timber. Avoid oversized carpenter's pencils. Their large flat leads are just too coarse for accurate measurement in the workshop.
Other Tool and Materials: Here are a couple other useful tools to round out your starter workshop: Purchase a T-square, set square and rate square. These inexpensive tools can assist you in marking the right angles in addition to chemical angles. Additionally, get an range of flat, Robertson and Philips screwdrivers. Get the number two and three Robertson set. I find the Robertson format works best for most woodworking projects and will be the most compatible with a drill powered bits. Last, get a pair of 12-inch wood documents. The expense of adhesive through all of your jobs is a little cost consideration. Therefore, it is sensible to decide on the very best. I also have found over the years that I get the best results with both indoor and outdoor projects when I use quality outdoor grade adhesive. These resin-based compounds unlike conventional water-based wood glue, won't break down and neglect with moisture.
CONCLUSION, Free Woodworking Plans For Gifts
The peaceful gratification of woodworking is an excellent experience in this day and age of rushed lives, smart phones, and time-starved careers. With a minimum investment in the most rudimentary equipment and tools, anyone can learn the profitable skills of his time-tested avocation and enjoy project after project!

Sustainability challenges to be discussed at Decorative Surfaces Conference
MIAMI -- All economic activities that occur in the natural world require resources such as energy, materials and land, while generating waste and polluting emissions as unwanted byproduct. Today the demand for natural resources and the production of pollution exceed the regenerative capacity of the Earth and put us face to face with one of the biggest challenges of our time: moving towards a sustainable economy. But what does sustainability mean? Despite its simplicity, sustainability is a concept people have a hard time wrapping their minds around: Is it all about recycling? Are "green" or "natural" synonyms for "sustainable"? And last but not least: how can sustainability be addressed in the laminates industry? Does durability play a role there? Let's dig into those questions and debunk some myths. Dr. Alessandra Fusi, Sustainability specialist with Trespa and Arpa will address all of these questons in her presentation, "Facing the Sustainability Challenge: What Cards Can Our Industry Play?"
The Decorative Surfaces Conference is produced by TCM North America.
See the FULL PROGRAM HERE.
The meeting will be held at the beautiful Miami Biltmore Hotel for two days of presentations from the global leaders in design and surfacing technology. Ample time for networking, and even a little golf, make this the industry's top event for users of decorative surfaces. Don't miss it!

Learn about American Woodmark's foray into RFID
ATLANTA, GA -- According to Henry Nisiobincki, the idea that each item is unique in woodworking holds true more than in any other industry. Nisiobincki, RFID Program Manager at American Woodwork Corporation, faced this challenge as he guided the company to benefit from RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology.
"The questions we asked were, how could we identify the unique history of each unique part? And how can we use that information to help measure quality, control process flows, and improve inventory accuracy?"
Nisiobincki said that by using integrated RFID technology to create a unique identity for each piece, American Woodmark Corporation has seen continuous benefit and value. He will show how a simple low-cost addition to each piece can be the solution for endless cost-savings, as well as the platform for future innovation.

Gravitational waves, black holes, and astronomy without light
On 25 September 2015 scientists at the LIGO experiment detected something that no human had ever seen before: a gravitational wave. This wave was emitted by two black holes that lived and died more than a billion years ago. Each of the black holes was around thirty times as massive as our own sun, and when they merged they gave out so much energy that they temporarily outshone every star in the observable Universe put together.

Informal Caucuses within the WTO: Singapore in the "Invisibles Group"
Desker, Barry
Date of Issue2009
S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies
This essay examines the role of small informal groups in multilateral negotiations by focusing on a case study of the discussions at meetings of the Invisibles Group in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) from 1995 to 1999. This grouping brought together senior capital-based negotiators from key constituencies in the WTO to discuss critical issues on the WTO agenda. The study highlights the role of such informal groups in creating a cross-cutting coalition in favour of the conclusion of multilateral agreements. Such informal groupings are particularly significant in the WTO as the convention has developed that "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed". As it is impossible to reach a consensus in a grouping of 153 members, the tendency has been to reach out to smaller groups to exchange views and narrow differences, which could provide the building blocks for consensus-based decisions. The essay concludes with the demise of the Invisibles Group in 1999 and explains the flawed reasoning which lay at the root of its eventual failure.

Weight loss due to lifestyle changes and bariatric surgery can significantly reduce the symptoms of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (BASG), a disease characterized by accumulation of fat in the liver, say scientists from the University of Bologna in Italy.
While the main cause of BASG remains unclear, the disease is most commonly seen among obese middle-aged patients. During the study, experts have found that a loss of 10% overweight and more will help reduce the risk of scarring in the liver in people with overweight and obesity. To a lesser extent, moderate weight loss (from 7% to 10%) reduces the severity of the disease in some groups of patients. In this case, patients with a slight weight loss (less than 5%) or without weight loss have undergone a significant deterioration of scarring in the liver. Another study also found that one year after the bariatric surgery, BASG disappeared at 85%. In this case, the disease disappeared in a larger proportion of patients with mild BASG before surgery (94%) than with severe (70%).
These two studies provide a benchmark for future pharmacological intervention in the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, the scientists say, warning that this disease can eventually lead to liver cirrhosis, in which the liver is permanently damaged and is no longer able to function properly. In the absence of the approved treatment available for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis at present, doctors recommend that patients with BASG reduce weight, maintain a balanced diet, exercise and avoid alcohol and unnecessary drugs.

Shady Oaks sets sights on fundraiser to celebrate golden anniversary
Occasionally, residents of Shady Oaks celebrate milestone anniversaries and birthdays.
This fall, it's Shady Oaks itself that's having an anniversary – a golden one, to be exact. The senior care facility will celebrate 50 years of service in the community in September. In preparation, Shady Oaks is hosting a fundraiser Aug. 23, Public Relations Coordinator Brittany Drew said.
The event, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 23 at Shady Oaks, will include $3 burgers from the Beef Producers, freewill donation chips and bottled water and a silent auction. Some items available in the auction include restaurant and photo gift certificates, handmade gifts and other goods and services donated by area businesses, such as a wine basket and a gym membership.
All proceeds from the event will be used to pay for food and decorations for the Sept. 23 anniversary celebration, Drew said.
Vetter Health Services officials will attend the 50th anniversary celebration, Drew said.

Farmington's Whitetail Woods cabins are architectural stunners
Kickin' it outdoors is in our DNA. Whether it's 80 degrees and sunny or there's a windchill advisory, something about nature beckons us to come out and play.
One recent addition to the outdoor experience is now attracting national attention for beauty of another kind.
Since opening in 2014, a trio of rustically stylish cabins in Whitetail Woods Regional Park in Farmington have earned serious design props. This month the Dakota County cabins snagged an American Institute of Architects award for excessive awesomeness in the "specialized housing" category.
Designed by Minneapolis' HGA Architects and Engineers, the cabins are billed as treehouses reimagined, sitting on a hillside atop 14-foot stilts for views between the trees.
Two years ago Whitetail Woods became the first new Dakota County park in 30 years, and the 227-square-foot cottages have quickly become its signature feature.
"They've been really popular," says spokesperson Mary Beth Schubert. "Our guests tell us they really enjoy the accommodations and the setting."
Popular might be an understatement. At a going rate of about $70 a night, the next available weekend isn't until December.
Tucked among 5,000 acres of protected land, the tiny cedar cabins seem tailored for not-quite-roughing-it retreats. While each is rigged with electricity (and more important, heat), bathrooms and showers are in a separate building about 30 feet away.
With a pair of bunks and two day beds, the cabins comfortably sleep four, though there's room for two more sleeping-bags. You're on the hook for your own bedding, however.

One makes me bigger and One makes me strong
By Casey
Does this ever happen to you, a banal moment, a faint hum, then words and harmony, the sound fills the space and the moment becomes an event, enlivened with a reverberating song, and then, faster than it started, the sound track ends and I hear the dishwasher, kids' utensils clinking against their bowls, the humid air, and my husband's voice asking where the paper towels are?
Jefferson Airplane has been playing in my head every morning all week, while I stand at the kitchen sink looking at the two necklaces. The necklaces are usually in my jewelry box, but I've realized it's easier to just keep them on the ledge above the kitchen sink.
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
One necklace is gold, from a trip through Egypt, a cartouche with hieroglyphics that say Beatrice (amusing and absurd), on a heavy gold rope chain. It belonged to my grandmother - a matriarch, a powerhouse, a feminist, and a true believer in me. The other is a Victorian piece, cut crystal and silver, translucent and delicate, found by my cousin an antique watch dealer in London. It was given to my mother - an adventurer, caregiver, mystic, truth seeker, and a true believer in me. She gave the necklace to me last year.
One necklace makes me bigger and one makes me strong. They were both given to me by strong mothers. As I put it on and clasp it around my neck, I think about the associations with these powerful women. Today I am strong.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
