RoboJack Slot Machine
The experience that RoboJack will give you is a bit more futuristic, with its focus on robotics and future looking technology. There are a total of 5 reels in this Microgaming slot, but the paylines go all the way up to 243 thanks to the ways to win system.
The wagers aren't exactly suited to low rollers, asking up to $300 from the player, but they do offer in exchange prizes of up to $30,000.
How to Play
In typical Microgaming fashion, you will find that the betting system can be very easy to use, though at the same time it will give you some extra options that you might want to take advantage of. Bets will start at just $0.30 if you decide to use $0.01 coins, but you get the option to increase that denomination to $1 and to use up to 10 of them per line.
The game requires that you always use a multiple of 30 coins (30 to 300), in order to cover all the paylines (243 ways to win). The betting area normally gives you just the option to increase and decrease the total bet amount, by changing the number of coins. If you also want the option to change the denomination, click on the Bet title and you will find that option in the pop-up menu that opens up.
The other options you get in the betting area include the paytable link, the number of credits, the amount you won, the Spin button and Auto Play. If you decide you just want a shot at the money, without actually playing the game, AutoPlay will offer you that option. You can choose up to 100 rounds during which the slot plays on its own, at the last wager size you used. You can also leave it to run indefinitely or you can decide on a custom number of rounds.
How Much Can Be Won
A jackpot worth $30,000 is offered in RoboJack, but the maximum bet of $300 has to be used in order to get it. It's not the only payout that's worth going after in this game though. The second prize available is at $25,000, followed by payouts worth $12,500, $10,000, 7,500 and $5,000. The majority of the payouts inside are on the high side.
Bonus Features
There is an interesting mix of features that Microgaming added into this slot. Most of them are packed into the scatter symbol, giving the player multiple options to choose from and different advantages with each one.
Scatter Symbol
The scatter's role is a very important one in this case. Getting multiple scatter symbols on the screen will mean not only payouts for the player, but also some interesting free spins bonuses that we're going to talk more about below. The prizes start at $300 when two scatters appear and grow up to $30,000 for five scatters (maximum wager payouts).
The rounds of free spins require a minimum of three scatter symbols in place. When that happens, the player gets a screen with five robots, that will help him during the free games. The robot is randomly chosen, though the player does have the option to ask for another random choice. Read below what the five robots can do for you.
Orange Robot – free spins and extra wilds, with up to 60 spins offered initially and up to 50 retriggered.
Purple Robot – you can win 12 to 40 spins with it, with the possibility to retrigger just as many. These spins come with extra scatter payouts, that give the player a random multiplier of up to 10x the bet value.
Light Green Robot – it will give the player anywhere between 4 and 20 spins for free, plus a random reel will become wild during each of those spins.
Pink Robot – depending on the number of triggering scatters and your luck, you can get 10 to 65 spins, the possibility to retrigger up to 50 of them. Even better, you can retrigger an extra 8 spins with just two scatters, instead of the minimum of three that others have.
Dark Green Robot – offering 10 to 50 spins that will not cost you anything, this robot also gives you a 3x multiplier that gives you triple the normal payouts.
Wild Feature
The wild symbol is a fairly normal one, represented by the logo of the game and being able to act as a substitute for all the symbols, with the exception of the scatter. The same wild has payouts to offer, up to $25,000 given to players with up to five wilds on a payline.
Final Thoughts
The futuristic experience you're going to get here is a lot of fun, but the slot doesn't stop at the graphics and also includes a lot of features into its symbols. The scatter symbol is especially attractive.

One thing I miss in our current condo is having a garden. I even miss the fall clean-up. I remember trying to untangle the climbing bean stalks from the poles and trellis I had set up for their growth. The beans stalks grew round and round the poles and each other, then onto anything nearby including the tomatoes. The plants had kept us in fresh green beans almost until first frost. They grew so dramatically high that if I had been able to install a two or three story lattice work they would have climbed to the top. As it was, I had to use a step ladder to pick the topmost.
And all this growth from a few little bean seeds. How did those seeds know to climb when my bush beans didn't? How did they know they weren't soy beans? How could they climb so high? My climbing beans reminded me of the magic beans described in the story of Jack and the beanstalk. I can see why the imagination of the writer went wild.
The information packed into the DNA of those seeds is incredible. How does God do these kind of things? A bean stalk ten or twenty feet long. An apple tree from an apple seed. And what about a giant sequoia? Moving from plants we could ask the same questions about a whale or a butterfly. As Werner Gitt points out in his book, In the beginning was information, there is no known natural law or process or phenomenon through which matter can give rise to information. And without encoded information there can be no life.
I've been writing about a bean seed, but what about the information stored in human DNA? We are told that every kind of life and every organ of every living thing uses specific proteins. In our bodies there are about 50,000 different proteins. Wow! The result of billions of years of chemical accidents? A product of evolution? Sorry, I'm just not that credulous. I'd rather go with David and praise our Creator God because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:14) Do we know that? Do we know Him?

We all want to eat healthy foods with fewer chemicals and more nutrition. To get that sort of healthy food, it needs to come from a healthy place (which is why Crucial Four is so careful about where we source our ingredients).
One of the best things about growing healthy food in a healthy way is that it's also great for the environment. Conventional farming and grazing are one of many contributors to global climate change. But regenerative farming practices are proving that changing how we grow our food may be one the most important keys to saving our planet.
Carbon: Friend and Foe
Greenhouse gases (mostly carbon dioxide) are pouring into our atmosphere. And we know we need to cut back on net emissions if we want to prevent global warming. But attacking the source of carbon emissions isn't easy. There are just too many of them and they're too important in the industrial and transportation sectors.
But while carbon isn't so good for our atmosphere, it's something that we do want in our soil. When everything is working as it should be, plants take in carbon dioxide through their leaves. They then use part of it and put the rest into the soil, where microorganisms turn it into nutrients the plants can use. The microorganisms are key to this process.
Soil's Incredible Potential
Modern farming practices, such as tilling, release carbon from the soil. On top of that, the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides have destroyed many microorganisms found in healthy soil. In short, much of earth's soil is depleted of nutrients and can't absorb carbon from the atmosphere anymore.
But that's not the end of the story. Soil can be healed through regenerative agriculture practices. And if that were to happen, the Rodale Institute reports that recent data from worldwide farming systems and pasture trials shows earth's soil could absorb more than 100% of current annual carbon emissions through a process called carbon sequestration. And that would be a huge step forward in solving the problem of climate change.
How Regenerative Agriculture Works
The basic principle behind regenerative agriculture is that it improves the resources it uses instead of depleting them. It goes beyond organic or sustainable agriculture by not only avoiding harm to the environment but trying to improve it.
Regenerative agriculture is a holistic approach to farming that includes several different farming practices. These include planting fewer annuals and more perennials, using cover crops, minimal soil tilling, rotating crops, and composting. Such practices are designed to encourage microorganism diversity, add nutrients to the soil, and improve soil texture. And when the soil is healthy, that also means the crops grown in it will be healthier as well.

Rail Veterans Form Bakken Mobile Repair Service
When railcars are sent to full service repair shops, time out of service can average 90 days, according to Freedom Railcar Solutions LLC, a new railcar repair and service provider formed by rail industry veterans. Because most third-party repair shops are located out-of-state and do not provide mobile services, Freedom Railcar Solutions is looking to serve the Bakken. The company will provide a mobile repair unit for railcars in North Dakota and Wyoming, starting July 1. The services included in the mobile repair units will include the repair and replacement of vacuum relief valves, manway lids and eyebolts, load valves, bottom outlet valve handles, brake parts, stencils, AEI tags and safety appliances.
The company's leadership is well-versed in the rail industry. Kevin Goins, president, has 20 years in the rail and transload industry, including extensive work in rail repair. As the president of Strobel Starostka Transfer, a national transload facility operator that has a large presence in the Bakken, Goins also brings an extensive understanding of the Bakken to the railcar repair business. Goins will be joined by Don Walsh, vice president of business development. Walsh helped add mobile repair services to Transco Railway Products Inc. in Iowa and Montana operations.
"We formed Freedom Railcar to address the increasing demand for dependable, high-quality railcar services in the Bakken and other rapidly emerging crude-by-rail markets. We are a next-generation company," Goins said. "We expect to expand our area of operations and offer additional services."

Mushrooms . . . or zombie fingers?
Last Saturday I was walking into downtown Gering with my head down, held at a "just so" angle to keep my cowboy hat from blowing off
(I was headed to help with a Gering Merchants Nebraska-Wyoming tailgate party/fundraiser to replace the Christmas lights on the downtown buildings. I was wearing a Blackshirts shirt and the cowboy hat for balance. It was a fun event, but I can't really blog about it because I was too busy helping to take pictures and check things out.)
As I was walking with this head-down posture, I noticed things on the ground.
Ants. Cigarette butts. Zombie fingers.
Zombie fingers?!??
I snapped to a halt and did a double-take at the landscaping mulch to my left.
Then I laughed and took a picture.
Aside from this spring when we got frequent rains, mushrooms aren't very common in this dry high plains climate. This particular bit of landscaping must have been well watered, because there they were . . . mushrooms . . . poking out of the ground like fingers of the undead clawing out from the grave.
I have a rather active imagination. Halloween is coming up. Thus, the "zombie fingers" thought bubble you could have inserted over my head that day.
Come on . . . you can't tell me that photo doesn't look a little like zombie fingers . . .

text: Scattered and hanging, above all else. With little to see below and very little to watch above, the only place to fathom justice is the airy beacon of uncertain serenity. Looks like a playground, minutes later looks like a famished desert. Then, looks like an island in the Middle East and divulges in to a 'Gravity' like poster frame before coming a cropper with the looks of a barren plateau. The perils notwithstanding, if I was a vagabond with wings, I would fly.

I love working with clay because it gives me the opportunity to express myself as a craftsman through form and as a painter through design and color. When I am working I feel joy as I connect to my creativity, nature and God. I want my work to carry an inner fire, to connect the user with pleasure. I am always conscious of adding some element of sensuality to my functional work, it may be the curve in a cup, a flower petal, or a silky finish. I am inspired by art of the 19th century, fashion, and nature. My goals include creating community sculpture and mosaics, kinetic art and having my work in museums.
My gift as a teacher is encouragement and I use that to help my students connect to their work, problem solve, and stimulate growth and vision. My hope is to give them the skills to continue on a creative journey and help them recognize their uniqueness.

There isn't a better time than now!You undoubtedly have numerous questions about how to begin and when to do what, but have no fear, the tips here can help. The ideas and tips provided in this article will get you find success in your gardening aspirations.
Select plants that produce a higher profits and yield.
Transfer your favorite plants indoors to rescue them from the winter. You may want to save your most beautiful or expensive plants. Carefully dig near the rootball and replant in an appropriate pot.
Pick the proper soil to get the best outcome. You can also create an artificial area that contains one variety of dirt.
Be diligent in your garden.Weeds can take over a thriving garden into a total wasteland. White vinegar is a good solution. White vinegar can kill those pesky weeds. If you don't want to take the time to remove the weeds by hand, make a white vinegar solution and keep it handy for a quick spray when needed.
Fertilizing your garden soil. Manure is very effective in helping plants grow, but it is important that you choose a manure that has been composted commercially so that there is less of a risk of pathogens.
Purchase an inexpensive gardening kneeling pad, and a kneeling stool to use in your garden.Spending a lot of time near the ground working is very hard on the knees, that is why it is important to have a portable and lightweight garden stool that you can use for comfort. Gardening involves moving heavy objects and dirt, so purchasing a wheelbarrow can be a very smart investment.
Plant with fall color. Maple, Beech and Dogwood trees are available in a number of fall colors, and dogwood display colors ranging from dark crimson to light yellow. When selecting shrubs that will be colorful during the fall, try hydrangea, hydrangea, or cotoneaster.
The ideal temperature to set your thermostat for indoor plants should be kept between sixty-five and seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit during the day. The temperature needs to be this warm so the plants can grow. If there are times during the year when you would prefer not to have the temperature that high, consider purchasing a heat lamp to use on the plants.
After your seeds begin to sprout, the containers do not need to stay as warm as they once did. Keep a close watch on your seeds to know when you should do this.
This will also gives your flower beds a more aesthetic aspect.
Do you want to know how to kill weeds without the use of harmful chemicals? Take newspapers and use them for weed control. Weeds cannot grow without sunlight. The layers of newspaper will block sunlight and weeds won't be able to grow. Newspapers break down into compost nicely. You can cover the newspapers with mulch to make them look more attractive.
One of the most wonderful things about buying food that sets organic gardening apart from conventional gardening is that they don't contain pesticides. This is great for your health, but you ought to double check for pests.
By changing up varieties and locations, you will be able to keep disease and fungus at bay.
Organic gardening has been made easy with just a few simple techniques. Plan your landscaping with primarily native grasses, flowers, and grasses. If you chose plants that will thrive well in your environment, you won't need special pesticides or fertilizers. Native plants will thrive if you encourage growth with organically made from native materials such as grass clippings and leaves.
When getting ready to plant a tree or a shrub in your organic garden, make the hole super ugly-looking. If the sides of the hole you dug is packed hard by the shovel, it's possible that one of those holes will restrict any root from getting into the soil nearby.
Even though the insects remain there, you can avoid the damage they cause, keeping everyone happy.
You have likely heard about the positive benefits of a compost bin for your organic garden, but are you aware of what goes into compost? Compost includes natural ingredients and by-products, such as grass clippings, twigs, plant materials and even leftover veggies from the dinner table. You want to use this type of a commercial fertilizer and save money.
You should build a tent in your garden during winter. Then, throw sheets on top of them, and use some bricks to keep the edges held down.This is an inexpensive way to cover your crops in the winter months.
When setting up a garden, consider what kinds you tend to use most often in the kitchen. This will make your grocery bills and help you use your horticulture space. Don't bother wasting time on growing foods that your family doesn't enjoy.
Water plants with some rainwater to be a 'green' gardener. Using a special rain barrel or other workable container to capture rainwater can save money on monthly water bills, but you are using a natural resource as well.This is a great alternative to spending your money and makes your environment.
Chicken Tractor
Think about utilizing a chicken tractor for fertilizing the fertilizer in your garden.This tool is little more than a mobile chicken coop with a sheltered area. This lets the chickens graze on the vegetation any pests while they deposit fertilizer. When finished with one section, you simply move the chicken tractor on to the next patch.
A lot of trees, shrubs, oranges, and yellows. The plants stop creating chlorophyll during this time of year, and other pigments appear to replace the green color. Plants and trees that will produce great fall colors include maples, chestnut, maple, burning bush and maple.
You will now feel more confident in your ability to transform your garden into a thing of glory. Even if you thought you were all ready to go before, look at what you know now! Ideally, you will be able to start horticulture with much greater success after using these tips.

The M.T. Solviken, a crude oil tanker, was delivered from the shipyard in 2007. Since delivery, the Solviken has had 15 PSC inspections without a single Port State Control (PSC) observation recorded.
The vessel is managed by Wallem Europe. On completion of the latest PSC inspection which took place in Primorsk in Russia, the PSC Inspector made a point of highlighting this achievement to the vessel.
Archie Smiley, General Manager, Fleet Management for Wallem Europe says: "Congrats to Captain Kumar and the crew of the Solviken; as well the shore team in Hamburg on this fantastic achievement. This is something we strive to obtain across the entire managed fleet, in PSC, SIRE and indeed any other inspection."
On November 14th, DNVGL's Senior Vice President, Regional Manager North Europe Region Jon Rysst presented a diploma to the ship owner (Viken Shipping)'s Technical Director Vidar Winciansen at a small ceremony at Viken's office in Oslo. The diploma was then presented to the Captain and crew onboard the ship and the owner's gratitude on this achievement was expressed.
Vidar Winciansen, Technical Director for Viken Shipping says: "The Solviken is one of only 4 of DNV GL's more than 12,000 vessels that have ever achieved this honour. I would like to express our gratitude and congratulations to the Captain and crew of the Solviken on this milestone."

10 more allowed to write PT after BPSC withdraws appeal
State public service commission withdraws petition challenging HC order, conditionally allowing 35 candidates who were not issued admit cards for BPSC (prelims) exam on February 12.india Updated: Feb 10, 2017 21:12 IST
The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) on Friday withdrew its appeal challenging a Patna high court single bench order, conditionally allowing 35 candidates who have not been issued admit cards, to appear in the preliminary test (PT).
The BPSC had earlier moved the division bench of acting chief justice Hemant Gupta and justice Sudhir Singh against the order passed on Thursday.
After the withdrawal of appeal, the single bench of justice Ravi Ranjan conditionally allowed 10 more aspirants to appear in the 60th to 62nd combined BPSC (PT). Justice Ranjan passed the order on petitions filed by Mayank Kumar and nine others.
On Thursday, while allowing 35 candidates to take the PT, justice Ranjan put a rider, saying that the results would be published only if the candidates were found eligible after the commission had scrutinised their application forms.
The examination, being conducted by the BPSC to appoint 642 government officers, is scheduled for February 12.
Petitioners Nishant Kumar and 34 other aspirants claimed that they had filled up the forms and deposited the requisite fee online. "But it appears that the forms were not uploaded due to some error in the server or slow internet connectivity," they said. The BPSC had introduced online system for submission of application forms "on a large scale" for the first time without any trial, they claimed.
The BPSC had opposed the petitioners' claim, saying there was no error in the server. Admit cards were issued to 2.43 lakh aspirants who had successfully filled up the application forms online, the commission said, adding that the petitioners had skipped the final stage of uploading their applications.

What comes to mind when you think of healthy food and beverages?
There are a number of healthy food and drink options that you should add to your shopping cart. But they're not all fruits and vegetables.
Drinking green tea is one of the best decisions you can make for your body. It's one of the healthiest beverages on the market and it is filled with powerful antioxidants and nutrients.
There are a number of health benefits that go along with regularly drinking green tea. As a result, more people around the globe are filling their mugs with this beverage made from unoxidized leaves.
Here are a few benefits of drinking green tea. Read on to learn more.
What's in Green Tea?
Green tea is a beverage that originally hails from Asia. For some, this healthy beverage is still shrouded in mystery.
There are many different types of green tea available – from the Japanese gyokuro to the Chinese gunpowder tea.
They may have differences, but they are all very similar in their makeup and health benefits.
Green tea is made from the dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis bush. It contains polyphenols that serve as antioxidants.
The polyphenols can protect the body from harmful diseases. Antioxidants like Epigallocatechin Gallate and catechins can treat diseases and even protect the body from cell damage.
Despite its many health benefits, many people still avoid green tea. In fact, green tea only comprised 16 percent of the U.S. tea consumption in 2016.
Brain Function
Tea is already known for having myriad health benefits including lower blood pressure, illness prevention, and anxiety relief.
Green tea takes it a step further. One of the best side effects of drinking tea is that it increases brain function.
Green tea contains caffeine and L-theanine which have known benefits to brain function. Caffeine acts as a stimulant and can impact mood and memory. While green tea doesn't contain as much caffeine as coffee, it's overall a healthier option for increased energy.
L-theanine is an amino acid that increases dopamine levels in the brain. This sends signals to other cells and increases brain function. It can also decrease anxiety levels.
One of the best ways to prevent cancer is to stave it off with powerful antioxidants. Fortunately, green tea is chock-full of these antioxidants.
Polyphenols are believed to both prevent cancer cells from growing and to kill them off altogether. They can also prevent oxidative damage that can lead to cancer growth.
Green tea has been found to decrease the risk of everything from breast cancer to colorectal cancer. There is no perfect recipe to preventing cancer. However, drinking green tea may lower your chances of getting this harmful disease.
One byproduct of increased brain function is a lowered risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's is a commonly found disease that is also linked to dementia. Green tea's catechin can help to deter the onset of this disease.
The catechin in green tea can create a barrier for neurons, which are integral in brain function. Green tea can also stave off harmful proteins that can trigger neurogenerative diseases. As a result, this can lower the risk of Alzheimer's in older adults.
Basically, green tea consumption could be instrumental in keeping your brain functioning at high levels.
More Health Benefits
Green tea can help increase brain function, prevent cancer, and protect against Alzheimer's. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
There are numerous other health benefits related to drinking tea. Green tea has also been found to help with everything from stress to fatigue.
Put down the coffee, soda, and alcohol and opt for green tea instead. By doing so, you just may be on the right track to a healthy life.

How the Shutdown Has Affected Tariff Exemptions
You're a small manufacturer and one of your key inputs is aluminum. You face a huge tariff, thanks to current US policy. You likely meet the conditions for an exemption and have even planned accordingly. Then, after all that time and money you spent navigating the tariff exemption request process, you get hung out to dry by government shutdown.
Many people report that the shutdown has not much affected their lives. Those whose businesses depend on the discretion of a government regulatory agency have not been so fortunate. In some cases, the costs of the shutdown have been financially devastating.
Ordinarily exemption requests are made to the Commerce Department or US Trade Representative [4]'s (USTR) Office. They should be approved provided (according to Trump-imposed legal protocol) that the item or a substitute for it are unavailable domestically, and there are no overriding "national security concerns". But there are many speed bumps. The President's determination to shut exemptions down while demanding money to build a great wall rivaling that of China's is now one of them.
You were organized, and requested a tariff exemption from the USTR, which has miraculously remained open despite the government shutdown. It continues to review filed tariff exemption requests until it runs out of funding and commences orderly shutdown on January 14th. But there's a problem: any information exchanges or approvals reliant on inter-agency cooperation have been delayed. Including the second phase approval you need, and which is overseen by the inactive Commerce Department.
On December 28 USTR granted nearly 1,000 universal product exclusion requests from the first round of Section 301 tariffs. However, these exclusions will not go into effect until 10 days after the government reopens because tariff changes need to be made within an automated system controlled by Customs and Border Protection, which shutdown a week earlier on December 21. While businesses will retroactively be able to claim back the 25% extra they paid for goods on the first round list, not all companies are quite so fortunate in the government's new game picking winners and losers.
The Cost Advantage
Tariff-exempted businesses have a price advantage over competitors still awaiting verdicts on their requests and remain on a level playing field with imported products. The misfortune of being 100th in line instead of 99th in the queue means that companies whose requests are still being processed (and which otherwise may have been approved by now had the government not shut down) continue to pay higher prices. Because most exemption requests are not applied retroactively they also will not receive any refunds or compensation for the tariffs they pay during shutdown.
Ironically, the comparatively higher prices of domestically-produced goods are making competing foreign products more attractive to consumers - the exact opposite of what the tariffs are intended to do. When companies pay higher prices on key inputs, they have two options: divert funds from areas such as R&D, or pass costs on to consumers in the form of raised prices.
The 10% tariff local breweries are forced to pay for aluminum cans equates to an additional $347 million tax on the U.S. beer industry. Locally-made beers (and soft drinks such as Coca Cola [5]) often have no choice but to increase prices for consumers while imported goods avoid higher production costs.
Consumers are not automatons who are willing to pay any increase in price or consume in the same quantity. Higher prices make the same product less competitive, all else equal, and, in this case, substitutes are readily available.
Is Protectionism a Pro-American Policy?
History [6] has shown that tariffs adversely impact employment and economic growth, yet they continue to be touted as the solution to create more jobs and prosperity for Americans. Yet our current Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, claimed that the cost to consumers is 'no big deal' holding up a can of Campbell's soup to prove his point.
Perhaps it is no big deal on an executive's salary, but for the rest of us it makes a difference. When there is not enough domestic supply, prices get bid up along every step of the production, storage and transport process. That soup you paid 1 cent extra for on day one of tariffs ends up being 10 cents extra by the end of the month. And that adds up over a year. For every item in your grocery cart.
Essential and Non-Essential Services
You want to have a barbeque. You go down to your local butcher to buy some meat. The butcher accepts your order, but tells you that the man who usually delivers the meat is away on holiday. You will receive your order when he returns to work. You have already paid.
Similar to the butcher's taking payment and orders but unable to provide the goods, some government departments would like to provide the goods, but their dependence on 'non-essential' departments in their supply chain means they cannot provide them. Much like the butcher waiting for the delivery-man, any information exchanges or approvals reliant on inter-agency cooperation are delayed. And businesses continue to pay tariffs for goods from which they might otherwise be gain an exemption.
The government shut-down, now the longest on record, should serve as a reminder of the dangers of all government regulation, especially when the regulators block the freedom to trade, promise to make exceptions, and then fail to perform at all. Right now, for some industries, the failure of process exemptions is wreaking havoc and draining wealth from consumers.

My French Debut
The day after I posted this video, a French journalist working for France Info (kind of like the French version of NPR) requested an interview for an article she was writing about the planned repeal of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). I gratefully accepted the opportunity to share my story. The original article is in French so I've included a screenshot of the translation. You can read the article in its entirety here (with the use of a translator app).

Jeep Wrangler: Mopar Not Holding Anything Back!
The new Jeep Wrangler is not here yet but what we got to learn about at SEMA was the new list of Jeep Performance Parts that Mopar will be offering.
Mopar will be offering more than 200 Jeep Performance Parts this time around. Some of the new offerings offered this time includes the new roof rack and the stowable tailgate table. The new roof rack would allow buyers to fit on most standard carriers.
Other parts that we can expect include the new fuel doors, redesigned tire covers, 17inch Beadlock aluminum wheels, hard-secured grab handles and more. According to Mopar, the new range of performance part will be available at the dealership once the Wrangler goes on sale.
As for the new Wrangler itself. We will only be learning more about it when it makes its official debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this month.

On the surface, things look pretty good for the Northern Arizona University men's basketball team. The Lumberjacks look to be over-achieving in just the second year under their new head coach, Jack Murphy.
Picked to finish ninth in the Big Sky Conference coaches' pre-season poll, the Jacks are sitting in third place in the conference (8-6), tied with North Dakota for that honor. And they had back-to-back wins before a loss in their last game when they droped a road game Saturday to Eastern Washington.
But if you look a little closer, you see that Eastern Washington, a .500 team, won by 19 points.
And the two wins before that game came against the bottom two teams in the conference, Portland State and Southern Utah. They beat Southern Utah at home by seven points and squeezed out a two-point victory at Portland State.
That third place in the standings is also somewhat misleading. NAU actually has a .440 winning percentage overall, while the team it's tied with has a .458 percentage. In fact, there are just two teams in the 11-team Division I conference that have worse winning percentages.
And now Murphy and his Lumberjack squad are standing on the edge, looking down into a dark abyss as they contemplate the road ahead to season's end. They have six games left in the regular season and all except one, next week against Idaho State, are against teams in the top half of the conference standings – including No. 1 Weber State and No. 2 Northern Colorado.
NAU is about to embark on a 2 1/2 week journey that will define their success – or lack thereof – this season. If they can step up and make a statement, it will give Murphy some momentum going into his third season. And make the coaching staff's recruiting efforts that much easier as Murphy tries to resurrect a program that finished 5-24 for the 2011-12 season, ending with a 16-game losing skid, after his predecessor abruptly resigned shortly after the season began.
Murphy, who was hired away from the University of Memphis after three seasons as an assistant under Josh Pastner, enjoyed early recruiting success in Flagstaff and had put together an impressive group after being hired in April of 2012. Prior to that he spent eight years with the University of Arizona basketball program, learning his craft from one of the best head coaches in the game, Lute Olson. He also worked in various capacities in the NBA, for the Denver Nuggets.
But this gig is Murphy's first as a head coach. And last year's results didn't exactly get him out of the gate in any surprising fashion. His first squad finished 11-21 and sixth in the Big Sky. They were given an early exit from the conference tournament when Weber State handed them a humbling 84-58 loss in the quarterfinals.
This year, Murphy has had to blend six returning lettermen with nine newcomers, and it has been a slow process. The team won just two of its first 10 games of the season.
Junior guard Chris Heine from Horizon High School in Scottsdale is the only local player returning, but the 2013 recruiting class included three freshmen from within the state, all guards: Jaran Hoover, Prescott HS; Travis Meeker, Red Mountain HS in Mesa; and Christopher Miller, Greenway HS in west Phoenix.
Only four players who returned from last year's roster played more than 10 minutes a game last season.
But things need to come together in a hurry now, beginning with tomorrow's game against second-place Northern Colorado, an offensive juggernaut that leads the conference in scoring (77 ppg) and field-goal percentage (51.6).
The two teams played in late January and Northern Colorado won that one by 10, 82-72.
It wouldn't be the first time this season that the Jacks have risen to the challenge. They beat last year's Big Sky champion, Montana, which is tied for 5th this season, in the conference opener, 73-65.
And that's the kind of play it will take going forward to pull this season out. But not just once, six more times.

Different Types Of Travel Insurance
11 Jan
Whilst going for an insurance coverage, the negativity looks to previously to discourage you to taking such a huge step. So, most travelers locate it finest to overlook the pros and cons of a given insurance and grab any deal offered by their travel agent with no even getting a look at the specifics of the coverage or doing a bit of study. To worsen the circumstance, numerous folks believe that their wealth insurance covers for them when they make cross-nation visits. As a result, you may have to pick those alternatives that are not straightforward to take care of.
The first explanation for the producing travel insurance coverage claims, as stated by a travel insurance coverage company, is the trip cancellation asked by the family members in situation a loved ones member falls ill or is injured. The coverage linked with any trip requires the comprehension of your insurance coverage. Medicare is an exception when it comes to paying out for healthcare therapy outside the United States. Possessing completed the evaluation of your existing coverage, request yourself the question if you are in a position to pay out if you are uninsured.
Do you consider you would be ready to commit big quantity if you have been faced with a medical difficulty or lost luggage? Consider about the most essential elements before selecting a policy says the vice president of a travel agency insurance supplier. Exclusions are exactly where self injury is inflicted intentionally and so on but then the covered perils are constantly coated. To illustrate better, let's see what a household member implies to you or what do you comprehend by terrorism. A number of insurers are interested in possessing their own definition of terms.
If an incident occurs inside of 30 days of the traveler's trip and is also in his travelling itinerary then it is termed as terrorism. With respect to specifics of specific coverage, travel insurance and flight insurance coverage accident are perplexing. Accident insurance coverage is quite well-known on airports and is ordered from airport machines. Flight accident insurance coverage provides a heavy quantity to the beneficiary if death happens due to a plane accident. Trip cancellation waiver and travel insurance strategy is a diverse factor but people get baffled about it.
In most of the situations, there is no promise of money back in trip cancellation waiver but there is a likelihood of acquiring a travel reimbursement of 75 to a hundred percent on the long term trips. If the supplier is out of function then the policies presented by him would not be efficient. The definition of pre-present healthcare situation has established to be critical to a lot of mature travelers.
If a traveler has a healthcare background of an illness such as diabetes or asthma some insurers will not contemplate it to be a pre-present health care condition. A individual is compelled to buy the travel insurance inside of a week or two when the first payment of the trip is completed by the customer. Folks getting insurance coverage in this period of time would most likely get safety against financial default of tour operators, cruise lines, and airlines.

John Oates, half of music duo Hall and Oates said, "You may be embarrassed about the way you looked and the wacky clothes you wore when you were young, but normally, at least it's hidden in a box in the attic." We won't ask for a show of hands for those of you who are old enough to know who Hall and Oates are — the fact that you have a pair of parachute pants in the attic of your home is an answer enough! And as an aside, you also know if you put them on right now — you'd look like 200 lbs. of regret stuffed into a 50-lbs. sack!
Thankfully, you can leave the parachute pants out of your JKU attic if you choose (but really, we're not here to judge). You can store things: jackets, rain gear, tents, blankets, sleeping bags, you know — lightweight stuff — from this decade. Stuff that wouldn't make your kids try to crawl under the seat if you had them out in public. Our attic is made of mil-spec mesh and fits the 2016 and newer Jeep JKU.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by resting tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia. These clinical features are thought to arise from reduced dopaminergic input to the striatum, which is caused by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. The occurrence of PD is largely sporadic, but clinical syndromes resembling sporadic PD have been linked to mutations in at least 5 distinct genes (a-synuclein, parkin, DJ-1, PINK1 and LRRK2). Elucidation of the pathogenic mechanism underlying the selective dopaminergic degeneration in familial PD will likely provide important clues to the pathogenic mechanism responsible for idiopathic PD. Mutations in LRRK2 are the most common genetic cause of late-onset PD, but the normal physiological role of mammalian LRRK2 is unknown. Interestingly, multiple amino acid substitutions (R1441C, R1441G, and R1441H) have been identified on the same R1441 residue in the highly conserved GTPase domain, highlighting the importance of this residue in PD pathogenesis. Our generation and multidisciplinary analysis of LRRK2 knockin (KI) mice suggests that the R1441C mutation impairs dopaminergic neurotransmission and dopamine D2 receptor-mediated functions. In this application, we propose the following two Specific Aims to uncover the normal physiological role of LRRK2 in mice and to investigate the pathogenic mechanism by which LRRK2 mutations cause PD. First, we will determine the normal physiological role of LRRK2 in vivo. Second, we will determine how LRRK2 mutations affect dopaminergic neurotransmission. The central hypothesis guiding our proposal is that pathogenic PD mutations alter the normal functions of the PD gene products and cause dopaminergic dysfunction, which plays central roles in PD pathogenesis, ultimately leading to their degeneration and production of the parkinsonian phenotypes. The completion of the proposed study will uncover the normal physiological role of LRRK2 and provide mechanistic insight into how LRRK2 pathogenic mutations cause PD. Our long-term goal is to understand the pathogenic mechanism underlying dopaminergic dysfunction and degeneration, and to characterize the cellular and molecular pathways responsible for PD pathogenesis.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder, and mutations in the LRRK2 gene are the most common genetic cause for late-onset PD. In this application, we propose to investigate the mechanisms by which mutations in LRRK2 cause PD and to determine the physiological role of LRRK2 in mice. Completion of our proposed study will provide insights into PD pathogenesis and may identify novel therapeutic targets for development of more effective drugs.

March 17, 2013, Whistler, BC (ISN) – It was a day of familiar faces making their way to the podium at the North American and Canadian Biathlon Championships on Sunday in Whistler, B.C.
Quebec's Audrey Vaillancourt backed up her sprint victory with another win in the women's 10-kilometre pursuit. Calgary's Kurtis Wenzel took advantage of a 30 second penalty by Nathan Smith to win the men's 12.5-kilometre pursuit.
Vaillancourt, who won three junior titles at the 2012 National Championships, fired to her second straight senior title on Sunday with the victory in the women's 10-kilometre pursuit. The 21 year old missed four shots in as many rounds of shooting to post a winning time of 31:43.4.
"It was really exciting at the beginning of the race, and that's what I love about the pursuit is you are with people all the time," said Vaillancourt. "Our wax techs were pretty incredible today. I had really good skis today and yesterday. I don't know how they did it."
Julia Ransom, of Kelowna, B.C., finished well back in second +1:18.8 (0+0+2+1), while Megan Heinicke, of Prince George, B.C., held on for third place at +1:45.9 behind after a difficult day of shooting where she missed seven targets (1+0+5+1).
Quebec's Rose-Marie Cote also won for the second straight day in the junior women's category. Cote clocked a golden time of 34:18.5 (0+0+3+0) in the women's 7.5-kilometre pursuit.
Sarah Beaudry, of Prince George, B.C., also wrapped up her second straight title in the youth women's 7.5-kilometre pursuit race with a time of 28:23.5 (0+1+3+1).
Meanwhile, Kurtis Wenzel capitalized on a starting error by frontrunner, Nathan Smith of Calgary, to win the men's 12.5-kilometre pursuit. The 22-year-old Wenzel had a stellar day on the range, shooting clean to post a winnig time of 32:16.1.
Starting with the lead based on Saturday's sprint results, the 27-year-old Smith could not overcome a 30 second penalty for jumping the start gun, but maintained second position.
"I don't think I have ever started a pursuit in first so it was a little different today," said Smith. "I skied conservative the whole race, but after I missed my second shot in standing, I realized I had a 30 second penalty for starting to early and I upped the pace for the final lap."
Raleigh Goessling, of the United States, missed one shot to finish 1:22.5 seconds behind Smith to grab the bronze medal.
Macx Davies, of Canmore, Alta., also won his second straight junior men's title after posting a golden time of 33:32.5 in the junior men's 12.5-kilometre event. Brett Davie won the youth men's 10-kilometre pursuit after stopping the clock at 30:32.3 (1+0+2+1).
The North American and Canadian Biathlon Championships is the first event in the inaugural Sea to Sky Nordic Festival being held at Whistler Olympic Park.

My embarrassing mum!
Billy talking here: 'We met a beautiful golden doodle in the park yesterday. For those not in the know she was a cross between a golden retriever and a poodle. Gorgeous! Her name is Saffy. Anyway to my horror mum asked Saffy's dad if he'd like to make babies! And then to make matters worse she said I hadn't had the operation. Yet! Yikes!'

Earned: $172 Spent: $20 Saved: $0
On May 3rd, I posted my goals for May. Here it is May 10th, and I'm amazed to report that I've already acheived two of my goals! One milestone is all thanks to you; I've added fifteen new subscribers. Thanks so much everyone who subscribed! If you still haven't, remember it's easy, free, and I'll love you forever! 🙂
The other goal achieved was my snowflaking target. I now have 408 extra dollars to throw at my debt this month! My mini-garage sale yesterday was a big success. I have to give a shout-out to Antishay (a constant source of great ideas). In her "snowflaking business" series, she gave examples of how she advertises on criagslist. I followed her lead and posted a friendly and very specific listing of all the IKEA furniture that I was selling. One woman e-mailed back and forth about it. Sure enough, she showed up at 7:00 am and spent $150 for all that stuff. The future husband thinks I could have gotten more money, but I didn't pay much for it in the first place (someday I'll tell you about the cool IKEA contest I won). She wanted it for her son's room for his birthday this weekend. I loved that she was so determined and got a good deal, and I love that I can now park my car in the garage!
It was a cold, rainy Friday, so we didn't have much foot traffic. However, we made almost $300, so I got to add $172 to my snowflaking fund and the future husband's TV fund is now at $226. We're going to have one more sale in June with the kids; I'm hoping to get another $100 or so then. As soon as my stimulus check hits my account, I get to sent $1,008 to my credit cards. My original goal was to pay them all off by May 2009. After June 1, I may revise that to August or September. It's amazing how writing things down really does help me act differently.
Once again, let me cheer for blogging! If you're worried about debt, I highly suggest journaling or starting a blog. The great thing about the blog is that it's so public. At first, it's scary to put yourself out there, but then you realize that you have all these wonderful readers helping you along. Also, the pressure of writing every day can keep you focused on your finiancial goals. I know that I wouldn't have called my cards for a lower interest rate, started clipping coupons, or finally had a garage sale without this blog! Before I started writing, I'd spent sixteen months trying to pay off my credit cards. I sent in $1,000 payments, kept using the cards, and month by month the debt went up instead of down. Now, in the two months I've been blogging, I've paid close to $3,000 to my cards, saved a $750 baby emergency fund, and had a blast joining in the personal finance blogosphere.
Speaking of, I got another link on MSN Money's "Smart Spending" blog. Donna Freedman included my budget busters in her roundup of Oh My Aching Debts' meme. Be sure to check it out. I agree wholeheartedly with ChouChou at Debt Non Sequitur who said: "We all have stuff floating around in our heads, but when you write it down, take an honest look at it staring you in the face, it becomes reality and you have to make a choice about it.

UCEC Management Team: In Their Own Words
It's our pleasure to regularly give our blog readers a glimpse into our hard-working Management Team here at UCEC. Led by our officers Mark Inboden, President and CEO, and Evan Coulter, VP of Business Operations, the team also is made up of: Terry Engledow, Technical Support Manager; Garrod Massey, Operations Support Manager; and Paula Zangari, Project Coordinator.
Learn more about this fantastic team through their thoughts and reflections in the stories below. Thanks for stopping by the blog! Let us know if we can help with your next panel project by contacting us.
Our blog regularly features our leaders and employees in photos and videos. We've even done a virtual "shop tour." We want our customers to feel comfortable visiting their projects.
I'm pleased to announce that we've moved Paula Zangari into the newly created position of Project Coordinator. This move formalizes the efforts Paula has already been doing in her work with internal and external customers.
Our VP of Business Operations, Evan Coulter, is a busy man. But he's not too busy to share some of his thoughts on life, business and pumpkin spice lattes on the UCEC blog. Below, we've compiled a collection of Evan's best posts for your enjoyment.
Our CEO and President Mark Inboden was recently featured in a video for the The Alternative Board (TAB). TAB brings business owners and leaders from non-competing industries in Denver, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Golden and Evergreen together in a group setting – similar to a board of directors.
Editor's Note: This blog post was posted in 2014 by our CEO and President Mark Inboden.
In our ongoing efforts to utilize new technology, UCEC has recently started piloting a project management tool to track our jobs from start to finish. We found an amazing tool and have introduced it to our various teams.
Change is constant at UCEC. So much so, we have a saying here: "No change, no happy." We expect change constantly, whether it's a request from a customer or a tweak we want to make to a project. Perhaps a requested part is now obsolete. Or perhaps the customer wants to use a different part than planned. Construction changes happen, too, in far-off places, and that affects our plans. All of these changes need to be noted in a "living" document that everyone can access.
The world needs more level-headed thinkers who sometime take a slightly negative view of things, right? I'm sure you're all nodding, "Yes!"
A few months ago, I started acting as UCEC's unofficial "911 operator." I'm the one to call if the shop needs a part immediately. I'm kidding about the 911 part, but sometimes, there's an urgency to our daily shop work.
More and more customers are asking for a UL listing, so I think it's going to become standardized in the future. Many customers know the care we put into our panels, and they know the UL listing will be a good factor in their project.
Recently, I had a new job come in, and like I usually do, I double-checked the Bill of Material against the schematics to make sure what we purchased had actually arrived.
As a high school student, Operations Support Manager Garrod Massey studied electronics and robotics, even winning a robotics competition and landing a partial scholarship to the Colorado School of Mines. But after high school, Garrod's career took a different turn as he pursued musical aspirations and took on an appliance delivery job.
After our panels are assembled, Morgan will verify that they've been built from the latest print. Morgan has been with UCEC since 2011, so he's really picked up all of the various aspects of panel assembly.
Recently, Ron Siauw and I traveled to Underwriters Laboratory (UL) outside of Chicago for additional training. With UL, we have the ability in the UCEC shop to do three different listings: 508A (pretty basic, standard stuff); 698 and NNNY. These last two are ratings for control panels in hazardous locations.
We recently formalized a Quality Control team here at UCEC. It's comprised of Garrod Massey, Paula Zangari, Ron Siauw and Morgan Burris.
Over and above everything we make in the UCEC shop looms one of the most important foundations of our business: ethics. Without solid ethics in place, we're just one more business that makes a widget or two.
The shop is busy these days, which is pretty normal. We're working with long-time customers, first-time customers and everything inbetween. The word is out: UCEC makes great panels at a fair price.
I've read that sales of organizing supplies peak in January as everyone decides to get organized at the start of a new year. We've caught the organizing bug here at UCEC, too. One of my projects currently is organizing our warehouse and getting rid of obsolete and redundant equipment and supplies.
Operations Support Manager Paula Zangari wears several hats in her job at UCEC. As warehouse manager, she organizes parts, materials and supplies that arrive daily from vendors.
No day is alike at UCEC, a fact that Terry enjoys. "One of the reasons I love this place so much: it's always changing," Terry says. "Of course, change can be difficult, but I find that I like it."

This past Sunday, on the heels of a long and fruitful sermon series on God's vision for our church, we began a journey as a church through the beautiful, tragic, and hope-filled book of Exodus.
Since Covenant began, we've preached through Colossians, Psalms (some of them), Matthew, Jonah, and Philippians. We do this because we need God's word. If we are really a family of missionary servants that is committed to planting and growing authentic Gospel communities, then we NEED to hear from God. We need to know his story. We need to know who he is and what he has done. This is why we regularly preach through books of the bible.
Before we begin our journey through Exodus, the story needs to be set up. To get us all ready, we will be doing an overview of the book of Genesis to give a solid foundation for the story of the exodus of God's people from slavery in Egypt. We'll cover Genesis over the next 4 weeks.
Exodus stands as the foundational story for the people of Israel in the Old Testament. It is the story that turned a family of seventy into a nation. It is a story of great suffering and pain, and a God who hears the cries of a people. It is a story of a God who rescues, who remembers, who is near to the broken. It is a story of this God's great patience and mercy with a forgetful and rebellious people. It is the gospel of the Old Testament. We will see as we journey through Exodus that Christ is all over the story. We will see that the story of Exodus is our story. That God, in Christ has led us out of slavery to become his people. He has broken our chains, and purchased our freedom.
Here's where you come in. Get ready! Read Exodus (more than once.) Pray for us pastors as we prepare to equip the church for works of ministry through God's word. Pray for understanding. Pray that God would use his word to remind us who we are, and what he's called us to do. Pray that this series of sermons would help to sharpen you as a disciple of Jesus who is called to make disciples of Jesus. If you know anyone who's hurting, anyone who feels enslaved, begin praying that God would use this series to be a blessing to them. This book is for all of us. The world needs to hear it. Take what you will read on your own, and what you will learn in our Sunday gatherings. Take it like you take food. We are beggars showing other beggars where to find bread.

From Latin suppositītius, from the participle stem of suppono.
supposititious (comparative more supposititious, superlative most supposititious)
- (obsolete) Spurious; substituted for the genuine, counterfeit; fake.
- 1600, John Colville, The Palinod of Iohn Coluill, Edinburgh,[1]
- […] the said pretended Testament was supposititious, & contriued by such as meant to defraud both the heires female of the said king Henrie the 8. as well as these of his eldest sister […]
- 1628, William Prynne, The Unlovelinesse of Love-Lockes, London, p. 16,[2]
- But it may bee some will here obiect and say; that the Haire, and Loue-lockes which they weare, are supposititious, false, and counterfeit, and not their owne: therefore they violate no Law of God, nor Nature, since the long Haire they vse, is but borrowed, and aduenticious, their owne being short enough: perchance, but little or none at all.
- 1771, Oliver Goldsmith, The History of England: From the Earliest Times to the Death of George II, London: T. Davies et al., Volume 4, Chapter 37, p. 28,[3]
- […] the queen was brought to bed of a son, who was baptised by the name of James. This would, if any thing could at that time, have served to establish him on the throne; but so great was the animosity against him, that a story was propagated that the child was supposititious, and brought to the queen's apartment in a warming-pan.
- 1600, John Colville, The Palinod of Iohn Coluill, Edinburgh,[1]
- (obsolete) Imaginary; fictitious, pretended to exist.
- 1796, Matthew Lewis, The Monk, Folio Society 1985, p. 244:
- His good sense had pointed out to him the artifices of the monks, and the gross absurdity of their miracles, wonders, and supposititious reliques.
- 1836, Edgar Allan Poe, Review of Joseph Rodman Drake, The Culprit Fay, and other Poems and Fitz-Greene Halleck, Alnwick Castle, with other Poems in Southern Literary Messenger, Volume 2, No. 5, April 1836, pp. 327-328,[4]
- […] we discover in all men a disposition to look with reverence upon superiority, whether real or supposititious.
- 1890, William Dean Howells, A Hazard of New Fortunes, "Bibliographical,"[5]
- The following story was the first fruit of my New York life when I began to live it after my quarter of a century in Cambridge and Boston, ending in 1889; and I used my own transition to the commercial metropolis in framing the experience which was wholly that of my supposititious literary adventurer.
- 1796, Matthew Lewis, The Monk, Folio Society 1985, p. 244:
- Supposed or hypothetical.
- 1854, Charles Dickens, Hard Times, Chapter 2,[6]
- You might hope to get some other nonsensical belief into the head of George Gradgrind, or Augustus Gradgrind, or John Gradgrind, or Joseph Gradgrind (all supposititious, non-existent persons), but into the head of Thomas Gradgrind—no, sir!
- 1921, Arthur Ransome, The Crisis in Russia, "The Shortage of Things," New York: Huebsch, p. 18,[7]
- England produces practically no food, but great quantities of coal, steel and manufactured goods. Isolate her absolutely, and she will not only starve, but will stop producing manufactured goods, steel and coal, because those who usually produce these things will be getting nothing for their labor except money which they will be unable to use to buy dinners, because there will be no dinners to buy. That supposititious case is a precise parallel to what has happened in Russia. [Note: The UK edition reads "that suppositious case."]
- 1953, Isaac Asimov, Second Foundation (1971 Panther Books Ltd publication), part II: "Search by the Foundation", chapter 8: 'Seldon's Plan', page 90, ¶¶ 7–8
- "Why this particular problem, Speaker? It obviously has significance other than purely academic."
"Thank you, my boy. You are as quick as I had expected. The problem is not supposititious."
- "Why this particular problem, Speaker? It obviously has significance other than purely academic."
- 1854, Charles Dickens, Hard Times, Chapter 2,[6]
