Hi there, 1337 here (or Fyora if you prefer to call me that). This is editorial 54, which is 9*6 or the square root of 2916. Okay, in this issue I will answer many of your odd questions. Isn't this a triumph?
Hai 1337/Betty/GLaDOS
I has a question for you... it's been bothering me for quite awhile. Which faerie is better? Queen Fyora or the Tooth Faerie? ~ Emineu
Queen Fyora. :P Illusen and Tooth Faerie are 2nd and 3rd.
I pwn you. :P
What if I was under 13 when I started an account and Neopets didn't save my e-mail address? I forgot my password and Neopets couldn't e-mail me because my e-mail was not saved on their database.
PLEASE HELP!!!! THANKS! ~ dizz11
Sorry, then you'd either have to contact TNT or start a new account. Be sure to have proof that it is your account! Remember that TNT can take ages to reply, but when/if they do, you can make a note that it was a HUGE SUCCESS.
Seriously, how many times can we submit an Editorial Question? I have tons of question to ask!!! Just kidding because I like my questions to be answered! Thanks anyway :P ~ Suicider
You may submit as many editorial questions as you like, as long as they are reasonable and not something silly like "Do you like meercas?". :P
*throws INSERT FAVORITE ITEM* You said in the history that you had a different Rainbow Pool before this one. Is there any way to access this? I want to see the old poses. ~ odessy104
The old pet poses can be accessed here. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction for that page.
Doesn't this picture bring up any nostalgia moments?
Hey, 1337! What is 1337up made of :)?
*gives a free (not life-threatening) bucket* ~ Zadorvp
It is made up of win, love for Jen, a game loss inducing substance, and a cherry flavor.
Why is the question a multiplication question? ~ dontbetagainstalice
Because math is the best subject ever ;)
54, 48, 45, 20, 7, 41, 4D, 45, 21 ~ Marvin
4f 66 20 63 6f 75 72 73 65 20 49 20 63 6f 75 6c 64 20 64 65 63 6f 64 65 20 79 6f 75 72 20 68 65 78 1f 20 73 69 6c 6c 79 21
Mmk. Here's the deal. Say I have an unconverted Lupe. If I go and paint that Lupe Halloween, will it convert? ~ Pendragon703
Yes, painting an unconverted pet will convert the pet.
What?! Don't like me? Well fine!
How often do you lose the game when playing Neopets? ;o ~ cybunniesrule999
From Neopets itself? Rarely. Maybe no more than 1 Neopets induced game loss weekly. The games room doesn't cause any form of loss. Kass, you just lost the game by reading this. :)
Hi TJNT! *throws a few orange birthday goodie bags at you* Okay, so. I probably should know this, but I can't seem to figure it out. I share Neopets birthday ( :3 Nov. 15 ). I know that you unlock the birthday sidebar on your special day and Neopets as well, but what happens to all of us who do share the same birthday? Is that all we get? Nothing else in return?? It almost makes me want to cry. Okay, so it does make me cry. So what, want to fight about it? :D ~ bcrichgurl
Unfortunately, November 15ers do not get anything additional besides no ads (on Neopets' birthday, normal users still get ads on the site).
*Throws Confetti* My first question ever. *squeal* Alright, well, like everyone else, i absolutely love this site! It is one of the first websites that i go to every morning, the minute i launch my browser. Alright, the question. Neopets has items, obviously. When we go to use the item the pop up appears, and it shows the approximate cost of the item. Is TNT going to update these? Because obviously a Sniddberry is not worth 10,000 dollars. *or could it be?* ~ ehlorofmeldon
The approximate value has never been an accurate measure of an item's worth. This is because the Neopian economy, just like in real life, works by supply and demand. If there's a bunch of Sniddberries in existence, but nobody wants them, the price would be very low. We price what we must, because we can. For the good of all of us, except the ones who are frozen, Lab Maps are not priced at the 300np estimate.
What? You mean TNT thinks I'm worth 10k?
Hey JNT, or otherwise the JNT (TJNT). I was wondering if Neopets knew about this website. Do you know if they know that you know about them and have a reference source for them? ~ tamagotchi_trixy
Of course, the Neopets staff is very aware of Jellyneo. In fact, snarkie (a TNT member) has posted on various JN forum topics and JN news posts about Key Quest when it was first opened to the public.
Hello JN. :) I'm using the browser Google Chrome, because it's spiffy like that, is it known if the toolbar works in it? Thanks. ^^ ~ Kai
Unfortunately, no. The Neopets toolbar only works in IE and Firefox. Chrome support is not technically possible at the time as add-ons (other than plugins like Flash) cannot be added to Chrome yet. Google shouldn't cry over every Chrome mistake, however.
Hi 1337! *throws random box of cupcakes* When I was randomly going around some different neopets helpsites (you're still my number one though!) I discovered a plot. It was called Guild Masters Dinner Puzzle. What was it meant to be? Thanks! ~ commander_white123
The Guildmaster's Dinner was originally going to be a logic puzzle as an event (not necessarily a plot), but it got canceled. :(
1337!! *hands over awesome candyness of choice* Do you think Dr. Sloth will ever abduct Dave? ~ i_love_latin
No, Dave is a very loyal Sloth minion. Dr. Sloth might actually appoint him as his assistant... maybe.
OMG!!!! 1337 I LUV UUUU!!!!!!!1 CAN I LIVE WITH YOU? WERE GONNA GET MARRIED AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER! *smooch* *squeezes tightly* You + Me = luv 4 eternity! ~ 1337RoxUrSox
Okay. o.o Of course, I don't know who you are as you didn't leave any actual usernames behind. :P Sorry, but I'm probably not interested unless you are this user. You should keep on trying until you run out of jelly though!
Having a secret crush is like having a meepit watching you at all times, and that's a bit creepy.
Hey guys! *throws pizza* Love the site! I just noticed that the Buried Treasure game costs 150 neopoints, and it used to cost 300. Do you know why? ~ yin_yang105
During the month of November, the cost of Buried Treasure is cut in half to celebrate Neopets' birthday. Also, Buried Treasure will be completely free to play on the 15th. ;)
This question has been bugging me for a while... What do you guys do with all that food thrown at you via editorials? No way can anyone eat that much! Have food fights ever been started? *Throws chocolate fondue since everyone else seems to be throwing food the the fabulous TNJT* ~ WildKittyz
We try our best to avoid food fights over the editorial. Depending on the food, we might end up eating it, dodging it, or running to the nearest bathroom to wash it off.
No! Anything but the tomatoes!
Dear Jellyneo,
In Herdy's last editorial, I spotted a grave error in the next-to-the-last question. He wrote that "2 + 2 = carrot". Well, I would like to correct it. Everybody knows that 2 + 2 REALLY equals avocado.
So long and thanks for all the fish, ~ Birdy
Sorry, but that is also incorrect. 2+2=5, for extremely large values of 2. 2+2 also equals 10 in base 4.
Hi Jellyneo! -foams at mouth- Okay, so I was wondering, is it okay to earn a game avatar on side accounts? The game avatars are the games I don't usually play on my main, and I want my account to be backed up so if my main gets frozen, I won't lose my hard work. ~ greeneye268
No, you cannot play games on your side, as Neopoints can be earned playing the games. Sorry!
How do you get Job Coupons? ~ recessrulez
You can get a job coupon if you are lucky and win one at the Wheel Of Knowledge. Also, you can buy job coupons from other players through shops or trades.
Hello TJNT! *hands over a huge plate of desserts* My question is about the JN Staff caricatures done by Rosie. I understand that you all like to change the picture beside your information on the Staff Page. That in itself is awesome. However, now we cannot see the great pictures of all the staff, even with the Staff layout! Is there any way to have a separate page of Rosie's staff renditions, so we can see what the staff looks like (or want us to think that's what they look like)? Thank you kindly! ~ sunshinegirl_4511
Hi there Summra. You can find some of the staff caricatures over at the past Staff Hunt for those who participated.
Mandi says hi ;o
On Pet Days, is there a certain time when the pets are released? I am hoping to snag a hissi. :o ~ FallenDarkSeraphim
Pets can be released at random periods during the day. You'll just have to keep on checking throughout the day. :)
Why can't your Staff Directory go In-Depth on your staffers? Like, put their hobbies and stuff? Like how Rosie likes Dung? And Zador likes Buckets? And how Diet Terry is not yummy? ...Wow, why don't I just write the bios for you? xD ~ yaksrcewl
That's actually a pretty good idea. I'll go poke Dave on this.
The link seems to be missing for the "Sign Up" on the PetPetPark main menu, and the game won't allow me to log in as my Neopets user! Help!!!!!! *throws five pound chocolate bar at Terry as a token of gratitude* ~ neodinopet100
Petpet Park is still in beta. This means that only a select group of users will be able to successfully log on, while others can't for now. Sorry! :(
Hey again. I asked Jen a similar question, but I might as well ask you seeing as I wouldn't ever get an answer any other time. ;)
Anyways! Favorite flavor and brand of ice cream? Why? That's all. Thanks. :D ~ Michael
Flavor? Chocolate and mint chocolate, it is full of yum. As for brand, I don't have an opinion on that. :P
Hey all, great site you are running! Just a quick question for you: how come you don't give us news about banner ad games? They often end up as decent prize/NP giveaways. I have no problem finding them myself, I was just curious. ~ PrincessS121212
We pay attention to ad games, and create guides for them. We have a guide on how to make 30k a day from sponsor games here. :)
Hey TJNT! I'll get straight to the point... Can we customise invisible pets? And make clothes just float there? That would be pretty awesome ;D
-cheese- ~ l__ebilness__l
Unfortunately, invisible pets cannot be customised! If you try putting clothes on them, you'll get an error saying that it's not possible.
I'm not just a floating stem!
Hey 1337, How did you think of pwnt, and how did you start it? ~ Unknown
Meh, I just wanted something to practice PHP on when I was learning it, and just started it with basic (and crappy) scripts. Are you Jen? :O If so, I love you!
..and the editorial gets done, and you answer neat questions, for the JNers who are still alive!

The Faculty of Law was one of the first faculties created in the Higher School of Economics. Economic and legal disciplines, new innovative courses, fundamental law disciplines and narrowly specialized courses are all equally important for the Faculty of Law. The Faculty's strength is the curriculum's focus on the practical, which perpares its graduates to successfully meet the demands of the labour market.
The Faculty of Law was represented by Anastiasia Zakharova, Zhargal Budaev, and Julia Balandina, first-year students of the master's programme in International Trade, Finance, and Economic Integration Law, as well as Lilya Belfer, third-year undergraduate student of law. The team coach was Dimitry Mednikov, first-year master's student of International Trade, Finance, and Economic Integration Law.
Each team had to express their position on three issues on the appellation chamber, namely: can a government that came to power as a result of a military coup, recognize the ICC jurisdiction; is genocide towards 'third-gender' individuals possible; can an ex-child soldier person be exempted from criminal liability. The arguments were assessed by a judicial board consisting of Geoffrey A. Henderson, and ICC judge, as well as Hirad Abtahi and William St-Michel, ICC administration officials.
The HSE Faculty of Law students took second place in the final round of the Moot Court Competition. Anastasia Zakharova was acknowledged as the best speaker of the finals.
On April 20th and 21st, 2017, the Russian stage of the competition took place at HSE. Thirteen teams took part in it and represented the arguments of each of the parties to a case: advocate, prosecutor, and representative of the affected party. After the two days of the competition, the three best teams made it through to the finals in The Hague.
The HSE team came in third in the Russian stage, and was also given the award for the best memorandums for the prosecuting party and the affected party. The team members also took first (Lilya Belfer) and second (Zhargal Budaev) places as the best speakers at the Moot Court.
The HSE team would like to thank the competition organizers, the HSE Department of International Public and Private Law, and the embassy of The Netherlands in Moscow.

C. M. Narayanan
National Institute of Technology
Professor of Chemical Engineering
Title: Computer Aided Analysis and Simulation of Three Phase Semifluidized Bed Bioreactor with Special Reference to Xanthan Gum Production from Cheese Whey
He received BSc Engg from Banaras Hindu University, M.E. from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and PhD from Indian Institute of Technology , Kharagpur. He is actively engaged in Teaching and Research for the last thirty eight years. He has published 85 (eighty five) research papers in Journals of international repute. He is the author of four well known books on Chemical Engineering such as on Computer Aided Design of Chemical Process Equipment, Mechanical Operations for Chemical Engineers, Unit Operations and Unit Processes (in two Volumes) and on Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering .
Attempts have been made to perform computer aided analysis and simulation of the performance of a three phase semifluidized bed bioreactor. The bioreactor is of biofilm type and the process considered is the synthesis of Xanthan gum from Cheese Whey (after separating the proteins by Ultrafiltration), which follows Contoise - type kinetic equation. The process is aerobic in nature and both air and substrate solution (Cheese Whey permeate) are admitted from the bottom. The solution forms the continuous phase and air moves up as tiny bubbles (dispersed flow) through the bed of particle – biofilm aggregates (2.5 mm silica granules are used as support particles, each surrounded by a thin film of microbial solution). Being semifluidized, the bioreactor is composed of a fully fluidized bed at the bottom and a packed bed at the top. The performance of the bioreactor is thus analyzed by assuming it to be equivalent to two PFDRs (Plug Flow Dispersion Reactors) in series, each with a different value of dispersion number, Nd (the value of Nd for fluidized section being higher than that for the packed section). The performance equations (assuming dispersed flow) for both sections are written separately and then solved numerically using fourth order Runge – Kutta / line successive over – relaxation method, based on appropriate boundary conditions. The resistance to substrate transfer into the biofilm is accounted for in the analysis by incorporating the effectiveness factor (η) which is a function of substrate concentration at biofilm – solution interface, size of biofilm – particle aggregate and the effective diffusivity of substrate into the biofilm, apart from the Contois kinetic constants. The fractional gas holdup and liquid holdup in both sections, height ratio of fluidized section to that of the packed section and the semifluidization mass velocity are computed at the outset from selected experimental correlations (compiled from available literature). The results obtained from the developed software package are compared with experimental data compiled in the laboratory and satisfactory agreement has been observed between the two (thereby confirming the reliability of the mathematical analysis). The dependence of rate of Xanthan gum production on substrate flow rate, particle size, substrate concentration in feed are studied and illustrated graphically. The developed CAD package can be, therefore, recommended for the design and installation of three phase semifluidised be bioreactors and also for the analysis of existing systems.

Emergency Response Volunteers wanted
Would you be able to put your name down on a list of people who would be willing to be contacted to help in or after a time of emergency or disaster within Surrey?
This could be flooding such as that experienced in Surrey in the winter of 2013 or perhaps heavy snowfall or other extreme weather event but could be any event where there may be vulnerable people requiring assistance.
When an emergency strikes people do come forward and want to help out, but it can be quite difficult for emergency services to deploy volunteers to where they are needed when they are dealing with that emergency and is often in the aftermath rather than the actual event that volunteer help is most needed. What is far more useful is if people let us know before hand if they would like to help, then if an event that requires a community response does happen we can issue instructions on where to go and what we'd like you to do.
Signing up to the list does not oblige you to help out.
If you would like to sign up please use the link on this web page to fill out an application form.
Thank you.

The hypocrisy of boards as its best
https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/9.12/platinum/plus/champion/Mordekaiser/ This right here, means the champ is perfectly balanced. 55% wr, 23% pick rate, 70% ban rate, total 93% presence in plat+ games, almost 56% wr in diamond +. First time players are getting those kind of results, is it hilarious? "BUT JUST DODGE HIS SPELLS NOOB, HES A JUGGERNAUT hes supposed to be BROKEN" -boards 2019 Can you guys imagine if riven, yasuo, zed, or any other champ not on boards "favorites list" hit stats anywhere like this? Lmao. Fun fact : release reworked irelia and akali were all weaker than morde is currently (and they were ridiculously overpowered/both hotfixed). And this is why its completely pointless to talk balance here, the golden champs on their favorite list will always be either balanced (when they are ridiculously overpowered ) or weak (when they are actually balanced). Meanwhile that 47% wr yasuo that never sees competitive play is the most broken thing in the game ever made, right boards?

There are many virtues of Ramadan and fasting expressed in the Qur'an and in the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam. If only one of these virtues was told to us it would have been enough motivation to perfect our fasting seeking that reward and the pleasure of Allah, but it is again from the mercy of Allah that He taught us many virtues of fasting so that we get encouraged even more. I will focus mainly on the virtues of forgiveness, salvation from Hell fire and reward of Paradise, but before that I shall mention few other virtues that are not less important than the latter.
A means to attain Taqwa
Allah says [meaning]: "O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it has been prescribed for people before you so that you will (learn how to) attain Taqwa" [al-Baqarah, 2:183]
Indeed the person who has attained Taqwa has attained excellence in the worship of her Lord. In many Ayat of the Qur'an Allah says that the reward of the people of Taqwa is Paradise. This topic of Taqwa shall be the subject of one of the coming issues of Al-Mu'minah. We will just mention here two ayat in regard of the success of the people of Taqwa and their reward with Paradise.
The people of Taqwa are the successful people in this life and in the hereafter where they will be the dwellers of Paradise. Allah says [in meaning] : "This is the Book; in it is guidance sure without doubt to the Muttaqeen [people of Taqwa]. Who believe in the Unseen are steadfast in prayer and spend out of what We have provided for them. And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee and sent before thy time and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter. They are on (true) guidance from their Lord and it is these who are the successful. (al-Baqarah 1:1-5)
He also says [meaning]: "Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord and for a garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth prepared for the Muttaqeen [people of Taqwa]. Those who spend (freely) whether in prosperity or in adversity; who restrain anger and pardon (all) men; for Allah loves those who do good. And those who having done something to be ashamed of or wronged their own souls earnestly bring Allah to mind and ask for forgiveness for their sins and who can forgive sins except Allah? And are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done. For such the reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens with rivers flowing underneath an eternal dwelling; how excellent a recompense for those who work (and strive)!". [Aali `Imraan, 3:133-136]
A merciful recommendation from Allah
"and fast, it is better for you, if only you knew" [al-Baqarah, 2:184] Continue reading "The virtues of fasting in general and of Ramadan in particular –"

As the the best real estate in the App Store usually goes to the larger studios, application sales are managed by words and with the positive feedback anyone who has an excellent idea can luckily sell his own application. How can you start IPHONE AND IPAD APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT.
The step you are able to undertake in the beginning is to try out the development instruments. Official APPLE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT platform is named Xcode and is possible to be downloaded for free. You can't place your projects on the market with no developer's license, but you are still able to investigate the environment and figure out how much time it could require to be up-to-date. Apple presented the Swift program language in form of a substitute for Objective-C, that was occasionally painful to use for IOS APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT. As one can see from the name, Swift is more prompt platform. This applies not just to the quickness of the application. Prior to start you will want to get a Mac, it shouldn't be the strongest one. For example, Mac Mini will work well for iphone and IPAD WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT. Xcode is considered to be Integrated Development Environment for Mac and iOS applications. You are able to purchase it for free from Apple home website. Xcode will provide you a graphic interface permittin g you to write applications. iOS 8 requires the newest Swift programme language, which only exists for Mac, therefore it will require to set OS X as well. The following manuals would be practical in your start:
A number of Apple's API's lay their own approval directions and if you prefer to consolidate your application, for example, with HealthKit, then you might prefer to be conscious of these guidelines. It's great to know that Apple is inclined to be very careful on reviewing process. If you are engaged with creating something that is somewhat risky, be sure it would be refused, so be conscious of it prior to start iphone and IPAD APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT. So, if you have ready project, why wouldn't you let other people review your code and offer beta testers try it out. GitHub is a software version for such collaboration. As soon as you are in, it will become possible to connect Xcode without any problems and all your projects will be obtainable to review to other team members. Beta testing is very easy on iOS 8. With the use of TestFlight, you are able to suggest members of your team testing your application. It will just require downloading of the TestFlight.
A great way is to launch into by examining the popular apps. We don't have a public information on this issue, but still one can evaluate the costs according to similar applications. The common way of evaluating cost is multiplying features and time to hourly rate. The median cost per hour for creating IOS applications varies greatly, for example in USA it's around $150 per hour and $11 in Indonesia. It's great to consider this variation in hourly rate before you calculate the full price for building the app.
Creating iOS apps, be it iphone or CUSTOM IPAD APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT, will familiarize you with Xcode. When you are into it, you will have enough to construct apps in various languages. Once you start your app project, you will have to look for resolutions of more complicated challenges, but the instruments above will assist your beginning on the correct way.

So a lot is going on this week.

Quick Meat Sauce with Zucchini Noodles
So a few weeks ago Autumn and I went to a farmer's market a few miles away from my dad's house, where we are staying. We picked up a few things, but the big hit of the day was the honey we picked up.
She sampled a few kinds and picked out the kind that liked the most and every few days I give her a big spoonful of the local honey. It's a special, healthy treat that is great for preventing allergies here.

This is Sharon's fifth year of fun with the Plus 60 Friendship Club. Since retiring from school nursing, Sharon has enjoyed volunteering in various roles, often in the health field. Sharon is presently a volunteer parish nurse. She is also a yoga advocate, so don't ask unless you are ready to hear the mental and physical benefits of yoga.
Sharon has been blessed with five lovely children and nine outstanding, brilliant (no bias here) grandchildren who also offer fun-filled opportunities. Sharon enjoys taking each of the grandchildren hiking in the Grand Canyon when they turn ten years old.
Sharon believes that we humans are inherently social creatures, so it's no surprise that social activity helps keep us physically and mentally healthy as we age. Plus 60 Friendship Club offers many opportunities for this as well as opportunities to contribute to our community.

Profile of Susie Stark, Plus 60 Board Member
Retired school Math teacher: 10 years at JB Young Junior High, 23 years at West High School, 12 years at Rocky High School ( including 2 years at BH College)
I am a person who likes to stay involved in events that are fun and help others. I always thought Plus 60 is a good organization and would like to get more of the members involved in different activities that they would like to see implemented in the Quad Cities.
While at West High School, besides teaching, I was in charge of Student Senate for 10 years. During that time, I did many different events to raise money for local charities: held variety shows, trivia tournaments, euchre tournaments, fun nights where we invited all the feeder elementary school, car washes, and many more. Each month I would have the students prepare food for the local homeless shelter. The biggest fundraiser I did was the Student Hunger Drive. I tried to get the entire student body involved in the events we did to raise money to buy food for the food pantry or to go door to door collecting food for the hunger drive. It was an awesome sight to see so many students involved. The last year I did Student Senate we had enough food collected to fill 7 semi loads!! West alone raised over 310,000 pounds of food to be delivered to the Food Bank.
While teaching I also got involved with several non-profit organizations. CASI, Battered Shelter for Woman, to name a few. I am still involved with a group called "The Hearts of the Quad-Cities", which is a group of women that make the centerpieces for the non-profit fundraisers in the Quad Cities. I put together baskets for Silent Auctions for events like, CASI-Holiday Hat Bash, Make A Wish Foundation, Blue Grass Fireman's Ball, Bettendorf Rotary, etc.
I am married to Russ, a retired project manager electrician from DECCO. In Denver lives my son, Nathan and his wife, Wendy. Grandchildren, Addie-9 and Tiernan-7. In Davenport lives my son, Zachary and his wife, Callie. Grandchild, Vaughn-5 months.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve on the Board of Plus 60.
Profile of Kim Nelson, Plus 60 Board Member
I'd heard about the QCT Plus 60 Club for years, and once I became "eligible" to join, I was happy to do so! I admit I waited until I was 60, only finding out later I could have joined at age 55. However, all was not lost as I have had such a great time since becoming a member! I applied and was accepted as a board member almost 4 years ago, and since then I have learned so many new things about this area and our community. It is exciting to see all the new events, programs, and activities that are becoming available, and are geared towards seniors. Our population is forever expanding, and we need stuff to do as we get older. What I like most about this Friendship Club is the ongoing opportunities to meet new people, and experience new things! I admit to not having played Pickleball, or going to many plays or ballgames, but as I've gotten older, I have found there is a lot of fun and value in all these different activities.
About me: I was a Navy wife for a number of years and had an opportunity to live in many places, both in and out of this country. I started working for the government, and finally retired after 37 years with the Social Security Administration. This was a job I truly enjoyed as I got to meet many people from all walks of life – everyone had a story, and all were different. For fun I ride vehicles with two wheels (with an engine), four wheels (with really big engines), and even vehicles that have up to 16 wheels (motor coaches). I like to travel and also like writing the travel articles in Sunday's paper, which I hope you read. I like to quilt, like to read, and am active in two other community based organizations I am a proud mother of two children, and five active grandchildren. It's a good life.
Profile of Jolane Otto, Plus 60 Board Member
Mother, teacher,Junior Achievement consultant, Pickleball player, Plus 60 board member are all words that define me. I taught in the Central Community School District for twenty years. Then I retired and became a consultant for Junior Achievement. I continue to work in that capacity. I am a substitute teacher as well. I lo-o-ove to play Pickleball and do so at every opportunity. And lastly I AM a board member of Plus 60. Another job(even though it's volunteer) that I love.
I have four grown children, 10 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. My husband, Bob, is deceased and I live with Horton, my wirehaired terrier. I joined Plus 60 at the behest of my good friend, Kathy Michel, and have NEVER regretted that decision. I find Plus 60 to be invigorating, stimulating and it provides me with a darn good time. I have met and cherish many of the people who have come into my life through Plus 60. I encourage you to give us a try. I bet you'll like it.
Profile of Dave Fuller, Plus 60 Board Member
Career: Retired from John Deere after 31 years, 11 years at John Deere Harvester and 20 years at the Parts Distribution Center. Worked 7 years at the John Deere Pavilion as a tour guide. Volunteers at McKinley School for the past 17 years.
About: I joined the Plus 60 Board one year ago for several reasons.
First, it was the chance to meet new people; everyone has different backgrounds, stories, and knowledge that they like to share with others. I enjoy learning new things every day from listening to other people.
Second, the wide array of events that Plus 60 offers was my chance to try new things. have some new ideas myself that I hope will come to fruition. We need to challenge ourselves to try new things, and discover new places. I love to travel also.
Last, in our lives we go through three stages: we learn, we earn, & we return. I am now in the return stage of life, where I want to share my time and make things better for the next generation and enjoy working with people who are not afraid to try new things and help improve our Quad City community.

AHIMA fears HHS budget cuts could hamstring ONC
With congressional lawmakers working on the fiscal 2018 budget for the Department of Health and Human Services, the American Health Information Management Association is demanding adequate funding for the 21st Century Cures Act.
In a letter to the House Appropriations, Labor, HHS and Education subcommittees, AHIMA is asking for sufficient funding to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to meet its obligations under the Cures Act. The law contains several initiatives important to AHIMA, which represents medical records departments and other health information management professionals.
In March, President Trump released his preliminary, or "skinny" budget for Fiscal Year 2018, a document that provided only top-level numbers, and it proposed a 17.9 percent decrease in HHS funding. In May, the Trump Administration will issue a more comprehensive budget, but the big HHS funding drop in the preliminary budget alarms AHIMA and other organizations.
"The purpose of the letter is a pre-emptive strike to let Congress know the skinny budget showed significant forthcoming cuts," says Lauren Riplinger, senior director of federal relations at AHIMA.
Any funding cuts won't directly affect AHIMA, but the organization sees HHS and ONC as vested partners for improved interoperability and fears the drive to better sharing of health information will get sidetracked.
ONC offers interoperability education programs to a variety of stakeholders across the nation, including health information management professionals, Riplinger notes.
In the letter to lawmakers, AHIMA emphasizes the importance of adequate funding for the agency. "ONC's role in convening the Health IT Advisory Committee to identify, review and recommend standards and implementation specifications (as required by the Cures Act), is critical not only to advancing a core set of common data elements that will enhance the capture, use and exchange of structured electronic health information, but in advancing overall nationwide interoperability."
Also See: Trump's 'America First' budget plan calls for $15.1B cut to HHS
Without ONC's ability to convene interested parties to build and support the exchange framework, those efforts will languish and hinder nationwide interoperability, AHIMA tells lawmakers.
"ONC has served (and we hope will continue to serve) as an important federal partner in not only assisting both patients and providers in understanding a patient's right of access under HIPAA but also in disseminating best practices for fulfilling patient access requests for their health information."
Failure to adequately fund ONC will undermine a major tenet of the Cures Act itself, "the delivery of new drugs and devices to the right patient at the right time by ensuring electronic health record systems are interoperable for seamless patient care, and to fully realize the benefits of a learning healthcare system," the association warned.

One of Ferrari's most iconic models is the F40, which was introduced in 1987 and is the Commendatore swan song before he left the monster on August 14, 1988. The development and construction of the F40 was based on the 288 GTO Evoluzione, an extreme Group B specification that was introduced in 1986 to compete on a racetrack.
The events, however, took on Scuderia as the tragic accident that cost the lives of Henry Tivonen and his co-driver Sergio Kresto on the Rally of Corsica in May of the same year led the FIA to take the decision to abolish this legendary racing class.
Group B was introduced in 1982 and is widely regarded as the "golden age" of the races, particularly the Rally. The freedoms given to the engineers led to the creation of some of the most impressive race races, such as Audi Quattro, Lancia Rally 037, Lancia Delta S4, Peugeot 205 T16, Ford RS200, Renault 5 Maxi Turbo and Nissan 240RS.
The racing games featured four-wheel drive, impressive bodywork, large airfoils and engines with a brutal performance of over 600 horsepower. The Ferrari 288 GTO Evoluzione was based on the extreme version of the conventional 288 GTO, with an impressive appearance and a body full of aerodynamic aids.
It used an upgraded version of the 2.9-liter V8 with a 288 GTO twin turbo, which for the occasion delivered 650 hp at 7,800 rpm. The weight of the vehicle did not exceed 940 kg, while its performance was breathtaking. It took 4.1 seconds for the 0-100 km / h process, and its final speed was 362 km / h.
The plan of the Italian brand was to build 20 copies of the Ferrari 288 GTO Evoluzione to get the necessary confession, but the abolition of Group B forced the company's people to change their shots. Just six 288 GTO Evoluzione were built, the first being "hit" on a conventional 288 GTO.
One was used as the prototype for the evolution of the F40, while the others are supposed to be in collections around the world. Needless to say, this is a sought-after model with its selling price rising to seven-digit number.

How did you get started in the travel business?
In 1979, my dad Jim Sadie asked me if I would "help" him with the bookkeeping at Alabama World Travel, and I was glad to until he could find someone else. Little did I know he was giving me the opportunity of a lifetime for a wonderful career in travel! In 2015 things began to change dramatically, building my passion for travel and all I believed about it! My husband and I took our first big trip abroad together, experiencing new peoples, cultures, sights, train travel, a river cruise, foods, languages, and all through each other's eyes. The wonder was absolutely amazing! In 2017, he passed suddenly and I realized in exponential ways how deeply travel touches our lives! The memories of our travels together are some of the most endearing!
Now I spend my time immersing myself in discovery! Discovery through deep consultations with those seeking more than another trip. Discovery to help transform lives! Discovery to have specialist knowledge so I can match the right product with the right client for that season of life.
What has been your favorite trip so far?
My trip to Europe during the Christmas season with Mark is undoubtedly my favorite yet! We spent three days in Paris, walking through the beautiful City of Lights, seeing the enormous Eiffel Tower, walking down the Champs-Elysees at night, stopping in little cafes along the way, and seeing all three Arcs de Triomph, explained in detail by our private guide! Next was Amsterdam, taking in a canal cruise and an unforgettable tour of The Anne Frank House. Next was a wonderful river cruise down the Rhine River, seeing castles, vineyards, and countless parts of medieval history! We ended with a night in Zurich at the beautiful Dolder Grand, with a breathtaking view and incredible spa experience!
Where to next?
I am looking forward to my upcoming 10-day cruise from Montreal, along the St Lawrence River, and down the Atlantic, visiting the New England states during fall foliage! Next year, I hope to escort an Alaskan cruise and land tour to see the majestic northwest and its wildlife. Also on my list is a visit to the Holy Land to walk in the steps of Jesus! So many possibilities!!
Career Honors and Achievements:
I love to help others, so facilitating discussions for women and leadership groups, as well as my promotion to manager in 2011 have been special honors. I was thankful to achieve certification of CTIE (Certified Travel Industry Executive) from The Travel Institute in 2015.
Do you have a favorite quote or motto?
"It has to be win-win." Every person is of great value, and I value people by seeking to make every situation optimal for all parties.
How do you enjoy spending your leisure time?
I love spending time with family, leading small group fellowships and Bible studies, cooking, baking, puzzles of all kinds, and the beach! I am a cheerleader at heart, so I also love to cheer people on wherever I go!

Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman is a resounding cry for help for the working class. Willy Loman, the play's main character, is a traveling salesman, always on the road and so far removed from his family (physically & emotionally) that he is too blind to see how disrespected he is by his children, and how pitied he is by his wife. Willy's youngest son, Happy, and his wife, Linda, perpetuate an illusion of grandeur – convincing Willy that he is the greatest of everything, the greatest father, the greatest husband, the greatest salesman, and the greatest man who ever lived. In reality, Willy is just rather mediocre in everything, and his eldest son, Biff, comes to realize this and is conflicted between wanting to break the cycle of lies surrounding Willy, and respecting and honoring his father. As the boys come home and Willy begins to realize, subconsciously, that nothing really has been as he believed it to be, his mind starts to crack and, ultimately, even Willy's cowardly end is disguised as an act of sacrifice for the well-being of his family.
The Good:
Miller tells a painful truth of the working-class father and family. Children are raised to look up to their father as a hero, someone to emulate and worship; but, what happens when the father is just a man? Willy Loman is flawed in many ways. He lives a life of regret for missed opportunities, and he pretends to be a man of character and loyalty, all the while lying to his children about his supposed successes and deceiving his wife in the worst possible way. The turmoil, the struggle to balance a respect for father and husband with reality, this is the true genius of Miller's work. How does a family deal with its figurehead's superhero complex, when that superhero is really just the Clark Kent aspect – a decent worker but without any spectacular prowess. I found the husband-wife dynamic beautiful and tragic; that the wife removed Willy's "suicide pipe" each day to get it out of sight (out of mind) and then replaced it each night, so Willy would not know that she, Linda, knew, is so heartbreaking and so very real. The relationship, too, between the children and their father – the childish way they look at him, the way they pretend to honor and respect him, all the while calling him by nicknames like "kid," "sport," and "pal" as if he was just a younger friend, to be tolerated and coddled. Plot and characterization were masterful, the lonely desperation was moving and, despite its hilarity at times, left me really breathless in pained understanding of how tortured this man, this family really was.
The Bad:
The only negative is really a positive, in the end. I found it very difficult to connect with any of these characters, partly because the story moves so quickly and not much time is spent gaining an understanding of any one or the other character. Another reason, though, is because there just is not much to connect with. Each of the Lomans is so utterly superficial and self-indulgent. They pretend to have this powerful, unbreakable bond with one another, a love and respect above all others, to be idolized by other families – a model to all. Yet, while this made it difficult to care about the family, the point might perhaps have been not to care about this family, and its delusions. Their one friend, Charley, seemed to have a pretty clear understanding of what was going on, and though he tried to guide Willy into reality and offered him help whenever possible – including money and a steady job – Willy would not listen, and Charley's only real way to combat such nonsensical behavior was to behave rather (maliciously) nonsensical himself. It was frustrating that the one friend Willy did seem to have (despite his many claims that people all over New England knew him by name, and would come flocking to his funeral) was rather crass. Still, though I could not find myself loving any of the characters, I did find myself loving their story, and understanding it. So, again, the negative was not really a negative (though I can't help wishing they had been more tragically similar to the Joad family who, notwithstanding their many flaws, still redeemed themselves as people often enough).
The Final Verdict: 5.0 out of 5.0
Death of a Salesman is a stunning, powerful drama, reflective of the confusion of the "new" American sales family. This tale is the tale of the rise of capitalism and the destruction of personal bonds for monetary gain. Brothers, friends, children mean nothing in the face of making more, more, more. The characters were believable and easy to empathize with, though I could not really sympathize with any of the characters except, perhaps, Biff and Willy's brother, Ben.

Making almond and pecan bark., originally uploaded by sugar-cookie.
Yesterday I made some yummy almond and pecan bark candy. Last month I bought the cutest VINTAGE BUTTON MOLD from BAKE IT PRETTY. I love all the goodies on that site, but molding all those tiny buttons was just too time consuming to me. Instead of using my vintage candy molds that my mom gave me, I decided to make candy bark. It is very simple and fun. Here is what you need:
• Baking dish lined with parchment paper
• About one cup melted chocolate - I used dark and white and milk chocolate
• Approximately .25 cups of chopped nuts - I used almonds and pecans
Line the baking dishes with parchment paper. Place the chopped nuts in a thin layer in the pan. You sort of have to guess how much is too much depending on the size of the pan. Don't make the nuts too thick or the chocolate won't reach the bottom of the pan. Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe glass for 30 seconds at a time. Take it out and stir in more choco wafers until it is all melted. Pour the chocolate into the pan and make sure everything is covered. Once again, make sure it is not too thick or you might have a time breaking the bark like I did! I had to use a hammer! Next put the pan in the freezer for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate. After the candy is set you can turn the candy over on parchment or in the pan and break it into bite-size bits. Enjoy!
I made two kinds of bark yesterday. On the left you see dark chocolate and white chocolate swirls with almonds. On the right side is one that has milk chocolate and almonds and pecans together. I used the CLASEN CHOCOLATE WAFERS, too. I found that they tasted better than the chocolate wafers we had as children and the dark chocolate was sweeter - like frosting!

There is a wealth of evidence showing that increasing the distance between an argument and its head leads to more processing effort, namely, locality effects; these are usually associated with constraints in working memory (DLT: Gibson, 2000; activation-based model: Lewis and Vasishth, 2005). In SOV languages, however, the opposite effect has been found: antilocality (see discussion in Levy et al., 2013). Antilocality effects can be explained by the expectation-based approach as proposed by Levy (2008) or by the activation-based model of sentence processing as proposed by Lewis and Vasishth (2005). We report an eye-tracking and a self-paced reading study with sentences in Spanish together with measures of individual differences to examine the distinction between expectation- and memory-based accounts, and within memory-based accounts the further distinction between DLT and the activation-based model. The experiments show that (i) antilocality effects as predicted by the expectation account appear only for high-capacity readers; (ii) increasing dependency length by interposing material that modifies the head of the dependency (the verb) produces stronger facilitation than increasing dependency length with material that does not modify the head; this is in agreement with the activation-based model but not with the expectation account; and (iii) a possible outcome of memory load on low-capacity readers is the increase in regressive saccades (locality effects as predicted by memory-based accounts) or, surprisingly, a speedup in the self-paced reading task; the latter consistent with good-enough parsing (Ferreira et al., 2002). In sum, the study suggests that individual differences in working memory capacity play a role in dependency resolution, and that some of the aspects of dependency resolution can be best explained with the activation-based model together with a prediction component.
We examined the effects of argument-head distance in SVO and SOV languages (Spanish and German), while taking into account readers' working memory capacity and controlling for expectation (Levy, 2008) and other factors. We predicted only locality effects, that is, a slowdown produced by increased dependency distance (Gibson, 2000; Lewis and Vasishth, 2005). Furthermore, we expected stronger locality effects for readers with low working memory capacity. Contrary to our predictions, low-capacity readers showed faster reading with increased distance, while high-capacity readers showed locality effects. We suggest that while the locality effects are compatible with memory-based explanations, the speedup of low-capacity readers can be explained by an increased probability of retrieval failure. We present a computational model based on ACT-R built under the previous assumptions, which is able to give a qualitative account for the present data and can be tested in future research. Our results suggest that in some cases, interpreting longer RTs as indexing increased processing difficulty and shorter RTs as facilitation may be too simplistic: The same increase in processing difficulty may lead to slowdowns in high-capacity readers and speedups in low-capacity ones. Ignoring individual level capacity differences when investigating locality effects may lead to misleading conclusions.
Dependency Resolution Difficulty Increases with Distance in Persian Separable Complex Predicates (2016)
Delaying the appearance of a verb in a noun-verb dependency tends to increase processing difficulty at the verb; one explanation for this locality effect is decay and/or interference of the noun in working memory. Surprisal, an expectation-based account, predicts that delaying the appearance of a verb either renders it no more predictable or more predictable, leading respectively to a prediction of no effect of distance or a facilitation. Recently, Husain et al. (2014) suggested that when the exact identity of the upcoming verb is predictable (strong predictability), increasing argument-verb distance leads to facilitation effects, which is consistent with surprisal; but when the exact identity of the upcoming verb is not predictable (weak predictability), locality effects are seen. We investigated Husain et al.'s proposal using Persian complex predicates (CPs), which consist of a non-verbal element—a noun in the current study—and a verb. In CPs, once the noun has been read, the exact identity of the verb is highly predictable (strong predictability); this was confirmed using a sentence completion study. In two self-paced reading (SPR) and two eye-tracking (ET) experiments, we delayed the appearance of the verb by interposing a relative clause (Experiments 1 and 3) or a long PP (Experiments 2 and 4). We also included a simple Noun-Verb predicate configuration with the same distance manipulation; here, the exact identity of the verb was not predictable (weak predictability). Thus, the design crossed Predictability Strength and Distance. We found that, consistent with surprisal, the verb in the strong predictability conditions was read faster than in the weak predictability conditions. Furthermore, greater verb-argument distance led to slower reading times; strong predictability did not neutralize or attenuate the locality effects. As regards the effect of distance on dependency resolution difficulty, these four experiments present evidence in favor of working memory accounts of argument-verb dependency resolution, and against the surprisal-based expectation account of Levy (2008). However, another expectation-based measure, entropy, which was computed using the offline sentence completion data, predicts reading times in Experiment 1 but not in the other experiments. Because participants tend to produce more ungrammatical continuations in the long-distance condition in Experiment 1, we suggest that forgetting due to memory overload leads to greater entropy at the verb.
In a self-paced reading study on German sluicing, Paape (Paape, 2016) found that reading times were shorter at the ellipsis site when the antecedent was a temporarily ambiguous garden-path structure. As a post-hoc explanation of this finding, Paape assumed that the antecedent's memory representation was reactivated during syntactic reanalysis, making it easier to retrieve. In two eye tracking experiments, we subjected the reactivation hypothesis to further empirical scrutiny. Experiment 1, carried out in French, showed no evidence in favor in the reactivation hypothesis. Instead, results for one out of the three types of garden-path sentences that were tested suggest that subjects sometimes failed to resolve the temporary ambiguity in the antecedent clause, and subsequently failed to resolve the ellipsis. The results of Experiment 2, a conceptual replication of Paape's (Paape, 2016) original study carried out in German, are compatible with the reactivation hypothesis, but leave open the possibility that the observed speedup for ambiguous antecedents may be due to occasional retrievals of an incorrect structure.

It has been said that "a diamond is forever." Diamond jewelry is meant to last a lifetime. It is also an expensive purchase. When you make a diamond purchase, you want to make sure that you are getting what you want, and that you are not paying too much. Although it is important to make sure that you know what you want before you make a purchase, buying a diamond ring does not have to be scary. With the Internet, it is easy to comparison shop for diamond jewelry. There are so many beautiful choices, you probably can't go wrong.
Comparison Ring Shopping
When you are buying a diamond ring, you want to get the best value for your money. Not all diamond retailers charge the same price for the same quality of diamond, or the same type of setting. Fortunately, internet can help you comparison shop for the right diamond ring.
Buying a Diamond Online
There are many advantages to buying a 鑽石戒指 online, and very few disadvantages. Prices for diamonds online are usually a lot cheaper. Online jewelers don't have to pay for a storefront and displays, and they don't have to worry about paying for expensive security to ensure that customers don't steal the diamonds or rob the store. There is a far greater selection available online as well. Additionally, shopping for diamonds online is convenient. You don't have to get dressed, drive to the store, or use any gas. When you consider that you can shop at several different stores online in less than an hour, that convenience is multiplied. The only drawbacks to shopping for your ring online is that you won't be able to see your diamonds in person before you buy it, and if you have to return a diamond ring, you will have to mail it in, which takes longer than driving it to the store.
