The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is expected to arrive early and leaked images of the device turned out to be fake, but that doesn't mean the rumor mill stops churning. A new report coming from Weibo, who are typically reliable when it comes to battery leaks, suggest the Note 9 could be even bigger than the Note 8. Don't Miss: How to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ The Galaxy Note 9 is said to feature a 6.4-inch screen, up from the 6.3-inch of the Note 8, but see the same 18.5:9 aspect ratio retained. What may seem like a relatively small increase in screen size is significant as it will widen the gap between the Note 9 and the S9+. In addition, Samsung could be looking to bump the battery significantly from the 3,300mAh capacity on the Note 8 to either 3,850mAh or 4,000mAh. This should see a noticeable increase in battery life over the current model and could serve as an important factor in those looking to upgrade. Rumors are still up in the air as to if Samsung has perfected the technology required to embed a fingerprint sensor under the display. However, current opinions suggest the sensor will be left off the Note 9 in favor of a sensor on the back similar to the Galaxy S9/S9+. It is expected the device will inherit the improved camera of the Galaxy S9/S9+ so if the screen size and battery are not improved on the Galaxy Note 9, it would leave very little reason to upgrade. With the Note series typically being Samsung's opportunity to show off its technical evolutions over the previous year, the device usually includes some standout features. However, we may have hit the pinnacle of the current advancements the company can make this year and the Note 9 could be an evolution rather than revolution over the Note 8.

Ionis Pharmaceuticals Posts Q3 Revenue of $110.9 Million
Wednesday, November 9, 2016
Carlsbad drugmaker Ionis Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s stock is up over 26 percent despite a slight miss on earnings reported Wednesday.
The company posted revenue of $110.9 million in the third quarter, nearly in line with Wall Street expectations of $111 million to $113 million. Earnings per share came in at 6 cents, while expectations were at 7 to 8 cents.
So why the soaring stock price? Despite missing expectations, Ionis Pharma's third quarter revenue is up 126 percent from a year ago, and that the company's net income improved to a gain of $7.4 million from a loss of $36 million in the same quarter last year.
Ionis' shares have also benefited from positive trial results for nusinersen, a therapy that could win FDA approval next year for use in patients diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy.
In Ionis Pharma's latest financial statement, management provided an update on nusinersen and its other products in development. The company's top-line growth was mostly thanks to $96.9 million in licensing fees paid by big biotech firm Biogen that's related to nusinersen's development.
Of course, Ionis' earnings statement comes alongside a widespread rally in biotechnology shares following the election of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president. On the campaign trail, Trump appeared more amenable to the industry than Hillary Clinton.
Ionis' stock (Nasdaq: IONS) was trading for $39.71 at midday Wednesday, up a whopping 47 percent just since last Tuesday.

A digital atlas describing the first hours of vertebrate embryo development
A digital atlas describing the first hours of vertebrate embryo development
Madrid, June 19, 2014.
A new computational workflow designed by researchers at Technical University of Madrid (UPM) reconstructs the genetic and cellular information of early embryogenesis
How are organs formed during embryo development? Why do cells decide to group and create the heart, or the eye, if they all look similar when dividing up from the zygote in the first moments of life? These are some of the big open questions still puzzling biologists nowadays.
The development of new imaging technologies -such as multiphoton fluorescence microscopy- and labeling protocols -such as in situ hybridization- has recently allowed to record these events for the first time in zebrafish embryos, an animal model for vertebrate development. "Now we have images where different gene expressions are clearly visible with cellular resolution, this opens an unprecedented opportunity to solve these open questions" says Dr. Carlos Castro-González, the UPM researcher at the Biomedical Image Technologies Laboratory that has led this project together with a team of engineers and biologists from the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS), France. "However, these techniques have limitations and only a few gene expressions can be acquired each time. There was a need to develop computational tools to combine different acquisitions. This was the only possible way to gather all the information that biologists require and solve the puzzle", remarks Dr. Castro-González.
Today, these computational tools have been made publicly available to the scientific community thanks to their release at the prestigious journal Plos Computational Biology, an open-access publication that promotes high-quality research leading to new biological insights and holding the promise to be adopted by a broad community of users.
These tools have already been employed to quantify the variability in development between different individuals and to measure the characteristic gene expression profile of cells undergoing gastrulation, a process leading to the formation of the spinal cord in vertebrates. "This information is highly relevant to test the effect of new drugs and has potential applications for regenerative medicine", concludes Dr. Castro-González.

The Mulberry Bush School
The Mulberry Bush School
'Showing the way in therapeutic child care'
The Mulberry Bush School is a non-maintained residential special school and children's home. It is a national resource, based in rural Oxfordshire looking after vulnerable children aged 5-13 from all over the UK and actively working with their families. The School comprises five residential homes, an on-site school, a clinical therapies and networks team and a training team, all based on one outstanding spacious and well-resourced site.
You can download a copy of our Information Booklet for parents, carers and professionals here
Our Provision
The school provides integrated 38-week and 52-week specialist residential therapeutic care, treatment and education for primary aged children made vulnerable by their severe Social Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties.
We work closely with referring authorities and the children's birth, foster and adoptive families to support them with the changes they need to enable them to live together. We carry out a needs assessment on each child and their family during the first 12 weeks of placement. This provides base line assessment information from which we develop our education, care and treatment plans and ensures we can closely monitor progress in all areas. We are committed to being flexible in tailoring our provision to meet the needs of each child and family.
All our staff are trained to Level 5 via our Foundation Degree in 'therapeutic work with children and young people', accredited by the University of the West of England.
Our Services
- Individualised care, treatment and education plans, overseen by a multidisciplinary Treatment Team of highly trained professional staff, including a team of therapists.
- 38 week and 52 week therapeutic residential care. Our 52 week 'step down' children's home service 'The Burrow', opened in Summer 2018.
- High quality educational provision developed to meet the specific needs of each child in our on-site school.
- Psychotherapy, drama and music therapy, group work, family therapy and Video Interaction Guidance.
Click to Read More
- The leadership team has maintained the outstanding quality of education at the school since the last school inspection.
- While in your care, pupils make momentous strides in their learning, confidence and self-esteem.
- The new approach to assessing pupils' progress is now properly embedded across the school and assists teachers in sharing with pupils what they need to do in order to improve their work.
- The key therapeutic approaches you adopt are woven through every aspect of the school, including the curriculum.
- Your staff are also acutely aware of the impact they have on pupils. Nothing is left to chance. Every aspect of each pupils' care is planned in minute detail. Consequently, pupils whose experiences have been negative in other educational institutions, including special schools, often have very positive experiences at your school.
- Safeguarding within the school is rightly focused on developing pupils' understanding of how to conduct safe relationships. Social and emotional learning is sensibly prioritised within the school curriculum.
- The school has strong evidence which shows that its work to help pupils make sense of their own complex and often traumatic life stories is having a positive impact.
Our most recent Ofsted Inspection of the Quality Standards was in October 2018 and rated the school 'Outstanding'.
- Leaders and managers have been extremely thorough in preparing to change registration from that of a residential special school to a children's home.
- The children's home provides highly effective services that consistently exceed the standards of good. The actions of the children's home contribute to significantly improved outcomes and positive experiences for children and young people who need help, protection and care.
- Children make significant progress emotionally and so become more open to learning and social interactions.
- Parents spoken to are extremely pleased with improvements, such as educational achievement and the reduction of serious incidents, often when there had been no progress for many years before admission.
- Wherever possible, staff work with families or carers to provide holistic support. This has successfully helped transfer progress to the different settings children live in, to maintain relationships or to retain people's involvement in children's lives so that it can be resumed if and when possible.
- Leaders and managers have very effectively combined the resources of the residential, education and therapy teams so that children's experience of life is enhanced and life chances much improved. One professional said, 'This is the whole package … They have got everything right for my child. I can't see anything that needs improving.'
- Managers and staff respond to safeguarding concerns promptly and effectively. They work hard to make sure that children who make allegations (and the staff concerned) are safe. Regular meetings are held with the designated officer of the local authority to discuss incidents − an admirable additional layer of scrutiny.
- Managers and staff put strategies in place to protect particularly vulnerable children. These are thorough and, as one professional said, 'They think about it from every angle.'
- The emotional impact of the work staff do is enormous, but there are very effective systems in place to ensure that the provider supports them exceptionally well to manage it.
The Mulberry Bush School Statement of Purpose
You can download a copy of the full Statement of Purpose Here
Our mission statement is:
To transform the lives of all those affected by childhood trauma, through specialist therapeutic services.
Click to Read More
Our aim:
The Mulberry Bush School works with the most challenging children in the country, and with their families and carers. Our aim is to help the children and their families thrive and achieve fulfilling lives within their communities and as part of society.
The children have all suffered severe and enduring complex trauma in their early years; by that we mean that their traumas occurred in relation to the adults who were their trusted main carers. These damaging events and relationships lead the children to display the most extreme anxiety creating behaviours, which then gives rise to multiple placement breakdowns and school exclusions. The impact of their repeated experience of adults' inability to cope with and survive them, has compounded their trauma and creates unmanageable levels of anxiety in the children and their professional and family networks. Children act out this anxiety and confusion through a range of extreme behaviours including; violence, damage to property, sexual inappropriateness, fire setting, absconding, roof climbing, self harm, soiling, smearing and wetting, inappropriate aggressive or racist language threats and allegations.
The Mulberry Bush School is different to other residential placements as we create an environment to emotionally contain such extreme levels of emotional and physical unmanageability. Our aim is to manage the anxiety, create stability and provide a challenging but nurturing therapeutic experience, that starts to heal the traumas. Our ambition is to work with the family towards returning the child at the end of their stay with us to a stable home base and appropriate school, able to function more appropriately in mainstream society. Our early intervention helps to break the cycle of deprivation that will otherwise lead to an enactment of high risk and abusive behaviours into their adult life, hence our work is both emotionally and financially cost saving to society .
The Three Core Principles
The organisation has three core principles that underpin its therapeutic work:
- Staff need a good psychodynamic understanding to provide an informed psychodynamic approach
- The development of a reflective culture at all levels and in all disciplines is paramount
- Collaborative working is central to a high quality treatment environment
Our core values:
- We believe in the benefits of a Therapeutic Community approach.
- We value and promote a psychodynamic approach to all aspects of our work, specifically a belief in the value of reflecting on experience and learning through such reflection.
- A belief in the importance of understanding the meaning of behaviour as a form of communication used by children who cannot find other ways of communicating their confusion and distress.
- We work with a belief in the dynamic nature of individual and group relationships
- We value and promote an integrated approach to assessment, planning and delivery of services.
- We are committed to supporting staff through training, professional development, supervision and consultation.
- We are committed to a way of working which does not punish or judge people and which both respects and enables them to express their unspoken thoughts and feelings.
- We believe the above must apply to all people who use Mulberry Bush Services no matter what culture, race, religion, gender, ability or age and stage in life people may be at.
Our model of practice:
Since 1948 the Mulberry Bush Approach has continued to evolve and our current work is adapted and highly attuned to the needs of each child and family. Our work is underpinned by psychodynamic principles which enable us to provide an intensive and highly integrated therapeutic milieu. This lived experience includes; group living, education, individual and group therapy, nursing and specialist consultation, and works in close partnership the children's families and their professional networks.
Enabling the development of meaningful relationships is at the heart of our work. This requires us to place emphasis on understanding our own thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. We incorporate new ideas and current research including trauma informed brain development into our practice, whenever appropriate. This approach sits alongside our belief in the importance of clear boundaries within a planned and predictable environment. These convey a sense of containment and safety that has often been lacking in the children's lives. We help children to learn to be in a group and conform to its rules and expectations; we help them learn to self-regulate, and we keep children's enthusiasm and expectations high in relation to their educational achievement. To achieve this, our staff are trained to view behaviour as a communication.
By understanding the emotional meaning of the behaviour, and reflecting on the impact of this with the children, we help the children make sense of their complex inner worlds. This self-reflective stance is built into all our staff support systems. We believe that if our staff are to work effectively with such challenging children, they have to themselves feel valued and supported.
The Mulberry Bush School
Our aim is to reintegrate all children placed with us into an appropriate family and school.

A two-and-a-half-hour vocal recital by Vamanan Namboodiri in Thrissur left his audience in a state of mental repose. A senior musician of All India Radio, Vamanan's métier seemed melody right from the first number, delivered in a soothing voice. The placidity with which he performed throughout appeared worthy of emulation. Further, his selections for the concerts highlighted his quest for classicism.
The opening number was GNB's composition in Natta 'Kari mukha varada' in Adi. Swati's 'Maamavadasa varade' in Nattakurinji and Roopakam was preceded by a short alapana. The syncopations at select junctures added to the beauty of the rendition. The rare raga Manoranjini seemed intricate to negotiate for the minute differences in swaras. But its melodic appeal coupled with a streamlined flow was endearing as Vamanan ventured into it. Of the three variants of Ranjini, Manoranjini is the janya of the fifth mela raga Manavati. Conspicuous is the omission of 'ga' in the arohanam. It is an upanga raga. The raga, though rarely attempted by musicians nowadays, became popular through the Tyagaraja composition 'Atu kadara nibalka' in Adi, perhaps the only one.
The concert gained in melodic niceties as it progressed. The raga that followed was very much quintessential of this trait. It was Neelambari, perhaps most befitting the ambience of serenity that Vamanan was trying to create. The Swati composition 'Anandavalli' in Adi received an elegant alapana. The slow tempo made the rendition more alluring. The Misra chap composition of Dikshitar in Saranga, 'Sarangarajapriye' followed next.
The concert also provided an opportunity for senior citizens to enjoy 'Chinna nade na' cheyambattithive', a Tyagaraja composition usually presented by maestros of yore. The raga Kalanidhi itself is rare and a janya of Khararaharapriya. Energising was the fast number with its vakra swaras – sa re ga ma sa pa ma dha ni sa in the arohana and sa ni dha pa ma ga re sa in the avarohana.
The RTP in Todi received a scholarly elaboration of the raga with myriad shades of it coined impromptu. This was in sharp contrast of the raga singing in the previous numbers which indicated the musician's sense of propriety. Moreover, it brought to light his technical virtuosity by braving the tala of a complex structure, Misra jati tripuda in tisra gati. Perhaps this number stole the whole show as the accompaniment artistes also rose to the occasion and supported the musician with gusto. The sahithya chosen for pallavi was 'Nayakam, vinayakam, jananayakam, thadha bhajami'. The tani tagged to this piece was equally praiseworthy.
Purandaradasa's 'Jagadodharana' and Swati's 'Nadasudhamayi' were rendered at the end.
Edappally Ajith on the violin, Poongad Sanoj on the mridangam and Vellattanjur Sreejith on the ghatam contributed substantially to make it a memorable performance. The concert was staged under the aegis of Bharatham, Thrissur.

At first, it saw but could not open so I called Support and have been led thru several versions of uninstall/reinstall; one was even by Support themselves.
After the first round Act!2007 stopped even offerring Outlook as an email option.
Is there an obscure file somewhere that needs to be activated or terminated?
Some Registry key that is duplicated?
The machine was originally Vista but was reformatted with XP Pro to forestall mucho upgrading.

"Whenever possible, we encourage all users to wait until later this year for our releases with full Vista and Office 2007 support."This is now 2008. The end of the year has come and gone in case you didn't notice, Sage. There has been no release for support with Vista and Office 2007 for this product. I got a call from your support department wanting to know if I want to pay for another round of support. Fat chance of that happening. I asked them about this upgrade and they advised, "It should have been released and provided in an upgrade." So I did that, the upgrade, and of course, there is no support for Office 2007. I'm still running XP, so I don't care about Vista support.Is Sage really working on this, or are they just hoping that everyone will forget about this and just make the jump to 2008 instead of waiting for a fix that obviously isn't coming. What is really going on, folks???? Have the "balls" to come forward and tell the users if this is ever going to happen. We're almost into the second quarter of 2008 and you've far exceeded your promise of "later this year." If we ran our company that way we would be out of business in no time at all.

Unfortunately Tom, Microsoft changed not only the API for Office 2007, but also the native file format that they had used for many past versions.
This meant that they change was too big to do in a patch and needed major changes, which could only be done in the next full release.
OK, I have Office 2007 and ACT 2007... trying to import the Excel into ACT. I got a reply to install some CRMaddon, ItImport, but it didn't work, even if i saved the excel file as a 2003 compatible... and then I find out this itImport is $555.00, come on... I should be able to do this for free... there has to be some way? anyone figure this out yet? Please help, I don't want to manually imput 500 records.... but I would to save $555 from those "much helpful" people.
For Office 2007 support, you should be using ACT! 2008
To do a straight import, export the Excel in CSV format then import that into ACT!

Had started something similar to this blog here and here.
"There are better ways to build a portfolio for everybody to see" as Esper pointed out, therefore I'm here.
My plan is to make a decent site where posts can be reached by categories.
Moving to wordpress or to a page entirely self-built are far from my current skills though, so this should do it for now.
Let there be light!

They may not be Oscar winners, but there are some pretty great movies where Big Rigs steal the spotlight on the Big Screen. Some are stars, others have bit parts, but they all play an important role. Here are 22 movies that wouldn't be the same without trucks.
Smokey and the Bandit — 1977
This action-packed, classic 70's comedy had some pretty great actors, including Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Pat McCormick, and Jackie Gleason. As legendary trucker Bo "Bandit" Darville, Reynolds was the epitome of cool. In the film, he signs on to haul contraband beer across state lines, with the help of a colorful cast of characters and a CB radio. But the real star of the show was the truck (and a Pontiac Trans Am). Bandit's antics attract lots of attention, resulting in a lengthy, high-speed chase, with "Smokey" on his tail (CB slang for a highway patrol officer). Smokey and the Bandit was the second highest-grossing movie of 1977, trailing just behind Star Wars, and inspired several other trucking films, including two big-screen sequels and four made-for-TV movies.
Pee Wee's Big Adventure – 1985
"Yes sir, that was the worst…accident…I ever seen." In this film, a suit and bow tie wearing man-child named Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens, from the popular 80's TV show, Pee Wee's Playhouse) is on a quest to find his stolen bike. Along the way, he hitches a ride in a haunted semi with the ghost of a trucker named "Large Marge." It's perhaps one of the creepiest scenes in a comedy for kids, but it's the one everybody remembers. "Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!"
The Matrix Reloaded – 2003
The second film in the Matrix trilogy features one of the most intense and lavish freeway chase scenes in Hollywood history. When the movie opened in 2003, audiences were on the edge of their seats as Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) traded Kung Fu moves with one of the villainous agents on top of a speeding tractor-trailer. A stunt-filled standout scene in one of the most popular film trilogies ever made. The mile and a half long fake freeway was built from scratch on an abandoned naval base, at a cost of $2.5 million dollars, and General Motors donated more than a hundred cars for the scene, all of which were totaled.
Cars – 2006
Where would Lightning McQueen be without Mack? Cars is a computer-animated adventure that takes place in a world populated entirely by cars and other vehicles. This beloved Pixar film was voiced by an incredible cast, including Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, Bonnie Hunt, Larry the Cable Guy, Tony Shalhoub, Cheech Marin, Michael Keaton, and John Ratzenberger, of course. In case you haven't noticed, Ratzenberger has played a role in nearly all of Pixar's films. Mack (a Big Rig) sets off a chain of events that drives the plot of the film, while transporting Lightning McQueen (a rookie race car) to the Los Angeles International Speedway in California. Eager to get in some practice time before the three-way tiebreaker race for Piston Cup Champion, McQueen pushes Mac to travel all night long. While driving on the freeway, Mack drifts off and is startled by a gang of street racers, causing McQueen to fall out the back of the trailer. McQueen wakes in the middle of traffic and speeds off a side road in search of Mack. He ends up lost in the run-down desert town of Radiator Springs, and the rest is animation history!
Here are a few more must-see movies where big trucks play a pivotal role:
- Convoy – 1978
- High Ballin' - 1978
- The Road Warrior – 1982
- Beverly Hills Cop - 1984

- Big Trouble in Little China - 1986
- License to Kill - 1989
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day - 1991
- Breakdown - 1997

Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Many lawyers who handle motorcycle accident cases have never actually ridden one. Attorney Bill Keis has a lot of experience with motorcycles — he owns several motorcycles including off road bikes, belongs to motorcycle organizations and has taken his motorcycle all over the country, including course training and racing. Warren George also shares the love of motorcycles and spends a lot of his summer biking through the Alleghenies.
We Know The Road, We Know The Law, We Will Fight For You
This intimate understanding of the challenges motorcyclists face on American roads helps the motorcycle injury attorneys of KG provide knowledgeable legal advice and experienced representation to motorcycle accident victims in the Cleveland area and throughout Ohio. If you have suffered a serious personal injury or the loss of a loved one in a motorcycle accident, contact us now for help.
When Motorists Fail To Respect The Rules Of The Road
We know that many times a motorcycle accident is not the rider's fault. Other drivers often simply fail to pay attention to motorcycles or expect them to respond in the same way another car would. Too often we have seen motorcycle riders who have been badly injured or killed in an accident caused by ignorance or inattention on the part of a motorist.
Bikers have a right to the road and to be respected just like the driver of any other vehicle. At Keis George, we fight for the victims of motorcycle accidents and to hold negligent drivers to account for the devastation they can cause.
Our motorcycle injury lawyers handle a full range of serious motorcycle accident and injury cases, including:
- Head trauma and brain injury
- Severe road rash
- Badly broken bones and damaged joints
- Amputation or loss of function in a limb
- Severe back, neck or spinal cord injury resulting in physical disability
- Wrongful death
If you were badly injured or a loved one died in a motorcycle accident anywhere in Ohio, get an experienced team of trial lawyers on your side today. Call our offices in Cleveland or Columbus toll free at 216-438-9093 or contact us by email today for a free consultation. We handle accidents that occur on I-71, I-77, I-90, I-80, Route 2, I-480, Route 8, I-271 and other Ohio roads, highways and interstates.

Everyone you meet nowadays will inform you to get fitter and healthier , and for good motive too. Cardiorespiratory health could be measured using VO2 max , a measure of the quantity of oxygen the physique can uptake and utilize. 26 27 Cardio train, which improves cardiorespiratory health, includes movement that will increase the center charge to enhance the physique's oxygen consumption. This type of exercise is a vital part of all training regiments ranging from skilled athletes to the on a regular basis individual. Additionally, it helps enhance stamina.
Studies have shown an association between increased physical activity and lowered irritation. 33 It produces both a brief-term inflammatory response and an extended-time period anti-inflammatory effect. 34 Bodily exercise reduces inflammation along with or independent of adjustments in physique weight. 35 However, the mechanisms linking physical exercise to inflammation are unknown.
Roll is basically, really match. He is actually famous for it. His books, podcast , and weblog all give attention to how he fuels his extremely-marathoner body with a plant-based weight loss plan, and his recommendation and inspiration reach thousands and thousands. Roll spent the previous yr focusing on growing and fascinating his neighborhood, and that paid off—more people than ever are studying from and improving because of him, and that is unimaginable.
The actress and yoga guru is the creator of Yoga With Adriene , a YouTube channel (and life-style) liked by yoga newbies and specialists alike. Mishler's channel has nearly 2 million followers, and it is easy to see why: Her sequences are straightforward to comply with and smooth, making them perfect for yogis of all levels. She kicked off 2017 with Revolution ,†31 days of yoga videos that challenge her viewers to apply each day. We won't wait to see what Mishler has planned for the remainder of the yr.
Cohen is all about finding workouts you can do wherever. The health expert's most up-to-date ebook, Robust Is the New Skinny , goes beyond training the physique to encourage readers to get stronger physically, mentally, and nutritionally. Cohen's no-nonsense approach to getting wholesome has won her many fans, and she or he's a frequent guest on shows like Good Morning America and Dr. Oz. Her favorite piece of recommendation? The one time greatness comes earlier than hustle is in the dictionary.†We will not argue with that.

My Symphony: Iron Doors by The Lighthouse and the Whaler
When I was 13, the shallow, naive, vapid person that I was, I would get myself in heated fights and arguments and I would always say, "I don't forgive and I don't forget, so don't fuck with me". I don't really know what I was thinking, except that I wasn't really thinking. Who am I to be so cold and bitter? Who am I to be so mad at the world and the people in it that have disappointed me? Who am I to live a life of hatred, anger and coldness? I am nobody. And for this, I forgive.
I forgive my brother for being utterly annoying and self-righteous.
I forgive the people back home who haven't made it to my present life – I forgive them for being a thing from the past.
I forgive my English teacher in Eleventh Grade for not buying me the lunch that she promised me, and for not returning my favorite Greek Mythology book that I let her borrow.
I forgive all of the fucked-up drug addicts in this world. I know it is not entirely their fault. What happened to them and to their lives could have happened to anyone of us.
I forgive Nicholas Sparks for writing novels that have caused millions of people to get confused about the real nature of love and its naked identity.
I forgive my Mom for not being in my life physically for the past twelve years. I forgive her for not being around when I had my first zit, or when I flunked a test in Elementary School for the first time, or when I had my first crush, or when my voice started to get a little deeper. I forgive her for being away from me all the time. I forgive her; I do. Because she's my mother. And at the end of the day, she's the one person I love the most.
I forgive my Dad, too. I forgive him for being so thrifty. He wouldn't even consider a three-dollar cup of coffee cheap. I forgive him for his dishonesty and his being secretive and closed off. I forgive him for thinking that I am too weak and too prissy to be his nail boy when he was building that tree house when I was six. Because I do know how to use hammers and nails! But I forgive him for believing otherwise. I forgive him because he's my dad. And at the end of the day, he's the first guy in my life. He was the one who made me stand on his wide, strong palms and carried me around the house and the streets, making me feel like I was the best thing that has ever happened to him and mom.
Lastly, I forgive myself.
Kenn, I forgive you for being such a disaster right now. You are like, I don't know, Magnitude 8.6 earthquake, but I forgive you. I forgive you for feeling totally alone, lost, scared and vulnerable. I forgive your non-stop drama, and the way that you see the world. I forgive you for not being so proud of yourself these days, and for not having a backbone ninety percent of the time. I forgive your flaws, and your heartaches, and your romantic-idealistic take on life. I forgive you for the way you handle your emotions. I forgive you for almost killing yourself because at one moment you felt like life was not worth living. I forgive you for your weaknesses and for feeling like you're never going to be good enough. I forgive all of your mistakes and your shenanigans. I forgive you if sometimes all you want to do is to just run out of the room in the middle of the class and go to the Sea Wall and watch the birds do their thing as the sky falls in closer and closer to you.
I forgive you. I do. Because at the end of the day, it is what it is. At the end of the day all of this is your life. Nothing more, but definitely nothing less.

The first chart is the daily chart with the Ichimoku indicator overlay.
The recent corrective move saw price to $50.50 level, which importantly is the Kijun–Sen support level, the middle price of the past 26 periods. This is the second level of support after the price moved into the future cloud. Importantly, the Chikou Span remains above the price of 26 periods ago and this is a bullish factor. The future cloud Senkou Span A is currently rising, which also portrays a bullish technical set-up.

"Washington is attempting to clearly declare its military presence in Iraq by patrolling missions near Samarra, Fallujah and al-Anbar," Hashim al-Kandi told the Arabic-language al-Ma'aloumeh news website on Saturday.
He said the fact that US Deputy Commander in Iraq Austin Rim Furth conductts patrol in Baghdad along with the US forces, and that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived in Iraq on a military plane indicates Washington's attempts to occupy the country again, saying that Pompeo and Trump's trip to Iraq showed that the US has no intention of playing an advisory or training role.
The analyst said that the recent talks between Pompeo and Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi were focused on the US forces' withdrawal from Syria and finding a new base for them, adding that relocation of these forces to Iraq will endanger its security as Washington plans to threaten the neighboring states from Iraq.
In relevant remarks last Saturday, a senior Iraqi lawmaker disclosed that Israel's intelligence forces had arrived in Baghdad along with the US troops.
"Israel's intelligence forces have been witnessed patrolling with the US troops in Baghdad," al-Maloumeh quoted member of Iraqi Parliament's National Security and Defense Committee Karim Alivi Javish as saying.
Alivi Javish reiterated that the Iraqi Parliament's National and Defense Committee would probe the US troops' presence in the Iraqi capital.
In a similar report late last month, the US troops patrolled together with Baghdad Operations Commander in the Iraqi capital.

Next in order to being shot from and missed, there is nothing quite as satisfying as a possible income tax refund. – F. J. Raymond.
Many people see a tax Write Off as a feature earmarked just for huge companies with large turnover, profits, and expenditures. Surprisingly, it is not correct. Tax write off is for everyone, even if you run your business from home. The net Revenue Service is very generous in the Write Off on your taxes if you know what you are entitled to.
What is the address printed on your own name card? If it is the residential address, you will find the advantage of a taxes write off! The IRS allows a certain tax Write Off if an area in your house is used for enterprise purposes. Even if the location is not used exclusively for business, a tax Write Off will be applicable so long as it is your primary location for business and/or it is in places you meet your clients. Even though you do not own the home but are just leasing it, part of the hire can also be deducted. You might even qualify for duty relief for repair and maintenance of the house.
At some point, loans and bad debts are almost inevitable if you wish to expand your business beyond its bottleneck. For those who have taken a loan for the purpose of expanding or operating your business, the accumulating interest may be competent for a tax Write Off. Obviously, the loan nonetheless needs to be repaid through you so dont overdo it just for the reason of enjoying the tax write off. On the other hand, when you have a client who refuses or is not willing to pay for services or products, you can classify it as a bad debt expense and request a duty write off. It will, no less than, minimize your loss.
IRS guidelines declare that all transportation charges for travel inside of United States are applicable for any tax write off in the event the principal purpose for that trip is company. This is something worth looking into as it signifies that you and your family can have wonderful vacations anywhere inside country for free. There isn't any specific guidelines through IRS about it, but in general, claims with regard to tax write off about transportation cost is going to be valid as long as there are many business days than private days during your trip. Claimable items include pickup truck's cab fare for getting in order to airport, airfare, and cab fare from airport to motel and so on. Even if you dont travel and choose to travel by rail or vehicle, you will get the benefit.
There are certainly more ways to have your tax decreased. This is the last tip: most insurance premiums associated with your home business qualify for a write off. Insurance premiums upon medical, malpractice, disaster and theft are several such examples. It is prudent to refer to your accountant for additional tax write offs along with other tax related issues.

This will be my last year as chairman and also my last year as a meet director. I know that some people would like me to stand for chairman again and continue with the meets. However, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer de novo and I would like to change the way I live and spend my time because it would seem I don't have much of that left.
In early November there will be a call to all interested members to put their resume's forward for chairmanship candidacy. There will, for the first time, be an election to decide on the new chairman. It will be an electronic process, managed by the USA Powerlifting National Office.
Meets will continue. Gina Hensley is working on her own powerlifting meet company and will be up and running before I close my office door.
12 October 2019
The Rookie Rumble was a huge success, if one looks at the growth in powerlifting. My first Rookie meet 3 years ago had 14 interested lifters and this year, the Rookie meet filled 2 platforms in 36 hours.
The talent we saw at this meet was phenomenal. The Master lifters made a big impact and many new Michigan master records were set.
The USA Powerlifting Michigan membership has doubled since 2016. It is truly exciting. We hope that this trend in growth continues.
29 September 2019
The Iron Monger was a very small meet, only 21 lifters showed. However, it was a great meet with an energetic atmosphere. The spectators really got behind the lifters. The best female lifter was Jennifer Kowalczyk, who had been in a car accident a month before this meet. This lady obviously has grit. The best male lifter has been chasing the best lifter award for a while, but Donald Watts made good work of it at this meet.
There were quite a few rookies at this meet, which always makes a meet special. The best female master lifter of the day was a rookie!
The meet was small, but it was memorable. The venue was clean and the hosts were excellent. Great job by all, from the spotters and loaders to the drug testers!
22 June 2019
The Rochester Performance Gym BarBellum was a meet for the record books. The meet sold out within 6 hours. This was a mind blowing event for the meet director – seeing that this was also a double platform meet. This meet was well attended by lifters and spectators. Only 2 registered lifters did not make it to check-in, so we had two full platforms. The venue let us know that it was a record spectator attendance for them too – with approximately 300 visitors. We saw a number of Michigan records fall at this meet. We also saw some known lifters returning to the platform after a period of absence., such as the best male lifter, Jordan Bywater. The top three lifters of the day were all females, based on IPF points. The top lifter of the day was Samantha Shinavier, a newbie!
It was a great meet.
4 May 2019
The Spring BarBellum was well attended. It was another stellar meet at Rochester Performance gym. Keara Wilson a 72kg Junior was the best overall lifter of the day with a 422 total and a 728 IPF point score. Terry Ahlander took the best overall male trophy with a 742 total.
7 April 2019
The Motor City BarBellum, a 2 platform meet, was held at Motor City Iron Gym in Sterling Heights yesterday. Everything was first class, except the software we used let us down. It grouped the 83 and 93 kg divisions together, even after manually changing the weights. It will be brought to the attention of the national office.
The meet was good for many reasons. We had a good mix of new and seasoned lifters. I believe that it creates a good platform where the 'newbies' can learn and the seasoned lifters are reminded of how far they have come. The venue was great. A big open space with elbow room and the facilities were clean and inviting. The spotters and loaders were on par, so the meet progressed at an impressive speed.
We did not see a lot of Michigan records being broken, but we did see many personal records being set.
It was a good meet with many new friends made.
24 February 2019
The 3D Fit BarBellum meet was held at 3D fit Arena in Riverview yesterday. It is a new venue and it is hopefully a great space we will visit again. The owners and operators Tim and Donna were gracious guests and very helpful. The best male lifter was Dante Dalton and the best female lifter, Susan Mattingly. Susan was not only the best female, but placed second overall.
A young first-time lifter, Seiry Morales, broke every record on her weight class. She is an impressive young lifter we will hopefully see more of in the future.
Overall, this was a good meet. Some new friends were made and we hope to see you all in the near future.
#michiganliftingmagic is alive and kicking!
January 2019
The new year is here and we already have 9 sanctioned meets on the 2019 Calendar. The first meet, the High School Qualifier, had to be cancelled due to a lack of registrations. However, there were 10 youngsters needing to qualify for Nationals. We ended up having a 'garage meet' at Wixom Lake to give these young lifters a chance to qualify and 8 out of 10 did so!
We are looking forward to this year with a couple of new venues. There are more meets in the Southern part of the state.
The State meet and Rookie meet does not have a venue as of now, but we are working on finding a suitable venue with the required amenities.
USA Powerlifting Michigan has almost doubled its membership numbers since 2016! We hope for this to continue.
See you on a platform soon.
4 November
The Michigan Teen and Youth meet was held on 3 November at Birch Run High School. It was a very small meet, with only 20 lifters. Most of the lifters were from Goodrich High School, trained by coach Ron. We saw many new Teen records and Youth records being set. The new talent in this group of Teen and Youth lifters was phenomenal and it makes one realize that this sport is growing and the future is very promising. The outstanding lifters of the day were Aiden Roeder and Willow Tetmeyer. They both set numerous records. Aiden missed a 400 Wilks' by 0.27, a personal goal of his. We hope to see them on a platform again soon.
The youth lifter of the day as Macy Smith. This young lady made her debut on the platform a couple of years ago and her progress was evident yesterday.
The Chairman's Choice went to a young lifter named Daniel Leone – he went 8 for 9 with an injured knee, but showed grace and sportsmanship on the platform.
14 October 2018
The Michigan Iron Monger was held on 13 October in Rochester Hills, at Rochester Performance Gym. This is one of the favorite venues due to the cleanliness of the gym and the support provided by the owners, Steve and Amanda Stuecher.
The Iron Monger is an annual push/pull meet. It was well attended, with 50 lifters. Almost 50% of the lifters were rookies, which made this meet very exciting to watch. The third attempt deadlifts, especially by the rookies, were a crowd pleaser.
Some lifters noted that the information did not show new records being broken, but that was due to the fact that lifters were comparing their efforts to the full lift records and not the push/pull records. We did, however, see some new records set by masters.
Corissa Geer dominated the female lifting and Basel Elias took best male lifter. Both awards well deserved by these two Michiganders.
We look forward to this meet next year. It will be held at Rochester Performance Gym again, on 28 September 2019. Hopefully we can repeat the energy and great effort.
16 September 2018
The Rookie Rumble was held at Raw Mana in Holland on 15 September. It was a very good meet. Out of the 44 registered lifters, 37 showed up and it was a magnificent show of new talent.
The overall best lifter was a female lifter! Chandler Babb is a young lifter, trained by Rudi. She deadlifted three times her body weight and her other achievements are also worth looking at. Coming in a 71kg, she benched 87.5 kg and had an impressive 145kg squat. I do believe we will see more from Chandler in the future.
Raw Mana was a great venue. The crowd was loud and responsive. It sure is a meet to remember.
2018 has started with vigor. The first meet of the year as the Michigan High School meet where we saw numerous records broken and a number of athletes qualify for nationals.
Our 2018 calendar is rather full this year. We have a meet almost every 6 to 8 weeks, which makes for an exciting lifting year. The meets are filling up quickly, quicker than expected. Getting your registration in when its opens is important. The meets are all capped and therefore the first to register are the first to make the roster.
I have been asked why the meets are capped. The answer is all in the capacity to provide a well-run and manageable meet. It is important for meets to start on time nd not to continue into all hours of the night. The referees, spotters and loaders work throughout the meet and also reach a point where it becomes task instead of being a pleasure. Each platform requires at least 5 referees and 8 spotters and loaders – referees and people willing to load weights for hours on end are in short supply. So, to make the meets manageable for the meet director and to keep volunteers willing to come back, we have to restrict the number of lifters per platform. Why not run 3 platforms? Well, that entails quite a bit of additional equipment and volunteers. It is much easier said than done. Currently we have one promotor running meets in Michigan and their capacity ends at 2 platforms and 90 lifters.
The economics of running a meet
I thought I would write a bit about the economics of a meet. It seems that many lifters think that a meet simply appears on the day, like magic. There also seems to be a common belief that running a meet is free and that the meet director is given all the equipment for free.
We have great days filled with drug-free lifting because someone is working and paying to make it happen.
There is an enormous effort that takes place before any of it comes to the point where you click and register for a meet. After that, there is another enormous effort before the chief referee says the word, "Start".
Firstly, we need a way to communicate with the lifters and provide a way for them to register. So, there is the cost of the website and the cost of maintaining the website. Furthermore, making the meets known via Facebook marketing is not for free either. The paid FaceBook marketing is also covered by the meet director.
Then the meet director has to acquire equipment, a platform and everything that goes with that. From the floor protection demanded by the venue, to the bars, calibrated weights, calibrated scales, ER rack, collars, weight trees, computers, projectors, screens, tables and the other bits and pieces to make the meet run. The 'little things' like t-shirts, baggies filled with goodies and providing lunch for the officials, also has to be paid for.
Venues don't host meets for free. The meet director has to negotiate a fee with the owners. The venue fee, depending on the size of the meet, can be up to 15% of registration fees.
Getting the equipment to and from the venue is also something that bears some attention. Hauling 3000-6000 lbs from one part of Michigan to another, takes some doing. Whatever is used has to be road worthy and capable of moving that amount of weight safely. Payment for the truck, trailer and the accompanying insurance does not come cheap.
Setting up for a meet takes time. Registrations have to be captured and the administration around it takes many man hours. From personal experience, a meet can take up to 250 hours from beginning to end.
The equipment has to be set up the night before the meet. Once the platform is up, sleep for those who have to work the next day is important and driving home is not always an option. The local hotel/motel does not house people for free.
During the meet we need officials, computers, volunteers, software that works and ways to project the loading charts on screens for loaders. Talking to the crowds and lifters also requires some form of a portable sound system.
After the meet we need medals, awards, certificates and furthermore each drug test has to be paid for by the meet director. All of this comes at a cost which is not negligible. Once all is done, the administrative process requires that the results are sorted and uploaded to the national office. Documentation for every meet has to be filed and fees need to be paid. The records have to be double checked before posted and the urine has to be sent off to a clinic in CA for testing.
All of these costs are covered by the meet director, whether the lifter shows up at the meet, or not. A refund costs the meet director. Money for all these expenses comes from registration fees.
USA Powerlifting is a brand, it does not own any equipment and it does not contribute to any of the expenses.
All the equipment, from the USA Powerlifting banners (which have to be purchased from USA Powerlifting) to the collars on the bar, belong to the meet director. The meet director pays the federation for the use of the brand name and to have the meet sanctioned. This adds a great flavor to the meet because we know the playing field is level and we have records to compare ourselves with. It also gives the lifter the possibility to lift on a regional and national level.
Weeks of prep and organization goes into getting it all set up for the big day. If this is not done well, the meet will reflect that. I try to keep our meets professional and fun, this can only be done while there is money to cover these costs. Anyone who thinks this is a profitable business, think again. Making a profit should not be a motivation to run a meet.
Lastly, most lifters seem to think it is wrong for a meet director to make a profit based on his/her hard work, dedication and effort. The meet director will never become wealthy, the profit margin is too small and is non-existent, whilst the loans for the equipment have not been paid off. Furthermore, expecting a person to work for no reward does not seem fair. The meets are not run by USA Powerlifting, it is run by a promoter who only derives an income from the registration fees.
So, registration fees will not be refunded. Registration fees will also not be transferred.
On another note, our calendar has grown and we will continue to do so for as long as lifters want to lift. We would like to bring more meets across Michigan and we are always looking for new venues suitable for a meet. If you have a powerlifting friendly gym, please put them on our list!
Best of luck to all our Michigan lifters in the upcoming meets.
Many happy and heavy lifts!

Tire Problems (cont'd) - FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes cupping?
Cupping can be attributed to bent or worn suspension parts, wheel misalignment, or imbalance. Once this wear pattern has occurred, it is irreversible and the tires will continue to wear unevenly.
How many years will tires last?
Tires are composed of various types of material and rubber compounds, they have a serviceable life. Tire manufacturers recommend
that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced.
Accurately predicting the serviceable life of any specific tire in advance is not possible.
Manufacturer date can be found on the tire sidewall.
What is ozone cracking or weather cracking?
These small cracks typically develop in the sidewalls or at the base of the tread grooves. Depending on their severity, they may be cosmetic in nature if they don't extend past the rubber's outer surface, or may be a reason to replace the tire if they reach deep into the rubber.
Why is there a "break-in" period for tires?
Tires are comprised of many layers of rubber, steel and fabric. Due to these different components, your new tires require a break-in period to ensure that they deliver their normal ride quality and maximum performance. As tires are cured, a release lubricant is applied to prevent them from sticking in their mold. Some of the lubricant stays on the surface of your tires, reducing traction until it is worn away. 500 miles of easy acceleration, cornering and braking will allow the mold release lubricant to wear off, allowing the other tire components to begin working together.
What should I do if I notice a vibration?
Any vibration should be an alert to a problem with your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced immediately.
Please note that while this is intended to outline general guidelines and considerations, it is not all-inclusive.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.

Today MIT highlighted its 'Professional Education Program' on its website. The PEP is basically MIT's continuing education module, made for people who are pursuing careers (or possibly changing careers) in the sciences. While some of its offerings aim to be flexible with continuing a full time job, offering online options or one-week intensive programs, most of them are not. Because as a professional, you can afford to just up and quit your job and spend thousands of dollars on classes at MIT.
Yes, it's true I am a little bitter about not being in school right now. I love education, I love learning new things, and being at what seems like a continual turning point in my career only increases the feeling that this love in my life is currently being wasted. But at the same time, i know it's something that's not going to go away. In even looking at the programs offered, I became intrigued. I mean, look at this description: "Project-based introduction to the contemporary city as a complex system within a context of limited resources and competing interests. Learn to assess scenarios for the purpose of formulating social, economic and design strategies that provide optimized solutions that are humane and sustainable. Group projects develop and advocate visions for housing, urban planning, regeneration of natural ecologies and other sectors of the city. During spring break the class visits New Orleans, the focus of Cityscope in 2007." How awesome is that? Or what about this one: "An introduction to bargaining and negotiation in public, business, and legal settings. Combines a "hands-on" skill-building orientation with a look at pertinent social theory. Strategy, communications, ethics, and institutional influences are examined as they influence the ability of actors to analyze problems, negotiate agreements, and resolve disputes in social, organizational, and political circumstances characterized by interdependent interests." Or this: "Examines the evolving structure of cities, the dynamic processes that shape them, and the significance of a city's history for its future development. Develops the ability to read urban form as an interplay of natural processes and human purposes over time. Field assignments in Boston provide the opportunity to use, develop, and refine these concepts." Wow. How do I get in on that action? Better yet, how do I make a career out of any of them?
For the moment, I'll just have to sigh and pine for more education. But someday, hopefully soon, I'll be learning my little brain out.
