Have You Just Had A Storm In Your Area? Steps To Follow To Ensure Your Air Conditioner Is Safe After The Storm
Storms can wreck havoc on HVAC and air conditioning units. Flying debris can dent or ding the unit, flood waters can damage electrical wiring and mold can develop on the filters. If a major storm has blown through your air, here are a few tips you should follow to help ensure your HVAC or air conditioning unit is safe and in proper working condition:
Check for Signs of Flooding or Sitting Water
Water that has been sitting on your air conditioning unit can affect the electrical components in your air conditioning or HVAC unit. As such, following a storm, look for signs that there may have been flooding or water sitting against the unit. This may be mud or dirt lines or even the presence of existing water. If you suspect there was flooding or your AC unit sat in standing water, disconnect the unit from its power source and call an air conditioning repair company. Do not attempt to turn the unit on, as you can cause substantial and permanent damage if water is still sitting or the unit has been damaged by water.
Inspect Your Unit
Following a storm, take the time to thoroughly inspect as much of your unit as you can. Typically, you may only get a good look at the exterior. However, if you notice any dings, dents or pieces of metal separating, you want to have your unit repaired. These dings, dents, and areas of separation can impact the efficiency of your unit, let dust in or lead to rust. Additionally, if you are able to look, look at the fan blades in the unit. Occasionally, rocks and sticks can fly into your unit, hitting these blades. If you notice they are bent, they need to be replaced.
Run the Air Conditioner
Lastly, if everything appears to look all right with your air conditioning or HVAC unit, run it for a little bit. If it is cold, consider running the unit on the fan setting, rather than the cooling setting. Running the unit allows you to determine if it is working correctly and helps to remove any debris, such as mold spores, that may be sitting on the filter. If you hear any strange noises when you turn the unit on, such as squealing or grinding, shut it off and call an AC repair company.
If your HVAC or air conditioner has signs of damage after a storm, you will want to call in an air conditioning repair company as soon as possible. They can help to repair the damage, while also helping to prevent further problems from developing.
Contact a company like Weather Control Air Conditioning, Inc. for more information and assistance.

Earlier today, Elizabeth Bumiller of the evil New York Times reported:
"Senator John McCain said Wednesday that he would temporarily suspend his presidential campaign on Thursday to return to Washington to deal with the financial crisis and the $700 billion bailout package now before Congress."
Mavericky stuff there, lookin' all post-partisan. But wait, there's more!
"Mr. McCain said he told Senator Barack Obama that he was asking the Commission on Presidential Debates to postpone the debate scheduled for Friday night."
These debates are long-planned, long-prepared events. The financial crisis is here today, it'll be here tomorrow, and if we're lucky for the rest of our lives. McCain called this a matter of "patriotism;" by now we should know not to trust any Republican wearing a flag. Postponing the debate over the weekend is a shallow ploy to appear statesmanlike while diverting attention away from a floundering campaign. A McCain campaign source noted:
– McCain called Obama before he made the statement and told him he was going to suspend his campaign and move back to DC until the economic crisis has been figured out.
– McCain wants to create "a political free zone" until a deal is reached between now and Monday.
Given the campaign's inability to manage Palin properly, their decreasingly coherant blame-the-media strategy, and their recent Wall Street problem…
…it wasn't surprising to hear them calling for an urgent political moratorium. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell quotes the McCainiacs' hysteria:
"[McCain advisors] deny that there is a political calculation in this and say without action the country could slide into a Depression by Monday and added "we'll see 12 percent unemployment" if action is not completed."
Our economy has apparently sunk so low that a 90 minute Presidential debate on Friday night could double the unemployment rate. Ben Smith over at Politico questions the urgency, noting: "The only thing that's changed in the past 48 hours is the public polling."
And Obama? "No dice:"
"The debate is on," a senior Obama campaign official told ABC News.
Assuming the debate remains on, (and I'd put my $1 on it,) McCain will at least suspend his ads. What this has to do with anything is beyond me. Senator McCain isn't writing the ads himself, nor spending any personal time planning them instead of dealing with financial policy. This too-cute-by-half gambit reaffirms McCain's motive: A temporary stop to the campaign bleeding, rather than an actual solution to the financial crisis.
Obama could pull his ads as well, if he wants to match McCain charade for facade. (*I'm aware it don't rhyme.) Alternately, Obama could release a statement explaining that the campaigns themselves are absolutely central to America's financial future, while hammering on a "failure of conservatism" narrative. Friday's debate is on foreign policy, so let's expand it beyond war-gaming. Let's have a talk about free trade. Let's have a talk about the interconnectivity of international markets. Let's have a talk about blowing American taxpayer money to save foreign banks.
Bring. It. On.
Update: The reviews are in and they're horrible:
First poll results are trickling out. The very good Survey-USA asked:
"The first debate between John McCain and Barack Obama is scheduled to take place in two days. Should the debate be held as scheduled? Should the debate be held, but the format changed to focus on the economy? Or, should the debate be postponed?"
And the results:
Held as scheduled: 50%
Held with focus on economy: 36%
Postponed: 10%
Not sure: 4%
Nor are Americans buying the campaign suspension gimmick. Question:
"Is the right response to the turmoil on Wall Street to suspend the campaigns for president? To continue the campaigns as though there is no crisis? Or, to re-focus the campaigns with a unique emphasis on the turmoil on Wall Street?"
Suspend campaigns: 14%
Continue campaign: 31%
Re-focus the campaign: 48%
Not sure: 7%
My unscientific guess is that the wording may have pushed some people both towards the "re-focus" answer and away from the "continue" response; the former because it sounds nice ("unique emphasis") and the latter because it sounds dismissive and naive ("as though there is no crisis.") Consistant, though, is the fact that less than one in eight Americans are buying McCain's used car.
(S-USA polled 1,000 people, margin of error 3.2%. Crosstabs here.)

Plan your great room to take advantage of more than one focal point.
What great room doesn't have a fireplace? They're traditionally towering affairs with large stone, natural or manufactured, and a decorative mantel. The firebox itself is almost an afterthought, though a roaring wood fire commands attention. Fewer than half the fireplaces use inserts or some other high-efficiency appliance; the rest go all out for looks, not heat. Wood is the leading fuel, gas a distant second. Stoves, wood or gas, add a different look and scale. Fireplaces are more about the stonework working with the logs.
Some fireplaces combine with the window view, but more often they stand as their own eye-pleaser and heart-warmer. The fireplace view is the best vantage to appreciate the floor. Great rooms use every kind of floor and mix materials to define space, often with rugs to soften harder wood or stone.

Education Ministry Considers Regulating International Schools
by Hafsa Sabry
The Ministry of Education is going to bring in an Act to regulate international schools in the country. The decision has been taken because the Ministry has received many complaints about many international schools that they do not provide education for their students properly. These international schools follow London syllabuses that do not consist of history and mother language, the complainants have pointed out.
Through the proposed new Act, teaching history and Sinhala language will be made compulsory to all island-wide international schools. Some of the International schools do not teach Sinhala and Buddhism even though the majority of their children are Sinhala Buddhists. Even the other subjects, they teach in the English medium.
The Ministry of Education is to draft new regulations to bring international schools under the purview of the Ministry, Secretary of the Education Ministry W. M. Bandusena said.
National standards
They will focus on regulating the educational system of international schools and will bring them under the national standards thereby ensuring that all students have access to compulsory subjects such as Buddhism, History etc., he added.
The Ministry had also received several verbal and written complaints against several international schools that they abused children. In some of the cases, teachers were accused of instigating verbal, emotional and physical abuse of children.
However, according to authorities of some international schools, their schools faced many problems such as delay in receiving text books on time. Therefore, they have requested the ministry to monitor them. The Ministry has decided to regulate the international schools as a result of those requests and complaints.
The Ministry, however, will not attempt to control the administration of international schools but regulate them enabling them to provide quality education for their students. The bill will be drafted after having several discussions with the representatives of international schools, professionals and scholars, assured the Ministry.
The international schools will also be issued a licence. To receive the licence, they have to meet certain conditions which also include having qualified teachers, quality educational system, and proper system of ventilation for classrooms, among others. The number of students in a class will also be monitored.
Furthermore, the Ministry will monitor whether the international schools provide facilities such as libraries, play grounds etc. to encourage children to take part in extra-curricular activities.
If any international school has not acquired these requirements, it will get an extra period of time to upgrade their services. Those who fail to acquire these requirements will not be given licences or extended ones they already have.
Even though, Former Education Minister Bandula Gunawardane promised to implement regulations, the draft in this regard still seems to be at the discussion level. Present Minister of Education Akila Viraj Kariyawasam said the bill will be drafted and submitted to parliament for approval within six months with the assistance of scholars and professionals.
Even though former minister Bandula Gunawardane placed measures to regulate international schools, he has stated several times that regulating international schools was not possible because they have been formed as BOI projects or as organizations but not as educational institutions.
Former Minister
The Director for Private Schools Association told The Sunday Leader that the Ministry is gathering necessary information from all international schools and they will complete it very soon.
He also said new mechanisms will be introduced to regulate the schools registered as the Board of Investment (BOI) projects or as organizations, enabling the Ministry to regulate all international schools in equal terms.
"I cannot give an idea of what kind of regulations will be implemented as the process is still at discussion level. But, I can assure that the programme will focus on facilitating the international schools because the Ministry is responsible in monitoring the education of those who study at these schools," Bandusena said.
Some principals of international schools claimed that it is good for schools to follow rules and regulations that the Ministry is going to bring in to provide quality education for the children.
Meanwhile, The Sunday Leader contacted some of the international schools in Colombo to get their opinions on this issue,
Many of them said they welcome the decision of the Ministry that of regulating international schools, so they can take steps to provide proper education for children in future.
"We have been operating in Sri Lanka for over 30 years. We are adhering to the regulations of the Ministry. We teach religion, history, and the mother tongue as well. We have no objections to regulating our schools by the Ministry. In fact, it is a good plan," said the principal of Wycherley International School, Kingsley Jayasinghe.
"We warmly welcome the idea but are highly doubt its implementation as the matter has been there for several years now without any progress," he added.

The shiny plastic looks of the Zefal Pulse A2 cage may not be everyone's cup of electrolyte, but it holds on tight and weighs very little.
- Pros: Good performance for very little money
- Cons: Erm... it ain't carbon
What a stroke of luck I have a blue bicycle with an orange flash on the down tube, because that's the colour scheme of the Pulse A2 I was sent to try out. For a modern cage it looked surprisingly at home on my vintage steel bike. You can also choose from six other combinations including all-black, so there should be something there for you.
> Find your nearest dealer here
The product arrived mounted simply on a piece of card – add a half-star for good recycling consideration. Fitting is straightforward because the cage is designed so it's easy to reach the mount nuts with an Allen tool. The mounting bolts aren't included.
The 'Technopolymer' construction might not be as trendy as carbon and you may or may not like the shiny finish. On the other hand, it is very tough, lightweight and flexible enough to take any standard bottle. It's a one-piece moulding so there's very little to go wrong. The elastomer gripper is securely fixed. So far, the cage has resisted scratching and it doesn't have the habit of marking the bottle.
In use, I found the cage gripped securely on both large and small bottles. Getting them in and out proved easy, though the tenacious hold of the gripper might take you by surprise the first time you try to lift the bottle out.
> Read more road.cc reviews of bottle cages here
As for value, it's £4 less than the B2, a slightly higher-tech version which we gave four stars, while the GT Carbon cage costs more than four times the price and still weighs more. The Supacaz Fly is 4g lighter, but costs £16.99. Zefal make the Pulse at home in France, which makes the low price even more admirable.
A secure drink holder that's tough and lightweight, but costs very little

Make and model: Zefal Pulse A2 Cage
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Says Zefal: "With the Pulse A2, we offer top quality at the best price. With its sleek, crafted finish, it is lighter than the majority of carbon bottle cages, while...the thermoplastic clasp ensures a strong hold on the bottle."
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
From Zefal:
Technopolymer resin frame. Flexible thermoplastic clasp.
Colors: black and green / black and pink / black and red / grey and black / grey and cyan blue / dark blue and orange/ black and black
Made from tough nylon, essentially one piece with the addition of a silicone gripper. Well finished.
No dropped bottles, easy to get the bottle in and out, though the tenacious hold of the gripper may catch you out first time!
Seems more or less unbreakable.
No mounting bolts are included in that 26g total.
For the money it's hard to fault. I might buy some more of these!
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
My bottle stayed in the cage and, as any sportive rider will tell you, surprisingly many fail this simple test. The elastomer gripper does a good job at damping rattles too. It works well with a variety of bottle sizes. Getting the bottle in and out was satisfactorily easy.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Good grip, tough and – I thought – quite good looking. The price is insignificant and it's not made in the Far East.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Nothing really, but you may not like the shiny finish or the obviously plastic construction.
How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc?
Zefal's own B2 is a slightly higher-tech version which we gave four stars and costs £4 more. The entry-level GT Carbon cage costs more than four times the price and still weighs more.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Yes
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes
Use this box to explain your overall score
For me, the ability to hang on to a bottle and be easy to get the bottle in and out of the cage are the main qualities I look for, and the Zefal Pulse A2 scored well. The nylon construction, while not as trendy as carbon, is tough and light. It comes in a range of colours and it costs very little. All that adds up to an excellent in my book.

Slipped Disc or herniated Disc
Slipped Disc or herniated Disc is common problem in today's human life. Human spine is consist of a series of bones (vertebrae) stacked onto each other. Entire spine includes seven bones in the cervical spine, 12 in the thoracic spine, and five in the lumbar spine and sacrum and the coccyx at the lowest part. All These bones are separated by discs. These discs absorbs the shocks from daily life activities like twisting, jumping, walking, lifting etc. and protect the vertebrae.
Each disk is consisting of soft inner part and hard, circular outer ring. When we born, our spinal discs are usually composed of about 80% water. With the advancing of life, these discs may become increasingly dehydrated, dry and stiff. This is known as having degeneration of discs.
Sometimes injury and weakness may cause the inner part of the disc to expand through the outer ring. This phenomenon is known as a slipped, herniated, or prolapsed disc and this causes pain and discomfort. If the slipped disc compresses any of spinal nerves, this may cause pain in affected nerve, numbness or weakness in the leg. If this pain worsens continuously, patient may require surgery to remove or repair the slipped disc.
Symptoms of a slipped disc
Patient can have slipped disc from neck to lower back anywhere. The lower back is one of the more common areas for slipped discs. If a patient experience sudden, severe back pain, especially in the lower back region, it could be a slipped disc.
Following may be symptoms of slipped disc:
- Severe pain or numbness, commonly on one side of the body
- Pain spreading over the arms or legs.
- Pain sometimes with pins and needles experience.
- Pain that rises in night due to some certain movements.
- Pain that rises after sitting, standing or walking.
- Unexplained muscle weakness.
- Numbness and weakness in the buttocks, legs or feet.
Surgical and Non-Surgical Procedures for Slipped Disc Treatment
Surgical and Non-Surgical Procedures for Slipped Disc Treatment
Based on frequency and severity of pain and condition of patient several Non-Surgical Procedures are chosen by us.
There are several different options that our physicians may recommend, including:

Payload Studios' TerraTech 1.0 launched today after nearly 5 years of development. The team put together the launch trailer below to demonstrate exactly what to expect from their sandbox adventure game.
The developers describe TerraTech as an "off-world adventure where you create to your heart's content and then set out to conquer all before you." Payload says that "TerraTech is fundamentally an exploration and combat game. Procedurally generated worlds and an almost limitless array of vehicle design and customization make for a unique experience for every play through."
TerraTech first went live via a closed beta in summer of 2014. The title then went live with an open beta in November of that year. After "building on the amass of community feedback garnered over the course of [those] months", TerraTech hit Steam Early Access in February 2015.
Payload Studios isn't stopping at today's 1.0 release though. The developers still have great ambitions to flesh out their game. They've stated that their first priorities post launch is to enable hot swapping between tech snapshots, improve the core AI, institute a co-op creative mode, and enable full gamepad support for PC.
Looking further down the line, Payload has a slew of features they're hoping to implement. They're looking to design a co-op campaign mode, but note that they're "not promising a full implementation (it's very complicated!)".
In the short term, the devs are looking to add a map, an in-game Blockpedia, flexible Tech controls, personalities to AI, improvements to online multiplayer, cloud saves, graphical improvements and more. Payload even plays to design new blocks, additional environmental biomes, and new mission types and events. A list of medium and long term goals were published as well, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.
TerraTech 1.0 is live now for Xbox One and PC via Steam. The game will arrive for PlayStation 4 next week on August 14th.

The patchwork fields, picturesque hill towns and undulating topography of Umbria and Le Marche are classically Italian.
Umbria, christened the Green Heart of Italy, comprises expanses of gentle pastoral countryside that carpet wide river valleys and high mountains that tower above them. The region has more than its share of fabulous medieval hill towns, with Assisi, home to St Francis, being the best known. Umbria's real heart however is to be found in the smaller towns such as Spoleto and Spello and in the countless tiny rural villages and hamlets that dot the valleys and perch on the hillsides.
The hilly countryside of Southern Umbria rises to the peaks of Monti Sibillini towards the eastern fringes. The river Nera flows along the edge of the beautiful Valerina. In the west the pale tufa soil and the high ridges of Orvieto signal the land of the Etruscans.
Bordering Umbria to the east, Le Marche (march means border) occupies the part of central Italy that lies between the Appenine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea - an enchanting mix of old hill towns, hill country and sandy beaches. The region's historical peak was reached in the 15th century under Frederico da Montefeltro, whose court at Urbino became one of Europe's most important cultural centres. The hilly interior offers a real experience of unspoilt Italy.
Umbrians celebrate everything from Renaissance painters to Roman coins to olive oil. The province hosts more manifestazioni - festivals, concerts, parades, fairs, medieval tournaments etc than any other Italian region – and that means a lot of festivals!

Chanakya Life Introduction – History – Biography of Chanakya in Hindi
Chanakya was born in a very poor family. They also called 'Kautilya' due to their fierce and mysterious nature. His name was probably also 'Vishnugupta'. Chanakya received education at Takshshila, a great education center of that time. After 14 years of study, at the age of 26, he completed his education of sociology, politics and economics, and also did teaching work in Nalanda. He was a strong supporter of the monarchy They are also known as 'Meikivali of India'.
There is such a legend that once he was insulted for some reason in Magadha's court, then he had taken the initiative of the destruction of the Nand-dynasty. He sat Chandragupta Maurya on the throne and in fact fulfilled his vow and erased the Nand-Dynasty to establish the Maurya dynasty. Chanakya was also an ambassador of the country's integrity, so he gave the Greek invaders out of India by Chandragupta and gave freedom to the people suffering from the atrocities of Nand-dynasty.
Acharya Chanakya is considered to be the most intelligent patron of Indian history. He has rendered his political theories in the book, 'Economics', whose importance is still accepted. Many universities have also set 'Economics' of Kautilya (Chanakya) in its curriculum.
The genuine credit for the establishment of the Great Maurya dynasty goes to the wonderful diplomat Chanakya. Chanakya was a scholar, visionary and a strong man, and was a master of economics, politics and diplomacy.
Chanakya's name will remain immortal in history for the sake of politics, patriotism and people's work. Even after nearly 2300 years have passed, their pride has not been darned. Chanakya is a very strong and wonderful personality in the history of India. By creating the basis of their diplomacy, a very popular 'Protarakshasan' drama is also written in Sanskrit.

The USA Patriot Act was passed back in 2001, which had a backronym of "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001." The act helped strengthen security measures throughout our country, and increased the wait time at our airports.
There are many Patriots throughout American history, from the Patriot Act, to the New England Patriots and Pat Patriot, to Mel Gibson starring in The Patriot.
But there's also the Patriot League, which is home to not only the most American-named conference in the NCAA, but is also one of the most competitive conferences in college lacrosse. To recap last season, Colgate defeated Army in the Patriot League title game, while Navy won the regular season title. Loyola and Lehigh, two usually talented teams in the league, weren't the top teams last season, but were still competitive.
The Patriot League begins conference play this weekend with a total of four conference games, some of them should be exciting. But outside of that, there's also four big games featured ranked teams.
Bucknell @ Colgate – Noon (Patriot League Network)
I'll highlight this Patriot League game for the Weekend Watch. Bucknell has been impressive in three games so far in 2016, winning all three of them and even cracking in some of the polls. They're lead at attack by senior Sean Doyle, who leads the team in points with 11. and sophomores Will Sands and Connor O'Hara. All three of them have six goals on the season. Also watch for Tommy O'Connor and Thomas Flibotte at midfield, and freshman FOGO Jarett Witzal has a winning percentage of .707 on 58 draws this season.
The Raiders rebounded from a Valentine's Day loss against Michigan with a 11-4 win against Binghamton last week. The offense took at hit with the losses of Ryan Walsh and Matt Clarkson, so the Raiders are hoping that junior Peter Donato and freshman Sam Cleveland can keep their production up and help the Raiders defend their Patriot League championship. At least they still have junior Brandon Burke in goal.
The other Patriot League games on Saturday include Holy Cross @ Lehigh, Lafayette @ #6 Loyola, and #17 Navy @ Boston. All games will be streamed on the Patriot League Network.
#18 Georgetown @ #14 Towson – Noon (Towson Sports Network)
The Hoyas have one of the toughest schedules in the nation, and it doesn't get any easier after falling to Notre Dame last week in Georgia 12-7. Sophomore Stephen Quinzi had a goal and an assist, while junior Peter Conley had two goals, and freshman sensation "Damn" Daniel Bucaro had two goals and one assist in his debut. Hopefully he'll be back at it again with another multi-goal game this weekend. Sophomore goalie Nick Marrocco got pounded by the Fighting Irish offense, but stood tall in the cage.
Towson's coming off a 9-5 win over Mount St. Mary's last week. In two games this year, the Tigers have limited their opponents to only seven goals. Granted, they've played Mercer and the Mount, but Georgetown will give them a test. Senior goalie Tyler White will play a pivotal role in this game for the Tigers.
#5 Maryland @ #7 Yale – 1 PM (ESPN3)
When these two teams met last year, Yale defeated the Terps 10-6, highlighted by Charlie Raffa's struggles at the faceoff "x" and a stout Yale defense. They met again in the NCAA First Round at College Park, with the Terps edging the Bulldogs 8-7.
Without Conrad Oberbeck, the Bulldogs cruised to a 17-7 victory over UMass Lowell last week. Ben Reaves had four goals and three assists, while Jeff Cimbalista had a goal and three assists, and freshman Brendan Rooney recorded a hat-trick.
Maryland started their season a week later than expected with a tight 15-10 win over High Point. Bryan Cole had three goals and four assists, while Colin Heacock and Dylan Maltz each had hat-tricks, and Matt Rambo added a pair of goals. Add Pat Young and Henry West amongst other contributors of offense, along with Kyle Bernlohr in net, and you have a team that could contend for a National Championship, although we've said this a ton of times and Maryland has yet to win a championship.
#9 Brown @ #20 Stony Brook – 1 PM (AmericaEast.TV)
Unlike last season, where Brown didn't really have any tough games prior to Ivy League play, they take on a Stony Brook team in a matchup of talented scorers. We all know what Dylan Molloy can do, after scoring 92 points a year ago. Last week against Quinnipiac, he scored five goals. Also look out for linemates Kylor Bellistri and Henry Blynn, along with LSM Larken Kemp in transition.
The other top scorer is senior Brody Eastwood, who scored 61 goals last season. Eastwood, who doesn't have 111 point scorer Mike Rooney anymore, scored seven goals and three assists in wins against Sacred Heart and St. John's this year. Challen Rogers had three goals and six assists, and Alex Corpolongo has six goals. The Sea Wolves also upgraded their defense in the form of goaltender Zach Oliveri.
Princeton @ #13 Hofstra – 3 PM (Pride Productions)
What an upset for the Pride, who took down North Carolina 10-5 last week down in Chapel Hill. Senior Sam Llinares had half of the team's goals with five tallies, while former JUCO Attackman of the Year Josh Byrne bursted onto the scene for the Pride with four goals and two assists. Sophomore Dylan Alderman had the other goal. Sophomore goalie Jack Concannon had 11 saves on the day, including six in the final frame. Can they carry that success over to their matchup against the Tigers?
Princeton breezed by NJIT 21-4 last week, led by Zach Currier's four goals and three assists, and Riley Thompson's hat-trick and pair of assists. The losses of Mike MacDonald and Kip Orban will hurt this Tiger team, but seeing what freshmen Dawson McKenzie, Charlie Durbin, and Emmet Cordrey could do might ease the pain of two of Princeton's top players from last year. But it won't be easy with a brutal schedule from here on out.
#10 North Carolina @ #8 Johns Hopkins – Noon (ESPNU)
As much as I want to pick the Maryland-Yale game as my Game of the Week, this game is going to be on TV, so that's the gamechanger right there. UNC returned to reality after crushing Michigan and Furman in their first two games, falling to Hofstra 10-5. Sophomore Luke Goldstock had only a goal and an assist in a very bad game for all of the Tar Heels. They lost Jimmy Bitter and Joey Sankey at attack, and sophomore goalie Brian Balkam will face another test in the Hopkins offense this week. No Kieran Burke doesn't help the Heels either.
Hopkins fell yet again to Loyola 9-8 to fall to 1-1, although they could be either 2-0 or 0-2 at this point. They had a tough game against Navy a few weeks ago to start the season, and they fell early to Loyola before mounting a comeback that fell short. We know about Ryan Brown and Shack Stanwick at attack, but their midfield needs help with the losses of Connor Reed and Joel Tinney. John Crawley is their best midfielder by far, and the Jays need to see guys like Holden Cattoni, Patrick Fraser, or even freshman Drew Supinski step up their game.
UMBC @ Ohio State – 5 PM (ESPNU)
Drexel @ #15 Albany – Noon (AmericaEast.TV)
Villanova @ #12 Penn State – 1 PM
Bryant @ Hartford – 1 PM (AmericaEast.TV)
Marquette @ Richmond – 1 PM (RichmondSpiders.com – $)
#4 Tampa @ #1 Limestone – 1 PM (Division II)
#5 NYIT @ #8 Seton Hill – Noon (Division II)
#6 Lake Erie @ #15 Mercy – Noon (Division II)
#9 Adelphi @ #7 LIU Post – Noon (Division II)
#2 Salisbury @ #5 Gettysburg – 1 PM (Division III)
#3 RIT @ #7 Stevenson – 7 PM (Division III)
#6 Lynchburg @ #17 Cabrini – 1 PM (Division III)
Penn @ #11 Virginia – 1 PM (VirginiaSports.com – $)
Army @ #3 Syracuse – 4 PM (ESPN3)
Definitely spend some time and watch the Division II and Division III games, four games featuring top ten games in Division II (which is ridiculous), and three really good Division III games featuring ranked teams, including a top five showdown.

Happy Jo McLarence and Sarah Gray are both celebrating after landing their perfect job as receptionists at the Greens Health & Fitness centre in Gosforth.
Jo, aged 22, from Heaton, a full-time classroom assistant in Blyth, was looking for a flexible second job to support her daytime role and was delighted to find work in an environment she already spends much of her spare time - her local health and fitness club.
"My new role is ideal - it fits in perfectly with my hectic lifestyle.
"Like a lot of people I require a second job and was looking for something a little different. Working in a fitness club is a complete change from my day job.
"Whilst I enjoy working with the children, it is good to have another aspect to my life and my role as receptionist is very sociable."
Sarah, aged 21, also from Heaton, is an undergraduate studying language at Northumbria University.
Formerly a receptionist at a sports centre in Newton Aycliffe and a lifeguard at Newcastle's City Pool, Sarah is no stranger to the fitness industry and was keen to continue her work in the sector.
Ian Donley, general manager at Greens, said: "The fitness industry offers a wealth of opportunities for people who are searching for work to accommodate their changing lifestyle needs.
"Many people are now looking to the service sector to offer flexible working patterns and while a lot of people associate fitness clubs with fitness staff, the fact is over two thirds of our staff work in administrative, sales, finance and catering."
He added: "We're delighted to welcome Jo and Sarah to Greens and I'm sure they will form a valuable part of the reception team."

24 December
(† 403)
Little is known of St. Delphinus before his elevation to the episcopate. He assisted at the Council of Saragossa, in 330, in which the Priscillianists were condemned, and also at the Council of Bordeaux, which condemned the same schismatics.
He baptized St. Paulerius in 388, and the latter, in several letters, speaks of him as his father and his master. St. Delphinus died on the 24th of December, 403.
Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler, Benziger Bros. ed. [1894]

I was happy when I tried a piece of this Italian Lemon Pound Cake firs time. I felt very soft and moist cake with awesome lemon flavour. To make it we used fresh lemon juice and zest of two lemons. We got a beautiful cake for any holiday or just for a weekend. I assure that a piece of this cake will make your day better.
Commenting this post, one girl asked me to write a list of ingredients needed for this recipe. Editing this post, I want to correct my mistakes. I want to show you how your opinion is important for me. That's because I add to this recipe some corrections. So, the list of ingredients you need :
All-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, sour cream, lemon juice, ginger, minced, zest of 2 lemons, vanilla.
Actually, you don't need to buy something extra for this recipe at the shops. All ingredients are available and a lot of them you can find in the fridge, the rest of them try to find at another place of your kitchen:)
P.S. The next problem of a lot of people was need for recipe and some difficulties connected with finding it. So, to make easy your search of the link, please, click here to find the recipe.
As you can see, I like lemon desserts. Recently I was baking amazing Creamy Lemon Cheesecake Crumb Bars. Ingredients you need for this recipe is aproximately the same, but taste of these cakes are absolutely different, but they are both very yummy.
So, you will like this cake, no matter where you are. My kids love it so much. They are waiting for the day when we make it together. It's one of first creations made by my little dear daughters. You must try it!

Dr Frances Garrad-Cole was one of the very first Teaching and Scholarship lecturers at Bangor University. She has been a key figure in raising the profile of teaching excellence across the institution. As a Teaching and Learning Developer in the Centre for Enhanced Learning and Teaching, Fran holds one of only five prestigious posts designed to share and inspire excellent teaching and student support across the University.
Fran has worked on projects to improve retention and progression rates across the University and has recently piloted a summer school for supplementary work. Fran not only cares about students' learning experiences but also about the critical real-world impact of academia and research.
As Deputy Head of School for Impact, she is in a unique position to support impact activities from both a teaching and research excellence perspective.
Fran has held many key posts during her time at Bangor Psychology including Senior Tutor (pastoral care), Disabilities Officer, and Assessment Director.
Impact of work
Fran is known for 'getting things done' and, in recognition of the need for more effective systems of providing and monitoring pastoral care Fran has devised and implemented an online Tutor App. The success of this was so impressive that it has now been adopted across the University as an example of best practice.
Further afield, Fran has led and developed the successful Psychology Oral Presentation Practice Sessions (POPPS) scheme, which gives students opportunity to hone their public speaking skills in supportive, peer-led environments. Having adapted this scheme for High School pupils she has now pioneered the Bangor Oral Presentation Scheme at local high schools.
Plans for the future
Never one to stand still, Fran is continuing her work in empowering students to achieve more than they thought possible and will be delivering a revolutionary new marathon running module in January 2017. This module will teach principles of positive psychology, self-efficacy and empowerment to 'non-runner' students and directly apply those theories to the challenge of running 26.2 miles. The module will culminate in Fran and all 20 of her Year 3 students running a marathon for the first time!
Senior Lecturer/Teaching and Learning Development Leader.

Adding Standard Potentials
Why do we have to convert the standard potential of half reactions into delta G and add them to convert it to the total standard potential of the reaction. Ex: U^4+ + 4e- ---> U. Why can't I just add the standard potentials of U^4+ e- ---> U^3+ and U^3+ + 3 e- ----> U? Thank you!

Re: Adding Standard Potentials
Cell potential is an intensive property and is not a state function. Thus, we cannot just simply add the values together and apply a method similar to that of Hess's Law for cell potential. Therefore, since, delta G is a state function, we can use the equation to find the change in Gibbs free energy for that particular reaction, use the same equation for the other reaction, and add the two values to get the change in Gibbs free energy for the desired reaction. From this value and the previous equation, we can evaluate for the total standard potential of the reaction.

What would you guess is the one thing I have never traveled without …
- My cell phone? Well, no. I was a backpacking gal long before people carried cellphones. I have an addiction problem now, but it hasn't always been this way.
- My passport? Not always. It's only recently that Canadians need to carry a passport to enter into the United States.
- A companion? Nope. I travel alone all the time.
The answer is medical travel insurance. This post is sponsored by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), but it is a topic I hope you will give some serious consideration because even as a carefree university student, I quickly learned how critical having medical travel insurance can be when a group of us all had to pool our meager funds together so that a friend could see a doctor and get some much needed medication when we were on spring break.
We Canucks love to drive into the USA for our spring break vacations to catch some sun. But unlike in Canada, where a medical need is covered by our public health care system, a minor sickness in the States can run you a few hundred dollars (which seemed like a fortune when I was a broke student), while a serious car accident resulting in surgery or life-saving interventions could put your family in debt for years.
To date, I've been fortunate not to have had to use travel medical insurance for anything too serious. I had a fall on a hike that resulted in a cracked rib or two in Australia, and another time I needed to go to a hospital in Portugal for a shot because I was having a major allergic reaction.
But if I was outside of Canada and had a serious accident? I know that my husband and my extended family would do everything possible to ensure I had the best medical care. However, just the thought of putting my family's finances at risk like that is enough to make me shudder.
So that's the one thing I never travel without: travel medical insurance. Same goes for Hubby and the kids. Anytime we travel outside of Canada– and that includes our frequent weekend trips across the US border for skiing, hiking, or just some great shopping – we make sure we have insurance. For us, it's a small price to pay for peace of mind.
If you don't have medical travel insurance with your job or you want to "top up" to ensure you have premium coverage, you can get an online quote from CAA by clicking here.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Connecticut Department of Public Health
January 21, 2011 Contact: William Gerrish
(860) 509-7270
Hartford — During extreme cold weather conditions, people should take precautions against hypothermia and frostbite, according to officials at the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH).
It is important to know the wind chill before going out because most hypothermia and frostbite cases occur when the temperature drops and the wind increases, said to state health officials.
Temperatures in the state over the weekend are expected to fall to below zero in some areas, and the wind chill can make it feel much colder. The wind chill index indicates the severity of the weather in terms of the potential loss of body heat.
With bitter winter cold expected to arrive this weekend, Governor Dannel P. Malloy directed the Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) and the Department of Social Services (DSS) to coordinate with 2-1-1 and Connecticut's network of shelters to ensure that the state's most vulnerable people are protected. In addition to coordinating with 2-1-1, the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness and any short-term shelters, DSS will be working with existing vendors to resolve any transportation issues involving people needing shelter.
Hypothermia develops when an individual is exposed to severe cold without sufficient protection. The condition, which is potentially fatal, occurs when the body's core temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Victims of hypothermia are often (1) elderly people with inadequate food, clothing, or heating; (2) babies sleeping in cold bedrooms; (3) people who remain outdoors for long periods—the homeless, hikers, hunters, etc.; and (4) people who drink alcohol or use illicit drugs.
Observable symptoms in someone developing hypothermia include: poor coordination, slurred speech, irrationality, blueness or puffiness of the skin, dilation of the pupils, decreased respiratory rate, and a weak or irregular pulse.
Avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages as they cause your body to lose heat more rapidly. While alcoholic beverages may make the drinker feel warm, they actually interfere with the body's ability to regulate temperature. Someone showing signs of mental confusion could be mistaken for being intoxicated when he or she is actually exhibiting symptoms of hypothermia.
Dressing warmly, eating enough food, drinking plenty of fluids and staying as active as possible are good ways to maintain body heat and avoid hypothermia.
Frostbite is another hazard experienced in extremely cold weather. The onset of frostbite is usually characterized by a sharp pricking sensation and numbness but body tissue may freeze without awareness of numbness or pain. Just before freezing, the skin turns a bright red. Frostbite most commonly affects the feet. If frostbite occurs, running warm water over the affected area is the recommended treatment (if re-exposure is not expected).
Proper clothing is essential to protection from frostbite. Multiple layers of clothing are better than just one, because they provide better insulation and can be removed or added as needed. The key is to make certain there are no areas of skin exposed to the frigid air.
Children who want to go out and play in the snow should periodically come indoors to warm up and dry off. Dress them with layers of clothing and be sure to cover ears, fingers and toes. Parents should avoid taking infants outdoors when the temperature is below freezing because infants lose body heat quickly.
People who must work outdoors in extreme cold weather should try to do so during the warmest part of the day. Take frequent short breaks in warm dry shelters to allow your body to warm up while working in the cold. Select the proper clothing for cold, wet, and windy conditions. Layer clothing to adjust for changing temperatures. Wear a hat and gloves, as well as thermal underwear with a material such as polypropylene to help wick the moisture away from the skin. If you are working in the cold and notice signs of cold injury, i.e. numbness and pain in extremities, stop working and get to a warm shelter to warm your body up. Frostbite is a medical emergency. If frostbite has set in, get medical treatment immediately.

David Williams
David Williams was born in Tarrytown, New York in 1759, and worked as a farmer, but in 1775 he joined the Continental Army after his role in the Boston Tea Party. He served under General Richard Montgomery, taking part in many campaigns until his feet were so badly frozen that he had to retire from his military service. He is most well known for his role in the capture of British officer John Andre in Tarrytown [Patriots Park] and received the "Fidelity Medallion" from George Washington for his service. Williams later died in 1836 and is buried in the Old Stone Fort Cemetery in Schoharie, New York.

MILWAUKEE -- Raphael Calhoun entered a plea of not guilty on Tuesday, Aug. 14 to a charge of substantial battery.
Calhoun, 28, is accused of punching a female employee in the face at a George Webb restaurant near 21st and Mitchell on July 28.
Prosecutors say the convicted felon was dining at the George Webb restaurant near 21st and Mitchell around 1 a.m., when he complained his order was taking too long.
Waitress Miranda Schaefer and manager Veronica Kaehler told FOX6 Calhoun then followed them into the kitchen and punched unsuspecting Kaehler in the face. The entire incident was caught on surveillance cameras.
"My arm actually caught the fall from me going into the grill," said Kaehler.
Schaefer says Calhoun then continued to come toward her, only backing away once she pulled out a handgun.
A preliminary hearing was held Tuesday. The court then found probable cause and bound Calhoun over for trial. He is scheduled to be back in court on Aug. 27.

What happens when you allow your four year old to watch and listen in on politics?
Very clearly my son isn't overly involved in politics, or involved at all for that matter. However, with the election coming up and with constant news coverage on the candidates he has become a bit educated on who is who.
I don't want to get into discussing too much here about my own personal political preferences but I won't shy away from admitting to being very pro Senator Sanders. Tonight at dinner time, for whatever reason, my son started talking about Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.
"Did you know, Bernie Sanders is talking to the people?" he asked. As a Sanders supporter I was proud of the way he worded that, talking to the people is exactly what he's doing. He then followed up with this…
"Donald Trump gets stuck in bagels… Oh my geez, that's a crazy thing."
One can't be sure what he meant by that, but I'll tell you that I asked to be certain that's what he said and he said yes.
Cue the giggles.

Two of Google's most successful hardware partners of late are also the first to unveil their latest collaborations with the Mountain View monolith — this time on their respective debut smart watches running the just-announced Android Wear platform.
LG announced its upcoming G Watch and Motorola previewed the Moto 360 in coordinated announcements timed to coincide with Google's introduction of Android Wear on Tuesday.
Very little is known about the actual specs of either watch, but Motorola released video and some glamour shots of the Moto 360 touting its round face that's less bulky than existing smart watches on the market now, like the Pebble or Samsung Galaxy Gear. However, LG's G Watch has a rectangular face like the Pebble and Gear.
LG has made the last two Google Nexus phones and the Google Play edition G Pad tablet, while Motorola has had an even closer relationship with Google as a division of the company for the past few years. Although it's now in the process of being sold to Lenovo. Motorola's Moto X also has a touchless control feature that's very similar to the way Android Wear can be controlled either via voice commands or touch.
LG says the G Watch will be compatible with a wide variety of Android smartphones. Motorola has made no such promises just yet about the Moto 360, although it is planning to share more details with reporters during a special Google Hangout on Wednesday.
More details on Android Wear and what both watches will be capable of in the software department can be found in my earlier post on the topic.
Motorola says to expect the Moto 360 to become available this summer, while the LG G Watch is said to be coming sometime in the second quarter of this year.
In addition to Motorola and LG, Google says it is working on other watches with Asus, HTC, Samsung, watchmaker Fossil and chip makers Broadcom, Imagination, Intel, Mediatek and Qualcomm.

Lung Disease Support Group Inc.
Support is just a breath away.
Although it was a difficult decision, as of March 31, 2019 the Lung Disease Support Group Inc. (LDSG Inc.) will be ceasing operating and will be dissolving. Therefore, there will no longer be any meetings. On behalf of the board, we thank you for all of your support over the years, and the opportunities we have had to provide support to people.
Additionally, our former members have decided to continue supporting one another in a new informal social group. At this time it is unsure of what direction they will take, but they will still be supporting each other, just without any of the formal structure, corporate governance, or requirements of a charitable organization. So although LDSG Inc. will be gone, rest assured, that to some extent, its memory will live on, and that support will still be just a breath away.

If untreated, skin blisters and cracks caused by Athlete's Foot can cause serious bacterial infections. The treatment of Athlete's Foot depends on the type and extent of the fungal infection, so it is important to consult our practice before choosing a therapy.
Athlete's Foot can usually be treated with antifungal creams. Re-infection is common, so it is important to continue the therapy as prescribed, even if the fungus appears to have gone away. Lasting cases of Athlete's Foot may require foot soaks before applying antifungal creams. Severe infections that appear suddenly (acute) usually respond well to treatment. Toenail infections that develop with Athlete's Foot tend to be more difficult to cure than fungal skin infections.

A night of silly comic entertainment. Two guys, one microphone, and a roadie dressed like a clown. Quite amusing and enjoyable – this show will keep your lips curled into a grin start to finish. That said, while easily confused for a family-friendly show, it isn't quite. With a clown and the main performers dressed in red shirts and suspenders (mime-garb) – one might feel safe to invite the kids. There were kids at this performance, but there were also cusswords – and not tame ones neither – the real things (perhaps 10 occasions). But, what really pops a possible PG-rating is a scene that flips the bird over and over again. It's five minutes of grown men flashing middle fingers like teenagers. The first flash has an edginess that is a bit shocking for the otherwise mostly tame duo – but the bit milks the fingers far too long. The two also beat a few other gags to death. And while they never quite crack audiences into uncontrollable belly laughs they are nearly always amusing, likeable and clever.
Their 6-foot plus, silent clown roadie has a wonderful stage presence and communicates strong attitude despite a sack mask over the head. The duo keeps their show feeling fresh and involves the audience on more than one occasion. They repartee is warm, easy-going and tight. They creatively use lighting and a simple 4x8 foot board to fill an otherwise set-less stage. The bulk of the show relies on vocal sound effects and mime-like fooling around. Their funniest bit mocks miming itself.
