On November 8, three groups of tea party organizers began a cross-country tour to raise awareness of the California farmers' water crisis, which is a classic case of big government disrupting the lives of its citizens. But rather than merely protest proposed legislation, these tea partiers intend to raise money for the victims suffering from overbearing regulation.
The Tea Party Express is a cross-country fundraising exercise for a Republican-aligned PAC. But this effort? It hopes to send aid to California farmers who need help heading into the winter and holiday season. It also aims to bring hope to farmers whose livelihoods have been destroyed and who live in an area with one of the highest suicide rates in the country.
The Farmer Relief and Freedom Relay will take two weeks to reach Fresno for a large rally, stopping along the way in places like Sioux Falls and Lexington, Kentucky. Though winter is fast approaching — or has already made an appearance — in these areas, these brave and kind souls are determined to aid the farmers.
Each tour group will have a California farmer with them to speak of the current situation. Each group will also include a featured speaker who will be along for the entire ride. Groups will travel in SUVs to handle any road conditions. One route — which I am taking — will travel roughly 4,000 miles across the top of the country and down the West Coast.
Tour plans have been greeted enthusiastically by activists across the country, especially in remote places that generally do not receive much attention. If citizens want the tour to show up in their town, the organizers make as much effort as possible to add the tour stop.
Tea Party Patriots and Saving the Valley That Hope Forgot are behind this "call to action." The basic idea:
In actions that can only be described as lacking the most basic humanity, the U.S. Congress has turned off the water to Central Valley farmers, leaving their land dry, their fields fallow, and their dreams and ambitions scattered in the dust. Tens of thousands are unemployed and waiting in food lines. The federal government is proving once again that the government is the problem, not the solution.
The rally will use the Twitter hashtag "#FRFR." It also has a Twitter account for tweeting, blogging, and filming the tour's progress across the country.
Vehicles are being rented in order to save costs. The round-trip for the northern route will cover approximately 8,000 miles.
Statements like these will inspire the long journey:
Thanks to the government's misuse of the Federal Endangered Species Act and two subsequent biological opinions, the vast majority of water that normally flows to California's West-Side Central Valley farmers has been shut off DURING THE GROWING SEASON in order to protect a 2" baitfish called the Delta Smelt and a handful of other marine species.
Starting in 2009 and continuing on thereafter — through the enactment of the San Joaquin River Settlement — water for struggling farms on the East-Side of the Valley will be diverted to restore a long lost salmon run (one that experts say will not reestablish).
THE RESULT is a growing Government created Dust Bowl, 40+% unemployment for surrounding communities, bankruptcy for countless farmers and their families, higher food prices nationally, a greater dependence on foreign produce, and a dangerous precedent for land owners NATIONWIDE.
I have volunteered to both drive and speak on the tour and will be traveling from Maine to Fresno and back. I will be blogging as I go along. Ultimately, the aim is to make fellow Americans aware of the tremendous suffering in their own nation due to the efforts of extremist environmentalists and an uncaring bureaucracy — the same government that now wants to run your health care and tell you how you must live your life to "save the planet."
Now, it's the Central Valley of California. Who will suffer next?

Luqman counselled his son,

Give thanks to Me and to your parents- all will return to Me.
If they strive to make you associate with Me anything about which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them.
Yet keep their company in this life according to what is right, and follow the path of those who turn to Me.
You will all return to Me in the end, and I will tell you everything that you have done.

Employment Report: 539K Jobs Lost, 8.9% Unemployment Rate
From the BLS:
Nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline in April (-539,000), and the unemployment rate rose from 8.5 to 8.9 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Since the recession began in December 2007, 5.7 million jobs have been lost. In April, job losses were large and widespread across nearly all major private-sector industries. Overall, private sector employment fell by 611,000.Click on graph for larger image.
This graph shows the unemployment rate and the year over year change in employment vs. recessions.
Nonfarm payrolls decreased by 539,000 in April. March job losses were revised to
699,000. The economy has lost almost 4 million jobs over the last 6 months, and over 5.7 million jobs during the 16 consecutive months of job losses.
The unemployment rate rose to 8.9 percent; the highest level since 1983.
Year over year employment is strongly negative (there were 5.2 million fewer Americans employed in Apr 2009 than in Apr 2008).
The second graph shows the unemployment rate compared to the stress test economic scenarios on a quarterly basis as provided by the regulators to the banks (no link).
This is a quarterly forecast: in Q1 the unemployment rate was higher than the "more adverse" scenario. For Q2, April is already higher than the "more adverse" scenario, and will probably rise further in May and June.
Note also that the unemployment rate has already reached the peak of the "baseline scenario".
This is another weak employment report ... more soon.

Ravi retained in ICC elite panel
Dubai, June 8: India's Sundaram Ravi was retained in the Intertiol Cricket Council (ICC) elite panel as the world body on Wednesday announced an unchanged panel of 12 umpires for the 2016-17 season after the annual review and selection process.
The announcement was made by the selection panel headed by chairman Geoff Allardice. The other members of the panel include chief match referee Ranjan Madugalle, ex-England player-turned commentator David Lloyd and former India captain and intertiol umpire Srinivas Venkataraghavan.
Apart from Ravi, Aleem Dar, Kumar Dharmase, Marais Erasmus, Chris Gaffaney, Ian Gould, Richard Illingworth, Richard Kettleborough, Nigel Llong, Bruce Oxenford, Paul Reiffel and Rod Tucker are the other umpires in the elite panel. The decision to retain the panel was prompted by the impressive performance of the umpires across all the formats in the previous season which witnessed the correct decision percentage rise to 95.6 per cent in 220 matches from 94 per cent in 2014-2015. Confirming the elite panel for the 2016-2017 season, Allardice said, "The elite panel has had an outstanding 12 months. Based on the individual performances of each umpire, as well as their ability to work together as a group, the selectors have decided that the same 12 umpires deserve to be rewarded with appointment to the elite panel for 2016-2017."

Karachi: The district and sessions judge (DSJ) Malir ordered the registeration of an FIR against a policeman, Shakil Talib, and an inmate for the alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old-boy, Zeeshan Butt.
The judge also ordered an FIR against police officials who registered fake FIRs against the teenager.
The inquiry officer, Judicial Magistrate (JM) Ayub Bhatti, submitted a report to DSJ Ghulam Mustafa Memon, confirming that the boy was sexually assaulted. He also submitted the medical examination report and the statements of the jail superintendent who deposed before the court.
The boy's mother had filed a petition under Section 22-A of the Criminal Procedure Code in the court of the DSJ, saying that her son was tortured and sexually abused by jail officials, and a number of cases relating to robbery and a shootout with the police were falsely registered against him. She requested the court to order the registration of an FIR against those responsible for the assault.
The DSJ had then constituted a judicial inquiry, appointing JM Malir Ayub Bhatti as the inquiry officer. On Thursday, JM Bhatti submitted a report confirming that the boy was sexually assaulted, after which the DSJ ordered the registration of an FIR against jail officials and an inmate.
The judge also ordered the cancellation of all cases registered against the teenager, and also ordered for registering FIRs against officials who had previously registered the fake FIRs. –SB
SHC issues notices to DAG, AG: The Sindh High Court (SHC) issued notices on Thursday to the deputy attorney general (DAG) and the advocate general (AG) Sindh on a petition seeking environmental-friendly mills in Thatta.
The petitioner, Dr Ghulam Hyder Shah, submitted that flour and rice mills situated near Thatta were creating a dusty and smoky environment and people residing in nearby areas were complaining of allergies and asthma due to this.
He submitted that the dusty and smoky environment was also creating health hazards not only for labourers but also for wildlife, which also suffered due to the discharge of effluent into ponds and drains.
The petitioner requested the court to direct the respondent mills to obtain no-objection certificates from the Environment Protection Agency and install filters in the mills to stop pollution.
He also sought an injunction from the court, restraining mills from operating without filters. The SHC's division bench, headed by Justice Gulzar Ahmed, after preliminary hearing of the petition, issued notices to the DAG and the AG Sindh and called for their comments.
Forex scam case: The SHC adjourned the hearing of the bail applications of the directors of a money exchange company for want of time. The court fixed October 22 for hearing the petitions.
Hanif Kali along with Abdul Munaf Kalia and Javed Khanani were facing charges of illegally transferring money, evading import duties and taxes and causing a colossal loss to the government in respect of foreign exchange.
The applicants' counsel, Rasheed A. Razvi, submitted that no evidence of money laundering had been established against the defendants who had been detained for the last 10 months. He submitted that the trial court denied bail to them despite the fact that no direct complaint was filed against them by the State Bank of Pakistan.
In an identical case, the SHC also issued notices for October 22 to the DAG and the FIA on a bail petition of Atif Aziz Polani.

Having access to medical knowledge can change the world. Here in the United States, and in other developed nations, we are blessed enough to be able to get to that information. We have the Internet and friends who are doctors or nurses, and we remember the lessons learned during elementary school: wash your hands frequently, don't drink water from possibly contaminated areas, cover your mouth when you cough, and many more.
Not all places have that luxury. There is only one doctor for every 25,000 people in Rwanda, for example. Those people living in rural areas are almost certainly out of luck when it comes to finding medical care—they are too far away from medical facilities, and the cost of care is just too much for most.
But CIOs Without Borders is a program that's bringing the simple gift of medical knowledge to these types of people—all across the world. It's "a global, non-profit organization that uses technology to provide education, healthcare and infrastructure services to underserved areas around the world."
Atefeh Riazi of NYCHA is the founder and Executive Director of CIOs Without Borders. She started the organization after traveling the world as a CIO and realizing that access to medical benefits and services was extremely limited. People were regularly suffering from simple illnesses and diseases—for which we have the medical technology to cure or prevent.
Through CIOs Without Borders, she hopes to bring technology to these countries and help alleviate some of their medical struggles. This is the type of education that can, quite literally, change the world.

The maintenance is not that difficult to handle.
Please read our full VacMaster VP215 Chamber Vacuum Sealer Review below
The Vacmaster VP215 is good with the design though your machine is not going to a competition for winning the best design prize. This machine looks the same as a typical chamber vacuum sealer which is big, built with heavy stainless steel, and a control panel on the front.
Basically, Vacmaster VP215 is designed for kitchen use and that is more important than fancy design. What you really need to watch out for is performance and sealing quality.
If you are determined to buy a Vacmaster VP215, you have to make some space in your kitchen to set up this machine. This machine is not like a typical vacuum sealer which you can store on the shelf or a kitchen drawer and get back out when you need it. The Vacmaster vp215 chamber vacuum sealer is measured 20″L x 14″W x 15″H. But you have to keep in mind that, when you set up this on a table or rack you should make enough space above because when you open the lid the height will increase 24".
If you think you can use the Vacmaster VP215 for heavy commercial use or you are a Hunters or fishermen and need to seal a large amount of meat or fish regularly I would say please see the chamber and sealing bar measurement before buying this product.

Because of its transparent look, you can have a clear view inside of the vacuum chamber. For that reason, you can observe the whole vacuum process.
There is a strong looking lock handle incorporated in Vacmaster VP215. But you have to be careful to use this feature. You can not use the lock when the lid down during operation. If you do so you will get an F1 error displayed on the screen. To get rid of this error you have to power off the whole machine and start again which is not cool stuff while you are busy with food sealing. The locking handle can be used while you are storing the machine.
The Vacmaster VP215 has a digital control panel and easy to operate. The control panel has a lot of features. It includes an analog pressure dial measured in megapascals (MPa), indicator lights that will update you when your machine is vacuuming, Sealing. It has also a small display screen which will show the cycle time and also any error codes.

However, Elizabeth of York continued, I think, to be regarded as a princess and you're right- following the death of her brothers she had a very good claim to the throne in her own right. I think the problem in her inheriting would have been the same as that Henry VIII faced some years later- the only precedent for a female ruler in England had been Matilda (back in the 12th century) and that had resulted in 11 years of civil war between her and her cousin Stephen. Henry Tudor, via his mother, Margaret Beaufort, basically made a deal with Elizabeth's mother that he would marry Elizabeth if he succeeded in claiming the throne- thus conveniently uniting the two warring houses. When he became Henry VII he kept his promise. He always stressed that he was king in his own right- not via Elizabeth- but I think honour was basically satisfied.Merlinhttps://email@example.com

Product Code No.: 1203-SFFMedium: Acrylic
A beautiful special print of the original acrylic painting of the winter sea by Marina Syntelis (b.1975)!
In Marina's words ""I'll never forget the day I painted it (it was painted almost in a single day!). I love windy, cloudy days which are not common where I live. Southern winds are my favourite as they form beautiful waves near my home. On such windy days, I don't work in the studio. I drive to the beach just to breathe in those waves. I also take photos. As the car was running, I failed to take a photo of a view I found stunning. I was disappointed but I remembered it very vividly. When I got home, I took a canvas and put all my feelings on it. I used acrylics just because I wanted to work fast, in case I forgot what I had seen."
The image is 50cm x 70cm and is framed floating in a white box frame. The size with frame is 54cm x 74cm
The painting is an exact replica of the original and looks incredible.
It is a different calmer sea for Marina but with a hint of something else which balances the calmness well.

Coupon crazed
I recently had the pleasure of attending Army Wife Network's "Coupon Boot Camp Webinar", supported in part by the Commissary Shopper. I have to admit while I was sitting through it, two days for a couple hours each day, I began to question what I was being taught compared to what I already knew. Pretty basic stuff. But it was an opportunity to educate myself and I took it all in, reaffirming mostly and taking in a few bits and pieces as well. (As an example, I had no idea you could use a manufacturer coupon and a BJ's coupon on the same item … two coupons for one item; TOO cool!) But then yesterday…

Military Family Support
I've been watching the news lately regarding President Obama's call to support military-families. This support is needed! The military lifestyle affects more than the soldier, sailor, marine, or airman. I am certainly glad to see our leaders acknowledging the family! But, I also feel that government agencies aren't the only forms, maybe even not the best forms, of support out there. The best support I have found through the years of military-living is from my family, my neighbors, other moms, other military families. People. I find support in people. Then there are other great /people/ run organizations. Like, MilitaryAvenue and all of the Partners that stand behind us! Other top…

Recently we traveled to Fort Riley and participated in the Army Wife Network (AWN) "Priceless Package". When this event comes to your post, be FIRST in line to sign up for a seat. It is an unbelievable time of relaxing, laughing, learning and sharing. All attendees walk out of that room with a greater understanding of military pride. They are armed with battle buddies, recognize that normal is WONDERFUL and gripping a piece of normalcy and holding on to that with flexed fingers is all important. Like my Aunt used to say… "whatever doesn't make you stronger kills ya." She had a way with words! This time is a must…
The REAL "Priceless Packages" at Ft Riley
It is a tough time to be a military family! Period! No ifs; ands or buts! The military members' multiple deployments to combat zones and the inherent dangers are too frequent with not enough time in between! The Guard and Reserve forces are being over tasked beyond their traditional roles and the active duty forces are seeing multiple deployments while continuing to PCS; do continuation and upgrade training; and respond to contingencies such as Haiti humanitarian relief! So seeing smiles and hearing young Army spouses laughing and giggling during last weeks Army Wife Network's Field Exercise and their "Priceless Packages" was great! Star Henderson and Tara Crooks led a "seminar"…

The Good...
Justin Mapp - As tempting as it is to label nobody in The Good, that wouldn't be fair to Justin Mapp. He was the only player in blue to consistently want the ball and do something with it once on his feet. Besides his four shot attempts, Mapp was often visibly helping out Camara and tied with Bernardello for the team lead with seven recoveries.
The Bad...
Andrea Pisanu - I'm not hiding it. The fact that I was more puzzled about the inclusion of Pisanu in the starting eleven than that of a defender who was making his season debut in a playoff game, tells you all you need to know about how I feel about Pisanu.
How you decide to start a player that has consistently disappointed on the pitch throughout the second half of the season, over an experienced playoff performer in Davy Arnaud is beyond me. At least with Arnaud you know you will get hustle and effort on the pitch, as for Pisanu you get 7 successful passes, 7 unsuccessful passes and 8 turnovers in 55 mins of play...that's it.
Beyond the stats, what was even more disturbing was how often Pisanu was found in the middle of the pitch or near Justin Mapp and nowhere on the left flank where he could have provided some passing options to Brovsky or Bernardello.
Andrès Romero - Luckily for Romero he plays in the same club as Pisanu and therefore can only be considered the second worst player on his team. He came in the game for Pisanu and in only 35 mins of play he made sure to leave his mark on the match.... or may I say.... Kofi Sarkodie rear end.
It was a gratuitous and selfish foul and a lot like the player delivering it, there is no place in MLS for either.
Nelson Rivas- What a shame. He could have easily been a great story Thursday night. Physically and defensively Rivas look great on the pitch even if at times there was some visible communications issues between him and Ferrari. He gave IMFC fans hope about what he can still bring to the club going forward.
But then the undisciplined side of Nelson Rivas showed its ugly head. In now two years with the Impact, Rivas has played only 12 games and has already received three red cards. He should have been ejected at the end of the first half on the first yellow, but he then left no choice at the 70th minute for referee Mark Geiger to hand out the red. It was a disappointing and needless end for a player who worked hard to return to the pitch.
Matteo Ferrari - I won't be as harsh on Ferrari as the names above because honestly the coach has done him no favors. Overplayed during the season, Ferrari has visibly slowed down towards the end of the year and playing him for the first time this season along Rivas in a playoff game would not be easy for any defender. But the fact remains that it was not a strong game from Ferrari, who was often late on plays in the first half.
The Ugly...
Marco Schallibaum - Anytime a team shows up to their most important game of the season the way IMFC did, the head coach must take his fair share of the blame. But Coach Schallibaum deserves more than that.
Anytime you leave your team captain and most experienced playoff player on the bench for a tough road playoff game is beyond questionable. Let alone go with a player who was a healthy scratch for several months during the season and has played even worse upon his return.
But beyond the starting lineup, like many times during the regular season, the club looked like it had no game plan once it fell behind. Instead it looked lost. Like a club that showed up with one strategy and unable to adapt to game as it went on.
Maybe it isn't so surprising that the Montreal Impact season ends on a dreadful display of indiscipline when you consider that the head coach has been ejected and fined more than any other coach in MLS or on any player on his club.
Share your thoughts, Impact fans. Who else disappointed you Thursday night? Was I too harsh or not harsh enough?

The start of the Florida A&M football season is only one day away. Opening day for the new-look Florida A&M Rattlers is tomorrow at 7:30 p.m.
The opponent: The Miami Hurricanes, ranked 13th in the nation by the Associated Press poll.
Film study has been essential to the team's preparation this off-season. It'll be the task of those who played in the game against Miami last year to lead the team this year.
Alvis Graham played in the Miami game last season, and will use what he learned from that game to help the defense with the different looks they will see.
"When I'm out there on the field I try and let the guys know some of the things I've seen on film and also some of the things I saw on the field last year," Graham said.
Starting Cornerback, and Miami native, Curtis Holcomb has his mind set on using this game to help sharpen this years team's focus going into the season.
"Of course this is Miami, so you have to be prepared. We all take home film to get in the habit of learning tendencies of the receivers route running and all the other little things," Holcomb said. "What better team to start with than one with Travis Benjamin, LaRon Byrd, and Leonard Hankerson."
FAMU is heading to the game with first year starter Martin Ukpai under center. Ukpai will be protected by a line compiled of four transfers, but has a host of experience in his skill positions.
Kevin Elliott, Isaac West, and Adrian Smith lead an all senior receiving corps.
"It's really exciting," Elliot said. "We've been hitting each other for the past two months and we're really just excited just to go on the field against another opponent."
Holcomb, who had an interception in the last game against Miami, said he was less excited and more focused on the impending match up with a top-tier FBS school.
"Last year when we played against Miami everybody was so excited because it was Miami," he said. "To me it's just another opponent, you know, so we want to get more focused."
Veteran senior Phillip Sylvester and upcoming talent Eddie Rocker will be seeing the majority of the time at the running back position.
"Last year when you saw us line up, most things went through Pulley," Taylor said. "You'll see Philip in the backfield this year."
In a rematch of last season's biggest loss for the rattlers, Coach Joe Taylor sees no reason for heads to be hung low.
"If you are sending us an invitation to a pity party or a wake, we wont be there," Coach Taylor said. "We are going to show up and you will enjoy everything you see."

Jaylen Brown Can Thank Billy Donovan for His $115 Million Celtics Contract
Like many athletes, Jaylen Brown fueled his athletic success by proving doubters wrong. As one of the top young wings in the NBA, he's developed into a key building block for the Boston Celtics. Let's just say Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Billy Donovan never expected that to happen.
The former Florida Gators coach who took his talents to the NBA once gave a 17-year-old Brown some harsh criticism. But by using Donovan's words as motivation, Jaylen Brown has gone from a high-school prodigy to a top-three lottery pick to a highly-paid rising star.
Jaylen Brown has developed into a star for the Celtics
Coming out of the University of California, Jaylen Brown certainly looked the part of an NBA wing. Tipping the scales at 6-foot-6, 223 pounds with excellent athleticism, he possessed the perfect skill set to become a star. Of course, it took some time for the one-and-done forward to live up to his potential.
As a 20-year-old rookie, Brown started just 20 games and averaged 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds. Those numbers fell well short of expectations considering he entered the league as the third overall pick. In his second season, Brown showed tremendous growth. He increased his scoring average to 14.5 points per game on a stellar 39.5% shooting from behind the 3-point line.
However, Brown's game regressed in 2018-19. He got relegated to bench duty and looked like a player who could be traded. But once Kyrie Irving departed, everything turned around for the uber-talented Georgia native.
Before the NBA season got put on pause, Brown ascended to elite status. In 50 games, he averaged a career-high 20.4 points to go along with 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.1 steals. He even increased his free-throw percentage to 73.6, which represented nearly a 10% improvement from last season. Of course, his arrival as a top-flight wing represented a stark contrast to what Billy Donovan predicted years ago.
Brown will never forget Billy Donovan's harsh words
Before he became a Golden Bear or a Celtic, Jaylen Brown represented his country. He suited up for Team USA's Under-18 team, which happened to be coached by Donovan. Despite his prodigious talent, Brown didn't get great reviews from his coach.
However, in a recent Zoom video conference with UMass students, he relayed how Donovan influenced his career, as covered by Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald.
"He told me he wasn't playing me because he said I didn't play hard," said Brown. "I said 'what do you mean, I've been cooking everybody.' And he told me you're only going to be in the league for three years because you don't play hard.
Brown became so angry he started crying. At the time, he may not have realized what exactly his coach was trying to accomplish. But in retrospect, Donovan's harsh criticism helped the current Celtics star to achieve his potential.
"That was his way, and I really didn't appreciate that at all. It upset me," he said. "I'm not cool with him to this day. For someone to say that was a lot for a 17-year-old. I appreciate the message he delivered, and to this day I kind of think about it, because that message was added to my work ethic."
Former No. 3 pick proved Donovan wrong with $115 million contract
For a normal 17-year-old, those words might have derailed any dreams of going pro. But for Jaylen Brown, he's made Billy Donovan look foolish for predicting he'd last just three years in the NBA. Not only has Brown surpassed Donovan's expectations but he's also managed to become extremely wealthy.
In October 2019, the Celtics signed the 2016 first-round pick to a four-year, $115 million contract extension. That represented a massive raise for Brown, whose rookie deal totaled just over $21 million. Boston did assume some risk in handing him a huge deal based on his inconsistent first three years, but the breakout star silenced any critics this season.
As Boston prepares to get back on the court, Brown can do so with the satisfaction of knowing he's already made it past that three-year mark that Billy Donovan predicted. And he can also smiley proudly knowing that he earned every penny of a $115 million contract that the OKC head coach could have never imagined when he shredded Jaylen Brown as a teenager.

Dialight Introduces Major Advance in LED Traffic Signal Technology
A pioneer in LED technology for 40 years, Dialight was among the first to offer LED traffic signals in the mid-1990s. Since 2001, the company has shipped more than 6 million LED traffic signal products globally. Dialight's new integrated traffic signal module represents the first major innovation in the field since the rollout of LED.
The timing of the new traffic signal module's release can benefit organizations that install and maintain signals since many units currently in use are more than 10 years old and thus well beyond the end of their recommended lifecycle. Dialight's unique new product enables replacement of older units with a module that integrates LED signals into the housing; unlike other products on the market, this facilitates replacement of existing units with a single purchase and does not require assembly.
Dialight's new traffic signal module also offers greater operational efficiency, consuming less than 7 Watts as compared to existing LED units, which consume up to 30 Watts, and older incandescent signals (approximately 30% of US traffic signal units), which use up to 150 Watts. The new integrated traffic signal module is sealed against moisture and has a 15-year lifecycle as opposed to the recommended seven- to eight-year lifecycle offered by other products on the market. The new Dialight product is backed by a 15-year warranty.
The integrated traffic signal module is fully compatible with the wiring that supports existing signal units and easily adapts to power supply changes. Unlike other products on the market, Dialight's integrated traffic signal module is designed for maximum flexibility, featuring a replaceable power supply that allows users to accommodate initiatives such as conversion to DC voltage to enhance public safety. With the integrated Dialight product, the conversion can be accomplished by simply replacing the power supply rather than replacing the entire traffic signal module.
The Dialight integrated traffic signal module is now available for purchase. The patent pending signal light will be offered in standard housing colors, and the efficient LED signals provide vivid red, green and yellow lighting in ball and arrow configurations.
By offering the first innovation in traffic signal technology in well over a decade, Dialight, an industry pioneer, continues to lead the way, providing a more efficient, cost-effective and flexible option.

The Talons of Weng-Chiang is one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes. I acknowledge its greatest weakness, namely the racist portrayal of the Chinese characters in the story, but I also try to judge stories in the context of the times in which they were conceived, or in the context of the times in which they were supposed to be set.
I like this Doctor Who story because it's less sci-fi and more horror. We have a ventriloquist's dummy who has (an evil) life of his own. Freaky for people who aren't so crazy about dolls. We have R.O.U.S.s à la The Princess Bride who will eat anything, um, "meaty." Freaky for people who hate rodents. We have young women being kidnapped and sucked dry of their life essence by an insane alien being hoping to preserve his own life by using up theirs. Freaky for... Well, just freaky. On top of that, this story takes place largely at night in a fog-blanketed London, where it seems the only light on the street is streaming from a gay theatre. Only this theatre is the core of darnkess in this city, with unsuspecting people attracted to it like moths to light.
There's horror, there's mystery, and then to top it all off, there's Leela, who I adore. Possibly one of The Doctor's most interesting companions, I love the strength that Leela brings to The Female in this story. All around her Victorian women are dropping like flies, and Leela just determines that she is not a victim, and she's not going to tolerate anyone who tries to victimize her or anyone else. Leela is a hunter, she's a warrior, she's fearless, she kicks ass, and she's cool. Leela is a perfect sidekick for The Doctor. She can hold her own, and she doesn't scream for him to help her. She helps herself.
This is a layered story, full of intrigue, horror, and humor. As I listen to more of these Doctor Who books on audio, I become more enamored with them. They're high quality, and almost as entertaining as watching the show on TV.

Some would-be refugees are reportedly trying to buy children in order to secure a trip across the Mexican border into the United States.
The migrants are apparently targeting financially destitute single mothers, Mexican authorities and shelter directors both confirmed, the Seattle Times reported Sunday.
It's much easier to enter the United States with a child or children in tow because a policy known as the Flores Agreement dictates that migrant children can only be detained for a short period of time and then must be released — along with the adult who accompanied them. The family — real or not — can then wait for a refugee hearing or choose to flee. (RELATED: Beto Meets With Migrants 'Impacted By Donald Trump's Cruel And Inhumane Policies')
The difference can mean days in a detention center as opposed to weeks or months in such a facility — or just being turned back.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has already indicated that migrants were "renting" children to appear like families. Then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen reported last May that illegal immigrants were "recycling" children — with several migrants claiming the same children as their own.
But now it appears to be the Mexicans, who have agreed to a more robust border patrol, who are confirming reports that children have become the currency of illegal immigration, and Mexican authorities are warning migrant mothers about people potentially trafficking in human lives. (RELATED: Democratic Mayor: 'We Are Sick And Tired' Of Government Inaction On Illegal Immigration)
Cruz says the going rate for a child is about 7,000 Mexican pesos or $350. She is concerned that the traffickers might not take no for answer and will proceed to kidnap children for their purposes.
"They want to rob our kids so they can cross into the United States," the Times reported.
The Tijuana municipal police are investigating reports of people attempting to buy children. The Times notes that the phenomenon was initially reported by Tijuana journalists Yolanda Morales and Yuriria Sierra for Imagen TV.
Tijuana shelter director Pastor Gustavo Banda acknowledged that many families at the border are afraid to lose sight of their children because of the constant threat of abduction, the Times noted.

Dental Services
Thornton Teeth Whitening, Dental Implants, Veneers
The Dental Center is a family practice offering all patients a wide variety of dental care options, including routine dental exams and cleaning, bondings/fillings, cosmetic treatments, such as bleaching or whitening, as well as care for periodontal conditions.
Please contact us if you have any questions about our services or procedures and we would be happy to go over any information with you. We look forward to seeing you in our office!
General Dentistry
General dentistry involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of conditions, disorders and diseases affecting the teeth, gums and maxillofacial (associated with the jaw and face) region of the body. Ideally, dentistry is preventative. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you visit your dentist regularly for routine dental exams and cleanings – at least once every six months – to ensure proper oral hygiene and functionality. Regular checkups and oral health maintenance prevent the development of serious dental problems that can require costly treatment. If you remain vigilant and visit your dentist regularly, you can enjoy exceptional dental health.
A bonding is a composite resin that is used as an alternative to traditional fillings and is an excellent cosmetic option for those patients who do not want the look of silver in their mouths and do not want the expense of veneers. Bondings can be used on teeth that are decayed, cracked, or stained.
A bridge is one of the few dental options available when deciding how to deal with a missing tooth or teeth. The replacement of these missing teeth is necessary in order to maintain the proper mouth functions. Tooth loss can affect the way you eat, speak, and the alignment of other teeth in your mouth.
There are many possible reasons you would require a crown including teeth grinding, general decay, cracked fillings, root canals, and other dental conditions. If your tooth is beyond repair with a filling material, we may recommend that the best option to save the tooth is a crown to ensure tooth durability, cosmetic appearance, and overall support of the chewing function. Crowns can be made of full porcelain, a porcelain fused to metal or gold, or a full gold crown and your dentist can work with you to decide the best type of crown for your situation.
At The Dental Center we are proud to be able to offer crowns in one day with E4D in-office laboratory technology. This is state of the art technology that allows us to offer our patients the ability to have their permanent crown, in some cases, in as little as two hours. Not all cases apply, so please be sure to speak to your Dental Center dentist for details.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are becoming more popular as they offer patients a foundation for new restorative teeth where natural teeth are missing or have been extracted. The implant offers the patient the opportunity to regain normal function of the tooth without being forced to resort to a bridge or a denture.
Dentures/Partial Dentures
Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth. While dentures take some getting used to, and will never feel exactly the same as natural teeth, dentures today are natural looking and more comfortable than ever. There are two main types of dentures: full and partial. Your dentist will help you choose the type of denture that's best for you based on whether some or all of your teeth are going to be replaced and the cost involved.
Tooth Whitening and Bleaching
This is a great service for those who are concerned that their teeth are not as white as they could be. Before teeth can be whitened, however, you will need to be free of periodontal disease, unfilled cavities, and any other issues that will cause the teeth or tissue to react to the chemicals used in this process.
Periodontal Health
Periodontal, or gum disease, is an infection of the tissues that support the teeth. Bacteria, organized as "plaque", attacks the gums and bone that surround and support the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that clings to the teeth and gums. Plaque that is not removed for 24 to 48 hours hardens, becoming "calculus" or "tartar" under the gums and around the teeth. Once calculus or tartar develops, it can only be removed by having your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist or dental hygienist. If not removed, the bacteria in the plaque and calculus creates toxins that, over time, can destroy gum and bone tissue around the teeth.
Periodontal disease is described by it's level of severity. There are two main types of peridontal disease: "Gingivitis" and "Periodontitis."
- Gingivitis is a milder form of the disease affecting only the gums. The toxins in plaque irritate the gums, making them red and swollen and more likely to bleed easily. It can usually be healed by daily brushing, flossing between your teeth, and professional cleaning at a dental office. If left untreated, gingivitis develops into a more serious condition called "Periodontitis."
- Periodontitis results when the toxins in plaque begin to destroy the tissues that anchor the tooth to the bone. The gum will often recede, exposing the roots of the tooth. These exposed roots become very sensitive to hot, cold, and touch and will get cavities easier than the crown of the tooth. As the gums begin to let go of the teeth, "pockets" form in the narrow collar of tissue around the tooth, making it impossible to adequately clean at the base of the pocket. Additionally, the bone holding the tooth begins to dissolve, and the tooth becomes loose and eventually very painful.
Prevention is the least expensive and easiest treatment: daily brushing and flossing are the most important things to do. If the "pocket measurements" are greater than 4 mm, it means the tissue cannot be cleaned by ordinary means, and more aggressive therapy is in order.
The next most important step in treating this disease is a thorough cleaning that includes scaling to remove plaque and calculus deposits. Smoothing the root surfaces (called "root planning") is often done at the same time to permit the gum tissue to reattach and heal properly. Curettage removes the soft tissue lining the periodontal pocket, further allowing the tissue to heal. Sometimes, surgery is necessary to gain access to the bottom of the periodontal pocket or to graft in bone and tissue.
Please contact us at any time with questions about our practice, our doctors or our philosophy of care. We look forward to caring for your smile!

Going Green
By Lynn Petrak, contributing editor
Sustainability is the word of the moment for packagers and food suppliers.
If Earth is indeed in the balance, then broad-scale efforts to reduce waste are designed to even the scales somewhat. As the green movement is truly budding worldwide, packaging has become a focus of environmentally driven business decisions, particularly interest in pursuing packaging that is sustainable and more Earth-friendly.
Indeed, sustainability is a hot topic in manufacturing environments right now. The concept of sustainability, in fact, is a major theme of the upcoming PACK EXPO sponsored by the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) show in Las Vegas. Industry representatives have heard the drumbeat, too.
"I was at a retailer last week with one of the major packers, and I'll tell you that the issue of trying to minimize impact on the environment from overpackaging is front and center on the agenda of retailers as well as packers," says Randy Irion of National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA). Retailers and meat supplier are also looking at reducing the environmental impact of practices like transportation and distribution, says Irion. Meat and poultry processors report that sustainability is a topic that has reached many levels of their organization.
"We always consider sustainability when reviewing current packaging and developing new," says Beth Goeddel of Oscar Mayer, noting that previous bacon packaging is not recyclable. "The new Oscar Mayer Stay-Fresh Reclosable bacon package can be recycled — the lid is made of polyester, also known as PET, and the tray is the same material, but it has a barrier that aids with shelf life and freshness."
Other processors have emphasized the sustainability or recyclability of their packages. There are opportunities for natural brands, in particular, to emphasize their commitment to the environment.
"You see a lot of these manufacturers coming out with all-natural products and all-natural and recyclable packaging, and they are having success with it. It's about, once again, identifying a niche consumer and addressing some of their needs and wants," relates Jarrod Sutton of the National Pork Board. "A great example is Hormel's [Natural Choice] sliced deli meats, in the brown natural packaging that is anywhere from one to two dollars higher than other national brands."
The simultaneous drives for sustainability and convenience, quality and safety may not always match up, however. Although consumers look for convenient products packaged in resealable tubs, trays and zippered pouches, such materials are not as biodegradable as, say, white butcher paper.
"Theoretically you can recycle many packaged materials, but it is a fairly complex process in trying to get such materials collected and get them to a place where someone can actually do something with it and make something besides park benches. It's hard to find practical end uses for mixed polymers," Huston Keith, principal of Keymark Associates, points out.
Industry consultant Ken Johnson also wonders if and how those two trend paths will converge in the future.
"I don't know if they'll meet entirely. What you wish and what you need aren't the same sometimes," he says, adding that the packaging materials would have to be, at the least, recyclable.

Last month, a Chinese tipster had claimed Samsung Galaxy A10 could be among the company's first smartphones to be equipped with an In-display fingerprint sensor. A variant of the upcoming smartphone with the model number SM-A105F has now appeared on the Geekbench benchmark database, revealing a few hardware specifications.
Galaxy A10 to be Powered by Samsung's Exynos 7885 SoC
The Samsung Galaxy A10, which will likely be the most affordable Galaxy A-series smartphone to be released this year, will be powered by the company's in-house developed Exynos 7885 14nm octa-core processor. Samsung's upcoming Galaxy A20, Galaxy A30, and Galaxy A40 smartphones are also expected to be powered by the very same chipset. Samsung has coupled the chipset with 2GB of RAM on the Galaxy A10, which suggests it may be priced significantly lower than previous Galaxy A-series smartphones from the company. As for the benchmarking performance, Galaxy A10 SM-A105F variant posted a score of 1,103 points in the single-core and 3,324 points in the multi-core test. Both the scores are slightly less impressive when compared to the rest of the upcoming Galaxy A-series smartphones powered by the Exynos 7885 chipset. The Geekbench benchmark listing also reveals the handset is currently being tested on the Android 9.0 Pie operating system, which means the entire 2019 Galaxy A-series lineup is set to debut with the latest version of Android right out of the box.
According to a recent leak, Samsung will be using LCD displays on the Galaxy A10, which will help the company price it more competitively. While LCD displays are not quite as impressive as OLED panels, the switch to cheaper LCD panels may help make the Galaxy A10 a popular choice in the mid to low-end segment. There is no word on the exact pricing yet but we do not expect the Galaxy A10 to be significantly more expensive than the Galaxy M10. Samsung reportedly plans to ship between 2.5 and 3 million units of the Galaxy A10 per month. It also remains to be seen if the Galaxy A10 will actually feature an In-display fingerprint sensor. The more premium 2019 Galaxy A-series smartphones such as the Galaxy A50, however, are highly likely to sport an optical In-display fingerprint sensor.

The Knights took on the Fremd Vikings on Friday night, looking to win a regional championship for the first time since 2009. They fell down early 6-0, but the Knights would not quit.
Sophomore David Swedura opened the Knights' scoring with a three pointer, closing the gap to 6-3. Juniors Frankie Mack and Michael Ritchie scored back-to-back baskets to put the Knights up 7-6.
Unfortunately, the Knights would never lead again. The Knights fell 64-47 to the Vikings, ending their season in the Barrington regional final.
Mack lead the Knights with 17 points and converting 6 of his 7 attempts at the free throw line. Swedura put up 10 points on 3-of-4 shooting from the inside and 1-of-2 from behind the three-point arc.
The Vikings dominated inside, getting 13 points and 4 rebounds from both senior Patrick Benka and junior Brian Dompke. Junior Kyle Sliwa lead the Vikings with 14 points on 3-of-6 shooting inside and 2-of-3 on three pointers.
After the Knights led in the first quarter, the Vikings scored five unanswered taking a 11-7 lead. Junior Matt Szuba hit a buzzer beating three to close the quarter and only leave the Knights trailing by one, 11-10, heading into the second quarter.
The Vikings came out blazing, with senior Connor Simios (9 points, 3-of-5 on three pointers) hitting two straight threes to open the quarter and take a 17-11 lead. The Knights stuck with the Vikings, only trailing 26-21 at the half.
The Knights closed the gap to three, 26-23, after a huge block leading to a transition layup for Mack. Sliwa hit a three pointer for Fremd, but Mack came down and answered with an and-one layup closing the gap back to three in a 29-26 game.
Then Fremd went on a 6-0 run over the next minute and a half, putting the Knights behind 35-26. After making a few baskets, the Knights trailed 37-30 heading into the final quarter.
The start of the fourth is when Fremd took control of the game for good. They engineered an 11-2 run over the first three minutes of the quarter.
Coach John Camardella reflected on the runs in the second half that put his team out of contention.
"The game got away from us, really unfortunate," Camardella said. "Once we got down, obviously we had to press a little bit, and you have to give Fremd credit. They do not turn the ball over. Credit them, they straight-up won the game. I'm very very proud of our effort, and we just came up a little short in the other stuff."
The Vikings led by double digits the rest of the way. Camardella brought in his senior group for one last time with about a minute and a half left in the game.
Camardella focused on this year's seniors after the game instead of the young players that led this year's team.
"[We] had a very special and selfless group of seniors that we will miss a lot next year," Camardella said.
However with those young players in mind, Camardella decided to start junior Michael Ritchie and Swedura after their impressive performances off the bench in the regional semifinal.
"They came off and they both played extremely well two nights ago. Like I said on Wednesday, we have seven or eight starters, and our guys are very selfless."
Even with the tough loss after an excited postseason run, Camardella pointed out what his team did instead of what they didn't do.
"Just how proud I was of them, these guys have been so close so many times this year," Camardella said. "I told them to just be proud of that effort."
While Camardella applauded the team for what they accomplished, he still knows his team needs to learn from this experience. He wants them to take something away from this tough loss.
"[Remember] the little things. It's a game of inches," Camardella said. "To try and win as many of those little things and to control the things we can control."
With this being the last game of the season, Camardella knows this team will stick out in his mind.
"I'm going to have really good memories with these guys," Camardella said. "I just had so much fun coaching them."

Hiking in France affords plenty of opportunities to get up and close and person with picturesque villages, stunning landscapes and fabulous buildings. Author Glen Craney went walking in Occitania on an escorted "Cathars, Castles and Cassoulet" hiking tour with small groups.on the trail of heretics and saints through the most amazing countryside of Cathar history…
Arriving in Montsegur
A heavy rain on the evening we arrived had turned the switchback path up the mount into a treacherous stream of mud. My fellow hikers decided to postpone their climb until the next morning, but I slogged on up the western face alone. A half-hour later, I stood three thousand feet above the valley and leaned against Montsegur's ancient wall to catch my breath. The sun broke through dark clouds to welcome me with a hug of warmth. Maybe, I thought, the legends about mystical occurrences here were not so far-fetched.
Thousands come to Montsegur each year to remember the 220 Cathars—including a grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter—who were burned here in 1244 after a brutal nine-month siege. Terraces excavated on its slope reveal where the malnourished refugees huddled in huts while praying for a good death. Surrendering Occitan soldiers were allowed to avoid execution by offering their allegiance to Rome, but several chose to die in the fires with those whose courage they had come to admire. Legend has it that on the night before the burnings, four defenders escaped down the mount with a mysterious treasure.
On our last morning in Occitania, we walked into the reconstructed medieval city of Carcassonne, once heralded as the Paris of the South. I meandered through the old basilica of Sainte-Nazaireand was greeted by a sign announcing that the church had been home to the "Roman Catholic Cult" since 1096. Was this a clumsy English translation, I wondered, or had some unbowed Occitan docent insisted on having the last word?
On a wall of the nave, I found the famous slab that had once been part of Simon de Montfort's tomb there, before his remains were removed north to more hospitable surroundings. No epitaph marks the spot, so I whispered one of my own, a line from Shakespeare in The Winter's Tale that best summed up my feelings about this magical land seared by tragedy: "It is a heretic that makes the fire, not she which burns in it."

A compressor is a volumetric machine that uses positive displacement to increase the pressure of gas by reducing its volume, and is similar to a pump in its mechanism. Liquid-Ring Compressors are specially suited for medium pressure applications and are used in many diverse industrial processes such as the compression of air or gasses, aerating tanks for fermenters, feeding air or gas to burners, and agitating tanks for liquids. Here are some of the industries these compressors are used in:
- Compressing CO2 for the Sugar industry
- Humidification Plants
- Compressing digestion gases for wastewater treatment plants
- Natural gas compression
- Oil refineries and petrochemical plants
- Clinics and hospitals
Advantages of using a Liquid-Ring Compressor vs. a Piston Driven Compressor
This machine requires extremely low to no maintenance because of it's simple construction and low operating speeds based on the use of liquid instead of pistons. As a result, the wear on the metal is reduced to zero. The replacement of parts that suffer from wear and tear, such as the mechanical seal, are quick and easy to replace.
How it works
Liquid-Ring Compressors are formed by cylindrical stator, from which a rotor supported at the side covers rotates. The rotor shaft is eccentric with respect to the stator of the Liquid-Ring Compressor. Liquid is centrifuged and placed inside an elliptical chamber where an impeller rotates around a central distributor, called the "cone".
Liquid-Ring Compressors are made up of a single or double stage compressor, electric motor, a vertical or horizontal gas liquid separator, heat exchanger valves, instrumentation and piping according to international standards. Water, oil or fuel can be used as an auxiliary service liquid in the unit.
The liquid, forced by the impeller vanes, starts to rotate and disposes to the sides of the chamber due to the centrifugal force. The gases are disposed in the centre of the liquid in two vanes. During a single rotation of 180 degrees, the gas simultaneously undergoes a decrease in volume and increases in pressure.
