Allen R Williams, Ph.D., Soil Health Academy Instructor
Parasite control in livestock is a major issue and has been heavily focused on for several decades now. There are numerous anthelmintics (chemical dewormers) available for internal parasite control and a host of pyrethroid and organophosphate products available for fly control. The issue with any of these products is that they are chemicals that impact not only the target pest but also other beneficial organisms. Parasite control products can negatively affect dung beetles, earthworms, other beetles, and a host of other beneficial insects.
They are also costly. The treatments themselves cost several dollars per head and there is cost in administering the product. If the livestock have to be penned to apply treatment, then you must factor in the cost of labor and shrink (weight loss due to stress). In cattle, producers can spend anywhere from $25/head to almost $50/head annually for parasite control treatments (internal and external).
Is it possible to mitigate treatment and develop a herd that needs little to no internal and external parasite control intervention? The answer is Yes. The question is how we can accomplish this. I will outline a six-step program that will greatly reduce and even eliminate the need for treatment.
Step One: Genetic Resistance
All livestock species possess a certain level of natural resistance to internal and external parasites. There are individual animals within each species, breed, and herd/flock that display greater tolerance to parasites and those that display greater susceptibility. By identifying those individuals, we can start the process of culling susceptible animals and selecting for resistant animals.
The first step is to quit mass treatment, also known as metaphylactic treatment (treatment for prevention). By mass treating on a routine basis, it is quite hard to identify susceptible and resistant individuals. Stopping the treatment and using keen daily observation allows you to clearly identify those individuals showing much greater fly pressure and signs of internal parasites. In any herd you will notice some individuals that are routinely covered in flies while others are relatively free of flies. The same can be said for internal parasites. Some will exhibit little signs of infestation and others will seem to be routinely infested.
Moving livestock daily in an adaptive grazing program makes this selection process much easier. You are seeing the livestock on a more frequently as they pass right by you while entering the fresh paddock. Note the ones that appear to have issues and write down their ID. These would be animals to cull as soon feasible.
Since you will be stopping the mass treatment, I recommend treating the affected animals individually. This can also be accomplished while they move from one paddock to the next, using pour-ons and sprays.
With genetic selection for increased resistance, I would also recommend not keeping replacement breeding stock from cows that are marked for culling due to signs of susceptibility.
Step Two: Frequent Movement
One of the best ways to reduce internal and external parasite pressure is to keep livestock moving away from recent insect hatches. By utilizing adaptive grazing practices and moving the livestock daily, it becomes easier to keep livestock at a distance from these new hatches. During warm weather, fly eggs can hatch within 1-2 days, the larvae feed for 3-5 days and then pupate for 4-6 days before emerging as flies.
For internal parasites, infected livestock pass eggs through the manure onto the ground. During the warm season, eggs can hatch and then go through several larval stages until they become infective. This can take as little as six days. Livestock then swallow the infective larvae on moist grass during moderate temperatures. The infective larvae are usually transmitted when soil temperatures are between 550 F and 850 F and grasses are kept moist from frequent rainfall.
Re-infestation of internal parasites is usually our fault. If we are moving livestock daily, then there is very little opportunity for re-infestation to occur. It is actually easier to move away from internal parasite hatches than fly hatches, for obvious reasons (i.e., flies can fly). At times of heavy fly hatches, it may be necessary to move livestock a longer distance from recent hatches. That may mean altering your normal grazing rotation.
Rest periods between grazing events can play an important role in preventing re-infestation. It is recommended that pastures be allowed at least 40 days of rest before grazing again. Rest periods of 60 days or longer are even better.
Step Three: Dung Beetles and Other Beneficials
There are a host of beneficial insects that can control internal and external parasites. These include dung beetles, yellow dung flies (also known as golden dung flies), black dump flies, immature dragon flies, damsel-flies, fire ants, and parasitic wasps. Globally, there are more than 8000 dung beetle species with up to 90 species common in North America. Dung beetles can smell fresh manure and be on a newly deposited patty within seconds of it hitting the ground.
Since adult dung beetles have wings and can fly, they can easily follow the livestock as they move from paddock to paddock. A single adult dung beetle can bury up to 250 times it's weight in dung on a daily basis. That's a lot of manure incorporated into the soil in a short period of time.
The action of dung beetles and other beneficial insects can greatly reduce hatches of flies and internal parasites (Picture 1). The issue is that practically every chemical dewormer and fly control product impact not only the target pest organism but also a number of beneficials that are natural biological controls. If we are using chemical parasite control, we are damaging our dung beetle and beneficial populations. It should be noted that earthworm populations also take a hit when chemical dewormers are used.
Step Four: Grazing High
For internal parasites, one of the best ways to prevent re-infestation is to "graze high." Because stomach worm larvae are very susceptible to desiccation from sunlight and heat, they tend to stay within the first 3-4 inches of growth relative to the soil. By allowing livestock to graze too close we are facilitating ingestion of infective-stage larvae on a continuous basis. This is easily resolved by managing grazing events so that the livestock are not routinely grazing below 5-6 inches in forage height.
Most issues typically occur in the spring with the new flush of forage growth, the time when many grazers are quite anxious to get their livestock out and grazing, as soon as they notice the first tinge of green. This short, highly vegetative growth can be loaded with infective stage larvae and livestock can quickly incur a heavy parasite load.
Strategies to start early spring grazing can play a significant role in preventing this infestation. One strategy is to reserve a stockpiled pasture through the winter for use as the first pasture grazed in the spring. The mix of tall stockpiled grasses coupled with the new growth coming in underneath can be beneficial for preventing infestation.
Another strategy is to hold off on initial grazing until forages have achieved an average height of at least 8-10 inches. This is not only beneficial for preventing internal parasite infestation but also provides season-long benefits relative to forage biomass production. Grazing too early in the spring can negatively impact productivity for the rest of the year.
Step Five: Plant Species Diversity
This is one of the most overlooked strategies for control of internal and external parasites. Different plant species produce varying arrays of phytochemicals that not only are nutritive in value but also contain powerful anti-parasitic and medicinal properties. However, many pastures are monoculture or have low diversity so the ability of our livestock to routinely consume a diverse array of plant species is very limited.
Dr. Fred Provenza has conducted more than 30 years of research on the benefits of plant species diversity. Fred states conclusively that "Landscapes with diverse arrays of plants are nutrition centers and pharmacies with vast arrays of phytochemicals." (Let Feed and Food Be Our Medicine. Understanding Ag Webinar. May 19, 2020). His works shows that animal health improves when livestock graze a diverse mix of plants compared to low diversity fields (Picture 2).
The plants that produce the highest quantity of these vital phytochemicals are often forbs. Many grazers view most forbs as weeds. However, these "weeds" are rich in compounds that contain tannins and other anti-parasitics. By eliminating forbs from our pastures, we are depriving our livestock of the opportunity to naturally deworm themselves.
Time after time, through astute observation, we have noticed our livestock purposefully selecting leaves from many different types of forbs. The individual animals that are doing this are the very ones that show far fewer signs and symptoms of internal and external parasite infestation. They are, in effect, taking preventative medicine through their plant selection.
Step Six: Multi-species Grazing
Many producers now have more than one species of livestock on their farms. Strategic use of multi-species grazing or foraging can have a profound impact on internal and external parasite control (Picture 3).
Picture 3. Multiple Species Can Disrupt Parasite Cycles.
Some species serve as dead-end hosts for parasites that affect other species. For example, cattle and horses serve as dead end hosts for sheep and goat parasites and vice versa.
Additionally, species such as chickens and pigs scratch through and root through manure patties in search of larvae to consume. As they consume larvae and spread out the manure through their efforts, the likelihood of larvae surviving to infective stage or fly larvae completing pupal stage is greatly diminished. These co-pastured species effectively serve as clean-up and sanitation specialists in the system.
If you have pastured chickens and pigs, you can move them through following cattle and sheep. I recommend moving the chickens through about 3-5 days after the ruminants and then follow with the pigs.
You now have six ways to effectively control livestock parasites without the expense and complications of using chemical controls. This is a great way to reduce input costs and to significantly improve your livestock performance and health. By combining all six in your management strategy you will be quite effective at mitigating parasite issues. In short order, your animals will be healthier and happier and you'll be more profitable and happier, too.

The Flexibility of Injection Molding - In Metal
Metal injection molding offers the creative freedom of plastic injection molding - in metal. If a part can be molded in plastic, it can most likely be produced in metal with MIM. This flexibility allows designers to create organically, without the forced simplicity of dies or the cost of piece-by-piece machining. When this freedom is combined with the availability of high performance alloys and the potential for real cost reduction, MIM becomes much more than just another manufacturing technology. It becomes a powerful tool for both product design and business strategy.

In the framework of the exhibition Sense of Sound, different national and international curators discuss on the status of sound art within the field of visual arts. The interest in sound art notably increases, but curators and programmers often find it hard to display sound art in either exhibition concepts or infrastructure. Many choices – both artistically and in relation to the presentation-environment – are medium specific. The professional field often does not possess sufficient knowledge with regard to presenting a medium that is as physical as it seems elusive; hence the need for further discussion and expertise on this subject.
Carsten Seiffarth (Berlin) curates and produces exhibitions and projects on sound art in an international context. He founded and directed the pioneering sound art gallery Singuhr in Berlin. Seiffarth currently the curator of the urban sound art project Bonn Hören.
Bernd Schulz (Berlin) has been curator of the Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken for many years. He has written several monographies on sound artists like Rolf Julius, Christina Kubisch, Akio Suzuki, and other publications on the matter of Klangkunst.
Justin Luke founded Audio Visual Arts (AVA) in 2008. The gallery is based in New York and exhibits emerging and established artists and musicians. While AVA presents a range of work, the core interest is in a more adventurous and conceptual approach to sound. AVA also produces artists editions, participates in international exhibitions and art fairs, and hosts the monthly audio series Exterior Sounds.
Nicole Gingras is a researcher, independent curator and author based in Montreal. She is particularly interested in the image, be it visual, audio or textual. The exhibitions and programs she has curated and the publications under her direction as well as the seminars she has lead, deal with such notions as time, the creative process, the movements of thought, traces and memory. She has collaborated with International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA) since 2003.
Carlo Fossati has run, since 1998, e/static, a non-profit space in Torino renowned for its uncompromising work with international artists, specializing in the fields of performance and sound-related visual art. He curated many solo and group shows, as well as performances and concerts, by the likes of Rolf Julius, Terry Fox, Arnold Dreyblatt, Hans Peter Kuhn, Miki Yui, Tehching Hsieh, Steve Roden, Dominique Petitgand, Thomas Köner, Luca Vitone, Carlos Casas and many others.
He recently curated "Morton Feldman and Rolf Julius: Music for a long time", which took place in December 2012 at the Museo del Castello di Rivoli.
Joost Fonteyne (Kortrijk) directs Festival van Vlaanderen Kortrijk. He has been programming Sounding City for many years within this festival and within its predecessor Happy New Ears, an exhibition of sound art both in public space and indoor spaces across the city.

How to Provide a Swedish Massage
What is Swedish Massage? Swedish Massage is a natural, sensual massage technique used for healing purposes. The Swedish massage techniques arise from attaining complete body comfort throughout the stimulation of the five nerve points situated in and around our body. Using this technique, the therapist works with these points to discharge any muscle tension and improve circulation. Moreover, this kind of massage also helps to release emotional and mental blocks and improve flexibility and posture.
How is Swedish Massage Different? The Swedish massage therapy uses gentle pressure from both hands to stimulate and ease pain, stretchand loosen tight muscles, as well as stimulating the blood flow. Essentially, massage therapist applies long strokes using his palms or thumbs on these areas to soothe and stimulate the region. Because of this, the muscle tissues and soft tissues are relaxed as well as the blood circulates well through the region. This practice is called tapotement.
Swedish Massage and Anxiety - Studies show that Swedish massage reduces stress and enhances sleep and overall physical health. However, do these scientific findings include anxiety? There are tons of anxiety remedies offered but the most popular one is cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT). But, it's been noted that although CBT reduces stress, the patients that failed the therapy still had elevated levels of stress and worry despite the decrease of the stress symptoms. So it is believed that other factors such as the outcomes of the Swedish massage, the actual effect of the massage in addition to the psychological factors all contribute to the causes of anxiety.
What is Swedish Massage Therapy For Kids? In addition to how Swedish massage techniques can decrease stress, they also help in enhancing the health of kids. Among the reasons why Swedish massage is thought to be effective for kids is because it provides a holistic approach to healthcare which includes cleansing the body as well as the brain.
It is well-known that the body supplies its own healing mechanisms to manage physical harm or disease. When we get sick, the body generates biological methods to fight off the ailment. One of the many benefits of getting a Swedish massage, it's considered to improve biological processes in the body leading to better wellness and well-being. In a recent study, it had been discovered that both physiological responses to stress (fight or flight) are reversed by receiving routine Swedish massage. The outcomes of this study showed that the two physiological responses were entirely different and that routine Swedish massage improved the production of DHEAS (physicians and Scientists refer to this as"DAMO").
The Role of Sleep and Relaxation A major benefit of Swedish massage techniques is that it enhances the quality of sleep and comfort. When we are not well rested, we can't perform our optimal tasks effectively leading to decreased work productivity and loss of cash. Deficiency of sleep and comfort is also associated with a range of illnesses including cardiovascular disease, depression, hypertension, obesity, and cancer. The fantastic thing is there are many strategies to induce relaxation and sleep like meditation, yoga, hypnosis, massage, and deep breathing. On the other hand, the combination of these five techniques have been shown to be the most effective in healing the mind, body and spirit. Other research has shown that Swedish massage techniques can lessen symptoms of depression and stress in patients suffering from depression.
Petrissage and Effleurage Some of the most common Swedish massage techniques include petrissage and effleurage methods. They are applied on certain areas of the body. With petrissage, pressure is applied on the skin and the muscles are relaxed; using effleurage, hot oil has been poured on the skin and the muscles are heated. There are many types of petrissage and effleurage techniques including the classic cat stroke and stroke back position for back pain relief and timeless Thai back massage and wing back position for leg pain relief. With regular Swedish massage therapy, your petrissage therapist will have the ability to teach you which petrissage technique is the most effective for each particular area of the human body.
Swedish massage therapists are trained to gently knead the muscles in a soothing and curative way. They create pressure points using their hands along with a brush and gradually move the hand along the muscle before the strain stage is attained. When the pressure point has been reached, the massage therapist then uses petrissage and effleurage techniques to relax and release the tension in the muscles. When a patient undergoes a very long length of therapy, they can experience soreness at the treatment site. To decrease this soreness, the therapist may apply ice to the tender muscles. This can help relieve the soreness in addition to prevent additional swelling.

Fox News worked with a wealthy Republican donor to concoct and promote a conspiracy theory about the death of a Democratic National Committee aide in order to deflect attention away from President Trump's Russia woes, a lawsuit by a longtime Fox contributor alleges.
The tangled web involves Rod Wheeler, a former cop and Fox talking head who filed the suit on Tuesday; Ed Butowsky, a Dallas businessman and Trump donor who has also appeared on Fox News; and Malia Zimmerman, a Fox News enterprise reporter.
Wheeler says that Butowsky approached him with a proposal to investigate the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich, who was murdered last summer in what police believe was likely a mugging gone wrong. Since his death, conspiracy theories have swirled ran amok, many of them proposing that his death was part of a supposed cover-up by the DNC in retaliation for Rich's alleged contact with Wikileaks.
Wheeler now claims that Zimmerman created quotations and falsely attributed them to him in order to further the story. He also alleges that Butowsky explicitly told him that one of the main takeaways from the Seth Rich story would have to be the that the investigation into the Trump administration's Russia ties was baseless.
"One of the big conclusions we need to draw from this is that the Russians did not hack our computer systems and ste[a]l emails and there was no collusion" between "Trump and the Russians," one email from Butowsky to Wheeler reads.

The hype-train is stuck at the station.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White broke some major mixed martial arts (MMA) news on Fox Sports Live earlier tonight, and it wasn't good this time. The recently super-hyped prospect Conor McGregor will be sidelined 10 months following a complete tear to his ACL, an MCL strain and a posterior horn meniscal tear, and he will need surgery.
So much for calling out everyone in his division (and even some who weren't). A potential match-up against The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 14 winner Diego Brandao had also been brewing, but those plans have been majorly delayed.
The brash Irishman made a big splash in his UFC debut, crushing Marcus Brimage with a violent first round knockout, and he was promoted heavily leading up to his second bout in the promotion, even getting the main event treatment for his fight against Max Holloway last weekend (Aug. 17, 2013) despite fighting on the UFC Fight Night 26 preliminary card in Boston.
McGregor won a decision against Holloway, but his performance was a bit off, and he revealed in his post-fight interview that he had "felt his knee pop" in the second round.
Not a good sign.
White promised in the post-fight press conference to have the "Notorious" fighter flown out to Vegas to be treated by the best physicians in the world, but the damage had already been done.
Thankfully, McGregor makes enough noise with his mouth that he shouldn't have any problem staying relevant in the news cycle until he's fully rehabilitated. If all goes well, he might even be ready for that Ireland event in the third quarter of 2014.

text: I have a sivlerface Fender Champ and there is a loud crackiling sound that comes from the speaker. I have replaced the tubes and have ruled out the speaker as being bad. At very low volumes (barely audible) the amp sounds OK, but hit the strings hard or turn it up and the crackling sound comes out making this amp unusable at this time. I would run this amp on 10 (volume) alot of times with no problems until now. Any ideas what I should look for?

The Knights came into existence when the New York Golden Blades were taken over by the WHA, 24 games into the 1973-74 WHA season. The league moved the Golden Blades to New Jersey and renamed them the Knights. The Knights played only 54 games in New Jersey before moving to San Diego after the 1973-74 season so imagine how hard it is to find a full ticket . The full ticket is in beautiful condition.

|Fixed: Changing decoration method availability to Business Hub only now removes decorated products that become undecorated due to the change
|When setting a decoration process as Business Hub only, decorated products that use only that decoration method were still showing in the storefront without any design applied. Now decorated products using a decoration process that is configured as Business Hub only are removed.
|Fixed: On Demand statements now include orders within specified end date
|When generating on-demand statements, the end date was being excluded from the results. This has been fixed to make the end date inclusive.
|Fixed: Recognize stitch count of EMB file uploaded via artwork approval step

|Fixed: Convert CMYK images to RGB when uploaded through the Website Pages editor so colors are accurate
|Certain images changed color when uploaded through the Website Pages Editor. The problem was due to the images using CMYK color profile. Web browsers use RGB to display images. CMYK images are now converted to RGB to rectify the problem.
|Fixed: Invalid category URLs now return 404 error
Disabled category pages were being indexed by search engines. The problem has been fixed by returning a 404 error for disabled pages.
|Fixed: Purchase orders now use price based on selected supplier price level
|Purchase order prices were not using the pricing based on the price level configured for suppliers, resulting in incorrect pricing. Purchase order prices now reflect the selected price level for the supplier.
|Fixed: Inconsistent display of widget drop target indicator in Website Pages editor
|The widget drop target line in the Website Pages editor was not appearing consistently, resulting in widgets not being able to be placed. The drop line now appears more consistently.
|Fixed: Grayscale designs now auto-select decoration processes which allow gradients
Grayscale images were not being recognized as gradient images, so were not assigned to decoration processes with the "Allow gradients in low color vector design" option turned on. Greyscale images can now be used with screen printing if the option is turned on.
Note, if you previously had the "Allow gradients in low color vector design" option turned on, you will need to re-save the screen print configuration screen in order for the fix to take effect.
|Fixed: Restore ability to input line returns in text area fields.
|Pressing the Enter key in Business Hub (BH) notes fields caused BH to refresh, preventing the ability to enter multiple lines in the text fields. This has now been fixed.
|Fixed: Resolved issue with attachments with spaces in filename not loading in email history
Attempting to view customer email attachments with spaces in the filename resulted in a 404 error. Added support for spaces in filenames to rectify the problem.
|Fixed: Now filtering available order payment methods on company account area
|Credit card payments were allowed through the company account area in the storefront even though the payment option was disabled. Available payment methods are now correctly filtered in the company account area.

text: Emory Will Accept LSATs & MCATs In Lieu Of GMAT Or GRE by: John A. Byrne on August 04, 2020 | 6,510 Views August 4, 2020 Copy Link Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email Share on LinkedIn Share on WhatsApp Share on Reddit Emory University's Goizueta School of Business Emory University's Goizueta Business School says it will now accept LSAT or MCAT test scores in lieu of a GMAT or GRE for admission to its full-time MBA programs. The school is also making admissions to its evening MBA and Executive MBA programs completely test-optional. Goizueta's move follows the decision by the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business to go test-optional for its full-time MBA program this year (see At UVA Darden, A 'Crazy' 364% Jump In Round 3 MBA Applications). Increasingly, more admission officers have been reevaluating the use of standardized tests in MBA programs. Many schools waived test requirements in extended application rounds after the COVID-19 pandemic closed test centers. And several other schools, including Darden and the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, have expanded the list of standardized tests they will accept as alternatives to the GMAT or GRE. For the Fall 2021 incoming full-time MBA class, Ross will accept the MCAT, LSAT, PCAT, and DAT. Melissa Rapp, associate dean of graduate admissions at Goizueta, says the change is meant to remove a barrier to potential applicants who would be qualified to attend the school's MBA programs. "I really don't like there to be unnecessary barriers," Rapp told Poets&Quants. "Those who have performed well in their area of expertise should be recognized for that." 'THE TEST BARRIER REALLY MAKES SOME WORKING PROFESSIONALS POSTPONE APPLICATION OR GIVE UP' Melissa Rapp, associate director of MBA admissions at Goizueta Business School While the school has had a waiver process in place for both its evening MBA and Executive MBA programs, the policy change officially makes both programs test-optional. "Working professionals can demonstrate their potential to contribute in the classroom through their work experience," explains Rapp. "We have many cases where we can tell a person will be a strong contributor through their performance at work." The school believes it has missed out on a number of working professionals who would otherwise apply to attend its programs if not for the need to study for a standardized test. "I think there are a certain number of working professionals who don't apply because the test barrier really makes them postpone application and in the end give up on pursuing an MBA," reasons Rapp. "Some don't have the time to invest to study for a standardized test, and many of them haven't taken a standardized test in a decade or more." Rapp believes it may well take more time to evaluate candidates who take advantage of the test-optional change. "We have been working on an additional rubric to help us evaluate students who do not choose to submit a test score," she adds. "We are going to spend more time looking at their transcripts and digging into what type of work they have been doing and what type of results they've gotten from their work." ALSO OFFERING FREE EXEC ED COURSES TO ALL MBAS ENROLLED THIS FALL MBA applicants, of course, can still submit a GMAT or GRE score if they prefer. "Anyone who feels like a test score would help the admissions committee in understanding their academic readiness or abilities, we encourage them to take the test and that becomes another proof point in their favor," says Rapp. "And the school is still reserving the right to ask them to take the test." With incoming full-time MBA students starting their on-boarding process yesterday for a hybrid format, the school has also decided that students enrolled in its fall 2020 evening MBA, one-year MBA and two-year MBA programs will have free access to Emory Executive Education courses, a benefit already accorded to Goizueta's EMBA students. "A hybrid format isn't the ideal learning platform so we wanted to extend this benefit for students to continue their education when we are back into an in-person format," explains Rapp. "This is our way of providing more added value to the students who are demonstrating courage by enrolling during this uncertain time." NEW MBA APPLICATION LAUNCHES ONLINE ON AUG. 5 Goizueta launches its new MBA application on Aug. 5. Candidates who apply up until the round one deadline of Sept. 23, 2020 will be allowed an open interview, without the need for an invitation. Admission interviews will continue to be virtual, mostly by admissions staffers although some are conducted by Goizueta alumni. Rapp says that more than 100 two-year MBA students showed up on campus this week for its onboarding process, with the remaining part of the class experiencing the orientation exercises remotely. "We were all wearing masks and carefully distanced but they are here and getting started," adds Rapp. "It was heartening to see everyone embracing it and smiling a lot with their eyes. You could still feel the excitement and the happiness in getting started." The school had a slight increase in applications due to an extended final round. "We are really pleased with the class and the class profile," says Rapp. We've had an increase in minority students and women stayed steady at 30% of the class. It was one of the more unique rounds I read in my career in admissions over the past decade. It definitely had some real highs, folks who were very capable and would be very strong applicants in any round. A lot of them had circumstances where their employment wasn't as secure as before. We also found some folks who were opportunistic and saw that test scores could be waived and tried to take advantage of it but really weren't ready. It was a mixed bag again." Goizueta extended deferrals to a portion of its international admits due to travel restrictions or issues with student visas. "What has been nice is we've been hearing from the international students that they are starting to get visa appointments, even as early as this month," says Rapp. "So they will be able to join soon."

Choosing Pet Health InsuranceOctober 16th, 2013 by community
Pet health insurance is a good idea, but choosing a policy can be confusing. You will need to do some research to pick a plan with the level of coverage you want or need. Some plans are very basic and only cover routine visits like yearly exams and vaccinations. Other policies will cover preventative care services like routine dental cleanings. While you can't know how much coverage you will need, having an insurance plan can give you peace of mind.

Canada's ambassador of religious freedom returned home from Turkey defeated after a failed attempt to criticize the country on its human rights record.
Andrew Bennet had arrived in Turkey to discuss the expropriation of properties belonging to Christian and Jewish minorities in the country, even though Turkey is already in the process of returning such properties back to their rightful owners following the announcement of the democratization packet in October.
His concern about religious freedoms in Turkey, however, backfired, as Turkish officials immediately raised their own concerns about religious freedoms in the Canadian state of Quebec, which recently banned all open displays of religious symbols in the public sector, including headscarves.
Bennett refused to take questions on the issue, saying that his mandate did not include domestic issues and therefore he had no authority to speak on them.
However, speaking to reporters in Washington, Bennet said "People in countries overseas where religious freedom is being violated are being imprisoned, tortured, killed because of their faith."
"In Canada, we have the courts. We have the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. ... We can advance religious freedom overseas because we enjoy it in Canada. So that's the approach that I take."
At the same time Bennett praised Turkey for the strides it has taken to improve religious freedoms in the country.
Both Muslims and non-Muslim minorities have gained a number of new freedoms since the democratization packet officially removed bans on headscarves, as well as many other freedoms.Güncelleme Tarihi: 26 Şubat 2014, 17:11

In the middle of Tschiertschen lies the church from the 14th century and is an important part of the historic village center. The church of Tschiertschen houses special gems: the precious organ and wall paintings from the 15th century. The organ in the church Tschiertschen is one of the last and also largest of the so-called Toggenburg house organs. On the organ are two angels, which were probably added by a local carver and are popularly called "Badhosenengeli". The murals date back to the 15th century, when the church was built. During renovation work in 2012, these murals were only uncovered.

Let $\struct {S, \cdot}$ be an algebraic structure.
Let $\mathbf A = \sqbrk a_{m n}$ be an $m \times n$ matrix over $S$.
Let $\mathbf B = \sqbrk b_{m n}$ be an $m \times n$ matrix over $S$.
The Hadamard product of $\mathbf A$ and $\mathbf B$ is written $\mathbf A \circ \mathbf B$ and is defined as follows:
- $\mathbf A \circ \mathbf B := \mathbf C = \sqbrk c_{m n}$
- $\forall i \in \closedint 1 m, j \in \closedint 1 n: c_{i j} = a_{i j} \cdot_R b_{i j}$
Defined Operation
It needs to be noted that the operation of Hadamard product is defined only when both matrices have the same number of rows and the same number of columns.
This restriction applies to the operation of matrix entrywise addition, which can be considered as a specific application of the Hadamard product.

William Delbert Gann (June 6, 1878 – June 18, 1955) or WD Gann, was a trader who developed the technical analysis tools known as Gann angles, Square of 9, hexagon, Circle of 360 (these are Master charts). Gann Market forecasting methods are based on geometry, astronomy, and astrology, and ancient mathematics. Opinions are sharply divided on the value and relevance of his work.Gann wrote a number of books on trading.
W.D. Gann described the use of angles in the stock market in The Basis of My Forecasting Method (1935). Calculating a Gann angle is equivalent to finding the derivative of a particular line on a chart in a simple way. Each geometrical angle (which is really a line extended into space) divides time and price into proportionate parts. The most important angle Gann called the 1×1 or the 45° angle, which he said represented one unit of price for one unit of time. If you draw a perfect square and then draw a diagonal line from one corner of the square to the other, you have illustrated the concept of the 1×1 angle, which moves up one point per day.
There has been a general disagreement whether he made profits by speculation himself. However, his famous Ticker Interview shows that his claim to profits was as real as his documented forecasts.
-Via Wikipedia
W.D. Gann's 28 Trading Rules
1. Never risk more than 1/10th of your capital on one trade
2. Use stop losses
3. Never over trade
4. Never let a profit run into a loss
5. Don't buck the trend
6. When in doubt get out
7. Trade only in active markets
8. Do equal distribution of risks
9. Never limit your orders. Trade at the market
10. Don't close out without a good reason
11. Accumulate a surplus. After a series of successful trades put some money into an account for emergencies
12. Never buy or sell just to get a scalping profit
13. Never average a loss. This is one of the worst mistakes a trader can make
14. Never get out just because you have lost patience or get in because you're anxious from waiting
15. Avoid small profits and big losses
16. Never cancel a stop loss order after you placed it at the time you made the trade
17. Avoid getting into or out of the market too often
18. Be as willing to short as to buy. Let your object be to keep to the trend
19. Never buy because the price is low or sell because the price is high
20. Be careful about pyramiding at the wrong time. Wait until the asset is active and has crossed resistance levels before buying more and until it's broken out of zone of distribution before selling more
21. Select the commodities that show strong uptrend to pyramid on the buying side and the ones that show definite downtrend to sell short
22. Never hedge. If you're long one and it starts to go down, don't sell something else short to hedge it. Take your losses and get out and wait for another opportunity
23. Never change your position in the market without a good reason
24. Avoid increasing your trading after a long period of success
25. Don't guess at tops or bottoms. Let the market prove it. By following definite rules you can do this
26. Don't follow another's advice unless he knows more than you do
27. Reduce trading after the first loss. Never increase
28. Avoid getting in wrong and out wrong

Goodbyes tend to be hard.á There is something about a reneged commitment that instantly creates a mixture of awkwardness and tension amongst two once-agreeable parties. This off-season, Bay Area hockey fans were forced to say sayonara to several signature players who grew up within the Sharks organization and captured their hearts with a season or two of amazing play. á In my mind, giving these guys the old heave-ho couldnÆt have happened a minute sooner. ááIt will be strange seeing these guys don colors other than teal, but hey, thatÆs the business of sports.á As many know, Albert Einstein defined insanity as ôdoing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.ö If this is true, then peddling Jonathan C ...

NEW GIRL is losing that new-show gleam.
FOX: Whether it's been caused by the accumulated agony of FOX's 4-sitcom schedule (with I Hate My Teenage Daughter and Raising Hope reruns as lead-ins), the reality results shows on the competing networks, or just viewers deciding they're not as much in love with Zooey Deschanel as they thought they were, New Girl has been getting killed over the past month. (It's not a quality issue: recent episodes have been as smart and likable as ever.) Last night's 2.3, 3rd place in the timeslot, wasn't just a new series low, it represented more than a 50% drop from the show's high-ratings mark. What looked like it could be FOX's new comedy franchise is now only a medium-level success, and if the return of Glee next week doesn't provide any rescue, the network is going to have to figure out how to stop the bleeding. Meanwhile, BREAKING IN (which has now all but abandoned its original caper-of-the-week concept and become an ordinary workplace comedy) hit a new season low, and RAISING HOPE was just 0.1 above its own.
NBC: THE VOICE sang just loudly enough at 9PM to give the network a tie for a night when CBS was in repeats. Voice's 3.2 was the highest rating of the night, although considerably down from Monday's regular episode. (The Dancing With the Stars results show, while lower-rated, did a much better job of holding the Monday audience.) THE BIGGEST LOSER narrowly won its hour with 2.0, only 0.1 above its season low. FASHION STAR limped to a series-low-tying 1.5.
ABC: Another DANCING WITH THE STARS recap special was down a bit to 1.8, and then the results hour, dented by the arrival of the Voice results, scored a 2.7 that was down 0.4 from last week (but as noted, a fine retention of Monday's 2.9). BODY OF PROOF, benefiting from a stronger lead-in and very weak competition, actually won its hour with a 2.0
CBS: A trio of repeats that was low-rated even by the standards of those series' recent repeats, with none reaching a 2.0.
CW: RINGER, heading toward its season (and very possibly series) finale, could only get to a 0.4, barely up from its repeat 90210 lead-in.
Tonight's season finale of HAPPY ENDINGS will again be the only non-repeat on ABC, and one can only hope the network won't hold its inevitably terrible rating against the show. NBC launches the comedy reality show OFF THEIR ROCKERS and then the sitcom BEST FRIENDS FOREVER, before bidding adieu to the final flagrantly dumped hour of Bent.

Too Good To Go recipe: tabbouleh revisited with quinoa, cucumber and strawberries
Discover a new recipe concocted by Too Good To Go and Free the Pickle: 100% zero-waste, 200% pleasure. A surprising blend of seasonal fruits and vegetables to delight you and titillate your taste buds!
Ingredients for 6 persons
- 250g of quinoa
- 1 cucumber
- 250g of strawberries
- ½ bunch of radishes (125g)
- 1 fresh onion
- 1 handful of crushed pistachios
- ½ bunch of mint
- Juice of 3 limes
- 6 tbsps. of olive oil
- Salt
- Rinse the quinoa to remove the saponin (the substance that coats the quinoa grains).
- Cook the quinoa in boiling water for about 15 minutes. After 10 mins check to avoid overcooking. The Quinoa is cooked when fully translucent. Once cooked, drain the quinoa and run it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Put to the side.
- While the quinoa is cooking, wash and prepare all the fruit and vegetables. Using a vegetable peeler, cut the cucumber into tagliatelle-shaped strips. Cut the radishes into thin strips (or use a mandolin), slice the fresh onion and cut the strawberries into quarters. Keep the strawberry stems for the vinaigrette.
- Once the quinoa is cooked and drained, mix all the salad ingredients in a large bowl and add the crushed pistachios.
- For the vinaigrette, chop the small bunch of mint and strawberry stems. Put in a bowl, add the lime juice and olive oil, salt to taste and mix well. Add the vinaigrette to the salad just before serving!
- Good to know: the salad can be eaten the same day or kept in the fridge without the vinaigrette for up to 24 hours.

Hello Commanders, Epy here, Community Manager at Focus Home Interactive. We propose today to discover in depth the gameplay mechanics relating to the construction and development of your base in Etherium.
To allow you to focus on the strategic aspect and macro management, we have decided not to move towards a Base Building system but rather to a mono-structural system with one building per territory improved by a variety of extensions. This will allow you to focus on your positioning, on the army you want to make or on the battlefield itself and without being dragged into a race for the APM.
Each battlefield, for each planet is split between several territories. At the beginning of each game, you will see you're invading force's masterpiece landing and settling onto the ground of your initial area. Once deployed, the game begins and you can start your invasion by taking control of nearby territories thanks to four different sizes of structures which can be ameliorated with some extensions:
- The Palace, serving as an alternative for the Control Center, is only available while playing the campaign or 2vs2 skirmish for one player of each side and offer 9 extensions slots.
- The Control Center, the base of any planetary invasion (unless replaced by a Palace) which can support up to 6 extensions.
- Colonies, which allows you to create operational bases and offer 3 extensions slots.
- Outposts, basically a structure that allows you to support largest colonies and which can only support one extension.
Each of these structures allows you to take control of territories. You will be able to specialize them thanks to the extensions which are available in four distinct types:
- Ressources Upgrades: Etherium refinery, ComSat relay, Technological center and Logistics centers
- Area Upgrades: Spaceport, Supply bay, Repair bay and Force field generator
- Global Upgrades: Orbital Canons
- Upgrades specific and exclusive to each faction: Hall of the Praetorians for the Intars, Life Cell storage for the Vectides and Military-Industrial Complex for the Consortium.
We will come back soon in another article to describe in depth each extension, but don't forget that each choice to place them on your structures will need to be maturely thought to allow you to ensure your dominance and to win the war for Etherium.

Scammer Accidentally Calls Radio Station And JT Messes With Him
I've said it once and I'll say it again. I hate scam phone calls. I try to keep up to date with what's going on, not only in the Quad Cities when it comes to scams, but also in the Midwest in general. Scam phone calls usually target older people trying to scare and threaten them into giving out private information, or even giving the scammers money. I always want to keep my family updated.
They try to scare you and make you panic. These people are cruel, but these scammers are also dummies that tend to follow a script. I had a great time messing with one.
Today, a scammer tried to call into the B100 request line. (It seems as though even radio station's numbers are ending up on their call lists.) The call starts with a threating message about the IRS and jail time. It then tells you to press 1.
I talked to the guy for about 3 minutes giving a fake name "Jeremy Trueman" and just tried to waste his time and keep him from calling someone else. I also wanted to make sure we could write down his number to report him.
Here is that call:
It is important to check in with older family members and warn them about these calls. As you can see they are very threatening, and sometimes scary. Scam calls are right here in the QC, and clearly they will target anyone.
Hopefully they call back so I can say my name is "JOB" so it lines up with their last name. Wasting scammers time in the QC would be a fun series.

Throughout the entire construction of her new River North store, Ikram has said little about the project. When the windows recently were installed, we thought they may be stained glass because of the spokes within the frame and the locations proximity to the cathedral district. Or if not stained glass, then maybe tinted glass? After checking in, we found out that the windows will just be one really big pane of glass without spokes.
The armatures that are there now are only templates for the actual windows which are being made right now. The window will have one skinny piece of shiny metal outlining the window. With larger windows like these and a shiny frame, Ikram is bound to dress more mannequins and install more elaborate displays.
