The online trading system only allows the investor to trade through forex or by binary means. These methods are Touch Options and Boundary options.Touch options allow for the trader or investor to have an easier time navigating around the trade industry. Many brokers have already anticipated and made available a more diversified way of trading through binary methods. The same way you get them anywhere else. Leading the way was Bitcoin, which yielded holders a return of -0.11% from the day prior. In aggregate since yesterday, the "fab five" — Litecoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Ripple — were down -0.7%. It's 'back-end' is much different than the larger currencies like Etherium or Bitcoin use. I think crypto currencies are just a means to an end. How do you act when you are on magic mushrooms? I act fine on magic mushrooms. If you are in possession of a small amount the police will not fine you.

In certain regions, the mushrooms will grow out of moist cow droppings. Magic Mushrooms were found million years ago in East Africa. Are magic mushrooms found in TN? What are some myths about magic mushrooms? However, growing magic mushrooms is typically illegal. Typically, growing magic mushrooms is illegal and can lead to severe legal consequences. If you travel to Hawaii can you buy magic mushrooms there legally? You buy them, you grow them, or you find them. What is the cheapest place to buy Bicycle cards? How can you tell magic mushrooms from poisonous mushrooms? What Does Transaction Data Tell Us? Ethereum's transaction fee was also greater than Ripple's, suggesting consumers are opting for Ethereum in spite of its higher fees. No, magic mushrooms (as well as the chemicals psilocin and psilocybin, which these mushrooms contain) are illegal. Although it is possible to test for the chemicals contained within magic mushrooms, standard drug tests do not test for these substances.
What type of drug are magic mushrooms classified as? Magic mushrooms come in only 2 real species, neither of which are "lepta" mushrooms. Is lepta mushrooms magic mushrooms? Do magic mushrooms have health benefits? Specific cows do not produce magic mushrooms. There is no specific interaction between psilocybin mushrooms (normally know as magic mushrooms) and aspirin. Magic mushrooms stimulant or depressant? The Dutch government banned Magic mushrooms in December 2008. Despite this ban some smart shops still sell dried mushrooms. It is still in its infancy, the masses don't use it, don't understand it and don't see a use for it. I see the potential in what the IOTA folks are trying to accomplish. They require a minimal investment of time the yield is as high if not higher than traditional trading but you don't have to waste a huge amount of time if you are trying to make some quick money. I have a small amount of crypto.
307,286,464 US dollars. Bitcoin's dominance of the crypto market remains intact, with it now accounting for approximately 56.95 % of the value of all circulating cryptocurrencies, up ever so slightly from the day prior. The crypto I've followed for about 2 years now is called IOTA. I equate it to stocks right now. An extended test may screen for magic mushrooms, but it is uncommon for these tests to be administered unless there is a reason to test for magic mushrooms specifically (ie after an arrest for possession of mushrooms). Trend traders may wish to keep an eye on Litecoin. Those coins haven't had a clear price trend over the past 14 days. It has clearly exhibited a bullish trend over the past two weeks. Ethereum recorded 927,409 transactions on its blockchain over the past 24 hours; that's the best of the bunch, and about 28% over Ripple, which had the second most transactions recorded on its chain.
That end is having safe, unanimous, decentralized digital transactions done. This means that with the touch and boundary options, your profits remain high without having to drag out the analysis process. Out of the five coins observed here, none cryptocurrencies were up — which indicates a wave of bearishness befell the sector as a whole as a whole. How Did the Fab Five Finish? They contain psilocybin and similar tryptamines, but not methamphetamine. The psilocybin in the mushrooms make you hallucinate. What time of year do magic mushrooms grow in the UK? By far the most appealing incentives about these options is that they have a quicker turnover time. Yesterday was a fairly normal day for all of these cryptocurrencies, in the sense that they fluctuated within the normal daily range we have come to suspect them to move within. If you're looking for coins void of a clear directional trend, look no further than Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. On the flip side, the worst performer was Bitcoin Cash coming in at -1.27%. But that's it, at this point for a guy like me, it's 100% speculation. It's like trying to explain coins or paper money to a pre-columbian native tribe.

Robot systems – six axes working for you
We are in a position to offer highly complex systems thanks to our longstanding experience in designing, building, and programming robot systems. And we're not tied to any one robot manufacturer – instead, we use Kuka, Stäubli, or Fanuc robots depending on what use they'll be employed for.
The robot systems can optionally be equipped with our specially developed process stations such as the measuring, deburring, labelling, and cleaning stations. Connections to high-bay warehouses for parts storage are also possible and have already been implemented.

Campus facilities will remain closed at least until May 18
Friday, May 1, 2020 12:00 PM
Pittsburg, KS
Pittsburg State University announced today that campus facilities will remain closed at least until May 18, aligning with the expected end of Phase 1 of Ad Astra: A Plan to Reopen Kansas that Gov. Kelly shared publicly Thursday night.
The plan allows for gatherings of fewer than 10 people and enables the reopening of some businesses, including restaurants, as long as safety protocols are followed. Social distancing, limiting travel, mask wearing, and telework remain strongly encouraged.
PSU employees working from home will continue to do so at this time, while essential personnel who already are coming to campus for work will continue to do so. Personnel will return as necessary in order to support campus operations. Social distancing will be required for those on campus, and departments will take additional precautionary measures as necessary.
To comply with the order approved by Crawford County, any employees reporting to campus for work will be required to complete a daily questionnaire about their health as it relates to COVID-19 symptoms, and about activities they in which they participated in that caused potential exposure to an infected person.
"This is no doubt the beginning of a process to reopen our campus, but this cannot happen overnight," said PSU President Steve Scott. "The health and safety of our campus community is paramount. We will continue to carefully monitor the situation and assess needs, making adjustments as we go."

How-To Videos
By: Danny Lipford
Here are some tips to consider when installing tile on a concrete slab outdoors, such as on a porch or patio.
When installing tile outside:
- Choose a tile with a slip resistant surface that's rated for outdoor use.
- Porcelain tile is more durable and absorbs water less than ceramic tile.
- Clean the concrete slab thoroughly before laying tile.
- Apply a waterproofing membrane, such as RedGard, to the slab before tiling.
- Use a polymer-modified, dry-set mortar adhesive that's rated for outdoor use.
- Cover the slab completely with the tile adhesive, and apply it to the back of the tiles as well.
- Choose a grout that resists stains and fading.
Watch this video to find out more.
Further Information
Danny Lipford: Often, people want to cover a concrete patio or porch with tile and need to know how that differs from indoor tile installation.
For starters, moisture and cracking are bigger concerns outside, so you need to apply a waterproofing and crack-isolating membrane to the slab before you begin. This RedGard goes on pink and turns red when it's dry.
To secure the tiles, use a polymer-modified, dry-set mortar that is rated for outdoor use and wet conditions. Full coverage of the mortar's very important, so it's a good idea to back butter the titles in addition to applying mortar on the slab.
The tile itself should also be rated for outdoor use, and, as a general rule, porcelain tends to be more durable than ceramic. Of course, it should also have a slip-resistant surface.
Finally, choose a grout that will resist stains and fading, so your project will still look good for years to come.

The Surreal News 9-10 AM Friday 12-20-19
Written by Lew Lorini on Thursday, December 19, 2019
Among the thorniest problems facing the country and society is a lack of affordable housing. Here in Sarasota a large percentage of the population currently spend close to half their wages on a place to stay. That is unsustainable for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that those folks are usually a lost paycheck or minor emergency away from being homeless. The Florida Housing Coalition (FHC) is commonly acknowledged as the foremost authority in Florida on housing that is affordable, homelessness, community development and related issues, as a clearinghouse for information, a provider of training and technical assistance, and an advocate at the state and national levels for people in need of housing that is affordable. Jaimie Ross (above) FHC CEO of will join Steve and Lew to discuss what is being done and what can be done to alleviate his pressing issue.

As with everything in 2020, VIRTUAL house tour of my new home is how most people will just have to see it for now.
I put together mood boards for the nursery, but otherwise, I just made purchases that fit with my aesthetic of "bright and airy meets bohemian meets 70's polished," kind of like my wardrobe. After years of living in cramped apartments, "uncluttered" and "organized" were two key things I wanted to stick to. It's still a work in progress, but I'd love to hear what you guys think!

Michelle Carter, a Massachusetts woman who encouraged her boyfriend to commit suicide through text messages, was sentenced today (Aug. 3) to two-and-a-half years in jail after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter. She will have to serve at least 15 months of her sentence, which for now is stayed as the case is appealed.
Carter, 17 when her boyfriend Conrad Roy III died sitting in a truck he filled with carbon monoxide, was convicted by a juvenile court in June. Roy, 18, had texted Carter from the truck to say he was scared, but she told him to "get back in," following similar texts in which she urged him to go through with his plan to kill himself. Prosecutors said Carter was desperate for attention and wanted to be seen as a grieving girlfriend, while her defense said she had a history of mental illness — as did Roy himself.
Carter's conviction is a controversial one, as Quartz's Ephrat Livni reported in June. The judge ruled that Carter had a duty to inform authorities of Roy's plans and urge him not to commit suicide, since she created the "toxic" situation in the first place. But there is no law in Massachusetts that requires someone to report a suicide attempt, or that bans encouraging it. The verdict could set a new legal precedent.

The Story of Job
Recently, after the group met for our weekly session, it occurred to me that maybe my insistence on Pongers playing a certain way – MY WAY – was not the Right Way. Maybe My Way Or The Highway is not the most prudent or tactful approach to teaching Ping Pong to this guy named Job (I changed his name because I don't wanna get sued.)
Suppose a novice player like Job says: I enjoy playing the way I play, even if it's unorthodox and even if my potential for improvement is limited by my insistence on hitting the ball as I do. What should the instructor do in such a situation? (Put another way, what if the instructor has no patience for Job?)
Well, I've been attempting to explain that with proper strokes there will be improvement. Not only that, but there is also a commensurate joy derived from playing better. The ability to keep the ball in play and even hitting 'winners' is fun – much more fun than inconsistent play. To humble your opponent with an unreturnable smash – does it get any better? (says the sadist). And, yet, the ping pong novice continues to dissent. I like playing the way I play, he protests, I enjoy the game already, regardless of the fact that I'm not going to make the Ping Pong Hall of Fame.
Holy smokes! Did you hear that? Jeez, I'm really taken aback by this rebellious attitude. Stupefied (!) and shocked (!), probably because this kind of thinking is not in synch with my own. I mean I want to be in the Ping Pong Hall of Fame! (You know someone I can bribe?) And, then, when I tell my Cockapoo (a doggie) all about this, he only yawns. I think he's telling me that Ping Pong is only a game, that there's more important stuff in life (like Alpo prime cuts). After thoughtfully considering the point, I kinda gravitate to that same viewpoint – his. Maybe we're not all destined for greatness. Maybe some people don't consider a 2000 point ping pong rating to be crucial or even significant in their life. Maybe some people don't care about such stuff. Maybe my values are not universal – maybe even wrongheaded. Maybe it is I who should envy this person who's ping pong interests lie in another direction – toward exercise and health and socialization … and FUN! Maybe there's another world out there waiting for me to discover.
Take home message: Maybe I shouldn't torment Job the way Satan did back in the day. Lao Du

Piers Morgan kicked off his return to GMB on Tuesday morning with an explosive interview with Piers Corbyn, the brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The wide-ranging interview took place after Piers Corbyn said he was slapped with a £10,000 fine under newly-introduced coronavirus laws for organising an anti-lockdown protest in central London.
As the interview kicked off, Piers Morgan introduced him by saying: "He's controversially denied the existence of climate change, doubted coronavirus and promoted unfounded theories about 5G, and now Piers Corbyn has become one of the first people to be fined £10,000 under coronavirus laws restricting large gatherings."
Corbyn immediately corrected Susanna Reid, saying "35,000" attended the rally organised by him in London, rather than hundreds.
The interview, lasting 12 minutes, regularly dissolved into shouting – with Dr Hilary Jones saying Piers Corbyn "shouldn't be on air" and his statements were 'littered with errors'.
Interjecting in the interview, he took aim at Corbyn's claims over hydroxychloroquine and zinc as a cure for coronavirus, saying they had been 'dissed' already by 'hundreds of different experts'.
However, drawing the controversial interview to a close, Piers Morgan went on an explosive rant.
Piers Corbyn said: "We're giving the government a chance to prove under standard tests that it exists"

About The Movie:
Annie Park (Sustad) is a whip-smart lawyer who specializes in child adoptions. When her family's beloved neighborhood eatery, The Starlight Café, is slated for demolition, she vows to put a stop to it. William Holt (Campbell), the free-wheeling heir to the development firm responsible, makes her an unlikely proposition: he'll spare the café if Annie spends the week "appearing" as the stringent legal counsel his father is demanding he hire in the wake of some careless and costly mistakes. Helping get Will's father off his back for a week seems a small price to pay to save her parents' beloved café and she agrees. But when Annie oversteps and commits Will's firm to hosting a lavish Christmas fundraising event at the Starlight, he saddles her with planning it, something she's never done before. With one misstep after another, Annie's efforts to pull off the impossible look doomed to fail. The more Annie and Will's vastly different worlds collide, the more sparks begin to fly. And when push comes to shove, they discover just how similar they really are and without even knowing it, those sparks may have fanned into a flame.
"Christmas by Starlight" is produced by Christmas Diner Pictures, Inc. Stan Spry and Eric Woods are executive producers. Anthony Fankhauser is co-executive producer with Devan Towers as co-producer. Gary Yates directed from a story by Paul Campbell & Kimberley Sustad and screenplay by Campbell.

Nadi Town is Not Nadi City
Following two articles, one on the Nadi/Lautoka four lane and a second on a 'City by the Sea', both in the Fiji Sun, a number of responses were received about the regeneration of Nadi Town being made the priority.
The other two projects being put on the back burner so that the budgets could be diverted to making Nadi the vibrant heart of the area.
Generally the alternative proposals revolved around putting in new bridges at both ends of town to alleviate the huge traffic jams that occur during peak hours, mainly in the morning when vehicles are trying to get into or proceed through the single two lane street that is the main thoroughfare.
The holdup at the bridges is because the traffic in Nadi is grid-locked.
There were a number of other solutions aimed at addressing the difficult parking problems and adding amenities such as public toilets, rest areas, parks and open spaces any city should have.
The interesting thing is that, while the responders talked about the possibility of Nadi shortly becoming a city, their concept of Nadi City appears to be limited to the Old Town area pinched in between the two river systems and the Nadi back road.
There was also almost no mention of the issue of the annual flooding of the same area, created by the fact that the Old Town was built in the wrong place on a flood plain, a situation that would not be allowed to happen now.
It is true that the Japanese International Co-operation Agency (JICA) proposal, now broadly accepted by Government, will significantly reduce the flood issues, but even the most optimistic timelines extend out over many years.
Most of the issues bought up by the responders relate to traffic and parking and are particularly concerned about the slow trip to reach the roundabout at each end of town.
I have never seen a traffic count of the vehicles entering Nadi Town by final destination but I am sure that at least half keep going and exit the Old Town for a destination further out.
Such a count would be very enlightening.
There is a strong argument being discussed for the road starting at Wailoaloa junction to keep going after Narewa, cross the River and come out on the Highway somewhere near the Jack's Navo facility, bypassing the town and feeding Martintar and Namaka one way and the southern suburbs the other way.
This would certainly reduce Nadi through traffic.
Under the Nadi City proposal the managing body, the council, would collect rates from property owners in an areas that includes Votualevu.
Rates would also be collected from all the developments out past the airport, areas to the east of the back road, Denarau and the Wailoaloa area behind the airport as well as extending incorporated areas south along the highway.
If Nadi is to ever become a true city, all the areas included in the new boundaries should be considered for the part they can play in creating a new, vibrant and internationally recognised city.
Nadi City is the whole, and any focus on the current Nadi Town is wrong given, that the majority of the revenue will be contributed by properties outside the Old Town.
Investors are already recognising the fact that the new Nadi City area offers opportunities and they are taking advantage of this.
The opportunity was created not by the announcement of the concept of Nadi City (yet to become a reality) but by the completion of the four lane highway from the airport to Wailoaloa Junction, which had an immediate and exciting effect on all the commercial activity in the areas it connects.
There is now almost as much commercial activity in the area of the new road as in the Old Town, and it is increasing every day.
Fiji Airways are investing a huge sum in the new Flight Academy in Namaka, and creating a very stylish building.
Just off the main road, particularly in Commercial Street, the food choice is now excellent and a number of Government offices have relocated.
International gateway
Town and country will attest to the large jump in construction applications that have appeared in the last twelve months and the estate agents are being kept very busy.
With the acceptance of the Nadi City concept and putting Nadi Town into perspective, a better and more modern plan can be developed, achieving the Government's objective to make Nadi City a true international gateway to what has become the hub of the South Pacific.
How will Nadi City help with the problems of the Old Town area?
Firstly a significantly lower number of vehicles will want to try to push through Nadi and that will have a positive effect on the blockages.
Assisting this will be the shift of vehicles doing business or shoppers and people seeking entertainment to other areas.
Martintar has been growing rapidly of late because of the great access and it will continue to expand.
Tu's Place in Martintar is, according to Trip Advisor, the single most popular restaurant in Nadi and other establishments are renovating and improving their game.
A large new shopping and commercial complex is about to be built opposite Namaka Primary School.
Developing for the future
Those interested in the future of the current Nadi Town need to start serious planning on how to develop it for the future.
Many major cities in the world have an Old Town area, and they are generally successful commercially with both tourists and locals.
Or the Old Town area can continue to fight change, but the future will be hard to stop.
In doing this, it is necessary to drop entrenched interests and look at the whole.
The town is an old commercial centre which is now struggling to compete with commercial development all around the town such as Nadi back road developments, Malolo, Navo and Korovuto commercial subdivision and the whole of Wailoaloa, Martintar, Namaka and Votualevu, Legalega and Waimalika next to Nadi Airport.
And, of course, Denarau Island.
There are plans for commercial development for Naisoso Island and Fantasy Island and Denarau Waters.
So, instead of building extra bridges into Nadi town it would be worth investing on creating more roads outside of Nadi Town centre since there will come a time when traffic passing through Nadi Town will be reduced.
And unless some good planning is done to revive Nadi Town it could risk being forgotten by many people.

Today we whipped over to Italy for the day – on the train to Ventimiglia (or Vintimille if you're in France and reading train timetables). Doesn't that sound cool? Just whip over to Italy – 45 minutes. Although Nice and Ventimiglia are in different countries today, they were both once part of Piedmont-Savoy, and had in fact shared the same noble family when the Count of Ventimiglia married the Lascaris heir from Nice. It's only since about 1860 Nice 'separated', becoming part of France, leaving Ventimille to become part of the new Italy being created by Garibaldi (in fact a Niçoise) and his redshirts. (Place Garibaldi complete with large statue of him is our local Place or Piazza here in old Nice.)
Anyway back to Italy… We caught the train from yet another train station (Tina is amazing navigating all the different buses and trains timetables and points of arrival and departure!) and enjoyed the trip along the coast through what were no doubt little fishing villages once, but now merge quite a bit and are what springs to mind when one thinks of the rich Rivieria – that amazing water colour, even though the day was quite overcast and hazy, the olive trees, graceful and elegant villas, and basically peeking over the back fences as we went by and seeing how the rich and famous slum it.
The train then went into a longer than usual tunnel and stopped at what was the station for Monaco. A rapid announcement in French seemed to make everyone get out of our carriage and off the train so we thought we should too. Then the train started up again and choofed off and we could see there were still people in it in other carriages! Should we have stayed on? When was the next one! Now we'd have to buy another ticket! Trying to get answers ended up going for a long escalator ride, and eventually a young man in an office who offhandedly told us to just get on the train from another platform. He made a half hearted attempt to explain what had happened (memories of Digne and large rock on tracks sprang to mind) but then gave up and said, just get on it.
Coming into Ventimiglia, the buildings looked rather dirty and 'down-at-heel'. Nothing much was open because we were there on Sunday and of course with most of the shop windows shut and barred it wasn't the best time to 'meet' a new town! We found out the best day to come was Friday – market day…oh well. Lots of Italian flags fluttered down the streets and it looked like there must be some upcoming sports event, or something festive, but it wasn't happening today. There were certainly indications of past grandeur in the architecture which we enjoyed, and while we'd been amused at some of the parking practices in Nice, the creative parking exploits here left Nice for dead!
At first there were just no women around. That seemed sort of strange too. Groups of older men chatting, but there also seemed to be heaps of young men just lurking – either sitting in small groups or just lurking. On the return train, the police came on board a few times at a couple of stops and dragged several of these young guys off – handcuffed and all so we can only surmise that many of them try to get over into France – when France doesn't want them.
As church finished women began to appear all dressed up with children in tow who had obviously been representing the whole family at church. The feel of the place changed with this new energy.
We found a nice little ristorante with lovely friendly proprietors and really enjoyed our lunch. For me, the most simple and tasy pizza I've ever had, and blood orange juice, freshly squeezed and undiluted. Mmm wouldn't mind that again now!
Back in Nice we happened upon yet another little classical concert – a trio – piano, cello and violin playing Liszt – in the old Palais Lascaris right in the centre of the old part of Nice. Very appropriate to where we had just been, this place was built in the 1600's for the Counts of Lascaris-Ventimille. It had extraordinary, ornate woodwork and tapestries and is now a museum housing a collection of historic instruments – harps, various stringed instruments that are earlier versions of the violin and cello, an ancestral version of the basoon, as well as pianos and if my memory serves me correctly, an ancient clavichord! (related to the harpsichords).
So here we were again, the Baronesses from Bilgola, propped up in the front row with Nice's cultural elite and the little concert began. Unfortunately it wasn't quite what we had hoped. Tina now has a grudge against Liszt and thinks all his music must be 'sooooo durgy – and music to cut your wrists by.' Heather has been trying to convince her since that it certainly was an unusual choice of Liszt program by any standard, and may even have been much improved with a different cellist.
In honour of our day in Italy and trip to the Palais Lascaris we had pasta and salad for dinner. Actually everybody raves about the food here but to be honest, so far the only meal I've enjoyed at a restaurant has been the half dozen prawns I had when we ate with Sue and Dominique. I've enjoyed the home cooked dinners the best.
Monday was an 'at home day' – Heather worked on the website and I did some washing. We have a rather unique little washing machine tucked in the corner of the kitchen between the fridge, the sink and the wall. We found out why pretty quickly. When it spin-dries it rattles and wobbles and shakes so violently that it physically has to be restrained. I peered in the kitchen at one stage to see Heather with one leg out-stretched and leaning to control the thing. I'm sure everybody down to the first floor knows when this machine is on. If left unattended anything on the sink invariably dances and shudders till it crashes into the sink.

Chief Joseph O'Connor and the Concord Police Department are seeking to remind residents of key safety tips after a black bear was sighted by a resident on Tuesday.
Early this morning, a Lowell Road resident notified Concord Police that they had seen a small black bear, likely a juvenile, walking in their back yard. The bear eventually wandered off and did not harm anyone or have any interaction with people.
"Black bears, as we know, are a part of life in Massachusetts. A sighting does not indicate a threat to public safety, but we should all be aware of best practices to take at our homes and businesses in order to coexist with wildlife," Chief O'Connor said. "I would ask all residents to review the safety tips below and do your best to adhere to them."
If a resident sees a bear in town:
• Leave the bear alone. Do not approach, feed, interact with, or in any way engage with a bear.
• Do not try to follow or track the bear.
Bears, especially black bears, generally avoid people. If you chase a black bear, it may find its way into traffic or into a group of bystanders, creating a serious risk to the bear and public safety. Bears often climb trees to avoid people and will come down on their own when they are ready.
If you would like to minimize the likelihood that a bear will enter your yard or linger in your yard, please review these tips from the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife:
• Avoid filling bird feeders: Bears that find a bird feeder will often revisit that site, month after month, year after year. Bird feeders, bird seed, corn and other bird foods can draw bears into closer proximity to people and often result in bears losing their fear of people.
• For those people who enjoy birds in their yard, MassWildlife suggests growing native plants, shrubs, and trees to attract birds. Adding a water feature is a big draw for birds. Taking these actions may increase the diversity of birds you see and will prevent the unnatural feeding of bears and other kinds of neighborhood wildlife.
• Bring empty bird feeders inside, as even empty ones may have a lingering scent that may draw a bear
• Take a close look at your yard for potential bear food sources such as bird feeders, pet food, dirty barbecue grills, open compost, or trash and remove the food sources immediately.
• Never leave pet food stores outside
If you come face to face with a bear:
Remain calm, talk to the bear in a calm voice (try 'hey bear, hey bear") and slowly back away and leave the area. If a bear approaches or follows you, make yourself look bigger by putting your arms above your head. Continue to repeat "hey bear" in a calm voice and back away and leave the area while monitoring the bear.

Well now we are in September I guess it is officially autumn. The mornings are definitely cooler though I have been enjoying the sunny days. With my pregnancy progressing (and the joys of SPD) it is getting harder for me to get out and about with Monkey. We manage but there isn't quite the amount of walks and time outside that there used to be. Meaning I have to find ways to entertain him at home.
On the whole he is a lot more easier these days but it is nice to try a new activity sometimes so I thought we would try some autumnal painting this week. My attempts to guide Monkey down a crafting route rarely succeed so I usually let him have completely free reign to create what he likes. But he is growing up all of the time and you don;t know how they will get on with something if you don't try, and as he has been loving colouring in some of my amazing drawings when we draw a road, I thought he may like to do something similar with painting.
So when I was setting up the painting stuff I quickly drew a couple of trees, in the hope that he would like to either fingerprint or paint some leaves onto the trees.
He was dead excited when he saw the trees and I painted a few dots on to give him an idea of what he could do….
Then he dove straight in and painted all over the paper. Lol, was worth a try but after that I very much sat back and let him create as he wished. Clearly not bothered yet about making a picture that resembles anything and he had fun so that was all that mattered. They are nice autumnal colours too hehe.
He was very proud of his pictures too as he insisted on showing them to his Aunt & Uncle when they popped round later that day.

Connate water is nothing more than water that was trapped in the interstices, the spaces has come to be hollow spaces between the grains of the rock, pores, etc-of sediments during deposition of a watershed. However we should not be confused with the formation water or pore water.
Strictly speaking, training or interstitial water is composed of connate water and more water that migrated to the formation after the sediments were deposited and, though often the term often used almost connate water with formation water as equivalent.
The name of connate water is also known as (and their synonyms, so to speak) innate water, water juvenile synergistic water, connate water, fossil water, etc.

Is it worth it? - QoS VoIP traffic for GW to internet.
Hi All,
I'm using PFSENSE as my internet gateway for comcast business class internet. I currently use VoIP.ms as my SIP voip provider and would like to find a way to prioritize the traffic.
My issue here is that others in the house will load up a youtube video and kill my VoIP quality. It's my understanding that QOS is only as good as the two connection points over a dedicated link where ALL traffic is passing.
I suppose what I'm looking for here is too cap / slow the youtube traffic when I have VoIP traffic on the network.
Hey rbblue8,
I too use voip.ms over IAX2 though. Now I am no expert but my solution was to create a PRIQ queue with VOIP and let everything else fall under the default queue. I then deleted and recreated the voip floating rule to lock down the source and destination with port 4569 (IAX2 udp port) in both direction. So I have 2 rules, 1 VOIP rule for voip.ms server ip to internal asterisk server and 1 VOIP rule asterisk server to voip.ms both using the qVOIP queue. PRIQ is a simple priority queue so it will choke anything lower then the queue that needs the bandwidth, so the VOIP queue with throttle the default in my case. I find my call quality to be great especially with incoming calls. Someone might have a better solution but this is one you could try.
Thanks for the response! :-)
Do you see a noticeable difference when you make a call while downloading?
Thanks for the response! :-)
Do you see a noticeable difference when you make a call while downloading?
If you cap both your upload and download to just below your providers true limit, I found it sounds as good as if there was no one downloading at all. Just a couple of minor hickups but I was just calling my cell phone and leaving a message to hear the difference. I very rarely saturate my line so for this I did remove my sabnzbd's cap on usenet while downloading to do. So give it a shot, I think you'll be happy with it.

If you have a prolonged history of dieting, you might need to manage your expectations as to how much body fat you will lose in the short to medium term.
Yo-yo dieting, and in particular, excessively low calorie diets can play havoc with your metabolism, disrupt the balance of hormones, and harm your health internally.
It can take a long time for somebody to heal themselves from the inside out, at a cellular and hormonal level before they start to drop body fat effectively again – and keep it off.
Often times people spend years dieting, then come across a healthy and sustainable approach, but are disappointed with the results they get. Nothing visibly happens for weeks and weeks.
If this applies to you, the priority in the short term is focus on establishing a healthy, sustainable diet and lifestyle.
Your weight and body fat many not change dramatically in the short term, but rest assured your body is healing on the inside. In the mean time you should be starting to get more energy, your skin should improve and you should generally be feeling healthier.
Once you restore health, hormonal balance, and your metabolism increases and starts functioning normally again, then your body will suddenly start burning through all that fat as it is supposed to.
Do not expect to undo all the years of damage you have done through disordered eating, yo yo dieting and extreme exercise over the course of 4-6 weeks, or worse, a 3 day detox.
Changes in health will come from a sustainable nutrition and training plan but also significant changes in lifestyle and behaviour. If you expect to shoehorn yet another diet and exercise plan into an already chaotic lifestyle, you are already setting the game up to lose. Again.
So this time, take slow road. Like it or not, it is the only road to long term success!

Andy Murray: Britain's Hometown Wimbledon HopeResume
Scotland's Andy Murray will meet Roger Federer in the men's final match at Wimbledon on Sunday for all the strawberries and cream. Federer, who hails from Switzerland, will attempt to tie Pete Sampras and William Renshaw, of the 1880s Renshaws, for seven Wimbledon titles, the most ever.
Murray is the first Brit to crash the men's final in 74 years and, if he should win, he will become the first British Wimbledon winner in an astonishing 76 years.
Cristopher Clarey of the New York Times joined Bill Littlefield from London to discuss the reaction to Murray's success among local tennis fans.
[sidebar title="Wimbledon's Official Poet" width="630" align="right"]In 2011, we heard a terrific poem about Andy Murray during Bill Littlefield's interview with Wimbledon's official "Championship Poet". [/sidebar]
"It definitely was a sense of mania at that end of that match, also because Tsonga made it a very suspenseful match on Friday and he was really able to attack Murray down the stretch," Clarey said. "At the end, it was like a national holiday ... it really was. Flags flying, tears in the players' box, tears in the stands, and I can only imagine what Sunday would be like if he were to win."
Clarey says Murray became very emotional after the win, something unusual for the low-key tennis star.
"He's got kind of a droll sense of humor. He's the sort of character you sort of warm to over time. He's not somebody that the first time you hear him you think has got a lot of charisma," Clarey noted. "But the more you hear him and the more you see how he handles this immense pressure here in Britain, the more respect you have for him."
Virginia Wade won the Wimbledon women's singles title in 1977 during the Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee.
"So here we are in [the Diamond] Jubilee year and people are looking for symmetry and symbolism and looking pretty hard right now," Clarey said.
"I think it will be a really interesting match on Sunday," Clarey said of the Murray-Federer final. "If the [British] had a champion, they wouldn't quite know what to do with him at this point. It's been so long."
This segment aired on July 7, 2012.

On Nov. 1, nearly 49,466 people finished the 26.2 miles that comprise the New York City Marathon, after months of training, both physical and mental. Like any race, there were runners who won medals, and there were those who finished at the end of the pack — and one person who finished last.
So-called 'losers' prove they are anything butNov. 29, 201504:14
Sala Cyril was that last-place finisher - 49,466th place - to be exact. But Cyril, who crossed the finish line at 7:30 p.m. that Sunday, says she thinks the real win is in the simple triumph of finishing the race.
"I define success by reaching or surpassing the goal that I've set out for myself," Cyril told TODAY.com. "There's a beauty and a pride that comes from knowing that you did the thing you set out to do."
That stick-to-itiveness is exactly what inspired Cyril to run a marathon in the first place. She said she wanted to prove to herself and to her community that goals are achievable with perseverance.
RELATED: This pageant runner-up turned 'losing' into raising thousands for cystic fibrosis
Cyril is the director and lead teacher at the Little Maroons Childcare Cooperative, a parent-led pre-school in Brooklyn that emphasizes teaching African heritage, culture and history to their students. These children and the school motivated Cyril through all 26.2 miles, setting up a fundraising site, showing up in person to support her during the race and empowering her to continue running.
"Their open hearts and the light that they have reminds me who I want to be every day," Cyril said of her students.
Cyril's mother and grandmother both worked in education, encouraging her to pursue a mission in African-centered teaching and activism in her own right.
In running the marathon Cyril said she hopes to inspire her students and community in the same way they've impacted her.
"[The marathon] made me feel powerful and reminded me of the power of people, the power of one person and then how that can ripple through the community," Cyril said.
That power and spirit fueled Cyril forward to finish the race. Cyril says that much to her surprise, it was her noteworthy placement that made the eight hours and 28 minutes of running well worth it.
"It did not bother me at all to be last, I was actually excited. It was a distinction…I said I finished, how many people were able to do that. Last was never a loss," Cyril said. "My advice to all of the 'losers' out there is to change the game. Make your win."

The analysis of past products revealed that significant colour changes are recorded in cycles which means that general colour preferences for the near future can be predicted with a fair degree of accuracy.
Defining new scenarios is an essential aspect of Color Design and contributes to determining the quality of home environments, architectural features of buildings and the commercial success of an industrial product.
The Color Design Project by Lechler, organized in partnership with the industrial designer Francesca Valan, provides indications, suggestions and technical information to make choosing colour and finishes easier.
Projects that are included in Lechler Color Design:
Color Design Habitat Building

Our 2018…
2018 has been intense for all of us, a year full of changes and challenges, but also a year of great fulfillments!
Time is come to take stock of the work done so far, and to set the New Year intentions. This is exactly what we have done…for more than 35 years we turned our passion and commitment into high quality loudspeakers, and today we are very proud to say that many of them have been awarded by the most important trade media.
Let's start with our flagship Aida which won the prestigious "Golden Sound Award 2018", announced by Stereo Sound magazine.
It never happened to a company to win this award for two years in a row, except this time! In fact, in 2017 Sonus faber received the same recognition and our lovely Amati Tradition was awarded with the Golden Sound award (not to forget the Sonus faber in 2011 and Lilium in 2014).
We are proud of our "young" Sonetto, our new collection that, during its first 6 months of life, won a lot of awards, shared among almost all the models. From Sonetto VIII, recognized as "Outstanding Product 2018" by hi-fiNews, to Sonetto II, "Recommended product" according to Hi-Fi Choice.
Lastly, we want to mention Electa Amator III, our new entry so small and so precious that has earned the "Best of Rocky Mountain Audio Festival 2018" award at its first appearance in public!
The list does not end here. If you are curious about all the rest of the awards we won in 2018, go visit our website on the "Awards & Reviews" section: https://www.sonusfaber.com/en/awards-reviews/!
We're happy to share with you all our achievements, because you are part of them from the beginning!

By Williams Prayer.
Are you a fresh graduate? Are you at home right now thinking of the next step to take? Time is precious, and it is important that you spend every single second of your time doing something worthwhile.
It is okay to wait for NYSC, but do you really want to stay home idle?
There are a lot of things you can occupy yourself with just before your NYSC, you can;
1. Apply for an internship job: Instead of staying home, you can apply for 6 months internship till your nysc period, pending when it will be. This will enable you improve on the skills you have and also build you up on what to expect in the actual work environment you intend to work in the nearest future. This can also help in building your work experience for your cvs and resume.
2. Offer voluntary services: It is important that you give back to your community as youths. Offering voluntary services like helping out in motherless baby homes, less privileged homes or adult homes can come a long way in bettering our society.
3. Take up professional courses: Are there skills you wished you possess? Is there anything that interests you and always get your attention? You can take up professional courses to acquire such skills. This is the best time for to do so. It will come a long way building you intellectually.
4. Take that skill to the next level: There is something you are very good at. There is something you love doing so much with ease. Is it photography or baking, graphic design or pattern making?, Why not take it to the next level? You can be a freelancer and offer your services to people. Make money out of it watch yourself turn into a multi-millionaire. Remember that you would soon start taking up responsibilities, so why not start now to prepare for such.

To outsiders, the imprecise term "family business" can suggest a well-functioning company run by loving, hugging people with old-fashioned values or a continuous hypersonic rerun of family baggage and childhood scripts projecting a dysfunctional mess. Examples of each abound. Sometimes the moniker "family business" is applied to private companies with no more connection to "a family" than people who enjoy the income.
For this purpose, we'll define it as an employer company fully- or majority-owned by two or more related family members with active roles in the business.
Treat a Family Business As… A Business
More market-influential, competitively resilient, profitable, and thus more valuable "family businesses" are run as professionally managed corporations. To avoid insularity and promote cross-pollination of ideas, they typically hire people from outside the family for senior roles, too. Larger family operations will often hire outside CEOs.
They have Boards of Directors that minimally have independent directors from outside the family, possibly outnumbering family representatives.
They are run as a meritocracy. They do not employ family members unemployable elsewhere. They have fair, written standards of performance and position descriptions for all, whether part of the family or not. Performance reviews are evenly applied, and ideally, no family member ever reviews another, except perhaps in a 360-degree review process.
Some companies require the younger generation to work elsewhere as a prequalification to work in the family business later. Not only does this requirement strengthen the company by injecting outside learning and skills, but it also ensures the next generation feels they bring something valuable to the business and that they are there for reasons beyond nepotism. The self-esteem that requirement can create might be more valuable to the person and business in the long run than the skills themselves.
In a sense, think of your business as a high-performing company that just happens to employ some family members.
An Effective Family Business Needs an Organizational Vision
The best-run businesses take the time to collectively define the organization's purpose, values, aspirations, and culture. They define what they stand for individually and collectively. A vision for the foreseeable future; the North Star. They define how their family interacts with the world, how they resolve disputes internally, and how they engage with suppliers or customers. It's the company's personality – a pillar of its brand.
Crucially, it will guide hiring and other important decisions. It is especially important if leadership succession is being contemplated, whether from within or outside the family {6 Traits of Strong Family Businesses, Harvard Business Review, June 18, 2019}.
It may take what feels like an eternity to reach clarity on a purpose, with hair-pulling, scratching, and biting along the way. It's worth researching the "purpose" concept in more depth, then taking the time and effort to do the work. It will pull the family and outside team closer, and clear vision and values will predispose financial success.
From that visioning, a mission should flow; the creation of a long-term goal of perhaps three to five years. Family owners of appropriate management level and senior management outsiders should collaboratively set goals to support the mission, then adjust it as warranted, aligning strategy, capital budgeting, and hiring decisions, too.
Use Rigorous Financial Controls to Promote Family Business Harmony
Well-performing family businesses are not treated as ATMs; loans to family members on a "repayment schedule" with a non-expectant wink are not done. It is best that the company does not make loans.
Unless of course… the family business is a bank.
As a company grows, a controller should be hired, then, when larger, a chief financial officer. If the roles are assumed by family members, they should be trained and evaluated as though they were working for another corporation. Particularly when shareholders exist outside the family, be aware that there is legal jeopardy when one spouse is the CEO and the other the CFO. At best, it is a poor governance practice. Other disgruntled family members with an interest in the business could also create legal friction.
Audit All Business Financial Records
It is worth every penny to have the accounting firm routinely audit the company's financial statements.
Not only does it create "family harmony insurance," but it will also "professionalize" financial and accounting processes, making the company significantly more valuable to stockholders and outsiders, e.g. banks from which to borrow, companies to acquire with stock, investors in or acquirers of the company, prospective outside management being hired – in short, any stakeholder being asked to "trust" the company's financial reports.
Separate Business from Personal Dynamics
It is difficult but crucial to maintain separation between family members' personal lives and the business. Too often, a business falls victim to family feuding. Simmering resentments may encourage avoidance, discouraging conversations that may turn out to be very important for day-to-day business success.
While family love, bonds, and disagreements are ever-present, in the better-functioning workplace those are subservient to company responsibilities and should left at the door. "Mom" or "Dad" may even be Kathy or Bill between 9 AM and 5 PM.
Consider using outside conflict resolution facilitators or consultants to help forge the way in which the company will deal with future disputes. Companies need a process to differentiate between personal and business matters when they start to muddle. Learn to embrace conflict but manage it; otherwise, it may assume the leadership role.

Contour baby
Former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen's powerful contouring game is giving us all kinds of makeup inspo! The drop-dead gorgeous actress does not only manage to slay in the fashion department; her beauty game too is always on point. We are totally digging that stunning shadow play and nude glossy pout.
Sassy braid-style
Trust Kareena Kapoor Khan to serve us some jaw-dropping looks week after week. This begum of Bollywood is a class apart! For a recent dance reality show, Bebo was a sight to behold in a summery yellow ensemble. However, it was her sleek rope braid that got us drooling. Full points to Bebo for pulling off that sleek hairdo with so much panache.
Power of pink
Evergreen beauty Madhuri Dixit Nene shows how to make a soft pink lippie look oh-so-fabulous. A flawless base, flushed out cheeks and barely-there eyeliner is what minimal makeup dreams are made of! Whether you're team minimalist or not, a swipe of pink lipstick simply adds the much-needed glamour to any look. You can get your hands on a similar shade here—Lakmé Absolute Argan Oil Lip Color - Silky Blush.
Just lash it!
Lash it like Janhvi Kapoor! The actress shows how to brighten up your eyes with just a few coats of mascara. On days when you have no time to apply kajal or eyeliner, simply up your glamour quotient with a few coats of mascara and some blush on your cheeks.
Boxer braids for the win
This summer ditch those regular hair braids and buns for an edgier hairstyle. Take cues from Jacqueline Fernandez and try boxer braids to add some oomph to your hairstyle this season. Add a few face-framing pieces for added glamour.
Summer hues
Anushka Sharma raises temperatures in that colour blocked jumpsuit and yellow sunnies. Zooming into her beauty game, we are totally digging sleek ponytail and a bright coral lipstick to stay on top of our beauty game this season.
Fuchsia pink is the new red! Vaani Kapoor breaks the monotony by opting for a bold fuchsia pink lipstick. That complemented with winged eyeliner, and we've found our bang on party makeup combination. GOALS!

Are you prepared for upcoming compliance requirements?
Depending on your industry, you may soon face a new business challenge: being ready to undergo and pass a mandatory IT security audit. Until recently, most small and mid-sized businesses – unless they are in health care or finance – haven't needed to worry about compliance. But now, if you are in the defense industry, or if you are a supplier to other highly regulated or security-sensitive industries, passing a compliance audit will increasingly be a requirement to do business.
- The DoD will soon require that all suppliers in the defense supply chain pass an audit of their compliance with CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) security practices.
- Other large companies are increasingly requesting or requiring compliance, often based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
The good news is that compliance is not just a bureaucratic hurdle. If properly implemented, most of the requirements are also in the best interests of the business by helping protect them against the growing array of cybersecurity threats. But achieving compliance is still a time-consuming task that can be a major drain on management attention. And navigating the process to implement and document the controls and processes in the right way to ace an audit is challenging and time-consuming, especially if you are not an IT expert.
PCG can help by providing you with a Compliance Assessment. And following the assessment, by helping you implement and document the required security controls, and training your team on the associated procedures. The Compliance Assessment is an essential tool to help position your business to compete successfully and safely.
Here is what you get when you choose a compliance assessment from PCG:
- Review of Your IT System – We will assess your IT environment to determine the technical and business challenges in achieving your compliance goals.
- Vulnerability Scan – We will use run scans that examine your IT infrastructure to detect potential technical vulnerabilities that impact compliance.
- Compliance Evaluation – We will audit your compliance with the specific controls specified in the target compliance framework(s).
- Remediation Recommendations – We will set out prioritized recommendations to address compliance shortfalls, and to implement appropriate policies and tools.
The results of our assessment will be documented in a customized report. We will detail and score your current compliance, including current practices that are incompletely documented. We will also provide you with a roadmap and budget to guide you through the process of remediating your risks.
Below, Roger Walton discusses the issues of compliancy in regards to doing a risk assessment for a company.
What Compliance Needs Do PCG Assessments Address?
This year, much of our compliance activity is focused on the DoD's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), which is described in more detail below. Other common targets for IT compliance are the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and NIST 800-171.
Other popular compliance standards where we can help are:
- NIST 800-53 for Federal compliance
- HIPPAA and HITECH for the medical industry
- PCI for businesses processing credit card payments
- ITAR and DFARS, also for the defense industry
- State privacy regulations
- GDPR, for EU data protection and privacy
- GLBA for the financial industry
What is the CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified standard for implementing cybersecurity across the defense industrial base (DIB), which includes over 300,000 companies in the supply chain. The CMMC is the DoD's response to significant compromises of sensitive defense information located on contractors' information systems.
The US Department of Defense (DoD) released the much-anticipated Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) version 1.02 on December 20th 2020.
Previously, contractors were responsible for implementing, monitoring and certifying the security of their information technology systems and any sensitive DoD information stored on or transmitted by those systems. Contractors remain responsible for implementing critical cybersecurity requirements, but the CMMC changes this paradigm by requiring third-party assessments of contractors' compliance with certain mandatory practices, procedures and capabilities that can adapt to new and evolving cyber threats from adversaries.
The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment maintains a CMMC FAQ where contractors can keep up to date on the certification process.
The CMMC Framework
The CMMC establishes five certification levels that reflect the maturity and reliability of a company's cybersecurity infrastructure to safeguard sensitive government information on contractors' information systems. The five levels are tiered and build upon each other's technical requirements. Each level requires compliance with the lower-level requirements and institutionalization of additional processes to implement specific cybersecurity-based practices.
Benefits of a PCG Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
There are many benefits of a PCG risk assessment, including but not limited to:
- Qualify to bid for work. Compliance is increasingly a prerequisite to qualify for contracts.
- Keep your business running. A cyber attack can bring your business to a halt, and some never recover. Becoming compliant will help you avoid one.
- Privacy for your employees and partners. Your team and your customers depend on you as a trusted custodian of their confidential information.
- Protect your reputation. When your data gets leaked, people find out.
- Build a plan of action. Compliance takes time, not just money. Prioritize your time investments.
- Identify your vulnerabilities. If a bad actor wants to attack you, where would they start?
- Comply with legal requirements. Failing to protect private information doesn't just harm your reputation, it may put you in legal jeopardy too.
- Help with jargon and acronyms. IT security is laced with technical terminology that makes it hard for non-specialists to navigate. We can help.
- Reduce cyber insurance premiums. Every business should carry insurance. Becoming compliant may help you qualify for lower premiums.

You need a security partner with a deep knowledge of IT technologies, but also with an understanding of the realities of running a business like yours. At PCG IT, we take pride in offering a wide variety of cybersecurity solutions for businesses.

UNION — Vose Library is the fortunate recipient of a work of art from Joseph Fiore's "Rock Paintings" collection. The artwork was a gift from the Maine Farmland Trust, in collaboration with the Falcon Foundation, according to a library news release.
Joseph Fiore (1925-2008) was an acclaimed avant-garde artist known for his abstract compositions. He also was an environmentalist, drawing key inspiration for his art from the natural world. Between 1975 and 1987, Fiore produced a collection of Rock Paintings, also called the Geological Works, inspired by geology and rocks.
According to the release, Fiore had a strong connection to Maine for 50 years, dividing his time between New York City and his farm in Jefferson. During his time here, Fiore was a generous supporter of the trust, a statewide membership organization that works to protect farmland, support farmers and advance the future of farming. After Fiore's death, his estate continued that support, creating the foundation, which has been working with the trust to further Fiore's dedication to the interconnection of art, farming and the natural world. The groups collaborated to create the Fiore Center at Rolling Acres in Jefferson, bringing together the worlds of art and farming through exhibits and education. In addition, the foundation provided artwork from Fiore's "Rock Paintings" collection for the trust to gift to Maine nonprofits committed to the appreciation of Maine's natural environment.
Vose Library is honored to be chosen as a steward of Fiore's artwork. The library will display Fiore's artwork, "Rock with Pictograph," above its Craftsmanship and Design Collection, which features professional-level resources for the artists and craftspeople of the area and across the state.
"We are so pleased to have one of Joseph Fiore's works in our library, where it will highlight the local connection between art, farming, and the natural landscape of Maine," said Sue McClintock, Vose Library's director, in the release.
This generous gift should inspire all generations to appreciate and learn more about Maine's geological history, rich farming tradition, and natural beauty. In doing so, it will enhance the library's mission to advance learning, inspire curiosity, enrich lives and promote community. Vose Library is grateful to the trust and the foundation for providing the opportunity to share Fiore's artwork and love of nature with its patrons and community.
