We'll Feed 5.5m Pupils, Says Osinbajo
THE Federal Government is to feed 5.5 million primary school children as part of efforts to ensure quality and accessible education to children, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said.
Speaking yesterday in Kaduna at the 28th convocation ceremony for the 64 and 65 regular courses of Army, Navy and Air Force and Short Service Course 44 of Army at the Nigerian Defence Academy, the Vice President said President Muhammadu Buhari's administration has a mission to provide quality education to Nigerians to ease the burden of education on the common man.
The vice president, who was represented by the Minister of Defence, Mansur Mohammed Dan Ali, hailed the Commandant and staff of NDA for "discharging military and academic training and both roles are being performed creditably" to churn out "well trained officials for our armed forces in maintaining territorial integrity and national security".
He added that the institution has done well in the area of research, teaching and community service.
"The Federal Government is aware of the significance of education. It is in this regard that we are giving priority to the development of education sector. Over N398 billion had been budgeted for education sector, which remains one of the highest so far.
"In the Federal Government's school feeding programme, 5.5 million school children will be provided with meals in our schools to ease the burden on our parents and to enable our children have access to quality education. It is gladdening that NDA had received National University Commission accreditation in arts and social science, engineering and science.
"I urge NDA to put together good infrastructure, curriculum and facilities required to sustain and maintain the accreditation. This convocation ceremony is slightly different from the NDA calendar as 64 and 65 regular courses will be graduated, 65 cadets have a year to go in their various services in the Navy and Air Force to complete their military training," Osinbajo said.
The convocation ceremony saw 1,163 students graduated from the institution with 34 bagging doctorate degree, 165 students bagged academic masters, 356 students (post graduate diplomas), 608 (received professional masters), 573 cadets graduated with bachelor of science, including foreigners from Benin Republic and Togo. Three of students bagged first class.
Three eminent Nigerians: legal luminary Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), Emir of Kazaure, Alhaji Najib Hussein Adamu and former Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Ola Saad Ibrahim (rtd) were awarded honorary doctorate degrees of letter and management science.
The NDA Commandant, Maj.-Gen. Mohammed Tasiu Ibrahim hailed the Federal Government for supporting them in building a 3,000 capacity auditorium and fencing the 37 kilometres academy, a project previously put at N9.7 billion but was completed with N1 billion.
He said two regular course – 64 and 65 – were combined because the institution will henceforth run its cadet programme for four years instead of the previous five years.
"NUC visited nine undergraduate and three postgraduate programmes with cheering outcome as all NDA academic courses enjoy full accreditation. NDA has submitted applications for new courses in faculty of military science and interdisciplinary studies."

- Fake news, we thought, was made-up news stories (hoaxes) in mainstream media and freemasons funded alternative media websites. It is often well-organized, well-planned, fully scripted. And many media "professionals" play their role in it.
- What the EU are trying to tell us, is that fake news is what critical thinkers spread informally across the internet, trying to "wake-up the masses". Some of these "conspiracy thinkers" didn't do their homework perfectly (but who does, we have made mistakes ourselves). So not all stories are 100% correct, even for those who try. But something tells us, the EU are worried about those stories that are spot-on right and are exposing the practice going on in Europe.
- Now the EU wants to do something about (2) critical thinkers, who write alternative theories to what the mainstream media is writing. They say they do it, because fake news can do damage. But they don't do something about (1) mainstream fake news.
- What they should do, is make clear it is a crime, to write something knowing it is not true (unless fiction, satire). What they should do, is go after hoax news stories.
- The media is writing bullshit, to keep the masses occupied, including hoax terror attacks and made-up murder stories. At the same time, policies that are bringing down our countries, are sold by the media, as if it is a good idea.
Free Speech. The people think it means the right to say what you feel like saying. But freemasons consider "free speech" only the stories freemasons intend to roll-out into the world, with the world "free" referring only to freemasons.

13: Game Of Death
13: Game Of Death
My favorite movie from year 2006. 13: Game Of Death is by far the best online movie build up I've ever seen. I've many movie productions in my mind that I call favorite but best movie mean to me having both a certain style, which symbolizes the point of a movie to tell a story via motion pictures of a being's existential turning point, it engrosses you in imagination and its overall effect is that either it leave you changed, inspired or left some impact on you. The soundtrack of these movie is simple, decieving, full of mischief in its own right. The story is really solid, the pacing is great, and all of the actors give great performances. The action, special effects, characters and score are all perfect to me. This director is great. With 13: Game Of Death online he seems to be setting himself some kind of a test - how far over the top can he go? I bought this movie with blu-ray quality last time so I decided to upload full production here, so now this movie will be available online for free for all now every single person can watch this movie online for free

easy to shop. easy to prep. easy to eat.
as fancy as i love to get for the big game or any game, the fact is i don't want to send the whole game in the kitchen. i chose 3 vehicles that give you room to get creative if you don't want to stick to the recipes. you will also see gluten free options as well. so, check these ideas & recipes out then get in the kitchen before the game!
mini sandwiches
long live cocktail bread! i remember this stuff from back in the day when my grandmother would make me open faced deviled ham sandwiches with this stuff. it DID take 2 grocery stores to find it, but totally worth it. you can really do anything with this stuff. it comes in everything from sourdough to rye, so pick your favorite. i happened to have pastrami, so a pastrami sandwich was a given. then of course, who can deny a BLT? no one. i picked the classic up a bit & it turned out great!
makes 12 sandwiches each
grilled pastrami
i am a pastrami addict. i put it on eggs, on pizzas, in lettuce cups… anything.
i kept the coleslaw simple to let the rest of the ingredients shine. i get my pastrami at trader joe's and it is great find. when getting it from the deli, just ask for it thinly sliced. if you are gluten free, there are many alternatives. use gluten free bread, cut into four square pieces. even the gluten free baguettes, thinly sliced work well. these should be done in batches, i did 6 at a time. just preheat your oven to 200 to keep them warm on a cookie sheet.
24 slices of your choice cocktail bread (i used sourdough)
1 pound pastrami
6 slices of provolone cheese
coleslaw (recipe follows)
homemade secret sauce (recipe follows)
butter, at room temperature
secret sauce coleslaw
2 cups coleslaw mix of your choice
1/2 cup mayo
2 tablespoon cider or rice vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons finely chopped bread & butter pickles
3 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
3 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
1 small clove of garlic, grated
salt & pepper
. combine all ingredients & season with salt & pepper
*can be made a day ahead of time
to assemble sandwiches
. heat large skillet to medium high
. spread butter on 6 slices of bread
. build sandwich on UNBUTTERED bread in this order: pastrami, coleslaw, cheese, sauce & top with buttered bread (butter side up)
. in skillet melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter
. place built sandwiches into skillet & let the bottom gets golden brown
. flip them over for the same golden brown results then serve immediately or throw in the oven to keep warm
toasted BLT
keep this one simple or throw some upgrades in there like i did by using peppered bacon & garlic mayo.
24 slices of bread
3 roma tomatoes
16 slices of bacon, cooked and broken in half halves
3-4 roma or plum tomatoes, sliced & placed on paper towels to get out extra moisture
butter lettuce
garlic mayo (recipe follows)
salt & pepper
garlic mayo
2/3 cup mayo (i only use duke's)
1-2 small cloves of garlic, grated (use garlic to taste)
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
salt & pepper
. combine mayo, garlic, & lemon zest
. season with salt & pepper
to assemble sandwiches
. toast all bread in a toaster & set aside
. spread all bread with garlic mayo
. build sandwich in this order: bread (mayo side in), lettuce, tomato, bacon (3 pieces per sandwich), salt & pepper & bread (mayo side in)
mini tacos
you can do these with all kinds of shells. larger flour or corn tortillas into 4 inch rounds, you can fry them or bake them… then world is yours. which if you are gluten free, means you have just as many options as the next person. even butter lettuce would work as a vehicle. i decided to use these mini taco boats because of size & ease to fill then eat. kept the meat old school & topped with for traditional ingredients. again, let your mind get creative & fill with anything you want.
makes 12 tacos
1 package (12 shells) mini taco boats
1 1/2 pounds 15/85 beef
3/4 of taco mix packet or make your own (i use equal parts cumin, chili powder & garlic then season to taste with salt)
1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
1 cup seeded chopped tomatoes of your choice
2/3 cup of crumbled quest fresco (about 1/3 of wheel)
1/2 large white onion, finely chopped
crema for drizzling
for prep & assembly
. bake taco boats as directed (i throw a little butter on the baking sheet for extra crispiness)
. cooking beef over medium high heat until brown
. add spices & mix until well combined
. build your taco boat. top it with the above or anything you want really. chorizo & potato. chipotle chicken. marinaded skirt steak.
chicken & waffles
this trusty duo can do no wrong. it's just how to make it easy to consume. ideally, i would like to use the beauty of chick-fila nuggets, but there isn't one near me. so, i just go for the best frozen variety that i can find. eggs minis are perfection. if you are gluten free, just cut 3 inch rounds out of gluten free waffles, do open faced so that it saves your waffles & money. gluten free nuggets are everywhere as well. top as you please, i went with a super simple prep using a combo of sweet & salty.
makes 24 bites
24 eggo mini waffles, cooked as directed
24 chicken nuggets, baked as directed
maple herb butter (recipe follows)
for maple herb butter
1 stick unsalted butter
3 tablespoon maple syrup
3 tablespoons of fresh herbs, whole leaves, i used thyme & rosemary
2 tablespoon fresh herbs, finely chopped
salt & pepper
. place butter & herbs into microwave safe bowl
. microwave on power level 3 for 3 minutes, do not quicken this because it allows the butter to become infused
. remove herbs & add maple syrup
to assemble
. break up eggos to make single waffles
. drizzle a bit of butter on waffles
. top with chicken nugget & drizzle again with honey
. Salt & pepper to taste & top with fresh top herb

I also lived in Washington, DC for a year, and visited the Vietnam Wall multiple times, each visit accompanied by unbidden weeping, especially on days when there were a lot of tributes left at the base of the wall. There is a reverence at these memorials, and everyone feels it, I think. I was at the Vietnam Memorial when three busloads of young teenage girls touring the capital, started their walk down into the V-shaped depression. Laughing, joking at the beginning, the young women soon fell to silence, and by their exit at the other end, tears. So I knew what I was in for, when Chad, Barbara and I got tickets to this memorial. They were timed tickets, and ours was at 4:45 p.m., but we were able to get in about 30 minutes earlier--just at sunset.
There is another entry place, and we unload our coats, backpacks, belts to walk through their scanners, just as if we were taking an airplane ride somewhere. Solemnity. In boatloads. Dressing back up for the cold, we walk down a path, then a turn, then another path, then around the Ground Zero site, zig-zagging our way to the entrance, where our tickets were scanned for the third time. And then you're there. You see the tall "Freedom Tower" rising first above the site (above), then the south pool and then as you scan, the north pool.
As I talked to Chad, a man volunteered to take our photo, his wife at his side. We thanked him, and Chad moved on more quickly than I, as I wanted to linger. Barbara was already at the far side of the first pool. This man also took the photo at the end of this post, as we met up with him again. That time he told us it was his first visit to the Memorial; he had worked in the PATH station, deep below the twin towers that day. He was in the epicenter of the trauma, as was my brother David, walking between the towers when the second plane hit. We are all connected to this horror, by our connections to each other.
The visitors generally start with the south pool, where the New York City Policemen begin the array of engraved names. There is an order to the listing, but I didn't consult my carefully downloaded phone app. There's really no need for it, unless you are trying to find someone specific. I wasn't. I was there to pay homage to them all.
The engraved names hover at the perimeter of the waterfalls, which cascade into a flat black pool. And at the center of this, another square--an infinity pool where the water falls, of which you can't see the bottom.
The names are engraved, then this slab is lighted from below, so the glow filters up through the etched-out words. Everyone once in a while, I spotted a rosebud, or a flag. They are building a museum onsite which will hold the momentos that will surely be left by visitors.
A shaky video clip of the falls.
As I studied this site, trying to notice the architectural details, the reflection of the lights rimming the bottom of the falls look as if they veer off into another dimension.
I am fascinated by this idea--of seeing an overlay of design--the lights reflected against the black granite. I find myself focusing on these details as the feelings seem to have risen in my throat--not tears, really, but this kind of thick feeling, familiar to me from my time at the Vietnam Memorial. What else can I feel but horror, sadness, grief? I remember that day, as do many, of being glued to the television, switching channels, trying to comprehend what was really going on. What was going on? Who knew that it would change so much of our lives?
When I was a younger woman, deep in writing classes, I often bemoaned to my husband that I seemed to only be able to see a small slice of life, a bubble. I longed to have the bigger picture that my father, my mother seemed to have. I now realize, as I have aged, that this "big picture" seeing comes with living, comes with just being on the planet and going through experiences and interacting with humanity, both on the personal and on the public level. Education helps, of course, but it's mostly growing older. This has allowed me to see so much more of other people's lives, and I can envision and even imagine their pain, their suffering, their joys and triumphs. But there is an unforeseen drawback to this acquired vision: that because I can now see the bigger vision, places like this Memorial are part sorrow, part anguish.
I long for a wee bit of humanity within this majestic homage to suffering.
I go to find my children.

No 11. Cittie of Yorke
The Cittie of Yorke is a grade II listed public house on London's High Holborn, and is listed in CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. The pub is owned and operated by Samuel Smith's Old Brewery from Tadcaster near York.
The Welsh poet Dylan Thomas penned an impromptu ode to the pub when it was called Henneky's Long Bar.

They'd saved for years to build their dream house and were finally moving in on a warm fall day. She was in love with their custom kitchen and he was looking forward to enjoying football season in his big "man cave" downstairs. As they settled down to spend their first night, though, something was wrong. That big screen television downstairs was on, blaring so loudly they could hear it two floors away. Shaking his head, he made his way to the basement to turn it off. Had he left it on, he though to himself. He couldn't remember. But when he got downstairs, he discovered a much larger problem than he was expecting. Sure enough, the television was on with the volume set on high. The bigger problem? The TV wasn't plugged in.
He saw the plug and the cord curled there on the shelf. He inspected it and looked at the back of the TV. He used the remote to turn down the volume and then, turned the set off. The sound stopped and the screen went black. He went back to bed without saying anything to his wife. He wasn't sure what he'd have told her anyway. But it didn't matter because just as he got into bed, they both heard the TV come on again downstairs. There's a lot more to this story, but I won't share it here. Let's just say that the problem they had in their new house were eventually resolved with the help of a Catholic priest and continued prayers.
Stories about strange or "other-worldly" experiences fascinate us. One look at what's popular on television reveals how much many of us like watching zombies, vampires, witches, time travel, and magic. Ghosts are a discussion we might have have another day. What the couple above experienced in their new home wasn't a ghost but a poltergeist. This is a manifestation of a spirit that, while perhaps not truly evil, serves to annoy people and cause disturbances that can be seen or heard by us, like a TV set that works without being plugged in. There's no definitive Catholic teaching on much of what might be considered by popular culture to be paranormal. But, let's face it, the Church is in the business of the supernatural. Until just a few years ago, we called one of the persons of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy "Ghost." Church history is full of extraordinary miracles and Saints with amazing, out-of-this-world gifts and abilities.
We have to remember that every spirit is subject to the power of God, Who created and sustains them. He gives us all that we need to confront and overcome any bothersome spirit, beginning with the Sacraments of His Church. Baptism, Confirmation and frequent Confession are the armor He provides us. The Holy Eucharist is Christ Himself, truly present. The prayers of the Church and the assistance of the angels and Saints also help us to dispel any bad spirits around us. Blessed crucifixes and holy water are powerful sacramentals against evil. And anyone who has seen a scary movie knows that when you really need the big guns, you call in a Catholic priest. They're armed with prayers that work against all kinds of nasty spirits. And I can never understand why folks wait so long to contact a priest in these situations. A favorite Catholic prayer for protection from all manner of evil is this one:
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world,
seeking the ruin of souls.
Remember that God's love and protection will surround and uphold us whenever we ask for His assistance.

78th Tata Steel Chess Tournament
Taken from the official Tata Steel Website
During its 77 year history, the Tata Steel Chess Tournament has attracted some of the biggest names in chess history. Visitors to the tournament have witnessed the rise and domination of players like Norway's Magnus Carlsen, India's Viswanathan Anand, and Russia's Gary Kasparov.
Carlsen first played at the tournament in 2004, the same year as he became a chess grandmaster. The reigning World Chess Champion has since returned ten times to play in the Tata Steel Chess Tournament.
Meanwhile the tournament continues to support the next generation of world class players such as Anish Giri from Holland, and America's talent Wesley So.
Taken from the official Tata Steel Website
World champion Magnus Carlsen has won the 78th edition of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament and unbeaten as well. It is the fifth time that Carlsen has won the tournament in Wijk aan Zee, equalling the record set by Anand. Fabiano Caruana (United States) and Ding Liren (China) shared second spot. Carlsen received his prize from Theo Henrar, chairman of the directors of Tata Steel Nederland. Henrar also announced that the 79th edition of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament will take place from Friday 13 - Sunday 29 January 2017.
Adhiban Baskaran (India), Alexey Dreev (Russia) and Eltaj Safarli (Azerbaijan) share first place in the Tata Steel Challengers. Having the best result in his matches against the other two, Baskaran has earned promotion to the Tata Steel Masters at the Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2017.
Vladimir Dobrov (Russia) has won the Top 10 Tournament. This means that he will participate in the Tata Steel Challengers in 2017.
The Vugar Gashimov Award for fair play, introduced this year by Sarkhan Gashimov in memory of his brother Vugar, who died in 2014, has been awarded to David Navara and Jorden van Foreest. Both have shown good sportsmanship in many ways during the tournament. They received the prize from Sarkan Gashimov.
Professor Johan van Hulst, who turned 105 last week, awarded the prize for the most promising talent to Jorden van Foreest and Wei Yi.
Young people and chess
Theo Henrar: "Tata Steel is proud of the community we are part of. We support the IJmond region through various initiatives, with an emphasis on young people. The theme of our community policy is Future Generations. This year we have focused on engaging young people and successfully so. More than 1,500 children have taken part in the Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2016. In Wijk aan Zee, but also at the Telstar Stadium, Science Center NEMO in Amsterdam and the Railway Museum in Utrecht. At the chess simultaneous at the Telstar Stadium the children were surprised to see Carlsen, Van Wely and several other grandmasters play a football match. And at half time they even visited their simultaneous, with Carlsen giving some of the participants tips about their position. Chess inspires and unites people of all ages all over the world and we wholeheartedly support that."
Mental strength
The winner's trophy consists of a partly folded automotive steel rod that has weathered a crash test. This represents the link with Tata Steel and symbolizes a chess player's mental strength, of which resilience is an integral part.
Steel and chess: creativity and innovation
The Tata Steel Chess Tournament has a long tradition. Starting as an employee tournament, it has grown into an international tournament of world class renown, for which grand masters and amateurs alike will clear their diaries. Tata Steel has chosen for chess, because chess entails strategic thinking and focuses on finding creative solutions for complex issues. Steelmaking has that very same focus. It is a high-tech process with a crucial role for innovation. Tata Steel employees are continuously working on improving processes and products in order to help customers be successful in their markets while contributing to creating a sustainable society. Among chess aficionados the tournament in Wijk aan Zee is known as 'The Wimbledon of Chess'.
For your convenience all of the games from the Masters and Challengers have been compiled into a massive PGN file for your download. This file is a whopping 182 games big so you don't miss anything from this event.
Round 1
In round 1 Daniel King explores the game between Caruana and Eljanov.
After several moves the game enters a sharp line of the Vienna variation of the Queen's Gambit. White sacrifices a pawn early on for a lead in development and a large space advantage, but black didn't give in without a fight.
Round 2
In round 2 Daniel King explores the game between Carlsen and Caruana.
While all the games in round 2 were drawn that didn't mean they were boring. Carlsen opens with a slightly unorthodox system which transposes into a "sort of" closed Sicilian. Carlsen then probes Caruana with an h pawn advance.
Round 3
In round 3 Daniel King explores the game between Navara and Giri.
This game features a sharp Grunfeld system and enters a position rich with tactics and requiring accurate calculation. This game is a good example of hyper-modernism vs the classical school of chess. In the end the game concluded in a draw.
Round 4
In round 4 Daniel King explores the game between Hou and Navara.
The game started as an advanced Caro-Kann with white gaining a large space advantage out of the opening. After a very well calculated and careful exchange sacrifice white took control of the position and pressed on for the win.
Round 5
In round 5 Daniel King explores the game between van Wely and Carlsen.
Carlsen was well prepared with a minor (but trending) line of the Grunfeld - 6...Be6. Carlsen sacrificed a pawn on move 9 to "keep more juice" in the position, but regained it before too long. After getting into time trouble van Wely succumbed.
Round 6
In round 6 Daniel King explores the game between Carlsen and Tomashevsky.
After Carlsen's first win of the tournament he chose an "anti-theory" opening and entered the London system. After luring his opponent into this setup Carlsen seized his chances and dominated the game from move 17 onward.
Round 7
In round 7 Daniel King explores the game between Eljanov and Carlsen.
The game was a Catalan and Carlsen once again entered a slightly lesser variation with more tension. Carlsen found some novel positional nuances and resisted material to tempt his opponent into a double edged position full of fire.
Round 8
In round 8 Daniel King explores the game between Navara and Caruana.
Caruana and Carlsen shared the lead heading into round 8. Carlsen drew his game leaving Caruana the opportunity to take the lead. After 31 moves the players entered a complex end game with RBPPPP each. Navara played actively and ended up winning.
Round 9
In round 9 Daniel King explores the game between Wei and Navara.
From a Berlin Spanish Wei declined the endgame with 4.d3 and then exchanged on c6. After a "mutual novelty" in 10.h4 from Wei and Caruana white was rewarded for his aggressive play with a strong technical win from a crushing king side attack.
Round 10
In round 10 Daniel King explores the game between Caruana and Wei.
In an open Spanish, Caruana played ambitiously on the kingside and was rewarded with a large space advantage in a double edged position. After a subtle mistake from Wei, Caruana seized the moment and took control of the board.
Round 11
In round 11 Daniel King explores the games between Carlsen and Hou, and then Mamedyarov and Caruana.
In a round marred by fatigued play Carlsen lasted the distance against Hou and forced the win in a pure pawn endgame.
Mamedyarov played an amazing exchange sacrifice to try and queen, but Caruana hung on to secure the draw.
Round 12
In round 12 Daniel King explores the game between Caruana and van Wely.
van Wely played a Sicilian Najdorf and Caruana responded with an English style attack with an early f3. van Wely countered by entering the a solid Scheveningen structure. However, van Wely's solid structure and queenside counter-play wasn't enough to hold off Caruana's attack.
Round 13
In the last round Daniel King explores the games between Carlsen and Ding, and then Tomashevsky and Caruana.
Carlsen enjoyed a slight advantage and risk free position out of the opening. Carlsen managed to be a piece up in a RBK vs RK endgame, but could not crack Ding's "second rank" defence.
Caruana risked everything in a Nimzo-Indian to no avail.

We actually tried this today with our grandadughter, HjL. We were with her, she had a fresh load. We know, because we could smell it, and we checked. We asked if she wanted to be changed, she gave a clear indication of non-consent. SO,we waited, and eventually, she did change her mind, and made it known she was ready to be changed. It was actually quite easy … 🤔💩

Remember when we surfed the Internet on a computer or laptop while seated at a desk?
It wasn't that long ago, but times have changed. Now we consume content wherever we are, whether that's at home or at work or en route to a store. And our gadgets have changed from stationary computers to myriad mobile devices that we carry or wear.
Mobile brings a constantly connected mindset, and it's driving changes in the way we—including our customers—consume content and interact with brands, from voice search to chatbots, and from digital assistants to the Internet of Things (IoT).
DNN Software has created an infographic that illustrates stats and figures related to this phenomenon.
For instance, the infographic shows that active users of virtual digital assistants are forecast to grow from 390 million (in 2015) to 1.8 billion by the end of 2021. Those digital assistants are driving an increase in voice searches. In 2016, Google announced that 20% of mobile queries are coming from voice searches, according to the infographic.

Movember is a special month. You must be blind and deaf and totally bereft of the internet to see the facial topiary being sported by men, globally. The aim is to drive awareness for prostrate cancer, and to raise funds for research into prevention and cure. I have lost one uncle to prostrate cancer, and another is in his final weeks with the same blight. It is not a dignified end.
It is all the more poignant and painful because in the final days of my crazed addiction, I thought I had cancer, and when it turned out I didn't, I never told anyone…I chose to live the lie, so that when I committed suicide later, as I intended to do, there would be pity, and not the anger usually reserved for suicides.
We all know I didn't have what it takes to end it all, though I did try.
Part of my reclaiming my life is to confess my sins, and to tell the story, and to share in these campaigns that raise awareness for the people who really do have cancer.
But Movember isn't just all about deep thought and confession, for me. It's also about learning how to drink a good coffee through the walrus-like sprout below my schnoz, and to NOT look like a total porn star in a the throes of a money shot while doing so.

Leaders from throughout the Americas on Saturday vowed to confront systemic corruption with an accord aimed at improving transparency and boosting civil society at a time when graft scandals plague many of their own governments.
Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra started the Summit of the Americas' first full session asking the Western Hemisphere leaders to approve 57 action points he said would constitute a base for preventing corruption.
The "Lima Commitment: Democratic Governance Against Corruption" was approved with a round of applause, though analysts were skeptical that it will lead to any tangible change.
Many heads of state in attendance lead administrations that face allegations of misusing public funds, obstructing justice and accepting bribes.
"The hard part will come when leaders return home," said Shannon O'Neil, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Numerous leaders called on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to accept humanitarian aid as his nation confronts a crippling economic crisis and urged those gathered not to accept the results of an upcoming presidential election in the embattled South American nation.
"We won't recognize the results of an election designed to disguise a dictatorship," said Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, one of the most outspoken on Venezuela.
Bolivian President Evo Morales and Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodriguez were among the few voices of support for Venezuela, calling on the US to drop sanctions against their ally and decrying US Vice President Mike Pence's words criticizing the nation.
"Our region isn't the backyard of anybody," Morales said, echoing Maduro's comments earlier in the week after US President Donald Trump decided to skip the summit, which some considered a snub to the region.
Pence on Saturday said that the US would submit a bid to host the next summit in 2021 in an apparent act to quell doubts about the nation's commitment to the region.

{ More musings from the Cantankerous Old Mule }
I am currently in Liège, in Belgium's Wallonie (French-speaking) district. I lived here as an exchange student when I was 18 and try to come back as often as possible to visit the family I lived with then, and a few other people I got to know at the time. I last visited at the end of 2012. Of course, I wrote several blog posts, including this one, where I featured mostly "touristy" shots of the city. Read it now if you would like a view of some of the city's most photographed spots.
One last look back at Belgium: November 2012
So, back to the present. I took the train in from France last week, arriving just after lunch time. I tracked down the bus I know so well, paid the surly driver, and was immediately launched along a trip down memory lane on my way "home." After a quick catch-up with Hélène, my host mother, it was straight to the local chocolate shop to stock up on 4 kgs of chocolate and then downtown on a pilgrimage to "La Brasserie," a café I frequented often with my exchange-student friends.
The next day, braving all four seasons, Hélène and I again set off downtown to explore. We were going to visit the touristy areas but ended up gravitating towards the old terraced area behind the Palais des Princes-Évêques and towards la Citadelle. Up mountain and down steps we went, traversing the area a few times, sandwiched around a typical Liège lunch of Boulets la Liégeoise (meatballs with frites) and topped off with a hot chocolate in a local café in Rue du Palais. It snowed on us three times, rained a few, and the sun shone gloriously too.
This is how I saw the city on the day we just didn't make it to the top-10 sights of Liège.
I love the slyly smiling face above the doorway. What did he know, I wonder, that it had to be carved in stone for generations to come, as fresh today as it was then. I hope a portion of that 4 kg of delectable and decadent Belgian chocolat is destined to come my way.
Love the scenery, the buildings, the stories. Makes one long to be more than just a tourist. One must dwell awhile, linger a little. . .
It preserves the sense of wonderment for the next time.

Well… these blogs are turning into a Michael Meyers, Halloween Part 185 type thing, aren't they? They keep coming back to haunt us with more useless knowledge.
Now, what else is left?
Oh yes, vinyl transfers. You will need a vinyl cutter to cut the material and a heat press to apply it. You can find vinyl in a wide range of colors, prints, glitters, fluorescents, reflectives, puffs, and so on. There are different vinyls for different substrates – from nylon and cotton to spandex and polyester. Vinyl is very popular in the athletic apparel market, in applying pre-cut names, numbers and logos to athletic jerseys.
I kicked Negative Nancy and Positive Peter out on this part of my blog… I told them that I'm more than capable of handling vinyl all by myself. Vinyl is one of my favorite materials to work with.
The biggest CON to this material is you have to weed it! Weeding can be a very tedious job if you have small/detailed images. It could be enough to cause you to throw that roll out into the middle of oncoming traffic!
One trick to help with weeding those tough finishes (glitters for instance) is to roll that piece of cut material backward. By rolling it, it will make your cut lines more prominent and will allow you to at least get it started with ease. Once you get it started, it's much easier to keep it going. So take a deep breath , get your weeder & get started!
Now don't get me wrong, weeding can be tough to get through but there are so many great PROS to using transfer vinyls. It is a very durable material, it's easily customizable, the perfect material to use for small order runs, and works wonders for those one color images and logos and it really works well when you can utilize the color of the shirt as part of the image itself.
Layering the vinyl is also another great positive. You can either layer it directly onto each other or depending on how good you are with your design programs, you can layer them around each other by setting up different layers for cutting the vinyl colors out.
Just keep these couple little tidbits in the back of your mind when thinking about layering.
1. When layering, try to keep the materials in the same family. So Easyweed with Easyweed and DigiCut with Digicut. Mixing and matching can cause some unwanted headaches.
2. If you're going to layer the material directly on top of each other, then press your first layer using less time than normal. Think about half the normal pressing time for that first layer. Then the second layer, press it using the normal time/temp.
So, there you have it. That's the last of the series in Coastal trying to "Keep it Real" in addressing the things not everyone likes to point out. How did we do?
If you have any additional questions, or want to throw in any feedback or tips – leave us a comment!

One of the more recent trends in marketing that has become a staple for businesses online is the use of social media influencers to recommend and sell products. Building an audience on social media can be difficult for struggling brands that need to get the word out about what they do. Social media influencers provide an outlet for businesses to more easily reach people on social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.
Some brands might see social media influencers and the impact they have but wonder whether it will really work for them. Do social media influencers work for every type of brand? It is in fact possible to find the right influencer for your brand as long as you know who your target audience is and where to find them.
The myth that social media influencers and the platforms they use are only for millennial audiences is not true. Older generations use social media and can also be influenced by recommendations online but you need to find the place where your demographic "hangs out". Social media influencers can have a tremendous impact on your brand if you use them to your advantage.
Understanding Social Media Influencers
The reason businesses are so interested in social media influencers is that they often speak directly to a large audience online. Influencers have built up their own following simply by being themselves and creating interesting content that people want to see. Their followers tend to listen to what they say and trust in their taste because it always comes across as completely genuine.
Even though followers of an influencer may feel that this person recommends products based on their own positive experience, the reality is that many are paid to promote certain brands. However, people see them as an authority in their field of influence and because of their existing relationship with their audience, influencers can have an affect on people's purchase decisions. Social media influencers have a larger than normal following, but also usually have a niche audience that they are speaking to.
A common and increasingly popular example of a social media influencer is the "beauty guru". This is a person on YouTube or Instagram that has been recognize by their followers as having special knowledge or expertise in makeup or beauty related products. They often test out new products, create tutorials or find creative ways to review or talk about beauty items.
Social media influencers exist in all kinds of different niches and as long as they are seen as an authority on a certain topic, people will be influenced by what they say. An influencer could be a celebrity, an industry expert, a content creator or just everyday people that become well-known online. No matter what type of brand you have, there is most likely an influencer that can help you promote your products or services.
Identifying the Right Influencer
How do you find an influencer that works for your brand? The first thing to think about when looking for a social media influencer is what you consider to be your brand message. You need to know beforehand what you want to say about your brand and what you want people to know.
In addition to developing your brand message you also need to know who your target audience is and what kinds of things they are looking for. Your target audience needs to be both people you want to reach and those who are more likely to be interested in purchasing your products. You don't want to waste effort marketing to an audience that would have no need or no interest in your brand.
Once you have a better idea of your target audience you will need to find an influencer that has many followers in that audience. This doesn't mean looking for an influencer with the most followers but looking for someone that matches your brand the most and speaks to the right demographic. Your influencer should share a similar message to your brand and an audience that is more likely to buy from you.
A great way to start looking for effective influencers is finding people that already like and mention your brand online. When someone genuinely loves your company their message is going to feel more authentic to followers and they won't see it as an advertisement. If they are already interested in your brand then it is more likely they are good fit as far as their message and the type of content they create.
When you find the right social media influencer you will be able to have a direct channel to communicate with your target audience. Start developing relationships with social media influencers now so that you can create more loyal fans online.

After a long teaching day I went to a Leeds Film Festival preview screening of The American Astronaut last night. The film, directed and starring Cory McAbee, is incredibly strange collision of prototypical Western genres including Sci-fi, Western, Film Noir, Comedy and Musical but rather than trying to amalgamate these elements seamlessly it revels in their incongruities. McAbee stars as space cowboy Sam Curtis travelling through a parallel universe that resembles our own but it not quite the same. The surreal narrative and tone of the film is reminiscent of David Lynch. The opening scenes show Curtis delivery a cat to an old Western style saloon station on a remote asteroid. Meeting his old dance partner, an interstellar fruit trader named the Blueberry Pirate, Curtis receives a machine that can grow a 'real live girl' as payment. This instigates journey first to Jupiter to trade the machine for 'the Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast' and then to Venus to deliver the boy to a planet populated exclusively by women. All the while the protagonist is being chased by the sinister Professor Hess.
This, unfortunately, is a totally inadequate synopsis but in many ways the plot is incidental to complexities of meaning that permeate the film. Visually the film is superb. Shot in kind of glossy, metallic black and white it perfectly captures a kind of retro-milieu which fuses the Western frontier with the final frontier. The film never falls into nostalgic sentimentality however. There is a creative imaginary here exemplified by several elements of visual virtuosity. Sam's spaceship is an old steam engine (which comically docks with an interstellar barn at one point) produced using decidedly lo-fi special effects but which marry perfectly with the surreal aesthetic. Other standout elements are Professor Hess' ray-gun which turns his victims into sand (a nod to the sand men of Logan's Run perhaps) and a kind of photo-montage sequence in the middle of the film encapsulates the friendship that develops between Sam and the boy.
Indeed, for me the most interesting aspect of the film was the representation of gender. I was interested in seeing the film because of its relationship to my PhD. I have not seen as esoteric a representation of familiar iconographies of masculinity in any other film. It takes the recognisable tropes and behaviours that we might recognise from cinema concerning he cowboy/astronaut but subtly skews the viewers expectations while not undermining their familiarity. The universe of The American Astronaut is definitely a male domain but the lack of the female presence 'queers' the homosocial relationships within the film. But this is represented in a very quirky, off-beat way. In stead of fighting, the men sing and dance. Indeed the friendship between the Curtis and the Blueberry pirate is affirmed by their winning of a dance contest which seems to replace the standard Western gun fight. There is an empathy and emotionality in the male bonding that undercuts the usual masculine bravado and competitiveness found in American genre films. But despite the comedic singing and dancing numbers masculinity is never overtly camp or explicitly homosexual. It is as though a universe without women would produce a different context for masculine interpersonal relationships.
The enigmatic Professor Hess is obsessed with the main character (they could be father and son but that is never resolved) and his underlying feature is that he kills without reason. Yet his motivation stems avails itself through a kind of overly emotional jealously – he doesn't like Curtis dancing with someone else and is particularly irate that the protagonist won't sing happy birthday to him! Very surreal traits for a film villain. When all these male characters finally reach the female inhabited Venus, the performance of femininity is equally satirical and ironic. Dressed in what looks like renaissance ball gowns the women flutter fans in front of the eyes in a kind of coquettish display. It is as thought lack of men serves to hyper-feminise them. The narrative and intentionality of The American Astronaut is impossible to categorise in any simple way. Its pleasure for me was accepting it strangeness and going with it. Once I did that as a viewer I felt the film questioned my assumptions about representation, identity, gender and construction of reality that we mostly take for granted. I know I haven't really done the film justice here but it is well worth seeing particularly if you are tired of Hollywood's one-dimensionality and formulaic characterisations.

The discovery of a treasure map sets young Jim Hawkins in search of buried gold, along with a crew of buccaneers recruited by the one-legged Long John Silver. As they near their destination, and the lure of Captain Flint's treasure grows ever stronger, Jim's courage and wits are tested to the full. Robert Louis Stevenson reinvented the adventure genre with Treasure Island, a boys' story that appeals as much to adults as to children, and whose moral ambiguities turned the Victorian universe on its head. This edition celebrates the ultimate book of pirates and high adventure, and also examines how its tale of greed, murder, treachery, and evil has acquired its classic status. The book features an informative Introduction and explanatory notes by Peter Hunt, an updated bibliography, a revised chronology, and a glossary of nautical terms. Hunt includes a Note on the Text that highlights important variants between serial and volume publication and he's added additional appendices, featuring Stevenson's short fable "The Persons of the Tale" and appendix of comparative episodes from Stevenson's sources.

(Introduction, Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. Full text.)
Stephen Douglas could not relocate the Ohio; Lincoln knew it too well. But he had still another story. Whatever status the Missouri Compromise had back in the day, the Compromise of 1850 did not extend the old line and therefore the nation had embraced a new settlement on slavery in the territories. Thus the Missouri Compromise had fallen, even if no one noticed. When both parties endorsed the compromise's finality two years later, they endorsed the new reality. The wheel of ages turned and now they lived in a popular sovereignty universe, not a geographic partition universe.
Lincoln would not have it:
This again I deny. I deny it, and demand the proof. I have already stated fully what the compromises of '50 are. The particular part of those measures, for which the virtual repeal of the Missouri compromise is sought to be inferred (for it is admitted they contain nothing about it, in express terms) is the provision in the Utah and New Mexico laws, which permits them when they seek admission into the Union as States, to come in with or without slavery as they shall then see fit. Now I insist this provision was made for Utah and New Mexico, and for no other place whatever. It had no more direct reference to Nebraska than it had to the territories of the moon.
It did say, right in those territorial laws, that they applied to the territories named. What strange alchemy would extend the provisions of, say, the Utah territorial bill to the plains of Nebraska? Nothing in the words of the law did so, as Douglas would admit. Furthermore, neither the New Mexico nor the Utah bills included even clear popular sovereignty language. At the time, Douglas admitted that no agreement existed on whether or not they put popular sovereignty into operation, or if so under what circumstances. Both territories, late in the decade, did take the latitude given them to pass slave codes, but silence does not explicitly institute policy.
However, say Douglas had it all right about New Mexico and Utah. They had popular sovereignty authorized.
But, say they, it had reference to Nebraska, in principle. Let us see. The North consented to this provision, not because they considered it right in itself; but because they were compensated—paid for it. They, at the same time, got California into the Union as a free State. This was far the best part of all they had struggled for by the Wilmot Proviso. They also got the area of slavery somewhat narrowed in the settlement of the boundary of Texas. Also, they got the slave trade abolished in the District of Columbia. For all these desirable objects the North could afford to yield something; and they did yield to the South the Utah and New Mexico provision.
Even if Douglas had some of the facts on his side, Utah and New Mexico amounted to concessions that the North tolerated in exchange for getting a free California, an end to the public slave trade in Washington, and a reduced Texas.
Now can it be pretended that the principle of this arrangement requires us to permit the same provision to be applied to Nebraska, without any equivalent at all? Give us another free State; press the boundary of Texas still further back, give us another step toward the destruction of slavery in the District, and you present us a similar case. But ask us not to repeat, for nothing, what you paid for in the first instance. If you wish the thing again, pay again. That is the principle of the compromises of '50, if indeed they had any principles beyond their specific terms—it was the system of equivalents.
Lincoln found there perhaps the one consistent piece of the Compromise of 1850: paying up. If Douglas wanted to wrap himself in its principles, then he offer the North some kind of compensation for the Missouri Compromise repeal. Yet none had come. In fact, the Kansas-Nebraska act that went through the Congress contained almost the most absolutely extreme territorial settlement that it could. Phillip Phillips and Archibald Dixon ensured that. Douglas wanted one hell of a freebie. He got his one hell of a storm.

In the Dayton, Ohio, market, Stafford Jewelers is known not only for their great-looking store and fine inventory, but also for their "Happy Dance" commercials to promote their Christmas diamond-buying sale. The commercials aired first aired a few years ago and they were an instant hit. They have brought store owner John Stafford such great brand recognition that he has organized "Happy Dance" contests in conjunction with local radio partner K-99. (The most recent contest winner earned a trip to Cancun.) The storyline behind the "Happy Dance" commercial is women enjoy receiving a diamond engagement ring from their fiancé who shopped Stafford Jewelers so much that they do the—wait for it—happy dance. And men are so pleased with themselves and their ring-purchasing prowess that they're prone to happy dancing as well. In terms of going viral, the unique views on YouTube for the men's and women's commercials total just over 1,500. And Stafford's ads are just as well known in the gem and jewelry trade as they are in the Dayton market. See what industry video marketing guru Nick Failla says about Stafford's "Happy Dance" videos.
Female version:
Male version:
These fun and engaging spots grab a viewer's attention immediately. In just 30 seconds the ad makes some very important points to potential jewelry buyers:
- Stafford Jewelers is fun.
- When it comes to receiving a gift of jewelry, Stafford Jewelers knows what makes a woman so happy she will dance with joy.
- When it comes to giving a gift of jewelry, Stafford Jewelers knows how to make a man so confident that he has made the right purchase, he will dance with joy.
- Stafford Jewelers gets it! The "it" being that when purchasing jewelry the happiness it brings to both the giver and receiver of the gift is the most important thing.
Anyone can "sell" jewelry, but why trust just anyone to help you with such an important purchase when you can shop with Stafford Jewelers, who promises everyone involved in this purchase will be dancing for joy.
Stafford's also does a nice job of promoting their videos to their current audience by posting one on the front page and then dedicating a page of their website to their TV and radio spots. With that said, there are a couple opportunities left open to increase the visibility of both these videos and Stafford Jewelers.
First, it is important to recognize that when you post your video to YouTube you are posting it to a global medium. Keeping this in mind, you want to ensure that potential customers who view your video may want to learn more about you and it should be easy for them to find you. In the "Happy Dance" spots the name Stafford Jewelers is used frequently and so is their logo; however there is no mention of physical or e-mail address. This becomes an issue when you Google Stafford Jewelers and more than one comes up! This would be a simple but very important fix to make.
Secondly, these videos just scream for Stafford's to hold a "Happy Dance" contest! Stay tuned, Dancing With the Stars fans. Maybe disco isn't dead after all.

Pompeo blamed President Obama for setting policy around the interests of individual Muslims, saying it "undermined the concept of the nation state."
UNITED NATIONS — In 2009, President Barack Obama used a speech in Cairo to describe the U.S. invasion of Iraq as "a war of choice" that needlessly fueled tensions between the U.S. and the Muslim world.
Obama said "globalization [had] led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam," and he appealed for mutual understanding.
"Just as Muslims do not fit a crude stereotype, America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire."
If Obama painted in shades of gray, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo used a speech in Cairo on Thursday to put things back into black and white.
"America is a force for good in the Middle East. We need to acknowledge that truth, because if we don't, we make bad choices."
Whereas Obama said the U.S. would only reward states that respected the will of the people, Pompeo chided that focus on a people-centric foreign policy.
"Our eagerness to address only Muslims and not nations ignored the rich diversity of the Middle East and frayed old bonds. It undermined the concept of the nation state, the building block of international stability."
That embrace of state power is especially noteworthy in Egypt, where Arab Spring hopes of democratic reform have given way to widespread repression of free speech, the media and political opposition under President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
Philippe Nassif is the Middle East and North Africa advocacy director at Amnesty International.
"It's incredible because it's a blank check to all of the autocrats of the region to essentially continue what they're doing."
And just as Obama warned against turning groups of people against each another, Nassif says Pompeo talked up a clash of civilizations pitting the U.S. and its Sunni allies against Shia Iran.
"It was such a political speech, and it was meant to go out there and reverse what the United States was trying to reverse after [President George W.] Bush under Obama and support people who were trying to bring about change — in a sense saying, we don't want that because it leads to Iranian domination. It doesn't make any sense."
Case in point, the only human-rights abuses Pompeo cited were in Iran.

Getting into an auto accident can be devastating, and it forces you to make a lot of decisions in a short amount of time. In addition to attending to your medical care and getting your vehicle repaired or replaced, you'll also need to find legal representation, especially if the accident wasn't your fault. But before you hire a car accident attorney, there are several steps you should follow to make sure. Here are a few things you'll need to do as you begin your case.
1. Look over your accident report and documents. After you have a car accident, even if you were injured, the police need to be notified. At some point afterward, you should have

SEA provides a practical and direct means of progressing MDG 7 on Environmental Sustainability (agreed at the UN General Assembly in 2000). This calls for the "integration of the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes". Secondly, SEA also helps further the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation agreed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002, which stressed the importance of "strategic frameworks and balanced decision making […] for advancing the sustainable development agenda".
The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, adopted in 2005, commits donors to reform the way in which aid is delivered to improve effectiveness, by harmonising their efforts and aligning behind partner countries' priorities. It also calls upon donors and partners to work together to "develop and apply common approaches for strategic environmental assessment at sector and national levels". This Guidance aims to respond to these challenges. Drawing on practical experience and established "good practice", it points to ways to support the application of SEA in the formulation and assessment of development policies, plans and programmes.
In view of the great diversity of circumstances across different countries, it seeks to provide a commonlyagreed and shared model that allows for flexibility in developing appropriate applications of SEA to the diversity of needs. It is presented in the context of a rapidly emerging framework of international and national legislation on SEA in both developed and developing countries.

I am eternally grateful to our Lord for how powerfully He used Brother Bruce and this unique ministry in my life. Through Bruce's quiet confidence and gentle grace, I was able to navigate through the darkness of bondage to sexual sin. The heart of his message to me was that my battles would never be overcome without Jesus working in me through the fellowship and prayers of other men. The real breaking point though was when I included my wife in the secret war I was waging and the JESUS in her reaffirmed real love and acceptance for me. Now we are no longer prey to Satan's isolation tactics.

With the economy going for a hit, so many people are looking for an alternative means to dietary supplement their cash flow. One of the methods that funny post people consider is to promote wholesale items. Buying an item at at wholesale prices and advertising that product for retail price can be very successful and a practical income remedy providing that you knows which in turn products to trade, where to find these products, and where to sell these products.
A great industrial cleaning facility solutions provider should be efficient within their cleaning. Managing their time carefully so that the supplier can finish the job in the fastest time probable while maintaining top quality is the key! You should definitely look at the performance of the industrial cleaning services provider that you are considering.
In the the middle of 1800's the particular Napa River has been an area having bustling deal. The coast line of the Napa Lake were padded with industrial plants. The particular waterway was implemented to transport men and women and organic and product which.
You want to discover a supplier that can offer you a great price for the wholesale product or service, but also person who has an excellent reputation. Spend some time finding a company, ask questions, and request for references. This can be accomplished through free classified sites, online research, placing an ad, as well as through addressing people who exchange the items you are looking for.
There is no complex process, it is extremely simple. You send out your information in PSD, PNG, Artificial intelligence etc., towards the industrial services to see your programming project. Your designs/image can vary from a small picture file to your whole web design. Once the industrial services receives your records, they will be sure and confirm the idea with your requirements. After the proof they may require you to pay their particular tariffs (depending on negotiations). Following receiving the obligations they shall start working on the project. You need to wait till the particular allotted time. Using industrial services for these products and services will allow you to entail with other do the job.
Needless to say, this product is a drive to consider with. Nonetheless, similar to each other equipment at house, the idea additionally breaks down rarely. It is possible to prevent earlier deterioration within your vacuum cleaner once you learn the way to maintain and keep clean it proper.
Don't even think about acquiring it from a local retailer. Payable for their revenue right out of your pocket. Alternatively, the best deals are on-line. This reduces the so-called middle man. There are a lot of web sites that have this particular item for sale but you have to have one that offers free freight. Be wary of huge name stores that still mark the price up online.

Up to 300 remote communities spread across Canada have no connection to the North American electrical grid or its natural gas distribution pipelines. For the 200,000 persons living in these off-grid communities, obtaining access to affordable electricity is a constant challenge. These communities include indigenous settlements, villages or cities, as well as commercial outposts and camps for mining, fishing, and forestry activities. These communities rely mostly on locally generated electricity, usually supplied by expensive fossil-fuel generators. The situation inhibits the economic growth of these communities and can lead to adverse environmental impacts, leaving them vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
In the context of identifying unique cross-cutting solutions that can enable a clean energy growth economy in Canada's rural and remote communities, this recorded webinar highlights the example of Xeni Gwet'in. This indigenous community in south-central British Columbia, has developed leading-edge solar, hydrocarbon fuels, and battery storage energy systems integration technology that is delivering cleaner, affordable and reliable electricity to inhabitants.

Since the early 1970s, energy efficiency (EE) has been recognized as the most relevant mechanism to optimize the way we meet our energy needs. For the last 25 years, EE has also been identified as a favoured approach to fighting climate change. The introduction of EE building codes, standards and labels, and energy performance contracting schemes are but a few initiatives developed in Canada over the past 40 years.
Canada's energy sector is overseen by provincial or territorial regulators, which means there are as many distinct legal and regulatory frameworks as there are provinces and territories.
This 60 minute webinar will take a close look at the history and current state of the EE sector across Canada. A quick overview of each province's or territory's history related to the EE sector and how legal and institutional frameworks have evolved will enable participants to understand the key success factors supporting the development of the EE field.
A number of case studies will be discussed featuring utilities, non-profits and private associations highlighting key success factors and innovative initiatives. Major players featured in the case studies include: Energy Efficiency Alberta (which has contributed to the fastest CDM market growth in Canada over the past year), Efficiency One (the first electric-utility-operated EE firm in Canada); the Atmospheric Fund (innovative financing mechanism to invest in urban solutions to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution), and the IESO (which has put capacity-building at the core of its CDM initiatives).

Automated vehicles are a near-term reality. Our ability to successfully navigate a driverless future comes down to how we manage the transition period - that mixed system comprising traditional vehicles and those at different levels of automation. Governments around the world are creating tools that can help us navigate this transition. A Code of Ethics is one such tool.In 2017, a consortium of scholars created a Code of Ethical Principles for the German Ministry of Transportation and Digital Infrastructure. The Code has since garnered interest from many nations within the EU and around the world. Don't miss this opportunity to connect directly with one of the Code's creators for an important and timely discussion about the ethics of AVs.

Research conducted over the last few decades in many western countries confirms that there is a mutually reinforcing relationship between transport poverty (i.e. lack of access to both private and public mobility resources) and social exclusion (inability to fully participate in life-enhancing activities). In these contexts, households that do not own cars are overwhelmingly concentrated in the lowest income quintiles, where approximately only half of households own cars. For low income households with cars, mobility is still reduced -- they make significantly fewer trips and travel much shorter distances than their higher-income, car-owning counterparts. The experience of reduced mobility often means that low income households are unable to fully participate in key activities, such as employment, education, health care and food shopping. It is perhaps for these reasons that car ownership among low-income households in the UK has increased more rapidly year on year than for other income brackets. Yet this statistical trend tells us very little about the actual motivations behind why people living on or near 'the breadline' (i.e. in poverty) are willing to commit so much of their limited financial resources to owning and running a private vehicle. They do so even when they find it difficult to afford other basic necessities, such as food, warmth, shelter and clothing. Much of transportation policy is based on the idea that low-income people do not own cars. Yet a growing body of evidence suggests that this is no longer the case. What does the experience of low-income car ownership mean for our work in transportation, and what lessons learned from other western countries can help guide our efforts here in Canada? Join transportation expert Karen Lucas as she explores these issues and discusses the 'auto motives' of low-income populations, by drawing on case study evidence from different geographical and social contexts over the last 20 yrs.

This webinar will be presented by Alicia Macdonald and Douglas Ruth.Governments across Canada have committed to moving towards a low carbon future. Despite the recent decision by the United States to withdraw from the Paris Accord, Canada remains keen to significantly reduce its GHG emissions. Achieving deep emission reductions will require a multifaceted approach and the Canadian plan includes pricing carbon and eliminating coal-fired electricity.
To get a sense of the economic impact of these types of policies, The Conference Board of Canada, building on research from the Canadian Academy of Engineering, analyzed the economic impact of taxing carbon and moving away from fossil fuels for electricity generation. In the analysis, the economic impacts of a carbon tax starting at $10 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent is discussed as well as the impact of shifting our electricity generation mix.While pricing carbon and shifting the electricity generation mix towards renewables are important components of the emission reductions strategy, a broader approach is necessary to achieve our targets. The Trottier Energy Futures Project (TEFP) examined several possible pathways for Canada to make deep emission reductions. The work done in the TEFP has shown us that it is indeed technically feasible to transition Canada to a low carbon society but doing so will require significant spending commitments. In our study, we aggregated the investment spending required under some of the TEFP scenarios and assessed the economic impact of that investment.Join Alicia Macdonald and Douglas Ruth for a detailed description of the methodology and a presentation of the results of this analysis.

Julia and I have been experimenting with using Hypercat as a two-bath developer. Initial results are very promising. I have some truly crackpot ideas I want to test, for developing high contrast materials. My interest in two-bath development is inspired by scanning negatives, and the advantages of thin, low contrast negatives, but the negatives we've produced so far are well suited to printing in a dark room, as well. We'll keep you posted!
