Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele has admitted he was annoyed by transfer speculation over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer amid links with Chelsea, AC Milan and Tianjin Quanjin.Paulo Dybala's agent reveals the real reason why Manchester United transfer collapsed
The French youngster, who has himself been linked with big names over the course of this transfer window, responded in particular to rumours that Aubameyang could head to the Chinese Super League.
Angered by the speculation, Dembele insists there was nothing to the stories emerging that Aubameyang could look to leave Dortmund for a big-money move to China.
'Aubameyang in Tianjin Quanjian? This is totally unfounded. This is only misleading to the fans,' Dembele told Bild.
'There are no contacts. There are no negotiations, and there is nothing to indicate that. It annoys me.
'I'm glad he's still playing with us. He's like a brother for me.'
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 2016/17 season
Chelsea's interest in Aubameyang is surely off for the time being after they moved to sign Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid to solve their issues up front.
This comes as the Blues expect to sell Diego Costa to either Atletico Madrid or AC Milan before the end of the summer, leading a number of big-name attackers to be linked with Antonio Conte's side this summer.
The 28-year-old has continued to be linked with Milan, but a move to Tianjin Quanjin fell through as it could not be agreed before the end of the transfer window in China.

Last week, word leaked out that the company would be unveiling its updated search engine, code-named Kumo, at The Wall Street Journal's D: All Things Digital conference, which takes place this week in Carlsbad, Calif. Steve Ballmer is on the roster of speakers. Today, Advertising Age is reporting that Microsoft is launching the update, to be called Bing, with an $80 million to $100 million advertising campaign. Compare that with what Ad Age says is considered a "sizable budget" for a national consumer product launch, $50 million. JWT, one of the ad industry's major players, is handling the campaign. One prominent part of the upgrade is expected to be a branding change. Speculation has centered on the code name, Kumo, but last week a leading search analyst, Danny Sullivan, said he thought the new brand would be Bing. Despite the typical big-budget effort Microsoft appears to be setting up, the company faces a monumental challenge in going after a market leader whose name is virtually a generic term for Internet searching. In the latest monthly reports Google continued to hold a commanding 64.2 percent of the U.S. search market in April. Microsoft's Live Search remained languishing in third at 8.2 percent, behind Yahoo with 20.4 percent. Whether the campaign can equal or better the impact that Microsoft's ads appear to making in the company's battle with Apple over laptop PC sales will be one of the closely watched issues in tech for a spell.

The location bar, or address bar, in Firefox displays the url of the website that you are visiting. The website is normally displayed without dashes and contains the protocol, the subdomain, the domain name and the path. A less confusing way especially for novice or insecure users would be to divide the url into different parts.
This makes it easier to distinguish the domain from the rest of the url, which can be useful especially when it comes to phishing websites and other malware sites.
The Locationbar extension modifies Firefox's address bar to use a so-called breadcrumb system in the browser's address bar.It removes the protocol from the address bar, lightens the color of the subdomain and presents the path in a breadcrumb display style. This makes it far easier to recognize the url which is especially good to detect if you are on a fake website.
Several options can change the appearance and display of the url. It is in my opinion useful to remove that the https protocol is not shown as well. This is important to detect fake websites.
Other options change the color of the main url and change to a breadcrumb style display. A click in the address bar displays the full url again.
Note: Newer versions of the Firefox web browser highlight the root domain of the website you are on so that it is distinguishable from the rest of the address.
The Locationbar extension is not compatible with newer versions of the Firefox web browser. While you can still install it, you will notice that it does not remove the protocol anymore or divide the directories in the address bar. You can however press the Ctrl key on your keyboard while you move the mouse over the url to display the elements again.
When you do so, they become clickable and you can visit the directory when you click on it just like before.

I have issues connecting, sometimes with people, but, the 'connection issue' that has me so flustrated right now has more to do with electronics. My dad (the Coolest dad EVER!) gave me a very nice laptop recently. I have frequently been the receiver of his techno-hand-me-downs when he purchases new stuff for himself, but, this time – after a couple of twists of fate – I wound up with a brand new IBM Thinkpad T61. This bad boy ROCKS! Rocks my socks – I'm completely in love, I tell you!
So, what, in Heaven's name, then, could be the issue?! Let me tell you! I cannot stay connected to the internet unless I am in the room with the wireless router. It is really bumming me out.
Take now, for instance, I'm not feeling very well (icky migraine again – ugh!) and I am much more comfortable in my bedroom. It is a very comfy room, after all, and I've got my grandmother's blanket on my lap – you just can't get much better than that! So I came in here and I'm typing my posts up in Word, to be transferred later.
There were two times that I was actually able to connect while in my bedroom, but, they were very short-lived. It was funny, though, because, the second time, I got so excited – I actually got sick to my stomach! What a goof! Well, I really thought I had figured it out and I was just thrilled that it was actually going to happen! (Or so I thought.)
I think I just need a more powerful router, as it is obviously not a compatibility issue, since I can connect while I'm in there. It might just be that this super-duper snazzy new machine is just too much for that old router!

Money, Financial Instability and Stabilization Policy
Edited by L. Randall Wray
Chapter 4: Credibility versus Confidence in Monetary Policy
Edwin le Heron and Emmanuel Carre
Edwin le Heron and Emmanuel Carre Since World War II, three monetary policy regimes have succeeded one another: the Keynesian regime until the mid-1970s, the monetarist regime until 1982; finally a New Consensus gradually forced itself upon central banking. Inside this New Consensus 'inflation targeting' became the prominent regime during the 1990s. This evolution was often explained through the debate rules versus discretion. This would thus give, first, discretion with Keynesianism, then rules with monetarism and the 'New' Classical Economy (NCE) and finally constrained discretion with the 'New' Keynesians. We shall develop the opposition of credibility versus confidence as a more relevant and enlightening way to understand this evolution. In particular, for the last 25 years, a period in the course of which expectations became an important channel in the explanation of inflation and in the implementation of the mon etary policy, we have been moving from a credibility strategy to a confidence strategy. By a strategy of credibility, we mean a Central Bank that adopts a model of behaviour and then follows it. It says what it does and does what it says. With monetarism and the NCE, the model of behaviour issues from the common knowledge of natural laws of economy. To respect these laws, the real model imposes a rule of behaviour to be followed by economic agents and the Central Bank. Then credibility is connected to respect for 'truth' (the natural laws). The simplified chain of the credibility strategy is R-C-C: Rule–Commitment–Credi bility. The...

S M Sultan International Art Camp 2013
Nahad-Ul-Quasem Orchid , September 15, 2013
It was a beautiful dawn in Narail, a south-eastern town of Bangladesh, revered for the internationally acclaimed legendary Bangladeshi artist S.M. Sultan (1923-1994). Nilanjana Nandy from Gurgaon, India and Shakti Nomaan from Dhaka, Bangladesh – two multi-disciplinary artists of 2013's SM Sultan International Art Camp started their journey for site-specific performance art. Artist Nilanjana's performance art titled Dichotomies of the heart, Floating-Fleeting was set in Badha Ghat; a unique landing stage on Chitra river built a century ago by the local Jaminder of Narail. Her performance art on this site engaged local people and spectators in reflecting on the ambiguity of aspiration and desire. Pruning off water lily buds in cyclical fashion and floating them on calm river stream with oration exhibited a serene yet engaging art.
Artist Shakti Nomaan's performance art titled Guilty was set around artist S.M. Sultan's burial place. This performance took account of the lack of the practicing S.M. Sultan's philosophy in art nowadays. Nomaan's piece involved symbolisms of judgmental measurement and expressions of agony and guilt for the current state of affairs revolving around artist S.M. Sultan's legacy.
This year's edition of S.M. Sultan International Art Camp called for artists globally to take part with the theme The Roots. The Roots originated from artist Sultan's philosophy. It was jointly curated by artist Shawon Akand from Bangladesh and artist Satadru Sovan Bhanduri from India. This international art camp is organised by CRACK Bangladesh as a corollary program of annual Sultan Mela organised by S.M. Sultan Children Arts and Crafts Foundation.
In this multidisciplinary art initiative, the form, character and tendency of Roots and the potential inhabitants of such an existence were brought forth for creative interpretation. Artists were encouraged to do artworks in different mediums, especially site-specific and environment friendly artworks, utilising local materials.
Apart from the two mentioned already, other participating artists were: ABS Xem (Dhaka, Bangladesh),Afsana Sharmin Jhuma (Chittagong, Bangladesh), Aishwarya Sultania (Delhi,India),Anadi Boiragi (Dhaka, Bangladesh), MrugenRathod (Baroda, India), Polash Chowdhury (Dhaka, Bangladesh), Saiful Jarnal (Dhaka, Bangladesh),Samyak Manandhar (Kathmandu, Nepal), Satadru Sovan Bhanduri (Delhi, India), Shaheen Mahmood Reza (Khulna, Bangladesh), Shawon Akand (Dhaka, Bangladesh) and Sundar lama (Kathmandu, Nepal), a total of 14 artists from three countries.
Artists from India, Nepal and different parts of Bangladesh arrived in Narail on August 23, 2013. The camp residence was set in the Narail Shilpakala Academy. The Initial few days were spent on exploring the local milieu and visiting places memorable for artist Sultan's art practices. Participating artists set out their individual journey to discover different dimensions of the theme Roots and at end of each day, they shared with each other what they felt and discovered. This scope for effective regular exchange of thoughts benefited all participants in enriching their interpretation and artistic inspiration. Then artists started developing their artwork idea with the sharing from curators who in turn were also developing their own artwork thoughts.
This art camp's open-day was in line with Sultan Mela on August 30 and 31, 2013. After a week's deliberation artist produced a number of artworks in different mediums. Performance and site specific installations dominated the league.
The open day started with performance arts at Badha Ghat in the morning. First experimental collaborative performance Floating Sky was conceptualised by Satadru Sovan. Artists Shakti Nomaan, Satadru Sovan, Nilanjana Nandy, Sundar lama and Samyak Manandhar participated in it. Then they made a second group performance at the stairs of Badha Ghat titled Buoyant of Chitra River which was performed by the same group of artists.
Later Artists Samyak Manandhar, Aishwarya Sultania, Sundar Lama and Afsana Sharmin Zhuma had individual performances.
Samyak Manandhar's performance art Rediscovery revealed the artists improvisation on the materials we tend to relate with origins and living.
Titled as Bhanwar (Whirlpool), Aishwarya Sultania's performance art at the Badha Ghat stairs exemplified both the centrifugal and centripetal forces induced by the thought of roots. She utilised water lily collected locally to act out the derived forces.
Sundar Lama's performance was titled Mukti. With red hands and feet he slowly emerged from the river, after a few movements on the Ghat floor he returned to river to complete the art by floating handmade paper figurines there.
Afsana Sharmin Zhuma's performance art Where is the artist? engaged the spectators by drawing responses from within. The blue ball jumped backward and forward from her hand to the audience, so were the words. People participated in this interactive performance art. It invoked a sense of artist's journey for discovering her own place.
Artist Nilanjana Nandy created another performance art titled A dot that went for a walk. Group of children from local theatre participated in it. The training, props and the design was forged by Nilanjana. Her artwork was exhibited as a work-in-progress. It portrayed the inherent dynamic character of singular static entities.
Artists Polash Chowdhury and Afsana Sharmin Zhuma collaborated on a site specific installation (Transformation of Pain) and performance(Give the Pain to Release the Pain). The site was an ancient tree that is locally believed to possess a power to relieve people's sorrow. People come here and hang a stone or brick in the name of their agony and it is aspired that their sorrow leaves them with the tree. Polash created a sitting man posture with shattered glass mirror that he hung with ropes from this tree's branch, which also had bricks at its bottom while Afsana hung numerous little handmade earthen objects at other branches of the tree with blue strings. Later she hung herself by strapping a cloth around her waist. The site situated beside a main road attracted a lot of people during this hour-long performance. Artists endeavor to manifest their own interpretation of roots in its local milieu transformed this collaborative artwork into a strong statement of soul searching.
Bangladeshi artist Afsana Sharmin Zhuma's performance art One dream has to be drowned to make another one true... was set in Badha Ghat beside the river Chitra. Here, the artist juggled with dreams and aspiration in a dynamically fluid and mutually exclusive manner, as if our dreams are out there struggling with each other for being realised at each other's expense.
Artist Satadru Sovan's site-specific installation Abandoned Love was set in Narail ferry ghat beside Chitra River. The drawings on paper and polypropylene sheets were wonderfully placed on the deserted ferry jetty, which only serves as boat landing stage nowadays. People crossing the river through this ghat witnessed this artwork on their way and halted to look more closely. It connected the audience with the emptiness of deserted affection and desire. His second site-specific installation at the same ferry ghat was titled Water Liles. It was synthetic prints of blue graphic collage, assorted over water hyacinths at the deserted jetty. These lovely prints intrigued audience who came closer to inspect them.
The human Imprint (Chhaap-e Dhora Maanush) was a site-specific installation by Indian artist Nilanjana Nandy at partly installed at Narail Ferry Ghat. She took samples of people's unconscious urges depicted in various wall writing and created a conscious assortment of the excerpts. This deliberate sampling caught up the nature of core human urges to express themselves. The other part of the installation was set up in the local Victoria College (est.1886) games room. There it became an interactive art with audience reactions being instantly incorporated into the exhibition. This was quite an engaging piece for the locals.
The site-specific installation Memento of S.M. Sultan by Nepali artist Samyak Manandhar was set around Sultan's grave. This artwork with self explanatory title was created with bamboo and light-bulb of different sizes and colors, including water lily buds with electric lights inside. The occidental enlightenment of artist S.M. Sultan was depicted nicely in this installation.
Satadru Sovan's performance art titled Old Kingdom, at the archaic drama stage of Victoria College, was co-performed by Shakti Nomaan. The feudal notions of power was revisited in it, and because of its theatrical setting, audience found similarity with its language.
Different mediums were engaged by various artists in the camp. Artists Polash Chowdhury, Anadi Boiragi, Shaheen Mahmood Reza Rajon and Saiful Jarnal got engaged in discovering the meaning of Roots through mystical Baul songs. They performed with traditional music instruments and shared their experience of root through songs.
Indian artist Mrugen Rathod's piece National Carpet was a fish figure created with bamboo mat and covered with ethnic Bengali towels in red (Gamchha). The audience were drawn inside the display room with a blood stained white cloth leading to its resting ground. At the end the cloth was left to float in the river. It resonated a commonly held figurative connotation of fish out of water that ultimately returns to its origin.
Roots in a Motion was Nepali artist Sundar Lama's site-specific installation and performance. A collage on the wall with hundreds of drawings, images, text excerpts and his live performance in front of it, evoked a sense of motion in the context of roots.
Shadow Casting by Bangladeshi artist Saiful Jarnal was a performance art that involved shadow play. It engaged audience in rethinking the notions of humane male-female relationships at its core.
The open day ended with Loop – an experimental performance art conceptualised by Bangladeshi artist Shawon Akand. The site-specific performance was held on the fairground, just beside fair's cultural programme stage. All of sudden, artists Polash Chowdhury and Saifu lJarnal rolled out a thick rope loop from within the crowd and created an amoeboid blank cordon with it. They tried hard to undo the rope loop with thin, paper made hammer and nails. This experimental piece portrayed the perceptual loop that human beings often wants to break free, yet ultimately fail to do so while fighting with its intangible properties.
The multiple layers of interaction among participating artists and local art practitioners created a healthy exchange of ideas and germinated new grounds for collaboration. Art is a complex process and it cannot be separated from life. Every form of art has inter-relation with life and it is necessary to develop vigorous inter linkages between every field of culture to create a favourable environment for progress of artistic practice. On this note the S.M. Sultan International Art Camp was quite a fruitful event for the participating artists and the local audience alike.

Page 5: Conclusion
Cocoa is an important export crop for a number of West African countries and will remain so. It has an important role to play in employment, farmers' incomes and export revenue generation.
To take full advantage of these opportunities however, farmers need help to develop more efficient and sustainable ways of growing cocoa (and other crops too). The cocoa and chocolate industry is actively engaged in making such changes possible through working with all interested parties, including farmers themselves. Such developments will best ensure that there are adequate supplies of cocoa to make the chocolate that we enjoy.
By doing this, the cocoa and chocolate industry has actively helped to provide a better and longer-term future for all those involved in it. This supports the economic, ecological and social interests of cocoa farming communities. In a modern and everchanging world, it has helped them to build a supply chain that is improving the lives of millions of people.

A fracture is a potentially serious injury, damaging not only bone but also the soft tissues in the surrounding area—tendons, ligaments, muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and skin. Fractures may be the result of direct trauma, e.g. an impact to the leg, or indirect trauma, e.g. when the foot is trapped, causing the athlete to fall awkwardly and break the leg.
Types of injury
Skeletal fractures may be transverse, oblique, spiral, or comminuted. When the fractured ends of the bone pierce the skin the injury is an open or compound fracture ; when the skin remains undamaged, it is a closed or simple fracture. With compound fractures there is a great risk of infection to the bone, and special treatment is required. If the fracture involves an adjacent articular joint surface it is called an articular surface fracture. An avulsion fracture means that a bone attached to a muscle or ligament has been torn away. The different types of fracture displacement are angulation, rotation, and shortening. The aim of any treatment should be to return the fractured ends as precisely as possible into their correct position, that is, to reduce displacement and return the bone to its normal alignment by manipulation. For fractures in children and adolescents.
Associated soft tissue injuries
The soft tissues around the fracture are often damaged by sharp fragments of bone, and the more violent the impact the greater the risk of extensive soft tissue injury. Such injuries can increase hemorrhage and delay healing, and may even cause more problems than the fracture itself. It is rare for major blood vessels and nerves to be damaged when a fracture occurs, but this may be a complication of fractures of the humerus just above the elbow, and fractures of the wrist .
Certain sports lead to characteristic injuries: fractures of the lower leg predominate among soccer players; fractures of the forearm are common in gymnasts; and fractures of the clavicle in horseback riders.
Symptoms and diagnosis
The following features suggest that a fracture has occurred:
– swelling and progressive bruising in the injured area;
– tenderness and pain around the site of injury caused by both movement and loading of the limb;
– deformity and abnormal mobility of the fractured bone.
Sometimes fractures may cause few or none of these signs and symptoms. This can be true of fractures of the neck of the femur or of the humerus when the fractured surfaces of the bone are driven into each other, becoming firmly impacted and giving the fracture stability.fractures and may allow an early return to training and competition. This can be achieved by use of
fracture bracing, orthotics and, in some cases, by external fixation (using a frame system).
– In cases of fracture with displacement, the fractured ends are realigned by manipulation (reduced) either without surgery (a closed procedure), or with surgery (an open procedure). In the latter case, internal fixation of the fracture is achieved by the use of cerclage (steel wire), plates, screws, rods, pins, or nails. Internal fixation usually also requires the application of a cast or brace, which can be removed after a short time; some cases allow early immobilization without a cast. External fixation may be used for open fractures.
Active muscular exercises such as flexing and lifting must involve all parts of the body not in a cast to maintain general cardiovascular fitness and avoid muscle hypotrophy. Muscles inside the cast can be exercised isometrically; where movement is possible dynamic exercises can be included. The length of time spent in a cast or brace depends on the location of the fracture, its severity, and the rate of progression through the healing process. A fracture of the wrist may be immobilized for 4–6 weeks, whereas a fracture of the lower leg is likely to be in a cast or brace for at least 3 months, and an equal period needs to be spent undergoing rehabilitation following removal of the cast.
Stress fractures
Stress fractures (also called fatigue or insufficiency fractures) occur most frequently as a result of repeated loading of the skeleton over a long period and are probably preceded by periostitis.
Stress fractures can appear following the application of a normal load at high frequency (e.g. long-distance running); of a heavy load at normal frequency (e.g. repeatedly running 100 m (or 100 yards) carrying a second person); or of a heavy load at high frequency (e.g. intensive weight training). The last is the most dangerous, as it is likely not only to cause stress fractures but also to overload other tissues. There is an increased incidence of stress fractures in athletes because of an increase in bone width and hip rotation. Athletes with leg-length discrepancy, or excessively high or low foot arches, also have increased incidence of stress fractures. Running more than 100 km (60 miles) per week and playing basketball are associated with stress fractures, and these injuries are more common in young people and in women. There is also a greater incidence in women with menstrual disturbances and eating disorders, and in women taking oral contraceptive medication.
There are two theories about the origin of stress fractures. The fatigue theory states that during repeated protracted effort, such as running, the muscles pass their peak of endurance and are no longer able to support the skeleton during impact as the foot strikes the ground. The load is therefore transferred directly to the skeleton; its tolerance is eventually exceeded and a fracture occurs (in the same way that a paperclip breaks after repeated bending).,
The overload theory is based on the fact that certain muscle groups contract in such a way that they cause the bones to which they are attached to bend. The contraction of the calf muscles, for example, causes the tibia to bend forward like a drawn bow. After repeated contractions the innate strength of the tibia is exceeded and it breaks.
When a stress fracture occurs, the athlete should:
– rest the injured area for 2–8 weeks depending on the type of injury until the pain has resolved and healing can be seen on X-ray;
– keep up conditioning in the swimming pool or by cycling;
– gradually return to activity when activities of daily living are pain-free, and when there is no local tenderness.
The doctor may:
– prescribe crutches to relieve the injured part, especially in a femoral neck fracture;
– apply a walking boot or a plaster cast for 2–6 weeks if the pain is severe, or if the fracture is located on the tibia, navicular bone or the proximal fifth metatarsal;
– check the progress of healing with X-ray examinations;
– pay particular attention to stress fractures in the femoral neck, the anterior aspect of the medial tibia, proximal fifth metatarsal, and navicular bone.
These fractures often need surgery in order to heal and in order to allow the athlete to return to activities within reasonable time without risking complications.
Stress fractures are to be avoided, and risk factors must be analyzed and eliminated. Athletes should assess their training methods with the coach, trainer, physical therapist, and physician, and pay particular attention
to footwear and equipment. The time it takes tissue to adapt is important. Other risk factors include the 'female triad' of menstrual disturbances, low bone density, and dietary problems . Bone geometry and biomechanical abnormalities should also be analyzed.

The annual fall car show, holiday bazaar and open house Oct. 15 at Alden Place is many things, but the one thing it's not is a high-pressure sales event.
Instead, it's a free and relaxing opportunity for visitors to experience life at this 55-plus active adult community nestled in the woods just over the Lancaster County border in historic Cornwall.
Families can admire the classic cars, browse locally made crafts, enjoy a variety of concessions and take a hayride through the scenic grounds, where they'll discover a picturesque sylvan landscape, a fully stocked lake and a 17,000-square-foot clubhouse.
Most of all, visitors to the event will discover the heart and soul of Alden Place — its residents. They will be manning the model homes. They will be working at the bazaar and car show. And they will be making and donating the concessions.
"That's the neat thing about our community," says Bill Martin, architectural designer and new homes consultant for Alden Homes. "Our residents are proud of it."
Alden Place is actually two private communities — Alden Place at Cornwall and Northgate at Alden Place.
When complete, Northgate will feature 60 lots of single-family homes. Alden Place will include a total of 443 homes, a combination of single-family homes and two- to three-unit villas.
Both communities share a host of amenities, including the Alden Club, a clubhouse featuring an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, fitness center, library, billiards, ballroom and cafe. Optional clubhouse membership is $25 per month.
Alden Place backs up to the 14.5-mile Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail, perfect for walking or biking through woodlands and pastoral countryside.
Visitors to the Oct. 15 event can explore all of those amenities, plus the car show, which drew 150 vehicles last year, and the bazaar, which will feature more than 20 vendors.
And of course, there are the homes. Visitors can walk or take a hayride to each of the stops.
Three models will be open during the event, including The Elizabeth and The Stanford — both in the modern cottage style recently introduced at Alden Place.
The Elizabeth not only won best of show in its division at this year's Parade of Homes, but it also swept all other categories, including best exterior, interior design, kitchen, bath and landscaping. It also won for best decorated.
The Stanford took best exterior and interior design and best decorated honors in its division.
More than 1,100 people visited each of the homes during the recent Parade, many of them discovering — and falling in love with — the warmth of Alden's take on modern design, says Liz Borg, interior designer and director of sales.
They've been busy with home sales ever since, not only with buyers who want a modern look, but also with those who are simply attracted to another hallmark of Alden's modern cottage design — efficient use of space and smart technology.
In addition to The Elizabeth and The Stanford, both single-family homes, the fall event also will include an opportunity to tour a more traditionally designed villa, reimagined with Borg and Martin's creative flair for making smaller spaces live large.
Martin and Borg will be on hand in an information tent, should anyone have questions or want to learn more about fall incentives available during the car show.
Hours for the open house and the bazaar are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The car show runs from noon to 3 p.m.
Car owners can register their motor vehicles 25 years or older online at aldencarshow.com or simply bring them the day of the event. There is no judging.
Registration for the car show is free, but donations will be accepted. The cost of food at the event is also by donation. All proceeds benefit Lebanon County Christian Ministries.
For more information, call 717-376-1199 or visit www.aldenplaceevents.com.
Regular open house hours for a tour of the fully furnished model homes and the Alden Club are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Directions from Lancaster: Follow Route 72 North toward Lebanon. In Quentin, turn right at Route 419 and follow for a half mile. Community is on right.

Published at Friday, April 26th, 2019 - 22:11:33 PM. Resume Template. By Alvar Sauer.
A resume is more than just a list of your professional background, skills and education. Administrative resume examples show that a good resume is more like an advertisement, where the job seeker advertises himself to the human resource officer. By reading your resume, the employer should see at a glance whether you are the one he is looking for, or not. He should also be able to make a decision whether he wants to meet you in person or not.
Now that you understand how resume examples will help you create an impressive resume, you need to take time to find the best example for you to use. Before you choose the one to use, be sure you look at all of the example options so you can make sure the right one is decided on with confidence.

Episode 118: Interior Designers Fernando Diaz and Kelley Jackson
This week, you will hear from two amazing interior designers, Fernando Diaz and Kelley Jackson. Fernando and Kelley are interior designers with a bold, fearless sense of style and both apply a tactical approach to strategic use of color. These conversations took place at Wattles Mansion just prior to the closure of the design house. You have been hearing from Wattles Mansion Designer Showcase designers in pairs in previous episodes. It has been so much fun to try and pair designers using at least one common theme and that is no exception here. This episode is about color. Use of color to make a statement, being bold, taking chances and tying it all together. Both designers do this masterfully. Fernando is Cuban-born, well traveled and adds touches from his travels in his work. You will hear about his use of vibrant, colorful, visually interesting beer steins and contemporary art pieces from LA artist Clara Berta to open up a heavily wood paneled library. Fernando uses furniture from Mitchell Gold - Bob Williams and rugs from AgaJohn to put this library together. Kelley Jackson attacked the ladies lounge with early California style in keeping with the time of Wattle Mansion but shrouded it in a pink haze . With Monterrey furniture and Anders Aldrin art and pillows she crafted herself. This space is filled with natural light from a southern exposure which caused the room to literally change color shades as we spoke. Please enjoy this episode with interior designers, Fernando Diaz and Kelley Jackson.
Creating the programming for a four day event like the LA Design Festival can be a daunting task. It requires an eye for uniqueness, an ear for new sounds and a thought process geared towards surprising and delighting a tough crowd. Haily and her talented team created a fun, original and creative programming portfolio for this years festival. This is how they designed it. Spoiler... They listened to you.

Erin and I went to speak with a realtor this morning. It happens to be the same lady who helped Judd get into the place he purchased a month or so ago. She seems extremely great and willing to work with us, which I suppose is why Judd ended up working with her to begin with. I consider Judd an excellent judge of people in general.
The Short Form: we probably can't afford a very nice (big) house, but it's always possible that somewhere out there lies in wait a nice little 1500 sq ft two bedroom home for under $550,000.
The Longer Form: we need to figure out exactly what we want in a home, and then start looking. We need to speak with a lender to see if anyone's crazy enough to give us $500,000 on the finger. We need to come up with a mortgage payment we can make each month. We need to do a lot of things and, if we're serious, we have to be ready to move into a home before November 21st, which is when our lease on 1371 Norman Dr. is done with.
We've got a lot of stuff to learn about, and money to save in the next 7 weeks. Wish us luck.

Make them fall off their chair
Whether you're looking at a company's website or listening to somebody's pitch, your brain is looking for comfort: it wants things to be clear, well organized, even obvious. Because your brain is lazy, it doesn't want to make efforts that seem useless. I've already insisted on this: Don't make people think.
But there's another aspect to it: when your brain is exposed to comfort for too long… it falls asleep! So, here and there, you need to feed it with contrast, surprise, originality.
- In a pitch: I've already mentioned how effective it can be to look ridiculous. In contrast with most entrepreneurs usually looking serious or inspired.
- On a website: contrast can come from unexpected colors, bold copywriting or unseen images.
Have a look at this website by Ici On Communique. It's the portfolio of a web designer I strongly recommend.
First, look at the text of the button: "bla bla utile" ("useful blathering"). It's quite odd - hence bold - from a website about communication! You don't need the whole website to feel awkward. Just here and there is enough.
Now look at the picture supposed to illustrate the idea of ergonomic. More original than the usual computer picture, isn't it? Yet the title ("Ergonomie") is simple enough to provide full comfort to you lazy mind.
Note: The drawing used for the banner image is by Armelle Goraguer and is sold on L'Illustre Boutique (a website designed by Ici On Communique).

by William James
for Jacob Bannon, Jeffrey Eaton, Pat Flynn, Aaron Bedard, Sean Murphy, etc.
Punk rock kids might not all believe in god,
but we all every one of us believe in loud—
our favorite benediction: If it's too loud, you're
too old, & we race forward in cacophony, future
hearing loss be damned, because the hot fuzz
hum & crackle of the first time the guitar plugs in
carries us away on beating wings, & it ain't like
we got some golden chariot to sweep us into heaven
so we seek out glory where we can—the rasp of
a singer barking like a pack of wild dogs, guitar
strings marionetting us into our own hallelujah
while the drums beat, pound, & chisel our granite
bodies like a master sculptor, carving away the excess,
all our unnecessary rock, 'til we are flawless,
our hands reaching up as if to pray, to call down
fire from on high, & the volume from the PA
melts away our imperfections & our sins. Punk kids
may not all believe in god, but we believe in loud.
Believe in the inferno. Our haunted houses
burned down by sweat-drenched angels in Christ
pose, handing out blessing with every passed mic
or shared chorus, our litany of banshee screams
no less sacred than the holiest of psalms.

Olympia craft beer store closes over lapsed liquor license, owner says
Gravity Beer Market in Olympia has closed because its liquor license lapsed, according to a sign on the store's door at 1001 Fourth Ave. E.
"We neglected to renew our business license," says the sign, which notes the store is working on getting a license to start serving pints. "We can't sell you delicious beer for a little bit while we straighten things out."
Gravity Beer Market opened in 2007 and has become popular for its microbrew selection and growler fills. Store employee Scott Brummel took over ownership from Jeff and Roma Bert in 2015.
Brummel could not be reached for comment and no information is available on a possible reopening. The phone number for the store has been disconnected.
An employee at the neighboring Grand Vin Wine Merchants said she has been unable to reach Brummel and said the beer store has been closed for nearly three weeks.

Southampton Support Group
Our Lymphoma Action group welcomes everyone, including patients, family and friends. Why not come along and join us?
Meeting day and time
We usually meet every month on a Wednesday, from 2pm to 4pm.
Please see below for meeting dates and other information.
21 August
18 September
16 October
20 November
18 December
Going to a meeting
Anyone affected by lymphoma (minimum age 18 years) can attend a Lymphoma Action support group. You don't have to book or even let us know beforehand that you are coming along - just turn up, you'll be made welcome.
There is no charge for attending a Lymphoma Action support group, though donations help us to continue to provide local support.
At your first meeting, you will complete a registration form, which also enables us to keep in touch with you about future meetings. You can request other types of information, including our popular Lymphoma matters magazine, on the same form.
You can attend our support groups as often and for as long as you need - you aren't expected to come to every meeting and don't have to tell us if you won't be there. If you move on but then want to come back, perhaps because of a change to your lymphoma, that's fine, too.
Going to a lymphoma support group for the first time can feel like a big step. If you would like to talk to someone about it, you are welcome to call our Freephone helpline on 0808 808 5555 (Mon-Fri 10am-3pm) or email us at email@example.com
Macmillan Centre, B Level, East Wing, Southampton General Hospital, Tremona Road, Southampton SO16 6YD
Enter the hospital at the Eye Unit, then follow signs to the East Wing. The Macmillan Centre entrance is through the courtyard before reaching the East Wing. There are very helpful maps showing how to reach locations in the hospital on its website.
Travel and parking
Car parking space at Southampton General Hospital is limited at peak times, so allow extra time to park before the meeting. You may wish to consider coming by public transport - see below.
The best car park to use is the Blue carpark, which is nearest the venue. The main Orange car park is a longer walk.
The Blue car park is accessed from Tremona Road, near the Eye Unit. You'll need to collect your ticket on entry and keep it with you, so you can pay at the pay-on-foot machine near the exit barrier and use the ticket to exit the car park.
Entrance to the Orange car park (maximum height of vehicle 6'6") is also off Tremona Road and has the same ticketing system, with payment at the machines located on the ground floor by the entrance to the car park before returning to your vehicle, then using the ticket to exit.

Yesterday we went walking in Agua Caliente Park to see the ring-necked ducks. They're wintering in the warm spring-fed lake. (See Firefly Forest post of January 22 for fine photos and to learn more about these lovely little ducks.)
At the entry, we spotted this prickly pear cactus (Opuntia engelmannii) growing in the trunk of a palm tree, about twelve feet above the ground.
Even though this species is drought tolerant, it appears that the severe dry spell we've been having has taken its toll on this plant. I don't know if prickly pears commonly grow like this; it's the first time we've seen an example. I assume that the seed must have been deposited in the tree by a bird. (Anyone know?)

I've been to this park numerous times, and I have never noticed this oddity. What can be keeping this cactus alive?

In upper Garden Canyon on Fort Huachuca, there's an Arizona Sycamore with a Clock-face Prickly-Pear (Opuntia chlorotica) growing out of one of its crotches (sounds painful, don't it?). Ringtails are another possibility - they love fruit and are great climbers.

I was up in the Bay Area one Saturday and while Amanda was working I visited the Shadelands Farmer's Market in Walnut Creek. Of course all my neighbors from the Central Coast were there, selling. There were a couple interesting booths though like the olive people. They sold several different varieties of cured olives, tapenades, and one of their best sellers..the Dirty Martini Mix by the quart bottle. The other booth that caught my attention was Scream Sorbet.
Scream based in Emeryville has been around just under 2 years. It's creator Nathan Kurz who was an engineer and foodie. He invested in a Pacojet a unique piece of Swiss machinery that pulverizes sub-zero frozen whole ingredients at a rate of 2000 rpm, turning it in seconds into the smallest possible particles That process is not available anywhere in the world for retail ice cream," boasts Goldner, "only a few high-scale restaurants use it." Besides the amazing texture, the process enables the Scream team to experiment easily and endlessly, making and tasting combinations with the ingredients they just purchased.
I had an amazing Coconut Sweet Potato Pie Sorbet taster and forked over my $9.00 for a half pint. The ingredients were Happy Boy Farms Organic Sweet Potato, sugar, water, coconut milk, and organic spices.
Totally amazing
I gave a home recipe a shot with a slightly smaller budget. The PacoJet is about $4000.00 so I skipped that and broke out my cusinart ice cream and sorbet maker($65.00 at Costco a year ago) I popped open a $1.25 can of organic sweet potato puree, some homemade simple syrup, coconut milk, and conventional spices. Turned out quite good!
1 15 oz can sweet potato puree
8 oz simple syrup
4 oz coconut milk
3/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
In a blender combined all ingredients until well mixed and flavors were right. Scoop into ice cream maker and spun for 18-20 minutes and into the freezer.

I'm so glad you found your issue was not so serious and could be fixed for a lot less than what you thought it would cost. I've learned a lot over the years and the #1 thing is that sometimes it's an easier and less expensive fix than it appears.
I once needed a headlight bulb replaced not long ago, The headlight that was needing replacing was on the drivers side which seemed to cause a big issue in the mechanic shop's world. They wanted to charge me $150 US money to replace the bulb because it required a lot of labor just to get to it!
I refused to pay $150 for 1 headlight bulb! I decided to go to YouTube. If you don't know, YouTube it and most likely you'll find something there to help you and now that I found this site, here is a good place too.
I found a step by step video from a man who had been in the same situation and had to learn the hard way.
It was pretty simple! The bulb was pretty pricey, but it is an LED bulb. I think it was close to $30 US money. That's far better than $150!!
We live, we learn, and we hope to make the best decisions. Even I as a woman, was willing to find a less expensive avenue to explore.
I do have a situation though, maybe you can help…
I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe. The port where you plug in your GPS or Phone charger and the USB plugin fuse is bad. I replaced the fuses more than once and BAM! out again! What do you think is blowing the fuses? It's driving me crazy! LOL Maybe you can find some clue out there that I haven't found yet. It's very aggravating.
Thanks for your honesty!
Thanks for the quick response!! I have the perfect person to check these issues out. I will go that route before I spend too much money paying someone to fix it. Thanks for your honesty.
Best of luck to you,

UK – To kick off the year-end business, the British industry service provider Trade Only once again organised the APG expo this year. The contact platform for promotional products suppliers and distributors supplements the Trade Only National Show – the biggest British promotional products trade fair – that is held in February as well as the Spring Shows.
The series of events that was able to set a new exhibitor record with the participation of 115 suppliers got underway on September 10, 2014 in the Sandown Park Exhibition Centre in Esher, South England, before stopping off at Manchester United Football Club the next day. On September 17, the roadshow reached its final destination at the Red Cow Moran Hotel in Dublin, Ireland.
According to official accounts, overall more than 600 distributors took this opportunity to inform themselves about the latest trends in a relaxed atmosphere. "Time and again, APG delivers what people want at this time of the year – face-to-face contact between exhibitors and distributors. We had a number of first time exhibitors this year, who were amazed at how effective the shows were. Visitor quality was also very good with many leading distributors in attendance," commented Nigel Bailey, Event Director at Trade Only.


text: Too much things to finish and you have the deadline to think about and having a lot of problems regarding with your family. These could be some of the possible cause why a person is always under the influence of stress. In many places in America, this is a common reason for some to suffer in depression that sometime may lead to Chiropractic Albany OR. This is very usual to people who are having a big problem and then sometimes they will drive their cars and because of too much worry that they feel. They forgot that they are driving and it may lead to a serious car accident on the road. Of course, we should consider as well that different people have different kinds of stresses and it may differ to the level of the stress that they are suffering, too. You could also know from the way the person behaves and acts. It may include thinking too much, sleepless nights, don't like to eat most of the time and even becoming thinner. Here are some of the ideas that you should think more than with your problem.

Raconteur, troubadour, balladeer and poet, Mick Thomas is best known as the song master of pub-rock icons Weddings Parties Anything. His ever-evolving talents as a writer and performer define a career as intriguing as it is enduring.
The Album titled 'These Are the Songs': is a lovingly crafted compilation album spanning the past eighteen years and more of Mick Thomas' creative life. From the wry and laconic observations of 'The Lonely Goth' to the wit and whimsy of 'You Remind Me', the soaring growl of 'Hard Currency' to the pure joyous on-the-road fun of 'Sleep on Your Floor' and 'The Last of the Tourists', this is a classic set of tunes performed by a loose but lovingly selected bunch of players. The album is the companion to Mick's new book These Are the Days, a joyous autobiographical tale of an inspired and uniquely Australian creative force.
The Book titled 'These Are The Days': is a book of stories that all starts with the songs. How they got written, where and why they got written, and why they still get played. And its about the people – in the various line ups of the various bands, the people in the studio, and in the audience at the countless shows. And its about when Weddings, Parties, Anything first called it a day back in 1998 when Mick quickly realised there was no good night to go into. The book follows the stories of 31 songs, each including stories and a song chart.
Doors: 2pm
Tickets: $32.50 (pre-sale), $35 (door)

In response to my last post about some advice for a 5'x10' bathroom remodel, I received an email, with pics, from a reader who had remodeled his small bathroom.
This is going to make your jaw drop.
John Walsh the owner of a Spanish / Craftsman Bungalow in Minnesota, did a great job.
Here are the before pics.
It was dated, tired, with fixtures that weren't working well, and as he said, the toilet was way too small. He figured out that with the location where it was, it had to be small or the door swing would hit the toilet on the way in to the bathroom.
In this two bedroom, one bath home, his bathroom needed to function better. Especially since he was not yet ready to add on to the house with a new master suite, which he planned to do on down the road.
He switched the toilet and sink in the remodel for a more logical location and created this spectacular, updated bathroom with some classic touches that stay true to the style of the home.
We often modify the windows in a bathroom, just like he did here, getting rid of dated glass block and doing higher windows, especially in a shower situation like this.
I just love it!
Thanks, John, for sharing your small bathroom makeover with us!
Here are some of the products he used.
All bath faucets: Kohler Purist line
Toilet: American Standard Town Square
Tub: Kohler Performa series
Sink: Duravit Vero Wall Hung with Sink Console in chrome
Got a bathroom or kitchen makeover you'd like to share? Upload a photo in the comments below and I might feature it in an upcoming post. :-)

I call this rocky little cove Macauleys Cove. It's rocky and rough and the seas crash up against the rocks. This photograph was post processed in photoshop. I used camera raw to set auto setting, fix chromatic aberration, and lens corrections for my 16-35mm lens. The in photoshop I set auto tone and contrast and applied a slight warming to the image.
The sun disappeared behind this dark of clouds illuminating it from underneath and softly lighting the ocean and foreground rocks.

A GROUP of parents are calling for a new secondary school to be built in Birmingham to prevent their children being "cast to the four winds" at the age of 11.
Parents in Selly Oak claim there is no obvious choice to send their off-spring when they reach secondary level.
They highlight the fact that a class of 30 Year Six pupils at one school - Raddlebarn Primary - ended up at ten different secondaries last year.
The group claims options available to them involve children walking considerable distances and in one case having to cross a park.
Residents recently met Birmingham's Councillor Les Lawrence (Con Northfield) to discuss the possibility of expanding secondary provision.
David Faers, whose daughter Fay is in Year Two at Raddlebarn, said: "I just think it is a shame that the pupils are potentially cast to the four winds when they get to the age of 11.
Birmingham City Council appeared to rule out establishing a new secondary school. But Coun Les Lawrence (Con Northfield) said other solutions were being looked at such as extending schools and altering admission criterias.

Project details
Architect: Ushida Findlay (subconsultant to Arup)
Contractor: Sir Robert McAlpine
ArcelorMittal Orbit is a 114m structure with observation decks at 80m and 85m, giving panoramic views of London. It is both an accessible piece of public art and a visitor attraction.
An external stair spirals down from the observation decks, functioning as part of the visitor experience and as escape stairs. It is enclosed by a frameless stainless steel mesh providing the necessary sense of enclosure whilst allowing good views out. This enclosure looks more solid when viewed from the ground, than from within. All walkway floors and stair treads are punched steel panels, giving glimpses of what is happening below. Visitor comfort is enhanced by underfloor heating and cooling, a tuned mass damper at the top of the lift shaft structure, and a mixed mode environmental system for the observation decks.
The project was delivered via an intense set of linked workstreams: design, approvals, procurement, manufacture, installation and commissioning moved ahead in parallel.

Seventy year celebration done yesterday, now I am an old man. In Korea, in the old days, the celebration was when a man made sixty - of course with modern medicine and good health more men were making that mark, so they shifted it to seventy. Practical folks.
What I marveled at was that all those beautiful young ladies are still beautiful ladies, fifty some years later. How did they do it? Good hearts, strong spirit and joy and laughter? I met my wife some fifty years ago, married her about three and a half years later after I removed the governments from the plan - one of the reasons I know governments are made of people with fool notions. I was talking to Mister Wong, a Chinese gentleman, that thanks to his family, the communist government and Hong Kong under the British had no papers as a child. He has over the years made himself a paper trail, his name became spelled differently, and he has traveled. Kind of an Asian Obama tale.
Anyway, fifty years with my wife has been wonderful. Even when she tries to control me from the passenger seat. Means she cares, not that she doesn't trust my judgement.


text: The study found: Around 9 percent of kids allergic to tree nuts outgrow their allergy, including kids who have had a previous severe allergic reaction. Kids who are allergic to multiple types of tree nuts are unlikely to outgrow their allergy. 58 percent of kids with tree nut specific IgE levels of significantly less than 5 kilounits per liter exceeded an oral challenge. Predicated on these findings, researchers recommend that children with a current tree nut allergy become re-evaluated periodically by their allergist/immunologist to assess whether they have developed a tolerance and whether an oral challenge should be given. While an ideal cut-off is not established, researchers claim that oral challenges is highly recommended in kids four years and old, and who have less than five kilounits per liter of tree-nut specific IgE within their blood.However, I believe there remains a substantial unmet medical need for new therapies, particularly for individuals who present with or develop thrombocytopenia while on treatment. We are pleased to possess the PERSIST-2 trial underway to evaluate the ability of pacritinib to address this matter. PERSIST-2 is a randomized, open-label, multi-center scientific trial analyzing pacritinib in patients with myelofibrosis whose platelet counts are less than or add up to 100,000/uL.

Cloaking devices make objects invisible by diverting light waves. The same principle may also prevent earthquake damage.
Earthquakes can cause massive loss of life, often because buildings fail and people get trapped inside.
Great advances have already been made in making buildings more earthquake-resistant. But what if buildings could actually become invisible to quakes?
To be sure, engineers already lay rubber shock absorbers under some buildings to protect against earthquakes. But Parnell's cloak should prevent the structure from feeling Love [dangerous zigzag] waves at all. And, additional calculations indicate the cloak could potentially lessen the impact of other types of seismic waves — such as P waves, which alternately compress and stretch rock as they move through the ground.
The concept is currently being tested by researchers. And while a building-sized rubber cloak may be many years off, early applications may include protecting key structural elements or important electrical infrastructure. You can read more about buildings that are invisible to earthquakes over at the Smithsonian.
