Dear fellow friends, Athletes, Judges, Coaches, Assistants, companions,
Colleagues and Board Members:
The Costa Rica World Rafting Champs Committee has been working very hard to provide
an event that will not only test the athletes ability to compete in Class IV whitewater,
but we are also creating an Eco- village close to the competition site, where everyone
should be comfortable, eat well, be healthy, enjoy local entertainment, participate in
proper waste management practices, even plant trees to mitigate the carbon offsets of
your travel and become the first Carbon Neutral World Championship in any sport.
We have chosen the best possible set of rapids to test everyone's ability to paddle difficult
whitewater. As safety is our major concern the safety team is made up of Class V paddlers with
many years experience all year on Costa Rican rivers. Tori and Roy, safety team leaders, have
over 20 years experience alone and lead a team of more than 25 kayakers, oar boaters and other
safety personnel.
The access to the race sites is extremely challenging. If we did not make this effort to
set up the events in these locations we would be back on a Class III champs which was never
our idea. The remoteness of the area provides a chance for you to interact with the most
pristine rain forest – otherwise why come to Costa Rica, paddle a great river and integrate
with the local community.
For all having been said – we will need your cooperation on sending your registration before
the deadline of August 15, we need to be strict on this matter as logistics to organize this
event will not tolerate last minute sign ups. In short, due to the complexities of the event
and the need to set up the entire event structure ahead of time, no payments after August 15
will be acceptable. Payment of your registration fee should be included and forwarded as soon
as possible.
We are making a huge effort to get enough sponsors to not only to set up the event but build
a village, transport you around and feed you very well. I have never heard of a sports event
or holiday that costs $150 per person all included for 8 days, so please be a part of making
this a memorable event.
We will continue to feed you information that will be important to your comfort, well-being
and planning for this WRC. Tours will be offered before, during and after the Worlds, so
that you get the most out of our country. Be prepared to compete in warm, long-technical,
steep, Class IV plus whitewater, videos coming.
Please send all your inquiries to us directly, and don't be fooled by alternative web pages.
Rafael Gallo
Event Director
IRF President
As for the training rates, accommodation, food and transportation for the weeks
before the WRC for competitors have the following items:
– Lodging at camp: $15 per night per person
– Food: $25 per day per person
– Raft rent: $50 per day per team
– Safety kayaker: $50 per day per team
– Transport to and from the river as well as transport of boats will be shared
amongst the teams that are training previous to Oct 5th first official training.
The cost may vary between $5.00 to $15.oo per person.
To provide the best facilities for the WRC, we need to know certain things about people
that are coming.
We need the registration forms for each team (Or the date when your National
Selections will be taking place.)
We need to know the exact number of people that are coming, meaning – team members,
coaches, spectators, media people, etc. This is because we need to make
reservations for the people that can't stay at the Eco Village Camp
where the teams will be staying. (Please understand there is limited space
so we cannot accommodate everyone there. The earlier you register the better.)
We need a passport size photo of each team member, and coaches, to make the Camp's ID.
You need to pay the entry fee as soon as possible to confirm your participation.
A copy of each passport, and passport information (of each team member and companionship)
Travel details (arrival and departure date of each team member and companionship)
We need to know athlete's blood type and allergies, in case people know it, it's
better for us to have this kind of details
In the following dates we will be sending the list of requirements that each person will
need for the WRC week.

When you store feed or feed raw materials there is always a risk of losing nutritional value or contaminations with molds, bacteria and/or yeasts. Of course you want to limit this as much as possible to provide animals with safe feed with a high nutritional value. Well preserved feed or feed raw materials will keep its nutritional value for a longer time.
Organic acids such as propionic acid have shown to prevent molds for long periods of time. When you prevent molds from occurring, not only do you prevent the reduction of nutritional value, you are also protecting animals from the harmful effects of the mycotoxins that these molds would have produced.
And that while it is classified as non-corrosive! Our star product in the area of preservation is ProSid™ MI 700. It assures reliable preservation of feed raw materials that lasts for longer than even pure propionic acid. And that while it is classified as non-corrosive. Read more about ProSid™ MI 700 here >>

Communities in cities around the world continue to struggle with gentrification as a consequence of urban policies, the growth of urban economies, and other urban phenomena. Gentrification's effect on the housing market is particularly contentious, as it pushes low-income and other racial and ethnic minority groups out of their neighborhoods and further into urban peripheries. In a move to better understand gentrification, a study shows how leadership across American cities is resorting to GIS Mapping to identify areas that are or will undergo gentrification and how to prevent it.
Gentrification in the City
With the growth of the sharing economy in recent years, many have begun to blame hotel-like services such as Airbnb for pushing low-income and other racial and ethnic groups out of their homes. And although services like Airbnb have exacerbated the problem, gentrification can hardly be attributed solely to the rise of the sharing economy.
As real of a challenge as it is, gentrification has become somewhat of a buzzword to sweep a number of urban problems under the same rug. However, that makes it more difficult for urban planners and policymakers to tackle and remedy gentrification as an individual rather than a catch-all urban challenge. Terms like 'revitalization' and 'integration' have become juxtapositions to gentrification to identify what and how the phenomenon impacts communities in different parts of the city.
Using Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping gives urban planners and policymakers a bird's eye view of gentrification, making historical comparisons and predictions more precise. Although it is being used primarily to develop more appropriate housing policies, GIS mapping also takes into account a city's transportation network and development projects underway.
For American cities, GIS mapping divides communities by ZIP Code, meaning the lines used to divide cities are not necessarily reflected on GIS maps, allowing stakeholders to better identify when and how gentrification is taking place.
GIS Mapping in The City of Angels
In 2015, Los Angeles began using GIS mapping to better understand which ZIP Code areas across the city have been experiencing gentrification and to prevent displacement. With support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti's Innovation Team went out to get a better picture, quite literally, of the city.
After studying the potential impacts of gentrification on the city of Los Angeles, the city published The Los Angeles Index of Neighborhood Change in 2016, which allowed the wider public to inquire into which ZIP Code areas experienced gentrification between the years 2000 and 2014. The City was able to put the map together using data made readily available to the public, mostly from Census and American Community Survey (ACS) databases.
The city-sponsored GIS map identified areas of the city that have or will experience gentrification by looking at six different criteria including education, income, race, rent, and household size. Using these measurements, different index scores were calculated for varying degrees of gentrification. Accordingly, different areas of Los Angeles were scored for gentrification on a scale of Very High, High, Medium, Medium Low, and Low. Some parts of the city were above the income threshold used to calculate the index scores and others were not evaluated.
One of the most intense effects of gentrification is the displacement of a neighborhood's residents due to rising rent and cost of living as well as availability of affordable housing. And to the misfortune of many, this has been slowly but readily spreading to cities from Oakland and San Francisco to London and Istanbul.
To better understand this aspect of gentrification in Los Angeles, the Innovation Team at the Mayor's Office sought to put together a map titled The Los Angeles Index of Displacement Pressure. The map aims to help predict which neighborhoods will experience displacement as a result of recent gentrification efforts by looking at transportation development projects, rent-burdened households, and the proximity of neighborhoods to other rapidly changing neighborhoods, among other factors. An attempt to fuse both GIS maps together was made in order to produce a single tool that serves both the wider public and urban planners and policymakers.
In 2016, another initiative, called The Urban Displacement Project, came out of UCLA and UC Berkeley as well as California's Air Resources Board (ARB). The project was an attempt to look at changes in L.A. neighborhoods as a result of gentrification through GIS mapping.
The map, like the others put together by the City, measured gentrification by looking at the racial and ethnic make-up of neighborhoods, changes in rent, and the economic health of low-income cohorts. The Urban Displacement Project also looked at household income and varying levels of education for all groups measured for the map, which the maps by the City did not do. The map also measured gentrification over two decades, between 1990 and 2000, and 2000 to 2013. When accessing the map today, users can view changes in either decade or both as well as view areas of Los Angeles that weren't impacted by gentrification at all.
The Urban Displacement Project found that areas around expanding transit networks were becoming whiter, richer, better educated, and had rising rents. Accordingly, these same areas began losing residents of color, those who were less educated, and less wealthy.
Between both attempts to map the impact of gentrification, the Urban Displacement Project is seen to be more dynamic to the wider public without coming at the expense of influencing urban public policy since it highlights the specific reasons behind the thrust of gentrification in LA.
Same Struggle, Different City
Alongside Los Angeles, cities like San Francisco in California and Portland in Oregon have used GIS mapping to better understand how gentrification impacts neighborhoods in their cities. The struggle for many cities is striking a balance between revitalizing or integrating emerging urban economies and maintaining the social and economic fabric of neighborhoods.
What GIS mapping has done for urban planners, policy makers, and the wider public is help explain how cities can continue to grow without pushing people of lower income, the less-educated, and people of color out of their homes. By looking at how gentrification has continued to act in decades past, urban stakeholders can adjust transportation development as well as large-scale development projects in a way that doesn't come at the expense of the minority.
Although GIS mapping may be used to slow down or alter the trajectory of gentrification, it is just a tool for understanding how multiple social, economic, and political dynamics in cities can perpetuate, exacerbate, and even cause gentrification. It is up to city leadership to foster urban growth in an inclusive manner.

Thomas Markle also told "Good Morning Britain" on Monday that Harry was "open to the experiment" of Brexit, the decision for the U.K.to leave the European Union.
Though he changed his mind after speaking with Meghan and Prince Harry, Markle said his medical condition ultimately prevented him from traveling.
Thomas Markle is a 1962 graduate of Newport High School in Perry County, Pennsylvania.
Heart surgery the week before the May 19 wedding meant Mr Markle couldn't travel to walk his daughter down the aisle of St George's Chapel, Windsor.
The retired lighting director opted not to attend the nuptials of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex last month because he was recovering from heart surgery but he watched the ceremony on TV and "cried" when he saw his "beautiful" offspring exchange vows with Prince Harry.
As for the invasion of his privacy after the engagement was announced, he said: 'I'm very proud of her, and I'll adjust to this.
He said he pulled out of attending and walking his daughter down the aisle for her second marriage because he couldn't get over what happened.
He said his daughter, who is now the Duchess of Sussex, introduced Prince Harry to him as "a nice guy from England".
"She's wanted children for a long time", Thomas said of his 36-year-old daughter.
He has yet to meet his daughter's grandmother-in-law, but looked forward to the experience.
He added: "I want to have a nice, normal relationship with my royal family as well now".
"Well, obviously, that all went to hell, and I feel bad about it", he said.
"I was very proud and I couldn't see a better moment in my life", Markle said.
"I can't think of a better replacement than someone like Prince Charles", he told the programme. He also said the series of staged paparazzi photos taken the week before the wedding was "a serious mistake". They're great and I love then dearly.
Of course, Harry and Meghan had to turn it out for such a lovely occasion, and they sure did!
"Meghan told me first", he said of the wedding plans, then "a couple" of phone calls later Harry - who he was told to call "H" for security reasons - got on the line. "I sort of disagreed with that but I still like Harry".
On the subject of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, or Brexit, Markle said: "It was just a loose conversation about something we have to try".
In the end, Meghan walked down the first part of the aisle unescorted, before she was joined by Charles, Harry's father and heir-to-the-throne.
And of Meghan Markle's mother, his ex-wife Doria Ragland, who cut a stylish but lonely figure as the only member of Markle's family to attend the wedding, he said: "My ex-wife is a attractive woman". It went wrong. I spoke to them [Meghan and Harry] and I apologized. "There was no real commitment to it", Markle said. I have had respect for that woman since I was a child.

Three painters at the Tartu Art House
Tartu Art House
29 June / On Thursday, 5 July at 5 p.m. Indrek Aavik, Edgar Juhkov and Kaspar Tamsalu will open a joint painting exhibition "The Edge of Being" in the Tartu Art House. The exhibition is curated by Joanna Hoffmann.
Aavik, Juhkov and Tamsalu have studied together in the master's programme of the Faculty of Fine Arts in the Estonian Academy of Arts. They are also united by the fact that before taking the conceptual curriculum of the EAA, they had graduated from bachelor's programmes that have a strong technical basis: Aavik and Juhkov from the Painting Department of the University of Tartu and Tamsalu from Repin State Academy Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in Saint Petersburg. The EAA's method, that has moved away from technical skills, has enabled all three artists to develop an individual professional style that can often get lost in purely academic environments. Such symbiosis allows the artists to skilfully use traditional methods in a contemporary manner.
At the exhibition "The Edge of Being" the three authors depict our surrounding contemporary world through the perceptive approach of the artist. Aavik focuses on post-apocalyptic and deserted urban landscapes where desolate streets and abandoned car wrecks hint at the past activities of people. Juhkov turns towards the garden plots of the Tartu Chinatown where the presence of people is usually only perceptible through the atmosphere. Tamsalu has been inspired by people: their position, attitude and the gaze that has been turned away from those who have entered their space. The three artists form a multi-layered approach to the anthropogenic environment of the 21st century: distant and intimate, bygone and continuous, perceptible and explicit.
The exhibition will remain open until 29 July.

Theism, Atheism, and Economic Disaster
It is not without great significance that, as Christian philosophers and theologians wrestle with a recent great assault on faith in America made by a group of so-called New Atheists, economists wrestle with what many are calling the worst financial crisis during the past seventy-five years. In an essay published in The Chronicle of Higher Education (April 2007) David Barash favorably labels such New Atheists, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett along with the late Carl Sagan, as "the four horsemen of the current anti-religious apocalypse," and Barash subjectively commends what he calls their "rational vision," "brilliance," and "wisdom" as he claims that Dawkins "demolishes . . . the hoary [theistic] argument from design." In his excellent 2008 book, The Delusion of Disbelief, former Times senior correspondent David Aikman includes journalist Christopher Hitchens in the New Atheists' list as a result of Hitchens' best seller, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. Dawkins has welcomed Hitchens to the "gang of faith slayers" and dubs them "the four musketeers" (Aikman 3).
What does an atheistic movement in America that aims to rid the culture of every vestige of Christian theism have to do with the financial woes of Wall Street and Main Street? Aikman, who for several years served as Time Bureau Chief in Eastern Europe and Beijing, answers this question in a reference to "a commentary that appeared in the Beijing Evening News, a government-controlled newspaper, in February 2007, in which the writer lamented, "in recent years, the lack of faith in core values has brought us pain and suffering: we've seen too much corruption, cold-bloodedness and cheating; we can't trust anyone; we can't buy a single food item without worry. . . . [I]n sum, nothing can be trusted, everything is risky." He continued, ". . . [A]s [German political economist and sociologist Max] Weber pointed out . . . '[T]he success of worldly economic activity is not in the creation of wealth to be enjoyed and squandered, rather it is to confirm the grace and favor one receives from God—this is the very [mechanism that] . . . constrains immoral behavior'" (170-71).
There is a definite correlation between the increasing secularism and skepticism in America and the social, moral, political, and economic woes characterizing today's American culture. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer (Romans 1:15-32). It is time for those who claim adherence to the Christian faith to unleash the power of the gospel with a loving, intellectually sound (cf. Acts 26:25), and aggressive presentation that aims to permeate every aspect of society. Will we answer the call?

On Sunday night at AT&T Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the New York Giants. What did we learn from this Week 1 showdown?
So much for the New York Giants having the Dallas Cowboys' number.
On Sunday night at AT&T Stadium, the defending NFC East champions stifled Eli Manning and company, 19-3. It was sweet revenge for Jason Garrett's club, which was swept by the Giants a year ago.
It was also a big night for Cowboys' veteran tight end Jason Witten. He scored the only touchdown of the game and became the franchise's all-time receiving yardage leader. Other than that, it was another ho-hum outing for New York's offense dating back to last season.
Highlights Posted Live as They Happen
Three Stars
1. Dak Prescott
The second-year signal-caller was sharp against the formidable New York defense. Prescott connected on 24 of this 39 throws, good for 268 yards and the game's only touchdown – a 12-yard toss to Jason Witten. He also ran three times for an additional 24 yards The Cowboys ran 71 plays for 392 yards and controlled the football for 34:14.
2. Demarcus Lawrence
The New York offense was basically a no-show on Sunday night and Lawrence had a big hand in that. He finished with five tackles (3 for losses) and two sacks. The much-maligned Dallas' defense limited New York to 233 total yards and kept the Giants out of the end zone.
3. Damon Harrison
If there was a bright spot for Ben McAdoo's club, it was the play of arguably the league's best run-stopping interior defender. Yes, the Cowboys reached the century mark on the ground. But Dallas' front line had a tough time trying to stop the burly Harrison, who snacked on Jason Garrett's guards and center this evening and finished with five tackles.
Garrett's Cowboys opened as a 5.5-point favorite for the NFC East showdown and when it was all said and done, easily covered the number. And if you took the under in this contest (47.5), you had to be feeling pretty comfortable all evening.
Next Week
For the second consecutive week, the New York Giants will have to be ready for prime time. The Detroit Lions visit MetLife Stadium next Monday evening. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys hit the road and will clash with the Denver Broncos. The latter will be coming off a Monday night showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers.

WHOIS is the name of search tool that lets you find the certain information, and is publicly accessible. When you create a website, you register a domain name. Once you register the domain name, ICANN requires you to list down that information in a public database. It is the information available to anyone who uses WHOIS protocol, and anyone can look up the owner of that domain name. WHOIS database requires mailing address, contact number, and email address of domain owner, which is publicly available.
It is pre-requisite requirement by ICANN to include genuine and accurate information on database. They influence registrars to take reasonable step or expel any customer who lists down inaccurate ownership details in the database. As a domain owner, you need to fill correct ownership details for domain you want to register. Moreover, ICANN also provides an option of WHOIS inaccuracy complaint form. It allows internet users to submit reports to ICANN-accredited registrars regarding incomplete or inaccurate WHOIS data. They analyze each report submitted to them. And, then they take action after report status is deemed valid or either invalid.
WHOIS search tool holds the relevant information about a domain name. People use WHOIS Lookups to see the ownership, registrar information or contact details for a domain name. The record usually includes name of registrar, domain name, contact information of registrant, name servers and dates of domain registration and expiration. It is also used by network controllers to troubleshoot naming issues and Internet addressing. But, the record can also be misused by spammers and hackers to collect information to spam or attacking on the network. The good thing about WHOIS database is you can make an immediate change to your domain registration, like edits to name server(s) and information related to registrar.
WHOIS database is like an international directory of all domain names. Whenever you start the domain registration procedure with DreamHost, that domain is first searched in WHOIS database to check its availability. WHOIS lookups provide their services free of cost. There are a lot of free WHOIS search tools. One of them is Tucows.
Some other uses of WHOIS database are:
- Regulates the availability of a domain name
- Correspond the registrar, if any copyright violations happen
- Identify the stress involve in registration
- Establish the real-world name and whereabouts of online dealer
- Look into spam websites

Foodbank takes its first delivery as volunteers prepare for launch
Keynsham's Foodbank could be ready to hand its first food parcels to those in need by next month.
Keynsham's Foodbank could be ready to hand its first food parcels to those in need by next month.
Volunteers have received 1,000 kilos of food from the 1,800 kilos donated by shoppers at Tesco Keynsham last month and shared with Bath's Foodbank. On Friday, July 26, the hundreds of tins and packets were taken to the group's base at Broadlands Academy for storage.
The group is now hoping to hold more collection days this month before the Foodbank's two distribution points - St Francis' Church and Victoria Methodist Church - open for service.
Foodbanks give food parcels to people who receive a voucher from a professional such as a social worker or health visitor, by the Citizens Advice Bureau or a council One-Stop Shop. Co-ordinator Alan Hale said: "The Foodbank is open for anyone with the voucher. It is not driven by the fact that you are on benefits – you may well be in work in a low-paid job and the choice is eating or buying shoes for the kids, or if you are pensioner then the choice might be heat or eat.
"We, the foodbank team, our volunteers and clearly from the collection, the people of Keynsham are not going to let people go hungry."
To get involved, whether you are an individual who can volunteer or a school or business that could help with collections or fundraising, email keynsham firstname.lastname@example.com or ring 0117 983 7923. Non-perishable items needed by the Foodbank include tinned meat or fish, pasta or rice and cereals.

We understand each individual has different skills, competencies, preferences and priorities and not everyone fits in every organization. Our professionals help Coachees determine in which jobs, work environments and organizations they best fit and would be most successful; plan how to reach their career goals; position Coachees for career advancement; and advise them throughout their career management activities.
Not everyone has the skills, knowledge, temperament and resources to be a successful business owner and manager. YET. Some have the temperment, however need to develop the other capabilities. Others may have competencies, but not the personality characteristics and mindset.
These can be developed.
Many become confused by hearing snippets of Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki and The Total Money Makeover author Dave Ramsey denigrating "J-O-B-S," believing they are implying that entrepreneurs are successful while employees are unsuccessful. Some abandon rewarding careers only to discover, after experiencing typical entrepreneurial challenges and lifestyle, that they were happier as an employee. There is NO SHAME in CHOOSING to be an employee at a company
which you do not own.
Many employees are very successful, not only materially, but also in many other aspects of their lives. Individuals who strategically approach managing their careers, can position themselves to be well-compensated for doing work they love.

WILLIAMS, Ariz. — The city of Williams has terminated their contract with City Manager Bill Lee as of March 15, according to Mayor John Moore.
Lee was relieved from his duties after leading the community for just three months, the city announced.
The resignation is effective immediately.
Moore said Lee was asked to leave when it was determined the council had a vision for the city that was different from Lees'.
"After 90 days on the job, the city council determined he just wasn't a good match for the city of Williams," Moore said.
Lee stepped into the position following a six-month vacancy after the departure of former city manager Skylor Miller, who was hired in July 2016 and resigned in July 2017.
Moore said the council tries to put the right players in key positions who will do well for the city.
"Unfortunately the last couple of years, it just hasn't worked too well," he said about the turnover in city managers.
Moore said the city clerk, city manager and chief of police positions are at-will, which allows the council to easily fill and/or release people form the positions.
U.S. labor law defines at-will employment as a contractual relationship in which an employee can be dismissed by an employer for any reason, without having to establish a cause for termination.
"They answer directly to the council," Moore said of the positions. "They don't have all of the protections by law that regular city employees have. You have to have more control over the people in the key positions."
Lee began work as the new city manager for Williams Dec. 4 after nine years as the city manager in Somerton, Arizona, a community of 17,000 on the outskirts of Yuma. Lee has worked 27 years in city government positions and prior to Somerton, worked for Camp Verde.
When asked what specific direction the council wants to go, Moore said the council is continually concerned about water, infrastructure and day to day operations of the city.
"The council has a lot of experience dealing with water and the major issues that arise," Moore said.
He said the council has no immediate plans to announce the vacant position.

Beneath the Black
Group Show
July 20-August 8, 2014
Gandhara Art Gallery, Kolkata
"Black is fear, Black is dark, Black is grotesque,
A colour – just another mark…
But what if Black is Beautiful!!!
And when it is…"
The tale of 'Black' is a journey of life and death, a metaphor of love and hate, an anecdote of joy and sorrow, a sign of chaos and a signifier of protest. To decipher black from its core in layers, visual artists from all over the world have attempted in turns in different ages and phases of history and come up with brilliant experience and range of creations with this darkest shade of colour that covers all other shades in a go. 'Beneath the Black' can be treated as one such collective endeavour of the visual artists of the 21st century who have tried to dig into the black and decode a saga of secrets hidden within it, somewhere the search has led to a stroke of light, somewhere it is even more darker and at many places it is an amalgamation light and dark. With profound emotional impetus, each artist participating in the second version of 'Beneath the Black' exhibition conceptualized and hosted by the Gandhara Art Gallery in Kolkata very recently, has put their personal touch in the execution of the artworks instead of just laying some odd experimentation with art given on a subject. One likes it or not, finds it interesting or boring or finds it worth to be made a part of their collection or not should not be the evaluating factors for this exhibition. 'Beneath the Black' - one such concept has to stay within us, remain with us and also form a part of our journey beyond such petty judgmental comments like "who's the artist/creator…, well this work looks good…, oh! This one is too simple…, I like it but don't know how to restore it – what's the point in buying then…"
Mithu Sen, Amritah Sen, Adip Dutta, Manjunath Kamath, Jayshree Chakravarty, Piyali Sadhukhan, Radhika Agarwal , Sambaran Das and Debnath Basu, though technically would be referred as just the participating artists of this exhibition, 'Beneath the Black – Part 2', but restricting them just to the boundary of a show would be a limited way to look at their works even if they are exclusively meant for this show only. Mithu's years of experience coupled with experimentation with any object can transform into the biggest subject of thought. This is emblematic of Mithus Sen, so why not 'hair' this time which tells a lot about what lies beneath the black. Amritah explores others' stories in her personal anecdotes and shares the universal approach of being a smaller particle in the larger flow of life. And this time the subject of experience is 'fear' and the form of experimentation is book-art. Debnath has addressed his emotional content related to 'existence' and 'nature' on such a scale that his finest and minutest depiction with graphite creating an impression of each and every detail is simply spellbound to take a viewer in an inward journey of one's own reflexes and emotions. Manjunath tries to knock the door of hope as a possible outcome that lies beneath the darkest webs of the black and Adip in his drawing on a sheet decodes from the most unimportant stuffs of life that are otherwise so relevant that you can't do without them just like the black, which even if you try to avoid will always be there. Jayshree continues in her pursuit of abstraction in search of invariable shades of black in oil and acrylic.
A round of applause should also go for Sudipta Sen, the mind behind this concept. Her thoughts and subjects have always given the birth of unique and extraordinary out of the regular and the ordinary and though after a break, she has put forward this exhibition in her own gallery, we hope to see many more of this kind in the days to come.

Former IU captain Daryl Thomas dies from heart attack at 52
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The man who set up Keith Smart's game-winning shot in the 1987 National Championship game is dead.
Indiana University announced Wednesday that former captain Daryl Thomas has passed away at the age of 52. Reports indicate that he died of a heart attack.
Thomas played for the Hoosier from '83-'87 and grabbed All-Big Ten honors. As a senior in IU's last championship season, he averaged 15.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.
His best game ever may have been the title game against Syracuse down in New Orleans. In addition to dropping 20 points, he backed down Orangeman Derrick Coleman and dished the ball out to Keith Smart for the game-winning corner shot.
Thomas hailed from Westchester, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago, and was the current boys' basketball coach at Montini Catholic High School in Lombard, Illinois.
He finished his college career with 1,095 points and 419 rebounds over 106 games.
Indiana basketball and Coach Miller shared their condolences on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.

OSLO: Norwegian telecoms group Telenor said on Wednesday it has suspended two executives, including its chief financial officer, over a probe into the handling of affiliate Vimpelcom's entry into Uzbekistan.
"As a result of Telenor Group's previously announced external review by Deloitte of the group's handling and oversight of its minority ownership in Vimpelcom Ltd, Telenor has today temporarily relieved CFO Richard Olav Aa and General Counsel Paal Wien Espen of their responsibilities," the company said in a statement.
The company, however, said it had no reason to believe that the two executives had been involved in alleged corruption at Vimpelcom, which is being investigated by police in the United States, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Norway.

This mornings session I finished friggin' with the riggin' and final cross member on the rolling frames.
First order of business was the pulley blocks at the top of the Gin Pole. I bought a 1' length of 5/16" chain to wrap around the u-bolt. Removed the hook from the pulley and replaced that with two 5/16" QuickLinks.
The last part of the puzzle was the final (3rd) beam (crossmember) or whatever you want to call it. It will take part of the strain from the second pull and will get pulled by the hand winch to pull the hull sideways towards the Gin Pole.
This afternoon I'll start disassembling the strongback & forms and begin lowering the rolling frame with the hull to the floor.
Afternoon Update
After an email exchange with my buddy Jim decided to switch the cable end around a bit. It would have likely gotten bound up if I had left it on the shackle so I put another Quick Link on the second Quick Link and put the cable end on that. This way the pulley block and cable end will move together with no chance of binding up. Looks messy but I think it'll work.

Fiat Chrysler plans to expand factory capacity to build new Jeep models
Fiat Chrysler plans to add more factory capacity over the next few years to support building two new Jeep models, including a return of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, CEO Mike Manley told CNBC.
Manley would not say how many jobs Fiat Chrysler might add or give a time frame for when those new assembly lines would be up and running.
"Those plans will have to go in place in the near future," Manley said as the Detroit auto show kicks off in Detroit Monday.

It's been two hundred twenty-six days since my life fell apart. My roommate Leslie says that I have to move on, but how do you move on, when your heart is paralyzed?
"Let's go. The invitation says that happy hour runs from six to eight. I want to get twice as drunk for half the price." She shoves some cash into her purse as she talks toward me.
She stops and gives me a once over. Her eyes scan me from head to toe. Shaking her head in disgust, she marches me back to my room.
"What?" I look at her questioningly. "This is fine. What's wrong with what I'm wearing? I wore it to Tracy's bridal shower."
"Exactly, it's perfect for the country club, not the salsa club." She rummages through my closet and begins to toss things at me. "Put this on. Pair it with these shoes, and be out in less than five minutes, or you're going naked."

Being confident
A person sitting in a long que waiting for his turn to make the best of the available opportunities by being interviewed for his dream job. The only thing he is lacking is the lack of self-confidence that whether he will be selected or not or for that matter, will the interview go smooth enough to support his selection? This is criminal. In today's fast paced world, lacking self-confidence is more or less a sin. If it is your dream job, then go and make it count. Be sure that they will not kill you if you answered wrong.
Confidence is knowing yourself while keeping an eye on the things happening around you. In short it is self-awareness as well as situational awareness. If you are confident enough about your personality and skills that you possess, then there is no force in this world that can stop you from becoming what you want. Once a person asked Dalai Lama that who can make this world a better place? He very gently replied that the person who can realize his own potential and possesses self confidence in his abilities, he is the one.
Confidence is something that every person is born with. It just gets lost somewhere along the road as you grow up. Some are able to attain it and make full use of it. While those who feel lacking it lacks in almost every field. But as already described that it is just the ability of self-awareness and situational awareness, it can be regained at any stage of your life.
Try to find your strengths and weaknesses. Every person have former and latter. It will be even better if you can make a list of both. Write down at least five of each category. Now is the time to work on them. If your lists are correct, then you need to practice strengths and improve upon those areas that give you room to play with. Within few days, you will feel to enjoy the strengths while overcoming your weaknesses simultaneously. This will give you sense of achievement as well as feeling of fulfillment in your day to day activities as well.
Positivity is the key in being confidence. People often stress out and starts thinking the worst possible outcome of a small little situation. What if I say that do the same but positively. By that I mean that start thinking of being successful in every venture that you undertake. Some might claim that predicting future is living in a dreamland. But we do the same as just explained when one person is stressed out. This leads us to one important aspect of life and that is to think positively even if you attempt going against the wind.
Confidence is not a myth. More than half of the successful people you meet every day made it big at some stage of their life when their confidence was sky high in what they believed doing and finally achieved it by their sheer confidence and hard work.

The problem with sin is that we
want to have our cake
and eat it too,
just like Pharaoh,
who wanted to have his slaves
and free them too.
But not to decide
is to decide,
and not to give in
is to remain stubborn
and that has an effect.
We all think
/or want to believe/
that no matter
what we choose
we automatically
revert back to
this neutral default place
after each decision,
that our choices
don't have any lasting
But that's ridiculous.
If you've lived in darkness
your entire life
and someone suddenly
turns on a light
you are no longer a person
who has only known darkness.
You cannot return
to saying that you do not know
what light looks like.
You may say it still,
all right,
but in your heart
you know it's not true
and that has an effect.
God is the Light of the World,
that Great Confronter who
scouts out
runs down
and passionately pursues
His darkness-dwelling
He would not dream
of letting you remain
forever in your darkness.
He knows nothing of
live and let live,
has no hands-off policy,
and is generally unaccommodating.
He does not prefer to avoid confrontation.
As surely as He lives,
you live,
and as surely as He lives,
you will experience Him.
And when you do,
you cannot return
to saying that you have never
experienced Him.
You may say it still,
all right,
but in your heart
you will know it's not true
and that will have an effect.
And if you persist
in ignoring or avoiding reality
for long enough
you may just find yourself
in a chariot
at the edge of the sea,
unable to bat an eyelash
at the rising walls of water,
unable to wonder how or why the briny deep
is drawing back to reveal dry ground,
unable to think twice
before rushing headlong
into the foregone destruction
of a hardened heart.

In 2013 the city's Open Space Plan recommended that a streamline process be created to allow residents to access city-owned vacant land to beautify their communities, and to hire a point person to manage the projects. In 2014, the city hired an Open Space Specialist, and began to engage community stakeholders like GTECH, Grow Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, Penn State Extension, and Tree Pittsburgh, as well as city departments with a concern as to what happens on city land including Real Estate, Finance, DPW, the Mayor's Office, and Sustainability. The result was the Vacant Lot Toolkit, a guide to transforming vacant lots into community assets.
The Adopt-A-Lot program, developed as part of Vacant Lot Toolkit, was created to allow residents a streamlined process by which to access city-owned vacant lots for food, flower, or rain gardens. In an effort to combat the problem of vacant city-owned lots, the program had three goals: foster neighborhood interaction, re-imagine the potential of vacant lots, and encourage environmental awareness.
In the first two years, 114 vacant lots have been transformed around the city as part of 40 community projects- a total of 10 acres of formerly vacant land now community assets.
Start here to adopt your lot today!

The unfair trade tactics of the communist Chinese government have repercussions far beyond trade imbalances and the ability to sell cheap fruit to China's massive consumer base. The trade war that the Chinese have been waging poses an existential threat to U.S. sovereignty and future military superiority. That was made clear during a meeting of the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday, June 21.
It's been standard operating procedure to look at Chinese incursions into American industry and academia on a case-by-case basis. That's the wrong way to look at it according to Michael Griffin, the undersecretary of Defense for research and engineering.
He said that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is tasked with allowing or disallowing foreign investments in the United States, but it is too limited in scope; it doesn't look at all Chinese purchases as a group. "In the CFIUS process, historically we look at one deal at a time," Griffin told the committee. "I think it is the broader pattern that is more concern."
In the last 10 years, China has invested more than $40 billion in U.S. companies. These investments, joint ventures, and acquisitions allow the Chinese to transfer technology under the guise of it being "just business."
"We don't look at Chinese investments from the perspective of the mischief that might be made simply by having foreign ownership and, in some cases, control of such avenues," Griffin said. "We are not drawing distinctions in our industrial policies between friends and allies and partners and people who behave in an adversarial manner."
The Chinese do behave in an adversarial manner, and they don't do anything piecemeal. The Chinese government isn't only engaging in an economic trade war but a technological, societal, and military quest to surpass America as the world's great superpower.
"Made in China 2025" is a Chinese government initiative designed to modernize and upgrade its industrial base. The program looks to dominate emerging high-tech industries, the expected drivers of future economic success. Reminiscent of the Soviet Union's five-year-plans, the program looks to increase Chinese prestige and power on the world stage and become the world's most important economy.
In March of 2018, the Office of the United States Trade Representative issued a 200-page report detailing the unfair and underhanded trade policies of the Chinese government. In the report, the "Made in China 2025" initiative is cited 116 times for examples of this type of behavior.
Of course, Chinese purchases of those high-tech industries are concerning for reasons beyond their economic impact. There are frightening military concerns as well. If the Chinese government approach was to simply develop its own technologies that would be well enough. However, China's attempts to upgrade its industrial and military base is laden with espionage and outright theft from other countries, mainly America.
"China is the embodiment of the military technology transfer," said Anthony Schinella, national intelligence officer for military issues at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
What's even more galling about Chinese incursions into American industry and academia is that they aren't even attempting to hide it. Another Chinese program, begun in 2008, is the "Thousand Talents" program, which looks to "facilitate the legal and illicit transfer of U.S. technology, intellectual property and know-how," to China says an analysis from the National Intelligence Council, which analyzes long-term threats.
"We have seen the Chinese target top talent in American universities and research labs in the private sector, including defense contractors and the U.S. government," Griffin reported. In other words, the open society that we enjoy in the United States might be giving China access to the technology and the know-how that it needs to defeat us both economically and militarily.
So, the Chinese aren't waging war with tanks and ships and missiles; not yet. The current conflict is more akin to the Cold War with the Soviets, with espionage and, amazingly, financial investment being the primary war-making forces. And the Chinese are currently winning that war without the United States even entering the fray as of yet.
Those concerned about President Trump igniting a trade war with China would do well to learn one thing. That war is already happening and has been for some time — it was just being waged by one side. A failure to engage the People's Republic of China over their blatant and sometimes illegal tactics on the issue of trade and industrial and military espionage is tantamount to allowing the eventual takeover of the United States, not only industrially but militarily as well.
In this case, the analogy to war in our trade and economic dealings with China is apt. Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama were the Neville Chamberlains of our time. Now, we need a Churchill.

text: 1997 was an interesting year for the Jets. Coming off a 1-15 debacle expectations were not high. New coach Bill Parcells was attempting to change the fate of the franchise. A week four match-up against the Raiders at the Meadowlands would be a great way to do it. The Jets were able to pull it out with a Ray Mickens blocked field goal late in the game. The win started a stretch in which the Jets won 5 out of 6 games and put themselves in position for their first playoff appearance since 1991.

Understanding Medical Negligence
Healthcare professionals are working to do their best for our health and they are often very successful in what they do. However, mistakes will be made and errors will arise. These are just common things that happen among people. Staffs can be subjected to significant pressures, due to time restraints and difficult goals. These mistakes can be considered as medical negligence and affected individuals should be compensated properly.
Medical negligence could happen due to errors made by various medical professionals, such as doctors, nurses, dentists, surgeons, pharmacists and others, whether they work within the private sector or National Health Service. By definition, each medical negligence cease can be different due to unique set of situations. There are different areas where things can go really wrong. Issues may arise if doctors unintentionally deal in diagnosing more serious diseases, such as cardiovascular problems and cancer.
The failure to diagnose the condition should be sufficient evidences that the patient didn't obtain required treatments. When the condition is eventually diagnoses, there could already be greater risk and the disease has intensified.
Doctors may misinterpret some symptoms as benign and minor, when they are actually related to possible cardiac issues. This could cause the illness to worsen and can incapacitate the patient. Also, some cases of misdiagnosis have cause patients to undergo more severe treatment and surgeries, exposing them to possible complications. Incorrect diagnosis will cause patients to receive treatment unrelated to their conditions and miss out on the needed treatments for their real condition.
Delayed, incorrect and missing diagnoses should be defined as medical negligence, because they can prevent healthcare professionals from carrying out proper investigations of the condition. They will be unable to interpret results from evidences, which cause them miss the accurate diagnosis. Evidences could still be within their reach, but despite training and correct procedure, unexpected things could still happen.
Even with correct diagnosis, negligence could occur during the treatment and procedure themselves. Risks could elevate if risks are not managed and recognized appropriately. Healthcare professionals should have the expertise and training to perform the treatment successfully. In general, negligence could occur in any scenario and stage of the treatment. Any medical procedure, no matter safe, may carry a set of risks and professionals in the industry should try to minimize them.
Emergency rooms are often crowded and hectic and medics also need to deal with high turnover of new patients. They also need to deal with a variety of factors, such as targets, tight timescales, severity of the conditions and others. In these cases, corners are cut and some of the procedures are not followed appropriately. Correct diagnosis and procedures should minimize risks, so patients should make sure that they get proper treatments.
Obstetrics or childbirth also carries their unique set of risks, if they affect the child and the mother. Inadequate management of birth and follow-up cares could result in more serious injuries, such as still birth, cerebral palsy and brain damage.

When it comes to leadership, we often focus on the positional leader, the person near the top, addressing various opportunities for growth and development of habits and disciplines that, if cultivated, should eventually lead to success.
In this blog, however, I'd like to focus on another facet of the leadership spectrum—our role as employees. We'll see that exhibiting a poor work ethic is really a failure to lead from within and can seriously jeopardize our influence and witness.

Orthognathic surgery refers to the surgical correction needed to fix substantial abnormalities of the maxilla (upper jaw), the mandible (lower jaw), or both. The abnormality may be a birth defect, a growth defect, or the result of traumatic injuries to the jaw area.
Orthognathic surgery is generally performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to correct malocclusion (bad bite) in cases where routine orthodontic treatment has not or will not be effective. Orthognathic surgeries include the reconstruction of the mandible or maxilla, mandibular ramus, maxilla osteotomy, and mandibular osteotomy.
There are several classifications of malocclusion (the improper coming together of teeth) which may require orthognathic surgery:
Class I Occlusion – This malocclusion means that the lower anterior incisors sit directly behind the upper anterior incisors when the patient bites down. This is considered less destructive than Class II and Class III malocclusions.
Class II Malocclusion – This is identified when the lower anterior incisors lie significantly behind the upper anterior incisors during the biting process, in some cases hitting the soft tissue behind the upper incisors. This is commonly referred to as an overbite and can cause discomfort, bone damage, excessive wear of the front teeth, and tooth loss.
Class III Malocclusion – This is commonly known as an underbite and occurs when the lower anterior incisors and lower jaw are positioned beyond the upper teeth, making the lower jaw much more prominent than the upper jaw.
Reasons for orthognathic surgery
The malocclusion of the teeth can create greatly destructive forces among the five powerful muscles that control the closing and opening of the jaw. These muscles generate a tremendous force when clenching, grinding or chewing. Misalignment can seriously damage the function and aesthetic appearance of the teeth in many ways if left untreated, such as:
What does orthognathic surgery involve?
When the dentist identifies a patient as a candidate for orthognathic surgery, a complete photographic analysis is initially undertaken. This includes panorex x-rays, cephalometric x-rays, models, impressions, and radiographs. Your oral & maxillofacial surgeon, your orthodontist and your dentist will work together and consider how the corrective surgery will impact both proper jaw function and the aesthetic appearance of the entire face.
Generally, orthodontic braces are necessary to align the arches and straighten the teeth prior to the surgery, and additionally, retainers may be used after the surgery. During maxillary surgery, the upper jaw is moved and may be secured in position using tiny plates, wires, rubber bands and screws. Surgery on the mandible is performed using bone grafts to align the lower jaw into the correct position. Orthognathic surgery generally requires a general anesthesia and a good deal of aftercare. Pain medication will be prescribed as necessary, and you'll be given post treatment advice for your recovery. You may also be provided with a modified diet (if required).
My two children had a very pleasant first visit. We were all treated with much kindness from a very friendly staff. Dr. Chand spent time explaining procedures to my children and to us. We are happy we found you!
This office is outstanding! We love Dr. Lee and Dr. Chand. The office is clean and the kids actually get excited to come to the dentist. You all do a wonderful job and I wouldn't make a change. Thank you!
Love your office! Everyone from front reception to the Dentist to the decor of office is amazing.
My children love coming to Dr. Lee's office. Everyone is so helpful, happy and kind. It is a great experience for kids - no fear of dentists here!Julie, Laguna Beach
Thank you so much Dr. Lee and Martha for your kindness and gentleness with my two children Carter and Kasey. They look forward to coming to the dentist and it is always a positive experience for them. Thank you all for taking the time to explain what is happening to put the children at ease. We could not do it without all of your help!
We really like this office and the staff is the very best. :) keep up the good work!
I am so grateful for finding you all! I have been to three different dentists with my kids & none of them have given me the feel you all did. The experience & warm welcome I received stepping through the front door was enough for me. Topping it off was my 4-year-old saying "Mama, I like the dentist!" when we got into the car. That's enough to "sell" any mom on a dentist for her kids!
I'm thrilled with how fun visiting a dentist can be for my 1 and 3 year olds. But most of all, Dr. Chand encouraged my daughter to stop sucking her thumb. It was like magic. I love them.

Diwali is a festival that I know little about. I've heard the name and I know it's celebrated in India, but the actual celebration is something I know little about. I'm adding Diwali to my list to learn more about it and because India is a country that I am fascinated by. In a Global Art class I took, we intensively studied the architecture of the Taj Mahal and ever since I have been intrigued by Indian art and history.
Around this time of year in India and all over the world, Diwali, a five day festival is celebrated by Hindus Indians. Also known as the "Festival of Lights", Diwali is one of the most colorful events in the world. The search for inner light is deeply rooted in Hindu religion. Diwali is basically the celebration of good over evil, brightness over darkness. There are many legends that are associated with Diwali, each with this same theme of good over evil. What makes Diwali the festival of lights is the diyas. Diyas are small cotton-wick candles used for decoration.
Each of the five days of Diwali has its own significance. The first day celebrates with traditional decorations of Indian motifs and lights on houses. The second day is referred to as "Small Diwali" with fewer lights. The third day is the day of Diwali. It is the most important day of the five and is celebrated with fireworks (see pictures). Diwali continues with two more days of celebrations which include the exchange of gifts among loved ones.
Diwali has a lot of its own rituals involved. While it may be from a very Western viewpoint, Diwali reminds me a little of Christmas celebrations at my own home. Diwali is filled with traditional cooking, sweets, gifts, and games. The tradition of playing cards is a major part of the Diwali celebration. I found a description on why this is so: "The tradition of gambling on Diwali also has a legend behind it. It is believed that on this day, Goddess Parvati played dice with her husband Lord Shiva and she decreed that whosoever gambled on Diwali night would prosper throughout the ensuing year. This tradition of playing cards- flush and rummy with stakes on this particular day continues even today" (http://www.diwalifestival.org).
India is a country that is full of interesting history and culture. India has recently been in the news, as President Obama has been supporting its mission for a permanent seat on the Security Council. It will be interesting to see if his support helps lead to the permanent seat. Personally, I think it would be beneficial to have India on the Security Council- both to India itself and the UN.

Thought: then measure it in motion. aim a constant beam of light at a super sensitie scale and see if it records any weight. if the answer is zero - then it weights nothing. if it weights XYZ, then it weights something. math can determin how much each particle of light weights.
Second thought: black holes have so much density - and such a strong gravitational pull - that =nothing= escapes it - including light.
Questions: Does light need weight to be influenced by gravity? If light has no weight, would it give the metaphorical bird to gravity in passing, or would it be trapped and pulled in, like everything else? Does gravity work on things that weigh nothing? Is light drawn to earth due to the earths gravity, or does it go by the earth, because the earth was simply in its way?
2. black holes and light
thought: black holes have the 'event horizon' where, just before anything actually falls into the hole, everything "seems/is percived" to freeze and stretch out in time. Including light. Light stretches out into the red specrum, becoming 'invisible', as it were.
questions: is light truely trapped? Or have we just not yet seen how it escapes (or drives by)? (re: if light weighs nothing, is the black hole simply in its way?)
3. Black hole
thoughts: What if black holes are more than 'needy stars' - that only take, but never give? What if black holes process everything it captures and compresses, and releases it back out? But we don't see it - for example, black matter. What if black holes are the earth equivalent of volcanoes that form new 'matter'?
...and such, I think about on a lazy sunday afternoon.
